Beth Wyer (aka Bethandwhatt on TikTok) joined us this week! She told us all about the heartbreak of not only being cheated on but also betrayed by her best friend! And that's not Beth's only wild story in the search for love, as she opened up about doing doughnuts in Darndale and wearing balaclavas in cat cafes.

Thankfully, Beth's now found love - But there is one small problem which she reveals exclusively on the pod!

She helps out with a listener dilemma, and she also shares her own struggles with mental health and intrusive thoughts.

Beth also has her own podcast Tipsy Topics out now!

Charleen Murphy delays flights. Pass it on.

 Except she doesn’t and in this week’s episode she rants about the latest in a long line of rumours being spread about her.

 Ellie joins in on the transport themed ranting too this week after being essentially shushed in an airport lounge.

And they offer some tough love to a listener who’s mad about a boy who only texts her looking for one thing.

The 'I met my younger self for a coffee' trend is all over our FYPs - And this week Charleen and Ellie joined in. They offer their younger selves advice on everything from micro-fringes (Don't get one! Seriously!) to dealing with heartbreak and confusion about what to do with your life.

There's a listener who is struggling to deal with her boyfriend kissing another girl on a night out, and another who wants to know if she should just do the travelling she wants to do without her fella who can't afford it.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the birds!

This week, we have a very special Valentine in the studio, the OG Angel Boy himself, Dano! Although, it's hard to tell whether its a Valentine's Day special or a couples counselling session! After last week's episode about petty arguments, Ellie acts as the impartial judge to deliberate on some of the most common fights between Charleen and Dano. And they try their best to answer an important question - Who knows you better, your best friend or your boyfriend?

In Secrets From The Stalls, there's a listener who's wondering when her fella will finally ask her to be his girlfriend, and in Phone a Friend the listeners offer their advice to a girl who's not being taken seriously by the men she's dating.

All seems peaceful for Charleen and Ellie - But is it really? They've had some petty rows lately, as have the listeners, over things as small as the Dubai chocolate bar, and as big as kissing other people.

Charleen considers a parasite cleanse, although with Ellie's revelation about her childhood she might be the better candidate for it.

There's even a nod to an old segment - German Word of the Week.

Charleen is fed up of men - and their urge to spread their legs wide and take up as much space as possible, regardless of the people around them. Meanwhile Ellie rants about the absurd cost of breakfasts in Dublin after paying a whopping €19 (!) for a rubbish fry.

And a listener has gotten in touch after finding her dream man BUT it's not all rosy, he's not from Ireland and will have to move home soon. Should she stay with him until he leaves or end it before she gets heartbroken?
