1:34:26

Hello! This weeks episode is all about one of Ireland's all time rock stars, Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott!

Ep 180: Redemption & Refunds 39:44

4d ago39:44

39:44

We interrupt our regular broadcast (briefly) for a long overdue celebration that has left at least one of us feeling very emotional. That's before Joe returns us to normal service with a rundown on his latest series of mishaps, poor decisions and public humiliations - everything from DIY haircuts, to consternation over a restaurant bill, and memori…

S3 EP2 – The Filí 14:51

5d ago14:51

14:51

In this episode we look at the people behind the Irish mythological stories and explore how the stories we have today are a fascinating blend of Irish paganism and Christian pseudo-history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bonus: Hatless Suspects 14:24

6d ago14:24

14:24

We consider which TV ads live rent free in our heads, Joe rumbles the con of disguised Guinness trucks, and a discussion on needless specialised clothing sees Darren tap into his inner Joe as he rails against eyeglasses and knee pads for skateboarders. And Joe, the restaurateur (of sorts) passes his eye over the gimmick eatery scene, and has little…

Ep 179: Joe McGucken, Miracle Man 54:31

11d ago54:31

54:31

Well, he did it. Against all odds, and in the face of much doubt and mocking, Joe McGucken has run the Dublin Marathon without (he says) a second of training. He comes into the studio, wearing his medal and on very stiff legs, to reject all praise and tell us what he did is absolutely unimpressive. There’s also a chat about our recent live show, po…

20d ago18:20

18:20

It's a whole new season and we're doing something a little different – diving into the rich tapestry of Irish mythology. But before we jump into tales of gods and heroes, we need to set the stage. In this episode, we're exploring the uniquely Irish concept of the Sidhe looking at everything from Newgrange's Neolithic passage tombs to the arrival of…

Ep 178: Backhanded Puzzlement 30:30

25d ago30:30

30:30

As Joe struggles with the painful realities of being a homeowner, he fondly remembers the Dublin Corporation or Corpo for those in the know. As they look ahead to a night a the Irish Pod Awards (vote here), hosted in the Stella Cinema, both lads think back on other memorable times spent at the cinema when people were smoking and partaking in other …

Bonus: Pizza Flippers 17:35

27d ago17:35

17:35

One listener return us to an old area of debate - the strict technical requirements for something to be considered a sandwich. We previously debated the merits of the humble burger, but what of the pizza? We also have a warning about the dangers of undertaking a previously mooted Stall It challenge, and we witness an unfolding drama this week as Jo…

Ep 177: Chaos or Conspiracy? (Manson Part 7b) 58:18

1M ago58:18

58:18

In the final episode of our Manson series (really, this is the end), Joe goes for a space walk as we try to keep him tethered to reality, with a closing chapter of conspiracy theories, conclusions and some confirmation bias. We look at top-secret FBI and CIA programmes enacted to counter the growing number of groups opposing the establishment, incl…

Ep 176: A Secret History (Manson Part 7) 1:47:11

1M ago1:47:11

1:47:11

With our odyssey through the tale of the Manson Family nearing its end, we veer off into the world of doubts and suspicions over the official version of events, and wander into the realm of alternative theories – some bizarre, some conspiratorial, and several that case serious doubt over key parts of the original story. Following one journalist’s 2…

Bonus: Boastbusters 22:14

1M ago22:14

22:14

One listener pleads with us to please, please check Joe’s nonsense and while we try our best it only sees him double down on yet more predictions of his own glory in the face of challenges mere mortals struggle with. But this time we’re veering dangerously close to putting his claims to the test. We get an update on the first pets (that we know of)…

1M ago1:04:43

1:04:43

We hear the bizarre story a murder trial for the ages, as the Manson family and their leader put on an exhibition of farce and nonsense in the courtroom.

Ep 174: Where the Wild Things Aren't 27:56

1M ago27:56

27:56

We fall headfirst back into the realm of big claims, with the argument that there is no such thing as wild land on earth – just ask the BBC, apparently. It’s a complex conspiracy theory (we don’t need to tell you from who) that involves undercover penguins, GPS polar bears, tigers in the Wicklow Mountains, and Jim Carrey in a rhino’s arse. The dron…

Bonus: MTV Base Camp 17:25

1M ago17:25

17:25

We savour the the incomparable joy of over flavoured crisps, and consider who could be the leader in the most competitive division of the crisps world. Joe prepares, with some confidence, for a casual stroll up Mount Everest, but has a rare moment of humility as he comes up against a challenge even he must accept he just can’t do. There’s a word fr…

2M ago35:17

35:17

Joe has a lot to say about Diddy and the upcoming trial – Although his claims are seriously questioned, some say his statements are common knowledge, others suggest they’re nothing but unfounded rumours.

How many legs does a crab have? According to Darren, who doesn't include his thumbs when counting his fingers, it's 8 making the crustaceans a distant relative of a spider.
