Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Global Player original podcast. Hello and welcome to My Therapist Ghosts With Me with me, Vogue Williams and... Joanne McNally. I know it's going to be a good week when she lets me say my name. I always let you say your name every week do you and I think to myself will I continue this
Starting point is 00:00:29 charade does she deserve it I don't think so not this week has she been good has she been good enough cut her out Jo okay cut her out
Starting point is 00:00:38 to say herself to say her own name I don't think she has actually there's a bit of attitude I'm not sure if this is the right way to go about things how's your week
Starting point is 00:00:47 big news huge news go on Cher if you didn't share every detail on social media I might be surprised big
Starting point is 00:00:55 news I actually think I've been quite reserved online of late really yeah yeah yeah for every video I post trust me there's been 17
Starting point is 00:01:04 I've deleted or haven't posted Fair fair I'm like that's a really Boring thought Joanna It's like the jewellery strategy Do you know when there It was at Chanel
Starting point is 00:01:14 It was like when you're Load all your jewellery And when you're going out the door Take one off And that's like the right Amount of jewellery I find Instagram
Starting point is 00:01:21 It kind of needs The same strategy There's so That's why you send people memes Instead of posting them same strategy. There's so much. That's why you send people memes instead of posting them all. There's so many that are so funny that I have groups of people. We all send each other. Sometimes I'm memed out of it.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I'm like, I can't take anymore. And I have to just back off. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when someone sends you a thumbs up, you've gone too far. There's been too many memes. Or if they just like it, you you know it's like double click like get lost you're like give me an old haha lol go on won't kill you yeah and i can go about my day
Starting point is 00:01:50 then with some validation like it's no it's no skin off yours to give me a haha lol uh sometimes it's a lot now spencer will send me sometimes and i'm not exaggerating eight or nine in a row and he's like did you watch that did you watch that i. It's funny. I don't have time to watch. Eight or nine of those things in a row. Stop. And how do you have the time? So stop it. He's so hysterical.
Starting point is 00:02:11 It's because he's running all the time. What else is he supposed to do out there. When he check his memes. I miss him though. He's gone home. He got quite upset. When he was going home. Which was very unusual.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Because he's leaving the farm. It was probably tears of joy. To be honest with you. Because he's going to farm it was probably tears of joy to be honest with you because he's gonna have such nice sleeps and no one annoying him all the time uh but no he got upset when he went home but we had this nice little thing where we were like going running all the time um do you not have just realized i've just like barged into your big news could you tell us your big news and then we can talk about the running chat oh my oh my god that is the biggest amount
Starting point is 00:02:46 of growth I think I've ever seen. That's the first time you've ever backtracked on that. It's very self-aware. Oh my God. Okay, anyway, so I was running yesterday.

Starting point is 00:04:51 my funeral I want to be pushed up the aisle to smack my bitch up in the casket but anyway that's just Prodigy is one of the greatest bands
Starting point is 00:04:58 in the whole world I know I went to see them do I remember any of it no I don't I do I may as see them Do I remember any of it? No I don't I do I may as well have been at home Wait
Starting point is 00:05:06 Resting I was like Everyone was like That was deadly wasn't it? I was like It was back in the day When I used to really Have a go at myself
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah so Where did I see it? It must have been the electric picnic Was the last time I saw them And they had all their lasers And their light shows Which probably now Isn't that unusual
Starting point is 00:05:24 But at the time Back in the day It was It last time I saw them and they had all their lasers and their light shows which probably now isn't that unusual but at the time back in the day it was they were pretty ahead of their time. Actually no sorry I wasn't there I've just faked a memory.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I've done that I've done it again I've faked a whole memory and a personality and a character. It was it was a video I saw on TikTok
Starting point is 00:05:43 and they had done this it was when your man God love him your man died. It was a video I saw on TikTok. And they had done this. It was when your man, God love him, your man died. I was wondering though, because you're not a gig girl. So I was like, what was she doing? I hate live music. What's your man's name who died with the horns? Keith. Yeah, so it was kind of a homage to Keith.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And the project of his laser where they kind of did this light silhouette of him and it was phenomenal but I wasn't there but you know what that's the power of the internet I'm completely
Starting point is 00:06:12 convinced I was was I I think I hooked up with Keith from The Prodigy or was that someone else she was on she was at Michael Jackson's
Starting point is 00:06:21 first tour what was that like Joanne when he was doing Billie Jean and everything was that fantastic? I actually laid Toot and Camus to rest you know.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I was there yeah when they put him in and all. Chariot that's how he died no one knows that but yeah I was there killed in a chariot accident.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Oh did he? Yeah. That's actually plausible yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah and I believe I was there when Michael Collins was shot oh really yeah I believe so
Starting point is 00:06:46 how interesting did you vote for Eamon De Valera I didn't were you there no I didn't he hates women oh you didn't vote for Eamon okay cool
Starting point is 00:06:54 no no no you see if you watch enough documentaries while you sleep you can convince yourself of anything yeah yeah yeah I am off the booze now I'm showing my hand yeah yeah yeah I
Starting point is 00:07:05 am off the booze now I'm showing my hand by making this as big an announcement as I am yeah I'm probably
Starting point is 00:07:14 giving a little bit away about how much booze I was consuming but I'm off it it's been seven days wow that's actually very good I am a new woman
Starting point is 00:07:25 now what happened was I obviously as we know am writing a book and deadlines are looming and I was like okay there needs to be you know a kind of a digging down a kind of a channeling
Starting point is 00:07:40 this is time to channel and get serious about this shit and like kind of turn my writing into a 9-5 job rather than just like spitting out a couple of lines here and there and shutting the laptop and going back to doing something else. So I was like I'm going to come off the booze. Now midweek is one thing but the weekends I'd always drink on the weekends.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I can't remember the last time I didn't drink on the weekend. I didn't touch a drop all weekend. Now Vogue, riddle me this. Yeah. Did you know there was 12 hours in a day? I did, Joan. Because I did not. And fuck me, are they long hours.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I had done a gazillion pings. It was 11am on Saturday. I was like, what on earth happens now? And then I realised. Do you not think it's the greatest thing on earth? Well I'm going to have to fill I'm going to have to take up some sort of arts and crafts or something like I can't keep running
Starting point is 00:08:32 No I gotta I was like Forrest Gump I was just running trying to tire myself out like a child I know but there's so many things that you could go and do you could go to a gallery and also can I just warn you it's so funny that you've it's amazing that you've given up the booze i think because you're gonna have so much more time and you're gonna feel so good about yourself too much time i was only
Starting point is 00:08:52 talking to um to john belton this morning about like about when when you're not a big drinker like i'm not a huge drinker and like not a lot of people are like oh vogue what are you doing because like if it doesn't involve drink You get invited to less things You do less things So like even now that Spencer's gone away I'm like hmm what am I going to do And then I was like I'll go out with them
Starting point is 00:09:14 And then I was like oh no because they'll just want to go in the piss And like no one really wants to go Like no one extends invites if you're not like Great crack drinking all the time But I'm great crack not drinking That is true And I think now That I'm in a sober period Of my life
Starting point is 00:09:27 I probably will see More of you socially Yeah Because we'll do Do you remember Do you know what Only a few weeks ago You said to me
Starting point is 00:09:34 You were like Ugh Why don't you drink wine And I was like I know she'd much prefer If I would go And have a like Glass of wine
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yeah You never do it No You're not a pub gal No And I was last week this week not a pub gal I'm a running gal, I'm a harness gal
Starting point is 00:09:54 I'm a crossfit gal I'm an arts and crafts gal, I'm making felt brooches on a Saturday night she's starting to do sexy pottery on a Saturday night I've started making my bed like I don't know I don't know how long this is going to last
Starting point is 00:10:06 is your house spotless? I mean I wouldn't go I'm not on speed I wouldn't go that far but honestly like I know I sound
Starting point is 00:10:18 like an absolute lush but the clarity of the mind I know like what I've realised is I usually fudge my weekend. My weekends are just gently, they're kind of hazy because there's wine involved. There might be a wine at lunch.
Starting point is 00:10:33 There's certainly a wine in the evenings. There might be a Bloody Mary on a Sunday. Like it was, do you know, it was all just a bit hazy, foggy. The day just kind of tripped along. La,
Starting point is 00:10:44 la, la, la, la. And now it's like tripped along. La, la, la, la, la. And now it's like every minute of the day is like. I don't know what to do. I'm going to have to get another job. I think I'm going to apply for a job in press.
Starting point is 00:10:57 You need to just learn to fill your time. There's loads of good bits you can do. But the thing about it is, that's what I say to you. See what I say to you about how I feel when I'm hungover like I literally can't like I can't focus on anything I'm too worried about being like anxious and like I hate it so much that it's just not worth my time you see yeah you get to her I don't you see I don't know that's the problem there was never really any massive consequence except for distraction and concentration but like
Starting point is 00:11:25 now I realise why Spencer's running 30 marathons in 30 days I nearly bought a fucking bike at the weekend I was like okay it's 12pm I'm gonna have to
Starting point is 00:11:33 I'm gonna start training for an Ironman I was like I don't know what else to do Saturday night I was still running I ran out of the flat ran around clapping common
Starting point is 00:11:41 ran past my trainer Olivia who's in a bar with her fella she's seeing drinking and Olivia's like Joanne what the fuck are you doing
Starting point is 00:11:48 I was like running past with a bottle of coconut water it was like half 8 on Saturday night I was like I can't stop wait until she starts going to bed already
Starting point is 00:11:57 6.30am awake my work is nearly complete I don't know what to do I think I don't know what to do a lot of changes need to happen.
Starting point is 00:12:05 My work on Joanne began when I saw her suitcases and I was like this is not how we pack a suitcase Joanne. Yeah. And then she started
Starting point is 00:12:11 packing her suitcase well. Then she started cleaning her flat now she's off the booze. I mean. I know. Spencer's been transformed as well.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I'm telling you Spencer packs his clothes neatly now. He's at home and Alzo's been leaving cups in the sink and Spencer's going mental about it. Now you know how I feel.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Why do I have to go home and be the tyrant? And he's like, I can't wait for you to get back and put everyone in their place. I hope sobriety doesn't mean I have to be a domestic tyrant, but I guess if that's the way it's going, that's the way it's going. And folding your clothes, that's more, that does kill more time oh my god
Starting point is 00:12:51 but I tell you the weirdest dream I had last night please and I actually woke up for half an hour and I was like well hold on
Starting point is 00:12:59 hold on were I or Joe in it no then we don't okay cool so how was your week? Oh, thank you. Do you know what I started doing as well?
Starting point is 00:13:11 I call it sobriety. I fucking didn't drink for six, seven days. Like I'm hardly chairing a meeting. But Pilates. So I was gifted very generously by a company called Flex Era. And I want to give her a shout out because she's so sound.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Her name's Hannah. She's an Irish woman and she makes bespoke Pilates beds. So I have a Pilates bed, like a reformer Pilates bed, which I was like, Joanne, do not make- Anything, anything but have someone
Starting point is 00:13:38 stay over in the spare room. She's turned it into a gym. Sorry, mom, no space. You can't come You can't You can't even fit the Pilates bed In there anymore I've got so much shite In that room
Starting point is 00:13:49 But anyway I mean I was like Joanne do not make this Reformer bed A fucking expensive Clothes horse Do you know what I mean Let's
Starting point is 00:13:56 Let's Let's keep this momentum going So I did two Pilates classes It's time just to Pilates girl now This is what I do Pilates Pilates I love a bit of Pilates A bit of Pilates A bit'm just a Pilates girl now This is what I do Pilates I love a bit of Pilates

Starting point is 00:14:14 There is not One ounce of body fat On him He is like Pure muscle And when you see the stuff That he Like the strength
Starting point is 00:14:22 That Pilates gives you Like you'd never realise like because it works muscles that you don't work out when you're like training in the gym doing weights
Starting point is 00:14:30 and stuff like that it's a completely it's amazing and it lengthens you it's yeah Pilates is fab I just wish I'd got the bed earlier and I could have been competing

Starting point is 00:19:37 the weirdest Instagram accounts we both follow don't start unfollowing some weirdo things that you follow because I'll know no no no I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:19:45 imagine like being like out of something fucking awful now it's like when you see politicians and they're liking all these like
Starting point is 00:19:54 bikini pictures and stuff of people it's like dude how do you not know people can see you liking that stuff I know oh yeah the story
Starting point is 00:20:01 I was telling you was so I already told you this but when I was in school doing CSPE that civics or something it was called our teacher used to get us to um pen pal um a murderer on death row that is we did beyond mad that no tell me you went to school in the 90s they tell him you went to school in the 90s that is I know Fucking crazy That's like kids going To fucking Epstein's Island On a school tour Like it's mental
Starting point is 00:20:27 Well you did that too Twice Did you Yeah But I have been on Death Row loads of times So remember You have
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yes I did that prison documentary And I was on I went to interview this girl On Death Row And like you go in And you're not allowed To touch their hands
Starting point is 00:20:41 Or shake their hands Or anything It's mad It's a mad place And you're not allowed To touch their hands or shake their hands or anything. It's mad. It's a mad place. And you're not allowed to touch their hands. Why? In case they grab you through the glass. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I don't know. You're not allowed to shake their hands or anything like that, which felt kind of rude to me. Like you'd be passing something to them. It could be like a secret sort of thing. Something cheeky. Did you hear about Jill said she thought it was rude that she couldn't shake their hand. That is hysterical. I also thought it was rude that she couldn't shake their hand. That is hysterical. I also
Starting point is 00:21:06 thought it was rude that she murdered somebody. There you go. Rude, rude, rude, rude, rude. How can I criticise him for murdering someone when I didn't have the decency to shake his hand? We are the same. I don't know. It's just such
Starting point is 00:21:22 a natural thing though, you know, when you're just like you have to be polite to people and like that is just being polite murderer or not I'd love to see I'd love the image of you going in for the French kiss the double like
Starting point is 00:21:31 oh bonjour chante I was going all Swiss on the day I wanted a triple kiss do you know that you pass loads of murderers a day and you wouldn't even know it and I actually recently
Starting point is 00:21:42 shook someone's hand and then I was thinking that person's probably murdered people is then I was thinking that person's probably murdered people is what I was thinking why do they have like did they I'll tell you about it another time but somebody was like somebody was like oh do you know that that is that person and I was like and then I ran away I ran home well do you remember Ruby Wax talking about OJ Simpson and she was saying like when she interviewed him and brought him for dinner and women were coming up
Starting point is 00:22:05 and men coming up and they're like oh my god I've never shaken the hand of a murderer they're like it's some really weird very dark psychological
Starting point is 00:22:12 take on it that they're kind of it's but supposedly you do walk by a load of murderers every day and I guess it makes sense fucking weird
Starting point is 00:22:21 anyway Vogue I have found a woman That makes sense. Fucking weird. Anyway. Vogue, I have found a woman. I have found a mother more terrifyingly productive than you. Bullshit. Who is she? I thought that would upset you, all right. Yeah, it has done, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's like when you tell me about that woman who had a larger mouth than me. You just take away all my accolades. What will I have left? Still remember that? Disgusting. Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I did apologise for that privately. Go on.
Starting point is 00:22:59 So her name is Hannah Nealman. Okay. She is like the queen of the trad wives. You know, this kind of... What's a trad wife? Oh, you'll love this. Oh, a traditional wife, a traditional wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Where they make their husband's food and everything like that. Yeah, it's basically like kind of a reaction to fourth wave feminism, allegedly, where fourth wave feminism, it was like, women can have it all you can work and have babies and blah blah blah and then the slow reality was we can't have it all
Starting point is 00:23:30 and even if you can have it all you don't want it all because we're only one person and we shouldn't have to do everything and it's all so this is kind of like you know the way everything kind of over corrects
Starting point is 00:23:38 everything's like on a pendulum so when something goes really far left then it goes really far right and it so this is like a response to that allegedly right so anyway they're all over the internet at the moment and they are
Starting point is 00:23:50 quite intoxicating to watch because they some of them are taking the piss but some of them are real and they're I don't know there's just a kind of a wholesomeness to it that does kind of lure you in but anyway Hannah Nealman she's the one who kind of started it she's American she has I was reading about her and she was in the time does kind of lure you in. But anyway, Hannah Nealman, she's the one who kind of started it. She's American.
Starting point is 00:24:06 She has, I was reading about her and she was in the time of the weekend. One, two, three, four, five, six,
Starting point is 00:24:13 seven, eight children. Oh God, no thanks. Her Insta handle is ballerina farm. She milks cows, gives birth without pain relief and breastfeeds at beauty pageants.
Starting point is 00:24:24 So the whole thing was like, is this an empowering new model of womanhood or a hammer blow to feminism personally I think it's womanhood like let her fucking do what she wants so I have to tell you this bit about the article though because I nearly I squealed in shock I was like
Starting point is 00:24:38 am I in shock am I in awe am I in fear what am I what are my feelings there's a lot to unpack here so she'd been crowned Miss America in August 2023 Am I in fear? What am I? What are my feelings? There's a lot to unpack here. So she'd been crowned Miss America in August 2023 and she was invited back to compete in Miss' world, right? So she was parading around the stage in a swimsuit and five inch heels, shoulders back,
Starting point is 00:24:58 hip popped, spray tanned, glistening, 12 days postpartum. Oh my God. I had known it was coming, she says. She's 34, lives in Utah.
Starting point is 00:25:09 So I had prepared. During the pregnancy it took brute strength, guts and bravery to make sure she would eventually look so perfectly pretty. She kept fit, weightlifting before her children woke up. That's something you would do. On the fifth day postpartum she looked at her husband and said, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this beauty pageant. On the seventh day she-pagina She looked at her husband And said I don't know if I'm going to be able To do this beauty pageant On the seventh day
Starting point is 00:25:26 She rose from her bed She did her bar exercises In the bathroom By day nine She was trying on outfits Zipping herself into A pair of leather trousers And skin tight white ball gown
Starting point is 00:25:37 Day ten Spray tan Day eleven A two hour flight With a newborn to Las Vegas Her husband And seven children Following behind
Starting point is 00:25:46 Oh god And by day 12 She was on stage And then it finishes going Luckily she says She had just stopped bleeding Okay well first of all I'm going to punch a hole
Starting point is 00:25:56 In loads of those stories That's bollocks You do not stop bleeding After 12 days There's absolutely no way you do This is the times She had a nappy on she was up on stage in a nappy there's no do you know what though i just feel like and i just like fair play to anyone
Starting point is 00:26:11 who wants to do it but like come on it's just it's so ridiculous like you shouldn't be working out after having a baby five days after having a baby your pelvic floor will fall out of your vagina you just can't do it. Sometimes you can work out earlier than other other babies. Like I've had different times when I've given birth that like I couldn't
Starting point is 00:26:31 for a month after Theodore but it was different for the other ones. But like I just think it's just it's just oh that girl. I just find that
Starting point is 00:26:38 really depressing. I've cracked her. I've cracked her Jo. She's gone. Yeah look. I just She can't handle the competition No
Starting point is 00:26:46 There's no competition For me About that No way Absolutely no way I did find it annoying That when people Used to say stuff about me
Starting point is 00:26:55 After having a baby And like I should Reserve judgment But that just seems That just seems Quite Excessive It is
Starting point is 00:27:02 I was just sweating You're sweating so bad In bed at night. And that's when you start crying and stuff. It's around then you get really hormonal. And then to be judged on a stage. And she's breastfeeding backstage. Does Donald Trump not hand out the prize
Starting point is 00:27:16 at things like that? She's Mrs. Or is he Miss Universe? She's Mrs. World. Donald Trump, I think he owns Miss Universe. He's Miss Universe, yeah. Yeah, but he wouldn't want a Mrs. He only wants the Miss. Ah yeah he doesn't want a Mrs.
Starting point is 00:27:30 But I like cards on the table full transparency. I could not prepare myself for a beauty pageant in 12 days now. Being pre-partum or whatever the fuck non-partum. I've no partum. Zero partum
Starting point is 00:27:46 And I could not be ready For a beauty pageant I suppose for a play tour And she's got She's got seven Other kids Oh that scares That scares
Starting point is 00:27:54 The apps I saw twins the other day And I was like Jesus I just I actually I felt frightened I felt like if I didn't get far away
Starting point is 00:28:01 From them I'd catch it And like if I ever had another baby It would be twins And I would just Yeah I love people who have away from them I'd catch it And like if I ever Had another baby It would be twins And I would just Yeah I love people who have twins I'm not slagging twins off
Starting point is 00:28:09 Fair play She's slagging twins Did everyone get that She's slagging twins I would find it so Difficult I don't think I'd cope Bless you Jo
Starting point is 00:28:25 he muted himself he muted himself he muted himself well done Jo that's proper Attica good fair play Hannah Nealman bar the raw dogging
Starting point is 00:28:39 of the giving birth I think her life sounds quite idyllic really she's just milking cows but it's the raw birth I wouldn't be up for
Starting point is 00:28:47 Everything else Did you not hear her say She has Eight children Her life is not idyllic Her life is Crazy Yeah but
Starting point is 00:28:56 Unless she has 15 nannies Like the Kardashians Have two nannies a kid If you have two nannies a kid Oh that's the way to go Might be idyllic That's the way to go That's the
Starting point is 00:29:04 Do you know what Fucking yes If I got That means Kim must have two nannies and kids, it might be idyllic. That's the way to go. Do you know what? Fucking yes. That means Kim must have eight nannies. This is no shade on Kim, because I'm obviously a huge Kim Kardashian fan. But if I discovered I was pregnant, I'd very quickly release a sex tape, get super duper duper wooper famous, shoot out the kid, hire two nannies per kid. That's my pregnancy plan. You don't need folic acid or anything Just a sex tape There you go
Starting point is 00:29:26 Don't mind the follics Forget about the Pregnancy tablets Don't eat them Just get yourself A sex tape Don't mind the follics Get fucked

Starting point is 00:30:52 We wrap it up. That is a busy old afternoon for you. I've just downloaded something that needs to be watched immediately. There's a new TikTok trend. You know how i'm into the tiktok now so there are and you'll love this joanne so tiktokers are basically getting their ex's voice notes so you know the way you all if you're breaking up with somebody you'll always end up with a dirty little oh yes yeah yeah and tiktokers are basically Singing songs With the voice note
Starting point is 00:31:27 Like so they're playing The voice note And they're singing the song Along with the voice note And making a song Out of a really like Shitty voice note That you've gotten off an ex
Starting point is 00:31:34 And I just think It's so funny Funny Do you know what is also Really funny on TikTok Have you seen They've remixed Gypsy Rose Blanchard's
Starting point is 00:31:43 Response to someone saying that her man wants to ride them? And she's like, oh honey I am so not threatened by you. My man wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole. Last time I checked, you don't have a man. So someone's remixed it and it is the catchiest tune you've ever heard and people are dancing to it.
Starting point is 00:32:00 You don't have a man. You don't have a man. Last time I checked, you don't have a man. It's hysterical. It's another little TikTok recommendation to checked you don't have a man it's hysterical it's another little TikTok recommendation to keep people oh god it's just desperate that we've just come to this
Starting point is 00:32:10 in our lives I love watching stuff like this but I love I just love like if you ever look the problem is I get in a rage
Starting point is 00:32:18 if I break up with somebody I get in a rage and I'll delete and block everything so I'll never see it again but like thinking back about some of the things like if I look
Starting point is 00:32:25 like I have some I obviously I actually do you have any ex blocked? I have some people blocked Do you know what? Yes Oh god
Starting point is 00:32:37 I do and now I can't find the old I have one yeah there's one that I don't think we blocked each other so everyone blocked everyone on so much stuff that I think even if we end up living in Mars,
Starting point is 00:32:48 we won't figure out how to ever contact each other again, even if we wanted to. Like, I can't, he can't unblock me because I blocked him. You know, it's one of those. There's a lot of blocking going on. Too much blocking. Like, it was ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:32:58 It was over the top blocking. I think you have to block, I'd even block emails if I could, but it's quite hard to block the email. I can block emails. I sent, I sent, I got even block emails If I could But it's quite hard To block the email I can block emails I sent I sent I got it
Starting point is 00:33:07 Because we blocked each other On everything And then And then Like it was like Voiced out Block block block And then I realised
Starting point is 00:33:13 He hadn't blocked I think to his work Something I remember So I emailed him To the work And then blocked him On all emails And then he unblocked me
Starting point is 00:33:22 And tried to ring me And blocked Yeah it was It was hysterical it was hysterical mania absolutely I love last word yeah and then I called yeah but it was all your fault
Starting point is 00:33:33 I called in a tech specialist and I was like block him on absolutely everything and board up the windows while you're at it now I haven't done this in a long time but Spenny and I have like it doesn't even need to be a big fight it could just be something that has really annoyed me and I'm like I'm going to block him now
Starting point is 00:33:48 but then I'm like but now he won't even know that I've blocked him how will he know that I've blocked him how do they know well he won't see my picture that's how he'll know blocking your husband is I mean I love it when he sees me in my house I'm not going to even look in his direction you're emotionally blocked I can't physically block you because we're trying to raise kids.
Starting point is 00:34:05 But trust me, emotionally, you are blocked. I don't even see you. You're bloody see-through to me. There's something very kind of freeing about blockings. There is something, and I think it's quite a cruel thing to do, you know, but sometimes it's just the only thing to do. Sometimes it's very necessary
Starting point is 00:34:22 if people are like really going at you. I'm like, you know what? I actually before because I'm really good in an argument like it will take me a long time to lose my shit. And if somebody keeps
Starting point is 00:34:32 at me and at me and at me eventually I'll explode and my explosion is a lot worse than their explosions would have been. So I'm better off just removing myself
Starting point is 00:34:41 because I've got quite the temper. Yeah. And it's a like a honey badger When you're pushed Honey Honey badger Are they notoriously
Starting point is 00:34:49 Are they notoriously They are They are like One of the most vicious Are they The most Oh I have a quiz Actually I have a quiz for you

Now the answer is not honey badger and you're not going to get it right. Don't put your hands where I can see them Jo because I don't trust you. I can see

A zebra has like something like a 3,000 pound kick. A giraffe then has like a 2,000 pound kick. And then I was Googling, sorry, this is because of Theodore,
Starting point is 00:35:57 I was Googling pictures of zebras kicking each other and they literally break the jaws off each other. They boot each other, yeah. I never would have thought maybe because they're so interesting looking they need to people are very drawn to them they're basically the closest
Starting point is 00:36:10 thing we have to a unicorn really there are so many of them in Africa when you go on safari there's so many and I'm like what if one just died
Starting point is 00:36:17 of natural causes like can you wear their coats then or no no I mean this is like my this is like my philosophical question
Starting point is 00:36:26 about would a horse rather get eaten or ridden? That's kind of where you're going. I don't know. I don't know. I really don't know what the answer is.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Is it a sign of respect? Look at it this way, Vogue. If and when you pass away and I'm not saying you will. You can wear my skin. How would you feel about someone wearing you? Well,
Starting point is 00:36:42 someone is going to be wearing me because I'm going to have to give my organs away because if you don't, it'll be frowned upon and then no one will go to your funeral. They'll say, that bitch wouldn't share her organs. She doesn't even need them where she's going.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So I'll be sharing my organs. So I'll be going around and living my life. Sharing them or donating. Well, what I will say is if you die soon and before me, which you probably will, I will be wearing your skin as a suit to events and being paid to turn up and get photographed.
Starting point is 00:37:09 You can also have my liver. And they'll be on the Daily Mail. They'll be like, folks not looking great now. She is looking a little bit different. A little bit waxy. Yeah, a little bit waxy. Joanne, you'd miss me so much. It'd be like that man that you told us about

Carl Waxy's face, he dragged her under the mausoleum. Yeah, you're just going to start putting like wax all over my body and just dancing around the room.

Starting point is 00:38:24 I would say over two years as well and that does matter because that's why that's how I'm going to get out of this from an accountability perspective and I'd said it
Starting point is 00:38:32 to her a few times she goes no no no no no definitely gave you that top back and because I had done a similar thing with sunglasses
Starting point is 00:38:39 where I thought Joanne had my sunglasses she ended up buying a new pair then I found the sunglasses basically yeah she'd accused me of losing her sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:38:47 It transpired. I didn't lose them. She'd left them up in Africa. So I'd ruined it for myself. Even though I know Joanne loses stuff. Like, Jo, how often does she leave stuff in studio? Like, she leaves stuff everywhere. And I knew, I knew she'd lost that fantastic top.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Couldn't get my hands on it again. I kept looking up, like Like eBay and stuff like that Trying to find the top Top was gone Dead Got a text last night Picture of the top I'm
