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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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,
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
that film is
terrifying
I think my first
my first album
I think was Kylie
Kylie Minogue
or
or maybe Boyzone
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
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.
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.
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,
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
Karen
Karen's becoming extinct
I'd rather be called Hitler
than Karen these days
to be honest
I know
Mao
Stalin
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
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
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.
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
which there are
many men
most of them
like I mean Karens
just a created
satirical
I feel like Jessica's
would be bitchier
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
You don't care about
pharmaceuticals.
And excuse me
if anyone knows
about pharmaceuticals
you do.
Because of my prescriptions.
Yeah.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
I promoted myself
from CBD squirts
to just like
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 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,
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
you were the ones
who called each other
mama and dada
that poor person
sexsomnia
I mean
sexsomnia
I wouldn't be giving away
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
I hope they don't have a cat
poor cat will be like
no
no
not again
no
oh god
that's so nice
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
but I got offered this job
for women with big feet
and big wide feet
and it's like
how big do you think my
like do they just look huge
do they look like boats
on my feet
I don't know do you want my like do they just look huge do they look like boats on my feet I don't know
no do you want
this big foot job
no you're alright
that's like me
being offered a job
for like large heads
you know for like
special sized hats
or something like that
yeah
I've seen your feet
they are
perfectly sized
like
yeah especially
how would I balance
without a size 7
it's not like you've got
clown noses
on the end of the revolution
their huge feet she goes in to have a pedicure and they're like
we don't have a tub big enough they're like we need more stuff
do you know those um when you go into those piranhas,
remember the piranhas eating your feet?
Yes!
The piranhas are like dead after.
I had to eat those giant feet.
They're all just like floating on top.
They overate. They overate.
They overate and exploded.
Just like piranha juice everywhere.
They're like, oh God, sorry,
Vogue Williams is in.
You know yourself, huge feet.
A lot of them didn't make it.
I just, you don't even,
you don't hear me.
Like all you hear is flap, flap, flap
as soon as I walk.
The top of my toes, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap.
You need to get a pedicure done in a canoe for the lens.
You need to get them soaked in a canoe.
Because they're so big.
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
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
the genetic materials
needed
is being scrapped
the government said
prospective parents
should not have to wrestle
with time limits
on their fertility choices
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
has to be made
in the next three minutes.
That's good, isn't it?
I think it's good.
I don't think that you need it
for 50 years though.
Well, I was thinking it's great
because basically my fear
is dying alone
and that's why I would have a child.
And if I could now freeze my eggs
and then dissolve them
or like defrost them on my dissolve them or like defrost them
on my deathbed.
I'd like to defrost them
when I'm 80
and then just have a child
who has to be in the crib
as I pass away.
Job done.
Job done.
Plus, as an elder woman,
if I was like a granny mum,
there would be perks.
You wouldn't even have to
lift a child up to breastfeed
because your tits
would be at your feet.
You just have to kick it in the face perfect your nipple would just be another toe be amazing
yeah that's actually quite handy yeah we thought about that maybe i should hold off on any more
kids until my tits fall below my knees i'm telling you now give your arms a break that i never thought about that maybe I should hold off on any more kids until my tits fall below my knees
