The popular sports talk show set up a temporary set in J. R. Mahons Pub, in front of a rowdy audience as well as a traditional Irish band.

The tone was set from the word go, with live music and river dancers welcoming the show on-air while McAfee and his co-hosts enjoyed a beer.

As the show progressed, the beers and shots piled up, McAfee commented, “It feels like this show is only going to be good if we hammer 100 beers.”

Later, McAfee claimed he and co-host AJ Hawk had consumed edibles while on their flight over.

“When you’re flying international, you cannot land into different countries with edibles or weed,” he said, via the Daily Mail .

“AJ as a friend of mine had bought a bunch of edibles.

“Pilots tell us to make sure there is none of that on the plane because when he lands it is going to get checked.

“AJ you and I both had probably 100mgs on the plane.

“It is similar to my trip to London from Indianapolis when I had 13 edibles.

“Last night was a very similar situation. AJ and I were on about 100mg each.”

McAfee was also joined by GameDay colleague and college football icon Nick Saban during the show.

Saban was watched on by his wife Terry from the side, with McAfee accompanying her onto the set at one point for a dance.

As the show progressed and the alcohol continued to take its toll, the emotions seemed to kick in with McAfee even conjuring up a touching rhyme in a toast to their fans.

“We came to Ireland, to have some fun, we’re chugging beers, we’re already drunk, American football has become a dream, everybody in here is a part of our team,” he said, before downing another beer.

As the show came to an end, McAfee admitted he had “just puked” before going on to admit he was “s**tfaced right now.”

“I don’t know how we were supposed to have a show in Ireland without this happening.”
