This is a Global Player original podcast.
Hello and welcome to the bonus episode of Vogue and Amber, the podcast. Recording live on a Tuesday, coming to your ears on a Thursday. Guess what I... Oh no, recording live on a Monday. God... She said it with such conviction. Conviction. Do you know what I've just done? Wait, hang on a second. I'm about to do it right now. Hold on. Here we go. Just double click.
Do you know what I have done at 4pm on a Monday? Only in London. I've ordered a Chinese. Oh, what did you order? Chip and curry sauce.
Oh, I don't like curry sauce from the Chinese. I'd be more of a satay sweet and sour girl.
I'm not finished. Excuse me, I'm not finished. And crispy shredded beef and chow mein noodles. I've gone rogue because I had Singapore. They were too spicy with the spicy... So yeah, I've got that coming to me in about, well, 15 to 25 minutes, it would seem. So chop, chop.
Oh God, I'm considering what to do for dinner tonight myself and Leah. I don't think I want Chinese. I never sleep well after Chinese. That's why the beauty is order it at four o'clock.
Chinese over here don't open until five. Yeah. Get it as soon as they open. There's a couple of things I've been thinking about this week. In other words, like January is the best month. I loved it. Jesus Christ. January is very long. We're still in it.
I feel like it's a long January.
Someone was trying to say it's really quick.

Chapter 2: What is microdosing joy and how can it impact our lives?
It's really just been quite stormy here. Now the visibility is at an all-time low here. I can't see beyond the trees, not only just 10 feet. The visibility is down. It's been raining all day, very windy. And the weather matches my mood, let's be honest with ourselves.
poor Ambie yeah I don't think poor Ambie I think you have done a fantastic job on Dancing with the Stars and you made it as far as I did so well done Ambie come on I think you jinxed me you went out round four you were the fourth person out and then also you jinxed me by threatening not to come next week oh okay so it's my fault listen I found another piece of evidence to support my claim well I won't be honest and tell you what I think it was then fine go on blame me it's easier
Okay, well, you know the way that you have two podcasts? Yeah. So, I found myself in the bathroom yesterday and I met a girl who had just been listening to my therapist ghosted me. Yeah. And she had said, hey, you were saying you weren't arsed coming to the show again. Who's that girl? And I will hunt her down. And the recording matches up with the evening. I found out that information myself.
Well, Amber, I was looking forward to it and I thought to change my flights again. And you know what? Screw me because it's 300 quid one way now. And that's what I get for being a silly bitch. Anyway, Amber, don't be upset. I think it's always hard when you... I'm not upset.
I was upset last night and I was, oh God, it was bad. I was going, you have to do interviews afterwards. And I just had to sit down in the stairs. And I had to go then do the interviews. And then one question was asked and I found myself getting, you know, when you kind of feel yourself about to cry. And I was like, no, don't do it, don't do it. Can we move on to another question, please?
And listen, I got it all out last night. I had a few weeps. And I suppose, but that shows, you know, the dedication, how involved and, you know, Yeah, committed you are to the show. And I was devastated. I am still devastated because I really did want to make it to next week. And that's what I had as my ambition next week. And then after that, I wouldn't have given a...
I don't know what you say. A flying hook.
A hoot.
Oh, a hoot.

Chapter 3: What are the controversies surrounding Vogue's 'cheating' on Gladiators?
We're watching All's Fair. I love All's Fair. And I'm still trying to finish, I'm still trying to finish, I was watching, I watched another episode there of Yellowstone.
God, poor John Dutton. He looks great, doesn't he? Have you seen him on his birthday pictures? He's gone out with somebody around my age as well. I mean, God damn it, I could definitely get in there. Maybe a couple more years it's been and I'll move on. Me either. Oh God, no. Imagine I brought him home for dinner. He's an all-loving mom and he'll be great friends because they'll be the same age.
Oh, stop.
But yeah, so there you have it. But apparently, I should know this, but we have to go back for the final. And they're all going out next week after Dedication Week because it marks the halfway point. But I might be away. I might be going on a big gay holiday to Lanzarote for one of my friends' 40th. I think you need a big gay holiday.
Yeah, but I don't want to go and get rinsed for like seven days. So I'm just weighing it up. I think I might change my flight. So I only go for like five days. God, it wouldn't be like us to change a flight, would it? Well, people were shocked. Joanne was shocked. Joanne texts me. She calls me Amby Pamby. That's not my name. But she goes, now go have a, now go have a like, what is it?
A pint of champagne. And I texted her back today. I was like, ah, no, I didn't booze last night. She was like, what? I was like, yeah, no. And I said that to someone I work with as well, Donna, who was texting me. And I was like, how did you not get a goo? Cause if I had had a goo, I probably would have been crying into my cornflakes this morning.
And I just needed to, yeah, just needed to feel, feel my emotions, accept it and come at it differently today. So I did that, went and did a couple of radio interviews this morning. And now I'm going on today's show. in Cork after I did this and I had to record this I've basically I wanted to go see The Housemaid but unfortunately that's not possible this evening which I'm devastated about
You could go see an evening viewing. I wouldn't go to cinema at half eight at night.
I'd rather have school the next day. School is work. Too late.

Chapter 4: How do Vogue and Amber handle listener comments and feedback?
And then the next morning you're on breakfast television. Well, didn't somebody forget to go to bed? Me! And then it was all over the Irish press that I hadn't shown up for my interview because I was...
pretty much still pissed and yes it was true mom was ashamed of me everyone was disgusted I'd given the Irish a bad name all this and I was like oh my god forgive me for having fun I was quite young did you not turn up no didn't turn up I was pissed I couldn't I was pissed oh goodness me no Alex Alex was out last night I think she had about four hours sleep I was like she looked bloody great so yeah she's probably a young'un she's probably a young'un those feckers
Oh, poor Ambie. No, poor Ambie. I had a ball. I really enjoyed it. I'm happy I did it. So onwards and upwards, do you know what I mean?
I'm glad I, like, listen, I, as I said earlier on in the radio interview, I got a message from a girl this morning who basically said that she's a bit confused and yeah, I've inspired her to be her true self and that's what it's all about, you know, and just showcasing Yeah, gal and gal kind of dynamics on screen. Like the two gals in Corrie. Gala in Corrie.
I don't know any Corrie drama.
I came on actually the podcast and the two girls were talking and I could tell by their tone they were having a little commiseration chat about me.
it had only begun all I said was poor Ambie and Emma was like I know and then Amber's like I can hear you the first thing listen to this but this is as sensitive as our family is Emma right this morning
I get this from folks. How are you feeling today? Don't forget FedEx coming for ski gear today. I'm fine. Fucking FedEx. You are gas. At least you get your package delivered. Lol.
Dear Amber Vogue and Imo, I was just reading an article about microdosing joy, whether it be appreciating your coffee in the morning or doing something kind for a friend. I wanted to let the three of you know that listening to your pod is a microdose of joy for me. Oh, I hope today it is as well.

Chapter 5: What should you do if your best friend is in contact with your ex?
Okay.
I'll say it to my trophy. I remember last night, I couldn't get the VPN to work. I don't know why it wouldn't work. Obviously, Alza was able to. And then he was like screen mirroring it just to show off. And so I had to ring Alza and I had to watch you from Alza's laptop. And then I had to watch you from his TV for the last bit. And it was very sad.
We were very sad.
Shh.
oh stop it was so bad because I've just I just like oh don't I'll start crying again oh no okay okay go do the email do the email no Amber why is why would you cry about it you did a really good job because it's reminding me of last night when I got upset and it's like
Imo Vo called us in the car on the way back. And she's like, hi, Andy, how are you? And you know when someone tries to be nice to you? And I couldn't actually speak. It was like, I mean, like, that's what was so hard last night because you feel like you're getting hit by a fucking truck.
And I was like, then not only did I have to talk to Jennifer and Laura, then I had to go do an interview with James and then I had to go talk to media. But then we got in the car and... And I thought I got my shit together. And we get in the car and Vogue calls me with that kind of like, are you, are you, are you, are you okay? And I was like, that set me off again. And I couldn't speak.
And Leah was in the car. She's like, she's very upset. She can't speak. Trying to fucking sign language on a fucking voice call. That's so funny. I was literally about to say something about what this next email says. You didn't write this email, did you? I did not. Okay, so this is from Beth, Dear Vogue and Amber.
First of all, I'm absolutely here for the IMO banter since she blindsided us all with her little bi confession. Myself included.

Chapter 6: What emotional challenges does Amber face after her breakup?
I get it in the neck for shitting myself all the time. I get it in the neck for being bisexual. I know. And I'm gross. I'm just straight.
Yuck. I get it in the neck for having a history with men. We've all dabbled. Vogue even too. I'll finish this. I can't explain it. It's almost like we're reclaiming the offensiveness or something. Please don't change. Amber, you're the lesbian icon we all need, keeping it so real.
Anyway, I'm visiting Ireland for the first time at the end of February to see your good old pal Joanne on tour in Dublin. Ooh, I'm hoping to go as well because I think she might be staying here, especially considering there's sky in the room. Can you give me some must things to do, eat, drink in Dublin? Joanne's going to have bloody chocolates left on her pillow.
No, that'll be the poo-poo I'll have put there for you. Places to eat, drink and do in Dublin. Oh, there's so many places. You could go to Dion. It's a new kind of rooftop bar. You've got 360 views of the city. There's so many great restaurants in town.
I'm a sad loser.
I love Coffager Row, Row Wines.
Go to Amber's house because she'll be there the most and just sit there. That's all I do. So I have no input. Go to the Westbury... Get their crew is great. Oh yeah, absolutely. For cocktails. They have amazing cocktails. They have the most amazing food. Really good DJs as well. Oh, that's Riot and they have pool tables, dive bar.
Riot, I saw them put up a video and I nearly went to repost and I was like, what am I doing? Just because it was these burgers and they just look so amazing. And I was like... They looked delish.
There's loads, I'd definitely go to do some, there's a Warhol exhibition on at the moment. I think it's in the National Gallery. Look at me being all cultural. There's lots of things to do.

Chapter 7: How can friendships change after a breakup?
I decided to do it on a really, really niche artist. And I could only use their books there. They didn't trust me to take them home. So I am very well cultured. Thank you very much.
Do you remember I did my dissertation on renewable energy, but I didn't do something like that had loads of research behind it. I did it on wave energy, which you'll probably see they haven't really figured out how to fully harness wave energy either, even to this day. And I had to find out all this stuff on wave energy. My God, a different life.
Kerry O'Leary, actually, a local gal from here. She's done a whole art piece all about wave energy.
So there you go. Yeah, I know. I got a little piece of hers. Okay, we've an agony amp. Hey, girlies, I really need your help. I broke up my ex about a year ago. It wasn't dramatic, but she had started displaying some very red, flanky characteristics and behaviors, and I didn't want to be around it anymore.
Even though I initiated it, the breakup was really painful and took me a long time to get over. The relationship really knocked my confidence and I worked hard to move on and rebuild myself while she made the breakup as hard as I possibly could have been. My best friend was there for all of it. Late night, voice notes, crying in her car, ranting on walks, you know, the lot.
She knows exactly how hurt I was. Last week, I accidentally found out that she's still in contact with my ex. My best mate was on the loo and asked me to book an Uber for us on her phone. And there was a message from my ex. So I scrolled the conversation. It wasn't just the odd chat. They're messaging regularly and have met up for coffee and dinner a few times. She calls them friend dates.
I feel blindsided. I don't want to be controlling and I don't know. And I don't own either of them, but it feels like a betrayal that she didn't tell me herself. And I don't understand why she feels the need to keep in the contact after everything she put me through at the breakup. She doesn't know I know, but I know I've been off with her and she's sensing it.
I don't really know if I'm being overly sensitive or if my feelings are actually valid. That can be a difficult one because like just because you don't like your ex doesn't mean she likes her ex and she doesn't like your ex. And it depends how close you two were before you and your ex got together.
And if you've all been friends before and you kind of can't force people not to be friends with somebody.

Chapter 8: What are some recommendations for things to do in Dublin?
I find it disrespectful. I just, if it, if it was completely not wholesome, if it was completely innocent, why is it a secret?
Yeah.
Do you know what I find? Yeah, it shouldn't be a secret. That's for sure. But I always find it strange. Like, like when you break up somebody, I'm kind of happy. Like, even if you've been with somebody for a long time, you will have some mutual friends, but none that are mutual enough to like claim, I guess.
But like, I think that like I, like I've broken up with people that we've been together for quite a while, but our friends have just naturally changed.
broken apart and we've kind of just had our own friends from when we were together and like it's just naturally done that way but I wouldn't like if my best friend was talking to my ex I'd be like why do you need to do that but also not just talking to your ex not being honest with you about it I think
Yeah, I think it's a tricky situation. I do think that these friendships naturally kind of like pair off a little bit. I don't want to say die out because that's quite a strong phrase to use.
But like, I do think sometimes it just takes a little bit of time because I know, I know people it's happened to where the exes stayed friends with the friends and it's just like, well, and then the other person has had to take a step back from their friends. which isn't really fair. Yeah, I know.
So, but that's a very, that's a very respectful person and a very, I don't know, very, uh, being more mature. So yeah. Um, I would just have a conversation with your friend and say, listen, you're going to have to be honest with them. And if you're expecting them to be honest with you, you need to be honest with them and say, listen, I saw something on your phone has been niggling at me.
I don't feel great about it. I'd just like to know, it seems that your friends with such and such, um, uh, Oh God, so awkward. I hate it.
