Episode Summary: Brooklyn, Morocco & Heated Rivalry

Hosts: Vogue Williams & Joanne McNally
Date: January 23, 2026

Main Theme

This episode offers a hilarious, candid conversation between Vogue and Joanne as they catch up in-studio. They weave personal stories, pop culture analysis, and sharp banter around three big topics: Joanne’s wet and wild trip to Morocco (and her newfound appreciation for Moroccan men), a deep-dive into the recent drama within the Beckham family (specifically Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive public statement), and their enthusiastic review of the gay hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry.” The tone is irreverent, confessional, and gossipy, with rapid-fire asides, pop culture detours, and classic MTGM honesty.

Tone & Style

Unfiltered, quick-witted, reckless with pop culture, and intimate. Vogue and Joanne maintain their signature blend of Irish humour, pointed honesty, and utter disregard for PR polish.

Recap

If you missed this episode, you missed a rollicking journey: from icy Moroccan “thirst traps” thwarted by bad weather, through viral Irish tabloid sagas, to the mother of all family bust-ups in the Beckhams’ inner circle. Along the way, Joanne and Vogue dissected the sex appeal of “Heated Rivalry,” poked at UK and Irish oddballs, and delivered a whirlwind, meme-infused, take-no-prisoners verdict on Brooklyn Beckham’s public drama. Their advice—half joking, half wise—is clear: always think twice before posting, and if your son accuses you of lap dancing at a billionaire wedding, just keep dancing.

Next week: More on the Stephen Bartlett and Chris Williamson drama, plus updates on the Brooklyn/Beckham rift if (when!) more goes down.
