Ed and Cara hold an emergency podcasting session to talk about what seems on the surface to be a PR distaster at best, a deep conspiracy involving cover ups and revenge killings with a sprinkling of affairs and photoshopping at worst. The truth is somewhere in between maybe. Does this signal the beginning of the end for the British monarchy? Listen in to find out!
Ed is back with a brand new microphone and a brand new agenda! To figure out what kind of kinky stuff was happening on the Holodeck in Star Trek the Next Generation and if we are headed in the same direction. Also he has news about his upcoming stand up show and he poses the question of what question you would ask God if you got the chance after taking too many mushrooms. all this plus a surprise Valentine's Day appearance from Cara and some other live comedy recommendations.
Ed and Cara went to the movies and saw the now billion dollar Barbie movie! What did they think about it? Listen and find out, it's a very mild to no spolier discussion on the merits of this unique film. Ed then runs through the top movies coming from the Mattel slate of films in development and whether they seem like excellent cinematic opportunities or just weird intellectual property cash ins. Enjoy!
Hey Sammon Skins, welcome to the new season of the show where I will be talking to other human people instead of to myself and/or characters I'm playing, which is also to myself. The first batch of episodes features conversations with my favourite person in the world, Cara Murphy, my wife and Mother of our tiny human boy. The concept for the podcast came from our first date, where I was so nervous I didn't ask Cara any questions and she has never let me forget. So to make up for this I'm asking ...
Barry Gibb returns to pay tribute to the late Coolio in his own unique style and tell me of his love for fish oil in jars and the run in's he has hand with alligators in his home in Florida alongside many other strange topics of conversation.

Poor old Lizzy, the Queen of England, has popped her clogs and they are now being worn by Charles. Some people have very strong feelings about her death, grown men who look like the kind of tough east end of London types are crying over her passing. Are they brainwashed? Am I through the quality of the Crown series? Or m I simply casually indifferent which I have learned can be a dangerous thing in this day and age of the hot take. I go through my feelings and compare the ex-Queen to a famous su...
I'm back baby! A soft reboot into season 2! No numbered episodes, More silly stuff, less straight white man gives his opinion episodes and some special movie ones from time to time! Whenever I make them, I put them out, that's the plan! This episode I'm talking about heckling from my own recent gig and the general difference when it comes to men and women who heckle. Also, would you really kill baby Hitler if you had the chance? All this plus a bit more. Head over to my patreon and get 100 per c...
It's coming closer to the end of this podcast in it's current form as I realise halfway through telling my story about my first ever trip abroad to Amsterdam that I've mentioned it before on the pod. It's full of extra detail and I talk about my trip to Morocco also which is new. Anyway, there are also some songs and some excellent impressions of Tom Jones as the rambling off the top of my head pods are coming to an end. What's next? Focused and shorter pods with more sketches and less waffle! E...
It's a New Year and things are looking cautiously optimistic, maybe. I've been living with Covid as Cara tested positive on Christmas Eve and myself and baby Luke soon after so it's been a stressful one. Also, Super Valu never delivered our turkey so we had ham for Christmas. Not ideal but I got to watch some things and will give you my review of them as well as my top ten Christmas treats and a couple of festive songs to ring in the New Year. Enjoy!
This week I mention Bressie again in the opening improvised theme tune lyrics along with Ryan Turbridy and I go into a long explanation as to why I don't really have much time for either of them and recount the time I watched a newsreader in his underwear and walked past a car that had actor Richard Gere in the "hallowed" halls of the national broadcaster. There's also some rapping and a really bad impression of Sly Stallone being interviewed on an imaginary "Chat" show. Enjoy!
This weeks episode sees a new high for my six month old son Luke as he becomes already better at swimming than all the other babies his swim class and also and his father. Me. Who can't swim. I also give some recommendations for music not on my Spotify wrapped top five and also a band with a new documentary that I discuss and a link to some old music from a little known band found at the link below. https://soundcloud.com/majestykallstars/sets...
This week I'm hungover and soaking in the lake of my life memories and briefly slagging off Bressie in the process before having a rapping old time and dissecting the very existence of Santa Claus and my loss of innocence as a child when I discovered he wasn't real. It's also the season for seasonal sandwiches which sometimes contain controversial ingredients. There's a podcast recommendation and various asides. Enjoy! x
This week I lay down some knowledge about what gruel is exactly as Luke joins me briefly to chew on things and be sampled for a bit of hip hop. I'm wandering the streets with sacks of dirty clothes and I explain why grating carrots is not like grating carriages and old friend of the podcast Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees calls in to talk about his very Bee Gee centric Halloween and write the theme tune for the as yet unmade horror film An American Werewolf In Miami off the top of his head. Enjoy!
This week's episode features lots of random rambles and some almost factually correct improv raps about French mermen and Paris monuments. The passive aggressive swimming instructor sage continues, I talk about Star Wars for a few minutes and imagine how the Sith and the Jedi would behave on social media plus some live stand up comedy from me in The Comedy Crunch from just last week with post gig heckling stories and other tales from the circuit. Enjoy!
It's post Halloween if you know what I mean, I'm making inappropriate jokes when trick or treaters are on the scene, I'm trying to bust rhymes while babies scream, I'm crossing over the Liffey as I'm back on the stand up scene. Also the corona isn't going away but that's no reason to be sneezing this season. All this plus extra bad rhyming and a song with no lyrics for you to complete possibly. Enjoy!
This week's episode is all bout spooky things and real scary things. Why was one of the actors in the Exorcist actually kind of cursed? Is it the scariest film of all time? What's the deal with my old clothes from the 90's and how come there are no ghosts from recent times? Also, there's a story about my personal ghost hunting in Scotland and a freestyle rap from Simon the friendly vampire (but not too friendly). Enjoy!
As it's getting closer to Halloween I delve into the supposed curses that have been appropriated with certain movies and the myths around others in the wake of the tragic on set death on the Alec Baldwin starring western "Rust". An opening theme song improv reminds me of a questionable set of lyrics in an old 80's classic and I have an incident or two at a baby swimming class. All this plus my sure fire baby book idea! Enjoy.
It's an extra episode that you could have every Sunday if you wanted to as it's direct from my Patreon page! I'm reacting to the Batman trailer that just dropped like a hot potato with a superhero carved into it's face and the Flash trailer that also features more Batmen. It's a bat bonanza! Also, I ponder if Sean Connery could ever play Batman and talk about algorithms and demographics and how we don't fall over physical copies of movies or TV shows. All this plus some improv songs about Americ...
This episode sees me just ranting in a nice way about the proliferation of negative vibes online and how it can blind you to what you may actually enjoy. I talk about how George Lucas and others have their fingers on the pulse of the Zeitgeist and go through the recent Wonka prequel announcement and the Ghostbusters sequel reactions. Plus, a snippet of Cocaine City, a soap opera that does not exist. Enjoy!
This week I am determined that my alter ego "Captain frugal" should be triumphant in his quest for good and cheap nappy bags and win Father of the year. It's probably best to listen to that on 1.5 speed until you get to my theory for how the world news is going to be delivered in the new future. There's a bunch of cartoon show reviews and the book reading , my work in progress book and specifically a section concerning my worst gig when I was starting out, my third gig that had a bit that I woul...
This week I ponder the last Daniel Craig Bond movie being released and whether or not he's an attractive man who needs his face ironed which leads to a discussion about ironing in general. Also, Luke and I attended our first baby bonding session with other babies learning about sounds and shapes and massage which leads me to discuss the cast of characters he plays with at home. Plus I reveal my shocking self romping techniques after being blackmailed over the internets! Enjoy!
I'm back once again with the podcasting and I'm giving an update on what I've been up to before my son is cuddled out of the room which leads me to write a song about how much of an angel baby he is. There's a thorough dissection of an old Cornish legend and a few hot takes on a few lukewarm issues. Enjoy!
A new theme tune again opens this episode featuring more children's stories being dissected and some Beatles chat after watching the new Disney plus show with Rick Rubin and Paul McCartney that's not a sponsor of the podcast but a great show and there is an eventual ice cream deal you can seek out from supermarkets also not sponsered by this podcast. All this, Plus, a reading from my book which is halfway first drafted, there's two chapters here in rough audiobook form. Enjoy!
I'm back from the Scotland and I have tales from the Edinburgh Fringe including a new stand up bit born out of annoyance and the most unusual audience members I've ever performed to. I talk about having my comedy brain switched on again and briefly mention covid before breaking down a seemingly cute yet ultimately disturbing children's story. There's also an announcement regarding the future of the pod. Enjoy!
It's the latest episode where I start talking about my baby boy's sleep habits but go off on several tangents before finally returning to it towards the end. This should be of no surprise to anyone who's heard the podcast before. Tangents include the treasure trove of movie memorabilia that my sister in law's Uncle had in his possession, how I would re-edit Aliens, why dog parents are not real parents, recalling the one time I met the late Sean lock, how you can get into the movie business throu...
I'm joined this episode by Cillian, my nephew who has a new favourite actor who isn't Al Pacino and gives us his two cents on the Black Widow movie. My niece Roisin gives the perfect answer as to why horror films are enjoyable to watch and she finds out the worst thing you can do on a podcast so trigger warning; the episode contains mild eating ice-cream noises. There's also a mini interview with Luke, my thoughts on the pandemic and where we are now and the latest episode of Baby Detective. Enj...
I'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!
I'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 Ga...
It'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!
