Are we slagging Shania Twain?!

19:46I've decided to build into the neighbour's garden I've asked for no permission

19:52Joanne McNally:anyway Shania you looked fab and apparently she did a great job great job drop in the Shacklewell arms. And also, great promo for the Shacklewell. Shania Twain, Shacklewell. I bet she got changed in the toilets. I mean, she got a lot of press. Wow. That's why I think it's such a good idea. But I'm trying to figure out how I make it work for me in North America because I'm trying to sell 200 seaters. So I just don't know how small I can go to get press. 10 seaters. Aim high, 10 seaters. 10 seaters. That does look great. A bus stop. Yeah, Jerome McNally live from a bus stop in Salt Lake City. Do you know how she looks like that one from Selling Sunset Chrishell she looks like just a really hot woman yeah very attractive she's always been attractive do you ever hear the story about her Giroge used to do it in stand up but when she did the three arena well it was the point back in the day Shania and she was flying around the place because she wanted to fly so she put herself on strings and off she went something I'm considering doing myself I don't know why you don't fly I think that would be a really good idea I looked into flying but when she flew when she came back someone had stoned her she is.

20:55Stop. I suggest it. I say, go out. Maybe you take the hit in this and we shoot you out of a cannon. Shoot it up to the people with the restricted view. They'll get a real... They won't complain then. Just shooting friends and family out of a cannon.

21:09Joanne McNally:Shoot you up to the restricted view. Pat, come on! Next! Stack them and rock them!

21:20Did you watch the Formula 1 this weekend? No. Oh my god, I just... I love Formula One because I remember when I was younger, my dad used to always watch Formula One. And like, I'd go out in a bender and I'd come home and I'd be really quite fiery. So I would just lie in the sitting room with him and just like, I wouldn't watch it. I'd just hear the noise. Yeah, it would just make me feel really, I'd be like, oh God, this is nice. The fire would be on. I'm like, it's okay. It doesn't matter what you did yesterday. Forget about it. The Formula One's on. But I feel like it's having another moment.

21:46I feel like loads of people are, it used to be kind of an older man's sport. And now I feel like people are getting back into it. But I've liked it for my whole life. I love the noise of it. I think it's a really fun thing to watch on TV. But it was obviously in Monaco this weekend, which is an amazing one to go to. I once, this kind of freaked me out because you know when I remember things. So I remember I went to the Monaco Grand Prix. I used to DJ at the Grand Prix. I DJed Kuala Lumpur. I DJed Melbourne. I DJed Monaco. And then I remember and I felt really embarrassed about Monaco because I went with somebody and we went absolutely bananas.

22:25We were staying on a boat on the track. So staying on like a proper yacht in a room. Ended up getting absolutely deranged. Ended up on your man Flavio Briatore's yacht. He used to be, he's like this billionaire and he used to go out with Naomi Campbell. Why we were on the yacht, I don't know. I remember it was very strange. like it was really dark and loads of people were in all different corners and I was like this feels weird as to why we're here God I really wish we'd have been close back then I mean I feel like I've very much gotten the I know the pared down version like I could have been in Monaco She's in her purple dragon era

23:07Joanne McNally:What? She's in her purple dragon era She's in her purple dragon era You're so right Jo and then she's dangling stories about yachts in Monaco in front of us I only remembered, but anyway. Me-mah, she's like, do you want to come to Gigi's petting zoo? No! I want to go to Monaco and get fucked up on a yacht. I'm ashamed of this story. I feel really bad. So when you're in, like, they close all the roads, obviously, at a certain time in the morning. So, like, at 6 a.m., I'm, like, walking back across over to the yacht that I was staying on. I don't remember who owned it. And we were, it was with a brand.

23:45A part of the deal was that I was staying on this yacht, and it was really amazing. and we'd watch I was yachting we were watching qualifying which was the day before and then it was the day of the race which is the really exciting day but like I'd obviously stumbled in at like six or seven in the morning trying to get in before they closed the road didn't see the race didn't see the race I was so hungover I know I'm ashamed

24:06Joanne McNally:I thought sorry I thought this was going to be way worse I find that so embarrassing that somebody kindly invited me to stand on a yacht and watch the race and I couldn't even get out of bed you watched Formula 1 from a yacht. This is the beautiest thing I've ever heard. Do you know what I was thinking? Why has my life gone downhill so fast as well? What happened? I know, at least you had it. I never had that style. I had it. Where did it go? You got married and had kids. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sure there's married women with kids also getting deranged on yachts, but I mean you can't live that life forever.

24:45Joanne McNally:Also, So it was a job. Sadly, it's not your life. If it was, we wouldn't be filming this in the Pinot Pod Palace. We'd be filming it in your yacht in Monaco. I feel like it feels like, remember that time I said I didn't like flowers and then people stopped giving me flowers and I really didn't like it. Maybe because I had gone on the yacht and people thought I didn't like being on the yacht. Yes. So I would like to say that I liked it. Yeah. And I'd go back. She likes us. Please. She's a pro yacht podcast. Yeah, we're pro yacht. Yeah we're pro We are We're very much pro yacht And do you know what actually It was the first and only time I've ever stayed in a yacht And like it's not going to happen Very much in my life So I'm Maybe I should be happy That I just stayed in bed Did you shag anyone for a job I heard that's what goes on In those yachts No I had a partner at the time Who cares about them It doesn't matter Well I was You're on a yacht He was there all the time Apparently they used to hire Really hot actresses And they'd go out And kind of like Everyone would kind of Just have big orgies on the yacht Are we turning into We want to be boat girls I'd be a boat girl I don't know if I'd be good I don't think we'd be If it got me If it got me a couple of ticket sales And Salt Lake City I'd do it Listen I'll boat Yeah yeah I'm not saying This is no shade to you or I It's no shade I just think You have to be A classier girl To be a boat girl I don't think I think we're a bit blokey Sorry I've got extensions now Look we can't show up like this On a boat Like look at the state of us Come on We're not boat girls I'd wear my swimming tugs

26:11Oh my god High neck speedos With one of those hats I'd be in my swimming hat Yeah and a swimming hat

26:20Joanne McNally:I'd be ready like You know And my life jacket I'd be ready I'm honestly not just going to go Not prepared What's it called? The tender The tender Joanne's on the tender Sitting with her With her goggles and her hat on And my verica socks Ready to ride my way to the top Will you put the slide out please?

26:45Anyway You've actually You've actually The three tickets that had been sold for Solak City They've actually rescinded What I wanted to know about the Formula One Lewis Hamilton Kim Kardashian I love Kim Kardashian I smell Bullshit I don't believe it

27:03Joanne McNally:It's such whore shit Isn't it such shit? It's such bollocks It's such whore shit It actually annoys me It annoys me now That they think we're that stupid Yeah It annoys me I have not seen Like you see little The only like Kind of like Thing you see Of them Like touching each other Like it's very like It's like kissing your brother Or sister It would literally be like Me and you Jo Scoring in the stalls Of Wimbledon To get a pap shot It would be so obviously Not a thing They haven't even Done that properly though They've done like A peck on the lid It's like You'd be getting like If you're at the start Of a relationship You should be like You should be at least Down to the neck Swallow the whole head Down to the neck They're barely kissing Who in that industry comes out publicly with your boyfriend after three minutes?

27:46Joanne McNally:You don't. And they've been friends for years, supposedly. Sorry, do you remember? I saw him on Raya. Remember? Yeah. I mean, that isn't anything to do with the story. I'm just throwing it in there. We didn't match. We didn't match, but I feel like maybe he wanted to. I just said, it's not a career. You know, he'd be traveling all the time. That was our in for the yachts. That was our in. I think Lewis Hamilton I don't know what his deal is but I think it really and I was getting really worked up about it last night because they looked really smug and they're like oh look at the little people thinking we're in a relationship how much also that's what you do when you need press look at the little people look at the stupid little people thinking we're in a relationship and they're obsessed with us they're all taking photos of stupid little peasants that's what it feels like and also I am one of those peasants yeah obviously we are having a look that's what's so annoying about it but you can't stop yourself how much like usually those PR relationships are because you need PR.

28:42Joanne McNally:In what world does Kim K need any more press? We're probably legally required to say that all of these views are your own and that we have no evidence to back up the claims that you're making. I have evidence. I have a lack of evidence. Do you think Kim K is going to sue us for defamation? Your relationship's a lie, Kim. Lewis might. It is Lewis. Yeah, right. He's too busy picking his outfits for crazy. But what I did find interesting Interesting was Kim K, she's swanning around the Formula One, whatever, blowing kisses to Lewis, the whole thing absolutely reeks. But then this guy, Martin Brundle, who I was not familiar with.

29:20Ah, okay. This made me laugh. Martin Brundle is like, he is like the king of F1.

29:25Joanne McNally:Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like Kim K couldn't give a flying fandanga who Martin is. So Martin does these like impromptu interviews where he just goes up and obviously he's like, you know, he's kind of flexing his muscles and he thinks he's the man of the moment. if you're going to be on the grid and like you're you're famous enough for Martin Brundle to come up to you like you've got to give him a little bit of time like what's that other the footballer Mbepé nearly didn't didn't like talk to him because if you don't talk to Martin Brundle you're really like you've fucked yourself well she I mean well anyway the story is that Martin tried to talk to her and she she just kind of looked through him like the way that she does where she's just kind of looking around like she doesn't see him and then the security kind of pushed him away and he was like Like, normally people have a quick chat with us.

30:09Joanne McNally:Not our Kim. She just kept on going. And I was like, that's even more evidence that you're not going out with Lewis Hamilton. If you were, you'd understand the situation. You're just there to throw your weight around. But it made me laugh at Martin because I was like, that's, I'd say Martin was kind of humbled by that now, you know. I don't think he does get humbled. Just because someone walks past you. Like, imagine Hillary Clinton walked out the past there and was like, Hillary. Yeah, but Hillary Clinton is not, like, all dressed up for a grid walk at the Formula One. If you're going to do the grid walk, you've got to like God I'd be thrilled if Martin Brundle gave him to talk to me Martin Brundle would literally push me to the side did you see as well like hey Martin like what would she even say to him I don't think she would know even what team Lewis Hamilton's on yeah of course she'd be like go Reds go Reds you scored a goal listen I'm taking a bit I love her but remember I interviewed her like she's very specific about how she's interviewed and how she's looked at.

31:07So like she likes to be face on and like maybe Martin was going a bit to the side and she's kind of reached that stage in her career. But if they were together and if they spent a lot of time together, surely Lewis, knowing she's coming to the Grand Prix, would be like, by the way, you're going to, there's a fella called Martin Brundle. You should probably have a chat to him where everyone else, everyone would think you're a dick. Yeah, I know. No, no, no. They don't. This is all, it's faux news.

31:30Joanne McNally:Yeah. I'm so glad you think that. Martin had his ass handed to him. Oh yeah, it's absolutely, It's up there. Do you know what? It's up there. One of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Taylor Swift holding hands with Harry Styles back in the day. When I say it was like two cats holding hands. And they were papped walking around some park. And I was like, oh, here. Come on. Like there was just no sexual chemistry. She got lover. This was back before she kind of had a stylist and she was wearing like, you know, kind of like flat little pumps. A little pea coat. And a little bag across her front and kind of a long gray coat.

32:01Joanne McNally:and he was wearing, back when he, before he kind of popped and he was wearing his little Czech shirt and they were holding hands, kind of looking away from each other. Like, it was just, it was just so obvious. I think though, if you were going out with Harry Styles, you kind of would be embarrassed all the time because he's so dry. She'd be like, hello. No, this was like back before they, he hadn't really, there was no, he wasn't like Harry Styles.

32:29Sorry, I need to address. my spelling bee shame. Oh. Did you see the video? It was actually better than I expected. Better even than the way that you told it. And I was actually going to repost it and I thought I won't do that to her if she might get offended. It was remarkable. The spelling bee, so the story. I or, I or. To refresh.

32:54Joanne McNally:Sorry, I told the story of the podcast when I was in Australia. I did a TV show called Spelling Bee with Guy Montgomery and I had said in the podcast that I was like I found it hard I was a bit shocked and I couldn't spell Caterpillar and I was like There's a couple of things you couldn't spell But they have now shared the video with the caption Can the Irish spell? So leaving the whole national spelling ability You've dragged us all down with you Yeah, on me So of course the comments are popping off being like She's nothing to do with us Blah, blah, blah Of course, yeah I haven't looked at the comments Yeah I'm getting absolutely rinsed I'm like I'm not in charge of the entire nation's spelling abilities I'm so glad that she's I'm glad it's not me for once they're not saying mean things about me it's her she is she's dragging us down everyone someone was like do you not like read?

33:47Joanne McNally:question mark yes I do read I do read but nothing I've read of late had a caterpillar as a main character so I didn't I haven't seen that word written down in a very long time. And the woof thing, rough, they were like, what sound does a dog make spell rough? And I was completely thrown because we don't use that word rough for dogs. Rough to me is R-O-U-G-H. So I was like, I think you mean woof. And of course, I got that wrong as well. Much to the homerity. R-U-F-F. R-U-F-F, yeah. But again, what books am I reading with the word rough? That's a child's book. Do you know what? Anne Caterpillar is a child's book.

34:25So I actually think

34:25Joanne McNally:that was unfair. And I hadn't had the garden at that stage, so I wasn't familiar with Caterpillars again. Now, of course, I have two. I would see them. Do you reckon? I feel it's defamation. Yeah, I think you'd get a few bob out of them. Surely, can Joanne McNally spell would be a fairer caption than can Irish people spell. It was more the smugness. The smugness at the start. Yeah. I mean, we have the same language, okay? I actually have a degree in English, kind. Spell brown.

35:01Anyway, just the captions a lot and I do feel they could maybe tone it down. There's something that I was going to say to you that I'm surprised I'm bringing it up but I was so disgusted by it. Bonnie Blue and her golden baby shower. Do you know what? I was actually, last night I was writing my little notes and I said, do you know what? No, I'm actually not going to give her the time of day. And I actually said, I said, Joanna will love that now. I will have a little note. I said, I'm actually sick of her shit. Bonnie Blue. I'm not going to give her the time of day. But go on. Well, my baby shower is on Saturday and I'm a bit concerned that people are going to be disappointed.

35:35Or are you going to reveal a plastic bump? Well, nobody's going to piss on me. Yeah. Unless it's myself.

35:41Joanne McNally:Now, hasn't she since admitted it's all a fake pregnancy? There was a fake pregnancy before this pregnancy, but I think this pregnancy is actually a real pregnancy. I think this one is fake as well. Jo, can you fact check us there, please? Yeah. Jesus Christ, it's exhausting. She loves the pure. I've just put her down to being sociopathic. That's it. She's not well. No, she's not well. No, I think she's perfectly well. I don't think it's fair to call her sociopathic because sociopaths are extremely intelligent, like CEOs. No, she's not. She is. She's not on the level. I'm telling you, sociopaths.

36:15Joanne McNally:No, you're thinking of... Oh, I'm psychopath. Psychopaths, yeah. Sociopaths are just people who just don't have a lot of empathy for stuff. I mean, in fairness, they are the freer people. if you weren't burdened by how other people thought of you or cared I'd rather be a psychopath than a sociopath Really? Psychopaths are really intelligent Penny has a show coming out about psychopathy It's kind of fascinating to learn about them I wouldn't be thrilled if you were a psychopath Well I know people who are psychopaths that are really like I really admire them Not all psychopaths are murderers A lot of murderers are not psychopaths No I know Did you find out Jo?

36:54Joanne McNally:I'm going to ask ChatGPT. ChatGPT. Hello. Is Bonnie Blue's new pregnancy real or fake? Thank you. At the moment, nobody outside Bonnie Blue and her medical team can independently verify whether she's genuinely pregnant. She has a history of pregnancy publicity stunts, including a previous fake pregnancy claim that she later said. More recently, she's continued to insist that she's actually pregnant and has been posting photos and videos that some media outlets say appear consistent with the real pregnancy. Now I will say she does actually look like as in she looks pregnant she looks kind of like she's got fuller in her face and stuff do you know like sorry Bonnie if that's a mean thing to say I'm just trying to trying to figure out if you're pregnant or not but also like Bonnie fuck me Do I look fuller in the face?

37:37No Thank you Good save Jesus Christ I had to open the double doors to get you in Daddy pig oink You're using my facial spray that was full when you came in two squirts it's empty that's how big your head is

37:55that was full that was up to there

38:00okay will we end on our embalmer big time I'd love to okay so we basically were talking about embalming and how it could make you less aged and an embalmer got in touch over the last couple of weeks and we have been emailing her back and forth about some embalming bits and bobs and she has emailed us back I'm so excited Now I asked her a weird question It might be too dark to put in the pod But I was interested in it Her name is called Bryden Music And she is She's a folk artist She's based in Sligo And she's also an embalmer So here's some of the questions Do people actually get Still get embalmed in 2026?

38:42The majority of people in Ireland Are embalmed What? It's not an exclusive thing But we refer to it as modern embalming as we're not embalming like the Egyptians used to, which was to fully preserve the body. We embalm for temporary preservation. I think I'd like to be fully embalmed. Yeah. Like the Egyptians. That makes me less scared of death, I think, because then I know I'm not just going to rot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do some people last longer or look better than others? Depends on what stage of decay they're at when they begin embalming and also how concentrated the solution is. We should start embalming you now.

39:21Joanne McNally:Why me? Why do I have to die first? Well, just because if we get you now in the way that you are now, then you'll look better for longer. And I'll be ready to be laid out. Exactly. Okay, here is the... Do you remember I was talking about Amber Love and Kiss and dead people? Yeah. So, once you're embalmed and hygienically treated, you are totally free from any diseases, you are totally disinfected. The only problem which we saw during COVID is that your body then becomes a surface area where people touch and kiss and if they have the virus so like let's say someone kisses you when you're dead and they have the cold sore and then someone else kisses you when you're dead they might pick up the cold sore from your skin from the other person I've never had a cold sore in my life I dare you I know you might in death I dare you you might in death I've never had a cold sore in my life she said that she likes when we talk about death as well so there you go I want to know about like the weirdest weirdest thing she's embalmed I want to know she did say she's open to more questions Oh, Grant.

40:18Okay, fine, fine. This is a two-way thing now. Yeah, I'll give her a ring. Our weekly embalming section. Our weekly section on death wouldn't be too bad, you know. Do you know what? I think the more you talk about... My cousin's fiancée is a forensic pathologist. She finds out how people died. Sorry, do you know? Sorry, so was the woman who married that murderer. Yeah. On that Netflix... Wasn't she... Do you know Alan from RTE is a pathologist? He studied pathology for seven years. No, I didn't know that. Yeah, I find that fascinating that people have just had these other lives. Pathology, I don't just, I don't love death.

40:52Well, I was a carer in an Alzheimer's. Were you? I've had enough. Yeah. Did you ever work in Peor? I think you'd be good at it. Then I went into Peor and then I worked as a publicist, yeah. Yeah. I don't feel like I speak about my building site work enough. Will we do our recommendations? Yeah, let's do our recs. Okay, you go first. So there's a, now I'm not saying this and I suppose, I don't know why I have to say this. I knew this story before. I'd listen to a podcast on it. There's a podcast called Believe in Magic that I think the BBC Sounds did. But now Mother of All Cons, they've turned it into a documentary called Mother of All Cons on the BBC player, which I know is annoying because you can't get it in Ireland.

41:27But if you have a VPN, is it a VPN?

41:30Joanne McNally:A VPN, yeah. It's well worth a watch. It's about, it's one of my favourite topics, which is women pretending they have cancer. Okay. My recommendation is from an author called Charlotte Leonard her book is on pre-order I gave a quote for it because she asked me to read it and I loved it and I don't always give people quotes but it was such a brilliant book it's called One Little Lie and her Instagram is charlottelennard and you can pre-order it on there but it's out in the next three weeks and it's very good I have to say I really enjoyed it and also if people watch Mother of All Cons please email in and tell me what you think it is nuts it is a journey it is a Rowley-Powley rollercoaster.

42:16Well, thank you everyone for listening. Thank you for having us, Joanne. I just don't trust anyone anymore. Oh, I never did. I need people that I know for a long time.

42:24Joanne McNally:That's it. Hammersmith Apollo on sale now, December 16th. That was a great plug there. Thank you.
