    S10E20: Shels Shock, Pico's Journey & Weekend Reaction

    29/06/2026 | 54 mins.
    It's the biggest Ireland-Mexico crossover since 1994 as Monterrey based Dan joins big cheese Johnny at home. There's news to discuss. What's the story with Shelbourne's dismissal of Joey O'Brien? What next for Pico Lopes' World Cup odyssey? And what exactly are the Ringmahon Rangers players planning to do on July 19? All of these points feature in an express length show with a few words from Pico on his football friends and tributes from some of his old mentors in the shape of Keith Long and Stephen McPhail. Our mailbag ranges from Pat's pain to Tommy Lonergan love and the latest battery status for Alan Reynolds and Bohs. All of this delivered with the love of a matador costume by our friends at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Planify and Chido

    S10E19: Pico Pride, Pat's Charge & Puzzling Bohs

    24/06/2026 | 46 mins.
    It's a transatlantic effort this week as Houston based Dan joins up with JW from the city that will play host to Pico Lopes' final World Cup group game late on Friday night as his journey now looks likely to continue. From meeting Tajikistan lads in the lift or the travails of tuning into LOITV from a multinational press room, Dan gives his take on the last week while Johnny poses the big questions from home after another puzzling Shels-Bohs encounter, a win for St Patrick's Athletic that might build belief and the verdict on Galway's temporary home. In a packed mailbag there's James McClean book discussions, substitute host feedback and another dose of dodgy box chat. All of this familiarity is brought to you with the help of our friends at Collar & Cuff, Chido, Future Ticketing and Planify

    S10E18 Pico and Dan at the World Cup & Ruaidhri O'Connor in with Johnny

    17/06/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    This week, a momentous nil-nil in Atlanta, the biggest bug scandal since Watergate, a goalkeeper elopes mid season, Liam Boyce gives us his 2c and the Bohs bodhrain bangs on. We got the man who wasn't there in the studio, as Ruaidhri O'Connor keeps Johnny company in Glasnevin before dialling out to an airport bound Dan somewhere in the southern states. But the story is really only about a small African nation and it's Crumlin born defender keeping the world champions at bay. Zlatan couldn't make it, but Rascals, Collar & Cuff, Planify and Future Ticketing all showed up to bring you episode 18!

    S10E17: Catching up with Conan Byrne & Canadian Reflections with Kian Leavy

    10/06/2026 | 52 mins.
    We’re back in business with a slightly different show this week as Conan Byrne dials in to join Canadian based Dan to reflect on the season so far and magic moments in Montreal for Dawson Devoy, Kian Leavy and Adam Brennan. We hear from Kian in a shameless Ardee themed segment before discussing the challenges faced by Dawson in an appearance where he was occasionally left up shit creek. There’s a mid-season themed mailbag with some Derry angst, more Robbie Benson goal nostalgia and a farewell to the verucas. There’s also the quiz question that wasn’t and some Conan halfway line goal nostalgia, all made possible by our friends at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Planify and Chido, our favourite Mexican themed lager.
