What are Joe's reflections on his recent holiday in Spain?
This is an Irish independent podcast. Welcome, everybody. It's June the 1st. Happy Bank Holiday Monday. I'm still on holidays. This is pre-recorded. I'm not back. I'm not intending to come back for as long as possible, at least another week. And then who knows? That would be a hell of a move to come back from your holidays on a bank holiday. Yeah. No, this is pre-recorded. Ronan, Will here, of course, you've heard them there. We're recording on the 20th of May.
21st of May is my birthday by the way I'm off tomorrow oh happy birthday it's a big 4-1 ah jeez can you believe it because last year's big 4-0 really went under the radar last time Joe took a midweek day off randomly and I just presumed it was the case again he was doing a gig in the convention centre with
And then he just dropped this out of the bag. He's like, Dan Carter, Roy Keane. I can't even remember. Who else was there?
Dan Carter, Roy Keane, Martin Johnson. Jim McGuinness. Jim McGuinness. John Kiley. John Kiley. Oh, dozens of names. Daryl O'Rourke, Annalise Murphy, Kelly Holmes. It just went on. You did like four dream interviews in one day.
Yeah.
When I saw your request to stay off, I just presumed, oh, he's doing that again. Who's he talking to this time? We'll hear about it on Friday.
God, somebody emailed in going, you never, you talked a lot about your 40th birthday and what you were going to do and, you know, life is for living. You never actually clarified what did you do? Or what was the, you know, did you book a trip to the Masters or did you have at least a gathering of loved ones? I did nothing. What did you do? I did nothing. Nothing. My parents came over to the house. What day was it on? I can't remember. Whatever the weekend. I mean, we wait until the Saturday or the Friday. My mom and dad came over to the house and the two kids were there, my wife. That was it. It's nice. So look, we're recording on Wednesday. You've kindly printed out all the things I'm going to miss. I do feel it is a strange weekend to sign off as in the Premier League finale.
I know that's been undercut slightly by... the Arsenal already winning. Leinster Bordeaux, Will Slattery, happy to step up on Monday and talk about that, I'm sure. And Kerry Donegal. And then final round of Leinster Hurley. I mean, Kilkenny could have been dumped out for all we know. Premier League finale, yeah. Ireland Qatar on May 28th. I can live without that one. You're okay with that one. But I am going to miss, and it's just happened, PSG 3, Arsenal 0. Armagh Derry the Ronan Connan Derby as it's built here URC quarter finals and yesterday just yesterday Dublin Louth and Monaghan Mayo so yeah I'm missing quite a bit of sport but I'm sure you guys have ably stepped in it's a good yeah are you going to get to watch much of it when you're away I wouldn't say much I'll certainly watch the Champions League final and I'll certainly watch Leinster Bordeaux and by this day I would love to watch Kerry Donegal but well you haven't been you wouldn't have left for that yeah I wouldn't have left watch the highlights
By the time we get to this day in real life, you'll have hopefully read Michael Connolly's first book in his series, The Black Echo, and we can maybe get a book review when you get back.
Yeah, maybe. I've just started The Correspondent first, which is widely recommended, so I may have to... I'll see how I go. I knew you wouldn't read it. I read a lot of books on holidays. I'll get through three or four. It's second on the list. Second on the list.
Look, he doesn't need me to defend him. He's sold over 50 bestsellers, so he can get by without you reading it, but my feelings will be hurt.
We're going to bring people David Gillick, by the way. This isn't just us.
yapping on yeah the reason we've been at the moment it feels that way though we landed on this time capsule format because the last time we did a bank holiday special we recorded it on the morning of Ireland Czechia yes so you've already kind of snuck in your prediction for the Champions League final there 3-0 is a lot Arsenal are good defensively 2-0 2-0
