**The Alison Spittle Show – Episode 59 – Mattie Murphy and Michael O’Sullivan** In Episode 59 – the last ever podcast recorded at Alison’s Smithfield mansion – Alison talks to two men she met in the supermarket who have a film-script-worthy story. Mattie and Michael worked together at Eircom for 30 years. Last year, they got married. But it’s not all quite what it seems. In 2017, Mattie was diagnosed with joint-cell arthritis and suffered partial blindness. At the same time, Michael lost his apartment and didn’t have a place to stay. Mattie asked Michael to move in with him to help care for him, 'killing two birds with one stone', as it were. He decided to leave Michael his house when he dies as a way of paying him back. It was all going fine until Mattie told Joe Duffy their plan to get married as a way of avoiding inheritance tax. Alison Spittle does stand-up comedy all the time because there’s no money in it.
