Welcome to My Therapist Goes To Me with me, Joanne McNally and herself, Vogue Williams.
Vogue Williams, thank you.
How was your lunch? I might take that up. Because you said, even if I have kids, I'm
still going to do my little Sunday on my own.
Like, when I say I have no time alone, like, there's like, she now follows me into the shower.
She watches me in the shower until I'm done.
Because, like, there's nowhere to go.
I don't remember the last time I've gone to the toilet in peace.
Nowhere alone.
She's not just closed the door in her face.
Like, what? Come on. The screeching is, like, it's unbearable. There's not just closed the door in her face like what
come on
the screeching
is like
it's unbearable
there's nothing worse
than the screeching
I think you need to do
some kind of hard mothering
I think I just need to take
like
I should take myself
for lunch
just once a week
alone
100%
I did think it was
a bit obnoxious though
because I was like
single woman Sunday
obviously
straight away
they're like well you're not single anymore anymore I was like well look yes obviously I'm
seeing someone but I'm still single in my cell not not look at her look at her trying to still
be relatable tough look well hop on board my train honey no but I like I still feel like as in I'm
still alone a lot you know what I mean but I was saying I have kids, I'll still take myself for lunch on Sunday.
And then I was like, well, realistically, if I had three kids,
I probably couldn't take myself to lunch on a Sunday.
You could change it to a Monday, though.
It doesn't have to be day specific.
The key for me is learning to be alone and be content on your own.
And actually, do you know what I've also started doing, which is huge growth?
Now I don't demand that they put me in the corner anymore.
Last night, they were like, you know, they put the single tables in the middle. They were like, do you want that one? And I was like, yeah, I'll take that one. me in the corner anymore. Last night, they were like, you know they put the single tables
in the middle.
They were like,
do you want that one?
I was like,
yeah, I'll take that one.
Sat in the middle
of the restaurant
on my own.
Delighted.
See, that wouldn't bother me.
Didn't even think about it.
Because I'd be so far
into my phone
that I wouldn't even notice
anything going on around me.
You can feel a bit on show.
They put all the four-seaters
against the walls
and the single,
the two-seaters
in the middle
for some reason.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I do agree with you.
I think you have to find contentment within yourself because when I went through a big
breakup, I like forced myself to be single for a while when obviously I didn't want to
be single.
And then you decide, oh my God, I'm actually grey cracked to go out on my own.
A hundred percent.
And then score everyone.
A hundred percent.
But always go home on your own and then wait until you're happy with yourself and then
eat.
I'm all about it.
Yeah.
Like that took me ages.
Like, during lockdown,
I was like on the verge of a breakdown
nine times a day.
But now I'm like,
I'm very mentally robust now.
I think it's the first,
I think I'm the most mentally robust
I've ever been in my entire life.
Apart from when I was six
and I didn't have the mental capacity
to not be robust.
I didn't have the stresses.
I agree with you.
Definitely since I've known you,
this is like your best.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like,
you're owning it. I'm just very happy. Isn't that a nice like your best yeah I'm like you're owning it
I'm just very happy
isn't that a nice thing
to say
I'm very happy
I'm very happy
yeah
I don't need any
like do you know what I mean
I'm not
I don't feel like
there's a hole in me anymore
for years I felt like
there was a hole
that you're trying to fill
do you know what I mean
with bulimia
with men
with booze
with something
but there's no hole now
I am obviously still
giving the booze a good go
but there's no hole in me now I'm whacking I'm whacking the booze, with something. But there's no hell now. I am obviously still giving the booze a good go, but there's no hell in me now. I'm whacking the booze out
of it again. Honestly. I am full. My cup is full. That's my friend Dawn who always talks
about it. She's like, how's your cup? My cup feels quite full as well, I have to say. Well,
it's a little bit, maybe 10% left because I still have that like little fear from the
weekend. Yeah. Once I've had a drink. I drank cheap vodka.
What's cheap to you though?
You probably think Smirnoff is like white label shit.
I wish it was Smirnoff.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Supermarket own brand vodka.
Because it was the only one I could get.
And when I tell you Amber and I were sick on Sunday,
like I actually, I could hear people outside talking about going for lunch.
And I was like, I don't think I'll be able to get out of bed by then.
Like I was so ill
and eventually I dragged myself up
at like 11 o'clock in the morning and that's like,
I mean, that's like night time for me.
I'm not being bad. Are you sure you're not pregnant?
No, I'm definitely not. How do you know?
Don't even go there.
Where's the wood? This sounds like
morning sickness to me. I am telling you,
if I drank an expensive vodka, I'm
never going cheap on the vodka again because Amber was sick. I was sick. We were vomiting all day. Everyone else who didn't
have vodka, fine. I have to show you a video of Amber. Now I can't post this because she's had
such a reaction to the chair. So the chair arrived in my house. Oh yeah, okay. The chair. And I said
to Amber, go on there and have a go. I had it on level 3 Amber put it on level 1
and it was just
the biggest baby
this is the Fanny Buzz chair
by the way that we're talking about
so where is it?
it's in the basement
it's in the basement
it's ready
I need to go use it later
watch her now
the chair
has
arrived
right? a level 1 Buzz a level 1 Buzz Amber goes to me right
a level one buzz
a level one buzz
Amber goes to me
she's like
you're a fan
he's probably on the floor
because you've had
three babies
and I thought
that little bitch
we know that's not the truth
because when I went in
and we both went in
you were the one
who walked out
with a five star review
and I was the one
who was kept back
well I'll tell you
what you might
after class
yeah
yeah
remember
oh she sauntered out hopped out hopped skipped and jumped was kept back. Well, I'll tell you what, you can... After class. Yeah. Yeah. Remember?
Oh, she sauntered out.
Hopped out.
Hopped, skipped and jumped.
Skipped out.
That is a really bad thing that people think about
people that have babies.
It's not like the baby's
like hanging in your vagina
for like nine months.
He lives up there.
It literally opens for a second
and closes again.
So what's the plan with the chair?
Are you just going to buzz yourself once a day?
I don't know. You can only go once
a day, but I don't even know if you can do it once a day. I think
it might be like once every few days.
Yeah. But I'm just going to keep going and see
how I go with it and not even ask them.
Oh my God, you'll be so tired, Spencer, you won't be
able to get in. That's
the point of this. That's the plan. He goes last
night, by the way. He was like, we were talking today and he goes,
oh, and we were about to get it on last night.
And I was like, excuse me?
I honestly had earplugs in.
I had a face mask on my forehead
ready to go down
and I was lying on my side
about to go to bed.
I was about to go to sleep
and he thought that we were about to get it on.
That's a consent issue.
What planet are you living on?
Like, obviously I'm not ready for that.
That's not healthy.
What part of this makes you think
that I'm ready to be seduced?
Exactly.
So I popped on my
skin colour thong this morning.
There's absolutely no way
it's happening today either.
That'll show.
You wear an eye mask in bed.
An eye mask,
earplugs,
and I have to have white noise.
Honestly,
I had to wean myself
off the earplugs
when Spenny went
because I was like,
because I have to listen out
for the kids or a fire
or something like that
and I can't have them in.
Yeah.
I had a bit of a weird one
on Saturday.
Oh yeah.
I know.
I'm really surprised.
I don't think
I can't imagine it's true.
It is true.
Who told you it was true?
So I could feel it.
So basically I did two shows
in the Lowry in Salford right.
So I was doing
a four o'clock show
and an eight o'clock show
and I tried to go up
the night before
because I knew
it was too long a day
to get the train up to Manchester
and then do the two shows
and of course
it was in the train station
the night before
and there was some
overhead damage
but it was actually
really funny
because I was in the bar
all the trains were cancelled
and I was sitting at a table
with these three men
and it was kind of like
planes, trains and automobiles
because we started talking
they all missed their trains
as well
and we kind of started
slowly talking and kind of started slowly talking
and kind of telling
each other our life stories
it was like a play
anyway park that
so I had to go up to
Manchester the next day
so the 4pm show
was great crack
I had a nice time
but then the 8pm show
why?
I think it's the toughest
one I've had so far
on the tour
it was me
basically
it's two shows a day
it's too much
I kind of blew my load
on the first show
yeah
second show went out and they were kind of a quiet load on the first show. Yeah. Second show went out
and they were kind of a quietish audience,
which is fine.
Like, do you know what I mean?
They, you know,
and I was kind of quiet as well.
I'm really surprised
that you would even have a quiet audience though.
Like I've been there.
It's wild.
Some audiences are quieter than others.
Just the room might be a bit more formal
or maybe there's slightly a different type of crowd.
I don't know, whatever.
There was still a great audience
it was nothing to do
with them
the mix between
them being slightly more
like do you know
some of the stuff
I was saying
I was like
they're just
not working
and they weren't laughing
and then what do you do
they were laughing
at some bits
and then other bits
I was like
did I not
can they not understand me
anyway it was just
it was one of those gigs
I walked off
and I was like
I want to
pat out my insides
do you know what I mean I was like yeah it was one of those so sorry to anyone and I was like, I want to bril out, pat out my insides. Do you know what I mean?
I was like, bleh!
Yeah, it was one of those.
So sorry to anyone in the cell for the 8 o'clock show.
It just didn't feel like it was...
Like if you're talking about a performance on energy levels,
I'd say it was a four.
I felt like I was just walking around up there.
Well, that's kind of what you do.
You do walk around a lot up there.
Yeah, but you perform.
Someone actually sent me a picture of just your feet, by the way.
What?
It was just one of those things
I was like oh god
see
it was tough
it was hard work
if that happened to me
and they started flopping
I'd have to just run away
I wouldn't be able
to stand there
I couldn't
have you ever ran away?
does anyone do that?
one time
the worst gig I've ever had
I was supposed to do 20 minutes
I did four
I was like fuck you
where was that?
Peterborough
they hated me fuckborough they hated me
fuck you
they hated me
it was horrible
it was horrible
it was a club gig
that had been booked in
about two years ago
before lockdown
and
Rick
my UK agent
was like
you don't have to do it
whatever
we'll sack it off
and I was like
no no no
I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna do it
and it was the worst gig
of my life they literally the women in the it I'm gonna do it and it was the worst gig of my life
they literally
the women in the front row
turned their back on me
you know
it's horrible
yeah
it's horrible
I don't know how people
can do that
but people can be dicks
you walk up
they decide
they just take a dislike
into you
you don't like what you're wearing
you don't know what it is
there's just something
something goes wrong
you're not the right fit
for the room
in any sense
and the one woman
was being really aggro with me
she thought I was trying
to ride her boyfriend.
I was like,
fucking stay out of him as if.
But anyway,
like,
I was like,
you're a grant.
She was being real territorial
over him.
I was like,
I'm not fucking twerking up here.
Do you know what I mean?
You're a grant.
And so I was down to 220
and after about four minutes,
I was like,
I'm not putting myself
through this.
And how did you say,
did you say,
I'm Joanne McNally,
goodnight.
Yeah,
I just said,
I'll leave you there,
goodnight.
And the MC, because I was supposed to do 20
he was in the room next door
and I just put the mic
back in the stand
and they were like
and the MC's running up
running all the way
up from the back of the room
because of course
he didn't know
I was going to come off
after five minutes
I was like
I'm not doing
some people would be
they'll feel like
they have to do their time
you know what I mean
but I'm like
I'm not doing it
no you have to be nice to yourself
and I also think
that people have to be nicer in general anyway i had
some fucking arsehole go for me this weekend on on instagram and it really like it really bothered
me it still bothered me today tell us she entered a competition on my page right and like oh i work
with different brands and like i can only do what i can do to get people that what they've won and
so all the other four people got what they won
because they just did.
This girl didn't.
So she mailed me when I just had Otto
and I was like, oh, fuck, I better sort that out.
Like, I feel really bad about that.
Sent a message to the person I needed to send a message to.
Anyway, they tried to deliver the parcel four times.
She was never home.
And then she started giving me.
So after two more times telling me to chase,
I went and did what I had to do.
I went to chase.
And after the third time,
she obviously got annoyed
and she mailed me this like level of abuse
saying that like,
I don't cater for women who work.
Like she's in work.
How can she get her parcel?
How am I so thick to send it four times?
And that like,
I'm a really,
I'm a really bad person.
And then it shows me in a different light
and I'm not in any way relatable
and everything I say on Instagram is bullshit.
What?
I was just like,
I eventually had to say to her,
I was like,
you realise that
I haven't done anything wrong here?
Like, I'm not the company
that's meant to be sending you that.
I've chased it.
We all work during the day.
The parcel comes,
the little letter comes in
and then you have to go down
to the post office and collect it.
It's a pain in the hell
but it's the reality of modern life.
I know.
Otherwise it gets sent back
and we have to send it four times
and now it's going to be
going on to the fifth.
Long may your competitions last, Vogue. I've always enjoyed them.
I love a competition.
I always get my prizes. Anything I've
entered and won, I've always gotten my
prizes. Joanne always will
get a prize or some kind of surprise
from me. Always gotten my prizes.
I feel very flat today.
You don't look flat.
You look great.
No, sorry.
I feel very flat.
No, I know you said flat.
I know you said flat.
But it's like, look,
we've all put on a couple of pounds.
I think you look great.
I said flat.
But you also look slender, OK?
Yeah, I feel flat today, Jo.
How do you feel? I'm going to glass debris, so great.? I feel flat today, Joe. How do you feel?
I'm going to glass debris,
so great.
Feel, feel flat.
That's how you feel
next Monday, hon.
I was saying to Joe,
I was like,
are you not even going to
take a little hallucinogenic?
He's not going to take anything.
Just points for a week.
Do you think I believe
that for a second?
I think you're trying
to maintain an air
of professionalism with us.
Oh, yeah.
He's not going to.
All right.
Well, let's see.
Lager.
Not even a helium balloonager not even a helium balloon
not even a balloon
oh come on Jo
if I could take
that gas and air
from hospital
that's the helium balloon stuff
I mean
where do I sign up
wouldn't get me
off the stuff
that's one of the reasons
I will get pregnant
just get my hands
on that air and gas
it's the best part
of giving birth
the best part
and I just pretend
I'm like oh I feel oh I've got a contraction I need the gas and air now I haven Honestly, it's the best part of giving birth. The best part. And I just pretend.
I'm like, oh, I feel,
oh, I've got a contraction.
I need the gas and air now.
I haven't even gotten into the room.
I'm like, oh, you better give me the gas and air.
I'm sure you could organise
having gas and air in your house.
If you've got fizzy water
coming out of your tap,
I'm sure there's a way
you could organise it.
You've got a Kegelshire
in your basement.
You could definitely,
you could put a maternity ward
in your basement.
Yeah, how do I not
have the gas and air?
Well, my friend gave birth at home and she bought do I not have the gas and air well my friend
gave birth at home
and she bought herself
a canister of gas and air
and legally
they have to take it away
yeah I know
so she bought it
didn't use it
and they just took
the whole lot away
hold on
how can you take air away
well you're not
it's gas
it's more gassy
the air is just the bit
that you're sucking in
from like the
natural surroundings
it's like pumping morphine
into yourself really isn't it sucking morphine i haven't done that i have done that
actually when i got my knee done that was actually not so bad either the gas and air though i uh i
remember when i was in i was up in york and i fell off the horse i had to get like 13 stitches
and i was in there and i was so high when she was like cleaning out my cut i was on amazon trying
to buy it because i thought you could just buy it and the nurse was like
you can't buy it
I was like
Amazon will have it
they have everything
what about balloon shops
if you owned a balloon shop
you could buy some
have you ever done
helium balloons
no no no
what is it
not helium balloons
what is it
like
the cream
it comes from cream
the balloons
the gas balloons
yeah I don't want to be sucking on a balloon I'd rather be more classy balloons that the gas balloon... Nitrous oxide. Yeah.
I don't want to be sucking on a balloon.
I'd rather be more classy
and get the gas and air from hospital.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Giving birth sucking on a balloon
would look absolutely outrageous.
Actually, that'd be a great crack.
That'd be so funny.
I've brought my own balloons.
What did you pack in your hospital bag?
Sucking a balloon animal
while you're giving birth.
Chewing on the tail of a balloon poodle.
Poor Gigi came home
with one of those balloon dogs.
They bumped into this
a clown that she goes to this
I love the word clown as well.
I love calling someone a clown.
Clown, I love it.
Absolute clown.
Yeah.
She arrived home at one
and she got so excited
when she came in
to show me that it burst
was there anything in it
I remember going to the circus
as a kid
and we'd have those balloons
with the beans in it
yeah
you can still get them
yeah with the huge big
you bounce them
with the elastic band
and I burst it on the
the wall coming out
from Fawcett Circus
they're still going
God I haven't been to the circus
they've no elephants or anything anymore what to the circus. There are no elephants
or anything anymore.
What could the circus be anymore?
It's just a gymnasium
basically in a tent, no?
You can't choose animals anymore.
Clowns.
Clowns, yeah, I mean.
I know I'll have to go to a circus
at some point
with Theodore and Gigi.
You can go to clowning college.
Did you know that?
I'd actually love to do it.
Clown school.
Clown school.
Don't need to.
You already are one.
I'd love to get better at the clowning as my mother says. The clowning. The clowningown school. Don't need to. You already are one. I do have to get better
at the clowning
as my mother says.
The clowning.
The clowning.
Yeah, stop clowning around.
You're clowning it
so you can't.
Oh, by the way,
a little bit of a
correction corner.
My mother's very upset
that I've been telling
people that I've got
syphilis.
So someone came up
to her and asked her.
Somebody told on you.
Somebody asked
if I,
does Joanne actually have syphilis?
So, correction,
it wasn't syphilis,
it was rosacea.
So she's like,
Joanne, can you please
clear that up
that you don't actually
have syphilis?
And thank you to Dr. Storm
for sorting me out
with my meds.
Why, it's just rosacea?
How did you get rosacea meds?
Your nose does look good today.
Yeah, it's much better.
It was really bad.
Really bad.
How did you just
pick that up?
I don't know. I think pick that up I don't know
I think just because
I don't know what's going on
I think I'm kind of
falling apart from the inside out
but I've never had rosacea before
I can't believe someone
went up to your mom
and said has Joanne got syphilis
yeah
it's a true Joanne has syphilis
now
Sophie my ex-housemate
she's a sexual psychologist
and she was saying
she has said syphilis
is on the rise
it's on
it's back baby
syphilis is back
syphilis is back
I was talking to Spenny about what you said about the
Raya app. God, it took a long
time to try and allow
him to understand what I meant.
And he said he'd get rid of his.
Well, of course he would because he's
married with 12 kids.
I said I wouldn't.
Last week's pod when we said that you and
Peter had put Rhea into a folder
yeah
and I said it to Sven
I was like what would you do
and he was like
go get rid of it
and then after a while
when I said I would keep it
he said okay well then
I'd just follow your lead
don't want to get rid of that stuff
come on
no
it's important
the amount of people asking me
to recommend them for Rhea
I have no power over on Rhea
I've tried to recommend
several people
none of them have got on
do you know there's a new one
called Thursdays
and you can only ask people
out on a date on a Thursday.
It's great.
I like it.
It's kind of,
it gives it,
because the problem with date naps
is you've so much choice.
But if there's a sense of urgency there,
you're more likely to act.
So if your sense of urgency
is on a Thursday,
it kind of,
I get that it's like a surge.
You know what I mean?
You're like,
today's the day.
Yeah, I think Thursday's a good night
to go out in the piss
because loads of people do office jobs
and I always think it's better to be hung over
on someone else's time, not your own.
Oh, it's such a pro.
It's such a good, honestly.
I swear to God.
If I have a job the next day,
you can be sure I'll be hung over.
What do you think I'm doing now?
Dying.
Dying.
I finished off the cheap vodka last night.
You totally swapped places.
I love this.
Amber was so in bits.
She was way worse than me.
She couldn't even get out of bed.
And then it reminded me
of a time when we were in Spain
and Amber,
like my parents don't really love
when Amber gets in any way
kind of drunk.
Well, she drank two bottles
of champagne on Christmas Day.
And then on December 26,
when she woke up,
she was so hungover,
vomiting all day
and she tried to claim
food poisoning.
I'm like, Amber, we all ate the same shit
yeah yeah yeah
you do not have food poisoning
there's nothing worse
if I got hangovers
I probably wouldn't drink
the fact that I don't
get hangovers
it's a problem
because there's no consequences
to my actions
I actually feel like
I get less hungover
because I have the kids
because I have to be up with them
so I have to be doing stuff
and I think if you get up
and get out and do something
you feel way better
than if you just like
I just used to die in bed and like I'd order
even a breakfast takeaway. I'd have three takeaways a day just festering in my bed.
I know. I've had those high hours where the bed's covered in ketchup by 10am.
Oh, it's disgusting.
It's gross. I know. And oil.
I think I used to smoke in bed sometimes.
A hundred percent. You'd wake up, jambon, breakfast, ralphag.
A jambon.
You'd be like,
why do I feel like shit?
I have to,
I have to vlog
my tour dates
although this is a terrible episode
to be doing it.
We've talked about what?
Oh, tour dates.
Some of the dates
are selling very well
for October
but the ones that need help,
like Sheffield's
selling so badly
it feels like they're
trying to make a point. Do you know what I mean? Like, help, like Sheffield's selling so badly it feels like they're trying to make a point.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I get it Sheffield.
You hate me.
But like,
if you could just put that aside.
It's quite interesting.
Maybe she's not
for the Northern market.
Well.
Maybe you're a Southern girl.
Well, Poole isn't selling either
and that's insane.
Sheffield, Liverpool,
Playhouse, the new one's
gone on sale.
And Birmingham. Birmingham, what have I done to you? What have I done to you? Let's, tell me Sheffield Liverpool Playhouse the new one's gone on sale and Birmingham
Birmingham
what have I done to you
what have I done to you
let's
tell me so we can clear the air
I'm in the hippodrome there so
what the hell is a hippodrome
is that one of those places
where you go cycling
around in a circle
one of those things
what is it
what's a hippodrome
yeah I thought I'd spice things up
you'd just be in the centre
and everyone has to just
try and stay up
I'm on a BMX
I'm clowning myself
in on a penny farthing
going round to the track
Cambridge and Cardiff
also
I'm sorry for whatever
I'm sorry for whatever
went on between us
but
trust me I am sorry
I'm doing about
40 dates
in October
so
how are you doing 40
in October
stop listen
I'm on
I'm literally that's not fair actually that's, listen. I'm on, I'm literally.
That's not fair actually.
That's my birthday month.
I'm on the verge.
You should have discussed this with me first.
That's my birthday month.
Birthday month.
Yeah.
I actually, I didn't have a birthday last year,
so I'm having a month this year.
Are you?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that'd be nice.
You'll be in Jersey relaxing.
No, I probably won't be to be fair.
I'll be here working I'd say.
I'm kind of done with work.
I'm kind of looking at retirement now.
Is that right? No, no. I'm just so. I'm kind of looking at retirement now. Is that right?
No, no.
I'm just so...
I'm actually bored you'd get so quickly.
Huh?
I'd be so bored so fast.
I reckon I could...
Yeah.
You'd definitely get bored.
And your lifestyle would catch up with you.
Well, once this tour is done,
I will leave the pod tour then.
Yeah.
So, do you want...
And then you'll probably have to have another tour
for the next show.
You're kind of right.
I won't be touring again. I won't be doing a stand-up tour again for my three years. Nah, that's not true then you'll probably have to have another tour for the next show. You're going to ride. I won't be touring again.
I won't be doing a stand-up tour again
for my three years.
Nah, that's not true.
Really?
Totally.
I'm sorry.
I know it's your job,
but that makes me really happy.
No, 100%.
This tour is,
it's like, you know,
sizable.
Well, you know,
in fairness,
it's been absolutely amazing.
It's been amazing.
I want to go on the piss
with all the girls on your tour.
Honestly.
There's so much crack. Do you know what we can do the girls on your tour. Honestly, if you were doing,
do you know what we can do when you finish your tour?
We can go to Jersey.
Oh!
Jo, honestly,
I have this.
Like, I don't even want Spencer
to hear how obsessed
I am with Jersey,
but it is.
What a place.
What a place.
What a place.
It looks like you're in France
the whole time
on your Insta stories.
20 minutes to France
on a boat,
isn't it?
Jesus, we could paddle that.
All we need is a bit of a canoe.
We could do that ourselves.
I think you'll love it because it's so quiet.
It's so chilled.
There's a massive cliff walk.
It's just, it's honestly, and like,
oh, this is everything you need.
I can't wait to go.
It's just about when I can go.
I can't wait to go.
I would almost start believing in astrology
because I'm in a really weird mood this week.
I keep saying I'm just, I feel flat.
You seem less erratic.
That's not a bad thing.
Not fat, flat.
Flat.
You're like, no, your tits look great.
Oh, yeah, I wish I was flat again.
Honestly, I got this really gorgeous dress
and I went to put it on there
that it didn't fit me
because I actually have boobs for once.
I spoke to a clinic about
getting your boobs threaded.
I was on to,
it's an Evoca clinic in Ireland
because they messaged me once.
To get your boobs threaded?
You told me to get my tits threaded.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I don't think that you need
to get your tits threaded.
You see, I'm kind of trying to figure out
how to gift myself something for my 40th.
Like, would you not buy yourself a nice bag or something?
No, I want boobs.
You want actual boobs?
Yeah, but...
You do it and then I'll see how you get on.
But your boobs are perfect.
Are you insane?
When you see my boobs after breastfeeding, it's just these like little sad nipples hanging off.
It's terrible.
It's actually a terrible sight.
Yeah.
And my nipples aren't even like normal anymore
they hang down
I love huge nipples
anyway
I was on to a Vogue
they were on to me
and then I was on to them
and I was like
Vogue suggested getting them threaded
and she was really nice
she was
Vogue's sending me in
to get my tits threaded
she says we can't do
any photo shoot
until my tits are higher
and she was like
don't get them threaded.
It's really obvious when you get them threaded
you can see the threads.
Yeah, because it's not obvious
when you have implants.
And I don't want tits like a patchwork quilt.
So I was like, right, I'll hold off.
No, but I'd get a really discreet,
just a, I'd get a baby implant.
I have seen people with good implants
that you wouldn't know that they have implants.
But I don't know, like the recovery,
it's a bit shit.
Only because I've done like all those
9,000 shows
on like plastic surgery
it just looks a bit painful
like fucking
do you know what I mean
how come
like all the Americans
they all just
they all get nose jobs
and boob jobs
and you never see them
rocking around in bandages
they just discreetly
go away
supposedly they're all
getting brow lifts
like the 20 year olds
and that's why
like you know the way
you're like oh yeah
let's snatch,
snatch your makeup,
like Sue does,
snatches your makeup.
Yeah.
It's not snatching your makeup,
it's a brow lift.
Oh yeah, but you can snatch
your face with makeup as well.
I do a little bit of snatching,
but there's not enough snatching.
I don't know how to snatch.
I don't know how to snatch.
I put on makeup
and make my face look rounder.
I don't know how I ended up doing that.
Oh, a snatch.
Sorry, Jo.
A snatch is like
you can make your eyes lift up
and your mouth lift up
and you do it around your nose
so your face looks lifted.
Pointy.
Yeah, so your features
kind of small.
It makes you look like
one of those filters
on Instagram basically.
There's one filter in particular
and I feel like
if I was to get anything done
I'd bring that in
and show them
and be like, listen,
that's what I want to look like.
They're all doing that.
They're all bringing in filters
and the doctors are like
I can't make your face like that
you don't
that is not your face
you need a transplant
well
give me the transplant
I was watching
oh speaking of which
did you see this
there was a guy
terrible
yeah
there was a heart transplant
the heart was being flown
from somewhere to somewhere else
and the chopper
crashed
and the heart like so the doctor the chopper the chopper crashed but they managed to save the heart was being flown from somewhere to somewhere else and the chopper crashed and the heart
like
so the doctor
the chopper
the chopper crashed
but they managed to save
the heart in the box
and they gave it to the doctor
and he ran
and he dropped it
at the
beside the burnt chopper
I was like
five second reel
five second reel
can you
like
imagine
imagine getting a heart
transplant
and it's got bits of tarmac
and stone
stuck in it and all
surely they could still reuse it could they remember when you cut your knee and there's got bits of tarmac and stone stuck in it and all. Surely they could still reuse it,
could they?
Remember when you cut your knee
and there'd be bits of like
gravel cutting it?
Imagine.
Ah, you'd totally use it.
Five second real.
I reckon,
I reckon,
no, honestly,
I wonder if they could have used it.
I take a,
I would take a heart
that's been on the ground
rather than no heart.
Ah, yeah,
just wash it down.
Me too,
it'd be grand. Just like brush it off a little bit. You could zip in with your Brillo pad for heart. Yeah, me too. Just wash it down. Me too, it'd be grand.
Just like brush it off a little bit.
You could zip in with your Brillo pad.
Yeah, I'd get it sorted.
That's never going to end anyway, is it?
No, never?
Never the Brillo pad thing?
I'd love to see you with a heart.
You're like, bang, and the dirt is gone.
And then like putting the heart in yourself.
I'd use fairy on it.
What was I going to say to you?
But I did a call out for the biggest fail for this.
I want to read it. First of all, I'd going to say to you? But I did a call out for the biggest fail for this.
I want to read it.
First of all,
I'd like to say that if I die,
I will give my heart
to somebody right there.
You know it now.
I've said it.
Someone can have my heart,
not my eyes,
just not my eyes.
I give everything.
I would give everything.
Take it all.
Okay, well, this girl,
I did a call out
for the biggest fail
when you posted that.
A lot of people actually said,
said husband,
marrying my husband,
which would suggest it's the current one. And I thought, actually said, said husband, marrying my husband, which would suggest
it's the current one.
And I thought,
oh no, that's quite sad.
That's what we like
on this podcast,
sadness.
Yeah.
More sadness, please, Vogue.
Someone else,
I fell over at a phone party
and knocked out
my two front teeth.
What a nightmare.
When I first knocked out
my two front teeth,
it was actually eight teeth.
I told you that.
I knocked eight out
at one time.
It was hideous.
Yeah, but look at you now now you've got the best teeth
in the world
they're like tombstones
the size of them
that's my dentist
he's absolutely fantastic
oh there's loads of these
like in church
were you ever an altar girl?
I never got to be one
well I never actually tried
I always just looked at them
and thought I'd like to do that
yeah it was great
but why would you want to do that?
you do it for free on a Sunday
do they not even give you
like a tip from their little basket? because mass was so bloody boring that it was actually more want to do that? You do it for free on a Sunday. Do they not even give you like a tip from their little basket?
Because mass was so bloody boring that it was
actually more interesting to be actually kind of wagging a
cat bell full of incense and all that jazz.
Well, this girl was an altar girl and she
dropped the Holy Eucharist twice
bringing it to a priest.
Five second rule. Five second rule. I agree.
There's not a lot that I wouldn't eat off the ground
to be honest. I think we know now it's not
actually Jesus' body. Oh my God. Do you know what's so weird? Sorry to interrupt you. I'm trying to learn about Jesus at the ground, to be honest. Like, I think we know now it's not actually Jesus' body.
Oh, my God.
Do you know what's so weird?
Sorry to interrupt you.
I'm trying to learn about Jesus at the moment.
Don't ask me why.
I just saw... I just spent so much time on trains.
I might as well use this time well and try and learn, you know.
About Jesus.
About Jesus.
So it's this big National Geographic...
The Bible's quite a large book.
No, not the Bible.
God, I need to...
I want the cliff notes.
But so I bought the National Geographic.
It's a whole edition about Jesus, the man himself.
So I'm reading it.
I'm trying to get through it.
The most interesting thing so far,
all I've written down under my Jesus notes is
Jesus was born in a trough.
So you know the manger?
The manger was a trough.
It was a feeding trough for pigs.
Oh my God, yeah.
It looks like a trough.
Yeah, they've called it a manger
to kind of dress it up or whatever.
But it was a full-blown trough. Tell us your top five things about Jesus. Well, he was born in a trough for pigs. Oh my God, yeah. It looks like a trough. Yeah, they've called it a manger to kind of dress it up or whatever. But it's a full-blown trough.
Tell us your top five things about Jesus.
Well, he was born in a trough.
Yeah.
What else have you learned on the train?
That Mary was only about 14 at the time.
Jesus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that she'd been promised to someone else.
Poor Mary.
And that actually,
Jesus was all about
kindness.
Well,
I think we knew that.
Christianity,
there was this new thing.
It wasn't just about
like not killing
your neighbour and stuff.
It was like,
don't just not kill him.
Be sound to him.
So it was like
in a different,
it was be sound.
That was Jesus' language.
Let's all go the Jesus route.
Let's be sound
to each other.
Yeah.
Hop, yabaya.
Jesus. Theodore is like now fascinated about God. And I'm sound to each other. Yeah. Hop, yabaya. Jesus.
Theodore is like
now fascinated
about God
and I'm like,
I don't know
enough to tell you.
Like, I can't remember.
It's like Irish.
I've forgotten it
since I left school.
Well, I'm doing,
this is why I'm doing this.
And I'm not religious.
You can come over
as a godmother
and teach my kids
about Jesus.
I'll bring over
the National Geographic
and read to him from that.
He would love that. The aim of the National Geographic and read to him from that. He would love that.
The aim of the National Geographic,
the Jesus edition,
is to kind of bring Christians together.
I don't even know.
I'm not even Christian.
But I am culturally Catholic.
Like, if there's turbulence,
I'll pray if I think I'm going to die.
But apart from that,
I really couldn't give a fuck.
Or if I've lost something,
I'll hit St. Anthony straight up.
Oh, Anthony!
Is Anthony there?
I've lost one of the kids.
Down the back of the couch.
It is terrible when you just do that.
I used to like,
I used to say prayers every night
and I'd be like,
look after my dad.
That's how,
like it was only about 10 years ago
and I was still saying prayers.
Look after this.
And if you could make me win the lottery
or do that.
And like asking for just shit
that I just want.
Really self-serving stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't say you believe in Jesus
and you're telling me
you don't believe in ghosts
last week
but Jesus was
a man that existed
so I'm just trying to learn
about him as a man
do you want to hear
one more fail
yes
couldn't fit this all in the box
but my biggest fail
was getting asked
to go on a date
of a Wednesday
and replying
is it not your mom's birthday
on Wednesday
only to realise
he had never actually
told me that
that was just information I learnt after I stalked his family's birthday on Wednesday? Only to realize he had never actually told me that. That was just information I learned
after I stalked his family's page on Facebook.
Scarlet.
When you go too deep into the stalk
and then you get caught,
it's the absolute worst.
You got to be very careful.
Very careful what you let people know
that you already know.
I had a dream the other night, right?
You were late for the pod.
Oh my God, and you were late again today.
I'm like Nostradamus.
It's a vision.
It's a vision, yeah.
Do you know how upset I feel when I'm late?
Like, that's why I'm texting you guys
to tell you where I am.
I'm at Pixie Lily Circus.
I'm on Oxford.
Like, it winds me up so bad.
I know, I don't have to be late either.
But I'm basically Mystic McNally now
because, anyway, I had this dream
that you were late.
So I was like, look, I'll do it myself because I have to go somewhere, blah, blah, either. But I'm basically Mystic McNally now because anyway, I had this dream that you were late. So I was like,
look, I'll do it myself
because I have to go somewhere,
blah, blah, blah.
So I did the podcast
and then Boris Johnson
listened to it
and was like,
it's a disgrace.
You can't do anything on your own.
You're going to have to re-record it.
You have to wait for the vote.
What were you watching with Boris?
I don't know.
I also had a dream last night
that I was getting bread
with a ferret.
That's like,
it must be because you were thinking of me. Getting bread with a ferret. That's like, it must be because
you were thinking of me.
Getting bread with a ferret?
Well, because we were talking
about ferrets there
not recently.
Were we?
Yeah, ferrets.
On Las Ramblas.
And Batalona.
That's, oh my God,
that's so weird.
Yeah, so it must have come
from thinking about me.
Dreams are insane,
the kind of stuff
that you'll dream about.
I hate really scary dreams
where you have to wake yourself up
but then like you fall back asleep
and you go back into the dream.
I was reading about Billie Eilish
the other day
and she suffers from
really bad sleep paralysis.
What are you laughing at, Jo?
We're reading about Jesus
and Billie Eilish.
Yeah.
I have a lot of time on trains.
A lot of time.
I wouldn't be able to read
that kind of crap.
I like... Crap! It was the Sunday able to read that kind of crap. I like...
Crap?
It was the Sunday Times.
It was an amazing interview.
My dream...
Do you know the Sunday Times
have a section at the start
where two people
who have a relationship,
they're kind of related
or like, say, us,
they kind of talk about each other?
I really want us to do that.
My dream is to be in the Sunday Times.
Spenny and I did that.
I know.
Can you believe
they even wanted us in there?
You don't even like him that much.
What a waste.
Spenny and I have been
getting on so well lately.
Who can I do it with?
No, we'll do it together now.
You've already done it.
You've blown your beans.
They're not going to have you back.
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
That's a husband-wife thing.
The next one will be
a friend thing.
Maybe I'll just try
and do it myself.
If you did it with somebody else,
I'd honestly be annoyed, by the way.
Don't you dare pick someone else off the street.
If anyone's listening, this is Sanjo.
I saw you guys.
What?
I'd love to be in the same house.
I saw you got your suitcases.
Oh my God, shout out to Rock.
Look at the size of this house.
It's like a fridge.
It's the size of a fridge
they're actually good
because they're so light
unreal
thank you so much Rock
thank you so much
somebody else actually
mailed me offering you
a suitcase
I'll take it as well
I mean you can never
have enough suitcases
listen
do you know who
didn't mail you
Samsonite
I know
I'm not powerful enough
you're not their brand
I'm not powerful enough
who's running Samsonite
these days
clowns
clown
what a joke shop
I don't agree
with her statement
by the way
okay
and I love my Samsonites
that I was sent
you're a brand's
wet dream
not really
I told you this
I'm more an acquired taste
remember what Daniela Westbrook did to Burberry have we spoken about that before no Daniela Westbrook single handedly Bet dream. Not really. I told you this. I'm more an acquired taste. Remember what
Daniela Westbrook
did to Burberry?
Have we spoken about that before?
No.
Daniela Westbrook
single-handedly
drove Burberry
into the ground.
Remember that iconic photo,
that famous photo
where she was
head to toe on Burberry,
her child was in Burberry
and she was in
a Burberry buggy
and Burberry were like,
we can't stop people wearing,
it went full-blown chav.
Do you not remember this?
I love a bit of Burberry, actually. It went full-blown chav. Do you not remember this? I love a bit of Burberry, actually.
It went full-blown chav
and they had to kind of,
they disappeared.
Remember, Burberry are gone.
Burberry did go downhill.
All the drug dealers
and all were wearing Burberry hats.
So it became like the kind of,
the kind of uniform of the chavs
and Burberry,
like there's nothing we can do.
They kind of stopped
that Burberry print too much.
So Burberry were like,
they, Daniela Westbrook
basically like destroyed us.
Is that what they said?
They said that she actually,
oh my God, how embarrassing would that be?
They spoke about it.
I don't think she gives a shit.
She actually recreated the photo again recently.
Go on, Daniela.
She's like, fuck you, Burberry.
Hey, Joanne.
I've just landed in Italy
and I felt I had to share.
I had downloaded the most recent episode
to listen to on my plane journey.
I was very comfortable just sipping on my space
sack out when you got to the part about people taking
their shoes off on flights and Vogue insisting it
was hideous and not the norm. Horrified
and feeling personally attacked while looking down on my bare
feet. I felt
utterly ashamed. I quietly
slipped my sandals back on.
Glad the man sitting in the same row was asleep.
I was with you thinking it was fine.
It's absolutely, I'm sorry,
it is absolutely unacceptable.
Joanne, do you know what I was thinking about?
I was thinking about you the other day
when I was outside and the kids were in the paddling pool.
Where's your paddling pool?
Remember you got a paddling pool?
Yeah.
It must be in the shed or something.
Heatwave Henry is on route
it's this week
that's why I thought of you
and also mine burst
so I was going to ask you first
yeah you can have it
I'll dig it out for you
Heatwave Henry
it isn't in
Manchester
because I got on the train
in London the other day
sweltering
I basically got on
wearing half nothing
landed in Manchester
and I was like
oh I looked like an idiot
I looked like an idiot.
I looked like one of those saps in the airport
who's dressed for the beach
in Dublin Airport.
Like they're going to fly
and literally land
on the beach in Benidorm.
They're swanning around
in a sarong
in the airport in December.
With a bucket and spade.
You're like,
you're a grand woman.
What are you doing?
I'm telling you,
when I'm travelling,
I have to wear like a full
track suit with an extra blanket.
I find planes freezing.
They are freezing. have you heard about
this thing called
revenge travel
no
it's one of these
kind of buzz terms now
so I was
they're talking about
how you need an
airport suit
but so everyone's
going to
so basically
you're getting your
own back on COVID
because you haven't
got to travel so
in so long
it's called revenge travel
I was like this is
peak bullshit
I don't get it what
so you have to wear
something fancy
no sorry so they're two separate things so like are you planning to revenge travel. I was like, this is peak bullshit. I don't get it. What? So you have to wear something fancy?
No, sorry.
So they're two separate things.
So like, are you planning to revenge travel this summer?
Then you need an airport suit.
Oh, God. So of course, obviously, you'd be like,
I need an airport suit!
I need an airport suit!
I used to...
I got fitted for a tux.
Imagine wearing a tux in Freddemange
and Gatwick Airport.
I used to get really dressed up for the airport.
I used to wear heels to the airport.
Now, when I was like 18 or 19,
because I'd be worried about who I might see.
And if I was traveling to London, somewhere so cool because I'd be worried about who I might see and if I was travelling
to London
somewhere so cool
I'd be like wearing
my best clothes ever.
Yeah it is nice
to get dressed up
for the airport now
I mean Jesus
at this stage now
I'm barely dressed.
I'm just happy
you don't have
that purple suitcase.
Did you manage
to throw it out
or were you able
to part with it?
I don't actually know
where it is now.
I think it's in Dublin.
I think Peter's
put an end to that.
So I did a shout out for Leaving So Stories because for the season that's in Dublin. I think Peter's put an end to that. So I did a shout out for Leaving Sir Stories
for the season that's in it
and then didn't screen grab them.
So I don't have all of them,
but I asked them to resend them.
So they're tinkering back in.
But I loved this.
Girl puked all over her junior cert maths mock paper
and on the back of the chair in front.
Smell was violent.
We were getting our papers back with the results.
She asked where hers was
and the teacher
just looked at her
shook her head and
said I'm sorry there
was nothing I could
do.
That is absolutely
disgusting.
There's actually
nothing worse than
the smell of puke.
Gigi is a car
puker and Theodore
started crying because
we were coming home
last time we were
coming home from
Jersey she vomited
everywhere and
Theodore started
crying. The smell mommy the smell. I was like I know it's in my hands. because we were coming home last time we were coming home from Jersey she vomited everywhere and Theodore started crying
the smell
mummy the smell
I was like I know
it's in my hands
oh god
sick
listen to this
so my Leaving Cert Irish
oral exam
I wasn't the best at Irish
but was giving higher a go
praying I'd pass
mid oral
I ended up chatting
about something
I had no clue about
started making up words
by throwing fathers on English
well done that
it was that bad the examiner started touching at me and at one point started banging her head off the table chatting about something I had no clue about, started making up words by throwing fathers on English. Well done that.
It was that bad,
the examiner started touching at me
and at one point
started banging her head
off the table repeatedly.
So I got up left,
put in an official complaint
and ended up
with an automatic pass.
Shut up.
Banging her head
off the table.
Here's another one.
If you had to work in a school?
I think I would have
liked to have been a teacher.
Oh my God.
My auntie was my year ahead and honestly, we didn't speak properly for at least three years after I left school. I think I would have liked to have been a teacher. Oh my God. My auntie was my year ahead
and honestly,
we didn't speak properly
for at least three years
after I left school.
I used to walk out
and she'd follow me
and I'd be like,
sorry Naomi,
my dad gave me a note
and I'd just keep walking
and she'd be like,
I know he didn't.
And I'd be like,
it's signed.
That's a ballsy move
on your part.
I was going good in school.
Well, was I?
How about my moments?
But I wasn't that good
because I obviously
had to leave Dorky.
But anyway,
loads of the stories were about girls
going out the night
before their exams
the mad little bastards
oh I'd never have done that
here's a funny one
hello regarding exam stories
I brought a piece of paper
with cheat notes on it
into my leaving
cert German exam years ago
saw the teacher
catching me cheating
and she proceeded
to dart over to me
panicking
I shoved the piece of paper
into my mouth
in front of the whole
of sixth year in the exam hall
she started shouting at me
to open my mouth
I stood there
with my jaws clenched
fuck that
when she finally asked me
I had to put the note
into my mouth
I answered no
at the same time
accidentally spat out the note
when answering her
everyone saw
I still cringe
luckily I said the note
was a ball of gross spit
and despite her best efforts
I was not penalised
for cheating
she only got a C though
I would literally
suffocate on the paper
if it meant
not getting caught.
But that's a rookie move.
You're meant to write
in your legs.
What do you think they're for?
What do you think
your legs are for guys?
Your legs are for cheating
and that's it.
Myself and my best mate
loved fireworks nightclub
in Dublin back in the day
and used to go at least
three to four nights a week.
Fireworks?
Do you remember fireworks?
No.
The night before
our leaving cert began
we were in there
until 2am.
Cut to the following morning.
Where are the parents?
That's what I want to know.
Cut to the following morning
of the first paper
and my mate was outside
crying her eyes out
hung over to bits
on her phone
about to call a bomb threat
into the garage
to stop it from going out.
She faked fainting in the end
and got out of it. We both passed in the end and got out of it.
We both passed in
the end and celebrated
in a firework.
I think the leaving
cert is the worst
thing to happen to
kids.
It's just so unfair.
Even if you're really
clever for the whole
year and then you
have to go in and do
those exams.
I know, they're
really tough.
You're a bit.
So this girl, she
goes, oh, and I
said when I originally
asked for stories
about exams, she
goes, do you mean doctor?
Anyway, she ended up telling me about a smear test, which, you know, wasn't really the memo, but everyone's right for me.
Get your smears.
She goes, I'm hoping you mean doctor exams or this is weird.
Anyway, the first time I had a smear, the nurse whacked out a poster of George Clooney and stuck it on the wall next to me head
and told me to look at it while she was doing the procedure.
What?
I don't know if the intention was for me to think it was him down there.
Anyway, it was weird.
Love the pot.
Oh my God.
I remember I was
getting a smear for
one of the first times
and they were like,
do you mind if the
student comes in
and watches?
And I was like,
well, I suppose
she's got to learn.
Three people walked in
so I had four people
standing there.
Yeah, four while I
was getting a smear test. Ah, come on now. That's like like an orgy that's a bit much it's a bit much it was it
was actually yeah the most people I've ever had a sexual experience with me in that room
and that is it for our main episode of My Therapist's Guestly. Thank you for listening
