Life Uncut

Hey Lifers,
Welcome back to your weekly venting session where we unpack all of your deep, dark and dirty questions!
It was our 5th birthday but we missed it... We reflect on what the last 5 years have meant and you're all the fkn best for listening to this podcast and helping us create this community!

WE HAVE A NEW HOME FOR OUR VIBES!!

Laura: One Life film

Keeshia: Book - Everyone Here Is Lying

Then we jump into your questions:

WEDDING SAVE THE DATES
I’m getting married at the end of this year, we sent the save the dates February this year. Since then we have lost touch with a friend (never see them, never talk to them over social media etc) they are still close friends with mutual friends of ours. If you send someone a save the date, do you have to follow through with the invitation? There’s no other aspect of money being an issue or anything like that, just purely aren’t close with them now and don’t foresee us being close in the future?

PARTNER WANTS TO TELL GROCERY STORE, I WANT TO KEEP THE REFUND
My partner and I can’t agree. He collected our grocery order tonight for $140 worth and they have had IT issues so we never got the message to say our ‘direct to boot’ order is ready so he went inside the store to grab it. Two hours later we got a message to say our order has to be cancelled and we will be refunded due to IT issues. I think they will take the refund as they are a huge company - we spend at least $300 weekly (family of four- 3 kids in nappies🙈). We are farmers in drought struggling to make ends meet so I think treat it like winning the lottery. He thinks we should ring them to let them know we got the order. I know he is morally right but surely sometimes you have to just take a win. What do you think? 

DATING SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T QUITE FIT WHAT I PICTURED

I’m 28 and have never been in a relationship. A couple of years ago I wrote a list of my ideal man; ambitious, funny, chatty, reliable etc so when I was dating I wouldn’t entertain anyone who wasn’t right for me. I’m in the early stages of dating someone and he ticks everything off the list: he’s really great, I feel safe with him and my friends love him. There’s one small thing that’s niggling at but as I haven’t been in a relationship before I’m still figuring it out. I always pictured myself with someone being the centre of his friend group, could dominate a room, in a sense a bit cocky. But this guy isn’t quite like that! I’m not saying that he’s not confident, but I suppose it looks different to how I envisioned it. I realise I’m overthinking and doubting but any thoughts or advice?

Hey Lifers,

First up, have you seen Avatar or Brokeback mountain? They're life changing apparently!
We had a group dinner with some podcast friends that didn't end with Biden stepping back from being a presidential candidate but did end with a huge penis.

Laura has called for a welfare check on someone and created an enemy in the process!

We are seeing an increase in people publicly sharing their breakups on social media, something that previously was almost exclusively done by celebrities. 
Over the past week we saw two opposite types of break up posts. One was from the Princess of Dubai, Sheikha Mahra & the other was a joint statement from Maya Jama and Stormzy. But why are people sharing this kind of content online? Is it for closure? Is it for clarity? Is it for clout?

Then we get into your questions:

TRADIES IN HOUSE

Recently we have been having renovations done to our house, meaning lots of trades coming and going. Tradies were literally arriving at our house and not long after were requesting to use the toilet and doing number 2s (with the sound effects). Not just a once off; this was happening everyday of the renos. Am I the only one to think this is not acceptable? My husband was a lot more understanding than I was; maybe because I’m the one who had to clean it!?). Should tradies not ask to use the toilet if they need to do a poo or am I just being very unreasonable!!

DOES YOUR PARTNER INTERACT WITH YOU AT THE END OF THE DAY?

My boyfriend's default after coming home from work is to be on his phone , watch reels, news, stocks etc. I have told him before to give me attention for a few minutes and just be nice to me so I feel loved. Tonight, Friday night, I'm home from work and looking out onto the balcony as if it's a nice sunset. He comes home, says hi (the door is right across from the balcony ) and sits on the sofa and starts looking at phone. (I was expecting him to walk over to me and give me a hug and kiss). I ask him to come out to the balcony and he says no and continues looking at phone. After a few minutes I ask him to give me some attention (exact words: "babe can you give me some attention?") He throws his phone down and says "stop complaining" and goes into the bedroom and doesn't come out for 45mins. He came out later to the living room and said sorry but he was upset. I asked him to come outside, and he didn't want to. He thinks I'm dramatic and I create a scene ....What do you think? Is it normal to want to be greeted at the end of a work day or am I expecting something that isn’t normal?

SIS IN LAW SHOWER WITH MY DAUGHTER

My sister in law has showered my daughter with her a couple of times, which I don’t feel comfortable with. My biggest issue is that she never asks if it is okay before doing it. I have mentioned it to my husband but he didn’t really think it was a big deal. How do you bring the conversation up without creating an argument because his family is always on the defence about everything I saw and did.

Hey Lifers,

Conversations about the end of our lives and the end of the lives of the people we love are hard. Sometimes they’re so hard that we completely avoid them and we can put ourselves in situations where we don’t know how to manage the last part of a loved one’s life. With that being said you might assume that today’s conversation would be a bit of a difficult listen, but hospice nurse Julie somehow makes it light, interesting and even humorous!
Hospice Nurse Julie aka Julie McFadden started educating people about death on tiktok and has grown to have over 3 million followers. 

In today’s chat we speak about:

• Julie’s nursing life showing her that prolonging life wasn’t always the best option
• Processing and accepting the idea of letting someone go
• Death bed phenomenon like the rally & visioning
• Voluntary euthanasia. How it works and what it is
• Some of Julie’s experiences witnessing people’s last breath
• The most common thing people regret
• What to expect from a loved one’s death

Julie has a brand new book out called Nothing to Fear

Hey Lifers,

Delilah has been kicked out of dog school. Again!
Britt shares how she feels like it's a reflection of her and it turns out that pretty privilege also exists in the canine world!
Very sadly, Laura's nan passed away last week. We speak about the concept of the 'rally' where people in the last stage of life seem to have the fog lifted. Laura got to enjoy this moment with her nana. 

Have you ever heard of a shut up ring? What about a shut up move?

We unpack these ideas and how we determine where the line between nagging and good communication is. 

Is it always ‘if they wanted to he would’ or do some people need prompting?

Whether you feel satisfied with a shut up move because you got what you wanted, just not in the way that you wanted it.

Hey Lifers,

Then we jump into your questions!

SHOULD I TELL MY HUSBAND I SLEPT WITH HIM
I’ve moved back to the town I grew up in and had a situation where I recognised a tradie that came to our property… I had slept with him! I didn’t mention it to my husband but then I had a thought that maybe I should have told him. I would never lie if he asked outright but now I don’t know if I need to divulge this information voluntarily. Just to add, I didn’t speak to him at all, he didn’t see me and he won’t be returning. It was purely a short fling and it was so long ago who knows if he’d recognise me back. What are your thoughts?

HOW TO STOP OBSESSING WHEN DATING
I’m 35 and in the dreaded dating scene. I’ve just been ghosted suddenly after a few great dates and what felt like a really good connection forming. How do I stop obsessing over what I may have done wrong and what could’ve been. I feel like this will make my dating anxiety even worse. I feel like I’m losing all hope that I’ll ever meet someone that actually likes me back.

SHOULD HE BE CONTRIBUTING FINANCIALLY
I moved to another country to be with my partner. I have said that it’s really important for me to go back home twice a year (4hr international flight, but it’s also a 4hr drive to the airport). Some of my friends and family mentioned that they reckon he should be contributing financially to me going home because I’m the one that moved away. I've always just paid but it did get me thinking and I think it sounds reasonable that he helps me out (he makes significantly more than me) but he doesn’t think so. We’ve been together for a few years now and don’t have any shared finances. What do you guys think?

CHEATING NOTE ON MY CAR
I met the greatest guy ever! My family adore him and he treats me so well. We were living in an apartment complex in a main city where we had an external car park with allocated parking. One day on my way to work, I noticed a note on my windscreen. When I pulled over to read the note, it said, "he cheated on you babe." As soon as I read it, I instantly thought, nope, this isn't for me but as I got to work I kept thinking about it. I started to get upset and told my boss I wasn't feeling well and had to leave. When I confronted my partner, I told him if it's true, let's just talk it over because I can appreciate people who make mistakes. He remained very confident in saying this was not true and he was upset that someone would do something like this. What are your thoughts on this? Would you believe a note someone left on your car, without a contact name or number over someone you loved? Why are people such assholes?

Joining the pod today for an exclusive interview is the wonderful Frankie Muniz; the beloved child actor who starred as Malcolm in "Malcolm in the Middle" and has now made a name for himself as a NASCAR driver. Britt and Frankie were campmates in the "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here jungle and it was so nice to continue those in depth and personal conversations with Frankie.

We spoke about:

• How Frankie got into acting and landed the role of Malcolm at just 8 years old.
• How getting into acting isn’t an exact process. It’s likely due to chance
• The rules of child acting and how schooling worked
• The sacrifices that his family made to enable his career to exist
• Child actor finances -the reality of child actor earnings and financial management
• Frankie's experience with his manager stealing money
• Avoiding rebellion: Why Frankie didn't follow the typical rebellious path of many child stars.
• Transition to racing & what inspired him to switch gears and pursue a career in NASCAR.
• The type of dad he wants to be
