What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Coming up on Dig It. I hate the word manifesting. When people say, oh, you need to manifest something and then it will happen. I'm like, no, you make it happen. You have a goal. You have something that you want to happen. You have an ambition. And then you just work really hard to make that happen.
It'd be quite nice to be able to say to that person, do you really believe? I mean, what do you want us to do? Disappear behind the door? Yeah. Never come out again.
Goodness me. Is this what blokes are like now? Is this what young boys are going to grow up to aspire to be? no they're not they're going to aspire to be Jude Belliam or any of the England players they're going to want to be kind selfless people it's the antidote to the manosphere this whole thing all of that right after this
Hello, Diggers. Hello, Jo, my darling. Hi. How are you doing? It's a bit of a time for you at the moment, isn't it?
I haven't had the best week, Zoe, I'll be honest with you. Yeah. It's been quite a tough week. I remember talking last week And I mentioned about my dad and how his Parkinson's seemed to be playing up and how he wasn't great. And then we finished doing the record and then everything just went to shit after that. I shouldn't swear because my parents don't like me swearing. But yeah, I went and did my radio show. And actually, before I did the radio show, after we finished recording, I went and saw my mum and dad. And it was really clear that my dad wasn't very well, but we weren't quite sure what was wrong. He was moving very slowly, really wasn't all there. And so anyway, went to my radio show, then got a call to say that dad was talking nonsense, was talking gobbledygook.
And we were like, oh, okay, alarm bells.
Yeah.
Steve and I went to see him. We got an ambulance out. He got taken to hospital and we found out a massive bleed on the brain. So we stayed with him for quite a long time in the ambulance. Can I just mention the paramedics who were in the ambulance because they were so brilliant. They were Charlie and Andy, I think. My mum was obsessed with how Andy looked like Ian from Casualty, which he was quite happy about. And he went and got us hot chocolate. So they were just amazing, those paramedics. They were so good. So I think he stayed in the ambulance for quite a long time. Then we decided to go because there was nothing we could do. Went back to see him on the Monday and the doctor said that, yeah, he'd had a massive bleed.
He was kind of a little bit with it when we saw him. We spent the whole day in accident and emergency. He slept there all night.
How did Jo describe her father's sudden hospitalisation and diagnosis?
Talked to some amazing doctors by the end of the day. They're obviously, you know, the NHS is incredibly short staffed and it's very, very tough for all those people who work there. So we talked to the doctors, got some answers, gave our answers to what we wanted to happen with dad. And he's now been moved on to a ward where he's just been kept comfortable. So he's not going to get better. So everyone's been and said hellos and goodbyes.
Oh, darling. Yeah. It's just saying those things out loud, isn't it? It's really tough. You're holding it together for everybody else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no. The only person who hasn't got upset is my mum. Oh, really? You know, I've always said she's this amazing powerhouse. And even like old friends of mine have got in touch and they've said, how's your mum? I know she's stoic. And I'm like, yeah, she's still being stoic. So, yeah, the hardest thing is for the kids going to see their granddad. And seeing how upset they are. But it's been good because they've all gone. And the thing I've learned is it's really important to speak to people no matter, you know, we don't know whether they can hear or what's going on. And they say that hearing is the last thing to go. So we've had some really nice conversations talking to him.
So the family sharing memories and telling him how much you love him and him, if he can hear, to be able to hear your voices and know that you're with him. Because it's such a shock when you're faced with that.
