No doubt they did have the hospital bag ready, but it’s not dramatic to say ‘we picked up the bag and off we went’.
Aoife seems to love the attention, reposting his vagina comment. I would kill him, but I suppose she needs a place to live.

I genuinely think she’s all in for this “celebrity “ lifestyle and will happily live there for the rest of her life. They are all a family now whether they like it or not. And she gets to be in photo shoots, on Tv, talked about on TV, radio etc. She’s a mini celebrity and she has a roof over her head. 🤷‍♀️

God he's really going heavy handed on the "my child", "she takes after me".

It'd be sweet if he meant it but it comes across as someone trying to over compensate for something.

I think he needs counselling to come to terms with not just finding out he was infertile but getting that news at the same time as learning his husband was super fertile and the only one therefore that was ever going to father any kids from their marriage.

Plenty of men are amazing dad's to kids they didn't father but there's an element of protesting too much with Brian that's beginning to sound like trauma

I actually believe Brian is permanently traumatised at the moment. He doesn’t look well, he’s pale and he didn’t want to move house and he didn’t want more kids I think. He’s not a natural with kids and he likes a good life, likes to party etc. These babies are cramping his style and he may even have some resentment that Arthur got to father two kids and he none. I also wonder if he will continue to be able to sustain being the only breadwinner.

I don't think Brian and Arthur will last

Omg. I have been saying the same. !! Totally agree. Just have different goals in life. Arthur totally wants the family. Brian just wants a good time.

I don’t think so. I know at the moment B has no rights to either. He can apply for Guardianship for Blake in a few months & then for Blu in 2 years but I’m not 100% sure how much security that gives him if they ever went their separate ways.

Does Aoife still remain the mother if Brian gets guardianship? 🤔

Absolutely. I said similar upthread, she likes the 'fame' such as it is.

I didn't listen to what Brian had to say but I read about it here. C'mon like... Nobody needs chapter and verse about where she had pains and all the rest of it. But that's the fake lifestyle they have all opted into, living their lives on the 'gram.

And I genuinely can't think of any woman on podcasts etc laughing about and minimising pregnancy and birth! (I'm sure there's lots of informative pregnancy podcasts etc..). Brian and Arthur don't know they're born!!

I suppose Brian will always have a job in TV somewhere, a bit like that dose Alan Hughes who has been around yrs for no reason but Arthur?

Suggested jobs for Arthur:

- Armologist dancer - arms only
- Greasy food taste tester
- Professional heckler
- How not to wear one’s hair “model”
- Professional sperm donar 🤣

I’m sorry I have nothing else. This poor fecker is unemployable. They both haven’t got a pot to piss in and pretend to have this “celebrity” A list lifestyle but they would sell their souls for a free treatment or a dinner. 🙄

The bubble will burst eventually re the interest in them and their drama/ sorry lives. I don’t think they have thought about the future, bdg and arfur are not going to be an option for to and radio gigs in a couple of years time

I think in some ways, it already has tbh.
There was some interest first time around but most people have lost interest or just think, there you go again. Baby no 2, okay. Grand, whatever.

It seems strange with rent to pay, and so on that BrIan is taking so much time off, from both jobs. It's not like as if he is down the mines, or even doing a full day's work anywhere, and would only return when the kids were asleep or something. Even allowing for a commute, he doesn't have long days to put in. I'd have thought as well that it's better in a fickle industry to keep yourself employed, or you could be forgotten and replaced quite easily.

This 🙌🙌🙌🙌
He is full of his own self importance that he’ll be welcomed back with open arms, both programs having almost collapsed without him. But I bet the two that have taken over from him are doing better jobs and are more likeable (and use their own accents).
I bet Orthur probably got something like €5000 each for the Boots gig and the Cul Camps gig. Outrageous I know but he definitely got paid well and that will cover the rent while Brian is off fathering for two months.
Now I know the rent on that place was listed as €5000 but I don’t believe they are paying that. I don’t believe anyone would pay that for that house which is not luxurious looking at all. I’d say they got it for closer to €3500 because no one was taking it and also they took it unfurnished maybe. I dunno I just don’t think they’re paying 5k.
They also have this Barberstown best dressed races shite which is being heavily advertised with the stoopid photoshoots etc so they are both picking up several thousand for that.
Orthur (and Brian probably) also expenses his coffees and lunches which he classes as work meetings.
They make it work, but they’ll never ever be in the Pipsy leagues. That they can only dream of.
 
I also can’t get over Brian taking the summer off - neither of them have secure jobs, they’re renting and have two babies.
If they’re expecting freebies and the odd collab to support the four of them till the kids have grown up they’re in for a shock. The radio and TV work they have at the moment is not a given - everyone knows how precarious that world is.
I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night let alone decide to take time off.
