Why are some households completely obsessed with hiding their kitchen appliances, and does a clean counter represent a deeper cultural divide? In this week’s main show, Colm Hayes and Justin Caffrey unpack the hilarious feedback from their viral debate on Protestant utility rooms and why some houses simply refuse to leave their toasters on display.Broadcasting directly from a hotel room in Malta, Justin reveals the absolute chaos of packing up his entire life in Greystones—selling the cars, the bikes, and literally everything that doesn’t fit into a suitcase as he prepares to transition his business abroad.

From avoiding burnt toast (under strict warnings from leading oncologists) to Terry fitting comfortably into teenagers' clothes from TK Maxx, the studio dives headfirst into the realities of middle age.
