Life Uncut

Hey lifers!
Our guest Ask Uncut is back with a special guest to help unpack your deep and burning questions! It’s Urzila Carlson, comedian, actor and certified petty queen, back for her THIRD time on the pod!
You can listen/watch her other episodes here:
A Tracksuit Pants & A Puffer Jacket Movie Star - Uncut with Urzila Carlson
GAGS, GUNS AND GRENADES - Uncut with Urzila Carlson
We kick things off with Urzila's pettiest hill to die on: an airport baggage carousel showdown that turns into a full-blown "if you're going to be an asshole, I'm going to out-asshole you" saga, plus the diamond engagement ring she flatly refuses to give back to her cheating ex.
Then we get into it cheating in queer relationships, dating (or very much not dating) after divorce, and protecting her kids from the revolving door of new partners.
Then we jump into your questions!
MY DAD IS DATING THREE WOMEN AND WE FOUND OUT HE'S SEEING HIS EX TOO
My parents got divorced five years ago and my dad has been dating ever since. He's currently seeing three different women (none of whom are officially his "girlfriend"), and my sisters and I just found out via his iPad that he's also back with his ex. He lies to us about seeing her because he knows we don't like her. Do we say something, or is this none of our business?
MY NEIGHBOUR GOT FINED $800 FOR HER BARKING DOG AND IT WAS MY FAULT
I complained to the council about my neighbour's dog barking all day and night. I didn't expect them to actually act on it. She's now been fined $800 and I've heard she's not in a great financial position. The dog has finally stopped barking, but I feel like a monster. Do I come clean, or try to anonymously help her pay it off?
I LIED AND SAID I WAS A MORNING PERSON TO IMPRESS MY BOYFRIEND
Eighteen months ago, early in our relationship, I told my boyfriend I was a morning person because he loves sunrise walks and coffee dates. I am not a morning person. We've now moved in together, my alarm goes off at 5:45am every day, and I hate my life. Do I finally tell him the truth?
I'M EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND MY PARTNER IS WORRIED HE WON'T GET ENOUGH OF MY TIME
My partner has mentioned a few times that he's concerned I won't have enough time or love for him once the baby arrives. It's made me feel like I'm mothering him instead of building a family with him. Am I being hormonal, or is this a red flag?
We also get the full, chaotic story behind the name of Urzila's new show Fatty On A Yacht, including the time she showed up to what she thought was a mate's dad's tinny for a fishing trip... and it was actually a super yacht party, complete with a Bluey life jacket and a life jacket she later bought secondhand and power-washed herself.

This week we sit down with Alexa Leary; two-time Paralympic gold medallist, world record holder, and author of Sink or Swim. You might know her as Lex. You definitely know that viral clip of her dancing in Paris. In 2021, Lex was 19 and training to be a professional triathlete when a cycling accident left her with one of the most severe traumatic brain injuries Royal Brisbane Hospital had ever seen. She wasn't supposed to survive. She had seven brain operations. Doctors told her family twice to come and say goodbye. Three years later, she broke the world record in Paris.
Lex talks about what life with a TBI actually looks like day to day: the four years of memory wiped, waking up not knowing where she is, the boyfriend she couldn't remember, and the really dark period she's written about in her book for the first time. She is funny, warm, completely unfiltered, and has a really unique perspective on her second life.
We chat:
The accident and the miracle chain of events that saved her
Four to five years of memory wiped - including her relationship, her best friend, and a tattoo she has no memory of getting
What a traumatic brain injury actually looks like from the inside & the stuff nobody sees
The really low period in the middle of it all, and what she wants anyone in that place to know
How swimming went from rehab to two gold medals and a world record in Paris
The quantum healer who predicted her medal haul from the ICU and was right
Her new book and the chapter she never thought she’d share

Hey Lifers! We are finally all back in one room after weeks of holiday mode, sinus infections and very aggressive Do Not Disturb settings, and there is a LOT to get through.
First up, Laura's just landed back from Bali with a toddler who went down like a sack of gastro, and we catch up on everything we’ve missed while everyone was mixing and matching holidays. Then it's time to address the elephant in the pants: the Facebook discussion group came for Britt after last week's offcuts episode, and she is here to defend her holiday underwear rotation once and for all.
Then we sit down for a very emotional conversation. A huge change is coming for the Life Uncut team, and there isn't a dry eye in the room.
After that we unpack whether being called "lovely" or "hun" by customer service is actually patronising, or are we all just a bit too sensitive? And then, the story the whole internet is talking about. A husband wins a luxury YSL hamper at a work lunch, gives it straight to a female coworker in front of everyone, and now the internet has crowned it "the betrayal of consideration." We unpack why this one viral post has struck such a nerve with women everywhere!

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!
It's Britt and Keeshia today while Laura enjoys the tail end of her time off. She'll be back in the hot seat on Wednesday!
But first, Keesh has an Ask Uncut of her own: you're at a party, there's one designated party toilet, and the person before you has left some very unfortunate evidence behind. Do you clean a stranger's skid marks, or walk out and let 40 strangers assume it was you?

Vibes of the week:
Britt - Lost in the Jungle on Disney+
Keeshia - The Basic Band
Then it's into your questions!
Q1: MY FRIEND BAILED ON OUR BALI TRIP AND EXPECTS THE GROUP TO COVER HER SHARE
A group of us girls organised a trip to Bali and we've all paid for flights and accommodation, split evenly. A few nights ago one of the girls messaged me privately saying she now has uni exams and can no longer come, and asked if it would be easier for everyone to just transfer her for her part. I told her I didn't think it was fair to expect the group to pay more to cover her costs, but that I couldn't speak for everyone. So she put it in the group chat... and nobody replied. Now she's acting cold and standoffish with me at work. Surely it's an unspoken rule that if you pull out for your own reasons, the group doesn't have to cover you? Am I the asshole?
Q2: CAN A WORK FLIRTATION EVER BE HARMLESS?
My husband and I have three kids together, but the romantic relationship is non-existent. I've suggested therapy and he refuses, so we're at a standstill: no intimacy, a lot of resentment, and I'm not sure it's even salvageable. Separating is an option, but I don't want to only see my kids 50% of the time. He's a good dad, just a shitty husband, so I feel really stuck. I've recently gone back to work and a coworker is laying it on thick. He's made it very clear he's interested, and for the first time in years I'm enjoying the attention... and feeling like a horrible person for it. Can you engage in a work flirtation and it be harmless, or is it just a bad idea altogether?
Q3: I FOUND 100 PRINTED NUDES OF MY BOYFRIEND'S EX
I recently moved in with my boyfriend of eight months. He was away for work the other night and I found a box containing about 100 printed nude photos of his ex-girlfriend... who he has an AVO out against. When I asked him about it, he swore black and blue that he didn't know he still had them. I personally find it hard to believe he magically forgot about a stack of photos that were very easily accessible. Any advice would be appreciated!
Q4: SHOULD WE TELL OUR 14-YEAR-OLD WE'RE SECRETLY INVESTING HIS BOARD MONEY?
My 14-year-old has just gotten his first job, and I've told him he'll need to pay 30% board from his take-home pay each fortnight. My wife is on board. Where we disagree: I want him to pay the money and assume it's gone, just like rent in the real world. My wife wants to tell him we're actually investing it all for him, to be handed back at 25 as a deposit for a house or unit. I'm worried that telling him would stop him from developing his own saving and investing habits. We'd love to know your thoughts!

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend snacky snack!
Laura's away, so Britt and Keeshia are holding down the fort and Britt has arrived dressed like Daphne crossed with Velma (sexy Scooby-Doo, knee-high stiletto boots). We get into the cost of being a short girl, the floor-drobe method of outfit planning, the sniff test, and a heated debate about exactly how many wears you can get out of a pair of undies.

Then we get into it:
That Ryanair flight where a window blew out mid-flight and a man was sucked halfway out of the plane while his wife held onto his ankles.

Heated Rivalry's breakout star Hudson Williams was stalked through the streets of Paris to his private residence and his attempt to dramatically burn the stalkers' photos has gone viral. But why did the internet cheer him on when Chappell Roan was torn to shreds for doing far less in the same city?

Kylie Jenner has fronted the new "Kylie Edition" Meta glasses; a discreet camera on your face with Kylie's voice as the AI. We get into the fascinating history of the Kodak Girl, how tech has been using women to make surveillance feel safe and desirable for 140 years, and why we think this collab is a genuine betrayal.

The world's first Body Count Reset Centre has reportedly opened in Brazil. It’s a $1,000 spiritual cleanse to erase your past. Or, hear us out... you could just lie for free?

And finally, Belgian star Jeremy Doku left the World Cup to be at the birth of his child. A French presenter called him a "completely useless" dad for it. With one of Ben's own teammates facing the exact same choice, Britt asked Ben the question directly: would you leave the World Cup for me?
