Dubland

Dubland is back with more talk of fancy foods, Branston Pickles and Braxton Hicks. Suzanne's house is a building site and PJ still has a leaky roof (for new listeners this is going on for years).  Suzanne is a crank, but she has good reason, which she lists, and PJ can't believe it, especially the sports related size comparison. He really learns a lot in this episode. He genuinely might be a new man after this episode. So there's a lot of talk about the pregnancy and babies and stuff...

PJ cut his own hair. They talk about auditions and never getting a call from your agent, sure don't we all know? We all love Deirdre O'Kane (not Suzanne's aunt). Do you know anything about the Turkmenistan President? We learn a bit more about Suzanne's kids and the differences between them. From temper tantrums to list of gifts to conscription lists. PJ gets two presents, one he's the delighted with, the other invokes a glorious underwhelmed reaction...

In the meantime, this episode is as chaotic as you'd like for a return to Dubland. Prodcuer Alan asks them to plug HeadStuff+ at the top, which leads Suzanne and PJ to talking about Sweet Valley High for about ten minutes. Of course...

Dubland begins this week with a slightly more conventional plug for HeadStuff+ (the new membership platform on which you can become a member and support this podcast!) Then it gets down to more conventional Dubland topics, if the word conventional could ever be associated with this podcast. They talk about mass collections and PJ as an altar boy who was in it for the cash. There's Dead Dad Day which is an annual thing for Suzanne...

Straight into the action this week on Dubland with pie charts, right angles, pizza and the globally diminishing ability to be able to tell the time. St. Anthony is on the lookout for Suzanne's AirPods and PJ tells us about his waxy ears and burning "water" in a list of pains and grievances that Suzanne, the mother of three, wouldn't understand. PJ is going to get into a helicopter with a pilot who loves golf jumpers and is convinced PJ is someone other than PJ...

Dubland drops this week with middle aged men in cycling high heels which isn't enough to lighten PJ's form, he's having a mare of a week. There's more talk of PJ's finances with Eoin McGee and just a touch of light defamation. He's giving up on getting a house, but Suzanne isn't ready to give up on him getting a house, so she starts pitching TV shows based on the topic, and dating shows, and the merging of the two...

This week on Dubland PJ is starting a new job so obviously everything is terrible. The Dublanders don't want to be negative Nellies, but somehow it might be happening anyway. Suzanne went on the Pat Kenny show to demonstrate the fact. She is joining PJ as a Covid Crank. Anyway, that's all the morbid stuff out of the way. Suzanne and PJ then go on to planning their funerals...

There is dog excrement everywhere and Mr. Poo, formerly known as PJ Gallagher is ready to talk about it and he might even make the odd complaint about this new excrement covered world we inhabit. He's also done with burgers and both he and Suzanne are too old for spice bags. They talk about the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy, the Artane Boys' Band and the overwhelming desire for a bomb scare when you were in school...

PJ is now the oldest man in the world. Like everyone else in their 40s, he has given up on life. Then there's the story of the naked burglar. PJ gets whiskey for his birthday and proves he likes it by saying what he would have said if he didn't like it. He then bangs on about the rules of whiskey. The pair of them are hooked on the ibuprofen, mad for it altogether. The red wine isn't doing it for Suzanne anymore, she's on the injectables now...

This week on Dubland we find out that in PJ's youth, the bank saved the wrong fiver for him. He's also starting to ruin his life with hope in a complete switcharoo with Suzanne. PJ reckons he has ten years of mobility left and Suzanne, who is younger, says he trampolining days are behind her...
