Honesty

George starts talking about Honesty and being honest to one's own ideals and to others around you, Garvin's head jerks up quickly and shout's out with Gusto "Mine's a Double Shot Mocha hold the lemon".  George Seems a tad bemused at this seemingly random statement.  So Garvin in a slightly clearer more enunciated voice repeats so there is no mistaking it this time, "I said Mine's a Mocha, the one with the chocolate?" 

George retorts quickly, "Why on heavens earth would I be getting you a coffee?".  You said "Frank and Honest" did you not? They sell coffee do they not?  No Coffee today Garvin, if I am to be Frank and Honest about it!. 

That's Just Great! Here I am with my back against the wall and all I can do is fall forward on my face and you won't even stand me a coffee, well that's it "There's no Going Back Now!", I will just go get myself one. As Garvin is falling forward gracefully into a little bit of a jog off into the distance, George shouts out "Get me a Green Tea while you're at it!".

The lads are getting "Honest" and making it "Real" talking about "Feelings", "Emotions" and other such "Girly" stuff.  George starts to open up about his "Mood Swings", how he has been "Up" and "Down" on the proverbial "Waves" of late.  Garvin was not really minding what was being said and blurts out with another piece of incoherent mantra that he has being cobbling together for all of 30 seconds, " Leg is fine! Arm is fine! Heart is OK! I feel Tired! I feel Happy! I feel Hungry! " Jaysus, I could murder a pint now!...".  George's Mood lifts immediately - "Mine's a Stout with Whiskey Chaser, now have at it!".

George and his Mum have developed a nice new morning routine, he forces her to watch an episode of our show to make her feel happy.  So she thinks that he is now the new Terry Wogan with a daily TV slot.  She is very relieved that her son has now made it to the big time, whereas George is happy to have the one subscriber view on a regular basis for that very demanding algorithm. Garvin not to be out done is watching an episode on YouTube in the evening and listening to a podcast every other morning, you do have to keep the numbers up after all. The lads are easily pleased after all they honestly have the best possible audience they could wish for, to others they have simply taken narcism onto a new minimalistic level.

The Jokers are getting comfy in their respective skins so to say, more polished even. Garvin is now "Turning Up" as he calls it, well that's what he is saying to the family, he is "Dressed to Impress" as he moves from hall to kitchen, from living room to office or Studio as he now wants it called. "I'm off to do my show in the studio!" can be heard on a regular basis in the house, to anyone that wants to know or listen, normally there isn't anyone there, but he shouts it out anyway, "The Universe" needs to know as it has a major role to play in most of the episodes. In Northern Ireland "The Universe" watches a similar story role out daily, George dressed in waistcoat, cravat and sports jacket shouting out to all and sundry, "I'm off to the Shed, Studio! Studio! to do my show, don't come out, unless it's with Tea and Biccies!". 

The Lads are trying to be "With it", "Fresh", "Rebels" even, however there's just no amount of mid fifties anything is going to be anymore than what it is, "The Odd Couple" or to be frank and honest two "Blokes" trying to be themselves, the Best themselves they can be, so far they are looking and sounding sharp, nobody is quite sure what they're at yet but can't say that they know either.

Two Sharp Dressed Men and quick of wit, not afraid to enter into conversation battle with anyone foolish enough to say hello and ask them how they are. How long have you got, have you not somewhere better to be because they have two lifetimes of opinion and "have at you" to give an airing should you care to partake. You can choose auditory or visual they cater to all mediums and if you give them a few more months, you can have the written version as well with supporting compendium.  Will you be in our audience please?", can often be heard in the distance as the bemused and stunned run not so gracefully away...
