| 0:00.0 | Coming up on Dig It. |
| 0:01.4 | Oh, this is my worst nightmare, and it's actually coming true. |
| 0:04.8 | Something crawled into my nostrils. |
| 0:07.8 | Oh! |
| 0:08.3 | I was like, what is? |
| 0:09.9 | Oh, my God, there's something in my nostrils. |
| 0:12.2 | I had buried it in the garden, and it was like a really small little garden, and they never found it. |
| 0:19.1 | All of that right after this. |
| 0:27.3 | Music little garden and they never found it. All of that right after this. Digit is sponsored by Stripe and Stair. Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my |
| 0:32.7 | number one priority with clothes now, especially underwear. Hell yeah. I mean, life is simply too short to be |
| 0:40.4 | uncomfortable. There are items in my wardrobe. I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a |
| 0:46.6 | couple of crop tops like brawlets, which I really like, that are quite tight because I like to |
| 0:50.4 | be compressed if I've got a t-shirt on. But on the days when I don't need to wear those, I just want to hang loose and I want to have a really nice soft fabric. And that is my, that is my ultimate dream bit of underwear. That's why I love stripe and stare so much. Their knickers are unbelievably comfortable. They're soft, they're breathable, really kind to your skin. Yeah, they're made from natural fibres. There are no nasty chemicals and I think you really notice the difference straight away. And I love that they don't just stop at knickers. Their brawlets are brilliant, no underwire, no digging in and their sleepwear is so comfy, you won't want to take it off in the morning. Honestly, once you start wearing them, they just slowly take over your drawer. They do, and they do them in lovely colours. It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a |
| 1:31.7 | huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Striip and Stair are a female-led B-Corp, which is something |
| 1:36.9 | I really love supporting. If you want to try them, visit Stripe and Stair.com and use the code |

| 1:54.5 | by Sofology. So what makes a good sofa for you? Oh, good sofa. It's got to be massive. |
| 1:59.0 | There's a load of us. And it's got to be |
| 2:01.0 | nice and deep and seriously comfortable. I also, I always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well. Because it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home. It's one of the important decisions that you make when you're coming to decorate a room, I think. You don't just sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. You eat on it. I mean, not actually, |
| 2:18.4 | but you talk on it, you watch telly on it, you fall sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. You eat on it. I mean, not actually, |
| 2:18.4 | but you talk on it. You watch telly on it. You fall asleep on it quite often. It's basically, it's like a member of the family. It really is. I think people can rush it. I'm guilty of that. They panic by a sofa because they need one quickly. And then six months later, you're sitting there thinking this is actually really not very comfortable. What have we done?
