Oh sit down (next to me)...

After a week in which John debuted as a stand up comic, Quinno went to work in an Hawaiian shirt and FIFA granted the World Cup tournament to Saudi Arabia, one of those things is bound to make your eyes roll...

This means nothing to me, ahhhh (Rapid) Vienna.

It was a very intimate, personal start to the show this week. In the first three minutes, John maintained that he wouldn't pardon his son, and Quinno revealed some nasty on-field abuse he once copped. Imagine what's in the other 40 minutes or so!

Gout, gout, let it all out!

2024/11/27

This week's pre-Thanksgiving episode is best summed up by a cross-section of topics mentioned: Gout...Billy Connolly...Pickleball...flying...schadenfreude...the Wankdorf Stadium...Eric Gates...Dungeons & Dragons...and Cards Against Humanity. Good luck finding that lineup anywhere else!

It's all done with Smokie and mirrors.

Yes, there was a bit of sahhkerrrr and rugby talked about, but the cultural scope of this week's show also encompassed a card game, the new dodgy stick, Smokie, Suzy Quatro, Olivia Rodrigo, Graham Norton, and Sonny Bono. Didn't see that last one coming, did you?

How to summarize this week's show? Let's just throw some random stuff out there and see what sticks. Slopey football pitches...Billie Eilish...northern referees...David Coote...Apple TV...doom spending...divisiveness and intolerance...Liam Delap...Keb' Mo'...and meeting new people. Something for everyone

The election is over, and the people have spoken - loudly! In other news, John invented an accent, Quinno went to Duluth, and 'pique' is an excellent Scrabble word. Did we mention that the election is over?

The times, they are a-changin'

2024/10/31

With an election on the horizon, the boys delivered a show full of references to sport, airports, rock bands, TV shows, and New Zealand accents. Okay, there was some election stuff, too. But mainly sport, airports, rock bands, TV shows, and New Zealand accents.

Bad Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Jet lag, shmet lag! The show must go on, and it did. The boys touched on topics as diverse as wine, beer, Leon Bridges, Sharon Horgan, colonialism, Vini Jnr, Erling Haaland, Danny Welbeck, flight cancellation protocol, and...wait for it...Troy Parrott. Yes, THAT Troy Parrott!

Leaving on a jet plane.

The boys came straight from the sahhkerrr field to record this episode. We're not kidding. Quinno still had his shin pads on, and John was a full-kit wanker. It's tasty stuff.

Every Roseville has its thorn

Crafty Rogues ·

2024/10/10

It was a very Minnesotan show this week. There were shout-outs for Grand Marais, New Ulm, the Vikings, the Lynx, the Loons, and of course, Monday night Fall League in Roseville. Rude not to.

I'm feeling Gladwell all over.

THC drinks, cold showers, Homecoming, debates, authors, bands, bots, singing lessons, and father & son football. In other words, this week's show. Have some.

All you need to know about this week's show is that it went from South Dakota to South Minneapolis and from Barrow in England to Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. Buckle up

Tom Waits for no man.

A lot was revealed, discussed, and analyzed on this week's show. But nothing was more insightful than this: Brighton & Hove Albion's stadium needs an amperstand. Think about that.

Mother and child reunion

The Mammy was in town, so Cosgrove and Quinno were on their best behavior. Well, sort of. You know, except for the gags about eating neighborhood pets. Come on, what did you expect?

Pilot of the airwaves

2024/09/05

There was an eclectic mix of topics discussed on this week's show. Here's a taster: radio, Casey Kasem, internal house painting, Celtic vs Rangers, NFL stadium drink prices, and the value of joining a team. Proceed at your own risk.

Thank God I'm a country boy.

There are many teaching moments in this week's show. Don't confuse 'man dip' with 'man sauce' is one of them. As is, never read the comments section. Both are just common sense, really. You're welcome.

Keep on mocking in the free world.

"There's a lot of top-shelf craic sprinkled throughout this week's show. And among the "toppest shelfest" (technical term) is the list of the best gags from the Edinburgh Fringe. If you like hearing two grown men cry with laughter, it's the segment for you!

I don't want to go to Chelsea.

It's Premier League preview week with the great Carl Craig, who added his football wisdom AND his musical stylings to the show. Cosgrove made some bold predictions, Carl made some bold cultural references, and Quinno did his best to keep up. Hey, the Poch took the USMNT job! This could be fun.

Since you've been gone.

Quinno's jet lag be damned, the boys were in sparkling form this week. Especially if you're a fan of the Calm app, the North Sydney Bears, political optimism, Olympic backstories, and the Fermanagh women's GAA football team. Let's be honest, who isn't?

Allez Les Fools

Crafty Rogues ·

2024/08/02

The show had a distinctive French flavor this week, which seemed appropriate as the Olympics got under way in Paris. What happens when you replace a simple sandwich maker from Australia with a chef from France? You get extra sauce where even a humble ham and cheese sandwich gets a little "Je ne sais pas quoi".
