The Best Of The PickUp radio show - How petty

Hey Lifers! First up today we are sharing a beautiful story that happened within our facebook discussion group community. The kindness of Julia during a time where a family felt so vulnerable is something that ought to have you smile. You can join the facebook discussion group here - Join the Facebook group! Then we are unpacking whether the OnlyFans billboard ad is 'a bit much' or whether it's all power to ya! At the very least, this has got to be one of the most successful marketing tactics we've seen because every news site (and cmmm us) are talking about it! Interested to hear your thoughts on this one. Vibes for the week!Britt- Netflix's Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling NowLaura- App 'Timetree'.  Then we unpack your questions. Is it rude to tell someone in person at the end of a first date that you aren't interested in seeing them again? Even if you know that you're not interested, should you wait until later to send a message or ghost? My husband (who I truly love) makes a weird breathy sound when he sleeps. It wakes me up. I have said that I want to sleep in the spare room and he seemed really offended. What do you think? My partner has a piece of jewellery that his ex bought for him. He still wears it. Firstly, is it silly that I care about this? Secondly, can I buy him a piece of jewellery to replace it or is that weird?

Joining us today is Dr Ali Walker. Ali is  a Human Connection Scientist with a PhD in group dynamics. She has spent a large part of her adult life wanting to understand more deeply why we seem to 'click' with certain people and 'clash' with others.It's likely you've heard of introversion and extraversion, but Ali's research goes a step further and helps us understand how we connect with certain people; it's through two frameworks she labels 'frequency' and 'intensity.' We were so interested in how this can be applied to our romantic relationships. friendships and even our workplace relationships. Do 'opposites' actually attract? Turns out no, and that would likely lead to a bad relationship. Ali unpacks exactly how alike we should be with our romantic partners! We also unpack the three different types of loneliness and how you can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely.You can get more of Dr Ali Walker's research and her new book "Click or Clash' here https://awalker.co/We also unpack the new doco by Brooke Shields called 'Pretty Baby' (on Disney plus) and the hypersexualisation of children in pop culture. Maybe things haven't changed as much as we think they should have.Join the Facebook group!

Hey lifers! Welcome to ask uncut where we unpack your dirty (and clean) dilemmas!Britt is calling it in from Scotland and Laura would like to know if there is anything you are passionate enough about to forgo the use of a bathroom. The questions we dive into today are: -When does 'public' photography cross the line of privacy?Do people have the right to be taking photos of other people without their consent to build a profile under the guise of lifestyle photography? -I've been with my partner for 1.5 years. He is very attractive, however, when it comes to sex I'm not attracted to him. The whole experience does not turn me on. It's a classic jackhammer.What's worse is that he thinks our sex is good. Everything else is great but I don't know how to speak about this with him. -I've been with my partner for 11 years. We have a 1 year old. I've been on maternity leave since our baby was born. I absolutely loved my job and was getting further in my career. I'm unable to return to work because of child care. Some days he says it's 'his responsibility to be the worker and I'm lucky to be at home with our baby.' If we were to switch, we would earn similar money but he's closed off to the idea. How do I navigate this? If you've got a question you'd like us to unpack, send it over to our DMs Join the Facebook group!

Welcome to therapy. We're here to unpack your deep, dark and burning questions.First up today, Mitch Churi and Britt didn't get married on the weekend. They've been working on a project together! We unpack a horrible new dating term/trend called chadfishing.Have you ever been chadfished before? We want to know!Today the questions we are diving into are: My best friend is about to have her first child. I am very much childfree by choice. I think she's naive in thinking that nothing will change when the baby comes. When we organise to hang out, how can I ask her not to bring the kid? I've just found out that my mum cheated on my dad years ago while they were still married. They divorced a while ago and my dad now has a new partner. I am closer with my dad than my mum. Should I tell him about my mum's affair even though it was a long time ago and they're already divorced? I was a bridesmaid at a wedding over the weekend and got pretty drunk. At the afterparty I fell into a threesome with the MC (who is the groom's brother) and his girlfriend. Somehow everyone knows. Do I need to apologise to the bride and groom? I don't regret the threesome but I do regret it happening after their wedding Can you ghost your hairdresser? I have changed hair salons but I follow my old one on instagram and she follows me. I want to post from my new salon because it's really nice and I love my new hair so I want to share it, but I'm worried I will hurt my old hair dresser's feelings.  If you have a question for ask uncut, or anything you'd like to send us, please send it over to us @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Hey Lifers, Today we kick off the episode by celebrating Laura's 37th birthday! She's got some feelings about turning 37 and they're not the feelings that you might expect. We talk about judging parents of young children for allowing them screen time and have a bit of a silly discussion about why we view women's sex toys as 'empowering' but men's sex toys as gross and creepy! Then we are joined by the wonderful Kellie Finlayson. Kellie Finlayson was 25 and had a beautiful 3 month old daughter with her partner Jeremy, when their world turned upside down.Kellie was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.After spending a large part of her daughter's life in hospital and a horrific experience with chemo, Kellie beat her cancer. But then months later Kellie found out that her cancer had spread to her lungs. Kellie is now on a mission to spread awareness of bowel cancer, especially in young people. You can follow her journey here: https://www.instagram.com/kelliefinlayson_/ If you loved the episode, please share it with someone you care about, particularly if they've been dismissing a health concern that they've got.

Welcome to Ask Uncut, where we answer all of your deep, dark and dirty questions.First up today, we'd love to know, if you are single or if you were single, would you be open to wearing a particular ring to indicate that you were single and open to being approached IRL?We've got mixed feelings and wonder whether it may become as mainstream as online dating. Question 1: When I was on a night out with a friend, I met a guy. His friend invited my friend and I back to his apartment. Our physical intimacy progressed throughout the night and we got very close, only I didn’t sleep with him because of a weird gut feeling that something was off. I gave him my number and we said we couldn’t wait to go on a date to spend some time together. The next day, I found his Instagram. His tagged posts have a wedding video of him and his beautiful wife. I clicked on her profile and it shows they’re still married. I feel disgusted with him and myself. My question is, do you think the wife has a right to know and should I be the one to tell her?  Question 2: I'm 26 and have been with my boyfriend for 2 years.  I've decided I want to move to Australia for 1 year. He has said that he would be keen to come with me. He's great, kind etc, but I'm not sure he is the one! Should I allow him to move to the other side of the world with me if I'm not 100% sure about him or should I break it off for a fresh start even though I'm not sure if I want to break up? Question 3: If your partner has 'made' the decision that it is time to go to sleep, e.g. lights off, phones down, do both of you have to put the devices down, turn the lights off and go to sleep? If you have a question, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
