Gar and Zaynab talk about stuff that's going on in the middle east.
they start with a timeline of events leading from the Arab Spring (Zaynab shares her experiences of that in Egypt) to the Syrian Civil War and what's happening currently.
they talk about Assad (bad man) being another in a long line of boogeymen for the west and how the western media has been reacting. Their feelings on what's going on and then the comeback of the popular image of the Evil Arab exemplified perfectly in the trailer for the new Alex Garland movie "Warfare".

Disaster strikes at Christmas time! The Ligers lose James' side of the conversation for the latest episode! But maybe... just maybe.... a little Christmas magic might save the day...

Another post election malaise episode! The Ligers discuss the idea of a thousand year reign for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Then they dip into some of the best Irish political comedy (The Phoenix and a youtube sketch comedy guy called Something Moore) to get a read on general vibes in the country. James talks about a book he's reading on conspiracy theories which leads to a discussion on Irish journos obsession with the US.

The Ligers further pick through the ashes of General Election 2024 referencing a Journal article by Paul Murphy. They watch a clip of former housing minister Eoghan Murphy talk about his mental health. THEN a belated celebration of International Men's Day reading an article by The Irish Independent about white cis het Irish male celebrities being asked about their favourite white cis het Irish men. Actually I think John Boyne is gay but whatever... -
The Ligers recorded a half hour of immediate mourning on the Sunday after the General Election 2024. They talk about Stefanie Preissner giving her invaluable post election insights, Gerry The Monk Hutch being done dirty and they take bitter enjoyment about The Greens eating shite.
Then over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
...a few days later they recorded a proper episode with Gar back in London. They talk about the Soc Dem's latest candidate they somehow didn't know loved Israel, the Soc Dems (very serious) red effing lines for any coalition building and then they talk about Paul "Fuck You Deputy Stagg" Gogarty returning to the Dáil and an Independent Green. -
The Ligers talk about the final Leader's Debate before the election which was pretty tedious. They also talk about the frustrating non-issue of immigration. Shortest election ever and it feels like it's been 100 years.
30th November 7pm!

Come and get live election coverage with the Ligers coming to you LIVE from Cork city. There might even be a few guests and a few games (one game and only maybe) and a few guests might even stop by! Tell your friends. We should have promoted this sooner. Oh well! -
The Ligers watch a lot of clips of Val Martin who the Youtube algorithm keeps spewing up for Gar. Previously just some weird crank speaking into his phone he's now running for The Irish Freedom Party in Cavan-Monaghan. There's no point getting into it here because soon you will know more about Val than you ever cared to know.
In the second half over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
They basically watch a little more Val (A SMALL BIT) then talk about the state of the whole General Election overall which.... the fact they spend a good hour and ten talking about Val should say it all.
Still! That's why we did that Leader's Debate episode! That enough politics for ya?? I hope so because it's all Val from here on out! Val! Val! Val! -
It's Irish General Election 2024! "Game on" say The Ligers! "I'll tell a friend" says you!
What if Batman were from Galway? That's the first millennial podcast banter bit. Then they review a series of clips from the campaign trail where Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael get irritated about having to ask for people's votes.
Micheál Martin says "What mess?" when it comes to housing (LITERALLY). Simon Harris gets frustrated the voting swine don't appreciate their pocket money!
Then in the second half over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
The Ligers try very hard to imagine the type of sick mind who likes Simon Harris and despair over the hollow political culture in Ireland.
Maccabi Tel Aviv racist football hooligans in Amsterdam eff around find out!...that the media will still protect them!
Michael O'Leary takes a pop at teachers like a bleeding legend woooo homework sucks! -
The Ligers talk about the US presidential election, the Irish General election and then just how fecking downright gas our little island do be!

On a very scary Halloween episode Gar is joined by Brit Left wing politics commentator, Bob Dylan devotee and host of Reel Politik podcast Jack Frayne-Reid to talk about the scariest thing of all... the Brits and West Brits.
They talk about Irish Labour vs. UK Labour, the non-MP who won't die John Ashworth AND they read a very long article written by ghoul Fionnán Sheahan about the less cool Irish Rasputin in Number 10 ... Morgan McSweeney. He's the Brit Prime Minister's best friend bejesus and begora!
THEN. In the second half on www.patreon.com/celticligers
James returns (from the dead) to talk about Irish stuff such as: Leo Varadkar on a podcast looking like he's in hell. Micheál Martin on another podcast getting pissy with "The Group Chat" over mild push back that he's a war mongering prick. Then they finish up talking about a child's drawing of an elephant. "Why?" you might ask. well it's a Halloween treat.... or is it a trick??

The Ligers do a long review of the Donald Trump movie "The Apprentice" where they also talk about Trump a good bit (i think). Then Alan Shatter is back b*tch so they read his campaign literature. Inexplicably that is the first half of the show. An hour on those two things.
Then in the second part on www.patreon.com/celticligers
The Late Late Show takes a pop at Sinn Féin. Famous Irish liar Sarah Carey says Sinn Féin are not to be trusted. Richard Boyd Barrett is bullied by RTÉ for not bullying Sinn Féin. Basically everyone is at Sinn Féin and it looks like Fine Gael will reign for a thousand years so The Ligers close out the show listening to Zionist comedy writer Lee Kern give himself a stroke screaming about Irish peacekeepers. CHECK IT OUT. -
The Ligers talk about one of the most horrible images ever taken from the bombing of a tent hospital by Israel. Gar gives his thoughts on a movie called Rumours (plot: G7 Leaders get lost in a woods and chased by bog body zombies) and issues with their politician depictions. THEN they talk about the media finding their ability to report on things, making a holy show of Sinn Féin for having a bunch of sex pests.
Then in the second half over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
The Ligers read an idea from an insane man suggesting Elon Musk buy Tinder to increase birth rates and as a result you get to hear what's written on James's Hinge profile! The sock dems triangulate how to be the future coalition partner everyone hates. And then The Ligers close out by revealing who the freak Cobalt the spy is!! what a scoop! -
The Ligers have a disagreement (!!!) over whether a Fine Gael councillor was being antisemetic, then they talk about Paschal Donohue's denial of a phone call to his Israeli counterpart (not for him to speculate why they'd be lying apparently) and then they talk about Sinn Féin being criticised for writing a reference letter for a pedo (bad!) by a party definitely standing on firm ground in that regard.
THEN in the second half on www.patreon.com/celticligers
The Ligers talk about: Fine Gael's dirty electioneering aping the far right, Simon Harris continues to be the demon every mammy loves, Elon Musk speaks at a trump rally and they end reading a piece by Mick Clifford emphasis on Mick. Maybe the far right and the far left aren't so different but also they are and Paul Murphy is a real smug prick isn't he??

The Ligers talk about some lad called Stuart Mackey (because James insists), then actual stuff that they should be talking about like way too expensive security huts and THE BUDGET: the Irish commentariat busybox! (will there me an election now omg???)
Then in the second half over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
They watch a wretched clip of Ryan Tubridy interviewing Simon Harris on "what makes him cry?" which turned out not to be funny at all. Then famous Obama era intellectual Ta-Nehisi Coates has his work cut out for him convincing Americans that Palestinians are human beings. The Labour UK conference where things can only get shitter. FINALLY, Leo Varadkar visits the fighting Irish in Notre Dame and tells Joe Kennedy III that the Irish language needs to go. -
The Ligers do some clean up of Comedy Unleashed, talk about anti-migrant protest policing vs. people enjoying culture night policing and Simon Harris' dangerous comments linking immigration to the housing crisis. Bad stuff folks!
THEN in the second half over on www.patreon.com/celticligers
Tim Apple has to give Ireland 14 billion so The Ligers go into the Dáil record from 2016 to hear the sounds of TDs sucking off big tech. They also read an exchange from The Guardian between two Israeli and Palestinian therapists trying to reach across the divide. One guess who proves to be a complete psycho. As revealing as it is depressing.
