A 50-year-old woman woke up in a hospital bed last week, angry and confused, because her execution didn’t work. Jessie unpacks the Christa Pike case, and Holly has questions about the Pentagon’s plan livestream the next one.

Stand on the edge of the photo, please, so we can crop you out later. One woman has been getting that treatment from her in-laws for 30 years, and Mia, who is Jessie Stephens’ mother-in-law, wants to talk about it. Jessie is surprisingly understanding.

Also, the boss of Signal refused to play along with a BBC quickfire round, and Holly is worried our feeds have trained us to want real-life conversations on 2x speed. 

And, Shanghai has put timers on its public toilets. Mia reckons she’d win.
