Mamamia Out Loud

Scenes in Melbourne this week bear a frightening resemblance to the United States Capitol attack. So what are protestors actually rallying for, why do they want to 'Kill the Bill', and when does activism go too far?

Plus, has the way we look at age-gap relationships shifted, and what we once considered ordinary is now icky, and what we once considered novel is now normal? 

And, the important life lessons we learned from George Clooney this week, which include the Amal effect and the best type of friend.

On Friday afternoon, Taylor Swift re-released her 2012 break-up album Red, and with it put her heartbreak over ex-flame Jake Gyllenhaal back in the spotlight. Safe to say it likely ruined Jake’s weekend, because the Swifties are after him, but does he deserve the pile-on almost a decade after their relationship ended?

Plus, in a very 2006 vibe, the Noughties It Girls —Britney, Paris and Lindsay — are having a revival, but the narrative around these women is very different to the last time they made headlines.

And, do people like you as much as you think they do? Theory behind the “Liking Gap”

We're afraid to say Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back in the headlines, for three very different reasons this week: Harry's bang-on prediction about the Capitol insurrection, The Sussex's involvement in a not-so "unauthorised" biography, and Meghan's half-brother's stint on Australian reality TV. 

Plus, how much of our private movements are we willing to share with our loved ones? We talk location trackers and awkward friend phone calls. 

And our Best and Worst of the week. 

Heads up: episode talks about domestic violence. If this raises issues for you there's help. Call 1800 RESPECT.

Today a very special guest has joined Mia, Holly and Jessie in the studio: it’s New York Times Best Selling author Sally Hepworth!

The recent Instagram stories of former Home and Away actor Isobel Lucas at an anti-vax rally has us wondering if we should stop following problematic people and topics on social media, or if it’s better to keep tabs on them.

Plus, the subtle way everyone is introducing a new partner into their lives.

And, is it a problem for plastic surgeons to share videos of gory procedures on their social platforms? And if so, why can’t we stop watching?

We’ve noticed some weird vibes coming from Chris Pratt lately, most recently in a birthday Instagram post to his wife that barely mentioned his wife, and sparked backlash about the way he described his daughter.

Plus we’ve got the details on the horror crowd surge that killed eight people during Travis Scott’s festival set in Texas. And, The Quicky host, Claire Murphy talks us through how she has become a successful morning person in more ways than one.

WARNING: Things get a bit sexy.

On Wednesday, we were part of the chorus of relief and delight at a missing girl being found alive after 18 days. Since then, there have been paparazzi outside Cleo Smith's house, pictures of her first days of freedom, a meeting between the family and the WA Premier. Cleo's family will be bombarded with media offers, many with price tags, but is this a time when the media should be leaving the Smiths alone? Do we feel like we're owed something because of the emotion we've invested in this story? 

Plus, Celeste Barber, Em Rata, and a row about internalised misogyny.

And, our best and worst of the week, which includes a very embarrassing Prime Minister and Joe Rogan.

Most of us awoke to some amazing news this morning, that four-year-old Cleo Smith has been found alive and well. It’s the story that has gripped most of the country for the last two weeks, and after 18 days, it's the headline we were praying for. But how did we become so unaccustomed to good news?

Plus, has getting dressed up and going to the races become...uncool? The cultural shift of celebrities snubbing The Cup. 

And, when do kids need their parents most? Teen-ternity leave explained.

Former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has made an appearance at the ICAC investigation into whether or not she breached public trust, and turned a blind eye to alleged corrupt behaviour by her ex-partner. Two camps have formed in the court of public opinion,  The ‘poor Gladys, everyone’s had a bad boyfriend’ team and the ‘she knew exactly what she was doing’ side. We're divided. 

Plus, gambling ads seem to be following us around everywhere we go right now. Should we ban them?

And... are you afraid of your Gen Z colleagues?

In case you missed it, the biggest company in the world is rebranding. Mark Zuckerberg - boss and owner of Facebook and overlord to us all - announced overnight that the company will now be known as Meta. So what does the Meta-verse entail and what does it mean for us?

Plus, there’s a very messy celebrity split playing out on social media that has us asking… is it ALWAYS best to take the high road? 

And our best and worst of the week, including crutches and gambling.

A worrying trend is starting to emerge in the UK and this week, it’s reportedly spread to Australia - You might have heard about it online or seen videos about it on TikTok…it’s called needle spiking and it’s happening in nightclubs and bars. Are we supposed to wear body armour out of the house now? Or is this a case of rumours spiraling into fearmongering?

Plus, is Daniel Johns Australia's Britney Spears? Why the reclusive rockstar is back in the headlines.

And, do you let your dog play with sticks? Of course you do. Well, here's why you shouldn't.
