This is a Global Player original podcast.
Hello and welcome to the bonus episode of my therapist ghosted me with me, Vogue Williams.
And myself, Joanne McNally.
Joanne and Vujie, here we are backstage last night of our tour.
Our ghosted tour in Ireland has come to an end.
We're in Killarney.
That's the noise you can hear is Davina Devine.
Who is on stage.
Opening up our special guest.
She's not special anymore.
Obviously, we know her very well now.
No, she's not special.
She was special at the start.
Now she's just one of the male, Davina.
And just so everyone knows, we're not cheap bitches.
We have had Joe on tour with us.
We just were keeping him as a surprise for the show
but we can say that
now because there's
no way
Davina's an absolute
joy on stage
I love her
she's a joy on stage
and off stage
off stage
maybe even better
we have been so
lucky with...
Joe's over there making himself another drink.
That man has not stopped drinking.
Joe, we brought you on tour for emotional and technical support
and you've cost us six grand in points.
Well, this will be why I'm earning the pot of champagne for you now, is it?
Do you want to know something...
It's enough out of you.
Do you want to know something interesting?
Always.

Chander Bing

I still think that's just so sad.
Brittany's book was number one
and then Matthew Perry passed
and his book became number one.
And I'm going to be totally honest
because I've...
Read both.
Had a chicken salad.
I've read both.
But I didn't finish Matthew's.
Okay, Joanne, we're not here to speak ill of the dead.
I'm not speaking ill of him at all.
I'm speaking ill of his editor.
I want you to tell me a nice thing.
I'm having a very anxious day today, listeners.
There you are.
What's going on with you?
Where I've had to have Jo and Una weren't allowed to leave.
Do you want a puppy?
No, I definitely don't want another dog.
No.
I didn't finish it.
I will get back to it, but I didn't find it thoroughly engaging.
I have to say,
and no shade on him.
I think he's a really interesting man,
very talented actor.
Wasn't mad about the book.
I apologize.
I would have to say
that I don't really read autobiographies.
They're not like my favorite kind of thing to read.
I love an autobiography.
But when I write mine,
I'm going to do at least four chapters on you.
I've got so much shit and dirt.
And I'm willing to release all of it.
Oh yeah.
I'll send you loads of photos of myself for the photo section.
You know when we go out together and have drinks.
I always have my notes out.
Just so you know.
Always taking notes about you.
Yeah.
I want everything.
I want my menstrual cycle and my eye band.
I want all my details.
100% sold.
Okay.
This is the bonus.
So we're going to do some listener emails.
Oh I love these. Okay. Do you remember when Joanne So we're going to do some listener emails. I love these.
Do you remember when
Joanne decided
she wanted to do
some of the listener emails?
She wanted to read them.
Now she's realized
she'd actually have to
go into her phone
and go and search them.
I like receiving.
Ordebly, sexually,
I'm a receiver.
And can I be honest?
I'm very good at reading.
And I think that
you are.
We should be doing things
that we're good at
and I'm good at reading. You are. Now you are, you know, tinkering on 40. It I think that you are we should be doing things that we're good at and I'm good at reading
you are
now you are
you know
tinkering on 40
it's good that you can read
but yeah
you are good at reading
thank you very much
good for you Vogue
three stars
thank you
I would five
Secret Santa
Vogue and Joanne
I'm 22
part of a group
hold on Vogue
I get to
oh sorry
okay sorry
you read the emails
well there's only two
because Joe hasn't been
doing his job
because as I said
he's been on the piss since he got in ireland okay secret santa or invite i mean
we're gonna do both but which would you like oh i'd like invite please oh okay you're only saying
that because i started with secret santa i am yes you're correct it's power play thursday you know
what after we started doing this thing right if gg has anything it could be anything anything he just
wants it off her he just grabs everything off her he doesn't want her having anything he doesn't
mind if T has something but if Gigi has it when he's up against a formidable character with Gigi
so I don't know that's gonna be a long life for him she just throws wobblers okay oh my god please
help me situation I met a guy in September he great. I've been single for two years.
Thrilled.
Yeah.
He ticks all boxes
and I genuinely think
there might be a future.
I haven't met his family yet,
but don't worry.
I've got the invite.
But wait,
it's for Christmas Day.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh!
Like, what the actual entire fuck?
When he texted the offer
I replied with
crying laughing faces
and he said he was
serious.
Stop.
Christmas Day.
You can't be stealing
someone's Christmas
you've only started
going out with.
And then you'd have to
buy them presents.
Let's finish.
Maybe there's a twist.
I don't want to upset
or offend him
so what do I do
I'm totally not ready
to meet his family
yet in any capacity
let alone on Christmas
fucking day
I'd say he's asking
because I'd be spending it
with my flatmates
who are grand
oh
oh okay
well she's not
she doesn't have a family
situation for the day
it's a lovely gesture
but I'm freaking out
ah
oh that's an easy fix
yeah but what I will say is as much it's so nice for him to ask you,
but I think on Christmas Day you'd feel quite uncomfortable
because it's like being a voyeur on somebody else's family day.
It's too much of a family day.
I think there's too much pressure on Christmas Day.
I think, because if I was invited to someone else's on Christmas Day,
I'd be like, oh, how does it look if I'm going to someone else's?
No, it's actually, I could do anything you want on Christmas Day. And if she doesn't have if I'm going to someone else no it's actually I could do anything
you want on Christmas Day
and if she doesn't have
family plans
if she's hanging out
with her flatmates
which also could be a fun day
maybe he's like
come over to mine
for a bit of like
a wholesome roast
if you're not getting that
in the flat
oh god I'm sorry
I think that like
if you're meeting
I'd go
no I wouldn't go
I have to say
I wouldn't go
I'd feel really uncomfortable
I'd rather sit at home
on my own
I didn't think I'd come home
what?
I couldn't
you'd spend Christmas day
on your own
other than go to your
boyfriend's family
yeah that you've never met before
that you basically have to
act like a really nice person
the whole day
and you don't want to do that
all day
not the whole day
you're in at 12
you're going at 3
well I don't think
that's the offer
you're there the whole day
Christmas is the full day
you can't just say
bought a cava
three crackers
out
cheese board
good luck
I could do it
the only thing is
it would be a nice day
to meet family I suppose
because everyone's in a good mood
and like you just
add to the joy
and they'd be like
she was so nice
even if you were a dick
everyone's pissed
they won't remember
it's an easy one to do
and it's an easy one
to get out of
it's Christmas day
like you can say it
and you want
like everyone gets away
with everything on Christmas day
I like family
I don't like family I've I'm nervous I've ADHD like you can say it and you want like everyone gets away with everything on Christmas Day I like family I don't like family
I've
I'm nervous
I've ADHD
whatever
you can make all your excuses
I think that we haven't
helped you at all
I think that you just
have to decide yourself
what you actually want to do
for Christmas Day
and then do that
maybe she wants to hang out
with her flatmates
on Christmas Day
no she said they're not great
she said they're grand
then fucking go to his
I know but then you have
to go to a house
eat the turkey
get a doggy bag
go home
watch Succession.
You would not, like,
you would not in your arse ever do that.
I will drink anywhere.
Okay, fine.
If I was invited to Pret-a-Manger
on Christmas Day.
Yeah, like a secret event.
Well, if they were doing...
I'd be like, Pat, good luck to you.
Pat, I'm sorry.
A better offer has come through.
I'm not available.
Sit there alone in your paper hat
do you have to do anything
on Christmas day
just out of interest
like do you do anything
in what sense
like do you help with anything
help with anything
who's cooking your food
I
help with
anything
I
open
doors
and
pour drinks
why what happens
you see I can
on Christmas day
I'm always having to do
loads of stuff all day
yeah because you've got children
I am going to
I am childless
forward slash Todd free
me and my mum
living our lives
yeah but your brother's
coming over
you're cooking
so like who cleans up
do you not even have to clean up
that's amazing
how did you clean up
oh no no no
I do
I'll put stuff in the
dishwasher and stuff
okay fair enough
okay
yeah yeah yeah
okay back to the one
spoons or whatever
I wanted to read first
Secret Santa

happy Christmas Rev
that's all they want though
it's all they want
Vogue and Joanne
yes
I'm 22
part of a group of
six girls who all love the podcast
thank you
and we've invented
the best game ever
please share
apart from one
we're all single
and we love a little go
of the apps
the other night
after a few drinks
we decided to play
Secret Santa
here's how it works
everyone opens the app
puts their phone in a bowl
in the middle
and then the bowl
is passed around
you pick out a phone
and then get swiping.
The game was so funny
because you're swiping
for a friend
and we're all being nice
not being evil to each other.
That's nice.
Yeah.
That's important.
Sometimes,
well,
I used to,
like,
I used to do that
on people's apps.
I used to love doing that.
But it does get boring
after a while.
The swiping game.
Yeah.
You get bored and i kind
of feel cruel i know because you're like dismissing people because they've got like a fucking their
eyebrows on you're like what am i like do i want a life with someone or do i not i know so the game
is to get something nice for your friend something they wouldn't usually pick for themselves but you
think that you think they might like the swipe i got was for a 29 year old fella who boo ghosted me a wanker after a few messages it happens that's not a real
ghost no it's not it's not that's not a ghost like a ghosting i honestly think is when you've
like kind of met someone in human life yeah you have to have met them because they're so because
the apps are so disposable the people they're so disposable you just forget
you just lose interest
or forget
yeah like you can't
even take it personally
you honestly can't
oh my god
I just think
like if I was ever
like single again
I think I'd be desperate
on the apps
do you remember that guy
that I met on the apps
I'd broken up with someone
and then
I was kind of swiping away
swiping away
and then
I matched with this guy
and it was the first guy I really...
Liked.
Fancied.
I didn't even know him from Adam.
Yeah.
But we were swiping and we were chatting
and it was like this faux relationship kind of thing.
Because you're like voice noting and chatting
and he had that like really sexy Essex accent thing.
And then one day he just went away and it was like...
I think I remember him yeah because
you were oh a nice Essex accent yeah I know but I was so the only thing that the thing that excited
me in hindsight was that I fancied someone it was the first time I fancied someone after my
ex so I was like oh there's there's life there's life in me but I really invested in this guy that
like I think we voice noted for three days
oh you were voice noting
oh yeah
I was like
by a hat
I tell you what
I just don't think
I'd be good at that
ah
I told you about
when I used to have
this boyfriend in school
and like he was
he had told me
he was going to ring me
at six o'clock
so I had written down
all these points
to talk to him about
because I was so embarrassed
that's just because
you're nervous
you're a great conversationist except for last night uh stop don't give me the
fear was I bad no I just have to say it was the funniest goodbye so me and Vogue went back to
her room we were having a couple of drinks and just chatting about life and you know work and
everything and then I was like okay look let's wrap it up and she was like yeah grand and so I
I stood up and I put on my jacket I turned around to's wrap it up and she was like yeah grand and so I I stood up
and I put on my jacket
I turned around
to give her a hug
and she was in her bedroom
with the lights off
and I was like
oh
love you
night
see you tomorrow
I just thought there'd be
a more sentimental
send off that's all
I would have had you
in bed with me
I get very lonely
she's like
see you later
lights
I stood in the dark
in your apartment.
I get very lonely.
I wanted to rush in and go to sleep because I knew you were still there.
So at least I knew you were there while I was falling asleep.
I wanted to touch.
You wanted to rub against each other.
And it was not good.
Here, two of the girls got the ride.
One got a gargoyle.
And the last one is still chatting to hers.
Oh, there you go.
That's a nice game.
It's like when you're younger, you used to swap phones to read each other's messages. I also think arranged marriages are the way to hers. Oh, there you go. That's a nice game. It's like when you're younger, you used to swap phones to read each other's messages.
I also think
arranged marriages
are the way to go.
I actually,
no, no,
because my mum,
like the people my mum says,
isn't he gorgeous?
I'm like, no.
I think gorgeousness
is overrated.
I think just
meet someone,
make a decision,
let's just do this together,
come hell or high water
and just fucking suck it up okay
I don't know about that I'd be very particular about who I marry I know that sounds unusual
coming from me but I am actually quite particular about who I marry yeah but an arranged marriage
might have worked out better for me I'll marry fucking anyone what's the date I'm free there
yeah I'll be there
go on sure
I'll have another
I'm actually passing
through Sicily
on the 8th of December
that suits you perfectly
I'll try one again
okay so we have
an episode for next week
I know this is the way
I sit I'm sorry
I'm glad there's a vase
of flowers in the way
because you are
crotch-tastic.
Why are you presenting yourself like that?
I actually always sit like this.
Have you never noticed?
I've never noticed that.
My legs are like on either side of the sofa.
That's the way I sit.
Usually you're in like an office chair
whereas this is...
I know.
Una had to get the office chair.
Our director had to get the office chairs
because I was splaying too much.
You're really presenting yourself there about.
I'm hoping that I'll see you
in my room later
goodbye
I think you'll
be sorted by then
to be honest
I don't think
anyone passing you
a situation like that
is going to leave it all
anyway
on that note
what I was trying
to say there
before Dianne
got turned on
so we've got a main
on Friday
and then we've got our bonus
next week
and then we're
going to see you again
in January
