Welcome back to the High Low, the weekly news and pop culture podcast brought to you by

journalist Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton, who have just enjoyed a six week hiatus.

I say enjoyed, perhaps I mean, slept walked through, slept walked sleep walked through.

It's a good start. Call off the search, lock up your sons, the waiting game is over,

we are back and under TV would say we are bigger and bolder than ever.

Not really we're exactly the same. If anything, if it's a bit slower than ever, it would

definitely be slower. We're more mediocre, slower, average,

and less pleasing than ever, but we'll get there, bear with us.

So what was having a baby? What was that like?

God, Dolly, that's like me saying to you, what's it like writing a book? You'd be like,

actually probably similar emotions, would tell me what it was like as if we've never

spoken about this before. Tell the listeners what having a baby is like, go on, treat us.

The only way I can explain the physical act of having a baby is a split sofa.

I am a split sofa. I appreciate you saying that.

I think that's one of the first things you said to me when I was messaging you.

I have to tell the listeners as well about how I found out that you'd give them birth.

Andora has this camel coat that she wore throughout her mat leave that she said when

mat leave was over she just wouldn't be able to look at it anymore.

And I thought it was a rather nice coat. So I kept saying to you, could I please have the coat

to you about the baby? And then I got the message one morning just saying,

dole, guess what, you can have my coat.

I was like, will she get it? And I was like, if she doesn't, we're really in trouble.
