Colm Boohig, Enda Coll, Keith Treacy & Matthew Brennan tuck into the Breakfast Buffet, starting with the big question: fry-up or croissant and coffee – and what footballers really ate as nutrition culture changed through the years.

From there it’s a proper grab-bag: Ireland jerseys and the ones fans love most, why modern kits look better without sponsors, and the start of “darts season” – including Luke Littler, dominance, underdogs and why we love to see the big dog toppled.

Plus: favourite sporting sounds, songs that define montage moments, public-transport pet hates, crisp flavours, and a plug for the Bank of Ireland Rugby Road Show in Belfast (with a new guest: Richie Murphy).
