On this episode, The Big Mouse and Professor T pick up where they left off with Boyzone at the height of their success. Cracks, however, were starting to form within the structure of the band, and their greatest collective tragedy was about to befall them. 

We also reflect on The Goose Model™, which we employed on our previous podcast, The Feckin' Checkin', as a means to grow in popularity. Will The Goose Model™ make a return in 2025? That remains to be seen.

In this episode, The Big Mouse and Professor T address quite a bit of listener feedback on the "Tipping" episode, then delve into this weeks topic: the recently-released and much spoken-about Boyzone documentary, No Matter What. We discuss the early parts of the band's career, with a particular focus on the role of manager Louis Walsh, and his ruthless approach to the music business.

We discuss the extreme awkwardness of tipping for services in a mostly cashless society, citing various personal examples from the Big Mouse and Prof T!

The Big Mouse and Professor T dial back the years to 1990, as they present their real origin story.

On this week's Feckology, The Big Mouse and Professor T address some listener feedback, then delve into the topic of people who walk around in public places while looking at their phones. As a semi-regular jogger, The Big Mouse finds this practice quite irritating, and feel the offenders act like NPCs from Grand Theft Auto. As an offender himself, Professor T examines why he is the way he is.

Join the Big Mouse and Prof T for an analysis of two popular love songs - from the perspective of the creeped-out recipient of the lyrics.

Traynor, now reverting to his previous persona of "Professor T" (we'll have to change the theme song), and The Big Mouse, return for Season 2 of Feckology. Discussing new year's resolutions, losing the ability to read books, lacking enthusiasm for podcasting, different types of creative fulfilment, and Gen Z phrases. This one is as loose and rusty as you might expect after a long hiatus!
