Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Hello and welcome to the main episode of My Therapist Goes To Me With Me, Paul Gwilliams and Joanne McNally and... Oh, hi.
Joanne. Joanne. We're all back. We're in the studio! It's ages since we've been physically together. We've been mentally together quite regularly, but physically... Physically, you look great. You look so brown and holidayed. Thank you. That's all fake, you know that? Do you not tan at all?
Well I don't look I don't buzz off tanning I'll buzz off having a tan and now because I'm very well stocked with I can just paint myself brown so why would I bother when I can just sit indoors then and drink and read and eat.
I like to sit in a shade in the shade in a shade under the umbrella I don't like to sit out tanning I like to do stuff
I love a doer. I love having a tan. I love having a tan. But my holiday happy place is sitting in like open plan restaurants. Yeah. With a little umbrella, a little bit of shade and I'm reading and writing and chatting and drinking wine and eating and that's kind of what I like to do.
Has that restaurant shut down in South Africa now that you've left because you were the one who was actually propping it up? Well, the vineyards are all, the vineyards are doing a whip around. They've set up a GoFundMe because there isn't a grape left in them. Not a grape. Yeah.
and say that's what's famous for its wine not anymore I say you have to work on something else you have to look at maybe getting some beer going or something not a grape left even the real grapes I ate them too did you I left them in the sun hoping they'd turn into wine because I drank all the wine did you how many times did you eat at that restaurant that I always sell pictures of oh every day and then I got embarrassed because I would then try and break it up like do you know because you're like I can't go back there hi Joanne I'm like hey Peter yeah
did you get in the sea once well well well what an interesting question it was only on the last day I looked at the sea and said I didn't get into you once no I don't like to get wet really Joanne I don't know there are sharks in the South African Sea by the way Brendan Courtney, very good friend of mine, was with me and he's a water baby.
So he's like, every time we passed any bit of water, a fucking sink, he was like, hold my bag! And he was in it. So I would just hold his bag while he dipped into the sea and the pool and everything like that.

Chapter 2: What did Joanne do in Cape Town?
How good do you feel coming back from holidays after being training? Yeah, I kept my training going over there because, you know, I'm in my fitness era and I got a trainer. I treated myself to a trainer over there because I was like, my usual holiday state is feral with a capital F. I was like, okay, Joanne, you're in your 40s now. Let's all calm down. Let's take it easy.
So good to train on holidays. And I trained and trained until... I was like, are the wheels coming off there? The last couple of days, because as we know, I extended. I was like, I'm engaging my old self. And I went bananas. Your own holiday mode. I went back. But I kept a lid on it for the guts of two weeks. And when I say a lid, I meant I wasn't just pumping myself full of booze.
And I kept my exercise going. So my mind was clearer. And then on the last three days, because weed and edibles is all legal over there. See that for yourself.
Chapter 3: Did Joanne swim in the sea during her trip?
where your weed is yeah there's like cannibalist shopping centres I walked by this fella this morning and fair enough do whatever you want 25 to 8 he's smoking a spliff when I'm dropping the kids I'm like how can you function for the day well he can't I guess that's the dream just as being like the state of like deadness he'll come to at dinner time he'll be delighted with himself no no no well I anyway because the food in Cape Town is
unreal tomatoes the size of human heads everything's amazing the wine's amazing the coffee's amazing the produce is so fresh everything is huge it's just and the service is so good and not once Not once did they tell me where to fucking sit. I'd walk into restaurants. Sit wherever you want. Now, bearing in mind, I was in everyone for, I was a pretty regular customer.
You just had your own special table. They were like, can I sit anywhere you want? I could have sat at a 12 seater on a patio outside. They wouldn't have said a thing to me. I was like, that's where I love K-Town. But then I knew I was, I was two weeks in an Airbnb and then all the gays left and I went into a hotel because I didn't want to be in the Airbnb by myself just for boredom.
And then I was in the hotel, six days in a hotel, because it's kind of transient hotel. So six days in a hotel is quite a long time. Like no one's there for two weeks. They're there on the way to somewhere else. And on the last day I was like, I'm now the only guest who knows how to use the toaster. So like people would be asking me and I was like managing the toaster.
Chapter 4: How did Joanne manage her fitness while on holiday?
I was like, no, no, no, it's up too high. You're going to have to put it through again. Do you know what I mean? I knew how it all worked. I was like, it's time. It's time to go. Yeah, yeah. It's time to go. I'm like the toaster engineer.
It felt like you were away for way longer, though. It's only three weeks. I'm more the holiday one than you are. So when you go away, it just feels unusual.
She's like, oh, she's out of the country. Where is she? What's she doing? What's my job? So I got out. I got obviously, of course, I treated myself to a weed pen, a weed pen and a bag of edibles. And on the front of the bag, I went into the cannabis shopping center, did my shop, did my weekly shop.
How much does that cost?
you know I've absolutely no idea what the South African rand is how much is a bottle of water I could not tell you obviously I don't know how to do maths or anything and I don't know how much a rand is and I had to really check myself I started using a currency converter because I tipped a girl in a restaurant and she hugged me and I was like what have I done what have I done what have I done she was like thank you so much and I was like fuck give me that back what have I given you then I was like I need to start paying attention how much is a weed pen in South Africa
I say it varies on whatever weed you're getting.
One pound. Sorry, I'll do euro in a minute. One pound is 23 rand.
Here on your work laptop, Google how much a weed pen is in South Africa.
Okay.

Chapter 5: What was the cost of Joanne's purchases in South Africa?
And Bonnie Blue while you're there. Go on. Stop.
I want to talk about her.
One euro is 19 rand. So weed pen.
at the Cannabis Shopping Centre in Seapoint that's where I was that's where I did my weekly shop oh yeah they've got an online very efficient lovely shop it was like spa but for weed about 50 euro grant yeah that's great value I said 50 euro yeah you did yeah great value
I'm a secret stoner I bought a bag of edibles and a weed pen and off I went and there was no one no one had arrived yet because I was out a couple of days before the lads came out and on the front of the pack of the edibles it said very very strong and I had a friend out there and my friend was saying oh they always say that don't worry about it they just say that to eat yeah they always just say that to eat more or sorry they just say that to kind of cover themselves that's what he said yeah how many did you eat well
I don't know what I can say on the podcast. You ate a whole bag? Are you insane? I'd be in an asylum. It doesn't matter how many I ate. The point is, I definitely ate too many. And, you know, and you're like, oh no, here we go. Uh oh. Oh no. And there's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do. They're in the system. You can't get them out. I was like, well, I try and get sick.
And I was like, no, we're not going down that road again. It's already gone into your mind. I'm not relapsing on an edible. So I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
here we go do you know when you're like sitting it's like you're on a wall so you're like here we go came to were you at home or out I was in the Airbnb oh okay that's okay no no no I was in a safe and safe secured once you're alone environment and it came to standing in the pool and I was like oh no no no
no oh no and then I'd come to and I was like Joanne you're in Cape Town because you don't know where you are oh god I'd hate that you're in there was nothing I could do and I was like okay we're going to sleep it off we're going to sleep it off and then I'd be kind of laughing and then I'd come to in another room and could you sleep no well of course I was like sleep it off

Chapter 6: What does Joanne think about the Boyszone documentary?
I know. I haven't watched the whole thing yet though. I did see that and apparently Keith's parents ended up paying for him to go to London to record the song. Yeah, I mean, Louis, like all that stuff. I'm not surprised they don't like Louis. It's like you're kind of pitching them all against each other. It's not great. They'd only two working mics and three dummy mics.
They had to swap them around. I know, but you always have the best singers who do most of the singing. Everyone in the band doesn't have to be a great singer.
oh well no but I guess like look at Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger that was basically Nicole Scherzinger they just they literally didn't eat like the other girls were treated like dancers even though they are so talented yeah but like it was only Nicole Scherzinger yeah I can just I can see why they be I don't know I felt I felt for them
And you always, in these documentaries, there always needs to be a bit of jeopardy. We need the kind of, you need those little moments where you're like, oh my God. I forgot they were as big as they were, to be honest.
I know, so did I. Because I think that, like, I was into them, but then I moved on from them on to Oasis and stuff like that and Prodigy because I was being really cool. Yeah. But, like, all of us loved them when we were younger. Exactly.
Totally. And obviously I had a huge crush on Stephen Gailey. And I felt so bad.
Did you?
Yeah, because he's like the cute one. You didn't fancy Shane? I fancied Shane when my balls dropped. Before my balls dropped, I fancied Stephen Gailey. Oh my God, that always shamed me. And he spent the whole time freaked that someone was going to out him and everything. Oh, that was so bad. I know. The poor thing. I know, because he was like, that's it. If people know I'm gay.
Because this was back, like it's not obviously that long ago, but like... He thought it would ruin his career. He thought it would ruin his career. It was back still at the stage where people were hiding.
