This week, Jamie and Sophie are joined by doula extraordinaire Poppy Child, who swoops in with some much-needed wisdom — and the occasional reality check.
From breathing tips to contraction hacks, Poppy talks them through the A–Z of surviving childbirth. PLUS, Poppy gives Jamie a live tutorial in perineal massage — but will Jamie’s enthusiasm score him top of the class, or just a pain in Sophie’s derrière? 🍑 Brace yourselves... it’s about to get weird.
ALSO, the couple have a scandalous sex update and a heated debate about which positions they’ll try next time they do the deed. 👀

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
