Superstar Irish comedian and goodest of fwends, David O'Doherty asks a Fwend Question! Plus we spend a good deal of time discussing bad hair cuts, and - unrelated - Georgia has accidentally dyed her hair the same colour as Rhys. It's Fwends!

Georgia has done her show, Rhys is tired, and Kyran has no idea how to use a hair dryer. Between the waxing talk and the blow drying technique, this is a very hair-based mail bag. It's FWENDS!

Rhys went gay cruising, Fred ask another qwarterly qwestion and Georgia pissed into a bottle. I think that just about covers it? It's FWENDS!

Well would you looky looky at that we're best of 2025! Much excitement in Fwends camp and we completely forgot to talk about it until the end. Before that your mailbags, some chats, and Hopkins is on the pod. Enjoy!

On today's episode, award-winning songwriter, star of stage and screen, veritable national treasure, and good fwend of fwends, Kate Miller-Heidke, asks a Fwend Question! We're still feeling awkward about recording in the same room, then have the profound realisation that a couuupl'a wiiiiines might go down a real treat. And just when you thought Rhys Nicholson couldn't get any more loveable, we give you their "thinking" playlists...

Um excuse me, are our Fwends in the same room?!

Yes, while taking a break from a recording new Fwend interviews in London (!!!) Kyran, Rhys and George record a little mail bag that as usual, involved very, very little mail. Everyone is tired and George recently had food poisoning. It's what you'd imagine. FWENDS!
