Podcast Summary: My Therapist Ghosted Me

Episode: “TV Nostalgia, Crustaceans Revisited & Moving To Mars”

Released: April 10, 2026 | Hosts: Vogue Williams & Joanne McNally

Episode Overview

In this lively episode of "My Therapist Ghosted Me," Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally connect from opposite sides of the globe, with Joanne beaming in from Melbourne. The discussion zig-zags from the chaos of comedy tour schedules and Melbourne’s culinary delights, through an increasingly elaborate debate on luxury goods, nostalgia for weird children’s TV, Easter memories, the ethics of fake designer bags, and—for a final silly twist—whether they’d survive in space or on Mars. The pair’s signature blend of raw honesty, sharp one-liners, and affectionate ribbing is front and center, with special attention to tattoo regrets, crustacean art, and the baffling cost and labor of high fashion.

Key Discussion Points & Notable Moments

Recording Remotely: Melbourne Stories & Food Obsessions

• [00:43–02:59] Joanne checks in from Melbourne, rhapsodizing over the food (“the sandwiches, works of art”), coffee culture, and her habit of becoming a regular at one café (Juno's).
  • Quote: “If I like something, I like it. I’ll just go back and back and back again, like a radical drainpipe.” – Joanne (01:55)

Tour Trouble: Losing Track of Time (and Space)

• [03:45–07:16] Joanne admits to losing track of time during her Melbourne comedy show, accidentally going 25 minutes over (“an hour forty!”). Vogue jokingly demands penance for pushing the set past 11 pm.
  • Quote: “I would never lie to you to your face, but I will lie to you via text message.” – Joanne (06:05)
  • "You should email each of those ticket holders and say, sorry about the kerfuffle...I'm going to send you a payment link." – Vogue (08:01)

Easter: Childhood Memories & Parental Tactics

• [08:38–13:19] A blend of nostalgia and skepticism as Vogue talks through her kids’ Easter traditions, Gigi’s refusal to participate (“If I feel I'm not going to excel, I'm not doing it”), and Joanne’s memories of Easter Sundays in 1980s Ireland (“absolute carnage, chaos”).
  • Quote: “If I feel I'm not going to excel, I've no f**ing time for it.”* – Joanne (10:35)

TV Nostalgia: 2000s Reboots and Australian Weirdness

• [13:19–17:25] Vogue lists the wave of 2000s reboots: Hannah Montana, 13 Going on 30, Harry Potter, Devil Wears Prada 2, and the failed Buffy revival. The chat then devolves into love for oddball kids’ shows like "Round the Twist" and "Pug Wall."
  • Quote: “Round the Twist was this weird...child version of Black Mirror. One episode...she had fingernails all over her body.” – Joanne (15:20)

Tattoos: Impulse and Regret

• [17:25–22:29] Joanne announces plans to get her first tattoo—possibly “bliss” in a trendy font above her knee—prompting Vogue to recoil in horror and recount Spenny’s regrettable ink.
  • Quote: “Please tell me it's not just something you saw yesterday on the Internet.” — Vogue (17:35)
  • Joanne: “I saw it yesterday on the Internet.” (17:55)
  • Discussion includes joke tattoo ideas ("live laugh love" on her labia bone, "Fungi the Dolphin" chest piece).

High Fashion Absurdity & Ethics

• [22:42–29:12] The duo dissect the excesses of luxury fashion: Hermes surfboards, Dior’s shocking markup (bags produced for $57, sold for nearly $3k), and the revelation of exploitative labor practices.
  • Quote: “Sorry, that is amoral...but it is amoral.” – Joanne (23:54)
  • Vogue’s “toxic trait”: trying luxury items in shops, then hunting for them cheaper on Vinted.

Fake Bags: The Thrill of the Chase

• [29:13–31:20] Joanne reminisces about the “cartel” vibes of buying knockoff bags in New York, complete with furtive alley deals and faux tension with police (“I'm illegal but I'm legal”).
  • “Buying that bag is way more exciting than going into an actual shop...I'd rather be dragged down an alleyway.” – Joanne (30:49)

Crustacean Art & Shopping in St. Barth’s

• [24:26–25:39] Revisiting the story of Spencer’s birthday lobster—now a giant mounted shell in storage—Vogue is looking to buy another crustacean, perhaps a crab, for the collection.
  • “I am buying a crab friend for the lobster. And I’m gonna buy you crabs for your birthday.” – Vogue (25:33)

Space & Artemis 2: Why Bother?

• [32:24–36:16] The conversation shifts to space—the Artemis 2 mission, flybys of the moon, and the enduring indifference both hosts have to space tourism.
  • Space nostalgia: “Space is huge right now. It’s skinny jeans. It’s Juicy Couture...It’s happening.” – Joanne (32:24)
  • “I enjoy gravity. I just like being down here.” – Vogue (33:23)
  • They joke about opening a service station on the moon (“Apple Green”) and what they wish space smelled like.

Notable Factual Detours

• [36:16–38:17] The toilet on Artemis being blocked (confirmed by producer Joe), a callback to past urban legends about “death by falling frozen urine.”
  • “I would never want to be an astronaut. I don't want to go to space.” – Vogue (33:13)
  • “You age slower in space...Scrap everything, we're moving to Mars!” – Joanne (33:48–33:56)

The Hosts' Tone & Chemistry

The episode is classic Vogue & Joanne: sharply irreverent, packed with running in-jokes, plenty of mutual mockery, and heartfelt asides. They embrace the ridiculous in everything from parenting, nostalgia, and impulse tattoos, to questionable shopping decisions and the utter futility (for them) of space travel.

Who Should Listen?

Fans of rambling, off-the-cuff comedy chat with no sacred cows; anyone craving adult conversation that manages to be equal parts relatable, bizarre, and insightful—with just enough insanity to make the mundane hilarious.
