Rosie O'Donnell, Broken teeth and that time I met Leo Varadkar

May 13, 2025

'Am I Catholic now?'

I chat about my gig with Rosie O'Donnell, why my mother never let me learn an instrument for fear of the dental bills and how am I slowly being sucked back into the Catholic Church, as I discuss the self-hatred that propelled me to pick Mary as a confirmation name.

I also recount my disastrous encounter with Leo Varadkar in the wild circa 2011 in what is sure to be a front page story because we are keeping it current.
