What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an Irish independent podcast.
And you are very welcome along to the latest edition of the IndoSport podcast. Ronan here with you on this Thursday afternoon, as is my fellow producer, Will Slattery-Esquire. Will, how are things?
Hello, Ronan. No John Malloy in the producers, just simply the producers.
Yeah, this is like if the Four Seasons just can Frankie Valli and we're like, we're going back solo again. It's about time they got their own kind of platform. So yeah, it's good for us as well. Yeah, I do acknowledge Joe is conspicuous by his absence off sick yesterday, which was signposted for those who listened on Tuesday. This week is all over the place with the bank holiday.
Yeah, Tuesday.
But some of you might have a Rick Dalton once upon a time in Hollywood-esque reaction tonight. You're like, wait a minute, because there's hopefully a very good chance you're going to see him for the Six Nations show.
coverage this evening he had booked this day off quite far in advance in fairness I feel like he's kind of walking a HR tightrope whereby if he appears on television tonight having Colin sick for work yesterday I think a doctor's note needs to be produced to see just how sick he was and the exact timelines of his miraculous Lazarus-like recovery
We did have an email from Donal. This came in late doors yesterday evening and did make me laugh. Is there a universe where Joe misses the Six Nations opening night with illness and will step seamlessly into the breach to launch his TV career a la Leonard Bernstein stepping up for the New York Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall? Get well soon from Donal.
Donald, I like where your head's at. I was thinking that myself. Is there a possibility? Kind of like, you know, when Felipe Conte Pomi got injured at Croke Park. Johnny Sexton got the collar, but he never looked back. Look, you know, stranger things have happened. Well, perhaps not, but I would... Look, we'll see tonight. Look, how many people would need to go down with illness?
This is a very fun conversation.
We're assuming Tommy Martin will be next in line. However, he may be in Paris. So let's pretend that he's actually in Paris doing the silent reporting, as he often does. Which he has been, yeah. They do have a kind of a fairly deep panel of TV people there.
Some top broadcasters. Dave McIntyre, for example, is also commentating in Paris. He can't do it. He's doing the Super Bowl coverage at the weekend, so he would have been... All things being equal, he probably would have stepped into the breeze, but he can't be everywhere.
Yeah, there's Anne-Marie Keegan, Dirt Tracy, Bernard O'Toole. So there's a couple of people there. But they might, you know, there's a world where they say, you know what? Tommy Bo. Tommy Bo, sorry, he's an obvious one. But look, he might be tired after his morning shift. He's already gone to bed because, you know, he has to get up early for Morning Ireland. So he's actually, he's asleep. He can't take the call. They need someone. I'll keep my phone on.
Yeah, I think they're going to be ringing your Tommy Bows, your Martin Kings, and if all of these say no, then you might be getting the call.
Martin King doing the coverage would be very enjoyable. If it wasn't me, Martin King would be my second choice.
Yeah, what's the forecast for this evening?
You take it any way you want. Well, the thing is, the weather is going to be poor, so that could actually be a talking point. So Martin, I'm sure, would be able to speak very eloquently about the weather and its impact.
What was the game Joe was banging on about the weather in advance of and then it was a total non-factor in the end? Do you remember that? He spent like half the pre-match analysis. I think it was at Dublin Armagh last summer.
I think it was the All-Ireland final. Yeah, he kept mentioning... No, it was the All-Ireland final, you're right. It was Donegal Kerry and he was like, forecasting. He's like, I've been checking the forecast. We're like, why did he bring this up?
Yeah, because as people will remember, the weather was not a factor in that game.
