No we don't, George was "petrified" by the avian flu, God knows what state he is in now.

You need the SC more than ever now!
Love listening when out for a solo early jog each morning. It will be interesting to hear them go deep into some stories as that is their strength in my opinion.

Acosta

I'll stay subscribed and give them support for as long as possible, but like most I'm going to be out of work for months. I don't find David O'Doherty funny so that's not going to cut it.

It was nice to see Ken question Leo's speech to the nation a bit. Just because everyone wants to put on the green jersey doesn't mean journalist's should give up questioning politicians motivations.

Arghus

I can't complain really. No sport and the lads bring out more content, not less. Top men.

CiaranW

I for one am enjoying the DO'D content, he's hilarious.

Grumpy Ken is always good and edgy too! Did he mention he was off the smokes the other day?

No smokes and no football make Ken go something something!

Icemancometh

I don't think Ken is a morning person.

He sounded particularly despondent on today's pod.

The first DoD podcast I thought it wouldn't be for me but I found it more entertaining today. 2 pods a day is great. Need content these days now than before.

Ol' Donie

So I've 2 David O'Doherty and one US Murph pod to catch up on.

The decision has been. It's beer and videogame night.

I still can’t get listening to them due to sheer volume of podcasts and not being working. The McCaffrey one and the US Murph ones didn’t survive the cull, though the latter never does.

Jack McCaffrey is a very impressive individual isnt he

Seems a very normal lad for one of the best players in the country and having such a tough job

He sounds like he was forced out of bed to record the podcast.
The concept of breakfast sounds like it repulses him.
I imagine he is a coffee and cigarette kind of guy.

He sure is. 5 SFC, 3 All Stars and one Footballer of the year (all that and still took a year out '16 to travel that world with a stint in Ethiopia as Goal ambassador), a doctor, great communicator and he's only 26! Oh and he's a Northsider to boot.

He's been a great addition when he has been on and while a lot here don't like US Murph the story of their fledgling bromance is pretty funny.

He is well paid and well looked after by the Gaa

This is probably just another lad that didn’t get picked at Under 12 and has hated the GAA ever since.

The gaa should take a leaf out of the FAI and their treatment of LOI players and treat them with absolute contempt

Brock Turnpike

The GAA, and large cohorts of the wider GAA community can go and **** themselves with their "aren't we great?" mindset and trying to take credit for ABSOLUTELY everything that's going on .

Raisins

Jack McCaffrey: Wash your hands.

GAA: No probs you can use Croke Park as a test centre.

Brock: Stop taking credit for f** EVERYTHING!!

Great. I don't much about the GAA so that's good to hear.

Say Your Number

Was going to post the lads did a good job in the circumstances this week, but the GAA will probably take credit for that too :mad:

Was impressed with how they handled the Rory Best interview refusal. Would have been easy to toe the line and have some handy content.

Did I miss that, what happened there? They decided not to do it because of his court appearance, was it?

He wouldn't allow questions on that topic, so they said no thanks

The Davestator

If the book is anywhere nearly as bad as the radio ad, they were better off staying away from it.

Can't believe that he put that out as an ad. There are 6 year olds on tik tok that would knock out better in 5 minutes.

well done lads

Just came on to say that after a shaky first episode, the David O'Doherty isolation podcast had is my opinion developed into something really worthwhile. His stuff on being chased by a gang of feral hares, and mistaking a squirrel for a rat was just excellent. Top marks lads. I'll continue to happily support this podcast.

boccy23

Enjoyed the pod on the financial crisis. Mark Blyth came across very well without being overly dramatic.

Totally agree with this. When i first heard it i was thinking wow they are really panicking but i actually enjoy it now. In saying that i'm not sure how long it'll work for there's only so much you can say about being on a wild island with hares and sheep etc ha.

It’s David O’Doherty, it was always going to be good.

thenightman

Miguel alert, can't even escape him in times of pandemic unfortunately!

Enjoyed Ken being very sarcastic/catty about Jonathan Wilson's project.

Raoul

Yeah really enjoyed the banter between Ken and Johnathon

Still Ill

Still a few episodes behind, but has been some hilarious moments in DOD's pod.
Was cracking up about his geography and right-wing French oral stories. :pac:

Ol' Donie

Just about to listen to today's pod. Can't wait to hear the big news he teased yesterday about the family jigsaw.

Arghus

Yeah, his tangents can be hillarious.

Sometimes I think, gee, the poor guy sounds really down.

And then I remember. Oh yeah...

Ol' Donie

They say no man is an island.

But some men...are on an island.



Jesus, when I type it it doesn't seem that funny, but I just burst out laughing when he said it.

Guess it really is the way you tell 'em.

I find the lads can be at their best when they are meandering without structure.

Murphs answer to the 'hot hand' question with the example Leo Messi was extremely stupid. It's like he had no understanding of the concept that was just talked about for the past 30min.

Its streak players not the best you idiot

He literally followed up the suggestion with “that’s just talent, I don’t think that’s a hot hand necessarily”.
