Troy Parrott, Pat Rabbitte and that Italia 90 Feeling
'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

Mamdani, Miriam O'Callaghan and My Vinted Addiction
'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

DJ Carey, Kevin Federline and Tidy Towns Miracle Cures
'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!

I am Lily Allen, School Sleep-outs and my Achy, Breaky Heart
"Any adult male with a harem of teddies should be in jail, no questions asked'I am back! Bear with me as I attempt to explain away my absence with my usual muddied reasoning and absolutely no clarity whatsoever. Once again, I obsess over my friendship breakups and ponder my future in comedy, musing over my love/hate relationship with stand-up and repeatedly reminding you, the long suffering listener, how tired I am.I also talk about camping out for the homeless and how midnight discos sent me over the edge, rounding it all off with an on-point Lily Allen impression and in good news stories discuss the certified perv that is Andy Windsor's latest tumble down the totem pole. Thank you for still being here, despite me being an absolute nightmare. I promise now we are back up and running, I will be here every week until 2056 at least. Love yas, J x

7 Days Closer to Death and Other Good News Stories
'There is nothing more humbling than trudging away from a computer room you know you've booked.'I'm chatting about throwing my first ever birthday party for my eldest and petting-farm mice working overtime to keep attendees entertained. I alos touch upon my tricky encounter with an Irish influencer circa 8 years ago, losing control of my life and helium balloons and the fun that is drawing a Google search engine on a piece of paper and telling teenagers it's as good as the actual internet.If you have enjoyed the pod, I would be so grateful if you could rate or review us or recommend us to a friend. Love yas! J x
