This episode the lads dive into No Matter What. Reviewing the Boyzone documentary and reliving a moment in time where the UK fell in love with an Irish boyband.
A time when Irish lads ruled the charts and the UK couldn’t get enough. It didn’t matter where you were from, everyone was all in.
A great bunch of lads and a proper representation of the Irish underdog making their way to the top. We talk the hype, the impact and what it was like growing up in that era when Irish pop music was front and centre… even for the ones who now pretend they’ve never heard a single song!

School Days Over
In this episode, the lads look back at what it was like going to school as Irish Londoners.
From Catholic schools to Church of England, we talk about the differences, the characters and the things that just felt normal at the time. We also get into the English and Irish habits we picked up along the way and how the two cultures blended without us even realising.
We also look back on the teachers and dinner ladies we remember fondly, the ones who stood out and the small moments that have stayed with us over the years.
The everyday experiences that shaped and looking back now, it probably sounds mad… but to us, it was just life.

In this episode the lads look back at what it was like growing up in an Irish Londoners house.
From drinking pints of milk and going with your dad to work, to being left in the car and weekends spent around GAA pitches. A time when drink driving and no seat belts were just part of life, we relive the routines, the freedom and the little things that felt completely normal back then.
We didn’t know any different, it was just the way it was!

In this episode the lads look back at what summer holidays to Ireland really meant growing up.
From packing up the car ready for the family adventure, to the journeys on the boat and arriving somewhere that always felt like home, we share the memories, the routines and the moments that made those trips so special.
Looking back now, it’s hard to imagine wanting to go anywhere else in the world.

In this episode the lads put Ireland and England head to head in a completely unnecessary taste test.
From cups of tea to brown sauce, biscuits and a few questionable combinations, we sample our way through the foods that shaped us growing up. It’s part nostalgia, part chaos and definitely not one for the professional chefs.
Think Saturday Kitchen… but much, much worse.

St Patrick’s Day means different things depending on where you grew up and for Irish Londoners it always had its own sense of pride.
In this episode the lads look back at what St Patrick’s Day was like growing up outside Ireland. From childhood memories of school discos, shamrocks and proudly wearing the green, to the slightly more chaotic adult years when the Guinness started flowing a bit earlier in the day.
Along the way we talk about pride, stereotypes, family traditions and the strange feeling of celebrating Irishness while not actually living in Ireland.

This week the lads kick things off chatting about Andy’s book launch for Green Bloods, which of course involves a bit of storytelling, a few laughs and the usual chaos that seems to follow us wherever we go.
From there, the conversation drifts into a nostalgic look at how the Irish showed up on the British TV we all grew up watching. From soap characters and sitcom stereotypes to the odd moments where Irish life actually felt familiar, we look back at the accents, the personalities and the memories that shaped how a generation of Irish Londoners saw themselves on screen.
It’s a trip back to the living rooms of the 80s and 90s, when the telly was always on and the Irish accent could pop up in the most unexpected places. As always, it’s nostalgia, plenty of laughs and memories that Irish families all across the UK will recognise instantly.

This week we’re heading back to where many Irish childhood memories began… the church.
We’re talking going to Mass, making our First Holy Communion and the strange mix of holiness, boredom, fear and family pride that came with it.
From itchy shirts and uncomfortable shoes to rehearsed handshakes with priests and the quiet panic of wondering if you were about to commit a mortal sin by accident. We relive the rituals that shaped our younger years.
Expect nostalgia, questionable behaviour in the pews and the usual pub level nonsense.
Bless us Father… for we have absolutely no idea what we were doing.

In our debut episode, we properly introduce ourselves, where we grew up, where our families came from in Ireland and what it was like being raised in homes that were unmistakably Irish… despite being miles from Ireland.
Expect stories about family life, culture clashes, accents that never quite settled and of course the legendary boiled dinners that defined our childhoods.
This is where it all begins.
