Life Uncut

Hey Lifers!
Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt today!
Today's episode takes a stroll down a few different avenues.

Laura forgot that she had a pap smear and went to have one again... ironically we spoke about it on the podcast the last time Keeshia filled in.

We discuss whether there's a hesitation at the moment for people to be diagnosed with ADHD because it's become very popular on TikTok/in the media. Keeshia has been properly diagnosed and we will do a whole episode where we unpack it at some point.

What do we want when we talk about people having cosmetic procedures? Do we want transparency or does that 'normalise' it to the point of it being promotion?
Is it fair to expect people to buck the trend and 'age' naturally when they also are a product of the societal pressures to remain 'beautiful?'

Plus Laura speaks about the current ebbs and flows of her relationship at the 1 year wedding anniversary mark. We unpack the intimacy paradox and how to keep desire in long term relationships. Is it even possible to expect novelty and spiciness when you also want stability, support and reliability from your partner?

Hey Lifers!
Welcome back to your ask uncut therapy session! Today is a biggie because Laura is back and covid free.
Britt's been hogtied and mortified from the little ratbag that is Delilah. Laura's luggage is finally back in her hands so the life updates are full of highs and lols today.

We break down possibly the pettiest court case to exist in the celebrity space between Robert De Niro and his ex assistant Chase Robinson. It's time to pick your fighter and choose your side.
He claims she stole $60,000 worth of frequent flyer miles and watched 55 hours worth of Friends in 4 days.
She claims he was inappropriate and asked her to scratch his back and be available to book bus tickets for his kids on the day of her grandmother's funeral.
It really could be the plot line for a movie. Would De Niro play himself?

Vibes for this week:
Laura - Prime video "shiny happy people"

Britt - Netflix Last Stop Larrimah

Keeshia - The Quokkas kids music group

Then we jump into your questions!

-I have been dating this guy for a few weeks and we get on really well. But his driving is so bad, he spends more time looking at me than the road. He rides/pumps the accelerators and is so harsh on the break. It makes me feel so sick. I haven’t ever gotten car sick but twice now his driving has made me feel so sick that I have had to end the date a little early. Should I say anything? How can I see a future with someone that constantly makes me car sick

-I work in the corporate world and get paid 8:30-5. Currently my workload has been good so I have been able to leave at 5:30 most days. When I have a lot of work I will work back late and have even worked on public holidays (unpaid). There are other juniors in my team (who have less experience than me) who always stay back until around 6pm, so essentially I’m usually the first junior to leave. I’m almost always the first person to arrive. I also have more experience so generally am more efficient, will often work through lunch and won’t chat for super long during the day. I’m worried our bosses don’t see this effort and just see me leave first every day. I’m also worried that the other juniors don’t think I’m working as hard as them, as there have been some comments that they stay late every day and I feel they’re subtly aimed at me.

-I'm a single mum of 3 young kids, I’ve been separated for 7 months now.. I haven’t had any interest in meeting or sleeping with anyone but I’ve recently developed a crush on one of the coaches at my gym! I was with my husband for 12 years, married for 8 (I’m 34 for context) so my question is, I have no idea how to show him I’m keen/put the feelers out.. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to date me as I have a lot of baggage but I’d be happy with a shag 😆 but also would it be too complicated because I then have to see him regularly? Such a dating rookie, don’t know what to do 🙈

-I am starting to feel real down about my lack of love life. I feel like all my friends are getting engaged or married and I’m the only one left single. I'm nearing 30 and came out of a toxic relationship 3 years ago where my partner was having an affair, he moved on straight away. I have been on dating apps and I’m not sure if it’s my city or what but it’s the bottom of the barrel and I don’t want to waste my time with people who don’t have similar values or a lifestyle that aligns with mine. I’m very independent and fine alone but have reached a stage where I want someone to share my life with. I honestly feel like I’m going to have to wait for people to start getting divorced at this rate or going to have to literally move cities just to find someone. I'm starting to avoid going out or catching up with friends as it always feels like I’m the only one alone and not with a partner, and when I do go I end up feeling really sad and alone. I throw myself into working too much so I don’t have time to feel sad because it’s really starting to affect my confidence and is making me feel like there’s something inherently wrong with me. I want kids someday and I don’t want to wait too late. I know there are options to do it solo but I was raised by a solo parent and I don’t want that to be my life. Do you have any advice?

Joining the podcast today is the newest official member to the Life Uncut family Sam Fischer!

Sam just finished touring around the country and opening our live shows! Not only is he just the BEST & we genuinely have so much love for him but he's also hilarious and a real 'heart' person who shares so openly and makes everyone around him feel safe enough to be vulnerable themselves. Something we learnt about Sam along the tour is that he had a really interesting start to the music world & a complex relationship with his family.
We chat:

• Having a song as big as 'This City' catapult him into the spotlight and then the pandemic hitting
• The pressure to follow up on that success
• Navigating a really complex relationship with his dad
• What led to him eventually cutting contact 
• Whether his bad relationship with his dad has affected his want to have kids of his own
• How men can be really self conscious about hair loss/going bald

You can follow Sam on Instagram

From the highest of live show tour highs, to the depths of viral lows, we've had quite the week. Laura's luggage is on a little journey of it's own and is...most likely... still in Brisbane (*trying to get more info on this).

Laura, Producer Keeshia and Mitch have all fallen like dominos from covid and somehow Britt's immune system is still going strong. 

There's a neuroscientist who has claimed that there are chemical reasons that women fall in love with men when they are having sex; whereas it's not quite the same for men. The science is a bit up for debate but Laura has some anecdotal evidence she'd like to bring to the table.

We also unpack a newsletter sent by the headmaster of the Sydney all boys private school where Lilie James was murdered where he labelled her murderer as 'not a monster.'
These types of character descriptions, along with other accounts of positive personality traits are a way for people to distance themselves from the idea that they know someone capable of such violence. We don't want to think that a person we know or care about is capable of such evil behaviour. A huge part of breaking down the false perception that society has around domestic violence is that we need to better understand that these men are 'normal' men, who live where we do and hold normal jobs. 

We also discuss how certain media using phrases like 'scorned lover' diminishes the responsibility from the murderer, and contributes to victim blaming.

Hey Lifers!

We're coming in hot after the very last live show last night in Brisbane! What a whirlwind month! Thank you so, so much to every one of you who came and had a ball with us at the shows; they were really a dream come true.

Vibes for this week:
Laura: Dear Jane podcast
Britt: Wagatha Christy on Disney plus

Then we jump into your questions that are very friendship based dilemmas this week!

• My best friend, and I have been besties for about seven years. A couple of months ago we both went travelling separately. I went with my boyfriend and she went on her own as she had broken up with her partner, so she went overseas for a holiday to find herself. She met a guy over there who she is now living with. I never saw an issue with it, and never raised any flags until she ran into some trouble and needed help from me, her mum and her “ex- boyfriend” back home. This is when it all unravelled for her. It turns out she never broke up with the boy from home and has been lying and cheating on him for a couple months. I had to tell him that she was cheating on him. I had to break her boyfriend's heart and tell him the truth about what she had been doing overseas. We found out that she actually intended to move overseas for this other guy, and she just left her boyfriend at home sitting around waiting for her to return from her 6 week holiday. My question is, how can I go back to being friends with her after she’s lied, manipulated me and put me in a very uncomfortable position with her boyfriend!?? How can I trust her again?! Plus this is the second time in our friendship that I have been in this position!
• I was having a few glasses of wine on Saturday night scrolling through tinder when I came across my ex besties, ex situationship. She has always said it was just purely sex and she didn’t ever really like him that much. I swipe him a like and we match, he messages me being very flirty asking if I am still living with my ex bestie as he would love to come over and see me. We move to Snapchat and things get hot 🥵 I no longer talk to my ex bestie and it seems she is in a very happily one year relationship. Should I feel bad for wanting to have sex with him because I feel no shame whatsoever. He’s very cute and I’m very tempted to text him to come over, but I know it will lead to sex, what should I do?
• I met a guy on hinge, it’s been 5 weeks and things have been going great. Early on he told me that he’s slept with one of his current housemates a few months before I met him whilst he was drunk, twice. He said there was nothing between them although she did have feelings for him which was one sided. I’ve always struggled with boundaries and am pretty uncomfortable with the whole thing but am well aware it’s pretty early days. At what point do I bring this up and what’s reasonable to expect?

Hey Lifers!
Today is...chaos. We are wrapping up the final live show in Brisbane tonight and they have been so incredible!

We first unpack a very viral story that involves some information that you couldn't torture out of us. There is simply no going back from this glory hole experience.

We also talk about the new program being funded by the Aus government in an effort to tackle harmful messages of toxic masculinity on social media. Is a project in schools able to contrast the influence of people like Andrew Tate?

If you'd like to listen to our episode with Will McMahon on Toxic Masculinity you can here!
