Hey everyone, Tuesday Bits and Bobs. We are happy to be coming at you. Conan is in studio. Conan, hello. Hello, Joe. And Rory O'Connor is with us. Day late, dollar short. Yeah, sorry. We postponed yesterday's Bits and Bobs in favour of some World Cup talk, but gave you first refusal on Tuesday and both said... We'll move heaven and earth to be here.
It's usually bits and bobs. It's the big calls. I thought, I'm not missing this chance.
How is the Rugby Nations Championship shaping up?
Indosport podcast at independent.ie. Plenty of emails coming in. People are exercised about various things. You told a lovely story about your GA club recently. Player collapsed. Yeah. Not the lovely part. Teammate saved his life on the pitch with defibrillator was the lovely part. So many emails in about this. Oh, really? Yeah.
CPR first and then defibrillator. It's not real. It's literally a team effort.
Well, I had expressed a sense that I wouldn't know what to do with a defibrillator.
What happened during the recent penalty shootout in football?
And many doctors wrote in to basically say it's like Fisher-Price. It's easy. You would figure it out. So, for instance, one of those was Dr. Jim. I just like this email because it was very evocative. So he said, hello all. Wow, what a passeggiata I am on right now. So a passeggiata, if you're not Italian speaking, is a traditional Italian culinary practice of taking a leisurely walk in the evening. After your meal.
Passagetta?
Yeah. What a passagetta! I am on right now. In the middle of Rome. In the middle of Rome.
Why was cricket's weekend significant for Ireland?
After a wedding last night. It's 8pm and 39 degrees. And I can't get enough. My girlfriend has gone for a siesta. I'm not sure at 8pm it's a siesta. She's gone to sleep.
She's just gone from Italy to Spain as well.
Yeah. Jim, she doesn't want to spend the evening with you, I think, what's happening there. It's 8pm, 39 degrees, I can't get enough. My girlfriend's gone for a siesta, so I have a takeaway Aperol in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and I don't even smoke. and bits and bobs in my ears. What a life. I, however, have a serious point to make. While my actual profession has been questioned on this show before, I am quite literally a life-saving doctor when it comes to defibrillators and not knowing how to use them.
How does the performance of Ireland's cricket team compare to past tournaments?
The most important thing is if the time ever comes, stay calm. A lot of the machines will talk you through the instructions out loud and the equipment literally shows you images where to put things where. So, He's reassuring anyone that it's very easy. Also, can I just say, if Rog coaches England, I'll actually quite enjoy the narrative of that. If Rog coaches Leinster, I may move to the Antarctica. Yours in Passagietta, Dr. Jim.
That's a real train of thought that you only get on a Passagietta. His first Apro.
The Apro kicked in there.
Am I right in thinking as well, Jim might correct me, but I think that the defibrillator will only kick in if it's needed as well. It's not like you'll send a shock through. It'll apparently read that it needs to be done and it will kick in.
Presumed so. We touched on it again.
What role does media play in promoting sports like hurling?
There were females. Conor McKeown told an amazing story about Shane Kearney. yeah Carty Carty excuse me Shane Carty and he collapsed and there was one in the bar and luckily like the barman who was on that night you know it was kind of a volunteer role he happened to you know he Maybe work in that area. So he knew what to do. And they dusted off the defibrillator, ran out, gave the one shock. I presume it's called a shock. Shane came back wonderfully. And then they looked at the defibrillator and the battery was gone. It had one left. So there you go. Charged them as well. So that was Dr. Jim.
