The Group Chat Has Fallen
Aoife and Ciara return from a week that started with a simple question, where should we go for Niamh's birthday, and ended with two people leaving the chat and one creating a splinter group.
- A forensic timeline of the group chat collapse, with screenshots read aloud
- The weather app said sun on Tuesday and Aoife wore the wrong coat on principle
- Ciara's gym man now narrates his rest periods as well
- Your Week, Our Problem: a listener in Galway had her wheelie bin stolen and then returned, cleaner
- Dishes tally: Ciara loses, and the sound of the sink confirms it
Next week: the Christmas plans conversation, far too early.
Transcript
Right, it is Sunday night, the kettle is on, and this is Grand, So: The Week. I am Aoife Brennan and across the table, already annoyed, is Ciara. Hello Ciara. Great. So this week the big story is the group chat. Fourteen people, one birthday, one simple question about a venue, and by Thursday there was a breakaway republic. We have the timeline, we have the screenshots, and we have Ciara's role in it, which she will deny. We also need to talk about the weather app, which promised sun on Tuesday, and I believed it like a fool. And then a listener in Galway has sent us the strangest bin story I have ever heard. Loser does the dishes, as always. Put your feet up, this one got away from us. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts!
