This is a Global Player Original Podcast. It's the face that you make before you... I don't... I told you I wanted to intro the pod
and she does this face for a second
and then she goes into it.
It's so weird.
I just have...
Any level of professionalism
makes me deeply uncomfortable.
Three years with it.
I feel like Brian Dobbs or whatever.
Brian Dobson.
Dobson, yeah.
Who would be a heavy hitter in the UK?
Quite a serious person.
Jon Snow.
That's who I am.
Is that one?
Yeah.
There you go.
Is he not the guy who discovered cholera?
Oh, here she's back on the cholera.
Well, it's been a while.
Some things are coming back.
There was a polio scare in Battersea not long ago.
Battersea.
Like just confined to Battersea.
What?
Well, maybe it was polio. It could have been something else.
There has been a huge rise in syphilis.
That was a long time ago
though. That started happening and it turned into
Well, you brought it.
You brought it here from
Ireland, remember? I did.
Yes, I did. It was one of the many things
I brought over from Ireland. You're welcome,
Britton. Thank you.
They kept folk in quarantine for nearly the guts of a year, really,
to get the syphilis out of her.
And then they allowed her... Remember when you brought the super gonorrhea over, though?
That was...
Well, I'm sorry, but super gonorrhea deserves to travel
the same as the rest of us.
It deserves to travel and have a life.
Joanne has a
adventurous spirit
it wanted to come to London
what can I say
and I said
climb in me
I'll bring you
like a mule
I want to start the pod
on a nice note
let's pretend
the last few minutes
haven't happened
you know the way
we mentioned that book
I want to do a couple
of book recommendations
because I am a person
that goes to bed.
Sorry, what book?
The book we spoke about,
I'm Glad My Mom Died.
Oh, sorry, the book.
Yeah, the book.
That's a testament to the fact
that me and Val have only ever discussed
one book on the podcast.
Such culture vultures we are.
Remember we mentioned a book once?
Oh my God, of course, yeah.
Remember the time we pretended we were reading?
Yeah.
Well, there's another book
I found
and because
like I like to go to sleep
at 10 o'clock
I was up till midnight
last night
reading this book
it's called
All the Broken Places
by John Boyne
oh
so
I'm not familiar
I don't know anything
about that book
John Boyne
he's an amazing
if you ever have read
The Heart's Invisible Furies
by him
it is incredible
but he wrote
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
also very deeply depressing
but this is kind of
like a follow on
so it's like
it's supposed to be
a children's book
did you know that?
well it certainly is
I would not have a child
read that book
it was so upsetting
but also an incredible book
but this book is
amazing as well
I can't stop reading it
oh fab i love a good recommendation i know it's very good i'll give it to you when i'm finished
but i'm over in my mom's house in spain at the moment or my stepdad nelso and uh when i tell you
i have like you look like you're having a ball i'm having the time of my life the others have
been dragging me down my whole life.
My siblings just hanging around, clawing on, just always wanting attention.
And now that I'm the only one with the attention, I'm being offered breakfast in bed.
There was homemade guacamole and homemade hummus when I got here.
They're asking me if they want me to run me a bath.
Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself because I'm doing this pod From your house As you know Because I have no wifi
In my own place yet
And the kids are fucking
Hanging off me
I haven't had a second speech
I'm like keep it down up there
For God's sake
I'm trying to work
When I came in
It was so funny
Obviously I had to
Reintroduce myself to Gigi again
Because we start from base
Again
She looked at me
And I said
Do you remember me?
And she goes, yeah.
And I said, high five.
And she gave me a high five.
And then she looked back.
There's this, you know,
the silver vase on the kitchen counter.
Yeah.
She's just staring at her own reflection.
Just staring at herself lovingly.
She just went back to just staring at herself.
And I was saying to Rushdie,
isn't it great the way she can just stare at herself like that?
And Rushdie said,
it's great to have confidence in yourself.
It's absolutely great.
It's great to enjoy her own reflection that much.
I know a way,
I know a way that you can get her on site
all the time.
Wear jewellery.
The child is like a magpie.
She'll notice,
if I change one of my tiny studs,
she's like,
can I have that when I'm older?
I don't have
any jewellery
and she's yours.
It's mad that she's already
considering inheritance.
Like, it's crazy
that she is that
clued into
like jewellery
and what's coming to her
and what's not coming to her.
I saw her
putting yellow stickers
on the art.
Mine.
Mine.
It's like, Gigi, why have you
autographed all
these things
tell me about
Spain
I would say
it does look like
you're having an
absolute ball
I know you're
working but still
my body is in bits
I've been filming
for Flexi
our app which is
out on the 25th
of January
I'm very excited
I'm going to give
you a free a free way to watch the app.
So when you're bored at home, instead of watching TikTok, you can just watch us train.
Well, I'd actually love that because to say I enjoyed myself over Christmas is quite the understatement.
My God.
At one point I was like, Alan't i don't know where he puts us
but my god i'd love to live with alan he's always eating chinese food oh my god i'm like you're
how much curry sauce can woman hold inside himself irish curry sauce come on i know what
are you talking about it's china it's come from China no what
yeah
what do you mean
Irish curry sauce
it's from a street vendor
like the white sauce
on the carveries
I don't know what's in that either
and they fly it in
oh my god
so you know the way
I ran twice over Christmas
I've now decided
I can't run again
until I have a running harness
there's just no point now
no I was hoping
you weren't going to say that.
Please.
Spencer and I slag those people.
Put your phone in your pocket.
No.
No.
My harness just arrived.
I've been in.
Because I've ordered all this stuff on Amazon for the new flat.
I was a prisoner in my own home today waiting for it to arrive.
Couldn't leave at all.
But I was free to leave now because my harness arrived.
My scrub daddy's arrived. new ring light your pink stuff your pink stuff my pink stuff with
the big toothbrush to clean the sink which I'm never going to use has arrived I did wonder who
that was my harness my harness has arrived so I'm like okay shit I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
get out I'm gonna start running again now because I it's the jingling in the pockets folk
when you live alone you've no one to give your keys to
you know that's the problem really it's a loneliness
issue. Do you know what she's gonna go around with next
she's gonna get one of those things for around her
arm and that's where her iPhone will go and then
in the front in the harness she'll have
she'll have a little water bottle
that she needs for her 20 minute run and her
keys. I need for nothing now because I have my harness she'll have she'll have a little water bottle that she needs for her 20 minute run and her keys
I need for nothing now
because I have my harness
but I will choose
to run with one of those
you know those water bottles
that your hand
there's like a hole
in the middle
I'll probably
because I'm not used to running
so I'll probably need
one of those protein shakes
about seven minutes in
please go up to Spencer
and show him your harness
and be like
oh I heard you're doing
a big run in
soon
I got you one of these
harnesses to wear in the run
and record his face
I don't want to arouse Spencer
I think it would create
a weird vibe for us
so I'm not going to show
my harness
because I'm telling you
that would be his reaction
because it says
it says I'm sporty
but it says I've got stuff
that I need to carry around
it says I'm sporty
and I've got a phone
like tick tick.
This is very true actually.
I should watch out actually.
Don't go near Spencer in your sexual harness.
Yeah now you're shitting it aren't you?
I'm in your home.
All I have to do is live with my children.
So I look maternal and motherly
and put on my running harness.
The only way that harness could be
sexually attractive if you went topless and just had a tit out either side and then possibly then
because i've seen your boobs and they're great possibly then it would be sexy they are great
i don't even i don't even know if tits hanging out could help that harness to be honest
it's pretty bleak but I'm pretty sure
now that I have
my heart
notes
that
you know
I'm going to be starting
I'm going to start
next week
I'm going to be asking
for donations
to run some ultra marathon
for some charity.
I'm telling you
the future is now
my year has started.
She's going to
get those loads.
New year
new me. has started she's going to New Year New me Guess what
now that you're over
I bought us
and I'm not joking
right
I bought us
water shoes
and gloves
we're going
when I say us
I only bought one pair
but we're the same size.
So we're going to start ice bathing
on my balcony.
So to summarize, I bought you nothing.
But you
can wear my water shoes once you don't have
Verrucas. In the ice
baths? Yeah, there's an ice bath
coming to our house this week, maybe
tomorrow. We're going to start ice bathing.
You won't even know what to do with your mental health.
It'll be so good. I don't know if my harness
is waterproof. I don't know if I'm able to get into an ice
bath because I will be in my harness
24-7.
I really need to see
how that reacts to water first before
I commit to any sort of ice bath situation.
Is the harness the new leg weights?
The harness comes first.
The harness comes first.
Okay. And everything
else in my life will fall in perfectly
now to place because I have the running harness.
I just,
I can't believe this.
I stand by, it was like during
lockdown when I bought all these weights online
I said once they come I'm going to start working out
weeks and weeks and weeks went by
do you remember this?
and I was in a rush for them to arrive
because I was like grand
I can't do anything until the weights get here anyway
so I'm just going to sit around and drink two bottles of Merlot a day
and then
enough time passed and I was like this is actually a strange
amount of time so I went online
and I'd been conned it was like a scam
you just tell the money so the account was all shut down and I was like oh and then I went
every single review was like this is a scam this is a scam this is a scam this man is a thief
did I read a review not at all well. Well, I'm thrilled. I honestly cannot
believe that you got one of them because it was only
two days ago before I left.
Spenny came into the bathroom and showed me
a video of this person with the harness and he's like,
see, another person with one of these. What's the
crack? It looks so stupid
with the... And now Joanne's bought a harness.
I cannot believe it.
So now I have to buy one.
But it's like...
Of course. Well, I bought you one. I didn't have to buy one. but it's like, of course.
Well,
I bought you one.
I didn't,
but we're the same size.
You can just wear mine.
It's,
it's similar to my,
my take on dry robes.
There was a time where I was like,
I'm fucking dry robes.
Jesus,
you could have yourself.
We need one of them for the ice bath.
100%
I'll have a dry robe now
within a week.
It's actually
really practical guys
they fit right
under my harness
I can't wait
to get a video
of you getting
in the ice bath
more than anything
in the whole
entire world
everybody needs
to have that video
I'm even going to
save it
just for the pod page
Joanne's first ice bath
I can't wait
I don't like any
sort of discomfort
tough luck
that's all I'm going to say
and it looks it looks it looks That's all I'm going to say. And it looks
it looks discomforting
if I'm being honest. Yeah but the way
you feel after is worth
honestly you won't even believe how good you're going to
feel. We're doing it and that's just that.
I do like to feel good. That will make you feel good.
I'll let you have a hot whiskey in there too so it will kind of
balance out the good and the bad. Now you're
talking. Yeah. One of those floating bars.
Would I be in there for that long long i'd say we might get 20 seconds out of you um it's so funny it's so funny
being over here and overhearing my parents arguments it's the funniest like honestly last
night they were watching the juice they were watching pointless right and uh and it comes on
and neil starts chatting away and my mom's just sitting there
she's like oh no Neil don't worry Neil
I don't want to watch it I don't want to guess the
answers myself either you just continue
keep going Neil
and then Neil comes out with
what's the point of them coming on
if they're stupid and then I thought to myself
I wonder if he watched me on Mastermind.
It's the first thing I thought of.
I was like, 20 sterling on the fact that he did.
I put my harness on it.
That's how much I am sure that he did.
I would bet my harness that he did.
Be careful with that.
You love that harness.
Be very careful.
I know. but we were
driving
Neil thinks he's
rain man
he is
he knows everything
about everything
he came in because
I had to sign this document
he'd printed it off
and I signed it
and he was like
what is that
and I was like
it's my signature
and he's like
that's not a signature
and I was like
but that is my signature
and he goes
you're 38
you're too old
you need to have
a proper signature
and I was like that is and they were like they won't accept that so he comes. You're too old. You need to have a proper signature. And I was like, that is.
And they were like, they won't accept that.
So he comes in with another piece of paper and another piece of paper.
And I keep writing the same thing.
And I was like, I can't do it any different.
Help.
What the fuck?
Neil, like, it's too late to teach her how to write.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, that ship has sailed, my friend.
I don't have a signature.
I'm the same.
I'm the exact same. Like, I sign things and I'm like, like putting bubbles on my eyes and't have a signature I'm the same I'm the exact same
like I sign things
and I'm like
like putting bubbles
on my eyes and all
like I'm
like
my handwriting
has not left 70
like it has not left
50 in school
now I think that's
the nicest handwriting
sorry one last fight
that they had right
we were
we were driving into the port
last night
we were going for pizza
two for one
guess how much
your dinner was last night
48 euro two glasses of wine a sin alcohol beer We were driving into the port last night. We were going for pizza. Two for one. Guess how much our dinner was last night?
48 euro.
Two glasses of wine,
a sin alcohol beer,
two bottles of water,
two pizzas and a bolognese and a coffee.
48 euro.
We're being robbed blind in London.
Here we are telling.
Oh my God.
I said, I'll get this one.
They were like, no,
this is a cheap one.
You get tomorrow.
Oh yeah,
they're smart.
Neil's financially savvy, we all know that.
So we're driving into the port
and this is one of their other arguments.
My mom's like, look at that
disgusting. Someone didn't pick up
their dog poo. And Neil's like, why do you
have to tell me that? I don't want to hear that.
Why do you have to tell me about the dog poo?
I don't want to see it. And I'm to tell me about the dog poo I don't want to see it and I'm sitting in the back
like
I love hearing
other people's arguments
yeah
yeah it's nice to know
because like
it's the Instagram
versus reality thing
online Sandra looks like
she hasn't a care in the world
with her
with her floating
floor length dresses
and her
trilbies
nice to know
she's scrapping away
like the rest of us
over dog shit
with her husband.
She is.
And last night,
I was like,
she's like,
are you going to change
for dinner?
And I was like,
no.
I was kind of wearing
gym gear,
but like with a bomber,
a nice bomber.
And I was like,
are you changing?
She's like,
no.
And then out she waltz
in this like full cream outfit
with a cream hat
I was like
I thought we made a deal
that we weren't changing
for dinner
and you've come out here
looking like an angel
she can't help herself
she's just
she just oozes style
she does
it's
and like
do you know what she said
she said if she gets
to 40,000 followers
she's going to have a glass
of champagne tonight
she's on like
she's on like 39,960 or something's going to have a glass of champagne tonight. She's on like, she's on like 39,960
or something.
She's dying for a glass
of champagne.
You know how we know.
Alexandra,
just fucking have
the glass of champagne.
Go on.
I'll unfollow her
and follow her again.
Will that help?
I don't think so.
Hey, J&B. I don't think so Hey J and V really keen to get your thoughts on this
as I am baffled
I love that word
I work with a guy
and early last year
we were becoming good friends
it felt like it was leading somewhere
so I asked him if he thought
it was something more
he said it wasn't for him
and I was grand with that
as I just wanted an answer
one way or another he then oh. He then proceeded to blank me. Oh baby. Sitting away from me in the office
when we always sat together I was so pissed off that he was treating me like a fucking idiot.
Anyway roll on to Christmas and we match on Tinder. Christmas and I was looking for some fun. We had a week of R-rated messages back and forth and I was convinced it would end in sex. Fair enough.
What he didn't know was that I was leaving work and wasn't going to be back.
A week later, he texted me saying, where are you?
Are you not back in the office?
I haven't replied because fuck that.
I'm going to fuck that.
I'm going around in circles with him.
What the F do you make of that?
I, I, I think there's some guys that just love a little bit of a chase and then back
off and it's like they want to be wanted when actually they don't want anything to do with it
yeah girls as well I've been guilty of that it's the old bit of bread crumbing people like knowing
someone fancies them and to keep them keep them engaged they kind of have to give them a little
bit every now and again yeah and then they're like okay like don't lose your don't lose the run yourself like that's all you're getting
and i and you're obviously obsessed with me now so i need to kind of sit over there so you need
to kind of like contain yourself but then i'll match with you on tinder and flirt but then like
i won't just flirt say you're gonna have say that you're gonna have sex on tinder and you don't do
it yeah but he never the offer he never the never, the offer never. Like he basically,
he's leading her up the garden path,
as they'd say.
And there's nothing up the top of that path.
No, the path is empty. There's nothing up the top of that path.
That path is empty.
This is an ego trip.
The garden path
is a path to up the ego lane.
Yeah.
Or we could say it's up to a dead end.
That's it.
It's up to a dead end of ego. That's up to a dead end of ego that's all that is
now and actually i think this woman sounds very sensible she seems to have really kind of seen
what's going on here i'd probably still be trying to crack in i'd be right he's obsessed at me
if you wouldn't mind emailing he hasn't he hasn't left his job yeah we're still in the same office he's obsessed with me if you wouldn't mind emailing joanne and i we'd love to chat to you because
we could do it a bit of that like how you managed to not reply that is amazing i would love to do
that something it's like what's they call it self-respect or something i don't know i've heard
of it what's that i don't know i don't know i don't know i'm've heard of it. What's that? What is that? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not very familiar
with the name itself.
I don't know if that's
all that's cracked up to be.
Come on.
It's not.
Self-respect.
Come on.
Is it going to keep you warm at night?
I don't know how to say it I remember once
I did
I was doing
what that guy
is doing to her
to a guy
years ago
not for very long
dirty little minks
I know
I knew he liked me
and I
kind of liked him
but I more like
I more so liked the fact
that he liked me
do you know what I mean
yeah
and um
so I was kind of engaging with it
and we said we'd go on a date and but I I get mean yeah and um so I was kind of engaging with it and we'd said
we'd go on a date
but I
I was just kind of
I was just like
I just liked being liked
really by this guy
this boy
and um
then one night
he just texted me
he goes
is this happening
or is it not happening
or basically
I'm wasting my time
and I was like
whoa
whoa
zing
so I went
I just said
it's not
it's not happening yeah I said I just said it's not happening
yeah I said like
realistically
like no it's probably
not gonna happen
he's like alright no worries
fair enough
and I was like
I've never respected
a man more
fair play
I once had that
with a guy
and I like
I kind of just didn't
really fancy him
and I knew it wasn't
gonna go anywhere
and then like
he just persisted so much
that I just thought
fuck it go on then
why not
and then we lost the friendship because after we did it I was like I really don't want to do that
again I honestly thought you were gonna say and then I married him I really really thought you
were gonna throw Spencer under the bus there and I've got three kids you know it is really
taking a turn I don't know how it's gone this far but I'm still there things have escalated as they always do with me yeah
I do I do find though that um and I know we're kind of veering off topic that I find and again
I'm only speaking anecdotally and we only know our own experience but men do seem from my experience
more willing to like test a friendship if you know what I mean as in they experience more willing to like
test a friendship if you know what I mean
as in they seem more willing to
who's your husband
tell him to get rid of that tash
tell him right now
tell him to come over and tell him that you've got a harness
I know he still has it
tell him you've got a harness
your tash
I've got a running harness folks
I've got a harness I'll tell him later your tash I got a running harness folks I got a harness
for running
and folks
think that it's
the most disgusting
thing she's ever heard
and that you
will also think the same
she got one of the
running harnesses
that's where I'm going
right this very second
to buy a harness
I'm going to
hack Oscar

Joanne I don't
like to use sex as
a weapon but I've
warned him
he's still here he
looks very aggressive
if he
folks think she
won't
there's no more
sex
he's saying you
said that last
time Vogue
I did but I'd had a few drinks that time.
Now I'm really strong.
And then you'd sex six minutes after.
Okay, this isn't for this podcast.
This is for mediation.
This is not for me.
This is not my job.
And that is it for this week.
Joanne is off running in her newly acquired harness.
That sexy little bitch.
And I'm off to sit
and pet my mom
and eat Doritos
and have her pet my head.
I'd say Amber
is absolutely raging.
Well, I was raging
because Frederick rang them
last night,
so I took the phone off Neil
and I said,
no, no, no,

Don't ring them
while I'm here.
You're like,
