Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Banana and Rubby po and the travels continue.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome everybody to Banana Rugby Podcast and it is back.
Why no even you message me going, Tom, do we
have a fallen out or something? No, we didn't have
a fall out, but I'd say you wouldn't have time
anyway with the Hordy Guardian and the up and down
and the ins and out that you've been up to
in the last fortnight slash week last week. How you

(00:29):
keep it?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I'm all right recovering from the saga of the fucking
power outage in the two countries that I was in.
Flew from one power outage to the other power outage
and fucking got stuck in Portugal. I'm on the way
home from Seville last week, so you're right. I wouldn't
have the time to fall out with Ja.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
This is exactly now. I need to know more about
Seville because I'm very interested in oranges. Tell me, did
you have such oranges? No? Come on, how do you
you try all the local culinary delights? I did.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
The oranges aren't really in season because I was looking
at some orange trees and there were only a few
oranges on it. So I wasn't like blown away by
the orange scene in Seville. Oh, but we did have
lovely tappas and I did have orange juice. I think
I lovely orange juice in Porto, do you know? So
I stayed in Porto for a night on the way there.

(01:30):
Wasn't supposed to stay in Porto on the way home,
but I got two extra nights there thanks to power outage.
I stayed in the Sandoman you know Sandoman port Yeah,
I stayed in They have a hostital like in their
in their distillery or whatever you call the porch distillery.
It was so cool and again like I can't really drink.

(01:53):
I'm kind of slowly getting back to it, but I
still have to take it very, very easy. I had
the most delicious like glass of I.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Actually saw you having this a cheeky veno and I'm like,
oh no, And as I say that, like I was
looking around the corner at you and then I ran away.
I saw this on Instagram, but.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Potted me no because I was I was, I love
this is the thing, Like I love traveling my own
sometimes because do you know, if you're with people, you'd
be kind of chatting, you kind of you enjoy the food.
But I enjoy the food so much when I'm like
on my own because I'm totally.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
One hundred and ten percent you had I one hont
I only literally came to that. I suppose came to
that my end. Now what realization realization? Jesus Christ. I
couldn't even get a realization into my realization. But I
was actually eating by myself, which I get to do
once or twice a month, proper food, you know, good food,

(02:51):
not do baggy chips in the fucking car line. But
I was going, Jesus Christ, every mouthful of this is
delicios So I get it.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, yeah, you can just completely like you don't have
to look at anyone like you know, or think think
of anything. You can literally just think fully about the
food and what goes with what, and kind of you
go at your own pace and you're not looking at
the other person. And they finished, they're going slower faster
than me. I make. I make a very messy plate

(03:25):
when I'm putting all the things like on my fork.
My plate gets very messy, and I'm worried that people are.
Yeah it does. I get worried the people are like
looking at my messy plate, I give a bo I
was literally like, and this was kind of my treat
to myself after being stranded there. It was so stressful.
Oh my god, well I say that I didn't have
kids with me, right, the people with kids that I

(03:45):
was feeling sorry for, so like whatever, it was shit,
but it was grand like poor poor me. Like I
wasn't fucking feeling too sorry for myself. But I was like,
after that stressful day, now I'm going to get a
nice dinner for myself. This is important, right, And I
was just walking around and I looked up at Ramen restaurant,

(04:05):
because as good as Larachell is, there's no good ram
in here. Oh there's no there's no great ram In here.
So I said, maybe I get a good Ramen. And
I was outside thinking about it, and this just this
random fell on the street was like, oh this is
this is a really good restaurant. And I was like,
I'm stuck between Raman or something Portuguese and he was like, right,
let me suggest somewhere for you. He just gave me

(04:26):
the name of a restaurant and I went there and
had my dinner on the side of the street like
ate like an absolute queen glass of wine dessert coffee
was glided with myself and so yeah, that was Porto.
But Saville, sorry, we were talking about Saville. We had

(04:49):
with a real nice arenb. But it was super expensive.
I paid about three hundred It was almost four hundred jour, right,
so a group of seven of us, Right, it's almost
four hundred dures for me for three nights.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
What hold on fucking second, That wasn't you cover covering
the bill each? You paid that ship each?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was And this is one of the best, This
is one of the best valuees we could find. Yes,
we wouldn't figure it out. We were like, oh no,
we're after choosing something during the Easter holidays or whatever.
We did notice that the prices went up fairly sharply,
but look, we'd committed to it at this stage. And
this was our thirtieth birthday party trip that was supposed

(05:34):
to be in Liverpool years ago and got canceled the
first weekend of lockdown, right.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So this is us to be fair, to be fair,
sometimes God moves in these serious ways. You found yourselves
in Seville and that Liverpool, not this in not this
in Liverpool, but at the same time, even Liverpool dams
would be gone. Hey. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Thing was I was playing for Harlequins and we had
a game in Liverpool, so the girls were going to
come watch we play and then we were going to
spend the weekend in Liverpool. So that was like that
was why, Okay, so I'd love to go to Liverpool,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's a great town. It's like we're literally only talking
about somebody the other night about it at length. We're
talking about where the accent came from, and we were
trying to decipher that. We figured it was a cross
between Dublin, North Welch and Cork. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
know where in the middle wards comes from. Like chicken,

(06:34):
I don't know where that happened comes from.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
But it's very strange. It's a little French even it is.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
A bit French. It is a bit French, I wonder.
At the same time, though, I mean, Seville it's.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
All right, line, we got some lovely weather, but you
know what happened. There was a lot of people going
around in soccer jerseys and I was like, that's there
must be a match on or something. There's loads of
It just felt like those that kind of a crowd
like parents with their kids, and they were all wearing
the jerseys like there's some kind of match on here

(07:08):
and anyway on the Saturday, could hear like literally from
like nine thirty am, like the drums in the streets
of singing, and looked it up the final of the
Copa del Rey, which is doll Ireland in.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Spain, right.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Fucking on in Seville on the Saturday. We're like sure,
now we know why the airbnb was so expensive, right yeah, yeah, yeah,
Like there were thousands of fans, so the capacity of
the stadium sixty thousand people. But it was like all
of the Barcelona fans were congregated outside our airbnb and

(07:47):
they were all like Mark, like singing down below, like
there was flares, firecrackers going on outside our airbb. We
were watching from the balcony. It was all real. It
was so so cool and we were like Jesus, there's
loads of Barcelona fans here, like Real Madrid must be
really outnumbered. But you know the thing about Real like

(08:08):
Real Madrid is the team with all the money, and
then Barcelona is like you know the other side of
the fence, like yeah, they wanted to independent from Spain
and the real difference in like the you could visibly
see the stereotype like monster Leinster, literally literally Monster Leinster,
and like we crossed over then too, the kind of

(08:29):
another neighborhood. And then we found all the real Madrid
fans and we were like, oh my god, it was
just so so cool just to see it was like
we all said, it was like one of the highlights
of the weekend, like being there for that match, and
like then the match was unreal and we watched it
kind of on the street and with the other fans.
Oh it was. It was an amazing.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Only you would land your like land in that scenario,
like only like anybody not. And you know, do you
know what's double coincidental is that had lived Liverpool. You decided,
you know what, girls fuck were sticking with Liverpool. Let's
go to Liverpool. Liverpool won the Premiership the week that
would have been karenon as Well's so true.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I know these things follow us around or follow me around.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's so funny, that's just it.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, I was so tempted. Right, So we're up on
our on our balcony and like ever so often people
would see us and they'd wave toss and like these
are all like soccer kind of hooligans, and it starts
to get a little bit rough, and then these guys
are covered tattoos and shaved heads come in and they
start kind of mash pits and stuff. So it's it
was again kind of rowdy. I was like, I would
love to flash my boobs at these people.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
A New Orleans style.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I imagine imagine the reaction. I was like,
I was like I can't, Like, you know, someone will
take a video and it will go viral and you know,
people kind of talking about it, and so I was like, no.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, no, what's way for you is to moon somebody?
I think it's to moon.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I agree, mooning is funnier. We're actually talking about talking
about this with somebody. Are mooning is really funny. Flashing
your willie is like, is actually incriminating. Flashing your boobs
like you have so much power, Like you could actually

(10:26):
have the whole street like cheering for you, like waiting
for you. You're like you could you could put up
your like revolute number and people would send you money
and then and like and then you just you're like
you flash your group and they'd be like like it
would be the highlight of their.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Day, isn't it funny? Like the double standards where you're like, yeah, jail,
you go to jail, or you become a fucking hero
one or the other life. Yeah, well, I'm sure there's
plenty of chobbies fellows that could have gotten the knockers
out too, Like you know what I mean, there's there's
you see a lot of them. It does does those

(11:05):
warm weather mid matches where there's just big fat leads
and big old knockers on them going, yeah, you're not
getting any only fans money. I'm sorry, you never know what.
I apologize. My week was even we didn't we weren't
even in contact. It was insanity, Like it was absolute insanity.

(11:26):
I'm I'm on the trailer ticket ticket selling, so I
had to do I hadn't do your other podcasts. I'm sorry,
but yeah, I know, I I to go and do
one called the Talking Bollocks Podcast. Honestly, it's you know,
like we are, we're old, I think, because it's fucking huge, huge,

(11:50):
they're about to sell out the board gosh for like, yeah,
these two lads terrible nized fellas Calvin and Terry. They
were based in Dublin, and yeah, it was just a
good out cracking a podcast. Then two nights in dun Garden,
not one, but two nights in Dungarven with the great
and powerful Emma Dorn and yeah, Ma's class. And what

(12:13):
was great is we're we've been friends for so long
that what we do. What we did that was our
third gig in a row, in in a in in
a week basically, but we sat down the first night
in the day we shaped some of her new jokes,
and then the second, the first show in don Garden,
we shaped, we tightened it up more. And then it
was class to see them all coming to fruition. They

(12:34):
were they were all getting in the right order and
sinking in nicely and just the bord play was in
the right place and the inflections are in the right place,
and it was it was just like like whatever about
the audience. I was on the side like and m
it was like class, like you know, the two. It
was like class that worked. And then I went immediately
the following day to do the two Johnny's podcast and yeah,

(12:56):
I did a gig Friday night. I can't even tell
you where I don't. Don't you know where I did it?
I was trying to think before we went live, and
I'm like, I don't know where I was. I went
to football training with the kids to follow morning, and
by all accounts because we had ardo handon in the
hill that night Saturday night, and a couple of people
had been at the train and the kids train, and

(13:16):
they were at the gig and they were like you,
you looked like a husk of a human at the
side of the pitch.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
You normally you're quite shirpy and your help out and
stuff like that, and just a ball rolled past you
one stage and it was like an.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
In my my legs looking at me. You want to
sit the car that you want to just to sit
this one out, drive home to leave them there. But yeah,
it was that was that. That was the week. And
combined with it, you know yourself, a bunch of other stuff,
answering emails of people who you want to put your
head through the screen kind of thing. But and it

(13:55):
was would have been a great week for a podcast
talking about well it's gone pass now the monster scenario
where we talked about referees and stuff. But we can
give it, give it we can give it a bit
of a chat in a while. Heartbreak for the women
at the weekend, and news has come through the dirty
wall is going to be out for a while, a
good long one. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, disaster and

(14:20):
un like like game changers are the player like.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah. It's funny because because I was kind of
just I tried to disengage from it for the weekend,
you know, like to spend time kind of switched off
from rugby, And every time I looked at a result,
I was like what the fuck, Like it was just
so bizarre all the results that were coming in some

(14:46):
monster last Leinster lost, Ireland lost, and then England won
by one point and La Rochelle won. So I was
literally every time I looked at the results, I was like,
holy shit. And the girl's been like what's happen? I'm like, oh,

(15:07):
never mind, never mind. So yeah, fucking crazy weekend of
rugby and and things, and I just I can't believe
we didn't preview it. I can't believe we didn't get
to chat about it last week. But you're lucky, like
you say, these fucking too much life going on. So oh,
I can't believe now it's just so disappointing for the girls,

(15:29):
especially there was a few injuries that blocked up. Like
first of all, we spoke about Aaron King a few
weeks ago, but like to have her out and for
the World Cup is just terrible news. And now to
have Darthy Wall also out for the World Cup is
awful news. Obviously they were missing you away for the weekend.

(15:50):
She she'll be okay though, thank fuck. But I was
thinking that I was thinking like if we lost Jeeper,
like about there now certain players, If we lose certain players,
it's a massive blow and that has already come to fruition,
Like that's already been proven now with the loss of Scotland,

(16:12):
because if you think about it, if it's if it
was Ireland at their best, they shouldn't be losing to Scotland.
Like I think they had already tried to kind of
distanced themselves between the bottom three. H Ireland were kind
of like feeling as if they could nab France at

(16:34):
the World Cup, and now after that result, it's just
it just kind of puts everything back, Like if you
would if we'd finished the tournament like by with another
convincing win over Scotland. We'd be going into this World
Cup like fucking, let's.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Go with a bounce. You definitely would be going in
with a bounce.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah. Well, now, so there's a warm up game against
Scotland and then a warm up game against is it Australia.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I think I'm just looking I'm trying to look it
up here now, but I keep on, I keep on
reading the injury, which shouldn't be doing.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Picture of Doro crying, my god, it's awful. But they've Japan.
Japan is the first game, Spain is the second game,
and then New Zealand is a third game. So what
should be thinking is like, right, they'll have Japan in
Spain in the bag after that Scotland loss. That is
not what it feels like, because Spain has been known

(17:37):
to knock you off your horse. Japan are able to
produce like they should, this is it, they should like
beat these teams. But Japan are tough as nails, like
they've nearly beat us in the twenty seventeen World Cup
when the kind of difference in standard would have been
deemed around the same, like we would have considered ourselves

(17:58):
a lot better than Japan. And then we nearly fucking
lost to them. I'll never forget that I was on
the bench that day and didn't get on. It was
probably the lowest point of my career actually, that Japan game.
But what was that going to leave me to say? Then?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Is that.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Thinking? I was thinking about the Men's World Cup as well,
and also the point that I've just made there about
the lack of strength and depth, like you're gonna have
to rotate your team a lot or else you'll be
bollocks by the time, maybe not by the time New
Zealand comes around, but then by the time definitely a
quarterfinal comes around.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, so ran around energy ways for sure.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Absolutely, So what do you do. Do you do like
Ireland Men's did and play your full strength for Japan,
Spain and then New Zealand so that they're prepped for
New Zealand, Or do you try and fucking balance it
out so your strongest team kind of doesn't really get
too much of a runout before New Zealand And like
if the potential quarter final, then so if Ireland either

(19:07):
they come top of the pool or they come second,
that's that's what they're aiming for. Now they've got they
can name for second, because they don't have to beat
New Zealand. The reality is the other draw is France
or Italy, and Italy nearly fucking beat France a few
weeks ago, so they feel like they're within touching distance

(19:27):
of France and they definitely feel like they can beat Italy.
But the question now is keeping the strength and the squad.
That's that's their biggest challenge now. But I think Beaman
has done a good job of it up till now.
I just they're gonna have to fill that gap between

(19:48):
like the top and then the rest like pretty fucking
well over the summer.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I mean, what how many matches did you say? They had?
The three matches before? Only three?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh? I thought it was two? Are you seeing three?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
D I know I'm after reading it, think about reading
the tice Jesus, Like that's tough to get somebody up
to speed. I mean, the club Rugby is wrapped up,
like do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Like I wrote in my Independent column today what should
be on Saturday about like the possibility of like an
emergency enterprise, Like.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Jeez, that's a great idea. That's a great idea. It
was a railway one one not actually won the A.
I l yeah, no ul Bows one. What they were
playing Railway there? Wouldn't they were?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
They were because I was listening.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I was listening to chat about cantarp and watch it
the way they were, didn't they? Even when I was driving,
I was like, do you well boat maybe maybe Railway one.
Maybe I'm totally wrong.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
So but.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
So, yeah, that's a great that's a great idea. Jesus. Yeah,
because that's then it's a trial. It's a fucking trial
now at that stage because literally you're hoping for goal
to step out, you know what I mean, a diamond
to pop up in the middle of it, because you
sure you do have you know, you've got to replace.
You've got to replace at least two girls anyway, and
through unbelievable players. So Jesus, yeah, that's a that's a

(21:15):
banging idea.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, they won't listen to I've heard, like I've heard
that already, like the Enterprise there needs to be something
non during the summer, but they won't listen to that.
They literally just work away in their own time. So
they're still using the Celtic Challenge like to to prepare
the players. Like so yeah, I'd love it. You know,

(21:37):
what do you have you ever read? Have you ever read?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
You?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Saying Both's autobiography. No very strange book actually, but I
actually really enjoyed it. But he said, you know, Jamaica
gets a rap because there have been like athletes that
have tested positive for substance abuse and things. And he's like,
so everyon gets branded with the same brush. But people
people don't know what it's like being from Jamaica and

(22:02):
growing up with athletics because there's an athletics competition once
a year for schools. Is it schools or is it clubs?
I'm not sure, it doesn't matter. It is like the
pinnacle of the year for Jamaican people, Like it is
like the you know, it's like the All Ireland. It

(22:24):
is the biggest thing, Like everyone is there representing like
your family and stuff. Makes makes people so proud, like
it's just a massive, massive event. He's like, that is
like that holy grail of Jamaican sports is what produces
the number of Olympic athletes for Jamaica. And it was
such a great point, but it's you know, you see
it with.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
South African schools like yeah, you know, like this homegrown
domestic like driving each other to get the best out
of each other, like domestically, there's nothing that can replace that.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
It needs to I think it needs to be done
in the ail. The ail is done now, so like
your best next option is fucking doing an enterprise round
and everyone up and be like, right man, We're gonna
do an enterprise in July. Short, sharp, fucking get everyone
like going for each other game time, like literally like
an open try for journey.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
For the world. That's that literally answers the question now
because you're there. I'm not saying here in crisis mode,
but you kind of are, like you know what I mean.
It's because it's not like Ireland Men's because the enterprise,
you know, the the the club scene is on the
goal all the time. Like so you have a fair
idea who who's in next? You know what I mean?
You have a fair idea who's in next? I you

(23:45):
couldn't possibly think that that's the case for the women
they did, they don't fully know like the like the
outliers or the outliers like, so Jesus, that's brilliant. That's
a great idea.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I don't know if you've seen this, maybe not but
because I'd follow a good bit of Australian like rugby
stuff and everything. But do you know state of origin?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah? I actually have a state of origin Jersey somewhere.
Oh yeah, given to me by a fellow used to
work with who almost had no notes from playing in
rugby league.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Oh fucking yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
He was a hard piece of stuff, this folk lovely,
lovely man, but made of steel.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Well have you have you been to Australia for.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
No, I would love to go.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
We were there myself and from actually listening against of
origin so funny because it's New South Wales versus Queensland,
isn't that what it is?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
The two provinces there next to each other on the
on the west east East coast of Australia, And like
the support for it is so funny, Like we from
I thought it was just so funny, like the caliber
of people that were supporting. I'm sure we've actually spoken
about on this podcast before, but they've introduced a women's

(25:04):
NRLW in the last couple of years, like a women's
state of origin, and it looks absolutely class like they've
just whoever is in charge of rugby over here you
need to pick up the phone and call NRLW and
be like, lads, how did you do it? Or how
are you doing it? Give us some tips because it
is so it looks unreal. And all of the comments,

(25:26):
like so many of the comments were saying it's better
than the men's like there's a little bit more rugby
being played, you know.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Because the men's like rugby seems to be secondary sometimes
like oh you're out to kill each other?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I see, yeah, yeah exactly, And people say that about
women's rugby union as well. There's a little less kicking
and a little more play, so a lot of people
will enjoy it more. And then obviously you've got to
fucking toenails. There was a tonail that was like yeah,
but have this idium was funnel with bus loads of kids.
It's like, yeah, how do you think you fucking grow

(26:00):
the game? You mark?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I just literally watched watched ten seconds, ten seconds on
my phone there and it was class class.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's class. They're they're grown. An unbelievable product there,
Like that'll be sold out in a couple of years,
like for sure, but like a state of argin, like
an Irish state of Argin. Actually there was a conversation
during the week and I know that you see it.
They do the same thing in Wales. They have like
a one day competition in the principality where all the

(26:33):
clubs play off against each other or something, and people
were saying, couldn't they do that in the u RC
at Christmas get all four provinces into Kroke Park and
play two games, play the two games.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
That'd be amazing, that would be that'd be class.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, like a state of origin. We don't make enough
of the home provinces.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Do you know what that's? That is? But that's an
Irish trait anyway, I'm not making enough of the scenario,
you know what I mean? Oh no, Jesus, I wouldn't
be doing that. Now You're like, celebrate they live in
the Jesus. People want the product you have, just don't
be shy about giving it to them. Like shine it up,
put a big boone on it and fucking give it
to people. And that's a great idea as a package,

(27:17):
rather than just letting it be a standalone thing. Do
you know, Well, look at you are, where you are.
That's the end of it. No, let's make an unbelievable
occasion you know, I'm not making a fucking circus of
it either, like we don't need cheerleaders and stuff like that.
But at the same time, like that's a brilliant idea,
is to have a full once and it's gonna be
a like cause is part of a big event and

(27:41):
it could become like, you know, a state of origin thing,
Like it's gonna be a like they're gonna knock the
bollocks off each other, Like it's gonna be class if
you could do that. But adding more games, that's the
only thing, adding more games to to uspose an already
packed season. It's kind of a tricky thing. But I

(28:01):
as far as your idea for the now, for the
state of are you thinking for the state of orgin
for the women? Are you what way you splitting it?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Then?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Like who who are the two teams? Are you going
to have the four teams in a in a duke
duke it out?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Like I mean, you could do Wolfhounds and Clovers, which
is the team for the Celty Challenge, But no, like
why not just have the four teams? You know, maybe
it does make more sense because because you dilute it
more when you open up to the four teams, so

(28:35):
maybe you could just keep it as like Wolfhounds Clovers,
but it's less personal for people then, do you know,
whereas if it's like the provinces, you'd get people out
to watch it. You know. Let's say you had like
the four the two games on the same day and
just like a couple of weeks of it you could do.
You could do two weekends of it even, you know,

(28:57):
and yeah, make a big thing of it like fireworks, bust,
loads of kids, summer festival.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I love it could Actually there's so much potential behind that,
Jesus Christ. And on top of that, I mean it's
it is kind of an emergency state at this stage.
We need to have a we need to have a
look see to see you see who we got? It was? Yeah,
it was. I will say though, like there were moments

(29:30):
where you're like, oh, Ireland are a fucking class team,
Like who is the track back? After the intercept? Who
was at the track back? Was it Neive Higgins?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Uh? Eve?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I think yeah, oh my god, Like yeah, just like
I'm not saying that most players give up, but like
clear players, you know, you back off a small but
sometimes when you just don't have it in the legs,
Christ above what a fucking tackle? Want to try and
say absolute out and no out of a tackle, like
to run eighty meters and to get back out Like

(30:05):
it was annoying that they shot themselves in the foot
for whatever reason. But I'm assuming, you know it possibly
a fitness thing at that stage to our tiredness thing
at that stage. I don't know why they were, like,
have you a reason why they went down to Scotland
when they had to fuck beating them and beaten them?
Well if they wanted, yeah, they were.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm trying to think of a different thing, different things,
and I can't exactly say that it is one of
the or the other. I'm wondering was there complacency at
play because they felt like they had with the campaign
they had, they felt like they for sure had Scotland
in the bag, so you end up kind of playing

(30:47):
with a little less fear, and then because they were
missing a lot of tackles, and when you're playing with
kind of fear and urgency, you don't be missing tackles
like that. I thought was that was the one thing
that I was like, why are they misintactles? Because I
don't maybe they was fatigue. It played as well maybe
you know, they didn't have home advantage, that didn't matter

(31:10):
for the other two fixtures, but as well, like they
just couldn't like convert. Maybe Scotland were just coming up
with kind of too many answers to what they were
thrown at them, but they couldn't convert. Like during the
yellow card they didn't get anything like Scotland had. Scotland
were the ones Scotland actually got a try they or

(31:32):
they were at least pushing for a tride, you know,
they did. Actually Scotland got a try while they had
yellow Well they had fourteen players, you know, like that's
kind of game management stuff. So some good valuable lessons
in there. Just takes a huge shine off the campaign.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I suppose on a personal level you would say, okay,
it takes a shine you know, on a grand scale
of things that would take take the shine off. But
I feel that they are they're they're not that, you
know what I mean. They they're above they're maybe they're
not above that, maybe that's the wrong phrase, but they're
they could probably because there's such a level of professionalism
and such athletes there now, they could probably take it

(32:14):
for what it is you fucked up, like because you had,
you have the skills to be beating the lights of Scotland.
And in a lot of ways, sometimes there's no harm
to get a slap in the arts like that, because
if they ran roughshot over fucking Scotland, yes, there'd be
a nice bounce going on into the into the warm
ups and then into the World Cup. But often, often,

(32:38):
fucking sometimes you go back into the workshop and you
have sharpened the fucking saw, you know what I mean,
You're like, oh Jesus Christ, see what happened there? Now
girls who took a crye off the fucking ball, and
we'll do the same against Spain if we're not careful.
I'm just trying to take take a positive look, and
I feel that the days of that kind of fucking
carry on, you know, being you know, you know, crying

(33:00):
on into your fucking boots because it doesn't look good
what you just did. It fucking looks great what they did,
Like they've turned that team around the last two years.
I'd hope that I'd like to think that they're professional
enough at this stage to go right park that ship
and know what we did wrong and fucking you know
if it if it is a mental thing, then absolutely

(33:22):
never let that in again, especially with a World Cup.
You're looking at the bartle of a fucking World Cup.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Like I do think Scott beamond Is is good at
managing this, so yeah, I think it's the thing is
we like we don't know. We don't know now, like
we won't know until the the end of September if
they learned from this match or note, yeah, you know,

(33:47):
because there'll be the warm up games and then there's
the actual World Cup where literally, to be honest, like
all bets are off when when the World Cup comes around,
So we won't know until the post World Cup what
this six nations will have meant.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Very true, very true. I mean, well, in the pool
stage they run if they run ragged over all three
and they beat New Zealand as well, you were like,
fucking something worked. Something definitely is working.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yea, yeah, yeah, that's true true And our Bannon Barr's
Rugby Player of the Year for twenty four is up
for a Player of the Tournament again, so make sure
you get voted.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Of course, they love her on the commons too, like
they love her like every time she takes the ball.
It's you know, they go up and octave.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
She had the most carries out of everyone in six
nations and she didn't even play that last game.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
What the fuck that sounds. That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
That is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's like it is just give me the ball, like
and and they absolutely love her on comps because it's
like every time she takes off, they actually, you know,
it's like they're expected. It's that John of Loman moment.
It's like, here we go, she's going to beat one anyway,
She's going to be two maybe and just make it
difficult for anybody else trying to put her hand on
her like it's yeah, a classic shout out to Fish.

(35:09):
She does listen to the podcast, which is cool as hell.
I'm I'm I'm looking glass half full after this campaign.
Yeah you're saying, yeah, cool, cool, Yeah, all right, we'll
rip the band off and we'll just we'll have a
quick look at monster.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Fill me in.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, Yeah, it made no sense, That's what I'll feel
you in on. It made no fucking sense at all. Okay,
so the previous week with it's done, Now every podcast
under the planet has talked to the fucking death monster
going down a man incorrectly for fourteen minutes. Again again
on the same fucking thing that happened against Leinster. They

(35:53):
got down for four Now was it the losing in
the match? Maybe maybe not. Some say that you know,
they started.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Playing someone question the referee.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
They did well, Nila Dunovan was on the sideline, go
fucking ape shit with an iPad out, showing them the
rules to the touch judge and they're faffing back and forth.
He just throws his hand up in the year if
and I'm not joking you, I don't know why everybody's
afraid of some imaginary schoolmaster in that scenario. Put the
fucking ball down and walk the all fifteen all fourteen.

(36:28):
You walk off until you get this sorted. This is happening.
The UYRC has promised us this will never happen again.
After the Leinster instant, walk the fuck off and not
play another second until this assorted like it was an
incorrect call and to play on and go. Well, you know,
fucking daddy says we have to play. Fuck at that.
I mean like it's a it's a scandal, like it's.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I feel like as a player, you're right as a player,
you're kind of like what like you do need to
kind of look at the rules in front of you,
so it needs to be guided from the sidelines. So
would you're right? Yet he should have told the players.
You want to be like one hundred percent certain that
you were completely in the right and you've understood all
of the kind of things leading to us. But uh,

(37:13):
when you know what was supposed to happen, Well, yeah,
why didn't he say to the players, No, it's not Yeah,
you're right to put the ball down.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Said no, no, it's got, it's gotten. The silliness has gotten.
And I mean you are one hundred going to be vilified.
One going to be vilified because the u RC promised
that this would never happen again after it happened against
Leinster where they went down down to forty men incorrectly
for four minutes. They promised them, and now it's just

(37:42):
fucking happened again. Now whatever, Okay, the ref I'm not
a big fan of him. His anyway, My god, the
bollocks loves to talk.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
But I'm sorry, sorry, finished there.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yes, but give him his duties, Like you know, it's
a pressure scenario. He's probably reliant on the backroom staff
to make a call on it, you know they and
they don't. Literally they have fucking googled the same as
the rest of us, like google it.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
Okay, there's four referees, the two lads and the touch
like touch judges, no balls anyway, so afraid to call
stuff like obviously it depends on the league with an
arly here, but like, lads, you can just go home because.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
You're I'd love to see how ignorant you would get
with touch judges.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Oh my god, like giving you the wrong you know,
off sideline and then penalizing you for it. It's like
he yeah, it's the off sideline anyway. Look, but there's
two touches, is fine, they can't take their phone out
and check it. But there's someone sitting up in a box,
and then there's another one.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Isn't there a fish? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
So the two ones that are sitting down like serior
to the you know, not running around. How could they
have let that happen for so long? One minute? Two minutes?
And I don't fully blame the referee because I do
think no, yeah, really hard, but I'm sorry now the
two lads who let it go on for so long

(39:18):
that is, that's very bad.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Donovan had an iPad out in front of him, going,
there's the roots. Now, if if somebody gets a fucking
bad head knock or they're they're panned out on the pitch,
they'll stop the game, no matter what's happened, they'll stop
the game. Whoa, whoa wo and they'll start again with
a free kick or a scroll or whatever. That's the
time to go, stop the fucking match. We have a
bit of a discrepancy here. I'm sorry, stop it. Whoever

(39:41):
has the ball gets to fucking gets a free kick
when they were zoom. But this has gone for you know,
But anyway, I mean, we're you know, it is what
it is. It's it was. It was a cruel fucking
game or whatever. And you know, you can feel you
can feel fairly aggrieved if you're a monster. But going
up against Cardiff at the weekend, I can't work it out.

(40:03):
They had these moments of magic, incredible fucking incredible play
and then for some reason they would just take the
foot off the throttle again. Now they I think a
couple of teams have their number at the breakdown. They're
starting to dirty the ball and stuff like that, but
Jesus Christ, you know, also there the fucking lineout shambles again,

(40:26):
like just not as shambalic, but still a shambles. It
doesn't make any sense how it's just fallen apart so
badly because their lineup coach has gone to work with Ireland.
I think, like it's it doesn't make any fucking sense.
But I guess that they just kept u giving Cardiff
seemed to have a lot more motivation in the fight,

(40:48):
you know, and they kept on giving them a crack
of light to come after it, like they were winning
in the seventy eight minute, and yet they still ended
up losing. It's it was very vexing. They have the
players that are far superior than Cardiff. But and now
here's the thing. It has all the signs of no

(41:09):
head coach. And that's nothing. That's not making an excuse
for it. But it has all the fucking science. The
components are all there, but they ain't all pulling in
the right direction. You can see they're not. But like
I said, at times they looked fucking incredible. They were
cutting them apart and then they would just take the
foot out of the gas and let them back into
the game, do you know, with almost in them like

(41:32):
a monster. Seemed to play emotionally one or the other,
and I think I think their season ended beaten ler Shell.
That's what it looks like to me.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yea unfortunately, and then they were so disappointed against Bordeaux.
Then to turn around and be like, okay, we've to
finish the Orc now, even though we have no coach
and we know our coach is coming in, Like is
there a kind of a feeling of like, oh, it
just gets fucking season done with so we can actually
start afresh and kind of get on with it.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it's look
that's what it looks like. Do we know, No, we don't,
but that's what it looks like from the outside in.
A couple of players just seem to just want to
take the game by the scruff of the neck, and
there doesn't seem to be an impetus given to the
rest of the players just go yeah, do you know what,
let's fucking go. Like Tom Farrell is still busting tackles,

(42:23):
Like Nankeville is still busting tackles in the middle of
the field, breaking lights. It's setting them on their back
on their heels, and they don't seem to be capitalizing
on that. Like if all you did was come in
and did something great, Casey comes ripping in, you've got
him on their heels. Okay, don't put it through dance,
Just fucking put it over the top and into the corner.
You know you've killed them, like you're killing them by
punching them, keeping them in their own corner. But now

(42:46):
the lineouts are so fucking so shaky that no team
fears the lineup now against Munster, Like, all right, you
kick it into the corner, so let's see what happens.
But it does? It does it? It bangs a little
at that what you're talking talking about, Like, yeah, this is christ.
Let's get this thing fucking wrapped up a couple of
in one or two one in particular, what should I say,

(43:11):
shining lights. And the thing I was very excited by
is this chap that's come from Leinster. Michael Milner. Have
you seen have you seen him? Holy holy shit? Leinster
were hiding this villa and I wouldn't have been letting
him go. He can He's built like a fucking like

(43:32):
the incredible Hulk, Michael. He's young. He's very young from
what he looked young and here for a prop and
I mean.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
They typically did you play under twenties or thing? For who?
For Ireland?

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Oh, I'd say so, like he's let's just see what
age you see like a million age? He's twenty six.
Oh he's like okay, right, So he went to No.
I don't know where he's from, but he went to
he went to Ross Gray, right, So I mean that's

(44:11):
that's good.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Twenty six years old. I did he play senior ai
L or anything like Jesus, that's.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
He must have. He must have had. He's from awfully
but he he like he he looks at him. Every
time he got the ball, his fellow was laying down
a fucking marker. Everybody was getting hurt. It was really
and the comment What was so weird is the commentary
wasn't making any comment about it. Like he was making
yards and hurting people every time he took off and

(44:45):
wanted the ball, like he took a gammy pass at
one stage and it went and it while being tackled
and he still managed to kind of catch it around
his back drive forward hand off and make another five
or six meters like he he looked proper motivated, like
and I mean I personally if I was, you know,
a stalwart on the team and looked at that, going

(45:06):
is the new guy. There's two ways to look at
the gun. Who your man thinking is kind of a
thing or this the new guy is breaking his hole
here where we have to get in after this? Like
do you know? Well, maybe they were and there just
isn't the proper game plan in place for how they're
fucking how they're going to string a string a full
game together. It was very, very strange how disjointed a

(45:30):
team of very good players seem to look the other night.
Couldn't put my finger on it, it was at all.
Couldn't put my finger on anything great in spots, but
kept on letting Cardiff back into it. Four G pitch
doesn't seem to suit him, which is kind of worrying.
They're going to play bennett On on a four G pitch,

(45:51):
which I can't believe I'm saying that out loud, that
there there'll be a bit of a worry against Bennett.
Bennett On, well, bennett On are decent these days, but
at the same time, going what the fuck is happening?
Like Munster mightn't make Europe next year.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Oh no, that's a that's that's.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Not great, not when you've got at least got to
the quarterfinal. Do you know what I mean? What w
tf is going on?

Speaker 1 (46:21):
Yeah, that would be very disappointing. They need to sort
their ship out. But there was an there was an
article I'm not sure which outlet the other day about
like basically Irish rugby is destroying like the provinces.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
It's all, but it's it's always the way in any
business or anything. It's always the way. Like if you
have industrial farming, shall we say this is my roundabout metaphor, right,
but industrial farming has ruined America, right, it's ruined. It's
ruined small time America, small town America, because what you

(47:00):
had in small town America was agri was the basis
of all employment. And people ead have worked in fixing tractors,
making me, making feed. Do you know that all the
jobs that spin off agri some which way and everybody's
employed by that, And that's one way or another. Maybe
you were just teaching farmers' kids, maybe there was somebody,

(47:22):
But then industrial farming came in and huge, huge landowning
companies would just come in and buy up suaedes of
land and now they would import from maybe their own
hube things like you know, grain, things like seed, fertilizers,
and now all of those jobs started to go away.
So when something like I suppose that what Ireland is

(47:44):
do some kind of a long way, I'll fucking explain this,
but I'm doing this for myself. What Ireland is is
the it's never like like the hunger is never said
it with Ireland like and it can't be like it
has to company keep feeding the animal. And what will
happen as a result of that is only the strong

(48:06):
coming out of the provinces will make the animal. I e.
Leinster players, that's all. That's that's all it will ever happen,
Like when there's no holistic look kind of going who
not saying we've got to put token players in there.
But in the long term lasts, we can't be singing
this tune to only one quarter of the country. It

(48:27):
is the national team, after all, we need to start
fucking putting money into the lesser probably you know, the
weaker provinces. Like that's just the way it is, or
will end up with just a Leinster team playing for
Arland and it'll drop off. The interest will fucking drop
off as a result of that because some kid and
do you know, West Claire isn't looking at Leinster gone class,

(48:50):
do you know what I mean? And never will. So
I went a long way around agreeing with you there.
I don't know why I did that, but it for
some reason.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
It's good to have analogies to to all our farmer listeners.
I hope they understand our shruggy dynamics a little bit better.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Now, Well, look we do have a few a few farmers,
all right, we do. We definitely do. Actually, there's not
even a there's not that's not even a mystery. We
definitely shout out to all the cultures fair play. It
would be yeah, it would be great. It would be
great if Humphreys is supposed to be balancing the book

(49:29):
some which way.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
But still the legacy of the leftover legacy of the
previous regime, I think so, And how how is it
being managed? The thing is, the Lensor school system is
still there and still stronger than ours, the Leinster school system.
How much I feel like the Leinster school system was

(49:54):
always better than the Monster one, For example, like.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Of course it was. Of course, of course it was.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Even when Monster were better than Leinster.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I think I think what Monster had we're spinning off
the back of there was I was, and I've thought
about this on many of the long journey. I think
what we were spinning off is hence the edge you
had on that too, because there doesn't seem to be
any nasty characters in the Monster, not that you need them,
but there's no harm. We had a lot of violent

(50:24):
individuals like that set you know, set the stall out
in what it is to be a Monster player, and
they were coming off hugely successful ail Monster based ail teams,
you know what I mean, Like it was do you
know it was tribal warfare and limerick for the longest
time between the likes of Shannon and Young Monster and

(50:44):
stuff like that and carry on, and then of course.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
You do mhm discussing this only recently we were scussing
it in terms of the French.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Yes we were, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, way of doing it as well. But fuck, I'd
love to get to get that back, like the the globe,
the state of origin, the fucking Jamaican athletics running.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and by all account. By all accounts,
the Conversus Cantarf game. I had a good crowded it
the other day. But of course they were all fucking cruel.
They were all on the side that the TV cameras
were filming from, like thousands and there was only five
hundred on the other side. Yes, so it looked like

(51:29):
there was five hundred people at the match, but there
was literally a few thousands at the match, but they
were all sitting behind where they can.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Like Jesus, it was cool to have that the one
half the men's and women's on the same day, Like
that's a great occasion for people to come and watch.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Like that needs to be.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Made more of I think so. And that's when I
when I listened to that. It was Johnny Holland talking
about and he said it was killer, like you know,
just that it was what it was. But you're kind
of going, but what the problem is there is there's
no there's no financial support for it. Put a fucking
camera on the other side of the pitch. Let's hire

(52:10):
one hundred and fifty or a fucking two hundred your
camera and put a fucking two hundred your camera man
behind the fucking thing for the game please for the
two games, please, if you wouldn't mind, Jesus Christ, can
we show some perspective here, like like it doesn't take
a fucking you don't need Martin SCORSESEI to set up
that scene, like bring more than one fucking camera, would you?

(52:31):
Lads just saying they're cheap, they're cheap these days, they're
really cheap. But again it comes down to a want
to show these to showcase these things, like and it
seems so many people are saying all the right things,
but it doesn't seem to fall in place. As for

(52:51):
I suppose Leinster March forward they play my phone is
obsessed with your man Henry Pollock, that the kid playing
for for Northampton right now?

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Why do you so much content coming up with?

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Just never stop? And I don't stop on it for
very often. I've seen the clips, but it keeps on
showing me the same fucking clips like go over and
over again, like okay, all right, the kids here are
with from a week He does look like the man
are born and he loves he loves being a bit
of a villain. I think he's watched a lot of
the NFL. This guy like he's very un rugby, and
it's I don't really like him as a you know

(53:28):
from what I'm saying, but I really appreciate what he's
doing because he's he's he's putting eyes on and that's
a really good thing. Like he's getting eyes on him,
like which I think we we might need. I think
maybe a couple more mohawks or something in the Monster
team or something. Well what do we We talked about
our crowd hype and thing. What can we do? What

I am a fan of a mulus.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, overdown.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
It needs to be something completely new.

Maybe the reverse mullet TI back along at the front.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
No, what's a man born then, is it?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
I know that's just some weird set of curtains hanging
off your face. But and it was madness in my
my my part. I mean, I think mohawks they never
go away. Mohawks never go away. Like you'd look cool
in the mohawks, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Like, yeah, imagine Petermannium with a full on spiky mohawk.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
But his mohawk will be actually died into the shape
of a line of carrots from his garden.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yes, the corn corns.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
But actually painted in the color of corn.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Yeah, yes, I don't guess. Okay, right, well we'll send
it to Pete and see what he says.

you know, pelou pilo, you know the fellow comes out
and likely into the microphone peeoo plo. Do you know
that thing?

Speaker 2 (55:34):
I can't get. I I have gone down a rabbit
hole on that man and I can't work out the
significance of having him on the side of the feet
with no short on and he's face tattooed.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Traditional I see now is he there? If he's there
at the weekend, But I'd say he will be. That's
what we're playing on Sunday. So we're not like gun plane,
but like I'm going anyway, but we're we're leaving Jesus Christ.
I actually on top of everything now. I can do
without as fuck and trip to Julan. We leave at
five forty five am Saturday.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
We stop in to lose for our captain's run and
for lunch around one or two o'clock, and then we
get back on the road to Tulan that evening. Right,
So we spent all day in the bus Saturday because
the game is on in my all Like usually for
a long away trip like that, you'd play at midday
that you can get back on the road as soon
as possible. But because they're making an occasion of this,

(56:29):
we're not playing until three pm on Sunday, meaning that
we don't depart a little bit later. We will arrive
back in Larachelle at seven am on Monday morning and
I work at nine. Oh life, god, I actually can't cope.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Have you got I mean, you're the travel queen. Sure
you got to get the eye cover thing, the nick pillar?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Actually does it doesn't? It doesn't. You could literally have
a team of professional missus dwarfs come with you and
bessas you to the whole thing. But a bus is
a fucking boss, and there's no sort of fucking philistine
should ever have to sleep on a bus like it's
It's horrific. You would always wake up with your neck

(57:23):
jet in some fucking way your hip is after fucking
Oh no, no, why Jesus, I feel sorry. I yeah,

Oh excellent, sounds way better.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Yeah, yeah, we're it's the first weekend. I'm taking off
off before the tour starts. I say that, but I'm
with dear Okay on Sunday night in Morterford. But the
tour starts the following week, and we have enough building
done for a minute now, So we're off to see
a man in kill Kenny has a reptile a reptile farm,

(58:11):
and he is some bitey lizards and he's got a
fucking crocodile. So we're off to see that. I'm quite
excited about that. To be honest, je n I've seen
alligators in the wild when I was in Florida, when
I lived in Florida. But yeah, oh Jesus Christ, then
fucking things.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
It sounds like tiger king vibes.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
No, this was just them, like some of them got loose.
Now you could, you could, there was a number that
you could ring and pest control, pest control like as
I fucking imagine ringing fucking rent icile here.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
I'm not talking about the alligators that live in the
wild in Florida, like they have the right there. Imagine
just going about yours calls pest control, and I'm talking
about this swelling. Kill Kenny with a cross, I'll be raging.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
If he doesn't have a mullet, I'll be raising just
walking around with a secret. I haven't while walking around
with a secret short and like a limp just gon't
care a basket bitch's just every so often. My name
is exactly Joe, and I'm gay. That's what he kept
on saying. It seemed to be in every sentence. I'm excited, Joe,

(59:18):
I have a load of alligators and tigers. And then
I mention, I'm gay.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Wow, I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Yeah, No, we're there'll be I'm very excited about it.
I'm very excited. But yeah, we're going to Yeah, and
we're going to where I have the comedy club three
sixty cookouts. So I would like to bring you there
sometime to try the food. Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus Christ,
it's that what we'd see. What we'll actually do is

(59:47):
sit at separate tables so that we don't have to
talk to each other and see each other eating, so
that we can just not judge and enjoy the food,
and then convene immediately afterwards over some tea coffee and
talk about the group. I think that's the way. That's
the way it should be done. Actually, it's way better.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah, okay, that sounds like a great plan.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Well I wish it's very best to look at the weekend.
I can only imagine the pain in your hole. Quite literally,
you'll go to Yeah, I don't know, can you take
a bunch of CBD jellys and just knock yourself out?
I don't know, it might CBD jelly's are good, get
yourself down strong and and yeah, anyway, they're really good.

(01:00:32):
For inflammation, so you won't have that sort of an urse.
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Would I end up like shutting myself on the box
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's
not It's not like the good high the wild Eye stuff. No,
you're not going to scour the bed. No, what will happen.
All it does is it turns off all all the
hot engines that are running in your head. Like so
if you're frightening the flying, or if you have you've
been going at a one hundred miles an hour for the week,
and you go, well, I don't want to drink just

(01:01:01):
to shut the shut down the demons. This puts everything in.
It's the nice side of weed without actually getting stoned
and being fucked up. It's just a nice part of
weed that makes you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Go there is not a CD shop around the corner
from me. Maybe I'll try I hit it up.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Tell me you want a sponsorship, just get hey, come on,
come at me, bro, I've got a twenty four hour
fucking bus journey to some other part of this god
forsaken frog eating country. Don't you dare tell me? Now?
Just saying that could be an approach you might have,
or you could say, hi, what's your your nicest best?
I'd suggest getting a gummy or the droplets are really good,

(01:01:42):
but they do taste like silich and how I know
that I have tasted salwich. It's like a country off,
who's more country time will always win, I'll always win. Okay,
well that's good minor road.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
It's the Banana and Bears rugby pod
