This week on I Said What I Said, Shane McCarthy is joined by father and daughter TikTok creators Kathlin and Terry Maughan for one of the most honest conversations yet.

They open up about the hate they received after going viral online and reveal that a lot of it actually came from within their own community. Shane also speaks candidly about how bad his anxiety became at one point, admitting there were certain places he avoided going because of the judgement and abuse he was getting online.

Terry shares his own experience with depression and the moment he realised he needed help, while the group have a powerful conversation about mental health within the Traveller community and why so many young Traveller men are struggling in silence. They also speak about the fear of being labelled “soft” for showing emotion and why that mindset needs to change.

There are lighter moments too, including the hilarious story behind the first video that sent Kathlin and Terry massively viral. Terry also shares a touching moment about raising his daughter, explaining that while traditions exist, he wants her to live life her own way and make her own choices.

Funny, emotional, honest, and eye opening all at once

This week on I Said What I Said, we’re taking it back.

Shane McCarthy revisits some of the most memorable moments from the podcast so far. The laughs, the chaos, the honest chats, and the conversations that actually meant something. From funny stories that had the studio in bits to real moments that hit a nerve, it’s all here in one episode.

If you’ve been listening from the start, this is a reminder of why you stayed. If you’re new, this is the perfect place to jump in.

Shane McCarthy is back with another episode of I Said What I Said and this one takes a more personal turn than expected. After taking on the 5K with Chris, Shane opens up about the full experience, from the nerves beforehand to crossing the finish line. He shares how it actually felt in the moment, what pushed him through it, and the unexpected realizations that came with it. What started as a physical challenge quickly turned into something a lot deeper.

Shane also brings listeners behind the scenes of the run itself, sharing the conversations he had with Chris along the way. From the advice Chris gave him to the honest chats that never made it onto social media, this is the side of the journey people didn’t get to see.

The conversation takes a sharp turn. Out of nowhere, he starts firing the most random questions at Katie, and let’s just say… it does not go the way he expects. One particular question leaves Shane completely caught off guard, red faced, and instantly regretting ever asking it.
