The Tommy and Hector Podcast

The first episode of the Tommy and Hector podcast was a good listen. Some very funny bits. Not usually a fan of their works but being a bit unplanned suits them both.

I like Tommy, but don't know if I could listen to Hector for more than 30 seconds..

I heard a few minutes of it. Tommy's great when he's not doing his shouty 'Cute Navan Hoor' persona and talking in a quieter and thoughtful manner, much like he does on his chat show, and it was that latter way of speaking he seems to be doing on the podcast. Hector's not trying to be too big either. I'd say it has potential.

Thanks OP, listened to this tonight. Very enjoyable stuff, would say well worth a listen.

It's irrelevant but very enjoyable so far imo (going on about dogging in West Mayo was brilliant craic).

It's a bit of a Hector tribute show in places though so if you're someone who can't stand him, there's not much hope for you here.

irreverent?

LilacNails · 30-09-2020 11:06pm

What's the point of your one there, in the background? The woman? Trys too hard to be funny and fake laughing like Maura on the 2 Johnnies !!

Surprised with this, very enjoyable, the lads just rambling about different things with a few funny stories in between. Like Hector in this format really suits him I think.

I've heard first couple of episodes, its ok without being super i thought

[Deleted User] · 07-10-2020 8:41pm

I’m loving it. It was a bit too much of a Tommy show in the first couple of episodes but has got a lot better as it got more balanced. Top of the list every Thursday now.

It's not bad at all.
Tommy seems like a cantankerous, angry man. There's some good stuff when he's not being a contrarian, but he's not coming across great.

Laurita is pretty good imo. Keeps it light hearted and isn't afraid to take the p1ss out of either of them.

Hector is very good. He's been all over the world and has some great stories. I'd say he'd be very draining in real life, but has a lovely outlook on life.

Tommy likes to portray himself as this forward thinker, but it's the Tommy and Hector show with Laurita Blewitt. She's not even in the artwork for the podcast, it's just the 2 lads.

You’ve checked she has issue with that I presume?

Don’t take down another thread with that bloody rot.

How could i possibly check that with her? I'm sure she's glad to get the platform.

It's not 'bloody rot' it's a perfectly valid point.

Go have some lunch Tommy, your blood sugar must be low if you're getting so angry about this.

This was changed by the way. Tommy, Hector and Laurita podcast now and she is on the artwork.

Enjoying this more than I expected.

adraigh · 23-01-2021 1:36am

the Debs stuff was brilliant this week

StupidLikeAFox · 23-01-2021 2:02am

Really enjoying it as well. Hector was very good on all his travel shows, going back to the early 2000s up to the more recent stuff. He was pretty poor on the radio when he had his own show, but this format suits him

I think both him and Tommy are at their best when they are rambling on and not trying to force/manufacture a bit of craic - both have lived fairly interesting lives.

I'm the same. Have to wear a mask to cover the laughing

harr · 23-01-2021 10:27am

Really enjoying it , you haven’t a clue what direction the show will take . I think it’s perfectly balanced between the 3 of them . Tommy does come across as a big grump at times.
I like others have found myself laughing out loud when out for my walk and I am sure other walkers think I am mad .

dublin7d7 · 25-01-2021 12:22pm

Great show
Tommy dropping his girlfriend for the debs, cos having the craic with the lads was his priority for the night and she' d just be getting in the way.
Classic.
Bonkers but it's the quintessential Irish lad.

JCDUB · 25-01-2021 3:32pm

I like the rambling, people having a casual chat style of this show, although it can also be a bit waffly sometimes. I suppose that's the point really!

If anybody isn't a fan of Hector, Tommy has a podcast on his own.

Very same, rambling, storytelling, grumbling commentary on life.

He picks a theme every episode, last one was anger I think, one about sisters too.

He has a gift for the quiet, lilting, telling stories of divilment.

I enjoy Tommy's podcasts but they aren't the same really, there is less craic on them. In this podcast, I love things like where they just improvise i.e. naming the girls at the debs.

:D Or before, just making different cow noises.

Bit behind, but Hector's story about attending an African fertility celebration and the subsequent good fortune that befell Rosco was one of the most emotionally engaging anecdotes I have ever heard. In fact, that whole broadcast live from Crane Bar in Galway was excellent, and I find the podcast essential listening at this stage.

Which episode is that one?

Not sure where you listen to the podcasts but the name of it is "The Crane Bar, Galway City, Ireland". It came out on 15th October. Here is the spotify link.

[Deleted User] · 07-02-2021 9:40pm

Just listen to them all anyway, there’s not a bad one.

Buddy Bubs · 07-02-2021 9:43pm

Absolutely loved this, listened to them all in a week. Didn't get a huge amount of work done.
Few times had me in tears laughing. It's like sitting in the pub with the 2 lads just talking whatever nonsense comes to mind.

jmlad2020 · 10-02-2021 11:13pm

Hector is a fascinating guy. Loved his story about going off to live on Inishmaan in his youth to hone his Irish and live on the dole.

New podcast out tomorrow, can't wait.

Buddy Bubs · 11-02-2021 10:22pm

Good episode today, but short. Hector losing the rag with the other 2 for slagging his auntys male name was gas.
