Starting point is 00:00:00 Coming up on Dig It. I'm ridiculously want my kids to be happy all of the time so that I'm just constantly trying to give them the best experience every single second
Starting point is 00:00:07 and it overwhelms them as well that's a ridiculous thing. And then the police came and had to sort of try and take fingerprints from the object. Oh no. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:00:17 Sometimes I just need a wank and a week but I'm in a better mood when I come back downstairs. She gained fame for creating plaster cast of celebrities erect penises. Whose erect penises did she do?
Starting point is 00:00:29 Jimmy Hennon. I mean, he was quite famous, wasn't he? What, Jimmy Hendricks was incredibly famous. He's like one of the great rock musicians of all time. Famous for his member. All of that, right after this. Ah, snow melting, weather getting warmer, bird singing, but what is the first true sign of spring?

Welcome to the beginning of our week together and also to another dig-in, which is where we catch up with you and find out what's going on in your worlds and have your lovely questions. So you're right? How are you? Great. Life is great, but I'd quite like to get rid of the gray and the cold. I'm starting to feel a bit like an old lady where it just gets to me with colds. I don't think it ever used to be like this, but I have to keep layering up. But I did do a bit of weeding in the garden, Joe, and I'm really excited because the salvias are all coming back and oh, there's life and everything. But I just want to start moving stuff out there and I'm still a bit worried about temperature and stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Anyway, I digress. It should be about the diggers. So we have a question. Our first question is from Laura, who wrote, I was prompted to write by the thoughtful conversation you had about overwhelm on a recent pod. I think I've got decision fatigue due to me being a bit overwhelmed or maybe just perimenopausal. A weekend, but especially during a recent fairly disastrous half term,
Starting point is 00:02:47 I just can't make decisions or get going. I come up with so many ideas but I can't quite settle on one. During half term the kids got frustrated and I started to feel really low. While all my kids' friends were off skiing or having adventures, I got teary and down
Starting point is 00:03:02 and I just couldn't get any decisions made. Thankfully, we have a dog, so we did get outside every day, but it felt like a week we endured instead of enjoyed. And aside from clubs, weekends feel much the same. Can you help? How do I rouse myself from this paralysis? It's not in my professional life or anything else really, just weekends and holidays. Thank you for the pod. I recently discovered a set of mums at the school gates who all listen. Go mums. And that is from Laura. Laura, thank you. Oh my God. It is really hard, isn't it? Filling the time. when you are also aware of other families and your kids' friends having the most amazing time and there's that pressure of, oh my God, I've got to make their lives equally as amazing.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And it can just be too much. And you feel, I think you feel inadequate and you feel panic-stricken. And when that panic hits, your mind just goes blank. I get that quite often. Just feel, I think you said, paralyzed by the indecision and just cannot get any inspiration whatsoever. So I empathize, Laura. I know exactly how you feel. Whether I know any solutions, I'm not entirely sure.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I think maybe just taking one day at a time and maybe turning it over to your kids and asking what they want to do, putting the onus on them and give yourself a break. So take the pressure of yourself and just say to them, okay, sure, week, let's write a list, let's come up with things that we can do together that would make you really happy and see what they come up with. I totally hear you, Laura. I've had this.
Starting point is 00:04:30 And I actually have it with work decisions. I have it with achieving things sometimes where I'm so like, I can't even cope with all these things that are going through my head. Also, Laura, I don't know if you do, but I have ADHD, so sometimes is exhausting in here.
Starting point is 00:04:46 It's just exhausting because it's going and I'm not getting anywhere with anything. I think Joe's right there, maybe take it back. To be honest with you, Laura, it sounds like you need a break. It sounds like you need a little break for you and the kids need a little break for them.
Starting point is 00:05:01 But of course, that's not how life works. is it because you've got to do it all at the same time. I don't think you should be so hard on yourself. I think sometimes when the kids stop school, you all need a break. And if that means that you just take the dog for a walk and you sit around and watch some movies and play some games, that is okay. You can't be doing all the activities all the time. Because also, you know, to go on a skiing holiday, cost loads of money. Not everyone has that. Not everyone's at the same level where you can take everyone on a skiing holiday. That might not work for you. It depends on the of your kids, the things that they like doing.
Starting point is 00:05:35 And it's trying to make that work for everybody. And sometimes just having a break, Laura, and sitting around and cuddling up is all right as well. And the kids will be fine. So sometimes I think just have a little listen to yourself. I think, right, what do I need? And what are the kids need? And should we separate that a little bit? But like Joe says, maybe make some lists.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Because this could help in the future for future half-term holidays. You know, I know lots of people who will just get away for a night. You don't necessarily have to go away for a week, but sometimes changing the scenery is good, somewhere different in the forest and on the coast. And that doesn't have to be even far from where you live. I think sometimes just a little change of scene with the kids is a little adventure. It may well be that you'll go to that place,
Starting point is 00:06:22 walk the dog, make some food and watch a movie, and all snuggle up and go to sleep, which you might have done at home. But you've had a change of scene. and that's just a little adventure. I totally understand that overwhelmed feeling though where sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, can you, Joe? No, no, that's it. I'm so so guilty of this.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I'm ridiculously want my kids to be happy all of the time so that I'm just constantly trying to give them the best experience every single second of every day of their life and they know I have to dial that back and it overwhelms them as well. That's a ridiculous thing. I'm always going, should we go to a gig, should go to the cinema?
Starting point is 00:06:54 What should we do? Trying to plan everything all the time and I have to have a word with myself and just go, stop, just let them stay in bed all day, let them do, be who they want to be. And it's, you know, you don't put the pressure on yourself, which is probably what you're doing, Laura, as well. And it's, oh my God, it's really hard. It's really hard. Doing nothing sometimes is invaluable.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Doing nothing is invaluable. Resting, vegging, having a pajama day, just, you know, that's okay. life is so fast and it obviously sounds Laura like if you're saying it's all right in your professional life so you're obviously working as well you know there's so much going on and sometimes that fact that your brain just can't fix on
Starting point is 00:07:38 the decision and I get like that sometimes I'm like I decided what to buy in the supermarket for food I've decided what's for dinner I decided that we're going to do this and that and I've sorted that holiday later on in the year can someone else take control make a decision and just take control sometimes
Starting point is 00:07:53 because it's a lot isn't it It's a lot to make all the decisions. I often say that. I'm like, well, what do you want to eat? Oh, God, wouldn't it be lovely if someone took over and just organised everything? I would love that more than anything. I really love that. I could stop fretting, stop worrying, trying to find the thing that will make everybody the most happy.
Starting point is 00:08:11 It would be amazing. I would love that. Anyway, Laura, our brain's short circuit just as much as yours do as well. So I hope you can take comfort from that. You're not alone. Lots and lots and lots of other people will feel the same and just give yourself a break. Don't be so hard on yourself, because I'm, with you, girl. The overwhelm is a thing.

Everyone has been loving your pup dates, Joe, including Amelia, who sent us this lovely voice note. Hi, my name's Amelia from Hampshire. I've got a few things I need to, or I'd like to say to you, girls. Firstly, very excited about the Labradoodle news. We've just unfortunately lost our 14 and a half year old chocolate Labradoodle called Bobby. He was the best family pet ever. Amazing temperament. So very excited to see pictures when you eventually get one, Joe. Linking on from that, we have really, really missed our morning dog walks. So we have kind of rethought the dog walk and we now walk up to a well-known supermarket, which offers a free coffee with the loyalty app, just so that we've got
Starting point is 00:09:32 a purpose to our morning walk because it's so painful not having the dog. So linking into the suggestions for merchandise, a reusable coffee cup would be amazing. And then just a little funny story to end, the sex toy story that you were talking about and where people hide them. I have a friend, genuinely a friend, not myself, who used to keep her. in a little metal petty cash tin locked away from children. Great idea until they got burgled one day. This was about 20 years ago. They got burgled and of course the burglars thought they'd struck lucky
Starting point is 00:10:09 finding this metal money tin, broke open the tin and found the product inside, which was obviously very embarrassing for my friend. And then the police came and had to sort of try and take fingerprints from the object. So very funny. Keep going. Can't wait to do the picture of the puppy. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Oh, God. The embarrassment. The embarrassment. But you know what? Serves them right. Breaking into your house. You know, I'm glad that all they got was your rampant rabbit or whatever it was. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I mean, it's just, can you imagine the conversations with the policeman? I know. Is this yours, madam? I think it is. Yes, it is funny. Also, it's funny, isn't it, that we're so embarrassed about these toys and tools, but, you know, everyone has them. Well, not everyone has them. Some people don't have them, but, you know, most people have them. And we shouldn't be so embarrassed because actually we should be proud. It's like, you know what? Sometimes I just need a wank and a week, and then I'm all right. And you're all better off afterwards. You don't need to know why
Starting point is 00:11:18 you're better off. But I'm in a better mood when I come back downstairs. I think you're doing your bit, Zoe. I think you're doing your bit for the revolution. You're doing your bit. So, oh, this is hilarious. I'll keep the pup dates coming, by the way. I think it's this week, because they're two weeks old now, it's all about the eyes opening. So we're waiting for those graphs of the eyes being open.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Still don't know which puppy we're going to be getting. But I know what you mean, Amelia, talking about going for a walk and suddenly, you know, you haven't got a dog to walk anymore. And we've still got Django. But he has been so knocked sideways by not having Brodie anymore. and he is like, oh my God, he's like a shadow of himself. He's developed really bad anxiety. He's such an anxious dog.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And the walks, he's just listless when you go for a walk, whereas he used to play with Brody and they'd tumble and they'd race off into the distance. You wouldn't see them for ages. He just literally plods alongside you. And that was a huge part of our motivation for getting another dog because he needs, he needs a friend. He needs his mates.
Starting point is 00:12:13 He needs his mate. Yeah, he needs a mate. If only he could understand that he's got this fun. of joy coming. I know. How many weeks do we all have to wait? Sorry, do you have to wait? Six weeks.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Middle of April is when the new pup will be coming. That's not so long. Yeah. At the moment, he really could do with a friend. Yeah. Because he's a little bit lost. And obviously having two cats now in the house because we had Nemo the kitten.
Starting point is 00:12:39 He's outnumbered. He's being thoroughly ganged up against. Yeah. He's like, oh, God's sake. Oh, Amelia, sorry to hear about your Bobby. But I think that's such a good thing. that you found a reason to get out and to walk and that is a great idea, a reusable coffee cup.
Starting point is 00:12:55 The reusable thing, it's a real thing. I've got this cupboard. I've been trying to reorganise the cupboards and I've got this one cupboard that is, it's like it's breeding water bottles. Honestly, there are so many of them. Do they have lids that fit? Do they have lids that fit?
Starting point is 00:13:09 No, they do not. Where are the lids? They just disappear. And I literally, I spend like an hour every so often just going to find the lid, I'm going to make it fit, and I'll get them all. and they're all stacked out
Starting point is 00:13:19 and they're all in order and they've all got their lids and it's all great. Give me three days they're all gone like everything is displaced and oh last night I opened the cupboard
Starting point is 00:13:27 and I just thought I haven't got the will to try it to even look in this cupboard at the moment I cannot bear it. I hate the metal ones because not only when you drink from them they
Starting point is 00:13:35 they smack your tea but also when they fall out the cupboard on you they really hurt so I'm loving these ones I don't know who they're made by but I've got one green one of these and one and I'd
Starting point is 00:13:48 popped over to Norms this weekend and I saw Nell in her natural habitat, her dad's house. And I walked into her room and I was like, there's my bag, there's my jacket, there's my shoes, there's my water bottle, there's my favourite jazzy charging lead. And she was like, Mom, don't take it, don't take it. I was like, darling, I wouldn't have you any other way. It's absolutely fine that you have all these things, but at least I know where they are. Oh, dear. Right, we have another message on the subject of Jeff Buckley, who you were waxing lyrical about last week. We had this email from Michelle in London who said, Hi, I love your show.
Starting point is 00:14:21 It's amazing to hear from the wonderful community you are building too. I wanted to let you know that I did get to see Jeff Buckley at Glastonbury. I was one of those people. I'd only recently discovered him and found the man and his music beautiful. I dragged my boyfriend at the time to watch the sets. I recall it being quite an early slot. And if we'd had phone cameras back then, I'd certainly be sharing a few photos with you right now.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Needless to say, it was a performance that I will treasurer. I didn't know about the film until Zoe mentioned it, so I'll be sure to wash it soon. Also, just to say that I'm due to have cancer surgery this week and I'm putting together a playlist of uplifting tracks, play during my recovery. I would love it if you would share yours. So that's Michelle in London. We obviously send you all the love in the world and hope your surgery goes okay and this is the road to recovery for you. So we're sending you lots and lots of love. And what a good idea putting together a lovely, uplifting and gentle.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Spotify playlist. Yeah. I really love that track. Adore You. I think it's Fred again and Obong Jaya. And oh my gosh, it's just if I'm ever doing my radio show and there's a bleak mood all around. I'm like, right, I'm going to stick this in the shiny and I know that lots of people will just
Starting point is 00:15:33 be lifted by that song. So it's Fred again, Obong Jaya and Adore You. Self-esteem, I always find her incredibly uplifting and very emotional as well. Deep Blue OK is a really good song by her. If any of our diggers have any uplifting tunes that are they go-to that you think Michelle could put on her playlist for her surgery, that would be a lovely thing. So music recommendations please for Michelle and what she's going through. And maybe you've been through your own sort of cancer journey and there are tunes that really helped you at certain moments that you could perhaps suggest to us. We have a Spotify playlist with all our music recommendations on.
Starting point is 00:16:12 So I'm going to put together a clutch of uplifting songs. I'm going to do that later on today. So we will have a bunch of them there because they're all going out of my head right now. But I know there are some that I just fall on all the time. So that will happen. It will be on our Spotify playlist. So go there, enjoy the music, put it on. Even if you're in whatever your journey is, if you're in a bleak mood, then stick that on and we will lift you up.
Starting point is 00:16:33 And hopefully, Michelle, you'll be able to use that playlist as well during your recovery. We'll add a link to it in the show notes, which is a bit of text underneath the episode on whatever platform you watch or you listen on. Otherwise, if you sign in to our substack, sign up to our substack, it'll get sent to your inbox, so it'll be there for you. The Bell Air Direct app includes crash assist, which detects an accident the moment it happens, and even offers you emergency assistance at the tap of a button. Okay, but what if I don't have an accident? Well, just keep on, keeping on. Bell Air Direct. Insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. Sarah from Oxford, she has been in touch.
Starting point is 00:17:17 She says, hi, Joe and Zoe, loving the podcast on my long commute down the M40. to work. Zoe, you mentioned the Great Wall of Vagina recently. Like your friend, I also went to The Archers in Brighton Tab, a bits immortalised in plaster, and then go about my day with a slightly sticky undercarriage. I've never actually told anyone until now, but we're all friends here. Whenever I'm at a work-related event or conference, and they ask as an icebreaker to tell us something surprising about yourself, I'm always so tempted to share my experience. to see their faces, but never have had the guts to do it so far. However, it always makes me smile to myself to know that at one point I was number 49 on the
Starting point is 00:18:03 lineup of plaster vaginas. Keep up the honest conversations. Sarah from Oxfordshire, forever known as number 49 on the Great Wall of Vagina. Sarah, good on you. I'm going to tell my friend all about you. She'll be so thrilled that she was not the only one. Have you heard any of your body parts, plaster of Paris, Joe Wiley? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Did we talk about the male member being immortalised? Wasn't there somebody who used to do that? Was it Cynthia Plastercast? Right. I think she just did men's penises for quite a time. I think there was an exhibition. This might be one of those memories I've made up, but I'm sure there was a woman called Cynthia Plastercast
Starting point is 00:18:43 who, for a time being, immortalised men's penises. Anyway. I'm trying to think of many of the men I know. and whether they would be willing to have their members plaster casted. I had a boyfriend who wanted to do my boobs, and I think the plaster is still in the other room, because I was like, no, I don't really want to do my boobs, because they were once up here and all pert and lovely.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And I think that's maybe what he was trying to say, was remember them more like that, because they're only going to go south. Feet, yes, hands, I understand. I've got India's legs on my wall, and it's one of my favourite things. If the house was burning down, it's one of the things I would save. So it's when she was about five. And there was a really lovely woman, Judy Wiseman, she was called in North London. And she just got India to cross her legs and have her hands there.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And it's her hands and legs immortalised. So that's what she was like when she was tiny. And then all the kids have had their hands done. And I had my lips done. I think I might have mentioned this before. Face lips. Just checking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Face lips. Okay. Not the vaginas. No, the face lips. And I had, so it was like a kiss. And I gave it to Steve for Valentine's Day. Oh, that's cute. Lost on him completely.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Lost on him completely. It's in the downstairs toilet now. He was like, what? A friend of mine did say to me the other day, she went, I thought it was rather amazing that Joe was talking about waxing and moving this lip and moving that lip. She was like, I thought, Bravo that girl.
Starting point is 00:20:06 She's like, I'd never used to hear Joe say things like that. I thought it was brilliant, so just pointing that out. Well done you. Thank you. I've just found Cynthia Plastercast. She is a real person. She's no longer alive, yeah. Oh, you're joking.
Starting point is 00:20:18 She gained fame. for creating plaster cast of celebrities erect penises. Oh, erect penises. By casting penises of rock musicians. She later expanded her subjects to filmmakers and other artists. So whose erect penises did she do? Jimmy Hendricks. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I mean, he was quite famous, wasn't he? What, Jimmy Hendricks was incredibly famous. He's like one of the great rock musicians of all time. Famous for his member. Did he have a big member? Well, that's what I was led to believe. Eric Burden from the animals. Eric Burden, wow.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Anthony Newley? Anthony Newley. Oh, yes. Yeah. You see, the thing is, I'm thinking, you go in and you think it's not going to be an erect penis, but then applying the plastic. And then it becomes.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Plastercast then becomes quite a saucy experience. You're like, keep it going, keep it going, keep it going. So when we started this podcast, I never, ever thought we'd be having discussions like this. I think it was just all about 90s nostalgia. And here we are talking about. Do you know what, this is the thing I have loved. It's been the revelation, Joe, I love.
Starting point is 00:21:18 that we get to have these daft chats together. We really do with all our diggers. And, you know, just lightening the mood, lightening the load sometimes. I obviously am going to be doing a deep dive to try and find Jimmy Hendrix erect penis later on in plastic arts. See if I can find a picture of it.
Starting point is 00:21:35 My poor mum and dad, who were objecting to me talking about their ill health and how they were. And they were like, you know, could you just not talk about us? And now they'll be going, can you please talk about us now and not do any of that revolting stuff
Starting point is 00:21:45 that you've sunk to? None of that smut. That smut. No. Okay, let's move on. And this is, this is quite a gear change, but I think this completely represents what we do on Digit, because we celebrate and we share about the light and the shade of life, so the ridiculous and the things that really, really affect us. So Kirsty's been in touch. And we were talking a couple of episodes ago about songs that people choose for their funeral. And this is her voice note. Hi, Zoe and Joe. It's Kirsty here from Booking in Surrey.
Starting point is 00:22:12 I absolutely love listening to your Digit podcast. So thank you for all the things you talk about, are so real about and mostly for making me laugh about. I was just listening to your episode where you were discussing how amazing funerals can be and the fact that they can be a party to say goodbye and a send-off party. And it took me back to last May when I lost my dad, always had a bit of a tricky relationship with him, but in the last few years, especially the past two, when he was really poorly, we found a space again to be ourselves with each other, and it was just amazing. And when we were organising his funeral, my brothers piped up at the funeral directors
Starting point is 00:22:55 that his favourite song that he was going to leave the funeral to was, you won't believe this, it wasn't me by Shaggy. So I nearly fell apart at the seams thinking, we can't have that, we can't have that. And the celebrant persuaded me that actually, if that was his favourite song, that was absolutely fine. But the thought of sitting there at the crematorium in front of my aunties, uncles, my mom, who they were no longer married, and my stepdad, and their faces, when the words of that song chimed up was just beyond anything. His funeral was perfect.
Starting point is 00:23:34 And actually, the song at the end, my boys and I sat in the aisle dancing along, and we danced our way out to, wasn't me. Yeah, best funeral song ever, unexpectedly so. So just thank you and carry on doing what you do. It's amazing. Oh, oh, Kirsty, that sort of made me craft, which we in this household, I'd like to call crying and laughing at the same time, which is, I can hear the emotion in your voice and you're talking about your dad. But also, how unexpected. It is such a great song. I love Shaggy. He's a lats it, dude. And just, it's such a classic. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. I mean, it says a lot, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:24:14 But how joyous. Isn't it great? The most unexpected thing to hear. He wanted what? That was his song. Oh, that is going out in style. I did the Mel Gedroich's podcast the other day where there's a will, there's awake. And I had so much fun on it.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And the great thing about doing that podcast is now I could just, you know, when I'm sort of coming towards the end, I can just give that podcast to the family and go. there you go. They're the things I'd like. They're the songs I'd like at my funeral. And these are some of the things. Oh, you see. And that's such a classic story, Kirsty, of just that little bit of laughter and joy
Starting point is 00:24:53 and something that your dad really wanted at that last little moment is, you know, and the feeling that I gave you and your boys. So good. Oh, I love it. Before we say goodbye, because we have to say goodbye, we have to stop talking at some point, is I would really welcome any advice
Starting point is 00:25:12 that people might have because I'm really, really terrified about the run that I'm doing, signing up to do the landmarks, London landmarks, half marathon. And I thought it was going to be completely attainable. I thought, I need a challenge. I really want to do this. I want to do it with Cass. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:25:25 And I just haven't anticipated how busy I was going to be. And I think the gigs really take their toll because I do the gig on a Friday night. Saturday, I'm just exhausted and physically I'm really hurting. Sunday, I'm still pretty knackered and stiff. And so it's been difficult running then. And then we do the podcast, and then I'm doing my radio show. And I'm just... You're running out of time.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I'm working. all the time and I don't know how to train. I don't know how to fit in those runs. So if anybody's ever done a half marathon with no training whatsoever, I would really love to hear from you or if you can tell me how to get from this point now, the run is in the middle of April. Oh gosh. How I bridge that gap and I try and get myself fit and do those runs and it or should I not, quite a few people keep saying to me, you don't have to do this. You don't have to do it. And I'm like, I do. I do, because I've signed up to it and I want to. Who would you be letting down if you didn't do it, Joe? The people who've organised it who I've arranged, agreed to do it.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I'd be letting down Cass because I said I'd do it with him. Okay. And I'd be letting myself down because I really wanted to do this. And also my friend Amy, who I'm running with. So there's a lot of people that I'd be letting down. All right. I feel like if I don't do it, when am I going to do it? You know, I feel like I'm coping out.
Starting point is 00:26:31 A month for training still. Is that long enough for Joe? Is it long enough? And are you quite fit at the moment? I'm relatively fit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm okay. I mean, I see you've done like runs and things.
Starting point is 00:26:42 things like that and you do triathlons. But I'm definitely feeling older now and less fit than I was five years ago. I feel like a very different physical being. So folks, let's have some honesty. Is this safe for Joe to do this in just a month's time? Because her body probably could do it, should she do it? I would love your advice. Thank you very much indeed. All right, I'll see you. We'll see you soon. See you on the other side. See you on the other side. I'll have a great week, darling. Lots of love. Yeah, and you. Bye.
