Yeah, it just makes everybody feel inadequate, I think. Whether you're 14, whether you're 40, whether you're 70 or whatever. It's just that whole feeling of looking at someone else's life is very, very detrimental to anyone's mental health. Yeah. All of that, right after this.

Hello, Joe. You got the turquoise memo.

Chapter 2: How does social media impact mental health?

113.942 - 136.803 Zoe Ball

Yeah, I did. Look, I think it's the exact same shade. How bizarre. We are in the same shade. This is what happens. You hang out with each other long enough. You know what it's like. You start getting the same periods, but I don't get a period anymore. So we don't have that, but we do sync. I've actually come dressed as, my inspiration has been David Hockney for today's outfit.

136.823 - 139.825 Zoe Ball

I've got this picture that hangs in my, it's a poster.

140.566 - 161.207 Zoe Ball

I've got this poster that hangs in my bathroom. It's really grubby. Don't judge. I need to polish it. I think this is his place in Los Angeles, one of his homes. And I've come dressed as the turquoise and the yellow. And I think that was subliminal sort of influence this morning. Having lost David Hockney last week.

161.187 - 169.244 Zoe Ball

I've been obsessed reading everything, listening to everything David Hockney this weekend and really enjoying it.

Chapter 3: What are the benefits of spending time in the garden?

169.264 - 170.827 Zoe Ball

What an incredible man.

0

170.988 - 186.539 Jo Whiley

But to have reached the age that he did, to have lived the life and the reflections that he said himself was incredible. I've had a great life and you can't ask for anything more than that. You know, the worst thing is to be grumpy and sad and miserable and not want to be here anymore. But he lived a really great life and enjoyed himself.

0

186.659 - 196.999 Jo Whiley

And he was such an important person in the world of art and to all of us, such a huge influence. So, yeah, I don't think you can ask for anything more just to bow out happily, having a complete life.

0

196.979 - 228.463 Zoe Ball

He's sort of, you know, the greatest philosopher in a way, as well as being the most incredible artist. And also such how ahead of his time he was, you know, he was painting incredible paintings of, you know, queer life before... it was even decriminalized, you know, and just so, I mean, how important that is in itself. So in all these different ways, Hockney just, there's no one else like him.

228.863 - 248.097 Jo Whiley

It's amazing. No, he led the way. One of our crew, one of our head honchos, Dino, sent a thing this morning and it was about David's mum when she came to visit him in California. She looked out and it was obviously clear blue skies, the blue that he's infamous for, clear blue skies. She just looked out and went, oh, what a shame. It's a perfect day for washing and no one's got their washing out.

248.077 - 264.982 Jo Whiley

It's that kind of grounding. That's where he came from. And that, yeah, that never left him, did it? And never, ever left him. He was so cool. You look at all the photographs of him when he was younger, the way he dressed, he was just such an amazing, iconic fashionista in the early days and to the very, very end.

265.022 - 276.279 Zoe Ball

Yeah, absolutely. And all these wonderful stories about how he would have people over for dinner and then sometimes he'd get a little tired and, you know, say to his assistant, actually, I'm you know, I think we're just going to chill out tonight.

276.339 - 295.228 Zoe Ball

And his assistant would have to call, you know, Elizabeth Taylor and all these, you know, phenomenal people who were his friends and just say, actually, David, he's not up for it tonight. And people talking about the art that he would send them, the gifts he would give them. And he talked about it himself. You know, so many of his friends will have

295.208 - 323.758 Zoe Ball

just incredible works that he's done just for them. There's a great picture. I think it's Damien Lewis had visited the villa where David Hockney had stayed, where he did his incredible painting of the swimming pool. He's recreated it with a friend. That's Damien Lewis standing by the pool in the red jacket and his friend swimming in the pool. So many people have incredible stories.

Chapter 4: What tips can improve shady garden areas?

658.405 - 693.808

Choose heading to a World Cup. Choose patty scones on a Tuesday and pizza on a Wednesday. Ignore everyone telling you it's easier the other way and embrace being the underdog. And choose a skipper who's always on duty. Scotty, you on the way to the airport? Yeah, I'm on my way. Choose getting absolutely written off and getting up and showing them anyway.

694.148 - 701.737

You can't choose where you're born, but you can choose who you stand with.

0

701.757 - 702.658 Jo Whiley

Choose Scotland. It's so good!

703.246 - 713.641 Zoe Ball

Was that Lewis Capaldi? Lewis Capaldi doing the voiceover instead of Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting. And it's that play on the Trainspotting. You know, it's so good, isn't it?

714.282 - 732.809 Jo Whiley

It's joyful. We've been watching quite a lot because Cass is obsessed. Steve's obsessed. We've all got our sweepstakes. I've got Portugal in my sweepstake. Also, yeah, Germany as well. So we watched Germany. We watched the... They played Curacao. Is that who they played? I think the other day. Who had their first... ever World Cup game.

732.829 - 740.602 Jo Whiley

Yeah, and their population can fit into three football stadiums, which is quite mind-blowing. I love all the statistics they keep throwing at us.

740.763 - 748.035 Zoe Ball

They would be 7-1, but in a way, if that's their population, that should be taken into account.

748.015 - 762.568 Jo Whiley

There is always someone watching football at some point. So it's kind of building up and building up and it will hit a frenzy when Keith arrives and it will just be non-stop football all the time. And it'll be a lot of fun. It's just nice to have something like fun to enjoy, isn't it?

762.648 - 786.117 Zoe Ball

Well, yeah. That is when sport is so brilliant, isn't it? When there is something so huge that means so much to fans who've been patient. I love that passion for sport. And it's like community, isn't it? I love how it brings friends together and families together and communities together and countries together. And we need that.
