yeah
did you see for a second
I thought
Megan
and Machine Gun Kelly
broke up
she hadn't posted about them
in ages
she was doing those
thirst traps
that you talk about
I'd heard
they broke up
raging
she's an after post
and they're still together
I'm not happy about it I'm not happy about it either She's an after post and they're still together.
I'm not happy about it.
I'm not happy about it either.
Neither am I.
Do you know what?
That is a relationship.
I find firstly I've gone off her
since she said she doesn't work out
and she's got a full set of abs.
A lot of bollocks.
Yeah, fuck off.
Annoys me.
Work hard.
Work.
Gotta get it.
But like don't lie.
Don't pretend.
Make us feel like shit.
And then saying oh no
I didn't do it.
Where you swallowed your abs did you? I don't do anything with my face. Swallow abs. Maybe she doesn't work out.. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. Don't pretend. And then saying, oh no, I didn't do it. You swallowed your abs, did you?
I don't do anything with my face.
Swallow abs.
Maybe she doesn't work out.
Maybe she's got abs injected in.
Well then,
if that's the case,
she should lie
and say she does work out.
You know what I mean?
Silly, silly girl.
I don't know.
I just,
no,
I'm not going to be mean about her actually.
She's absolutely gorgeous.
Oh, she's a big right.
But they kind of gross me out a bit.
I've said that.
Not as much as the other two.
I'm actually, so I I think my theory is the more over the top couples are online and the more they go on about how in love they are and how their cellmates and their higher flames or
whatever they say they're less like you this to still asked yeah three emails Jo Anne I love it
what do people
used to call you
Joanna
Joanna
I tell you
Joanna McNulty
that happened
I turned up to do a show
in Leicester
and they had my name
above the door
in lights
Joanna McNulty
some people text me
I was like
this is demoralising
some people mail me
right and it'll be Vogue and I'm like but you is demoralizing. Some people mail me, right?
And it would be Vogue.
And I'm like, but you know my name is Vogue.
It's not V-O-U-G-E.
It's not Vogue.
It's Vogue.
Vogue.
Could anyone ever mispronounce your name?
No, I don't think so.
No.
Oh, well, the Spanish do.
I used to have a Spanish mind when I was younger.
Always called me Bogie.
Bogie.
Bogie.
Bogie. Bogie,. Bogey. Bogey.
Bogey like a snot.
Maybe she just thought
I was a little brat
so she just called me snot.
Oi, snot.
Come here.
Bogey.
Okay, you have three emails.
So I'm 28
and I've been with my boyfriend
for nearly two years now.
We talk about getting married,
having kids,
the works.
I know he loves me
but
I'd had a few too many drinks one night and decided it would be a wonderful idea to check his phone. I know he loves me, but... Uh-oh. I'd had a few too many drinks one night
and decided it would be a wonderful idea
to check his phone.
I quickly realized
that I must be Sherlock Holmes' daughter
because I guessed the password
to his hidden folder in seconds.
He used his PIN number.
Lol.
I found photos of his ex-girlfriend
going back at least four years
and the most recent one
was a couple of weeks before we met
for the first time.
We were talking at that time.
I decided to send him a nudie photo
one day and he saved it then deleted it.
There are no secret folders of me
hidden and I'm already a little insecure.
I'm not his usual type but this just confirms
it. It made me feel like he's just
settling for me.
I don't
think that at all. Hold on a second.
I need to look back over this.
Can I tell you what I think? I guess the password. Obviously all. Hold on a second. I need to look back over this. Can I tell you what I think?
I guess the password.
Obviously not.
Give me two seconds.
Did your ears not work
when I was reading that?
Did you close your ears again?
Spenny does that to me all the time.
He's like,
darling, did you hear me?
I'm like, no,
I just closed my ears
that time that you were talking.
Of course I heard you.
It went in.
You do have tiny ears though.
Did you not say that no I don't
I have huge ears
look at them
look at them
you wouldn't think it
I don't think
they're a normal size ears
well then maybe
I have a big head as well
so they obviously just
can John Belton
not do anything
for your ears now
I just really want to
tone up my ear labs
I guess
he's an ex-girlfriend
he used to
I found photos
of his ex-girlfriend
on the street
so it was a couple of weeks before okay so he has old photos of his ex-girlfriend, I think it was a couple
of weeks before.
Okay, so he has old
photos of his ex-girlfriend.
Fine.
Yeah, but I don't think
there's anything wrong
with that because I think
that's from a time
of your life.
It's like me,
like, I mean,
I have a few wedding
albums.
I haven't thrown
all the wedding albums
out because it was
still at a time.
I have a few wedding albums.
Look, what can I say?
I have a few wedding albums.
I didn't just burn them.
Like, I'll never look at it. Like, I don't even know where it is. I just know I didn't just burn them. Like, I'll never look at it.
Like, I don't even know where it is.
I just know I didn't throw it out
when I was going to throw stuff out.
Because I think that, like, that doesn't matter.
He's obviously hidden them
because he doesn't want you to see them.
But it doesn't mean he's, like, spoffing over them.
Oh, nice use of the new word.
There you go.
I'm not spoffing in a sentence.
It's spoffing, though.
It's not spoffing.
We need to make a decision on this.
Okay, let me ring Sven.
Ring Sven.
Okay.
Let me ring that absolute posho.
Where is he?
Probably huddled in his safe.
Hi darling.
Hi darling.
Hi darling.
We have a question for you.
Yeah.
Joe said it's spaffing,
but you said it's spuffing.
Spuffing, yeah.
Spuffing.
Are you sure that this isn't your accent?
It's definitely spuffing.
S-P-U-F-F-F for flamingo, I-N-G.
Well, for a while it was spunking, wasn't it?
Spunking, and then I'm pretty sure it came,
it changed. Pretty sure it came. It changed.
Pretty sure it came.
Did it come, such a child?
Like, rah!
Make sure not to spuff on my pillow type thing at school.
I think, yeah, it was normal.
Oh, make sure not to.
That's what they did in school.
Okay, thanks a million, babe.
All right, cheers, bye.
Bye, babes.
Sorry.
Do you know what?
Actually, when he was saying that,
I remember that he does make up words
he does
he said shoot
that's the privilege
he says shoot
instead of suit
what
yeah so actually
I'd believe Joe
Joe fact checking
spuffing
spuffing
like spuff
is a term
for a sexual practice
involving a trout
or other freshwater fish
what
what has Spencer
been up to
with the fish?
Oh my God.
He loves those fish in our hallway.
Hold on a second.
Spuffing.
Like spuff is a term for his sexual practice
involving a trout or other freshwater fish.
I love it has to be a freshwater fish.
At the point of ejaculation,
the male of the species,
preferably human,
gently places his fat...
It's kind of bizarre.
Gently places his fat end
into the wide open mouth of said trout.
When the bush is full of seminal fluid,
the male of the species then proceeds to cover his partner
with seminal fluids,
mixed in with fishy innards
with the vinegar strokes motion.
I don't understand what we're talking about anymore.
Is this about wanking a fish?
This, basically, you need to get...
Oh my God, people wank into a fish.
What do you mean? Inside it?
You need to bring Spencer to a therapist immediately.
That's quite frightening.
You and Spencer, no wonder you get on.
You and horses, Spencer and fish. Well, I'm going to have to wank into a fish. I have to a therapist immediately. That's quite frightening. You and Spencer, that's no wonder you get on you and horses,
Spencer and fish.
Well, I'm going to have to wank into a fish.
I have to keep things interesting.
Everyone keeps falling asleep while I'm riding them.
Can I interest you in a bit of spuffing, Alan?
Speaking of...
You seem a little tired.
Little spuff, little spuff in the evening.
A bit of spuffing.
Spuffy, spuff, spuff.
Speaking of fish, I saw a girl made a dress
out of a fish skin
they use fish skin
on burn patients
it's fish skin
they use fish skin
have you ever seen them
are you sure it's not pig skin
no no no no
it's really good for healing
yeah so I don't think
there's anything to worry about that
I wouldn't think
I wouldn't get
too bothered
but obviously
I'd delete the filter
yeah would you no yeah that I wouldn't think I wouldn't get too bothered but obviously I'd delete the filter yeah
would you?
no
yeah
you're saying no
but your eyes are saying yes
I'm saying no
no
did you hear
that was what
remember the big fallout
with Rita Ora and Calvin Harris
what was that about?
remember they were going out
and then there was a big breakup
and he
he wouldn't let her
release any of the music
oh yeah so apparently allegedly she was cheating on him with who? I don't know out and then there was a big breakup and he wouldn't let her release any of the music. Oh yeah. So apparently
allegedly she was
cheating on him. With who? Don't know.
Someone else.
Yes, Duran, because that's how cheating works. I don't know.
I don't know who she was cheating with. I'm surprised by that.
And he found out, went into the studio,
deleted the whole album.
He'd written an album with her. Fair enough.
Delete, delete, delete. I was like, I fucking love
the pettiness. I would do that.
I'd be that petty.
Yeah.
What, 100%?
I think he was about to really,
like that,
because it's Calvin Harris.
He would have launched her
into the stratosphere.
Weird phone background.
Oh, sorry.
This is what I was going to say
just on that thing.
I think,
because I know I have,
I have had this before
where you're with a guy.
Alan would want to watch out.
He'd want to like
triple lock his phone
I
do you know what
I'm at this
I'm at the stage in my life
where I'm
I'm never going to be
in one of those relationships again
I never
I'm never going down
that road again
it's not worth it
and
and thank God
I'm with someone
who doesn't make me
feel like I have to
that's the key
if you're in his phone, it's fucked.
Do you know what I mean?
The paranoia comes in.
She's convinced herself she's not his usual type.
And then the paranoia comes in.
Yeah, because you're like, oh, he's keeping photos of his old girlfriend because obviously
she was choice A and I'm like choice B.
Maybe the old girlfriend's really, really hot or something.
Yeah, but maybe you want something a bit different.
Like Spencer is different to anyone that I've ever
gone out with.
That's it.
Difference is good.
Difference is good.
And also,
do not let the insecurity
seep in.
No, don't ruin
your relationship
because of it.
You will turn into
a needy, insecure mess
and you will lose him.
You sound like Liam Neeson.
And you'll be emailing us again.
Here's Liam Neeson. I just think, emailing us again. Here's Liam Neeson.
I just think,
I just think,
sorry,
I'm supposed to be,
I just think,
it sounds kind of wanky,
but you have to back yourself.
You've got to back yourself.
Back yourself.
He's fucking lucky to have you.
Back yourself.
And then you'll feel great
and he'll be more attracted to you.
He'll be like,
this woman is so confident.
Confidence is sexy.
I'm not going to give a shit about your ex.
I don't care.
It's none of my business.
Again, none of this advice I would take myself.
You come home with the phone and say,
Hey, what the fuck is this?
Going absolutely wild.
But it was good advice all the time.
Set up a fake Instagram account.
Make friends with your woman.
Go into her account.
Start swiping back to see the photos.
Try and join the timelines up.
Don't do what I would do.
Oh, don't.
Don't.
That'll actually give me a real, you know, that horrible, like, fear in my stomach there,
like, but a stabbing pain of fear.
I don't want to feel like that again, ever.
That's the worst.
It's the absolute worst.
Ugh.
Hey, guys. Okay. Hey guys, okay, so I met this guy on a night out recently and we hit it off and we have been on a couple of dates since.
The other day we were getting food and his phone lit up,
so typically you'd be trying to read the message, but that's not what caught my eye.
I was taken by his background because it was him.
Like, not him with his friends, it was literally just a it was him. Like,
not him with his friends.
It was literally just a photo of him.
Is this not mad?
It's like
red flag level vein
or like workable vein.
That's kind of strange.
Bath,
do you know what that says to me?
I love me.
Yes.
But he's secure.
You know,
we were talking about attachment styles he is very secure very
secure or if i was being really paranoid maybe the background was of something how long she going out
with him i'd say that was an emergency but i'd say the background is something else
no i think it's really saying something about yourself if you're putting yourself as your phone
cover maybe it was a goal maybe he's on a health kick
and he's like
this is my
this is the bod I want
yeah
possibly
maybe it's something like that
now I have a picture of myself
in my living room
but I'd like to point
because a few people
have mentioned it
on Instagram
when they see it
I asked my manager
because no one knows
what to get me for a present
and I said
I'd love a framed photo
of me and the family
and anyway
she did a half-assed job
on it
she got me a frame lovely frame white company very And anyway, she did a half-assed job on it. She got me a frame,
lovely frame,
white company,
very nice frame.
And she put a cut-out picture
of me in it.
Now, I have a lot of shit
going on at the moment.
In the year that I've gotten it,
since I've gotten it,
I haven't had time to change it.
So that's why I have a photo
of myself in the sitting room.
I think it's okay
to have a photo of yourself.
Not a big photo like that.
Like, there's a big four of Spencer.
I actually had to start
removing a few of Spencer
because, like, his mom just pops them up everywhere. I actually had to start removing a few of Spencer because like his mom
just pops them up everywhere
I'm like no no no no
we can't have that much
Spencer in this house
no way
too much
so much Spencer
I would love to do
something like
you know the way
you always look back
like I was looking
at photos of myself
when I was like
22, 23
and I thought I was like
I thought I was in bits
had no confidence
in myself I look back I'm like sure wasn thought I was like I thought I was in bits I had no confidence in myself
I look back and I'm like
sure wasn't I only gorgeous?
I know
21 I had a face like a child
I know
and I had a little button nose
you still have a button nose
I saw
when you turned to the side
I thought that's a bit of a pixie nose
on her
it's spreading with my age
but anyway
so I was like
do you know what
I would like to do something
I know it is
it does make me sound like
a super whopper massive was like do you know what I would like to do something I know it is it does make me sound like a super
whopper
massive narcissist
but do you remember
Samantha in Sex and the City
got a naked photo
of herself taken
I listen as well
do you remember
and she did it
because she was like
fuck this
I want to look back
now I wouldn't go naked
would you just be there
with your legs open
just like
oh god
that is so funny.
Oh, we never really
answered your one.
So,
that is...
Unusual.
But what can you say about it?
Like, it's unusual.
Yeah, and also,
look, give him the benefit
of the doubt.
Maybe he's not good with tech
and there's someone else
in the photo
which they just cropped out.
I would like to say,
by the way,
I changed my phone
over myself this week
as in all your old data
onto your new phone
all my bits on the new phone
all the apps
everything is on that phone
you can do
you can kind of clone
can't you
yeah I mean
I didn't have to do much
obviously
but I was very happy
you just put them together
and they like
merge
I would
every time I get a new phone
it's like starting a new life
yeah
but that's what I thought
bring it over
I'll do it for you
I still have two phone numbers of course you course on one phone such a pain in the hell
she's absolutely useless okay initiation hi guys big fans of the pod you both genuinely have me
in stitches at the most awkward times lounging by the pool on my holly pops and the rest
recently i found myself in a bit of an awkward situation my boyfriend doesn't know when to
initiate the time we have a bit of intimate kissing with. My boyfriend doesn't know when to initiate the time. We have a bit of
intimate kissing with dinner
or whatever signal
doors are open.
With dinner?
It's kissing with dinner.
Yeah, I know.
I wouldn't like that off food.
That's weird, isn't it?
Around five or six
and then absolutely nothing
until around 11 or 12.
After six or seven hours
of TV and the rest,
by that time,
I'm bloody wrecked
and I've done my routine
for the night,
skincare, etc.
Not to be fucked with.
Which ends up with me
feeling like a bad guy and him with blue balls, partially my fault, I suppose. But
in fairness, he's taken six hours to act on the signal for context. We're together nine years,
no kids in the mix, but both working regular nine to five jobs. So five to 11 is absolutely
no man's land. It frustrates me to know and that he waits until 11 or 12 to initiate anything.
And I'm already in nighttime mode and look like the the bad guy when I say I've wrecked it's no bueno
viva la visa
I would agree with you then
I mean you're saying 11 to 12
like I am four hours
deep asleep by then
someone actually bailed me through the night
I was like I love you guys
but can you ask to please start talking about
her sleep patterns
they're like I can't listen to it anymore
okay well I have actually
I have something nice
to say then
because that was on my list
for today
and I didn't say it
about sleep
about sleep
what were you going to say
I'm not going to say it
but I did get 7 hours
and 40 minutes last night
what did you say
I won't say it
but I got 7 hours
and 40 minutes last night
okay
it was so funny
when I was trying to take
an Insta story
of that hot air balloon
you could just hear Vogue in the background going,
I was awake then until 4am and then I was back up at 10.06am
and my sleep patterns were...
I was like, Vogue! Stop talking about your sleep patterns!
They're going to crack!
I can't stop. I can't stop.
Sleep mad.
I'm sleep obsessed.
I agree with you.
I mean, I...
Because I'm not much of an initiator
because I know Svenny will initiate.
He'll always initiate.
So it makes you kind of just take
the high road now
and if he misses his window
I've told him
what his window is
I said once I'm in that bed
more than half an hour
you can forget about it
I'll wait around
for half an hour
but I'm not waiting
around for any longer
see I wouldn't wait
like I would just
initiate it
now I have been
in situations before
where I'm like
this lad is never initiated anything.
Yeah, because you do.
So why would he bother?
Yeah, because you want to be desired.
You know what I mean?
It's like, you know I'll initiate.
Like, yeah, you'll know I'll initiate.
But then I think sometimes,
we assume that men,
there's an assumption that all men
have this like wildly high sex drive.
It's not true.
They don't.
Some lads have no interest.
Look at us looking at Joe.
How many times a week, Joe?
How many times a week? I'm not going to hold up a number on my end. I don't think you think it's going to happen.
That's not going to happen.
Well, if you can count. All this sex talk,
I'm going home. I'm getting laid today.
Spencer, the spuffing's happening in the spuffing's happening in the lounge
I actually must tell him
don't spuff
before I'm home
you walk into the house
there's a smell of trout
Spencer have you been
spuffing again
what have I told you
about spuffing in the house
that's so revolting.
Gross.
It's actually,
that's a lie.
You can't come in a fish.
That's obviously true.
It's illegal.
You can't do that.
She's absolutely tried it.
You want to see what I saw her do
into a tin of tuna on holidays?
From experience.
It's practically impossible.
Well, on that note,
thank you very much for listening.
We've had a fantastic time.
Hold on, we didn't answer this question.
Stop trying to end the podcast.
I did answer it.
You're a night owl.
It wouldn't bother you
between 11 and 12.
No, what I was saying was,
so intimate kissing.
She's like,
he's not taking the signals.
You're obviously not,
you're obviously not
giving the right signals.
Shove the tongue in further.
Yeah.
Just take it in an ear or something.
Get stuck in.
And then give him a hard time about it
that's what I would do
I would
I'd be one of these
what was that line
what time are you going
to be home in later
can I talk to you
can I
I'd just like to talk
to you about something
can we have a chat
are we both
it's a
it's a
Vogue who wants to
fuck with you
because she'll say something
but it just seems
a bit strange to me
that seems a bit strange
it just all seems
a bit strange
and then she'll I've seen can I say I won't say it to new strange to me. That seems a bit strange. This all seems a bit strange.
And then she'll I've seen
can I say
I won't say it to new.
Yeah go on.
She wanted to
someone was annoying her
and she said
she sent a text to me
she's like
it all feels a bit strange
to me
and she put down her phone
and she started pissing herself
laughing
because she knew
it's just real.
It all just feels a bit strange.
And then the phone calls.
And then she turns off her phone
and she's just
and she's giggling away
in the back of the car.
She just ruined
someone's day.
And now she's not
dealing with the consequences.
They obviously start
ringing her relentlessly
and she's like,
I'm a sadistic little bitch.
Thank you for listening.
Just all feels a bit strange.
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?
Crazy thing.
Shady, shady prick. Do you know what I mean? I need to have a chat with you. Come on, let's go. Do you know what I mean? Can you want me to... Shady, shady prick.
Do you want me to have a chat with you?
Come on, let's go.
Yeah.
Do you mind if I talk to you?
Can I talk to you? Thank you.
