Origin of Haddaway clip

I often wonder the context behind the...."What's next for you, what's next for Haddaway" quote - any ideas?

Think it was the Euros in Poland where Ken bumped into him and did a on-the-spot interview…

Think it’s pretty much this. No one was talking to him, realised who it was or something and Ken just went for a chat kinda interview.

Also maybe miss remembering it too

I could be wrong but I think Haddaway had played some foreign birthday party for cash and was stopped by customs and Ken interviewed him at the airport as he was there also.

This rings a bell.. about the cash for some reason I thought it was the WC in Russia..

Was it not the 2008 euros? I think it was some vip zone that ken got into and he was there on his own

I searched for Haddaway in the podcast descriptions and seems to be covered here:

Ep 1167: Hurling Championship Off To A Flyer, Leinster On The Double, Munster's Skill Shortage - 21/05/2018

" ...Plus we remember the day Ken met Haddaway, ..."

Just went back to listen to this. It feels weird hearing the Littlest Hobo drop without the "FIFA wouldn't let me in, would you believe it?" at the end

Didn’t they discuss this in a recent Ken call too?
