The sorrowful mysteries, sheepskin jackets, Father Ted, arguing with a chat bot, football, Gaelic football, Australian football, rugby, skydiving, USWNT icons, and nerds on stage. But wait, there's more!

John was on the road this week, but the tyranny of distance didn't stop the boys delivering a belter of a show, albeit from separate locations. Ain't technology grand!

There was a point where this week's show jumped from the VMAs, to see-through dresses, to pregnancy tests and contraception, to the Rugby World Cup. The thing is, it all seemed quite logical. You really should listen.

The boys did a quick preview of the Rugby World Cup this week, and got some assistance from an actual Rugby World Cup winner! But rest assured, there was plenty of football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrr and general craic as well!

To explain this week's show, let's just use a direct quote from Cosgrove. 'Margaret Thatcher, hunger strikers, the Spanish FA...you get them all on the Crafty Rogues.' And there you have it.

Special bonus episode where Cosgrove chats to Irish comedy and acting star, Ardal O'Hanlon. Lots of people will know him as Fr Dougal Maguire from the cult comedy series, Father Ted. He has also appeared in numerous other shows and documentaries, including more recently, Derry Girls! These two border county men had a long an winding chat about growing up on either side of the border between Co. Monagan and Co. Fermanagh. Definitely more of a chat than your usual interview dynamic. Enjoy and you ...

The Crafty Rogues can never be accused of staying in their lane. This week's show covers everything from Pickleball to border patrols to facial injuries to Rudy Giuliani. Dare we say it, it's laneless.

Ingerland were too good for 'Straya in the Women's World Cup semi. But the game was played after the show, so it didn't really happen, right? Right?? Other than that, this was a tasty episode. Very tasty indeed

Carl Craig was in the house to join the boys for their traditional Premier League preview, and he didn't disappoint. If you're a football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrr fan, this one's for you. It helps if you understand Geordie.

Leo Messi, Carli Lloyd, Tom Brady, Kylian Mbappé, David Clifford, Buddy Franklin. All the big names are featured this week. Oh, Cosgrove and Quinno make an appearance, too.
Aug 04, 2023•52 min
Sinéad O'Connor, the 'Barbie' movie, Steve Jobs' sandals, Limerick's win, and Cosgrove's jacket. They're all in the one show. Seriously.

Cosgrove is back from Europe and the boys hit the ground running with a show full of tales from the road...an AI program with a world class name...football galore...and the pointy end of the GAA season. Oh, and Ron DeSantis. Sorry.

If you've ever wondered what the life of a football commentator is like, you're in luck. Callum Williams sat down with the boys to discuss his accent, Birmingham, Brooklyn, fatherhood, Leo Messi, Martin Tyler, and more. This is quality craic.

Cosgrove is Barcelona bound, but not before boys shared their thoughts on Wimbledon, Tyrone's meek effort, the Supreme Court, paella, Steven Gerrard's business decision, and the spirit of the game. Tasty stuff.

In this week's show the boys take on media corruption, loneliness, elitism, Affirmative Action, and Jesse Lingard's future. 'Why?' you ask. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. You be the judge. (It is also exactly seven (7) years since we started this podcast. You would think we would get the hang of it by now).

Liam Brady's retiring. Martin Tyler is leaving Sky Sports. And Taylor Swift is coming to town. Someone should do a podcast about these things. Done!
Jun 22, 2023•46 min
Messi to Miami. Pukki to Minnesota? And Trump, Johnson, & Sturgeon to who knows where! It was that kind of week and that kind of show. John's parents were in town, too! Just sayin'.
Jun 14, 2023•40 min
With Carl Craig as an in-studio guest, this was always destined to be an interesting show. It didn't disappoint. Neither did Carl. He never does.
Jun 07, 2023•56 min
From ostentatious displays of wealth to the popularity of the Premier League in Asia, this a particularly wide-ranging episode. Great craic, too!
May 31, 2023•55 min
As John recovered from a medical procedure, the boys discussed friendship, politics, tractors, comedy, and the DeSantis presidential campaign launch. Actually, that was the comedy.
May 26, 2023•49 min
JC went to DC. SQ went to Crowded House. And if you're in despair, America, read or listen to Jon Stewart!
May 18, 2023•46 min
Sport, culture, craic, and a philosophical look at the realities of owning a 2002 Toyota Camry. Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a proper podcast!
May 09, 2023•47 min
This week, the boys tackle big issues like the monarchy, Jurgen Klopp's hamstring, and can you teach someone to be funny? There's a joke in there somewhere. Or is there?
May 02, 2023•48 min
John's back from England. Quinno's not getting tortured. Man City are Thriller. Arsenal are Pyromania. If you need to know more, listen to this week's show.

Chicago, Sioux Center, Leeds, Sydney. These Crafty Rogues get around a bit, and there's craic at every stop on the journey!
Apr 18, 2023•44 min
Passports, musicals, sporting upsets, boot polish, art, and Irish global soft power. Standard Crafty Rogues fare, really.
Apr 13, 2023•43 min
John drove a Tesla in Canada. Quinno had a good old sulk. And Frank Lampard is headed back to Chelsea. Wait! What??
Apr 06, 2023•43 min
Cosgrove's off to Canada for a few days. Before he left, here's what we learned. Toronto is south of the Twin Cities. Tottenham don't like trophies. And Aston Villa love black haired managers. That's the kind of insight that sets this podcast apart
Mar 29, 2023•55 min
Food, music, politics, lists, happiness, mayhem, sport, craic, a bit more sport, and a lot more craic. Surely, that's enough for one show. Have at it.

Cosgrove came back from Hawaii a couple of hours before this show, and he was in sparkling form. It's the week of St. Patrick's Day, after all. Do NOT call it St. Patty's Day. Just don't.
