Folks, the wait is almost over for the next full episode — but in the meantime, we’ve got another hilarious Best Bits episode to keep you going!

This week, Arthur and Donal try their hand at one of their lifelong dreams: hosting the Eurovision. How did it go? Well... let’s just say there were a few hiccups. From jumbled scripts to Arthur absolutely losing it over Donal’s serious “TV voice,” the ambition is real, but so is the chaos. Eurovision 2027? Never say never. But maybe with an autocue.

Then it’s on to the trials, triumphs, and total meltdowns of travelling with kids. Cancelled flights, forgotten milk, and zero relaxation, they’ve been through it all. But as they’ll tell you, even when it’s mayhem, it’s (usually) worth it in the end.

And finally, van life gets a look-in. Donal’s been living the dream in Connemara with the family in a campervan, while Arthur can’t quite understand why you can’t just pull up anywhere and call it a night. Still, he’s got his sights set on something even bigger… an RV road trip. Where to? He’s not sure. But as he says, never say never.

It’s warm, it’s funny, and as always, it’s full of bits you won’t want to miss. Tune in and have a laugh with us!

In this episode, we're diving into some of our favourite moments. From viral chaos to absolute confusion, and a few that were very much lost in translation.

First up, the now-legendary tale of “Arthur Peter”... or wait, was it Arthur Pita? Arthur says the name so many times you’ll lose count, and so did we. After enough laughter to derail the entire story, we’re still not exactly sure what happened to Arthur Pita, but we promise it was important at the time.

Then there’s Donal’s big moment at the Bloom Festival, where a baking mishap almost went from 0 to viral disaster. Thankfully, no harm done… except maybe to Donal’s dignity.

Things don’t get any less chaotic when a chat about Coachella leads to an identity crisis over Blackpink, or as Donal insists, Black Pig. Arthur tries his best to bring Donal into the cultural now, but Donal’s still out here living in 2007.

Somehow, we also manage to consider whether Arthur could replace Joe Duffy on Liveline (spoiler: unlikely), especially after a moment of deep confusion involving a slice pan and something we literally can’t elaborate on here.

It’s warm, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly the kind of laugh you didn’t know you needed. Tune in for joyful nonsense, minor disasters, and two friends who truly shouldn’t work together, but somehow absolutely do.

​​This week on Best Bits, we’re heading straight back into the confession box, and trust us, the stories are as wild as the first time we heard them. Arthur’s giggling, Donal’s mortified, and we’re pretty sure this episode officially crosses the line from family-friendly to “maybe wear headphones.” 😅

From secret flings to, ahem, intimate moments in a churchyard (yes, really), our followers did not hold back. One listener even confessed to Arthur in person, and while he’s sworn to protect her identity, we’ll just say: it’s gloriously filthy and we love her for it.

Arthur admits to his own secret: buying fish on repeat to hide the unfortunate fact that they kept mysteriously dying. Meanwhile, both Arthur and Donal share their hilariously tragic hotel lockout stories, involving everything from towel embarrassment to what can only be described as an honest mistake.

Expect tales of forbidden crushes, sneaky relationships, and plenty of “did they really just say that?” moments.

Tune in, laugh out loud, and maybe even confess a little something yourself… we won’t tell. 😉

Best Bits: Mid Life Crisis, AI Crazy, Craft & Challenges

Donal has found his true calling… pottery. But there’s one small problem, Arthur isn’t convinced. Cue the giggles as they debate whether Donal’s “rustic” salt pigs belong in a gallery or a kindergarten craft fair.

Meanwhile, Donal has taken on a noble mission: a one-man crusade to open Arthur’s eyes to the true dangers of AI. His strategy? Flooding Arthur’s inbox with the weirdest, wildest AI TikToks he can find. Trust us, you’ll want to hear Arthur’s baffled, slightly horrified reactions.

As talk turns to the podcast’s return, both are ready to take on new personal challenges... but let’s just say their definitions of “challenge” are vastly different. Donal’s thinking about crochet, crafts, and serene ice baths. Arthur? He wants to jump out of a plane. How are they even friends? We’re not sure either! But we’re very glad they are.

The return is near. The chaos is real. Stay tuned for more absurd debates, unexpected inspiration, and whatever else these two dream up next.

Best Bits: 30 seconds, wee on the seat, can I call you daddy

In this episode of our best bits, Arthur and Donal are diving into hilarious stories and a few questionable parenting moments. From their unexpected claim to fame on the iconic Irish game show 30 Seconds (because let’s face it, everyone wants to be on it) to tales of board games, family chaos, and sibling-style banter, this one’s packed with laughs.

Donal shares a heated holiday moment in Marrakesh involving Ollie and a local cat, and both dads open up about the universal parenting experience of… yes, wee on the toilet seat!

Things take a turn when Donal calls out Arthur’s coffee-making skills (or lack thereof ☕️), and there’s drama over a neglected rose bush meant for Donal’s goddaughter. As always, Arthur takes it all in good stride, because let’s be honest, everyone loves Arthur.

Oh, and there's a surprise family trivia moment that leads to an unexpected revelation 👀

Hit play, have a laugh, and don’t forget to follow for more weekly chaos and heartwarming moments from two guys just figuring it out!

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.

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

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.

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

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. 

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