'I'd rather be here than in Philadelphia!'

Sean wonders why some people don't like Philadelphia. He says he wants to defend it.

"Please play Billy Connolly singing Irish Heartbeat?" says Tamnaherin Cowboy. "It's for my wee brother, Ciaran, who's back home from Philadelphia!"

"That's a coincidence," Sean says. "I was talking to someone earlier today who went to live in Philadelphia. And they didn't like it! It sounds a lovely place. But they did not like it!"

"Hello, Mr Coyle!" says The Geezer in Athens.

"Hello, Geezer in Athens," Sean says.

"Supposedly, WC Fields tombstone reads, 'All things considered I'd rather be here than in Philadelphia!'" says Geezer in Athens.

"What's so bad about Philadelpha?" Sean says. "I want to defend Philadelphia! But I can't!"

With music from Christie Hennessy, Niamh McGlinchey, The Beach Boys, and more.
