Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your dilemmas and give our enthusiastic advice!
Laura may or may not have had her baby so we recorded this one just a bit in advance in case she goes into labour! It might be pretty clear because we are all a bit loopy today!
If you’ve/your partner has been pregnant, did you keep having s3x all the way to the birth? If not, when did you stop?

Vibes and unsubscribes for the week:

Britt - World of Secrets. The Abercrombie Guys Podcast 

Laura - Unsubscribing impulse purchasing of silicon lymphatic massager

Keeshia - Kate Bowler Substack Feeling tired? Try giving up your “purpose.”  

Then we jump into your questions!

WILL SEX BE BORING BECAUSE I USE MY VIBE SO MUCH?
My last relationship (which was also my first) lasted for 2 years and didn’t end badly at all. During that time I never finished which was a bit annoying but we were both young and at the time I had never experienced an orgasm so didn’t even know if I could. Fast forward to now, I am currently single, and my vibrator has since proved to me that my body is most definitely capable of it! But I’m a bit worried that using my vibrator so frequently (I’d say 3-5 times a week) is going to make sex in the future kinda boring/I’ll get lazy/won’t be able to finish during sex without it if I get so used to using it? I guess my question is, do I need to stop relying on it and find other ways so I don’t become reliant on it and lazy during sex in the future?

 

FOUND AI PORN ON NEPHEWS COMPUTER - TELL HIS FOLKS?
While providing tech support to my 12 year old nephew, I have found out that he has been accessing porn websites including AI porn games and an AI girlfriend generator website. I am unsure what to do (if anything at all). I acknowledge the raging hormones and curiosity in pre-teens, but want to make sure he is not accessing content that encourages misogyny. I have no children of my own and I don’t know how best to deal with this. Should I talk to his parents or let sleeping dogs lie? I don’t feel comfortable talking to him directly as it may embarrass him.

 

BF GETS TURNED ON BY CRYING SO NOW I CAN’T GET EMOTIONAL OR CRY!
My boyfriend and I were discussing our turn ons one day in our early days. He told me how when his partners cry it gets him a little aroused. He says he can be empathetic and he NEVER has or NEVER will act on it. I am someone who likes to discuss my mental health struggles with my partner, cry, chat about it and move forward but I find myself now unable to cry in front of him which is now leading to an issue because I’m bottling things up when around him. Any help or suggestions would be great because he’s incredible and my penguin, someone I’ve gone through a crappy marriage and many toxic relationships to find and I am not viewing this as something that will break the relationship I just don’t know how to move past this so I can let the floodgates open up and move on before it seriously affects me. Help pretty please!

IS MY MOTHER IN LAW POISONING ME?
I’ve been with my partner for 3 years and he has been nothing short of amazing! He’s taught me the real definition of love and could see him as my life long person. The one thing I really struggle with is his mother in law who can be very opinionated and I’m slightly convinced has it out for me. I was recently sick with a cold and couldn’t seem to shake it off so she mailed me through some “vitamins” along with a list of when to take them and how many each day. I took them without hesitation and after about 4 days of taking them I was at work with horrible stomach cramps and was vomiting. Turns out the vitamins she had given me were actually medication that doctors use to treat scabies and ringworms and she was giving me 4 times the dosage of what doctors prescribe to people with these things. The doctor said I was very lucky to have only been vomiting as it could have been a lot worse. Once she found out how sick I was she kept trying to contact me to discuss my symptoms but I kept declining as I was extremely upset about everything. My partner told me I should ring her and apologise for ignoring her to keep the peace. Am I in the wrong for not wanting to keep the peace with my MIL after something like this? And is it worth being with my partner when I can’t stand his mother? PS my MIL isn’t a doctor and I have no idea where she got these medications from in the first place.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and
welcome back to another episode of Life. I'm cut, I'm Laura,
I'm Bretnany, and this is asking cut where we answer
you're deep? Can you burn me? Questions?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey, huge news, huge news.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Laura is here. But is she really who? Da da
da da da da da da da. We don't know yet.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I don't know do you have two kids or three?
We can't be sure what is happening in this moment
in time.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So the reason why we say this is because technically
this episode has been pre recorded a little bit in advance,
just in case, because this week is when I'm supposed
to be having a baby. I am booked in for
an induction. It is happening, or it may have already happened.
We don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, yeah, who knows if you've gone early. I just
keep thinking my sister went five weeks early. So you
just don't know. So we're like, we better get ahead
of this just in case the little slippery sucker wants
to slip right out.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
To be fair, for the last five weeks, I've been
feeling like I've had the top of this baby's head
hanging out of my vagina, like I have felt so
much pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I'm not sure I needed that mental imagery.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
To be That's why where my brain went. I'd love
a head in my vagina right now, el Ben's head.
That's what I thought long distance, the whole thing continue
as you were, crist What.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Sorry, some of us don't live with our husband.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's true. I live with mine, and I haven't had
his head vagina in.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
A long time. Some of us want to be having
sex still, some of us are stealing the honeymoon pays.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I would love to know. Maybe we should do a
pole on this because I know everyone's so like oral sex.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Where's this pole?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Got head?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Would you rather?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I would love to know, like because everyone's very different
in terms of like when and for how long they
feel comfortable having sex during pregnancy. Right, Some people have
sex up until the day. Some people it's a no
go zone from weeks in advance. Mine's being different for
each pregnancy. I would love to know what was everyone's
normal if you've had a baby, Like, at what point
did you either stop or did you never stop?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
But what's this pregnancy that means you get frisky because
you're other ones, you don't really get frisky doo.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I had sex up until due date for the other ones,
which was really uncomfortable for me because Marley went to
forty two weeks, so I was forty. I was two
weeks over and I was like, get this baby out.
Because they say that having a man brings.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Definitely a man definitely was the person who started that fact.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You know that that's like a man funded research study
that was done.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
This is what it looks like, really a man goes Yes.
I have found out that you do need to have
sex to bring on a baby.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Sperm brings on labor.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Exact, having sexy entire pregnancy ensures a safe baby.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, look for a reference around when this kid is due.
It should be this week. If I'm not on Wednesday's episode,
you know that I've already had a baby, or potentially
if I've been talking about it on socials, I've already
had a baby. Who knows. We're really it's just a
bit of a black hole at the moment.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Are you excited? Yeahs No, But like you don't have
to be excited. You might be stressed or anxious or nervous.
It doesn't mean you're not excited, but like, what's the
over arching feeling?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
What are the duplicious feelings that you're having. Yeah, I'm excited. Well, no,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I knew if we dug a little deeper would get there.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I don't know if I'm excited because I'm not mother
earth birth. Like, I'm not the person.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You don't need to ground and be drug free in
a pool.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, I don't. I don't love childbirth. I enjoy the
euphoric feeling afterwards, but I do kind of just think
that it's because you've almost had a near death experience
and your body's just happy that it's fuck.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, but I get that feeling from bungee jumping.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I also get it from LSD, but I haven't done
that in a long time either.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I was it from mushrooms, which I can't do for
a while.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I have done that since my twenties. I've never always taughty.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Have you never never done mushies?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Don't recommend it. That would get me in trouble. But
it was a good time.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I think there haven't you gave it away? To be honest,
I think I need to do it because I have
just been This might surprise people I know I give
bad ass, but I'm such a good goody, Like okay.
The school curriculum when I was in year ten brought
in Anna's story.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It did its job.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Do you remember Anna's story?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I've forgotten anna story.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Anna's story was like back when we were teenagers, A
long story short. Anna was a teenager took a pill
at a festival overdose and died, and her mum wrote
a book about it, and it got brought in as
a school curriculum like you would read it and learn
about it. But it did its job for me because
I just got really I just didn't want to die
from a drug overdose.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I'd never done drugs in and I never did
drugs since. And I just still remember.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I'm like, well played to Anna's mum because I reckon,
a lot of people did that.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
But now I'm like mid to late thirties. Who knows
how long I've got to live.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Maybe maybe I need to try mushrooms.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I reckon, If you've made it this far, don't bother.
But before you go out, like when you're like eighty,
just give it one last crack, just get high. What
happens in the home, what happens I don't know. I
also am very wary about coming across as do you
know what we're talking about pregnancy. We're not promoting drugs
on this podcast. That's not what we do.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
I actually did have a question if we can genuinely
go back to the whole like sex in pregnancy situation.
Have you ever been at a point where you've been
having sex and you've like felt the baby move.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Or kick, there's just a hand that grabs onto the.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Dude. That's weird. Think through what you just said. Just
think it through.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
That's cooked.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Put your poor down, drop your claws.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
I don't need the visual I mean that much like
a kick or something.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, that's why it's weird, because it feels as though
at this point, it feels as though there's a third
person in the room with you. And I didn't really
have that mentality when it was like Male and Lola,
But this time around, Poppy, it does not stop moving.
Like I guess was just sticking with the name. It
doesn't stop moving. I don't know who knows, I don't
know anything anymore. I shouldn't be here.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
You should be giving Burt. I feel like we're all
high shoday.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
No, I feel like she moves around so much that
for me it's quite distracting. And I find it very
uncomfortable during sex because I can't really concentrate on having
a good time because all I'm thinking about is getting
like kicked in the lung or in the.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Starring your child for life. No, but it's also not
pleasant for them.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Like you've seen those scams where it shows you how
much little things affect the baby at that point, like
how much you coughing what it does to the baby,
Like in terms of it's fine, but it disrupts them
because like it's they're so tied in there that like
the diaphragm goes down, things move, and it's feeling the walls.
So imagine if you're just getting pound down, the baby's like,
oh oh, we need to move on. Okay, sorry you

(06:44):
brought up the baby's hand holding the.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay, I'm gonna put that poll out because I'm curious
and I would love to know when people's limits were.
But yes, I could have a baby in the world.
We might not vibes. No one subscribes. Let's do it
all right.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
My Vibe is a BBC podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
It's something that you guys might have already seen on
a documentary because it's been talked about for quite a while.
But I love the BBC podcast I've recommended before. It
is called World of Secrets. So a little while ago
I recommended this same podcast, World of Secrets, but in
relation to this yoga teacher cult. So this is going
back maybe six months eight months that I recommended that

(07:20):
in case you missed it. So, the World of Secrets
is a series and they focus on each season is
something different.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
But this is the Abercrombie guys. So you guys love it.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, so you've probably seen the doco on it, but
I really enjoyed the podcast version where they've gone to
find I guess one of the guys that started the
whole thing, like one of the young guys that came out.
If you don't know what the Abercrombie guys are, the
owners of Abercrombie and Fitch, how it actually was so predatory.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
And all the things that went wrong within that industry.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Some really similar story themes to the American APAO one
that we also recommended a couple of weeks back, which
is the train Wreck episode series. It's so interesting to
me that these iconic brands of that error seem to
all kind of be very muddied by the same types
of claims and sexual assault stories and like it's pretty gross.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, and I found it really fascinating, I guess because
it's it's a bit of the me too movement, but
focusing on the males that I think people overlook. A
lot of people think men don't experience the same thing
as women do, and to a sense of course they don't.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Like it is not on part, but.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
In this sense, it was young male models were preyed
upon and horrific things happened to them. It's interesting to
hear the men that were involved come out and speak
about it firsthand about that because there's quite a few
people that it.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Ended up coming forward.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
And I always take my hat off to these investigative
that's the one where I can ever say investigative.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I always take my hat off to these investigative It
is a hard work. It's actually so far.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's a hard work, these investigation journalist investigates.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
When you say it, it's investigative, investigative.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, investigative. I take my hat off to these journalists
who dedicate years of their life to this one story.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Investigative journalists.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
She spent like two years chasing, like trying to get one.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Person to come forward and speak.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
And you know, when you hear of it like that,
you're like wow, Like I can't imagine dedicating so much
time to uncovering something so important, but I found it
really really interesting. So it's The podcast is BBC World
of Secrets and the series is called The Abercrombie Guys.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
All right, I have an unsubscribe. It is a generic one,
but it's one that I want you to hold with
you and remember this the next time that you have
a terrible fucking impulse purchase overwhelming feeling that comes across
you when you see a Facebook ad. So I recently
bought something online and I am so guilty of this.
If I see a good Facebook meta ad that pops

(09:54):
up on my phone, I will be considering purchasing things
that I never thought I needed. I once bought it.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I'm the worst.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Once brought a whole indoor fucking plant system that hangs
by attention. You construct it by tensioning this indoor plants
called an indoor plant forest from the ceiling. Abe. I
never set it up, like, I've never used it no,
because Matt banned it. Yeah anyway, okay, because you had
to put a pulley system into the ceiling literally, and

(10:21):
I purchased it on a whim, did not need it.
I purchased from ads all the time. Okay, I bought
something recently. It was ridiculously overpriced. I don't want to
dox the brand because, like, there are many versions of
this and they are all the same, but like, this
is kind of my most this is the most recent
hill I'm going to die on. It's a massage thing
that you used in the shower for lymphatic draining, right like,

(10:41):
so it's like plastic silicone massage. You hate showers, Well, no,
I like showers. I do them at least once a day.
The problem is is I received it cost you know,
over one hundred bucks for this piece of silicon. In
order for it to apparently be effective, you have to
use it for five minutes per body part every single day.
So if I want to do as to thank you,
if I want to do both ask cheeks in the

(11:02):
backs of my legs, that's twenty minutes in the shower.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Why I just going to stop you here. I think
this is a you problem.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
I agree, you didn't.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You didn't read the terms and conditions.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, the instructions aren't on the website. The instructions come
on the back of the box.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I just think you went like once down your body,
your live, but I'm sure that I say this will
take you half an hour per go.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
The thing is is we are all and I shouldn't
say we all, but so many of us are guilty
of buying things that we don't need because we are
absolutely relentlessly targeted, and we buy the lead light masks.
You buy the fucking buy I know, but there's so
many versions of them, right, and like, I guess that
it works. I have one. I love my omnilux mask,
but like, I don't need any other things. And I

(11:42):
do sometimes find myself that I'm so easy to market to.
I spend, so I shouldn't say I spend. So I'm
so easy to market to. I spend money on things
I don't need, and once it arrives, I use it
for a week and then it goes in a cupboard
and it's fucking irrelevant.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
And so purchased last night, late at night, on an
ad off the back of an ad. I'm embarrassed it's
so like a magnet light that sticks on your back
of your phone and it like swivels. It's like a
selfie light or a content light, so it like swivels
out and then one side's.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Got a mirror if you need it.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Don't know any of that, but it's like a double
whammy light that sticks on your phone.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
You're a content creator those I have one of those.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
No, the other one I got ghots on the top.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's from Multiple Anger. That's my point this unsubscribe is
just consider the purchases that you're making and whether you're
actually going to use these things as part of your
every single day routine. Because there's so many things out
there now that we're constantly being told we need to
look this a little bit better, or this little bit this. Oh,
it's just this one thing, like are you gonna do
a half an hour omnilux mask a fucking twenty minute

(12:44):
lymphatic drainage system every day? And if you're not going
to do that and make the time for it, don't
buy it because you're just gonna end up like me
and it's all going to sit in a cupboard and
you're not going to use it.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's a pretty deep unsubscribed thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I'm having an existential ground No, I'm just really mad
at myself that I bought this, and I like, I
bought in, I bought like fucking oil, and I bought
the wash, and then when it arrived, I was like,
I'm never going to spend twenty minutes in a shower
doing this daily, Like this was such a waste of
my money. My vibe this week kind of fits in
with this a little bit.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
It is a sub Stack article written by Kate Bowler,
who's a writer of podcast host Energy Professor. It's titled
feeling tired, Try giving up your purpose? Find your purpose
You're calling your destiny preferably yesterday. So I'm just going
to read this paragraph because I think it will give
you a pretty good synopsis of the whole article. It
starts with the purpose driven life is a powerful myth,

(13:30):
the best selling kind. It promises clarity, direction, and a
straight path to meaning. But this relentless search for purpose
has a cost, as the boundaries between work, identity, and
meaning blur. The pressure to find fulfillment in every aspect
of life can become overwhelming when every activity must be
infused with significance. Even leisure and rest risk being recast

(13:51):
as opportunities for self optimization. And she kind of went
through the history of how this idea around purpose.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You know, people would volunteer and there was.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
All this acts of service and service to people and
find your purpose in service, and you have to find
one purpose. There was a book that sold over fifty
million copies that was about this. It was like on
everybody's bookshelf, and it changed the way that a lot
of us thought about having to have one identified, big
purpose and what was the point of work and what

(14:22):
was the point of us being here? You know, these
big existential questions, And she kind of breaks down in
the fact that for a lot of us we won't
have one purpose in life. We may have many, many,
many smaller ones. And this idea of like needing to
have this one purpose. You know, work can't just be
to earn a salary anymore. You have to get purpose
from it. You have to be totally finding your calling

(14:43):
and you know, doing something that's in line with you.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
And for a lot of people that's just not realistic.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Like for a lot of people, they just have to
go to work to provide with their.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Fucking families, or a spiritual purpose or meditate or manifest
or do something else.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Purpose is important one hundred percent. I think everyone needs
a purpose, but it's like a soulmate.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
There's not just one. Well, yeah, they change.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
That was kind of what she spoke about.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
She wasn't saying that you should just give up on
having any purpose whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
What's the point.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
It was more about finding smaller things that you have
in your life to be purposeful.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
So instead of needing this one overarching purpose and that
was your life purpose, you know, your life actually might be
made up of many little purposes and that creates a
really big sense of purpose in your life.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
So it was a really good article.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
I felt like it was just one that I was like, oh,
this is kind of countercultural, and I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's by Kate Baala and it will be.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Linked in the show notes and on our website as
well as all of our vibes are all.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Right, let's get into the questions. Question number one, will
sex be boring? Because I use my vibe so much.
My last relationship, which was also my first relationship, lasted
for about two years and it didn't end badly at all.
During that time, I never finished, she never came, which
was a bit annoying.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh, that's that's hectic.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
After being strung along by your own vagina for two years.
But we were both young and at times. Today, I'm
not gonna be here for a while, so.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I can tell forget.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I'm out of here, fucking tap your clude you so
sorry everyone, Okay, I had never experienced an orgasm, so
I didn't know if I could fast forward to now.
I am currently single, and my vibrator has since proved
me that my body is absolutely, most definitely capable of it.
But now I'm a bit worried that using my vibrator

(16:27):
so frequently i'd say three to five times a week
is going to make sex in the future kind of boring.
I'll get lazy, won't be able to finish during sex
without it if I get so used to using it.
I guess my question is do I need to stop
relying on it and find other ways so I don't
become reliant on it and be lazy during sex in
the future. Girl friend, just smash that vibrator, enjoy your life.

(16:49):
You live once you don't know when your next relationship's coming.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
But also, okay, hear me out.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Sorry, the potential of having bad sex isn't a reason
to stop using.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Your vibrator because you might be lazy.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Useuld vibrate as much as you want, but work on
the sex as well.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I wish I found my vibrator sooner. I wish I
wish I'd even explored that as an option.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah. No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
And if you're worried about it it making you lazy,
then like that's a you problem.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
But you need to work on sex with your.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Partner because you've realized now you had one relationship where
you couldn't orgasm, and you thought you're in that percentage
of people that can't because there are a percentage of
people that can't. You figured out that in fact you can.
Good for you, So it just means that you've got
to work on that with your partner. Because every single like,
no one is cut from the same cloth, no one
everyone needs something different. People's bodies respond differently to different things.

(17:44):
The way somebody gives you that and what they bring
to the bedroom is different. You just need to have
a conversation and work it out with your partner until
you figure out what works. But I think this isn't
one or the other. It doesn't have to be like
I'm having bad sex, I can only use my vibrator.
I'm having good sex my vibrator. Do I want good sex?
Do I stop my vibrator? Like they can run concurrently, Like,

(18:04):
have as much sex as you want, have the great
sex alone, have the great sex with your partner.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Also, I mean, I think it's important to add you
don't have a partner at the moment, Like you're single.
You just said, my last relationship was for two years.
I didn't come at all. Now I'm single and I'm
using my virader loads and I've discovered that I can
have an orgasm. The thing is, firstly, it is amazing
that you've discovered this, and like unfortunate for you that
you were in a your relationship where you were having

(18:31):
sex that was probably subpar the pleasure that you were
able to enjoy. And that's because you both were in experience,
And that's totally fine, Like you know, that's normal, We're
all in experience. The thing is, now you know your
body better, You're gonna be better at asking for what
you want when you're having sex. When you're having sex
with someone and they're not doing the things that you
know you need in order to get off. I hope
that it's not just a point of like understanding what

(18:54):
your body needs but not being confident enough to communicate it,
because that's the most important part, right, But.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Also you you can use your vibrating in the sex
with your partner show them so that you can do
both simultaneously totally.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
And look, don't get me wrong, if you were spending
all day every day masturbating, not going to work because
you were just I can hit the bean and having
a good time.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
So five times a weeks a lot, I'm wondering how
much bedtime you got.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
But then I know, I mean, I guess it's like
most nights before she could probably goes to bed. I'm
not going to yuck that yarm. I don't know. I'm
not yucking it. I'm envy it.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I don't have the energy five nights a week.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm like, that's me put my electric blanket on in
that discerning war time getting But.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I would say, like, I mean, if you were doing
it so frequently, where masturbation in general takes away from
being able to enjoy pleasure when you're having sex. That's
a different story. But I don't think that using a
vibrator three to five times a week and being able
to get yourself off easily problem is going to inhibit
you from having good sex later on. I just really
hope that you get to a point where you are

(19:51):
able to communicate what feels good for you, so the
next time you go into a relationship with someone and you, guys,
are potentially in a situation where you're not getting off
from that sex, you're able to say, hey, can I
bring my vibrator into the bed or this is what
I need you to do to get me to where
I need to be so that you're not relying on it.
I think it's fine. Go for gold, girlfriend. You're having

(20:12):
a great time. Don't punish yourself, don't you know what?
Don't feel guilty about the fact that you're having a
great time with your vibrator. Life is sure absolute limit.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Click it, bang it, that's owhato? Here?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Live it?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Flick and bang it?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
All right?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
All right?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I found AI porn on my nephew's computer. Oh dear,
what do I do with this information?

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Do I tell his folks, hear me out while providing
tech support to my twelve.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Year old nephew.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
So young.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I have found out that he's been accessing porn websites,
including an AI porn game and an AI girlfriend generator website.
That is so scary to me, actually, like just stopping down.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's insane.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
The age twelve feels too young, and that the facts
that they're not even having I mean, I don't know
what's better. I mean real life connection in terms of
just with friends, but like the fact that you know
enough to go and have an AI created girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
The thing that's so alarming about this is, I mean,
obviously most of us know like the age reference, but
like twelve, you're in primary school. So as a primary
school child who is accessing this, who is seeing this
highly adult orientated content, it's fucking frightening.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
All right, Well, they continue on. I am unsure what
to do, if anything, at all. I acknowledge the raging
hormones and curiosity in preteens, but I want to make
sure he's not accessing content that encourages misogyny. I have
no children of my own, and I don't know how
best to deal with this. Should I talk to his
parents or just let sleeping dogs lie. I don't feel
comfortable talking directly to him as it might embarrass him.

(21:48):
Thank you in advance, love the pod.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
So as a parent, my very first response to this
is you have to tell his parents. Yeah, they cannot
parent the things that they don't know, and if they
have in providing him with unsupervised access to the Internet
or to laptops or whatever it is, they need to
be really, really aware of what it is that their

(22:11):
kids are accessing because they obviously think that, you know,
he's too They probably think he's too young. They probably
think he has no idea about that world. And I'm
sure that they would be absolutely mortified not at him
because his child, but at themselves that they hadn't done
more to protect him in this environment. You've got to
give them the opportunity to be able to correct this behavior,
to be able to have conversations with him, and more

(22:32):
so than correct the behavior, to keep him safe, because
if he's having this unfettered access to the Internet and
he's looking up this sort of stuff, it also opens
him up to being totally exploited in chat forums or
in different environments where predators could access him, Like, it's
this just so fucking frightening. This is not for you

(22:52):
to keep a secret or for you to you know,
try and manage. You just need to go straight to
the parents and talk about it.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah. I tried to put myself in this situation too,
as like an auntie to many nieces and nephews and
no kids are my own, So exactly like you, I
would absolutely be telling the parents because he is far
too young. He is a child, he is twelve years old.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
That makes me feel devastated.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
But my brain went straight to what you just said, Laura.
My brain went to not necessarily that, because kids that
age are going to look at porn, and I guess
porn has changed, you know, it's ai porn. Kids were
always looking at porn around twelve and thirteen, like they
were scene magazines and stuff. So it's just a modern
day version. And I'm not saying it's okay, But my
brain sort of skipped straight past that and went to

(23:38):
what else is he accessing and what other predators is
he meeting with or I don't say meeting with, but
talking to or that have access to him. That is
my absolute main issue. But I also understand why you're
worried about the misogyny all the things that could come
from that, because twelve is so impressionable, totally formative years
in all aspects of your life. And if this is

(23:59):
where you're your knowledge of what relationships are, what sex
is like for starts, it's not even a real person.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
So there's an issue in that. It says that he's
accessing porn websites including AI porn and AI girlfriend generators,
so he is actually accessing normal porn as well.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, it's extremely problematic. I wouldn't think twice about it.
I would let the parents know and then they can
decide what to do. But oh my god, I even
feel come comfortable if I was a parent. How do
you even have that conversation?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, I think parents, look, you can always seek advice
on how to have it, but it's so important. I
think sometimes we think that our kids are not at
the place or the stage of development that they are at.
And what I mean by that is is like, you know,
you always kind of see your child as being a child,
and they are. They're twelve, they're a baby. But the
ways in which twelve year olds and thirteen year olds,

(24:46):
the things that they have access to the things that
their friends talk about. All it takes is for another
twelve year old at school to have an older brother
and sister have seen some of this stuff, and then
they come to school and they're talking about it. So you,
as a parent, and I really deeply believe this, I think,
always have to be on the front foot. You always
have to be the one that's had the conversation with
them before the kids do, and not just assume that

(25:06):
because they're young, that they don't have any access to
this stuff. You've got to obviously make an age appropriate
and do it in a way that's like you're not
scaring them or exposing them to more things than what
they might not be aware about. But I think it's
a really tricky thing to manage, and it's not for
an auntie to manage. It is absolutely for the parents
to be across.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
You know what the problem is too.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's like, you know, so most of the parents that
we're talking to now and that are listening, you know,
grew up in our generation, give or take ten years
you know, older, but they grew up in our generation.
And I guess a lot of us look at and
I do the same with my nieces and nephews. You
look at them and you sort of think about it,
like you relate it to when you were that age.
But you can't do that because when we were twelve

(25:49):
it is different to twelve year old now.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
We didn't have access. The internet wasn't around.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
It was easier to be protected, and you had access
to things a lot slower. You had to come a
cross real life situations. But now kids have access to
anything at any age, Like if you're letting your eight
year old go on use YouTube, they have access to
things that they should absolutely not have access to. So
you can't you can't relate a twelve year old now

(26:16):
to a twelve year old when.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
We were twelve.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Also, like when you say, like when we were kids
that we could see porn, but the porn was like limited.
It was limited to a magazine. It was limited to
like you know, maybe the front of a DVD cover
that when you went into a ceed, not not even
DVD's like cover when you went to video easy, Like
it was such a specific type of porn, whereas now
the Internet is just anything and everything. And I really

(26:40):
maybe this is some parents would disagree with this, and
maybe I seem very skeptical in saying this. I love
my children, I trust them, but I don't trust them
at the same time, I don't trust that they're not
going to push the boundaries, and so I think as
a parent it's our responsibility to make sure that those
boundaries are tight and that you're thinking about Okay, I

(27:01):
know that they have unsupervised access to the Internet, then
I need to assume that they're doing stuff because they're
a kid and they want to you know, they're curious,
they want to find stuff out. If they've got unlimited
access to the Internet, they're gonna be looking at the
things that they think they can get away with. Kids
know how to delete explore history now, kids know how

(27:22):
to delete photos on iPhones. Like Mollie is six, she
has never been taught how to use an iPhone. She's
only observed us doing it. She doesn't use an iPhone,
she obviously doesn't have one. And I found out recently
that she knew that you could take photos and you
could delete them, which to me, I was like, for
a six year old, why would you even know or
need to or need to delete photos? Exactly? Like, why

(27:44):
is that something that should exist? And every solf and
she'll take our phone and be like, I'm going to
take photos, and she's taking photos you know, around the
house of the plant or the dog or whatever. But
the concept to me of like, Okay, now that you
know you can delete stuff, you also know you can
get away with stuff, so then you know it kind
of prompted me to go check, well, what is it
that you think you need to delete that I can't see.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Because she might not know about the delete folder yet.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, she doesn't know the delete folder exists. We had
a big conversation around the fact that like things you
do on phones and things you do on the Internet
will always be there and other people will always be
able to find that stuff. And I think that was like,
you know, an age appropriate way of having a conversation
around a bigger concept when it comes to the Internet.
But this is really fucking scary, and twelve is just

(28:25):
such a baby to be exposed to all of that
horrible stuff. So why they need to be so many
more laws around porn and accessing like age appropriate porn
and having like over eighteens and all.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
That sort of stuff, like it needs to come into effect.
It's just that they have that stuff. It's just the Internet,
no pirate stuff and rip it. Then it goes on
too another word page that has access to anyone or totally.
But in Australia, look, I mean this is the big thing.
It's been pushed for years and there's a legislation that's
going through government at the moment, Like why with everything
that we have in this country and the ability for
rules and procedures and policies to be implemented, why do

(28:59):
they not have a verified age vetting on all pornography
sites so that if you're accessing it, you don't just click.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yes, I'm over eighteen. You have to submit your license,
you have to submit your details. Also, then you will
know people who are looking at things that are absolutely
fucking abominal, because people will be traceable by their IP addresses.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Like I think, yeah, But I don't know if I
believe in that either.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
I don't think that we as people should be policed
to the point that we're like, hey, Fred from down
the road looked at porn last night. Like I understand
it to set rules for age appropriateness, but we shouldn't
be able to be tracked for every single thing we
put into a Google search as well.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I agree with it. What if the things that you're
searching are like things that elicit to child porn? Do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (29:37):
One hundred percent?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
This is why it's a problem, because of course we
need it for that. But the average Joe blow that
just wants to go and look at porn doesn't want
the government to know every single thing he looks at
like it's it wears the line, and I understand it
that something needs to change for that reason. But like
generally speaking, we can't have a government watch what every
single thing that we put in like they already fucking
watch everything that we do.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
So I understand both arguments. It's fucking tricky.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
It'll be an interesting one to unpack one day, like
with more details around how they're going to manage that
in the future. All right, next question, I don't know
how I feel about this one. My boyfriend gets turned
on by crying, so now I can't get emotional or cry.
Hear me out. My boyfriend and I were discussing our
turn ons one day in the early days. He told
me how when his partner cries, it gets him a

(30:23):
little bit aroused. He says he can be empathetic, and
he never or has never acted on it. I am
someone who likes to discuss my mental health struggles with
my partner, cry chat about it, and move forward. But
now I find myself unable to cry in front of him,
which is now leading to an issue because I'm bottling
things up when I'm around him.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
And he just want to get pumped.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Was She's like, if I cry, he's going to want
to fuck me. Any help or suggestions would be great,
because he's incredible. He is my penguin someone I've gone
through a crappy marriage and many toxic relationships to find
Now I'm not viewing this as something that will break
the relationship. I just don't know how to move past
this that I can let the floodgates open up and
move on before it seriously affects me.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
So the problem is you want the floodgates opening from
the eyeballs, but not the vaginas.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, less vagina floodgates. This is what a weird king
to be like when my partner is emotional and vulnerable,
I want to fuck.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
No, do you know what I actually probably think if
you dug into that. I don't think it's that weird.
I think he would come into like a protection thing,
like vulnerable and you want to look after them or whatever.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I don't think it's probably that weird.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's a little bit weird if it's to the extreme
where like you are talking about something quite serious and
dark and deep and crying and he's just got a
rating boner, Like if.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
You can't control himself, it's weird.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
But also if it's just turning him on, is in like, fuck,
I just want to look after you and I love
you and whatever.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't think you should have bottled in.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well what do you do though, because people just because you're.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Turned on doesn't mean you have to fuck Like he
can control that unless you're not crying and he's like
who like a big giant boner.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
I yea that he needs to control that.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And people get turned on for different things all the time,
and it doesn't mean you have to like drop your
pants and do the deed right then and there. Like
you can definitely need to tell him that you feel
uncomfortable crying because you're worried.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
He's going to want to have sex.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Like it's I think it's I think it's you know,
I don't I don't think you need to break up
with him for it, and I don't think you need
to bottle it up.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
But maybe if it's something that's you've got to be
far more emotional about it's you talk to someone.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Else about it. It depends how much he can control
his impulsess. Look, he has said and you have said
it in your question itself. He says that he can
still be empathetic and he has never and will never
act on it. That's good, Like at least he has
self control, you know what I mean. But it would
be disconcerting to be quite upset about something discombobulating me

(32:41):
and wanting to talk about it with your partner and
always thinking I'm getting upset by here we go again, Well,
because I think the bigger thing is and like to
kind of unpack it on a deeper level. Is like
it's invalidating, right, Like you're there talking about something that's
really you want your partner to be able to understand
your feelings. You want your partner to be on a

(33:01):
level with you where they're able to communicate about the
thing that's making you upset or whatever that looks like.
And all you're now thinking is like, well, if I'm crying,
he's going to want to bone And that's just like
it's a totally inappropriate reaction for that environment setting, like your.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Grandma just died and he's like, oh, you're so hot
right now.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Literally, that is weird. But this is the problem is though,
it is like, unless you actually have a conversation with
him about it, you're probably always going to feel a
little bit like, well, if I cry, is that what
he's thinking. Even if he doesn't do it, is that
what he's thinking. Now, I don't know what the solution
is to this unless it's like talk it out. My
other thing is maybe this's going to come back and

(33:39):
bite me on the ass. Because in no way do
I want to kink Shane. That's not what I'm doing here.
But I do want to ask the question, if you
have a kink that you're never ever, ever going to
act on because you know that it's socially not either
the norm or could be perceived as inappropriate, why tell
someone Because all that does then is gives them the
burden of them trying to like deal with the fact

(34:02):
that you have this sexual kink that impacts them, but
you're never going to act on it, but you're thinking
about it. But then it's like, is everything needed to
be discussed in a relationship. Should then there'll be some
stuff we keep to ourselves.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, but maybe if it's an extreme kink, I think
this is different. I don't think it's a kink.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
They just should have said in our early days we
were saying, hey, what turns you on. He's obviously been like, hey,
sometimes when people cry, I get turned on.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I don't, I don't reckon. It was that.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
I don't think they thought about it that much. And
I don't think it's a kink as such. But there's
a definite difference between a turn on and a kink.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
That's like he's not even.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Dump on a chest, but he's but he's you know,
he was open and vulnerable with you and said that
when someone cries that it turns him on.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't think it's the end of the world. And
you've said he's not going to do anything about it.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
I just talked to him about it, and maybe he
can put your mind at ease a little bit and say, like,
you're overthinking it, like I don't want to ravage you
every time you cry.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Maybe he'll explain it a bit more.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
I think he has a vulnerability, kink. I think that's
what it is.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, Like I think it's common, not necessary. The tears party.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Wanting to look after somebody is a really common thing
with men, like when someone like the broken bird syndrome.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Some women do it as well.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
I mean that was Yeah, women, loads of women to
be a man that's a fixer up a project, and
I will take him the men do to it and
let him destroy me in.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Every way literally, literally, physically, metaphorically.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I cried a lot. I'm pretty sure that crying also
turned my exes on.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
When I think about the yes, see, I think it
comes back to this, like I'm a protector.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'm masculine, I'm doing my job.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
I'm looking after you. And maybe I'm looking too much
into it now, but yeah, I wouldn't say it's the
actual liquid tear that does it. I think it's the surrounding,
deeper meaning.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
I think a few conversations need to be hard, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Last question, last question, This is hectic. This is like
the most hectic.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Question in a way besides the woman falling pregnant to
her cousin when she cheated on her husband. This is
like a different kind of hectic.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
What about the woman who fell pregnant during a threesome
and it wasn't to her partner.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
That's one to the cousin prick, And then this one
comes under that.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
What about the dad sniffing? What about the father in
law who was caught sniffing his son his wife's vibrator. Yeah,
that was probably the most hectic question we've ever had.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
That was cooked, That was proper Cox. This is hectic
for a different reason because it's like, I mean, could be.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Illegal hashtag mushroom gate.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Have a listen to this is my mother in law
poisoning me? If you think so?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Probably?

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
I have been with my partner for three years and
he has been nothing short of amazing. He's taught me
the real definition of love and I could see myself
with him long term. The one thing I really struggle
with is his mother in law, who can be very opinionated,
and I'm slightly convinced has it out for me.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I was recently. I'm not slightly I'm convinced.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
I was recently sick with a cold and I just
couldn't seem to shake it off. So she mailed me
through some vitamins in inverted commas, along with a list
of when to take them and how many to take
each day. I thought this was really nice, so I
took them without his After about four days of taking them,
I was at work with horrible stomach cramps.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
It was vomiting.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I was really unwell. So turns out the vitamins that
she had given me were actually medication the doctors used
to treat scabies and ringworm, and she was giving me
four times the dosage of what doctors would prescribe when
they prescribed these things.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
That's so that's so intense.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
The doctor said, I was really lucky to have only
been vomiting, as it could have been a lot worse.
Once she found out how sick I was, she kept
trying to contact me to discuss my symptoms, but I
just kept declining the call as I was extremely upset
about everything. My partner has now told me that I
should ring her and apologize for ignoring her phone calls,
and that I should be keeping the peace. Am I

(37:44):
in the wrong for not wanting to keep the peace
with my mother in law after something like this? And
is it worth being with my partner when I absolutely
cannot stand her ps. My mother in law isn't a doctor,
and I have no idea where the hell she got
these medications from in the first place.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Look, we did a bit of a deep dive on
this one, because I mean, firstly, we don't know exactly
what it was that your mother in law has given you.
But from a bit of research that we all did,
because you know, none of us are doctors and none
of us are scientists, but it looks like it was
probably a thing called ivermectin, which I think is really
interesting because this is something that was touted during COVID
and people were taking because it was said to help

(38:22):
alleviate COVID symptoms. So ivermectin is kind of a little
bit controversial, but there is other reasons why people take
it beyond just ring worm and scabies. Now the question
is here, is your mother intentionally or mother in law
intentionally trying to poison you? I don't think so. I
think she's probably quite woo woo and thought that this
is like this, you know, underground treatment that was going

(38:44):
to help you get over all of the things that
had similar characteristics to COVID.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Asking if your mother in law's poisoning you is like
a pretty big thing. I would be giving her the
benefit of the doubt that maybe she actually genuinely thought
she was sending you something that was going to help
you with your flu symptoms when you said you couldn't
shake it. But I think maybe have a conversation with her.
I know you're avoiding her calls. Maybe you're a conflict avoidant.
I am very conflict avoidant as well, But I think

(39:09):
having this conversation with her, not accusatory, but talking her
through what it was and asking her why she sent
that and where she got those doses from. Because it's
made you really ill. I think it's important you tell
her how ill it has made you because she might
be sending that out to all the friends, she might
be giving it to loads of people. But that conversation,
I think will tell you a lot, the way she responds,

(39:31):
the way.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
She gives you the information.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Like people have good gut instincts, right, And I'm definitely
not going to say she's not poisoning you.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
We don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
We've just gone seen the mushroom case, you know in Australia,
Aaron Pattison. We're not saying that that's what this is,
but we can't say that it's crazy because obviously it
has happened. I would be giving her the benefit of
the doubt, but I wouldn't be giving her the benefit
of the doubt without talking to her.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I would be trying to figure what the fuck is
going on.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, I would have all those conversations too. But I
think also there's a pretty fucking big lesson here. Everyone
don't take medication from brandom people who are not doctors,
Like whether it's a vitamin or it's you know, something
that's prescribed or not prescribed. There is no way in
hell that I would be taking medication that Ellie gave
me on a whim and gave me the dosage amounts

(40:17):
without doing my own research and looking that up. Because,
as you said, she's not a doctor, so I don't
think she's tried to do it in a covert way.
She's been very overt. She's sent you something, she's given
you the dosage. I think we have to take some
personal responsibility as well and be like, Okay, well, what
is it that I'm being recommended to take.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Well, the other thing.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Here is that we haven't touched on, but we should
before we check out here is is it worth being
with my partner when I can't stand his mother?

Speaker 2 (40:41):
That's a pretty big question.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
I would love to say that it shouldn't affect your relationship,
you know, And I'm going to talk more broadly here,
not just your situation. At the end of the day,
it depends on what the relationship is and how awful
that person is and how much they stick themselves in
your life and disrupt your life, what they're doing, how
manipulative they are, how they are. Is it truly truly
something that you can't, you know, have a relationship without

(41:05):
them being involved. Then yeah, that is a question that
you need to ask yourself. But I think if it's
the love of your life, I wouldn't just be breaking
up with him because you've got these issues with the
mother in law. Like you can have those conversations with
him and let him know why she is such a
problem for you, and obviously you've talked about it in
some sense because he's like, you need to go and
make up and make this better. But maybe he doesn't

(41:26):
quite understand your feelings surrounding it. And I'm assuming there's
a lot more going on than just this, because for
you to even jump, Like for you to jump to
the conclusion that she could have poisoned you intentionally.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
There's gotta be a load of other.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Stuff surrounding that, Like that's not someone's first go to
and it's not a normal train of thought, Like it's
not if my mother in law sent me something and
I got sick, I wouldn't you trying to poison me?
I'd be like, oh my god, like you made me
wildly unwell, Like what was that? Yeah, I don't know,
Like that's not my first train of thought.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
So all also that, I mean, you kind of just
said it to then vibret, am I in the wrong
for not wanting to keep the peace with my mother
in law after something like this. You're not in the wrong.
You don't need to call her and apologize, as your
partner's suggesting, but you do need to talk to her,
like you can't just ignore her and be like, you
fucked up. You sent me something that made me sick,
because there is a personal responsibility here where you took
the thing like you took it blindly, because you just

(42:22):
assumed that your mother in law, who has no medical experience,
would send you something that's going to fix you, Like
that to me is weird as well. So I think
like having a phone call where you're like, hey, that
whatever you sent was really really dicey and it really
really affected me. Please just know that that's not something
to send. She will probably be mortified unless she's a
psychopath and she's trying to you. Like, but I think

(42:42):
you could get yourself into a situation in this where
you are actually the one in the wrong, especially if
you use this as like verbatim and gospel that she's
trying to kill you. And then secondly, that big question,
is it worth being with my partner when I can't
stand his mother in law? You obviously already can't stand
her own You can decide what impact she's having on
your relationship. And there are many people who are in

(43:05):
happy relationships with their husbands or with their wives and
they fucking can't stand they're in laws, and there are
many people who are not. So that, unfortunately is so
subjective it's impossible to answer. Good luck, God speed, stay well,
don't take anything. Do not go for any dinners at
your mother in law's house. Make sure that the plates
are all matching in color.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Byo your own food or when they put the plate
down in front of you, swap it.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Yeah, see if they eat it? Jack out yours looks
good to.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Have your ask her to eat a mouthful of your
plate first every time you go for a dinner at
our house.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
That's one way to deiorate a relationship, is it? Hey,
let's get out of here.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Please keep your ask on cuts coming in you're accidentally
unfiltered to send them into Instagram to a life on
Cup podcast and we have YouTube. Now you're gonna want
to put it on hit subscribe, watch it with your partners,
chat it out?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
What would you do? Would you be thinking your mother
in law's poison you or not?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
And I could be pushing a baby out of my
huha right now? Just do you want to think about that?
So all live stream it?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Hey for Laura, we have hooked up a live stream.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Would you guys want to watch a live stream of
my birth? Should we do it? He'sh just so keen
for a live stream of anything.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Tried to live stream my wedding.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Hesh's been pushing for a live stream for so long.
How would like a vaginal birth go for you? Keys?
Do you want to be in the room? You want
to be the one film.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
At we'd get the numbers, it'd get taken down. You
can't put that stuff on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
But it's not it's not sexually explicit. It's a it's
a beautiful birth from the side.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
We haven't nipple taken down recently, did we?

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Why the number one porn star we let a nipple
slip into the YouTube?

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Not no, an actual nipple. The word nipple.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
It was a nipple. No, her nipple was in it.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Why was her nipple in there? Sorry, I've just come
and jumped back on Mike. It was a picture that
was advertising.

Speaker 5 (44:41):
You know when when we talk about things, even for
our vibes of today's episode, it will go up on
and nest will put a picture of it so that
people know what it looks like. She was talking about
the film that she had made, and she had like
a netted dress on and yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Sorry, who thought that putting a real nipple on the
YouTube was ever going to an accident?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Video editors? She's into nipples?

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Yeah, yeah, Still the problem men can have their nipples
on there, why can't we?

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Part ANGELA part of me is like why not? Like
I don't think that would agree. I don't think. No,
I don't mean the nipples thing. I mean life streaming
in a birth. A part of me is like I
think Matt would think it would be weird, but like, no,
you're not live stream. I mean, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Okay, fucking live stream with then, but we've got to
pay for it, paid subscription.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
We are putting it.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Pay Sorry, are we splitting my live birth fifty to fifty?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, this is my company.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Shoe paid for how. Yeah, you're a paiper, you get
paid a bonus. But you've got to be pretty steady
with your head if you're going to be in there
and live stream this shop.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
You know, we're talking about how everyone has such a
desire for short form content now that just to me
feels like it could be forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
It could be like four and a half hours a
fair day.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
I can't guarantee how long it's going to take. Marley's
was eight hours, but look it was fine because I
had an epidural and I was induced. So like the
first five hours when.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
I stop, just let's do it. If you're doing it,
let's do it. Let's double down. Right now, I gonna
do it.

I would do it for free.

something from it, just for ships and.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
