    The Millionaire CEO Going Viral For A… Snatch
    Sep 1 2025
    Oh, labubus. The nightmare-fuel plushies the internet can’t get enough of are... cute? Cursed? Or, literally possessed by Pazuzus requiring religious intervention? There's a sentence we never thought we'd be typing on a Monday afternoon. Whatever. We investigate WTF is going on. Plus, a millionaire CEO caught swiping from a child. Is this the Coldplay CEO 2.0? And can someone please stage a CEO PR intervention? They might be good at running companies but personal publicity? Yeah, not so much. And the fertility test women have been paying for. Doctors now say it doesn’t actually work. Jessie, Holly and Amelia unpack what that means for women everywhere.

    🎉 Guess who's back, back again… 🎉 Outlouders, you asked. We listened.

And that includes how you see what's going on in the world. So, every week we deep-dive into the trends, headlines and viral MumToks through the lens of being just that — a parent. This week: Gen Z’s latest reason for giving parenthood the side-eyeThe guilt trip of not loving every second with your kids Amelia’s campaign to stop parental group texts (bold move)Stacey’s epic analogy for baby number three (you’ll never see tricycles the same way again) Hit play and welcome to the group chat you won't want to mute.
