One time after visiting a therapists, she thanked me for helping her work through some of her issues.

I'm so old, when I was a kid, RTE would just sort of stop sometimes for no reason and they'd play Autobahn by Kraftwerk while they were fixing it.

No one else seems to remember, but this is it:

I was on a national television show once and my friends were like "I was not surprised to see you on television, but I was surprised you left the house", which is completely fair.

I'll say this for Marcel Walz - the kid's got chutzpah.

He's only gone and directed a movie of The Odyssey. Yes - THAT one.

If you have a stubborn stain, rub some lemon juice on it and let it soak in. Then put some vinegar on. It won't do anything but it's a fun activity for a rainy afternoon.

True story: I was referred to the hospital once by a GP because they couldn't find a pulse. "Am I clinically dead?" "I don't think so but it's best to make sure." SPOILER: I was not dead.

Let's talk about Brazil! It will be funny and clever. The podcast, I mean. Brazil is already funny and clever.

"Creep" being Radiohead's least favourite of their own songs is a hell of a vibe.

Why the hell are we using "percentile" when no one knows what it means, and some struggle even after it's explained? If you keep having to explain something over and over, use something else.

Why don't all these anti-solar-wind-power groups that seem to keep popping up around the country organise similarly against data centres?

If you only have empathy for people who look like you and agree with your opinions, that's not really empathy at all, is it? That's just solipsism by proxy.

What the hell is going on at English music festivals?

An undervalued aspect of podcasting is the ability to get two or more people to merely show up at the same time.
