Nothing Good Starts With A Deleted Tweet
Interesting Friday fact: The most expensive dog in Australia is also the tiniest. That does not seem like value for money. We discuss: How much is too much to spend on a pet? Plus, is it ever okay to call a woman polarising?

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Australia has voted YES. Most of Out Loud was at the marriage equality announcement today, and are sprinkled with glitter and smiling their heads off. But what happens next? Plus, is it time we culled the office Christmas party? Is it too problematic in these sensitive times? And, last week, comedian, Louis CK “apologised” for masturbating in front of five. But for many people - his apology, which forgot two keywords - was not enough. Which makes us wonder - is it possible to please the apology police? Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens Your producer and editor is Elissa Ratliff The Director of Podcasts is Rachel Corbett Jessie recommends taking your mum to a painting class.

Never Put A Cucumber Where Cucumbers Shouldn't Go
Shut the front door, Outlouders. Jessie Stephens has a recommendation today that will blow your hair back, and it's all about what should - and should never - go near your pink parts. Also, have you ever been 'stashed'? It's a new word for a relationship situation that's as old as time. Has it happened to you? Is it ever okay to 'shirt-front' the Prime Minister? Karl Stefanovic did it this week. Was it investigative journalism in action? Or just plain rude? And - shop changing-room etiquette? What's okay and not okay to do when you're behind the dreaded curtain? Happy Friday. Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens Your producer and editor is Elissa Ratliff The Director of Podcasts is Rachel Corbett Mia thinks you should watch The Letdown on ABC iView Jessie recommends not using soap on your pink bits.

Sometimes, You Just Have To Lick A Window
Paris Jackson was the big international guest at the Melbourne Cup this year. And she did what international guests are paid to do - she created headlines both for both her fashion and her attitude. So why is she being labelled a diva? If you are confused about the week’s biggest political story - what’s happening on Manus Island - we want to help. Jessie gives an explainer about why that dot in the Pacific is back in the news, and what we can all do to help. And - flexible working is something everyone aspires to in 2017 - but is it really as good for women as it sounds on paper?

Kevin Spacey Is Problematic
Kevin Spacey came out and infuriated an entire community this week, because you can't hide sexual assault allegations behind a 'rainbow shield'. Is that what he was doing? And are we finally living in a world where there's 'zero tolerance' for sexual harrassment? Jessie is convinced that she has every right to question whether Sophie and Stu really 'found love' on The Bachelorette. But does she? And, we have a hack that will help you sort out who your real friends are, and who should just be given a walk-on part in your life. You're welcome.

The Change Is Making Us Anxious
It was World Menopause Day last week, and fittingly, no-one noticed. Because no-one notices women "of a certain age" anyway, right? Wrong. Plus, is it ever okay to criticise your ex? Karl Stefanovic’s estranged wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn, has told a women’s magazine the Today show host is 'dead to her’. So, do separated parents have an obligation to keep it nice for the kids, or is a bit of honesty refreshing? And did you know the way to tell if Prince Harry's really getting married is to keep an eye on Meghan Markle's manicure? Is it okay to make new friends of the opposite sex when you're in a relationship? And has mental health awareness gone too far? Mark Latham says so, and the strange thing is - he might actually be right... Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens Your producer and editor is Elissa Ratliff The Director of Podcasts is Rachel Corbett Holly thinks you should read Jennifer Eagen's new book Manhatten Beach Jessie recommends reading Caroline Overington's book The Lucky One Mia wants you to read The Break by Marian Keyes, whose No Filter will be going live next week.

What Would Lisa Wilkinson Do
You might have heard that Lisa Wilkinson has a new job. After 10 years of waking up with Today on Nine, Wilkinson is leaving to go to Network Ten, and you might have noticed, it’s caused a bit of fuss. So is Lisa Wilkinson a gender pay gap warrior, or is she just, as head of Nine Hugh Marks seems to be trying to suggest, just a ‘Difficult Woman’? Plus, if your Facebook newsfeeds have been flooded with people sharing their Me Too stories but you can’t work out why - we are here to explain. And Pink has summed up every long-term relationship, ever.

Sometimes A Sandwich Is Just A Sandwich
Is making a sandwich a crime against feminism? It is according to the women of a popular Facebook mother's group who took aim at one of their own after she dared to ask if anyone had any interesting ideas for sandwiches she could make her husband. Plus, What’s going on with Harvey Weinstein? At the start of the week the New York Times published an expose about his history of sexually assaulting young women in the industry.

The Suffragettes Didn't Fight For Tequila
We need to talk about Frances Abbott. The youngest daughter of former PM Tony has been everywhere this week - first in her bikini on a body-building stage and then as a vocal opponent of her father’s ‘No’ campaign on the marriage equality postal vote. What must it be like around that Sunday dinner table right now? Plus, are you a slave to your ‘to-do’ list? Lots of A-types swear by them, but Happiness guru Gretchen Rubin thinks we might actually be better-served by creating a ta-da list instead. Three Kardashian’s are pregnant. Is this the best PR stunt the family has ever pulled? And, Comedian Dawn French caused a media storm in a shotglass this week when she questioned whether young women getting drunk and having ‘casual sex’ is really what the suffragettes fought for - but is this, in the words of Jessie Stephens, problematic?

Conscious re-coupling is a thing. Brad and Angelina are doing it, and so are Roxy Jacenko and Oliver Curtis. But how do you know if a relationship is really worth saving?

And by Wednesday it would seem the internet has fallen in love with hating on Taylor Swift. But, why? Plus, we need to talk about the statues that sit in our parks across the country. Should they be pulled down? Should their inscriptions be changed? Should we just put up some different ones of, you know, women?
