Sarah Ryan, minus her usual whipping boy, is joined instead by her husband Keith on this week's episode. They discuss Trump's tariffs, Ireland's exposure to economic ruin, and then for fun they debate whether libertarianism has any merit whatsoever.

John and Sarah ask why nobody ever talks about toxic femininity; discuss the great speaking rights row in the Dáil, and the new transgender controversy engulfing Irish scouting.

John and Sarah discuss Conor McGregor, Fine Gael's new war on "toxic masculinity", look back on covid five years on, and have a good old fashioned row about the covid vaccines.

John and Sarah discuss the white house shindig, foreigners buying homes in Ireland, migrant crime figures from the UK, and the celebrity cheating scandal that has women up in arms.

John and Sarah debate - are females more gullible? And also: Why do paedophiles keep getting away with it? Why don't the public care about wasteful spending? And why does the Government want to make some people homeless?
