On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me, rip up the charades, forget about the

telly, let's play scratch cards, coins are to stretching, everybody laughing, better not be cheating,

and the chance to win a pound or three. Add some play to Christmas with scratch cards from the National Lottery.

Please gift responsibly, rules and procedures apply.

Players and gifters must be 18 or over.

And the chance to win a cuddle podcast. Yes, please,

but it's just about relationships and stuff. You should know by now, we're on episode 100,000,

something like this. This week I'm speaking to Jen Brister, a writer, a comedian and a friend.

She's absolutely brilliant.

Let's just get into the chat and I'll tell you where you can find her afterwards.

Hello, Jen.

How are you, baby?

I'm okay.

How are you?

I'm, are you feeling okay?

Are you feeling okay? Are you feeling okay? Are you feeling okay? What an opener? Are you, I'm having to look at you now and are you, are you sure you're okay? That's what you're saying to me. I'm looking at me now thinking, am I sure I'm okay? I look absolutely horrific today, but I've not really, I've made no effort for you, Lou, I've not put any sort of foundation on, I haven't even put gel in my hair or any

sort of not. I don't know. I put gel, but it's wax. It's really, when did we lose the magic?

Oh my God, I think I lost some magic about four and a half years ago. But with you just recently, only recently, I always normally, if I think I'm going to see Lou today, bang, the magic's on, a little bit of glitter, a little bit of hair gel, a little bit of, a little bit of lip-y, actually.

Is it?

You look great?

Yeah, you'll notice that I look great.

You'll notice that I'm still trying to impress. You'll notice that I look great you'll notice that I'm still trying to impress
