August 06, 2021#76: Holiday Tales, Homecomings And Beach CopsI'm on the road recording from my bedroom in Birr, Co. Offaly, which turns out to be more difficult than usual. I'm also fresh from a first family holiday with Cara and Luke where we encountered a busybody, some boat wankers and also some lovely times. I get a little bit political talking about covid fatigue as I return to stand up and there's the latest episode of Baby Detective. Enjoy!...more52minPlay
July 23, 2021#75: Senór Baby Falls Down A Youtube Rabbit HoleI'm back with a new episode that contains two tiny bits of baby knowledge that are peppered throughout in small doses like a vaccine and are very interesting but there is also a defence of baby talk and why I feel it's ok to talk baby. There's an improvised song about love making in hot weather, some bad analogies about toast, a desperation of the eventful trip Cara, Luke and I made to Birr, Co. Offaly and an exploration of a rabbit hole video I came across that I made into a jingle featuring Gary Oldman. All this plus episode two of the sow within the show, Baby Detective!...more1h 2minPlay
July 16, 2021#74: Unidentified Flying Objects In Podcasting SpaceIt's a new episode and I'm keeping the baby chatter to a minimum as I understand how annoying it can be for people to talk about their babies. I actually don't care about anyone else's and that's justified. Plus, there are bigger things happening like the news that aliens may be real.! I'm not so sure. Also, some tips for the sun, some improv songs and the next episode of the thrilling new show, "Baby Detective". Enjoy!...more43minPlay
July 09, 2021#73: More Podcasting About Cultural Appropriation And Babies.Back from a hiatus with some more baby chat but I'm mainly talking about strange and unusual cultural appropriation from an influencer who is white and English but now is Korean somehow. Eighteen surgeries helped. Also, what's going on with Alec Baldwins wife and is the Dutch accent something to be culturally appropriated? All this plus a preview of new show "Baby Detective" and some improv singing. Enjoy!...more59minPlay
June 20, 2021#72: Daddy Issues And Baby Detectives Featuring Luke SammonLuke Sammon has finally arrived and I am delighted and in love but also sleep deprived and unsure of what sunglasses are for! The story of his birth is one where I resist the urge to mansplain about the work of Elton John, I feel a potentially murderous urge to defend my newborn and some other parents maybe not being the greatest make me feel like i'm gonna be OK at this whole Daddy business. Plus, a new, potentially mega hit show that came to Cara in a dream. All this plus a guest appearance by Luke himself! Enjoy!...more57minPlay
June 04, 2021#71: Giddy Hot Takes And A Live Stand Up Special From Way Back In 2018!It's a podcast of two halves as, firstly, I tackle a bunch of hot takes on T-Shirt slogans and coffee loyalty cards amongst others and also a sidebar on why dogs eat grass. There's a mini improvised rap before finally a recording of a 2018 gig from the wonderful basement room that is the Comedy Crunch at The Stag's Head in which I am on seemingly nervous but good form plays out for the second half. Enjoy!...more53minPlay
May 28, 2021#70: Rooting, Shooting, Pulling Toothing, Crazy Dreams Before RebootingThe day of the baby's arrival is fast approaching and I outline the various dental procedures I have gone through over the years that amount to almost exactly the same as childbirth I'd imagine. I also explore why anyone would want to be a dentist and whether or not they can or should be trusted and I finish my dental rant with a recital of a poem about looking after your teeth I remember from primary school. I've auditioned remotely for a Hollywood movie that will be shooting in the next couple of months, I talk about gender specific baby nonsense and describe a dream I just had where I embarrassed myself and also perved on Princess Diana. Enjoy!...more44minPlay
May 21, 2021#69: Feeling Fine, Back Online, Gasbagging Again For The Umpteen TimeAfter a long hiatus and with the literal days ticking down to the birth of my first child I ponder the very existence of owning your own human being. I talk about some weird parenting behaviour I've noticed. I about my resemblance to a Limerick man from the nineteen seventies. All this plus my short Reggie Watts inspired improv song, my lukewarm takes on the notion of super soldiers in Marvel TV shows and I read out the glut of YouTube comments left on my video of Donald Trump dancing and demanding the finest beautiful men as well as give you the news of my very first driving lessons. Spoiler alert, I'm a natural! Enjoy!...more51minPlay
April 02, 2021#68: You Are Ice Cream In My Dreams (And I'm Eating You)This week I'm talking babies babies babies, so cute you just want to eat them up like ice-cream! But don't, that is frowned upon. Myself and the lovely Cara take a two day antenatal class with a zoom room full of strangers. Will there be actual knowledge in this episode? Yes, surprising and strange facts about the sometimes mysterious facts of childbirth. Also, I justify having a child in a dangerously overpopulated and troubled world. Plus, the only April Fool's prank that I fell for back in 2005 and what my younger pranking self used to get up to in phone boxes. All this and a little song about ice-cream at the end. Enjoy!...more54minPlay
