Potholes & Penguins

We are live from Belfast, touching, caressing and sniffing each other and it is glorious. We are in a Lions frenzy as we prepare to board a flight to Edinburgh for the first game of the Lions series against Japan. We talk misleading media headlines, Irish 7’s success, Lions squad permutations and what it would be like if Pat Lam smashed your face off a Jukebox. Off we go 🕳🐧🚀

Congrats to the Irish 7’s team on qualifying for the Olympics well you heard it here first! We had the main man Harry McNulty on the show last week and it’s pretty clear how much this meant to him and that special group of players. Full episode over on our Patreon page

Season finale! We wrap up our first season by looking forward to a year of Blockbuster films, a Lions Series and the death of fragile masculinity. Who makes our Lions 15? That’s right we don’t really care for that but we’ll play along.

On today’s show we go through the top 5 Ronan O’Gara moments that don’t end up in getting his head kicked in or pissing off the Queen. We dive into Leinster and Ulster’s European shortcomings, finalise our Lions squads and Mike Prendergast joins us from Paris to be anointed as a Hero for the Energia AIL 🕳🐧🚀

Join us this week as Barry brings us on a weird and wonderful pilgrimage around the River Shannon. He recounts the many encounters of the journey including the baptism of Paulie by Pat the Baptist. Why Graham Rowntree is the latest to get a trucker hat & absolutely 'love it'. Trimby's Silly Little Bit welcomes the less thrilling rivalry emerging from last weekend. 🕳🐧🚀

On this weeks show we tiptoe around Ireland getting hammered by France like you would if you saw someone fall over but knew they were ok and you were in a rush so you kept going. As its Oscar's week we give our two cents on some of the nominees & are joined by 9 time AIL winner Andrew Thompson. 🕳🐧🚀

On today’s show Trimby gets ratty about being slagged and takes it out on Munster and Prince Phillip. Meanwhile Barry designs a water park on Robben island while Dermy imagines what it would be like to go out with the sister of the top points scorer in AIL history.

On today’s show we imagine what life would be like if we convinced ROG to return to Ireland. Failing that maybe we could bottle him and spray him on our clothes to inspire us all and make us more successful. We dive into our highlights from the weekends European rugby and welcome a new hero of the AIL from Trinity college Dublin.

We hold a vigil for Munster rugby and imagine a world where instead of being massacred by Leinster they flame-throw their way to victory. Trimbys expert analysis suggests cloning Leinster is the only option and we introduce our first hero of the All Ireland league.

To celebrate Ireland’s win over England we celebrate the obvious class things Ireland did the not so obvious things. Trimby tells us of a not so welcome return of a family member and Barry dreams of Johnny Wilkinson being his local cannabis supplier. We also pick our starting Lions 23 after a cracking finish to the Guinness 6 nations. 🕳🐧🚀
