Keane, Twomey, and Kirby in iconic Cork collaboration

Roy Keane, Kevin Twomey, and PJ Kirby have come together for the Cork collaboration that we didn’t know we needed.

The I’m Grand Mam podcast hosts and the football pundit appeared in a new Sky Ireland ad which has racked up hundreds of thousands of views since it was posted.

The advert sees Twomey and Kirby hook Keane up to a lie detector and question him about his streaming habits.

“He does have a bit of a reputation as being a bit cranky,” Twomey says before Keane enters the room.

Popping his head around the door, Keane asks: “Is this where we’re doing the interview?”

Warning the two podcasters to keep the interview professional, Keane begins answering their questions.

When asked if he thinks he’s the most famous person from Cork City, Keane responds ‘no’, but the lie detector proves otherwise.

“Cillian Murphy is going to have a lot to say about this,” Kirby says, with Keane listing out some other notable Corkonians, including Denis Irwin, Sonia O’Sullivan, Graham Norton, and Jimmy Barry Murphy.

For his final question, Keane is asked to choose between taking Twomey’s mother out for dinner, or taking Twomey shopping.

“Last question. In 2005, you did a competition with the Irish Guide Dogs and the winner was to be invited to a private dinner with yourself. My mam spent €100 on raffle tickets and I didn’t get a birthday present that year as a result. Would you rather take my mam out for a private dinner or take me shopping for a birthday present?” Twomey asks.

Keane says he’d rather bring his mother for dinner in Kinsale.

The iconic collab between the three has received a huge reaction online, but will they organise a second sit-down? When asked if he would come on the I’m Grand Mam podcast as a guest, Keane responds: “Probably not,” which the lie detector shows to be the truth.
