Do we do an intro anymore? I can't even remember now. We do a little bit of a one.
We do a little bit of a one, but not... Joe used to put a lot of effort into that. Now that he's not here.
Emma is with us today. Joe's fucked off and got married. And Joe was really proud of that. You took it away from him.
It was too high energy.
I wouldn't cross, I wouldn't cross, Joanne. Whatever she says,
I'll just go for it. Go on.
It says you're one. Joanne,
you are the bossy one.
You're the dictator. You're the
you're the fuhrer.
Okay, fuhrer. Okay, Stalin.
Sure.
Shut up now. they're the only
dictators we know
we've run out
we can't keep
going with the
virus as well
no Saddam
Saddam
I can keep
going
come on bitch
Tony Blair
wasn't he one
Bertie
Bertie was our
dictator
no Charlie Hawley
was our dictator
we ran the country
into the ground
I'm quoting my mother
I wasn't alive at the time
but apparently that's what
happened
he loved a brain envelope but you what happened but I was alive but I wasn't involved in politics
he loved a brain envelope
but you know what
if I was a politician
I think I'd love a brain envelope
Jesus
Ireland was like
there was a storm in Easton
that's how stationary
shopping went
I have to go into
the cultural difference
there was envelopes
flying around the place
the country was built on them
do you know what
it would have been like
their communion day every day just being handed these envelopes left on who's. The country was built on them. Do you know what? It would have been like their communion day
every day
just being handed
these envelopes left on.
Who's going to say no to that?
You want to build there
in that lovely, stunning field?
Go for it.
Do it.
Cut those trees down.
Maybe that's why
Ireland was kind of
so acceptable of corruption
because we were watching
communions and confirmations
where people were handing out
money in envelopes.
We were raised on it
from children.
Do you get money for
you do get money for confirmations because i just gave my nephew money for his
confirmation so you get how much how much is it going right these days i gave him 50 that's a nice
number you have to be the same dance but now you can't ever go lower than that so if you see him
every few months you gotta hit him with a 50 well they they got very lucky the last day they came up
to the house and i'd had a couple of drinks and obviously because i'm not around and i'm not
around that much so when i'm there I overcompensate
so I walked the two of them
up to the ATM machine
and they cleared me out.
Never take them
to something like that.
I'm like,
remember this now,
okay?
It's your auntie Joanne.
It's 2022
and she's seven.
Okay?
I took my niece
shopping.
Now she's six
or seven.
It's Jeannie Seven.
She's seven.
And I took her shopping
and I was like,
Grant,
we'll go into Penny's. We'll go to Claire's Claire's accessories I swear to god she did me for 250 euro I thought
I'm never ever going shopping again how do you spend 250 euro in a Claire's accessories you
must need a van to get out well she took me into River Island and she wanted the grown-up jewelry
and I'm thinking and then I had to just stop her and I was like oh god they don't have your size and then I was like I'll be smart about it and I was buying her a dress for her birthday
then and I said I'll go on to next so I'll buy her a dress and I went on to next well she chooses
the dress it's 80 quid by the time we were finished I was back up at 180 again I was like
oh jeez Jeannie actually they don't have your size that's the only thing you can say listen
she didn't lick it off a stone folks she. She didn't lick it off a stone.
I've never known for you to go for the cheap option.
She knows she's getting it for free.
Why not?
Am I?
Of course she is.
Do you know who I'm surprised by?
Amber,
right?
She had that wedding.
Do you remember the wedding?
Yeah.
Did you see any of the videos from the wedding?
Well,
she was jumping into,
she showed me the one where she just handed someone a glass of champagne,
then just jumped into a bush.
In my dress.
So she chose two dresses of mine.
Now, I have loads of high street dresses that are absolutely amazing
and dresses from my collection that Joanne will never get her hands on.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck you.
I don't like, I don't want to wear a floral purse to lunch.
Thank you.
Look, look what I have today.
See?
This is my new messy nagle. name oh oh no but i am not getting
no you're no no no you can't now this isn't it's not like if you don't deserve me at my floral
you know if you don't what is the saying if you don't like me at my worst you don't deserve me
at my best if you don't like me in my floral um wraparounds you're not getting my lucy nagel club
that's not fair this is this I'm afraid no Lucy
would probably send you something anyway without my knowledge Amber anyway so she she borrowed
three dresses for the wedding all of which were over 300 pounds dresses that I looked after and
I really liked and then I see all these things of her jumping in a bush and then she waltzes out
with my yellow dress and there's all black all down the back foot after being washed.
And she's like, well, it's not my fault.
Someone obviously spilled a drink down the back of me.
I'm like, you're never touching my shit again.
Only Amber would wear a £300 dress to a wedding and come home with brambles in it.
Like, I've never known anyone else to come home with grass stains up the back of their dress.
What are you, 14?
Was it your debs?
Like, come on.
She does.
But I was kind of surprised at the stuff she was choosing. I like god she really does she has an eye on it she wouldn't go for
anything cheap and then for her birthday she took something else expensive I was like this isn't
gonna continue actually you're gonna have to go down the cheap route there in my wardrobe
she will not be wearing any of my expensive stuff when she's getting lily to the titty
because that's all she does it was the handing over of the glass of champagne.
It was the intention for me.
It was the like,
look what I'm about to do.
Look at me,
look at me,
like launch myself into a tree.
A grown woman at a wedding
just like launching herself
around the place.
And that was after her nap.
She woke up drunk
and then she went to sleep.
Yeah, well that happens.
That does tend to happen.
Yeah, it does happen.
Yeah, it hits you.
It's the gravity.
That wedding,
that wedding, I've never seen anything like it. People does happen. Yeah, it hits you. It's the gravity. But that wedding, that wedding,
I've never seen anything like it.
People were sent home
left, right and center
and they all just kept coming back.
They'd go home,
have a snooze
and try and come back
into the wedding.
But like the bride and groom
had to send people home.
I'd love to have gone.
It's right up my street.
It's the day drinking.
There's just...
It can be a bit much sometimes.
You missed, now,
another day drinking.
Go on.
It's two weeks in a row.
You've dumped me. You said you'd love to go day drinking with me. Dumped me. Go on. It's two weeks in a row. You've dumped me.
You said you'd love to go day drinking with me.
Dumped me.
You missed Amber's birthday.
Do you know what though?
Best decision I ever made.
So that was on the Sunday, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was the Sunday.
So on the Monday, I was back on the road again, going to Barcelona.
I'm in Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Newcastle, blah, blah, blah.
Then I'm going to Barcelona for a week.
So I had to pack for four days.
Like, do you know what I mean?
I had to pack for Newcastle and Barcelona in one day.
It took me all day.
And I woke up, no hangover on Monday.
It was the best decision I ever made.
And I had an audition that I had to practice for.
It was just, sometimes you just have to check out of this.
It's just not the time.
Well, I was very proud of you.
I think you did a good job.
Well done. I was jealous when i was in bits the next day in bits i was we were leaving the house at half seven in the morning and i woke up at 7 23 very unlike you
very unlike me whereabouts are you now i'm in edinburgh at the moment
edinburgh uh you went sorry you went up to meet deirdre without me the festival isn't
the festival isn't till august it's actually so nice being here and not being part of the festival
the festival is so bananas that it's so nice being in edinburgh for once where it's not i'm not
stressed i've got rosacea on my face i've got i've just performed surgery on my own kneecap and then my right knee isn't working
either it's there's something going on I am slowly slowly falling apart you're falling apart you still
have a chest infection you know what if you went to the doctor now it would be worth it with your
50 euro yeah think of all the things you could get sorted it's not that it's not that it's not
that I don't like going to the doctor I just I'm genuine I know people say this and I'm not being
overly dramatic I just don't have the time
at the moment
because I'm traveling
during the day
someone actually asked me
the other day
they're like
what's with all the little gigs
why not just do bigger gigs
and I was like
well because
the little gigs
they're not little now
but like the smaller gigs
I guess
were booked
just coming out of COVID
before people started
listening to the podcast
before we knew people
were listening to the podcast
so we just kind of
kept booking
because people were buying them
and then
it won't be happening again
it will build up
it fucking won't be happening again
I'll never gig like this again
I will never gig
everyone's probably like
she's so humble
look where she's gigging
I'm like
you wait
going into these smaller clubs
like I shouldn't even be here
it's a shit house
I just did the London Palladium
for fuck's sake
where are my confetti cannons here it's a show i just did the london palladium fuck's sake where are my confetti
cannons but it's actually you need to keep people happy so you need to be doing and like i'm not
happy with your level of work so i think that you should be doing like just do a peter k on it
did he not retire yeah he's coming back now do you see the places that he he does like or a michael
mcintyre i know but then those oh actually
that's a
it's a good little
inkling for me to say
I've put another
Apollo London date
that's on sale now
for fuck's sake
but
I don't mind the London ones
I don't mind the London ones
Emma
I took out my own stitches
last night
you're disgusting
took out my own stitches
I'm like
I was thinking
I was thinking
maybe that's my thing
firstly I'm now fiercely independent thinking, I was thinking, maybe that's my thing.
Firstly,
I'm now fiercely independent.
I don't even need
medical assistance now.
I can perform
tiny operations on myself.
I was like,
maybe that's my thing
as a comic now.
Be like an evangelical,
evangelical.
How do you pronounce it?
Evangelical.
Evangelical.
Evangelical.
Cut the ones where I can't.
Evangelical comic.
Do not cut the ones where she can't She comes across as too intelligent
Sometimes I don't like it
Evangelical comic
Where I go out and I do jokes
And then perform little tiny procedures on people
Like whip out their tonsils and stuff
Wouldn't that be great? Imagine that as a gig
I just go on stage with a mic and a little tweezers
and a sterile
nail clippers
can you imagine
the backlash
they'd be like
I went to Joanne's show
and she whipped out
my gallstones
without my consent
I was down in
Broke's Basin
to do the peloton.
And Theodore goes,
Joanne, why don't you have babies?
I was like, well, it's complicated, Theodore.
I was like, I just really haven't met anyone.
And my career is really, I'm just really busy at the moment with work.
And it's hard at my age, Theodore, because, you know,
I'm not as fertile as I once was.
Women really struggle.
But I have looked into freezing my eggs. That's something I'm not as fertile as I once was and women really struggle but I have looked
into freezing my eggs
that's something
I'm hoping to do
what else have you
been up to this week
oh well I'm going
I'm in Glasgow tonight
and then I am
officially on my
holidays
to Barcelona
to Barca
I'm going to Barcelona
tomorrow with my
travelling companion Fergal I think they call it I think they call it Barca well'm going to Barcelona tomorrow with my travelling companion Fergal
I think they call it
I think they call it Barca
well it's not
isn't the
isn't the nickname Barca
Barca
no it's Barca
well Barcelona
so it's Barca
no but it's not
you see you're wrong
it's Barcelona
but the nickname is Barca
oh my god
honestly
I was looking up
for pod stuff yesterday again
for once Joanne
was actually way more
organised than I was and I was having a nervous again for once Joanne was actually way more organised than I was and I was having
a nervous breakdown. For once? Excuse me?
Come on Joanne. You're no angel
Anyway go on. I'm the most
organised. She was more
organised than me yesterday and I'm looking through and I'm like god I really
want to talk about Kim and Pete being in London
but I can't because I keep bringing them up
I know we've done like we've rinsed the Kardashians
I can't stop myself. I will say though
that I do fancy
Pete a little bit
not
as much
right
Spenny and I were talking
the other day
and we were rating ourselves
do you ever rate yourself
out of 10
go on
no
well we were being honest
with ourselves
and very kind
to ourselves
we gave ourselves
a 7
right
or Spenny actually
was trying to say
he was a strong 8
I said no
you're a seven.
Yeah.
Because thinking about it, who's a 10 to you?
I guess Angelina Jolie is a 10.
She's the most beautiful woman.
She could be a 10 and maybe Charlize Theron is a 10.
Johnny Depp, when he was going out with Kate Moss,
I'm going to give him a strong nine.
But like to be a 10, you like to be a ten you have to be
like when
you just take
people's breath away
but
did you see Johnny Depp
when he went out
with Kate Moss
I know
he was a knockout
oh my god
I wouldn't have
wanted to go out
with him
time has not
been kind to Johnny
it doesn't
fill me with confidence
about my own future
to be honest
because I'm fond
of a mega pint myself
and like
you know what I mean?
You're going to have to start hitting the mega pints of vodka.
I'm sure I have a libel case and a defamation case in my future.
I've no, there's no doubt in my mind.
And I want to be mint when I rock into that course.
I have to say it's still, well, I don't know if I'd still go there,
but I still think he's, he's still a six.
He's a six.
He wouldn't be for me now.
He wouldn't be a six for you no
and that court case
is weighing on the two of them
like she is looking
drained as well
like she's looking
like she hasn't slept
she's got the big puffy eyes
I sent her some
bear by vogue serum
she'll be grand next week
thank god
I was going to suggest
why have you not got on that
it's such a clear opportunity
it's such an obvious opportunity so I'd like you to rate yourself now rate yourself on a good day when you not got on that it's such a clear opportunity it's such an obvious opportunity
so I'd like you to rate yourself now rate yourself on a good day when you've been on the when you've
been on the quavers and the vodka I well I have to say I do think I am going downhill I kind of
I was never really a looker I kind of I think I peaked at like 34 I was never looking then I
peaked at 34 and I'm kind of going downhill Again from that now As in
I have a kind of
A weird bloated face
At all times now
I look like I'm on
Steroids or antidepressants
And I'm not
The road has not been kind to me
The chicken vodka diet
Has not been kind
Like life on the road
Has not been kind
Like it's so hard
Like I'm eating out
Of petrol stations
I'm eating out of
Yesterday I had lunch Out of a Costa Do you know what I like, it's so hard. Like, I'm eating out of petrol stations. I'm eating out of, yesterday I had lunch out of a Costa.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, it's very difficult.
Gross.
And poor Garo's being dragged around for the ride too.
And then the second the train trolley hits that table.
I do love a train.
And are you getting the trains everywhere in England or no?
Getting the trains.
And they're always trying to upsell me.
I'm like, I have one bottle, one little quarter bottle of Pinot.
It's like three for 10, three for 10.
I'm like, stop it. And they, one little quarter bottle of Pinot. It's like three for 10, three for 10. I'm like, stop it.
And they always have quavers.
Anyway, whatever.
Oh yeah.
So I rate myself.
I would say it depends what you're looking for.
I would say when you're, when you, when you're not hung over, like, like when I saw your
birthday, I'm going to, I'm going to give you, if I'm a seven, I'm giving you at least
a seven.
But like on your birthday I thought whoa she's like
she's done a number on herself
she looks great
thank you
so thank you to all our face people
we really appreciate it
thank you to the team
we don't
the pod's not long enough
to list them
we'll just put their name
in the credits
we actually don't have time
we only have an hour to fill
we have to stop
shouting them out as well
I know
this isn't an aesthetics
podcast it should be plus as well like you'd swear we were like Joan Rivers do you know what I mean
what I was gonna say was it kind of depends what you're into I do feel like I've lost my mojo
though a little bit like I remember you know the way sometimes you'd walk in and you clock a guy
and you'd usually get a clock back yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. My clock backs are dropping in numbers.
It's true.
I have to say.
It's just life.
I know, but you said women in their 60s and stuff.
Well, maybe it was my mom.
They get ignored.
But I feel like it's already happening.
Oh, it's the invisibility theory that they feel like they've become invisible.
Yeah, I talk about it in the show.
Yeah, we're so old and battered.
Like, I was sitting with Benny's nieces yesterday
and I'm like, oh my God,
I'm actually your fucking auntie.
I'm their auntie.
And I feel like I should be the same age as them.
They look great, obviously.
Their skin looks like, oh, sickos.
So, holidays.
I am flying tomorrow.
I was originally flying from Bristol with EasyJet.
Have you seen the papers
I mean I wouldn't
like to be thank god I nearly booked
my EasyJet the other day
you'd be quicker literally getting
a license yourself like honestly
you'd be quicker training yourself up as a
pilot I reckon I could
fly a plane I reckon I could fly
it's not just a computer game I've watched enough air crash
investigation now bearing in mind air crash investigation. Now bearing in mind
air crash investigation
is when they crash and die
but it's basically
it's a computer.
You'd be like Sully.
Who's Sully?
Your man who
landed the plane
in New York
or Boston or something.
He landed a full like
jet
and saved everyone's life.
The landing
I mean the landing
is the issue
but I figure if I just
hover near the ground and
then use that inflatable slide why not if there's children on board they'd be only delighted give
them one of those baby-sized vodkas beforehand chuck them down they'd be absolutely thrilled
I prefer to get there and then take my chances at the end then not get there how are you going
to get there though what I was saying is get my own pilot license oh so you're actually okay yeah
like seven years the black box for memory we could just use your brain because
you don't forget anything i don't know if you're serious honestly pilots you're just bus drivers
with egos this is my new thing now it's like playing if you can play snake on a nokia you
can fly a plane as far as it's easy yeah you're just gliding along you're just gliding and while we're on the topic neurosurgeons you're
crap too neurosurgeons honestly harder to get a driver's license than a plane license you don't
have to reverse the plane around a corner you don't have to reverse it you don't have to you
don't have to stick your hand out and do the like you know the signs that you have to do yes yes
there's no signs there's no signs up in the sky.
You know what I mean?
There's no speed limit.
The wind just kind of takes you.
The wind decides your speed.
They've actually got it easier.
I've never thought about that.
You're dead right.
There's no teenager
going to nip out in front of you
on an e-scooter.
I'll tell you what,
I'm not saying thanks to the pilot
when he stands outside the cockpit
waiting for the thank you at the end.
I'm not doing it anymore.
I'm saying you're not getting a thank you. Is that the pilot? Yeah, the pilot. Well, some of them outside the cockpit waiting for the thank you at the end. I'm not doing it anymore. I'm saying you're not
getting a thank you.
Is that the pilot?
Yeah, the pilot,
well some of them now,
the ones that want a thank you
will pop out and be like,
that's very thirsty,
that is.
I'd be all over that.
I'm sorry now.
I'm not congratulating you
for playing Snake
for 40 minutes
while the wind glided us
from Dublin to Gatwick.
My only thing that would
help me back from being a pilot
is I have quite bad eyesight.
Right, and you need good
eyesight to be a pilot
which makes no sense to me.
How blind do you have to be
to miss like Milan?
Do you know what I mean?
Like it's huge.
Or like on the ground
you've those lads
with the little,
they look like they're
at a silent disco
with the glow sticks
and the earmuffs or whatever.
You've them to guide you whatever you've got to guide
you
you've got to guide
you down and all
piece of piss
come on
get over yourself
the air stewards
are doing more work
than the pilot
that's my new theory
honestly
don't get me started
on the air stewards
I love them
love them
so much
they bring all the goods
now
honestly though
how are you getting
to Barca
so we've we've changed it up we've changed it all up so we're flying I'm flying like early flight
from Glasgow to Dublin then spend the day in Dublin then fly out from Aer Lingus I know we
just had I just I need I was actually going to cancel the whole thing because I need these five
days I just want peace I just want peace I don't want to spend the day it's like it's the it's the stress it's like a it's like
apocalyptic scenes in airports now maybe the papers are seeing the scene in Dublin airport
to see me I know and a friend of mine was showing me pictures like Burger King and all or maybe it
was Bristol Burger King everything shut down because everyone else my God. It's absolutely mental. Aer Lingus won't let you down though.
Well, this is why
we've gone Aer Lingus.
Because we feel like
EasyJet are cracking at the seams,
like EasyJet are about to fall apart.
I would have always liked
an EasyJet flight.
I have to say,
before all this crap,
they'd never let me down before.
Where are all the people
that are meant to be flying us
around the place?
Where are they?
It's the security staff. They've
run out of staff because they let go of their staff during
lockdown and now they don't have them.
And they can't just rehire security. They have to train them. It's not
like taking a cashier off out of River Island
and putting them on the security desk in Dublin
Airport. They need to be trained.
So it's just because Heathrow Airport, you should have flown
out of there. There's no problems there.
Ever. It's a staffing issue.
I always get stopped at bloody airport security. Every single, there's never a staffing issue i always get stopped at bloody
airport security every single there's never a time i don't get stopped walking through
really is it because you're blinging is it because of the jewels are you bling blinging
in the machine no no i'm not that bling bling and i don't know what it is it's always just a
random check or something like that which yeah i have a look about me you don't have you don't
have a random Criminal look about you
No
And you know what
Actually one time
Do you know those people
Who get stopped
When you're walking back through
Always the green channel
Always the green channel
And you walk through
When you walk back through
With your bags
And you're going out
To depart
You're all for fun
Oh right yeah
You see people stuck there
And they've got all
Their suitcases open
And it's like
For a fight
I'd hate to have to do that
The one time Amber Right And if Amber tells me You see people stuck there and they've got all their suitcases open. It's like, I'd hate to have to do that.
The one time Amber, right?
And if Amber tells me to do something, I kind of just do it.
I don't want to be in trouble with her.
She asked me to bring a load of smokes home for her. Like more than I was allowed to bring home.
But I was like, I never get stopped at that place.
And the one time I got stopped and they're going through my bags of too many smokes.
They're taking my smokes off me Amber's smokes
and yeah
I was very disappointed about that
yeah there's a legal amount
but it's like 150 a person
but like they sell them in 200
so how does that work?
surely I think the way to speed up
airport security
is firstly
this is why
this is
Joanne
Joanne's
I've decided I can sort the whole thing out
go on how? it's time to get rid of the 100 mil rail it's absolutely outrageous oh I agree This is Joanne's. I've decided I can sort the whole thing out.
Go on, how?
It's time to get rid of the 100ml real.
It's absolutely outrageous.
Oh, I agree.
I'm not going to... Like, imagine being on a plane
and whipping out a lighter
and a bottle of NARS Foundation Beige
and being like,
no, no, no!
Like, I can't.
And I'm not going to be able to blow up a plane
with a tube of Labello.
I'm not MacGyver.
So can we just cut that shit as well?
Get rid of that
and particularly because
some people who've been travelling forever
have still not learnt that rule
so they spend hours at security
holding everybody up
putting their shit in a plastic bag
and getting their other shit taken off them
and whinging about it
that really annoys me
yeah women trying to like use
600 mils of creme de la mer
on their face
before they go through the airport because they're not willing to let it go.
They're passing it back.
I had a woman do that.
Do you want some hand cream?
I was like, yeah, fuck it, go on.
Also, if you're going to bring a bomb through the airport, like it's like anything when you go on holiday.
You assume that when you go to a destination, they won't have what you need.
It's like sun cream.
Buy your bombs there.
Just buy your bombs at your location.
They'll probably be cheaper.
They would be cheaper
depending on where you go it's like sun cream it's like shampoo just buy them there stop holding up
the queues so how else are you speeding us up then can you imagine a terrorist trying to take over a
flight from to ibiza not nobody move yeah not help nobody move shut up just the whole trolley of Not a help. Nobody move. Yeah, not a help. Nobody move. Shut up.
Just a whole trolley of drinks fucked up their heads.
I saw someone,
Evan Daugherty,
posted this video on a flight
and honestly,
it was terrifying.
They were having a full-on rave
on the flight.
Everyone was just standing up
in the middle of the aisles.
Everyone was down.
I'd hate that.
I'd feel really scared.
Do you remember me flying back from,
I think it was Glasgow
and it was one of the worst experiences
of my life.
And the poor air stewardess,
she didn't know what to do.
These elderly couple were like,
please make them stop.
They were banging the roof and all.
Oh my God, stop.
That's what you need to do.
Split up those flights.
So anyone,
lads going to a football match
or people going to Ibiza,
split them up,
put a couple of them
on every single flight of security.
Or dogs,
more dogs at security. I know loads of dogs not working would love to work
winston winston's losing the run of himself he'd love a job i think that would really spark him up
winston needs to be mentally stimulated he's losing his fucking mind put him on the security
checks please i think that's a great get him to work as well he's just been swanning around here
for 10 years doing fuck all.
On a jolly.
Someone actually messaged me
saying, you know the way
Winston followed you into the shower?
She was like,
you know, Winston's got dementia now.
No!
Because I thought he was just like
looking for somewhere nice to die.
I was like,
he just doesn't want to die alone.
That's why he's following me around.
No, it's dementia, I think. I was like he just doesn't want to die alone that's why he's following me around no it's
dementia I think I was looking uh online yesterday when I was not organized for the podcast and I saw
that do you remember the fashion brand Tammy girl I assumed you meant Tommy girl and I was like
Tommy girl never went anywhere but you said Tammy girl so I had to google him I've never
heard of Tommy girl and I had to I was like why haven't I heard
and then I realised
because as a teenager
I was so
uncomfortable
in my skin
Tammy girl
was kind of
a bit sexy
it was a bit cutesy
it was like
there was skin on show
and I wasn't
so I think
it's very indicative
to how we were different
as teenagers
because I was the one
wearing the parachute pants
the X the bit the
x-works the eclipse like dressed like a curtain bait like a floating head anything to cover this
body that I was so ashamed of having which is terrible at the time but anyway all the clothes
like a strong breeze I'd end up on the Isle of Man like I could literally have been taken off at any
stage now everyone went through the x-works phase you weren't cool if you didn't have like X-Works.
Was that a thing in England,
X-Works and Eclipse?
Yeah,
I don't know what those are.
It was
because I googled it
and they're on sale now.
All that X-Works,
Eclipse stuff.
It was the 90s rave culture.
Oh,
it was so good.
They're all in sale
on Depop now
for like six times the price
because they're now called vintage.
How old do you feel
vintage
I fucking
I know I'm old
do you remember
e-tonic as well
I remember Amber
made up a song
she used to make up
songs about stuff
do you remember
the brand e-tonic
there are a lot of
runners in the world
but most of all
I like e-tonic
e-tonic
Amber made that up
that was her song
I have no idea what what It was a 90s fashion
brand and Amber had songs about all of them. Oh, okay. No, I don't remember them either. I was
obviously very fucking out of the loop. What about Morgan? Remember Morgan? No. Joanne,
what about Miss 60? Yeah, I do remember Miss 60. But again, too tight for me. I was busy covering myself from scrutiny.
Literally drowning myself in layers and layers and layers of clothes.
But you know what as well?
Firstly, I was going to say, do you remember parachute pants?
Yeah.
I do.
I still have some pairs.
I was like, what a demotion for parachutes.
Wouldn't you be mortified?
Like one minute you're saving lives.
Next minute you're hanging
in the wardrobe
as a 14 year old girl
because she hates her ass
it's like using a defibrillator
as a backpack
these things have important jobs
also
do you know what
oh Vogue
so obviously I'm going
on my holidays right
so I need kind of an open
open shoe
like a summer shoe
oh no
no no no no
John you can't I'm not bringing the sandals back
are they done are you done with them are you never going to wear them again well of course
I'll wear them again it's fashion I'll wear them again in 20 years time and they come back in
fashion for the moment they're on ice much like my eggs on my face the sandals are on ice
I will miss the sandals though I want to have one day
where you wear them out
of course I will
throwback
I will do a photo shoot
in them
yeah
throwback Thursday
I'll stick ice cream
crowns in them
and still look like Sarah
I'll be like great
I'll be like oh my god
they look spectacular
but so I was in
a shoe shop here in Edinburgh
and I was having
a little look around
and I swear
do you know
what a hard time
I've given Crocs
in the past
I know I'm into Crocs too.
I was like, Joanne, you're pathetic.
There was a pair of lime Crocs,
and just because they've been presented to me now,
and they've been worn around by cool people,
I've been brainwashed.
I almost bought them, and I was like,
this is actually embarrassing how easily brainwashed I am.
If Cara Delevingne Lottie Moss Kate Moss
wear anything if they could wear they could wear my ex-boyfriend's head as a shoe and I'd be like
I take them back I've made a huge mistake wasn't it wasn't it Justin Bieber who did a collab with
Crocs I think that's where I saw it and I was like I want a lilac croc I'm pretty sure Gucci
have done a collab with Crocs they really I don't like they've done it's a it's amazing what they've done. The level of comfort, Joanne, in a croc.
I doff my cap to crocs.
I do.
What they've done,
I don't know if any brand has ever done it before,
bar maybe Ryanair has pulled themselves back
from the brink like that.
Uggs.
Uggs also pulled them.
When they got Cher on board,
everyone wanted an Ugg.
My wardrobe is filled with Uggs now
yes
who else has done
a huge turnaround
like Crocs
it's like they've made
smoking cool
like it's unbelievable
what they've done
it's like bringing
smoking back
who else has made
a comeback
I'm trying to think of brands
loads of them have made
a comeback
do you know what I saw as well
which I found interesting
Winona Ryder
who's a Ryde
she is modelling for Marc Jacobs
and like 20 years ago she was caught nicking clothes from the Marc Jacobs shop and I thought
what a 360 it's I think it's 180 not to correct you but yeah yeah I think it is
emo emo if you're cutting her stupid thing out come on yeah it's 180 it's 180 I thought it was
amazing I was like go you look at nicking 180. I thought it was amazing. I was like, go you. Look at, nicking
from them 20 years ago.
So I was thinking, we should start
stealing from Chanel
and Gucci 20 years time.
We'll get ourselves a campaign.
It's such a good idea.
I'll just
walk back up to Edinburgh High Street and nick those
lime Crocs. Get up there now
and nick them. But like speaking of dictators,
what Crocs have done,
it's literally like
us thinking,
kind of buying into
Saddam Hussein again,
what they've done.
Like they were the worst brand.
They were the most disgusting brand.
They had absolutely no,
they had no street cred.
They were just worn by
these poor, sad nurses at night.
You were doing night shifts.
Actually, you know what?
Thinking of ugly shoes
and I bought the ugliest
pair of runners the other day
and I had to really rush
to buy them
because they'd just come back
in stock.
New balance.
And they're like
what you would imagine
like a 60-year-old
American man wears around
to do shopping and stuff
and everyone can't
get enough of them.
I'm not big into them now.
But I know,
I've seen them everywhere.
They're like,
they're pride of place
in the shoe shops now
with the Crocs.
Yeah, and as well, by the way, Crocs are the first shoe we've agreed on what yeah they're
the first shoe what I said I almost I did not actually purchase them because I was like that's
too embarrassing I didn't purchase the lilac ones either and And even I got Gigi a pair and Theodore a pair.
And when I see them going around them, I'm like, not great.
You don't look great in them.
No.
Even they can't pull them off.
No.
The 90s fashion that I don't want to come back to.
Remember those low, do you remember the low jeans where basically your entire pelvic floor
was on show above the line?
Do you remember them?
Yeah, because mine were like practically around my knees. floor was on show above the line and you do you remember them yeah
because mine were like
practically around my knees
the low rise jeans
that were so low
like you could have
actually just had a
smear test done
without even taking
your jeans
like without even
unbuttoning a single button
they were so low
John and I were bitching about you this morning oh it was Joanne and I were
bitching about you
this morning
Oh it was
Joanne and I
were bitching about you
this morning
I was like
don't be telling
Emma we were
bitching about her
she doesn't need
to know that
Emma I love
that we've stolen
Emma did you see
how disgusted
Spencer was
I know
not happy about it
There's a pub
in Battersea that absolutely fascinates me called the asparagus yeah I know
it I know it I just I like the name the location the vibe the look so there's a difference in my
there's shithole English pubs are different to shithole Irish pubs. Oh yeah.
Shithole English pubs have carpets in them.
They have game machines,
like,
you know,
kind of,
what are they called?
Pinball machine.
What are they called?
Fruit machines.
Fruit machines.
Exactly.
So they have carpets,
fruit machines.
Shithole Irish pubs have like no soft furnishings,
no windows,
no women.
That's kind of the difference between,
but the asparagus,
it's a Wetherspoons,
but because Battersea is kind of like gentrified
and kind of up and coming and all that jazz,
it's like Wetherspoons went,
okay,
it's usually they're called like the duck and chicken
or something.
They're like,
what do the cool kids,
they're vegan now.
So we're going to call it the asparagus.
It's just so random. Like call it the asparagus. It's just so random.
Like call it the smashed avocado.
At least that makes sense.
Smashed is another word for pissed.
It's a nice looking pub though.
Well, I think we should go there
because I walk past it all the time
on my way down to live my life
partly in your basement.
And there's always this eclectic group
in the beer garden.
There's like old men, do you know what I mean?
Who are there like every day.
His wife died 60 years ago.
And then there's little gangs of like kind of girls with their Gucci glasses.
And the great sense of community, the asparagus.
We have to go there.
And if it's only a walk down the road from my house as well, I'm in.
Did you know I used to work in a Wetherspoons?
No.
Yes, you'd never have guessed it I know they honestly
paid me nothing
to be there yeah it was very
you wouldn't get a lot of money and
great crack
yeah I'd say it's great crack
but I wouldn't have thought of them as big payers now
I mean you can eat
you could get pissed there for an entire day on 20 quid
I know I wouldn't be mad for eating
the food there if I'm honest
a lot of microwaving
goes on
the food is so strange
it's like they cook it
and then they
they take a tray
and flatten it
and then send it out
it's like they
it's like flat pack food
that they just didn't
build
it's very strange
it's like those
rotten
like you get those
rotten cheese sandwiches
that you get on the plane
what was the one I got
is it Jet Blue
or something
and they brought this
like this
toasty over to me
and it was lit
and like I'll eat any old shite
I actually will
but like just
this toasty
slipping off each other
rotten
you couldn't
no
I'm the only person I know
who likes it
this is very airplane heavy
but I'm the only person I know
who likes airplane
I love airplane food
no way
in business maybe
I've never flown business have
you not no well I haven't flown it that much with the time my dream holiday is if somebody
lets me get on their plane in first class and I literally just like I'll fly to Perth
17 hours and I'll just fly straight back once I can be in first class that would be a fantastic
holiday I remember when I was flying to Adelaide to do the fringe over there I hadn't flown long haul in so long
that when I got on the plane
I was like oh my god this looks amazing
like there's these like little booths
and everything's there's loads of space
and not realizing they walk you through first class
it's so mean
it's so mean
like surely there's a back door
you can bring us in through
do you know what I mean
it's like
there literally is a back door yeah the walk of shame through like the first class people
drinking their prosecco but they even do that they even do that on like flights back to Dublin
and you're just like hello hello yeah I wouldn't pay it to Dublin no way well I'm flying I'm doing
uh shows in Dubai in January and I'm doing shows in Australia next year and I'm going to fly business class.
Oh,
with Emirates or Etihad,
Etihad,
whatever it's called.
Oh,
well,
that's like,
like,
I know you're staying in Dubai,
but I'd hit the lounge before you leave the airport.
Oh my God.
Really?
It's like,
honestly,
it's,
you're going to have
the time of your life.
I'm bringing the road with me,
but he's going to,
I'm putting him in carriage.
Bye.
Do you know what?
Like when,
Spenny and I,
if we would fly to St. Barts,
we'd always fly home business
because it's a night flight.
Now we've got Gigi and Theodore
and they would have to be
put in business.
I was only talking to him yesterday.
I was like,
obviously we're not flying business.
And he was like,
no,
like you have to pay
a full price for them.
Jesus.
But you don't just check them in
and then collect them off the carousel
like I'm going to do it with a rose.
I think it's,
yeah,
I'm just wondering what age
I can just fling them
in the back on their own.
Four?
Strap them.
Like,
put Gigi back in.
Like,
mule her.
Don't need that seat to stay right there.
Mule her.
Wrap her in a condom
and put her back.
Swallow her.
Like, just go
full Michaela McCollum on it.
I only just heard that.
Absolute sicko. Bye.
