That's when you keep it down. I'm not about to start on this show, has a sponsor and sponsors name is no TV, no TV. Oh, for me, the best shows in the world, you see entertainment guys sitting in my football practice go to my doorstep. I know you might like it, but not a whole box at all. Your favorite series, jump the kids in front of the TV put on your mind. You stick it on repeat.

I pick them up the following week, joka with Joaquin Phoenix reveals I'm not even called Joakim Thwacking about either. The doctors. Don't touch me. No, don't touch me. Touch no TV. Don't touch me. Search no TV. OK, stop. That's great.

So did you get to know. Well, hello, everybody, and welcome to this week's podcast from Tell Me Hector and Larita Blueish. It's called Bharucha Dundalk.

Tell us about the doll. No, no, I want to go back there. What was that you told me years ago? I met you one day. I think you come into to the house. Then the day or two after you went, I was playing poker till 7:00 in the morning and I won AWADH.

Oh, yeah. I will tell you, that's what you want. You want a good watch. So it was during the race actually, and there was a poker tournament on and 350 people entered and we paid somewhere between 50 and 100 quid a man or woman to play.

This wasn't online. No, this no, this was in the what used to be the Westwood Hotel on the road to my Callon Texas Hold'em poker started at eight o'clock in the evening. I kept going into the toilet and look at myself in the mirror and saying, do not give yourself an excuse to lose. Do not give yourself an excuse to lose because of losing poker to take a chance when there's no need to be taking a chance. Right now.

My technique has changed over the years. Like I went into a casino recently in Birmingham.

And my technique now is because people are afraid to lose that plot sometimes holds them back. I play poker now without looking at the cards so everybody else thinks I've looked at the cards. I decide what they are before I start betting.

So I'm acting like a lad who has two aces. I might have a four and a three, but I'm acting like a and you haven't looked at the. No, I haven't looked at them, so I'm confident. So people read this confidence off me and they say to us, and that's the way I play ninefold.

And they fold.

Now, if it goes if they follow you all the way to the end, you know, you're as surprised as they are when you turn over your cards and you see a jackass beds and the two hearts and you're screwed and you have nothing.

But this particular time in the Westwood Hotel, I was playing straight forward poker, which is there's a kind of a there's a scheme to it.

They say if you have this all these books, you can read a poker theory and poker technique and you have to have a brain from which I don't have to be looking at what they have and the odds of that hand winning. They'd know and they'd know the value of their best, what they're been asked to play in relation to what amount is in the pot and is that are those odds the same as the odds on this particular hand winning? It's complicated.

I'm no good at that kind of show. I have no interest in. It becomes too mathematical.

But I'll tell you, when I had money during the during the Celtic Tiger, you know, and it wasn't my money, it was borrowed money. The bank gave me a loan of us. The greatest extravagance I ever did. I was when I was in my poker playing days.

I did a DVD signing in Cork City. There was a poker tournament on in the Silver Springs Hotel is a call to celebrate is down by the river.

And the last one in one hand, the big one in Monohan that there used to be is the win one. Oh, Steve Ross, obviously. Ross All right. There was a poker tournament on you because you were in Cork. I was in Cork. And there's a poker tournament on in the Eshley.

Ross go on. So I hired a helicopter.

Yeah, I heard of it and I flew from Cork City.

There's a helipad outside the sleeve, Russell, to play poker. I got knocked out after about 20 minutes or so. But anyway, this was in the Western Hotel.

This is another night now in the West. What told her, do not give yourself a reason to lose at eight o'clock to follow morning.

And this is after twelve hours of poker. There's only me and one lad left, and he was his nickname was the Cat in the Hat because he wore a hat for the whole thing and he was from the County Clare. The first prize was 13 grand cash, second prize with seven grand cash, and we've been paying for 12 hours straight now at any amount of Red Bull and coffee in me. And I just said to the captain that the two of us left, I says, will be surplices, you know, because we could be we could be playing another hour or two hours or 15 minutes here.

And we're both racked up all night. I says, well, we split it and the cat in the hat said, we will. And we just finished up right there. And then. I feel like he moved me with an envelope with 10000 euro and cash in it and I walked out of the Westwood Hotel. I was so spaced and excited that I couldn't stop telling people that I had just won 10 grand people. I walked past a bus stop with three people.

I said, the time is the next bus. I just went and grabbed the cash out of the box.

I went into the shop to get a can of Coke and I said, Give us a can of Coke. I've had cash. You know, you're not going to think.

It's like I want to tell people you want to because you're so excited. Where did you go? Where did you look at it for.

So I went home. Then Yvonne was away. So just must in the house and I spread the ten grand out onto the mattress of the bed and I rolled it over.

But I rode the 10 grand the.

I didn't even I just took off and I rode the noise and so I phoned, I phoned Yvonne and I told her I was after winning all this money.

And she says, well, that's never going to happen again.

You know, you're never going to win 10 grand in cash again because you just you just I'm not that good at poker, right?

Yeah.

So she said to me, you should buy something that you would never would have bought it. Do have a real treat for yourself now because this is like a scratch card thing.

Yeah, this is a lot of money.

So do something daft, be irresponsible with the money. And I said not a great thing for your wife to say to you don't know. None of this kind of we could use that for this or, you know, get you know.

Yeah, we'll go on holiday or I said do something irresponsible.

So I didn't know how to ride a motorbike.

I didn't need any encouragement either to do something.

So I went to the local motor bike shop and I said, I've got to be a poker tournament, give us a motorbike.

And they said, I bought one for eight and a half grand.

It was Suzuki intruder to fix it. And he said to me, don't take it for a spin. And I said, Sure, I don't know how to drive one.

I said, Can you deliver it again? And that's the story of the day I won and happen like I've moved up.

Now I've have Espiner, I've moved.

I remember the you can write to me that week after you said I want 10 grand in poker. I remember that.

Were you got a poker like. No, I know I wasn't really mean. You still play it. No.

I want you to go into a casino every now and again. But I do do that thing. I play with that. Looking at the cards.

I was in London there we were in London doing something. Then with the lads were evident. Roscoe stayed in a hotel right near Westminster Bridge. Big Ben out my window, lovely five star hotel. We were over in London for a couple of days filming and we had made the phone calls and we had rang. I rang him. My missus said goodnight now. Yeah, quite. And I was just going to have some food here. And yeah, look, we're tired.

We're tired and yeah, we're just going to have a couple of babies in the hotel, you know. Yes. So how are the kids. Yeah, they're bad. Everything OK, right. Yeah, it's after tomorrow. Yeah. OK, gate. Is the gate closed. Yeah. The lock up. Yep. Lluvia OK, listen, we chat in the morning and I love you. Bye bye. Bye bye bye. Love you. Bye bye bye.

So it's hard to Hrothgar that end.

Right lads. Are we ready. Oh, I talk into the microphone, but I could pick it up. Don't worry, the sound will be fine, so I'm trying to do it. Bye bye bye. So this is a phone call.

So I said to Rascon device. Right, let's go aftershave on deodorant on downtown London.

Here we go. Cut. That was at 11 o'clock. Cut to about half 3:00 in the morning.

Oh, God. We're in a casino off Leicester Square. Now, I'm going to have to stand up, Mike, for this because it gets really good, right? So we are there. How are you doing? Can I have a soda can of two double vodka soda water and lives, please? At two more, please. Thank you. OK, here we go.

Last bread sliced bread roll about brawl about 60 and 70, put 20 quid 70, 25 and take 40 quid and then put five on four or five on three characteristics. I don't 33 please. Rascoe. Yeah. Another 15 pounds. Seventy two vodkas and seven. Open this then have four in the morning here or still at the same time. So there's all free drink or two.

But so anyway didn't I do the fatal mistake. Where was my mobile. Left in the jeans pocket. And I'm my, I'm leaning over the table going yeah.

Twenty pound on seventeen. No twenty five and seventy five and seventeen, ten or fifteen thousand thirty three and twenty on seventeen. Didn't I hit the redial button on all our times.

You wanna have four in the morning tip.

And I had the audience in the casino. For how long. As he said it was at least twenty minutes where she just, she just got tired of listening to the same thing all the time.

Last breath place here she goes up rather well.

It was so funny. And then, and then the next morning I woke up as you do you have your brekky. I reached myself, they got me jox. I mean the jack scared me to get myself ready for the day go morning. And Zack's on the text. The text came back.

What time did you. What about us. Yeah.

How was your night. I let you know. So why are you a couple of Beverley's north.

Oh you liar, liar, liar, liar, liar. You're gonna like stick out your tongue. Look at that. And then I went. She went. Did you make what's in the casino? And I went out and then she just said, you redialed me on your mobile phone in the morning as you were leaning over because seventeen for me is my lucky number on roulette. Roscoe's got me into roulette and I used to like blackjack, but by God do I live like roulette.

And we stack the stack the chips on seventeen. There's no technique to roulette. I don't know.

I don't have any favorite numbers but I we got four seventeen and what happens then. We start having a few drinks and we start piling chips on like the skyscrapers. Like what building tower is after tower after tower.

Then some guy came in and put a hundred chips on to seventeen and then it grows and grows and grows like bloody Canary Wharf, like the AFSC of Towers on seventeen and then he spins it lands on fifteen.

But when it lands it's just anyway.

The Golden Rule is never, ever, ever, ever have your mobile in the genes. As he lean across the roulette table.

I have a question for you.

This is the type of stuff to keep you awake with all the talk to give her a break. Oh no. It's for fucking hours into this podcast, Tommy.

I have another one. Another one. I have another one. Sixteen expressiveness.

This is a Davis. Oh, we have to get back to that.

That is your right. Actually, I don't know what you mean. Joe Biden. Joe Biden. No, let's go for that. Biden. I'm able to save things till next week.

Hey, hey, hey. You got a..

There not an empty dumbbell. Go on.

What's on your mind? I know the phrase oven was if novenas great time for pool and snooker and if you are snookered. And it was very difficult to get out of the.

Would you like to on Moscow there you need a passport to get out of that one way or the boys in EQUASS is a great poll by the shopping center now by FATTO one tournament there, one and only one.

And Johnny Higgins left. And I remember we down in EchoStar, you played necklace about one of the boys would say, if you break off and you are really good, you should be able to finish the table.

So if the break is generous and the balls are nicely spread round the table, the boys are going, Yeah, yeah, Faulkner, you get your tunic, which means get your coat, get your furniture out of here. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

You're Shakespearian.

This is the question I that this are the kind of stuff that bothers me.

Now, where is freedom possible? Like, do you feel like we were talking about this earlier and maybe go back to the same things again? Like I was saying, there's so much technology and so much happening in the world right now that a lot of it I've let it just go over my head and I'm not like I'm not on trend with everything that's happening at the minute because it's just too much going on.

And you talked about.

But an age thing as well, isn't it? Well, you're a lot older than me, so I'm not sure how that works.

An awful dynamic award there.

A lot. A lot less easy.

No, I mean, freedom is no, just freedom is freedom possible. But so so is it possible to feel like I, I, I think I did a gig in Mountjoy Prison and I was talking to a fella there who had shot someone and he was in for a long, long sentence, you know, and he was talking about how, you know, the person he was then wasn't the person he is now.

And he's just he just kind of he wasn't trying to justify what he'd done or he wasn't trying to say that he was more important than the victim or the victim's family or anything like that.

He was you saying he was kind of describing how he got into that situation and on drugs himself and in trouble with drug gangs. And they say, OK, you do this for us and you know, so.

Yeah, so but he said to me, he said, I feel free in here.

You know, now there's a thing going on in prison where the people inside in the prisons can sometimes have less stressful lives and of course, and their families outside the prison and the wardens would be saying to me in a few of the different prisons that I've been to, and you really only see the chaos that these people come from when their families visit them. And you might have a mummy coming to visit her husband might bring in four kids all under the age of 10.

And they're hyper and they're wild and they don't have enough money for the electricity. And the kids are getting in trouble in school and the other one is refusing to go to school and they're just hassled with life.

And your man is sitting there and he has no bills. He has no heat and worries. He has no food worries. He's just sort of that, you know. So anyway, so but this guy said to me, he said, I feel free in prison. I said, What do you mean by that? He says, my imagination. He said, I can I can go anywhere I want with my imagination. I can be in the cell tonight and I will go for a walk on a beach nearby Lebanon and I'll walk up and down and up and down, I just kind of struck me as a kind of very strong mental attitude.

But one of the things I think that I'm really interested in is that notion of freedom and feeling free. And I don't look at animals and I go, you know, animals are weighed down by moral obligations or.

You know, they're just instinctually free, they're living the lives they want to live now, I'm living a life that is full of love and that is full of whiskey, whiskey and cigars and full of responsibility.

But the question of freedom. Yeah. Comes into does it ever do you ever think about that?

Like, is it possible to be free and not to feel free?

I think when you get like beyond a. Teenager, maybe, but maybe not even teenagers, because then they've got obviously other issues at school and whatever something, but there is a freedom as a child, I think. But I think you lose that, don't you, when you get older. There's too many responsibilities and time.

And so your man reading a thing, an article by this guy last week who said that he got it given ten grand and he bought a field in County Mease and he built a house on us and he says he has no mortgage, so he's free to do whatever he wants. And I think a lot of us sign up for this with credit cards or mortgages. We're on this kind of hamster wheel. Yeah. Of debt and repayment. That kind of stops our freedom a little bit, you know.

Absolutely. And I'm just, I think questions about that.

I think I think everything that comes in first and foremost every day is what we see through our eyes, our eyes, then process it into the brain and the brain. I think it's up to us every day to see little signs of different things. Like I saw a guy there up the road. He was a man in his 70s and he had a HIVers jacket on and he had a brand new mountain bike only recently. And we were on the way to football training.

Put the smile of this old man on a brand new mountain bike with a high jacket on one of those days. He was out at seven o'clock in the evening and the wave. And I just thought, that's fucking brilliant. Look at that. Did he feel free? Did he feel happy?

It's just a little stall on a bicycle, so just go on the mountain bike. But he was very responsible because he took all of his I mean, what is freedom?

What is where do we get their sense of freedom? It's from doing that little simple things.

I think if you allow yourself to see freedom, you'll allow yourself to feel freedom. I saw a girl the other day as I walked on the promenade, insulted with my missus. She was marching up the road in a pair of brand new Doc Martens oxblood 15, all really polished, and she was headphones on.

I said, there's freedom. There's happiness. That's not freedom. It's everywhere we look, you don't it's about something that's it's it's opening your eyes. It's open. I saw she could have just killed somebody and recorded it.

And we planned the murder over and over.

Maybe she was free because she had I saw freedom and I saw freedom on a page a couple of weeks ago from one of our players that had broken his wrist in an Astroturf soccer match just before the championship. One of our best players for seven weeks, he was in plaster Paris. He came on there a match a week ago. And he scored four points. Yeah, that's that's freedom, that's for freedom.

I see freedom all the time because I allow my eyes to see freedom and happiness and understand that that's not really how it works.

Freedom is everywhere. We just need to open our eyes and feel it and assimilate.

I see bumblebees working on fucking plums and and flowers and they don't give a fuck if anyone's watching them or if the humans are watching them, they're free. You're right about the daddy long legs today. They're free to free to go.

I'm comparing the freedom of a B to the freedom that a human being is the B doesn't have any mortgages.

Are fucking worries like that. All he wants to do is get in and get out and get it off of the table.

What do we really cherish in life and what's the most important thing? I believe health and a nice fucking dinner.

Fucking seven. You know, if we're going to a fucking dinner at seven o'clock, a fucking get it in here and someone fill the dishwasher, I will have a fucking cup of tea after the Jaffa cake of smuggling or Lord Almighty, that's freedom and that's happiness.

Yeah. I mean, that's how it is. We are. See you meet different people different down here for me.

Once I saw freedom at the Grand Canyon. I don't know how you gonna I saw freedom.

I was crying at the Grand Canyon because I saw what Mother Nature can give to us. I had to sit there for an hour and take in my mind, my eyes were feasting on this geographical incredible fucking thing.

And that's freedom to me opens expansive space. Oh, yeah.

But that's like if you go for a walk on the beach and you just look out and the water and it's there. And I saw freedom. I saw a family of redheads. The father had red hair.

Oh, mother had that.

Children were nine, ten, fourteen and twelve and six and four years of age.

And every one of them had red hair and they came to go away for a weekend a couple of weeks ago. And I saw them on the street and I stopped and I looked at them and I said, a fucking family were all red hair on holidays. That's fucking class.

That's freedom. That's freedom. I saw Collimore score a point, the Centenary Cup final, as in the whole grandstand off onto the sideline, and he popped it off the side of the I guess that's happiness and freedom to me. Freedom to me is everywhere I look.

It is about letting our I tell your brain how we manufacture our thoughts.

This new podcast of wellbeing is powered by what you've just said.

Oh, that's just you seeing things that you see in anymore.

That's the seed of that greatness. You're letting your eyes roll free. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Finally, redhead's. Yes, I'm happy. I see freedom. Can I ask the listeners to open your eyes?

And Tummy's posed the question, are we really free? Everything is free, why do you let your body take it?

I am perplexed and lost your eyes to freedom and happiness, maybe freedom.

But what you see, just because you saw a family of redheads walking down the street, how do you know they're free in the way I see them, because I know what I'm seeing are people walking past them by.

I stood and watched them and I said, oh, no, they didn't, because I was studying them, because I've allowed myself to.

I allowed my 360. I can see you happy.

Everywhere I look, I see happiness and we need to take it up into our arms and cherish it.

What are you on the red family? Do you know that already had families with kids and they're all red hair. Mommy's red hair. Daddy's red hair.

That's fucking unbelievable. But they might be Hoppner if that was a normal family with black hair. People are walking by. They wouldn't even fucking say nothing. I stood and watched them.

But that's because we don't see what's out there, that old man on a mountain bike, the old man you ask the old man on a mountain bike and we on the way to training and he fucking says, oh, yeah, I know how this jacket with a 400 pound fucking mountain bike, he probably bought an Marilyns or in one of those places, one of those mountain bike shops that you can buy for Telfords when you buy power.

He was as happy as he was when he was 12. How do you know? Because I know. Because I see it in my cycling tummy.

I can see happiness before it even shows itself. Are you you're getting your religion on that book a little bit too much to get your answers from life.

Is there really happiness? Watch. Am I seeing the book of answers here? Go on open or up there. I hope it's not too complicated, is there?

I'm holding it up, Larry. What's your question? Is there really happiness?

But he has no freedom. So are you OK? So we ask the book of answers freedom. You can ask two questions. All right. OK, is Tommy going out? You know, the one about happiness.

So this is happiness. Is it is freedom possible? Second accordion. OK, yeah, yep, you have one its freedom possible, perhaps, when you're older. That's what he says, perhaps when you're older. That's that's that's what it says.

And you can ask the other question now. What was the other one?

What's the state of what's the word? I can't ask a too much like Moses gets tired.

And so that's I think you are like you are.

And I say simple is not the words that I want to use, but I mean, is that you do you see it today when you go home to your parish? It's everywhere. Just open your eyes.

You you have a remarkable facility for getting enjoyment out of simple things. Yes. Remarkable. Who does, Hector?

Oh, yeah. Really. To get to get to you know what? I want to see simple things every day. I want to see happiness every day. What happens is you are living in a world of too much sadness and misery.

Why?

Because we are we're consumed by fucking shite and we can't see the beauty that's around us all the time.

That's when you keep it down. I'm not about to start. Oh, this show has a sponsor and sponsors. Name it. No TV, no TV. Oh, for me, the best shows in the world, you see entertainment sky cinema has football practice. Go to my doorstep right now. You might like it. Put on a home box, set off your favorite series. Drop the kids in front of the TV, put on your mind, you stick it on repeat.

I pick them up the following week, joka with Joaquin Phoenix reveals I'm not to call Joakim Thwacker like a clarinet. He hates the doctors. Don't Saatchi Saatchi. Saatchi Saatchi Saatchi Saatchi. Saatchi Saatchi. No TV. Thank God, that's great. Did you get to know? A lad was trained and I'm coaching the other sixteen's and I've been cautioned for a few years, but what's happening now on the Geet pitches, and I'm hearing it now quite a lot with these young lads gone, Hector, and are doing the signal to get me off.

I think the hammer's gone.

Hammers got hammer, hammer, hammer. I said, what? What's wrong with him? What's wrong with the hammer's gone full time.

This is 15 to 16 year olds and it wouldn't be going to tirelessness takes over the test and then it's rehab and it's oh, I think I need a bit of dry needling. A young lad said to me, he's 15. I think I need to get dry in England. I didn't even know I had a hamstring when I was 15. So now the whole team are fixated by buying these massage guns.

You know, the ones I see them. Have you seen this all the time? Is this is this. This is what the young lad Anri and my eldest boy comes and goes, Dad, I think I need a massage gun. I said, What? I mean, watching the Champions League? I said, what?

I think I need a massage coming Havelock on eBay. I said, What's the massage gone? Oh, it's this thing you can read. You can walk the hammer and walk all this some. You can. I can. I can. I can do my own stuff.

Physio at nighttime I massage going on from massage gone with different speeds on it. Wants to do it on rollers to massage the foam roller was a big thing.

People rolling out. So you put the foam, the bit of carbon pipe, what a bit of grooves and stretching out this is. Yeah it's become a fad.

Absolutely obsessed.

Have been injured and the gun does wash. The gun is a complete. You buy a kit where you have four or five different, different heads on it and one for massaging, one for manipulation. And then these young lads are coming to the match and they're bringing them Sargon. And are they expensive? You can spend a hundred, a 400 or 500 year on them. You can go from something for fifty quid right up. But these guys are gone, I think on a fifteen year old said to me, Hector, I think I'll get a bit of training.

This is two days before the match. Crazy. Are you seeing it up there or. But it's up there I think. Sure. Like somebody was telling me in the in a local club that the physio bill was outrageous from, you know, at the end of the year because they were all getting physio from all ages, up from seven from seventeen eighteen years of age upwards.

When this is your physio, physio, they're always getting physio robe's. I see when I was a volunteer themselves, they all need Robbs like they need Robbs before the match. The needs drops Afterman. What the hell like what do you differentiate now.

Been injured or actually just need. Nierop Yeah.

We get up, we don't go to the only twelve matches here in Ferbos before arriving in their slides with washbag to the Rams.

The Slider's go to the match is a big thing. Isn't that Fonzarelli.

You're walking from the potholed car park across the gravel to the pit, the headphones on, the sliders, sliders on the washrag, gel in the hair.

This is the way it's going. I was thirty nine years of age before I got my first roll off of physio. Yeah. For what?

For what did you me lower back spasms. Lower Abi. Oh I know, I know the feeling.

When you come out of a physio you actually feel as if you've got no body. Just for a few minutes. I know I'm here but I don't even know I have a body. Love that I was.

You're kind of disembodied. You love it if you are pure spirit like.

Yeah I just feel as if the physio I got is Adrian. He's got good, strong hands. The physio.

Why Gorta. Eighty but six foot five. His sisters official runs the other sisters, the physio. The dad was a physician and the mother was a physio. He's from Hedayat. Right.

Thought their surname is at physio. All right, listen to this. If I said knew what he was the he's a cousin of the SEALs now. The physios and the SEALs. Danny physio. Danny physio.

But he he told me great story as he was manipulated in the back of me back down in the back with his strong golway hands. He said, Hector, I was in traction when I was fourteen years of age because I was so tall.

I says, What what agent in my head is stuck down between the, you know, the gap that got the gap mine, the gap.

It's like being born here. I come down between the gap and the toilet paper.

It's getting all wet cos I'm salivating all over. This is lovely young guy and he's out.

I was in traction when I was fourteen. I had to be a stickler for pronunciation, but I couldn't let that one go. But one salivation.

I couldn't let it go. I couldn't let go.

Tell me you are a stickler for pronunciation of your saliva, saliva between different accents. It's saliva and salivation. It's not.

But Setsu like says now you've ruined the boss of me.

Now we don't. We the crack cheeks. We're all here.

Every little story, every bit of it. We are the toilet paper. Is that because you're not salivation? I hate that. I just hate you.

Anyway, he said Hector, when I was fourteen, he was so tall. Back in the day that had every day more than school, and it put weights at the end of the bed tied to his ankles and stretches back because physio wasn't big effort. Well, you know what? He was going I think I need a bit of dry needle in 1981.

So, yes, it's called traction. So they were tight weights and big cement blocks to his leg.

Sure. That's. Well, I don't know if I think what's in the particular do a leg. No, get out of there.

Oh, no, this is true. It's called traction. It's called stretching the spine.

But Larry was already six foot one because his spine was was expanding so big because he's from a big family. Officials think they put him in traction.

And then I said to myself, as he was manipulating the back of my body and he's no doubt strong.

And that's it, Adrian. They're they're they're. Yeah, that's it. Oh, Jesus.

He got a lot of knots. And they are now we're getting right into it there and we're losing it. I said if he said if he's in traction, we're back in the day. He knows he's a physio because he was in traction.

He used to lie in the bed for days on end with cement blocks. What was the cause of your your eye?

Just a lower spasm in the back. Lower spasm spokesperson. You know what? Like I was sort of 39 years of age or something for the first physio. These kids are gone 14 years of age, two days before a county. Quarter-Final I think I need a bit of dry needle.

What was the cause of your spasms? Like we have no growth spurt. Or we just as to there's.

I was going on I think I was traveling a lot.

I was doing a lot of driving. I remember yeah. I was doing a lot of driving up and down to Dublin all the time.

Up and down, up and down and and sitting at that little awkward back in the back. The back, lower back. Yeah. Growth spurt is not a great word. A growth spurt.

This podcast is part of the cast creator network available in your broadcast.

Brought me out fishing off the coast of Belmont on a day like no, no. It was a few of us going right.

And I was bringing two friends that weren't from around the world, from Ireland, like they weren't from around Mel.

So I brought this fella says, I'll take you out the border. I see hookers. Three girls, three girls. No, there was a man and woman.

So I said to them, so the first thing was the first thing you join our island.

We arrived out anyway, got left off by this local fella from analysts at the boat and they said, oh, is this the boat that we'll be going out fishing lysosome, not tolerate this? Probably. Probably bring in us to report No one. Fine. Well, it was one of those. Yeah. Two engines at the top of it.

You know, the typical boat you'd see on a leaky boat boat. Yeah. Lakeport as opposed to a one you'd bring out and see if you know what I mean, like a little blue kind of undercarriages and have like four little little seats across them. I don't know.

I'm not familiar with boat in terms of not trying to outdo each other despite a small wooden boat, two engines. You save a lot of time if you start off.

And this is the first thing he says to I brought a packet of biscuits for you for the journey.

I bought chocolate chip ones.

Do you like them? ISIS, which is absolutely.

So we got into the bought life jackets on and a. Shinda said to me, she goes gender, yeah, she goes, said she was and we are we are we going out on this boat to watch diseases?

We are where we are. So what do you. It was right.

I like that. I mean, he's out in the sea at this stage and I'm sitting there, don't think I'm going to make a buck. The water was coming, right. Splashing in nature. Right. Your hand is here in the sea like the sea is, like, so scary. Yes. And here we are at this report.

And there's no roads in the Sea World. And I'm thinking I'm dead. I'm not going to make a buck and I have to make peace with myself now that I'm not going to come back here. So we Highlanders stops the engines way, way out like you could see no cliffs.

You can see the cliffs. So it's kind of you were in this small boat was five of us, a man and a woman.

And she was there when she gender was there. And Charlie Sheen, then Prince Charles, the prince from Nigeria.

He was. Yeah.

So anyway, there they shared. And the prince of Nigeria. Yeah. We're on a boat with you and club No.

One out in the Atlantic Ocean. Well, there's my microphone. Just I was in Palmolive off the coast, like on the Atlantic Ocean. Where did you get a prince from Nigeria. Honourable friends of friends of mine.

Friends of mine. So which was a very disappointing to be understood. The little was right. And here is your man. Typical male, typical. Well, that's right.

I was I was supposed to impress the prince.

Like, was he supposed to tell me, do Nigerian accent, you know, go on, tell me. You need to go on. Tell me.

Welcome. Welcome.

No, that's not it. No, no. Go on to study. The fuck is this place. I am here. He's got a very his actions very cultured because he's lived in Ireland for years.

I talked to an accent.

Unless I feel encouraged to contact Nigerian, please do. Due to Nigerian.

I just want to say that this has been a great day for me to go fishing with you would be valid. But I cannot seem none of my family where I come from isn't landlocked country. We have no idea what this water does. Not exactly what I do not like dirty water and Shaddock. No, don't worry.

Chocolate chip cookies. I am just asking gender. Why it please. This is, this is with the gender.

And I said well we were sorted out about la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la.

I wonder, I wonder would you ask that fishermen, please, could you turn the boat around and get the la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. More dangerous celebrating, even though, oh, for election, they got an earful. Yeah, well.

I can't finish this. I don't know if this story warrants and now he's finished, what happened anyway? Anyway, we went out fishing.

So he stops the boat, stops the engine and let us have the boat. Whatever was. Stop, and he says he says we're just ready to bash officinalis.

Did you ever do a bit of fishing before I left you?

I don't give a fuck about fishing. Give me back to right now. Let us consider Princess Chenda and the prince of Nigeria.

So he asked why we went fishing and the next day. So he drops, you know, I said, oh, where's the fishing rods? I just love it here.

It was just like a piece of timber about the size of the charter.

This boat, you know, about a foot long special on fishing. No. Yes.

It was a piece of timber stopping the fish or something with a load of like fish line tied and wrapped around it and a few hooks on it.

And I think I'm I'm there going, oh, Christ.

Above is just like I was fucking principal.

And it was you can see I was amazed by what was going on. So many anyway, put down dropped down the line. As he drops down the line, he says to me, do you see that Karaganov there? And it was one of those plastic milk cartons, you know, with the handle on it opens. There's a hole in the side of Vertigo's. Give me that. There always is.

I need to do a little wee wee rice at the boat stops.

He's going to put it back. Put that back in your bins right now. Are you using that for a bit.

What. So he hands. I'll show you a cock. I'm sure you'll call. You've got get Moby Dick on his dick. Oh, so he hands Charlie the yards, Charlie the fish in thing, whatever you call it.

And he starts pissing into this little thing. Right.

And then he pours is out into the water and pulls up the fish. I thought gender was going to die right there. And then and he says to us, we're getting off the boat.

Would you like a couple of these fish?

You know, I have never in my life Larita heard anything like that is like I think that's one of the best fucking stories I've heard on this podcast.

Sorry, this story so long. That needs to be broken up into sections. But so we're on the way back. Right. Charlie's starting to maybe get sick now because the board is like Prince Charlie, the prince.

Prince Charles is fine, but the boats, what left and if that's the right word or wave and ah yeah, it was meant for a smell, but it moved.

That's why it's so good you to call you.

That was why let that go. Yeah.

That sounds good. The next thing he says now I have a little treat for you says New Zealand.

Wow. Yeah. What, what, what, what does Jesus me and my friend when what.

What a waffle wafting. So he thinks just to clarify that I didn't say that, but he gives us little, you know, the good ol I think food quadroon bottles. Yes. Yeah.

With the label taken off and he gives us all one of them that's coming up watching for, you know, he's throwing up. So of course I drank mine. And Charlie, you can take him off again in a second set. I wasn't sure if it was something he could drink. Yeah, sorry.

We get back in to the we get out of the boat alive. Alive. Thanks. I really did think.

Yeah, this is it out. He put us into his van then to bring us back into town and he opens the back door of the highest one and he says, Now, ladies, you can sit there.

He opened the van and there was a side table.

There was an armchair and there was a bed in the back, bolted down to the on the bolted down, down to the back. The highest one classic was a duvet on us the whole lot.

He says, you can sit. There are no girls. So we sat on the bed, then there's no window.

You know who it was or anything. So you're sitting there, your doctor's going is like the whole thing was no longer are office course. We were on this board. You go girls and you go out here.

You said that she's been trafficked again.

So he goes, this is not the first time I've been in dark traveling across land and not from Nigeria.

Oh, so where's she from? She's from Dublin. Chenda. Chenda from Dorcy. Is it you want anyway.

So so so we set into the back of the van and the next thing is they're swinging out of the bottle.

I realize I didn't have to do that for purposes is not graphic Charlie system.

And what is what is that you're drinking. Yeah.

And this is just a bit more of that stuff in that stuff we had out in the 40s is just another little drop into coming up on the way in.

So he's he's driving the van drinking water and the three women are in pitch black, two of us in the background.

Oh, and did you think you were going to get rolled or something? Was there? No, he told me.

He told me sometimes. Sleeps in the van. Know now, girls.

So can I ask you, are you still in touch with the prince of no? Yes, yes. Yes. We're going to have so many podcast downloads in Lagos.

I think do you feel as if every day is the same, every day? You mean as in do you feel as if you do the same things every day and we're turning more and more continuously that programmed every day sometimes morphs into the same.

Are you getting bored?

No, it's like it's just like I know that at eight at the moment, my alarm will set off for eight 45. Right. I have already been up for two hours.

Mr. Tommy has been opposite's the crocodile. I have the same little routines and I feel as if every day I go over and I see what paradox I've thrown on the floor.

Would you would you put out your underpants that say you're going to bed? Would you choose your underpants for the following day and let them out?

Oh, no, no, no, no. I say you do this. What do you do that? I mean, what do you do?

Do you do do do do you leave out your underwear for the next morning and my underwear and socks leave the mouse.

I lead emotionally them I put them on the ground between the bed and the toilet and some people do that.

Some people lay out their genes like and if there's a flat body in the jeans they your jeans are your trousers.

Those get them in the morning from the corporate cupboard down in the kitchen. You can't make any noise or whatever. It's like the knives.

I can't make noise. I look up in the morning twenty mclaws. What I do is I have the clothes laid out in the order that I'm going to put them on on the ground.

So you'd have move them up as as pure darkness.

I get up OK, I take off my pyjamas, the cotton flannel or linen three-piece drapes forty degrees outside a three piece suit.

First thing I've laid out on the floor, I don't even have love. I can feel them in the darkness. A pair of socks. I have a pair of underpants novelly feeling that that's a lovely feeling. Next thing I have a pair of trousers. Next thing I have a shirt and I am fully dressed in the darkness without having to look. I've already decided on the colours the previous evening. I can't see the clothes, but I put them on.

But I know what they are from the memory of the previous night and I get closer and I walk out of the room at six thirty two and I am entirely fully dressed in silence. So don't you ever try and undermine the way I get dressed in the morning? That is bizarre. It's not bizarre to get up and stay in your pajamas.

But every man has a different way. It's it's also not true.

Have you got a view? I was going to say, are you OCD? No, got any OCD? I have a lot Spandau Ballet and some, but not one of their songs. I like China Crisis. Look, Larita, I everymen is different.

Every man has a different tradition. Tradition in the morning. I will judge if I've worn that jocks than the day before. I have the same brand of jocks now all the time I know about the color coding on them.

If there's a little glint of light that comes through the heavy curtains and it will shine on the jocks.

So I feel as if every morning I'll go over and put my jeux and then I look for me happy socks, because for the last 19 Christmases I've been given boxes of happy socks. They're awful.

I have I'm wearing a pair of them now, so I'm actually happy onlookers.

Oh, there's the happy. Oh, mine have cactuses. The picture has kind of just amorphous cocktail shapes.

Did you not know that we've been wearing all podcast. We've been having happy socks on happy days. Obviously we'll get you.

So I know that when I slide out that there's 50 pairs of socks looking at me. Andy Warhol designs Batchelor's baked beans that. So I take them. I put them on my Jackson Jr. and then I'm out. Then I go downstairs and this is what I'm doing every morning. It's mad and I have my porridge and put me porridge in the microwave. Then I'll reach for me vitamins and then I'll put out my vitamins in front of me.

One vitamin B multi complex to turmeric to lower the cholesterol of this three omega three fish oils and one glucosamine.

Fokin Boller for all glucosamine Buller's.

I be Fokin white tablet that had such eye joints and most of them are like a little thing when it's like 33 seconds, 32 seconds, 31 seconds.

I get all my vitamins together and then I'll put them in my pocket and then I'll put them in my pocket and then I'll take my porridge and I go over and rub the Mrs. Chia Seeds and robbed the ball and all her fancy millet's linseed oil and cranberries and Cruz Briseno. Occasionally it's all melted down by a bag of it for 160.

You're all right and you always will deliver it. You're only supposed linseed oil and sesame flower seeds and ah and it's only supposed to put a tiny tablespoon in.

I was working for a half an hour and then I go in and then I go in, sit in front of Sky Sports, I put on Sky Sports News and I'll pop me seven o'clock at the stadium. I probably seven vitamines beside me on the professor.

I do it every morning.

I just eat me porridge, vitamin B porridge because to me it be porridge, turmeric, any porridge there is that on.

And then three and then finally because the ones, the omega ones are easy to swallow. I'll do the three at a time of the Omega.

I'm all right.

And that's every day is the same as you're not traveling for the last while and you're not used to this routine. Get out of your normal rhythm.

That's just fine. I just I just think that sometimes I don't know what to do different in the mornings.

Well, maybe if you decide if you didn't decide the night before, which we're going to where it should be, you know, things are going well.

But I tell you that my father used to do it different. And my father, of course, is very conscious of making noise in the morning.

Well, my my father used to do was he would get undressed in the car no better.

Now, before he got on, my father would get undressed at eight o'clock in the evening in front of everyone. And why don't you do then? Is it put on the set of clothes that he was going to wear the following day?

Like the full three piece, like the al-Qaida and you get a feel for it. And he went to bed so he would not get dressed in the morning. She's that now. That's all I'm thinking.

And he'd go straight into the day, wake up fully dressed and go out the day, then wear the clothes until 8:00 and then so he wouldn't have that problem, you see.

But I think you can't decide the night before what you feel like wearing the next day. You need you know, if you're in a bad mood, you might want to wear dark colors. If you were in a good mood, you might want to put on a shamen.

Don't have moods. We are they do wear like a line on the horizon, which is just psychopath's all the time constant, reliable, trustworthy, unshakable. You never have any bad days, are you're kidding me?

We have the clothes decided the previous day. We can't afford to have bad days once we get our socks on. We know it is a day ahead.

A day ahead of us can be when we leave the day to translate that.

Wait to see what you decide the night before, what type of mood you're going to be in. I will go to bed some night thinking I'm going to be all for tomorrow and then it would be all for crack.

And then sometimes I woke up and said, I'd say I say to the children tomorrow, I'm busy.

I can't I'm don't come near me and they don't.

Right. And that's the way we work at Namath's.

I was that's very, very organised, like an emotional weather forecast. I tell them all what type of mood end tomorrow and the clothes and display.

That's when everybody. That's all from us this week. We hope you have enjoyed our storytelling and Yafran. God bless. And we'll see you next Thursday.
