Transcript

This is the BBC. This podcast is supported by advertising outside the UK. We've finally named it. We're finally starting. And I'm ready to go. Here we are. A bit sick of not starting. Here we are. Miss Me? I actually don't miss you. Because I just saw you a few days ago. And that's why I'm much prefer to hold you on FaceTime. Is that terrible? Is that a really bad sign? What's kind of the whole concept for this show is that we're going to do this now.

But I didn't realise it was my preferred mode of communication with you. In real life, you get on my nerves a little bit more. And now we can let the whole world in. I wonder if it's to do with other people as well. Maybe it's the combination of me and other people in a room. Yes, I think that always has been your weak point. But I'll visit around. But it's just me and you. One-on-one. That's when you get the good stuff. We're going to be talking to each other twice a week.

Because we're friends. And also we think that some people might like to hear from us. Because we've been around for a while. We've been doing a broadcasting thing. I was being a pop star for a bit. And this show is all about checking in on each other, reconnecting. I live in New York in Brooklyn. Mickey, it lives in East London. And I think actually what's exciting is that the podcast is going to follow us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Correct. We do have quite busy, crazy lives and the podcast is coming with us for all of it. Yeah, although I don't know how I'm going to settle this up when I'm connected to Nashville. Imagine me getting in from the studio all day. And it's like, right, now you've got to do the krypton factor in order to get this podcast out. This is actually going to be, this is the, you know, if me and my lovely husband, David, have a baby. This was going to be the baby's room. But now the podcast is my bebe.

So, yes, do let us know if anything changes in the unit to move the podcast to another room. But I've got all my memories in the back here and all my family and all my press. And you're going to maybe have some of the same. You said that you're actually going to put basically, I said to you, I think it's really important to have your press all around you to remind you of what you've done. And you've done hell of a lot of stuff.

And now you actually have bought all your old covers from what 15, 20 years. I went to, went on eBay. And I bought, you know, anything that, yeah, I typed in nearly Allen magazine covers and quite a few came up. And I bought them all quite, quite a large expense. It's been a real exercise in narcissism. But we're going to be talking about everything that happens in life. Lily is in a marriage.

I am not. I'm constantly wanting to know more about what it's like to actually have a husband and live a happy married life. It helps if you marry David, who I love with all my heart. As you know, Lily's also a mother. I'm not a mother. I have a lot of nieces and nephews. Your kids being included. But I don't actually know what it's like to raise children. Apart from your late night facetimes telling me. Yeah, it's hell. And actually I have a list.

I've been adding things to our list. The big conversation list. So these are the kind of things that we'll be discussing. Things that happen in our lives. I imagine things that happen in everybody's life from. Oh, no, that is just me. I won't do that one. Bankruptcy. That was just me. I don't think you're alone in bankruptcy. I true say good point. Maybe Kim Bassinger or Wesley Snipes are listening. Maybe, but I also don't think that it's just like famous people that go bankrupt.

Lots of people go bankrupt. Of course not. But when I was going through it, I used to feel a real affiliation with Kim Bassinger and Wesley. Okay. We could be dissecting Reggae. We could be talking about Josh Hartnett because. Wow. Not anymore. My Scottish ancestry, the moon and the stars, vibrators. I like that you've been adding your own things to the list. I saw last night. I was like, I mean, there's nothing point in it being a collaboration. Yes, but so far you haven't added anything.

And then last night you added intrusive thoughts. I was like, oh. Me too, babe. Me too. No, do you know what it was? It's just because you kept, you keep updating them. I keep getting notifications. My intrusive thoughts were, I'm going to fucking murder that bitch. I put four things, couples who work out together. Couples who make couple content. I like couples who make couple content because no one ever thinks about the poor bastard holding the camera.

And imagine if that's your girlfriend, you've got to do that 15 times a day. I want to give them a voice. All right. I just think that I just have no respect for it. What's it? I'm not going to actually explain exactly how we're going to give these conversations to you and share our experiences with you and just become a family, become a community together, living you name to these sections. So I did like, yeah, we got the meaty drop and listen bitch. Well, actually using those words.

Okay. I don't know how we've been. Well, yeah, the meaty drop. Where did that come from? I guess maybe because we're dividing the, you know, conversation into two parts really. And one is the, you know, the meaty drop. I like it. I like it. I get it. It's kind of like in the vein of photo dump. So that's the discussion. That's the conversation. That's the chat where we have our big talk and sort of go through everything that's going on in our lives and the world around us.

And then on Mondays, that's listen bitch. Listen, bitch. Feel free to send us different ways to say listen bitch because this is just a particular way that we've said it since we were kids. When we were just getting each other's attention. It's very specific, particular. Listen bitch. And I really never thought we'd share it with so many people. But I have to say it's an honor to it really is. Listen bitch.

So yeah, listen bitch is the episode where you ask us questions, but it is going to be themed. We didn't want it to be too just ask us anything. Let's kind of, let's have a theme so that we're all working on the same page. The theme could be like Glastonbury 2009. It could be any Glastonbury, but Glastonbury 2009. That's quite specific. I would have thought it would have been broad to like just like Glastonbury. Yeah, okay. Glastonbury. But I was trying to think about our favorite Glastonbury.

And what though, that you might have been talking about the whole point of Glastonbury is that they all sort of blur into one, isn't it? Like I don't, I can't tell you what happened when Glastonbury. Okay, we won't do Glastonbury because you can't remember any of them. I can't remember lots of different things that happened there. I just can't tell you when they were. Do you know what I was going to do? Just in case there is anyone that's like, who's Lily Allen?

I was going to read your Wikipedia. No, please don't do that. Don't worry, mine says that I did a critically acclaimed run of Oliver Twist, the urban version, at the Hackney Empire. So don't worry. It was going to be that bad. All right, we'll just do a little, we'll just do that beginning bit. We won't go into my personal life and like, you know, all that. But Lily Rose Beatrice Allen, that's Lily's full name.

She's an English singer, songwriter and actress, her musical career began in 2005, when she began publishing her vocal recordings on MySpace. If no one's going to know what the hell that is, their popularity resulted in Airplane Radio 1. It was a big move actually and led to her signing with Regal Recordings. Not quite true. I actually was signed to Regal Recordings before I set up The MySpace. But you do you, I can do this. Oh, yes.

2006 debut single, Smile was number one in the UK singles chart. This is when singles being number one was very important. And it received double platinum certification by the British phonographic industry. The more I still use the group. I know why boys at the British phonographic industry. I was like, why were they giving out awards for it? A debut album, explored Scar and Reggae. It did. It did. Amongst other things. Number two, who was number one? I know it was Shakira and Wyclef.

I know that was the single. No, that was the single. And I knocked off. I knocked, not tips don't lie off the top spot actually. That might be all you need to say actually. She knocked, hips don't lie. If I Shakira and Wyclef off the top spot. Yeah, damn straight. A varied multi-layered iconic career as a singer songwriter for many, many years. And I've branched out and now I do other things. I've done some musicals, written them and I've made it to the stage.

I have acted in a couple of plays in London's West End. You are an actress now. Now, let me read your Wikipedia entry, shall I? Yeah, okay. Mikiita Billy, Alexandra Oliver, born on the 25th of April 1984. Is a British television presenter and radio personality? With Simon Ampstel, she co-hosted Channel 4's Pop World from 2001 to 2006. She went on to present T4 from 2006 to 2010, as well as having her own show, The Month with Mikiita on television. Okay, that's where I wanted to stop.

Stop. Stop. That will do. In April, May 2015, she took part in a four-part series 24 hours in the past as herself. Oh, my God. Can we not bring up when I had to dress up as a Victorian with AdWiddicon for two weeks of my life? It was not a good time in my career. And it was the BBC, so I said, yes. Did you do that homeless, like sleeping on the streets as well? No, that was your dad. Oh, you're dad did that. Yeah, I get you guys when it stops. I get your old career trajectories when it stops.

Yeah, let's admit that. That's right. Exend it there. Who the fuck supplies information to Wikipedia? Just quickly tell me, is it still like just people? Anyone and anyone, you can make additions. For ages, there was like an entry on it that said that I suffered with cowers acutesies. I don't even know where that is. I want to strange thing. Considering the weird shit you've told people that you do have, I can't believe that weird lies on Wikipedia. I think you know what I mean. Oh, yeah.

Fake hip. What was it? You said to a famous rapper. Yeah, once I did have a liposuction on my butt, bum. And once I was, you know, fornicating with a man, a rapper, whatever you want to call them. And said rapper spotted the scars from my liposuction and said what are those? And I panicked because I was too embarrassed to disclose that I had had liposuction. So I said I had a hip replacement. And now said rapper walks around somehow thinking that that would sound sexier. I was only like 23.

But I just love that said rapper walks around thinking that Lillia has fake it. I think it probably knew that it was not true. Maybe not though. Maybe it's just anyway. Take from that what you will. We're going to talk about holidays today because we went on holiday. We had a month in Kenya together. Well, Lillie, we did nine days together. I did a month with my parents. I thought you were pretty good actually. I mean, I, you know, I've known you for a long, long time.

I can't even think of when you've been on holiday except for in the last year that you went to Ibiza. Oh, fuck. And you went to Sicily. And then this year you went to Kenya. But even when I lived in Gloucestershire, you know, you could get you down there for like 24 maybe. Like 36 hours at a stretch. You can take the girl out of East London. Actually, you can't take the girl out of this. Excuse me. It's not that. I just, um, what the fuck is it? I don't know.

It's FOMO and it's controlling your environment. Absolutely not FOMO. I don't care about what anyone's doing back here. It's that I don't like the pressure of having to have a good time at all times. I don't like that. I find that intense and like not fun. And like everything's got to be like, well, holidays are everything's magical and perfect. It's like, no, it's not. That's why I like a work trip with fun threaded throughout it.

So he isn't that your job pretending that you're having a good time at all times. Yes. Exactly. Well, I'm done. Yes. Exactly. So I don't want to do that for too long. I'm going to have to have a good time. I want to get paid for it. Exactly. Or maybe it's because I think feel like I don't deserve a good time. Oh, well, say the therapist, please. Jesus. I do. I think I don't deserve pleasure. Oh, no. We're going to go there on episode one, really. Christ. I don't feel like there's a pleasure.

No, but that was a pretty great family holiday. We did some really nice. Well, basically, when you got there, when I was just about to kill my parents. And so when Lill turned up, I was like, okay, because you love them so much and they love you. So you guys could do all that and I could kind of step back and just breathe a bit. But we did it. Look, we survived. We did it. We went all over Kenya and we had a really nice time. But I was like ready to come home. You really were by the end of it.

She was throwing straws, left, right and centre. She was having to apologize. We haven't got there yet. We haven't got the tantrum town yet. But I was on the edge. Do you think you preferred our Kenya holiday or our barge trip on a day? The year is 1996. It was your dad, Keith Allen, trying to connect with us. And he said to my mum and your mum, I'm going to take the girls on a barge trip. My mum was like, that is the worst idea I've ever had.

She was like, have you been alone with all three of them? Me key to Phoebe and Lily. And he was like, yeah, I got this. It's going to be me, Alex James. I don't think David and her. No, he wasn't. No. But it was another grown up. And we were setting off from London to Strapford upon Aven. So what happened was it started very upstairs downstairs. We realized we weren't really welcome on the top deck. That was for the guys, for the boys. And we were just there to cook. We couldn't do it.

Yeah, because we were children. And also do the locks. And presumably wash up while they partied on the top deck. We were like, they can't treat us like this. We can't do this to us anymore. And we were really tired from doing the locks all day. Can I just say we're not dramatising this? It did feel like we were there to be slaves. And we were like, we can't do this. We're strong independent women. We're going to run away. We're going to strike. We went on Strapford, like, fuck you Alex.

Showing fuck you, Keith Allen. We don't need this. He called mom and said, the girls have wrapped away. My mom was like, what? So he came looking for us. And I just remember being at the top of the field with like a hill. And all three of us trying to go into directions and keep running at us and grabbing you, grabbing and just like, huddling us together and dragging us back to the barge. And I was like, we are in so much fucking trouble. It was the night. It was the night. Yes. Happy memories.

Happy, happy memories. Can we talk about the disappearance of Kate Middleton, please, for a moment? What do you mean the disappearance? Well, she hasn't been seen since Christmas day. Actually, that's not true. No. She's been seen once in the car with... But she went to hospital. That's what the palace is saying. But did she? Well, could you possibly be implied? I mean, well, you clearly haven't been like abreast of the conspiracy theories.

No. The theories are she's left William that they're not together anymore. Shut the fuck up. No. Well, they wouldn't let that happen. Charles' ill, Harry Meghan's gone. Exactly. They haven't announced it, but she hasn't been seen. They've got this, you know, she's been in surgery, but she was meant to be recovering for what amount. It's odd. The whole thing is very odd.

And she was seen in the car outside one of their palaces last week with her mum, which they took a picture of her, but none of the UK press printed it. And then on the weekend, the palace put out a photo of her and the three children on Mother's Day. I saw it. Yes, absolutely. What lovely photos. And everyone was like, oh, look, there she is. Isn't she sweet? Cut to a few hours later. The associated press, Reuters, a bunch of other people sent out a kill notification on the picture.

The reason for the killing the story at a closer inspection, it appears that the source has manipulated the image and no replacement photo will be sent. I don't get it. So what? So the photo has been like heavily photoshopped, right? In what way, like, just to make them look prettier? There's like a picture of her with the kids, her hands around the kids. She's got no engagement ring, no wedding ring on her. The zip on the front of her thing is like cut in half.

It literally looks like they have taken her head and put it on top on somebody else. Or at least that's what the sort of subtext, the internet subtext is. You'd think they'd do a better fucking job if they're going to put this bit. You would, wouldn't you? Anyway, so then everyone was like, holy shit. Where is Kate Middleton? Can somebody please, we need a video of her with today's newspaper. Otherwise, people are not going to be satisfied.

I mean, literally people think she's like in a dungeon being held against her will. Oh my God, they're so entom-oil. This is not a good time to lose Kate Middleton. But anyway, she or the palace have said, oh my God, it's a fake statement. Kate's photo apology. This is what she put up. Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday.

I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. It's like a robot talking. And that was put out on the Princess and Princess of Wales Instagram. Dodgy. Sus. What the hell is going on? Something's going on. Something is going on. Why would they refer to the edit? It's like, if you're going to, if this is going to be what you do, edit a picture, then again...

Yeah, the Associated Press initially published the photo which was issued by Kensington Palace, the AP later retracted the image because of closer inspection. It appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photos. Guidelines. Yeah, the photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand. Where do you think she is? Where could she be? Kate. I don't know. I mean, there... maybe she's really ill.

Maybe there's more to this stomach operation than meets the eye. Maybe she has left William. Who knows? Kate Middleton would never leave Prince William. Come on. Miquita, read a fucking newspaper seriously. Do you not know anything? I do. I do. I do. I just don't often read the Royal section. I prefer the arts and literature and the guidance. I'm not joking. Well, you know, I'm obsessed with power structures and, you know, the Royal...

Let's give her a say. Don't say the Royal family, the infrastructure of power. Yes, I do know. Yes. So, Holly reveals the study of that. Fucking, I'll take up your right, babe. I really do. Yeah, send us a message. Call us. Miss me. Miss me at BBC. Don't go. Okay. Kate, just... Do you can tell us what's going on? We're going to take a little break. We need a little break from each other already. Don't read just. Welcome back to Miss Me on BBC Sounds. Welcome back.

You're actually in America, so did you watch The Oscars? Because you can watch it at normal time. Civilized. Yeah. Barbie. Oh, God, who can? Was left out of the whole of The Oscars. I mean, apart from I'm just Ken. I love Greta Goig. But it's not really an Oscar-winning film. Well, it definitely wasn't. I don't think they want anything. What would you give it if you were going to give it an Oscar? I mean, I actually thought that Margot Robbie's performance was good.

I'm sad that she didn't get a nomination. I think that the thing I find interesting about that film and it was really shown in the awards season campaign is that the whole, it's a feminist movie, but the main sort of character arc is Ken's. Yes. So it's like, what made a film about a woman? But you've given the big storyline to the man and... What happens to Ken? You know, and he got nominations and she didn't. I mean, I guess maybe that's quite a meta of her, though, to do that.

Because that is what the world is like. And I guess the way that ultimately we can have as many women being feminists as we like, but until we get men on-side, it's not really. And maybe men can't be interested in a feminist story unless they're centered. Unless they're male centered narrative arc. Yes, because that film was a billion-dollar film. So it wasn't just women going to see it. No, it was hugely successful. I mean, I was very moved by that America Ferra speech.

Were you really moved by that speech? I thought it could have been written a lot better. I was in tears. Wow. You need to read some Maya Angelou. All right, relax. No, I mean, like, come on. My Oprah speeches are better than that. Okay, good for you. I'm just saying, I was moved by it. I can't tell. Maybe I was about to get my period or something. No, but it's interesting. What I'm saying is it's interesting. What moves you and what moves me, because that really didn't move me. I do.

I've more interested in the comeback of America Ferraira. Isn't that great? Like, she could have just been ugly Betty. And she took some time out. By the way, about like this. About that. Like, it's insane that America Ferraira was so pretty. No. It was like the lead in the program that ultimately was about somebody called... Ugly was in the name. Ugly Betty. And can I just say that the only thing that all they did was put her in glasses. And this was when I did T4.

We used to throw to Ugly Betty. So this isn't that long ago. Yeah. So the 90s. So nice. Ugly Betty. It's like the... It's like when you look at Bridget Jones' diary now, and she's talking about being fat. And you're like, sorry, what? I know. Where? I know. But I watched a friend's episode, and it is so homophobic. Like, ragingly homophobic. Shamelessly. Shamelessly. Oh, isn't it funny? But anyway, I haven't watched the whole thing, but I think I've seen enough. I think what I saw was enough.

But what I did watch was the Saga Awards, screen actors, Guild Awards. And of course, all actors and directors and writers have been on a strike for a really long time. So it was sort of nine months, it lasted. And they've just come back from it, getting what they want from their strike. And having their demands met. I don't know where they've had all their demands met, but some demands have been met. You tell me. Yeah, I mean, I think it was... It was like a...

Well, I know that because the writers Guild went on strike before the actors Guild did. So I think most of them were out of work for like eight months. I said, I think I know damn well they were, because my husband was sitting close up. Oh, come on, yes. How long was David at home? A long time. So the first it was the writers, then the actors in solidarity with the... No, the writers came to an agreement with their Guild and then Union.

And then the Screen Actors Guild went on a strike while they negotiated new terms. I think they have to renegotiate every three years. And so they... Well, there were a couple of sticking points in terms of like AI. Yeah, obviously. I mean, I'm with them. And residuals, you know, because the whole model's changed. So, you know, it used to be that like every time an episode of Friends was played on Dave, like they'd get, you know, I don't know, however many thousand pounds each their actors.

And that sort of doesn't really happen anymore with streaming. And so I think that they're trying to figure out new ways to be paid fairly, because you know, once something's on a streamer, people can go back and watch it as many times as they want. And the actors are not being reneumorated for that. So they all were striking about that. And I was going, this has been happening in music for 20 years. No one gives a shit. And also we don't have a union.

So the entire music industry doesn't have something like this that they... They do, but it just doesn't work. I don't know why, it just doesn't work. It's hard to get everybody on the same page. And it's hard to get people to stand up to, you know, the major labels and the streaming services in the same way.

And I think that it has a lot to do with the fact that when you work for a studio, so let's say you're, you know, doing a show for Netflix or Amazon Prime or HBO Max or whatever, you're signed on as an employee of that company for the term that you're filming and, you know, promotion. Whereas when you're a recording artist, you're not. You're a self-employed. So you are not protected, you know, in the same way.

There aren't the sort of same processes that you would go through in terms of, you know, HR, like you're not... Looked after. You're not an employee. You're self-employed. No. And you are licensed, basically. Because of everything that this industry has been through, there was just this real heart and love throughout this award ceremony. They also just Americans just do award ceremonies better than us. I think that they're... they find it easier to be... What is the right word?

Like, Gushy and... I think we're a little bit too aware of ourselves to just thank God and thank our families and cry and be overwhelmed. I feel like everyone's just a bit too stush here. In America, everyone's just like weeping and also it was just classily done. I don't know. It was just something a bit chic about the whole thing, which is not how I felt after watching the great awards. What about the BAFTAs?

Because it's interesting that you say that it's a cultural thing in terms of the countries that, you know, put these events on. Because I think that one of the reasons that I moved here is because I feel like it's a much more encouraging environment in which... To do well. You know, my children can thrive. And I feel like even just an example of that would be when I decided to do a play, even though I'd never acted before. And I certainly hadn't had... didn't have any experience in the theatre.

When I would tell Americans about it, they'd be like, oh my God, that's so exciting. You're going to learn so much, you're going to kill it. And then when I tell English people about it, they'd be like, a play. Have you ever done that before? Aren't you scared? Like, yeah. It's very... culturally, we're just very different. And so I think it's like an award ceremony where you were like meant to be vulnerable or needs not meant to be.

And in America, you know, you're vulnerable and emotional and proud of yourself. I'm deeply celebratory of every moment. Whereas in England, we have an attitude of like, yeah, well, so what is my... It's an award, like, don't you care, like, anyway. Oh God, if I was winning, it would be very American about it.

Someone told me, I read somewhere recently that some famous actress, I want to say like, it's Kate Winslet, but it might not be, keeps her Oscars in the sort of downstairs toilet in her house, so when she has dinner parties, people can go to the toilet and they can hold the Oscar and do their speech in the mirror. Oh, that's quite nice. That's quite nice, because if you see an Oscar, you want to pick it up.

Yeah, you feel like a lady like... I don't know, I'm like, I'm like, I've actually not done this. You've held something and said, whoa, I can't believe this is happening. So how was that? How did you feel about your speech? Well, you're going to be a best female at the Brits 2000. Well, actually, that one, I didn't know that I was going to win. Yes, hence the Annie wig. Yes, that was a surprise. And I wore a wig because I thought that they wouldn't be able to pick me out to get my losing face.

And then I only went and bloody won it. I didn't want it. And do you remember your speech? Did it go well? I can't remember. I remember I was high. Stop. Sorry, I was. I don't like going. I wouldn't want to be out of my head on a stage. No, I can absolutely tell you from experience that you probably shouldn't be high when you are accepting an award. Again, if I'd have known I was going to win that time, and usually they do tip you off, I wouldn't have been high.

Well, that's it, Lily, that's the end of our... The first episode of Miss Me. Ooh, that was fun. That was nice, wasn't it? Yeah, it was lovely. You probably talked to each other five times a week. So just talk to each other just twice because we will be back on Monday with questions from the world to us. Is it Lisanne Bitch? It's Lisanne Bitch. Lisanne Bitch? And we will have a theme. I actually haven't told you this theme, Lily. Tell me if you like it. Boys from the 90s. Jesus Christ.

That's boys from the 1990s. Great. Yeah. Can't wait. Yeah. Okay. Have you ever... I'll ask you on Monday. I feel like it's quite a niche subject and it's geared towards McHeter. I feel like you're going to have some stuff to say, and I'm not really. But that's fine. Well, look, see what they're doing. You can email us at MissMe at BBC.co.uk. I love having it.
