We’ve done a lot of episodes about dating in the past. We’ve actually done a few about dating with today’s guest! But we’ve recently had a bit of feedback that some of you in the dating scene are really struggling to find the motivation to keep dating at the moment. Some of you feel exhausted. Others feel a bit hopeless, and it turns out, you’re not alone. There has been a big cultural shift in what women want when it comes to dating and it’s got a trendy new name - “chalant dating”.

To break it down with us we have friend of the podcast Logan Ury here! Logan is a Harvard trained behavioural scientist, dating expert, author, host of Netflix’s“The Later Daters,” and Hinge's lead Relationship Scientist. Logan has spent years and years unpacking the science behind dating and finding successful relationships.

We speak about:

• The dating trends that we’re going to see in 2026
• What is chalant dating?
• Why do we want chalant dating more than what a potential future partner might earn or even look like?
• Why there seems to be a mismatch in expectations between men and women
• The toilet paper test
• The actual green flags around planning energy we should look for
• What are the ‘successful’ people doing on dating apps at the moment?
• Do you feel like you’re ‘undateable?’
• The steps you can take if you’re feeling burnout from dating
• The switch from a ‘soulmate’ mindset to a ‘work it out’ mindset
• How AI will change the dating landscape
• Summer dating trends, cuffing season and what we tend to see when it gets colder
• The most popular day of the year on dating apps is coming up really soon

To our beautiful Bondi community, to all Jewish Australians and to everyone affected we are beyond devastated by what happened last night. Because of last night's terror attack on our community there has been a change to our usual Life Uncut scheduling.

There is no place for antisemitism or violence of any kind in Australia - we stand for humanity for all.

Today, we’re joined by Konrad Benjamin, the voice behind Punter’s Politics. Punter's Politics is on a mission to cut through the political spin and convince everyday Aussies (or punters) that politics actually matters. Konrad is the guy with the blonde mullet known for calling out corporate power, and using satire to make us understand and give a shit about what’s going on in the world of politics. Today we wanted to speak about political issues affecting young people, independent vs legacy media, housing and of course, gas.

We chat:

• Konrad’s career switch from being a teacher to being a content creator
• Some of the less obvious ways that the government can be in bed with corporations
• The controversy around Aussie gas that is being given away for free
• How the media can skew your perception of political things
• Coincidence or corruption?
• Why Konrad doesn’t think you should cheer for a political team like you do for a sports team
• Why politics shouldn’t actually be complicated

Hey lifers!

It was lovely seeing all of your spotify wrappeds and every year we are surprised by how much we are able to infiltrate your ears! We think they were sneaky with how they went about ‘assuming’ your age based on your listening and Laura wants it to be clear that she is a mum and the K Pop demon hunters wasn’t her.

We know that one time we kind of pulled your leg with a ‘Britt’s big life update’ but this time we actually do have a bit of a life update for you! We chat about all of the changes coming to the podcast next year! Please welcome the offcuts!

Britt has sat on telling us all a story for nearly 3 weeks because she’s so embarrassed. In her own words “I’ve done something really stupid” and look, we don’t disagree!

Laura has been sucked into a new hyperfixation after Black Friday sales that she’s mostly confused about and doubting the claims that you will see results in 8 weeks.

We’re 2 weeks away from Christmas and with it comes an avalanche of feelings and emotions!
Tanya Hennessy recently wrote an article titled “I’m homesick for a place I can’t go.” She has a recurring feeling of homesickness and restlessness, not necessarily for a place she grew up, but for a sense of “home” that she can’t define or return to.
We speak about experiencing this feeling even when we’re in our own home or with family, reflecting a kind of existential longing rather than literal nostalgia. We also chat about how our sense of ‘home’ has changed so much over the years and at times thinking about what it means now can feel confronting.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning questions.

There are two types of people in the world - the ones who shut down their laptop and the ones who never, ever, ever do unless it runs out of battery. Further on this path, are you the type of person who has an ‘order’ that you like your tabs to be in?

Vibes and unsubscribes for the week:

Laura - Christmas trivia
Keeshia - @scotteeisfat
Britt - Allison after NXIVM from Uncover Podcast

Then we jump into your questions!

IS TAKING FOOD HOME FROM A DINNER PARTY RUDE?
I’d love your thoughts on something that happened at my annual Potluck-Style Movie Night and Dinner Party. I host this every year for 6–8 friends, and I usually provide homemade pizzas, drinks, and an appetiser. Everyone else brings a small dish or extra snacks for the movie. This year, one friend brought cheeses and crackers and told us to keep the leftovers—great! But at the end of the night, another couple (two of my closest friends) went into the fridge, took back the drinks they brought, and packed up the dessert they had made. Here’s the question: What’s the etiquette for a potluck-style dinner party? Is it rude to take home what you brought, or is that perfectly okay? For context, this couple is extremely wealthy—but maybe that doesn’t matter? I’d love to hear your take on this. Am I overthinking it, or is this a social faux pas.

I WANT SOMETHING BACK FROM MY EX
Ladies, I am in a little pickle-dickle and would love your thoughts on the route forward. Now, for context, I am a solo Mama that has recently ended a 3 year relationship with a solo Dad. We both have children of ages sentient enough to feel a loss here, so this was a well-thought through decision on my part, based on repeated avoidant patterns and lack of communication. He did not take it well and proceeded to block all communication herein. No worries, his prerogative. My conundrum is that he has a few things of mine I would like back, including a brand new motorcycle helmet I know he was envious of and is likely now using for himself and my 8 y/o’s scooter. I cannot contact him at all as far as I understand. My daughter’s father, with whom I have an excellent relationship with, has offered to message him to collect it...

However I feel that looks really petty and like I am pitting two burly dudes against each other so I politely declined. His wife also offered to reach out....again, I don’t feel great about asking someone else to do my dirty-work. What would you do? Snail mail? Show up unannounced (which I do not feel particularly safe about doing…so that is all but off the table), message one of his family members? Or cut my losses…even though I hate the fact he is very likely wearing my shiny-new helmet and giving his kids my daughter’s electric scooter.

DO I BLOW UP MY LIFE?
If you had a family that you didn’t know existed, would you want them to contact you? Genuinely, would you want your life as you know it to change forever or would you want it to remain as is? I’m grappling with this and want to hear as many perspectives as possible.
