Tommy WalshGUEST
How much does that make a difference? 'Cause there is a lot of familiar connections out there between uncles and nephews and, and dads and sons and moms and d- you know.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
I mean, look at, we were growing up, I suppose my, our first hurling memories to 1980.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
[laughs] And, uh, you know, with a younger brother, John, as well, who was probably the best as my father said, and he picked up a bad injury.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
And [laughs] then, and maybe that's, his career might have been different.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
But, uh, we were the three Connolly brothers, you know, emulating I suppose what Joe and Michael and John did for, for Galway.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
Yeah, you definitely have to have a human in the loop and you don't want to replace the trust building portion of business.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
But again, there's a lot of resistance because the actual consumer will tell the business, I don't want to talk to a bot.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
And you'll have the recordings or you'll have the transcripts with people yelling certain words like representative.

Fergal O'KeeffeHOST
So when you did minor were you doing minor like did you start out outfield and then go into goal or how that's what I was kind of earlier on when I said to you about when you were a kid in the garden and Jamesy was hitting the ball Were you, you know, always in goal or were you an outfield player and then you start, then you moved into goal or how does that work? Did you dream of being a goalie?

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
No, it's funny, like, you know, like, I think my goalkeeping kind of would have started where myself and James, we were younger, we were big into soccer, like, it might sound crazy now, but we were, like, we used to read comic books, ride the rovers, kind of like, and there was this story, the safest hands in soccer.

Christy O'ConnorGUEST
So, like, James used to be out the back taking shots and he'd be diving around the garden.
