Notable examples

Michelle recounts being on British time during Australia work; Azealia Banks criticizing Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter,” plus feuds (Ireland insult; Conor McGregor interaction; Russell Crowe hotel incident). Listener asks how to keep going after “professional rejection” at 39.

0:32Joanne McNally:This is a Global Player original podcast.

0:40Joanne McNally:Welcome to the bonus episode of My Terpest Goes To Me with me, Joanne McNally. And she's back.

0:46Michelle De Swarte:Yeah, baby.

0:47Joanne McNally:Michelle De Swart, she's here again. Hello. Hello. Salutations. I, just to be clear, we're double recording this because Michelle's a busy bitch. so we haven't seen any more of Vogue's jungle's story.

1:01Michelle De Swarte:No, but my God, we've got a lot to go on. Do you know what I mean? We've got a lot to go on. She's arrived. She's had shit chucked at her. It has been horrific to watch. But she's keeping a smile on her face.

1:15Joanne McNally:She is. I was going to go on the Lorraine. I was going to go on Lorraine to help, I don't know, like rally, but I couldn't do it in the end.

1:21Michelle De Swarte:Are you going to go and meet her from the jungle? I'd love to.

1:24Joanne McNally:You've got to. I can't. Why not? Because I'm on tour. the bridge thing is a real issue because the person who meets you off the bridge has to be free to go out to Australia for two weeks so like most people can't do that so that's why you see a lot of these celebrities being met by their managers and all, you know what I mean? So you know what right, this is something they also don't tell you

1:43Michelle De Swarte:when you go out there, because you know I did the panel years ago because Jack Osborne had swine flu right, so what they don't tell you is if you're on the panel doing anything like that that isn't in the jungle they keep you on British time They keep you on British time. Girl, you are waking up at like the morning and you're having a steak and mash. You're having lasagna for breakfast. Like they keep you on British time.

2:07Joanne McNally:It's mental. I remember I was down to the last couple of people to get the voiceover for Love Island Australia. Random. Yeah. And then I didn't get it in the end. And Stephen Mullen, who did get it, then COVID happened. Because usually you fly out to Australia. They make you fly out to do it. Yeah. for voiceover yeah before Covid anyway yeah you had to fly out yeah

2:27Michelle De Swarte:no one tell him yeah yeah I've got to be there in person yeah I'll bring my mic with me but I think loads of people

2:35Joanne McNally:they would like I was like oh yeah that'd be like I was kind of wanted to go out but anyway Covid happened and he was in a hotel room but he was on Australian time he was on his own in a hotel room and I was like I'm actually so glad I didn't get that job

2:47Michelle De Swarte:that sounds shit crack yeah

2:49Joanne McNally:shit crack

2:50Michelle De Swarte:yeah I went for them two days like I went to the gig one gig over my birthday last month and I was like I came back and I was spun out the fuck like massively yeah but voiceover's great man I know I love it I'm the voice of Deliveroo it's my favourite job yeah

3:06Joanne McNally:it's easy because you're just in and out you can look like a bag of shit if you want no one cares they prefer they prefer yeah but it does get monotonous do you ever do so much voiceover work I remember when I did the voiceover when I was doing the VO for the Furby podcast and I was like I actually don't even know how I sound or speak anymore. When you speak so much, you kind of lose how your words are coming out of your mouth.

3:29Michelle De Swarte:I'm always shocked when I hear the adverts come on. Like, I'm like, wow. Yeah. That is not how I think I sound. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? But I've got to say as well, being hungover and hearing your own voice say that you should get a burger and chips is... Enticing. Ah, solid. Yeah. But it feels like an intervention from God. You're just like, I guess I should then. Wait, you wanted to chat about Azealia Banks. Why? you sent me you sent me just a a WhatsApp going Azalia Banks and I was like

3:55Joanne McNally:what well so when I was doing the I was doing I'm doing a lot of press at the moment because I'm doing I'm I've got

4:02Michelle De Swarte:a fucking arena put that up you fucking fanny hole shut the fuck up don't ever question me an arena I know

4:10Joanne McNally:you know yourself it's a bit I am

4:11Michelle De Swarte:no I don't know myself I'm trying to shift the bloody 300 seater in Swindon you're like you know yourself you've a load of

4:17Joanne McNally:London shows gone yeah you do know also Also, Michelle was on RuPaul's Drag Race. So anyway, I was doing this and, you know, the radio station comes down and you're like talking and talking. And I came out and I was like, I'm so paranoid that I said something, anything about, because a lot, you're like, because I was saying, oh, you know, I'm ready in time and I've, you know, it would be harder if you kind of blew up online and then you're doing big rooms and you're not necessarily ready.

4:40Michelle De Swarte:But you've put the work in. You know your craft. Well, the stage time is there.

4:43Joanne McNally:Anyway, then after you're like, oh my God, fuck, have I pissed off like anyone? I didn't mean it. And blah, blah, blah. Anyway, the head's spinning. and ruminating, blah, blah, blah. Then I was thinking about Azeel. This is what I texted you. I was thinking about Azeelia Banks and the amount, like, I'm very conflict averse. She is conflict gagging for it. There is no stopping her. She'll do mental tweets. She told Ireland, she did a tweet about Ireland and called us all ugly leprechauns, like the whole country. Do you remember that? No. And then she had that weird interaction with Conor McGregor where she asked him to back her up and then it turns out they were sexing each other anyway.

5:16Michelle De Swarte:Do you remember when she said that Russell came, Russell Crowe flobbed on her in a hotel room what? no he spat on her in a hotel room what? and I think RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan took her and he was like after they were like is this true and he was like no it's not I took her with me it ended up being crazy this is what I love about Azealia Banks yeah she said some absolutely horrendous stuff to everybody yeah I'm actually getting the article up and and and she is forgiven right she listen is she though? well listen she said the f-word about um uh gay men and she then still headlines i think it was like some sort of gay pride in my mind or whatever basically azealia banks kind of take her as a pinch of salt she's very like inflammatory i guess and i also feel with azealia banks she's massively talented and like i feel like azealia banks um uh ran so doge could walk yeah they're very similar but you know what I mean like as in like across genres of music can both sing also killer lyricists but Azealia Banks is just like everything's going well and then she's like I'm going to blow up this I'm going to napalm my life right now is she self-sabotaging is that what she's up to she is she's unfiltered she's got she's got the Kanye Twitter fingers at the ready yeah she does yeah

6:39Joanne McNally:Banks' penchant for conflict nearly eclipses her bars in the years since her first mixtape dropped in 2012 if one thing she's actually becoming known for her endless list of feuds on and off social media. She hopped, in March 2024, Banks hopped on Instagram to critique the cover and title of Beyonce's album, Cowboy Carter. Despite Beyonce herself explaining the meaning behind the project and why she decided to make an entire album in a genre she's only previously dabbled in, Banks weighed in with a litany of assumptions and criticisms, ranging from a lack of creativity

7:11Michelle De Swarte:to outright ignorance. Listen, Azealia Banks here. Azealia Banks talks the way you chat with your friend after two bottles of wine. Big time, privately. She wakes up in the morning, she brushes her teeth, and she's like, I'm going to get on a public forum and let people know how I really feel. You're like,

7:26Joanne McNally:baby, baby. That could stick in the... That's for the notes. Yeah, but now... Azzelia. Yeah, now it's part of her brand.

7:33Michelle De Swarte:Do you know what I mean? I know, it kind of is. Yeah, she's going to fuck shit up.

7:35Joanne McNally:Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I love it. She's a disruptor, as they say.

7:37Michelle De Swarte:Yeah, exactly.

7:39Joanne McNally:I saw it out. She had a glass to be in. It was next level. Oh, she's phenomenal. Yeah. phenomenal she made everyone else

7:46Michelle De Swarte:look like they were

7:46Joanne McNally:ringing it in

7:47Michelle De Swarte:to be honest this is what I say about press runs right because I've done a few and I reckon like when you're chatting to the press take your time there's journalists have got a really good way of staying quiet and us as public speakers want to fill that time we're like oh there's an awkward silence I must fill it with talking gibberish and then before you know it you're like oh I've got a stinky fanny and I've got a spoiler on the bottom of my back and you're like what the fuck am I saying

8:12Joanne McNally:do you know what I mean It's like a therapy session. That's why therapists stay quiet to make you admit that you've got all this shit that you don't have.

8:19Michelle De Swarte:Exactly. So I always think, let the awkward silence sit. And if you're ever, because I had to do some press training, which HBO paid for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Media training. Go on. Yeah, because you're going on a big press run. So they're like, make sure you know how to handle this situation. And I had to sit with someone from, like, who trains you in press. and he was like, if you're asked a question that you're not sure if you want to answer, have a sip of water. Just like, let the silence sit there. And that's why I say it, us as public speakers, we're like, silence, no. Yeah, I know. I will kryptonite, this is kryptonite to me.

8:55Michelle De Swarte:I'm going to keep on talking. And it's like, you don't need to. You can let silence sit in the air. Yeah.

9:05Michelle De Swarte:Listen, Joanne's doing Arena, good for her. now I've got some tickets to bloody shift okay well I'm going all around the UK Swindon, Exeter Farnham wherever the fuck that is listen right this is I'm telling look Joanne's doing arenas I just need 300 of you to turn up to Exeter that's it a humble a humble 300 as you will as you will Joanne needs about 30 ,000 to come

9:53Michelle De Swarte:how it feels here putting on a show whatever the size it feels like you know when you have a birthday party and like you're the you're the first mate to turn up to the party and you're like You can see your friends stressing a bit, but you've turned up on time.

11:02Joanne McNally:Michelle, we'd like to see you in an email. Yeah Yeah Can't wait Okay so Hello Joanne and Vogue In brackets Michelle I love listening to you both because you give sound advice I'm 39 and it feels like my life has hit reverse Not just a gentle rollback More like full on formula one backwards I'm job hunting day in and day out And I'm not getting anywhere I'm mentally done in from applying for jobs Doing interviews and getting rejection after rejection oh it's professional rejection if there was an Oscars for most rejected woman I'd win it I know all the sayings what's for you won't pass you by trust the timing blah blah blah but honestly oh god love her some days I want to throw my laptop on the floor and say fuck this for the crack have either of you ever gone through a phase where nothing goes right how did you keep going what did you tell yourselves when everything felt pointless at this stage I'm tired of my own pep talks I nearly could nearly give myself the ick keep up the good work

12:04Michelle De Swarte:fucking hell right have I got some bloody advice for you because 39 is an absolute Babylon section of life like it is so just to make you feel better listener writer in a reader Anon Anon is me so I moved back to London at 39 I didn't have I had two suitcases and had zero career I think something happens and I ended up writing a show about it it's spent right But this is my advice to you would be don't stress too much. You're going to have to take some gambles on yourself. You're probably trying to play a bit too safe because you want to stay on the side of caution. But if you've already fucked your life beyond recognition, who gives a shit at this point?

12:49Michelle De Swarte:It's going to need a big change. You're going to have to dash some chips on the table and make some bets on yourself. And also what I would say and now listen, I fucking hate to say this, but when everything is in disarray, Stop drinking for a little while. Yeah. You can drink again. All right? I'm back on the sauce. But have a little time off until you get your shit in order. Like, you're going to just have to make some big changes and big sacrifices and just be like, fuck it. But me at 39, I was staying at my sister's house in my niece's old single bed that still had graffiti written on the wall from when my niece was a teenager.

13:24Michelle De Swarte:My brother, I turned 40 in that bed. And I remember being like, no fucking way. I was so raging about my situation. It was highly motivating.

13:34Joanne McNally:Do you know what I was rejected at the most by was, it wasn't professional direction. When I first got to London, I bumped into a lot of people in auditions and whatever it is. And they knew I was new to London. And I had no mates. I hadn't had the great joy of you yet. And me and Vogue were friendly. Me and Vogue obviously were mates, but she was kind of all I had. And people would say to me, oh, do you want to meet? I'll meet you for a coffee let me know if you want to meet for a coffee and then when I actually asked them to do it not a single one of them came back do you know the only one who came back was Roisin Conaty yeah she's solid she's solid isn't she so I know what it's like it's shit and you question yourself you're like oh blah blah blah but you just have to stick with it because you gotta roll with the punches yeah

14:18Michelle De Swarte:and I really think we live in a world now where like you're just disillusioned because you see the end result of everything you're just like oh look what they're doing look what they're doing yeah get off social media for a little bit go bloody gym start a routine this is baby steps it's fucking boring it's monotonous but like if you start tapping in too much to what other people are doing you're gonna free fall and start losing your shit so it's like yeah this is rubbish anytime you open up your phone everyone's killing the game they're fucking on jet skis you know i mean in bloody dubai with a falcon on their arm like just don't like just don't don't get too caught up in it you've got to start like a routine and be consistent with it so whether that's going gym and looking after yourself taking all the vitamins and laying off the sauce that's what i would say and just tell yourself that like this is what you're fucking doing because that's the reality but when i tell you there's so many women i know that like just before 40 everything goes to fucking shit and you have a whole identity crisis because you're like i'm a bougie bitch why am i living so poor this does not align with who i see myself as and it's just a big identity shift and it's fucking terrible.

15:25Michelle De Swarte:But like, babes, do you know what I mean? You gotta trust the process of life. It's fucking long, but like, all we see is the end results. All we see is the end results and it's like, it takes baby steps to make shit happen. Do you know what I mean? So, yeah, that and like, that's what I'd say. Perfect. Yeah, she smashed it. No, but it's true though, isn't it? Oh, it's totally true. The 39 will fuck, will fuck with your brain. It is,

15:49Joanne McNally:because you do feel, I was actually, I think I have.

15:52Michelle De Swarte:Because you think you're so old. It's like I was chatting to one of my support ladies, because they're all in their 20s. And she was like, I'm 27. I'm really going through it. And I was like, babes, 27 is a really hard year because you haven't hit 30 yet. You feel older at 27 than you do at 31. And it's like one of them big changes where like when you hit your 30s, you're like, oh, this is the teenage years of adulthood. And I think when you hit your 40s, when it finally comes, you're like, oh, OK, really? I'm a proper adult now. There's no one to blame. this happened to my childhood and my mum was in no one gives a shit no one fucking cares anymore and there's a certain piece in that 100 %

16:27Joanne McNally:I had my turning I had my little midlife crisis and I wouldn't even call it a crisis when I turned 30 when I turned 40 I was like I'm good to go because I kind of had my little mental breakdown in my early 30s got my shit together and like I'm in a good place so turning 40 to me was fine but I know for a lot of people turning 40 it's a big time for a reflection where am I where am I going what have I done but like 40 is the new 20 yeah but mate

16:53Michelle De Swarte:being broke at 40 is different yeah do you know what I mean especially especially if you're straight oh oh gross terrible disgusting why strange well because I think if you're straight and you're on and you're single if you're on any apps the second that 40 hits your hits your like dating profile and that age comes up you're in a different bracket people think you're on some jizzy supermarket sweep and you're trying to get pregnant or like you want something from them and like yeah you do their soul but that's beside the point you know what I'm saying beside the point also were you talking about relationships yeah I just mean like 40 just does something like if you're single if you're straight if you're it's a little bit harder because you're going through like the norms of society as well you know what I mean your reflection is that so you're like I'm gonna deal with myself I ain't got any kids I ain't married but like

17:44Joanne McNally:we about know that it's like that's kind of what paedophile's about to be honest it's like the reality check of actually what that's packaged as is no longer when you get to your 40s you look back at the package that was sold to you in your 20s for what you're supposed to be doing and you realise it's a load of bollocks yeah look at us living our best lives yeah kind of yeah

18:05Michelle De Swarte:I never had that package so I was just like whatever no one was like no one expected me to do that

18:10Joanne McNally:I wasn't like being I wasn't like being forced I wasn't like being forced down the aisle I wasn't being trafficked or anything but it was like that was just what the women around me they were all

18:18Michelle De Swarte:can you imagine if you wish traffic then you're still single. What a burn. What a fucking burn. They're like, they sent her back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're just like, nah, has this got a 30 day warranty? Too much stress. We've hung out and we're good.

18:34Joanne McNally:Michelle, thank you so much for coming in. Your gas, as always.

18:37Michelle De Swarte:It has been an absolute pleasure. I don't sound as excited as I am. Which is not that. No, no, genuinely.

Joanne, do you want to come for a picnic on the Common?
