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. Welcome along to the Tommy and Hector podcast with Larita Blueish, and I hope you're basking in the enjoyments of our words. I am concerned about the amount I drink. I think I think I'm bored of I'm bored of drinking right now.

Now, how can you be bored of drinking? If you're drinking? If you're drinking and it's boring, then it's not for you. You drink to have the crack like I drink by myself.

Well, you've a problem. Yeah, as long as well.

I could never do that ever. When I get a reason, if the lads are not like the other night, if I have a reason, I'll drink oceans. I suffer for days. You will. However, Tommy will sit on your own.

Yeah. And drink. Do you think you might be suffering from.

Are you stagnant, you stagnant.

And if you go to your GP, which you won't go to because you're afraid they're going to stick something when she's waiting for me. I know for a fact I've ranga we've discussed this. She's great with their fingers, lubricates things, fingers.

So I know you've a lot of problems.

So anyway, I, I, I got into the habit of drinking maybe eight or nine shots of whiskey every night. Yeah we did. We've talked about this a lot in the one. Glauser that's a fucking lot of whiskey.

Me I, I go through like a bottle every three days, every week, every week.

We're not to be nice. Then I stopped so I said I'm not going to do any more. I stopped but I get me presence of whiskey. So I stopped last week. That's it. No more. I'm done with this stuff and then.

Now you've got and then I got two bottles of the present on Saturday on a month to give me a bottle of water into.

There's no there's no calories. No Laurita. What you do, which is the time they're a couple of years ago he gave me he gave it up completely. And then I think it was his wife who said, would you ever go back to and get a point? Because you're in my head. That's that's what she said. Those particular words. He texted me. And then I'm used to me for the odd point and we'd have three or four points.

That's what you need to do. You need to get back on your feet.

But it seems to me the universe is sending me whiskey.

Well, then keep drinking. It doesn't mean I've tried to stop and then I don't buy it myself. It just comes here. I got you this. We got here, they got home and people just give them.

It's like the world is trying to say, don't be taken too seriously. Yeah.

And just think, I mean, they're not giving it to you for you to drink the whole bottle there and then, you know, it's like you can't I, I can't.

Do you make something then how do you feel after eight glasses of whiskey.

I feel a little less angry.

I oh I thought you might at least get a bit excited or happy.

Not angry. We go around the house, but that I've been bad looking at yourself in the 18 years that you get the kids and they're obviously they're better be true.

But I think the answer is maybe Alex didn't just wake up, then tell me all about it, that he was in the bedroom last night.

The God, I love you and I am sweet.

I go to the dog, I drink, I get out of a cage for the dog with an angry with you.

I would oh, we have we have a play in the cage.

A big cage with a big dog is crazy sleepless and I just want to get the fuck I like.

I love you not the kids I yeah. OK man you walk along with the kids.

That's the kids come out in the morning. I got to London waking up at the zoo. I mean I was in love with cautions. You know, the cage is right.

I got my dad's an American werewolf in bana.

Oh my. To maybe I should start drinking a bit less maybe.

Oh yeah.

So we're in Belize, which is a little archipelago of a Barrier Reef. I like that word. Thank you. Archipelago off of Mexico.

We were there for three months. We came through Panama and Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador was a long stint away from home, three months.

So we are nearly home and we know we're coming home and we're well, you know, when you bring your missus and you say, oh, we're leaving tomorrow, I'll be home and but two days time, what flights? So we left Belize. And this is something I'll never forget.

We flew from Belize. To Atlanta, Atlanta to Elex with Lou Elex the whole way to London, where about a day and a half into flights at this stage through the night already or about 40 hours in the air, we get to London and the feeling of going towards Aer Lingus terminal is just unbelievable. When you add forty 45 hours before it, you're in 35 degrees in Belize. We get onto the handling this flight. We fly to Dublin. I get out with the bags.

57 hours later after I fly, I'm back in Ireland. I wheel my bags across the departure or exit arrivals. I go right across and I see Box Boss for Galway and I give the voice to shout. I can smell the air in Dublin and it's Dublin Air and I go, and Hector, are you doing? And nothing has changed as I look around after being in the jungles of Guatemala and Honduras and after and I throw the bag in the boot and I know I'm not going to get off this Boskell Gallaway, but the beauty was on that particular trip.

Sixty seven hours after leaving Belize, we come into the depot at the bus depot and go away.

Amanda Knox, boss, they all get off the bus and he turns around to me and he says, Hector shrank it out your way.

I'll drop you at the head of the road.

And I went, Oh, what a way to end this journey. And we go out through clear go all the way to the top of my road. He turns right, comes to the top of the lane where this 52 seater, one eight one van hool of a beautiful Wi-Fi bus, and he puts on the Parkers and he presses the button up comes the sides. And I take out my bags and he just drives off. And for that moment, I just stood there under the stairs at about one o'clock in the morning and I went, Fuck me, thanks be to God I'm home and life is good.

And the smell of somebody that I could hear and I feel close to me, I swear to God, it just surrounded me and the smell of the countryside. And I went, fuck, we live in a great world and I will meet my bike all the way down the laneway. And I could see me Mrs. putting on the light in the bedroom because she knew I was on my way. Wow.

I was thinking about you there and that the 65 hours flying, yeah, does not do square things to the body. That's what I was gonna ask.

Sixty five hours of compressed air. How do you sleep or do you take anything to help you sleep?

Listen, I have to sleep on tablets down to a T. That's the best ones I called is still marked, which are German called sleep night, still night Stilnox and their purple liquid. Lovely little white baby. All right. Just 10 mils.

And they're just little creepers. So they're little lovely creepers called Stilnox. When I go travelling, I have I am a walking dispensary or Metsu.

Now, I've started doing that when I go to America, but America is great for buying the old sleeping tablets equals Z, Z.

Z said that when you when you're in 125 degrees humidity in Borneo or with a headhunter tribe and you're chaffing under the Gosa as you walk through the forest and you they are going to chase jocks article and the sweat is running down the crevice of your arse and I think I may have to stand a chaffe.

Oh, and then that night you get back to a little sort of a shack. You're standing and you look down and it's like Red Rock.

And then I go, Oh, hang on, let's go over to my little dispensary. And I get out my pot of pseudo cramb right on three fingers in two or three fingers. And thanks.

You know, I bring everything I bring, I think the great one of the greatest tablets that you can ever get, the stillness of that, that, that, that the sleeping tablet of choice, 10 milligrams, which is quite mild, but it's just to make you feel a little bit bendy and a bit sleepy, bendy and a bit soft. And they're lovely.

Yeah. And then you wake up and you can't move your shoulders are like glued to wherever. And is there a slight hangover feeling from them? A tiny bit, but not much. If you took 50 mg of sleeping tablets are 100 mg, you'd be comatose to what do you think the equals or about job is?

What's what is equivalent? I think I have some how about we take these liquid tablets, you know, before you get them in American?

I really like Leonardo DiCaprio in the Wolf of Wall Street. What he's trying to get from the guy Jem'Hadar. What's brilliant. Read it out loud. No. What do you take? No loud, no bull. Obviously.

Call Netflix. They do dry out afterwards.

Janelle, just urge you don't know what I was you know, I was it really was their own fault of there.

They do like I feel afterwards, like I've taken them put down.

I've taken the easy time. Sequel's not Quaaludes, the easy girls that like after when you wake up, after you've had a good sleep, your mouth is completely dry.

And how many of them dosage would you take to take two them.

When would you to come in a little packet of to each like you know like two paracetamol two equals and then take them and you sleep.

I take them on planes. Yeah.

I shake them on the plane to take them away. But we've got them in your bag. I guess I have to fly anywhere. But you're not going anywhere for me all day driving a fucking car. I might get a couple of Ezequiel's me bike.

Ezequiel's Ezequiel's right. You're left with DDE with keys. You have to fly.

That's not been stagnant. I can tell you about cash all the time.

Do you work for the CIA or something? Just in case we're flying today. Don't forget your will always be prepared. It's like I get a call.

I love to play the part of them. I can't. I can't.

I can't find the car keys in the fucking morning.

You've got your passport just in case you do not have your passport.

Not in my handbag now. And would you be would you only take them when you're flying then you wouldn't be in them taking them once or twice a week.

If I was out in Thailand before my holidays. Tell me, like I'll take another traveler. I know I was in Thailand on holidays and we were in this Irish bar and we became friendly with the man that owns the rights.

That was all you need is any tablets when you're on home will be at its long flight. Snow and ice is OK. I might do. Yeah. And he's like this about ten or twelve years ago and he says, OK, I'm up to the office there alone. I'll give you something to give me some space is given me come up to the office.

Yeah. So he gave me it as a blue tablet today. I felt I would be at the airport.

We were blue but he wouldn't give me. He gave me gave me six of them. Right. So I was a writing on them or anything.

They were diazepam. I think it is maturity or some woman for the.

Is that diazepam diazepam there like that stuff on Christmas cake.

Where's it. That's where'd you get all this diazepam.

I got them before I hurt my back. So the doctor the prescription tablets like. They do a lot of drugs that are on the street, like just out of their heads on tablets, they take diazepam, they're just like tranquilizers. Yes. Is it a nice feeling?

Oh, yeah. Lovely feeling. Right. So I said me and my best friend Audrey were both flying home separately because she had been traveling to Australia. So I said to her, right, you take three of them and I'll take you home.

Know, I didn't mean actually physically all you're right.

I didn't mean take the three, like, just have them there, you know, just in case. So I gave her three and I took three. And as it turns out, she had overstayed her visa in Thailand. Right. And she was brought into it into, you know, been interviewed.

This is like buying up abroad.

And after all, she is thinking, oh, shit, I've got those three tablets like, what the fuck? She goes, can I can I go to the toilet? She flush them down the toilet and she was going to college.

But anyway, she goes, that's not a suspicious sound.

And no, God, there's no toilet.

But she says somebody had said to her because she had discovered on the way to the airport that she was overstayed. So there might be a problem.

So they said to her, oh, look, just just bribe them, you know, give them money.

If they bring you into the room, just give them money. So she gives them money. And the woman that's interviewed her starts freaking out in Thailand.

So I got up and end this war. And the next thing the interpreters like, they bring in someone.

Are you trying to bribe this person or she has. No, no, not at all. I was just she I was just giving her some money for her family. And this whole was like bribing her, but she ended up having to pay a big massive, you know, like, fine, maybe maybe four hours.

Might be a thousand for that was like 50000.

But then she went to the ER, she went to the ATM. She had no money in it. This really big fat American man was standing at the ATM and he saw really distressed and he asked her what was wrong and she said, oh, I need to pay a fine and blah, blah. And he went and he took out the money to give it to her, but she never got his name or anything and just paid her fine for her like that.

Wonderful kindness. There you go now.

Continuation of Thailand story politics. Sorry, I'm on my own flight separate, so the first thing I did was ISIS as well. Take one of them now and see how I get on. So I took I took one and a half the blue tablets. I was just so tempted by them. And they were small, you know, they weren't that big. So I took one and a half, I swear to God Ladds.

So I was flown from Thailand to Amsterdam and Amsterdam to Dublin and and then I was getting the boss from Dublin down to Lord driving over the phone.

I swear to God, I drew I woke up three days later. I remember being I remember waking up when the flight stopped. They woke me up in Amsterdam and I had to get off.

And all I remember thinking was just go to the gate, get to your next gate. And with all of my power, I was March Power marched through the airport and the next thing gone again. And I'm sitting at the gates. This this fellow woke me up. He says, Are you on this flight? Yeah. And then I was gone again the whole way from Thailand.

I don't know what tablets they were, but they definitely worked on this one. I woke up, got onto the bus, double again, go straight to the boss, whatever you do, and go straight to the boss.

Just get out of the vehicle, get onto your mode of transport on the bus and then gone, gone, gone again.

Like I said to the bus driver, I'm getting out in Athlone.

Can you make sure I get out there? I, I don't know what the hell you are. Brilliant.

So I suppose the message from this segment tonight, the 60s, don't take tablets from anyone. Why do you see Thailand has that synthetic Thailand invented fucking Red Bull. Oh, I had to it.

I mean, all of amphetamine is yet they have the full moon parties, Thailand and and world leaders, they give me a sandcastle focus and they put vodka to us and they put this little dropping a ball into it. They put seven up into it. I swear to God, more than martial law. The two eyes clean coal.

Pardon, Yang full moon party, no sleep, no sleep.

Kapanga up the words. I can't say penguins. I watch like a lot of movies. I can't say that words penguins says I can't breathe. OK, I'm not.

I got to ask you a question. What animal lives in the Antarctic. A penguin. What animal is little black and black and white.

He runs around the place on ice there they're penguin penguins. Penguin penguins account for his wings.

Penguin or you can see happened to penguins and penguin penguins.

No, no penguins. No wonder. What would you say? I'm not saying I'm not going to do it. I'll give him any hints.

But what you do is I'm going to make it right.

And that's that's so much by large margins.

So the thing to you, I think if you do PCN, PEN and then GW Isness Penguin going to read it, what you're doing is you're put in another G at the end of it.

But the weight of the burden when I read it and the blessings of God.

No, she didn't start baby. She was nine. I must we didn't really focus on those anymore. The penguin.

But what else would the rest of you say is, oh, we wouldn't be saying penguins, what's sad because we like just because we are looking at the people, we're going let the people at home say for themselves, the chocolate bars, they're like, oh, they're nice to me.

They're nice. You know them a pack of six. Yeah, it counts. Yeah.

If you're in a shop now and you want to pick a penguin, a pen penguin, a pen wing, a penguin, I said, you know what it feels like a bully is like back at school.

But I don't know where I came out of in the Batman movies.

Who did who did Danny DeVito play The Penguin. Oh this is hilarious. It's like I read the babies there again.

Would you take out Sarah Paul Grogginess and Larita for elocution lessons?

I went to Locution all my life, so I bought a six month old. Who taught you elocution?

I have. Were you taking a really good diction and used to.

And you said, no, stay with us because we love that. Yes. Can I just say just on Laurita this morning, this is the quality I got this morning.

Larita stayed in Galway last night and I stayed in the penguin. She stayed in a very fancy five star hotel, a lovely nice called the G.

I got there late, though, so I didn't actually get you can get it. And it kind of gross my sexiness to gross just a bit.

I love going to the hotel room groceries.

So she told me the floor. It's too dark in there. You can't, you can't even see your shower and you can't even see yourself.

So 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 are sky. Cinema has much more practice. Go to my doctor right now. You might like it, but not a whole box. Set up 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 somnophilia called Joakim Thwacker manic depressive like a clarinet.

He hates the doctors. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Touch no TV. OK, ok, that's great.

So did you get to know. We've given up checking the iPhone, whether we go to chiral or whether this guy, Carl Allen, who's fucking brilliant from Carlisle, he's an amateur weather guy, and he said the weather's going to be such a.. No, no, no. He's on Twitter. He's fucking brilliant. And I know. And he said the weather's going to be superb Friday, Saturday. So I said, then we'll play Korovin on under six on Friday night.

So then I. I rang Clive and his two sons are good mates of my boys. And I said this might be a bad idea. I know we've championship tomorrow night, but why don't we put the tents in the back of the car? The four boys and the two dads and we get out to Connemara and we pitch a tent as far west as we can go, and he said I said, get them away from the Xbox, get away from the mobiles, get them out to Connemara.

We light a little fire and we'll get out to the West Coast. It's amazing.

We said so. We did it. So Saturday morning we locked the tents in two cars. We iceboxes and there.

Which bit of that were you looking forward to?

I just couldn't wait to get a tent up as far as my worst nightmare. Oh, no. I would have put in the tent.

Would you be attracted by putting the poles in that little Civita thing? Get the pole right. Go and put the pole. Is this right? Let's get into the tent. The pole. Well, one of the tents the boys slept in had two bedrooms off the side of it and the one we slept in was a six month tent with a porch.

I was just I'm still putting it up. So we go to shop on fútbol and everyone. And was it hard to persuade them for us to go? No, I sort of said, lads, this is it.

Get your stuff, get your football, get a rope. People get the Frisbee, get the Hallie's, get the letters. And they were all in there in their Slider's, their Huckerby sliders and their Paul Mescal. Jipé, you know that, you know, put a Hugo Boss white T-shirts. So that was two 16 year olds, a 14 year old and a 12 year old.

And we're all in Swearer got the most shop on four, but erm we got some barbeque later so we got, got the small little barbecue, takeaway barbecues, got burgers, we got sausages and we got loads of like Doritos and Oreos and Fanta and then I got a couple of cans of beer for me and Clive.

We got two boxes of freeze and cold Carlsberg cans for six cans each.

We were like little 16 year old cans. The boys were going on tour. So out we go. Bring any music with you boys at estereo.

We went past TIGHAR down.

Laeter more litter Mollen two of the most FERDOUS West of the islands on the Atlantic Seaboard and Europe only only by Bridgestone.

We ever saw the people who don't know their their islands, but they're kind of their tidelands. They're like, oh, they can, they can kind of you can drive on to them basically masand places.

So I'm just trying to find the postman who was on one of the shows was in lockdown.

Yes. His name is PJI. Column, Larry, his father's Sanni column, Larry, who's a very well-known musician in the area. I had his mobile. He wouldn't answer his mobile. Every time I rang the mobile, it was. NEFE Jhelum, the whole Gilfry largest fog, the animal, Jochem AeroSat can take it, you can take a cab 20 times. I tried to Ringham stopped a little more.

I do have to. It's very hard to answer the phone to you. Yes, I agree. I texted him as well. Now, why is it hard to you? Because you don't have your caller I.D. and can't tell me why not?

Because over the years, I had some fucking great mobile phone numbers. Yeah, I had 086 600 thousand, one of my favorite fucking numbers.

People want to know more.

Just say that in your head. Six hundred, three times. What a fucking number.

But people people don't remember is what a number that was.

What's your number. This was like. So is that your number.

Fifteen years ago I had a number like 086 600 3000. Some fucker got hold of it and would ring me at three o'clock in the morning.

But that's how long that lasted. A month. Six weeks. Well, it doesn't it's not. It doesn't matter.

I'm in bed and they're like, I tell you about you. We all know that. We all got that.

Yeah, but I lost that number, so I said, I'm never going to lose you. Ring aren't the ones that are going to be ringing in your head.

I just wrecked my chance with no caller I.D. and I'm always you telling me, should I live totally to the local I.D.? You can take put it back on if you're ringing somebody, I should lift it.

Yes, because I'm always thinking, oh, God, that's the bank. No, Sean in college watching Pat, Larry is getting 24 calls from no caller ID.

He's going to pick it up on a Saturday when he's off.

OK, it's going to be lifted after the podcast. It will be lifted to full caller ID and a picture of myself gone. That's very exciting. That's exciting.

And bring us both to be sure now that the picture also includes where your house is. So we can call it that.

What's your next step? Go anyway?

So we're in a little more. And I stopped at the shopper on the left hand side before the bridge.

I go, I'll tell you about it, the massive welding mask on you when you go to college.

To my Corto at sock, PJ Peja, something you have got a page out of waste. Posman Coslovich a little more Subotica. Farther go halwa. That's not the chapel Marusa World Kategaya Clay and chain starts Revo Stuccoed gonna want go. She's control Houston She's gonna Natoli Chain Goldgeier Clay Fati or Wone Chancellor Victa mobile home Hooser Water Nahrawan and chain chain to start a clock. She Suchitra she said her father father father. That's his house.

When I played you last night at the chapel did you go looking for him.

Yeah. Meanwhile, they're all in the car. My teenage boys are going to wear what? This is stupid and we're fucking four hours into the journey.

So we go left and then we go up a hill and we don't take that left. And then this road, the road is getting smaller and we are out on the western seaboard. Next up, America over a hill mobile home. And then I see a house in the distance on a rock.

And then people start coming out of their houses because there's two foreign cars coming down the driveway and dogs and they're going to die and that you could hear somebody got shot, guys.

I said, well, p p g is the next minute he comes out, his wife comes out. The sister and I was over visiting and they take out another beautiful baby out of the house. Four or five lovely sheepdogs come out of the house, the father who's out and has oilskins convertible of the back of a shed. It was absolutely fantastic. I couldn't talk to him on the phone, but I found his house. And you know what he said to me when I said, I've been trying to ring you for two days?

He said, Don't you know where I am now? You don't need to ring me.

He said in Irish, what a lovely thing. So anyway, said could be pitch a tent on his land. He said, come on, we walk down about three fields now when you have teenagers and Hugo backsliders.

Yeah. And it had been raining for the last month and it's and dad I get all the stuff out of the car is pretty intense.

So eventually, about three hours later I show you photos in a minute, the most magnificent little bit of grass between two rocks. My view of the of the back of Inish more. I was so close I could reach my hand out and touch you any more. If you're at the furthest end of a more long Biola or man, you can look across and that's little Molalla. He said, will you be all right here? We will. Now we can go swimming on a lovely pier.

Later on that night at eight o'clock, we went down to this tiny little pier and the boys jumped off and looking back and I just said, What? And the twelve pins. You're not allowed to look back that way.

It doesn't mean remembering to you were like, I see your point. The twelve pins of Connemara were magnificent. We came back, we put on the little barbecues the boys had their music on. I lit a little fire. PJ gave me a land of a wheelbarrow. I got turfed from the house and Akuila down through the fields and lifted it over a storm. While we had a Koplik, I took a picture of the Can I Carisbrook sitting on a rock with the sunset and it was a tree and we started slogging away.

The kids were happy. They were laying in, they were playing cards. The laughter out of them.

What have you got? Aces. How do you got it? Simple. The crack.

Next minute I had another couple of cans of that and then didn't I see a torch coming down the field at about 11 o'clock I was there or not. Jesus, please don't tell me it's a farm or something.

Then I gotta go get a little PJ Piedra comes down. What does he bring down as a little present little bottle of the finest? And I mean, it's the finest pushin that I've ever tasted in my life. Oh, lovely.

And then he says to me, he says, you're in you're in a good area for us here. He said, they say these islands have a proud history of fighting Putin. And I went, oh, no, no, no, Alekos. All I can say it is there's been many are still and there still many are still out here in the of and I said magnificent. And then he gave me the butler Pacheco's.

I thought, this is good stuff. And I said, lovely. So he said, we'll have a couple each between the cans. I had about six CapitalSource. I just got started getting bendy and nice and warm and absolutely magnificent. Even it sunset. I was having a tram approaching and I realised that this area I mean, it's just I is different and better. The boys were laughing. The fire was on.

Next minute, sister arrives down.

She's the whole family were down in the middle of the road and the fire was lighting and at about half twelve at night. His sister, who's been runner up, Eileen Sanni, hollum, Larry, she's been runner up in Iraq for years in a row. She was second as best ever channel singer in the country, started singing a couple of songs by the fire. So I filmed the fire shows and you can hear her sing. Go on, give us a blast.

No technical difficulties, wait, wait, the fire looks good anyway, fire cheese was a good fire yet on. He's recorded it, know that, and he said, no, I haven't. I only will get the big break. I know Eileen Sunni column. Larry started singing a song by the Fire. And this was last Saturday night at about half 12:00 at night in Little Mole on the west coast of Ireland.

And Ron said, oh, no, I'm not out to be smartphones.

Asmar saying, calling on him, you know who making my money.

I woke up, I woke up in the tent on Sunday morning. You weren't sure where you were.

The sweat was hopping off me. Jocks were stuck to Mickelsen, right? The jeans. I slept in my jeans and a T-shirt. I used to sleep naked.

I know, but I couldn't because I went to bed pretty bendy and it was, oh, you slept there.

Hair there to me can blow up like I was lying on Ivano fucking rock.

I had a rat throw a timber mouth.

I was like, oh God, grant that.

The sweat that's on Beman in the tent all there was one of those earwigs crawling on this.

Oh like I, I could have it. I said I shouldn't be awake now. I'm sorry. Where's my wife to scratch me shoulders back. I start putting all my clients beside me like I'll go get the kossmann, get the ball.

So then I opened up the zipper. We really felt the balance was all over the place. Oh, look, here is the sea.

And I was like, OK, where's the water dog?

Empty, empty, two liters of Fanta and lemon and carrots gone. Oh, please let there be water.

I couldn't find my toothbrush to wash my teeth. Not in a standard.

But then I realized what a beautiful part of the world to open this.

Did you not jump into the water and get all the action, would you?

I mean, that's a beautiful day and night. Beautiful. Would you ever think of living at that part of Connemara?

I really do have a fondness for Rusnak. Yeah, Coruna, Little Molen, little more magnificent people. They're the most honest, beautiful people.

I feel Vail's fear, but I just, I was just, just lovely. Simple. I have an affinity with them because of the Raccah and people where I learned my art Economia, people who went to me and I do have an affinity Economia and a real how how intrinsic is you been fluent in Irish to your relationship to to that huge.

Huge.

So if you weren't fluent in Irish, you think you'd have a you wouldn't feel as connected to it 100 percent because my level of conversation with them can go really deep, really deep. There was a great image at one stage.

Pedro's father is Sunni column Larry, a legend of a musician from Little Molen, known far and wide as a singer and a man and a great box player. He goes for his 78 years of age. His wife passed away a couple of years ago. He's on his own in the home house. They're here beside Peaches and Taison, his colleague at about eight o'clock that even if I see CENI going in the boat, little boat and he goes to check the lobster pots, Tyson will not get in the boat.

He'll swim alongside a motor. He'd keep alongside the boat out your mangoes suddenly. So he goes out about a mile. And I took a photo of the dog. He's he's got way out in the middle of nowhere.

He'll get onto a small rock and he will sit there and look at his master about a mile away doing the lobster pots. And he will not move until the boat goes by the rock again, where he'll jump in and swim alongside him. And I just took a picture of the dog on a rock in the middle of the ocean. And it was like one man and his dog and his master. But those beautiful little things just to see the light jumping off the pier.

But the level of conversation when you can speak the Irish of the people out there, I suppose they know me because of the show and T.G. Kaha and that I'm a LOKKE, almost a local to them in a way that I'm a familiar face on their channel, the channel of the Irish people. Economia IT based TV channel started by Michael Higgins way back. I know Tijuca is the parish and I love parishes and I suppose that's just another beautiful parish that maybe a lot of people in Ireland would never get to.

Because it's not runestone, it's not Clifden, it's not KRY. It's not a fact. It's not it's off the beaten path. Like it's they really are on the side of a rock.

This podcast is part of the a cast creator network. So welcome back to the show, everybody, hope you enjoy the party. Welcome back. Fuck that shit. Then here, let's go back to the way we're watching this.

So I hope you're enjoying that and I hope you enjoy it. Listen, thanks for listening. It's their podcast. They're from the henhouse, right? I'm on the way to Navan this afternoon. We're doing our annual journey back up to the home house to see the brother. And we have our itinerary is set out the whole way. I'll never forget the time. My youngest boy, Shane, was about five or six, maybe seven or eight.

Yeah, but you never forget it's ingrained in your memory. We drove all the way up on the motorway.

We turned off and kiddie guide and there in the back of the car and we said that we're. Can we stop at a shop? I said, I will not stop until we get to Navan. So we got the trim. And as a new sort of garage on the outskirts of trim, the far side of the road. And I said to the boys, if you want something now, go in and get it will stop at this garage. And we pulled in a really hot day and Hamgyong at the back and he said, I have no shoes, dad.

And I turned round and we had everything brought in and we had quilts, pillows.

We were like the Swiss family. Robinson and I turned around and I looked at Tivnan. We just burst out laughing. I said, Where's your new runners? I didn't bring any shoes are runners. I said, we're going to Navan for three or four days and you haven't a pair of shoes. So we had to lift them into the garage because Israel and then on the way back on the way to Darwin, they were like, let's get down straight into the town.

The Jackson kids start to pull in the main street in the street.

Any goal they couldn't find a pair of runners across the road. Tom Don's another place that's not Tom Jones now. And we finally got my parents were so funny, they left the house and going around.

So anyway, so why would you bring your kids to Nashville? Like, what d do we have?

Because I have never brought my children to Nashville. Why? Because any time I think of a Brenham there, there's nothing for them to do.

Tommy, tell me, your family there, they need to go back. Just my father and my sister.

You need to go back and do a lap of the shopping center.

My father, my sister, Miami. Oh, I don't know.

I just I never I always say your children have never been enough and ever told me you need to bring them back to the roots.

No. Why? I don't know why. I've been for like two days. Like, I mean, you've got to get that bored in two days.

I understand the significance of Navan in their father's life. No, no.

Do you understand that Marvin was the font of stories for the father's success? No, they don't.

I'm curious about when you say you go about what you do.

So so we have it's all laid out shame. The smallest lad said to me yesterday, he goes, Dad, are we going to have. And I said, yeah. He said, have we book the China Garden, the greatest Chinese restaurant the country has ever seen? Michelle, I'll be there in two days time with the shell.

I've been there. We'll be in the corner table. We'll do the China garden one night. We always go to the China Garden. It's brilliant restaurant. What do you have in there? Oh, I'd have that shredded Chile chicken. Well, that's great Chinese restaurant, we go there, we meet all the waitresses, and that would be one way to go. Sharon, there's another great just a hack that wasn't at the conference is this you know, we stay up near the amusements, love, love, love.

So great chats.

We go to the China Garden one night tonight we're going to echoes the Chipo episode.

It used to be McCaffery's We go to the chipper tonight I get a fresh cat and chips The boys love snack box and we'll bring that back to the house so they've already left.

What did you do during the gaoler.

Well going to the hill of Tara, I want to bring the boys up to the Inotera to celebrate their meanness in them and said this is the place where lads Sean Boylan was born in the Bahamas. That was the cure. Tuberculosis.

This is where the kings of Ireland came. I want to walk. They literally go for the quiet, right.

Get them up there in the fresh air and they can see the nine.

We bring a all we might and I just say, yes, pass and take that part. It to me, just on the side of the hill of Tara, I say, look out, lads.

As far as you can see, imagine a 500 years ago when that boys rule, we rule the country and then we might have a cup of coffee down the bomb and then we drive it and we're going to go to sleep and meet friends. We're going to go and buy a recyclable battery charge for the Xbox because we've got three batteries to buy it.

We're going to go across to Woodys, which is after opening a woodies and all that is open and there is a woodies. And I just don't know. We've got to go to Woodies and we're going to go to Korey's PC world to see my father when get there.

So we'll go in and out for two days. But the funny story, my uncle's lots of different uncles ran now, but one of them is Mehar, and he lived over there, lives over in this garden.

And for every time when we hang on just one second here, one second to even Uncle Mehar. Yeah. And when your father's name was Michael, maybe it's his mother's.

How would he be your uncle if he's the same name as your father? Michael and Michael are different names.

Yeah, but controversial. No, they're not all. Shut up, Mihalis. Oh, Michael. Yeah, but you wouldn't have a brother. My father was Mickey Gilgan. Yeah. And his brother with me. All Gilgan. No, he's not reading alone, is he, no longer. Well, let me tell you a story again. He's a cousin of mine, right? So this is my brother Mehar, sort of his brother. My brother, I call him.

He write me also not all right. But he Mehul, we call into the house Saturday evenings, seven o'clock. And this is Navan. Nineteen eighty eight eighty nine, 1990, Saturday night.

And our house was me and my brother getting fuckin ready to get into town to get a drink on board and get out to the nightclub to have a bit of debauchery. Right. And we'd always be swanky getting ready. This Lynx deodorant would be going Freddi out with the shower. I'd be rubbing his aftershave. The jeans are beyond the muscles be ripping Ripponden, the bodies and and then in Moncler.

And we're all waiting in there at seven o'clock as we have to watch a little bit of telly before we went out because he couldn't go out too early. And then we religiously would come in on a Saturday night.

We'd see the car coming and there's me all that has me on the door and it always come to the door to sit down the fire cake and in the middle of the summer and we are lying.

And before we go out, the smell of aftershave and he goes, yes, they're all sitting. And I just thought, what a fucking great statement.

Yes, they're all sitting. As we walked, he walked into the room. It's not love. It's not brilliant. Yes. They're all sitting. And in my mind, I was there as a 15, 16, 17, of course. Was it because we're all sitting there? Why don't we we didn't we only squatting on the ground. But in my head, I just thought and now look, as I'm older, I said, what a lovely way of putting it.

Walking into somebody's house and going, yes, I'll sit.

And that's beautiful to myself. And that's my nationalism's coming out. Now, we need to get more of your nationalism's. Put give me your car.

You could go to the Chinese, throw the kids at the back of my car so that when we go somewhere now, uh, we go stay out of the island. And I know that when we get there, the kids love it out there. All right. So we arrive. We go up to the little house and the kids have freedom. So I open the door and the kids can do like my thirteen year old daughter was out past midnight wandering around the island in the pitch blackness with her friend in freedom, like, you know, the the eight year old knows when he leaves the house, go wherever he wants, like on the island.

And I just I remember growing up and when we were in Navan, we would be brought down to Clonmel and be brought Athlone would be the two places, you know, by. And I had great freedom in them tons.

You know, I had I had friends down there, you know, I knew when I arrived in Clonmel, I would only be in the house two minutes and I get up to see Alan Parker and Cox out the door and gone. I knew who knows that long? Two minutes in the house. I've got to see dad of the road or I go see who? Jim Tierney. You know, I just go, I'd be gone. Charlie Green, Dan Kelly, John.

I mean, freedom. But I don't have the same sense of my own. Kids are not in Navan. But tell me you don't bring them there.

So how would you know they might have friends up there if you let them if you brought them up, maybe you have to bring them back to the home place. You have to keep the link of meanness in your tummy. I think so. So it's a bit late now.

Like you're not going to say no family is going to go up to now.

And I'm not going to say to me, right, lads, the door is open there. Away you go. I'm not going to stay, but I want them to smell Navan. I want them to feel Navan. I want them to hear that now have an accent and I want them to say how to navigate. There's Paddy Solomons lads and have Navan memories of. Yeah, but like go down to Jarkesy Kiernan's on the main street and go in and have a look at them.

Array of Simon's town jerseys, Novarum Mahoneys jerseys and the Puma Kopa Mondale's on the Geet and the Puma cans. It's a Gayet shop in the centre of the town. And Jack Ciego to me he has, like he said to my father when me to shop beside him selling clothes for fifty years, Kilner County, he'll go well, young children.

Well, what do you think of a made team? And I sit in there with Zhaxi. There'll be pictures of McLain's on the Tommy aisle. You have to reunite your spark with the town.

But I know I enjoy what I'm doing gigs and having a love affair. Forget about gigs. It's not about gigs.

I'm I'm I've done a fair amount of driving up to the north of the country and I always drive through. Now, what do you do most up? I pull into the Valley Cafe and get a bag of chips and I drive to the carpark outside the er the chips looking at the black.

But you're not a doctor. And then he's gone and then he disappears from the town. And then I drive through black assa OK, I'll drive through Bellecourt, I drive to try to block Castle and great memories there.

But Larita, what we need to do then is we just need to get him back up the lab. Yeah.

You need to sacrifice to bring the kids up there to hear the beautiful. The beautiful ness of the town must be things to do enough, and just because you're out of it 30 years doesn't mean it's not still a part of the fabric. On the back of you in this segment, Refinished finishes with a lot of work to do you.

Well, that's all for us this week, everybody. Hope you enjoyed the podcast. See you next Thursday.
