Ed and Cara hold an emergency podcasting session to talk about what seems on the surface to be a PR distaster at best, a deep conspiracy involving cover ups and revenge killings with a sprinkling of affairs and photoshopping at worst. The truth is somewhere in between maybe. Does this signal the beginning of the end for the British monarchy? Listen in to find out!

Ed and Cara went to the movies and saw the now billion dollar Barbie movie! What did they think about it? Listen and find out, it's a very mild to no spolier discussion on the merits of this unique film. Ed then runs through the top movies coming from the Mattel slate of films in development and whether they seem like excellent cinematic opportunities or just weird intellectual property cash ins. Enjoy!

Hey Sammon Skins, welcome to the new season of the show where I will be talking to other human people instead of to myself and/or characters I'm playing, which is also to myself. The first batch of episodes features conversations with my favourite person in the world, Cara Murphy, my wife and Mother of our tiny human boy. The concept for the podcast came from our first date, where I was so nervous I didn't ask Cara any questions an...

Poor old Lizzy, the Queen of England, has popped her clogs and they are now being worn by Charles. Some people have very strong feelings about her death, grown men who look like the kind of tough east end of London types are crying over her passing. Are they brainwashed? Am I through the quality of the Crown series? Or m I simply casually indifferent which I have learned can be a dangerous thing in this day and age of the hot take....

It's coming closer to the end of this podcast in it's current form as I realise halfway through telling my story about my first ever trip abroad to Amsterdam that I've mentioned it before on the pod. It's full of extra detail and I talk about my trip to Morocco also which is new. Anyway, there are also some songs and some excellent impressions of Tom Jones as the rambling off the top of my head pods are coming to an end. What's nex...

It's a New Year and things are looking cautiously optimistic, maybe. I've been living with Covid as Cara tested positive on Christmas Eve and myself and baby Luke soon after so it's been a stressful one. Also, Super Valu never delivered our turkey so we had ham for Christmas. Not ideal but I got to watch some things and will give you my review of them as well as my top ten Christmas treats and a couple of festive songs to ring in t...

This week I mention Bressie again in the opening improvised theme tune lyrics along with Ryan Turbridy and I go into a long explanation as to why I don't really have much time for either of them and recount the time I watched a newsreader in his underwear and walked past a car that had actor Richard Gere in the "hallowed" halls of the national broadcaster. There's also some rapping and a really bad impression of Sly Stallone being ...

This week I'm hungover and soaking in the lake of my life memories and briefly slagging off Bressie in the process before having a rapping old time and dissecting the very existence of Santa Claus and my loss of innocence as a child when I discovered he wasn't real. It's also the season for seasonal sandwiches which sometimes contain controversial ingredients. There's a podcast recommendation and various asides. Enjoy! x

This week I lay down some knowledge about what gruel is exactly as Luke joins me briefly to chew on things and be sampled for a bit of hip hop. I'm wandering the streets with sacks of dirty clothes and I explain why grating carrots is not like grating carriages and old friend of the podcast Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees calls in to talk about his very Bee Gee centric Halloween and write the theme tune for the as yet unmade horror film...

This week's episode features lots of random rambles and some almost factually correct improv raps about French mermen and Paris monuments. The passive aggressive swimming instructor sage continues, I talk about Star Wars for a few minutes and imagine how the Sith and the Jedi would behave on social media plus some live stand up comedy from me in The Comedy Crunch from just last week with post gig heckling stories and other tales fr...

It's post Halloween if you know what I mean, I'm making inappropriate jokes when trick or treaters are on the scene, I'm trying to bust rhymes while babies scream, I'm crossing over the Liffey as I'm back on the stand up scene. Also the corona isn't going away but that's no reason to be sneezing this season. All this plus extra bad rhyming and a song with no lyrics for you to complete possibly. Enjoy!

This week's episode is all bout spooky things and real scary things. Why was one of the actors in the Exorcist actually kind of cursed? Is it the scariest film of all time? What's the deal with my old clothes from the 90's and how come there are no ghosts from recent times? Also, there's a story about my personal ghost hunting in Scotland and a freestyle rap from Simon the friendly vampire (but not too friendly). Enjoy!

As it's getting closer to Halloween I delve into the supposed curses that have been appropriated with certain movies and the myths around others in the wake of the tragic on set death on the Alec Baldwin starring western "Rust". An opening theme song improv reminds me of a questionable set of lyrics in an old 80's classic and I have an incident or two at a baby swimming class. All this plus my sure fire baby book idea! Enjoy.

It's an extra episode that you could have every Sunday if you wanted to as it's direct from my Patreon page! I'm reacting to the Batman trailer that just dropped like a hot potato with a superhero carved into it's face and the Flash trailer that also features more Batmen. It's a bat bonanza! Also, I ponder if Sean Connery could ever play Batman and talk about algorithms and demographics and how we don't fall over physical copies of...

This episode sees me just ranting in a nice way about the proliferation of negative vibes online and how it can blind you to what you may actually enjoy. I talk about how George Lucas and others have their fingers on the pulse of the Zeitgeist and go through the recent Wonka prequel announcement and the Ghostbusters sequel reactions. Plus, a snippet of Cocaine City, a soap opera that does not exist. Enjoy!
