    Episode 64 : Euthanasia , Legalization of Marijuana & Gender Neutral Bathrooms

    This week is just the two of us and we couldn't be happier to lift the lid off some of the current controversial topics of recent times and dive in sharing our genuine views and opinions. This weeks episode we discuss whether Euthanasia should be introduced into Ireland, debating pros and cons to this procedure and comparing the Irish health care system to some of other European Countries. Having put out a voting poll to you earlier this week we discuss should Marijuana be legalized for medicinal use and the benefits this plant has on so many ailments and the human body while also shining a light on big pharma and its money driven hunger. And to stir the pot even more we dive into the wide spread change of gender neutral bathrooms being introduced and give our opinions on why they should be removed and never have happened in the first place. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed the conversation, which was great to be just the two of us on this episode.

    Episode 62: George Hutton - Northern Ireland Troubles, The Catholic Church & Singing To Success

    In this week's episode, we are honoured to sit down with the incredibly talented and humble George Hutton, a professional singer and tenor from Derry. In our conversation, George takes us back to his childhood in Derry during the final years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. He shares the profound challenges he and his family faced during this tumultuous period, including the harrowing experiences his father endured at the hands of British soldiers. George reflects on the heavy burden of living in a divided community, where even simple associations could be dangerous, describing it as a form of intergenerational trauma. He opens up about the complexities of growing up in such a volatile environment and the lasting impact it had on him. As George moves into the later chapters of his life, he recounts how his passion for singing began at the age of 16, when a local tenor urged him to pursue it seriously. This advice led George to begin formal classical training at 19, which eventually propelled him to a career in the world of classical singing. He shares the story of his time as one of The Five Irish Tenors, a group that toured across forty-seven states in the U.S. as part of three national tours, thanks to the efforts of Columbia Artists. In recent years, George has teamed up with renowned musician Phil Coulter, and together they have embarked on a musical journey, touring throughout Ireland for the past five years. In this conversation, we also delve into George's thoughts on the Catholic Church and the dark history of abuses committed in Ireland, discussing how the nation allowed such atrocities to happen within its own borders. This episode is a rich and heartfelt discussion on joy, resilience, and the strength needed to move forward in life despite hardship—especially in these uncertain times. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. To listen, click the link in our bio or below:

    Episode 59 Raj Bruv - Wisdom, Love & Positivity

    In this weeks episode we have the pleasure of sitting down with one of the local legends from Greystones, a man of his own, a joy filled, energy inspiring and absolutely hilarious gentleman who hails all the way from Punjab in India - Raj (Bruv) Singh. Raj enlightens us about his journey from India at a young age to Ireland and the experiences he has had since arriving to the Emerald Isle. Having found his home in Greystones after joining The Happy Pear in 2014 Raj quickly adopted the same lifestyle as the guys there and incorporates it into his daily routine which he speaks to us about, which includes early morning sea swims, stretches, meditation and breathwork. Raj has recently become a breath work facilitator and shares with us the importance of controlling our breath and how it is so over looked in everyday life. He has become an ambassador for nasal breathing and encourages everyone he meets on his path in life to adopt it into their lives. Raj speaks to us about listening and how we can learn so much from one another if we learn to silence our own voices first rather than always being ready to react. Anyone who meets Raj will know how full of life he is and he speaks to us on the need for people to have goals in life, both short and long term. We really enjoyed chatting to Raj and what a laugh it was for us. We hope you enjoy listening.

    Episode 58: Then vs Now

    In this week's podcast episode, we dive into a captivating conversation reflecting on the stark contrasts between life in the past and the present. We share our nostalgic memories of our first mobile phones and explore the remarkable technological evolution since our childhood. We also discuss how pubs in Ireland have transformed—not just in atmosphere and environment, but also economically—becoming less of a hub for camaraderie. We reveal some of our favorite spots where you might find us unwinding and the reasons behind our visits. As we reminisce about our childhood, we highlight how different it is for today’s kids, who have technology at their fingertips and how many parents now rely on devices like iPhones to engage their children, often at the expense of meaningful interaction. Our conversation covers a wide array of topics, but one particularly noteworthy theme is the dating landscape. We reflect on how dating has shifted from lively dance halls to swiping on screens and paying for a shot at love. It was a delightful chat filled with laughter, and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!
