This week starts out with Lisa coughing in Amy's bubbles. It's supposed to be an episode discussing 'what you'd do differently' and 'what you'd tell your younger self', but it turns into more of a champers-fuelled confession about a random dude that Amy banged on a family holiday.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
