Offcuts: Why Brittany Almost Missed Laura's Wedding and 'Dude That's Ai'

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend snack! First up, some very exciting news: we are interviewing Hedley Thomas, the journalist behind The Teacher’s Pet and the new podcast The Poisoned Wife, after his niece Sophie (a Lifer, of course) slid into our DMs. We also have a very special Halloween Offcuts coming next week, with a medium joining us in the studio! Then we go back to kindergarten. Lola’s first ever speech was “what I want to be when I grow up” (ballerina, famous, pretty dress), and we reminisce about the most coveted classroom jobs of the 90s. Brittany also gets her first taste of the preschool waitlist panic, and we find out it starts way before you think. Next, a debate we can’t stop having: would you invoice someone who RSVP’d to your wedding and never showed up? We also look at the birthday party invoice, and the etiquette of turning up with extra kids. Plus, a confession from Brittany: she was once invited to an intimate Beyonce show in Dubai on the same day as Laura’s wedding. We hear how close she came to missing it (and Laura’s champagne tower thoughts). Then, Sylvester Stallone has just said what every Hollywood parent is thinking: of course he cast his daughter in Tulsa King, because “that’s why we’re parents.” We get into nepotism and whether any of us would do the same for our own kids. We close out with a very relatable internet moment. Instagram is testing a read only mode, so no more accidental double taps on an ex’s 2017 photos (Brittany remembers exactly how she met a certain “hot guy with a dog”). And Brittany shares the AI pyramid video she reposted to her stories, the one that literally says it’s AI. We talk about why we all keep falling for it, and why getting called out is so deflating.
