Get Folked

An obscure turn of phrase dominates the early proceedings of this weeks episode but the lads eventually gather themselves and refocus. Andrew enjoys a Friday night Sofa Session in Wedding, where he is treated to a cracking selection of sound and song.
Ed alienates another contemporary although, as names go, if someone mistook me for a Brendan, I’d be okay with it. Bad boy Brendan…Get Folked!

An exception rather than the norm, Ed and Andy find themselves discussing current affairs in this weeks episode. Between the families being kept apart at Dublin airport, to international representatives using their platform to mend bridges and bandage broken hearts, the lads, like everyone else attempt to make sense of the world around them, dabbling in ethical waters as they seek to find balance within life's kaleidoscope of wonder.
That pudding needs more eggs…get folked!

The lads share their respective experiences when visiting the magical land of flatpacks. Ed gets a surprise inspection while on clean-up duty. Andy laments the all you can eat gurken and onion buffet. Naturally, all this talk of food and romance leads the lads into an oil wrestling deep dive where both action, and intent, are in question. Let’s get greasy, let's get folked.

This week’s episode has been briefly delayed due to the exuberance with which Andy and Ed celebrated Saint Brigid’s day this year. But, with all that cross making fun put behind them and with their gigantic memorial Brigid cloaks now neatly folded and placed into the sacred Brigid chest, itself placed inside their sacred Brigid chapels (which every Irish home has), it’s time to get back to the serious matter of the podcast.
Is Andy being hacked? Is horse riding animal cruelty? Or, is it human cruelty if the human is shit enough at horse riding? How many edges does a sword actually have? Do analogies still work on you even if you are a little bit stupid? All these questions and more shall be unsuccessfully tackled in this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast.

Bavul makes a reappearance on the Podcast this week as Andy brings us tunes and tales from this singularly wonderful Berlin music venue.
But it wouldn’t be The Get Folked Podcast without some meandering musings and, with this in mind, yet even more band name suggestions are thrown around willy-nilly, Andy’s guitar lessons now include the use of a guitar, and Ed confronts a fate worse than death as he attempts to extract just a tiny bit of accountability from an unapologetic customer service department. . . . . . . . . . Well, maybe not worse than death, but it is kind of inconvenient.
After all this, you will be left with only one question. Is this ASMR?
