how can I watch the full
video? I'm like, thank
fuck, you can't watch the full video.
I know. We'd be cancelled.
We would be cancelled. Well, he would
have to do it, he would have to edit the video like
he does the pod. I'm sure we could
demand a separate videographer if we
wanted. Like, it's so stupid
that you hate making them so much you make us feel so bad about it like and you know that
that's what i mean the amount of people who want to see the podcast i think that we should do lives
and then we'll finish the tour in september go to b4 but no we don't actually record all of the the pod
because joanne and i say things that we shouldn't say and joe kindly takes them out for us you're
dead right i thought okay spenny and i used to do this on our pod and i actually got boring because
we did it for so long but i loved doing it and i thought that we could do it together just one
i'm not going to force you into this as a regular.
Okay.
Right?
They're couples questions.
So they're about couples.
So we're basically a lesbian couple now.
Me and you.
Love it.
What would you describe as the happiest moment of your life?
Ooh.
That's like, I kind of, so far, I think that question should say.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, we can't predict the future. I think, I think I question should say. Yeah, well, I mean, we can't predict the future.
I think I can't say either child.
I'll have to say, I'm kind of backed into a corner here.
I have to say it was one of my children's births.
Insert name here, which everyone's listening at the time.
Oh my God, I know what yours is.
What?
I'm so jealous about it still.
Joanne went and got loads of clothes for like 70 off i'm not that much of a
shallow bitch like i do i have been satisfied in other areas of my life i will say though i did a
fucking number on that brown tea the bt2 sale yesterday and i what's the happiest moment in
my life it's probably career based which is pathetic but it is probably maybe when do you
know what's coming up i'm about to put the
hammersmith apollo on sale i think i'll be happy about that i tend to be happy about something and
then in three minutes i'm i'm like what's the next thing forget about it what happened to the
palladium oh do you know another one that i wanted to know describe me in three words and i'll
describe you in three words oh hot driven kind oh my god i definitely thought you were gonna say Ooh, hot, driven, kind.
Oh my God.
I definitely thought you were going to say bossy.
No, if I'd had four, I would have thrown that on the end.
For you, I'm going to say dewy.
That's for your skin.
Talented.
Yeah, thank you.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
I've got to put in erratic I have to
yeah I think chaotic would be yeah absolutely chaotic is a better one chaotic yeah I would
also if we were really to extend it I would um say that you are um
imagine we just keep extending yeah we end up in a full fight yeah we're like kind um
manipulative psychotic
sociopath i was like we've been here for three days girls it's time it's time to wrap it up
go on you're you're bursting to get a fourth out. Go on, hit me with it.
We're like, pretty.
Pretty.
So sweet.
Loyal.
Paranoid, psychotic bitch.
Yeah, like you're highly highly like we could like
still going
here we go
she's waiting to hit you with this
I thought you said three hours not three words
hold on I get my notes I've been writing shit down
for a year now
I'm going to open the word doc
that I have written up.
Let's start alphabetically.
A-nup.
Yes, I do like it.
Cut that out
because it's also not true.
We're only going to get
through a few of these.
What's your favorite object
in your house?
My mom.
Like I dust her and stuff at the weekend.
That's not fair.
She listens to this.
Sorry.
She runs marathons.
Do you know, I know this is very sex heavy.
Your mom listens to this pod.
Well, she pretends she doesn't, but of course she does.
Oh God. I can never meet her. doesn't, but of course she does. Oh, God.
I can never meet her.
This man came bounding up to me
once on the street and he goes,
you need to be kinder to your mother.
And I was like,
sorry, what?
Anyway, it turns out he was a friend
of my mother's friends
or something, I don't know.
But yeah, from stand-up actually.
What's your favorite object in your house?
Maybe the lobster.
I was checking the lobster out the other day and actually it's a fantastic piece of art or actually no um i'm
gonna say an art piece not the lobster because like if the lobster gets burned to the fire i
can always get like there's loads of dead lobsters i can get another one what do you god joe some of
the shit joe has actually written i didn't know what you wanted we got i've just we got joe some of the shit joe has actually written i didn't know what you wanted i've just we got joe to do the couples cards and like he's written shit shit like what's the bravest thing you've
ever done this is an interesting one this is actually interesting for me a new vogue how do
you deal with conflict because we're very different in this regard um i always really like to talk it
out and uh i i need to have it sorted out i can't brush anything under the carpet. I am a massive carpet brusher.
Oh my God, no.
Spenny's a carpet brusher too.
I can't.
I can't bear any sort of confrontation.
I just find it so,
it makes me want to eat my insides.
I can't bear it.
I hate it too,
but I have to get it like sorted out.
I've never known you to bite your tongue.
I'm surprised I have a
tongue left I bite it so much I like I should just be an open mouth with teeth my tongue I've bitten
it so much I can't bear it and I really admire that in you actually you're just like here this
thing happened and why did it happen and why did you do that I'm like that's how bad I am it's
really bad I need to learn to stand up for myself more you have to just say it and just get it out there in the open I hate having to have conflict but I
like I actually had to uh call Amber out the other day because Amber has a thing where she'll go out
the piss and she's great crack in the night on the piss and then she's great crack the next day
because it's like she's almost like in that hungover buzzy mood yeah and the day after that
it's like hell on earth i'm like i remember like getting
flights home early years ago because she'd be in such a filthy mood and i pulled her up from the
other day and she stormed off downstairs and then today two days later after going out great form
so i sorted her out oh i thought you were gonna say the fall is coming no no no the fall never
came because she uh she had a word to her.
But there's certain people you're just very comfortable around being moody around
because you know them so well.
And then there's other people you kind of put on your best face for.
I think that you don't have to put on your best face for anyone.
But I think at the age of our age, like 23, that you have to start like you can't take your mood out and
other people if I'm in a filthy ass mood I just won't be around people I'd rather just not like
infect people with my negativity yeah I know sometimes I can't help myself as do you ever
get that where you're like I know I'm being I know I'm being a dickhead here but I don't really know
how to pull it back yeah how many secrets do you have that absolutely nobody knows I would say very few for myself
because don't tell me anything if you don't want it to get out like someone was saying the other
day they were like oh I wonder what you want close friends Instagram story is like you know
the green ring oh yeah yeah I was like I don't have one I don't actually have one either no what
you mean that you do close friends for other people?
Let me see who'd even come up in mine.
So it's basically like everything's kind of pretty much out there.
I have a couple of things that I wouldn't,
that I don't think would show me in a great light that I'd like to,
that I'll kind of sit on until the day I get cremated and turned into a key ring.
Oh God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, yeah,
I definitely have one or two things that i would never tell anyone
yeah so do i but it's only ones about me if it's about someone else you can be sure everyone else
knows about it i'm the same i used to do it in stand-up sometimes it would take me 20 minutes
to describe to you the person i'm about to tell their secret i'm about to tell their secret you
don't even know them i'm like you like, you know her, you know her,
you know her.
She's friends with such and such
and such and such.
And you're like,
oh yeah.

okay we've got some emails
hi MGTN pod anon please I told my boyfriend I have six months today I loved him I didn't hear it back Okay, we've got some emails. Hi, MGTM pod.
Anon, please.
I told my boyfriend I have six months today.
I loved him.
I didn't hear it back.
I thought I was okay with it.
As I sit here drinking Pinot Grigio
and weeping into a sharing bag of cheese and onion crisps,
I'm beginning to think I'm not all that fine.
Wondering if you have ever used the L word
first without reciprocation.
In fairness to my boyfriend,
he told me he doesn't actually think he's loved anyone in the past despite saying it's previous girlfriends thinks
it takes him longer to develop those feelings hasn't said it at this stage of a relationship
and doesn't want to say it um unless he means it which i do respect he told me he thinks i'm
beautiful cares a lot about me and i'm and he's so happy i'm in his life oh god uh I don't know like it doesn't like does it matter all that much
yeah no no no no get out get out there's nothing there's no more to be done there I know
no no don't say get out sorry six months in I really enjoy your company fuck off six months
in I'll be honest with you I just I'd probably be married yeah several times yeah I'd be married
and divorced by then
yeah
six months is too long
I'm sorry like
and also
the fact that he says
he doesn't think
he's ever loved anyone
that's sociopathic behavior
trigger warning
does she say what age she is
no but she says
her eggs are in limbo
I'm so happy
you're in my life
no
you have to
you have to go now
I'm all about
the psychological manipulation.
I practically have a master's in it.
Oh, if you left and then he'd be dying to get you back.
You go.
You go and then he won't.
You have to give them a room to miss you.
You're just there now.
You're like, I love you.
He's like, yeah, I'm not really there yet.
And you're like, okay, no worries, no props.
He's never going to love you unless you leave and test his feelings.
I'd really be sure about it.
I'd be like,
do you know what?
We're obviously not on the same page.
That's totally cool.
I just don't want this
to go any further.
We're not on the same,
like I'd rather be
on an equal playing field.
No bad vibes.
I'm just going to,
I'm just going to like it
and then just cut him.
Cut him.
Don't block him.
Let him see you're living
your glam sexy life,
but cut him.
And I guarantee
either he'll come
back and you take it from there as a reboot or he doesn't come back and then you made the right
decision because otherwise you're going to end up just falling more in love with him and he's
going to lose all respect for you god well she's already in love with him so i don't know if she'll
end up dumping him i don't know you should i'm sorry you have to love yourself more this is what
i've learned as a woman in my 60s you have to learn love yourself more I think Tina I was thinking Tina's an unusual name you
never hear that but it's not her real name but anyway Tina Joanne says that but I say maybe have
a chat with him and just try and figure it out from there but yeah because chatting is the chatting
really makes people you're gonna chat him into loving you that's not possible okay i am english but living
in barbados love the pod i'm after some advice on converting a one-night stand into a two-night
stand i've recently come out of a 15-year relationship met him when i was 19 and i'm not
i'm now ready to have some fun and increase my worldliness well you don't want it into a two-night
stand anyway new year's eve kicked it all off at one night stand with a gorgeous English guy. He was here on holiday,
so it was never going to turn into anything.
No thanks.
But I was keen to convert it into a two-night stand.
He messaged saying, great night, et cetera.
I waited a few hours to reply
and said something like, yes, great night.
Worth the hangover.
If you fancy grabbing a drink, let me know.
Radio silence.
Pretty much the same thing happened three days later
with another English fella.
Help, I'm so out of the game.
I don't know the rules anymore.
When I last did this, we were still using Messenger.
Listen, babe, you sound like you're doing all right.
Three days later with another English fella.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Just don't text them after.
That's where you're going wrong.
Plow on, plow on.
This is my, I always think, I don't know.
I've always found with one night stands,
I was never able
to cope with
the one night stand
because
I needed them
to want to see me again
so I realised
I was a fraud
I was a fraud
I was like yeah
I can have sex
on a one night stand
I can't
it always ends up
being something more
with me
usually
if they allow it
yeah
because she's used
to being in a relationship
she's
it's the kind of
like a tick
you just
you just assume you turn it into something else you try and see them again whereas these
lads are obviously pretty au fait at doing one night stands and you won't turn it into a two
night stand you're like me you'll try and turn it into a week-long stand and then a fucking
month year a year relationship and blah blah you're not you have to be honest with yourself
are you in the market for one night stand or not probably not actually by the sounds of it
you need to go and match
with the fruit salads on Tinder.
It's what I've always said.
I do think she's doing a good job.
I just think it's the texting
the next day
that isn't doing any favours
for your confidence,
for anything.
Don't text the next day.
You live in Barbados.
People are always going
back and forth there for holidays.
It's like the perfect place
for one night stands.
He messaged saying,
great night.
I waited a few hours
to reply and said,
yes, great night. Worth the hangover. Fancy waited a few hours to reply and said yes great night
worth the hangover
fancy getting a drink
let me know
no they don't want to get a drink
this is what lads are like
they lose interest
with every thrust
he splashed his interest
on your back
it's over
move on
oh god
I'm sorry
Joanne and I
have different advices
but that is
that is interesting
that's all from this extra helping of my therapist ghosted me so keep
