Summary

The sun is out! Does that make the pandemic ok? Not really, but it applies a filter to life, which is nice. Turns out the whole thing is Liverpool Football Club's fault anyway. The sun brings the people out, and with that the hugs and the licking of each other. It's very deflating these inflated groups of people. Suzanne's daughter knows, and most people, according to her Instagram poll - anyway, PJ has a lot to say about the people who will "lose their minds if they don't see their friends". Ryanair flights to Italy and Spain are starting soon, and PJ deconstructs the fantasy of booking toilet times on the plane. Should we just keep the 2 metre distance from other people thing? Even without the pandemic, maybe it's new etiquette, just give everyone 2 metres of space?  They discuss Normal People, what teenagers are really like, romantic connections and relationship politics. The O'Neills shorts brings them onto fashion from their own childhoods - towelling socks, anyone? The Dublanders then tackle the horrific murder of George Floyd and the protests and riots in the States. The racial divide in America and the long gone promise of the greatness of the USA as seen from the perspective of 1980s Ireland. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ladies and gentlemen, you're in for a treat because you're listening to the Dublin podcast with Suzanne and PJ.

0:12.7

So for your Dublin podcast, W your earholds.

0:15.4

Let's talk about the week that's been and the songs and everything in between.

0:19.9

How have you been?

0:54.2

Yeah, like grand, I suppose. Yeah. It's more, again, it's deadly. The sun, man. Oh, my God. I'm loving the sun. Jesus Christ. It's so good. Oh, you know what I mean? It just, like, even a pandemic looks well. It's like a filter on a pandemic. It's like an Instagram filter on a pandemic. You know what I mean? If you were to take a picture of the pandemic with nobody out there, and then you have this busy people, happy face filter you put onto it. That's how it's just made everything a little bit better. Even though there's still the potential of everybody dying, we all feel a little bit better about the process. It's weird that,

0:54.8

not bad.

1:01.0

Because like it's to be like 24, 25 degrees in Dublin tomorrow, which is Tuesday.

1:04.1

And then Saturday is to be like 12 degrees.

1:07.9

We're very transitional with our weather, aren't we?

1:11.3

We're deeply transitional weather we have.

1:30.3

Yeah, deeply transitional. It's fucking mad. But, like, I mean, that's 2020 in the nutshell, isn't it? I mean, this is, like, the most unpredictable fucking year ever. You know, like, we should have seen it coming. As soon as it looked like Liverpool were going to win the league, we should have known the world was going to end. you know, that's so horrendous, such a horrendous thing to happen. Liverpool to win anything.

1:29.1

And then you sort of go... as it looked like Liverpool were going to win the league, we should have known the world was going to end. You know, that's so horrendous, such a horrendous thing to happen.

1:43.5

Liverpool to win anything. And then you sort of go, right, if that happens, it's the end of the fucking world. And here we are. It's the end of the fucking world. But now it kind of feels like the sun is out and it's the rebirth of the world again. So it's ended and a few,

1:45.1

most of us have survived it,

1:47.3

and now it's kind of the rebirth of it all.

1:48.0

So we're sort of,

2:19.5

we're sort of, we're riding off into the sunshine again. It was mad yesterday walking and seeing all the pubs open again, though. I couldn't believe it. Oh, for food. And points and everything. You just can't have them on the pub. So you buy them and you just sit across the road. Like you just sit on the grass across the road. There's loads of that going on. Is there? So, yeah, all the pubs are on my way now. It's fucking great though. It's great to watch because now I'm a few days in and I've been really enjoying the process of us of watching it, right? So they go over and they buy about four or five points and cocktails.

2:21.3

They're selling all the cocktails and all that stuff.

2:23.4

And then they go over like Citi Gras.

2:29.7

Yeah, but all you do until you're out my way and you realize, no, you can't have a piss.
