Duration: ~20 minutes

Episode Overview

In this MTGM EXTRA! bonus episode, Vogue and Joanne dive into the chaos of their real lives, discussing everything from beauty preparation mishaps to celebrity encounters, the emotional lead-up to an Oasis concert, and the ongoing (hilarious) debate about tampons and swimming pools.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Beauty Prep for Filming & Social Standards

• The episode opens with a very relatable rant about the stress of preparing hair and makeup for shooting an ad, especially when skincare content demands a "bare-skinned" look.
• Joanne: "I have this level of hair blindness ... I think I've done my own hair. And then when I see the footage, it looks like I've had sex upside down in a bin." (00:30)
• Vogue: Upset about skipping tanning, feeling like she’s going to look rough on camera, and hoping the ad will still say "how great we look." (01:27)
• They share anecdotes about managing expectations in beauty content, including a hilarious "bare-skinned and in your brassiere" directive from a Trini London shoot.
• Memorable moment: The discussion of what bras are appropriate for filming and how different bras affect confidence, with lighthearted teasing about breast and bra choices, even referencing breastfeeding antics (02:45).

2. Celebrity Sightings and Opinions

• The conversation shifts to celebrity encounters, especially Dakota Johnson at a posh LA hotel and feelings toward Daniel Radcliffe.
• Vogue: “Where was she looking? Is she gorgeous? In real…like skin like glass?” (04:17)
• Joanne jokes about the intensity of American celebrity obsession versus the more casual Irish approach to celebrity sightings.
• There’s some playful disdain for Leonardo DiCaprio's dating habits, but with the underlying consensus that his behavior is “just what men want to do but can’t.”
• Joanne: “He just gets... he just can. That’s the problem. The rest of the men just want to do it and can’t.” (06:11)

3. Feeling Your Age (Or Not)

• A reflective tangent emerges about how old the hosts feel compared to their actual ages, triggered by DiCaprio’s admission that he feels 32 inside.
• Joanne: “I think you always feel about 10 years younger than your age...” (07:00)
• Vogue admits to feeling 52 right now due to sleep deprivation, but usually feels about 29-30.
• This transitions into chat about what maturity means and references to elderly people in interviews (“Inside I still feel like I’m 19”).

4. Oasis Obsession & Concert Emotions

• Vogue reveals it's "Oasis day" for her—her excitement is so intense she cried listening to Oasis on her morning run (07:41).
• Both hosts are attending on different nights in Dublin—Joanne's skipping Saturday to avoid a hangover before work.
• The afterparty envy kicks in; Joanne reveals potential inside connections, playfully boasts about her access, and torments Vogue with the idea she might get in.
  • Joanne: “I cannot reveal my sources, but let me say, there’s been a lot of blow jobs given, if it makes you feel any better.” (09:39)
• The anxiety and embarrassment of idol worship: Both admit that even if they could attend the afterparty, they might be too starstruck to actually enjoy it.
• They discuss the phenomenon of fans bringing ashes to concerts, including a wild story about someone emptying their brother’s ashes during "Champagne Supernova"—to mixed reactions from the trio.
• Vogue: “I wouldn’t mind ashes being put on me... It’s kind of sentimental.” (11:06)
• Discussion extends to a viral story where someone spilled their mother’s ashes on a plane, leading to a practical debate on urn design and the best way to clean up a spill ("Just Hoover them up.").
  • Joanne: “Suction up your loved one into the belly of a Dyson.” (12:37)

5. First Gigs & Childhood Memories

• The hosts reminisce about their early gig experiences: Vogue’s first ever gig was Oasis at 12, while Joanne “attended” a Michael Jackson concert by sitting on a wall outside the venue with her siblings (13:43).
• The differences in how their parents approached gigs and the "hustle" of the 80s are affectionately mocked.

6. Haunted Teslas and Ghost-Hunting

• Vogue shares a viral story about Tesla’s cameras supposedly seeing spirits in graveyards, sparking plans among her friends to do their own ghost chase.
• Joanne: “Isn’t it funny that people want to be scared...to intentionally freak yourself out?” (15:59)
• The segment captures the blend of belief, skepticism, and gleeful self-trolling typical of the show.

7. The Water-Tampon (Swimming Pool) Debate - Vindication!

• Listener emails back up Vogue’s claim that a dive or jump in water can push a tampon higher or "flip" it, described in gory (and funny) detail by a listener whose ex had to perform a tampon rescue operation after a holiday swim.
  • Listener email (paraphrased at 16:25): “One, two, skip a few… my ex-boyfriend has one hand holding his phone, attempting a medical procedure. To this day, I’m mortified. Joanne, consider this your evidence that water can absolutely flip a tampon.”
• Joanne: “Fine. I’ve been shown. You’ve shown me. I stand down. I stand corrected. And also, what a gentleman that man is.” (17:28)
• The conversation spirals into competitive ribbing about the size of each other's vaginas, plans to measure “who’s smaller," and the suggestion that the winner should get to go to the Oasis afterparty—a perfect example of the hosts’ irreverence.
  • Joanne: “Why are we fighting about the size of your vagina? We’re grown women. I’m going to bring a measuring tape in later.” (18:54)
