SUBSCRIBER: It's Time We Talked About 'That Guy'

Almost every workplace has THAT guy. You know, the bloke who doesn't tow the line of what's appropriate and what's not in a workplace. The comments might be mildly laced with misogyny or sexism. They're not technically fireable offences... but they're enough to make us want to gag. In this episode, Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem unpack the undoing of a high-profile TV presenter that's currently unfolding in the UK. Plus, what happens if your boss is a self-proclaimed hugger and you're not? We help one Outlouder navigate a solution that won't end in her needing to find a new job thanks to Em's surprising solution.

'Too Sexy' Sabrina Carpenter & The Very Bad Son

What would you risk to help a family member? In the case of one of the most powerful people on the planet, the answer might be reputation, credibility and legacy. On the table today is US President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son — the understandable act of a devoted dad or a morally dodgy decision? Also, why is 'sorted smugness' a thing now? Have a word please because a life that's completely in order is not something with which all of us are on board. And, Sabrina Carpenter’s live show includes X-rated lyrics and simulated sex positions. But with a very young fanbase to consider, is her content just too much for little eyes and ears? We do a vibe check.

'Tis the season for social gatherings and hosting dinner parties. But cozzie livs has made hosting an expensive exercise, so what's the right etiquette? As a guest, can you ask who else is going?

Interesting listening. Vulnerability leads some people at different times of their life to seek information and ‘guidance’ from people who prey on their emotions. Sharing alerts people to this.
Insufferable

Is no surprise Jessie would go around telling how much she earns to anyone who could be bothered listening to her…At least it’s a break from the constant boring baby stories. Jessie is insufferable
Constantly missing the mark

CCCrackers

More and more ads, Mia just being so self centred constantly. They made the most recent episode about themselves, that they have babies and live close to Bondi junction. It enraged me, I can only imagine how much it would anger the families of the people who have passed. I don’t even know how it is possible that they could be so disrespectful. I’ve been thinking for a while about how self centred they are but this is a whole new level. Grateful for apple to give me the opportunity to rate it a 1
