Mark Mehigan’s Weekly Roast

A genuinely very tough listen, but at least we know he's loyal to the cause. One of the most believable pranks I've ever heard in my life.

In a sizzling follow up to yesterday's Roast Mortem, we have received a voice note from the wife in relation to her relations. Be gentle in the comments! As hard as it might be...

A listener got in touch with us over the weekend with a message to say that her MIL has offered 5,000 euro towards her grandson's education as a Birthday present - on the condition she gets to choose the school. I foolishly assumed everybody would be on the side of the wife but it seems many of you are supporters of the MIL. Have a listen and let us know which team you are! https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Predictably, Mark roasts Michael's wedding and thus the two lads dig deep into the annals of your own embarrassing memories and revisit the worst times you sent texts to the wrong person. Who's in for the listening party? https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Alright guys, Mark here taking a break from the roasting of modern life, with an urgent recommendation: We need to address a massive, universal crisis that is currently destroying our collective sanity...our completely broken sleep schedules. Let's be honest, if you find it difficult nodding off at night, or if you spend your 3:00 AM hours staring blankly at the ceiling overanalyzing a text message you sent in 2018, you need a serious intervention. That is why I am highly recommending you look up GoLoud's latest original stream - GoLoud Sleep Sounds.This is a pragmatically designed tool featuring a calming collection of immersive, 10-hour soundscapes carefully tailored for anyone looking for a calmer, healthier bedtime routine. The best part? There is absolutely no talking, no narrative stories to engage your overthinking brain, and crucially, zero commercial ads to wake you up in a sweat halfway through the night. Instead, it utilizes the ambient sounds of some of Ireland's most scenic spots to anchor your mind—transporting you to Curracloe Beach in spring, Howth Harbour at sunset, the Midlands on a stormy night, the Wicklow Mountains in winter, or the quiet stillness of Dublin after dark. The long-form, entirely uninterrupted audio is designed specifically to create a soothing environment that can be played through the night or used as a calming backdrop during moments of rest and relaxation. Do something smart for your mental health tonight. Head over to the GoLoud app or wherever you listen to your podcasts, find GoLoud Sleep Sounds, press play, put the phone down, and let it do the rest.Have a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/033wsfw3b3SrnBby4xyZhf?si=8e80d7d9e4d24483

This one is not for the faint hearted. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Considering it's the last EVER mention of Weddings on the show, we thought we would do an off the cuff episode with Michael as he prepares for his own nuptials in Portugal tomorrow. We talk through doing weddings sober and the pitfalls of meeting up with your ex the night before!

This week Mark is joined by the inimitable Calvin O'Brien and Ed Smith to dissect some of your more colourful experiences in examination halls around Ireland. Send in your stories and suggestions here: https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

What a wonderfully wholesome way to end our wedding saga. We truly hope you've enjoyed it. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

It's time to revisit one of the onstage howlers Mark had during the House of Loon's tour before getting stuck into the weirdest and least wonderful things you've ever encountered with that one annoying friend of your Mum/Mam/Mom/Ma etc.

So it would appear our Bride up North isn't happy about the wedding fund. She believes it's the 'exact same' thing as her asking for a car in advance of her wedding. Have a listen and let me know what you think of her response. I've exhausted all avenues of trying to find common ground, I think. I truly believe we have completely run out of road when it comes to reasoning or rationale. Thanks for joining the journey with us. Give the pod a follow if you enjoyed it or let us know below what you'd like us to discuss next. Oh - and here's the Go Fund Me for a random Irish couple which we will pick from the entrants next week. Give them a euro or two! You have all been fantastic throuhgout this whole thing. Thanks for the supportive messages!https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=enhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/wedding-fund-for-irish-couple
