Please help me understanding Irish accent

I got a funny mp3 file on e-mail in which an Irish girl is... Nah, I don't want to spoil the surprise. You can listen to it if you click here and go to "LINKS: Becky from Dublin - MP3 Audio" in the middle of the page. I have two questions, actually. the first: at 2min 03sec Becky says something and the man on the other end of the line bursts into laughter. I didn't understand what she said. And the second question: do you think it's real?

It sounds to me like she's saying "Give me a ballpark finger" and then she corrects herself to "figure" that's why he's laughing so hard.

It seems to me like a prank radio show..After all who doesn't want to demolish his/hers own school?

Right... I didn't know the expression "ballpark figure". It makes more sense now. But I still don't think that "ballpark finger" that funny Foot in mouth

And yeah, I've heard it again it it does sound like a prank. But I think they did a very good job.

Thank you both!
