welcome to the pay attention podcaaaaast!! hosted by bex (@bexblah) and niv (@nivbyrne), two irish girls in their 30s yapping, giggling + realising things on a mic every monday. do they have different opinions? always. will they agree on dating advice? debatable. from pop culture to life advice and everything in between. literally. whether it's talking about the quantum field, marketing, confidence building, astrology talk, tactics for playing the sims… no topic is safe from the girlies discussing and dissecting it. will they always make sense? maybe not. but will they make you laugh? 100%

    girls we are BACK and better than ever after a little hiatus (blame the universe, blame mercury retrograde, blame a vomiting bug that had niv nearly hospitalised… anyway)!!! this week we are fully embracing aries season energy, talking about why now is the best time to start something new, bex's roman era, the italian way of life vs the american hustle culture, our thoughts on the love story documentary and why carolyn bessette kennedy deserved so much better, jfk jr dating sarah jessica parker and big being based on them (we did NOT know this), the manosphere documentary and its many problems, secret lives of mormon wives discourse, cancel culture double standards AND bex watched interstellar for the first time last night and has since applied it to her nails popping off as a message from future intelligence and we simply cannot argue with her logic 🪐✨ time isn't linear girlies!! we love you so much thanks for always coming back to us 💕 new here? follow us wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a monday 🎙️ and come hang with us on instagram 👇 📩 business & sponsorship enquiries: heypayattentionpod@gmail.com 🎙️ instagram: @payattention.pod ❤️‍🔥 bex: @bexblah 💘 niv: @nivbyrne

    what do bree van de kamp, maura higgins and a birkin all have in common?

    girls we are BACK and we have a lot to get into 🎙️ this week: bex finally has fibre broadband after a year-long saga (it took a woman engineer to get it done in one morning after 12 months of men telling her conflicting things... say less!!!), her long nails are back, and niv is seeing dave live, is heading to alicante and has many thoughts about it. then we get into the good stuff, a full desperate housewives breakdown courtesy of bex's recent rewatch (tom scavo is actually the worst husband on the whole show and we will not be taking questions), why nobody wants to be susan mayer, why lynette gave up everything for a man who didn't even know how she liked her pizza, and which housewife we'd actually be 👀 then niv convinces bee to watch the love story documentary on disney plus because carolyn bessette kennedy's style alone is reason enough, and then we get into maura higgins absolutely breaking america on us traitors, what her next moves are, the birkin situation, and why the best women are always from kerry 🎀 we love you so much 💕 new here? follow us wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a monday 🎙️ and come hang with us on instagram 👇 📩 business & sponsorship enquiries: heypayattentionpod@gmail.com 🎙️ instagram: @payattention.pod ❤️‍🔥 bex: @bexblah 💘 niv: @nivbyrne

    Why are we afraid of being perceived?

    Hi lovelies! 💌 This week, Niv is flying solo for a deep-dive episode packed with pop culture, nostalgia, and a little existential pondering. From binge-worthy TV like Tell Me Lies, 56 Days, Love Story, America’s Next Top Model, and Britain’s Next Top Model, to cinematic classics like Wuthering Heights and Charli XCX’s The Moment, nothing is off the table. She’s also unpacking the age-old question: why are we so afraid of being perceived? Along the way, she’s reminiscing about our makeup masterclass days and sharing the books and shows she can’t wait to get into next. It’s thoughtful, a little chaotic (in the best way), and very Niv. Hope you enjoy!! 💋

    bring back the tack

    girls we are back!!! sorry for the little break — niv had 10 days of migraines so severe her doctor was considering sending her to hospital, but she survived and she got her pink ipad so we move 🩷 this week: niv finally dissolved her lip filler and bex is obsessed with her teeth, why the clean girl aesthetic has run its course and how can we bring back the tack (smudgy liner, name tattoos, untoned bleached hair, we are READY), why things that AI can't replicate are trending and what that means, kim kardashian's messy hair at the skims nike event, kim and lewis hamilton and why we simply cannot picture it, the winter olympics and a skier who decided to confess to cheating on live TV after winning (men!!!!!), why nobody talks about the luteal phase being worse than your actual period, why we don't talk about christina aguilera enough as a society, our saturn return being officially over on february 13th and what that means for you depending on your sign, bex's valentine's story involving flowers and her home address that had us all like ???, niv is going to galway for valentine's day 🥹 pancake tuesday vs chinese new year, can you celebrate both? and what are we giving up for lent 👀 we love you so much 💕 new here? follow us wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a monday 🎙️ and come hang with us on instagram 👇 📩 business & sponsorship enquiries: heypayattentionpod@gmail.com 🎙️ instagram: @payattention.pod ❤️‍🔥 bex: @bexblah 💘 niv: @nivbyrne

    brigid wasn't a saint, long bobs & all-girls catholic school

    girls we are BACK and niv finally has wi-fi again 🎉 after 4 and a half weeks of hotspotting, 50 phone calls to vodafone and a formal complaint, it turns out it was a wrong serial number on a box the whole time!!! this week: it's saint brigid's day and niv has done the research, turns out brigid wasn't really a saint, she was a pagan goddess of spring, fire, poetry and healing who allegedly helped a nun access bodily autonomy, and the catholic church basically just adopted her 👀 niv and bex grew up on the same street in kerry, what would their lives have looked like if niv never moved??? the all-girls catholic school vs coed debate, why bex's year at presentation was actually immaculate, and little niv making and selling handmade magazines to her classmates for two euro (with a gift taped to the front, obviously) 🎀 the long bob conversation we all needed: never go straight for the bob, always start with the long bob, and nine times out of ten that celebrity bob is a wig!!! niv is cutting her hair ahead of her 30th and we weigh in, why hair holds energy and what you're really letting go of when you cut it, the floods in ireland and the river that literally runs underneath their hometown. we love you so much 💕 new here? follow us wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a monday 🎙️ and come hang with us on instagram 👇 📩 business & sponsorship enquiries: heypayattentionpod@gmail.com 🎙️ instagram: @payattention.pod ❤️‍🔥 bex: @bexblah 💘 niv: @nivbyrne

WHY ARE WE ALL SO CONNECTED TO 2016? what did niv learn from watching tell me lies? is bex safe in the uk? will we watch the new season of euphoria? what did niv think of marty supreme? when will men with podcasts just stop talking? does Steven Bartlett (jumpscare) know what he’s doing? can’t women just live!!!! do we need to take life less seriously? is ai so out for 2026? and also, most importantly, why are irish people, specifically from kerry, SO DAMN TALENTED? these are all the questions (and more) that we are asking ourselves and having conflicting opinions over and we wanna know your thoughts so comment them below if you wanna share with the class xoxo love ya
