  • It’s Giving Christmas without the turkey
    Dec 24 2025

    This Christmas Eve episode is a special one. And the final episode of 2025.

    Shane sits down and reflects on the year that was. The highs, the lessons, the moments that mattered, and the ones that changed him.

    He shares his own Christmas traditions, why turkey never makes it onto his plate, and what he actually eats instead. He looks back on the best and worst Christmas presents he has ever received, what is on his wish list this year, and why Christmas means more to him than just gifts and food.

    Along the way, Shane shares some genuinely funny stories and does not stop laughing from start to finish.

    This episode is about slowing down, taking stock, and remembering what Christmas is really about., gratitude, family in all its forms, and taking a moment to pause before a new year begins.

  • It's Giving Nothing But Honesty
    Dec 17 2025

    By huge demand, Shane McCarthy is joined by Josephine Duffy for an honest, open conversation.

    Shane opens up about the pressure he sometimes feels to always be funny, even on the days when he is not in a great headspace. Josephine shares how she deals with those expectations and how she stays grounded when things feel heavy.

    Josephine talks about her life as a settled woman married to a Traveller man and shares her version of the story in her own words. She also explains the famous fishy fishy story and why she has chosen to step away from it.

    They speak about creating content online, why Josephine does not see herself as famous, and the importance of respecting your kids, your family, and those closest to you if they do not want to be part of social media, and how they navigate those boundaries.

    There are plenty of laughs as Shane and Josephine reminisce about their trip to Lithuania, alongside real talk and thoughtful advice for anyone struggling at this time of year.
