S5 Ep 17Ask Uncut - Can I Date My Late Husband's Friend?
Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions!We had to record this episode a few days early because we didn’t know if Laura would be on a plane to South Africa to be reunited with Matt after I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!By this time, you’ll well and truly know the outcome of whether he made it to the final and whether Laura survived the 30 hours of flying with two kids!Vibes for the week:Britt - Netflix Apple Cider Vinegar Keeshia - Mid Amanda Keller and Anita McGregor Know How Lucky They Are Laura - Case-Mate Stick It! Then we jump into your questions!CAN I DATE MY LATE HUSBAND’S FRIEND?My husband passed aways in an accident nearly 3 years ago, he was 29 and we had been together since we were 16. After years of heartache (which will live with me forever) I’m finally feeling open to the idea of dating again. I’ve recently reconnected with an old friend who was a friend of my husbands too. He has the most grounded, secure, kind energy and I have found myself having feelings for him. I have no idea where he stands on this situation and whether or not he just sees me as a friend. I want to ask him/ tell him how I’m feeling but I don’t want to get it wrong and potentially uplift our friendship. Help THEY NAMED US GODPARENTS WITHOUT ASKING US FIRSTA couple of weeks ago, my husband and I attended my cousin's baby's dedication at church. All was going well until they announced in front of all our friends and family that my husband and I were the Godparents to their child....We were shocked. There was no previous conversation surrounding this topic, and my husband and I agreed that if they asked us, we would politely decline as it's a serious role to take on as we already have 3 kids of our own (and wanted to try for another). We stood there awkwardly smiling and didn't know how to react. We were never "asked" to be their child's Godparents and were announced with the title in front of everyone with no prior discussion. Is it rude of me to have a conversation with them and explain that we thought it was unfair of them to announce that in front of our family when we were never even asked if we would take on the role, or should I say nothing and pretend like we aren't bothered by it?SHOULD I HAVE MY PARTNERS PHONE PASSCODE?I have a lot of trust issues… I’ve had a rough time with relationships and trust. I always go through my husband's phone (once a day I would say) not necessarily finding anything just “making sure”. About a month ago I asked him to change his password so I couldn’t go through his phone anymore. What do you ladies think about this; not having your partner's phone password? Do you think it will help my trust as I have to keep reminding myself he is a good guy and my past is still haunting me or do you think it’s unhealthy? I did counselling for a long time after my previous relationships but now it’s too expensive with two children. COULD MY PARTNER BE GETTING A FREE RIDE?I have been with my partner for 5 years and we are expecting our first child. I already owned a house before meeting him and have since sold it so we can buy something for our growing family. The issue is, I am the only one contributing to the deposit and it is a large sum of money from the sale. He is older and has no assets of his own. How do I navigate this so I don’t resent him for ‘getting a free ride’ to a house which I’ve worked so hard to have for myself? I can’t help but resent him for not getting his shit together earlier. For context, we had similar upbringings and occupations so there isn’t much of a salary difference between us.

S5 Ep 15A Granny, A Nurse & A Secret Sex Worker For 20 Years! Uncut with Dr Hilary Caldwell
When it comes to topics like pleasure and sex, we all have different biases and shame that we carry and it’s difficult to distance ourselves from the conditioning and societal values that we’ve grown up with. But this episode is definitely going to make you evaluate your thoughts on sex, shame and empowerment. Joining the podcast today is sexologist and academic Dr Hilary Caldwell. Hilary was a sex worker in secret for 20 years and kept her double life from her friends and family. She didn’t have any of the stereotypes that seem to surround women for their reasons of getting into the sex industry and she certainly didn’t need to be saved from it.Hilary has used her experiences in the industry alongside her research to unpack why we feel so much internal shame when it comes to sex. Dr Hilary Caldwell is an academic with a Masters in Health Science and Applied Science. Her doctorate, ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia’ was the first study in the world to explore women buying sexual services and was informed by her professional career in the field of sexology. We chat: Hilary’s reasons for entering the sex work industry and whether they’re the same as everyone who enters the industry Hilary’s experiences entering the industry that oppose preconceived ideas and the things she regrets Why Hilary continued nursing at the same time Why she kept her other work a secret from friends and family What made Hilary want to enter academia and infiltrate the system The different experiences that women have around sex in comparison to men Emotions like jealousy and how poly relationships navigate jealousy Some of the things that sex workers collectively keep secret Why sex workers are fighting for decriminalisation rather than legalisation of their industry You can find more from Hilary at her website And instagram You can find Hilary’s book “Slutdom: Reclaiming shame-free sexuality” You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers, First up, please vote to save Matt in the jungle here!Laura is slightly concerned about Lola's 'spontaneity' if they end up being sent to South Africa to be there for the final of I'm a celeb. She's developed a new way to release her rage 🌙. Britt has asked one of us to be a very important person involved in her wedding, but it's not Laura... Laura knows exactly why she wasn't asked.

We're here to celebrate all of the Valentines, the galentines, the palentines and the ... dogentines.

We unpack what Jake said to Ashleigh on MAFS about 'breaking the trust' after she went to speak with one of the other contestants about some of the horrible things he said about other women during the photo ranking challenge.

S5 Ep 13Ask Uncut - Second Chances, A Cousin's Flirtatious Husband and Following Problematic Accounts
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deepest, darkest dilemmas.Did you have a good 'theme' for your hens? We might all be going as the different versions of Britt. There are a few to choose from!We have spoken about Laura's revelation about how chickens reproduce for the past few weeks but today we list the ridiculous things that you didn't learn until far too late. Vibes and unsubscribes for the week:Britt - unsubscribing from fake real estate photosKeeshia - Prof G Markets PodcastLaura - The brand - Kinga Csilla Then we get into your questions! DO I GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE BECAUSE SHE IS?One of my closest friends has a toxic relationship with her toddler's father. He abandoned her around the time of the birth, and for the first year of the child's life. He has a drinking problem, has cheated, has said some really vile things and even got her pregnant again while having another girlfriend on the side. As you can imagine, I've been there for all of this, and stepped in during his absence a lot. I obvs hate his guts. After being away from him for some time and getting her life back together, he has come crawling back, and now they are back on and LIVING together. I physically cannot bring myself to support this, and I feel awful because I have distanced myself entirely for months. Am I being selfish, and should I give him another chance because she is? I haven't told her how I feel but my silence and absence I think would speak volumes - and hers does too. How to handle this? DO I TELL MY HUSBAND MY PAST DATING LIFE INCLUDED WOMEN?My husband and I are happily married with kids. We’ve been together for about 8 years. He’s a pretty open guy generally speaking but we are from a conservative city so I do sometimes hear comments from him and his family to suggest otherwise. I listened to your episode yesterday about talking about your past relationships. My husband has never wanted to hear about my past relationships, nor share much about him. So here’s the thing… My past few years of relationships before we got together were with women (one of which I lived with). I have no issue with my sexuality but the years of not sharing these details with him have made this into a bigger deal in my head and I feel like if he found out now, it would be a bit of a shock to him. So my question is, should I tell my husband I like pussy or leave it? COUSIN’S HUSBAND SAYS HE HAS FEELINGS FOR MEMy cousin “Shelly” and her husband “Dean” have been together for 14 years and have 3 kids. Recently, they’ve joked about separation and divorce. My husband and I also have kids and often catch up with them. Over the past few weeks, Dean started messaging me, saying Shelly didn’t want him to talk to me but he needed to tell me something in person. I ignored him at first, thinking it was strange, but he kept insisting. I assumed he’d found out something about my husband as our relationship has also been very rocky. Today, when we caught up, Dean told me he and Shelly were essentially separated but staying together for the kids. He said he’d been unhappy for years but felt happy and comfortable around me, repeatedly complimenting me and saying he likes being around me. It was clear he has feelings for me, so I tried to shut it down, reminding him that he and Shelly have been through a lot and we are family. Should I tell Shelly what happened? I don’t want her to think I’m betraying her or have ill intentions. I feel blindsided and thrown into their drama. Our family can be intense, and if this gets out, it’ll likely cause a huge mess. I don’t want to hurt my cousin. MY FRIEND’S BOYFRIEND FOLLOWS PROBLEMATIC ACCOUNTSMy really good friend has this boyfriend who I have been a bit wary about because of some of his political views. He follows some far right, almost conspiracy level accounts that are hectically pro trump, and other dangerous men like Ben Shapiro etc. He also follows a LOT of onlyfans girl’s accounts. Here's where it also gets a little complex- my friend is Asian and has joked about perhaps her (white) boyfriend being with her only because she is Asian and wondering if he has "yellow fever" (a derogatory term for men who like to date Asian women because of the kink of submissive behaviour). All of the women were Asian creators on his follow list. My friend doesn't have instagram so she won’t check to see who he is following. Should I tell her about his instagram account or just stay out of it?

S5 Ep 11Communication Is Key, But How Do We Do It? Uncut with Charles Duhigg
We’ve said it a hundred times; communication is everything. But we aren’t really ever taught how to actually communicate. What makes someone a good communicator? And why is it so important? People aren’t just born good communicators and it’s something that we can all improve our skills on. Joining the podcast today is Pulitzer prize winning reporter and author Charles Duhigg. Charles’ most recent book titled ‘supercommunicators’ investigated the simple and tested methods for communicating and connecting with anyone. Charles went deep on what exactly makes someone THE person that everyone wants to have conversations with; whether it be in your romantic relationship, at work, with friends and even with strangers. We speak about: How having ‘different types’ conversations with partners is likely why you feel misunderstood or not listened to Becoming ‘neurally entrained’ and using the ‘matching principle’ to be a good communicator How to ask the right questions The communication of conflict and how to avoid it - ‘when you’re feeling furious, get curious.’ Can you ‘learn’ to use communication in a manipulative way EQ, unlike EQ is learned, not born with The difference between true vulnerability and fake vulnerability You can find more from Charles at his website You can follow Charles’ InstagramHis book “supercommunicators - How to unlock the secret language of connection’ is available in hardcopy and audiobook on audible and spotify.

S5 Ep 10Are Celebrities 'Renting a Womb'? And Britt's Twinkle Toes Announcement
Hey Lifers! Lola turned 4 and Matt would apparently prefer a mango than... intimate time with Laura. Mangoes are particularly juicy at this time of the year though.Britt has been very busy for the last few weeks working on a secret project that she can finally reveal! We speak about how Ben felt when he first found out, why the show has such a spicy reputation overseas and how she's been going with her partner! Are celebrities 'renting' wombs?Surrogacy is nothing new to the celebrity world but the response to Lily Collin's baby arrival was quite unusual. Comments like: "Surrogacy becoming a trend between celebrities is one of the finest expressions of capitalism," and "You are so rich that you think you can use a woman as an incubator and you can purchase a baby." We unpack whether we feel differently about surrogacy if a surrogate is commissioned for non medical reasons. In a world where women are told they can 'have it all and be it all,' do we have a problem when a woman outsources her pregnancy?

S5 Ep 9Ask Uncut - Make A U Turn You Bad Girl
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deepest dilemmas!Last week we learned that Laura was in her mid twenties when she realised how chickens procreated. It turns out, she was absolutely not alone! Which voice do you like your robots to have? Are you into the simple factory setting Siri or would you prefer a bit of hot guy ASMR? Vibes for the week:Laura - The Six Triple Eight film on NetflixBritt - The Telepathy Tapes PodcastKeeshia - The Traitors US on 10Play Then we jump into your questions! USED CONDOMI was with my ex for almost 3 years when we had a baby. The baby was 1 and things in our relationship went downhill. We called it off due to my partner needing space. 3 weeks after breaking up we had a chat and agreed that we would see each other again and not see anyone else. I have now found a used condom in the bin. Some background context; he got asked to be a sperm donor by a friend and has said that he masturbated into the condom to save it. Am I wrong in not believing why the condom was used? FAST MOVING RELATIONSHIP AND THEFTI have been seeing a guy for about 6 months. It’s one of those romances that moves quite fast and feels so perfect. I have not had many adult relationships, never felt this loved so it’s all full steam ahead. I’ve had a few comments from friends and family about the speed we are moving but that’s probably expected. We are currently applying for houses so we can live together. He has kids from past relationships that he has a lot of the time. I love kids so no problem here.My question is I have just found out that he has some legal proceedings coming up this year. He used someone else’s bank details to purchase items for himself, so effectively stealing/fraud but he stands by that he was told he could spend the money on himself even though he thought it seemed a bit odd at the time. He will be pleading guilty as his lawyer advised this will be the best outcome for him. I am so conflicted as I have never felt this loved by someone and felt like I was really finally getting my fairy tale ending after watching everyone else get theirs. Is it a bad idea to stand by and support him while he goes through this knowing he has stolen from someone? I can’t even fathom having to try and find someone else at this point as I really want kids of my own in the next few years and it took me 10 years to find someone. WE ELOPED AND MY PARENTS ARE ANGRYMy husband and I recently eloped overseas. We made the decision to keep it a surprise and tell everyone at the same time with individual messages to our immediate families and social media informing all other family and friends. Everyone so far has been extremely happy for us and shared that excitement, mainly my husband's family. My parents however have not contacted me since we told them over 2 weeks ago, absolute radio silence. I preempted this reaction from my mum seeing as my MIL was actually on the holiday with us and was able to be at the elopement. I knew this would upset her, however I still hoped she could put aside her personal hurt to still be happy for us. I am angry at my parents for their lack of interest in such a pivotal point in my life and am adamant that I am not the one who needs to reach out at this time. Am I right to leave the ball in their court to reach out? Every day that goes by seriously affects how our relationship looks in the future. Please note my mum is often a selfish person who is always the victim. My dad hurts more though as he appears to have sided with mum in not messaging me even personally. DEALING WITH MY MILMy MIL plays a minimal role in our daughter's life, but recently we have asked her to mind our little one for an hour each week. When the MIL comes over, she is always calling me a ‘mean mum’ to my daughter. For example, we were heading off for a big swim in the river, the furthest I would have ever swam and I had made myself some food which was different to my daughter’s dinner as I have lots of food allergies. Of course my daughter wanted some of mine, but I was trying to encourage her to eat her own food. My mother in law then called me a ‘mean mum’ over and over again. Our daughter is 18 months and will probably begin to understand the animosity here soon. I always play nice and laugh it off. She NEVER does this when my husband is around, so when I tell him about it, as much as he believes me, it makes it tricky to bring up. I have tried saying things like, ‘Hey, that’s not very fair or kind’, but she continues. Any further suggestions? My family lives 4 hours away and I really need that 1 hour break so I can go exercise with my husband and we have time together. Our second baby is on the way and I can’t afford to damage the relationship further.

S5 Ep 7Laughing Through Grief with Toni Lodge
Toni Lodge is a comedian, the author of ‘I don’t need therapy’ (and other lies I’ve told) and half of the Toni and Ryan podcast! The perfect way to sum up today’s episode is ‘dark humour’. Toni is truly one of the funniest people we’ve ever met and she shares two of the most ‘vulnerable’ accidentally unfiltered stories we’ve ever heard.We speak about Toni’s rise to being one of the most popular podcasters in the country after being told that she wasn’t quite the right fit for the microphone when she was in radio. We speak about the different ways that people reach success in media these days and not having to check the same boxes that people used to. We take a bit of a behind the scenes tour into how podcasting actually works, how it’s monetised, who owns what etc. We speak about: The dynamics of relationships when you work with one of your closest friends Choosing to be child free and finding peace with that decision Grief can look different to what we expect it to Feeling like it was really hard to casually speak about her mum after she passed away Toni wants people to stop saying “sorry” when someone passes away Achieving things after losing a parent and wanting to be able to tell them Handling grief and sad things in general with humour creates a split crowd Writing down your non negotiables - 5 things that you will not leave this life without achieving You can find more from Toni on her Instagram and her podcast You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Matt has done a 'tucker trial' in the jungle and Britt is revisiting her worst memories of the jungle that include spitting a half chewed pig's nipple at Robert Irwin's shoe...Vote to save Matt here!MAFS is back and we unpack the over production and whether you'd give someone a second chance! It brought up some questions about whether people can actually change, whether timing is a factor or whether some people are just manipulative and reality TV literate. We've realised that after so much self development over the course of this podcast, we've still got some lessons to learn. Have you ever heard of something called 'cash for comment'? It's a bit of an industry phrase that we all have to abide by but today we're questioning whether this particular example was worth 'cracking' down on. We discuss some other examples of when it’s happened but there haven’t been repercussions for other media personalities, and whether those situations were actually more shady and manipulative.

S5 Ep 5Ask Uncut - The Return Of The Huntsmans
Hey Lifers! Laura's past is coming back to haunt Britt and this time it's in the form of 8 legged creatures!

Britt: Nektech MassagerKeeshia: Diddy: the Making of a Bad Boy on BingeLaura: An Update On Our Family Docuseries on Binge Then we jump into your questions! MY TWO HOUSEMATES ARE SLEEPING TOGETHERWe recently found out that two of my housemates are sleeping together and I can’t help but be a little pissed off at them. The guy recently had a messy breakup in the first week of our lease where his partner (one of my best friends) had to move out. The house is only just recovering from this. The girl he is sleeping with (our other housemate) has lived with us for two and half months so she was also living with the guy's ex. I’m finding it hard to be nice to them around the house but have been told by my partner for the sake of the house to be pleasant.What should I do? FINGER UP THE BUMThis was a hot topic out for dinner with my girlfriends…. if you man sticks his finger up your butt during foreplay/sex what does it mean? Is it for your pleasure? Because he wants the same in return or could it be that he wants to try anal? Or is it just a simple finger in the butt that shouldn’t be questioned? ROOMMATES CATS DAMAGING PROPERTYI live in a shared house with two other girls. One of the girls has adopted two cats that now live with us. The cats are damaging property in the house that belongs to me like countless houseplants and scratching/making pulls in the couch. Am I within my right to ask for financial reimbursement for damages to my property or asking her to replace these items? She doesn’t apologise for the damage or destruction/death of plants and instead blames me. How should I approach this and is it fair to ask for financial reimbursement? BOYFRIEND DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT EXESIs it ok For your boyfriend of 3 years to not want to talk about his exes ? I feel like for me it’s not a big deal. Your past is your past, which is something you should be able to share with the love of your life: It’s part of who you are and why and how you’ve grown? Why should it matter if you have moved on? Why can’t or doesn’t he want to talk about it? He is 32 and I’m 28? Any suggestions or thoughts? We spoke about the episode with Haven Shepherd that you can watch here!

New Year, New You is a bit outdated, but in January many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives—whether it’s forming healthier habits, becoming more focused, or simply feeling happier. But how often do we think about how our brain chemistry plays into all this? Today, we’re joined by neuroscientist, international speaker, and author of The DOSE Effect, TJ Power. His work focuses on small, practical habits that can help us regulate our brain's key chemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Today we chat about: How the modern world affects our brain chemistry. Quick fix and crash dopamine - porn, sugar, social media, alcohol. Why we hate being bored and why boredom is good for us. The new 5 minute morning routine that will change the rest of your day. How different types of communication affects oxytocin - texting = 0, calling = some.

Some were innocent, others were a lot more on the nose. Are we surprised that creators lie in order to go viral? Not at all. But is it questionable when they've financially profited off the back of deceiving people? We speak about Trump's inauguration and how Melania's outfit choice sums up the mood.

S5 Ep 1Ask Uncut - WE'RE BACK! Plant Gate Has Entered The Chat
Hey Lifers! WELCOME BACK! We missed you so much! We're kicking off 2025 with our new schedule so Ask Uncut will now be dropping on a Monday morning (Aus time).Britt's year did not get off to the best start and Keeshia is in the naughty (plant) corner. Vibes for the week: Keeshia: Jerry Springer. Fights, Camera, Action on Netflix Laura: Mudbound film on NetflixBritt: I'm Not a Monster - The Shamima Begum Story Then we jump into your questions! NEW BF JUST HAD A BABY WITH PREVIOUS ONE NIGHT STANDI have been seeing a guy for the past 8 months. One of his previous one night stands reached out to him a few months into dating and said that she was pregnant. We decided to continue seeing each other and it was going fairly well. The baby was born a few weeks ago and I am struggling to be positive and supportive. Do you think that it would be best to let a new father sort out his relationship with his baby and baby mum before we focus on a relationship? Or could it happen simultaneously? I THINK I SLEPT WITH MY NEW HINGE MATCH’S BROTHERI have matched with someone on hinge and in my pre-stalking I’ve realised I actually have slept with his younger brother about 8 years ago....do you think it’s a big deal? They are a close family so don’t know whether to just stop talking to him now or keep pursuing and hope he doesn’t care when it comes up eventually? I THINK I HATE MY PARTNER’S CATI’ve been with my partner for 2 years now. We live together and I know he’s my penguin. However there is just one problem. His cat. Don’t get me wrong I am the BIGGEST animal lover, and I would like to think of myself as quite a patient person, but I have tried for our entire relationship to bond with this cat and while there have been some moments, the majority of it has felt transactional and filled with a lack of unconditional love that you’d get from a dog - which I’ve grown up with. He also constantly meows and often when I try to show love he scratches and bites. It’s actually at the point where I become anxious from the constant meowing. It’s eating well so that’s not the issue, and the cat is 3 years old and well trained. My partner absolutely adores this cat and it’s recently become apparent to him that I don’t quite feel the same. However I am at the point where I actually cannot stand it. Idk what to do? Pls help! FRIEND HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT SOMETHING – IS THIS A BIG DEAL?My best friend of 5 years has just told me that ever since we’ve been friends she’s been lying and that her ‘younger brother’ is actually not her brother. She told me he was her biological brother, he has the same mum but he didn’t speak with their mum and lives with his dad and step mum. This whole time she has referred to him as her brother and even when I have asked about their mum she would say something along the lines of “he prefers to be with his step mum”. She said she told me when she was drunk and just kept the lie going but it got too far to say anything so she never did. He is now apparently just ‘like a brother’. She said now that she is about to get married she doesn’t want me to question it at the wedding and thought it was time to fess up. I don’t know how to feel. It doesn’t feel that deep but at the same time, I’ve been lied to by my best friend for 5 years so it feels quite icky and a bit weird. So my question is, should I be mad/upset about this or is it not that deep? In the past I feel like she does tend to lie a bit as I have caught her out before about something else.

S4 Ep 176Matt Has A Very Big Announcement!!! Ask Uncut with Matty J and Laura
Hey Lifers!Today's ep is with our favourite mum and dad. We start this ep by bickering about driving and scraped rims... as every married couple would. Matt has a particularly exciting announcement for us and Laura was not initially happy about it! They speak about their future plans and whether they're both on board to have a 3rd kid. Then they jump into some questions for them and some ask uncut questions! Is Laura the breadwinner? If so, how does Matt feel about that? How early on in the bach season did Matt know that he was going to choose Laura? Are you friends with any of your exes? Navigating friendships if you become a parent Knowing what you know now as a parent, would you go back and change anything? Do you think that one person loves the other a bit more in a relationship? Have any of you had botox? How do they feel about the paparazzi Ask Uncut questions: I AM PREGNANT AFTER A ONE NIGHT STAND. SHOULD I TELL HIM?I had unprotected sex after a wedding with another guest and have since found out that I’m pregnant. Whilst the guy is lovely, it’s not a long term match given locations and jobs so I plan on terminating. Would you want to know? Should I tell him? And if so what is the best way to do so? DWINDLING SEX DRIVE - AM I THE PROBLEM?My husband and I have been together for 8 years (married for the last 3). We don’t have kids but have been through some major life obstacles in the last few years both to do with our careers as doctors and a change in work life balance. We are balancing working long days, having opposing days off and having to study outside of work for exams etc to advance in our careers. Our sex life has suffered and now it feels like more of a chore these days. On the rare occasion we do get intimate,I have found that I am disinterested in the act all together including doing anything sexual on my own. This is not the first time in a relationship that sex has dwindled for me over time and I’m starting to wonder if I even have the capability to sustain sexual lust in a long term relationship in general. Is this possible or is what I am experiencing common or am I the problem?

S4 Ep 174Summer Ask Uncut with Britt and Ben!
Hey Lifers! Today’s special ask uncut comes from our favourite fiances Britt and Ben! First up, they answer a few questions about how it’s been seeing each other again, wedding plans, kids in the future etc! Then they jump into your questions! MY HUSBAND DOESN’T APPRECIATE MY COOKINGMy husband & I have a 6 month old baby. I’m a stay at home mum and he works full time. I make dinner every night which is always hard cooking with a baby as my husband doesn’t get home until 6.30 when we’re about to eat. Last night I made dinner like usual and in conversation I said do you like it? He responded ‘ahh it’s alright’ but said it in a way that he wasn’t impressed. This offended me as I put a lot of effort in, while juggling our baby. I would’ve been happy with just toast for dinner but I put in the effort just for him. He thinks it’s ok to be honest and that he thought the dinner was just ok. My question is.. if someone makes you something such as dinner.. is it ok to be honest and say you didn’t really like it? Or be appreciative that someone put in the effort and just say it was good! I asked him if he was at our friends house would he say something they made was just ok? He said no but because this is his home he thinks it’s ok to be honest MY FRIEND HASN’T TOLD HER NEW BOYFRIEND THAT SHE CHEATED ON HER EXShould my friend tell her new boyfriend the reason that her and her ex husband split was because she cheated? They’ve been together 6 months and she still hasn’t told him and is doubting she will but I think she’s crazy because he will eventually find out (shit gets around) and I think he will be pissed off that she wasn’t honest with him. I’VE FALLEN FOR HIM BUT HE SAID HE SEES ME LIKE A SISTERI have known this guy for 5 years + and he's been there through breakups, graduation, my mum’s cancer and as of recent my mum’s passing/ funeral! My mum loved him and he promised her he would protect me. He's always so active in my life and helping everywhere possible - since all this has happened I now think I'm falling for him but he says he sees me as nothing but a sister. He's 30, l'm 24. Am I just wasting my time or is there something I can do? Also Brit how do I get rid of the feeling as I feel the guy should always pursue you, not the other way around? I KISSED ANOTHER GUY. DO I TELL MY LONG DISTANCE BOYFRIEND?I’ve been with my partner for about 3 years, like Britt and Ben we are long distance with him living overseas. We have a great relationship but I haven't seen him for 3-4 months. I made a huge mistake and kissed someone recently on a night out. It meant nothing and I immediately regretted it and felt so guilty. I know it will never happen again. I worry if I tell him it will ruin everything and he may break up with me. Knowing I will never do it again and it was a mistake, do I tell him or can I just keep it to myself and pretend it didn't happen? SHOULD I COMMIT TO HIM WHEN HE’S 8 YEARS YOUNGER?So I have been seeing this guy off and on for a year and last night he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I’ve been searching for love for years now so this should have made me the happiest girl ever. He’s very into me and has told me and shown me as such. The thing is, he’s 8 years younger than me. I’ve reached an age where I hope my next partner is my last (I want to have kids and time is ticking). I like him and we get along great and have similar goals and values but I guess my question is, how do you know?

S4 Ep 172Ask Uncut - Christmas Parties, G Strings and the Mental Load of Hosting Christmas
Hey lifers!We are coming to you cross continental! Britt is in Romania and has met her brand new niece! We get some updates on how her reunion has been and whether meeting her dream, unicorn niece has shifted the needle on her decision around having a baby herself. Laura confesses to rage baiting us all and she's high on the power. Will her house end up looking like Dr Seuss? Most likely! Vibes for the week: Laura: All in the mind. The design tricks brands use to get you to buyKeeshia: Search Engine - What if ayahuasca made you stop podcasting?Britt: Just Married. The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery Then we jump into your questions! HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME WEARING G STRINGSBeen together 12 years (since I was 17), married with 3 young kids. When I was younger, I never wore g-strings and thought they were uncomfortable. Fast forward to my late 20s, and in the past year I've started wearing them to the gym for comfort and more of a seamless style. My husband does not like this. He thinks I'm disrespecting his boundaries and that I'm not being a good wife because I'm 'parading' myself by wearing that kind of underwear with shorts/leggings running or to gym, while he is working hard to provide for our family. I think the request to control the type of underwear I wear is over the top, and it was a decision I made for my own comfort and not to parade to others. I don't want to disrespect him or his boundaries though. What should I do? SHOULD I BE OFFENDED THAT I WASN’T ASKED TO GO TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY?My partner works in a professional job and is employed by the government. I’ve met only a few of his colleagues. For their work Christmas party, they were just going out for dinner to a restaurant that is about an hour away from where we actually live (it’s 20 minutes from their workplace). He initially said that he wasn’t sure if he was going to go but his colleague had said that he should. I asked if partners were also invited and his response was ‘yes’. I was a bit taken back because he did not ask me if I wanted to go. When I mentioned this he responded “well you wouldn’t want to go to that surely?” It’s true; it’s not my idea of a good time but I’m feeling upset that I wasn’t actually asked. Is it normal to not ask your partner to go to a Christmas party when there is the option for partners to be included? HUSBAND ISN'T HELPING WITH HOSTING CHRISTMAS FUNCTION Each year, my cousin, her husband and my husband do Christmas dinner. We plan it in January as December is hectic and we plant it a year out. This year my husband and I are hosting. The problem is that my husband has just been invited to a work mate’s bucks party and it falls on the same day as our Christmas tradition night. He has said yes to going to the bucks for bottomless lunch, but here I am having to clean, prepare the food, decorate and get everything sorted all on my own. On top of this, the day before is my husband’s work Christmas function. So I’m fully on my own riding this beast. I’m annoyed that I’ve been lumped with all of the responsibilities. What can I actually do about this? Do I just ‘suck it up’ and try to not allow the dates for next time to clash so much or do I cancel our Christmas dinner?

S4 Ep 171Figuring Out Our 30s! Uncut with Bridget Hustwaite
We’re all aware of the societal pressures and expectations put on us to have achieved certain things by the time we reach certain ages, but what about the questions we ask ourselves when a new decade looms? Whether you have or haven’t ticked off the traditional expectations of buying a house, getting married and starting a family, it seems as though we are all collectively asking ourselves more questions about who we are and what we want to be as we reach our 30s. Joining the podcast today is Bridget Hustwaite. Bridget is a presenter, an author, a podcaster and a content creator. Going into 30, Bridget looked as though she had it all figured out: she was well established in her career, she was in a 5 year long relationship with aspirations to settle down, she was financially independent and had found purpose in her advocacy for endometriosis. And then shit hit the fan and the expectations of what Bridget thought her future would look like crumbled. Bridget has a brand new book coming out called “figuring out 30” and chats with us about all of the unexpected lessons we learn when we question who we really are and what we are led to believe we ‘should’ want. We speak about: The strange internal feelings we can get around milestones Going through a significant break up just before reaching 30 We all fear ‘starting over’. Is this the best it’s going to get? Family dynamics and estrangement and how it shaped her understanding of herself The way people react when they find out that you aren’t in contact with your own family members vs how common it actually is Maternal desire. Figuring out the kid equation in your 30s How Bridget’s endometriosis affects fertility Can you be a feminist and support marriage? What modern marriage means What it’s like reentering the dating world in your 30s You can find more from Bridget Hustwaite on instagram You can pre order Bridget’s new book “Figuring Out 30” here!!

S4 Ep 170Some Big Changes Are Coming Next Year! And Unpacking "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day".
Hey Lifers! It's Laura and Keeshia today for the last Tuesday episode of the year (or maybe ever...)!Britt is over in Romania visiting Ben but she'll be back on Thursday for Ask Uncut. Christmas is really freaking soon and Laura is banking on the local RSL meat raffle to make up for her disorganised state! Laura and the family had a blast at the carols and met her new girl crush Emma Memma. If you’re an iPhone person, do you stick to even or odd numbered iPhones or are you just updating it whenever you feel you need? We have some big changes coming to next year! We speak through the results of our last survey and how we are mixing things up next year! There's a documentary that is going viral on youtube at the moment titled "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day". It follows Onlyfans star Lily Phillips and the aftermath of Lily's challenge where she is quite distraught after completing the challenge. We speak about the complexity of these types of conversations when so much has been done to shift the narrative of sex work and highlight how platforms like onlyfans can be empowering, when the reality of this situation blurs those lines. We ask: Why is it that this documentary made us feel uncomfortable? Whether the stunts continue to become more and more outrageous to keep attention and subscribers? If the concern for her wellbeing is faux care/ shame dressed up in a different costume?

S4 Ep 168Ask Uncut - Racoons or Architects, Boy's Trips, Cutting Ties & Empty Wishing Wells
Hey lifers!Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your life dilemmas! Are you the partner who packs the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect or a racoon on meth? The dishwasher is causing some problems in households but maybe we are a bit guilty of weaponised incompetence too!Britt is heading over to Romania tonight and Laura is hosting the Christmas Carols in Surfer's Paradise this weekend! Carols details here Vibes for the week:Britt Storyworth book Keeshia Netflix Our Little Secret Laura Netflix Killer Sally and Jumbled diaries Then we get into your questions! HUSBAND GOES ON LOTS OF BOYS TRIPS AND I'M RESENTFULMy husband is part of a boys punting club where they put in $20 every week and then use the pool of money to go on an annual boys weekend away. He also has an annual interstate golf trip with a different group of dads. Both these trips are expensive and mean that I am left home with our 3 kids under 4. Am I right to feel resentful that he has these boys trips or are my expectations too high that he should give them up during this stage of life? All my friends are mums to young kids/babies so it’s a lot harder to organise a girls trip and I’d feel guilty to leave the kids for a few nights. Also I would rather spend the time and money on a family holiday or a trip with my husband. My dad never had boys trips, is this just the new normal for our generation? PARTNER COMPLAINS ABOUT MY TOILET SKIDDIESBit of a gross one but I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here my partner constantly complains that I leave skid marks in the toilet. I’m not going out of my way to leave them there but we have a VERY clingy one year old so going to the toilet in itself is a bit of a challenge at the moment, let alone scrubbing the toilet when I’m done. My partner gets genuinely upset about it and has even gone so far as to call me 'an animal' because of it. Again, I’m not going out of my way to do this and when he brings it up (it comes up a lot), my response is, “it’s a fucking toilet”. Like that’s where the shit is meant to go, right?! Is it really that bad if I leave the odd skid mark on the toilet bowl? BROKEN UP BUT CAN’T CUT TIES AND STILL HANGING OUTMy partner and I split up 3 weeks ago. We dated for 5 1/2 years and had a house, a dog and a cat. It was a mutual breakup and it really came down to wanting different things and a lack of communication. Closer to the end we got quite distant which helped me come to terms with making the decision. After we broke up we started spending time together and talking through things and like we’re dating again. We know we have to cut ties but we’re just enjoying each others company. What do I do? How do I just leave? I’ve moved back with my parents but I’m spending a lot of time at his house now (my old house) I just can’t break ties and he isn’t the one to call it. NO CARD IN WISHING WELL. CAN I BRING THIS UP?We got married about a month ago. Like most weddings we had a wishing well for cards and well wishes. After opening all the cards we noticed there was no card from a couple that attended the wedding (reception and ceremony). Whilst we do not expect a monetary gift we’re a bit taken aback by there not even being a card. It seems somewhat out of character for the couple so we’re wondering if had somehow gone missing. Is there any polite way of bringing this up with the couple or do we just leave it to avoid any awkwardness? I just can not fathom ever attending a wedding and not bringing a card let alone gift.

There’s so much curiosity around how relationships that don’t follow the traditional dynamics work and often a fear of the unknown or the unfamiliar. We spoke about: How other people in their life reacted to their relationship after they had kept it a secret for a year How their relationship is often over sexualised and viewed as a ‘kink’ How Megan adjusted to coming into an established relationship Navigating insecurities, communication, inside jokes and conflict Their unusual sleeping arrangement Finding out that some of their friends and family had been in polyamorous relationships in secret for a long time!

S4 Ep 164Ask Uncut - Christmas Gifts, Photo Albums of Exes and Shared Middle Names
Hey Lifers,Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions with our best but technically unqualified advice. Britt is nudging for an honorary doctorate! Laura can have orgasms in her sleep. We're aware that this is likely a unicorn and very fortunate skill but have you ever had one in your sleep? Britt has an unfortunate injury and somehow zooper doopers have entered the chat. Vibes for the week:Keeshia The Later Daters on NetflixBritt Meet Cutes NYC InstagramLaura Pink Santa by Tanya Hennessy Then we jump into your questions! BUY XMAS GIFT FOR NEW BOYFRIEND OR TOO SOON?I’ve been dating this guy for about 9 weeks now, it’s going great, amazing communication, sex etc etc. From the get go we’ve been straight about not dating anyone else, pausing the apps etc. With Christmas coming up, I’m wondering do you think it would be too full on to get him a small gift? It will have been ~3 months of dating by then, he’s really easy to buy for and I know what I’d get him but also am aware of him being spooked in the past when he hasn’t felt 100% sure. He’s said numerous times how much he’s enjoying this and wanting to continue seeing me and see where things go. I’m worried if I get him a Christmas gift he might freak out? I don’t expect one in return but have seen a few small things I know he’d love. Too much too soon? Or okay? IS IT NORMAL FOR BF TO SAY HE WOULD SLEEP WITH FRIENDS IF SINGLE?My boyfriend has been talking to a girl who he met online. He said she is only a friend but he would sleep with her if he was single. He tried to justify this by saying he would sleep with any of his friends if he was single and they wanted to as it is just sex. He said that all men think like this. My question is… is this true that all men think like this and he is just being honest, or is it a strange comment? KEEPING PHOTO ALBUM OF EXMy fiancé recently got some of his old belongings from his parent’s home as they’re currently going through a move. In the items was a photo album of him and his long term ex who we happen to have had issues over in the past. I found the photo album hidden in a wardrobe after he told me “yuck, they can go in the bin”. My question is, do you think keeping photos of an ex is a red flag and why do you think he’d want to keep them? SIBLING WANTS TO USE SAME MIDDLE NAME AS MY KID So I had my baby in May and he’s the first grandchild of the family. His middle name is my dad’s first name. My brother‘s wife is having a baby in January and he told me he wants to give their baby the same middle name - after my dad. Thoughts?

S4 Ep 163PART 2 - The Truth About Addiction Uncut with Johann Hari
What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's personal journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times. Johann Hari is a best selling author of many books like Chasing the Scream, the War on Drugs, Lost Connections, Stolen Focus, and Magic Pill - The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of new weight loss drugs.”We previously released an episode with Kate DeAraugo about her personal experiences with addiction and today we wanted to look at addiction a bit more broadly and unpack how it comes about and why so many of our loved ones are battling with addiction or substance abuse issues. We spoke about: The difficult narrative of loving an addict and not knowing what to do to help The story of what causes addiction isn’t accurate Why blaming it all on biology isn’t helpful, nor is blaming it all on personal choices Policies based on shame and punishment make addiction worse How much control we actually have over our own willpower People with ‘addictive’ personalities The money-happiness trap; the hedonic effect You can find all of Johann’s books and further information at his website.

S4 Ep 161Ask Uncut - Would You Take Grandma's Urn?
Hey Lifers!Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. There's a woman who found out her partner was cheating on her, so she took the urn that had his grandmother's ashes in it! Is this the ultimate bargaining tool or kind of cruel?We then asked you for some of the funny things you've taken during a break up. Vibes for the week:Keeshia Simple Interval Training app Laura Mco Beauty Instant Contour Cream BronzerBritt Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix Then we jump into your questions! PARENTS GAVE MORE MONEY TO MY SIBLINGA couple of years ago, my sibling got married and my parents gave them a substantial monetary gift for their wedding (I got a 1/3 of the amount for my wedding the year before, but was still so grateful for anything). A few months after their wedding, they wanted to buy a house and were loaned the entire deposit from my parents to pay back. A couple of years on, they have not paid a cent back and my parents haven’t asked for it either. I have received approximately 50k less than them over the past 3 years and now that there’s been no repayments or discussions about this, I’m starting to become bitter. They seem to be living a comfortable life and can certainly afford to do more than my parents can. I’m frustrated at both my sibling and parents but don’t want this to seem like I am only chasing money- I want there to be accountability. How would you handle this with your family members? GETTING FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHILST ENGAGEDI am in a relationship of almost 9 years and we are engaged. He is the most amazing person ever and ticks all the boxes but the sexual attraction and lust has left for me. I’m starting to have feelings for someone else which is controlling a lot of my emotions at the moment and it’s clouding my judgement!! My fiance and I have just bought a house and have a 11 month old puppy. His parents have gone guarantors for our place too. I feel like I’m stuck in a rock and a hard place with which way to go about it. Do I stay with my current fiance because he is the sweetest guy who would do anything for me or follow my head and heart and take a chance on this other person or even just try it out being single for a while? I’m in my late 20s and just scared I might be stuck in the mentality that I have a lot to lose but also might not be in love anymore. HOW TO RECONNECT AFTER HAVING A BABYI am a first time mum, our baby is now 10 months old. I have been really struggling with connecting to my partner in the last 6 months or so. He's a great dad and I love seeing him with our son but it feels like we've just lost the spark. I don't feel special or 'wanted' anymore. It doesn't help that he injured himself pretty badly in July and hasn't been able to carry his weight around the house - this has left me doing all the cooking, cleaning, bath and bed with the baby, etc. We live in a small rural town away from family so I don't have any help around the house as well, which adds another layer of stress. Months ago Laura mentioned something about just 'getting through those early years' when you have a baby in terms of staying with your partner. She said it gets a lot better once babies grow up a bit. I would love to hear more about this and I suppose my question is, how can I try to reconnect with my partner You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S4 Ep 160The Truth About Addiction. Uncut with Kate DeAraugo
We initially got to know Kate DeAraugo in 2005 when she won the crown of Australian Idol! She was just 18 years old. But her post Idol journey was anything but a fairytale; it spiralled into addiction and legal troubles. In 2017, Kate was convicted of drug possession, drug driving and weapons possession. This conversation with Kate is a deeply honest recount of what it can be like when you live with addiction. Kate has what a lot of us would describe as an addictive personality, someone who took everything to the extreme. She says that when she drank, she drank too much. When she ate, she ate too much. When she loved, she loved too much. These behaviours took Kate to some fairly dark places. Kate shares: After winning Idol, the only thing anyone spoke about was her body Record labels saying she needed to lose weight and having full body liposuction at age 19 The narrative of addicts being from ‘broken homes’ isn’t realistic What led her to seeking out drugs in the first place and how that spiralled into more heavy substance abuse The toll it took on her family How families can help support an addict & what her family learnt that ‘worked’ How addicts think and what happens inside their minds Addiction is a lifelong condition, but sobriety is a responsibility You can find more from Kate at her website You can listen to Kate’s podcast Why Do I Feel This Way Laura mentioned a famous study about addiction that you can watch in Johann Hari’s Ted talk here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S4 Ep 159Are You 'Sledging' Your Partner? The Paradox of Choice and Laura Questioning Her Lifestyle Habits
Hey Lifers! We had the Australian podcast awards but the real take away in the media is how unhinged Laura is and that she (and I quote) "leaves fans questioning her lifestyle habits". Britt is having a bit of a mid wedding planning crisis. Actually a big mid wedding crisis.If you've planned a wedding, did you chop and change your mind on things like your dress in the lead up to your wedding? We discuss the paradox of choice and decision fatigue. It's sledging season! A new term for how people are strung along over the Christmas/New Years period, delaying a break-up or continuing dating someone they know they're not interested in. We chat about when "is" the right time to end a relationship around this time and the reasons why so many couples break up around this time of the year.New Year, New Relationship!

S4 Ep 157Ask Uncut - Sleeping With Strangers, Birthday Gifts & Giving An Ex Another Go
Hey Lifers!Laura has had to go on a 'fishing' expedition in the grossest of places all thanks to Lola! Has your kid ever 'dropped' something valuable in a place that they shouldn't have?Britt tried to replace the shrine but failed epically and has had to employ a man who woke up in our friend's bed to fix the problem! Vibes for the week:Britt - Picking up a new hobby. BasketballLaura - India Oxenberg's book 'Still Learning'Keeshia - By Maay Brooklyn work bag Then we get into your questions! DO I START SLEEPING WITH STRANGERS OR JUST HAVE NO SEX LIFE THANKS TO MY PARTNER?My partner and I have been together for 15 years. We have a 7 year old child who we love. But our sex life is 0. We talked a few months ago about opening our relationship. We both agreed and didn't have many rules. A few weeks later, I slept with an old friend. My partner was unhappy to say the least. Since then he convinced me to let him keep sleeping around but I can only see people I don't know. Now my question is... I'm not comfortable with people I don't know. Sex to me is intimate and needs friendship. Do I start sleeping with strangers or just have no sex for the rest of my life? MY HUSBAND GAVE ME MONEY AS A BDAY PRESENT My husband recently gave me $400 in cash for my birthday present. For context, we have a joint account and each has a personal account and we get paid equal amounts in our personal accounts every week. We keep a money tin at home where we keep a bit of cash to the side to spend on joint expenses. The $400 birthday money came from our shared tin. At the time I was super grateful and thankful for the cash gift. He also took me out to dinner and paid for that with his personal money which was part of the gift. He said the money is to go towards getting a necklace made that I’ve been wanting for a long time. We aren’t huge on gift giving but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that he didn’t put any time into thinking about a nice present for me that wasn’t just grabbing money out of the tin and putting it in a card. He did cook me breakfast and show me love in other ways on my birthday but I wish he put some thought into a gift for me. We do live very busy lives and are both self employed and work together so I don’t want to be too hard on him as life has been pretty hectic for both of us lately. How would you bring this up, if even at all? Or do I just move on and stop even thinking about it? Maybe I’m just being completely unreasonable. DO I GIVE HIM ANOTHER GO AFTER HE DUMPED ME FOR ANOTHER GIRL?My partner & I were together for 2 years, lived together, were speaking of marriage & kids within the coming year. 8 months ago, something happened randomly and my partner started pulling away. He was so checked out. He said he wanted to go to Bali with a mate and when he returned home he dumped me 2 days later. Little did I know he found a new girlfriend over in Bali, made it official & hard launched their relationship on Instagram 2 weeks later. I was beyond heart broken. I moved back in with my parents & it was the worst time of my life. Fast forward 8 months, he’s called things off with the new girl & has said he can’t move on from me. He said that he’s realised what he’s lost, he has massive issues & is willing to do anything to fix things including couples counselling and deleting his social media in order to gain my trust back… My whole family & friends hate him & I don’t know what to do. Is it worth giving him another go & trust he won’t break my heart again? Or am I risking ending up back at square one and too much damage has been done?

Ever feel as though you’re not quite able to ‘do it all?’ During the past 2 decades, there has been a huge push into the world of ‘hustle culture.’ So many of us feel like we are constant hot messes, rushing around to try and get a million things in our day done. Joining the podcast today is Israa Nasir, New York based psychotherapist and author of the new book “Toxic Productivity.” Israa is here today to help us let go of the belief that our value is defined by how busy and successful we feel. Israa speaks about this as someone who currently has skin in the game, not from a place of hindsight. We are all having to manage this idea of toxic productivity now! We chat: Productivity no longer just applies to work. It’s infiltrated our romantic relationships, friendships, parenting and personal health Productivity guilt; the guilty feeling when we ‘relax’ The need for external validation can look like people pleasing or a workaholic Chaotic state of a dysregulated nervous system becoming familiar e.g. ”I do my best work under pressure.” “I thrive in chaos.” Dynamics that keep us constantly busy, but never satisfied such as; self-worth, shame, social comparison, burnout, and perfectionism Cultivating a healthier perspective on achievement to understand, manage, and shift our intense emotions You can find more from Israa, including her new book at her website You can follow Israa on Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

S4 Ep 155Do You Like Your Labia ... Puffed? Plus The Man Who *Likely Faked His Own Death
Hey Lifers, It's officially Britt's bangiversary! She's tried to dupe Ben into a fancy gift but Ben's aware of her antics.We speak about the advice we got from our grandmothers. Some of it hasn't aged particularly well. We might have found the world's most conflict avoidant man; the man who *likely has faked his own death to ditch his family and go to a woman in Europe. There was a video filmed back in June (two months before Ryan Borgwardt's disappearance). It shows a man on a bike asking if he should go to Uzbekistan to meet a woman, despite being married. After the video went viral, authorities say that the video isn't Ryan. Also, how do you like your labia? We've spoken about symmetry, length and comfort when it comes to labia but labia puffing seems new.We ask: Is our generation more obsessed than ever with labia? Do you think this trend highlights empowerment or unnecessary pressure for perfection?

S4 Ep 153Ask Uncut - My Boyfriend Supports Trump, Seperate Beds and Holding In Farts
Hey Lifers!Britt has had an extremely embarrassing moment at the hairdresser. We would want the ground to swallow us whole.Has your dog ever caused you to be in the most embarrassing moment of your life? Laura is having a bit of trouble getting Lola to give up something that she loves. Lola is in negotiations and Laura is struggling to reach a mutually agreed upon solution!Vibes for the week: Britt: Martha on NetflixLaura: Marigold’s Magic Stars book by Samantha WillsKeeshia: RecipeTin Eats Tonight Cookbook Then we get into your questions! I CAN'T SLEEP WHEN WE ARE IN THE SAME BEDI’ve been with my partner for about four years, he’s 33 and I’m 27. Everything’s great BUT the one thing that I cannot do with him, is sleep in the same bed. This is largely due to his snoring and sleep noises combined with my light sleeping. He would love to share a bed but I seriously just don’t sleep when I’m in the same bed. We always have great sex, have a cuddle at night, but then I’ll go to my room to sleep and then will wake each other up in the morning with a cuddle. It’s been a great arrangement but I get so worked up and worried about ever going away together. I feel like when we do share a room I’m sleep deprived, miserable and resentful. We want to go overseas together soon but again I get worried about future endeavours together because I’m scared I’ll never be able to sleep in the same bed and have a good sleep. Is this a sign that it’s not going to work? Or do we just have to keep making arrangements for separate beds where we can, and I get used to no sleep when the occasions arise that we do need to share a bed? Also just for context, he has undergone nasal surgery to straighten his septum in order to try fix the snoring and I’ve invested in so many different types of ear plugs but nothing has worked. Help please BOYFRIEND SUPPORTS TRUMPI love my boyfriend but I think he supports Trump. After Trump just got elected, he said “well what did he do that was actually so bad the first time?” He thinks the hate against him is a media conspiracy. Can I be in a relationship with someone who feels this way about misogynistic people? HOLDING IN MY GAS AROUND HIMI’ve been seeing this guy for about 3 months now, we’re exclusive and it’s going well. It’s the first time I’m getting serious with someone so the first time I’ve been hanging out with a guy quite a lot over night/all weekend. The issue is I am quite a gassy person… I don’t have any stomach issues. I just tend to need to do a few pop offs after big meals or in the morning, and I also poop quite often too. I have been WAY too nervous to poop around him as I get scared he’s going to go in after me and smell it. I also am holding in ALL my farts. This is causing me serious stomach aches and pain. I’m often recovering from holding them in for 1-2 days after seeing him. Side note- he farts in front of me but I’m way too embarrassed to do it back… You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S4 Ep 151Banning Kids Under 16 From Social Media, Forgetful Anniversaries & Saying Yes To The Dress!
Hey lifers!Laura and Matt both forgot their 2nd wedding anniversary. Do you celebrate each year?Are you the person who remembers 'dates'? We're talking anniversaries, birthdays, 'firsts' etc. How about your partner? What happens if one of you is a date celebrator and the other isn't?Britt has picked her wedding dress and Laura wants to see it! Did you share your wedding dress with your friends before your actual wedding day? The government has announced proposed legislation to be introduced to parliament that would ban kids under 16 from using social media, even if they have parental consent. Initially we thought this was great. But once we scratched the surface we realised that maybe it wasn't as good as it initially appeared.We speak about the pros and cons of implementing age restrictions on social media, whether it's a bit of a performative action, how it would be implemented and if there are alternative ways to protect kids online. Britt got to enjoy Coldplay and Laura got to enjoy Chris Martin walk solo down Bondi beach looking very, very 'cool'!

S4 Ep 149Ask Uncut - He Doesn't Want Me To Use Our Embryos
Hey lifers and welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! First question of the day is who is your 'hear me out' character (which fictional character are you attracted to)? Laura revealed her attraction to Barney the dinosaur by accident the other day and Britt is quite the fan of the ninja turtle Leonardo who would be in their 40s/50s now... Keeshia has a question about tipping etiquette; how do you feel when the tip is automatically applied when it comes to pay and if you don't want to tip, you're expected to select to remove it? Vibes for the week:Laura: The Mailroom coBritt: The Trial of DiddyKeeshia: Christophe Robin Scalp Scrub Then we answer your questions! HE DOESN'T WANT ME TO USE OUR EMBRYOSMy ex husband left me & after 4 years of IVF. We have embryos in storage (we have one beautiful little IVF baby girl) who is my entire world. But I would love to make her a big sister one day too! He has so easily just said let’s donate the spare embryos. I am mortified by how easily he has suggested this and absolutely not interested in donating, I want them! They’re my babies. I walked through the toughest times of my life undergoing IVF and on my 8th transfer, I got my beautiful girl. I’m 33 and I don’t know if I should freeze my eggs and get a donor sperm .. or wait till I ‘might’ meet someone. PSA - I will continue to pay for storage for my embryo babies as I love them too! I also didn’t see our marriage being something that would end but he clearly fell out of love with me & left me 10 months postpartum. CHRISTMAS WITH PARTNER’S FAMILYI have been invited to spend Xmas with my partner's family interstate (we are mid 20s and dated for almost 6 years). My family has been disapproving/disappointed when I told them about not having Xmas at home and tried to guilt trip me out of accepting the invite. However, I really do want to go. How do I approach the topic again with them and is it wrong to spend one Xmas away from your family? THE SEX ISN'T GOOD. HOW DO I NAVIGATE THIS? I've been in a relationship with this guy for 6 months and everything is great. He is a wonderful guy and we share the same sense of humour. He could be my person, however there is one glaring problem. The sex is not good. He's a jack hammer kind of guy where he seems to only be interested in pleasing himself. I have done all of the things that you would normally recommend; we have had the conversations and I have tried to softly guide him to do the things in the way that I like it. The problem is that he does the things I like for about a week and then goes back to the jack hammering. How do I navigate this? How important is having great sex in a relationship?

S4 Ep 148Single Needs A Rebrand. Uncut with Elizabeth Gilbert. Eat, Pray, Love.
Elizabeth Gilbert is one of the most brilliant authors of our time. She authored ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ which sold over 12 million copies and was then turned into a movie starring Julia Roberts. She’s also written books like ‘Committed’, ‘Big Magic’ and ‘City of Girls’. Elizabeth shares so many teachings around vulnerability, connectedness, living a life that is led by love, and now how to become ‘a relaxed woman, pushing back on the expectations of what society wants from you’. Today we spoke about: Being an award winning writer who wrote about men and was sympathetic to the male experience, until she wrote the number 1 ‘chick-lit’ book of our time. Funnily enough, the award nominations dried up. The shared experience of having everything that we are meant to ‘want’ and feeling so deeply unhappy. How Liz used to drain herself by giving her everything to relationships, and how free she now feels being emotionally autonomous The facts about how marriage affects women: married women don’t live as long as single women, they’re more likely to report being depressed and anxious, they are more likely to have autoimmune conditions, more likely to be addicted to substances etc. How all of our lives could be titled ‘not exactly what I had in mind’ The complexity of falling in love with someone knowing it will hurt other people that you care about Learning about loss through grief You can find Liz’s Aus and NZ tour dates You can follow Liz on Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura would love to know how many times your kid accidentally rolled off the bed? We unpack the goss from the Wicked premiere! We were interested in how they would approach the PR of the film given the reputational damage that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater suffered after having a rumoured 'affair.' We wondered whether they would take a 'Don't Worry Darling" approach (Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde) where they kept space from each other in public, or if they would lean in to their romance!There was one line in the movie that we are shocked they kept in!Plus, what would bring you to 'loyalty test' your partner?We speak about the 'how' and the 'why' you may get to a place where you consider conducting a loyalty test.
