(01:52):
I suppose in her remit she isa radio host too, and a
very good actor. She's been onbefore. She could be on every week.
She's absolutely class. I don't thinkwe're related, but you look at
here's Laura many creating Laura. Howare you doing? We were going normally.

(02:17):
I have a NATO, but Laurais one of them people you don't
have to have an that it's literallyjust go because the nat there is what
the podcast is anyway, really exactlynaturing is all I've got. You're looking
tremendous. Oh stop it. Ithink I'm in good light and I'm not
pregnant. It makes a ferocious difference. When I always said it myself,

(02:38):
I was the same way myself.They steal your beauty apparently, well apparently
the girls steal your beauty and theboys make you more beautiful. So I've
had two boys, so they've donethere. They've done their job. Well,
it isn't pregnancy full of all thatout shy talk like they talk,
and you end up. My thingis you end up saying it yourself,

(03:00):
like I find when I meet people, I'd be like, oh, you're
carrying it very high. It mustbe a boy, and I might get
my head going you're a fucking agent. But it just passes on from generation
to generator. I think it's importantto note as well, though, Tom,
that I am sitting down now assomebody that's had three sections, you're
getting you're getting the good top view. Like if I stood up, I'm
just a mess below the belly button. Do you know what I mean,

(03:21):
there's no saving that area. Iam what I am? The gearbox is
unrecoverable. Well, the fanny isstill intact, but oh yeah, of
course the gearbox isn't good, Nick, But the roof, it's a convertible.
You're after rolling the thing a fewtimes across the field. Now,
okay, well, I tell youthose abdominal muscles there's just no recouping them.

(03:44):
After three they're just they're done.They're done. Far. It's a
mad It was a decision one likethey want to go. Sure, look
we'll just go straight in. Iknow they didn't put a door there,
but let's fucking cut. I knowwho thought we'll see you? Of course,
yeah, yeah, Caesar thought itwas a good idea. But in
all fairness, like you go,we're going in the front door. That's

(04:05):
it, you mad fucker. Putdown that knife. But do you know
what Caesar for sure would a shoptonbeing cut, Yeah, not a builders
providers being cute, because he'd giveit a go. Yeah, he'd give
anything to go. And I noticedthis time on my third so this is
my third section, I noticed thistime that I knew the consultant right.

(04:26):
So the first two times I wentpublic. So it's like it could be
anyone, could be anyone rooting aroundin there. That the third time fellows
off the street. The third timeI had met consultant many many times,
and when he was doing the section, I felt like he was kind of
going, what do you think ofthis? He was really pleased with his

(04:46):
handiwork. He was kind of like, oh, I did that very well.
There got a big load of scaretissue removed for you. He was
so proud, it was, andI was quite proud of him as well.
It was a lovely experience, howlike, what's the what are they?
What are the key? The keythings you're looking for in a consultant?
Tiny hands, gentle hands, gentlehands, calm disposition. Yes,

(05:11):
this fella also says sloan when youleave the room, which I appreciated that.
You know, it leads me tobelieve he has a rich inner life.
Yeah. He was everything you'd wantif you were to draw and imagine
a consultant. He was it.Yeah, just wouldn't was on for a
small bit of crack, but nottoo much crack. You know, you

(05:32):
could make a joke and he'd appreciateit, but he wouldn't be like howl
and over your vagina. Yeah,because at the same time he's thinking,
that's hundreds of yours falling off theinvoice if we become friends there, So
yeah, exactly know he was.He was lovely and actually my favorite part
of the section this time. Idon't know how we've gone straight into see
sections. My favorite part was it'sin cuh So cumh is a you know,

(06:00):
versity hospital. So in the middleof my section this time, they
asked could some students come in,Like I'm in the middle of my section.
I'm like, come on away,come on away, in lads.
So suddenly a whole load of shit, God help us, little girls and
boys came in like obviously maybe firstyear of it. And I'm up on
the table and all my glory andyou can see the a nurse took a

(06:25):
picture when when my baby was born, so obviously they're taking a picture from
we'll say my head, yes,looking down towards my tummy. But in
the picture you can see the purestudent that was on the other side,
and he just he looks like aman that is going to go and do
a trade because because he's just likethis is not for me. He looks

(06:47):
he's on the site now in melancholicjust happy out with yourself, smoking figs.
Give it. He's only just comingto it, just he really you
can see so in the beautiful magicalphotographs where my baby arises, I now
also have this other child whose solike like I used to work on the

(07:09):
radio and CRK, I used workin quarks right of m And the Sais
was making kind of chit chat withme because at the section it's quite overwhelming
and like, you know, you'renot aware. You are aware of what's
going on, but you can't reallyfeel it. So the Anissis was kind
of making chit chat and all this, and in the middle of the section
she goes to me, Laura,what was Neil Prindevile, like just one
of the fellas on the radio.I was like, I do not expect

(07:32):
to be having this chat in themiddle of my section. I was like,
it was very nice, but it'sjust such a weird It's such a
weird, weird thing if you wereto think about it, like it's it's
bizarre, but bizarre what's been doneto me? Yeah? Yeah, I
suppose since the dawn of time.But it is relatively new Well, I

(07:54):
don't know how old it is andwhatever, but to happen once upon it,
once upon a time to be on. Probably a midwife is sorting you
out, you know whatever. Nowyou have a whole team of students coming
in with clipboards going huh and they'retilting their head to the side all of
the same time like a like agroup of puppies. And they were so
nice. One guy came up andsaid, thanks so much for letting us

(08:15):
in. And I'm like, sure, what else could I be doing?
Like as in, I'm very unawareof mainly what's going you know, I'm
trying. I'm trying to keep myhead away from whatever is going on.
It feels like and it feels likesomebody I imagine to me, it feels
like I'm a handbag and there's somebodyrooting for something in the bottom of the
back. Yeah, yeah, howit feels. And then they find it

(08:37):
and then it takes a bit ofeffort to pull out. It was a
happy time. So yeah, that'sjust a little quick update of what I've
been up to. Like a bunchof keys with a hooky thing on it
after catching a thread inside, you'regonna come out yeah, yeah, oh
will you jesus yeah, or theytried to put something into the bag that
was actually a bit too big,so it's a bit of a struggle.
That last moment is a little bitof a together out And then he the

(08:58):
consultant held pretty up my baby,as in like, you know, look
at you, look what you've made, and also look at how well I
did the whole job. Yeah,I think, yeah, he was probably
leading to that you did very well. But might I point out I might
point out that I had your bowlin my hand a minute ago and I
but all sort of that. Yeah, it was gas weird weird times.

(09:22):
I like, I LIKELF checking myselffrom being such a soft spot having soft
spot for people that use like signoffs like that because I have to be
self critical of myself and they're notthat fucking charming Tom. But honestly,
when somebody does say something like slan, it just has a bit of extra
thought, doesn't it. There's noneed like it's it's yes, it's a

(09:43):
word we all know, but itis almost a person's signature by Yeah,
somebody I definitely you know, wouldbe down the R C y C.
But at the same time, likeisn't a bollix. There's a there was
For me, there was a kindnessabout Slan that I was like, there
was a warmth about it that yoused. If he didn't say it then I

(10:05):
used to be a bit like,what's wrong with the baby? You haven't
said something? Very perturbed. Youseem to have forgotten to say your signature
sign off. So yeah, it'sit's you know, that's that's tough for
him to balance what people expect expectfrom it. Did you had you ever?
Did you ever go through a phaselike that? We were like,

(10:26):
oh, this is me now,you know, one of those moments not
a Sloan, but it's like I'mgoing to use something and you know verbal
or was it you know, rememberlike in Dairy Girls when she should currently
heard one showed up? Motherfuckers.Motherfucker's my thing? Now? Yeah,
yeah, I've had I've had lotsof things during the during my time,
like I was big in to callhim people a fanny for ages. I'm

(10:50):
like, you're some funny but myfriend was like it sounds wrong in your
mouth. She was like, justyou sound stupid when you say it.
So I don't know, I kindof I don't know, do you guys
a bit like this with like podcastsand stuff. I'm after getting to the
phase where I'm like, I needto not hear myself far, maybe even
just two hours. Yeah, butit's very hard to not hear yourself when

(11:13):
when your inner voice is also yourself. Do you know what It's like?
I just need a break from myselfeven. I talked to a guy the
other day and he's he needs somepersonally. He's had had a rough go
over the last while. And hewas telling me all about this, and
he was doing some some work oneand over building a house. You loved

(11:33):
it, you ah, it's rightup your road now, you'll love it.
We'll get into this now in aminute. But isn't that your selfish?
It can be when it comes tothat. I need this guy.
He was headed off to the AaronIslands for the weekend by himself to go
tinting and just get the head straight. A man wanted genuine reason to go
get his head straight. He was, you know, life has sucked him

(11:54):
up the last couple six months orso, and in my head, I'm
going, God, bit love now, do you know to actually be able
to find a thing that stops melistening to myself. But I'm gone,
yeah, forest world, fucking problems. Tom oh No, I'm listening to
myself a lot. This poor bastardactually need this time. I'm one of

(12:15):
those whankers will probably end up doinggoa to yogurt or something to just you
know, decompress. Well. Isaid it to my husband Shane the other
day. I said I had contemplatedgetting him for Father's Day and night in
a hotel on his own, thathe could go and say, to a
nice hotel, have a bit ofdinner, you know, like even room
service or whatever, you know,use the whole have a little rest,

(12:39):
get up in the morning, havebreakfast, come back to us. And
he said to me, he waslike, I'd hate that, And I
said, but why would you hatethat? He said, sure, what
would I do? I'd be solonely and bored. And I just had
to say to him, well,just f yi, if you're ever thinking
of what to get me, Iwant that just to be able to be

(13:00):
in a kind of you know,the particular silence that's in a good hotel
room as well. I'm like justa bit of time where it's totally silent.
There's nobody looking for anything, beit the kids or the ride or
anything. It's literally just me,and I'd have so much fun. I'd
open up the small soaps, I'dhave the water, I'd have the still

(13:24):
and the sparkling. You know,I'd have a lovely, lovely time.
And I'd probably end up back homeby like about eleven o'clock the next morning.
But I think I'd be so refreshedfrom just a bit of silence.
Yeah, And I think it's probablylike my kids are on their school holidays
as of today, right, Ihave three kids, and I see audio

(13:46):
listeners. You can't see Laura's eyesjust blinked fourteen thousand times in another two
seconds. There. So take fromthat what you want. No, but
like, I feel like that there'sgoing to you know. I feel like,
so I've got the three kids,We're gonna have an amazing, gorgeous
somewhere or whatever. I feel nowI need to come off my phone a

(14:07):
bit because the kids are home,yes, and I need to be very
present and kind of there for themor whatever. Now, obviously the phone
can be a bit of a salvationin the midst of all that as well,
But equally, I'm like, someof the loudness is from the phone,
some of the loudness in my brainis from seeing other comedians, other

(14:28):
podcasters, other people live in theirlives, and something about that then irritates
me, and then my day isgone because I'm allergic, and I'm like,
just so much easier to just notlook, do you know what I
mean? No, but yeah,I guess I gets a bit of a
bit of a break. I wouldnever say a full break, but even
just that, like that, Iput it down. At a point in

(14:50):
the day, I feel like Ifeel like if you went inside my head
now at the moment, there's aboutfourteen fellas rooring and they all need to
s yeah yeah, no, Imean exactly in the same boat right now.
I mean with the house and everythingelse, like oh yeah, okay,
ge is Christ And then you getI found myself and I shouldn't like

(15:11):
my one of my parents. Iwas open the other day and they were
just all they were doing was askingparently things and they are things that don't
and I was in I mean,I did not have a I didn't have
four minutes to spare that day,let alone forty five minutes of netri and
what about the other thing now,and which is there was a fellow one

(15:33):
time and I'm going and one ofmy eyes started bulging, I know,
and you can't fucking say anything reallylike, but I know I shouldn't.
My brain shouldn't be in that headspace either, like no, and I
like my parents have both just hada really rough year of illness right right,
and I feel like we've gotten theall clear. We're out the other

(15:56):
side for both of them. ButI feel a bit exhaust that and they're
equally exhausted by it and in abit of a cycle of unwellness or kind
of like almost the habit of beinga bit unwell. And I'm like,
guys, we got the two cleanbills of help now, so we must
capitalize on that. You're only inyour early seventies, and we must kind

(16:17):
of like we have to lift We'llsay, the burden that has been taken
away in the back of our headsfor about a year now is coming up
on a year since my dad gotsick. And it's like, I think
I feel something about the end ofthe school year and coming into the summer
again, I'm feeling that kind oflike a feeling kind of heightened emotion of

(16:40):
I think we might have survived.I think we might have survived a shit
year. I think everyone's going tobe okay. But then I don't know.
Do you have experience of like terriblephone calls with awful news about beloved
people in it? Yeah, thatfeeling takes a while to shift. So
I have this feeling. I waskind of dodging bullets for about a year,

(17:02):
and now every time the phone rings, I'm like, yeah, are
you okay? And it could beMam just asking like how to turn on
the chase? Do you know whatI mean? Mam knows well how to
turn on the chase, But like, you take a while to come out
of that kind of I suppose it'sfight or flight. You take a while
to settle back down. And Ifeel like I've had the first brush with

(17:23):
parents being sick, and I'm like, I have no interest in that going
forward, And I don't think i'llbe good at it, Tom, I
think I'll be a bit like you, a bit like too quick to be
grass or kind of like wait yousay, like I don't say that story
I've heard at fourteen hundred times before. Like I think I could be a
kind of an elder abuse kind ofcharacter, because I just I know what

(17:48):
happens for me. I get sucha panic about anything happening to my mom
and dad. Then if there isanything slightly with them, I'm almost kind
of trying to jolly them along andbe like, no, you're fine,
You're fine, and not acknowledge thatthey have shit going on, or that
they feel a bit older, orthat they have friends that are passing away
or whatever. And I've only it'smy first time kind of facing up to

(18:08):
it, and I feel like we'reback in a safe zone now where I
don't have to think about it foranother while. But I didn't like the
preview. I don't think the fullmovie, do you know what I mean?
It's it's still to this, LikeI don't know what what way I
will be about it, but Iget very when I get awful news,
I become robotic. Whatever kicks comesover me. I'm like, right,

(18:32):
okay, how can we solve this? Like I remember getting a phone called
of of I don't know, didyou ever meet him? Was Billy Anderson's
death? Oh yeah, yeah Ididn't meet him? No, but I
know, yeah, But I likeGordon. Rochford rang me and Gordon was,
you know, he's in a badway, but he was doing it,
you know. But I immediately went, Okay, Roger, that kind
of a thing. Yeah yeah,and right is there. Right is the

(18:56):
right, and we can do to, you know, mitigate the problems around
this. How ours fan doing?He was like, Jesus Christ, you're
pretty calm. And of course,like six hours later, I'm at home
in Ribbons, like because just thedelay for wanting to get your quine,
no ability to deal with it inthe moment other than right, let's put
on our fucking heart hat and getthis, you know, like it was

(19:17):
an emergency. It's the terror offeeling your full emotions as well, you
say, when I, like Iwas still I was pregnant with Freddie when
my dad so basically he had bloodclots and it led to bowl cancer.
Bull cancer is why he had thecloths. And when I I was still
pregnant with Freddy when we got thephone call to say that they had found

(19:40):
bill cancer, and I remember mywhole body just being like, Okay,
you need to just hold it allin now because you need to mind the
baby. The baby needs to gethere safely and okay, nobody has died
and we can navigate it. Definitely, there's a kind of a I think
I was, and I'd be abig crier like Jesus Christ. I'd cry
at the wall if it was sadenough looking. But I just I didn't

(20:02):
let myself go there fully, becauseI suppose you are dealing with the practical
stuff day to day and making surethat everything's okay now as it happens.
It was the shortest brushwood cancer anyone'sever had. Like they went in,
took out the tumor, put everythingback together, no bag nor a bit,
everything was perfect clean. Hell myman had her hyperplaced and she's actually
worse. But like so, itwas a very short short brush with it.

(20:26):
But I think we all lived itdifferently. I had to self protect
a bit because of Freddie. Butnow I wonder now that we're kind of
you know, it's coming up tothe year anniversary of the phone call,
So now I'm like, oh,I might be a basket case on that
day because of the fact that Inever unleashed it. I wondered as a

(20:47):
latent, a latent bit of badnews hiding behind your ear or something or
down the bout trousers, then comeout stored up, stored up, and
then kick you up the hole whenyou least, you know, because in
the midst of it all, Ialso had like what I would describe as
the happiest moment of my life,which was a moment after Freddy was born,
back up in the ward, whereI felt so happy that he was

(21:10):
here safely and that we had doneit. We had completed completed it,
mate, We had done you know, we had our mission. Baby.
It was all lovely, and Iremember feeling such pure happiness and then that's
a very weird feeling to rest alongsidelike, you know, huge worry about
my dad, Like we were toldthere was a fifty percent chance of him
having a stroke. My sister wascalled down from Dublin, like it was

(21:32):
that, you know, to comeand side with that level of drama if
you saw him. Now, I'mnot a bother on him, but like
I think the residue from something likethat takes a while to kind of settle
back down. So now like eventhe most normal of phone calls, now
I'm a kind of like, ohmy god, what's going to be the
outcome of this? You know,like I wonder then you know what I

(21:52):
mean, everybody goes on holidays anddoesn't for the longest time. You know,
you you go, I will goon hall this come to deserve holidays
or because it's a team, andyou don't read put a reason on doing
something like going on a holiday orgoing it's just a thing that's done.
But not to simplify, but Iwould imagine something like a breakaway if as
a direct result, Yeah, itwould it create a nice little bridge going

(22:18):
see in the background, you fuckingshit year, Yeah, like a little
full stop. Well Mom and Daddid that themselves. They went and they
went for like two nights to Cilarneyand it was, you know, amazing
to get a picture of them inCilarney, kind of having been through the
wars. But it's just it's ait's a weird old like we said in
thirty nine, it just turned thirtynine. It was just a weird old

(22:44):
brush with something that I've always kindof dreaded, Yes, but it's always
been so far away that I'm like, you're a fucking agent now for dreading
that, you're wasting your time.Whereas now I'm in a new found era
of well, it could happen,could happen tomorrow. You have to be
alert. So I'm in this weirdalert stayed now, so I have to
get myself back to just being youknow, it's fine again. I think

(23:04):
I'm afraid to say it's fine,because that's the very time that then it'd
be like, dang, somebody elsehas something. It actually wasn't your mom
and dad. It was someone thatyou know. It's so weird and post
baby as well, tom like asin, I don't think I have any
kind of post baby trauma at all, but obviously your hormones get so fucking
churned up. Like I after havingFreddy, I bald crying bitter tears of

(23:32):
sadness over Jade Goody's son was onStrictly Come Dancing and I balked. I
was inside in the bed, upsidedown, going your mother would have been
so prownny, it would have beenso browny Bobby, I like raw crying,
really couldn't get myself. I washeaving crying in the bed over him.

(23:53):
I was like, I remember theday she died. It was Mother's
Day and she would have been ohmy god, like forgetting all of the
like compolsation aspect of Jay Goodie's personality. But I just was breatht for this
poor child, the Layton Pocket ofsadness. I hope that wasn't where you
dumped the Layton pocket from wasted mytears, But that's what it does.

(24:17):
I think you place your you placeyour emotions in other places. I'm like,
yes, I will roar crying overhim, because I don't want to
roar crying over my dad's I'll beabsolutely I will relive Jake Goody's death.
That's what I'll do, and that'llget me through. See. On top
of it all, then you're likean artistic soul. So your head is
just fucked. Just think Princess Diana. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah,

(24:41):
Princess Diana. She's another one byshe is. Oh my god,
lady di what my girl? Ilistened to Harry's book actually, and I
just got so cross because I willnever ever ever get any of that time
back. Fucking hell, it waslong winded, was it? I guess
it was going to be fucking drivelto be honest, hours and hours and

(25:02):
hours of a fellow winge in andbasically all that's wrong with you Harry,
is he lost your mam? Youjust lost your man? Like, that's
what's wrong with you? Book over, You're sad because your mam died.
We don't need to hear it inwhatever nine hours, nine hours of fucking
misery in an English accent and going, oh, this is not for me.

(25:22):
Did he do the voice over?He and I tried to speed it
up, and it just you hadto listen to it kind of the right
at the speed of was recorded at. But he was just and by the
end of it, I was like, you're a fucking winge bag and just
just get over you, like genuinely, you're he just never grew up.

(25:44):
The death of this man just destroyedhim. Yeah, he locked it.
He locked in there like and theyyeah, they say that about you know,
when you see somebody's a madiocre ofpain the body, chances are they're
still a child because something traumatic happenedhim at a certain age. Like I'm
so heightened if you're oil as welllike as a you know, everything's handed.
She kind of plays like I thinkthe big thing. I think it

(26:04):
seemed like Megan was just kind ofit blew her mind that this fella like
thought he was going to you know, get served on gilded plates and stuff
and you know it's like just godown to the shop. Yeah yeah,
yeah. It was no so muchwinging from a young fella, but I
yes Appreciatelyna. She is a goodgo to for crime. The last documentary,

(26:26):
the last time we got to hangout was was it that Heineken gig?
Oh yeah, that was a strangething to be doing. It was
a weird gig. It was theold Murphy's Brewery Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah in Cork. It's in Irelandnow and it was some sort of competition
winners. Like I felt like theaudience did not really want to have won

(26:48):
the competition. I said that,I mean, to Jesus Christ, you've
been assaulted by us and somebody's thrownhorrendous food at them. It was like
what you mentioned the food and hewent and they kept on coming to us,
going, would you like a plantplan? It was raw fish with
the or something. It was likeI can still smell it when I think

(27:11):
of it. I think they werecalling it maybe like fish paty or something.
I mean the room stank. Theroom stank, and they were dead
crisps with it as well. Tomake a guess and trendy because they were
celebrating some old beer shite. Itwas a shy beer anyway that they're bringing
out. It was so weird,and the audience just looked like they'd never
ever cracked a joke before or heardanyone the right crack a joke. Like

(27:36):
I ran out of that gig.I was like, bye, guys,
see, I'm gone. I waskilling. Sunderman was on as well,
and I would love to have seenhim, but I was a killing.
I have to go. I justcan't bear if there's an atmosphere in a
room that makes me want to like, I just have to get out.
I'm just like, this is Igot to see you, but like you

(27:57):
did well for what Jesus, forwhat it was, and I can't I
can't even do any material. SoI just started talking to him, yeah,
and just taking the piss out ofthe food and stuff in my head.
When I imagine it as well,we were on a kind of like
a raised part of the floor,but there was people in a kind of
an l shape. Yeah, it'sdefinitely like a bar and a pillar in

(28:18):
our way. Like I was definitelyonly make an eye contact with about six
people, but the rest were itwas it was chaos. It was chaos.
But sometimes gigs are just like that, aren't they. Sometimes you're like,
well, this room is demented,like it's I mean, it's there's
an old phrase like, you know, comedy has no business in anywhere that
isn't a comedy club or you know, a venue of some sort like and

(28:41):
that's that's them corporate things when you'rejust got Jesus ch who wrote this down
on paper and this made a goodidea, like this is and you can
just imagine the corporate it's gonna unbelievewe're gonna get you know that the internet
comedian killing and then you know,yeah, the two o many so they
related. Nobody knows and you know, you just a man. Cornelius was
there as like I actually know Cordelias, I have a contact. You could

(29:03):
just imagine the fucking shy top thatwent on. And then I find sometimes
at corporate gigs as well, you'reyou're actually treated like shit, oh yeah,
they've they've schmoozed you to get there, and then when they see they're
like, yeah, what are youdoing? You're doing ten minute or what
like you're suddenly like, oh,I thought you wanted me to be here.
You seem to hit me. Iit's funny you say that out loud,

(29:26):
do you know? And I don'tknow if I said that actually out
loud to people, And you're onehundred percent right. They schmoozed the ship
out now one or two. I'velate a couple of them that I've done.
They've been very nice to me,but still in the behavior I kind
of gone here, that's why aren'twe starting this ship on time? Like
it's still being treated like shit?You're you know? And I got I
did one for these They they teedme up through this agency that they were

(29:52):
they were or they bank, veryconservative Canadian bank. Turns out the motherfucker
oh no, a security company ofsome sort like whatever, software security.
And it turns out they weren't atall. They were investment bankers, most
grotesque bunch of fucking wankers I've evermet my entire life. And they I

(30:15):
think they wanted to do some raffleor something and then have me on again.
After I was like, no,no, it was I won't be
two minutes as human, I won'tbe two minutes. And maybe you could
just close off the night and thankeverybody. I said, okay, I'll
do that, and the guy wasthey pushed me kind of. I kind
of got directed down this back corridorbehind where the stage there he was,

(30:36):
fuck me. I was still goingthirty seven minutes later. The raffle,
the raffle. You lose me atthe word raffle. If there's a raffle,
I'm not coming to the event unlessI win the raffle. And they
were, they were. You wantto hear the things they were raffling,
like oh like grotesque amounts of money, like grow out of their own pocket.
But they were raffling things like youknow, assigned Brianer, drisk your

(30:59):
jersey or hey around the golf onyou know, the island, you know,
and all these things. You're going, what the fuck? Who puts
these forward? Like there's no we'renot. I'm telling you that there was
no book of rattle tickets bought,if you know what I mean, Like
was more your name? Oh yeahyeah, but as well go Tom.
Like anybody that's at these gigs,they they hate the comedian. You don't

(31:22):
want they want the drinking and thecrack. Like I've what happens to me
A lot is I get asked todo hen nights right, And God,
I'm so easily schmoozed. Like ifyou send me a message going, Laura,
we love you the hen the brideabsolutely just loves you, loves your
videos, has been following you foryears. Like if you say that to

(31:44):
me, I'm not even talking feednow. I'm just like, this girl
loves me. I'm gonna make herday. I'm gonna be like Taylor Swift
rocking up to meet and greet.This is gonna be unbelievable. And more
often than not, they're alergic.Like I've done ones in the middle of
the day, about three o'clock.They've just done their activity and then I
walk in and mostly they're like,what's she doing here? And they kind

(32:05):
of think, like, am Igonna stay and be on the hen night
with them? There's a bit ofthat, and then they're like, oh
no, she's going to do fifteenminutes of stand up And it has been
I went to one recently and thegirl said to me, Oh God,
I thought you'd be way taller.She just seemed so disappointed that I was
a tiny little guy, and like, sure, where'd you go? From

(32:28):
there, you're inside in a sticky, closed pub. They've just done some
awful activity and you're like, heyguys. And then it's like I try
and do kind of wedding e materialor you know, I find out a
few facts about her and I likedrop her future husband's name or whatever,
and like it gets a ry smile. But the fucking hell more often than
that, I come out. Isaid to my husband, I said,

(32:50):
if you hear me saying I'm doinga hen night again, you are to
tell me I'm not, because I'mjust such a sucker for people being like,
we love you like I nearly don't. Yeah, I get, yeah,
I don't get that too often thatI love you, don't. I
don't get the head nights, althoughI have, I actually have been asked
to do hen nights and I'm like, have you? Are we on the
same planet? Like are we?You come on? You don't want you

(33:15):
don't don't want. Nana doesn't needto see this like this carry on?
This this is a king No,no, this is I did do.
It was my first ever geek backafter COVID, and I was in I'd
say, we're technically still in COVID. I'd say, but I got ranged
by this guy. He books theeye gig and I was for a stag

(33:35):
in Wicklow, a small little villagein Wicklow, and I went, this
sounds absolutely horrendous, but I'm definitelytaking it because gigs are back. But
also they've seen your videos and youthink your class. I'm like, i'd
say, I am class. Yeah, Jesus, thanks lads, total total
fucking melt for that ship as well, like or as you'd say, week

(33:59):
for week for they were talking tome, your class. That's it.
We didn't I don't need much morethan driving up there before. We talked
about money. I was actually onthe fucking road up there before, and
I'm like Jesus Christ, and itwas it was, I mean it was.
It was great for the moment,but I tell you what, it
was actually a bag of ship.If you stood back and looked at it,
you know, you know often youdo have to stand back, Like

(34:22):
in the moment, I'd be like, that was great, Yeah, that
was really worthwhile, and then it'sdays are you're like, no bag of
ship. Bag shit. I dida wedding, a gay wedding, which
I was delighted with. I waslike, oh, look, this is
so chic. Look Jesus, like, I'm a gay icon. I'm delighted
with myself. And they were like, we love you. But they weren't
fed. The gas weren't fair,the gaze were not fed, and there

(34:45):
had definitely been some delay because whenI arrived, like I had kind of
cut it so that I don't bejust there at the time. I was
standing around kind of in a courtyardfor a while with the guests, and
then they were all brought into thisroom and I was like, these people
haven't been fed. And there waslike breadsticks just on the table because you've
never seen the breadsticks go so fastbecause they were starving. So then they're

(35:07):
they're sitting down now and they're like, oh, yes, we're going to
have our dinner. And it's like, hi, guys, how are you.
We're going to do the speeches,and at the end of the speech
is we have a comedian and Ihad to do like fifteen minutes, and
I was like, these people areravenous. They are ravenous, And my
resolve throughout started to fade, likeyou're you arrived thinking these people love me.

(35:28):
By the end of it time,like those people that asked me to
do this wedding they hate me,like as in they didn't you know,
because they were exhausted. It wastheir end of the wedding day. They
were kind of like, you know, we've made a terrible mistake. We
booked her two years ago. Runwe're annulling this immediately. This is his

(35:50):
old wedding. It's just, Yeah, I've gotten clever about just not being
flattered into doing the wedding. Thewedding's one is the only one that I've
been. I'm hardline on myself morethan anything, because again I was a
local one who was at a passvenue. Would have fitted in just before
the gig in the hill because itwas a very early wedding. And they're

(36:12):
lovely and they come all the time. They're like, there's raw they love
you, and I'm going, oh, do you know what, wouldn't it
be? I never take these thingsbecause I'll die on my whole at these
things. This is you know what, But they'll be they're my people,
Yeah, my people, And I'ma gift to that. Yeah, I'm
exactly, I'm a gift to them. Who's going to take a lot of
money off them? So yeah,this is but I was like Natasha would

(36:37):
rarely pull me up on on gigsas she goes, yeah, listen if
you think it's worth the time.But you you know, you go into
a burning building to tell jokes,so whatever, you know what I mean,
I just don't come and winged meafterwards about it. You know what
I mean? This is yeah,Senator, thinking that she would think it
was lovely because it's wedding related andshe loves all that lovely stuff and all
God had been as Oh serendipitous thatit's you, and they they got engaged,

(37:00):
the knights, they saw you.Oh this has been. And I
went in that told her the wholething. She went, oh no,
oh no, Tom, no,no, no, no no. You
don't do weddings. Now you've neverdone weddings. And I can promise you
you don't want to start, becauseyou'll come home furious out of it like
and because it won't it won't havegone the way Tom, they all run

(37:22):
up you. You lose your mindwhen you when thinks anything runs five minutes
over. Yes, this ship willstart forty five an hour and forty five
minutes too late. You'll be sweatingbullets. You may dine in your whole
time. You can't do the samecrowd work you're doing the club because Nana
ain't gonna take that shit. Nonobody came to see you. These are

(37:43):
all very valid points. That's butthe couple love me. She goes,
oh, that's that's irrelevant. Iftwo people are are two hundred and fifty
like it, that's not enough time. I went, yeah, you make
some valid points. She's dead right, what's the attacha, What does the
attach to do? She is goingshe's going back to work. But she
was a journalist. She wrote fora couple of magazines and stuff like that.
I think, like Shane is electronicengineer, and I think that they

(38:08):
can get to the they can getrid of all the emotion. But you
know, our partners can kind ofcut through our ego. I suppose it
is yeah, yeah, yeah,nice and quick that those are normal people.
Normal people. Yeah, are likethat, not absolute like plumb as

(38:29):
we are so easily plumbost The reasonwe do comedy or podcast or anything in
the first place is because we wantpeople to tell us we're lovely. Yeah,
if you tell me I'm lovely,I'm like, when are we moving
in together, you know, let'sbe best friends. Like it is.
I already have a tattoo with yourface on it, so yeah, exactly,

(38:50):
tattoo machine. This is such anongoing theme for me because I'm very
guilty of like letting people in tomy world, because I'm like, I'm
going to share my life with them. They're gonna they're gonna be here.
We're going to have you know,barbecue nights and chitty chatty. And then
suddenly I'm like, I have letlunatics into my life and and now I'm

(39:15):
stuck. Like my dad said itto my husband the night before our wedding.
Dad pulled Shane aside outside and hesaid, Laura colects waifs and strays,
and I am now and I amnow passing over the baton to you
to protect her because she's been collectingthem since she was smart. So you

(39:37):
are now to watch that. Andit's so true. I oh my god,
I could if one person was like, oh, I think you're really
really funny, I be like,will we go to the cinema? What
are you doing tomorrow? And suddenlyof all these the same with the hen
Knights and the way we love youbrilliant. I'll be there. You don't

(39:58):
need to pay me a glass offor echo will do like mental shit,
But I think I've gotten better,gotten better at not being foremost, but
I still would store up those complimentsin my head. I'm like, yes,
you do love me. I wouldlove to see it as an experiment.
But not only even as experiment,but I would love to see you
literally get to Taylor Swift level offame and adoration and just see how you

(40:21):
fucking deal with that, Like howyou deal with it. I think I
think it stems from a little bitof inadequacy. Like I think if you
got to that level, then thereal me, which is kind of cutthroat
with a Ferocia's edge, would emerge. Because I'm like, well I've made
it now. If I could seeyou by getting yourself a bus license,
just go around collecting people to cometo your own definitely, i'd love now

(40:44):
if I was Taylor Swift, I'dlove like turning up in the Golden Discs
and double it, like I'd lovethat shit. You know, sometimes like
edge sheer into that kind of stuff, or or like appearing at somebody's graduation
or something like. It's often anytime. Anyway, This is happened to you
a few times. If somebody comesup chatting to me because they know my
work, we'll say yes. Ithas often happened that I'm the one that's

(41:07):
staying like they're finished with me.They've said Hi, Laura, love you
on the radio, but I'm stillthere and again, but anyway, I'll
see you, and I'm like,yeah, yeah, yeah, damnus when
we don't when we do, now, is it tell me more, tell
me more about myself? Very weird, very strange kind of element to my

(41:29):
personality. It is, yeah,it is. But at the same time,
like you see like Bill Murray andstuff, who is you know,
in legendary status like and he'll justshow up at it stag night, no
you know, or I don't knowwhat I got canceled for, and I
hope it wasn't for lack of tickets. So but Ludacrous I saw it on
TikTok or something, and Ludacris justshowed up in this kind of huge giant
bar and it just said Ludacris iscancer was concert or concert was canceled.

(41:54):
So he just gave him a freegave people a free gig and there's only
about sixty people in this huge bar. Yeah, and he's got like a
boombox around his and he's got amicrophone and it comes in free gig,
Free show, everybody, Free show, and it is fucking ludicrous. He's
got a load of people with himon microphones and it seems like some crack.

(42:15):
Yeah. And I think if youwere super super famous, you have
to have an outdut for crack,yeah, because like your life is is
not. I was even watching thatterribly is that documentary about sleaned On and
she was saying she's traveled the world. She saw nowhere, because of course
she didn't. She saw concerts andshe saw that big venues and stuff,
but did she actually see like Idon't know, Lac de Triomph, which

(42:37):
she proper did, but like didshe speaks a bit of French as well,
But like as in you just Ithink as a really really famous person,
you'd have to do that kind ofcrack to just kind of keep you
alive and to stop being a robot. You'd have to randomly rock into like
you would, wouldn't you from localpub? There was a local pub local

(42:57):
to my mom and dad's called theboothouse. Like, if I ever got
sky high famous, I think androck in there. What's it called the
boothouse? Where's that? That's BarrenCork. It's Upper Lamire, Yes,
upper gladmyre high notions that. Ohyeah, yeah, Upper Glamar, not
the Lower Landmark at all. Andyeah, the boothouse bar I'd rock up
in there, like, hey,guys, have never ever been in here

(43:17):
before, But now that I'm famous, say you're welcome. You're welcome.
That is what it is, iswhat it is. The ego. It's
like I'm a bloody gift my friends, and today I have chosen to give
it to you from terrible. It'sterrible. It's it's all ego, all
madness and ego. I need advicebecause we're we're at so we we both

(43:43):
are into a lot. I thinkwe probably watched some of the same TV
shows or at the moment I don'tget seen any but you absolutely enamored me
the time you did Kevin McLeod sketchof you know, of of Grand designs.
I remember just go, oh mygod, this is I mean,
the productions were poor, but itwas that's what made it beautiful. That's

(44:04):
what made it beautiful. But wellit was because my house was being renovated.
I remember looking. I remember lookingover at Chain and going the house
is being renovated. Oh mg,sketch potential here, Like whenever will we
be in the house where there's likethe floor dug up and stuff. I'm
like, the crack here now isavailable. So once you're doing the house.
So it's doing the house. Buthere's the stages I'm talking about,

(44:27):
right, so when we want whenwe were getting married, there was the
fucking wedding programs used to be on. Yes, yes you dress. Yeah,
they used to send me around thefucking bend, but I used to
I stayed in in the in thepocket. It stayed in the game for
a few of them. Like thenthey immediately fell off a cliff and then

(44:47):
there was some baby having programs andthings like that. Yeah, but the
house. But we're building a fuckinghouse and the house programs are still on
the go, Like like did youstop what Kevin fucking deer mcbannon, all
these bollocks this as soon as thehouse was finished, because you made a
lovely job at house, were youlike, I don't need to say the

(45:07):
morning. I think we stopped watchingthem when we were getting the house done.
Mostly it's a bit like one bornevery minute. It was all which
is the pregnancy one where they likeshow live sections and stuff. That was
all very very cute. When Iwas like in my early twenties, I
was like, oh my god,I got that baby. And then it
was when I was going to befaced with giving birth, I was like,

(45:30):
we're not watching that anymore. Anda bit the same with getting the
house done. Now we went.You see, we went full notions with
our house because we had been livingwe did. We went full notions that
very open about that we had beenliving. I feel like we earned it.
We had been living down in BeryCotton in Cork for five years.

(45:51):
Our washing machine was in the shed, as was our dryer. Right.
The utility room was outside basically inthe same room as the boiler. So
you'd come in and they're with yournew freshlothes and they'd smell of clerosene.
Right, not great, and therewas a kind of a it was a
it was a huge house. Itwas like we thought it was a great
house when we bought it, butwe didn't realize that we were not country

(46:15):
living folk. It just like whenwe thought that I lived in the country
when I lived in Upper Glen Mayre, which was like fifteen minutes away from
from the city. And I thinkwhen we were in Ballycotton, people you
start referring to going to town,and I used, like, town to
me is Cork City. I suddenlyrealized that town was Middleton and that Cork
was the city. We're going upto Cork and I was like, no,

(46:37):
fuck this, this is this isnot right. So I'm like that
I just cannot be somebody that refersto going to Cork having lived quite close
to the city all the time alongtown. So when we moved, so
we never put our own stamp onthe house in Ballycotton. She was only
talking about this the other day.We kind of copied our pay my parents.

(46:58):
We had like a very similar couchto them, a very similar fine
bed to them. You know,we didn't have any of our own kind
of we had our own ideas,but we just didn't kind of we didn't
put them on the house in Ballycotton. So then we moved. I mean
it took nearly the best part ofa year to move to Tivlate, which
is very near the city. Andby the time I was leaving Ballycotton,

(47:21):
I was like, I need toget out. I need to leave now,
like you bellcotton Mouth. For thesake, I was fully back.
I had Balicotton itels and I ourown house hadn't fully sold, and I
passed the keys into the estate agentand I was like, you've finished dealing
with that now because I am gone, my friend. And so it did
like we knew it was selek greedor whatever, but it was just taking

(47:43):
ages. And so we got inhere on the nineteenth December twenty nineteen.
Our house in Ballycotton finalized on theday that Leo Radger was making his speech
about lockdown. Thanks for to Crostthat it was finalized on that day.
So we got out just before lockdownbecause if I had stayed down in Ballycotten
during lockdown, there would have beena podcast made about me called East Cork

(48:06):
where I would have murdered somebody thatfellow who's your man that made all the
West Cork docriment, Oh Jim Sheridanbe knocking on my door. But so
then when we moved here, wewere adamant that we wanted it to be
done in our taste and our style. This POSI, this was our house,

(48:28):
This was forever. So we hadbeen watching that that notion z E
program called Oh my God, what'sthe Home of the Year. Oh Jesus,
Yeah yeah, you're man with squareglasses? Yeah yeah yeah. Home
of the Year was just coming on. I saw an ad fort and I
saw a guy that I knew becausehe used himself and his brother have this

(48:50):
fabous cafe in Cork called the Workshop. And I knew David from the Workshop,
and I saw that his house wasgoing to be on Home of the
Year, and I was kind ofjust rooting around and suddenly he's an interior
designer and his brother is a builder, and I was like, these are
the men for the job because I'vealways loved their cafe, I've always loved
their whole outlook on life. AndI was like, okay. So David

(49:12):
came to the house for a meeting. He kind of vaguely knew me,
I vaguely knew him. We wereboth very kind of like, hello,
yes, we're looking to get adesign, you know, We're very mannerly,
and eventually we realized that we werecrack. So just the greatest working
relationship of all time. Like itwas so notions to get an interior designer,
but my Christ, it was mainlybecause I don't like talking to the

(49:34):
man. I don't like talking tothe plumber tyler. The man scares me
and I instantly become a gum,Like I know things. I am a
clever person, but in front ofan electrician, like I suddenly don't know
what a plug is. I'm like, you have a thing you put into
the wall and there's a kind ofa wire coming out of it, and
I think something happens with maybe likea spark, Like I just become tick.

(49:55):
So having David, he became likeour kind of project manager as well.
So he was a man that Iloved talking to, and then he
manned all the other men, whichwas funny, like how he's your fucking
Rosetta stone, Like you're just havingto talk through the back of his head.
He was coming out You're just witha girly notions to the back of
his head and he was just constructiontalk. He was just amazing because like

(50:20):
there was one there was one daywhere we had these really tiny this is
the kind of shit now the minueshade that you're going to get into with
your own house. Tiny tiles,they were like, you know, mosaic
size, and David had a planfor like it was something like you know,
white white white black, white,white white black or whatever. So
anyway, we looked at the tylerhad put them down a bit wrong,
and so we just happened to mentionit to David Jesus Christ. He was

(50:43):
outside the door within ten minutes.He was like, I knew it.
I knew they'd go down wrong.And he was able to go up and
do all the man talk then becauseI didn't have to do any of their
like I think the times down roll. So it was like it was the
best notions we ever had. Itreally took it really took the stress out
of it. Now, we didlive in the house while it was being
renovated, which was an export.With two kids at the time, we

(51:07):
basically just lived out of the sittingroom and we just yeah, you just
kind of do it. But theybut the end like there's still stuff to
be done, but the end resultof like having I mean, it's such
a privilege to be in a placethat we're so happy in and like,

(51:28):
but you get obsessed. It's likethe wedding of course. Yeah, I
remember with the wedding cake. Iremember having my bridesmaids taste and chocolate biscuit
cake, chocolate fudge cake. I'dsay they were fit to throat down my
throat. And it's the same withthe house. You're like putting tiles,
leaning them up against walls, andyou know, paint colors and oh j
we go for blinds. Do wego for like all sorts of all very

(51:51):
posh, very notions ship, Yeah, but look at the other side of
it is my husband works as wholeoff for us to be able to have
those notions. But like it justit's it consumes you are. Are you
consumed by it? Do you thinkI'm not getting consumed by No? I
know my road because I was.I would you believe it? I used
to speak to the man. Yeah, so I'm okay with the man.

(52:15):
Yeah yeah, and I know whatthe man is like when electrician comes in.
I've made life easy on them becausethis is how we're keeping the money
down too, is because I knowenough of the stuff that you don't want
them lads been charging your full electricianprices to have. So I'm getting that
stuff out of the out of theway. Do you become more man man

(52:39):
when man comes in, Yeah,because I become I become less. Yeah,
as then there's a grand strong manin me as well. But I
become stupid girl when the man isthere against it's not weird and people and
I've kind of poked people in theback before it's okay and they're like no,
but they're speaking and they turned intolike some character of legal gentlemen going.

(53:00):
But they're speaking the twelfty twelfties andI don't know, you won I
know, And I'm like, I'mwell able here, but I either become
stupid girl or or I go toI'm too gross And they're like, is
she fucking rage? And got acouple of light bulbs, This one's up
to you know. I'm like,and the light bulbs need to be put
in as well now Jim, andJim is like, fuck offtick them in

(53:21):
yourself. But I'm leaving all interiorstuff too, well, not all interior
stuff. Natasha hasn't has a brilliantimagination, So there's some things that are
going to be like we're putting aslide from upstairs to downstairs. You are
not you are not stop it,are you? Yeah? Is there also
stairs? Yeah? Okay, sothere's two options. Well, yeah,

(53:44):
you go up one and then youcome down into the playroom and the other
thing suck. Yeah, why not. It's very it's very sick. And
we it's a country. It's likewe're in the country, so there's plenty
of space. And it's a bigan l file house, so there's plenty
of space to do these silly thingslike and not like why do you have
to be Oh, you don't haveto conform to anything, Like why do

(54:05):
you have to be married to?Like now we'll put the magnolia on the
walls and all that ship like becausewe had two amazing painters. They are
mother and daughter and I think Iknow them, Lorraine and Mary LM.
Deck or there called. They wereamazed, I think, I think because
you know Mount Oval. Yeah,I was the engineer over Mount Oval.

(54:27):
Yeah, And I swear there wasa mother and daughter painters team kind from
Douglas too willing ye direction. Theywere unreal and like I was able to
talk to them because they weren't theman and like my little girl wanted a
pink bedroom with yellow spots. Now, I'm not talking to Tom. If
you said that not to cast aspersons, but if you said that to

(54:47):
Johnny, normal painter, he'd belike, no, we're not going to
do that at all now because likethe yellow bubbles, like she'll grow out
of that robe hart I said tothe two girls, and they were like,
yeah, of course, of course, yeah, I like that regardless.
And there's times when the men,when lads, like I had a
guy up the other day just theprice and fuck me. He went off

(55:09):
in nine different directions bar exactly,and he's swinging arms all over the place.
And I didn't say, dude,get the fuck off the property,
but it was like yeah, andI just just all we could do is
just kind of look at each otherand going we are sown. I would
end up sucking you in that riverbecause of the river outside, because I
have to kill you. You dohave to have a connection with Like we

(55:35):
asked a fellow to come and lookat our garden, and when he rang,
I was brave. I rang theman and then he couldn't find the
house. I gave him the fuckingair coad. No, no, no,
no, and he sucked me outof it down the phone. He
was so panicked. He was like, I can't find it and where is
it. So by the time hearrived, I was already well I'm not
you're not doing the because you've justnow he apologized. He was like,

(55:55):
sorry about that. Now I gota bit hitded up. I was like,
no problem, it's no problem beinga head up, but we're not
doing the job, like as ingoodbye and God bless because if you're this
heated with me before I've even thensaid yes, do you do in the
job now. He also went onto quote something fucking hurry and just I
thin, nobody wants to do yourgarden. My god. The gardeners are
all like very busy at the moment. Sorry, like and is there like,

(56:17):
are we have a bit of awkwardaccess? The minute you mentioned awkward
access, they're like, oh no, you could. Sure you need to
get equipment up there. There's noway, I said to the last one.
I was like, somebody has tobe able to fix this garden because
somebody originally did it. So thisaccess has been the same for hundreds of
years, so like, you know, it doesn't require a JCB, you

(56:38):
might just have to. It'll bea bit awkward, but it can be
done. But then I just I'vewashed my hands of that. I'm like,
I can't. I can't with thegardener man that's doing. You can't.
You can't have that kind of jujugoing into your your your life,
your your fiver home. I'm genuinelywith that. I like your man walk
came in the dry and even Iknow it's like I forgot, You're the

(57:00):
takest human on two fucking legs.And he started telling me, like swinging
his arms around the place, tellingme what he'll do and what he should
don't be. You wouldn't want tobe doing that, And I'm going,
oh no, it's one hundred percenthappening that way. Yeah, yeah,
yeah know what way I do itnow? And I'm going, do people
actually fucking get bamboosted by this?But more so and his ludicrous pride,

(57:21):
But more so I just felt Ican't have somebody. All the lads have
had so far are tip top,lovely people you can just relax around and
very customer friendly and professional. Ican't have you some of your stupidity.
I sweep into the soil I tried. I turned that over one day and
end up picking up stupidity. Ihave that feeling about things that are important

(57:45):
to me. I remember years agoI had a bangle rav Toyota rab for
red jeep in order to jo Gratio. But it was like it was well
old now and it was well mistreatedand all this, and it gave out
on the side of the road,right, it just on the way actually
up to I was doing bridge naming, and it was to read through,

(58:07):
and it was actually on the wayto read through. The fucking thing claps
in the side of the road.So this lovely man came collected the car.
That was all fine, but themechanic when we brought it to him
not my usual mechanic. Another fellowthat worked for him said something about it
being a piece of shit, andI said to him, I said,
I'm going to stop you there,because I said, I brought my baby

(58:29):
home in that car and that carmight now be a piece of shit,
and clapped out, but I don'tneed you kind of I did like a
really fucking pissy with him because Iwas like, it's an important thing to
me. And equally, then whenthe lads were doing our house. I
just thought this was such a beautifulthing. I've never said it to them.
I don't know do they even know. But so they there was kind

(58:50):
of shelves in our kitchen, right, so they had to knock the shelves.
In the knocking of the shelves,they found a crucifix, a small,
tiny little crucifix. Right, itwasn't there and obviously to the previous
owner. And it must have justbeen on top of the shelves and nobody
knew about it, or maybe theyonly left it. I don't know,
but like another just another builder nowwould come along, fuck the whole out

(59:10):
a lot out into escape, notmention it, nothing like just out of
no malice, that is what theydid. But these fellas they just placed
it on the window sill and theyjust fucked the shelves out, but they
kept that little crucifix. What areyou believe in God? This guy over?
But there was something about the respectof that that I just was like,

(59:32):
this is a good jujo in thehouse. This is the feeling of
like, you know, lads thatare good at their job are respectful of
everything. And it just like Idid get that vibe from them that like
we obviously they were with us forso many weeks, you get to the
point where you're having Feroshus cracked withthem because they stopped being the man then
and they slept being like the Buildersin particular. But I just thought that

(59:53):
one small act of decency. Itdid not religious about it, but was
just respectful. And I was like, these are good people, and they
are good people making the bones ofmy house good. And this is a
house that I had such feelings oflove for because it has saved me from
ballygotten. I no offense malgotten.Still absolutely will do see church, no

(01:00:15):
problem. But like as in itjust you know, you want you want
that good karma around you. Youwant to feel like your house is giving
you a snuggle. So like absolutelyhave a slide in your house. I
can't wait to see you slide.Yeah, you're you're going to enjoy this.
This is well, it's I'm justlike what I was saying, I'm
letting Attasha off. The woman alovely woman. She don't ask for nothing,

(01:00:38):
but she doesn't she's not it's veryvery very easy to live with person.
Yeah, she was like, canI do the Can I do?
Because she's very good at art andstuff like I want to do the doors
and stuff in it, Like shewants hidden doorways and things like that,
and I went, yeah, she'slike really really like I mean, yeah,

(01:01:00):
this is yeah, Jesus Christ,woman, this is yeah. Of
course whatever it be your your art, Yeah, let it be your muse.
I love a secret door. You'restealing, like, yeah, unveiling
my utility room because of the factthat he used to be in a shed.
So now it's behind a secret door. So you think, oh,
that's just a cobt, but boom, it's actually where the washing machine.

(01:01:24):
They did a lovely job, andthey did. Yeah, they did a
lovely job in your place now theydid. It's the black House. That's
that's who David is. He Theydidn't he didn't win Home of the Year,
but he came very so he's thefellow. He has a piano,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, as a chopping
board. Now it does also functionas an actual piano, but he like
he has a little glass panel onthe top, but he can use it

(01:01:45):
as a kind of a worktop space. But I do I like that.
I like that weird kind of thinkingoutside. Sure, why do you have
to do what everybody else is,especially like so long we've rented for and
you just have to be compliant tothe four world you're in because they don't
you. Yeah, but now it'slike and it's it's actually getting quite.
It's hard. It was very hardto think beyond the Magnolia for a while

(01:02:07):
because you're kind of going, yeah, Jesus Christ, that's it's what.
It's what my parents did, andthat Magnolia had such a choke hold over
all of our all our parents.We should we might have there should be
a book written like the just theMagnolia Years, like this everything incorporating all
the things that had an absolute chokehold over us as well. Definitely Magnolia

(01:02:28):
was one. I think we mighthave upgraded to something called something like Sunny
Day or something. There was noridiculous old book about pain names ridiculous,
like we have some ridiculous pain toour house. Now we have eggshell,
which is kind of blue crack.Yeah, no, and like I think
it's what you know what another likefeature walls had a choke hold yeah for

(01:02:49):
a while there as well, fancyfuture one and putting plates up in the
wall. My god, we hada wall full of plates, plates from
like Majorca, you name, youname a Canary island. We the play
from the outful of snapped one dayhe went, I just get rid of
that the fuck and where he wasworking, all the foreign lads were mad
about him, so he used tobring him back when they had when they

(01:03:12):
had passed their point of of ofgiving a ship about you know, plates
back from Minorca and stop. Andthey cleared the house of that. In
the mid nineties somewhere, all theforeign lads started joining the workforce in the
like ninety seven ninety eight, andthey go, mister, really, I'm
going, you know, and therethe lads of bringing stuff back from their
home place in Turkey and it's someyou know, probably toxic plastic fucking volcano

(01:03:36):
that has Turkey written on the sideof it. And he's to be fucking
delighted about this thing. And hewas thrown over the ditch and away home.
Jesus one if the fucker calls out. But yeah, that's the thing.
And I think I think you rightlyappreciate how silly we're going with some
things, like there's no there's nomentioning it like to some people where you

(01:03:59):
go yeah, well, you knowthere's going to be a huge chance there,
you know, a mosaic or ahuge painting of possibly a rhinoceros,
you know, sitting on something likefor the crack to make you smile of
it and you walk out. Ithink as well, like people are so
past remarkable about housing stuff, likeyou actually have to go into your little

(01:04:21):
cocoon and say I am unavailable forcomment, Like great, I want available
for this feedback, Like because ourkitchen is black, Like and if if
you said that we have a blackkitchen, people be like, oh,
oh, it's going to be anightmare to clean. It's going to really
show up the dust and blast itlooks great. And look if there's dust

(01:04:45):
as this fucking dust everywhere, andlike you know, our floorboards are white
and it's like, oh god,that will really chip and blah blah blah.
It's just like, just go away. Everyone has an opinion. It's
the same as all the shy talkwhen you're pregnant and the hig and all
that. It's the same. It'sthe same because because everyone, I think
wants to maybe justify their own existenceby making you the same. So if

(01:05:10):
you opt to like even when wewere moving Balicotton. I think there was
people would have been happier for usto stay down there, because stay down
there in pure misery, because itdidn't suit them that we got to get
to this amazing, lovely, likenear to town location. I think it's
kind of blown their minds that wewere able to do that. But for
the reason we were able to fuckingdo it was because Balicotton, you know,

(01:05:30):
like it was the steppingstone we needed. And I moved down to Ballycotton
with an open heart that I wasgoing to live there. I thought I
was going to just as well,jam Yeah, as well as it's just
as well that you had a youknow, a road to Damascus. Coming
to Jesus moment, you're like,no, this is not for me,
this is not for me at all. And I think a wise time to
have it, because I do knowa lot of like elderly moved to Ballyicotton,

(01:05:54):
and it's like you have just movedaway from the good hospitals, my
friend to being on road to Corka lot, and like bad Coat is
beautiful, Don't get me wrong,it is absolutely beautiful. I am a
girl that lived there during the winterthe harsh out winter and seen it was
for Sea Church and it was gorgeous, but was like, oh, this

(01:06:15):
would turn you fucking upside down ona bad day in the winter. And
also, you see, if you'rea ferociously friendly person that's going to make
effort to get to know your neighborsand send your children to the local school,
then it'll be fine for you.But if you're somebody that's like,
oh, she won't be going tothe local school, and I don't understand
why you're here talking to me,then you're very suspicious. Like we made
no effort. So like if II I think I probably knew somewhere in

(01:06:38):
my soul that this was not goingI just didn't bring it to the forefront
because because I had driven that roadhundreds of times going before we bought the
house, going yeah, it's faraway, but it's fine. It was
kind of an act of rebellion.I was like, I'm going to live
in this seaside village. I needto be near the sea. And I
don't know who I was rebelling againstmyself, and so like I couldn't bring

(01:07:01):
the thought to the forefront that maybeI'd made a mistake. So I had
to wait the all five years andthen it came it came into focus that
live a bit far away, butlook, it all worked out. It
all worked out well. And likethat feeling of having that good house around
you, the house that you love, like that is such a privilege time

(01:07:24):
like and even to be building likeit's so when you think about the way
the world is, it is sucha privilege. And like, you know,
to be the privilege of having notions, I'm very aware of, Like
as it's good that that's then notionsare fine. In fact, notions are
hilarious. When you are fully awarethat you're having notions, there's nothing worse.

(01:07:45):
And you know full will. Inthis business too, you meet somebody
you're like, you know, forwhatever reason, they've gotten to a position
and you're like, ah, yeah, but you know why lie and they
have completely wiped the state. It'sbecause I'm amazing. And I'm not saying,
okay, everybody's allowed to have theirown opinion themselves, but you should

(01:08:06):
be. It's always it's endearing whensomebody can at least be self reflective and
go and I think you're you've pointedsomething out to me that I haven't thought
about before. There are two typesof notions. There are people that have
notions that they're oblivious to that they'recalled tricks, and then there's people that
are aware they have notions and aredoing notions things with an ironic twist like

(01:08:30):
yeah, like yeah, look,I know, I think it's actually a
bit extra. I think it's thatas opposed to being like, you know,
it's not it's not that you thinkyou're any better than anyone else.
It's it's like, how much crackwould it be to have a slide?
That's what it is. It ishow much crack would it be to have
this lovely boy that I knew whoowned a cafe, who then was on

(01:08:54):
a big swanky art show, hasa piano in his kitchen? How how
lovely would it be to get thatman to do my house? And actually
ended up having a gorgeous, gorgeousfriendship with him, like he'd be a
friend now, do you know what? He and he's one of the good
ones. He's not one of thestupid ones that I collected. He's not
a wave, No, he's nota way for a straight he's top notch

(01:09:14):
guy. But for a while afterafter him being here. I couldn't make
any decisions about the house. Ifelt like being like, David, I'm
thinking of buying a toast toast,do I need toasted? Do I need
Brennan's bread? Or what would youlike? For a while I'd say,
he was like, okay, Laura, I'm off the clock. Now you
go do what you need to do. You see, the problem was you

(01:09:35):
had you had brought in a newson. It was what it was,
and you hadn't birthed him. Hewas with my therapy dog. I actually
think he was my therapy dog slashtherapist. I was like this coming man
bringing you on holidays. They letyou sit up my feet on the plane.
It'll be fine. Can I justhold you for a minute please?
Now I feel better? Yeah No, he was definitely some sort of security

(01:09:55):
blanket. So so now he's stillthat, but mainly just a pal let's
less security blanketing to do. Hey, listen, we're we could natter to
head off, but we've got anotherwhole evening of naturally with each other in
We're kicking. Second, we're kickingthis weekend and my very own comedy club.
I can't wait for you see it? Now, what time am I

(01:10:15):
coming down. Will you please remindme Show one kicks off at six pm?
Six pm, okay, perfect,and then we can do we can
You'll be on and then whatever breakand need can be on and we can
nip away for by these or whateverif you want between the shows, or
you can just hang out in thegreen room and just well, I usually
like to be weird. That's that'sthat's what happens to me. I find
I think it's since I think isit from having babies and now being at

(01:10:39):
comedy clubs with like younger comedians.If there's a gap like that, I
just find it go so weird.I'm like, okay, I'm gone weird.
Now I have to just you know, if there's a kind of a
chit chat, like it wouldn't bethat case with you and Neil because we'd
be contemporaries. But the amount oftimes recently that I'm like, I'll just
go sit weirdly in the car andthen you're sitting well, no, I
get that, yeah, yeah,and somebody walks past, like the other

(01:11:00):
comedians walk past, and then you'relike, now they've seen me sitting weirdly,
and now I'm just weird. I'mjust that weird. I don't get
that, you know what I mean. I just become ferociously unusual. It's
such a weird hindrance. What whatI guarantee will happen to you is show
one will the audience will exit intothe bar and they will be at up
to ninety because that's the way theyare. They'll be up to fucking ninety

(01:11:23):
having the greatest time. You willend up mingling out there because you'll want
a seven up or something and you'llbe find and before you know it,
they'll go, oh my god,I love you, Jesus Christ. I'm
not going over town. This isthe greatest night of my life. And
I'll be booked in for ten hennights and four weddings. But you have
a you of course have a podcastas well. After leaving Red of M.

(01:11:44):
You left and I love that.I love the name of it.
There's so many connectations, doesn't it. Like it's so spiteful, and I
love a bit of spite. So, in a nutshell, I was on
Breakfast Radio of course right of M. Me like so we were at the

(01:12:06):
Breakfast Show me Heira Revens and RobHefferlin. Olympic Walker, Rob Heaferlin and
basically a new company but the newbut the old company and the new boss
fire Drop and I did not approveof that. So then I left as

(01:12:26):
a result, because I don't believein corporate bricks coming in and the day
when somebody will will walk away fromthe corporate on morals. Oh I couldn't.
I like, I with get it. Witnessed the moment and you see,
I'm not corporate. I am thatartistic school. And I knew the
kind of I knew the value ofRob as a person. I kind of

(01:12:49):
felt we had enough people on ourairwaves that were, you know, very
slick and come on guys coming upnext to the cheering, and I'm like,
Rob is not that, And Ifeel like he was what the kind
of the world needed, was likea more rounded, doughty, lovely kind
man, but also like with thatkiller fucking instinct because he's obviously been to
five Olympics. So they said tome that to have my baby and we

(01:13:11):
chat afterwards, and I was like, well, there's no chat afterwards.
I actually resigned on air, whichwas quite che did you Yeah, yeah,
why did I know this? Yeah? We it came to the point
where like Rob to they want longstory short. They wanted Rob to issue
a kind of a bland statement andRob's like, I'm not going to do

(01:13:34):
that and walk around to people arecork like. They don't want them to
think that I've never given up anthink in my life. Blah blah blah.
So he said it on air andI said to him before I said
to him, did he want meto also say it on the same day,
because I didn't want to take anylimelight from him, but equally I
didn't want to a couple of dayslater, be like, well, I

(01:13:55):
just decided there and he was like, if if you want to. At
no point did he put any pressureon me, So I said, can
we go for it? So wedid. Abody knows no, no,
no, no, and we gotto stay on air for about another six
weeks, which was chaos, butwe were you know, we honored our
contract and we wanted to be veryrespectful of the other girl that was on

(01:14:16):
with us because we were contractors andshe she was an employee, and you
know, we didn't want to makeanything ever awkward for her. So we
were mostly very well behaved. Wedid get one or two little Schnidi comments,
saying, and I do think thatRob finished off on our last day.
He did get a choking our Law, said the great as the great

(01:14:39):
John's Plan once said, choking ourLaw. That was amazing. So we
it was so when we left then, like it was always our intention to
do a podcast then because we knew, like we got the thing about it
is on breakfast radio, we didn'thave. You have so little time.
It's hard. It's really really hard. You don't really get to be full

(01:15:00):
of yourself. You have to kindof be like, oh my god,
you will leap, but you knowyou have to be that. And so
me and rob Uth chat off air, and those chats were so enjoyable and
Kira as well. You know,they were the real stuff, stuff about
our lives stuff, but our kids, like, you know, his real
opinions and stuff is his loud thoughtsabout everything. We used to have just

(01:15:23):
throws as crack. And so weplan to do the podcast, but it
was really like I was going towait until March until I'd had the baby,
and Rob was like, no,no, no, we'll be forgotten.
He's like, we need to tryand get it at least one or
two done. Before you have thebaby. So we launched last November and
it's called Red Raw and it's justsuch a pleasure Tom like to be free.

(01:15:46):
Like I think we'd never actually regretthe radio because now we know what
it is to be free and tobe able to be our real selves and
to have our real thoughts and wedon't have all the answers and we're not
slick, and it's it's very itis very raw because that's what we want
to do. We don't want todo this compliant corporate ballocks anymore. I'd

(01:16:09):
still be there, do you knowwhat I mean? But I think,
like my husband calls the Blood Brothers, He's like, well you're blood brothers
now because of the fact that theway that they radio ended. But like
we are tremendous paths and it isit's like we enjoy talking to each other.
We've had guests on as well,a few guests. We've only had
two guests, three guests to day, but like it's just that feeling of

(01:16:31):
being able to talk about stuff thatwe wanted to speak about but you can
talk about on the radio because you'vegot two minutes, do you know what
I mean? It just it mustbe what North Koreans feel like when they
get across the DMZ they can justfinally got fuck that guy the freedom And
like, genuinely we're a year onnow, Like this time last year,
I was crying on the couch hegot fired on my birthday. I was

(01:16:55):
crying on a swinging couch out thefront. We were fucking devastated because it
was just pulled out from under us. But a year on, I'm like,
I have no malice towards anything thatwent on the way it played out,
like I wouldn't be a rebellious soul. He definitely drew the rebel out
in me. But because I feltit was so wrong, I just felt
like, this is fucking stupid.This is stupid. But I think we

(01:17:18):
kind of realize now that we're not. Of course we could do a radio
show, there's nothing suggests that wecouldn't, but this is more suited.
I've got more suited to us tothis. It's going really well. Like
I wanted to go better, butit is already amazing. You know,
it's just you know, you're neversatisfied, Yeah of course, yeah,

(01:17:39):
yea, yeah, you wanted tobe like fucking seventeen nights in the Three
Arena. Do you know we'll getthere one night in the Everyman in September
fourteenth. That's incredible, already nearlysold out, so like, you know,
that's fab and you could like ayear ago, I would have hoped
for this, but I just wasso afraid that it would be almost like

(01:18:00):
Robo was liking it to, likewhen you make friends on holidays and thens
and it's like, oh fuck,that's actually gone. But it's not that,
so we're delighted. I think thatwas one of the things that was
really getting me, is like Idon't want to not get my kind of
weekly dose of pepernin yes, yeah, yeah, And so now we still
have that, So it's great andthe people of Ireland have it in the

(01:18:24):
real, unfiltered way as opposed tolike, okay, guys, we're gonna
go to the cash machine. Iknow, yeah, Jesus Christ, but
that it must be lovely for Isupposed to support to not I've had people
left radio listening and go, ohgreat these two of I like them anyway,
but now there's no shite nets andnow I can go listen to so

(01:18:45):
there. I mean, Cork isgreat for supporting its own and it's a
great like it is. It's heartwarming to see it. But yeah,
and like we want to go outsideof Cork. Yeah totally, but as
well a load of people have beenlike, oh, I didn't like you
on the radio at all. That'shilarious. It was so many I didn't
like you on the radio all.A woman said to me today, she

(01:19:06):
