Ramble With A Truck Pulling Amputee

Shane McLoughlin holds eight world records for pulling incredibly heavy vehicles, and he does it all while missing a leg. After a freak accident involving a heifer leaving him with gangrene, Shane endured 78 operations over a period of 10 years before finally telling his surgeons to just take the leg off. Instead of going easy on himself, he became a paralympian and eventually pivoted his focus to pulling trucks and other heavy vehicles like a 1000 tonne passenger Ship. Shane is currently on a mission to get amputee truck pulling recognized at the upcoming Paralympics. Joe can barely muster the energy to walk to the bathroom without losing breath, so trying to wrap his head around a man who trains by casually dragging parked lorries off the side of the road left him feeling more than a little out of his depth. Joe sits down in Shane’s home in Monaghan to discuss his unbelievable threshold for pain, his upcoming attempt to pull the actual Polar Express train in New York, and his ongoing beef with the Guinness Book of Records. It is a fascinating look at pure, stubborn defiance and what happens when you completely refuse to let anyone tell you what your limits are. Explicit.

Ramble to Lisdoonvarna: Love Sold Separately

A group of Americans have signed up for a package holiday to find love in Lisdoonvarna. Flights, a seven-course dinner and a minivan are all included. Love is not guaranteed, but it is very much implied, and the package costs over three thousand dollars per person. The group have never met each other. They arrive with hope in their hearts and a very low bar. They are following Mary Timby, an American who came to the Lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival on a whim last year, fell for a local and went viral. This year she’s organized a trip for this group of Americans to hopefully follow in her footsteps. Every September around 80,000 singles descend on this Clare town of about 1,000 people, and the group is hoping lightning will strike twice. Of course, Joe tags along to watch. Like a safari in the Savannah, Joe observes as the Americans go hunting for love. Instead they’re faced with “handsy farmers” and over-eager young men sweating it out on the Matchmaker pub dancefloor. It comes as no surprise to Joe but, it wasn’t the PS I Love You experience they might have been expecting. By the final morning they are heading home with great memories but no matches, and Joe is left wondering: Is love something that you can sell? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ramble with The Man Who Sold Angels

You've heard the Robbie William’s song “Angels” at a wedding, a funeral, or at 2am in a pub. But have you heard of the Irish-man who wrote it with Robbie Williams? His name is Ray Heffernan. In 1996, after a night on the town in Dublin, Ray bumped into Robbie Williams in The Globe pub. Robbie went back to Ray's mam's house in Glasnevin and stayed for ten days. In that time they wrote Angels there, recorded a demo in Temple Bar and became friends. Then Robbie went back to London, and when Ray followed, Robbie ghosted him. Ray signed away the song for seven and a half grand before it went on to become one of the biggest songs in the world. Thirty years later, a new European law could reopen the deal. Ray went to London to file against Robbie Williams, with a team of solicitors at his side and, for reasons we still can't fully explain, Joe waiting outside. So while Ray's case was being filed upstairs, Joe stood on a London footpath, waiting to find out whether Ray is a man who was done dirty or a man who can't let go. Explicit.
