This week, Denis and Mark kick things off with a very serious investigation into the gutters (yes, those ones), the anatomy of thirst traps, and why Mark is suddenly wearing a very small Manchester United jersey. Then it’s on to festive drama: Denis’ roommate brings home a real Christmas tree that looks like “two feet tall and four feet wide,” sparking a full discussion on fat trees, skinny spikes, counter-top decorating and the long-running Christmas tree wars in Ennis. Elsewhere, Mark battles through a rainy Monday tour with one loudly problematic tourist who insists on calling him British, while his silent wife and mortified daughter form a Greek chorus of despair. Denis argues for a legally sanctioned “one day a year” where you’re allowed to tell someone to feck off without consequences.And then:Denis accidentally gets himself into a gay flirtation on the streeta woman in front responds by turning it into a competitive runwaythe world’s most stressful restaurant bathroom key systemthe moment Mark explains the subtle technique known as “reversing into someone” in a gay barWeekly queer/straight comedy, Irish nostalgia and two men trying to understand flirting, football jerseys and festive decor all at once.Hit Follow — your Internet Boyfriends are backing in gently.
