0:00.0	Coming up on diggits, Joe Wiley, that's crowd. The roar of the crowd. It's the clip I saw
0:08.0	everyone singing, nah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. It always goes off when we play that. I love it.
0:13.9	I have a friend called Karen and she had a baby in what they said was about four minutes.
0:18.6	She's really strong. She's a trainer, and she literally fired her baby across the room,
0:25.2	and they caught the baby like a rugby ball.
0:27.0	I was sent some amazing photographs yesterday
0:28.7	of Australian Labradoodles in utero.
0:31.3	I'll have to ask permission,
0:32.4	but if I can share, I will share.
0:34.1	Well, they've sent you a scan of the babies.
0:36.8	Yeah.
0:38.5	All of that right after this.
0:47.3	Digit is sponsored by Strope and Stair.
0:49.5	Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially

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.
2:03.3	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 Beacorp, which is something I really love supporting. If you want to try them, visit Stripe and Stair.com and use the code Digit 20.
