An Obituary for Health Binge
Jun 9, 202100:29:08Tap to summarizeIn the ultimate episode of Health Binge, we are graced with Adam's gross bodily noises before he attempts to shit on anyone who wants to go on holidays and people just trying to have a bit of fun. The boys ponder about whether the world is getting stupider and enjoy an amusing anecdote about a man falling off a car. Adam conflates consumerism with capitalism while Stephen takes a harsh view of customers dictating the market. Adam then proceeds to stink up the grand finale with a curious obituary for Tom Hanks.

Sarawak Laksa & Chili Sambal
Jun 2, 202100:26:15Tap to summarizeAlleged comedian Stephen fails to buy vermicelli noodles and beansprouts and makes a whole song and dance about it. Once the boys’ funny bones recovered from a true corker of a joke, conversation in this episode turned to public drinking laws in Ireland and their potential postcolonial and Catholic influences. How will the government’s remote work roadmap lead to better pizza in Kilkenny? Is a deep dish pizza a savoury cheesecake? Find out the answer to all these questions and more!

Adam Labours a Joke
May 26, 202100:28:00Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Adam chooses to express himself through the prism of his expertise in Eurovision before choosing to s**t all over football players for expressing emotion. The conversation turns to this week's forced landing of a plane in Belarus before a long consideration is given to Swiss-Liechtensteinian relations. The boys also discussed, as you would expect from any health podcast, Napoleon's 100 days.

Hitler’s Art & the Greatest Irish Person
May 19, 202100:30:37Tap to summarizeFor fans of continuity, here’s yet another week where fitness is strictly off the menu. Instead, we’re big on culture and brain learnin’ of all kinds! From modern pop gossip about Ben Affleck creeping into the DMs of celebs and civilians alike to Stephen’s admiration – nay adoration! – of one Adolf Hitler by way of popular public speech patterns through the ages. Also in this week’s episode, Adam’s unified Geldof’s Law theory and conversation on the greatest Irish person of all time (spoiler: it isn’t Stephen’s Austrian crush).

The Post-Pre Conundrum
May 12, 202100:31:31Tap to summarizeIn an episode some might describe as erratic, Adam reminisces about his long lost fringe of old, terrible films, pole dancers he’s seen dancing, and trousers with crotches that have seen better days. Stephen brings up quantum leap an underrated show from the 80s and 90s, makes astute observations about Penney’s touts, and explains why MMA is less intimidating than boxing as a sport.

May 5, 202100:24:43Tap to summarizeAfter a bad week, Stephen books himself a holiday and looks forward to the loosening of restrictions in Ireland.

The Soccer Show with Stephen
Apr 28, 202100:33:39Tap to summarizeFootball, football, football!!! We cover it all: the Super League going tits up, Ryan Mason’s (Mourinho's replacement) unforgivable youth, and Spurs losing the Carabao Cup. All this and more before Adam lowers the tone to discuss sexy education. With laboured segues, the boys go on to talk about Simon Harris's TikTok, why Diageo could deliver vaccines, and how Daniel Radcliffe is a gas man.

The Ethics of Football and Corporate Socialism
Apr 21, 202100:27:50Tap to summarizeIt’s all football and fannies this week as Stephen and Adam do a deep dive on the announcement of the European Super League and Lidl’s new period poverty initiative. Is it fair and just to exclude teams with low cultural capital from elite sports leagues? Should private corporations stay away from duties governments should be leading the charge on? Isn’t this all just a pathetic way of avoiding talking about fitness? Find out in this week’s episode!

The Fall of Adam Leahy
Apr 14, 202100:29:14Tap to summarizeStephen returns from a week off work and dieting and gives the full lowdown on all the cocktails he's had. Adam thinks twice about eating a tumor, while Stephen reminisces about puking Jagermeister into his shoe. The mood turns to politics as the boys discuss new legislation that would allow you to ask if you can work from home. The episode then finishes up with Adam having a pop at a recently-deceased elderly man who's not even cold in the ground.

Right to Disconnect
Apr 7, 202100:28:44Tap to summarizeIt’s all things hairy this week as Stephen embraces his inner bushman and Adam opens up about the first time he shaved his head. The biggest focus of this week’s episode is the recent Right to Disconnect policy to be adopted in Ireland around working hours and a worker’s right to unhindered personal time outside of working hours. Also in this episode, Oscar watch 2021 and the glory of old man Gary Oldman.
