0:00:15 > 0:00:18It's great that it's been such a good year for Ireland,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20particularly in the Republic,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23that we were able to pass the marriage equality referendum.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:28One of the first countries...the only country, I think, in the world
0:00:28 > 0:00:29who had to do it by popular vote.
0:00:29 > 0:00:34And where I'm from, which is quite a rough area from a council estate,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37you know, I mean, my dad's always saying,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41"I thought growing up with the lads around here would've hardened you!"
0:00:47 > 0:00:51It's the kind of place where Father's Day is a very mysterious day.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Kids go door-to-door. It's like Halloween.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The newsagents sell cards for Father's Day
0:00:59 > 0:01:00that say, "To whom it concerns..."
0:01:02 > 0:01:05It was a really great, joyous surprise to find that
0:01:05 > 0:01:09a lot of the areas or the estates in my area voted yes
0:01:09 > 0:01:12in the highest numbers around the country.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Fettercairn, huge yes, Jobstown, huge yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It was basically just women in my area going,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21"Gays deserve to be single parents as well!"
0:01:22 > 0:01:24A load of lads I went to school with going,
0:01:24 > 0:01:29"I didn't have one dad growin' up, so two would've been bleedin' deadly!"
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And what I thought about was, it was a very confusing time as a vote
0:01:33 > 0:01:36because we had to pursue in the media this balance thing,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and I do a bit of radio and things, and everyone had to be balanced,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42so that the vote wasn't swayed.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Balance, oh, yeah. Yes side, no side. For a while there in Ireland,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49if you were, you know, having the throes of passion in your bedroom
0:01:49 > 0:01:54with your wife, as you should do, and she was screaming, "Yes, yes, yes",
0:01:54 > 0:01:57legally Breda O'Brien could pop in and say, "No."
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Here at Broux Bros, we've realised that the hipster businesses
0:02:05 > 0:02:08that do well are the businesses that do things a little bit differently.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We basically realised that Mexican food is so hot right now
0:02:11 > 0:02:13both literally and literally,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16so with that in mind, we've opened a new outlet named Brorritos.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Mexican food is popular but what is also popular is...
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Sweeties!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We've added sweets to our burritos. Brorritos.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Some of the meals that we offer would include the Skittle burrito.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Bombay mix.- Bombay mix burrito.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36We have a flump taco.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- We have...- Just your standard nut. - Standard nut burrito.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41We've actually had some customers complain about
0:02:41 > 0:02:44the price of the brorritos, but some of the sweets
0:02:44 > 0:02:48have been imported from places as far away as, like, Dublin.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Ireland.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And just for that extra exclusiveness,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53we only take orders via fax machine.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- That's true.- How many have you sold?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Currently, we've sold... - BEEPING
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Go back there. - Somewhere in the region...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02We've sold one.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04But that was basically just to make sure that the till worked,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07which it does, which is great news for business.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Thank you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Ha!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13HE COUGHS
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- HIGH-PITCHED: - Sometimes they actually say
0:03:21 > 0:03:23music is what emotions sound like.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24What emotion are you feeling?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28If I had to say, I would say hunger.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Howdy. Come on in. We're just having a bit of a studio day today.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- What are you doing? - Soundproofing the walls.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38He's soundproofing the walls there.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Go you and test.- All right. - Wait till you hear. Nothing.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Hello!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Nothing?- Nothing. Not a thing. - Didn't hear anything?- Not a thing.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49The thing is with country music, it's not that difficult to write
0:03:49 > 0:03:52cos there's only a very limited amount of themes
0:03:52 > 0:03:53that they actually sing about.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Look over at the Manboy. He's got them out on that board.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Trucks, jeans, girls, moonshine
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- and wagon wheels.- And that's it. - That's it.- That's it essentially.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Sing something now, sure. Show how easy it is.- Let me see...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08# I'm jumpin' in my truck cos I'm wearin' my jeans
0:04:08 > 0:04:12# I like girls, drinkin' moonshine, wagon wheels. #
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Perfect. That's a number one. - That's it. 60 million records sold.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Take that, Taylor Swift.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19What do you call that wee girl?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Nathan Carter.- Oh, woeful.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Tell you what, if you gave an infinite amount of monkeys
0:04:24 > 0:04:25an infinite amount of guitars,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28they'd write a Nathan Carter song after about 15 minutes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- And it would still be a cover. - It probably would.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32He couldn't write a song, that boy.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He couldn't write his own name half the time.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36And in addition to all of them there, all you maybe need to do
0:04:36 > 0:04:39is add in a place in America that you've been before.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40You could say something like...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44# Took a road trip round Massachusetts... #
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Perfect.- That's true. You could just lie.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49# I kissed a girl in Alabama That's not a euphemism. #
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Never been to Alabama before.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I haven't. It's all a lie. You know?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56# I had a pile of beer in Texas. #
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Never been anywhere near Texas.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- The state or Texas Homecare?- Both.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I was in it before it closed, so joke's on you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08So at the end of every recording day
0:05:08 > 0:05:11usually the Manboy takes himself off there
0:05:11 > 0:05:13to write some lyrics or whatever. Are you finished?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17# I'm sick to death of my girlfriend's crap
0:05:17 > 0:05:20# But my bag in the trunk with my friends in the back
0:05:20 > 0:05:23# I try to close my ears when they call us bent
0:05:23 > 0:05:27# I'm gonna spend the night with the boys in the tent
0:05:27 > 0:05:29# Boys in the tent, boys in the tent
0:05:29 > 0:05:32# I'm gonna drink moonshine with boys that I rent
0:05:32 > 0:05:35# Boys in the tent, boys in the tent
0:05:35 > 0:05:38# Gonna drink moonshine with boys that I rent. #
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Brilliant.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Sort of.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You looked so surprised when I invited you in.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I mean, a lot of people slam the door in your face and all
0:05:53 > 0:05:56with you guys being Jehovah's Witnesses,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but my mother taught me that I should always be pleasant, courteous
0:05:59 > 0:06:03and kind to everyone, irrespective of their religion or beliefs.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Also, before we start, can I just check,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10it's OK if I'm gay, isn't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14As long as I never actually have sex or watch the Graham Norton Show?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18This song, I hope yous enjoy it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's called 50 Shades Of David Gray.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER
0:06:38 > 0:06:42# It's kind of rapey but it's good to read
0:06:44 > 0:06:48# So little darling, get it on
0:06:51 > 0:06:55# Got a bucket full of pleasure beads
0:06:58 > 0:07:02# Got a dungeon full of Babylons
0:07:04 > 0:07:08# Cos there ain't no love guiding me
0:07:08 > 0:07:10# Just a ball-gag and I can't speak
0:07:12 > 0:07:15MUFFLED: # Uh-uh-uh o-o-o-oh
0:07:18 > 0:07:21# This year's safety word, it better last
0:07:24 > 0:07:28# Cos last year when you forgot
0:07:31 > 0:07:34# You spanked the hinges right out of my neck
0:07:37 > 0:07:41# And now this head wobble just won't stop
0:07:44 > 0:07:47# Cos I want all my cake and eat it too
0:07:47 > 0:07:51# Won't you lie down, let me creep on you
0:07:51 > 0:07:55MUFFLED: # Uh-uh o-o-oh

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Here, have you heard about this uniform thing?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Aye. I marched straight in, straight into head office
0:08:40 > 0:08:47and said, "Here, I've been working in the taxis for 35 years, all right?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49"And I haven't been wearing a uniform
0:08:49 > 0:08:52"and God as my witness, I'm not going to start now."
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- RADIO:- 'Our next wee request for Big Derek the taxi driver...'
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Oh, come on! - 'He wants this wee number.'
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Big Derek!- 'Very funny, Derek.'
0:09:02 > 0:09:04That's the fourth time!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Hello! Yes, I'd like to make a complaint, please.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13Right. I phoned in this morning, half past seven, requesting a wee tune.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Now, Big Derek from City Cabs has had his request played
0:09:17 > 0:09:21four or five times. And by the way...
0:09:21 > 0:09:25a taxi driver requesting 2-4-6-8 Motorway,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27it might be funny the first time but, you know, five or six times
0:09:27 > 0:09:31it gets a wee bit out of date, you know? My name is Davy Brown.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36I'm a taxi driver and I would like Baby You Can Drive My Car.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37OK? Thank you.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41'Davy, thanks again, mate, for giving my da a lift.'
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Ach, shush, mate. It's no bother.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- 'One thing I will say, Davy, is...' - No bother at all.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48'..one of the side-effects of the tablet he's on for his eyes...'
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- That's ridiculous. - '..is incontinence, actually.'
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- What?- 'He's done that a few times on me in the car.' - What did you say, mate? What?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It doesn't matter. There he is.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00There he is, the man himself. The man himself.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'll have him with you shortly.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Just going to start the car.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06OK, that's the engine, it's not an air raid siren,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09you don't have to panic or anything, all right?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Here, mate, how's your eyes? How's your eyesight?- Not good at all.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Not good? So you can't really see?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Can I ask you a wee question?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Did you shite yourself?
0:10:42 > 0:10:48- 'Davy Brown, taxi driver...'- About time!- 'You want this wee number.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50'Happy to play it for you, sir.'
0:10:50 > 0:10:53MUSIC: 2-4-6-8 Motorway by Tom Robinson Band
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Ach, come on!
0:10:55 > 0:10:56That's...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Ach, for fu...
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, I went through a period of depression.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04I know it's hard to believe.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06LAUGHTER
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I was very, very sad for a long time and to bring myself out of it,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I decided I'm going to have to start writing some happy songs
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and I decided I would take inspiration from the people
0:11:15 > 0:11:17who pulled me out of that dark, dark place,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and those were the very close female friends I had.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'd go to them and say, you know,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25"It's just dark and what am I going to do?"
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And they'd be like, "I know, let me tell you how great my life is
0:11:28 > 0:11:32"and that'll cheer you up." So I'd be like, "Great! Thank you very much."
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So that song, yeah, that's what inspired this song,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40so it is a happy song cos I thought it's always good to end on a high,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41so this is my happy song.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51# I'm delighted that things worked out for you
0:11:51 > 0:11:55# You've really had some luck
0:11:55 > 0:11:58# But just lately I'm really struggling
0:11:58 > 0:12:04# To keep smiling like I give a fuck
0:12:04 > 0:12:07# I'm thrilled that you had babies
0:12:07 > 0:12:10# And did it all without help from a nanny
0:12:10 > 0:12:14# But I'm warning you now I'm going to need stronger drugs
0:12:14 > 0:12:16# To hear again what it's done to your fanny
0:12:16 > 0:12:20# Oh, well done, you, you did it
0:12:20 > 0:12:23# And no-one can take that from you
0:12:23 > 0:12:29# Oh, I'm delighted, I'm delighted for you
0:12:29 > 0:12:33# Oh, you lost 23 pounds with no diet
0:12:33 > 0:12:35# You don't have to straighten your hair
0:12:35 > 0:12:39# Your Victoria sponge has won some awards
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# I've tried it, it's lighter than air!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45# Oh, everyone thinks that you're funny
0:12:45 > 0:12:49# You can light up the room with those boobs
0:12:49 > 0:12:54# SNARLS: Oh, I'm delighted, I'm delighted for you
0:12:54 > 0:13:01# Oh, so I've heard you've been nominated for Woman Of The Year!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05# Oh, I'm thrilled for you, you'll probably win
0:13:05 > 0:13:08# SOBS: No, these are happy tears
0:13:08 > 0:13:12# I'm back living at home with my parents
0:13:12 > 0:13:16# Drinking gin, passing out on the loo
0:13:16 > 0:13:21# But I'm delighted, I'm delighted
0:13:21 > 0:13:23# For you. #
