Life Uncut

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,
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep and burning questions!
Laura has had to deal with our worst nightmare; it involves gastro and a child burrito. 

Vibes for the week:
Britt: The Beautiful Game on Netflix
Keeshia: The Rest is Entertainment podcast
Laura: App "Juggle Street"

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

Hey Lifers!

We are BACK from a little holiday and feeling refreshed, but truthfully still as unhinged as ever! 
Britt made a big hotel mistake and Laura admitted that Matt was right to be annoyed about something she did when she went away.
At the time of recording, media outlets across the world have reported that Margot Robbie is pregnant, despite not having it confirmed by Margot or her husband. It feels like we're not living in 2024.

Just over a week ago Miss Universe from 2012 Olivia Culpo married NFL player Christian McCaffrey. Her wedding attire and subsequent interview with Vogue has cause quite the stir with the question of whether her dress was meant to impress or suppress.
We unpack the internet's response to her interview and weigh in on whether we think it's a conservative campaign with a side of Madonna whore, or if she should be able to choose whatever wedding dress she wants for any reasons she likes!

IS IT RUDE TO LEAVE WEDDING BEFORE BRIDE AND GROOM?

Is it rude to leave a wedding before the bride and groom? I have always thought you shouldn’t leave before the couple. But, recently at a wedding heaps of people were leaving early and now I am wondering if I was wrong or if people have just given up on this notion.

HE DOUBLED DOWN ON WHY HE GHOSTED ME

A guy I was dating for a month ghosted me 2 months ago and I didn’t bother following up because we both kind of knew we didn't like each other enough. (He was really hot though so I wouldn't have minded something casual). Fast forward 2 months to now, he decided to call me randomly out of the blue and when I asked his reason for calling, he said he had been reflecting and felt bad that he ghosted and wanted to formally tell me that he didn't think we were compatible. He then went into the reasons why we wouldn't work out. I don't know what's worse: being ghosted or having a ghost pop back up to tell you why he ghosted?? I had a little hope that he wanted to try dating again but he literally just doubled down on why he thought we wouldn't work out. Any thoughts on what's worse?

HOW TO WIPE YOUR BUM

My friend and I are having a SERIOUS debate… about how to wipe your bum. We’ve settled that we’re both TP folders and not scrunchers, but we wipe our poops SO differently. Please help, do you:

1. Sit on the toilet, reach underneath between your legs and wipe that way?
2. Sit on the toilet, reach around the back and wipe from that angle? OR,
3. Stand up and wipe??

I’m option B, she’s option A and she thinks I’m absolutely crazy for doing so…. Am I? I also occasionally go for option C so I think I’m just fucked up but would love to hear yours and the lifers thoughts. We also settled on wiping from both back to front, or front to back, it just depends on the situation down there…. Is that normal too? Thank you 🤣💩

We've had conversations about men's violence against women and domestic violence on this podcast for 5 years, but to say that it's still a huge problem in Australia would be an understatement. Many people feel as though we've been speaking about this for decades. It's time that men were a part of the conversation and the solution. This episode with Tarang should help you have those conversations with the men in your life. 

Tarang Chawla is a keynote speaker, writer, broadcaster, advocate and academic at Monash University. He is also the co-founder of ‘Not One More Niki', an organisation working to end men’s violence against women.
Tarang’s younger sister Niki (Nikita) was murdered by her former partner in 2015. She was 23 years old. Tarang has worked tirelessly to educate people about the cultural, political and individual factors that can contribute to men’s violence with the goal of reducing men’s violence.

In our conversation we spoke about:

• The patterns of behaviour that lead to violence
• Creating a solution focussed conversation with people who say ‘not all men’.
• What has changed in the past decade surrounding domestic violence awareness in the public and in government
• How men can be the solution
• Tarang’s personal opinions on ‘justice’ for murderers
• Why media and institutions shape the narrative of who the perpetrators of violence
• How we teach boys and girls about their place in the world
