Speaker 1: Guys, welcome back to another week of Life Uncut, where
Speaker 1: we talk about well, life uncut.
Speaker 2: Hey un Cut. I am britt and I'm Laura, and
Speaker 2: boy do we have a colorful episode for you this week?
Speaker 2: Starting with the color Green.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard the scene the grass
Speaker 1: is always greener if you have fantastic If you haven't, well,
Speaker 1: get out from under your rock, you big fat weirdo,
Speaker 1: because the saying is actually pretty damn common.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure most people have heard of this idea.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a good intro. I liked it.
Speaker 2: It was a great introth. Thanks for that, Brittany. All right,
Speaker 2: well let's talk about that later. We can water your grass?
Speaker 2: I mean, is that? What are we doing here? I
Speaker 2: feel like you're hitting on me watering my grass? Oh?
Speaker 2: Maybe I am? I do you feel about that? Well?
Speaker 2: I want to know what'd you learn this week? What
Speaker 2: did I learn this week? Actually, the one thing I
Speaker 2: wanted to bring up with you was did you watch
Speaker 2: that sixty minutes episode how Megan Markle lost her sparkle
Speaker 2: with Karl Stefanovitch and that more on Katie Hopkins? Did
Speaker 2: you you did watch this? I watched it. Well, I
Speaker 2: had to do a little bit of research into who
Speaker 2: Katie Hopkins actually was because it confused me as to
Speaker 2: why this woman who is clearly slightly unhinged was given
Speaker 2: a platform. Her opinions on Mega Markle became sort of
Speaker 2: verbatim and became gospel.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't really understand why they gave her the
Speaker 1: platform either. She is actually self described as the biggest
Speaker 1: bitch in Britain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you haven't heard of who this woman is.
Speaker 2: So Katie Hopkins was the social commentator on this sixty
Speaker 2: minutes episode where they were doing this investigative journalism on
Speaker 2: why Megan Markle has lost her sparkle. We're using that
Speaker 2: term very loosely. It was so far from being journalism.
Speaker 2: It was just flat out bullying. Where's Katie Hopkins's come from?
Speaker 2: Is she was on the British version of The Apprentice
Speaker 2: before moving into a media career. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And she's been well known as being quite racist, quite bigoted,
Speaker 2: And she's was quoted as saying that refugees and migrants
Speaker 2: are cockroaches and feral and I know, wait for this,
Speaker 2: And she also declared that gunboats should be used to
Speaker 2: stop migrants and refugees from reaching their destinations. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: So we gave this woman a platform to talk about
Speaker 2: how she feels about Mega Markle, as though her opinions
Speaker 2: are in any way valid.
Speaker 1: Would do you know one thing that I read actually,
Speaker 1: just to add to that that she has said in
Speaker 1: the past, and she said that ginger babies quote, ginger
Speaker 1: babies are so much.
Speaker 2: Harder to love. I did read them. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: My niece and nephew are little redhands and the cutest
Speaker 1: little things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: All Katie Hopkins offered in this episode was shock value
Speaker 2: and scandal. The whole thing just turned into an absolute
Speaker 2: witch hunt.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. And then you hear Carl at the start
Speaker 1: he asks her, what did Megan Mirkale ever do to
Speaker 1: deserve such hate? And then in return, Hopkins says everything.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is very good investigative journalism if
Speaker 1: you're just going to say, oh, I just hate her,
Speaker 1: I hate everything she does, she breath, I hater.
Speaker 2: Well everything was the fact that she didn't like the
Speaker 2: clothing that she wore. Oh that was ridiculous, how sexist
Speaker 2: and ridiculous because I'm sorry, but we're not standing here
Speaker 2: saying that there's any men that are part of the
Speaker 2: royal family that we're going to bill a five because
Speaker 2: we don't like their clothing. Second to that, she was
Speaker 2: having a go about Meg and Markel advocating for climate change.
Speaker 2: So that was another reason why she's so hated, because
Speaker 2: she's been passionate about climate change. It was just the
Speaker 2: most outrageous. The fact that it had a platform at
Speaker 2: all really infuriated me. The thing that really.
Speaker 1: Got to her, and I heard it said four or
Speaker 1: five times, is that they're doing all this for the environment,
Speaker 1: but they took for private jets to get there. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, do you expect them to get on an
Speaker 1: easy Jet economy flight?
Speaker 2: Well? I did actually read a statement that Elton John
Speaker 2: had put out, which sounds so random. But the reason
Speaker 2: why they had gotten these private flights is because they
Speaker 2: were going to see Elton John and they're having an
Speaker 2: amazing holiday with him, as you do when you live
Speaker 2: this high life social life. But Elton John had put
Speaker 2: up this statement saying that the trips that they had
Speaker 2: taken to go and see him were actually carbon neutral
Speaker 2: because they had donated this money in order to get
Speaker 2: Gate exactly. So it's just crazy. It really did feel
Speaker 2: like an absolute witch hunt to me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's a dead set moron and this went viral.
Speaker 1: It's gone This Australian segment has gone around the world
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of backlash on it, on
Speaker 1: her behalf and Kyl's behalf.
Speaker 2: So but also, I mean not to sort of drag
Speaker 2: Carl through the mud, because I know that he's had
Speaker 2: a bit of bad publicity over the Lee's last couple
Speaker 2: of years, but even him saying that they were asking
Speaker 2: too much to have privacy, what is that hypocrisy in
Speaker 2: that Kyl has been asking for privacy for the past
Speaker 2: two years while he went through a very public divorce
Speaker 2: and then married his now wife and they had the
Speaker 2: three date extravagance a Mexican wedding. So how can he
Speaker 2: be sitting there and conducting this interview which really just
Speaker 2: feels like a bullying campaign to Megan Markle and at
Speaker 2: the same time say that she's not privy to have
Speaker 2: any privacy. The irony in it is just outstanding.
Speaker 1: I really love her, but Meghan, actually Meghan, sorry, is
Speaker 1: the British call her?
Speaker 2: Megan? Meghan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Meghan is just pushing boundaries and she's different, and
Speaker 1: people just don't like change and they don't like different.
Speaker 2: They also don't want the royal family to have political
Speaker 2: stance because those two things seem to be quite contra indicative,
Speaker 2: so they need to kind of pick one or the other.
Speaker 2: But I love that she's carving a new personality for
Speaker 2: herself and she's standing up for herself. And yes, it's
Speaker 2: gonna rub some people the wrong way, but I don't
Speaker 2: think that this woman's views, as Katie Hopkins views, is
Speaker 2: indicative of the wider population.
Speaker 1: No, and saying that how dare she become a royal
Speaker 1: when she's divorced is laughable.
Speaker 2: Prince Charles and Diana are both divorces, exactly as is
Speaker 2: Camilla before she married Prince Charles. So let's not let
Speaker 2: the truth get in the way of a good story.
Speaker 2: I am straight. How was your week? For it?
Speaker 1: It? My week was great, And actually I'm so glad
Speaker 1: you brought that up because I wanted to talk to you.
Speaker 2: About that as well. You want to talk to me
Speaker 2: about your week?
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, what I really loved this week
Speaker 1: was watching.
Speaker 2: You on the Bachelor. Yes, it Puzzle on the TV again.
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved it. How did a feel watching myself
Speaker 2: or doing it for just.
Speaker 1: Being back in that situation? Did you get goosebumps and
Speaker 1: shivers and want to run or no?
Speaker 2: I had like post traumatic stress disorder where I like
Speaker 2: had suppressed all these awful memories and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: let back here again.
Speaker 1: Should just go home and go up in the corner
Speaker 1: and start rocking back and forth.
Speaker 2: I actually really felt for the girls going back in
Speaker 2: and filming that episode of the Bachelor. So if anyone
Speaker 2: who hasn't seen the episode from last week, Snazanna and
Speaker 2: I and Matt and Sam, we both went into the
Speaker 2: Batch mansion and we were supposed to be helping our
Speaker 2: ASTROBATCHI find love the right girl for him. It was
Speaker 2: really weird. We had to interview all the girls and
Speaker 2: kind of pick one and go and have this like
Speaker 2: dinner date with the girls are all really lovely. You
Speaker 2: can just feel the want that they have to not
Speaker 2: step a foot wrong. They really wanted Yeah, they really
Speaker 2: wanted to impress us, which bless them because I remember
Speaker 2: exactly what that feels like. So I have some questions.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to roll off the top of my
Speaker 1: tongue right now. But I hear me, did you how
Speaker 1: long did you get with each girl?
Speaker 2: Okay, at the start, it was probably about twenty five
Speaker 2: minutes to half an hour, but then as the day
Speaker 2: got on, we were running out of daylight and were
Speaker 2: running out of times. So I've been dating two minutes
Speaker 2: in and out. Yeah, so I don't think we got
Speaker 2: very long. With Ellie. She was one of the last
Speaker 2: girls that we chatted to, and it was a real quick,
Speaker 2: wham bem thank you, ma'am, get out of here chat.
Speaker 2: Same with Emma. That was also what felt like a
Speaker 2: really quick chat.
Speaker 1: And so did you really feel with Emma, because obviously
Speaker 1: she's been portrayed to have been in love with Matt
Speaker 1: the second she laid eyes on him.
Speaker 2: Did you get that feeling from her? Well? I even
Speaker 2: said it on the show. I said that she is
Speaker 2: the sort of person who loves being in love and
Speaker 2: that I was worried a little bit that she was
Speaker 2: in love with the environment more so than what she
Speaker 2: was in love with Matt. But I do think she
Speaker 2: has gotten a little bit of a rough edit because
Speaker 2: she seemed so lovely. Yeah, I think she would be
Speaker 2: really lovely. She was. She was a delight, absolute delight.
Speaker 2: And do you know what, all the girls that were
Speaker 2: there were actually really lovely. No one at all sort
Speaker 2: of displayed or conducted themselves in a way that made
Speaker 2: me think, oh, you got some problems. What about Abby? Look?
Speaker 2: Like I said on the show, I think that Abby
Speaker 2: was really really eager to please us, and so she
Speaker 2: would have said whatever she needed to say. I didn't
Speaker 2: quite think that she was answering the questions in a
Speaker 2: way that were completely authentic to her. I really did
Speaker 2: get the feeling that she was answering and what we
Speaker 2: wanted to hear in saying that she does not come
Speaker 2: across as a nasty person at all. She still comes
Speaker 2: across as being really lovely. She was just super eager
Speaker 2: to please, right, And so I also think that maybe
Speaker 2: she's getting a bit of a shit at it. Like
Speaker 2: I think that she's become very very polarizing. And don't
Speaker 2: you think it's interesting. We've never had a villain make
Speaker 2: it so far before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is true, So she's made it so fun.
Speaker 1: I think she's going to go far deal.
Speaker 2: I do too, and she's still got this real villain
Speaker 2: edit where all the girls are against her, but she
Speaker 2: clearly has something very strong with Matt and they have
Speaker 2: this real fiery chemistry. But I think it's so interesting
Speaker 2: because we've just never been in a situation with Australian
Speaker 2: bachelor where the villain has made it so far down
Speaker 2: the pipeline, like she could be endgame.
Speaker 1: I don't think she is, but she'd be I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call top three.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what did you think of the episode? Watching it,
Speaker 2: I was so nervous. I knew you were nervous because
Speaker 2: you sort of told me. I kind of knew it
Speaker 2: because you told me you are a genius Britney. Laura
Speaker 2: said to me, don't kill me.
Speaker 1: But Laura said to me, I am dreading and seeing
Speaker 1: myself on there again because I'm so like Puffy. And
Speaker 1: I said, Laura, ay, you're pregnant. That's not Puffey. You
Speaker 1: do just pregnant, and you just you were You just
Speaker 1: didn't want to look at yourself on there. But I
Speaker 1: thought you both of you women were stunning.
Speaker 2: Well, do you know what? And this is such a
Speaker 2: hate saying this now, because in retrospect, it was all
Speaker 2: perfectly fine. But when it came to the day before
Speaker 2: the show was going to be on, I was so
Speaker 2: worried that people would pay me out about the fact
Speaker 2: that I had put on weight. That's what I was
Speaker 2: worried about. Isn't that the most ridiculous thing. I thought
Speaker 2: I was going to get trolled because I looked so
Speaker 2: different to what I looked when I was on the
Speaker 2: TV two years earlier, because I was sixteen kilos bigger
Speaker 2: than what I was two years earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that also speaks volumes about the society we
Speaker 1: live in today. If you're worried that people are going
Speaker 1: to come out and troll you for being pregnant, I know.
Speaker 2: But I guess because I felt a bit insecure, which
Speaker 2: is so crazy, because you know, when I look back
Speaker 2: on it, like, I loved being pregnant, and I absolutely
Speaker 2: cherish every moment that I had in my pregnancy, but
Speaker 2: I didn't want anyone to take that away from me
Speaker 2: and to say things that were going to hurt my
Speaker 2: feelings basically.
Speaker 1: And every comment well that I saw was amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people were really supportive, and I'm grateful for that
Speaker 2: because the social media can be a very dark place,
Speaker 2: and in that instance, it was actually really great. But
Speaker 2: I did actually feel a little bit bad because I
Speaker 2: called Abby out on her wanting to impress us and
Speaker 2: wanting to say the right thing a little bit, and
Speaker 2: I didn't want to contribute to the Abby hating train.
Speaker 2: They really don't think that she's a bad girl. And
Speaker 2: I do think that although she's very aggressive and she's
Speaker 2: very competitive, she is copying it way too much at
Speaker 2: the moment and people need to just back the hell
Speaker 2: off on social media. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think people need to remember that everything you say
Speaker 1: and write and do hurts people's feelings, and they read it.
Speaker 1: Abby will read everything like you read everything like I
Speaker 1: read everything.
Speaker 2: It goes to a real person, you know, you watch
Speaker 2: the TV and then you jump on their Instagram account
Speaker 2: and you leave a nasty comment. That nasty comment is
Speaker 2: actually read by that person and it will stick.
Speaker 1: It will stick to them for life, not a week,
Speaker 1: all the day, for life. So it really kind people.
Speaker 1: Be nice, Be a nice goddamn person, all right, I reckon.
Speaker 1: The people who are listening to this podcast are pretty nice.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I loved though, and Slash felt
Speaker 1: really awkward was the interrogation party, I mean dinner party.
Speaker 2: With Matt Like, so tell me how many eggs you
Speaker 2: have and when do you want to get pregnant? And
Speaker 2: what is your fertility schedule? Like what position are you
Speaker 2: going to do it in? How are you going to
Speaker 2: agree with this baby? Tell me everything right now? Come on,
Speaker 2: we didn't take it downe that path, please, But I
Speaker 2: did actually feel a bit sorry for Helena. It did
Speaker 2: turn into being not so much about like where everyone
Speaker 2: was heading with what they wanted in life, but it
Speaker 2: just turned into this big baby making And I do
Speaker 2: think that there was a little bit too much pressure
Speaker 2: put on that with having Snazana and me in the room.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like they should have had
Speaker 1: somebody that didn't have such a strong opinion, like I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Me, but why didn't you get invited to that dinner
Speaker 2: party Britney because you'd been sitting there like Love's a
Speaker 2: fucking joke. Nice screws. I still love love. I would
Speaker 2: have Jed.
Speaker 1: I would have gone on there and said, do you
Speaker 1: know what, I went through so much turmoil and I
Speaker 1: still believe in love. So if he doesn't pick you,
Speaker 1: you can still go out there.
Speaker 2: And get it. That's such a lot you would have
Speaker 2: been in there trying to cut her grass some date
Speaker 2: astro about you yourself.
Speaker 1: I would have been like, can I just have a
Speaker 1: word please, Matt in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move along. Oh my god, let's move along.
Speaker 1: So Emma and Matt had a single date and they
Speaker 1: had this other awkward chocolate liking afrodisiac in. I think
Speaker 1: they probably went and injected the oysters that Eleanor and
Speaker 1: Matt had done into the chocolate and then they ate
Speaker 1: it and linked it off each other's fingers, and.
Speaker 2: It was so much. It was so much, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: I just find this this season has been really sexual.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're trying to americanize this Bachelor because the American
Speaker 2: Bachelor's crazy sexual. But I'm sorry. Remember Emma's last date,
Speaker 2: it was also in each other much tongue in their kiss,
Speaker 2: Like they just kept feeding each other every date.
Speaker 1: They went through the strawberries, and they had the food
Speaker 1: tasting with old blindfolded, and now they're licking chocolate of
Speaker 1: each other. So there's something we're missing.
Speaker 2: Well, at least there's a common theme to their dates.
Speaker 2: But I am more I feel personally victimized by how
Speaker 2: much of Matt's tongue I have seen and I have
Speaker 2: seen more of Matt's tongue than I have seen of
Speaker 2: my own Matt's tongue in a very long time. No,
Speaker 2: it's just when you hear it, you can really hear
Speaker 2: the sound of them kissing. Well, you feel like the
Speaker 2: sound department should have done more to cover that up.
Speaker 2: Did you Have you not heard it? Have you not noticed?
Speaker 2: You will? Now? What do you think of their dates?
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling it. I think she's great, but she's
Speaker 2: not the one. No, he's gone through the motions. She's
Speaker 2: beautiful it at all. She's a babe. Yeah, but that
Speaker 2: doesn't have anything to do with the fact as to
Speaker 2: whether they have any chemistry or not. I was just
Speaker 2: in there. She really is so nice pretty. This is
Speaker 2: Britt trying to give like the compliments. Whenever she says
Speaker 2: anything that's negative, she's like, oh, but she's lovely. I
Speaker 2: have to balance it, you always do. I know. It's okay,
Speaker 2: you can bring the bitch. I can't. That's not in me.
Speaker 1: No, moving along, all right, Well that's why I'm here, Okay,
Speaker 1: So moving on to the cocktail party. They did this
Speaker 1: thing where they put a card out. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: date card, where there was two cards, right, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: put two cards out and they were like, hey, ladies,
Speaker 1: that was usher, ladies, Matt wants you to use your initiative.
Speaker 2: Oh she sounds very high pitched and sexy right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the girls had to fight and go to Matt.
Speaker 1: Please don't talk like this same Okay, So anyway, the
Speaker 1: girls had to fight over it. So Sigan took one
Speaker 1: because she hadn't had much time feckle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't even try and take that away from Cigan.
Speaker 2: She's really had no time since that first date. And
Speaker 2: even when I met her, she had said that they
Speaker 2: had a really intense first date and then nothing since.
Speaker 2: And I was like, girl, friend, you are on your
Speaker 2: way out. That happened on my episode. My serious.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Shannon got the first date and then that was it.
Speaker 1: She just didn't get time with him again.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it. Do you know what if you
Speaker 2: are on the Bachelor and you get first date, you're
Speaker 2: not going to win, you know, endgame? Am I going
Speaker 2: to bite my tongue on this because didn't Alex's nation
Speaker 2: get the first impressions? Rose, I'm just gonna shut up.
Speaker 2: I clearly don't know what I'm talking about I can't
Speaker 2: watch that.
Speaker 1: Well. Then Abby and Ellie sort of like fought over
Speaker 1: the card because Ellie said you really needed it. Abby
Speaker 1: pleaded her case and said she needed more time, which
Speaker 1: I don't understand because I feel like Abby has had
Speaker 1: more time than anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also think that Ellie's had a shit
Speaker 2: ton of time too. Why did China not get any time?
Speaker 2: That's a name but China? Okay, But my issue was
Speaker 2: is that we were watching Ellie and Abby fight over
Speaker 2: this card, both of them having the most time in
Speaker 2: the whole series. China was just sitting there being like,
Speaker 2: I want everyone to be friends because she's such a delight. Yeah,
Speaker 2: China is world peace. So she just stood aside. So
Speaker 2: Abby got it because she's far more competitive and she's
Speaker 2: far more brash. Okay, can we skip ahead to next
Speaker 2: episode because I have some strong feelings about But what
Speaker 2: do you think of Ellie talking smack about Abby?
Speaker 1: I just think it's there's nobody left on the bus
Speaker 1: anymore because they're all under it.
Speaker 2: Like it's so true, so everyone is just throwing each other.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's ridiculous. Now, girls, just keep it
Speaker 1: to yourself. And be there for you.
Speaker 2: Ellie has kind of character assassinated herself a little bit
Speaker 2: by doing that. She was so loved and she was
Speaker 2: such a sweetheart, and then the fact that she's gotten
Speaker 2: sucked into the drama and that she felt like she
Speaker 2: needed to take it upon herself to say something negative
Speaker 2: about Abby. It just doesn't reflect well on the messenger. Ever,
Speaker 2: And my other issue is that it wasn't like she
Speaker 2: sat there and said, hey, Matt, Abby's here for Instagram fame.
Speaker 2: That girl does not want you, she wants to be famous.
Speaker 2: She said, oh, I don't think she's ready. I don't
Speaker 2: think she's this. I don't think she has genuine intentions.
Speaker 2: That's just not good enough, because who are you to
Speaker 2: say that someone doesn't have genuine intentions. You've got to
Speaker 2: have some hardcore proof. Because then Matt was like, well,
Speaker 2: do you think you're ready? I know your your intentions genuine,
Speaker 2: and Ellie was like, yeah, I am. Just kind of
Speaker 2: seems like, you know, you're purposely dubbing someone in to
Speaker 2: better yourself. Doesn't seem like your intentions are right either.
Speaker 1: It just shows that frustrations are high in the house
Speaker 1: for everybody, and it is you you know, it's like
Speaker 1: a pressure boiler in there. It just builds and builds
Speaker 1: and eventually something happens. Okay, so you jumped ahead in
Speaker 1: that date, but Eleanor and Matt did have a single
Speaker 1: date that episode. And yeah, then when she freaked out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she flew the coop. I know when I was like,
Speaker 1: goddamn it, girlfriend, I picked you for a reason.
Speaker 2: You just screwed it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she had to do a ten year plan and
Speaker 1: that was I don't know why that was so hard
Speaker 1: for her, actually, I mean, just put something down.
Speaker 2: A lot of these girls are also really young. Have
Speaker 2: you noticed, yes, does it make you feel really old? Well,
Speaker 2: I just I'm not.
Speaker 1: Convinced that at twenty three and twenty four you I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say you can be ready for sure, But in
Speaker 1: a show like this, the pressure is so high, the
Speaker 1: stress is so high. I'm not convinced that people have
Speaker 1: enough I guess life experience, or have experienced just enough
Speaker 1: love and heartbreak.
Speaker 2: And yeah, totally, I completely agree. And I know that
Speaker 2: there will be some people listening who are like, hey,
Speaker 2: I got married at twenty three, I have kids. I
Speaker 2: know that that happens too, and I know that there
Speaker 2: are outliers to everything that the median age for people
Speaker 2: getting married and having kids now a thirty one, so
Speaker 2: that's older too. Definitely sits outside that. And you know what,
Speaker 2: it is a really crazy world. Coming out of doing
Speaker 2: a reality TV show. You do get sort of thrust
Speaker 2: into the media, and you need to have a level
Speaker 2: of maturity to be able to cope with what that is,
Speaker 2: especially to be able to cope with that pressure on
Speaker 2: top of trying to have a relationship. It adds so
Speaker 2: many layers to the complexities of a relationship. And you're
Speaker 2: having all the normal problems that you would have in
Speaker 2: a relationship, but you're doing them in the public eye.
Speaker 2: So you do need to have a level of maturity
Speaker 2: to be able to get through that and to succeed.
Speaker 2: I think I concur thank you. Yeah, I'm speaking from
Speaker 2: experience because I'm so mature. Guys, Just in case you
Speaker 2: didn't know who she's also a liar? Yeah, thanks Britt.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I loved? And I think this
Speaker 2: is my favorite one. This is my favorite favorite group dates,
Speaker 2: my favorite group date drawing. I just really had an
Speaker 2: affinity for the drag queen who was like conducting the
Speaker 2: whole art thing. I thought she was amazing. I just
Speaker 2: would have forgotten the name, but she was amazing. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't know how to draw my inner drag queen. I
Speaker 2: was actually just really impressed by how good all the
Speaker 2: girls were at drawing. Did you see abbys? She definitely
Speaker 2: looked unhinged and like she was a bit psychotic and
Speaker 2: probably would stab you in your sleep. But I freaking
Speaker 2: loved it. I loved it, and I you know, I
Speaker 2: love Chelsea. My only concern with Chelsea at the moment
Speaker 2: is that I know that she's overcoming these hurdles from
Speaker 2: her past relationship. It's really endearing and I do think
Speaker 2: that it's really wonderful of her that she's being so open. However,
Speaker 2: I'm worried that if they keep hamming that edit, she's
Speaker 2: going to come across as looking like a bit of
Speaker 2: a broken bird, just broken, a bit too damaged and
Speaker 2: a bit too She needs a savior, and I think
Speaker 2: that she needs to be at a point where she's
Speaker 2: overcome those issues from her past relationships, not she's hoping
Speaker 2: to be rescued by Matt.
Speaker 1: This is why I think I can see her at
Speaker 1: the end, because they're.
Speaker 2: Really pushing this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's ready for a relationship. I
Speaker 1: don't know if she's passed the ex and I think
Speaker 1: they want us to really believe she's not. But then boom,
Speaker 1: she's going to be. That environment is going to get
Speaker 1: to everybody.
Speaker 2: I cried all the time. They never showed it. I cried.
Speaker 2: I cried all the freaking time. Did I tell you
Speaker 2: about the time that I got so drunk that I
Speaker 2: bawled my eyes out saying I'm an independent? Or did okay? Good?
Speaker 2: Because I still have flashbacks from that and it's hideous.
Speaker 2: Did I tell you about the one time I cried
Speaker 2: and it wasn't on camera that I cried and I
Speaker 2: ran away into the back garden. How did that not
Speaker 2: make it onto the bloody edit? Because I ran away?
Speaker 1: It was after hours, like filming head stopped. I just
Speaker 1: needed some time on my own. I'm so used to
Speaker 1: being on my own that this finally, the thirty people
Speaker 1: in this confined space.
Speaker 2: It cracked you. It cracked me.
Speaker 1: And I ran into the garden and I got a
Speaker 1: little blank and I tried to sleep outside and they.
Speaker 2: Couldn't find me. They're like Britney, Brittany and I didn't
Speaker 2: answer because I just thought, just let me just leave
Speaker 2: me alone, and they thought he'd done a full runner.
Speaker 2: So funny. I mean, like, look, it's a pressure cooker.
Speaker 2: You know that you're going to be emotionally stretched to
Speaker 2: your limits. That's exactly what they're trying to do. So
Speaker 2: then Ellie says she's going to speak to Matt first,
Speaker 2: but then Abby quickly steals him, drops in on Ellie.
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a kerfuffle, but then Abby is
Speaker 2: talking to Matt. Ellie comes up, I'm confused by what
Speaker 2: you're saying.
Speaker 1: I know, essentially essentially it's this convoluted Matt, Abby and
Speaker 1: Ellie saga.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the girl code, right, So the girls have
Speaker 2: obviously had a conversation before Matt got there about the order,
Speaker 2: and it's this arbitrary order that they've put together, which
Speaker 2: is sort of means that no one's going to be
Speaker 2: fighting and no one's going to be clambering over each
Speaker 2: other to get time with Matt. However, Abby once again
Speaker 2: does not give us shit about what's being prediscussed. She
Speaker 2: is there for Matt and she's going to do whatever
Speaker 2: she's got to do to get her man yep, and
Speaker 2: then a long story short goes home. I miss China
Speaker 2: already by China. I'm really worried about Ellie. She did
Speaker 2: the wrong thing by throwing Abby under the bus, even
Speaker 2: though even though Abby was the one who started this.
Speaker 2: Do we all not remember going back to like the
Speaker 2: third episode where Abby was the one who was bitching
Speaker 2: about Monique. And now all of a sudden, Matt's like, oh,
Speaker 2: but no one can bitch about Abby. But Abby can
Speaker 2: do whatever she wants. Yeah, he's under her spell, for
Speaker 2: it really is our Astrobatch is thinking, I mean she's rocket, Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's beautiful. He's got a rocket. The rocket needs attention.
Speaker 2: The rocket probably does need some attention. They've probably been
Speaker 2: that house for a while now.
Speaker 1: Grass is always Greener syndrome when it's broken right down,
Speaker 1: peeled right back, and exposed in all its glory.
Speaker 2: The grass is Greener syndrome really is just an unfortunate
Speaker 2: byproduct of self doubt. And in a time when everyone's
Speaker 2: lives are on.
Speaker 1: Full display on social media, people are showcasing their highlight
Speaker 1: reels every single aspect of their life, their jobs, their relationships,
Speaker 1: it's normal to be comparing each other and it's understandable
Speaker 1: in this day and age that this syndrome is pretty
Speaker 1: damn common.
Speaker 2: Laura, what do you reckon? Well, my question is to
Speaker 2: what extent is it normal? Because it's okay at some
Speaker 2: point to be like, oh, like that person's in Europe
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting at my computer dis this fricking sucks.
Speaker 2: But what if you're doing that day in day out
Speaker 2: and you're never at a point where you're happy with
Speaker 2: what you have because you're always thinking maybe there's something
Speaker 2: better than this. I'm saying, I think it's normal for
Speaker 2: us all to experience at some point, but it's how
Speaker 2: we deal with it and whether you overcome that and
Speaker 2: don't let it consume your life. Yeah, And I think
Speaker 2: that some people have this constant lingering, this constant doubt,
Speaker 2: where you know they might be in a relationship and
Speaker 2: that relationship could be great. Like really, the person that
Speaker 2: you're with, they tick all the boxes, they treat you well,
Speaker 2: they are essentially providing you with a happy and positive
Speaker 2: framework for a great relationship. But you're too busy thinking
Speaker 2: maybe there's something better out there, or maybe the grass
Speaker 2: is greener on the other side of the fence. Then
Speaker 2: actually focusing on what you have in front of yourself
Speaker 2: and nurturing the relationship that you currently have.
Speaker 1: There's the same that I really love and that is
Speaker 1: comparison is the thief of joy. Yes, it couldn't be
Speaker 1: more true, because these comparisons, they lead to judgment and prejudice, fear, envy, pride,
Speaker 1: in security, all these evil, negative things, toxic things that
Speaker 1: we let into our life. And it's all because we
Speaker 1: sit there and compare our life to somebody else's instead
Speaker 1: of just looking at ourselves and what we have and
Speaker 1: being happy and content. And I think content is a keyword.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. We're so obsessed with this concept of happiness,
Speaker 2: like we want to be happy. Happy is the end goal.
Speaker 2: Happiness is something that really consumes especially on social media. However,
Speaker 2: I think happiness has a lot to do with your
Speaker 2: external circumstances, and a lot of us say things like
Speaker 2: I'll be happy when I graduate, I'll be happy when
Speaker 2: I get a boyfriend, I'll be happy when my boyfriend
Speaker 2: proposes to me, I'll be happy when I have a baby.
Speaker 2: So all of these things are projecting happiness in the future,
Speaker 2: but none of it's to about what that happiness is
Speaker 2: right now. So the issue with that that I have
Speaker 2: is we should be focusing more on this concept of contentment.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is that you have right now is what
Speaker 2: you need to be able to find your happiness in,
Speaker 2: because right now is the only thing that you have
Speaker 2: control over. Do you know, Earl Nightingale, No, I don't, Brittany,
Speaker 2: tell me more about it. It was just really popular.
Speaker 1: He was an author and a really popular radio host
Speaker 1: back in the fifties and the sixties. And he says
Speaker 1: that the mind is lack soil, so it's going to
Speaker 1: return to us what we plant. And if you everyone
Speaker 1: just think about that for a second, the mind is
Speaker 1: like soil, it will return to us what we plant.
Speaker 1: So it's how it's saying how we landscape our own gardens,
Speaker 1: how we tend to our own back.
Speaker 2: I like this, you're using the grass as greener, and
Speaker 2: then the euphemisms that go with this.
Speaker 1: Good goehu of your appreciation thing. Yes, but back to
Speaker 1: my landscaping. It's how you landscape your own backyard and
Speaker 1: your own grass and how you water that, and that's
Speaker 1: what you're going to get in return. So it's saying
Speaker 1: water your own soul, land escape your own body.
Speaker 2: So instead of seeking to migrate to better past, as
Speaker 2: you might say, oh my god, I need to stop
Speaker 2: now that was too far, what you need to do
Speaker 2: is water your own field. But yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 2: Like if you spend so much time projecting what you
Speaker 2: wish you had because you're looking at other people's relationships,
Speaker 2: then that's time away from actually sitting down with your
Speaker 2: partner and saying, hey, do you know what, I'm not
Speaker 2: one hundred percent happy with these things. Let's work on that.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about how we can make that better. I'm
Speaker 2: actually going to say something here. I am going to
Speaker 2: eat me with it, but I'm going to.
Speaker 1: Admit that as a longtime single woman, I have been
Speaker 1: in the position where I have looked at other couples
Speaker 1: on Instagram and thought I wish I had that, even
Speaker 1: though I have a fantastic life myself, and I've been
Speaker 1: jealous of that and envious of that. And you and Matt,
Speaker 1: you are this sort of relationship goals on Instagram. A
Speaker 1: lot of people I think look up to you guys
Speaker 1: as this perfect relationship. You had this fairy tale ending.
Speaker 1: Now you had this amazing engagement, and you've had a baby,
Speaker 1: and you look both eleven out of tens.
Speaker 2: I feel like, come here just so that I can
Speaker 2: get our self confidence booskuys. What else wants to start
Speaker 2: into and tell me how great I am? Please do?
Speaker 2: Because I haven't showered today, so I feel like I
Speaker 2: need it in my life in all seriousness?
Speaker 1: Does that put pressure on you? Or what do you
Speaker 1: think about that when people are constantly comparing themselves to you?
Speaker 2: Guys, it's not pressure because I know that it's not real,
Speaker 2: Like I guess. The thing that when you say that
Speaker 2: makes me feel guilty is that we do post our
Speaker 2: highlight reels. We do post the best bits about our relationship.
Speaker 2: And I would hate for someone else to look at
Speaker 2: our relationship and go, I want what they have and
Speaker 2: not focus on what they personally have at that point
Speaker 2: in time. Because as much as I love my relationship
Speaker 2: with Matt, and we are as close to being constant
Speaker 2: happiness that I've ever had in a relationship. But that's
Speaker 2: not to say that we don't fight, and it's not
Speaker 2: to say that we don't have our shitty bits. We
Speaker 2: just don't put those bits on Instagram. We fight about
Speaker 2: stuff exactly. Why would you the fact that the nursery
Speaker 2: has just turned into a complete dumping for all Matt
Speaker 2: stuff and has been like that for three weeks, and
Speaker 2: we constantly bicker about it. I saw it last night.
Speaker 2: It is true. Baby in there. It's like a tip.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Mally's been under it for three weeks.
Speaker 2: We haven't seen her. We thought she moved out, but honestly,
Speaker 2: you know, that's the sort of stuff. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to share that with everyone except for on a podcast
Speaker 2: because no one cares.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is where I think you're wrong. I think
Speaker 1: people now want to relate to this. I think we're
Speaker 1: as a society. We're moving in this direction where people
Speaker 1: want to know other people are going through shitty times too,
Speaker 1: and there is starting to be this movement on being
Speaker 1: a bit more real.
Speaker 2: And I agree with that, and I do think that
Speaker 2: we are quite authentic in our social media. But when
Speaker 2: it comes to relationships, I guess my reasoning when I
Speaker 2: say we only post the highlight reel is because if
Speaker 2: you're bickering, it's not really something that you're going to
Speaker 2: then go and put on social media purely because that's
Speaker 2: undermining of your partner. I'm never going to put on
Speaker 2: social media. Hey guess what today Matt and I had
Speaker 2: an argument about something that's trivial and arbitrary and in
Speaker 2: a couple of hours will be over it. But that's
Speaker 2: not to say that we live in this fake, pseudo bubble. Yeah,
Speaker 2: glossy filtered life. Yes, we get to do a lot
Speaker 2: of wonderful things together and we are very happy and
Speaker 2: we are very content. But we have our moments as well,
Speaker 2: just like every relationship is, because nothing in life is perfect.
Speaker 2: And just like you had a really good quote, I
Speaker 2: have one too. I'm gonna say the quote wrong, and
Speaker 2: I did write it down because I remember this, like,
Speaker 2: perfection is the enemy of good. If you have something
Speaker 2: that is good, or you have something that is great,
Speaker 2: trying to make it perfect is going to be the
Speaker 2: undoing of that. It's like when you see people who
Speaker 2: get way too much plastic surgery done and you're like, damn,
Speaker 2: you are really hot to start with, and you ruin that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you want it to be perfect. Well, that's a
Speaker 2: good quote. I'm glad you brought that to the table.
Speaker 2: Think you can have that. Actually, glad you brought that
Speaker 2: to the pasture. Oh my gosh, did it make it
Speaker 2: any greener. Something that we need to sit back and
Speaker 2: pay attention to as well, is this grass is greener.
Speaker 2: This mindset it comes from jealousy as well, and you
Speaker 2: need to check yourself because that is just such a
Speaker 2: negative headspace to get into. It's about a change in mindset,
Speaker 2: absolutely definitely about being comfortable with who you are, about
Speaker 2: aligning yourself with some sort of higher purpose, whether that's
Speaker 2: spirituality or whether that's just having things that are outside
Speaker 2: your relationship that give you purpose as well, because at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, a relationship is not a guarantee.
Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna get married and we're gonna have
Speaker 2: another baby. Even if we do all those things, there
Speaker 2: is no guarantee that in ten or fifteen years time
Speaker 2: we're still going to be together because you cannot control
Speaker 2: another person. Like if that was my choice, absolutely we
Speaker 2: would be. But I can't control Matt, and I don't
Speaker 2: know one hundred percent without doubt that that will be
Speaker 2: our story. Because a relationship is never, ever, ever a guarantee.
Speaker 2: So you need to be happy in yourself.
Speaker 1: Also need to understand why you're having these thoughts. If
Speaker 1: you genuinely are wishing you were somewhere else with someone
Speaker 1: else doing something else.
Speaker 2: Make that happen.
Speaker 1: If you know in your heart that you should be
Speaker 1: learning Italian in Italy, go and do it.
Speaker 2: Do you not think that that mentality then feeds this
Speaker 2: grass is greener syndrome because it's easier to say to someone, oh,
Speaker 2: if you want to go learn Italian Italy go. People
Speaker 2: have family, they have commitments. There are things in life
Speaker 2: that keep you grounded and keep you here that mean
Speaker 2: that you don't have that sort of flexibility to run
Speaker 2: and that freedom too. Well, this is what I mean.
Speaker 1: You need to figure when I say figure out why
Speaker 1: you're wishing you with somewhere else. If it's because you've
Speaker 1: got four kids, well of course you're not going to
Speaker 1: You're only wishing you were there, not because you actually
Speaker 1: want to learn Italian, but because you don't want to
Speaker 1: be where you are.
Speaker 2: A bit of escapism. I also think that we can
Speaker 2: fall prey to great marketing as well, oh one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Like we said, with social media, we're constantly seeing the
Speaker 2: highlights reel. We're constantly seeing what you could have and
Speaker 2: how wonderful your life could be because we're being sold something.
Speaker 2: And then you think about like online dating as well
Speaker 2: as another completely separate thing is that you might start
Speaker 2: dating someone, but then you can always back in and
Speaker 2: see who else is there, who else is available, what
Speaker 2: else is better? And that's this fear of missing out
Speaker 2: almost somo. It's a thing. Yeah, this fear of missing
Speaker 2: out that then contributes to this grass is greener. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's always something better. Yeah, and I actually get really
Speaker 2: bad fomo with food. Have you ever had that? You know,
Speaker 2: you were eating some tasty looking sushi earlier before I
Speaker 2: offered it to you. I know, I have to stop myself.
Speaker 2: I do think that it's normal to think from time
Speaker 2: to time, you know, what if I had something better,
Speaker 2: and to question that. I don't think that it's abnormal
Speaker 2: to have those thoughts. However, if those thoughts become daily
Speaker 2: and become debilitating, then you either need to do one
Speaker 2: of two things. You need to stop and think, Okay,
Speaker 2: is this actually my relationship and there is something fundamentally
Speaker 2: wrong here. Maybe that's because you're fighting or you're bickering, sure,
Speaker 2: or if those things don't exist, and it is just
Speaker 2: this feeling of like maybe I can get something better,
Speaker 2: then that issue doesn't lie in your relationship. That issue
Speaker 2: lies in you and you need to do some self
Speaker 2: discovery and you need to workshop why you have this
Speaker 2: feeling that you always want something better than you have
Speaker 2: because you'll never be happy.
Speaker 1: And stop comparing yourself because comparisons all I do is
Speaker 1: show us that we're not accepting of ourselves. So know
Speaker 1: that you are enough, ease, enough than cheeser.
Speaker 2: Now it is time for our favorite part of the episode.
Speaker 2: It really is my favorite part of the episode. What's
Speaker 2: called ask uncut. Were we supposed to do that together?
Speaker 2: We never do. We never do. So we've had some
Speaker 2: people write in ask questions. Usually these are relationship questions,
Speaker 2: and we are going to give our very unqualified advice.
Speaker 2: Britt have you picked some questions for us today? Sure have,
Speaker 2: and it's a good ear. Come at me, Hi, ladies.
Speaker 1: Thoughts on scheduling sex post babies. We're really struggling to
Speaker 1: keep the intimacy alive and we're thinking of trying to
Speaker 1: schedule it to see if logistically this is easier.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love this question. Yes, schedule sex
Speaker 2: so fine.
Speaker 1: At the start when I read this, I was like, no,
Speaker 1: it takes all the romance out of it and then
Speaker 1: when I thought it through, legit, it makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense.
Speaker 2: You don't have a baby if you have things that
Speaker 2: are commitments that are outside of your control, i e.
Speaker 2: Getting up five times a night because you have a
Speaker 2: crying baby. You need to schedule these things because it
Speaker 2: becomes too hard. You'll just not do it if you don't.
Speaker 1: And maybe you don't schedule it, like at five forty
Speaker 1: five on a second Sunday, we're doing it. Maybe you
Speaker 1: schedule it like, hey, let's just try and get a
Speaker 1: sitter for this night, and then you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a great dinner, a few venos, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get freaky.
Speaker 2: Why does it have to be such an issue? Like
Speaker 2: why does that have to be taken as a negative?
Speaker 2: If you have to do that in your relationship, Matt, No,
Speaker 2: I have to do it now. We don't have time
Speaker 2: to have sex, WILLI nearly? When do you schedule it? Well, Brittany,
Speaker 2: straight after the podcast, that's how we celebrate Bachelor Night.
Speaker 2: No stop it Wednesday's Thursdays.
Speaker 1: No, but everybody don't contact these guys on a Wednesday
Speaker 1: and Thursday night.
Speaker 2: My phone's on aeroplane mode and I would hate to
Speaker 2: think that that's a negative reflection on our relationship, that
Speaker 2: that that then means that we're not spontaneou and exciting
Speaker 2: like we love each other. Yes, sometimes we have to
Speaker 2: schedule sex so that we're still having it because we
Speaker 2: want to and we're excited about it, but unfortunately we
Speaker 2: have real lives that we have to try and mesh
Speaker 2: everything together. Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here
Speaker 2: and say to this person who has written in there
Speaker 2: is no shame in having to schedule sex so long
Speaker 2: as you were still making it a priority and you're
Speaker 2: still both enjoying it and you're still both loving each other. Go,
Speaker 2: you do what is good for you girlfriend. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think schedule.
Speaker 1: It for sure, but still keep it exciting just because
Speaker 1: it's scheduled like anal whoa. No, I just meant like
Speaker 1: maybe doing a different place or or positioned whole position,
Speaker 1: but not necessarily different orifice.
Speaker 2: I really hope that that was helpful. So let's go
Speaker 2: on to question number two. You never asking you a
Speaker 2: question again? Well you are, because we've got a second
Speaker 2: question of s let's come back. Come question two.
Speaker 1: How do you deal with anxiety? I've been che in
Speaker 1: the past and now I have trust issues. I love
Speaker 1: and trust my current partner so much, but I just
Speaker 1: can't help my anxiety making me second guess everything he does.
Speaker 1: He has given me absolutely no reason to fear the worst,
Speaker 1: but I still do.
Speaker 2: Oh Okay, this issue obviously, and you know this does
Speaker 2: not lie in your partner. This issue lies in you,
Speaker 2: and this is something that you are going to have
Speaker 2: to overcome, and it is unfair of you to put
Speaker 2: that pressure on your partner. Of course, you need to
Speaker 2: communicate why, and you need to be very open with
Speaker 2: the reasons that you feel this way. But maybe it
Speaker 2: would be of benefit to you if you go and
Speaker 2: speak to someone outside of your relationship, like go and
Speaker 2: speak to a counselor, or go and speak to a therapist,
Speaker 2: and work through the things that are making you project
Speaker 2: past relationships onto your current relationship.
Speaker 1: I spoke about this exact thing with a girlfriend today.
Speaker 1: She said this, she's in a new relationship and she
Speaker 1: had a shitty past relationship. And I said, I'm actually
Speaker 1: doing this question on the podcast tonight.
Speaker 2: But I said to her, what else say to you?
Speaker 1: And that is all that is doing, is putting negativity
Speaker 1: and toxicity into your current relationship. The fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is, if you cannot trust your current partner, you
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be with him. And if you're going to
Speaker 1: waste all your time and energy worrying that he might
Speaker 1: do something is going to ruin every other aspect of
Speaker 1: your day and your relationship.
Speaker 2: But what she's saying is that it's not that she
Speaker 2: doesn't trust her current partner. She does trust him, and
Speaker 2: he's done nothing to make her feel like he's going
Speaker 2: to do the wrong thing, But she inherently has been
Speaker 2: damaged from a past relationship and she needs to work
Speaker 2: to overcome that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she says, that's why she's second guessing everything with him.
Speaker 2: But do you know what, I totally understand this. Like,
Speaker 2: I've came out of a really bad relationship a few
Speaker 2: years back before I met Matt where so did you, Britt,
Speaker 2: You know where I was cheated on and I was
Speaker 2: lied to to a point where, quite seriously, this guy
Speaker 2: could have told me that the table was brown and
Speaker 2: the we're sitting in front of this white Not that
Speaker 2: you guys can see it, but like he just was
Speaker 2: believe so good at lying and lying, lying, lying that
Speaker 2: it just made me fundamentally not believe anything I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't know right from wrong, up from down, and
Speaker 2: I took a lot of that into my relationship with
Speaker 2: Matt at the start. But Matt was so good at
Speaker 2: proving to me and consistently showing me that I had
Speaker 2: nothing to worry about that over time that feeling did dissipate.
Speaker 2: So maybe it is a situation as well for you,
Speaker 2: where the more that your partner reassures you that they
Speaker 2: love you, the more that your partner proves to you
Speaker 2: that they are not doing anything to make you question
Speaker 2: that they are unfaithful, the more that your trust will
Speaker 2: be rebuilt, and the more that you will be able
Speaker 2: to grow and overcome this together.
Speaker 1: I agree with this too, but there's part of me
Speaker 1: that there's part of me that disagrees. If your partner
Speaker 1: has to constantly prove himself to you for no reason
Speaker 1: and when he's not doing anything wrong, it's going within
Speaker 1: on him very fast. He eventually is going to say,
Speaker 1: we're not having this conversation again. I haven't done anything wrong.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: If you're constantly saying, proved to me, I need your reassurance,
Speaker 1: he's going to get over it.
Speaker 2: No, But I don't mean prove to you in like, ah,
Speaker 2: you need to go through my text messages or anything
Speaker 2: like that. I just mean like in daily actions that
Speaker 2: they're not doing anything that would make you second guess.
Speaker 2: So better to work on that relationship now while you're
Speaker 2: in it than to be like cool, I'm out, I
Speaker 2: need to go do some self discovery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just have the conversation with him as well. Tell
Speaker 1: him how you feeling. I am going to assume if
Speaker 1: you love each other, he will reassure you and you
Speaker 1: can have this really honest conversation. But I just think you,
Speaker 1: like you said, you need to go and work on yourself,
Speaker 1: whether that is speaking to somebody a friend, therapist, counselor whatever.
Speaker 1: But I don't think you can constantly put it on
Speaker 1: your partner.
Speaker 2: So guys, if you want to have us answer your
Speaker 2: questions next week in Ask Uncut, please slide on into
Speaker 2: our dms on Instagram at Life Uncut and we will
Speaker 2: do our best to agree on something and give you
Speaker 2: some sort of answers to your.
Speaker 1: Questions at Life fun Cut Podcast. Well I like that,
Speaker 1: do that again at Life fun Cut Podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, he then give me your suck and your
Speaker 2: sweet Brittany. We finish every single episode with our highlights
Speaker 2: and our low lights from the week. So, Brett, I
Speaker 2: want to know how's your week been. Give me your
Speaker 2: highlight and your low light.
Speaker 1: I have a real banger for my suck this week.
Speaker 1: So my girlfriend Renee really ruined something for me. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen the show Younger. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen the show, Hilary Duff. Is it a recommendation? Should
Speaker 1: we watch this? I just binge watched six seasons. Everyone,
Speaker 1: this is my recommendation. I loved it so easy to
Speaker 1: watch perfect.
Speaker 2: I need this. I need some more Netflix my life.
Speaker 1: So my Suck is the main character Josh. His real
Speaker 1: name is Nico Tortorella or something like that. Have you
Speaker 1: been stalking this guy, Brittany potentially low key?
Speaker 2: Yes? Sure, so he has been my hall pass. Now
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wanted to have a hall pass
Speaker 2: because I'm single. I wonder if he's just a pass.
Speaker 2: It's just I wonder if he listens to the podcast,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure he doesn't, but if he does, britt
Speaker 2: is thirsty. No, this is the suck.
Speaker 1: I was telling her how in love I was with
Speaker 1: this guy. On Younger and she said, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you don't know, do you. I was like, no, what
Speaker 1: she pulls him up. He is gay, which is, you know, cool,
Speaker 1: but sucks for me. But he's also like really extreme
Speaker 1: dresses as a woman. And you just never ever would
Speaker 1: have known this from his character. His character is so
Speaker 1: sexy and straight and I just can't. I will never
Speaker 1: be able to dream the same again.
Speaker 2: Now. So that was my sock. I love it when
Speaker 2: people play against their stereotypes. That's great. Good for him,
Speaker 2: you need to let him up. Sucks for you that
Speaker 2: he's definitely not going to be interested in you. But
Speaker 2: I mean I think that this is bloody wonderful.
Speaker 1: You need to look it up. And actually I have
Speaker 1: a picture of him right here. Yeah, I look at that.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he is a sexy man. Holy Doolly. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you're up your suck for this week? Is that
Speaker 2: your cool pass? Not even your hall pass? That some
Speaker 2: guy who's on a TV show who you've never met
Speaker 2: is gay and is not interested in you and doesn't
Speaker 2: know that you exist? Correct, don't judge me. Moving on, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm not judging you. I'm just that was that upset you?
Speaker 2: So much. That affected your week so much that that
Speaker 2: is your suck. I'm still really raw. Okay, well then
Speaker 2: what was your sweet? Let's hope that some other hypothetical,
Speaker 2: non existent character finds you attractive.
Speaker 1: My suite was in a supermarket line and there was
Speaker 1: this really really cute old man in front of me.
Speaker 1: He must have been I thought you were able to
Speaker 1: say a cute guy, and I was like, Britney, this
Speaker 1: cannot just be about the men that you want to date.
Speaker 2: He was about ninety. He was trying to buy these groceries.
Speaker 1: And he went to pay his with his f POS
Speaker 1: card and he couldn't even put the numbers in to
Speaker 1: peanut and it was incorrect. Then the line behind behind
Speaker 1: me starts to build. There's about twenty people in the
Speaker 1: line now, and the woman's like, oh, decline. Do you
Speaker 1: want to try again? So he tried again and it
Speaker 1: wouldn't declined again, So she said, oh, do you want
Speaker 1: to go and get some cash out and you can
Speaker 1: leave your bag here, And he opened his wallet and
Speaker 1: there was one five dollar note in it, and he
Speaker 1: obviously had no money in his bank because he said
Speaker 1: with his head down, he said, oh no, just just
Speaker 1: don't worry and started to walk out of the shop.
Speaker 1: And it broke my heart. And I said, just stop,
Speaker 1: come back. I said, I've got it all. I've got
Speaker 1: his groceries. And he tried to give me his five
Speaker 1: dollars and I said, you just go and have a
Speaker 1: great day, and I've got you covered because I just
Speaker 1: I had just thought, if this was my parents or
Speaker 1: my grandparents, I hope to god somebody would have bought
Speaker 1: that the groceries for them so they could go home
Speaker 1: and eat.
Speaker 2: Oh that's just kills me that it was sort.
Speaker 1: Of my suck because it broke for him. But it
Speaker 1: made me really happy to know that I had just
Speaker 1: gone and.
Speaker 2: Done my thing. Well that's your good bit, for the.
Speaker 1: Way, it was my good bit, but god, my heart broke.
Speaker 1: So if everyone's listening, I urge you go and do
Speaker 1: something good for someone.
Speaker 2: Buy them a cup of coffee. You're a goddamn saint, Brittany. Anyway,
Speaker 2: what's yours? Look at you? Oh? Well, mine are very
Speaker 2: trivial in comparison. Well, your first one was pretty trivial.
Speaker 2: The second one was like, godly suck. First, go here,
Speaker 2: I have a blind and pimple. Oh okay, and you sweet,
Speaker 2: it's a really big one. It's on my chin and
Speaker 2: it really really hurts. I can't it's because it's blind, Brittany, Oh,
Speaker 2: it's blind. It's so sore. Okay, So that's my suck
Speaker 2: and my sweet is this is also very trivial. I
Speaker 2: made a freaking amazing beef stur fry this week. It
Speaker 2: was so great master chef level no, but I suck
Speaker 2: at cooking, so it was very good for me, and
Speaker 2: I've been dreaming about it all week. That's my like,
Speaker 2: you know, when you make something so good that you
Speaker 2: crave every meal after that. That was my sweet. Guys,
Speaker 2: once you have a baby, what gets you going changes drastically. Yes,
Speaker 2: it is blind pimples and beef sturf because now Laura
Speaker 2: is dreaming about hersterf right. Well, anyway, it's sorry, guys,
