Summary
This week on the KOKO Show we are joined live in the studio by our favourite ‘KOKO Confidant’ and Ireland Rugby’s answer for the weird uncle at a family BBQ, it is the one and only Mr Mack Daddy Hansen. With Mack in the studio and wearing pants for the first time the lads get down to business talking about his current injury, the Irish Six Nations campaign, what he is doing back in Aus and his budding relationship with Andy Farrell. This episode is wall to wall laughs as Mack and the boys go for long walks down memory lane, shoot the shit about cracking career moments and then they finish with a little swiping session in a game we like to call ‘Teammate Tinder’. Plus, we knock the froth off a couple of cold ones and give you a full wrap of the Superb Rugby, giving Slips his flowers for conquering game 203 and most importantly we go deep on all the action from across the weekend in the Pacific. Lastly but certainly not the ‘leastly’, Swoop comes in real hot from a forage around his Temu Cupboard with a few items that will leave you hairless and shocked to your core. So sit back, relax and let the majestic nature of Mack Hansen fill your every nook and cranny, this fella is one of a kind and he stars in the all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
