36 Episodes

52 minutes | Mar 10, 2021
#36 Cormac Looby: Clonmel's Got Talent and The Suzuki Method
The Athenry Junction Podcast, the podcast equivalent of Iarnród Éireann. Rarely on time, uncomfortable, and smells a little bit. The podcast gets over the mid-30's hump as the boys try and rearrange the furniture on the Titanic to try and give themselves some credibility. This week, the boys are joined by immensely talented Co. Tipperary Singer/Songwriter and all round sound man Cormac Looby. Cormac discusses the how he has navigated the pandemic, how his songs are forged into existence, and why Japanese Fart Music will be the sound of 2021. Padraig reminisces on the boys old band 9 Ideas, while Cormac calls Dylan out for name-dropping. Daire also ponders why Cormac hates him.

#35 Caolán Walsh: Exhausted and Satiated
The Athenry Junction Podcast, the podcast equivalent of driving a Nissan Micra round the Nurburgring. You may not make it to the end but you'll have a story to tell atleast. This week, the boys decided to open open the door to the echo chamber of sadness, and despite the smell of farts and mouldy Boojum wrappers, Caolán Walsh walked in and began to put his thoughts inside us. Friend of the Show™ Caolán makes his long-waited debut on the Athenry Junction Podcast, discussing the return of the Boom and its implications for terraforming Mars, the works of Carl Jung, and assisted by Dylan brings us a spectacular TWTBWS on Adrenochrome. Daire puts on record the influence of the TAJP on worldwide crypto prices. Wish.com makes its much anticipated return in a blaze of incoherence and poorly translated Mandarin thanks to Padraig, while The Mandela Effect and Shane McGowan's Chronic Orthodontal Hydroplosion also get a doing. Ye might want to wear a Johnny for this one.

#34 A Pomeranian called Ultan
Dylan and Padraig tog out in a two man full forward line as Daire has enough sense to take a break from this every now and again. This week, Padraig reminisces on an unhealthy energy drink addiction and Dylan tells people not to cook themselves in "That's what the boys were saying". Daft Punk, Justice for Jack Carty, and the post-Covid landscape all get a looking at. It's a scattered one this week.
57 minutes | Feb 8, 2021
#33 The "As Auld as Jesus" Special
The under-funded live action muppet show that is this podcast crawls into it's mid-thirties and has all the battle scars to show it. The boys wonder where it all went wrong as they lose the diesel money for the week investing in DogeCoin. Padraig gets nostalgic about Pimp My Ride, Dylan can't quite figure out how the internet works and questions the Irish Rugby Team selection*, and Daire pokes a few holes in the alleged work of a child genius. *These comments have aged very very well.

#32 He was eating gravy with his hands
The Connacht Snap, Crackle and Pop are back again this week to numb the torture of existence with another hour of absolute manure chat. Dylan gets very detailed on the diet of strongman Eddie Hall, Padraig gets all Stephen King when discussing the impact of lockdown on his local pubs, and Daire considers who'd he get a bating from for a few pound.
49 minutes | Jan 13, 2021
#31 Die dog or shite the license
The malnourished, 3 legged, covid-riddled collie pup that is this podcast stumbles its way into a fourth calendar year. The three bucks are back to confuse and annoy the listener once more. Padraig gets introspective about small talk, Daire delivers a sad piece of news relating to the fuel prices, and Dylan chairs the first meeting of the Mec Lir fan club, as the boys get scientific about their latest album, "LiveWire"

#30 Unleaded Guinness and Alien Crabs
The slatted house of the internet gets emptied out, and the contents spread evenly across the field of your mind once again. Dylan and Padraig are back once again after a lockdown break. The boys get through a mealbag of messages, Dylan ponders if we should all give up the drink and Padraig gets all patriotic about Supermac's. The new Skoda Octavia ad, laxative cigarettes and Mayo's relentless march to another All-Ireland all get a mention. Listen to it with your head.

#29 A Mona Lisa fillet roll
The three boys take a much more considered approach to emptying the compost bin of the internet onto the the fresh linen of the minds of the listener. Dylan is back from doing humanitarian work in Aghamore to complete the trio again. This week, the lads get a bit graphic regarding some off-lable use of microwaves, and crunch the numbers and legal ramifications of consuming priceless art. Padraig goes full mental for wish, Dylan goes down mineshaft of a rabbit hole for the TWTBWS section as it makes it's unwanted return, and Dáire is a little abrupt with the fuel prices.
63 minutes | Oct 5, 2020
#28 What's Ketamine is Ketayours
The boys are back this week with a other tonne bag of verbal acid reflux, spewing all over our SM-57s, through the Sennheisers of our listeners and into their brains, corroding and dissolving their last sense of normality. Dáire and Padraig complete the two man full forward line this week as Dylan is away working for Trocaire in Ballycroy. Dáire talks about scauldy house parties in Westside, Padraig brings up the world's strongest Kerry accent, and they boys get delerious over the mind-blowing synergy of the Bundee Aki/Odlum's flour partnership. The unspoken sameness of Irish "Staycations" gets a doing, along with the return of Daire's petrol and diesel price update.

#27 South Sligo Rogering and the Binson Echorec
The DPF on the Peugeot 307 diesel engine of the internet gets emptied out once more as Padraig and Dylan finally get to record a twist in the same room. After getting past the oddness of not recording over Zoom, the boys get down to the serious business of 1960's mixing plug-ins, the lousiness of the National Broadcaster and once again get surreal over the Island of Achill.
64 minutes | Jul 13, 2020
#26 Give me 20 Rothmans
The boys are back after an unenforced break to poison the minds of the good folk of the internet. Dylan discusses the deification of former Connacht Rugby player, Padraig gets all analytical about US Postal, and Daire feels hurt, betrayed, and hurt by Circle K in Kilcolgan. The boys also discuss pints in the Covid Era, the specificity of cigarettes and a new fundraising pyramid scheme.
71 minutes | Jun 8, 2020
#25 A gin bar in Bellaghy
The quarter century has been hit in typically amateur fashion. Special guest Romy Madden togs out wing-back to bring some sort of order to things. Dáire attempts to do Agony Can't, Padraig bends the laws of physics with the Wish section, and Dylan gets A N G R Y about the RTE player. The gang also discuss the lifting of lockdown, jocking lads in school and Brian Cranston's poor taste in fictional women.

Podcans I: The Soundness World Cup and Black Market Mass Cards
The first of an even less ordered and structured podcast series from the boys at TAJ Podcast. Home from work, open a tin, fire up the podcast machine and record the manure that results. Less editing means an uncut hour of drunken shitetalk. The boys talk about who would be in the last-16 of the soundness world cup, Daire goes international with the diesel prices, and the bucks wonder where mass cards actually come from....
40 minutes | May 25, 2020
#24 Abnormal People and the load-bearing bottle of mayonnaise
The boys are officially out of craic this week, and start to go a bit daft as a result. Dylan upsettingly ponders the possibility of not having a pint until Christmas, Daire talks about condiment issues, and Padraig loses it (at last) as he becomes a bit meta when describing this week's Wish deal. We're sorry everyone, but it's come to this.
53 minutes | May 11, 2020
#23 Frankie Gavin is only a few yards from Beyoncé
Dylan and Padraig dial in of a Sunday morning to fill in a gap that wasn't really there. Due funding cuts, supply chain issues and a chronic lack of organization, none of the usual sections are in this week, so the boys have to fill in with an even lower grade of dung than usual. A bitter hatred of plug-in lawn mowers, and a passionate love for Jacob Collier are the themes for the day.
47 minutes | May 5, 2020
#22 The Big Serpent Head on Him
The boys are back after a 2 week break to bring ye more of the usual from the septic tank out the back of the internet. We have massive news from the world of fuel prices, Padraig becomes unhinged about Wish.com and Dylan gets a bit triggered, again. Magic beaches near Renmore, DPF issues and TAJPs own Social Network situation get a torch shone on them too.

#21 Praying that Ashton Kutcher would come round the corner
Ireland's Favourite Three Men and a Nurse are back with another round bale of fermented Martin-Joe Sweeney. Working from home and not being in contact with other less maladjusted members of society was cause for a more subdued and disjointed podcast this week. Our resident man on the streets, Daire Canavan, brings some big news from one of his world tours of Remore, Dylan brings us a tale of Greyhound fillet burger and Padraig gets excited over a frog. Dogs in Zoom meetings, Fat dogs, Rasher Socks, Meatless Meatball Marinara causing COVID and the Netflix Fireplace also get mentioned.

#19 What will they drive in Shrule?
The worst noise since the invention of sound is back, Coronavirus be damned. Niamh and Daire are back to shore up the half-back line of Verbal Diarrhoea FC along with Dylan and Padraig. Padraig introduces some mind-blowing deals from Wish.com, Daire gives some cutting-edge, economic analysis of the prices of diesel and petrol that none of us really need to buy anymore, and Dylan melts our heads with short review of Altered Carbon. We do eventually cover the current pandemic/lockdown situation, as for the first time ever we take things seriously, as Niamh kindly tells the reality of being a nurse in the middle of the panic. Donald Glover, the legendary bout between Kathleen Hughes and Matt, and "Rate My" pages all get a doing.
52 minutes | Mar 9, 2020
#18 Keyboard Cat was an alcoholic
This week, dark past of our favourite childhood friends gets unearthed by Padraig, some hot takes on the origin of Covid-19 are cooked up, and Dylan profiles a cult hero of the GAA. The boys put on their hurling helmets and run straight through the metaphorical looking glass.
65 minutes | Mar 2, 2020
#17 Firing out the Communion with a Nerf Gun
Dylan and Pádraig are back with another episode of third division anal verbosity. Dylan and Padraig give some sound immunological advice in light of the recent Coronavirus outbreak, discuss their preferred style of pancake, and get all literary. A Pogues' trip to Brazil, and a Joe Rogan trip to Castleplunkett also get a mention.
