It’s far too early, some would argue, but Darren is out of the block fast and racing into the festive season. This of course means the Christmas trees debate is back, and we end up with complaints about the smell of bark and dreams of an imagined Jesus train.

We bemoan the lack of tack at Christmas now, and that sets Joe off on a magical tour of his own imagination as he dreams up the tackiest home décor plan he can conjure – from indoor palm trees to magnificent, mismatched lampshades, and life size ornamental zebras wearing tutus.

After much build up, Darren’s delivered his wedding invites to Joe and Eoin. They’re very fancy and cause much fuss.

Joe comes in to us with some TikTok alien theories, and he wants us to believe there are extraterrestrials under the sea, to the point he’s outraged this isn’t a central issue in the Irish general election. he's also keen to talk down our sun, and argue it's the worst of all suns. A crap sun.

In this episode we talk about a new podcast from GoLoud, The Gambler, and you can listen to that here: https://open.spotify.com/show/6rDXDZO10vChppLfIxLyFF?si=3659c4a758874b87
