Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Boag Williams and Siobhan McNally.
It's the podcast that works on the basis of shouting your problems from the top of a mountain
and hoping that somehow it makes you feel better.
On this week's episode, mummy MOTs, shocking cheap date memories and some questionable
relationship advice. I don't think it's questionable.
Well, we haven't given it yet.
Okay.
So, I mean, it probably is going to be quite questionable
considering we both have an awful history with men.
Wherever you look these days,
it's a ton of advice about how to better yourself
from people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Yeah, totally.
The wellness industry is worth millions.
So Joanne and I are going to have a go at seeing
if we can help to solve your problems.
So, okay, so I put a little call out on my Insta
for questions that people would like us to address.
I mean, answer is probably a stretch.
So I did a little shout out on Insta
and I was like, girls, what can we help you with?
Me and Vogue will kind of address some issues for you.
So this one came in she's like hi
I'm 33
I've met my boyfriend
for five years
and I'm mad about him
he's really low key
and I mentioned recently
I'd love to get a bit of work done
Botox etc
but he says
he really doesn't want me to
he doesn't want me
looking like a cat
should I respect his wishes
well first of all
you're not going to look like a cat
this is what I said
you're not going to look like a cat. It's not your first
go. You will eventually look like a cat, but we'll all
look like cats at that stage, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Cats are good looking. Cats are gorgeous.
They are gorgeous. I don't have Botox
at the moment, but I will certainly be delving into that pool.
You can be sure of that. Oh yeah, I'll be going
full force into a bag of syringes.
Do you know that
lead thing that you used to put your hand in and all the
needles? Oh yes, yes. I'll be putting my face do you know that do you know that lead thing that you used to put your hand in and all the needles you kind of
oh yes yes
I'd be putting my
like that
I'd put my face into that
oh my god
so I've got another thing
for us to try out
it's called Morpheus
it's meant to be
one of the most painful
things ever
but
on the plus side
your whole skin tightens
and you look like
like a cat
yeah that's what I want
I said it the other day
I was like
when this lockdown lifts
I'm going to go in
and get a facial so vicious,
I mightn't make it.
I mightn't make it.
I might die on the table.
That's what I want.
Supposedly this one is so bad
that you mightn't be able
to finish it,
but you have to finish it
once you go in.
I'm going to let you go first
and then I'll go.
Oh my God, are you saying
I'm going to have to tap out
of a facial if it's too much
like a tattoo?
But imagine how good
that's going to be.
Oh my God, sign me up.
Yes. Sign me and my, sign me up. Yes.
Sign me and my hideous face
up for everything.
So what about it?
Would you get Botox
then if you're her?
Tell her.
Sorry, this girl's probably
looking for something
more substantial
like beauty comes
from the inside out.
I say get the fucking Botox.
You're 33.
You're 33.
Hit it up.
You don't have a lot of time.
It's time.
Also, it's preventative.
You should have been
starting it at 25.
Yeah, I'm'm gonna hit that
oh my god i have to tell you so somebody that we're friends with i saw on insta and i was like
a boy and i was like they've got a black eye and then i remembered somebody else i knew who had a
black eye from filler and then i asked hey what happened to your eye they tried to lie to me and
i was like you got filler didn't you and i like, you got filler, didn't you? And I found out he got filler.
Yeah, yeah. So even the lancet ran,
filler under the eyes.
At least you're not getting filler.
You're only putting a bit of botulum.
You're only putting a bit of...
It's only a bit of poison in the face.
Yeah.
What's the big deal?
No, what I would say though is,
and this is the thing, right?
Just don't tell them what you're doing.
They'll never know.
I was living with this girl.
Again, we won't say her name
because women are still flat out
pretending we don't get Botox, even though
none of my friends' faces have moved
in like six years, but we're all denying it. Grant!
I always think the test is,
can you do the cat face
emoji or the bunny emoji on Instagram to raise
your eyebrows to get the ears up? Oh, yeah,
I can. I'm going to do it right now.
Yeah, but you won't be able to do it next week.
Two weeks, I'd say.
Two weeks.
That's what you need to say
to stop women getting
cheap Botox in other countries
and come back into the country.
Make them try and do
that rabbit emoji in customs.
So I lived with this girl anyway.
I came in one day
and I was like,
you look fucking unreal.
What's going on?
She's like, nothing, nothing.
I just knew cleanser.
And she's like,
you're just glowing
of course
once you skip a few
she eventually admitted
she'd had Botox
but I didn't
I couldn't tell
I just knew
she looked amazing
what's the other side then
okay
love yourself
love yourself from within
and don't get Botox
but I
I'm a big believer in
like
lie to your boyfriend
get it done
and you'll probably be
maybe he doesn't want you
to be too hot for him maybe he's threatened you'll just look fresh he'll say oh my god did you have a good night's sleep it done and you'll probably be maybe he doesn't want you to be too hot for him
maybe he's threatened
you'll just look fresh
he'll say
oh my god
did you have a good night's sleep
last night
and you'll say
no
yes actually yes
say yes at that point
lie to your boyfriend
get the work done
yeah
that's all from me and Vogue
or don't
what are we going to get done
the Vicarious
oh so this thing is called
Morpheus 8
and it's like
so it's this square thing
it's got maybe 16 needles on it.
And it literally goes,
at one part of your face.
And there's probably a thousand of them.
It happens to your face like a thousand times.
But.
Amazing.
So I think we should go.
We should probably take,
we'll get numbing cream for our face.
And then Jo, you won't even recognise us
the next time we come in.
I'd like to be knocked.
I want a facial that needs a general anaesthetic.
Okay, well, you can get a facelift in a few years.
Ah! I want a facial that needs a general anaesthetic okay well you can get a facelift in a few years I want a facelift
so high
I have eyes
in the back of my head
and I have to wear
sunglasses on the front
and on the back
your face looks unreal
whatever you're doing babe
you look great
wait till I have
the viserious
morpheus
whatever
so I kept obviously meeting people Whatever.
So I kept obviously meeting people
sometimes getting married
and always breaking up.
I know.
If you separate from Spano
and get married
you'd be three times married.
I haven't been married once.
Oh yeah.
That's what Spani says.
That's like his threat.
He was like
if you ever divorce me
and try and get married again
that's really embarrassing.
That's the third time.
Have you heard of this thing called, what's your love language?
No.
Yeah.
Oh my God, it's such a, it's a thing.
Go on, tell me.
Everyone has a different love language, right?
Someone asked me recently, what's your love language?
I don't fucking know.
Someone asked you that?
Yeah, I was like, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't really, I don't really speak love language.
What's that meant to mean?
So basically some people, they're of service.
Some people, their love language is that they like giving to mean? So basically some people they're of service. Some people their love language
that they like giving things
and being of service to someone.
Someone else's love language
is feeling supported.
Like there's
everyone has a love language
and you need to meet the person
that matches your love.
It's like gay men
trying to meet
match a top or a bottom.
I love defunct men.
Like I
a limp club foot.
I like flaws
but like not
you like emotional flaws.
I like emotional flaws
but I need it to be so obvious
I need it to be a physical flaw
so I know
what I'm getting into
but everyone has their flaws
I like scars
I love scars
my last boyfriend
had Satan tattooed
on his chest
I mean if that's not a red flag
I really don't know what is
what?
I went out with a guy
and he had
he had
it's just gross
he had tattoos
that were merging
onto his face.
And then he had, honestly, the worst chest tattoo I've ever seen in my life.
And then he once sent me a picture of his woolly wonk.
And I'm not a sender of news.
Like, how would you take a vagina picture?
Sorry, there's no, unless you're like front on and you just see the little cute face at the front.
I'm not going under
and in there
that's rotten
well no
that's what you send
to your gynecologist
I don't think they're looking
for like an in-depth picture
of your labia
sorry what face
what face
what do you mean
what do you mean
your vagina has a face
the little line up the front
is like facey
I always thought it looked
like a purse
anyway
do's look like a purse
yeah I always used to do it
in Stanford
like why won't they
put money in it?
Tight bastards.
Speaking of tight bastards.
Oh, yes.
Yes, Joanne.
See what she did there?
That wasn't even planned.
No.
So, cheap dates, right?
This boyfriend created,
oh, it's just so awful.
He created a spreadsheet, right?
I'm going to tell you
what happened.
He, his girlfriend,
he wanted to know how much his girlfriend owed him for a romantic weekend away, right?
This is what the girlfriend posted.
We've been dating a few months exclusively together for three weeks and this is our first weekend away together.
We're just going to a nearby town, one hour travel time, staying in an Airbnb and visiting one tourist attraction.
Not an extravagant trip by any means. At the end of the weekend,
he sent me a message
explaining how he'd broken down
the cost of the weekend
so he could book the Airbnb transport tickets
and tickets to the tourist attraction.
He'd attached a spreadsheet
with our names on it,
literally breaking down the cost
of everything to the cent
with the final add-up of everything
telling me I owed him £122.54p.
I mean, I'm all about paying my way.
But like... I'm not.
I hate paying
my way. It's like the worst part of feminism.
I feel like I just fought for the right to go Dutch
and it really pisses me off.
I don't find paying
for shit empowering. Do you?
Do you like paying for shit? To be fair,
I make... Spenny picks up
most of the bills now
but like I think,
I don't know,
it depends how it's done,
right?
So if you invite someone
out for dinner,
you have to pay for them
because you're like,
you come for dinner
or like if you and I
went out for dinner,
we'd go Dutch
or one of us would pick it up
and then the other one
would get the next one
but imagine this,
a guy that like,
he's trying to impress you,
he's taking away
on a romantic weekend
only to throw
an Excel spreadsheet at you.
Isn't it so funny?
Like, that's not the first time
I've heard of a woman
being handed a receipt
of like,
costs accrued
in a relationship.
But I find that
always with women
that it's very telling
that a turn off for a woman
is being made pay for shit
and a turn off for a man
is being assumed
he'll pay for shit.
I was on a date
with a lad once.
I think I scored him anyway.
But,
I think I pretty much,
I know I did.
I was being coy there.
A few drinks in,
a few drinks in.
A few drinks in.
And I was like,
here,
watch it.
Like,
I went to the bar.
Like,
we were at the bar.
He wasn't saying anything.
So I was like,
what'll you have?
And he was like,
oh no,
no,
no,
I'll get my own,
I'll get my own drinks.
I was like,
oh here,
come on now.
Like, we're adults. Oh no, and you're on a date. We're on a date on a date I was like what you want oh I know this story go on and of course then he said a wine which meant I was like you know me I like a man
who drinks bricks yeah and like cement I don't like a man who drinks wine although I have evolved
now but it used to just Jesus Joanne is very picky yeah well it's just it was just more of a kind of
inherent sexism I had,
which I've now rid myself of
because I'm woke.
But I would never use
to touch a ladder drank
as Salvin Young.
You're definitely not woke.
You're the opposite of woke.
What do you mean the opposite?
I'm very woke.
I don't know if you're very,
you know,
I don't think it's a good thing
to be very woke.
You can be too woke.
I think you can be too woke.
Oh, yeah.
You can be woke to the point
where you're just paralyzed,
you know,
in your... Everything is an issue.
Everything is wrong.
You shouldn't...
Like, there's even now,
like, I'm like,
I can't put that up even on Instagram
because the woke people
will come after you.
And they do.
And this whole bullshit
of trying to cancel people
all the time
pisses me off as well.
It's like...
This conversation makes me very nervous.
I'm like...
Yeah, Joanne.
Okay.
I'm being pulled back.
Okay, go on anyway. He had a whine. He had a whine. How many'm being pulled back okay go on anyway
he had a wine
he had a wine
we've both been pulled back
yeah I'm the one
who's meant to listen to the pod
and say Joanne said this
get it out
get it out
so he
he orders wine
and then he
he took out this like
crumpled fiver
out of his pocket
and passed it to me
he's like oh look
I pay for my own drinks
oh god
I know
I know oh no! I know.
Oh no!
But so,
whenever I hear
bad date stories,
it's always down to
either impotency
or money.
But although
sometimes that's nerves,
I find it's always
very alarming.
If you ask them
and they say
this never usually happens,
it means it kind of
happens sometimes.
You're like,
okay, look,
it's a bit like Russian roulette now. You don't know what you're going to get. But if you ask
them, do you suffer with impotency? Does this happen often? And if they go, yeah, it does
actually. It happens a bit. What do they call that thing? A splint. A splint or Viagra. Get a splint
on the willy. Here we go. Talk about willies again. And we're going to talk about fannies soon. But
anyway, I don't really know anything really bad. I remember I was in a relationship and that kind
of happened towards the end. And like that was really the end of that relationship.
Yeah, but it's probably, no offense to you,
but it's also probably,
towards the end of a relationship,
sex goes because they're easy to shag on someone else.
From my experience.
And that is the truth.
Like, let's not pretend that's not the truth.
We're talking about cheapness,
but do you know what?
Cheapness amongst friends is really bad as well.
Like, I have some cheap friends.
Yeah.
I remember one of my mates was actually borrowing my car.
I'm actually, the person I'm talking about has asked me not to speak about them on either of my pods anymore.
This is probably why.
It was borrowing my car.
My car, right?
And I came home and I was like, I took my car back
and I was driving into town
and I was like,
oh God,
the parking meter
is on her account.
And I was like,
here, will you pay
for an hour and a half parking?
I think it was like €3.20.
€3.20.
Asked me for the €3.20 back.
I said,
that's bad.
I know.
But people just,
like,
it's like inherently
it's in them.
Yeah.
You can't stop it.
Yeah. I find with stop it. Yeah.
I find with men, I went out with, the richer they are sometimes, the tighter they are.
So I went out with a lad once whose dad is like one of the richest men in Ireland, right?
Which is, he was the only boy from my mother was ever concerned about me breaking up with.
So like I'd ring her and she'd miss the call and she'd ring back and she'd be like,
is everything okay with ****?
Because he was loud and she obviously didn't think I'd amount to anything she'd be like, is everything okay with ****? Because he was loaded
and she obviously didn't think
I'd amount to anything.
She was like,
I have to just kind of
put her on this lad.
But he was the one,
he was driving around
in some sort of Maserati machine thing,
flying around town.
Wouldn't put his hand
in his fucking pocket.
No.
I bought everything.
Coffees, blah, blah, blah.
Like dinner.
He would buy dinner,
but like we never really went for dinner.
It was like he was assuming
I was going to take the piss out of him.
Also, he'd park, I'd be like, where did you park?
And he'd be like, oh, I parked in feckin' Kildare
because it was euro cheaper than it was to park.
Like unbelievable tightness.
I just, but like from someone who has loads of money as well,
it is weird, but I suppose that's why rich people are rich.
Exactly.
Mind the pennies and the pounds will mind themselves.
I know, but what a horrible way
to live. And I don't mind if people can't afford
it. But you know,
I'm mouthing another friend. We've got a lot
of scabby friends.
Like, she will go
and everyone will be doing a round.
It's like so far and it's so long ago. We'll be doing
a round in a pub. And she'll go in on
the round and get everyone to do buy drinks,
buy drinks, and then she'll disappear from the round when it's her turn to buy drinks she will at all costs avoid doing
her round but she'll take drinks off everyone else and i think that that's really scabby if you've
got no cash just say oh listen i'm gonna stay out of this round so just don't be a scab but how do
you let her away with that one of my mates gets away with loads one of my mates she was going she
went she was seeing this guy and they were seeing each other still They're still kind of arsing each other on and off.
It's all very...
What's arsing each other?
They still kind of are seeing each other.
Oh, I thought you said arsing.
I was like, Jesus, I'm old.
I don't know what arsing is.
Use your imagination, Vogue.
John, you're definitely into arsing.
Only when I think they're trying to leave me.
Then I whip it out as my A card.
I'm like, I love A and I'll come back.
So anyway, she was seeing this guy
and they're still kind of seeing each other
and she won't mind me saying this.
It is a toxic, it is Chernobyl level toxic.
Anyway.
Oh no.
I know, but all the signs are there.
Their first date, they met in a pub for a pint
and he brought in his own nagging.
Oh God.
A grown man.
And he was like, just get me a Diet Coke.
Oh no.
I was pouring it in. And I was like, just get me a Diet Coke. Oh, no. And I was pouring it in.
And I was like,
let's call her Rachel.
I was like, Rachel,
was that not your first sign?
Says me.
Like, I mean,
I've walked into
like ridiculously obvious.
I used to sneak vodka in bars.
Do you remember?
Do you remember back in the day
when I was like 18?
Yeah, when I was 11.
No, 18.
I still did.
I probably still did it
when I was 20.
It was so obvious as well.
You'd be absolutely locked and then you'd be like, I was 20 it was so obvious as well you'd be absolutely locked
and then you'd be like
I'll just have a
I'll just have a soda lime
and then you'd be like
filling it up
but like do you not think
on your first day
like yeah
whatever made some lad
go in here
pay your way
do you know what I did
notice though
and this is why I think
I'm actually kind of like
a sex worker
on some level
if I go for dinner
with a lad
and I know I'm gonna
sleep with them
and he goes I'll pay I'll be like yeah cool but if I go for dinner with a lad and I know I'm going to sleep with him and he goes, I'll pay.
I'll be like, yeah, cool.
But if I go for dinner with a lad
and I know I'm not going to sleep with him
and he goes, I'll pay.
I'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'll insist on paying my way.
So I guess then if you break it down,
the guy who's paying for dinner
is paying me for sex.
I think he can offer like a couple of times
and then it's like, okay, you pay.
How many, like as in how many times?
Like twice, two, twice, maybe, maybe maybe three times it's always so awkward on first dates
oh i hate that i haven't done very many first dates no the show oh fuck yeah when they're like
ah just pay like people on first dates like you're on telly just fucking pay ask her ask
for the money back on the le outside but you pay in the restaurant.
Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Bo Williams.
I can't hear, sorry,
I can't hear anything in this.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Sorry.
Okay, so that's it.
We've been ripped from that topic.
Joe insists on five minutes a topic.
Jesus, he's got us on a timer.
Oh, sorry, we got ten there,
so we're in trouble now.
Go on, Joanne.
What have you brought to the pod?
So do you know what I'm bet into this week?
Oh, is it still your one that you're texting me about?
You're still texting me about that one.
Alice Evans.
Yeah, from last week.
Just to say now,
I'm keeping a tight eye on Alice, right?
I'm keeping a close eye
on Alice because
I'm wondering,
I'm like, Alice,
do you want me to come around
for a bottle of Merlot?
Like, I'll be there in five.
She,
it's not about Alice,
but now that you've brought Alice up,
let's have a quick chat about Alice.
Alice is now reposting
all the comments
on the Daily Mail
about her
saying,
like, kind of arguing
and debating them.
Debating
the comments on the Daily Mail
and the general vibe is
now I'm thinking maybe
she needs to rein it in now.
She's pulled back because she came back and apologised
for saying that her kids were crying every day.
Yeah, I think she's just, you know,
a lot of women just get divorced and they just
kind of silently go into the dark,
go into the night. Alice is fighting
back. She's a maverick.
I went into the dark and into the night.
Yeah, but you want,
you chose that divorce.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't go into the dark
and into the light.
You went to the Alps,
met someone else.
Stop trying to make out
you were licking your wound.
Excuse me,
I was single for a year.
Single, well, ish.
Single-ish.
Dating around.
Yeah. Dating not enough enough by the way not enough
I know I think I know I think everyone on their deathbed would say I wish I'd
Joanne and I we did speak about this about our worldliness which is our sluttiness
and we we haven't done a good job you still have time I know you have time to shine and to get
yourself out there and to see a lot more Willys than I have seen.
Why don't you call it a Willy?
Why do you say Willy?
I know, you are obsessed with talking about them.
You have got Willy-itis.
You don't start talking about them.
Willy-itis.
They're so funny.
So, it's not Alice I'm bad into this week.
It's other way around.
Oh my God.
You've also spoken.
This is a weird obsession. Okay, go on. I'm bed into this week. It's other way around. Oh my God. You've also spoken. This is a weird obsession.
Okay, go on.
I'm so not interested in her.
But she's everywhere at the moment.
Like she's Demi Lovato
and her struggles with a dick.
No Vogue.
Shun.
Not another dick story.
Addiction.
I saw your eyes, ears perk up there.
No, we're not going to talk about addiction.
Addiction, right?
So basically, Demi Lovato.
Actually, it was quite,
I did not know that she was like taking heroin and stuff.
I know.
So, I mean, the story is just absolutely awful
and tragic and heartbreaking.
And she's been in rehab.
She first went into rehab when she was 18.
And then she got sober
and then had a team around her
where they just, every decision was made for her,
every meal was chosen for her,
someone made her exercise.
She got sober.
She's made a load of documentaries
called like,
Strong and Complicated,
Complicated Strong,
I'm Stronger Now,
Sober, Complicated,
Complicated Sober.
Like, it's just relentless, right?
And in every documentary
she's talking about how she's sober
and then when she does
the next documentary
she talks about how she wasn't sober
in the last documentary
and she was high.
So now she's finally come out with another
documentary called
Dancing with the Devil
who the fuck
where are these going
these documentaries
YouTube where I spend
my whole life
do you
I never look at YouTube
I fall asleep
listening
I put documentaries
this is my biggest
life hack
right
now I know you
fall asleep
because you've got kids
I need something
the Calm app
I love that app don't mind the Calm app no got kids I need something more substantial the Calm app I love that app
don't mind the Calm app
no
I'm telling you
don't mind the Calm app
put on
a documentary
about space
or ancient Rome
no
space scares me
I don't want to do space
and then you dream
that you're there
so you direct
like I spent
all of last night
in Pompeii
had a ball you know what Do you direct? Like I spent all of last night in Pompeii.
Had a ball.
You know what?
That's actually a really clever idea.
Yeah.
But it is true because I don't like watching scary things before going to bed because I don't want to be murdered in my sleep.
But sometimes...
Not ideal.
Oh my God, Pompeii.
I'd love to go to Pompeii.
Honestly.
I actually think we should go to Pompeii.
Like actually go to Pompeii.
I'd love to go to Pompeii. And. I actually think we should go to Pompeii, like actually go to Pompeii. I'd love to go to Pompeii.
And Chernobyl.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, no, I would love to go to Chernobyl,
but like, I mean, Chernobyl's just full of dead dogs and shit now.
No, it's like fully, right.
I watched this thing about Chernobyl, right?
And there's these people, forget what they called them.
Influencers.
I saw them too.
Yeah.
They're going to try and take selfies in Chernobyl.
Yeah, they go to Chernobyl and they try and stay the night
and they try and stay the night
for like four or five days
and then they sneak back out
and they love it.
Tourists or something they call it.
And there's people like policing
to try and get them to stay out
because they're all like
climbing all over
the old Ferris wheel.
And then there's people
that live like in the danger zone
and they like,
and the shopkeeper
will only be allowed
to stay in the shop
and work there for two weeks
and then have to leave again.
But there's like a whole community of people that live there
and they're like, ah, fuck it, we want to live here.
It's our house.
So are they just kind of not interested in the radiation
or is the radiation just depleted so much?
It was with Ben Fogel, some show with him.
They just don't care.
They're settlers and they want to live there.
They don't care about what's happened.
And there's levels that you can't stay long
because of the the radiation
but they just stay there
and like
I find it weird
that like
it's so depressing
it was all raining
and shit
it was just
rotten
like radioactive
land
but I want to go there
I was going to say
can we not just go to Ibiza
or something
no I think it would be
interesting to go to
Chernobyl
Chernobyl
and Popeye
Popeye
oh yeah we forgot about Demi Lovato.
Demi Lovato.
So Demi, anyway,
she's having a nightmare.
She's saying she's sober now.
It's very hard to know
whether she is or not,
but she's done that very kind of
freeing thing that Britney did.
She shaved her head.
She's everywhere.
She's kind of telling her story again.
You know, it's one of these,
I think with celebrities,
they either say nothing
about themselves
and they're all mysterious
or we get every single
they've realised
that there's
traction in their
kind of human
Oh a hundred percent
You get these very
airbrushed personalities
like Ariana Grande
where you don't really
know anything about
or you get Demi
where like
she's fucking
showing you her tampons
like do you know what I mean
you just get everything
But I find some people
want to put shit out there
because they're like,
they actually,
there's certain people I follow
that I'm actually friends with,
but I'm like,
you're not like that.
You're simply saying that
and doing that to get likes
and to get traction.
Of course.
And it drives me off the wall.
I honestly,
I have to mute them.
I wonder how people,
if they could find out
if you've muted them.
No, because I know
that Instagram wants everyone
to kind of stay friends. The worst thing Instagram ever did to me was get rid of, you know, find out if you've muted them. No, because I know that Instagram wants everyone to kind of stay friends.
The worst thing Instagram
ever did to me
was get rid of,
you know that thing
where you could see
what people have liked?
Oh, I still have that.
No, you don't.
Yeah, I do.
Likes.
What?
Instagram wouldn't,
Instagram wouldn't do me like that.
Oh, you can't see anyone's likes.
No, you can't see anyone's likes.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You go in,
you could literally see,
I'm going to solve everything.
You could see what people had liked. You know, the photos that they'd liked. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, no. You go in, you could literally see, I know it's all very boring, you could see what people had liked.
You know, the photos that they'd liked.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And what people had commented on.
The Demi thing fascinates me
because when are we going to accept
that if you put a child
into show business,
they are going to
completely go off the rails
and end up in rehab?
I do not know a single child star.
Miley Cyrus is alright.
Is she?
No, she's not.
She's been in and out
of rehab, addiction,
all that jazz.
What about Justin Timberlake?
Okay, yeah.
Fair enough.
I think it's not a nice
industry to get into
at a young age.
Look at that.
Lindsay Lohan.
Lindsay Lohan was a fashion model
at three,
which I think it's a stretch.
I don't think you're
a fashion model at three.
You're just a baby in a dress.
Macaulay Culkin
ended up divorcing his parents.
Why would you, in all good faith, put your child...
I am so lucky that my mother didn't even know,
like, had no interest.
And any time I tap danced in the house,
she was like, go to bed!
Hadn't, didn't give a shit.
No, Joanne.
Go to bed!
Even when I turned 33, she was like,
Joanne, please, God, would you not go back and do nursing?
Like, no interest.
Like, was desperately trying to rip me off the stage.
And for that, I'm actually really grateful now.
I don't think it's a real done thing in Ireland, though.
Like, even my parents, like, I had to go to uni.
I had to get a degree.
I wasn't allowed, like, do what I wanted to do
until I got the degree.
And then they, thank God for me.
Not fair, but not.
In Ireland, they just find it kind of embarrassing.
Yeah.
You're making a show with a family.
Yeah.
Get down off the table. Stop singing. Do that. Yeah. You're making a show with a family. Yeah. Get down off the table.
Stop singing.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
I used to knock around to the neighbor's house
and they'd open the door
and I'd just start singing Tomorrow from Annie.
Oh, jeez.
We used to go carol singing around our estate as well.
That's different.
That's traditional.
Oh, we used to go...
Are you saying that was the start of your showbiz career?
Start of my showbiz career was carol singing.
I used to do dancing.
But like my mom,
it was like I never existed. I was the third child born probably when my parents were thinking,
let's break up now. But then they're like, let's have one more go. And then I came along and they're like, fuck, now we have to stay together. And then they just forgot about
me. There's no pictures of me. There's no evidence. Well, look, you've certainly turned
that around.
pictures of me there's no evidence
well look
you've certainly
turned that around
can you cartwheel
no
what
it takes months
you can't cartwheel
no why would I
bother cartwheeling
I'm a grown woman
have you never
cartwheeled when you're younger
are we recording now
I don't know if I've
shaved my armpits
okay so we we mentioned earlier about mummy mot and i thought considering we spoke about dicks
and willies so much that we should talk about fannies i go and do some weird things but like
i've had two kids okay and you have to look after your pelvic your pelvic floor i can skip i can run
i can do everything and i've had two kids, and I don't wee myself.
So smug.
What a smug bitch.
It is quite smug.
But I went to see this mummy MOT, and that's why I did it.
I sit in a chair, get my fanny zapped,
and then Joanne was interested in coming.
Can I tell the story, please? Okay, yeah, go on, go on.
Joanne was not interested in coming.
So consistent that Joanne, go.
You did actually three times try to get out of it.
I said, I just feel my time would be better spent
advancing my own career
you were sitting on your arse at home
I was writing a novella
you did actually send three
three different excuses in a row
I was like no you're coming
I didn't want to go on my own
I wanted a friend
she's like come on
just come for the crack
little did I know the impact it was going to have on my own I wanted a friend she's like come on just come for the crack little did I know
the impact it was going to have
on my life
so I'm sitting there
I walk in
firstly I've fully waxed
and shaved
because when I said I'm getting
she tells me I'm getting
my vagina buzzed
I assumed they were going to
stick a rod in me or something
like a cattle rod
so I'm there
I've got alopecia
from the eyebrows down
ready for my day out
in the fanny shop
I go in
folks sitting there
fully clothed in white
like a vision.
You look like J-Lo
just sitting on the chair
just going zzzz.
The fanny shop.
Zzzz.
So Maria, the physio,
was like,
oh Joanne,
while you're just here,
you know, killing time,
why don't you sit
on another one of the
fanny machines?
The testing machine.
The testing machine.
And the thing with
the testing machine is
you clench your pelvis and then I'm doing it now. And the thing with the testing machine is you clench your pelvis.
I'm doing it now.
And the thing goes up.
It has a screen in front
and it goes up like a heartbeat.
You have to follow the line.
You have to squeeze up and let it go down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right at that.
I flatlined.
So I'm on it anyway
and I'm waiting for the...
And Maria's like,
oh, so clench now, love?
And I'm like, yeah, clenching.
And she's like oh okay
and you can see
she's kind of looking
at the back of the machine
to see if it's plugged in
she gets
she's like hop off there
for a second
hop off there
so Maria gets on
you know
she's grand
yeah
fucking thing firing up
absolute precision
boom boom boom boom boom
Vogue's like
let me in
Vogue gets on
once again
she could
fucking perform surgery with that vagina.
The precision was so intense.
If you put a scalpel in it, she could do heart surgery.
So I get back on.
It's now very clear my vagina's dead.
Defunct of sorts.
So everyone's like, okay, don't worry.
I'm sure it's fine.
I'm sure it's fine.
Vogue's like, ah.
Vogue bounces out with her perfect vagina.
Maria's like, okay, we're going to have to
start a serious course
I'm now a regular
patient of a
mummy postnatal clinic
having
never had a child
but you know what
what I will say to you is
the fanny journey
is never ending
we will always
as women
have to do it
for the rest of our lives
well I got given these
have you been
have you got the fanny tampons
no
you get these tampons right
they're kind of like tampons
and you put them
palviva
you put them inside you
you pull out the thing
run to bed
and lie down
because you get such a fright
and then it starts buzzing you
for about half an hour
so you're getting your buzz on
at home
so get them to give you them
the fanny tampons
are you not worried
that the next child
it won't be able to get out of you you'll have it tightened up so much I wanted to get them to give you the fanny tampon. Are you not worried that the next child won't be able to get out of you?
You'll have tightened up so much.
I wanted to get back
to 100% of fanniness.
But I'm operating
at about 5% here.
And I'm grand.
Yours is not that bad.
You don't wee yourself.
Oh, actually,
did you say a wee story?
I used to, as a kid.
I used to laugh
every time I laughed.
But like,
I think that a lot of the time
when women laugh
they wet them
like you were saying
you wet yourself
when you skip
the aww
yeah
and do you know what
actually I was on a run
well this is the thing
it's a constant battle
the pelvic floor
I was on a run
with Spenny
and he never lets me
stop running
there's no breaks
in the running
so I had to take a tissue out
and I blew my nose
as I was running
and as I blew my nose
I weed myself a bit so that was just that yeah that's blew my nose as I was running. As I blew my nose, I weeded myself a bit.
Yeah. So that was just that. Yeah, that's life though. But like, I was really surprised with the,
when I failed the mummy MOT because I went, during lockdown, I went to have a smear test,
literally for something to do. And your one, the doctor was like, she put on a head torch.
I know, whatever. Anyway, it was a really embarrassing joke. Cover your ears.
They are covered, okay.
She was like, I can't get in.
She was like, you're going to have to sit up on your fists.
Oh, I always sit up on my fists.
What?
Why don't you?
Not when I'm about to have sex,
but like when I go in.
I think because when you're about to,
because you know when you're about to get that like plastic thing shoved up you,
that you're like, oh, your panny's like,
no, no, no, no, no.
I would thought it was
because my hymen's grown back
because I haven't been touched in a year.
She was like,
when lockdown ends.
She was like, I can't get in.
And I was like,
oh my God, I'm so tiny and tight.
So I'm up on my knuckles,
spread out like a ham sandwich.
And she's there with the head torch
going in, like for a deep dive.
And then she goes,
I know you.
No.
She goes, you're that comedian.
No.
I was like, I hear.
Could you, like, could you have chosen a more embarrassing moment?
I was like, I'm going to have you struck off.
Oh my God, that's really bad.
Anyway, whatever.
The point was, I thought I had a teeny tiny,
cute, teeny tiny, tic-tac-sized vagina.
Then I got into the fucking mummy MOT thing. I'm loose open and now I'm a regular in there and they're trying to fix you're not hanging loose apparently I'm lopsided at least I can fix you so that's grand so you
you're welcome thank you come and do more fun things that I get you involved in thank you we're
gonna try and try out different things for our listeners actually like I wonder if I had a baby
I'd have to like hold it in there almost no oh my god you know what though with the second
baby got no lid is basically the second baby like she was really far down i had to start stop
running really early into it but one of my mates right had a baby then tried to have sex their
husband again god knows why i'd be like don't touch me anyway i tried to have sex with her husband again God knows why I'd be like don't touch me
anyway
I tried to have sex
with him again
he couldn't
get in her
he couldn't get in right
and she knew her doctor
and she went back to the doctor
and she's like
I can't get him in
and the doctor was like
oh yeah I gave you
a gentleman stitch
she's like what
she's like yeah
I stitched you up
smaller than you were before
as in like
you know you get stitched up after
well not everybody
no
the doctor gave her
like an extra couple of stitches.
It's called a gentleman's stitch.
That's rotten.
To give the man an extra sensation.
Oh.
I know.
And the woman, I guess.
She's like, well, fucking take it out.
And the woman.
But like people are like obsessed with the fact like
you hear different people saying,
oh, your fanny must be huge because you've had kids.
Like the baby's head is not sitting
in the middle of your fanny for like for nine months.
It just, it comes out for a minute.
I'm opening my legs while I'm doing this.
You're so worked up.
Who's been telling you your fanny's huge?
No one's told me my fanny's huge.
It feels like this is something you want to talk about.
