Super Rugby Pacific talked a big game this season, promising better, faster rugby and better contests on the field, and even more ambitiously, they promised better social media presence and a significantly better fan engagement. Stan Sport‘s Sean Maloney joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to concede that yes, they might just have ticked all the boxes. The regular season of ups and downs has delivered the finals series combatants we probably picked in pre-season, but didn't think we'd get for most of it, leaving three ripping Qualifying Finals this weekend coming. Also, a Player of the Year and Team of the Year have been crowned, so more boxes ticked. Plus, it's Semi Final weekend in the URC and the Premiership in England, and the final rounds of the Top 14 in France, and Major League Rugby in the States.

Hollywood makes some great movies and TV shows. But they don't always get the details right, especially when it comes to guns. Bad guys fly backwards across the room when they're shot. Guns never seem to run out of ammo. And fingers are on triggers all the time.  Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, sets the record straight to help people handle guns properly, avoid accidents, and stay out of legal trouble.

The US Supreme Court recently ruled that courts, not agencies such as the ATF, should interpret laws. And an Ohio court told Cincinnati they can't make up their own gun laws. Plus, who's in charge of the executive branch which enforces laws. It's clearly not Joe Biden. Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, explains what it all means.

Can you carry a concealed handgun with a threaded barrel? Do you have to obey no-gun signs in public parks? Is it legal to set up a backyard shooting range in Ohio? Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, answers these and many other legal questions asked by supporters of Buckeye Firearms Association.

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Stan Sport commentator, marathon runner, and bad pun extraordinaire Sean Maloney for a mid-season recap on Australian fortunes in Super Rugby Pacific and their runs home over the final six rounds of the competition.   The resurgence of the Australian sides in Super Rugby this season has made for a much more enjoyable rugby product for fans, spectators, and broadcasters alike, and Sean explains what sort of difference this has made to Stan's coverage this season, while also giving some great insight in the behind the scenes working, the narratives behind the games, why it's so important to mention a promising player by their full name, and why the criticisms can sting when rugby commentary, like everyone's opinion on the game, is such a subjective thing.   Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/89combo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@89combopodcast   Brett: https://twitter.com/BMcSport Harry: https://twitter.com/HaribaldiJones   (Yes, Brett and Harry did used to host The Roar Rugby Podcast!)   Find Brett and Harry's written work on RugbyPass and The Roar: Brett: https://www.rugbypass.com/plus/contributor/brett-mckay/ Harry: https://www.theroar.com.au/author/haribaldi/   Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/track/oakvale-of-albion/extreme Voiceovers by Chookman + Amelia Learn more about your ad choices.

Just a couple of elder millennials waxing nostalgic about how things used to be — what could go wrong?? In this episode, I'm joined by friend and music writer Sean Maloney to talk about Boston's amazing and resilient college radio scene.

Marijuana is now legal in Ohio, but can you smoke pot and own guns? Can anyone carry without a permit? Is it legal to have a loaded rifle on your passenger seat? Does every gun sign actually mean no guns? What about protecting property? Or shooting in your backyard? Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, answers these questions and more to help you stay on the right side of the law.

In 2007, military historian Sean Maloney was commissioned to write Canada's account of the war in Afghanistan. Unlike other official histories, this one would be documented as it was being fought. The three-volume The Canadian Army in Afghanistan, was set to be published in 2014, but it didn't see the light of day for nearly a decade due to, according to Maloney, concerns within the military. The book was quietly, and some say reluctantly, released last summer. CBC senior defence reporter Murray Brewster on the long delay, what's actually in the book, and why historical accounts of war can be so divisive.

Gareth Rhys Owen is joined by former Wales internationals Josh Navidi, Nicky Robinson and Philippa Tuttiett - along with (a very sad) Australian commentator Sean Maloney. Sit back and enjoy the chance to re-live a memorable night for Welsh rugby.

Wales vs Australia is getting close but it's the Wallabies who are having the sleepless nights. As both sides name their starting XVs, Gareth Rhys Owen is joined by S4C reporter for the World Cup, Lauren Jenkins, and Australian commentator Sean Maloney. And Maloney is worried.

President Biden is sidestepping Congress with an ATF "universal" background check rule. And New Mexico Gov. Michelle Grisham declared an emergency and banned concealed and open carry in Albuquerque while admitting criminals would not stop carrying guns. Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, discusses the legal fallout of these constitutional infringements.

Local writer Sean Maloney explains how the '70s scene in Boston set the stage for the Modern Lovers, and why Jonathan Richman continues to provide inspiration for some of the biggest acts of all time. He also claims it used to be cheap to live in Cambridge. What a life! In addition, we've got tangents on famous male virgins, coaching trees, and the local-music Mount Rushmore. Send us a Text Message.
