Hello and welcome to My Therapist Ghosts and Me with Me,
Mo Gwilliams and Joanne McNally.
I love your necklace.

It's like if I could be a dog.
It's Tilly, it's Tilly. Tilly Seavass.
Tilly Seavass.
Yeah.
She's got amazing stuff.
Oh my God, it's so chunky.
I just, I once found a little thing that went on a handbag.
Remember that?
And we started wearing it as a necklace.
I didn't realise it was a handle.
I didn't realise it was a handbag handle.
I just thought it was a necklace.
It was the size, it was, it was bigger than a bike chain.
It weighed you down.
I loved it.
Yeah.
But I have, I used to wear much bigger jewellery.
I have kind of reduced because it was getting a bit ridiculous.
Remember the big Joanne I got made? Do you remember this?wellery I have kind of reduced because it was getting a bit ridiculous remember the big Joanne
I got made
do you remember this
this huge big gold
oh everyone was getting them made
plastic Joanne
yeah
no it's nice having your little name tag
this was like
it was the size of
what was it
a pint of milk
yeah yeah yeah
but she's got gorgeous
I'm building myself up
she's got some gorgeous
silver chunky things
oh I know
I'm trying to
are you trying to go silver a bit
well I'd mix it up
but I'm going to see if she has clarinet because I just I know I'm oh I know I'm trying to are you trying to go silver a bit well I'd mix it up but I'm going to see if she has
clarina
because I just
don't know
if I can
part again
do you know
like you know
did you see her
with the
so Kylie Jenner
wore
her bracelets
and they're these
silver chunky bracelets
but before I knew
they were hers
I saw Kylie Jenner
wearing them
and in my mind
I thought
I want to be as rich as Kylie Jenner so I can have things like that.
And then I found out they were Tilly Sivas.
And although they're expensive, they're not like Kylie Jenner expensive.
No, they're not Kylie Jenner expensive.
But I will clarn it if I'm going to get five.
Because you need five.
You need the stack.
You need the whole thing.
And we're clarning that.
But like I did.
I did because she gifted me this because she very kindly was like, can I gift you something?
And of course, I took the biggest thing on the on the website, not out of greed.
It was just my favorite thing.
Yeah.
But and then I did tag her in it when I did.
There was a photo of me down in Birmingham.
And I did tag her.
And I was like, I'm sure she's thrilled considering she's quite busy now with Kylie Jenner.
I was like, you're welcome, Tilly.
Did she even do it?
Did she even harsh your tag or not?
I think she just put a vomit face
underneath it
she was like
yeah thanks Joanne
thanks for the
sorry you can hear me
rustling in my
makeup bag here
I had a big weekend
and as you know
I love getting filmed
and so I'm trying to
see if I need to
powder
or do anything
filmed
filmed
I love getting filmed
I had a big weekend
it was
I had four days
of wine and crisps with very little else so that's why I'm wearing this kind of muumuu thing Films I love getting But on a big weekend It was I had four days Of wine
And crisps
With very little else
So that's why I'm wearing
This kind of Miu Miu thing
And I'm looking to see
Do I need to
Do I need to fix anything
No I always
Are you sure
When you think you look shite
You don't actually look shite
You're quite hard on yourself
Are you saying that
When I think I look great
I don't
That sounded like
You were going to spin
Well when you think you look great
No you do look great
When you look great
Like when you have like
People in doing your hair and makeup
like everyone looks great
yeah I do
I think because I'm so lazy
with my look
do you see what she's doing
with her powder brush
Jimmo is my face
the same colour as my neck
because that's never been
anything I've been able to achieve
yeah she's
she's actually saying
she's not quite sure
I
do you know what I
do you know what I actually need
what
apart from a new
soundbile and some sage.
I need someone to actually tell me
what foundation actually matches my face.
Well, I am sick to death.
You need two.
You need one for your tan days
and you need one for your not tan days.
Well, I don't.
I don't.
You don't?
I've gone so lazy.
Now, you do look a bit pasty.
Do you know what we're going to do for you today?
Because you feel, you feel crap.
You're going to go home.
You're going to put loads of tan on, put a treatment in your hair.
I thought you were going to say you were going to put on for me.
I was like, that'd be great.
No, I'm not doing that.
That's how we started out together.
This isn't self-care if I have to do it.
I need someone to do it for me.
I need to be laid out and painted.
Like a French woman.
Paint me like one of your French women, Vogue.
So I'm back from Dubai
and I don't know if it was Dubai or not
but I got an email asking me if I wanted a hair
transplant. Someone got on to me.
I don't know what's
going on. I was like, and I started
checking my airline and I was like, well I started taking Svenny's finesse ride or something. Like, what's going on here? like and I started checking my airline and I was like
well I started taking
Svenny's finesse ride
or something
like what's going on here
hold on a second now
are you sure
because are you sure
it isn't one of those companies
that are like
hello angel
we'd love to help you
build your profile
we think you'd be a great
come to Turkey
or was it
did they actually know you
were they like
hi Vogue
we're fans of you
didn't even call me Vuge
they called me by my real name
a UK based company asked me if I wanted a hair transplant and I still haven't Hi Vogue, we're fans of you. Didn't even call me Vuge, they called me by my real name.
A UK based company asked me if I wanted a hair transplant.
And I still haven't quite figured it out.
And I basically get a hair transplant like every eight weeks off Hadley.
He puts extensions in my hair.
Not now because my hair is short.
Look how short I am.
Yeah, it's very short now.
I really like it.
Oh, okay.
You said that in a way like, oh God, yeah. No, I think it's really, I think it looks, it really suits you. I mean, it is my haircut, that in a way like oh god yeah no I think it's really I think it looks
it really suits you
I mean it is my haircut
but you can have it
excuse me
your hair's really long
I own Bob's
you've got long hair
compared to me
how could you even
get a hair transplant
because you'd have to have
some hair somewhere else
on your body
and you don't
you're lasered like me
so there's nothing
to even transplant
I'm lasered
or I'm really light
fuzzed
oh that'd look great
in your hair wouldn't it
yeah a little bit of a light fuzz on the top.
Gigi's really taking to her hair again.
Pubes for a fringe.
How would they possibly give you a transplant?
Pubes.
I hate that word.
I know, it's disgusting.
It's so disgusting.
I know, I'm sorry.
It just reminds me of wire.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
Wiry, disgusting.
It just reminds me of when you live with men
and there's just like pubes on the wall, like pieces of art. They're just hanging off the wall everywhere. You're like, Why are you disgusting? It just reminds me of when you live with men and there's just like pubes on the wall,
like pieces of art,
they're just hanging off the wall everywhere.
You're like, what did you do?
Did you hang upside down like a rat and shave yourself?
They shed like the dogs.
Like, you know, you've been in our house,
Benny just like, it's like he goes around
just spraying them everywhere like a fertilizer.
I'm like, put your pants on!
You're like, where did you get your hair going from?
Why is there hair everywhere
he made me feel so physically sick
this week and I have to stop saying it
to him
we have sauna time
we got the sauna
we have our sauna time
who doesn't
who doesn't have a bit of sauna time
but when I get in the sauna I don't want anyone
to touch me nobody is near me in the sauna because everyone is really sweaty in the sauna just. But when I get in the sauna, I don't want anyone to touch me. Nobody is near me in the sauna because
everyone's really sweaty in the sauna. Just stick to your own
lane in the sauna. And so I'm in there with them, right?
And I got back in the sauna because I take a break after
10 minutes because I can't handle it. And I got back
in and I was like, what the fuck
is that smell? And
frying on the sauna rocks,
Spenny had spat
on the sauna rocks. And this is
a very small sauna.
It's a two-person sauna.
And I'm sitting there in the sizzling spit.
The stench is getting worse and worse.
And do you know what he said to me?
He said, all men spit in the sauna.
And I was like, no, they don't.
He was like, are you stupid?
All men spit in the sauna.
And I was like, okay, okay.
I had to get out of the sauna.
He ruined sauna time because I couldn't bear the stench.
It was like... What had he eaten? bear the stench. It was like...
What had he eaten?
I don't know.
It was like rotten old breath.
It smelled like he was really thirsty.
Oh, God.
And I went straight down to Alzo
and I was like,
I need to know.
Like, I know that I'm right,
but I need to be sure.
Like, when I ring you sometimes
to make sure that I'm right.
Of course.
And then he rings me two seconds later
and I tell him he's right also.
Yes.
I'm nothing if not
diplomatic
I was like
no nobody spits in the sauna
actually I've been in loads
of saunas
and Spenny's like
well every sauna
I've been in
he's like
you know when someone
just doubles down
and it's like
you're lying about it
just apologise
for spitting on the rocks
I mean it's a weird
it's a weird thing
to double down on
and make out that
you're the strange one
I thought you were
going to say
when you were saying
he fried
I honestly thought you were going to say like you were saying he fried I honestly thought you
were going to say like
an egg or something
which I was like that
would have been very
strange that would have
been nicer a nicer scent
between this and the
hair you need to get
your own place this has
gone on long enough
I was only talking I
was saying today I was
like because Benny's
announced his big run
that he's doing he's
doing 30 marathons in
30 days for charity
in the desert in
Jordan on sand and
I was only saying to myself and Amber I was like god he'll be away for 40 days the place will be
spotless for what's I did see that weird giant run that he's doing which kind of feels like a
suicide attempt to me I'm a bit worried about it I'm like I hope your affairs are in order as in
I hope everything is directed towards me like have you have you sorted that out? And she was like, yes, all my affairs.
Everyone knows what to do if I die
and the affairs come out. Don't tell her! Everyone's being briefed on the protocol.
There'd be nothing
worse if you died and people started finding out mad stuff about you. Well, I
know people like that who they died and people started finding out mad stuff about you well I know people like that
who they died
and then they found
there was one
there was one woman
whose husband died
and then she
when she went onto
his laptop
she found all these
kind of like
inappropriate
child imagery
yeah
oh my god
I know
and she was like
what
oh my god
you couldn't love
somebody after that
and there was another
woman and she found out
she found a box
with like all these
phones in it
sorry
no
her husband died
I think this was a TikTok thing
and she accessed
his laptop
and all these
fares
and DMing
and he put it all
on the folder
and she found it all
she's like
how do you
how do you
kind of bring yourself
like how do you process that
because you're like I didn't even know this person.
And I'm grieving this person that isn't the person I thought they were.
And can I even grieve them now?
I found out after being with somebody that they cheated on me.
And like, and for a brief second, you're like, God, I'm a fucking idiot.
And then you have to be like, actually, no, that's not my fault that I didn't know.
Like, you wouldn't expect somebody to be doing that.
Like, I was once asleep
in my house in our
house who I was with at the time and we were
in an apartment and we were living next door to
somebody else that like he used to
have parties sometimes and my
partner went into the next door house
slept with someone else
and then came home
and I never knew about it and the girl
mailed me like she only mailed me
about like four years ago
and I was like
I remember this
oh my god
yeah that is
dirty little bitch
that is low
and also
you're like why
she's not the dirty little bitch
by the way
I was talking about him
being the dirty little bitch
of course
I wouldn't really
to be honest
I wouldn't really blame her at all
no but also
why bother mailing
like why bother mailing
so long after the fact
I know
well it's for you
it's for your own like
feeling better
yeah she's kind of like
I need to make amends here
I need to kind of get this
off my chest
but sometimes I think stuff
is just better kept
on the chest
if time has passed
and everyone's kind of moved on
I don't see the point
of poking the bear
but I found out
after I went out
with someone
that he cheated on me
and what I was so
found so hard
was like, where do I put this rage?
Because we're not together anymore.
It's not like I can ring him up and go through him.
We're not speaking now.
So you just have to kind of suck it up.
The rage has to go somewhere though.
You're trying to fight the urge
to send out a very chirpy DM
being like, I know what you did.
I know now. All those ideas I had, kind of chirpy DM being like, I know what you did. I know now.
All those ideas I had, all those suspicions I had.
Yeah.
I've just been told I was dead right, but now we don't speak anymore.
So I can't say, I knew it.
I can't say it.
I told you so.
Yeah.
Hopefully he listens to this.
I'm sure he does.
On the way to Dubai
I watched a show
and it was purely for
the purpose of this pod
because I wanted to see
what it was like
Was it Taskmaster
by any chance?
Have you bothered your mouth?
I haven't caught up
with Taskmaster yet
You haven't caught up
you haven't started it
Okay listen Joanne
I've just finished Baby Ranger
which I'll get on to in a minute
but the show that I watched
I'm not actually in that
but anyway
The show that I watched
on the flight
was
the Stallones
Sylvester Stallone
has it
remember we spoke about it
on the pod ages ago
we were saying that
they were going to come out
with a reality show
well it's out
we missed it
and I saw it on the flight
and I was like
I'm going to watch
the first episode
I was really enjoying it
at the start
Al Pacino was in it
Al Pacino
wow
why yeah they were out for out for start. Al Pacino was in it. Al Pacino. Whoa.
Why?
Yeah, they were out for coffee and Al Pacino joined it.
We forget how big that...
So this is kind of like
the House Husbands of Beverly Hills
of LA.
It's kind of like Hollywood LA men
all whining and dining together.
I'd watch that.
Although, what do they talk about?
Well...
No offence,
but they don't really...
They don't have good tea
from my experience
you kind of want
to watch what the kids
are doing
it's like that show
Beverly Hills Housewives
but you know
the spin off from that
and you're watching
what the kids are doing
in the office
where they're selling stuff
someone tell me about it
anyway
so I was watching
the Stallone thing
and then all of a sudden
the daughter
like he doesn't like
to meet any of the
daughter's boyfriends
but she's been with this guy
for like four or five months
and she's like
we're going to play a trick on dad
and they basically made his birthday cake
because they always make him a cake and pretended
that he was going to be a grandad and that
she was pregnant with a boy and like
they had this whole thing and then
they're at this dinner and they just announce it and I was
like this is the weirdest shit ever
and I actually couldn't watch it after that
because I was like I just think that's such an odd thing
to do I think any kind of pregnancy
bullshit announcement like that
it really weirds me out
I guess though
if you have a reality TV show
you've got to bring some sort of drama
yeah but that made me switch off
I was like oh no
you're like it's too much
that's too much for like
for watches
imagine we had a reality
imagine I had a reality TV show
they'd just be filming me sleeping
and just getting up
And then lying on the couch
Scrolling through Instagram
I'd love to
You're like a cat
A cat with a phone
Stretching out the sun spot
Yeah
Lying in where the sun
Comes through the window
Just licking my paws
Licking myself clean
They'd be so bored
They'd be like
This is like an art installation
It's like the opposite
Of a movement to music
it's like Tracy Emin's
little bed
you know her bed
yes
it's like when
Big Brother
when they'd leave the cameras
running we'd just watch them
sleeping at night
so weird
we kind of did a reality show
when we went to Ibiza
well very loose
yeah but we had fake plans
do you know what I mean
like they kept us busy
we were like
you know we got our
all that steaming and all
do you know oh my god I have to kept us busy. We were like, you know, we got our, all that steaming and all,
do you know?
Oh my God.
I have to tell you something really embarrassing.
So the style sisters
were over my house
doing a massive clear out.
They come,
they're these girls,
they come do a wardrobe detox
and I literally got rid,
I've got like 15 charity bags
that I'm sending
to this charity shop.
And they came over
and remember before
Dora went through
my underwear drawer
for some reason
she was clearing it
and like I had this
massive dildo in it
but I don't
I swear
like there's no shame
against dildos
but if I was using it
it would be up in my bedroom
like I'm not going down
to my dressing room
to get myself off
sure
so what was
the girls went through
the knicker drawer
and I just thought about it
after
and I was like
do I text them
and tell them that like
it's not a used one?
That like it's never actually been used before?
Well, I bet you differ.
I have used it.
I was actually going to give it to you.
I don't even know if you're serious or not.
I was in looking for blusher
and I found something better.
And I checked,
there was no kids around
and I lay down
lay down
in the cinema room
I did a workout
oh my god
I don't know whether
I should text them
instead you've got the
what's your
the flexi app
I'm going to have the flicking app
where I just like
teach women
just sit on your own
back to the basement
it's disgusting
Duran
you're pathetic you're pathetic
you're pathetic
that only comes out
when you're really
annoyed at yourself
oh god
look at the state
of you
for god's sake
you're disgusting
oh dear
so that was my
embarrassing thing
this week
and I don't really
know what to do
have you contacted
them yet
no I don't really
know what to say
you just
do you know what
we're grown women I don't want them thinking they do about it. Have you contacted them yet? No, I don't really know what to say. Do you know what? We're growing women.
I don't want them thinking
they've touched
like a vagina dildo.
I put it back in the box.
Is it not still in the box?
No, it's not in the box.
Did I not put it back
in the box?
I apologise.
Shut up!
Was it in my box?
Emma, box is Irish
for vagina.
Did you know that?
Yes, I did. You did, did you know that yes I did you did did you
yes
Emma's a lesbian
she knows all the terms
every day's a school day
so I was scrolling
through Instagram
as I do
just as much as you do
TikTok
and I saw
do you ever see those
newborn pictures
where they like
scrunch the babies up when they're tiny little babies and they put little hats on yes and I saw a girl post that and I saw, did you ever see those newborn pictures where they like scrunch the babies up when they're tiny
little babies and they put little hats on? Yes.
And I saw a girl post that and I was like, God, how
stupid is that? And I just kept thinking
that's ridiculous. And I took myself
away and it came back into my mind like
half an hour later and I was like, oh my God, do you know what I realised?
I was jealous.
Of the baby being the croissant.
I was jealous that I hadn't, yeah.
I had not brought my baby for a croissant shoot and so I was jealous. Which hadn't yeah I had not brought my baby
for a croissant shoot
and so I was jealous
which I'm kind of surprised at
but yes
I know
and now like
they're too big
I'm not gonna
he can't be a baby croissant
hold on
surely Otto's not big
he's not too big
to be a croissant
have you met Otto recently
he could be a panini
he could be something
like a baguette
Otto doesn't do anything
that Otto doesn't want to do
at the moment
my kids are going around
with scratches all over their faces
because Otto attacks everybody.
Well, I do think also
it's very big of you
to realise
when you took time away
from the imagery
to notice that you were,
it was jealous,
to identify the feeling
as jealousy.
Exactly.
And I feel like
that I've dug deep
and I've really
taken measure
and looked at myself.
Yes.
But Otto's birthday, by the way, I wanted to mention that as well, because I must have got, I can't imagine how many mails you got, but I got hundreds of mails asking people if you'd remembered.
Joanne did remember.
I did remember. I did remember. And I did a little story about him.
Oh, I didn't see the story.
Did you not? I did because I said happy birthday to Noel Gallagher.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. him oh I didn't see the story did you not I did because I said happy birthday to Noel Gallagher oh yeah
I don't know when
he turned into a
member of Oasis
but the hair
I was expecting to
see him smoking a
spliff in like a
fucking
an Adidas track suit
I'm considering
giving him a spliff
he's so fucking
moody at the moment
Jesus Christ
I'll let him
run around in my
makeup bag
unsupervised
to the grand
something will be
in there
he'll find something
in there
happy birthday to Otto though
for today
happy birthday Otto
well done
I had
I was the worst host
I had two friends
over from Ireland
for the weekend
and
one of them
Nicola has never been to London
I think she thought
we were going to do like
booking a palace and stuff
which I was like
I'm not getting on an open top bus
it's not my fault
you haven't been to London before
you're 40 years of age
that's not my problem
so the two of them came over
I said we're sitting on the couch
and we're chatting
for 48 hours
which is what we did
Joanne
you didn't go in for dinner
we
so then I
I cooked
no hold on I didn't
what did we eat
we must have gone for dinner
but I
the next day I brought them to a I was like I didn't. What did we eat? We must have gone for dinner. But I,
the next day,
I brought them to a,
I was like,
I'm going to book in this really nice
open table,
outside area
in a pub that I love.
One of my favourite pubs.
Because,
it's actually down near you.
And,
What's it called?
The Asparagus?
No,
and it's not the Asparagus.
The Asparagus is sold,
you know that?
Is it?
I drove by really,
there's some really gorgeous pubs over here,
like just amazing.
They're amazing.
That's why it's so hard not to go into them.
They're all just so stunning.
But they're flower baskets.
It's the flower baskets.
It's the flower baskets.
Even they invite me in
and I don't like pubs.
It's not the booze for me.
I just want to be in amongst those flower baskets.
That's it for me.
I just want to be with the nature.
I'm with the flower baskets, guys.
You know, lads reading Playboy. It's the articles for me. It just want to be with the Flare Bats. I'm with the Flare Bats, guys. You know, lads reading Playboy.
It's the articles for me.
It's the news.
It's journalism.
But anyway, I booked an outside table
and I was like, they're going to love it.
And it was the worst decision I ever made.
It was so loud.
I don't know what happened.
And there was like, there was no table service.
It was like, I think they thought we were going to Soho House
and I ended up bringing them to like a weather's bin.
Why did you bring them to Soho House? I don't know. I don't know. I made a really bad decision. And everyone was like I think they thought we were going to Soho House and I ended up bringing them to like a weather's bin why did you bring them to Soho House
I don't know
I don't know
I made a really
bad decision
and everyone was
like what
I can't hear a
thing
and there was
people leaning
on the table
as we were
trying to eat
and pints
and people smoking
in our faces
it was really bad
yeah so I need
to up my game
I think you need
to invite them
back and like
Joanna asked me
three times for a
duvet for one of
her friends
you never picked
it up
I got home it was sitting on the table and I was like no her friend is times for a duvet for one of her friends. You never picked it up. I got home,
it was sitting on the table
and I was like,
no, her friend is just sleeping.
And,
so one of the girls
who was coming over,
now,
like,
I think she thought
she was coming over
to just a fucking
keg on a brick or something.
I don't know what she thinks
I'm living in.
Like,
it was just going to be
a bottle of champagne
and a bean bag
and just me living
in my own squalor.
She actually said to me,
this is,
bearing in mind I'm 41 years of age in a couple of weeks. She goes, come here me living in my own squalor. She actually said to me, this is, bearing in mind
I'm 41 years of age
in a couple of weeks.
She goes,
come here,
do we need to bring
our own towels?
Excuse me?
What do you think,
I'm living in a fucking hostel.
So then,
of course,
and I had enough towels,
I had loads of towels
but then I rang Vogue
and I said,
I'm not,
I said I need more towels.
I want this place
full of towels.
I want towels
coming out the window.
I want a display of towels. I want them turned full of towels. I want towels coming out the window. I want a display of towels.
I want them turned into swans,
ducks,
anything else,
squirrels.
So I said I want an over
oversupply of towels.
So I was like,
I won't use them.
They won't be used.
It's just for effect
because I will not be asked
if someone has to bring
their own towel.
I think it's good that people have you at that level
so they don't expect more
so that pub wouldn't have been bad for them
that would have been a treat
I was like if you wouldn't bring it around cutlery maybe as well
and a glass
if you plan on having a drink
you might need your own glass as well
I was absolutely appalled
were you offended?
I wasn't offended no
it's too strong but I was just I wasn't offended now it's too strong
but I was
miffed
miffed
I was miffed
that's the perfect
term for it
I kind of saw
myself through their eyes
it's like
I don't live like that
anymore
my flat's lovely
I've been doing it
I'm bringing
I've got my
Ross Muirs hung
I found them for you
as well
I have more for you do you have more Ross Muirs hung I found them for you as well I have more for you
do you have more
Ross Muirs
he's a Scottish artist
I love his stuff
he does these kind of
old photos
and makes them
he updates them
they're all like
kind of flapper girls
with
yeah it's pretty cool
I did astroxies
and stuff yeah
anyway
that was the
so I was coming down
to collect the tiles
and the duvet
and then of course
I never made it
what happened
I gave him a tea towel
and I said
that's all I have
sorry
was she surprised you had a tea towel I gave her a what are they? I gave him a tea towel and I said, that's all I have, sorry. Was she surprised
you had a tea towel?
I gave her a,
what are they called?
A scrub daddy.
A jay cloth.
No, a scrub daddy.
Is it a scrub daddy
they call it?
Scrub daddy,
go easy with that now.
That's quite rough.
A jay cloth.
I find it fascinating.
Passing my face towel
to jay cloth.
Yes.
And?
That you, like, I would hate if one of my friends towel to Jai Clark. Yes. And? That you,
like,
I would hate
if one of my friends
came over and slept in my bed.
I can't sleep in,
like,
I'd sleep in a bed
besides you.
Yeah,
there's certain people
you can share a bed with.
Yeah,
I wouldn't be able
to share a bed
with many people.
Yeah,
there is certain people
you can share a bed with.
Yeah.
And I couldn't really
put the two of them
on the couch.
I would have.
You can't.
No,
I would have,
yeah.
I offered you a camp bed. You did, yeah. I was like. No, I would have, yeah. I offered you a camp bed.
You did, yeah.
So I was like,
no, I can't be Irish.
Look at my couch.
My couch is brilliant.
Well, Gareth,
so I've decided
to do a week in Edinburgh.
I'm going to do the last week
in the Fringe.
I'm fab.
I'm doing it as a work in progress.
I'm doing it to just
kind of scare myself into,
because I thought,
I'm writing all this
all this at the moment.
But I was like,
I can't let the stand up
go to the wayside. But I'm down for five all this stuff at the moment but I was like I can't let the stand up go to the wayside
but I'm down for five days
and Gerold was like
I have a spare bed
because he's gone for the month
he's like
there's a set of bunk beds
in a box room
and I was like
perfect
oh I'd take that
yeah
five nights
I love a bunk bed
look at the prices of that place
I know
it's cray cray
yeah for nothing
you're dead right
to be doing that
we need to shout out
we have got
our American tour
coming up
we're going to
America
we're going to New York
we're going to Boston
in October
tickets are on sale
now
at Joanne McDonnell
no not Joanne McDonnell
that's what I was
your one came to my head
as well
and I was like
what's our one again
at my therapist
ghostedme.com
I finished
Baby Reindeer
as you requested
I'm starting
Taskmaster tonight
okay
I've finished
unbelievable
so I finished
Baby Reindeer
it was very dark
very dark
oh my god
for anyone who doesn't know
Baby Reindeer
is about a stalker
this guy who has a stalker
and it's this huge...
It's an amazing show.
It's kind of like...
You said it perfectly.
It is.
It's kind of got the vibe of...
I may destroy you.
Yeah, I may destroy you, which was an amazing show as well.
It is really dark.
It's kind of funny.
Baby Reindeer is very funny.
Yeah, it's dark and it's funny, but it's like...
In parts.
I was like, what?
It is funny in parts.
Yeah.
It is really scary, though. And it's like... There's a lot of it is funny in parts yeah it is really scary though
and it's like
there's a lot of mental
illness involved in it
and stuff like that
but there's a woman
who is a stalker
so the guy who wrote it
is actually starring in it as well
that's the actual person
that this happened to
Richard Gad
and he put out a post recently
and he was like
can people stop trying to find
the two people
so he was stalked by a woman
and he was sexually assaulted
by a man
and so people
have been trying
to track the two of them
they've tracked both
and we think
well he is not saying
Richard Gadd
isn't admitting
that the man
they found
is the person
well the man
they found
has taken his
like and I'm
sorry but like
what he did
was just so horrific
but he has
taken down his
LinkedIn
and he's
taken down his like company he's taken down his
like company website
and stuff
yeah but
I don't know
if Richard
is
he's basically come out
and named that person
and said
can we all
can we please stop
trying to track these people
and kind of
abusing them
some people I really admire
and have worked with
including and named that guy
are getting unfairly
trialled and stuff
but apparently that guy has had to go to the police and everything because he are getting unfairly trialled and stuff but apparently that guy
has had to go to the police
and everything
because he's getting
like death threats
and yeah
people go wild
and also the girl
Martha in it
who's the stalker
she obviously suffers
from really bad
mental health as well
which he was very clear about
he was like
she's a victim of this as well
she was let down
by the system
so people have found her too
but like it is
it is a fascinating show
to watch
but like
I saw this thing in the paper
and we actually weren't
going to talk about it properly
ages ago because it was still a court case.
So Harry Styles has a stalker.
But she's been given prison time and everything now.
This woman, right,
if she put all this effort into having a job,
she would have excelled so much.
She was sending him, right,
she sent him 8,000 letters in a month
it's something like
258 letters
a day
yeah it's wild
258 letters a day
like what is she
telling him about
can I
how much news
can one woman have
Jesus
at least you got her
on this pod as a guest
a leaf flew by
your door today
it looked gorgeous
the leaves are turning orange
they're kind of manic
though aren't they
but can I say something before
you continue? Yeah. Am I the only one who thinks
it's bizarre that he only has
one stalker? Considering how big he is.
I'd say he's loads but some of them are more
intense than others. So I'd say
you can handle a light stalking
but I think when you're getting like
8,000 letters a month and someone's standing
outside your house. They've lost the
plot. Did she outsource
the letters
or like
did she hire a team
how
she must have a writing room
she has to
she must have a team of writers
think about how long
it takes you to write
a thank you card
oh god
I wish I was one of those people
think how long it takes you
I can't even
I can't even
I can't even write
I can't even
I tried to write a diary
and it was like I'd love to read your diary't I start I tried to write a diary and it was like
I'd love to read your diary
got highlights done today
went to Pratt
like it's
there's no
I've not
I don't know where
I don't know where she gets the time
I guess it's because
she's very mentally unwell
I know
but like
it kind of works
I know
I'm just wondering
when did she sleep
because it must be like
20
I tried to break it all the time
20 letters an hour
20 20 letters an hour.
20.
20 letters an hour.
But are they all going into envelopes?
Imagine how much that costs.
Did she post them or hand deliver them?
She hand delivered them, I'm assuming.
The tongue must be wrecked on her licking all those stamps.
Oh God,
it's just like a little cat tongue by the end.
She'd have to have gotten a whole,
you know that they use in the post office
where it's the little thing
that you push the stamp into.
Oh yeah, the little wet thing. Yeah. She stamp into so you don't Oh yeah the little wet thing
Yeah
She probably went pro
She probably got all the
She probably has the stationary
and everything
She probably set up a desk
outside the house
I'm going to tell you
if I thought I was that productive
with a mental illness
I would be
trying to figure out
how to get one
Imagine
I'd have an Edinburgh show
written in a week
You'd be so laser focused
Adderall
You need Adderall
Adderall
Did I tell you did I tell you
did I tell you
I've applied for
to be tested for ADHD
I need to do that
excuse me
and you sit here
and point fingers at me
well you definitely have it
well you have it
everyone has it now
where are you going
yeah I know
if you don't have it
it's like a star sign
like everyone has it
but then they show
they told me the cost
of getting tested
and I kind of wanted to say
I'm only going to pay that
if you're definitely going to give me
the diagnosis
because if I go in there
What is it?
£1,500?
Spenny did it?
Yeah, it's about that.
I mean, he's the most ADHD person
I've ever personally spent time with.
It's kind of just the way people are.
Yeah, but I think it's better
to get tested
because I genuinely don't think that I do have it. I think that I get laser focused on certain things but just that's the way people are. Yeah, but I think it's better to get tested. Because I genuinely don't think that I do have it.
I think that I get laser focused on certain things,
but just that's the way I am.
Well, I just want that written in
so I can write my book for my stand-up show,
my next podcast for the BBC,
write this and have a life.
That's why I want it.
I don't want it.
And a diary.
I want to start a diary
and I'm not going to be able to do it without some sort of...
Listen, you're going to have to
cut a few things out there.
The diary is not going to happen.
Okay, the diary is not going to happen.
You're going to have to lose
a bit of the social life.
I'm not here to tell you
what to do,
but you have to.
Have you ever had a stalker?
No, although weirdly
when I went back to Dublin
the other day for a job,
the guy who picked me up
from the airport
and dropped me into town, also the next day happened to Dublin the other day for a job the guy who picked me up from the airport and dropped me into town
also the next day
happened to be the taxi
who turned up to collect me
for my mother's
and I did think
hmm
what are you doing here again?
what are you doing here again?
I don't know
but now he's
just doing his job
yeah
I have a birthday message
now you know we don't do birthday messages on this okay go on you know we don't do
birthday messages on this
okay go on
don't we don't do
happy birthdays
it better be for someone
very close and a family member
of course
okay
it's for Victoria Beckham
my idol
fair enough
I love Victoria Beckham
that's allowed
Victoria Beckham
turned five out
of late
and she had a huge party
which we weren't
we were invited to
but we couldn't make it
yeah we did actually
we did get invited to that we did yep't make it. Yeah, we did actually. We did get invited to that.
We did, yep.
And I was so happy when I saw that invite.
That sounded legit, didn't it?
That sounded like we actually did.
Cut out that legit bit.
Let's pretend we did.
No, but I just thought it was really nice of her
because she knows that we're really busy and, like, it's not.
Yeah, it came one of those children invites
where you have to tear off the bottom and send it back.
I mean, it's not really up our street.
We don't like going to places
with too many people.
So that's why we couldn't
actually make it in the end.
But happy birthday, Vicky.
Vicky, Vicky.
And so I,
I'm so in awe of her
because
firstly,
whatever about age,
who cares about that?
I'm not going to say she's ageing well.
I hate all that shit.
But she looks fab.
She,
I just feel like
Victoria Beckham has
kind of won the lotto
like even financially
she's got a hot
deadly husband
she's got a load of
cool kids
do you know that she
so this is my
you know I've said it
before and I'll say it
again if I could be
anyone in the world
Victoria Beckham
nope Harper Beckham
she's got her whole
life ahead of her
she's got a deadly family
she
I don't even know
where they're sending her
to school
that woman
she'll never have a job
I wouldn't even teach her
the alphabet
she's never going to need it
she's the favourite
of the family definitely
she's absolutely
the favourite of the family
100% the favourite
yeah and do you know
that Victoria has
like a vault
you know the way
remember in the film
of Clues
remember in the film
Clueless
your one share
would go through
and the computer
would line up an outfit
and then it would all
get spat up
out of the wardrobe
like a storage unit
a vault of clothes
yeah
Victoria has one
so she'll put in
black shoes
and all the options
will come up
and she says
Harper is very
like really taken with it
I was like
I can say she is
oh my god
can you imagine
that was your mum
and I don't know
she know it as well though
I think
she came across
as really sound
in the
Netflix thing
but something came up
where like
it was like
you remember in like
Heat magazine and stuff
they'd be like
give this guy some
dating advice
or top of the pops magazine
and like
Emma Bunton's like
just remember that
you're such a great person
blah blah blah
and Victoria Beckham said
look in the mirror
maybe you're a bit of a
tosser
with bad dress sense
and you'd be better off
spending some money
on some new clothes.
She's sticking to her character.
Absolute spice bag.
Cash spice.
She is the spiciest
of the spice girls.
What spice would I be?
OCD spice?
What spice would you be?
Tidy spice.
You'd be like,
oh, I don't need all the money, girls.
You can take it yourself spice
fuck that
no I would not
well you can't be sporty
if sporty is taken
I never wanted to be sporty
you were always a spice girl
when you were younger
you'd be sleepy spice
I always
I know
you'd be well rested spice
Spenny just looked at my
my whirring
I look at my sleep every morning
and he goes
oh Jesus
you must be really happy
look at that level of sleep
for the week
and I was like
I have the
Victoria's party
so she gave out
goodie bags
of her own products
at the end of it
oh
no
I was like
imagine if we had a party
and we were handing out
like ghosted water bottles
well now the only thing is
her makeup is very expensive
it's very good
but like
I wouldn't mind
a goodie bag of that
she's coming out with a line up with mango it's out it's out is it out yeah I'm going to go and have a look at it The only thing is her makeup is very expensive. It's very good but like I wouldn't mind a goodie bag of that.
She's coming out with a line with mango.
It's out.
It's out.
Is it out?
Yeah I'm going to go in
and have a look at it.
It does look amazing.
Yeah it does.
It's a bit tailored for me now.
There's some see-through trousers
I thought would be
right up our street.
I'm serious.
I'm not even trying to be funny.
They're gorgeous.
How see-through now?
Like you'd have to wear
a black knicker underneath
but nice see-through.
I do feel like I have a sexy summer coming. I think we have to wear a black knicker underneath. But nice see-through. I do feel like I have
a sexy summer coming.
I think we have to have
a sexy summer.
I was thinking I could smell
the summer in the air.
Yeah.
Rat girl summer is approaching.
It's nearly happening.
I've suction bagged all the coats
and now I'm absolutely freezing
because it's not warm
outside anymore.
I've started my fitness journey
again.
I was going to
do it twice a week. Come running
with me. I don't want to but I will. Pop
on the running vest. I'll even let you wear that.
Well so I've started with this new
I've got a new trainer. Okay. I have a personal
trainer called Olivia who I've only
done one session with her but she comes to the common and
we do it in the common. It's great. It's like an outdoor PE
class. I love it. Yeah. So
we did all these
kind of like she just wanted to see
you know
my mobility or whatever
and I was doing all these
squats and exercises
and then she's like
you might be a bit sore
tomorrow
and I was like
yeah no I'm prepared
I'm prepared
I know the process
the next day I was
absolutely fine
and she texted going
how are you
I was like I'm
absolutely fine
she goes okay no worries
the next day
it was I swear
four and a half
five days
I was on six
Tylenol a day
fucking saltadines
you just pushed
yourself too far
I didn't push it
she did it to me
I was like Olivia
I'm clearly not capable
of this amount of movement
I was
paralysed
with the pain
in the legs
I did that to Amber
before and she
couldn't even walk
downstairs
her knees didn't bend
my knees were like this
and everything
yeah but that is the process
it's the process
it is the process
now you're ready for round two
because you do rip your muscles
yeah
when you start training
and then they
yeah
but I just
I think this is the one
I think this is the time
it's going to work
I think I'm
I think I'm going to have
a fit girl summer
okay well let's go running
together on Friday
tomorrow I think I'm I think I'm going to have a fit girl summer okay well let's go running together on Friday tomorrow
I think I've
no no no
let's do one lap at the park
one lap
I'm happy to do a lap at the park
no no walking
it's running
and you're not allowed
to wear headphones
if I'm going running
with someone
I want to talk to them
well I'm absolutely
not talking and running
put me in the pram
and push me
and then
I can chat from the pram and push me and then I can chat from the pram.
By the time this comes out, my work in progress in Edinburgh will be on sale.
Woo!
Mix a bit of old stuff and then some new stuff and, you know, probably me on the verge of a mental health crisis.
I'd go to that. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, I'll go to that.
Get that productivity going.
Did you see that Thing in the paper
About the flight from Turkey
Was it from Turkey
Or to Turkey
To Turkey
To Turkey
It's a four hour flight
To Turkey
In 25 minutes
They ran out of all the booze
I've never heard
The like of it
Now I don't know
Whose mistake that is.
Is it the airline's fault or was it just a particularly rowdy bunch?
I mean, firstly, fair play to the cabin crew for serving people that quickly.
I mean, I've been on flights where you'd nearly die of thirst by the time the trolley gets to you.
You know when you're in the middle and you're just like, keep looking, where's the trolley?
I know.
Because sometimes they might start in the middle and then spread back.
There's no system.
You never know.
Because one of my friends was like,
would you not just sit at the top of the plane
so you're ready for the trolley?
I said, no, no, no, no.
There was no exact system.
Sometimes they'll start at either end,
I guess to keep things fair.
Yeah.
You know in Ryanair now,
you can pre-order.
So when you come on,
they just straight away run down with your drinks.
Ryanair are amazing at trying to make you spend more money
well I thought you kind of
paused after amazing
no it's about
it's trying to get people
to just spend more money
they're like
how can we get quicker
I know
we'll get them to pre-order
drinks on the fly
I have to say
that's why I love them
because they'll still serve you
while they're actually
beginning their descent
yeah
even when you're deranged
they will though
they're like
you have to put your tray table up
you're like
you're pouring
you're still pouring my drink for me
like
I know why you have to put your tray table up
it's in case you have
a really heavy landing
and the table hits you in the face
or you hit your face into the table
yeah
I guess
I thought it was
if the plane crashes
you know what they said
to put your head in between your legs
that you couldn't brace
with the table there
yeah
well I guess so but I don't know why Irish put your head in between your legs that you couldn't brace with the table there yeah well I guess so
but I don't know
why Irish people
have a bad name
because we
like there's always
booze left in our plane
now in fairness
we do like to hit
a duty free
and take them on with us
I was only saying
this to someone
the other day
the Brits drink
just as much
as we drink
100%
do you know
the poor
no
I did
someone sent me
that Alan Carr video
that you did with Alan Carr
and I heard you say hundy peanut.
You said 100% hundy pea
and I thought this girl is a liar.
I did.
He's so fun.
I did his Life's a Beach podcast.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Yeah, I did that with him,
with Spenno.
I can't even remember what we said.
Where did you say you'd like to go?
Benidorm?
I was talking about Thailand.
I told the story about my hair getting bleached and that my
I was, we were laughing and we were talking about Lourdes
a lot actually. Have you been to Lourdes?
Yeah. Have you?
Why? I think my mother wanted to
cure me of something. I don't know. We went to Lourdes on
a holiday. It's like this cure of
being an attention seeking whore. Please
Jesus. Threw me into one of the caves.
Those caves that you come out and all the crutches are at the top
because everyone's walked out. Oh come on. And the wheelchairs are hanging off the roof and all because no one of the caves. Those caves that you come out and all the crutches are at the top because everyone's walked out.
Oh, come on.
And the wheelchairs are hanging off the roof and all
because no one needs them anymore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, whatever.
I just got,
I got vicious tonsillitis.
From?
It's full of sickness.
Were you kissing?
There's a rock or something you're kissing there.
That's why you got the disease.
I scored a leper
and then got vicious tonsillitis.
Gross. I took his
illness
like
what's that
film with your
man
sucks the
cancer out of
people
oh yeah
the green mile
the ninth
the green mile
the green mile
so I have a rule
that I never
drink on the plane
I never ever
drink on a plane
and like I buy
my own extra water
I know it sounds
really sad
but you get
really dehydrated
on a plane
so I buy my extra water
because I couldn't
imagine anything worse
than arriving in like
Stansted Airport
or something hung over
that's the worst
of the airports
by the way
Stansted's the worst
Stansted's the worst
oh my god
you don't drink on planes
now I know
and also
I think the thing
with planes is
it's not real time
because when you're
in the sky
where do you
you never stop eating you never you watch four hours of TV it's not real time. Because when you're in the sky, where do you,
you never stop eating.
You never,
you watch four hours of TV,
you fall asleep
like two or three times.
Sometimes I could fall asleep
on a long haul flight.
I am rolled down the gangway
off a plane.
I'm like a puffer fish.
I'm just,
I tell myself
it's the coming in and out
of the atmosphere.
But I believe it is
the 68 miniature meals
there's no rules
on a plane
there absolutely isn't
well there is
and if you break them
they will sell it
type your ticket
I'm really surprised
that hasn't happened to you yet
I'm waiting for the day
well I told you about
the flight coming back
from Canada
yeah
that's for a private time
fair play to the cabin crew
for serving so speedily
and also
from what I could tell when I read that article,
there was no, like, incidences.
I'd say everyone just fell asleep because there was no booze left.
So they drank so much that then they all fell asleep.
So it was probably a really quiet flight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's got to bang a hen party off it, doesn't it?
I think people more so going to Turkey,
they're going for new boobs and new hair and stuff.
I'll be over there soon for my new hair
I'll be coming back
with just those lumps
on my forehead
they'll just move
your eyebrows up
I don't get it
in no surprise to anyone
I put my airpods
on a mixed 40 degree
wash
found them in there
thought they were okay
but obviously now
they sound like
one of those seashell things
and
but I haven't given up
everyone's like
put them in rice
put them in rice
I don't actually
have rice in the house
so I'm going to go
and buy a bag of rice today
and put them in
and see what happens
you're meant to put them in rice
when it happens
I see these
no one said that
it's too late isn't it I see these no one said that it's too late
is it
I see these things
on your Instagram
and all I do is
that's it
and I slide on
you're like
top to exit
top to exit
I know but
I was like
maybe it'd be relaxing
listening to the ocean
through your headphones
but it's not
it's just really sad
but anyway
this girl messaged me because I was
giving out about it on the internet, obviously.
And she's like, oh about your
airpods, I woke up one morning after a dream
of eating a hard sweet with
actually my airpod in my mouth.
So I've now been listening to music and your podcast
through the ocean sounds for a year because
I'm too stingy to buy new ones until I've gotten
as much use out of these as I can. It's so
embarrassing, I still don't know how
it fell out of my ear
and got into my mouth
in my sleep
she's looking
choked to death
well you eat loads
of stuff in your sleep
remember all the spiders
and stuff
eight spiders a year
yeah but you know
no one's going to
choke on a spider
I really hope I don't eat eight spiders a year well a lot know no one's going to choke on a spider I like I really hope
I don't eat eight spiders
a year
well a lot of people
are salataping their
mouth's clothes now
while they sleep
to give them good
nasal hygiene
or something
I don't know
now that you're
on your fitness buzz
I found something
that you can
challenge yourself to
a woman has broken
the longest plank record
she's 58 years old
she won the record
she's a grandmother she's from Canada guess how long she planked for longest plank record. She's 58 years old. She won the record.
She's a grandmother.
She's from Canada.
Guess how long she planked for?
To win the record.
Okay, so I'm going to do
the fair thing
and go really low
so as not to ruin the surprise.
Okay.
Five minutes.
No, Joanne.
That was way too low.
Four and a half hours planking.
That just sounds so
insanely boring.
So boring.
That's the only way
you can slow down time.
Is she watching Netflix
right now?
Why is she doing it?
That's what I was thinking.
She would have gotten
through Oppenheimer.
But I was thinking
like there's nothing
you know when you're
doing a plank in real time
in the gym
and they're like
do a minute plank
and you're like
this is like a 50 minute plank
for one minute
I'm not familiar
but I will be now
that I'm on my fitness journey
and we will be
planking together
I have no core strength
like how I even walk around
is beyond me
you have a great
squat strength
good bum
I do actually
I do have a great ass
cannot deny me that
no we can't
we love your bum
when it's wrapped
bare it's not great but when it's wrapped
up well i find returned there when you're standing with your bum pushed out and you're back and
you're standing straight on with the perfect light your bum can look great i'm currently on an ass
journey beep beep it's coming back i'm building the bum i'm on a proper journey like i'm gonna
take a picture of my arse now and take a picture of my arse in six weeks and I'll show you oh really
yeah I'm going to post it
straight to my Instagram
I think you absolutely should

for the podcast this week
