The round table is set, the cloaks are ready, and this week Ben Donohue joins Meet in the Middle. A soldier in the Irish Defence Forces, a contestant on Traitors Ireland and for a time… a traitor. From a childhood in Dublin to life in the castle, Ben takes us inside a world where loyalty is fragile, suspicion spreads fast and breakfast could be your last meal at the table.

We uncover the secrets behind his spontaneous audition, the alliances he forged and the moment he crossed from faithful to traitor. Ben reflects on family reactions, emotional challenges and the friendships that survived the game. He reveals the truth about round table banishments, life after elimination, and what it really means to live under the cloak.

And in true Meet in the Middle fashion, we end with a ruthless Traitors Island quiz—because in this game, even your friends might be the ones to take you out.

Intro and Outro: Living Kills - The Noise

This week we’re joined by special guest Squash, the TikTok creator taking social media by storm. From growing up as a twin to grinding on building sites before making the leap into full-time content creation, Squash shares his journey with humor, honesty and more than a few wild stories. We dive into sibling rivalry, the highs and lows of influencer life, gaming and streaming pressure, imposter syndrome, online harassment, brand deals, and why authenticity is the key to surviving the creator economy.

It’s not all heavy, though—we get into childhood trauma, fast food horror stories, random trivia, and a rapid-fire round that proves Squash has as many one-liners as he does followers. This one’s packed with laughs, relatability, and plenty of banter with the MITM crew.

Intro and Outro: Living Kills - The Noise

This week on Meet in the Middle, Jake kicks us off with a Gen Z dating trend that’s as tragic as it is hilarious — “Shrekking,” where people date someone less attractive hoping they’ll be treated better. Spoiler: it ends in tears and swamp gas. From Fiona fantasies to full-blown Black Mirror vibes, the gang tear this nonsense apart in true chaotic fashion.

Then Rachel’s back with Boys, Catch Yourselves On, asking the age-old question: why are so many men apparently living like feral mattress trolls and refusing to change their bedsheets for months? Expect confessions of raw-dogging mattresses, Pooh Bear sleeping styles, and the kind of hygiene crimes David Attenborough could narrate.

Danny crashes in with What the FAQ and drops the word “Rantallion” — which, yes, is real and means your balls hang lower than your dick. Cue 18th-century slang, tavern roasts, and everyone picturing Squidward’s face.

Finally, James wraps it all up with a birthday quiz all about Rachel, with answers provided by none other than her mum. Chaos doesn’t even cover it.
