Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally.
It's the podcast that works on the basis of exposing things about your friend that they
wouldn't want their mother to hear.
That's true. I don't want my mom to hear some of the stuff you say.
I know, that's why we don't use that. We don't use that shit for the Insta stories.
My mom, we actually have specific parts we won't use for Insta stories.
But my mom goes on a walk and I nearly came out of my mouth
to tell her to subscribe to a podcast
because she wouldn't know how to do it on her own.
I was like, what am I thinking?
I don't want her seeing anything we get up to.
I can't believe your mom doesn't even follow me.
I was going to wish her a happy birthday.
And I was like screw you Sandra
screw Sandra
and then I unfollowed her and blocked her
on this week's episode
we have cancel culture
our spoofer of the week
and what not to buy your rich mates
oh I've written things down about my week
first thing flowers
remember I said in the pod weeks
ago don't send me flowers I hate flowers I'm deeply regretting it go on why no one's sending
me flowers and someone sent me one and I was like oh that's brash to send me flowers what did you
what did you think was gonna happen I've changed my mind flower companies out there right if you
want to lash a few tulips my way I'm ready ready. Yellow being my colour of choice.
I'm just not going to be one of those people
who makes bouquets
and stuff like that.
I'm not into flowers.
Like, I like flowers,
but I've never once
bought myself
a bunch of flowers.
My housemate Sophie,
we call her the truffle pig
because she does nothing
but spoil herself.
She is so...
I've never seen anyone...
It's like, treat yourself.
It's like she...
It's 24...
That's her life.
Joanne, you spoil yourself with certain things. Sophie she it's 24 that's her life Joanne you spoil
yourself with certain
things
Sophie has a
shower gel
that's so expensive
she has to pay
for it in
installments
on Klarna
it was like
60 quid
on ASAP
or something
I don't know
what it is
it's like a
fucking mortgage
and she's
lathering away
up there
it's like 20
quid a pop
that every time
she showers
it's like 20
pounds
but
oh she
so she
obviously used to send flowers
to herself every Friday
of course
but there's
she was the one
who introduced me
to these candles
that although
someone did message me
here she is
talking about candles again
Ronnie Colby
so I don't
really
I don't really accept
like
do you know when someone's like
oh can we send you something yeah I don't take it because do you know when someone's like oh can we send you
something yeah I don't take it because I know then they want me to post about it and I don't
want to post about it so I just don't take anything what if it's something really nice
like my tracksuit you accepted that that's different because it's something you want
yeah because you know I'll sell you millions and millions of tracks oh I'd say you did contribute
to a good few sales definitely I should have got a swipe up coat.
Oh my God,
I've been going around in this coat
that's got the fucking tag on it.
I just got papped.
It's so terrible.
Well, I actually filled in
something yesterday
and they were like,
the tag's on your shirt.
And I was like,
I should probably take it off
because I've worn this shirt
four times in Thailand.
It's probably a bit past the point
of taking it back.
I would have though.
I actually,
I've never taken anything back
in my life.
I'm physically incapable. I now have to try and get a size extra large man's Fred Perry shirt. I would have though. I actually, I've never taken anything back in my life. I'm physically incapable.
I now have to try and get
a size extra large
man's Fred Perry shirt.
I have to get something
out of it because
I just can't return it.
Anyway, we're getting
completely derailed.
Just like that.
Are we going to tell people
what happened on Monday?
Jo lost her pod
but I realised something
about my pal Joanne
that I'd never realised before.
She doesn't function
before nine o'clock
in the morning.
She came over,
you were pretty sweaty. you'd run maybe you can learn how to operate the heat in your house i wouldn't look like i was going through the menopause every time i come into it
and you were so all over the face i've never seen anything like it that's like me
at about 10 past 10 at night yeah it's you's you in the morning. It's me at night. I hated it. You'd done three
workouts and brought out like a clothing line and I'd done nothing. And I think I was hung
over. Joe was remote and I couldn't hear him. And I find Joe quite soothing. Joe, you're
like a therapy dog. A therapy dog. And the podcast was all over the place. It was an
absolute car crash. And then Joe got on his high horse at the end,
his big high saddle and was like,
that was a fucking car crash,
but I'll fix it.
And then he goes,
oh shit,
where is it?
Joe lost it.
I think Joe lost it on purpose.
Which I think was a sign from the gods
because it was so bad.
It wasn't bad.
It was really bad.
If there was ever anything to lose,
it was that.
My mind just kept glitching
and I was getting irrationally,
I was getting really irritated.
You were broken.
I felt like I was going to hit a child.
Like I was just really irritated.
Yeah.
She did push Theodore.
I did push him, yeah.
And then I waxed Gigi's lip.
Hey, Gigi.
Do you know that back in Egyptian times
That's how I start all my lines to Vogue
Because I know she won't know
It makes me feel superior
Excuse me
I know everything about Egypt
Toot and Camoon
Get lost
You only know about him
Because of me
Because I'm obsessed with him
I know about
Did you go to his little festival
He had here recently
His festival
You didn't
Because you don't like him that much
That's so vogue
turns up in her
chenellingtons
and her cut off denim shorts
toots
what stage is toots
playing on
I'm here to see toots
yeah
go on tell us about Egypt
they used to
ancient Egypt women
used to make paste
out of arsenic
for hair removal
people go on about
what a tough life it is
and how tough it is
to be alive
and all the shit
can you imagine being
an ancient Egyptian woman?
No.
Do you know what I always think of?
Not even that far back.
Imagine having to wash your clothes
on that weird board thing
that they used to have.
Or like dying of the plague.
I mean, there are definitely
worse things than having
to wash your clothes on a board.
Well, there's worse things
than having to like
get rid of your hair with arsenic.
I don't know if there is.
Like, I mean...
The board washing.
Imagine!
Laser is painful enough. Arsenic! Laser doesn't know if there is. I mean, the board washing. Imagine, laser is painful enough.
Arsenic.
Laser doesn't hurt even one tiny bit.
It's because you're the face of therapy clinic.
You have to say that.
No, Joanne, did you get your laser done there and did it hurt?
It's because of the blowing air.
There's blowing air on it so you don't actually feel it. It tricks your mind.
Yeah, no, that is fair.
Okay, tell me the week that was.
Tell me about your week.
So I have a couple of things to say.
One, I did,
I was an understudy
on 8 out of 10
cats does countdown.
Yeah, that's quite cool.
So that's why I was off
to Manchester
at my tiny ceramic baby head.
What was the crack with that?
So you have to bring a mascot.
Oh, that was so weird.
Yeah, and I was praying
no one got sick
because I just wasn't
in the headspace to do it.
Where did you get that?
My baby head. The mug, was it a mug? No, I keep cigarettes't in the headspace to do it. Where did you get that? My baby head.
The mug?
Was it a mug?
No, I keep cigarettes
and pens in it.
Oh, gross.
So anyway,
then people started
sending me all these
photos of their own,
I don't know,
baby head,
pot plants and all this stuff.
But then this woman
contacted me,
it was one of the,
I don't actually feel
like how funny it was.
And she was like,
oh, where'd you get that?
My husband used to
carry a doll's head around with him when he was a child. Just the head on its own. And she was like, oh, where'd you get that? My husband used to carry a doll's head around
when he was a child.
Just the head on its own.
And she said,
he used to cry
if anyone took it away from him.
And his mother actually
gave it to me
when we got married.
And it's in his wardrobe
wrapped in cling film.
And I was laughing.
Because I love the fact
that the mother gave it to her
on their wedding day.
And I also love the fact
that he has his own wardrobe
and that it's still in it.
But then she sent me a photo
of the doll. Did you see the doll? I saw the picture.
I found that really scary. I know. I mean,
it's just a singular doll's head, quite
a large one, in cling film.
It's like what I imagine when you went to
accidentally vacuum pack Theodore. But that's
what it's going to look like. Just this doll's
head with the eyes wide open.
It looks like it's been... Like, don't put
a baby's head in a bag. I just don't want... It looks like it's been, like don't put a baby's head in a bag.
I just don't want, no.
It looks like it's been stored in a sandwich bag.
Anyway.
Imagine someone's mom gave you that.
You'd be like, I'm all in for this.
This is not what I signed up for.
On your wedding day, like something else,
something blue, something borrowed,
and a baby's head in a bag.
No thanks.
So that's what you brought up.
So anyway, that's what I brought up.
But I eventually want,
so I'm doing a couple of understudies
because of corona, I was about to say couple of understudies because of Corona,
I was about to say because of cholera,
because of Corona,
if anyone drops dead,
they wheel me out,
which I'm hoping includes Jimmy
because imagine I got to host it.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
I think that you should start
your own comedy show.
Like, who the fuck is that?
But I was thinking for my real mascot
when I really get on,
I want like a tramp stamp
of Jimmy Carr's face
as a cat
with like whiskers and stuff
and then also like a chest piece
because I'd love to get a tattoo, but I don't care about anything at all. Do you have any tattoos? No, because I don't care about anything at all. of Jimmy Carr's face as a cat with like whiskers and stuff and then also like a chest piece.
Because I'd love to get a tattoo but I don't care about anything at all.
Do you have any tattoos?
No, because I don't care
about anything at all.
No, I don't think you should get a tattoo.
I'm not getting a real tramp stamp
of Jimmy Carr's face.
It'd be a transfer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wouldn't be too sure
about you actually, Joanne.
Your week is already
more interesting than mine.
Anything for content.
Oh, and then
I wanted to talk about
my ass is on the rise.
So I'm getting a
I believe they call it
in the business
a non-invasive
Brazilian butt lift
with Susan Vaughan
in Mayfair
he's a lovely Irish woman
and she was like
here do you want to
are we just going to
bypass the fact that
we had an ass plan together
we had this whole
grand plan
Joanne and I
were going to get bums
for the summer
delicious bums
and we did one workout together
and then she fucks off
and goes and gets a bum lift on her own.
Well, I don't think anyone would dispute this,
but you're a couple of weeks ahead of me
on the old bum exercise.
I am.
Have you seen my ass?
I've been lying down for nine months.
Nah, Joanne.
Joanne, I see you on the belly.
You're quite good on the belly.
I've been lying down for nine months.
I'm only back getting into it.
Up to this point,
the only thing I exercised was caution.
I was very clear about that.
I did absolutely nothing.
I sat in my house
and dipped crisps
into red wine
and cried about my career.
Did you always have
leg weights on?
You did every day of lockdown.
I did.
You wore leg weights.
And I only got larger
and larger and larger
because I would just
wear the leg weights.
The problem with me is
I talk about it all the time.
I'm pretty sure
I would look like an Olympian
if I didn't drink red wine
I am absolutely
addicted to the shit
I adore it
I would drink it
just red wine
like what red wine
I don't care
this is the thing
isn't it a great time
to be alive
okay I nearly gave myself
gout from red wine
gout
gout used to be something
that the kings got
and like from
the king Henry
Henry the 8th
Henry the 8th
he had it
they all had it
but it was from
being rich and eating
fine cheeses
and red wines
and it was something
the rich got
and now me
a peasant
can get gout
for a tenner a day
out of a petrol station
I really am
just gonna like
work out and chill
how long do we give it Jo?
I was gonna tell you
that I cheated on you
yeah
and I did the Alan Carr podcast
oh yeah you cheated on me
with Alan Carr
as well as Dan the Ass Man
Dan the Ass Man
I haven't had Dan
when you're not there
I did not cheat on you
with Dan yet
but I will because I know you're going for I did not cheat on you with Dan yet but I will
because I know you're
going for another
bum lift today
so I need to catch up
Alan Carr did his
podcast with Sven
and he's actually
very nice and very
funny and has a
lovely house
did you tell him
I love him
no I didn't
we weren't talking
about that
his podcast was
about holidays
you told me you did
I said did you tell him
I love him
and you said yeah I did
oh maybe I did
you're a liar
I don't know if I'm a liar
because I can't remember.
I'm not a good liar.
So I don't know if I'm a liar or not.
I did a bit of,
because we're both obviously
a bit ass mad at the moment.
So I did a bit of reading
into why we suddenly want to wear our asses
up high like a backpack.
And I did a kind of a study
of like the fashion
and the changes of it and stuff. And why asses are now the big obsession. And I read a kind of a study of like the fashion and the changes of it and stuff.
And why asses are now the big obsession.
And I read this thing, it's saying that like
boob jobs are down by 20% and ass work is up by 50%.
What?
Yeah, so like tit jobs are like a thing of the past now, basically.
Do you know how happy that makes me?
Like I have barely a nipple.
I'm going to show you my naked boobs.
You'll die.
You'll die. I've sat to show you my naked boobs. You'll die. You'll die.
I've sat there watching you breastfeed your kids.
That's when I was breastfeeding and they were big.
They're gone.
They're like pecs now.
So if it's just my ass, I'm delighted.
Go on, tell me more.
I love this.
I'm a 34B, but I call them 34B disappointed because they're shit.
They're shit.
Like, I've said to Vogue a million times
I'd love to get a tit job.
I'd get a tit job
if I didn't have to
go into the knife.
I'll talk to Susan.
She can probably do
a non-invasive tit lift for you.
She just massages them up
or she'll
what she's doing on my ass
is she just electrocutes
each cheek for 20 minutes
and then it jumps up
from the shock.
Oh God.
Because I can't do
the ass exercises.
They're like tuck it in
untuck it in.
I'm like it's not
I don't know how to tuck my ass in.
To what?
It's your tailbone
you've got to tuck under.
Anyway,
I was doing this research
into why we suddenly,
like why this,
is it,
like why,
okay,
you know the way we love
a trend and a fad
and fashion
and we love a bit of beauty
and it's basically like
our five-a-side.
We love a bit of beauty.
We love a bit of beauty.
It's like our five-a-side. It's like our We love a bit of beauty. It's like our five aside. It's like our
sport. Yeah. And the more painful
the better. Exactly. And eventually
I'll be wearing my ass like a helmet
because it'll be so high which will make it exactly
like a sport.
I want to wear
it up like a trilby. I don't know why.
I just like trends.
And if ass is what we're doing then ass
is what I will do.
But, so then I realised,
obviously it's all to do with attracting men,
which seems ridiculous considering I just get my ass lift
and then go home and get into my pyjamas
and go back to bed.
Well, you've done your work.
40 minutes on your ass.
At the moment, it's not really an ass lift.
I don't know what I'm getting.
She just kind of puts a load of heat in it.
I'm probably getting molested
and I don't even know it.
Sorry, Susan.
I'll see you at three.
And I'll see you next week but I want to
we took before
and after photos
and
I was like
do you know when you
measure a kid
and you draw up the wall
like we're literally
doing that with my ass
stop
well yeah
was there a difference
at first treatment
well I've only had one treatment
so the side of a large
apparently
this is from the science.
I say the science, it's like Buzzfeed
or some shit. Apparently, the side of a large woman's
ass, it activates the reward regions
of the male brain that are otherwise activated by
drugs, alcohol and food. So, basically
we're being terrible
feminists by wanting to engorge our arses.
I want it for myself, though.
I want to look in the mirror and be like, oh, my ass looks good
and pert. I actually had a really bad
body day the other day
I was putting on bikinis
and I was like
I can't have my ass
out like this
no amount of fake tan
is going to make that look better
if you were having
a bad body day
like I really think
that means just take me
to the fucking guillotine
everyone does
we need to work on the bum
do you remember
when we were smaller
when we were young
and you wanted a small ass
no I never remember
wanting a small ass I remember I I never remember wanting a small ass.
I remember I was embarrassed
about having an ass.
We used to tie jumpers
and jumpers around our waist
so that no one could see our ass.
Really?
Oh my God,
I wanted to hide my boobs,
my non-boobs.
There's a woman,
Beth from Devon,
described her
in non-invasive bum lift
as her weekly indignity.
I was like,
I can agree with that.
What do you mean indignity?
Well, I met Susan.
She's like,
hello, hello.
How are you?
Brilliant, thanks for coming in. Get up on the table there. And I'm suddenly embolic naked and she's massaging my that. What do you mean indignity? Well, I met Susan. She's like, hello, hello. How are you? Brilliant, thanks for coming in.
Get up on the table there.
And I'm suddenly embolic naked
and she's massaging my ass.
Oh, you have to be naked?
And she's from the south side of Dublin.
Like, we know the same people.
But beauty has always been ridiculous.
So things they used to do,
only back in the 1940s,
women used to sandpaper their hair off.
What?
They used to use sandpaper to get their hair out.
Go on, tell me more.
These are good.
Victorian times,
they would use toxic white lead
to whiten their skin
or they would bleed themselves.
What? Bleed themselves?
Like bloodletting,
you know what it's called?
Like they would kind of cut themselves, basically.
Why?
Because paleness was in.
So your brand would be pale by vogue.
You'd have been huge back in the day.
Pale by vogue?
We would have been broke?
Pale by vogue. You'd have been huge back in the day. Pale by Vogue? We would have been broke? Pale by Vogue.
You'd be selling that white lead body lotion.
Oh God.
Yeah.
That was what was cool.
But isn't it funny?
Because it was like,
it was cool to be like,
like you were seen as really rich
if you were heavier.
You wanted to be whiter.
I just want to be brown all the time.
But it's the same in Asia.
They sell like skin whitening creams
and stuff
because tanning looks like
you're out working
in the fields
and they don't want to be seen
as out working
and then there was another thing
the tapeworm diet
which is
very self explanatory
when was that?
the 20th century it said
that's disgusting
and then there was another
radioactive
so this radium
where they would put
radioactive stuff
on their face to give them a glow.
How glowy are we talking though?
I know.
Chernobyl glowy.
Like proper glowy.
I told you.
When did I say we should go on a trip to Chernobyl?
So as I go,
so now I don't feel ridiculous lying on Susan Vaughan's bed
having my ass massaged.
Okay, because we love treatments
and we're going to go in
and get those other treatments
but there's this thing
that was on TikTok, right?
The five most dangerous
skincare trends
doing the rounds on TikTok.
One, homemade face treatments.
Did you ever do any of them?
No.
You never did one?
I don't think so.
Not like egg on your face and stuff?
I used to clean,
when I was younger
I used to clean my face
with nail polish remover.
What?
Yeah.
Because your skin at that age
is just so oily.
Your head is basically
a deep fat fryer.
Yeah, but people are,
right, this is one of the things
they're doing.
They're using coffee
to exfoliate their face
which is meant to be
really bad to do.
And I thought that might
sound quite nice.
Other things they do,
they're putting Vaseline
all over their face
when they go to bed
so their skin wakes up
silky smooth
but supposedly
it can like really
block up your pores.
Dermaplaning, which is that thing,
you know, the shaver thing.
It's not a, it's like this thing, right?
And it gets rid of the peach fuzz,
but also the top layer of your skin.
I sliced and diced myself when I was using that at home.
So I would not suggest that.
Yeah.
And then it got me thinking,
like think of the stuff we used to do when we were younger.
Who used to iron their hair with a towel
and the iron and just go like that?
I'm at that stage now where I look at younger girls and I'm like, you don't know how good you have it.
Yeah.
When our parents used to talk about how good we have it or whatever.
It's like, we used to iron our hair.
There was no such thing as heat protectors.
Like, we'd take a blowtorch to the hair.
Yeah.
And we'd be laid out across an ironing board.
Our mother would be ironing our hair straight.
It was like, get the hotness done
it was a real tory tory take on hotness it was like it doesn't matter what it takes to fucking
get it done and you'd have to give your hair a pep talk before it's like i'm to war you'd like
you're not all gonna survive this okay not everyone's coming back from this experience
and your mother would just be ironing and then half of your hair would fall out didn't matter
get hotness done. Get it done.
If you didn't have straight hair,
you were an absolute loser.
I know.
You had like steam coming off your hair.
But I used to get a towel.
Well, if you got a towel, right,
and did it yourself.
You pussy.
Towel!
My mom wouldn't iron my hair for me.
She's not for weapon.
My mother ironed my hair.
But you notice it now.
Like that's like,
we were very brave.
Like troopers.
Like, you know, men with like cauliflower ears and you know, they're really good at sports. When you see that now like that's like we were very brave like troopers like you know men
with like cauliflower ears
and you know
they're really good at sports
when you see women
with like their ears burnt
from like ironing their hair
in the early noughties
and you're like
you were obviously a big player
in the hair ironing business
in the early noughties
you're very good at beauty stuff
I've mastered
porridge
you ever make yourself
any porridge?
no
I'm so good at making porridge
it literally tastes
like a dessert.
I don't think that's
what porridge is supposed to taste like.
Well whatever you put in it
it tastes like a dessert
so I mastered that.
I went to a play place
with Theodore.
I did a spot of monkey music again.
Yeah.
I did a bit of tennis
with Theodore
and I think I've become
a tiger mom.
What's a tiger mom?
A tiger mom
is when you push your kids into doing stuff,
like all the stuff you want them to be the best at everything.
But it's not even that.
I just want them to be entertained.
But now it's gotten to the point where Theodore wakes up in the morning
and he's like, where am I going today?
Thinking he's off to do something spectacular every second of every day.
And if I say the wrong thing, he's like, no!
You've overstimulated him.
He's done too much.
And Gigi's got her little monkey music.
That's all she gets.
And she loves it
I get so much pleasure
out of blocking people
muting people
is one of my favourite things
I don't know how to unmute
do you not?
I'll show you
no that's probably for the best
I'll show you
because I did it to you earlier
so I'll unmute you later
Chrissy so I'll unmute you later.
Chrissy Teigen.
It feels almost like it's slightly old news
at this stage
because
it's kind of mad though.
It's absolutely mad.
Chrissy Teigen,
she has been pulled up
about past tweets.
I mean tweets from some
eight, nine years ago
but like really
really bad tweets
telling people
to kill themselves
like a few people
telling people to self-harm
and just
just generally like
really
but like to a point
that like
like you can be nasty
and there can be something
that will crop up about you
and you're like
God I can't believe
I ever said that to somebody
that's really mean
but that
I mean
it's gone beyond
the realms of bitchy so she said all these things and then the the person in question has said that to somebody that's really mean but that i mean is it's it's gone beyond the realms
of bitchy so she said all these things and then the the person in question has said that christy
tegan didn't actually try and apologize to her and christy said she did and she's kind of gone
off radar now and i think my one thing about the whole christy tegan thing because i do love her i
think she's absolutely great i've always really liked her but i read them and i was kind of
shocked and as well because she's so like holier
than thou online that like she calls people out for being arseholes and stuff all the time
when she was like such a bully i know it was terrible my take on it is that during the noughties
which is when chrissy was being an absolute wanker and telling courtney stodden to take a dirt nap
which by the way i had no idea what a dirt nap was i i'd Courtney Stodden to take a dirt nap which by the way I had no idea
what a dirt nap was
I'd be like
if someone told me
to take a dirt nap
I'd happily take it
I'd be like
I love napping
I'll happily take a dirt nap
you're so good at napping
as dirty as you want
like
sounds like a really sexy nap
she hasn't come back
and said anything
about it yet
but I just think
as you were saying
it was a different era
but Joanne
was it really that much
of a different era
that like you can go
saying stuff like that to people yeah it genuinely was I think looking back at the culture that it was then different era, but Joanne, was it really that much of a different era that like you can go saying
this stuff like that to people?
Yeah, it genuinely was.
I think looking back
at the culture that it was then,
women were complete,
women hated each other.
Feminism was something disgusting
to be ashamed of being part of.
It was seen,
feminism was like so old school
and it was like
the Heat magazine
or Now magazine
or whatever
had that like circle of shame
so mean
we saw Britney Spears
like literally
strapped into a gurney
getting wheeled away
shocking actually
she should have maybe
done a little bit more
I'm not saying
but like
this is my one thing
there's some girl
I can't remember
what she does
but she's literally
like trying to get
her cancels
and it's like
I hate
the whole thing
of like cancel culture
she said this years ago
she is sorry about it
she's probably maybe
going to go away
and think about it
and then come back
and say something big about it
the problem
my thing is that
and we spoke about this before
if you put yourself
on a moral high ground
or if you position yourself
on a high horse
there's only one way down
from that shit
that's why I've always
been very clear
I've never
I've never spoken about
having a single moral
ever
and that is a safe space
for me to be in
I've nowhere to fall from
you can't
you can't expect
I've never given you anything
so no one can come at me
for anything
because I've nowhere
to fall from
but I do think that
everyone has an online past
and I think that
like she
I mean
the worst tweet
the only thing that ever
came back to bite me in the arse
was that time I tweeted
something about Spencer
and it was literally
it was something like
this guy's an idiot
hashtag shut up
and just before
we were getting married
somebody had dug out
these tweets
and had said a couple of things
about Maiden Chelsea
and I didn't even really watch it
but like what a bitch
I know
like that's even bitchy
to be like hashtag shut up
I know but he was
an easy target
because everyone
knew him at the time
now you're still
telling him to shut up
it's just privately
without the hashtag
I don't think
cultural culture
should be a thing
but like
I feel like some celebs
are just
they get a little
taste of fame
and it can kind of
ruin them
like did you see
that story last week of your one
Lea Michele like loads of stuff
remember when that stuff came out about her the girl from Glee
and she had this like such
nice girl persona and it actually came out
that she was really nasty
and bullied like the cast and crew
I was like did she go into that show being an arsehole
or did the show make her an arsehole
I think when you're a celebrity at that level
people want you to be an arsehole so they kind of look out for things show make her an arsehole? I think when you're a celebrity at that level, people want you to be an arsehole.
So they kind of look out for things that make you an arsehole.
Ah, come on, you can't be fucking a shoe at someone.
I'd say she was a dick.
But we don't know if she threw a shoe, really.
Someone's saying she did, someone's saying she didn't.
I'm not...
She kicked a shoe.
She kicked a shoe.
Kicked a shoe, thank you.
I mean, she could have been trying to get the shoe off her foot.
Yeah.
Remember that girl?
Remember that girl said that I slapped her phone
out of her hand?
Yeah.
Do you remember?
Oh my God, are we going?
And it was literally,
it was on video
that I didn't slap her.
Like, imagine thinking
I would slap someone's phone
out of their hand.
I was thinking of the worst thing
I've done.
The worst thing I've done so far
is this.
I get asked.
So far.
I get asked sometimes
to wish people a happy birthday.
Do you know,
do you get asked to wish people a happy birthday do you know do you get asked
to wish people
a happy birthday
on their messages
and I used to say yes
I don't know how you
get through all the messages
I don't get through them all
I used to say yes
and then
I just hated
doing them so much
I find them so stressful
and I hated doing them
and so
the worst thing I did
was this girl
asked me to do it for a friend
and I said yes
and then I never did it
and she kept
riding underneath my thing
please read my DMs and the more she did it the less I was like oh god I just can't handle stressful pieces I just don't want to do it for a friend and I said yes and then I never did it and she kept riding underneath my thing please read my DMs
and the more she did it
the less I was like
oh god I just can't
handle stress
please I just don't want to do this
so now I just say no
straight out
I just go I don't do it anymore
like I'm not on Cameo
I don't do that kind of thing
but one of the last times
I did do it
this guy messaged me
and he's like
oh my wife's a huge fan
always a flag
why?
it's just it's always
nothing ever good
happens when something
starts with I'm a huge fan because they're not why it's just it's always nothing ever good happens when something starts with I'm
a huge fan because then it's it they're not and it's usually some something but bullshitty that
they want for me to do and they're trying to guilt you into doing it she's like so my wife's a huge
fan and I got her Christmas tickets for Vicar Street for Christmas but your tickets won't be
here on time do you mind making her a video just to say that they'll be here like that they're on
their way so I
was like okay so put the makeup on you know made the video for her for Christmas and then I actually
bumped into them in Kilkenny at the Cat Laughs and he came over to me and he's like hey it's me
whatever his name was Eric I was the guy who made the video for his wife and I was like oh yeah and
he's like she's over there and she was over there with the skull on her face so he brought her over
and I was like,
oh, hi.
And she's like, hi.
And she didn't say anything.
And so I said,
oh, I made that video.
Because I was like,
what am I doing?
She goes, yeah,
I was really hoping
for Michael Bublé tickets,
to be honest.
What?
Yeah.
Actually felt quite sorry for her
because I'd be like,
it'd be like if I asked
for Kanye West tickets
and I got Bewitched tickets.
Or if I asked for a bottle of Gucci
and got a dick straw.
I haven't gotten really
trawled badly.
One person started trawling me.
This woman,
who like,
well, you see,
she's this really like
normal looking.
She's usually a woman,
I hate to say.
She's this really normal
looking woman's face
and she looked,
she was really smiley
and I called her
Kel's Law Jane
because I was like,
she looks like she's just about to,
that she's just ripped on me
and then put her phone down to make ham and Kel's she looks like she's just about to that she's just ripped on me
and then put her phone down
to make ham and Kelislaw sandwiches
for her kids
to take to the GIA.
So that's how I knew
it was a fake account
because then
she changed her name
to Kelislaw Jane
after I'd blocked her.
So I was like
obviously whoever is
actually Kelislaw Jane
is watching my stuff.
Weirdo.
It was just this
it's some incel
from Sligo
like some
25 year old virgin
who's living in
his mother's wardrobe
I have a spoofer
of the week this week
okay
because we're talking
about people
online past
being a troll
all that kind of business
my spoofer of the week
is going to be
Ellen DeGeneres spoofer of the week is going to be Ellen DeGeneres.
2018, the New York Times profiled Ellen
as she had talks over the renewing of her talk show contract.
She was not always nice to her workers.
I read a story that like there was this woman
who worked for her like an assistant
and Ellen, like I called her at like 11 o'clock at night and was like, what have you done with this candle?
She would go around the house like looking for things.
And if the candle had not got a lot of burn time left, she would freak out at the assistant because I hadn't changed the candle.
Also, cleaners came out that used to work for her and said that she would hide things like under like a sofa or under a curtain and then go and get them
and be like, why is that there?
And she would have just planted it.
Dakota Johnson,
did you see that thing with her?
She had an encounter with her
and Ellen said,
why didn't you invite me to your birthday?
And she's like, no, I did.
You just didn't respond.
So she tried to call her out.
A number of ex-employees
have also accused the host of being mean,
said they were told not to look at her in a 2013 being mean. Said they were told not to look at her
in a 2013 interview. Also
they were told not to talk to her
unless they had a chewing gum in their mouth or
a mint. I know.
She's held to a different standard because she's a woman.
Anyway, I'm having Ellen as a spoofer.
Yeah, that's totally fair enough and you're totally right
to have her as a spoofer. Personally, I thought
the most problematic part of Ellen DeGeneres was
the dancing on the show.
Which I thought that was more problematic than not
looking anyone in the eye
or the chewing gum.
I wouldn't in my wildest dreams
dance on a fucking
midday chat show.
I'd be like,
Ellen, you have to give me
six smearing off eyes
and a yolk.
And a yolk.
Remember when we did
Family Fortunes
and we had to dance?
Oh, was it not the worst?
I remember Gina dancing.
Gina's such a good dancer.
It was so embarrassing.
You had to stand there on your own and dance.
And you can't say, no, I'm not dancing.
Because you just look like you're such a stick in the mud.
And it's like, I do not.
That's a real English thing I just said, isn't it?
A stick in the mud.
You can't say no.
Because everyone's dancing.
And the waving and everything.
It's the cheesiest thing.
And I get really weird around cheese. I don't like it. I'm not cheesy. and everything it's the cheesiest thing and i get really weird
around cheese i don't like it i'm not cheesy no it's really embarrassing but you remember that
girl she was like she just kept coming up with the worst answers it was the cousin from the other
side and it was like what do you flip in a pan and she's like sausages it's like no it's not
sausages like a pancake would that not be the first thing
you would think about flipping in a pan?
We kicked their ass, but like,
we were completely cheating.
Excuse me.
They were cheating.
They were cheating.
At one time,
at one stage, the floor manager came out
and was like, stop talking.
There's actual money at stake here.
Excuse me.
Everybody,
everyone talks to themselves in that show.
I know, I know, I know.
So we weren't the only ones cheating.
It was everybody else
in the whole show
and we deserved to win.
And we did.
What's the worst?
Do you think that you,
as a famous,
because you're a property famous.
See, you don't like
if people say anything like that to you
and I don't like if people,
it's so embarrassing.
I know.
I did a podcast with that.
It's like,
so how is fame?
And I'm like,
no, please,
please don't say it like that.
Our lives are completely normal
the only difference is
that sometimes
you annoyingly get papped
which is not always annoying
I'll be honest
if you're ready for it
but like
there was one pap
there a while ago
that jumped out in front of the theatre
and I thought
you know what
that's too much
don't be frightening the kid
but what were you going to say
before you said that awful line
and you fly a helicopter
into Harrods
that's the difference
yeah I just fly a heli into Harrods.
I mean, I live in Battersea.
There's a helipad there.
Bogey, get the heli.
Do you know that Mariah Carey
has it in her contract
that she just will never use stairs?
Don't blame her.
She has really high shoes.
One of the things
that we wanted to talk about
was wrong messages
being sent.
It happened actually
the other day as well.
Do you know when someone
replies to your Insta story
and they don't realise
that it's going
someone will send it to you
someone will send them
your Insta story
and they'll reply
and they don't realise
they're actually replying to me.
Yeah.
Thank God
nothing bad has come back.
Not that I would care,
I'd just be embarrassed for them.
Do you know what I mean?
But,
although if it was saying something bad,
they probably wouldn't care.
Someone did it again the other day
and I was like,
hey, it's Joanne.
And she was like,
ah!
And I was like,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said,
when you reply,
you reply to me.
And it got us thinking about
messages that people have received
or sent
that shouldn't have been received
or sent.
Like I was CC'd on an email
from a production company to a TV channel
over here,
where they said,
Joanna's a lovely working class Irish authenticity.
Which I think is a compliment.
I don't think it's either a compliment
or not a compliment.
It was just the assumption
that I'm working class,
which I thought they were being racist.
I actually thought they were assuming
that I'd kind of fallen out of a hedge school
or something.
Because it was Irish that I was working class. I actually thought they were assuming that I'd kind of fallen out of a hedge school or something. Because it was Irish
that I was working class.
I think everyone thinks
the Irish are working class.
So there's no,
people don't think there's a class.
Well, there's not really
a huge class system in Ireland,
but there kind of is,
but not really.
I said to him,
why do you think I'm working class?
What did they say?
And I was like,
it's because you just assume
in Ireland we're all peasants.
Like fucking driving a wheelbarrow
around grass roads.
He's like, no, it's not because of how you sound, to be
honest. It's because of what you say.
That's fair enough. I got a few
of these back too from your call out, which
are quite funny. Okay. Oh God, going
out with my friends, Laura and Michelle,
not their names, one night. Laura has a
sister tag along who is a right pain in the
hole. Ride person
Michelle sends me a text.
If Laura brings
that pain of a sister
along with her,
I don't think I'll be able
to stick it for long.
She sent it to Laura,
not me.
And I couldn't figure out
why Laura came to the pub late.
Face like thunder
without the sister.
I know,
it's so embarrassing.
So,
like you die of embarrassment.
Another one.
Wasn't me but a friend.
After going for a whack,
she texted her husband saying,
I decided not to do my vagina.
But instead of her husband, she sent it to the neighbor they never spoke of it it's the never speaking of
it that i would hate so much it'd be so embarrassing i know my cousin sent a picture of her sister's
mucus plug oh to her work group chat and instead of hitting delete for all she hit delete for me
and then it was just out there and she could never take it back.
No.
I know.
That's so disgusting.
My bitch of a boss was being mean
about my co-worker receiving roses
from her partner at work.
I sent a direct message to my co-worker
saying there's no need for her
to be shitting all over your nice surprise.
Turns out I accidentally sent it directly to my boss.
I had to take her into a room
and apologize to her.
Her response was, I wasn't shitting all over her surprise.
And if he felt that way, he should have told me.
I responded with, well, I did.
I sent you the message.
That's jealousy.
Oh, yeah.
He said he owns a pizza restaurant in Dublin
and a woman male that he knew saying,
oh, can I book a table for seven?
And then she wrote back saying, oh, sorry, can can I book a tale for seven and then she wrote back
saying oh sorry
can I actually book a tale
for half eight
and he screen grabbed it
and he meant to send it
to a mate of his
but sent it back to her
saying will you make up
your fucking mind
wonder if he got the table
I was messaging a guy
on Tinder
and my friend was
hounding me for a pic of him
so I fell down
into the archives
of his insta
circa 2017
found a pic of him with his mates fell down into the archives of his Insta circa 2017,
found a pic of him with his mates at the races,
zoomed in,
screenshot it
and sent it to him.
No!
Dad.
There's nothing worse
than when you like
someone's picture
from way down
during a deep dive stock
on a filthy hangover day.
There was one girl
who was saying to me
that she went on
her boyfriend's
ex-girlfriend's
Facebook account
and was having a sneaky look through,
like we all do,
and that they were kind of still in contact a bit
and this girl accidentally liked one of her photos
and then the next day the girl messaged,
the ex-girlfriend messaged the boyfriend saying,
can you tell your girlfriend to stay off my fucking Facebook page?
That is so,
it's such a bitchy thing to do.
Like she doesn't stalk everyone.
I know.
We all stalk.
I stalk exes I don't even care about.
I know, we all have a little goo
every now and again.
Ah, you have to.
My sister, we'll call her Jane,
is the absolute worst
for sending messages
to the wrong people.
In fact, she's done it so often
that we would never even refer to it
as doing a Jane.
This is my all-time favourite
faux pas of hers.
She's in her 50s
and got divorced about five years ago.
A couple of years ago, she met someone online and they
began chatting regularly and over time she got
quite courageous and adventurous. So she
decided to step things up a bit and send her new
friend a sexy voice message. The message
went something along these lines. I love chatting with
you. I love what we have. I love what we did that night.
I love the excitement. I can't wait to do it again.
After recording it, she wanted to send it to
herself first to listen to it
after sending it to her man.
She typed in J-A
to search for her own name,
but instead hit our 76-year-old auntie's surname,
James,
and sent the voice record.
Messenger had not introduced the option
to delete a message.
Oh, no.
No.
It's not the last time she has done this.
I know.
There was a lot of, like,
sexy messages to elderly relatives.
I got a lot of them.
I die. I got a lot of them. I die.
I know.
We were talking about
gifts last week
and what you get
someone as a gift
and people are always
really weird about
buying me a gift.
They're like,
oh, I don't know
what you'd want.
Am I a friend or not?
I don't know if I've
probably already mentioned this.
So I sent her
something in the post.
I gave her one of my
track suits.
And she sent me back a Chanel lip balm.
First of all, I opened it and I was like,
oh my God, Chanel started gifting me.
So I was absolutely thrilled.
And I texted my manager and she was like,
no, it's definitely not from them.
They didn't ask for your address.
And I was like, where does this lip balm come from?
Orna had bought me a lip balm.
And I just think it's nice to buy someone a gift.
That's so nice.
We were out for lunch
with my friends
James and Brian
and Joanne
how do you not know
where I'm going with this
Joanne bought them a gift
for going to their wedding
and they were so
unappreciative
of the gift
they gave it to their builders
so no
what happened was
when I came over to London
I stayed with them
for a
I think I stayed in their gaffer
for about two weeks
or something
I can't remember
and then as a parting present
I bought them
a print
of Frida Kahlo
which was so stupid
on my part
I've actually told this story before
they have a full room
of marble
they don't want
a Frida Kahlo
just get them a candle
they wipe their ass with Picasso's like do you know what I mean literally their towels the story before. They have a full room of marble. They don't want to Frida Kahlo. Just get them a candle.
They wipe their ass with Picassos.
Like, do you know what I mean?
Literally, their towels
are like labradoodles.
Like, they're fucking loaded.
They have that
Sheridale that your
flatmate uses.
They have that all over the house.
Yeah.
So me getting them
a Frida Kahlo print
was a ludicrous move
on my part.
Anyway,
then they moved into
this amazing apartment.
Yeah, and I went over and i was i knew
i kind of knew that i don't know something i was like where's frida and then brian brian's
their interior designers yeah this cost me 40 quid at a box park in shoreditch i think it was 60.
60 because it had a friend that's not cheap it was framed actually, actually. It was framed. And Brian was like, it's in the office.
Brian's the nice one.
Brian's the nice one, yeah.
And anyway,
they got drunk that day when we went to Asia
and admitted that
they'd given it to their builder.
I was like,
so,
there's no point.
I've said it before,
having like two or three
rich friends
and like,
they could be great
to be around, but they're very
hard to buy for. I would find James
and Brian hard to buy for but I wouldn't be buying them a print
come on. That was a rookie. I know it was stupid.
Get them a candle or get them another bottle of
soap. That's fucking expensive.
I know. That soap's like 40 quid.
I know. It was a really stupid
move on my part.
So now everything Frida Kahlo related
we send each other photos of it
and then I was going
to get them
when I went to
when I met them
the last time
I was going to get them
remember we went
to their office
for lunch
and I was like
I'm going to get them
another Frida Kahlo print
a spite print
that's a joke
that's all for this week
