In this episode I talk about buying presents, a Christmas break up, a horror gig down in Tipperary, and as always I give the devil his due.

In this Episode I talk in length about my first experience doing stand up comedy on live national television on the Ray Darcy show, it was part of a competition that I lost....the astute among you will probably feel some sour grapes being dangled in your ears. I wasn't thrilled with my own performance on the night, or the set up that we were put in, and I really stretch the limits of how much one man can whinge in an hour. I love you all very much. 

In the first episode of The Mike Rice Show, I tell stories about my crippling need to be liked, and need for connection, how that has consistently put me in unwanted situations, whether it be entering into a relationship with a chipper in Edinburgh,  being taken hostage by a child at a water park in Australia, or having my first pyschedelic experience non-consensually with a greedy little hippy in Chicago.
