Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Boag Williams and Joanne McNally.
It's the podcast that works on the basis of clarity, parity, sharing, daring, joviality, personality, topicality and uncompromisable morality.
In today's episode, we have anxiety, gigging to kids and Vogue's swamp.
Sorry, I have to. It was so funny coming in and the two security guards downstairs and Vogue's like,
how come you got stuck with the night shift?
And they're like,
it's literally five o'clock in the evening.
They finish work at six, Vogue.
It's not the night shift at five o'clock.
God, you got the night shift.
Oh God.
They made me come in and do the pod
at five o'clock at night.
I'm like, oh my God,
it's dinner time.
I had to have my dinner half four.
I won't be in bed until about eight now.
I'll be wrecked.
I have to get a train to fucking Leeds.
I love being on the train.
There's nothing better than being on the train.
I'm raging you're going to Leeds without me.
I know, it's unfortunate.
Are you just admiring me?
Sorry.
No, because I'm just thinking about us getting the train together.
I'm actually thinking because they go...
Are you not admiring my new teeth?
I did notice it was darker in here.
You got them done!
Oh my God, my whole mouth feels different.
Well, I'll tell you what.
George the dentist pulled the other ones off.
And the smell.
I was like, I was actually apologising to George.
I was like, oh my God, dude, I'm really sorry.
Like, do you smell that?
I was like, there's no way he couldn't smell it.
I know it's right below my nose but how disgusting
my yellow smelly teeth
and then he asked me
if I wanted to take them
as a souvenir
I thought no thanks
stink out my car
why didn't you take them?
I couldn't
they smelled
they really were pungent
pungent
I had something removed before
what was it?
a molar probably
oh yeah
well they'll have it
the tooth
or do you have to rip out
with a spanner.
But no,
I had something else
taken out of me.
What was it?
Tonsils, appendix.
I have all those things.
Brain.
I have all those things.
Although I was,
I'm actually writing an article
at the moment
for the Sunday Business Post,
which makes it look
like I've gone into economics.
Oh, my God.
Excuse me?
Everyone wants to know
what I think of my cryptocurrency.
No.
The supplement. I'm writing a piece
of the supplement
about my toxic relationship
with my GPS Google map
that gaslighting bitch
who takes days
telling me I've arrived
when I haven't
fucking arrived
you've arrived
no I haven't arrived
also the audacity
that she thinks I know
where west is
like
anyway
sorry when you leave as well
have you ever gone the right way
first i always walk one way then i'm like fuck other way and i have to turn around and go back
have you ever walked the right way first no because it's completely confusing and gaslighting
but the thing i was saying i don't have is the hippocampus which is the part of your brain that
kind of stores directions and stuff oh no do i i'm missing that i think i had that removed on my
hippocampus removed oh god honestly sometimes honestly, sometimes I forget the way downstairs.
I couldn't find my knicker drawer
without a Google Maps name.
I use it for everything.
Anyway, sorry, I digress.
I had something removed
and they offered it to me in a jar.
I can't remember what it was.
A cyst or something.
They're my absolute favourite.
Popping spots and cysts.
My wisdom teeth.
I said your molars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldars Sorry Yeah Yeah I would have taken them
I would have taken them
Why didn't you?
You're probably out of it
Why didn't I take them?
You know that's one of my biggest fears
To get them removed
I'd die
I'd have to be put to sleep
I was put to sleep
I was completely knocked out
They lean on your
Like what your
They put their knee on your shoulder
To rip it out
Do they?
Do you see Audrey
And my dance partner
Scrapping my page?
What were they scrapping about?
Well Audrey was bitching about George
and then you got
the Meldsworth clinic involved
I tagged her business name
she actually rang me
she's like
Joanna
and I was like
I actually like Audrey's
truthful honesty
yeah she can be
a bit abrupt at times
she knows that
we've had some she wasn't times she knows that we've had some
she wasn't abrupt to my face
we've had some fallouts
what was it
oh you know that photo shoot
that we did
I'm not going to name it
but the one that I absolutely hated
she kept sending me
zoom in
zoom ins
and I was really upset
about the photos
and I was like
Audrey the joke's over now
like it's not funny
oh my god I love her
and she's like
god I thought you
this is what people say to me
thought you were a comic
I'm like yeah
but I also have feelings
like I'm not dead inside
I have feelings of shame
and hurt
and pain
and embarrassment
like everyone else
I'm not fucking Jimmy Savile
I don't know why
you hated that picture
someone
you even texted me
and you were like
please please
I would never ask you
please take it down
it was horrible
it was just awful
take it off the main page
it was just awful
there's some real stinkers
of me floating around
I can tell you
that's that paparazzi guy
outside
he's threatening me now
he's like I'm gonna get you
one day
and I said
if you fucking come near me
with that thing
we're walking up
there's always a pap outside
and Joanne's dragging
her wheelie suitcase
behind her
I'm like hi
get her
I'm like the very opposite side
no because it's like
it's not my world
sorry I have to preface
this entire episode
by saying I am so hungover
that like,
see what's happening,
there's nothing coming out.
Basically, I was down in,
I don't even know where I was.
You always look great,
by the way,
when you're hungover
because you've got like
a film of sweat.
It looks like you've been
using that iconic spray.
They're like,
you're so dewy.
I'm like, yeah, that's because I drank three bottles of Pinot Grigio in about an hour.
I was on my way back from Cardiff on the train.
And because I always have a glass of white and a bag of crisps on the train.
And then John Belton says, I'm not going to get a nap by drinking white wine and eating quavers on the train.
So your woman comes along.
Those different crisps.
What were the crisps?
I like those posts, by the way.
Pringles, anything.
Anything goes.
Anything goes.
So anyway, the trolley lady came along
and she's like, what do you have?
And I said, I'm going to have a coffee.
And then she said to me,
I know you.
You do that podcast.
And I said, I do.
And she goes, me and my daughter listen to it.
And I said, that's nice.
And straight away she goes,
I have a deal on the white wine.
And I went,
she goes, there's a deal on the white wine, you know.
And I went, what's the deal?
And she goes, two for 10, three for 12. And she starts racking up three mini bottles of wine you know and I went what's the deal and she goes two for ten three for twelve
and she starts racking up
three mini bottles of wine
and I was like
no no no no
is that I'm not taking
three wines
three for twelve though
three for twelve
she goes no no no
take it take it
save it save it
save it for later
the prices in London
are ridiculous
save it for later
and I was like
well you obviously
don't listen to the pod
if you think I'm going
to save it for later
and then she threw
in a free bag
of mini cheddars
so by the time I landed
I was pissed.
And I was like,
well, what am I going to do now?
Called one of the girls
and we went bananas
down in Clapham Junction.
Bananas.
Like how wild.
You're a lying bitch,
by the way.
You told me last night
you were asleep
at nine o'clock.
Oh my God.
Oh no, I was.
My train arrived in
at two o'clock.
Oh no.
I started, yeah, I'd had three mini wines by 2 p.m. and a bag of mini cheddars. Oh my God. Oh no, it was. My train arrived in at two o'clock. Oh no.
Yeah, I'd had three mini wines by 2pm and a bag of mini cheddars.
Yeah, but it was three for 12.
I can't miss out on a deal.
Two for 10, three for 12.
Straight away, there's a deal on the wine.
I don't even like alcohol.
And I like,
my auntie sends me the deals and sayings for you.
And I'm like, I f***ed up.
I honestly buy like 15 bottles of Prosecco.
They've great Prosecco.
I don't even like booze. I know. Always have to have a lot of it though. You're such a freak. Well, you're always***ed up. I honestly buy like 15 bottles of Prosecco. They're great Prosecco. I don't even like booze.
I know.
I always have to have a lot of it there.
You're such a freak.
Well, you're always around, so.
I know.
You know?
I know, you need to keep it in storage.
That's what she has on the Pelly.
Beside the Pelly, it's just a bottle of booze.
A bottle of Moet.
And so where'd you go?
So you went out at two.
That sounds like a nice, fun day.
See, your life, better than mine.
Yeah, I mean, then today, of course,
I'm riddled with fear and anxiety.
And I'm Googling.
Obviously, I'm in my room listening to whale music,
saging, doing everything I can.
Obviously, poptisanics, like trying to take myself down off at the edge.
So I start Googling the fear.
And because I think there's some medical reason for it.
Basically, because your liver has to work so hard to process the,
like my liver has been up working.
It's been putting in like a 14 hour shift
trying to process this alcohol.
Like I was still,
I felt drunk this morning when I woke up.
I kind of love when that happens.
Anyway, so I hate myself.
I've no thoughts.
I can't finish sentences.
My head is just like full of mashed potato.
If we'd had to do this earlier,
I would have just been like a hologram
just sitting here with saying nothing. So think you're gonna have to drive this
one vogie okay this reminds me i want to talk about pride of britain oh i can't wait to go to
pride of britain it's so sad i did think i did wonder about the pride of britain though i was
like is that kind of like walking around ireland wearing a poppy how much abuse are we gonna get
for that i don't think we'll get any i did about that. I didn't get any the last time I went.
Is that going to be like a red carpet thing?
Yeah.
So I'll just meet you in there.
No, would you get lost?
I'm not a red carpet woman.
Okay, you don't have to do pictures,
but you have to just walk with me.
That's the way in.
The red carpet is the way in.
How did the catering staff get in?
Actually, it's quite nice food as well.
I'll go in the back.
I just, I'm not, it's too, like as well I'll go in the back I just I'm not
it's too
like
no
you're allowed
you're practically
you're one away from the royal family
let's be honest
if you're Irish
you're Irish
you don't want to be English
I'm not English
you get in trouble
there's nothing English about me
but you get in trouble for everything
like you're gonna get
in trouble for everything
everything
everything
I don't even do that
much wrong
I did all the wrong stuff before Instagram.
I am so glad.
Like, think about me in Grogan's.
Remember?
Like when I, like we, up on, just disgusting.
Oh, well, what are you gonna do?
I'm just glad I didn't do, I didn't do anything like the level of drinking,
going home with soap dispensers in my bag when I was, like, now.
I know, yeah.
You're very reserved when you drink, though.
You never, like...
Like, I fall asleep in the couch and stuff.
That's not great.
No, I don't really do anything.
Like, I don't really change that much,
really, at all.
Oh, I do.
I can get a bit sassy sometimes.
Oh, my God.
You talk absolutely shite as well sometimes.
Yeah, and I can, like...
Sometimes I hit people.
I've never known you to hit
yeah
like who?
like I remember
Andrea said
she was like
you can get kind of aggro
but like I hit them
out of tenderness
you haven't hit me
oh and sometimes
I'll go on Twitter
oh yeah
that's the aggressive side
yeah I'll tweet
aggressively
and then delete it
I go through phases
where I go
buck wild
yeah
and my wheels
come off
and then I put my wheels
back on
and then my wheels
come off
and then I put my wheels
back on
which I think that's why
I've got a horn for mechanics
because I need to be
with the man who knows
how to put wheels on and off
I think that's why
I have such a horn
for mechanics
we did walk by
one of the
well it wasn't a mechanic
necessarily
it was just a guy
like looking into his
what's that called
bonnet
yeah
John I told you
it's half five
I should be winding down
you have the best life
do you think I've got a good life
I think you have a great life
I think you're always out
you're always doing stuff you're always out, you're always doing stuff,
you're always for dinner,
you're always fucking walking in
sweating what I have for...
I've also been dealing with
a lot of very upset women in my DMs
who didn't realise their boyfriend
actually hates them for seven minutes
after they climaxed.
So there's been a lot going on in the DMs.
And the mechanic got in touch
to say I was right
did he?
he was like
hate's a bit strong
but yeah you definitely
want to be like
on your own in a room
and I was like
yeah a shed
that's what I said
you're right in the shed
fixing a radio
but anyway
I'm doing a lot of
these freshers gigs
so I've been travelling
around doing that
I was in Bristol
Buckinghamshire
Leeds
Cardiff
you've already been to Leeds
sorry no I'm going to Leeds tomorrow
they're born
three weeks ago
1993 probably
1997
no 2003
they're born
right
97 was 30 years ago
was 97 30 years ago
91 is 30 years ago
93 is 30 years ago
listen Joe
do I look like a calculator to you
I'm very good at multiplication
that's all you need to know right
so you're going
to do all these
freshers bits
so you walk in
and they're so
young and I
stupidly think
I'm young
that's why
yesterday I
drank like I
got my
leaving cert
results
like I was
just went
bananas
right
because I
think I've
got like
I've got a
young vibe
right
I was like
I'm not even
young enough
for these guys
and I was like
what do I talk
to these guys
anyone got
fertility issues
like what am I
going to talk about
anyone here
frozen their eggs
anyone here
frozen their eggs
anyway
so I've decided
I adopt the role
I was like
think of me as your
drunk aunt
at a party
just ask me for tips
I'll advise you
so that's kind of
how it's working
that's how you did
in your stage show
that's my angle
that's my angle
that I'm just like
okay these are all
the mistakes I made.
Don't make these mistakes.
I don't remember having comedians at Freshers.
I remember in Aberdeen,
it was a pound of vodka mix.
You'd be going around in bits.
Yeah.
Snake bite.
Wasn't that a thing?
We weren't allowed to have those alcohol promotions
because obviously...
Oh, yeah, you didn't.
Well, we could in Scotland.
I had a shit time in college.
I had a shit...
Great time.
I didn't do anything.
I never went in.
Never went in. I was in nine to five I didn't do anything I never went in never went in
I was in 9 to 5 every day
Amber was in 2 hours a week
I couldn't believe my luck
and then we used to go
oh it was deadly
I had a great time in college
so that's your week
having the time of your life again
do you want to hear my week?
yeah
I've been back to vacuum packing
I'm so dull
I've been spending hours
down at my wardrobe
like get the summer shit out
it gives me anxiety
I have to get rid of it
I've also become a fan
of flowers again
the amount of mails I got
because I posted flowers
on my page yesterday
and everyone's like
we all know you think
they're disgusting
I love flowers now
it's when they stopped coming
is when I realised
I love flowers
and I want them back
no one sends me flowers anymore
because of this pod so just so you know I like flowers who's sending you flowers in the first place I don them back. No one sends me flowers anymore because of this pod
so just so you know
I like flowers.
Who was sending you flowers
in the first place?
I don't think anyone
ever sent me flowers
in my whole life.
Had they?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, but you get cans of wine
and I get flowers.
Can we not talk about booze?
I'm really hungover.
Tell me you're not going to drink
on the train down.
I had to have a spiritual
journey today
to get over that hangover.
Like I had to heal.
I had to spiritually heal
for the day.
This woman actually messaged me.
She's like,
apparently it's good
for spikes in your neck.
And I think she's a yoga teacher
and they have this like
pillow thing.
Oh, I know that, Matt.
Yeah, I have one.
There's like spikes on it.
And I was like,
grand,
I'll just drill my neck,
drill my...
I'm glad to hear
that you get hung over
in theory though
because I feel like you never do.
It's always me ringing you like, while I do, please help me. Yeah hung over in theory though because I feel like you never do. It's always me
ringing you like
what I do
please help me.
Yeah.
I've had three baths.
This one really
this one really hit me.
I mean I was drinking
Wetherspoons wine
I'm not being bad about it.
Oh God.
Look
the truth is
if you're drinking wine
out of a train
and then out of a tap
you're going to pay the price.
Out of a tap?
No you can't.
You can't.
No.
I've also started my Christmas decorating. That's the tap. No, you can't. You can't. No. I've also started
my Christmas decorating.
That's the kind of person
I am, yeah.
I'm organising my bits
for Christmas in Ireland
and I can't wait.
Oh my God.
Oh, come here to me.
Did you see this?
Right, two things
that scared the life out of me.
So you know the way
we're scared of fish
and crabs and stuff?
What the fuck have you eaten?
Oh, you got...
How do you always find
that disgusting stuff?
I love eating out of boxes.
She's eating wet chicken from something.
It's because Jo lets us have free stuff in the canteen.
Not while the mics are on.
Sorry, Jo.
They don't want to hear that, do they?
Actually, some places, it's a thing where you just listen to people eating.
It's like Muckbook or something.
It's called ASMR.
So if people like that, they'll like that.
That's disgusting
I hate listening
listen to you
no
some people have a real phobia
of listening to people eat
I can't stand it
I think it's just disgusting
I don't like
if someone is eating
across the table from me
and they've got like
their fork hanging off their hand
or like they're just being really
unmannerly
I kind of can't take it
did you see something
in the news right
well you obviously haven't seen it
but you know the way
we're scared of fish and of crabs.
Well, no, I'm not.
You are, Gwen.
You said you were freaked out by fish.
You said you don't get in the sea.
No, deep water.
Well, don't go in deep water in Devon.
They found a seven foot shark in Devon.
I, sorry, I know today I have the mental capacity
of a cod liver oil tablet,
but I'm pretty sure I heard something
that they're trying to change the term
from shark attacks
to shark encounters.
They're trying to like
rebrand sharks basically
because they're saying
that they get a really
hard time.
They don't kill
that many people.
Hippos, right,
kill more people
than sharks do.
They look cute
but they're ourselves.
We spoke about hippos
last week
but they are
a very interesting animal.
Oh, here we go.
Don't call them shark attacks, scientists say.
In recent years,
adopted terms like bites, incidents and encounters.
Imagine that.
Oh my God.
Come here, Tisha.
Shark encounter.
Where's your leg?
I had a shark encounter.
Oh, okay.
You know, Max got bitten by a shark
and he's got a mark on his hand.
Shut up.
Yeah, but it was in an aquarium.
I was going to say it's because it was Max
and it was probably like he was in a yacht or something
and it like jumped up.
No, he was in a little fishbowl with the shark
and he bit his hand.
Still quite cool.
Still quite cool to be bitten by a shark.
You and Theodore would get on very well.
He's mad for sharks at the moment.
Me and Theodore aren't really seeing eye to eye at the moment.
Why?
No, Theodore likes you.
It's Gigi you it's Gigi
she's the tough one
Gigi's the one with the
audition problem
look I'm yawning
it's half five
did I mention
it's half five everybody
well you nearly had
a panic attack
when you saw someone
ordering a coffee downstairs
you're like a coffee
at this time
I couldn't believe it
he ordered a coffee
Martin Bruce ordered a coffee
at five o'clock at night
I nearly died
I wouldn't sleep for weeks
I am a hope and espresso martini who came up with He ordered a coffee. Martin Bruce ordered a coffee at five o'clock at night. I nearly died. I wouldn't sleep for weeks.
I am a hope.
And espresso martini.
Who came up with that disgusting drink?
I know, it's sick.
That keeps you wide awake.
One thing that I wanted
to bring up this week, right?
Topic option,
as Joe likes to call them.
There was a basketball player
my brother showed it to me.
And he was marrying this woman
that he'd been with for a decade.
Two children.
She had been on Basketball Player Wives
or whatever it was called.
Some show that we would obviously love.
And anyway,
he kept asking her to sign a prenup.
They had a prenup
and she kept saying,
I'm going to sign the prenup.
No, I'm going to get to it.
I'm going to get to it.
Week before the wedding,
have you signed the prenup?
Yeah, I'm going to get to it.
Day before the wedding,
I'm going to get to it.
They're at the altar.
And then he says,
have you signed the prenup?
And she didn't.
And he walked off and left her.
And that was it.
Done.
Never turned back.
But you see, sign the prenup.
Why didn't you sign the prenup?
He was like, that motherfucker wasn't in the gym.
I was like, wow.
It's gone from like, I'm going to marry you to calling her a motherfucker who wasn't in the gym.
I know.
But like, apparently, oh my God,
you've just reminded me.
The NBA turkey baster scandal.
Oh, yes, yes.
That was it.
That apparently it's a real problem
that women are trying to get knocked up
by basketball players
because they want the money for the kids.
And that basketball players are being told
to take the condom with them
when they go.
So they just like leave
with like a big sack of semen on their back.
Turkey baster babies.
Yeah.
Anyway, well, this fella,
he left her at the altar
because of the prenup.
And it made me go into a hole,
as Joanne would say.
Down a hole.
More holes were had.
Brad and Angelina,
50-50 split of post-union earnings.
They're having real problems at the moment.
Anyone who walks around with a vial of blood of their boyfriends,
although that's not something I would do.
That sounds exactly like something you would do.
It does, yeah.
Old Joanne, not new Joanne.
New, worldly Joanne doesn't do things like that.
Old Joanne gets obsessed.
New Joanne doesn't.
You are a new Joanne.
In the last four or five months, you're a new Joanne.
I know.
My friend Susan is so funny because I slept with one person. I rang Susan. I was like, I'm on a roll. And she or five months you're a new Joanne I know my friend Susan was so funny
because I slept with one person
I rang Susan
I was like I'm on a roll
and she's like
you're not on a roll
if you slept with one person
Joanne
I'm like woo
back in the game
got the mojo back
when I had my like
wild year
three people
woohoo
I know we're pathetic
had a great time
Khloe Kardashian
got two million from Lamar.
I'm not really sure why she would have needed that.
I just don't understand how much money that family...
Like, how much money do you actually need?
They have so much.
What's the point of it?
Like, what is the point?
Do you know what else I wonder about them?
You know the bickies they have in those big, huge jars
that are all lined up neatly?
Do they eat those biscuits?
Not at all.
And when do they replenish the biscuits?
How are they not stale?
I don't watch it.
Oh God, I love it so much.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, right?
She gave him 1.3 million
but has to pay him 20 grand a month.
And recently,
well, not recently,
about a year ago,
he was saying that he couldn't afford
to live on 20 grand a month
and he needed to double it.
So he wanted 40 grand a month. What do you mean you can't live on 20 grand a month? he needed to double it. So he wanted 40 grand a month.
What do you mean
you can't live on
20 grand a month?
What are you spending
your money on?
Yeah, but I think as well
if you get used to
a certain quality of life
very hard to go back to it.
I wouldn't mind
getting used to that
quality of life.
20 grand a month
what would we do?
And also he's raising the kids.
Kids don't cost that much.
Do they not?
I'm saying how much they eat.
Not that much.
And I cost nothing.
My mother did it. Yeah. No, I said Have you seen how much they eat? Not that much. And I cost nothing. My mother,
she'd pay,
she'd,
no, I said to her,
did you not pay anything?
And she said,
oh, we made a voluntary contribution.
And I was like, oh yeah.
And then she goes,
oh no, sorry,
that was the dog.
Yeah.
So they just got you for free.
We're literally handing out kids
for free in Ireland in the 80s.
They were in fairness.
Listen to this one.
Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo, right?
They were engaged to be married
and Simpson was to pay
him half a million per pound
gained while married
to him. So if she gained
weight while she was with him, one pound
would cost her half a mil. What?
I know. And he added
in a lifestyle clause and everything.
Oh my God.
I know, but you wouldn't want to get pregnant.
Then you'd be like, oh my God, you'd owe him millions.
That's like abuse.
I know, it's so weird.
Romo said Simpson could not weigh over 135 pounds.
He was very concerned about his wife's appearance.
How mad is that?
Imagine the amount of money you'd have to pay him in January
to be able to just fucking clear out
the bank account.
Jesus,
this is going to be
an expensive Christmas.
I also saw something else
in the news
that I thought was very funny.
So Macy Gray was on
The Masked Singer,
right?
And they found out who she was
and all that jazz
and she wouldn't leave.
She was like, talking to the producers and being like, I don't want to leave. I want
to stay. I want to go back. And it's like, but we all know who you are now. The gig is
up, matey. You're still getting your money.
Did you see your woman who went back to Zara? She got locked in her jumpsuit. She got trapped
in it. She had to go back to Zara to get cut out of it.
Is there anything worse though? That fear
of when you get locked in your clothes and you
can't get it over your head but you've gone
too far so it's literally just at those
what are these things called? Just at your wings
and you're like oh my god and you can't get it up
and you're stuck. I was actually doing a shoot today
and the photographer was telling me this fox
got wedged between his
he had like this concrete
barbecue thing and the fox fell down
the side of that
and a wall
and it stank.
And like,
so he was like,
where is that smell coming from?
The fox had been in like
26 degree heat
down this thing,
wedged,
and his cheeks were like
squeezed up and everything.
He had to get the fire brigade
around for four hours
and they got like a load
of fairy up liquid
and everything
and eventually got the fox out.
Was he dead?
No.
The fox tried to attack him
and then ran away.
Well,
I mean, did you, we know about the hippo
who ate his own owner.
Ungrateful.
I'm trying to have a thought.
It's coming,
it's coming.
It's coming,
it's coming.
Oh yeah.
One of my friends,
well,
a friend of a friend,
a fox broke into their house,
came in through the cat flap
while they were on holidays
and turned it into like
a fox's den.
No.
Yeah. And made a huge big pile of it into like a fox's den. No. Yeah.
And made a huge big pile of clothes,
like lived in,
like moved in.
And when they came back,
he'd been dragging in
like dirty nappy,
like he'd been going through
all the bins
and bringing it all back in
and building this like den
for himself
in this gorgeous house.
And they said,
the smell,
it stank.
And then they kicked the fox out,
obviously.
But now the fox
kind of just stalks
the house
because he thinks
it's his
oh my god
why do they smell
so bad
I don't know
if your dog
rolls in fox shit
you're in for a treat
it is like the
smelliest shit
of all the shits
so then that's
what foxes do
they just reek
they just reek
skunks get a bad name
it's foxes that stink
I was also looking
at this thing
it made me laugh
because I had so many
rules as a child
like all my mates
were allowed to do
whatever they wanted
this kid right
he moved home
and the dad
wants to charge him rent
which I think is totally grand
he's 23
he gets his mom
to do his washing
and he gets his mom
to like cook all his dinners
and stuff like that
but my stepdad right
no one was allowed
to call our house
after 9pm
we had to get up
every morning,
even the weekday mornings
at 8am latest.
We were never allowed
past the house
at 12 o'clock at night
and if you got home
on the weekend
past 12 o'clock at night,
you weren't allowed in.
He'd lock you out.
So you'd be locked
outside the house.
What?
Yeah, if you didn't get in
at 12.
I remember Ashley
was once over
and she was really shy
and meek
and she was staying the night
and she dropped some cereal
on the ground and she went to pick it up and put it in the bin and Neil was like shy and meek and she was staying the night and she dropped some cereal on the ground
and she went to pick it up
and put it in the bin
and Neil was like,
what are you doing?
And she's like,
that's my Scottish accent.
And she's like,
am I just going to put it in the bin?
It fell on the floor
and he like went crazy.
He was like,
my floor is not dirty.
Like he used to be absolutely furious.
Like, you know, the new Neil.
The new Neil's great.
I love Neil.
Old Neil, not great.
Dads are scary.
I remember being at a party once
and we were all taken to McDonald's
and the dad was like
what does everyone want
and everyone said whatever
and I
because I was
a gluttonous little
whatever
I was like I'll have a Big Mac
and I must have been really young
I was really young
and I remember he
he ordered a Big Mac
and when he gave it to me
he goes next time
I'll have a hamburger
like everyone else
and I remember to this day
I was so embarrassed
and scared I was so embarrassed and scared.
I was like,
you asked me.
Next time I'll have
a hamburger
like everyone else.
Well, the Big Mac
is like six quid.
The hamburger is one quid.
And I also remember,
I think it's around food.
I think it's all
the shame around food.
They like make you
feel embarrassed.
Another time I was in
another friend's house
and there was a,
like a jar of biscuits or something. And I went in another friend's house and there was a like a
jar of biscuits
or something
and I went to put my hand in
and her mum
slapped
slapped at it
stop
that is so weird
that's why I was bulimic
yeah
dicks
but that like
I always find other people's houses weird
but like my parents were so strict
that like me and my sister
we used to do kind of weird shit
so there's a swamp around the corner
that we used to go swimming in
except we couldn't wear our own clothes around the corner that we used to go swimming in.
Except we couldn't wear our own clothes in the swamp because my mom would go crazy.
So we used to go to our friend's house who their mom didn't give a shit.
We'd put on their clothes and then we'd all go swamp swimming.
And then we'd come home and put on our actual clothes and then go home.
Why would you go swimming in a swamp when you literally live by the sea?
I don't know. We just liked the swamp.
It's so gross to think that we went
swimming in the
swamp.
It was weird.
I thought that was
a swamp.
No, it was in
Sutton and it's
not really a swamp.
I've seen it since.
It's like a pond.
A large pond.
Yes, you just
went swimming in a
pond.
Went swimming in a
pond.
Yeah.
Stop trying to get
all Bear Grylls on it.
I was in the
swamp.
Deep, dark
swamp.
There was a
crocodile on my
right.
in the swamp.
Deep, dark swamp.
There was a crocodile on my right.
