‘I Was An Ugly Child’ & The 5-Second Underthinking Rule

Do you eat the same thing every day for lunch? How about breakfast? And why does it matter? A recent article in the Atlantic looked at people who eat the same thing every day and as a regular chicken sandwich eater, Jessie thinks it’s a great idea. Holly thinks it’s boring...until she realises she’s not all that adventurous herself. So does eating the same thing every day make you a bore or a decision making genius? Plus, following Mia’s recent interview with Gemma Hartley, the Outlouders discuss the complexities around emotional labour in a relationship and how it’s leaving women exhausted. So, is it really the responsibility for women to tell men to step up and do the dishes or should they do it without being asked? And is the situation the same in same-sex couples? WANT MORE?

The world just watched Melbourne County Chief Judge, Peter Kidd as he sentenced pedophile George Pell to six years in prison for the sexual abuse of two young boys, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright, and Jessie Stephens walked straight into the studio after watching the sentence handed down via live stream.

Happy International Women’s Day! As we were planning this show - we thought about how we could do things a little differently. Usually, radios decide that International Women’s Day is a great day to feature some women's voices. But here at Mamamia, we don't reduce that gift to 24 hours a year. We deliver it to you every single day. Taylor Swift has some regrets about her 2015 squad, but who hasn’t had a performative friendship in their 20s? Plus, videos of NRL players having sex are being shared on an almost daily basis in Whatsapp group chats across the country. So are you complicit in image-based abuse if you watch them?

Heard the word Momo a lot this week but not sure what it is? Jessie’s here to explain. It's the internet challenge that seems to be scaring children and parents so much that Kim Kardashian had to intervene. But is Momo actually real? Or is it the modern day equivalent of the monster under the bed? Plus, why are women rubbing period blood on their faces? And no, it’s not for a beauty challenge. And what you need to know about the Michael Jackson Leaving Neverland documentary that is airing here on Friday. Mia’s away this week so Rachel Corbett joins Holly and Jessie to discuss...

Just a warning, this episode of Mamamia Out Loud will be speaking about the George Pell case which may be distressing. For 24-hour support, please call 1800 RESPECT. On Tuesday, after three months under a suppression order, the world learned that Cardinal George Pell was guilty of five counts of child sexual abuse. What has happened next is quite surprising. Former Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and John Howard came out in support of Pell. So why are they defending a convicted paedophile? Plus, Mia Freedman weighs in on the Khloe Kardashian / Tristan Thompson / Jordyn Woods cheating saga, with a bit of help from Jessie. And we introduce a new segment with a terrifying intro.

If you listened to the show last week, you would’ve heard Holly and Jessie saying they were off to see controversial Canadian psychologist and best-selling author, Jordan Peterson live. Well, that happened and Holly may or may not have been converted to Jordan’s way of life. Plus, we’ve all heard of work wives, but what about work mums? A work mum is the person at work who you go to for life advice. Jessie thinks it’s problematic but Mia thinks it’s flattering. And of course, we’ve got an Oscars recap because it wouldn’t be Mamamia Out Loud without one... END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga got a new tattoo this week that pays homage to A Star Is Born. It’s a rose on her back with the La Vie En Rose lyrics but it seems the tattoo and her very public friendship with Bradley Cooper is part of a $20 million Oscars campaign. And Mia Freedman is calling bullshit. Plus, wondering why people are now practicing micro-dosing with illegal drugs? Jessie Stephens speaks to Dr. Brad McKay about why more and more professionals are choosing to take small amounts of LSD at work. And remember the ISIS Brides? Holly wants to know whether or not they should be allowed to come home. All this and more on the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud.

Are you a woman? Apparently, it's your fault Meghan Markle is being hounded by the media. That’s according to The Times columnist Carol Midgley, but Mia Freedman strongly disagrees. So is our desire for gossip and pictures deadly, or just a bit of fun? Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Chanel, died at the age of 85 earlier this week. And while everyone is talking about his contribution to fashion, Jessie thinks there’s something else that he got right - and it's about relationships. And why do scammers find it so easy to manipulate women? The answer is really bloody sad. END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.
