Chapter 1: What are the latest sports highlights and their impact?
The reviews reign. We'll talk about them later on. Critics, oh critics, oh critics. Anyway, listen, if you're feeling a little bit low today and your self-confidence isn't as high as it normally is, well, spare a thought for Antonin Kinski. I think that's how he referred to his name, Antonin, because in sport, you see, they only use the surname. Kinski, Kinski, Kinski.
He was playing for Tottenham Hotspur last night in a first leg, last 16 tie in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. And he was put on against their normal goalkeeper, Avario.
Chapter 2: Who is Antonin Kinski and what happened during his big match?
So it was a big moment for him. He's from the Czech Republic. He's 22. He joined Tottenham Hotspur last year. So this is his big... opportunity to prove himself to everybody in Tottenham Hotspur, the coaching staff and the fans. So five minutes in, he slips when he goes to kick the ball and one of the Atletico Madrid strikers comes in and scores.
So then about five minutes later, one of the defenders slips and there wasn't much poor Kinski could do about that. 2-0. Five minutes into the game. And then 14 minutes. And Akinski gets a ball. All he has to do is clear it. But he miskicks it. And again, one of the easiest goals that an Atletico Madrid striker will ever score. So 3-0 with just 14 minutes into the game.
You can imagine how that poor man was feeling. And then... to add insult to injury, the ultimate public humiliation, he was subbed off. Now, I don't know if you know much about football. I'm just a casual observer. But it rarely happens that a goalkeeper, barring an injury, is substituted off. So they brought back on Vicario.
I think within a few minutes, he didn't let a goal in, but a goal was scored against him. So 20 minutes, 4-0 down. It ended up 5-2. But poor Antonin Kinski. He's licking his wounds today. How do you recover from something like that? And I know, I know it's sport and that's part of it. Recovery is part of it. I'm sure if you've ever played sport in your life, you've been involved in something.
We were only talking about it last night, Tom and I. There was a guy who, although he wasn't solely responsible, was held responsible for a loss in a Junior 2 Leinster rugby final back in the day. And I met him recently, 40 years on, and he's still psychologically scarred from the impact of it. Now, it was jokey enough, but you could see underneath that he still remembers that day.
And that he felt responsible that we hadn't won that final. Yeah. And do you know the thing about, you know, lift your heads, lads, lift your heads. I've been in situations, I don't know about you, where it's impossible to lift your head. And, like, I would imagine for Spurs, four nil down, 20 minutes in, like, you're just going, oh, ground open up, swallow me. Referee, blow full time.
That's the... Yeah, often, you've often been in that situation where you just want the referee to blow it up. I see sometimes in school sports that the coaches...
tell their teams once they're so many goals up just to not score anymore I think that's a good thing is it I don't know although you have to be sort of ruthless in sport eventually in the adult world anyway not that we should take comfort from other people's misfortune but reading about poor Antonin Kinski this morning yeah he's in our thoughts he's in our thoughts anyway
Tell you who's in our thoughts as well. Micheál Martin. He's over meeting Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain at the moment. And then next week, of course, for St. Patrick's Day, he's going to be in the White House and not only in the White House, but in the Oval Office sitting beside himself. That's going to be difficult. That's going to be particularly difficult.

Chapter 3: How do athletes cope with public humiliation after a loss?
There's a segment in which Gaines tears apart young women on his Fresh and Fit show. And I can't even quote it to you. It's so disgusting what these people believe and what they say about women. It's misogyny on steroids. And it's a difficult job then as an interviewer
to navigate that isn't it anyway Louis Theroux does that and it's on Netflix and I'm looking forward to seeing that but just the interview then like a few things you know she says when would you cry Louis he says chopping onions and then she says did you cry when your kids were born and he elongates the word wow I don't think I did no he says did you cut the cord she asks
No offence, Charlotte, but that's a kind of a cheap way of getting to a deep place. That's like a podcast interview where they go, he puts on a mocking voice. What was your lowest ebb? He says, I joke with my friends about these podcasts. What was your lowest ebb? What's the worst thing that ever happened to you? Like, really? He says.
Then they talk about money because he says that in the manosphere, they are impressed by your height, the amount of hair you have, the length of your penis and the amount of money you have. So on the back of that, she asks, how much money do you earn, Louis Theroux? Come on, he says. But she points out that he raised it and he asked others, he asks others that question himself.
And then he says to that, I probably have, I wouldn't expect to get an answer. What does he spend his money on, she asks. And he starts mocking me again. What was the most expensive thing you bought? I feel like I could write better questions, Charlotte, he says to his interviewer. Yeah, it's worth a read. It's worth a read. Charlotte Edwards interviews Louis Theroux in a testy exchange.
And you would think that a man who makes a living out of interviewing people would be probably more understanding, empathetic of somebody who has to interview him. But there you go. That's Louis Theroux. Yeah. Yeah, we'll come back to the reviews. The reviews are in. But first, we have to see if we can contact Bernard O'Shea. Bernard O'Shea from Limerick. Come in, Limerick. Come in, Limerick.
Do you hear us, Dublin? Yes, yes. Dublin, do you hear us, Dublin?
We have the technology limerick.
Here are the votes from the Reykjavik jury.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the Dad Bod in contemporary culture?
Yes, yes. So like, but it's just one of those phrases. And it's kind of like, to be honest with you, sometimes I think it'd be more helpful if particularly going into a shop and it was like, if it just went... Here are the jeans if you're 18 to 24. Here are the jeans if you're... Here's the jeans if you're a father or an owl lad. You know, like they're going to fit you. They're not too expensive.
There isn't anything nuts on them.
You know, like... The problem is, of course, that some men... and women, they want to dress younger than they are. And that, see, that poses a problem. So you would look at the array in front of you and you would see, you know, 18 to 25, 25 to 35, you know, 35 plus. And you go, I'm not going up there, although I'm 60. I'm going down to the 18 to 25 pile. Well, Ray, you've hit a sore spot.
So I was in a shop two years ago. My whole hour of stand-up is based on this, the current tour. And I was in a shop and I was... The minute I went in, I went, I know I'm in the wrong shop because, like, are these men's? I'm in the men's section? Like, what am I in here, right? And I saw a T-shirt for 170 quid and I thought, I bought a three-door Nissan Almera for 170 quid, right?
Like,
back in the day right and I was I actually said to the young lad behind the counter you know do you have I was looking at the jeans and the largest ones like it's a 28 waist and I went that won't go around my ankle genuinely that won't it actually wouldn't go past my knee right and I said you don't have these in a 46 waist and he did he actually went he actually did that I don't
I have a whole thing built around it. But he's probably right. He was going, and I panic farted, you know, which is the worst, you know, like, you know, so it's like, but it is the worst when you're in a shop. Because, by the way, if you panic fart, don't do that thing where you walk away and go, oh, I think they, everyone knows it's you. Everyone knows it's you. So, but.
What's the best thing to do then? Do you acknowledge it and go, excuse me? Just leave. Just leave. Leave. Or if you have a child, blame it on them. It's good advice. That's good advice. Yeah. But, You know, I joke now saying I like there's a comfort in going into shops down the country called the man's shop. Yes. Because they just get you straight away when you go in.
And I don't think it's a stylistic thing. I think it's like, like I've always dressed older. Right. Whereas I have friends of mine, they always dress, you know, younger. Or say, for instance, if you were like when I went to the Oasis concert in Croke Park. Right. Well, there I go. Concert, gig, whatever happening. When I went to the Oasis gig...

Chapter 6: How does Bernard O'Shea define a Dad Bod?
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. The man or woman who is actually in the arena. Yeah. I came up with my own one.
Oh.
Yeah, it's going to be there. It's going to be the big quote. A critic is like a man who knows all the recipes, but can't or who never cooks.
Love it.
So they know all the bits and pieces and all that sort of thing.
Say it again.
No, I won't. I won't. Theodore Roosevelt, you're code safe. You're code safe. Brenny Brown. You're code. Because I remember my mum quoted somebody, quoted Mandela, and then she found out, she was very disappointed because she found out that it wasn't actually Mandela who the quote came from. It was somebody else. It was that we all fear how great we can be.
Yeah, well, it's like the Stokes, who I like to talk about a lot, the Stokes and the Buddhists, but like the Stokes would say an external event, okay, that has no power to harm a person's true character. So you have to try to maintain inner tranquility. So it's basically just shrugging your shoulders.
Getting on with it.
