Denis and Mark are celebrating the return of the iconic Juno Birch to the podcast, catching up on her latest adventures and the wild world of monkeys stealing phones.

This week, Denis tries to explain Ireland’s sudden football glory to Mark including Troy Parrott’s hat-trick and a parrot in Dublin Zoo who’s now somehow part of the story. We also unpack whether “boyfriend” is officially lame, when someone becomes a “partner,” and why office small talk has turned into a full-time sexuality guessing game.

Meanwhile, George the cat is testing everyone’s patience with attempted mouth-licking and the constant risk of escape. Denis shares the terror of misgendering pets (“owners get very offended”) and Mark reveals his cat-sitting technique that basically involves slithering through a doorway like a break-in.

We also cover:

• Wish the Lindsay Lohan box office smash
• misjudging in the office
• subtle (and not subtle) ways to “fish” for information
• pet gender etiquette and why dogs are apparently all male
• George’s lonely boy era and his fish-on-a-string routine
• the stress of cat-sitting in a busy London neighbourhood
• Denis blushing
• Saturday-morning-TV crew giggles
• cinema dates, £30 tickets, and bougie popcorn
• Everyman cinema beds, pizzas and £7 sweets
• George Clooney ruining movie intros with his broken Nespresso ad
