As Quinno swans around Sydney, it was left to Ruairi Barnwell to return to the Crafty studio and fill the deminutive shoes. Hurling, Football, Slaggin', Bog walks, Irish networking skills and of course plenty of craic!

It's Quinno's last show before he heads to 'Straya for a couple of weeks, and it was a good 'un. Well, especially if you're interested in Tenacious D, biographies, All Ireland Finals, Dr. Ruth, Alexi Lalas, and Icelandic youth soccer teams. Who isn't?

Cosgrove's back from Ireland and the craic was top shelf. Consider this for a list of topics addressed: singing lessons, the oldest bar in Ireland, Hozier, university orientation, Jurgen Klopp, England's Euros semi-final win, landscapes, Jimmy Anderson, and Alexi Lalas. Sorry about that last one.

Ruairi Barnwell from Ireland Network Minnesota stopped by to talk about how the organization helps build a bridge for newly arrived Irish men and women in the community. The craic was fierce, as you can imagine.

Now that the dust has settled after the end of the Premier League campaign, the boys thought it was time to take a look back at the season as a whole. That, of course, means a visit from the great Carl Craig. Have some!

Quinno was more than a little unwell, but Cosgrove picked up the slack in fine style. It actually ended up being a really fun show, especially if you're a fan of Toronto, Crunchies, USA cricket, watching football at Brit's, and N'Golo Kante. Rory McIlroy fans may feel differently.

Football's coming home! Or is it?

2024/06/12

It's tournament time in Europe and the Americas, and the boys are all over it. Yet, they still managed to squeeze in discussions about lawn mowing, art galleries, Star Wars action figures, Graham Rix's hair, and Saoirse Ronan. Rude not to, really.

Oh good Lord, Nessun Dorma!

The boys celebrated John's birthday in fine style by discussing everything from Jude Bellingham's Spanish to Jose Mourinho's skin. There was even a rare Captain Scarlet reference. Look him up, kids.

The Iowa Tourism Board should sponsor this episode, for reasons which will become obvious when you listen. Other places to get a mention include Munich, Burnley, Plymouth, Barcelona, and Micky's Pub. Four of those places are not in Iowa.

If you're a fan of sahhkerrr, basketball, Jeremy Messersmith, "Bodkin", "MacGruber", GAA, AFL, Art-a-Whirl, Toni Kroos, and The Knack, this is the show for you. If you're a fan of Manchester City or red caps, maybe not so much...but listen anyway.

In this week's episode we learn about John's Mother's Day side gig, international art installations, what you can do with a Business degree, the petulance of substituted players, and the Stations of the Croissant. Despite all of that, this was still a very entertaining show. Go figure.

The craic was mighty on this week's show. The boys discussed everything from hiking and gardening to old-school football managers and what the Mammy is doing in Verona. We're not sure, by the way.

In this one episode, you get a music review, a brilliant football transfer idea, news on the Methodist church, a comment on the current unrest on college campuses, and a considered opinion on Kenny Hibbitt's looks. You know why you get all that? 'Cos it's a Crafty Rogues episode, that's why!

There's good food in San Antonio...Bernardo Silva looked like he hadn't slept for a week...ANZAC Day is a big deal in 'Straya...and if you're the Watford manager, rent don't buy. There, that sums up this week's show quite nicely. Proceed with caution.

John returned from Ireland with stories to tell. From in-flight movies and shark fishing to the Tipperary camogie team and quality pints, the craic was mighty. Gee, there's a shock."

John's headed to the homeland with his son, but not before a pre-trip show that involved female Vikings, lottery wins, a TV show, excessive rain, Mikel Arteta's personality, Cole Palmer's looks, and the relative merits of experts. All the intellectual food groups, really.

Take me to Church

Crafty Rogues ·

2024/04/04

There was a bit of an Easter theme running through this week's show. Why? Well, Manchester City vs Arsenal was dull. John missed the game because he was at church. He was at church to attend Pastor Jeff Cowmeadow's final sermon. Oh, and it was Easter.

The boys were joined in the studio by Andrea Yoch, co-founder and board member of Minnesota Aurora FC. The Aurora's story is a compelling one, and it's doubtful that anyone tells it better than Andrea. This is great stuff.

On this week's show we learned what St. Recovery Day is...it was revealed that Totti loves pineapple on pizza...and there's a growing call for John to be an ambassador for Aer Lingus. It's basically only John and Quinno making that call, but still.

There was a distinct St. Patrick's theme about this week's show, what with the day itself on the horizon, and the imminent arrival of St. Patrick's Athletic FC to take on Minnesota United on Wednesday at Allianz Field. The boys had a chat about both, and were joined by St. Patrick's Athletic's Technical Director, Alan Mathews. Quality craic!
