We learned a lot of things in school that we’ve never actually needed to know in real life. Meanwhile, important things like how to nail a job interview, how to do taxes, and whether buying or renting is a better financial option were conveniently left off the curriculum.

That’s where we come in...Comedian Bec Melrose and your bestie (Em Vernem) are here to walk you through the lessons you’re too embarrassed to admit you still don’t know. So come and give us a listen. School is in session xx

After 67 episodes (14 recorded from home) The Undone is coming to an end. In this final episode, Lucy and Em reminisce on some of their favourite memories, from the funniest to the most important.

But don't worry, Lucy and Em aren't going anywhere. You can follow them on Instagram at @emilyvernem and @lucymneville to keep up with what they're up to.

Thank you to all our listeners for tuning in every week, submitting dating diary stories and confessions, and being a part of the show. We'll miss you.

'Pegging', Thanks to Married At First Sight (MAFS) is currently trending in google searches. But don't worry, we've got you sorted and we're going to save you that google search. So what is pegging and how do you start the conversation with a sexual partner around it?

Also, Em gets vulnerable with us and shares more on her vaginismus PLUS a Dating Diary of her very own. Was Em 'love bombed?'.

When you're on your period, is sex off the table for you? Or are you extra horny? There should be no stigma around period sex, but it can be daunting. So, Lucy has put together a bunch of tips to make that time of the month extra pleasurable, as well as clear up some misconceptions.

Also, Em and Lucy answer a listener dilemma from someone who's (smaller) friend called themselves 'fat' and wants them to understand why this hurt.

PLUS we read a listener's Dating Diary about a drunken date that ended with a serious dose of the ick.

This week we thought Lucy hijacked our confessions form (which you can submit to here). But it turns out the fear of running into your ex is so much more common than we thought.

And, a worthy and necessary tone shift: Em shares a story about famous Australian-Indian actor Pallavi Sharda's recent upsetting experience after being told by a hair removal salon that she had too much hair on her face and that the women working at the salon felt uncomfortable working on her. Em gives us tips on how you can be an ally and help people of colour feel accepted in Australia...

Have you ever used a dating app? While a lot of us have, some people are just getting on them for the first time (or re-downloading them). Emily and guest host Emma Gillespie discuss how to create an authentic profile, the red flags to watch out for and what to expect from the people on them.

Also, guest host Emma NEEDS to talk about an article she read recently, written by an intern in New York who was pursued by a very famous man...and whether a relationship with such a huge power imbalance can work.

PLUS Emily recounts a dating experience where she was love-bombed to the extreme, and unfortunately Emma can relate.

Emily has brought her own Dating Dilemma to this episode of The Undone, after she matched with a friend's brother on a dating app. She wants to know, is it ever ok to date your bestie's brother, or is it asking for trouble?

Also, these days it's pretty standard procedure to split the bill after the first date. But considering that the wage gap in Australia still exists, and the cost that goes into going on a date if you're a woman- is that actually fair?

Plus we read a Dating Diary from someone who was asked out by a man with a very strange request... Don't worry, we found out exactly why!

You've probably heard of your Love Language, but what about your Argument Style? According to this article, knowing how you argue could be the key to a happy relationship. Em and Luce break down the six styles PLUS how to have a healthy fight with the people in your life that you care about.

Also, according to TikTok, "Twee" is back (if you don't know what that is, think Peter Pan collars, bangs and moustaches on everything), but is there a dark side to this returning trend?

Plus, we read a dating diary story from a listener whose date ended with the most common bodily fluid we get told about on The Undone (and it's not the one you think).
