How To Steal A Penguin

This week Joe tells us about the time he hosted an audience full of gangsters, Sean squeezes in a bit of ASMR and the worst comedy gig of his entire life - he most definitely is still not over it.

This week we talk about alternative names for the podcast, Joe shares a nightmare story from his weekend shift, and we imagine what Succession would look like with the 'other' Brian Cox.

This week we talk about Joe pouring the most expensive Guinness you’ve ever heard of, as well as the time Sean gave trade union leader Mick Lynch’s email address and the fallout from that. Last but not least Joe talks about running into a somewhat divisive Irish internet comedian who loves telling stories.

This week we talk about the fact that Joe sounds like a rusty door hinge when he’s got a cold, the ins and outs of hidden camera pranks on famous people, and the time Seán worked with Viper Higgins. Class lad.

This week we talk about Seán's time working with Arsenal legends Ian Wright and David Seaman, Joe shares a movie trivia game we all struggled to follow, and mortification ensues when a fan of the show brings up a steamy novel Seán once narrated.

This week we talk about the joys of having a pacemaker and having to get my batteries changed like a Duracell Bunny. Joe talked about the time he was hit by a car- just straight up hit by a car. I hope you like impressions because we stuffed quite a few in this week’s episode.

This week we measure Paul Mescal against other Irish celebrities in the pints department before donning our tinfoil hats and queuing up some classic conspiracies. To unwind, we discuss the art of YouTube comfort watching and finish on a very important question - how many seagulls would it take to carry Seán away? A very real threat and something that could happen at any moment.

This week we wade into the debate on the importance of statues of animals. We also recount the times we both separately bumped into Ian McKellen and how Sean's glorioius moustache once acted as a peacemaker during an intense day of filming.

This week we talk about our shared love of musicals, the idea of waiting outside a hotel for ten hours in the hopes of seeing AC/DC for ten seconds, and Sean recounts the time he embarrassed himself in front of comedy legend Bob Mortimer.

This week we talk about working with Irish cinema legend Colm Meaney, what it means to scuttle a ship, and Joe’s surprise appearance in a SuperValu ad.
