Chapter 1: What did Jessie Buckley's Oscar win mean for Ireland?
Ah yeah, we're all basking this morning, basking in the glory of Jessie Buckley and her Oscar win. We thought we'd do it and we did. We, the collective we, us as a nation. We bagged an Oscar, we bagged a triple crown and we're basking in the glory. It's brilliant, isn't it?
and we sort of can say now we never thought it was in doubt there was a lot of punditry around it saying she was a shoe in definitely going to win it but there was always nerves that's us and our underdog mentality and our lack of self confidence they could tell us you're definitely yes you're definitely there it is and you'd still be going they're going to take it away from me they're going to take it away from me but they won't they can't take it away from Jessie Buckley
Best Actress Oscar at the 98th Academy Awards. Yeah, and you won't tire of listening to this. So we'll play it for you one more time, from start to finish. It's just three minutes of your day. Enjoy the basking. And the Oscar goes to... Jessie Buckner!

Chapter 2: How did the Oscars change this year compared to previous years?
To the producers who created this ship for us to stand in, and my shipmates for life, Hilda, Jessica, Lindy, Zach, none of this is possible without you. My family, my Irish family, they're all here. Ireland bought them flights.
We're all here.
Can you just... Mom, Dad, thank you for teaching us to dream and to never be defined by expectation but to carve from your own passion. You... Fred, I love you, man. I love you. You're the most incredible dad. You're my best friend and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you. I do. I do.
And Isla, my little girl who is eight months, who has absolutely no idea what's going on and is probably dreaming of milk. But this is kind of a big deal. And I love you and I love being your mom and I can't wait to discover life besides you. Chloe and Maggie, you... To get to know...
This incandescent woman and journey to understand the capacity of a mother's love is the greatest collision of my life. It's Mother's Day in the UK today.
Hi, darling.
So I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart. We all come from a lineage of women who continue to create against all odds.

Chapter 3: What are the challenges of hosting the Oscars?
Thank you for recognising me in this role. This is the greatest honour. I can't even believe it. Go raibh mĆle, mĆle maith agat, slĆ”n.
Well done, Jessie Buckley. Kind of a big deal, she says to her eight-month-old daughter. Kind of a big deal. It's a huge deal. The first Irish woman to win a Best Actress Oscar. So it's a very small club there, the Oscar-winning actors in Ireland. There's Jesse Buckley now, Cillian Murphy, and Brenda Fricker.
There are other Oscars, obviously, technical Oscars, but the acting Oscars, there's three of them there. So to get the full four, we would have to now, somebody would have to win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Conan O'Brien was the host. He was very good. Looked nervous at the start, as you would, It must be the most nerve-wracking hosting job in the world, is it? Hosting the Oscars.
And he's interviewed most of the people in the room. And he's six foot five.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of YouTube potentially taking over the Oscars?
I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I think it does. And probably nearly seven foot with his hair. But he looked, yeah, he looked nervous. There was a good opening piece, you'll see it. If you haven't seen it already, where he's, has this mad makeup on and looks like something out of a horror movie. A Stephen King adaptation or something.
And he's running through the sets of all the nominations for the best picture. And But yeah, yeah. And he's fearless. Like there wasn't much mention of Trump, but the Epstein or the Epstein files got a mention.
It's the first time since 2012, first time since 2012, that there are no British actors nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress. Yeah. British spokesperson said, yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles. So we got that going for you.
Conan O'Brien. It's all going to change in the coming years. He suggests that maybe he'll be the last human host of the Oscars. YouTube take over the Oscars from 2029. And you can see why they would, because there's a lot of clipping goes on.
Chapter 5: What are the differences between real Irish accents and Hollywood portrayals?
And we thank everybody who allowed us clip because they're out there now. Everybody clips them up and plays them out on their radio shows and TV shows and podcasts and whatnot. But when YouTube have control, what will happen then? It'd be interesting to see. Anyway, the boss man from Netflix was there and Conan O'Brien had a go at him. telling him this is what a theatre looks like.
This is where people come together as a community and watch things. Yeah, slagged him that he'd never been in a theatre before. I'm sure he has. I'm sure he has. And surprisingly, there wasn't much Trump action. Not a lot of mentions. Maybe people were warned against it. Did you see that story where he has taken to buying shoes For his aides. Not just any shoes. They're Florsheim Oxfords.
Dress shoes. They're sort of... I think they're patent... They look patent leather. Shiny, shiny.
Chapter 6: What is the significance of St. Patrick's Day in Irish culture?
Shiny black shoes, yes. Oxfords. They cost about $145. And he's given them to his... The people around him. And the reason... I don't know, part of the reason that people are talking about it is that he bought a pair for Marco Rubio and they don't fit him. They're too big for him. And they're saying that people are too afraid not to wear them because it was a gift from the Great Don.
And it's all about compliance, isn't it? And power. And him being the alpha, whatever he is, alpha aegis. And he's going, I'm going to buy your shoes and you will wear them. And if you don't wear them, I'll be offended. And if I'm offended, you're in my bad books and if you're in my bad books, you're gone. Good luck. Anyway, Florsheim, a Chicago company. They've been around for a long time.
I'm wondering, is it a good thing or a bad thing for them that everyone knows now that Donald Trump is buying their shoes to give to people? And he gives them to VIP as well, not just his aides. Will MicheƔl Martin get a pair of Florsheim Oxford dress shoes?
Chapter 7: How do accents influence the perception of actors in film?
And if he does, will he wear them? There's your bowl of shamrock. Now give me my shoes and I'll be off. What size is MicheƔl Martin? What size does he wear? I know a little bit about shoes because I used to work in a drapery. And the drapery that I worked in sold Winstanley shoes. They were produced in a factory, I think somewhere in the inner city, around Dublin 8. Winstanley shoes.
And they were amazingly well-made shoes. And army officers back in the day used to wear Winstanley shoes, similar to the ones... that Donald Trump is buying for his lackeys. But they were in tan brown leather. Now, I had a pair of those. They were glorious. Them with a pair of denims and your grandfather's shirt and an old grey three-button suit jacket. There you go.
And you're off down to the disco looking your best. Anyway, so they have a closed lace setup and a toe cap. They're a nice looking shoe.
Chapter 8: What are the highlights from listener emails this week?
I don't wear shoes like that anymore, but if I was to wear shoes, I'd wear them. Winstanley aren't in business anymore. Yeah. And if your boss bought you a pair of shoes, would you feel obliged to wear them? There's the big question. Here's the thing.
I'm sort of uncomfortably Trump adjacent because I never read this normally, quiz of the week in one of the supplements, the Irish Times on a Saturday. But it's odd. There's a thing called the cocktail party effect. They study it in psychology. I'll tell you more about that in a moment. But if you scan a page and your name is on it, you completely see it. You know, it's an odd thing.
Anyway, that's the cocktail party phenomenon. Anyway, I was scanning the page and there I saw my name and it's the quiz of the week. And the first question is, one of these news stories is fake. Which one? And it goes through Ukraine is replacing battlefield troops with killer robots. Chickpeas have been successfully grown, harvested in moon dirt.
And then C, Ray Darcy has described his new daily podcast as just an excursion into something that had to be done. And then D, 20 camels have been disqualified from a camel beauty contest in Oman for receiving cosmetic enhancements. So the one that wasn't true is that quote from me. Ray Darcy has described his new daily podcast as just an excursion into something that had to be done.
Because I didn't say that at all. Donald Trump said it. And he said it about the war in Iran. He's describing it as an excursion. So initially I thought, should I be flattered that I'm in the quiz or should I be upset that they've put the words of a war mongering monster in my mouth? And I decided to go with the latter. I was upset, not hugely upset, but just, you know, F off.
Don't be doing that. So with that sort of motivation in my head, I wrote a letter to the Irish Times, a three line letter just saying, please don't do that again. And I'm serious. Thank you very much. I don't think I said thank you very much. They haven't printed it. Well, it's not in the online edition anyway. I doubt that they would print something like that, but at least I did it.
And it's good to vent. I read that book by Oliver Berkman. And one of the things he says is that oftentimes we stand in the way of ourselves, that we have a notion to do something and we procrastinate and we don't do it and then we regret it. So I had a motivation to write a letter to the Irish Times and I decided to go with it. And I did it. And even if it isn't printed, I don't care. I did it.
I vented. I see there on the same page as that, good week for CMAT. She won the Choice Music Prize. Also good week because her song about Jamie Oliver, she's done a video for it. It's the Jamie Oliver thing. You know it.
I was at the...
