In this episode, we're joined by professional football player Jemma Quinn. From the streets of Darndale to playing Champions League football, Jemma tells us her extraordinary story of her leaving football behind at a young age, her struggles with her identity and addiction, her return to football and signing for Shels. This episode is the full package, with a lot of laughs, a moment of seriousness and key lessons to take from this episode among the many things that you will hear from this episode.

Irish kickboxer Peter Carr makes his second appearance on the podcast, where he bares his soul and gets a lot of things off his chest. Peter opens up to us in-depth about his weed addiction and how it ruined his life and destroyed his relationships with his loved ones, and how he's trying to rebuild himself and reconcile with the people he cares about. This is by far the most open, honest and heartbreaking episode we've ever done on this podcast so far, and we laud Peter for not being afraid to show his vulnerabilities. Some listeners may find this episode distressing, as topics include addiction, mental health and suicidal ideation. We hope yous find this episode educational, as Peter highlights the dark side of smoking joints, which has often been glorified by society and the mainstream media. We also hope this episode wakes people up and make them realise that sessoning and taking drugs isn't fun and games as people are making it out to be. You're not cool or hard smoking joints or sniffing patsy on the weekends. It's one of the worst things you can do to yourself, and it'll leave you in a deep, dark hole that you'll struggle to get out of. We hope Peter's story helps you come to this realisation, and if it can help one person, then that's enough for us. We normally don't do this, but please share this episode around to as many people as possible. The topics that we've discussed in this episode are very serious and need to be addressed and taken seriously, so any shares, words of ear, any way to spread this episode to more people would be greatly appreciated by us.

Adam Mulreany is a personal trainer, and he joins us for this episode. The majority of our chat for this episode was based on fitness and debating the good cop-bad cop dichotomy when it comes to dealing with clients. We also chat to Adam about his experience with homelessness and living in a hostel, which was very eye-opening for us and we're sure it'll be the same for you. This episode was organised last-minute, so we would like to thank Adam for agreeing to come talk to us on such short notice.

Adam and Lee Molloy are twin brothers from Clondalkin who have recently launched their self-improvement book, Better Than Before. The release of the book have set them up for a meteoric rise, with various huge opportunities coming their way in the last few months.

Big thanks to the boys for giving us their book, we genuinely appreciate this gift, and we wish yous all the best in your future endeavours!

Overall, this episode was simply a yap between 3 youngfellas where we discussed topics such as fighting, friendship, dealing with internet trolls and more.

This episode we're joined by another up-and-coming Dublin DJ, Conor Gorman. This episode is exactly what you'd expect from a Full Time Podcast episode: a cracker of an episode with loads of tangents in between and topics such as evil bouncers, VAR and how the word 'bird' is actually an endearing term to girls being discussed.

Ger Redmond has a fascinating story. His story is one of promise, tragedy and redemption. He joins us for this episode to chat about changing multiple generations and not just his own, ownership and taking responsibility, Coolock Running Club, and Ger also shares a mad story about a time when he took Ayahuasca and how it affected him.
