Hello, everybody, and welcome to the show that's powered by a cast and I just want to say something in terms of the name of the show, of course.

[00:00:30]

Oh, hang on. Have a good one.

[00:00:32]

Every time you just throw it in, go. Oh, by the way, what about this?

[00:00:37]

Bosnia-Herzegovina to Azerbaijan, one guilty Manock or Ben Fecal Benfica.

[00:00:45]

Listen up as any any.

[00:00:47]

I think I've been quite dominant in the last couple of weeks. Dominant? Well, regarding the names of the show, I did see one. I can't think of it.

[00:00:56]

Great. That's good. I have I have one. You ready for this one? I think this is a good word this week, right? Bayer Leverkusen.

[00:01:04]

What we do but the other day. Don't know Cousineau say that line.

[00:01:10]

Oh because we had by our labor cookstown no higher level.

[00:01:16]

Couzens go to that. We have an affinity Rickerson. I need a law. I'm pulling the boy in the course of a long trip behind a Telemann and that was the name of the harbor in Atlantic City, Ohlemeyer no doubt mnemba to publicize DEHA on Telemann over the harbour.

[00:01:33]

And just sometimes we have to try and get monks land into a into a show on record.

[00:01:41]

We spent all our time Monklands in Cologne or a and so sometimes ads get put on this show and I'm sure you've heard them because the distribution is just a we wouldn't be in control of the ads, you know, and because this podcast, podcast's broadcast podcast is broadcast in England, sometimes we get English ads.

[00:02:02]

And just in the terms of balance, it's important to say that maybe four or five weeks ago on BONOS Will No stores an ad if you want to join the British army.

[00:02:12]

Oh, so just in the interest of balance, I just think we should say if you're interested in join the IRA, I would I don't even RDA, but I don't even know what quality area doing.

[00:02:26]

No lying in bed and lying in bed in the morning there might be still looking out the window, not looking, not much to do I think to find a landscape gardener watching a return.

[00:02:36]

McCadden do an ad for the IRA.

[00:02:38]

They're watching Dr. Phil too much at eleven o'clock in the morning, not in the hall for during the day that I would Balaklava just dust pulling the quilt up round your head too often.

[00:02:48]

Join the IRA, be everything that you can be and blow up shit. Could you imagine you could see them coming like science class.

[00:02:58]

Oh so it's your Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen.

[00:03:01]

I like them and I'll get into that in a minute.

[00:03:04]

We have some pause now. People are just sending us shit. You didn't say last week.

[00:03:09]

Don't send us anything now. Now we're getting no more.

[00:03:13]

Tommy, you know that last week when he said people are just sending the random this address, Hector Larita, Tommy Tiernan, gluten free, has three old friends in a shed at the bottom of the garden on the road to Speedle Galway City.

[00:03:25]

Oh, no. Now, I said to forensics, who's going to open that?

[00:03:31]

I'm not what you it yesterday.

[00:03:35]

Yesterday we're recording this podcast on the Monday. Yesterday was the nicest day of sunshine. The last day of February was the nicest day of sunshine. And I believe I had sort of a perfect day, a perfect day.

[00:03:49]

So that's perfect. I got up.

[00:03:52]

I got open them to spend it with you. Oh, yeah.

[00:03:57]

Perfect day. I keep you here.

[00:04:01]

We. Oh, yeah, just keep me. That's Mike Denver recovering from surgery purp, tonsillitis.

[00:04:13]

US such a perfect. I got up yesterday morning. What time?

[00:04:16]

That's about half nine. And still sleeping in the hip.

[00:04:20]

Yes, I am. I'm sleeping like a baby Miryam on my face because I sleep like a baby and I got to go up at half, nine and a half, nine new pair of jocks on and down. I went downstairs, T-shirt, pair of jeans, no socks on because I'm feeling the earth and feeling they're all right.

[00:04:38]

Kind of clear Galway's surfer vibe. Jesus, I go downstairs I a lovely but a brown bread and a cup of tea.

[00:04:45]

And then I went for a run and the sun was beautiful. I came back to the house and the boys pottered off to play some Astroturf football. I allowed them and then the missus said she's going for a walk. And I said, I'll do the dinner. So I got a lovely little bit of roast stuffed pork. And I did roast potatoes and we had peas, carrot and parsnips and we had applesauce. My Unitab were playing Chelsea. That was a bit of a cap, but I had every every window in the house open.

[00:05:13]

Then I said to the missus, she said, I better go down and get the paper. She said, Do you want anything? And I said, Will you get us a selection of classic ice pops? And I said, She said, what?

[00:05:23]

Well, let's go. Well, I said, legendary, legendary.

[00:05:28]

I said she'd like to have opinion for now sometime.

[00:05:31]

That's the type of thing that drives a lot of folk on death row and your last meal. And get me a selection, a classic, I, I love it.

[00:05:39]

I'm sorry, sir. You heard me, motherfucker. I want to Chuck. I salute the look. I want to focus on Magnum.

[00:05:47]

She was going out the door and I said, you got I said, what else do we need?

[00:05:50]

I deep down as we get them, if you big as I said, get me a selection of classic ice pops. I see, said Curly. And I said, get me a brunch. Yeah, yeah. Oh yes, yes, yes. Get me a chuck. I get a couple of tornadoes and wibbly wobbly one day.

[00:06:05]

I know I can go the way the excuse me in America, the Haidian across but I can just go and see you there. Walk and dare to go to get killed for a crime that you didn't commit.

[00:06:18]

Don't you kill you because you're black and you're going to fuck you cause you're a fucking carnet. One morning I said, I mean, it's not going to eat me. Brought you to the victims families. Yes. It wasn't me that you me brunch. Nobody lunch. So there you go. I'm still here to run some errands for me. And next never went one. Not so. It was a perfect day.

[00:06:53]

And then. And then we had the dinner. Everyone loved the dinner. The boys went in and went on Xbox. We had, we had, we had Netflix to ourselves. And then last night at about quarter past nine, the fire was on and I showed it to the young lad.

[00:07:08]

I said, Jay, what went there to the kitchen to get a front for your dad? You comes in and he fires a branch into me and he's eating the chalk. And he went, Who got these? I said, Mom got a selection of classic eyes, Bob. He says, he's looking lovely. He said, I said, I know it is. So I got down. I got off the couch. This was the end of my perfect day.

[00:07:30]

I got off the couch. I sat on the carpet in front of the fire. I knocked me back into me. Mrs I had a brunch watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

[00:07:39]

Yamamoto's. I don't want twenty five thousand euro. And the missus started scratching the inside of me shoulder and I said This is the perfect fucking day.

[00:07:54]

Oh. Who was the first famous person that you ever saw in the flesh.

[00:08:02]

Can you recall who was.

[00:08:03]

I remember growing up Migliardi said to me that she saw hit the foyer of a hotel in Newbridge as she went over to say hello. What he told her to fuck off.

[00:08:15]

So first famous person that I ever saw in the flesh, I think now I was kind of wreck and back through my mind, like it used to be in Galway in the late 1980s. The stunning were famous.

[00:08:33]

And I remember standing beside your wall. In essence, Joe Wall used to play the bass with the stone.

[00:08:37]

I remember standing beside looked at him. Oh, yeah, he he's always too tall.

[00:08:43]

His never age can leatherjacket folk.

[00:08:48]

Oh, I don't know. I think I think the first from a famous person that I ever saw was Mike Scott from the washup I saw.

[00:08:57]

And I'm not going to a gig now. I lived out on Inish Moore for a little while. Yes, and you were brought up then it was you do not meet anyone famous or see anyone? No, we don't know. Patrick Governor's brother Peter Cavenagh came to town to talk about high school, but he wasn't famous.

[00:09:15]

So we got into trouble. That would go on to law school.

[00:09:21]

OK, so this is a big deal now because Cavenagh was a big deal for school.

[00:09:25]

So Patricof brother was going round given talks about about his brother and what we had a fella in our school surname was Cantwell, and his nickname was Cancer.

[00:09:37]

That was his name, cancer. And you always go against the grain. That's.

[00:09:49]

Why I was going to buy, so we were just counting.

[00:09:53]

We do we didn't associate with the disease.

[00:09:55]

We just had an account with Alan Cantwell, what we call them control. All right. Cuts are going to go to AIDS and first.

[00:10:07]

But anyway, so cancer was then a cancer.

[00:10:12]

So when we heard you tell me a thought, I can't remember what year it was.

[00:10:15]

But Peter Kavanagh's Peter Cavenagh. Patrick happens with a big fucking deal like the poet's best friend and stuff like that.

[00:10:23]

But fuck me, he wasn't a man to give a dynamic speech presentation.

[00:10:29]

Yeah, we were all called in to a big it's it was in the science room with the tiered seating. Yeah. It was a big deal for 20 science room and it wasn't for science. It was like a lecture lecture by Patrick Gaffner anyway.

[00:10:39]

And he went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. We lost interest after the first few months. On and on and on and on and on and on. We were bored and then we started getting ready.

[00:10:57]

And then the teacher said, would anybody like to I want you to take a look at that.

[00:11:07]

What did your brother die of? Cancer. And we all.

[00:11:20]

You know, they were the best day work day to day life and, you know, the end of the question, but I thought he was the only person I can recall from my childhood that might have been famous.

[00:11:45]

But Mike Scott then was the first person that I remember. So they came to Inish more to do a gig. And so we all kind of went down to the pier when the boat was coming in. And I was standing maybe a snooker tables length away from him.

[00:11:56]

But I remember remember, just go fuck me, because, you know, when you see somebody famous and it's almost like they have a big, big, huge face and it's shrunk down to this human size when you see them. Yeah.

[00:12:11]

How can how can so big a face be so small and human can staring at him, going and thinking himself. It must be the coolest thing in the world to be Mike Scott from the other place. So he was the first person I ever saw. Can you think of anybody?

[00:12:30]

No, I don't know. I suppose because we played football then it would have been like I remember your man came the Offaly football or, you know, what's his name?

[00:12:38]

Dabi Chamsai district.

[00:12:41]

Yeah, he came to Arkansas for a dinner.

[00:12:43]

And you went missing from the speeches was going on. And everyone's like, where is gone?

[00:12:50]

Shame, shame, shame, shame. I got bored. I read that to be a good documentary. Now for the podcast The Where's George Gibney? One was very popular.

[00:13:00]

So we go where she Darby I read this book is bookless a phenomenally honest and he would have a little shot of brandy before a match. So he had a shot of brandy before a match.

[00:13:12]

I can imagine they couldn't afford the dinner.

[00:13:15]

But you see it wasn't a push, it was a little nudge in the hips. And if you look at it, it wasn't a boy. It was always made out to be a push, but it was a lovely little nudge. And you see it all the time.

[00:13:24]

Yeah, it was a nöjd that changed an empire. I don't know who I saw.

[00:13:28]

I saw I don't know, obviously going to a game. My first ever gig was seen Big Country in 1983. In the audience, we all went up in the box. I saw the look up and see Stuart Adamson and the boys, but I did. I tell you the truth, Alice came to the house once.

[00:13:42]

No, TR Dallas came to our show bus to Dallas, drove into our we were playing football at the time at the at the at the palm trees. My family would have a connection. My mom used to work in long in China.

[00:13:55]

I know Gary the son. Well there you go. He lives. You see your son. Yeah.

[00:13:59]

My dad would always stop in and Brandon Chines before Gary Dallas got it. But the really the player who walked in the gallery, fucking Dallas Cowboy goes on his balls.

[00:14:24]

I say, get the balls, Gary fucking Dallas. Yeah, without a doubt. Gary, there's plenty to go around. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:14:33]

I feel like we're on our team.

[00:14:35]

You said that when he was coming, you know, he shout out his own name. As you know, he's from Newcastle. We didn't do from the telegraph phone anyway.

[00:14:51]

We were out with the size five at that point of palm trees that we used as gold and we were kicking ball. And then all of a sudden this Mercedes pulled into the driveway.

[00:15:00]

Oh, well, it wasn't the driveway. It was like just in the game. We didn't have a driveway.

[00:15:06]

We just we the cement wall with this rack of the old pocket and type of five barangays, I you know, the you know, the ones you got that old.

[00:15:17]

And we just have to paint it every year.

[00:15:18]

And then and there was a sort of a middle of where the Castroville and a TR Dallas gets out of the car. Well when the door opened I could see astatine in the back at the back, you know, where your man from Forkan Churchill, they had insurance or the dog. Yeah. Yeah, there was a fucking Stetson there. I love their voice. Hey, I look at this.

[00:15:38]

Well, the door opened and the foot came out and it was a cowboy boots.

[00:15:44]

Stupid. I need the suit on.

[00:15:46]

Did you think the gig was in your house or something? He got out of the car and he was fucking huge, huge man.

[00:15:52]

Well, Boris, I like ice. And then all of a sudden Mickey came and my mom came out and it was hugs and everything. And TR Dallas came into my house for a cup of tea and he put on the Stetson as he walked to the house. And I was just gone because I don't even know.

[00:16:08]

That's when Larry Hagman was J.R.. You were only I was only seven or eight and I'm going, oh, OK.

[00:16:13]

Is this that's magnificent. Look at this. Stetson on Yemen. And then he pulled across the sliding door of the. Because we always had a front door, but then we decided in Ireland, we better I'll put in another door outside the front door to keep the heat in the house. It was a sliding door and sliding door.

[00:16:30]

Now you have to put a lot of people over patios at the back of the house. Yes, but not to kill. No.

[00:16:35]

We have the front door, but we're never going to put this thing called double glazing at the front of the fucking front door of an area in there. It's a solidified pocket and it'll keep the house warm.

[00:16:45]

And you could put the plants in there at all. And there was always a little latch to go up or allowed to go. Yes. Yes.

[00:16:51]

And he went in and he looked round to me and he just winked at me and the Stetson on and a white cream suit. And he just pulled the patio door behind them and we went, how fucking cool is that?

[00:17:01]

Now, did you know who he was when he was I knew was I knew because my dad always used to stop in and Brendan Shine's and Alan. Oh, yeah. Tell me what brand and all that sort of stuff.

[00:17:12]

And the Atlan malt with my godmother, all our godmother and godfather were from just that segment in Tampa.

[00:17:19]

We'd always affinity with Morfe and that area there, McLachlan's and the old shebeen and all the pubs, we and the yard and the grandcourt.

[00:17:27]

That's why you were so drawn to mausoleums. Yes, yes. And yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[00:17:34]

So we have an affinity round there and then I'm to with them. I don't remember, but I just thought that's probably tr Dallas. It was fucking huge back then.

[00:17:43]

But I, I don't remember seeing Ive's here as you get older. I got older. You meet other people.

[00:17:50]

But imagine that pulling in in a Mercedes carroty our house and what it must have been on his way to.

[00:17:55]

He was on his way to a gig. That's right. That's where he had the costume. He was on his way to get to Dallas.

[00:18:03]

Is there anything that you love doing that you can't do what you want to do it anyway, if that makes sense, yes.

[00:18:10]

Oh, there's loads of things because I like. And do you do it like there's loads of things that I know that even now I think I know a lot of stuff, but I know fuck all regarding certain things. The things that I miss most that I can't do and I'm not able to do is stuff like mixing cement or building a wall. Yeah, but you can do that.

[00:18:31]

No, I'm not able to do it. I go. You're not. I don't I don't know how to do it. And I often say, fucking hell, isn't that brilliant. Or a guy comes out and he goes, what have you got there? And put down to one plate for the sewerage, for the pipes off the patio. Yeah. You need to have the laser on that. We need to cut down this. You need to get that cut there.

[00:18:45]

Some do that this and I have a fall. I love learning little things like that.

[00:18:49]

Practical, practical.

[00:18:51]

So would you like to be able to fix my lawn mower, for example, instead of fucking bringing it into the guy every year to get a service? I'd love to be able to open up the engine, take out the oil filter, do this, do that and do this and then go home.

[00:19:04]

I just love to be able to fix stuff. I Clive, I've spoken about Clive and this legend. He fucking can fix and do everything. It's a fucking just an honor to be in his presence because the washer has gone on that. Oh yeah. Well we'll just split that open. We'll put it.

[00:19:19]

Yeah. I love it. Oh man. Oh yeah. What's wrong there. Oh just hanging this.

[00:19:23]

It's broken that they can hang picture frames.

[00:19:26]

They just, just, I can do all that but there's loads of stuff. Would you not like to learn how to do that. Well I the world. Now tell me, would you like to learn how to love a like a Connemara, you know like a block of orange breeze.

[00:19:40]

But fuck that.

[00:19:41]

Well why would you build a normal wall Economia. People have. Because that's just normal. You just that's not normal. You put stones on top of stone.

[00:19:49]

Oh yes. Open my little stones big stone sideways. Otherwise it's a craft.

[00:19:54]

It's a tradition. I know there's great ways of balls and gold in the west of our land, Connemara, but what I'm saying is when a lot of lads come in with a mixer and I get a couple of bales of blocks and then they just go, I just I just think stuff like that would be a wet.

[00:20:10]

Aye, well it was just give me the ammunition that I would you the practical stuff that you do not because you are a practical man. And it was very heartening to hear you say you take er the sun didn't bother to you like I, I dream of, of having that kind of confidence in the dinner, but it doesn't.

[00:20:26]

Yeah. But would you pass your knowledge onto your bodies then. Well I see them now looking out the window at me. I brought out there for a bit of manual labor recently and it was freezing cold and we were taking their dirty rotten nails out the back a decade before we split.

[00:20:42]

And how did you persuade them what you said to see? I get that. See the back of that? See the back? No.

[00:20:46]

How did you get the house off the Xbox? I just turn off the fucking Wi-Fi. And I said, no, I need you out here. Come on. Come on, everyone.

[00:20:52]

I've got a play. I'm just a person. All the same people in the Champions League.

[00:20:56]

Well, do you see them once they get into Jordan during the evening time? So I'd say I said, I need you. I need you outside here. I need you outside. So. Oh, God, seriously, what a simple thing of getting the hammer.

[00:21:06]

I says, right, you see the hammer there. You see the party. She to see the back of the hammer. Yeah. Push that in there, bend it. And you see the way the screw pops. Yeah.

[00:21:14]

And he plays off into his 80s so he was out that for about eight hours. What. Got a bit bored after a while, it's just those little things I just think I love being outside getting some musical work yesterday. So if I can say the engine, the character in start this morning, pop the hood there.

[00:21:33]

I'll have a look at it like, would you love to be.

[00:21:34]

I'd love to be able to pop the hood and go, yeah, the carburetor is a bit blocked. There would take the time and belt is gone like a human belt.

[00:21:41]

Would you love those that you're driving along and there are no software broken down to Narino Khelil and it's just standing there with the hand of the hip, the heart.

[00:21:51]

She's trying to find the boyfriend, but there's no coverage. Would you love just a fuckin swingin and go Tartuffe, you know?

[00:21:57]

And she'd go, How are you? I say, I love it. I never look at Afia. Oh yes, I'll fix the spark plugs.

[00:22:03]

Oh and then but I just snapped back naanu to what was a fan belt. No womanisers.

[00:22:12]

Not in the mood in the 50s any time in Balthasar.

[00:22:15]

Gangster films I felt has been on the run to Mexico with some humor and Shigeko have a breakdown and she fucking whipped the clerk's office to stop somebody and tell you that she drove Nickelson into Mexico.

[00:22:27]

Victrolas was like I love to be able to.

[00:22:31]

Yeah, I drive people like that past people like that the whole time. All the time. And it's rolling down the window. I'd be no use to drive on. You would stop and have them retire even when it's like having all the tools that I should do.

[00:22:42]

I thought I really feel that I can learn a lot now, but I really am in awe of people who can fix stuff and who have that amazing ability to do stuff and build it and construct it and fix it. And they know how to use it.

[00:22:56]

That's why we have. So that's something that's you know, that's not something that I feel loved. But yeah, I'd love to get more practical.

[00:23:03]

Do you do anything like for instance, like for me, I love karaoke, but I can't I can't sing, but I have to do karaoke no matter where I go in the world. I have to do karaoke. In fact, I've nearly got thrown out of places because of my karaoke obsession.

[00:23:21]

So like, for instance, me and Audrey would be gone on holidays. And I we were in New York two years ago and we're going from a party to a nightclub. But on the way, I saw a big sign down Fifth Avenue for karaoke here tonight.

[00:23:37]

So then we went and it was jam packed and it was hot.

[00:23:41]

And it was when everything was going mad, there was people singing. And next thing I went in and you know how you fill out pieces of paper. And I was like, what? I was like Madonna like a virgin. I love singing that song. So I always think in your head you don't have to sing that song to do karaoke. Just so I write down, I said to you, woman, look, will we be is there a la is there a big Q?

[00:24:03]

And she was like, yeah, darling, there's there's lots of people here ahead of you. You got to wait.

[00:24:08]

ISIS taught how great a job for daily crime. I said to her, how long will I be he or she was like ages, ages and you know, she's not interested. I yeah. I said, if I pay you a hundred dollars, will you let me sing.

[00:24:23]

No. Will you put me through.

[00:24:24]

And she was like, Jesus, you got. And I said, oh brilliant. Brilliant. Right. So me, Audrey, this lad that owns bars in New York, David and Samantha, we were all with what is on course later.

[00:24:37]

Bobby is on. Oh, we were all even it was it was St. Patrick's Day over there. So we were full as monkeys. We drank Heineken out of green bottles and we were drinking gin and tonics and vodkas. No.

[00:24:47]

Oh, we were in your element out of it. And Audrey was still loose.

[00:24:53]

And the next thing she says, well, fuck, she says, I was just locking the door and the next thing I got here like a virgin.

[00:25:00]

So the whole place thought, oh, Jesus, here is Britney Spears. Like to like she's serious about it, like she's after and me on.

[00:25:10]

Well, you're one was trying to give me back the hundred dollars to take the microphone off me. She had to unplug. She, she, she took the microphone out of the sock. Is there no Larry or three cut-throat common thing with me. I was going up and down, I was robbing people, I was talking, I was putting the wire around their necks and pulling them in to me and she pulled the plug. She was like, and now funny enough, she was like, get out of here.

[00:25:37]

The whole lot of us. Oh, yeah. Those are the Bob I've done. There's loads of places we were in. We were in Germany, in Hamburg. We're in this tiny little pub and it was karaoke. And I hit the book with me the whole time, gone through all the pages.

[00:25:50]

I can sing this. I think Kenny Rogers. Right. I'd sing this right now. I'd landslips Reza.

[00:25:56]

Now, next thing I'm singing this other family come in and they're right. She's one of them started singing.

[00:26:01]

And I was like, no, wave the book. Like the book you have to back off. I stop singing. Right? So me and Audrey are doing karaoke and we're not alone.

[00:26:09]

Do we sing? We bring the whole action on. We're like, we're on stage, but we're including the audience as well.

[00:26:15]

So they are part of a pitch invasion. Yeah, you can't we don't just stand above the stage. You gave it to me tonight, a 10 year performance, but not for vocal performances, but so only when they're singing and the next thing two cops come in.

[00:26:30]

I mean, I thought they were strippers. So we go down and they were like two robo cops. Big, big box. Right. Come in.

[00:26:37]

We started on bottles and the shirts and they're like, no, stop. You know, the German accent, they are we are like putting their toys into our mouths and pulling them back. And next thing we're trying to get the bass on and he's like, no, I'm a I'm a policeman, I'm police. And the next thing we're like, no, you're not.

[00:26:54]

And we're putting his hat on. And we're like, did we think we're trying to non-competition on top of them? And they are like, stand back, stunned by pure thing.

[00:27:05]

The next thing we found out, they came because there was a disturbance, that it was a real residential area because we were going wild.

[00:27:13]

It was up carnage that then we befriended this Indian woman. She came in and she she said, your your your good friend, you can do the accent better. Your good friend, she was like it turns out she was working in the hospital and she was living too far away from the city. So she'd go to this pub at night and she'd stay there while her shift started again. So she stayed there for the night and then she'd go to the hospital again if she was working place.

[00:27:38]

So we've like every picture we have from Dusseldorf, from Hamburg is OSSE and the Indian lady.

[00:27:44]

And also just in the picture, in the background.

[00:27:47]

But like I could I could be here for the day on the carrier.

[00:27:50]

We think we went into a place in in Portugal in we we got three in the morning with the in morning we and then and there was a law to call fellahs in there.

[00:28:02]

Well I was lying on the pool table with my legs crossed, the microphone down on top of me, mouth raw, asking them did they want to come up and sing?

[00:28:12]

And I was grab a box at the top and they didn't know what it was doing.

[00:28:16]

Karaoke is my absolute like I have to if there's a microphone and you're allowed to use it. I'm honest because, you know, I cannot sing at all. Like, I mean, honestly, it's not it's not even that I'm not good at it. I'm absolutely brutal. And you do. Someone told me I sang in three different chords and one at one time, like, I cannot sing at all, but I love it. We love the performance in Miami.

[00:28:40]

I was in a bar in Miami. Well, fuck me. I asked your man because I have a cordless microphone for this performance.

[00:28:47]

You stop in traffic, you know. Excuse me, you don't have a cordless microphone.

[00:28:53]

I said I want I want cordless for this. I said I need to be able to move. And he was like, OK, yeah, no problem.

[00:29:00]

The next thing he is trying to get the microphone back off, but it's like, OK, want songs like no. And then I was putting it in under different names, so they got me up with me. What went Ronald from Havana asked me.

[00:29:15]

Well I am you see the performance is key because if you get the crowd on board, you don't have even if you're bad at singing and you're eating their buttons and you're calling their shots and your take the performance.

[00:29:25]

Yeah. And you're bumping and grinding on top of them, it's just the best crack ever. So we ever, like, sing or anything or play like these. Big Brother Hector was the lead singer.

[00:29:35]

Oh yeah. But you can go to Prosek's but you have to love man.

[00:29:39]

Yeah. We were phenomenal for about six months. Etoposide. We were top of that. We will probably against us into POSIX.

[00:29:45]

Well we did fucking Latin in secondary school. Oedipus the complex complex complex. No for me except you love your mother.

[00:29:54]

But look at me.

[00:29:55]

Yes indeed it was complex. You have a little more of an affinity with your mother. Fassbach went to the evergreen. Give us a daughter. The fuckin Oedipus complex. Really. And yes, before you know. Before you knock on the breast. Yeah, yeah.

[00:30:08]

Back on the rest of you. Or crawl in Baghdad. Killed Dad gets killed.

[00:30:17]

Dad, I get stabbed in the face of dad basketball and then got into the most exposed to the strong dose.

[00:30:26]

I didn't need to take one every day.

[00:30:28]

I was single for a while. But Carioca can see that I prefer when I go into a karaoke bar and have been in the moonlight places where we've been travelling.

[00:30:36]

I prefer the person who just isn't serious about. Yeah, exactly. Gives it sucks.

[00:30:40]

Having said that, you do like somebody to sing properly or not really annoy me no matter what you or I got thrown out and I got thrown out. Alessi's in a in Villamor and I got thrown out of that bar in New York. Lizzies and Villamor. Yeah. She was like, enough, enough.

[00:30:56]

She was like, you must go now I guess.

[00:30:58]

Is that like the Spanish Ballymaloe. What's the story in Ballymore.

[00:31:04]

Wouldn't you like to know Lizzies down and down.

[00:31:09]

I hate dà karaoke. So would you if you saw it on the street you wouldn't go into a pub.

[00:31:14]

I like this drinking to be my favorite place. Triple whiskey. I like just going. They are not normally down, I, I go into the corner of whiskey to my deposit and let's look at the one I had before and over to the bar.

[00:31:29]

Shoot that be a charge of know what Bernard Madoff debacle.

[00:31:35]

Excuse me, have you charged for dysphonia with fuken or that charge?

[00:31:40]

Well, I have I love a good point about order and drink that turn to the Bible and say, I'm not here.

[00:31:51]

I'm not here to say that.

[00:31:53]

That's because back in the day, this should be a public phone in a bar and people who be forcing people to be phone in the bar, you know, you were there.

[00:32:00]

So I just I love saying that I'm not here, like, yeah, I'm not here. Huh.

[00:32:07]

That's great. Laurita, you are the karaoke queen obsessed with that. I'm going to bring each karaoke. We don't. What television shows do you remember watching as a kid now, apart from a member Hector used to watch while used to watch Dallas and the tapes?

[00:32:33]

It was on the news, Rita, when the episode, that's where we were going to find out who shot J.R., J.R..

[00:32:42]

The tapes were coming in from America that made the news that they had camera crews out in the airport and they filmed the book coming off the plane with the information is clear shot.

[00:32:52]

J.R., I was thinking, what television shows do you remember watching as a kid?

[00:32:57]

My mother used to watch Crossroads.

[00:33:02]

That became the final crossroads was the war on terror between 650 and 645 Monday, Wednesday, Friday on new TV.

[00:33:12]

And then and then Emmerdale came on. But she wasn't adopted at home in a way.

[00:33:16]

Oh, yeah. I loved a neighbors. Neighbors, net, net. It's cognitions. And then the cats then, right? Yeah, the doo doo doo doo.

[00:33:39]

All right. All right. So so, Sally, I thought Sally would love to have you on me. Oh. Then I talk to women behind the bar in the rovers water.

[00:33:49]

Oh, no, no. The other one that was on foot cannot get me out here a Christmas or the red hair. What's her name? And she wore what's her name. Liz.

[00:33:58]

Let me know.

[00:34:00]

That's right. Jim. Jim.

[00:34:03]

I kill Bill before I kill him out. I want you. Oh, Jim, stop it. All right.

[00:34:09]

Well, by the way, the game is neck and neck. His neck was on a separate contract.

[00:34:22]

I shall. I shall. I shall. I was a really solid Kevin. Was always knock it down in the workshop and his idea of the great of open.

[00:34:33]

And then we had written this court.

[00:34:35]

Please. I know what you mean.

[00:34:37]

You haven't. I don't think I go to sleep so. Gosh, yeah. But it was Cuthbert's yourself a couple of years later do years ago we did hang back to Syria.

[00:34:48]

So hungry Makita off eat in Manchester while he was on car and I asked him the thing, I said can I get in as an extra in the rovers return.

[00:34:55]

And so we were down to the Rovers return fellowman on the street for the day.

[00:34:58]

And then he said, the director says you can come and have a point in the rovers, but this won't stop us. So there's no way I have to get out.

[00:35:10]

I thought I haven't got enough in the garden with a pint of beer and I'm sure you can just see me going like this.

[00:35:17]

And I love the way they used to politics. The point that they pulled them off the points thing with the people in this, it was like it's not like it's not a draft, you see.

[00:35:26]

So it's just kind of a pumping action. Yeah, it's.

[00:35:29]

Oh, you're run about right.

[00:35:35]

Is your mattress making noises it never used to or is it sagging causing you to.

[00:35:44]

Go to Nektar sleep dotcom.

[00:36:07]

Something sparked here in a conversation when you said about the junctions in the stations. So my girlfriend at the time, Diplo, who's now my wife.

[00:36:19]

[00:36:19]

[00:36:39]

Hederman Oh, my girlfriend at the time Timna had taken a year off university and I was living on the island islands.

[00:36:50]

I was living on Inishmaan, so I asked the postman, can I get the double door? It's all good, you must do again. This on Miller Double, Double or Homeira mocked Kemar Tector Mockett and Sha're, Lochinvar, Tomago, Gideon Basque Country turned to Moscow in a way.

[00:37:05]

No way the way the way to with an Eagles Neren Morbidities chuckling or shell or mortar shell like a mortar double dohle Hector Marvy.

[00:37:18]

He was his family had the post office so they were in charge of all doyennes.

[00:37:21]

Calculate what Hector Double Dole signed up to share longboards by Hector.

[00:37:28]

Yeah, OK, that's fine. We'll organize that. So I got the double double and I headed for the Basque Country.

[00:37:36]

And I got I got I told you about that. Yes. So when I got to Dublin, I took a bus from Dublin to. And the stations is the funny thing. The stations, train stations. I took the CIA bus to Dublin and then I went down on the bus down to Russell. Yes. And I got on that boat to Rosalia and I went all the way to Lahav. And then I got a train from Lahav to Paris where Laschet, the biggest palash, one of the big stations was on Appalachia's the cemetery where fucking Doors Jim Morrison is.

[00:38:09]

I stopped to go to Phuoc and see Jim Morrison and Bariloche and Louis Pasteur, who invented pasteurized milk like a big fucking.

[00:38:16]

What did you want to say? It was there.

[00:38:18]

I wanted to see Jim Morrison because I'm heavily into the doors. We'll get to that. And you're find your milk as well.

[00:38:24]

Yeah, I like the doors. I like the doors. I like L.A. woman and a fucking glass of milk, so why not like it?

[00:38:31]

And then I came back later than the store and to this house where Bundakji didn't change, didn't like a dog with a bone anactor. I don't know. Riders on the storm.

[00:38:47]

I don't know all the words very pretty song.

[00:38:50]

Ray Manzarek goes off then on the Hammond organ. I swear to you, I did all that and then I had to get back to the main station at this station.

[00:38:57]

If you think Euston Station was big, this was like 400. I got thrown out of French in first year. Right. All I know is Israel started on the train and I'm heading to the Basque country. So I'm looking for it's down near LA Land, as they call it, a run. And I was looking for a run and I which it breaks at Biarritz.

[00:39:15]

This fucking haunts the trains and I'm gonna up. So I got fined and I get on the train and I'm heading all the way down through France. And it's been 13 hours and I'm in the carriage and have me sheepskin jacket on. What happened about did nine hours through it in the middle of the night, the front of the train split and the back of the train in the fourth quarter. Oh yeah, the front of the train. But on the left, how did I fucking do that?

[00:39:42]

And and the back of the train hooked up with another train and went off on the other fork. There was me with my backpack, my backpack and me sheepskin. And I loved it was great. I wake up in the morning, I'd be down near Biarritz and you want you in fucking Yugoslavia.

[00:39:58]

You know, it was nearly Yugoslavia because I woke up, there was snow in the mountains. You going to the fucking.

[00:40:02]

I was heading to work. Where was the head? I talked to fuckin I was sitting on the wrong part of the train halfway through the thing that Mango's genealogies, you know, and whatever the passenger, you change, you change.

[00:40:16]

I didn't change. I stayed.

[00:40:17]

I fell asleep. Right. I woke up. I was in a place called Taub's to Orb's. Outside was Pine Fokin countries.

[00:40:25]

Tibs it's in fucking France, but it isn't down near Biarritz. No, I was on my way.

[00:40:31]

This is the fucking truth.

[00:40:33]

I was one step away from Lurdes. I was one station away from Lourdes. When I woke up, I was in a place called Taub's.

[00:40:41]

That was this. I hadn't a clue where I was. I didn't know anything in French. I fucking just panicked completely because I was now in the mountains. I got my stuff together.

[00:40:51]

I was there to see if you play a tap, tap, tap, tap. I called, where the fuck am I?

[00:41:00]

I'm supposed to be down on a surface area down near Biarritz, heading for Spain and I'm up in the mountains under snow.

[00:41:05]

I'm going, fuck, fuck this. Like this is back in the day. I have no fucking mobiles. I'm I'm done. So I hop off the train and Tyabb is at night.

[00:41:14]

It's fucking seat o'clock in the morning. Oh no, I don't want it mean for me. My missus is waiting for me in Bilboa. I'm fucking lost. Oh. Like one of those scenes from a movie where the train pulls a harness and she's looking over their shoulders of all the people decide where is the electoral is what I might be.

[00:41:41]

So I get a lot of coins for saying it is a ring. Me, ma'am. I'm I'm I'm involved in Tab's. She's aware in the name of God. I said, I don't know, ma'am, but I'm on my way to Lourdes. That's a calling. That's all right. That is a blessing. And I say I'm one step from Lord.

[00:41:59]

You go you go on to lose. No, I. No, no, Tommy. It's a pity you didn't time I have to go to Lourdes if you have the chance that I got in the water and I said it was a knee jerk reaction, I just got off the train as quick as possible. And I'm sitting on the platform and terms. So I and my broken French, I said a little while longer than I believe.

[00:42:24]

It's a beautiful place. So it's a long story short. Yes. Seven hours later.

[00:42:30]

No, that's a short version theory. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to fall for it. What's the long version like? I'm not going to fall for it. It's good. I'm trying to paint a picture.

[00:42:49]

Yes, we get the best paint a picture in the world. But what's it like when I finally did? I don't know. But it's a fucking train. You're ready to go to Lourdes. It's a train journey. It takes time.

[00:43:02]

So I got back on the train that went back the way I did, and they took the fork in the road and it headed for Biarritz. And when I got to be aretz, I had to get a train from Biarritz to Real Sociedad to Dynasty around. I play San Sebastian.

[00:43:16]

Never mind the fucking details. Just get us to Barret's. Yeah, I got remember, it's now and then I went to the nasty which and then another couple of hours later I took the bus from San Sebastian down to Bilbao, and then I got to the train station in Bilbao and our bus station about an hour rang Depner and she answered the phone and she told me to get in a taxi to go to get your. And then I took a taxi out to get you.

[00:43:39]

And then when I got off of the taxi and I never forget the name of the street, it was called Bédard Barry, because that's what the English school that I was going to be teaching in, in. And then I got out of the taxi and there was that blonde haired girl from County Clare waving at me across the street.

[00:43:58]

I went there for three weeks and I stayed for five years.

[00:44:02]

I married Turner and I married her now.

[00:44:04]

Oh, wow. Hector So how much time did your diversion put on your trip? I'd say it's a long fucking trip. Anyway, I was about 18 hour diversion.

[00:44:13]

You know what to put to to wake up in the mountains after being having a snooze at four o'clock in the morning, the fucking front of the train heads for Lourdes.

[00:44:22]

And the other train did this for you, for each of not people just fucking and copped on what I taught.

[00:44:31]

It was so cool that I was under a fucking train going to Spain and I turned and took a turn for Lewis. One more stop on a water walkin in the sacred mountain of endurance.

[00:44:41]

And you'd never know probably. How are you, Mary? How he. I have a very similar type story. I remember it was way back. It was the just gone Christmas ninety one, which would have meant it would be January ninety two. And I was had been a long time ago and I wanted some adventure in my life, so I don't know how I got the money. I think I might want to pool tournament and Salt Hill or something that Christmas.

[00:45:03]

I had enough to get me as far as Badalona, hmm, so I said, well, you know, nowadays you can book a fuckin cheap Ryanair flight and you're gone. But back in them days, you had to fuckin yeta kind of saw the trip together for as cheap as possible. Yeah.

[00:45:19]

So I decided I would fucking because I read about this thing being a possibility. If you met a truck driver down in who who's heading down to the south of Spain, he might be able to give you a lift. That was loads of stories at that corner.

[00:45:31]

And Golway So let me father to drive me as far as I wouldn't have been more than 10 or 20 miles the far side of Gorriti. I won't leave you the hallway at all.

[00:45:39]

He says, I let you out of here. I let you off here. I'm gone. Fuck off. That was really now.

[00:45:45]

No tell you. I let you hear you're fine here.

[00:45:47]

And I was a constant disappointment to my father because I'm not the same type, same type of man as he is a practical fuck.

[00:45:53]

And he always korps he always kind of thought I was a fuckin idiot, never able to do anything good for myself at all. I remember when the first summer I left school, I went over to England.

[00:46:02]

I came back, I came home with the price of a fuckin Mars bar and as far as coming home with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of euro.

[00:46:08]

But I never found the right work, so I want to impress me. Fuck.

[00:46:11]

And Father didn't give me a lick of hitched to Rosalio Meccano trochus anda bought.

[00:46:18]

What the fuck am I going to do it.

[00:46:19]

Was it a 12 or 18 hour course and back in them days overnight slept on the floor. First time in my life ever felt for cancer research into the bar anywhere. Got talking to this, I said I just have to go to one of these four truck drivers. So the third fellow, one doctor says, yeah, I'll give you a lift. I said, I'm trying to get to Barcelona. I've worked promised I'd done a of course I'm going to teach English.

[00:46:38]

I've work promised. He says he says, I'll give you a fucking lift anyway. Boat pulls into Le Havre.

[00:46:44]

Conte is nowhere to be seen or a walk off the boat had to fuck of it was at night time. Now, six or seven o'clock in the evening, a dark European evening. People of color that I had never seen before in my life. People speak in language that never fucking heard in my life says fuck it, I'll get the train into Paris, I'll get the train into Paris and a book and arrive there one o'clock in the morning, go around asking hotels.

[00:47:10]

They're all fucking booked up. For some reason. I talk to people out of nowhere to stay. So I'm walking around the square near the train station, nor for me to stay. One of the hotel owners that I had been out that says you can stay in that room there. But if there's if there's a knock on the door in the middle of the night. She says this is the name to say that you are and it was a kind of an Islamic Moroccan name.

[00:47:45]

And he says there's a good possibility someone's going to knock on the door and shout, who's in there? And this is the name you have to give. Now, I my only other option was to stay out all night in Paris, I was going to do that. I said, fine, give him the money up to the room, pull back. The sheets hadn't been fucking washing.

[00:48:03]

And what was discussed, York. I got on top of the sheets a bang on the door at four o'clock in the morning. Loud, angry Arabic voice Who's in there? I fucking gave the name, but I didn't sleep deeply. Got up the next morning, got information of where there's going to be a bus to Barcelona, 15 hour bus journey, a walk about fucking eight hours across Paris with this fucking bag and me back eventually find this bus.

[00:48:28]

I'm fucking exhausted at this stage. Good on the boss, I'm sitting beside these African lads, big, huge, silent, suffering men, men who are going fucking through something. I don't know where these folks are after where they're coming from, but they're not having an easy ride of it big.

[00:48:47]

He's a big African man and I believe the window. For 15 hours, the Bosket stops at the border from France into Spain. These boys are taken off at they're not allowed in. Spain continues on, arrives in Barcelona at six o'clock in the morning. I never felt like Jack fuckin Kerouac would be traveling. Life had finally begun. And I made I made it as far as Barcelona got into the the bus station in Barcelona, then took a kind of I think it was a tube underground to La Ramblas.

[00:49:22]

Yes. Booked a youth hostel just off Ramblas.

[00:49:26]

And I remember walking up the steps in the smell of fuckin flowers and fresh air and daylight.

[00:49:33]

Even though it was January, it was warm.

[00:49:34]

It was a gorgeous warmth and the colors and everything I felt I'm live.

[00:49:39]

I'm finally all them years spent on the dole, me after the concert and people thought I'd come to fuck and not them. Well, I'm a legend.

[00:49:47]

I'm in Spain and it wasn't easy. But I'm here and I. I love New York.

[00:49:56]

I had about 25000 prosthetists in the pocket. That was all I had, you know, went to the youth hostel in a place called Dariel or something like that, just off the Ramdas booked into the youth hostel for Beautiful Man, Me Little Room. And I walked out and I'm walking up and down the Ramblas and it's Fonso people from so many different countries and stuff like that. I see these there's a crowd gathered around these people. You know, I'm fucking looking in, I'm looking in at them and they're doing that thing where they have the P and C K, you know what?

[00:50:32]

They're really not very good at this.

[00:50:35]

You know, they're just they're a bit shit like and they look scruffy.

[00:50:38]

North African. They look I'm looking at them gonyea's. Poor fucking. You can't even do that. Right? I'm just staring at them that yellow teeth and busted claws and they just and and.

[00:50:49]

Yeah. And next thing I fuckin only realize this looking back on the instant, next thing I was on the outside of the circle then all of a sudden I'm on the fucking inside of the circle and I've no idea how that happened. And I'm the only fucking white person there. I remember that in hindsight it didn't click on me at the time.

[00:51:08]

I'm fucking I'm moving it. I'm looking at this thing.

[00:51:11]

But he's not doing it fuckin right. Like it's real easy to see where the ball is. And there's times where he leaves the cop resting on the P. You can look and see.

[00:51:20]

It's like these cons. They come all the way there from there from an inferior culture.

[00:51:26]

They come over from North Africa and they think they're fucking great, but they can't cope in Europe. And I fucking clever enough to cope in Europe. And I'm not a these these poor fuckers like. So your man is doing the talking. It's shit and he's asking a federal of the other side of the same circle, do, do you want to play.

[00:51:44]

You know, and the fella beside me fucking nudges me another North African fella. Again, I didn't corpuscle afterwards but another North African fella. Give me a fucking dig.

[00:51:53]

As if to say he's really shit is the angle. He's really shit. Now, I haven't slept for two and a half days and I'm a bit fucking exhausted and delirious and I'm excited with the fresh air and the smell of flowers and being in Spain.

[00:52:04]

Anyway, your mind comes back to me now. I'm looking at the fucking the pea is resting. The cup is resting on the praecox. I had three cups in one P and the cup. I can see the fucking pea like your man looks at me, the guy who's doing it, he sees me seeing the fuckin P, and then he just gives the cop a little flick to cover the people I'm seeing as I have fucking I. I may not even start, but I really saw you visually saw.

[00:52:33]

I mean did you see it with your eyes. I did. I did well in the drunken protests. I'm not fucking stupid. I thought the fucking thing was that Tommy. So then he says you want to play. And I said, of course I want to fucking play because you boys are stupid fucking idiots. I'm not Africa. I've never not fucking know I've gotten so he said I put my hand in my pocket. No, I paid 5000 in at the youth hostel hostels only had 20000 per a thousand back in the day was a five.

[00:53:06]

You five pounds was 1000 pesetas. That's what it was.

[00:53:08]

All my money. Now I took out five thousand pesetas which was twenty five quid. Tell me this is me. I've been on the dole. I can win in a pool tournament.

[00:53:17]

I didn't have much money and I was, I took out the five rice and then the same percentage said that once they saw they saw the money and they said, But I'm twenty. When party put on 20, a wing party, the whole lot of them I was looking at. What do I do to. Hey, put on 20. When I saw the fucking pea, I saw my own fucking eyes. I don't think that within a minute I'm going to have 40000 fucking I'd be fucking around 20.

[00:53:49]

I don't care that you're not African country, I you're not right. Me, I write you fucking sideways, you bastard. And he said, OK, which one do you think. I thought and I lifted up. Oh no I know what's going on.

[00:54:05]

It was all gone where. They all started laughing at me. They're not African culture, not me.

[00:54:15]

You are absolutely a line and sinker laughing at me with their flaws. All your money.

[00:54:22]

Can you can you describe that feeling? Tell me that moment when he lifted the culprit.

[00:54:27]

It was like somebody reached in and just took the heart and soul of my body and turned into the bin.

[00:54:36]

That happened so fast when I talked to him.

[00:54:41]

So I went into Placide Dariya. Constant laughing at me. I'm an interplanetary fuck, and I burst into tears. I just I had I had my own money.

[00:54:55]

I had I had a place to stay for three days. I think I'd bought in it. But what the fuck was I going to do after that? So that night, it was the 6th of January, it was King's day in Spain, which is kind of their version, that is so what to do with massive day.

[00:55:12]

They have a big parade down the Ramblas. And what you have is they throw out sweets to the children.

[00:55:20]

Well, I swear, I picked up more sweets, so I was a bit into the icebox so that we could get started on the young kids with honors next year. But I can't. I get your mind off that sweet.

[00:55:38]

Yeah, a lot of that is also why you were gathered, sweets.

[00:55:43]

So I had something to eat. I had no money. I can't cope. Subsidies.

[00:55:48]

So it just last about fucking Ayesh aged Lamoriello or a little over. OK, so I went back to the youth hostel owner and I told him that I've been pickpockets and that let me stay there. You could see they've been crying. Will you let me stay for an extra week. He said OK. The thunder, then a sweet spot, my heart was broken last year, I made back in them days, people don't know, but back in them days, you could phone home and reverse the charges.

[00:56:29]

Yes. You know, that kind of public phone. And the operator would ask the person, would they accept the charges, went to a public payphone like and what was I going to say to my father? I fucked up again in the morning to come home. Yeah, I fucked up again. You're you're right that I am useless. Yeah. What was I going to say that. No. How are you dumb. Dad, this is an amazing place.

[00:56:55]

I love it. Everything is absolutely fucking fantastic. Good luck. Good luck that I'm going to find the folks are going to do.

[00:57:06]

I went down to the the building site where they were making the hotels for their Summer Olympics. The phala from Navan there, John Sheely, I'll never forget the decency he fucking showed me a square with his sister, Catherine Catherine Sheely, beautiful, beautiful young woman.

[00:57:25]

But did you know he was there or did you just run into him when you.

[00:57:28]

I, I met him in Navon over the Christmas and he said he was working in Barcelona and he said, if you ever still come down, I'll give you a dig out.

[00:57:36]

But I got over there wanting to teach English. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

[00:57:40]

So I didn't have any you only had me teach an English class. I didn't have any buildings. I had business.

[00:57:46]

I close anyway. So I went down to John.

[00:57:49]

John gave me the start and I worked there for six weeks and I earned an hour and an hour and earned and I would say two very quick things.

[00:58:02]

I was walking the Ramblas about six weeks after the incident. And I saw the same types of bastards. Oh, yeah, during the shit pretending to be awful. Yeah. And they just stood on the edge of the group watching. Watching. American man and his son were on the outside of the group and all of a sudden they found themselves on the inside of the group and I fuckin just pushed my way through the crowd so I could be on the inside of the group as well and demanded the same thing.

[00:58:35]

The cop wrestled on the side of the P and then realized he's made a mistake or making us think that it's a mistake flicking it over. And I could see I could see the Yanks thinking these North African focused on one I thought was very clever from America to pull the wool over our eyes.

[00:58:50]

And I turned to them and I cleared my throat and I went to say. These boys are having fun, you shouldn't do that when this country was pinched, me. Oh, yeah, pinched me on the fuckin flesh like that. And I looked and he would have fuckin if I did, I'd have been standing there with a knife in my stomach if I'd fucked it up.

[00:59:15]

Yeah. Oh my God. They all the gang around the gang.

[00:59:19]

So I said not them. And the Americans lost their money and that was that. And that was my story. Oh fuckin about going to Barcelona 1992.

[00:59:29]

Barcelona when they lost. Now. I was thinking of wonderful people that I'd met and I realized that the one person I'd love to meet again is my granny. No matter what age were you when she died?

[00:59:57]

I was hit in 20. So you had to go to.

[01:00:01]

Yeah, she was only 74 when she died. But I have such beautiful memories of the woman that I'm not sure what kind of relationship she had with her children.

[01:00:11]

If they speak the same way about I'm sure they would.

[01:00:14]

But my memories of my granny in that long Mary Tiernan are so positive and I can't think of a better example of goodness in the world than my granny. Now, I was spoken to my father about her.

[01:00:30]

You know, my father, she told me a story one day, and this is why she says, my father. The day after my father was born, they attacked Pearl Harbor. And that's how he'd always kind of remember his own birthday.

[01:00:42]

You know, that that the day after he was born, they attacked Pearl Harbor.

[01:00:45]

And he said it to my granny one time the day after I was born, they attacked Pearl Harbor. And she was just a strange I remember the attack, but I can't remember giving birth to you.

[01:00:58]

So I remember as pure goodness.

[01:01:00]

And if I was to think of an example of pure goodness in a human woman.

[01:01:08]

Yeah, you know, pure goodness now, not not women you love, like you love your wife or you're very, very fond of your friends, but pure goodness like. A woman whose only Seijas you was her good site, yeah, because you were a little boy and she was your grandma, she loved you. That's what Grandma Janice didn't fuss over me.

[01:01:28]

Just give me freedom and absolute Marmite and jam and have a slice of toast. And there's a bit of rhubarb tart that I made just pure folk.

[01:01:36]

And I cannot think of a better example of the sacred feminine made flesh. You see that than be that lovely horn grandmother.

[01:01:45]

It's the exact same feeling we had we about a. a couple of weeks ago. A.. Pure goodness.

[01:01:51]

And that's the feeling. I could feel it after their granny's granny, even though when you say the word granny doesn't have that beautiful granny granny all encompassing word.

[01:02:00]

Yep.

[01:02:00]

I actually think the word granny is a bit kin and there's folklore. There is fuck all that can base momoh.

[01:02:10]

Oh yeah, I'm out. Da da da da da da.

[01:02:14]

No more and more is just fucking nailed it isn't it. Yeah. Well she's a mommy. Mommy, daddy. I don't like mom. Do you like dad or is it mom. Do you call it. Would you have called your mother. Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.

[01:02:25]

Ma'am, ma'am. Mommy mommy. Depending on what you were looking for. Yeah. They call me the fool.

[01:02:31]

Yeah I think so.

[01:02:34]

I suppose the question was, is there anyone passed away that you'd like to spend? Who would you like to meet again? I'd like to meet my father again. Would you. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:02:42]

He's gone a long time. Auditoria. When he died mid twenties. He's gone a long time. He's gone thirty years plus. I would have liked to have taken his wisdom a bit more and got to know him better than I did because I didn't really I don't know.

[01:02:58]

I suppose that age you kind of still. Yeah, I just I disengaged myself, my father.

[01:03:04]

Twelve years of age, which I know there was kind of he was fond of Adrup, but that would have happened anyway.

[01:03:10]

Yeah. There, there is I think I've been a teenage Honfleur and as you push away I pushed away heavily, I pushed away and he brought, pushed away and we, we learned how to be independent. And we grew up really quick. And I look now I saw a photo. It was funny. My brother sent me a photograph from Denmark the other day and it was a photograph of him playing soccer with it on the soccer team. And there's my father standing to the right hand side of the team, a community games team.

[01:03:35]

And I sat and I looked at the photo and all it was all the boys. But I just looked at my father and I said, fuck, he was a good looking man. He had the tache, he had the suit, and he was a businessman in the town. And I went, fuck, I could have I would have loved to have more time with that man because he died of 1051.

[01:03:54]

But I would have loved to have swapped some of the stories that I have now, same as you are. And yet I would have loved now to give him some of the stories that I have and for him to see the passion that I have in the guy that, yeah, he would have been very proud. I suppose.

[01:04:07]

My father, my father. I do not have a point with your father.

[01:04:11]

Hmm. If your father, we could have your your your the same age now as your father was when he passed.

[01:04:19]

We could magic we could meet your father. Don't hold the Qur'an for a pint and him fifty one as well.

[01:04:23]

Yeah. Stop. Be beautiful I suppose.

[01:04:26]

But everyone's situation is different. My father went way too quick and situations were situations. But if I could turn back the clock I'd like to just sit in a public. I'd like to go to Dondre or Robertstown or Guereca or the Silver Tankard or Mays's near Trem. I'd sit there with my father and I just I'd hear them talk. He was a good man for the crack as well. Good man for the guy. And he was a good man.

[01:04:49]

And the first stories and as my mother would say, you've got it somewhere.

[01:04:53]

And I think I got it from both sides of that room.

[01:04:56]

And what a great amalgamation of two fucking magnificent towns. Have parents from your mother, from Choom.

[01:05:02]

Your dad is from now nothing but trouble.

[01:05:05]

And they gave me they gave me fucking all the gifts, all that talents. I had to do what I did.

[01:05:13]

I Larita, on your side, I think, you know, again, you told my stories. I don't think you appreciate it. Like, say, for instance, my granny or her sisters or I never met my dad's mother and father, you know, never had any experience them like. And I said I tried to do it my dad now and hear stories from when he was young and stuff like that.

[01:05:35]

I think he go through a large part of your kind of from the eight from the age of 18 onwards. You don't really want to take any heed them and you don't listen to those stories. And then when you get into like your thirties, look, I mean, now you're hearing stories of all times that you're done and you're like you're kind of sorry you didn't ask more questions when you're younger and you're around your granny. Like, again, your granny sounded like my granny.

[01:05:57]

She was just full of love. I need to go back there and get no worries about anything.

[01:06:03]

And she fed did she give you she give you like money? And she just that was just love there all the time, you know, and just she was a great woman, full of full of fun and a great turn of phrase like. She's insulted, you know, all people have absolutely no filter and they'd say something like, you know, like we're washing away, you're faster, you know, the same thing. What was her name?

[01:06:27]

Her name was Annie Brogan. Annie Brogan from Virginia. From Namor. From her. Yeah. The home house is still there. Is that MacGraw?

[01:06:35]

Yeah, almost there. Her two sons live there now. They're two bachelors. Did you go down to your granny's on a Saturday? I went down all the time.

[01:06:42]

She was close to my house. I could cycle back maybe after school or cycle back, like walk back. You'd always be there. Like, you could be there all the time.

[01:06:50]

And these all great for tea. Yeah.

[01:06:51]

Oh, and she used to always be because she saw a respectively white sort of red and we've got to keep Appleton's. Oh Lord. Yeah. She was always back and then I was.

[01:07:00]

What did you feel when you went in. Your granny's as a child. It was always she always gave you a red fire on eleven o'clock in the day. The Teekay Red Lemonade shows that or she used to have the Calfee stitches.

[01:07:09]

Oh lovely.

[01:07:10]

I need to have one on the box of hirers white bread and the butter would be as hard as some Foxworth's. Yeah. You got to watch the races from Newmarket.

[01:07:21]

Yeah.

[01:07:22]

So what a lot of good butter are good cheese sandwich but the best, as much butter as there was cheese on it, you wouldn't know the difference between white sliced bread. Oh Harris.

[01:07:32]

But here's the challenge now. My words or there was another woman that will use the mind, use the challenge.

[01:07:37]

The challenge is for young people in forty years time to be having those memories of us.

[01:07:44]

I know we may we all be great grandfathers and great grandmothers in forty years time when in doing a podcast on Mars so much as ever.

[01:07:54]

Tell you about Mama from Namor. Yeah, my grandmother was a woman by the name Larita from Namor or is Hectorol Hovland. He was from Navon and he was from Galway and my dojo was Tomter and he lived in Byron for 69 years.

[01:08:13]

That may our descendants have great memories of us and may we become great grandparents.

[01:08:20]

Absolutely. Because how many do you know what you're saying there? I half 10:00 at night when the teenager comes and he goes, can I put on a pizza? And we of course, you can cook a lot of pizza, put the fuckin pizza on and have whatever you want because that's what our grannies and gave us did in there. That's what you know, there should be no obstacles.

[01:08:39]

There should be love. There should be happiness. There should be warmth. There should be. Oh, man. That's a great point. Can you imagine that? Jogs one more.

[01:08:48]

Well, everybody, that's the end of this week's episode. Thank you very much for listening. And we'll see you down the road.

[01:08:55]

We have to say congratulations to Mick Constantine. Oh, yeah. Having no one. Last Thursday was a roller coaster on the podcast because we released the single All in Aid of the Mail Roscommon Hospice, and it rocketed to number one by lunchtime last Thursday. Kids Jensen and No one with a bullet, yes or no one in the margin.

[01:09:16]

Yeah. And people can continue to download them. And Mick Constantine is brilliant. Fair play. So if you haven't heard the song, it's on iTunes. Mick Constantina told me not to shoulder his song.

[01:09:27]

It's 99 cent and everything. All the money goes towards the Mail and Roscommon Hospice, which is where the recent works.

[01:09:34]

And we have to sing the fucking. I was going round the house, Tommy's tremendous glass of whiskey. Yeah, it's brilliant. Thanks for listening, everybody. I'm with this guy next.

[01:09:44]

Yep. Well, as I was listening in Cameroon, in Yemen on the run, Ecuador or Panama. I know in Kazakhstan. Well, don't forget to check your prostate, even your man standing cool. And I was on the train too. Good to be true. An actor has a role to look forward to taking sleeping pills that look very dodgy. You're only selling morphine suppositories, a full O'Donnells pocket crisps out on your own and trying to find PJ Calombaris home.

[01:10:14]

Going camping on Connemara coastline is suggesting it's all animal Rabani kind Hektor trying to get a sing-song going. But if I can look like Hulk Hogan, a big shout out to knock moringa and the one and only a.. Well I know but when they get frisky and Tomi's to mend this glass of whiskey hektor telling stories like no one comes clean looked to me in this man. Larry sat out shifting lots on the piss. Do a twirl before you step into our office.

[01:10:49]

Well, it's some soul, but sure you already knew it.

[01:10:52]

The tell me about customer service come from Australia. The Land Down Under. I am from Brazil. Hi guys. I'm from South Africa.

[01:11:06]

Tell me something. What would you say if you knew the world was listening? My boss and his wife are terrible people. I mean, I love my men and all. Don't get me wrong.

[01:11:14]

But it is what let's get back in the loop on what's the word? The international show of word of mouth. You could find us by keying in what's the word at ACORN Studio?
