This is a Global Player original podcast.
Hello. Can you hear that train outside?
Hi.
Hi.
Hello. Welcome to the bonus episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me
with me, Dara McNaughty and me, Bo Williams.
Me Boag Williams If you come back here
This house is your
Me casa, Sue casa
You own my room
Me bed, me bed
If I come home
And you're already staying
In my house and hoath
You can kick me out
There you go
That's a real thing
That's what we want
I just read this thing
If anyone tries to get into our bed,
I will fucking kick off.
John, there's not a hope in hell
he's coming anywhere near our sheets.
No.
Disgusting.
You're in the den in the back, you pig.
Did you see Spenno's post?
This is when I knew I was turning into a comedian,
but I don't have comedic rights.
So it's very,
it's very,
comedians are very snobby.
There's a lot of people working as comics
that other comedians don't believe
are entitled to be doing so.
They're like,
they didn't do their time in the clubs.
They didn't do their time.
But sometimes I believe I can get away with a remark
when actually I need to put myself back in the box
of I am not a comedian. I can't it so he did a lovely post there is no lane fat
enough to keep you in it there is no end to your abilities and talents there is no lane
I'll tell you what happens your line go on Spenny did an amazing post the other night I don't know
if you saw it it was about that every day he's getting women are commenting on his appearance and being like are you okay
like la la la all these kind of things and like he was like i'm fed up of it like this is the
best i've ever felt i'm really healthy nobody had all these comments when i was like um an alcohol
an overweight alcoholic blah blah blah yeah and he'd written this, all this.
That's actually really funny.
But he'd written this whole lovely post,
and I was like, that's such a nice post.
And it was like,
and all these women just asking me if I'm okay.
And I was like, oh my God, don't do it,
don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
All I wanted to write underneath it was,
are you okay?
Are you okay, hon?
That's funny.
And I couldn't I couldn't
No
But you know why
He's getting so much abuse
You could
Why?
Because
No because
I have a real soft spot for him
I feel
When he does a post like that
It's coming from
An authentic place
I think he is
Quite hurt
That he's getting
All these comments
About his appearance
But the reason he is
Is because
You've opened him up to that
Ultimately it is your fault You've opened him up to that.
Ultimately, it is your fault.
You've made him the butt of so many of your jokes that now everyone else is piling on.
You've now put yourself to blame.
I don't want their anger redirected at me.
Thank you very much.
So you will take that back immediately.
We don't deal with accountability with that joke.
I thought you were going to say,
he's getting all these comments
because he hasn't been spending enough time with Dr. Ewan.
I was going to agree with you.
No.
Listen, you know,
I am a big fan of the slimy cereal killer look.
Like it's literally my chef's kiss.
That's my, that's my most.
His body has never looked better.
And I'm surprised he's getting that many comments.
But I mean, you have to agree with Natasha.
It's a bit frightening for me.
Natasha is a bit frightening. So just to flag, there's some traffic noise coming. But I mean, you have to agree with Natasha. It's a bit frightening for me. Natasha's a bit frightening.
Sorry, just to flag,
there's some traffic noise
coming in because
I'm in Chicago
and the hotel,
the Wi-Fi in the hotel
isn't good.
So I've opened the windows
to let it in.
So I said,
before you came on,
I was saying to Joe,
I was like,
what is that noise?
And I was like,
it's the Wi-Fi coming in
through the window,
if you must know.
Is that coming up
from Lake Michigan as you were calling it earlier? Michigans. Yeah, it's coming up Through the window If you must know Is that coming up From Lake Michigan
As you were calling it earlier
Michigans
Yeah it's coming up
From the Lake Michigans
Which is just to the right there
By the silver bean
I swam in that lake
Are you sure
That just wasn't the pool
In your family home and house
No
I gave the song
I'm not giving the pool
Neil's too tight
To bring on all days
He's like yes folks
We're in Lake Michigan
Keep going babe
Keep paddling away there
When you're older
Tell your mates
Did you swim in Lake Michigan?
Michigan
I did swim in
Lake Michigan
I told you I was a
Chicago native
For three
Three or four weeks
One year
Oh of course
Yes yes yes
I forgot about
Yeah
Forgot about the time
You lived in Chicago
For three days
Yeah
Oh there it is I did We lived in the time you lived in Chicago for three days. Yeah.
Oh, there it is.
I did.
We lived in the,
see Wi-Fi coming in.
I like that noise.
It brings a nice ambience.
Doesn't it?
I'm walking here.
I'm walking,
I'm walking or working, Jo?
I'm walking here.
I'm walking,
I'm walking here.
Yeah, I'm walking here.
Yeah.
I just had to listen for a noise there.
My auntie Naomi is up here
because she gladly
she kindly picked her up from the airport
and she
and she's like
I'm like I'm just doing a podcast now
I think she's in there playing
the kids piano
I'm not
I'm not even joking
she's like now it seems like a really good time
she's meant to be doing her French homework
sound is the most important part of the whole thing
but now it seems like a good time
to bang out an old tune
she told me she was going in there
to do her French homework
that woman has been doing French lessons for 15 years
I said to her today have you improved
nope
it's very hard unless you're on the ground
no you have to be
Living over there
It's why
When I was living in Chicago
I came home
With a Chicago accent
I would believe that
Sign of a music
Oh there it is
Coming in
Look
Here's the wifi
Can you hear it
It's a long one
It's a long bit of wifi
There we are
Here I want to ask you
About something
Eva Mendez
Eva Mendez
What do you call her
Eva
She just goes
We had a non-verbal agreement
that I would be a stay-at-home mum.
Did you read that?
Just staying at home,
getting railed by Ryan Gosling every day.
Jesus Christ.
Sorry now, Jo.
Sorry, Jo.
Sorry if you're not able to handle
my female sexuality.
It's not my problem.
I agree with her.
I think that sounds like a fantastic life to have.
I'd just lie there and be like a fantastic life to have, really.
I'd just lie there and be like, when are you back?
Yeah.
Yeah, when are you back?
When are you coming back, Ken?
Yum.
I'm ready.
I'd even wear nice knickers every day.
Same, same.
I would, yeah.
Wink, wink.
There'd be no period.
There'd be no period kn'd be no no period knickers
that you just couldn't
bear to throw away
it's fine
they'll be fine
nothing grey
in that wardrobe
yeah
I mean it's Eva Mendes
I'd say she just
kind of menstruates
glitter
it's kind of sexiness
yeah
she's not
I was gonna say
she's very glowy
we tried to send her
some bare by vote
glow stuff
and she doesn't need it
she just is a glow
no
did you try
did you try
jeez I almost sent her
a metallic bag
did you send her
she won't want anything
she's
Eva has the life
that we all want to be living
can you imagine being at home
when she's two kids
so that's like at a level
that you can handle
I'd say she definitely
has a cleaner
probably a housekeeper
and then Ryan Gosling just comes home and then when she wants me time he's gone away in
a movie set making her millions of dollars thrilled yeah she's like put on your roller
skates I'm done with you now and just pushes him out the door off he goes weee back into town
hey Vogue and Joanne
I feel like there's
a conversation to be had
about the man baby phenomenon
how do they exist
how do they sustain themselves
how do they function
day to day
why do we keep
having sex with them
oh
I met a guy
after chatting on the apps
for a bit
one eventful
but enjoyable date
passed
no flags
on the second date I dropped the act that I wasn enjoyable date passed. No flags. On the second date
I dropped the act
that I wasn't going
home with him.
I 100% was
because he had
huge sexy hands.
It's a thing.
Well I have huge
sexy hands as well
thank you very much.
No Vogue
you just have
huge hands.
There's a huge
huge difference.
Your hands make no sense.
Stop waving them around.
It's disgusting.
Go on.
They're taking up the whole screen.
Imagine when I dance at raves.
I just block the DJ for everyone.
You must know.
I mean, you've never been offered a hand collab.
You know that in yourself.
In your heart of hearts, you know there's a reason for that.
Joanne, not even that.
When I have gone to do certain ads
right i'm not joking you they have had a hand model there so it wouldn't be my hands in the
show are you joking yeah no i'm serious well i think that's because hand modeling is like its
own thing it's like its own genre of modeling but that is also insulting to you yes i wasn't really that insulted because
i kind of got it you know what i mean yeah it's obvious i'm surprised i haven't gotten someone in
with a smaller mouth thank god even your wedding photos the close-ups of the ring it's someone else
spence is like someone else's hand for the close-ups please especially my wedding photos
yeah spence is like we can't use our real hands in the first wedding this is the problem in the someone else's hand for the cloud subs please especially my wedding photos yeah
Spencer's like
we can't use our real hands
in the first wedding
this is the problem
in the first wedding
we used the real hands
and they basically
we ruined all the pictures
so we couldn't actually
use the pictures
because my hands
just took up the whole shot
so the second time round
we decided to go
with a hand model
even the photographer
is like
I have all the Photoshop apps
but even they
can't handle this.
They just collapsed.
I must show you
the wedding pictures
of Sveni and I in Scotland.
We had this lovely lady
who was,
I don't know,
what's it called,
officiating,
who was marrying us,
basically.
But she had this
huge,
big mop of curly hair
in every single picture.
All you could see, like, behind my head was this big outline of curly hair. In every single picture, all you could see,
like behind my head,
was this big outline of curly hair.
And there was nothing we could do about it.
Like they were all there.
But the photographer didn't think to say,
like, all of your pictures
are just going to have this lump of hair in them.
And now we've just got hair pictures.
A different type of bride now
would have asked her to shave her head.
I've read stories.
I was a pregnant bride.
I'd already fucked up,
so it didn't matter.
Yeah, you're like,
let's just get this done.
Quickly sign the papers.
Deliver it.
Okay, please,
back to the emails.
Sorry.
He was absolutely...
He probably could get himself out of the marriage
if he wanted to.
He'd had half a bottle of whiskey before the wedding.
He was really bad that day.
There was no consent there,
but let's not focus on that.
You're bad to a multimillionaire.
Say nothing.
Everyone look, nothing to see here
everyone look ahead
stop looking over here
keep smiling
keep fucking smiling
mom
smile mom
you're like roofying
your own husband
at the wedding
just in case he comes to
and realises what's happened
he did get a fright
when he gave up the booze
it wasn't the booze fright
he got a fright when he saw me and booze it wasn't the booze fright he got a fright
when he saw me
and I was still there
he was like
what the fuck
oh well
it is what it is
night time activities
took place
and they were as average
as any first time
roll around to the morning
and he's up at 6am
for work
great
I politely followed him downstairs and watch him eat a disgusting bacon roll he offered me nothing
oh my god that is so rude that is so rude but wait to hear this then his mother let herself
in with his lunch box for work oh my god she gave it to him kissed him on the lips and then left like he was a little
school boy this was a man in his early 40s with an actual job we haven't seen each other since
it was a mutual ghosting lord let the next one be a real adult now i haven't had now i can't
really call spenny a man baby because he just gets other people to do stuff for him like not necessarily his mom he'll just pay away the problem
he's just resourceful really
I guess
and willing to delegate
he's a delegator
sorry your mom making your lunch
for work it's not even a special
picnic event it's just like the day
that's just like the normal day to day behavior
that is
your mom sending you to work with a cheese drink get a life event. It's just like the day, that's just like the normal day-to-day behaviour. That is gross.
Your mom's sending you to work with
a cheese drink. Get a life
fucking loser. She might as well
just ripped her brow off and fucking breastfed
him in front of his one night stand.
Disgusting. In that situation,
rightly or wrongly,
I do feel
the mother has a role
to play there as well.
Like there comes a stage
where surely you have to say
you need to fend for yourself here.
I would say that's mostly down to the mother.
Like I was only,
I was talking to Sven about this recently
and Alexander has friends, right?
And he's one friend who's so lovely,
but like the friend moved to London
and like when he went home,
like eight months later,
his mom was like,
have you washed this towel?
Like he didn't even know
that you had to wash a towel.
So he'd been using the towel after every shower I just thought because he was clean the towel was clean
it's like how did you not teach him that hold on that's actually that's actually that's actually
not a bad take on it Joanne's gonna only wash your towel every three weeks now that actually
makes complete sense to me if I'm clean what's what's the problem? That's the cleanest I'm
ever going to be throughout the day.
That's actually a really good angle.
You don't get rid of all the particles.
You don't get rid of all the particles.
This is really...
This guy's ahead of his time.
Who is he?
My mum, Todd Alexander.
I think me and him could be really happy together
Hey what perfume are you wearing?
Eau de Damp
Like it just seemed rotten
Smell of crust
Oh that'll be me
Yeah
There's a smell like old dust
Me
Me
But that makes sense Anyway look Trust me. Me.
But that makes sense.
Anyway, look.
My mum taught Alexander how to make a spaghetti bolognese, right?
And I kid you not, right?
He was over, he was living over here down at my mum's house.
And he was like, I'm off to make my food for the week.
I was like, oh, cool.
What are you making?
He goes, spaghetti bolognese.
And I was like, and what else?
He was like, just spaghetti bolognese.
And I was like, so when do you eat it?
He had spaghetti bolognese from Sunday lunchtime for every meal until Thursday.
And it was lunch and dinner, spaghetti bolognese the whole time.
And then he'd treat himself to a takeaway on Friday
and then it was back to spaghetti bolognese.
But that to me just screams consistency, which I think is a great thing to have.
Like I would eat the same thing now over and over and over.
Ah, so would I.
I don't see the point in spicing up your dinners like that.
Like I'd be on Aldo's side there now.
Yeah, but you'd eat a chicken salad for your whole life.
Like that's all you'd eat that every day till the day you die.
Look, I was very impressed before I came to America.
I batch cooked a chicken sirfie,
which is in the freezer now at home.
And I keep thinking about it.
God, I'm very surprised.
We're taking it back, Joanne.
You have to let us know when you're going to say something like that.
It's really, it's...
I know.
Sorry, I should have put a trigger warning on this joke.
Joanne cooked!
I was...
While I was doing it, I was like,
what is this?
What's happening?
It's very therapeutic to cook.
I love cooking.
There's another brass going in here.
I guess this is batch cooking.
Is that what this is?
Dear Vogue, Joanne and Jo.
Newish listener, love the pot.
I'm having an internal crisis and I need some help.
I'm 23 and my boyfriend and I of five years,
we were together since we were 17,
broke up six months ago.
I moved abroad for one year for work and we broke up three months in. It wasn't so much
the distance that came between us. It was more like we were on different paths. I was
living my new life abroad and he was stuck at home doing the same old. We were having
problems before I moved away, fighting over silly things and just not being kind to each
other. To be honest, I think we both needed time apart to deal with our own personal issues
before we could be good to each other like we deserved.
God, this is...
Yeah, very grown up for...
I'm a mature 23-year-old, isn't it?
Wow.
Yeah.
I'd be back here in his car even if I broke up with him.
I'd be like, you'll suffer.
But I loved and still love him so much
and he was my best friend
and I cannot picture my future with anyone else
no matter how hard I try.
I very much feel like it's a right person,
wrong time situation.
Wow.
So my problem is that I feel like
I'm finding it hard to move on
because I feel like in my head
I'm thinking that we will eventually get back together
once we are both okay, in inverted commas.
I've kissed a fair few lads and done some extras.
Only slept with one guy.
It was awful, of course. I want to move on, lads and done some extras. Only slept with one guy. It was awful.
Of course.
I want to move on but I also want to be with him.
Please help.
Well, hold on a sec.
Let me just read.
So,
you only broke up six months ago.
That's nothing.
I wouldn't be expecting
to be any further along
in your journey than that.
You're actually quite far along,
I think.
And you seem to be very
emotionally intelligent
and kind of self-aware. And you, like, that's very far along I think and you seem to be very emotionally intelligent and kind of self-aware
and you like
that's very impressive
I think
I think as well
and not to sound condescending
because of your age
but I think that like
if like
let's say for instance
you were my child
which
could I have you
could I have
possibly
if you were my child
yeah
no
I know I couldn't have had you
she could be my child
I was quite an early
starter anyway humble brag over what age were you what age were you like 10 first year in school
i was three months old whatever anyway anyway not to sound condescending for your age but let's say
you were my child what i would say to you is i think it would be really nice to go and like live
a life outside of this person and what's nice to go and like live a life outside
of this person and what's meant to be will always find a way and I think that when you're 23 you
should really go and just enjoy yourself you're away now like I remember when I lived in Australia
and I didn't enjoy myself and then when I went back with you Joanne I was like I absolutely
love this place and I was kind of disappointed that I hadn't made more of an effort when I lived
there last time to really enjoy it so wherever you are go enjoy it go out explore of course when you sleep with somebody
for one night stand it's never going to be that great just keep trying yeah especially when you're
still in you're still connected to someone else that's the thing yeah sometimes the rebound thing
you kind of force yourself you're like oh I need to get back I need to do this to you hope that
the sex with someone else will break the connection with the previous person
but sometimes
it has the opposite effect
it actually just makes you
miss them more
because you have this
because sex with no intimacy
is a different experience
to sex with intimacy
so when you're
when you're in love with someone
the sex is different
when you've sexed a stranger
you're like oh my god
I've never felt so empty inside
this is what I would say as well
when you
I had a breakup
I've had loads of breakups.
Two of them, I thought to myself,
I will never recover from these.
This will just be, I will just be damaged from this.
I will live my life and I will go on and survive,
but I will always want to be with that person ultimately.
And you know what?
I don't anymore at all.
It just takes time
Everything heals
It just does
You just
I know time
It's really
It's really frustrating advice
Because
There's no shortcuts
You just have to
Go through it
And be nice to yourself
Yeah be nice to yourself
Because you're actually doing really well
But be nice to yourself
But just remember
Really well
Treat it
Treat it as a new experience
Go out
Enjoy
Like you're 23
You're like
You're not old and battered Like Joanne and I experience go out enjoy like you're 23 you're like you're not old and battered
like Joanne and I
so go and enjoy yourself
exactly
you're a life out of you
you know what I mean
and you're
also
it's
when you're away
you can also get a bit homesick
but you
but you obviously had the sense
to know
that you're a bit young
to be in a relationship
that serious because you're away and you're trying new experiences and stuff it's just
time I guarantee I cannot say this enough I've been there I thought I'd never get over them I'm
over both of them and sure I thought I'd marry all my ex-boyfriends and I only married a couple of
them but I thought I'd marry all of them so you know I know she only married half of them yeah how stupid would I god my first boyfriend when he broke up
with me every seven minutes I was convinced that getting pregnant with his child would be the
solution for the two of us because I was so now that's different you and this guy
obviously you're like
look what's wrong time
right people wrong time
I was like
oh he's the right guy
this is the right time
I'm willing to
completely
tie myself
to this man
for the eternity
by having his child
I can tell you now
I'm pretty fucking glad
I didn't
oh my god
stop
I know
imagine me here
in Chicago
with a 14 year old.
Where's Chicago?
Chicago, do you mean?
Chicago, obviously, yeah.
Where you used to live?
Michigan.
Everyone's asking for you here about.
They're all like,
where's Vogue?
She used to live here.
Oh my God, I know, yeah.
And with that,
we are going to say goodbye to you.
