This week PJ discovers that his mam has her priest’s personal number and has been quietly organising communion drop offs via Whatsapp while she’s been unable to attend mass with her leg, which raises several questions for the lads. There is also a live tasting of José’s homemade biscuits in studio and Kevin recalls the antics of his Crossfit Christmas night out.

For the theme the lads share their ins and outs for the year. PJ declares contradicting yourself firmly in and WHOOPS officially out, while Kevin predicts that 2026 will be a big year for corn and but he says he'd like to see the end of the focaccia sandwich.

This Christmas Kevin and PJ are back home in Cork for a very special charity episode recorded with Cork Penny Dinners. They sit down with General Manager Sharon Murphy to chat about the history of the charity and the incredible work it does not just at Christmas, but 365 days of the year. From providing hot meals to those who need them most, to expanding into a full community hub on James Street where people can learn IT skills and take part in social inclusion programmes, Cork Penny Dinners is at the heart of the city. Kevin and PJ also run around meeting some of the volunteers and big personalities who keep everything ticking and even get involved in a Christmas singalong.

To support the work being done by Cork Penny Dinners, Kevin and PJ donated €1,000 to the charity. If you enjoy the episode and are in a position to do so, they would love for you to consider making a donation too and help support Cork Penny Dinners, which receives no government funding and relies entirely on generosity and community spirit.

This week Kevin and PJ are chatting about letting hobbies stay as hobbies and not turning every interest into a side hustle. They also admit that just because something is homemade does not automatically mean it is good. While they may host a comedy podcast, the lads are keen to remind everyone that when it comes to shoots, they do in fact serve glamour.

For the theme, they run through their Tops of the Year, covering everything from internet searches and music to Grindr tags and share what stood out to them most. They would also like to apologise to Kingfishr and their fans and would like to invite the boys to come on the podcast if they're not too busy.

This week Kevin announces that he will not be putting up a Christmas tree in London, insisting he is done being the one who returns home first in January only to face the depressing task of taking down all the decorations alone. PJ immediately brands him a Scrooge, though Kevin maintains it is simply self-preservation. He also has a gripe to air about retail websites that promise ten percent off if you sign up to their newsletter, only to withhold the discount code for a full twenty-four hours, long after the impulse to buy has died.

Because the lads feel there is far too much pressure to have a picture-perfect Christmas, they invite listeners to send in their own festive disasters. From uncooked turkeys to festive infidelity, they want to remind everyone that no one’s Christmas is flawless and we can all take comfort in the chaos together.

PJ rants about the devastation he experiences living in an apartment block and coming home to a mountain of parcels and getting all excited only to discover none are for him. The lads also share their thoughts on Wicked: For Good, with Kevin unable to move past Elphaba wearing an Anthropologie knit cardigan during the only sex scene in the whole film.

For the theme, Kevin and PJ dive into the current Celtic revival, chatting about the surge in love for CMAT, Fontaines D.C., claddagh motifs and the sudden obsession with “splitting the G.” While they adore seeing people embrace their Irishness, they cannot help but worry that the hype might be more trend than tradition.

This week Kevin and PJ are feeling fragile as PJ’s back is in bits after a yoga class and the lads realise it is probably a blessing they do not have periods because they would absolutely never shut up about it. For the theme they dive into GLP 1s, prompted by the rise of Ozempic and Mounjaro. They chat about their own relationships with their bodies, the way fat people are treated in society and how Irish mothers are far more likely to compliment you on losing five pounds than saving a life.

This week PJ has a few bones to pick with Kevin, starting with the fact that Kevin apparently does not shower. He claimed he had no time to wash after his CrossFit class, yet still managed to take a thirst trap and post it in the name of engagement. PJ also discovers that Kevin secretly sold the television they went halves on and forgot to tell him entirely.

For the theme, the lads dive into Karen submission stories. One standout tale involves a girl who was meant to mind her friends cat for two weeks, but months later she still has it, her boyfriend is allergic and she has ended up with a vet bill of two thousand euro.

Kevin and PJ are unpacking the single life this week, all sparked by that viral Vogue piece asking, 'Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?'. They debate whether being single is now a flex, question the awkwardness of posting your partner online, and reflect on how much our self-worth really depends on relationship status. Along the way, they share their own dating faux pas, the pressure (or relief) of staying solo and whether Kevin only craves a relationship on a Sunday evening so he can halve the cost of the Deliveroo.

Kevin and PJ are back and have a lot to talk about thanks to Lily Allen’s new album, West End Girl. PJ finds himself stepping into some playground drama in his apartment block but isn’t sure if he stopped a bullying incident or just ruined a friendship. Kevin’s found a stunning new wine spot but the presence of a charcuterie board has PJ on edge. Kevin also shares tales from Amsterdam where the raving was intense and the mesh confusing. For the theme, the lads chat lyrical payback, Lily Allen’s divorce from David Harbour, and whether they’d like to be the villain in someone’s breakup album.

This week Kevin and PJ are coming to you live from The Spaniard in Kinsale for a special bonus episode brought to you by Guinness 0.0, celebrating the start of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.

They also read some listener stories from Cork Jazz weekends gone by including iconic tales involving a brass band on top of a bus and there's even an impromptu performance from a stunning jazz singer.

This week Kevin and PJ are going full Most Haunted as they join Matt and Tanya from the Cork Supernatural Society for a paranormal investigation in the Convent of Mercy in Cobh. They get to grips with all the ghost-hunting gear, find out which spots in Cork are the most haunted and spend most of the night gasping over the convent’s interiors: the floors, the spiral staircase, the crown mouldings… stunning!

PJ’s after getting a new couch but has enforced a strict “no sex on the new sofa” policy because it was pricey girls. He also confesses his deep love for waffles while Kevin argues there’s something inherently Protestant about the smiley-faced ones. The boys then dive into the dark world of doom scrolling as their screen times hit new highs, leading Kevin to realise maybe it was a good thing he never got that iPad after all.

Put your paws up! This week Kevin recalls a trip to a fancy café where he wasn’t being taken seriously, so naturally he decided to draft a fake invoice for €196k to assert dominance. The lads also chat about the unique joy (and silent panic) of seeing your friends in a show they’ve made themselves because what do you say if it wasn’t great? To top it off, Kevin’s just seen Lady Gaga on the Mayhem Ball tour and his life will never be the same again. Luckily for PJ (and the rest of us), he took notes.

This week the boys talk suds, sweat and split ends. PJ opens up about a traumatising childhood trip through a car wash that has meant he typically opts for a manual wash vibe which Kevin struggles to believe. Meanwhile Kevin’s done a Hyrox event and bleached his hair in the same week but he swears he’s not having a breakdown. The lads also debate the burning question: do blondes really have more fun or is it just bleach-induced delusion?

Kevin and PJ have a message two important messages to share with the men of the world; stop making your noses smaller and start smiling more. It's that simple really. For the theme they dive into the moments, trends and shows that should have been bigger but somehow weren’t. From missed cultural waves to pop groups that fizzled out, the boys unpack why certain things never got the spotlight they deserved. Was it bad timing or a lazy marketing campaign? Or was it just Louis Walsh acting the ejit? Perhaps it's a combination of all of the above.

PJ is back on his yoga buzz which Kevin isn't too pleased with as he doesn't want PJ to become more flexible than he is. They get into a discussion about instances where they had to whip the bob out and ask for the manager and go full on Karen because though they don't believe the customer is always right, when they're the customers, they are always right. As it's September and kids have gone back to school Kevin and PJ read out submissions from teachers to see if there's anything they'd like to get off their chests.

It's been one whole year since PJ and Jose Kirby Galang tied the knot down in Inis Beg and to mark the anniversary the boys ventured down to West Cork to the island where they married to plant a tree and Kevin questions whether they will be able to last another year or not. They explore magic as the theme and Kevin recalls seeing a magician for the first time on board Brittany Ferries on a trip to Roscoff and decides to add Brittany Ferry to his list of potential drag names and PJ shares stories about his chaotic imaginary friend from his childhood.

Girlies, this week Kevin and PJ are joined by international popstar and Sunday roast enthusiast JADE!

During the episode, the lads finally settle their ongoing beef with JADE over the use of the title “That’s Showbiz” once and for all, before diving into a chat about the music industry, her LGBTQ+ advocacy and even her secret talent for Sudoku.

Once the boys earned her trust, they managed to get JADE to agree to feature on their next single “Let’s Douche”—an activity she would apparently like to witness, should there be any volunteers.

While everyone waits for that bop to drop, listeners must brace themselves for JADE’s debut solo album “THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!” releasing on September 12th. The record is packed with iconic lyrics that fans can steal for their Grindr bios, and it’s already available to pre-order at shop.jadeofficial.com.

JADE has also announced her tour, which kicks off in Dublin this October because, understandably, she’s obsessed with the Irish.

Influenced by Kevin who was the first person to go on holidays to Malta ever, PJ took a trip there recently with his friend Layla who had her clit out on a catamaran and PJ tells us all about it. Then, prompted by the chaotic American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney and the even more ridiculous ELF campaign with Matt Rife the lads talk about the weird, wonderful and woeful world of advertising. They go through some copy lines and decide whether they are real ads or simply fads and recall their favourite jingles from adverts back in the day; WiMAX man you will always be famous.
