| 0:00.0 | Coming up on Diggets. |
| 0:01.7 | I always felt so giant as a girl who was 5'10. |
| 0:04.7 | I was taller than lots of people in my class. |
| 0:06.5 | When you're tall, you can't vanish in a crowd. |
| 0:09.1 | People always spot you. |
| 0:10.3 | I suddenly found myself in the sun, I think it was, |
| 0:12.7 | and they were talking about my third nipple. |
| 0:14.4 | How can I have never heard that story before? |
| 0:17.2 | All of that right after this. |
| 0:30.1 | Happy Monday, Joe. Happy Monday. How you doing? How was your weekend? |
| 0:41.7 | Weekend was lovely. I am thoroughly enjoying the autumn months. I have decided. Fires, cozy jumpers, family and friends. How was yours, |
| 0:47.0 | darling? It was good, thank you. It was busy. It was hectic as they tend to be. But I was lying in bed last night, as you do late at night, 11 o'clock at night on my phone, going through Instagram, |

| 0:58.9 | I'm not looking for doom. But anyway, I found a really, really lovely comment from one of our |
| 1:03.5 | diggers. And they just said that they, the Sunday night feelings have been made so much better |
| 1:08.1 | by knowing they've got digging to listen to on the Monday |
| 1:11.2 | morning that it really helped with their mental health and they really look forward to Monday mornings |
| 1:15.5 | because we're here. And I thought what an incredibly positive, wonderful thing it is that the podcast |
| 1:20.4 | is for people. If that has that effect on people's lives, I am so happy we're doing this. |
| 1:25.0 | Yeah. Even if that's one person who's happy, yay, that makes me really happy as well. Also, I think we need an alternative word to doom scrolling. Because I know, you know, hands up, I spend way too much time on my phone. And I do sometimes think, read a book. So go and tidy out those boxes downstairs, do the shopping list. There's so many things I could be doing. |
| 1:45.8 | But I do find lots of really inspiring, hopeful things when I'm scrolling sometimes. |
