Literally this over and over again.She grinds on my gears mystery topics rotate between periods, throwing shade at friends and her her ex, her house or seeking validation from the lads.
I love how open the 2 of them are about therapy - such an important thing to speak on, especially for men.I could be on my own here but Johnny B spoke well on the mystery topic this week about deleting photos of an ex. He was more relatable and mentioned his therapist. I liked his take on it anyway!
Really think he’s just a private person and a bit “different” to most so people don’t know what to make of him. Smacks is more open and comfortable in his own skin (possibly from being in a secure relationship for so long). From snippets here and there lately I feel JB is having a hard time. Maybe he’s realising he’s going for the wrong women constantly and trying to figure out what he wants for his personal life. I’ve even felt a bit of sadness in him recently. I think he might be lonely?I could be on my own here but Johnny B spoke well on the mystery topic this week about deleting photos of an ex. He was more relatable and mentioned his therapist.

Would ye not just set up a separate Maura thread?
This thread has been mostly Maura, Brenda or Julie the last while for the negativity....
Anyhow, I didn't get to listen to all the pod today, got as far as Done Deal I think.
Has Mrs Smacks ever been on the podcast at all? She sounds great.
How ironic you give out about others discussing people that aren't the 2Js, then ask about the wife of one of themRant or rave, matters not.
Simply stating that most of the thread is Johnnyless.
Absolutely. Great that they normalise it especially when they would have quite a large young male following.I love how open the 2 of them are about therapy - such an important thing to speak on, especially for men.
I think that Johnny B is having a bit of a rough time too. Of course relationships are not the be all and end all of life but I myself was single until I was 38 and there's lot of pressure in society, marriage, house, kids etc. Which I'm sure is 10 times worse when you're in the spotlight. It was good to hear them open up a bit. As much as Maura annoys me at times, it's a massive achievement to have built her house on her own. I would imagine they're both doing a lot of soul searching at the moment and it would be hugely difficult to do that and have such publicised break ups too. I suppose what I'm getting at is I too felt sorry for them after this weeks podcast. On another note, I'm far from a prude but was happy to hear less of the filth talk this week!Really think he’s just a private person and a bit “different” to most so people don’t know what to make of him.

We can all relate or know of someone who pick wrong partners or unhappy in their personal life. Hope he gets it together, looks like he’s actively working on himself.
Maura’s breakup obviously hitting her hard too. She’s 40 this year, just finished her house and I’m sure she didn’t anticipate her long term relationship ending.
I know this isn’t a rave thread but find both Maura and JB get way too much stick for their love lives not working out. It’s very harsh! I feel sorry for them both in that regard.
Totally agree! Can you imagine if Maura and JB ended up together!?Absolutely. Great that they normalise it especially when they would have quite a large young male following.

Imagine after all this time, the love of his life was sitting across from him in Pat Fox StudiosTotally agree! Can you imagine if Maura and JB ended up together!?
Same here, channel four did a bit of an expose on them, dodgy as. I wouldn’t touch them and am disheartened so many podcasts are advertising for them. Best way to find a therapist is through one of the governing bodies such as IACP but this doesn’t seem to be general knowledge..I only know as my friend is training as a therapist!Slightly off topic but I am disappointed that they are sponsored by Betterhelp. They don't seem like a great company and so many influencers have discount codes which is always iffy. Lots of positive reviews online have affiliate links.
I hope he is seeing a proper therapist and not Betterhelp. His mate Trisha uses them but honestly, she needs in-depth in-person treatments.
Did anyone else pick up on Smacks saying he has cut out family members from his life too,
It was towards the tail end of Mauras topic right before the car analogy he made Smacks said something like "I've done it with family members...deleted photos...gone". Maybe it was just a throwaway remark but I thought maybe more to itI have to admit, I missed that, what was the context of him saying that again ?
