It doesn't stop them bringing hard-hitting historical insights about knuckle dusters: they talk Italian-trucker fusion restaurant Truckadero, the Seagull Appreciation Society, and they fight 100 children in the name of science.

Occasionally, we'll record an episode that doesn't get released. (usually a result of recording loss or a dodgy connection, the usual sexy stuff.) But we'll have recorded the intro before we've realised we have to pull the plug on the episode. These intros still exist, unheard in the chill, silent void between recording and release.

So this week, as Colin and Cillian were off watching Histrionix live in Smock Alley, they have compiled a collection of untethered intros.

Colin calls on his new trucker boss Mucker (Pearl O'Rourke). Along with Cillian, the trio talk about Mucker’s love of games, why Moses used magnets and why Colin’s job is life or death.

Pearl O'Rourke (MOB Theatre, TINY) stars in the RTE's Talking It Out, the web-series Someone for Everyone and is a PhD and lecturer of Product Design.

NOTE FROM PRODUCER: A bug meant we lost half of Colin's recorded audio, so he starts a bit patchy but it improves toward the second half. Stick with it. Or don't we understand.
