Happy end of 2021 Lifers!




What a freaking year!

Today we are taking a bit of a walk down memory lane and revisiting some of the best and most impactful moments of 2021 on the podcast.

We were joined by some absolutely incredible guests.

There were a lot of laughs, a few tears and some moments that left us feeling changed.

In today's episode, we highlight some moments with:

Mark Manson, author of 'the subtle art of not giving a fuck'

Our favourite accidentally unfiltereds

India Oxenberg, survivor of the NXVIM sex cult

Em Carey, the girl who fell from the sky

Matty J, Bach uncut host and Laura's to be betrothed

Kath Koschel, founder of the kindness factory

Sheri Hockley, nutritionist 

Hugh van Cuylenburg, founder of the resilience project

& Shonel Bryant, creator of support your girls.




We feel incredibly #blessed to have had these wonderful people share their stories and their time with us and we can't wait to be back with you in 2022!

We will still be recording from the floor of Britt's lounge room in our underwear so some things aren't changing!




You know the drill, tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog and your friend and share the love because

WE LOVE LOVE!

Life Uncut

A REAR IN YOUR VIEW. That's a wrap 2021!  🎉

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep and dark dilemmas!

The first dilemma of the day is that Marlie Mae (Laura's 4 year old) has been watching Taylor Swift 'The Eras Tour' and she's learnt some questionable dance moves...

We have an ask uncut aftermath from a question last week!! We absolutely love finding out what happened next.

Vibes for the week:

Britt: pretty lazy magic wand hair perfector

Keeshia: The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Jen Gunter MD How to Balance Your Hormones: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Menopause

Laura: Mimi's haircare for kids

Then we jump into your questions:
GRANDPARENTS WANT WEIRD TITLES THAT WE HATE
My husband and I have a problem, we are 5 months pregnant with our first child and my in-laws have been thinking about what they want to be called. Now, I’m happy for it not to be the typical grandma and grandpa etc if they don’t want but they have just called my husband to let him know that my MIL wants to be called cougey and my FIL has picked Ockey. (I don’t know how they would be spelt but they sound like koo ghee and ock ee.) We don't like these names and think they are weird, and could be confusing for our baby when she grows up. We don’t want to hurt their feelings but we also don’t want to have to refer to them as these strange names forever. How can we approach this with them or is it something they have every right to choose on what to be called by our child?


DO I PRETEND IT'S GREAT?
If a partner plans something for an event such as birthday, Mother’s Day, etc and you are disappointed, do you pretend it’s great? Or let them know you're disappointed? A couple of times I’ve expected a bit more planning from my partner and been disappointed but felt guilty for feeling this way. Are my expectations too high and is anything better than nothing? I should mention I’ve told him that I’m a sentimental person when it comes to milestones




DO I CALL BULLSHIT OR IS THIS ‘NORMAL’ THESE DAYS?

I’ve been dating a guy for 6 months (after his marriage of 2 years ago and 2 kids ended). Due to this I’ve given him space in anything too heavy about committing etc. About a month ago I asked him if he was on the apps and he said no, we haven’t had anymore “exclusive” chats. I’ve found out this week that he has liked one of my best mates pictures on hinge (who he’s met). He says it was an accident & he went on there because he was bored. Do I call bullshit on this? My male friend says that blokes need validation and until you tell them your boundaries and commit, it’s fair game. He wants to talk it through and get on the same page but I am unsure if I want to bother. I have been single for 10 years and had hopes for this. He has all the qualities that I’m looking for but he seems emotionally immature. He hasn’t told me his feelings for me yet but he clearly likes me. 

Is my bar too high or is this just what we would expect nowadays?

Ask Uncut - Ungrateful Mother's Day and is the dating bar too high?

Joining the podcast today is comedian, TV personality and camp mate from the South African jungle Stephen K Amos! 
Britt got to know Stephen in their month in Africa together and they formed a special friendship built on some very personal and impactful conversations. Stephen joins us today with some of the funniest accidentally unfiltered stories (yes, plural) that we have ever heard!
Stephen is such a laugh and a half and as funny as he is, he is equally as deep and thoughtful. 

We spoke about:
Time in the jungle 
His life growing up in a Nigerian family in South London
Expectations and being a ‘role model’ when he didn’t expect to be
Always being labelled as a ‘Black comedian’ and eventually ‘Black, gay comedian’
Push back on political comedy ‘ruining’ comedy
Stephen’s encounter with the Pope and his unexpected response to Stephen’s sexuality 
Performing for the Royal family
Accepting himself and his body; wearing shorts for the first time EVER in the jungle

Uncut with Stephen K Amos - The People Who Were the Butt of the Joke Now Have a Voice

Hey Lifers,
Today didn't quite go to plan! Laura's car broke down on the way to work so Producer Keeshia is filling in for her.
Britt got ... locked in a sauna. She quite literally was stuck in there waiting for Wim Hof to finish his meditative ice bath!
How do you feel about being in the background of someone's video at the gym? 
Keeshia found herself in this predicament and felt really uncomfortable. 

Then we have a chat about Piers Morgan's interview with the woman who is being labelled as the 'real Martha from Baby Reindeer'.
We question:
Whether interviews like this are exploitative and cross ethical boundaries
Whether she has the right to defend herself
Who is 'more' in the wrong; Netflix, Richard Gadd, Piers Morgan or the alleged stalker?
Who owns a story?
Whether it changes your opinion of the show

You can watch the entire interview here

You can listen to our episode with Michael Theo from love on the spectrum here
