Ah, yes

...

it was, oh, it was, it was the nuttiest two weeks.

I w- I was in Ballinara for the homecoming, and, um, it was just mental to see, like, the bus when it pulled in.

It felt very biblical.

Everyone just, like, walked slowly towards the bus like the walking dead.

[laughs] Yeah.

And then, then, no, I just do a bit of deep breathing.

[laughs]

[laughs] Yeah.

And then, then, no, I just do a bit of deep breathing, bit of deep breathing for about 10 minutes, and then you kinda get to a point, I find it's around 30 minutes before the gig, where you're like, it feels like you're on a rollercoaster, and there's no getting off at this point, so you have to either enjoy it or else just let it paralyze you.

So I just try to, like, jump around, get the, get the energy moving, get the blood pumping.

Is it nerve-wracking going to do a show like that if it's a big production?

Eh, the first day would be, because you're like, "Okay, how many people are going to be here? What..." The, the hardest thing is, like, if you have little bits of dialogue, it's grand.

'Cause I know the way it's shot now, like, they do loads of takes.

They'll do the shot on you.

They'll do the shots of the other people.

Everyone messes up a few times, you know? So I don't really mind that.

There's no pressure there.

Gelar?

I'd say

they were strict parents.

Oh, yeah.

But that strictness also probably gave them good discipline, no? I don't know.

You'd never know.

But I'll tell you one thing about that family.

They look like they get on together.

So what do you

So a buddy of yours, and he said, look, I'm doing this gig, will you be in it? And then you just ended up getting more work from that, was it?

Pretty much, yeah.

A friend of mine said, do you want to be in this five-minute pilot that we're filming? So I said, yeah, no problem.

What do you want me to do? He goes, just do whatever you want.

But I seen him, what he was doing, and I was like, okay, he's playing this ignorant West of Ireland character.

I do something similar.

And we were meant to be best friends on the show.

Very good.

What would be yours? I

would say USA 94 was a big one.

Obviously, Italia 90 was great.

Paki Bonner saving against the Romanians.

But USA 94, I remember like...

Huge.

The time difference was a bit funny.

you get what I mean? So your father was big into the World Cup as well?
