April 23, 2022 Eddie Hayes: The Man Who Can Get You Out Of Anything
Whether he was representing Robert DeNiro or the estate of Andy Warhol, working homicide in New York City or defending his friends, Eddie Hayes won respect wherever he went. In this deep dive conversation he talks to me about the route he took from being a street fighting kid struggling to survive his abusive father to fighting the biggest cases for the biggest clients imaginable. He reveals why the art business was far dirtier than the mafia, explains why he feels no remorse for “hurting people” along the way, his dealings with Trump, the one time Ghislaine Maxwell made a pass at his wife, the sting he created to fix a problem for DeNiro and much much more. I couldn’t have enjoyed this conversation more. Huge thanks to our mutual friend Marion McKeone for setting this conversation up for me.

April 22, 2022 Is This The End Of Netflix? (Ron DeSantis Takes On The Mickey) Irishman In America With Marion McKeone
I sat down with Marion McKeone for our usual Friday catch up on all things America and one story jumped to the top of our list. The crash of Netflix’s stock this weekend has been epic. Some are saying that the worst is yet to come as subscribers leave the platform behind. Marion explains what is behind the shift and tells me if there is any saving the giant or will Apple, HBO, Prime & Hulu swallow it whole. Ron DeSantis is looking more and more like the Republican candidate for 2024 no matter what the Orange Lad thinks. Is his latest publicity stunt as the anti-woke guru enough to win Trump’s voters in Florida? We also get Marion’s recommendation for what’s good this weekend.

April 08, 2022 Sarah Palin Is Back! Or Is She? (Ukraine Update, January 6th & Will Smith) Irishman In America With Marion McKeone
Due to Continuing covid symptoms Irishman Abroad podcasts are running a little behind schedule. But this episode is definitely worth the wait. Sarah Palin is running for Congress but are the people of Alaska interested in the Masked Singer contestant? Donald Trump seems to think so. He backed the so-called hockey Mom/MAGA innovator to win. What are the chances that Donald will flip his opinion on Putin as his war crimes continue to disgust Americans? His sense of what is the most popular opinion might be so out of whack that it could cost him the Presidential nomination. Jarlath asks Marion if the atrocities in Bucha have changed anything in how America views this war and if the average Joe is paying attention to this and the January 6th investigation. Finally Marion answers a listener's question about Will Smith and where he might find redemption.
