Why do Pat and Dick prefer tea over coffee and how does it set the tone for the episode?
The most important thing is that you have the opportunity to learn the language with the language that you have and that language is very important to the language you are learning. It's a very important thing when you're still learning a language. And I don't know how many more people will be able to learn it. But there's no doubt that there will be a lot of things that I will be able to do and I will do my best.
On the latest episode of Real Health with me, Carl Henry, we're chatting all things back pain, posture, and lots more with physio Mike Murphy.
There's definitely a bad posture to be stuck in all day. There's definitely positions that'll put pressure on my neck or other joints. You know, we like to think of our head, your head's about five kilos, and that's about a bowling ball. Okay, so if you imagine I have this bowling ball and I'm leaned forward, you know, 10 hours a day at the desk, you know, five, six days a week for 10 years, that's going to add up to a fair amount of strain or demand on my neck muscles.

I'm Michael Varney and welcome to the IndoGA podcast sponsored by AIB. AIB are proud sponsors of Club and County, proudly celebrating the joy, dedication and support that lies at the heart of Gaelic games in every community and player across the nation. Delighted to have Pat and Dick with me as always. And something that popped up, Pat, in conversation before we started to record I was chatting to Adam and Alana in studio there about coffee. And I says, I wonder does Spillane drink coffee? He doesn't need coffee. Are you a coffee drinker, Pat, or are you an old school tea man?
Yeah, tea, love tea. Never drank coffee in my life. But love the smell of coffee. Jesus, make that out. Love the smell of coffee around the house. Never drank coffee in my life. Tea, I drink tea for Ireland.
Good man, old school. Good pot of tea. Barry's tea. Go on, man. She's supporting the Cork audience as well. Dick,
I'd say you're a coffee man. I'm trying to think when I started drinking coffee. It must have been sometime around college when I started work because I never drank. Ah, will you stop? Coffee didn't exist when you were in college. Yeah, well, see, this is it. No, I drink too much. And I actually, when I'm traveling and working and all the rest, and you're drinking coffee just to be polite. We'll go for a coffee. I'll go for coffee. That's it. You go for coffee. So you have to drink the bloody thing. So just two years ago, I got a bit of a stomach reflux issue. And not to be too graphic, but the doctor said, too much coffee. He said, Dick, you're drinking too much coffee. You're drinking four or five coffees a day.
Four or
five a day, you mad
joe. Yeah, that's what I was up to at the stage. I said, that was grand. So I went the next day. I said, you know what, feck it. I'm just going to go cold turkey. I'm drinking too much coffee. I don't need it. I've never experienced anything like it.
I'd say that big bald head was banging.
It was unbelievable. I don't know if you've ever experienced it. And people listening might have tried this. By one o'clock... my head was thumping I couldn't even speak right I was I was on teams calls I couldn't concentrate I'd never experienced anything like it so
I had to go
back so I take two to three coffees before lunch and then that's it for the day so I'll have two I'll have two by about 11 o'clock and I have one here just this is my second one today and that gets me going through the day come on and a cup of tea a cup of tea when we're watching Traitors in the evening with a Kit Kat very good you're watching the former Leitrim player Yeah, it's quite good. Yeah, it's good. It's good family TV, which is hard to get these days, you know.
Good stuff, lads. That's a nice segue. Pat was odds on to be a tea drinker and
a tea drinker only. I thought
that. You were assert to be a coffee drinker. Lads, this morning, the All-Stars came out. We'll fly through them here. 12 different counties represented.
