I could only watch that at 1x speed on the website so here’s a YouTube link for anyone like me.

Ah yeah totally fair. To each their own.

I did live in a city centre once a long time ago but I’d definitely be keeping the earplugs in all night if I were you now!

Yeah fair enough. I’m not using them in a work environment. I’m happy if I get an extra 20 minutes of sleep in the morning when all the noise from the teenage grooming starts. Sometimes it’s 40.

It sounds ridiculous but it all adds up.

I grew up in the arse end of nowhere so any noise at all wakes me.

Those foam ones are really irritating after a while. Your local chemist may sell “mouldable silicone” ones that are cheap, better at sound isolation and way more comfortable. You basically just mash them into your ear and they form a perfect seal.

I use them every night.

Travelled back in time and the past is shite.

Yeah that part did stick with me too. For what it’s worth I’d say most Irish adults have been to the US at some point and had a great time so it’s all quite a bit of confusion and horror.

We know right well that there are lots of really good folks there too though and Michael does a great job of portraying that in the clip.

He’s a good lad. We’re all very fond of him.

He’s a super lad but you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. This is one of my all time favourite bits of radio where he absolutely eviscerates someone against Obamacare at the time.

It’s from 2010 and 4 minutes long. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough that everyone who reads this gives it a listen.

Some light swearing at the end.

You can check the wallet to see if you have the bitcoin address.

Almost certainly. Maybe it tastes nice. Not something I’d be rushing to try mind you.

Hahahaha. “Oh my god that was like an anthem for the IRA”. Brilliant. Thanks.

When he is funny that man is absolutely hilarious. I haven’t seen that one but I’m assuming he pulled it off?

I’ve never seen those for sale here for what it’s worth.

I have heard of black and tan drink before which I believe is half Guinness half beer / ale but I’ve never had one or seen one ordered.

Couldn’t take my eyes off her. KFC should hire her for advertising. I can get the smell of want off her from the far side of the Atlantic.

It’s an analogue of the same subreddit which was spawned on reddit after “momforaminute” became very popular over there. I used to contribute on the dad one on reddit and I’m just a contributor making folks aware of the one here rather than being a mod or anything.

Also, I suppose kids come to different parents for different areas of advice and / or differing relationships with their parents. Certainly that’s the case with my own kids.

I also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both?

I don’t see any reason why not but again I’m not the mod.

edit: I do recall quite a few of the folks asking for help or advice being ones who had grown up without a dad and they felt a certain loss in that regard so were reaching out from that perspective. Also people whose father had died and they used to go to them for advice in a specific area.

Beyond calls and texts I’m very selective with my YouTube “bell” subscriptions so I allow notifications there as I generally want to watch them.

Calendar. Banking apps. That’s it.

All notifications are silent and have been forever. If it’s important someone will call me, otherwise I don’t want my phone to interrupt what I’m doing.

I used to contribute to that on Reddit. Might be worth trying to revive and post on here about if you have the time to mod it still.

The Mission 1986.

I dunno. Apparently she’s the daughter of a wealthy man who just needs my help to get his fortune out of Poland.

Got my one today. Finally part of the gang.

Has anyone actually bothered engaging?

I think that about sums it up
