Hello and welcome to the extra helping of My Therapist Goes With Me with me, Vogue Williams
and Joanne McNally.
Go on Joanne, let's do our screen times.
But like my screen time looks like an iPad number.
It's like it just
it's relentless it just goes on for days it's so embarrassing mine comes up and actually i'm
surprised i'd even pretend to do it with you because like i don't know if i'd be able to tell
the truth about it it's so bad i know mine's like you've been on the phone for 26 hours a day i'm
like there's only 24 hours in a day how have I gone over they're like you've
literally created time you're you're so addicted when you're like oh I've no I'm rushed off my
feet today I have absolutely no time for anything and then I'm like oh but I had seven hours to be
on my phone but do you know what I'm so aware of it now like I find myself just mindlessly scrolling
but asking myself what are you doing do you you know what I mean? Like why are you watching
someone
squeeze a spot?
Who is this person?
Yeah pack a lunch
for a child.
You don't even have a child
Joanne.
Why are you watching
an Asian woman
relentlessly pack
her child's lunch box?
What is this bringing
to your life?
Nothing.
Nothing.
I love watching that
or I love watching people
like make food
that I would never
ever eat in a million thousand years but I love watching it. Sometimes I wake up in make food that I would never ever eat in a million
thousand years
but I love watching it
sometimes I wake up
in the morning
and watch you work out
with John Belton
while I'm in bed
I'm like what's this
little bitch up to now
what's she doing
what smug activities
is she up to
do you know what
actually this man
came up to me
in the park the other day
and he congratulated me for not being on the phone this man came up to me in the park the other day and he congratulated me
for not being on the phone
when I was with Theodore
in the park.
But like,
I'm like teaching,
I've taught him how to ride
his bicycle.
So like,
I'm like so fully invested
in that.
I'm like,
thank God he didn't see me
10 minutes ago.
He came up and congrat,
did he know you?
Or he just was like?
No,
he didn't know me.
He was like,
it's so nice to see a parent
like,
really looking at what their
child is doing and not, and not being on their phone all i
was thinking is he obviously only just saw me meanwhile you're busy selling gg to some leprechaun
bubble industry for like 60 grand
work bitch work
work it
work it or you're out
work like your mommy
they've got to listen
they've got to pay the wage
I do get out
like my brother's like
do you put money
into an account for them
I'm like yeah
mine
who's gonna have to
who's gonna have to
fund their lifestyle
it's a different vibe
over here
parents like
I mean they fund them
till they're like 30
ridiculous
that is so
someday Gigi's gonna come
knocking for that sweet cash
and you're gonna have to
explain to you
inject it into your face
and I wanna be there
when that day happens
I'm gonna take out
the holiday album
I'm gonna say
do you remember going here
no I know you don't
I am telling you now
I do not understand why any Jo have we discussed this before I don't understand why any parents bother
spending money on a child before they're 14 they don't remember anything I have no memories sorry
do you know what I will tell you like I am so jealous of like I have people in my life that
their their family still takes them away and pays for their holiday and pays for all their dinners.
And they're in their 30s and they still get whisked off.
So I'm like,
how the fuck are they on holidays again?
And then I'm like,
aha.
Really?
The parents are,
yeah, I know.
We were born into the wrong family.
We were.
My mum's kind of starting
to make strange suggestions that.
Like you take her away.
No, that I buy her an electric car.
John, you shouldn't have
Toured so much
She's gone
This is the thing
She's gone from me being like
Can I get you a bottle of wine
Not at all
Don't waste your money
To sending me links
To electric cars
And iPods
Just going to leave
This here
I'm not your sugar daddy
I'm your child
When's her birthday
imagine you got her
an electric
electric cars are not cheap
she was like
you buy me an electric car
and you can have the Volvo
are you
why
I want a sex life
I'm not driving around
in a Volvo
thanks
I'd be absolutely mortified
I'll drive the Volvo
on my way into assisted living
because that'll be like
I'll have given up the ghost
at that stage anyway
that's where you want
to live anyway
you're going to
like the first thing
you're going to do
once you stop touring
you're going to move
into your new house
buy yourself a stairlift
you're going to really
get yourself sorted
oh my god Jason Byrne
was telling me
the funniest story
I don't know if I could
I probably actually
probably shouldn't tell
around the pile
because it's his story
do you know I'm jealous
when I see that you're
out with Jason Byrne
he's great crack
but I'd be too shy
to go out with him.
I was always like,
he's one of the best,
not to blow smoke up his art,
well I suppose I am,
but he is,
he's one of the best.
Jo, do you know,
have you ever seen
Jason Byrne live?
I literally had him
on a pod the other day.
I recorded with him
the other day
and it's one of the funniest
recordings I've ever done.
He's a funny man.
We don't want to talk about
you cheating on us anymore,
right?
It's too full on
he's just
he's just talking about it
like it's normal life now
Joanne
who are you
well writing and recording
is the same thing in our book
who are you cheating on us with
I've got other bits
and bobs on
I gotta pay the bills
Jo
we invented you
okay
if it wasn't for us
you'd be fucking
serving grill
in the global canteen
so you want to watch yourself
because
this feels very
Notions 11
I heard you're working
with Joel Dommett
and Ricky Gervais
is it true?
Joel Dommett yes
Ricky Gervais no
I'd accept
I'd accept Ricky Gervais
if you could work
with someone like
anyone from Top Boy
I'd be very happy with that
Joanne have you watched
Top Boy
me and Spencer
are addicted
although
we watched the last episode
yesterday of the second series
and we thought
we had two more to go
I don't get it
is it like
Top Man for twinks
what is it
it's like
it's like
it's about like
gangs in East London
and stuff like that
like drug gangs
it's so good
I've realised
why I watch
all this old shit
and it's not shit
but at the moment
I'm watching
this very interesting documentary
about
the palace of Versailles
and I realised
it's firstly
absolutely fascinating
five stars
highly recommend
secondly I realised that
there's so much going on
that I find it quite soothing
to just watch documentaries
about a simpler time.
Even though
building Versailles was actually quite traumatic
because most people died
falling off the roof.
But it is just a simpler,
simpler time.
I don't know if it was a simpler time.
I don't think we would have survived that time.
Oh God.
For Jesus' sake, we'd be long dead
they loved killing each other
you would have died
you would have died in childbirth
like 28 years ago
oh
at least yeah
100%
em
I have got
fan
tastic news for you

Amanda Holden's pretty amazing
isn't she
god
her face
that's what she looks like
in real life as well
there's some people that you're like
yeah they don't look like that
in real life
but some of them do she does Leo does Sophie Jamie's girlfriend she looks like in real life as well. There's some people that you're like, yeah, they don't look like that in real life, but some of them do.
She does.
Leo does.
Sophie, Jamie's girlfriend just looks like she's walking around with the Paris filter on, but she's not because it's real life.
I know, we need one of those LED head torch things that she wears.
I won't after what I'm planning on my face for the next like four weeks.
Oh my God, I can't wait to see this.
Did you hear this, Jo?
She's getting full scaffolding brought in the whole kitten caboodle
everything
I'm going to look like
a different person
I'm going to look
very similar to that cat lady
she's getting a conservatory
put in the back of her head
a spiral staircase
between her tits
we're all absolutely delighted
I just got
do you know what
this is such a basic
thing to say
but like
it's a Monday morning
we're recording this pod
there's two things
that like have just
made my day already
Leo of Radcar
obviously I'm a little
bit disappointed
that he mailed you
do you know what actually
to be fair to Leo
right and I've always
gotten really good
vibes off Leo
you went fucking
sniffing around after him
so that's why he mailed you
right
no that's grand
whatever but
I
if he
if he hadn't
followed us back
that would have been
a giant snub
I don't know
what political party
he's with
but I would have found out
and not voted for him again
yeah oh my god
that is shocking
I was like
that's the last time
I vote for Sinn Féin
that is the last time
I vote for Sinn Féin
I don't know
if they're here
I wonder if Gerry Adams is on bloody Instagram Last time I voted for Sinn Féin, yeah. I don't know if they're here.
I wonder if Gerry Adams is on bloody Instagram.
Gerry Adams, he's Labour Party, isn't he?
Gerry Adams?
Yeah.
Boris Johnson represents River Island.
I know, I have all my facts.
I was saying to Joe earlier,
Boris Johnson's had some turnaround, hasn't he?
I mean, he broke the law and then off he goes to Kiev
and then everyone
forgets about what he did
did you see
he
Zelensky addressed the door
from a bunker in Ukraine
wearing like his
combat gear or shit
because
he literally is like
on the ground
like you know what I mean
he could be like
attacked at any time
and
it's just so
old school
sorry
did you not see when the
when the French
the French president Macron,
he starts trying to waltz out in all these t-shirts and stuff.
It's like, dude, you're not under siege.
Get the fuck back into your suit.
Where are you going?
100%.
I did a job with this really big, big, big company.
And this guy owns it.
He must be swimming in cash.
And he basically had this huge uh vip
event where he had to go in black tie blah blah he waltzes up he honestly might have still had
a hairbrush stuck in his hair somewhere hadn't brushed his hair little manky t-shirt on i think
that there's times when you have to like look nice and not look nice you can't be rocking around in
combat like i don't want a politician dressed like a 16 year old lesbian unless they're literally
going to war there's no other excuse for it
I went for a whopper run yesterday
how long?
I don't know
I lost the charge to my Fitbit
but I'm guessing
it was like
6k
that's not bad
when I say guessing
I'm getting back
into running
you know like
I have numerical dyslexia
so like
I walked up the hill
and ran down it
ah come on
running down a hill
Joanne
that's not running
yes it is
the wind was
the wind was
coming towards me
actually
it was quite a struggle
so then I got down
and I ate
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna diss your 6k
went on a date
and ate
60 kilos of carbs
and a bottle of white wine
I was like
don't worry about it
I kind of like
fannied around on the hill earlier
so I'm good
balance
it's all about balance
balance
okay listen
I'm gonna tell you yeah you
get to choose which email baby names what was his name a sexual death threat sexual death threat
yeah sexual death threat threat threat let's try and say it all together sexual death death threat
okay dear joanna v, I need serious advice
on how to reply
to an out-of-pocket
filthy text.
I've been texting
back and forth with a guy
I've met a couple of times
through mutual friends.
We've had some really
lovely and wholesome
conversations,
but he sent me
an alarmingly detailed
series of texts
the other night
about how he was going
to murder me
with his dick.
And I haven't spoken
to him since.
That's not acceptable.
I'm not a prude
I can handle a sexy text
but this is giving me serious
serial killer vibes
as a recovering Catholic
I like this girl
I feel like I'm being thrown
in the deep end
how do you respond
to a fella like this
all the best now
well
I mean
there's sex talk
and then like
I don't want to be told
you're going to kill me
with your dick
no there's sex talk
and then there's death threats.
Maybe it was a typo.
Maybe he was like,
I'm going to massage you
with my dick.
Maybe he didn't mean
to say murder.
Maybe it was...
I'd have a massage,
a dick massage.
There's really no excuse
for threatening to murder
someone with any part
of your body,
your genitalia included.
And how is he going to
kill you with the dick?
Well, he's just murdered the mood.
Tell him,
you've murdered the mood.
You've murdered the mood.
You've murdered the mood, you're gone.
Yeah.
What a weirdo.
Stop weaponizing your genitalia.
It's 2022.
Read the fucking room.
And that's the end of that.
What a blab.
Okay.
Hi there.
I've recently been introduced to your podcast
and I've been laughing along
whilst binging the episodes. I finally caught up and listened to MTGM Extra where you were
discussing baby names. It reminded me of a conversation I had with my midwife a few years
ago. I asked if she delivered a baby that had been named a ridiculous name. And she told me
that she had and that she actually intervened. A young woman came in and said her daughter's
chosen name. She said she'd heard it and liked it, how it sounded.
And it just rolled off the tongue.
The name, I hear you ask, fellatio.
It kind of does sound like a nice word.
Apparently, the young woman kept repeating it with an almost Italian twang.
And the midwife asked her
if she knew what it meant
the woman had no idea
the woman was apparently
completely mortified
the name meant
noshing off a bloke
I thought it was
the other thing
luckily the poor baby
was spared from a lifetime
of ridicule
thank you Sarah
that is so weird
like I've named her
fellatio after the Greek
god of gobble swallow
fellatio to be fair god of gobble swallow.
Felatio,
to be fair,
to be fair,
it's actually a gorgeous name.
It's a gorgeous word.
It is a nice word.
Yeah.
Felatio.
It's up there with bombastic.
Yeah.
Felatio,
bombastic.
I'm not saying blowy anymore.
I'm just going to ask if any of you would like
a Felatio.
Maybe that's what Felicity
is short for.
Yeah, just kind of like,
yeah, you're like,
I'm a grown woman now.
I don't say blowy anymore
no exactly
I'm not 14
like I'm a mother now
I say fellatio
okay
fellatio
I actually went to
that drag brunch
that I went to
and I asked people for like
loads of drag name suggestions
and the amount of emails
I got from people saying
don't bother
your name's Vogue Williams
and I thought
what you're actually not
you're not wrong
Joanne
if you don't go to the doctor
today honestly
yeah I think that's
I think that's the last of it there
thank you for listening
to the bonus episode
it's been me
Joanne McNally
and
Valacia Williams
just a little reminder
I'm on tour
in Ireland and the UK
I've Killarney dates on sale
Vicar Street's in Dublin's on sale
and all across the UK
and I'm also going to a place
called Yeovil
she's been practising
since last week
Yeovil
Yeovil
Yeovil
and Yeovil have not been
incredibly responsive
to my show
so if you know anyone in Yeovil
let them know I'm
coming in.
