• Are We All Hate Watching With Love, Meghan? And The Rules Around Bachelor Parties.

  Hey Lifers!Straight off the b̶a̶c̶k̶ bat, how do you feel about the sound of exhaust fans?Are they the bane of your existence or are you normal? We have a devastating update about Britt's hens entertainment and checks notes it is not appropriate to ask if the entertainment should come to our workplace. Noted.Ben has had his bucks party and it was a little less of a rager than what Britt anticipated. We ended up having a bit of a deeper conversation about what the 'rules' of hens/bucks parties are, the length of the 'leash' and being in a relationship with genuine trust and how that feels really different to previous relationships. Why are people hate-watching Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Love, Meghan? Why do we hate watch or hate follow anyone?We unpack the how these factors play into why we might consume content from people that we really don't like: Confirmation bias. If you already think someone is awful, watching their content (and finding more reasons to dislike them) reinforces that belief. The need for comparison. Hate-watching gives us a way to feel superior. Schadenfreude—the joy of watching a train wreck Participation in a bigger conversation Algorithms LOVE outrage! We'd love to know if you hate follow or hate watch anyone/anything? Are they a celebrity/public figure or someone you know in your own life?

• Ask Uncut -My Train Of Thought Is Not Normal

  Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack all of your deep and burning questions. Britt is broken from dancing and we decided it was the right time to have a bit of an intervention with her. She is upset by Laura and Keeshia going behind her back but they're sticking to their nostrils. Vibes for the week:Britt and Laura - Devil in the family on Disney plus Keeshia - Koala Luxe Mattress Then we jump into your questions! HOW DO I GET MY IDENTITY BACK AS A MUM?I want to start off by saying I absolutely love being a mum and I am grateful everyday that I have two beautiful girls. This didn’t come easy for my partner and I and had a few losses along our journey. My question is how do you find your identity after becoming a mum? My youngest is 12 weeks old and oldest is 2 and right now my life is consumed with being a mum. I feel a bit lost and find myself missing who I was before. I avoid mirrors when I can because I don’t recognise the person looking back at me. I want to be the best role model for my girls and I’m worried if I can’t find myself again I won’t be able to do this for them. During the labour of my second I was listening to random episodes of the Podcast to take my mind off the contractions. I didn’t realise I still had my headphones on when I started to push and my daughter was born to the sound of Britt's laugh! SHOULD I HOOK UP WITH HIM AGAIN AFTER I SH*T DURING SEX?My ex and I broke up in October. Recently, we’ve been reconnecting for a bit of company and casual fun. Last weekend, I popped over to his place for a chill lunch hangout, which of course eventually led to some steamy playtime. It was one of those really hot days, so we decided to have a shower session. Things got hot and steamy, and he started touching me in all the right places with his hand. As things really started to heat up I said “Fuck me!” He replied with a cautious “babe,” but when I turned back - I was hit with a shock I’ll never forget. His finger was covered in a thick smear of gooey, brown diarrhoea. It was my first time experiencing such an unsexy disaster, and needless to say, I was mortified. We quickly washed off, agreeing that “we can’t come back from this one.” Now it’s become a core memory I can’t shake. So here’s my dilemma: should I put the brakes on our casual escapades, or might a second round (with a strategic bathroom break this time) help us wipe the slate clean? HOW TO TELL MY HUSBAND HE HAS NEVER MADE ME COME?I’m a female, married and am in my late 20’s. I’ve always enjoyed sex, but as I’ve gotten older, my sex drive has declined. This has become a point of tension in my marriage, as my husband has always maintained his sex drive. In an effort to reconnect with my body and bring some excitement back into our sex life, I recently bought my first vibrator. While exploring, I made an embarrassing discovery—I’ve never actually orgasmed from my husband or most past partners, and I’ve always wondered if I even could. However, I did experience it once with a previous partner, which has made this realisation even more confusing. Now, I’ve learned that I can do it myself, and I don’t quite know how to process that. I love my husband deeply, and I know this revelation would hurt him. I don’t want him to feel inadequate, but I also want to be honest so that we can improve our intimacy together. How do I approach this conversation? HOLIDAY WITH FRIEND OR SEE LONG DIST POTENTIAL LOML?Last year I went on a uni exchange. In the last few weeks there I met a British guy who I genuinely believe could be my person. Since then we have kept in contact, and have met in Bali and again back in the uk for a few weeks later in the year. My dilemma now is that I have agreed to go on a cruise with my friend in April. For context with this friend: she has been my best friend for a few years but because of some things that happened last year, she now lives with my ex boyfriend (of four years) and a few other people who don’t run in my circle anymore. This has made our relationship challenging recently and this cruise (with her entire family) could really be a make or break situation for us. HOWEVER - I have just found out that this is the only time in the entire year (he studies med and gets little holidays) that my British boy would be able to come out and visit for a few weeks. Having the cruise smack bang in the middle of these weeks means that the trip wouldn’t be worth the money for him if I’m only going to be there half the time (we’re broke uni students!!!). SO my question is: how terrible of a friend am I, and/or will this ruin my friendship if I prioritise seeing the potential love of my life over this cruise with my best friend?Also a bit more context: she was SO excited when I told her I was going to come on the cruise, and has not been overly supportive of this British man I’ve been obsessing over. So I really feel like me doing this would be taken very personally and I’m worried that we potentially won’t fully come back from it. But it also feels like if I can take the opportunity to see him then I should.

• The Shift In Identity After Having A Baby. Uncut with Holly Nicholson

  Quite a while ago now we put a call out for who you’d like to hear on the podcast and the name that came through the MOST was the woman sitting in front of us Holly Kingston/Nicholson!We initially got to know Holly when she found love with Jimmy on the bachelor and they’ve gone on to get married and break the bachelor girl baby spell with their son Lenny! “Once you have a baby, your relationship will never be the same” seems to be a tale told to a lot of expecting mums. And it’s true, but there are a few parts left out of that narrative. Holly and Laura ran into each other not long before Holly had Lenny and she told her ‘no one tells you how much fun it’s going to be’. We speak about: Life before bach How her and Jimmy decided to pivot careers What the first year of their relationship was like Maintaining friendships after the bachelor Their challenging pregnancy journey Being both very grateful that you’re pregnant but really not liking pregnancy What the baby blues can feel like The counter narrative of motherhood being all doom and gloom The shift in identity that becoming a mum gives you How their relationship has changed since becoming parents Timestamps:0:00 Intro 6:17 Accidentally Unfiltered 13:23 Post Bach Relationship 17:37 Road to Pregnancy 24:44 Positive Test 25:50 Pregnancy and Postpartum 32:25 C-Section Birth 36:50 How Babies Change Relationships 43:45 Unsolicited Parenting Advice 51:13 Strange Pregnancy Symptoms You can find more from Holly on her instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

• Britt's Hens, A Winning Cat & Has MAFS Gone Too Far?

  Hey Lifers!Britt is unexpectedly jealous of someone very close in Ben's life and what's a girl got to do to get to enjoy some cannoli? Britt is still *undecided about whether she wants an adult performer or not at her hens party. Is it okay to want a particular one?The pet content creators are truly taking over as not just the winner of their cat-egory but the entire content creator awards! Laura thinks it's purrfect but Britt thinks they've got to be kitten! (I will stop with the cat puns...) We've previously really enjoyed MAFS for the social commentary that it creates and the ability to dissect toxic behaviours and speak about them in a public way. But, it seems as though it might be time to draw a line in the sand of what we are not willing to accept from contestants on our screens.After an act of violence from one of the contestants was brought up on the show, there has been a huge backlash from the public calling for the show to be cancelled after the experts did not remove the contestant. The company who creates the show has come out saying that their 'first priority at all times has been the wellbeing and safety of the participants'. But is this true?We speak about some of the unethical practices that happen behind the scenes of reality TV and the acceptance of violent people on our screens that exists right now in Australia.
