Celebs BOYCOTT Met Gala, Free Bleeding & Nude Beaches 😳 | Vogue & AmberAdded:
This is a Global Player original podcast.
>> Get people to work through the night.
I'd work through the night cuz you probably get double time.
>> Please.
Can I have a bra? That's weird. What a weirdo. Oh, when are you? And they were like, I had the baby a month ago.
Oh, yeah. Amber's organizing my baby shower cuz she forgot about the last two. Emmo, your game sucks.
Oh, wow. Okay. I can't bear looking at Margaret Robbie. I can't bear it. She's honestly too pretty. It's just not right.
Hello and welcome to Vogue and Amber the podcast. This is a main episode. Oh my god, here we are again. I always think Amber looks like she shouldn't be caught outside of school when she's wearing those glasses. These are your glasses.
>> I know they don't look like that on me.
You look like dangerous around playgrounds.
>> Vogue, you can't say stuff like that.
>> She started. She's like, "Can I touch your boobies so I can push it because it's squishy?" And then she's like, "I want booby pads. Pink booby pads for my birthday."
>> Oh, for God's sake.
>> I said, "No, Gigi, you ain't getting no pink booby pads. We've spoken about this. Wait till she sees mine. If she's boob obsessed, don't let emo around her.
Jesus, she'll have a [ __ ] field day.
But I bought her a swimsuit in Spain spawn for uh for uh just in the summer when we were there. And there was boob pads in it and then she loved it, but I didn't see the boob pods. So when I saw the boob pods, I took the boob pads out and then she flat out refused to wear it.
>> Well, flat being the operative word there. Um, lots of I saw actually a video on social and a mother was giving out about in how inappropriate it is that they put um the Oh my god, what am I trying to say? What is it called? The padding in for children. And I would agree it is inappropriate. I was bloody desperate to get a bra. I forced mom into Da's boutique to get me a bra. I mean, the AA wouldn't even fit me. Like 28 AA is where I started. And I was like, "Please, can I have a bra?" Amber's just swaming around with her [ __ ] ball as shoving them in my face. Ah, they came. They took a while to come on, but Jesus, when they did, holy god.
>> I know. I saw Amber Bloom and I was like, "Oh, I'll be next. I'll be next."
And I still still say that.
>> Excitement when I got my period because I got my period like a year or two, probably two years, if not three after all my friends. Hallelujah.
>> Did you When did you get yours? What age were you?
>> They're 15. 15?
>> I was I was 16. Maybe 14.
>> Oh my god. What the [ __ ] is wrong with me? Maybe that's why my boobs haven't popped up yet.
>> When did you get yours?
>> I think I was either 13 or 14.
>> I think I was 16. And I was so excited I couldn't stop changing my pad.
>> In, out, in, out. Sorry, girls. I've just got to go change my pad again.
>> I remember. It's a core memory for me.
You know the way they say you have these core memories where you remember where you were when something significant happened. I remember we were in Dublin airport on our way to Portugal. I like Neil, can I BUY YOUR PHONE? I have to call the girls.
I got my period. Or mom used to say, "Have you got your friend?" You didn't say that in front of Neil. You didn't tell Neil.
>> Vogue. It was a huge life-changing experience. Everyone, >> you told Neil, you said, "Neil, I need to ring my friends. I got my period. I have to tell him."
>> He knew already. I had no clue what was bloody going on.
>> It's like when my boobs started growing, I didn't know what was going on. I was like, "Mom, there's something wrong with my nipples." Embi, your boobs are growing.
The 15year-old little bloke.
It actually probably would have made more sense for me not to get boobs, >> do you know?
>> Oh god. No, you need them in your line of choice.
>> No, not necessarily.
Ah, come on. Spveny loves saying, "Oh, no. I I love bums. Your bum is lovely."
I'm like, "Yeah, because you've no bloody choice."
Now he's like, "Look at your new boobs.
I've got honestly I was going to take my boobs into now I'm not advocating for plastic surgery for anyone but it was just a thought that ran through my mind.
I said I could take these boobs into a plastic surgeon and say these are the ones this is what I'd like this size just like not too big just a suggestion of a tit you know it'd be nice. I hope they're not that small but it's not giving out. It's like if you have curly hair you want straight hair. You hear me? Do you feed me?
>> I do. I feel you >> girls. Back to periods. Has anyone seen this?
Amber, I think you should start freebladed.
>> Absolutely not. Actually, we've said bloody so many times actually up until this point. No way, Jose. I did.
>> Have you heard of it? You did free bleed.
>> When you when you first get your period, you obviously just use pads and Well, some people stick with pads.
>> Oh, no. Emo. Emo. Are you a pter? Oh, no. Oh, I'm a cuppper, baby.
>> Oh, yeah. Emma, Emma's a cuppper. She's got hairy armpits, too.
>> Nothing wrong with that. Each their own.
But like my issue with the cups, and I've said this before, how do you deal with it in a public I'm going to sound like an American in a public restroom?
>> Well, you need to change them so infrequently that I never really need to do that. Like, how often? Like I change it in the morning and I change it in the evening and that's it.
>> Oh my god.
>> Yeah.
>> You see when I when mine was that's why I got the coil.
>> I keep forgetting you've got the coil.
>> Thanks.
Well, I'm sorry. I don't remember that you had the coil. Like it's not something I think of on a day-to-day.
Jesus, Amber has the coil. Well, I got it because of the pain and everything that I had. Like one stage. Remember I robbed those nappies that you had? Lady nappies? It's not funny. I used to have to set an alarm to get up in the middle of the night to change.
>> After I have after you have a baby, you have like Well, I didn't actually need nappies. But it's nice the little comfort of the always pants. I have to say, just so you know, cuz there's nothing worse than like is there a worst job in the house? I think the worst job is changing your bed sheets. If you wake up and you're like, "Fuck, you can't leave that." Like I would, but like if you share a bed with somebody, you got it has to be changed on the day. So I'd rather wear a nappy. That used to happen so frequently to me. It was such a nightmare.
>> And we know by the state of your mattress.
>> Not true.
>> She used to free bleed on her pillows.
That's what's wrong with them.
>> Explain what free bleeding is.
>> So free bleeding is, and now we're not slagging anyone up. just wouldn't be for me. It just wouldn't be for me. It would be I'd feel like if I'm going to freebleleed, am I just going to free number two? You know what I mean?
>> But it's also like you don't just wee everywhere. Do you know what I mean?
>> Yeah, but you you can't control the blood. Whereas you can control your wee in your pig.
>> You try and stop [ __ ] peeing. If you start peeing, it's near impossible.
>> Sorry, Emmo. I have a pair of shorts that I love so much that I bought from Zara and they were like 25 quid. I wish I'd bought three pairs. Had an accident period-wise in them and like they're ruined. Well, I still wear them all the time, but like I know there is there is stainage. H free breeding is basic. Free bleeding is when you basically uh you menrate without using products. So, you don't use tampons or pads or menstrual cups. You just kind of let it flow naturally. And there's this woman and she posted a picture and she's wearing now she is wearing beige trousers. I just feel like you're not going to get that stain out. Um, and she just had like has blood all over her >> she's ruining her like >> front >> her front her front bottom.
>> I think that's a It looks a bit scary.
Like blood is a bit scary like especially if you're a kid and some people faint when they see blood. So imagine you're just walking around like free bleeding all over the place and then there's God actually I haven't had my period in ages. Isn't that nice? How about in ages? I wonder why that is.
>> Yeah, I know. But I just forgot. I'm like, wow, it's actually [ __ ] lovely.
Take a break from it.
>> I can't imagine it's super like practical because like it's like when you wet like it's going to be wet. So like when you're like sitting down places, you're going to leave like transfers and it's going to feel all comfortable. No.
>> And I'm all for people living their best life and stuff like chafes. What? And I'd like to say I don't I don't mind if people have hairy armpits, by the way.
>> Sorry, I said >> people can have hairy whatever hairy whatever they want, >> but like when it comes to the bleeding, it's not it's impractical. That's the reality of it.
>> It's it's definitely impractical. And like I don't you can't if you're if you're practicing free bleeding, I'm sorry. There are times don't be going swimming and you can't come to my house.
It's like that's this Oh, I don't know if I can say this. Well, I can. That's kind of why I never got a girl dog. I always got boy dogs because like when they go into heat they've got ages of like because before they get you can't get them neutered straight away because they're too young and um they just kind of fear freeble bleed all over the house basically. When you sending when you sending Xi off then around 11 years.
I just thought it was interesting. It popped up and I was like, "Oh my god, I've never But I'm weird around period chat to be honest with you. This is the most period chat I've had in ages. I don't really like talking about it. It's not something that like I'm not ashamed of it.
>> It's most inconvenient is what it is."
>> Yeah. But I don't want to be going on about it. And I'm in total agreement with those countries that give like women a week off when they have their period. I think women should be getting time off when they have their period. I get terrible, terrible pains even now.
It's not even that. It's like it's like the leadup to it. Like you're just depressed for a week and then you're fuming for a week and like your whole month is dictated by this event.
>> Yeah.
>> Sorry for the straight male listeners listening, but like you're you you are learning some good information.
You are learning What else then? You didn't actually tell me about your week last week. Last week I was with you in Dublin and I was filming uh I was filming something with Arlo Hanland who is Father Dooall in Father Ted. And then uh and then Spenny kind of stung me knowing that I was going home for longer than I needed to go home. So we got our hair done and by Kira Lambert and then Chloe from Kira Lamberts. Yeah.
>> You were very good. Oh. Um, when I was doing it, I was watching Wthering Heights. Did I tell you this already?
>> No.
>> Mm-m. Have you seen it, Emo?
>> I've not.
>> I only watched that 15 minutes with you.
>> Hang on. Ambi. Abby, can you just like centralize your head?
>> Me?
>> Yeah. You're just like off on one side.
>> I don't know why it's doing that. Okay, Emo. You're always giving me G.
>> Amber doesn't like to be corrected.
>> Oh, says when we'll get to you. someone who doesn't like to be told they are incorrect about something.
>> There's a delay, Amber. I would like Oh, sorry listeners. There's a delay and that's the only reason you won in the bonus because of the set delay.
>> Wow.
>> Now we that is talk about like I talking about really stretching the limits of being a sword leader.
>> It's technology. It's >> it's a technological fault and I will not >> It's a technological fault. It's a human fault.
>> Sucks dick.
Oh wow. Okay.
How dare you.
>> I do think it's potentially maybe getting a bit too aggro between Vogue and I to be honest with you when we're doing it. I don't think it's bringing out the best in us.
>> Anyway, tell us about Wthering Heights.
>> So, Wthering Heights, I thought it was good. And to say I cried, I mean, and I'm getting my hair done and I mean work. I was like, "Are you crying?" And I was like I mean the for about 10 minutes of and I I had to stop myself from going you know it was I thought it was so so sad.
Imagine living back in the olden days cuz remember no one would let you like nobody would have let their sons marry you. You big >> f. Lots of guys were interested in me.
Thank you very much. Lots. They still are. the taxi driver on the way home on Thursday night. I wish you were straight. Well, I'm not, pal.
He was playing some bangers. That was not enough to turn me. No, thank you.
I'm happily involved.
>> Oh, I I need to I need to watching Heidi. So, I have a few on my list.
>> I think it's good.
>> I watched the is it the housemmaid? I watched the housemmaid. I really liked that. I watched Hamnit the other night with Spven and the same like the What do you think of Hamnit? Oh Jesus Christ.
Did I already speak about this in the podcast? Why do I >> Oh my whailing like literally like >> Oh no.
>> And Spenny obviously sitting there like didn't give a [ __ ] >> What's wrong with you?
>> Yeah. He looks at you and judges and he doesn't look away.
>> He looks at you in a face of disgust.
What's wrong with you? Yeah. It's almost like you got like a fatal disease of some sort.
>> Yeah. He doesn't give you a moment to gather yourself. He just stares. And I was literally like Jesse Hamlet is just like not Jesse Hlet.
>> Booklet.
Jessie Bucket. Bucking. Oh, she's a great actress. Wow. We went out for our meal anyway. Naomi came with us and we were trying to play like who's taking the leftovers and Naomi ended up with the leftovers.
We're we're playing >> who's I am allergic. I I left a restaurant today, a fancy restaurant, right, with Speno. I left a fancyish restaurant and I made him take the two bottles of water with us because I was like, I'm not wasting enough.
>> I am allergic to wasting anything. So, there wasn't even that much Indian left, but there was enough for like a meal maybe like you'd be happy. small little a small little like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A little lunch if you weren't being a slob like we were that night. Um and so we took it away and I was taking it cuz Amber certainly didn't want it. She was going to judge and Naomi wouldn't dream of taking the Indian with her. And so anyway, I went to the toilet and asked Naomi to hold the bag for me. And then we're walking out and obviously I got in the car and I was like sh I left the Indian in the and then I was like I'm after not only wasting the food I've now wasted the bloody cartons they put them in for me to take home and I was furious and then Naomi came up the next day. I was giving her a present of something and she came up the next day and I was like a Naomi felt so bad about that Indian waste and all the things. She goes well it didn't go to waste. She went home and ate it when she got home after sitting down for a full meal.
And Naomi can't even open it. Like if you go to her house and you open a bag of crisp, she makes you take them with her with you because if if you don't, she'll eat the entire like familysized bag of crisps.
>> I love how Vogue popped in there. So Naomi came up because I was giving her a gift or something.
I'm so generous. I even let her have the leftovers even though I really wanted them. Um, but after that anyway, off I went into town.
>> The gift I have ready for you, you can go shove it up your >> hopefully I'm not freeing at the time.
>> So basically, >> I want to meet this community of freebeders.
>> They obviously don't care too much for their clothes or their like furniture.
Nudists are like I find like it's that must feel nice, but there's a nude beach in Sabarret and it's like part of a a non-nude beach, but you kind of find yourself just swimming a little bit further and having a peak like a little perve, but you can never see anything because they're on the beach. They're too far away. No. So anyway, come here.
After we did that, I headed off into town in a taxi because I was going to be a judge for a drag show for Deina's The Apprentice in the George. And oh my god, I got to go to the dressing room.
>> The dressing room that was actually a bucket list thing for me >> and the performances honestly brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, fantastic. I loved it and I want to go again.
>> I love drag shows. Amra's organizing my baby. Shar, do you think we should get a drag show?
>> I mean, I'd love that.
>> Emma, you're invited to my baby shower, by the way, but you don't have to come.
It's in Ireland. It's in Ireland.
>> Oh, >> there was two girls doing it, drag kings, and they were absolutely fantastic. The energy, more passion, more energy, more footwork.
>> Oh, yeah. Amber's organizing my baby shower because she forgot about the last two. Well, and I was trying to organize it with two of your pals, Ashley and Cla, and you're kind of taking the reigns on it because you're quite specific about what you want. What have I taken the reigns on? I just want everyone I don't want it to be like, let's sit down and like, let's play like what does the baby weigh? Oh god, you want to have a chat with Ashley then?
>> Well, I don't mind some baby games, but like I just want I don't want anyone to get bored. I want everyone to have fun.
I be there. Nobody's getting bored.
Well, they will if you start drinking a half nine in the morning or something.
Remember that before electric?
>> Jesus Christ.
>> I'll do the stick man if people start getting bored.
>> We were going to a festival.
>> No, Bo. We've done this. We've done this before. We've done this story time before.
>> Was it four years ago?
>> God, it was a few years ago and she's having a vodka at half 9 in the morning before.
>> I had No, it was stupid. Okay, it was stupid and I learned a lesson the hard way. We'll not get into the details.
Thank you very much. We've rehashed this enough. It's always me getting ripped into on this podcast.
>> Well, it's you who does [ __ ] like I don't do [ __ ] like that. I haven't done that in ages. I fall asleep on my sofa.
That's about as bad as I go.
>> So, I will finish off what I did for my week. I have been going on went for a little solo walk. I went for one last night as well. But >> I felt really sorry for you when I saw those pictures. I was like, "Oh god, that's >> so you go ass stop." And I was like, "Oh no." But then Lynn sent me a picture.
She was down on the beach and she was she took a picture and she was on a solo walk too. It's actually quite nice but I had um Vicki on the phone for the whole thing so I wasn't really on my own. Then on the way down so me and Ailen were walking down the trammers and who did we run into but Peter. Peter's a local guy and every time I see Peter if he's going to the same pub I always buy him a few points and I just love him so much and >> have to slip in that she buys him a few points.
>> Oh sorry any presents going? Oh, quick, Naomi. I have some presents for you, Mom. Quick. H. So, basically, you're not going to believe this. I was looking at my aura. Honestly, remember it kept on telling me I was older.
>> Kept telling me I was like 4.
>> Are you down?
>> I'm down three and a half years, lads.
>> Oh my god. So, in April, I was four.
>> 43?
>> No.
>> What the [ __ ] age do you think I am?
>> I know you're 42 and No, you're 43 in next month. Yes. This month. This month.
You're 43.
>> Three and a half. I >> know. That scares me cuz I think you're going to die soon.
>> I look at Amber when she tells me she's turning 43. I'm like, "Oh, God." And then I'm like, "Oh, no, wait. I'm not far behind." Number five.
So, the other thing I did want to touch on is that we do a quiz, don't we? As part of the bonus.
>> We do.
>> Yeah.
>> And Vogue, I'm yet to receive my apology. Unblock me and post the story.
>> No. You make me sick and you make me ill to my stomach.
>> Right. Okay.
>> Every time I look at you, I feel like I've had that kebab that you had. That's how I feel.
>> Well, why don't you just recollect you bombing up the soda bread, you sicko?
Learn how to chew.
>> Oh, he was put off soda about for quite some time after that. You know, so many people die from choking. Like, Google the stats on people like, can you imagine?
>> I know. Have you ever bitten your Have you ever bitten your actual fingers when you're eating something and like give you a delicious sandwich or something? It's unbelievably painful.
Have you ever done You've never bitten your own hand or anything.
>> And folk the size of your hands. How do you accidentally bite a finger? I if I'm really hungry like or if you bite your tongue or there's just there's no like whenever the kids just start crying for no reason at the dinner table I'm like oh no >> it's so sore when you bite your tongue or the side >> of your mouth.
>> Have you got stats for me there?
>> I do. Um it's not that many people. Uh, so it says that an average of approximately 351 people die from choking in the UK each year. In the UK?
I mean, that's a lot. 351 people. Do you remember that time Spy nearly choked in a carrot?
>> Yes.
>> Oh god, that would be awful. He loved carrots, that boy. He really did. Does he not eat them anymore? No. No. Of course he does. He just chews them a little bit better.
>> Oh, that's probably why you guys are together. It's probably what drew you both together. The fact that neither of you chew your food.
>> Yeah. And then we just swallowed. It's It's funny gets notions as well. By the way, we got this delivery the other day and I was like, "What is that?" And it was like this pasta set. Like you remember in lockdown he used to get like sets of food delivered to you, but it's just like now it does look delicious.
But I'm like, "What? What?" Like what wind took him to decide to buy that? He just does these random things. He's like, "I thought it'd be a nice thing for us to do to do like have a fast night once a week." And I was like, "Okay, pasta." I was like, "Will we make it?" And he was like, "Okay, let's make it tonight." I'm like, "Well, don't you have another one coming on Thursday? I thought you'd like done a prescript subscription." But he just does random things. But I used to use HelloFresh all the time that like you honestly I get so bored of eating the same crap. I keep doing it to myself. I can't I've gone off steak. I can't eat steak anymore in pregnancy >> and I don't love chocolate that much anymore. But I did just order a box of Flumps and a box of those uh dusty white teeth.
>> Oh, I saw you post them.
>> I just ordered two two boxes.
Shall we talk about the Met Gala?
>> Yes. H. Do you know what? I can't bear looking at Margaret Robbie. I can't bear it. She's honestly too pretty. It's just not right. Imagine being friends with her. No, I couldn't. Couldn't be positive her. No way. Too much of a ride. I feel like she's a bit of crack as well though. Australians usually are.
>> She does. Okay. So, Amber, top your head, who was your best dress at the Met Gala?
>> I mean, Heidi Clume. She went all out.
Did you not think?
>> Yeah, she absolutely loves a fancy dress.
>> Yeah, loves it.
>> So, the theme was fashion is art. Well, so I saw some this girl in this and it was a beautiful outfit, but like it literally looked it was she was wearing jeans and a top. I think it was Chanel who dressed her or something and I was like wearing this top. Oh my god. Like Kim Kardashian looks fabulous.
>> Oh no. Now I wasn't. And as much as I always love Kim Kardashian, I couldn't The shoes reminded me of a nun.
>> Did you think looks a bit basic? Beyonce obviously looked deadly like she's and come here to me. Her daughter was at the Met Gala 14 years old. Blue Ivy again.
>> She she has a huge She is so cool. Did you not think Heidi Clume just went all out?
>> I know. But she was a bit like it's meant to be like fashiony. She She was dressed up as the Statue of Liberty. I saw a post last night and there's a post where it compares who their inspo is for whatever their their outfit is and Sabrina Carpenters was kind of shook.
The Bad Bunny olded up so he just got dressed up as an old >> Kylie Jenner was supposed to be was it the statue of David? Kylie Jenner looked like she did look like a babe. I didn't know she was a statue of David. I I thought Kendall Jenner although people thought her dress was a bit boring. I thought she looked fab. Katy Perry. I don't know why I just feel so sorry for Katy Perry all the time.
>> Why?
She's delighted with herself.
>> I just feel like people have just taken a turn on her since she went to space that time.
>> Give the recap on the on the Met Gala then.
>> Okay. So, the theme as I said was fashion is art. H it's the biggest fun fundraising night in history. It raises raised 43 million in 2026. Uh tickets are 100 grand. A full table cost $350 grand. Only 400 guests are allowed. And The Rock wore a $3.3 million watch. Well, come here. I wanted to when I was speaking with Pete about the Met Ali, he was very excited about it and I was like, excited about it. But anyway, I was like, I want to know who didn't go because there's a list of people that didn't go. Well, a load of people didn't go because it's been taken over. Jeff Bezos basically funded it. Do you know what? I was fine. like but the three billion got to me a bit because his wife gave well he needs to give more to charity. Him and his wife um were named the lead sponsors. So that ended up with a lot of people actually shunning the event. Vogue stating that this year's exhibition had been made possible with the couple's funding.
Fivetime Met Gala attendee Bella Hadid liked an Auntie Basos video and wasn't at the event. Olivia Rodrigo and Cara de Lavine also liked the video and may Merryill Street didn't go. New York City Mayor Zo Zahan. Uh I can't see without my glasses. He broke the tradition this year by skipping the Met Gala, becoming the first NYC mayor since 2002 to do so.
There's crazy rules that we didn't mention when you go to the Met Gala.
>> Oh yeah, you can't have onion or garlic.
>> If you're if you're not on time, you're not getting in.
>> Except Rihanna.
>> Ah, like did you see Rihanna?
>> I love Rihanna. I just think but okay, there's one thing I have to say about Rihanna. Even though I have I have a love of Rihanna. I love her so much.
when she came out and said that she doesn't have any help with her kids at all. I'm just like that's like that like I fine if you don't want to say you've got help that's fine but like it makes other women be like oh well how is she doing everything if she's got no help at all with her kids. But she didn't just leave them at home on their own. The two of them were out together. Who's minding the kids? You do have help.
>> Yeah, absolutely. Unless it's Yeah.
Well, either way it's help with a family member or someone else. My family are lazy, so I don't get help of them.
>> Amber's going to the OP style awards and she is up for an award. Best newcomer.
She hasn't posted once for anyone to uh I have. I posted when it came out. I'm shy with these things. Send me the link and I'll post for you. And we should put it in the show notes to get somebody people to vote for Amber. I'd love Amber to win best newcomer. Amber. I just It's the most stylish newcomer. Actually, it would it would make me shed a tear and I would feel like it was an award upon myself cuz I dress you.
>> One of my things that I put in was all about your favorite subject, fog, Japan.
I just like I was even like talking with someone about I suppose what annoyed me is this weekend it happened again with the darts. So in Hoath IMO like you have buses that come and go but the dart is the train that goes directly from Hoth into town into the city center. It also services out by scaries and stuff like that. Malahide no darts ever any bank holiday weekend because they decide every single bank holiday weekend they're going to do works on the line.
It's most frustrating. Loads of people were deserted in hope because they couldn't fit in the buses. So I would just be like of the opinion get people to work through the night. I'd work through the night because you probably get double time. Do you know what I mean? And they do that in Japan. So these are some of the things that Japan is ahead of us in terms of light years ahead of us when it comes to tech and whatnot. Okay. They have this thing called an ultrafine bubble shower. So the shower heads inject nano bubbles smaller than 0.00001 millimeter into the water stream. And these bubbles are so small that they penetrate directly into your skin pores.
No soap required. The same technology is used in Japanese hospitals to clean surgical wounds. Imagine that.
>> I really want one of those toilets. What are they called? The Totos. They're five grand. But like if you go to a hotel, they have them in that Londoner hotel and they have them everywhere >> and they clean your body.
>> Emo, you should just on your way into Global, you should pop into the Londoner, do a warm seated poo, and enjoy yourself.
>> It's just the best toilet I've ever seen.
>> Does it clean your bum afterwards?
Obviously gives you a little power wash.
>> Yeah, it's like it's I I just like the heated toilet seat vibe. I think they're I think they're five grand. Emo, check.
Check in which one is. How much is a Toto toilet?
>> Toto toilet.
>> So go on, tell us more about Japan. So they have an automated underground bike silo. So that means when you park your bike, you insert it into this like kiosk in the sidewalk and then like a robotic arm grabs it and stores it 12 m underground in a circular vault that holds 200 bikes. Takes about 13 seconds and there's over 10,000 of these units across Japan.
>> That's pretty cool.
>> Another one, >> I put mine on a lampost.
>> The next one is um the bone conduction lollipop. So, this Japanese uh company created a lollipop shaped device and it transmits music through your jawbone directly into your inner ear. So, you don't need headphones, you don't need earbuds. You hold it in your mouth and hear highfidelity audio that nobody around you can detect. And the same bone conduction technology is used in Japanese military communication devices.
>> Oh, Jesus. Okay. Auntie Naomi. Naomi bought me these headphones that like go into your ear bones. I know. She asked me about them.
>> Then there's a wearable voice mask.
soundproof mask that lets you make full volume phone calls in crowded areas.
Nobody around you hears a single word.
The mask uses active noise cancellation in reverse, trapping your voice inside a sealed acoustic chamber, and Tokyo commuters use it daily.
>> That's cuz everybody is so polite as well in Japan.
>> Yeah, I don't I didn't I wouldn't think that you'd be allowed to have um like uh conversations on public transport. It would be deemed like impolite. And then the last one, Japan and China are going to make it illegal for companies to replace workers with AI.
>> That's good news, isn't it?
>> There you go.
>> I don't want to cuz your job was deaf out the window, Amber.
>> Like totally untrue because I'm in contact with people every single day.
>> I like human contact. I'm joking. But I do like it. Like I don't even like the selfch checkout. I miss the checkout. I prefer going to a person. I just think it's nicer.
Will we do sister cards? Yes. What instantly makes you think a person is rich? A Toto toilet.
>> A Toto toilet? Yeah. How much is a Toto toilet?
>> The the I'm looking at a website and the most expensive one on there is 11 12 grand, but I think you could probably get a cheap in inverted commas one for about three grand.
>> Oh, good god. Hey Mo, your 40th birthday. I think you'd ask for it.
>> A three. Get a three grander.
>> H. Amber, go on. Tell us what makes you think someone's rich.
>> I would say how they dress. No, their general demeanor.
>> I think if somebody has a driver, I'm always like, whoa.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> That is that's a serious >> because with their with their car, they could have that on what's that thing called when people do it on finance.
>> Yeah. But also, I think >> with their clothes, they could be going to town on their credit card.
>> But they could if they're wearing like Laura Piano or something like this, that's a brand that is madly expensive.
Like you just it's crazy, I think. And if they're wearing jewelry, it could be fake jewelry. And the same goes for bags. So I think if someone if someone for me has a driver, I'm like, "Wow." Or if they I suppose if they have a good job as well.
know if you know what they do for a living. Find them on LinkedIn.
>> Uh, what is the worst case of secondhand embarrassment you've ever experienced?
>> Oh god, you know when someone Oh, >> not the way >> I remember. No, I remember I don't know if I've ever said this to who it is. I won't say who it is just in case I haven't ever said it. So, we're sitting at a table anyway and we're all sitting there and I was pregnant at the time and there was a couple of other pregnant women at the table and fine, whatever. And it was obviously we were dumped at this table cuz we were deemed boring. Anyway, so we're sitting there blah blah blah blah and there's just one woman there who to me didn't look pregnant. H but the person I was with was like, "Oh, when are you?" And they were like, "I had the baby a month ago."
Oh, God. Let my let my soul exit my body.
I just you just you just want to die.
You're like I'm going to like can I sneak off or like oh it's awful.
>> I suppose when you're when you're standing beside someone and they're caught pitching about someone or something like that.
>> Oh god, that's so bad as well. Oh, >> that's essentially what you're saying.
Do you know what I mean?
>> Yeah. Oh, it's desperate. And like they name check the person and say, "Sorry, what were you saying? There's two pigeons that live outside on my balcony." And I used to laugh at you because she said she had two little pigeon friends that were out in her balcony. They are mad about each other.
They're out there hugging now.
They're always hanging out with each other. Just the two of them.
>> That's cute.
>> Anyway, it's just quite nice. Okay.
You're a ghost, but you can only haunt people by doing mildly mildly inconvenient things that make them question their sanity. What is your go-to move?
>> Moving things.
>> Yeah, moving things is just like >> or being like a cat and just like pushing things. He does that all the time. Where have you put my marathon um bib? The the paper one? Sorry. Where have I Why would I touch your marathon bib number? The paper one. And why on earth if it was important would you not put it somewhere safe? Always. Where's my keys? No one's touched your keys. No one has touch like where no where's my keys? Where is someone? Why does everyone have to move my stuff? Keys are exactly where he left to begin with. If you could name your child after a 10 out of 10 movie character, who would it be?
Wolverine. I was going to say Thor.
Thor kind of cool.
Kind of feel like I think someone had a dog named Thor.
Emma. God, >> you girls are Emma. You're the worst at thinking on your beat.
>> I'm sorry, but Amber prepares for this [ __ ] >> I didn't I haven't seen these.
>> He didn't have the document ready.
>> Okay.
>> I was thinking there's no way Amber's prepped this. Fine. Hercules.
>> Hercules. Hercules is a good one.
>> Hercules. What's that? What movie is that from? Hercules.
>> Big Mama's House. Big Mama's House.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Good. It's Eddie Murphy. Eddie's a kind of cool name. Okay. Name one thing that instantly makes your day better and one thing that makes it worse. Well, I'll tell you what made my day better today, right? Nigella Lawson better watch out.
I decided that I wanted to have healthy sweet corn fritters because you know when he goes from when you have sweet corn fritters and they're just thrown in a deep fat fryer. I thought I'll make them at home and I'll put a little bit of butter on a pan and then I'll fry them that way so they're not like just like deep fat fried. I was shook at how nice I made them. I put I put scallions in them. I put sweet corn obviously and I put it's eggs, flour, and uh feta and then Sriracha on top with avocado. I felt like the queen of health and it was and I'll make them for you when I get home.
>> Yeah, that sounds yummy. I'd be into that. Um on what's one thing that makes your day worse?
>> People canceling on me. It does it does annoy me sometimes >> when someone keeps on cancel. And one thing that makes me instantly makes my day better is >> if the sun is shining >> and one thing that makes it worse is if something doesn't go to plan and I'm looking forward to it.
>> The darkness of winter is just really hard to get through. Like it's so shitty and dark. But I do feel like I do feel like time is flying at the moment.
>> Do you know what I will say as well? I think what makes my like we went and looked at our new house the other day just to see it and um and there's a garden there and you look out the window and it's a bit of green. Like it's not the biggest garden in the world, but we're in London. But like where I am now, I look out the window and it's just it's only buildings and I'm like I will feel such a sense of peace when I can just look out and just see a bit of green. Like that will make me very happy.
>> Yeah. But also but also don't forget like how you feel being beside the sea.
I feel like when you kind of live by the sea because obviously we grew up in Port >> Bang. That sounds like Jamanji. I'm scared.
>> Sorry it was me.
I'm scared. Like we grew up by the sea when we were in Port Marik and then obviously moved to Sutton. I find when people have lived by the sea they find it difficult to kind of like go into kind of an urban area.
>> But we used to live like on a main road.
So I grew up like liking the noise of the traffic cuz I just I found it like comforting. But like then I moved away from that and then when I moved to Hackne again I was like oh my god the noise of the traffic it was really >> climatized to it though.
>> But like if we go up to Scotland where Spenny's parents are currently. Um it's like it's it's it's literally like there's just no noise. It's just silence and it's so nice. Um, okay. Seven hour drive and you can only listen to one artist. Who are you listening to >> at the moment? I would probably say Taylor Swift or Rihanna.
>> Oh, I am going to say Giggs. I've started listening to gigs again and I'm really enjoying his album Landlord. So, Ryan Giggs. No, Giggs. The artist. H. Best book ever written.
>> Anamar.
>> I do love Oh, no. What's the one? The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boy. I loved that. But I listened to the audio book. I have to say I love Seven Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
>> Um and I did love um Oh my god. Louise O'Neal's book Asking for it now.
>> Asking for it. She's a new book out.
>> I know. Is it not an autobiography?
>> I'm not sure. Janette Janette Mccertie.
Um >> I'm glad my mom died is a great book.
Have you read that? like that book. I've just read her first fiction. How was that?
>> It was really interesting, actually.
It's about a student who has a relationship with her teacher.
>> Oh, well. Oh, there's the bittersweet is a very good book. If you're looking for something to Amber, you'd love it. I was in a bookshop the other day. Not a bookshop, just one of the shops in the airport. And I went to buy a book and I was like, I kind of wasn't that into it, but like it was a good book. And I went up to buy it and I was like, I got the She told me how much it was. I was like, sorry, how much is the book? And she's like, €29? I was like, €29?
>> That's expensive for a book.
>> I gave a [ __ ] >> Fair enough. Was it a heartback?
>> No. And I was like, that's a lot of money for a book.
>> Like, if you think about it, the price of a chocolate bar, a small little eightpiece chocolate bar, and they've reduced the quantity. I know now I've gone on about Kathy Books Burke, but I B Kathy Burke's book. She's written a memoir. She was Perry from she was a lot of things now, but like I know her most from Perry from Kevin and Barry and she has that had that amazing podcast where there's a Will, there's a wake. Um, and I've just it's a memoir that she's written and I really finished it and she's just a really nice person. And it's a it's a really like nice read and like she she didn't have the easiest life growing up, but it's like she's just such a positive.
>> I think there's no [ __ ] with her.
>> What you see is what you get and she'll be very truthful but also not unkind in the way she says things to you and I just think she'd be a nice person to hang out with.
>> So a few people have told me >> that London Falling is meant to be an absolutely brilliant book. So I'm about to start that. But girls, my paperback is coming out. Big Mouth is coming.
>> I saw the cover. It's lovely.
>> £10.99, not 29.10 99. Supposedly loads of people uh wait for paperbacks.
I'm not one of them. Some of the chapters include drywriting.
>> Jesus.
>> Rich [ __ ] wannabe, I am a builder. The hardest goodbye.
Oh, there you go. The three little pigs.
I'm assuming that's about my children. I actually can't remember because I wrote it so long ago. Anyway, that is out um this month, which is very exciting. I'm very excited about it. So, thanks for the segway. Oh, we're in sister cards.
Let me go back. You get 50 grand for every IQ point you lose. Oh, how far do you go? I wouldn't go far. I think intelligence is a lovely thing to have.
>> Then you won't be able to spend the money because >> Yeah.
>> Have you ever done an IQ test?
>> No. But I would do very well, I assume.
I did one recently and it was interesting.
>> Why?
>> Where did you do it? Are you a dumbass?
>> It's just like an online test that you can do.
>> Ah, there's spoofs in mo.
>> What?
>> Doesn't matter. They're only spoofs if you do badly.
>> No, no, it was it was a Mensah IQ test.
>> Oh my god. I went into I did something with Mensah for a TV show before.
>> And how did you do?
>> I actually wasn't as like I was as up there. Didn't get into Mensa, but I wasn't far off.
>> Very good.
>> Yeah. You wouldn't you wouldn't think it.
>> I mean, I'd probably maybe do 10 IQ points. Just take 500 grand.
>> No, I just I don't think I just think intelligence is such a nice thing to have and a bit of cop on and common sense.
>> Okay. Will we talk about agony amp or do an agony amp and then finish it off?
>> We'll do an agony amp and we'll say goodbye to you lovely listeners and thank you so much for always sending in your agony a and please keep them sending us.
>> We laugh them. Vogue and Amberpod atg global.com. Hey Vogue and hey Amber.
This is Daniela. She forgot you mo. I love how the two of you always seem to have different opinions and the way you give out is hilarious. I'd love to see what you two think of my agony and dilemma. Della d who dilemma. I've always had in the back of my mind that I wanted to get this tattoo because I've got no tats. I've always been a bit scared. It's basically a little line drawing of a cloud. It's got a bit of meaning and it's really personal to me.
I'm 39 this year, but next year when I turn 40, I told myself and a few pals I was going to get it.
>> I quite like the idea of a line drawing of a cloud.
>> Yeah, it's nice. But last month, my friend, >> dad in the cloud.
>> Not like an a portrait of vogue.
>> Portrait of dad.
>> What does the portrait look like in his grave? It has not aged well.
Anyway, but last month my friend got one that was seriously similar. It's a line tattoo. A cloud just like I wanted, even with a little detail that I told her I liked the sound of. Copying a maid's tattoo idea isn't a thing, is it? I'm annoyed, but I don't know if I'm right to feel annoyed. I've wanted it for years. When I said, "That looks like the one I wanted." She just sort of shrugged and said, "No, it's not." Which felt gaslighty. Help. And do one of you uh do and do the two of you have any tattoos?
That's shady as [ __ ] >> That kind of would annoy me. I'd be like, "No, I literally now you know not to tell her stuff in future." I tell you what, if she was a friend of mine, I wouldn't be telling her any of my secrets. It began straight.
>> It's very coincidental that you've gotten pretty much the exact tattoo I said I was going to get for my 40th. And it's a bit weird, too.
>> I know, but you can't be a It's such a tough one. Like, it's such a It's such a basic thing. No, I would probably I'd probably say that to her. I probably would say it. I'd be like, "Well, I that's exactly what I was going to get.
Now I can't get it." But at the end of the day, you don't own clouds either is the problem.
>> I would ask her, explain where the inspiration came from because you obviously explain that to your pals saying, you know, it means something. Or maybe you haven't because it's quite personal to you as you said, but I would push her on it. That's weird. What a weirdo. IMO, do you have any tattoos?
>> I don't know.
>> We're all so innocent. Well, Joannne's tattoo. She got this exact same tattoo as Kylie, the girl who was her tour manager and used to be our tour manager.
And Kylie didn't seem to mind.
>> Was that not a greed thing they did together? No.
>> No. Kylie had had hers for ages.
>> Oh.
>> And I mean Yeah. I just like I don't know.
Like I don't love like my friend James and Neil and I we we buy a lot of the same stuff like we bought the same bag when we were away and it's like it's not like we care. Do you know what I mean?
He doesn't get annoyed by it unless he's bitching about baby behind my back which is very very plausible. James also said that I stole his name Shi cuz he used to call his grandmother Xi. I said, "James, I knew a Shi from my auntie and her dog, and I did not call Shiji after your granny, and I did not steal your name."
Okay.
>> Yeah, but you're talking about like you're talking about materialistic things. This girl's talking about something of sentimentality that she had planned to get and would have shared with her friends that she was planning on getting. And how exciting.
>> I just put her in the >> Yeah. I feel like it's slightly different having like the same bag to having like the same mark on your skin.
>> Okay. Well, the what I'm talking about's name then. Okay, fine. You named Gigi after a dog.
>> Okay. Woof woof. I think that uh I I mean there's nothing you can do about it now. She has it. So, you're going to just have to think of a different one or just not give a [ __ ] and get the one that you wanted and make yours nicer.
Yeah. Why don't you get a baby blue one instead of black? Baby blue.
Okay. All that's it.
Bonui. See you later. I'm going to have my special pass of the spinny bot. I'll let you know how it goes. It might be awful. If it's not, I'll tell you where he ordered it from.
>> Bye everyone.
>> Bye.
