Life Uncut - Step aside Only Fans it's Matty J's Only feet

Episode Date: August 24, 2022

Today we've got our resident male perspective commentator and foot mould enthusiast Matty J joining the pod!We discuss how much money it would take for Matty J to send foot pics, and look, everyone's got a price that's right.We talk about the most 'no shit sherlock' study ever conducted that claims that in hetero relationships, a woman's libido is higher if her male partner shares the housework.Then we jump into your questions:1. Is it true that some men can't finish without a condom?2. Help! I did something I shouldn't have and went through my boyfriend's phone while he was sleeping. I didn't have any intention of finding anything, however, I found some photos in his 'recently deleted' folder of my friend's bag and her underwear from when she stayed at our house recently. There were also screenshots of his ex's instagram. How do I approach this situation because they don't necessarily imply cheating, but they are very fucking weird?3. Do you need to resolve a fight before going to sleep with your significant other?4. Why don't men wash their hands after going to the toilet?5. Do you feel as though there is a real thing of 'punching above your weight' in a relationship? I feel as though the guy I'm dating is much more attractive than I am, and I also think that his friends think it too.If you are looking for more information - where to buy merch, tickets to our live show or to pre order the book 'We Love Love,' visit our website.If you loved the episode, you know the drill - Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friends and share the love... because....

This episode is recorded on Gadigal land of the Aurora Nation. Hi, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. My name's Laura, and Matt is sitting across from me, imitating me, making faces, and this is just going to be a shit show.

I have said this before. I like to be referred to as Matty J. Matty J. Not Matt. Sorry, I feel like we're close enough that I can use your abbreviated name by now. Absolutely not. Matty J is joining us on the podcast and here we have a man, a man, a completely unqualified man, but still a man, to answer all of your questions from a male's perspective.

What an intro. Here I am. Thank you so much, Laura. It's very kind of you. You are. Wait, I'll start again. The love of my life. Yep. The better half, my better half specifically, the smelliest man in this house. There we go. Matty J. You're not wrong.

It's great to be here, Laura. Thank you so much for having me. I love answering these questions. This is my favourite episode to fill in on Life Uncut. Did you get any specifically? Because I know that you did a bit of a call out on your social media as well. Were there any that really stood out? To be honest, I would say 90% of the questions that were submitted

on Instagram were all about people wanting to know about the foot mold that we did like did we get foot cramps when we did the foot mold what would we have done if the kids had woken up like whilst we're mid expect to stay in that little five minutes for five minutes it was yeah it was a risky it was a risky thing if you don't know what we're talking about you can jump onto Instagram uh we created the possibly the weirdest piece of content that's ever existed do you know who actually reached out was because i bought this off amazon um it was about 60 bucks it's a hand mold but you know you make a cast of your hands holding together like a beautiful keepsake a cast of your hands except matt uh has been wanting to do this for weeks like he bought this mold casting

kit of amazon weeks and weeks ago and he kept stalling you're like oh no i'm tired i'm busy tonight he made me link toes with him which anyone who kind of has a foot aversion is going to hate this part that we linked toes and we made a foot mold together and now it is sitting on our mantle piece for all of our guests to be repulsed it's beautiful the company who actually make it's an australian company who make that foot mold package thing they messaged and said we have never seen anybody do this but thank you so much we think yeah it's really really kind of you it's always good to get a very lukewarm bit of gratitude from someone but i highly recommend it anyone out there who wants to kill some time do something weird beautiful keepsake foot molds and you know what

You might think it's disgusting, but I actually had someone offer me an amount of money for photos of my feet. How much money were they offering? Should we start an only feet? Well, I wasn't actually considering it, but I was just intrigued to know, like, what's my market value here? How far did you take it? Did you write back and say, how much will you pay for photos of my feet?

Yeah, I said, what's your budget? And what did they say? And they said, well, how much do you want? And I was like, oh, like. Say your price. It was hard because I didn't know what the, you know, what the standard price is. they only wanted photos of my soul not my actual toes which is a good thing because you know my big toe is so big it's like weirdly enlarged I used to lie to people when I was a kid and say I broke

both big toes which is why they're so big Matt has a particularly bulbous big toe so big it's not the only thing that's bulbous okay well Laura please so how much money can you make from selling foot pics did you actually get a did you get an amount did you drill it down look I'm glad you asked so i responded i said what's your budget they said how much do you want if you're only showing part of the foot do they get a discount with like no toes just the sole well i would give a full sole plus toes i would give them the package oh and i didn't write back which was kind of good a good tactic is to play hard to get because then they came back and said look i'll give you 250 for one photo of your foot i think it was for one photo i don't maybe i'm not sure

if it's expected that you at least send three or four didn't confirm but then i wrote back and said not for me thanks very much are you telling me we could have made 250 and all you had to do was send photos of your feet yeah well that's what we were doing after this episode they're not even that good the fee i've i would feel bad charging 250 i was almost just going to send them off you just be like hey look don't worry about the money just enjoy this this one's on me reel them in with a little like a little taste test and then maybe you can up your price if they do like it and want more after that it is very tempting not here to yuck anyone's yum i understand that i like feet yeah I mean I have nothing against feet I'm not someone who has a foot aversion but it is a bold

ass just to slide into someone's dms and say we don't have any connection you don't know me but I will give you 250 for a picture of your feet that's good money I'd like to think that that's a really premium price I like to think that this is a new savings plan for us in a way that we can make a little bit of income on the side I will haul those feet out hey if social media starts to slow down a little bit that's the route I'm going to take you are a content creator actually speaking of content what a segue that was you recently if anyone hasn't seen there is an instagram post that matt created it is i mean it's a little bit blasphemous it didn't get the best feedback from some people a few christians out there were a little bit angry which i understand

totally understand we dressed up as adam and eve and it was all around how unfortunately women got the short straw like we truly did it's so unfair we did when we got periods we got childbirth there was we got menopause there is a lot of things equal pay i mean we could go on and on and that is what the skit is about now matt when he creates these skits he always scripts them out and you would think that a lot of them are kind of free-flowing but we there's a lot of work and time and energy and comedy that goes into it thank you very much for acknowledging my hard work and we have to keep it all under one minute so matt had scripted out the conversation that went between god essentially and adam and eve and one of the things that god said to adam and eve in this skit

was well I wasn't sure this part now I road tested it on Laura because I wasn't sure if it was too crass I was like can I put this in there I'm not sure it was God speaking to Eve and he was like and Adam won't be able to find your clitoris this is what it was written down it was typed up but Matt was reading it out to me aloud and I would love for you to kind of just let's role play this reenact exactly how you said it i said and adam won't be able to find your clitoris sorry my what clitoris sorry um which i now know is the dinosaur that's in my vagina my clitoris it's coming for us run this scene from jurassic park this giant clitoris stomping down the road it was only last week that i discovered that my 35 year old soon-to-be husband

not only can most men not find the clitoris but there are some who don't know how to even pronounce the word it's it's a hard word to say say it now i just want to say clitoris in my head that's how it's pronounced clitoris surely there's other men out there you said it was such conviction that i found myself googling what is the correct way to say clitoris i was like and have i been saying it wrong all these years. Can I blame everybody else out there who has never once corrected me? How many times do you think that you've hooked up with girls in the past and you were like, there's your clitoris. There it is. My whole life. I've always been like, why are they pulling this weird face? I thought I was doing a good job. Yeah, look, that was awkward. I admit

it. I've learned. I've moved on. I'm learning. You're never too old to learn, Laura. Every day is a school day. That's what they say. But you know what else? I feel really validated by this. There is a study that spoke volumes to me. Not only did it speak volumes to me, but so many of you sent it to me. Now, I have said so many times on this podcast that one of the most arousing things for me, that if you, Maddie J, want to get me into the sack, all you have to do is pick up some spray and wipe, wipe down a couple of benches, fold a few towels correctly, fold them correctly in threes, and then maybe vacuum.

And that is it. That's all I need. and now there is concrete proof that i am not alone there was a study by the conversation and it was published in the journal of sex research and this is what it said it found that women in equal relationships that being equal in terms of housework and mental load were more satisfied and had higher sexual desires than those in unequal relationships who is commissioning this type of research it truly seems like a bit of a waste of money right like it's just the obvious it's like saying women women are the ones who are commissioning this type of research to try and

encourage their men who haven't done any cleaning to do more cleaning we will fuck you if you clean the house how obvious do you guys have to make it surely every guy out there knows it's like that's we're not getting the hints from our partners that we need to have scientists out there be like guys do the laundry and they will sleep with you but i mean it makes sense right men are still like i just don't know what she wants like what do i have to do out there the scientists are like listen this should not come as a surprise to anyone i think nobody feels sexually aroused or their sexual desire when there's that resentment that's building when there's this idea or or you're living in a household where you're taking on the majority workload where you're taking on

not only just the physical domestic duties but also the mental workload and your partner comes home after a day of work which in most heterosexual relationships majority of women are also working throughout the day and then they're also working throughout the night and then they're expected to have sex and nobody is in the mood and everyone has a headache and most people are feeling quite tired i'm fine with it i don't mind you don't mind cleaning or you don't mind no i don't mind i don't mind a messy house like i could cook dinner i don't need to clean the dishes before i have sex like it's fine like i don't mind having sex with dirty laundry on the floor in the bedroom see i find it completely unarousing i don't want to have sex around filth but we're in the bed

We're not around the dirty laundry or the dirty floor. Has this always been the case? It's after kids. I feel like kids is when that starts to turn for people. I think progressively, like if I look back on my 20s, I think I was fine with a messy house in my 20s, especially my teens, could not have cared less. But as I've gotten progressively older,

my standard for cleanliness has also increased. Just one second, Laura. I've got to put away a couple of things. Hang on a second. All right, let's get into the questions that you all asked. Now, there were so many that came in, which were... Look at all these towels that I'm folding, Laura. Shut up.

Oh, you like that? I have one which I'm very interested in hearing your response to as a man. Is it true that some guys can't finish using a condom? I started dating a guy, super respectful. He's kind. He's intelligent. He could even be my penguin. After a few dates, we were naked and we were about to go all the way

when he said that he didn't have a condom. So I said, I don't have unprotected sex. He was respectful and we left it. So he didn't have sex on this occasion. Good. Round two, which was only a week later, we went to have sex again and he didn't bring a condom. And this time I said, it's fine. I've brought them.

But after a long session, he said, sorry, I can't finish using one of these. So he took it off and he finished himself off with his hand. Okay. Is this normal? I'm so confused. are some guys unable to finish using a condom i think so do you know the issue here though i reckon i would put money on the fact that he's just masturbating too much tell me why you think that well there's a huge difference even when we have sex sometimes i can last two minutes

sometimes i can last ten it's a blissful two minutes let me tell you but sometimes you know We don't, I don't know when we're going to have sex. Like for me, you know, could be, could be tonight, could be tomorrow, could be next week. I'm not sure, but sometimes, you know, I will masturbate. I'll put my hand up. I'll say I do it. And it's always awkward when, when let's say I've masturbated that day and then you're

like, Hey, I'm in the mood. And I'm like, okay, well, obviously I'm going to last a bit longer here because I've just done the deed. Whereas if it's been a week or maybe longer, I'll last like a minute. I'm there raring to go. Right. Okay. So you think that he's masturbated on the day before he's gone on this date or before

they've had sex. And if he hadn't, if there was more sexual tension, sexual buildup, he would be able to come regardless of whether he'd worn a condom or not. Obviously, it's slightly desensitized when you're wearing a condom. There's no question about it. But I think I don't care who the guy is. I don't care how much sex they've had in their life, if they don't masturbate for a week and have sex wearing a condom,

I'll come in five minutes. That is a big and ballsy... It's very big. I mean, I got confident. I went with it. I'm no scientist. But can the guys who did the research about doing chores, finding it sexual,

can they do some research about guys having sex without masturbating? Okay, but there has been billions of dollars put into the production and manufacture of condoms. Oh, they're very good. They have made them as thin, as durable, as sensitized, as humanly possible. It is almost like, I mean, it's not like you're not wearing anything at all. You can still tell you're wearing a condom, but it is very thin. It does not impede sensation that much.

For him to completely say that he cannot come wearing a condom, I do also think he's gotten that in his head. Like he's like mentally, he doesn't want to wear one. He knows that if he kind of implies that enough, that eventually you're going to turn around and take your own contraception into your hands or this will just be the case he will have to finish himself off so I mean I think don't back down I'm like if you want him to wear a condom even if you're confused even if you're kind of like why is why is he not getting there don't feel guilty and don't change what you want and how you

want your contraception to be because like ultimately that's the most important thing and just tell him to stop masturbating every single day you know some guys masturbate like twice a day what do you think is probably average like if you're going to say amongst your friends and the conversations that you've had i'm sure every time you catch up with your mates you ask them how frequently they masturbate but how often is normal for a guy to masturbate i think when you're younger you're doing it like every day multiple times a day or just once a day i mean on a sunday and it's you know you're a bit hung over and you're by yourself maybe a couple times maybe four maybe five how many times do you think is your older like what's a normal amount to

masturbate if a guy is still going to maintain a active and like enjoyable sex life with their partner where it's not impeding on their ability to have good sex I don't know sometimes now I'm a very busy guy Laura because I've obviously got two girls and you know I'm doing so much work around the house I've literally I've every night I've got to fold towels for an hour maybe I think maybe like once a week maybe for me I try and save myself for when we have sex I try and give you everything of me you're such an angel you get it all this is a very exposing podcast episode we are very sorry I did not expect it to go there okay all right I have another question and this one's a little bit more serious

help I'm in a pickle and I'm not sure how to approach a situation I'm imagining someone who's literally stuck in a giant pickle being like can someone please call the police I have Found myself submerged in a giant pickle. I don't know how I got here. Sorry, continue. I'm looking for advice. I did something I shouldn't have while my boyfriend was sleeping. I went through his phone.

I didn't have any intention of finding anything. However, lately. Oh, come on. You did have intention. If you do a little bit of a dig, you think that maybe there might be something there. But she said that lately their sex life hasn't been great. Almost not. Too much masturbating.

There's a common theme here. Well, she said the sex life hasn't been great. almost non-existent for around three months, which has been really getting to me as I've opened up to him how I would like more affection. What I wasn't expecting was some photos I found in his recently deleted folder. So in his images, in his recently deleted images, there were multiple images of my friend's bag from when she stayed at my house, followed by individual images of her underwear. Followed this was two photos and there were screenshots of his ex from 2018. So he'd gone back onto his ex's profile and screenshot photos on instagram and he'd also screenshot a photo from

his snapchat of them together how do i approach this situation because the photos don't imply cheating but they are very fucking weird very strange very strange why would he take a photo of your friend's underwear your friend's underwear and the bag as well that's quite concerning that's that behavior is a little bit creepy if you ask me i agree i read this and i was like i think so many of us have been in the situation where we have found something like you did the wrong thing going through your partner's phone is an invasion of privacy but i still think that so many of us have been in the situation where we've done it i know that i have seen things in your phone not because i intentionally went through your phone but i was like how do i explain to you that i've

seen something that I shouldn't have seen because you're going to think that I'm going through your phone and one thing that comes to mind is and you might not I don't know if you remember this Matt it was before the Logies in 2019 we were in bed together and I had taken some photos on your phone and I was going through the photos and then I had accidentally well actually I deleted a few because I looked really ugly but I also deleted one where I thought I looked great and I wanted to undelete the photo sure so I went into the deleted photos and there was a photo of a girl in there nothing that was lewd but it was obviously a selfie that had been taken by her and sent and I was like why do you have a selfie like who is this girl she's not someone who you're talking

to on like who is who would be sending you a picture of themselves which is flirty not inappropriate in terms of like they're being like a you know sex sexual or anything but it was like obviously a flirty cute picture of a girl that had sent it what was my excuse again what did I say in that situation so it was a picture that one of your friends had sent in a whatsapp group of a girl that they were dating that's right so it was actually one of the guys who were on the bachelor with matt clancy had sent the photo of his new girlfriend and you know and like i said it wasn't an inappropriate photo it was just like this is the girl i'm dating but it had automatically saved your camera roll and you had deleted it so it had you were very angry that day i was fucking i was

like because like i guess coming from someone who'd been cheated on i for a long time in our relationship was worried about the worst like I was worried about what could happen and it was hard to bring it up with you because I didn't want you to think that I had purposely gone through your phone or that I was you know insinuating that something had happened it was really hard for me to bring it up with you because ultimately I had still gone into a part of your phone that I hadn't asked if that was okay like I'd still gone into your deleted items whether I was intentionally looking for something or not it was a bit of an invasion of your privacy so bringing that up I felt like god how's he going to respond to this but also i had to bring it up because i was

the curiosity got the better of me now in this situation i think you have done the wrong thing and you have to own that but you have to bring it up because this kind of weird behavior hang on if you like what do you say because i think it's one thing to have because initially when i thought it was just an old photo of his ex i didn't know it was photos of her friend's bag in friends underwear like that okay maybe you can lie maybe you can use my story maybe you can say I was going through your photos I deleted something and I saw these obviously lying's very bad but like maybe you can use my excuse okay that might soften the blow but ultimately if you're a bigger and braver person I think you should admit to it because I think that the honesty of saying

I went through your phone partly because I'm feeling really insecure I'm feeling like you don't love me anymore I'm feeling like we don't have the same sexual chemistry that we used to have something's lacking and I found it really hard to bring that up with you and I don't know why but I went looking and this is what I found and I'm really confused can we talk about this I think that's really important yeah I to me I think that's a really tricky conversation to have because I think this guy is checking out I think but do you not even think if he is checking out isn't it worth oh totally yeah yeah for sure you have the conversation but I think I mean I don't know what kind of guy it is but normally when you're in a situation where you've been found out

it's so much harder to say do you know what this is how i'm actually feeling i think his reaction would be like it was nothing i just you know i thought it was your underwear like i thought it was your bag and it was just a photo that popped up on snapchat and i'd screenshotted it by accident deleted it i think majority of guys would just give crappy excuses to shift the blame and also to not have sex for three months I would see that as a long period of time so I think there's major issues here I mean that is obviously in any conversation somebody can be defensive somebody can turn around and say you know put it back on you but at least if there are some huge cracks and some huge flaws you're opening up the platform for him to be honest you know and for him to say

what it is that's happening and if he is wanting it out or if he is completely unsatisfied in the relationship it is an opportunity for him to say look this is how I have been feeling I've gone through and you know obviously you're going back five six seven years and as soon as you get into a new relationship I've never gone through and then cleaned out every single photo I'm not talking about nudes or anything like that just you know like shots on holiday on vacation when you're at the beach together I've not gone through and cleared out everything because I don't have time and there's been moments where I've gone through and tried to find an old photo and I have gone through and looked at photos from a vacation where they're really loving photos of me and my ex

partner and gone on you know what I will delete them because I'm there right now in 2014 but that's the only time I've I've done it yeah and I guess like that's the other thing I mean here's another situation that could have arisen with the whole ex thing has he deleted all the other photos of his ex from his phone like is there no photos of his ex on his phone and were these photos that he'd screenshot a long time ago and he realized they were still in his phone so he's deleted them they're not like he's just currently gone back and screenshot these photos to then delete them which is weird so there could be an innocent answer to the things that are upsetting you if you bring it up but the one that I think is way fucking weirder is the photos of your friends

underwear like I would be very very very uncomfortable by that and I think that the only way to get some sort of resolutions and to get some sort of peace of mind around this is to have a conversation with him and see what he says in that instance and as much as you want to bring up the conversation with your partner to find out what his motive was here with these photos I think it's really important to do it on behalf of your friend because they've had such an invasion of privacy coming into your house and having those types of photos taken okay next question now this is one that I have very strong feels about do you need to resolve a fight before going to sleep with your significant other I think it's a very good call to do it I always try

to resolve a fight before before we go to bed there has been i think since we started dating laura i think maybe once or twice we've had a fight and i've slept with my back to you or vice versa i can't stand it also because i just don't sleep like you would go to sleep straight away and then sleep a solid nine hours no no no no i'm so angry i'm laying in bed staring at your back like i fucking hate you even i don't i love you but i pretend that i'm sleeping but you're so angry yeah I'm really angry and I'm like I'll pretend like I'm breathing heavily but actually I'm like and I should have said this and she said that and that really hurt my feelings and I hurt her feelings and I shouldn't have I try as best as we can I think like the biggest argument

we've ever had uh where where I think we didn't talk to each other for maybe three or four hours I think it was at the opera house I was pregnant and you were drunk I was not even drunk you threw a glass at me i did not it was a plastic cup i threw a plastic cup at you yeah yelled at you at the opera house and we called me emotional hormonal and i was like you're just being an arsehole it was a bad one it was a very bad one but in my head i knew that after we got home and we got into bed i knew that i'd have to like roll over and tap you on the shoulder and apologize because i didn't we went to sleep i did what really that's the one time we didn't make up before we made up the next day okay and then we said we will never do that again it's funny when

i talk to other couples and they take the approach of when they have a really big argument they just go to bed and then they pretend like it didn't happen i'm like oh my gosh how do you do that i always i maybe it's petty i don't know i always need to for every big argument not not the small stuff but for every big argument i feel like we need to sit down talk it through what happened why did you behave like that apologize make sure the other person has their feelings heard i think that's so important that resolution i can't i can't progress unless there has been that like everyone's had their moment had their say and we can move on well i also think in this like it comes down to argument styles right like people fight differently in the same way that we have

different love languages we all communicate differently and fight differently when we're mad and we're pissed off do i think you need to resolve a fight before going to bed no but you need to have that little peck and say i love you yeah but you need to be like even though i'm very cranky at you right now even though i'm very cross i still love you because and i this is goes for fights that are like you know i'm talking about when you are irritated and pissed off and you've and you've said and you've gotten cranky about something but the actual thing that you're cranking about is pretty inconsequential when you actually get down to the crux of like why are you annoyed at your partner what is it that's upset you if it's a big thing like you know if there's

infidelity if it's a you know if there's a big catalyst as to why you're fighting no it's unreasonable to expect and put the pressure on yourself that you're going to roll over and be like I love you everything's fine because sometimes things are not fine but if they if you know that you're going to wake up in the morning and it's going to be okay then I think one of you or both of you have to be the bigger person that rolls over and says I'm very cranky I'm very cross that I love you and we can talk about the rest of it in the morning but give me a cuddle because otherwise otherwise you hold on to being right so much yes and you're just fighting and you're really being like okay I'm gonna wait until they apologize because you want to be right and

sometimes it's better to have peace than to be right there are times where in my head I'm like there is no way that I'm going to apologize first this one's on Laura and then after an hour I'm like nope stay strong maddie j this is it this is all on laura and then after like two or three hours i'm like oh i didn't say this and i could have done this better and then we always have this moment where we look at each other like you'll come into the room and i'm in the kitchen and we look at each other and we it's a smirk we have a smirk oh we're making up now bring it in squeeze the cranky you're coming you always say yeah you're like come here okay got a couple crankies in there i'm gonna squeeze them out oh there's a few more in there one more big squeeze

and i hate it so much and then but you were like there's still a cranky in there and it always ends up making you laugh and then we get over it but no i really do think i think it's how fucking old are we these are the people you come to for relationship advice we fucking don't know what we're doing we'll be 60 and you'll be like come on you got a couple of crankies in there our kids will be like what the fuck are our parents doing but i also don't you think like you know when it comes to going to sleep and being angry you rob both of you of a peaceful night's sleep you know and it's and then it builds and you get that resentment and you just get angrier and angrier and then you're both tired and angry the next day that you didn't try and

resolve something so i think even if you can't resolve it making sure that the other person still knows that you love them because when you're angry even if it's about something petty often you can feel so angry that in that moment you're like i fucking hate my partner but you don't hate them you're just angry so i think having the rational mind come in and go okay this will pass i know that this isn't a deal breaker in our relationship so i'm not going to treat this argument as though it is the deal breaker of our relationship because that can do more damage i think i want to go one more question and this one is completely on you matt okay why don't men wash their hands when they go to the toilet and why do they constantly touch their

dick and balls i remember last night i was on the couch and i was on my phone and i was doing that little i was doing the announcement to say hey if you have any questions submit it here for us uncut no one could see where my hands were but i had my hands on my i was cupping it why did why are you cupping it while you're putting a an instagram thing up it just feels good when i cut my balls okay but why i i don't know it just feels it feels secure i think it's the same for women though because we often just hold a breast like we'll be i was gonna say like you hold your clitoris often you'll be doing something and you'll just hold the right breast or the left breast mine's my left one i think i find that yeah yeah it just feels it just feels good in

terms of washing hands oh gosh uh you've really put me on the spot here i mean i always wash my hands no matter what i'm doing in the bathroom because that is the hygienic thing to do you are disgusting would you wash your hands after you do away uh look i mean do you want me to tell the truth or what you're disgusting i'm building resilience you cook food with those hands yeah yeah i do look sometimes it's it's winter right now the water comes out it's extremely cold and i can't bother to wait for it to warm up and it's disgusting it's absolutely yes because there is an expectation that women always wash their hands and we do always wash our hands when we go to the toilet it's like very normal that's ingrained in us since we're little like why is

it as women what do you mean i think it's the same for men like is it though then why do men one day just stop doing it because it's why i feel awkward here telling you that i mean there's so much judgment look sometimes i'll do like a fake wash you know i'll like who are you faking it to because okay okay all right look let's say it's a sporting event and there's a guy next to me at the sink except i don't want i don't want wet hands i don't want to you know and i haven't rather penis fingers instead i haven't had to open any doors and so sometimes i'll just like put the water on and i'll like make it look like i've splashed my hands under the water but really i've just done it to make it look like they're being washed and i walk out

i i don't feel like we've actually gotten to an answer from this all we have resolved is the fact that matt is also a disgusting man who doesn't wash his hands you cannot attack me like that i'm sorry about that uh i think it's just men are bloody lazy and any any way that we can cut corners oh there we go we have the answer yeah answer that everyone has been looking for men are just really bloody lazy and it doesn't matter what the activity is it could be sex washing your hands washing the car if we can cut a corner we'll bloody do it okay i don't think let's not stereotype all men like some are great no we're pretty shit let's be honest so you always wash your hands always every single time i go to the toilet i wash my hands

look at you so fucking perfect on your high horse over there do we have time for one more even if it's just a quickie sure do you believe that there is such a thing as punching above your weight in a relationship i feel like the guy i'm dating is much more attractive than what i am And I also think that some of his friends think this about me also. Do you think that this is something I should be concerned about? Not concerned, but it's definitely a thing. It's not a thing. I mean, I'm doing it right now in my relationship.

No. Of course there can be different levels of attractiveness. I just gave you the world's biggest compliment and you just zoomed on past it. Because it's not true. It's not true. Yeah, I know it's not true, but I was trying to be sweet. It's like, it's a last question. Okay.

I think this is so problematic and it makes me feel so angry for you and I also feel upset that you think that you are not as attractive as your partner they're not worthy as well yeah this makes me really sad and the reason why this makes me really sad is because I would hope that for everyone that the least important thing in life that the least valuable thing that you bring to a relationship is your level of attractiveness. Because I would hope that you have so many other great qualities, like, you know, whether you're funny or a fucking interesting person. And I think of Celeste Barber with this. Celeste Barber, I remember her doing an interview and she was talking about, she always talks about her husband. She's like, you know, my hot husband. Yeah. And

she said, the least interesting thing about me is the way I look. And I love that because I think you can show up in a relationship and you can be such a fucking great, interesting person that keeps things spicy that you know brings interesting conversation that stimulates your partner in so many other ways do not devalue yourself or question your relationship or question the reasons why your partner finds you attractive because of this that you're basing it on your looks and i think that by doing that by questioning your worthiness by questioning your value purely based on your looks all you're doing is devaluing your relationship but it's really easy to say that but at the same time when you're dating like that first couple of weeks like the first month so much of your

own self-worth does come down to looks because that's all you're able to to see like you haven't been able to show them that you're really intelligent and really funny and also really patient and caring and kind like those parts come later on yeah but i think if somebody has opted into a relationship like if you're dating someone and your insecurities are around the way that you look but they're choosing you they're actively in that relationship they have picked being in a relationship with you they spend their time with you they're not giving you any question to doubt their commitment you can create such a level of insecurity in your relationship by questioning like what is it in me that they find attractive and that ultimately has nothing to do with them

and them showing up in the relationship it has to do with your self-worth and how you view yourself and what you think you bring to that relationship so this isn't a question so much about like can someone be punching up or punching down it's how do you view yourself is the most important question God, you're good, Laura Byrne. Goodness me. And that is your pep talk, ladies and gentlemen. That is my rant for the day. Absolutely bang on.

But I think back, the reason why I think I really like this question is because when we first started dating, there were definitely times where I felt insecure and I was like, what do you see in me? And then that made me question my level of attractiveness and my self-worth. And then I pitted myself against other people who had been on The Bachelor or other bachelorettes

or people that had won the bachelor in the past. And I think the only person who suffers in that situation is the one who's doing all that questioning, is the one who feels not good enough. No one else even knows that you're having these thoughts and these feelings, but you can really fuck with your mental health. Because I was having those thoughts as well. Were you?

Nah. I knew I was pretty good back then. I was a bachelor. You're like a fine wine, my love. You're only getting better with age. No, now, five years on, I'm washed up. I'm like, shit, what have I got to offer? I don't even wash my hands.

You don't even wash your hands. Like you've still got some dabs on you. All right, that is it from us, guys. If you have loved speaking to Matt, he will be back next week on next week's Thursday episode. I haven't told you that yet, but you will be. Am I? Yeah.
