  • Ask Uncut - A Naked French Man and His Metronome Pen*s
    Oct 16 2024

    Hey Lifers,

    Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions.
    Laura has endured one of the most awkward experiences we could imagine. It involves a naked French man on a stage, a crowd and tears in the front row.

    Vibes for the week:

    Laura: Book the trip! Book any trip with your friends/family that you have been planning.
    Britt: Podcast Kill List by Wondery
    Keeshia: Cloud Nine Curl Wand

    Then we jump into your questions!

    MY PARTNER DOESN'T WANT TO WEAR CONDOMS BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE ON CONTRACEPTION
    We unpack a situation from love is blind where the male partner expressed that he doesn't find 'condom sex' pleasurable. The female partner says that she does not want to go on a hormonal contraception. What do you do if you and your partner don't 'agree' to using condoms during sex?

    HOW MANY DATES BEFORE I HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE?
    I am recently single and back on the market after nearly 4 years. I’ve come out of my past relationship with a lot of confidence and have been using the dating apps a bit and even got myself some friends with benefits. I have found myself in a situation where I like two guys that I have met but I’ve only been on 3 or so dates with each of them over the period of a month. So my question is, how long/how many dates can you go on with people before you need to make a choice. And when do I need to stop my friends with benefits? I don’t want to end up in a situation where they find out about each other and I end up with neither. I don’t know if I am being selfish/giving player vibes. I just put all my eggs in one basket like I did with my ex and ended up in a relationship 1.5years longer than I should have. Please send help

    DO I INVITE MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND WHO HE CHEATED ON MY MUM WITH?
    I am getting married in 3 weeks. My parents have been separated for nearly 25 years. My dad had been in a relationship since they separated, but my mum has always stayed single. The problem is, my dad’s latest girlfriend, who he has been with for at least 6 years, is one of my mum's old friends, and someone he cheated with while still with my mum. My partner and I have been engaged for nearly 2 years, and I told my mum when we got engaged that my dad's girlfriend would be getting invited to the wedding. I was hoping that with nearly 2 years notice she would be able to come to terms with it and be somewhat civil about it. My mum has recently opened up and told me that she blames this woman for, in my mum's words, "ruining her life". I am not close with my dad’s family, so his girlfriend will be the only person he really knows at the wedding. My mum thinks that me inviting my dad's girlfriend to the wedding is me picking their side and that she doesn't know if she will be able to not say anything or start any drama at the wedding when she sees her, as she has been holding onto this hate for so long. I don't want drama, and I hate conflict, but I feel like I'm in a lose lose situation. Do I:
    A. Uninvite her and risk my dad also not coming to the wedding and a potential fight with him
    B. Say something to my dad and his girlfriend about my mum's feelings, and ask them to keep their distance at the wedding which could also just result in more drama.
    C. Try to stay out of it and cross my fingers that everyone just behaves
    I feel sick about it all and it's taking over anything else I can think about leading up to my wedding.

    HE'S GOING TO PROPOSE ON HER BIRTHDAY
    My best friend's bf is getting ready to propose, in PARIS! They’re going on a trip to Europe for her birthday (I’m also going on this trip) and he just told me he wants to do it the night of her actual birthday. I personally wouldn’t want to be proposed to on my birthday. However, I don’t know if she would love it or not and I can’t exactly ask her any questions without giving it away! What are your thoughts!?

  • Monsters. Whose Story Is It? A Trial by Social Media and Can You Ask For Your Ex to Pay You Back?
    Oct 14 2024

    Hey Lifers,
    Britt and Laura won a big, fancy radio award for best podcast hosts!! Laura is finishing off sailing the high seas on her first cruise so producer Keeshia is filling in for her today.
    Both her and Britt have unexpected and uncalled for hangovers from the awards night.
    Britt's whole family think Keeshia is a huge creep!

    Last week we spoke about Monica and Stephen on Love Is Blind and Stephen’s use of ‘therapy speak’ in the pods to make him seem more emotionally intelligent and in tune.
    More episodes have been released and... it's not good for Monica and Stephen. But, something happened when they were 'breaking up' and it had us questioning whether you should or shouldn't ask an ex to pay you back for any money they may owe you.
    Have you asked for someone to pay you after you've broken up? What was the amount?

    Two shows are currently trending about the Menendez brothers on Netflix. One is a documentary that involved the brothers who are currently in prison serving consecutive life sentences for the murder of their parents. The other is a dramatised TV series based on 10 different perspectives and directed by Ryan Murphy.
    Ryan Murphy is known for his controversial true crime dramas like Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the People vs. O.J. Simpson, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace.`

    We discuss:

    • Whether it’s ethical to create a series that includes traumatic events without consulting with the people most affected by it,
    • Whether sensationalising true crime stories has gone too far,
    • How the public perception of victims of abuse has evolved, and
    • The power of social media in turning attention to these stories.
