Offcuts: The HYROX Poop Scandal, Bridezilla's Contract & Your Best Petty Revenge Stories
Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend snackkk to get you through to Monday!
Quick update from the 30-day, six-second kiss challenge: it is... not going well (Matt has strong feelings about morning breath and mid-cereal ambushes).
Then it's round two of your petty revenge stories, and Lifers, you did not disappoint. From graffiti-ing a horrible ex-roommate's number on public bathroom walls, to a decade-long silent feud that ended in a very unhygienic doorstep delivery, to a groomsman's pants meeting an untimely end days before a wedding. We run through the best (and most d...
Guest Ask Uncut: Ash Wicks Getting Real on Sobriety & Solving Your Wedding Day Dramas
Look who's finally made his way into the Life Uncut studio! It's the man, the myth, the tea-towel-on-his-head legend himself, Ash Wicks, co-host of Two Doting Dads and honorary work-husband of Matty J. Ash joins Britt and Laura for this week's Guest Ask Uncut, and before they get stuck into your dilemmas, he opens up about his brand new children's book, The Secret Ingredient (out now).
We also dive into a refreshingly honest and deep chat about his journey giving up alcohol. What it felt like to "lose his best friend," the moment that made h...
Kissing for Science & The AI's Doomsday Clock
Hey Lifers!
Welcome back to your Wednesday episode, we’re going from group chat nude disasters to the actual end of the world, and somehow it all makes sense… maybe? 😂
We kick off with something suspicious happening with smartphones, before diving into a listener's mortifying story about a fitness-challenge weigh-in photo that went very, very wrong in the group chat. That spirals into a full debate on accidental nudes, a cowboy hat photo that ended a study group friendship, and the great "archived d pic" theory (girls, do you think they save them...
Ask Uncut: Is The Bride Stealing? (& Should I Sleep With My Boss!?)
Ask Uncut: The Bride is stealing from her guests and should I sleep with my boss?
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions. This week Laura's blaming Britt for her flu and we unpack the great teeth-whitening-strip disappearance mystery…
Vibes of the week:
Britt: is the Aussie boys renovating a €1 Italian house who somehow have a million followers after two months (we're obsessed)
Laura: . Britt's also got a true crime pick for you — Hedley Thomas's new series The Poisoned Wife.

Offcuts: Men Are Ditching Deodorant, Michelle Obama's Empty Nest Truth & An Open Relationship Gone Wrong
Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little snackkk to get you through to Monday!
Poppy is almost one (how?!) and Lola has entered a bold new era of toddler rage, informing Laura in no uncertain terms that she will, in fact, "kill her dead."
Then it's time for our regular check-in on what men are doing to themselves online: this week it's "pheromone maxing" (also known as: refusing to wear deodorant), and a new frontier of self-grooming madness. We are begging them to stop.
We also unpack a viral clip of Michelle Obama o...
What We Get Wrong About ADHD, Masking & AuDHD - with Dr Kieran Kennedy
Hey Lifers!
ADHD has well and truly come into the spotlight in the last few years. Diagnoses have increased substantially in the past decade. But, this surge in diagnosis hasn't necessarily come with a surge in understanding; especially for women, who are so often missed, misdiagnosed, or told it's "just anxiety". So we've brought back one of Australia's most trusted voices on mental health and neurodiversity, consultant psychiatrist and TV doctor Dr Kieran Kennedy, to break it all down.
Kieran is fresh off the release of his brand new book, This Explains Everything: A Psychiatrist's...
Raygun's Redemption, Alix v Alex & WTF is Musk?
Hey Lifers! Happy Wednesday! We’re fresh back from New Zealand (Queenstown luge races, ice-cold lake plunges and all) while Britt’s got her own laundry-based betrayal to deal with courtesy of Ben. We take a quick pause to give a shoutout to a very special dad in the Lifer family (Matt we’re looking at you), before answering Soph’s very real dilemma: How do you greet your friend’s partner for the first time without it turning into an awkward fist bump? Laura’s going rouge and talking Musk Sticks…Yep… Who actually knows what the flavour of Musk? This on...
Ask Uncut: He Invited His Ex To Our Wedding & Secret Sibling Favouritism?
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, your dark and your burning questions! Today is one of those days where we got the giggles and boy this could be one of the greatest openers of all time. We go down memory lane and find out about Britt's grandma's backyard full of pigeons (we did not see that one coming).
Vibes for the week:
Brittany – DentiPet dog toothpaste from Pet Barn
Laura – The easiest, most addictive cabbage salad recipe of all time (yes really)

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, the stuff that got left in the group chat because there just wasn't room for it in the main episode!
This week, our digital producer, Lachy, throws himself onto a live, in-person Love Is Blind-style dating show, and gives us the full debrief, jet ski confession included, plus the panicked moment he nearly sent an unsolicited message from the official Life Uncut Instagram account.
Then we get into the internet's latest obsession: a woman who turned guests away from her "creative black tie" going-away party for showing up underdressed, sparking a...
Starting Over At 36, Public Heartbreak and ‘Not Staying Stuck’ - Uncut with Rhi Disljenkovic
Hey Lifers!
Something we’ve spoken about a lot on this pod is how neither of us found the love we have now until we were well into our 30s. Every single day our DMs and inboxes are full of the same two questions. From women navigating the utter chaos of modern dating, wondering if they're doing it wrong, if they're too picky, if they've missed some invisible window. And from women sitting in relationships that are ‘fine’, not bad, just not right, but worried about having to ‘start again’ when society is telling them the clock is ticking a...
A Prophet And The Influencer Who Got A Face Lift at 33
Hey Lifers! Happy Wednesday!
If anyone’s still sore from the Sydney Marathon, props to you we’re kicking off with why Laura will never be as good as you and a little throw back from veeeery early on in the pod (does anyone remember Britt’s marathon?) Plus we get into a random prophet "prediction" and unpacking the ultimate friendship litmus test that's been going around: Would you let your best friend babysit your kids?
Then the big one. After a Byron Bay influencer with 245k followers went public about her "mini" facelift at 33, we get...
Ask Uncut: When Is Giving Your Number A Big NO, a $250K Fail & the Ex's Cat Who Won't Leave
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! This week the Facebook discussion group has well and truly been lit up over one story in particular. When is shooting your shot absolutely not okay? Britt and Laura go head-to-head with veeery different opinions on this one that might even change your own mind.
Vibes of the week:
Britt:The Scream Murders: A True Teen Horror Story on Disney+/Hulu
Laura: Instagram Trial Reels (yes really)
Then it's into your questions!

Offcuts: The Stoned Dog, a $20 Boyfriend Test & a Selfish Marathon Dad
Hey Lifers! We're back with another Off Cuts to get you through the weekend, the little snack, the bottom dwelling stuff from the group chats.
This week the girls cover a proper mixed bag. Laura chit chats about falling down the Instagram breakup video rabbit hole and if things ever went south (which they won’t, dw) whether they'd ever make one themselves.
We chat about a viral PSA about dogs getting high in the park (yep, you read that right), and the nineteen year old charging women twenty bucks to test if their boyfriend is s...
From Sleeping In A Car To 11 Billion Streams: Alex Warren Gets Real About Grief
Hey Lifers!
We have such a special one for you today. If it sounds a little different, that's because we recorded this in the green room! We'd just come off stage after interviewing Grammy-nominated, 11-billion-streamed, ten-times-platinum (here in Australia!) artist Alex Warren, live, on the night his new album Wildchild dropped.
You know Alex from "Ordinary", one of the biggest songs of the last two years, but what makes him so special isn't just the music, it's how openly he talks about what got him there. At nine, Alex lost his dad to cancer. At 16, he w...
The Missing Finger, More Possum Chat And Get To Know Producer Soph!
Hey Lifers! BIG episode, yes we’re finally diving in to who the hell is this new producer on our podcast and of course that means a classic “Accidentally Unfiltered".
But first, we kick off chatting the $1000+ "shoe" that is somehow just a heel and a prayer, and then get a little deeper: Laura opens up about a pattern of forgetting names and faces of people she absolutely should know, and the girls debate whether it's a perimenopause symptom, undiagnosed ADHD, or just the cost of running multiple businesses and a household at once.
But the ju...
Ask Uncut: Orgasms On Demand, Mysterious Nudes Heating Up The FB Group & One Very Suspicious Brother In Law
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, your dark and your burning questions. Laura kicks things off with a Facebook group confession that's got us absolutely in shock… or maybe it’s awe? We’re talking rogue orgasms and it’s wild

Hey Lifers!
We're back with another Off Cuts to get you through the weekend, the little snack to kickstart your weekend! It's Britt's birthday week, any somehow we have ended up with a 4:45pm dinner reservation (basically a late lunch 🤣)! Will we be hungry again at 8pm when we get home? Probably. Are we complaining about an early dinner? Definitely not!
We chat:
Putting the "Laura and Georgia Love feud" story to bed once and for all (thanks, Daily Mail) Andrew Tate's arrest and his supporters' bizarre push-up protest outside court A school group chat..."I Was Almost Human Trafficked in Paris” - Uncut with Djanaya Hampton
Today we're speaking to Djanaya Hampton, the Australian woman you've probably already seen going viral online. Every year, Djanaya Hampton takes herself on a solo birthday trip. It’s her own tradition, ticking off a bucket list she made years ago. It had always been safe. It had always been beautiful. Until her 29th birthday, when a night watching the sunset under the Eiffel Tower turned into hours of being followed, surrounded and hunted through the Paris metro by a group of men who were trying to traffic her.
Djanaya walks us through the entire night in re...
A Logies Haemorrhoid, Our Brand New Producer & Why "Kind Of Chic" Has The Internet Fighting
Hey Lifers!
Laura is rolling in "fresh off the Logis" (not that fresh) with a hangover she swears isn't from drinking, and a very unwelcome post-red-carpet surprise she never saw coming. We yap about the Logies and the glamorous industry who brought along a ‘she-wee’.
Then the announcement you’ve all been waiting for: please welcome Life Uncut's brand new executive producer, Sophie! Soph has some… first day of a new job trauma and we will have a proper "get to know Sophie" episode coming soon.
Britt has more of what she is calling ‘...

Uncut with Deb
Today’s episode is such a special one. You would often hear us banging on about how good the community of our life uncut discussion group is, but the story that you’re about to hear might not only make your week but also be the best example of that community we could ever imagine.
Deb has been a part of our discussion group since 2022. Back in December 2023, one of our lifers, Deb, posted in the discussion group: she was 35, single, and had just found out her egg count was below the low range. After seven rounds of IV...
Britt’s Ghost Is Back & Perez Hilton The Dark Side of Going Live
Hey Lifers!
We kick off with a deep and extremely necessary debate about jean-washing frequency (there is a day, and you know the day), plus Britt's new favourite purchase that solves the dreaded camel toe problem. Then Britt drags Laura back into ghost territory with fresh evidence her house is haunted, courtesy of her very unsettled dog, Delilah.
From there we get into the new rom-com everyone's talking about: a woman builds herself the perfect husband out of rattan, and the internet cannot get enough. It's got us talking about the viral dating trend taking o...

Offcuts: Nun Girl Summer, Annie Knight's AFL Revenge & The Pitch Deck Email
Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, the stuff that got left in the group chat because there just wasn't room for it in the main episode!
Lola is in her recorder era and Laura no longer has a need for an alarm clock!
This week we yap about:
TikTok has declared 2026 the year of "nun girl summer.” We get into why choosing to be single feels so different for this generation compared to a decade ago. Then things get messy in AFL land.

Uncut with Julia Morris
Hey Lifers!
Today's guest has to be one of the most recognisable personalities in Australian entertainment. It’s TV host, comedian, five-time Gold Logie nominee and, until this year, the queen of the jungle herself, Julia Morris.
After 12 years hosting I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, Julia found out the show wouldn't be returning to its old network and she joined us fresh off processing that huge identity shift. We get her Accidentally Unfiltered story (a very unfortunate wrong recipient text sent the night before the Gold Logies), what actually goes on behind the sce...
Britt's Fertility Update & The Ariana Grande Conversation We've Been Avoiding
Hey Lifers!
Do you like adventure or did you also pretend? Britt kicks things off with the story of the time she nearly lost her fingers on a bungee jump, which sends Laura down memory lane to her own bungee-related panic attack and the moment she realised she might not be as "adventurous" as she thought; cue a chat about being a bit of a relationship chameleon over the years.
Britt then shares a personal update on her fertility and IVF journey and news about what's next for her and Ben. Laura shares the terrifying...

Laura's kid just smashed 100 days of school (in the cutest granny costume you've ever seen), and we're diving into fantasy coffins; literal works of art you can be buried in. Penis-shaped or otherwise. We unpack Chelsea Handler's now-infamous, ultra-detailed family vacation manifesto and whether it's fair to publicly shame your own family for content. Then we get into Usher's dismissive, borderline-childish reaction to a fan who didn't want to be grinded on at...
Told She'd Never Walk, Talk, or Live. Then She Won Gold at the Paralympics - Uncut with Alexa Leary
This week we sat down with Alexa Leary; two-time Paralympic gold medallist, world record holder, and author of Sink or Swim. You might know her as Lex. You definitely know that viral clip of her dancing in Paris. In 2021, Lex was 19 and training to be a professional triathlete when a cycling accident left her with one of the most severe traumatic brain injuries Royal Brisbane Hospital had ever seen. She wasn't supposed to survive. She had seven brain operations. Doctors told her family twice to come and say goodbye. Three years later, she broke the world record in Paris.<...
The Most Divisive Voice Memo We've Ever Heard & Keeshia's Emotional Send-Off

Britt's off-the-shoulder wardrobe malfunction nearly gives poor Lachy a heart attack, the girls compare their infamous "keyword" notes, and we unpack the great Butter Yellow Instagram takeover of 2026 (and how the algorithm knows exactly which conspiracy theory to serve you next). There's also a deep dive into the emergency alert conspiracy rabbit hole, and a quiche-making disaster.
Then it's time to say goodbye. We take a walk down memory lane through five and a half years of Keeshia, from the 40...

Hey Lifers!
Surprise! Britt is BACK! Keeshia is filling in for Laura this week while she enjoys the school holidays, and the girls waste no time getting into it: the bonus episodes with Ben that had half of you sliding into Britt's DMs to check if she was okay! We have an honest chat about why some things are easier to talk about from a scar than a wound.
Then - the trolls were right. After nearly 4 months straight with Ben (the longest stretch they've EVER spent together), Britt discovered something about her husband on...
