Mamamia Out Loud

A very wise man has a 'State of Life' Test he gives himself every Monday morning. So we did it. Results… vary.
Forget boy bands, man bands are back. But is anyone listening to new music, anyway?
SUBSCRIBE to Mamamia and never miss a word of Out Loud. Plus get access to every story and our exercise app, MOVE.
We hate to bring it up (again), but Em has something in common with Elon Musk.
Also, the email sign-offs you should never, ever use. Sincerely.
And, reccos (all TV this week)....
Holly recommends Rivals: Season 2 on Disney Plus because it’s 'beyond earthly praise'.
Clare recommends Should I Marry A Murderer? on Netflix. because she says it’s quality murder doc.
Em recommends Off Campus on Amazon Prime, because it will fill the Heated Rivalry hole (in your heart).

And the friendship wedding dilemma that we can’t agree on.
Oh, and have you noticed anything funny about the pictures behind us in the studio? Yes, that.

The world has just discovered Delta Goodrem, and the world has questions.
The world also has some queries about what a 'two-bob watch' is, and why that term might be used about a disruptive passenger on an Aussie flight.

Also, suddenly everything that is bad for us is good again. The culture would have us believe that smoking is back, red meat is a health food, partying til dawn is aspirational and tanning beds are a nice lie-down. So what’s all this nonsense about, and why the great wellness vibe shift?
And, Kylie Minogue got asked who the love of her life was. And her answer has given rise to a new dating theory - the 'Dog Years' relationship.
Oh, and… should you chuck out your toothbrush when you get sick? Amelia’s husband has thoughts.

If you, like us, are obsessed with Lena Dunham's latest book Famesick, we're here for you with this special episode. You're welcome.
The Girls creator who became the ‘voice of a generation’ is back with a second memoir and Mia, Holly, Amelia and Em are discussing why the world is finally ready to hear her side of the story. From the heights of toxic fame to the depths of chronic illness, her relationship with Jack Antonoff and highly publicised falling-out with showrunner Jenni Konner - we're unpacking it all.
Plus, did her parents save her from the darker side of fame or did they actually stop her from ever growing up? We have thoughts.
Whether you’re rewatching Girls for the tenth time or you’re reading her memoir like a novel, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
