Hello everybody, you’re extremely welcome to this week’s podcast/sermon. This week I talk about the Olympics, the time I sold the schematics for a robbery to the IRA, Michael Lowry’s Foxcatcher style ranch for boxers, my old friend Mr. Menendez and Trump VS Baby. I also got out for lunch with some of my young friends from Transition Year and tell them some exciting news.

Thank you for the kind words about myself and Old Ned’s laid back conversation on the first SUNDAY SERMON AFTER PARTY from last week. For those of you wondering, Old Ned DID get in trouble with is wife for doing the podcast and has since asked me to take it down. No chance, I said but with pressure mounting from the Women’s Group it might disappear soon so grab it now!

Hey there Kool Kats! This week we’re doing things a bit differently here at the Sunday Sermon. In the grand tradition of The Talking Dead and Talking Saul, I’ve launched The Sunday Sermon After Party. Originally envisioned as a loose, free form chat about the Sunday Sermon the first episode got off to a bumpy start with our guest and charisma vacuum Old Ned. As always I make audio lemons into sweet, refreshing lemonade for your ears.

With special guest Colin Chadwick (@colinchadwick).

Hello everybody,

Well you’re all very welcome back to the podcast. I was in America for ComicCon and swung by the RNC on my way home. Both fabulous, colourful organisations – I have a great time at both. This week I also muse on PokemonGo and lift my ban on non-Catholics listening to the Podcast. May you all go in peace to love and serve me, Fr. Quigg.

Hello everybody.

You’re very welcome back to the podcast after what must have been a very tough week for you depending on how much you care about man’s inhumanity to man. I’m not too big on that particular topic (who has the time?!?) but I did manage to “rap” about some of the big news stories, including:

•  America’s like lazer quest with bullets.
• Beyonce’s fixing Michael Lowry’s remote control in his hotel room.
•  Wayne from Transition Year review the new “Ghostbusters” film.
•  I make an appeal to the real Sadaam Huessein to come forward and sort out ISIS once and for all.
•  Katherine Zappone transfers from Headbanger Hill to the Oasis of Perpetual Sensibleness.
•  Some headbangers in Galway are putting on a farce called “Couples Counselling” on July 15th – 17th (tickets from galwayfringe.ie)

Hello all. Fr. Quigg here. I’m dictating this over the phone from a wedding down the country to one of the TY’s so if all’s going to plan you’re reading this very words I’m saying out of my mouth right now. It’s a shorter sermon than usual this week but there’s enough time for me to dig into the big issues of the week.

As a treat afterwards there’s a podcast from two headbangers from Hepcat-upon-Dolequeue or some such place. Headbanger Colin Chadwick, a Game Of Thrones insider, dishes the dirt on dragons, water parks and footballer Vinnie Jones’s scene stealing turn as “Dan”, the host of Winterfell’s equivalent of Tool Time.

God bless you and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and give us a good review, otherwise the aforementioned blessing won’t work.

That’s it now, I’m going back into the reception. We’re playing a game of high stakes “Thank You”s where everyone puts ten grand into a glass and passes it around every time someone says “Thank You” in the speech.

Hello everybody. I hope you’re all very well after a wild and emotional week. Ireland won the football (for a bit) and the UK lost the plot (completely). On this week’s sermon I discuss:
– Michael Lowry’s call to David Cameron offering to become the King Of Ireland.
– How Brexit is like the UK going to a drive thru and England ordering for everyone…
– How Brexit is like Robbie Williams leaving Take That….
and other laboured analogies.

Hello everybody, welcome back to the podcast. A lot of this weeks sermon reflects on the life and adventures of Muhammad Ali. From the highs (meeting a young Michael Lowry at Disneyland) to the lows (having to pose for a photograph with Patrick Kielty), Muhammad Ali led an extraordinary life. I also discuss the John Carney vs Keira Knightly debacle, the housing crisis, the inherent smartfulness of priests and Conor McGregor’s hypothetical battle against an intergalactic beetle.

Hello mass dodgers, headbangers and all the faithful. Fr. Quigg here and I hope you’ve been out enjoying all the beautiful weather courtesy of your friend and mine, God. I’ll be sure to tell him you said to say “thanks” for the sunny days we’ve been enjoying, to which I’m sure his reply will be “hey, don’t mention it, it was nothing.”

On the podcast this week I’m deep in preparation mode for Town Day but I still found time to “rap” about the big issues of the day, including:
– Star Wars paying us (Ireland) a lovely visit.
– going to Bruce Springsteen with Alan Shatter to cheer him up.
– Whistleblower Maurice McCabe and headbanger Claire Daly objecting to gross Garda negligence.
– Enda Kenny’s spelling bee success and Seanad appointees.

Hello everybody, welcome back to the podcast.
Exams are in the air at the local secondary school so that means we’re getting lovely weather as God tempts the scholars like Satan in the desert. On this week’s podcast I discuss:

– The “surprise” Leaving Cert.
– A car park built over the remains of a car graveyard.
– News from Cannes about the funding for Michael Lowry’s movie “Rubix’s Cube” and our beef with Martin Scorsese.

Hello everybody. Hope you’re all enjoying the weather. Remember to give thanks to the person who gave you all that great weather, namely God The Son. The warmer it is, the more proof there is that he loves you. That’s not to say he loves those on the equator more than you. He doesn’t. But if he were to, you’d cut him some slack. They’ve a fierce hard time of it, some of them on the equator.

This week I discussed:
– Ireland’s EUROVISION failure (Nicky Byrne)
– Ireland’s EUROVISION hope (a song written by me and Michael Lowry)
– Alan Kelly’s desire to lead the Labour party
– The best Late Late Show ever.

Hello everybody, you’re very welcome back to the Sunday Sermon Podcast. It’s your old pal Father Quigg here dictating this via one of the TY students.

Okay, I’ll take your word on it.

This week I discuss:
– new developments with the weird Dail
– RTE’s excellent looking new series “Young Dumb & Dangerous”
– the London Mayoral elections
– Former Pope Benedict’s little granny flat on the grounds of the Vatican
– finding an exciting new lover for Catherine Zeta Jones
– Netflix’s Marseilles a.k.a. Allo Allo meets House Of Cards.

Hello everybody. To misquote the Beatles I’m back from the USA and I managed to get 20 fridge magnets for the Transition Year students. There’s 30 of them so I’m certain they can come up with some sort of sharing arrangement between them. On this weeks podcast I discuss the Airline edits of “Goodfellas” and “Carol”, the end of the weird Dail, Mother Teresa’s lust for death and the controversial new Beyonce album where she disses her husband Jay Leno. Hop over to itunes to give us a nice review. Myself and the TY’s would really appreciate it. Also, be sure to share it with your friends, lest they be headbangers.

Hello everybody. This week’s podcast is my first since my incident in the cinema where a priestly colleague assaulted me with a thrown shoe. I’m doing much better (thanks for the cards and the cheer up cash, which certainly did the job!) and want to stand as an example as a sort of a superhero to the people of the parish. If you throw a shoe at me, you’re actually only making me stronger so more fool you. Topics discussed this week include the hung parliament, St. Patrick’s Day and the heroes of the Rising.

Here we go again folks! On this glorious day that sees Mick Lowry returned to the Dail, I reflect on his rise to glory and his place as the George Clooney of Irish politics.

In an unrelated note a comedian I do not know – Giles Brody – is putting on a play in Dublin’s Smock Alley Theater on March 1st and 2nd at 9PM. It stars Edwin Sammon (Bridget & Eamon), Philippa Dunne (Diet of Worms, The Walshes), Stephen Colfer (Dreamgun) and Hannah Mamalis (Ripper Street). It’s a farce about a psychiatrist so it should be a big hit with all those headbangers up in Dublin.

In an unrelated note a comedian I do not know called Giles Brody wrote a “hilarious” “farce” called “Couples Counselling”. It stars Edwin Sammon (Bridget & Eamon, Republic Of Telly), & Philippa Dunne (Diet of Worms, The Walsh’s) with Dreamgun’s Stephen Colfer and Hannah Mamalis.
