Every so often Kevin likes to remind the listeners that PJ used to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in his moustache before a night out in London and today is one of those days. But these days he’s using the eyebrow pencil on his actual eyebrows as he has made his drag debut as Siobhán Yanickers and all the queens of Dublin have been left shaking in their thigh high boots. The Oscar love curse is the...

In this weeks catchup the lads discuss Kevin nearly getting the I’m Grand Mam account banned on TikTok and PJ quizzes Kevin on where he plans on putting a desk in his room.

Then as it's Valentine's week they decide to read out some cute meet stories from li...

It's the last episode of the year or is it the last episode ever? Who knows? Kevin likes to keep PJ and the girlies on their toes.

This week the boys are bringing you a very special episode in partnership with Science Week.

The lads are recording from PJ’s new gaff in Dublin which is situated right next to a DART track so if you hear any train noises during the episode no you didn’t.
