This is a Global Player Original Podcast. Me, Joanne McNally. Yes, you stood out there, but it is her, Joanne McNally. She forgot. It's been a long day.
It's been a long week.
It's been a long life,
if I'm honest.
Not long enough for me,
I will tell you.
Okay?
I have had several,
I've had some requests.
Some requests come in and
frankly, they're quite rude
and we ignore them.
But some requests come in,
I go, that's actually fair.
We need to start a corrections corner.
There has been
several personal requests for me to ask you to stop talking about death.
Listen, I am sorry.
We are trying to be a lighthearted bit of escapism for the listeners.
Okay, fine.
Let's pretend it's not happening.
Fine.
You're very doom and gloom about your impending death.
It's like you know something we don't know.
Maybe I do.
You're like a sexy Nostradamus.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Come here to me.
Great news.
Go on.
The Elf on the Shelf
is coming back, Joanne.
Are you excited
to start our month
with the elf?
Is that prick still working?
I thought he was a long gone.
That little bastard's coming back.
I've got three of them now.
Oh my God.
It's going to be a busy schedule
for me this month.
I don't know if I can do
the pod every week because I'm doing Elf on the Shelf now. So what's to be a busy schedule for me this month. I don't know if I can do the pod every week
because I'm doing
off on the shelf now.
So what's the strategy?
Would you not just put them
in the pool and say they drowned?
No, I would not do that.
Well, I mean,
it's not the worst idea.
Who started off on the shelf?
Who started this shit?
Some Mattel, I would say.
They're costing me
a fortune this Christmas.
It sounds like a kind of a gloop.
What's Gwenny's thing? Gloop? What's her thing? Goop. This sounds like a kind of a gloop. What's Gwenny's thing?
Groop?
What's her thing?
Goop.
This sounds like a goop.
Who's the goopy mom?
Who does all that shit?
Me.
Oh.
I can't wait.
I've done a collab with the North Pole.
I will one day.
You wait.
I'll be in Santa's house before you know it.
I fucking know you will.
I will be there.
I'm going to Lapland.
Swipe up, Santi.
Go, Santi Bear.
I don't care what anyone says.
I would give Santa one.
I think he's a good looking man.
I would.
Imagine all the stuff you'd get out of him.
Speaking of Santa.
You'd never pay for a bicycle again, folk.
Do you know why once when I was younger,
did I tell you that story go on um you know you used
to do your Santa letter so I'd go wild obviously because it was Santa you can get you whatever you
want and then I got a letter back from Santa when you're basically saying I was uh I was uh I was
asking for too much and I was being like really bad yeah I did and so I got the letter and I was
like Jesus Santa's after writing me that took it into school to show everybody like a little gobshite.
Being like, look, Santa said I asked for too much thinking I was dead.
He's like, I'd had Santa's autograph.
You're like, I drove him to respond to a human child because I'm such a greedy bitch.
Hey guys, gather around.
More, more, more.
My kids actually don't choose stuff, which I love.
So I plant ideas in their head.
How long ago did we talk about Barbie's Dreamhouse which I love. So I plant ideas in their head. Yeah.
How long ago did we talk about Barbie's dream house?
Oh, yeah.
Am I getting it?
It's happening for me because I bought it.
It was actually on sale.
Black Friday.
It was on sale.
Oh, yeah.
Got the dream house, which I really want myself. Is it the one with the slide down to the pool and all?
Of course it's the one with the slide down to the pool.
It is a dream gaff, in fairness.
It's like, I think it's four stories high
and then I couldn't help myself
I also got the camper van
because Barbie wants to go
on holidays
and who am I
to not let her go on holidays
we love a holiday
we do love a holiday
I wonder what Barbie's house
would cost
if you put it in like
fuck all
it doesn't even have any walls
yeah that's actually
really true yeah
it doesn't have a roof either
that house costs nothing
there's some plumbing issues there
you're dead right
a bit of plasterboard
that's a lot
someone needs to ring the landlord
it's falling apart
what did you get in the Black Friday sales
in the end
nothing
oh my god
so I
I have a funny relationship
with Black Friday
as in
it's only new
it's an American thing
I don't know why we're suddenly doing it
I mean it's going on years
but yes it's only new
okay
well it's new here
well
it used to be the thing
that people
it's new here
it's new Jo
I don't like that face now it's new here five Well, it used to be the thing that people, it's new here. It's new, Jo. I don't like that face now.
It's new here.
Five or ten years.
Ten years new.
So what the fuck,
you've suddenly started
doing research.
Since when do you know
anything that we just
podcast?
Did you just Google that?
Yeah.
Fake news, Jo.
It used to be back in the day
and you'd watch it
in the Americas
and they'd be
in the Americas
and they'd be outside
and they'd be like literally falling through the glass doors and all. And they'd be outside and they'd be like literally falling through
the glass doors and all. And all the staff would just be
flattened. They'd be squashed to death because
they'd be going in to get a 10 quid off a
Vera Wang wedding dress. No, sorry, that was
an episode of Friends. Yeah, it was.
Or was that Sex and the City? No, it was
Monica in Friends.
Did you see the Black Friday
sale? And these BBC cameras went
to a PC world expecting this stampede of people
and they opened the doors
and there was just one man standing there.
Was that this year?
No, that was probably about eight or nine years ago
when they first started.
Yeah, because it's all online.
Yeah, and he's like,
I'm just here to drop something off.
I just wanted to refund something.
Well, so I don't get it.
I was like, I'm not arsed at Black Friday
because I was like,
I don't want to buy shit I don't need.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't need a fucking robot hoover
or whatever that everyone's buying at the moment. Well, you do because I have one and you do need one. Yeah because I was like, I don't want to buy shit I don't need. Do you know what I mean? I don't need a fucking robot hoover or whatever
that everyone's buying
at the moment.
Well, you do
because I have one
and you do need one.
I would like one of them actually.
I do see yours kind of
zipping around there.
That's pretty fucking cool
because you could put things on them
and get them to carry them over.
Yeah, you could.
I actually haven't done that
with Rodney yet.
You could stick a wine glass
on that thing now.
Anyway, I was like,
I don't need anything
even though I do
because I have a flat
with nothing in it.
But I was like,
I don't want to go down that road.
I needed to get broadband.
You got broadband
on Black Friday?
So I went on.
Now,
I went on,
long story short,
I got it for half price
on the Black Friday sale.
So then,
when I came out of that,
I can't believe,
she's after getting,
she's no bed,
but she's gotten broadband.
She has no, she doesn't have a
fucking spoon in the house
and she's got broadband
I need to get on TikTok
the second I get in there
I actually
that's what actually feeds me
I don't need a spoon
I can't believe you have broadband
yeah
half price broadband
I got on the Black Friday sale
On a Monday
So I told her to finish on the Friday
But it went on a week
So then
I kind of
I was like
Oh my god
The sales
Yeah
You get all the bits
In the Black Friday sale
And then Alan heard
That I'd gotten my broadband
For half price
And he's with the same provider
Here I'm with that provider
I want that half price broadband
Well Alan Wow I was like Your head's gonna pop off Alan and he's with the same provider. Here, I'm with that provider. I want that half-assed bullpen.
Well, Alan, wow.
I was like, your head's going to pop off, Alan.
You're very angry.
He's like, I'm working hard now for you.
It keeps going up.
And you're going to have it right.
Anyway, I hear him down in the kitchen.
He's on to them going,
I want to speak to someone in the loyalty department.
It's like, how do you know
they've got a loyalty department?
She's a psychopath
He's a complainer Alan though
Oh
If you feel
Because he works in sales
He loves to complain
Anyway
Did he get 20 quid off his then as well
Stop
Yeah
Apparently there's a loyalty department
For people like Alan
Do you know what
Who just kick off
Once a year
When their
Bill goes up
And they see pricks like me
Get it for half price
Well anyone listening to this
Podcast Like me I think you should ring your Broadband provider tomorrow And demand Bill goes up and they see pricks like me getting it for half price. Well, anyone listening to this podcast,
like me,
I think you should ring your broadband provider tomorrow
and demand.
Ask for the loyalty department.
We want 20 quid off.
I got a few bits on Black Friday.
I got all my Christmas presents done.
Everything is done now.
I just have to get Spencer something,
but I'm still working on just like
swapping out something that we're both getting.
You know?
Swapping.
Like, I mean, like we're going on holidays together.
Can he not pay my half?
I'll pay his half.
I said to you, me and Al are just going to swap cash,
which means we won't swap anything because what's the point?
I'd love Svenny to throw money at me and I'd just throw it back at him.
That's done.
Yeah, you're like, you rev me, I'll rev you back.
Happy Christmas.
That's what I want.
He's just not playing ball with it though.
He doesn't want to do it.
What does he want?
I don't know.
Something sentimental.
I'm getting him a coffee machine
because I want a coffee machine
yeah fair enough
I always intercept his presents
from his mom
because she gets him
really good presents
and she was like
have you seen this
Dolce & Gabbana toaster
I was like
Spenny was drooling over that
for his birthday actually
you should get him that
do you know what I was looking for
do you know
do you
because I met someone recently
who has a toaster
that you
it's transparent
like you can see
it's see through
oh yeah I like the idea of that
so you can watch
the toast cook
which is where
that's where I am in my life
I have time now
the tour is finished
I don't mind
I wouldn't mind sitting around
watching toast
it's kind of like
watching paint dry
it's quite high end though
but anyway
so obviously because
now that I have
now that I have the broad pant
now that I have the real sustenance
of my life
sorted in the flat
I can start looking
at getting like
egg cups and shit
like that
I will say
broadband and TV
is what makes
a house a home
you're just such
a big softie
really aren't you
not the kids
get out Theodore
I'm trying to relax
with the TV
it is what makes
a house a home
I think you know what
you're absolutely right
you know
that's what they say
so come here to me
tell me about your week
which is the same as my week
oh this is what I wanted to say
bit of a correction corner
I've had a couple of mails
obviously
a lot of mails asking
you to stop talking about deaths
the next
biggest
mail I had
was that
the email
that we did
last week
saying that
there was a
woman wrote in
saying that
her boyfriend
was spending
all his money
on Mary Jane
and me
well I think
I was
absolutely horrified
that he was
spending it on
some fucking
slag
it's marijuana
I said Mary Jane is just another girl and you were some fucking slag it's marijuana I said Mary Jane's
just another girl
and you were like
yeah we did
we were like
that slag from the office
we were kicking off
well Joanne and I
don't do drugs you see
or slut shame
so Mary Jane
yeah sorry Mary Jane
we didn't realise
it takes two to tango
if that is
if that is what that is
but if it is
we again
apologies
sorry we didn't know
what that was
do you know what
speaking of drugs right
I was out with my mum
and my auntie
and they were talking to me
about this doctor
that they used to go and see
when they were younger
Dr Chapman
and he had them all
on these slimming tablets
and it was speed
yeah
she was like
my eyes used to look
so funny at work
and people would come
and say something to me
and I was like what
the doctors gave them
all speed
back in the day
it was an amphetamine there was just families of women doing drugs together unknowingly and say something to me and I was like what? The doctors gave them all speed back in the day.
It was an amphetamine.
There was just families of women doing drugs together
unknowingly.
Speed.
Getting high all day together.
I don't even know if speed's
still a thing these days is it?
I think it's the amphetamine
there used to be
and there was cocaine and Coca-Cola
wasn't that kind of the buzz
that they got off it and stuff?
Look different times.
Yeah it was.
Different times.
But yeah I do remember
I mean I'm not
I wasn't alive at the time
but the story behind
amphetamines
like there was just these
it was like back
like I'm surprised
that your aunties were doing it
I thought this was kind of
back in the 40s 50s
no it was then
they were given it
by a doctor
women fucking
like hoovering all day
and night
we were just given those
skinny teas
and sent to the toilet
yeah
like it was desperate.
Also absolutely desperate.
Did you watch the Robbie Williams documentary?
About halfway through, I would say.
I was kind of excited.
I think it's really good.
I think it's brilliant.
I was expecting something a little more joyous.
It's not joyous.
It's not.
I will agree with you there.
It's not joyous.
I'm on F3.
And the joy is well and truly sucked out of me.
But I really respect him.
I just,
and you know what?
He's one of those people,
I used to love him
when I was growing up.
He was one of the people
that I used to fancy.
I didn't realise how famous he was.
When they show footage of him back,
which for anyone
who hasn't watched it yet,
it's basically,
I think it's like a four part series
on Netflix
where they go back over his career.
Yeah.
And he watches it.
And then he watches clips
and kind of talks about
what was going on
and obviously they're all
that big fallout with Gary
and all that
but when they show footage of him
he was like 16
when he
he was so young
but he was gorgeous
I know
I used to fancy
the kind of
he's like a
he's like a cartoon character
his face is perfection
but he's super talented
like a really talented writer
and everything
but like
I actually
met him once
we were at the
Pride of Britain
Spenny and I were
standing on the red carpet
and obviously Robbie
Williams was beside us
and we were like
oh my god oh my god
and he came over
and just started
talking to us
he was sound
and his wife
also sound
yeah
she does seem sound
yeah she's gorgeous
in fairness Robbie's
not gonna
marry a munter
yeah he's not gonna
marry a minger
a boring minger
and she was really
sound but I just
thought that they
were really nice.
And then watching his documentary
because he is now one of my good friends
and I met that one time
and said three words to,
I just felt nice to see my friends
doing so well on Netflix.
Of course.
So proud of you, Robbie.
I was so proud.
You've come so far.
Robbie, well done.
I was fascinated.
I didn't realise the fallout
between him and Gary was so bad.
I know, but he kind of,
and I will say, sorry, I'm dropping another name. I met Gary Byler before. Bad. I know. But he kind of. And I will say.
I'm sorry.
I'm dropping another name.
I met Gary Byler.
Because I was interviewing him.
Also.
So sound.
Yeah.
Really nice.
They weren't.
Not all of them were.
As giving as Gary.
Got it.
But maybe they call him.
Say no more.
Giving Gary.
Howard's a.
Yeah. Did you see the news?
Oh God, we're gone again.
What the fuck?
We need an itinerary.
Where are you now?
I wasn't really a boy band fan I'm not even trying to
now
okay here
I was like
I liked Mick Hucknall
how did I
I
I
cannot believe
we've never discussed
Mick Hucknall
Pleasure at the Fairground
Pleasure
no
don't pleasure me Mick though
because I don't fancy Mick not Pleasure at the Fairground Pleasure No Don't pleasure me Mick though Because I don't fancy Mick
Not pleasure at the fairground
Oh
What is it
Fairground is just a song
Pleasure at the fairground
On the waves
Yes I love the thought
The thought of coming home to you
Even if I know you can't make it
We're just like the sugar babes
Joanne and I
Aren't we
Joanne and I at our show We're the sugar babes Joanne and I aren't we Joanne and I
at our show
we're the sugar babes
Jo you can be Siobhan
Joanne and I
at our show
and actually we can't
even play it for you here
because it was
so we basically
we
in our show
Joanne and I
sing a song
and so basically
we sang it live
singing is a stretch
we kind of croak
and shriek
we screeched
yeah
very much like a banshee
but we tried our best
on the first night
quickly to realise
that we sounded
absolutely awful
so what we did
was we recorded it
separately
and sent it on
to be auto-tuned
and then it was played
back to us
and we were like
why
on the stage
for the rehearsal
and we were like
no no no
you need to auto-tune that
we want the auto-tune version
and the hell
room was like yeah girls that's what that is and we were like oh it still sounds like our vocal
chords are being stabbed i actually i really wanted to play a snippet of both of us because
we haven't listened to it back yet but i think it would be so funny like not a musical ear no ears
at all like you know it was so Straight when I was
You thought you could sing
I thought I could sing
You insisted
I'm doing it live
Sometimes
Sometimes people say
I was like guys
I've got this
Three arena
Give me a mic
It's fine
I can bang in
I'll shout you
I
This is like when I
I've convinced myself
I have a good sense of direction
I absolutely fucking don't
I just thought this thing
I always thought I could sing.
There was a time
when I could sing.
No, Joanne,
I don't think there was
because when you were telling me
you could sing
and you were humming little lines,
it wasn't great.
I was about 16, 17
and then it just kind of went away.
I guess I just didn't hone.
I just don't think
you've ever heard yourself back.
Yeah, no, that's fair.
I went to singing lessons.
I wouldn't mind.
I paid money
to Mary Melody
to try and teach
me how to sing
that was her name
she was a singing
teacher in Rahini
where I'm from in
Ireland well I'm not
from there I'm
obviously from home
but it's just down
the road
sorry everyone about
that noise it's
it's the water
we're in the
three arena so we
don't know what's
happening it's not
our fault but we're
not three arena but
we didn't want to
pay for plumbing so
there's just fecal matter i actually walked here i actually walked here from
hoods because i was like i'm not paying a taxi on top of everything you also don't have to pay for
for this show no way and girls you have to pour the pour drinks yourself for the bar because we
said we're not paying for the stuff yeah 100 percent
i don't really remember his hair and down in any one of the waltzes
I don't think that was it
Oh god
Well that's what you were suggesting
Pleasure at the fairgrounds
Stop you've made me have an image of like
Imagine he was going down and you'd just see his hair
That's why he has it
Something to hold on to
Fucking driving around down there
Just Mick walking out of the waltzers With a harness on him no just Mick

Girls Aloud
Girls Aloud I wanted Aloud. I wanted to
announce, not that they haven't done a good job
themselves. Girls on every
Are you announcing
the Girls Aloud are on a new tour? I want you all to
know, Girls Aloud have
reunited. They're back.
They're going on tour. Cheryl
Summer gone, what?
Oh my God. Vogue Williams just told me
I'm going on tour it's wild
it is wild
yeah I know it is
I'd go in a shot
oh we're going
we're definitely going
such good tunes
like the
I
the
Girls Aloud
mega mix
I used as my
walk on song
somewhere along the way
I can't remember
fucking great
everyone loves Girls Aloud
every single
Sound of the Underground
what a
what a tune
to even begin with
they're so good
they're just quality women
you can sense it all of them
but you know Girls Aloud
Sound of the Underground
beat of the drum
goes round and around
is this just a musical episode
that we're doing
I think we're writing
a musical Jo
are we writing a musical
Hamilton
but shit
so I want to tell you something
Girls Aloud said
that Hugh Grant
basically resurrected
their career
in Love Actually
they said that
they were going down the tubes
and then that they were
what?
yeah
and then they got to be
in Love Actually
and Hugh Grant
resurrected their career
and guess who I saw
last week
I'm sure Richard Curtis
resurrected their career
I think we're giving Hugh
a little too much
credit there no I've taken a real dislike their career. I think we're giving Hugh a little too much credit there.
No, I've taken a real dislike into Hugh Grant.
I saw him the other day.
Vogue, what the fuck is going on?
I don't know.
I keep seeing famous people everywhere.
You're like that kid from the 60s with celebrities.
I see famous people.
No, Vogue, you're the famous person
so I see him
sometimes
out and about
just being Hugh Grant
just doing
Hugh things
I've yet to see him smile
I will admit
yeah
but no one's smiling
dragging their kids to school
I think the reason
I've kind of
gone off him
is because I chose him
as my specialist topic
no one knows why
when I did
Michael McIntyre's
The Wheel
and knew nothing
about him
it was a research
call that went
completely off the rails
and so then the show
came around
and of course I
didn't do anything
I'm just spinning
around in this chair
in front of
Michael McIntyre
and he's
asking me all this
shit about cute
I'm like
who?
I had no clue
so I made a total
shit on myself
who was my special
subject on the way up?
pop culture's a bit broad
Hugh Grant
and this is why I know
he's a bit of a
moody monster
he said the role
that he played
which is closest to him
in his whole film career
was Your Man
About A Boy
which I was like
that's yeah
that is kind of
he was like that's the closest to me that's the closest to me character I've ever played he was Your Man About a Boy which I was like that's yeah that is kind of he was like
that's the closest to me
that's the closest to me
character I've ever played
he was a bit of a grump
yeah but he was a nice grump
but like he's obviously a grump
you can see that he's a grump
ah yeah
I mean man
like showing
present company
excluded
because we medicated you
as soon as we met you
didn't we
we said that man is depressed
get him on something
or he's not on the pod
because Hugh Grant was your topic on the wheel he's not on the pod because Hugh Grant
was your topic
on the wheel
do you want to tell me
some Hugh Grant facts
or will I tell you
well
I mean did you hear
the rest of the story
Hugh Grant
he's an actor
of American descent
he speaks
fluent French
French
yes we all do
he had
he purchased
I said that shit as well
he purchased
an Andy Warhol painting
for four million off Elizabeth Taylor
and then sold it for 23.5.
I like that Elizabeth sold it to him
even though they were going out at the time.
Were they going out?
That's Elizabeth Taylor.
Oh.
What?
Who the fuck is Elizabeth Taylor?
She's like this really old
amazing actress.
Is she dead?
Is she dead?
Oh, she's dead.
Is she dead?
When was that?
I like that.
I like that.
She's
That was very kind of her.
Giselle Aduba.
Post-Humas.
That's the best way to talk about people
everyone loves
everyone after they're dead
he won a Golden Globe
and a BAFTA
this is all news to me
he won an Oscar
what?
he didn't do a nude scene
in four weddings
and a funeral
when a makeup artist
asked if he wanted
definition painted
on his body
I would take the definition
I used to get abs
spray tanned on did you ever do that? the definition I used to get abs spray tanned on
did you ever do that?
no
and you used to get
the outer part of your leg
sprayed darker
yeah
no I haven't been in a position
where I've needed to do that
yet
well when I used to be thirsty
back in the day
I've rehydrated since
yeah
but when I used to be thirsty
doing all the bikini
back in the beep beep days
yeah beep beep
yeah
spraying my abs
thank you
but he's obviously
so offended that they're like
do you want a bit of do you want a bit of
do you want a bit of
help there
in your
abdominal department
i.e.
oh do you think
it was the dick department
no it's
abdominal
okay
well I mean
it's a nude scene
I think the only thing
you'd really be worried
about would be the
but did you not say
that they were
read the quote
to me again
after
a make-up artist coming out of his ab he's got big problems asked if he wanted definition painted on his body say that they read the quote to me again after because if his dick
is coming out of his ab
he's got big problems
asked if he wanted
definition painted
on his body
but his dick is his body
but maybe it wasn't
I don't know
oh I would have thought
definition to me
is like
you know
doodling on abs
if you sprayed
along the top
of the dick
you'd give it length
you'd give it length
you'd snap it like a nose
what you meant to do
was actually illuminate
snap it
a little illuminator on the top
I would backing dance
for Girls Aloud
yeah I might
have you seen my dancing
I was going to say
have they seen your dancing
have you seen your dancing
do you know what I'm
gonna do
what
what
no it's not bad
it's just you did it
and you
had a
kind of
I don't know
now I'm scared
what are you
up and down experience
so I decided against
doing it
but I've
I've
it's come back around
and I've decided
I want to do it
you want to do what

you said you'd do it
I swear in my life
Joanne McNally
like I am telling you
it's going to be
that's the worst decision
you've ever made
in your life
a lot of comedians are doing it
they all seem to be doing really well
okay I think you should I think you're really clever but I also thought I was really clever That's the worst decision you've ever made in your life. Well, the comedians are doing it. They all seem to be doing really well.
Okay.
I think you should.
I think you're really clever.
But I also thought I was really clever until I did Celebrity Mastermind.
And they did me over.
Well, it's a very... It does have good viewership.
Okay.
They asked me to do it again.
And I said, no.
Do you know why?
Do you want me to read you some of my questions?
I'm trying to move into television.
Jo, get up some of my questions there.
Get up some of my Celebrity Mastermind questions
And we'll see if you should do
Celebrity Mastermind
You are like
Weirdly intelligent
About weird things
Like you know loads of stuff about
I don't know like
Gonorrhea and stuff like that
Yeah
That's because I have a morbid
Curiosity about STIs
But like
You know
I don't think that's going to be a huge
Win on Celebrity Mastermind
You never know
Important topic
Okay you ready

And do you know what?
The amount of shit I get over being in this.
They're very tough questions.
Very tough questions.
Okay, last one.
What is a common name for either of the triangular bones

I'll have to pass on that.
I would have said collarbones

not collarbones
those ones on your back
shoulder blades
anyway
I don't even know the answers
no but I love that
folk has the questions to hand

Vogue
Congratulations on your number one single
In Ireland
Oh thank you very much
It was probably going to be
Christmas number one
But sadly Shane McGann has passed
So
Tell us
Where did it all come from?
Where did the idea
For Good Girls come from?
Oh well the idea came
Because I had
Absolutely nothing to do with myself
When I was living in Australia
At a time Back in the day When I was living there alone, completely alone on my own.
And I got asked to do a songwriting camp.
And I thought, why not?
I've always wanted to be a pop star.
Why don't I give this a whirl?
And I went and I recorded the song and helped write the lyrics.
Yeah.
I mean, life's a bitch, then you die.
That's.
As we said, I termed that coin.
Coins that term.
Coins that term.
You didn't turn that coin.
He turned it out.
She's like, Alexandra, what's her surname?
When she came back to ITV, she'd spent the summer in LA
and she claimed to have brought the term elephant in the room.
That was what it was.
She had a single called Elephant in the Room
or there was something like that.
And she explained it on occasion this morning
saying that she'd heard
the term in America
and she wanted to bring
it to the UK
and she was going to be
the first person
to bring it
to the UK
I
and that's what you were like
with your lyrics
life's a bitch
then you die
because I haven't
heard that before
and I've also never heard
laughter's the best medicine
I made
I made up
life's a bitch
then you die
that's what I'm saying
and yes
Alexandra
I believe Alexandra Burke
because she's a nice girl
and I think if she
said she coined that term.
I coined a term
at the weekend.
Oh yeah, what was it?
You buy cheap,
you buy,
no, hold on.
You buy,
why are our brains upside down?
I coined a term
this weekend,
go on.
I don't know if you've heard it,
it's kind of trending.
It's you buy cheap,
you buy twice.
Oh, that's clever yeah thank you
never heard of that before
I just
because I kept thinking
about buying things
for Black Friday
I was like I could buy cheap
but if I buy cheap
they probably won't last
I'll buy again
I said do you know what
you buy cheap
you buy twice
do you know what I think
that might take off
I TM'd it then
all around the world
that actually might take off
yeah
so Christmas gifts right obviously i've done all
my christmas shopping except spencer because he's like he's really holding out and wanting
a separate gift to what i want to give him which is my money back to me um but i was wondering like
do you get anyone christmas gifts because like i haven't discussed what i'm getting you but i think
i was gonna ask you because i know the person you are I was just going to say do you want to get each other
nothing for Christmas yeah
yeah I thought that would be the case but I wondered
do you get anyone at Christmas? No
my mum I would and my nephew
so I'm bringing her
on holidays this year oh that's nice yeah
I think we're going to Rome oh that would be
nice yeah because you know the way we're obsessed with the
impending death of our mothers
well I hadn't thought about that though oh this is my new thing it's every time now i'm just
obsessed at my mother dying so i'm like how many christmas have left yeah so if she's annoying me
like if she's you know she's you know she's irritating me i'm like joanne stop it because
one day she won't be here she won't be here yeah that's my new thinking it's great it's really
lovely to have that thought process
constantly in your head
anyway so I'm bringing it around
that's nice
I said to my mum
you know the way we did that
in the pod a couple of weeks ago
where I was like
I'm really scared
I saw Big Ben
and like it might be
the last time I see him
my mum mailed me
and she's like
imagine how I feel
I was like
Jesus you must be in bed
you'd be terrified
I'm like Sandra you're on the way small you'd be terrified I'm like Sandra
you're on the way out
how does it feel
what's the plan Sandra
Sandra we're worried
about you
everything organized
where are the actors
what's going on
the actors are on my gaff
I'm like mum
do you want to start
cleaning out the rooms now
because
it's going to be a big job
for me and my brother
you might as well help
I'm just saying
like I even feel like that about
my own personal items but like my dad left me with everything we had to end up we put it on
facebook that's so grim i know but everyone like oh so because we were young when he died and we
were like right we need to empty his house and we put it on facebook and all these people came
but then some people started ripping like light things off the wall and we were like
we were like you can't you can't rip the the lights off the wall And we were like What? We were like you can't rip the lights off the wall
You can't do that
And they were like just grabbing everything
Yeah
It's so feral
It was wild
So someone's got a Vogue Williams hockey trophy in their house somewhere
Yeah it all just disappears
I know all I have is a pair of deck shoes
I don't know got it in a house sale
Yeah
We just went in and rinsed the place Don't do that I have is a pair of tech shoes Bob Williams I don't know God in a house sale Yeah Some lad died in a house
We just went in
Rinsed the place
Don't do that
I mean they will literally
Rip fucking wallpaper
Off the wall
I've never heard of an open house
Was it kind of
Were they buying it
Or just
No we just had to get rid of it
Because like we had taken
The things that we wanted
That meant something to us
Oh yeah of course
And then it was just like
All extra stuff
And we didn't own our own house
Or anything like that
So we didn't have anywhere
To put it
so we just invited the whole world over
to rip the place to shreds
I do remember
when my grandfather died
we were
all the grandchildren
were let
like into the house
to just take
you know
stuff for a centre
I think I took his pipe stand
which is still floating around somewhere
oh that's a nice gift
yeah
and my granny
I took this
kind of old leather folder and inside she'd all it was all her she'd written all kind of recipes and stuff yeah that was nice yeah and my granny I took this kind of old leather folder
and inside
she'd all
it was all her
she'd written all
kind of recipes
and stuff
so that was nice
and I took a typewriter
you're very good
I'd be looking for the gold
you're like
plying the teeth
out of their heads
open wide
granddad
before the rigor mortis
sets in
there's a gold tooth
in there
so here's a gold tooth
give it to me
I got my dad's
wedding ring though
and Amber threw
an absolute wobbler
but like he was pissed
one night and I was like
I want that dad
and he gave it to me
when he was alive
and then when he died
Amber was like
I was like I'm so glad
I had dad's ring
and she threw a wobbler
that's a big one to get though
I know but we cut it in half
so look I've got half
and she's got the other
well I'm not happy about it
but like
at least I've got half and she's got the other well I'm not happy about it but like at least I've got half
yeah
but I deserve all of it
give it back Amber
yeah
it is kind of grim
when you think about
stuff like that
but again
it does need to be
thought through mum
if you're listening
which I know you do
even though you pretend
you don't
Sandra
I'm going to order some boxes
let's just see how far we got over Christmas Sandra has over 250 hats what does Sandra, I'm going to order some boxes. Let's just see how far
we get over Christmas.
Sandra has over 250 hats.
What does she think
I'm going to do with them?
Mom, it's time to clear out.
I'd be like,
Sandra, you're getting buried
in those hats.
We're going to need
an extra long coffin
because you're going to have
quite the head appendage.
And another one.
And another one. And another one.
Do you want me to tell Hugh when I see him
what you think about him?
Yeah.
Okay, I might do that.
Because I know he listens to the pot.
Why don't you go... You tell me to stop talking about death
Sorry
No
I just meant yours
Okay fine
I wasn't talking about
Oh my god
We never spoke about this last week
Go on
Paloma Faith
Oh the breakup stuff
So basically
Paloma Faith
Her husband This is what I'm gathering From the situation Allegedly Allegedly Allegedly Paloma Faith. Oh the breakup stuff. So basically Paloma Faith her husband
this is what I'm gathering
from the situation
allegedly, allegedly, allegedly.
Yeah we don't know full details.
Her marriage split up
from the way she's talking
I feel like she didn't
want it to split up.
That's the buzz I got from it.
So she kind of wanted him back
basically.
So she took out
she's got an album out
and she took out
she rented a huge billboard
because you can choose
where your ads go and she rented a huge billboard because you can choose where your ads go.
And she rented a huge billboard at the end of his road.
It's amazing.
It's really smart.
I think it's such a clever move.
Yeah, it is.
Also, it is.
Let's, let's, let's not pretend it's not slightly psychotic.
Ah, yeah, but I'd do that.
Definitely.
If I could do that, I would do that.
I would do it, but I'd go extra psychotic
and I'd make someone
call to his door
and say it wasn't me
or something
do you know what I mean
I'd need to have
all my bases covered
oh there'd be some
serious talking
going on as well
like 100%
but I remember
when I broke up
from a long term relationship
and we were discussing
this in Australia
so my auntie took me
to buy all new bras
and knickers
like she was setting me up
for the next fella
and I thought
that's actually a lovely idea.
Thank you.
That's your auntie saying,
get your mojo back.
Yeah.
And get out there.
And get out there.
And like, pretend that you have a tit.
Let's get this triple padded bra.
Yeah, exactly.
And then somebody might catch your eye.
I saw someone on TikTok,
a woman on TikTok,
she had these like...
On TikTok?
Were you looking at TikTok?
No.
I've got an half price broadband like what the fuck
am I supposed to do
gotta use it
she was having
a huge big
they looked amazing
they looked so natural
these
kind of
implant
like kind of
like they
oh the chicken fillets
well their chicken
their chicken fillets
have really come on
oh they have
yeah
in our day
they literally
they'd be falling out
and everything
yeah
these like kind of sandbags they literally they'd be falling out and everything yeah these like kind of
sandbags of flowers
I'd just be falling apart
like my tits would fall down
out of my bra
my hair extensions would come out
because they were clippings
I'd literally fall apart
as the night went on
you were fake news
fake news
I was literally in bits
fake news
that's why
when I was on the dating apps
I never went really
heavy on
the filtering on photos because I was like I don't want to turn up and look and see disappointment in their face.
I'll save that for when they fucking get to know me.
I don't want it on their face the second you walk up and they're like, oh, hold on.
That's, you know what I mean?
But I've met people's partners and like they've like I've seen them online
I'm like oh my god
like I'm never going on holidays
with that person
in a million years
and like I've met them
and I'm like wait
who is that
who's this person
I thought that you were
going out with her
and then it's like
oh no that is that person
you want to look like
what you would look like
in real life
but the photo is all
it's the same with like
when I go on a date
with lads
you have to remind yourself
that if they're hot
in the photo
you know
that's the best
best
version
of themselves
well you're not going to put an ugly picture up in fairness
no you're not
but they can be very misleading
they really can
and then you'll meet them and be like
yeah that does look like you
but there's
you're not attractive at all
if you get me
anyway it's not all about looks
it actually isn't
it's really not
no it's not
like look at Spencer.
He's absolutely rotten.
Yeah.
Well, everyone,
that would be
the end of our episode
of My Therapist Goes.
I mean, we were about
to go on stage
at the Three Arena
for a second night.
I'm very excited, Joanne.
I think that's why
that we're,
I think we're a bit
feather-headed today.
Excuse me?
Is that what it's called?
Yeah.
We're a bit like,
kind of.
I feel very warm in the face.
Hmm.
What's happening?
Oh, actually, yeah,
I think I am pissed.
I'm pissed.
Are you pissed?
I'm pissed.
Oh my God.
That's what it is.
That is so funny
that you don't even know
the symptoms
because it never happens to you.
You're like, oh, I can't drive.
I'm in the river.
What's happening?
Oh my God, I'm pissed.
That's hilarious.
That's what's happened.
Sorry, everyone, about that.
I'm the opposite,
because I'm not really drinking at the moment.
And I keep waking up and getting loads of life admin done.
And you know the way I've had two phone bills
For two years
Because I haven't
Wanted to ring the company
Oh my god
And because I'm not sure
I woke up
And my mind is so clear
It's crazy
And Alan's like
Your face is half the size
Oh my god
All the bloating is gone
I can feel the face
Coming now
That you're right
It does
Yeah
We swap places
I'm drinking heavy
Joanna's not drinking
so there you go
anyway look
see you later
life's a rollercoaster
or a pleasurable fairground
what did you
what did you think it was
pleasurable fairground
it sounds like
a Julie Cooper novel Thank you.
