The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Good Point

4/1/202639 min

An Instagram post asked working mothers for their tips on juggling, and the comments section rebelled. Which is proof that in the last week of a school term, with the holiday/work pressure building, we are not in the mood for helpful hacks, we are in the mood for burning the whole thing down. So, how and why and when did the 'how do you do it all?' bubble burst?

Plus, Amelia Lester is here to help us pick through the chaos of Washington for anything that looks like a golden glimmer in a pile of poo. And some of the optimism is coming from some very unexpected corners. So, we’re unpacking: what happens when the 'worst person you know' actually makes a great point?

And in other business, butter. Just lots and lots of it. From 'butter-dipped' soft serves at the Royal Easter Show to parents on TikTok feeding their kids whole sticks of the stuff for 'brain fuel', it’s being hailed as the new superfood. So, is butter the new avocado? 

Oh, and, the clitoris has finally been mapped, but will that make it any easier for some to find? And Kris Jenner is the latest manifesting good luck symbol for an ambitious generation. Yup. You read that right.

  1. Holly Wainwright· Host0:00

    Hello and welcome to Mamamia Out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Wednesday, the 1st of April. I'm Holly Wainwright.

  2. Amelia Lester· Guest0:07

    I'm Amelia Lester.

  3. Claire Stephens· Host0:08

    And I'm Claire Stephens.

  4. Holly Wainwright· Host0:10

    There won't be any April Fools on today's show because we don't like pranks.

  5. Claire Stephens· Host0:13

    I was gonna say- [laughs] ... we should've started with a joke.

  6. Holly Wainwright· Host0:16

    We should have done.

  7. Claire Stephens· Host0:17

    Mm.

  8. Holly Wainwright· Host0:17

    I had morning TV on this morning, and it was wall-to-wall, like, "Guess what? This is happening. No, it's not."

  9. Amelia Lester· Guest0:23

    Oh.

  10. Claire Stephens· Host0:23

    Oh.

  11. Holly Wainwright· Host0:23

    And I was just like, I don't think the Out Louders have time.

  12. Claire Stephens· Host0:26

    I'm too tired, and there's enough going on in the world that I wish was a joke- Yeah [laughs] that's true ... that I don't, I don't need any forced fun.

  13. Holly Wainwright· Host0:34

    [laughs] So here's what made our agenda for today. The ABC asked working moms for tips on how they get it all done, and the comments section rebelled.

  14. Amelia Lester· Guest0:45

    [laughs] Plus, butter is the new avocado, which is really good because I don't like putting avocado on my hot cross bun.

  15. Claire Stephens· Host0:52

    And Trump is giving yet another estimate of when he thinks the US will leave the war in Iran. So why are political commentators in several Western countries really, really annoyed?

  16. Amelia Lester· Guest1:03

    But first, in case you missed it, the clitoris has been mapped for the first time. There is a map of it and its complex tree branch-like nerves. Joo Young Lee and a team of researchers in the Netherlands have gone where no man has gone before- [laughs] ... to create a 3D scan of the clitoris to tell us exactly how and where orgasms happen. It's only
