Summary

It’s the first of October… which apparently means people have already started the Christmas countdown online (honestly, who shares that? Please stop). Zoe’s been inspired by a new cookbook and a night of sparkle at the Palladium with Strictly legends, while Jo has a serious warning about scams and just how scarily real AI voices can sound. Plus, Brody the dog makes his own unforgettable contribution…

Coming up on Diggett.

I've never heard the Fratellis Chelsea Dagger done at that speed before. It was the fastest rendition of Chelsea Dagger I've ever heard. You will just emit this foul smelling stench from his bottom as I'm trying to talk to you. He's asleep. He doesn't even know he's done it and all I can breathe in is his bottom. I've stupidly forgotten my wallet. I can do a bank transfer if I text you the details. Oh my God.

0:23.2

I never said that.

Can I just say I never said that? it and all I can breathe in is his bottom. I've stupidly forgotten my wallet. I can do a bank transfer if I text you the details.

Oh my God.

I never said that.

That's so scary.

Can I say, Jo, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially

underwear.

0:45.3

Hell yeah.

0:46.4

I mean, life is simply too short to be uncomfortable.

0:49.7

There are items in my wardrobe.

I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of crop tops like brawlets, which I really like that are quite tight because I like to 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 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 huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Stripe and Stair are a female-led B-Corp, which is something I

off. This episode of Digget is sponsored by Soology. So what makes a good sofa for you? Oh, good sofa. It's got to be massive. There's a load of us and it's got to be nice and deep and seriously comfortable. I also, I always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well. So it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home It's one of the most important decisions that you make when you're coming to decorate a room, I think.

2:21.3

You don't just sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. You eat on it. I mean, not actually. 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.

2:32.6

It really is.

2:33.4

I think people can rush it.
