This episode of Telling Everybody Everything is brought to you by BBC Sounds, where you can listen to episodes of Miss Me with Lily Allen and McKita Oliver twice a week.

They're best friends, and they're inviting you into their transatlantic catch-ups giving insight into their lives

and picking apart the world around them as only two opinionated sharp and funny women can.

They get into pop culture, politics, music, family, love life and death.

You know, real talk, from real friends. I love Miss Me on BBC Sounds because I can feel the close lifelong friendship that these besties have.

What a vibe.

The juiciest anecdotes, unique insights.

Therapy can give you the self-awareness to build a social life that doesn't drain your battery. Or maybe like Bobby and me, you're the self-awareness to build a social life that doesn't drain your battery.

Or maybe like Bobby and me,
