Profound interview, and a subject that needs to be discussed. Vulnerability in men.

That silence after he asked Tommy if he had ever cried in another man's arms really hammered home the issue.

Needs to be discussed?

Can’t shut people the fook up today about vulnerability/sadness/tragedy/melancholy and any other poxy misery!!

I don't know if it's just him being him, but baz opened up there after the first couple of minutes in a way you just don't see often in interviews anymore. I'll put it down to the interviewer in this case, it's hard to define the skill but I think tiernan has a good dollop of it.

I was happy with the interview and I think he did a good job and I wasn't looking forward to it!

That question opened up something in me that I hadn’t faced in 19 years.

One of my best friends took his own life in 2002 at 16 years of age.

We saw him in the funeral home and my friend and I bawled in each other’s arms.

I’d forgotten about it completely, it was like Stephen King’s IT.

I just told my wife that story and it actually lifted a weight off my shoulders.

Tommy is just a great interviewer

Obviously some people have problems discussing it because of "machismo"... As Tommy said

Tommy really missed his calling as a therapist.

Not sure about that. I think Tommy himself has his own demons and that's what makes him such a profound interviewer.

Oh jaysus

Would love it if he interviewed Eddie Jordan.

Kind of interesting too in that, with all the discussion of mental health the last twenty years, it only seems to be getting worse..

Losing the stoic 'deal with it' may not be the best course of action I think..

Nose ring.
Pink hair.
Polyamory.

So it's just a new fancy label for being allowed sleep around to your partner's knowledge?

Could you imagine Tubridy asking that control question.
Great question.

castletownman

Great question Tommy.

I dare say, if a fella said he was polyamorous, he'd still be called a sleaze.

If I was stuck with that one, I'd be totally in favour of polyamory

Bit of a tonal shift here.
