Life Uncut

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 only follows Channing Tatum, only compliments Channing Tatum and allegedly throws shade at his exes. Is it actually him? We revisit our own Raya walks of shame along the way, plus a confession or two about our own ex-stalking burner account eras.

Then the big one. Off the back of cancelling on one of her closest friends' birthdays this weekend, Laura opens up about something that's been sitting heavy: the realisation that in this season of life, the thing quietly losing out is friendship. It’s a bit of an emotional one, very open and vulnerable, and we ask what else are we sacrificing in life to just stay afloat?

Also this week: we got a billboard! An actual, real, just-us billboard, and we're flying to Melbourne to go stand in front of it. Plus Suck and Sweet, including a very validating one-year-old niece situation.

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 has the group chat divided, and the etiquette minefield of ditching your friend's new beauty business.
Vibes of the week:
Britt – The Dropout on Disney+ (rewatch this before the new Elizabeth Holmes doco drops!)
Laura – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer
Then it's into your questions!
Q1: MY PARTNER SLEEPS NAKED AND DOES A 2AM POO THEN GETS BACK INTO BED
My partner sleeps naked, I do not. That's absolutely his choice and I'm fine with it. But he has a middle-of-the-night routine where he needs the bathroom for a poo, most nights around 2-3am, and then he gets straight back into bed with his bare bum on the sheets, post-poo. Is it ridiculous and immature for me to feel grossed out by this? Do I need to just get over it?
Q2: MY BOSS KEEPS TAKING CREDIT FOR MY IDEAS
I think my boss takes credit for my ideas in meetings. I've pitched two big ideas this year that got genuine traction, and both times my manager has presented them to senior leadership as his own thinking, with me sitting right there. I'm early in my career and don't want to torch the relationship, but I don't want to spend the next five years being invisible either. Do I talk to him about it, or go over his head?
Q3: WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR WINDOW SEAT FOR A PREGNANT MUM WITH A TODDLER?
On a flight from Sydney to Queenstown, myself, my husband and our 17-month-old (plus 31 weeks pregnant me) had two seats between the three of us, while a woman in front had an entire row of three to herself. I asked if she'd swap so we could have the row while she kept an empty seat beside her, she said no, she wanted the window. Were we entitled for even asking, or have we lost the instinct to simply help someone out?
Q4: MY FRIEND STARTED A BROW BUSINESS BUT I DON'T LIKE IT AND WANT TO GO BACK TO MY OLD GIRL
A very good friend of mine recently started a small beauty business from home and I am so proud of her, but I don't actually like the way she does my brows. I gave her another chance recently because I want to support her, and I still don't love the results; I feel it's undoing years of work from my usual brow girl. How do I go back to my old place without hurting her feelings or making her think I don't support her?

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 deranged) of what you sent in.
We also unpack a viral 15-point bridesmaid contract that's been doing the rounds, covering everything from banned weight gain to mandatory sobriety, and try to figure out if this bride is joking… or dead serious.
Then, the story that has completely taken over our algorithm this week: a High Rocks world champion who had a full, uncontrollable bowel accident mid-competition — and kept going to take out the win. We get into the internet's brutal reaction, whether the rules needed to change, and if a title is really worth it at the cost of your dignity.
We close out with the viral "plane breastfeeding" video that sparked outrage worldwide… before it turned out to be completely fake. We talk about rage bait, media literacy, and why fake outrage does more harm than good to real conversations.

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 him hold himself accountable, and how it changed his marriage to April. Naturally, he also shares the pettiest hill he'll die on (and this could be a make or break in the marriage).

In this episode, we cover:

Ash's brand new kids' book, The Secret Ingredient, and the very relatable daycare-app rage that inspired it
Why family dinners matter more than we give them credit for
Ash's pettiest hill: being called out to another room instead of someone just... walking in
Going alcohol-free: what pushed Ash to stop drinking, and why summer was the "dumbest" time to start
The moment Ash realised how much of himself he wasn't giving his family
Grieving alcohol like "losing a best friend," and why sobriety is a daily fight, not a finish line
How going public and being held accountable changed things — and how it's impacted his marriage

Then it's time to solve some life problems:

Q1: "I found out my husband hasn't surfed in two years, but he still says he's going for a surf." Every Saturday for two years he grabbed his board and disappeared for three hours… Turns out he's just sitting in the car park drinking coffee and scrolling on his phone. Should I tell him I knows, or catch him out?

Q2: "My husband didn't cry during our wedding vows." I expected at least a little emotion walking down the aisle ( he cries at every movie where an animal dies) but didn't shed a tear on their wedding day. Am I overreacting?

Q3: "I found out my boyfriend goes to a specific cafe, not for the coffee, but because of the hot waitress." I’m the only one in the friend group who didn't know. Should I bring it up, and how?

Q4: "My husband is addicted to screens and it really bothers me." Married ten years, three kids & if it's not the PlayStation, it's the iPad, phone or computer. How do I handle this without ending the relationship?

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 down?).

Then we get into it: Apparently the average goodbye kiss lasts less than a second, but science says six seconds is the magic number for connection. So… I guess we now all have a 30-day kissing challenge? There's also a very funny detour into New Zealand vs Australian vocab (RIP to Ben, who spent a whole afternoon believing Melbourne had built a public "birthing" pontoon), a Jason Momoa red carpet encounter that still haunts Soph to this day,

And then we get into the deep stuff. How far do you you push your kids to build resilience? What’s the balance and how do we know if we’re being too soft as a society, or maybe it’s a good thing? Then we unpack the AI thread that's taken over everyone's feed this week: a former Anthropic/OpenAI researcher publicly warning AI could "kill us all by 2030”. It's a heavy, important conversation about accountability, regulation and what (if anything) the average person can actually do about it.

We close it out gently with our sweets for the week and phewww that was a big one (also you’re welcome for leaving the off mic moment there in the middle… if you enjoyed it let us know hahah).
Go join the Facebook discussion group if you haven't already, that's where all the good stuff goes down.
