Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally. It's the podcast that works on the basis of no script whatsoever apart from a tiny scripted bit at the beginning which I absolutely hate but our corporate handlers insist on. In today's episode we have sleepwalking, defrosting babies and Vogue's clown feet. I was filming this stand-up show the other day so I had to watch old footage of myself back just to kind of try and get like old material because then I don't burn through all my new stuff. Honestly I cannot explain, I I was shaking watching it it was like I'd pt I was getting all these electric shocks I was so horrified by myself I had to
Starting point is 00:00:49 watch myself do stand-up for an hour and what was worse was you couldn't hear the laughs because it was only the mic was recorded so the laughs were really muffled so it was just me screaming for an hour it was I've got PTSD I'm like it was absolutely horrific because like people struggle listening to themselves on a voice note or like their answering machine imagine listening to this shit for an hour of yourself I know but it's really hard to look back at things on yourself and were you quite surprised at how manly your voice sounded because I'm always literally like fall off my seat shocked I'm like who is that man it's me do you reckon people can tell the difference between us I'd say it's difficult to be I say it's difficult too you and Amber like
Starting point is 00:01:31 because we all have the same voice as well and you and Amber kind of look like each other like you I reckon Amber could swap places with you and your mom wouldn't notice I'd love to look like Amber she's got the proper lesbian chic vibes like she's got such a strong sexy lesbian head I wouldn't say Amber's sexy come on she's got the big
Starting point is 00:01:50 cheekbones she's kind of like she's real alpha but she's stunning yeah she is pretty gorgeous and she's got the big boobs I never got the tits
Starting point is 00:01:57 in the family she's got huge tits I was only thinking the other day about us doing breast checks and I was like because her tits
Starting point is 00:02:03 are so small we'd be feeling a lump for a lump it'd be like we genuinely have to go very deep I do a breast check and I'm like oh no rib rib that's it rib again there chest cavity there yeah I can actually feel my full chest cavity I've got this bra on actually I stole it off Glenda Gilson about four years ago it was her wedding bra strapless wedding bra and I swear to god you could punch me in the chest I'd never feel it it's so padded you can go into Victoria's Secret and buy like these triple padded bras and not great for us because obviously we've just got skin to pull up but anyone who had even a
Starting point is 00:02:39 slight boob they'd look great on them you've got boobs you're bigger than mine I don't really they're just kind of lifted well now but I'd actually love it anyway well let's not go down I can't keep talking about how much cosmetics are if you want it's really unhealthy that's what someone said to me the other day they were like what do you think you'll be like when you're 60 I was like I'd say if you push me over I'll smash I'm looking forward to it. I just look like a really weird Siamese cat. A stunning one. Who doesn't want to look like a cat?
Starting point is 00:03:13 One of those Sphinx cats who's had way too much laser and way too much filler. Do you know those hairless cats? That's what I look like. We're going to look amazing. Tell me about your week. Well, I just got back from lanzalotty last night
Starting point is 00:03:26 lovely i went for about 24 hours filming and it was great but it's kind of like being on the moon like there is no green obviously it's got 300 plus volcanoes on it inactive yeah i really want to look into volcanoes and i think that you and i should do a friend trip to Pompeii is that the best idea you've ever heard do you know what we do go try and get some sort of travel log programme going
Starting point is 00:03:50 and let them take us to Pompeii and other weird places and I do you know what would be a great show for us a history show
Starting point is 00:03:59 where I teach you things where I where I I teach you things. Where I... Where I... I teach you things. I teach you things, you thick bitch. I'm like, I'm in, Vogue. This is a mountain. Come on, Voguey, let's go up it.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yay. Give me your Vogue let's go up it yay give me your hand let's go oh my god I've been all for that Vogue the plane's going to take off we're going to go into the sky now yay
Starting point is 00:04:36 woohoo please tend to your mask first I could teach you history stuff and then in another show you could teach me kind of fitness stuff and about parenting wouldn't that be a great idea
Starting point is 00:04:50 fitness stuff like that's what you think of me or how to clean your carpets yes that's the stuff you like doing how to clean your carpets how to get stains out of your clothes
Starting point is 00:05:00 because I have become a stain wizard okay fine I'll teach you how to be a household genius and you'll teach me some fine. I'll teach you how to be a household genius and you'll teach me some basic history. I'll teach you about Pompeii.
Starting point is 00:05:10 You teach me how to get an ab. How about that? That's a fair swap. Okay, in. I might actually have to get John Belton on board, but that's fine. He will ab us up.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I'd love that though. Imagine we could go there. I just want to go places that we wouldn't, we don't want to pay for going ourselves. I'm still laughing. I that we wouldn't we don't want to pay for going ourselves and I'll teach you things about history okay this is a rainbow I keep buying myself books like I have books all about like Russia and shit.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And I'm like, I'm going to read that book. It's sat there honestly for over three years now, but I do have a different book in my bag. I'm going to start reading Joanne, but instead of history, I've now bought Andre Leon Talley. He used to be the,
Starting point is 00:05:59 the, was he the editor of Vogue? And he had a fight with Anna Wintour. So I'm going to read about that instead exactly you tell me about Russia I'll give you my Russia books I was only reading
Starting point is 00:06:09 about Rasputin again the other day I was obsessed with him I don't know he used to microdose arsenic right so then no one
Starting point is 00:06:19 could kill him he was kind of this oh my god he had a long beard with loads of hair stuck in and he was kind of rough looking he looked like he's from Shoreditch he's like an original kind of this... Oh my God. He had a long beard with loads of hair stuck in and he was kind of rough looking.
Starting point is 00:06:25 He looked like he's from Shoreditch. He's like an original kind of Russian hipster. He used to microdouse himself with arsenic. And I was like, I'd love to microdouse myself with something
Starting point is 00:06:34 so that I could enjoy it. And then I was like, hummus would be a great one. Do you know the way hummus is always going for cheap but it's kind of like curdling? And I was like, if I microdoused
Starting point is 00:06:44 and built up an immunity to day-old hummus, I'd basically be eating hummus for free bitch no eat the nice hummus you know I don't treat myself I was in Marks and Spencers with you not long ago you were treating yourself then weren't you I bought a two pound pack of chicken yeah I mean treat yourself wouldn't really call it a five-star experience anyway sorry so carry on you're in Lanzarote so I was in Lanzarote so I was in Lanzarote yeah it was like being on the moon it's kind of it's like a really cool place but I understand why a lot of old people have houses there because I think it's built for them it's
Starting point is 00:07:14 very quiet chilled nice food had a good time and now so it took I mean I flew back into Stansted airport and I don't want to be an airport snob, but I mean, there's just some airports in London I'm not ever flying into again. And Stansted is one of them. Why? I'm not doing it. I was an hour and a half in the queue to get through passport control. I wanted to merger somebody by the time I got through. And it's just not for me.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And then it was an hour and a half home. I hate queuing. I would honestly rather glass myself in the face I just won't queue for anything oh god I was just on the phone
Starting point is 00:07:49 the whole time in the queue being like I am not flying in here again I know I'd throw my toys out of the flan
Starting point is 00:07:55 but it was nice to go up there and now I'm going to Scotland today for a night you just need to get super duper rich and then just fly back
Starting point is 00:08:01 into your own sitting room that's all I want I just want to land a helicopter on my balcony and then I'll be happy yeah I know it's not too much to ask and even I used to be scared of helicopters but supposedly if you always listen to the pilot when he's like listen we're not going to fly today it's too like windy or whatever then you're grand you won't crash i'm glad you can teach me about helicopters that's been very educational yeah if he says it's grand it's grand do you want to know a weird thing about me actually talking of safety so when i used to work on a building site in london one of my jobs
Starting point is 00:08:37 was being like the safety officer so any new like um builders that came to site would have to come in and i'd have to do a safety briefing induction with them. And I used to have to go around the site and like, if someone wasn't wearing their hard hat, I could give out to them. And if somebody was doing something that wasn't safe, I could give out to them. It's so weird. It's so weird that you had this previous life.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Like it's... I know. It's like you telling us you were an astronaut. I just can't get my head around it. I love it though. Because people would assume that I'm stupid. But like if you've got a degree, you're not that stupid. You're a very smart woman, Vogue.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And I will laugh if you put yourself down. No, I am a very intelligent woman. I just don't know anything about history. And last part of my week, the big deal aired. The TV show. Yes. I did. I hear it's going very well
Starting point is 00:09:25 yeah it did because you know what I was kind of shitting myself and I have gotten over the being overly critical of myself and I think the acts were amazing
Starting point is 00:09:34 and I'm glad that everyone liked it it was nice to see like really good acts in Ireland so next week is obviously even better I still don't
Starting point is 00:09:43 I still don't really understand how it works I know it's a hard but you know what even better I still don't I still don't really understand how it works I know it's a hard but you know what even when I was going through it when I had the job so basically all the acts perform right and like there's how many were in the in the semis I think there were 12 in the semis and they all perform and then they decide if they think their performance was good enough that the judges would put them through. So they either want to go through or they can take a cash offer. And the first cash offer is a grand.
Starting point is 00:10:10 It goes up as the weeks go on. But they decide if like if they had a shite performance, they could be like, Alison, wasn't my best. I'm going to take the money and leave. Or they can leave it up to the judges. So the judges could put them through or the judges could say, no, you're a shite. So they would leave it nothing. OK, so they basically take a nothing oh okay so they'd basically
Starting point is 00:10:25 take a gamble on themselves exactly they'd take a gamble on themselves and like they didn't see anyone else perform either which I think would because at least you could
Starting point is 00:10:33 judge yourself against somebody and be like ah shite they were good that's a very interesting but they couldn't do that that's a very interesting experiment in how deranged
Starting point is 00:10:41 people are about their own abilities I look forward to tuning in. I cannot get the Monkey Music song out of my head. I'm taking Gigi to Monkey Music today and Theodore comes. He's meant to sit at the back but he sits and enjoys it. The song has been in my head for two days because I know I've been going. Do you want to hear it? No! Monkey, monkey music, monkey. She's taking out her headphones. I can't, I just can't. I've had,
Starting point is 00:11:11 do you know what song I've had stuck in my head? It's actually gone now but it's going to be back in the, it's going to come back now that I say it. You know that song, I'm not going to sing it
Starting point is 00:11:19 just in case I catch it again. How much is that doggy in the window? I had it stuck in my head. Or I had Simply Red Fairgrounds stuck in my head for about 16 years. Do you know that that was one of the first albums I ever got? For Christmas one year,
Starting point is 00:11:35 I asked for Oasis, Simply Red and The Prodigy. I wasn't allowed to have The Prodigy because it was over 18s or something. But like, what an eclectic music taste. Yeah, that sounds like you were having a psychotic break like do you know that sounds like you've got multiple personalities like that lad from what's that film joe with your man who has all the personalities oh split split joe you're supposed to be googling this shit that's what other producers do they google as people ask questions i knew what she was saying didn't I
Starting point is 00:12:05 that film is terrifying I think my first my first album I think was Kylie Kylie Minogue or or maybe Boyzone
Starting point is 00:12:16 or sorry New Kids on the Block obviously but then I remember when I was about 12 or something I went to Delirious Shopping Centre to buy
Starting point is 00:12:23 Smack My Bitch Up because I was that cool. In my Fruit of the Loom jumper and got a boyfriend in the shopping centre. Joanne, stop trying to be cool saying the prodigy. You were a basic bitch. Kylie. Kylie and Boyzone. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I love the prodigy and I've been known to do the prodigy dance after two bottles of Chardonnay. It started out as river dance and then someone was like, I was at the prodigy dance. And I was like, yeah. I was like, that's cooler. We'll go with that. Fire starter. Yeah. God, they're a good band.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Oasis was the first concert I ever went to and my minder, Mijela, brought me to go see Oasis when I was 12. Your minder, Mijela. Mijela brought me. Mijela Monge I was 12. Your mind, your mediala. Mediala brought me,
Starting point is 00:13:12 mediala monje delgado. I still know her. Where was she from? Costa Rica. I think my mind was called Dimna. Dimna. That's still a name. They don't put names down. Yes, they do. Some names are becoming extinct. Like Kieron is becoming extinct fair have you ever met someone our age called Neil yeah I have two friends called Neil I'll tell you what it is
Starting point is 00:13:31 Karen Karen's becoming extinct I'd rather be called Hitler than Karen these days to be honest I know Mao Stalin
Starting point is 00:13:42 Karen's up there with all of them now God love God love all the Karens who were just sound just trying to live their life I know because they just have this
Starting point is 00:13:50 like association now if a Karen now literally got served a bowl of glass in her salad she wouldn't be able to say a fucking thing about it
Starting point is 00:13:59 she'd be like mmm delicious as her insides bled out add such a crunch who do you want to speak to the manager no no Mmm, delicious. As her insides bled out. I had such a crunch. Who do you want to speak to? The manager? No, no.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Nothing. Just take me straight to the A&E, please. How did that happen with the name Karen? Why Karen? Stop being a Karen. Karen is kind of that traditional woman with the wraparound. And there was a male equivalent called Ken, which never took off. But I do feel for the kind Karens
Starting point is 00:14:26 which there are many men most of them like I mean Karens just a created satirical I feel like Jessica's would be bitchier
Starting point is 00:14:34 than Karens can you imagine in high school when you think of American high school students Jessica is always the cheerleader bitch I mean it could have
Starting point is 00:14:42 easily been Joanne it could have easily been Joanne it was never going to be Vogue never going to I mean, it could have easily been Joanne. It could have easily been Joanne. It was never going to be Vogue. Never going to be Vogue. It could have easily been Joanne and I feel very blessed that it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I could turn it into a Joanne. I could change. Don't be a fucking Joanne. You don't have that much power of Vogue, okay? Or a Joanna. Just because you're on heart radio for 20 minutes a week.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Don't try and ruin my life. What was your week so my week was do you know joe rogan yeah he's always top of the podcasts i like a bit of joe i actually do like a bit of joe rogan but he's you know you know there's stuff that he says i'm not mad about his podcast can be a bit of a cock fest. It's just like men sitting around smoking cigars and stuff. But I do like him. I kind of, actually, I kind of fancy him. I'm kind of attracted to small but pinch, powerful men.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Anyway. Let me Google. It's only the power you fancy, obviously. I don't know. I also like the baldness. Is he, where is he from? Oh no, Joanne. No.
Starting point is 00:15:44 No? Oh my God. I wasn't expecting him to look like that he's like a UFC man he's yeah he's big into MMA and all that shit
Starting point is 00:15:51 anyway he's not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch I'm not gonna say he is but he certainly circles the plug hell he's anti-system for sure Jo
Starting point is 00:16:01 would you not agree Jo have you are you yeah yeah there he is okay so don't tell me he's like anti-vaxxer he's anti-vax right he doesn't want to take it but it's not that he's not anti-vax in the sense that he thinks he's trying he's being controlled by a deep state he just doesn't want to put it in his body right so he thinks that there's other ways
Starting point is 00:16:17 that's fair and that's what i think is his deal anyway um yeah so he's he got anyway he got corona and he's taken it their headline was joean gets Corona, treats himself with horse dewormer. And I thought this was hilarious. So I reposted it and said, oh, cool. When I got Corona, I treated myself with a bath bomb, some snail pellets and a roll on can of Mitchum powder soft. Right. Whatever. Like, I i just bind it up again i don't know if someone's got alerts for joe rogan or what the fuck but did they come educate yourself educate yourself so apparently what he's taking is ivermectin which he's saying he gave him by
Starting point is 00:17:04 was given by a doctor they're like it's FDA approved and I was like yeah if you've got worms it's FDA approved anyway I was like look I'm not getting into this I took it down
Starting point is 00:17:12 but I resent being told to educate myself I don't want a degree in pharmaceuticals to make a stupid joke about a headline I'm never I don't need to educate myself
Starting point is 00:17:21 my days of taking tests are gone my only tests I'm going to take now are smear and cholesterol I want the right to educate myself. My days of taking tests are gone. My only tests I'm going to take now are smear and cholesterol. I want the right to make stupid, irrelevant, irreverent jokes. Yeah, but I think that comedians have to,
Starting point is 00:17:33 like, I'm glad to hear that because too many comedians are starting to pull back a bit. And it's like, you can't pull back comedy shit. You've got to keep being funny and you're going to offend people. Tough fucking luck to them.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Like, it's a joke. You get that fucking Joe Rogan video back being funny and you're going to offend people. Tough fucking luck to them. Like, it's a joke. You, get that fucking Joe Rogan video back up. I was just going to say, I'm all talk, but I took it down.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'm like, I won't be silent. I deleted it. I just don't want that shit in my life. I don't need it. No, that's my worst
Starting point is 00:18:02 I got an A in geography of my leaving. My educating days are done, dusted. Okay. I fucking nailed it. No. That's my worst interest. I got an A in geography in my leaving. My educating days are done. Dusted. Okay. I fucking nailed it. Goodbye.
Starting point is 00:18:08 You don't care about pharmaceuticals. And excuse me if anyone knows about pharmaceuticals you do. Because of my prescriptions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Also maybe the horses are onto something. I've never seen a horse wearing a map. Here comes Fanny. All right, Joanne, you look quite fit. Thank you. You look good today, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Very nice. Thanks, babes. You too. She always looks like that lately. I don't know what she's done to herself. I don't always know, but... She does. Every time I've seen her, when was the last time you saw her not looking good?
Starting point is 00:18:41 I've gotten facials. Not the sick kind. Well, I wouldn't want to say. Hi, Jo. Not the sick kind well I wouldn't want to say hi Jo not the sick kind wow another thing that happened to me this week which was quite interesting
Starting point is 00:18:53 was I took a turn oh yeah I telephoned right this and she gave me absolutely no sympathy at all basically Jo I'll tell you
Starting point is 00:19:00 so I was doing a lot of shows you know burning the candle not just about that like I was literally slicing the candle up, you know, burning the candle, not just about that, like it was literally slicing the candle up the middle and then burning the wicks like in between, you know, like at all angles, like, and then like hammering the candle into the ground. It was very full on. And I'd noticed my speech was kind of starting to go a bit, like I couldn't get my
Starting point is 00:19:18 words out and stuff. And I was kind of stumbling over my words and I was making mistakes, like saying I'm on a train or I'm on a, when I was on a plane and the other way around all just very strange so then anyway did recorded Deirdre O'Kane's stand-up show which is brilliant that was great crack then the next day I did a show in Belfast which was lovely then the next morning I woke up and my hands were shaking really badly and my voice was it was all I was's going on? Anyway, I had to do a research call for the late, late. And literally she said to me, like, you know, let's chat about some entertaining stories. And my words just completely went, couldn't say anything. And I fell over.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Right? Yeah. I thought I was having a stroke. I know stroke I know I know I told Vogue and she just completely dismissed it
Starting point is 00:20:08 I had to speak to John Belton for 45 minutes about it yesterday I've obviously had some low level anxiety attack and he's like you're not getting enough sleep and we had
Starting point is 00:20:17 we had a big conversation about it anyway I've been getting away with burning the candle for years now which John Belton says means I'm very resilient but those days are over so now I think I'm away with burning the candle for years now, which John Belton says means I'm very resilient.
Starting point is 00:20:25 But those days are over. So now I think I'm basically going into the world of wellness. Yeah. I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack or I thought I had a brain tumor. I honestly think when she's when she was so lovely, the research, she's so nice. But when she was like, let's talk about some kind of funny stories we can talk about. My brain literally just collapsed. And I was like let's talk about some kind of funny stories we can talk about my brain literally just collapsed and I was like I've nothing entertaining I've nothing to say like
Starting point is 00:20:51 generally sometimes someone says you have a brain fart my brain completely shat itself it was so bizarre it was so crazy and obviously I had to take a Xanax immediately actually my I rang my mom and she was like she'd never say take a Xanax was like you need to take his annex I was in a hotel of my own in Belfast it was horrific but anyway it got us thinking about sleep and I think I was just sleep deprived but yeah I don't think you get enough sleep like even today what time do you go to bed at last night but do you know what it is right do you know the way everyone's talking about their sleep cycles and their REMs and their light sleep? I don't know anything. I just go to sleep and I dream about being back in school,
Starting point is 00:21:28 but it's actually a shopping center or something stupid. And then I wake up. I have no idea what goes on in the middle. I don't keep track. Whereas people are like, oh, I got like 40 minutes of REM and like 20 minutes of light and 60 minutes of dark and 30 minutes of Zumba. I don't know what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I know. I'll tell you what. I got one hour, 23 minutes of deep sleep last I don't know. I don't know what they're talking about. I know. I'll tell you what. I got one hour, 23 minutes of deep sleep last night. There you go. But you don't track your sleep, but there's, I think it's good not to track your sleep,
Starting point is 00:21:52 but you need to know like when you're going to bed and when you're waking up, you need to make sure you have to get seven hours. When I'm talking to John again, I'm talking to John Belton, who's actually my trainer, but I think I've kind of tried to, I think I've melded him into my life coach.
Starting point is 00:22:03 He's really good at that by the way. We discussed it and I was like, oh yeah, because do you know the way at night I listen to documentaries so that I can try to take in the information I don't know why about Pompeii like what anyway so I'm never really asleep do you know what I mean like if you noise going on in the background all the time I used to do it to direct my dreams but then I'm never actually asleep I think that you should get the calm app right and there's this like there's this deep sleep thing on it I swear to god it sends you into this weird trance you can listen to it for 5 10 15 20 25 minutes and then it stops after that and you'll you'll probably be asleep but it just it the way it
Starting point is 00:22:45 obviously is doing something to make you go into a really deep sleep but things like that like i have a routine before bed i get into bed i use that cbd oil you were drinking by the bottle not so long ago love actually that's so curious i have i have reduced the cbd although since that mini stroke i had in belfastast I have upped my CBD how many three two squirts couple of squirts
Starting point is 00:23:09 well in fairness like I got a big fright so I was I was there were more tablespoons I was taking after that I moved up from squirts
Starting point is 00:23:17 I promoted myself from CBD squirts to just like like a ketchup bottle just fucking in the thing into my mouth like that
Starting point is 00:23:24 they can't keep up with your demand squirts of CBD oil Just like a ketchup bottle, just fucking in the thing into my mouth like that. They can't keep up with your demand. Squirts of CBD oil, spray pillow spray on your pillows, I sleep with earplugs, and I put on white noise, and I swear it's like, and sometimes a face mask too. I look like a weirdo,
Starting point is 00:23:40 but I have the best sleep. Because I just can't get out. My God. I know. A lot goes into my sleep it's so important you don't and plus you're not gonna like what I'm about to say I drink half you have put on a document yeah and sleep facing down but if you're drinking before bed that that messes up your sleep as well sleep is so mad and I was watching um you should watch something no my scary actually it might give you it sleep paralysis have you ever seen people who get sleep paralysis it's so scary yeah spenny used to get it right he
Starting point is 00:24:10 was going out with this girl and when he was going out with this certain girl it went like he was having it almost every single night and when they broke up it went away but like he would wake up and he wouldn't be able to move and there'd be like a goblin on his chest and he'd be like freaking out and then like, yeah, imagine having that crap. I know, I've heard,
Starting point is 00:24:28 I have friends who had it before. I had it once in Australia where my mind woke up before my body and it was absolutely terrifying but I never had it as in there was goblins or anything.
Starting point is 00:24:37 But it's like your man, do you remember your man who had locked in syndrome and wrote that book with his eye? No. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Jo, do you know this lad? He actually wrote book with his eye oh the diving bell and the butterfly Joe do you know this lad
Starting point is 00:24:46 he actually wrote it with one eye because he basically had it went something happened to him he fell into a coma woke up but his mind woke up
Starting point is 00:24:53 but his body didn't but they didn't know he was awake anyway eventually they figured out he was awake they had to stitch up one of his eyes
Starting point is 00:24:58 because something happened to him and he wrote a whole book with one eye blinking yeah or else he just loved blinking and someone read
Starting point is 00:25:04 too much into it but I think he pretty much wrote the book with one eye it's so embarrassing write a book write a book with one eye. Blinken. Yeah, or else he just loved Blinken and someone read too much into it. But I think he pretty much wrote the book with one eye. It's so embarrassing. Write a book with an eye. I can't even write a text. I voice note everyone, even when it's completely inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I voice note my accountant. But I know we like talking about sleep. So I looked up some, I have some stories about sleepwalking, first of all. I kind of feel like sleepwalking is, it feels very 90s to me. I don't really like, do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:25:27 It feels kind of dated. It's, do you know what? I did a pod with Natalie Pinkham from, she's like an F1 presenter. And she has really, really bad, like that's what she does all the time. She sleepwalks. She sleptwalked out of her hotel room before. She does like mad shit when she sleepwalks and she does it all the time and like there's no reasoning as to why people do i did it once uh years ago in portugal
Starting point is 00:25:52 but it's kind of like you don't remember anything but like do you not remember hearing like horror stories of people walking into the woods and they die and stuff no imagine waking up in the woods because you've slept walked in there the deep dark wood yeah no that's watching a scary program on telly at the moment and that's what it reminds me of it uh go on tell me tell me some bits about i don't i don't think i've slept sleep slept joe how do you say it in the past sleep sleep walked yeah i don't think i've sleep walked however i did wake up one morning with 3 000 steps on my fit. And I was like, that's weird. What? I know.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Because you were moving around so much. I hope I went to the gym. How handy would that be? Sleep squatting. Sleep squatting. Why isn't that a thing? Sleep planking. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I can't believe I planked all night last night. I'm so embarrassed. Anyway, I looked at these stories. Oh yeah, here's one. This made me laugh. It shouldn't really. I was on Ambien for about two years. After couple of months I started realizing I was doing weird stuff Ambien is the stuff that turned Roseanne Barr racist do you know this shit it's big in America
Starting point is 00:26:54 is it like uh is it like Xanax like a stronger Xanax well it sounds just like it's kind of a pill form of white wine to be honest okay oh that sounds quite nice actually yeah I was on Ambien for about two years after a couple of months I started realizing I was doing weird stuff after I took it that I didn't remember nothing serious that I knew of but I would wake up with food all over my bed or there would be posts I made online like no recollection of I didn't think it was that big of a deal so I stayed on it one night toward the end of my time on ambient I woke up in my car I was in my pajamas driving and crying I knew knew where I was, but I had no idea how I got there. And I didn't know why I was crying either. That's why I'm like,
Starting point is 00:27:28 that just sounds like white wine. But anyway, this is the next one, right? That's just a Friday night. I'm like, yeah, you had a weekend. Get over yourself. This is the next one. I have sexsomnia. A few times I've woken up in the middle of the night going down on my partner I first found out I did this in my senior year of college when my boyfriend at the time slept over he texted me later in the day and apologized for not wanting to have sex in the middle of the night and I had no idea what he was talking about sometimes I don't remember at all other times I become lucid only after I'm going all out it freaked my current boyfriend out at first but, but he's since embraced it. Fucking say he has. I think she just, I think he just got worried about what could potentially happen. Like what could I do to him while I was asleep without any conscious
Starting point is 00:28:13 knowledge? I've never attempted penetrative sex of any kind. So I think he's become more comfortable as a result of that. And just knowing and trusting me too. I've also woken up to myself vigorously masturbating. I've noticed that has up to myself vigorously masturbating. I've noticed that has only happened when I sleep in either my boxers or briefs. I don't wear boxers, and it doesn't really happen from any recollection of when I sleep naked. Oh, I bet as many witches I had sleep, Sonia. Oh no, what a terrible diagnosis. Here she comes again gobbling away
Starting point is 00:28:47 look at her little just blindly blindly gobbling away in the middle of the night imagine that would be a scary sight here she comes with her earplugs
Starting point is 00:28:55 and her eye mask gobble gobble oh lord mommy's hungry midnight snack for mommy oh I hate the way you say that mommy sicko
Starting point is 00:29:07 you were the ones who called each other mama and dada that poor person sexsomnia I mean sexsomnia I wouldn't be giving away
Starting point is 00:29:14 free blowies all night poor person's right but what do they do if there's no one there just go down to the lamp you need to just kind of get it out of your system
Starting point is 00:29:22 I hope they don't have a cat poor cat will be like no no not again no oh god that's so nice
Starting point is 00:29:37 I know I'd say that's the highest that really needs a cat flap they're like please god don't fucking cats not come back to the crack of dawn
Starting point is 00:29:43 bye They're like, please, God, don't fucking cats not come back to the crack of dawn. Bye. I have to say about a COVID test, when you're away, they really, I don't know what it is, they really shove it up there. Portugal was the worst. And she's like, stop moving your head. I'm like, stop like touching my brain.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I saw this weird thing in the news this week and I thought it was so funny. Because you know, like with TV, you can kind of get anyone to do anything. Yes. Well, turns out you can't. Celeb attractions, you attractions you know no naked attraction you know that show on channel 4 where everyone gets
Starting point is 00:30:27 their bits out like I don't know what it is but like to be looking at loads of willies and vaginas it's so fascinating how different
Starting point is 00:30:35 they all are but anyway they tried to do a celeb version and they couldn't get the celebs to go on it so they had to cancel it how good
Starting point is 00:30:43 would that have been firstly I'm surprised they couldn't get people to do it although secondly no actually do you know what I take it back I'm not because
Starting point is 00:30:50 even with Love Island and stuff like they still are wearing bikinis and stuff they'd have to get the only people I think that would be totally comfortable would be
Starting point is 00:30:58 kind of like the porn the only fan porn stars kind of people really ultimately and they probably wouldn't even be that comfortable either because the fee's probably shit they're probably making way much more money on only fans
Starting point is 00:31:10 giving people happy birthday messages by queefing out their candles that's where the cash is queefing out their candles but i was thinking my problem with naked attraction is this the stillness of them i think it would be more interesting if they were like doing things if they collabed with like another show like Jungle or Cash in the Attic or um Antiques Roadshow or something where they had like something to do the fanny goes on on the Antiques Roadshow and picks out nice antiques yeah put a put a put a put a dick on a plinth be like what do you think of it now like just like twirl it around like give me a bit of movement it's just a lack of movement i find very boring about naked attraction to be honest yeah but you don't like yeah i suppose if like if if i was a man and it was on my willy i'd be like helicoptering and shit like that like trying
Starting point is 00:32:02 to stand out from the crowd of course course. Or like pulling my balls over and being like, is it a dick or a fanny? You'll never know. Woo! It's both. 100%. Although I will say,
Starting point is 00:32:11 if I was a man going on a naked attraction, I'd iron my balls. They're incredibly creased. Also, what I would say. And I'd do a little tug just before,
Starting point is 00:32:19 so it was like halfway there. That's how I knew I'd become a woman. I saw a first set of testicles and went, they could do with an iron. But you know what I think celebrities spend so long keeping their dicks anonymous but they're not you know what I mean like sending anonymous dick pics and then I was like do you remember imagine I found out you remember that uh the dick pic I got which was
Starting point is 00:32:38 just like the little bit of blue tack in the back yeah yeah yeah imagine celebrity um naked attraction had happened and it was revealed and that was actually a celebrity's imagine I was like oh my god it's Keith Lemon's dick
Starting point is 00:32:49 or something oh my god I'm like oh my god that's it that's the blue tack dick vote vote look it belongs to Richard Madley
Starting point is 00:32:55 Richard Madley oh my god I'd watch a naked attraction I'm actually Richard and Judy did it I'd be woo I'd be all eyes
Starting point is 00:33:04 who would I love to see god there's quite a few in fairness but I actually got sent a celeb willy before that people would know and I'm like
Starting point is 00:33:12 it sounds like that sounds like you got sent it in a box like on its own no no no I got sent a picture of it yeah but like
Starting point is 00:33:20 it was really obvious whose willy it was because like you could see things around the willy and stuff. And I'm like, how many people have you sent that to and it hasn't gotten out? Like, it's like a family portrait of Richard and Judy in the background. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Like imagine like, or you had like your rings on. Like I'd be like, that's Joanne's flaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. I know what you mean. Yeah. But it made me think of like weird jobs I've been offered. I was once offered this job.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I actually don't think the show ever went ahead, but it was like this show to go and spend two weeks living with your ex. I mean, who would want to go and do that? Well, I would just use it as an opportunity to get back with them. I'd be like, look, this is what we've been offered. We want to live with you and then just like not leave. And then we'll fall in love forever and ever. No way.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I'm back baby yeah god and then I once got offered you know this job a job for people like I'm sorry I know I'm a tall girl I'm a size 7 foot right

Did you see this? People who want to start a family can freeze their eggs, sperm and embryos for up to 55 years now. 55? In an overhaul
Starting point is 00:36:06 of fertility rules intended to help prospective parents the existing 10 year limit on the length of time those planning to use in vitro fertilisation can store
Starting point is 00:36:14 the genetic materials needed is being scrapped the government said prospective parents should not have to wrestle with time limits on their fertility choices
Starting point is 00:36:21 and this important change to storage time scales will give people more control over their future and eliminate the pressure that Joanne McNally feels with knowing a decision
