Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Bo Williams and Joanne McNally-Wally.
It's the podcast that works on the basis of talking loudly about things which people usually
say you should, you know, keep to yourself. On this week's episode, we have Demi Lovato
getting triggered by a yogurt, weird Yelp reviews, people complaining
and regenerating magic pizzas. Let's do what other people normally do on a podcast. How has
your week been? My week's been good. I found myself at a music class with Gigi this morning
with other babies that didn't have a clue what was going on. I think she quite enjoyed it.
Are you trying to say that your child is advanced? Is that where we are? Are we actually going there?
No, she's really not advanced. So there's this other kid there crawling around. I think she quite enjoyed it. Are you trying to say that your child is advanced? Is that where we are? Are we actually going there? No, she's really not advanced.
So there's this other kid there
crawling around.
I'm like,
what age is that kid?
Three weeks younger than she is.
She has not,
you put her on her tummy
and she flies
with her hands back,
does not crawl.
So she's actually behind.
It's so refreshing
to hear a mother say
that their child
is actually behind
rather than ahead.
I thought you'd be like,
oh, she's fluent
in Mandarin now
and she's using,
she's solving those
Rubik's cubes in her sleep.
That's what I thought
you began with.
Poor, she is a bit behind.
If you're watching this
from our Instagram,
you might notice Joanne and I
go to the same hairdressers.
See the way,
I have no idea where she,
see the way she jumps.
Like, what the fuck was that?
I was finished with monkey music
and I went on about my hair.
I got my hair done.
Got your hair done. You got your hair done. Got my hair done. Looks fantastic.
Thank you. Very similar to mine. I got mine done first. But anyway. We're very blonde
now. My sister said, did you hang your hair done? And I said, yeah. And she goes, Sue,
you are way too blonde. Cheater. I was getting some abuse online about the hair. I love mine.
It's nice and milky blonde. No, yours is lovely. I think because we had roots for so long,
it looks blonder than it is. Yeah,
maybe. So how was your week? Very good.
I've been
saging. I've started
saging now. I know.
I've seen it. In the mornings,
I've started, I feel like
because of where I am in my life, I need to
start learning how to self-soothe without
using Xanax or gin.
So I've evolved into saging now.
So I think chanting is the next thing.
Saging is like burning this wooden thing
and then you kind of like get out the bad vibes.
I burn mine in a Baraka tube
because I feel that is the ultimate visual of self-care.
Like not only am I saging for the cell,
I'm also drinking Baraka.
I thought you were just meant to leave it
on, like, a saucepan.
Yeah, there is some sort of,
I am going to invest in, like,
a spiritual mixing bell.
For the moment, I'm just, like,
waving it around,
listening to a lot of chill jazz music
in the morning.
Like, I am, I would say,
two weeks away from going
full-blown tie-dye chanting spiritual.
Like, I'm going to be
like swinging out
of Russell Brand,
doing cocoa classes.
Oh, what's that cocoa thing?
I thought it was just
like a hot chocolate.
It's not.
Well, it's some sort
of spiritual chocolate.
To be honest,
I thought it was a load of wank
until I started staging
and now I probably
will be melting
my own Kit Kats
and chanting around it
soon enough.
Imagine we live together.
I wonder how your morning goes because I wake it soon enough. It's like, I imagine we live together. It's like, I wonder how your morning goes.
Like,
because I wake up,
I open my eyes at six.
I'm out of the bed at 6.05.
Like,
how does yours go?
I'd say you do a lot of sauntering around,
saging.
I honestly think
as a single woman in your 30s,
you've no option
when you're unfertilized,
unmarried,
and unshagged.
You've no option but to sage.
The shagging thing is your own fault.
You don't put yourself out there.
You're too busy saging.
Sorry, riding was literally illegal up to about two weeks ago.
So give me a break here.
Come on, everyone was going for walks and putting in the groundwork.
I'm very law-abiding.
I didn't want to shag a lad in the woods.
I'm not 14 anymore.
Those days are gone.
You could have set it up.
I wouldn't shag in a bed like a grown woman.
You could have set it up. You didn't put a grown woman. You could have set it up.
You didn't put the time in.
You didn't do it.
No, it's true.
I just wasn't arsed.
No.
It's so funny because the apps now,
because everyone's let themselves go so badly,
everyone wants to Zoom call before they meet, you know.
It's basically doing a drive-by.
It's basically like getting you to stand on the corner of your road
and they drive by, slow down,
and either stop or just keep driving.
That's literally what it feels like.
You could meet somebody.
I remember I was set up
on a date with this guy,
a blind date with this guy
and he was a babe.
He was really hot
and I was delighted.
Got to the restaurant
and he spoke so loudly.
It made me like,
honestly, I was like,
oh God,
how am I going to sit here for hours?
Like basically,
like louder than you.
So I don't know how loud that was.
Oh my God.
Well, actually my housemate Siobhan was saying
some woman she works with was like,
I'm pretty sure I heard Joanne McNally
on Clap and Comedy yesterday.
I was walking around doing phone calls
and this woman was in her office.
You have the loudest voice that travels.
I'm born for panto.
I should be doing panto.
That's what I should actually be doing. You'd be good at panto. What else have we got on this week? So you're a sage. I don't like sage. I'm born for panto. I should be doing panto. That's what I should actually be doing.
You'd be good at panto.
What else have we got on this week?
So you were saging.
I don't like sage.
I think it smells like wee
and when like James and Brian
are really into,
what's those things called?
You're just not as evolved as me, okay?
Joanne,
I used to go and see a kinesiologist
and I saged years ago.
I'm more advanced than you.
What the fuck is a kinesiologist?
Yeah, you see,
you're not there yet.
You're not there yet.
What's that?
I want that.
What is that?
It's kind of weird.
Go on, what is it?
I mean, just stick to therapy,
I'd say.
It's kind of like therapy,
but not really.
Not with an actual therapist,
with a kinesiologist.
Yeah, but what is it?
Is it like acupuncture?
Is it...
No, no, no, no, no.
It's like chatting through things,
but you're still paying
like 80 quid for the pleasure.
That sounds very bizarre.
I know, it was quite nice though.
She was a nice person.
Very interstage.
And I don't want that.
That's not the smell
I want my house to be.
Do you know what though, right?
Grant, I know that you're
flat out with your
Triple Wick Joe Malone's.
I have a Triple Wick Joe Malone.
Do you know how much
Triple Wick Joe Malone Joe is?
How much?
150 quid.
Do you know what?
To literally sit there
and watch it burn, right?
I got one for Christmas
off my mother
and I was absolutely delighted. She got you a 150 quid one. 150 quid one, right? But I got one for Christmas off my mother and I was absolutely delighted.
She got you a 150 quid one?
150 quid one, right?
Triple wick.
Triple wick!
Okay?
No expense spared.
And we were sitting there
watching it burn
and I was like,
that's unbelievable.
The smell of that,
it's amazing.
And I was like,
how much?
I thought it was about 80.
She goes, 150.
I've never blown
something out faster.
I was like...
So now I'll light one wick
for 20 minutes
once a week
no
no
because then you'll
wreck the other wicks
they have to go together
I'll cover up the windows
and the vents
and then I'll dip my fingers
into the wax
so that I can keep
the smell on me
for the day
whereas Vogue's
the kind of wealth now
she'd just be burning
triple wicks
and then forgetting
they were even there
I don't have a triple wick
I have a triple wick
of something else at home
actually
and it's pissed me off
so much
one of them doesn't work.
And it's driving me mad.
I feel like bending it.
I think candles are hiding to nothing.
I just do it because it allows me to drink in the bath
and look like a wellness guru.
That's why I have candles.
Do you like drinking?
Do you take wine in the bath?
No candle.
Drink problem.
Candle.
Self-care.
Chilling.
True.
This is chilling.
Yeah.
I'm on a radical journey of self-love.
Look, I'm in the bath.
I'm in the bath.
I'm drinking in the bath.
We have such different lives.
You take wine into the bath.
I take a glass of milk
and a dip-dap.
I know.
Oh, I can't help it.
I was writing stuff
because also,
something I was preparing
for the,
I'm doing the,
I'm doing the,
She's doing the job.
John Laroche out of her.
And they wanted to talk about
when I lived with you and I was writing stuff about it and I was like, I'm doing the, I'm doing the, She's doing the John, John the Roth show tomorrow. And they wanted to talk about when I lived with you
and I was writing stuff about it
and I was like,
I'm kind of like the Aldi
to your Harrods.
You see,
this is my issue.
There's no home brand shit.
Like there's,
like there's no kind of,
you know,
I was,
what was I trying to write?
Oh yeah,
it was like,
she's a woman,
she'll have an actual call
on the Caterpillar.
Like,
do you know what I mean?
I'll have like Danny the Dragon, this like in bits cake.
I don't want to be Harrods.
You've got like a Picasso in your toilet and a real Colin the Caterpillar in your fridge.
Right.
I was doing the Steph show last week and they kept calling me posh.
I'm being painted with Spencer's brush and I won't have it.
He's the posh one.
It's very funny though.
Not me.
Well, I'm about to rinse you on the Jonathan Ross show.
So get ready.
Get ready, bitch. Oh, no. No one wants to hire a posh one not me well I'm about to rinse you on the Jonathan Ross show so get ready get ready bitch oh no
no one wants to hire
a posh person
don't put me in that bracket
oh we thought of a new thing
by the way for our podcast
it's going to be called
spoofers
of the week
we love the word spoofer
and Jo we actually
meant to say this to you
we'd love a jingle
if you don't mind
yeah
I'll just find that yeah just get us a jingle what's word spoofer and Jo we actually meant to say this to you we'd love a jingle if you don't mind yeah I'll just find that
yeah just get us a jingle
yeah
what's a spoofer
what's a
oh
sit down child
explain spoofer
let us teach you
come to the fire
a spoofer is someone
who's full of shit basically
but it's more innocent
like a liar is very accusatory
spoofer is more like
oh come on now you spoofer
yeah you're absolutely
a spoofer
I'm only spoofing you
I'm only joking.
Demi, who's really let herself down.
Oh, Demi Lovato.
I mean, okay, Joanne, you explain the story.
Oh God, Demi Lovato's been triggered by a yogurt.
I mean, could there be a more snowflake story?
Look, firstly, I'm a Demi fan, as you know.
You've got to explain the story properly.
People might not have seen it.
I don't know how, but you might.
Demi Lovato, who's riding on all the goodwill
because she just did a recent series of documentaries
because she had an overdose, went blind, can't drive anymore.
Is she blind?
She's lost some sort of vision in her eye.
She was in a really, really bad way.
She did these documentaries all about kind of growing,
healing, blessed, forgiveness,
recovery, blah, blah, blah.
I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Anyway, now I really think
the power has gone to her head.
Demi went into a yogurt shop
in America called
The Big Chill in LA
and basically found
the whole thing
completely triggering
because there was a lot
of sugar-free yogurts on the way up to...
And vegan yogurts and gluten-free yogurts.
Yeah, exactly. Like, kind of specialty.
What used to be considered
speciality, but really kind of normal
now, to be honest.
And came out,
just decided this was unacceptable,
that all her eating disorders were
triggered, and then she started
tweeting at the
yogurt shop and telling them that they had to do better she says people with eating disorders
should be able to go in and feel safe wherever they go to eat said the singer who has been open
about her own recovery finally people kind of went actually you know what that's a bit much now
the poor yogurt shop but actually she what she was trying to do what what i gauge from it what
she was trying to do was trying to take down
the yogurt shop. And this is like a small
family owned business. It's not this
huge chain, not that that would make a difference,
but it's somebody basically, like
if she found that offensive,
like, what, am I
going to find it offensive if they, I don't
know, it's just, it's so bonkers to me.
So, personally, speaking
as someone who was riddled
head to toe with bulimia i never for a second went into marks and spencer or any shop and was like
sorry i can't believe all they're calling the caterpillars they're at the front of the shop
there i find that really triggering never in my wildest dreams because i knew i was like the world
isn't about me actually yeah no a yogurt shop if you don't feel safe in a yogurt shop, Demi,
I'm so sorry,
but you need to get a better therapist.
Like, stop this madness.
I know that people will say,
oh, well, that's her thing.
That's her vibe.
But come on.
Keep it to yourself.
You have to take accountability
for your own shit sometimes.
It's not the big chill's fault
that you have addiction issues.
It's not their fault.
But I think that we live in such a cancel culture
that like, it's just like her doing that,
she probably thought she was going to get loads of backing
and everyone would be like, you're right.
And actually the owner was mailing her back and forth
and she was kind of aggressive in her mails back to her.
Who was aggressive?
Demi.
Demi wasn't very kind.
And it's like, you know what?
That's someone's business.
Like you can't just decide yourself
because they're selling
vegan cookies
that they need to be
shut down
and they need to do better
it's like for the sake
of an argument
some people just have
to get involved in it
and there's no two ways
about it
that what Demi did
is not right
and she should apologise
to the Big Chill
actually they should be
fucking thanking her
they're all over
I know where the Big Chill is now
I can't wait to go when I go to LA.
But like that could have easily gone the other way for them.
And it's just like, you know what?
You need to do better.
I think because of all the goodwill
and the validation she's had recently
because of this comeback and recovery and stuff.
Honestly, I think she's high on her own supply.
And she just thought,
no, I'm calling out all this bullshit.
Like she says,
when I messaged this fro-yo place,
I mean,
suddenly it's just
a random fro-yo place.
She knew the name of it
when she was DMing them
or tweeting about it.
When I messaged this fro-yo place,
originally I wanted to make a point
and I wanted to call out
behaviours or brandings
that didn't sit right with me.
Me.
This is the amount of me's
in this statement.
She said,
as someone who deals
with an eating disorder
and is in recovery
from an eating disorder,
I still to this day have a hard time
walking into a fro-yo shop.
I know that seems like not a huge deal
to a lot of people, to me it is, she said.
She went on to explain,
while she was in the store,
it wasn't clear to her
that all of the diet and food health options
were for specific health needs.
I didn't know that, she said,
because it wasn't clear.
I definitely jumped to conclusions
and probably shouldn't have gone about this
the way that I have
but I'm willing to talk
to this fro-yo shop
to help them get
the messaging right.
They don't want your help.
No they don't want your help.
Look I do feel sorry
for Demi.
So you apologised
but then you took it back.
I do feel sorry for Demi.
I know what it's like
dealing with all that stuff.
I've doubted myself
for absolutely years
but this is just
too much.
It's not their fault.
No, I'm not.
I'm just, I'm really just.
Do you know what it is?
It's like when,
okay, so I'm kind of
jumping a little bit.
Do you remember when Taylor Swift
had a meltdown
about that show?
Is it?
Yeah, yeah.
Ginny and Trinny.
What's it called?
Yeah, it's on its second season now though.
So of course it is.
And they made some joke about her
that she thought was kind of sexist
or misogynist or whatever.
And again, I was a huge Taylor fan because I watched her documentary Miss Americana and I wasist or misogynist or whatever and again
I was a huge Taylor fan
because I watched
her documentary
Miss Americana
and I was like
oh she's so sweet
and lovely
and then she did that
and I was like
do you know what
if you can't have
a sense of humour
about yourself
I think everyone
who can't have
a sense of humour
about themselves
should be taken away
in a little van
and driven off
to an island
like Alcatraz
no crack island
that's what they should be
Alca
Alca melt island
put them all out there
and let the rest of us
fucking get on with their lives
and Vogue
that's why people like you
because you have a great sense
of humour about yourself
thanks Joanne
so do you
well I have to
but you have a great
you could get away
with not having a sense
and you have a wonderful sense
and that's why I think
you are the people's princess
and I want to know
how many people have to die
before you're a queen
that's what I want to know I think quite a to die before you're a queen. That's what I want to know.
I think quite a few, sadly.
How many? Come on.
Oh, God, I don't know.
I'd like to become a dame.
Is that a thing?
A lady?
How do I become a lady?
Wear more knickers.
I mean, I can literally see up your...
Maybe you should start wearing trousers, yeah?
Oh, okay.
She could have apologised better because I can't stand
an apology that then
turns into a
actually no
I'm taking it back
everyone's like
I'm sorry that I made
you
feel like a narcissistic
asshole
but hey
if the shoes fit
that's how I apologise
this is Fanny's apology
if he ever apologised to me
I'm really sorry about that
and then he'll walk out the door
on his way out
and he'll be like,
but I don't know what
you're so annoyed about.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
no, you can't do that.
There can't be,
if you're genuinely
going to say sorry to someone,
there can't be a but in it,
really.
No, you just say sorry
and move on
and it's so much easier.
She should have just said,
you know what,
I just,
I had a moment
and I didn't need to take it out
in the fro-yo shop.
And I just think that like,
but cancel culture for me has just gone so far. Like, I'm worried about things that I just, I had a moment and I didn't need to take it out in the fro-yo shop. And I just think that like, but cancel culture for me has just gone so far.
Like I'm worried about things that I say all the time.
Things that I know that are okay, but I'm just like,
if you say like anything slightly wrong,
people are just trying to like tear you down and stuff.
It's crazy.
I know.
But there's been like, there's been a group, an online group with all my jobs and companies I work for
and telling people how to get me fired from certain things like is that not mad oh my god I don't know why I did it I'd had
like a bottle of wine and your success just really gets to me sometimes but I'll stop haters gonna
hate as you well know I don't want to be cruel to Demi because I think it's I wish she just I wish
she just apologized properly though kind of did it's actually not her. I wish she just apologised properly
though. She kind of did. It's not actually her
fault really. It's just there's a culture
of people get a lot of
claps and boule buses for calling
things out at the moment. Boule bus means clapping.
Sorry, yeah. They get a lot of validation
for calling stuff out. Then they get
kind of validated by the validation
and then suddenly everyone wants... God, we know
who's the worst for
that everyone wants to undermine some everyone's to undermine businesses and she thinks she's some
activist or whatever this got joanne and i on to yelp reviews and the kind of people that oh
oh my god look at you moving things on oh you're so professional oh hey honey because i my whole
thing right if a company i ordered a taco not long ago and honestly,
it was like lumps of poo in a nappy.
That's what they sent.
And I was like,
I could easily have like posted it online
and I was like,
you know what?
No, they could have had a bad day.
So I mailed them a picture
because I am a complainer
if something's not right.
And they're like,
oh, really sorry, really sorry.
We'll send you more.
And I'm thinking,
I don't really want anymore.
I'm just like,
they need to do better.
So I said to them that you need to do better. So I said to them
that you need to do better.
You did not say do better.
No, I didn't say do better.
I'm pulling that up
from the Demi Lovato.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
That's fine.
I just wanted to clarify.
But I would be a complainer
if something like,
Spenny and I will go to a restaurant
and if it's not nice,
I would be the first to say,
listen, like, that's awful.
And it rarely happens
because luckily we have nice meals places.
But sometimes it does or like, or if's rude like remember that girl in that and when we went out for lunch in Notting Hill and the waitress just hated us for no reason from the
very start and you know we were trying to smoke inside and everything I think I was
ah well it was confused ambiguously designed oh and she was yeah so she was mean so well we didn't
complain about her,
but I wouldn't go as far as to leave a Yelp review because I think that like trying to take somebody's business down,
oh, it's just not great.
Well, I did, as I love to do,
one of my favorite Yelp reviews,
I actually put it up on my Instagram years ago,
was this, okay, so it says,
reviewing a pub,
a pub an old friend was murdered in.
He was hacked to death
in front of his wife
and people
not for me really
RIP Stevie
two stars
no
I was like
what has to happen
for it to get one star
like
you get shot yourself
and come back from the grave
to give them one star
Jesus
hacked to death
in front of his wife
and people.
Not for me, really.
Did I tell you about your man
in the,
it was so funny,
I probably have told you,
in the Travelodge in,
I don't know,
where was I?
Wales,
can't remember where I was.
And,
he was the,
he was the barman
forward slash receptionist
forward slash doorman
forward slash chef
forward slash
probably cleaning the rooms.
He was just like, you know, this young lad, because it was late.
I was coming back from a gig.
Yeah.
And I said, can I get a glass of wine?
And he was like, white or red?
I pretended I know the difference.
I was like, I don't care.
And he's like, he's like, all I seem to have here is a bottle of peanut grigio
oh no
and I was like
yeah that'll do
do you know what he poured it into
one of those giant
Amstel
glasses
I ended up having to have a red
because there wasn't enough
in the peanut
because he thought it was like a pint
oh my god
I was like
listen
sometimes going cheap
pays off
I made the money back.
I mean, I...
On your bottle of peanut.
I got a pint of Merlot.
Merlot.
It was unbelievable.
Slept like a baby.
What other ones did you get?
Oh my God, I got some great...
So I did a shout out on the Insta stories.
God, I really got grey crack
out of reading these things.
One time back in the 90s,
a friend of mine bought a pair
of knee-high boots in a shoe shop.
The zip broke and after a week she wouldn't bring them back
because she was too embarrassed to complain and she no longer had
the receipt. That's me. I've never
returned a single thing in my life.
Mostly procrastination, but also
it's the confrontation of it all.
I couldn't complain. You returned from the shop?
I could literally walk out of Zara in a
jacket and it combust in flames and I'd
be like, I've made my bed now.
Anyway, so her friend didn't want
to return the shoes
because she's a bit like me.
And this girl was like,
hold my beer.
Got the boots off her
and went straight back to the shop.
The shoe lady was adamant
she wouldn't take them back,
but I wouldn't leave.
Eventually she offered me
a credit note
and I was all,
I know my rights.
These were faulty.
I demand a refund.
Anyway, long story short,
after quite an extended time
of me spouting my rights
in the package shop,
I got the refund on full
and when I went back to my friend, it was the wrong shoe shop.
This one I really liked as well.
Did you not learn all that stuff in school about like as a customer, if you're right or not?
Did you not?
We learned that.
That you don't have to accept a credit note.
You can get your money.
We were just taught as a white woman, you're always right.
No one gets to question us.
That's a joke.
Okay, so
there was one woman
messaged me about
saying that she'd seen
someone use a mother
in baby space
and she was going mad
but I just straight back
going, oh, that's terrible
but like I've totally done that.
Oh, yeah.
I know a girl,
I wouldn't do it anymore now
because I've matured
and I've kind of...
That's bullshit,
you defo would.
I wouldn't,
I genuinely wouldn't now.
I wouldn't,
I swear to God I wouldn't now I wouldn't I swear to God
I wouldn't
but I know a girl
who drives around
with the babysitter
in the back of her car
so she can use them
Oh my God
100%
Stop
Yeah
I see
I'm such a rule follower
I can't do
like that would give me
so much anxiety
to do something like that
like you know
at the airport
when you've got
like the fast lane
Spenny will just
waltz into the fast lane
where we don't belong.
We haven't paid to be there
and he'll just go in
and like I'm literally
like having a nervous
breakdown behind him
because I'm so embarrassed
and sometimes I just
don't go with him
and he has to wait anyway
because I can't do it.
I can't break rules.
It's good to feel shame.
That's what makes you compliant,
socially compliant.
Like that's why people
don't break traffic lights
because you feel shame,
you know?
Have you ever left
a Yelp review?
No.
I'm a writer
and I hate writing
for my own career.
I'm not going to start
writing on Yelp.
I've enough to be doing.
Well, I've more, I've more.
Ah, feck.
I can't find the actual thing,
but anyway,
this girl must be saying
she was working
in some supermarket
and they were selling,
like, roast chickens and some of them have stuffing in them and some of them some supermarket and they were selling like roast chickens
and some of them have stuffing in them
and some of them don't.
And they have a sticker on them saying
stuffing here, no stuffing there.
Anyway, one of them must have been...
Who doesn't want stuffing?
One of them must have been mismarked.
So this woman came back to complain
saying that the roast chicken she'd bought
said it had stuffing in it
but it didn't have stuffing in it.
But she just brought back the bones of the chicken.
And your woman's like, but you ate it. She goes, well, yeah, I had to give the kid something. but she just brought back the bones of the chicken.
And your mum is like,
but you ate it.
She goes, well, yeah, I had to give the kid something.
But I'm here for my full refund
and your mum gave her $4.99
and was like,
go on about your life.
Kira Ferragami, right?
She's a blogger.
Yeah.
Blogger.
Yeah, influencer.
She has like amazing clothes that she gets gifted.
Like she gets like proper gifted from like Gucci and stuff like that.
Swimming in, swimming in Gucci.
What's her name?
Kira Ferragami.
Okay.
Anyway, Joanne brought this to my attention and she keeps,
she's a bit of a spoofer.
So you kind of see something
and then you don't really believe it.
Like there's people online that I follow
and I'm like, bullshit.
I can see.
When people write those overly long captions as well,
I'm like.
With a picture of their arse.
Oh man.
It's like you are literally just doing that for likes.
It drives me mad.
I'm like, who the fuck has time to read an essay like that?
I'm here for the pictures.
It's only a picture site. Anyway, so Ciara Ferragami, Joanne pointed out to me, now she's
been a repeat offender on this. I have found three pictures where she's pretending to eat a pizza.
And I know she's pretending to eat a pizza, not because it's just not in her mouth,
because she's got a slice of pizza in one hand that she's posing with, and then an entire full
pizza in front of her.
So she hasn't taken the slice
and she's done it like three or four times.
I wonder, I genuinely think at this stage,
because I did a deep dive on models pretending to eat pizza
and it is a bit of an epidemic actually.
Like Emily Ratajkowski, do you know that gorgeous woman
who's got the most perfect body in the world?
Who's kind of her and Kendall Jenner are kind of morphing into
identical cyborg hot twins. the most perfect body in the world who's kind of her and Kendall Jenner are kind of morphing into identical
Cyborg
hot twins
anyway
she was
pictured with this
full
huge big pizza
like
the size of a Honda Civic
in front of her
but it was so bizarre
me and Jo were examining
it's disgusting
it looks like it's got
skin on the top
like facial
show me away
I didn't see it
it's like in that film
where your man,
what's that film?
Cure Fergami.
Silence of the Lambs.
Emily Ratajkowski.
It's Silence of the Lambs.
It's like when he makes
the skin suit.
That's what the pizza looks like
and she's sitting there
with a glass of red wine.
Now, of course, look,
maybe she's one of those women
who can eat whatever she wants.
Maybe she's one of those
witchcraft women
who can eat whatever she wants
and not put on a pant.
It's unlikely. It's unlikely.
It's unlikely.
Anyway, so they're all doing it, right?
Oh, this one with the ham.
Look, it's like a face on a pizza.
Too much ham.
It's like I'm looking for the eyes and the lips.
Oh, do you know what though?
Andrea Horne put me off ham on pizza
because she said it reminded her of human.
We were really hungover in Spain one day
and she's like, we're eating this pizza. And then she's like, it just reminds me like I her of human. We were really hung over in Spain one day and she's like,
we're eating this pizza
and then she's like,
it just reminds me
like I'm eating human
and from that day
I haven't been able
to have ham on my pizza.
Very fleshy.
Also, prawns are maggots.
I never be able to get...
Oh no!
Prawns are maggots at the sea.
But the reason you shouldn't
eat ham is because
I've said this to you
a million times.
Pigs are incredibly intelligent.
A pig,
I'm not saying this
because you've said
Gigi's struggling
at monkey music.
A pig would be smarter
than Gigi and that's not, I'm not slagging G've said Gigi's struggling at monkey music a pig would be smarter than Gigi
and that's not
I'm not slagging Gigi
pigs can use
pigs can use
she's nine months old
and you're already at it
no I know
listen
pigs are really smart
they can literally
basically do Sudoku
do you know
cows cry at the abattoir
and I had a steak last night
I feel bad about it
but I can't stop it.
Pigs orgasm for nine
hours.
And I don't.
Why would you eat that?
I don't wear fur.
It's probably coming
in your mouth as you're
eating it.
Is that what you want?
Is that what you want
folk?
You're sick and they
piss out their skin
supposedly.
No that's a chicken.
That's a chicken.
You eat pigs.
You eat pigs.
I don't.
Bollocks.
Never.
Okay.
Okay.
If I have I have
chronic guilty pudding
in my house you're going to say you're not going to have it if I cook it. 100% not. Bollocks. Never. Okay, okay. If I have, I have chronic guilty pudding in my house,
you're going to say
you're not going to have it
if I cook it.
100% not going to have it.
100% not going to have it.
I'm going to stuff it up your nose.
Not even a super quince also.
Not a hope.
So this is what I was,
okay, so I was like,
I, you know,
obviously I make a lot
of sweeping statements.
I kind of assume that
most people have an eating disorder
and that most people are pedophiles.
And I'm happy to admit
that I'm not always right.
Bear with me, okay?
Paedophile, I hate that word.
Paedophiles ruined the word file
because file just means
a big fan of something.
Like, I could be a Europhile
or a Winephile.
I know that that's not
what it's called.
But paedophiles just ruined it
for everyone.
You are a gymophile.
I'm not really a gymophile.
I've cut my gym down to four times a week.
You're more of a gymmer than I am now.
Oh, let the spread begin.
I'm only lifting 70 kilos a week now.
Absolutely shitting it.
Talking about pretending to eat though, right?
I used to do this.
I probably would still do this on a hangover day.
Yeah.
So I love a bag of salt and vinegar crisps.
And sometimes I've been known to just lick the flavor off
and throw the crisp in the bin.
I feel like it's like I'm still being healthy, but I'm not.
And I once got through an entire,
the best salt and vinegar ones are probably the co-op ones.
They're so salty and vinegary.
So I licked it all off.
And honestly, you know, like a cat's tongue drags along your arm.
That's what my tongue was like.
It was bleeding.
But I had to get through the whole bag. This sounds
like something men would pay to what
you do. I bet you could make
money off selling
live footage of you licking crisps.
100%. Coronavirus ruined it
for me because now I'm on spitty crisps
now. Why were you selling them off?
I assumed they were moist.
Here's a bag of folks moist crisps
that she's licked the salt off.
I've licked the life out of them. Well, I
used to chew sweets and then spit them out, but
I had an eating disorder. Anyway. True.
I have actually, do you know what, speaking of, if I'm
going to slag off Ciara Ferragami for being
the spoofer of the week with the pizza, I did
once borrow my brother's 99er.
He'd got, well, first
of all, he'd covered it in marshmallows so it
looked very aesthetically pleasing but
as much as I like a marshmallow, I don't want
a marshmallow on my ice cream so I borrowed
it for a picture and gave it swiftly back
Yeah, so there's a site
an Instagram account called You Didn't Eat That
where it kind of calls out these
bloggers, influencers, whatever
these teeny tiny women for
using food as props.
And it's always kind of balancing that,
like holding the box of donuts.
I've always said,
it's my life mantra.
If you can wear the donut as a belt,
you're not eating the donut.
Pretty true.
Like just let's all apply that.
But also I feel bad for these girls
because I'm like,
they feel they have to pretend
that they're eating it
to make us think that they're normal.
But you're not normal.
You're a model.
Be real. I want to see you weighing a're a model be real I want to see you
weighing a tomato
that's what I want to see
I want to see you
measuring an almond
dangling an almond
over your mouth
instead of a piece of pizza
like
do you know what I mean
weighing your fish
oh
okay
now I can get behind that
that seems like
a real Instagram post
I actually had my friend
Ashley once mail me
and she was like,
like, because I posted a picture of a pizza
and she's like,
did you really eat that pizza?
And I'm like,
fuck yeah I ate that pizza.
Like you can eat food.
Just this.
Like your body usually sits at a level.
Like I know my weight
where I just,
I have to just train maybe four times a week
and more or less eat healthy.
But like,
you know what I eat.
I eat loads of chocolate every day.
And like,
but you have to have it.
You can't just stuff your face
with crap all the time.
No, and you're absolutely right.
And I should say,
there's a strong chance
some of these women
have eaten these pieces of pizza.
But my point is,
they're using the food
as a prop to go,
hey, look,
I can have it all.
I've won the genetic lotto.
I can do that.
And also,
I've always said that
beauty seems only admirable
when it looks
effortless
so it's like
women lying
about getting
Botox done
or women
pretending they
don't have to
work their
arse off
to stay in
shape
because when
you have to
work for it
it doesn't
seem as
admirable
do you know
that kind of
way people
aren't in awe
of it as much
people are in awe
when it's like
oh my god
it's just good
jeans
there's shame in working for beauty I think sometimes people get god, it's just good genes or, you know. I know, but how do you feel about people? There's shame in working for
beauty, I think, sometimes. People get
embarrassed about it or people can't try and shame
you for doing it. I know, but look at Bella
Hadid and Kendall Jenner, absolutely
stunning. Which version? I know.
That is the thing. Like, that isn't, that's
not what they naturally look like. But loads
of people do look up to that, but it's like,
well. I love, but I mean, oh my god.
I can't even believe that that, their mother, like, my mother I'd love, but I mean, oh my God, I can't even believe
that their mother,
like my mother didn't even let me
get my ears pierced
until I was 25.
I wasn't allowed to get my hair dyed
until I was like 17.
These women are in getting rhinoplasty
at nine years of age.
It's insane.
Hotels and restaurants
are kind of the most reviewed things
on Yelp,
it would seem to me.
But it really is an exercise in creative writing.
This is one of my favourites.
Don't be filled by the cool shit in the walls for a line in on the weekends.
Oh, and one time around 6pm, a rat was running through the main bar
and someone killed it with a bar stool,
resulting in blood all over the floor, which wasn't even properly cleaned up.
This place sucks. Three stars.
What? What? stars. What?
What?
What?
What?
Every week on the podcast,
we want to hear from you too,
because it takes the heat
off us a little bit.
Send us whatever you like.
No dick pics.
Dick pics, please.
Jo wrote that.
Excuse me, Jo.
How dare you say
we don't want dick pics?
We want dick pics.
I have to open those emails. Tough luck. Send us
whatever you like, mainly dick pics, please.
Whether it's a problem, a thought that won't
leave you alone, or a complete dick move,
you can send it to hello at
mtgmpod.com.
We make no legally binding guarantees about
being able to help, but who knows, it might make you
feel better and us feel worse.
Here's the problems. Hi, guys.
I have a dick move for you.
I was once away with an ex-boyfriend
and I had a really bad
water infection.
I was in,
she obviously had a UTI.
Yeah,
they're the worst.
Do you know it's your own dirt
going back inside you?
I always thought
it was the lad
stuffing dirt into you
but it's your own dirt.
Well,
I heard that it was,
yeah,
if you don't wee
after you have sex.
Yeah,
because it's your dirt anyway.
I once had a UTI
on a fucking overnight train
to Serbia.
And honestly,
I couldn't sleep.
I had to,
I ended up,
I'm not proud of it.
I ended up sitting
on the sink in our room
because the toilet
was so far away
and I just was
relentlessly weeing.
It's torture.
It's honestly,
have you ever had a UTI, Jo?
Oh, horrendous.
Torture.
She had a water infection.
A UTI.
I was in agony in the bathroom
and sent him to the pharmacy
with my bank card
to get me some medication.
I looked at my phone an hour later
when he still wasn't back
and he'd sent me a picture.
He'd gone to the pub
to have a pint on me on the way.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
That was the end of that one
from Anon.
Oh, my God. that is something I would do
that sounds like someone you would date
but he's so nice Vogue
no but he's so nice
red flag bunting bunting
oh no
yeah I mean
that's actually one of the worst things I've ever heard.
I would suggest an only child.
Him.
Yeah.
Must be.
Just so used to doing everything
he wants to do.
Or giving a bank card.
Maybe just using some financial difficulty.
Ran wild with the bank card.
I was in agony.
Agony in sending the pharmacy
my bank card to get me something.
It just reminded me of some extra stealing
I've been doing.
And you say bank card,
sometimes it comes up,
you know,
when he goes to pay
and it's like,
which card?
And I see Speddy's Amex
just and I click on it.
I've been caught
because actually
it sends it to his phone
and he's like,
what are you trying to buy?
I'm like,
no, no.
You're like,
it's a shared pot, okay?
It's a shared pot.
I don't want it
to come out of my account.
I don't think I've ever
sent my boyfriend
to the pharmacy
for anything.
I think when I was younger,
I sent a lad to the shop
for a packet of Always Ultra pads.
Not because I really needed them.
I did need them,
but I thought it would kind of bond us
in a weird way.
I was like, yeah, we're close now.
This is what adults do.
Go get me those pads.
I haven't even started my period yet,
but fuck it.
I'm seven.
Let's connect.
Oh, God.
I sense Faye's
get loads of bits
to be fair
in the pharmacy.
Yeah.
You know the way
I'm terrible for
being what we say
mean to myself
so I'll
Oh she's violent
to herself.
She'll get the
megabus.
Yeah.
For a pound.
And she earns
a lot of money.
Well I don't really.
I was earning
before the
Excuse me what did
you spend on your hair this week? My career got shot in the face by a bat of money. Well, I don't really. I did before. I was earning before the... Excuse me, what did you spend on your hair this week?
My career got shot in the face
by a bat in Wuhan.
Now it's back
to the megabus for me.
Hello.
But like,
I'll be on the megabus
for a pound,
but I'll have spent like
hundreds and hundreds of pounds
on salmon ramen
during the week
and then just like
punish myself
with a megabus.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
You do do it, but you do it with the sailing rail as well.
She gets a sailing rail.
It's not that much more expensive to fly, but like for the 20 quid difference, she'll
get the, she'll take a 12 hour trip.
That wasn't the money.
Do you know what that was?
That was to get the leg weights back.
For free.
I don't have to pay for the leg weights on the Ryanair
so I literally
travelled for four days
like it was like
I was going to the Americas
in like the 17th century
it took me so long
to get back to London
just so I could bring
those bloody leg weights
get another set of leg weights
I know
no no no
I can't be bringing
the leg weights
from Ireland to the UK anymore
it's just not practical
plus I don't think
they're working
you're not using them properly
you're not let's just walk around with them I look at them and I manifest no it's're working you're not using them properly you're not much
just walk around with them
I look at them
and I manifest
no it's not right
it's not right
it's like me walking around
with like a resistance band
around my knees
it's not going to work like that
and that's it for this week
remember you can always
send us an email to
hello at mtgmpod.com.
And who knows,
we might be able to help you out.
But I doubt it.
Also, if you've enjoyed the podcast

maybe think about subscribing

Thank you. Bye.
