    It’s great to hear someone advocate for and promote Male body-positivity and comprehensive sex education.

  • This podcast is a precis of one of the most disgustingly 'woke' shows on Irish radio thes days (and believe me there's a lot of competition in that area unfortunately).

    The other week I heard one of their TV reviewers complaining about a new American show aimed primarily at LGB teens.

    He said he was disappointed that the depictions on screen of the two teenaged gays only showed them kissing, and that he would have preferred to see them (and I quote) 'explore each other' more on screen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why was Trump’s teleprompter operator fired?
Q: Is there a relationship between what's happening in the wild west of markets and what's happening on the street for ordinary Americans, is one affecting the other?
The economy shows a gambler's dynamic where markets go up despite instability, inflation rises affect ordinary people, and political actions influence consumer experiences and election outcomes.
Why was Trump’s teleprompter operator fired?
Q: Yes, but what this chap has done, the betting on what words Trump may or may not use, is there any actual regulation against that?
There isn't a specific law against insider betting on speech content, though some self-regulation exists on market platforms; overall, regulation is weak and not criminally prosecutable in this case.
Should we be drinking box wine in the heatwave?
Q: How long do these box wines last once opened, and how does that compare to bottles?
Wilson explains that once opened, boxed wine should be consumed within three to four weeks, and for some red wines it may last slightly longer, contrasting with bottled wine which typically lasts only a few days after opening.
Should we be drinking box wine in the heatwave?
Q: So like, is it much available in Ireland even, boxes of wine?
John Wilson confirms boxed wine is available through major retailers and mail orders, and notes that while the selection was once limited, retailers are expanding their bag-in-box offerings, especially in summer and festival seasons.
Andy Burnham puts milk in his tea first - why?
Q: Should you be putting milk in tea at all? Or why do we do it?
The guest outlines that milk was originally added to soften robust Assam tea brought by the British, discusses how milk affects infusion and flavor, and emphasizes that personal preference often drives the practice, with certain teas and setups benefiting from or resisting milk.
