Tommy's mother committed suicide about 15 years ago.

07-09-2021 5:03pm

Ah right. Didn’t know that either.

Cienciano · 08-09-2021 10:22pm

Her sister too

There was a bit in one of the earlier podcasts about digging her up in the dead of night with his brothers, burning her remains and spreading the ashes on slievenamon. Mad story

Hector got a brown envelope from the antique shop, that’s for sure,

father_buzz_cagney · 03-10-2021 8:54am

So only just got into the pod, it's a great listen at times. Actually think Laurita is decent and well able for the two lads, but the constant talking about the farming, the GAA and Knockmore is a bit tiring now. that charity single was absolute cringe. Going through the episodes from the start, which one was it that was causing the controversy, the episode from Knockmore where Tommy was being a rude prick about Ballina?

Also am I wrong in thinking, some of the content is a bit, well.... kinda racist. 'North African pricks' story springs to mind as well as the 'comedy' accents of Africans and indians, not comfortable with that...

Cienciano · 03-10-2021 4:57pm

"did they go in through the vagina? "

Lol, Tommy not the anatomy expert

Do you reckon Tommy was saying those things because of his hatred for other races?

Raoul · 04-10-2021 10:55pm

Yeah. Not sure why doing an accent is racist. Plus Tommy actually lived in Nigeria so maybe he just does a really good impersonation.

BPKS · 16-10-2021 6:15pm

Been disappointed with the last few podcasts. Seems like filler stuff that didn't make the cut for previous episodes.

22-10-2021 11:51am

I hadn't listened to a podcast in a while, yesterday's offering wasn't great tbh. Again only for Hector they would have nothing of interest to talk about. Tommy just comes across as a creep, he always has to crowbar in some bit of cheap humour involving his sexual escapades from years gone by followed by a fake shocked reaction from Laurita...sad!!Laurita's efforts to be the bold woman bossing the guards around and demanding lifts home, seriously!! I felt embarrassed for her, she made an awful plonker out of herself yesterday. This woman isn't far off 40 and she sounds and acts like someone in their early 20s and what's all the secrecy about her "lover/partner" he is never referred to by name. They really need to bring guests on now or wrap it up. Glad I stopped paying for the bonus episode!🙄

Maybe the partner is someone well known to the public ...

Cienciano · 23-10-2021 10:05pm

Think my humour level is low, i thought the bit about "sucking the tits off her" was hilarious. Also the salmon of knowledge bit. Everyone in navan has bradán feasa, the chippers sell it in batter.

I have seen some previous comments online about one particular person, but I find it hard to believe....

Each to their own I guess...thought it was a bit too crass tbh, especially two married fathers in their mid 50s😏

I thought she was Joe Brolly's partner, no?

She is but it's a secret, say nothing.

Cienciano · 07-11-2021 7:19pm

Hectors story about being in Bulgaria was brilliant, as Tommy said, the guy can tell a story

09-11-2021 4:25am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118132675#Comment_118132675

Totally agree, it was excellent, without Hector they wouldn't have a podcast!

Cartman78 · 09-11-2021 12:50pm

Hector is doing all the heavy lifting recently - Tommy & Lurita contributing next to nothing most weeks other than encouraging him to tell more hit and miss stories about his current and/or past travels escapades.

Lurita badly needs to go on a girls holiday to Ibiza for a week or something to generate content.

Anyway, the pod is slipping down my listening list rapidly - what is the subscription episode like?

humberklog · 11-11-2021 6:40pm

Odd episode today. After 3 ads in the opener they just swung into Hector talking about awaiting a Covid clearance pass to travel from Serbia via Turkey and onto Dublin. It took them a while to get around to saying Hector had contacted Covid when in Belgrade. It was disjointed episode when it could've been far more coherent and interesting.

Was it talked about in one of the previous paid episodes?

Laurita's whingey interjections are making it almost unlistenable for me. She badly needs to start bringing something to the table.

paddylonglegs · 11-11-2021 11:03pm

The £750 story was brilliant. Great delivery from hector

Cienciano · 12-11-2021 3:12am

"The second time I rang simon coveney for help."

"the other was when you killed that hooker in China"

BKWDR · 05-12-2021 11:38am

Beginning to think this podcast has run its course.

Between the ads (the funniest one was the one for the taxi app which was put directly after the segment of laurita telling the story of her trying to get the guards to drive her home) and the replication of stories. It really is the Hector show and tbh I was never a huge fan of his but his story telling is really keeping it alive.

I wouldnt even half consider paying for the bonus episode its gone so stale

The push for the merch is a bit constant too.

Tommy has some great rants but they're becoming hit and miss too. Describing the good looking young wan was a bit wtf

Laurita is just getting a bit whingey and where I thought she was a good anchor for the two lads before, can't see it now. Even the 'knockmore' craic has long since run its course

Patsy167 · 09-12-2021 1:25pm

Hector's stories from Romania on the most recent episode were entertaining. He's the star of the show.

ILikeBoats · 10-12-2021 10:45am

They're really good.

Maria and Nickolai!

I would agree but the donkey story about his newfound love for donkeys and how he felt something special when he hugged a donkey went on a bit long 😂

humberklog · 06-01-2022 5:35pm

Curious to know if paid subscribers got fresh material over the Christmas?

I notice that over on the free ones they posted 2 "best ofs" in the last couple of weeks.

Reati · 06-02-2022 3:48pm

Haven't listened in ages and had an hour to kill so stuck on latest episode. Jesus it's fallen hard.

Laurita getting offended because some Tommy knows a lad who said Asian woman have softer skin than western women. (literally all I remember her contribution was)

Hector crowbaring "I was here" "I was there" into every segment was annoying. Only bit I enjoyed was Tommy calling him out on it. But like the Uncle from only fools and horses... "during the war..."

That was annoying but wtf is with Tiernan. He was like an horny terrier. Every story had some innuendo to it. I thought the talk about being a bull and going and riding cows even if they didn't want it was a bit odd, but never to be afraid to hit rock bottom he proceeded to a story about a goat raping a woman only to finish off with his philosophy studies contemplating what 8 and 12 year old girls must think about when they see a horse with a hard cock.

Idiot boy · 11-02-2022 4:41pm

Stopped listening a few weeks ago..i used to ĺook foreword to it.. gone a bit stale..

Cyrus · 11-02-2022 4:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118590663#Comment_118590663

yeah that was a bit of a low point the horse and young girls bit.

To be fair its effectively comedy so some shows hit better than others, the two best of pods showcase it at its best.

Reati · 13-02-2022 9:28am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118616623#Comment_118616623

You see, I don't think this is fully true. I actually think the "pod" is actually Tommy at his realist (compared to his produced image on the TT show). It's the real TT as he is at home and is some weird outlet for him. That said, I wonder why he stopped his own podcast.

Anyway, it does seem to repeat the same 3 topics.

Knockmore gaa

Tommy pretending he wants to be some wandering shaman

And Hector "Let me tell you about the time I was in..."

Funny thing is, I actually think Hector is the main force keeping the topics moving. As he has all the stories from been on the road.

Can't complain too much, it's free the odd episode I listen too though and I wouldn't miss it if they moved 100% paid either. I'd love to know how many paid subs they have.

Patsy167 · 13-02-2022 11:04am

I'm amazed that this podcast is the most listened to every week in Ireland. It might not be for everyone but credit to the three of them for pumping out the content every week.

Cyrus · 13-02-2022 1:33pm

Incredibly difficult when you think about it without guests , same 3 people week in week out.

Reati · 13-02-2022 11:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118624024#Comment_118624024

It's not, is it? I looked up the charts and it's in the top 5 most weeks tbf but it's not number one. Joe Regan for whatever reason is normally top.

15-02-2022 5:49am

Less is more...its gone to the dogs, they need to liven it up a bit. They need guests and just do one episode a week. I agree with previous posts...Tommy's fantasy about wandering the world like a tramp...seriously just feck off and do it!! Yeah I said recently Hector was the saving grace of the show but kind of over his travel stories now. The two are arseholes to Hector though...and tbh the podcast would have gone down the toilet without him! Tiernan is a right creepy f$%ker at times, totally agree re previous comments. Laurita needs to take on a more powerful role, instead of being shocked by everything Tommy says. I'm kind of sick of the two **** on about Navan...and yip Knockmore 😴😴

fatbhoy · 12-05-2022 2:26pm

Laurita needs to get ta fcuk. At first I though she was needed as the straight-man between mental, funny, dark, cantankerous Tommy, and seanchaí Hector, with his gift for great storytelling, having the craic with Tommy, but after listening to her stupid questions and irritating ways I'm beginning to wonder what's the actual point of her on the show. I'm amazed she got this far; she must have some connections and push, because Tommy and Hector have genuine talent, but she's got none, in my opinion. I've a pain in my swiss listening to her.

There are people in this thread who consider her essential to the podcast so she must appeal to some.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119085909#Comment_119085909

It's been a while since anyone has defended her presence, mind you the thread itself isn't getting much attention.

I thought she brought something of herself in the beginning but that's long passed. She's just a pain in the hole. Between her moaning and Tommy's kinda unsettling fixation on talking about "riding wimmin!" it's fairly unlistenable to for me.

It's a waste of Hector. I'd like to see him doing something better within a Podcast format.

Sorolla · 06-08-2022 11:21pm

Congrats to Laurita and Joe

onrail · 07-08-2022 8:40am

I only found out 2 weeks ago that Lairita's 'beloved' is Joe Brolly! Complete shock was an understatement.

A bit odd that he's always kept anonymous on the pod. I wonder who has instructed that?

Cienciano · 22-11-2022 11:01am

Last week they were telling stories about guys in Somalia having 10 kids and one dying on the way to a food camp. This week Ireland is overpopulated and we need to stop having kids

Zambia. When he was a kid.

BPKS · 28-11-2022 2:57pm

The podcast is gone very poor. If you listen to one of the earlier episodes and compare it with what they are dishing out now it's like night and day.

Oh that rings a bell. His dad was a AI man.

pappyodaniel · 13-12-2022 7:46am

I'm new enough to this podcast, the two lads are gas and have great chemistry together, I just wonder what Laurita brings to it? I can't warm to her.

Cienciano · 07-01-2023 12:29pm

Holy fúck they got shítfaced on the Christmas podcast
