Everything was about emotions. I couldn't cope with the level of emotion in it. Like if my young fella with one of the boys was playing music, they'd be a kind of arrogance and a bit of kind of posturing. And I'm a legend.

I have loads of money type music, etc. But when the young ones are in charge of it, my goodness, it's all heartbreak. And there's a lot of songs about young ones were in fellas T-shirts. Is there a load of them? And the vast majority of songs I was listening to were written by their male performers.

And that interested who what sort of music was all this kind of Dermot Kennedy?

He's the only name I can know Macklemore. I can't remember them names I'd never really heard of.

Only two that I recognized, but very emotional music, just all about love and love. And I m'sieur.

And this is the end for me. I can't go on without you and your gives back me T-shirt and just big, big.

But I just I noticed after I was on the far side a can of God gone up.

I said Jesus. A lot of problems. A lot of emotion.

Yeah. You know, and I remember talking to a woman one time about what people do when they break up from other people and they're going through that experience.

And she was saying to me, that's what women do, is they'll watch sad movies, they'll watch the watch the notebook and ah, what do you do, eat ice cream?

But what you do is you you choose you you don't run away from the emotion. You almost bask in it, so if you've had a bad breakup with somebody, then you choose to watch really, really sad films and you cry it out and you watch it 10 times and you're crying and you're crying and you're crying. And then you're at the far side of it where she was saying I was saying I couldn't handle that at all. And so that's the difference of men go through that.

They don't want to watch sad films. They watch Friday Night Lights are jar's, you know, something, something.

Do you know what I mean to something aggressive? Not and not to be thinking about it. And she said she thought that that was the problem with men, that we don't get into the emotion, rather kind of relegate them to the side and watch a film about football or managing sharks rather than a sad film about emotion.

But that register with you? Well, maybe it's the men that do all the heartbreak. And so they might not actually be sad, you know, might be the man generally the man that has caused that caused the problem. So generally, they aren't sad when the breakup happens.

That's generally it's the men that caused the problem that caused the breakup. Really?

Is there a statistics to. Well, maybe not. Well, it's probably wrong of me to generalize what have you.

So in terms of looking back on your and your friend, I've never been in a situation where I've been devastated by a breakup. OK, but have you have you broken off as well as ever? Yeah. Yeah. So well maybe. Yeah that's true. Yeah. But I'm not really like maybe about your sisters and your friends then. Yeah.

So any break ups they've had is nearly been the man's fault.

Fault. Interesting choice of words. They're not decision. Yes. Because they've cheated on them more. They've. Yeah.

You know again that's a culture perception of sexual act. Cheating. Yes.

A culture is there on that line by me.

Again, I forgot it sounded very good. But you see that's. Well, yeah. Is there a notion amongst women that you no matter how whatever phrase the relationship is going through, you just deal with it and you move on that no relationship is perfect.

It's. Oh, absolutely.

It's the commitment to the relationship rather than the qualities in the relationship. Yeah, I think so. And like, of course, men would be, it's the it's the quality of the relationship, not necessarily the commitment to it. How am I feeling in this environment, this jewel. And if I'm feeling good then great if I'm not feeling good wanting to get out of here. Whereas you same with women. If I'm not feeling good, how do we change that?

Let's fix it. Let's fix it. Are you listening? Generally the men's fault generally I'm getting an edge off or are you.

Hector, I'm feeling that there's got to look at as we say, this podcast is just open up and tell us.

Go on. I'm just saying though, that's generally it's the men that caused the problems in relationships.

There's no statistics.

I bet there is a but I bet you did just happen. Do you think it's 70, 30? Seventy percent men creating the heartbreak and the tears. Yeah, and I think even if they're not responsible for the actual breakup, the responsible for the the like, it might be the woman that does the breakup because of the man's actions.

Charlie, what about the man?

This is this is a very unforgiving zone we've entered into here. What about the man being sad about the breakup?

Not Zeidman, as Toby said.

They're just they're deal with it differently, like they won't admit to it being sad, like those move on.

And just about all these fellas singing songs about young ones wearing their t shirts and must know that the audience is a young girl that's going to be listening to the song.

So they're going to write it like a lot of Ed Sheeran songs, in fairness, seem to come from the same type of soul as it's Ginger.

I think it's prelude to words into a into an algorithm now and comes up with a song. Yeah. What's that joke about country by country music? If you play it backwards, you get your dog back, your wife buck your house back, or country music as well. I'm just fascinated by that thing of, uh.

You think it's mostly men's fault? Well, they caused a lot of problems is that which are which are which are female friends, have they all had their hearts broken by men? When they called, when they thought that this was the one he's the one for me, this is it. Now this is it.

And then all of a sudden, boom, anyone that I know is in long term relationships and they broke up. It was a felony to do with and generally they were cheating.

But as the felons have the right, the men have the right to be unhappy. No. Yes.

I'm sorry. Of course. Yes, they have. But why can't this is the game.

You see, they have a problem with just confronting the issue and saying, I'm not happy. Men like I know a fella who was getting married. Right.

And he knew the morning you get married that he shouldn't have got married.

And he's sitting there and he's like, OK. And then he's thinking, oh, everyone's going to be in the church now. And you want to just go through it.

It will be like if that was a woman, she just wouldn't do it because practically she would say, no, this is a bad idea.

So he got married for about six years and for the entire six years he said, oh, was just not happy.

Didn't look like you want to let people down on the day that maybe there was pressure from some time partner to get married and he just wanted to make her he thought that making her happy would make him happy. Yeah, but he realized it didn't just not go into.

So again, again, and he turns out to be the big monster because he did what he did, but if he actually just said the first day, I don't want this and it wouldn't have been such a big year, but maybe it was maybe he didn't want to hurt anybody, but he's going to hurt you, that you're going to get hurt eventually try to make a better life for everyone in the house.

Build a house he built a house they provided for the kids, did have children who didn't have a house and she's got half a house over.

But so was that is like a good day and a nice day and a good dad for the power of the day. And the wedding was great, right?

Well, it's like I was six years of this is a small price to pay for a good day. That's over on their days. Eighteen hundred days. Yeah, but he made a massive sacrifice a hundred days to make her happy. So there you go. My work was done. Good luck. Yeah.

But then it ends up being better and everyone's sure there's no it's a very yet. He couldn't, he couldn't. I couldn't let down the families the day of the wedding. He couldn't let them in the parish couldn't attend the hotel, couldn't let down the uncles and aunts who had all got new dresses and suits. So he stuck at it. I like the sound of Mulready. He stuck out and he is the old dog for the hard road he put in six long years.

They got a lot at our house every single Saturday morning, the bushes and the whole lot.

But another thing is it's normally the woman that puts the pressure on for a wedding, isn't it?

Is it is that another generalization I'm making?

You know, it might come up in women's consciousness a minute before happens, but I don't know. I don't know about that now. I don't know, Larita.

I think I think I think there's plenty of women out there that would break her heart into, like, snap fire and a broken man.

We are we are beneath it all.

There is an awful lot of emotion in men.

Yeah. Yeah. Just hard to find. If you can find it, though, Tomi's it's in deep under the an archaeological dig to find a no, not at all.

All you all you have to do is play soccer in slow motion or say do you want to watch this new thing on Netflix with Eric Cantona and be crying over that just after dinner. People often say to me like, what was your most emotional day of your life? Is your children been born? That was a phenomenal get married that was just out of this world. It's very hard to top the camera panning across the fifteen Irish rugby players the day we're paying England to go postoperatively on the players.

Did you see the ball?

And he grabbed beside me ball and crying. Oh yeah. And then the camera had to pan up the Shaynak because he was seven footer.

That was unbelievable. And that's I mean the ball has caught all his crying. My young lad walked in at that particular moment. There was only about three or four.

And he comes in and I ball room and that he goes, Well, I was wrong.

That's all right, and she's got cooking the sport utility great moments, I want to see a lot of men would look back in their lives and I would say that was so sporting that was probably even bigger than the other day. And the bullets cried against the bubble back out.

He he grabbed them like he grabbed his best friend. I love you. The of the. I can remember the soldiers coming at us with bystanders. No wonder they won that game.

44 38. Shane Hagen scored a try in that match. He read jestingly set up into the air, holding him down there.

All the Republican blood dripping on Fenian blood on their smartphones.

You know, put children are born every day of the week.

Like, I was just trying be emotional souls then. Would you do when it comes to sport, obviously.

Yeah, of course. Boy, when I see Rubio when I see Ruby Walsh coming down the top of the hill in Cheltenham and he pulling double on a really, well, fancy darts and he can hardly hold them.

And he's just going where they're going. Let him go.

Ruby let him go. Open him up that rabbit. I write about him and let him jump to last and check them at the hundred thousand pages above nostalgia.

I may raise the post up in the air and points up in the air. I really want to open it up in the stirrups.

Oh Lord no.

Even Birmingham Airport two days later, crying with the hangover's Rabei and Barry. That's what you see. That's that simple. But that's an abstract emotion. You know, that's not that's not like personal.

You know, that's that's fine to be sad about that stuff because you don't ups don't get sad.

Overwhelmed. Yes. Ecstasy, but get a bit closer to home like the emotion.

Yeah, I think there's great moments in relationships.

I go and when I get the long coat and I look in the window and looks out and I can smell the dinner and she's cooking and she can smell the grass because I've cooked it the day before and I walk in and then it's just great moments of shared love. And I say, Do you see that grass? Isn't it lovely? Look at the court that is that what you mean?

Is that sort of emotion you're looking for is that when a man comes in after what you were talking about, I get a fella to cut my lawn. So you don't have that emotion? No, I look out the window with my wife.

Oh, that's amazing. Hug each other to think. If you look at such a man, isn't he done a great job? Feel the emotion that. Yeah.

Is that what you mean? Don't you know because you are you started off talking about. Well we were talking.

Is it like a ad for a banker where you see a couple and they're after getting the mortgage together.

Yeah, that's what you mean when you ask the question here.

Oh, I'm saying the G are not like you don't like confront your not you do but men like wouldn't confront their like my example of that fella just not just getting married for the sake of instead of dealing with this, we've dealt with that in a sense. We sense that we said that he paid for the day out and he gave everybody great harmony.

Forty thousand, he paid the hotel in cash and he put six years of hard graft into it's OK.

He doesn't apologize for no. What if he just confronted the issue?

Start like would break our heart? Why did he break up shortly? I should say this is like a male or female thing, or is it just a personal thing?

Like people are like that? She was I mean, can you generalize men? Can you generalize?

Here's just a personal thing.

I tell you what I find no say just in terms of gender generalization to remember you. Woman Cathy, the Australian one, the Aboriginal guy, what was her name? The athlete.

Oh, she won an Olympic gold medal in the 400 metres. Yes, yes, yes.

She dressed up as I cried open seat, a special kind of One-Piece piece renunciation. Yes. I cried when I saw that she was the first Aboriginal athlete to ever win a medal. That's that's emotional. And that's me watching a woman, don't you mean.

Oh, that's again, not like that's not like personalised. That's something on the television by watching right away, I'm talking about in your life, in your circle of life.

But yeah, I was watching, I was watching it so that then that's me watching us.

I was watching this. What she you don't know her.

And that makes it all the more, uh, um, amazing that a woman I don't know from a country I don't know, from a tribal society that I don't know. I know.

Of course. Why why did you get so emotional?

Because she was wearing a one piece, you know, because the achievement of the achievement of an Aboriginal woman winning the gold medal in Sydney, Australia. An amazing moment.

I don't know what you're talking about. I would you do start crying when he saw say, when you hear you never walk alone. Song No by. 110000 people in the know Galban never. Oh, Jesus. The police don't make you criminal. What about me? Oh, come on out onto that pitch. I did go a few times after the last the island.

Now you seem to have abortions. You do. Oh, there. My people like you talk about your emotional topic and you're just holding your emotions for only a couple of moments in our lives where real tears and will come out.

Larita, they're real tears we're looking for. Yeah, right.

OK, maybe I need to be a bit more and more share, you know, maybe I'll be a bit more keeping and keeping your emotions in just for private situations to me is almost an abuse of the fact that you have emotions.

What, you should just burst out crying? No, you should say it for public occasions like horseracing and rugby and soccer and athletics. And I don't want to burden other people with your emotions.

Right. Like I said, my father gone through like I said to my father one time, I was 14 or 15.

I was going through a hard time. He said time. I wouldn't be great at the emotions.

So just leave it off. Just leave it there. And I said, fair enough that I was to go through the motions either way, father to me.

And he said, I've got to go for a ride. And that girl's basically come on to yourself and boys, bring us back a loaf of bread.

I never ever forget the day I sat my father, I said, Tonight's a big night at Channel four, astatine. And he was motioned for and we sat together on the couch at a 12 o'clock. And on whatever day in the middle of the 80s, Channel four started at twelve o'clock on a Friday night. And me and my father sat on the couch in the kitchen and Navan and I said, we're going to watch this movie.

And he says, Is this a good station? I said, Yeah, there's a movie on a show called Scham.

And we watch Schoeman with Ray with the Iron Bar, what's come together. And about 26 minutes into it then there was a lad being bent over a shower. I know in the greenhouse he was putting plants and two lads came in and close the door of the greenhouse. And I'm about 14 sitting with my dad. And next minute Yamen was pot and they could see his face. He was there where he was being planted. It was.

And I said to me, Dad, it's going all the way down there with all the scum unaccounted for.

And your father said nothing. You know, we just didn't say much to your nephew.

He wouldn't have turned it off and put on something else. Great movie scum that was back in the day. So we had to change channel.

Which your finger. Oh, yeah. So it was easier to live the anal rape scene. I think it'll about the chair.

Minutes later, the boys are playing pool. Your mum got six pool balls. It was sock comes down and I'm sitting there in the middle and the father was like, oh, this is a great movie.

That's emotions come the reason. That's emotion. I see the father being. Yes.

Reimplanted in a greenhouse. Emotional Ray Winston.

Right, right. Right.

I was what I found a film last night and gone mad watching films that have subtitles from Denmark.

Oh, Iceland. Oh the bastards. Yes.

I found one last night called Men and Chicken Chickens, Chickens. And then this was the disturbing film I've ever watched.

Where did you go? There is a Netflix.

I think it might have been on men and it wasn't on Netflix.

I don't know. Was it on Sky Cinemas? Some. Anyway, I give us. Give us what?

This was up. I woke up this morning thinking about it. I turned it off midway through like a good I'd say twenty minutes left. It was absolutely fucked up.

Right. What was good from the get go. What was the first scene was the the father dies. No, this man dies in the hospital and the impact of where he keeps going. Right. I'm like, is he going to foreign language.

Yes, he keeps going like as if he's going to vomit and the father dies in the bed. The next thing, there's a vigil left in the hospital room and he rings. The brother who has this is I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but the brother is has an obsession with wanking himself or.

Well, anyway, so he's there on a date with this woman is in a wheelchair and she's a psychotherapist and he's telling her his problems. And the next thing, he goes to the toilet and he's asked himself in the bathroom cubicle, the brother rings mixed emotion. Dad is dead and he comes to the hospital. Now, next thing, there's a video game that does all the time and there's the video they watch.

They go home to your mom's apartments and they watch the video.

And the video is there is the video the father puts on the camera. And as the father goes to sit down in the chair, only when he sits in the chair, all you can see is his underpants. It's not his face, and he says in Danish lots, I'm not your real father and you not you don't have the same mother as you do and your real father is.

And then the next thing is a game show takes over the recording of us.

And it it's mental. It's this it's this island of Denmark called or for something or so that get this boat and this island. And the next thing they get to the house. That used to be a sandwich called a sanitarium. Yes. The troll, they're all like breadths, weirdly, all of harelips until the day we watching this, watching it last night.

And there's a lot docs that have been bred with pigs and there's a big prize bull in one of the rabbits.

And there's one lad, he was about 25 stone. There's another large nose is actually not forms. There's a turkey that has the feet of hooves, stockyards, turkey horse. And then this absolute moron of a brother goes, you know, you want to he brings them in.

I don't know what language that was. He brings them into a room full of chickens and he says to the two brothers that have come to find their father, if you're if you're looking for a woman, basically these chickens will do until the women come.

It was cycle. It is was called a dark comedy. It was a psychological night.

Netflix, which wasn't on Netflix.

I recommend, you know, what is it's called either men and chickens or chickens and men.

This podcast is part of the a cast creator network. That's when you keep it down.

But I'm not about to shout. 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, my football practice go to my doctor said know you might like it but a box. That's 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 fucking Phoenixville from Napoli because you watch them talking about the doctors.

Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me. Search no TV. Thank God, that's great. Did you get to know? Where did you watch the Italian, I can't remember. Where did you watch Italian, Tommy? I was on the verge of becoming a Redemptorist priest, so I watched it in the retreat center in Oklahoma.

What can we do? That's the end of the segment. So I just stopped recording there. We ask about this now, or would you like to save that later?

No, no, no. Let's go. I want to follow Hectors here.

We can come back to that point. I watched and I watched it as we were leaving myself and the brother. We were sharing a house. Right? Right. We were sharing a house in Dublin. Now, my. Habitats in Dublin changed rapidly over the years I lived there. I started off living in Canberra Park in a little bedsit number 58, Canberra Park. On your own note myself, my brother in a bedsit. It was so small, we shared a double bed raised to Dubois' up from Navan.

It was so only 17, 18, 19, 17, 18 or 19 year three to see my brother repeatedly, even three times.

And I thought so. The poor bastard I was. I was in second year when Freddy didn't even tell me. And I think he repeated it three times before we finally got to Dublin. You were in second year when he was first. Can I just say, by the way, what was he aiming for? I was like, I don't know, what were we all aiming for?

You fill out my CEO. Yeah, I fill out yours. You fill out mine. And that's the way you were. So I was 16 doing my leaving cert. Believe it or not, I was 17 on the 17th of August, and I had my trinity. We were living in 58 Cabra Park. I swear that the cupboard you opened the cupboard and you had this tiny little to ring and then you a little tiny sink and there was a communal toilet on the on the landing.

And it was always, you know, by the time we had a communal bed, there was always there was always that imperia ladder bit of soap, you know. Oh, yes, doctor.

The thing and Yardley was always a Yardley, but I just kind of get over yourself and your brother sharing the bed in your late teens, like and would you be legs be touching off each other and not be touching me.

And I'm going to tell you one thing of a chair. No, that would be weird. What is this? No, no, no brothers. We didn't think it would be hard for anybody. We were coming from Navan and we were just happy to be in Dublin because we realised what it was all about. We realised what the power of furstenburg. That's all we cared for. Alcohol Furstenburg Beer was the big beer and snakebites. We would mix 50/50 cider and we'd have all the boys over Swannee sleeping together in bed.

You work out if one of you got lucky, one of us took the couch into sort of a sort of which was outside the bed in the same room was in the hotel. You got to learn about getting into bed with me.

Brother. Sister, where are we going? We came back from the local nightclub in Navan and we had a lot of beer and we are back on diamonds. I don't know what time of the morning it was. We were Lubas and it was a Saturday night. And you don't.

We were in the middle of the whether it was so cold, we'd leave.

We put on the air, we put on the electric blanket before we go to the nightclub. That's why we get up at nine hours.

There will be Raulston before. So we'd have to walk home past the tinkers and the greyhounds. We get into the bed and there's another one as well. Yes, in the house.

You shared a bed enough with this one particular night. I was too drunk. I don't know what happened. But anyway, I get into bed we brought out because I didn't want to make noise and the other part of the house so that because it's like you're not creeping around the house at five o'clock in the morning and the last thing you want to do is wake up.

Yes. Yes. What's that noise? Don't we be coming in the door, be like CSI Miami and FBI and fingerprints and then finally got into the bed. Now we are cautious, ossified, and then we'd be taken off the jeans and and the smell of drink and we both could enter the Bednarz. Lovely. It was all Lord who was just be quiet now. We're safe. We're safe, we're safe. And we left the electric blanket on the door.

That was with seven o'clock. This is about five o'clock in the morning. They heat. It was like getting into Mount Etna. It was like getting into a volcano. But, you know, happened then. We were so bananas. At about eight o'clock in the morning, I was sweating and everything. The electric blanket did didn't feel a little hand Robert me the inside of my leg and I thought I was dreaming. I said, this is one of their best dreams I've ever had.

And my brother was dreaming as well.

But he was the inside of your leg and was moving up a little bit closer and closer. And I jumped into bed with what he had to go on.

And then I just got out of the room, went into my own bed. I went out of the room.

We were so ossified and the heat, the electric blanket and the dreams, it was a utopia. But tell us about sharing a bed in Dublin. Sorry. Yes. How long did that go on for? Just probably that first year. That first year?

No, the incident never put you off. Shared a bed with them. Not the best one I have.

I have so many stories about living in Dublin, but we were in packed and we went to Akum Street and Stony, but then we moved over to wrap Mayan's Grosvenor Road. Then we started. My brother got a job. He failed college, I failed college. Then we moved out to Blakroc Main Street over the chip shop. You know, Blakroc is a fork in the road. We lived over the main street of the are there. Then we moved to Glengarry Glen Ghara Park.

Then we moved to Watson Road Harlina. Now there was a nurse there.

She shared that she had a rugby player. Boyfriend used to come in on a Thursday night and they go upstairs at about 7:00 in the evening and they go at it. And me and Freddie, they'd be pretty loud now, pretty loud.

And they were like, oh, it was it was like being in a scrum.

And sometimes me and Freddie used to stand on the kitchen table and put the glass up to the roof and let's try and get the stereo sound. And one time they were so loud we had to have dishcloths in our mouth to stop ourselves laughing because you could hear everything like it was. It was like been watching a porn movie, but without the pictures, right? Well, yeah. So like a porn movie. Listen to a porno.

Long story short, the graduate job was was less than half a mile from where we watched from. So we watched Italian 1990 there.

And I'll never forget, it was during Italia 90 that we came back to watch and my brother was going out with a girl from Collini and I'll never forget this. At about eight o'clock in the morning, one of the mornings, we were all lying in the bed, not together, but all our rooms, and it was a knock at the door and it was our brother and he was going bonkers at eight o'clock in the morning. And I went down and opened the door and he went after winning the fucking lottery.

ISIS. What Jesus, he says. Or after winning the lottery. I said, What the fuck? He says, Yeah, I have a ticket in my pocket. That's after winning the National Lottery. Freddy's girlfriend's brother, brother. The family had just won the lottery and we were there to buy a house me jacks with my brother, who was great story, brother.

So to the families won.

We just won the lottery. How much? How much? How much? A million and a half back in 1998. And did they have a party that you were invited to or like I don't know what happened after that.

We went drinking for the day with great stories, great memories. But it reminded me of Italian 1990. Yeah. Jack Chout. Oh, oh, I say about four or five years ago, I started drinking whiskey every night, every night, every single night, like I would if I was doing a gig in a hotel after the gig. I find it. I can't really go down to the bar after a show. So I just get what I want to do is unwind then.

But often in the bar of the hotel where you've done the show, there's lots of people from the show. So it's kind of the same, you know, and it can be good crack if you're up for it, you know. But some people get people get possessive of you. You know, I was in a hotel in Carlingford, the Four Seasons in Carlingford. I said to the I twinned with divorces now that the fucked up with the one.

And my dad and I came down and I was walking from the left into the bar.

And as people from the show hang around and say, tell me, tell me, here's a selfie with you. And I said, I'm just I'm just going to grab a pint. I'll be back with you. I hope your fucking choke on it so people can get a bit kind of.

Yeah. Possessive or something. So anyway, uh, I get a drink delivered up to the room. You know, if we're staying the night in the hotel, I'd often changes after being the height the crack you I'm after in the circus master here. Yes. Of this room full of and laughter creating a wonderful energy, 800 people laughing and they're all kind of geared up, you know, and and at five minutes after the show was finished, they're bouncing around the hotel in the foyer, hopping into cars, driving to a pub and down into the bar of the hotel, swilling like full of good energies.

And the edge of the bed in the box boxer shot just looking at me face. I think on your own, a bottle of about and what happens? I'd have I'd have ordered a pint, but by the time I get out of the shower, it's flat flat just sitting there. This is no crack.

Or as I drive home and I could be driving home from Manhattan back to Galway through the night arches. I love it. I love Ireland. At night, the countryside relaxes in a way that it doesn't during the day. It's like the fields can exhale. The animals can just be easy in themselves because they know the humans are out of the picture for the next eight or nine hours. There's a deep breathing in the countryside. If you put your ear to it, you can hear the fields breathing from their diaphragm and you know, it's just beautiful.

So I might have a two or three hour drive after a show and I get home and everyone in the house to be asleep, you know, and I just I bought myself a tremendous glass of whisky, like, absolutely. It could be copious. I could go through, like, two bottles of whisky a week. A lot to go through.

I don't know. It would be a fair whack of it.

So anyway, and in seven days like that, that's a long as we can do all week, I wondered, or would it be the weekend, the weeks that probably you probably do choose a two or three times a meal like the sound of the whisky Lushan off the bottom of the glass, just a beautiful drink. It's just a beautiful way of heading into the into sleepy to turn on the electric blanket. No, just floors, floors on that.

How many of them would you have then. I would go I would have to maybe tremendous ones. Irish whiskey and yeah, I've tried all the Scottish stuff and I had the Japanese do good whisky. The Japanese they've been making ever since ever. Now why wouldn't they. Ever since Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the Japanese got the fucking fright of their lives, they've been trying to do everything American. Have you noticed that they've been trying to become more American than the Americans themselves?

Because they think if they align themselves culturally to the United States, there's less of a chance of all of a sudden the sky exploding and everybody being dead. But anyway, I was so for three or four years at least, been drinking tremendous amounts of whiskey and joined the Corvette. Then I was kind of I was steamed most nights going to bed. I was steamed what is there? So I decided I I'll stop now. So I, I stopped drinking the whisky, but I Monteagle.

Then the wife comes back from santhara with a bottle of whiskey for me, and I think it's bad manners once somebody has spent the money, it's bad manners not to drink. So I said, fuck, now I'd be another four days before and I'm clean again. So spent the four days drinking the bottle of whiskey. I was relieved when I got to the end of it, but these fucking so we had relations down yesterday and I mean, I've been on the drive for two days.

Relations arrived yesterday. What did they bring, a bottle of vodka, Jamison? In that I have to go at again another three days on the clock.

What is it? Because I can I can drink one or two. Tell me even the small ones. But what's the feeling with the copious glasses of whiskey? Where is the body in the mine gone? Because I like my LaRock. Tell me about the world whiskey after two beers.

Just because your body is sober but your mind is drunk. Sedated nearly. Almost. You mean like your mind, your uncle. You want to go out and party after an argument with someone like that.

Yeah. So it's better of I find it's better not to drink whiskey in company.

Well you're doing the right things. I find it better to drink. Guinness is a great social drinker to me. Guinness encourages conversation. You know, maybe you are the same for logorrhea. What would be your.

I'd prefer Guinness if I was having a Guinness or lager.

Yeah, it's kind of it encourages chat because after about three or four days, you don't really mind what you're talking about. Yeah, but the whisky just makes you silent. What increases. But I find increases in Guinness is your are the words coming out your mouth and you become more flamboyant. Yes. Whiskey. Well turns that down entirely and it turns up your interior monologue. So the whiskey is your waiter four or five glasses in you and you're not said anything.

But inside your mind you're shouting at someone, usually the person in the same room as you, but you're not saying anything. So it's a tough drink. But I remember back then back in Italia 90, I was I was the only sober man in the country. So I. I feel as if I missed out on the drunkenness of. His father was an agricultural officer, fertilizer? Yeah, artificial insemination was a big thing when we were talking, you know, like I know his love.

Tell us what your father used to travel around.

The bovine father used to a father was around the farms of Navin and Mead given advice to farmers. You know how to breed their bulls. Just go advice on grass advice and livestock, advice on how to get grants and stuff like that. Yeah, and gigas life and stuff like that. But for a few years now, when I was seven, eight, nine, I thought my father had the strangest job in the world. There was a case of ringworm in the house and I got of those you don't know ringworm.

It's a kind of a it's a a circle of dots that appear on your foot that are off your chest or your arm or your hand. And I got a recently I got on the ankle. I ring. It's a nasty infestation. That's a rash. Mados and I was brought to the doctor and the doctor were trying to figure out where I might have got it, you know, and he says to my mother, the doctor says to my mother, he says to my mother, he says to me, he says, no.

Then were you then at this stage, I was in a den in the woods again. Where were you?

When were your father? Was your father? The father was at work because you doubt and I was in beside my mother listening to the doctor and he said to my mother, he said what he said in Kevin's job, does my father does he lean on get? And Helen, my mother said he does and nothing more was kind of said, oh, that's what I thought my father did, that my father left the house every morning, went on need just lean in and get up.

And I thought, talk like, what a fucking job to leave the house.

Of course, may never work, but it doesn't matter if it's against the house and then maybe an hour and a half left because they don't get used to it, because after they get there till after lunch, we'll get one more for you to get it, get ready.

And then he comes back and says he's all bad, but oh, ring.

Where did you hear that? Or eventually went away.

I don't know. That was when I was in boarding school. I think probably I don't know where you were mixing.

Maybe once the once you there often include in boarding school. So wonderful. I got a bell and every time I started a company fucking ding a ling in the bell like I was a leper. Did you get ringworm recently?

Yeah, I got I don't know how I wasn't really mixin on the farm, but obviously it's still prevalent, isn't it? It's still prevalent to this day and I. Yeah. Well, you get that.

Yes, I was lean and I must have been Indian.

Were you in what you were. Livestock was held. Yeah, yeah, and that's what that's where you can touch off the wall there or whatever and touch off the couch and get, you know, they talk about pandemics and and traceability and stuff, bring more cow on the minute.

And she's can't she kept the teeth are ripped off her sock'em. The calves of her sucked dry blood. There's blood coming over the doors. So she's like she's been sucked at the minute. Yeah. Now is is she sucked 12 months of the year. No, she don't like it when the calves would be somewhere. So for almonds, wouldn't soccer just a newborn calf a couple of months. But would the what's called the wane Ling's winnings would be a bit bigger now.

Yeah. And they get their milk from they don't need Menlyn, they just don't throw water inside or come from a litter when we are not in the weinzweig.

We had Waylon's wheelings. Yeah.

So I was gonna ask you. So a cow that's been milked for dairy produce or.

Yeah. That would be milked like by a machine. Yeah. She milked twelve months of the year. Eight months. Oh she'd be milk friesians. That awful cruel. I don't know. Now I could be wrong but there are milks all the time is from a woman's point of view. It's kind of cruel. Unnatural as in dairy. Yeah.

It's natural to be such for that long. It is unnatural but yeah. I suppose. Why your particular cows.

She, she, she's, she's young enough to be she pedigree. Yeah. Phiona's her name of course.

Does she know that she's a big lady. She's a big right. Tell us about the old lady. Big big swinging basketball from one big house.

In fact I thought she was sucking her services the day when I looked out the window.

Well, I give you a sound of she should be hectors colora. No. Hmm. This is a squalid fiasco, recarve, looking for feed. No, that's a scary calf that needs a little bit higher up, though, a bit more.

No, that's a no no. I used to work with guess.

Oh, no, that's like I mean, that's like the region blues where I used to be like, oh, I can't hire the cops that way.

More gets around the country with the hard on. And I you know, we never put our hands on most anymore. So, no, I can't do anything. That's a shame. No, you're too you're too low.

You need to go higher up. What about this? What about what about what about been a cow about seven o'clock in the evening and the cow just calls me.

You know what to do, that little happy man.

No, I don't think that's you after having a big Swiss roll, that's all in the distance where I live when they start talking to me.

Oh, yeah. Raw. Yeah, I love that. When you take the cap off the mother, they go wild. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a go back to Fion anyway.

And if you want to see Ginge, she's like you. Yeah.

She's your Colerain and she, she's your Colerain great aunt. I didn't know you got it. Kind of red hat cause I had a great pedigree. Cicily, she's a she's Simental Semitone or she's Shirley Shishakly shortly and she she's produced a couple of fine books like Goodlove Strongbow.

Good.

But she has their doll cos they're all costs. Would you have a little Paul to see a couple hundred Tuticorin sued or Framework's does.

Yeah. She looked like something but she's, she's not herself. She's in pain and you're not leave her off for a while. Can you not leave her off. What. Can you leave her.

Never leave her. Where like can you not leave the. Oh yeah. There are for now because she's all she couldn't suck on that.

And you find she's looking at you giving you the eye and she said, I'm in pain. Can you help me. Yeah but she wouldn't.

Yeah. She's the only antibiotic you can get for her.

You probably can but she probably heal up, you know, terrible pain that you used to put that Vaseline stuff on as what you call it. I can't remember it now. Vaseline, nor was Vaseline for cause it was like. We used to have to on the be all jackets like, yeah, yeah, yeah, an industrial agricultural cream.

Yeah, they didn't like that, but she likes to cream for some reason. That's what I like to listen to this more. That's them in a far distant field and they're sort of in the market, and I love that. Yeah. Yes, that's Bristol, that's a pissed off bollock. A motorbike, as you know, I used to be able to do a really Squali car. What about Scour? How is squaddies there scourers? Not a great one.

I normally get that when they're starting in the Melco. Yeah, yeah. That's scary. Yeah.

Apparently, somebody just tell me when a fall gets scour, you know, the mother is ready to be.

I was that again. I was at the play and she's ready to go again when we all get scourer.

Yeah well she's, she's in season.

I was at the play challenge was there a couple of years ago and I think for her it's not only we're in a horse race and had done all the charts and as Lord the lads done and they're all different breeds and nationalities and farmers and kids and fathers and sons. And the father would all the whole massive ergs and one piece jumpsuit and the kids all in the massive ergs and one piece jumpsuit, they all had family, friends, those sticks they used and they were all at the plough and everyone was in great form and was a little lad.

And I swear to God, he was the image of his father dressed like him, act like them. Had the gawkers father had a cap on, I said, is there any farmers around here? And where all the hands go up, this little seven year old comes up because I'm a farmer. I said, well, who's who's you? Me, father? I says, What are you doing out here? To buy a combine? So he comes and we have a little chat on the stage.

And I said, I'm going to test your knowledge. No, see if you're a real farmer. Yeah. And I said, all right. I have a question for you. What would you give a salary cap and he said, I got the whole hole and I think that place cracked open, as, you know, a good young family.

That's the way it is for us today. Ladies and gentlemen. I hope you've enjoyed the Tommy and Hector podcast with Lisa Bloom is.
