00:00You're live on air, Tony. Welcome to the show.
00:05I was a teacher. 27 years, loyal service, so they could just throw me on the scrap heap.
00:10You lost your job because your face didn't fit. There must have been something more to
00:14it than that, Tony. Steve.
00:15I ran over him. I wanted to protect you. You did hear my name.
00:18When I'm talking to you lot on the radio, it feels like two old mates putting the world
00:25to rights over a couple of pints. Mr. Conroy?
00:28Steve Murray is dead. This is now a murder investigation.
00:31Lawrence, thank Christ. Sorry to un-know you, mate.

07:23What it's called school I
07:28Was happy the kids were happy
07:34And then suddenly it wasn't a happy place anymore
07:40And that's when I am when I
07:46Yeah
07:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it man
07:51It's tiny, isn't it? It's tiny. Yeah
07:56Do you know I get I get it no, you don't get it I do I do no you don't get it
08:06If you did you wouldn't have told me all about your happy place
08:12The boozer by the river the pines on a sunny day two best mates chewing the fat
08:20I
08:23Don't know how good that sounded how much I wanted to be a part of it
08:30And then you you
08:37The way you talk to me, yeah
08:48I'm so sorry Danny
08:51I
08:53Really am me I really am. Sorry. I
08:58Was I was bang out of order
09:02But you have to understand one thing I
09:06I was having a super super shitty day, baby
09:12You
09:14Don't mind my mind my head was all over the place it was my birthday and my friends
09:25And you know, it's only
09:29There's some other stuff going on in my life that you couldn't even possibly fathom
09:38What like
09:42I
09:47Being told you a cancer now, that would be a bad day
09:52If you ever had cancer
09:54You but you didn't did you love you?
10:00Well, how dare you
10:03I
10:07Think day
10:10You had no
10:13Fucking right, and you had no right either
10:17I
10:26Love
10:28Bring it over. I was a sorry to hear about but what happened to your ex
10:37You know, it's
10:40Honey
10:42Yeah
10:45Have you seen Tony
10:52What about you no, he needs help
11:00Yeah, oh, yeah, but I don't know what to do I
11:06Think you're probably asking the wrong man
11:09I
11:11Thought maybe do you do whatever your conscience tells you to do my conscience tells me one thing my heart another
11:21Please
11:25What should I do
11:28Sorry
11:34I'm sorry
11:38I
12:00What are you gonna do to me why did you lie about having cancer
12:09I don't know. I
12:12Mean obviously I took it too far
12:16You know, I was so convinced that it'd be bad news that I told a couple of people that I had it and then
12:20They buy up see you came back negative. I didn't think I could backtrack
12:27You know a minute you're poodling along everything's absolutely
12:33Next minute bang you got a fucking great big lump
12:39Terrified
12:45And then you gotta wait for the results
12:48and that
12:50Is a nightmare
12:53You have no idea what that's like me. You have absolutely no idea
13:01Especially what you're on your own
13:06No one to lean on
13:09No one to talk to
13:12You have loads of friends, oh, oh you mean my mates at the party and I'm not on the wall
13:24I'd love to see them feed me soup through a straw not my last one. I'm ill and vulnerable
13:32No, I mean
13:34I
13:36It's just me on my own
13:41Rattling around this big old calf not being able to sleep not being able to function
13:49That's a funny thing
13:53About me and you
13:58We've actually the same person
14:01We're loners the creatures of the night
14:15You're a liar a fake and a phony
14:24I
14:27Am a late-night radio talk show host me and I hate to say this but it goes with the territory
14:33So it's your job to lie about having cancer to trick people into believing and you went through chemo. No
14:38It's my job to tell people what they want to hear
14:43Don't people want to hear the truth
14:46They want to hear their truth I
14:51Just simply haven't find it
14:56I
14:59Promised myself that I'd never put me trust in anyone ever again
15:04After what happened
15:07I'd resign myself to me fate being lost on me own, but then you came along and
15:14You gave me hope
15:21Okay, that's a good thing, right
15:27Not if it's all you've got
15:31Because when it's not there anymore you've got nothing left
15:39It's always so
15:44Not always
15:47Not after what I've done
15:49What do you mean after what you've done?
15:52Stephen Murray

16:37Can I just ask you can I just ask you what why he did that
16:44It my job to protect to nurture
