    From Howth Seagulls to Sephora Kids

    This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Donal is fresh off filming his new TV show and ready to unpack a bizarre story he can’t stop thinking about… a seagull screeching competition. As a Howth native, he has plenty to say about the increasingly bold (and slightly terrifying) local seagulls, while Arthur compares it to his completely different upbringing in Armenia. The conversation takes a turn into the world of skincare, as Arthur welcomes new warnings aimed at parents buying products for young kids. As a dad of two girls, he’s passionate about protecting young skin and knowing exactly what’s in your routine. Donal admits he loves skincare too… but still feels awkward shopping for makeup. Arthur isn’t having it. Times have changed, and men wearing makeup is nothing to be embarrassed about. Plus, they dive into the Met Gala, sharing their favourite looks and imagining what they’d wear if they ever scored an invite. 👉 From chaotic seagulls to skincare trends and red carpet dreams: this episode has it all!

    Dublin Landmark Shake-Up & Air Travel Chaos: Why Staycations Are Rising

    This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur & Donal Podcast… Arthur’s entered his farmer era, and Donal has questions. From photoshoots in fields to getting way too up close with cows (yes, including a surprise cow-tongue “massage”), things take a bizarre turn as they dive into what we actually eat from a cow… and Donal confirms: pretty much everything 👀 But what starts as farm chat quickly spirals into something bigger. If you won the lotto, where would you go? Easy: holiday! Except… with the fuel crisis disrupting air travel, is that even realistic anymore? They break down what’s happening with flights right now and why more people are ditching trips abroad for staycations in Ireland. Plus, their top spots to visit around the country. Then, a more serious note. The lads react to the news that the iconic St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is set for a major revamp, and people are not happy. Donal shares childhood memories tied to the Dublin landmark, while Arthur reflects on experiencing it for the first time after moving to Ireland. Is this the end of an era? 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. What do you think about the changes, and are staycations the new normal? Hosted on Acast.

    23 APR

    Hobbies Are Back, Pets Are Everything, and Madonna Isn’t Done Yet

    This week’s episode kicks off straight after a chaotic family get-together, where Arthur and Donal share the hilarious reality of decorating cakes with a 6-year-old and a 3½-year-old, and stumbling across Highland cows on a Sunday walk. Expect plenty of laughs and relatable parenting moments! The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Arthur reminisces about Armenian sewing while Donal dives into his love of Irish patchwork. It sparks a bigger discussion about the surprising revival of hobbies and why Gen Z is rediscovering crafts, creativity, and slow living after years of doomscrolling on social media. Listeners have also been asking about Donal’s beloved dog Max after a string of frightening health scares, including one moment where Donal almost ran him over with the car (yes, really… you’ll have to listen to understand!) Donal shares how Max is doing now and explains why pets can be so powerful for children’s development, even encouraging Arthur to consider getting a family pet. And of course, they couldn’t ignore the biggest pop culture moment of the week: Madonna’s comeback. From her appearance at Coachella to the excitement around her return to the stage, Arthur and Donal dive into the thrill of festival season and what Madonna’s comeback means for pop culture.  If you love pop culture, parenting stories, pets, hobbies, and honest chats about modern life, this episode feels like sitting down with friends to catch up on the latest news and gossip. 👉 Listen now, follow the podcast, and watch the full episode on YouTube so you never miss a moment!

  4. Chaos, Kids & Michael Jackson

    16 APR

    Chaos, Kids & Michael Jackson

    This week on the podcast, Arthur and Donal are back with one of their most unhinged chats yet. Arthur kicks things off by sharing a truly questionable salon discovery involving an extremely unconventional “facial” treatment proof, if ever it were needed, that not everything needs to be a beauty trend. From there, the conversation jumps straight into real life: parenting chaos, juggling protests, and how both Arthur and Donal somehow managed to criss‑cross the country last weekend and live to tell the tale. There’s also a surprisingly passionate (and mildly panicked) discussion about trampolines, why they’re far more dangerous than anyone admits, and how every parent seems to learn this the hard way. The big topic this week, though, is Michael Jackson. With the new biopic on the way, the lads revisit the King of Pop’s legacy including Arthur’s near‑brush with pop history, revealing he was once in line to be a backup dancer for Michael, just before the news of his passing was announced. It’s funny, chaotic, heartfelt, and exactly the kind of conversation that somehow only makes sense when Arthur and Donal are together. 👉 Listen now, follow the podcast, and share with a friend who loves a good laugh.

    Yoga Retreat Confessions, Getting Pulled Over by the Gardaí & The Moon Landing Debate

    This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Donal has just returned from a yoga retreat, and he’s bursting to tell Arthur everything. What started as simple journaling prompts quickly turned into surprisingly emotional conversations that nearly brought Donal to tears. Arthur, however, remains very unconvinced about the whole experience… for now 🧘‍♂️ Arthur shares stories from his Easter celebrations, including the questionable decision to invite a man in a bunny costume to the party. And if that wasn’t chaotic enough, he also reveals how he recently got pulled over by the Gardaí… and let’s just say he wasn’t impressed! 🚓 The lads also chat about the upcoming Ideal Homes Exhibition, Donal’s plans to film in Italy, his hopes of getting back into pottery, and somehow end up deep in a hilarious debate about outer space and the moon landing 🌙 Expect plenty of funny stories, current topics, and the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the table with them. 👉 Listen now, follow the podcast, and share with a friend who loves a good laugh.

    26 MAR

    Toxic Takes, Tattoos & Tantalizing Food

    This week, Arthur and Donal dive head‑first into the wild world of the manosphere the toxic online universe explored in Louis Theroux’s latest documentary. Between them they’ve got two boys and two girls, so the conversation hits home and its from the heart: from dodgy “alpha” influencers to the impact on young lads today, it’s a deep chat like never before… with plenty of eye‑rolls, laughs too, and a few “you’ll never believe this” moments. Naturally, it doesn’t take long for things to take a lighter turn straight into a love letter to Armenian food. Arthur shares why the flavour, the family traditions, and the stories behind each dish mean so much to him. Donal, meanwhile, is mostly concerned with how much of it he can fit on one plate. And then… the tattoo. Arthur reveals his brand‑new MASSIVE tattoo big, bold, colourful and just a little bit 'Arty'. Donal has many thoughts (most of them loud). We get the full story behind the ink, from the inspiration to the moment of “Oh my God, that’s huge.” Things get even more chaotic from there with poems, nostalgia trips, and a surprise mention of Afroman yes, that Afroman from the 90s/00s as the lads break into stories, memories, and questionable harmonies. It’s a jam‑packed, hilarious episode, full of heart, chaos, and your two favourite guys doing what they do best. Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share the podcast so you never miss an episode!

    This week, it’s been a hectic one as Arthur shares all the behind-the-scenes gossip from the final of Dancing with the Stars, including what really happened on the night and the big winner of DWTS 2026. But the big question remains… did Donal actually tune in to watch the finale? Knowing him as well as we do, you might already know the answer. 👀 With Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in full swing, the pair celebrate all things Irish and discuss Jessie Buckley’s historic win at the Academy Awards. It’s a proud moment and a reminder that it really is an incredible time to be Irish. Arthur and Donal reflect on how quickly life can change and how the most unexpected opportunities can take you in completely new directions. After travelling around Ireland, Donal shares stories from the road and explains why locals in Cork firmly believe their city is the true capital of Ireland, a claim that sparks plenty of debate. Plus, in this week’s 1 Truth, 2 Lies segment: What really happened during Donal’s wild night out in New Orleans? And did Arthur actually fall asleep on a celebrity’s shoulder?  Tune in to hear the stories, the laughs, and the truth behind the lies.
