Life Uncut

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Big news this week: Britt's husband Ben has flown in for a surprise visit (no return flight booked!) so she's on cloud nine. The girls also dive into their Traders Australia obsession before getting stuck into your questions. Vibes of the week:Laura - The Traitors Australia (Channel 10 / 10 Play)  Britt - Life Changing - The Jesy Nelson Story on Amazon Prime Then it's into your questions! Q1. MY BOYFRIEND HAS A BROTHEL IN HIS PAST My boyfriend has been to a brothel in the past, and it makes me think differently of him. I have been with my partner for about a month officially, and we were seeing each other for a couple of months before that. The other night we were laying in bed when his friend made a joke that he was going to the brothel again. I asked, 'Have you ever been to a brothel?' thinking the answer would definitely be no. It turns out he went to a brothel two years ago and paid for sex when he was single. He says he regrets it significantly and would never do it again. I feel disgusted even thinking that he would have gone, and I don't know if I can get past this. Should this be something I am allowed to care about and potentially end the relationship over? Q2. MY MUM HAS A ‘TOYBOY’ I'm 35 and I have four younger siblings, three sisters, and my youngest brother is 24. Recently my mum, who is 55, told us she has a new partner who is 28. I'm really struggling with it. If I'm honest, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. She keeps telling us that he just treats her so well and age is just a number, but she's almost twice his age and it just doesn't sit right with me. I genuinely want to be happy for her if she's happy, but I'm just finding it difficult to get past the age gap, especially knowing that he's younger than me and all my sisters, and only four years older than my brother. I'd really appreciate hearing other people's perspectives. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did your feelings change over time? I am not looking to judge her. I just want to understand why I am finding it so hard to accept this. Q3. WON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ADDRESS Am I wrong to find this a red flag, or is this me looking for perfection in a person? I went on a first date with a guy, and I asked him to just drop me near my home, as I don't give out my exact address until I know someone well, which I told him directly. The very next day, he texted me that he wants to drop by my house with a gift. His exact words were: 'I'll get some chocolates, drop them by your house and say hi, then leave.' In my opinion, I feel as though this is a clear indication that my boundaries are not being respected. What do you all think? Am I overreacting? Q4. HE'S JUST...NOT FUNNY I love my partner. He's the best. He's smart, he's handsome, he's kind. He does the housework and we have similar values. But he's just not funny. It's often frustrating having to explain my jokes to him. Help . What does this mean? Are we really soulmates if I don't find him funny?

Today’s episode is such a special one. You would often hear us banging on about how good the community of our life uncut discussion group is, but the story that you’re about to hear might not only make your week but also be the best example of that community we could ever imagine.  Deb has been a part of our discussion group since 2022. Back in December 2023, one of our lifers, Deb, posted in the discussion group: she was 35, single, and had just found out her egg count was below the low range. After seven rounds of IVF and still empty handed, she was asking if anyone would consider donating eggs or embryos to help her become a mum. The post got 375 likes and an outpouring of women offering to help. Today we're sitting down with Deb and her eight-month-old daughter Poppy, who exists because of an embryo donation from another lifer. We talk about the shock of her AMH results, the toll of seven rounds of IVF, finding the "Single Mums By Choice" community, why she chose the Life Uncut discussion group over dedicated donor sites, what it was like juggling multiple potential donors, meeting Poppy's donor family for the first time, and how she plans to talk to Poppy about where she came from. It's a full-circle story about generosity, community and one incredible, hard-won miracle.

Hey Lifers!  We kick off with a deep and extremely necessary debate about jean-washing frequency (there is a day, and you know the day), plus Britt's new favourite purchase that solves the dreaded camel toe problem. Then Britt drags Laura back into ghost territory with fresh evidence her house is haunted, courtesy of her very unsettled dog, Delilah. From there we get into the new rom-com everyone's talking about: a woman builds herself the perfect husband out of rattan, and the internet cannot get enough. It's got us talking about the viral dating trend taking over TikTok, male yearning, and why women are so drawn to men who wear their feelings on their sleeve.  Then we shift into a much heavier conversation. We unpack what happened with Perez Hilton's TikTok live stream, and the bigger questions it raises about live broadcasting, consent, morbid curiosity, and our collective responsibility as viewers when something like this unfolds in real time. Please note: this section includes discussion of self-harm, so skip ahead if you need to. If you or someone you know needs support, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14.

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and burniest questions.This week Laura kicks off with a nit-related trauma flashback (there may or may not be an epidemic).Vibes & Unsubscribe Britt - motion sickness setting. Go into your settings -> accessibility -> choose motion -> select Vehicle Motion Cues -> turn it onLaura - unsubscribe from appliances that require appsVibe - Refa s carat face roller  Then we get into it: Q1: CAN I DATE A CRIMINAL? I work at a bank. About a year ago, this tall hot man came in; not objectively hot, but there was something about him, you know. He came to my counter, and when I asked for some ID, he said he didn't have any. I asked for a phone number, and he said he didn't have one. I asked for an address, which he also didn't have. Understandably, I was confused, and he went on to say that he had just gotten out of prison and needed help accessing his accounts. I was able to help him and he was very polite and very grateful. Of course, I went home and googled his name, but I couldn't find anything. Over the next month or so, he came in a bit as we were sorting through all his bank accounts. We would have a nice chat each time. He seemed like a really nice guy. Then I didn't see him for months, until… I was scrolling through Tinder one night last week and I saw him on there. He had liked me, so I liked him back. Now he has messaged me and said he would like to take me out for a drink. What do you think I should do? For context, I'm 40 years old. I live in a regional town where the pool is very small. I was with my ex-husband for 20 years until a few years ago, when I found out he'd been having a year-long affair. I've worked on myself and I love my single life, so I'm not desperate to meet someone, but it's been three years now, so it would be nice if it was with the right person. I've dated here and there, but no one worth giving up my single life for yet. I also have two children, a tween and a teen, so they're quite independent now. I have never introduced anyone I've dated to them, and I would only do it if I knew it was really serious. My question is, should I go on a date with this guy not knowing what he was in prison for? If I do go out with him, do I have to ask what he was in prison for, or is it too risky? Help! Q2: IS SUGAR BABYING CHEATING? Is sugar babying cheating? I know the pod has dabbled in the wide realm of cheating and where each thing falls on the spectrum, so I would love your opinion on this. I personally think it is, but I am just an outsider looking in. There is a girl I work with, and in the past, when she was single, she had done some sugar babying and had sugar daddies pay for some really expensive things for her. For example, cosmetic surgery (pop off, queen, to be honest). Now, apparently she had stopped when she started dating her current partner, though this can't be confirmed or denied, it's just her word. For a little background on her and her relationship: she moved away from her current partner to a different state for work at the beginning of this year, and he's going to be joining her next year. I have come to find out that since moving, she is sugar babying again. I did not find this out by admittance, but by another coworker finding her on a sugar-baby-seeking website. After discovering that, a lot of things that she's said or done started to become a little clearer, and it's obvious she's doing it again. I can guarantee the boyfriend does not know about this. Also for context, I don't have any idea what the depths of her sugar babying are. I'm pretty sure she's been on some dates since being in the new state; however, I'm unsure if anything physical has happened , just dates, or even just online stuff.Is this cheating, or is some aspect of it fine? Q3: MY HUSBAND SAYS HE NEEDS A "RESET" BEFORE HAVING KIDS My husband and I are in our mid-30s and have been together since uni. The last six years have been relentless, moving home from Europe during Covid, buying at the peak of the market, significant financial stress, family conflict over property, and now infertility. We're both emotionally exhausted. He still wants children but says he doesn't feel the same desperation to have them anymore, and he feels he needs a "reset" before becoming a parent. I understand he's burnt out, but I am terrified of waiting. I have suggested taking a break from work or seeing a therapist, but he won't commit to either. I feel stuck between respecting that he needs space and feeling like time won't be on our side if we spend too long in indecision from not doing IVF. How do we navigate this without ending up resentful of each other? Q4: AM I THE ASSHOLE FOR HATING MY HUSBAND'S ONESIE? This is a bit of a silly one, but genuinely wondering if I am the asshole for hating my husband's onesie. I know they're super popular and warm, and Aussie homes are not great for winter, but oh my god, my husband literally lives in his fucking onesie. He gets all dressed up for work, which I love, and then within two seconds of getting home, he's in his onesie with no shirt underneath and just a pair of tracks. He sleeps in his onesie, does the whole breakfast routine with our kids in it, and gets ready for work 15 minutes before leaving the house and then he's back in his onesie within five seconds of coming home again in the evening. Also, the added laundry headache with his incessant wearing of it is a pain in the ass because he won't wash it. He knows I hate it, but he just says he's cosy. He definitely has other warm home clothes. I even got him thermal tops to wear under his usual hoodie. It gives me the ick so bad, and I'm finding my husband less attractive because all he wears is a onesie. How do I get over this?

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, the stuff that got left in the group chat because there just wasn't room for it in the main episode! Lola is in her recorder era and Laura no longer has a need for an alarm clock! This week we yap about:  TikTok has declared 2026 the year of "nun girl summer.” We get into why choosing to be single feels so different for this generation compared to a decade ago.  Then things get messy in AFL land. A dad's public comment on Annie Knight's post spirals into a full-blown scandal involving a locker room dance video.  We debate whether Robert Irwin's Bonds campaign really was "just for the animals."  There's a viral pitch deck a guy sent a girl over email that might be the most iconic slide of all time.  And we close out with the story of a seven-year-old boy's birthday letter to his dad in heaven, and the Royal Mail worker who wrote back.   Timestamps 0:00 — Intro: matching cardigans & Lola's 6am recorder concert 2:58 — "Nun girl summer" 12:16 — AFL's OnlyFans scandal: a dad's public comment & Annie Knight's comeback 23:11 — Robert Irwin's Bonds campaign: the rebrand, the reptiles & "it was just a platform for the python" 30:49 — The viral "pitch deck" email that broke the internet 36:55 — The most wholesome story of the week: a boy's birthday letter to his dad in heaven Ep Mentioned: Uncut with Julia Morris - Apple I SpotifySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! Today's guest has to be one of the most recognisable personalities in Australian entertainment. It’s  TV host, comedian, five-time Gold Logie nominee and, until this year, the queen of the jungle herself, Julia Morris. After 12 years hosting I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, Julia found out the show wouldn't be returning to its old network and she joined us fresh off processing that huge identity shift. We get her Accidentally Unfiltered story (a very unfortunate wrong recipient text sent the night before the Gold Logies), what actually goes on behind the scenes in the South African jungle, and how redesigning her life. “Adapt or Die” she says. And hate clean! Julia also gets real with us about leaving a 16-year marriage, realising she'd been in a controlling relationship, and how being diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s helped explain patterns she'd never noticed. She talks candidly about "the great unfucking" of perimenopause and redesigning her whole life with her friends and being a mum to older girls. And because we are absolutely not impartial: Julia is up for her fifth Gold Logie nomination this year, and we want her to win it.

Hey Lifers! Do you like adventure or did you also pretend? Britt kicks things off with the story of the time she nearly lost her fingers on a bungee jump, which sends Laura down memory lane to her own bungee-related panic attack and the moment she realised she might not be as "adventurous" as she thought; cue a chat about being a bit of a relationship chameleon over the years. Britt then shares a personal update on her fertility and IVF journey and news about what's next for her and Ben. Laura shares the terrifying scare she had with her dog Buster last week, a health emergency that had her fearing the worst, and a reminder to always trust your gut when it comes to your pets. Last week we (somehow) ended up speaking about ‘sex lists’ and the strange names we all attribute to some of our ‘experiences.’ Today we share some of your funniest sex lists!Next up, we have a conversation that we've gone back and forth on having for a long time: Ariana Grande. Off the back of the release of her new music video "Petal" and the absolute onslaught of commentary about her body, we unpack where the line sits between genuine concern, public shaming, and who actually bears responsibility in moments like this.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Before we get into it, Britt has a story that will not be leaving her brain any time soon. Delilah went out for her last toilet break of the night and came back with an uninvited passenger. Vibes of the week: Britt — Abel Ceramics Laura — Feel Better Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee: "The Daily Habits That Protect Your Brain at Any Age" with Dr David Perlmutter  Then it's into your questions! HOW FAR DO I TAKE THE NAKED POLAROID TREND?I'm getting married in September and my partner loves the trend where bridesmaids slip cheeky Polaroids to the groom on the wedding day. My question is: how far are we taking this? I'm all for a cheeky photo, but what if a naked photo of me falls out of his jacket pocket and is seen by a family member? Do I make them too explicit, or should they be more covered up? It's a little wild to have them at an event where everyone I know is there. If it gets picked up by the wrong person, they'll know exactly who it is. MY FRIEND IS A MASSIVE TIGHT ASSWe're a group of friends, and one particular friend is always the tight ass. Small things like not paying you back for weeks, only splitting the bill if she's had more drinks than everyone else, always rounding down when we transfer money. Recently she organised a group activity and we figured out she actually profited off our contributions. How do we bring this up? Is it worth it, or do I just slowly moonwalk out of the friendship? She's definitely not struggling financially, she just has always been tight. HOW DO I FIND A GUY WITHOUT BEING A STALKER?About a year and a half ago, my ex's friend asked me out and I said no. It was too soon, too close to home. I recently ran into him at his workplace and realised I'd actually like to go on a date with him now. I know he's single, but he's not on social media, I don't have his number, and I can't exactly show up at his work without looking desperate. How do I ask him out or spontaneously meet him? SHOULD I TELL MY BOYFRIEND HE'S ESSENTIALLY PAYING OFF MY MORTGAGE?I bought my apartment five years ago and only have about $80K left on the mortgage. My boyfriend is moving in, and since we'd be paying $400 a week each if we were renting, that's what I've asked him to contribute. The catch is my mortgage is interest-only and only costs $300 a month. So his contribution is basically paying it off super fast, and I haven't told him how little is actually left. I don't think it's unfair, since he'd pay the same renting anyway. What should I do?" Timestamps 00:00 — Intro 05:33 — Vibes of the week 11:05 — Q1.

This week we sat down with Alexa Leary; two-time Paralympic gold medallist, world record holder, and author of Sink or Swim. You might know her as Lex. You definitely know that viral clip of her dancing in Paris. In 2021, Lex was 19 and training to be a professional triathlete when a cycling accident left her with one of the most severe traumatic brain injuries Royal Brisbane Hospital had ever seen. She wasn't supposed to survive. She had seven brain operations. Doctors told her family twice to come and say goodbye. Three years later, she broke the world record in Paris. Lex talks about what life with a TBI actually looks like day to day: the four years of memory wiped, waking up not knowing where she is, the boyfriend she couldn't remember, and the really dark period she's written about in her book for the first time. She is funny, warm, completely unfiltered, and has a really unique perspective on her second life. We chat: The accident and the miracle chain of events that saved her Four to five years of memory wiped - including her relationship, her best friend, and a tattoo she has no memory of getting What a traumatic brain injury actually looks like from the inside & the stuff nobody sees The really low period in the middle of it all, and what she wants anyone in that place to know How swimming went from rehab to two gold medals and a world record in Paris The quantum healer who predicted her medal haul from the ICU and was right Her new book and the chapter she never thought she’d share Timestamps 0:00 — Introducing Lex 8:40 — The accident, the miracle chain that saved her, and 111 days in hospital 17:10 — Four years of memory wiped — including her mum, her boyfriend, and a tattoo she doesn't remember 21:10 — The invisible side of TBI nobody sees behind the gold medals 28:20 — How swimming went from rehab to two gold medals in Paris 34:25 — Standing on the podium — and the viral dancing moment 42:00 — New music, the LA Paralympics, and what's next   You can follow Lex on Instagramand grab Sink or SwimSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! Grab the tissues for this one, it's Keeshia's very last episode with us.Britt's off-the-shoulder wardrobe malfunction nearly gives poor Lachy a heart attack, the girls compare their infamous "keyword" notes, and we unpack the great Butter Yellow Instagram takeover of 2026 (and how the algorithm knows exactly which conspiracy theory to serve you next). There's also a deep dive into the emergency alert conspiracy rabbit hole, and a quiche-making disaster. Then it's time to say goodbye. We take a walk down memory lane through five and a half years of Keeshia, from the 40-minutes-late first lunch meeting in Bondi, to the wedding dress airport security saga, to a truly staggering amount of bin chat. It's emotional, it's chaotic, and it's very, very us. To close things out, we play the most divisive voice memo in Life Uncut history: a guy who sent his date an extremely detailed message about needing to "test sexual compatibility" on a second date, and debate whether brutal honesty like that deserves applause or side-eye. Naturally, that leads us back to the greatest voice memo of all time: the man who followed up a month of silence with a 10-second recording of a fart he found on the internet. We need your rogue voice memo stories, send them in.

HE TOLD ME MY KISSING STYLE ISN'T FOR HIM We've just started being intimate and he kindly let me know my kissing style isn't up his alley - apparently I move my jaw too much. I've only ever kissed one way. How do you actually kiss "differently"? MY BOYFRIEND'S CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ARE MAKING ME QUESTION EVERYTHING I'm a 28-year-old woman of colour who's found someone chivalrous, funny and affectionate except he doesn't believe in transpeople, is against workplace inclusivity, and thinks a woman's body count shouldn't exceed his. I lied about mine. Is this a dealbreaker? CAN I PULL OUT OF BEING A BRIDESMAID A MONTH OUT? My friend of 20 years is getting married in four weeks and I'm a bridesmaid, but I can't stand her fiancé and I'm starting to worry he might be controlling behind closed doors. Can I bail?

Hey lifers! Our guest Ask Uncut is back with a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions! It’s Urzila Carlson, comedian, actor and certified petty queen, back for her THIRD time on the pod!You can listen/watch her other episodes here:A Tracksuit Pants & A Puffer Jacket Movie Star - Uncut with Urzila Carlson  GAGS, GUNS AND GRENADES - Uncut with Urzila Carlson We kick things off with Urzila's pettiest hill to die on: an airport baggage carousel showdown that turns into a full-blown "if you're going to be an asshole, I'm going to out-asshole you" saga, plus the diamond engagement ring she flatly refuses to give back to her cheating ex. Then we get into it cheating in queer relationships, dating (or very much not dating) after divorce, and protecting her kids from the revolving door of new partners. Then we jump into your questions! MY DAD IS DATING THREE WOMEN AND WE FOUND OUT HE'S SEEING HIS EX TOO My parents got divorced five years ago and my dad has been dating ever since. He's currently seeing three different women (none of whom are officially his "girlfriend"), and my sisters and I just found out via his iPad that he's also back with his ex. He lies to us about seeing her because he knows we don't like her. Do we say something, or is this none of our business? MY NEIGHBOUR GOT FINED $800 FOR HER BARKING DOG AND IT WAS MY FAULT I complained to the council about my neighbour's dog barking all day and night. I didn't expect them to actually act on it. She's now been fined $800 and I've heard she's not in a great financial position. The dog has finally stopped barking, but I feel like a monster. Do I come clean, or try to anonymously help her pay it off? I LIED AND SAID I WAS A MORNING PERSON TO IMPRESS MY BOYFRIEND Eighteen months ago, early in our relationship, I told my boyfriend I was a morning person because he loves sunrise walks and coffee dates. I am not a morning person. We've now moved in together, my alarm goes off at 5:45am every day, and I hate my life. Do I finally tell him the truth? I'M EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND MY PARTNER IS WORRIED HE WON'T GET ENOUGH OF MY TIME My partner has mentioned a few times that he's concerned I won't have enough time or love for him once the baby arrives. It's made me feel like I'm mothering him instead of building a family with him. Am I being hormonal, or is this a red flag? We also get the full, chaotic story behind the name of Urzila's new show Fatty On A Yacht, including the time she showed up to what she thought was a mate's dad's tinny for a fishing trip... and it was actually a super yacht party, complete with a Bluey life jacket and a life jacket she later bought secondhand and power-washed herself.

Hey Lifers! We are finally all back in one room after weeks of holiday mode, sinus infections and very aggressive Do Not Disturb settings, and there is a LOT to get through. First up, Laura's just landed back from Bali with a toddler who went down like a sack of gastro, and we catch up on everything we’ve missed while everyone was mixing and matching holidays. Then it's time to address the elephant in the pants: the Facebook discussion group came for Britt after last week's offcuts episode, and she is here to defend her holiday underwear rotation once and for all. Then we sit down for a very emotional conversation. A huge change is coming for the Life Uncut team, and there isn't a dry eye in the room. After that we unpack whether being called "lovely" or "hun" by customer service is actually patronising, or are we all just a bit too sensitive? And then, the story the whole internet is talking about. A husband wins a luxury YSL hamper at a work lunch, gives it straight to a female coworker in front of everyone, and now the internet has crowned it "the betrayal of consideration." We unpack why this one viral post has struck such a nerve with women everywhere!   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro: back from holiday mode, sinus infections and Bali gastro 5:29 — Britt's underwear scandal explained 11:19 — Should the Facebook group nicknames stay or go? 13:53 — The big announcement: a huge change for the Life Uncut team 25:05 — "Hey lovely" vs "hey babe.” Is a pet name patronising? 35:56 — YSL-gate: the hamper that's "destroyed a marriage" 48:04 — Suck and Sweet   Keep your questions coming!

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! It's Britt and Keeshia today while Laura enjoys the tail end of her time off. She'll be back in the hot seat on Wednesday! But first, Keesh has an Ask Uncut of her own: you're at a party, there's one designated party toilet, and the person before you has left some very unfortunate evidence behind. Do you clean a stranger's skid marks, or walk out and let 40 strangers assume it was you? Vibes of the week:Britt -  Lost in the Jungle on Disney+ Keeshia - The Basic Band  Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY FRIEND BAILED ON OUR BALI TRIP AND EXPECTS THE GROUP TO COVER HER SHAREA group of us girls organised a trip to Bali and we've all paid for flights and accommodation, split evenly. A few nights ago one of the girls messaged me privately saying she now has uni exams and can no longer come, and asked if it would be easier for everyone to just transfer her for her part. I told her I didn't think it was fair to expect the group to pay more to cover her costs, but that I couldn't speak for everyone. So she put it in the group chat... and nobody replied. Now she's acting cold and standoffish with me at work. Surely it's an unspoken rule that if you pull out for your own reasons, the group doesn't have to cover you? Am I the asshole? Q2: CAN A WORK FLIRTATION EVER BE HARMLESS?My husband and I have three kids together, but the romantic relationship is non-existent. I've suggested therapy and he refuses, so we're at a standstill: no intimacy, a lot of resentment, and I'm not sure it's even salvageable. Separating is an option, but I don't want to only see my kids 50% of the time. He's a good dad, just a shitty husband, so I feel really stuck. I've recently gone back to work and a coworker is laying it on thick. He's made it very clear he's interested, and for the first time in years I'm enjoying the attention... and feeling like a horrible person for it. Can you engage in a work flirtation and it be harmless, or is it just a bad idea altogether? Q3: I FOUND 100 PRINTED NUDES OF MY BOYFRIEND'S EXI recently moved in with my boyfriend of eight months. He was away for work the other night and I found a box containing about 100 printed nude photos of his ex-girlfriend... who he has an AVO out against. When I asked him about it, he swore black and blue that he didn't know he still had them. I personally find it hard to believe he magically forgot about a stack of photos that were very easily accessible. Any advice would be appreciated!  Q4: SHOULD WE TELL OUR 14-YEAR-OLD WE'RE SECRETLY INVESTING HIS BOARD MONEY?My 14-year-old has just gotten his first job, and I've told him he'll need to pay 30% board from his take-home pay each fortnight. My wife is on board. Where we disagree: I want him to pay the money and assume it's gone, just like rent in the real world. My wife wants to tell him we're actually investing it all for him, to be handed back at 25 as a deposit for a house or unit. I'm worried that telling him would stop him from developing his own saving and investing habits. We'd love to know your thoughts!

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend snacky snack! Laura's away, so Britt and Keeshia are holding down the fort and Britt has arrived dressed like Daphne crossed with Velma (sexy Scooby-Doo, knee-high stiletto boots). We get into the cost of being a short girl, the floor-drobe method of outfit planning, the sniff test, and a heated debate about exactly how many wears you can get out of a pair of undies. Then we get into it: That Ryanair flight where a window blew out mid-flight and a man was sucked halfway out of the plane while his wife held onto his ankles. Heated Rivalry's breakout star Hudson Williams was stalked through the streets of Paris to his private residence and his attempt to dramatically burn the stalkers' photos has gone viral. But why did the internet cheer him on when Chappell Roan was torn to shreds for doing far less in the same city? Kylie Jenner has fronted the new "Kylie Edition" Meta glasses; a discreet camera on your face with Kylie's voice as the AI. We get into the fascinating history of the Kodak Girl, how tech has been using women to make surveillance feel safe and desirable for 140 years, and why we think this collab is a genuine betrayal. The world's first Body Count Reset Centre has reportedly opened in Brazil. It’s a $1,000 spiritual cleanse to erase your past. Or, hear us out... you could just lie for free? And finally, Belgian star Jeremy Doku left the World Cup to be at the birth of his child. A French presenter called him a "completely useless" dad for it. With one of Ben's own teammates facing the exact same choice, Britt asked Ben the question directly: would you leave the World Cup for me?  TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Outfit confessions, the undies debate & the Maldives G-string farewell gift 8:06 — Man sucked halfway out a Ryanair window mid-flight 12:18 — Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams confronts his Paris stalkers (vs Chappell Roan's treatment) 25:48 — Kylie Jenner x Meta glasses & how tech uses women to normalise surveillance 36:36 — The $1,000 Body Count Reset Centre in Brazil 41:31 — Would you leave the World Cup for the birth of your child?

Hey lifers! Our guest Ask Uncut is BACK! Once a month (ish 😂) we bring in a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions, and this month's guest is the phenomenal, fabulous, one-of-a-kind drag queen Hannah Conda! You may also know her as Chris Collins, runner-up on RuPaul's Drag Race and a person who once seriously considered becoming a Catholic priest. The pipeline from seminary to sequins is more logical than you'd think, she assures us. Then we jump into your questions! MY BOYFRIEND CRIES DURING SEX. IS THIS NORMAL?I've been seeing a guy for about four months and he cries roughly one out of three times we have sex. He says he just gets overwhelmed and it's pretty normal. It was cute at the start but now it's putting me off. Is this somewhat normal? Is he telling the truth? I don't have a huge dating history so I genuinely don't know. MY BEST FRIEND LOST WEIGHT AND NOW I DREAD GOING OUT WITH HERMy best friend lost a lot of weight over the past year and looks incredible. I'm so happy for her. But our friendship has shifted. We used to be on the same level socially when we'd go out. Now she gets all the attention. She's more confident, and sometimes she feels a bit dismissive of me. I feel horrible even writing this. Am I a bad friend? I miss how we used to be. I GAVE MY BOYFRIEND A HANDY AND GOT NOTHING BACKMy boyfriend of over five years just laid there, hands behind his head, completely blissfully while I finished him off. He did not touch me once. I left him to clean himself up and didn't speak to him for hours. Do I have the right to be mad? Should I have stopped midway and asked if he was going to touch me back? MY PARTNER WON'T LET ME PEE IN FRONT OF HIMMy current partner of one year is wigged out if I go to the toilet while he's in the room. He'd rather I wait until he leaves. I find this a bit strange; it's never been an issue in past relationships. Are we peeing in front of our partners or not? And when we have kids, he won't have a choice, will he? IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO GLAM AT A WEDDING?I've been invited to a wedding and I want to do full glam; lashes, shimmer, colour, contour, the lot. My friends reckon it's disrespectful and that I'll look like I'm trying to be the main character. Is this actually a thing?

Hey Lifers! Surprise! Britt is BACK! Keeshia is filling in for Laura this week while she enjoys the school holidays, and the girls waste no time getting into it: the bonus episodes with Ben that had half of you sliding into Britt's DMs to check if she was okay! We have an honest chat about why some things are easier to talk about from a scar than a wound. Then - the trolls were right. After nearly 4 months straight with Ben (the longest stretch they've EVER spent together), Britt discovered something about her husband on the island of Capri that she genuinely cannot believe she didn't know. What did you find out embarrassingly late in your relationship?  Also, Britt left the country for four months and came back to find Keeshia beating butter with a scarf on her head. We get into cottage core, going crunchy, the microplastics rabbit hole, and the new counter-trend of "wellness anarchism" - because apparently cigarettes are back (they never left Europe). Then it's time for the deep dive: The Love Producer. Julie, Pilot Pete's lead producer on the US Bachelor, has released a tell-all memoir about their secret romance. Britt, who has lived the Bachelor experience from the inside, has THOUGHTS. We break down what a lead producer actually does, the two camps of the internet's reaction, Pilot Pete's response, and whether this was a love story or a gross misuse of power. Britt also opens up about her own finale and whether Nick's producers knew he was picking no one, and how she'd feel if that story ever got the Love Producer treatment.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning dilemmas! Full transparency: we arrived at the studio at 8am and it took us approximately three hours to record 45 minutes of podcast because sometimes you just have to sit with your friends and feel each other out first. Efficiency is not always the word of the year in practice. We also need to talk about the fact that Roald Dahl — the man who wrote the BFG — was a World War II spy and fighter pilot before he decided to write children's books. And James Blunt was in the military before "You're Beautiful." You can change your career at any point. Vibes for the week:Laura - @la_sidhu  Keeshia - Worldle Britt - Gone on Stan  LOST AT 30Advice needed for a lost 30 year old. Honestly I’m really struggling being single. I’ve been told my hormone levels are low and the best option is to get my eggs frozen as I’m a single 30 year old. I’m not closed off to doing it but I just feel like a failure and putting it off. I’ve tried dating and any time I think I’ve found someone it’s always the same story ‘you’re amazing but I’ve found someone else, but I still want to be friends’ I’m exhausted with dating but I don’t want to give up because I want the partner and the family all of that. But I just genuinely feel like it’s never going to happen and to just give up on that life I’ve always wanted. How do I get out of this rut, dating is exhausting and the fear of getting my eggs frozen is just all consuming. And honestly I’m shutting down because of it. I just want some advice and preferably not the typical ‘you’ll find love when you least expect It ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS ‘DATING’ MY EXOne of my best friends is now “dating” my ex. My ex, my best friend and I have all been friends for around 9 years. 1 year ago my ex and I broke up from a 5 year relationship. It was a fairly mutual breakup but it did come from me. Straight away after the break up my friend and my ex started getting really close and spending a lot of time together. I started to question if something was going on between them, which was always a sensitive spot for me during the relationship (as they were pretty close then but not this close). I felt replaced in my ex’s life by my best friend but I tried to move past it and even spoke to both of them about this which they told me nothing was going on. Fast forward to now where I have just found out they have been sleeping together and are in a situationship for the last ~7 months. I am here to ask you how you would feel in this situation as I am totally over my ex and don’t care if he moves on but not sure how I feel about my best friend and what this means for our friendship. I feel she has totally disrespected our friendship. I think the expected response would be to stop being friends and it’s what I told myself I would do if this happened but now I am here I don’t feel that affected by it. Should I hold a greater standard for our friendship and move on knowing there are better people out there who have my back or should I just move on and continue with our friendship however that may look now?  For context she is very distressed about what this means for our friendship.  DO I REACH OUT TO GUY FROM YEARS AGO?3 years ago I was casually dating two guys at the same time. After about 2-3 months of dating each guy, things started to get serious. I knew it was unfair to continue with both but I found it really hard to choose. Both had great qualities but I ended up choosing Guy A because I felt a deeper connection at the time and he was a friend of a friend (vetted). Fast forward Guy A and I broke up 2.5 years later. It wasn't meant to be. But now I can't help but think, should I try and see if something could work with Guy B? I dont have him on social media so I can't check if he's dating anyone. For context, Guy B messaged me multiple times throughout my 2.5year relationship. Initially he said he'd wait for me if I changed my mind. I never responded out of respect for my relationship. He would message me about mutual interests and even that he saw Guy A and I at a sporting match. Should I initiate conversation? If so, how would I go about it? MY FRIEND GOT ENGAGED AND I FELT NOTHING AND NOW I FEEL TERRIBLE My best friend got engaged last weekend and I said all the right things. I screamed, I cried, I asked to see the ring and asked for the proposal story etc. But privately in that first moment when she told me, I felt nothing. Not happy, not sad, just nothing. And now I feel like a really bad friend. Do I secretly not think he's right for her? Am I jealous? Am I just a bad friend? She is absolutely glowing and I feel guilty for not actually being excited for her. What is wrong with me?

Hey lifers! We're on holidays and that means Matty J is back on the mic!Matt is now also a TV actor (despite being unaware of the genre of the show) and is joining Laura to answer your Ask Uncut questions! Matt is firm on one thing: this is the LAST time you'll hear from him for at least six months - unless you love it, in which case maybe we'll bring him back.  Then we get into your questions! HE CHEATED AND DOESN'T KNOW I CAN STILL READ HIS MESSAGES I charged up my old iPhone that he was previously using and discovered my ex of six years had been cheating on me before we broke up. I can still see his current messages, and I now know he's planning to have the girl over while I'm away on a camping trip. Do I cancel the trip and come home to catch them? Or do I leave it? HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS DON'T KNOW I EXIST AFTER A YEARI've been in a long-distance relationship for almost a year. His family knows about me. We've travelled together. We've talked about the future. But his friendship group, who are mostly women, have no idea I exist. He says he needs more time to "understand the relationship" before introducing me. Am I being unreasonable?

Hey Lifers! Matt is back; dragged in, as per tradition, to cover the holiday break. They kick off with the state of Matt's chest hair, a debrief on Laura's ten days in India while Matt solo parented three kids and the homecoming argument that kicked off. Then your questions!Have they ever considered divorce? Matt's answer is a roast chicken analogy. Do they both orgasm every time? Does Laura's ambition test Matt's patience? And there's the small matter of the Daily Mail article after Matt went on a podcast and casually mentioned that they're drowning in debt.

We're back with another Aftermath episode! If you've been lying awake wondering what happened to the people behind some of our most talked-about Ask Uncut questions, same. Today we finally get the updates we’ve all been desperate for! The Threesome AftermathThe question that went viral, flooded our DMs for two years, and made Brittany physically reach out and beg for an update. You might remember it: a woman wrote in just weeks before her wedding, after a pre-marriage threesome with her fiancé and a friend resulted in a pregnancy. The condom broke. Nobody said anything. A baby was on the way. "Don't Sleep With Anyone for a Month"A woman going through a devastating breakup asked her ex for one thing: don't hook up with anyone for 30 days while she finds her feet. He said he'd try but couldn't promise. We had pretty definitive opinions at the time. So, did he respect it? And did the one-month boundary actually give her the peace she was looking for? "My Parents Won't Stop Suggesting Names"A listener at 38 weeks pregnant is being driven up the wall by her mum constantly texting baby name suggestions. Is she being too precious, or is naming your child something sacred between you and your partner? This one spiralled because it turns out Laura, Brittany AND Keeshia have very strong feelings about unsolicited name suggestions (and a personal history involving a chatbot that shall not be named). "Did I Betray My Friend Group?"When a group all tries for tickets to a sold-out show and one person scores through a different friend, are they obligated to stay in the original group, even if it means missing out entirely? This one also had a personal twist when it turned out the question may have been written by someone who works in the Life Uncut team. Have we answered YOUR Ask Uncut? We want your aftermath. Slide into our DMs or send us an email; even if you think nothing interesting happened. We just need to know. We need to put a full stop at the end of that sentence.   Timestamps0:00 - Intro 4:17 - The Threesome — she finally wrote back18:12 - The one-month boundary — did he keep his promise?24:00 - Baby name drama — the baby has arrived30:58 - Concert ticket drama   Keep your questions coming!

Hey Lifers! Ben is back for a bonus round because you sent in way too many questions for just one episode! They kick things off with the reality of living together full time: Ben's answer is "we're doing fine," Britt's answer involves the phrase "truffle pig". Ben shares what it actually takes to make it as a professional footballer and whether he ever tries to get under opponents' skin.  Ben opens up about life pre-Britt, how he knew she was the one, and the biggest fight of their marriage. They also get into the question everyone keeps sliding into the DMs: babies. Britt and Ben speak openly about their fertility journey and what it looks like from here.  0:00 — Welcome & living together full time 7:15 — How to make it as a pro footballer 18:10 — Getting to know Ben: languages, Aussie slang, life pre-Britt and how he knew she was the one 27:18 — The biggest fight of their marriage 38:28 — Babies, fertility and the IVF journey Want more from Ben?

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! This week we have a very special co-host: Britt's husband Ben is back in the hot seat. They recorded this just before going on a month holiday and their one year wedding anniversary. To mark the occasion, Britt reached out to her parents Nikki and Tony, who have been married for 48 years, and asked them for their best marriage advice! We also revisit the greatest wedding chaos of 2025: Ben picking up his suit jacket the day they flew out, the photographer cancelling days before the ceremony, and the legendary cake gate. One year on and we are still not fully over it. Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY BOYFRIEND RESPECTED MY BOUNDARY ABOUT THE BUCK'S PARTY AND NOW THE OTHER WIVES ARE BULLYING ME FOR IT My boyfriend is best man at his best mate's wedding. The three day buck's party has strippers booked for eight hours on the first night, and strippers are a hard boundary for me. My boyfriend agreed to attend part of the weekend but leave before that part of the night. When he told the groom, the buck was furious and then two of the women I considered my friends added me to a group chat calling me insecure and saying I'm "emotionally damaging" my boyfriend and the friendship. When I reached out to talk, they said they were too busy before the wedding. The wedding is overseas in four weeks. What do I do? Q2: MY GIRLFRIEND HAS ASKED ME TO SIT DOWN TO PEE. IS THIS REASONABLE OR AN ATTACK ON MY MASCULINITY? My long term partner and I have just moved in together. After watching a MythBusters episode about how standing to pee spreads germs, she's asked me to sit down from now on. I have no problems with my aim. I occasionally prefer to sit when tired or hungover. But mostly I prefer to stand; it's more efficient and comfortable. Is this a reasonable request, or is it an attack on my masculinity? Q3: I MOVED TO THE UK FOR MY HUSBAND 16 YEARS AGO. NOW HE WON'T MOVE BACK TO AUSTRALIA. I moved to the UK at 22 for the man I'm now married to. We've built a full life here; a home, a four-year-old, a dog, a cat. On paper everything looks settled. But I have always been clear that I wanted to move back to Australia one day, especially to raise a family, and he has always agreed. Now that I'm actually raising it seriously, he doesn't want to go. He can be stubborn, and the more I push, the more resistant he becomes. On top of this, I've had three consecutive miscarriages with the last ending in a D&C and it's made me feel even more strongly about being near my family. I also feel completely unfulfilled in my job. I feel stuck. How do you navigate this when neither person is wrong, but timing is starting to feel really important? Q4: I'M 34 AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP. WAS THERE A MEETING I MISSED? Everyone around me seems so certain about their lives. How am I supposed to figure it out?

Vibes of the week:Link to the sensor lightsKeeshia 🧲 Adhesive Magnetic Tablet Wall Mount Holder (Two Pack) Laura 👕 Tahnee Kelland T-Shirts Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY BEST FRIEND'S HUSBAND GOT A HAIR TRANSPLANT AND IS ASKING HER TO LIE ABOUT IT My best friend's husband has gone from barely-there hair to a full comeback and he's been telling everyone it's down to diet and stress reduction. She knows the truth. Their friends know the truth. And now she's been put in the impossible position of actively upholding a lie she never agreed to, while everyone around her silently raises an eyebrow. Q2: MY ABUSIVE EX IS NOW WITH ONE OF THE GIRLS HE CHEATED ON ME WITH. DO I WARN HER? I was in an incredibly volatile relationship for three years; emotional abuse, multiple women, dating apps running the whole time. Four months out, I'm working on myself. Now I'm watching him post his new girlfriend all over Instagram. It’s one of the girls he was seeing behind my back. I want to warn her. But am I out of line? Q3: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE HEN GETS BLOTTO AT HER HENS PARTY? The hen got blotto, passed out, the night ended early and now the blame is flying. Is it the guests? The bridesmaids? The maid of honour? Or the hen herself? Q4: I CAUGHT MY FRIEND REHEARSING HER STORIES IN THE MIRROR BEFORE A DINNER PARTY I walked back into the room and my close friend was standing in front of the mirror, running through full sentences and hand gestures for a story she was planning to tell at dinner later that night. I reversed out quietly. She then told the exact same story, exactly as rehearsed. Is this genius? Is this deeply weird? Is this something everyone secretly does?

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your little weekend snack!We kick things off with a very pressing issue: Laura thinks there's a mouse living in the roof of her car. Keeshia shares her own rodent origin story where she spent her honours year in a biomedical research lab dosing rats with very high quality drugs. Laura's mouse had a rougher life. We also revisit the great childhood mouse escape where approximately 15 pet mice gnawed through their cage and moved into the family home, which did not end well for them. Then we get into it: Uber has dropped its Lost and Found Index for 2026, and the list does not disappoint.  Patagonia the brand vs Pattie Gonia the drag queen & the trademark war that's taken over everyone's algorithm. Ballmaxxing. Men are injecting saline into their scrotums at home to make their testicles firmer, rounder, and more even. Is this actually so different from what women have been doing for years?  Is it the fear of failure, or is it the fear of people watching you fail?  TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Britt's on holidays, Laura & Keeshia are running the show (nom noms still on ice) 0:50 — Laura has a mouse in her car.

Back in 2020, we released an episode titled  “Talking Miscarriage” where Laura spoke about experiencing not one but two miscarriages. It is an episode that people still message us every week about. Six years ago the topic of miscarriage was still pretty taboo, and it has changed slightly but it’s still an experience that leaves so many people feeling alone and grieving privately.Today’s guest has unfortunately experienced miscarriage a number of times. We first got to know Irena Gilbert on The Bachelor Australia back in 2020. After that final rose, her and Locky have gone on to get married and build a life together! Before welcoming their daughter Ava in February 2024, Irena experienced multiple miscarriages; her first in 2021, her second in 2023, and now another just 2 weeks ago. Today we're sitting down with Irena to talk about something that affects one in four pregnancies in Australia, and yet still so often goes unspoken, pregnancy loss. This conversation is not easy. But it is important, generous, and going to reach a lot of women who need to hear it. Irena brings something rare to this conversation: she is both a woman who has lived through pregnancy loss multiple times, and a nurse with over 15 years of experience caring for women going through the same thing. The gap between what she knew clinically and what she felt personally is something she speaks to with a lot of honesty. We chat: When Irena & Locky spoke about having kids Why their Covid-interrupted season actually gave them something most Bachelor couples never get Her first pregnancy loss and why she felt she wasn't "allowed" to grieve it How the second miscarriage How partners grieve differently, and why their pain gets left out of the conversation What miscarriage actually looks like physically  The statistics: roughly 280–300 miscarriages happen in Australia every day Pregnancy after loss: why Irena couldn't let herself feel excited, couldn't take photos, and was still waiting for something to go wrong on the day Ava was born Her third and most recent loss two weeks ago Why this one hurt the most and what her obstetrician said that finally made sense of it "At least you have a healthy baby" - why well-meaning words can be the most dismissive thing you can say Why pregnancy loss and infertility are different experiences that don't need to be compared You can follow Irena on Instagram Free counselling is available from Red Nose Grief and Support Line  Timestamps 0:00 — Intro 2:20 — Bachelor 2020, meeting Locky, and talking kids on their very first date 4:40 — The Covid season: why six months of phone calls gave them something most Bachelor couples never had 6:40 — Going back to nursing after the show and why it kept her grounded 8:30 — First pregnancy loss 12:00 — Laura shares her own experience: the complicated feelings of an unplanned pregnancy lost 13:40 — How the second miscarriage unlocked everything she'd buried from the first 20:40 — How Locky processed it  23:05 — What miscarriage actually feels like physically 29:25 — The statistics: 280–300 miscarriages a day in Australia, and that's only the ones that are known about 30:00 — Pregnancy after loss: not allowing herself to get excited, not taking photos, waiting for something to go wrong 35:20 — Why she struggled with social media pregnancy announcements and the joy she'll never fully have back 36:00 — The third loss: two weeks ago 38:20 — Why this one hurt the most: her obstetrician's explanation that finally made sense 39:30 — "At least you've got a healthy baby" — why this is the most dismissive thing you can say, even when it comes from love 43:10 — The grief Olympics: pregnancy loss and infertility aren't competing, they're both just really shit 45:20 — Laura's experience of her second loss, and the complicated way miscarriage can clarify how much you want something 49:20 — The shame hangover: why women of our mothers' generation stayed silent, and what that cost us 53:20 — Her mum's stillbirth, growing up knowing about it, and being a rainbow baby herself 54:05 — What she wants every woman who hears this to know See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! Britt is living her best life in Italy so it's Laura and Keeshia holding down the fort for this one. Laura gives us a little update on her first weekend away without the kids; two whole nights, dinner at 6:30pm with a seven minute door-to-car turnaround, and it’s pure bliss. She's also heading to India tomorrow at 5am for a ten day work trip and we get a bit of the BTS of what’s in store for the trip.Keeshia is in one of those ‘scattered’ phases where she keeps doing stupid things that frustrate her, the people around her and also can be quite expensive ‘accidents’.  We share your worst roommate stories and they are some of the most unhinged messages we’ve ever read. Some are disgusting, some are absolutely deranged, and one involves a Tinder date being called to fix a blocked toilet.  A self-described comedian posted a video that racked up nearly two million views, cost her a job, and ignited a national conversation about race, satire, and what Australians are and aren't allowed to say; and she has not apologised to a single person. We question if "it's just a joke" can protect you legally in Australia? What are your actual rights as an employer when a staff member's public views trash your company values? And what does it say about us as a society that there's now a $46k crowdfund in her name? “Optimisation culture has made us all miserable.” Steven Bartlett said that three glasses of wine ruined his life for three days. We ask whether we've all been so busy tracking our bio stats that we forgot to actually have fun. We chat sleep scores, going alcohol free, nonna maxxing, friction maxxing (more maxxings, we know, we know, we’re all over them) and adding ‘whimsy’ into your life in 2026. Don't forget to slide into our DMs @lifeuncutpodcast with your questions or any remaining unhinged roommate stories we didn't get to.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Big news this week: this is Britt's last episode before she heads off on a month-long holiday through Europe with Ben. Laura and Keeshia will hold down the fort next week and no, they are not wheeling in the big box TV like a substitute teacher. Fresh new content is dropping throughout, so don't go anywhere. Vibes of the week: Britt 📺 Worst Ex Ever on Netflix  Keeshia 🩲 Aunt Flow period underwear  Laura 🧳 Cubey Packing Cubes by Holly Kingston and Jimmy Nicholson  Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS POSTING PHOTOS WITH MY HUSBAND'S EX-WIFE ALL OVER FACEBOOK They've been together ten years. He was married before and, from what he's told her, his mum and his ex-wife didn't get along. Then out of nowhere: three separate Facebook posts of the mother-in-law at brunch with the ex-wife. Her friends think it's a deliberate dig. Her husband won't say anything because he hates conflict. Q2: MY FRIEND IS PREGNANT AND I KNOW IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT Her friend has had an on-and-off friends-with-benefits situation for years with a guy most of their group doesn't approve of. Now she's pregnant. The problem: just weeks earlier, the friend had told her she was thinking about not taking the morning after pill and that "if there was anyone to have an accident with, it was him." She doesn't know how to show up, can't pretend to believe it was a surprise, and doesn't know whether to say anything. Q3: SHE CHEATED. NOW HE'S USING IT AS AN EXCUSE TO BARELY COME HOME OR BE A DAD A six month old baby, both on six-figure salaries, and the husband has decided to take a career change that means he'll only be home once or twice a month. When she raised concerns, he turned it back on her and accused her of not wanting to take responsibility for their child. The reason he's doing this? She cheated on him. Q4: MY EX LEFT ME FOUR MONTHS INTO OUR MARRIAGE FOR THE LOCAL BARMAID. NOW HE WANTS ME BACK. Five years together, two kids, four months into marriage - and he left. It's been two years of courts, separation and his bad behaviour (which he now admits was jealousy over her new partner). He's begging to come back. She still loves him. She misses the family unit. Her little boys keep asking for Mummy and Daddy to live together again. She's now in a new relationship with a man who is wonderful to her kids. She doesn't know what to do.

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your little weekend snack! We kick things off with Laura's post-baby-number-three return to exercise, specifically, an aggressive 8.5km power walk that has left her pelvis in absolute ruins. We also cover the lengths we've gone to impress men in our past lives: spearfishing, drones, the works. Then we get into it: Clavicular is… ‘penismaxxing’.  The "high value woman doesn't accept coffee dates" TikTok trend  Young Australians are collectively wasting $2 billion a year on skincare they buy and never finish.  A woman in America has been arrested for posing as a real estate agent to film luxury $12–13 million Bel-Air mansions for her Instagram.  TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro 0:56 — Laura's post-baby 8.5km walk broke her pelvis 6:19 — Clavicular is penis maxxing  13:56 — Matthew Hussey on the "high value woman doesn't accept coffee dates" trend 21:45 — Australians waste $2 billion a year on skincare they never finish 27:27 — Woman arrested for posing as a real estate agent to film Bel-Air mansions for Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Produced by Keeshia Pettit Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Today’s episode is with one of our very favourite Bach alums Tara Pavlovic. Tara was on Laura's season of The Bachelor back in 2017, and despite the slightly unusual premise of competing for the same man, she's one of the people Laura has genuinely stayed close with ever since. Tara is currently going through a separation. Not in the past tense, not with the benefit of two years of hindsight. She’s currently in the thick of it, while co-parenting two young kids and figuring out what life looks like on the other side. And she wanted to come and talk about it, because she knows there are women out there sitting exactly where she was sitting a few months ago, wondering if it's okay to make the decision to leave. We chat: The post-Bachelor world: fake attention, disingenuous people, and why it made trusting anyone so hard Years of couples counselling, trying everything, and the moment the penny finally dropped What it physically felt like in her body when the relationship was no longer working Why "staying for the kids" isn't always the best thing Separation and equal parenting  The judgment that comes when you're the one who leaves Discovering she can kill spiders, mow lawns, and do everything she thought she needed someone else for "Do I believe in love anymore? Absolutely not"  and what she actually means Life now: calm, present, peaceful, and genuinely happy Tara also teases an upcoming podcast she's launching with Bachelor alum David Lloyd!

Hey Lifers! We kick off this week with Britt calling in from Italy (hungover, again 👀) and why it took us YEARS to stop performing on camera and actually just be ourselves with our naturally low voices.  Laura had a suspicious parcel arrive at her front door. It was full of syringes, tiny vials, and one very tanned man who came to collect it. We speak about the world of Melanotan, carrot maxing, and the very real question of whether eating 20 carrots a day will make you glow. The roommate phaseIs your relationship resting or rotting? There's a big difference, and we break it all down from the red flags that say you're rotting to why the roommate phase is actually really common, and sometimes even kind of… nice? We chat about the trenches of parenthood, feeling a little flat in your relationship and finding novelty.  Keeshia opens up about where she's at in her relationship and why she's genuinely embracing the rest.  We wrap up with sucks and sweets; Britt is a year into marriage and almost forgot her anniversary, Laura's baby Poppy is pulling herself up on everything and immediately face-planting, and Laura's heading to India with her sister.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Vibes of the week: Britt - Imperfect Women on Apple TV+  Laura - Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart on Netflix  Keeshia - Kylie on Netflix Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN USING MY TOOTHBRUSH. REGULARLY. Six months in, she catches her boyfriend putting her toothbrush back in the holder. He casually says, "I thought we were at that stage." She was so shocked she didn't react. Now she has the biggest ick of her life and doesn't know how to bring it up. Q2: OUR FRIENDS COPIED OUR ENTIRE RENOVATION After years of work, late nights, and an enormous amount of emotional labour, her renovation is done and she loves it. Then her friends started their reno, asked a lot of very specific questions — and have now copied the whole thing. Right down to the tiles, stones and room colours. Her husband doesn't see the issue. She does. Q3: I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE SECRETLY RICH AND HIDING IT FROM MEEight months in, she loves him and can see a future with him. But he's weirdly intense about splitting everything to the dollar and she's accidentally seen investment account balances, a large transfer, and a land tax invoice on his kitchen bench. He's never mentioned any of it. Q4: FIANCE BROKE OFF ENGAGEMENT AFTER ‘FALLING OUT OF LOVE’They'd been together four years, engaged for one. Both mid-20s. This was her first relationship and therefore her first heartbreak. He told her he'd been dealing with doubts internally for months before finally saying he'd fallen out of love and ending the engagement. She moved back home to her mum's.

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to your weekend treat. The nom nom nom discourse is real, it is divisive, and the feedback has been received. Laura is personally victimised. We will poll you. Then we get into it: Taylor Swift is getting married and there’s plus one drama. We ask if wedding guests have a right to feel hurt when their partner doesn't make the cut? A woman on TikTok cried on camera because 39 children took over the pool and hot tub at her hotel; a hotel she specifically chose for the pool and hot tub. You can hire a woman for $500 to turn up to your funeral. It’s petty, but it’s also impactful. The Enhanced Games just wrapped up in Las Vegas. We speak about legal doping, $1 million prize pools, and Aussie Olympic swimmer James Magnussen throwing himself back in a decade after his Olympic career ended. Did anyone break any records? Is the IOC being petty? Should the Olympics just pay their athletes more? We get into all of it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — The nom nom nom saga 7:56 — Taylor Swift's wedding: no venue on the invites, no plus ones, and is Blake even invited? 21:16 — Woman goes viral crying over 39 kids taking over the hotel pool and hot tub 30:57 — The $500 funeral mourner: arrives in a limo, cries, disappears  39:49 — The Enhanced Games: legal doping, $1 million prize pools, and it just happened in Vegas   You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Produced by Keeshia Pettit Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Hey Lifers! We come to you today after 2.5 hours of technical chaos. Britt nearly got deported from Italy. With ten days until she legally had to leave the country, Ben revealed he had not, in fact, sorted the visa that he was meant to.  Laura's baby Poppy had what we are calling an incident involving the family dog Buster and sensory play. Buster was mortified. Poppy was unbothered.  There's also a Slimy Rock Johnson update. The garden snail that Marlie Mae brought home five weeks ago, that half of you were very invested in, has been ceremonially released to the garden after Laura quietly became the only one caring for him.  Then the story that has been living rent-free in our heads for two weeks. Katie Price, UK glamour model, national treasure of chaos, recently married a man named Lee Andrews after knowing him for approximately two days. Lee lives in Dubai. Lee is allegedly a billionaire. Lee has photos with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian that are so obviously photoshopped you will need to sit down. Multiple women have come forward saying Lee is a serial romance scammer who took significant amounts of money. A Texan nurse lost over £123,000. His previous fiancée is apparently wearing the same ring Katie now has. Lee was supposed to fly to the UK to appear live on Good Morning Britain to prove he could leave the country and instead called Katie from the airport to say he was being bundled into a white van and cable-tied. He has been "kidnapped" ever since.We unpack the whole unhinged saga including Katie’s particularly interesting timing to be doing CBD gummy ads. We speak about tactics that romance scammers use like ‘future faking’ and the ‘double trauma’ that victims of romance scams experience. Britt also has some personal experience with why people might not listen when someone tries to warn you.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! We kick things off with Britt's very public apology to an unnamed language app she accused of scamming her last week. Spoiler: she wasn't scammed. She just used the wrong email. She's back on track to becoming fluent in Italian. Vibes of the week:Britt - Olivia's House podcastKeeshia - Mac Locked Kiss Ink 24 Hour Lip Colour Laura - The Crash on Netflix   Then it's into your questions! IS IT A BAD IDEA TO SLEEP WITH MY EX'S MATE? My ex and I were together for 9 years. The last couple of years were pretty rough. I officially left in September 2025 but didn’t move out straight away. We briefly got back together over December/January for about 5 weeks, but I knew it wasn’t right. I moved out properly in February. We have 2 kids together, and I have them 100% of the time.Anyway, I jumped on Tinder the other night because, honestly, a girl has needs. I came across one of his friends. They used to be really close, but over the last couple of years they barely talk anymore.I always thought he was attractive but obviously never acted on it. We ended up matching and started talking, and we agreed it would just be a one night thing. Neither of us would ever tell my ex, and I genuinely don’t think he would either; he’s not the drama type. So… is this a terrible idea? I’ll probably do it anyway because I trust him, already know him, and find him attractive. Also, I haven’t been with anyone else in almost 10 years, so I’m feeling every emotion right now. DO I KEEP MY WEDDING DRESS AND RING? (CALLED OFF THE WEDDING)I called off my wedding in March last year with 6 weeks to go. However, my fiance and I remained together and tried to work on the relationship. After a year of giving it everything, I finally decided that I could no longer continue the relationship and asked him to move out in March this year. I bought my beautiful wedding dress and also selected and paid for my own ring. My question is, would you keep the wedding dress so you can one day wear it, or is the dress now "tainted" and it's better to sell and buy a new one (if I had another wedding with a different guy). Also, given I paid for the wedding ring, is it weird to wear it on a different hand (like an occasional ring), or is that too sad? IS IT THE NORM TO TELL NEWS PUBLICLY ON SOCIALS SAME TIME AS YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS?Over the past couple of years, I’ve had a few close friends go through major life milestones like engagements, pregnancies and the birth of a baby, and the way that I’ve found out is through Instagram… at the same time as everyone else. I know nobody owes anyone private access to their news, but for me personally, if I had huge life news, I’d instinctively tell my closest friends privately before posting it publicly. So now I’m wondering, is this just the new norm or is this weird and am I justified in feeling a little hurt by it? I also never know whether it’s something worth bringing up with them, or if that just makes it seem bigger than it needs to be.  MY EX CRIED AFTER WE HAD SEX. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? I have an unusual one for you. For context, I was with my partner for a little over a year when we broke up. Now, I recently slept with him after eight months of no contact. And to be honest, it was incredible. But then something happened. He cried immediately after. I don't actually know what this means and I'm too scared to ask. It has been ten days now since the crying sex. What should I do?    TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Britt's apology 1:55 — Vibes of the week 7:52 — Q1: Is it a bad idea to sleep with your ex's mate? 19:48 — Q2: Do I keep my wedding dress and ring after calling it off six weeks out? 26:22 — Q3: Is it normal to find out your friends are engaged/pregnant on Instagram? 36:52 — Q4: My ex cried immediately after we had sex — what does it mean?

Harrison James is an award-winning activist, author, and co-founder of the national law reform campaign #YourReferenceAintRelevant. Before all of that, he was a 13-year-old boy who became a victim of abuse that no child should ever experience. After his parents separated, Harri moved in with his father at 13, seeking connection and a fresh start. What followed was years of grooming and sexual abuse at the hands of his stepmother; abuse that resulted in a pregnancy, a daughter Harri was forced to call his sister, and a web of silence and shame that nearly cost him his life. Harri has since channelled that pain into something extraordinary. His #YourReferenceAintRelevant campaign,which he co-founded with fellow survivor Jarad Grice, has now driven legislative change across multiple jurisdictions, abolishing the use of good character references in the sentencing of convicted sex offenders. He's also the author of Transform Your Pain into Purpose, a part-memoir, part-practical guide for survivors and advocates. We chat: The turbulent household Harri grew up in and why his parents' divorce made him so vulnerable How grooming actually works and why it looks exactly like love and care to a child who's starved of both The moment Harry's dad walked in on the abuse and did nothing What it was like to be a 15-year-old boy secretly caring for his own baby daughter while calling her his sister The day his stepmother fled to the Philippines  How Harry ended up at a mental health facility at 19, and why that saved his life His first experience of good character references: watching them being read aloud at his own father's DV sentencing Why good character references are not just unfair they're the very thing that enables abuse to happen in the first place The long, politically complicated road to law reform, and what's still left to do Harry's partner Bella, their unexpected love story, and the baby girl they're expecting You can follow Harrison on Instagram @itsharrijames You can get Transform Your Pain into Purpose at all good bookstores.

Hey Lifers! Have we been scammed by Meta? Britt is trying to learn Italian but she’s faced some hurdles! We talk about Meta ad scams and the great bot clear out of 2026. Laura shares a story about… how do we encapsulate this?? a reformer Pilates machine, a spread eagle and someone who shouldn’t have been there to see it. We also talk about a new phase of parenting that Laura has entered: her kids have worked out how to play Matt and Laura off against each other. How do you get back on the same page when your kids have found the gap? Shoe Gate 2026. An influencer fight that none of us should care about as much as we do. Here's the timeline: Female founder Lexi Ioannou (daughter of Real Housewives' Dina Manzo) sent a pair of shoes from her brand Nou to Bethenny Frankel. Bethenny wore them multiple times but never tagged the brand. However, when a follower directly asked where the shoes were from, Bethenny linked an affiliate dupe instead. Lexi posted a now-viral callout video. Bethenny said that she did this because the shoes were sold out and that would annoy her followers, and that Lexi has played the ‘short game’ and has some business lessons to learn. We unpack both sides: the value of celebrity endorsement even without a tag, whether the exchange is ‘fair’, whether the affiliate link is the villain, and what it means when a small female-founded brand watches their product get replaced with a paid link.  TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Britt's in Italy and may have been scammed by a language app 9:16 Laura's nanny situation and the thing she shouldn’t have seen 16:00 New parenting phase: the kids are playing mum and dad off against each other 25:19 Shoe Gate 2026: Bethenny Frankel, Lexi Ioannou and the affiliate dupe 49:46 Suck and sweet of the week You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Hosted by Britt Hockley & Keeshia Pettit  Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

TRANSACTIONAL W*NKSo I listened to today’s episode when you asked who is wanking their partner off without sex?! The answer is me. I am doing that and have been for many years! My husband and I have been together for 10 years and he often asks for a wank so casually as if he is asking me to put the kettle on. I don’t even pretend to be in the mood, it almost just feels like a transaction and I have told him this, it doesn’t seem to bother him.  For context, we both have very mismatching libidos. I wouldn’t say he wants sex a lot, probably just the normal amount, but I literally never want it. It comes up as a problem regularly in our relationship but we never seem to do anything about it. I have floated the idea of how he would feel about an open relationship if he feels his needs are not being met but he won’t entertain the idea. I also have said he has 2 perfectly good hands if he wants to sort himself out but that doesn’t work either! I have told him I just don’t enjoy sex and I would happily go the rest of my life without it. I’m never satisfied and I just give in to satisfy him but leaves me feeling icky like I’m just pretending. I never orgasm. Both alone and together we have tried using toys but still no joy! Sorry for the long message but would appreciate any advice to help me stop a lifetime of transactional wanks! GRANDPARENTS DON’T CARE ABOUT MY KID, THEIR 9TH GRAND CHILDMy parents aren't really interested in being grandparents anymore, or that is how it feels. I am the youngest child in my family, when my siblings had children, especially the first 2 my parents were besotted, they saw them everyday, took photos, and showered them with affection. My son is the 9th grandchild and it just feels like they are over it, nothing is exciting or new. They never ask about him, they don't ask for photos, they have never offered to mind him. He is beautiful and well behaved most of the time. They are older now and both have health issues, my sister is also a single mom and they have given her a lot of support. I just spent a week at home and I barely saw them. I am starting to feel very resentful toward my siblings even though it's not their fault. I don't feel like I can say anything but I just feel so sad about it. I don't have one but I am finding motherhood so lonely. My husband's parents have passed and it is really hitting me that we won't have support. Has anybody else been through this? I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MY BROTHERS DESTINATION WEDDING - AM I BEING A BRAT OR REASONABLE?My brother is getting married next year and it’s a destination wedding on a tropical island, but the wedding is the day before my 30th birthday. I know a wedding is obviously a way bigger deal than a birthday, and I’m not expecting everyone to make it about me. But turning 30 feels like a big milestone, and I already know my actual birthday will probably just become the recovery day after his wedding. Because it’s mostly siblings and friends going, I also probably won’t even have my parents with me on the day. What makes it worse is that I’m doing a Master’s, working in a hospital, and completing specialist training, so I’m already flat out. The wedding is also one month before my specialist written exam, so the timing feels awful. I feel guilty saying this, but I genuinely don’t want to go. Am I being a brat, or is this understandable? And how do I tell my brother and family without causing huge drama?For more context, this won’t be my brother’s only wedding. They’re also having a bigger wedding back home with our extended family and all the older relatives, so it’s not like I’d be missing the wedding altogether. Part of why I feel so torn is that this island wedding is mostly made up of the bride’s friends and people from her side. On my brother’s side, it’s really just one of his high school best mate, me, and one cousin he’s close with. So if I don’t go, I honestly feel like there’ll barely be anyone there for him from our side, and that makes me feel really guilty. At the same time, I know I’d probably feel so out of place. Her friends and family are all very glamorous, influencer-type people, and I’m just really not that kind of person. I’m pretty low-key, I barely wear makeup, and I’m not into partying or drinking, so a destination wedding like this just isn’t something I’m excited about at all. I’m also worried that if I do go, I’ll be uncomfortable the entire time and it’ll show all over my face. I really don’t want to bring that energy to his wedding, which almost makes me feel like not going would be better than showing up and clearly not wanting to be there. I’d really love to know what you girls think, because I genuinely can’t tell if I’m being selfish or if this is a fair thing to be so torn over. Thank you so much for reading this and for always helping people make sense of life’s messier situations, it really means a lot. PARTNER HAS TOO MANY HOBBIESMy fiancé, the father of our two children (7 and 4 months old) is a rather social butterfly. He is often out at the pub, fishing, surfing, checking the surf and working 5 days a week on top of that. He very rarely plans anything in advance; it's commonly spontaneous (especially fishing and surfing as its condition based). I feel so frustrated with him as he is out living his life like he’s a bachelor. I try to set a time for him to come home. He’s ALWAYS late anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. I ask him to come home to help with the children and it’s always met with a “yep soon” and that’s always anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. It drives me crazy! When I speak to him about my frustrations and concern about him being out more than he's spending time with his family he meets me with a “well I’m here now and because I want to be” but I feel like he doesn’t. Like if I didn’t ask or set a time he wouldn’t be home for hours! He spends up to 6 -10 hours at a time with his mates at the pub or out doing other stuff with them…is this normal? Am I crazy?

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend nom nom nom nom 🎙️ We kick things off with Keeshia finally receiving the long-awaited Santa sacks of Laura's hand-me-downs only to discover Laura accidentally donated a brand new alpaca shirt she never even wore. With the security tag still on it.  A bloke went viral after using Claude AI to be his girlfriend's boyfriend for two weeks while she was in Bali — morning texts, good night messages, inside jokes, weather updates, the lot. He even coded in a jealousy function.  Next, the "ghost lift" — the cosmetic procedure where surgeons are harvesting fat, skin and rib cartilage from cadavers to inject into the living. Bigger lips, chiselled jaws, breast augmentation. All from dead people. PSA 📣 If you're in Australia, you can no longer register as an organ donor on your driver's licence — you now have to sign up separately at Donate Life  Denmark has officially banned the cry-it-out sleep method, backed by 700 psychologists who say the neuroscience is clear. Laura shares what it was really like in the trenches with Lola, and we discuss what this means for exhausted parents everywhere. Australia is revoking passports of parents who owe child support and an Aussie dad who went viral after being pulled aside by the AFP at the airport before his Bali holiday with his fiancée did not get the sympathy he was looking for.  And finally, we came across a survey of a million women in their 30s asking what they miss about life before the internet. We get into phone use at dinner, always being contactable, the pressure to learn every AI tool before you get left behind, and why we all just want to be properly bored again.

HE'S CHEATING AND I HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE — NOW WHAT? I've been with my partner for almost five years. Long distance, great chemistry. Last weekend I found out he's been living a double life and I caught him via a hiking app. I went full NYPD and connected the evidence back two years. I know I'm the other woman. Do I go along with it, end it, or go nuclear and detonate his entire life? MY EX STARTED GOING TO THE GYM AFTER WE BROKE UP AND I'M FURIOUS For four years I could not get this man to take a 20-minute walk. I suggested the gym approximately 100 times. He said he "just wasn't a gym person." He absolutely is a gym person. He was just not a gym person for me. Do I message him about it? I'M THINKING ABOUT STARTING AN ONLYFANS BUT I'M SCARED I'm 26, working as a DJ, and financially it just makes sense. The thing stopping me isn't the content itself it's what other people might think. My family are conservative, I grew up in a small town and I've moved somewhere that's still not a capital city. Any advice? I LOVE MY KIDS BUT I MISS MYSELF I have two kids and I love them more than I knew it was possible to love anything. But I genuinely grieve the person I was before I became a mum.

Hey Lifers!  Keeshia is back from Bali. If you go on leave, do you want your work team to miss you? Surely we all come back and want to hear how much we are needed! 😂 Happy belated Mother’s Day! Did you celebrate with your own mum or the mother of your children? Nick Cannon most certainly let his thoughts around mother’s day known. We talk about the very online debate over whether Mother's Day belongs to grandmothers or the mums currently in the trenches.  Then, petty exes.

We read your best revenge stories! 60 Minutes Australia released a world exclusive this week called Michael Jackson’s “secret” second family break their silence. Tara Brown sat down with the Cascio family, Michael Jackson's so-called secret second family, who are now speaking out about what they say happened to them.

We talk about the question of whether a biopic co-produced by the subject's own estate can ever be an honest one. ⚠️ Content note: this episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse allegations.

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Ask Uncut - your deepest, darkest and most burning questions, answered.  Today’s episode comes to you slightly compromised. Britt had a few drinks in Italy last night… their wedding photographer Cass arrived with his partner Sarah and, well, “when in Rome” turned into a few too many cocktails. She was up at 5:30am, giant glass of water in hand, ready to earn her bacon. She earned it! Vibes for the week:Britt: Raising Chelsea https://www.disneyplus.com/en-au/browse/entity-0b7ad228-5160-4dde-8a64-bd7c9e7f2ebf Laura: A Bit Hippie Hair Repair Kit https://abithippy.com.au/collections/hair-treatments?srsltid=AfmBOooqgRYDlZikT0tq8IB2dgd3pHYKVp1-XPr4pGaPtN_VoUU1Nceb Then we get into your questions! MY PARTNER AND I ARE HAVING A BABY SOON Won't ramble on about how he is a great partner otherwise I wouldn't have chosen him to be my person…The only problem we have is that like most young people these days we used to do cocaine, not a lot..just a few times a year. Mostly at special occasions with friends. Now in our 30's since we started trying for a baby I stopped drinking/drugs to give it our best chance to conceive. My partners use has become more and more regular in the past year, he will bender for a whole weekend once and month and spend $1000+. I thought he would have changed in this new season in our lives together. He tells me he will change when the baby comes. I think he should be supporting this new life now as it makes me really anxious for our future. We have been battling this for a year, constant fighting, I told him how it upsets me when he does it so often. I care about his health, his job, the wasted finances, a possible addiction etc. He tells me he won't change, it's not a big deal as he only does it once a month and it's not a daily/weekly thing and I'm a hypocrite because I used to do it. The last fight we had was really bad because he promised me we wouldn't anymore and then a few days later I caught him doing it. I was so upset | left and stayed with my parents for a few days.. he begged me to come back and that things would change, they haven't. We have been battling this for a year, constant fighting. I love him but it hurts me so much, it feels like he doesn't respect me at all. And the stress on top of being pregnant is not good for me. What should I do? Am I overreacting? Is it not that big of a deal? Do I wait and see if the baby will change him? Is this a dealbreaker? It doesn't feel that easy now as there will be a baby involved. Any advice would be great TO MOVE OR NOT TO MOVE My best friend got engaged last year, and recently we were talking about timelines for weddings. She basically said that if someone in your close circle (like a best friend or cousin) is engaged before you, it’s kind of “rude” to get married before them, like there’s an unspoken order you should follow. Apparently in her family/social circle, people wait their turn so no one “cuts in” with their wedding, and it’s caused actual fallouts when people didn’t follow that. I had literally NEVER heard of this and thought weddings were just whenever suits the couple? But now I’m second guessing myself. She spoke about waiting for her to have her moment before anyone else can have theirs. Personally, I don’t care about my “moment”, I just want to marry the love of my life when it suits us. Is there actually an unspoken etiquette around not getting married before friends who got engaged first? Or is this just a cultural/family-specific thing MY FRIEND WON'T SET ME UP I recently had a friend tell me that she was too busy to organise a set up with a guy whom she had suggested to me without organising. For context: I’m the only single friend in a group of 7 people. This has meant countless weddings, baby showers, first birthdays and general catch ups where I am attending on my own. My friends have struggled to understand the impact that this has on me and at 32, I find all of these interactions pretty hard. Recently my friend told me that a colleague potentially knew someone who they could set me up with, without me even asking for her to do this. When I tried to follow up 2 months later to casually see what the go is (after being ghosted by a guy I liked and having minimal support), she bluntly told me that she and her colleague had been too busy at work. I tried to say that it had been two months so was just curious and I got a list of why she had been too busy. I feel like as the single friend I am constantly turning up for everyone with minimal return; I’ve listened to this friend talk about her fertility struggles and her co-parenting struggles with her step child, and I also listen to her work stressors. I’m also working in a high pressure job as well as living on my own and carry the burden of this on my own with most friends too preoccupied with their partners and children to listen or let me debrief. Am I being overly sensitive or should I raise with her how it made me feel to shut me down and say she had been too busy to send a text CAN YOU USE BINS I was on a walk with my friend the other day and we grabbed a takeout coffee. To add context we were walking around our suburb and it was bin day. Once I finish my coffee, I put it in someone’s bin that was on the curb. Now this bin had already been collected so it was empty but I still put my coffee cup in it. She said that that is so rude and I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t see an issue with it because it was a little coffee cup and it was a bit. What are your thoughts on this?

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend num num 🎙️ The Met Gala happened and we need to talk about the nipples. All the Kardashians coordinated sheer looks with visible nipples and Britt is calling it... this was a business decision, something Skims is coming. We also cover Kim's limo vlog, the Olympian who shot actual bubbles from her gown, Blake Lively showing up post-trial completely unbothered, and Zendaya quietly pulling the pin, which might be its own statement. Then a Reddit thread where men explained why they didn’t propose or finally left. One had “one foot out the door for years.” Another said the sex was “dog shit” but he was “too emotionally weak to end it.” We get into fertility vampires and why “I didn’t want to hurt her” isn’t landing the way they think it is. Next, a UK corporate worker who suspected her job might not be real and quietly did almost nothing for a year to test it. She sent a 15-minute task list on Monday mornings and a couple of emails to show she was online. No one noticed. She had to quit herself! We debate whether it’s actually her fault and how much work people are really doing anyway... It's Sir David Attenborough100th Birthday!! We celebrate accordingly.  And we close with Holly Butcher’s viral letter, written at 27 before she passed from cancer, urging us to whinge less and give more - her perspective on life is worth sitting with this Saturday morning. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Are we still doing the Met Gala?

Hey Lifers! Laura had a very unexpected visitor pop into her ToniMay store in Bondi - none other than Sydney Sweeney, who came in with her best friend and walked out with two bespoke solid gold pieces. The thing is, there had been zero press about Sydney being in Sydney (yes, really) - so did this little shopping trip and Laura’s socials accidentally out her location?  Britt's update comes with a hot warning, and we mean that literally. During a lovely morning in bed with her husband in Italy, she managed to burn herself in a very unfortunate place with a very hot coffee. We’ll say no more… And in other news: Laura's daughter Marlie-Mae has a new best friend. It's a snail. She's already been scoping out enclosures. We support this era. We unpack all things The Devil Wears Prada. The iconic cast reunited to dish on fashion faux pas, and we took the opportunity to go deep on the trends we are absolutely not letting back through the door.  And then there's Emily Blunt, who is copping serious backlash online after telling fans to quit their jobs and chase their creative dreams, even if it means making "no money." Easy to say when you're Emily Blunt? Or genuinely good advice? We get into it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:01 - Sydney Sweeney walks into the ToniMay Bondi store! 7:50 - Britt's update: the great Italy coffee burn incident 13:19 - Marlie-Mae's new pet snail & the terrarium saga 20:22 - Devil Wears Prada 2 - the sequel, the cast, and the cultural shift in fashion 29:40 - Fashion faux pas: what we never want to see return  36:00 - Emily Blunt's "just quit your job" advice - tone deaf or actually real talk? 51:42 - Suck & Sweet  You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Video & Audio Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!
