What can we expect from Harry and Meghan's royal tour in Australia?
Hello and welcome to Mamma Mia Out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Monday the 13th of April. I'm Holly Wainwright. Oh, you have something. I was pausing because you had something in the script. I did and I do. I'll bring that back. I was going to do it at the end and then I was like. I'm Holly Wainwright and I've got a Rogue Monday question before we get started today.
Okay.
From my friends here who are.
You are? Oh, I'm Claire Stephens.
And I'm Ember and I'm filling in for Amelia today. I heard this heated debate in the office this morning. You know how on Monday morning everyone's chitty chatting in the kitchen? Yeah. We're still going on with the weekend. do you share a towel with the people you live with now I know that you live alone Emily but you grew up in a house with other people so you get to answer this question too do you share a towel like not one towel but like are there specific towels for specific people or just general towels for use so this is kind of one of the problems with my life I share a towel
My husband doesn't know that. My husband thinks.
What do you mean you share a towel?
As in like if my partner's just got out of the shower and his towel's hanging up, I'll just use it.
Jail.
Like I'll just use it. I'm like, here's my theory.
immune systems I think I have I reckon we should all be using each other's towel I've been known to use someone else's toothbrush and people get really mad and I'm like I don't know this is the debate right Em because the debate in the kitchen went something like somebody said what you just said Claire which is also my position there are towels hanging up in the in the bathroom as long as they're dry and not smelly I'm using it I don't it's not like that's Brent's towel this is my towel Touch someone else's genitals. Yeah, that's exactly what, so you present the other argument because Nicole, our friend Nicole was like, that's disgusting. It's disgusting. What do you want from that? Fungal infection?
Because you're going to get one. So in your house of origin, and if you've got other people in your house now, it's like, here's your towel, here's my towel. This is your towel.
No, after they all go in the washing machine, then, like, you can have a different towel. Maybe if you're looking for a different colour. Yeah. If you're getting bored. But, no, if that's your towel, that's your towel for the week.
I did. I did find out. It's this week's towel.
It's this week's towel.
I did find out. I've got, I had this, like, weird gut bacteria called H. pylori. Oh, I wonder how she got that.
Anyway.
It can be like a risk factor for bowel cancer and stuff. So I'm glad I found out I had it and it got treated. But the way I found out was that Jessie had it and they basically said, if you've lived in the kind of family that has few boundaries germ-wise, you all have it. And so I just called up my family being like, guys, we've all had it.
That's so few boundaries germ-wise. That is a great way of putting it. All right, I'm sorry to start Monday like that out loud, but if you want to ask yourself this question, are you? Because I know some people who are like, the green towel's mine, the yellow towel's yours. Claire, I feel like I'm looking at you differently now.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Riddled with disease. Here's what's actually made our agenda for this Monday morning.
It's Beba Chella and the young millennials and older Gen Zs cannot stop crying. Yes, I've seen. Why did the singer duetting with these old YouTube videos feel strikingly profound?
Also, the world is in complete chaos. Her husband is making everything worse. So why did Melania Trump choose this moment to step out in front of a camera, unprompted, to deliver a very strange address? She's so funny. Funny is one word. But girl. Her time is right.
And Lena Dunham and the addiction to fame, everything that's been happening since she stepped back into the spotlight.
But first it's Christmas week and by that I mean it's Harry and Meghan week. Yes, indeed. Our favourite, not favourite, ex-royals.
