What ice cream preferences are discussed at the beginning?
The Clare Byrne Show on Newstalk.
With Aviva Insurance.
Yeah, the mildly melted ice burger is the peak of ice creams at this point. Because you can have it at home as well as on the go. You can pop into a shop. It's versatile, you know, buy a big box, bring them home and you're good to go for a couple of days.
OK, Owen, the biscuity external shell is a bit warm for a hot day, I would contend.
Well, not if it's been sitting in a freezer all day.
No, but it just has that texture. Do you know what I mean? It's that mouthfeel. It just doesn't give you freshness like a Solero, for example, which is my favourite at home ice cream.
That is a controversial take, I think. Solero at home is a rogue choice to be going into a supermarket and coming home with a box of soleros. What's wrong with that? I just find that absurd.
The mango ones, orange ones, raspberry ones, mixed berry. They're exceptionally delicious.
One and done. In a shop when you're feeling a bit rogue, when it's like, oh, wow, it's 25 degrees for the first time in two years.
I'll have to get a cone today. I'll have to get one now. Done. Keep the ice cream text coming in on 087 1400 106. You're here to talk about sport, which is wonderful, so we'll forget about ice cream. Actually, they're going to need ice cream, aren't they, at these rugby matches at the weekend? There's a lot going on in very high temperatures.
Yeah, there certainly is. So Bilbao is where the action is at for the Irish provinces. So I'm looking at the forecast here. It's 34 degrees right now in Bilbao. Ulster are going to be playing in that heat later tonight, thankfully for them, but it's only going to dip below 30, I'd say, at around 9pm. So Ulster are playing Montpellier in the Challenge Cup and then tomorrow is the big one when it drops to a freezing cold, 27 degrees Celsius in Bilbao for Leinster against Bordeaux, Begla and both Irish provinces underdogs this weekend.
Tough, tough setting. Luke Fitzgerald is with us on the line, former Ireland international. Hello, Luke.
Hi, Clare. Tough segment to follow up after the ice cream. Isn't it just?
Well, what ice cream do you prefer in the heat?
Are we actually doing this? Yeah, look, I'm a white Magnum man. Solero's just ain't going to cut it. I have to agree with Owen on that one.
Where is the refreshing element in a white chocolate Magnum? Like, where is it?
It's the coldness, Clare. That's the key.
I suppose it's a bit crispy, isn't it? It's got the element of crunch there too, which I can see.
It's got that bit of magic in there. Yeah, yeah. Look, it's the white chocolate does it for me, as you can tell from my new shape after in retirement. I've had a few too many. Clearly, I need to cut it out.
Where are you affording your white magnum habit is the question most people would have, Luke.
Well, listen, I'm a Black Rock boy, so only the finest for me.
He's splashing them around. Magnums all over the place every day of the week, not just a Sunday treat. Luke, do you want to talk about the rugby?
May as well, Carol, while I'm here, yeah.
Listen, Leinster, of course, feeling the heat, pardon the pun, since 2018. I mean, they've had a rough couple of years, four years, not in a row, but three in a row, where they came away with nothing. How are you feeling ahead of this match?
You know, I'm quietly confident. I think, you know, with all the hurt that's gone on, like obviously there's a pressure with that, Clare, but I just think the expectation is just a little bit less given the quality of the opposition they're up against. I think that actually might be something that might play in their favour. I think over the last couple of times, particularly the La Rochelle ones, probably stick out where they had some great opportunities to put the game away. And couldn't get it done. I just think that maybe that little bit of extra expectation might be something that might play to their strengths on the weekend. And I do think they've got an extremely strong squad. We're all looking forward to seeing the line-up that Leo Cullen decides to go with.
