After 3 World Championship medals, 2 of them silver, 3 European Golds, not to mention gold medals in the World Juniors and World Youths, he joins us to talk about staying amateur, dealing with the captaincy of the Irish team, and not getting the coverage that his medal haul deserves.

We wish US Murph a happy Christmas, but despair for his basketball coaching abilities, and we also hear about P Diddy’s NFL ownership ambitions, Murph’s Mam and her ability to watch Man City all day, and we all go Garropo-loco.
