    Has become a weekly vaccum of how dreadful the English are and how fantastic the GAA wonderland is. Could do with bringing in a guest to mix it up and taking it beyond Joe's prejudices.

  • Honesty - the truth of it.

    Honesty in these times is something that is becoming harder to find. This podcasts unique feature is the willingness of Dion and particularly Joe to drill down to the absolute truth of it. Whether it be on emotive topics like the GAA, RTE, the establishment, Westminster or where I feel they absolutely excel the fluctuating furnace of Northern politics of our famous isle. They always go after the often difficult and hard to stomach truth of it. more

    Love you two, Joe your a bit of a see you next Tuesday to Dion, and Dion sometimes you hold your own with quiet dignity but sometimes. maybe you hold back too much soft lad, but generally two bright decent blokes having some deep conversations about what matters, and it’s so so refreshing. Keep it up you C$&ts.
