Plebiscites, Gym-Shaming And The Problem With Comedy

Plebiscites, Gym-Shaming And The Problem With Comedy

Lick your stamp and prepare the glitter. Because just when you thought the marriage equality debacle couldn’t be more ridiculous, we might be voting for it via Australia Post. Chris Lilley is in hot water after a social media bungle, which has a lot of people asking; is what we found funny from ten years ago seem very tone deaf today? Does your gym tell you “Summer bodies are made in Winter”? We call bullsh*t on that. A listener dilemma: If a friend is lying about her gastric-banding-induced weight-loss; should I call her out on it?
Messy house? We have the “House Rules” that will turn you tidy. And there are six great background TV shows to put on when your brain is Netflix-fried.
