DM me for any info on December 13th. Please set alarms for 10am on Friday. There will be no extra shows added, this is a once off event. I give you my word. The live roast of Mark Mehigan is only happening once and that is a guarantee. Happy Christmas.

ALSO - ANY TIPS REGARDING TODAY'S EP? (FORGIVE THE PUN). What do we think?

Probably the most fun we've ever had with a guest. For somebody who takes nutrition very seriously, Sophie is an unbelievably good sport and well able to endure a bit of roasting without taking it to heart. She is an absolute legend. But somehow, doesn't know what a spice bag is! Her new book is available everywhere and part two of her new doc is out next Monday on Rte One at 9:35pm.

That's curtains I think. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Aside from possessing the title of mid 90s rag you'd find ignored in your local GP'S waiting room, this shocking story was sent into us by a listener last week. More people are leading double lives in Ireland and dating apps have bizarrely made it easier. Although, I would have thought the opposite tbh? Nevertheless.. let us know if you've encountered similar.

When Destiny Ayo Vaughan was five years old, she narrowly avoided a forced childhood marriage with a men in his twenties, only to be trafficked into Ireland from Nigeria. She was subsequently abused by her own biological mother before being taken into care. Her story is one of bravery in the face of abject cruelty. Destiny has since created Mind The Gap - a platform for SA survivors to support each other. It was an honour to have her on the show and I will remember this conversation for the rest of my life.

IMPORTANT - Destiny's story contains harrowing details her experiences of child abuse, so listeners should be mindful that this is not an easy listen at times. I think it's the most important conversation we've ever had on the show, but really worth letting you know in advance that some of these details are frightful and likely to evoke a very emotional reaction.

To vote for Destiny to win Miss Ireland, you have to download this app. Aside from that being an insane inconvenience and ludicrous by whomever is running Miss Ireland, we do believe it's the least we can do to support Destiny. Let's help her bring it home guys. Download app here and vote for her.

I feel fairly strongly about this. Interested to know what you all think. Some of the story has had to be removed in order to protect the identity of the caller and of course, the TD. The voice has been RADICALLY altered to avoid any accent detection. Any comments mentioning particular TDs or friends' identities will be sent into the abyss. Comments on the poo, more than welcome.

This week is genuinely doing more for modern day insanity than those videos of people queueing to get into shopping centres on Black Friday. I can't decide which story is my favourite. Either way, all of the madness is forming a major part of the plans we have for December 13th...

Any stories? Any suffering? Any roasts? Any thoughts? Hit me up: https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Genuinely not for the faint hearted. And we will say no more than that.
