WHY ARE YOU A DOSE?

WHY ARE YOU A DOSE?

Darren manages to gain access to McCooey's Fortress of Solitude to record the latest episode. We answer a few Instagram questions, and chat nonsense while Ollie the dog flashes his anus at us intermittently.

Good boy.

TOO SKIMPY FOR PATREON

TOO SKIMPY FOR PATREON

Darren and Lianne wrongly think that 19 minutes constitute a viable offering as a Patreon episode, and given that 13 of those minutes are Lianne talking about Liberty X, that's a real cheek altogether.

So here's another freebie!

Follow our socials and get involved - tell us what you want to hear and we'll get to work on it.

Thanks again guys!

Stay tuned to see this whole thing unravel in front of your eyes/ears, but it'll get slicker every episode 🔥

The Tenth One - How to Make a Balls of Business, but Gain Wisdom Along the Way

The 7th One: Wedding Bellends

A lovely chat with the Viral Sensation of NI - Mr Paddy Raff, sometimes known as Nigel. We talk about starting out in stand-up, creepy wedding songs; and I bookend the chat by talking shit about LuvBug, djing at a wedding myself, and why I resent being asked to weddings in the first place.

The Second One

The Second One

What would you write in a letter to your 15 year old self? McCooey has a few ideas, but drinking a bottle of Pinot Grigio before recording makes monologues hard to follow.
