Monique Bowley, Jo Robin and Lizzie Marton drink beers, watch The Bachelorette and talk about their thoughts. This week, eps 5 and 6 sees clown phobias rise, men with hats fall, and more sporting analogies than you can poke a stick at. Plus, will 'Shark Island' be embedded in the nations conscience forevermore as a symbol of hopelessness? Warning, contains spoilers. Also a tiny bit of dick talk and the odd f word.

The world is due to end today so we're getting some stuff off our chest. Mia accidentally shoplifted. And she burnt her fanny with hot tea. The very unfashionable Monique thinks Qantas should take a bow for saying no to thongs, and Bachelorette Sam Frost should stop wearing 1990's hoop earrings. And is it wrong to stockpile limited edition icecreams? For Jamila, it feels so right. Also today, mental health week. The media portrayal of a family murder-suicide has us asking questions about family violence assumptions. And have you lost your job? The things no one tells you. It's the podcast where TMI is barely enough. Show Notes Your hosts are Monique Bowley, Mia Freedman and Jamila Rizvi. Contact the show via email or twitter @mamamiapodcasts Like us on Facebook here.
