Anytime Joe was off, myself and Ronan, Alana, the team, we spitball ideas.

Who's going to step up?

What kind of show are we going to do?

And I always say one thing to them that Billy Bean might have said in the film Moneyball.

You're still trying to replace Joe.

I told you we can't do it.

But what we can do is recreate him in the aggregate.

And the aggregate is always a stacked Friday panel of heavy hitters.

It always starts with John Green.

john how are you hello there it always has a virgin media television star dave mcintyre how are you very good thanks and it always has a fanning in this case evan fanning evan how are you getting on very good thanks the last time i met a john green actually outside of the workplace was outside crew park on saturday night where i was watching derry lose to me and uh

Lovely young fella came up to me with a shoe that I had dropped, one of my child's shoes, and he handed it over to me and I chatted away to him.

And I came home and John Green actually texted me and said I was talking to his son the whole time.

It's great to have you all on.

So some stuff that's going on before we go anywhere.
