  • Darragh Ennis was living a totally normal life until he decided to apply for a spot on the hit TV quiz show - The Chase, in hopes of making enough money to make some urgent home improvements, and it quite literally changed his life! In this clip, we discuss the whole process of how Darragh went from being a regular contestant, to becoming one of the elite Chaser's himself, including the moment he almost ignored a phone call from the producers of show after thinking it was a prank call by his friends! He also spills the beans on his fellow Chasers, shares plenty of behind the scenes secrets and he recalls what it was like to appear on the show for the very first time!

      Iv been listening to the pod for years every Monday and Thursday it's the first thing I listen to but Jack might as well have told me to f*ck off, I'm far from an anti vaxer but that covid jab was never going in my body for many reasons and I'm glad I made that choice, so to hear the millions of people who made the same decision as me aren't welcome to listen to the pod was disappointing ,I'm sure nobody will give a shit but they lost a dedicated listener and I'm not the only one ,👍

    Darragh is right its so hard to set questions. I attended a pub quiz every week its just for fun no one takes it too seriously and have been going for two years now love it the people are great we organise it ourselves and let the pub know how many are in attendance and they provide vouchers as prizes but we have guest hosts so we take it in turn and if we want to set a quiz we just let the one who organises if know and man its hard to set 40 questions with a music round on your own. I have so many weird facts that could be questions but it’s finding a way to ask them as questions so people will understand its so hard.

After Seat 1 got caught, player 2 went for a high offer of £40,000 and pretty much romped home with no difficulties. Players 3 and 4 both then went mid and got through. I feel like even if I got caught at the table, I’d still want to stick around and continue watching the recording though, just to see what happens haha.
