| 0:00.0 | swelter in the heron's headware, you swollen own chucks. Welcome to the Blind Boy podcast. If this is your |
| 0:08.5 | first time listening, consider going back to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself with the |
| 0:14.5 | lore of this podcast. There's a back catalogue of almost 500 episodes now. We're nestled in the unpredictable chaos of March, |
| 0:23.7 | a very aggressive and annoying month. Because it's warm and cold at the same time, |
| 0:29.1 | winter is transitioning into spring, so in Ireland, this little island in the middle of the |

| 1:30.7 | Since last week's podcast, America and Israel have gone to war with Iran. |
| 1:37.1 | But then last night Donald Trump said that the war with Iran is pretty much over |
| 1:42.1 | and that they'd achieved their objectives, whatever the fuck they are. |
| 1:45.8 | But at the same time that he said that, |
| 1:48.2 | they then intensified the war. |
| 1:51.1 | But I promised you last week that this week's podcast was going to be about potatoes. |
