This is a Global Player original podcast.
Hello and welcome to the bonus episode of My Therapist Ghosts of Me with me, Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally.
Because I'm so excited about our tour, I have been going through outfits like a madwoman.
I am like, it I am like it's like
it's like my second
coming like
I've been pregnant
for five years
practically
and now I'm not
pregnant
and I'm going
on tour
like a real
cool person
and now I've got
outfits ready
can't wait
yeah but
so Jo
sorry bit of
background to this
it was only today
at our
tech rehearsal.
The tour starts tomorrow, show starts tomorrow in Dublin.
We were in Wagamama.
So all this is last week.
So we're in Wagamama with our director Una.
Doesn't everyone have a Wagamama order?
Like the one that they get all the time.
I've never veered from it.
That's a wild pivot.
Anyway, go on, go on.
You are wild.
I love food.
Her interruption technique
Is on fire
Anyway
So we're in Wagamama
Me and Vogue are sitting in Wagamama
Outside the venue
And
Vogue's stylist
Arrives in
With loads of amazing clothes
I was like
Excuse me
I know Karina
Because I've used Karina before
And Joanne could have used Karina as well.
Fog is wearing a different outfit.
Do you know what it is?
It's fresh innocence of life on the road.
Talk to me in a year's time.
You'll be wearing a fucking curtain.
Karina and I have been liaising
behind Joanne's back.
You'll be wearing the same curtain.
You'll be wearing a shower curtain
same night, every night
just to avoid getting dressed.
Makeup, everything the same.
Now I will say.
Get a mascara.
You'll be out there.
Not a bother.
Anything to save a bit of time.
You lose all interest in it.
You lose interest in the kind.
I never had it actually.
In the glammy thing.
No John.
You and I are very different.
Like I've been picking out my own clothes.
Since I was like.
Like honestly four or five.
When my mom started letting me do it.
Like it's something that I just like.
I love doing it
I love looking at clothes
I go on to Net-A-Porter
and put all this stuff
in my bag
thousands of pounds
worth of stuff
and don't buy it
but I love
I love doing it
yeah
no it's brilliant
I love
I love
I love a fake shop
I love it
because I mean
honestly
who's going to spend
900 euro on a jumper
someone obviously does
I love doing that I used to do that on Asos I will tell you what
Asos and Nettaporte like do you want you can treat yourselves at the odd bargain on Asos okay
Vogue you know do you know what right so it's Valentine's Day
it's obviously been and gone
but em
look at that smug bitch
making sure the flowers
are in the background
so we can all see
that she got treated
sorry
I actually
threatened to move them
who do you think
did that now
me
do you think I did that
all me and Alan
have done all day
it's like there's your
13 euro card
he's like
Alan Galeini
there's your 13 euro card. He's like, there's your 13 euro card.
And he's like,
he bought me a chain.
Do you know how much that cost?
And then the flower,
he got me flowers.
And he got,
listen,
I'm not going to tell you the price then,
but let me tell you,
the Celtic Tigers bank,
we do spend money on each other.
I put money into his
Revolut account
that was a long story
I lost a buying card
and I was like
can I get that money back
he's like
well you already owe me
for this
it's just like
no one wants
to spend anything
on each other
but the fucking
13 euro card
now it does sing
and dance and all
but like
13 euro
I'm sorry
that's your own fault.
I don't have any sympathy for that. Buying a
card for €13. I was actually
holding back and buying a birthday card
for somebody because it was €2.99. I thought, do you know what?
No. I'm going to get my kids to make
you a card. €2.99 for a card?
Piss off! If you ever tried
to pass off Gigi's potato art
as a card for me, I'll know exactly what you're up to.
But the €13 was too late because I was at the counter and your mum goes, you know that's €13? Because she obviously knew it was insane to pass off Gigi's potato art as a card for me I know exactly what you're up to but the 13 euro card
was too late
because I was at the counter
and your mum goes
you know that's 13 euro
because she obviously knew
it was insane as well
but I couldn't back down then
I was there
I couldn't be like
God no
hold on a second
give me that stamp
I'll just write something
on the back of that
I'll accept
well I will tell you
what I did today
I went into
Dunae's Boutique
Dunn's
this is a place in Ireland
and what do I say
I
I piled up
on Easter decorations
I know I keep going on
about these decorations
but I mean
when you have kids
you have to have decorations
for every time of year
not Valentine's Day
too much
but I got the most
magnificent things
and I've just
it's really put a pep
in my step today
but you don't have to
have decorations
just because you've got a child they're too young today but Vogue you don't have to have decorations just because
you've got a child
they're too
young and thick
to know any different
they're not going to notice
that's what I said before
Scrooge over there
Scrooge
oh
do you know what
she's got gifted
Scrooge
Vogue has turned me
into a fucking
when I first met Vogue
I had a pot to piss in but I was adding a pot
to piss in
but I was prepared
to spend it
not anymore
she is the worst
influence
when it comes
to spending money
because she's so used
to doing all these
collabs
the woman hasn't put
her hand in her pocket
in 10 years
she doesn't even
have a pocket
look at her
she doesn't even
have a fucking pocket
and if she does
her hand doesn't go into it
ever
because she's gifted so much
excuse me
you can't say I'm mean
there's no worse face
imagine
do you know what
do you know what actually
there's no worse face
than
I'd rather be called
a creepy weirdo
than be called mean
with money
there's nothing worse
than someone being like
she wouldn't spend
fucking Christmas
but back to Christmas
Joanna's such a Scrooge monster.
She got gifted these gorgeous Christmas decorations.
She couldn't even bother her whole to get a Christmas tree.
She just placed them on the TV unit.
And that was her Christmas decoration.
Well now, in fairness,
don't confuse Scroogey with incredibly lazy and couldn't be arsed. There are two
different things. I do have a bad case of couldn't be arsed. I was like, couldn't be
arsed. I'm only going to be nice with you guys. I couldn't be arsed. How are we going
to get rid of it? Couldn't be arsed. Do you know what I mean?
I won't even tell you. I will not embarrass her by telling you how she showed up today
when I saw her. I won't embarrass her
there was no knickers
there was no bra
that's all I'm saying
I'll embarrass myself
no problem do that
no there was no knickers
no bra
a bit of context
wouldn't go straight there
yeah
fully nude
fully in the nip
just running into the gaiety
in the nip the guys at the gowdy in the nip
the guys at Catapult
got such a fright
they're doing our stages on
and she just runs out naked
and they were like
oh crap
they really got a fright
sorry guys
I forgot to get dressed
all over the place
what happened was
what happened was
basically
for Valentine's Day
me and my mother
hit it hard
great crack
great crack
we had a great night in
me and my mum
and we
to say we put it away
is an understatement
to say mum I'm sorry
I know
she doesn't like to be shamed
but I didn't let good office down
do you know what I mean
so anyway
there we go
but
we had a great night
I drank loads
and then ended up
coming back to Allen's
and then the morning
and I couldn't find my car key
anyway I turned
my car key
she pulled a
Joanne is what
happened
what she's trying
to say is I
pulled a Joanne
my car is
sitting somewhere
whether it's
been clamped
out I don't
know where
I don't know
where it
currently is
I'd say it has
about 20 tickets
stacked on top of it
anyway we ended
up in the galley
in my pyjamas
Jo full brown
pyjamas not a
bra in sight
no no are you drinking champagne
Spencer
right
in fairness to him
he sent me a bunch of flowers
really nice flowers
and I would like to say
again and again
and again
I like flowers again
okay
everyone stop slagging me
when I post flowers
on my Instagram
I like them
again
right
Vogue you're entitled
to change your opinion
it is a woman's right
to change her opinion
and I do it all the time
on the daily
about everything
100%
well I'm currently
it's Valentine's Day now
that we're recording this
we're sad bitches
so we don't mind
recording on Valentine's Day
and I was
I invited my auntie up
for dinner
I told you Amber
Mina
and myself and Megan
are all up here
having dinner
so basically
we put the potatoes on
and I know I have 40 minutes
and you know how I like to like lock a lot of things in at the same time so I've got Naomi and Megan sitting all up here having dinner. So basically we put the potatoes on and I know I have 40 minutes and you know how I like to
lock a lot of things in at the same time.
So I've got Naomi and Megan sitting at the kitchen table
while I'm standing there training with weights in the kitchen.
So I'm talking to them as I'm training.
So I'm getting two things done at the same time and that's our Valentine's Day.
I could have gone for dinner.
I'm stuck here with you two pigs.
That's what I'm going to have to show.
If you want to go for dinner
and go to a place that is charging you
more than it usually would
and has substandard food
and it's stuffed
to the brim with people
you are our guest
but we are saving your ass
after spending 13 euro
on a card
spend 13 euro on a card
I go to a restaurant
and I walk into the back
of the kitchen
and eat out of the bin for free
I would not pay another penny
towards Valentine's Day
but I wouldn't mind
going to a restaurant
just to eat the scraps
out the back
I will tell you I've been known
to eat out of a bin myself. You ever get a
Chinese when you're really hungover and it's like no that's enough
that is enough I can't eat anymore and you have to put
it in the bin so you stop yourself eating it
I will take that carton back out of the bin
quite happily and polish off
my three in one. Of course sure
I remember working in it I like
worked in well several
restaurants, coffee shops
daddies
all that kind of jazz
I'd say you were so bad
at being waitress
like honestly
oh yeah
remember
do you know actually
by the time I got fired
from the pub in Dorky
he was like
I'd rather have no one on
than have you on
because I was asking
for extra shifts
he was like
I'd rather have no one on
I'd rather
I'd rather the punters
were just let loose
just like rip the tops
out of the wall than have you on
it was quite cruel actually
quite cruel
and then I was like I think I need to leave now
do I finish my shift like that's really
insulting so I just walked out then
took the fucking apron with me
boom
I'm sure he missed you
but anyway
when I was doing the waitressing,
I think everyone does this.
I'd be eating people's like leftovers.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
So I was waitressing when I was in uni,
so I had no money,
like no money at all.
And like if people weren't eating their steak,
I wasn't going to be buying myself a steak.
I remember my biggest expense,
I don't know who I thought I was,
I bought a piece of tuna before
when I was doing that., I don't know who I thought I was, I bought a piece of tuna before when I was doing that.
And I actually like,
I don't think I could go out
that weekend or something.
Do you remember,
you'd go out and you'd literally,
I'd just bring my vodka in my bag.
A hundred percent.
Hello, Joanne and Vogue, not Joe.
Oh!
That's a bit far. Come on, we like Joe.
It's probably his wife. Who is it?
Leave Peggy Sue alone. Leave him alone.
Peggy Sue?
The Pegging.
The Pegging. Oh, the Pegging Sue. Oh my God. ew the pegging the pegging oh the pegging
oh my god
you
cannot get her
out of the gutter
I can't
okay
I've recently been
seeing a guy
and I think I want to end it
he's really nice
has treated me really well
and to be honest
he's always been more keen
on me than I have of him
now if
if she was more keen
on him
leave red flag she would he would have dumped her that's always what happens anyway always been more keen on me than I have of him. Now if she was more keen on him. Leave. Red flag.
He would have dumped her. That's always
what happens. Anyway. Which is always
good. I've been on a few dates but maybe have been
texting him for two months at this stage.
Oof. That's a long time to be texting
someone. Typically in the past, unless
it was a relationship, I just ghosted someone
who would have been out with a few times because
I hate having that awkward conversation.
But recently, maybe I've matured.
I've been thinking that maybe I owe him more than that.
My housemates say I should lie
and pretend I'm moving away
or that I'm not interested in the relationship.
How do I end it with someone I'm just not feeling with?
Listen, you can do it in a nice way
without hurting someone's feelings.
I think ghosting someone...
There's no way of ending a relationship
without hurting
someone's feelings
but sometimes
I think you just have to
you just have to do it
you have to break their feelings
that's it
I know
sometimes you just have to
there's no way
do you know what you say
just say
listen
I thought I was ready
for a relationship
but it turns out
I'm not
I think that you're amazing
but like
I'm just not
I'm just not there yet
there's a lot of like really interesting stuff on Insta.
I follow a lot of Insta therapists and stuff,
because again, I'm not prepared to pay for my own stuff.
I just go on Instagram for free life advice.
And may I say, I've seen some of the posts you quote.
I'm like, God, she's really on one this week.
Are you okay
the amount of ones
I don't post
there's a lot of restraint there
like do you know
the way you're posting shit
going like fucking bad
walking out with that pricksie
it's just like
shade
shade shade shade
it's too obvious
it's too obvious
too obvious
but actually it was like
you know these things
it was like
it was saying
well done
empower to the people
who end relationships
not because it doesn't
not because I don't love them
not because it doesn't work
not because it's toxic or bad
it's just not
the one
at that time
it's just not the one
you don't have to be obsessed
with everyone
you can just be like
you know what
you're a really good guy
but I just don't think
this is
I don't think this is
a long term thing
I'm looking for different things
yeah I agree
I agree I agree
I mean
God
I
Nothing
I'd give anything
To bring back the glory days
Of sending your maid over
To do it for you
Oh god
That was a great time
Is your name Jo?
Alex says you're dumped
That was it
And then everything
Clean cut
That was probably the last time
I got dumped.
Well, I got ghosted as well after that.
But like, that was the last time I got dumped, I'd say.
I'll never forget it.
I remember his little beautiful face.
Thanks for that.
Well, I'm not that many relationships, have I?
He looked like Splinter from what's that thing called?
Teenage Mutant Hero Trials.
I never see that little shite bag looking over at me while his crappy
little friend who was even worse than him dumped me
I thought you fucking arsehole you'll regret this
you'll regret this
so you haven't been dumped since
like 1989 when that
was still acceptable
well think about it I've been in full
no I haven't
oh my god
well I got ghosted now remember god well I got ghosted
now remember that time
I got ghosted
so that was being dumped
yeah but he's
he's all out of the shop
he is
he is all
he's gonna
yeah he is gonna
we haven't forgotten that
sometimes when I do
insta posts
it's about him
this one's for you
Vogue
thanks Joanne
hi Vogue. Thanks, Joanne.
Hi, Vogue and Joanne.
I've been moping about for the last week
and decided I should email you
to try and get myself out of this.
My husband and I celebrated
our anniversary at the weekend.
We've married 10 years,
together 15.
Bit of a milestone.
We stayed at a lovely
five-star hotel
with the best cocktails.
On Saturday night,
we had a massive session together and I
was genuinely having the best night we get
on so well, have loads of
laughs and fancy each other. But
for some reason before, my
husband brought up the fact that just before we got
together, I'm scared of this,
he was seeing someone else.
He told me that he'd been seeing both of us
but he ultimately chose me.
Sorry, I think that's
very nice yeah 15 years
I know you might say I should just be happy he chose
me but it feels like he broke my
trust oh babe don't worry he didn't
break your trust just you wait
you don't want to see some of the emails we got in
on this fucking dear
Grant this man is
like yeah zero
this is very low level. If you're finished with him, we'll
take him. Yeah.
I've only heard about it for
the first time now. Oh God, he's a gobshite.
How did he let that fall out? Don't say it.
You're not doing yourself any favours
15 years later. How can you keep
that much information? I just couldn't
keep it information to myself.
I couldn't keep it to myself.
And especially things I shouldn't do.
I always forget about them
because I don't want
to remember them
because I shouldn't have done them.
So it's the best way
to think that you haven't done them.
Anyway,
I get that he thought
he was being fun,
but it really ruined
the weekend for me.
We didn't argue
because I tend to just
go into myself.
It hasn't left me
and I don't know
what to do next.
Anyway,
I'm sure I'll be over
by the time I see you both at the Palladium.
The marriage will be over?
No, the fight will be over.
Oh, sorry.
I was like, my gosh.
This is a very severe reaction.
I actually think I would be, well, maybe it's because, no, I think that it's fine.
I do.
15 years later
I can't believe he remembered it
and brought it up
why would he
why would you be so stupid
I think it's always
really weird
to hear
that your
partner
was with
other people
unless you're into
that kind of thing
anyone else
exactly
unless that's your vibe
but ultimately
and I think that's probably
what this is more about
that it's
she now has to picture this
that he was as close
with some other woman
around the same time
as he's close to her
and all that stuff
I think that's what that is
I think even though
it's like
how many people have you slept with
never a good conversation to have
I remember when I was
like this is a long time ago now
I used to like
my list obviously
isn't very long
so I used to write
people's names down and then
the things we'd done and mark them out of 10 and one of my exes found it I know I how did I have
the time to do that it was obviously before kids it was a long time before kids before any paper
start writing stuff it was a long time before kids but yeah I used to do that and I got caught
I was found out. They found it.
I just remembered that. So just be
thankful your husband didn't have a list and didn't
mark you out of 10 and you weren't even the
winner in all the categories.
My ex wasn't the winner in all the categories.
How do you go?
I'd just be like, oh, it's out of 10 of intelligence.
That's it. He's just that one.
Oh no, all mine were just sexual things.
That one's real thick. He's 2 out of 10 sexual things that one's real thick he's 2 out of 10
and that one's
real smart
real fucking smart
he was 12 out of 10
of intelligence
he could do a
Rubik's Cube
in under a second
you've got like a
Vogue
you've got a burn book
about men you had sex with
that's juicy
no I lost that book
I lost that book
it would have been
a very short book
let's be honest
I know
do you ever think
about stuff that you've lost
I remember like
when I lived in my dad's house
so these are long gone
I'm just hoping
that they've like
really like
I don't know
they'll never be recovered
but when I was younger
I really thought
I wanted to be in a pop band
remember
I did
so I used to sit at home
with a dictaphone
singing
along to Alicia Keys
if anybody found them I'd honestly with a dictaphone singing along to Alicia Keys.
If anybody found them,
I'd honestly,
I'd have to go to the grave.
Well, that's it, Joanne.
We're done.
What is the rush?
Is it the potatoes?
What is going on?
Listen, I told you I was three sets
into a four set programme
and now it's all balled up.
She's like,
well, there it goes.
That's it from us for this week.
Thank you for listening.
I've been Gerard McNally.
She's been Vogue Williams.
