Hey Lifers!
We're in with our last ask uncut of the year! Britt is in Scotland and scaring strangers in her apartment complex. 
Have you experienced a bit of a sliding doors moment with your partner? Maybe your paths almost crossed before you actually met, or something happened and it meant that things could be so different to what they are now!

We have a chat about a woman who is going viral for a post she made about how she wasn't attracted to her husband. It's getting...mixed reviews!

Vibes for the week:
Britt: movie - Promising Young Women
Laura: Netflix doco Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife

Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning quesitions!

I’ve been with my husband for 13 years. Recently an openly gay dude who he’s acquaintances with started sending him messages at all hours of the night telling my husband how much he likes him and that he can’t stop thinking about what his

GRANDPARENTS WANT WEIRD TITLES THAT WE HATE
My husband and I have a problem, we are 5 months pregnant with our first child and my in-laws have been thinking about what they want to be called. Now, I’m happy for it not to be the typical grandma and grandpa etc if they don’t want but they have just called my husband to let him know that my MIL wants to be called cougey and my FIL has picked Ockey. (I don’t know how they would be spelt but they sound like koo ghee and ock ee.) We don't like these names and think they are weird, and could be confusing for our baby when she grows up. We don’t want to hurt their feelings but we also don’t want to have to refer to them as these strange names forever. How can we approach this with them or is it something they have every right to choose on what to be called by our child?


DO I PRETEND IT'S GREAT?
If a partner plans something for an event such as birthday, Mother’s Day, etc and you are disappointed, do you pretend it’s great? Or let them know you're disappointed? A couple of times I’ve expected a bit more planning from my partner and been disappointed but felt guilty for feeling this way. Are my expectations too high and is anything better than nothing? I should mention I’ve told him that I’m a sentimental person when it comes to milestones



DO I CALL BULLSHIT OR IS THIS ‘NORMAL’ THESE DAYS?
I’ve been dating a guy for 6 months (after his marriage of 2 years ago and 2 kids ended). Due to this I’ve given him space in anything too heavy about committing etc. About a month ago I asked him if he was on the apps and he said no, we haven’t had anymore “exclusive” chats. I’ve found out this week that he has liked one of my best mates pictures on hinge (who he’s met). He says it was an accident & he went on there because he was bored. Do I call bullshit on this? My male friend says that blokes need validation and until you tell them your boundaries and commit, it’s fair game. He wants to talk it through and get on the same page but I am unsure if I want to bother. I have been single for 10 years and had hopes for this. He has all the qualities that I’m looking for but he seems emotionally immature. He hasn’t told me his feelings for me yet but he clearly likes me. 
Is my bar too high or is this just what we would expect nowadays?

Ask Uncut - Ungrateful Mother's Day and is the dating bar too high?

Joining the podcast today is comedian, TV personality and camp mate from the South African jungle Stephen K Amos! 
Britt got to know Stephen in their month in Africa together and they formed a special friendship built on some very personal and impactful conversations. Stephen joins us today with some of the funniest accidentally unfiltered stories (yes, plural) that we have ever heard!
Stephen is such a laugh and a half and as funny as he is, he is equally as deep and thoughtful. 
We spoke about:

Time in the jungle 
His life growing up in a Nigerian family in South London
Expectations and being a ‘role model’ when he didn’t expect to be
Always being labelled as a ‘Black comedian’ and eventually ‘Black, gay comedian’
Push back on political comedy ‘ruining’ comedy
Stephen’s encounter with the Pope and his unexpected response to Stephen’s sexuality 
Performing for the Royal family
Accepting himself and his body; wearing shorts for the first time EVER in the jungle

Uncut with Stephen K Amos - The People Who Were the Butt of the Joke Now Have a Voice

Hey Lifers,
Today didn't quite go to plan! Laura's car broke down on the way to work so Producer Keeshia is filling in for her.
Britt got ... locked in a sauna. She quite literally was stuck in there waiting for Wim Hof to finish his meditative ice bath!
How do you feel about being in the background of someone's video at the gym? 
Keeshia found herself in this predicament and felt really uncomfortable. 
Then we have a chat about Piers Morgan's interview with the woman who is being labelled as the 'real Martha from Baby Reindeer'.
We question:

Whether interviews like this are exploitative and cross ethical boundaries
Whether she has the right to defend herself
Who is 'more' in the wrong; Netflix, Richard Gadd, Piers Morgan or the alleged stalker?
Who owns a story?
Whether it changes your opinion of the show
