We all remember the Netflix hit Adolescence. Jack Thorn, the writer of Adolescence is adapting the incredible story of Suzanne Heywood into a new 4 part series. Suzanne is an author, a business leader, and child survivor of an extraordinary and scary life at sea. Suzanne spent nearly a decade (ages 7 to 17) living on board her parents’ boat Wavewalker, following her father’s dream of recreating Captain Cook’s third voyage. But, what was meant to be a three year family adventure actually became a childhood of captivity. Suzanne was isolated, unable to receive a proper education and at one point she spent weeks with a fractured skull that required multiple operations without anaesthesia on a tiny remote island. Suzanne survived shipwrecks, emotional neglect from her parents, and eventually battled her way to Oxford and a career at Cambridge. Today we talk about: Suzanne’s childhood in captivity on the boat How life at sea felt like a cult The neglect and ‘jealousy’ of her mother Having multiple surgeries for her fractured skull on a remote island without anaesthesia Suzanne’s determination to get an education Being abandoned at 16 in New Zealand without a visa and their attempts to deport her Her relationship with her parents now No authorities intervening and why we should question these situations when kids are involved You can get a copy of Wavewalker from Suzanne’s website You can find Suzanne on Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Hey Lifers! Britt would like to thank all of the blocked … duct girlies who reached out in solidarity. She’s also realised that ride share drivers can now upload profiles about themselves where they may or may not tell you that they’re saving all of the animals. The halo effect is back! Laura’s 2 weeks away from giving birth and Britt is still really trying to claim her place as the stretch and sweeper/birth partner. Lola has been testing the boundaries and made a very expensive mistake in Laura’s house! Britt’s fringe is back much to Ben’s disliking. She’s convinced that women like fringes but men don’t. We’ll take it to a poll! Can Hollywood Stop Selling Us Showmances? Everyone has been speaking about the ‘are they or aren’t they’ Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson relationship after co-starring in The Naked Gun and whether it’s a real romance or a showmance. We know that chemistry off-screen helps sell chemistry on-screen but are we exhausted from these ‘fauxmances’ being almost a check box of a publicity tour? We also ask if publicists create love stories because we demand them and whether we are more or less into the movie if the actors appear to be in a relationship?

Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep and burning questions! Britt is living in regret of mocking one of Keeshia’s recommendations (once again) after having a run in with a huge, very rusty nail! Vibes for the week:Keeshia - Thursday Murder Club on Netflix Laura - Unknown Number The High School Catfish on Netflix Britt - Mermade M Ionic Hair Dryer Then we jump into your questions! DO I ORGANISE FATHER DAY GIFT FOR HUSBAND IF HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING FOR MOTHERS DAY?Should I get my husband a Father’s Day present or organise a day for him if he didn’t bother getting me a Mother’s Day present or planning anything? I had to really show how upset I was for him to eventually (weeks later) buy me new PJs that I had already asked for. He barely made an effort to do anything; we went for a walk to get a coffee at the cafe, no planned brunch or anything. I was furious. I ended up doing the groceries with my toddler by myself and she had the biggest meltdown in Coles. I was so embarrassed and upset. My daughter is 2.5 (too young to know what Mother’s Day is), and I’ve been pregnant with our 2nd. He didn’t even tell our daughter to wish me a happy Mother’s Day!! I’ve told him that the bare minimum I expect is that our children know that it’s Mother’s Day, that I get a present and that something is planned. I don’t want to stoop to his level and not make an effort as I hope that leading by example will make him make an effort. But I’m fucking angry. SELFISH FRIEND STRUGGLES TO BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS, BUT HAS HAD A TOUGH TIMEMy best friend is also my colleague. She’s had a really rough 18 months — a divorce just 6 months into her marriage and then a miscarriage. Since then, she struggles to be happy for others. She refuses to contribute to colleagues’ wedding or baby gifts and when another colleague tried to organise a present for our pregnant boss, she told her, ‘I’m not paying you money, you can all f* off.’ She also makes comments like, ‘I wish I got treated like that,’ “I’m Not contributing to that after what I’ve been through!” when others are celebrated. The thing is, when she went through her divorce, miscarriage and birthday we all supported her with meals, presents, and care packages. But she’s never once gotten me anything — not for my birthdays or even when my Nan passed away. I’m finding her selfishness and expectations really hard to handle. How do I deal with this as her best friend without being cruel about what she’s been through?” FRIEND WANTS A SECOND BABY SHOWER JUST TO GET GIFTS- BUT I GAVE FOR THE FIRST BABY!One of my girlfriends within our friendship group announced she is pregnant with another child. The age gap between her youngest will be 6 years and was the first of our group to be married and having babies young. Whereas the rest of us are now having our first baby. She has advised she’d like someone to throw her a baby shower given the years gone and no longer having any baby items. We all contributed to the first baby shower. A few of us have expressed that it’s the first child you have a baby shower and the rest you can celebrate as a baby sprinkle without expectations of any gifts or restock of items they originally had been given from the first child. She has expressed it is a shower she wants and not just a celebration. Is it bad for me to not want to attend knowing it’s purely based on wanting gifts and having a strong expectation from guests? ARE WE GIVING BLOWJOBS?Ok girls, blow jobs…. Are we giving them? My partner and I have been in a relationship for 8 years now. A common issue that often arises is around aligning with what we want sexually. I have quite a low libido and could quite happily go months without sex. He has quite a high libido and would love to have sex every couple of days. We have compromised on once every 1-2 weeks. That is working for us, apart from when I am on my period. My partner expects that I should give him blow jobs in the week of my period. It is something he really enjoys (says every man ever). However, I do not find it enjoyable. Instead, I find it quite uncomfortable, and it feels like a chore to me. I have told him that I do not like doing it, and this is a constant issue that comes up. Every time he asks for a blow job, I am conflicted between not wanting to cause conflict and not wanting to do it because I do not enjoy it.We have had a big discussion about this, and we are going to try to incorporate other things into our sex life to meet his sexual desires without blow jobs. My question is, is this a common issue that couples face? I feel like no one really talks about it, but surely it is! Are people giving their partners blow jobs? And if so, do they enjoy it, or do they find it a chore but do it because their partner enjoys it? (Can we poll this) xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey lifers! We all have a lot going on at the moment. Laura has some new veins but definitely hasn’t had lip filler. The comedian who spoke about her avatar/smurf labia walked so Laura could run! Britt’s sense of smell is out of order; but it might be for the best after this particular experience with Delilah. We had a lifer reach out after listening to an old episode where Britt said that she wanted to birth Laura’s 3rd baby if she ever had one. Now it’s got us thinking about whether Britt should be in the room and cut the umbilical cord. It’s a great photo op! Lola has come across something that she absolutely shouldn’t have and it’s given Matt and Laura quite a surprise. Keeshia has adopted a new dog named Bonnie from the same place that Buster came from Maggies rescue! She had a rough start to her life but things are looking a lot better with her new best friend Delilah. Britt is about to go through another round of pre skin cancer treatment. Her face will be undergoing a type of chemo cream treatment. We have a chat about our sun habits and how each of us have had brushes with skin cancer.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep, burning questions!There’s a new dating term called ‘shrekking’ and we feel as though it’s mean but it also has us questioning if we have ever been shrekked! Vibes this week:Britt - Hostage on Netflix Laura - Tom organic maternity pads Keeshia - 70s Easy Listening Mix on spotify Then we jump into your questions! SON NO LONGER CELEBRATES MOTHERS DAY WITH ME ON THE DAY BECAUSE OF HIS WIFEI have been a mother for 35 years and we have always celebrated Mother’s Day on the Sunday that mother’s day is … but now my daughter in law has hijacked it and now I have to meet my son and other kids on the Saturday before , because now Mothers Day is all about her. I have put up with it and haven’t said anything to my son , because I don’t want to put him in a bad position, but I’m really hurt by it. I think it’s really selfish that she doesn’t see how the situation would make me feel. We should be celebrating the day all together. Do I speak to them about it or just let it go? NEW BF LET ANOTHER GIRL SLEEP IN HIS BED FOR 3 WEEKSI was recently dating a guy (in the very early days, 6-8 dates in) & he had a German nanny/au pair staying with him & his mates for 3 weeks to help a friend out. He has 3 female housemates, and this German girl could have stayed in any of their 3 beds, or on their massive 5 seater lounge, but instead, he let her share his Queen bed with him for the 3 weeks. He claimed it was ‘purely platonic’ and that I had nothing to worry about. I found this quite odd though, and it made me question his intentions (with both of us). When I went over to his place on our 5th or so date, he had to text her asking her not to come into his (/her) room while I was there. All of her stuff was in his ensuite & on his bedside table. I made a ‘joke’ about how weird it was. He got defensive & accused me of being insecure, saying ‘this isn’t going to work if you get jealous every time I talk to another girl.’ He also insisted that this was a normal thing to do, to allow someone to share your bed without having sex with them. I don’t think it is, but I felt almost gaslit when I questioned him. What are your thoughts? I know we were not technically in an exclusive relationship yet, but we’d established from the get go that neither of us were casual daters & that we were dating for a life partner. DOES MY FRIEND WANT TO BE ME/ALWAYS COPYING MESo I have a situation where one of my good friends keeps copying everything that I do. At first it was cute and I tried to see it as a little bit of flattery but now it’s getting to the point where it’s incredibly irritating. It started off with small things like she started doing reformer Pilates because I was doing it, she then started with the exact same nutrition coach that I am using, she purchased a Stanley cup because I have one, she joined the exact same gym that I go to even though there are multiple closer to her, she got Botox in her jaw the same day that I told her I was getting mine done and more recently has planned a trip to New Zealand three days after me telling her I was going to New Zealand. At what point is this just fucking weird and how do I stop myself from losing my shit every time I find out she’s done something identical to me? For context this is just a few examples there are way way more.
