Episode 25: FILP Top 10 Greatest Irish Sportspeople (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ireland has produced some unbelievable sportspeople. The problem is, we now have to agree on the greatest ten of all time. And this debate got so heated that Aaron somehow managed to pull his hamstring mid-episode 😂 We attempt to create the definitive FILP Top 10 Greatest Irish Sportspeople across boxing, football, rugby, golf, horse racing, athletics, cycling, GAA, snooker and more. But what actually makes someone the greatest? Is it medals and trophies? Dominance? Longevity? International reco
Episode 24: Return of the TEDI 2: They'd Never Get Away With That Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Six months after our first Return of the TEDI episode, we're heading back to the TV, films and adverts of the 80s and 90s, including quite a few we somehow left out the first time. Friends, Father Ted, Glenroe, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Baywatch, ALF, Bosco, Wanderly Wagon and the Milk Tray Man all come under review as we decide what still works, what has aged surprisingly well and what hasn't a hope of being made today. We also remember when television was genuinely a shared experience: Italia
Episode 23: The Things We Secretly Judge People For (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone says they don't judge people... but we all do. In this episode, we're confessing the harmless, petty and occasionally completely irrational things that make us quietly judge other people.

Where do you draw the line? We play "Petty or Fair?", before asking whether we've actually become more judgemental as we've go
Episode 22: Things We Couldn't Live Without That Didn't Exist 20 Years Ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty years ago, we somehow survived without smartphones, Google Maps, WhatsApp, contactless payments and high-speed broadband... How did we manage? In this episode, we look at the modern conveniences that have quietly become essential to everyday life and ask whether they've actually made things easier—or just made us completely dependent on them. What do younger people completely take for granted? What modern habit would have sounded ridiculous 20 years ago? And what old-school ways of doing
Episode 21: 20 Episodes Later… Are We Any Wiser? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty episodes ago, four middle-aged Irish friends decided the world needed another podcast...Were we right? In this episode, we look back at what we've learned, not just about podcasting, but about each other, friendship, and navigating middle age. What have we learned about podcasting and each other? Who prepares the most? Who's most likely to get us cancelled accidentally? What have we learned about being middle-aged that genuinely surprised us? We play "Guess What She Said", where we have t
