Hello and welcome to the kick-off with myself, Cachal Minogue. We are up and running again. It's more than halfway through the season now and it was a busy week of football. I'm delighted to say this is very exciting because not only is this man an Irish football legend, but he's also a legend of Marconi House, today FM Towers, where this show is being recorded. It's the one and only Kevin Kilbane. How are you, sir?
I'm very good, Carl. Yeah, very, very good indeed. Legend is probably an overused word, I think, for a lot of us when you finish. Hardly a legend, honest to God.
Yeah, well, look, you're definitely a legend in this building anyway. Yeah, that might be a good thing. I'll take that. I'll take that. Yeah, for people that don't know, you used to work on Off the Ball. And I joined Today FM just around the same time that you decided to go dancing on ice. And then you left Off the Ball. So I was kind of coming in as you were coming out. But there was always the great stories about Kevin Kilban. And I used to work on the Dermot and Dave show. And there was Kevin Kilban and the ice cream van was the song at the time. So you're still talked about to this day around this building.
I'll let you know. Let me tell you. I get more mileage out of the ice cream van than most things, let me tell you. Honest to God, I can't believe that one. How many people have mentioned that to me over the years? How are things in Canada? Everything's good. Everything's really good, yeah. Obviously, now we're into the new year. We're looking forward now to the World Cup, which is coming in, what, six months' time at this stage now. So everyone's getting excited, even the hockey nuts and the... The baseball nuts, whichever sport that you follow over here, even them are gradually now swaying towards a bit of the soccer, as they say over here.
OK, well, that's good because that's exactly what you want when you're with the World Cup. You want to get people excited that where it's coming around and you want to bring new people into the sport as well. So you never know, you might have a few hockey players converting into into soccer players over there.
I think that's what it's about, isn't it? And it's the truth. I think we have it ourselves with the GAA and the rugby and everything like that, that if you can convert some of them to play the different game, we know the athletes that we have produced over the years, haven't we? We've, in so many different codes, both male and female, that, If we can get them, you know, I think for us, from our point of view, we know that football, that soccer is the most participated sport in Ireland. We know how big it is. But if you can convert a few, these athletes, I think, could go on and have good careers for themselves if they actually did convert, you know?
In terms of the time difference over there and you covering games, you work for TSN.
That's right.
That's right. So afternoon games, you're just working in the morning. Is that the way it kind of is? Do you find it hard to keep up with games or is it all fine? It...
It depends. Primarily over here, we'll cover a lot of the MLS.
