    Both funny guys, loved listening every week but it’s a pod for a specific taste- there’s constant football rabbit holes which I can’t listen to, sorry lads!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

YouTube Best Bits Part 2
Q: If you weren't doing comedy, what would you like to do?
Both express interest in music and other creative avenues, suggesting a parallel career in music or other performance arts as a natural fallback to comedy.
YouTube Best Bits Part 2
Q: Why did you want to start a podcast together over another form of entertainment?
They say podcasts are the most feasible option given time, budget, and the ability to collaborate casually, with living room accessibility and lower editing demands compared to writing a script or producing a full film or TV project.
Simon Hennessy
Q: Where is the weirdest place you have gigged, and was it good or bad?
Two standout scenarios: a worst-ever lobby gig in Hounslow that was depressingly chaotic but grew into a funny story, and a charity gig in DCU with a crowd of Chinese students where language barriers made the performance challenging yet memorable.
Simon Hennessy
Q: Which of your Internet Boyfriends would you kiss and for how many minutes?
They settle on preferring Mark due to his pacemaker and overall kindness, with a playful note about data transfer tech and a lighthearted, affectionate exchange about preference rather than a serious pledge.
Sticky Gervais
Q: What is your biggest fear?
Joe expresses that his biggest fear is life being ruined in a vague, inexplicable manner, possibly leading to public humiliation.
