In this fiery episode, Niall is joined by Pauly Tryvaud — social commentator, chef, and outspoken restaurant owner — for a no-holds-barred discussion about youth unemployment, government responsibility, and personal accountability.

Before diving in, Pauly can’t resist unleashing a passionate rant about the latest budget, calling out what he sees as waste, hypocrisy, and a government “totally out of touch with real people.”

Then, the conversation heats up as Niall and Pauly tackle a controversial new policy from the UK — where the government plans to guarantee jobs for anyone aged 18–25 unemployed for 18 months or more. In return, those who refuse work will lose their benefits.

Is this a smart way to get young people working again — or a dangerous step that punishes the vulnerable? Should Ireland take the same approach?

Listeners call in with strong opinions: one argues that “work builds character and confidence,” another says “forcing people into low-paid jobs isn’t a solution,” and one young caller admits, “there’s nothing out there worth taking.”

Expect heated words, sharp insights, and a few laughs — because when Pauly’s on the mic, nothing is off the table.
