1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Oh, yeah. 
I'm Barry Moran, and you're 

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,280
listening to Mayor, we're back. 
How we Lance Con Morch here. 

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,960
Mayor, we're back. 
Look at guys, you're listening 

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,840
to one of the best podcasts I've
ever heard. 

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,120
It's mayor. 
We're back. 

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,960
Angelina Nugent speaking. 
Just wanted to say we're. 

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Back, I know PJ Kim Jong Un and 
welcome to the Mayor Back 

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,520
podcast. 
How do Pope Francis here? 

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,080
Mayor, we're back, Mayor, we're 
fucking back. 

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,760
Let them say what they like 
about Mayo people, but Mayo 

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,560
supporters are the best borders.
In the world. 

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,000
Well, hello there folks. 
You're very welcome back to the 

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Mayo our Back podcast. 
It's a very special equation 

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,760
here today on the show as we are
going to be announcing our 

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,280
decision that we have spent the 
last number of weeks deciding 

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,080
about. 
I'm not alone today, folks, I'm 

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,879
joined by a very special man, a 
man who's known across the 

18
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,880
length and breadth of Mayo and 
even further afield than that. 

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840
That man's name is Fat Larry. 
Fat Larry, It would be 

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,760
reminiscent of me not to say at 
this early stage of the podcast,

21
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,920
how do. 
How do TJ, how do everyone? 

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,760
You're very welcome back to the 
Mayo or Back podcast, the latest

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,960
instalment. 
It might be the last one. 

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,800
It might be the beginning of 
many more. 

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640
We don't know. 
I don't even know. 

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,680
Umm, we're going to be making a 
decision today, folks, during 

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160
the course of this show. 
I don't even know myself what 

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,320
the decision is yet. 
We will leave that in the 

29
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,120
capable hands of TJ here, who's 
got a he's got a little brown 

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,880
box in front of him and the 
decision is actually inside 

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920
that. 
So we've obviously spent huge 

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,720
amounts of time over the last 
couple of weeks thinking about 

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440
the decision and, you know, 
analyzing the decision and 

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,720
spending with each other's 
families, which I must say has 

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,840
been a lovely experience. 
It's been very, very nice just 

36
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,360
to take a step back and to kind 
of take a look at oneself and to

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,240
sort of weigh up the options and
just sort of geneflect and I 

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,960
suppose resurrect some old 
memories and some old podcasts 

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,720
from years gone by. 
To just sort of weigh up how far

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
we've come and indeed how good 
this summer has been from a 

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,760
Mayo, GA perspective. 
Absolutely, we had our finest 

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,640
hour this summer as some of you 
may remember the Mayo Men's 

43
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:32,360
Gaelic Senior Football 
Championship team who played in 

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,080
the All Ireland final that was 
in Croke Park, Dublin. 

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,760
This year At the unorthodox 
throw in time of 3:30 PM, we did

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,640
in fact come out on top on that 
particular equation. 

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,240
And that made us pose the large 
question to ourselves, is this 

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,200
it for me or back? 
Have we achieved everything that

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,880
we want to achieve in the 
wonderful game of life? 

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Shall we now just ascend up into
the heavens? 

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,440
But you know, we have spent that
time reassessing ourselves and 

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,120
reinserting ourselves. 
It was wonderful to spend so 

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,120
much time in Fat Larry's family,
as I'm sure it was wonderful for

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,560
him to spend many, many, many 
hours inside of mine. 

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,840
But we have decided to announce 
on today's podcast the decision 

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,360
that we have made whether or 
which way regarding to whether 

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,280
or whichever which way we may be
continuing on in the podcast 

58
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,320
game, going from strength to 
strength or hanging up our 

59
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,840
little podcasting boots. 
Yes. 

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,400
And that decision, of course, 
will reveal itself, I suppose 

61
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480
it's fair to say over the course
of this evening's show, there is

62
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,200
a tremendous amount of things 
that we want to get stuck into 

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600
in the meantime and an awful lot
of different topics that have 

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,400
come up over the last couple of 
weeks. 

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Since Mayo won their first All 
Ireland Senior Football 

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Championship in 75 years, it's 
been absolutely tremendous. 

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,240
You know, I've spent the last 
month or so just absolutely bet 

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,160
into my phone just looking at 
the same videos all over again 

69
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,400
and, you know, listening to Andy
Moran talk to every single media

70
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
outlet in the country. 
It would have been nice of him 

71
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,040
to have spoken to this 
particular umm news corps Bush 

72
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Ha haven't said that. 
You know, it's been just amazing

73
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,160
just to relive it and to rewatch
it over and over again. 

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,440
It, it just kind of never ceases
to amaze me how exciting it was 

75
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
on that equation. 
And I suppose the fact that 

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200
we've probably wanted to win in 
all Ireland for such a long time

77
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,960
is it probably hasn't quite sunk
in yet. 

78
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000
I don't think it'll sink in now 
for many months as to what we've

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,200
achieved this summer. 
Well, in fact, it goes back 75 

80
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400
years, fact Larry, to the last 
time that Mayo won the 

81
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,200
particular trophy, the Sammy 
Guire Cup, to see that being 

82
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:02,040
paraded high around the county 
on that open top bus at every 

83
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640
single homecoming event that we 
were there for. 

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,480
And you know, it took a while 
for us eventually to be welcomed

85
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,120
in behind the gate, as it were. 
But I know that I spent a 

86
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,600
wonderful evening in the company
of Manger, Andy Moran and ET al.

87
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,640
I was introduced to Daddy Pally 
as well as Meals on Wheels who I

88
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,440
was totally awestruck to meet. 
He also had the ever nutritious 

89
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,040
Evan Regain, who's been getting 
a lot of praise in many quarters

90
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520
for his impact on the Mayo team 
this season. 

91
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,120
I know you yourself, Fat Larry, 
you were, I suppose, harassed is

92
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,120
not the correct word, but you 
were definitely touched by a lot

93
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,120
of the Mayo players on your way 
up Krovpatrick. 

94
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,880
Yes, it was definitely an outer 
body experience on the on the 

95
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,960
day for myself and you know, a 
very kind of a divine and holy 

96
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,600
experience heading up Kro 
Patrick. 

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,360
For anyone listening who has 
taken part in that particular 

98
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,880
pilgrimage during their life. 
You can only imagine, you know, 

99
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,320
the feelings going through a 
Mayo inbred's head to be walking

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,880
up the rake and to be meted by 
umm are to be met by a number of

101
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,760
male players. 
And I think it was fair to say 

102
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,640
that the those players on the 
day were very, very happy to 

103
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
meet me, which was, you know, 
very, very nice. 

104
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,480
A number of them were very 
polite. 

105
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,920
They asked for photos and they 
asked for umm little well wishes

106
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,960
for their family members and I, 
I signed a couple of autographs 

107
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,400
on the day as well. 
It was Absolutely Fabulous. 

108
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,360
You know, great to get hands on 
the Sammy Guire though going up 

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,120
Krill Patrick. 
You know, it was one of those 

110
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,760
sort of very special male 
experiences, you know, where two

111
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,640
of our, our great love 
obsessions here in the county, 

112
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Crow Patrick and Sam McGuire 
came together and, and 

113
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,640
manifested themselves in such a,
I suppose in such a visceral 

114
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,160
way. 
And it was very, very 

115
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,360
overwhelming. 
I cried for many hours When I 

116
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,600
got home to my, to my house, I, 
I kind of closed the curtains 

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,720
and I, I just started, kept 
looking at the photos over and 

118
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,840
over again. 
And I've just been manifesting 

119
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:08,800
myself, umm, an awful lot. 
I have come down with a bad dose

120
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,520
of Mayo fever as well, TJ, it's 
fair to say, you know, umm, I 

121
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,200
actually, umm, don't think I 
ever suffered from Mayo fever as

122
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,680
long as I've been talking about 
it here. 

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Show. 
I had, umm, a very, very bad 

124
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,920
dose last week where I had this 
recurring dream for a number of 

125
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,760
nights that umm, all of the 
elderly people of Mayo were all 

126
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,200
walking around, umm, town with, 
uh, various replicas of the Sam 

127
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,000
McGuire, umm, And as things 
became more feverish, they began

128
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,080
to sort of fight with each other
and try and take the Sam 

129
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Mcguires off each other. 
And it was just a very sort of a

130
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920
feverish experience. 
It went on for two or three 

131
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,440
nights, but I'm over it now. 
And I have to say that I I it's 

132
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,880
definitely given me a newfound 
appreciation for what the Common

133
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Mayo inbred has been going 
through for many years now. 

134
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,600
And I will step in as your dream
analysis therapist for one 

135
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
second, Fat Larry, and just 
maybe suggest that what you're 

136
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,760
experiencing there is quite 
common. 

137
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,680
A few people have been in touch 
with the page saying they're 

138
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120
going through the same sort of 
dreams at the moment. 

139
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,560
What you have there is the male 
half bakes during the night time

140
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040
visiting you and turning on each
other. 

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240
And I think that is what we're 
set to see over the next few 

142
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,400
weeks with the the growing 
schisms and the chasms that are 

143
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,240
about to place take place in the
Mayo Club Championship, which we

144
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,000
will, you know, cover if we get 
the opportunity to talk about it

145
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
on today's show. 
Perhaps we could review and 

146
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,679
preview some of the the big 
fixtures that are taking place 

147
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,440
in that particular competition. 
Right now, though, we need to 

148
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,440
talk about some much more 
pressing topics. 

149
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,040
For example, you know, we need 
to address the the large, ER, 

150
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,440
elephant in the room about the 
fact that we have been 

151
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,280
experiencing complete radio 
silence and a Total Media 

152
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,240
blackout at Mayo. 
We're back headquarters. 

153
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Over the past month, we were 
cracked down on by Spotify and 

154
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,880
the powers that be who allegedly
apparently have deemed us to 

155
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,160
have used copyrighted music in 
the past. 

156
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,280
That to me is an incredible 
insult. 

157
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,440
And we told them straight to 
their faces. 

158
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
We were lawyered up and ready to
go, baby. 

159
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600
And we're not going to turn down
a battle or a fight in that 

160
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,320
regard. 
No, definitely not. 

161
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520
I think if this summer has 
taught us anything, TJ, it's 

162
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,440
that, you know, you have to roll
your sleeves up, you have to 

163
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,800
roll your chest out and you have
to sort of, you know, give a 

164
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,880
give the, you know, as good as 
you can get. 

165
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200
And we're definitely doing that.
We're taking on the, the, the, 

166
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,760
the giant that is Spotify. 
And it's fair to say that up to 

167
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720
now we're be, uh, you know, 
getting our arses handed to us 

168
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,800
in that equation. 
But we are, you know, showing a 

169
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
lot of bravery and a lot of 
steely toughness. 

170
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,600
Like our male boys have taught 
us over the last couple of years

171
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,560
that, you know, just when things
might be looking at their worst 

172
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,800
and they might be looking very 
bleak, that, you know, that's, 

173
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
uh, gives you an opportunity to 
just, you know, really dig your 

174
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,160
heels in. 
And that's what we've been 

175
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160
doing. 
We've been sending a number of 

176
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,280
emails and text messages to some
well known artists around the 

177
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,520
world, people like Mijo Jackson 
and Florence and the Machine and

178
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,760
the Saw doctors who have been, 
umm, not very accommodating 

179
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
towards us so far. 
But it's something that we will 

180
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,640
persist with and we will hope 
that over the coming days and 

181
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,840
weeks that an olive branch will 
be extended and the, I suppose 

182
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,280
the tremendous work that we have
put in over the last number of 

183
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,600
years here will be, uh, 
appreciated and returned to us. 

184
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,320
We have that new sort of vim and
vigor on this podcast and all 

185
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,840
around the county. 
You can feel it. 

186
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,960
You know, since Jack Coyne stood
up there and he said stick your 

187
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
chestine out, I think I'd add to
it as well. 

188
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,080
In fact, Larry, I'd say stick 
your ashen out. 

189
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,320
No problem with that behavior 
whatsoever. 

190
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,720
And as Andy Moran told us, you 
know, let's not be afraid here 

191
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,360
to shake our nuts. 
Let's show them what we got, 

192
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,520
swing our Mickeys wherever we go
and be proud to be male folk 

193
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600
because it's a wonderful, 
wonderful time to be from male. 

194
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,400
We must give a big how do and a 
large thank you to all of the 

195
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,400
gentlemen in Fontaine's DC for 
approving us their music to be 

196
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280
played in our podcast. 
We have to say just a huge how 

197
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,080
do and an up male to all those 
boys. 

198
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,800
And we for one hope to see them 
playing that gig in Mikhail 

199
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Parke. 
You know, we've had Mass there, 

200
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,520
we've had Connacht's Rugby 
there, we've had the the 

201
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400
homecoming of the century there.
I really think the next logical 

202
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,960
step for us would be to have 
that sort of rock music equation

203
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,400
in Mikhail Parke. 
Oh. 

204
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Absolutely. 
TGI think it's long overdue. 

205
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,720
It's something that, you know, 
we really need to look into now 

206
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,920
over the next little while. 
I mean, the Mayo players have 

207
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,920
clearly shown as well that they 
have got a lot of musical talent

208
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,560
and a lot of hidden skills which
we never knew about. 

209
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:04,200
I mean, I'm sure the Peter 
Aikens and the MCDS of this 

210
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200
world will be looking at their 
performances that, you know, 

211
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,880
guys like Ed No Shea, guys like 
Seamus Howard, umm, you know, 

212
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,360
guys like umm, you know, Donald 
Drake put on, uh, during the 

213
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,040
course of those, umm, you know, 
tremendous celebrations which 

214
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200
traversed the county in the week
after the final. 

215
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,680
And, you know, maybe Sheamus or 
maybe even Aiden O'Shea could 

216
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,240
come on as maybe a support act 
to the solid actors or to 

217
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,160
Fontaine's DC or maybe even to 
Metallica or whoever is 

218
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,280
interested in coming to Mikhail 
Parikh for that particular 

219
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,000
equation. 
You know, you might even have, 

220
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,880
you know, Donica McHugh might 
even come on and do a kind of a 

221
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800
sort of a dance striptease 
possibly where he might strip 

222
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,160
off his sailor suit that he, uh,
so beautifully wore as he, uh, 

223
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,800
sails that Mayo fever bowed out 
to Clare Island. 

224
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,160
You know, he could definitely 
throw a few moves and, you know,

225
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,440
pull off his trousers maybe or 
something like that. 

226
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,040
So it's it's definitely umm, 
exciting times off the field for

227
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,840
Mayo. 
I think this this thing needs to

228
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640
be milked now for all it's 
worked, You know, we've got a 

229
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880
huge amount of debt to pay off 
in the form of our oversized 

230
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,400
stadium in McHale Park. 
We've got umm a center of 

231
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,320
excellence to build down in the 
three pubs and behold as well. 

232
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,480
And that's not going to come 
cheap. 

233
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,440
So hopefully all avenues are, I 
suppose umm are explored in 

234
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,520
terms of milking the Mayo people
for all that they're worth. 

235
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:30,640
We. 
Never want to see any barriers 

236
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,640
between the Mayo people and 
their money funneling into the 

237
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,480
pockets and the coffers of Mayo 
Gea. 

238
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,320
We do have a lot of loans there 
to repay, as Fat Larry once 

239
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760
said. 
And you know, we're feeling the 

240
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,600
brunt of it here at Mayo are 
back as well. 

241
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,480
But it's very fortunate for us 
that the cameo appearances are 

242
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,360
absolutely through the roof in 
terms of demand. 

243
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,840
We've got our five star rating 
there and the Cord your Mayor or

244
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,760
back cards, which are a real 
touch of class folks. 

245
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
There's some of them were handed
out in the celebrations to those

246
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,360
who deserve them. 
Other ones are being, you know, 

247
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,520
pickpocketed and bought and 
sold. 

248
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360
And there was one man who even 
offered me his girlfriend for a 

249
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,920
carriage. 
But that's not how you get it, 

250
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,880
folks. 
If you want to get one, just log

251
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,760
on to our Instagram page and you
will see how all of that sort of

252
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,920
business is done. 
Now, Speaking of business, 

253
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,240
there's serious business that 
needs to be announced. 

254
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960
On today's podcast. 
We need to tell you the half 

255
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,000
baked, not well friends of the 
show, the people who've been 

256
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,440
around since day one, and more 
recently, the people who've got 

257
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,680
jumped on board this Mayo 
Mystery Machine as it traverses 

258
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,920
the length and breadth of this 
wonderful county. 

259
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,720
We need to let you know what our
plans are for Mayo. 

260
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:50,920
We're back as we have spent lots
of time thinking about how we 

261
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,520
see ourselves inside the space 
and wondering whether we should 

262
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760
retire. 
And there was lots and lots of 

263
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,000
lovely messages that came in 
over the past few weeks. 

264
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
A lot of people getting in touch
to say that they have never 

265
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,280
listened to the podcast and 
never will. 

266
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Another couple of people saying 
that we were, uh, anti Irish 

267
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,280
scum, I believe was one of the 
nice messages that was read out.

268
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,600
A lot of people told calling us 
cracked and not well in the 

269
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,000
head. 
Well, thank you very much for 

270
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
all of those wonderful, 
wonderful message of support. 

271
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,440
And the one man who I met 
recently who told me that the 

272
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Mayo Are Back podcast saved his 
life. 

273
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,280
He said it was all that was 
keeping him going through the 

274
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,760
dark times and the dark years 
and all of the unhappy memories 

275
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,120
that we had as Mayo fans. 
This was his light at the end of

276
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,640
the tunnel, as it were. 
And it's nice to see us sort of 

277
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,160
getting to that wonderful place 
where Mayo truly is the land of 

278
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,040
milk and honey once more. 
And you know what's what? 

279
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,200
What more can we do? 
You know the the best is yet to 

280
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,360
come for TJ and Fat Larry and 
all of Mayo I believe. 

281
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Absolutely. 
And I think it's fair to say, 

282
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,280
you know, that we've got very 
little else going on here in 

283
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Mayo, I feel is what, uh, the 
gist of what TJ is trying to say

284
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,440
there. 
We all kind of questioned 

285
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,240
whether, you know, we would find
a new hobby in light of Mayo 

286
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880
ending 75 years without Sam 
McGuire. 

287
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,960
But when you kind of looked 
around and, you know, I sort of 

288
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,040
looked under the bed and I sort 
of looked out the back window 

289
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,040
and I kind of drove around a 
little bit trying to find 

290
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,000
something to kind of, umm, take,
you know, my time and you know, 

291
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,920
my boundless energy and 
enthusiasm that I have. 

292
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,240
And I really couldn't find 
anything else that quite, I 

293
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,480
suppose, stimulated me like this
Mayo, GA team has. 

294
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,160
So I think we will have to 
simply double down on our 

295
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,360
efforts. 
We will have to go again and go 

296
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080
with more recklessness of 
abandonedness than we've ever 

297
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,920
done before. 
And to even maybe take that 

298
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,280
beyond, I suppose, the, the, the
GA season and to maybe try and 

299
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360
keep this thing going during the
offseason. 

300
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Because I definitely think 
there's enough people out there 

301
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,160
with enough time on their hands 
and who are inbred enough and 

302
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,840
not well enough that really need
what we're providing the, the 

303
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,240
milk and honey that TJ speaks 
about so eloquently there. 

304
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,160
And everything that comes with 
that. 

305
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,200
I think it's very neutral, 
nutritious, I think it's very 

306
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,599
beneficial. 
And I definitely think now that 

307
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,240
the Mayo inbreds out there do 
need something to sustain them 

308
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,200
during the winter months, the 
long, dark, cold winters here in

309
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720
the County Mayo. 
And myself and my old comrade 

310
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,920
here, TJ, are more than happy to
provide that sort of warmth and 

311
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,880
a sort of a girthy hug to all 
those people who need it out 

312
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,640
there. 
Well, I must say, at this 

313
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,120
venture of the podcast Fat 
Larry, I would love to echo all 

314
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,240
of those sediments entirely and 
heap some praise upon you for 

315
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,200
continuing to to show up 
throughout your career as one of

316
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,680
the foremost Mayo podcasters in 
the industry. 

317
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,680
It's no surprise that we have 
climbed the ranks to being 

318
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,400
definitely in the top 10 or 
maybe top 20 Mayo, GA podcasts 

319
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,200
out there at the moment, and the
fans want more. 

320
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,320
And as you so eloquently alluded
to there, what else do we have 

321
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,280
going for as well? 
On a personal level, my wife has

322
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560
threatened to divorce me after I
was found upside down in my 

323
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,560
underpants in a rose Bush in 
ballad rain on the Thursday 

324
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,800
after the celebrations. 
My house has been threatened to 

325
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,960
be taken away by the banks 
because I remortgage just in 

326
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,520
order to go back to Ballyhornus 
again in a couple of days time. 

327
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
And you know what? 
What is there really else going 

328
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,080
on for TJ and Fakhari? 
We have devoted our life and our

329
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280
craft to this particular 
industry. 

330
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,520
We, we walked away from, uh, 
high profile jobs and college 

331
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,280
careers to spend the last few 
months collecting social welfare

332
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,880
in order to bring you the high, 
high quality and caliber of 

333
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,840
podcasts. 
Our preparation was meticulous. 

334
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,200
Our planning was unscrupulous. 
And it's no wonder we saw record

335
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,160
numbers of people tuning in and 
telling us that they're not fans

336
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000
of the podcast. 
So I think it would be 

337
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,480
reminiscent of us at this stage 
now to not get down to the 

338
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
announcement and our decision to
announce that decision on the 

339
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,960
podcast today. 
Yes. 

340
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720
And it's fair to say that that 
decision is, you know, very much

341
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,200
imminent here now. 
And I suppose it's been one that

342
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,400
has not been made lightly and 
one that we've certainly not 

343
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,640
umm, you know, brushed over or, 
you know, not given due respect 

344
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
to. 
I think it's fair to say, and I 

345
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,120
think it's absolutely exciting 
now to be getting to a situation

346
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,800
where decision is so imminent. 
And I think it's it's I'm very 

347
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960
excited. 
I have to say I'm very in a 

348
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,080
highly manifested state of Mayo 
and Wellness here at the moment.

349
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,960
And I'm sure that thousands of 
people who will be listening 

350
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,240
and, you know, at home to this 
will be in the exact same state 

351
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,200
themselves. 
So I think it's fair to say, TJ,

352
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,080
we need to get down to the brass
tacks now and I think we need to

353
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,120
tell the listeners what we have 
planned for them. 

354
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,080
Well before I will say that I 
will thank the listeners for 

355
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,320
their continued listenership and
followership of this Instagram 

356
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,480
page com podcasting juggernaut. 
And you know we would not be 

357
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,840
where we are today if it were 
not for you, the loyal half 

358
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
bakes and the eager eared 
listeners dotted around Mayo and

359
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,400
indeed further afield, who are 
probably on tender hooks at this

360
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,040
particular junction. 
No sponsorship, uh, needed for 

361
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,560
us to talk about how much we 
love the junction and the 

362
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,360
Julian's of midfield where the 
carvery has the carvery of 

363
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,400
friendship has been promised to 
us where we must call in and 

364
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,520
devour that. 
But they will all be in their 

365
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,760
own separate quarters. 
Wondering, are Fat Larry and TJ 

366
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,960
going to come back for a new 
season? 

367
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
Well as you know folks, 
generally when the off seasons 

368
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,160
come we like to head off in our 
separate ways. 

369
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200
I usually spend the winter 
months in an underground bunker 

370
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,320
rewatching old Mayo games by 
myself. 

371
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,640
But for Larry and I have come to
this decision where we have 

372
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,880
decided to put you the half 
bakes of Mayo 1st and to 

373
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:13,120
continue with weekly podcasts 
all the way up until Christmas. 

374
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,320
Wow, there you have it folks. 
That is our decision. 

375
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,560
We are not going to retire. 
We're actually going to come 

376
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,800
back stronger than ever. 10 more
seasons, more content than you 

377
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,640
could have ever dreamed about. 
It's an exciting time, fat Larry

378
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680
to announce this decision on 
today's decision announcement 

379
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,440
podcast. 
It's. 

380
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,920
Very exciting. 
TJ, I must say. 

381
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,360
You really left. 
Even myself, umm, you know, 

382
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,560
there was really, I wasn't sure 
what way it was going to go. 

383
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,440
You know, we've had the 
decisions, we've had the 

384
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,400
discussions, we've talked with 
each other's families, we've 

385
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,480
spent the time, you know, 
analyzing and looking back. 

386
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,280
And really up until the last 
minute there, I was just not 

387
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,520
sure what way it was going to 
go. 

388
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,920
But it is tremendously exciting 
to see where this mayor we're 

389
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,080
backed juggernaut can go next. 
You know, we've been floating 

390
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,480
around lots of different ideas 
in terms of, you know, where 

391
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520
this might go next. 
And we, of course, will be 

392
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,600
guided as always by the core. 
Jim Mayo are back in terms of 

393
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
what they want. 
And we will be tailoring these 

394
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,880
shows exactly to the needs of 
the Mayo, uh, inbreds who TuneIn

395
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,760
and listen every week we've been
getting great feedback as we've 

396
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,600
gone across the county and all 
of the many focus groups that we

397
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,800
have organized and held over the
last little while in terms of 

398
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,000
what people would want, maybe, 
you know, commentating on all 

399
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,120
Mayo games. 
We might even interview some 

400
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:40,400
people, you know, at some point 
in the future, maybe some Mayo 

401
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,120
players or members of the Mayo 
management team. 

402
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,640
It's highly possible, that is 
what most other podcasts tend to

403
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,040
do, so that is something that we
will definitely be strongly 

404
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,960
considering doing in the coming 
weeks and months as we go 

405
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040
through the winter time. 
There's obviously the small 

406
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,920
matter of the club championship 
as well. 

407
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:03,320
Can we stretch our knowledge of 
football to talk about that 

408
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,640
particular tournament? 
Well, you're just going to have 

409
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,360
to continue to TuneIn to find 
out to see where me and TJ here 

410
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,480
can can stretch our tentacles 
next we. 

411
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,920
Have weathered the storm in 
terms of our legal battles that 

412
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520
have gone on? 
We've gotten to the top of the 

413
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,720
mountain really in terms of 
winning the All Ireland final. 

414
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,040
But if we suffered through the 
75 years of pain, we certainly 

415
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,800
want to be there for the 75 
years of pleasure that are 

416
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,640
stretched out ahead of us. 
Folks, we're going to be here on

417
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,600
the airwaves making ourselves a 
permanent feature inside the the

418
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,680
Mayo sphere. 
You know, our dreams have always

419
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,600
been to one host the late Late 
Show 2 commentate with Bert and 

420
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,920
Carney and three to, uh, get 
nominated for an All Star. 

421
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,520
I think 2 out of three of those 
dreams would not be bad for for 

422
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,320
us to achieve at this stage. 
But we are going to be certainly

423
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,120
putting our heads down and 
making sure our trousers are 

424
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:06,960
pointing in the right direction 
and the same direction. 

425
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,680
We're going to be working hand 
in hand and we're actually going

426
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,920
to be moving in together and 
sharing a bed and top and 

427
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,400
tailing it for the next couple 
of weeks just so we can regain 

428
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,320
that little bit of flow on that 
little bit of chemistry that 

429
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720
we've become known for here on 
this particular podcast. 

430
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Yes, it's very exciting, I must 
say. 

431
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,280
That aspect of it is something 
that I am very much looking 

432
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,120
forward to getting up close and 
personal with TJ like I've never

433
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:33,720
done before. 
We've lived in quite close of 

434
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,920
quarters now over the the past 
couple of months, but it'll be 

435
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,080
really nice just to double down 
now and to really snuggle up 

436
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,640
nice and close during the cold 
weather and to really churn out 

437
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,040
some of the best mail content 
that people have ever seen. 

438
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,640
You know, we'll be having a huge
amount of fun over the next few 

439
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,200
months. 
Umm, you know, reviewing the 

440
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,480
season that was and of course 
previewing the 2027 season, 

441
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,680
which promises to be probably 
one of the better seasons that 

442
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,400
we've had from a Mayo GA 
perspective considering we will 

443
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,440
be the defending All Ireland 
Champions. 

444
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,880
Will it live up to the 2026 
season while it'll remain to be 

445
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,960
seen? 
And if you're not here with us, 

446
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,920
you're just not going to be able
to find out. 

447
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,760
I think it's fair to say, TJ. 
Yes. 

448
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,240
And we haven't exactly become, 
you know, the darlings of Mayo 

449
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,400
Gea. 
We haven't been the master of 

450
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,640
ceremonies or presented at any 
of those sort of different 

451
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240
events that happened over the 
last month or so. 

452
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,600
But we are no strangers to 
having to reinsert ourselves. 

453
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,040
And we're going to, you know, 
stick those chests out and 

454
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,680
insert ourselves back into the 
space and occupy some of that 

455
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,720
space inside the Mayo Gea 
sphere, as we've been doing 

456
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,560
since 20 16/20/17 their 
thereabouts. 

457
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,480
But it's an exciting time, 
folks. 

458
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,960
It's a very, very exciting time 
to be in Half Baked. 

459
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,800
Not well like myself. 
And at this venture of the 

460
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,960
podcast, as well as saying up 
Mayo, we'd also like to turn our

461
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,400
attention to you, the listeners 
and ask you to, you know, get in

462
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,440
touch with us and let us know 
who would you like to see going 

463
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,400
under the knife as it were, 
because we've started to put out

464
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,920
a few little feelers about 
anyone out there who might be 

465
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,280
brave enough to come in and sit 
toe to toe Dick with TJ and fat 

466
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,600
Larry in the mayor. 
We're back HQ studios. 

467
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,520
We want to invite anyone on 
that's willing to come in. 

468
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,440
We're talking players, we're 
talking mangers, we're talking 

469
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280
any any other people like that 
at all. 

470
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,760
You know, we really are 
legitimizing ourselves in many 

471
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,640
ways as a the foremost 
podcasters in the industry. 

472
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,360
Furthermore, we're also, I 
believe if you've listened to 

473
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,160
this stage of the podcast, 
you're a number of things. 

474
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,000
One is not well in the head and 
two is a true May. 

475
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760
We're back superstance. 
So this one is going out for you

476
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,000
guys. 
We're also going to be launching

477
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,320
on the 31st of August, a very 
exciting initiative. 

478
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,000
We're going to be moving on to 
Patreon and what are we going to

479
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,640
be doing there, Fat Larry? 
Would you give the half bakes a 

480
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,480
little bit of a flavour and a 
sort of a richness of 

481
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,120
abundantness of what is going to
be taking place behind the pay 

482
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:13,400
wall, as it were? 
Well. 

483
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Absolutely, TJ. 
You know, it's fair to say that 

484
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,280
when you're behind the wall and 
when the door is closed that you

485
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,440
can really do an awful lot more 
than you know you can do in 

486
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,840
public. 
So I think what we're going to 

487
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,280
be seeing here is a really 
stripped back or really a more 

488
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720
kind of a nude approach, I 
suppose, for want of a better 

489
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,400
word, in terms of our podcasting
and everything that will come 

490
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,360
with it. 
There'll be of course, nice 

491
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:37,920
perks for the Mayo inbreds out 
there. 

492
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,680
They'll be definitely able to 
get up more in close and 

493
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,640
personal with myself and TJ and 
to really come inside the 

494
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,840
studio, as it were, and really 
and have a very big influence on

495
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,400
umm. 
You know what we do? 

496
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,600
It's it's essentially like, I 
suppose, eh, inviting a lay 

497
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,920
member of the public to become 
part of the male backroom team. 

498
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,280
I think that's the way I want to
frame it as I want to. 

499
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,840
You know, there's the the male 
common inbred that's listening 

500
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,720
at home could become and the 
Keith Higgins or the Papa Dirks 

501
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,200
of this podcast over the next 
couple of couple of months that 

502
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,720
like, you know, we've been going
along fairly well and we've been

503
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,720
doing quite well and achieving a
lot of what we have set out to 

504
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,760
achieve. 
But you know, sometimes in these

505
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,000
GA setups, they just need to get
a little added bit of expertise 

506
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,600
brought into the equation just 
to add a little bit more and to 

507
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,160
give us that extra 1%. 
And that's the way I feel the 

508
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,480
corgi Mayo are back. 
Inbreds will be able to 

509
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,840
influence things here going 
forward. 

510
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,480
They'll be able to maybe come on
the air with us. 

511
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Maybe they'll be able to, you 
know, pull our strings behind 

512
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,200
closed doors and things like 
that. 

513
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160
And that's very, very exciting, 
TJ, for everyone involved. 

514
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,040
I know we've some great plans in
terms of content. 

515
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,800
We're thinking about maybe 
opening a vault of old male 

516
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,000
games and myself and TJ here are
going to commentate on those 

517
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,440
games in our own unique style 
and, you know, bringing a lot of

518
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,760
what you hear on the podcast to 
the table. 

519
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,120
And I suppose to give you 
something different than 

520
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,680
listening to, you know, boring 
old jerk canning or Darren 

521
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Maloney commentating the shit. 
Same shite year in, year out 

522
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,760
that it might just get a 
different flavor to these games 

523
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,680
that you've watched many times 
before. 

524
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,480
So. 
Don't be afraid to get in touch 

525
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,320
folks and tell us what games you
would like to hear the dulcet 

526
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,760
tones of TJ and Fat Larry 
commentating on. 

527
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,920
We are going to be going live on
the 31st of August. 

528
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,880
We're going to have a couple of 
episodes there. 

529
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,840
If you already we're going to do
commentary on a game, we're also

530
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,880
going to have the Streets of 
Mayo podcast that was simply too

531
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,600
spicy to air where we caught up 
with famous Mayo players and 

532
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,640
famous Mayo people as they got 
shit faced around the County of 

533
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Mayo during All Ireland final 
celebration week. 

534
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,480
That's all going to be there for
you folks, but not to worry if 

535
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,520
you're going to stay on the free
public podcasts. 

536
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,720
Uh, they're the regular Joe 
soaps, the, the, the, the people

537
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,120
who are not fully, completely, 
totally inbred or unwell. 

538
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,880
We're going to have a weekly 
podcast for you guys and maybe a

539
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,520
little teaser of our commentary 
as well every Sunday. 

540
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280
It certainly is an exciting 
time, folks. 

541
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,360
There's a lot of information to 
come over the next couple of 

542
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,920
days and weeks, and it's very 
much a developing situation, but

543
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,680
I think I'm developing feelings 
for Fat Larry and just for the 

544
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,920
Mayo public at large, and I 
think that's a wonderful sort of

545
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440
headspace to be in at this 
particular moment. 

546
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,480
Absolutely. 
It's very exciting. 

547
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,640
You know, it's, it's, it's 
important I think now that we, 

548
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320
we really double down on our 
efforts to support this Mayo 

549
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,560
team and to express our Mayo 
inbredness in every possible 

550
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,440
way. 
You know, it's, it would be very

551
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400
easy for us now to throw in the 
towel having won the All Ireland

552
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,520
and all of us having our Celtic 
crosses in our back pockets. 

553
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,200
But it's fair to say there's 
more out there for us now and I 

554
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,280
think we need to really push on 
now. 

555
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Umm, you know, in the offseason 
and we really need to manifest 

556
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,800
ourselves in, in new and 
interesting ways. 

557
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,400
And I'm really going to expose a
whole new, uh, way of looking at

558
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Mayo, GA and indeed, uh, myself 
as well over the next little 

559
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,560
while. 
So I think it's very exciting 

560
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,320
and we really do hope that 
people do get on board with this

561
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,880
little project. 
I know lots of people think that

562
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,320
the, the whole thing is absolute
shite. 

563
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,280
I was told that I was a tough 
spot there at Mass recently and 

564
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,080
they'll always be the crickets 
out there. 

565
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,160
They'll always be people who, 
you know, simply just don't see 

566
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,440
it from the way we see it. 
But I know from traversing the 

567
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
county along with old TJ here 
that there's an awful lot of 

568
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,840
very goodwill out there and a 
lot of people who have got an 

569
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,000
awful lot of unresolved trauma 
that even an all Ireland title 

570
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,400
hasn't managed to umm, rid them 
of yet. 

571
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,200
So I think to continue on to 
keep showing up for mayor or 

572
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,160
back podcast, keep getting your 
therapy done and myself and TJ 

573
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,480
here will guide you like to 
shaman guys hiding poor Gohora 

574
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,200
nude up Mount Everest for want 
of a better word. 

575
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,760
And that's kind of what we're 
going to be providing over the 

576
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,800
next while as. 
Fat Larry said Come and drink 

577
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,240
from our special cup of tea. 
Don't worry if you shit yourself

578
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,240
because the best is yet to come 
for Mayor back. 

579
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,960
It's safe to say that may we're 
back our back. 

580
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,920
We're going to be back stronger 
than ever, podcasting every 

581
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,400
single week for as long as we 
walk the plains of this county. 

582
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,600
And what an exciting time that 
is, folks. 

583
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600
It's an exciting time to be 
alive. 

584
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560
We thank you for staying with us
till this venture of the podcast

585
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,920
and waiting on bated breaths to 
find out what our announcement 

586
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,840
was. 
I hope you're happy with that 

587
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,600
decision. 
I feel quite happy with that 

588
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,640
decision that we announced on 
the podcast today. 

589
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Factory, yes. 
I'm, I'm glad that we have 

590
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,320
finally come to come to that 
conclusion and drew all the 

591
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,720
conclusions and dotted the IS 
and crossed the T's for want of 

592
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,200
a better word. 
So I think I'm more happy now 

593
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,080
knowing that it's out there, 
it's in the ether and and we can

594
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,120
all look forward now to a 
journey together, whatever which

595
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,120
way that will lead us. 
That's all we have time for 

596
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,240
today, folks. 
Next week we're going to be 

597
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,880
coming at you taken fast. 
There's going to be podcast 

598
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,960
coming from every angle. 
We look forward to your 

599
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,760
continued support and we hope to
see some of you joining the 

600
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
merry half baked bunch of 
patrons of Mayo. 

601
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,160
We're back. 
That's all for today, folks. 

602
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,040
It's a big up Mayo from me. 
Mayo Doo Doo Doo. 

603
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,160
McDonald, McDonald, McDonald. 
McDonald, 

604
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:26,560
McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's
McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's

605
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,880
