Life Uncut

Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! If you missed last Wednesday's episode, yes, it's true, and yes we're still crying about it. This is Keeshia’s last ask uncut and vibe so she is doing a bit of a 5 in 1 recommendation.
Vibes and unsubscribes this week:

Then we get into your questions!
HE'S KEEPING A SCORED LOG OF OUR SEX LIFE
I recently found out my partner keeps a log of our sex life - dates, locations, what we did, and a rating out of ten. He's also noted that he's not satisfied and that it's "too vanilla." Is this normal behaviour for a man in his 40s?
HE TOLD ME MY KISSING STYLE ISN'T FOR HIM
We've just started being intimate and he kindly let me know my kissing style isn't up his alley - apparently I move my jaw too much. I've only ever kissed one way. How do you actually kiss "differently"?
MY BOYFRIEND'S CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ARE MAKING ME QUESTION EVERYTHING
I'm a 28-year-old woman of colour who's found someone chivalrous, funny and affectionate except he doesn't believe in transpeople, is against workplace inclusivity, and thinks a woman's body count shouldn't exceed his. I lied about mine. Is this a dealbreaker?
CAN I PULL OUT OF BEING A BRIDESMAID A MONTH OUT?
My friend of 20 years is getting married in four weeks and I'm a bridesmaid, but I can't stand her fiancé and I'm starting to worry he might be controlling behind closed doors. Can I bail?

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!
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.

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!
