This is a Global Player original podcast.
Welcome to the bonus episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me. It's a Wednesday. It's me, Joanne
McNally, and it's yourself, Vogue Williams.
I fainted this morning so we had a few drinks last night but I'm not like violently hung over but I don't know what happened I literally got up just to go to the toilet at like seven in the
morning and I obviously stood up too fast full-on fainted and just fell on the floor it's funny it
was like what what has happened what's wrong with you what's wrong and like it was the weirdest thing because I couldn't remember fainting I just knew
I was on the floor what was it like what did you you just woke up and everyone was standing around
it's a really weird feeling yeah I just literally I remember standing up and then I don't remember
blacking out but then I was on the ground I was like oh crap like my elbows were really sore
because I'd landed on them but yeah really strange experience kind of liked it kind of like are you sure are you sure
I've heard it's great crack I have spoken to some fainters before and they do say it is great crack
it's my second time in my life fainting and I was like whoa are you sure it's not some sort of
kind of brain shame or something?
Well, I wasn't going there,
but now that you've said it,
I'm going to furiously start googling it
and seeing what's actually wrong with me.
If that was me now,
I'd be concerned that there was something else at play.
Well, I wasn't until you brought it up,
but now I'm thinking to myself,
Jesus, do I need to get myself to a hospital immediately?
I would find a neurologist
and I would have a scan done.
Genuinely.
Like you're getting on now.
We can't just faint anymore.
That's for kids.
Let me faint.
Let me faint in peace.
I'm hoping it happens again today
because I did find it thoroughly enjoyable.
You're a mother of three.
You're probably like,
I could do with the time out to be honest.
Yeah.
I saw some other guy faint before.
We were recording.
I did a podcast with Boots
and I was recording that and there was a guy in the corner I did a podcast with Boots, and I was recording that.
And there was a guy in the corner, and I was kind of looking at him.
I was like, God, all of a sudden, he doesn't look great.
And I was just watching him.
And then he fainted.
And if you faint and you're not lying down, like, flat,
you have to lie people flat, or else they'll start, like, having a fit.
So I was watching this guy, and I was like, oh, my God,
now he's having a fit.
Oh, my God, what the hell is going on?
And then when we lay him out flat, he was grand.
I mean, completely gray, but grand.
Are you supposed to kind of fiddle with people who are having a fit?
Yeah, they're having a fit when they're fainting because of the way the oxygen is.
So you have to like just lay them out straight.
Are you sure?
I don't know, this all stinks to me now.
I think that lad is having a full-blown epileptic fit. No, no. I was sitting beside an actual doctor who I was interviewing at the time
and he explained to the whole room. And you know what? I actually don't appreciate this.
The fact that you would think that I've pulled this out of my arse. I know what to do with people
when they faint. Okay. I just didn't know a seizure was part of the fainting experience,
but look, it's a very long time since I've done it. I did it. I've didn't know a seizure was part of the fainting experience. But look,
it's a very long time
since I've done it.
I did it,
I've done it
one and a half times.
Once I did it
when I was in primary school
because it was summertime
and they still had us
wearing these like
Arran jumpers.
And we were in the church
being embarrassed
for something,
I'm sure,
being told we were shameful.
I can't remember.
And the heat
and the shame
got to me
and I had a little faint,
but it was very gentle
and no one really gave a shit.
I don't think anyone ever even said anything.
You didn't get to go home or anything?
Not at all.
There was nowhere to go.
My mother worked.
But then another time I had,
I went in to get my varicose veins looked at
into this very tiny, small hot room and i had to take
my pants down and stand like you know holding the bed while she examined the back of my legs
and i got very woozy and i was like oh my god i think i'm gonna faint and i was kind of thrilled
with the drama of it all and she said yeah no that happens a lot i was like would you not get
a fucking fan in here or something but apparently it's right but i didn't actually go through with
the fainting i just dabbled with the idea and then
got my shit together the only other time I did a fainting was when I was in this photo shoot when
I was about 16 and obviously then you're too worried to ever like you just do whatever you're
told and I was in this like wedding dress that was about half my size and this Russian woman had put
me in it it was her wedding dress and she was literally like half my size,
but she stuffed me into this dress
and all the lights were on me
and no one had offered me food.
And I was like 16 at the time.
And I remember just being like,
I don't know, something's not right.
Something's not right.
And then all this sweat just started pumping from my face
and then I fainted.
I'm a fainter.
Jo, have you any fainting tidbits
for us ever had a faint for yourself?
Would you enjoy a faint?
I went to a sexual health clinic
once when I was at uni
and it's probably the only time
I've ever had a blood test taken.
They took blood out of me,
but it was after I'd been
in all the other rooms
and they'd done all the other things
to me.
So it was sort of the last straw
and I came out a little bit
floaty out of that last one.
Yeah.
But did you have anything?
What have you got? No, it was all clear. Don't worry.y out of that last one. Yeah. But did you have anything? What have you got?
No, it was all clear.
Don't worry.
And it was many years ago.
We haven't ridden in ages, Jo.
I think I'm pretty,
I think I'm pretty good to go.
I think I would have copped
at this stage
if you'd given me anything.
Jo's like,
don't worry, girls.
I'm in the clean.
In the clear,
not the clean.
I'm in the clear.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Well being.
Yeah.
That was the last night of the three arena, wasn't it?
The three of us just got stuck in.
We just didn't know where to put the energy.
We're like one little ride.
What's a little ride between friends?
Do you remember that, Jo?
Do you remember?
Oh dear.
Do you remember?
Do you ever think...
And Jo was on top.
Of course he was.
Like we'd ever be on top, for God's sake.
We just lay down.
Anyway, glad to know you're in the clear.
Sorry about that.
Go on.
I feel like I'm going to faint again.
I honestly, I was like, do you ever think about,
well, maybe it doesn't happen to you guys,
but do you ever like see someone and you're like,
oh no, I'd really like,
I wouldn't like to wake up naked with that person.
Like I see Donald Trump and I'm like
oh god what would I do the next day if I
accidentally woke up naked and I was naked
beside Donald Trump like things like that really
infect my mind and I kind of feel like
that about you too I don't ever want to think
please I don't ever want to have sex with either of you
I was wondering where that
Trump story was going
do you ever
get that
trying to keep track of the loops and twists there Trump story was going. Do you ever get that?
Trying to keep track of the loops and twists there.
But I see where we got to.
What are you suggesting?
Sorry, me and Joe
have a lot of sexual chemistry.
When you go back to your family,
me and Joe stay on here for hours.
Don't we, Joe?
And why are we in the same category
as Donald Trump?
Yeah, that's so insulting.
Because I'd be so,
I'm sorry.
I know it's insulting,
but you are,
because I really wouldn't want to have to wake up naked
beside either of you.
I'd find it really disturbing.
Well, Donald Trump is quite the comparison.
Joe, you're Trump.
I'm valid.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I get it with loads of people,
like that man who goes along the beach
in some parts in his knickers.
I'm like, oh no, oh no.
And I don't know why.
It's not like it's ever going to happen.
But I'm like, what if I got so fucked up one night that I end up with the G-Banger, man?
I just don't want to do that.
No, of course.
But I've had that experience with men that I have had sex with.
Which is terrible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, and you're like, the next time you meet, you're like, what was that about?
And no offense. I don't mean to be mean to anyone that I've slept with. But anyway, back to Fainting. yeah yeah yeah you know and you're like the next time you meet you're like what was that about and no offence
I don't mean to be
mean to anyone
that I've slept with
but
anyway back to fainting
actually
being as we're talking about
Jo this is a good one
for you actually
someone tagged me
in a game card
a game of cards
that's going around
you know these kind of like
I think they're
you know they give these
kind of quizzes
like Shag Mary
I think the game is
Shag Mary Kill
right oh I love those games for you the question the three names
on the card were Maura Higgins, Vogue Williams, Joanne McNally. Jo go shag shag marry kill now
there's a good one for you Jo. Okay go on Jo be very careful I feel like any any which way I answer this is probably going to get me cancelled
no I know
I know there's a way
that you could answer it
that would make both myself
and Joanne happy
well I don't want to ride you again
I didn't have
I didn't have the best time
the first time
so I'm happy to
I'm happy to skip
kill both of us
but if you don't kill
Maura Higgins
we're in serious trouble here
because
that is very telling
you need to kill her
I'd ride Maura Higgins
obviously
oh over us two
definitely
are you mad
yeah
but then that would
leave me with
marrying one of you
and killing the other
and
any which way
that's gonna
that's gonna end our
sort of professional relationship
Joanne doesn't really mind
things like that
she wouldn't mind
like she doesn't mind
if like a flight's delayed
or something
I don't think she'd mind
if you killed her
I'm happy to get killed
just get the vibe off you
make it painless
like some
send me to Dignitas
don't throw me off a cliff
something light
something peaceful
just slowly
put the formaldehyde
isn't that what they
told on the
tablecloth
that they used to do
in the 60s
and just
I'm happy
I'm happy to tag out
this time Jo
you live your life
yeah
but you're not married
so it's messier
isn't it
because it involves
Vogue and I
getting divorced
are you telling me
you want to kill
are you telling me
you want to kill
a woman with three children
no I'm not saying that.
That's just what you said.
Why would you get cancelled?
Sorry, Vogue, is my life not worth your life because I don't have children?
Is that what you're saying?
Well, Joanne, if I am really serious, I'm not letting you get killed.
You're my cash cow.
I'm not letting you get killed.
Maura's gone.
She was gone in the first sentence to me.
I'm thinking about this from a sort of admin point of view.
I think Joanne would be easier to be married to, if I'm honest. She'd give you an easy life. I just fucking give age
you all the time. You'd never see me Jo. It would be the most peaceful marriage of your entire
existence because you're not staying over in the flat. No. There's no room for you here now. Maybe
meet up once a month. You're not allowed to do that. If you're taking the marriage,
it has to be a marriage.
You can't just decide
what you're doing.
Jo's coming to live with you
in your home.
What are you talking?
You sacked off your first marriage.
You're not,
you don't believe in marriage either.
You didn't even stay married.
You can't tell me rules about marriage.
Yeah, but I had to live
in the same house as him
for fucking years.
It was a nightmare.
Exactly.
So you're saying that basically because you struggled,
I have to struggle.
I don't.
Me and Jo will live separate lives.
Joanne, that's what marriage is about.
Okay?
And if you are taking the plunge with Jo,
you will do everything that a marriage entails.
We've got a few emails this week.
We could look at some emails.
We could build a tunnel like Helena Bowman Carter did.
She built a tunnel.
She lived in her own house
and then built a tunnel
into her husband's house
now they have since separated
even with the tunnel
well the tunnelling
didn't work for them
then obviously
the tunnelling
no
what we've learnt here is
RIP Maura Higgins
but I don't want
to have sex with Jo
that's not fair
to push that on me
tough shit
I'm not going on top Jo
so don't even think about it
I'm not doing it
we're doing it from behind
oh Jesus
fuck around
there was a lot of
psychic shops in
LA
and I really did debate going in,
but I was like, I just can't take it seriously.
But there's, they're big into it over there.
Big into it over there.
I would have been in and out,
spending all my money listening to like,
if I have any kind of a problem,
I'm like, gotta talk to my psychic girl.
Yeah, I would have liked the kind of company,
to be honest, but.
Okay.
Hi, ladies.
Went to see a psychic in a town in Ireland.
He shited on for 20 minutes,
told me he didn't see any children in my near future.
And at the end, he asked how accurate my reading was.
I told him I was seven months pregnant.
I hid it well.
He apologized and let me leave without paying.
That's so funny.
I've never heard of anyone calling their bluff like that I can't believe he let her leave without paying that is I can't
believe he didn't spin it into something else like do you know what I mean oh sorry I meant
pregnant again the spirits I already knew you were pregnant. That was obvious. Like usually they spin it into something else.
Someone sent me a story
about,
it was in the paper,
I must find it,
about a psychic
who told
a young,
told a girl
that her husband was going to,
and this woman really believed
in this stuff,
that her husband
was going to die young.
So her whole life
she was just like
really devastated
that she was going to lose
her husband young.
She said it really fucked her up. I think think that's well they're not supposed to say things
like that but what I will say is I once was speaking to a girl that I really like talking
to and she does tarot card readings and she was like to me oh you're pregnant and I was like I'm
not pregnant I literally just did a test and she's like no you're pregnant and it's a girl and I was
like I'm not pregnant like I literally did a test three weeks later pregnant with Gigi thank you yeah I mean you looked like a woman trying to get pregnant
you were had all the wide legs and off do you remember you had the wide on walking with the
wide the wide gate which is what happens when you're I did have a waddle I did have a waddle
the part of the psychic thing that I think is lovely is just to feel like someone sees you for like
whatever the reading 40 minutes an hour just to have that kind of someone seeing you or advice
I suppose there's comfort it does it unless unless they tell you your husband's gonna die at 40 or
whatever if it's good news give me the good stuff they're not supposed to give you shitty news like
that by the way so that's a bad psychic but I just think it's nice if you're if like I always find if you're in a really bad patch of your life like
I went I was going through something really difficult and I spoke to this girl Penny who
I speak to sometimes and I swear to god she just kind of made me feel like more settled with
everything and like yeah I kind of had like a little I see it as a kind of manifesting I nearly
read a book on manifesting can you believe it I think it nearly read a little, I see it as a kind of manifesting. I nearly read a book on manifesting.
Can you believe it?
I think it might be for me.
Nearly read a book?
Well, because you know the way I was like,
I'm not into manifesting.
I'm not into manifesting.
I think it might be an interesting,
like,
like positive thing to be doing.
Yeah.
I got,
I did a shout out for psychic stuff
because,
well,
I just,
I like doing shout outs.
And this guy,
one of them was so funny
he said that he went to do
went to get a reading
the
psychic picked up a card
it was like the frog card
I don't know
I can't remember
and she went
oh well
looks like you're not going to die indoors
and then just put it down
and went on with the reading
and didn't explain anything else
about what she had said
and he was like
excuse me
where am I going to die
yeah looks like you're not not gonna die indoors would you
want to know right would you want to know if someone could tell you where and when you were
gonna die would you want to know no absolutely not oh god i would no no no no no no no no no

we also had a death in our family around this time and my mom and aunt decided to go to a meeting
up in draughta while seeing them uh there were a few things she definitely hit in the head regarding
what was going on in life at the moment um and then she started saying that there was a male
figure present who is telling her that he had taken a piece of my mom's heart when he passed
suddenly my mom sitting in confusion racking her brain as to who she could possibly be talking
about couldn't put the pieces together no haven't lost any man recently who broke my heart with his passing.
