with Britt Hockley and Laura Burne.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Hi everyone, Hey guys, Happy Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Happy Thursday for some except for my poor husband Matthew Johnson.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Do you know what he did?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Actually literally this morning. But I just got a call
about an hour ago.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
What do I want to know?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
So Marley's been in vacation care for some of our
school holiday time, and we're gonna call from vacation care.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mind you, Marley's in kindergarten, She's been going to kindergarten
for full half a.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Year now, and vacation care is part of school, right,
so it's the same company. It's after school care, same
rules apply.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
During vacation care.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Gotcha, got a call from the lovely people who take
care of my child to ask us why we've sent
her to school with peanut butter sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Matt just assumed.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
He assumed that the rules don't apply during vacation care. Yeah,
and he sent her to school with peanuts where there
are children who are anaphyletics. So now I feel like
I've been accused of trying to kill some kids off.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well, to be.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Fair, you could have very well killed some kids off.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, they do check their lunch. Do you know what
I did realize once? It took me a while to
get to that point. I think I spoke about on
the show. I didn't realize that Natella was actually I
just didn't think about it. I know it's very obviously
in the name, but I sent Molly to school several
times with Natella and it wasn't until I got a
phone call that they were like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I do remember that. That's why this makes it worse
for Matt, because you guys have done it before.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It is time for something we do every Thursday, and
that is ask Guncut. It has become as staple of
our podcast Life Uncut, and it's where you guys call
in with your deep You're dark and your questions, and
even though we are completely unqualified, we do our best
answer them.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
We have it.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Emily on the phone.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Hey Emily, Hi Emily, what's the problem?

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Hi guys. Okay, So, basically, there was a guy I dated,
maybe like three or four years ago. We were quite serious,
but like we never like were boyfriend and girlfriend, and
due to like careers and stuff in the sense that,
like I work a normal job and he would work

(02:37):
weird hours, it just never eventuated and my work took
me other places. Anyways, I just have never been able
to stop thinking about him, Like you think.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
He's kind of the one that got away.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, And the worst bit about it is I'm never
one to like I'm such a girl's girl, right, Like
I would never do anything. But he has a girlfriend
now and they've been together for a year, and I
thought it would just go away, but it's not.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Have you dated other people and then it just doesn't
feel right? Are you in a relationship now? Doesn't feel right.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I have dated other people in the past, I have
had a relationship in those three to four years, and yeah,
I was still thinking about him.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Do you have any contact with him?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
This is so bad? I do swear, I swear such
a girl's girl, Like I would never move in on him,
but we still chat yeah here in there about like
whatever's happening in the world, and like things I know
he likes.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Okay, so does he I know he likes.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Does he ever give you the indication like, does he
ever overstep the mark? Or is he giving you the
indication that like, had it been different, he would have
wanted it to work out.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
So basically, back in October, we had like a drunk
phone call and he was in a relationship at this time,
and he said, oh, like we just didn't work out
because our life paths didn't go that way. And he
still thinks of me nicely. But he tells his partner everything,
and he's completely open with her and trusting with her.

(04:10):
And I would never do anything to her a relationship
or I wouldn't even like let him do something to
affect that, because I know what that could mean if
I were to get in a relationship with him and stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
By that, Emily, I know what I mean, Yes I do,
But I also just think that sometimes the fantasy is
better than the real life. Like I think that you
can build it up in your head and be like,
he's the one that's got away. If we had another chance,
maybe he's my person.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
But sometimes they do get away.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
But he's not your person.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's got a girlfriend, so if he wanted to be
your person, he would free up. He's a calendar that
he hasn't done that, and he's definitely stayed committed in
a relationship.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I kind of think there isn't much that you can do.
And I don't know if I would be putting myself
in the firing line of telling him how I feel
when he's in a relationship, for it doesn't agree with me,
for it's looking at me like she's.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
The message just doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, I'm not saying that doesn't happen often. I genuinely
don't know what to tell you, because I am like
a quite a romantic and I like the idea of
like I I do believe that there can be right
people for each other at wrong times, like I know
people wherever that's happened.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I believe in that.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I do believe in going after what she want, but
obviously within reason. I don't mean that about like being
a homewreck and breaking up relationships but it's if you
genuinely believe someone is the one that makes me be Like,
if he was in a relationship, I'd be like turn
up to his house, like tell him. If he says
he's not interested, it's fine, move on. At least you
know that and you can put it to bed. This

(05:37):
is what I think he do. It's wrong to try
and break up a relationship, is wrong to do the
wrong thing and emotionally cheat and cheat and things like that.
You are well, I'm just saying she has not stopped
thinking about him. She loves him, she thinks he's the one.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
This is what I would say, get a dog.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
No, I would say, hey, really, honestly, I don't think
we can maintain this friendship anymore. I still have feelings
for you, so I don't think it's right, and I'm
going to do the right thing by your relationship and me.
That way, you are being a good person and pulling back.
As long as you commit to pulling back, You've also
let him know why, which is like, my feelings are
still there. Then he can go and do.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
With it what he will.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
He'll either feel nothing for you and say like I
understand and get on with your life, or he'll be like, wow,
I've always felt the same way and didn't think she did,
and then something problem.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, The problem I have with it is that no
matter what you do, even if you do throw that
out there and he goes and turns around and says like, oh,
now I have confused feelings. The amount of like back
and forth because no one's going to receive that information
and then instantly go, you know what, I have those
feelings for you too. I'm going to break up with
my girlfriend, move out of the house, and then we
can start a consensual relationship together.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I'm not going to cheat. I'm going to be a
stand up guy.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
There's nowhere in between except for it to either be
he agrees, and then there's cheating for him to like
get the validation that he needs in order to leave
the relationship. He's not going to from a one line
of you saying he's still got feelings, break up with
his current girlfriend and move out of the house they
live in. He's going to need way more validation, which
just means you're putting yourself in a drama filled unnecessary

(07:07):
relationship with someone who has got a relationship and I
just think you don't need this in your life.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
She does need him in his life when he's her penguin.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, there's more than one person for everyone. You meet
someone else, Emily, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Whose advice you're taking? Laurs on?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Mine?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Part of me is still like do I just suffer
in silence?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Just keep waiting, don't keep waiting, Just don't wait, Emily,
date other people I have?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
I have none of them.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh, Emily, I do not envy you.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Good luck with this, and make sure you us a
call back and tell us how it all goes.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
I will, Thanks, guys, Thanks Emily.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I mean, I'm sure some of you know if you
listen to the show, but it might be used to
anyone who's new. I am currently pregnant with my third baby,
and let me tell you, third pregnancy is a whole
different kettle of fish to the first one, and the
second one just.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Like doesn't even touch the sides.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Really for you, does it?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well? That?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, the baby's just gonna shoot straight out.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Isn't even gonna have any resistance. No, I no, I
didn't mean. I don't mean you're loose when you said it. No,
I meant life doesn't watch the size. I was like,
I can put your legs in steir it to shoot
it out.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I menage him, like it HiT's different, Like again, that
could be taking the wrong way.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
It is going to touch the sides on the way out.
I mean it.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
He's different, Like you're less involved in Like you're like,
it'll come in nine months because you've done it twice
and you're busy.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, look and love that. You were like, no, I
still will touch people.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I was like, one can only hope that it does
still touch the size as it comes out. But anyway, look,
it is very different. And I say this because I
feel like this pregnancy has just completely gotten away from me.
And sometimes I feel pretty good since I've gotten my
refleux under.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Control that I often actually just forget that I'm pregnant,
and I forget you're pregnant.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, until I get Britt was talking about just how
we should do this morning. She was like, Oh, we
should really do this, like you do a big party
at the end of the year, like a show party,
and we'll invite all our listeners and we can do
it on a boat. And I was like, I'll have
a six week old baby. But she sounds good. And
I was like, what completely blanked that I was having
a kid. But anyway, look, every so often I get
a reminder like I'll get a massive thump to the

(09:10):
uterus because I'll get a big, solid kick, and I'm
I'm well passed halfway now. I think I'm about twenty
five weeks. And I just the other day discovered that
I've hit a part of pregnancy or a new stage
that I never got to in my first or second
and it was incredibly humbling. So we were all in
the office having a little dance. We were filming some content,
and part of that was that we had to, like,

(09:30):
you know, really kind of get into this dance that
we were doing.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
And I did.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I was really channelling my nineteen year old self being
at the nightclubs. And I dropped it like it's hot,
and I did a liberated woman.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Drop, I live my best life drop, and I got
to the bottom of that drop. I got low and
I got low. I got low, I got low, and
then I pissed my pants at the bottom of bottom Jean.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
It was I didn't and no, I'm not just talking
about tiny bit of bladder leakage. I got to the
bottom of that drop and I fully wet myself. Well
maybe it won't, Cutch the scientist. This just got to
shoot right in and there was something incredibly I don't
even want to say humbling, because I know I've said that,
but it was just humiliating having to stop and like,
sorry everybody, I have to go to the bathroom. And

(10:11):
now the problem is is like I don't know whether
I did damage, or whether I've just set things off,
or this kid is.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Just on my bladder in a way that it shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I don't think you need damage in your liberated woman
drop because it's just it's part and parcel right third pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Potentially, but it had never happened prior. And now if
I cough too hard, if I sneeze too hard, yeah,
it's just it's become part of my everyday staple.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
You're not alone, Laura.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
There are some pretty high statistics on women that having continence.
It's I don't want you to be embarrassed. We all
pretended it didn't happen. We all turned a blind eye,
and I even spilt my water bottle to try and cover.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
And someone mopped up the puddle.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
So someone said, what is this and I said, sorry,
clumsy me again, I spilled.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
It's my lime cordial juice. Apologies.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
You know why I think I forget you're pregnant is
because on the rare occasions I do remember, I try
and feel it moving, and you're like, oh, it's so movie.
Every time I go and try and touch it, it
just freezes, like it doesn't want to move for me,
I think it knows.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's because you're very aggressive anytime you come over. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
So like just before this is literally just before we
started the show, I was like, oh, the baby's kicking.
Heaps come and feel and Brick came over and she
didn't stick her hand on my belly.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
She gave me an alf a caut You just you
don't rest your hand, you like really get in there.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
And then had to sort of poke it to make
it move.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Do you not. I'm still trying to like feel it out.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
And then Britt says, oh, don't worry, I have a
technique to get it to move. She lifts up my
shirt and gives me a raspberry on my stomach.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
I'm a full grown woman having my third.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Baby, and I don't think I've had a raspberry.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
In a whole lot.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Fifteen years, No, fifteen years, twenty five.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Years, A long time, you're well, long time, you're welcome.
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is a trick that you are supposed to do
like it must be like the vibrations or something like
when you do a raspberry it makes it tickle or something.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
I don't believe that for a while.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Second, I don't believe that giving someone a raspberry makes
a baby move in their belly.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Here we go. No, actually, I stand correction.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No, blowing raspberries on a pregnant belly is unlikely to
do anything. There you go. Well, I just treated you
to a little little raspberry for your for your Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, I stand corrected. I've been raspberry and a lot
of pregnant women. I hope you enjoyed it as much
as I did. You're living your learning. I'm mind blown.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm really mind blown.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Sorry, Laura, because you don't have to apply. Okay, Well,
after the break, let's just.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Really get out of here, because I feel really embarrassed
and all.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Last weekend it was my oldest daughter, Marley May. It
was her six year birthday party.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Six years.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Just what it is?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Six six. It's her sixth year. I'm just six on
the planet. Yeah, she was six.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
We had a birthday party for her and we had
a pinata. I think the pinadas are just like the
most staple kid's birthday party. If you need something to
do that's going to tie them over for ten minutes,
and you also want to get all all these out
of your own house. You stuff at Pinada, you hang
it up and you let the kids whack.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
It for a while. I'm a pinard A super fan.
I'm not gonna lie. You're a Pinada super fan.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Every year. I pinada once a year.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
People. People don't know this about me.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
I am a secret pinata just by yourself or Pinada.
It is my family's Christmas tradition since literally there's not
a year we don't have a photo since we were like.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Three years old.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Like our whole family, all my cousins and Narnie's and everyone,
Pinarda is every single Christmas.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
So I posted it on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Right there was a couple of photos from the birthday
party that I put up and I posted one of
my stories on Instagram. I never realized that pinadas were controversial.
I didn't know this well, apparently they are. And the
reason why I say this is because not you, I
mean sorry, people like just have some fun, let's go home. No,
there was quite a few people in my DMS who Firstly,
the question was raised around the violence of pinadas. There

(13:55):
was also questions about you're.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Trying to get a lolly.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
You're getting a lolly. I'm sorry, I can't even I'm
going to go home. I can't even listen. It is okay.
Let me let me explain to you when it was raised.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Firstly, I did read one of these comments that was
sent to me and I was a bit like, oh,
I see your point, but I think it's a stretch.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
So we always talk to our kids about not being.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Violent, right about like never hit things, don't hit people,
don't throw your toys, like behave in a way that's
showing kindness, I guess, and that's the thing that you
always try and uphold with your children. And then at
birthday parties or once a year, apparently if you're Brittany Hockley,
you get your kid's favorite thing, like what's their most
favorite thing in the entire world world a unicorn, Let's

(14:40):
stuff it, let's fist it with lollies and then give
it a noose and hang it up by the neck
and get all the kids in the line to smack
it with a pole. Now, this person was so, I know,
I know, I know, and I agree with you. I
was like, guys, I think that we've gone too far.
The PC police need to calm down. However, someone then
sent to me that there are a type of pinnata

(15:03):
called a no hit pinada.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
So it's a pinada that's been.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Specifically the parents who want to have no violence. It's
not violent, wait for it, and it comes with all
these strings in the belly, and so it's kind of
like a lucky dip. So it's got all these different
strings that hang down from it. And the little kids
go and they pull a string, and then that one
didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Another pull a string.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
That one didn't do anything, And if you get the
right string, you go boom, and then the belly of
the unicorn opens up and all the lollies rain down
and the kids downing underneath.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Fun does it? No? No kid wants to pull a string. Guys.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I'm all for being progressive, but this is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Like, just okay, hear me out.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You don't have to have a unicorn. Why don't you
get a criminal a pinata in the shape of a
house and call it renovation. Teach your kids young, we're
knocking the house down, we're gonna rebuild.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
It's an episode of the block.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's not violent. You're literally trying to have fun to
It's like like playing baseball.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
You're swinging about what we're gonna not play baseball?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Like, what's the problem here? Stop taking away all fun
from the kids.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay, well you heard it here first. Britney's against it.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm not giving I can see that, and no one,
no one's ever gonna ask you to. I will never
ever give you a no hit pinada.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I can't even believe they exist. Look, and I'm on
your side with this. I got the messages and I.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Was like, surely now you'll be shocked at how extreme
we are with our pinada.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
We no Pritty's got a pinata tattoo. No wait to
hear this.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
We've always had multiple pinadas. We make them, and we
make them at different levels. My grandpa used to make
them so hard that the adults would have like baseball
bats that couldn't crack them because He thought it was
hilarious to make it out of like proper cement and stuff.
So we would have like easy pinadas for the little kids,
would have different levels to ensure that everyone at our

(16:52):
Christmas party got a pinada. We built Pulley systems. They're
on Pulley systems over the poles and stuff like we
take pinata ing. So seriously, I didn't realize that this
was Yeah, so I'm propria I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
That I was going up against someone who was a
fully invested pinada person.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Muld be one of my best friends, Laura.
