It's quite hard to read poetry when Will Slattery has behaved the way he's behaved for the last hour towards me.

So I'm a little shaken here, but I'm hoping it's a kind room.

OK, so here's, I mean, I'll hand over to Patrick Cabinet to finish the podcast with a bit of aplomb.

Ahem.

We have tested and tasted too much, lover.

Through a chink too wide, there comes in no wonder.

But here in the advent-darkened room, where the dry black bread and the sugarless tea of penance will charm back the luxury of a child's soul.

Nicely delivered.

You might have to flick back through that.

You might have to go back 15 seconds and listen to that a few times.

But a bit of dry black bread, some sugarless tea, a bit of time in that darkened room, and then suddenly you might appreciate a World Cup final in the American eye, you know?

I think that's what he's trying to say.

And then he writes, similarly in GA, All-Ireland Final Day typically has a, this is Barry John now, not Patrick, haven't they?

All Our Own Final Day typically has a large section of neutral fans going for the occasion, mostly diehard GA fans, but it just lands differently as an atmosphere versus a piping hot day in Ennis.

2024, Clare versus Limerick on the terraces, not a phone in sight.

Everyone religiously watching a thriller.

I would actively encourage people to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and you won't be disappointed.

I've been at quite a few All-Ireland finals with them, the radio days we got in.

Yeah.

I thought they were always great atmospheres.
