But now, something for the ladies. Michael Bublé, you're very welcome. How are you? I'm really good, man. Can I be for the men too?
Michael Bublé 0:07
Would that be weird?
Brendan O'Connor 0:08
You can be for the men. It might be weird for the men, but it's not weird for me.
Michael Bublé 0:12
You can be for... Listen, I'm more like the men than they... I'm like them. I'm just a beer-drinking, sport-loving dork, so... Okay, okay, I see. Let's not put them out.
Brendan O'Connor 0:23
I like what you're doing there. You're showing the men that they can relate to you too. Okay.
Michael Bublé 0:28
They should relate to me.
Brendan O'Connor 0:29
All demographics. Well, yeah. Was Dean for just the women or Frank or Elvis? No, no, absolutely. OK, let's start again, right? And now something for the lads. Michael Bublé, you're very welcome. How are you?
Michael Bublé 0:45
Oh, man, you're fine. Great, Brendan. Nice to talk to you, bud. Nice to see you again.
Brendan O'Connor 0:50
Yeah, good to talk to you again. So, Michael, you're coming to Dublin, Limerick and Belfast at the end of June. And look, we all know that every artiste who comes to Ireland claims a special connection with Ireland. But I think you really do have, you've always had a special connection with Ireland, haven't you?
Michael Bublé 1:06
Well, let's be honest. Most of those other artists are just liars, really. All they're trying to do is tickets. Me, you know, it's just all the real... No, I think, look, 22 years, it's been something. It's been very deep and very rich, and I'm very excited to go back. And it's always nice, but nice to be reconnected again. I mean... Lots has changed in all our lives. And it's fun, you know, for me and my family to take the trip. And I don't do a lot of shows lately, especially. I haven't done much touring at all the last couple of years. And I probably won't be doing a ton coming up because I just, you know, I got little kids and I'm trying to, I just love being a dad. So it's special for me to come out and do these events.
Brendan O'Connor 1:54
So that's interesting. Your priorities are changing as you're getting a little bit older, are they?
Michael Bublé 2:00
No, they were always my priorities were always the same. I just think that I think my my mindset has changed. I think that I realize that I only have so much time in this life and I'll never get that time back, especially with, you know, I got my littlest is three and I just can't miss it, man. I just can't. It's just too much stuff happening every day.

What makes Michael Bublé feel connected to Ireland?

Michael Bublé 2:22
New words and little kisses in the middle of the night and sometimes some pee in the bed in the middle of the night. But even those things, dude, I don't want to miss. And so even these concerts that I'm doing, they're coming with me.
Brendan O'Connor 2:38
And do you find when you're on tour, do you pee in the bed as well? Or is it less so when you're in a hotel room?
Michael Bublé 2:43
No, I don't need to be on tour to pee in the bed. I'll just pee in the bed anywhere, depending on how many beers I have and how much time it takes to get up to use the bathroom.
Brendan O'Connor 2:54
I mean, really. Really? Who has time for that? So listen, your dad was away a lot, of course, wasn't he? When you were a kid, he was a commercial fisherman. Is that something that's on your mind? Was that hard for you as a kid?
Michael Bublé 3:08
You know, it was hard, Brendan, but also at the same time, I think it informed who I'd become as an adult. I think I had a lot of respect for my dad. I knew how hard it was for him to go, and I knew that he loved us a ton, but it also gave me a real... He inspired me, and I mean, it wasn't hard to look at him and his work ethic and appreciate that, you know? And I, you know, going out, and later in my life, going out there with him as a crewman on that commercial seining boat, you know, it really made me a better, It made me more appreciative. I think when I was lucky enough to find success and fame and all of that, I think that I understood that, you know, what I did was so easy compared to what he had done.
Michael Bublé 3:56
And so, you know, it's funny because you get off stage, Brandon, and, you know, people in my camp would say like, oh, my God, you worked so hard that And I would think to myself, I'd look at my little baby hands and I'd go like, like, these things are pretty soft.
