Mamamia Out Loud

LISTEN: Why the Greens want to legalise marijuana.

Question: Why was the latest season of The Bachelorette US cancelled days before release, costing more than US$30 million? Well, it’s got something to do with stunt casting and a very disturbing video leak… 

Also, millennial feminist icon Lindy West has written a memoir about being in a happily married throuple. The problem is, the Internet has seen her unvarnished honesty and unilaterally decided her book is a lie. Does West protest too much? Or do we have a problem believing a woman could ever be happy beyond the white picket fence?

Plus, nap times, little lunch and a giant TV on wheels. Things we miss from primary school that should definitely be part of the workplace, pls.

And, Chappell Roan and Coldplay kiss-cam star Kristin Cabot have some facts for us about public shaming. 

Oh, and how about those Matildas? The lessons we can only learn from (almost) winning.

Polyamory, Cheating & The Marriage No One Wants To Believe

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/38e7216b-fcef-4116-ba5e-b41300019d46/transcript

Your 'difficult' friends aren't just annoying; they are literally bad for your health. No big deal but it’s official: 'Hasslers' who create drama also accelerate your ‘biological decay’. Is it time to prune the friend tree for the sake of your longevity?

Plus, Belle Burden’s divorce memoir Strangers has the internet asking if telling your 'emotional truth' is just a fancy term for fibbing. With inconsistencies surfacing, Clare wonders if we even care about facts if the story is good, while Em insists that if you’re selling your life story, the least you can do is tell the truth. So, who owns your story and… does the truth even matter any more?

Meanwhile, in other business, Em presents an 'unhinged' list of rules that states men shouldn't drink matcha and women shouldn't know movie directors' names. Yes, it appears we’re all living in her Mojo Dojo Casa House now. 

Oh, and, in breaking news, we’ve all been saying 'Chupa Chups' wrong.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Clare recommends Australian Story: Raising Richard— the moving story of a mother who’s been caring for her son for over 30 years.

Holly recommend Tarte Shape Tape peach corrector for undereye dark circles.

Em recommends Project Hail Mary— a "science-y" space flick starring Ryan Gosling.

An Unhinged List Of Rules No One Asked For

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/2dda710a-81a9-4fcf-b825-b40c003af71f/transcript

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full conversation — 'Mia's Diary Note: Burnout & Bras & Books, Oh My!' — at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.

Mia is deep in a nostalgia hole this week after bingeing the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy series, Love Story. It turns out, seeing a world without DMs, TikTok trends, or the urge to live-stream your breakfast has her ready to trade her smartphone for a flip phone and some chic minimalism. Are we actually 'connected' or just... exhausted?

In this episode:


The 'Always On' Burnout: Mia gets real about the specific brand of fatigue that comes from being reachable 24/7. When did 'relaxing' become just another word for 'scrolling in a different room'?
The Content Trap: Why are we obsessed with turning every family moment into a production for the group chat? Mia asks if it’s possible to just exist — without looking for the best lighting.

Mia's Reccos
The retro chocolate bar making a comeback in Mia’s pantry.
The sports bra finally doing the literal heavy lifting.
The memoir sparking a heated debate: is supporting your partner’s career a romantic gesture or a professional death wish?

Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.
