Dick Soupe and Spike Mulligan are trying to earn money they owe Patsy their landlord for rent. The two are late for their morning shift as Santa Claus and elf at Swizzler’s Department Store, run by Mohammed Alfajar Fulhamhole. Dick’s reaction to this seasonal job, coupled with a ‘Furby’ toy craze of that year and his lusting after young mothers, has Dick and Spike soon arguing over their pints in Joe Goggleses’ pub. They’ll be turfed out of their flat before Christmas if they don’t get Patsy’s rent money. Spike moans about it while reading his new book on Nostradiddymus, the "middle century cacker" as Dick calls him. Dick decides the best way to deal with things is to sleep on it, only to be visited by apparitions who take him on a journey to witness pivotal points of his past, present and of his future - should he stay on this path… Yuletide Yobs is a vulgar little vignette of one man’s transformation again, again and again… An Amplevoicepod ear-film production. Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

May, 2001, Ireland. Two men arrive late in the morning on a cold and empty east coast beach. They are hungover. They are limping. They look at each other squinting. “This is it” one mumbled. “It’s done… Time to put on those headphones one last time…” It wasn’t one last time. Adgeen and Tony were back! And the Friday Rock Show ‘Brittas Bay’ special of ’01 was a masterclass in how to bottle a beautiful bowel movement. But they got by with a little help from their financially-induced friends. Dave O’Leary, Stephen Hawking, Ciaran Brennan, Neddy Tafler, Mr. Mellon, Gabbler, Leo McGregor and Paul Gombatuna all lent a well-remunerated hand in bringing the Friday Rock Show back on the air. Holding court among the bemused lobster-fleshed locals, bubbling farts in their ‘Rock Jacuzzi’, Adgeen and Tony sat on a Wicklow beach to present the first Friday Rock Show of the new millennium. They splash around, gurn, writhe and slap each other senseless in this epic summer special on Brittas Bay, Ireland’s ‘Premier Beach Attraction’ so someone says. You’ll hear some quite outlandish communiqués from our listeners. Jagger nearly spills hash into his pint while watching Celine gyrate beside his armchair. Neddy is so horny, his cock might explode as he soon gets his conquest ‘up the duff’. Baldy travels down to Wexford to fall in love with Becks from Coolgreany and proceeds to eat all her food. Then there’s Karen McGaa, who starts work at the ‘Donation Station’ in a sperm bank, soon to be hypnotised by Quentin’s larger-than-expected contribution. Finally there’s Gerry Dixon, who’s very angry at the ‘First Wives Club’ of his local GAA community, spitefully telling us they’re all ‘skulling back pints’, ‘riding in tractor sheds’ and ‘building a house next to the ‘mammy’’. Witness more spots than you can flick a snot at, with Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, Gabbler’s Sci-Fi Spot, The Tune The Box Spat Out, Don’t Fuck Up The Microphone and a bevy of promotional adverts to pick the sand out of your crack to. Adgeen and Tony dance in the moonlight with Toploader, roll with Limp Bizkit, go loco with the Fun Lovin’ Criminals, steal some sunshine with Len and play sssshhpiderman with The Ramones! And even the sun briefly came out too. It’s a mighty soggy sandcastle of a show. So throw down your towel and let The Friday Rock Show lash the air off your pimply blue skin with our Brittas Bay Special from 2001. Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

Strutting awkwardly down the steps into the pert parlour of plenty, flanked each side by Mirjana and Irena, Adgeen and Tony stumble through red velvet curtains. Two glasses of Louis Roederer’s finest Cristal are shoved in their faces by an effortlessly slender gentleman. Tony slaps him away, ordering instead two bottles of Tuborg much to the smirks of other McLapdancer staff. Adgeen’s about holding it together for the after party here but Tony has just pissed himself, wobbling toward a private room with a square-jawed Estonian. 50 Cent comes thumping on the P.A. and a thonged girl with a live snake jumps up on a shiny podium. Adgeen tells no-one in particular that “50 Cent was shot 8 times don’t you know”. Tony roars back beyond a curtain: “Yeah, but not in the head though!” The Friday Rock Show is ‘Looking Back At 2003’, when Ugg boots, double denim and Justin Timberlake were somehow relevant. A ghastly time for all involved but there was a sliver of Olympian light in the form of The Darkness, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Audioslave. Adgeen and Tony tear into incredulous letters sent in from Tucker, DJ Jaffa, Mickleen, Clare, Gabbler, Busher and Seamus Conman, regaling us with tales of their strange goings-on in 2003. A time when everybody was trapped in lapdancing clubs, drinking too much and racking up huge credit card debt to fund whole families back in Eastern Oestrogena. But, my, they were lovin’ it! Da-da-da-da-daaaah!   Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas. We construct fully immersive HD audio adventures.

Hard rock hallelujah! Lordy, lordy, eh? Lordi? Who? Uh, no it’s not just the tune the Finns shat out, but it’s praise be for another sonic slab of Friday Rock Show. Hewn from the stratified limpet brains of Adgeen Byrne and Tony Wilson… They’ve alabastered themselves all over with The Friday Rock Show No.32. Pasty, lined and cold to the touch, we chip away at the dusty, gnarly face of the calcified absurdities of rock. There are chiselled boulders of inarticulate and explicit stories from our listeners, including Jagger, Uzbeki, Gabbler, Eric, Umar and Floyd Excelsior Ginkle. Not to mention the spits, curses and all round passive aggressiveness of Busher, for whom we roll some Aha out in honour of his favourite band. They write in, we read out and all sorts of tectonic shifts ensue. We blow some speakers with Manowar, head to California with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and get stoned with Tool. Letter-writer Gabbler flies back later in the show perched atop his Millenium Sirocco to give us his Sci-Fi Spot and there’s always time for a bit of ‘Don’t Fuck Up The Microphone’. However, the stupendous ego of Leo soon bounces raggedly into our view, sending us his story of studying ‘boom frequencies’ and claiming false sexual conquests. Come rappel down the smooth eroded slope of The Friday Rock Show No.32 with us and let’s get Alabastered together. Simply the best, highest, thin-aired peak of rock shows, on a Friday. It's certainly not 'Full Metal Jackie' if that's what you're thinking. Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

Love your ears, let them flop and dangle along to the mighty Twenty Year Special from The Friday Rock Show. Adgeen and Tony have sparred over the microphone and gotten smart with each other for decades now. They’ve taunted, tricked and traded barbs. They’ve hocked, wheezed, sneezed and spat. Belched, burped and broke wind in a box room down in a basement, far away from polite society. And a good job too. Festering in their own bile and rancid juices, fermenting the next Friday Rock Show, the next strange story within and the next ignorant riposte across the airwaves. Listeners’ letters are attacked at will. There’s bemusery from Payter Farher, Fabian Mortimer, Baldy, Jagger, Simon Spratt, Turlough, Tucker, Shay Mozzarelli, Busher and Tom Shergar to name but most of them. It’s a symphony of sick, a cornucopia of crazy and a damn good time hearing their tales. Also there’s actually some rock ejaculated across the riotous correspondence, pretty little ditties from Queens of the Stone Age, Type O Negative, System of a Down and more multisyllabic bands. Oh and Udo… Remember him? Surely you accept you know him, your balls would be to the walls if you didn’t. But this time, his solo effort was The Tune The Box Spat Out. Pity. Then look no more for some ‘Mad Moments’, a hastily strewn together pile of puerility taken from the most recent ten years of shows up to the time this one went out, which by now is a long time ago but thanks to this you have the change to time travel back to when it was now. Celebrate this jamboree of juvenility, this orgy of originality and rejoice, for the weekend is here, with the weekend men propelling the most intense podcast on the planet.

This is when me and dirty ol’ bastard Adgeen Byrne went to the seaside, set up the Rock Pool and did a live radio broadcast from the Silver Strand in the cold of an Irish summer. It’s The Friday Rock Show at the Silver Strand. Yis don’t know where it is? Well, hint, it’s not yer granny’s landing strip down on the old acre, no, it’s a beach on the east coast of Ireland. It’s the ‘greatest shingle beach’ in the world, so say the desperate local tourist office, as they try stop residents fly-tipping across the dunes. Now it’s a painful fact, I don’t like the sun. Too big a star for me and I hate stars. Mostly the cunty ones living on this Earth… You know the sort, the attention beggars; ‘buy my shite ‘til I inject more botox.’   Thankfully I missed most of it. I’ve a 33-year studio tan, buried deep in patchbays, ribbon mics and big faders. Adgeen had to drag me off with the hat on and the talons out, to hit the beach and splash around. Nearly had a spasm. We dove into the wrinkly rock pool with submerged cassettes for music, unprovoked aggression for entertainment and other strange things that are not quite right. We’ve an array of wonderment in the show; ‘Pull the Nogger’, ‘Sgt. Bourney’s Lonely Rock Club Band’, ‘Professor Critic’, ‘Turgidy’ and ‘Areyamadindehed’. Plus stories from Colm, Busher, Katja, Joey Kafola, Gunnar Murphy and Baldy. We spurt out some great Paramore, Helloween, Nickleback, Bon Jovi, Judas Priest and Linkin Park too. So unsheathe the feet, grate off the hard skin and head on down with Adgeen and Tony of The Friday Rock Show to the Silver Strand and splash around with us, here on this teeny 2.20 minute grain of a clip, where it’s indisputably confirmed that DJ Adgeen is a dirty ol’ bastard. Then bask in the awesome full-length show wriggling down the streams yonder. Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

Aul’ Skool is a retro lovin’, halcyon, gimlet-eye view of successful rock artists being nearly creatively healthy in 1987 (when our Friday Rock Show was first spat out), only for said rockers to be haggard, stale and still hanging on decades later… Just like us to be fair. Who said rock was for the young? They’re dead now! We go Aul’ Skool with AC/DC, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Doro and Judas Priest! They play us their hollow, jaded updated versions of themselves. As artists they say they have grown. Grown what though? Grown rancid carbuncles! Bigger? Better? Bullshite! Listen what you think on The Friday Rock Show Aul’ Skool special… There’s correspondence from Dick Roache, ignoble flaccid member of the Irish parliament, worrying about everyone being unemployable again, Orcun The Keskin worrying about everything else and DJ Grooverider being ‘banged up in the Arabs’ as he puts it, in his mockney twang. And then there’s Boba Fenton. Boba has had it hard with women. So Boba wrote to the Friday Rock Show to explain. Over 4 distraught emails! So we bring you an exciting love-lorn quadrilogy ‘What is it with Women Eh?’ But wait! Achtung baby! It’s Doro Pesch! Ich liebe dich für immer! There's nothing The Friday Rock Show likes more than to squeeze the stars into our tiny, dingy, slightly Limburger-smelling studio. And that's what we did with German Metal icon Doro Pesch many moons ago. And what a lovely lady our little Nackenbrecher was. DJ Adgeen Byrne was agog at her radiating Germanliness and I could only gurn spasmodically, grab me root and kneel nervously ahind the mixing desk. Along the way we did manage to get a few words out of her and, lucky for youse, I taped it! From the FRS 35, Aul' Skool, this is real Warlock babaay. Ja for sure! And, yep, you eagle-eared eejits, Doro wasn't sure we understood the song title ‘Herzblut’. But we did, or at least I did. Adgeen couldn't stop staring. Herzblut is indeed 'Heartsblood' meaning, like: "My thousand daily lusts after young ones are like great chains of iron on my spirit, and my soul shrivels inside me as if weeping heart's-blood from a thousand cuts, as I realise I am too old to get me hole from them". Now yis understand? Knorke! Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas. We construct fully immersive HD audio adventures.

Live, on a Friday, the mighty meniscus rubbing Friday Rock Show is back! And back with Pat Shaughnessy! Pat is the one and only guitarist from Greenane in Wicklow, Ireland. He performs in the double-jumper guitar suit the mother made him and not long ago he joined DJ Adgeen Byrne and me, Tony Wilson, on this here show up at the North Pole! Yes. The North Pole. Pat played us a few of his icy chords in his icy cords as we were sent up North by management to broadcast, as they said, our "highly overrated yet frustratingly popular" rock show. We huddled in our 'Rock Igloo' to give you the very best to warm up your tubes. We bring you Norman Tash and his (very) drunk geography, crispy biscuits and Pat 'The Fingerer' Shaughnessy in all his encrusted glory playing you some Joe Satriani, Led Zeppelin and eh, Vanilla Ice... Stories and twisted tales aplenty too from Uncle Nobber, Lindor, Alberto, Tucker, Busher and Sheany Van Vesterhaysen. So it's time to rock down to, the Rock Igloo... Nobody takes you higher! (For at least 2 hours, 30 mins)... Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

Come along, come along, join DJ Adgeen Byrne and me, Tony Wilson, as we pull on the wellies to slide down into Dangleberry Farm! A live radio broadcast from the heartland. We get to grips with the manure and silage of farm owner Bert Kavanagh, with his tales of piggery and the Pink Floyd. We also get up to the neck in the latest farming practises and rural life from Dargle Bourke, Jem Kinsella and Turtle Desmond. There's reporting from Bertie Boylan on the terrible floods, Micko Madigan harvesting trees and Paddy is on the beer (isn't Paddy always?). There are lambs, chickens, heifers, sucklers and a host of other beasts including The Gabbler and his 'Sci-fi Spot' AND enter Professor Critic's aural abattoir to witness another Bon Jovi LP slaughtering. There’s home-made Pearl Jam, Backyard Babies and even planting astrology with Fabian Mortimer. So, fire up the harvester, for it's a bulbous Friday Rock Show No. 37, spraying live organophosphates in your face. This is only a 3 minute fleck of dung to bring you back to the land. To really become racy of the soil, jump in the Massey Ferguson 135 down to the co-op and suck diesel off the big bags of podcast below. Amplevoicepod create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas.

It's The Friday Rock Show again ladlogs and ladybirds, where we meet the Stargeezers. For those with one eye always on the sky, we go live to Jibbler’s Bell at the Fairly Astronomical Telescope to catch sight of some supernovae where DJ Adgeen Byrne and yours truly Tony Wilson sniff some serious spacedust with starman and renowned cosmologist Breeny Mox, so soon after his facial surgery too.  Breeny's a geezer and so are we, as we head out into the night, out and about up the fields, in other people's jackets, to search for the meaning of life. Back at base, Breeny regales the visitors to Jibbler's Bell with his cosmologically-sized brain and his hatred of astrology.  Elsewhere in the show there's news of The Chicken Wing Riots and Jagger travels over the moon to Camden, London with his new love Amy. There's Tucker, there's Sinead and there's some melodramatic whinging from Peter Mayhem too. Oh and don't forget to 'Pull The Nogger', an occasional segment where we attempt to understand our sexuality, or something.  Music from Electric Eel Shock, Texas Hippie Coalition, Aquabats and many more. Reach for the stars if you ever get out of the bed. We hope this short spacey scoop of science-y stuff will stir your lugubrious lugholes.
