In this weeks episode Kevin tells Jason the story of Elizabeth Sugrue aka Lady Betty aka the woman from hell. Oscar Wilde's father recorded the story in his book "Ireland: Her wit, Peculiarities and Popular Superstitions" after asking the people of Roscommon about the infamous executioner who lived in their town Gaol. Also some shite talk about Brendan Behan and Jason's relationship with his mother.
