PJ has lost the plot altogether. Here's what happen, for those of you really paying attention, you'll remember that last week Suzanne called PJ skinny. Well, that ignorant attempt at a compliment has thrown him completely off the rails. So inflated was PJ's ego in regards to his invincible body that he lost himself in cheesecake, alcohol and Haribo jellies. The episode starts with a fatty breakdown of PJ's sugar intake. The perennial question of "which crisp is best for a crisp sandwich?" is wel...

Dubland are back in the studio for the first time in months, and Suzanne marks the occasion by instantly calling PJ skinny. He doesn't take kindly, so that's where we begin. Then there's PJ and Stefanie Preissner having coffee and his mad, intense fears about mundane things, which inspires great creativity in him. The world has gone mad, there's a quick rundown of the madness of 2020. The sexual abuse in the Irish comedy scene. Animals are now attacking people all over the world, probably becaus...

Fat and brown, or skinny and white... which is more desirable? Once again, Dubland demolishing the big questions. It doesn't stop there, of course, we move on to 'poo anxiety', and how much should we be farting? An update on PJ's dizziness and some potential solutions from the Dubland listeners hive mind. Suzanne and PJ then attempt to sort out Irish politics, but basically, they don't. So they move on to "Selling Sunset". Iconic sports stars who were absolute screwballs. PJ is still conflicted ...

Suzanne has watched the Jeffrey Epstein documentary which was just fuel to the fire. The lifting of some restrictions was good, but everything else is terrible. All that is to say that she's as bad as PJ in this episode. Hence the title. Having said that, PJ won't give up his title easily - something he wished for in last week's episode comes true this week... and he gives out about that. No stopping him. The leader of Ireland speaks mostly in movie quotes, and we're ok with that. Suzanne flip-f...

The sun is out! Does that make the pandemic ok? Not really, but it applies a filter to life, which is nice. Turns out the whole thing is Liverpool Football Club's fault anyway. The sun brings the people out, and with that the hugs and the licking of each other. It's very deflating these inflated groups of people. Suzanne's daughter knows, and most people, according to her Instagram poll - anyway, PJ has a lot to say about the people who will "lose their minds if they don't see their friends". Ry...

Chef PJ gets us started this week with his patented new and improved cooking techniques, with a fresh new take on what constitutes fresh food. An immediate about-turn leads us down the path of the exact opposite point. Then there's an uncompromising takedown of soda bread (cue comparison to a sandal). There's a new law in Ireland, you can deliver pints, as long as you're a certain distance from the pub. You can get an Irish person to forget anything if you have a pool. There's a birthday message...

After some technical difficulties (PJ closes his laptop), the Dublanders dive into chat about heroes, shopping, and how some people have just given up. They talk about the government and people giving out about supporting charities, or the wrong charities, or some other nonsense. Where did the Coronvirus start? - Suzanne is unsure. PJ has a healthy little rant about Trump. Suzanne has a healthy little rant about her kids. PJ basically turns into a supervillain of negativity. But there is the bir...

In this episode PJ informs Suzanne that she will die of a broken heart. She doesn't seem to mind as long as her hair is nice. The easing of restrictions, what does it all mean? How are the mammies dealing with being locked in? What is the best stuff to have in your cycling shorts? Gemma O'Doherty pretending we're in a police state. Suzanne is hopeful, PJ is pessimistic. We need people to be sounder. People slagging off Leo. PJ goes deep into the Stockdale Complex. Hope is a good thing, but hope ...

Dubland meets... absolutely no one because they are living in lockdown! They have figured out how to make chat over the internet and here we are. They talk about everything quarantine related, from home haircuts to Tiger King, from politics to a walk in the park, and from we’ll be out and about next week, to we’ll never be let out again, this is our new forever. All that and everything in between. It’s the isolation consolation we all need right now. Who better than Suzanne and PJ to hunker down...

They tackle the big questions like, why are women obsessed with true crime? Roz lays out her case of why she would be difficult to murder. They talk about social media, its pros an...

The Royal Visit to the Guinness Storehouse. There's a sentence Suzanne and PJ can get into. But somehow it moves quickly to funerals, and that's the real conversation! So much better than weddings - can you guess who's opinion that is? PJ is living in Coronavirus ground zero, so, yeah they get into a good old chinwag on that fast approaching bundle of fun. Back to the royals, English crisps, pubs and tea - all this leads up to Suzanne crying in an airport. There's fancy whiskey, which is good fo...

Dubland meets Baz Ashmawy... and they talk about all of Suzanne's favourite snake oil nonsense, glue blood, levitation, the whole lot. Baz's daughter is an elf, which is pretty cool. She had to change school, unfortunately, Elf school is more welcoming. Irish funerals are better than Irish weddings. Baz talks about getting back into acting, and about his new documentary with his mother. Suzanne reveals her two year rule, and her theory on chlamydia and old people. The gang discuss alcoholism, be...

This week's Dubland starts off with a very wholesome gift giving. Very suddenly, almost without notice, it descends into an analysis of how this is the worst year of all time (and it's only February). We go through how Sinn Fein are getting on so far since their recent historic General Election. PJ has a revelation... it's not news to anyone else. There is discussion about wine, incontinence, and being prone to skidmarking. Then we pivot to Caroline Flack and cancel culture. It's an excellent co...

Ohhhhhweeee, the Irish General Election... this is a doozy... no better people than the Dublanders to sort out this mess. Or like, argue between themselves and really sort nothing at all. Good craic though. PJ is in his element with this news. Suzanne has a sense of doom. They then move on and talk about the royal visit... again, team Dubland don't quite see eye to eye on this announcement. PJ generously explains to the listeners his perfect economical date.

Dubland starts this week with some ACTION as Suzanne decorates the brand new studio with some fresh coffee. PJ commentates and then the hard sell begins - Dubland needs a sponsor! If you can help, get in touch. The serious business of the episode begins with talk of crisps and butter knives. Nobody wants to talk, that's the theory of the week, on this podcast, in which two people sit in a room and...

After a short review of the previous episode, Suzanne and PJ move on to discuss PJ's total lack of social life. This leads to his interaction with his good-looking neighbour. Which of course leads to talk of him moving house, and more mortgage chat, and then a mid-episode plea to a financial expert (a future episode). Everyone in Ireland knows someone who knows someone else who lives in Ireland. This isn't the case in the UK or other big countries. Suzanne raises her fears of the countryside aga...

David works with the European Space Agency, so they have different levels of understanding around these subjects. There are phrases like "Gamma ray burst detector" in this episode. It's great fun...

It’s Halloween and Suzanne and PJ have strong opinions about the matter. PJ is a big fan (in stark contrast to his feelings on Christmas). They chat about ‘Hocus Pocus’, which PJ shockingly hasn’t seen, Salem (“Disneyland for witches”), mad Scottish witch trials and plenty of Irish legends. PJ makes it clear that Halloween is not for kids, and trick or treaters to his house this year won’t be happy.
