Episode 269 of Talking Bollocks brought to you by Go Loud. It's me, Toddy Flowey. It's me, C.O.B. And this week we're joined by... Damien Dempsey. Damien, you're back in with us again. Great to see you, lads. Great to see you. It's always good to see you, Damien. Can you believe it's been over four and a half years ago, I think? Are you serious? Yeah. Since you were last in with us. It's the last one that bad yet. It's fucking this fucking long. Get me back in. We've been chasing you for four years to get you back in, Damien.
You're a hard man to get a hold of. And I think that's my design.
I'm really close to you guys, you know. Yeah. You don't do the social media or anything, don't you? No, no, Jesus, no. I just go to the woods and just listen to the birds singing. You love all that, don't you, yeah? Nature, yeah, I love it. Love it, yeah.
I think I'm an old soul, you know. Yeah, but I was only looking at that today then, man. I just thought, fucking hell, over four years ago, I think it was. Or was it? Give or take anyways. I just remember thinking, Jesus Christ, that's a flying boy. I think the last time that we bumped into him was the Remembrance Night by Christy Dignam. That's right, yeah. Which was a great night, by the way. Curly put on a great night for him, but
Yous were brilliant that night lads, it was great.
Thank you Damo.
Hosted it amazing.
Great night though wasn't it? Yeah it was great. We were a bit starstruck standing in the wings introducing all these people and I was like fucking hell. But do you know what felt great? We knew who Damo was. So we were back there having a bit of a crack with you but then you're like you're introducing all these people and you're like this is mental. And it was a wild crowd as well.
You're great weren't you? Yeah it was brilliant yeah. We were laughing Damo because when we come off stage after introducing you you finish your song and come out and your head locked to two of us. Like two 12-year-old boys we were getting headlocked. I was like, fuck's sake. Sorry about that, lads. Had the adrenaline flowing. Yeah. How have you been keeping, Damo?
Oh, great, great, yeah. Brilliant. Just out in Houth today, just walked up the mountain, you know.
What does Damien Dempsey say about the resurgence of Gaelic culture?
If you walk up fast, it's a hill, you know, so the hill does the work, you know, so it's like jogging or something. Yeah. And I was with a lad, Seamus Reynolds. He's amazing. He's from Balgadia in Clondalkin. Champion kickboxer and black belt and all. But he's in recovery now. He was a wild man. He had me some wild stories. But he went around the world. He got into yoga and to breathing. And now he's bringing that now to communities like addiction centres in Ballyferma in Clondalkin and Edenmore and just around there. And he's been giving me a few sessions, you know. Yeah. It's incredible. We've done a breathing session there after the walk and... It's like doing 10 yokes or something.
