this is the extra helping of my therapist ghosted me and we have got some great emails from you guys
as always always bringing the good emails let's see right joanne i'll let you choose again
ah we know which one we want come on it's i'm gonna go vogue i'm gonna go for number two i'm
gonna go for men are lying bastards ping ping Hi ladies I've picked up on the
Men are lying bastards thread
In the past few weeks
And wanted to offer my input
Until last year
I'd been married to my husband
For six years
All was fine
As far as I thought
Oh no
As far as I thought
We still had sex
We still said
I love you every day
It was great
I'm a nurse
And often working night shifts
But one night
I just felt rotten
I developed a bit of a cough
And took a COVID test You can guess the rest I went home. It was in the middle of
the night so I thought I'd be creeping in and trying not to wake him. I parked the car, got out
and saw the bedroom lights come on. I assumed he'd heard me and wondered why I was home. Went in,
walked up the stairs and saw the loft ladder was down. I asked him why the hell he was messing in
the loft at two in the morning and he said he was just sorting some bits out. It seemed odd that he'd be sorting bits out in the loft stark bollock
naked but whatever. The whole thing stank. I went up the ladder and found a scantily clad woman in
my loft. My question is what the fuck he thought his next move was going to be that night. Close
up the loft and leave the poor lass up there.
Christ.
Anyway, divorce is all done
and I'm happier
than I've ever been in years.
I'm seeing a guy from work
and I'm loving life.
Oh, that makes me feel sad,
but also very happy for her.
Yeah, that's like there's
I mean, it's a great story.
Firstly, I mean, that woman
I'm actually gotten away
with it.
She would have found a cadaver
in her loft
20 years later
just the skeletal
body of a woman
who was left to die
in the roof
of some man's house
because he can't
keep a dick in his pants
a mummified
yeah a mummified
woman in a fucking
lingerie
covered in a suitcase
oh like I
like
it just I just don't get it I don't get things like that because I, like it just, I just don't get it.
I don't get things like that.
Cause I'm like, you're, you're in a marriage.
Why do you have to be so mean to her to do that?
Why can't you just say I'm not happy?
And I want to, I want to get out of the marriage instead of being selfish and eating all the
cake for yourself.
But Vogue, that is like the Anne and Barry version of a marriage.
Anne and Barry, Jo, for, um, for you, it's like our school books.
Do you know what I mean?
It was like 2.4 families, you know, Anne and Barry.
Yeah.
Like, that's not how relationships work, Vogue.
It's way more.
I know.
And that's why the lies and all, like, I'm only having the crack with it.
I know.
I was called a misandrist during the week because, well, I was, whatever, it doesn't matter.
There's some article about me not liking men. I adore men, as we know. I'm called a misandrist during the week because well I was whatever it doesn't matter there's some article about me
not liking men.
I adore men
as we know.
I'm fucking hooked on them
and women cheat
and women lie too.
Relationships are very complicated
and very nuanced
and no one knows
you know what I mean?
People cheat for all sorts of reasons
and
I would like to throw in here
I've talked to you about this
I'm obsessed with this woman
called Esther Perel
who wrote this book called
Made in Captivity
which is fascinating
and she does this amazing tag talk
it's got 10 million views or something
you should watch it
anyway
but the lies
I mean
it's just
it's the creativity
you almost respect it
it's absolutely hilarious
imagine the indignity though
of going over for some hot sex with some man
you've probably been
you know
flirting with them for ages
it's been building it's been building
and then you end up naked in
his attic getting stung by
his wife oh god
just desperate affairs I think they sound
more glamorous than they actually are
anyway I had an absolute ball with this so
this was this started because there was
um uh there was
like a meme going around during the week
about a woman who found a bra
in her husband's suitcase or her boyfriend's suitcase
and he said it was from when he was fat
that he had tits
and that he keeps the bra to remind
himself of how far he's come
and then
women just kind of weighed in then
with all their own examples
they were so funny, that's a good lie
it's brilliant, it's absolutely brilliant
and then there was another one
you see I don't know
if they're true
who cares
where she found heels
under his bed
and he said he uses them
to change the light bulbs
because he's too short
to reach the light himself
my ex
so loads of women
around here
started messaging these in
there were so many of them
here are some of them
my ex took his wedding ring
off on a lads night out
because he said
it scared the women away and how when I got back from home there was a woman in our bed and he said she was
tired and I shouldn't overthink things this one says that oh sorry love yeah don't overthink things
one girl sent me an actual screen grab of a message a guy sent her
he said she's like one guy cancelled on me because he said he had the opportunity to watch a kidney
transplant and I was like what so she sent me the message hey just been given the chance to go watch
a kidney transplant starts at half one and can take anywhere between four and seven hours I'll
try let you know what's going on but but when I can but it may affect our plans and she wrote that
is the most elaborate excuse I've ever heard in response to him.
I'm guessing he was a doctor.
I don't know.
Otherwise, it's really, really weird.
I once didn't hear from my boyfriend for five days and he told me he'd driven over a SIM card.
I'm sorry.
Are we living in the 1930s?
Just a SIM card as well, not the phone.
My ex told me, this is the best one my ex told me the reason he cheated on me was because his ex accused him of emotional abuse
and he had to have sex with her to prove he was a nice guy oh gross here's another my ex spent 13
grand in one night in a brothel and told me he just paid for everyone else in there including
strangers to do stuff while he just sat in the lounge and had a drink.
13 grand?
Oh my god.
Do you know what?
That's some top tier brotheling.
I have to, I believe
a little bit of that, a portion of that.
Because you can't, you couldn't possibly spend
13 grand a night on your own
you'd be wrecked
your dick would fall off
I know like
I don't know
I've never been to a brothel
but
13 grand
does seem like a lot
it's also a lot of
this is like the story
I told you the story
about my friend
was going out with this guy
and she stung his phone
he'd been
ordering sex workers
to his room
and then he told her
that he just ordered them
and never let them in that he got a thrill out of because she only had proof that
he's ordered them here's another one this isn't a lie per se but my ex-boyfriend cheated on me
with multiple women when i confronted him about it he told me i was slut shaming him
oh this is i found a makeup brush in my ex-boyfriend's car and he told me it was a fingerprint duster that the police left behind
when his car window
got smashed.
No.
That's top tier.
That's five stars.
That's gold.
That's an A1.
I've had lads
cheat on me
and I'm so disappointed
I never got any creativity.
I just got
told I was jealous
and mental.
So disappointed.
I got,
now I got told
we were broken up
and I was like,
excuse me,
we were like
150% not broken up. No, we weren't up and I was like excuse me we were like 150% not
broken up
no we weren't
we weren't
no
we weren't
oh yeah
there's always
the timelines are always smudged
we broke up for an hour
on a Wednesday afternoon
are you genuinely telling me
you went out and rode
three women on a Wednesday afternoon
for an hour
oh gross
my ex is chatting to another girl
and tell me it's because
her boyfriend told him to
to give her more confidence
he dumped me for her
a month later
lol
oh no
can we talk about
Liam Payne's accent
did you hear Liam Payne's
new accent
did anyone hear it
yeah it was like a whimsical
it was like
it was like if Keanu Reeves
tried to do an Irish accent
that's how it sounded to me
it's one of my favorite things in the world
when somebody just automatically changes their accent.
It's my favorite.
Like remember Lindsay Lohan?
That was one of the best accents.
That was wild.
She kind of had, it was like an Arabian accent almost she developed.
I find it so cringe.
I wonder though, is he doing a film or something?
And he's kind of, you know, like sometimes that happens.
They do say it's a sign of a musical ear,
which means I now have more respect for Liam Payne
because I didn't think he actually had that, to be fair.
Not slagging him, but like I didn't think, you know,
he wasn't the big musician.
He wasn't.
It was basically like Niall was kind of the music guy and Harry.
Harry was kind of, yeah, and Niall, I suppose.
He's turning into a real man, Liam, now, isn't he?
Like he's all kind of beefed out and heall, I suppose. He's turning into a real man, Liam, now, isn't he? Like, he's all kind of beefed out
and he's wearing the suit.
No, I wouldn't fancy Liam.
Would you not?
No, I've seen him a few times in real life
and it wouldn't be my cup of tea.
I'd like Harry now.
What's Liam's original accent?
Where is he from?
Wolverhampton.
He's obviously gotten sucked into the Hollywood machine.
He's thrown off his Wolverhampton accent and now gotten sucked into the Hollywood machine he's thrown off
his Wolverhampton accent
and now he can't decide
between an American
and an Irish
that's what it sounds
it just sounds like
he's very confused
a very confused
Liam Payne
oh
Leo Varacker
don't ask me how I ended up on Leo Varadkar.
Don't ask me how I ended up on Leo Varadkar.
Again, Jo, Leo Varadkar is our Tónistá.
So our Taoiseach is number one.
He's our Prime Minister.
And then our Tónistá is number two.
And they're from different political parties.
Basically, we rotate our leaders like a little spice rack.
It's a long story.
You don't need to know about it. But Leo Varrocker
was Taoiseach
and now he's taunted
but he's going to be Taoiseach again.
Doesn't follow me in Vogue.
Now,
that might sound wild to you
but he follows
every other Irish female comic.
It feels like a snob.
Oh my God.
Joanne just called me
a comic as well there.
Maybe I am a comic.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
Unfollow him.
That's exactly what I'm going to do.
You show him.
I think I might have
said something about
Leo Varadkar
a couple of years ago
that's possibly why
he wouldn't follow me
what did you say
something about
you're quite a little
troll aren't you
when you get down
this was politically based
it was about
when we were bringing
in the abortion laws
into Ireland
and he had done
something that I
didn't approve of years previous or something and I might have tweeted him so I understand maybe
that's why he doesn't follow me he's no reason to not follow he follows everyone he follows
Dieran Gary Amy Huberman Aisling B I went through them all I was very lacking there I'm kind of
surprised he doesn't follow you well I followed him so it's the five day rule he's five days to
follow me back or he's getting blocked well I unfollowed him and I might if he doesn't follow you well I followed him so it's the five day rule he's five days to follow me back
or he's getting blocked
well I unfollowed him
and I might
if he doesn't follow me
I might block him too
and I refuse to believe
he's got bigger fish to fry
I refuse to believe it
he doesn't have
bigger fish to fry
he doesn't
I might invite him
into Vicar Street
I dare you
I dare you to DM him
go on
I dare you
I said come on
we have a couple of
blue wickets in the green room
come on Leo I dare you go on like you're not. I dare you. I said, come on. We have a couple of blue wickets in the green room.
Come on, Leo.
I dare you.
Go on. You're not the Taoiseach now.
You've nothing to do.
You're just a tawnisher.
They don't do anything.
It's like our Dominic Raab kind of vibe.
Now, even.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go on.
DM him there.
You've got your phone.
Go on.
Just say, hey, Leo.
I've got a couple of spare ticks.
TIX for my show.
Do you want to come?
Leo, it's Joanne.
Maybe I'll do one of those unfollows, refollows,
so he can see that I followed him.
Maybe he didn't know.
You don't follow.
I'm saying the podcast like he knows what it is.
Well, well well well
someone's gotten ahead
of their station aren't they
chatting on the pod
just the pod
you don't need to know
the details
chatting on the pod
about the fact that
you don't follow
me or Vogue
again
I'm not even giving you
a surname
I'm just assuming
yeah
on Insta
we're both quite hurt
but willing to move past it
I'm gonna go follow him back okay
if you're sending that
we're offended but open to dialogue
yes
we both follow you even five days
to follow us back
or suffer the consequences
as you want
and he's got 199,000 followers
like he sees
that shit
he likes to talk
travel
sunshine
concert
and he's a
Leinster and Dublin
fan
we like sunshine
we also like
travel
from one blue
tick to another
and just like that
I've moved into
politics And just like that, I've moved into politics.
Well, that's it from us.
By the way, my UK tour is all on sale now.
I'm going everywhere. Thank you.
