1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,280 This is you dressing down. I love that. 2 00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,720 Like I didn't know what to expect. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,400 I'll be honest, like I've never, I kind of like clothes and 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,640 stuff, but I've never had the thought in the five years of 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,160 doing this podcast of being excited for what a guest is 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,000 going to wear. And today is the day. 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,200 Well, I said to my daughters, I said, Grace Ruby, what do you 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,680 think I should wear going on? Because with my daughters, when 9 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,680 I said, you know, I'm going on she and Todd's podcast and they 10 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,360 they just didn't believe me, He says, daddy, no way that they 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,600 were like run about the place that says what you need to tone 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,200 it down. Right, right, right. 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,520 I can't. This, this is no, yeah, I, I 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,040 still remember coming across your videos on I think it was 15 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,040 TikTok and it wasn't actually the, the kind of fitness and 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,200 strength content. It was, it was the, the Sunday 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,760 vibes. It was going to church on a 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,480 Sunday and I was I, I just got hooked. 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,920 I was like, and it's so weird again, I was like, I need to 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,400 know what this guy who I've never met before is going to be 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,320 wearing the church in Ballymena next Sunday. 22 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Like it's just. You see, the thing about it is 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,200 nobody has the kahunas that they were the stuff, and so it's all 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,440 second hand. But I don't. 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,360 Yeah, that's part of a family. Here. 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,400 Because. I love a pair of flowers. 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Yeah. You know why not? 28 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,720 But you said no one has, you know, the maybe the stones to 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440 work. I think people furthermore don't 30 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,920 have the connections to get this stuff because if I wanted to 31 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,880 dress like that, where do you, where do you get it? 32 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,920 So there's a wee place in Belfast on Bridge St and I get a 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,600 lot of my stuff, second hand stuff and something vintage for 34 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,480 come in at every, every other Saturday. 35 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,840 I've forgotten the name. That's that's an old thing, but 36 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,920 you go in and also we were in, we were doing a wee bit of 37 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,760 connections in the States and I'm, I'm not being big time 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,280 fancy pants here or anything but there. 39 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,720 You know, but I mean by the way, you literally are fancy pants. 40 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Like you weren't. First fanciest pants I've ever 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,280 seen in this studio. Well, I do have a a cerise pink 42 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,240 pear as well, but I thought, anyway, that's another story. 43 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,360 And so in on Muscle Beach, there's this vintage shop and I 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120 just walked into it. She and I thought, Oh my 45 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,840 goodness, this is stunk. Like I was stinking. 46 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,080 Yeah, but you know, a few dry cleaners later and it was, you 47 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,840 know what? But you get one chance in this 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360 like and I don't do it for effect. 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,040 No, no, no. I. 50 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,200 Just feel, I feel, you know, I feel good in it, yeah. 51 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440 And did you like how does that go down at that? 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Present fee? That's another story. 53 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,760 It better be flowers. No, it's not flowers, it's just 54 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,840 a wee tank top. I like my wee tank tops. 55 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,880 Do you want it now I. Want it now and I'll put it on 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,080 now, I'll tell you that. This this is. 57 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,080 Hold on. No this. 58 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,000 Is my favourite. Is this your actual one? 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,800 Why? This is from a Sunday vibe. 60 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 This is my favourite Sunday vibe that I've done in Ballymena and 61 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,800 in a church in LA. You have to be this. 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,920 I'll be offended if you don't take this now. 63 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120 But if it's so much responsibility, it's like, it's 64 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,080 like in, it's like the end of Karate Kid, you know? 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,080 Like I feel like I've been waiting for a moment. 66 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Quite tight but listen, I I was checking you out. 67 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,240 Total. Yeah, yeah. 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,680 Heterosexual man when I did Gillian for 22 years yeah. 69 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,280 And I walked up the stairs and when I saw you the first time I 70 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,000 said he's much better you're better. 71 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,000 You're better looking in life than you are on screen, so kudos 72 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,800 the. I think the only thing that's 73 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680 been missing from my life is this. 74 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680 Up here kind of respect. That you were. 75 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,560 I mean, silly question. Do you wear this with a T-shirt 76 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,040 under it? No, no, no. 77 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,920 Just bear. Here he goes. 78 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Here you're tight. My goodness, you're tight. 79 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,760 Because because here's the thing that's that's not a lot of body 80 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,840 fat. There, I'm telling you that. 81 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200 People don't expect this. That's that's probably 9% 82 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880 because you've got visible ABS. When you can see your ABS, 83 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,880 you're you're. Genuinely my favourite episode 84 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440 of the podcast were ever done. What were you saying about the 85 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,760 Visible? ABS so 10%, maybe 1011% you 86 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160 won't see your abs. You've got nice look at your 87 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,600 lats. I could help you and how you 88 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,520 sort of carry yourself. But you know, there's a few wee 89 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,560 wee tricks that you can do. Hey, no, that looks well. 90 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,680 That looks well, but I've got more. 91 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,640 I've got more. By the way, I feel like this 92 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,640 might be one step at a time. You don't. 93 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,640 You don't want my next gift? OK. 94 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,600 OK.

What do you think? 104 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,800 The the only the only thing I can think in this outfit is it 105 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,120 will be a terrible time to receive awful news like if 106 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200 something terrible happened to someone in my extended family or 107 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760 something.

Let's get back into this 138 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,520 episode. If I was the improved, not that 139 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,720 I'm fashion Easter or anything, but would you maybe length would 140 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 you think about growing the like? 141 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Glenn, are you just trying to make more versions of you? 142 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Now here's the thing. I have actually started growing 143 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,440 my hair out. That is something I'm doing and 144 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,360 I think subconsciously you see it might be coming from you. 145 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,840 See, I love to hear that as. These I honestly for I was I'm 146 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,360 just back from holiday and I was running when I was on holiday 147 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080 and I thought these are the kind of glasses I need. 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,800 Well, very kindly, I'm not doing any sponsored ads or anything, 149 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,240 but this accompanying in the states I seem to have. 150 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,280 And again, it's not about numbers, but I seem to have a 151 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,960 bit of a connection with folks in the States. 152 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,280 Do you know why I think that is? I don't know if you'll agree 153 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,040 with me, but because you're so extroverted in your style, I 154 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:03,760 think here I've always noticed that we're very scared, almost 155 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,280 like to experiment with fashion or style or even. 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,440 I was doing a gig last night. I was talking about in Northern 157 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480 Ireland, you can barely get away with just sunglasses in general. 158 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000 People have a real problem with friends might be like, what are 159 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,280 you doing? Yeah, like a 25° middle of the 160 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040 day. But we're we're very like, it's 161 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,720 very much a you should just dress like everybody. 162 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,440 Yeah. Or like a set way of doing 163 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,240 things. And when you go outside that, I 164 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,640 think it intimidates people a bit. 165 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,200 Well, I would like to think that, you know, when people get 166 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,559 to know you. I don't think I'm in 167 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,960 intimidating to anyone, you know. 168 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,480 No, I mean just that you have the confidence to yes, to, to 169 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,800 have your own style. Yeah, I think maybe age as well, 170 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,840 Shana, I probably wouldn't have dressed like this in the 20s. 171 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,480 Like when you I'll be, I'll be 55 in a few weeks time and I 172 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,320 don't have as much time as anyone else. 173 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,640 So I really want to make make the most of it, you know? 174 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,200 And will this always continue? OK. 175 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600 But and also you're saying you didn't dress like that when you 176 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,120 were younger. When you're in your 70s and 80s, 177 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,760 what are you going to be wearing? 178 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,960 This isn't I. Well, maybe just. 179 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,680 I know I don't think I will. I think it might actually get 180 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:17,840 worse.

And I just want to express 192 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,840 myself and live, live a life that, you know, that, you know, 193 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,080 I was given and and purpose. You know, I, I, she and I'll be 194 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,960 honest that I want to do some stuff, you know, I do. 195 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,440 I'm a dreamer.

Not just being positive for the 210 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440 sake of you. He he's some sort of mindset 211 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,440 dude. But you can do it, you know. 212 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,360 But, and I think that's why the content, which, how long have 213 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,440 you been doing 10 months online content. 214 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280 See, that's insane to me because 10 months, I think I saw it at 215 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:18,880 the very start, but that is why I think it resonated with so 216 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,320 many people because of how positive you are as a person. 217 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,600 And there's no, you know, we're talking earlier before this, 218 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,320 where your content being very organic. 219 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760 And I think that's why people love it because it's not 220 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,880 rehearsed. You're not hard selling 221 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,400 something. It's it's more just like here. 222 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,880 You can do this if you. If you're the worst salesman in 223 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,360 the world, yeah, I do get when you have that amount of 224 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200 followers even don't even like saying that that think oh, who 225 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,720 who does he think he is? You know, it's just that Belfast 226 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920 thing. You know, we are, you know, we 227 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,040 are modest and we, we yeah, yeah, we're Gen like I'm, I'm 228 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920 from the Shore Rd, North Belfast through and through. 229 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,560 You'll never, I'll never forget where I'm from, you know, and I 230 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,240 love Belfast. I love Ballymena. 231 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,240 I love Northern Ireland. And again, I put up something 232 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,720 like, oh, I love Northern Ireland. 233 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,400 I get abuse, you know, from yes, you know what it's like. 234 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,240 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get a lot of stick, but I try 235 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,440 to answer all the comments, every single one. 236 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,480 Yeah, I think, I think that's when I started seeing your stuff 237 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,520 was was you talking about the abuse you'd been receiving 238 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,920 online and that must have did that almost shock you that that 239 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160 happens? Because if you aren't used to 240 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,120 posting, did you expect criticism like that? 241 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,960 And did it? I think, you know, we're talking 242 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,320 about age and how as you get older, you you experiment more 243 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360 with style and you go more like this is who I am. 244 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,760 I I've definitely found out. And especially since having 245 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,920 kids, yes, I'm way more comfortable as like myself and 246 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,040 to just make decisions and say, no, I'm going to do this because 247 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,360 I like the idea of it or, or I think this even like even like 248 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,080 dress and stuff like you say, like this looks good or 249 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,840 whatever. And way more trying to impress 250 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,280 people less than just trying to be me. 251 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,400 But the critics online criticism we've talked about in the 252 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,760 podcast before, but when I started doing online content, I 253 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:22,920 was maybe 1920 and it was it was wild because there wasn't that 254 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120 much of it. But anything that it felt so 255 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,160 personal and because I was a kid kind of it, it could have 256 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,560 affected you or a comment really sit with you for a weekend. 257 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,240 On board it did it did it affect? 258 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,880 Yeah. And I and I almost felt like I 259 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,560 was shaping what I was doing as a result of it. 260 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:39,000 And you should never obviously do that. 261 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,440 Yeah, but it's probably better in a way that you are seeing 262 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,040 that criticism, but you know who you are as a person, so it's 263 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,040 easier to deal with. I have a wee bit of a strategy 264 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,720 and when someone is really vile and I, I try to flip it around 265 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,560 Shane and just flip a wee bit of kindness. 266 00:13:58,560 --> 00:13:59,960 Yes, yeah. A wee bit of love. 267 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,720 Throws people off. And they don't come back. 268 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they don't come. 269 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,200 I know I get a kids. The the first thing is it's 270 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,360 normally the Irish liver king. You're you're on steroids. 271 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,800 You you were a wig and your your biceps are fake. 272 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,960 You've got AB. I know every single one of them 273 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,200 in the head. Your abs are and plants. 274 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,200 Yeah, I have a wind machine and a green screen behind because 275 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,960 it's always a lovely day in Ballymena. 276 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,920 No, that is one thing. If I was a conspiracy theorist I 277 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,440 would say it does always look 27° every all year. 278 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,360 On, you know, I was given, I said Bara, he's a boy. 279 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,840 Bara bass. Bara bass. 280 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,040 Yeah, I was giving him is. He giving you stick online. 281 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,640 No, no, I was going. I thought you meant he's one of 282 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,320 the true. I was going to give him a run 283 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,520 for his money, but you see people in the States that they 284 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,560 think like, I love Ballymena, but they think it's this, you 285 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,960 know, this haven, it's like the Garden of Eden. 286 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400 You're, you're bringing like huge tourism to Ballymena and 287 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,160 then they're at you, you know, exactly. 288 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,880 We didn't expect this. Exactly. 289 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440 And you, like, you get some crazies that you probably know. 290 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boy on the other day says like a 291 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720 private message. Got a lot of private message. 292 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,000 Looking for my socks. He wants to sniff my socks for 293 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,800 £500. I'll be honest, at the start of 294 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,760 that I was like Oh my God, get rid of this guy 500 Now are we 295 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,160 talking a a soccer? Repair. 296 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520 No, I, I don't know. I'm I'm saying a grand for a 297 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,640 person because. And that what? 298 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,000 If that has to do with you like you just sent, send them off. 299 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720 There's other things as well like that may be a bit risky, 300 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,800 but I, I put we're in a group chat with the the mighty sky 301 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640 Blues.

So it's it's. 306 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,600 I I tell a pair of shocks £500 as long as I don't have to see 307 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,360 the guy sniff it. I know, but it just opens up a 308 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,200 can of worms though. And like, there's always a. 309 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,000 Lucrative can of worms? And money's not everything. 310 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,840 You're somebody smelling your socks. 311 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,240 But a pair of, you know, multi packed slabs, you know. 312 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,160 But I love them.

Socks. 314 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,440 Yeah, by the way, you know what you're doing because you just 315 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440 advertise that to the camera. Here you haven't seen anything 316 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,680 yet. I want to. 317 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,520 So let's let's like go back. So I know you played football 318 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,840 across the water when you were a kid. 319 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,640 You played for Chelsea because because that's something, 320 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,040 because I know you, you worked with Lauren, now you're working 321 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,360 with Ballymena. But I didn't know you played as 322 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600 well. I could that's when you're 323 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,960 talking to the lads, you know, that's it's ancient history 324 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,640 there back in the day she and it was totally different. 325 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,800 Yeah, yeah, I went over to to London at 16 and I was an 326 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,360 apprentice professional. So we're on a contract and, you 327 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,320 know, cleaning the boots and brushing the stands and, you 328 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,560 know, I had three professional people that are players that I 329 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,480 had to look after as a kid. Were they any? 330 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,320 Any notable names? Unless maybe before your time I. 331 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,960 Don't know try me.

So I was, I was there to look 339 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,680 after their boots and their kit and everything and. 340 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359 And do you think that's because that obviously doesn't happen 341 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,119 anymore? Oh. 342 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,320 No way. But do you think that way? 343 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,080 Surely ground and waste that's way better. 344 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Oh. It was amazing. 345 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,120 For a kid to learn that and discipline in. 346 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,640 Three years on my own in London and this was before mobile 347 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,880 phones. Yeah, yeah. 348 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,520 So I, I used to have to, it was like a 2 hour journey to get, we 349 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,320 used to train in a place called Harrington and you would have 350 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,520 got the minibus to, to Stamford Bridge and done all your duties 351 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,080 and all this sort of stuff. But it was you, you were like on 352 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,880 a Friday, things that you couldn't get away with now. 353 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,120 Like there was the Irish team, the Scotch team, the English 354 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:06,040 team in training and you know, other sort of, you know, other 355 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,360 things.

You have to, I read a, a 360 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,320 statistic the other day, is it 0.0001% of, of young lads who 361 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,800 try to make it to the Premier League actually make it? 362 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280 Yeah, yeah. Like, and that's a phenomenal 363 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,200 statistic. And, and I have seen it along 364 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,760 the way, you know, and you, you have to be very, very special. 365 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,520 I was I was just fit and and fast. 366 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440 That that that was my game. I used to used to call me 367 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,400 Forrest Gump, you know, do you know Forrest? 368 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,600 Oh yeah, yeah, used to kick it.

Yes, yes, stadium. 370 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000 So I was really, really quick because I came from an athletic 371 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,480 background, but I just probably didn't have that steal, you 372 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,360 know, you, you have to be so single minded and just so 373 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,800 focused and being away from home. 374 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,040 You know, I always say this, I was just a kid from the Shore 375 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,920 Rd. But I wouldn't change it. 376 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,280 You know, I learned a lot and there was good lifetime, you 377 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,360 know, experiences, you know, but. 378 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,400 And the players you played with in that team go go on to make it 379 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,960 at Chelsea. Yeah, again, I don't know 380 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,200 whether you'd know any of these boys. 381 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Graham Graham Lasso played for England. 382 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,040 There was a guy called Frank Sinclair, big black guy at the 383 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,480 back who was centre half Craig Burley who played for Scotland 384 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,800 and went on to captain Celtic and all that sort of stuff, you 385 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,720 know. So there was a little and I got 386 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,720 to play in all the old grounds. So I played at White Hart Lane 387 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,520 and Highbury and play like 1 Wimbledon's Grind, obviously, 388 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Stanford Bridge, the Dale, you know, all those, you know. 389 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,440 So there's lasting, lasting memories, you know, getting a 390 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,200 bit emotional now. Yeah. 391 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:09,600 But.

Yes. 403 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,120 You know, I think sometimes and I don't just do that, you know, 404 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,680 it can be a strength, but it can be very disarming. 405 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Yeah, yeah.

To be careful. 538 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,720 So I met her and I knew you on the first date we had. 539 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,920 I was going to marry her. Right. 540 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,720 They're very. And then people say, oh, that's 541 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,480 crazy, but I just knew. Yeah, yeah. 542 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,960 So that that was down in the Grove Leisure Centre. 543 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,440 And that's where I learnt my trade. 544 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,680 Yes. I learnt my trade under a guy 545 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,120 called Kenny Beatty. And was he a Take that guy? 546 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,120 No, definitely not.

We used to have this thing on a 550 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,000 Tuesday and a Thursday morning called ladies Activity, right, 551 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,520 like you do. No, just so I just recently 552 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,840 qualified. I was, I was came back from 553 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,360 England. I was 19. 554 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,400 I came, I looked alright. I wasn't, you know, I'm not bad, 555 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880 you know, Yeah. Anyway, so Tuesdays and 556 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,840 Thursdays from and it's, it's in green from 10:00 to 12:00. 557 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,120 All the ladies from North Belfast used to come in and they 558 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,040 could have used the, the sauna and the swim and, and the gym. 559 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,040 So I'm, there's 19 year old guy back in the day before, like a 560 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,720 lot of folks are, are, are PTS. But I, I was just a wee fitness 561 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,520 instructor. Yes. 562 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,920 And there was just the sea of women in their bathing suits 563 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,600 coming from the pool. And you ever see those those 564 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,680 hats with the flowers on them? Do you know that like you have 565 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,520 to wear like a swimming? Oh, yes, yeah, yeah. 566 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,680 And. There's like a thing, right? 567 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,840 And there's like a sea of treadmills and all I see is 568 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,120 these. Can you say rotund? 569 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,000 You absolutely can say. Like sort of rotund ladies. 570 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,360 Yes, in, in their bathing suits, Yeah, in their flip flops. 571 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,840 And I was responsible for, you know, for to stimulate these 572 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,200 ladies for two hours. Right. 573 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,520 Yeah, don't know if you can say stimulate that, say rotund, 574 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280 maybe the wrong use of the word. Stimulated. 575 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,600 Terribly honest. Like a stunning fee. 576 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,880 No, far from like I seriously, I don't get intimidated too much. 577 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,840 Yeah, but I was intimidated by those ladies. 578 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720 Yeah, especially like the aerobics kind of ladies. 579 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,800 Like sometimes I be in the pool and you see the the older ladies 580 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,720 doing the water aerobics and they're like, they're into it 581 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,120 like. The buoyancy is important in the 582 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:14,840 water, but there do you know, there's a sort of a S&C depends 583 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,520 on the temperature of the water. A lot of people swim and think 584 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,560 it's maybe really good for, you know, burning fat and that sort 585 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,760 of stuff. But the the temperature of the 586 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,000 water is is isn't conducive for that. 587 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,200 But that's another. Story Do you? 588 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,160 What do you mean? You want the water to be cold or 589 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,400 you want to be warm. Well, if it's it's a lot, 590 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,600 sometimes it's too warm. You won't burn fat. 591 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,480 You know, you see people go on going and going. 592 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,080 But I suppose fitness is controversial. 593 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,000 One study says that's the, you know, the affirmative, and 594 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,280 they'll say it. What's the most? 595 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Yeah, it's and that I think the first video I saw yours, you 596 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,320 were saying that you prefer like high Rep like 30 reps in a set, 597 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,200 love 30 reps and you have so many people in that comment like 598 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,280 wrong. I know there's this, this lad 599 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,120 from Belfast and maybe he was just jumping on but. 600 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,440 By the way, they're all, by the way, these people are always 601 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,040 jumping on. They're going guys just jumping 602 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,080 on and they're all jumping on. I remember that. 603 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,920 The human Pogo sticks. So I I had like a video of me 604 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,440 doing my, my 30 reps I'm not a bad neck. 605 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,520 No, I'm I'm giving it that. And he had his, his wee. 606 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,520 I don't even know how to do it, but he he had his wee, the wee 607 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,320 box of him. He, so he's he's put himself in 608 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,200 your your videos playing in the background, yes. 609 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,200 And he is hammering me and and he's saying this is ridiculous 610 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,480 and who who's this guy and all this sort of stuff. 611 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,880 And and I'm using there is a rationale that I've sort of 612 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,200 developed with that. You know, I believe that you 613 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,120 don't need the lift heavy. Thank God that's just that's 614 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,280 just one. Of my heart. 615 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,960 Well, he was on and I didn't say anything. 616 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,720 But to be honest, a lot of folks who who maybe sort of agree with 617 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,520 me, I didn't have to say anything. 618 00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,560 Yes. People are going to say it for. 619 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,040 You they came on and and I think he he took it down and all that 620 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,640 seriously. I felt a bit sorry, but it's my 621 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,240 name. It's surely all. 622 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,200 I just can't believe you're sitting in my time top. 623 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,320 Do you know what? I'm so glad that you've given me 624 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120 it because I couldn't have bought this for myself so this 625 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,640 feels like the start of something. 626 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160 That's a wee sale number. I love it. 627 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,200 Do you like it I. Like it? 628 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,160 I don't know what circumstance I would wear it in, but maybe I 629 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,520 don't need a circumstance claim. Just wear it Sunday. 630 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Just own it. Just Sunday maybe I need to 631 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,920 start getting Sunday is going to be my day where I just expect I 632 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,680 couldn't go flares. Could you not? 633 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,400 I just couldn't do it. It's the fit of them. 634 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,840 I love the fit of them. So again, not being fancy pants, 635 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,440 but there there's a wee place, Madcap England. 636 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,680 Can I say that or no, Madcap London. 637 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,880 And they they send me the the flowers to be honest. 638 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,720 Right. And the bandanas and but, and is 639 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,880 there anyone at church who's like, is there kind of some 640 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,480 older people maybe who are like, but not speaking to the 641 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,080 committee, maybe be like, what's happening here? 642 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,400 I don't know. We don't have all. 643 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,720 The elder. I well, not in my church. 644 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,880 I've been going there a long time, like 18 years. 645 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,240 But other people would come on and they, they quote like stuff 646 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,440 from the Bible and pride. Pride is a sin and all this sort 647 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,160 of stuff. Yes. 648 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,440 Listen, you can't please everyone. 649 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,480 You know, and that's and that's the same we're talking about 650 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,040 technique and ways to do things. But like you're testament the 651 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,280 fact that whatever you're doing is working for you. 652 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,320 So I can't understand why people are going to come on and be like 653 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,360 this is wrong if they're not also. 654 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,160 And even I think if it is another PTI think that kind of 655 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,040 things then like a private conversation. 656 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,560 Yeah. If he wants to message you, 657 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,760 whoever it is, and be like, you know, start a conversation 658 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,280 about, yeah, what he thinks, maybe you could do that. 659 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,880 Well, that's maybe just one element of a decent physique. 660 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:54,880 You know, at 55, I'll be, I keep saying that anyway, it's a 661 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,320 lifestyle. She and I have been doing this a 662 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,600 long, long time. I don't, I don't deviate, I 663 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,000 don't compromise. I don't have That's another 664 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000 weird thing. When I'm on doing the stuff, I 665 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,199 never like to say, don't do this, this doesn't work, don't 666 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:14,880 do this. This is, you know, this is the 667 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,159 be all and end all. That's right. 668 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,920 I say, listen, this is what I do, you know, give it a go. 669 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,159 You know, before you knock it, give it a go. 670 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,920 See, you can handle it. But and folks would say it's a 671 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,199 lightweight it's but it depends what you consider as light. 672 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,239 I push quite a lot of weight. So there's something that you 673 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,600 can maybe think about and the ultimate leg session. 674 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,639 So I love working legs. I get so much abuse from my 675 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:43,120 legs. Do you have your legs? 676 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:49,000 If I wear shorts in any kind of video, OK, I get a lot of I've 677 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,760 got the comment more meat on a butcher's bench 1000 times. 678 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,199 Seeing better legs hanging out of a nest. 679 00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:57,880 Well, no one said that, Glenn, so I don't know why you have, 680 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,200 but a lot of I get a lot of abuse from a leg. 681 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,400 No, I'm not coming. None of my videos are me going 682 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,360 check out these for great legs. I just happen to earn shorts in 683 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,240 a video and people are like skip leg day and then I, and I don't 684 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:16,080 mean to be rude, but I look at some of these individuals and I 685 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,120 go, who on earth are you talking to? 686 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,360 So I one of the. Videos. 687 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,480 That I paid up. I like my short short. 688 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,800 I like my short. Short you know I'm trying to 689 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,560 bring the 80s back. Like remember the old Admiral 690 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,440 ones, Do you remember? Do you know? 691 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,800 I know that Brian because he's did all the football tops, but I 692 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,720 was never around for the Admiral. 693 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,120 Well, I was around when it wasn't retro, right? 694 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,720 Yeah, yeah.

I don't worry about that. 703 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,240 You're turning. 55 But then things are going to start 704 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,960 slipping.

I I get lots of stuff in the 713 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,840 middle island and littles and there was these green shorts 714 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,280 with the you know, the wee under shorts underneath yes and the 715 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,720 amount especially Americans, where you get where you get 716 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,680 those shorts. That's terrible accent tell you 717 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,400 still. We were in America and every 718 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,280 time we went for a Starbucks and a Sun Ross, we had to take it in 719 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,080 terms to order in an American accent. 720 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,880 It was the fun, but I think that's nice story. 721 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,280 So back to the the little shorts and all these Americans way, 722 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,880 man, where'd you get those shorts? 723 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,120 And I said the middle, the middle I little because I try to 724 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,160 respond to every single message. Yes, which is wild. 725 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,240 Which but if people are kind enough, shame. 726 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,960 Do you not respond to every message? 727 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,840 Not every message. I would love to but it's to me 728 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,480 it's just not possible. Obviously if someone says I'm 729 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,520 very personal, you know, or they're asking you to do 730 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,280 something, maybe even if you can't do it, of course I want to 731 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,480 be like, I can't do this or yes, I can do this, but every it's, 732 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,800 it's just physically it wouldn't. 733 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,360 Be possible what time you up in the morning? 734 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,200 Seven, maybe just before. That's maybe what it is. 735 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,880 Probably I get up at 5 from 5 to 6. 736 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,960 It would do actually. Four. 737 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,840 I get up at 4:00. I get up 4 just remembered. 738 00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:49,840 So I at the start, but I said I don't have as much time. 739 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,560 So I'm, as you, you know, I'm, I'm trying to, you know, just 740 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,560 cram everything in as much as I can. 741 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,320 But but yeah, I think I think that that is why everything's 742 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,520 blown up online because it is so natural. 743 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,320 You're also the age that you are. 744 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,720 So you're not like so many PTS are late teens, early 20s, that 745 00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,400 kind of thing. Whereas you have the life 746 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,920 experience for the football background, your faith, all this 747 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,080 different stuff. So it's just a totally different 748 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,120 to what other people are doing. What was the first video that 749 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,760 like took off for you or you noticed there was a lot of 750 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,360 numbers on? And it was a normally do a bicep 751 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:30,800 on a Friday. So my training so simple, my 752 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,120 nutrition so simple, but I just do it consistently. 753 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,760 So it was 1 and it was like a what's what's better? 754 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:44,800 30 reps or or 8 to 12 reps Everyone you know is in that yet 755 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,200 the and it was just going so. It's people arguing almost in 756 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,920 the comments and that puts the video of people's feed. 757 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,440 Exact. And I'm just saying, listen, I 758 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,240 just asked the question, you know? 759 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,880 It might just drop the match and then you walk off walk. 760 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,560 Away, but it still answered them all, which is Jelly and cracks 761 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,120 up. And what are you doing? 762 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:09,600 I'm messaging some boy, but no. But this going back to my like 763 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,560 my USP is probably my age, you know, and being being fit and 764 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,280 like I love the pre season, working with the boys and being 765 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,760 around the boys. You know what it's like in that, 766 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,120 in that dressing room environment, It's it's that 767 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,400 keeps me, that keeps me young and the people that are in my 768 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,200 life and Gillian being a lot younger than me. 769 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,800 Yeah, 'cause help. I think my lips stop there. 770 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,640 I think like you see so many people who like, lose that, you 771 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,600 know, as in they're playing football or a sport and then 772 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,080 they're away from a dressing room and they find it so 773 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,840 difficult. Should be able to keep doing it, 774 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,160 but in a different capacity. Yeah, must be great because, 775 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,600 yeah, like I said, the social side of it and stuff and it's 776 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,520 brilliant and like dressing rooms, like you wouldn't want to 777 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,600 write down what people are saying in dressing rooms. 778 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,800 Unbelievable. But it's a it's a unique 779 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:06,200 environment, the kind of and long, I think longevity stuff. 780 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,760 Like I I always say I'm going to stop playing football like I'm 781 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,400 done, but I've been saying that since it was like 30. 782 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,240 One never stop. But I think, no, I can do it. 783 00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,560 But then I also have other fitness types, things I like 784 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,720 doing, like running, yeah, I'd never been into. 785 00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:23,000 And then a couple of years, so when the season stops or 786 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,280 whatever, I just get into park runs and I5K is like my thing. 787 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,560 And then I started, well, that became like a bit of a goal for 788 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,080 me then. So in April I was like, I really 789 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,360 want to go under 20 minutes. I was going to say and I got. 790 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:44,240 1953 or something like that. And that was like a huge because 791 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:47,320 I think when you're younger, you know, you set more goals and 792 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,080 stuff. And then I hadn't set a goal in 793 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,800 a long time. Like career wise, I never set 794 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,000 goals. I just like to work hard and 795 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,880 hope that good things will come as a result of that. 796 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,160 But then when I want to do a sub 20 run, when I did that, it was 797 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,200 just an unbelievable feeling. You know that's. 798 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,040 A decent time a. Goal and then doing it. 799 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,720 But you know, you're, you're very lean and you're very, do 800 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,320 you lift weights at all? I left, yeah, I left. 801 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,560 I've got a gym in the house and I the only thing is I can't put 802 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,600 on size. I just, I struggle with that. 803 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,000 I've Crohn's disease. OK. 804 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,360 Yeah, that's. Part of it, yeah, but I I am 805 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,040 just a naturally slim guy. You're an ectomorph. 806 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,680 And I'm not even call worse, I am I. 807 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,000 You have ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph. 808 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,040 It's just a different type. Of and what am I react to? 809 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,400 Morph and ectomorph? I don't like I. 810 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,760 Don't know it's alright. I don't like being a reactor. 811 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,280 That's alright. I'm not slagging you or 812 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,560 anything. Not like that. 813 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,600 That's good. It's just a you're. 814 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,080 I'm a mesomorph. You know, that's way a 815 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,160 mesomorph. I think some bit of a Marvel 816 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,320 movie. I won't be able. 817 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,080 You're me react no more. Can I tell you something about 818 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,640 Marvel movies? Yes. 819 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,720 And So what? One of my guys who's on one of 820 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:59,560 my programmes and not trying to get business running, but then 821 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,320 his name is Tika and he's a director. 822 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,040 He directed Marvel and when we were in. 823 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,720 To get take take a work. I'm going to say this wrong. 824 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,480 Take a what take? Yeah, where we are. 825 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:18,080 I was chatting to him yesterday and I don't know what kind of I 826 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,640 was in his house, you can't say. And Rita Laura. 827 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,880 Yes, he was upstairs. Gillian was sitting in the 828 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,160 kitchen. She's going. 829 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,120 We're in Rita Ora's house. Yeah. 830 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,720 And he is the nicest, kindest, friendliest guy. 831 00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:35,920 So he's doing like he's on the check insurance where you like. 832 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,880 Oh, he's, he's on my my sculpt programme and he's just then 833 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,040 he's I'm like he's. How does that come about? 834 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,840 Social media. So when we were in LA, my, my 835 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,080 kids were, we were at a place in California called Bethel. 836 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,480 And my girls were doing like a college thing. 837 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,360 There are three church there. My girls are singers, right? 838 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,960 That's me getting emotional now. Yeah. 839 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,440 Yeah, that's OK. I've I've got emotional multiple 840 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,640 times on this podcast. Probably worse that I was 841 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,920 probably fighting with them and not being a particularly good 842 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,600 daddy. But anyway, so we were in just 843 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,560 before we came on here. You know, I think you save 844 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:16,960 you're real. You have to be real of. 845 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:17,960 Course of. Course. 846 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,200 Anyway, so we were in California, then we went to San 847 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,640 Francisco where we got mugged. That's another story I saw. 848 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,840 You talk that is a ropey place was tricky. 849 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,520 It's all uphill, it's windy and you're going to get mugged. 850 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,440 And it's freezing. So but my son Ross, he's he's 851 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,520 22, he's this boy just came out from nowhere and people think it 852 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,480 was making this up, make that up. 853 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,920 And Ross, Ross can handle himself. 854 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,680 And he just, he had like a hoodie only he got the hoodie up 855 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,320 and he had the boy and he was going to. 856 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,120 So this guy came out of nowhere and his, Ross's wee girlfriend, 857 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,600 he came over and he grabbed and all that. 858 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,240 It was a bit scary. But Ross, he came to the rescue. 859 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,480 But anyway, so I was talking about Taika. 860 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,400 So I happened to say, oh, we're going to LA. 861 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:09,000 He says welcome and see me. So he lives literally 200 metres 862 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,560 below the Hollywood sign and Jolly and I were driving up. 863 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,960 That's another thing we do in Belfast, Sir. 864 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:23,840 Give us a call gives a text. Going to the gym and I met him 865 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,560 and we just had it off and I'm hoping I was talking about 866 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,480 dreaming. I'm hoping that that connection 867 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,520 that, you know, not that I'm going to try and, you know, 868 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,160 shoehorn it, but if it works, it works, but. 869 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,080 What about you? Pitch him a movie today, ideally 870 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,080 called Macdomorphine Endomorph, and it's me and you and I don't 871 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,840 know what we're doing, heroes, but we're doing it. 872 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,200 OK? Just send a picture of what 873 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,440 we're wearing right now and say. I'll send him this. 874 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,520 That's not good. But the love, you know, to have 875 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,880 all that sort of, I didn't really know who he was, to be 876 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,440 honest. I like I I'm not really into 877 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,520 those movies and no, me neither. And he's done a lot of those 878 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,200 things. But the kindest, humblest guy 879 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,480 you know, and I, I just want to be around people like see, 880 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,320 coming here today, I, I've, I can't. 881 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,080 I've just.

But we were, we were training 885 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000 them in his gym and the Hollywood sign and Gillian's 886 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,640 like, what on earth are we doing here? 887 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,400 And we were, we were like whispering. 888 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,520 What are we doing? Yeah, it's just a magical but 889 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,720 like we, we went to LA but 12 years ago more. 890 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,600 No, nine years ago. And when you see maybe it's 891 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,240 being from here or whatever, but like when you see that sign 892 00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:50,200 stuff, it's it's magical. Like that's a spiritual kind of 893 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,120 as I'm not Christian, but. Yeah, that's a spiritual. 894 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,600 Kind of thing. Yeah, and even going to Goals 895 00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:00,680 gym, like I I was in Gold's Gym, a friend that I met that we we 896 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,160 stayed in a beautiful place right on the beach. 897 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:08,640 I like I'm thinking Gillian and the kids, what on earth, you 898 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,400 know, we're so blessed to have this opportunity. 899 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,360 I'm walking down the road to Gold's Gym. 900 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,600 It's raining and you know, and I know we love from the showroom, 901 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,960 but I'm flipping owning this and. 902 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,560 You're able to make your content there and you're. 903 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:28,240 Yeah, and I met loads of people and it was funny that they have 904 00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:32,000 these wee things in LA and all those cars with nobody in them. 905 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,520 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Wheel drive. 906 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:34,680 Yeah. And we ordered. 907 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,920 There's these wee buggies, like a wee wheelbarrow that you can 908 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,880 go, my IT skills are terrible, but the kids did it. 909 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,640 And you can go on and order, I don't know, McDonald's or 910 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,120 something. And this wee truck comes to 911 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,440 your, you're walking down Muscle Beach and you see these wee 912 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,200 trucks, you know, like a wee wheelbarrow. 913 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,760 And it's going to somebody's house with like Door Dash or 914 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,240 with, you know, some supplies and. 915 00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,880 That couldn't work here and we stroked straight away. 916 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,600 I mean, I mean you just wait for one, you like you, that's gone. 917 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:10,600 But stroked what was like the, I mean the bikes, the Belfast 918 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,360 bikes. I didn't last year, no. 919 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,120 All of them just end up in the like people were like no, we 920 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,000 can't handle this like I know, but it like that must that must 921 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,320 that's a surreal extent to be working with somebody like that 922 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,160 then. It was just. 923 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,160 It's like the first time when I was doing, started doing like 924 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,480 social media, whatever, the first time you would get a 925 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,560 follow from somebody really well known. 926 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,040 Yeah. You just couldn't believe it. 927 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,440 You couldn't believe it. Like you just sit being like 928 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,560 this is not. I've had a few guys. 929 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:45,960 Johnny Sexton, he's on my plan and earning K was on it as well. 930 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,840 That's not, isn't. It it's good because they're 931 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,400 older guys. Yeah, yeah. 932 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,200 Not that it's just primarily for older guys, but that you know 933 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,160 that they understand that you just can't keep hammering your 934 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,720 body the whole time. And there's a lot. 935 00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:02,720 Do you do Zone 2 stuff? Do you do work in Zone 2? 936 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,960 I wouldn't be a big technical guy. 937 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,040 I just run like I just run. But sometimes zone 2 is when 938 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,920 you're working for a longer duration at a lesser intensity. 939 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,800 Do you mean like weights or cardio? 940 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,360 Or cardio. I do a lot of cardio. 941 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,360 I'll do like if I'm not playing football I would do like 1 like 942 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:24,960 interval Sprint workout, a 5K and then maybe a slow 5K. 943 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,320 Well that's slow. K might be your your, but that 944 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,840 zoom 2 probably should last about 40 minutes. 945 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,960 Right, right, right. I do an R Zoom 2 every day. 946 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,560 But is that about your heart rate? 947 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,680 Because I have a very low heart rate. 948 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,240 Yeah, so you want to be working maybe 65, seven percent of your 949 00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:45,920 heart rate. So it helps to I'm all about she 950 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,160 and just trying to, to bolster my testosterone because guys, we 951 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,840 are driven by our testosterone and I, I get accused of being on 952 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,000 TRT and train and I don't even know what those things are. 953 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:04,560 But I, I try to, to, to maximise my testosterone naturally and I 954 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,960 would get tested from, from time to time and just to see where 955 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,840 you are. So you can have a test between 956 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,160 maybe 6 would be low or 26 would be high. 957 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:18,440 And at my age, I'm sort of on the wing, but I'm not taking 958 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,360 that as gospel. I'm doing everything in my part, 959 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,160 you know, to, to bolster my testosterone and, and when guys 960 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,760 sort of accuse me of being on hall, you can't be in that sort 961 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,920 of condition at at my age, but they don't see the work. 962 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah, have. You ever had your test? 963 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:41,480 Yeah, I did round ox and there I I kind of do it every year and 964 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,440 mine was always like surprisingly higher than I 965 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,040 thought it would be. I don't know why, but like I 966 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,800 think like I I if I see something on tech talk, I just 967 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,920 believe it. OK, so I remember reading the 968 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,480 testosterone thing that's like, oh, if you have like a good 969 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:56,720 hairline, you can't grow a beard. 970 00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:58,840 Like probably a very low testosterone. 971 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,960 Nothing, I just have low testosterone. 972 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,520 Can you not grow beard? I can't grow beard. 973 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,040 I honest. I genuinely cannot, cannot grow 974 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,720 beard you. Need to give. 975 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:12,240 It gets very Asian, Glenn. You know, like a Chinese chain. 976 00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:13,960 Like I know. Yeah, you can. 977 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,680 I don't know what you can't say. No, you can't. 978 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:21,120 I can say it to my face but I I get very like. 979 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,520 Here, Did you not? Did I not see something you were 980 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,000 going to do a Tash? I tried and you know what? 981 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,800 I thought it was brilliant. And then I. 982 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,800 Think it looked decent. I thought it looked good. 983 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,040 We talked about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 984 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,480 Yes, I sent you a message. I like your tosh. 985 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,840 But it just I shouldn't have listened to people. 986 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,440 You have to persevere. No no longer it was going on the 987 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,120 worse it was getting. My hair is quite fair as well, 988 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:46,600 so.

I would do you watch a rebooted 1035 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,920 version of that. I tried to go on it. 1036 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,920 I did ask them but they I said it was too old really I was got 1037 00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:01,400 it because I'm probably fed or now. 1038 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,280 Yeah, I was. Back in the back in the day. 1039 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,440 So that's my ageism, is it? Yeah, I. 1040 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,360 Just have like a we should have like an older guys gladiators. 1041 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,000 But why older guys? What do you mean but? 1042 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:19,080 It's like, but it's not like. It's just things like, you know, 1043 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,960 like the hell the travel leader is not as fast. 1044 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:22,440 Oh. Come. 1045 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,040 On, you know, hang. On for like we because it. 1046 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,360 No, you like, you're going to be me and gladiators, of course, 1047 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,840 but like. But I don't age, you know? 1048 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,800 I said a second ago, I'm probably as fit now. 1049 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,160 Yeah, then I was in my 20s or 30s. 1050 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,760 I think I'm fitter now than I was in. 1051 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,600 I couldn't run, yeah, the way I did back then because I think 1052 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,040 you have natural fitness. Like when I was playing 1053 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,800 football, 16/17/18, You just glide through anything. 1054 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,920 Yeah, and then you have to then work for it. 1055 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,160 But when you have. That baseline? 1056 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,280 That you've worked for yeah, it's way better you. 1057 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,160 Have to be smart as well. Like there's a huge difference 1058 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:02,240 between what I train like in my own sort of bit like grindstone 1059 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,040 and strength and conditioning for football. 1060 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,200 It's it's totally different. You know, you want to be very 1061 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,880 specific and I I worked under a great team at Larne and learned 1062 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,880 a lot that the backroom staff there was amazing guy called 1063 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,360 Michael Boyle and and there's Sheamus and Tiernan and you 1064 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,720 know, for for long to win the league twice and get be the 1065 00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:28,800 first team ever to qualify for group stages. 1066 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,840 What was amazing and I made some good lasting friends. 1067 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,440 Then do. You feel like the players get, a 1068 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,320 lot of them get really into it to the point. 1069 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,920 Does that make you proud of, you know they're going to go on and 1070 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,000 have an interest in this and. You know. 1071 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,440 Not just do it because it's their job. 1072 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,760 You know what? I mean, yeah, if they buy into 1073 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,080 it, you know, we always used to say it's the 1%, you know, it's 1074 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,600 the 1% in your nutrition, in your strength and condition and 1075 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,440 in your recovery and your sleep. You know, all those we 1% and I 1076 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,680 know some of the boys don't like it, but I say primarily I look 1077 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,320 upon them as athletes first and footballers second. 1078 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,320 So if if you're, you know, maximising your full potential 1079 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,320 as an athlete, then as a footballer you're going to, you 1080 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,640 know, excel. Yeah. 1081 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,440 What then? One like when I was putting the 1082 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,880 vest on there. You're saying there's better 1083 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,600 ways I could carry myself? Yeah. 1084 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,720 What are you thinking? Give me some tips. 1085 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,000 I like a walnut. I I have walnuts in in strategic 1086 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,840 places in my body metaphorically, so I always have 1087 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,480 like a walnut in my butt cheeks. Just a. 1088 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,080 How big's a walnut? And it depends, maybe a fee, but 1089 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,720 it's activation. So if I'm going to, we could do 1090 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:50,400 a postural assessment right now. We should bet you my posture is 1091 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,880 terrible. Would you want to do it? 1092 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,040 Yes. OK, let's go. 1093 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:55,600 Do you will you be able to see it? 1094 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,120 OK, Lost your assessment. I bet your mind's awful. 1095 00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:01,520 OK, right. What do I need to do? 1096 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,040 Just. I'll instruct. 1097 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:09,640 You right. So I'm just checked some 1098 00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:11,880 sometimes. Hold on, let me bring this 1099 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,320 right. So is it taps half? 1100 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:24,400 Yeah. See you are you. 1101 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:25,080 See here. You. 1102 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Down there. 1103 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,760 Yeah. Sorry to see I'm not hitting on 1104 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:30,600 you. No, no, no. 1105 00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:34,640 So if you maybe move over a little, OK, So let if if we get 1106 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,560 the mechanics correct at the bottom, 9 times out of 10, it's 1107 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,800 correct at the top. So we just put our hands behind 1108 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,200 her head. Can you stretch up in this 1109 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,600 position without hitting that? OK, so all I want you to do is 1110 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,840 squat. So automatically I'm looking at 1111 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,240 you and there isn't symmetry there. 1112 00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:55,960 So this. Because my lazy eye is and. 1113 00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,840 This is yeah, this is standard. We are sitting, we little. 1114 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,200 OK, so I just want to do a squat ass to the grass like this. 1115 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,000 Yeah, with your arms. My legs any bigger though. 1116 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,280 Well, you see, so that's the path of least resistance when I 1117 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,360 asked you to do a squat. You think this week dudes asking 1118 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,560 me to squat? So I'm going to have to alter my 1119 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,480 my position and to make it easier, right? 1120 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,120 So I'll allow you just to point your toes out very slightly 1121 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:23,640 squat. Shame. 1122 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,360 Go on, go on. Go on, go on. 1123 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,200 OK, Hold. Hold it there. 1124 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,360 So ideally your arms would be away from your peripheral 1125 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,760 vision. Can you OK? 1126 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,440 No, I'll be come. So the hips are good, which 1127 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,680 enables you to get nice and low. Yeah, but because your arms are 1128 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,080 falling forward like that, there's maybe some some issues 1129 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,640 that you have with your shoulders or your spine or your 1130 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,320 your your mid back. I'm soaking. 1131 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:57,600 Because here's the thing, I'm 6 foot but I want honestly I am 1132 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,320 but my my posture is so bad so you can't tell. 1133 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,080 I'm 5-6. Honestly. 1134 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,040 Is that? I mean, I really am. 1135 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,160 I just. I feel like I. 1136 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,680 Stop. You're you're tight. 1137 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:13,960 You have a very pleasing physique. 1138 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,560 Yes, you. Do name of the episode very 1139 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,360 pleasing physique. Can I give you my other present? 1140 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,160 Yes, absolutely. Happy enough for this? 1141 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,960 Yes, I've just been told I have a very pleasing physique. 1142 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,760 I'm never more delighted in my life. 1143 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:38,960 Right, so I have another wee. So I said to you before about my 1144 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,280 passions in life. It's like longevity and being 1145 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,920 from Northern Ireland and one to sort of represent Northern 1146 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,440 Ireland. But this this shirt is very 1147 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:54,760 important to the to me and a lot of the folk folk. 1148 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:59,280 That's a Ballymena thing. This is the new Ballymena 1149 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,160 beautiful shirt. But there's great significance 1150 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:07,840 behind this. OK, this is so this is a memory 1151 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,800 of a young girl called Lydia and her daddy Paul. 1152 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,120 Such a lovely fella. And there's a tragedy on the way 1153 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,400 to 1 of the games. Yeah, I remember that. 1154 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,720 And they're the nicest family. I just. 1155 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:23,840 Thank you very much. It's. 1156 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,040 Not just this shirt. I know we were all right. 1157 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,600 Thank you. It's not. 1158 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,680 It's not just the shirt, it's the mean, it's the meaning 1159 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,120 behind it. It's a lovely thing for the. 1160 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,200 Club it is, you know, do Aqua do at Ballymena? 1161 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,400 We do things well, you know we do. 1162 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,640 I'm an emotional wreck now, but that's. 1163 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,760 That's just a it's a lovely shirt, lovely shirt. 1164 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,960 And the home shirts, lovely too. I mean, I've killed it this 1165 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,440 year. It's nice, isn't it? 1166 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,280 That's nice. Round your arms too. 1167 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,600 So when you got decent biceps, I find them a bit difficult when I 1168 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,200 get those bad boys. Me too. 1169 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,200 No, but that's that's a lovely meaning behind the shirt. 1170 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,480 I remember that happening and yeah, thank you very much. 1171 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,720 I I did it. You sent about Ballymena thing, 1172 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,040 you know, doing things right and stuff. 1173 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,320 I did a gig for Ballymena, right? 1174 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,360 Pretty much hospitality thing. Normally I don't do that because 1175 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,080 I'm a firm believer that like, stand up should be in a comedy 1176 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,840 club, the best way to enjoy it. And when you do it outside of 1177 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,960 that, it's not really the right environment that I'm like, I 1178 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,880 think people love the idea of it, but I don't know what to 1179 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,400 want. But yeah, when it comes to 1180 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,080 David, Jeffrey was manager at the time I went in. 1181 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:44,480 I'd say the average age was 100 and and they were having a meal 1182 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,080 and then they stopped and then we're going to have some stand 1183 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,160 up comedy. It was one of the worst I've 1184 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:52,960 ever done you. Can hear pen drop do? 1185 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,160 You know what it was? It was just I kind of approached 1186 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,400 it wrong. It wasn't that they didn't want 1187 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,520 comedy. They just want that I think an 1188 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,440 older style of comedy or something. 1189 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:08,200 And at that age, it was maybe it was 8 years ago or something. 1190 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,280 I probably didn't have the experience to be able to just 1191 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,760 read the room and adapt to whatever they needed. 1192 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,080 I was just doing what I had been doing, Yeah. 1193 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,680 So I get flashbacks to that. Well, maybe get your back I'll. 1194 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,720 Go back to the showgrounds and avenge it. 1195 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,600 We'll set the the scene a bit more. 1196 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,680 Yeah, yeah. A bit more receptive to you. 1197 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I, but I think I'm more 1198 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,920 experienced. And again, going full circle, 1199 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,280 the talk about being comfortable in your own skin. 1200 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,760 Back then I was not that I wasn't uncomfortable skin. 1201 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,960 Now I'm way more relaxed and I would trust myself to be able to 1202 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,320 bring it around more. Whereas back then I just. 1203 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,040 Couldn't you were saying about you don't really plan sort of 1204 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,040 ambition and goals and stuff? No, I used to. 1205 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,920 I used to be, I would, this is what I want to do this year. 1206 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,080 And then I realised that the industry I'm in is so 1207 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,920 unpredictable. Yeah, the you could write out 1208 01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:03,560 these goals, but chances are not in a defeat this way, but 1209 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,160 they're not going to work out like that just because 1210 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,080 everything things change every week. 1211 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,200 So do I want to write out five goals that I'm going to not 1212 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,320 succeed in? So I have an idea always of what 1213 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,560 I want to be doing, but I'm I prefer to just work hard and 1214 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,080 trust the good things will happen instead of setting any 1215 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,880 goals. And it's still feel like I 1216 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,000 would, I would consider myself ambitious, but I don't have 1217 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,800 specific goals in mind. It's more as things crop up, I 1218 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,160 go, well, that might be good, you know? 1219 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:36,000 I have some specific goals that I and that doesn't mean to say I 1220 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,680 just not I nothing just lands on your lap. 1221 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,320 Yeah, you know you're a worker. I'm I've always been a worker 1222 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,400 trying to instil that in my kids. 1223 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,840 But Mike, I would love to try and do something in the States, 1224 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,680 try and have a couple of connections at the moment and 1225 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,880 working on different things, but sort of behind the scenes. 1226 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,400 But I think in the past as well, you probably, you get so excited 1227 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,320 and this is going to happen and then when it doesn't, you know, 1228 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,080 it's a bit of a kick in the. Absolutely. 1229 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,760 Yeah. And anytime you speak to someone 1230 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,640 you had a meeting about something in my head, I was 1231 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,200 like, this is. And I tell people, you know, and 1232 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,600 then you set yourself up for failure. 1233 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,520 Can hold your own faith in. I thought you were sent over my 1234 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,000 neck. When you looked at my neck, I 1235 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,080 was like, I don't even. Support it. 1236 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,480 I'm a bit like that. I can't hold me on, you know I 1237 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,640 want it. I've got an idea. 1238 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,400 Well. I think we should do. 1239 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:39,400 I could see us doing ATV series where we do like a fitness quest 1240 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,680 thing. For example, in November I'm 1241 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,280 thinking about doing the Tenerife half marathon, but I've 1242 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,720 never done anything like that before. 1243 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:54,360 So we pick like 4 things and you know, you're like helping me do 1244 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,640 it. You serious? 1245 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,880 Yeah, because I got it when I did that 5K thing. 1246 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,680 I love a guy called Robbie Heegan, like who's a runner, 1247 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,840 paced me for it. And then I was able to do it 1248 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,120 because he looked at me and was like, send them a Strava time 1249 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,800 because I was doing like 20 minutes, 3 seconds, 20 minutes, 1250 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,080 9 seconds, Right. Yeah. 1251 01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,400 He's like, you just need to pace it. 1252 01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,000 Yeah. And then I did it. 1253 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,080 I love to do. So I'm like, yeah, I'm now 1254 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,000 thinking like, what else can I do if I'm paced? 1255 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,440 We I broke. Olympics. 1256 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:29,520 A Guinness World Record and I pushed a wheelbarrow the whole 1257 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,560 way around Northern Ireland, he laughed. 1258 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,800 So it's a legitimate record. Took us a week. 1259 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,800 I'm not doubting, I'm not doubting your record, but like, 1260 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,800 had anyone tried to do it? No. 1261 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,080 Right. Haven't tried since. 1262 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,480 Did you come? What year was this? 1263 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,880 And this was about maybe 10-9 years ago. 1264 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,400 So isn't my training partner at the time he was in the 1265 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:56,000 wheelbarrow, he was like 100 kilogrammes and I'm like 75 1266 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,760 kilogrammes. So I pushed him for a mile, then 1267 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,760 we swapped, I pushed, he pushed me for a mile the whole way 1268 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,440 around Northern. Ireland If the record hadn't 1269 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,040 existed before, why did someone need to be in the wheelbarrow? 1270 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,320 I would have just said did you ring them and go I'll push my 1271 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,640 mate round and wheelbarrow. You should have just had a push 1272 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,000 wheelbarrow and you could add nothing it. 1273 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,760 Well, there was some slightly different sort of nuances in the 1274 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,160 record, but we pushed for 14 hours a day. 1275 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:21,960 We're doing it for charity, Right, Right, right. 1276 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:26,480 It was really difficult, it was. Like to push someone wheelbarrow 1277 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,840 round the whole country? Yeah, you know, the six 1278 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:30,960 counties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1279 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,440 You know. I'd say that would be hard. 1280 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,560 Can't remember what was that way that way anyway. 1281 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,840 And are you in the book? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1282 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,640 Well, there might have been a discrepancy with. 1283 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,360 You had an engine on one of the. Stages. 1284 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,160 We didn't maybe calculate 1 of the stages and it was 1285 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,840 scrutinised but everyone. Was a wee guy with you the whole 1286 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,360 time for. Why We had a big support 1287 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:51,840 network. Nobody from the Guinness Book of 1288 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,200 Records. That they, it was the guy who 1289 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,720 was organising it for it. He was about ropeway to be 1290 01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,280 honest. And we, we were a bit raging 1291 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,320 afterwards, you know, has this been validated? 1292 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,760 Oh, we're working on it. But we had to get the Parades 1293 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,840 Commission and all day, you know, to walk on the roads, you 1294 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,440 know, with the wheelbarrow. We had to get the the PSNI to 1295 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,840 allow us to. Why were people kicking off with 1296 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,960 that? It was just, it's like a March 1297 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,120 or whatever. Oh right, yeah I was going to 1298 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,880 say what colour was the wizard colours on the wheelbarrow or 1299 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,120 anything? Well, actually got the 1300 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,880 wheelbarrow stolen. We were parked in the place 1301 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,080 outside Newcastle and we woke up in the morning like a 5:00 and 1302 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:31,760 someone did nick the wheelbarrow so I had to get under and the 1303 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,880 DIY some DIY shop and get a new wheelbarrow. 1304 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,320 Only in. Northern Ireland. 1305 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,560 God. Smart. 1306 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,800 Is there any other records you'd like to break? 1307 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:48,080 There's a, there's a yes, there's a record, and I love my 1308 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:49,200 CrossFit. Yes. 1309 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,200 And there's a record and it's called a Toda bar exercise when 1310 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,880 you hang from a bar and you touch the bar with your toes and 1311 01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,280 it's all core and grip and I'm half decent at it. 1312 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:07,400 And I think the record is 1000 in the R So I would like, I'm 1313 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,240 always challenging myself. I would like to have a crack at 1314 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,760 that and see how that goes. I can't take you seriously. 1315 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,840 Send those glasses on. Have any other presents for you? 1316 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,680 I wherever, wherever I go, I always have food with me. 1317 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,760 Yes, yes, you have food in your pocket. 1318 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:24,760 Quite a bit. I take like potatoes in my 1319 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,680 pocket or. I'll take a gluten free pocket 1320 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,680 bop quite a few places. You do? 1321 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,720 Oh, do you do bread? Do gluten free bread 1322 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,440 occasionally. Is it not still bread? 1323 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,120 Yeah. OK. 1324 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,760 Would you like one of my little meals in my pocket? 1325 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,960 And I get out of your pocket. It hasn't been in my pocket yet. 1326 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,160 No, but I don't want to. It's pardon. 1327 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:48,280 I don't want it from your pocket. 1328 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,440 No, it hasn't been in my pocket yet. 1329 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,240 OK, right. What is it? 1330 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:56,840 You must you go through some tinfoil, Glenn. 1331 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,120 Latte. That's another thing I got used 1332 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:00,960 online. Oh, because of the environment. 1333 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:05,680 Tinfoil police, plastic police, every type of police out there. 1334 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,200 Micro plastics. We did a gig recently and used 1335 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,960 an 8. We did a gig on less than 24 1336 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,360 hours. Noticed me and a friend last 1337 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,440 night. My mate called get us and he was 1338 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,760 like I'll just fire up a poster here and used AI for the poster. 1339 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,479 Just normally we do like big proper design posters. 1340 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,080 Yeah, it was like a gig on very short notice. 1341 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,479 Seen him with the people. Well apparently we've wrecked 1342 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,120 the environment. Me and Colin. 1343 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,840 We've also got rid of the world's water because they need 1344 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,880 water to cool down the AI data centres, so every time you do 1345 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,319 something like this, you use up a lot of water so you know who 1346 01:08:42,319 --> 01:08:45,040 to blame for the world. Mike, I just listen me. 1347 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,720 You know what? What are China doing? 1348 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,920 You know, I think the emissions and in China alone, you know 1349 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:58,960 what with me putting tinfoil in my bops, you know, saving right 1350 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:00,840 so well. They're the number one and #2 1351 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,160 causes of pollution. What tinfoil? 1352 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:08,040 Your tinfoil and his emissions. So here it's probably a bit 1353 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:12,960 pungent but I love Littles. Littles is my favourite shop and 1354 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,800 I get everything in littles. These are Littles skinny 1355 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,240 burgers. OK. 1356 01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:21,000 You better eat it because I'm starving. 1357 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,120 They're cold. I put them in the active fire 1358 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,880 this morning at 5:00. There's maybe still a wee bit of 1359 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:36,319 warmth on them, is that not? See, I don't really like upon 1360 01:09:36,319 --> 01:09:38,319 Food is pleasure. And here's another thing. 1361 01:09:38,359 --> 01:09:39,880 Well, yeah, I brought you. There's some. 1362 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,359 Thank you. Just a bag of broccoli, so. 1363 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:45,600 Will you just, will you just get straight into that? 1364 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,520 Why will you wash it? No making shirts. 1365 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,399 See the So here's my quandary about the burger. 1366 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:56,680 We'd love you to join us for lunch. 1367 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,080 We go for lunch after all the podcasts. 1368 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,200 If you have time, we'd love you to come to Joxer and Hollywood 1369 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:01,520 for lunch. Where that's going? 1370 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,400 To I was going to get a burger. Were you? 1371 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,680 So I don't know if I can have a cold burger. 1372 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,160 And the other one. Yeah, OK. 1373 01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:13,320 Is there gluten in this? I'm not too sure to be honest. 1374 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,840 I I don't know. I wouldn't risk it then I don't 1375 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,520 want you dropping your your cocks. 1376 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,520 So there's a certain amount of protein that I try to get every 1377 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,000 day right for, for my body weight, right. 1378 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,240 So I'm about like 170 grammes a cup. 1379 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:32,520 Broccoli man, by the way. Good. 1380 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:42,520 I'm I'm 170 grammes in weight. Sorry, grammes, I'm A170170. 1381 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,400 Times you should put Ginsburg record back. 1382 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,480 Another one it wouldn't be validated and man. 1383 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:56,400 So I try to eat 100. And. 70 what you put me off now, 1384 01:10:57,480 --> 01:11:01,680 so I'm 170 lbs. So I try to eat at least 170 1385 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,760 grammes of protein and probably in one of those burgers there's 1386 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:11,760 maybe 35 or something like that. So protein for me helps me to 1387 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,320 recover and I don't do a lot of carbs. 1388 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:20,000 I do things like figs and dates and like apricots and. 1389 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,720 What's the worst fitness thing people are doing at the minute 1390 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,480 that you look at and despair, whether it's a trend, A dietary 1391 01:11:26,480 --> 01:11:29,440 type thing, Is there anything you look at and go, just 1392 01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:32,200 personal opinion, you're going we shouldn't be doing that. 1393 01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:35,920 Well, OK, I just, I don't like quick fixes. 1394 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:41,520 I don't like, you know, before and afters a lot of the time and 1395 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:46,920 because let's be honest, quick fixes do work for a short time, 1396 01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,800 but it's that continuity, it's that consistency. 1397 01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:54,840 You know, it's you could starve someone, you know, for for 12 1398 01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:59,200 weeks and, you know, slap a lot of time on them and, you know, 1399 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,240 stand in a nice light and, you know, a before and after you're 1400 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,120 going to look good. But I worry about what happens, 1401 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:11,040 you know, after we 14 weeks 15 and do you put that back on in 1402 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,640 spades? You know, I love CrossFit and 1403 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:18,960 that that would be my I think the functionality in CrossFit is 1404 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,720 great. Where do you stand on Ozempic? 1405 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,520 On one journal? And again, it's obviously a 1406 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,560 personal opinion. I'm not asking you for the 1407 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,360 bottom line on it, but just what it What do you think about? 1408 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,560 I just worry what happens when you stop. 1409 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:38,840 Yeah, You know, I probably don't know enough about it, but I I 1410 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:43,920 believe nothing beats hard work. Nothing beats, you know, just 1411 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,840 day. And I know it's, it's it's 1412 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,160 boring. Yeah, yeah, but boring works, 1413 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,640 you know, day in, day out, day in, week after week, month after 1414 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,200 month. I'm just being organised. 1415 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:57,200 Like I'm, I'm always organised. So I've got my stuff with me. 1416 01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:58,880 I've got my water, I've got my broccoli. 1417 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,760 I'll always be organised. That's, that's another thing 1418 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,240 again. I love fudge. 1419 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:12,480 Pardon, what is that? Faij, you don't look at me like 1420 01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:13,520 that. What is Faij? 1421 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:22,040 Faij is well, I I Faij. What is it? 1422 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,280 It's yoghurt. It's natural yoghurt. 1423 01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:27,680 But I can't. You're supposed to ever like in 1424 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,120 the comments. That's not how you pronounce it. 1425 01:13:30,480 --> 01:13:36,600 It's faije faije. It's sweeties or something, but 1426 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:44,480 I call it flash. Do you know what flash is at 1427 01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:45,000 the? Start. 1428 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,440 I did not know where it was going. 1429 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,680 I didn't know what it. Was FAG with one of those? 1430 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:54,320 With the we Scandinavian dot. I yeah, I think you can get it. 1431 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,160 It's really expensive, right? It's about favour. 1432 01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,200 See the show? I can't have Berry either. 1433 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,840 No dairy, no gluten. Right, OK. 1434 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,040 It's a nightmare. That's a bummer. 1435 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,280 Yeah, but you should read I don't know whether you might get 1436 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:13,320 a dairy free Faiz. See as a, as a final thing, as 1437 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,200 a, as a final thing, right. First of all, can you, can you 1438 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,600 not come for lunch with us? Because are you very particular 1439 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,400 on what you eat and on the menu there won't be. 1440 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,920 I would love to come to lunch. I would love. 1441 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,360 That I'm going to tell you what I have for breakfast every day 1442 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,400 and how I've had for the last 10 years, and I want you to assess 1443 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:42,280 it for me. 10 years. Yeah, porridge says 4 spoonfuls 1444 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:47,480 heat 6 at least bang into a pot. No microwaves here. 1445 01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:49,360 Pot, pot. Skate. 1446 01:14:50,440 --> 01:14:52,800 Unsweetened almond milk. Quality. 1447 01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,960 Mix that up. Get it on a 7 out of 10 heat. 1448 01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,640 Just start stirring that gently. Get the blue breeze in. 1449 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:07,240 Oh good, mix it on the side. Big banana, cut it up. 1450 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,800 Here's my technique. Cut it in small slices and then 1451 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:15,880 in three length waist that goes into the bowl in preparation to 1452 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,480 meet the porridge. So the banana goes in at the 1453 01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:20,640 bottom. Bananas in the bottom there so. 1454 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,080 It's sort of melts and yes, becomes. 1455 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:29,000 Yes, as it goes on at the consistency changes, so get it 1456 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,400 cooked. The porridge, the almond milk 1457 01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:34,480 and the blueberries go on top of the banana. 1458 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:41,120 Big thing of almond butter all mixed in every day in my life. 1459 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,440 That's cool. What do you think of that for 1460 01:15:42,440 --> 01:15:45,120 breakfast? It's obviously working for you. 1461 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,600 You know you, you know you're tight, you're wrapped. 1462 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,520 I don't do oats. Right. 1463 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,240 Or pasta or rice. But that's that's. 1464 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,400 I'm a big rice guy. I love my whole grain rice. 1465 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,000 But you're maybe going. I encourage the boys and the 1466 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,200 players to eat those types of carbs, but I go with more. 1467 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:07,560 So like the likes of dates, figs and pineapple. 1468 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,880 I would eat a lot more fat. I'd probably eat about 120 1469 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,040 grammes of fat. You know, avocados and the egg 1470 01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,320 yolks I love. All them but I don't eat enough 1471 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:18,120 of it all. Probably there I got bought 1472 01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:19,560 dates for the first time but a month ago. 1473 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:20,640 Brilliant. I like them. 1474 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,600 They're they're really toffee and other gorgeous. 1475 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,400 I used to eat a lot of oats and things like that, but I just try 1476 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:33,200 to sort of maximise my carbs and minimise them in different 1477 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,120 times. It's just we we techniques, but 1478 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,600 for you she and that that's that's fantastic. 1479 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,400 But I need to I need to bulk up a wee bit. 1480 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,960 Do you know what protein you, how much you take in a day? 1481 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,880 I don't know. Yeah, that's that's important. 1482 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,960 Free Spirit. But if, if, if you want to go on 1483 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,640 a on a sort of a journey, you need to sort of know where you 1484 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,560 are at the start so that you can, you know, you can a lot 1485 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,920 more like. Fish, chicken, Turkey, all that 1486 01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:58,480 stuff. I love it. 1487 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,760 You probably are hitting. We're probably similar weight 1488 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:06,240 actually. 74. I'm 74 kilos, but you're 6 feet 1489 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:12,680 and I'm people ask me online. I, I, I don't mind asking or 1490 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,240 sort of replying to, to messages, but when they just say 1491 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:19,640 hate question mark that, that, that annoys me a wee bit. 1492 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:20,640 It's. Not conversation. 1493 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,400 No hate question mark and so I think most of my followers think 1494 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,200 I'm 458. See the way everyone's like, oh, 1495 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,720 you got to be on steroids, Here's the difference to me. 1496 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,560 And you see, if I was you ever like, well, I think I'm on it 1497 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,360 anyway. Boom, I get them in. 1498 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,200 I'd be going for it. I like you think. 1499 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,760 I'm doing it anyway. And I don't make any judgement 1500 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,680 or you know, I don't judge anyone if they want to go down 1501 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,200 that route. I just haven't went down that 1502 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,880 route. And like I normally say, listen 1503 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:51,040 mate, I'm not going to have this bunts if I'm on gear and I get 1504 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,000 asked about my I don't know why I can. 1505 01:17:58,280 --> 01:17:59,960 Nipples. Do you have big nails? 1506 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,840 I didn't think it did. People think you do have tiny 1507 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,840 nipples. People think that what do you 1508 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,000 do? People think you've had worked 1509 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,400 on. What do you do if your nipples? 1510 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,480 I said mate. You do nipple work. 1511 01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:15,520 Come on. I don't know. 1512 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:17,960 I don't know. I show you then tied to the back 1513 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:22,280 of your car. My dad had steroids once. 1514 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,720 Yeah. He did, mate. 1515 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,120 Serious. Yeah, just once. 1516 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,600 Like I think I have to save me. Let me give. 1517 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,320 This you have to do it more than once. 1518 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,400 For Oh no, I think yeah, but I think you didn't like the 1519 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,400 process of doing it. I stick it in the eye. 1520 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,920 No, I don't think that's how you took it. 1521 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,920 Oh, say right, right, right. OK, I get your. 1522 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,920 Job I have to ask him if you're right, it'll be all right. 1523 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:49,400 You're going to come for lunch with us. 1524 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,800 You're we obviously put it in the description, but look, it's 1525 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,520 it's a giant anyway, people will have seen it, will know it. 1526 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,480 Grindstone Foundation. Dot com. 1527 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,760 Dot com. That's that's my website, but my 1528 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:06,080 grindstone foundation is, is just my my Instagram. 1529 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:10,120 But you get you get a bit more abuse on tech talk than you do. 1530 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,560 Maybe it's young or something. I think it's younger people and 1531 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,080 there's people flicking through more instead of going directly 1532 01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:17,960 for your thing because they like it. 1533 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:23,040 I'm thinking about trying to do a bit of a subscription and I 1534 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,520 check. I think I do get asked a lot for 1535 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,280 that, that other thing, you know? 1536 01:19:29,480 --> 01:19:30,560 Only fans, Yeah. Yeah. 1537 01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,120 Yeah, yeah. So I get asked what what's your 1538 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,960 OF and it took me away telling what is this OF keep coming up. 1539 01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,520 But I think they're trying to come on the mainstream. 1540 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,360 Right, right. But I don't know whether that 1541 01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:45,960 that sort of platform would would sort of work. 1542 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:47,520 What was what's? What's your thoughts? 1543 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,840 I think, I think it was massive. And then I haven't heard about 1544 01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:57,920 it in what phase a year. So I don't know if it's I don't 1545 01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,680 know. I don't think if you don't want 1546 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,360 to sell your socks, I don't think you need any fun. 1547 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:04,560 OK. Stay away from that. 1548 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,080 But thank you so much for coming down. 1549 01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,560 It was great to meet you because obviously I'm seeing your stuff, 1550 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:10,960 but it was like, I want to meet this guy. 1551 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,000 But hopefully I'm the same one that we scream and I'm here. 1552 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,000 100% and I knew that would be the case. 1553 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,440 I knew that would be the case.
