 What's up, it's Jason Flood and this is Real Talk. Today I have a very special guest. He is the only journalist on Irish Radio to have interviewed five former boxing heavyweight champions. In Clare you may know him for his time at RCB Radio. Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Conlon. Jim, how are you? How are you doing? Long time no see. Long time no see, yeah. Like many of my guests, we work together in the park studio. Yeah, yeah. But you're in Clare a lot, but what brings you here to Dublin? I spoke to Jason for a moment and we're doing a radio course at State FM. I like to start to chat, talk, shout, start to roost. Opportunities below on Clare aren't really available to that music, so I've been here left with Clare Minor footballers and after that I'm looking for postures and new challenges. And now you're in Clare, but you're doing a lot of podcasting outside of RCB Radio where you've had ridiculous guests, like just crazy. Tell me about these guests in terms of boxing. Yeah, I suppose in terms of boxing, I suppose I've had Evander Holyfield, Ray Jones, Junior, Larry Holmes, Shane Mosley, Ricky Hatton, Wayne McCullough. Does Evander Holyfield, like, did you mention? I know that, let's mention that. Does Evander Holyfield, like, did you mention the year? Yeah, I did. He spoke a bit about Mike and he spoke about the friendship that he has now with Mike Tyson and I suppose Evander was fairly honest and straight to the point and what struck me was the hunger and the background story. As many of those athletes, they all come from poor, sort of, humble backgrounds and then they have to sort of, it's their story from Rex to Richard to Boston. But like, oh yeah, it's just craziness, like him and Mike Tyson, they do a lot of tours together and they make a lot of money together. Was there any, did he sound in any way, was there a bit of a bad taste? No, there was no bad taste. They talked about the friendship. As I said, it was only business and business in the ring and promotion and Mike at the time I suppose that frustration got the better of him and he acted out an impulse and many people do things in impulse and they regret it later on in life and Mike started as a born-again Christian and he regret some of these actions and himself and Evander came close through the years. Have you ever looked in terms of MMA, like training for your own MMA? I interviewed Chuck Liddell. Chuck Liddell? I didn't even know that. So yeah, he spoke again around his back story and his passion for the craft and the opportunities Dana White has given him through the years and he's hatred to Tito Ortiz. And he's fighting Tito Ortiz? Yeah, yeah, he's been doing like each other, that's for sure. Where'd you get Tito Ortiz on? It's all, I haven't reached out or reached out directly to our, I reached out to George St. Pierre as well, so we're waiting, we're waiting on those hard chapters but each week you start to put out those different fights and different leads and whatever the fish, whatever you reel in, then you go with it as the same one. But you didn't only reel in fish from the boxing world, you also went to Hollywood. You got names like Charlie Sheen, David Arquette recently. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So tell me about Charlie Sheen, is he as crazy as Tito make a movie with? I suppose Charlie, he is a dancer, sort of a guy, he likes to have the bone, he likes to have the crack. He also likes to see sports, massive into his baseball, loves his basketball, he's regularly. And he spoke about his history with Ireland and he's a bittersome, trying to come here in Ireland in the near future again. He spoke about travelling around Ireland as a nine-year-old child with his father and bag packing and seeing all the sights and attractions. What strikes me about Charlie is that he just wants normality in his life, in relations with the press and stuff like that. And once he feels you're not a threat to him, he'll open up and he'll be the Charlie Sheen that we know. So if you've interviewed these big names, is there any name in particular that you'd like to introduce? Anyone that stands out that? Like the biggest fish you could possibly catch? I suppose, in many ways, I achieve that, I suppose. I might have grown up while I was tracing my grade in T-Mac. I was a basketball player for Houston Rockets. I suppose I'm a massive basketball fan, I grew up in NBA, started my background training coach. T-Mac was always one of those people that inspired me and I suppose it took me over 15 months to get it. Constant back trial with NBC, Turner Sports, agents, past players and luckily one day I published my back story and tried Tracy, I was in Hollywood where I had T-Mac jerseys from Orlando and started stuff like that and T-Mac reached out to me and it was a go, as the saying goes. So for the people watching this, where can we find these interviews? I suppose you can find them on iTunes, the school podcast. You can also find them on my MixCloud account, I'm Jim Conlon, I'm MixCloud. You can also find them on Facebook, I do an awful lot of them if you look for Facebook as well. Why is your social media, why is your Facebook? Facebook is Jim Conlon and I suppose social media, MixCloud, if you're on MixCloud, check out our SoundCloud, check out Jim Conlon and most importantly, iTunes, the school podcast. Right, sweet Jim, it's great for having you. I haven't seen you in so long, I just look forward to hearing these interesting stories about these celebrities. I suppose Jason, I suppose one thing I would tell people is just concentrating your education grown up and for me it's been a long road, six, seven years of college when I was doing the leave and I didn't pay much to show you to my books, it was football, football, girls, discos, that sort of scenario and I suppose I didn't get the points I want for a regular course, I found myself repeating my leave and search and one of my friends got to college the only year sort of things didn't go my way, I break the stuff like that and put my head down, knuckled in my books, went to college, got my head together. Of course, there you have it. So not only did you get an education about media but you got an education about life straight from Jim Conlon. So guys, thanks for having us. Tune in next time where we have interviews with big names in the media industry. Until then, goodbye.
