Life Uncut

Hey Lifers!
We kick off this week with Britt calling in from Italy (hungover, again 👀) and why it took us YEARS to stop performing on camera and actually just be ourselves with our naturally low voices.
Laura had a suspicious parcel arrive at her front door. It was full of syringes, tiny vials, and one very tanned man who came to collect it. We speak about the world of Melanotan, carrot maxing, and the very real question of whether eating 20 carrots a day will make you glow.
The roommate phase
Is your relationship resting or rotting? There's a big difference, and we break it all down from the red flags that say you're rotting to why the roommate phase is actually really common, and sometimes even kind of… nice? We chat about the trenches of parenthood, feeling a little flat in your relationship and finding novelty. Keeshia opens up about where she's at in her relationship and why she's genuinely embracing the rest.
We wrap up with sucks and sweets; Britt is a year into marriage and almost forgot her anniversary, Laura's baby Poppy is pulling herself up on everything and immediately face-planting, and Laura's heading to India with her sister.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!
Vibes of the week:
Britt - Imperfect Women on Apple TV+
Laura - Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart on Netflix
Keeshia - Kylie on Netflix

Then it's into your questions!
Q1: MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN USING MY TOOTHBRUSH. REGULARLY.
Six months in, she catches her boyfriend putting her toothbrush back in the holder. He casually says, "I thought we were at that stage." She was so shocked she didn't react. Now she has the biggest ick of her life and doesn't know how to bring it up.
Q2: OUR FRIENDS COPIED OUR ENTIRE RENOVATION
After years of work, late nights, and an enormous amount of emotional labour, her renovation is done and she loves it. Then her friends started their reno, asked a lot of very specific questions — and have now copied the whole thing. Right down to the tiles, stones and room colours. Her husband doesn't see the issue. She does.
Q3: I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE SECRETLY RICH AND HIDING IT FROM ME
Eight months in, she loves him and can see a future with him. But he's weirdly intense about splitting everything to the dollar and she's accidentally seen investment account balances, a large transfer, and a land tax invoice on his kitchen bench. He's never mentioned any of it.
Q4: FIANCE BROKE OFF ENGAGEMENT AFTER ‘FALLING OUT OF LOVE’
They'd been together four years, engaged for one. Both mid-20s. This was her first relationship and therefore her first heartbreak. He told her he'd been dealing with doubts internally for months before finally saying he'd fallen out of love and ending the engagement. She moved back home to her mum's. They've had three weeks of no contact and it's killing her. She still loves him and wants to know: can people fall back in love?

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to your weekend treat.
The nom nom nom discourse is real, it is divisive, and the feedback has been received. Laura is personally victimised. We will poll you.
Then we get into it:
Taylor Swift is getting married and there’s plus one drama. We ask if wedding guests have a right to feel hurt when their partner doesn't make the cut?
A woman on TikTok cried on camera because 39 children took over the pool and hot tub at her hotel; a hotel she specifically chose for the pool and hot tub.
You can hire a woman for $500 to turn up to your funeral. It’s petty, but it’s also impactful.
The Enhanced Games just wrapped up in Las Vegas. We speak about legal doping, $1 million prize pools, and Aussie Olympic swimmer James Magnussen throwing himself back in a decade after his Olympic career ended. Did anyone break any records? Is the IOC being petty? Should the Olympics just pay their athletes more? We get into all of it.

Ellie first rose to prominence in the modelling world and has since built an international career, appearing in major campaigns like superbowl commercials and has transitioned into acting.

Hey Lifers!
We come to you today after 2.5 hours of technical chaos. Britt nearly got deported from Italy. With ten days until she legally had to leave the country, Ben revealed he had not, in fact, sorted the visa that he was meant to.
Laura's baby Poppy had what we are calling an incident involving the family dog Buster and sensory play. Buster was mortified. Poppy was unbothered.
There's also a Slimy Rock Johnson update. The garden snail that Marlie Mae brought home five weeks ago, that half of you were very invested in, has been ceremonially released to the garden after Laura quietly became the only one caring for him.
Then the story that has been living rent-free in our heads for two weeks. Katie Price, UK glamour model, national treasure of chaos, recently married a man named Lee Andrews after knowing him for approximately two days. Lee lives in Dubai. Lee is allegedly a billionaire. Lee has photos with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian that are so obviously photoshopped you will need to sit down.

Multiple women have come forward saying Lee is a serial romance scammer who took significant amounts of money. A Texan nurse lost over £123,000. His previous fiancée is apparently wearing the same ring Katie now has. Lee was supposed to fly to the UK to appear live on Good Morning Britain to prove he could leave the country and instead called Katie from the airport to say he was being bundled into a white van and cable-tied. He has been "kidnapped" ever since.

We unpack the whole unhinged saga including Katie’s particularly interesting timing to be doing CBD gummy ads. We speak about tactics that romance scammers use like ‘future faking’ and the ‘double trauma’ that victims of romance scams experience. Britt also has some personal experience with why people might not listen when someone tries to warn you.
You can listen to our chat with Cecilie and Pernilla from the Tinder Swindler here
