Mamamia Out Loud

The full conversation is now live! Enjoy the taster? Listen to the full episode here.
Outlouders, Brooklyn Beckham went nuclear on his Instagram stories this morning so, gather around because this is your sneak peek of the emergency podcast meeting Mia Freedman instantly called for subscribers. It was 6am. We had not had coffee.
We have literally just stopped recording and are sprinting this straight to you because at 5pm today the entire subscriber episode drops. No waiting. No edging. Full chaos.
Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright join Mia because they are deep in the whole sad, sorry saga of the Beckham/Peltz family drama: big opinions, unexpected detours, emotional whiplash and at least one moment where someone says, “Should we cut this?” (We did not.)
This is a taste. The full feast lands at 5pm for subscribers.

One of the most listened to men in the world is being accused of 'red-pilling' his audience. But what is that, and has it happened to Steven Bartlett of Diary of a CEO?

Our (literal) foreign policy expert Amelia Lester is back and we have questions for her about Greenland. Namely, where is it? Why does Trump want it? And what happens if he gets it?

Also, JLo has been accused of being rude when she didn't say "Hi" to the Glambot Guy on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week. We all love stories of snooty celebrities but is this just an extension of telling women to "Smile"?
Plus, on your Instagram it's 2016. So why are we so attracted to recent nostalgia, and what are the tell-tale signs that a pic was taken the year the whole world lurched towards the flaming bin?
All that and other excellent stuff too on today's Mamamia Out Loud with Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester.

Could you have guests over without cleaning all the way up? What about turning off the GPS when you're driving? How about not tracking your kids and partner, no matter what?
This year, it's all about friction-maxxing. Learning to live without a few of the conveniences that have become crutches, all in the pursuit of becoming - no big deal - more human. Em is horrified and Jessie is inspired by this essay in The Cut by Kathryn Jezer-Morton.
Also, Holly's favourite Dax Shepard says that he will pay for his daughter to freeze her eggs when she turns 18. Is this genius, generous parenting, or snow-plough dadding in action?
And, is everyone brushing their faces now?
Plus, our recommendations include something glowy for your face, the best coffee pot in the world, and a book Jessie cannot stop thinking about.

Recommendations
Em recommends a Moka Coffee Pot
Jessie recommends Heart the Lover by Lily King.
Holly recommends the L’Oreal Lumi Glotion.

Since when did cosy chats about books suck up quite so many headlines? Adelaide Writers' Week is the longest-running literary event in Australia and this week it collapsed under the weight of its own controversy. So, Em asks Holly and Jessie, what are writers' festivals for, anyway?
Jennifer Lawrence re-homed her dogs after she had a baby and Jessie wants to know why nobody warned her that talking about that will ruin her life. And Jessie would know.
When does a situationship become a boy/girlfriend? And when does a boy/girlfriend become a partner? And does anyone (apart from Raye) like the word husband? Thanks to Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, we have a new commitment ladder for relationships in 2026.
Also, the job choice that can predict your age and stage.
And the new endo test that could change everything for women tired of waiting for an answer about why they're in agony.
Oh, and did Holly just get fleeced by Harry Styles?

It's Golden Globes day and Mia Freedman is joining Holly, Jessie and Em to talk about frocks that landed and jokes that didn't. We're not mad, we'll just wait for our podcast category invite next year.
When a former Disney star decides to put her mothers' group on blast, famous faces included, what could make it worse? Only a defensive Dad entering the chat. Yes, we're unpacking Ashley Tisdale's viral "toxic mums" essay.

Also, the Beckhams' family estrangement gets brutal - thanks to a recipe for roast chicken. Plus an explainer on Trump's Venezuela and why the food pyramid looking upside down is bad news for cows.
Yes, Mamamia Out Loud is back from Summer break and Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Emily Vernem have a LOT to tell you.
