Dubland

Dubland gets started this week with some talk about the upcoming General Election in Ireland. Then we're onto the flicky eyes which leads to a deep dive into pulling a sicky from work. Lads go from Wayne Rooney to William Butler Yeats when describing their illness. There is some talk about what men do with banana peels, "but I'm not gonna tell ya". Suzanne hasn't watched Little Women, but she's happy to review it anyway, and she fantasises about being a cheerleader in high school...

. Suzanne and PJ help Stefanie to get over some slight nerves about being on Dubland. They then proceed to talk about politics, god, science, dick pics, a few Netflix documentaries and addictive personalities. What was Stefanie nervous about again?  She talks about all of her rules, her attempts at a normal life, her relationships. It's fascinating stuff. Dubland Meets... is off to a flying start!

Ohhhhhweeee, the Irish General Election... this is a doozy... no better people than the Dublanders to sort out this mess. Or like, argue between themselves and really sort nothing at all. Good craic though. PJ is in his element with this news. Suzanne has a sense of doom.  They then move on and talk about the royal visit... again, team Dubland don't quite see eye to eye on this announcement.  PJ generously explains to the listeners his perfect economical date. They discuss Valentine's Day...

This week's Dubland starts off with a very wholesome gift giving. Very suddenly, almost without notice, it descends into an analysis of how this is the worst year of all time (and it's only February). We go through how Sinn Fein are getting on so far since their recent historic General Election. PJ has a revelation... it's not news to anyone else. There is discussion about wine, incontinence, and being prone to skidmarking.  Then we pivot to Caroline Flack and cancel culture...

Dubland meets Baz Ashmawy... and they talk about all of Suzanne's favourite snake oil nonsense, glue blood, levitation, the whole lot. Baz's daughter is an elf, which is pretty cool. She had to change school, unfortunately, Elf school is more welcoming. Irish funerals are better than Irish weddings. Baz talks about getting back into acting, and about his new documentary with his mother. Suzanne reveals her two year rule, and her theory on chlamydia and old people...

The Royal Visit to the Guinness Storehouse. There's a sentence Suzanne and PJ can get into. But somehow it moves quickly to funerals, and that's the real conversation! So much better than weddings - can you guess who's opinion that is? PJ is living in Coronavirus ground zero, so, yeah they get into a good old chinwag on that fast approaching bundle of fun. Back to the royals, English crisps, pubs and tea - all this leads up to Suzanne crying in an airport...

Dubland meets Roz Purcell and after Suzanne fawns over her, they talk a good bit about Miss Universe and Ireland's answer to it, The Rose of Tralee. They talk about weight, the psychology around weight and complimenting people on their weight. We learn about how Roz got to where she is and what she defines herself as. They tackle the big questions like, why are women obsessed with true crime? Roz lays out her case of why she would be difficult to murder...

Dubland meets... absolutely no one because they are living in lockdown! They have figured out how to make chat over the internet and here we are. They talk about everything quarantine related, from home haircuts to Tiger King, from politics to a walk in the park, and from we’ll be out and about next week, to we’ll never be let out again, this is our new forever. All that and everything in between. It’s the isolation consolation we all need right now...

Dubland Lockdown Two - the differences between northside and southside lockdowns, the supportive clapping for HSE and NHS workers. More hair cutting analysis. Suzanne has reached Acceptance... PJ not so much. He has wrath to dish out - Cyclists get it. 5k Liars get it. PJ's friends get it. Humans in general get it. New technology gets it. Whatsapp gets it. And, obviously, Trump gets it. Don't drink disinfectant, people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode PJ informs Suzanne that she will die of a broken heart. She doesn't seem to mind as long as her hair is nice. The easing of restrictions, what does it all mean? How are the mammies dealing with being locked in? What is the best stuff to have in your cycling shorts? Gemma O'Doherty pretending we're in a police state. Suzanne is hopeful, PJ is pessimistic. We need people to be sounder. People slagging off Leo. PJ goes deep into the Stockdale Complex...
