  Kissing for Science & The AI's Doomsday Clock 15.09.2026 50min

  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.

  Ask Uncut: Is The Bride Stealing? (& Should I Sleep With My Boss!?) 13.09.2026 51min

  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. Then it's into your questions! IS MY HUSBAND CHEATING?Ten years together, three kids, a house, and then a text pops up on his phone from a female coworker asking what time he'll be there. He panics, snatches the phone, and starts backpedalling. There are hundreds of calls between them he's never once mentioned. Britt and Laura break down the red flags (and how to actually pull his phone records). THE BRIDE IS STEALING FROM HER GUESTS$450 a head for a destination hens do... and then the bride tries to pocket extra cash on top of it. The girls dig into when "wedding costs" tip over into straight-up guest exploitation. AM I BEING UNREASONABLE?A coworker she took under her wing has started copying everything: Her couch, her clothes, even her daughter's name. Is this obsession or just an awkward compliment gone too far? I'M GOING TO F*CK MY BOSS IN TWO WEEKSFresh out of a three-year relationship, a dick pic later, and now he's booking flights to see her.

  Offcuts: Men Are Ditching Deodorant, Michelle Obama's Empty Nest Truth & An Open Relationship Gone Wrong 11.09.2026 34min

  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 on her podcast IMO, where she got refreshingly honest about how she actually feels now that her kids have left home. Spoiler: she's thriving, not grieving and it's sparked a very real debate about who's "Team Barack" (misses the kids desperately) and who's "Team Michelle" (has never felt more free). Then, a Reddit thread that reads like poetic justice: a woman opens up her relationship at her boyfriend's request, racks up hundreds of dating app matches… while he gets zero. Naturally, he's furious. We close out with the most petty, most brilliant piece of revenge we've heard in a long time… a woman who signed her best friend's cheating ex up to 500 email newsletters, and we've got some upgrade ideas of our own.

  What We Get Wrong About ADHD, Masking & AuDHD - with Dr Kieran Kennedy 10.09.2026 1h

  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 Guide to Navigating Adult ADHD, and he's here to unpack why so many women aren't diagnosed until their 30s, 40s or even 50s, what "masking" and "scaffolding" actually look like day to day, the difference between hyperactive, inattentive and combined ADHD, what AuDHD is, and why "high performing ADHD" might be one of the most misunderstood terms on the internet right now. We also get into ADHD burnout, the link between ADHD and disordered eating and substance use, the romanticised "superpower" side of ADHD on social media, and what steps to take if you think this conversation sounds a little too relatable. Kieran shares: Why ADHD in women is so often missed, and how it shows up differently to the "naughty kid in the classroom" stereotype What "scaffolding" really means, and the difference between adaptive and maladaptive coping What "high performing ADHD" actually is (and why the term can be misleading) The three types of ADHD - hyperactive, inattentive and combined What AuDHD (ADHD + autism) is, and why it's not a "made up" internet diagnosis The link between ADHD, dopamine seeking, disordered eating and substance use What ADHD burnout looks like versus everyday burnout Why women are diagnosed on average nearly 20 years later than men, and the role hormones, pregnancy and menopause play Options beyond medication The difference between masking in men and women TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro & Kieran's most mortifying career story8:16 — How ADHD shows up differently in men and women10:55 — Scaffolding, masking & "high performing ADHD"17:16 — How ADHD is actually diagnosed (and the 3 types)23:19 — What ADHD looks like day to day (counting, parenting, forgetfulness)27:21 — Why women are diagnosed later: hormones, pregnancy & menopause30:28 — Treatment beyond medication, AuDHD & autism in adults38:13 — Burnout, dopamine seeking, myths & what to do next Follow Kieran on Instagram Grab Kieran's new book, This Explains Everything: A Psychiatrist's Guide to Navigating Adult ADHD:  Listen back to our first episode with Kieran (on binge eating) Listen back to our CLOUD mini-series See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Raygun's Redemption, Alix v Alex & WTF is Musk? 08.09.2026 49min

  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 one will have you both concerned and intrigued. Then we get into it. First up, the Alex Cooper vs Alex Earle drama that's been simmering since 2022 finally got its reveal, and we unpack the uncomfortable footage, the question of who really owns your story once you've sat down for an interview, and why we'll never ask a guest to keep something in if they've asked for it to be cut. Then, the big one: Raygun. Her new Netflix documentary has reopened the conversation a year on, and we've got a lot of feelings. We get into vicarious embarrassment (yes, it's a real psychological phenomenon), the line between self-belief and delusion, the role her husband/coach played in it all, and whether the backlash really was about gender or something else entirely. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: Britt's New Zealand trip, the Queenstown luge race & an icy lake plunge 8:41 - Life updates of a laundry disaster and a special award in Laura’s fam 13:42 - SOS: hug, handshake or kiss?

Should I ask him to not invite her? Q3: MY MUM KEEPS GIVING MY BROTHER MONEY: I only found out by accident. I've never asked for a cent, but apparently he "needs it more." Am I a bad sister for feeling some type of way about it? Q4: HOW DO I TELL MY BEST FRIEND HER CONTENT IS TOO OBVIOUSLY AI?

  Offcuts: The Jet Ski Confession, A $11M Wedding Registry Scandal & Taking Your Bush To The Beach 04.09.2026 43min

  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 debate on how strict is too strict when it comes to dress codes. We also unpack the backlash facing Annalynne McCord and Danny Cipriani, whose combined $11 million net worth didn't stop them itemising their wedding costs on a very public registry, right down to the $600 wedding cake. Then, a viral "5 hobbies you need for a balanced life" list sends Laura into a spiral about whether surviving the day counts as self-care, and we debate whether meditation really is the answer to everything (RIP Deepak Chopra's reputation). We close out bikini season-ready with a viral essay titled "I took my bush to the beach" and a very open conversation about pubic hair, laser regret, and who actually cares what's going on down there.

  Starting Over At 36, Public Heartbreak and ‘Not Staying Stuck’ - Uncut with Rhi Disljenkovic 03.09.2026 36min

  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 and beggars can't be choosers. We don't think it's crazy. We think knowing what you want, and refusing to compromise on it, might be the bravest thing you can do in your 30s. Which brings us to today's guest Rhi Disljenkovic. Many of us got to know Rhi when she turned up on our MAFS screens having already met the guy who was standing at the end of the aisle waiting for her. Rhi and Jeff left the experiment together. A few months ago, Rhi made the incredibly difficult decision to end her relationship with Jeff.In today’s episode, Rhi speaks about what actually happened behind the scenes, why she made the choice to leave a relationship that so many people online assumed was a fairytale, and what it's like restarting again in your mid-30s, in the public eye, while everyone else has an opinion. We get into the pressure of being an "inspirational" couple online, the difference between a bad relationship and a relationship that's just not right, the rumours she's had to sit with in silence, and why she's decided to start an egg freezing journey now. We chat: The sunk cost fallacy in relationships; do you settle, or start again? Whether Rhi and Jeff's shared history was picked up by producers, or pure coincidence The pressure of sharing a relationship online and feeling like a "fraud" Why she'd call it "a relationship that's just not right," not a bad relationship Boundaries she overlooked, and the rumours that were hardest to sit with Writing her breakup statement, and what it's like posting it knowing it'll be picked apart What life looks like for her now Her advice for anyone quietly questioning their own relationship You can find more from Rhi on her Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rhidisljenkovic/?hl=en Timestamps 0:00 — Intro: Rhi joins us to talk restarting in your mid-30s in public 5:08 — Rhi’s MAFS journey and their connection after the show 12:39 — Getting into the break up: wanting a future and feeling like a fraud 18:15 — Why it was "just not right," not bad, and how she chose to leave 25:17 — Writing the breakup statement and sitting with the rumours 30:01 — Choosing herself at 36, and starting her egg freezing journey Keep your questions coming!

  A Prophet And The Influencer Who Got A Face Lift at 33 01.09.2026 45min

  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 into the convo we can't stop thinking about. Is it better for women to be completely transparent about the work they've had done, even if that means normalising facelifts at an age that once felt unthinkable? Or does that transparency tip into promotion, quietly telling a younger, audience that this is just what upkeep looks like now? And underneath all of it, the real question, how much of this is actually a choice, and how much is just the exhausting cost of trying to feel okay in your own skin after years of comparison culture, motherhood, and a beauty standard that keeps moving the goalposts younger. Plus of course of Suck and Sweet (which includes a huge career highlight hosting global superstar Alex Warren!!!!)

  From Sleeping In A Car To 11 Billion Streams: Alex Warren Gets Real About Grief 28.08.2026 23min

  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 was kicked out of home and lived in his car. At 21, he lost his mum. Today he opens up about all of it: writing a song from his late dad's perspective (with a guitar solo from John Mayer), the voice notes his dad left him before he passed, the "what ifs" of grief, his mum's addiction and the regrets he still carries. He also has one of the best love stories we’ve ever heard. Follow Alex Warren on tiktok and Instagram @alexwarren Listen to Wildchild, out now!

  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 juicy main event: producer Sophie FINALLY sits in the hot seat for her official get-to-know-you episode, and she comes in swinging with a 3am possum-on-the-bed story, plus some unhinged radio tales. Britt and Laura go through all the quick q’s from the Lifers and BONUS, we also get a cheeky accidentally unfiltered with Laura thrown in there too!  Content note: Light discussion of memory/health anxiety.

  Ask Uncut: Orgasms On Demand, Mysterious Nudes Heating Up The FB Group & One Very Suspicious Brother In Law 23.08.2026 44min

  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 Vibes of the week: Laura: Toxic Love Story on Netflix Britt: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros Q1: SHOULD I TELL MY SISTER HER HUSBAND IS MESSAGING ANOTHER WOMAN?  My sister is overseas and I had her husband over for dinner. While he was on a video call with her, I saw a flirty conversation open on his phone with a woman saved only as a photo and a question mark. Do I wait until she's home, or say something now? Q2: IF YOU BREAK IT, DO YOU BUY IT?  My housemate's cleaner accidentally broke one glass from a $140 pair, and now my housemate is making her pay for the full set. She seems thrilled about ending up with three glasses instead of two. Q3: MY PARTNER'S NEVER BEEN FLIRTY WITH ME?  My partner of nine months just told me his socials were "hacked" and someone's trying to extort him using a nude he sent 12–18 months ago. He's never once sent me anything like that, and I can't stop wondering why. Q4: AM I LIMITING MYSELF BY AVOIDING “CASUAL” DATERS?   I'm back on the apps and getting plenty of matches, but most guys are upfront that they only want something casual. My ex said the same thing before we met and changed his mind a month in,  am I limiting myself by only going out with people who say they want something serious?

  "I Was Almost Human Trafficked in Paris” - Uncut with Djanaya Hampton 20.08.2026 53min

  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 real time from the "harmless" photo request that was actually the first red flag, the moment she watched money change hands, losing them on one train only to have them get on the next, and the stranger on a near-empty carriage who may have saved her life. We also talk about what happened after: the Australian Embassy telling her she needed to leave the country immediately, what it really means to be "on the black market," and the wave of support, and disbelief, she's faced since sharing her story. Djanaya shares: Why she started solo-travelling for her birthday every year, and the countries she'd been to before Paris The exact moment she first felt something was wrong — before she could even explain why What it's like to realise, in real time, that you're being followed by multiple people How a stranger who happened to speak Spanish became the reason she got out safely What the Australian Embassy told her about being "on the black market" Why she waited over a year to share her story, and the response since The other survivor stories she's been sent since going viral Britt's own close call in Medellín, Colombia Timestamps 00:00 – Introducing Djanaya and her solo birthday travel tradition 05:06 – Her 29th birthday at the Eiffel Tower, and the men who approached her 08:50 – The "let's take a photo" moment that set off alarm bells 13:44 – Followed and surrounded on the Paris metro 27:46 – Going to the Australian Embassy 36:48 – Going viral, and the wave of messages from other survivors 38:43 – Britt's own close call in Colombia Follow Djanaya on Instagram: @dijonnai___ You can watch our episode with Lurata Lyon here Keep your questions coming!

  Ask Uncut: My Boyfriend's Brothel Past, My Mum's Young Boyfriend and He Won't Take No For An Address 16.08.2026 47min

  Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Big news this week: Britt's husband Ben has flown in for a surprise visit (no return flight booked!) so she's on cloud nine. The girls also dive into their Traders Australia obsession before getting stuck into your questions. Vibes of the week:Laura - The Traitors Australia (Channel 10 / 10 Play)  Britt - Life Changing - The Jesy Nelson Story on Amazon Prime Then it's into your questions! Q1. MY BOYFRIEND HAS A BROTHEL IN HIS PAST My boyfriend has been to a brothel in the past, and it makes me think differently of him. I have been with my partner for about a month officially, and we were seeing each other for a couple of months before that. The other night we were laying in bed when his friend made a joke that he was going to the brothel again. I asked, 'Have you ever been to a brothel?' thinking the answer would definitely be no. It turns out he went to a brothel two years ago and paid for sex when he was single. He says he regrets it significantly and would never do it again. I feel disgusted even thinking that he would have gone, and I don't know if I can get past this. Should this be something I am allowed to care about and potentially end the relationship over? Q2. MY MUM HAS A ‘TOYBOY’ I'm 35 and I have four younger siblings, three sisters, and my youngest brother is 24. Recently my mum, who is 55, told us she has a new partner who is 28. I'm really struggling with it. If I'm honest, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. She keeps telling us that he just treats her so well and age is just a number, but she's almost twice his age and it just doesn't sit right with me. I genuinely want to be happy for her if she's happy, but I'm just finding it difficult to get past the age gap, especially knowing that he's younger than me and all my sisters, and only four years older than my brother. I'd really appreciate hearing other people's perspectives. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did your feelings change over time? I am not looking to judge her. I just want to understand why I am finding it so hard to accept this. Q3. WON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ADDRESS Am I wrong to find this a red flag, or is this me looking for perfection in a person? I went on a first date with a guy, and I asked him to just drop me near my home, as I don't give out my exact address until I know someone well, which I told him directly. The very next day, he texted me that he wants to drop by my house with a gift. His exact words were: 'I'll get some chocolates, drop them by your house and say hi, then leave.' In my opinion, I feel as though this is a clear indication that my boundaries are not being respected. What do you all think? Am I overreacting? Q4. HE'S JUST...NOT FUNNY I love my partner. He's the best. He's smart, he's handsome, he's kind. He does the housework and we have similar values. But he's just not funny. It's often frustrating having to explain my jokes to him. Help . What does this mean? Are we really soulmates if I don't find him funny? TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro  2:12 — Vibes of the week 14:08 — Q1: My boyfriend went to a brothel before we met 22:17 — Q2: My mum is dating a guy younger than me 31:01 — Q3: Is the chocolate delivery text a red flag? 42:02 — Q4: He's perfect but he's just not funny 46:49 — Outro Keep your questions coming!

  7 Rounds Of IVF, One Facebook Post & Our Discussion Group's First Baby. Uncut with Deb 13.08.2026 38min

  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 IVF and still empty handed, she was asking if anyone would consider donating eggs or embryos to help her become a mum. The post got 375 likes and an outpouring of women offering to help. Today we're sitting down with Deb and her eight-month-old daughter Poppy, who exists because of an embryo donation from another lifer. We talk about the shock of her AMH results, the toll of seven rounds of IVF, finding the "Single Mums By Choice" community, why she chose the Life Uncut discussion group over dedicated donor sites, what it was like juggling multiple potential donors, meeting Poppy's donor family for the first time, and how she plans to talk to Poppy about where she came from. It's a full-circle story about generosity, community and one incredible, hard-won miracle.
