The Distance Dilemma

In this episode, the derailment begins before we’ve even settled in — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s curiosities arrive in two equally baffling flavours: Imran discovers that there’s an AI Jesus being trialled in Switzerland, sending him spiralling into questions about faith, technology, and whether salvation now comes with an algorithm. Meanwhile, Shaun finds himself deeply moved by a commemorative bi...

In this episode, the derailment begins before we’ve even settled in — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s curiosities arrive in two equally baffling flavours: Imran finds himself holding a baby for the very first time, rigid with the kind of terror usually reserved for defusing a bomb, while everyone around him insists he’s “a natural.” Meanwhile, Shaun is fake-orgasming in a Dunnes Stores car park for reas...

In this episode, the derailment begins before we’ve even settled in — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s curiosities arrive in two equally baffling flavours: Imran finds himself on the bus beside a man dressed head-to-toe in full samurai clothing, trying desperately to act normal while quietly wondering whether he’s about to witness a historical reenactment or a public transport fever dream. Meanwhile, Sha...

In this episode, the derailment begins before we’ve even settled in — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s curiosities arrive in two very different flavours: Imran sits down for his first-ever poker game, only to be completely derailed by watching Troy Parrott score for Ireland mid-hand, narrating the moment with such ecstatic disbelief you’d swear he’d just won the World Series of Poker. Meanwhile, Shaun fi...

In this episode, the derailment begins before we’ve even settled in — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s curiosities arrive in two very different flavours: Imran recounts the wholesome Irish gathering he had in a café, retelling it with such gentle pride that you’d think it were a national holiday. Meanwhile, Shaun finds himself ambushed with a pop-quiz on the appearance of Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpent...

In this episode, things take a turn almost immediately — welcome back to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios. This week’s questions are simple yet absolutely baffling: Why did Imran confidently pick Harambe as his celebrity of choice in a guessing game? And who thought it was a good idea to gift Shaun 36 toilet rolls — and why did he accept them so proudly?

Our Topic of the Week, takes a much more serious turn: what we’ve learned from ...

In this episode, we’re back after a month-long hiatus! It’s been a little while since you’ve heard from us, and we thought—what better way to return than by catching up and setting the stage for what’s next?

First up, Shaun’s fresh off a trip to Donegal, and he’s got nothing but love for it. From the stunning coastline to the peaceful vibes, it’s safe to say Donegal’s officially stolen his heart. Meanwhile, we’re chatting about the...

In this episode, we’re taking a breather, and what better way to do that than by reflecting on everything we’ve been through? First up, Imran’s heading back to college! After a bit of a gap, he’s diving into project management, and we’re all about those “back to school” vibes. The idea of textbooks, late-night study sessions, and group projects is both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. It’s a solid reminder of how much we’ve gr...

In this episode, things take a bit of a turn. We kick off with Imran nearly getting frauded—Instagram hacked, chaos unfolding—but thankfully, he managed to wrestle his account back. A wild ride, and a solid reminder to check those privacy settings.

Meanwhile, Shaun’s buzzing about his new car. Big upgrade vibes. But with that excitement comes a bittersweet farewell to Betsy—our beloved, slightly falling-apart car that’s been with u...

In this episode, we slow things down a bit. We chat about why all-inclusive holidays are just so good—unlimited food, zero stress, and the pure joy of not having to make a single decision. It’s the kind of travel we can actually get behind.

We also talk about how posters can completely transform a room. Whether it’s band art, movie classics, or something totally random, there’s something weirdly powerful about what you choose to ha...

In this episode, we slow things down a bit. We chat about some of the classic melters at the gym—you know the type—and the bizarre things we’ve seen people do while working out. It’s equal parts confusing and entertaining.

We also talk about what it’s like trying to practice in a band when one of the members is missing. Shaun gives his perspective on how the dynamic changes, and we reflect on how that affects the creative process.

In this episode, we slow things down a bit. We talk about the everyday routines that make up most of our lives—the repetitive nature of daily tasks; and we discuss how important finding personal space is while living with a partner (for all involved!)

We also say goodbye to our shared car, Betsy, who’s officially no longer roadworthy. She’s been through a lot with us, and while it’s just a car, it feels like the end of a chapter.

In this episode, we’re going off the rails a bit. First up—we pay our deeply unqualified respects to two absolute legends: Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. Yes, both of them. Yes, recently. Yes, we’re still processing. It’s a strange mix of “RIP, king” and “wait, wasn’t he already dead?” We talk about their iconic moments, the chaos they brought to the world, and how our childhoods are officially over now.

Then things take a turn—Shau...

In this episode, we’re getting personal—we’re talking about our weight loss journeys. Both of us have recently started taking it seriously, and we’ve had a lot of questions come in about how it’s going. So we’re sharing our experiences so far: what it’s like being in a calorie deficit for the first time, what’s been challenging, and what’s actually helping.

We talk through the mindset shift, the day-to-day changes, and the moments ...

In this episode, we’re diving into a more serious one—Why I Stayed in Ireland. We’ve been getting DMs and voice notes from listeners who’ve thought about packing up and leaving, but ultimately decided to stay put. So we’re unpacking all of that this week: the push and pull of emigration, the things that made people stay, and whether Ireland still has enough to offer.

No messing around this time—it’s strictly business. We chat about...
