#19 - Gift Grub – Forty Shades of Green
The Gift Grub crew got into the spirit of St Patrick's Day with their uniquely Irish take on 50 Shades of Grey - Forty Shades Of Green. Things got an-gnéasach...
#18 - Gift Grub – Garda Breath Test
Garda Commissioner Noírín O'Sullivan came under fire back in 2017 after the Garda breath test scandal. And rightfully so. Such lies lads!

#16 - Gift Grub – Leo & Kylie Letter
A couple of months back, Leo Varadkar's fan mail to Kylie Minogue went viral in the Irish media. But why so much fuss over a bit of Government headed paper?

It's Stan vs Eminem all over again...

#14 - Gift Grub – Michael D Meets Michael D
Six months prior to Michael D Higgins becoming president for the first time, Mario met with the minister at an Outside Broadcast in Galway. To honour the scholar, he wrote a special poem about Miggeldy's beloved Galway United. He also left a few lines for our Uachtairáin and he smashed it!...
#13 - Gift Grub – Sir Alex In The Dressing Room

#10 - Gift Grub – Hector v Hector
He's one of Ireland's most famous Gaeilgeoirs and a ball of pure energetic craic. So imagine what two Hector Ó hEochagáins would be like? Mario surprised the Navan man live in studio and it was just as nuts as you'd expect. But could our listener tell the difference between 'Hector 1' agus 'Hector 2'?
#9 - Gift Grub – Roy Meets Roy
You'd want to be a brave man to gaze into the deathly eyes of Roy Keane whilst taking the p*ss out of him, but Mario was in his element at the task. He and Keane sat down mano-a-mano and the real Roy couldn't help but laugh...
#8 - Gift Grub – José & His Amazing Technicolor Overcoat

This song was also the official Christmas No.1 in Ireland that year...
#4 - Gift Grub – "De De"
'Bertie' joins Iano to have a look back at forty years of Top of the Pops, but when it comes to English post-punk band The The - the two lads lose it altogether! (Ian had a chest infection at the time - hence his voice)...
#3 - Gift Grub – The FOGs Perform 'Shotgun'
Ronan 'ROG' O'Gara, Alan 'Quinny' Quinlan and Paul 'Paulie' O'Connell (or The FOGs as they're known) covered one of the biggest song of the summer ahead of their clash with the All Blacks.
George Ezra wouldn't tie their laces!
And they even threw in a Breakfast Show jingle. Talk about spoiling us...
#2 - Gift Grub – Sky Sports GAA
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear the Sky Sports football pundits commentate on GAA? Well back in 2014 (way before Jeff and Kammy's Road To Croker) Mario gave us a taste of what we could expect....

#1 - Gift Grub - Dry Your Eyes Becks
