Venting with Julie Jay

'Anton Savage was leaning in for the hug and I was don't lean in too close - I haven't changed my knickers.'

I chat about comedy rejection and not getting the Cat Laughs festival this year (the good news is I'm not personalising it), my daddy issues about Tommy Tiernan, the joy of not shifting anyone at your school staff party and my problem with people from Meath.

I also confess to not having changed my knickers before a Newstalk interview and dissect my conspiracy theory around pancake machines

'P Diddy is not going to be hosting the Gaisce awards anytime soon.'

This week I am chatting the P Diddy trial and four day freak-offs, Brooklyn Beckham dissing his dad for his 50th birthday and how Kim Kardashian's thieves aren't exactly on brand given their geriatric status.

I apologise for over-editing the podcast, discuss Candace Owens' obsession with the Macrons, constant oscillations about whether or not to have music on the pod and also my failure to produce mini-vents the last two weeks due to me attending not one but two family communions (the rumours are true, I am a deacon now).

Finally, I dissect a student's ominous message for me and why I am suddenly feeling like I am in Final Destination (a comedy gold moment).

'Am I Catholic now?'

I chat about my gig with Rosie O'Donnell, why my mother never let me learn an instrument for fear of the dental bills and how am I slowly being sucked back into the Catholic Church, as I discuss the self-hatred that propelled me to pick Mary as a confirmation name. 

I also recount my disastrous encounter with Leo Varadkar in the wild circa 2011 in what is sure to be a front page story because we are keeping it current.

'If we were a Sylvanian family this would be a towel.'

In today's vent I'm talking about Prince Harry getting removed from the family what's app group, Paloma Faith calling all men to arms and I rehash a bit of Roger Casement purely to keep things light and fluffy like a Victorian sponge.

'Am I David Mc Williams?'

Today I become an economist and have a vent about Michael Healy-Rae loving Air BnB when he himself is a multiple property owner, do a very problematic impression of Hugh Wallace and I talk about what for me would be the worst part of ending up in a ditch. I also announce that Pedro Pascal is going to find the solution to storms in Spain.

Thanks so much for listening guys, and if you have enjoyed the episode and could rate or review us on Spotify/Apple that would be amazing! Love yas, J x

'I'm pretty sure that, much like the moon landing, Picture This don't exist.' 

I debate whether or not Irish band Picture This actually exist or whether we imagined the whole thing, I chat about me being besties with Kneecap, talk about my wedding dress woes and how impressive I look whilst trying to read Intermezzo for the millionth time.

My old friend Micky Mc Gee gets in touch and I talk about how my recent onslaught of troll comments is in fact my lady petrol.

Thanks so much for listening! Love yas, J x

So it turns out George and Amal are not divorcing as previously reported on Venting, I just had a dream they were. I also question whether I am moving to Listowel as my Daft search history might suggest.

I give top tips on how to wither rude men, reminisce about the 90s tv show Felicity and muse on what we're all really getting out of bed for.

Thanks so much for listening! J x

'We obviously knew how this was going to end for the Pope and it wasn't going to be in Dancing With The Stars 2026.'

This week we are chatting the Pope's death, my tricky relationship with the Catholic Church and George and Amal Clooney's rumoured divorce.

I also dissect my instagram breakdown last week, recount phoning my ex (network) for podcast help and recall my worst heckles ever.

Thanks so much for listening! Love yas J x

In today's mini-vent I reminisce about getting fillers in Prague and window-shopping for nose jobs in Dublin circa 2006.  I also rale

'Yes Rory Mc Ilroy is a legend, but how much of a legend is he when it comes to lunchboxes?'

I question men's collective emotional outpouring to Rory Mc Ilroy's win compared to their steely response to the end of their marriage, chat Amanda Knox's current media tour, and confirm Alec Baldwin's status as an Irish dad.  I also touch upon my individual responsibility in sending Katy Perry to space. 

Finally, I confirm the rumours about me and Pat Kenny - aka the love that dare not speak its name. If you have enjoyed this episode I would be ever so grateful if you could download, subscribe, and rate it 5 stars whereever you listen to your pods. Love yas! J x
