St Patrick’s Day is fast approaching and though the parades have been cancelled across Ireland the boys are still celebrating with a special episode about the history of Ireland. Unfortunately, neither of the lads have opened a history book since the Junior Cert so their knowledge is definitely a bit rusty but at least they’re passionate. Were all the Vikings rides? Why was Oliver Cromwell so lousy? Is the potato the most versatile vegetable going? Stay tuned to find out. Produced by Factory Stu...
Prompted by the fact that everyone's allergic to the proposed plans to raise the rent of on-campus accommodation for students in several universities across Ireland, the boys decide to discuss their own past experiences with trying to find the perfect, glam gaf.

It’s I’m Grand Mam’s first birthday and everyone’s invited to join Kevin and PJ in celebrating a year of having an absolute skittybang.

Is success written in the stars for the boys? Will Kevin ever find a fella? W...

*yawns* As a fatigued Anastacia once said ‘I’m sick and tired of always being sick and tired.’ In this episode the lads talk about the fact that no one is getting any sleep at the moment and how as a result everyone looks bate and there’s nothing anyone can do about it because mercury is hanging around in retrograde like a bad smell.
