Welcome to Episode 60 of the Temple Bar Podcast with Jim Wynne and Philip Noone — and we’re officially in the run up.

🎄 The run up to Christmas.

⚽ The run up to the playoffs.

💸 And the run up to Black Friday chaos.

Fresh back from Budapest, Jim shares the mad scenes from Hungary vs Ireland, the last-minute winner, the concourse mayhem, and why he suddenly became the chillest man in the stadium. Philip tries to price a taxi to Mayo, and we discuss the honour, horror and responsibility of becoming a “delicious” celebrity after meeting Garron Noone himself.

We also dive into:
