Ep 34 - Connell Me By Your Name: An Interview with Paul Mescal

As the video of Kevin injuring himself made it into his March dump he decides to speak his truth and talk about his ordeal on the cursed mode of transport that is the Lime bike. He also reveals that when faced with his bike being stolen, instead of going into fight or flight his adrenal glands opted for freeze. The theme for the week is work/life balance and the boys discuss the ways in which attitudes are changing to employment and how in the words of Kim K, it seems like ‘nobody wants to work these days’. PJ then puts forward a very compelling argument for a communist state with the promise of organic veg for everyone but Kevin suggests he gives Animal Farm a read first.

PJ has a bone to pick with Kevin and it's regarding a comment he made nearly two years ago in Edinburgh after a call with a production company. Sensing fear in PJ's eyes about having to act, a skill which Kevin already had in wheelhouse from his time on the platoon in Les Mis, Kevin tried to reassure his friend by saying he could get acting lessons which sent PJ into a spiral. TV production companies if you're listening to this episode PJ has been working on his accents and can do a fab French one. The theme is good deeds and the lads talk about acts of kindness not counting because people are filming it for social media, virtue signalling and their favourite celebrity ever George Michael.

The lads are fed up. They're fed up of slow coaches, of lads hanging off bars in Stratford, of people accusing them of being classist and of angry dads in Howth. They've had enough! Because it's Easter the lads decide to do an episode around habits. Firstly they discuss the things they used to give up for lent when they were younger and Kevin reenacts drinking water for the first time. Then PJ outs Kevin for his habit of picking his nose and invents a habit for himself so he doesn't feel left out.

The conversation is off to a wholesome start this week as PJ talks about his recent holistic endeavours which involved an evening of yoga and ice baths and a claim that breath work is the new MDMA. Kevin meanwhile gets his highs from playing Sandstorm by Darude in his spin class. The theme for the week is jealousy, the green eyed monster, something everyone experiences at some point in their life but for some reason most of us are too mortified to admit it. They talk about being jealous when they were younger of the kids in the estate who could do the Pele 7 and being jealous nowadays when one of the girlies on Instagram posts a pic of her fella and he's all caked up. Life can be so unfair.

The boys have nothing done and tis all go as they've just announced their new live tour 'That's Showbiz' which will be kicking off at the end of May. Then prompted by Cillian Murphy's recent Oscar win for best actor and because it's Paddy's Day the lads have a conversation about the Irish buachaillí having a bit of a moment in Hollywood as of late with girlies and gays alike all being a tad bit obsessed and thirsting after them.  They also discuss the fact that they've no clue about how odds work when it comes to placing bets (not that they're really all that fussed anyway because going into betting shops makes them feel depressed and on edge).
