In short
A bonus episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me where Jo and Vogue trade chaotic, 80s-themed travel and nightlife stories—especially “Cork in the eighties”—plus anecdotes about taxis, pregnancy food rules, and airport mix-ups. They also discuss watching the Charlie Sheen documentary and share Oasis concert plans.
Guests
No guests appear; it’s just the hosts, Jo and Vogue (plus recurring mentions of “Joanne” as a co-host/character in earlier bits).
Key claims
80s travel had far fewer rules (kids roaming, smoking on planes). Charlie Sheen is “self-aware” and “honest” in the documentary. Taxi/airport errors are inevitable for them.
Notable examples
Two kids (8 and 6) accidentally sent from Cork to Gatwick instead of Newcastle; Sheen in a cockpit with no autopilot credentials; a pregnant sushi craving story; Oasis Wembley/Dublin nostalgia and afterparty access.

3:30Vogue Williams:well I mean thanks for the invite we're thrilled to be there Joe did you get your invite? yeah it must have got lost somewhere along the way I assume
3:37Joanne McNally:there's no budget to fly anyone in
3:41Vogue Williams:Joanne where are you? Paul you know I might be in Ireland you don't know you don't know where I am if you're in Ireland we'd know
3:48Joanne McNally:you're wanking off to the house we'd all know about it so So anyway, couldn't get a taxi down. I'm in the Leinster recording this. Couldn't get a taxi. Couldn't get a taxi. Taxi cancelled. The whole thing was really, really stressful. Then, and it's all like a one-way system around there. Eventually, the guy rings me. He's like, where are you? He's like, where are you? I see a guy on the phone pulling up in a taxi. He's waving at me. I wave back. I'm like, all right, okay. Thank God. He's like, John. I was like, yeah. So I climb in and off we go.
4:20Vogue Williams:She's misgendered again.
4:23Joanne McNally:Off we go. and we're about seven minutes down the road and he goes, airport, yeah? And I was like, no. He's like, you're John. And I was like, well, like, yeah, do you want? He pointed, he goes, no, no, this is like, it's John. I was like, fuck. So it just so happened that when I was on the phone to my guy, he was like, I'm pulling up now. I've no idea where he was pulling up to. Anyway, yeah. And I was like, oh, for fuck's sake. So that's why I'm so late. I apologise. I was halfway to the airport.
4:49Vogue Williams:But it would be easy to rob us. In America,
4:51Joanne McNally:they lend their taxis out and stuff I nearly took the heart out of a woman who was parked at traffic lights in Clapham a couple of weeks ago because I just I sped around the reg and I got into the back of it and the poor she was like and I was like and I realised my mistake almost immediately John I'm sorry if you're driving a Prius lock your fucking doors
5:17Vogue Williams:this has to stop
5:19Joanne McNally:if you're driving
5:21Vogue Williams:If you're driving a white Prius. I think that that's actually kind of fair enough. She wasn't actually.
5:28Joanne McNally:She was in a Land Rover thing.
5:31Vogue Williams:Joanne just hops in the back of a Ferrari. I'm sorry. I read the red wrong.
5:36Joanne McNally:I scared the life out of her. And then I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. She's like, get out. I was like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah.
5:43Vogue Williams:And now what about poor John who's missed his flight?
5:47Joanne McNally:Oh, John.
5:48Vogue Williams:I'm more concerned about the taxi driver who wanted a ferry to the airport and then he's stuck dropping her around the corner. Two complete strangers waving at each other. He's putting the suitcase in. I'm sitting in the back. John. Off to Terminal 2. What does that say about you that you'll literally answer to anything? Anything. John.
6:06Joanne McNally:Yeah. Well, John, you know the way now, you'd get John and you'd get Janann's and all that jazz. You know, you just hop in, don't you? I'm a hopper. Yeah, I always think though, oh God, no. Hop in first, ask questions later. and at the same time look what happened you know this might be interesting but then the next guy got in got into each other's taxi men and like I value them and we need them but they like I was trying to do some work and he's like are you doing a bit of work yeah and I was like yeah and he's like so when you're going back to the UK I was like and where are you from originally I was like I'm just and what do you do for work I said I'm putting together a presentation oh okay I said I'm a bit stressed and everyone's like oh okay okay okay and where are you living in London and you're like I know I know and I love I love them when you're in the mood for it it's great but when you're like I know in fairness
6:56Vogue Williams:when someone's when someone's driving me I prefer that's why I do do stuff like that when I'm in the back I just get loads of stuff done on my phone but that's why I drive myself a lot in Ireland because when you're in Ireland there's no there's no such thing as a quiet ride you have to chat so I remember I remember once I think I was pregnant was with I was pregnant with Gigi and I got in the car and I'd had a delicious a delicious sushi just before I had gotten the plane but I had really bad morning sickness You're not supposed to be
7:25Joanne McNally:eating raw fish when you're pregnant you know
7:27Vogue Williams:Oh back off Bernie gives the baby fins Sorry that is what Gigi was craving What can I say So I had had and it was actually the beef teriyaki No wonder she's obsessed with mermaids I had I had She has gills I always wondered why she had gills Anyway I got in the taxi and it was a man and I used to go to school with his daughter and I was out the window like a dog panting just trying not to vomit I was like oh god and he just kept asking me stuff about school and I was like please Jesus oh god there's nothing worse
8:02Joanne McNally:Do you know a friend a friend of mine who will I will do my very best not to identify in this conversation or she'll brain me was like finished pregnancy but the baby was still in so like we're talking the hardest time eight months or whatever she was just done she was over it and she was in a restaurant a Japanese restaurant and she ordered a glass of wine yeah and they said no no no that's exactly what they said they said no oh my god yeah they said no well actually truth be told they gave her one and when she asked for a second one they said no yeah if I'm being they said no they said sorry not in your condition and she well stormed out of the place knocking things over with the belly got home and wrote a very strong worded email to the restaurant it's kind of not
8:57Vogue Williams:it's not their business to be doing something like that you can't do it I've IBS
Read the full transcript
8:59Joanne McNally:you don't know
9:01Vogue Williams:I mean you're not
9:02Joanne McNally:supposed to even comment on people being pregnant until the foot's come out that's like the whole reel but yeah it's none of their business no you shouldn't say that
9:08Vogue Williams:and as well that's the thing that you said about sushi and stuff like that I genuinely really craved sushi with theatre I used to eat it all the time get it folk And what are two arms friends doing? Drinking. So I will drink. Not the first time I've been forced to point this out, but this is not a medical podcast. Do not take this advice.
9:30Joanne McNally:Only at the end and at the beginning and a little bit in the middle of their pregnancies, Vogue. There's days that go past they don't drink with their pregnancy. Just FYI.
9:49Vogue Williams:We've got Running Away in the Noughties or Cork in the 80s. I might take the kids to Cork to the markets over Christmas. Take the kids to Cork.
9:56Joanne McNally:I've got shows in Cork. Cork, Cork, Cork, Cork. Peanophile, Cork, Cork, Cork. January, Cork. Cork, Abreu, Cork. Oh, fuck.
10:02Vogue Williams:Guys, do you want me to be dying at your show? I want to just go enjoy it and be like... I'm going to go a couple of times anyway, so it's fine.
10:10Joanne McNally:Well, don't come if you're pregnant because you only have nine drinks in that case.
10:16Joanne McNally:according to my friends labour rules
10:19Vogue Williams:okay Cork in the 80s Dear Vogue and Joanne and Jo Bloody Love Your Pod gets me through the week based on your kids roaming free in the 80s chat I just wanted to share this story which still blows my mind my gorgeous husband is from rural County Cork and every summer as a child he was put on an airplane with his little brother by themselves luggage tags securely tied around their necks to spend the holidays with his aunt and uncle in Newcastle, England. This was the mid-80s. Wow.
10:50Joanne McNally:Love Newcastle.
10:51Vogue Williams:One summer, nice aunt and uncle. One summer, when he had just turned eight and his younger brother was barely six, they were put on a plane at Cork Airport, which their mother thought was destined for Newcastle. Oh, no. Nairobi. Imagine, imagine their confusion when they accidentally arrived at Gatwick to find no relatives waiting for them. Oh God, the little, oh God, that's younger than T. They had no money. Eight and six years old. Oh my God. No phones. God bless the 80s. And a member of the cabin crew had to check into a hotel with them to find out who the hell these stray kids were and how to reunite them with their family.
11:34Joanne McNally:Wow.
11:35Vogue Williams:The kicker for me though is the flight they were supposed to take off on actually departed a day later. My mother-in-law hadn't even, she was so excited to get rid of them. My mother-in-law hadn't even taken them to the airport on the correct day of travel. My husband still remembers being alone at Gatwick with food tokens while calls were urgently being made by the flight team and trying to get the courage to take his little brother to McDonald's by himself.
12:05Joanne McNally:Sorry now, like talk about a lot of flaws in the process there. firstly flaw from the mother getting the wrong day and putting them on any plane that turned up they were all locked
12:17Vogue Williams:and smoking on planes in those days that's why it just happened they're all deranged
12:20Joanne McNally:any plane that slowed down and threw a couple of steps out there like throw them in there but then to have no one checked their tickets and all when they got on the plane like that is crazy was this back when the kind of children fly for free thing is that why they're so relaxed about it
12:33Vogue Williams:no but you can kids can fly for a flight on their own they can go to chaperone I think from age 10
12:40Joanne McNally:I mean, to be honest, Gatwick, I was genuinely expecting it to be way worse.
12:45Vogue Williams:Yeah, Gatwick's grand, Gatwick's grand, but still, it's pretty far from Newcastle.
12:48Joanne McNally:I wonder if they went to Newcastle or back to Ireland. Yeah, I remember when I was traveling, when I was in, when I went to school in France, remember? French rapping Rowley's. Bonjour, bonjour. Putain, putain. That same prostitute in French. Arrête. Putain, arrête. Look at that flow. Look at that phlegmy flow That's such a natural Anyway
13:11Vogue Williams:I'd say I know more French Since you aren't
13:14Joanne McNally:Excusez-moi
13:16Vogue Williams:Pardon moi Pardon moi
13:17Joanne McNally:Excusez-moi Putain
13:21Vogue Williams:I think I just called you I think I just called you a whore Cogno Isn't Cogno That's Italian sorry It's Italian yeah That means motherfucker doesn't it Anyway
13:29Joanne McNally:I was I don't I'm actually not sure I was on my own And I was 16 years of age And I was trying to get through Charles de Gaulle Airport and I had to ring my father, God rest his self, who was looking at the map, a map of Charles de Gaulle Airport to tell me where to go. Why I was being, I don't know, maybe I could have asked someone, I don't know, but I was like 16 and needed my father's assistance via the telephone to get through Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sorry, you laugh. Have you been in Charles de Gaulle Airport? Even though I did speak fluent French. Yes, I am.
14:00Vogue Williams:And I still don't think even to this day you'd be able to get through it alone. Bonjour, nous, plus tons.
14:08Joanne McNally:terminal 48 please so yeah I'd say in the next year
14:11Vogue Williams:because you're you're on tour now in the next year I guarantee Joanne will be on the wrong flight somewhere somewhere it's going to happen this year I just know it will happen I don't it's coming
14:21Joanne McNally:adults it's very hard for adults to break into airplanes these days since the 9-11 thing they've really cracked down on that they certainly have it seems a particularly 80s issue if you know what I mean where everyone was just roaming around yeah and there was very little rules really
14:36Vogue Williams:No, I think you can still do it. I'm telling you, I did it. I know I did it 20 years ago, in fairness.
14:40Joanne McNally:In the 80s, you'd walk on, there'd be a kid smoking a cigar in the cockpit. Do you know what I mean?
14:44Vogue Williams:Can you imagine the smoking? Do you remember in restaurants, it was like smoking area, non-smoking area, and someone would just be smoking and blowing all this smoke in your face. So what's the difference? Why aren't we all, just say smoking.
14:58Joanne McNally:Talk about a deluded boundary. Speaking of airplanes, Vogue, I started watching the Charlie Sheen documentary, didn't you? I loved it. Yeah. He's way more likeable than I thought he was going to be. I really didn't expect to like him as much as I did.
15:11Vogue Williams:Yeah, switched on. Like, no, I don't think, there's no shit. He's not full of shit. No. He's really honest. And I really liked him.
15:18Joanne McNally:He feels quite self-aware. Like, he's not, like, he's not, yeah, he's famous and he's a celeb and all that jazz, but he's kind of like, I get it. It's all nonsense, you know.
15:26Vogue Williams:And he's not woe as me. Like, he's had it. No. Yeah, he did go through a really tough time, but he's like, I'm not blaming anyone else.
15:32Joanne McNally:It was down to me. But you remember the story that he told about the plane? So again, it was in the 80s and it was in the height of his career. And everyone, he was like super famous. And the pilot came out and was like, oh, come into the cockpit, come into the cockpit. So they put him in the cockpit. And they were like, oh, wear my hat. And he's like, okay. And then he was like, he put the tie on. And then Charlie sat in one of the pilot's seats. And then he asked the pilot the code for, I think it's George. Is George the code for autopilot? Or the autopilot. He's like, is George flying the plane?
16:03Joanne McNally:And then the pilot, because Charlie was holding on to the controller and the pilot switched. 300 people, 300 people sitting on the plane. Charlie Sheen. Not a cred between them. He's no credentials. Deranged as well. Off his tits. The pilot switches off the autopilot and goes, not anymore. I.e. you're now flying the plane. So Charlie's now flying the plane, whacked off his tits with 300 people, clueless down the back that someone with no qualifications as they fly on the plane. And then eventually, Charlie was like kind of getting really into it and he was kind of trying to like turn it around.
16:34Joanne McNally:I don't know what he was doing. I don't know what he was doing. And your mum was like, okay, that's enough and turned the autopilot back on. Sorry, that's the 80s. That's the 80s.
16:42Vogue Williams:That just reminded me of the weirdest story. I don't know if I've told you this. When I lived in Aberdeen, we met like two proper policemen, like policemen with police hats and everything like that. And like they came up to, yeah, they came up to our, they gave us a lift home and came up to our apartment when they were on duty. I've just remembered that
17:01Joanne McNally:Did they indeed?
17:03Vogue Williams:Come on, like I was putting anything out Well I mean what did they come up for? I don't know, I just remembered them being there for a while and I was like they probably shouldn't be here
17:14Joanne McNally:that's against the law It's against the law I knew a guy who knew a guy so one of my friend's brothers was a policeman, this is in the UK he was the biggest drug dealer anyone knew and he's now in prison for selling drugs stop and he's a policeman
17:30Vogue Williams:well look at all the people that then go to like the prison guards who go to prison because they're riding someone in prison it's like I mean if you've got someone like the hot felon being thrown at you like what are you gonna do
17:40Joanne McNally:power does terrible things to people every no one is above a bit of crookedness I think if you move in those circles and you're and you're I think sometimes I think the guards are fucking almost as bad as the crims look at us I'm sure I hope into a Garty now after this except for the bands Band Garty they're above the law they can do anything we're alright
18:04Vogue Williams:oh my god I forgot to tell you I'm going to Oasis this weekend
18:07Joanne McNally:she's going again going again
18:09Vogue Williams:she's going again
18:10Joanne McNally:good for you

18:36Joanne McNally:It's going to be fab. Now do you I've heard that sometimes they don't walk out holding hands so give us the goss.
18:41Vogue Williams:I will. Yeah I've heard there's been a couple of
18:44Joanne McNally:there's been a couple of occasions they haven't walked out holding hands.
18:46Vogue Williams:Well I've got the nod to go into the family and friends bar.

19:06Vogue Williams:They said you have to leave at a certain time because Joanne didn't get out till 5am. That's that.
19:12Joanne McNally:Sorry, there's a Friends at Fonny Bar. That was the after party.
19:16Vogue Williams:Yeah, that's not as good as the Friends. I saw some people at that after party and I thought, God, thank God I didn't get the nod for that. Was that me?

No, I'll always say Dublin was better. Have you been yet, Jo? Yeah, he has. Yeah, I was at Wembley. I have been to Wembley. I only went the once, though.
