We tipped down to the Talbot Hotel in Carlow for what initially was meant to be a brief chat over a coffee with Leo McGough in the fantastic new An Bhearú Bar & Bistro.
It turned out to be a podcast for the ages.
We of course did get to the Carlow Hurling Semi Final's eventually, but what transpired both before and after was just pure magic.
Leo is an artist who paints pictures with words like no other.
Leo eloquently describes getting what it was like witness Clare win an All Ireland with his brother Michael, who was once in a position where he couldn't attend games due to a medical condition.
All Ireland Final day is passionately labelled as a day for everyone.
There is so much good stuff in here that's it's simply unmissable.
Enjoy it and maybe have some pocket size tissues at the ready also.
Powerful stuff.

With a meeting set for Tuesday night, it is becoming likely that the Carlow Senior Hurling Championship will only have 5 teams this year.
Will Naomh Brid's first team have no Hurling? Will they be let go back Intermediate?
What is the collateral damage?

This week saw Ireland achieve massive 400m and 1500m success taking home gold and silver from the European Championships.
400m in particular hasn't been something that Ireland have been traditionally known for in terms of success.
So how was this tradition created in such a relatively short timeframe?
And how can it be applied to GAA in Carlow to net the same results?
Incoming Knockbeg College Principal John Maye is perfectly placed to give us the insight and voice that we need on this with his love for all things sport, but particularly athletics.
John was also involved with Carlow inter county squads in the past with mindset a particular focus point and he has some real nuggets in this one.
We speak about all this, the vision for Knockbeg and much more over what is a very enjoyable hour.
