Welcome along to the Indosport Podcast, second episode of the day, and I'm thrilled to be joined by Will Slattery again. Hi, Ronan. Thanks for the introduction. I'm thrilled to be here. And also thrilled to have Shane Breakfast Brennan recording here at the ungodly hour of six minutes past four. Shane.
This is ridiculous. I'm consoling myself by saying that it is the morning time somewhere in America. So now that we're all getting into World Cup time zone, maybe the breakfast part of me might be more appealed to that.
Ireland A.M. would never. Like, everyone's bemoaning the overnight World Cup we're about to embark into and Shane's loving it.
Like, these are his waking hours. You live on mountain time, I think, don't you? Very much. Yeah, you never really transition back to... Mentally, I'm in Denver.
I have to say, I'm really feeling the World Cup fever. Doing the World Cup fever and the Knicks nausea which is coming around. Too much is going on.
Knicks nausea.
I don't think there's enough Tylenol to... Tylenol, do you hear me? Tylenol to try and
soothe all of these symptoms mentally I'm in Denver does sound like a very famous country song mentally I'm in Denver earlier on we did have a football show chaired by Will and Lana largely good vibes considering it was off the back of a defeat for Ireland in France but that doesn't tell the whole story like the vibes are justified
Yeah, vibes are justified. They were big underdogs against France. They didn't get over the line, but the World Cup draws we went into on that podcast offers some hope. Two rounds they need to get through, but certainly in round one, they'll be big favourites. And in round two, there's a lot of kind of good match potentials they could draw. So yeah, definitely still, vibes are good.
I really like the end of that show as well. Will Slattenborough is among us, giving us all this great information about the lifespan of octopi. It was fantastic stuff.
Yeah, you have Paul, the octopus of pilot history. You have an update on Molly the turtle. So, you know, there's lots to get into there.
Potentially my favorite exchange of the Indosport podcast to date was Will and Alana chatting with that last week. So people should dig that out for context. In a parallel universe, we could be sitting here having just qualified for one World Cup, getting ready to take part in another one this week. Alas, no. I put up a video of the Azteca Stadium, just a retweet, and the Guadalajarans were in touch with me. They were like... You know, you bottle it. Like they're saying it in a nice way. It's like, you should really be here. You know, the Czech Republic are sending 1,000 people. There's probably going to be more Irish people in Guadalajara. They're only sending 1,000 fans. At a game we're not even competing in.
How does Donald Trump's relationship with Dana White impact the UFC?
Yeah, I know a lot of people who are heading over there. It's like, you know, we're just going to go. I do wonder as well, now that we're getting into the World Cup, do we as a nation really want the Czechs to do terrible?
in his World Cup are we sitting back watching them live our dream and be like do you know what I want to see you completely fall flat in the first game against South Korea quote Don Draper I was thinking the same thing as he's walking out of the elevator Shane I don't think about them at all two of their matches are at three o'clock in the morning snooze they play the game at Atlanta I think against the Bafana Bafana almost at the Springboks there at about four o'clock I think our time but the Azteca game that's going to be too hard to watch
