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.
