Before anything else — we’re hitting pause for a month. Scheduling has finally caught up with us, so we’re taking a short break, but don’t worry… we will be back soon.

In the meantime, Imran’s latest out-of-context moment involves spotting something deeply unexpected sitting inside a vending machine — the kind of discovery that makes you question both reality and snack logistics. Shaun, meanwhile, deals with the genuine tragedy of a hand injury stopping him from properly playing guitar, including one of his own songs, proving that sometimes the smallest injuries feel the most personal.

Our Topic of the Week is Performative Males — unpacking modern masculinity, social media personas, and the difference between authenticity and performance when everyone feels slightly aware of being watched.

In pop culture and current affairs, we talk through the newly announced EP lineup, the possibility of Katie Taylor fighting her retirement bout in Croke Park, and discussions around Dublin potentially hosting a future UEFA Champions League Final.

We close things out, as always, with Your Distance Dilemmas — your stories, your voice notes, and our last bit of chaos before the short break.

See you soon.

An unexpected gift linked to Pakistan leaves Imran wondering how to react appropriately, while Shaun’s attempt at trying a new gym is immediately overshadowed by a giant mural of Conor McGregor that doesn’t quite provide the motivation he was hoping for.

From there, we get into the small but very real rivalries we all carry with us in "Things We Secretly Compete Against Other People For"; the silent comparisons, personal scoreboards, and unspoken competitions nobody admits to but everyone understands.

On the pop culture and current affairs side, we talk about the Irish government finally reaching a package deal after two weeks of protests over fuel prices, before Shaun shares his first thoughts on the reboot of Malcolm in the Middle and whether nostalgia should sometimes be left alone.

And as always, we finish with Your Distance Dilemmas — your messages, your situations, and our completely unofficial advice.

This week starts exactly where you’d expect, slightly confused and already off track. Imran finds himself at a Swiss reggae concert questioning how he got there, while Shaun is forced into emergency DJ damage control after a very questionable Sabrina Carpenter song comes on with his granny sitting beside him in the car.

We get into our Topic of the Week, Utter Woke Nonsense; unpacking modern debates, online outrage, and the moments where nobody’s entirely sure what’s serious anymore.

In pop culture and current affairs, we talk fuel-shortage protests happening across Ireland, the Wireless Festival controversy involving Kanye West, and the run of upcoming movies we’re actually excited about (for once).

We finish, as always, with Your Distance Dilemmas, your stories, your problems, and our completely unqualified solutions.
