Ep 150: Gloomsday
Joe has been on an odyssey, travelling across Dublin in a day filled with ever more bizarre, curious and excruciating people, places and situations.
His day of adventure brought him from underwhelming escape rooms to midday strip clubs, and left him wondering what lay behind Dublin's closed doors.
He spent some time in the company a gang of urinal destroyers, more time being harassed by a flock of hyper-irritating TikTok clowns, and (strangest of all) being ambushed while kayaking down the Liffey, by a man who was definitely not a fan.
Meanwhile, Darren has been the victim of a drive-by-shouting.
The Dublin portal gets picked apart, as does the sub-genre of Hollywood superstar vanity projects.
And there’s plans afoot for a stage version of Joe’s food truck story, Spice Bag: The Musical. -
Bonus: The Stair Master
Darren predicted the people would never turn on him – this week we learn he was sorely mistaken.
Joe has identified the talent that separates him from the rest of us, and he’s really going for it.
Your questions lead us to contemplate what might await us living a life as Crash bandicoot, and we weigh up the best of the local animals. -
Ep 149: A Death Star is Born
Darren catches Joe hitting the sun beds, and we discover this is a part of a whole new approach to Joe's grooming.
We hear about the potential for circuses in the Gaeltacht, and that leads us down a rabbit hole trying to understand the widespread fear of clowns, and a sinister viral trend that made clowns so hated they had to retire Ronald McDonald.
Some questions about the ocean lead us to a difference of opinion over some big claims about disappeared civilisations, and we end up hearing about zombie viruses rising from the thawing soil in deepest Siberia.
And we, at last, decide to figure out if a real-life Death Star could be constructed. -
Bonus: Animal House
We’re weighing up the very best category of pint, and hearing tips from listeners on the various body parts of Christian saints scattered across the land.
A lifetime of kissing absolutely everyone gets little love, while life spent inside a horror film as a duo attempting to outrun the killer holds a certain appeal.
A question about life in a barn full of animals, or your home full of farmyard animals, sparks a surprisingly in depth discussion on the pros and cons of all variables. -
Ep 148: The Fetes Galantes Lads
We resume normal business with several issues to iron out. Joe has been making more big claims that need to be contested, but somehow Darren has managed to upset Eoin to the point Joe is now off the hook.
As Joe’s food truck empire grows at a staggering rate Darren reveals he’s been holding out on sharing a secret family recipe for curry sauce.
We weigh up the pros and cons of joint weddings, from sharing fireworks to who has to sit in the front seat in the wedding car.
Darren has started a new habit of walking that’s entertaining nobody, while Joe has finally found a source of cringe that’s too much even for him – in the surprisingly complex world of hardcore cosplay from 19th century France. -
Bonus: Everybody Loves Ray
Joe's stomach is rumbling again and it's becoming a bone of contention in the studio, There's also a lot of fish talk - probably too much - as we return to your queries.
One listener has been trawling through the archives and spotted a serious inconsistency in one of Joe's stories, while another has the lads giving fairly predictable answers to which is their favourite planet.
A listener has a suggestion for a charity event that will put Joe's latest big talk to the test, very publicly. And we weigh up some eternal states of mild discomfort.
