This episode was recorded on Camaragal land. Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. What's happening with your mouth, Laura? I'm Brittany. But what? Talk to us because something is not right. Like you sound funny, you look like you're speaking differently. He should just look to me and say, is your tongue small? it's because you've got ever so slightly a lisp that you don't normally have everything is swollen keisha you didn't need to point it out you know how everyone feels about the way that i pronounce

s's apparently no but the way you're speaking it's just the lips are doing something they haven't done it's like your mouth can't close at the right like spot you caught me i went and got some filler did you did you three weeks i'm three weeks after having a baby she would never i thought you're serious and i was like that was bold admission all of her lips are swollen literally from the lower lips to the top lips the fact that you even for one second thought that that could be true to be honest i forgot you're having a baby for like how little you know me no i'm i'm like three weeks out now guys everything's swollen my tongue i have so many ulcers in my mouth that everything hurts tongue and lips swollen yeah my lips are my

the lips between the hips are how swollen are they I haven't talked about my swollen vagina this time pregnancy I don't think have I I've forgotten no that was last pregnancy always keen to hear actually I watched this really funny I shared all my stories today this really funny reel from Jamie Lang's podcast okay this is the guy who's from Made in Chelsea I've become slightly obsessed with him and his wife. I didn't want to say anything. You have developed a weird obsession. You're talking about him a lot lately. You're sharing on your stories. I was like, is there some weird parasocial relationship? No, he's got a podcast with his wife. I think I actually don't know whether they're married or not. I think it's called Almost Parents or

Barely Parents or something like that. And she's pregnant and they're following their pregnancy together. Right. And some of the stuff that they're sharing is just, you know, you guys don't want to hear every single week about where I'm at with my pregnancy. So I listened to other people's content about it and today there was a woman on there who was talking about having she was like my vagina looks like a smurf like like an avatar because the more kids you have the more pressure that there is and you just everything goes blue I'm like is the circulation cut off she's a very famous comedian like she's a famous comedic actor which I don't expect you to know but that's also why she's funny because she is funny are you also sporting a smurf uh yeah yeah I'm an avatar from

Are you smurfing? Well, I just have varicose veins now, which I never had. In the labia? I have a varicose vein in my vagina. Really? Yeah, like right through. Just pulsating? Which I wouldn't have shared, but now I feel liberated

because someone else did it first. Because your social crush shared it? It paved the way. She walked so you could run. Someone had to be the pioneer of this space, and now I just want to run on her coattails. And now this random lady whose name you can't remember talked about her avatar vagina.

Laura's like, I just feel so much freedom. I'm like, me too. Literally. tag her hashtag v2 blue vagina make that trend I know it doesn't happen to everyone I know there's going to be pregnant women out there who's like I never got a swollen vagina good for you okay great love it with every additional pregnancy I have had it's gotten fatter this time it happened earlier and it's very uncomfortable and I'm just so grateful I'm pregnant in winter this time I don't have to be in a bikini at all do you want to know what I'm going to join you in this I would

never leave you alone I'm going to hashtag me too so one time I mean I haven't had a baby my vagina is not blue but one time my vagina was so swollen and bear with me it's a wild ride I was in this like new relationship a very long time ago not my ex way long ago and we're having loads of sex you know when you just get together and like you have a ludicrous amount of sex anyway my vagina was like so swollen but particularly one side like not just like not just like just one labia no but not normal like oh it just had a bit of overuse I was like what the fuck it was like elephantitis of one lip so anyway i had to go to a doctor and they were like oh you're like okay i don't remember what the term is but like i'm gonna colloquialize this they were like your

cum duct is blocked sorry what well like i can't remember the name of it but basically like whatever is producing your lubricant on one side got blocked or something and so it just like swelled up you had internal filler not real no it's real it happened to me and then and i've only just remembering it and reliving it now but like I was like so what does this mean am I gonna lose a lip and they were like no just don't have sex for a bit it'll go down but they're like it's it's just an overuse thing and then who knew that vaginas cried like eyes you know how you can get bucket yeah no mine was mine was emotionally unavailable it was blocked up it was it was not crying it was not doing anything the reason why okay so back to the pregnancy situation sorry but I am normal

on record now I mean people I don't want that headline like everything's now why you walk kind a lopsided every now and then. I'm good guys. We are good. It resolved itself. I was at the park talking to a friend. Actually, we all know who she is and we've worked with her in, I'm not going to name her. As I started saying that, I was like, she doesn't want to be named on this podcast. But her daughter goes to school with my daughter and we were all at the farmer's markets together. And she had had her third baby as well recently. And she goes, God, like the thing that no one talks about, she's like the pressure. Cause I was saying how uncomfortable I was and like I was saying it all without saying it all right like I was like

oh I'm so uncomfortable my hips my pelvis and she was like yeah man she's like for me I just had all this pressure in my vagina by the end of it like she's like the last month was hell and I was like yeah I was like I've got really bad veins and she was like in Europe and it was like this moment of realization like are we going there she was like in your labia I was like yes and then I was like oh okay this is something that women deal with and we're just not talking about it okay I'm curious As to how you know that you have, did Matt tell you or are you like surveying it? You can, you can tell, you can tell, you can tell. I also have them all down the insides of my thighs now as well.

And on the backs of my legs, I had them when I was pregnant with Lola and they kind of 90% went away. And I reckon this one's done some damage. I don't think they're going this time. We were at dinner. I mean, you were there Laura too, but I don't know if you were hearing the conversation. We're at dinner a couple of nights ago and there is another woman that everyone knows. She's like, yeah, we're not going to add her.

But she's in the media space. I'm pretty sure she's talking about it publicly to be fair. Maybe, but that's not on us. But she has just had her, those exact veins like stripped and lasered off and she was in compression tights and stuff. But after her baby as well, she said she got really bad ones and she went and treated them. So like we can get your labia treated. Yeah, but the question is how do you wear a compression stocking on your labia?

Undies? Is that just not undies? Shapewear? Yeah, I feel like you can. Spikes. Imagine if you come in this girdle that's got like straps up to the top. That might help with the pressure. I'll do anything right now.

Maybe that's a business idea. We could get like a pregnancy girdle with straps, like a onesie. I feel like that's something Kim Kardashian would have already done. She seems to like want to suck everything in. She's probably sucked a labia in at some point. She wouldn't know because she's only like birthed one of her own children. She hasn't, oh, two? Okay, I take it back.

But she's only birthed two. Don't do that to her. The rest of them are, you know. She had a medical issue. She had to have a surrogate. Anyway. Let's not go there. Anyway, that's my update, my rogue update.

And also I'm like three and a half weeks off having a baby. We're doing the countdown now, guys. Every episode. It's three and a half weeks. Yeah, it's insane. I definitely did forget, which is why I thought you just got lip filler. Back to that, though. What happened?

You got ulcers in your mouth. I have really bad ulcers. Sweating. This started by asking if you got an ulcer in your mouth, and sometimes we've made it to your blue labia again. But you do have ulcers in your mouth. Okay, got it. Okay, got it.

We always end up there. Well, here's me. I was just going to tell you how I just put deodorant in my hair as dry shampoo, but your story is way better, Laura. Did it work? No. I've done it once before. I did it at our live shows.

I actually told it at the live show a couple of years ago. We were about to run out and I was like in the little nervous sweats. It was hot. Like we're about to perform in front of 5,000 people. And I grabbed hairspray and smashed it under my arms for deodorant, not knowing. Like you know how you just like I just grabbed it and I was like running on stage and I was like why are my arms so sticky?

And I realized I had hairspray in my underarms. But no, this morning just running out the door I picked up deodorant deodorant and put it all through my hair because my hair is greasy and I was like why is it not rubbing in like why is I've got white powder and I was like do I have hectic dandruff and I was looking at my head and I was like is my scalp peeling and there's this whole process I was like what has just happened was it odorless deodorant how did you not know I can't smell I don't that's right since COVID you could do it dump on my chest and I probably wouldn't smell it don't do that though. We can cry. No, I just, my smell is at like 30%. Yeah. Right. Although, oh my God,

I haven't told you this. Am I really about to say this? This is so disgusting. Okay. The other day I woke up in the morning. I woke up in the morning. Everything you're saying right now is a choice. Remember that? No, it's, this has never happened before. You're going to make it sound like I shit in the bed. This is not where this is going. It's like speaking of dumps on chest. The other morning I woke up and I had my white, I sleep in often my white Lifeline cut merch jumper. It is so comfy.

There's some for sale still if you guys want them. But I sleep in it every night. And so I woke up in the morning. Delilah and I had had a slow morning, a little sleep in. We had a cuddle cuddle in the morning. We love having our little cuddles. Delilah, as much as she'll cuddle me properly, like where she lays her head in me, she's also very protective.

So when she's in my bed, she will face the door and like so she'll sleep with her head at the bottom of the bed and face the door and it's definitely a protection thing and she puts her back to me. She really backs her ass up into your face, doesn't she? Well, doesn't she ever. So I woke up in the morning and now my smell is bad. But I was like something stinks and I was like what is it? And I was like it smells like there's like poo in here or something

and I was walking around the house and I was like, have I walked pooing on my shoes? And no matter where I went, I could smell it because I was trying to figure out where it was. And I was, like, lifting up every shoe and I was like, no, there's no poo on that. And I couldn't work it out. And then I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror

and I was like, what's on my jumper? Delilah had backed up in me in the night and so I was cuddling her butt. I didn't know I was cuddling her butt and there was obviously poo on it and a bit of poo, of her poo, was on my top And that's why I couldn't figure out where it was because no matter where I walked, the poo was on me. So, like, I was trying to walk around my house and I was like, it was like the size of a pea but just enough sitting directly

under my nose that I was just getting a direct whiff and that was my taking a dump on my chest room. That is so rank. It's so rank. Talila needs a haircut. It was the first time it's happened. Yeah, she doesn't usually get it in there. Never.

Dogs with long hair often get, you know, little bits. You've got to keep it short back and side. That's the sexiest we've got. Talila took a dump on my chest. I don't know how we've arrived at any of these destinations so far, but I've got another story for you. We're blowing our load. Should we be spreading these out?

No, no, no, no. It's been a week, guys. There's been so much happening. Also, speaking, okay, the last thing I'm going to say about the pregnancy thing, I promise, on this episode, not ever. I was like, don't make promises you can't keep. No, is we received a message from a lifer the other day who had gone back and listened to episodes from like, you know,

a year or a year and a half ago when I was still talking about whether I wanted to have a third baby. And you said, so this is what was sent to us. Brit, you said that if I had a third baby, you wanted to be in the delivery suite. And I agreed to it on the pod. That does sound like something we would do. It does sound like something I would do. But I probably said that thinking, and you probably agreed thinking there was no third baby. At the time it was, it was a, yeah, it was like a 50, 50 roll the dice. I was like, this is never going to happen. I can agree to this. You're like, I'll just appease her. But anyway, it was sent across to us and now it's got us thinking once again should brit be in the room i haven't told matt

yet we've had a couple of conversations you and i so like pretty much when the baby's due brit is going over to see ben at the same time so if the baby does come early then like it's it's on i have i've been doing some i've been doing some rain dances and i've got some like crystals and stuff and i've been doing my manifestation that you're going to come early just so i can come and birth your child you want to see my varicose veins don't you i want to birth it i want to i want to bring the child out like that scene from The Lion King and then hold her up into the air? Would you cut the umbilical cord?

Because Matt hates cutting. And then get a really good photo op. So Matt hates cutting. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's why she's there. She's there for content. Imagine if Brit posts the photo before you do. If you use my baby as a prop, as a social media prop.

Can I? Can I? Come on. You've got heaps going for you. You've got three babies. You don't need them all. I don't have a lot. Give me a prop.

I've got a dog that shits on me. I was like, she doesn't land the same. All right. Matt doesn't like cutting the umbilical cord. It wigs him out. He hates it. I'd do it. He really hates it.

I think I've mentioned it before, but yeah, that would be your job if not. I would do that. It's like cutting calamari. Oh, it's just like me. You know, when you open a store and you've got the scissors and you're looking at the camera to get the photo, that's me with your umbilical cord, like, like waiting to cut. She puts a bow on it. Laura's bleeding out and I'm like, did you get it?

She has those decorative scissors that are massive. If you, if you guys haven't watched this on YouTube, come and watch it on YouTube. there's a lot of action happening right now okay all right look that wasn't the story I was going to tell the story I was going to tell is so the other morning right like we're still dealing with the kids getting into our bed at the moment we'll have a couple of good nights and we'll have a couple of bad nights and the other night was a bad night so we like woke up in the morning and it kind of like we do this like alternating sleep pattern in our bed where like Lola's on the left then it's me then it's Matt then it's Marley right we kind of sleep like this don't the kids

for security reasons need to be like on the inside like you've plopped one on the outside what do you roll them off because Lola always comes to my side I just kind of grab her Molly always goes around and gets into Matt's side and like that's it you know like and so we woke up anyway kids are all in the bed kids are all in the bed Molly gets up I get up Lola gets up Matt's still in the bed and he's like he's slowly waking up and he looks over to my side where Lola is and he's like babe why the fuck is your vibrator in the bed what and I was like I don't know I was like what and Lola goes oh I had it I was cuddling it I was like what she came like a new security blanket she walks around she came into the

bedroom in the nighttime open the side cabinets like we have like a cupboard open the side cabinet in the dark picked it up brought it to bed and had been cuddling it in her sleep like why how big is it it's just a tiny bush one like why i don't know sorry laura just in case you haven't seen this laura goes a tiny bush one held her hand up about a meter apart she's like it's the length of my pregnancy pillow it's just like a tiny little one it's like that's what i need to film me now Okay, for anyone who's concerned by this, firstly, it was clean. It's, you know, obviously washed after every use. I just don't know, one, why she knew it was there,

and two, I don't know why she found it, fished it out in the middle of the night time, brought it to bed and cuddled it. Do you think it's like how, you know how they say with puppies, how you're meant to get a clock and put it in a blanket and it reminds them of their mum's heartbeat? No, she absolutely had not turned it on. Do you also not remember the time when she came downstairs wearing Matt's cock ring as a bracelet?

Like, I just think she's, it's one of my favourite stories. It's a sex-positive house. they have to be stories at her 21st she's gonna die I almost died and then I had to explain to Matt because Matt was just confused he was like why is it in the bed I was like I swear I didn't use it he's like how did she find it I'm like I don't know like why are you interrogating me believe me I think maybe the sex toys need to go on a shelf she can't reach I'm gonna put it in my underwear drawer now I hear that that's where some people keep them sorry I just thought bedside cabinet was handy so do you explain to her what it is no no everyone made quite a scene so like

the problem was I was like oh my god Matt was like what like why is it in the bed anyway so then obviously Marley who's still in the room she was like what is it and I was like nothing and she's like just tell me and so then she's then interrogating me I'm being interrogated for Matt Marley's like why won't you tell me and I was like it's a back massager and then I put it up in like the glass vanity cabinets above the sink and we never spoke about it again Matt and I have not discussed it we've just pretended like that didn't happen and we've just gone on with our merry life here we are that was quick thinking i think back massager is probably the safest it's a back similar thing yeah you know they'll come across back massagers and i don't think at all i think

it's the problem is with kids is that if you make a big deal about something then the curiosity gets the better of them they want to know more and more had we just been like oh what's that doing in the bed and put it away speaking of kids we have had a lot of updates but somebody else in this room has a new addition to their family i do have a new addition a couple of weeks ago it must be about three weeks ago now I was sent an Instagram post from my boyfriend of Maggie's rescue and it was the most beautiful divine little thing these pictures of her and her story and as soon as I looked at I'm not really one I haven't historically been the type of person who's been like oh trust your intuition you know because frankly it's been wrong a lot of

that's why we don't why you don't trust it but there was just something about seeing her that I just had this gut feeling that I was like I think that's supposed to be our girl like I think that that's supposed to be our dog and since we bought the house a couple of months ago I mean a lot of people said to us in the lead up to that you know we were looking for a long time probably about six months we were actively going to inspections and it was taking up all of your Saturday mornings and that kind of thing and a lot of people were like don't let it be an emotional decision. And I was like, but getting a house for me is an emotional decision because I've had landlords, a couple back to back that were particularly strict with dogs and they wouldn't

let me have dogs at the house. And we had to have really special conditions to have Delilah. So buying a house, a big part of that for me was that I would be able to have a dog of our own, or I would even at least be able to have Delilah and not have to worry about, you know, having someone breathe down my neck. So that's been kind of the plan. We've been speaking about it for a little while and so he sent me this post and I just fell in love with her and her backstory is it's really quite heartbreaking there's quite a few gaps in like what we know about her but essentially she was found on the side of the road she had a broken leg in at least two places and there were complete breaks so like there were big breaks her tummy was apparently filled with blood

and she had a lot of like cuts and grazes and scrapes and that kind of thing hit by a car do they think then? We don't know. So, I mean, there's a couple of different theories that, you know, I spoke about with Maggie's and they said that one option is that she was adopted from a breeder. Something happened, whether she was hit by a car or, you know, she just hurt herself really badly and people couldn't afford her care. That's an option. Yeah. So cool. Drop her at RSPCA then, not on the side of the road. There's a special place in hell. But that's why I'm like, you know, she's a purebred dog. So I think realistically it's probably a case that she's gotten out or she's gotten hit by a car or something you know rather than someone just like

dumping her because even you'd like to think that yeah i mean we've worked with rescues quite a bit and the reality is a lot of people dump their animals like it happens so it's it is horrifically awful but the amount of people who are like i'm moving overseas i can't handle their personality anymore you know i can't handle their whatever traits but they do usually dump them at a shelter they don't usually just leave them on the side of the road especially not a beautiful puppy look i would hope so and they said that it's possible that she was you know born from a breeder and she escaped and like they didn't know or they didn't go looking for her but she was surrendered to like a pound of some type she wasn't claimed she went into care with Maggie's and they had to

crowdfund her surgery because it was like an extensive surgery anyway so she was in recovery and she was being nursed by some beautiful carers for a couple of weeks before you know they posted her profile that she was up for adoption and I was a bit like a dog with a bone with this because there was just something about I saw her and I was like I just have this feeling that you're supposed to be ours and so I did some like Instagram stalking right and I ended up realizing that Laura was following the rescue organization that she was being held with and so I get on the phone to Laura and I was like hey I need to know like how do you know these people I need you to messaged them for me it turns out that's exactly where you got Buster from yeah so Maggie's Rescue

is where Buster came from 10 years ago now and Vanessa who's our video editor she was a foster for Maggie so we're like all in this little Maggie's family that's for sure yeah and I'm so grateful that you did message them because they did end up getting back to me and apparently there was a vet that had applied for her who lived on the central coast who had land and already had an Aussie shepherd and I was like how the fuck are we gonna beat that you're like well let's be real probably better suited than me to some reason the vet ended up pulling out so I think we were second you know we were with the silver medal at that point we adopted her she has just been the most beautiful little thing and but it was important that Delilah got along with her you know and and

so that's all happened they're besties now it's so cute but they are little besties which was important and like yeah yeah there was a part of me that was like oh my god Delilah's been replaced but she's not been replaced because Delilah has been acting like that Delilah Delilah is pretty specific with who she likes in her friend group so I was worried yeah that she's an introverted girl that the puppy wouldn't be in the inner circle but they are besties so it's really really yeah it's been really cute seeing Delilah kind of assume the big sister role and another thing that I kind of felt I felt a little bit strange about is that a lot of the comments that came through on the post of Bonnie were like oh you're such a good person for rescuing her like you know

hero hero and I felt a bit uncomfortable about that because a part of me felt as though I was like a fake rescue hero because she is an Aussie shepherd you know like that's such a beautiful purebred you know it's not like I went and adopted the dog that had been in the pound for 300 days you know I don't think I deserve that kind of commentary and I was actually speaking about it to Vanessa our video editor's partner Jess and they have you know rescued dogs as well and she said I think a much better way for you to think about it is that a lot of people think that if they want a specific type of dog they can't rescue because you know that type of dog never pops up in rescues it's only the type of dog that they want you can only get through breeding and that kind

of thing she's like it's not true you might have to be more patient and you might have to like volunteer to foster a couple of dogs so that you go to the top of the pile but you can get all different kinds of breeds from rescue and you know she said that that story about Bonnie being an Aussie shepherd or at least we think she's an Aussie shepherd is a really good reminder that you can get different types of dogs through rescue so it's actually I mean we've now got Buster through Maggie's and also Raspberry came through a rescue as well it is staggering how many animals are put up for rescue every single year how many animals are dumped at different organizations Maggie's is a really great one because they do everything they can to rehabilitate and also

rehome. I mean, you guys know Buster's got three legs. It was the same thing. Where's his fourth one? You got lip filler? What? You got filler and Buster has three legs? When he arrived at Maggie's, they had to fund for his surgery and they've got great vets that work alongside it. But there are so many people buy animals as gifts and they think that they're going to fit their lifestyle without having any idea what goes into it. And then they're the types of animals that end up at the pound so many of them are purebreds there's mixed breeds there's just everything and also puppies lots of puppies actually i never want a puppy i want like a one year old dog i want to know their temperament i feel about kids i want to know give me the kid at

three i want to know their temperament i i loved getting buster at one because it meant that like i didn't have to go through like the teething age eating my shoes and my underwear and my Remember when Delilah ate $500 cash? Out of my bag, remember? I didn't know that story. Yeah, remember she ate – I bought one designer handbag my whole life and then she ate it within a week and she ate the money out of it. It was a whole thing.

She also like ate a pair of sunglasses. Eat the rich, she said. She had such expensive taste, that dog. She had really expensive taste. My friend came over and she ate her shoes. I was like, sorry, I'll buy you something else. No, but the question I get about Delilah all the time is because Delilah is so beautiful.

Like she's just so aesthetically pleasing. Anyway, I get all the time people ask me what breed she's from. I've said it in the past. I'll say it again. She's not from a breeder. Her mother is albino, which is a product of inbreeding. So you cannot breed two Australian shepherds that are merle. Otherwise, it's the version of inbred.

Is it the leal? Yeah. For anyone who's into this kind of thing. And 25% of the offspring, if you do breed two merles. They're blind and deaf. That's awful. It's horrible. What a horrible.

It's not allowed in breeding programs. So why does it, how does it happen? It happens when, so this is a good example. So Keisha's dog, we are pretty sure is an Australian Shepherd, but it's called a tricolour. So it's the colours that they are. So it's browns and stuff like that. Delilah, how she's like grey, that's called a merle.

Delilah's mum is all white with pink eyes, pink nose. She's an albino dog. My understanding is this is not a breeder. So we had some family friends contact us and say, hey there's a farm dog that had puppies and it looks like they just got pregnant without breeding so it's like on a farm yeah so it's there's no breeder that is illegally breeding like I was never going to go and line up at a breeder especially not one that is illegally breeding but that is the story of Delilah because I get messages all the time about like what breeder

did you get her from because people want one Delilah was just like a one-off like I just feel like I got really lucky with that opportunity as well but I'm so glad that they're besties and you're in you're in for a couple of sleepless nights for the first couple of months yeah it's been an adjustment but it's actually been there's been a couple of times that you've gone up to the gold coast and the one really good thing about having the two of them is that Delilah's like teaching her to toilet train it's so much easier having an older dog because they just show them what to do so that has been a real blessing that's what I'm hoping will happen with this kid Marley Lola sort it out

well now we've got all the fun out of the way i do have some little updates for you more serious yeah it's more serious but also like i'm fine remember a few years ago you guys if you've been here with me for a while or you just follow me on instagram you'll remember that i did that pre-skin cancer treatment so i had something called solar keratosis which they say is pre-skin cancer in inverted commas it means it's okay for now but if you leave it it will turn into or is highly likely to turn into a skin cancer and so i had one on my nose one on my lip and two on my forehead and that was about two years ago and i had to do like a topical chemotherapy treatment you put this cream on that is so cytotoxic you can't it can't touch anything you have to wear

gloves and basically whatever this cream touches it kills if you're watching this on youtube we'll pop in some photos from when I did this last time because it was pretty yeah it was like think of the most hectic chemical peel you can have and put on steroids yeah and so what it does is like you put it all over your face and over a week to 10 days it progressively gets worse and by getting worse it basically kills most things that touches but it's the idea is if there's a nasty under the skin it picks up on that so those things that it picks up on turn into like huge face red angry scabs it's like big blisters so I actually had a few extra ones that I wasn't expecting pop up at that time and for like two weeks it's awful I remember do you remember when we came in and did

radio and podcasting and stuff and it was like someone had super glued my face I couldn't laugh or smile because when you smile your skin stretches and it was so I remember having to try and hold my lips together to laugh like without pulling my lips apart because it was hurting so much anyway so that was a couple years ago I have to do it again starting basically today or tomorrow is that because you had a scan that showed something a bit yeah well I went back and did my checkup which you know if anything this is your reminder to go get checked up I left my checkup longer than I should have like when you have known things you're supposed to go back more frequently and I just got my face looks fine yeah so like even now my face is fine when I look at it

there's nothing on it that jumps out which is the scary thing and also since you did that I know how much you are you always wear a hat you always wear sunscreen every day I have multiple layers of suncream on in my makeup in my foundation in my moisturizers proper suncream hats spray suncream over the top like I wear so much suncream and protection anyway I did finally go back to this checkup and there were these things again. So basically two of them were the same ones that look like they're coming back. And there is like another new one. And she said, look, we're going to do it again. It's going to be the same as last time, but more intense. So it's like, instead of it developing over a week to 10 days and putting cream on every day, it's just like a one hit

wonder. So you go in and you put your cream on in this clinic with a doctor and you're on pain meds and things like that. They put you under a light and the light bakes it in over like a three hour period. You stay at the clinic and you can take a book or whatever, but you just have to sit there and let it do its thing. And then that's it. My understanding is you don't put anything else on for the next week or so. And it just, I guess it kills the nasties faster. It's not supposed to be any less painful. The treatment ends up the same. It's just a different way of applying it. But yeah, so over the next week, I don't know how long it's going to last, but my face will be that really big red savage scab again this is your pre-warning especially if

you watch on youtube do you want us to get you that kim kardashian face girdle thing i think i need to wear a bag over my head you can wear lola's uh book week costume the batman mask if you want that would be sick i'll bring the batman mask can you bring it in the problem i mean not the problem and the point of this is and i guess like the take-home message is about advocating for your own skin health right and going and getting your checks and lots of stuff like we all know there's like a million different checks that you're supposed to have done but in this room like Ness she's had things burnt off yeah a couple of years ago you Ness had something a similar treatment yeah from her nose I've got scars all over my body because I grew up at the beach

I then moved to the Gold Coast I like I've had a lot cut out yeah and Keisha I think from memory yours is called basal skin carcinomas is it so it's a BCC I can't remember because it was quite a while ago I've got one nasty scar because I keloid scarred but I've had quite a few cut out that they were suspicious of and they were like, look, we can either biopsy it or we can just take it out. Like either way, you're going to have a scar. So like let's – but also I got a treatment a couple of years ago. There's this new thing you can do as well where they laser the moles off.

So if you've got something that is a little bit, you know, you're not sure if it could turn into it, there's no stitches. They just laser it off. It's not the cheapest, but it's amazing technology. And I had that on my face because I had a few on my face. That's important to note that that is only for very specific things. There are so many different kinds of SCC, BCCs, solar keratosis, skin cancers, melanomas. They're all very different.

So like one treatment doesn't fit like all, you know, imperfections or nasties basically. Yeah. And I think the thing is, look, and I'm not saying this as in preaching, like I am late. I'm very late on having my skin check. I'm probably like a year overdue, to be honest. You need to go to my doctor. And also I've kind of not really known what to do because a lot of people, when you're pregnant, your skin changes.

so like skin tags get change in color your moles change in color I've got like all my melasma's come back I've got spots that weren't there six months ago so part of me is like well is there any point going now because yeah there is I don't know if there's any point going now because like my skin's changed so much in the last six months and it's going to change back once I've had the baby but the thing is is I went probably two years ago now to a place in Bonnet Junction and I kind of walked away from it feeling as though I did the mole mapping and lots of stuff like it was thorough in some ways but I kind of felt as though it was only looking for traditional melanoma changes like you and that's kind of what we've been brought up to look out for right okay

if it's really dark if it's got an irregular border they're the sort of skin cancers that we've kind of been conditioned around whereas like what you've spoken about Brit in the past and Keisha your experience with it it's like these are very different terms of coloring like sometimes it's the same color as your normal skin it's just a patch that's flakier or has more veins to the surface. There's a lot of different types of skin cancers that I don't think we have been made aware of how they present themselves because we're looking for melanoma. What is interesting is, and this is, I'm not saying this to scare people, but I'm saying it so you understand that A, people can get things wrong. Like, you know, your body better. But before I did it two years

ago, I went to a place up in Bondi as well. I didn't have a recommendation. I just Googled like, Hey, I need to get a skin check. Let me see. This one said, yep. Does the skin cancer checks. I went and the first thing he said to me and my sister had a similar experience was how old are you when I told him I must be like 34 or 5 or whatever he was like why are you here and I was like sorry it's like why are you here and I said oh because I am Australian and I grew up in the sun and I want to get a skin check he's like you're too young basically he checked me but he was he was off the fact not off it but he did I don't know he left me feeling a bit like oh am I silly for coming. Anyway, he did the check, but it was like, quote unquote, fine. I left fine. And it

just didn't sit right with me. And that's when I found my now doctor who is brilliant, Dr. Sarah McDonald, who I coincidentally went to primary school with, but that's another story. And I went to her and that is where, that's where it started. She found these things and she's like, yeah, cause she's so thorough. She was like, yeah, this is not, you need to like do something about this. If I hadn't gone and then questioned what my first doctor had said, I don't know if what it was would have developed into something. But what I will say is, if you don't follow me on socials and you want to watch what happens, I'm going to post all about it. But I've already taken some videos today that I'm going to put up. Zero makeup, up close, and I'm going to show you

what it actually looks like. Because when you look at my face, you will not see it. And that is the scary thing. They are like the tiniest discoloration. They can be like the tiniest little bit of dry skin most people would not even think twice about it even looking at myself i was like i can barely see what she's talking about but if you're interested i'm going to post all about it and keep you updated but yeah that's what i'm doing for the next week or so and i i don't know what it's going to look like this time i think a really important statistic which like when you hear it it is really fucking harrowing is that two in three australians will end up being diagnosed with skin cancer two in three it is the most common cancer by far

that there is in australia and like we've been brought up in such harsh conditions we were the generation that we oiled ourself up we still skipped the sunscreen generation you know i know they tried they did the slip slop slap but we were also the coconut oil people like and it kind of like straddled alongside in it yeah like that's what we were i was still a sun cream baby like my mom was really good with that but we were also the the generation that it was like as long as you put your tanning oil on but it had like an spf of four or six you were like it still has something but it's browning me it's like that's not true no it's totally not and also like I think it's been a really good reminder for me like I said I don't want this to come across as preachy to

anyone because I am that person like I've not been in so long I keep thinking I've got to make an appointment I gotta go do this but also I've not had my hair cut in a fucking year either like that can wait but like these are the things the self-maintenance stuff doesn't always happen when you have so much on your plate I think if you firstly book your appointments go and have your checkups it's always nice to be reminded of that stuff but also if you had like a persistent patch that's just not quite the right color something changed the borders or the margins on something maybe a dryer or lighter in color and like I said you've been conditioned to think that anything that's dark is a problem but anything else like maybe I've just got dermatitis

or whatever but it could actually be one of these things and figuring it out and sorting it out now just means that when you're 70 you're not going to have all that shit cut off your face like we've watched our parents do I also think there's one other factor and like it's something that very much played on my mind more so like in the last couple of years the cost of living is crazy and so there has been a part of me that's been like do I want to spend this money on an appointment when it could come back with everything's fine and then I've kind of thrown that money down the drain and that used to be my mentality it used to be like well I don't have anything that looks suspicious so why would I spend money and like it's they can be expensive if you go see a specialist like I

went to see my dermatologist at one point and it was a pretty expensive appointment and I had already had a dermatologist you know so if you need to get a referral and all those kinds of things costs can be a big factor in why people don't go and do it but of course I also have tried to shift my own mentality and be like it's not wasted money you're getting reassurance and if it was something sinister it will end up costing you a lot more in the long run to fix it So prevention is the best way to keep costs down. And I need that more than I need like a new pair of jeans, you know? And you know, the last thing I'll say is last time I did this, there were quite a few

messages, which is scary, but I'm glad I got quite a few messages from people personally that said, because I showed it and spoke about it, they went and got their skin checked and they had like grade two threes and fours melanomas that they wouldn't have known about. Like there were literally people that wrote to me and said, I only know I have a melanoma because I decided to go and get a skin check. Like it's still something they didn't even see on their body. But that's, I don't know, I don't want to scare people, but it's like just get checked.

It's like it's not the end of the world and you're either going to be safe and feel relaxed or you're going to find something nasty if it's there. Yeah, and like we said, we're going to be talking about it over the next couple of weeks because, Britt, your face is going to say it all. Let's see. Okay, it is time for Accidentally Unfiltered.

Strap on in, Laura. I'm strapped on. I feel like this is something that we would do. a few years back my husband and i went to our friend's house for tea games night and a few drinks cute cute wholesome we both had young kids the same age who played really well together as the night went on the kids fell asleep and the drinks kept going then one thing led to another and my friend brought out her sex wing for some reason she wanted to show us how to set it up yeah i guess a normal like progression of the night saturday night board game during sex week

They're playing Uno and then, but also how many people have a sex swing? Is this common? I don't reckon it's common, but I mean, people obviously have them. Where are you hanging it from? It pops up in Laura's bed. One of the girls is like, where did I, I got this from downstairs. Mum, can you hang this in the tree outside? Can you push me?

I'm going to take my new support animal out there. Oh my God, stop. Okay. Okay. She says, looking back, I'll never actually understand why I did what I did, but I thought it would be great to try it. So with a lot of effort to drag my huge ass up the door with the help of my husband and my friend's husband, both lifting me up, there I was strapped in.

I was hanging from the closed door, legs spread wide apart, hanging, swinging in their swing. We were all laughing so hard that I couldn't help but let out the biggest fart ever. Oh dear. Right in the faces of my husband and my best friend's husband, legs wide open. I was humiliated. I'm sorry. can you need to get that visual she's like spread eagle swinging and as she swings into her husband's and best friend's face she farts i cannot deal there's a lot about that story i wish i had

friends that were that wild what do you mean i'm really wild come to my house that's not happening actually delilah will shit on your chest if you come to my house what more do you want she's a tough crowd laura we um we have a friend who was talking we have a friend who was talking about how they had friends over and they just let them borrow their vibrator yeah like they their friends came over for a dinner we'll beep it out it was yeah do we yeah so they had their friends come over for dinner and they were telling their friends about how they bought this really awesome new vibrator and their friends were like oh we've been thinking about buying that and they were like just use it and so then they went to the

bedroom and used it like at the dinner like as in like they stopped down on dinner so their friends could go and try the vibrator and then they came back and just carried on with dinner and playing uno this is like normal story they were telling she was telling us this as though this was just a totally standard run-of-the-mill dinner at her house and i was like fuck i am the most vanilla person that has ever existed but that i'm grateful i don't i don't want to be coming over to you i have one you can borrow it's my side cabinet it got worse than that not only did they just like want to try it out and then do it at the dinner like over the second course we were like is that not weird that they're using it and she's like oh no we wrapped it in glad wrap

first so then then we were like but then you're not even getting the real feeling because you've wrapped it in glad wrap there's a whole thing it's so odd it's so odd would you rather fart in a sex swing in front of your husband and your best friend or use my vibrator wrapped in glad wrap while we're at dinner while we're having tiramisu i would find it really hard to come if i was like hey guys i'll be back in 10 minutes the pressure of knowing that you're all just waiting for me to give an update glass at the door that's the thing i find the weirdest they came back and played uno all right guys it's sucking sweet time okay i'm gonna kick it off my suck for the week is that ellie so my beautiful mother-in-law she had went in on monday to have reconstructive shoulder

But then also she spoke about having her plastic surgery and it not turning out the way in which she desired it to be. And I think even not just that not turning out for the desire,

the desired effect, but also the repercussions of being in the public eye and having something not turn out how you wanted to. Yeah. And you know, like plastic surgery, I think like we've spoken about it before on this podcast where we talked about how you only ever see the positive outcomes you only ever see people who have like gotten hotter because they've done it and Indy not only did she talk about like the social commentary around her nose but that she deeply herself was not happy with it once she you know realized that this was the nose that she was going to be left with then we also talked about business we talked about her sharing her kids online and where she draws the line for what makes content and what doesn't

it was such a great chat and she was very open and very giving in this and that's coming out Friday. So make sure you listen to that one as well. Yeah.
