• Ask Uncut - Shared Toothbrushes Are NOT a Relationship Milestone & A Heartbreak That Came Out of Nowhere 31.05.2026 49min

  Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Vibes of the week: Britt - Imperfect Women on Apple TV+  Laura - Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart on Netflix  Keeshia - Kylie on Netflix Then it's into your questions! Q1: MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN USING MY TOOTHBRUSH. REGULARLY. Six months in, she catches her boyfriend putting her toothbrush back in the holder. He casually says, "I thought we were at that stage." She was so shocked she didn't react. Now she has the biggest ick of her life and doesn't know how to bring it up. Q2: OUR FRIENDS COPIED OUR ENTIRE RENOVATION After years of work, late nights, and an enormous amount of emotional labour, her renovation is done and she loves it. Then her friends started their reno, asked a lot of very specific questions — and have now copied the whole thing. Right down to the tiles, stones and room colours. Her husband doesn't see the issue. She does. Q3: I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE SECRETLY RICH AND HIDING IT FROM MEEight months in, she loves him and can see a future with him. But he's weirdly intense about splitting everything to the dollar and she's accidentally seen investment account balances, a large transfer, and a land tax invoice on his kitchen bench. He's never mentioned any of it. Q4: FIANCE BROKE OFF ENGAGEMENT AFTER ‘FALLING OUT OF LOVE’They'd been together four years, engaged for one. Both mid-20s. This was her first relationship and therefore her first heartbreak. He told her he'd been dealing with doubts internally for months before finally saying he'd fallen out of love and ending the engagement. She moved back home to her mum's. They've had three weeks of no contact and it's killing her. She still loves him and wants to know: can people fall back in love?

• Offcuts - The Nom Noms Are *Temporarily Gone, Plus Ones Are Banned & The Enhanced ‘Drug’ Olympics 29.05.2026 48min

  Hey Lifers! Welcome back to your weekend treat. The nom nom nom discourse is real, it is divisive, and the feedback has been received. Laura is personally victimised. We will poll you. Then we get into it: Taylor Swift is getting married and there’s plus one drama. We ask if wedding guests have a right to feel hurt when their partner doesn't make the cut? A woman on TikTok cried on camera because 39 children took over the pool and hot tub at her hotel; a hotel she specifically chose for the pool and hot tub. You can hire a woman for $500 to turn up to your funeral. It’s petty, but it’s also impactful. The Enhanced Games just wrapped up in Las Vegas. We speak about legal doping, $1 million prize pools, and Aussie Olympic swimmer James Magnussen throwing himself back in a decade after his Olympic career ended. Did anyone break any records? Is the IOC being petty? Should the Olympics just pay their athletes more? We get into all of it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — The nom nom nom saga 7:56 — Taylor Swift's wedding: no venue on the invites, no plus ones, and is Blake even invited? 21:16 — Woman goes viral crying over 39 kids taking over the hotel pool and hot tub 30:57 — The $500 funeral mourner: arrives in a limo, cries, disappears  39:49 — The Enhanced Games: legal doping, $1 million prize pools, and it just happened in Vegas   You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Produced by Keeshia Pettit Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

• Britt Almost Got Deported & Did Katie Price's Husband Fake His Own Kidnapping? 26.05.2026 1h 3min

  Hey Lifers! We come to you today after 2.5 hours of technical chaos. Britt nearly got deported from Italy. With ten days until she legally had to leave the country, Ben revealed he had not, in fact, sorted the visa that he was meant to.  Laura's baby Poppy had what we are calling an incident involving the family dog Buster and sensory play. Buster was mortified. Poppy was unbothered.  There's also a Slimy Rock Johnson update. The garden snail that Marlie Mae brought home five weeks ago, that half of you were very invested in, has been ceremonially released to the garden after Laura quietly became the only one caring for him.  Then the story that has been living rent-free in our heads for two weeks. Katie Price, UK glamour model, national treasure of chaos, recently married a man named Lee Andrews after knowing him for approximately two days. Lee lives in Dubai. Lee is allegedly a billionaire. Lee has photos with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian that are so obviously photoshopped you will need to sit down. Multiple women have come forward saying Lee is a serial romance scammer who took significant amounts of money. A Texan nurse lost over £123,000. His previous fiancée is apparently wearing the same ring Katie now has. Lee was supposed to fly to the UK to appear live on Good Morning Britain to prove he could leave the country and instead called Katie from the airport to say he was being bundled into a white van and cable-tied. He has been "kidnapped" ever since.We unpack the whole unhinged saga including Katie’s particularly interesting timing to be doing CBD gummy ads. We speak about tactics that romance scammers use like ‘future faking’ and the ‘double trauma’ that victims of romance scams experience. Britt also has some personal experience with why people might not listen when someone tries to warn you.

• Ask Uncut - I Called Off The Wedding 6 Weeks Before. Do I Keep My Dress and Ring? 24.05.2026 41min

  Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! We kick things off with Britt's very public apology to an unnamed language app she accused of scamming her last week. Spoiler: she wasn't scammed. She just used the wrong email. She's back on track to becoming fluent in Italian. Vibes of the week:Britt - Olivia's House podcastKeeshia - Mac Locked Kiss Ink 24 Hour Lip Colour Laura - The Crash on Netflix   Then it's into your questions! IS IT A BAD IDEA TO SLEEP WITH MY EX'S MATE? My ex and I were together for 9 years. The last couple of years were pretty rough. I officially left in September 2025 but didn’t move out straight away. We briefly got back together over December/January for about 5 weeks, but I knew it wasn’t right. I moved out properly in February. We have 2 kids together, and I have them 100% of the time.Anyway, I jumped on Tinder the other night because, honestly, a girl has needs. I came across one of his friends. They used to be really close, but over the last couple of years they barely talk anymore.I always thought he was attractive but obviously never acted on it. We ended up matching and started talking, and we agreed it would just be a one night thing. Neither of us would ever tell my ex, and I genuinely don’t think he would either; he’s not the drama type. So… is this a terrible idea? I’ll probably do it anyway because I trust him, already know him, and find him attractive. Also, I haven’t been with anyone else in almost 10 years, so I’m feeling every emotion right now. DO I KEEP MY WEDDING DRESS AND RING? (CALLED OFF THE WEDDING)I called off my wedding in March last year with 6 weeks to go. However, my fiance and I remained together and tried to work on the relationship. After a year of giving it everything, I finally decided that I could no longer continue the relationship and asked him to move out in March this year. I bought my beautiful wedding dress and also selected and paid for my own ring. My question is, would you keep the wedding dress so you can one day wear it, or is the dress now "tainted" and it's better to sell and buy a new one (if I had another wedding with a different guy). Also, given I paid for the wedding ring, is it weird to wear it on a different hand (like an occasional ring), or is that too sad? IS IT THE NORM TO TELL NEWS PUBLICLY ON SOCIALS SAME TIME AS YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS?Over the past couple of years, I’ve had a few close friends go through major life milestones like engagements, pregnancies and the birth of a baby, and the way that I’ve found out is through Instagram… at the same time as everyone else. I know nobody owes anyone private access to their news, but for me personally, if I had huge life news, I’d instinctively tell my closest friends privately before posting it publicly. So now I’m wondering, is this just the new norm or is this weird and am I justified in feeling a little hurt by it? I also never know whether it’s something worth bringing up with them, or if that just makes it seem bigger than it needs to be.  MY EX CRIED AFTER WE HAD SEX. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? I have an unusual one for you. For context, I was with my partner for a little over a year when we broke up. Now, I recently slept with him after eight months of no contact. And to be honest, it was incredible. But then something happened. He cried immediately after. I don't actually know what this means and I'm too scared to ask. It has been ten days now since the crying sex. What should I do?    TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Britt's apology 1:55 — Vibes of the week 7:52 — Q1: Is it a bad idea to sleep with your ex's mate? 19:48 — Q2: Do I keep my wedding dress and ring after calling it off six weeks out? 26:22 — Q3: Is it normal to find out your friends are engaged/pregnant on Instagram? 36:52 — Q4: My ex cried immediately after we had sex — what does it mean?

• Groomed And Abused Daily By His Step Mother. Then He Changed the Law - Uncut with Harrison James 21.05.2026 1h 9min

  Harrison James is an award-winning activist, author, and co-founder of the national law reform campaign #YourReferenceAintRelevant. Before all of that, he was a 13-year-old boy who became a victim of abuse that no child should ever experience. After his parents separated, Harri moved in with his father at 13, seeking connection and a fresh start. What followed was years of grooming and sexual abuse at the hands of his stepmother; abuse that resulted in a pregnancy, a daughter Harri was forced to call his sister, and a web of silence and shame that nearly cost him his life. Harri has since channelled that pain into something extraordinary. His #YourReferenceAintRelevant campaign,which he co-founded with fellow survivor Jarad Grice, has now driven legislative change across multiple jurisdictions, abolishing the use of good character references in the sentencing of convicted sex offenders. He's also the author of Transform Your Pain into Purpose, a part-memoir, part-practical guide for survivors and advocates. We chat: The turbulent household Harri grew up in and why his parents' divorce made him so vulnerable How grooming actually works and why it looks exactly like love and care to a child who's starved of both The moment Harry's dad walked in on the abuse and did nothing What it was like to be a 15-year-old boy secretly caring for his own baby daughter while calling her his sister The day his stepmother fled to the Philippines  How Harry ended up at a mental health facility at 19, and why that saved his life His first experience of good character references: watching them being read aloud at his own father's DV sentencing Why good character references are not just unfair they're the very thing that enables abuse to happen in the first place The long, politically complicated road to law reform, and what's still left to do Harry's partner Bella, their unexpected love story, and the baby girl they're expecting You can follow Harrison on Instagram @itsharrijames You can get Transform Your Pain into Purpose at all good bookstores.

• Shoe Gate 2026 - "Bethenny Frankel Is a Weirdo" And We’re Questioning The Expectations Of Influencers 19.05.2026 51min

  Hey Lifers! Have we been scammed by Meta? Britt is trying to learn Italian but she’s faced some hurdles! We talk about Meta ad scams and the great bot clear out of 2026. Laura shares a story about… how do we encapsulate this?? a reformer Pilates machine, a spread eagle and someone who shouldn’t have been there to see it. We also talk about a new phase of parenting that Laura has entered: her kids have worked out how to play Matt and Laura off against each other. How do you get back on the same page when your kids have found the gap? Shoe Gate 2026. An influencer fight that none of us should care about as much as we do. Here's the timeline: Female founder Lexi Ioannou (daughter of Real Housewives' Dina Manzo) sent a pair of shoes from her brand Nou to Bethenny Frankel. Bethenny wore them multiple times but never tagged the brand. However, when a follower directly asked where the shoes were from, Bethenny linked an affiliate dupe instead. Lexi posted a now-viral callout video. Bethenny said that she did this because the shoes were sold out and that would annoy her followers, and that Lexi has played the ‘short game’ and has some business lessons to learn. We unpack both sides: the value of celebrity endorsement even without a tag, whether the exchange is ‘fair’, whether the affiliate link is the villain, and what it means when a small female-founded brand watches their product get replaced with a paid link.  TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Britt's in Italy and may have been scammed by a language app 9:16 Laura's nanny situation and the thing she shouldn’t have seen 16:00 New parenting phase: the kids are playing mum and dad off against each other 25:19 Shoe Gate 2026: Bethenny Frankel, Lexi Ioannou and the affiliate dupe 49:46 Suck and sweet of the week You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Hosted by Britt Hockley & Keeshia Pettit  Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

• Ask Uncut - Zero Libido, Forgotten Grandkids and Absent Husbands 17.05.2026 59min

  Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning dilemmas!There’s some very spicy questions going down in our facebook group and most of it is done using nicknames. We need to poll if you want us to keep the nicknames or not!Vibes and UnsubscribesBritt - Unsubscribe from non Aussie actor being used in APEXVibe - Should I Marry A Murderer? on NetflixKeeshia - @jeromecooksfoodLaura - Yuka App  Then we jump into your questions! TRANSACTIONAL W*NKSo I listened to today’s episode when you asked who is wanking their partner off without sex?! The answer is me. I am doing that and have been for many years! My husband and I have been together for 10 years and he often asks for a wank so casually as if he is asking me to put the kettle on. I don’t even pretend to be in the mood, it almost just feels like a transaction and I have told him this, it doesn’t seem to bother him.  For context, we both have very mismatching libidos. I wouldn’t say he wants sex a lot, probably just the normal amount, but I literally never want it. It comes up as a problem regularly in our relationship but we never seem to do anything about it. I have floated the idea of how he would feel about an open relationship if he feels his needs are not being met but he won’t entertain the idea. I also have said he has 2 perfectly good hands if he wants to sort himself out but that doesn’t work either! I have told him I just don’t enjoy sex and I would happily go the rest of my life without it. I’m never satisfied and I just give in to satisfy him but leaves me feeling icky like I’m just pretending. I never orgasm. Both alone and together we have tried using toys but still no joy! Sorry for the long message but would appreciate any advice to help me stop a lifetime of transactional wanks! GRANDPARENTS DON’T CARE ABOUT MY KID, THEIR 9TH GRAND CHILDMy parents aren't really interested in being grandparents anymore, or that is how it feels. I am the youngest child in my family, when my siblings had children, especially the first 2 my parents were besotted, they saw them everyday, took photos, and showered them with affection. My son is the 9th grandchild and it just feels like they are over it, nothing is exciting or new. They never ask about him, they don't ask for photos, they have never offered to mind him. He is beautiful and well behaved most of the time. They are older now and both have health issues, my sister is also a single mom and they have given her a lot of support. I just spent a week at home and I barely saw them. I am starting to feel very resentful toward my siblings even though it's not their fault. I don't feel like I can say anything but I just feel so sad about it. I don't have one but I am finding motherhood so lonely. My husband's parents have passed and it is really hitting me that we won't have support. Has anybody else been through this? I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MY BROTHERS DESTINATION WEDDING - AM I BEING A BRAT OR REASONABLE?My brother is getting married next year and it’s a destination wedding on a tropical island, but the wedding is the day before my 30th birthday. I know a wedding is obviously a way bigger deal than a birthday, and I’m not expecting everyone to make it about me. But turning 30 feels like a big milestone, and I already know my actual birthday will probably just become the recovery day after his wedding. Because it’s mostly siblings and friends going, I also probably won’t even have my parents with me on the day. What makes it worse is that I’m doing a Master’s, working in a hospital, and completing specialist training, so I’m already flat out. The wedding is also one month before my specialist written exam, so the timing feels awful. I feel guilty saying this, but I genuinely don’t want to go. Am I being a brat, or is this understandable? And how do I tell my brother and family without causing huge drama?For more context, this won’t be my brother’s only wedding. They’re also having a bigger wedding back home with our extended family and all the older relatives, so it’s not like I’d be missing the wedding altogether. Part of why I feel so torn is that this island wedding is mostly made up of the bride’s friends and people from her side. On my brother’s side, it’s really just one of his high school best mate, me, and one cousin he’s close with. So if I don’t go, I honestly feel like there’ll barely be anyone there for him from our side, and that makes me feel really guilty. At the same time, I know I’d probably feel so out of place. Her friends and family are all very glamorous, influencer-type people, and I’m just really not that kind of person. I’m pretty low-key, I barely wear makeup, and I’m not into partying or drinking, so a destination wedding like this just isn’t something I’m excited about at all. I’m also worried that if I do go, I’ll be uncomfortable the entire time and it’ll show all over my face. I really don’t want to bring that energy to his wedding, which almost makes me feel like not going would be better than showing up and clearly not wanting to be there. I’d really love to know what you girls think, because I genuinely can’t tell if I’m being selfish or if this is a fair thing to be so torn over. Thank you so much for reading this and for always helping people make sense of life’s messier situations, it really means a lot. PARTNER HAS TOO MANY HOBBIESMy fiancé, the father of our two children (7 and 4 months old) is a rather social butterfly. He is often out at the pub, fishing, surfing, checking the surf and working 5 days a week on top of that. He very rarely plans anything in advance; it's commonly spontaneous (especially fishing and surfing as its condition based). I feel so frustrated with him as he is out living his life like he’s a bachelor. I try to set a time for him to come home. He’s ALWAYS late anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. I ask him to come home to help with the children and it’s always met with a “yep soon” and that’s always anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. It drives me crazy! When I speak to him about my frustrations and concern about him being out more than he's spending time with his family he meets me with a “well I’m here now and because I want to be” but I feel like he doesn’t. Like if I didn’t ask or set a time he wouldn’t be home for hours! He spends up to 6 -10 hours at a time with his mates at the pub or out doing other stuff with them…is this normal? Am I crazy?

• Offcuts - The AI Boyfriend, Cadaver Fat & Why We All Just Want To Be Bored Again 15.05.2026 48min

  Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend nom nom nom nom 🎙️ We kick things off with Keeshia finally receiving the long-awaited Santa sacks of Laura's hand-me-downs only to discover Laura accidentally donated a brand new alpaca shirt she never even wore. With the security tag still on it.  A bloke went viral after using Claude AI to be his girlfriend's boyfriend for two weeks while she was in Bali — morning texts, good night messages, inside jokes, weather updates, the lot. He even coded in a jealousy function.  Next, the "ghost lift" — the cosmetic procedure where surgeons are harvesting fat, skin and rib cartilage from cadavers to inject into the living. Bigger lips, chiselled jaws, breast augmentation. All from dead people. PSA 📣 If you're in Australia, you can no longer register as an organ donor on your driver's licence — you now have to sign up separately at Donate Life  Denmark has officially banned the cry-it-out sleep method, backed by 700 psychologists who say the neuroscience is clear. Laura shares what it was really like in the trenches with Lola, and we discuss what this means for exhausted parents everywhere. Australia is revoking passports of parents who owe child support and an Aussie dad who went viral after being pulled aside by the AFP at the airport before his Bali holiday with his fiancée did not get the sympathy he was looking for.  And finally, we came across a survey of a million women in their 30s asking what they miss about life before the internet. We get into phone use at dinner, always being contactable, the pressure to learn every AI tool before you get left behind, and why we all just want to be properly bored again.

Last weekend I found out he's been living a double life and I caught him via a hiking app. I went full NYPD and connected the evidence back two years. I know I'm the other woman. Do I go along with it, end it, or go nuclear and detonate his entire life? MY EX STARTED GOING TO THE GYM AFTER WE BROKE UP AND I'M FURIOUS For four years I could not get this man to take a 20-minute walk. I suggested the gym approximately 100 times. He said he "just wasn't a gym person." He absolutely is a gym person. He was just not a gym person for me. Do I message him about it? I'M THINKING ABOUT STARTING AN ONLYFANS BUT I'M SCARED I'm 26, working as a DJ, and financially it just makes sense. The thing stopping me isn't the content itself it's what other people might think.

• What the Michael Jackson Biopic Doesn't Want You to Remember 12.05.2026 57min

  Hey Lifers!  Keeshia is back from Bali. If you go on leave, do you want your work team to miss you? Surely we all come back and want to hear how much we are needed! 😂 Happy belated Mother’s Day! Did you celebrate with your own mum or the mother of your children? Nick Cannon most certainly let his thoughts around mother’s day known. We talk about the very online debate over whether Mother's Day belongs to grandmothers or the mums currently in the trenches.  Then, petty exes. It started with a (fake) story about a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who hired a marching band to follow her ex to work for nine days straight. We wish it was real. We read your best revenge stories! 60 Minutes Australia released a world exclusive this week called Michael Jackson’s “secret” second family break their silence. Tara Brown sat down with the Cascio family, Michael Jackson's so-called secret second family, who are now speaking out about what they say happened to them. With the Michael biopic breaking box office records, Leaving Neverland quietly pulled from HBO, and the estate worth an estimated $3 billion, we unpack why this conversation is so divisive. We talk about the question of whether a biopic co-produced by the subject's own estate can ever be an honest one. ⚠️ Content note: this episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse allegations.

• Ask Uncut: Hungover in Italy, My Boyfriend's Drug Habit Is Costing $12k a Year & The Blind Date That Never Happened 10.05.2026 54min

  Hey Lifers! Welcome to Ask Uncut - your deepest, darkest and most burning questions, answered.  Today’s episode comes to you slightly compromised. Britt had a few drinks in Italy last night… their wedding photographer Cass arrived with his partner Sarah and, well, “when in Rome” turned into a few too many cocktails. She was up at 5:30am, giant glass of water in hand, ready to earn her bacon. She earned it! Vibes for the week:Britt: Raising Chelsea https://www.disneyplus.com/en-au/browse/entity-0b7ad228-5160-4dde-8a64-bd7c9e7f2ebf Laura: A Bit Hippie Hair Repair Kit https://abithippy.com.au/collections/hair-treatments?srsltid=AfmBOooqgRYDlZikT0tq8IB2dgd3pHYKVp1-XPr4pGaPtN_VoUU1Nceb Then we get into your questions! MY PARTNER AND I ARE HAVING A BABY SOON Won't ramble on about how he is a great partner otherwise I wouldn't have chosen him to be my person…The only problem we have is that like most young people these days we used to do cocaine, not a lot..just a few times a year. Mostly at special occasions with friends. Now in our 30's since we started trying for a baby I stopped drinking/drugs to give it our best chance to conceive. My partners use has become more and more regular in the past year, he will bender for a whole weekend once and month and spend $1000+. I thought he would have changed in this new season in our lives together. He tells me he will change when the baby comes. I think he should be supporting this new life now as it makes me really anxious for our future. We have been battling this for a year, constant fighting, I told him how it upsets me when he does it so often. I care about his health, his job, the wasted finances, a possible addiction etc. He tells me he won't change, it's not a big deal as he only does it once a month and it's not a daily/weekly thing and I'm a hypocrite because I used to do it. The last fight we had was really bad because he promised me we wouldn't anymore and then a few days later I caught him doing it. I was so upset | left and stayed with my parents for a few days.. he begged me to come back and that things would change, they haven't. We have been battling this for a year, constant fighting. I love him but it hurts me so much, it feels like he doesn't respect me at all. And the stress on top of being pregnant is not good for me. What should I do? Am I overreacting? Is it not that big of a deal? Do I wait and see if the baby will change him? Is this a dealbreaker? It doesn't feel that easy now as there will be a baby involved. Any advice would be great TO MOVE OR NOT TO MOVE My best friend got engaged last year, and recently we were talking about timelines for weddings. She basically said that if someone in your close circle (like a best friend or cousin) is engaged before you, it’s kind of “rude” to get married before them, like there’s an unspoken order you should follow. Apparently in her family/social circle, people wait their turn so no one “cuts in” with their wedding, and it’s caused actual fallouts when people didn’t follow that. I had literally NEVER heard of this and thought weddings were just whenever suits the couple? But now I’m second guessing myself. She spoke about waiting for her to have her moment before anyone else can have theirs. Personally, I don’t care about my “moment”, I just want to marry the love of my life when it suits us. Is there actually an unspoken etiquette around not getting married before friends who got engaged first? Or is this just a cultural/family-specific thing MY FRIEND WON'T SET ME UP I recently had a friend tell me that she was too busy to organise a set up with a guy whom she had suggested to me without organising. For context: I’m the only single friend in a group of 7 people. This has meant countless weddings, baby showers, first birthdays and general catch ups where I am attending on my own. My friends have struggled to understand the impact that this has on me and at 32, I find all of these interactions pretty hard. Recently my friend told me that a colleague potentially knew someone who they could set me up with, without me even asking for her to do this. When I tried to follow up 2 months later to casually see what the go is (after being ghosted by a guy I liked and having minimal support), she bluntly told me that she and her colleague had been too busy at work. I tried to say that it had been two months so was just curious and I got a list of why she had been too busy. I feel like as the single friend I am constantly turning up for everyone with minimal return; I’ve listened to this friend talk about her fertility struggles and her co-parenting struggles with her step child, and I also listen to her work stressors. I’m also working in a high pressure job as well as living on my own and carry the burden of this on my own with most friends too preoccupied with their partners and children to listen or let me debrief. Am I being overly sensitive or should I raise with her how it made me feel to shut me down and say she had been too busy to send a text CAN YOU USE BINS I was on a walk with my friend the other day and we grabbed a takeout coffee. To add context we were walking around our suburb and it was bin day. Once I finish my coffee, I put it in someone’s bin that was on the curb. Now this bin had already been collected so it was empty but I still put my coffee cup in it. She said that that is so rude and I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t see an issue with it because it was a little coffee cup and it was a bit. What are your thoughts on this?

• Offcuts: Met Gala Served Nipples, A Reddit Thread About Men Who Stayed Too Long & The Corporate Worker Who Did Nothing for 12 Months 08.05.2026 46min

  Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend num num 🎙️ The Met Gala happened and we need to talk about the nipples. All the Kardashians coordinated sheer looks with visible nipples and Britt is calling it... this was a business decision, something Skims is coming. We also cover Kim's limo vlog, the Olympian who shot actual bubbles from her gown, Blake Lively showing up post-trial completely unbothered, and Zendaya quietly pulling the pin, which might be its own statement. Then a Reddit thread where men explained why they didn’t propose or finally left. One had “one foot out the door for years.” Another said the sex was “dog shit” but he was “too emotionally weak to end it.” We get into fertility vampires and why “I didn’t want to hurt her” isn’t landing the way they think it is. Next, a UK corporate worker who suspected her job might not be real and quietly did almost nothing for a year to test it. She sent a 15-minute task list on Monday mornings and a couple of emails to show she was online. No one noticed. She had to quit herself! We debate whether it’s actually her fault and how much work people are really doing anyway... It's Sir David Attenborough100th Birthday!! We celebrate accordingly.  And we close with Holly Butcher’s viral letter, written at 27 before she passed from cancer, urging us to whinge less and give more - her perspective on life is worth sitting with this Saturday morning. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Are we still doing the Met Gala?

• The Devil (doesn't) Wear Crocs & Emily Blunt Wants You to Quit Your Job And Follow Your Passion For Free 05.05.2026 56min

  Hey Lifers! Laura had a very unexpected visitor pop into her ToniMay store in Bondi - none other than Sydney Sweeney, who came in with her best friend and walked out with two bespoke solid gold pieces. The thing is, there had been zero press about Sydney being in Sydney (yes, really) - so did this little shopping trip and Laura’s socials accidentally out her location?  Britt's update comes with a hot warning, and we mean that literally. During a lovely morning in bed with her husband in Italy, she managed to burn herself in a very unfortunate place with a very hot coffee. We’ll say no more… And in other news: Laura's daughter Marlie-Mae has a new best friend. It's a snail. She's already been scoping out enclosures. We support this era. We unpack all things The Devil Wears Prada. The iconic cast reunited to dish on fashion faux pas, and we took the opportunity to go deep on the trends we are absolutely not letting back through the door.  And then there's Emily Blunt, who is copping serious backlash online after telling fans to quit their jobs and chase their creative dreams, even if it means making "no money." Easy to say when you're Emily Blunt? Or genuinely good advice? We get into it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:01 - Sydney Sweeney walks into the ToniMay Bondi store! 7:50 - Britt's update: the great Italy coffee burn incident 13:19 - Marlie-Mae's new pet snail & the terrarium saga 20:22 - Devil Wears Prada 2 - the sequel, the cast, and the cultural shift in fashion 29:40 - Fashion faux pas: what we never want to see return  36:00 - Emily Blunt's "just quit your job" advice - tone deaf or actually real talk? 51:42 - Suck & Sweet  You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Video & Audio Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

• Should You Tell Your Best Friend You've Been Sleeping With Her Ex? Guest Ask Uncut with Sam Fischer 30.04.2026 50min

  Hey Lifers! We have a very special guest in the studio today! It’s Sam Fischer. You might know him as the man behind This City, one of the most viral songs of the TikTok era. We know him as Britt's personal wedding singer. He wrote and recorded a surprise wedding song for Britt and Ben! Sam is currently in Australia opening for Guy Sebastian on his national arena tour, and he's got a debut independent album on the way! We start with some industry chat where Sam explains how things work with music artists behind the scenes with record labels, pay, royalties and what it’s like to go independent! Then we get into your questions! MY MUM IS DATING SOMEONE I GENUINELY CANNOT STAND AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN FAKE IT My parents divorced five years ago after my dad had an affair. It was devastating for our whole family but we got through it. My mum spent a couple of years on her own and she seemed like she was really finding herself again, which was beautiful to watch. About a year ago she started dating someone new and I really tried to like him, but there is something about him that just doesn't sit right with me. He's not outwardly awful, he's never been rude to me or my siblings, but he talks over her, he makes little digs disguised as jokes, and I've noticed she apologises a lot when he's around in a way she never used to. I've gently tried to bring it up once and she got really defensive and told me I just wasn't used to seeing her with someone new. Maybe she's right. Do I keep saying something or do I zip it and keep my opinions to myself? I SLEPT WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S EX AND IT'S EATING ME ALIVE My best friend and her ex broke up about two years ago. It wasn't a great relationship, he wasn't particularly good to her, and when they split she was upset but I think she knew deep down that it would be for the best. They've had zero contact since. A few months ago I ran into him at a party. We had been drinking and I guess one thing led to another. He ended up stumbling back to my apartment and we had sex. In the morning I kind of expected it to feel awkward and him to high tail it out of there but he didn’t. It felt weirdly comfortable and he stayed and hung out for a few hours. It's happened a few more times since and I think I might be starting to get the feels a bit. I haven't told my best friend and the longer I leave it the worse it gets. She's one of the most important people in my life. I genuinely don't think she has feelings for him anymore but I also know that doesn't necessarily mean she'll be okay with it. When is the right time to tell her and is there even a right way to do it?PARTNER WANTS ME TO REMOVE UPPER LIP HAIRWhat are your thoughts on your partner asking you to remove your upper lip hair. My partner asks me every month to remove my upper lip hair. It takes him about 2 weeks to notice it has grown back after I get it threaded off. If he wants it removed should he pay for it? Are our partners allowed to ask us to remove our facial/body hair? IS IT TOO LATE TO START OVER?I'm 34 and I have spent the last decade building a career in marketing that I genuinely do not care about. I took the job at 24 because I’d finished my degree, it paid pretty well and I didn't really know what else to do and then I just kept going because that's what you do. I've been promoted, I earn decent money but I dread Monday mornings with a consistency that I think at this point is probably worth paying attention to. What I actually want to do is work in film or TV probably in some type of production role. I've just never had the guts to try to get into it. The problem is every time I look at job listings or internship opportunities I'm looking at roles filled by 22 year olds and I feel like I'm already a decade behind. I know 34 isn't old. I know that intellectually. But it feels old when you're starting from scratch in a competitive industry and you've got a mortgage and a life that requires a certain income to function. I'm not even sure I'm asking for permission, I think I'm asking whether anyone has actually done this and whether it was worth the chaos it caused. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Welcome back Sam Fischer, Britt's personal wedding singer 05:16 — Leaving Sony after a global hit and going independent, new music and the debut album coming July 11:58 — Sam's petty hill: close talkers 13:41 — Q1: Mum is dating someone the family can't stand — do you say something? 21:35 — Q2: I slept with my best friend's ex and now I have feelings for him 30:47 — Q3: My partner keeps asking me to remove my upper lip hair — should he pay for it? 38:04 — Q4: I'm 34 and I hate my career — is it too late to start over in film and TV? 47:11 — Where to find Sam on the Guy Sebastian tour and what's coming next You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Hosted by Britt Hockley & Laura Byrne Produced by Keeshia Pettit Video Produced by Vanessa Beckford & Lachy Pugsley Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

• Victoria's Secret - The Mother's Day Shoot That Went Too Far 28.04.2026 48min

  Hey Lifers! Britt is living it up in Italy. It’s only been a week but she’s already tried to replace us. She’s gone on a blind-ish friend date and it didn’t exactly go perfectly.  Meanwhile Laura’s oldest daughter Marlie-Mae has a new arch nemesis from the community garden. What did your kid have to learn the hard way? We need to talk about Victoria's Secret and whether children should ever be involved in the marketing of ‘sexy’ brands. Their Mother's Day campaign features model Elsa Hosk alongside her four year old daughter. Elsa is in revealing lingerie. Her daughter is in… a trench coat, a robe and her mum’s high heeled shoes. Victoria's Secret has since removed the carousel from their page, but the images are still on Elsa’s instagram. We walk through exactly what's in each photo, why we all felt uncomfortable when we saw it, and the much bigger question of whether this was an oversight or something far more deliberate; especially given Victoria's Secret's deeply tainted history with Jeffrey Epstein.   ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Britt is in Italy and went on a blind friend date 03:20 — The seagull attack 10:16 — Marlie-Mae’s community garden nightmare 14:30 — Victoria's Secret's Mother's Day campaign  27:09 — Les Wexner and the Jeffrey Epstein connection explained 33:22 — Was this an intentional decision or a genuine oversight? 35:00 — Should the model have said no?
