Will Slattery (0:12)

Hello, Joe, how are you?

Joe Molloy (0:13)

Ronan Mullen, hello to you. Hi, Joe. Been a while since we've done this, nice to reconvene.

Will Slattery (0:17)

You're looking well.

Joe Molloy (0:17)

Thank you.

Will Slattery (0:18)

Very well.

Ronan Mullen (0:19)

Fresh, I would say.

Will Slattery (0:19)

Yeah, very fresh.

Ronan Mullen (0:20)

You're so generous.

Joe Molloy (0:23)

Is there nothing sacred?

Will Slattery (0:26)

What? You do look clean, I would say.

Ronan Mullen (0:30)

And now you're laying it on a bit thick.

Joe Molloy (0:32)

Right. Well, just to say I had a shower a bit an hour ago in the office.

Ronan Mullen (0:35)

Hour ago, 20 minutes.

Will Slattery (0:37)

Think of Joey going into Charlton Heston's locker room with friends, and that was what Joe described when he said, oh, I can start. I just have to have a really, really quick. I thought he was going to say lunch. He's like, shower. And we kind of all looked at him.

Ronan Mullen (0:48)

Yeah, you could have finished that sentence in any number of ways.

Will Slattery (0:50)

Yeah. Kind of comedic comic book stink lines coming off him like.

Joe Molloy (0:55)

It was a hectic morning around Chez Molloy this morning. The kids were lively. The clock got away from us. And you know, when you start in your sweatpants and dirty t-shirt, I found myself in the office in my sweatpants and dirty t-shirt.

Will Slattery (1:10)

You came in at about 11 o'clock.

Joe Molloy (1:12)

It was a bad morning.

Will Slattery (1:13)

So you had time for a shower.

Joe Molloy (1:14)

You would think so, but we actually just had to get them to crash. It was obscene, you know what I mean?

And I thought, I was probably going to, you know, I'm virgin tonight and I'll just have a shower there or in the office. And I had a shower and obviously your eyes lit up as if I was doing something odd. Lots of people shower in the office.

Will Slattery (1:33)

Had the stopwatch out as well. I questioned whether that was a very, very quick shower.

Joe Molloy (1:36)

Lots of people cycled to work, jogged to work and have a shower. You know, it's actually a busy shower.

Ronan Mullen (1:43)

That's what the lockers are for outside.

Will Slattery (1:45)

Do you shower and work often?

No. I've only used it once ever. I think in the 10 years I've been here. I do it on my own time.

Joe Molloy (1:54)

Well, listen.

Will Slattery (1:55)

You look well though. Thank you.

Joe Molloy (1:57)

You do look good. Thank you. Thank you. I got the six o'clock show later. I got France, South Africa. I need to be clean.

Ronan Mullen (2:02)

If you weren't going to mention it, we were.

Will Slattery (2:03)

Yeah. I can't wait. Joe's previous six o'clock show appearance is the highlight of my month that day.

Joe Molloy (2:08)

The monkfish was good. Yeah. I needed to do a lot more.

Because I think I just did it like a normal person as opposed to.

Will Slattery (2:15)

Yeah. Brian Dowling was really quizzing you on Lily Allen. That was like a big, on her new album.

Ronan Mullen (2:19)

Yeah.

Will Slattery (2:20)

You basically appropriated her own and talking points and passed them off as your own, I recall.

Ronan Mullen (2:24)

It should have been like phone a friend. You should have just got them. You sent in a voice.

Joe Molloy (2:27)

See, we had been talking about her album that week, obviously, and they obviously had done some research and what are they talking about in this? Indo, what is it? And you talking about what Lily Allen sucked me in. And so then live on air, Brian Dowling said, and I knew it was coming because you can see the screens.

Will Slattery (2:41)

Oh no.

Joe Molloy (2:41)

So I just saw on the screen, because Paddy Casey was on, so we were talking music.

Will Slattery (2:45)

Yeah.

Joe Molloy (2:45)

And by the way, I was on just to promote Virgin's Rugby on the next day. Let's not get any, I wasn't talking about like your life story. Yeah, correct. So I could just see as he was finishing an answer on his new album, on the screen, it went to like the cover of Lily Allen's new album. And that's when I thought, Paddy Casey is not going to be asked about that.
