Love the podcast lads, living in NY and have not missed a podcast since ye started. Ye have had some great guests on the show with brilliant interviews. One man that i would love to hear on the show is Pat Dolan, he comes up on yer show a lot and I’m sure he has a lot to tell from his time in the league . Hoping ye can pull it off !!!!!!!
Love this show. John and Dan have great chemistry and obvious respect for each other. Nearly always objective ;-). Never miss it.
Great bunch of lads who have a real genuine love of the LOI. Very informative and to the point. Also the chemistry of the two is brilliant, they’ll defo come to blows some day but make up quickly.
At the same time I don’t know if Johnnys been hanging around Hugh Cahill too much or what but leave the personal opinions on politics to one side. We’ve to hear enough from the likes of Cahill on RTE so we could do without that on here.
