Jim remembers a house that was called the Gnome House and Jim, I think I remember the house you're talking about. She knows. Good morning guys. Um I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but there used to be a house in Ballybowden that had Hundreds and hundreds of

uh garden domes in the front garden and they had the roof of the house painted green and there was just decoration everywhere. All year round. Mad looking. Two sisters owned the house I think. It was just a... It was just up past a pub called the Tuning Fork, which I don't even know if it's still there, right? But I was a kid and I remember It's a nearer church.

Er it's no it's beside a b uh another probe as well. I used to know because I used to work up in the mountains and I'd cycle past it and this house was just filled. With gnomes. Gnomes. There must have been a hundred gnomes in the garden. So it is decorative. There's no reason for it. I don't think there is. Jennifer wants to talk about her gnomes. Good morning Column Malusi.

Uh morning coming, you see, I used to be afraid of garden gnomes and my aunt when I visited her house she used to have to go around her garden and cover up all the gnomes she had. with little blankets. And so instead of garden gnomes it looked like she had all these little mini ghosts around her garden. Very good.

Brilliant. Okay, Laura has a norm story as well. Everyone has a norm story. Born in Guys. Morning. Um when we were younger my dad had won out our front And I remember um he looked like an old gnome and his boot used to um be ripped and his toe sticking out. Yeah. We had him for years and years and Yeah. We didn't have him. My dad was minding him um in his shade and he

redecorated him and painted him and he's I think that he's still there. Um he's just not out the front anymore. He's um he's in my dad's shed now. But um the the gnome easily has to be thirty years old. God. Love the show. Thank you. You gotta you gotta stay with us everybody, because we've got John on the way, who's a gnome expert. Oh dear.

Anne has a gnome. It's a pope. Her name is a pope. Good morning guys. I love a good garden gnome. There was a a guy who lived here locally in Galvalley who used to make garden gnomes. Mm. but he wasn't bothered about, you know, painting them. So you got the garden

In its concrete format. Right. And my mother didn't want to paint it the usual like green and red and all multicolors and because she thought it'd be too gaudy, you know, there was a touch of heights and bouquet about her. uh a white garden gnome. He's still there actually. Is he? And he's still white. Well, off white maybe now. But um

Uh this guy actually that that made the garden gnomes also made other uh figurines for the garden and uh we also have um a Pope John Paul type gnome out there. Um so yeah Right there. Garden story. In the front garden. I just had a great idea, right? Whatever it is, let's talk about it before you pitch it. No no no no I think you'll like this one. So a set of gnomes, four gnomes, right? They're little gnomes in your front garden but they're each of them looks like one of the Beatles.

Why would you have that now? Are you painting for Christmas? So you've got little gnomes, but they're band gnomes and people go up by going, Oh look at the cute gnomes, oh my god, it's the Beatles It's not great. No. Or you could have a Mariah Carey gnome. Like famous gnomes. I think I wanted something here, guys. Now, Try Timu. I'd say they probably already exist.

We were talking earlier on uh somebody said about the house in Ballybowden, which everyone remembers uh i if you're of an age, right? And there was like a hundred gnomes in the front garden. They even painted their house pink and green like a gnome. There's pictures there. You saw the picture, didn't you? Yes. Well Christina is actually related to the person who uh lived in the house. No. Yes. Hi, Lucy and Colum. Yeah, so that was my partner's Nan's house in Ballybowden. Yeah.

Which wasn't, you know, not a great job for him to do but yeah, he loved it. It was so um everybody like used to come and see it from everywhere. Well, no place like no. No place like no. Column Lucy in the morning. Weekdays from 6 a.m. on Ireland's Classic Hits Radio.

Let's do a few silly fears. And this all started from Janice, our uh friend, who yesterday told us she has a ridiculous silly fear of gnomes. Well it's silly to rational rationalism. Rational is different.'Ca th therefore rational rational is involved. Silly is just doodle doodle I don't know why. You know what I mean? That's the science. No. I think you'd be lifting people's fears. Uh But that's fine. Okay. Sheila has a fear of well you tell us, Sheila. Morning, everyone tries to get shading.

and I am absolutely petrified of butterflies and Right. I would actually run out in front of a car. Oh true. I see him coming towards me and it's just I get slagged at home terrible over it but I think it's a good thing. It isn't a rational fear. I can't help it. Please get rid of the mall, will you? I don't know how to help you there. Sheila, Sheila, Sheila. Therapy. Therapy for butterflies. Well yes, because th th there's a reason for everything.

Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok So there's a reason why you have a fear of something and sometimes it's you gotta go back, it's in your subconscious somewhere. Is there a reason for Brenda's fear? Thank you. Good morning guys, I have a serious fear of cows. Yeah. I am absolutely petrified. Like they freak me out. I have no idea why. Right. But I just can't cope with them at all. Yeah, I'd love to know why. Again there's a reason.

Did you ever walk past a herd of cows in the middle of the night and shine your phone light at them? Not yet. All of their lights, all of their eyes shine back. Yeah. And you can't see anything but the eyes. It's quite freaky. So you gotta f you gotta go back and find out did something happen when you were a baby? And then the body has then kind of kept it in. Like you must have b worn a l I think Fran put you in a lot of pollencks when you were younger.

Possibly, yeah, yeah. That's my fair now, yeah. Okay, last one. D we could do these for the next twelve years, but we we mightn't be here for twelve years. As in the No, here. Like we have to go home. Come on. Hi, Colm and Lucy. Love the show. It's Dee here. I have an irrational fear of anything talking or moving that shouldn't. For example... I hate transform.

Okay. Um they absolutely freak the living daylights out of me. I can't watch Transformers movies. I just I c feel like I can't breathe. And also the ads on the television where animals are talking or things like that just absolutely freaks me. Wow. Bye. And a great jingle for a show. Well anyway, thank you, Gene. Please keep them coming. We can do these tomorrow. Well you could do them for the next twelve years. Yeah, but we can find out why, do you not think it's interesting?

We could start therapy.

You need a therapist. M part of my contract, this contract anyway, is that I'm not allowed to take to Jasmine on air because of what I said and the fact that uh we had to d uh release an apology to the next. We we didn't.
