Life Uncut - Ask Uncut - Millennials eye shadow is out!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Life Uncut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose lands were never ceded. We pay our respects to their elders past and present. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. This episode was recorded on Darug Wollamutta land. Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm Brittany. Do you know what I've come to realise? realized please enlighten me do you know what i can realize that i don't know i don't know english

Starting point is 00:00:33 that i actually can't pronounce words no i have come to realize because of watching our youtube channel that we have now because we're youtubers yeah look at you youtube we swear too much especially me you say you realize that because i told you that i literally went through all the videos before they went live and i said hey disclaimer you might want to check this because you are swearing like a trooper and you're like no it'll be fine i was like no it'll be fucking fine i think from memory you're like fuck you britney it'll be fucking fine there was one youtube which i apologize if you are easily and now i'm like looking at the camera like i'm talking talk to me okay if you are easily offended by swearing there is one youtube video that it was

Starting point is 00:01:15 producer keisha and i but we were talking about swearing that's the whole premise of it and you can't really talk about swearing without doing the swearing because it was kind of a crucial to the story but it's a lot so if you go to that if you watch that video first you might be alarmed so instead you should go to the world's biggest porn star because that would be less alarming angela white also great didn't swear actually didn't swear didn't swear did talk about anal a lot though so i think some people might find that more confronting than swearing no but she's you know potato potato she spoke about anal so casually so diplomatically and intellectually and like i found it fascinating listening to her talk and the way she was speaking she could have

Starting point is 00:01:53 speaking about what she had for breakfast you know the way she delivers it because she's so articulate so the way she speaks doesn't sound like it's about anal she's like that's how in that moment i realized that my fist did fit in my ass and i'm like totally like it was the delivery i was like yes yes queen her voice is smooth as butter also not surprising that that has been our most watched youtube so far yeah because it's all men they're not subscribing to we just got to watch angela why we did not gain a single additional listener but we do have a lot of views on that one single video and when i say a lot i mean like just more than the others because it only launched on tuesday so if you haven't seen the youtube state like the station wow

Starting point is 00:02:35 my brain is station if you guys haven't gone to our youtube station on planet laura it's a channel on our youtube channel yeah it's new it's fresh it's fun go hey guys I am gonna speak my mind out loud that's what we do in a podcast I'm having a really hard battle internal battle with being happy and sad oh what happened in a very particular situation this normally would make people really happy so Ben who lives over in Scotland lives about 45 minutes to an hour away from my sister Sherry and her husband Jay who are like the other two closest people to me in my life and they're hanging out all the time and I know I've said this before I'm like it's so good that they're getting to know each other but

Starting point is 00:03:20 now it's like it's too much for my heart and I don't know what to do because I'm jealous in a way of like they're living the life I want and I know I've said it before but I just now got off the phone to Ben and I was like oh that's so great I'm like really happy for you guys because he's like Oh, he just spent the last two days at their house and now they're coming to his house. He's like, oh, Jane and Sherry are coming next week and we're going to the match and then we're going to go to Switzerland. He's like, I'm taking them back to my hometown

Starting point is 00:03:51 and we're staying at my home and I'm going to show them about where I grew up and stuff. And I was like, I haven't been to where you grew up. And he's like, yeah, I know that's something that like I should probably be doing with you, but, you know, you're not here and so I'm going to take them and show them my childhood. And I was like, like a knife in the heart. that's wonderful i was like sherry can tell me all about your childhood and i don't know what

Starting point is 00:04:12 to do with those no i i understand i think that is completely warranted i think it's the part when your sister the amount of like mileage and like air time face time that she's had with your partner exceeds the amount of face time that you've had with your partner no her physical time yeah that's what i mean like no i don't mean face time as in like on face time i mean face to face time so face to face real face to face time exceeds what you have spent with your actual partner it probably is the moment where you go this isn't ideal it's not it's the hanging out's fine but they're like embracing their childhood and like all getting to experience all that that was unnecessary he doesn't need to show your sister that no jay's going to and then they're

Starting point is 00:04:49 like all our friends gonna come over for a barbecue and they'll meet people and i was like i don't know anyone in your life i don't exist you don't stop it the daily mail says you exist in his life that's all that matters yeah that's true as long as i get the click so like you know that was a bad joke sorry that was a joke don't cancel me can we go back no but what i'm saying is is kind of like one of the reassuring things when you're doing long distance with someone who is famous in scotland is what ben is because of what he does when people google him like if ever chicks on a night out and she's like ben all that comes up is like a very hot photo of the two of you together which is disarming so like thanks laura no because it would make anyone be like

Starting point is 00:05:33 oh i don't have a chance like just to be clear i wasn't worried about any other women but thank you for that in my head this was just about my sister you have nothing to worry about also your sister's married so like she's not going to cut your grass everything's fine she's not cutting my grass hey you know what else i read i wanted to bring this up today and it couldn't be more fitting i read something yesterday that i didn't realize i was going to bring up today i was just upset by it myself what's god this is gonna make me sound old what's the young generation called again disease okay that makes me old z or x z or z we're millennials sorry to all the gen z who are listening to this who don't apparently wear eye makeup anymore that's what i want to talk to you

Starting point is 00:06:11 about gen z and use fucking drunk elephant skincare products i've read yesterday that gen z has cancelled eyeshadow no i saw that mamma mia article as well it's everywhere yeah but it was mamma mia who started it it was on their instagram i went into the deep spiral of oh my god am i old i wear eye makeup you got to click on the article and actually read the content apparently they do they just use it minimally and they use a rose blush can i just interject no this is not mamma mia it's tiktok it's trending on tiktok which is the most millennial thing yeah no mamma mia just took it off this has gone for ages it's a thing that mamma mia is just reporting on from yeah but i walked in today with some eyeshadow on i still put some but i put less on because i was

Starting point is 00:06:52 like oh I better put their eye I walk in Keisha's I've never seen her with heavier eyeshadow in my life look at it which is hilarious because producer Keisha you were the one who always says like I sit on the cusp between Gen Z and millennial I like to lean into my Gen Z not today girlfriend no that big tan eyeshadow otherwise I got ready in the dark okay we started really early this morning and I actually did it we started at seven the sun comes up at five what time were you getting up when I was putting makeup on today it was all like not natural lighting which I usually have I did have the lights on but they're very warm so I didn't realize how hectic it was I just went to the bathroom here at work and I was like whoa I just thought you

Starting point is 00:07:27 went no it looks great but pushing the younger gen wouldn't like it but what I also thought was funny I was really in this spiral because I love a bit of eyeshadow I do the under eyeshadow as well instead of eyeliner like you know how you go around the whole eye I kept on reading it and the trend that's in which is so going to benefit you Laura is that the trend that is in is looking tired and keep fuck yeah and keeping bags under your eyes that's what come for me gen z no one does it better than laura burn that is my shit you don't have to spread your leg i am ready you are born you wake up every day and you could hit a catwalk according to gen z because they're like what is in is no makeup and that really tired like pete davidson under eye look and i feel like

Starting point is 00:08:08 you rock that thanks brit that's a real compliment for me i was saying to producer keisha today in the car on the ride here since having children and I didn't say this is like a story top you know Keisha was saying that she had a really bad night's sleep and Laura's like fuck you don't talk no she she said she you know she was up for two hours trying to get to sleep and it was it resulted in a bad night's sleep and I was like you know what and I know that I I hate being the person that is gonna do what I'm about to do I was like because no one wants to compete on who had the worst sleep I was like but that you did is so normal like the version that you just gave me then is so normal to me that that wouldn't even rate as a bad night's sleep that's a brilliant

Starting point is 00:08:45 i wouldn't even complain about that because i'm so used i feel hung over a hundred percent of the time okay i'll see myself out it's probably because i drink every day no that's a joke she goes i drink myself to sleep every night and i feel hung over every day no i do i wake up feeling hung over every day or just like a little bit exhausted from the second i wake up until the second I go to bed. And I am half joking. Anyone that is watching this on our YouTube station at the moment, you can see that Laura doesn't have a bag under her eye. You look amazing. Must be the profiler, the filler, not filler that you had. I just joke that, you know, you are always tired because you never sleep well because you have little kids. You don't have to clarify. I know

Starting point is 00:09:26 I look like shit a hundred percent of the time, but I'm trying harder now because people can see me. I have just, and I've always been like this. I think I've never been somebody that goes with the trends. I've never, if I like something, I will do it. I don't care if someone tells me it's out. I'm going to continue to wear my eyeshadow for as long as possible. That's where I want to get to. I think that's a good idea because you're also not 14. So if the 14s are telling you it's cool, you don't need to. It's like up to like 28 or something, Laura. All right. Well, it's still a decade younger than me. Anyway, moving along. I wanted to tell you guys, give you a little update in my personal life. Matt is home. It was very exciting. He's back from Vegas. He, the poor

Starting point is 00:10:03 thing he got a bit upset with me last night because he walked in the door and I was so happy to see him and then I took my mom actually that's my vibe this week so I'll save that I took my mom and my mother-in-law to the theater last night and left Matt and when I got home it was like 11 o'clock and he was still awake and I looked at him and I was like I love you and I'm so glad you're home but you look like shit and he was like yeah it's been a week of drinking and partying and working and not getting any sleep so he's really feeling the effects but then he got really sad and he was like that's a really mean thing to say i was like it's fair it's fine i don't think you should tell your partner that they look like shit when they've just come home yes from vegas though

Starting point is 00:10:41 like of course he looks like shit he's been partying have you seen the hangover hasn't been at a wellness spa he's been at vegas like exactly it's a warrant i would be shocked if you didn't say that yeah i was like i love you and i'm so happy to see you and you're still a very sexy man but you just look a little bit shitter than you left yeah that's all that's all i'm saying i'll validate that all right thank you and the other life update is i was talking about on tuesday the girls were getting a kitten and yesterday we went out to the pound where we got the kitten from it's from sydney cats and dogs which honestly i mean it's a bit of a drive from where i am but there are so many animals and they do such incredible work and we got there and i reckon

Starting point is 00:11:21 there was like 30 to 40 kittens and cats that all needed homes apparently this is kitten season didn't know that they were seasonal but apparently there's like a time of year where all the cats are getting it on and then all the kittens are being bought in bus shelters and stuff yeah and it was so overwhelming for Lola and Marley because we walked in there and there was so many kittens and at the start Marley was really into it she was like this one this one and I was like stop throwing the kittens she just throws them into the car she's like I'll take that one only eight lives left now she was kind of just like carry them around like they were toys anyway I had to like really downscale her energy but Lola was so reserved and she didn't want to pick them up

Starting point is 00:12:02 she wanted to touch them but she was really timid and really kind of a bit frightened by them and I think it's because like kittens are really playful and they've got little nails and stuff but she was really not as excited as I thought she was going to be she was more scared yeah it's an overwhelming environment she's only three totally and also giving her the responsibility of choosing one when there's 40 like the kids get overwhelmed in a toy shop let alone getting animal that they know that they're going to have to take care of and all that sort of stuff. So this went on for a while. We were there for like two hours and then, you know,

Starting point is 00:12:32 halfway through Marley had already gotten over it. She was like, whatever, pick the one you want, I don't care. And she was like overlooking at like the Christmas cards and stuff and Lola was still like meticulously looking through all the kittens and then she found this one and she picked it up and it was a tiny little run to the litter. She was carrying it around underneath her chin and it was just sitting in her hands and she kept on going,

Starting point is 00:12:51 I love you, I love you, I love you. And, you know, I was too busy trying to, like, take care of Marley. And then after, like, literally 40 minutes, I realised she'd been holding on to the same cat for 40 minutes. So is that the one you got? That's the one we got. Oh, cute. And she was so sweet.

Starting point is 00:13:07 Like, by the end of it, she was absolutely obsessed. So now we have a little kitten. Its name was or is Jupiter. It'll soon be named Raspberry. Jupiter? And we don't get to bring her home for a couple of weeks. Because it's too small. Too small.

Starting point is 00:13:18 Cute. They did offer for us to take two home. I was going to say, why didn't you get it a friend? Yeah. Well, okay, so they said you should take two home and have two until they're about 14, 15 weeks because what that does is it stops them. They learn a bite inhibition it's called.

Starting point is 00:13:32 So they bite each other and then they learn, oh, that's not nice. I don't want to bite someone. It doesn't feel good. And then they don't bite humans. And so I was trying to convince Matt and Matt was like, if you come home with two cats, I will divorce you. He's like, I know I look like shit, but you also can't bring in two more animals to the house.

Starting point is 00:13:48 He's going to divorce you anyway because now you've got a cat that's gonna bite him thank you because i was like you're gonna not like the cats the cat's gonna bite so like let's just get two and then they'll love each other and he knows that if i bring two home we'll keep two of course you will that's the whole point i can just do it anyway jupiter and pluto how cute you know what you should do strawberry and raspberry oh my ovaries exploded you should get one get it on camera get a second one and just put it in the yard and don't say you brought home and say oh my god there's a cat is coming to our yard it's from the same glitter if they look close enough it could be convincing that you've just got the one well if

Starting point is 00:14:26 you never see it's like batman you could call it batman anyway we get to bring her home in a couple weeks time i'm so excited it's so beautiful that is really exciting my ovaries are also on fire but i think that's my period thank you it's your ovulation it's my ovulation yeah anyway let's get into our vibes and unsubscribes for the week okay my vibe is something that is so practical something that I have been using it is there are so many different brands and different names but essentially it's called a Tide pen now Laura you saw me pen yeah you saw me use this last week actually I did and it is brilliant producer Keisha you need a Tide bucket you do so if you're somebody like me that you end up Laura you too but you end up with like coffee stains on you or food or you

Starting point is 00:15:11 spill something you guys remember I spilled coffee on me last week a Tide pen is a it's a whitening pen for clothes or it's just not even whitening it's a stain remover it doesn't white you can use it on color well you can have white just white but you can also just have a color that's a stain remover and it just looks like a whiteout pen the same size you can get it from literally anywhere spotlight woolworths supermarkets amazon online if you want to do an order and it just so i spilt coffee on myself and i learned this from our radio co-host mitch churi he took one around europe with him when he came over to me and I was like and I needed it one day I spilled coffee all down me and I was like on our way out he's like hang on Brit I have a Tide pen that's an elite human when you've

Starting point is 00:15:52 gotten to the point of organization in your life where you walk around with a stain remover pen in your handbag yeah like that is an elite level of adulting and so you just I had a millennial yeah you just dub it on for a second it dries it takes the stain out put it back the pen back in your bag I was like this is life-changing for people like me so that is my very practical vibe for the week some people cure cancer and britney cure stains here she is not all heroes okay say just carry a pen but she's a keisha what is your vibe okay try and top that keisha well I was going a video editor jono butter boy and I were talking about this and I was going to recommend griffin's marvel golden gay time biscuits but I love that some podcasts they do they're like hey

Starting point is 00:16:36 my recommendation for the week is this really obscure political podcast because I'm so smart we're like tired pants and gay time yeah but we we do all different kinds of things to be fair I have actually done political podcasts before so I feel like this is light and shade look I'm just going to really quickly recommend that the reason I'm not this is not my main recommendation is because you said something to me just before we started recording and I was like actually that's a better recommendation but they're from Coles and they're fucking delicious but my actual recommendation for the week is a face tan serum now this particular one i feel like i have tried 10 different brands and i've wanted one that looks natural and doesn't look too oompa loompa orange

Starting point is 00:17:15 also doesn't dry out your skin because the chemical that is in fake tan can dry out your skin and i have somewhat sensitive skin i found one that i really really like and is working for me it's the barley body one so it's 29.95 and it's like the serum and i put it on my face and I use a brush to kind of make sure that I get it in all the nooks and crannies you know so that you get your ears and all that kind of thing anyway I'm absolutely loving it what I really like is that I feel as though it cuts down the amount of foundation that I wear because you know you just get that little bit of color back to your face and you don't feel like you need to put yes we could put it under your eyes just a little bit of life anyway for me the color of this one is

Starting point is 00:17:52 absolutely perfect so I have an olive base to my skin I'm not sure if it would work as well with pink based skins but yeah i really recommend this one i'm loving it i don't like face waters i'm gonna put it out there this one's a serum so it's face waters i always think i look yellow like i've i like i've got jaundice yeah it might just not be for you for your skin but you have an olive italian skin anyway you might be good with this one because i found the same thing with previous ones i found that the color has just hasn't been right and it looks funny this one i find looks quite i mean you tell me i think it looks natural i'm give it a crack and my recommendation for this week is it's a bit Sydney based at the moment but it's making its way around

Starting point is 00:18:31 Australia and if it was if you're in Melbourne yeah go to Mardi Gras no my recommendation is last night I went to the theater I went and saw Ann Juliet at the theater it's at the Lyric Theater in Sydney Rob Mills he's one of the leads there's like probably three or four leads in the show he unfortunately was sick last night and it was the understudy but even the understudy was incredible it's got Casey Donovan in it the singing is amazing and this recommendation comes from someone who is a self-proclaimed not a theatre person I do not normally enjoy the theatre I would not normally go but the only reason why I said yes to this is because my mum at musical theatre oh she loves it so much it's weird I don't know how we share the same DNA but she loves it so

Starting point is 00:19:11 I took her and I took Matt's mum and funnily enough as we were sitting in the chair Matt's mum leans over to me and goes I forgot to tell you I hate musicals and I was like perfect this is i'm glad i bought us all very expensive tickets to go and see i'm so glad we can all share this together but you love i yeah and i don't like musical theater and i thought it was incredible and ellie walked out of there and she was like that was really good like genuinely surprised by how much she enjoyed it and my mom was like fucking she was gyrating on the floor so everyone had a good time what type of a story is it so the storyline to it it's so romeo and juliet but this is juliet's story so basically and the thing that's really cool is it kind of links in little

Starting point is 00:19:48 bits of history. So William Shakespeare, no one would know this, but he had a wife who he didn't actually spend any time with. She had three sons and he just focused all his time in writing plays. And the story is kind of based around William Shakespeare's wife wanting to rewrite Romeo and Juliet to be the story that was for her. She changes the ending and the ending is all about it being like a feminist empowering play written by a woman where Juliet finds her own agency. It's cool. It's very funny. It's a comedy, but it's done really well. That's my recommendation. Alrighty guys, let's crack on into the questions. Question number one. I went out for a date with a guy where we're just going to go for a drink. I drove there though, so I was expecting

Starting point is 00:20:29 to have two glasses of wine max over a possible two hours. He sat down, said he would be getting a bottle of wine, not even asking about my preference. I told him I'd prefer a glass than that I was driving and he said, nope, that's definitely going to change. You are going to be drinking more staying for the bottle and eventually we will go back to yours instant ick yeah instant ick i immediately felt uncomfortable and was very shut off from wanting to get to know this person which i eventually voiced after i finished my one glass he was on his third i very respectfully said that i would be heading off and to be polite i said hey let me know your bank details so i can transfer you for half of the bottle this morning i woke up to his

Starting point is 00:21:16 bank details and he told me the bottle was $90. This is probably one of the worst dates I have ever been on. Do I have to send him the half of the money? Help. No, just don't reply. Is that mean? I don't, honestly, if this was me, it's nice that you offered your glass of wine. Maybe it was if it's a $90 bottle of wine, let's say a glass of wine at a huge stretch, a huge stretch was 20 bucks right that's what probably what you owe if you want to be super nice send them 20 but otherwise just don't reply would you reply i wouldn't i actually don't know which is why i wanted you to answer it first all right look let me be harsher i wouldn't bother replying because you're never going to see the guy again and you don't care and also he drank fuck it he drank a

Starting point is 00:22:03 third of the bottle totally he didn't ask you what you wanted he ordered on your behalf you asked and said you only wanted to have a glass and then i mean look you shouldn't have said oh i'll transfer you for half of it. That's why he sent it to you. But at the end of the day, sometimes it's okay to be a little bit of an asshole. And in this instance, I think it's fine for you to go, do you know what? I've changed my mind. I don't want to transfer you a $45 for something I didn't drink. Nah, I'm not doing it. And I don't care. I would not, if someone told me that I wouldn't be like, Oh, you shouldn't really. Just whatever. Your facials right there. I just want to repeat what you did what i'd be like you heard it here first guys from laura burn put that one on your

Starting point is 00:22:49 bumper sticker you've actually dissuade me but i always do this thing where i feel like if i've said it i would have just transferred the money like if i had said to him hey transfer me the money i understand why she said it that awkwardness at the end of the date it's always that throwaway thing where you're like hey let me know and i'll pay half not ever expecting them to make you do it but then I there's a part of me that's like oh I probably should just pay for it because I did offer it and I told him and I don't want to be a knob but then you've sort of changed my mind now Laura because I'm like you know what you are right he was a dick the assumption that you were just going to get wasted you even told him you were driving and then he's like no fuck that you're

Starting point is 00:23:23 gonna leave your car we're going back together the assumption that he was going to get you drunk so that he could come home to your house is pretty gross I mean it's more than pretty gross we can all agree on that i just think sometimes and this is a very much a female trait which we need to be better at sometimes we are so worried about offending people and we want to be nice and we want to be you know we want to be seen as being a nice person so therefore we do and we say things that are beyond the scope of what we need to do and say i.e in this instance you were like oh let me know and i'll transfer you for half a bottle you went home you thought about it that is not fucking happening and you don't need to be the nice person in this equation and yes he will think

Starting point is 00:24:00 you're a dickhead yes he will be the one who feels like he's hard done by and maybe you should have given him $15 or $20 for a glass of wine right sure he's not going to be financially destitute because you don't transfer him for your one glass of wine but he should really think about his behavior in trying to apply someone for alcohol and get back to their house to sleep with them so I think that's way more problematic and if it means that he loses out in $15 well fuck him I don't care well yeah sorry that's I like now I've just gotten really passionate about no i also i'm on your team now i think at the end of the day it was a first date he bought you a glass of wine that's what this is yeah it was a first date that didn't go well you didn't vibe

Starting point is 00:24:36 him he bought you a glass of wine you went your separate ways i don't think you even need to reply now even though the part of me is like oh you did offer it block him yeah yeah definitely put him on that website where you where you say i went on a bad date with this guy no don't do i'm joking don't do that just don't pay him you don't have to pay him for 45 bucks but also it's a real lesson for us as women to realize and it definitely gets easier with age but to realize that when you you don't have to be in a situation if you don't want to just because you said you would at the beginning like i get that you agreed to go on that date and i get that you were there and you've ordered a wine but the second that something changes and you feel uncomfortable

Starting point is 00:25:14 you can fucking leave like you can be like oh you know what we are on different pages like i wanted to come and get to know you you've already said no you're going to be drinking this whole bottle basically so I can take you back and take advantage of you, you can get up and be like, hey, you know what? Not for me. Not for me. And I think that's a really important lesson to take home. And also the other part I think on top of that lesson,

Starting point is 00:25:34 but like if you say that you're going to do something and I know that there's that whole saying like your word is your, what is it? I've forgotten it now. Okay, Gandhi. You're on fire today. You know what they say? Something about your word being like one of the most important things,

Starting point is 00:25:50 you know. basically what I'm trying to get at is that your word is very much kind of links into your credibility, right? So if you're someone who says something and does something else, that makes you a bit of a shitty person, right? Respectful if you follow through. Totally. But in this instance, one, he's someone whose opinion you're not going to care about in the future. And two, it's okay to say something in a moment and then have time to reflect and decide, actually, that's kind of unfair to me and I don't want to do that anymore and sometimes you will have to make and have a conversation where you say hey actually I changed my mind and this is how I feel and explain yourself

Starting point is 00:26:24 this is not one of those instances I don't think and you are not a terrible person by not transferring him the money if it was a different situation I might feel differently but this specific situation I would not reply and I would just get on with my life and c'est la vie what a gross guy though got it gross but you know what that would have been hot if you were into it and you had been seeing each other for a long time and like you were banging already it would have been hot if someone's like finish up that bottle because i'm going to take care of it fuck you hot first date ew ew ew okay question number two jono's laughing in the corner he's taking notes all right my boyfriend of 15 months is sweet kind generous and patient i on the other hand

Starting point is 00:27:07 and passionate and fiery you sound toxic I crave excitement and stimulation sounds like a catch I crave excitement and stimulation but find my relationship very comfortable and complacent my boyfriend has a good job and studies but is happy to live a fairly simple life and doesn't push himself too hard despite this he always goes above and beyond to make me feel special and loved It hurts so bad to admit, but I find myself feeling a bit bored and underwhelmed, almost as if I'm missing that spark. I know from you guys better than to dream about the greener grass or go chasing butterflies and thrills, but I can't help but feel as there's a relationship out there that would

Starting point is 00:27:47 make me happier. Am I being unappreciative? What should I do? Stay with this sweet boy. Oh, that's so emasculating. who is comfortable and safe or find someone who can match me intellectually and who I find and feel more chemistry with? I feel like we get versions of this question all the time. Like it's such a common issue in relationships, but that's at the end of the day, what dating is. We date

Starting point is 00:28:14 to find someone that is our match. That's the whole point. You don't just fall into a relationship and then you're like, oh fuck yeah. Like this is Tetris from day one. Like no one wins Tetris in dating world from the get-go it's impossible i mean some people do well mine always laid across ways across the block and i never got them to line up when i was dating i could never nail tetris in the dating i know but i also think your 20s that's for your fuck up years like you're some people get lucky and they meet someone they settle down they marry their high school sweetheart great for those people other people like us have bad relationship after bad relationship after bad relationship until you you accumulate all those lessons and then you go i'm gonna have

Starting point is 00:28:52 a good one now i just feel like if you're asking a question 15 months into a relationship and you guys are still young if you're asking a question on like should i stay i feel like there's more out there and i don't like he's great but not great enough i feel like that's your answer unfortunately chemistry's not everything but neither is he ticks boxes on paper that's not everything also and you can be the most perfect person and i've experienced it so many times i've had someone say it to me before someone say to me you tick every box on paper you're everything i want except what you except you're not except you're just not and it doesn't make sense because you should feel lucky to have these characteristics in a person and in a partner

Starting point is 00:29:35 someone that loves you and looks after you but that doesn't mean that they're your person just because someone looks off and loves you and looks after you there's a hundred people in the world that will love you and look after you in a different capacity some of them you're going to vibe with and have so much more fun with and be more on the same path with for the future than others if you are feeling after 15 months that like he's great but I'm constantly wondering what else is out there then unfortunately for me I would say I would be going to look what else is out there this is such a hard question and the reason why is because I think that there are multiple ways that we can skip it like I don't want to sit here and tell you that you shouldn't

Starting point is 00:30:10 be in this relationship because like I said at the beginning you could be the toxic one who needs to some work, but you may not be, you may genuinely be bored. And I guess firstly, what I want to say is you don't have to have a big reason or a big thing that goes wrong in a relationship to leave a relationship. Often it can be the hardest to leave relationships where everything on paper is perfect, where you know that that person is an incredible person. They have done nothing wrong. They would love you endlessly and support you endlessly, but you just don't feel enough of whatever it is, or you haven't had enough of the excitement of the drama of other relationships to be able to value the stability of the one you're in. Sometimes you've got to live a life before

Starting point is 00:30:51 you can either appreciate what it is that this relationship might've been able to bring you. But also sometimes you just meet people and you have great relationships and there's something that you cannot describe that tells you they are not the one. And sometimes you have to listen, you know, well, I think you have to listen to that, but those are, I would say some of the hardest relationships to leave because everything in your body says but they're such a good person so I should stay and I should be more appreciative and there's something wrong with me and why can't I just love them more so that I want to give validity to because if that's where you're at that's an incredibly hard place but know that you can break up with someone without having a valid

Starting point is 00:31:27 solid reason because all you feel is reason enough but question number two and sort of other way of looking at this is depending on where you're at in your own personal self healing journey and everything else you will always find a stable relationship boring at the 15 month mark if they are healthy stable consistent taking care of you and don't bring you the drama and I say I don't agree with that no no I'm saying if you're not at a place a good place in your self-healing I say this from my personal experience because some people are attracted to the drama they are attracted to the excitement the volatility in relationships but they don't realize that that's what it is. And I think that that comes with like the life lesson of repeating patterns in your

Starting point is 00:32:11 relationship. I used to prioritize chemistry, this intense, like, oh my God, I can't live without this person chemistry, but often it would result in volatility because the relationship itself spun around in toxic cycles. But I would have found a relationship like the one I'm in now with Matt, which is healthy, consistent, stable, loving. Like I just feel so safe and calm. I would have thought it was boring. I would have thought, God, Matt's such a sweet boy. I would have thought that in my twenties. And I've spoken about that before. I've said that had I met Matt earlier, he is too normal for me. And it was just lucky that I had been through all the shit that I'd been through, that I finally got to my own place in my self journey with relationships that I could

Starting point is 00:32:53 value boring. So I think before you completely discard the relationship, really, really sit with yourself and question where you're at in your own personal life and what you need and what you seem to be drawn to in relationships and in people and also can you get that stimulation that excitement from other areas like does your boyfriend give you one thing and the rest of it you can get from your friends from your family or from your own self and if the answer to that is no you don't get enough from him and you already get those things from your friends and your family and everyone else in your life, then he's not the right person for you. Well, there's two standout things here, right? And like, I agree with everything you say, but for this specific

Starting point is 00:33:34 question, she feels underwhelmed. She wants somebody to match her intellectually. And she's wondering if there's quote, somebody out there that will make me happier. I'm passionate and fiery, but passionate and fiery, that is going to subside. Passionate and fiery, fiery doesn't last in a relationship forever. But you know what does is being able to match someone intellectually. and I truly believe that I have ended relationships in the past where I felt like I wasn't on the same wavelength with somebody because we couldn't talk about the same things because we didn't have interest in the same things because we didn't understand the same things and that is when all else fades in a relationship when the physicality fades and the chemistry and the spark fades

Starting point is 00:34:14 you don't have much left but to be able to communicate with each other and if you can't communicate that's a big thing if my partner had said to me I'm constantly thinking if I would be happier with someone else that's huge like if you really are constantly thinking about if somebody's better suited and what it's like to be with somebody else you're not in that relationship anymore one foot still in but one foot's out you know yeah one foot still in the carpet and one is just on that grass ready to run I would be 100% considering that that is not the relationship for you and I don't want to tell you to pack up and leave but for me those big things that you have said are big i totally agree and you know when i was in my 20s the one very he was so

Starting point is 00:34:55 good and i would have described him as a sweet boy oh my god my ex he was such a lovely man but i was bored shitless right because i didn't need that at the time i needed the fucking drama but i remember sitting at my computer this one day and i was in this exact spot and i was googling should i break up with my boyfriend we've all been in this spot should i break up with my boyfriend because I couldn't I was like there's no reason to break up with him he's amazing and I just don't feel where I need to feel and I remember reading this one thing and it said if you're googling should I break up with my boyfriend the answer is probably yes like you seeking that validation that's a big red flag in a relationship if you're constantly seeking

Starting point is 00:35:36 validation what I think this girl's doing I think a lot of the time and I genuinely mean this a lot of the time we get questions in I think to myself this person already knows like this person's already decided but they want that extra validation from someone that's not biased I guess not a friend or a family member that's going to say no he's good for you stay yeah I often think that you guys write in and deep down you probably know the answer and you I don't know if you're hoping for the validation or if you're hoping to someone to tell you to stay I don't know but I think if you reread your own question in this in this instance you'll you will come to the same decision you're like okay I do think about being with people all the time he is not a match for me

Starting point is 00:36:13 on that level he's sweet and beautiful but a lot of people are I don't want to say leave but I'd be considering that yes I always feel bad when I say that but I'm like yeah because you just we just blew up someone's relationship no they blew it up themselves we just confirmed it's okay question number three someone I follow on Instagram posted on their story that they're looking to set up their husband's best friend on a date. I love that. I love that people on Instagram are going, you know what? This is a good guy.

Starting point is 00:36:43 Someone date him. I have a girlfriend who I want to try and do that with in the Facebook group. Jazzy. Do it. Jazzy's great. I want to find her a boyfriend. She was like, it's desperate times, desperate measures. I have an amazing friend and we need to find her a boyfriend.

Starting point is 00:36:56 I could try and do that with someone. I have someone maybe. Okay, we'll talk about that later. She's really into fitness. She loves to run. Yeah, I've got someone. He hates running, but he's into fitness. Okay.

Starting point is 00:37:04 Okay. Cool. Talk to me after the break. Find me, call me. Guys, I'm going to post Jazzy on Facebook group. Find her a boyfriend. Maybe ask Jazzy first. No, she asked me to.

Starting point is 00:37:12 Okay, put it in. Okay, I'm doing it. I'll do it tomorrow. Okay, so she listed all the qualities about him. He sounds wonderful. So let's fast track. I'm texting this guy. We go on a first date.

Starting point is 00:37:21 All is amazing. We both have really busy schedules though, which are opposites. So it means we only share a few messages a day because I'm a fitness instructor. So I work the mornings and nights when he's at home. anyhow after not speaking to him for a whole day he has sort of ghosted me at this point I accidentally sent my location on my way to work I sent him my live location at 5am in the morning when he hasn't even replied to my last text how does this happen this is actually like an accidentally unfiltered this is one of those moments where you're like I don't know if this

Starting point is 00:37:57 is an ask on cart this is like what the fuck he's not messaged me back so I'm gonna send him my location come to me daddy you know this is when you happens when you're talking to a friend you want to talk about the relationship so you go to the messages to check what the last message was it's like it's like going me saying look this is the last thing i wrote so she's gone in and she's realized that she sent him the live location what does she do at this point does she message him to pretend she didn't do it does she message him and pretend she did mean to do it or does she never see this person again oh my god just message and say i'm so sorry i didn't mean to send you that it's also a bit late now it's probably been days yes like straight away

Starting point is 00:38:37 right we i actually just think this is an accidentally unfiltered i think this guy's gone yeah but like who i don't know i i know i take that back because i do remember how much you obsess over every little detail at the beginning of dating someone like you obsess over oh my god did they find that message funny? Was it not funny? Like, what did they think of this? What didn't they think of this? I know that you feel like an idiot because you're so in your head about it. But I think sometimes we just need to take these things less seriously. Like you accidentally did something. You didn't send him a photo of your, you know, hoo-ha. So just send him a text and be like, oh, sorry about that. I really didn't mean to send that. Awkward. I probably wouldn't

Starting point is 00:39:13 at this point because he ghosted you anyway. Yeah. Like he ghosted you from your texting. You sent him your location. If he wanted to turn up to where you were at 5am, he could have, but he didn't he was asleep though to be fair he was like i missed that one send again i think that that ship may have sailed and if it hasn't you will hear from him again he's a guy he has a dick he's that's irrelevant no that part is pretty irrelevant no it is what i want to say a guy with a dick or a guy without a dick whatever guys when they want something and they're interested in somebody they're going to message even if he thinks that your live location was weird even if he's weird if he's interested in someone he'll still text you he'll just be like hey sorry was

Starting point is 00:39:54 that meant for me like he's gonna make contact the thing is is that if someone is really into you the things that you do that someone who's not into you is going to think weird they're not going to think it's weird they're going to be excited that you've shown them interest they're going to be excited that you message it doesn't matter what if you send an accidental message even if it's like a dot a full stop whatever their phone lighting up and it being your name on their phone if they're into you is going to make them excited and happy and they're going to say hey was that meant for me they're going to write back right if I was frothing a guy and he sent me his live location I'd be there totally right and so the fact that you've sent it and he hasn't responded

Starting point is 00:40:29 just indicates that he unfortunately and I know that this is harsh and I hate it but it's the truth he's not as into you as what you're into him and so it might be awkward he might have been like oh no no why did she send me that weirdo but that is an indication that he's just not at the place that you were at. And so maybe don't give this relationship any more airtime. Don't try and text him again. He knows where to find you. And if he does really like you. He knows where to find you literally. But the thing is, is like, if he does really like you, let's just say that that saying is wrong, you know, and this is the bare minimum effort that he puts in to try and maintain a relationship. It's not going to work anyway. So I think that this is a blessing in disguise.

Starting point is 00:41:12 I'm just thinking because you can send two kinds of locations you can send one that's like I just send you where I am now but you can also send one where they can follow you for like 24 hours like she set the location that's like you can see where I am for a whole day if you want to come find me wherever I am that's so actually so funny I do wish and I'd say this is someone who can look at it from the outside because I understand that it's so easy when you're in a good relationship thanks for the advice fuck off Laura but when you know do you know what I mean like totally it's so easy to give advice when you come from the comfort of like a nice happy relationship but I wish when I was dating I could have taken this part less seriously I wish I could have enjoyed I wish I

Starting point is 00:41:52 didn't scrutinize over every text message I wish I didn't get so worked up or like oh my god does he like me doesn't he like me he hasn't messaged me for a day I wish I could have just been more calm around those connections but I remember always feeling that franticness as well so I, my advice in this is like, don't make this a bigger deal than what it is. It was an accident. It's not going to change your life. And in a year's time, you're never even going to think about it. So just ignore it and move on. I do want to also say in relation to, this is just a really generalized comment. How many people, my friends included, how many people say, I don't get it though. The date was amazing. We had fun. We talked, we had things in common

Starting point is 00:42:32 that doesn't necessarily translate to somebody wanting to pursue something with you. Like you can very easily go out and have an amazing date with someone knowing you don't want to take it further I've done that a hundred times I've found somebody funny the date's gone well we've had the banter but I'm like there's nothing else there but the date was great so many people say but the date was great why hasn't he messaged me they're just not interested it doesn't have to be a personal thing either you can I just want it to really be driven home that you can have a great date and have fun with someone and then not you penguin yeah absolutely okay fourth and last question settle the debate between a girl and her partner is peeing in the pool gross he thinks that the

Starting point is 00:43:12 ocean or the river is fine but the pool is too far i think that the pool is fine because it's usually treated for that stuff right you're a pig ew you're a pig ew my daughter peed in the bath the other day and i had to empty the whole bath out and refill it because i was like you're not gonna i'm not gonna bathe you in your urine i'm shocked that there are people out there that think peeing in a pool is okay which is also alarming when so many of us have swum in public pools you're literally just swimming in human piss and chlorine you have you treated piss anyone that's been to bali you know those big beach clubs oh a pool of piss they are drunk partiers it's a pool of piss no there is one in hamilton island right okay so last year we love hamilton island

Starting point is 00:43:53 don't knock hamilton no it was incredible it was one of my most favorite places that i have ever been to but i went to one of the resorts that had a swim around pool it's like a donut shape and the bars in the middle i know the exact one it was the consistency of soup i got in it and it was so warm and there were men who had been in there and they were all drunk and it was about five o'clock in the afternoon and they were like none of them got out and i was like oh you motherfuckers are pissing in this pool right now my kids are swimming around like some like lali goes under has a mouthful of water i was like this is not okay it's not okay you are not alone if you think it's okay to piss in the pool everyone's doing it which means that that chlorine is working real

Starting point is 00:44:35 hard it's working overtime it's the chlorine's not her question is it's okay because it's treated for that stuff right no yes you put chlorine don't add to the problem it doesn't counteract you don't do like it does it's bullshit a weed does not come out the urethra like this and the chlorine's like and deteriorates as it shoots out that's not science that's not physiology that's not biology that shit ain't happening if you wean a pool that we is in the pool and other people are swimming in it so stop it stop it stop it it is dispersed though it's very very hydrated it's okay to swim in dispersed urine laura can you say dispersed again diluted urine dispersed urine Because I was going to say diluted and my brain swapped halfway.

Starting point is 00:45:23 Okay, I agree with your boyfriend and I'm going to go back to how I originally answered this question, you're a pig. Stop peeing in the pool. Ocean and rivers are fine except I always think they attract sharks so I also try not to do that. You can absolutely pee in the ocean and you can absolutely pee in a river. I just have it in my head that if I wee in a river, a bull shark will find me.

Starting point is 00:45:46 I'm petrified of it. I don't know what it is. it's one of those myth things i think when you're a kid and you hear that peeing attracts sharks i think it does attract no i think it does but i don't think that when you question that you've got to remember you're also usually swimming at a beach with lots of other people who are also peeing in the ocean so you hope there's a lot of pee circulating around that area so the sharks are coming whether you do it or not you know i agree with your partner it's not very often that we get questions written in where i confidently and without doubt disagree with the person who

Starting point is 00:46:15 was written in the question okay can i tell you how confident this listener is she's also said i thought this would be a good poll she's so confident that people are going to be on her side with the pool wing that she has asked us to poll it here's my question for you this is a real question i'm not going to do a poo in the pool either laura no farts in a jar no my question is would you ever pee in the bath no the toilet is next to i'm not a child do i look like a child sometimes you're so fresh faced why thank you but you get in the bath you get in the bath and you need to wee so then you get out and then every person has to get out and then we in the toilet what do you mean every person how many people are in your bath

Starting point is 00:46:54 i don't have a bath alone so do i no i just am asking the question because my kids always pee in the bath and then i have to question myself as to whether i empty it 90 of the time i don't i'll just say if you're gonna pee in there you can wash in it sorry it's too much our bath feels so slow and if they're one of them if the three-year-old's gonna pee in the bath i'm like that's unfortunate for you i'll just put a bit more palm olive on you today that is like i'm just gonna roll you around in the olive oil two good polls here one do you pee in the bath do you pee no would you pee in the pool for this girl like let's settle it for her because she obviously is not going to believe about what we have said so let's poll it two are you a mom

Starting point is 00:47:34 if your kid pees in the bath do you empty it and refill it or do you let them bathe in it because that's a really good question because i know you're 99 of the time i just let them bait in it and it was only the other day when lola stood up and confidently weed standing up in the bath and then my my mother-in-law was like we've got to empty it put new water in and i was like why she was like she just weed in the bath and i was like yeah that's her problem i would probably empty it yeah okay anyway that's it from us today if you have questions keep please sending them in to instagram life uncut podcast and just put ask uncut at the top your embarrassing stories you're accidentally unfiltered, anything you want us to know
