Rocky Is A Fu**ing Legend

The Niall Boylan Podcast (They Told Me To Shut Up)

Welcome back to The Rant, where Niall Boylan and Karl Deeter serve up their signature mix of biting humor, fiery opinions, and unfiltered commentary. Episode 2 kicks off with Karl proudly showing off his new microphone—a rare splurge that Niall can’t help but roast: “He opened his wallet, which is unusual for a man of his measure.” From there, the duo dive headfirst into a whirlwind of topics, blending the hilarious with the serious in a way only they can.

The conversation quickly shifts to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with Niall quipping, “If Musk had been in the Oval Office, we’d already have seen a hundred selfies.” Karl jumps in to defend Musk, calling him “the most transformational African in history,” while conceding that Musk’s social quirks often steal the spotlight. The debate heats up as they discuss Trump’s whirlwind return to power, executive orders, and a controversial gender policy. “Donald Trump did more in one night than our government would in five years,” Niall says, to which Karl adds, “We reward mediocrity here, and that’s why nothing changes.”

But it’s not all politics—there’s plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, too. From a bizarre tangent about dogs licking themselves (“Rocky’s a hero. If I could do it, I’d still be in a duvet at the bottom of a well,” says Karl) to a surreal discussion about necrophilia that leaves Niall baffled, the humor is as sharp as it is irreverent. The pair also touch on personal fears and relationships, with Niall admitting, “The only thing that bothers me about death is that I’d miss my wife, and I know she’d miss me.”

With topics ranging from Irish begrudgery to aliens and a brief philosophical dive into the inequality of beauty, this episode is a masterclass in blending lighthearted banter with hard-hitting opinions. As Karl puts it, “Life’s too short to take it all seriously—but there’s a few things we should be pissed about.”

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the rants, or the occasional deep thought, The Rant Episode 2 has it all. Tune in for a podcast experience that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe even question your sanity.
