WE ARE BACK! Beyond The 65 returns for a brand new season.

In our Season 2 Premiere, Luke is back in the studio with Tipperary legend Bubbles O'Dwyer and Wexford star Conor McDonald. After a historic 2025, the lads have plenty to catch up on, from the dizzying highs of inter-county glory to the raw reality of the club trenches.

We take a look back at Tipperary’s massive All-Ireland Hurling Final win over Cork—an iconic day for the Premier County—and discuss how life changes the moment you step off the Hogan Stand and back onto the local club pitch.

In this episode, the lads discuss the return to the studio after their own club championship runs and the fallout of the Tipp vs. Cork final. We also dive into the unique psychological battle of watching your county teammates find success with their clubs while yours falls short. We explore why some of the most dominant club teams in Ireland come from counties with little recent inter-county success and set the bar for Darragh McCarthy’s expectations heading into the 2026 season.

It's the biggest week in the hurling calendar as two titans, Cork and Tipperary, prepare to collide in a historic All-Ireland Final.

In this special episode of Beyond The 65, Luke Delaney is joined by Tipperary legend and 2019 All-Ireland winner John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer and Wexford sharpshooter Conor McDonald for the ultimate final preview.

The lads offer a unique player's perspective on the build-up to the biggest day. Bubbles reflects on his pivotal role in Tipperary's 2019 victory over Kilkenny, discussing the player mindset, pre-match rituals, and how to handle the immense pressure of Croke Park on All-Ireland Sunday. Conor McDonald provides a raw, honest take on the feeling of watching on, and the professional jealousy that comes with never having experienced a senior final.

Plus, the panel reveals their official End of Season Awards and sparks a massive debate by selecting their ultimate combined XV from the 2025 Cork and Tipperary squads.

Who will lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup? Can Cork end their 20-year wait, or will Tipperary's tradition prevail? Get the most in-depth look right here!

First, we dive into the mailbag. You sent us your burning questions, and the lads hold nothing back with their honest and unfiltered answers. Then, it's time to settle a debate. After weeks of hearing about Conor's hurling knowledge, we're putting him and Bubbles to the ultimate test in the inaugural 'Beyond The 65 Quiz'.

Can Conor back up the talk, or will Bubbles claim the crown? With questions spanning from Hurler of the Year awards to deep cuts in Irish and Premier League football, this is a finale you won't want to miss.
