Subscribe to Mamamia It’s been three weeks since Matthew Perry died, and all of the predictions he made in his memoir have reigned true. We discuss if the private lives of celebrities are no longer private after they’re gone. Plus, we delve into the fig tree analogy, which explores all the different branches of life, and ask the question: If I follow one path, am I giving up on the other? And, do you need a university degree to be able to give an opinion? The Gen Z TikTokers say yes, and US influencer Emma Chamberlain is their current target.  The End Bits:  Listen to our latest episode: “Are You That Pathetic?" The Hens' Party Test Holly Failed Read: Matthew Perry knew exactly what would happen after his death. Read: The fig tree analogy is the reason you’re not satisfied with your life.
