hello and welcome to the bonus episode of my therapist goes with me with me
bug williams and joanne mcnally indeed
um okay we've got some emails thought i'd share one of my favorite overspending stories after
hearing that amber spent 220 pounds on ja I live... Jaeger is so disgusting.
Gross.
I live in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam as a PE teacher
and I've been here with my husband.
I'm English, he's a dub, not as posh as you girls.
He's from Ballyfermit.
For the last seven years,
we had our daughter Niamh here last year.
That's nice.
They lived there for seven years.
The currency here is Vietnamese dong.
Yes, dong. And we get paid in millions. £30 is basically one million. that's nice they lived there for seven years the currency here is Vietnamese dong yes dong
and we get paid
in millions
30 pounds
is basically
one million
this is all great
until you go to a
bottomless brunch
at Christmas time
I just wouldn't have thought
they would have had
like bottomless brunches
your geopolitical takes
on things
or your geographical takes
are very funny
we need to put that
we need to put a blooper
together of all the sweeping statements she makes about countries that's a blo funny we need to put that we need to put a blooper together of all the sweeping statements
she makes about countries
that's a blooper we need to see
would you have thought
that they have bottomless brunches
in Vietnam
of course they do
everywhere
bottomless brunch
it's a global phenomenon
it could be a bucket lunch
bottomless buckets
you know those buckets you get
anywhere they can make
fucking money
countries are going to have
a bunch
bottomless brunch
at Christmas time.
Drink your body weight
and champagne.
Ooh, champagne.
And then think ordering
a round of 11 G&Ts
and 11 Jager bombs
is a great idea.
I spent 11 million
on that round,
which is 375 pounds.
How did you spend
375 pounds in Vietnam on booze? Oh my God, which is £375 how did you spend £375
in Vietnam
on booze
oh my god
I wouldn't be able
to accept this
who is this woman
tell her to DM me
Laura I love her
I've never told my husband
and I was very cheap
on the Christmas presents
that year
she literally spent
her Christmas present
money on booze
anyway we're moving
to Kenya in August
my mum says Kenya
that's wrong isn't it
Kenya
are you reading that she says no my actual mum says Kenya. That's wrong, isn't it? Are you reading that she says?
No, my actual mom says Kenya.
No, that's completely wrong.
In August.
So if I have any other moment of madness
with the Kenyan,
chilling, I'll let you know.
Please do, Laura.
And well done.
Laura, that was very good.
Thank you very much.
I actually trolled my mom the other day.
I thought you would have liked it.
You wouldn't have seen it
because you're on holidays.
She was put up this post.
She got sent a bottle of champagne
and she's like, I am having a lovely
afternoon drinking my champagne I was like what's this bitch drinking champagne in the afternoon
and the way she pronounced the champagne she went into this mad French accent and
he was like that's that's wrong champagne yeah
you know that apparently it's I know that like I mean I can't we can't just spend the whole And Svenny was like, that's wrong. Champagne. She's like, I love champagne.
Oh, God.
You know that apparently it's, I know that like, I mean,
we can't just spend the whole podcast talking about champagne.
But Moet, you know it's Moet.
Moet, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that people call it Moet.
I used to call it Moet as well.
But it's got a little umlaut on the E.
An umlaut.
How do you know the word umlaut?
I did German in school.
Oh, I haven't been reading enough books.
I have another book
that I'm about to start tomorrow.
I'm telling you,
we need to start
a little book club
and then we could talk
about the books in the pod.
It'd be great.
But we all have to read
the same book
and then I'll be judged
on how quickly I finish a book.
How quickly do you finish a book?
Oh, it really depends.
I was actually reading
a good book,
so someone sent me
because my agency,
my Irish agency,
they do,
I think my writing agency actually
called like
The Truth About Love
by this guy
Connor Creighton
I was reading it
it was a very interesting
book I left it on the
beach in Barcelona
unfortunately
oh no that's so annoying
I know
but anyway
I just read
what's that thing
called Conversations
With Friends
I did like that
that's very good
it is a good book
isn't it
it's just
it's kind of
it's not like
you're not gonna
like die of the
twists and turns
but like I actually it's slow she writes slow it's Sally Rooney isn't it? It's just, it's kind of, it's not like you're not going to like die of the twists and turns,
but like I actually really... It's slow.
She writes slow.
It's Sally Rooney, isn't it?
She writes very slow.
I love her style of writing.
It's like, it's just quite,
I don't know.
It's very relaxing to read her books.
Yeah.
Some writers, they kind of,
everything's really descriptive.
Yeah.
You know, the bike bobbed
along the brickly road.
Sometimes there's too much description for me
and I'm like, I can't.
You've lost me.
I started...
That's a quote I should have put on your book. Too much description for me and I'm like I can't you've lost me that's a quote I should have
put on your book
too much description
to be honest
it's too late
the book is done
I have to do those
signing things
and like
so I have a thousand
of them to do on Friday
and I have to do
I have to sign them all
but I don't have a signature
my signature's different
all the time
same I don't have a signature
either you need to get
you need to get like a stamp
I wish I had a signature I think it'd be so cool I still my signature still looks like I'm signing I don't have a signature either you need to get like a stamp I wish I had a signature
I think it'd be so cool
my signature still looks
like I'm signing
the front of a copy book
in sixth class
or sixth year maybe
yeah mine's just a squiggle
yeah
okay one more email
well we might do two
who knows
gals I'm a huge fan
you're both gals
oh that's nice
that I am too
straight to the point
I'm planning on proposing
to my Irish boyfriend
I'm Australian I love that I want to know if you could give me some advice on proposing to my Irish boyfriend I'm Australian
I love that
I want to know
if you could give me
some advice
on how to avoid the ick
should I do this in public
should it be a big gesture
or something small
all my friends have done
big public display
and the thought of this
is sending me
between the two of you
I know you've been proposed
to 17 times
so I feel like you might
be able to give me
some pearls of wisdom
I have to be honest
neither of mine
were that great.
I only know about the Lion King one.
You know, he wanted to go,
it was when he proposed to me at the Lion King in London,
which is an amazing show,
if you haven't seen it, it is actually amazing.
And he goes to them,
can I get up at the end and propose?
And they were like, no,
like it's a performance on the West End.
No, you can't just take over the stage.
And I actually was like, do you think I would have liked that to have sat in my seat and have somebody be like, oh, I don't even remember what he said.
It's like, and the other one was even worse.
How did he do it in the end then?
So we got to go.
I was violently ill with morning sickness as well.
Yes, I got married after I had a baby.
Whore. Yeah, yeah yeah absolutely gutter slut um i so we went backstage to meet the end of my nails are fucked
i hadn't got them done or anything like that we went backstage to meet the cast and like i really
wanted to meet scar and then i was fucking dumped with simba and i didn't want to meet him i wanted
to meet scar anyway we went backstage met the cast and crew Simba if you're listening
I'm sure she didn't mean that
sorry Simba
but you're no Scar
and we went backstage
and then like
they had put like this
thing
and then he just like
got on with Ian
and proposed
but I was like
it's so funny
that he wanted to get up
at the end
in the West End
here back to Mike
yes
I wouldn't
I've totally forgotten
what was the question
would you do
a big gesture
or something small
I think something small
on your own
like just
I don't know
why do you need
why does it need to be
a big gesture
like I think
I wouldn't like
the attention
it would make me
no I wouldn't like
the attention
and people clapping
and stuff like that
it would be embarrassing
Joe what did you do
oh good question.
Sainsbury's car park
in Streatham.
Don't do that.
What?
Was it,
was it,
she just tested positive
for a child or something?
She just came out of boots?
He really likes Sainsbury's.
We told you he's got
a nectar card, remember?
Oh, for God,
I made that.
He's like,
I've taken you to
the most special place.
But she wasn't expecting it.
Yeah.
That is true.
I love you.
I love Sainsbury's.
Yeah, I love Sainsbury's.
I love my nectar cards.
Save myself a few bobbins.
Sainsbury's is pretty bougie, by the way.
Well done.
Not doing all right.
Not cheap in there.
Just below a car.
You're doing all right, are you?
Cut him off.
What's he getting paid?
No, no, no.
Is that coming out of our pocket?
Still need more. What was I going to say? cut him off what's he getting paid no no no is that coming out of our pocket so mean boy
what was I going to say
you know a public
proposal now
would kind of
wouldn't
I wouldn't enjoy that
now I have to say
no because it's meant
to be a nice moment
between the two of you
and I just think
it might just be
a little tiny bit
embarrassing
and it's
I don't know
I want another proposal
I didn't like the last one
I think spending
needs to do a little
yeah well if you do
get around to renewing those vows.
Like, a renewing vow is not something you do when you're, like, 60.
Ah, yeah.
Or you've been through a really hard time, or you've had, like, do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
You've had a divorce and you've come back together, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I'd nearly get divorced just to do that.
Because I quite like Spencer.
I'm going to keep him.
Yeah.
So I think I could do a divorce and then get married again.
He's definitely in the mix for the forever husband. He's in the mix. Mm-hmm. We don't want to let him know Yeah. So I think I could do a divorce and then get married again. He's definitely in the mix for the forever husband.
He's in the mix.
We don't want to let him know that.
No.
One more?
Sure.
Tune.
One more tune.
Hi Joanna Bogue.
I have a dating dilemma
and I thought,
who better to give some advice?
Not us.
I recently broke up
my boyfriend of two years
who I was very much in love with.
It was sudden
and didn't end well.
Long story short,
he was a massive prick.
Anyway,
fair enough.
Fast forward two months,
I've met this great guy,
oh wow,
who I really like
and we've been dating
for a month now,
all going really well
until last night. I've recently started talking in oh wow who I really like and we've been dating for a month now all going really well until last night
I've recently started
talking in my sleep
a lot
for unknown reasons
now
well last night
new guy was staying over
and this morning
I have this vague recollection
of shouting out
I love you
in the middle of the night
to which he responded
immediately
what?
the worst part is
I can't remember it all
and the rest of the conversation
that followed
my declaration of love
obviously I'm not in love with the new guy after dating for one month I must have been dreaming about my ex The worst part is I can't remember it all and the rest of the conversation that followed my declaration of love.
Obviously, I'm not in love with the new guy after dating for one month.
I must have been dreaming about my ex.
I'm absolutely mortified.
I don't know how to play it.
Should I say nothing and let him think I'm a stage five clinger or tell him I'm probably still in love with my ex?
Oh, God.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Everyone calm down.
You don't need to tell him you're still in love with your ex.
Do not do that.
No, no.
Don't tell him you're still in love with your ex do not do that no don't tell him you're still in love with your ex
I would probably bring it up
you're asleep
you could say it was about anyone
it was about your parents
or your siblings
or that you don't even know
you're like it's dream talk
it's nonsense
I hate to sleep talk
I was told
a guy told me
he loved me
in the throes of something
and he was like
I didn't mean it
like we both just
were like
what was that and I think he thought I think didn't mean like we both just were like what was that
and I think he thought
I think we were
had like taken a drink
and I think he kind of
thought he was with his ex
oh
stop
I think that's what happened
yeah
only after when I was like
what was that about
that I was like
oh yeah
because you know
sometimes people talk about their ex
and you kind of know
like they're not
over it yet
and that was the situation
with him
and then he was like,
I love you.
And we both just went,
oh!
No, no, no, no.
Deny this down to the hilt.
And of course,
you're still in love
with your ex on some levels.
Some people just,
sometimes your exes
just get under your skin
for longer than they should,
but you'll eventually get over him.
And actually,
this guy will help you
get over him
because you're obviously
with someone's sound now.
Yeah, and it's only been two months,
so don't worry about it.
You're probably just used to like having that there. I don't worry about it. You're probably just used to
like having that there.
Exactly.
No, no, no, no.
Tell them I'm still in love with my ex.
Oh my gosh!
I would bring it up though
because you don't want to be seen
as a stage five clinger either.
Especially if you're not.
Well, I mean...
Which we would be.
I'd have to...
Yeah, I would have said it in my sleep
and meant it.
Do you know what I mean? I'd be like, I'd woken up and be like, I want you to know Yeah, I would have said it in my sleep and meant it. Do you know what I mean?
I'd be like, I'd woken up and be like,
I want you to know I meant that, okay?
I meant it.
That's how I feel.
I felt it from the second I saw you.
So, no, I'd have to bring it up.
I hate when there's like,
do you know when there's kind of an elephant in the room
about something?
I have to bring it up.
You're a real bringer-upper of things, though.
So are you.
Yeah, but you also don't like confrontation.
Oh, my God.
I'd rather set myself on fire.
I'm really bad.
Remember that article
I was reading?
It was saying that
I was sent to you.
It was about 10 things
that are damaging
your relationship
that you don't know.
And it was saying
that it's a bad sign
if you don't fight
because it means
one of you is
confrontation avoidant.
So basically,
one of you
is just getting your way
the whole time, basically. Do you know what you was just getting your way the whole time basically.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I knew a couple
who never fought
and it wasn't healthy
because it just meant
the girl
she was my friend
she was just never
standing up for herself
and he was just kind of
getting away with murder
the whole time.
Yeah I think that you can
fight in a healthy way
where it doesn't have to be
like so intense all the time
but if you don't
don't have ten vodkas
like me
and then freak out on them
for something you don't even mean
yeah I was really bad at that
like something would piss me off or upset
me or something would have happened
and I'd just be ratty all day
and really quiet and they'd be like
quack quack and I'm like nothing
because you kind of want them to guess
I do like
you know you want them to be a bit psychic
and then I'd have a couple of drinks and then I'd be like,
well, well, well.
I was literally...
Can I speak to you?
There's something on my mind.
I actually think I ended the night out the other night.
And I've been texting Gillian today and I'm like,
Gillian, how bad?
Did I do anything bad?
And he's like, no, you're fine.
And I'm like, he's my cousin.
He's not going to tell me about this. You're what? I've been texting him beingian, how bad? Did I do anything bad? And he's like, no, you're fine. And I'm like, he's my cousin. He's not going to tell me about this.
You're what?
I've been texting him
being like,
how bad was it?
Because he's like,
it's fine, it's fine.
But he saw me
really embarrassed yesterday.
So I'm trying to text Killian
to see what happened.
Yeah.
He's also being too nice to me.
Listen, drink, you know.
It's truth juice.
This is it.
In vino veritas.
Is that the saying?
Truth in wine that's it Joanne
goodbye
thanks for listening
thanks for listening Bye.
