Twas the night before Christmas and all through the studio, nothing was stirring apart from Darren and Joe.

Ahead of the arrival of the 26 fella, the boys take a whistful look back on some of their more memorable moments of the rolloercoaster that was 2025.

From Joe's hottest takes/hardest facts involving Brazilian aliens and the infamous bean juice shout to Darren's stratospheric climb up the greasy pole of fame they bid a fond fist bump to the year that was.

Joe and Darren meet at a Christmas convention but more on that later...

This week the boys bemoan the lack of options in Dublin for entertaining the kids and it seems bringing them to a graveyard isn't going to cut it and we're all in agreement that Christmas markets suck.

The conversation naturally turns to which A.I assistant would be the soundest to hang out with and Grok comes out very badly.

With it being the season we hear how Joe's Moira has made some 'interesting' choices whn it comes to the kids presents prompting joe to sweep down the chimney to save the day.

With the darts underway at Ally Pally we needless to say get to hear from Joe how 'easy' darts is. He's as regular as a Luke Littler triple 20 that fella.

In a follow-up to last week's unwrapping of the pod's uber listeners we hear some more startling stats from the 1% and the lads just about work out how much of their years are spent listening.

A listener question leads to a wholesome discussion of who's pee would be the best to drink should the situation arise and the rancid nature of dog farts gets an airing...so to speak.

Darren is a bit under weather, but it can’t hold us back for long. Joe has had a far more serious dose, and tells us how he had to make an emergency exit from a Saw Doctors gig.

There is suspicion cast on Joe’s latest tale of woe, and it’s leading to big questions about the truth of his entire back catalogue of curious misfortune.

We explore the world of forgotten school lunch sandwiches and hear about Joe's hugely boring tour of a national landmark.

Darren is getting brave talking about his edgy dreams, and also preparing for his role as Santa’s elf.

This week the lads hear a cautionary tale from listener who made a mortifying discovery as a child whilst searching for presents in her parents bedroom and the 2nd hand embarrasment leads to some extreme awkwardness in studio.

In more comfortable territory, Joe and Darren get to swap their pet people peeves and with the recent release of listener's Spotify Wrapped stats the boys are blown away by the results from two UBER fans.

We also get to hear about Joe's bizarre eating habits and Darren is suitably unimpressed.

In big news/a warning to road users Darren reveals the impressive results of his Driver Theory Test and in typical form, he managed to somehow wrangle a free eye test out of it.

It's Christmas party season and a glimspe of Pat Kenny in the wild soon descends into imaginary conversations with the great man at the work do and naturally, Christopher Walken presenting the Toy Show.

Joe has seen ANOTHER alien conspiracy theory documentary so prepare yourselves for some earth shattering revelations and the boys get into how A.I is going to essentially end the entertainment industry as we know it.

As regular listeners will know, our Joe has some pretty wild opinions and there's little more in life he loves more than using his platform to spout them out. Thankfully you lot are on hand to show him the error of his ways but the unthinkable happens this week...it turns out he's RIGHT about something. Yes one kind listenere with even more time on their hands finally settles the 'bean juice is ketchup' debate and muching crowing ensues.

Darren and Joe also get to suggest some brutal changes to I'm A Celebrity and it turns out Darren is ambidextrous....and not it doesn;t mean he's a dinosaur despite what he might think!

It's pod award season and whilst the lads came away empty handed, Joe won gongs for 'Most Underdressed' and 'Worst Prepared For The Free Bar' so that's something.

Joe's winning streak continues with a spectacular return on a Troy Parrott punt and he also gets to recount one of the great 'knew them before they were 'Ireland's national hero' stories in the process and poor Darren and reveals he was brutally trolled after attending the match.

Darren is ITCHING to get a call-up for I'm A Celebrity bit how can he get in? They work through the possible paths to the jungle for him.

Joe's preparing for the worst ahead of a parent teacher meeting and we hear about the creative use of a Frube to get sent home sick from school.

A question from a listener has them raiding the infamous RTE canteen for some regulars and in what must be a first for this podcast, Joe shows some humilty and asks for a joke to be bleeped.

It doesn't last long though as he gets rumbled causing absolute mayhem in the Phoenix park. Not his fault it seems.

Judge for yourselves.

Joe and Darren are on high alert! A certain rival podcast duo are wandering around outside ON THEIR PATCH and the boys are keeping a VERY watchful eye throughout this week's episode.

Speaking of keeping an eye out, Darren is parading a new pair of specs and he's delighted with himself. Although he is less delighted by the backhanded compliment Joe tries to pay him as a result.

Hollywood heartthrob Glen Powell rears his gorgeous head and things get awkward when Darren reveal's he's Amy's not so secret crush.

Joe recalls a recent press interview he had to do which isn't his finest moment behind the mic.
