Plus, a woman has waited six years to be able to call one of the most famous men in the world her rapist, and now she can. But he isn’t going to jail. The story of Conor McGregor and Nikita Hand.

The Lie Nicole Kidman Still Has To Tell

They're the girls whose names and images have been on every screen and hovering in every conversation around Australia over the last few days. So, exactly what happened to Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles? And how? Plus, Nicole Kidman is an enigma wrapped in a riddle — is that happy divorce pap shot REALLY fake, as she says now, and why is there so much chat about how much she works? What's the real deal here about one of Australia's biggest Hollywood stars? And, Heath Ledger, Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, Dev Patel, Paul Mescal, Harry Styles… No, it’s not a fantasy football team, they’re all men who are the subject of super-cool celebrity lookalike contests. But where are all the women at? Our theories are as varied as they are multiple.

Plus, our recommendations, including some funny women talking about Holly’s favourite subject, a new podcast baby in our family and a TV show to watch this weekend. And a formal apology from Holly, Mia’s new nana name (with a sprinkle of surprise beef) and Jessie’s juicy Saturday night encounter - it’s best and worst.

SUBSCRIBER: "We Can See You... Could You Not?"

Uh-oh. Your neighbours go to the loo and thanks to some dodgy not-so-frosted windows, you can see them EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Yeah, they're nice enough people but not so nice that you want to share their private bathroom business. So, what do you do? Keep quiet or tell them? And if you do decide to have a word, HOW? Fortunately, Holly, Mia and Jessie clean up with advice for the Outlouder who's faced with... way too much. Plus, what happens when after 28 years of marriage you wake up one day and decide "I love you... but yeah, nah to sex now, thanks"? We help one woman with her bedroom conundrum.

The Influencer Family We Can’t Talk About

Medi Mums #medicalmoms are on the rise on social media. Don't know what we're talking about? Listen in as we discuss why parents share their children's moments when they're at their most vulnerable --- and why. Plus, is the era of the celebrity endorsement over? Eva Longoria made her thoughts about the new US president clear but after the election, no-one seems to want to hear what she, or any other celebrity, think. And are you in your Protective Hag era? Let's just say that one of the hosts is and one... not so much. Buckle up for the discussion.

Copenhagen fashion. No prizes for guessing who came up with that particular nugget of joy. Enjoy!
