The Best Of The Pick Up - MAFS relationship expert John Aiken on why they do that photo ranker challenge

Get the kleenexes ready because it’s the finale and the very last episode of Bach Uncut for 2023! Three strapping young men who have spent the last few weeks working their way through a truckload of women (mainly Felix) are left with Lauren, Leah, Abigail, Jess, Alésia and Angela - $50 to anyone who can put a face to each of their names. We don’t want to give away the result but there’s two proposals (only one is successful) the beloved Damien decides to make a return for one last visit - we hope he’s being paid by Channel 10 for this. It’s been an absolute blast recording these eps for you. If you’ve enjoyed listening to our dribble, we’d love it if you left a review! We now return to your usual Life Uncut programming..See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jess's boyfriend Damian is using mind control and well, that's about it - we are steaming into Finale!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's bonus episode is about Jan 26. Currently a public holiday recognised as 'Australia Day.' But Invasion Day is a day of mourning for First Nations people and many other Australians.  Joining us is proud Wiradjuri woman Taylah Gray who is currently completing her PhD on native title and sovereignty. In this episode we unpack what Taylah's childhood looked like with a particular insight into her education and how she became a lawyer and started her doctorate.  Taylah articulates the complexities of 'celebrating' what it is to be Australian and how the date represents a long history of genocide and disposition for First Nations people. Tay also suggests ways in which we can be true allies and  show support. Something that was particularly nuanced for us was the conversation surrounding the pressure that First Nations people can feel when they're expected to be the mouthpiece for every political issue in this country; the assumption of being educated about every legal issue affecting Black people.  To show our gratitude for Taylah's knowledge and time, Life Uncut has donated $1000 to the Aboriginal Legal Service. You can check them out here: https://www.alsnswact.org.au/ If you'd like to follow Taylah on instagram you can find her here: https://www.instagram.com/taylah_gray_/?hl=en Always was, always will be Aboriginal landSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers, We've all got a bit of bach whiplash at the moment because they sprung 4 episodes on us this week and look, we were meant to be enjoying a holiday! So it might be a day late, but alas, your recap of episode 7 is here! This episode kicks off with Matt's latest hobby... and yes questions over whether mid-thirties dads need hobbies have been raised. We digress. This episode has a lot of steamy, horny 'playtime' (Felix's words, not ours). There's a lot of jealousy. There are a lot of snogs. There's possibly TOO much honesty from one of the bachelors. Strap on in for the chaotic recap of episode 7!   If you loved this episode we would love it if you would take 30 seconds to leave a review, or go and follow @lifeuncutpodcast for more of the action.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bust out the gins, and enough cucumber to make a salad! Channel 10 have done the dirty and dropped 4 episodes this week. F O U R!!There aren't enough cucumbers in the world to get us through this. Now Laura and Matty J had a holiday planned and so this episode unpacks episodes 4, 5 and 6! Episode 7 and all of its glory will be dropped in a bonus episode later this week. So, where to begin? Well, there's eye waxing, wet and wild women, drum sticks, a mass walk out, Matt cries, and Laura forgets she is recapping the bachelor and tells us all how she was hit on in the sauna the other day. The rest of the episodes can be summarised in one word; polyamory.Polyamory, polyamory, polyamory. Strap on in for the chaotic retelling of eps 4,5 & 6 If you loved this episode we would love it if you would take 30 seconds to leave a review, or go and follow @lifeuncutpodcast for more of the action. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Holy hell we’re BACKKKKK.. Can you bloody believe it? Well, we can’t either. Lot’s has changed with the Bachelor - there’s three men looking for love. Please meet **drum roll please** Felix, Jed and Thomas! Also, at the end of last season Osher sold all the old decorations on Facebook Marketplace and moved to the Goldy. This means Bach is in a new city, there’s no red carpet or fairy lights and new roses. Oh, and the guys have to propose at the finale (we think, we’re still working it all out). The show kicks off with Bachies selecting women (via rose offerings) on speed dates all around the country. Some tell the pipsqueaks to beat it (sorry Jed), some play tonsil hockey (hello Felix) and some cry (bless you Thomas). The rose holders all pack up their bags and travel to the Gold Coast to move in with Osher. Then it’s time for the first cocktail party (ep 2) which is just Felix eating Tilly’s face. We then have a group date/pool party, which is just Felix eating Naomi’s face. You may have noticed there’s a recurring theme here. Then we say goodbye to three randoms at a rose ceremony! If you’re still reading this, 10 points to you. We’re up to ep 3 and Tash drops the news that Jess (dating Felix) is polyamorous and has a boyf on the outside. Felix flips out and decides to head home and sulk as Jed takes Tash on a date as Thomas heads off with Leah. Then there’s a group date at Dreamworld (nothing happens). However at the rose ceremony, the woman have a wild brawl because of how Tash behaved. It all kicks off and I think it’s official, Tash is the villain of the season. Thoughts and prayers with the woman who left at the rose ceremony - Abby, Emma and Palen or Kalen or Falen..
