0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Fern Cotton and welcome to Happy Place. This is the show where at least for the moment we're finding connection from afar. |
0:10.0 | This week we're off to meet the co-creator of the fabulous comedy this country, it's Daisy May Cooper. |
0:17.0 | The best bit is when you go to bed and you cannot sleep, get up at like 12 o'clock because you've got to write down notes. |
0:23.0 | That is pure creation and that's when you're just at your peak. That's when I'm at my peak. I absolutely love that excitement. It's like being a child again. |
0:34.0 | Oh, I'm blimmin' lover. There's some really heartfelt honest stuff in this chat as well as a lot of laughs too. And quite a bit of swearing, so this is probably one for the old headphones. |
0:47.0 | Looking for a new job? A read.co.uk. We can help you find a job you'll love. But I'm sorry, we can't help you get this song out of your head. |
0:58.0 | Now I love Mondays. Mondays are working for me. I can be the person that I want to be. Now that I'm certain. My Mondays are working for me. |
1:16.0 | Find a job you'll love at read.co.uk. |
1:22.0 | Now a massive thank you to the sponsor of this episode, Betiste. Your instant hair, a fresh, a bestie. I wash my hair once. |
1:33.0 | You'd be twice a week. But there are absolutely times when I'm honestly so busy that washing and drying it falls to the bottom of my priority list. |
1:41.0 | So boring washing hair. Which is why I love Betiste. You know them. The inventors of the gorgeous dry shampoo. They now have a game-changing, Leavin Dry Conditioner. |
1:53.0 | What? This is incredible news. It contains alloe vera and conditioning agents, which all basically make sure your hair is going to be softened, revived, detangled and shinier in between washes. |
2:06.0 | It's really lovely and it's lightweight with this really cool foam texture that's designed to be applied directly onto dry hair. |
2:14.0 | So obviously no timely rinsing needed here. We love it. For your ultimate to-da hair moment, pair the new Betiste Leavin Dry Conditioner with your favourite Betiste dry shampoo. |
2:27.0 | Your hair is going to look great, feel great and smell great from root to length. Go on. Try it now. |
2:35.0 | But now let's do it. Here's the show. |
2:38.0 | Music |
3:00.0 | Daisy, make-ooper. How the hell are you? Oh fucking really struggling. |
3:09.0 | It's really struggling now. This week has been the worst. How did you get on with all that laundry? |
3:16.0 | The laundry situation in this house is horrendous. I cannot keep on top of any of it. It's just ridiculous. |
3:25.0 | I come up here, I'm in my steps on bedroom, I come up here to do podcasts to escape. I'm not even going to lie and try to make it sound nice. |
3:35.0 | I come up here to escape. I've just escaped Google Classroom Hell, which is so hectic. |
