Life Uncut - From Catholic Priest to Drag Queen: Guest Ask Uncut with Hannah Conda

Episode Date: July 16, 2026

Hey lifers! Our guest Ask Uncut is BACK! Once a month (ish 😂) we bring in a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions, and this month's guest is the phenomenal, fabulous, one-of-...a-kind drag queen Hannah Conda! You may also know her as Chris Collins, runner-up on RuPaul's Drag Race and a person who once seriously considered becoming a Catholic priest. The pipeline from seminary to sequins is more logical than you'd think, she assures us. Then we jump into your questions! MY BOYFRIEND CRIES DURING SEX. IS THIS NORMAL?I've been seeing a guy for about four months and he cries roughly one out of three times we have sex. He says he just gets overwhelmed and it's pretty normal. It was cute at the start but now it's putting me off. Is this somewhat normal? Is he telling the truth? I don't have a huge dating history so I genuinely don't know. MY BEST FRIEND LOST WEIGHT AND NOW I DREAD GOING OUT WITH HERMy best friend lost a lot of weight over the past year and looks incredible. I'm so happy for her. But our friendship has shifted. We used to be on the same level socially when we'd go out. Now she gets all the attention. She's more confident, and sometimes she feels a bit dismissive of me. I feel horrible even writing this. Am I a bad friend? I miss how we used to be. I GAVE MY BOYFRIEND A HANDY AND GOT NOTHING BACKMy boyfriend of over five years just laid there, hands behind his head, completely blissfully while I finished him off. He did not touch me once. I left him to clean himself up and didn't speak to him for hours. Do I have the right to be mad? Should I have stopped midway and asked if he was going to touch me back? MY PARTNER WON'T LET ME PEE IN FRONT OF HIMMy current partner of one year is wigged out if I go to the toilet while he's in the room. He'd rather I wait until he leaves. I find this a bit strange; it's never been an issue in past relationships. Are we peeing in front of our partners or not? And when we have kids, he won't have a choice, will he? IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO GLAM AT A WEDDING?I've been invited to a wedding and I want to do full glam; lashes, shimmer, colour, contour, the lot. My friends reckon it's disrespectful and that I'll look like I'm trying to be the main character. Is this actually a thing?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Brittany. I'm Laura. And today we have a very special, very colourful Ask Uncut guest host in the name of the phenomenal drag queen, Hannah Konda. Hi David. Well, Hannah, aka Chris Collins, just as a quick little recap yeah grew up in perth and probably my favorite piece of information that i discovered about you hannah seriously considered becoming a catholic priest before packing up and moving to sydney to be the iconic drag queen that you are runner up on rupaul's drag race god say that three times fast in the uk and down under this woman knows her stuff welcome to the podcast hannah thanks for having me i'm so excited to be uncut with you just a couple of gals
Starting point is 00:00:55 I mean, do you know what? We once had someone ask us if this was a podcast for uncircumcised people. Well, you know, if the shoe fits. Just a couple of gals here to answer your questions today, guys. Hannah did come in as a surprise performance for Laura's 40th birthday. Were you shocked, Laura? Yes. Also, I thought I was interviewing Mitch Turi today,
Starting point is 00:01:13 but instead we just got to dance to I Want to Dance with Somebody and now here we are. Are you happy that it's not Mitch Turi? Thrilled. But I love Mitch Turi. We love Mitch. Love Mitch. Mitchie's coming in tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:01:25 We'll rearrange him for another day. But I'm so thrilled. Honestly, this is the energy that I was not expecting for 10 a.m. in the morning, but I'm fucking here for it. You know what? You and me both are girlfriend. I was not expecting this energy at 10 a.m. for me either. You have to tell me, Hannah, what time did you have to get up
Starting point is 00:01:40 to get the full hair, makeup, glam done? I'm pretty efficient these days. I got ready in about an hour and ten minutes. Wow. I know. An hour and ten. That is impressive. Yeah, I don't fuck around.
Starting point is 00:01:52 because it's like I've been doing it 15 years now and I know exactly where everything needs to go. And I used to spend four hours getting ready and doing hair and makeup and I was like, I'm wasting my life. I don't want to be doing that. You need to tell me, how do you go from contemplating becoming a Catholic priest to being like, do you know what? I might try drag.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Where was that? The Venn diagram for them. They don't cross over too often. Well, no, but you think about really like being a priest, you know, I'm still wearing dresses. I'm preaching to a congregation they just happen to be gay men like I'm still somewhat a priest but I wanted to be a priest through like my high school years and I think it was sort of encouraged by my grandma who is very religious and very catholic and she was like this is your
Starting point is 00:02:38 vocation you know and I think she really wanted to have a grandson be a priest for like you know yeah she wanted to be able to go I'm going to my grandson's church today he's going to be doing you know what i mean like that's what she wanted it's a huge flex yeah very flex for a catholic woman so she was like really kind of encouraging me on that journey and then when i started getting older in my latter years of high school things just started falling away from the idea of the catholic church being where i want to live my life and you know as i discovered more about myself being gay and being told i was gay nana did not get the clap nana did not yeah that did not get it i remember just getting bullied at school and they're like you're a fag you're a fag
Starting point is 00:03:18 and I was like what's that so I like googled and I was like oh yeah maybe I am oh they were calling you that before you came out yes before I came out yeah I didn't come out at high school like until that like last year so in year 12 I came out but I was already out like my I couldn't hide it you know what I mean like also sorry I don't know if you still use that term I actually hate that term coming out I don't know why coming out yeah well it was I know I guess like no one comes out straight no offense but that's what I mean like I even when I said it I was like I hate saying well I guess it's because unfortunately it's like that's like that's kind of what is expected and then it's until you say otherwise people are like well here's the box yeah I flipped that script
Starting point is 00:03:58 because some guy in my high school said you need to assume that everybody is straight unless proven otherwise and I said nope in my life everyone's gay unless I figure out otherwise yeah because I'm always walking around and my first thing that I do when I see a guy, I'm like, do you reckon he's gay? Do you reckon he's gay? I think he's gay. I think he's gay. And then my partner's like, no, not everyone's gay.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And I'm like, no, I think they're gay. I reckon everyone's got a bit of gay in them. Yeah, they've all got, you know, put a finger in. Britt is always like, she's like, I am so not, she's like, I have no gay in my body. And that's fine. There's no judgment. Just don't shove it down my throat.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I'm just straight. Okay, don't be waving your bloody straight flag at me. How did Gran take it? Yeah, so I just sort of fallen away from it. And then we had a lot of family things go on and then years happened and whatever. But I didn't really speak to her for a while. Then I did touch base with her and I said, Nan, I'm gay.
Starting point is 00:05:00 And I didn't tell her about the drag thing just because I didn't want to kill her, you know. Didn't want to give her a heart attack. Yeah, like she can deal with me being gay, But, like, the drag thing could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, you know. But now where we are, she's getting to understand more about me. She's come to some shows now and she's seen, yeah, which is really sweet. And that's a big step.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I don't think she likes it, but, like, she's making the effort to go. And that's all you can ask for in someone. I think, especially for grandparents and Catholic grandparents who have grown up with such strong traditions, that's so many years to try and, like, reframe their thoughts and their belief systems around it. The fact that she goes and is trying, like, I mean, it may not be, well, I mean, it's not all you can ask for. You can ask for more, but there is something in that, that, you know, she has put in time with her life and her, how she has grown up and her existence.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Like she's like, that's 80 years of life. Like you kind of have to take her where she is and it doesn't affect me. Like, cause there's a part of, you know, I think with ourselves, you have to decide what you take on board from other people. so she doesn't like slur at me or make any judgmental comments i just know that she doesn't really like it sometimes she still loves you yeah she still loves me but and that's the thing i can have the right to take on what i need to take on and what i push away you know and that's why that's why i say i take her for where she is and that's all i can ask from from her at this point
Starting point is 00:06:25 in her life that's such a good perspective to have you know yeah let her live yeah let her live Yeah, she's done, you know, this is her, this is it. Tell me about when you say you didn't have a vocation for the Catholic church, but you had a vocation for drag. Where did the calling come from? Like, how did that first time happen? Yeah. And I guess like, how did the, the whole evolution of becoming a drag queen really come into
Starting point is 00:06:49 fruition? Yeah. So it started when I graduated high school and you know, I was the outcast at school. Like I had, was sitting with the musical theater freaks. I went to an all boys Catholic high school, by the way. so I was sitting with the musical gays the band kids and they were the freaks and they said we don't want you to sit with us anymore can you go away so I was on my own so the freaks kicked me out and I was like fuck so I had no idea where I needed to go and then when I turned 18 and then
Starting point is 00:07:15 I went out to the court hotel back in Perth and I was like this is my people this is it and I finally flipped from being the uncool one to being one of the scene kids and one of the the group and then that's when I first really saw drag well I kind of seen drag before like I loved watching Priscilla loved watching Too Wong Fu but I didn't know that that was drag you found your community yeah and I saw the drag I saw drag on stage and I was like oh I don't know that's a bit too much for me and then yeah I know and too much for me a bit too in your face frogging apart yeah and slippery slope it is it is because my friend Ruby who was just started doing drag at the time asked me to be like I was the bag bitch so I was like helping her carry her bags in and she was like an amateur
Starting point is 00:07:56 queen starting up she's like I think you should give it a go I think you'd have fun I was like okay I'll do it one night and because you'd win a $50 bar card and I was like that for an 18 year old no brainer bloody brilliant so I went in did my first number she put me into drag and I went out and I killed it and I should have won but then the queen that was hosting at the time she said nah you need to come in there's two shows that you need to perform and if you want to win And I said, no, there's not. There's always been one. And she's like, I'm making a new rule tonight.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And I was like, oh, well, you're a bitch. So I'm coming back next week. So I got back into drag. I'm getting that bar card. Yeah, I'm getting that bloody bar card. So I came back next week and I won. I got my bar card. And then that was what had unlocked the slope, the slippery slope of drag.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Because it just became addictive. It's like all you wanted to do, I wanted to perform and dance. Well, then tell us then how you, because you appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Yes. how like that is a talk about slippery slope you've slipped right to the top yeah how did you slip there so that was when I moved to Sydney so from the time I started doing drag to moving to Sydney was about five years and then now I've been in Sydney for nearly 11 which is crazy but yeah so I when I first moved to Sydney I was a filling girl so I came established I came
Starting point is 00:09:09 with like the skills that you know you could go in and you could I could dance I could sing act do whatever the bits that people need and I was the filling girl so one of the queens that was working at Stonewall on Oxford Street was away and she said, can you fill in for this show? So I was doing the show and then the Kardashians called and they said, we want a drag show. The drag queen happened to be away. So I got to fill in.
Starting point is 00:09:33 So it shouldn't have been me. Did you almost have an aneurysm? Yeah, it was wild. I was working at Sunglass Hut at the time. Were you like, let me check my schedule? No, I had to call in sick. Of course you would. Yeah, I called in sick and then like my manager at the time
Starting point is 00:09:45 was just such a like, she's just sour, sour woman. And she was like, this is really disappointing. Like, I can't believe you're calling in sick. And I said, I am sick. You know, the next thing, the next day, the next day, because it was a paparazzi. We never got paparazzi here, but the paparazzi were all lining up against the window of Stonewall taking photos. And then there was a photo of me with her and was on like, it was in a newspaper, it was on the internet, whatever. And then my manager was like, sick, hey?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Sick. Because she knew I did drag, but like, she's like, wow. But also surely she could understand that. You're calling for this. It's the Kardashians. Everyone would call in sick for the Kardashians. Yeah. Like, understandable.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Did she fire you? No. Yeah, fine. Well, I've been there longer than her. I've been to Sunglass Hut Institution. I was a part-timer when they got rid of it. You got a good discount. You did get a good discount, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Can I say, though, there's something really nice in your story in, like, the full circle of saying that, you know, you were the kid at school that kind of got overlooked and stepped into something and into a phase of life where, like, no one could ever overlook you. Like, going from being not given that attention to getting so much of it. There's something really beautiful in that as well.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Look at this, you bitches. Not even that you can't, like, because you can't miss you, right? But it's not that, but you're at the top of your game. It's totally, like, you went to the top of your community. You won that bar tab straight to the Kardashians and then RuPaul. It's absolutely incredible. I'm pretty lucky.
Starting point is 00:11:13 But I've worked my little tush off, you know. But I love it. Like I love this art form. I think it was such an underground art form before Drag Race as well. It was kind of the place that a lot of artists would come and blow off steam. They'd come to the drag bars. You know, back in the day with Sydney, for example,
Starting point is 00:11:29 King's Cross had the lay girls and you'd have like Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, they would all go and watch the lay girls. But we were never sort of brought into the space of being with the real artists. And it was only Drag Race that kind of flipped that narrative and now you see drag queens at certain events and different places that you wouldn't have seen drag queens but with their, you know, own rights.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Podcasts. Yeah, podcasts, doing podcasts, living our best lives. Even like Courtney, Courtney Act who like has like 100%, like you've got to have some people who kind of like put that path in place and open it up and especially mainstream. Like mainstream media is so funny and it's so traditional and like that's now been blown open by all of these other different productions and creations and yeah, RuPaul's has done amazing gigs.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yes, I would say it's done such incredible things. I would say the Australian media landscape does need to really pull its stick out of its ass because, like, sometimes we still get, like, I was doing, was there as a legitimate, we're contestant on a show that they produced and we got asked if we were, like, the entertainment, you know, they were like, oh, and then some lady goes, where's the toilet?
Starting point is 00:12:34 And, like, you know, she's like, what time are you bringing the food around? And we're like, so we've, you know what I mean? Like you go, we still are not always legitimised in that space and I think even find it hard to get into certain rooms and be asked into other shows and stuff like that because they're still a bit scared of, you know, there's still that sort of fear that they don't want
Starting point is 00:12:56 to isolate the Australian public, you know what I mean? That's hard. Which is understandable but, you know, at the end of the day, I think you've got to humanise us like and you've got to allow the Australian public to see us just as normal people. And I think there's a job for us as well that sometimes we come in hot and heavy with this is what we need for rights. But I just don't – people will understand what we need in terms
Starting point is 00:13:21 of being treated as people if they just see us as human beings. You know what I mean? Yeah, I dress like this. Yes, this is my costuming and this is my outward manifestation. But underneath it all, I'm still Chris. I'm still just another person. Well, it's a job. It's just a job.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You're just somebody else turning up and doing their job. It's like any act of putting on makeup. It's the exact same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, we are here to answer Ask Uncut questions. Look, we got so deep there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I love it. No, it's great. Yeah, it really is. And I think it's like such an interesting perspective. But we have brought you here for your interesting perspective. Oh, I know. I know. And to answer all the deep, dark dilemmas that our listeners have.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I love this. But first, before we get into that, we ask all of our Ask Uncut guests the same question. And that is, what is the pettiest hill that you are willing to die on? Okay. Okay, so I don't – this is petty for me, I think, but I do not count cyclists as pedestrians. I think cyclists are cyclists and pedestrians are pedestrians. And you, as a cyclist, should not bloody go on the pedestrian crossing.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I agree. Because you are not. You are a cyclist. Oh, so hang on. You don't – it's not that you don't want them on the pavement. You don't want them pedestrian crossing. You don't think a bike should cross the road. No, you know, if you've been driving and – do you both drive?
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yes. Yeah, so you're not even driving. I don't know. You say that as so much judgment. do you drive do you drive do you drive do you know how to car so you know when you're driving and there's a pedestrian crossing and then a cyclist would just go and go like absolutely just go right across i agree do you know what i don't like i think they can cross on the crossing no no because no because no i tell you why they can't because they're going too fast so you don't
Starting point is 00:14:53 have time to prepare whereas if you're walking no they still need to stop no but no because it's a pedestrian crossing so they don't stop yeah i think and i'm all for cyclists because my husband's a cyclists. Love them in the middle of Lycra. Love what it does for the environment, but you can't have the best of both worlds. You can't be on the road and behave like a car, but also behave like a pedestrian. You can't do both. Pick a lane, be a car on the road. How do you want the biker to cross the road then? Well, the biker can cross the road if they're going to get off the bike and walk across with the bike next to her. Or the only other time I'll allow it is there are sometimes there are pedestrian crossings and cyclist crossings together and I will give them
Starting point is 00:15:32 there but majority of the time these bastards of you hannah thank you thank you i won't hit you with my car but there's there was this i just happened so often that the cyclist would just automatically just just decide that they're going to veer across and then you have to slam on your brakes risk having an accident because they've decided that they want to go across the street i get you i think that a bike here's my opinion i think a bicycle can cross the crossing if they're off the bike if it i think they can be on it but they have to act like a pedestrian so you still have to stop make sure it's clear you know like you can't just walk out onto the street do you know that's what my husband does he's swiss it's very different world but they don't ever stop to
Starting point is 00:16:12 make sure that the car is going to stop they just walk and i'm like you can't do that like you can't you have silly you can't ask him for it you can't take that punt in certain places in australia they won't still be like how does not stop yeah oh i'm not let me tell you bike chat is a hot topic because cyclists, they have strong feelings about these things. The cyclists are coming for you, Hannah. Come at me. Come at me in my car. I'll find you.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Hannah, we're going to get into some questions. Our listeners have written in some great ones, and I think they're Hannah-coded. I think you're going to have a great opinion on them. I love it. I'm going to kick start with one we actually have never had before. Okay. I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I've been seeing a guy for about four months. I really like him, and it's getting more serious. but he cries probably one out of three times that we have sex sometimes it's just a little tear and sniffle and sometimes it's more he just says he can't help it and gets overwhelmed and he says it's pretty normal now i haven't had an overly vast dating life so my question is is this is this somewhat normal it was cute at the start I didn't mean to snore. Laura, this is a serious question.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I've got congestion. It's so serious. It's a serious question. My question is I don't know dating, so is this somewhat normal? Is he telling the truth? It was cute at the start, but now it's putting me off. Look, as a gay man, I'm pretty sure I've had sex with so many more people than probably everyone in this building.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And I can tell you, in my experience, I have never had anyone cry after sex or during sex. Have you never? Not once? Not once. You haven't lived. You've never had a single person cry? No. I don't want them to cry.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I want them to be like having a great time. Do you have also, but I get the great time one, but do you have like emotional. Oh, intimate relationship, like emotional connections. Yes. With my boyfriends and stuff. None of them have cried. I don't know. Maybe I'm just like not fine.
Starting point is 00:18:15 The ones that cry. That's a new goal for you. Make them cry. Make my husband cry. I want to get home. You need to make your husband cry. You need to have such emotional sex that he cries afterwards. No, I will say as somebody.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Is she like, is that doing anal or something? Is that like, is he not prepared? I, no, no, no. Hang on. I have had sex with some people. I have never had a man cry. No. So I don't, I don't want to take it away from some men that cry.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I have never had a man cry. I have cried maybe once in sex and it wasn't bawling, but it was a weird thing. I can't even, it was just like a couple of tears but but was that because you're having sex with your ex babe no no it was and i can never put my finger on it i must have been in the most hormonal day of my cycle and it must have just been like the most intense well it was an intense orgasm and it was just this overwhelming feeling it wasn't crying of i can't explain it and it's only happened once
Starting point is 00:19:12 and it was weird it was that was it it was just like one of you cry come on down i've never cried but I have an ex who cried a lot. Oh, did he? Oh, did you have a – What? You've been with a crier. I had a crier and he said the same thing. He said he would feel very emotional during sex,
Starting point is 00:19:29 only if he'd orgasmed, and he would cry post-orgasm. Was it the same guy that had sex with your leg? No, a different one. Did you have a guy that had sex with your leg? Yeah, don't shame him. No, I'm not. We're not, but it's a curiosity. He or Hannah?
Starting point is 00:19:40 In there. This was part of our – Oh, like he fucked your – How many? He fucked an egg. Wow. Wow, that's beautiful. Guys, if you came to our live show, you would know this.
Starting point is 00:19:49 It's because he wanted to have sex with all of me. Yeah, and I was really flattered. All of me. Fuck all of me. All your limbs. Yeah, want to touch all of your lemmings. With my willy. I, at the time, was so flattered.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And afterwards, I just realized he had a kink. It wasn't about me. He just had a kink with him. And this wasn't like a kink or anything of this guy, not shaming him. We were together for a year and a bit, a year and a bit. And he just would sometimes have a tear. Would you say one out of three as well? Like what's the frequency?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Not one out of three, maybe one out of five. Really? Like once every, yeah, I'd say like once in a while he would do it. Like it was more frequent. It was too frequent to say it was a one-off occurrence, but it wasn't so frequent that it was every time. But he had very big orgasm reactions. Like his orgasms, I was like, like, like, like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like that.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And then he bawled. And then, oh, yes. Okay. That's my question. Was it crying? Was it like a, like, just like a, you know, when you're like reflecting or watching a movie and you just have a little like that, or is he going, oh, oh, oh, oh, or like, was he like, how was the cry?
Starting point is 00:21:05 I want to know what the cry was. It wasn't as intense as the second one. His orgasms were pretty much like that. Yes. That was, it's like you're in the room. I've been with a couple of those It was just really like The first time it happened I thought something was wrong
Starting point is 00:21:17 Like I thought he'd hurt himself And then I was like oh this is new okay cool Anyway he had a great sex life but it didn't affect anything So when he cried it didn't turn you off Or make you like It didn't turn me off I think I felt flattered That's hot though
Starting point is 00:21:32 I made this man cry Anytime men showed me any interest in my 20s I was just flattered put it that way Me too me too i'd say it's something that she may need to like if it's giving her the ick now i think she needs to address it with him yeah and just say like i know you can't control it but maybe we figure out why this is happening or talk i think maybe yeah i think if you do find out the why like if it's purely just a reaction to him having an orgasm i don't know if you get the ick from it
Starting point is 00:22:00 like more so if he's like actually emotional because something's going on like that's two different things right that's two different things to unpack yeah i don't think it's a big deal i I think if you're really into the guy and it happens, you're kind of like, who cares, whatever. Well, the thing is she does care. She said it's starting to put me off. But is it starting to put you off because you're worried about whether it is or isn't normal?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Like regardless of whether it is or isn't normal, it's irrelevant. Who cares if it's normal? Everyone has different fucking weird shit that can go on in their sex life and it can be normal to them. That's fine. And that's where now it's going to be the conversation. Totally. Just got to clear that up, you know, and I think talk about it
Starting point is 00:22:36 if it's making you feel weird. Yeah. I think the reason has a lot to do with it. And I think once you understand where it's coming from, cause I think you don't understand, right? He's crying. You're like, why are you crying? He just says it's normal. You don't know if it's normal, but I think if you can't try and get to the crux of, it might not even be an issue when I say the crux of the issue, but find out what he's feeling in that moment. I have no doubt he probably does, but it's still something. If my partner was crying every time we had sex, I would also want to know why. And I think that's a normal question to ask I agree I agree but out of everyone in this room it's not shocking that
Starting point is 00:23:11 Laura's the only one that's been with a cry I just want to be loved I've cried a few times after sex as well but it was always because I was fucking my exes and I was just sad and hated myself that's different yeah but I still cried it was still sex though see the why is important it's really important all right anyway next question that was sad I hope none of my exes ever listen to this podcast they don't they don't sometimes i like to think that they still think of me of course you do i made such an impact that 10 years later they still care anyway okay next question okay my best friend lost a lot of weight over the past year and looks incredible and i say that genuinely i'm so happy for her but our friendship has shifted in a way i don't know
Starting point is 00:23:56 how to talk about for context we're both single we're kind of each other's single going out friends we used to be the same level socially but now we go out she gets all the attention people treat her so differently men approach her constantly and she's become more confident in a way that sometimes feels like she's become a bit dismissive of me I feel horrible even writing this because I know it makes me sound jealous and insecure but something has changed and I miss how we used to be am I a bad friend I don't really know what to do from here because I've started dreading going out together because I know that I'm just going to feel like the ugly stepsister.
Starting point is 00:24:31 That's tough. That is a tough one. I understand what she's feeling. You know who I see in this, what came to mind? You know, what's the name from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City? I don't know. Do you watch them? No.
Starting point is 00:24:47 One of them, she got really skinny and then she became like really hot and pretty and she's going through this like complex of like discovery. It's like a new lease of life. It's a new chapter. New chapter. and I noticed as a viewer. I can't remember her name, Harriet or something. Oh, my God, such a fan.
Starting point is 00:25:04 You noticed a difference as a viewer. Yeah, just the way that she, her, and it was a confidence and I understand that and that's probably what the friend is exuding right now. And I think what the other friend who wrote us is going through is maybe a little bit of jealousy, I think, and because it's maybe highlighting insecurities about her, her which is natural when someone's making these big life changes you know we've been around people
Starting point is 00:25:28 that made life changes before you know it does point out and highlight the things that you're doing in your life that maybe you want to fix I completely agree and I think all that's happening right now I actually don't think that there's a problem in your friendship she's not flaunting her newfound I guess like confidence that she has in herself but this experience is holding a mirror up to you and that mirror is making you feel uncomfortable and it's because there are things you've said it there's jealousy there's insecurities but that is deeply a you problem to work on what it is and don't let your value be perceived because when you go out your friend gets more attention than you do like that's I think like that shouldn't be the benchmark for where you
Starting point is 00:26:07 get your sense of self-worth from that's a really terrible metric yeah I understand why you're not feeling as like that there's been a shift in the dynamic of going out but if that's your only thing that you share as friends is going out and trying to pick up people, then that's not the right friend to go and do that with anymore. Go and do it with someone else. But, like, you know, it doesn't mean that has to change the friendship.
Starting point is 00:26:28 I get that point. I agree with everything you both said, but I do get why, if that's the only thing that you guys have as a friendship, we do have friends in different stages of life for different things. You absolutely, as a single person, have a going-out friend. Like, you do. I had it for years.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And it's not that that's all they're good for, quote-unquote, but that's what you do together because you can't do it with anyone else like when all your other friends are in relationships and have kids or that is the who you go out with I think here I do think there's a little bit of jealousy and I hate the word jealousy but if you do think that she's you said you use the term we were socially the same and I think you're trying to say like you know we were both on the same level it was like an equal playing field and you feel like now that it is not an equal playing field I think if that's the case you can't really do anything about it and you do need to be happy
Starting point is 00:27:16 for your friend that she has found this newfound confidence where it is a problem is if you are either imagining it or it's real when you say that she's a bit more dismissive of you now when you go out if she is that's absolutely a problem like if you think your friend has changed the way she treats you because of who she's become that is a sit-down conversation but i would also ask is that real that's what i'm saying like look put the microscope on yourself a little bit and really try and unpack is that because our perception of something can be very much influenced by how we're feeling. Do you know what I mean? Like if you're feeling something, if you're feeling insecure, if you're feeling jealous, that is going to have an impact on the lens that you put on a
Starting point is 00:27:55 situation. And so now you're going to pick out all the little things that she does that's going to make you feel a certain way. But it very much could be real too. It could be, but I think jealousy is not a bad, it's a human emotion. It's how you deal with the jealousy and what you do with that is that the problem that's where becomes the unsticking for a lot of people I think I'm also remember to name Heather Gay that's right the real housewife when you say that you as a viewer were watching that unfold in her transformation and did you see behavior from her to the other housewives I saw her just get confident her just confidence leveled up and I think that gave her the ability to maybe stand her ground a bit more and talk you know a bit more because I think when
Starting point is 00:28:35 people are not feeling themselves or not feeling great in themselves and you know they make like life changes like losing weight or you know going to a therapist or whatever the case may be you start noticing when they're doing that they're making a conscious effort to put themselves first and be the best that they can be in themselves and then that does flick how they act and how they you know go about things because they've gone from pushing themselves back and putting themselves in a place where they don't want to be looked at, don't want to be seen. So they shrink themselves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 And yeah, you shrink themselves. And then now you're allowed, she's coming up and she's expanding herself and she's, so that could be, you know, what she's experiencing. Yeah. I wonder if the feeling of feeling dismissed is because maybe you guys used to go out and without the level of confidence that she had, and maybe you have, you probably sit there and spend most of the night together talking, drinking, but now she's talking to more people, which makes you feel like she's not including you as much.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Whereas really she's just coming into who she is. And maybe, you know, this listener needs to think about what that friend was feeling when she was, you know, the quote-unquote party one. You know what I mean? Yeah, I want to validate the feeling, though. It is hard when you feel like you're getting left behind in any capacity, and I don't just mean that capacity, but in your friends' groups when people are like, you know, that feeling of, oh,
Starting point is 00:29:53 I'm not keeping up in whatever way, whether it's job or work or families or kids or marriage, and that is a really hard feeling, and I can feel the way she's written this in that this is a really big thing for her. Yeah, and she's struggling with, like, a sense of potentially losing a friendship over this. Totally, and being left behind, maybe. But again, I think she needs to communicate this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I think people, I think, I've become from a family of communicators. Like, we talk about everything. And even the hard stuff, like, I try to have the hard conversations as quick as I can. Because the quicker you deal with these things and bring them up and try to communicate through it, the quicker they're sorted. Yeah. I know, but there's something that feels really, and I would say, you would feel really pathetic. Oh, that's it, definitely. saying like, I love you. And like, I'm really proud that all these things that you've done
Starting point is 00:30:37 for yourself, like that you like objectively have gotten hotter, that you've put time and energy into yourself, that you've grown in confidence. Like I'm really proud of you that you've achieved all those things, but I'm dealing with this sense that you achieving those things has left me feeling less than, and that's a really hard conversation to have with someone because you have to really be vulnerable to say, I feel a little bit threatened or jealousy or whatever this feeling is but I feel like I'm being left behind in your in your progress yeah I don't think you'd say it like that I think you would just more put it down to where you feel like you're being a bit left out when you're out at night so I wouldn't say it about like you're leaving me behind in life
Starting point is 00:31:14 and I feel jealous and insecure of you I would more say like hey I find it really hard to go out with you now like like I feel a bit forgotten or you know left on my own or however you want to phrase it whatever your actual issue is in that moment so I think you make it more about like when you're going out as opposed to like her overall life changes but you know what I think with that my only the only thing I come back to is be careful that you're not making this problem about her because by saying it that way that I feel like you're doing this unless you're absolutely sure that that's what she's doing and you have very obvious moments if it's just a feeling you're getting I would say that's probably not what she's doing it's probably more so a reflection of the
Starting point is 00:31:54 jealousy manifesting and you finding reasons and be careful of that before you use that as your excuse to have a conversation yeah okay next question I gave my boyfriend a handy and got nothing back hi lovely ladies I hope my title got your attention because because I need help grabbed the attention was grabbed my boyfriend of over five years who I love immensely and I have a beautiful relationship with didn't reciprocate in the sex field and I am wondering if I have a right to be mad. Sure. The situation is I instigated sexy time by slowly playing with him,
Starting point is 00:32:30 which led to a handjob. He did not reciprocate by touching me. He just laid there blissfully whilst I finished him off with the handjob. There's a lot of handjobs in here. We have a very normal sex life for a busy couple with a five-year relationship. It ebbs and flows. Normally the weekend is when we make the most effort for sexual interaction. Now, this was a Sunday morning.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I feel robbed and I feel I feel robbed and I feel like he was just being lazy why would I start sexy time with the intention of not receiving anything back like bitch wanted it it's not a fucking gift the girl wanted it I probably overreacted I did leave him to clean himself up and I didn't talk to him for hours I know this was a little bit immature do I have the right to be upset how would you have handled this should I have stopped midway and asked him if he was going to touch me back that gives me anxiety even thinking about it I would have just got him like I would have started doing that and then I would have stopped it and then I would have like put his hand on me and like I mean did he just like not move at all I get the impression he just laid there on his back
Starting point is 00:33:36 with his hands behind his head yeah I would have made his arms move I would have got on top I would have done something but yeah all i'm imagining at this point is that you were giving him a furious fist because you were mad so you got halfway through and you realized he was just not going to do anything you're like you fuck it doesn't have to hate you it doesn't have to be verbal you could just sit on his face but you couldn't just touch me anything like i think that in that instance there were prompts that you could have given to show that you didn't expect that this was going to be a gift and you wanted him to participate yes you shouldn't have to do that But, like, he's also not a mind reader.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Maybe you guys were out of your structured routine of what you normally do. Sorry, if he didn't even touch her, he's lazy. Yeah, totally. But, like, also, I don't think he would, as a man, I don't think he would have stopped the thing. If she stopped doing that and left him in the throes of that rock-hard passion, and if she then just sat on his face
Starting point is 00:34:31 or did something else, I don't think he would stop that. I think he would carry on and get into it. Yeah, he's not going to be, like, you're halfway through getting a hand job and then you initiate or try something else he's not gonna be like no sorry finish the job off you go they're back downstairs like I don't know I think he probably thought that you were going to give him a hand job to completion clearly that clearly there's a miss here you've been together for five years you have a great sex life you've said and on this occasion he read the room wrong I don't think he read the room just fine I think he was Sunday morning he was lazy
Starting point is 00:35:04 potentially but also is that enough to like storm out and not talk to someone for a few hours like That reaction to me seems crazy when communication could have happened two hours ago. I don't know. I don't think that the punishment is fitting the crime unless this is something that he's doing on repeat. Yeah. And if he's a regular offender of this behavior, then sure.
Starting point is 00:35:22 If Matt made me orgasm and then stormed out of the fucking room, I'd be like, what are you doing? Yeah, but you wouldn't just lay there. And he got like, you wouldn't just lay there in bliss. She said blissfully lay there. I think I probably have before. But he might have like been like just loving that feeling and like the loving that and for like because that I've done that to like partners before that I've just given
Starting point is 00:35:44 them something and they've just like laid there and they've not even engaged with me and that sometimes that was fulfilling for me clearly wasn't for her she wasn't well I mean a handjob's never feeling for a girl like you get nothing out of it I'm doing a handjob as well like you know but I'm like I'm like but I feel like I'm loving like my man I'm like doing my thing you know I'm like yeah i mean i don't know it's complex i suppose i think that sometimes some sexual acts can be gifts it doesn't have to always be reciprocated like have you ever given a blowjob and it's just been a gift and never getting anything back i mean i don't give them any more but like thank you is that when you cry when you get when it goes too far back you're like
Starting point is 00:36:22 the tear comes down but surely no i haven't not since my 20s but i do you know what where you've gone wrong that to answer it yes you did overreact like you can't just you can't make the choice to start that and to do that and then storm out not talking for hours because you didn't do it back was it lazy and selfish of him to not do it back yes but it's not the end of the world i think what i would have done is stopped down but not you said should i have stopped down and said are you going to touch me back no that's not what you say but you can stop down and have sex like you You don't have to do that one sex act to completion. Yeah, you stop and then you, like, grab his hands from behind his lazy head
Starting point is 00:37:03 and, like, put them on your tits or something. I don't know. Like, yeah, you've got to engage him maybe and, like, because sometimes men are dumb. Kiss him. Kiss him on the face, on the mouth, yeah, something. Kiss his lips. Yeah, there's a lot of steps that were missed in this engagement.
Starting point is 00:37:17 It's an unusual encounter. Yeah, but I feel like there's a lot of steps that were missed and bypassed by our lovely listener here. I think that the way this played out was probably not best case scenario. I think they're getting very annoyed and storming out. I think potentially you got a bit caught in your head in that situation. Like something's happening. You're not liking how it's playing out.
Starting point is 00:37:39 And so instead of doing something to change the course of it, you ruminated in that. You finished the job off. But like no one wants to get a wrist job or to have any. A wrist job? A wrist job? I like wristie, but wrist job. But no one wants.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Wrist job. You can tell Laura doesn't do it because she called it a wrist job. No one wants. A wrist job. It is a wrist job, a wristie. It's a hand job. Not a hand job. Nobody wants one of those if it's done in anger.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Like you've done it resentfully. It'll give a friction burn. You've done it, but you've done it like you're not even happy about it. Like you've done it and then like he didn't know that you weren't happy about it until you stormed out of the room and didn't talk to him. I want to validate her. I get it because she did go into it happy. She didn't go into it angry.
Starting point is 00:38:27 But she got angry. Yeah, but when she realized halfway that he's probably made no eye contact, hasn't spoken to her, hasn't kissed her, hasn't touched her, I'd start to get angry too. But she was still committed. She finished the job. It was a not so happy ending for her. She's never getting a wrist job again.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Not a wrist job. Guys, I'm Googling it. Fuck off. A wrist job. We know it's a thing, but people haven't said it since we were like 14. It was a wristie. I can't believe she's, look, she hasn't been able to find it. Look, she's.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Wrist job. No, I wrote it wrong. What is a wrist job? I think you said it wrong too. I actually don't think it is. Yeah, it's a hand job. Yeah. And then it's a wristie.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah. That's the slang for it. Yeah, it's unusual take, but you do you, boo. A wrist job is a colloquial term for a hand job. Manual stimulation of the penis. From 1987. That specifically emphasizes using a wrist for firmer, faster technique. often associated with a slap on the wrist metaphor for sexual context.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It is a form of manual sexual stimulation. There you go, everyone. Wow, way. Look at us doing sex today. Matt's a lucky man. Yeah, Matt is very lucky. She's like, hey, babe, you want a wrist job? Come on here, Matt.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I'll give you a wrist job. You won't ever forget. But you've got to touch me back. It's been a while. Make sure you acknowledge me as a human being. Guys, I just feel like we're laughing too much at this poor girl. I know, poor thing. We're joking.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Yeah, we are joking. We're not laughing at her. We're laughing at me. All right, next question. No, hang on. We've got to finish it off. Next time when this does happen, I mean, you also need to communicate with him now at why you've stormed away
Starting point is 00:39:56 and you need to say to him, hey, maybe my reaction was big. It upset me. Like it upset me to sit there and try and think that I was trying to start a sexy situation because for that to not be reciprocated, of course, you're going to internalize and be like, are you not attracted to me? Is it not good enough? You're not feeling it.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Why'd I bother? Yeah, like why'd I bother? So you need to have that conversation because he needs- Or just sit on his face. sit on his face and then fart and then walk out do not take that advice don't take that advice but you could sit on his face and just get it going you know elevate the situation just take control you just reminded me of the funny when i did dancing with the stars i've told this on the podcast before last year if you're a new listener i'll just rehash it's also don't
Starting point is 00:40:37 apologize for rehashing stories we're so deep now that people i know so for hannah hannah's not heard it but I did Dancing with the Stars and I did sing thank you but in the practice you're practicing for like eight hours a day and you get so close with your partner and I was we're doing this move where Craig my partner yeah in his face yeah that's fine that happens it was not fine because it was pretty early on like if it was three months deep it might not have been an issue but when you just you've just met this person and it's hard to have that intimacy when you don't know someone yeah and from day one you are grinding up against them and he's like you've got to love me in this moment and then to just crack a fart you know it was a queef i don't even think it was a fart it
Starting point is 00:41:15 was a fanny fart it's his fault because he flipped you upside down then squeezed you so you didn't fall it was asking for it you poor thing you're allowed it was the funniest i love a funny fart moment i love a funny funny fart we have another question yeah go on let's do it all right i have just noticed that my current partner of one year is weird if i go to pee in front of him or whilst he's in the room he would rather that I wait until he leaves the room I find this a bit of a weird considering it's not something that I thought about in past relationships I also think that when we have kids he won't really get a choice because those boundaries probably go out the window what are people's thoughts on this are we peeing in front of our partners he is so open
Starting point is 00:41:56 on a lot of things but he's absolutely wigged out by the fact that I'll pee in front of him I get rid I like me and my partner we would like was a year in and we already had pissed in front of each other he'd be in the shower and go to the toilet when you share a bathroom i mean it's one bathroom i think i think we in front of your partner's fine but you poo in front of him no i won't poo but like i have kids and they'll everyone walks in like people are wandering around the house and everyone's going to the toilet there's no privacy anymore ween's fine ben and i we in front of each other all the time like one of us this might be too much but one of we while someone's brushing their teeth or in the shower it's just a wee having said that we will not do a number two
Starting point is 00:42:34 like in front of each other because for me that's too much i want to i want to keep that privacy sorry i just would want it to be known so that there's no confusion i'm not standing in the room while matt's doing a shit like i'll happily walk away we close doors we just have kids that open the doors because they're very young and walk themselves inside and then don't shut thank you for clarifying that headline we've got a dog that scratches the door open so i know she wants to sit there and just look at us while we're doing a toilet that's fine you can let the dog slide But I think for this situation, the other thing is, as much as we say it's not a big deal and it's okay,
Starting point is 00:43:07 if it's a big deal for him, it's a big deal for him. And that's what you've got to remember. Like if your partner's like, I'm not into it personally, can we have some privacy? Then you can't lock him in the bathroom and wait. Like you can't double down on it. You've got to accept that he has his boundary, whether you agree with it or not.
Starting point is 00:43:22 That's fair. So annoying. Hannah was like, fucking put him in the bin. Yeah, I don't know. I just find it's like at some point it's like it just feels like you're blocking a human thing and it's just like it just feels so precious maybe you found a new petty hill that you'll die on maybe you're allowed to piss in front of and it's a year now like if it was like a couple of months then sure maybe then what if you look at it a bit deeper
Starting point is 00:43:44 what if let's go deep on the way we've done these discussions in the past where you think okay it might not be much to you but if your partner has made it clear that something bothers them for whatever reason if it might be something that for some reason develops an ick like if they get an ick because of that and they tried to tell you and you double down and force it then you can't be upset a year later when they're like it's turned me off and I'm not saying sorry but if your partner breaks up with you because you peed in the same room as them get a fucking grip they're not your person I agree I agree but there has to be some level that you recognize that if a partner has said to you this bothers me whether you think it's silly or not and sometimes it's
Starting point is 00:44:21 if it is super superficial but if they have made it so clear they're like like it's not a big deal you don't have to piss in front of them like you can also just close the door and go to the toilet 100 but i think that if that is like once again coming back to this hill you're gonna die on if that is the problem that you're having that unravels your relationship i really don't want you to sit around in your life and have regrets and think god if i'd only didn't we in front of him life would have been fine like that relationship was never going to work out if that's the straw that breaks the camel's back just we in private but the thing is is like it's not a big deal yeah but that's what i'm saying this is not a deal breaker in a relationship like if if that is
Starting point is 00:44:57 something that is so just like not okay for him like are you really gonna miss out on anything in your relationship by not having that openness or potentially by the time you do have kids and things shift immensely anyway he might get over it he will i'm sure he will because i just think for me personally if that was my man that i was dating that would be i just i'm like you're too precious yeah that's too precious for me i understand if there's trauma tied to it and whatever. And we had that conversation, but from what I can tell is that he's just being precious and that is just too much for me. And I'm like, you're a high maintenance. If you can't deal with my human bodily functions, what happens if I accidentally get sick and I fucking have vomit
Starting point is 00:45:40 and shit in the bed? Like I want to have a person there that can go, Oh, this is disgusting, but I'm not going to get the, it can move on from you because I had a human bodily function. I also think sometimes something that happens is that there's different precedents that are set. like he probably or may be okay with doing it in front of you i'm not saying that this is the case in this situation but sometimes it happens like guys being like oh it's fine if i fall but you need to be a lady like this sometimes there's a disparity in the conversation as well and that's when there's a way bigger problem around it i think what's you know what's good for the goose is good for the gander like if he's okay with doing it himself then he can't have a problem
Starting point is 00:46:13 with you doing it if the same rule applies to both like if he's like you know also wigged out by it and it's his own thing like then that's a different thing to unpack but yeah maybe just like assess whether these are just rules that apply to you versus him i agree with that also if that's the biggest issue in your relationship you're doing pretty we're doing all right we're doing all right should we finish with one more yeah i'm loving this let's keep it so much fun well this is a good one for you and i feel like i already know the answer okay go i've been invited to a wedding and i'm not in the bridal party but i low-key want to do full glam lashes shimmer color contour the lot my friends reckon it's disrespectful and that I'll look like I am
Starting point is 00:46:51 trying to be the main character is there such a thing as being too glam when you're a wedding guest don't wear white don't wear the white dress that's it that's the rule what don't fuck the husband and yeah don't fuck that yeah they're the rules they're the rules but other than that like go full glam it's a wedding you're having fun I want people to feel the best that they can feel at my wedding day did that come from like the person like did that come from the bride or is this just an internal no it's come so the listener is going to a wedding and the friend and she's obviously talking about the dress code and the makeup and she wants to do a full glam and they've said probably don't go full glam because you'll take away from the bride but I'm with you Hannah
Starting point is 00:47:32 I think you can do whatever makeup you want why wouldn't you like you're going to a it's an event yeah it's a big day everyone's dressing up it's the bride telling people do you reckon like don't wear makeup don't wear makeup come with plain face I wouldn't it's weird oh yeah I find the whole thing straight I don't think there's a problem with full glam makeup like if you're going to a wedding I think that a lot of people do full glam makeup for wedding like that is the it's one of the only times you get to wear full glam makeup I think the only way that it can be too glam for a wedding is if the dress code has specifically said something like cocktail summer cocktail and you've decided to go full glam like gown gown with the whole kick a bit
Starting point is 00:48:11 Then it's like, you know, you're going to be standing now. And there's not to take away from, like I, for my wedding, plural, I wanted my guests to look as good as they could and feel as good as they could. There is no one that could have taken away, quote unquote, from my day. And I hate that expression of like, you don't want to take away from the bride. Unless they were wearing patterns. But Brittany had one rule on her wedding thing. It was no patterns.
Starting point is 00:48:35 That wasn't to make sure you didn't look good. That was because I wanted an aesthetic for photos and things like that. But that's not to keep you guys smaller so you don't take away from me. I only wear patterns. As you sit here in a blue pant and a white singlet. As block colour. So patterned. You wouldn't be coming in this outfit.
Starting point is 00:48:53 There's no way. Too many patterns. This wouldn't pass the dress code test, would it? I always thought that was a funny thing. Like when someone says don't take away from the bride, it's the bride's wedding. Like no one's going to take away from her. I think the only time you could take away from the bride is if you walked in
Starting point is 00:49:06 in a full bride like a bride gown and you were in all white and you had a veil on you know the crazy thing is though this sounds like a funny silly question to us but i actually think to a lot of people and there are a lot of bride zealots out there there are a lot of brides and obviously this friend group has said it so it must be an issue with whoever this bride is that makes me think that there are more people out there that are concerned about this idea of being too much to take away from the bride than we think you know maybe we're in our own little echo chamber of normalcy here i even think though like i mean if you rocked up to a wedding wearing a wedding dress i don't think you take away from the bride i think i think you look like a fucking idiot you know
Starting point is 00:49:44 and like the problem is unfortunately that will be the conversation is like i can't believe and so that the controversy might take away from the wedding but like there's no person arriving at a wedding that can take away from the bride like that is such an incredibly unique and special moment for the people who are standing there like for both of them that i think that like there is nothing that i guessed that i might be wrong if i am wrong if you've been at your wedding and something happened that you were like no this fucking took away from the bride like i want to know what that looks like but i think we get a little bit too worked up about what people are wearing to weddings yeah it's fucking are you married hannah oh we're de facto we're de facto
Starting point is 00:50:22 yeah are you gonna have a wedding no we've got no interest in getting married we've got all the How long have you guys been together for? Ten years. Wow. How did you meet? He was a bartender at one of the venues I was working at. I was doing shows and one of the glassies came up and said, one of the Brits that's working here has a crush on you.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And I was like, which one? There's three. And went down. I locked eyes on him. Turns out it wasn't Jack. It was one of the others. But I barked up that tree so hard. And yeah, we had like, because he was from England.
Starting point is 00:50:52 So we imported. Did he meet Chris or did he meet Hannah? Met Hannah first. Wow. yeah that's so i really love that that's really cool sweet and so you had to import him from england yeah so we did the de facto partnership visa he just got his citizenship the other week which is amazing but yeah we're not going to do the wedding thing and but my brother is tim's going to do the wedding and he's now tossing up with how big he wants his wedding to be
Starting point is 00:51:17 which is a very interesting thing that's always a big it's a big question and who because if you invite this person then that automatically unlocks five more people that have to be invited yeah Yeah, it has a flow and effect. Yeah. And that's like my sister when she got married at the end of last year. She had a backyard wedding. She got married in her backyard and did the reception at her house. I love it.
Starting point is 00:51:36 It was really, really sweet. And she was 36 weeks pregnant, walking down. That's probably why she wanted just a low-key backyard wedding too. Yeah, she can't drink. She can't, you know, she was like. Probably doesn't even want to stand up. Yeah, she did. She just wanted to sit in the corner.
Starting point is 00:51:48 She wanted to be in close proximity to her couch. Yeah. And it was a beautiful little wedding, but for her it started at like 60 people and then it blew out to 90. Just by, you know, because it's like you unlock one person and that automatically means. 100%. Yeah, it's crazy.
