B
This is a global Player original podcast. She just gets those feet out wherever the wind may take her.
C
I feel like I am finally a bit submissive. I'll go on the bottom now. I'm a bottom.
B
You do not need a liter of water for a 5k run. You don't need any water.
C
You don't know what I need. Would you not homeschool them? That's all the trad wives are doing. They seem to be very happy.
B
You know what? I am.
C
I'll help. No, I can spell difficulty, not just a pre face. Well, well, well, look at those.
B
I can't wait to talk about the hair.
C
Joe, I don't know if you've noticed, But I have 60 miles of hair. Have you noticed?
D
Joseph, why are you wearing the hair of 10 people?
B
Well, if she grew her hair. That's the way it bro. I've never. The look in that hairdresser's eyes. By the end of the day he said so.
C
He says I have six packets of hair in as of stanos in my hair.
B
I think we should give Tommy a shout out on the main and on the bonus if he's still. If he's still with us alive because I know how long it takes to put into my fine pissy hair. But Joanne is like Mufasa.
C
Tommy Bale Burel is his name. I have to give him a shout out. He said he's. No fingerprints left. It took. It took almost a full day. And they were how many hours? Maybe four. Four, four, five hours. Something like that. It actually wasn't bad. He's a. He's a pro. He flew through us but he was. You could see that, the life going from behind his eyes. But I. So I had Stan. I was put in fake. Fake. Not fake stanis but like temporary. Stan was put in by having clip ins. Exactly.
B
Yeah.
C
For the Claudia Winkleman show. And I really liked them. It made me feel very feminine. I felt very empowered. And I'm told you on in the. While you're having your midlife audit, while you're getting Your tattoos and buying your houses and adopting pets. What else do you want to do? And I was like, get your stenos. So that's what I've done. And, and when I say I went swimming the other day and the person I was with was like, oh, my God, look at your hair. You look like an otter. And I was like, an otter. It's supposed to be a mermaid. An otter.
B
Excuse me, Ariel.
C
Yeah. Oh, look. You look like Shrek floating in the. No, it's supposed to be romantic.
B
Fiona,
C
You're going get green. You're going to get green everywhere. Fiona, get in.
B
I want to know how you're coping, John, because this is a lot of hair to deal with. And I, I did warn you about the amount of hair.
C
Yeah. No getting on Vogue. You are one of the most kind of self aware, streetwise people I know. And Vogue will flag stuff for me that I have not considered. And there's been several things across the years where she's like, have you considered that this, this will be a knock on effect of you doing that thing? And I'm always grateful. And you're absolutely dead right. Vogue, you're right. It is like a wall of hair. It's like dragging a car behind me. I went, I tried to.
B
Are you not sweating loads?
C
Sweating loads. Actually, not more than usual because it's Australia. There's Airon everywhere. But I will say the gym has been a challenge and I'm, I'm very proud of myself. I'm keeping on top of my, my fitness and my wellness while, while I'm abroad this time because the last tour, Prosecco, I went monkey nuts. But the, the hair in the gym is. But I'm sorry, I just feel like the day I got it in, it was Anzac Day in Australia. Ah, it's so worth it. And I've, I, you know, I've spoken about this on the podcast. I have felt a little vaginally dead of late and kind of checked out of everything romantically and lo libido and was considering Viagra. Just cba, as the kids say, could not be ar. And suddenly now I'm flicking the hair, I feel a little bit more feminine, I would say.
B
I don't know if people take this wrong way, but it makes, it makes me feel younger when I've got longer hair. It does. And everyone's like, no, stay short. And I'm like, yeah, but then I won't look young and fun. I want to be. I'm a cool mom. I want to be a cool mom. And it's the same with tan, though. Like, I can't live without a tan. I can't live. I love having my long hair extensions.
C
I.
B
As a giant person with large hands and a deep voice, it's nice for me to have these girly things, a
C
billion percent and whatever works for us, you know? But there is some. There's a femininity thing, and I think, as well. I've spoken about it before my job. I've. It's quite. I feel quite masculine in my role, and then it's kind of seeped into my personal life and I feel like I'm quite. I'm a bit. There's maybe too much big dick energy romantically for me at the moment. So this has kind of pared me back a little bit. I feel a little bit softer in myself. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying women should be soft. I'm just saying dainty and.
B
And. And. And demure.
C
I feel like I am finally a bit submissive.
B
I am.
C
I'll go on. I'll go. I'll go on the bottom now. I'm a bottom. I'm a bottom.
B
Joanne. Yeah, right. As if you were a top lady.
C
I was a top f. Sorry, V, we've spoken about this before. We've spoken about this before. I am a top in the right circumstances.
B
Okay? Everyone's a top in the right circumstances. It usually involves having quite a few drinks. And as we've said before, Spenny always does get a fright when I start moving around, and he's like, where are you going? I'm like, yeah, on top at that time of year?
C
Happy Christmas home. Mama's been squatting. Mama's had her Red Bull. She's willing to ride above you.
B
I. Excuse me. Even when I'm not riding above, I'm still doing it from other areas.
C
There's always movement, of course, and no one disputes that.
B
What are you making that face for, Joe? I'm moving. I'm always humping.
D
That's always humping. That's the word I was worried you were going to use. And there it is.
B
I'm always humping.
C
Sorry, Joe, for the record, there's a lot of work in receiving, just so you know. Okay.
B
Yeah.
C
We're not just lying there like an Albion bag.
D
We're pumping. I'm getting the impulse, like, it's time for me to apologize. I'm not certain why, but I feel like it is.
C
He's like, allegedly. It's like no, this is actually allegedly Vogue goes on top once a year. No, no, that is statistically correct.
D
Spencer doesn't have any right of reply at the moment. We should ask him if that's true. We should. We should find out.
B
He'll probably deny my. He'll. He'll deny my place of once a year.
C
He's like, I haven't seen that girl's kneecaps in 10 years.
B
Oh, my God. No. Soon it will be the only way. Think about it. When I get bigger and bigger, it's going to be the only way I've
C
been including your pregnancy on stage. People are very excited.
B
That's nice, isn't it?
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
I've even telling them how disappointed you are.
C
No, no, I haven't. I haven't even involved. I haven't even told them about the surrogacy thing. I'm like, just like, let fol have her moment. I'm like, just have another baby.
B
And people are. I see when people say it to me now, they're like, oh, my God, congrats. And I know they're looking at me like, what the is wrong with you four kids? What the.
C
I got a very strange message from a woman about you having a fourth child. And you know that we talk about this projection that all the time. People are kind of projecting their own. Yeah, issues, traumas, insecurities, paranoias, whatever. And the message was something along the lines of, why is she doing this? Is she trying to show off? And I was like, I didn't. Obviously didn't engage with the message. I think your fertility triggered her in a way which I don't. I don't know. I read it immediately and I was like, oh, this woman has obviously had some, you know, issues along the way, and she's kind of.
B
No, Joanne, she's completely right. That's why I've had a fourth child. I only wanted to show off. It's a flex. There's literally no other reason except for the fact that I wanted to show off.
C
It's a fertility flex. And my God, you've made your point.
B
Girl has been made.
C
This woman's got eggs for today.
B
No, we were on a walk and Spenny was like, oh, you're probably gonna want to have. I was talking about Miriam o', Callaghan, who had seven.
C
Oh, yeah.
B
Seven kids, I think. I think Ace Jody Fox Chat thought, how many kids? Miriam o', Connor, you know, she sent
C
me a beautiful letter.
B
She's very nice, isn't she?
C
So kind. And I actually must get onto her. Because I only actually found the letter a week ago. It went into the. It went into the tour bag. Yeah. Eight. Eight, eight. Four girls, four boys.
B
Oh, my. Well, I was talking to Spenny about Miriam o', Callaghan, because I was talking about how brilliant she was.
C
Miriam, just for context. Vogue. Now that you're big into the context. Miriam is.
B
Miriam is a huge TV and radio presenter in Ireland, and she's really clever, and she is just.
C
We love her.
B
She. Yeah, we love her. So she. So we were talking about her and I was like, spend. No. God, no. We wouldn't have any more kids. And he started telling me that I had said that when I was pregnant the last time, and I was like, well, that's not true, because I've always said I wanted four.
C
Even I know that.
B
I said no. Yeah. I had a phase where I said, no, three is enough. And then I decided, no, actually, I do want four because, well, I hate myself and I don't want any time alone for myself ever again.
C
As someone who comes from a smallish family, I've one brother who I adore, and a mother who I adore. But, like, I would love if there was thousands of us. Like, I would.
B
You know, when you're full to the brim, I know that I'm nearly full to the brim. I've started giving away Gigi's clothes. I'm gonna. I'm gonna be, like, more like you. I'm gonna get more dogs. I'm getting a cat because the kids want a cat. Considering ducks because there's a pond I didn't see in the garden of our house. Now, it is tiny, and I know that the ducks will fly away, but still, I'm gonna get the ducks.
C
Oh, my God. Imagine just discovering a pond after you purchase the house. Like.
B
Well, it's. It's more like the Secret Garden. It's a sink. It kind of looks like a bit like a sink.
C
This is very Gordon Ramsay coated.
B
Well, the woman who owned our house before us loved gardening, and she won all these gardening awards. And, like, we have pictures of the garden when she was, like, when it was at its best and everything. Obviously now it's a bit overgrown, but we're going to keep all the, like, cool stuff that she's planted and trees. Yeah, like that.
C
And I think that's the same. I think that's the same thing to do. Like, I have, as you know, just
B
bought a house literally four minutes from me. Absolutely thrilled.
C
Yeah, literally. And I've.
B
When Are you gonna move in? I'm a year away.
C
Well, I think I'm gonna be in. In June. Ish. Now it's already been a bit of hectic. Obviously I haven't been there and whatever. But. But yeah, it's. I think it's Juneish. It's. It's happening. Yeah. What was my point? What were you saying about the house?
B
We went to our new house. Our build started yesterday and I went over there. Yeah, I went over to the house to meet the builders.
C
Now I was expecting flower wall.
B
So for your content, of course, I'm a basic.
C
I'd like a flower wall if that's possible. Just some hydrangeas and a ring light. That's all I need. And I can go out with my. My garden. I've seen your garden and it is. It's like art. My garden's lovely, but it's just. It's just a normal little garden. But I would like. I'd like a flower wall there if I can make some requests.
B
Why don't. Why don't I get you a flower wall for your garden and that you're moving in present.
C
No, no, let's keep the tack. Let's keep the tack open. Yours.
B
Okay, fine, fine. We'll keep all the only. Oh, I can't wait for my fake firewall. But I went over and I was introducing myself to the builders and I kind of went into the garden with Sven. I was like, like I kind of. I expected to see a crane or like a bulldozer or something. There's nothing. They're ripping up a floor. And he was like, did you honestly think they were just going to come in on the first day and knock out the back of the house? And I was like, yes, yes, yes.
C
I was expecting.
B
I've already mentioned, yeah, I've moved in. I've half packed. Should I change the kids school? And then I had to get back onto the school and I was like, sorry, lads, I'm after going a bit prematurely. I have to put them back in for another year.
C
Would you not homeschool them? That's all the trad wives are doing. They seem to be very happy.
B
You know what? I am. So I have so much time on my hands that I would love to homeschool the kids. I'll help.
C
I also am the same. I have a lot of time on my hands and I'd. I'd love to come down and teach them civics and Greek and Roman mythology.
B
Studies are very civic teacher.
C
And as you know, I Have a first class degree in sociology. Just to put that out there once again and happy to lean in and teach what one's mine. Otto, about sociology.
B
Yeah, okay.
C
If I was homeschooling my children, it would just be wall to wall nature tables and that'd be the height of us. They'd come out, they'd know what an acorn was, but they couldn't read. I need to lick my wounds.
B
What? What's happened?
C
I just had a weird show.
B
Why? No, I wouldn't say you did.
C
I had a weird.
B
Unless you took out like a machete or something and threatened the audience. Besides that, I don't think it could have gone that far.
C
Well, that's exactly what I did.
B
Okay, it does sound like something you might do.
C
That is what I did. Yeah. I took a machete out. I. I tried to open the show with machete and it didn't go down well.
B
No, but what happened?
C
So I'll tell you, it was. It was grand, but I'm just off stage, so I'm kind of. It's in my soul. Like, it's in my DNA. I'm just tired, I think. To be honest. It's like Tuesday night in Sydney. Anyway, I've had like a wonderful tour. Sydney and Australia. Australia, New Zealand. And then tonight I was just really, really tired. And you know when you're like, it's fine, but I don't feel like I'm firing on all cylinders. So then I do that very Irish thing where when anyone has tagged me saying, oh, nice show, I've written back on. I'm so sorry about that. I was really, really tired. And they're like, oh, God, I. I really don't need this much information. I. I've forgotten.
B
I forgot they had a nice time. Stop ruining it for yourself.
C
I literally forgot I was there, John. I've moved on my life. And I'm like, no, no, I can only apologize. I can only apologize. I was quite tired. I was quite tired. Do you know when you're like, just. You're like, I just couldn't get the energy in me. So I apologize. It was grand.
B
Well, no one left her friend.
C
Not that I could see.
B
Anyway, my friend went to see you in Sydney. And first of all, Grace, thank you for not asking me to ask Joanne for a ticket. She bought tickets. Friends square. Usually I'll have people. I'm like, I. I have to. I don't get back to certain people. I'm like, I'm not asking her for a ticket. I'm just not doing it. But even though you kindly give somebody like fair Playgrace. She said she had a great time.
C
Yeah. She didn't go to the Tuesday snail show. It was like an out of body experience. I can't explain it. It was mad. And then of course I rang Rick, my agent after, and I was like. And he was like, stop. Stop this. Stop self flagellating. But I think it. Do you know what?
B
Rick is like the complete wrong person to ring. He is such a boy's blokey boy. He'd be like, oh, God, why is she ringing me?
C
He was actually fine now. I didn't cry, it wasn't that bad. But he was like, you know what? Always one week show in a tour and that's. You've just had it and that's it. But I think it's like, it's like, you know when you have a cold sore on your face and you meet someone and you're like. You have to say that. You're like, oh, I. I know I have a col sore. Do you ever get that, Joe, where you're like, spot in my face? Do you not know get.
D
You get, get ahead of it? I don't know. I know.
B
Yeah.
C
So the show was fine, but it wasn't to what I would like it to be. At one point I was like, I would literally, I would lie down here on the ground now and just nap. And I had two Red Bulls before I went on. Anyway, tomorrow's a different day of a double show tomorrow. And then I'm gone. I'm gone back to the UK and it was fine. I don't want to make out like it was dog. It was grand. But I was, I was, I was tired. I was tired. I'm tired.
B
Well, you're gonna have a lovely sleep tonight. The Red Bull will kick in in about four minutes.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've ordered a barrel of Ritalin for tomorrow for the double.
B
Yeah. I've been going around apologizing for my breath all day because. Do you ever see people when they go o doing this podcast? I feel a bit ill because, like it's bouncing off the mic and I can smell it myself.
C
There is an odor.
B
Sorry, folks.
C
There is an out.
B
I basically. Do you ever see all those people and they go wild garlic picking in Ireland, there's always someone. Column Keane, one of our friends, are always out garlic picking. It's the wild garlic picking season now. I went and picked mine in the, in the nice shop down the road. But I put it on my eggs this morning. And it's like. It's the biggest stench. Like there's no. This is. This is like a four, I'd say.
C
Are you foraging your own garlic or am I. Am I So B.
B
And sage.
C
Oh, sorry, fine. I missed that bit.
B
Yes, I went wild cardic picking in B.
C
Sorry, I missed that bit. My ears are collapsing with the tiredness. I missed that bit. Sorry, sorry.
B
Yeah, you.
C
Well, no, sorry about that. Is still foraging, you know, and. And. And that. That shop has a lovely. They'll give you a lovely basket. It's a lovely basket experience.
B
Sorry. Do you know they charge like 22 quid for almonds in there for a bag of almonds? 22 quid.
C
Sorry.
B
Fanny's mom goes in there.
C
Sorry. Sorry about that. Of what?
B
Almonds. We know you say almonds, but everyone said that. You are wrong. Joe. Say almonds.
D
Well, no, I'm not the arbiter. I'm not the judge. I say almonds, but that doesn't mean I'm right or wrong.
C
Sorry, I. I do realize we are at the stage of. There's a heavy repetitiveness of this podcast because we're 28 years in. This is. This is ringing a bell. But you do realize that no one says almonds, Only American, everybody.
B
No almonds. Almond. Where's the L gone? Why have you just forgotten about the L?
C
It's silent.
B
It's not a silent. It's not.
D
I think what we've. What we discovered last time is, Joanne, you do side with the Americans, whereas we. The other side.
C
How dare you. Don't. I know what you're doing. Don't throw me down that. That MAGA pipeline. I know exactly what you're doing. Joe. I'm an American tourist. Are coming up. I am very pro trump.
B
We can. We.
D
Gosh, what a revelation.
B
Don't you dare tar us all with that bush.
C
And while I'm talking about Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Denver, San Francisco. All on sale. Thank you.
B
All on sale. Yes. And Joanne likes to say basil as well. Okay, just so you know, put it out.
C
I don't believe in the H. I
B
don't believe in H. Yeah, speaking.
C
Speaking of spelling, can I actually ask you a question?
B
So, no, I can't spell jewelry. I say jewels.
C
Well, no. God, no one can spell jewelry. It makes no sense. I can't spell spaghetti or disappointed.
B
Miss. Oh, no, I was thinking about that poem from Matilda, but that said difficulty.
C
No, I can spell difficulty. You know, I can. I can. I can obviously spell Mississippi because That obviously comes with a jingle and a tune. But I did a TV show over here yesterday.
B
Yeah.
C
Called the Spelling Bee by Guy Montgomery. It is a big show in Australia and ultimately it is comedians spelling. Right. So I was like, obviously, I'd love to join. I have a degree in English. Fire, Fire, fire.
B
I love, I love how Joanne's degrees just morph. They morph into different philosophy to English Arts. Arts. No, no, go on.
C
Anyway, no, no, not philosophy. Vogue. But you can check this topic. Sociology. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I read a philosophy magazine. It's not quite the same thing. And a lot of memes. So anyway, straight out of the bath they have the.
B
The show.
C
It's actually really good crack. They have three pots that you can pick from. There's like the really easy part, the middle of the road pot, and then there's like the kind of the smog barrel if you think you're like super smart. So I was like, okay, okay, I
B
have a degree even smug.
C
No, I didn't actually. I played it safe and I went mid first class.
B
I think I'd go smog. I'm actually good at spelling.
C
You would have struggled. I'm sorry. Now. And this is. No, that's not.
B
Okay, I'll answer it right now.
C
Well, this is what I was gonna ask you because I was like, oh, God, this will be. Now, in fairness, I also do know my iq. No more than a lot of things in my life. I just rather not know what it is.
B
It's enough. It's enough.
C
Caterpillar.
B
Oh, I can. You couldn't spell that.
C
Spell caterpillar, please.
B
C, A, T, E or P, I, L, L, A.R.
C
yeah, 100.
B
Yeah.
C
When I say my brain shot itself. Live on Australian TV.
B
Oh my God. 42 year old woman with every shade solely for a video without any shade. I'm gonna record Theodore spelling caterpillar later.
C
You should, you should. Because I deserve that. I deserve it. It was mental. My whole brain, I do say, and I know I'm repeating myself, I am very tired at the moment. I am working. There's a lot going on. But even that I don't think I can defend. I misspelled ca. So I was like, okay, well, cash, I've got that, I've got that. I said, cat. And he was expecting like a round of applause from the audience. They're just like, yeah,
B
not just a pretty face.
C
You can't have it all. Look at me.
D
Look at me, Cat. You know the rest. You know the rest. You know how it Goes, yeah, you
C
take it from here, Guy. And then I honestly don't know what I said. I don't know what I said. I think I actually said you or I don't know. I think I said no. Do you know what I think I said? I think I said C A T. No. Do you know what? I'm actually looking at it now. I cannot. I cannot even remember how I it up.
B
When is this error, please. I'm finally gonna get my come opens from. Do you know what? We're thinking about doing a new tour. This sounds like a great piece of content.
D
Well, getting little spelling bee.
C
A spelling bee. I have to say, the show was a great crack. It was so much fun.
B
Hot spell hot.
C
Yeah. I was like. So then I was like. Because when Guy, when we opened the show, he was kind of. You know the way they ask you questions at the start of a show and they're like, oh, so like, you know, in Ireland, he was kind of taking the piss. He's like, you know, is. Is your language different there? And I was very like, how dare you? This is all very racist coded. And how dare you? Obviously we. Are you going to ask us if we wi fi? Like, obviously we spell like you do. One, two, skip a few. The second I up caterpillar, I was like, it's different in Ireland.
B
That's how we spell it in Ireland.
C
That's how we spell it in Ireland.
B
Stick to your guns. Yeah.
C
We're our own ethnicity and it's different in our country. I got nearly every single word except the last round, which was literally like cash, Matt, Sash, every word. Because I feel like. Because when you're young, you're writing and you're taking it in and you're like. It's just the muscle is gone.
B
Don't listen. You don't need to feel bad about it. Like, I only got it because I'm such an avid reader, so I see these words crop up for me.
C
SHE INHALES INHALES BOOKS I made a holy show of myself.
B
I know. I know how that feels. When you go on a show and you don't, you answer, yeah, stupidly. But you're also on a show and you're under pressure. It's not the same as spelling caterpillar amongst friends.
C
The Devil Wears Prada preview.
B
Absolutely exactly what you want it to be. Really funny. I'm even more in love with Meryl Streep. The whole thing just works seamlessly. But like, a premiere is a premiere. I. I don't. I like, I Have a love hate relationship with them. Because I love the idea of going and getting dressed up and having fun. But then I just feel like a player when I'm there. Because I think if you're not in the movie, like, just go away. You know, that's kind of what I feel about like all of us. I think it's just. Should be about the movie people. But like then we just kind of
C
pop along and I. Yeah, but they want you there. They want people there for press and stuff. Forgetty images and like that's, that's like you're invited and you're, and you're. And you're supposed to be there. Like you can't feel bad about that. They've invited you.
B
No, obviously I didn't get the knot.
C
I didn't get the knot. But that's.
B
Well, you are always invited. Sure. When I got invited first, my, my agent was like, oh, you have a plus one. And I was like, oh, cool, I'll ask you on. And he was like, would you. Not you. You don't think of us since Benny. And I was like, Jesus Christ, would you? He didn't even cross my mind.
C
Did you think about me first?
B
I thought about you first.
C
So cute.
B
What? He didn't. I was like, no, he didn't even cross my mind. He wasn't even second on the list.
C
Oh, did he go in the end?
B
He did. There he is. How weird is that? There he is. Okay, I'm just recording. Hey, chica, stay away. What do I think of.
C
He's got his pants on for once. That's a relief.
B
He does have his pants on. That's because he has sore balls because he ran the London Marathon. Yes, I know, I went on a bit last year. But if you're ever in London or anywhere that has a marathon on. The atmosphere is actually so much crack. It's really, really nice to go to. But I was there obviously to see Span and so we're trafficking him and he.
C
Did he win?
B
No.
C
Did he win?
B
Do you know somebody? Somebody broke a sub two hour marathon.
C
Now, V, you have to remember who you're speaking to, cuz you realize this is jibber jabber to myself.
B
He's broke the world record for the fastest marathon ever run. His name is Sebastian saul. He ran 1 hour 59 minutes, 30 seconds. Like that is 26. What is it? 26.2 miles. What is it in kilometers? 43 kilometers.
C
Having a fucking.
B
For instance, it takes me. It takes me nearly an hour to do 10 km.
C
If the man leaves the station at 9am and runs 54 km. What time does he arrive, Jem?
D
Just in time, I'd have thought.
C
Sorry, Vogue. I have a question. Was he wearing a running vest?
B
Who was who wearing a running vest?
C
Your man who won the thing. Was he. What was.
B
Did.
C
Was he wearing a running vest? Oh, so he's allowed to wear a running vest, I see.
B
Oh, no. Oh, sorry. That's. That's not a running vest. You would suggest. That's you. It's. You're talking about a tank top. I thought. No, Joanne, he is. He is a record breaking runner. He wasn't going around with a running breast. And I have no problem.
C
Where is Keith?
B
It's. It's for people who are going, where's his phone? On a 5K run.
C
Where's his oyster?
B
Bringing a liter. Bringing a liter of water. You do not need a liter of water for a 5k run. You don't need any water.
C
You don't know what I need. You don't know what I need.
B
I do. And it's not that. Spenny, on the other hand, he. So he ran by me and I was like, hurry up, you're gonna break sub three. Now, he claims he wasn't trying to break anything. He was taking selfies of people along the way. He ran it in 3 hours and 4 seconds.
C
Is that. See, you're. You're. You're both are reacting to that like he.
B
Because. Because he could have run it in less than three hours if he had just sped up by six measly seconds. That's all he had to speed up by. Oh, he was gone full three hours.
C
He was being full Princess Diana going around doing the photos and all. So he lost his record is what you're saying. He's a saint.
B
3. And you want to see his balls, Joe. He is like.
D
He's hopping.
B
He's.
C
I'd have it. I take a look. I take a look.
D
I don't want to see balls.
C
I take a look.
B
Joanne. Spenny at night, right where he's watching the iPad. I'm gonna send you a picture of his balls. It is the funniest thing.
C
Are they crying on his side, Tiny
B
side, watching his iPad and his balls are just poking out the back. I nearly flew off. He nearly flew off the bed.
C
Is he in a lot of pain? Yeah, he has this huge.
B
This like big long strip of just like raw flesh.
C
Oh, my God.
B
I got it. I know. I got out the Elizabeth Arden. I was like, you'll have to Put that in the box. But I was thinking, you know, when you're, you know, when you're, when you're at the marathon, you're kind of like, maybe this seems great. Maybe I'll run the marathon. I've actually thought of reasons that I wouldn't run the marathon.
C
Oh, thank God. Okay.
B
On the marathon.
C
Yeah, let's go.
B
So, reasons I wouldn't. I wouldn't like to take someone else's spot. It's very hard to get a spot at the local marathon. And I think I just.
C
I've seen you do the egg and spoon Vogue. It's very impressive. I've seen you on parent sports Day. And if, if you're going to apply half energy to the London Marathon, I've no doubt Usain Bow to be quaking in his knickers.
B
This Sebastian fella won't know what hit him. I'll fly by him. I also don't like eating those gels that everybody has to eat. You know them, they just look, they're just not food. Not food.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
I only like running 5k, just at
C
the very top of the race. And then they realize she's on like some sort of motorized skateboards. Like she's cheating.
B
The image of Joanne going around with the running vest filled with gels for her 2K run Vogue with her fairy.
C
Her fairy vest on raising awareness for washing pods.
B
Keep out of reach of children.
C
She's on the wheelie shoes. You know, the shoes with the little wheels in them?
B
Yeah. Yeah. Well, you can do the London Marathon. Well, no, you can't actually. You have to use the hair. Well, I don't want to do it. I. I like. I don't like really entering competitions unless I know I'm gonna win. And I also don't like ever running more than 10k, so they're my reasons.
C
And I find. I find even 10k like, wildly impressive.
B
It's too much. I haven't. No. I say I don't like running 10k. I'm not saying I run 10k, but I'm saying that would be my limit if. If I was to ever get up to 10k. I don't get up to 10k. I did an okay last year.
C
Sometime we're not supposed to run that much. Like or other are Spencer's balls crying and disappearing like, we're not supposed to run that much. It's not normal, Joe. It's not natural. It's not natural.
D
You're not supposed to do that.
B
Well, he didn't. To be Honest, you know, this is. He doesn't wear underwear.
C
Hunt and gather, like. Hunt and gather. That's an afternoon. Like, that's a. That's a gentle day out. That's what we're supposed to do. Bit of hunting, bit of gathering. Not running 28 miles. I'm sorry. It's not normal, it's not natural.
B
You talked to your man Sebastian, who did it in under two hours, which is incredibly impressive. Did you see there was a fella who ran with a fridge on his back?
C
We did do him before. Has he. Is he back?
B
No, no, no, no. There's another fella with a fridge on his back. There was one guy who ran in full work gear, including work shoes. You know, like those. The brown shoes that all the lads used to running along in there. No, no, no. Like proper brown, like, wedding shoes. He ran and he did, like a 328 marathon. Three hours, 28. Which is pretty impressive.
C
This is like that lad. Do you remember your man in the spinning class? In the. In the double denim. I told you about him. Remember your man, God love him. I don't know what the deal was. I don't know. Was it for charity? Was he raising awareness for Bewitched? I don't know what he was doing, but he was wearing double denim. And he. I think he was just like. He was like, I'm gonna get involved in exercise, but maybe doesn't have the gear. Yash. So he's probably like, I'll see if I like it. So he's the opposite of me. Whereas I buy a drum kit to see if I like playing the drums. Whereas he's like, I'll try it first and see if I like it, and then I'll buy a pair of shorts and a tank top or whatever. But he was in double denim. He was in a double shirt and jeans.
B
I need an opinion. I need an opinion from both of you. Okay.
C
You've come to the right place.
B
I don't know how people feel about this. Right.
C
But I agree. I don't know. I don't know if the moon was landing was true. Is that what you wanted to know?
B
I'm kind of on the same page as you. I. I think that the Americans might have made that up just to beat the Russians. I don't know. Listen, we're not going to get into that. That's for another day. Very conspiracy. Now, I was in the gym the other day because I joined a gym and thanks to the girl who mailed me, or some girl mailed me and she was like, is that supposed to be a back squat? And I wrote back, I said, no, I'm tap dancing off.
C
Oh, sorry, sorry. I will. I will defend you to the end of the earth. When it comes to fitty bits, Vogue knows are fitty bits. Okay. And a folk squatting. She knows what she's doing. Don't be trolling her on spot.
B
So there was a lad in the gym and he had no shoes on and he had no socks on. He was going around barefooted, trampling all his feet. The gym. And I, I honestly, I nearly went and ratted on him. And then I said, vogue, you're not at home. You can't tell tales. You can't tell tales in. You have to say it to yourself or you don't say it at all. But how do you feel about it? I just don't like somebody going around with their bear Veruca feet.
C
Well, Vogue, it's. How interesting that you've brought this up because only recently. Yeah, bit of news coming your way. Bit of news only recently in Auckland. And like I say, I'm really trying to keep on top of my health on this tour. So I am doing my little fitty bits as. As much as I can. I wouldn't say I'm consistent, but I'm dipping the toe in and out. And when I say the toe, I mean the bare naked toe. One reason I've run out of socks, fine. Second reason, I'm wearing runners. And when you're lifting weights and like, like I said, like, you know, with yourself. Now I look, I'm like fanny and ranch. But it's very. You're on. On runners that are kind of plushy. Runny. Runny runners. It's hard to lift the weights. So, yeah, I was in the gym in the hotel in Auckland in my bare feet, living my life.
B
Disgusting.
C
My life. Now did I feel it?
B
She remember she got the trotters out in the plane. She had the trotters out in the plane as well. She just gets those feet out wherever the wind may take her. I did not tell us, John. You had. You admitted it to us. No, no, it was very podcast.
C
Not my bear face. Did I.
B
You had nude feet.
C
I do. I. Yeah, I do. I. I do think with. With the. There's a slight neuro spice with me when it comes to socks and the feeling of them. And so, yeah, I probably did take my socks off on the flight. But you know what? And let that be a lesson to us all. I don't know what the lesson is. But let it be.
B
It's not a lesson to Joanne, that's for sure. She's wandering around the gym and her bare trotters. You own a pair. You own a pair of metcons which are specific to weight training. You're still going around. They're the flat shoes for weight training. And you have a pair because I have the same ones as you. And you still going around with your.
C
Those little fluoro things.
B
Yes.
C
Jesus. I thought they were a little fashion Chicago. I've been wearing them away, too. I just like the color. So now that Australia and New Zealand has finished, I'm obviously on my next Pluggy Mac plug. And my. My big plugs for this week are Canada, Vancouver. So Vancouver, October 17th and Toronto November 8th.
B
Sorry, last thing on the London Marathon. Did you see Peppa Pig? Someone ran in a Peppa Pig costume. Daddy Pig. And then everyone thought it was Harry Styles. Which now brings me on to the fact that Harry. Sorry. Is engaged.
C
I can't, I can't.
B
I mean, I would just. Girls, girls, girls who are upset by this news. Don't be upset.
C
It's upset by that marriage.
B
It's his first marriage. Okay. A lot of hearts were broken when I got married the first time.
C
Indeed. I agree. There's a lot of.
B
There was.
C
There was a lot of sad, wet eyes and people were like, oh, my chance.
B
National day of mourning in Ireland. National day of mourning. They look like they might go the distance now. I have to say they look like they have a very nice time together. I know absolutely nothing about any of what they get up to, but I just know when I see them.
C
Thanks for confirming. Look like they match, that you have no inside information.
B
I have nothing at all.
C
When I say, and this is no shade to Harry Styles because obviously he's very talented and like, we all start from somewhere. But I can only imagine if you told Harry Styles when he was. Was 17, in his plaid shirt and his skinny jeans on Britain's Got Talent, you were going to marry Zoe Kravitz.
B
I mean, his daughter.
C
Come on.
B
The, like, Lenny Kit was another one who doesn't know what to wear at the gym. Remember he was working out in his leather trousers, Full leather pants. Yeah. Very brutal.
C
And when I say no shade to Harry, like, he's a very talented man, blah, blah, blah. But like there's, you know, we're all the. The universe is our oyster is what I would say. The universe.
B
Now, I do. I would fancy Harry Styles quite a lot. I do think he's gorgeous.
C
He's got a vibe. He's got game for sure. Yeah, of course he's got game.
B
He was always. He was always my favorite, the one that I fancy the most. Did you hear about that scrap that Zayn and Louis had?
C
Is that true? Do they punch each other in the face?
B
So supposedly, like, again, we have no context behind this because we don't know them, but we will. We will.
C
Never stopped us before.
B
Never stopped us before. At least we're admitting it before we're diving into it. But so basically they had a massive fight and then someone cut his head and they're both. And he was concussed. They were doing a Netflix documentary, filming a three part road trip and there were. The two of them were traveling around. I actually didn't know that they were like such good friends even before it. But supposedly then Zayn made a comment about. About Louis dead mum before punching him. Jesus. And yeah, and so there was a massive meal and so Netflix pulled the whole thing. But I don't know, I feel like Zayn might be the kind of person who would go a little bit too far in a fight, having a little argument with somebody and someone takes the jugular. Like what he did to Gigi Hadid's mom. I don't think he's a clean.
C
Oh, my God.
B
It would be like if you and me had a fight and you started slagging my mouth or something. In a hypothetical, if I'm waiting for you to land right, which terminal are you in? You're dead.
C
One of my favorite things when I do interviews in other territories is I love talking about. So actually, do you know what? This is an interesting segue. So you know, the way we do our culture corner. So, yeah, I'm in the middle of the. Listening to Lena Dunham's new memoir, Fame Sick. Right? Which is. I'm a big Lena Dunham fan. Even though I've been very clear. I've never watched Girls because I'm saving it for my deathbed. But I read everything she writes. I watched all the clips. I read the first book. I listened to her podcast. Sorry.
B
I have a brilliant idea. Why don't you and I, when you move into your new house, we'll have a date night once a week. I have never watched Girls on our date night once a week can be watched.
C
I'd love. I'd love that. But if we can do it in front of the flower wall. I feel like my relationship towards Lena Dunham is. I think she is like, obviously incredibly Talented. And she was so young when she had all that success. And the repercussions of having it, even in her own family, when it came to her, was originally her sister, now brother. Her parents, her creative relationships, everything fell apart. Her. She was going out with that guy Jack Watson's face. Everything fell apart. And as it. As it transpired, the whole way along, she was also dealing with, like, massive fertility issues. She ended up having a hysterectomy. She said she had blood clots the size of fucking grapes coming out. Like. Yeah, really intense. But she talks about her. So your one. Jenny, who she had this creative relationship with, who started Kind of Girls, was obviously Lena's baby, but Jenny was kind of her co writer on it or director on it. I'm not quite sure what the relationship relationship was, but she.
B
Yeah, hello.
C
Oh, sorry.
B
Are you being told to shut up? Yeah,
C
sorry. So sorry. There was just a knock on the door there from someone to tell me to keep it down, which is like, whatever. Fair enough, fine.
B
I think that you should treat her to one of your violent documentaries on Loud as you're going to sleep tonight.
C
Air crash investigation. She's obviously from somewhere more vicious, somewhere in Dublin where she knows my. My accent's incredibly annoying. She's like, shut the up. But the Lena Dunham memoir is unreal. Like, I'm a huge Lena fan. It's unreal. But she. Hold on.
B
What?
C
Oh, yeah, sorry. She talks about this fallout with her creative partner, Jenny. And I think there is something really interesting about creative relationships or business relationships which Vogue. Me and you. You and I have. And Joe, we. We also have to a certain degree. And the honesty around, the trickiness around those relationships at times. And I. So whenever I do interviews and they ask about me and you Vogue, I always tell them about arguments. I love it. I love it because I'm like, it's real, it's honest. And then I talk about how quickly we get it back and I say about the fact you're like a sister to me and that we always reign it back in. But I think working with people long term is tricky at times. Why did I start this?
B
Yeah, But I also. But I also think, though, even though that we have those fights, we do fight. Like. Like, I fight like you. I fight with you like I might fight with Amber.
C
Yeah.
B
But I wouldn't fight with other people like that.
C
It's an honor.
B
It's an honor. Welcome.
C
It's an honor to scrap with you. And also, like, in the words of Esther Perel, it's rip and repair. You rip and then you repair. And the. And the. And the kind of. Of the power is in how you repair and how quickly you repair. And that is the power I actually have.
B
You wanted to segue into something good to watch. I watched something that I've seen on, like, on Netflix the whole time, and I've never bothered watching it. And I sat down and I started season two weirdly, because I was like, I'm not gonna like this. I'm just gonna watch one because I was waiting for Spence come downstairs because we're watching the Murdoch thing, which is actually really good on Netflix. And. And so I put on season two, episode one of Love the Furies. Oh, my. I like. It's about Tyson Fury and his wife and their family. Paris Fury. And they are. I just. I see why it does so well. Oh, my God. They're so, like, their kids are just little mad jokes running around the place. How she is able to keep so calm with so much noise going around. Like, she's got. They've got seven kids, I think, and he obviously is this massive fighter, but they're just really nice people. Like, they're really, like. They're. They're absolutely minted, but they're just really normal, nice people. And I absolutely. 10 out of 10. I know everyone's probably already watching it. I thought was number one on Netflix, so they probably don't need this boost. But I absolutely loved it.
C
You're like, you're welcome.
B
I feel like when I meet them now that I'm gonna be like, hello.
C
Well, I have two other recommendations. Sorry, not. I have two of one recommendation and one complaint.
B
Okay.
C
My recommendation is. I've just finished reading Half his age by Jeanette McCurdy. Yeah, I'm glad my mother died. And it's. It's fantastic and it's brilliant. And it took me a beat to get into it, but it's weird and sexy and hot and I love it. But I have been waiting for White Lotus to come out for how long? Yes, I did. Helena Bam Carter has just been either walked away from the project, being removed from the project, whatever. I don't know. Whatever the spin is, they're like, it no longer works. The character doesn't work for Helen Bowman Carter, which means they're gonna have to recast and rewrite that. Well, it's gonna take longer. I don't know. It's gonna be 2036 by the time this comes out.
B
No, no, no, no. Because they're already there. They're already in France. They're already shooting. They're gonna have to make it work. I'll do actress. Whoever else they get in. Yeah, yeah, we'll all do it.
C
I don't know what happened. Helena, if you want to. If you want to slip into the DMs, mtgmpod.com Feel free to share what the issues were.
B
We're here.
D
We'll keep.
C
We'll keep it to ourselves. We'll keep it to ourselves.
B
And. And if the Furies would like to get in touch. Yes, we would like to spend some time with you.
C
So really, do we fancy the Furies? Okay, I'm on board.
B
Love the Furies. Oh, God. We better tell you we're on a break. We're on. We have a bonus to come and then we are on a break. So we're just taking a two week break. I mean, it could have been planned better considering Joanne's been in Australia. But anyway, the two week break starts after next week's bonus back.
D
Friday, the 22nd of May.
B
Oh, my God. The 22nd of May.
C
I have to keep my voice down. My neighbor hates me. That's you. Vogue. That's not me. You know, that's you. She can't hear me. It's you screaming.
B
She can. She can smell my breath.
C
She's like, bang, bang, bang. There's a bang of garlic in there. I'm trying to sleep.
B
Oh, God. This has been a global player original production.
