LET'S DO THIS!

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast…

Arthur is fresh from the BAFTAs, while Donal spills behind-the-scenes secrets from filming his brand new cooking show, and that’s only the beginning.

The lads dive into one of Ireland’s most viral stories right now: has RIP.ie become the country’s newest dating app? A condolence message attempting to reconnect with a former flame has the internet divided, and Arthur and Donal have plenty to say about it.

They also tackle the growing debate around Michael O’Leary’s proposal to ban early morning airport drinks. Should pre-flight pints be restricted at Dublin Airport and beyond? Would it actually stop disruptive passengers… or ruin the holiday buzz for everyone else?

From viral Irish drama to airport pints, BAFTA stories and behind-the-scenes chaos, this episode has it all.

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast…

Donal is fresh off filming his new TV show and ready to unpack a bizarre story he can’t stop thinking about… a seagull screeching competition.
As a Howth native, he has plenty to say about the increasingly bold (and slightly terrifying) local seagulls, while Arthur compares it to his completely
different upbringing in Armenia. The conversation takes a turn into the world of skincare, as Arthur welcomes new warnings aimed at parents buying products for young kids. As a dad of two girls, he’s passionate about protecting young skin and knowing exactly what’s in your routine.
Donal admits he loves skincare too… but still feels awkward shopping for makeup. Arthur isn’t having it. Times have changed, and men wearing makeup is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Plus, they dive into the Met Gala, sharing their favourite looks and imagining what they’d wear if they ever scored an invite.
👉 From chaotic seagulls to skincare trends and red carpet dreams: this episode has it all!

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur & Donal Podcast…
Arthur’s entered his farmer era, and Donal has questions. From photoshoots in fields to getting way too up close with cows (yes, including a surprise
cow-tongue “massage”), things take a bizarre turn as they dive into what we actually eat from a cow… and Donal confirms: pretty much everything 👀
But what starts as farm chat quickly spirals into something bigger. If you won the lotto, where would you go? Easy: holiday! Except… with the fuel crisis disrupting air travel, is that even realistic anymore? They break down what’s happening with flights right now and why more people are ditching trips abroad for staycations in Ireland. Plus, their top spots to visit around the country. Then, a more serious note. The lads react to the news that the iconic St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is set for a major revamp, and people are not happy. Donal shares childhood memories tied to the Dublin landmark,
while Arthur reflects on experiencing it for the first time after moving to Ireland.
Is this the end of an era?

🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. What do you think about the changes, and are staycations the new normal?

This week’s episode kicks off straight after a chaotic family get-together, where Arthur and Donal share the hilarious reality of decorating cakes with a 6-year-old and a 3½-year-old, and stumbling across Highland cows on a Sunday walk. Expect plenty of laughs and relatable parenting moments!
The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Arthur reminisces about Armenian sewing while Donal dives into his love of Irish patchwork. It sparks a bigger discussion about the surprising revival of hobbies and why Gen Z is rediscovering crafts, creativity, and slow living after years of doomscrolling on social media.
Listeners have also been asking about Donal’s beloved dog Max after a string of frightening health scares, including one moment where Donal almost ran him over with the car (yes, really… you’ll have to listen to understand!) Donal shares how Max is doing now and explains why pets can be so powerful for children’s development, even encouraging Arthur to consider getting a family pet.
And of course, they couldn’t ignore the biggest pop culture moment of the week: Madonna’s comeback. From her appearance at Coachella to the excitement around her return to the stage, Arthur and Donal dive into the thrill of festival season and what Madonna’s comeback means for pop culture.
If you love pop culture, parenting stories, pets, hobbies, and honest chats about modern life, this episode feels like sitting down with friends to catch up on the latest news and gossip.

This week on the podcast, Arthur and Donal are back with one of their most unhinged chats yet. Arthur kicks things off by sharing a truly questionable salon discovery involving an extremely unconventional “facial” treatment proof, if ever it were needed, that not everything needs to be a beauty trend.

From there, the conversation jumps straight into real life: parenting chaos, juggling protests, and how both Arthur and Donal somehow managed to criss‑cross the country last weekend and live to tell the tale. There’s also a surprisingly passionate (and mildly panicked) discussion about trampolines, why they’re far more dangerous than anyone admits, and how every parent seems to learn this the hard way.

The big topic this week, though, is Michael Jackson. With the new biopic on the way, the lads revisit the King of Pop’s legacy including Arthur’s near‑brush with pop history, revealing he was once in line to be a backup dancer for Michael, just before the news of his passing was announced.
It’s funny, chaotic, heartfelt, and exactly the kind of conversation that somehow only makes sense when Arthur and Donal are together.
