LuAnna: The Podcast

On this ep: Lu lives in Dubai and is still somehow the palest person on this pod, Anna is picking a spot & Imo is finishing her breakfast. It's Totally Extra.

This week we've a grown man who eats cereal with a teaspoon, a pregnant woman trapped in a caravan who got her revenge via 5am cupboard-banging, a shit gift that is literally the worst thing we've seen and a bridesmaid to be concerned about.

Plus your inappropriate laughs: Vicks tissues handed out at a funeral, a registrar falling over mid-wedding, and an inappropriate theme tune as the curtain went round.

On this week’s LuAnna: The post-Halloween debrief, Lu in full skeleton catsuit and Andrew in a bedazzled jacket, cape and bowtie all for Count Dracula’s Halloween night out in Dubai, meanwhile Anna bazzed around Windermere with the kids, and sat in the car laughing at the situation that unfolded.

Anna flashes ramblers mid wild-wee, we unbox our brand new Agendes and an I Said What I Said covering airport walkers, cutting food with scissors and tenderstem broccoli. We’re also hearing your laughing in inappropriate moments stories, giving advice to a woman with a partner/extra child and naughty Nora sexing it up with a dutch hunk.

PLUS, the home alone debate- when can you stop paying a babysitter and just leave your kids? Your poll results, the official guidance, and why Enzo will be supervised until adulthood. A cruise passenger found alive after 20 hours at sea, public loos in China with timers above the stalls, and a proper rant about what women are actually doing in there.

On this Extra Hot Episode: A BLINK special with Jake Haendel, the man behind the podcast that Luisa reckoned and all of us became obsessed with.

Jake was a high-functioning heroin user working as a chef when he was diagnosed in 2017 with a rare and usually fatal brain condition. Given months to live, he gradually lost movement and speech and later became locked in, fully conscious. Doctors believed he was essentially brain dead, but he was conscious for all of it.

We talk to Jake about the parts Blink left out: the part addiction played, how he realised the severity of his condition, the panic and the strength of mind needed. Plus his account of what happened with his then-wife Ellen, the sperm collected while he couldn't consent, the eighteen months it took to get it back, and why he says he still isn't angry with her.

We also answer your questions. Did he sleep? Did he get songs in his head? And what are his views on assisted dying as someone who came back from the brink.

Jake is @miraclman31 on socials. Listen to Blink first if you haven’t yet done so.

On this week's Totally Extra: the pumpkin patch rant that says what everyone's been thinking, a lifetime of singing "leave me, Bradley” to a Corrs classic, and a Rate My Fart/Blow off sent in from a Radio 1 DJ that genuinely raises the bar.

Plus, we read a viral Reddit Halloween horror story from a man whose wife starts peeking at him from around corners, and it escalates considerably. Anna is properly rattled and Lu is genuinely conflicted as to whether his wife is dead, a ghost, a dog or just wants a divorce.

On this week's LuAnna: We weigh in on all the Big Brother drama surrounding Omar & Rihanna that triggered significant viewer backlash, Ofcom complaints and a statement from Women’s Aid. The girls chat the clips, the pressure-cooker nature of reality formats & if they think Omar should have been removed from the house.

Plus, Happy (almost) Halloween! Lu is back in Dubai, decorating her enormous triple-height front door using a ridiculously large ladder and dressing in a bedazzled cat suit, meanwhile Anna is Halloweening as a sexy witch around a village in the Lakes. I said what I said is back with some more corking hot takes, and we get a definitive answer on whether we’d choose dog or human faeces to cover ourselves in.
