After Work Drinks

Merry Christmas to everyone except MP Andrew Broad who ruined our week and the phrase 'G'Day Mate' forever with his embarrassing sexting scandal. On a more serious note, we unpack Australian actress Yael Stone's sexual harassment allegations against Geoffrey Rush, and look at why #MeToo hasn't taken off in Australia. Plus, what Oprah says goes - how to tackle our inherent desire to be people pleasers.We’re taking a break for the next two weeks, but you can still get updates via our Facebook group, ‘After Work Drinks Podcast.’Links: ‘We Deserve A Better Class Of Horny Text From Our Elected Representatives’ by James Hennessy for Pedestrian TVhttps://www.pedestrian.tv/news/politicians-horny-texts/Izzy’s story on Ariana Grande grieving Mac Miller https://www.marieclaire.com.au/ariana-grande-milking-mac-miller-deathGrace’s story on Meghan Markle (we’ll stop plugging ourselves/each other now, sorry)https://www.elle.com.au/culture/meghan-markle-bitch-19510‘The Cost of Telling a #MeToo Story in Australia’ by Bari Weiss for the New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/opinion/metoo-defamation-geoffrey-rush-yael-stone.htmlYael Stone on ABC’s 7:30 with Leigh Saleshttps://iview.abc.net.au/show/7-30?fbclid=IwAR161MGd83zYzu32SDS6DIwONR1TNUKHbTTaDPE5gH67O4QGrYZUiK2x3nY‘Help: I’m a People-Pleaser, and I Hate It’ by Allison P.

Last week's MTV VMAs marked 10 years since Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, kicking off the celebrity feud of the decade. After Izzy rewatched the footage and Grace read a new T Swift profile, we discuss the whole drama, and examine how Taylor Swift, a decade on, may still be missing the point. Plus, is everyone except us and Kirsten Dunst intermittent fasting? She is our new celebrity crush - offering us all a lesson in abandoning vanity (and selling your shit when it doesn't fit you anymore). And on a more serious note: how the palace got dragged into the #MeToo movement and what Prince Andrew's chubby fingers have to do with anything.
