Life Uncut

Hey Lifers!

Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!

Laura reveals something she’s been noticing lately (and no it’s not Britt’s baby boobs) and we want to know if anyone else has heard it…

Vibes of the week:

Britt – Believe Me, the four-part British true crime drama about London’s black cab driver case and the women who weren’t believed....

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend schneck! 

First up, we go behind the scenes of last week's pregnancy announcement, including how it actually went down on camera, who was in on the secret ahead of time, and why Laura completely zoned out and missed the whole thing live (we promise it's funnier than it sounds).

Then, a viral video from Bundaberg, Queensland has taken over the internet: a giant inflatable nutc...

Content warning: This episode discusses postpartum psychosis, suicide and the death of children. If that's not something you're in the space to hear right now, please skip this one and look after yourself. Support services are listed at the bottom of these notes.

Hey Lifers. Today's episode is a heavier one, and it's a little different to our usual Friday chats.

So many of you have been following the Lindsay Clancy case, and it's c...

Hey Lifers!

Welcome back to your Wednesday episode! We did try to start this one eight minutes earlier, but we accidentally talked about New Zealand for the fourth week in a row, (so this is take two.)

Laura's just back from five days on Magnetic Island visiting her dad, and she paints the full picture: koalas in the trees, rock wallabies, a thousand locals, and a self-described "island of misfits" that turns out to be absolutely f...

Hey Lifers!

Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Life Unlocked has been live for four whole days and it's already turning into a fun little community. Now we just need to work out what to call you all, so jump in and cast your vote!

Then Britt has a confession. "Spa night" with Ben is usually a very romantic affair: lights dimmed, mood lamp on, Britt face down getting a massag...

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend schneck! 

First up: Sydney is being absolutely swarmed by bogong moths right now, and Britt’s done a deep dive into the science of why (spoiler: it's a wind-blown migration, not the apocalypse).

Then, the big one: Taylor Swift dropped four new songs, and while Patient Zero is on repeat everywhere, her track Cleveland has copped brutal backlash online, with critics sayin...

Hey Lifers!

We have such a special one for you today. If it sounds a little different, that's because we recorded this in Benson Boone's room (yes, he invited us up!). And if you're wondering why Britt is flying solo for the intro, it's because Benson was SUCH a vibe that we spent half our time just chatting and laughing, the interview ran way over, and Laura had to sprint off for kid pick-up.

You know Benson from "Beautiful Things...

Hey Lifers!

Britt has come armed with content this week, and it might be the thing that finally gets her cancelled. A spontaneous detour to Centennial Park, a helpless baby bird, and a pet-napping scandal... Plus Laura has stepped off a four-day cruise and straight into the studio, still swaying. She tells us about sea legs, and sober 11am karaoke in front of the breakfast buffet crowd. (Yes we get podcast karaoke too).

Then...

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions!

Something is coming… and for two people who have NEVER teased anything in seven years (we're too disorganised and do everything last minute), we're officially in our breadcrumb era. We've dropped one very Matilda-coded hint, and all will be revealed on Wednesday, so make sure you're listening!

Vibes of the week:

Laura...

Hey Lifers! 

Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend snackkkk!

This week, Laura's seven-year-old daughter Marlie Mae has started writing her debut novel… working title: Sweet or Death… and we try to figure out whether we should be concerned or proud.

Then, we're forced to confront a horrifying truth: we are, technically, in our midlife. A viral Instagram list has us running through the tell-tale signs of a m...

Hey Lifers!

Currently, 874 million women worldwide rely on modern contraception to prevent pregnancy. So today we're asking the question so many of us have had: why is that responsibility shouldered so heavily by women, and where are the men?

We're joined by journalist and documentary filmmaker Billie JD Porter, whose new documentary It's Different For Girls looks at why contraception has been treated as almost entirely a woman...

Hey Lifers! Happy Wednesday! Before we even get going, Britt's got something that she’s been holding on to just for the pod and it’s got us all nervous… Then it's into an Accidentally Unfiltered for the ages: a Lifer accidentally sends the least sexy nude in human history and it’s even worse than you could possibly imagine.

We get into the internet's latest obsession, an account called "Bidness_Nonya" that...

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Britt kicks things off fresh from a stranger's wedding, yes, she crashed one for work and cried the whole way through (obviously). Before the girls get into their vibes of the week and then straight into it: Naked sleepers with questionable bathroom habits, a boss who won't stop stealing the credit, a plane seat stand-off that ha...

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 silen...

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 d...

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 nud...

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 ...

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 se...

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 psychiatri...
