'Your views, your news, your limerick today with Jonet on live 95.' 20 Cent is good value for a perfect toilet facility, we should have more like it, well done to Arthur's key, at least you have a spotless facility, what is that other person talking about having to pay, this is from Rebecca Momo who had to dash in several times on the shop and with a child, Jennifer says, that's been the case now Arthur's key for the past few years, it's only 20 Cent if I'm right, Paul says for as long as I can remember there's been a charge to use the bathroom in Arthur's key and this is one of these morning summary where you and I are going, why do we bother doing prep on the program at all? On unexpected moments it's right and the other one is fireworks and she needs to think fireworks going on here in the Skeaton to every night, it started about 10 days ago here on my poor dog to, what fireworks, 11 at night and 4 in the morning. No I think what, no that was that person was saying it took them to the fore in the morning because they had to drive the dog around to calm the dog down for half an hour in the middle of the night and they get back, get the dog cam and whatever, but I think they are happening around 11 from everything we're hearing and obviously in many parts of the city and county, I don't, maybe, maybe it hasn't been happening every year recently that it's that early. I don't remember at the start of September, I don't, in fairness I don't, we always get calls about this but it's usually later in September. It is, it is usually later in September and by the way, you're not supposed to use fireworks without a license for among many other reasons, they are very dangerous, you can blow your arm off with these things if you have no idea what you're doing and somehow I think some of the people using this may not be experts when it comes to this display of fireworks but there you are. And with Amri, we have Sarga and Kate as well and are you hearing fireworks where you guys are? Are you looking at me kind of? When I was living in college court, you'd hear them so often and like, when there's Castle Troy, isn't it? We are getting some reports from Castle Troy. Yeah, it's just, but like, especially, I think when College comes back as well, it's going to be even more prevalent because they just, I don't know what it is, it's like, "Oh, we've got five minutes, come on, will it go set them off?" No, I've got to defend students here, right? Because I, students get the finger pointed at them for an awful lot. But I was saying on the show on Monday that certainly if you go around areas that may traditionally have student populations, before the students are back, for example, litter. Litter is a significant problem in parts of the suburbs of Limerick. From what I've seen and other reports that we're getting, and the students aren't there yet. So, it's the natives one would assume. I also think things like that, a lot of older generations, they might not like to admit it, but it's them doing it. I know even I've had to correct my own dad because he'll just be like, "Ah, sure, it's granted everything where it's the young people that are like, no, you can't do that." Like the environment, the older people are like, "Ah, sure, that's how we did it, and we'll do it again." Like, they have a sense of... Okay, well there, there's all old people pushing one box there by case. Old people over there. If you defend the students, I'd harass the older of this one, so it's loud, but it's not safe. It's not right in the world. What about you, Zaga? Yeah, I do think sometimes students can be easy to point the finger at and say, "Oh, that was students, definitely students, all these wild students that are just free from home and have no concept of how society works." But like Kate says, I do think a lot of students actually feel really passionately about some things like literature, particularly literature. A lot of people would be very much against littering, things like that. Now, I'm going to not agree with it, though. I don't blame the older generation particularly. I don't know who's doing it, but I may be a combination of everyone. Yeah, he is one of the most annoying things, isn't it, to be driving around and be a car in front of you, and then just casually, they throw for whatever a drink can out of the car. They just toss it out of the car. There we go. Yeah, I have to say it is a pet peeve of mine, especially if you're driving along a road and you see, say, takeaway packaging or something thrown on the side of the road, and you know there's that takeaway is not anywhere near where the packaging is thrown. Someone just threw it out the window. It does annoy me a lot, I have to say. Yeah, I can imagine. And on the fireworks front, you guys aren't hearing that as much known. No, I haven't really heard a lot now, to be honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, well, let us talk, then, about some of your recommendations. And Amory is watching "Love is Blind UK." Apparently, the reunion is on Netflix. I can't wait to hear about this. All right, let's have a clip. You didn't think we'd leave your hanging, right? Get your watch parties ready for the first ever "Love is Blind UK" reunion. We catch up with all of our couples and dive into the real connections that were made. I was already certainly even after the date one, that I was the kind of woman that I'd like to spend the rest of my life with. The drama that unfolded. I wish none of that ever took place. I really did. Sam, say I'm sorry to Nicole, please. And what has gone down to stinks for weddings? Then you just let the record straight. What happened? This is something that's been bothering me a little bit, that I've been seeing online. OK, for people who've never heard of this programme, can you just explain the concept here, Amory? OK, so they have been doing this with Americans, and this is the first UK version of the series. It is people dating in pods, so there's a partition between them. They don't get to see each other, they get to talk. And at the end of weeks of talking and filming and of all of the relationships developing, a certain amount will propose to each other, having not seen the other person. Propose what to each other? Marriage, right. What? So they propose, and after they propose, then they actually get to see each other and go out into, I think this year they went to Greece on a holiday. It was all filmed, and then they go out into the real world, and they meet each other's parents. And after a few weeks, then, they decide at the altar, whether they go ahead with the marriage or not. So you form the relationship, you form the bond, without seeing the person, you pick the partner, you propose to them, if you want. Now, not everyone does. And then those couples who decide to get married are filmed right up to the altar, and presumably nobody is silly enough to actually go through with it. And they do, yeah, they do. And there's some people who go through and get married. Yeah, they do. So for example, this year on Love is Blind UK, I think six couples went forward and three ended up saying yes at the altar. So what they do for the reunion then is a year later, they broadcast what's called a reunion. They sit down with the couples who did get married, and the others who didn't, and other people who took part in it, certain members, obviously the controversial ones, they don't bring the boring ones back. It's TV at the end of the day, and they bring them back for a chat and catch up with the couples who got married, those who didn't, so on and so forth. And I've watched the reunion now, which has landed on Netflix. And there was a surprise, apparently, at the reunion. Yeah, so basically, there was three couples, and one of them, everybody thought this is great. Stephen and Sabrina. Sabrina was from Northern Ireland, Stephen from the UK, and they were one of the couples that got married. And the minute this episode opened, you saw them sitting apart. And I was completely shocked because I thought they were one of the most realistic, truest couples would last forever. Of course they were sitting apart. I mean, this is the maddest thing I have ever heard. Do you know what? I said the same, and then I watched it, and I'm completely hooked. I've watched all the American series. I've, you know, it makes a change from watching the Syrian killers, you have to admit. And, you know, I've watched the UK one now, and I was hooked because there are genuine people involved in this. They've given up on meeting partners, and they take part in a TV show. There are also people who are not genuine, and there was a bad egg in the bunch this year, which makes great TV. You know, so, but there are genuine people. Well, have either of you seen this? I should have seen this, and yeah, exactly. It's just the perfect turn your brain off and just sit back and enjoy. Like it really is. And, and Marie, what you said, exactly, they've given up is sometimes it is a bit sad to hear them be like, because when you watch like a little while in those, in those things, like they're very much in for a career. These people are actually looking for a husband or a wife, and they're going on saying like, yeah, I want three kids. I want this. I'm like, like, go on. So they're prepared to live in pods and talk through walls to each other for their glamorous pods. Oh, desperate times calls for desperate. If you're that lonely and you're looking for love, you live in pods. I mean, you can't, like, because the person can, the other person can go can pretend to be anything they like, you know, I just. I think that's what happened with Steven and Sabrina. I think she, what happened was it got very tense. Like it was very good TV, but I was shocked because I was totally hooked on this couple as well. And you could see the body language. Sabrina was really cold, the presenters went to them and said, well, obviously you're sitting apart. What happened? And they all had different, they both had different versions, but the presenter turned around and nailed it and just said, so Sabrina, how many times did you go to the UK to visit Steve after you got married? You say you made the effort and she went seven and present her turn to Steven and said, and how many times did you go to Belfast to see Sabrina since he got married toys and yes, that's on me. I know, but blah, blah, blah. It turns out he was a different guy. He was a different guy. He acted through the whole thing, I think. And she was devastated. Absolutely. Oh, she was devastated, Joe. She was on radio doing interviews and everything at the time. Are you serious? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And her mother and sister. She was in a TV program. Her mother and sister were very concerned about her. Yeah, they weren't. Yeah, they were filmed saying, look, we're concerned about you going through this process. And there were articles about the girl afterwards. She fell into a depression and everything. Really, really serious stuff, Joe. Really serious stuff. And I, you know, I'm in two minds about whether really people should do this or not. But I know that's another story. Well, I'm in one mind. They should. Well, I wouldn't and you wouldn't. Okay. Love is blind. UK, the reunion on that. Even the fact we're saying the reunion, you kind of really was the one. Right. Let's move on. Sark is watching something I've heard of, but I've never, it's season four of Umbrella Academy on Netflix. It's like, we want to show you something. The world we live in is one big phony baloney lie. That tentacle boy is the key to understanding all the timelines. This is the world's ending again. Oh, that's tragic. We need to fix this. Okay. Can any one of you remember how Ben actually died? Ben died because we failed as a team. Okay. Yeah, I've heard of this, as I say, dysfunctional superheroes or something, is it? Yeah, exactly dysfunctional superheroes. So it's this, I suppose, going back to the beginning. It's a group of people. They were all born on the same day spontaneously to women who weren't even pregnant or expecting a child. So this billionaire goes out of his way. He tries to source all of them. He gets, I think he gets seven in the end and he, they all have these powers and he trains them up to be the superhero team. And then as the series starts and we look at them as adults who are just totally dysfunctional. They have all these daddy issues with this guy who raised them, but they also have these superpowers and they're just trying to figure it out. And also the world is ending, of course. My rock monster. Oh, he's fell in in it. Yeah, Robert Sheehan. Robert Sheehan. Yes. Yeah. He was in it. Yeah. So is it good? Yeah. Well, I enjoy it. Now, it's very, I suppose wacky is almost the word I'd use. The tone of it can be so light and there's all this fun music. And then the next thing it's total violence breaks out out of nowhere. So it is a bitch. Okay. Yeah, it's good. It's based on a comic book. So it kind of has that comic book style. Okay. Well, it's all Netflix today because it's a series that was on RTE called the nobody's own. And he's now available to be seen on Netflix and Kate, this is no light relief. This is a real serial killer from Ireland who killed a lot of people in England. Yeah, I know. For once, I'm not talking about trashy reality TV. I'm actually talking about something that has some bit of weight. But yeah, no, it's brilliant. So it was a podcast. Oh, back in 2020. And that's when I listened to it peak COVID. It was brilliant. It was it was I think it was a five paratro it may be more series podcast. And it was really, really interesting. It's about this old Irish man. And he was pulled in to the guards for something really, really minor. I think it was petty theft he was pulled in for. When you say the guards, you mean the British? Sorry, sorry, this is all in London. But he's an Irish man. But yeah, he was in London. And he was pulled in and he just started. What's the word confessing confessing to all these murders. And they literally were like, Oh, hang up. We should start recording this. Oh, and then he started confessing to all these murders. We found out why we found out did he do all of them? There was different reasons. He was it's really, really interesting case, but it was it was made into a show on or to you last year. So the show came out. I never got to see it. I actually didn't know that it was coming out, but it was all dramatized and everything. And then it's just been put on Netflix on the first of September. So what's out now? And you can watch it. But it is brilliant. It's a two part series. And it's brilliant. The acting and everything. It like, I love the podcast, but it brought a real sense of kind of life. And you kind of actually really like really understood how serious and how grave the situation was. And you got kind of a different level of understanding to the actual merger himself and everything. Now I made the grave mistake of watching it alone at night. And I would not recommend definitely not. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't think so. But but if you're if that's what you liked and you're like this, I have to say, at the beginning, I wasn't thinking of watching love is blind UK, the reunion on Netflix, but having heard your recommendation, I think I'd stick with our Marines, maybe this week. But I'm sure it's brilliant. All right. Kids are a good idea. Thank you very much for those recommendations. Much appreciated. Your views, your news, your limerick today with Joe Netch on live 95.
