I Said What I Said with Shane McCarthy

This week, Shane is asking the question on everyone’s mind… when did a night out in Ireland become so expensive? He and Katie compare notes on what they have spent on nights out recently, and let’s just say some of the numbers are enough to make your eyes water.
Shane also chats about his upcoming trip abroad, what he is looking forward to most, and why getting away is badly needed.
Judge Shane returns with a fresh batch of listener dilemmas sent in by his TikTok followers. What starts as giving advice quickly turns into complete chaos as Shane shares stories and opinions he has never revealed before. Including one unbelievable moment where he admits to telling someone he was dead.
As always, expect plenty of laughs, outrageous stories, questionable advice, and the kind of conversations that only happen on I Said What I Said.

Shane McCarthy is back in the studio and still buzzing after his sold out live show.
After months of planning, excitement, chaos, and plenty of nerves, Shane takes listeners behind the scenes of one of the biggest nights of his career so far. From the build up before stepping on stage, to the moments the audience never got to see, and of course the afterparty and celebrations that followed, nothing is off limits.
Plus, it’s time for another round of Judge Shane as Shane tackles listeners’ dilemmas sent in through his socials. What starts as an attempt to offer advice quickly turns into hilarious tangents, questionable opinions, and plenty of laughs along the way.
If you couldn’t make the sold out live show, this is your backstage pass to everything that happened before, during, and after a night Shane will never forget.
Expect behind the scenes stories, plenty of laughs, and the usual dose of I Said What I Said chaos.

This week on I Said What I Said, Shane is joined by content creator Deb K all the way from Derry for a funny, honest, and very relatable chat about life, nights out, social media, and feeling like you’re outgrowing things around you.
The pair chat Slane Castle, content creation, Facebook earnings, and the pressure of trying to build bigger opportunities while living outside major cities. Deb opens up about loving Derry while also feeling like she may eventually need to leave home to grow, something Shane admits he completely relates to with Kerry.
Things quickly get crazy when the pair play “Would You Rather” and “Who’s More Likely To,” leading to hilarious stories, brutal honesty, and answers that reveal far more than expected. One question even sends Shane into the story of how he somehow got barred from a place in Limerick… despite insisting it absolutely was not his fault.

This week on I Said What I Said, Shane catches up with Katie for one of the wildest conversations yet.
What starts with a chat about the hantavirus quickly spirals into life, death, fate, time travel, fortune tellers, and bizarre “The Simpsons predicted this” theories that Shane cannot stop thinking about.
Shane opens up like never before, sharing his genuine belief that time travel could exist… despite never watching Back to the Future.
The episode also takes a surprisingly emotional turn as Shane reflects on school, gives shout outs to teachers who truly helped him through difficult times, and shares hilarious stories from his younger years.

This week on I Said What I Said, Shane McCarthy is joined by father and daughter TikTok creators Kathlin and Terry Maughan for one of the most honest conversations yet.
They open up about the hate they received after going viral online and reveal that a lot of it actually came from within their own community. Shane also speaks candidly about how bad his anxiety became at one point, admitting there were certain places he avoided going because of the judgement and abuse he was getting online.
Terry shares his own experience with depression and the moment he realised he needed help, while the group have a powerful conversation about mental health within the Traveller community and why so many young Traveller men are struggling in silence. They also speak about the fear of being labelled “soft” for showing emotion and why that mindset needs to change.
There are lighter moments too, including the hilarious story behind the first video that sent Kathlin and Terry massively viral. Terry also shares a touching moment about raising his daughter, explaining that while traditions exist, he wants her to live life her own way and make her own choices.
Funny, emotional, honest, and eye opening all at once
