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
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
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
big news
huge news
go on Cher
if you didn't share
every detail
on social media
I might be surprised
big
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Thank you, thank you.
I don't like you was I don't like
You
I don't like her
She's scaring me
Okay fine
I prefer the old me too
So
Sven and I were going
On these runs together
Doesn't matter about my announcement
Doesn't matter
Yeah
I just don't know
How I'll get back to this
If I don't finish the story
I know
It turns out I have three weeks to live
But it doesn't matter
Go on
Go on
Tell us about the running
Okay I'm really sorry to hear that
Tell us about the running
Yeah you're right
You're right
So anyway
You're running along
Yeah
So we've been going running
I've been going running with Sven
And I've been doing a great job
Running up and down the hills
And going for like
45 minute runs
Now they are his recovery runs
And he left
And he asked today
Do you ever go running
Because I know you're running again
Yes
And you just
Can't do it
Yes You couldn't do it yeah
and I was like I think it's my legs are a bit heavy now I've been training too much maybe that's
it you try and convince yourself of all the reasons that you just can't do it I said to walk
in the end that's my big news so tell me yours well like I said um three weeks to live uh things
aren't great but let's go back to Maybe you're You know Maybe Spencer was like
Your kind of
Your cheerleader
Your pep gal
Who kind of kept you going
I think running
Yeah running with somebody
Is
It makes such a
Unless you're running with Joanne
Who
Will take her headphones
Out with her
Joanne
It's like running with a ghost
She won't
Engage in conversation
Who the fuck chats
Like sorry now
Me
I'm not at the marathon stage
I need
Whale
Techno
To keep going
I need
If
If Prodigy can't scream
And smack my bitch up at me
I'm not going
Anywhere
Do you know what I mean
These
Freaks
That's Joanne's life mantra anyway If you don't start screaming And smack my bitch up I'm not going anywhere do you know what I mean these are freaks that's Joanne's life mantra anyway
if you don't start
screaming
smack my bitch up
I'm not leaving this flat
well you know I want to go
you know I want
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
am off the booze
now
I'm showing my hand
by making this as big
an announcement
as I am
yeah
I'm probably
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
A bit of Pilates
Do you?
I love
Yeah
You want to see my Pilates instructor
This guy
We have him on our app
But like
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
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
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
in the Paris Olympics
in the gymnastics
let's be honest
last week you would have been
snoozing on the bed
come on
this week now
this week without the booze you're not snoozing on the bed Come on This week Without the booze
You're not snoozing on the bed
I just wish I'd done this all earlier
And I could be in Paris now
About to
Fucking
Propel myself
Off one of those floors
Oh you'd be doing
Oh no
You'd be back to ribboning
You'd be great at that
I'd be doing the horse
The horse ribboning
The thing where they flip around
The bars
You'd be doing all of it
Actually you're so fucking right
I forgot
No stop
You'd be doing that dance You know where they start like this Yeah You'd be doing all of it actually you're so fucking right I forgot no stop you'd be doing that dance
you know where they start like this
yeah
you know that dance
it's the
that's
I loved
I used to do that on the beach
as a kid for
so obviously this isn't
a visual platform
so I'm just going to explain
what Vogue is doing
she's kind of
she's kind of
powering her arms up
like Simone Biles
you know when they start
you're like oh god
and then they kind of
no one knows
what I'm doing I'm
being an Olympian
this it looks exactly
the same as them
I'm just trying to
um get some context
for what you on a
on a podcast going
look yeah look at
me here look I
wish we'd done
gymnastics now I'm
not even joking I
wish I'd stuck to it
I think I would
know actually too
large well no do
you know what you
wouldn't have grown
to what you are
because it does from what I'm from what I know it actually shrinks your body it can actually
kind of stunt your growth and a lot of girls that I know who did gymnastics didn't get their period
for for years after the rest of us so you could have been a petite five foot three had you bothered
doing gymnastics you've sandra to blame that I've ruined my whole life by not doing gymnastics you've signed her to blame I've ruined my whole life
by not doing gymnastics
not only am I not
in the Olympics
and now I'm not
I'm not at the height
that I would have loved
to have been
I just grew into
a giant fucking tree
you could have done
shot put
it'd be like you
holding a golf ball
I'd be like Miss Crunchball
just out on the field
yeah
there's actually an Irish
there's an Irish
so the Olympics
has a record number of Irish in it this year.
We have a gymnast,
we have an Irish gymnast
in the Paris Olympics.
Rhys McLennigan,
I think is the name.
Rhys McLennigan.
Rhys McLennigan.
So good luck to him.
I'll be watching.
I will be watching.
I'll be watching.
I hope there's some ribboning involved.
Indeed.
We just sounded really aggressive there.
I'll be watching.
I'll be watching.
I'll be watching.
We'll be watching kindly,
not aggressively.
Joanne!
What?
McNally.
What?
Someone sent me something of yours
yesterday.
Oh God, go on.
After the last time
with your man in Greece,
it's probably a used condom or something, isn't it?
Someone stole from my bin.
She was like, have you seen this thing that Joanne is following?
And I was like, that can't be real.
And I went into it.
Oh Jesus.
You are following Ohio inmates Pen pals
What
Of course I am
It's a dating site
I went on
And I looked at it
And it's like
It says what age they are
It says what their crime is
They chat about themselves
And then you can apply
To be their pen pal
How many
How many pen pal inmates
Do you have
Well I haven't I haven't sent
any of the letters yet
because you know
I'm not great with post.
Going to the post office
is the worst job.
It's the worst job.
It's a pain in the hell.
But this,
so these prisons in America,
they have these,
well, I personally,
I think very sexy inmates
who are looking.
They aren't bad looking now.
They're looking to meet someone,
you know.
It's kind of
neck tattoo soup over there
they've got love
hiding their knuckles
it's all very sexy
but they ring
so they do
they kind of sell themselves
on the phone
through that kind of
glass partition
have you any
well it just adds
it just
it just adds to the
to the enduro of it
but like
Idaho
sorry not Ohio
Idaho
yes inmate pen pal
so he is called
Michael Edward
oh yeah Michael Edward
he's not the best looking
but he's got a lovely personality
he's only done three murders
and no
he actually
there's no murders for him
it's controlled
substance possession
so I brought him
straight to you
Jesus
that's practically
white collar
there is
there's this fella now
age 24
battery aggravated
not great
we might stay away from him
oh no I wouldn't be
into anyone
look at that bod
look at it
look at that bod
oh god
wow the face just came
that's very
oh my god
look at him really
going for it
I need to add a show

So this fella
Where is this?
Grand Theft Auto
Embezzlement
Extortion
Or receiving stolen goods
Oh well this
Grand Theft Auto
Is hot now
Sorry
I'm going to add a show
In Idaho
Is that where I'm going?
Is it Idaho?
Yeah Idaho
Grand Theft Auto
But there's also extortion
Receiving stolen goods
Yeah that's fine
There's a lot of bits in there
He's not going to be out
for a while
so you'll be waiting
a while for him
that's okay
I'm in no rush
do you know what I mean
I'll freeze my eggs
this is bizarre
I want to do a thing
next week right
where we have to find
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
imagine like
being like
out of something
fucking awful now
it's like when you see
politicians
and they're liking
all these like
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
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
Well you did that too
Twice
Did you
Yeah
But I have been on
Death Row loads of times
So remember
You have
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
She has,
I was reading about her and she was in the time of the weekend.
One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
Day ten
Spray tan
Day eleven
A two hour flight
With a newborn to Las Vegas
Her husband
And seven children
Following behind
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
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
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
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
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
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
After having a baby
And like I should
Reserve judgment
But that just seems
That just seems
Quite
Excessive
It is
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Everything else
Did you not hear her say
She has
Eight children
Her life is not idyllic
Her life is
Crazy
Yeah but
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
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
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
Not follicked
That's how you get
Two nannies
Per child
Important work
I do hear there's a
There's a very large market
For pregnancy porn
I was just about to ask you Is there a large market For pregnancy porn Well I don't know If there's a there's a very large market for uh pregnancy porn i was just about to ask you is
there a large market for pregnancy porn well i don't know if there's a large market i just i know
that there's pregnancy porn i have not watched pregnancy porn i would just like to point out
but someone told me that there is pregnancy porn no there is definitely pregnancy porn i'm telling
you oh i completely believe you i've no doubt there's pregnancy porn let me have a look imagine
you're the baby in your mom's tummy and and you're just getting pummeled out of it
by some randomers the whole time.
Like, how strange.
You'd have an odd shaped head, wouldn't you, Jo?
Very odd.
Could be a little dent in the middle of your head.
Here we go, eight months.
Eight months, like rough, midday.
Right, yeah.
Oh, God.
Here we go.
We know what Joanne's doing for the rest of the day.
Don't need the volume up on that, thank you. Here we go. Oh my what Joanne's doing for the rest of the day. Don't need the volume up on that.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Oh my God, are you watching it?
Yeah.
Is the lack of sex
making you sad and horny?
Yes.
Relax, we'll handle everything.
All right.
We don't need to hear that.
Hold on, we're skipping the ad.
Okay.
This is kind of slow to start.
Oh no, that's gross, gross.
Okay, yeah, no,
it's definitely a thing.
Yeah, okay, great.
Good to know.
Good to know. Anyway. That is your ad. You said you, you know, it's definitely a thing. Yeah. Okay. Great. Good to know. Good to know.
Anyway, that is your, you said you, you know, you said you had a lot of time on your hands.
Not anymore.
I know.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
Because we blocked each other
On everything
And then
And then
Like it was like
Voiced out
Block block block
And then I realised
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
How do they get such a
How do they get such a
Huge association
With honey
I'd love to be called
Honey badger
They are
If you ever come across a honey badger
run as fast as you can. They are
so vicious. Yeah, they're the worst.
Now I have a one question quiz because we're talking about
animals. Is the answer honey badger?
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
her hands. Okay. What animal
put your hand up
what animal
has the strongest kick
in the world
kangaroo
wrong
horse
wrong
cow
no
donkey
no
is it a four-legged animal
four-legged animal
yeah
elephant
no
turtle
no
a turtle
okay I'm joking
I'm joking
zebra
yes
oh isn't that shocking yeah a zebra has like Turtle. I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. Zebra. Yes. Oh!
And isn't that shocking?
Yeah.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
that saved that woman's body and dug her up
and then like just used to dance around the room with her.
That's what you're going to do with me.
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.
You'll be taking me for a walk through Battersea Park.
I'll be setting you up behind your dax and be like play the
old tunes folk come on
go on your favourite one do it again
um
Joanne sent me a picture last night
do you want to tell the story of the picture you sent me last night
I can't remember what I sent you what did I send you I sent you loads
of shit so
Joanne sent me a picture I
Joanne and I share clothes a lot and we lend each other stuff all the time and Joanne sent me a picture I Joanne and I share clothes a lot
and we lend each other
stuff all the time
and Joanne wore this
absolutely
gorgeous top
that I got
from H&M studio
years ago
she wore it on the
Late Late Show
and after she stopped
wearing it
I was like
oh my god
can I get that top back
I really want it
sorry can we just
give the timing on this
it was maybe
two years ago
over
I would say over
two years
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
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
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.
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.
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
I'm
Obviously running again
Just trying to live my life
And
My friend Nikki
Sends me a photo with the top
She goes hey you left us here
A while back
And my heart
Fucking sank
But also I was so thrilled And I said Nikki And she goes hey you left this here a while back and my heart fucking sank but also I was so thrilled
and I said
Nikki
and she goes
do you know what she said
she goes oh god
did I not tell you
after the late late
you left it here
I said that was two years ago
would you not have reminded me
it was there
and do you know what she said
to me then folk
she goes
I assume you didn't want it
I was about to give it
to the charity shop
the charity shop
the charity shop
H&M Studio.
Are you out?
How would she not even
want that for herself?
So she wasn't even
stealing it.
I blame Nicky.
I honestly,
she's moved house.
How she didn't tell me
that top was there,
I don't know.
Anyway, I blame Nicky.
But to make this okay,
what I'm,
Nicky has posted to Vogue now,
what I'd like to do
is give Vogue
everything valuable
in my life
and just wait
until she loses something. I'm going to give you my father's wedding ring. I'd like to do is give Vogue everything valuable in my life and just wait until she loses something
I'm going to give you
my father's wedding ring
I'm going to give you
the stuff I got
as a present
for my christening
all those like
baby bracelets
and everything
all that shite
like you have
any of that stuff
I do
my mum has it all
yeah your mum has it all
that's the only reason
it still exists
I said to Joanne
I was like
can you imagine
like I feel sad
for all the stuff
that you have lost in hotel rooms like all amazing stuff just strewn around everywhere I've never
known anything like it I've also had lads keep clothes of mine that I am like I know that's in
your house and they've denied us which I found very strange anyway um I apologize and look do
you know what the top is back in our life and that's the main thing Well it will not be back
In your life again
Well
I was only thinking
That's fair
Did you borrow that
Double yellow two piece
That you wanted to borrow
I'm having second thoughts
About landing that bad boy
No no no
I couldn't do that
Panic show in the end
I had to work
I apologise
Look from now on
I need to sign things out
And sign things back in
We need to treat it
That's how we need to
Treat this system
I think yeah
I think that we need to have
a system in place now
because you can't be trusted.
It's not that you're
an untrustworthy person.
You're just chaotic
with clothes and items.
I lose things.
It's my thing
okay
it's like a skill
okay
I can lose people
places
things
fucking
opinions
everything
before we go
I'd like to do
a quick shout out
for the Edinburgh Fringe
are you doing the Edinburgh Fringe?
so I'm doing one week
I'm doing the last week
as a work in progress
so it's like
so I'm not really doing it
but those tickets are gone
but I wanted to do
a little shout out
for
some of the people
I know
some of my favourite comedians
who are doing the whole run
so Geroad Farrelly
is doing the whole run
Geroad Rage
is the name of the show
nice little pun there
yeah very good
I think he's on about
20 past 7
so take a look for him
I've seen the new show
it's fucking hilarious
Grace Mulvey
another Irish comic
is up there for the month
she is hilarious as well
she opened for a couple
of my Vicar Street
she's fantastic
I might go to the Fringe
this year
really
I think I might try and do a couple of days up there I might go to the Fringe this year. Really? I think I might try
and do a couple of days up there.
If you're going to...
I'd love to go and see those shows.
I'll go see Grode anyway,
to be fair,
but like I'd like to see him in Edinburgh.
Yeah, you can see him in Edinburgh.
But I would say
if you're going to go to Edinburgh
and you can take the time off,
go up on like Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday.
Do not go up at the weekend.
The weekends are bedlam.
Go midweek.
A lot of the tickets,
a lot of the shows
are actually on sale
on a Monday and a Tuesday
because it's kind of quieter.
But yeah,
it's honestly the best crack
and I can say that now
because in fairness,
I'm not doing the whole month
with the new show.
So I'm in a position to be like,
it's such a good crack.
But it is great crack
and you see some,
Grace Campbell,
she has a show up there
she is
I'm obsessed with her
I think she's going to be
absolutely huge
I mean she kind of already is
and I'm going to keep
the recommendations coming
Aidan Green
is another Irish comic
who's amazing
he's got a show up there
I'm going to have a little look
and see who else is going up
I was reading this
in the paper at the weekend
because it costs so much money
for people going up
like punters
it costs so much money
it's the accommodation absolutely kills you but for the comics as well because it's hard much money for people going up like punters it costs so much money it's the accommodation
absolutely kills you
but for the comics as
well because it's hard
to make money up
there there was a
comic who joined
medical trials he's
like how I
deliberately caught
malaria to fund my
show at the
Edinburgh Fringe
isn't that fucking
terrible
John Tottle
comedian
malaria for the
arts
that's how committed these people are For the arts That's how committed
These people are
For the arts
That's how committed
These people are
Support them
Go and see their shows
I can't wait
And I'm going up early as well
For a couple of days
To take it on
When are you going up
I'm just going to go up
When you're going up
And see your show
Mine is a work in progress
It's going to be
Like the ramblings
Of a mad woman
Do you know what I mean
Well that is what this podcast is
so I thoroughly look forward to it
god that's such a good point
good point well made
that's all we do
I'm like no don't

like that's not my actual
full time gig
