This is not two tents and a barbecue!

Irish Fair of Minnesota is upon us, and so is the latest Crafty Rogues offering. It's tasty stuff, too! You know, if you like sport, music, culture, and craic. And, let's be honest, who doesn't?

Now now Johnny, let's not be doing that!

A Geordie, an Irishman and an Australian walk into a basement recording studio. This isn't a joke, it's the Premier League season preview with Carl Craig. Have at it.

The prawn sandwich brigade have won.

Singing lessons, dog owners, ticket prices, fireworks, kissing the badge, "Neighbours", U2, the Kingdom of Kerry, and unsponsored jerseys. All this (and more) for your listening pleasure.

It upset a lot of conservatives, which is always a good thing.

Prince, the Pope, 'Dead or Alive', 'Talking Heads', transgender athletes, Bill Murray, Adrian Heath, Eddie Charlton, the Crusades, and a chat with special guest Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling Club coach, Pete Farrell. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a show.

Mum, Dad...I'm Gaelic!

There are those who say sport and politics don't mix. Those people might want to avoid this episode. Let's just say the boys took a few swings, and they didn't miss.

This is what podcasting is all about.

As usual, the boys partook of some serious craic. But the best part was chatting with Jacquie Berglund, CEO of Finnegans. It's a great story and she tells it brilliantly.

We're all just trying to do the best we can.

There was a bit of a serious undertone to this week's show. That's what the reality of daily life in America can do to the mood. But there was still plenty of space for sport, culture, and craic. Lot's and lots of craic!

Ten Hag will need to be Eleven Hag!

As a spectacle, it was a glorious mess...it's the immovable object against the removable force...and Elon Musk is a seriously odd duck. That's a show, right there!

It's Spring Break, but it's snowing!

Despite the incredible amount of sport to talk about this week, the boys still found time to chat about 'Johnny Hates Jazz, 'The Pillow Queens' and Peter Allen. The word 'eclectic' springs to mind. 'Tasty', as well.

The best part is, no one's holding me accountable.

Sometimes the best ability is availability. Kenneth Branagh embraces his Irishness. And Troy Parrott is a fantastic name for a footballer. Do with that information what you will...then listen to the show.

I'm assuming the IRS isn't listening to this.

Why do Americans love St. Patrick's Day and Irish culture so much? The Rogues ask a real live American! They also talk football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrrr, Rugby, AFL, GAA, and little bit of politics. Good craic.

We're making it up as we go along.

With Quinno still away, Cosgrove hosted not one but two English boys, West Ham Chris and Danny from Stockton. They discussed moving to Minnesota and how they manage to keep supporting their team from far, far away.

A Busted Flush!

With Quinno once again in a monsoon, Carl Craig stepped up and joined in with quality analysis and some dialysis of the weekends games and world events. Canny.

It was Foggy on the Tyne

It was a rare night that there was no Quinno. Not to fear, Sir Carl Craig esquire, stepped into the breach and filled his boots. Top analysis from our Geordie mate who knows people, knows formations and isn't afraid to use them. (Not available with subtitles).

Can you hear me roll my eyes?

What do Jordan Henderson, Ricky Gervais, and a foul-mouthed wedding planner have in common? Not a lot, really, but they all get a mention on this week's show. Tasty.

It feels good. It looks good. Will it be good?

The USMNT played their coldest World Cup qualifier ever, and it was in the Crafty Rogues' backyard! Were the boys at the game? Don't be silly. They were toasty warm in the Ash Barty Studio. Crafty.

I was a manager's nightmare

If you like a bit of Ted Nugent to go along with your Neil Young, and a spot of Mario Balotelli alongside a dash of Roy Hodgson, this is the show for you. If not, what on earth's wrong with you?

Jan 28, 202238 min

We did it old school style.

John's off to Miami next week. Quinno's off to 'Straya next month. And Wayne Rooney might be off to Everton any day now. He should probably talk to Frank Lampard first.
