to her friend, Laurie, whose 30th is over the holidays. Welcome to the 30s. The nicest thing she says that's happened this year is receiving a rare hug from Fletch at the FVH live show. How did you find all those hugs with strangers? It was quite overwhelming.

We're work friends. Oh, my God. I hug Shannon all the time. Yeah, and it's inappropriate. It's inappropriate. I put a mark on my HR call sheet. Did you? Yeah. It felt like quite a consensual hug.

Two hugs. Yeah, Shannon and Gret. The naughtiest moment, though, she might have caught something off Fletcher, that hug. Oh, fuck off. Because she is spending her holidays travelling Central America. See, puppy? She went to puppy.

Where is she going? I'm going to be a little bit of Central America. I'm going to be doing South America. See, mummy. You'll be busy, though. You won't have time, will you? Yeah, I'm hiking. Yeah, busy.

Hiking, is it? Fuck off Mounting, I think they call it It's not a gift Going up a mountain Yeah, mounting Mounting No, it's not mounting I'm pretty sure it's called mounting

Every now and then we get some thirsty messages in for Vaughn. I'll never forget when a fellow comedian asked me how I cope with working with Vaughn

because he wouldn't be able to look him in the face. That's how hot she found Vaughn. She was like, how do you even manage in the studio? I wouldn't be able to look at him. I've got used to it. Yeah. Sort of an immunity of sorts. Yeah, he's numb to it now. It's so often. Yeah. Alana
