Life Uncut

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. A dad's public comment on Annie Knight's post spirals into a full-blown scandal involving a locker room dance video.
We debate whether Robert Irwin's Bonds campaign really was "just for the animals."
There's a viral pitch deck a guy sent a girl over email that might be the most iconic slide of all time.
And we close out with the story of a seven-year-old boy's birthday letter to his dad in heaven, and the Royal Mail worker who wrote back.

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 scenes in the South African jungle, and how redesigning her life. “Adapt or Die” she says. And hate clean!
Julia also gets real with us about leaving a 16-year marriage, realising she'd been in a controlling relationship, and how being diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s helped explain patterns she'd never noticed. She talks candidly about "the great unfucking" of perimenopause and redesigning her whole life with her friends and being a mum to older girls.
And because we are absolutely not impartial: Julia is up for her fifth Gold Logie nomination this year, and we want her to win it. Link to vote is HERE

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 scare she had with her dog Buster last week, a health emergency that had her fearing the worst, and a reminder to always trust your gut when it comes to your pets.
Last week we (somehow) ended up speaking about ‘sex lists’ and the strange names we all attribute to some of our ‘experiences.’ Today we share some of your funniest sex lists!

Next up, we have a conversation that we've gone back and forth on having for a long time: Ariana Grande. Off the back of the release of her new music video "Petal" and the absolute onslaught of commentary about her body, we unpack where the line sits between genuine concern, public shaming, and who actually bears responsibility in moments like this.
Content warning: This episode contains a discussion of eating disorders and disordered eating. If this is triggering for you or you'd like to speak to someone, you can call the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673, or visit butterfly.org.au.

Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Before we get into it, Britt has a story that will not be leaving her brain any time soon. Delilah went out for her last toilet break of the night and came back with an uninvited passenger.
Vibes of the week:
Britt — Abel Ceramics
Laura — Feel Better Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee: "The Daily Habits That Protect Your Brain at Any Age" with Dr David Perlmutter
Then it's into your questions!
HOW FAR DO I TAKE THE NAKED POLAROID TREND?
I'm getting married in September and my partner loves the trend where bridesmaids slip cheeky Polaroids to the groom on the wedding day. My question is: how far are we taking this? I'm all for a cheeky photo, but what if a naked photo of me falls out of his jacket pocket and is seen by a family member? Do I make them too explicit, or should they be more covered up? It's a little wild to have them at an event where everyone I know is there. If it gets picked up by the wrong person, they'll know exactly who it is.
MY FRIEND IS A MASSIVE TIGHT ASS
We're a group of friends, and one particular friend is always the tight ass. Small things like not paying you back for weeks, only splitting the bill if she's had more drinks than everyone else, always rounding down when we transfer money. Recently she organised a group activity and we figured out she actually profited off our contributions. How do we bring this up? Is it worth it, or do I just slowly moonwalk out of the friendship? She's definitely not struggling financially, she just has always been tight.
HOW DO I FIND A GUY WITHOUT BEING A STALKER?
About a year and a half ago, my ex's friend asked me out and I said no. It was too soon, too close to home. I recently ran into him at his workplace and realised I'd actually like to go on a date with him now. I know he's single, but he's not on social media, I don't have his number, and I can't exactly show up at his work without looking desperate. How do I ask him out or spontaneously meet him?
SHOULD I TELL MY BOYFRIEND HE'S ESSENTIALLY PAYING OFF MY MORTGAGE?
I bought my apartment five years ago and only have about $80K left on the mortgage. My boyfriend is moving in, and since we'd be paying $400 a week each if we were renting, that's what I've asked him to contribute. The catch is my mortgage is interest-only and only costs $300 a month. So his contribution is basically paying it off super fast, and I haven't told him how little is actually left. I don't think it's unfair, since he'd pay the same renting anyway. What should I do?"

Welcome to Offcuts, where we chat about whatever piqued our interest this week in a light, fun little package to send you off on your weekend! 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 his concert. And finally, the manager’s "one week's notice" gastro group chat text that's gone properly viral.
We chat:
Lola's 100 days of school granny costume 👵

Chelsea Handler's viral 9-page family vacation manifesto
