Venting with Julie Jay

'The Christmas Tree experience has bonded myself and my students in a way only people who went through trench warfare together will understand.'I discuss attending Kneecap in the INEC, being the most hated teacher in town and how I am absolutely not in any way miffed at not getting a rake of gifts from the students in my charge. I also discuss my birthday, our closing tally on the Christmas Tree pyramid scheme and touch upon big anniversaries. I make a shocking confession about stolen school uniforms which could land me in jail (I'm very brave) and talk about my big raffle winnings this week.Finally I risk everything by making an absolutely insane comparision between Josef Fritzl and the commonwealth games that will surely have listeners switching off FOREVER.Thank you so much for listening, it means so much. Love yas! J x

"Has your parking ever been so bad that multiple members of your family are contacted?"This week I'm chatting getting embroiled in Christmas tree pyramid schemes and why extra curricular activities are always a terrible idea, as any doctor will tell you.I also talk about the new most embarrassing moment of my life which involves guards, multiple family members, and managing to make an absolute holy show of myself on what is probably both a local and national level. I also talk Other Voices and my exciting rendezvous with Michael D Higgins (did this happen or did it not, listen to the pod to find out!)Thanks so much for listening to me guys. Love, J x

'I haven't felt this alive since 1990'I talk about Troy Parrott being the nation's hero and how this is all smacking of Italia 90, when our dads were forced to step outside their comfort zone and eat lasagne for the first time. I touch upon rumours swirling around the Epstein Files and even more evidence, as if we needed it, that the world is run by perverts and how when born with a terrible surname the only solution is to get ahead of the bullies and embrace the slag by basking in self-loathing.I talk about the HORRENDOUS nickname I earned for approximately two decades which has me so conflicted about my son playing football for Dingle.We're namedropping Pat Rabbitte and reminiscing about him digging holes in dirt with his bare hands, spurred on by a determination to bring MSN to the masses.Finally, I ask the big questions: did Irish mams invent gnocchi? Is Peig Sayers my grandmother? Will I ever be loved by a person other than my dad? It's the big comedy questions. Thanks so much for listening and for being here, it means the world! Love yas, J x

'The Spanish are Confident - Just Ask The Aztecs.'This week I'm chatting as to why Miriam O'Callaghan is influencing all the way to mass conjunctivitis, why Vinted should be banned past 10pm and how Zohran Mamdani's win has me up in the English classroom bopping around like Gwen Stefani.i also talk about my insane experience on Dublin Bus where I was the Keanu Reeves to the driver's Sandra Bullock, and briefly touch upon my five star morning in downtown Tralee (don't be deceived, I'm still a regular person!)Thanks a million for listening and for putting up with my nonsense. Love yas! J x

'Forget cleaning out the cat litter tray, I want you to sleep in it.'I am chatting Selena Gomez' honeymooning with Benny Blanco, DJ Carey's fraud trial (it's the natural segway) and also clarify that IT IS PERFECTLY OKAY TO BREAK UP WITH FRIENDS AND I AM TOTALLY FINE. Whoops - forget to take the caps lock off there bu the sentiment stands, I am nothing if not a dog with a bone and clearly suffering from a case of the first world problems. In other words, I am a born podcaster.I also share a hilarious, intimate, sensual story involving my doctor and a flu vaccine nasal spray. Thanks so much for being here, and for listening. Love yas!
