Life Uncut

The best of The Pickup radio show - 12th November

OUR BRITTY IS ENGAGED!!!!! 

Today's recording included a HUGE surprise for Laura and Keeshia and we're all crying so you're welcome to too.

First up, Laura wants to help her friend know how to avoid catching the feels for her 'friends with benefits' pal.

Vibes for the week:

Britt - Netflix "Geek Girl"
Keeshia - Unsubscribing from The Kardashians. Vibing The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck podcast The Harsh Truth About Self Discipline ft Rich Roll
Laura - Tony's Chocolonely Caramel Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Block

Then we get into your questions and one little surprise:

I WANT TO KEEP THEIR DOG

My friends have a 2.5yr old toddler and a newborn. To help them out, I agreed to look after their puppy for 18 months as they raise their kids as the puppy can be a bit much. I’m currently two months in and realising I did not think this through. The thought of giving him back in a year is really upsetting. The timing of me taking on their dog has come after A) the death of our family dog, and B) I am healing from a toxic relationship so I really needed a little buddy to latch onto and that has been my friend's dog. I also feel like I’m a better home for him as he has my full attention and has made so many friends at my local beach/dog park. The husband is keen on me having him, but the wife is on a very different page and wants the dog back in a year. I genuinely will be heartbroken if I have to give this dog back. How should I approach this with them to convince them that I should keep their dog?

PORN SHOWER

My husband was in the shower and I needed a lil wee so I went in to do that. As I was on the loo I was perving on him in the shower… he looked good, a potential semi, so I decided to strip off and jump in. We had sex in the shower. When we finished I turned to get out and something dropped on the floor. It was his phone. It had been propped up in the shower. So essentially when I had come in to use the bathroom he was watching porn on his phone in the shower and about to have a wank. He was interrupted. I felt weird, like a bit used, as in he was semi hard from watching someone else and then I finished the job. Should I feel weird about this?

And then Britt's own question!

Ask Uncut - Britt has a HUGE SURPRISE  💍 💍 💍

In the past few weeks, the Netflix show ‘Baby Reindeer’ has been the number 1 TV show in the world. The bio of the show reads “When a struggling comedian shows an act of kindness to a vulnerable woman, it sparks a suffocating obsession which threatens to wreck both their lives.”

This show provided quite a nuanced look at the insidious nature of stalking and a lot of the complex emotions that the victims can experience.

Joining the podcast today is Nicole Madigan. Nicole is a journalist and the author of “Obsession”. Nicole was stalked for over three years. It wreaked havoc on her life and trapped her in a constant state of fear. 

In this chat we speak about:
Nicole’s story and how a stalker infiltrated her life
The emotions experienced by victims of stalking 
Whether Baby Reindeer on Netflix was an accurate representation of what stalking is like
How stalking and harassment isn’t taken seriously in our worlds or by law enforcement
How difficult it is to prove that someone is stalking you and where authorities come into it
The 5 different stalking types
What percentage of perpetrators are men/women and the gender break down of victims
Misconceptions of stalking

You can find more from Nicole here

We mentioned a previous episode that we recorded with Dr Angela Jay here

Beyond Baby Reindeer: The Reality of Stalking with Nicole Madigan

Hey Lifers!
Poor Laura has come down with either gastro or food poisoning today so (one of) the boss(es) is away and the mice will play!
Producer Keeshia is filling in today.
Britt went on a magical holiday to Hamilton Island and met Skippy but also potentially ruined someone's wedding photos.
Have you accidentally ruined someone's special day? Have you had a failed proposal? 

We take a deep dive today on how to know whether you should break up with your partner. A bunch of experts put together a list of signs and we also added a few questions of our own like:
-Am I staying in this relationship out of fear of being alone?
-Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have? What kept you there?
-How do you distinguish between a rough patch and a fundamental incompatibility in a relationship?
-Do you think happiness is a good indicator of the relationship?

We spoke about these episodes in this chat:

Fix the Sex, Fix the Relationship - Uncut with Ester Perel
How to manage a break up - Uncut with Jillian Turecki

The original list was published here in women's health magazine
