John returned from Ireland with stories to tell. From in-flight movies and shark fishing to the Tipperary camogie team and quality pints, the craic was mighty. Gee, there's a shock."

Don't stop believin'!

John's headed to the homeland with his son, but not before a pre-trip show that involved female Vikings, lottery wins, a TV show, excessive rain, Mikel Arteta's personality, Cole Palmer's looks, and the relative merits of experts. All the intellectual food groups, really.

Take me to Church

There was a bit of an Easter theme running through this week's show. Why? Well, Manchester City vs Arsenal was dull. John missed the game because he was at church. He was at church to attend Pastor Jeff Cowmeadow's final sermon. Oh, and it was Easter.

Sisters are doing it for themselves.

The boys were joined in the studio by Andrea Yoch, co-founder and board member of Minnesota Aurora FC. The Aurora's story is a compelling one, and it's doubtful that anyone tells it better than Andrea. This is great stuff.

Nice guys Finnish last

On this week's show we learned what St. Recovery Day is...it was revealed that Totti loves pineapple on pizza...and there's a growing call for John to be an ambassador for Aer Lingus. It's basically only John and Quinno making that call, but still.

Shamrock & roll all nite!

There was a distinct St. Patrick's theme about this week's show, what with the day itself on the horizon, and the imminent arrival of St. Patrick's Athletic FC to take on Minnesota United on Wednesday at Allianz Field. The boys had a chat about both, and were joined by St. Patrick's Athletic's Technical Director, Alan Mathews. Quality craic!

Gabba Gabba Hey!

It's not very often that Barry White, The Ramones, Rugby League, Steve Archibald, and Larry Cunningham's 'Lovely Leitrim' are mentioned in the same show. But they all get a shout out in this one. Proceed at your own risk.

Neighbours. Everybody needs good neighbours. (Appropriate spelling).

Callum Williams was the special guest on this week's show, and he was as entertaining and informative as always. Cosgrove and Quinno did quite well too, in their own Crafty way.

Reelin' in the Ears.

Things to know about this week's show: John played hurt...Quinno can't pronounce Gaelic names...there's a new boss at MN Utd FC...and Air Pardons are the hottest sneakers on the market. It's an understatement to say we live in interesting times.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 65?

In a week full of Super Bowl recaps, Quinno's pension eligibility, and football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrr news, the biggest story of the week by far was Cosgrove's new coffee table. No, seriously.
