Hosted by two Carlow (Carla) lads, Podge & Popa, it’s where dodgy opinions meet brilliant guests. Expect banter, bold takes, and plenty of chat about the “beautiful game” (and the not-so-beautiful moments too).

Hypothetical Questions
Meet The Lads
Two lads from Carlow talking sport, stories & chaos.
Podge
The self-proclaimed Pep Guardiola of the local scene. How he didn’t make it to the top of soccer management is anyone’s guess—maybe the world just wasn’t ready for his “revolutionary” 2-1-7 formation. He’s got an opinion on everything football, from VAR to why goalkeepers shouldn’t wear gloves. Is he ever wrong? Constantly. Will that stop him from giving a post-match analysis? Never.
Popa
Popa: The man, the myth, the unexpected tactical genius... in his own head. Known for shouting instructions at the TV like the players can actually hear him. His football wisdom? Questionable. His passion? Unmatched. If overthinking and bad calls were a sport, Popa would have a Ballon d'Or by now.
