Ask Uncut - He Got a Hair Transplant and Wants Everyone to Lie About It, Warning the Next Girl & Drunk Brides

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Vibes of the week:Link to the sensor lightsKeeshia 🧲 Adhesive Magnetic Tablet Wall Mount Holder (Two Pack) Laura 👕 Tahnee Kelland T-Shirts Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY BEST FRIEND'S HUSBAND GOT A HAIR TRANSPLANT AND IS ASKING HER TO LIE ABOUT IT My best friend's husband has gone from barely-there hair to a full comeback and he's been telling everyone it's down to diet and stress reduction. She knows the truth. Their friends know the truth. And now she's been put in the impossible position of actively upholding a lie she never agreed to, while everyone around her silently raises an eyebrow. Q2: MY ABUSIVE EX IS NOW WITH ONE OF THE GIRLS HE CHEATED ON ME WITH. DO I WARN HER? I was in an incredibly volatile relationship for three years; emotional abuse, multiple women, dating apps running the whole time. Four months out, I'm working on myself. Now I'm watching him post his new girlfriend all over Instagram. It’s one of the girls he was seeing behind my back. I want to warn her. But am I out of line? Q3: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE HEN GETS BLOTTO AT HER HENS PARTY? The hen got blotto, passed out, the night ended early and now the blame is flying. Is it the guests? The bridesmaids? The maid of honour? Or the hen herself? Q4: I CAUGHT MY FRIEND REHEARSING HER STORIES IN THE MIRROR BEFORE A DINNER PARTY I walked back into the room and my close friend was standing in front of the mirror, running through full sentences and hand gestures for a story she was planning to tell at dinner later that night. I reversed out quietly. She then told the exact same story, exactly as rehearsed. Is this genius? Is this deeply weird? Is this something everyone secretly does?

Offcuts: There's a Mouse in My Car, Drag Queen Trademark Wars & Are You Scared of Failing or Being Seen Failing?

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your little weekend snack!We kick things off with a very pressing issue: Laura thinks there's a mouse living in the roof of her car. Keeshia shares her own rodent origin story where she spent her honours year in a biomedical research lab dosing rats with very high quality drugs. Laura's mouse had a rougher life. We also revisit the great childhood mouse escape where approximately 15 pet mice gnawed through their cage and moved into the family home, which did not end well for them. Then we get into it: Uber has dropped its Lost and Found Index for 2026, and the list does not disappoint. Patagonia the brand vs Pattie Gonia the drag queen & the trademark war that's taken over everyone's algorithm. Ballmaxxing. Men are injecting saline into their scrotums at home to make their testicles firmer, rounder, and more even. Is this actually so different from what women have been doing for years? Is it the fear of failure, or is it the fear of people watching you fail? TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Britt's on holidays, Laura & Keeshia are running the show (nom noms still on ice) 0:50 — Laura has a mouse in her car.

Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss. The Club No One Wants To Be A Part Of. Uncut with Irena Gilbert

Back in 2020, we released an episode titled “Talking Miscarriage” where Laura spoke about experiencing not one but two miscarriages. It is an episode that people still message us every week about. Six years ago the topic of miscarriage was still pretty taboo, and it has changed slightly but it’s still an experience that leaves so many people feeling alone and grieving privately.Today’s guest has unfortunately experienced miscarriage a number of times. We first got to know Irena Gilbert on The Bachelor Australia back in 2020. After that final rose, her and Locky have gone on to get married and build a life together! Before welcoming their daughter Ava in February 2024, Irena experienced multiple miscarriages; her first in 2021, her second in 2023, and now another just 2 weeks ago. Today we're sitting down with Irena to talk about something that affects one in four pregnancies in Australia, and yet still so often goes unspoken, pregnancy loss. This conversation is not easy. But it is important, generous, and going to reach a lot of women who need to hear it. Irena brings something rare to this conversation: she is both a woman who has lived through pregnancy loss multiple times, and a nurse with over 15 years of experience caring for women going through the same thing. The gap between what she knew clinically and what she felt personally is something she speaks to with a lot of honesty. We chat: When Irena & Locky spoke about having kids Why their Covid-interrupted season actually gave them something most Bachelor couples never get Her first pregnancy loss and why she felt she wasn't "allowed" to grieve it How the second miscarriage How partners grieve differently, and why their pain gets left out of the conversation What miscarriage actually looks like physically The statistics: roughly 280–300 miscarriages happen in Australia every day Pregnancy after loss: why Irena couldn't let herself feel excited, couldn't take photos, and was still waiting for something to go wrong on the day Ava was born Her third and most recent loss two weeks ago Why this one hurt the most and what her obstetrician said that finally made sense of it "At least you have a healthy baby" - why well-meaning words can be the most dismissive thing you can say Why pregnancy loss and infertility are different experiences that don't need to be compared You can follow Irena on Instagram Free counselling is available from Red Nose Grief and Support Line Timestamps 0:00 — Intro 2:20 — Bachelor 2020, meeting Locky, and talking kids on their very first date 4:40 — The Covid season: why six months of phone calls gave them something most Bachelor couples never had 6:40 — Going back to nursing after the show and why it kept her grounded 8:30 — First pregnancy loss 12:00 — Laura shares her own experience: the complicated feelings of an unplanned pregnancy lost 13:40 — How the second miscarriage unlocked everything she'd buried from the first 20:40 — How Locky processed it 23:05 — What miscarriage actually feels like physically 29:25 — The statistics: 280–300 miscarriages a day in Australia, and that's only the ones that are known about 30:00 — Pregnancy after loss: not allowing herself to get excited, not taking photos, waiting for something to go wrong 35:20 — Why she struggled with social media pregnancy announcements and the joy she'll never fully have back 36:00 — The third loss: two weeks ago 38:20 — Why this one hurt the most: her obstetrician's explanation that finally made sense 39:30 — "At least you've got a healthy baby" — why this is the most dismissive thing you can say, even when it comes from love 43:10 — The grief Olympics: pregnancy loss and infertility aren't competing, they're both just really shit 45:20 — Laura's experience of her second loss, and the complicated way miscarriage can clarify how much you want something 49:20 — The shame hangover: why women of our mothers' generation stayed silent, and what that cost us 53:20 — Her mum's stillbirth, growing up knowing about it, and being a rainbow baby herself 54:05 — What she wants every woman who hears this to know See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steven Bartlett Ruined His Life With Three Glasses of Wine & The Comedian Who Got Fired For A Racist Skit

Hey Lifers! Britt is living her best life in Italy so it's Laura and Keeshia holding down the fort for this one. Laura gives us a little update on her first weekend away without the kids; two whole nights, dinner at 6:30pm with a seven minute door-to-car turnaround, and it’s pure bliss. She's also heading to India tomorrow at 5am for a ten day work trip and we get a bit of the BTS of what’s in store for the trip.Keeshia is in one of those ‘scattered’ phases where she keeps doing stupid things that frustrate her, the people around her and also can be quite expensive ‘accidents’. We share your worst roommate stories and they are some of the most unhinged messages we’ve ever read. Some are disgusting, some are absolutely deranged, and one involves a Tinder date being called to fix a blocked toilet. A self-described comedian posted a video that racked up nearly two million views, cost her a job, and ignited a national conversation about race, satire, and what Australians are and aren't allowed to say; and she has not apologised to a single person. We question if "it's just a joke" can protect you legally in Australia? What are your actual rights as an employer when a staff member's public views trash your company values? And what does it say about us as a society that there's now a $46k crowdfund in her name? “Optimisation culture has made us all miserable.” Steven Bartlett said that three glasses of wine ruined his life for three days. We ask whether we've all been so busy tracking our bio stats that we forgot to actually have fun. We chat sleep scores, going alcohol free, nonna maxxing, friction maxxing (more maxxings, we know, we know, we’re all over them) and adding ‘whimsy’ into your life in 2026. Don't forget to slide into our DMs @lifeuncutpodcast with your questions or any remaining unhinged roommate stories we didn't get to.

Ask Uncut - I Know My Friend Baby Trapped Him, The Mother-In-Law Posting His Ex and The Ex Crawling Back

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Big news this week: this is Britt's last episode before she heads off on a month-long holiday through Europe with Ben. Laura and Keeshia will hold down the fort next week and no, they are not wheeling in the big box TV like a substitute teacher. Fresh new content is dropping throughout, so don't go anywhere. Vibes of the week: Britt 📺 Worst Ex Ever on Netflix Keeshia 🩲 Aunt Flow period underwear Laura 🧳 Cubey Packing Cubes by Holly Kingston and Jimmy Nicholson Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS POSTING PHOTOS WITH MY HUSBAND'S EX-WIFE ALL OVER FACEBOOK They've been together ten years. He was married before and, from what he's told her, his mum and his ex-wife didn't get along. Then out of nowhere: three separate Facebook posts of the mother-in-law at brunch with the ex-wife. Her friends think it's a deliberate dig. Her husband won't say anything because he hates conflict. Q2: MY FRIEND IS PREGNANT AND I KNOW IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT Her friend has had an on-and-off friends-with-benefits situation for years with a guy most of their group doesn't approve of. Now she's pregnant. The problem: just weeks earlier, the friend had told her she was thinking about not taking the morning after pill and that "if there was anyone to have an accident with, it was him." She doesn't know how to show up, can't pretend to believe it was a surprise, and doesn't know whether to say anything. Q3: SHE CHEATED. NOW HE'S USING IT AS AN EXCUSE TO BARELY COME HOME OR BE A DAD A six month old baby, both on six-figure salaries, and the husband has decided to take a career change that means he'll only be home once or twice a month. When she raised concerns, he turned it back on her and accused her of not wanting to take responsibility for their child. The reason he's doing this? She cheated on him. Q4: MY EX LEFT ME FOUR MONTHS INTO OUR MARRIAGE FOR THE LOCAL BARMAID. NOW HE WANTS ME BACK. Five years together, two kids, four months into marriage - and he left. It's been two years of courts, separation and his bad behaviour (which he now admits was jealousy over her new partner). He's begging to come back. She still loves him. She misses the family unit. Her little boys keep asking for Mummy and Daddy to live together again. She's now in a new relationship with a man who is wonderful to her kids. She doesn't know what to do.
