From a cameo role in an Irish YouTube series to full length stand up shows, Stephen Kelly, also known as 'The Cowboy', has blown up in the comedy scene over the last number of years.Stephen is the face of the 3 Bucks Left page online. After getting a taste for performing whilst on tour with The Hardy Bucks live show, he decided he wanted to keep it going after The Hardy Bucks stopped filming.Himself and Peter Cassidy, also know as French Toast, created the page as their own spin off and route into comedy. He always had a passion for creativity but was restricted with his screen time in the show because of work. Stephen is the 2nd Ex Hardy Buck character I've had on the Podcast & it never fails to surprise me how sound they are.We chat about how he got into being involved in the show as well as his admiration for the creative minds that were behind it. Myself and Stephen also discuss the concept behind the page, 3 Buck Left, and how alot of his views are expressed in a comedic way, which in turn makes him a target for criticism. Stephen is an intelligent and articulate fella with strong views that he stands by unless proven wrong. I think its a great sign of character to be able to engage in debates with a degree of plasticity.Have a listen to get an insight into Stephen, The Hardy Bucks, 3 Bucks Left and abit of shite talk inbetween.

Part 1 of this great conversation is focused on purpose, passion and vulnerability. Cold Nips developed from the longing for community and meaning in Ryan's life. The idea of Cold Nips mirrors a lot of what we discuss in the episode regarding being able to process your inner feelings as well as following the voice inside you. When looking in 3rd person, it was peculiar to think how and why me and Ryan were having the conversation.
