This is a Global Player Original Podcast. You were about to say Vivo Gwilliams. I was, yeah. Hello, everybody. I'm so used to you going first.
I can hear it in my...
It's in my...
Candidates.
Let's switch it up.
Everyone will get such a fright now.
They're such a fright.
They'll be like,
oh my God, they sound so different.
I'm completely thrown.
And Joe's here.
Hello.
Creeping away in the corner.
In one of his darkness t-shirts.
He's having a bad time.
Why is he having a bad time?
Because of...
You?
No, no, no, not me this time. No, it's not actually. Why is he having a bad time? Because of... You? No, no, no, not me this time.
No, it's not actually.
Why are you having a bad time?
Our baby's not sleeping.
She's a bit tired.
That's why I'm having a coffee now at four o'clock.
You mad bastard.
Oh God.
It's really bad times when the baby doesn't sleep.
It's really bad times.
Yeah.
I mean, the night nanny must have a really difficult...
Yeah.
She's on holiday
I'm only joking
I honestly
like there were times
that I thought
I was going to lose my mind
like you really feel
like you're going to die
you're just like
how can I
and for someone who likes
eight hours of sleep
I'd sometimes
every
is it every couple of hours
how old is she
they have
see they have regressions
and they sneak them in
every so often
Otto is through
that
my kids sleep
through the night
I'm really sorry
to tell you that
but you will
get there
is what I'm saying
I've never had
a point in my life
where I just
might burst
into tears
all the time
yeah
that's never
happened to me
I know
I might burst
into tears
in a minute
because it
never stops
because you
can't see
the end of it
yeah
Spenny would
sleep through it.
At least you're probably a team
which must feel nice.
I'd look at Spenny.
Spencer does look,
throughout the pregnancies
I've known him,
he's always looked very well rested.
He is like,
I mean,
when someone...
Not a line on that man's face.
And I do say to him,
I'm like,
because I'm breastfeeding,
do you want to just like
sleep in another room?
And he's like,
no, I won't wake up.
And he never wakes up. Not even after the breastfeeding ends. He just never like sleep in another room and he's like no I won't wake up and he never wakes up
not even after the breastfeeding ends
he just never ever wakes up
it's just me that wakes up
well yeah
it's annoying
like this is why
I know the night nanny
is a very bougie concept
but
it doesn't work
when you're breastfeeding
well I was kind of shocked
would you not just pump
like basically
the night nanny comes in
hands you the baby
and you still have to wake up
breastfeed the baby and then give it back to the night nanny the night nanny puts it down again what's the point, night nanny comes in, hands you the baby and you still have to wake up, breastfeed the baby
and then give it back to the night nanny.
The night nanny puts it down again.
What's the point then?
There's no point.
That's the point.
There's no point.
Would you not just pump
and give them the things
you can sleep through the night?
No, because you have to wake up anyway to pump.
The best thing to do,
which like,
but like,
I think next time,
I remember I breastfed Gigi for a whole year.
I think,
I think six months and I'd be done
because the sleep is so difficult.
And like, I get them out of the room.
I don't get them out of the room.
Like, people leave them in the room for like,
I hear them, they're out, they're gone.
Like, I nap during the day now
as well as my night's sleep.
I've had a couple of naps last week as well.
I don't know what happened.
One day I was like...
We're perimenopausal.
Oh no, it must be
no because my period's
right on time
doesn't matter
everyone's telling me
that so you're coming
down with me now
I'm 38
it's the first time
I've ever tracked my period
I still don't
I'm like oh what's that
oh Jesus
I can't believe
how spot on it is
I can't even sit
on my own couch
because I have no idea
where my period's coming
I have to have a box
of tampons beside I have to plug one in every time I even try to sit on that white couch do you know what I have to have a box of tampons beside it
to plug one in
every time I even
try to sit on
that white couch
do you know what
I was fed up
I was fed up of
wasting those
gorgeous new
knickers that I
bought in
Victoria's Secret
and sometimes
and there's nothing
you can do
shout nothing
vanish nothing
you just have to be
and I don't want to
be caught off guard
like that
I know
it's really annoying
I've run some
great
pants
I really have pants pantaloon and if it's really annoying I've ruined some great pants I really have
pants
pantaloon
and if it's a bad time
during the night
and you ruin your jammies
I've just
it's too much money
it's too much
it's too much
so what are we saying
what's the
what are we getting
a hysterectomy
I don't know
do you remember
that gorgeous thing
I might have to get
a hysterectomy
so I can sit
in that fucking couch
you know
I would have liked to have been aerectomy so I can sit in that fucking couch. You know?
I would have liked to have been a mother,
but unfortunately that didn't happen for me because I bought a white couch
the size of a Cadillac.
It's a gorgeous white couch.
It's fat.
And at least you don't have to
zhoosh the pillows.
It's a very you-like couch.
You know that couch I have downstairs
that has to be zhooshed the whole time?
Yeah, there's no zhooshing.
It lives downstairs because no one goes there. I have a zhoosh-free life. Nothing gets zhooshed. I don't want to z downstairs that has to be judged the whole time it lives downstairs because no one goes there
I have a judge free life
nothing gets judged
I don't want to judge
to be honest
no no no
there'll be no judging done
judging
you know that lovely
Paulita jumpsuit
that we both wore the life out of
that I ripped the gusset on
well you ripped the gusset
and then I perioded
on the gusset
did you
it's a dying jumpsuit
no it's not
it's a woman's jumpsuit
it's a woman who works jumps it's not it's a woman's jumpsuit it's a woman who works
jumpsuit
I burst the gusset
doing the tasks
in Taskmaster
and I perioded it
just from being a woman
I was being a woman
before I was tracking
yeah
a pre-tracking woman
sure even when I am tracking
it's fucking
it's all to play for
even when I know it's there
I know I's there I know
I still can't
keep a lid on it
it's an absolute joke
little panty liner
I know
a panty liner
and a tampon day
it's out of control
I can't do the pads
I can't
you can get a thong
panty liner
did you know that
I don't have any
because I feel like
they wouldn't work
so I get the other ones
and push it around
but I have a real period
anyway moving on
moving on from the period chat
I would like to discuss
I've moved into my
hypochondriac era
okay
so basically
I
I've been
my algorithms
and TikTok at the moment
are very
it's very cancer heavy
yeah
so I'm big into
I'm not big into
it's not like a hobby
but like
for whatever reason.
Now, in all seriousness,
how do you know,
like, do you know,
do you know the way
I'd be like,
right, there's a lot of stroke
and heart attack in my family.
You're adopted.
Yeah.
Do you know what's in your family?
Nothing.
Oh, well, when I found,
there's nothing major.
Oh, that's lucky.
Yeah, there's so many,
alcoholism,
which is news to nobody.
Me too. Yeah, there's alcoholism in anyone, like anyone who's alive. Hello. Yeah, there's so many. Alcoholism, which is news to nobody. Me too.
Yeah, there's alcohol in anyone.
Like anyone who's alive.
Hello.
Yeah.
God, I love alcoholics.
I swear to God.
And just keep trying to fix me
because someday it will work.
It does eventually.
I rub off eventually.
Yeah.
Then I'll just have to find myself a new alcoholic.
I'll move into the basement
and see if Benno will drink secretly
in the sauna.
In the sauna.
Telling you we're both on the drive.
Because you'll get drunk quicker.
Those guys have been plunging for hours out there.
Oh, they're snorting their vitamins today.
Good for them.
Oh, Christ.
I said that.
Who was...
Spani was a... Spani said that he could marry you because he knows you'd have a lot of fun with you. I said who was Spenny was
Spenny said that
he could marry you
because he knows
he'd have a lot of fun with you
yeah that's true
and I wouldn't
I would let him just drink himself
into an early grave
yeah and you wouldn't annoy him
you wouldn't bother him
you wouldn't make him tidy up
although I would
I know that you're
on a different level
of cleanliness
but it's different
now
I am like
all I do is
fucking clean that flat
I know
and I've seen you
on holidays
when we were in
when we weren't on holidays
we were working
in Australia
I went into her room
wasn't a mess
no it wasn't a mess
I couldn't believe my eyes
now that is definitely
you have
I think you get to a stage
where you're like
my life
I need
I need some organisation
somewhere
not everything can be chaos
I need to work on your packing
I have to work on your packing skills
the packing is still not great.
So anyway, I'm on TikTok
and I was big into the Kat Janis story
and God love her.
Who?
Kat Janis.
Who's that?
So she was on TikTok.
She's a singer.
I think I showed you her.
She had a song.
She had cancer and she was dying
and so she brought out this song.
She was a singer
and all the royalties,
she asked people to download it
and then it went viral
and all the royalties go to her son.
So she died there the other day oh no how old was she
he's
oh she was like
31
that's desperate
31 and she's a kid
I know
really really sad
and then
remember we did talk about her
because then she
she was into
she was liking Israel's tweets
and then everyone was trying to cancel her
and she was
no I don't remember that
do you not
was it not you I was talking to with this
no
so everyone was pro-Kat
and everyone was getting around
and reusing the song
and it went viral
and then it transpired.
Now this woman is
on her actual deathbed.
Like, you know.
Yeah.
Weeks to live.
And she was,
I think,
I don't know
what happened,
but she was liking tweets
from Israel.
Oh.
Their official Twitter account.
And next thing,
TikTok kicks off,
they're like,
cancel Kat Janis,
like she's,
Oh God.
She's not,
they're like,
cancel her,
she's,
she's got like two weeks to live.
Oh God.
Yeah.
So that happened in the last two weeks as well.
It was about,
yeah,
it was within about 28th of Feb she died.
Jesus,
oh no.
Trying to cancel a dying woman
what has happened to us
I know
we are desperate
we're desperate
just fucking let it go
honestly
you know what I mean
anyway
so now you thought you were dying
sorry
so anyway
I was having a feel of myself
and I found a lump
so then
I found a lump in my jawline
and I was like
well obviously it's a sarcoma
so I was fucking freaking
because that's what Kat Janice had she had a sarcoma she had sarcoma so I was like what's a sarcoma it's a lump in my jawline and I was like, well, obviously it's a sarcoma. So I was fucking freaking out because that's what Kat Janice had.
She had a sarcoma.
She had sarcoma.
So I was like, what's a sarcoma?
It's a lump.
It's like a really unusual cancer.
I was like, it's a guy who's got a sarcoma or a lymphoma or a fucking renal failure or liver failure or something.
And I was freaked out.
And I really, I was like.
It's one of those little things I've got.
And then I rang my mum and I was like, I found a lump.
And it's mad, like the impact that sentence has on people.
I know, that's a lot to say to somebody now.
You can't be bringing out, I've a lump.
I found a lump.
You cannot say I've a lump to your poor mother.
But I did find a lump.
It was a cyst, I'd say.
It wasn't, it was a lump.
It was a cyst?
It was a lump.
It was a cyst.
It was a lump.
But like in films and everything, they always say, I found a lump. It was a cyst. It was a lump. But like,
in films and everything,
they always say,
I found a lump
and next thing they're being
lowered into the ground
in Wisconsin or whatever.
Do you know?
Anyway, it's like,
I found a lump.
And mum's like,
where is it?
I was like,
it's in my jawline.
Anyway, I went down to the doctor
and so the next morning
I rang that emergency doctor
that you gave me.
She's not an emergency doctor.
She's just a doctor.
Anyway, obviously,
I texted my school friends
that I found a lump. I school friends that I found a lump.
I was telling everyone
I found a lump.
Of course,
because I was on my own
in the flat.
So I was like,
I need people to realise
like I found a lump.
And I kept pushing it
and I googled it
and they're like,
if it's soft,
there's nothing to worry about.
But if it's hard,
it's something to be seen.
So mine was hard
as a rock of hell.
Okay, what did she say
did she say it was a cyst
well I woke up
so I rang the doctor
and she was like come down
she's like is it urgent
or can it wait till next week
and I said well I found a lump
and she was like
I'll see you first thing
tomorrow morning
so then when she gave me
that like kind of
crisis reaction
I was like this is serious guys
this is serious
were you back on
to co-op funerals
I rang
I was like what who have we done an ad with that would help me in this situation Were you back on to co-op funerals? I ran.
I was like,
who have we done an ad with that could help me in this situation?
And I'd just done Kathy Burke's podcast
about your ideal death and everything.
I did feel closer to death after doing that.
The problem with it is,
is that at our age,
and I'm throwing you in here as well.
I'm only two years younger than you.
You're only two years.
Which is a lot, by the way. What are you, Jo? I'm dog years. I'm 33 this year two years younger than you. You're only two years. Which is a lot, by the way.
What are you, Jo?
I'm dog years.
I'm 33 this year.
Get out of here.
You're only 32.
Yeah.
Oh.
He's never had any Botox,
I think, so.
It's not his fault.
I'm going to catch up with you two
quite rapidly.
You're mid-forties at least.
He's very tired.
You've lived.
I didn't know you smoked.
I'm going to look older than you two
in roughly two years.
Oh, yeah.
You drank at half nine
in the morning one time
when we were in the airport.
That's, you know.
Where the fuck?
I wasn't either.
You were in Ireland.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he got a head start,
you know.
It's a bit late
if you ask me.
Tell us what was.
Sorry.
So I woke up anyway
and I was convinced
I had this sarcoma
and then I was on my way down
for the emergency
and the lump was going down and I was convinced I had this sarcoma and then I was on my way down for the emergency and the lump was going down
and I was like
fuck
and you're like
come on come on come on
come on come on
the whole way down
I was like feeling it
to make sure it was still there
and it was going
it was going down
so what did she say it was
she said
well she did the test
I'm going for a scan
it's still a lump
I found a lump
but it's in my jawline
she was like look
it's probably a lymph node
or something
but what she did say was
she was like you're
absolutely dead right
you are at the stage
where
a lump is scary
you have to take
these things seriously
she's like you should be
she was like when
she likes your smear
I was like
oh god I have to get a smear
I have to get a smear
she's like you need to
be getting colonoscopies
you need to be checking
for lumps
like all that stuff
but I do also need to
change my algorithms
on TikTok
because it's
I can't live in fear all the time but I'm going to to change my algorithms on TikTok because it's I can't live in fear
all the time
but I'm going to die
no because I actually had
last week
when Sven and I
were in Belfast
I had really bad pain
in one eye
just behind one eye
and I had it for like
two days
and I was like
why do I have such a bad
and it was like
I felt like a big headache
and I was like
okay now I've been
getting headaches
thinking back
I've been getting headaches
and then I was terrified
so I went into
Spec Service every little helps now that's not their tagline it's not their tagline okay now I've been getting headaches thinking back I've been getting headaches and then I was terrified so I went into Specsavers
every little helps
now that's not their tagline
that's their tagline
Specsavers is
gift of sight
Specsavers
Specsavers
look along
they're not paying for this
so we don't care
yeah exactly
anyway so I went into Specsavers
and your man looked in my eyes
nothing wrong with me
nothing at all
it was just dirt
I had dirty eyes
that were causing
dirty eyes from
makeup
that were causing
pain behind the eyes
and I honestly
thought that I had
brain tumour
well do you know why
because we're
it's probably
over reported
people
perfectly healthy
people
who are living
their lives
and they have
no symptoms
and then they
develop a little
cough
and next thing
they're told
they've
they're stage four or whatever.
And that happens and it's scary.
So you're dead right to go in and get yourself checked.
I know I did.
And do you know what I left with?
I left with the knowledge that I'm in the group of 10% of people that can read one of the lines.
There's one line and only 10% of the population can read it.
No way.
And I'm in there.
Great eyesight, terrible hearing.
Did you get the test for free
if you could read the last line?
Is that why you
pushed yourself?
I made sure I knew
what that was.
I was cheating.
I was going to say something
that wouldn't have been funny there.
Go on. F***. F have been funny there. Go on.
F***.
F***.
I know.
So Joanne's over at my house yesterday
and Spenny has filmed this thing
that I've heard endlessly about.
When I do a job,
I don't tell Spenny endlessly.
He sent me about 150 to 200 pictures
when he was there
and I didn't show them to anyone else because he sent them to me. He was really there and I didn't show them to anyone else
because he sent them to me
he was really surprised
that I hadn't shown them
to Alexander
and I'm like
send them to Oz yourself
and secondly
I wouldn't be going around
showing people pictures
of myself
Joanne's only got
one foot in the door
he's got the phone
straight out
showing her pictures
the poor man
do you not think
that that is so strange
no
I really don't
would you come in and start showing
me pictures of your new tour pictures?
A hundred percent.
Would you go and show Spenny you wouldn't?
Well I did ask him what he'd been up to I think
didn't I? I thought it was unusual.
Do you not think it's unusual? It's not unusual.
Like if I was like hey what are you doing? You're like I filmed
this TV show. Here's some of the photos.
Here's a fucking album to look at. You can tell
he's really proud because it is he's a very proud man
he's proud
he's only proud of himself
it's very cool
it's very like
fear and loathing vibes
and I think he wanted
to get that across
my god
I feel like he's starting
to send like nudes
to our parents
whatsapp group
honestly
did I tell you about
I think I told you
so you know the way
some people just send
little DMs every now and again
about stuff we've spoken
about in the pod
and I find them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I can't remember what we were, it must have been something about accidentally sending things to people.
But I found this DM from this woman who said her husband, the cleaner in his office, so they're all like obviously WhatsApp contacts.
Yeah.
As her WhatsApp status accidentally posted a photo.
She was like in her kind of late 60s
photo of herself
masturbating into a mirror.
Oh God.
That's her setting.
Oh God.
I know.
Oh my God.
I know.
I know.
She's about to lose one.
I know.
So bad.
Oh my God. She'll probably think no one saw it. No one will ever say anything. Someone's going to have to have said it to her. Oh my God. I know so bad I know oh my god
she'll probably think
no one saw it
no one will ever say anything
someone's gonna have to
have said it to her
oh my god
they would've
I know somebody
who
obviously screen grabbed
an email from their bank
and posted it
to their whatsapp
remember I reposted
that review
of us as well
you did yeah
because my stepdad
sent me the review
and I was
I don't know how it happened
yeah I don't know how it happens
it's the worst
I know I feel very bad for her
I did do a call out
actually speaking of that
people
speaking of what
speaking of people
mailing you
because I was meant to do this
last week and I forgot
so it's about
spawning your ex
in public
you know when that happens
when you first
we love stories around exes
we love stories around breakups
we just do
live for it
like it actually
hasn't happened to me
too many times
I've never
bumped into my ex-husband
touch wood
never
it's kind of
it's very lucky
yeah it's very lucky
very lucky
yeah yeah yeah
because I don't know
I wouldn't
anyway
it's different if you
share a social circle
some people just can't
avoid their exes
like friends weddings or whatever I did have another another people just can't avoid their exes like friends weddings
or whatever i did have an other another ex and uh there was two other exes i could remember
bumping into one was this guy that i went out with in school and i thought he was really cool
because he was older than me and uh how old well he was 26 and i was 17 and and i thought he was
really cool and then he broke up with me and he got back with his ex and i was driving home from
school with my mom and he was in the car in front with back with his ex and I was driving home from school with my mum
and he was in the car
in front with his
with his ex-girlfriend
and they were back together
and I remember
sitting there with my mum
being like
it's emotional yeah
it's hard when they move on
have you ever
bumped into an ex?
yes
now
yeah
I'm trying to think
yeah
I always know
Joanne's is going to be good no no no no no it's not actually it's not I'm just to think yeah I always know Joanne's is going to be good
no no no no no
it's not actually
it's not
I'm just thinking
what can I say
em
so one guy
I went out with
for years
I was like
obsessed with him
as I am with all of them
and em
he
I bumped
I was working in PR
at the time
and I was doing
the guest list
for the cinema
we were doing
a premiere of something
and he walked up
with his new girlfriend.
But like, oh no, like we were long over.
Like it didn't matter at all.
And I got down off the seat because I was in PR.
I kissed him hello because that's on the cheek.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's fine.
His face, not his fucking ass.
That's fine.
Do you know what I mean?
Jo's looking at me like I've done something insane.
Not his fucking ass.
Jo's looking at me like I've done something
like really bizarre
because Joanne usually
kisses people on the ass
that's how she does this
any man I meet
she was really respectful
to the ex though
hi King
I jumped down off the seat
gave him a kiss hello
he was with his girlfriend
and then they went
into the cinema
and then he messaged me
then a couple of days after
and he was like
nice to see you
but did you really have to
kiss me in front of my girlfriend stop after and he was like nice to see you but did you really have to kiss me in front of my
Stop!
Yeah and I was like
Grow up!
Grow up!
Who was that?
You don't know
Gilly Dick
That's so embarrassing
I was like
I didn't wear the face off you
Is that right?
I can't
I don't think I actually
wrote back to him
I can't remember
I'd have to check my DMs
That is pathetic
I remember I bummed
I was like are you that
are you and her that fragile I haven't seen you in about 12 years well she obviously must have gotten pissy
about it okay well I had some things uh bumping into an ex yes go on one girl I was dressed up
as a full-on witch green face and all we'd been out for about 15 minutes he was obviously trick
or treating um and I was taking my little um nephew approximately four years old up to every
door so I ring the doorbell of the next house lined up to be greeted by one of my exes.
Imagine that grief.
Why was she?
She was dressed up as a witch.
It was Halloween.
She was bringing her nephew around.
Oh, no.
And she called to his door.
No.
No.
No.
Hang on.
My ex lives across from me, but I successfully avoided bumping into him for six months.
Well, ran into him
and his new girlfriend
while bundled up
like a snowman
turns out she's also
a small curly haired brunette
American
just ten years younger than me
with a posher job
ouch
that would hurt
but I think that people
always
like there's always
kind of
like I've seen people
go out with people
who are literally
the new
the new partner
is twinning with the old partner I find that really strange so I actually I've had this conversation out with people who are literally, the new partner is twinning with the old partner.
I find that really strange.
So I actually, I've had this conversation with Sven.
I was like, if we broke up, who would you,
he's like, oh, I'd go out with a lawyer.
And I'm like, okay, God, that's pretty specific.
Yeah, so he would literally,
he would want to go out with a lawyer.
So he could take you down probably for a little bit.
Yeah, take me down for free.
That sounds like more something I would do.
It does.
Sarah Nashka It's Irish for free
Is it?
I told you I've been
learning Irish
You know Rupert Murdoch's
back on the scene
just FYI
Is he?
Or did he get engaged again
he's done something
He couldn't be engaged again
He's after doing something
Oh yeah he's engaged again
He's engaged again
What? Yeah Still hope for me yet Yeah But Spenny said he'd go out with a lawyer couldn't be engaged again he's after doing something oh yeah he's engaged again what
yeah
still hope for me yet
yeah
but Spenny said he'd go out
with a lawyer
or somebody not in the public eye
but I think
I might go out with
like a rapper or something
they all say that
they all say that
I think it's some
low level gaslighting
I'd prefer to go out
with somebody
with a more like
permanent job
we can't both have
unpermanent jobs
if you know what I mean
if and when I bump into exes
there's no point in being nasty
you don't have to be nasty
oh well no
I wouldn't be nasty
but I mean
just give them like
his head but just a little bit
but
because
we've made such
like
there's no
I've no dignity left
via
like the podcast
and bad videos of me
it's like
there's no
it doesn't matter
like there's
I've no higher ground anymore
I know but I do get that kind of like I would rather not bump. Like, I've no higher ground anymore.
I know, but I do get that kind of,
like, I would rather not bump into them.
Like, I'm friendly with most of them,
but I'd rather, like,
and it's funny because I was just,
because I'm reading Elizabeth Day's book for my book club thing that I'm doing,
and she was talking about bumping into exes
and how that, like, she's not friends
with, like, some of her longer-term exes.
And I actually do think it's quite hard
if you've been with somebody for that long and in that capacity, it's kind of hard to try and be, I tried to do it with one of my exes and I actually do think it's quite hard if you've been with somebody for that long
and in that capacity
it's kind of hard
to try and be
I tried to do it
with one of my exes
and it just didn't
really work
we're not friends
we're not friends
and that wouldn't be fair
on their current partner
that's it
like the dynamic is such
that you're
it's very hard to
like there's such a
familiarity there
that if you've got
a new partner
it is a bit
fucking awkward
yeah
they don't want to be
hanging out with you
or neither
no
particularly when
you're as sound as us
not right
it always is a bit
like you look at them
and you're like
hey how's it going
you're like
he was in me
I can't
I always think about that
he was inside me
I always think about that
how's your mum
he was inside me
yeah
god
god
we did that and that.
And then sometimes
when you're with somebody
like Spencer,
it's like,
oh God,
he's had sex with both of us.
Because I hung out
with a couple of Spencer's exes.
It is weird,
isn't it?
It's weird.
And like,
your mind shouldn't go there,
but it's straight where mine goes.
Of course.
Yeah.
God.
But I can't remember.
Remember we spoke about dick amnesia. But I can't remember. Remember we spoke about
dick amnesia.
I honestly can't remember.
I can remember,
like,
I can't remember the dick.
No, but that's because
they're not,
I don't,
I know it's not dick amnesia.
I think it's because
they're not that,
sorry Jo,
you're kind of getting tense there,
but I think they all kind of,
like,
they're not that spectacular.
It's not like looking at a Picasso
that you're like,
oh, I must remember this
vision of beauty for the rest of my life. No. It's just like a at a Picasso that you're like oh I must remember this vision of beauty
for the rest of my life
it's just like
a bit of
extra something
it's just like a tail
on the front
do you know what I mean
I'd recognise that
in Maine anywhere
you wouldn't
but I'd struggle
to even remember
the sex
probably because
I don't want to
like I could say
that I never had sex
with any of my exes
it's so like not in my mind I don't want to like I could say that I never had sex with any of my exes it's so
like not in my mind
I wouldn't
but like saying that
like Svenny and I
had sex on Friday night
and he was like
that was brilliant
and I'd had five drinks
so I was like was it?
I honestly couldn't remember
I could have woken up
the next day
if I had trousers on
I would have said
we didn't have sex
but I didn't have trousers on
so I was like oh
yeah I've had some of them
I was like did we?
and he's like well yeah
but you were looking at yourself
in the mirror
you didn't even
you were so focused
when you caught a reflection
of yourself in the mirror
I might
I was like I wasn't here anyway
he's like look at her
she's gorgeous
look how well she's doing
look at that
she's like a porn star
look at that
look at me arched there
oh my god
amazing arched there my god amazing at uni
physically bumped
into him
at the shop
while I was
holding nothing
but a chorizo
chorizo
whatever
chorizo
oh that's good
chorizo
and you all
you talk about
is sausage
it's like your thing
I'm a bit out of the loop at the moment
yeah
I have a lot on my mind
what do you want me to fill you in on
tell me about Hayley Bieber's sister
throwing a tampon at someone
oh god I know
ok right
well there's not much beyond that
so I just thought,
like, it just,
I want to say about two things
because I saw something else
that I was like,
it's insane.
So where is it?
Okay, so Hayley Bieber's sister
was arrested
because she's been arrested
for assault and battery
because she was in a club in Georgia
and she threw a used tampon
at a bartender. I mean, how do you get to the point where and she threw a used tampon at a bartender.
I mean, how do you get to the point where you're ripping out a tampon and throwing it at somebody?
That's what I wanted to know.
Like what happened in the lead up to that?
I don't know.
So maybe she wasn't served at the bar, but in America.
Surely there has to be something more to it.
In America, as you know yourself, if you don't tip, they don't come back.
They do not come back.
You have to leave like $3 for every single drink.
So you have to add that onto your drinks order.
And I think what must have happened is she wasn't being served.
I don't know.
But then the dad, what's his name?
Stephen?
Alec.
Stephen Baldwin?
One of them.
Not Alec.
Stephen posted this thing like pray for Hayley and Justin as well.
So there's a few bits and bobs going on in that family.
But Scarlett I imagine
I imagine everyone knows you
through a used tampon
she must have been on something
yeah her period
the blob
as they used to call it
back in the day
the blob
I just can't imagine
that you'd be
it would be the last thing
I think you'd do on somebody
I would never think of
using a used tampon
as a weapon
but more fool us
I know
because actually
if it can actually earn you
an arrest for assault
and battery
it's clearly a pretty good weapon
it's a pretty disgusting weapon
and here we are
walking them through the airports
day in day out
no one's taking it off us
no
disgusting little weapon
hanging around
imagine going through
the x-ray machine
to like pull that weapon out of you
you're like Jesus
get it out
Jesus guys.
Imagine trying to hold up
a plane with a used tampon.
The stuff you can get through
and the stuff you can't get through.
Imagine someone
with a used tampon
at the pilot's door.
Get out.
It's more where that came from.
Of course.
She's serious.
She's serious.
There's a crew of us here.
There's a hen party here.
We're full of them.
So fucking disgusting
So
Just hear the
Splash as it hits the wall
Of the cockpit
The next time I have a fight
With Spenny
I'm actually going to do that
Just do it
And just see what happens
I'll actually
I'll do it for the pod
And I'll tell you exactly
What happens
Like what his reaction is
Just turn around
Okay wait a second
turn around
dig it out
what did you fucking say
oh my god
I'm gonna do it for research
and if he
if he gets really busy about it
I'll be like
so many of it was research
research for the pod
what you need to do
is start storing them up
so instead of disposing of them
put them in a sandwich bag
I'm actually not on my period now
so if you had one you could loan me lock them in a put them in a sandwich bag I'm actually not on my period now so if you had one
you could loan me
lock them in a
lock them in a cabinet
like they do with the guns
oh my god
and with any joy
it would smell
just like the tampon bins
in the toilets
disgusting
disgusting
do you remember
though when 50 Cent
got arrested
feels like misogyny
that's all I'm going to say
it feels like
was it
I just want to ask
was it a male bartender?
I think it was.
Yeah, you see?
Like, get over yourself.
Sorry, Nejo.
I would like to think
that if I threw a used tampon
in your face,
you'd just shake it off.
She was trying to be a feminist.
You know what I mean?
They're just horrified
by women's bodily functions.
This feels misogynistic to me.
I mean, I really wouldn't want
a tampon thrown at me.
It's so bad.
It doesn't matter
what you want, though.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you want, you'll get what you need. I would appreciate in our next argument if you did not want a tampon thrown at me. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you want, though. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you want.
You'll get what you need.
I would appreciate our next argument if you did not throw a tampon at me.
But I think it would be the best way to resolve the argument.
Imagine I just got a tampon in the eye of an egg.
It's an icebreaker for sure.
Did you just throw it?
I did, yeah.
No, you fucking didn't.
You're there with your pathetic thong sanitary pads
the size of a tic tac
and I've got a loaded weapon
have you ever seen
how much a nappy holds
have you ever put a nappy
in a
like a kid in a nappy
a proper nappy
in a pool
not a swim nappy
yeah
it holds a lot
sorry
I absolutely haven't
you should know about a nappy
you've used them before
when you've run out
yeah so when I go to the sauna in my nappy. You've used them before when you've run out.
Yes, when I go to the sauna in my nappy,
it gets quite full.
We tried to get your man in the ice bath yesterday.
She was having absolutely none of it.
I don't want to be uncomfortable on a Sunday.
I don't like it either.
It's what the people want to see though.
I don't care.
I think we do want, we want to see it.
We want to see you throw a time bomb at someone and we want you
in the ice bath
I'm not doing it
yeah but it's good content
so she got arrested
with that
50 Cent got arrested
for saying motherfucker
in St Kitts
because you're not allowed
to do it there
in the Caribbean
oh really
yeah you're not allowed
he got arrested
Matthew McConaughey
you'll like this
because I enjoyed this
and it makes me like him
even more
he was arrested
in 1999
when the police
responded to a noise
complaint at his house in Texas and found him playing the b He was arrested in 1999 when the police responded to a noise complaint
at his house in Texas
and found him playing
the bongo drums
at 3am
in the nude
while another man
also naked
dancing clapped along.
I love that he's legitimately mad.
He is like
but I'd love to hang out
He's so woo woo.
Can you imagine him just like
Yeah.
He's so woo woo isn't he?
Just bouncing around
balls going everywhere
thrilled with themselves.
I'd say there's a lot of like
sound bowls and,
you know,
saging and chanting
and that kind of thing.
Now this is somewhere
I feel like both of us
could find ourselves.
Robert Downey Jr.
in 1996
was charged with trespassing
because he was found asleep
in his neighbour's home.
In the actual home?
Yeah, in their home.
He got in
and they went in
in Malibu as well.
That's scabby
on the neighbour's part now. He was obviously off his tits. Yeah, and they shouldn't. Like, and they went in in Malibu as well. That's scabby on the neighbour's part now.
He was obviously off his tits. Yeah, and they shouldn't.
Like, that's not fair. It's Robert Downey Jr. People pay
good money. He can sleep wherever the hell he wants.
Wherever he wants. Yeah.
Have you ever been arrested?
No, I was thinking about that. I haven't
actually been arrested. I haven't even been closed
because remember I told you I used to pay my friends to steal
from me? Yes.
Of course, you were running the business
yeah
obviously
Rizal's over there
you see that
Miss Selfridge
eye stack
get me six of them
and I'll give you three quid
I couldn't be caught
this seems like great
this seems like great
but I know
and you got caught
stealing fucking
food yeah
jam bonds
jam bonds
baguettes and
yeah ice creams and all, yeah, I know.
I also think that was mean.
To arrest you for that.
A demi-baguette.
Come on.
Well, there was more to it than that now.
Why?
Crime is a crime.
It wasn't like I just walked out with a demi-baguette.
I got a shopping bag and I was just putting stuff in.
I didn't.
I was completely out of my mind.
I was also coming up on these, like, tablets.
So I was very whacked out of it.
Did you have to go to the police station, though?
Yeah.
And what did they say?
They took me off in a police car.
I was in the back.
Yeah, Pat following in the forward behind.
Yeah.
Pat came in,
because the second she saw the police car pull up,
she was like, it's Joanne,
because I'd only just come out.
Where was I?
I was in treatment, but I was in as a day patient. But I was completely, it's Joanne. Because I was just, I'd only just come out. Where was I? I was getting, I was in treatment,
but I was in as a day patient.
And then when I,
but I was completely,
it was just like peak mad.
Like absolutely mad.
But I hadn't been able to
be bulimic
because I was being watched
like a hawk.
So this was the first time
I was left alone
because she asked me to go in
and get a bottle of
slimline tonic.
So the second I hit the shops,
I started stealing food.
Oh, stop. Yeah. And then the police car kept, mum was like, where is she? And the police car pulled up slimline tonic so the second I hit the shops I started stealing food oh stop
yeah
and then the police car
get mum
was like where is she
and the police car pulled up
and she was like
fuck sake
no
she knew straight away
she's like that'll be Joanne now
oh my
yeah
and then she went in
and I was putting a score today
they just
they didn't
in fairness
they didn't
it's actually so sad
I know
it is kind of sad
but it's also
it's also hilarious
it's actually so sad I know it is kind of sad but it's also it's also hilarious it's hilariously sad
a really evil criminal
going out with a load of
telly baguettes
yeah
because I remember
they were like
where are the electronics
because they just
couldn't get out
it didn't make any sense
but like loads of people
steal food
but you know
anyway
they said
they were there
like look
we're not going to
handcuff you
because your mum's outside
and she's very upset
oh stop so she'd already spoken to them yeah she was in screaming your mum's outside and she's very upset. Oh, stop.
So she'd already spoken to them?
Yeah, she was in screaming.
She's bulimic.
She's bulimic in the middle of Tesco and Delirium.
Oh, fuck me.
I know.
Pat made it a bit worse for you there now.
Well, it didn't.
It didn't help because I was like, listen, don't tell.
Listen, we'll keep this between ourselves.
Because I was trying to text her to say I was going to be late.
And they're like, what are you doing?
You can't use your phone like you're under arrest.
Oh, God.
I was like, shut up. I'm like, properly arrested doing you can't use your phone like you're under arrest oh god and I was like
shut up
I'm like
properly arrested
like
and so then
then they took you in
and what happened
so then
there was a
a male guard
and a band guard
and the
he was actually
really lovely
and when mum was saying
like oh she's bleeding
he was like
oh I've seen this before
I understand
I think he must have
had someone in the family
or something
and he was really nice
he gave me a little letter
at the end and all
saying like
good luck in your
recovery and everything
yeah
if he could see you now
what was the band guard like?
she in fairness to her
was more just like
you've committed a crime
he was very kind
I just
I feel like there's
levels of crimes
I was actually looking into it
you did right
I'm from the south side of Dublin
like sorry but like
you can't be putting people in prison for fucking I can't be treated the You did right. I'm from the south side of Dublin. Like, sorry, but like you can't be
putting people in prison
for fucking...
I can't be treated the same
as everyone else.
I'm sorry.
No, but anyone should not
be put in prison
for stealing bread.
Well, no,
they didn't put me in prison.
They walked me around the cells
and they said,
look, if you do it again,
they're like...
And then I got a sergeant's warning
where you go down
and you get brought in.
They're like,
look, we'll let you out this time.
But he said,
look, if it happens again,
it's not going to matter
why you're shoplifting
it's just going to be
you're shoplifting
well if you're in America
you'd probably go to prison
for 20 years
so you should be thankful
I know yeah
be on death row
if you steal a car
like twice
you're in prison for 25 years
be on death row
for a pecan pie
I wonder what
Hayley Bieber's sister
will get then
if you go to prison
for stealing a car
if you're throwing a tampon
on someone in Atlanta
Georgia you're fucked you're not a tampon on someone in Atlanta Georgia
you're fucked
you're not come on
firstly she is a
child of immense
privilege
they're one of the
biggest families
in America
God imagine she gets
to wear all her
sister's clothes
okay the last topic
I want to talk to you about
was the K-pop fans
oh yeah
I don't know this story
but I know K-pop
I know the whole K-pop scene
is wild
but it's
the wildest thing
so
okay
there's a K-pop singer
and her fans have gone
absolutely crazy
because they found out
she has a boyfriend
they've gone completely wild
they were trying to get her
cancelled and they're like basically like she'll be off the charts she won't have another absolutely crazy because they found out she has a boyfriend they've gone completely wild they were trying to get her cancelled
and they're like
basically like
she'll be off the charts
she won't have another
song out in the charts
ever again
if she doesn't come
and apologise to us
and she actually
pandered to it
so like
she's part of a group
called
AESPA
AESPA
AESPA
yeah
and she issued
a heartfelt apology
to fans, right?
And her scandalous revelation was that she's in a relationship.
She basically, she apologised to 12.7 million Instagram followers.
But like, I'm just like, why would you apologise for having a boyfriend?
Because K-pop, it's such a weird industry.
They're put into school.
They're put into like a K-pop college when they're kids.
And they're, remember when we were younger and there'd be a K-pop college when they're kids and they're,
remember when we were younger and there'd be gay male pop stars
but they would deny
that they were gay
so that women could buy
into this fantasy
that they could be
their boyfriends.
I think it's similar with them.
You basically own your,
that's why they have
really high suicide rates
in these K-pop bands
because they're held
to these weird
standards.
They're like priests.
They're like this kind of asexual standard where they can't have a life outside of what they're like priests they're like this kind of
asexual standard
where they can't have a life
outside of what they're doing
it's so bizarre
but there was
there was others
because I looked into it then
and I started going down a hole
and there's
one of them
right
he
his drink was
spiked with
his orange juice
he took orange juice
off somebody
that he thought was a member of staff
it wasn't
it was a fan who didn't like him
who liked an opposing band.
And he basically had filled it with crazy glue.
What?
Yeah, he was trying to kill the singer because he was from a rival band that he didn't like.
There was another one who wrote a band, a K-pop band, a letter in menstrual blood, which I mean...
Well, now after today's discussion.
It is a theme today.
Yeah.
At least you could just take the tampon out and it'd be like a pen. It's a loaded weapon. straw blood which I mean well now after today's discussion it is a theme today and at least
you could just take the tampon out
and it'd be like a pen
it's a loaded weapon
someone else took a picture
of one of them sleeping
I mean
remember that girl
I mean this is not
on a like level at all
I know exactly
what you're going to say
in the tube
yeah
I got the tube
I love the tube
yeah on her scooter scoot
on my scooty
I took it
and Joanne sent me
all these pictures
of me on the tube and on my scooter and Joanne sent me all these pictures of me on the tube
and on my scooter.
Someone had sent Joanne
all these pictures of me
going up the escalator.
That person must have been behind me
for quite some time.
She was like,
Joanne, I saw Vogue in the tube today
and my boyfriend doesn't care
so I'm sending them to you.
And I was like,
thank you so much
for keeping tabs on her for me.
And it was photos of Vogue
just like right from the back,
like on your jacket
going up the escalator.
I know.
It was ones you saw when they were getting on the tube.
That's so funny.
Yeah.
People always, I can't take the slagging about the scooter anymore.
Honestly, I can't take it.
I think it suits you.
People slag me all the time.
Like, I went out for dinner last week and they're all like, go on, go on the scooter.
Let us get a picture of you on the scooter.
And I'm like, no!
They're very popular.
But let's go back to the K-pop thing.
Because they've so many, imagine having 12.7 million
I know
but that's not
look at Cristiano Ronaldo
he's got like 100
I don't know
how many does he have
I think with the K-pop world
they're just
you're right
they're just
it's possessive
yeah
they're like
we own you
you're ours
it's like X Factor
back in the day
but it never ends
it's just
and then there's
there was loads
of the weird scandals
with guys in K-pop bands
who were being accused
of kind of spiking girls
and it's all very sinister.
It's kind of like,
because there's some here now
that are like,
oh, they were chased around Sweden.
But like, isn't that interesting
that they would have
such a huge fan base
also in Sweden?
It sounds like they're fanatical.
Yeah, but like,
I guess it's kind of like
similar to what like,
what are they called?
One Direction would have had.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But I think on an even bigger scale.
Sorry, Spencer tried to say
he was cooler than Harry Styles earlier.
Yeah.
Come on, seriously.
I told him to Google Harry Styles
at Hampstead East.
Is he back on the drugs?
I think he was.
He's obviously back in the booze
or something.
Just not right.
Someone tried to,
someone tried to kidnap the girls
so there was a girl
actually on stage
and a kidnapper
tried to steal her
from the stage
that's so intense
I think that would be
so frightening
and they get a lot of
things said
because I don't know
why fans have their
addresses for some reason
so they say they get
sent a lot of food
deliveries
and they've had to
some of the band members
from some of the bands
have had to say
please stop sending food
I'm not going to eat food
from people that I don't know
where it's come from
you would
ah yeah
I would yeah
I'm sure
in a bag of edibles
someone stuffed in a
pair of boxer shorts
with my name on the back
but the bag of edibles
was sealed
someone was like
I can't believe you ate them
I was like
I'm not puting

do you know what I mean
I don't know and it was in some small town in Canada I was like this can't believe you ate them I was like I'm not puting like no one's trying to take me down do you know what I mean I don't know

small town in Canada
I was like
this woman seems pretty normal
like
and the bag got sealed
she's big sound
yeah
I like to
I like to trust
to trust with the bag
I come from a place of trust
I actually saw
I watched a really funny film
the other night
I love Melissa McCarthy
I'd watch anything
but Melissa McCarthy
I love her.
I do love her.
And it's a film, God's favourite idiot.
She's not the most amazing movies, if we're really honest.
I would watch anything with her in it, though.
I just think she's just so, she just makes me laugh so much.
She's easy to watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And in the opening scene, she roofies herself.
Sure, she's telling someone, she's like, I roofied myself.
They're like, how did you do that?
And she's like, it's really easy, actually.
There was, what did she say she did
there was a guy she saw at the bar
oh yeah she thought she was taking a breath mint
there was a guy she saw at the bar
and he was kind of giving her the eye
and she was like oh he likes what he sees
when we were living in Scotland
in Aberdeen
they used to do this thing
because you'd be absolutely deranged
it was a pound of vodka mix
we were all hammered
that's legal em
and they'd go around
I think that is
but they'd go around
and like people from the unis
were putting ducks
in people's drinks
and Amber once came home
with something like 30 ducks.
And she was absolutely thrilled
and I was like,
that was actually part of an experiment.
To see how much you drink.
To see how much people
could just put something
in your drink
when you're not watching.
She'd like 30 of the little ducks.
That's so funny.
I know.
She's like, oh my God,
I collected them all. I know. She's like, oh my God, I collected them all.
I won.
