"Have you ever thought maybe we’re getting stuff too right?" Sunil Patel 

Chris uses his academic training to set a logic trap for a distracted James whilst Sunil talks us through an exciting new public holiday. You’ll be glad to know that Chris has risen from the flames, like Icarus! A mad, heatwave infused episode.

Sunil has too much energy, James has literally zero sympathy and Chris has some kind advice for a friend who’s embarking on a new horticultural adventure. Don’t think it needs saying but if you are having a medical emergency please do not contact podcasters in the first instance.

The lads regroup following the greatest live podcast show since records began. Spirits are high, but sadly it doesn’t take long before it descends into finger pointing. James wants us to clarify that he doesn’t write the introductions, Sunil unleashes the full force of his networking prowess and Chris is just relieved that it wasn’t his fault. Also, if anyone wants to nab the best part of a 250ml bottle of Horace cleanser from Belfast International Airport then crack on.
