A mic dies mid-show, Justin rushes his son to A&E, Colm relives a live-radio disaster, and Rebecca serves a DM about the friend who never, ever pays. From a Chris Evans moment at CarFest to a debate on control (do we have any?), this episode is messy, honest, and very human.
What you’ll hear:
- Chris Evans at CarFest and fame up close
- The hospital scare (mystery illness, dropping platelets, real fear)
- Colm’s on-air giveaway that went horribly wrong
- The “tight mate” dilemma — call it out or cut them loose?
- Why men often keep smaller friend circles (and what to do about it)
