What happens at Vogue's baby shower?
This is a global production.
I don't treat myself because I'm like, there's no point. You're alone. No one cares.
It's just, you just have that kind of look. Do I? I could go away for three weeks and order the post box.
I have that kind of look. You just, it's so unfortunate. I don't know why. Well, this sounds like growth, folk.
Sounds like growth.
Hello and welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally and Jo Attawell.
This is the medical episode where we give medical advice. No. Only medical advice and talk a lot about alcohol and drugs. Trained. This is where we give trained, qualified advice and watch Jo's eyes leave his body.
I've much to say about politics and religion, so settle in.
What you're now going to hear is quite a large edit, and in a few seconds' time, you'll hear them saying goodbye, and that'll be the end of the podcast.
Al, we do give advice now, Joe. We might go down the political route.
We do give a little bit of unsolicited, unexpert advice, which people can qualify as.
Do you know what? As a currently sober person, I found myself... in a vehicle where I was driving because I was the only sober one. And everyone else had had a lot to drink. And both religion and politics came up in the car. And it did not end well. Really?
How does alcohol influence social gatherings?
I was about to pull over. It was a car full of adults. I was about to pull over and tell them to get out. Was this at the baby shower?
Was this a load of... Women in pink dresses kicking off about politics in the Middle East. Yeah. I had a baby shower based around Iran. A politically themed hen. That's what you're saying you had.
Yes. Glover.
Instead of a pinata, it was like a global map and everyone like chose a country to argue for and against.
Well, you know whose head was on the pinata. I had a pinata of different people's heads and everyone got to choose one.
Oh, that's a great, that's actually a great idea.
All political views represented.
All political views represented. Well, actually, oh yeah, sorry, at the hen, I was like, not here, Joe, we have her. No, God, no.
I mean, yeah.
Amongst the dreamers.
Everyone's calling it, my friend Johanna was like, it's a baby hen. And I was like, that's exactly what it is. It's not a baby shower, it's a baby hen.
I actually kept... I just referred to it as a hen.
I forgot it was a shower. It wasn't really a shower. It kind of was a hen. It was exactly what I had wanted.
What challenges arise from friendships with toxic individuals?
It was quite tame to begin with. So I had a baby hen... I'm not going to the shower. I wanted to get some friends together that I won't see when, obviously, when I'm not able to travel to Ireland anymore. And the only times I'm going back between now and the baby is when I'm working. So I won't see that big group of friends.
When you outgrow them, basically, you're like, I'm going to outgrow these people very soon. I won't see them again. Things are going well for me.
It was a goodbye lunch. Yes, it was.
When I'm too cool for these bitches, I'm just like, see them now because come 2027, baby. Gone.
I'll be gone. I did. I said a farewell speech at the end and they all understand the position. No, but everyone really got the brief and it was all going very well. I was like, God, this is very relaxed. And it was 2.30 in the day, but Amber had got this... She loves this slushy machine. Our friend owns it. He owns this company called Remarkable Cocktails. And basically, you can also get a slushy version where it's like slushy daiquiris and slushy margaritas. And I've never seen someone so upset because it wasn't turning to slush. And we'd had it on since 10 in the morning. It turns out she hadn't got the right switch on. So by half to everybody was completely sober, like really like just it was felt very grown up.
It felt like a baby shower. And I was like, this isn't what I wanted. Then the machine turned slush and within one hour... Oh, really?
What advice is given to someone feeling isolated from friends?
Yeah.
I've never seen the wheels fall off so quickly. I think I lasted 45 minutes after that. And I was like, I just have to just go upstairs for a minute.
Oh, because it's because it's soluble.
