The Belgese Boy
Note from PJ & Kevin: Girlies, we've been battling gremlins when it comes to technology this month; first we lost a whole episode (more on that later), and this episode we had some audio issues when one of our mics started acting up mid-record. We've done our best to salvage it because we loved...

One of the Boys
Kevin’s keen to learn to drive, but with the fuel protests across Ireland this week, he’s not sure how useful it would be. The lads stand with the farmers, obviously, even if it did take PJ 5 hours to get from Cork to Dublin for Jordan’s wedding. Speaking of Jordan’s wedding, we find out more…

Is It The World?
