This is a Global Player Original Podcast.
Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Joanne McNally and her Vogue Williams.
Vogue Williams.
I just called Vogue Noel by accident.
I'm trying to understand why I did that and I can't really explain it.
I look like a Noel.
It's not the first time that's happened.
I'll use it again.
Rest assured.
It was because I was trying to download
a couple of stories in my head to tell you
and I got overexcited.
I just went, Noel!
Joanne, you look like a marade.
Fuck off.
It's not.
You don't look like a Noel.
But Noel is the opposite to Vogue.
There's no pizzazz to the name Noel.
It really is a pizzazz free zone.
Speaking of pizzazz,
do you want to see what I did with my ears?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I feel so...
Bougie.
How amazing. I had Roxanneanne first over at my house and
she did my earrings she did like and this ear is i'm just thrilled i really feel like i'm never
gonna have my nails done but now i'll always have like people will be like there's the girl with the
cool earrings and shit nails hold on a second i'm so basically you got your ears pierced no my ears
have been pierced but they've always had like boring earrings in and then I got Roxanne first she's a jewelry designer
and she designs really cool fun stuff like look at this you're gonna love this that's a smiley face
necklace that's that's cool I know she does it in all different colors you know the way Becky has
cool earrings now I have cool earrings Becky's a friend of mine and now I have cool earrings because I feel like my nails are so shit all the time that I need to have something I do find you
I do find you quite boring to look at so personally I'm relieved that you've added a bit of pizzazz to
your ears I've jazzed myself up thank you very much jazzed me and Jess sometimes sometimes be
nod off looking at you don't we Jane so boring fair enough everyone's saying would she not would
that woman not do something with her ears my god
they are a snooze fest
I've never seen
such a plain Jane
in my life
I do look like
an oil slick
you're right
I don't know
what to do about it
because I know
if I run away
to get powder
I'll get in trouble
with you two
so I just have to
Joe fix my
fix it post
you don't look like
an oil slick
I was suggesting
I said Vogue
looked very polished
today suggesting
I usually had a
regular Botox
at the weekend
but she's
she's saying she hasn't
I'm moving my eyebrows
I have not had Botox
I swear to God
on my life
I did not have Botox
at the weekend
they're barely moving
no
I've got a very tight
bun in my hair
I haven't had
a pinch of Botox
this
should I drop dead and die now you joe joe getting involved
in this slagging shut up you joe because i've just looked at what my forehead does if i do the same
thing well joe you've got a very movable forehead sorry my forehead isn't as wrinkled as yours
christ almighty i was gonna say it's like bella haddi claiming that her face is the result
of a tight bun okay comes out with a new head how dare you my eyebrows are raised you look fab
so thank you oh wait hang on you're not off the booze anymore what happened there
one minute later after telling joe and i you were like saint joanne i know i just kind of fell back
in with us proud of peter to Belfast and he's
he's as big a piss head as I am
you fell in with an absolute
wallop
back into it
he was like
oh we go for lunch
and I was like
yeah we go for lunch
then I'd like to go for a run
and he was like
and he's
he's a fucking snake
because he makes out
like he's up with that plan
anyway of course
and he's like
we have a glass
and blah blah blah
anyway it spiraled
but listen
come here
the world is the world is
the world is right again
I know
do you know what
I'm doing
I'm currently doing
Sober October
is this going to be
every week now
oh sorry
have I mentioned it
sorry sorry
it's just I'm so smug
and I don't feel like
shite bags
so yeah I'm doing
Sober October
didn't have a drop
all weekend
yep I got lots of
bits done
I was out for
I was training
at seven this morning
and you know, just do my bits.
Okay, thanks for losing us more listeners.
I am going to drink though.
I would like to say that I started it late
and I'm finishing it early
because I'm going away on my holidays
and I'm not, listen, I'm not a complete saint.
That's not sober October. That's sporadic a complete saint. That's not sober October.
That's sporadic sobriety.
That's not a month.
You're doing two weeks in the middle of October.
Yeah, I'm doing sober middle of October.
That's what I'm doing.
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?
I think it sounds better.
Sober middle of October.
Barely sober October.
I drink barely sober October.
I just don't drink on Mondays.
It's great.
I've been new
loads to life
well as we were
talking about last week
you and I just really
went with the summer
and like just lost
the run of ourselves
being someone who
like used to be like
I drink every few weeks
I was drinking like
every few days
and I thought this is
I need to pull it back
so I'm resetting
to get back into it
I miss it
I was in the SSC arena in Belfast basically I'm on stage that's a
I did was the Friday night so the second night and it's about I think it's 3,000 3,000 people
so you know it's a big room yeah and I'm about an hour into the show you should do about an hour 20
which is unfair because the last 10 minutes is kind of like a hostage situation you can tell
they want to leave you told me it was
40 minutes by the way
when I went to your last show
obviously just trying to
get me the fuck out early
I'd say at the start
of the tour it was 60
but the show's kind of
grown a bit
you know what I mean
so
anyway
so about an hour in
and this girl comes
like
kind of jogging up
the middle aisle
of the room and she stops the show and kind of ushers me down inside a stage.
And she's obviously taking a drink.
The eyes are quite glazed, you know, Krispy Kreme, Krispy Kreme glazed eyes.
And she's like, Joanne, you've got your period.
And she like points to my crotch
no
no
yeah
what colour were you wearing
so
I have a new set
I got rid of the
barocca tube
because it was
it was rotting away up there
it was the time I had to go
so I have these new
pig pink
Prosecco bottles
so because I had them
I was like
I'm not going to wear
a pink jumpsuit
because it's just going to look too like bubble gummy do you know what I mean look like a Barbie set so I have these new pig pink Prosecco bottles so because I had them I was like I'm not gonna wear a pink jumpsuit because it's just gonna look too like a bubble gummy do you know
what I mean look like a barbie set so I wore a mint green jumpsuit so of course so so basically
I do you remember recently I spoke at the podcast saying my work my worst fear would be to get my
period on stage so I was like I'm sure someone would tell me so I looked down now obviously
to make really quick decisions up there okay Okay. Like you don't have time
to like mull over things. You don't have time to like lie on your back and have a good look at
your crotch. You don't have time to like pull your legs apart and see what's going on. So I just
scanned down real quick. I couldn't see anything. And I genuinely, I couldn't process what was
happening. I thought she was heckling me. I thought she was kind of trying to psych me out.
Do you know what I mean? So I didn't know what was it so basically I just
I looked down
couldn't see anything
and so I dismissed her
I think I said something like
you should be ashamed of yourself
or something
oh god
yeah
I said
oh no do you know what I said
I sent her away
and I said I won't embarrass you
by saying what you just said to me
because I genuinely thought
she was trying to
like
I thought it was a really bizarre heckle
yeah
and em
because I couldn't see anything myself
anyway sent her off but the gig was fucked then like my head was completely Like I thought it was a really bizarre heckle. Yeah. And because I couldn't see anything myself.
Anyway, sent her off, but the gig was fucked then.
Like my head was completely out of the game.
The room got really weird and there was like a weird tension in the room.
And I kind of did 10 more minutes and I just could not get off fast enough.
And then I looked down when I got off and I had, I had gotten it.
So I know.
Was it bad?
Was it bad?
No.
I mean, the way like
look
could you have gotten away with it
she came from a good place
I understand that
do you know what I mean
she was trying to be sound
and she thought
could you have gotten away with it
totally
it was
there was no need to do it
but she was pissed
and she thought she was being sound
but no
it just completely fucked in my head
and
you know what girls
in future
just let me bleed out up there
like honestly
oh my god
let her bleed out
let me bleed out up there
I don't need to know
because then I was thinking
oh well okay
because the room's so big
that I was like
no one would have seen it
but then I remember
there's screens on either side
of the stage
so I don't know
I don't know if anyone did it
but like there's nothing
I could do
what can I do what can I do range but like there's nothing I could do what can I do
what can I do
with that information
there's nothing I can do
just let her be
let her just
let her be a bloody mess
oh no your poor jumpsuit
it's hard to get that out
it's hard to get a stand
like that out
it was just a real downer
it's like oh no
oh my
at least you didn't shit yourself
that's a plus
it would be worse
obviously I'm gonna ask
you oh my god no in front of 3 000 people and someone i know listen it's it's modern life i'm
a modern woman back in the day have you ever heard of a menstruation hush no okay so back in the day
well i think there's probably some some self so uh some still floating around some part of the
world but menstruation it was considered so gross that women would be sent out to a hush right to like just menstruate on their own out there and they
die of like dehydration and exposure and snake bites and stuff because it was basically sounds
like sounds a bit like oxygen do you remember that festival that we all went a bit fire festival
and just kind of bleed to death on your own and then if anyone came into contact with you they'd
be sent into the hush as well thank god it wasn't back in the day there'd be three thousand of us
stuck in a menstruation hut for forever because everyone would keep getting a period at some
stage would be stuck there forever anyway yeah it was it was embarrassing but not in a like not in a
menstruation way embarrassing it was just I was just I took the shine off what I what I what I wanted to be a good show
oh no I just yeah maybe she shouldn't have said anything um I actually I haven't had my period in
like two years you know that it's really weird well it's not weird and breastfeeding like I'm
not like and I was pregnant but like weird that I haven't had it in two years it's fantastic
that's because you're always pregnant that's I was actually thinking that's one reason to get
knocked up I'd have nine months of peace on stage without having to worry about that stuff
it's so nice but you don't get embarrassed by things like that like that would be I would find
that like humiliating like I don't know why it's just things like that really make me feel embarrassed
but you have to you become desensitized to stuff like there was a time when when that happened if
this was earlier on in my career when that happened I would have died of death I would have been so embarrassed but you're
like I'm on stage pretty much all the time shit's gonna happen up there you just become desensitized
to it but like I say it just because I didn't know how bad it was or what the crack was I was
completely thrown then I was like oh my god bring me to a menstruation hook get me out of here
listen one thing I wanted to know what did you say to her?
Because you did a call out for her.
So I thought you must have given someone a bollocking.
She actually only messaged me yesterday.
So I'll just message her back.
And look, I know you were trying to be sane.
So thank you.
I regretted being kind of dismissive of her, but I just didn't know what to do.
Do you know what I was reading?
Apparently back in the day, they used to think that when women had their periods,
they were kind of magic and psychic and stuff.
And there was this myth that if you put a naked woman menstruating through a field, all the caterpillars and worms would fall out of the corn.
I was like, that's what I need on the walk up to the stage from now on, just loads of corn.
So that I can tell if there's worms and caterpillars falling out.
But then, you know, I need to address it.
Stick a lot of pads in.
Oh God, no.
Listen, it's still part of being a woman. So were you just shuffling along like a penguin, just trying to address it. Stick a lot of pods in. Oh God, no. Listen, this is all part of being a woman.
So were you just shuffling along like a penguin,
just trying to keep your legs closed?
I just didn't know what was going on.
It was horrible.
Sorry, this is a bit gross,
but the after sex shuffle.
I've gone red after I said that, by the way.
after I said that by the way
it's very strange
that you know things
like that
you're off to your
menstruation hut
by the way
I wanted to thank everybody
who very kindly
bought our tickets
yes
very nice of you
to buy our tickets
thank you very much
we're very appreciative
and we can't wait.
I can't wait, Joanne.
Like, you're used to it.
You do it all the time.
But like,
I only had that amazing feeling at EP
and I haven't had it again since
because you have been having it
all the time,
like 3,000 people involved us
and then I'm going to get to do it
and it's so exciting.
It is.
It is very exciting.
I feel sick. I'm so excited.
It is.
And we're going to add more UK dates.
Poor, poor Sp Sven he was like
do you
who's introducing
you on stage
do you need
do you need
somebody to
introduce you
on stage
I was like
yeah we're
kind of covered
Sven
thank you
was he
was he
suggesting he
would do it
he absolutely
loved being
around for a
show in
Electric Picnic
because like he
said that like
he's never felt
so famous in his
life
do you know
I was doing a
live with him
last night so actually yes you were because I accidentally clicked into it like
those lives they are like quagmires they're traps because you're flicking to your phone
and they're so easy to click into and then you're like why am I watching a live with Spencer and
I get I've enough of them do you know what I mean and then you feel really bad because you have to
exit well I find funny imagine what I was like
I was like
why am I on a live
with Spencer
I only saw it that morning
and I'm like
Spenny are we doing a live
at five o'clock
when the kids are eating dinner
and he's like
oh that's Jenny's fault
and I was like
alright so am I doing a live
at seven o'clock
then when were you going to tell me
I was doing the live
was it
it was for the
it was for a clean cow
was it
you were making gin
that's all I saw
he was like
no he was making my two least he was like No he was making
my two least favourite
cocktails ever
like he was making
me a Bloody Mary
rank
like I'd never
drink that
and he was making me
an espresso martini
I couldn't even
like swallow
and pretend to like it
particularly the Bloody Mary
tomato juice is sick
it's like cold soup
I love a Bloody Mary
now a good one
I love it
because I have to find ways
to drink in the morning
though come on
get the program
after
after when we were
in the Maldives last year
she was literally starting
espresso martinis
at half ten in the morning
she's like it's a coffee
I was like it's not a coffee
no I can't
I actually can't bear
the taste of espresso martinis
I hate them
oh they're hideous
but the Bloody Marys
when done correctly
are fantastic they're a real like they're just they're real they're hideous but the Bloody Marys when done correctly are fantastic
they're a real like
they're just
they're a real
they're an amazing
zingy
hit
hit to the cell
but when they're bad
it's basically like
someone pouring vodka
into a pot of Dalmio
and just pouring
giving it to you in a glass
I've had some really
I've had some really bad ones
but when they're good
they are exceptional
they'll take you from a
they'll take you from a two to'll take from a two to a 10
in your mind in the morning.
A two to a 10 in the morning?
Two to a 10 in the morning.
Well, now if you're topping up
in the morning,
like,
I know it's a problem.
You quite quickly top up though.
It doesn't take long.
Oh, not,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally.
You know that morning,
that morning,
that morning giddiness.
It's the best when you've had
a big night the night before
and then in the morning you've got like a breakfast plan with the girls or something.
You're like, you've absolutely, you can get back on it straight away.
So exciting.
Oh God, I can't.
Like the thought of having a drink when I'm hungover, it's like eating a flip-flop to me.
I just need, I need seven different like fizzy drinks and I need cool pops and a slush puppy.
And like, I just have to have nice things like that.
I, we, so yesterday I slept until, I just have to have nice things like that. I,
we,
so yesterday I slept until,
I slept until half three in the day. Like,
I can't believe you're actually going to publicly say that.
Are you sleep shaming me?
Don't tell anybody.
Like my day was nearly over at half three.
Slept at half three. So I've had had a busy I've had a very busy week and then I was out for a couple of drinks on Saturday day and then our friends
40 oh the 40th have begun the 40th 40th all the 40th are happening now so I came home from the
party and then slept to half three and then proud of it like was it she's shaking me To wake me I was like He's like Joanne
It's half three
Like get up
You fucking pig
You are so lucky
That you're
Like when I'm hungover
Especially
I could get two and a half
Hours sleep
And my body's like
Get up at seven o'clock
And I'm like
Do you know what the key
Do you know what the key is
And I know we talk about booze
A lot right
But
You wake up in the morning
I used to do that as well
Because you're dehydrated
So your body wakes up
Because you need water
so if you drink water
before you go to sleep
throw in a rehydration
soluble tablet
you know the Baracca's
but they're actually
she's all the tip
the ORS
rehydration
sachets or whatever
do your life basically
you will sleep
you'll be like
Jesus
coming out of the cave
40 days later
you will sleep away
a couple of periodons
a bit of that
yeah I think I'll need that
my next time on the piss
I'll be in St. Barts
can you believe
I'm going to St. Barts
I can't wait
we're not going to Christmas anymore
it's too bloody expensive
at Christmas
to be honest with you
so we're going at
like normal time of year
Amber's coming
she's never been
she's going to lose her mind
oh god
yeah
because well Svenny doesn't drink
and like no offence to him
he's a bit boring sometimes
so like I need someone
and Amber drinks.
Amber's like you.
She drinks.
Excuse me.
When?
I'm probably free.
You're not free.
I don't even ask you
to do anything anymore.
I did actually.
She's coming to the christening.
I booked
I have to talk to
Father Peter today.
I'm going to
Otto's christening.
I'll join the queue.
It's going to be
20 women deep outside
for the Godmothers to get in
we're like the queen
do you remember
everyone was queuing for the queen
for like 40 hours
that would be us
40 hours to get in
to fucking
to christen Otto
with all the other godparents
like you wouldn't jump the queue
Philip
I'm filming guys
I'm filming
okay so that's exciting I'm filming guys I'm filming okay
so that's exciting
I'm gonna
I'm booking the priest
oh my god
I heard gossip right
and this wasn't even
on my list yesterday
but I was very shocked
because
I really like Shakira
I think it's because
her husband was such
a dirty little dog
she
might be going
to jail
jail what I thought you were going to say St. Barts no she's not going to jail. Jail.
What?
I thought you were going to say St. Bart's.
No, she's not going to St. Bart's.
Not anymore.
She might be going to jail.
She owes like 30 million in tax.
You know, there's people who just write random shit off.
It's like, oh, I'm buying a Chanel handbag.
I'll just put that on the tax bill.
Like some things you're not allowed to get taxed off for.
And she's like done a number on herself
and she owes the Spanish government something like 30 million.
I'm pulling numbers out of my arse,
but it's something like that.
Do you know what I'd be thinking?
If I owe someone 30 million in tax,
she must be absolutely loaded.
Well, but like what if,
what if in the Chanel handbag,
she put her microphone that she sings with?
And what if, you know, that is that?
Well, that's just an example.
I think she was writing things off that she wasn't allowed right off
and then she got stung for it.
So listen, listen to your accountant.
You don't want to be going to jail.
Jail for something so crap as well.
Stung for tax.
Imagine.
Yeah.
Well, when you're in St. Bart's, it's the end of the tax year in Ireland,
so I'll probably be doing mine from a prison cell in the Jail.
While you're... Like Joanne does probably be doing mine from a prison cell in the Jailhouse while you're
like Joanne does her own tax
you're a accountant
I didn't see him
with her accountant
and he's just like
Joanne's like
I don't know
and he's literally like
I'm like that poor man
that poor man
I know
he had a full head of hair
when I hired him at the start
completely bald now
full head of hair
tell us about Hamleys
oh
so I went to Hamleys
because I get invited
to these little kiddie events
and I usually wouldn't go
because you know
what I feel like
about going to do anything
outside of my house
I'm not really into it
but I got invited to Hamleys
and it was something
for the kids to do
and I was like
they will absolutely love that
it was closed to the public we got to go into Hamleys and then they asked if I wanted if I wanted to
ring the bell to open the shop because like hundreds of people went outside 12 o'clock you
ring the bell they come in so anyway my moment to shine was coming up and then those little shites
that I brought with me Tee and Gigi just took took the bell. I didn't get to ring the bell.
They rang the bell. You want to see Gigi as well in the video trying to rob it off T.
So what happens when you ring the bell then? All the children kind of descend.
Then everyone can go in. Yeah.
It's like the stock market. Jesus, how many have fierce notions about themselves, don't they?
Oh my God. How many? It's like, it's, it's, it's pretty epic to be fair. Like I got stung
for loads of stuff
in there when I was with them
because you can't really
go to a toy shop
and not buy them anything.
Is Hamley's the place
that they have the actors
dressed up as characters
dancing outside?
That's terrifying.
I've walked past that
several times.
Not good.
Like there was a pirate there,
Gigi was terrified.
We went to the event though
and the lovely girl
who was running the event
came up,
she's like,
hi Gigi, and Gigi's like, I want to go home. Straight away girl who was running the event came up she's like hi Gigi
and Gigi's like
I want to go home
straight away
that was the first thing
she said to her
I'm like
oh my god
that's embarrassing
so where is she
learning her English
I was thinking
when you were telling me
about the toy store
I was thinking about
what I had grown up
because you forget
and then I was googling
90s toys
and it was
jeez it brought me right back
well actually
my favourite thing to do
as a kid was wear high heels
and smoke by-roads
so I guess I was mimicking
my mother at the time
but
I had a Fisher-Price kitchen
oh I loved the kitchen
little fried eggs and stuff
and then my favourite
it wasn't actually mine
it belonged to a friend of mine
but I used to go down and play it
was it like a cashier
a till
beep you'd scan the thing this was we were a bit older you'd actually scan like all to a friend of mine but I used to go down and play it with like a cashier a till beep
you'd scan the thing
this was
we were a bit older
you'd actually scan
like all
it was so weird
as a child
you just wanted to
work the Tesco tills
that was the glamorous job
that's what you wanted
all I ever wanted
was dolls
and then I started
getting things like
ironing boards
and like
washing machines
and like pretend
little plastic ones
that's all I wanted
I know it's bizarre
I used to just look at
this is what I know yeah you'd I used to just look at I know
yeah
you'd have servants
to do all that for you
that you don't need
an ironing board
as if
as if babes
it's kind of
I don't iron
it's particularly
it's particularly
I don't
well I don't iron either
and I've known to do it for me
I just go around
like fucking
scrouting
my clothes
just completely wrinkled
I can't bear wrinkled clothes
I have to say
but now what I will say is
I actually went to Hamleys
as a child
I'll never forget it
because my
my mum and Neil
took us away
and we were like
spoiled rotten
and then we went to Hamleys
and I'd already like
got my quota of stuff
but I didn't realise
Hamleys was coming up
and I went into Hamleys
and I was trying to
pick up more stuff
and I threw an
absolute wobbler when they wouldn't get me more stuff I could just remember that's what I went into Hamleys and I was trying to pick up more stuff and I threw an absolute wobbler
when they wouldn't get me more stuff.
I could just remember,
that's what I remember about Hamleys,
throwing an absolute wobbler
and then being like,
you're not getting anything else.
I'd say that place has seen more tantrums
than hot dinners,
like kids throwing.
A hundred percent.
And do you remember the giant yellow teapot?
Yeah!
Yes!
Oh my God, yeah.
What happened inside it though?
I can't really remember.
I actually Googled that the other day,
weirdly enough,
and it's actually kind of crap,
to be honest.
Do you not think it's got all the toys?
They're just basically preparing women
for being a wife,
being a housewife.
Like why don't you just fucking
sell little handcuffs
and ties to a radiator?
Jesus Christ.
I will say,
Theodore's quite a fan of his mop.
He's a mop and he likes the mop.
So he'll be a nice little,
a nice little household.
He has lightsabers now though.
And he has fights with Frederick and T,
or not Frederick.
What's his name?
Spencer.
Did you just forget your husband's name?
I call them all different names all the time.
I call Gigi Winston today.
Aldo, Aldo Aldo
she does look like Winston
Aldo and
and Sven
and like they turn off the lights
and they put on this
Darth Vader music
can they
they just play
like the
what do they call those things
lightsabers
giant children
when you're one time
you have my period on stage
like what am I supposed to do
with that information?
Leave the stage
and go back in five days.
There was a couple of toys
that had to be recalled
because they were dodgy.
Do you remember the Tidy
you know I've got a model session
with the Tidy Tubby's
Yeah.
Poe.
When Poe came out as a toy,
he would say things
and parents thought that he,
so they basically made
all these complaints.
It sounds like he was saying,
well, they're calling it
a homophobic slur,
but he was saying fidget,
F-I-D-I-T,
over and over again.
And they also thought
he was saying bite my butt,
bite my butt.
Anyway, they had to recall him
in the end, but there was a Ken doll that came out as well and they he had this um necklace on
that looked incredibly like a cock ring um again parents were complaining and and the company were
like do you actually think we're gonna put ken out wearing a cock ring like do you think we're
gonna do that but you know like some parents are you know incredibly paranoid they think they're they're basically probably the parents who were involved in q anon do you think we're going to do that but you know some parents are you know incredibly paranoid
they think they're
basically probably
the parents who were
involved in QAnon
do you know what I mean
oh my god
anyway he had to be recalled
he was cancelled
and recalled
yeah
and there was another toy
where
and I don't know
how you feel about this
you probably wouldn't mind
I don't think it's a big deal either
where they would sell
a breast pumping package
breastfeeding dolls
to kids
so little girls they'd get a little bra package breastfeeding dolls to kids so little girls
they'd get a little bra
with a little nipple on it
and a doll
and they could breastfeed
the doll
well Gigi
Gigi goes over
to my pump
and she puts it on herself
sometimes
and it's the funniest thing
because she just sees me
do it obviously
do you remember
as well I just got these
for the kids
remember a grown tube
when they went
do you remember them no no the kids remember a grown tube when they went do you remember them
no
no
he never had a grown tube
he just turned it
upside down
he turned it the other way
I loved them
no
what sort of poverty
induced childhood
was I living in
I never had a grown tube
oh my god
I used to like
oh god I had so much crap
the toy that I loved
the most
well I brain broke bright
and all that jazz
but do you remember
the snowman
and you'd make
slushies in his belly
oh Mr Frosty
yes
I just
I can't see how to
all the kids in the eight
we just had blue tongues
red tongues
I still
I can't
if I could pass somewhere
that's selling slushies
I have to get one
I get half red
half blue
absolutely stunning I want to do one I get half red half blue absolutely stunning
I want to do a shout out right
because basically
I want everybody
to vote
for this person
on Strictly Come Dancing
oh yes
I want everyone to vote
for Helen Skelton
I feel
so bad for her her husband basically broke up with her when she
had a baby. The baby was two months old. She's got two other young children. Fair enough if people
fall out of love. I totally get that. That's totally fine. But your wife has just had a baby
two months prior. And within six months, he's met this other woman who's the daughter of the
managing director of the rugby club that he's a part of and now the baby is I think the baby's like eight months old and he has
this other one pregnant I'm just like like your kids are at home and they don't even know that
you're like why you're not there or anything yet you're all like it's just it he's gross it's wildly insensitive so cruel
it's
it's
it's brutal
it's absolutely brutal
and obviously
and I mean
I don't know
who this lad is
but
clearly this was going on
like
no one moves on
that quickly
do you know what I mean
so it's like
would you not have a bit
would you not be a bit more
discreet about it
you clearly had an affair
grand shit happens
people have affairs but like where's your kind of where's your where's your sense of duty Would you not have a bit, would you not be a bit more discreet about it? You clearly had an affair. Grand shit happens.
People have affairs,
but like,
where's your kind of,
where's your,
where's your sense of duty,
sense of care?
No.
To your children.
She's knocked up already.
I know,
but like,
it's just zero moral compass,
very Tristan Thompson vibes,
obviously,
but the other woman,
like,
you know that he has a wife that's pregnant.
And like, what,
like, we can't say that for a fact that he was
cheating before,
but it's very like,
I don't know.
Well, of course,
we can't say for a fact.
Well, we don't deal
in facts anyway, Val.
We don't deal in facts.
We know the truth.
You little dirt.
We don't deal in facts.
We deal with speculation.
That's what we do.
But I would speculate heavily
that that like,
no one,
you don't rush that fast
into a new relationship and have a child. A child's going to fuck your relationship up. Sorry speculate heavily that that like, no one, you don't rush that fast into a new relationship
and have a child.
A child's going to fuck
your relationship up.
Sorry about that.
But like, you know,
I speculate that
that's what happens.
So why would you put
that on yourself
if you're actually
only together two weeks?
They're not.
They clearly had
a very long term.
And that poor woman
was pregnant the whole time
and like feeling like
absolutely shit about herself.
And then two months
after you have a baby
when you literally feel like death
and you're just like wrecked and you just are not yourself your hormones
are all over the place and he just didn't just no regard for her or his kids or his family some
people are just so insensitive it's crazy i feel like strictly come what strictly come dancing
is kind of like therapy for celebrities as in
a lot of them
they go into it
because they've like
been through something
traumatic
that year
like Helen Skelton
probably
was booked to do that show
because she had a very public
yeah
fallout with her
partner
or husband or whatever
do you know what I mean
so suddenly she was kind of
in the public's eyes
and then they
you know so that's so people go like normal people would just go to a zumba class in
the evening celebrities sign up to strictly come dancing so it becomes very emotional it's like an
evening course for them it's part of their you know it is well because you've nothing else to
concentrate on they're dancing like up to 12 hours a day exactly would you do it I did it I did dancing
with the stars in Australia I am and I thought I was brilliant
right
I got kicked out
like fourth or fifth
so not the worst
at least I wasn't first
and I went and looked back
at YouTube
of me dancing
and I just looked like
a little serpent
the way I dance along
with my head
like goes forward
like I don't know
it's because I'm so
hold on
hold on
we have to get footage
of that for the tour now
come on
well my dance partner
the poor
he's so nice as well
I still follow him
on Instagram
he there's no chance
in hell
he was ever going to
be able to lift me up
so he just used to
swing me around
like you know
when he used to get a swing
off your family
off your dad or something
he'd just swing you
by the arms
that's literally all
he could do
because like I was
such a giant
was he tiny compared to me yeah he was like half my size actually like width wise
as well but uh I did it you had to dance like eight hours a day I was shitting myself every time and I
was like I don't know why I did it to myself because I was such a nervous wreck before that
it was like detrimental to my health but it was actually quite fun what's next
i was actually going to update you on sylvester stallone you know him and the wife got back
together yes we knew that we were very happy about it well joanne supposedly they did it all
for publicity because they have a tv show coming out like the kardashians so they've got keeping
up with the sylvesterester Stallones and two daughters,
wife,
dog,
they're going to be on a reality show.
They snaked us.
Why would Sylvester Stallone
bother his hell
doing a reality telly?
Why would you bother?
Has he run out of cash?
That must be it.
He must have run out of cash.
He's obviously made bad investments,
like his face.
I can't imagine he's run out of cash.
Well, do you know what?
Maybe back in the day, back in the day, he wouldn't have gotten paid.
Like Daniel Craig gets paid a hundred a million a movie.
He wouldn't have been paid that.
I mean, obviously I'm going to be glued to it.
Oh, I'm watching every second of it.
But like we are, just so you know, we're disappointed in you and your lies and bullshit.
We're disappointed in you, Sylvester, but we need to know times and channels.
Yeah, watch channels.
Don't just do it for America.
So I was considering
a breakup with Spenny for a bit.
If things ever went down the tube,
breakup,
get back together.
Breakup,
get back together.
Yeah,
that's our plan.
Yeah.
I need to get a tattoo
of your face on my body
so I have something to cover up
as a PR stunt.
Oh,
Bill Murray?
Yes,
Bill Murray.
Bill Murray.
Bill Murray is a man, right,
that I would have always said,
who would you have at your dinner party,
dead or alive?
Bill Murray was always,
always, always on my list.
Yeah.
I know, he's,
everyone loves Bill.
Like he's,
everyone,
but you always,
I always wondered about Bill.
Now look, don't get me wrong,
it's not like I put a huge amount
of thought into it,
but it did cross my mind,
I suppose,
is a better way of explaining it
How has Bill Murray escaped
all this cancel culture?
Do you know what I mean? Like, because he's obviously
all people in show business
are assholes, no one goes into show
business, no one, it doesn't make anyone a better
person, no one's like, oh I was a bit of a narcissist
before I got into show business, but
I've become a much kinder, thoughtful person
If you're telling people they're special the whole time they're gonna believe it they're gonna be
assholes I you know I know because I was surprised by him just because like he's always known for
like turning up at people's weddings and just being really sound in general and then and then
all this stuff comes out so supposedly he paid someone off 100 grand after he kissed and straddled
her on set and the movie actually got cancelled because of it, he was working on being
mortal when he has said
to have interacted with the unidentified woman
so that was like, that's
after all that Me Too
shit and he comes out with that, but like
I found it quite interesting about
like, so Rob Schneider
when they all did that SNL
he supposedly
Bill Murray absolutely despised
adam sandler i could see why i know no i don't have any personal beef with adam sandler but
comedians comedians are very snobby they get some they look down on each other they're very
judgmental with each other so i'd say adam Sandler represents something that Bill never had or you know I've always said it hate is a mirror hate's a mirror you're just
reflecting back the person you hate has something you want or is doing something you want to do so
obviously Adam triggers Bill in some way but the funniest bit was when I say funny I mean I mean in
the traditional sense when he put Seth Green in the bin did you hear about this I didn't know oh my god as a nine year old
so Seth Green
child
child star
again
they don't have the best
reputation in the world
on set
I think it was SNL
and he was sitting
on Bill's seat
he was sitting on
what Bill
thought to be his seat
well it was a giant couch
and he was sitting
on the arm of the couch
so
he wasn't taking
the whole seat
Bill was like get off that's my seat even apparently Seth's mother was like Seth get off that's Bill's seat couch and he was sitting on the arm of the couch so he wasn't taking the whole seat bill's like
get off that's my seat even apparently seth's mother was like seth get off that's bill's seat
and seth was like no i'm not going anywhere now play to him as a nine-year-old no that but that
in itself would suggest what what kind of a nine-year-old you are like come on you get off
bill's seat anyway look i'm not justifying it but Bill picked her up
by the ankles
and threw her in a bin
now
it was the 80s
there was
kids were getting
thrown in the bin
at all times in the 80s
I spent most of my
childhood in a bin
and I'm grand
sometimes I want to
throw tea in the bin
there I said it
exactly
you put a lid on that thing
it's like an isolation tank
get a lot of thoughts
get a lot of thinking
done in there
it's just tea was asking
where his nanny Jane was the other day and i was like put her in the bin
and he's looking at the bin i was like and he's like no you didn't i was like put her in the bin
no you didn't and then he went over and looked in the bin she wasn't in the bin i didn't throw
her in the bin what an idiot it was the 80s children were in a bin or the boot of a car
that's where that's where children were that's where children were supposed to be
do you remember driving along in the car right and now you have to like be all buckled up
and kids are all
in their car seats
I'd be lying across
the back window
just chilling
on my game boy
and like you'd have
about 19 kids
in the back of the car
exactly
it was carnage
I don't know
I think hang out in a bin
elevate out
I hope Seth did a lot
of thinking in that bin
I suppose he got out
of the bin
and went to the dressing room
and just cried, he said.
Yeah, and it's not the worst thing
to happen to a child star
from what I'm reading in the 80s.
There was a lot of other shit going on,
Seth, so, you know what I mean?
At least he chucked you in the bin.
I'm actually surprised by that,
but like, do you know what?
If it was just the Seth Green thing
chucking him in the bin,
I could, I could,
he's, all I'm saying is
he's off my dinner party list. My problem is he put Seth in the bin head first. How do youing him in the bin I could he's all I'm saying is he's off my dinner party list
my problem is
he put Seth in the bin
head first
how do you put him in
feet first
we wouldn't even be
having this conversation
but it was the fact
that he put him in
head first
it's a bit dangerous
it's a bit
yeah there's something
it's not
but he was obviously
trying to teach Seth
the lesson
and the lesson
I think it has been learned
we've wiped out something like And the lesson, I think it has been learned.
We've wiped out something like 70% of the animal population, by the way.
That's really depressing, isn't it?
So you should be ashamed of yourself, Joanne.
What?
Yes, 70% of the animal population have been wiped out by humans.
Hang your head in shame. I think the skeezy I think the skeezy part is what makes it
kind of like unforgivable but I'm hope I don't know well if he paid her off 100 grand I don't
know I just surprised he's a skeezball I'm absolutely not surprised at all are you not
no not at all no I'm not I'm not. They're all like, show me a famous male actor
in his 70s
who hasn't misbehaved
and show me a eunuch.
What the hell is a eunuch?
A man with no genitals.
Oh, I'll show you one of them.
I don't mean actually show,
it was more like a rhetorical thing.
There's a boy band called Eunuch.
Well, that's really weird. I never heard that word that so eunuch so they used to castrate boys back in the day if they were in a choir so they could sing soprano so because
it because you're so your balls drop your voice drops so to stop their balls dropping they'd
castrate them oh my god they'd cut their whole dick off if it means they can hit those high notes
okay no game i don't want to hear
a fucking man
in his 80s
singing we're walking
in the air
like hitting all the
soprano
if you do hear those
and he's hitting
the soprano notes
he's a eunuch
another thing
I saw
I sent you this
I
like I love the rock
I think
Joe do you love the rock
everyone loves the rock
everyone loves the rock
this person
was at a
concert
or I don't know
what it was
they basically
crowd surfed their baby
up to the rock
crowd surfed him
the whole way up
just so the rock
could hold his baby
it's very Pope John Paul
Croke Park vibes
when the Pope
came to Ireland
Joe
people were throwing
their babies up
on the stage
so the Pope
could you know
lift the baby
or whatever
yeah
well this time around the streets the stage so the Pope could, you know, lift the baby or whatever. Yeah! Well, this time around,
this time around,
the streets were empty
for the Pope.
Firing them up
like little hand grenades.
They just,
babies just falling out of the sky,
landing on the stage
and then he'd blast them
and kick them back into the crowd.
That's what I heard.
God, they did
fling their kids up.
Pope John Paul,
everyone kind of liked him.
It's when the other fella came,
Pope Francis,
no one,
no one even bothered going out in the streets to him. I know him. when the other fella came Pope Francis no one even bothered
going out in the streets to him
I know
I take a blessing off Pope Francis
you have the moral compass
I was going to say
you have the moral compass
of a serial killer
but I'm probably the same so
excuse me
I have very high morals
oh my god I nearly forgot
I nearly forgot
where's my phone
I did a call out for questions
because
and it's interesting
the difference in the questions that people had for us because I was actually going to do a quiz
for Joanne and then I thought it would be actually more interesting to get um questions off you guys
and unlike Joanne I have starred them so you won't be waiting 90,000 hours to get but they don't they
don't know we wait 90,000 hours because we well Jo you're welcome I've starred them unlike that
little witch now there's loads to choose from because actually there was a lot of very good questions
so oh there was this one what did the girls say to joanne on the stage um see i got a lot of them
i was desperate to know what that was uh what's your worst habit i'm my worst habit is probably
flaking on things yeah i'm a bit of a flake. I get overwhelmed.
But I don't know.
So I don't have a lot of time off at the moment.
So if I have a day off, I'll look ahead and it'll excite me to make a plan.
Do you know what I mean?
Because I'll be like, oh, great.
I can see someone.
I'll do something.
I'll go out.
I'll go blah, blah, blah.
Big brunch.
Go this.
And then when the day comes, of course, I'm absolutely, you know,
interested.
I'm wrecked.
Yeah, yeah.
So there's a lot of cancelling going on at the moment.
I'd say that's my
worst
habit
I don't
I wouldn't
I kind of like
when I get a cancel
mine is
I probably
I probably
don't do enough
with other people
like Amber goes out
and lives her best
London life
and I'm kind of like
no I kind of want to
just stay in tonight
and then I'm like
I really
I feel like the other day
oh god I was caught
in my scooter
by two people I know
and they actually slagged me.
So I know it looks bad.
But anyway,
I was out in my scooter
and I was going home
and I was like scooting home
and I thought,
God,
I'm such a loser now.
That's me for the night.
I'm going home at four o'clock in the day
and I don't plan on going anywhere else.
Scooting home,
there's never,
there has,
I don't think I've ever heard
an unsexier term in my life.
If you knew how,
I'm taking the scooter with me today as well,
by the way.
It's so handy.
I told you,
I'm considering buying an electric one.
Would you call each other in an emergency?
Yes,
we do do that.
Yeah,
I would.
We like to have a good rant at each other for that.
Who would make a better prime minister?
I don't think I'd want the job to be honest with you liz trust
is getting absolutely battered like no thank you i don't think any of us would be good for that job
god love her is she as bad as they say i don't know i have me keeping an eye i don't really
keep an eye i don't know why anyone go into politics everyone hates you like why would you
do that to yourself absolutely horrific if you had a hundred pounds to spend on me what would
you buy me you're impossible to buy for okay go on what would you buy me because you've so you've
you just have everything you need if I was going to get you something I would get you I'd get
vouchers I always think vouchers for you for restaurants things like that facials I like lip
balms you've you've a sea of lip balms in your drawers.
I don't, I never have enough lip balms ever
because I use them so much.
I'd buy you the coil.
That's what I'd buy you.
I'm telling you, I don't know if I want a fourth shot.
It's like babies in this house.
You're going to do it.
I know you're going to do it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'll let you go first.
Oh, I liked this one.
What three things does Vogue or Joanne have on their bedside locker?
On the locker, not in the drawers, by the way.
You don't want to know what's in her drawers.
Well, I'm not allowed to have anything in my locker because I live with a fucking serial killer.
So does he not have anything on top?
Everything is cleaned away.
It doesn't matter how much I try to make a stamp in this house.
I'm always cleaned.
I'm always brushed into a drawer.
What's in your drawer then?
Three things.
Honestly?
Books, meds, money.
Money in your drawer.
Mine is lip balm, book and earplugs.
