Ah, lads watching the football, like the lords of all creation. Ah, that's never a yellow. Game's gone. But who knows what the fates have in store for the 5.30 kick-off. That's why NoviBet are stepping in with an almighty offer that's built for the big games. Where customers can get up to €10 back as a free bet on losing bet builders on the biggest Premier League and Champions League matches every week. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you. This is an Irish independent podcast.
Now, welcome, everybody. Bits and Bobs on a Tuesday. Lots to get through, lots of emails, lots of interesting talking points. And we'll do it in the company of Mr. Dan MacDonald. Dan. Hi, Joe. And William Slattery is here as well, of course, Will. Hello, Joe. So we got lots to get through, lots of emails. How is everyone?
Good Joe. Very good.
Doing well. Good. Will said he's starting to enjoy his marathon training now after months of not enjoying it. It's a
cathartic montage certainly in kind of production at the moment that I feel like could be played at the end of it that I have slogging through the early stages now I'm starting to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and dare I say it's starting to get something
out of it. I could see it you know the shuffle the run it's pathetic his form is off but then...
This is the part of the movie that you speed through, though. They actually speed through this. It's the montage. This happens very quickly,
yeah. Key of any montage, obviously, is to make the mundane, difficult parts fun. But you've had
to
live
them. I'm low to talk about this much because no one wants to hear someone talk about running a marathon. But you did bring it up, so
I
feel okay on this occasion.
I brought it up. A couple of emails and then we'll get into talking points. We spoke to Andy Lee yesterday on the back of the Katie Taylor bonanza. Carl Curran said, geez, that guy's a treasure. I could listen to him all day. Great stuff. He was excellent. Andy Lee is brilliant. He did this great thing. He weaved his career in and out of Katie's experiences in the way that he can. And we are sleeping on the fact, I think, that he has ascended into a world-class coach, like would be regarded as one of the best coaches in the world. And he didn't reject that notion either. Humble guy, but he's like, yeah, no, I am. Because I've had this extraordinary education from Billy and Zora through to Emmanuel Stewart and Cronk Jim through to
Adam Booth. So, and I've been a world champion. So yeah, I'm, I'm good. Uh, so that's Andy Lee waiting for you in yesterday's feed. Genuinely great chat with him. One of the real soothing voices in podcast history, I feel.
Which listener emails are read and what topics do they raise?
He's a very calm presence, you know, just around him. The pace goes down a few notches, you know, he's that kind of in a good way. Um, Hi all. Having listened to last Thursday's bits and bobs, I felt compelled to email in out of concern for Joe's ongoing health issues. I've listened to a good number of shows since its inception. I would guess roughly 50% of them have had a stuffy, block-nosed Joe as host. Is there any reason he has the immune system of a 90-year-old? Surely there's a multivitamin brand that could sponsor the pod, and Joe specifically. Yours in concern. Ciarán. That's a
fair point. Did you used to get sick a lot before you had children and they were going to crash? No.
Oh, really?
Yeah. not like this so like in your off the ball days don't think so were you just sounding like
no I don't know
funny broadcast quality at all times I don't think so I don't think it's been like this that's not a humorous observation when he says like 50% roughly it probably is something
close to that my voice seems to even a loud night in a pub the next day my voice is bad seems to be very susceptible to changing Take care of
yourself. Some of that is self-fulfilling prophecy as well too though. If you get geared yourself up with the thinking that's going to happen as well. You talk yourself into illness sometimes.
Are you a hypochondriac? Clearly not if people are hearing it.
