Ask Britt & Ben - The Visa Debacle, Living in Italy & How Ben Feels About Being A Plastic Bag

6/23/202651 min

Hey Lifers!
Ben is back for a bonus round because you sent in way too many questions for just one episode!
They kick things off with the reality of living together full time: Ben's answer is "we're doing fine," Britt's answer involves the phrase "truffle pig". Ben shares what it actually takes to make it as a professional footballer and whether he ever tries to get under opponents' skin. 

Ben opens up about life pre-Britt, how he knew she was the one, and the biggest fight of their marriage. They also get into the question everyone keeps sliding into the DMs: babies. Britt and Ben speak openly about their fertility journey and what it looks like from here. 

  • 0:00 — Welcome & living together full time
  • 7:15 — How to make it as a pro footballer
  • 18:10 — Getting to know Ben: languages, Aussie slang, life pre-Britt and how he knew she was the one
  • 27:18 — The biggest fight of their marriage
  • 38:28 — Babies, fertility and the IVF journey

    Ayo. [laughs] [laughs] Sorry, you handed that to me. Do you feel comfortable? You actually quite like being on here, don't you?

  22. Ben· Guest1:13

    I prefer listening to podcasts, to be fair.

  23. Brittany Hockley· Host1:15

    Do you still listen to every single episode?

  24. Ben· Guest1:18

    Yes, unless when you're here, then obviously I don't have time to listen because you're here.
