Episode 12: Farewells, Tattle Life, Arthur’s Fish

Queue the violins… it’s time to say goodbye to Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… for now!

In this final episode before a well-deserved summer break, Arthur and Donal are signing off with laughter, heartfelt reflections, and of course, a few dramatic flairs. Broadcasting from beautiful Dún Laoghaire as Donal wraps up his current chapter, the iconic duo gets a little more serious than usual as they open up about the dark side of being online.

In a powerful and honest conversation, Arthur shares how toxic gossip forums like Tattle Life have affected his life, while Donal discusses his own experiences with online hate as a public figure. It's a rare, vulnerable side of Let’s Do This! that longtime listeners won't want to miss.

But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of fun to go around! Arthur and Donal chat about the very different ways they plan to challenge themselves when the podcast returns. While Donal is dreaming of a relaxing summer filled with pottery, painting, crocheting, and wholesome hobbies, Arthur is already planning adrenaline-filled adventures like skydiving, bungee jumping, and hot air balloon rides. These two may be polar opposites, but together, they’re podcast gold.

And of course, we couldn’t leave you without one final spin in the beloved Confession Box! From bizarre wedding anniversary gifts and steamy daydreams to a hilarious tale about pet fish (including a surprising confession from Arthur), this segment delivers the chaos, charm, and cheeky energy you’ve come to love.

We’ll miss hearing your wild, wonderful, and downright outrageous stories over the summer, but fear not! Arthur and Donal are already plotting their iconic comeback. So follow along and get ready for more laughs, honesty, and lovable madness when Let’s Do This! returns.

Laughs, confessions, and utter nonsense... It’s all here!

Episode 11: Festivals, Salt Pigs, The Corrs

Arthur and Donal are back… and this time, they’re broadcasting from a hotel room, not a studio. Why? Because Donal is knee-deep in filming the new season of Real Time Recipes. 

In this laugh-out-loud episode, the lads unpack the highs and lows of hotel living, filming schedules, and the eternal rivalry between North Side and South Side living in Dublin. Arthur’s just wrapped up his 30-day challenge and now it’s Donal’s turn to face the music, or in this case, host the long-promised barbecue bash. Will he deliver, or will he try to distract us all with talk of his latest obsession: pottery?

Yes, folks, Donal is fully leaning into his midlife crisis, complete with a growing collection of ceramic mugs and a very confusing object called a salt pig. (No pigs were harmed in the making of this episode.)

Summer is officially here, and the boys are ready to enjoy life in summer mode. They reminisce about anniversaries, try to establish new routines, and fall down a hilarious rabbit hole about The Corrs,  which somehow leads to a bizarre question: Neil Young or Will Young? 

Arthur is hellbent on dragging Donal to Electric Picnic this year, but Donal would rather enjoy his music with comfy seating, noise-canceling earplugs, and a cheese board. The festival dream might be fading… but the banter is stronger than ever.

And of course, no episode is complete without a peek inside the Confession Box! Where listeners reveal some scandalous, cheeky, and downright kinky secrets involving false teeth and customer service representatives. Yep, it gets weird.

🎙️ Arthur and Donal are back — and things get hilariously unhinged this week. They discuss all things Father’s Day and debrief on how fatherhood has been treating them. Naturally, this spirals into a spontaneous family quiz… 

☀️ But before Donal can even think about summer holidays, Arthur throws out a burning question: When does summer actually begin? The result? A deeply chaotic debate that ends with childhood stories. Arthur shares his memories of summers spent gardening and selling fruit with his aunt and uncle, and he teases Donal for spending his summers on a boat in high society.

🧘 Donal also sets his summer intention: more mindfulness, less madness. Both dads agree, summers are for making core memories with the kids.

✈️ Speaking of travel, things take a turn as the guys share wild airplane stories — from viral videos of plane karaoke to casually meeting celebrities mid-flight.

😈 Then it’s time to open The Confession Box, and let’s just say... you lot are absolutely unwell. Arthur said, “The dirtier the better,” and you really took that as a personal challenge. From scandalous hook-ups to secretly fleeing the country for forbidden flings, this week’s confessions are spicy enough to make your grandmother clutch her pearls.

Episode 9: Birthday Boys, Exploding Ovens, AI Obsessed

It’s a double birthday bash on the pod this week as Arthur and Donal celebrate turning a year older, and debatably wiser. They tell us everything from their birthday weekend, from birthday massages to birthday mess-ups, as Arthur has to clarify how old he really is.

Everyone in Ireland seems to be talking about the Bloom Festival drama, but only Donal can give you the real tea from the Phoenix Park: exploding ovens, headline concerts, and a crowd full of chaos. Trust us, you haven’t heard this version of events.

Meanwhile, Arthur hits his breaking point over Donal’s relentless obsession with AI. Deepfakes, cursed AI-generated videos, and the unhinged things they send each other. If you thought your group chat was weird, you haven’t met these two.

Arthur’s also knee-deep in his 30-day fitness challenge, and he’s not just breaking a sweat, he’s breaking out some serious main character energy. He shares all his newly learned tips and all his new moves.

And for confession time, Arthur drops a bombshell. Let’s just say someone gave him a very personal, very filthy, in-person confession… and he’s been dying to share it.

Episode 8: VIP Style Awards, Donal’s Pottery, Who is Arthur Peter?

This week, Arthur spills the tea on his journey to fitness and his VIP Style Awards nomination (yes, we know, he’s a fashion icon!)

Meanwhile, Donal questions whether he’s at the beginning of a midlife crisis with a new obsession: pottery. Is he channeling his inner artist or just looking for an excuse to reenact that scene from Ghost with Arthur? The big question: who’s Patrick Swayze and who’s Demi Moore?

Arthur also brings the culture with a night at Swan Lake, which takes a turn when he and Donal have an interesting conversation over a mysterious man called Arthur Peter… or is it Arthur Pita??

As always, the lads round things off with heartwarming good news stories and some of your most wonderfully weird and forever dirty confessions.

Arthur and Donal chat about the legendary Joe Duffy hanging up the mic, and share their own hilarious encounters with the man, the myth, the national treasure.

We’re back with some good news stories where followers share their heartwarming wins… before things take a sharp left turn into the Confession Box, where the stories are filthy, funny, and occasionally shockingly wholesome. One listener even shares how she accidentally stumbled into love in the weirdest way.

Episode 6: Family Holidays, The Met Gala, and Eurovision Madness

Arthur and Donal are back from their family getaways and ready to unpack the joys of travelling with small children… spoiler alert: it's not always relaxing. Arthur tries to bring some glamour to the pod with his love for the Met Gala, while Donal remains unconvinced by all themed outfits. 

They swap stories about live music, discuss Lady Gaga making history, and get irrationally excited about the Eurovision Song Contest (because who doesn’t love a glitter-fueled musical showdown?), and, most importantly, reveal some absolutely wild listener confessions. They said “the dirtier the better”, and oh boy... the people delivered.

In Episode 5: Eurovision Month, Confessions at the Vatican, Hotel Horror Stories

It’s May, which means only one thing… Eurovision season is upon us, and Arthur and Donal are spiralling into sequins, song contests, and delusions of grandeur. They deep dive into their respective Eurovision Song Contest journeys, manifesting being the hosts one day, and argue over who is a real fan. 

Jumping back into the confession box, they discover a secret that happened in the Vatican City, share some hotel horror stories of their own, and hear about what their listeners will do to escape the in-laws.

Plus, some of the listener confessions have them wondering… is this really still a family podcast?
