  • Nobody cares about NASA?!
    Apr 24 2026

    The builders discuss the Artemis 2 mission and the public’s strange obsession with mundane space failures, such as malfunctioning toilets and broken email systems. The group critiques the mission's lackluster media coverage, jokingly suggesting that NASA should pivot to a reality TV format featuring "first orgasms in space" or "confessional booths" to regain global interest.

    So now the question is: are these bits… or career-ending decisions?

    Tell us what we should try and what should absolutely never leave this podcast.

  • How to stop Ireland!?
    Apr 20 2026

    The builders brainstorm stand-up material and sketches centered on the surreal nature of Donald Trump's public persona, including his portrayal as a religious figure. The conversation shifts to local Irish news, specifically the irony of farmers and hauliers using tractor blockades to protest rising fuel prices by cutting off the country's fuel supply.
