    Ask Uncut - Second Hand Gifts, Spending Money On Games & Wedding Cold Feet
    Jun 22 2025
    Hey Lifers! Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning questions! We’re all sad that the post office has said that they will stop selling knick-knacks! We’re already mourning the novelty and surprise of what might be available today! Vibes:Britt - Punter’s Politics Laura -Feel Better, Live More Podcast - How To Future-Proof Your Brain: with Dr Daniel Amen Keeshia - Nonnas on Netflix Then we jump into your questions!TO WHAT EXTENT ARE WEDDING JITTERS NORMAL?Since getting engaged 7 months ago I have dreamt multiple times a week about an ex “situationship” from about 10 years ago! My fiancé and I have been together for over 6 years and lived together for 5 so getting married shouldn’t really feel that different. I love my fiancé and it hurts my heart to think of not being with him, but I also feel a little bit of a pit in my stomach when I think of the wedding which is in August. Is this just wedding nerves? I feel like I may have some commitment issues as I’ve never had a long relationship before this one. I also don’t love being the centre of attention so could this be contributing? Is this just a normal reaction before such a big commitment? I guess that’s why they joke about people getting cold feet before a wedding but I never thought that was real. Would love your opinions please x BF DOESN’T WANT TO GO DOWN ON ME BECAUSE OF OCDHi guys! I have a dilemma. I love when my partner goes down on me butttt because I am so comfortable with him I fart, poop, and pull out tampons in front of him. He has pretty much seen it all. We have been together for 4 years. He has diagnosed OCD, especially around cleanliness and because he has seen what he has seen, he doesn’t like to go down on me, even when I’ve suggested doing it as soon as we have had a shower. Is this something you think we can work on or do I have to find alternatives (toys)? Please give me your best advice. PARTNER SPENT 6K ON ROBLOX - HELPMy partner and I’ve been together 3 years and I love him more than anyone. When we first started dating he had a slight pokies issue and was completely transparent with it. Together we worked that habit out and he stopped gambling on pokies; he played poker once a week and has been fine. However, last night I went into his phone when he was asleep to see where he’s been spending money after he made a comment about being tight for money. I looked and there were 3 Roblox transactions for over $100 each from the weekend. So, today I logged into his account and went through all the transactions. I’ve worked out that since January he has spent over $6k on this stupid game, and he’s been lying about it. He said he didn’t get paid enough this week to get his savings out etc but in reality, he has been spending it on Roblox. I need advice because this is so fucking childish. I do realise it’s a deeper problem than playing games, it’s an addiction and I want to help him but how do I confront him about it? I just want what’s best for him. For context: we don’t share a bank account for these reasons. I am money savvy and a good saver and he is the absolute opposite. OPINION ON MARKETPLACE GIFTS?Can you buy someone something from Marketplace secondhand because that way you can actually afford it and you know that they’ll love it? Or can you give someone something that you have owned? For context, it’s my niece's 1st birthday coming up where we would normally spend $100–$150 on the gift. We were about to sell something that is hardly used by our 2 year old. The RRP is $260 but they sell for $200 on Marketplace. Can you do that? Or is that super tight? Then if you can do it, do you tell them it’s secondhand or just palm it off as bought?

    • Do It Scared! Starting and Growing a Business. Uncut with Brittney Saunders

      Do It Scared! Starting and Growing a Business. Uncut with Brittney Saunders
      Jun 19 2025

      Today we’re welcoming back a guest who is one of the most impressive young female entrepreneurs in Australian business—Brittney Saunders. You might know her from YouTube, from her massive social media following, from her brand Fayt the Label, her cafés or her podcasts. She’s now also the author of a brand-new book Just Getting Started—an unfiltered look at the wild ride of building businesses from the ground up, making big mistakes and staying true to your vision.

      We’ve had the pleasure of having Britt on the podcast before (May 2023) for an episode titled Building the biz from the basement up. In that episode we spoke about:
      -being one of the OG influencers who leveraged her platform to create multiple extremely successful businesses
      -fat phobia in the fashion industry and size inclusivity being a smart business decision and
      -the businesses that Britt started before the ones that were successful!

      Today we wanted to focus on the mindset you need to have a successful business and some of the lessons she has learnt more recently as her businesses continue to grow!

      We spoke about:

      • Why Britt wrote a book and the process of becoming an author
      • The many hats that business creators wear and how to hand those jobs away
      • How Britt structures the management of her business
      • Why Brittney didn’t put her name into her business
      • The costly mistakes Britt made early on in business
      • Pushing against expectations and judgement
      • Working so closely with her partner AJ
      • Hiring decisions
      • Why money shouldn’t be the main motivator for starting a business
      • Staffing being the hardest part of running a business

    • Anonymous Online Trolls, Let The Unmasking Begin!

      Anonymous Online Trolls, Let The Unmasking Begin!
      Jun 17 2025

      Hey Lifers!

      Laura’s baby is taking a stand/protesting to Matt disclosing her name on his podcast. If you’ve had a baby, did you and your partner agree on whether to share the name/s publicly before the baby was born?

      Britt has entered a new career - being a professional dancer! Dancing with the stars has aired and our twinkle toes tore up the dance floor! We share some BTS of Dancing with the Stars and Britt finally gets the answer to whether Osher knew that she was going to be dumped on Bach 8 years ago!

      Two stories came out over the weekend that both surrounded the unveiling of the identities of online trolls/cyber bullies. Indy Clinton has received a 64 page document from a private investigator that includes the names and details about some of her relentless trolls. A couple in Ireland have successfully sued the formally anonymous owner of ‘tattle life,’ an online gossip cesspit and had his identity released.

      So with the advancements in technology that make online anonymity harder, do you think trolls would stop and think twice if they thought there was the risk that their identity would be exposed?

      Should influencers release the identities of their online trolls if they have concrete proof that they’re the ones responsible for years worth of bullying?

      Do you think tech companies like meta or tiktok have more of a responsibility to not allow people to be anonymous?

      We discuss whether these trolls being exposed would do potentially more harm than good or whether it’s a consequence for their own behaviour. We chat about precedents, how trolling affects both Britt and Laura and whether we think these stories will shift the dial at all.

    • Ask Uncut - HELP! My husband cheated.

      Ask Uncut - HELP! My husband cheated.
      Jun 15 2025
      Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning questions! The post holiday blues have hit everyone, but differently. Lola is having a particularly rough time with morning motivation! Laura has a free pass for her sockless sneakers this morning.Vibes for the week:Laura - Vestirsi Bags Britt - Stick TV Show Keeshia - ‘Musk DERANGEMENT Syndrome!’ DOGE Legacy Debate | Scott Galloway vs Kevin O’Leary Then we jump into your questions! DO I TELL HIM I’M PLANNING TO MEET OUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS? I’ve got a personal story here that’s been weighing on me, and I’m hoping to get your thoughts on it. Let me take you back to when I was born. I was adopted at just six weeks old, and right from the start, the adoption agency told my parents something surprising. They mentioned that my biological parents had also given birth to a baby boy two years before me, and that he, too, had been adopted. The agency asked if my parents would be interested in meeting him—my biological brother. And of course, my adoptive parents said yes. So, from a young age, my brother and I have been close. We’ve celebrated birthdays together and grown up with that unique connection. Fast forward to now, and we’re both in the same stage of life—starting families of our own. It’s a whole new chapter, and it’s made me start thinking about meeting my biological parents. I’ve wondered if I should make an attempt to meet them and try to learn more about my roots. Here’s where it gets tricky. My brother, however, has absolutely no interest in meeting our biological parents. He’s content with the life he’s built and doesn’t want to stir the pot. So, here’s my dilemma: do I tell him I’m planning to meet our biological parents? Should I respect his wishes and not pursue this? Or do I just go ahead and meet them without mentioning it to him? I’m torn, and I’m curious—what would you do in my shoes? ARE GIFT REGISTRIES IMPERSONAL?I would love to know your thoughts on gift registries for a baby shower? I have a lovely friend who has created a gift registry for an up and coming baby shower. It has a variety of items of all different prices, so if you were wanting to get a more expensive item you could go in with a group of friends. I know this word gets thrown around a lot but it is giving me the ‘ick’. I understand wanting to receive items that you need/want, but it seems incredibly impersonal. With this registry you can get the gift directly delivered to the address. I’m not entirely sure how it works but you may not know who it has been gifted from on delivery. What do you think of gift registries for baby showers? Am I just being a sour puss? HOW TO BE OKAY AT HOME ALONE?I have recently bought a house with my partner (m30 & f30) and have been living here for a few months. Until now I’ve lived in share houses and with family, and have realised I haven’t had to spend many nights completely alone, and when I do I get quite nervous (safety wise) being by myself. I’ve travelled for work and holidays on my own in hotels/apartments and don’t feel scared, but I do when I’m in a house alone at night. Our house is in an outer, older suburb which is quite safe, but when my partner occasionally goes away (once every few months for work) I feel on edge… I love the ‘idea’ of a night to myself, watching and eating what I want but in reality I’m nervous and alert to any noises. My question is do other girls feel like this, and what do you do to feel more confident at home on your own? DOES THE POST CHEATING SADNESS FADE?Firstly, I’m in complete shock that I am in this situation; my husband and father of our 3 young kids told me the day before Mother’s Day (via text while he is away for work....solid) that he got black out drunk and had sex with someone while on a night out for a friend's birthday. He says he doesn’t remember and only confessed because I bluffed that I had evidence (other than a hectic thrush infection and a strong hunch I really didn’t have evidence). He says that he is ashamed and sorry etc. I am not angry and unfortunately understand where some of this kind of behaviour- like drinking to such excess comes from (his childhood trauma) but I am devastated. We had a beautiful relationship and a wonderful life and it feels like it’s all covered in shit now. So first question: will this feeling of sadness and shit covered relationship fade? Second question: do I have to come up with a list of demands/boundaries/changes that he needs to meet? Because that feels like a lot of work.. Is it his responsibility to come up with such parameters? And thirdly: do I have to tell people? I am worried my close friends and family will hate him beyond repair if I tell them but also don’t want to bear the load myself... is the relief of support worth the inevitable hate towards him? For the sake of our lives and relationships. You can watch us on Youtube Find us on ...

    • Not Buying Into Beauty Trends & Capitalism - Uncut with Sarah Wilson

      Not Buying Into Beauty Trends & Capitalism - Uncut with Sarah Wilson
      Jun 12 2025

      Today’s guest is the brilliant Sarah Wilson. Sarah Wilson is a multi-New York Times bestselling author, social philosopher, international keynote speaker, minimalist and philanthropist. She edited Cosmopolitan Australia at 29, founded the global I Quit Sugar movement, hosted Masterchef Australia – and wrote the bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful.

      We previously had Sarah on the podcast 2 years ago where we spoke about dating in your forties, how Sarah had moved to Paris with only own 2 suitcases worth of belongings!

      Since we last spoke, Sarah has ended her long-running podcast Wild, and started serialising her new book on system collapse. Today, we’re talking about the chaos we’re all living through — the systems collapsing around us, the tech bros running wild, and the very real sense that everything’s just... a bit cooked.

      We also dive into:

      • Living in a minimalistic way and how it’s classy in some cultures
      • Australia is a young person’s culture with botox, lashes and ‘invisible’ older women
      • Should we also have a tax on fast fashion?
      • How beauty ideals change based on what’s going on economically
      • What it means to find meaning in messy times
      • Why Sarah’s book will likely be banned in the US
      • Why community and connection are more important than ever
