We are bringing our show, Happy Campers, to the Southern Hemisphere.

Get ready, babes, because we're going to Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and parts.

0

12.027 - 15.03 PJ Kirby

I'm so excited for a bit of sun in November and December.

0

15.09 - 16.732 Kevin Twomey

Don't worry, babe. I packed the Factor 50.

16.832 - 22.838 PJ Kirby

Fabulous. Also, if there's any cute tour guides who want to show me around, I'll be looking for someone to do so.

23.179 - 32.687 Kevin Twomey

If you were there last year, you know it's not just a show. It's an extravaganza. It's an experience, isn't it? Make sure to grab your tickets via the link in the episode description.

34.523 - 48.421 PJ Kirby

If I think I'm having an unlucky day, right? Where things aren't going my way. Alanis Morissette. It's raining on my wedding day, right? Is that a lyric? Well, the thing is, Alanis Morissette, that was all to do with luck.

49.022 - 51.726 Kevin Twomey

Oh yeah, it was nothing to do with irony. Nothing at all. No.

Chapter 2: How did the fuel protests affect Kevin's travel plans?

87.758 - 91.771 Kevin Twomey

Show me. Well, they're all in grandma ones. I was there when they were designed.

0

91.791 - 95.476 PJ Kirby

No, but these are the ones because I've had to readjust. I had some silly ones on there.

0

95.556 - 115.65 Kevin Twomey

What ones? You took off the I support women one. And the Free Palestine one's gone as well. No, they're both still in there, guys. I support women's rocks. Oh, war. New Barry's team one. It's cute. And there's also that one there. Read it out. No baby on board, but please feel free to ram into me. Kevin, do me.

0

115.75 - 122.192 PJ Kirby

No baby on board, please feel free to ram into me. Isn't that such a bonkers concept though when you think about it?

0

122.324 - 125.989 Kevin Twomey

No, but like people drive more carefully when there's a baby on board.

126.49 - 137.504 PJ Kirby

If you're behind a car where there's a baby on board. But that's ridiculous. What do you mean? Oh, try a bit harder not to crash into me because there's actually a baby in the car as well. So it would be extra awful if there was to be an accident.

137.685 - 148.399 Kevin Twomey

Or does it shut up the lads who are too quick to beep? Oh, is it to stop the beepers? If they're beepy beeps, yeah. Some people need to save their horn for their wives. And I know I say that all the time.

148.379 - 166.86 PJ Kirby

but girls do you say that all the time that's the first time I've heard you say it you need to save your home for your wife girl and you need to get off that beeper you do like I'm telling you real men ride women yeah honestly not the horn not the horn you know do you have this issue when you're home in Cork because I certainly do and it's sending me into Orvis

166.84 - 186.327 PJ Kirby

Anytime I hear a beep, if I'm like walking somewhere and you know, girls, I'm a 10k steps girly, so I'm always booting around the place. I hear a horn and in my head, I presume people are spotting me out and they're beeping at me. Okay. Because I kind of had that issue before we even did the pod where I'd come home and I... People would just be like, right, Kevin.

Chapter 3: What funny stories did PJ share about Jordan's wedding?

790.775 - 811.001 Kevin Twomey

So I panicked. And there's video of this. It's so embarrassing. I start going... For the whole song. For the full two-minute song. And like, and then I panicked. Poor Shakira. They would like sing. They would like sing. And I goes, I can't, I don't know the words. They were like, the words are there. They were like, that's what karaoke is. You know what I mean?

0

811.522 - 813.686 Kevin Twomey

So I just want to apologise to Shakira.

0

813.906 - 823.523 PJ Kirby

Now, I would rarely pick a song for karaoke unless I kind of already knew the lyrics down pat beforehand. I thought I did know the lyrics though.

0
0

824.324 - 846.636 Unknown

but that's the second verse that you hit me with anyway yeah is this the bit about the press i couldn't tell you it's not my karaoke song it's yours oh whenever wherever i got that bit meant to be together anyway it was that was the sag that was actually an amazing song that was oh no that shook the nation

846.616 - 866.229 PJ Kirby

You can't say that was the stag because you need to tell us about the other antics that happened on the stag. Because I'm actually slightly in panic mode because my brother's gotten engaged. I'm already dreading that stag. They don't even have a day for the wedding, but I'm like, the day I get that text. Yeah, you have to go though. No, I'm going into witness protection.

866.309 - 868.751 Kevin Twomey

No, you have to go to the stag, you do. No, girls, get me off.

869.052 - 871.995 PJ Kirby

Emma Hockney stopped the plan and let me get off. Honest to God.

872.135 - 889.134 Kevin Twomey

No, you do. You need to. And as well, to be honest, your brother's friends are going to be pure wholesome as well. The lads, I was trying the whole weekend, sorry to the wives and the girlfriends, to try and get them to go to the strip club. So it's the second day of the stag, right? I'm feeling post karaoke shame, right? I'm already looking at flights home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts define luck and its role in mindset?

907.172 - 914.807 Kevin Twomey

Oh, really? So basically what happened was we get locked and we go to Molly Malone's. We went to every Irish bar in Malaga, right? We're in Mally Malone's in the Malaga Square.

0

914.988 - 916.35 PJ Kirby

Why do people go abroad?

0

916.61 - 934.315 Kevin Twomey

Oh, we could have went to town and we had had the same experience. My feet didn't touch the sand. We didn't set foot in the sea. I went to three Irish pubs and I went to Burger King twice. Do you know what I mean? But anyway, so we're in the square. We're in Mally Malone's. We're about to leave. Jordan gets a text on me. You didn't go to the beach. No.

0

934.415 - 956.661 Kevin Twomey

Did you even wake up early yourself one morning to go for a dip? No. Did you go to the pool? Babe, I went to the pool. But it's too cold to get in. So I was in the square. Jordan gets a text from me. I'm going to the strip club. Don't leave without me. Right? I go into the strip club, right? I think I was being ushered there by one of these scouts. He was like, come to the strip club. Walks in.

0

956.641 - 973.159 Kevin Twomey

The strippers come over to me, start robbing me. They start putting their hands in my pockets and trying to take out my wallet. I start having a panic attack. Wait, what? Babe, I start having a panic attack. I goes, oh, this is how I lose everything. They were trying to take my ring off. I run into the bathroom. I'm in the cubicle.

973.6 - 993.257 Kevin Twomey

I'm in the cubicle going, I only wanted to come and look at the choreography. And then I'm panicking. And then I had to sneak back out and make sure I had everything with me. Jordan gets a text. You decked one of the strippers. No, I didn't. I didn't. You laid her out flat. I didn't. I didn't. I ran out right. Jordan gets a text from me five minutes later. I've now left the strip club.

993.277 - 995.001 Kevin Twomey

Where are you? Come back and find them.

995.622 - 1017.985 Kevin Twomey

right then then in the meantime a week's passed since the sag dean is freaking out dylan's friend ringing dylan come here did we go to the strip club because claire just texted me there being like i heard you went to the strip club i'm coming home i get your excuse ready right what happened in the meantime ona denine luke's luke's wife yeah you know now yeah

1017.965 - 1042.302 Kevin Twomey

has a vivid dream that we all go to the strip club on the stag she convinces herself that we were in the strip club now vivid dream yeah or did you go no i probably went all the lads are freaking out because they're kind of being gaslit by their wives like so they were like oh maybe i'm so lucky yeah and then no i'm freaking out and then we had to clear it all up at the wedding the only thing that actually happened was i went there and they tried to rob me

Chapter 5: What are some superstitions related to luck mentioned in the episode?

1253.052 - 1256.196 PJ Kirby

But you want to bring the vibes of karaoke. Miss me with the ballads.

0

1256.216 - 1258.76 Kevin Twomey

Yeah, imagine. Imagine everyone's rocking the gaff and they get up.

0

1258.78 - 1276.965 PJ Kirby

But that always happens. I frequent karaoke gaff from time to time. You know the way sometimes you'd be out in the pub and you don't want to go mental and go crazy and go to a club. So you end up opting for the karaoke bar. And you'd all be in there having a laugh and you're like, Mambo number five, you're doing a bit of that. And then some girl comes down and goes, never mind.

0

1276.945 - 1279.55 PJ Kirby

I'll find someone like you.

0

1279.61 - 1286.162 Kevin Twomey

And we're like, Rebecca, stop. Rebecca, you're bringing the vibes down. Rebecca, stop. Just leave him. Just leave him. Leave him, Rebecca. You're not in love anymore.

1286.262 - 1302.354 PJ Kirby

Also, we know you auditioned for The X Factor in 2011 and you didn't make it to judges' houses. You got into boot camp. You got into boot camp. You know what? I'm going to be the one to say it. It was the sob story that carried. Do you know what I mean? Rebecca, it's not strong enough. Yeah, it was your plot that got you there, girl.

1302.615 - 1311.775 Kevin Twomey

But also, look, God loves the trailer. Now, I would, like, be sass when I hear... There were nights when the wind was so cold.

1311.855 - 1318.687 PJ Kirby

But that's not someone just trying to show off singing chops. That's someone showing off story. Yeah. There's a huge difference.

1318.747 - 1324.637 Kevin Twomey

And I just want people to open the windows and let the wind blow into the room. You need a fan for that number, I think.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts relate their personal experiences to the concept of luck?

1344.411 - 1356.369 Kevin Twomey

Babe, I love her. I love it. Look it up. Shocking pink. Will we look it up? Look it up. We're going to Celine. Are we going to Celine? A podcast trip to Celine. And we'll go to Crazy Horse 2. Yeah, thank God I finally see it.

0

1356.389 - 1361.616 PJ Kirby

What do we do? Or is it capitalising on people's loneliness? I was going to say, would we do... A trip?

0

1362.237 - 1369.467 Kevin Twomey

Trips. Yeah, but you know the way the influencers be doing those trips sometimes. I'm like, are you just taking advantage of people when they're feeling a bit lonely?

0

1369.527 - 1371.87 PJ Kirby

I know, but some people do love it and I suppose it is true.

0

1371.85 - 1382.94 Kevin Twomey

a nice way for some people to connect if they don't have a solid friendship group themselves and it is it is really hard to make friends when you're an adult so I do think and I do think some people I would like to know actually if you've been and we can make a dime girl

1384.456 - 1405.941 Kevin Twomey

been on one of those trips like you know when you go with loads of people you don't know yeah did you love it or did you hate it i'd love to know comment below do we do it for a nap because there's not we'd be getting cease and desist from a few influencers but not just the influencer trips because there is other types of that nature like my neighbor jan she goes on the solo holiday trips where you meet other solo travelers

1405.921 - 1426.943 PJ Kirby

Yeah. Audrey did something like that. As someone who hasn't been on one of those trips, I'm not shitting on it. Yeah. Because, girlies, if I do decide further down the line that I want to do my yoga teacher training qualification, and I end up pulling a few of you over to Grand Canaria, I just think, you know what? Soft life. I know, but like... Soft life. Not saying it's soft life.

1426.963 - 1440.644 PJ Kirby

It's also something that I'm really interested in. I'm not just saying yoga teacher's lives are easy, but I love the idea of practicing daily. Girls... Since kind of the start of the year, I've gotten back into yoga. Two yoga classes a week. Oh, love. And girls.

1440.985 - 1449.141 Kevin Twomey

It centers me. When you're stretching yourself frequently, you can handle anything. And when your mind is stretched...

Chapter 7: What insights do the hosts provide about luck versus hard work?

1892.334 - 1914.126 PJ Kirby

But my brothers were working parent-time jobs, right? I didn't tell anyone that I'd won it. Christmas morning, right? Me, that's for you, Mum and Dad, right? Yeah. They were shaking. No, my dad got very annoyed. He goes, you can't be spending your money on us like that. And he was like, no, that's too much. So I actually had to tell him that I had won in school. And he was weak then.

0

1914.146 - 1920.235 PJ Kirby

I was like, yeah, but I was like, we'll all be going out for dinner. And also I won other bets. I used to win a few games.

0

1920.255 - 1923.099 Kevin Twomey

You won the Blades competition, but that's because you told them you're a fugly bastard.

0

1923.4 - 1924.541 PJ Kirby

See, yeah, I won that.

0

1924.561 - 1925.523 Kevin Twomey

But that was a creative writing.

1925.543 - 1927.245 PJ Kirby

But that was a creative writing competition, really.

1927.265 - 1928.908 Kevin Twomey

Yeah. You ate down with that one.

1929.048 - 1937.841 PJ Kirby

But I won the pair of Beats Pro that I won in... Oh, yeah. What's it called? Oh, Prime Time. Prime Time. Yeah. I won a pair of Beats in there.

1937.981 - 1938.121 Kevin Twomey

How?

Chapter 8: How do the hosts conclude their discussion on luck and mindset?

3113.433 - 3122.888 PJ Kirby

And I was being lovely. I was like, whatever. How are you getting on? Yeah. And next thing, your mum was like, oh, don't worry about that. That's free. And I was like, the whole Irish thing off. No, no, no.

0

3122.868 - 3147.148 PJ Kirby

i must pay for that no no no we we give uh we're allowed to give something for free out a day yeah i was here i was i was like what you every time i was like literally as the person who felt guilty every time they bought a coffee yeah the point where when you got me that keep cup like girls i used to only ever so press girls girls honestly thank god for the podcast And luck. And luck.

0

3147.669 - 3158.226 PJ Kirby

Because you used to sell filter coffee, it was a pound, right? If you went in with your keep cup, you got 50 cent off. I used to, my daily coffee would cost me 50 cent. Maybe I should go back.

0

3158.386 - 3170.647 Kevin Twomey

No, you really didn't love yourself because it tastes like tar. I know, it wasn't great. I know I'm kissing the freckle, I'm goodbye, but it was like... It wasn't great. It was like they got the sludge from the end of the machine and they were running through the filter and they go, here you poor bastard. That's what they say to you when they hand it over to you.

0

3170.667 - 3179.565 PJ Kirby

Because once I found out that there was a code and that there was a system in place where they would offer free, I was going in. I was going in.

3179.585 - 3180.948 Unknown

Hey, Queen, look at you, Queen.

3181.228 - 3198.446 PJ Kirby

It was role-playing at that point. And you know what? You should get them. I... The amount of times that I... Really? Actually, girls, when you laugh at me when I'm going about paying for my silly coffee every day, girls, it's only all adding up. I'm not in the negative yet with my monies because I got so many free coffees when I was going to press.

3198.466 - 3201.593 Kevin Twomey

Oh my God, really? Yeah. I do think it's nice that they let people do that, though.

3201.877 - 3202.498 Unknown

Yeah, do it.
