## Resource

In this week’s episode, the boys strike a slightly more somber tone as we dig into the first 360 or so years of English colonization, occupation, and general f*ckery in Ireland, from The Plantation of Ulster to Bloody Sunday. It’s part one of a series a year in the making, so we tried to take it seriously. Guest appearances by Blinky the leprechaun, Billy Connelly, and Liam Neeson.
