| 0:00.0 | Coming up on Dig It. Nesting, I've not heard about this, but it sounds like a pretty good idea. |
| 0:04.7 | I've not tried the nesting thing. I tried moving a couple of doors down for a little bit when I split up with Norm. |
| 0:11.8 | Dretching generally being the age I am. God, I really need a good stretch, cat stretch and all those kind of things. Baby, I don't even know what the names are, pigeons. |
| 0:20.4 | Ferret. |
| 0:21.0 | I like to do the half ferret. |
| 0:23.3 | Something I can tell you from personal experience is, |
| 0:25.9 | yes, it is a lot to go through, |
| 0:27.7 | but you will come out the other side of it. |
| 0:29.6 | You will all be better in the end. |
| 0:32.4 | All of that right after this. |
| 0:40.6 | This episode of Digit is sponsored by Ancient and Brave. |
| 0:44.2 | Joe, can I ask you something? |

| 0:53.6 | I mean, we had Christmas. Then we complained that we didn't have much going on. And now all of a sudden, every day is full of something. When I look at my diary, I just can't see when I'm going to have a day free to do anything. So, yeah, it's, you know, parents, kids, animals, all that sort of stuff. It's like spinning plates where somebody keeps handing you even more plates to spin. |
| 1:12.0 | But, you know, some days I like it and other days it's just a bit of a carnival. |
| 1:15.6 | Oh, I know that feeling exactly. It is brilliant and I'm so grateful to be busy, but sometimes it's |
| 1:21.4 | just a lot. It is. And that's why I think if you have small rituals in your day, it kind of lends you to having that feeling of |
| 1:28.9 | control. And one of those is my daily scoop of Ancient and Braves wild collagen. Same. It's become a |
| 1:34.8 | tiny ritual, one scoop in my coffee in the morning. And I feel like I've done something good for |
| 1:40.2 | myself before the chaos kicks in. Yeah, it's also good thing. Collagen is not just about skin. |
