Offcuts: Laura’s a Secret Ventriloquist, Henry Cavill's Useless Dating Advice & The Ugly Duckling Theory

Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekend snacky snack.

Laura has discovered a hidden talent, ventriloquism. It came out of a three hour drive back from Ulladulla. We also take a trip down memory lane with Healthy Harold the giraffe.

Henry Cavill has gone viral for his dating advice: "if you like her, just ask her out. It's always worked for me." The internet has thoughts. We do too. When your face card is Superman, you are officially disqualified from giving the rest of us romantic guidance.

We also can't stop talking about little 12-year-old Billie Eilish crying over Justin Bieber and the full circle Coachella moment that just happened that is genuinely the most wholesome thing on the internet right now. Laura had the same energy for Zac Hanson. 

Then we unpack the Ugly Duckling Theory. David Haye on I'm A Celebrity described his model girlfriend as having "the personality of an ugly girl" as a compliment. We unpack why the intention doesn't really matter, why this theory only ever gets applied to women, and what it says about how we value women's personalities as a consolation prize for looks.

And finally Jimmy Nicholson's lawn war. His neighbour mowed right up to the property line and left Jimmy's one metre strip wild. We debate whether that's un-Australian.
