Joanne McNally
This is a global production. How on earth have you not dropped that clanger before? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just here as a pawn in a giant game. He has no respect for me. I'm out.
Joe
This is how awful rumors start.
Joanne McNally
Getting pumped up for Gigi's birthday party. Some pre drinking.
Joe
Imagine you arrived at Gigi's birthday. Absolutely,
Joanne McNally
I've seen that. Do you know that I. I need to go up and do one of those fun. You know when the. The cool aunt single, the child free aunt arrives and she's just chain smoking on the slide with the kids. That's what I need to do. That will be you.
Joe
Yeah, you can run. I'll give you the. I'll get you a Super Soaker. Will I?
Joanne McNally
Do you know what? I'd actually love a Super Soaker.
Joe
I know you would. I know all the things that you like.
Joanne McNally
Super Soaker.
Spencer
I am not Irish but even I know that that was incredibly open.
Joanne McNally
I discussed myself.
Joe
Well you don't discuss us but I want to know how was Wimbledon. Couldn't get a hold of Rio style and I thought Jesus. Joanne's stories feel very light on the
Spencer
Harry for such a busy day. So busy wise that's what. Yeah, wasn't it?
Joanne McNally
Maybe yes. For someone with a very thing. Well Vogue she knows full well she likes to poke the bear. She looks to Vogue loves. I think you sexually acclimatized to someone saying you are right. I think that's if Spencer if.
Joe
Just give it to me.
Joanne McNally
He's struggling and you're taking ages. If he just goes you were right all along. I say she just spasms with pleasure. Is that right?
Spencer
We going to need to put a parental advisory on this video. You're about to climax.
Joe
I am prepped and ready. Don't worry, I'll save it for the wine bank later. That's your.
Joanne McNally
That's your kink. Your kink is being told. Do you know what? You were right all along.
Joe
I should have Listened.
Joanne McNally
I should have listened to you.
Joe
I'm having a big day out. I'm going to do two. Two things. Are you sure you want. And then I started questioning myself. I thought, both. You're pregnant and you're boring. And that's what's happened. You would do two things. And then I thought, I don't think I would do two things. And I know Joanne won't do two things.
Joanne McNally
It was two.
Joe
It was.
Joanne McNally
It was three things, actually, because we had the POD record. And then I was Wimbledon and Harry Styles. Now, obviously, that. May I sound very booked and busy. That's an unusual state of affairs. It's just the way the social calendar fell over the summer. Anyway, I obviously bailed on Harry.
Joe
So tell us.
Joanne McNally
And he's not. He's not. He's not replying to my text now, so I've obviously pissed him off.
Joe
And you've only got two more. He's got two more concerts, though.
Joanne McNally
I. I have rescheduled. I'm going in on Saturday.
Joe
Are you actually. Sorry, yeah. Who's giving you these tickets that you're rescheduling?
Joanne McNally
I know, obviously, I can't. I can't. I. I'm taking the fifth. I'm taking the fifth. But I'm just gonna say, if you see me hanging out with Zoe Kravitz, don't be too shocked.
Spencer
She's not going to give any evidence on how she got tickets. I can give a bit of evidence here, just for context. Sake.
Joanne McNally
Harry's a big fan of the pod, Joe. As a Zoe.
Spencer
Absolutely. So they want you there.
Joe
Another thing.
Spencer
And I was walking out of Joanne's at 10. No, 11:30.
Joe
Yeah.
Spencer
And I will say that the champagne was open.
Joanne McNally
Yes, it was. Because it's Wimbledon day and I'm not playing
Joe
if I'm joining. It was hot.
Joanne McNally
It was, yeah, Joe, it was hot.
Spencer
Dreadfully hot.
Joe
It was hot. She was really hot. Yeah. And it's trying to hydrate.
Joanne McNally
I was due to play and I said, you know what? CBA couldn't be ours. I might play next year, but this year I'm just gonna have champagne and hang around and dilly dally and. Just one of those really annoying people who everyone's like, you don't even know who's playing.
Joe
Did you stay till the end?
Joanne McNally
I think I did, actually.
Spencer
Were people still playing tennis when you left or.
Joanne McNally
I think they were, yeah. There was definitely some tennis happening at Wibbleton that I can't confirm.
Joe
Okay, you have to. You have to tell us the truth. How much tennis did you watch?
Joanne McNally
I'm very aware of not riling people because I'm also very aware that we are very lucky that we do get tickets to stuff like this. And I'm also aware that there's people queuing and selling organs. Get in. So as funny as I think it is to sound very flippant about it, I did also go and watch the tennis. Just in case anyone thinks I just sat in the lawn getting deranged all day. I didn't. I also saw something.
Joe
Well, it's nice. It's nice of you to say that, but like, I don't think any one of our listeners or myself or Joe believe you, but it's nice that you would say that.
Joanne McNally
What are you talking about? Of course. Come on now. I know I'm lazy, but I'm not that bad.
Joe
Just doesn't feel very.
Joanne McNally
Joanne, thank you for Emirates for inviting me in.
Joe
Did they have the caviar? Did they have that? They did.
Grainger Advertiser 2
Did they?
Joe
It looks like they did.
Joanne McNally
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know I don't deserve it, but I'm certainly not gonna turn it down.
Joe
I think he shows.
Joanne McNally
I know, it's funny.
Joe
This is what happens when you move into such a big mansion like Joanna. Shut up, folk.
Joanne McNally
I know what you're trying to do, and I won't have it.
Joe
I can finally do is. It makes me so.
Joanne McNally
I know what she's doing. Listen, if you want this podcast to fall apart because we have two unrelatable women, fine.
Joe
You had people believing I owned a helicopter at 1.2 years ago. I'm here.
Joanne McNally
I'm keeping our legs in the ground here, okay? Carry on with this
Joe
snorting caviar in the Emirates tent.
Joanne McNally
I'm just saying I'm aware. I have enough self awareness to know that if you go to Wimbledon, if you're invite, if you're. If you're lucky enough to be invited in, you have to go to the tennis.
Joe
Ah, yeah, they do. They shut. They shuttle you out. They don't let you just sit there getting pissed. They do shut up. But the time part of the boars.
Joanne McNally
I was keen to go anyway, okay?
Joe
That's what I do.
Spencer
When they've made a scene and they're being thrown out, they go. I was going anyway.
Joe
Don't push your. Look, she's pushing her.
Joanne McNally
Look, They've caused a scene.
Joe
She couldn't wait.
Joanne McNally
You can't force me to watch it. We can actually.
Joe
Well, I'm not. I'm not a. I'm not missing a moment because Bear by Vogue are. We've got the team on the ground there next week, and we've got all these Bear by Vogue tennis balls. And I'm like, sorry, are you serious? Send me the tennis balls and I will be. I will be amongst the crowd doing Wimbledon content. I'm gonna try and shove tennis balls on my heels and wear that.
Grainger Advertiser 2
Are you.
Joanne McNally
Are you serious?
Joe
Yeah. We got Bear by Vogue pink tennis balls.
Spencer
Pink. Why not brown?
Joe
Oh, because brown doesn't look great.
Joanne McNally
Yeah.
Joe
Come on. Do you want a shitty tennis ball like no one wants?
Spencer
Point though.
Joanne McNally
No, he's right there. You can't fault him on that one. Now, as marketing. As. As Brandon goes, it should be brown.
Joe
Our branding is pink, okay? And we're not doing.
Joanne McNally
It would look like people were just hitting fecal matter across the court for the day. On balls, it doesn't look good, but on women, it looks great.
Joe
I had to change my whole outfit for women because I had this gorgeous, like, neon. You know, those Serena boot dresses, and it was so neon yellow. And Spenny was like, I love it, but you'll. At Wimbledon, you'll look like a tennis ball. And I actually had to. I was like, you're dead right. I can't wear that to Wimbledon.
Joanne McNally
Yeah. I'll never forget one of the funniest stories you tell me about Spencer and we do. We do love. We do love his stories. Was when. Do you remember the year that he went into Wimbledon and bought the. Bought the entire costume from the Wimbledon shop?
Joe
This is how awful rumors start.
Joanne McNally
Did he not do that?
Joe
No,
Joanne McNally
he's not dressed like a ball boy. What happened?
Joe
I thought that's what happened. It's kind of along the lines. It's along the line. Spenny basically invited one of his friends to Wimbledon and he was like, oh, great. It's going to be such a lovely day to go to. And then his friend. You. The friend. That's a friend.
Joanne McNally
Sorry, I thought it was Spencer. I just enjoyed that version more, so I just made it happen in my head.
Joe
Well, I think it works better. The friend went into Ralph Lauren when Ralph Lauren were, like, sponsoring Wimbledon, and he basically bought the Wimbledon statue. That's like the mannequin. He bought the mannequin. And Spenny was like, you can't. Like, it was too late. He was. He was at Wimbledon when he saw him, and he was like, please. Like, I can't go. Right? This is secondhand embarrassment for me that I'm going around with you. Like, you're dress in their uniform. How did nobody tell you? I think the people in Ralph around
Joanne McNally
were like, well, someone has to wear. Why are they selling it?
Joe
Who.
Joanne McNally
Who's buying it?
Joe
I don't know. I don't know. I mean. And I wouldn't have been cheap in there. I would have been waiting for cast offs. I'll get the cast off.
Joanne McNally
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
Well, anyway, I'm glad you had a good day. And I did think I did feel Harry Styles was too much. I meant to go to Harry Styles today. I already turned down my ticket and it was with a friend of mine and to say I deeply regret it. And he's texting me and he's like, I'm gonna send you pictures later. And I'm like, don't, because I will block you. I'll block you.
Joanne McNally
Yeah, well, the. The party of people that went when I lost the stamina in the day said it was absolutely brilliant.
Joe
I'm trying to think, who in that party is getting you a ticket? Let me see.
Joanne McNally
I missed out. Whatever. I. I've rescheduled and I understand how I am lucky. I don't sound like a sport, but obviously with someone. Obviously.
Joe
What time did you take? We want to know what time did you say? Oh, no, I couldn't.
Spencer
How's it obvious? When did you.
Joe
Let's guess. Let's play a guessing game. Don't tell us. Oh, 2:30. 2:30.
Joanne McNally
Well, the day was. It was an early start and we wanted to be in for Shania and also obviously with the crowds and the queues and stuff. So the arrangement was to meet in. In around the Wembley area at 5, which is quite early, really. Yeah.
Spencer
You were planning to work in a
Joe
NASCAR as well, weren't you?
Joanne McNally
Well, I mean, once I realized the napping wasn't. Yeah, I know it was. I. I had unrealistic expectations of the day. Okay. I held my hands up and say, I. I miss. I misread the day.
Joe
Get your time, Joe. Guess your time.
Spencer
I think so. She was.
Joanne McNally
I'll check my phone.
Spencer
30, I think she was at Wimbledon at one. I think by half past one. I think she won.
Joe
She already called it at half one?
Spencer
No, because I got a check and someone told her five o' clock and
Joe
she went, hey, listeners, get your time in your heads. Get your time in your heads. When did she pull it? Oh, it was bad.
Joanne McNally
I don't know. I don't know how. I don't know if this makes me. I don't know how bad this makes me look. I'm, I'm worried about reputational damage.
Joe
It's on the way.

Joanne McNally
I'm trying to, just trying to figure out if this is in my interest to share this.
Joe
How bad can it be? It can't be that bad. Don't tell me it was midday.
Joanne McNally
No, no, it was actually, I, it was, it was later than that. It was quite late. It was, it was around the five o' clock. Mark.
Joe
Around the meeting Mark.
Joanne McNally
Yes.
Spencer
Yeah. Oh, I'm not gonna make it.
Joanne McNally
Yeah, well, I think they were due about half. I've, I think I started trying to make calls at around half four. Yeah, I just knew. And I, and I, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm allergic to, I'm a, I'm, I, I, I'm a yes woman and I hate, I hate any sort of confrontation. So I'm. Obviously, when I decide I can't do something, I can't make it work. I then, even though I know what I'm going to do, I then have to build myself up to saying I'm not going. And then I just feel, I feel just. I let the shame flow around my body for a solid hour and a half to two hours before I actually just bite the bullet and make the call.
Joe
It's awful. Joanne McNally, you're not a, you are not a yes person. What you are is a person who's not late is what I will say. Yeah. And everyone. I say that like, I don't believe that. And I'm like, no, I swear to God, she's never.
Joanne McNally
Very punctual.
Joe
Very punctual.
Joanne McNally
One of my strangest traits.
Joe
I don't want, I'm not showing off, but I feel like when we talk about Harry Styles, I should probably bring up that time he spoke about me in an interview. What? Yeah, yeah.
Joanne McNally
Are you sure he wasn't saying it? Joined the magazine.
Joe
No, no, John, actually, he was referring to my ex husband's current partner and that wasn't me at the time in the magazine, they asked him who he would like to go on a date with and he said my ex husband's name. He said her, his girlfriend and it was me.
Joanne McNally
Are you actually taking the piss?
Joe
Yeah, so I feel like no.
Joanne McNally
So you just said yes, you are taking the piss or no?
Joe
I'm not taking the piss.
Joanne McNally
Well, you said yes, which was confusing.
Joe
So what I'm saying is Harry Styles is madly enough of me.
Joanne McNally
Sorry. So how on earth have you not dropped up Clanger before?
Joe
I'm sure I have. I'm sure I've brought it up quite a few times.
Joanne McNally
Never in my life.
Joe
Have you never read that, Joe.
Grainger Advertiser
No.
Spencer
Joe, is that in print?
Joe
It was in print, yeah.
Spencer
Are you looking at calling you a liar? I'm not, but I'm saying.
Joe
Well, don't you dare. It was.
Spencer
It was out there, we'd be able to find it.
Joanne McNally
You do have a habit of.
Joe
I don't lie about people saying nice things about me.
Spencer
Are you embellishing, Joe?
Joe
I didn't embellish it at all. I had to bring him up. My ex husband, he didn't even know my actual name. He just knew I existed. That's all I need from Harry.
Spencer
I have just asked Chat GPT and it says it doesn't have any record of Harry Stars ever having mentioned you.
Joanne McNally
Well, by name.
Joe
He doesn't mention me by name. I told you.
Spencer
Fine.
Joanne McNally
Well, listen, I'm going to get my interest.
Joe
Dare you, Joe.
Spencer
Well, we got a fact check. It's my job.
Joanne McNally
Like so folks, sometimes you'll tell a story and then when we're, when the joke comes to a natural end, you'll just keep going. And then we, we get really confused as to whether it's a true story or not. And you just keep saying it's true and it's clearly not true. And then me and Joe get really confused.
Joe
No.
Joanne McNally
And then we have to start a separate WhatsApp group to try and figure out what's happening.
Joe
So as much as you're never late, I never lie. I can't do it.
Joanne McNally
Yeah, everyone lies. Everyone.
Joe
I. I would say I lie. Probably the least of everybody. I'm terror. I can't. I can't even like. I can't even like break rules. I just. There's just this annoying thing in me that I just can't do it. Anyway, I think you need to be
Joanne McNally
really careful saying this out loud because the people who are into Harry Styles, anyone he fancies, they try to assassinate.
Spencer
Yeah.
Joanne McNally
So I would keep this Information. Well, on the podcast.
Joe
Are they still at that though, do they not? Like his new, his new, his fiance?
Joanne McNally
I think maybe the Harry Styles, his audience have grown up with him and they're not quite as fanatically mad as maybe people were at the start. They've kind of gotten a bit used to them now and yeah, they probably
Joe
know that, like their chances that Harry are low.
Joanne McNally
Well, when I, when I, when I meet Harry on Saturday, I'll, I'll tell him, tell them that I'm like, I
Joe
think, you know, but willing.
Joanne McNally
You're obsessed with my podcast wife. Sorry, Zoe. This is awkward for all of us.
Joe
Zoe, I know you're standing.
Joanne McNally
He said what he said. He said what he said.
Joe
He's harbored those feelings for many years. Many, many years.
Spencer
Yeah, those words were binding.
Joe
Yeah, they were fine. Well, they were for me. They were for me. And if I have to get rid of Spano, I will.
Joanne McNally
I'm thrilled for you. I, I just, I, I, I'm in awe of the amount of male attention you get publicly. I had a DM from a guy last week who was a teacher from Leash. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.
Joe
Joanne, we're talking like, we're talking. This is like 12 years ago. This is about the four kids. The four ruined me.
Joanne McNally
Doesn't matter.
Joe
Well, I can collect all these things.
Joanne McNally
Yeah, you have that in your arsenal, Brian.
Joe
I'm in.
Joanne McNally
FYI, Friday the 17th of July. I'm going to be an Exeter.
Joe
Jesus. That's a random one.
Joanne McNally
Powder Ham Castle.
Spencer
Wow.
Joanne McNally
Stunning Powder Ham castle, Friday the 17th. If anyone's swinging around that area with their, with a bit of free time, pop in. I'll be there doing jokes. Let's have an email.
Joe
I love the POD and all the advice. Have never been motivated to write in before, but I was screaming, crying, kicking my feet during the advice to the girl who blocked the loser. Michael Jackson, Farage lover. I know it's technically mean to run out on someone and block them, but oh my God, these men. If the roles were reversed, they would absolutely not hesitate to do whatever they wanted in the situation without a care in the world or a millisecond of thought as to how the other person might feel. Okay, I can understand that. But also, two wrongs don't make a right. Men are so used to having their feelings be thought of as a default that I think it's a brave and genre changing dynamic to just nope out on them. Look at all those losers. Love bombing women and Then ghosting them. Katie Price. Justice for Joanne. And anyway, love you and always agree with the nuance takes, but in this situation, say long Queen. That guy is a loser. He lost Good Rich. No regrets, as they say.
Grainger Advertiser 2
Yeah.
Joe
P.S. joanne, I have my tickets for two of your three nights in San Francisco. Rest assured, I'm counting the day, spreading the word, firing the town, stocking up in the pinot.
Joanne McNally
Thank you.
Joe
Etc.
Joanne McNally
Thank you so much. So, because she's bought tickets, I'm just going to say I agree with everything she says.
Joe
Yeah. Because I have just said that I love following rules and I don't lie and stuff to people. I would disagree. I don't think that, like, if someone. If you think there's a possibility of someone being a dick to you, you should be addicted, then I think just to be kind of like. I think just a general level of soundness amongst us all could. Could take us a long way.
Joanne McNally
I just know. I know myself. I am quite a porous person. I'm porous. So I take on things as we all do. I mean, like, I'm not saying this is anything unique about me, but I am porous and I probably am too sympathetic to sometimes the. The male plight. If I'm with the guy. I can kind of be a bit too, Too, too sound. Actually, I think certain. Certain occasions coming to mind there. And I just know myself, I wouldn't.
Spencer
I wouldn't walk out.
Joanne McNally
And that's all I can say. Unless, like. Unless I was like, at the bar asking for Angela because I was like, this guy's an absolute nut job. But, like, with just a difference of opinion like that. I don't. I wouldn't.
Joe
If we could all. And I know not everybody does it, but if we just have a general. Yeah. If we could all just.
Joanne McNally
All right, John. Yeah.
Joe
Stop fighting.
Joanne McNally
Yoko Ono over there.
Joe
Do you know what I think? What? I think when I got ghosted that time, like, it really me off so much that I was like, I'll never do that to somebody. Like, because I remember how I felt and for how long I felt. And I was like, for something as simple as to just say, don't abuse you anymore, instead of just disappearing and making someone feel like for that long. I just. I just would never do. I just wouldn't want to be the cause of making someone feel like that.
Joanne McNally
I went, yeah, I understand. We are all a product of our own experiences. I where I was in a relationship ages ago and it ended really badly. And he was like, please don't. Just please don't block me. And I would have been well within my rights to block him, but I didn't because I felt. I don't. I felt bad for him, which I'm like, joanne, hop on. But I didn't because I. Because I'd had that happen to me and then I. I knew how. How hard it was to get over it. So I just wouldn't do it. Anyway, look, maybe we're just. Maybe just turned into two male apologists to go to Wimbledon.
Joe
I don't know. We certainly don't go to Harry Styles ourselves.
Joanne McNally
And I know he was obsessed with you. I would have contacted him directly for tickets.
Joe
I have. He's actually doing a matinee just for me. On a Saturday morning? Yes.
Joanne McNally
Performing at Gigi's birthday party.
Joe
Yeah. How did you know? I guess don't start telling everyone showing up.
Joanne McNally
He told me. We're thick as thieves.

| Time | Segment/Theme | |-----------|----------------------------------------------------| | 00:54 | Social plans, Gigi’s party, aunt antics | | 01:55 | Being “right” as relationship pleasure | | 02:56 | Joanne’s stacked social calendar | | 04:55 | Wimbledon privilege & etiquette, caviar jokes | | 08:01 | Absurd branding: pink tennis balls | | 11:01 | Day fatigue, shame about bailing on plans | | 12:39 | Admitting to bailing last minute | | 13:25 | Harry Styles story, truth vs embellishment | | 15:07 | Podcast dynamic & “never lying” claims | | 17:40 | Listener email: blocking men/ghosting | | 19:10 | Empathy, personal stories about being ghosted | | 21:08 | “Male apologists” and self-owning humor |
This episode showcases Joanne and Vogue’s classic dynamic—honest, chaotic, and hilariously self-aware—as they reflect on the ridiculousness of their social lives, the ethics of bailing and ghosting, and what it means to do “the right thing” (or just whatever feels good in the moment). Audience feedback and personal anecdotes keep it rooted in the real world, even when the stories veer into the fantastical.
