Podge and Rodge. New Rivals in Gerald and Ogie, Live on Air?
Sources at the national broadcaster tell us that a potential new primetime show is in the offing. The Nation’s leading station, keen to rehabilitate itself after the disastrous GAA-phobic reaction to the Late Late Show Special last month, and ears stinging from their failure to broascast live coverage of the fireworks and light show from Croker last week have been giving serious consideration to a new series called Gerald and Ogie Pull Together.

Such was the impact made by Gerald McCarthy on the Marion Finucane show at the weekend, followed live on air by Donal Og Cusack’s unscheduled but explosive contribution live from the 2008 Squad’s Headquarters on the same show that the Mandarins in Donnybrook House think they may be on to a winner.

Said our source: “If we can get these two bollixes together in the studio it could be mighty altogether. Podge and Rodge meets the Road to Croker with balls if you like. They way they slag the f**k out of each other at the best of times, sure its great. Imagine if they got a few guests on the time they’d give them. If we could get them to say Camogs are just a bunch of big fat lezzer melders for example. We’ve already contacted Carol Thatcher’s agent to get her on to talk about the role of Golliwogs in the GAA. No-one would want to miss it.”
