This episode contains deep, heartfelt chats about IVF treatment, stillbirth and a difficult journey to becoming pregnant. If you're on this journey, you may want to skip this episode. We understand xx

Show Description:

👨 Father's Day gets the Lads Anonymous treatment. From bum bags, jellyfish disasters and dads walking fully clothed into swimming pools, to IVF, loss, hope, fatherhood and the memories that shape us. Bring a tangerine and a tissue. Happy Father's Day, LADS.

Jack's Charity Deets: https://www.justgiving.com/page/downslinkfordownsyndrome3 Please show the LAD some love!

TOPIC FOR NEXT WEEK: Dreams, dreaming and daydreams. What happens when we dream, and what does it all mean? Dreaming is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in neuroscience, and Flav and I are gonna figure it out: worst dreams, recurring dreams, nice dreams, day terrors, when you speak to people who have passed, or your dream demons. Send us your weird dreams to discuss.
