This episode is recorded on Gadigal land of the Aurora Nation. Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm Brittany and this is our radio show The Pickup. It is The Pickup but it feels sad because it's just you and me. It's The Pickup a little bit different this year, yes. And R.I.P. Mitch, we love you, miss you. We're still dead, we don't have to R.I.P. Well, I mean, I know, but I still miss you.

But it did feel very Life Uncut-y Because it's just you and me and we're recording in our studio now. So the radio show has – it's all changed. It's a whole new thing now. It's Life Uncut with a different name. But on radio, we're not allowed to swear. And this week, you guys will have to have known by now, Matty J has gone into the I'm a Celebrity jungle.

It was so funny. So Matt did a cross to us. He's been over in Africa. He crossed to us from like the middle of the night there. From like a little hut. From his little hotel room, which was the first media cross that he was able to do because he was the very first person that was announced for the show.

There's got to be like props if you're banging the celebrity to get an exclusive. Like you're banging the celebrity in there. That's how you get the exclusive. If you asked Matt, I'm not banging him enough though. Imagine if he gave his first exclusive to someone else. Well, the funny thing is, is that Channel 10 publicity got in touch because they wanted us to obviously interview Matt on the radio show, but they didn't tell our producer who it was that we were interviewing.

And I was like, I know who it is because I'm married to him. So I know that he's in the jungle because he left me on Monday. Imagine if he didn't tell you. He's just got a duck away from work and then you see him on the screen. Oh, man, he tried that, though. Like, I'm pretty sure he'd already said yes to doing the show. 100%. Before he actually fully told me that he was going to do it.

Which, if you guys want to go back and listen to that, Matt filled in on an Ask Uncut episode last week and that was also the announcement episode. So we kind of unpack how I was feeling around it and kind of where I am now and everything. but now I am very very excited and also by the time this episode comes out it means that the evening of this will be the very first show so there's lots happening in the world of Jungle and us and everything else. We've also got some Ask Gun cuts and my New Year's resolution which

I set the bar very low but we're going to talk a little bit about that. I didn't talk about my New Year's resolution because it is so unbelievably low and achievable but also I kind of hate it. I hate it. I'm doing it and I don't like it. So your New Year's resolution is arguably pretty easy to achieve. And mine is so stupid that it's almost worth not mentioning, but I'm going to do it anyway. My New Year's resolution was that I want to start moisturising. I want to be a girl. Even if I set the bar low, yours couldn't get lower. I don't ever moisturise my body. I never moisturise my legs. I never moisturise my arms. That's why you always look like a flaky flake.

Yes, I am the driest bitch in the world. Dry and hairy and scaly. It's also why you had to go to a dermatologist. They were like, it's an easy fix, moisturize your crusty bitch. I paid $500 because that's how much a specialist dermatologist appointment is. And she was like, that's dermatitis because I've never seen skin so dry. What was your aversion to moisturizing? I don't like feeling sticky.

I don't like feeling damp. I have felt damp all day from moisturizing. Okay, you're using the wrong moisturizer. Here's a little moisturizing lesson. There are multiple different kinds of moisturizers, some that can, like, make you feel wet all day, some that sink in. You do not.

You've been doing it for a day. You do not use everything. I have tried. I honestly mean this. I have tried every single type of moisturizer that there is to try. She even gave me a bag of samples of all the different kinds, water-based, oil-based, like epidermal, blah, blah, blah. I've tried them all.

They're all awful. Like, I hate the sensation of moisturizing cream. But that's just because you haven't worn it for so long, so it feels like something new. Like you've been so dry and crusty, you don't know what it's like to be hydrated. I feel as though I'm wrapped in a wet towel all day, but I'm sticking to it.

I've never looked more hydrated. You're very shiny. I'm so shiny. Very moist. And that is my in of 2025, is moisturising. So is that what she said to get rid of that rash? She looked at the rash and she said that's probably going to stay forever. Because it's not rash, it's pigmentation.

She was like, you're stuck with that. You can laser that bad boy. Yeah, I will. I've lasered it off my face. Then I'll have to moisturize even more. All right. Look, there is actually a lot on the show. We also talk wedding regrets.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen I put a post up last week, a couple of days ago that said, hey, like, tell me your regrets because I'm still planning, right? It's really creeping up, this wedding, and I should be finished my planning and I haven't and that is starting to stress me out a little bit. That's all on me. But I wanted to know, like, what did you do that you either wish you didn't or what didn't you do that you wish you did? Like, because hindsight's a wonderful thing.

If you're getting married, this is for you. Go back and look at this post. It's only a couple of posts ago. There's, like, I don't know, a thousand comments. And it's really – it's actually a really good space to go if you're wedding planning. Mine is, like, just stress less. It's going to be fine.

It all comes together eventually. You were very stressed. I remember. Which now I can say I wish I had stressed less because it was the best day of my life. But you had distress. You were two weeks out and didn't have a plan. All right, well, look, let's get into the show. Our very first one of 2025. It is a very big year in my household. My daughter, Molly May, she's just started. Well,

she hasn't started school yet because school doesn't start until like the 6th of February. But she started this thing called vacation care. So I feel like it's different from when we were at school, right? It's kind of the same as before and after school care, except you send them for the whole of the holidays so they can get acquainted with the school. I feel like if I have a kid, that's what I'm going to do. It's called boarding school. No, I love, I will love my future child. It's like, I love kids, but I can't wait to send them away. No, Marley wanted to do it. And like, but the one thing is, is she's been at daycare this whole time. And I had really underestimated how much easier daycare is than school. And the main reason for that is

because daycare, I didn't have to pack a lunch. I just got a bag from the day before. I didn't even empty it. I'd just send her off in the mornings and off she'd go. You don't send a lunch for daycare? Well, some people do, but the daycare that our kid went to, you didn't have to. They're all different. No, they didn't. Every so often I'd be like, what did you eat? She's like, crackers. I'm like, great. That's all you eat at home anyway. So I send her to school. We have to pack a lunchbox every day. The difference is like with school, there's so many specifications around what you can and you can't do. The uniform, the shoes, the lunchbox, there's just a lot of rules. and I'd kind of forgotten how many rules there are.

So overwhelming. And I'm really bad at reading instructions. I'm just kind of like a feel it out type of person. You do not need to reiterate that to me because I have worked with you for six years. So I sent Marley to school and I followed what I thought were the guidelines. Healthy food, lots of fruit, lots of vegetables. She got a little ham sandwich in there. Like a thing of broccoli.

It was literally the most healthy lunchbox. Even I looked at it and was like, oh, that's a bit crap. But I was like, great. cherry tomatoes, sorted. So she came home. You're the worst. She came home from school that day and she was like, mum, like she only ate a little bit of a lunchbox. And she was like, just everybody else had a treat, mummy. Like everyone. One girl had a chocolate bar and a cookie. And I was like, oh yeah, all right. So the next day, she's got like little compartments. So I hid like a bueno bar in her lunchbox. And I even told her that it was hidden. So she went to school and she told

all the teachers, she's like, I've got a treat hidden in my backpack. My mummy hid it for me. And she was so excited. Like it was the one thing that got her to go to school that day. She was so, so excited about the fact that she had. Now it's going to be a rough 12 years for you if you're on day one and you can't even get her to school. So she was so excited because she had a little thing and she didn't know what it was at the time.

She just knew she had a treat hidden in her backpack. So I get a text message from the school directly after recess. The message goes, hi, Laura, just letting you know that we are a nut-free school with a nut-free policy. and bueno bars, is that what they're called, are in fact Nutella and you've sent your child to school with the nuts and then they took it off her and she was in tears because she'd had her one, she had her one treat, her one.

They took it off her, it was contraband. But the reason why this sucked is because they thought I did it on purpose. They thought I hid it in the lunchbox to try and get contraband peanuts into the school. Laura's like going to give her daughter an advantage by just like keeling off everyone else with the nuts. I was like take out everyone who's got hyperalergies. But I get it, Laura.

That's actually, like, most of the time I'll be on your side. Who would have thought that Nutella has nuts in it? That's wild. Nut. Nut-ella. I was joking. Sorry, I just didn't think about it. I do.

But I think it's the number one thing you know, right? I know that and I don't have kids. You can't send anything nut to school. Look, I'm still figuring out this parenting thing along with a lot of other people, okay? I made a cardinal sin and then I felt like I had to grovel afterwards. I was like, I'm really sorry. I just want you to know that I didn't do it on purpose and I know it was hidden in there, but I was hiding it from her, not from you and it got awkward.

Well, you need to find out what all the other kids' treats are getting. Find out what is allowed and then send it with that. You can't be killing off kids. I just think about when we were at school. You could take anything. I think I lived off Mars bars and Smith's chips. Terrible. I think I got nuts when I was six months old.

Yeah, well, I mean, because you're not allergic to them. I think that's fine. No, that's how they check if you're allergic, you knob. Well, I think that these kids are six. I'm pretty sure they've tried that and they came up not good. No, no, no. Anyway. I want to talk to you guys about something really scary that happened to me and my family over the Christmas break. And the reason I want to talk about it is because I think a lot of people don't know about it, but it can affect everyone. So my sister Sherry

had a baby in August. Baby Maya. Baby Maya, yeah. So it's her first child. And she was born about six weeks preemie, so she was little. Anyway, fast forward to Christmas, I was overseas with them and she just got a bit of a cold. She's still tiny, so tiny. And also being preemie, four months is kind of, you know. It's like three months. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have that lag when you're a preemie baby. Yeah, you've got to like play catch up for the first 12 months of their life. They're like a month behind. Sherry was like, oh, she's a bit whingy, runny nose, bit of a cough. And so she took her to the doctor, well, the hospital and the hospital said, you know, no, there's not much we can do. Send her home. If it gets worse, come back. And so they did that.

Now, my sister's worked in a hospital with me for a decade. So she knows signs and symptoms. She saw that her breathing was hard again. So she took her back to the hospital. And they said, look, we're just going to monitor her in a ward. Did they know at this point what she had or? They were going to do some tests this time. So they took her in. They're like, we're going to monitor her. We'll take a blood test. Anyway, she had something called RSV, which a lot of you might know about. You might not. It's a respiratory virus. doesn't sound like much but to a baby it I mean you can die from RSV as a baby as a baby it's

really severe so they did the testing and they said oh she's got RSV so let's just keep track of her but she seems fine they walked away and the deterioration in Maya over like a really short period of time as soon as they walked away now this is only like two days she basically stopped breathing. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she went limp and gray. And thank God my sister was obviously right next to her and a hospital worker. So she started screaming for help and she started doing these sternal rubs on her chest, trying to get life back into her. So scary. She was so lucky that she was already in hospital. So lucky that she was there. Otherwise she would have been at home and had to have waited for an

ambulance. So the crash team came down and they ended up tubing her, putting oxygen in, taking her to ICU, like intensive care straight away. And there she stayed, like she had to be fed through a tube, had the oxygen. And it was only because she was in hospital at the time that the outcome is better. She's recovered now. But I think I just want to make this PSA about it because, you know, when people have a baby and they say, they set these rules, they say, hey, you cannot come near my baby unless you are vaccinated, or please don't kiss my baby on the cheek, on the face or anything. And you hear a lot of people be like, oh, have you heard such and such is so anal? People who have got new babies often set these parameters around like the

visitation rights for coming and seeing new baby. The big one is like no kissing the baby on the face or just no kissing the baby at all. And I agree with you, Britt. I've heard so many people be like, oh, it's a bit much, isn't it? But this is why. Or like feeling this sense of entitlement that they've been kept away. Yeah, but they're being kept away for this exact reason. So this virus which is like predominantly affects newborns or people that are very vulnerable like they have a weak immune system but this virus is transferred from like droplets yeah like a cold it is like a cold so if you go and kiss a baby and you have it you might not even know you have it which is the problem and they get it it can be so severe and just to really like drive this home in the first

seven days of this year 433 cases of this have been reported so in one week and this is in Australia this is yeah that's in Australia so this is it's really prevalent and really important look I mean as a parent I've got two kids I have heard of RSV I have never experienced it I don't know anyone who's ever caught it and it's kind of one of those things that feels a little bit out of sight out of mind yeah but then I also if if my child was to get it I wouldn't know what to do. Like I'm also not equipped to know like how to respond to that sort of stuff. And I know with you and your sister, like you guys have spent so much time working in hospitals. For anyone who doesn't know, Brit in a past life was a radiographer and so was her sister Sherry. But I think for the

average person and for the average parent, like these things happen and you honestly just don't know. And we had a situation with Lola when she was really little where we thought she just had very, very bad conjunctivitis. She was like one month old. And we kind of were like, God, that seems like a weird thing to take a kid to emergency for conjunctivitis. But it seemed like unusually bad. And it turned out she had oculitis and she was in hospital for five days as a newborn baby. So like, it's way better to spend a few hours in a waiting room at emergency than it is to take a risk. But really important message. Yeah. Anyway, that's my PSA for you guys. We have an exclusive from the I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here Jungle in South Africa,

the very first campmate to be announced. No one has spoken to anyone yet. God, he must have been hard to get. Somehow we got our hands on him. All the way from the South African jungle, my husband, Matty J is here. Hello, my darlings. Hello, my sweetheart.

I think there was a plural there, was there, darlings? He does love us both equally. You were included as well, Brit, because I owe you a big thank you for the help you've given me so far. Well, this is, I mean, for anyone who doesn't know, this is because Brit was in the jungle last year. So you've walked the walk. You've eaten the zebra buttholes.

Like, you know what's going down. And I remember my feeling right now, Matt, in those like couple of days before I was petrified. How are you feeling? Be honest with me. Is it that bad? Yes. Like, I feel like it's going to be like a hotel

and there's going to be room service. And when they say, and cut, then they'll come out with blankets and we'll all be in nice air-conditioned rooms. And that's what it's going to be like. Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was like, it's still TV and there's still celebrities. They're not really going to starve you out. They're not really going to make you that uncomfortable.

And I got the shock of my life. It's better that you are prepared now. You will never have been hungrier or hangrier in your life. Like, you're going to have to control your emotions. We've known for probably about a month now. And the last couple of weeks, you haven't shown a lot of emotion around it. How was it when you actually got on the plane? and now that you're in Africa,

knowing that soon your phone's going to be taken away from you, how are you feeling about everything? Look, I've always been that person who's watched someone crying on day or night one and thought, what a loser. They haven't even been away from their family for more than one night and they're crying already. And I cried when I went through security at the airport.

How are you with heights? Heights are fine. I kind of said to them, obviously you have like a lot of meetings and they ask, what are you scared of? And I said, heights aren't really the problem. It's everything else. I think the one thing that I would hate to do,

and I honestly don't know if I'd be able to do it, would be the viper pit where they put you in a coffin and they bury you in the ground with 100 snakes. I know we've made lots of jokes about it, but honestly, how do you think you're going to go being away from the girls for so long? Because you play such a big part of their every single day, so I know that they are already asking, like,

when's daddy coming home? How do you think you're going to cope without them? And me, obviously. And me. Obviously, yeah, Brit, you'll be very, like, you'll be missed every single day. Laura, oh, my gosh, this is going to be a nightmare. I think what makes it even harder is the fact that, you know,

Marley has got one of the biggest moments in her little life coming up in a couple of weeks where she starts kindy. She's going to be at school for the first time and I'm not going to be able to be there with you, Laura, holding her hand and that breaks my heart. I hate it so much. They're the moments that you will have to remember and call on when the day comes where you want to walk out.

You have to remember that you've left them for this long. You're going to stay for them. Like that's the thing that you're going to have to call back on because you need something. Well, there is one thing that I've done wrong so far. I've already made a big mistake and that was I forgot to get a photo of the family printed before I left. One job back.

He's going to miss us so much. And you talk about having something that you can call back on And I wanted to have this little photo that I would smuggle in. I'm going to sneak it in there. And it was only until the night before I left that I go to Laura. I let out a big yell and I started swearing. And I go, I've forgotten that photo. Because we don't have any printed photos in the house.

And luckily, Lola at her daycare had a Christmas decoration that was a laminated photo of the family. It was hung on our tree. So I brought that with me before I got picked up to go to the airport. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. Before anyone hears this in terms of production, Matt, I don't want to say this. You hide that well.

You pull that up your butthole. I had a photo. Please don't shelve the family. It's laminated. Shelve it. It's laminated. I took a photo of Ben in and I smuggled it in. They found it and they took it from me and I cried.

I was like, what am I going to do with this? It's a photo of my partner and they took it. So shelve that. I reckon stick it straight in your butt crack. Yeah, just straight down there like a money slot. they're going to have to pry that photo out of my tight little butthole. Matt, you did something really sweet for the girls before you left. And one of the biggest things that you were saying you're going to struggle with is being away from them

for potentially six weeks, like no phone, not able to speak to them. And you told Marley and Lola that you have this sign that you're going to do anytime that you're on the screens to just show them that you're thinking of them and show them how much you love them. So we had this family meeting and there was a discussion of like what will be that sign you know whenever i'm on camera if i can do this little sign it just means that the girls will know that i'm i'm referencing them and i think some of the ideas that were thrown out were like a tug of the ear yeah or like a scratch of the chin and i and i was thinking people are going to be wondering what the hell is wrong with me like i've got knits or something on the show so we eventually landed on a little love heart signal

so both hands over the chest and it seems like an obvious one so hopefully i can get that in there because they are so excited about my little love sign to the girls. Yeah, every time Matt FaceTimes now, they're already doing it. But the cool thing about FaceTime is that as you do a little love heart, confetti comes out and like love hearts and petals fall down. And you'll get that moment too, like when they'll do a cross, when you're all sitting there and they're saying, who's going to the challenge?

I don't know if you ever have noticed from the audience perspective, but every one of the celebrities is doing something. Like Tristan was pulling his ear last year. Someone else was scratching. You know, I think I threw up a love sign. I remember yours. Julia Morris would be talking and you'd be like, I love you, Ben.

Yeah. So that's what you can do. You're allowed to like, and they expect it, you're allowed to get two seconds to shout something. So like be prepared that when they say your name, you can quickly say something. Okay, Laura, I'm going to be yelling out sweet nothings to you during those crosses.

If you don't scream out I love you, Laura, at the top of your lungs, like, yeah, you'll have some stern words when you come home. Matt, we are all like, I mean, I'm not voting for anyone else. I think that's obvious. We are all voting for you. We're all so excited for this Sunday night when the very first episode goes to air.

We will be absolutely in your corner and rallying as many votes as possible. And yeah, just come home safe and sound. We already miss you. I'm so excited for you, Matt. I'm genuinely so excited. I can't wait to see you on the other side. The only thing I will say is try not to chew the food, just swallow.

Oh, that's what they always say, isn't it? Great advice, Britt, for everyone out there. I'm a Celebrity. Get me out of here. It premieres this Sunday, the 19th of January on Channel 10 and 10 Play. We love you. Good luck. See you, legend.

See you, Matt. Thank you so much. Britt, thanks for your help. And Laura, my darling wife, I love you so much. I can't believe you actually let me go to the jungle. You're amazing. She didn't have a choice. I love you.

I love you. I love you. Ask Uncut is something we do every single week on our podcast. what it is is you guys write in or you call up with the conundrums of the week your deepest problems we do our very heartfelt best uneducated best to give you advice i mean we're educated we're just not qualified that's two slightly different things so today we have a caller renee renee has a bit of a conundrum surrounding pregnancy so i think this one's going to be interesting to a lot of people hi renee hi girls how are you hi renee what's been happening

So I really want another baby and my husband doesn't. He's adamant no more. We have two, he's done. Yeah. I want to know, am I the a-hole if I trap him? As in like try to accidentally fall pregnant without him knowing? Yeah, but on purpose. Yes, yeah, it's an accident.

How would you do that? Renee, I think if you do it purposely, I think you're a bit of an a-hole. But what's your plan? I don't want to be soft because I've thought the same things about my own husband at times because I also, I sympathise with this, I also want a third baby and my husband Matt fluctuates between being excited about it and then being like it's an absolute no and it's off the table.

But I think you've got to both get to a place where you mutually agree on it. I don't think you can baby trap him. I think we've jumped ahead. What's the plan? How would you go about this? I don't even know if I have a plan really. I just, there's an easy way to make a baby

and I'm sure I can accomplish that. But are you on contraception, for example? No. Or like you track ovulation. So you're not – okay, so he knows you're not on contraception and he does the deed enough that you could fall pregnant. Yes. Well, that's on him then.

That's his problem. Yeah, we could take it that way definitely, but he uses – we use condoms. Okay, but that means you'd want to put a hole in it? I don't know. Can I do that without feeling guilty? No. No. No, Renee, you can't put a hole in it.

No. No, never. You've got two kids already. How old are they at the moment? Six and eight. So they're all already in school. You're well out of the diaper phase. Well out of the diaper phase.

And in terms of like your life and where you guys are at, what are his reasons for not wanting to have another baby? We just brought a house and I've just in the last few years just gone back full time. Do you feel as though financially and for all of the reasons that he gives, you would be able to have another baby or do you think it would put a lot of strain on your relationship? That's what I'm scared of. Wholeheartedly right now, I can confidently say I would put a baby in daycare after my maternity leave runs out. When it comes to the

time, am I comfortable with that? I'm not sure because I stayed home for the first three years with my kids. Do you know what the thing is here? My blunt answer is no, you cannot do that. Like you should be in a trusting relationship with two consenting partners for something like this. And at the end of the day, for you to do this is you have to lie and you have to actually literally manipulate the situation. You are putting a hole in a condom. You have to think about what that will mean if you fall pregnant.

Is there going to be this huge level of resentment that he's then going to have for the rest of your relationship? Because that'll affect you two as a family. Yeah, that is a good way to think of it. I think I'm being really selfish. it's so hard when you can't be on the same page as something like this and if you say that from a from a daycare perspective and all that sort of stuff that they could be some logistical things that the two of you need to compromise on a little bit I don't know what that looks like for your

family but maybe it's more conversations before you go down the route of trying to baby trap your husband I just think it's going to backfire I don't think it's going to end in a way that maybe you'll get a baby but maybe you won't have a husband at the end of it definitely not the sacrifice. Renee, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think there's a lot of women out there who've had those same feelings. And yeah, when you don't feel as though your family is complete, that's a really hard thing to overcome. So yeah, I'm sorry you're going through it. Thanks, girls. It's definitely one of us has to make a sacrifice and I, yeah, it's just got to be what it is, I guess. Thanks so much for that, Renee. I really feel for her. That's a really

hard decision if you guys want us to answer your ask uncut dilemma you can enter on the kiss win page you get heaps of prizes if you get on and you get the chance to get on air with us and have that kind of a discussion you did share a very unusual new year's resolution that you um that for some reason you decided to put right up there at the top of the list i don't think it's unusual but i did set the bar intentionally super low this year because i i get to the end of every year and I feel really shitty because I never do my resolutions. I think I aim too big, like I shoot for the stars. I also think that we are at a point now where it's like not cool

to have New Year's resolutions anymore. Like 10 years ago, everyone had a New Year's resolution and now I kind of feel like no one really has one. No, they still do it but they call it like a goal. Or the ins and outs. Yeah, we just change the dialogue around it. So this year I thought I'm going to make it achievable and it's probably not great but Ben, my fiancé,

brought something up when I was overseas with him on the holidays. And I'd never – I'd known it but never really clocked it, right? Cared. I was like – we'd spent three weeks together and I was sort of like packing my bags to leave and I had all my clothes on the bed and all my underwear as I was packing it up. And he made this comment where he's like,

do you – you've never – do you have an aversion to like new underwear? And I was like, what? And he's like, doesn't bother me, not against it, not worried. like, love you regardless. He's like, but you don't seem to have any undies that are less than 10 years old. This is possibly the most relatable thing you've ever said. And also, I love that you put this down. We can call it a resolution. We can call it an in, but you chose to call it a goal. This is your goal now is to have some clean new underwear. No, it's not clean. I'm not that brave. I have seen, look, I want to defend you and I want to always, I want to always build you up.

But when it comes to your undies, we've done lots of trips together. We've been away. I've seen you They're so bad. I've seen you getting changed. Your undies are so bad. They're all nude. You have the same style. I love nude. Multiple pairs of the same style.

But they're so worn. They're at that point where nude undies turn baby blue because they've been through the wash with black so many times. They're like grey. And they no longer have, they're seamless but not by choice. I think they used to have seams. Because I'm, yeah, I bought them with seams and they are now seamless. They're seamless undies.

I'm very practical. So everything is nude because I'm like, it doesn't matter what I wear then, it will go. Like no matter what, I know I've got undies. I know that they're seamless, you're not going to see them and I know that they're nude so they're going to go with everything. So I literally have like 50 pairs of old rank grungy nude underwear. I just don't understand.

I used to maybe 10 years ago, I was like, I'm going to get so much sexy lingerie for like emergencies, like emergency hookups or like just to keep it going. and now I'm like, Ben, you're not an emergency anymore. You've put a ring on it. You've locked this in. You're getting the everyday underwear. You've given up.

Well, then I felt a bit guilty. I was like, have I given up on my relationship? Like does he deserve undies that don't look like they've grown mould on them? What did you do when you very first started dating? Like did you pull out the top shelf ones back then? What happened to those? You should see the lingerie that I bought to take over for the first time that Ben and I were meeting up over in Scotland.

It was like I had the garters. I had stockings. Wow, I've never put that much effort in. That's impressive. I actually had to – our producer, Keisha, went and bought them for me. I didn't have time. She went to the lingerie shop and she sent me photos. She's like, I think this would look hot on you.

It was so funny. So she bought my lingerie, gave it to me, and I took it over to Ben. So this is why I think he's seen the downfall because I came in hot. I came in like really trying with the sexy underwear and he probably thought like bingo and now he's got 10-year-old, not hot. The problem with me is I could relate to this because I think my underwear drawer is very similar to yours. I have underwear in there that I bought because I was pre-empting a hookup pre-mat. I've now been with him for eight years and that was three years prior to meeting him.

Eleven years. Yeah, which you know what I would like to say? The staying power of Calvin Klein is really impressive because they're still good to go. I'll check what I've got on now. I actually don't know. You don't have to. Show me. Oh, yeah, show me.

Oh, you can guess. It's nude. That have been through the wash with some blacks a few times. I think it might be inside out. I don't even put them on the right way. You know it's a low point when they're not even on the right way. Have you made any progress in the New Year's goals? I haven't.

I still have not gone and gotten new undies. So give me, I don't know, one more week maybe. Please update us next week. I reckon everyone listening right now does the same thing. At what point in a relationship should you just give up on wearing nice underwear? Do you think it's like at the six-month mark? Like, when is it that you stop?

I don't know if you should ever give up completely. No, I think you can. I think yearly. Okay, I think that this is kind of, it's a bit gendered because I don't think that men have to try as hard or anywhere near as hard as what women do when it comes to underwear and lingerie. Oh, no, Ben does.

Ben's, sorry, Ben. Ben's underwear, he buys new fresh undies all the time. It's like his thing. He loves it. They're always crisp and new and clean and they're great. Matt's undies are so old that they are transparent like underneath the ball sack. Like, they are literally see-through now.

It's like way too much information. It's way for paper thin. All right. And he still wears them. Thank you. I'm planning my wedding. I'm getting married to my wonderfully beautiful, handsome, lovely fiancé, Ben, later this year.

And I put this call out on my Instagram a couple of days ago. I was like, hey, tell me what you guys regret from your wedding because I just wanted some inspo to make sure that I book in or I do everything that I want to do. I don't want to leave the wedding wishing I did something differently. It was wild. I had like 1,000 people write their regrets. on my post. And it just got me thinking of now I'm overthinking and I'm panicking and I wanted

to speak to you guys about your regrets. But overwhelmingly, the number one thing that came through was people saying they regretted the groom, which I thought was very funny. But the other thing that came through probably the most were people saying that they wish they had a videographer. Like a lot of people book photography and they don't think of the video and then time goes past and they're like oh I wish I could watch it like watch it happening and watch the moment well the problem is we booked a videographer but then the cameraman stood in front of the camera and so we got a video of his back like hour and time did you pay for that yeah so much money actually it was like the one thing that happened at our wedding which like the aftermath of that

was like the most disappointing so Matt and I had learned like a really special silly first dance he'd just come off dancing with the stars so he really wanted to like learn this dance and so we had booked this videographer and we got the first dance video sent to us and it was weird it was like close-up shots and like zooming in zooming out and like shots to like like kind of like b-roll of flowers and stuff like really pieced really pieced together and it was a super arty edit and then we asked for just like the straight shot of the first dance and it got sent to us and it was literally 15 seconds and then a figure just walks in front of the camera and then there was nothing else producer grace you got married last year not that long ago what did anything you regret so far

the day was amazing but probably the only thing i regret is in the lead-up not being stricter with the dress code because i wanted people to go full out i wanted people in gowns in everything and i just don't think i was mean enough because people rocked up wearing birkenstocks sneakers people You went to your wedding in Birkenstocks. That is, jeans? No. You put black tie on the invite and people arrived to your wedding in jeans. Yeah, and they were cool jeans.

They looked great, but it was just not what I wanted. Birkenstocks is next level though. Someone was wearing a vest over a dress. No, that could be fashion choice. No, it wasn't. I have a question for you though. When you say you wish you were more strict on the dress code, like how strict?

If they rock up and they're not wearing appropriate attire, are you sending your nana home? Nana can have the vest. All right, Nana, wear your Birkenstocks, but I'm not happy about it. But this is what happened to me, right? On my dress code already, I put no thongs. And we know how that went down. Half of Ben's European side thought they couldn't wear G-strings to the wedding.

Do not wear any underwear. I'm nude. You need to be very, very clear. We've got Ella. Ella's called up. Hi, Ella. What do you regret from your wedding? So I had a little bit of pre-wedding jitters.

And so I had a few too many mimosas. How drunk were you? Look, not drunk, but a little bit tipsy to the point where I did take a little bit of a tumble walking down the aisle, but I did take it. Oh, my God. Imagine Commando rolling down your wedding aisle. Claire's on the line.

Hi, Claire. Hi, how are you? Hi, Claire. What do you regret from your wedding or what do you wish you did differently? I don't want it to all be regrets. So my biggest regret would be spending so much time before the day worrying about the weather. Okay.

Was it an outs or ceremony? Yes. So we were supposed to be getting married on the beach and I spent literally the month beforehand, you know, the 30-day weather forecast, just watching that every day. And, of course, it's changing. One day it's raining, one day it's sunny. Had all the plans in place and on the day it just all went to pot.

My producer, Grace, is just handing me the photo from your wedding. You are understating how bad the weather was. The umbrella couldn't be more inside out. Oh, my God. Claire, you look absolutely beautiful. But yeah, you're trying to, I guess, make it to the altar. You're trying to walk down the aisle. I don't know what the...

I didn't know where I was going. Because she was in a hurricane. Even the weather plan was out. I had no idea where I was going to get married when I was walking in that spot, in that photo. I mean, and I think with weddings, you can only worry about the things that are within your control because there's no point stressing about something like the weather.

And some of the most incredible photos I have ever seen have been from weddings that have been taken on rainy days. It's like magical, magical rainy wedding photos are beautiful. But also that photo is incredible. Like that is such a different, cool photo. And I have heard that if it rains on your wedding day, it's actually good luck. Are you guys still together?

We are. Okay, great. Thank God. Britt, do you ever have those moments where you completely misread somebody else's body language or what they're trying to get across? Like just when you think to yourself, how can we be so deeply on different pages? Often. Often. I had Lola and I, my three-year-old, we went on a little one-on-one coffee date, right? We're going to spend some cute time together.

And we went into a cafe to get some baby chinos and some banana bread. And it was cute. And standing behind the counter is this guy who I know from when I was like 14, 15 years old. Like We used to do sports together and I used to have the biggest crush on this man. Like I was obsessed with him, which obviously I'm not now. I have a husband and I have kids. But it is still always that little bit startling when you see someone who's like a blast from the past.

Like still get those little butterflies. No, no butterflies. But just a bit like. No, but that feeling, that jolt where it takes you back. I'm like, oh, do I need to still impress this man? I don't know. Just like that feeling of a bit weirdness. Lola, how do I look?

So I order these. firstly I order a baby Chino and Lola's like a bit of a handful so she's like yapping away but also like yelling at me at the same time so I'm trying to keep her in line I order baby Chino's I order myself a coffee midway through the order she changes her mind wants a hot chocolate so then I'm changing the order not a big deal all fine all very manageable and I go to pay and the machine's not working and I was like oh it's not working and he was like yeah it's not working and I was like the machine's not working this exchange happened for far longer than necessary when he was just trying to give me the coffees for free and be nice like and I did not read between the lines

so anyway I walk over to the side the coffees come out and Lola's got a baby cheeto and she's got a hot chocolate because somehow the order got screwed up and now she's got a double so she's double handling two things and she goes to take a sip of the hot chocolate and she pours it straight down the front of herself so she's screaming she's burning she's not it's a brand new hot chocolate on her skin it's a baby one's no worry about it being too hot but it's she's covered in it she's crying so I grab a whole heap of um napkins and I'm trying to still have a conversation with this guy at the same time and I'm like mopping her up and we're like half having this really fragmented conversation you're still trying to flirt I was still trying to flirt with him I

was like my husband's in the jungle no it's stuffed on so I'm mopping her up and I have all of the the tissues in my hand and I'm covered in coffee and it's all over my hands and and we're still chatting away and then I go to say goodbye and I was like oh like thanks so much for the coffee. It was really nice. So nice to run into you. And he puts his hand out and I was like, oh, like a bit high fives. Cool. Weird. Weird, but I'm down. I haven't high fived another adult in ages, but I had heaps of coffee on my hand. So I kind of just gave this really weak high five. I just high five the end of his fingers. There's nothing worse than a limp handshake and a limp high five or when you don't make the, when you don't connect. It was the saddest, limpest

high five I have ever delivered and he just looked at me silent for a while and then I looked at him silent because even I was like well that was a bit awkward and he goes no I just I just want your rubbish he was gonna put the rubbish in the bin he didn't want your lips second high five and I and I high-fived him with a wet coffee head so now he had a wet head and then he just had to he just kind of like wiped it on his leg and anyway I'm never going back there then you're like does this mean my chance is gone he's like yeah I was like did I tell you my husband's in the jungle this reminds me i had to have a laugh this same thing was going viral not that long ago there was like a family that was baptizing their daughter and there was like the they're up on the stage i i don't know

how this works i don't know the name because i don't know all the technical names i'm not religious but they were baptizing the daughter and there was the bowl of the pond of water or whatever it is and then there was the priest holy water yeah and so they went to baptize and the priest went to put his hands up and i guess do like the cross or something and she mustn't have known but he was really slow and old and as he put his hand across him, she high-fived him across the – she high-fived him like across the holy pond. The holy pond.

And then he looked at her and was just like continued with his prayer and she was – and it was all on camera and she was like, oh, my God, the priest is not high-fiving me over baptising my child. Man. We walked out of that cafe and Eva Mola was like, Mum, that was lame. Okay, we'll see.

Pull it together. We'll be right back.
