Descripción

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur & Donal Podcast… Arthur’s entered his farmer era, and Donal has questions. From photoshoots in fields to getting way too up close with cows (yes, including a surprise cow-tongue “massage”), things take a bizarre turn as they dive into what we actually eat from a cow… and Donal confirms: pretty much everything 👀 But what starts as farm chat quickly spirals into something bigger. If you won the lotto, where would you go? Easy: holiday! Except… with the fuel crisis disrupting air travel, is that even realistic anymore? They break down what’s happening with flights right now and why more people are ditching trips abroad for staycations in Ireland. Plus, their top spots to visit around the country. Then, a more serious note. The lads react to the news that the iconic St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is set for a major revamp, and people are not happy. Donal shares childhood memories tied to the Dublin landmark, while Arthur reflects on experiencing it for the first time after moving to Ireland. Is this the end of an era? 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. What do you think about the changes, and are staycations the new normal? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

99 Cones, AI Chatbots & Climbing Everest

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Ireland is finally getting a taste of summer, and Arthur and Donal have thoughts. From zoo trips and outrageously priced 99 cones to the nation collectively losing its mind over a bit of sunshine, the lads unpack all the hilarious little things Irish people do the second the temperature rises. But things take a turn when a chat about voice notes spirals into a full deep dive on AI, technology and the future of how we live. Donal reveals his latest obsession with AI chatbot Claude, leading to a fascinating conversation about artificial intelligence, new tech, how fast the world is changing and whether we should all be slightly terrified. They also chat about the youngest Irish person ever to summit Mount Everest and ask the important question: could either of them survive climbing the world’s tallest mountain? Expect laughs, chaos, hot takes, Irish humor, AI chat, summer madness and the kind of conversation that feels like catching up with your funniest friends.

RIP.ie Romance & The Airport Pint Ban

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Arthur is fresh from the BAFTAs, while Donal spills behind-the-scenes secrets from filming his brand new cooking show, and that’s only the beginning. The lads dive into one of Ireland’s most viral stories right now: has RIP.ie become the country’s newest dating app? A condolence message attempting to reconnect with a former flame has the internet divided, and Arthur and Donal have plenty to say about it. They also tackle the growing debate around Michael O’Leary’s proposal to ban early morning airport drinks. Should pre-flight pints be restricted at Dublin Airport and beyond? Would it actually stop disruptive passengers… or ruin the holiday buzz for everyone else? From viral Irish drama to airport pints, BAFTA stories and behind-the-scenes chaos, this episode has it all. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation, because everyone in Ireland will be talking about this one! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

From Howth Seagulls to Sephora Kids

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Donal is fresh off filming his new TV show and ready to unpack a bizarre story he can’t stop thinking about… a seagull screeching competition. As a Howth native, he has plenty to say about the increasingly bold (and slightly terrifying) local seagulls, while Arthur compares it to his completely different upbringing in Armenia. The conversation takes a turn into the world of skincare, as Arthur welcomes new warnings aimed at parents buying products for young kids. As a dad of two girls, he’s passionate about protecting young skin and knowing exactly what’s in your routine. Donal admits he loves skincare too… but still feels awkward shopping for makeup. Arthur isn’t having it. Times have changed, and men wearing makeup is nothing to be embarrassed about. Plus, they dive into the Met Gala, sharing their favourite looks and imagining what they’d wear if they ever scored an invite. 👉 From chaotic seagulls to skincare trends and red carpet dreams: this episode has it all! Listen now, follow the podcast, and don’t forget to share it with a friend. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
