AI summary AI-generated from the transcript
Energized Show episode with Irish comedian and impressionist Conor Moore (Connor Sketches), recorded during the early COVID-19 period while he lives in Florida working on his golf-comedy TV show. Moore describes arriving in the United States around early March 2020 for a small studio visit and a planned St Patrick’s Day bar opening in New York before the pandemic forced a green-screen home setup. He recounts how he started impressions as a child, quit a phone-sales job at age 27 after failing an Off The Ball audition, and pivoted into viral Gaelic-football and soccer sketches before focusing on golf because few Irish impressionists covered the sport. Much of the conversation centers on developing a Tiger Woods voice, a Bridgestone advert opportunity, meeting Woods and other golfers, and celebrity encounters including Justin Timberlake at a California charity golf event and unknowingly sitting beside Michael Jordan at the Ryder Cup. He discusses adapting weekly shows with Ross from a living room to Zoom, his handicap, cultural differences in golf between Ireland and America, watching the Brady–Manning charity match, and plans for his show’s September renewal and possible PGA Tour–linked live episodes.

good or whatever people will I suppose what's that what's rare is beautiful kind of thing you know yes oh I'm doing snow how did you get started off doing impressions cuz you know island is a country known and a toward him for like punchable to wake on like in terms of impressionist like islands up there were the best like we have like mario roses talk yourself a now for and like really like pushing the forefront over the impressions game and you know and how did you got Starbucks hey you know what I got started by accident when I was a kid my OLED got a DVD a pre-match and one of my earliest memories are of him laying on the couch laughs and ass Barry Murphy doing Frank Stapleton and I didn't even have in Frank's day everything was like money about 10 years [ __ ] but I thought it was hilarious because me fired I thought it was hilarious so then I just started taking people off from watching the upper and matched hanging and Jordan summers like watched like you man dealing don't be you know babies right the person in all theater I was impersonating the impersonators or whatever then I swear to God I didn't do it like I remember doing like McCarthy I was coming to school as well and I was doing that like up from my door and the boys we laugh then I get into secondary school I think I stopped never eat he done it at all and a planner GI was involved in a ga match I was actually playing I was injured and a rival broke out at the very end of a game that we were losing him and the game is as good as over but disrobe Rocco anyway and whatever happened as these things happen in a ga much everyone runs in that's all portion and sugar bags are for of me or as you know yeah now get the quarter flags and be as mighty as you want Sarah no one could do not novella there was a picture and taken and the picture is like of me I don't know there's a couple of people in a group but you can just see my head and again I'm not very tall or anything so strange how it got me but the camera was in the stands looking down on the row and I'm like distantly fist no lose no point just wrong but I'm just you know postulate or whatever I like that all the boys are looking at this they think it's hilarious I'm Hannah mortified cuz it's in the back of the newspaper the local newspaper mulling err Mullingar Gazette so they end up sending this to me and then to photoshopping me into all these different they're things like hooligan lists and all this kind of [ __ ] for the euros was 2016 at the time and I was ringing up the Secretary's extensions come on her what like he was ago I don't know like you're you're wearing your tracksuit no you know it's not looking good and then he rings me one and he goes I Everton's granddad to watch the video and nothing really happened but two clubs getting small fine as a grant so then I went home and snapchat we're after doing they say fair fair swap thing mmm my swapped like Joe Bradley and don't feel Beckham and Mourinho and all them and I was like I tell you those moors they're a disgrace absolutely start doing all this set it to the boys and all the boys like Jase that's brilliant and it's really creative that's really creative yeah we didn't about I don't know what he wanted me to do it wasn't me room just messin and I did it and then literally within the lads were like get it online and I was like nah nah not and I suppose they even understood back then like I think he put it online from the first video if it's a local story it's only gonna ever go locally I'm like if I did the same thing maybe for the championship yet that might go nationally so like I barely slept that night the next day woke open eyes of them say hey believe me breakfast and I did a sketch of a bunch of Irish people talking with the championship and put Davey fits in Brian corny Jim Gavin a couple of people that kind of weren't been doing like Gavin in that and true it up online and it got like 60,000 views and I was like I was walking through Dublin thinking like a philosopher at me he's looking at me and [Laughter] they're like a solid background well or as follows before say mommy so much so Joey called me up and over like here you want to come talk to us whatever so it did so the boys were like alright show us your stuff and I was like that's the stuff floods and they were like all right look they gave me a week back with some Premier League stuff and I came back to them it just wasn't the scratch like and then there were like great I tell you what we're not gonna give you a job boiling you should set up a page then if you think you're bored and everything else but I realized in that week where they didn't give me the job was these things can get better like it's not like I'm an impressionist and that's it it's like if you work at these yolks it's like muscle memory like you can get way better at them and way better at them and III as soon as I knew that then I quit me on her job or whatever like I was working for tree selling phones when I just quit job and I was gonna keep this six months I gave it six months another job their majority you after all four that's that's crazy like going in you but you didn't even really have a portfolio but then how'd that meeting and then coming out of it and you not getting the job you're probably like right I do have time for this and then I should really go for it as well yeah I think I remember kind of just I suppose lots of people read all them books and it's all about taking a chance and taking a risk and self-improvement and all this kind of stuff and I remember when that happened to me and I was like what I do if I go to work I kind of felt if I'm if I do this on the side I might and give it everything and if I get one or two knocks and we just shun away from it then because I have a job so I was like I'm just best off like putting the pressure of meself here like even like obviously my parents are a bit like just you're quitting your jobs making I was 27 you know so they were obviously looking at me was this letter but his life but I remember taking around that time I was like I yeah like if I have an opportunity to like have a laugh for a living you know yeah may as well go first yeah what about your friends or find like I know your parents were like what are you doing boy what's your friends say dad just all me friends do you want me parents were like when I say they were like well where did the weren't like claimed like just ask me you surely but like after I said I was sure they were like I'll do what you want mommy friends like your friends brilliant as well like you know under there I stay I use all them to this day a nearly for sometimes content like sometimes like tell me if that's a good impression or whatever I grew up playing football or whatever in a dressing room like and I suppose you grew up then not clean a leg lad culture and having the craic and stuff and the lads are a good gauge of what is funny all right a great degree you know so when I send it today I'm in there like they're like yeah let's go Jer or like it you know I'll tell you that's not your best like when they say that then I've often like not put something up or whatever if I gave their lives or even brothers but like that's not the best that's that's very important that's very important we sell for us like we'd like I'm so like anal about this I got like I think if we don't start off well I think about the people that are listening so like I'll be like we'd be like 10 minutes into a show whatever like well I think we didn't start again man how did you get so annoyed when you're like it's just like I wouldn't do it if it wasn't like go to our standard you know yea years so long hubs O'Connor is like all you can see Barry thinking about it and then like once you guys think Bale it's game over I'm like are you [ __ ] messing like cuz like like that's Huey sort of like drifts off the conversation just yeah again and then you know some more than you crack a joke I think you have start again you hate that joke when you don't know Christ I don't get you know in yeah in here like sometimes when I'm doing the monologue and I have the lads in front of me and I always like looking back at it cuz like it's it's stressful getting the lines right when you're there and you're looking into a camera and you're like in this week on the show we're gonna have whatever and then you're like ah [ __ ] and you're like and you're watching this back I just kind of stopped laughing to myself but the boy is gonna do say that they see me sometimes if I'm reading them on like I start thinking man I'm looking off to the left and then the words are gone but they were saying when you're in a studio you might have to deliver it the hardest part of doing this monologue administer like so I can't gauge or even bring your energy up or down when I'm doing a light gig or whatever you know people start laughing at your energy goes up do you know I'm just it's like everything just momentum on and you don't have that here but the word that lads were saying that like when you have a live studio audience and these shows like very often you'll have to say alright guys you're gonna hear that joke again you know I'll show you laugh again it's put upon them signs where you hit the button and it says applause no no not that like something a lot of time they'll use their whatever was Lapid we're like if you mess up at York and they still laugh at a port we've to go back over it you know we'll have to like say to the audience who lives all right cuz you're gonna hear that again make sure you lat it's man yeah like what what you're doing now is just it's unbelievable you must be like like from going in from that meeting could leaving with Joe and then all of a sudden you're here now in Florida like like what happened once you once you sort of left Joe and then I'll see you went down a roof like no many people did at all like just focusing a toning in the Gulf how did you also don't be like right Golf is my home do you know what to tree sports that I watch a lot our Gea soccer and golf yeah 33 that I be into I'd watch Ruby like again like jump on the bandwagon Six Nations World Cups Jim Tom I know I'm definitely a lens affine I'm not the know there's loads of monster friends a from the Lancer or whatever border at this top actually I stole I'm your brother I thought I was grand tough for the gym I supposed to but like this video I just changed and I know but like but I'd like that I put I need watch if monster or Lancer get into a good European game you're watching that and you know so it's again that I might go into at some point but I just focused in on like GA stuff and the stuff and some of the lads that weren't being done like Jarrell ik nan and you know I've done a sketch for soon again this weekend it's Sherlock man you know the last stance will make it Jordan yeah bring it on believable okay the last jig which you're like man thank you yeah last year in charge like just he's parroting my Rodman he's resting the whole club and I just get stirred it's probably the wackiest thing I've done so far but I was doing that and then when I did soccer I focused on doing em clap and pepijn in because no one was doing them and then I realized like wow 2018 we fought it became the captain of our men's captain of our local golf club and I realize no one's doing golf oh like I've nobody like if you go into politics in Ireland be like you've all of her you've Mario you know you go into like different sports whether I laid in tyranny as well there's boo talk to God for nobody asked nobody doing I couldn't believe Tiger Woods is the one of the biggest sports stars the planet no one ever done his voice I was gonna say you to Connor do you think no one entered into golf because Tiger ruled seems like he's hard to do and I think that was maybe one of the big reasons you know if you can't do the main fella well then maybe it's no point getting stuff because oh no you tell me is he a hard impression to do no he was he'd say actually gave up on doing him like in every I was like I'm not gonna do my brother was like mine you can't put out a video a coffee what I would Tiger Woods imagine like he got a PlayStation golf game and they're all in appetizers 9 yeah we're rich you know he was like if you get Tiger you Wayne America and literally I had him enough then I spent four days before the video was supposed to go on the moon and I just absolutely watched video out the video like just watch me I realized and I was like the man says [ __ ] off he just turned around he's like the conditions were really tough out there you know and it's the same interview all the time you know he's just so media trained right you have that so spot-on as well like just watching back your stuff I know I'm super gonna get into you and tigers becoming best mate snowboarder you have a so nailed on I'm like and then like like poor you said there you have to make sure that you had to talk it was part of the video if you would have put that out whatever him in it you just would have been tapping into the European seeing green but then get annoyed woods in then that is the whole mark you know two percent yeah available very European and even like his I do anyone I had in I think was a Dustin Johnson in it as an American father recently he covered a lot well not too reasonable a while ago he commented on you on your video he's like it lacks remind me aware it was it was time I think I think we're lucky I'll forward the economy over and he was like all of you the presses are great and what me is like it's like it's ground I mean no one likes to say that something's a great impression yeah what you see dead without doubt he did kind of tank that like the end of the day like it's impossible to be a hundred percent exactly like the person boss it's like Poulter importer I interviewed him for the show last week and I was like what was your first impression my impression he was like oh well I I thought that don't sound anything like me but then I listened Tiger and Tommy in sir John what he's got em spot-on and everyone's talking about me but again they're all kind of exaggerations and in fairness I would say my tiger is that the reason we tiger so spot-on at this point and it's all just man let's practice that's all it is it's because I had to do that right so I spent so long doing him making sure layered that like down pretty add like and it's probably even way better than it was even from that time at the act and well yeah it stores everyone say is that like I'm sure if someone did an impression of me someone rolled up one day I did an interview and I'm like if he says like and stuff again something about paying out money or something like that and I listen back and I was like geez I said you know I was like just like those little inflections as well I'd say be mortified I've seen someone doing me good way you add you're actually a bit of flavor on to the characters it does make you like extremely good and like I can understand understand how all this is where it is is coming to you now and like you full-on deserve it because obviously going like did they going down the Gulf or something that you did really like so therefore you had a passion for it you weren't like Oh Janelle what no one's doing NASCAR or no one's doing Formula One I'll be Lewis Hamilton you're like oh you actually called going in doing the golf and then the way you do it's way out and the way you're standing on your show as well I know I know it like you must be feel real comfortable in your room doing a port the way you do it I'm like this is gonna do really really well like I think you're gonna go like I know you said there's 25 seats well that's definitely gonna be bigger I think there's there's way more to Chrome as well like this is this is like the way you've adapted trucco by 19 for your show like 10 min the next step already be guaranteed having to have the audience it's gonna go bigger I can see you doing something big because they're really playing on your on your Irishness the way you get out of the car with the British and with the Treaty of clover fork over on the plane and then you're walking down there playing there the music in the background we think they're mad into your mono we think they love you you know I was actually I was like I don't fancy all that boys ma I'm playing the patty carrot like you know or like hey you live in America man eat them look at that no you know I'm making it to like a heart you know yeah you're like shut up they're like you're in America we love Irish people this is it it's like this is how you get the big books right no you never checked it back home and I really bought a me you have yourself to be ownership in Ireland people like hate you for like Connor have you thought of it change me to Connor Oh more arc on a Mac Morgan yeah that's actually second name is Alan Barrymore yeah all I feel like come on you're going talk ass just like Ross and the Moors yeah but like Connor like yeah like they they you can totally obsolete you know via but like we were talking about so it was let's talk about the talk abou thing I know you told the story about a million times were there for the people they were checking it out now like all of a sudden you got it you got a chance to do any an advert with Tiger Woods say the biggest name in golf ever first of all how did this come about and then when it did what were you thinking a Kimbo us remember again and a tweet off Bridgestone apparently they had seen a video I'd donor something a couple of people have worked in Britain had seen a couple of videos but then they'd seen like that I was on the Golf Channel and like our people are taking this dude seriously yeah he's on the TV sitting went back to Bridgestone were like you know what about putting him in the end of a tiger he does a really good Tiger so I got this tweet anywhere and from Bridgestone it's like I won't talked about a potential opportunity and I was like ah deadly and I swear to god my brother can attest to this I was like rich don't want me to do something with him or whatever he said what you think it is I guys know at least I probably get free golf balls from here anyway you know in South balls and hot but I was thinking and and then they said about Tiger Woods and I was like what and I was like like I knew it was legit when I got it I just heart like so I was trying to like dig deeper into it I was like yeah listen course like whatever you want me to do I'm be there you know but I was like just tiger know about this and they're like well no we're gonna mention it to him and his agent now in the next two days or whatever about this is really early in the morning later on that evening they're obviously behind us like what around nine o'clock that night then email comes in or like our Tigers up free I think's very good sorry did they send the videos to him to be like here this is the person you're gonna be doing the video with or was it just like he knew do you know what the golf game because the video is like even at the day I did my video Nichol millions views and Tiger was in them like he was telling me at the thing like he first saw me when he was at it goes too soon someone that week two masters was like see this fellas impersonate me whatever and then the matting was when I met him he asked me who's the dude you do with the condom on your head and stuff like [Laughter] he actually watched like the YouTube videos and stuff and even he was there and he was my favorite one you do is McGregor man it's so good I mean that dude is tough always actually quite socially awkward in the or is he just noise Boyer not at all man he's dead on he's absolutely dead on he was like Dave dead on to me anyway I made me feel very comfortable at the end like there was no way airs and graces or anything about him like he was that that was people go almost materials like you know it was real it was surreal how just normally was and that I find that now and the more you meet these people like at the end of the day the iron normal people like just with extraordinary talents for something and one of you pissed off and golfers I don't know like not no one has said anything so far like you know I met serger last year I don't see I gave him that laugh and stuff and I remember I met him and I was that excited him and I looked at months ago here and he was like oh hey and I remember kind of taking hater hates me or he doesn't recognize so then I went to pull my hand out and I said father just introduce himself whatever so put me hand though he just goes like this to me face whatever and I was like all right he goes man what's with the left man what's with the left I mean the impressions really good why'd you give me the left it was my wife now every time I'm like angry in the house she's walking around [Music] well that actually if you played like obviously you play golf go by yourself who'd be like really well-known people you would have played rounds with or have you and you know what in terms of playing golf a lot of Irish let's play a bit of golf Rickie Fowler haven't played mine was supposed to go down to Shane Shane's only about two hours from me and Larry and we're supposed to play golf we might actually possibly I might be going on that when next week and we might get around ninh and what are you playing off by the way actually I'm playing off sixteen I know I everyone thinks I'm there the wreck and I'm about to be scratching all this to see me playing golf all the time but I yeah well here at that occasions your crass you know pretty much yeah well I actually fit Lord's golf last year but you'd be tired playing golf over here all the time you walk like in America it's just like it's all about having a few beers I'm in Ireland I've never ever drank of my life on a golf course Mike weird like in Ireland it's the 19th hole into the clubhouse point Guinness forum only had a few beers playing golf it's so much better gray crack you're actually you're actually looser and in America I realize you're a bit looser after about two or three beers but then I again I'm not the biggest fell in the world so a four beers in like I'm Jack there so like I was always kind of drunk on the back nine last year of most rounds I played I swear to God cuz it's like the character who comes over some days you're actually I won't they want but a suit like the weather's good this girl comes over buying she's handing you drink you know on it's like a different way to play golf over here like just it definitely is not that it's not as enjoyable in Ireland like but it's just different it's like I think I think an island like golf's almost like a really serious game and that's but it's almost more like when you go out and play like you're trying to win as opposed oh I think people do more for enjoyment in America oh yeah it's more like just a crack and stuff like that and drinking and stuff you know but it's I'm saying I I don't like the cards I ride or walk with the bag over here everything is a carrot I ride a rock with the bag because you can just chat with yeah I listen to one of your stories one of your friends and I forgot his name well you're actually in the studio it was a while ago maybe a year or two ago well you brought up a story about how you and Justin Timberlake I've been a history I was wondering if you could tell us that story because I'm sure people will really enjoy Oh where I was I was doing a gig last year in California yeah you said Carlton was there as well yeah yeah it's a celebrity golf tournament yeah and like a bunch of like I see I was walking into the room and obviously I live in Ireland I don't watch American football really I don't really watch American sports don't watch hockey I watch Ben football now that more over here like well I did and when it comes back I watch it

I was like well that's my last line Thank You Timberlake or whatever and he's like the gig ends like but everyone's laugh and he comes up to me at the end of it he's like dude great gig I want to apologize you know for saying your last line or whatever do what you want I'm helping you send me last line no we're over 10 I'm were chatting for a few minutes and he is he's dead on nice file a

takes your cream I was it just intimidating some creep man he's like you know he's an idiot and I was like well I was in the bathroom yes before the bathroom oh yeah anyways I guess that was creepy you know like you're actually just I wasn't ready for that story brilliant it was absolutely brilliant really was my boss you met cord Darcy in the jacks yeah I heard that story and and I was like dr. Brennan story and then I listened to your show well for as well that was very good as well sure how he's killing it as well well they're like I know you didn't finish there you got the photo later on and it wasn't going probably wouldn't mind the sent to four different buildings inches that's a bad photo like it was in the dark it was a selfie or whatever and I don't know what was with it but it was kind of blurry it was like it just wasn't word golfer I would mind I I don't know what it is I hate asking for photographs yeah yeah yeah we do see the thing is mr. Burroughs have to be in the follow so like we have to like you you have to George who would be a good person take a photo cause like it's one second you can't be like back and be like also he can't get in little there's a nurse his merit to this game you know Oh big time that was another thing he I know jack was there a couple weeks ago and his manager took the photograph and in fairness to the manager I had me dad there wit me like some dad really wants to photograph and there you know the board was did great forward we have to have at home you know yeah yeah and he's manager leg took about seven photographs this manage was like boom and he's it not done like that one no no I think my right eye was they got fairly urgent the first one was all blurry and it was like if you get that blurry one your raging then you're gonna home at this quarterback can't even put up tell me where we were over in Edinburgh at the orders will be at Six Nations was a lot about you know two years ago working yeah we think that we need ya to come to see job and we're in the airport the orders were we came in the airport's well I was like oh that was class and they just warms out so one of the lads is there and he was like it was like I'm pretty sure I met new you have one off team already knows like here you have to get a photo one them like to commemorate your trip like don't your mind and I'd be like look be metal at the airport you know mix and there was a great there's chugging sexing I'll ask him for you when Isaacson take the photo and the Sun was coming in behind and obvious he is one the last son there but his arm around this person and you can't see anything it's just big glare from your face he was like wow that's the worst I've ever seen a toy a lot so then I had to go get a I was like right wait here a second then I saw board yeah key and was like boondi wait there a second get in there and took a photo of boondi and it was a crown phone I was like there you go he met someone I know actually in Iran and the Ryder Cup two years ago and I was obviously I was working with NBC or whatever and they have a hospitality tent on the grounds all the time when they're televised events so I I did I think it a hit with Sky Sports to do that morning so I was up really early and it was like 6:30 and I went over and I was eating a croissant and coffee and I was watching TV and I was sitting there for ages in this place was empty just me and this other guy and I was sitting for ages and then I left apartments after early breakfast they left so after watching the the Gulf that morning looking at a few notes for what I was going to say on the TV and I got to the door and this lady was like did you did you did you meet Michael are you talking to Michael err uh Michael who like mighty Jordan Isaac no I haven't met him yet known she said while you were sitting beside him there for the last like half an hour where he was out there Jordan honestly about ten feet from me watching the TV and I remember like I I was like I'm gonna go back and it was a get it go back I don't skate sports but I brought to him he may it's the Ryder Cup and then Jordan was in that hospitality tent all day or a week and when we went to the bathroom it's an herb a true story lurks the bathroom is favored as my friend was coming in Jordan was walking in his wealth about and it was funny we Frank came back out and he was like I stop Jordan outside the bathroom and I just said to Moses I get Michael sorry would you mind getting photograph I just looked at me and he goes no that's the thing he's been known for that yeah do you think do you think he would have he would said yet to you I have no idea I don't know like because he might know as well Jordan well like you may see him one of your videos on the tiger shirt they're like best mates and that ad would have been on the Golf Channel so I'm sure he might recognize my face whether he I doubt he knows who I am no ball you never know like maybe the biochip they were Conor while we're on the subject hogwards right obviously yeah Tim and Peyton Manning were victorious over Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady did you watch any of that I did yeah I thought it was class ultimate it was so much better than the previous did McIlroy and the boys had a skins their week before a skins game and that was good the skins game I actually enjoyed watch it was nice to see a bit of gulf but this one for me was better because you had two amateurs that like could potentially hit pretty bad shots and because brady was kind of struggling i think everybody was like oh that's me like that's what I already made it to me I talked brady made it I just haven't door instead of seen because when the boys did it a week before it was good like put all the shots were good shots the shots weren't like I loved maybe we cynic and everyone you look to seeing Brady go near the tree you like alright alright I'll bounce your mind the ceiling and just to see what reaction and Tiger and fail in the trash talk that we'll go back and forth like they were hitting good shots all day it's hard to trash-talk do you know yeah if you're at that but like you can slide like Tiger said to my one point Brady went into the thing he was like oh dude don't worry that's in a fairway on seven it was on the 9th or so if any idea what Brady played the plays off he plays off seven rays okay I want the money paid off because you don't play as good as Tiger and fail at some homes Manning Manning's irons an approach today like believable he did look absolutely quality but I think and Manning plays oh I think it's before we play it's a lot more gulf he's retired he plays with tiger a lot so I was wondering what made the parents as well I was like I was like how did it was a global or a wolf meant probably mean like Brady and Ward's originally cuz like obviously Brady's like the goat and Merrick football employers to go in there in golf and link against their arch-nemesis that made sense but obviously if those who are our mates that's why they're together yeah I think it was that like cuz I was even thinking how was Jordan not finish like I know what I went for it maybe it went from the two footballers but like Steph Curry is like yeah oh my god he's brilliant like if you have to do their corresponding partnerships it for Irish they'd like the art affairs and who would you pick because Ross pay pay pay this sort of pairing so who would you need to go for all fight to pick this would occur the equivalent or te we're putting on or te how we're doing for charity who's golfing with you so it's Harrington and Lowrie or is it all of Ireland like include Northern Ireland yeah you got my parole you can have never you want yeah all right well then for me it's Shane Lowry versus Rory McIlroy and the the amateurs the celebrities I go who would I go but the sport and celebrities like the boys yeah yeah Robbie Keane is Robbie Cain's one Robbie Keane and Brian O'Driscoll oh no it's organic I picked their Johnny Sexton verse Ronan O'Gara because I was like I was like that's the Tom Brady or Peyton Manning of Ireland yeah I suppose yeah although to me like I suppose risking like is like the all-time and I'm Robbie Keane like for me I think Robbie games like Ireland's graced and sportsman like he's like poor harrington up there with him as well but I think keen or like just from me Keane is like that I know he doesn't have the accolades when you can't have the accolades Neverland the Tom Brady has like we didn't Championships or whatever or that I don't know yeah me I'd have to stick rabbuna for entertainment purposes I'd almost make a change or did a reverse Darwin Clark because I feeling maybe more more crack on the course yeah don't let definitely I'd say be good craic and yeah I just I think for the competitiveness story the Open champion is the world's number one yeah hey guys and stuff you'd have to go to two boys and then yeah I'd still stick with Robbie and I bought because I know the children like leg out as well yeah brawn just was monitor go busy sure chose Robbie Keane actually exactly he's got some career as well poor Connor I get before you're out team's up like like it's just sort of looking into the future like well what do you sort of see is sort of like what what are you sort of looking forward to because then therefore you more content to make so like over the next sort of like when things get back to the new norm what are sort of things that you're looking forward to being like right boom like obviously the Reuter Corp is something that's gonna be enormous for you yeah we don't know if that's gonna be played now that's the only thing yeah anything's our schooling certainly I'm looking forward to Premier League coming back and definitely our team actually Liverpool no order no wonder oh yeah you know I listen and I'm not a massive believe you me if Liverpool didn't win it or something like I ain't gonna lose any sleep I'm that much into it for them like they deserve it like what a year and it's for me I just I think it'll be deadly just getting it back anyway just for a bit of cracks watching sports on television even if it is weird I think it's kind of funny watching them like it's on the league there's no one had games or whatever yeah so I'm looking forward to that and then like you said hearing her on about the show maybe like who knows if showgirls legs and with golf like you could go around like golf kind of swings around America like that it starts out on the west coast at start a year when the weather's really good and then around this time and kids over here to the east and you're up like Florida New York and I'd love to be doing shores maybe like you could do live shows of the show you could do it every week in a different place you could follow the PGA Tour or something you don't follow the majors and you could have what would you do would you do it on like a Wednesday yes yeah a Wednesday a Thursday evening or something after the event and you're probably doing a ters there's something I've gotta iron I date you might have bit people yeah people might be there at the location as well yeah sure we were gonna do something like that anyway no it wasn't gonna be like we're gonna do we're a good podcast was chatting a couple of lads back in Ireland like a few boys were coming up for us hope and Karen Donaghy and that we were gonna have a night in the bar that we were opening up in New York so we're gonna do a show on the Friday instead for the open maybe anything probably blend in a bit of GE as well with it for there the opportunities there and this for you man anything I'd you know what like I said you know I know it's a cheesy thing to say and everyone always says all when you're doing something you love you don't work a day in all this kind of stuff but that that is a that is true like it's true especially for me because it's just it's sports and I'm involved in you know so for me it's never work because I like technically if I'm watching sports today and you could say I'm working whatever if I'm like checking out what's on Sky Sports News what the Mourinho say I'd be looking at that anyway I'd be at work if I was working away just on the internet reading those stories so like it's well I suppose video contents probably your biggest thing that make sure you watch so Ella's mom you read all the articles to the you know so the Coyotes come home or whatever ball I mean I suppose when you see the infuser it gives you that sort of you know I'm gonna give you that like looked at some windows or I might give you you know about one lawyer to wait for delivery and so absolutely yeah the videos are crucial for that like just and that's everyone asked me or what's the process and stuff and it's the most boring thing in the world it's just literally listening and watching videos like that's all it is like I actually took off all the music on my mobile phone like so I don't know I've no music on my phone like not no iTunes or Spotify and I've got podcasts that I listen to and then I've got a folder where I download YouTube videos of people talking so like right after I was pretty free morning this morning like I probably want to go outside and listen to one or two voices and just say outside somewhere or you go for a drive sometimes but just it kind of gives me I remember thinking to myself how many hours of the day at the way daydream since music because when you're listening to music you're in a movie in your own head I'd be like kicking a point in the county final listening to some song from one Joe of living on the prayer something like if I was using that a bit more wisely like you know what I mean and actually because a lot of it like I say is muscle memory I just have to remember how a fella says something and then I have to practice how I don't want to practice enough I get it but then I have to keep it going and then you find out little words and then people it's like the Tiger Woods thing people write you status unbelief that is spot-on but it's only because like I would have walked around for weeks listening to Tiger like you I'd be in the shop talking to somebody sometimes I'll go into the shop I'm practicing Ricky Gervais is last week I was walking into the shop down here but in today pharmacy there's CVS and I walked him like Hello okay I wasn't by the way agree with that as well that was great I was great I would literally go it's like method acting so I'd go in and actually cool the tail and start talking Humana's Ricky Gervais is like they don't have a clue or if I'm walking around outside and I'm doing tiger in the year or and do matching McConaughey I'm walking on well absolutely is really I really enjoy their movie last one save my earphones in no-one actually thinks I'm at they think I'm on wholesome yeah I do this all the time man that's actually bring you know I actually have at Harvard I know do impressions well I suppose you know we just have your headphones in you can have their own conversations and people won't think you're crazy yeah you know what if you're practicing anything or your practice in a speech or I'd be even before a live gig I'll put the earphones in and I'll usually get have those ones in with the wire so everyone knows that you're actually and they walk around you do to like get to yourself people just think talking on the phone to them no one cracked yeah Wow well you have to be like you have to be special to be doing content like this you know poor they're kind of like before wrap things up like you obviously living in America now and what's your what's your sort of plan they're like it like it's like a year or what do you think you'll be staying there forever you know that's my girlfriend listening I know at the minute I just think you know you're just seeing how the show goes first yeah and the show was only eight episodes initially um I read episode is next week but it's picked up now officially for another ten or twelve episodes were running in September that's pretty modulation with a little break whatever runs in September and then obviously we talk about next year and do you know what as I said the thing I'm focusing on every week just porn I would show ya do that every week then next week that look after next year exactly exactly well first we wish you all the very very best we love seeing it my dad loves it because he's mad and watching the golf like is he thinks he actually needs her got hostile so I keep doing what you're doing and that's ears thanks for having me on the pot really enjoyed it great not just brilliant yeah Conor like I'll see you will have to catch on again I don't know for it's not the big goes up you know me recoupment yeah when the who knows who knows you know Kentucky to where you're doing mine it's it's brilliant I was watching the shows and like for people watching now like I'm not like a massive golf amp or like like I was watching yourself and I was like you could do almost doing this with say if it was football or if it was obviously the guy like it could be the kind of more show but you can do whatever for it you know it's just is the character and stuff you can doing it yeah it's just it's it sets you apart from what who else you know I thought that like you know I'm doing a I heard the missus is putting in a plaid store to each get your own shell to get to home whooping or Thea's well like that's they let a good opportunity go there as well but I its that was her number I definitely think it would a something like that would work a sort of Sports Show and obviously back in Ireland they don't really do that canid monologue piece the camera stuff that's something I've conducted learn on the fly that's very American very American but you're brilliant I'm on I was like I was like Jesus like you are the real deal you know not that I doubted you I was just like no no but like it's like so many people would be more like sort of sketch comedy and it wouldn't be more in the rooms this that in the order but like you're there basically on your on your converted cess and that's kicking it out of the park held and one doesn't even say yeah thanks a million for everyone who's watching a home made sure to like share subscribe and as always stay energized
