For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfya, proper training is required. Tramfya is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them, and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, or need a vaccine. Explore what's possible. Ask your doctor about Tramfya today.

Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word.
SPEAKER_3 (1:08)
My champions, I have sold my chariot on Carvana. It was a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast!
An offer you can feast on. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up fees may apply.

And can you say Josh Widdicombe?
SPEAKER_7 (2:31)
Josh Widdicombe.
Josh Widdicombe (2:33)
Good job.
Luna. Good job. Luna. Luna Rose Skilling, aged five from Stirling in Scotland. She really wants to be in the intro because her big sister Naila is in your audio book. She does Chapter 13, entertaining your child, stay sexy and relatable. Thanks, John Skilling.
Rob Beckett (2:52)
There we go.
Josh Widdicombe (2:53)
There we go. Job done.
Rob Beckett (2:55)
One each. One on the pod, one in the book.
Josh Widdicombe (2:57)
Oh, wait a minute. John Skilling. Oh, good on John Skilling.
Rob Beckett (3:02)
Who's John Skilling?
Josh Widdicombe (3:04)
The dad. You can see he sent this three times.
July the 6th, Monday, July the 6th, Monday, the 3rd of August, Monday, the 31st of August, Monday, the 21st of September.
Rob Beckett (3:18)
Today?
Josh Widdicombe (3:18)
Four times. Yeah. And Michael's finally been, he's been, he's been changing his time of sending. His first end was Monday at 8
8:49 PM. Absolute disaster. Couldn't be further from a record.
Rob Beckett (3:35)
Worst possible time.
Josh Widdicombe (3:36)
Then Monday at 3:01 PM. Terrible. No.
Rob Beckett (3:40)
You might as well do it on fucking Saturday night.
Josh Widdicombe (3:42)
Yeah. Then Monday at 8:34 AM. Good try.
Rob Beckett (3:47)
Solid.
Josh Widdicombe (3:48)
He's getting there. And then this morning, 7:34 AM.
Rob Beckett (3:52)
Early bird, early skillet catches the worm.
Josh Widdicombe (3:57)
The worm, yes.
Rob Beckett (3:59)
Talking of working the system, I saw a really good documentary on Netflix about these Irish syndicate that bought every single lottery ticket combination to win the jackpot.
Josh Widdicombe (4:09)
I'd like to watch that documentary.
Rob Beckett (4:11)
You'd love it. It's great.
Josh Widdicombe (4:13)
That sounds good. No more spoilers.
Rob Beckett (4:14)
Does it work out? Do you want a spoiler?
Josh Widdicombe (4:18)
Yep.
Rob Beckett (4:18)
So, yes, it does. But they have to share it with three other people. So they only get like a third of the main jackpot. But because they bought so many others, they earned loads of money on the matching four, matching fives.
