Karen’s A Latin Lovely, Niall’s Got A Gay Admirer & Auntie’s Got A Moustache!

It’s another episode of Don’t Call Me Darling, where Niall and Karen prove once again that no subject is off limits, no memory is too embarrassing and absolutely nothing is sacred!

This week, the pair get their heads around the bizarre idea of a washable condom, wonder why ageing pop stars refuse to retire and take a hilarious look back at the filthy lyrics we all innocently sang as children without having a clue what they actually meant!

Do men ever really grow up, or do they just swap their toys for video games, superheroes and expensive gadgets? Niall also takes a nostalgic trip back to Christmas at Granny’s in the 1960s, complete with Babycham, cigarettes, the Pope on television and an auntie with a moustache who demanded a kiss in exchange for 50p! And speaking of moustaches, what’s the story with a newborn baby apparently arriving with a fully grown one?

There’s more family embarrassment as Niall remembers the day his little brother called their mother a wanker, while Karen recalls being compared to Gloria Estefan! We also discover Niall has a gay admirer, revisit the legendary Lilac Centre, Tomorrow’s World, the early days of home computers and Niall’s first technological adventures.

And things get even more ridiculous with 50p to see your tits, booby birds, the helicopter dance and Niall’s Ding-A-Ling! Karen confesses to her first cigarette and declares war on useless cracked screen protectors and the pair wonder whether childhood innocence has disappeared altogether.

Then there’s the controversial new campaign about hugging grandchildren. Niall and Karen ask whether we’ve completely lost the plot and why grandparents suddenly seem to need permission to show affection!

In this week’s listener dilemma, ‘The Hobby Hubby’, one woman is struggling with her husband’s obsession with his hobbies. Is he entitled to his own interests, or is he neglecting his marriage?

There’s also a lovely email from a listener who’s thoroughly enjoying the show, before Niall has another moan about the miserable Irish weather and Karen decides she’s had enough and is moving somewhere sunny!

Marriage, memories, madness, moustaches and plenty of inappropriate laughter. It’s another gloriously unfiltered episode of Don’t Call Me Darling!

Real marriage, real stories, real laughs and real truths.
