So I'm home.
I'm absolutely thrilled to be back.
I had a great holiday, obviously,
but they broke me finally on the way home.
Like, spending the whole trip was like,
how are you not, like, going mad?
Because Otto would say my name
about 300 times a day.
And I was like, I just don't really hear it.
I don't hear the constant screaming at me.
I don't realize I'm carrying him all the time.
On the flight home, they got me
and I cried in the toilet.
Good for you.
Good for you.
I was in the toilet with Otto
because I couldn't go anywhere without him.
And I was like, please sleep, Otto, please.
You finally joined the mild cry club
that I've been in for many, many, many years.
All I do is cry in the sky.
Well, I don't think I've quite joined your club.
I'm going to be brave enough to do it in public the next time.
I had to go and hide in the toilet to do it, but I should have just done it.
And maybe someone would have taken them off my hands and got them to sleep for me.
Oh, yeah.
I sob openly in my seat.
I have no shame.
I don't know.
Women have messaged me before saying they have a similar issue. Oh yeah, I sob openly in my seat. I have no shame. I don't know. Like I've discussed,
so women have messaged me before
saying they have a similar issue.
So I've coined it now,
the Malcri club.
It's like,
it's like,
I think it's so,
you have a lot of time to think up there.
Obviously it's the gin.
Okay.
But park that.
It's,
I'm not,
but I do tend to get a little philosophical in the sky.
I, you see see I'm too busy and concerned at how the plane
got to that height with all of the weight
on it and I'm like I didn't tell you
actually when I was flying to
when we were flying to Zanzibar
I had a full on meltdown on that flight
like I was convinced
we were going to die
I just was like I was holding we were going to die and like I just was like
I was holding on to Otto's leg
I was crying
and then I was obviously
frightening a girl
two rows back
because we kept looking
at each other
and her face
and I was like
oh my god
she thinks we're going to die too
was it the turbulence
or was it
like why did you think
you were going to die
I felt like we went up
and I felt like
we came back down
and we did slightly
go back down and the air hostess then disappeared down the back of the plane I was like all right
she's gonna go look after herself there's obviously a parachute back there she doesn't give a shit
about us haven't seen her since but it was because it was the way it was turning it felt like we had
gone down yeah and then I took I have to be honest I took half as annex on the flight and the long
haul flight because I had to because I think that's just what I'm gonna have to be honest, I took half a Xanax on the flight and the long haul flight because I had to.
Because I think that's just what I'm going to have to do now on flights.
It's got to be because I'm really getting to the point where I'm starting to make everyone feel uncomfortable.
And I don't think that's fair.
I have a friend who's terrified of flying, so she heavily medicates herself to do so.
So going on holidays with her is quite difficult because it takes her a couple of days to kind of come back to like reality for the
medication to leave her system so we're just kind of dragging around from restaurant to bars
and then by the time she comes fully back to herself it's time to go home I'm like I don't
know why you're other but I've always said to myself who I have juicy conversations with I'm
so glad I don't have a fear of flying because it is if you let it in it's it's it's very debilitating
because especially
because i fly a lot for work i'd be i'd be constant i'd be in a constant state of fear
i my theory on it is when it's your time it's your time also they do say the brace position
is actually designed to kill you quicker that's what i heard no it is not it's on my on my forums
that i read regularly yeah Yeah. Some say conspiracy.
I say truth tellers.
The bracing position is apparently supposed to break your neck so you die quicker.
It's kind of like putting down a chicken, I guess.
I would just like to tell everyone that don't please take everything Joanne says with a pinch of salt.
This is not true.
I read it on conspiracy now.
Okay.
I don't know how you can dispute that.
It's going to come to a point in Joanne's life
where you're not actually going to know
what's real or what's fake.
We've got to be really careful
about your conspiracy shit.
I know.
I'll be like,
Vogue, I saw your sex tape
and frankly, it was comical.
Now, I wouldn't.
Well, Joanneanne I saw yours
and it looked like you were asleep.
You were.
I was actually writing
I was actually writing
stand-up right this other day.
I was like if I did a sex tape
they'd be like
oh the screen is frozen.
No that's me.
Just lying there
getting serviced.
Why is she only frozen
and he's still moving?
There's a glitch in the screen.
I wanted to tell you
some plane facts
that I read the other day
that I thought were really good
because we just started
talking about planes.
Okay.
In 2003,
two men stole
a parked Boeing 727
and flew into the sunset
and they were never found.
How the fuck can you not find
a Boeing?
Where's it gone?
It probably just fucking fell apart in the sky
like the rest of them. Was this like a
stag gone awry or something? What's this?
Do you mean they never found them? They just
took off and the plane never landed and
they never reappeared? No, they obviously know
about planes because they stole the plane. They must
have just thrown the black box out and been like,
let's take this plane. But where are you?
How are you going to get used to that Boeing?
Can you throw a
oh it's probably a
bar it's probably a
pop-up bar in
Glastonbury
or do you know
where do you know
I bet you they've
used it as um
it's probably a
accommodation in
Burning Man
that's what it is
or well it probably
sells pizza in
Clapton or something
like that
yeah yeah yeah
I think it's in the
common actually
they sell baby
baby cappuccinos
here's a scary one right
an aero flight
A21 crashed
because the captain
was drunk
and he killed 88 people
I will say again
from my inside scoop
into the world of aviation
which I
I do have a direct line
but I can't reveal my sources
pilots are absolute piss heads
okay well what I will say
about pilots
right
that guy was pissed
he killed 88 people
what about Denzel Washington
what about Denzel Washington
who was pissed
and saved everybody
no it's not
remember
that thing
yeah
he drove it into
he landed in the Hudson
was that it
yeah so you
that was Tom Hanks
landed it in the Hudson
Denzel Washington
does it upside down
then he pops it upside down, doesn't he?
Pops it upside down.
Oh, well, I was confusing the two, but anyway.
Anyway, he saved lives while drinking,
which I think is the important takeaway here for us.
So you've got a pro and you've got a con.
You've got the guy who couldn't handle his drink
and you've got the guy who could handle his drink.
Don't throw the baby out with the vodka, is the lesson.
Yeah, the bathwater, the vodka.
And do you know what?
Denzel
probably
or the man
that he played
like I'm not advocating
drink flying
obviously.
Fly responsibly girls.
But
maybe
the couple of drinks
gave him the confidence
to flip the plane
upside down.
That's
do you know what?
I'm actually not going to
disagree with you there
but I would prefer if my pilot was sane and also sober. the plane upside down. Do you know what? I'm actually not going to disagree with you there.
But I would prefer if my pilot was sane and also sober.
Sane and sober are the way that I like them.
Ideal.
Yeah, same, same, same.
I like my pilots like I like my children.
Yeah.
Yeah, sane and sober.
Yeah, sober and sane.
Sober.
Yeah, sober.
So Joanne, I have decided to bite the bullet and I'm going to go for one of those tests for ADHD.
One of the really long ones though.
I don't know how I'm going to get through six hours of tests,
but I'm going to go and do it.
Yeah, I did contact a clinic and then,
I'm not even joking when I say I just lost interest and didn't go.
But I had I had an appointment and everything and they wanted to speak to my mother.
So I was trying to groom her for the interview.
Well, Spenny's obviously already had it, so he has it.
But Spenny's gone in my bad books at the moment.
And I want your I want your opinion on this.
OK, so so I do most of the stuff with the kids as you know and when we were away we had
the three kids spenny's parents were there so they helped out a little bit but you can't be expecting
them to do everything so anyway we are flying home so we did our first five-hour flight and then we
had a stopover in dubai and spenny was going to jordan spenny had decided and then i had a like i
had a seven-hour flight and a basically two- hour trip home with the kids so nine hours with the kids on my own uh and uh and Spenny we got we got to Dubai airport and
Spenny's like oh I'm really tired I was like yeah me too yeah I only got two hours sleep on the
plane so like we're all tired and he's like no but I'm really tired and my flight to Jordan isn't
very long so like I'll only get like three hours sleep or something like that I was like yeah well
I'm um playing with all the kids so I will probably get less than that. So Spencer decided that on our stopover, I haven't even told him about this yet.
I'm saving it.
I decided on our stopover home that he was going to sleep for an hour and a half in the chair while I ran around after the kids and then got on a flight with them and then flew home.
Who was right in this situation?
Jo and Joanne.
Well, I'm OK.
Jo, I know you agree with me.
I saw it by your nod and you agreed.
Joanne, I know that you'll always have Spencer's back.
I can't understand it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I like to ride a fine line.
But I keep the two of you happy
so that I'm still free to come and go
as I please in the house.
Well, I think that's actually quite clever of you.
Isn't it?
You should probably go into politics.
You Tory witch.
I've called you a Tory witch before.
I do love it.
I'm still completely confused as to what that is,
but I like it.
It has a ring to it.
It's something to do with Lawrence Fox.
Is that right?
Is that right, Jo?
Just because we're in an election period,
we'll also joke that Joanne Is a Labour voting
Green voting, Reform voting
Lib Dem voting
Ah Jo come on we're not political
We don't give a shite
Do we need to
Cover all bases here?
Are we being financed by the British government?
What's happened here?

Speaking of getting snubbed
When Boris didn't invite us to that session
Yeah
Have you heard the latest
Have you heard about the Pope
I did hear about the Pope
Because you sent it to me
Jo did you hear about the Pope
I'm absolutely fuming
He's invited a few comedians over
He's invited a few comedians over To do't he? He's invited a few comedians over
to do some sort of corporate in the Vatican.
I don't know what the details are.
And I am not on the list.
Joanne, I didn't know.
Patrick Healty.
Whoopi Goldberg went.
Jimmy Fallon.
Chris Rock.
Stick to the Irish ones, Jo.
Stick to the Irish ones.

but stick to the Irish ones, please.
Conan O'Brien is not Irish
He's not an Irish name though
He looks Irish
He looks Irish
He's fake
Oh Ardell O'Hanlon
Is on the list I think
Yeah
Ardell O'Hanlon
Who starred in
A blasphemous TV show
Called Father Ted
Okay
Are you telling me
Are you telling me
That you would actually
Get in a plane
And go over to see the Pope
You would
In your arse
You're only annoyed Because you weren't invited plane and go over to see the Pope. You would in your arse. You're only annoyed
because you weren't invited.
No, you...
Sorry, a collab with the Pope.
Tommy Tiernan's in on it.
Tommy's in on it.
Of course he is.
He left you...
He dropped you like a hot snot
after Dubai, didn't he?
He never mentioned that
in Abu Dhabi
that he was off to the Vatican.
Kept that to himself.
Shocker.
Just so you know,
I was invited as well
but I actually declined.
I said, no thanks. I'm really busy that day. Just so you know, I was invited as well, but I actually declined. I said, no, thanks.
I'm really busy that day.
Of course you were invited.
Yeah, I was.
Well, if the Pope's listening to this, which I'm sure he is,
just know that I'm always the one who puts the baby Jesus in the manger on Christmas Eve in my family house.
And from now on, I will not be doing that.
Do you want to say, here, listen, I'll remember that.
Threaten the Pope, go on'll remember that threaten the Pope go on
am I threatening the Pope now
yes I am actually
I'll remember that
we will remember that
baby Jesus is going to stay in the box
and you've no one to blame but yourself
and I'm not going to Mass anymore
ever again
not even the next time I get married
I'm not going to Mass
not even yeah
she's going to get married
at Stonehenge like a pagan bitch
and no one's going to put you around
Hi Vogue and Siobhan
I've just been to a wedding with my husband
and I'm fuming
it was a wedding for his husband and I'm fuming.
It was a wedding for his friends, so I didn't really know anyone anyway.
But I didn't see him all night.
He was around working the room and talking to at least three women he used to date.
He drank... Oh yeah, I know.
Well, you see, I can't actually get annoyed by things like that
because Spencer has dated everybody in London.
So if I started getting annoyed by one it would just be like endless.
He drank fucking loads
because I said I'd drive home
and on the way home
he just kept talking
about this one woman.
They were at uni together
and how cool she is.
Make no bones
I feel jealous and pathetic
because I feel like
watching him that night
he came alive
like I haven't seen in ages.
The last time he made that much effort with me we hadn't had sex in 10 months after having a baby and he was just desperate for so to start shagging again I get that a marriage changes over time but
it's the first time I felt like his heart just isn't in it anymore oh no I just okay let me
finish it and then just before we got married eight years ago together for 12,
he was having an emotional affair
with a woman he works with.
I believe him
that it wasn't physical
but that's the history.
Please tell me
I'm just being stupid and jealous
because at the moment
I feel like it's over.
Anon, please.
I honestly,
this is how I feel about it
and I suppose
that you're probably
not feeling great
at the moment
about yourself anyway. So I think that he went to that feeling great at the moment about yourself anyway
so I think that he went
to that wedding
and it's just loads of people
he hadn't seen before
if he was drinking
he was probably trying
to show off a little bit
like when you're on your own
like when you're with
somebody all the time
you do get used to them
but like I feel like
when you're on your own
it's nice to get
a little bit of attention
like everybody does it
it's normal
a bit of peacocking
I call it
yeah
you're kind of showing you yeah you're
ruffling your feathers uh yeah I agree I I see it from both sides yeah I understand why okay I would
date with a guy before and it was a similar situation we were going out a couple of years
and then we would go to events and there would be women there and he would like that peacock And he would be making them laugh
And he would be kind of flirting
And I would be getting really annoyed
And really angry
But what I realised was
That's just who he is
So it just doesn't suit me
To go out with someone like that
Because I felt
And we broke up anyway
It was kind of
It was on the rocks a bit as well
I'm not saying this woman's marriage is on the rocks
But also you do get so used to your partner
when you're out with other people.
It's like that thing, when you're going out with someone,
you always have that one friend there that you're like,
oh, maybe I should be riding them
because you get on with them so well
because there's no, there's no, there's no,
like jeopardy there.
You can just safely kind of flirt and hang out and get on.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't even think, like, I'm trying to,
because the way I explained that with Spencer probably wasn't right.
So, like, I'm not saying that Spencer goes out when we're, like,
he's done it once when we're, like, together and he's kind of, like, just kind of ditched me.
And I'm like, hello, like, I'm still here.
And I was like, don't be doing that when I'm with you,
going around showing off.
But, like, you do, like, it's nice to go out
and feel like you're, like, on your own
and you're just kind of your own person for a while.
Because when you're married, you're so insular together. Yeah. And when you're like on your own and you're just kind of your own person for a while because when you're married you're so insular together
yeah
and when you're
and I would
I just
I don't think I'd be worried
about the fact that he did that
I think that's completely normal
he made her feel a bit boring
yeah
she was like
oh do I kind of bore you
that you're
you're coming alive
around these other people
who also happen to be women
which is a little unfortunate
because then you're feeling
quite territorial about it
yeah
but like
surely in a marriage that is kind of what happens like also happen to be women, which is a little unfortunate because then you're feeling quite territorial about it. Yeah. But like,
surely in a marriage that is kind of what happens.
Like,
you need,
do you know what you should do?
Leave him for a little bit.
No.
Don't.
I,
and then,
no?
No,
I would say,
just,
I'd say it to him.
I'd be like,
I get that you want to like,
you want to feel like,
like you're,
you're like,
you're fun and blah, blah, blah.
We've been together for so long.
But just be really present when I'm with you.
Remember that I'm there.
Let's have fun together when I'm there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have seen it, though.
I've also been on the receiving end of it. I was at a wedding once and there was a man there, a husband.
He was just kind of like, you know, wooing the lady.
He was having a great time
With all the single girls
At the wedding and stuff
And I could tell his wife
Wasn't that impressed
And it was a bit awkward
But
I think sometimes
People just behave like that
Particularly at weddings
They're kind of hyper
Everyone's dressed up
Yeah
They're seeing people
They haven't seen in years
They're
Kind of nostalgia
They're going over
All stories
And I have to be honest
You kind of like And this I'm not trying to be mean To you at and I have to be honest you kind of like
and this
I'm not trying to be mean
to you at all
but I think that
when you go to like
like I don't ever want to feel
like I'm looking after somebody
do you know what I mean
like let's say you and I
went out together
do you know what I mean
like you're kind of like
a social butterfly
so like we'll go out together
and if we're at an event together
we might like disperse for a while
but like you don't want to feel
like you're looking after
somebody at an event
that's why we don't
that's it yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah but I have
like I say
I've been on the
receiving end of
feeling like that
having a boyfriend
who when we went out
I was the least
interesting thing
in that room to him
and it was
you know
it was a tough pill
to swallow at the time
it made me feel like
a piece of shit
it's not nice
if it happens all the time
I will agree with you
no
and that's why
I think you should say it
fake leave
fake leaving
is always an option
don't take anything big
you know you're coming back
couple of pillows
some cutlery
but like it doesn't
sound to me like
the marriage
like she's saying
that the marriage is over
it doesn't sound like that
to me now
now we don't know
what else is going on
but that's
I mean I wouldn't
leave a marriage first,
but listen, I've never been married.
Folks, they're professional here.
I don't think that there's,
the necessity to fake leave
is just a bit annoying.
Like if you have to pack a bag for him,
then you're going to probably
have to put the stuff away
because you packed the bag.
There's a lot of shit around that.
Like I just,
I just have a little chat with him.
But I might fake leave Spencer
after the Dubai incident
once he knows about it.
I do feel like when people have kids,
the fight for sleep is a very real thing.
And also, I've spoken to friends before
who said that one of my friends
said she was going to leave her husband
when the babies first arrived
because they were so sleep deprived.
They were killing each other.
Like, killing each other.
Like, sleep deprivation, that's what they do in Guantanamo other. Like killing each other. Like sleep deprivation.
That's what they do in Guantanamo Bay.
It's actually torture.
I was.
I was thinking about that on the flight.
And I was like, imagine like being sleep deprived for like three days where you literally get not even a wink of sleep when they're torturing you.
It would just be awful.
Oh, it would be so bad.
If I had a baby, I would literally shoot it out of the canal and then hand it to the wet nurse and be like, take it to boarding school.
When it's in a pattern, bring it back.
That's what I would say.
Please take my baby.
I'd actually, I'd wake up to the sound of crying downstairs.
I'm like, what is that noise?
Joanne will have just, she'll have let herself in, left the baby there and all.
There's a newborn baby under the peloton. what is that noise? Joanne will have just, she'll have let herself in, left the baby there and all of a sudden, like, oh.
There's a newborn baby
under the peloton.
Does anyone know
where that came from?
Sorry, Vogue,
I'm off to New York on tour.
Bye.
I'm just sneaking off
in an Uber.
