Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Brittany, and before I introduce our guest today, I'm just going to say we've had to mix it up a little bit. This is Tuesday, but we are doing our Thursday's Ask Uncut episode, and I have a very special guest with me, backed by questionably popular demand. I'm not sure. We have ... Hang on. Hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Britt, a lot of people did say, we really enjoyed the episode with Maddie J, and we would like to have him back for more episodes because it gives us information that we wouldn't normally get access to yeah so you wrote that but what did everyone else write no we did get so much amazing feedback actually i was almost really surprised too much almost too much laura was like we have created a monster i was stuck in the bedroom my head was hugely inflated how many burner accounts did you make no guys we do have matt back i guess the good thing about having maddie and he's having that guy's perspective because we've never had a guy in the podcast before but matt gives a really good introspective look into the way the male
Starting point is 00:01:34 mind works i don't want to sound arrogant when i say this brit so forgive me if it does come across this way but i am a genius oh no that's pretty arrogant and i think it would only be unfair to the listeners of life uncut if i didn't give my knowledge to them as well so you know i'm here to please I'm a giver it's great to be back look it's good to have you guys this wasn't actually planned just so you know what is going on Laura Laura's baby is just going nuts it's having a little disco dance party it's causing her a little bit of a havoc she needs to go and have a little rest and a time out we've put her in the corner in another room and Matt just sort of got thrown in here so how do you feel about this not even being like a planned thing you
Starting point is 00:02:17 haven't even had time to think about it i was having my first mouth of salmon when you rushed out into the living room and said can you step up to the plate and i was like oh you're like i was born for this i've been waiting for this moment just ripped off my t-shirt my life uncut vest was there laura is having all sorts of trouble with his baby literally doing a scene from alien clawing its way out so i'm happy to step up last minute yeah the time has come where laura fought us on it she this is her baby she does not give this podcast up easily and it was she had no choice we put her in the corner we're like you know what take a breather but tell me what has been happening in your life i feel like i haven't caught up with you in about 12 hours it's been a
Starting point is 00:03:03 pretty boring week except except brit i had the most extravagant saturday planned just gone on the weekend had a mate's 40th i had the heat wave was on so i was going to go down to the beach i had so much going on and i had the worst case of spitty bum or as as they call it in the medical profession gastro gastroenteritis all right you show off i wasn't sure if i was going to admit this or not and laura may edit this out of the podcast she won't but i i fell asleep on friday night fully clothed I went to bed at maybe like five or six o'clock thinking I was going to vomit and I hate vomiting so I just thought I'm going to sleep it off throughout the night there was one moment where I woke up because I had to fart and I pushed it out and I and I thought you shut
Starting point is 00:03:56 the bed please tell me that's true no I didn't because I was fully clothed so you shut your pants because that's so much better and Laura didn't sleep in the bed because she didn't want to get sick so she slept in marley's room and it wasn't until i woke up the next morning and it was 6 a.m and i was like oh thank goodness i was wearing shorts because in your pants didn't even wake you up it was it was a tight like tiny tiny bit was it tiny bit or you exaggerated the fact no it was a couple of specs you have it there you have it guys matt shaggy's pants on the weekend let's leave that story there okay um so you're fine now because i'm sitting pretty close to you That's my question.
Starting point is 00:04:34 No, I'm good. I'm good. Anyway, that's me. That's the highlight of my week. How have you been, Britt? Well, I had a little highlight. Actually, I don't know if it's a highlight. I had a patient at work last night and she comes in and I'm doing my stuff with her,
Starting point is 00:04:46 doing the procedure, and she keeps looking at me the whole time. And she goes, God, do you know who you look like? And I was like, who? She's like, Brittany from The Bachelor. And I'm like, she's like, you probably get that all the time. And I'm like, yeah, I do. And she's like, it's literally uncanny. You look so much like her.
Starting point is 00:05:05 You even sound like her. And I was like, that's because I am Brittany from The Bachelor. She started crying. She was like, what the hell? Hang on, wait. Were you wearing a face mask at this point? No, she could just see my whole face. And I'm like, I don't know whether I'm flattered or I'm offended
Starting point is 00:05:17 because I don't look like what you thought I look like or I look similar. Like, I don't know how to take that. Is that a compliment or not? I've had something similar happen to me where I was at a cafe and someone came up to me and said, I'm not sure if you've heard this before, but you look exactly like Maddie J.
Starting point is 00:05:31 and I said you know I played along and I was like I get it all the time all the time it's funny you only know once a week at least and then she was like yeah you could be like his twin and then I said look secrets out I am Maddie J and she was like no you're not you liar and I was like I was like no I am Maddie J and I didn't have my wallet on me because I was paying on my phone and I but Buster was there and I'm like look it's a three-legged dog like it's literally me I am Maddie jay and she didn't believe me she was like nice try and then she walked off you know who else i get all the time who if it's not like you look like britney hogley it's like you look like angelina jolly no in um in less exciting news in less exciting news i finished work at midnight last
Starting point is 00:06:18 night you know those days it was the 40 degree day it was a heat wave then i go to work for my 10 hours it's midnight i'm tired i walk out to the car park my car's dead it's like you literally can't get a worse top off of a day you're thinking to yourself i'm a good person i don't deserve this why are you doing dirty anyway it's going to be a couple of grand and i don't have a car so let's just not talk about that one hey at least you didn't shit yourself and i always have that all right man i think that's enough talk about that let's get into some questions you guys know this is our favorite little segment you get to write in your deepest darkest dirtiest sexiest weirdest most questionable questions and we do our best to answer them so matt i'm gonna throw
Starting point is 00:07:06 you under the bus for this one i see you lurking in the facebook group so i want you to give me a question first all right i've got one i've got one i saw this a few days ago on the life uncut facebook group and i very nearly wrote a response so close but why didn't you i'm still do you feel like you're meddling too much if you throw yourself in there no i feel like do you know the best way i can describe it is that it's like i'm a parent and everyone right now in the facebook group for life uncut is having a little party and i don't want to be the parent knocking on the door being like time to wrap it up hey guys is everyone okay here everyone having fun so i'm just letting them do their thing but I am sitting back on the sidelines but this one caught my eye I'm just
Starting point is 00:07:47 gonna paraphrase it but essentially somebody had gone on a first date and on this first date they brought up the topic of past relationships but the guy she was on the date with and that kind of startled him he went back and said I don't think this is a topic that we should really touch upon for the very first date she was surprised by that because she was saying well what does it matter you know my past relationships have shaped who I am and I also want to find out more about this guy and how he's got to where he is right now so she's saying why can't we speak about past relationships on the first date do you think it's acceptable or should that wait until down the track oh this one i have mixed feelings about i'm borderline and i don't like
Starting point is 00:08:29 to say this often but i'm a little bit of a fence sitter on this one i have opinions that are strong for both parties i don't think you necessarily should go out of your way to bring it up on a first date it's not a checklist for me I don't want to know about I want to know everything about him but not on the first date I don't think you need to know about how he broke up with his ex why they broke up what they went through how long they were together I think maybe that's like a second third fourth date when you want to know more about them but for now of course that shaped who he is 100% and my relationships and your relationships everyone's relationships are going to shape who they are but I think a first date should be a little bit more fun surface level
Starting point is 00:09:12 light hearted get to know each other on a bit more of a I don't want to say superficial level but just have fun with it and getting to the deep dark nitty-gritty later also you don't know how traumatic someone's past could be like if someone straight up went to me because people ask me that they ask me about my ex I'm not going to say he was marrying someone else and had a double life for three years and was you know had secret photos of me and filming me and I'm never going to tell someone that on a first date no you can laugh now i i know i i forget how traumatic it is so i just imagining if a guy had stumbled onto the subject of like hey brit when was your last relationship and then you went to that that much detail like that's that's a mood kill isn't it
Starting point is 00:09:52 isn't it just so i feel like i don't think he should have a problem with it but i also think if he doesn't want to speak about it he's entitled to say oh let's get into that another time i think it's okay for him to brush it off i really like his honesty if i was on the first date and laura was talking about her ex-boyfriend asking about my past relationships i guess i would see it as though she was still hung up on that person and i guess i would see it as that she wasn't ready to start dating other people oh yeah i would see it as a big negative i think it's definitely not something that i ask about like i don't go into a first date i have things in my head that i want to know and then i want to find out but most of that is surface level i.e chemistry level you want
Starting point is 00:10:35 to see if the banter's there you want to see if you're interested in the same things you want to see if you both want the same things i think the trauma or the breakups are the lessons someone has learned in the past and what they've gone through is not relevant on a first date i'm going to generalize here and i would say the vast majority of breakups haven't ended that well there are definitely some out there that you know i'm sure it's really amicable amicable between the two people but to bring up a really negative subject i think it's only going to really kill the mood well so i went on i was dating this we all know stating this french guy the first date he asked me about my exes but how did he bring up the subject did it was he like hey that's a nice
Starting point is 00:11:17 watch where's it from and you're like well it's from an ex blah blah blah blah no he straight up was like um so like you know that you know the how long okay so i think this question's okay how long have you been single when was your last relationship that's fine but then I don't think you delve into that more so I think you know he asked that and obviously mine's been a very long time and then he's like well tell me sort of like about your ex why did you break up and I just stopped him it wasn't rude I was like do you know what like I don't think we even need to go there let's just let's just move on that's for another time and he was like yeah cool no worries I think if if the conversation is flowing that way and they're open to it and whoever you're on the date
Starting point is 00:11:49 with is open to it sure delve into it go and ask ask what you want if that's where the vibe's going But I don't think you can sit down with that on the agenda. I don't think in your mind you can be like, I need to know how many relationships he's had, how many people he's slept with, why they broke up, when they broke up. Girls, save that for another date. If it does organically go there, totally fine. But there is so much you could talk about.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Why would you want to talk about the ex? Do you want to know something else? What's that, Britt? I'm bringing a whole other aspect in. Hit me. What do you got? I don't know if it's the same for you, for men. Actually, this is really interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:20 What I have found in the past, so when I date someone now, the old britney used to go and scroll back look at who their exes were what they looked like what they did together and it just never ended well because they were always beautiful they were always like okay why would you do that for what reason for no other reason than i was that i was like this girl i was that interested in what his life was i was like okay who was the if you if i knew that the person i was dating had been in a relationship with someone for three years i want to know what that girl was like that kept him captivated for three years so i used to go back i'm talking years ago and i look at their photos and it never ever ended well because all
Starting point is 00:12:54 of a sudden you start to compare yourself to them totally and i just think i stopped doing it one day you know why i was dating this guy he was amazing he's in london amazing seemed super normal we didn't like delve into each other's past at all until about two months in i got curious and i looked at his ex and she no joke was like a victoria supermodel she was the most beautiful like she was insane and then i went all like weird kooky britney and i didn't know how to handle it and all of a sudden i was like she was in all these designer clothes you know everything was like gucci and you all and i i had like what i call kamar but it's cayman but like i'm just i was not that kind of person and then all of a sudden i felt insecure i didn't feel good enough
Starting point is 00:13:40 i didn't feel like i belonged there i didn't know why he liked me and i ruined the relationship Yeah, no good is going to come from that. No, so I just decided then, I was like, you know what, if he's dating me now, he's interested in me, what he's been with in the past is irrelevant. Do you feel like that? Did you delve into people's past? Yeah, sometimes I do, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:57 You still do, do you? No, I think Laura and I these days, I think we're really open about, now that we've been together for, was it three, maybe four years? Is it Laura? Three and a half. Coming up. Three and a half. and now I think we both will talk about our exes really openly
Starting point is 00:14:15 so it's not a difficult subject but I think maybe initially when she would talk about her ex I would still the thought of Laura being with another guy intimately initially was something that was quite difficult for me to fathom you know in my little perfect world in my head Laura's only ever loved me and only me and she would never give herself to anybody else
Starting point is 00:14:36 and I know that's not true but it's this little fairy tale that I just want to keep going in my head you know that's a that's actually i was recently reading this um in a psychology on a psychology lecture it's a real problem where people cannot fathom people can't fathom their partner being with anyone else but my question is before laura i want to know before laura did you look at people you were dating's exes oh for sure and did it make you feel shit yeah okay there you go that's the question don't do it moving on all right i have a question for you now i am going to paraphrase this one because it was a long one too I want to know what I'm doing wrong when I go out at night
Starting point is 00:15:10 I go into a bar I'm looking hot I'm feeling good I'm with my friends I see guys they're hot they're feeling good we're making eyes at each other and I'm like yes this is it they're gonna come talk to me we're gonna hook up and then nothing what am I doing how can I get these people to come and approach me where am I going wrong well hang on firstly is this question coming from somebody else or is this coming from you Brittany why don't you call me out on the podcast man no that's not me is it be honest it's a real listener but like I would also like to know if you want to tell me that's fine no this is I think this is actually a really common question in this day and age gosh I'm trying to cast my mind back to trying to flirt in a bar what is like a signal that you're allowed
Starting point is 00:15:56 to go up and speak to someone or are you intimidated by approaching a woman if they're in a group totally if there's a big group of girls oh my god oh really no i don't care who you are everyone's worst fear when you're like out trying to pick up in a bar everyone's worst fear is rejection you know nobody wants that at all and even worse than being rejected is being rejected in front of a crowd if you went up to a group of girls and then picked out one of those girls and then said hey can i do you want to have a chat can i buy you a drink and then you got rejected with her friends standing in the background oh my gosh so is that that bad yeah i think so like but then there's safety in numbers as well so it's yeah i can understand why people are hanging
Starting point is 00:16:39 out in groups i think something that would really grab my attention would be somebody just locking eyes just for that like extra second yeah not like a long long stare like not like a creepy stare brit like three seconds yeah and then you know when you lock eyes after a second then you can give them a smile and you know when when someone gives you a smile it's it's instinct to smile back and then i think that's like step one of flirting but then it most often you know i think people would expect that a guy would make the first move to approach the girl but i even think tell me if this sounds weird but if you were in a big group of girls and there was a guy that you had locked eyes with you had smiled at each other would you then separate yourself like with one of your one
Starting point is 00:17:24 of your girlfriends so you weren't in like a group of six girls just like to the side so it would be more you would seem more approachable for that guy well yes so what i would do because i have a lot of male friends and they've all said the same thing so like this is my advice to this girl definitely if you're in a big tight group of girls it's going to take one really confident ballsy or really drunk dude to feel like he can come and approach you and just like at you in front of all your girlfriends what I have done what I do what I advise people do is to go if you see him standing in line for a drink or talking to his friends go and position yourself near him in the line at the bar so that it's obvious that he can see you if he wants to make the move it's
Starting point is 00:18:07 then he can stand next to you and buy a drink he can come up and chat to you with no one else around you're actually just putting yourself into a position where you're both comfortable no one's gonna judge you and if that doesn't work there's a chance he's not interested because the safest place to start having a conversation with somebody is when they're in line for a drink 100 that's when that's when they're at their weakest that's when you have to pounce but also that's when the guy would have to offer to buy you a drink oh so it's yeah very clever my my friend what he used to do and i thought it was genius i thought he was very clever for doing this but he would go up to a girl sometimes he had locked eyes with her sometimes he hadn't
Starting point is 00:18:50 and he would just go up to her and say excuse me are you flirting with me and the girl would be like normally quite confused and goes excuse me go i mean it's quite obvious to me that what you're trying to do right now is flirt with me and i'm i'm very flattered it would kind of go either way a lot of the time they would laugh and then he would then start the conversation that was his icebreaker of just like coming in cold are you flirting with me i think that is great and i can i advise women to do that to men too especially if everyone is out with their friends having a drink people are going to be approachable no one's going to laugh at you if you come up and say something to them you're going to get a vibe if you go up and start a conversation
Starting point is 00:19:28 you're going to get the vibe if they're somewhat interested or not but i think if someone smiles back at you that is definitely a good sign like if that person doesn't want to speak to you they won't give you a smile I think the thing that we all need to sort of get our head around is this fear of rejection and failure I think we put failure on a pedestal a little bit and and we think it's a be-all and end-all but I don't think it has to be the second that I started to not worry about failure personally in my life was the second that things started to happen for me because you're not scared of anything you're not holding back which in turn is giving you more opportunities in life you if you can get the guts to go up and speak to that guy knowing that he might say sorry
Starting point is 00:20:08 i've got a girlfriend sorry like i'm just with the boys tonight whatever what's the worst thing that can happen you're gonna turn around and walk back to your friends and have a laugh and have a drink and have a great night or he could be the love of your life or failing all that you can just do it from the comfort of your own home on bumble on your couch in your pajamas absolutely all right And I'm going for question number three. Long story short, my friend's fiancé cheated on her with her cousin. Now – Wait, hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:20:37 You're already lost, aren't you? Say that one more time. So my friend's fiancé cheated on her with her cousin. So it's literally like you cheating on Laura with Laura's cousin. She does have a very beautiful cousin. Does she? Lock him up, Laura. So now the cousin and that ex-fiance are getting married.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Okay. So they've cheated and now he's left his partner or the cousin. So hypothetical, I have cheated on Laura with her cousin. I am now getting married to that cousin. And now her family are making her go to the wedding. So Laura has now come to the wedding of me with a new cousin. Now, Laura doesn't want to go, but her family is saying blood is thicker than water and you should go. This friend's saying this is fucked up.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I don't think she should go. And I told her she should turn up in a white dress. What do you guys think? This is real Dr. Phil. Like, do you have to go to your ex-fiance's wedding who cheated on you with your own cousin? Surely not. Yes. Yes, you do.
Starting point is 00:21:45 No, you do not. Rubbish. I agree with the family. Blood is thicker than water. you gotta suck it up find yourself a beautiful dress get your hair did put some beautiful makeup on go to that wedding and then find your ex-partner's cousin and then fuck him mad we don't teach two wrongs make a right here at life uncut an eye for an eye absolutely look that is an option i'm not going to rule that out but i don't know if you're serious or not do you
Starting point is 00:22:16 think she should actually turn up and go to the wedding whilst i want this to play out like a scene of dr phil slash jerry springer i think there would be nothing more awkward than going to the wedding of your ex-partner who is now hooking up with your cousin oh my gosh yeah there's so much wrong with this on so many levels i'm gonna straight up say i absolutely would not go absolutely i don't think you should be going and this blood is thicker than water thing i i am not on par with that because you can have people in your life that are friends that are not blood related that are more family than your family if she actually is from a family where it's going to cause more harm than good maybe this is a really tight-knit family and
Starting point is 00:22:54 they will cast her aside if she doesn't turn up then i'm going to say go be the bigger person hold your head up high don't cause a scene just just go there be a shadow in the background do your thing and leave but ultimately it comes down to it doesn't matter what the situation is or who's involved if you don't want to do something and it's making you that uncomfortable you don't have to do it well you have to listen to your gut and as hard as it must be to go against the wishes of your family if you really feel so strongly that it's not the right thing for you to do you have to listen to what your body's telling you i guess sometimes you do just have to put yourself first and your mental health and and your happiness and your well-being
Starting point is 00:23:33 is more important sometimes than making somebody else feel good for a day 100 i reckon that's the rap on that one hey did you ever watch ricky lake yes she was on she was the woman version of like jerry springer wasn't she the best i was pretty jerry jerry remember i was i just feel like they got he got more fights on yeah no he was more delinquent he was like more lowbrow he was so lowbrow he like was kind of in between your oprah and she was like a chat show oh yeah i i that was my jam oh you got a soft spot yeah feeling very ricky lake-esque okay question four the very last question that we have for this episode. So here's the situation. I've been dating a guy for six months now and things are going really great. We're not living together. We haven't told each
Starting point is 00:24:18 other that I love you yet, but it feels like that is definitely the next step for us to take. I was assuming that given Christmas is only a few weeks away, I would get the invite to spend it with his family, except he hasn't brought it up. And I know that he has plans locked in to go interstate. should I bring it up and ask him if we want to spend Christmas with each other is it normal that after six months he doesn't want to spend Christmas with me and his family should I be concerned okay so Laura and I actually completely unrelated to this question this is actually funny this has come in probably like two weeks ago we had this exact conversation just someone else that we knew that we're a couple we're spending Christmas apart we started to chat about it
Starting point is 00:25:02 and Laura and I have very opposite opinions on this. I don't think you need to spend Christmas together when you're just dating, when you're just new, even like even a couple of years in sometimes. Okay. What? If, listen, if, I have my reasoning. If you're both close to your families and your families are interstate
Starting point is 00:25:24 and there's no way you can split Christmases, then I think each individual is entitled to go and spend it with their family. And I don't think it means anything to the couple. I don't think it means you love each other less. I don't think any of that. Once you have kids and you're married, different story. You probably need to alternate year to year. When I was in a long-term relationship and we, both of our families were in the same city, we split the day, half the day with one family, half the day with the other. Then when I was in a relationship where they were in different cities, I am so close to my family that even if he begged me to spend Christmas with him,
Starting point is 00:25:57 I wouldn't have because we weren't married. My family is just as important to me as his family and I think you can spend your Christmases apart and then meet up on Boxing Day even the next day. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Now, Laura, you probably think the same as Laura, do you? No, I think spending it on Christmas Day, on that specific day of the calendar can be very tricky.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Logistically, like you said, people are in different states. It's just not going to work out. but in our family we've been very accommodating where one year we'll have it as a johnson christmas on christmas day and the following year we'll do it either before or after christmas so that you know we can alternate between other families of the partners but i i think in that christmas break you know between christmas and new year including boxing day i think that's the time when you want to spend it with your family and the person that you're dating even if it's Obviously, if it's like a month in, I totally get it.
Starting point is 00:26:54 But I think any longer than four months, I would say that you're in a fully committed relationship and I think spending time with your partner and their family is exactly what is on the cards for you. Absolutely. But does that mean- But you're talking about going two years and not spending Christmas with that partner and his family?
Starting point is 00:27:10 I just don't think it's the end of the world. If one person in this relationship isn't as close or their family doesn't mean as much or that day doesn't mean as much, then that's fine but if i'm talking if you have two people that love their families they're really close to their families they've got nieces and nephews the whole thing they always spend christmas together fuck yeah spend it apart it doesn't mean you two love each other any less but it means that you want to go and spend a really special time with your family you're going to speak to your
Starting point is 00:27:36 partner then fly and see them the next day i would struggle i would struggle with that really but i'm so independent you're a little bit emotionally attached okay the one thing that i'm thinking about right now is with this question, I wonder why the partner hasn't at least brought up the subject of Christmas. You know, obviously we're now only a few weeks away. You think that at some point he would say and explain to her, Hey, you know, logistically it's not going to work. So this is the plan and this is what I will see you. So I am, you know, we are going to spend time together. It's just not going to be on this specific day. Yeah. So I guess the question is here are you in a defined relationship or is this casual or is this a situationship is this possibly
Starting point is 00:28:23 more one-sided like have you guys had the conversation at all to define the relationship because what if this girl thinks it's more than it actually is that's the only reason I can think that he hasn't brought it up at all maybe he doesn't want the confrontation of of letting her down so he's just avoiding this subject because he's like a typical male and just doesn't want have conflict well the other thing is some people take longer than six months to even want to introduce somebody to their family like I know for me that is not the case my family's very open I would I could introduce someone after a week it could be months it could be anything it's like I don't put parameters on it it's not a big deal but for some people they don't want to let someone
Starting point is 00:29:03 into their life on a special day like Christmas if they're not sure yet that this is going to be the person for them so I think the best thing this girl can do is bring the conversation up herself if you are actually in a relationship with this person for six months i think you can say hey what are plans for christmas like do you do we want to try and see each other or just put the feelers out there i think if you cannot have an open conversation after six months with your partner that there are other issues at play hang up this podcast and say babes what are we doing for christmas well don't hang up the podcast just yet wait until the episode finishes give us a review and then speak to your boyfriend yeah but okay i you and i and laura and i are never going
Starting point is 00:29:43 to meet on this because we see it very differently you guys think that you have to be spending it together for it to be meaningful i think it doesn't have to be so i think it's whatever i don't think you guys should put a lot of pressure on it if it's not what you think society's norm is i think whatever's working for you guys as individuals whatever works for you as a couple every single person relationship family is going to do something completely different you can't compare yourself to someone else whatever they're doing and trust me you are going to look on instagram on christmas day and you're probably going to feel like shit because everyone goes and puts all their couple photos on i get every fucking year but you've just got to like live
Starting point is 00:30:21 in the moment and live your truth and live your best life ultimately it's not about spending christmas together on that specific day it's more so about having the conversation and making sure that you are at the forefront of your partner's mind and they are thinking about you. Absolutely. That was sweet and deep, ma'am. Don't. Hang on, no.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Britt, you can't give a compliment like that and then laugh. You can't. You're meant to say something like that which is very sincere and then be silent. Okay, well done, Matt. Guys, that is it for Ask Uncut. I'm sorry that this week we have had to have a little mix around. We've obviously put this on the Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Hang on. Don't you dare apologize. For having you on. For bringing me on the podcast. That is something that we should embrace and not apologize for. And Britt, I don't know if Laura mentioned this, but we do have three weeks left of the Babble before we break for the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And I would love to have the two of you on, if that's okay. Just remind me, what's the Babble again? It's the number one pop culture podcast every Monday, every Thursday.
