Morning Brew is a weekly discussion between three longtime friends. Each member brings a topic to the table over a cup of coffee, which tends to derail pretty quickly.
Episode 31: The official Pre-Stag episode
The Podcast Host Battle Royale is heating up! Only Dan and Adam still remain as Steve has been lost in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs. Join the boys as the discuss getting rich and famous before quitting for a life as a carpenter or something. Also we answer some of the most pressing questions in music. Is Dave Grohl the nicest man in rock? Or just the best liar? Which bandmates hate each other the most? And is Pete Doherty actually famous?  Elsewhere, our boy Adam has finally found happiness and is ready to settle down. We discuss Dan and Steve’s plans to kill him through alcohol poisoning before that can happen. Follow along on socials!: https://twitter.com/MediaSuplex https://instagram.com/MediaSuplex https://twitter.com/SwaggerGills https://twitter.com/MrDanielPurcell https://twitter.com/AnBurcach Intro/Outro music: Social Kapital by Glad RagsAttribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Ep 30: What’s it all about, Alfie’s?
Bosses – can’t live with ‘em. That’s it, no without. What do you do when a boss treats you like crap and then expects you to be grateful for their time? We discuss the craptastic treatment of the Dublin restaurant worker who was handed over seven thousand coins in a plastic bucket as his severance pay by an employer who thought he was safe from social media.  We also talk about the impact of constantly being served traumatic stories on social media in the pandemic; try to guess how long famous books are, and offer our Free Guide To Responsibly Recommending Cultural Products To Your Friends.  Follow along on socials!: https://twitter.com/MediaSuplex https://instagram.com/MediaSuplex https://twitter.com/SwaggerGills https://twitter.com/MrDanielPurcell https://twitter.com/AnBurcach Intro/Outro music: Social Kapital by Glad RagsAttribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Episode 29: James Bonds PornHub sub
On this weeks episode the boys discuss James Bond, and work out which James Bond is the highest grossing James Bond with inflation to finally put an end to the debate of greatest Bond. They also discuss how not watching trailers can backfire, such as when you realise seconds into a movie you’re now watching a musical. Stephen recalls seeing a couple get so offended during the homoerotic gay sex scenes in Rocketman that they left…Presumably because they confused it with the other Elton John who is notoriously sexually unknown. They also go through the longest movies of all time, otherwise known as the list of movies Adam will never watch.

Episode28: Taking tokes and pulling strokes
Adam has a big rant about his current difficulties in proving to the Irish state he is who they say he is. We also have a short lesson in Irish client politics, as Stephen urges Adam to ask a local TD to misuse his or her office by pressuring civil servants to get around some bureaucracy.  After four and a half years of service, Stephen’s smartphone is dying. This raises the question: why in the heck are they putting so much damn RAM in phones now?  And… the only songs the world’s best selling artists are remembered for.  Bonus content: for the third week in a row we rag on Barry Keoghan’s Guinness ad.  Follow along on socials!: https://twitter.com/MediaSuplex https://instagram.com/MediaSuplex https://twitter.com/SwaggerGills https://twitter.com/MrDanielPurcell https://twitter.com/AnBurcach Intro/Outro music: Social Kapital by Glad RagsAttribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Episode 27: Circlejerking your way to fascism
Watch your little fingies, a piping hot episode of Morning Brew is HERE! This week the gang discusses James Bond being a bit creepy and decrepit. Daniel Craig has been James Bond for so long Adele was still super relevant only just two movies ago. They also discuss movie adapations, and what their preferences are for them like if they want to see something extremely close to the source or a new take entirely. They also get into the weeds of celebrities who have slowly faded into irrelevancy without realising it, and are now lashing out at cancel culture as the cause. Looking at you John Cleese.

Episode 26: Don’t gimme no snack talk sucker
Stephen, who claims on his LinkedIn to be a broadcast media professional, spent the first 15 minutes of this episode loudly eating Peanut M&Ms and Pringles on mic, so brace yourself for some serious snack talk right from the start.   We preview the forthcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, which raises the question: could Marisa Tomei do much as Alec Guinness did in classic revenge caper Kind Hearts and Coronets… and play every female character? This fascinating question remains unanswered but Marisa if you want to hear out our idea get your agent to DM us.  Adam also explains why kids will be banned from his wedding reception.    Further reading: Aussie YouTube adventure-philosophiser Beau Miles (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm325cMiw9B15xl22_gr6Dw ) Lafcadio Hearn, the most important Irish writer nobody in Ireland has ever heard of (https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/07/02/the-many-lives-of-lafcadio-hearn/) Follow along on socials!: https://twitter.com/MediaSuplex https://instagram.com/MediaSuplex https://twitter.com/SwaggerGills https://twitter.com/MrDanielPurcell https://twitter.com/AnBurcach Intro/Outro music: Social Kapital by Glad RagsAttribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Episode 25: Steve Carrell’s rule of beard
Join the guys as they finally fire their censor and start talking about the topics THAT WERE TOO HOT FOR TV (or will be too hot for tv when the inevitable deal comes). Such as… whether Billy Crudup looks like Joaquin Phoenix, whether there was a XXX 3 and the pantshitting terror of Darby O’Gill and the Little People. Meanwhile, Adam adds to his ever-growing list of celebrity enemies with… Will Ferrell. Dan decides to shit on Willem Dafoe for some reason. And Steve stays silent for nearly half an hour.

Episode 24: I’m the jiggy-naught
Have you ever counted your pennies and wondered: “What is the least I will have to spend on making myself drunk enough to loosen up and get my groove on?” Wonder no more. The boys discuss boozing on a budget – and, for the purposes of balance, how to bat off the peer pressure when you’ve had your fill.  Also in today’s episode: how to get any item your heart desires simply by perusing your local classifieds website.  And: what if Will Smith got a role in the X-Men?

Episode 23: You’ve got beautiful teeth boy… but you need a fillin’
We like to eat right and look after ourselves, and as we all know, as with horses, the first place people look when they size you up is in the teeth.  Today we’re talking about our best, worst and weirdest dental experiences – actually mostly Adam because Dan and Stephen like our respective dentists.  Adam and Dan discuss honeymoon plans for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday with their significant others, while Stephen… considers a buying a motorbike.  And finally… what is the deal with Northern Irish lads giving you fake names when you meet them in a social setting? And Adam reveals the name he used when he was this guy.  Follow along on socials!: https://twitter.com/MediaSuplex https://instagram.com/MediaSuplex https://twitter.com/SwaggerGills https://twitter.com/MrDanielPurcell https://twitter.com/AnBurcach Intro/Outro music: Social Kapital by Glad RagsAttribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Episode 22: Not guest starring The Rock
Welcome back to yet another episode of Morning Brew, this week not being joined by special guest The Rock. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties that episode is lost forever, but the guys do a great job and touching on some of the key points from the appearance. Dwayne, if you’re interested in coming back onto the show, hit us up baby Adam does also bring up The Rock’s diva attitude however, so maybe that won’t happen for a second time. Dan is curious to learn about shows that the crew started, but then ditched due to a lack of interest over time and noticing the dip in quality. Stephen has bought himself a surf board, and wants to know what the other guys have ended up in a loop of accessory buying. It’s a real fun episode, so pull up a chair and pour yourself a hot fresh cup of Morning Brew.
