Offcuts - The AI Boyfriend, Cadaver Fat & Why We All Just Want To Be Bored Again
5/15/202648 min
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.

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.

[upbeat music] Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:12
I'm Brittany.
Laura Byrne· Host0:13
And this is Off Cuts, your little nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:17
It's where we talk about all the shit that was going down in the group chat this week. Something that has been on, not only on the group chat, but also in our podcast life, is that I am the recipient of Laura's charity, which is her- [laughs] ... her hand-me-down clothes. And- My kind gestures, one might say.
Laura Byrne· Host0:33
I'm such a good Samaritan, I know.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:35
Some people might be like, "You guys have brought this up three times now."
Laura Byrne· Host0:38
I'm the giver.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:39
[laughs] Seems weird. Why is this still going on? So I received the goods the other day.
Laura Byrne· Host0:44
Wait, for anyone who has no idea what we're talking about, I know if you are someone who listens to all the eps, you're well across it. Basically, I went through my clothes, I put together a whole heap of garbage bags. I intended to take them to the Salvos, and Keesha was like, "Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me." And, "Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom."
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist0:59
Like a moth to a flame.
Laura Byrne· Host1:00
[laughs] Finally, finally, the load was secured, and Keesha took it home by Uber.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist1:06
Yes, yes. There were these two big bags, and I was kinda like struggling to get my way into the door.
Laura Byrne· Host1:10
Like Santa Claus.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist1:11
I was so excited to go through the big Santa sacks of goodies.
Laura Byrne· Host1:15
Oh, God.
Keeshia Pettit· Panelist1:15
And I have gone through them, and I, unfortunately for me, was only able to get four items out of it, but I'm very grateful for the four items. I am so stoked. They are beautiful. They are very much my style. Claire and Ness, who both work with us, are next in line. They made
