We Do Not Agree On The Taxi Cab Theory
5/4/202654 min
It’s all Harry Styles’ fault that the 'taxi cab theory' is everywhere you look. His engagement has everyone debating whether finding 'the one' is a matter of fate, or as Sex And The City’s Miranda Hobbes told us, all about timing? We do not agree.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially massive. So, is it good? Why did it almost make Amelia Lester cry and why do some Americans just not 'get' our Aussie love interest Patrick Brammall?
REMEMBER: We drop segments just for subscribers on Tuesdays and Thursdays, hosted by Mia Freedman, with Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright. Become a subscriber, HERE.
Why is there a Sperm Olympics? How is Australia performing in it? And… again, why the hell is there one? Clare Stephens explains spermmaxxing.

First 90 secondsHolly Wainwright· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Mamamia Out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Monday, May the 4th. I'm Holly Wainwright.
Claire Stephens· Host0:10
I'm Claire Stephens.
Amelia Lester· Host0:11
I'm Amelia Lester.
Holly Wainwright· Host0:12
And here's what's on our agenda for today. The taxi cab relationship theory gets an update, thanks to my close personal friend, Harry Styles.
Claire Stephens· Host0:20
Plus, dispatches from the worst-dressed list. Ahead of the Met Gala tomorrow, an A-lister shares what it was like to be mocked over her fashion choices for a decade.
Amelia Lester· Host0:31
And The Devil Wears Prada is absolutely everywhere right now, so we unpack why. And we also talk about the fact that Meryl Streep, who must be the most celebrated actress of all time, apparently didn't discover her worth until she was 56.

Amelia Lester· Host0:52

Holly Wainwright· Host0:59
I don't like asking for this. I don't like asking, okay? [laughs] [laughs] But there's this thing called the Australian Audio Awards. It's like, like, the Oscars or the Emmys or the Logies, except it's not.
Claire Stephens· Host1:09

Holly Wainwright· Host1:12
And we're up for some awards this year, and we need your help to win them. So if you love, love, love Out Loud, and we know that lots of Out Louders do, and you listen all the time and you think, "You know what those, those women need? They need some public accolades- Yeah Yeah ... some affirmation."
Claire Stephens· Host1:29
