Strength. Yeah, my man drink the same thing alright. 13 00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:44.059 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I pulled this specifically for specifically for this, for this, podcast I actually had to seek it out and and go and go find it. And II did so. And I've been holding it since. So I literally just just broke the seal on it. 14 00:01:44.060 --> 00:02:07.109 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: We're gonna we're gonna pour it and let it breathe for for a few minutes. I've got a Guinness that I just that it just poured as my as my starter. It wouldn't be St. Patty's Day from, you know, in in America without a little drinking before noon. It's 11. It's 11 am here, but you know it's it's it's a few hours ahead of in in Dublin. So you're you're less. You're less of an alcoholic, sounding person. 15 00:02:07.110 --> 00:02:09.669 Breda Keohan: It's launching manger card. 16 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:16.889 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Oh, God, that is good. I love Guinness I love. 17 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:24.520 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: We're gonna we're gonna let this. I'm I'm gonna give it a little taste, though, before. 18 00:02:26.530 --> 00:02:28.600 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Oh, yeah, yeah. 19 00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:30.959 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: that hasn't even that hasn't even 20 00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:49.120 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: opened up at all. And that's really good for and for cast strength that's really smooth. That's really as see, I think this is. This is perfect for me, because the thing that I always that I always 21 00:02:49.120 --> 00:03:09.709 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: don't like as much about Irish whiskey compared to American Bourbon and rises. We. We tend to make it a little hotter and a little bit higher proof, you know. Irish whiskey tends to be a little bit a little bit more mild, a little bit smoother, and so when you go, but when you go to the cast strength, this compares very, very similarly to to Bourbon on the intensity profile. And it it's 22 00:03:09.710 --> 00:03:38.229 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: man. Yeah, love it, love it. Life is good man. I'm super super busy. Probably not as busy as you but I started, I started a new job the first week the first week of January, so I'm still doing it. I'm still doing AI like I was doing before. But now I work for a new company for a much larger company. So I went from a 200 person startup to a much larger, you know. 4,000 person 23 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:52.370 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: hr company here in the in the States. So it's it's a lot of fun. I'm I'm working a lot, but not working anymore than I was. But it's it's different kind of work. So I'm instead of like just delivering projects. Now, I'm kinda doing strategy and strategic thinking. So it's a 24 00:03:52.370 --> 00:04:16.949 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: it's it's it's a lot of fun. And it's gonna be very, very busy. But it's been great so far. I love the company. It's a really really good company. It's called inspirity. But it's it's a like culture. First company that the CEO actually wrote a book about like, Take care of your people is is the name of the book, and it's all about how hire good people really take good care of them, and you can teach them skills. And you'll build a successful business around that 25 00:04:16.950 --> 00:04:29.199 Breda Keohan: as long as you build a really strong culture. So they really they really give back to the community. They they incentivize our employees to do so. And so it's been. It's been great so far. Man. 26 00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:54.550 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: yeah, yeah, it's it's great, it's great, and it's a nice it's and I'm still I'm still remote. So I still work from my basement, even though the company is headquartered in Texas. So you know, it's like 1,700 miles away as our headquarters. But, you know, II still get to work from from my little, my little cave down down in the basement here, which is, which is not too bad. But enough about me, man. People want to hear about you. You're like 27 00:04:54.550 --> 00:05:22.970 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: you're big time now. II was giving you I was Ra. I was razzing you on the messenger like, Hey, don't forget about the the little people who had you on their podcast before you're before you were famous. So get for people for people that haven't been keeping up with you. You've been on how many TV shows how many newspapers, how like you you've like, what you're doing with reviving stone lifting, and Ireland is getting a ton of attention which is fantastic to see. So so give people kind of the the rundown of what you know. 2023 looked like, as far as 28 00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:28.520 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: busy. I was thinking back. Or is this not back actually to our, to our last podcast 29 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.329 Breda Keohan: last year? And you know it was just starting to come. It was just starting to get 30 00:05:34.670 --> 00:05:40.149 Breda Keohan: a little bit of notoriety, but it was still pretty much like your small potatoes. 31 00:05:40.410 --> 00:05:50.100 Breda Keohan: but Ever since, like the summer say, like last July and August. it's it's just gone stratospheric. I mean, it's it's gone to a level where 32 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:55.420 Breda Keohan: it's almost like a jarring, I mean in in in 8 to 12 months. 33 00:05:55.710 --> 00:05:59.999 Breda Keohan: It's it's now has its own cultural identity over here. Now, you know. 34 00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:02.250 Breda Keohan: something you are doing as a hobby 35 00:06:02.630 --> 00:06:10.070 Breda Keohan: now has national airtime. You know. People are responding to it. The culture is back. People are lifting. 36 00:06:10.140 --> 00:06:14.209 Breda Keohan: There's men and women going to these stones. They're lifting these stones. They're sending me videos. 37 00:06:14.770 --> 00:06:18.430 Breda Keohan: The culture is is back. And it's 38 00:06:18.850 --> 00:06:33.869 Breda Keohan: Garner so much interest. You know. I mean, I was like on like, for all the world like the the Irish version of the you know the Conan, like no late night with Conan, or or something like that. You know what I mean. It was like one of the the biggest TV show in Ireland was when he had that 3 weeks ago. 39 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:53.979 Breda Keohan: you know, as an interview guest, I mean, you're sitting there. You're getting interviewed. And there was a nice person that is like a famous actor, or, you know, famous like you, you're getting this all of this incredible attention, you know that you'd never expected. I mean, I always hoped my main goal with the finding of these things, Jordan was to bring it back was to bring the culture back. 40 00:06:54.740 --> 00:07:04.820 Breda Keohan: Little did I think there would be so much interest in in it, and the amount of attention it's been getting has just been absolutely unbelievable, you know. So you're almost becoming 41 00:07:04.830 --> 00:07:14.830 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: called man Indiana. 42 00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:44.520 Breda Keohan: because it's taken on so much life. And you know people are actually recognizing on the street. Now you know, what I mean is really fucking weird, you know, because I'm just exact same going the exact same job I'm just. I haven't changed in that regard. But this has gotten so famous or so somewhere, getting this kind of level of fame with it, which is really strange. But it's it's it's fantastic. I mean, guys, you're on the front page of the Irish times. Just the biggest newspaper in in in Ireland, you know. 43 00:07:44.590 --> 00:07:55.669 Breda Keohan: You're on all the biggest podcasts, you know, wasn't the biggest front page, you know, front page news. And it's just, it's it's it's incredible. It's been so 44 00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:59.089 Breda Keohan: rewarding the past 12 months. The amount of attention has come. 45 00:07:59.190 --> 00:08:09.269 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Well, I mean, you started on the platform. Podcast so it was nothing but down hill. I think it's wonderful. This is this diary. Actually, the last 3 years, because 46 00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:15.890 Breda Keohan: the first year we talked. We were just talking about Canada sports. The second year we talked I was speaking about going to Scotland. 47 00:08:15.940 --> 00:08:18.680 Breda Keohan: you know, to to hopefully lift the Scottish lifting zones. 48 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:25.120 Breda Keohan: Last year we spoke of me going to Scotland and finding them the Ironstones, and this year 49 00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:27.170 Breda Keohan: the horror stories are found. And now they're. 50 00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:57.370 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I think that's the thing that the thing that I found the coolest and I've been. Why, you know I've been. I've been watching you from afar. Oh, and you can't see my! I've got my whiskey on the rock shirt on. I've got David Keogh and whiskey on the rocks shirt put that on, especially for you, for St. Patty's. This is my St. Patty's Day shirt now. So but the thing that's been super cool is I've been watching from afar is is seeing 51 00:08:57.370 --> 00:09:22.109 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: kind of the proliferation of it where it's no longer just you finding these stones right and like. Now there are other people in Ireland, because it's come back and you've you've helped establish this groundswell of people. Now, now, it's not just you getting in your car and driving all around the island looking for these fucking things. Now it's now there's other people out there finding them as well, and so you don't have to go with your with your machete, and hack through all the overbrush to be like. Oh, that's the stone 52 00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:35.729 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: cause somebody's already unearthed it for you, and they're like, oh, this Fucker, I can't lift it, but I'm gonna call David Keogh, and he could. He could bring his crew of lifters. We'll see if we can get this thing out of the dirt right like that's awesome. 53 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:46.409 Breda Keohan: I just because II think the biggest thing for me was the cultural tipping point. Was, I got onto a podcast called the blind bye podcast and blindly, would be a very well known guy. He is a cultural icon over here. 54 00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:56.050 Breda Keohan: So and he's a massive like, he's like 5 to 7 million people. Listen to a week. And between America and Ireland. And here, I mean, he's he's huge. He's a huge podcast. I think, he said. All the top. 55 00:09:56.280 --> 00:10:05.630 Breda Keohan: you know, musicians and artists. And he's he's like he's interviewed, you know, the T. Shock and the President and all this kind of stuff, and then 56 00:10:05.670 --> 00:10:11.510 Breda Keohan: I got on that, and we talked for about an hour and a half, and literally. 57 00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:23.810 Breda Keohan: We talked into Sunday, the podcast up in the Wednesday, and on the Thursday, I think, II got into Kent 1,000 new followers in a in a day. on Instagram. And yes, just 58 00:10:24.270 --> 00:10:31.669 Breda Keohan: hundreds of messages, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of messages of support, and of yet there's one here, and I know of one here 59 00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:37.110 Breda Keohan: and all this kind of stuff. You know what I mean, and people finding them, people telling me where they are. 60 00:10:37.130 --> 00:10:53.950 Breda Keohan: people saying III forgotten about them. But listening to you made me remember like I'm I remember my granddad talking about them. I forgotten about it. But you oh, yeah, you, you jog your memory, and then you're going to these places and except their phones to people know where they are. You just go into the place and you're you're lifting them. And you get all these incredible stories. And 61 00:10:54.400 --> 00:11:09.589 Breda Keohan: for me, the stories about these things and the history is so much more important. But the actual lifting of them they'll be back last year was all about your lifting lifting this year. It's you've almost become a folklore gatherer, you know. You've you've gathered the folk coordination. 62 00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:18.729 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I mean, I love the intersection of I love the fact that it's the intersection of strength, sports, and strength culture, you know, fitness, culture, and 63 00:11:19.310 --> 00:11:33.340 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: the the heritage of of our people, of of of Ireland. Right like, and I'm not 100% Irish. But I you know I have a lot of Irish blood in me, and so like I have a lot of pride, and I have a lot of pride in that. In that heritage, and it's so cool to see something that was close to lost. 64 00:11:33.430 --> 00:11:47.949 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: be found and brought back to the and brought back to the brought back to the surface. And now, because this all predated the digital age, right? You've had to do so much of this manually. But now that bringing it back in a time when the Internet is a thing 65 00:11:47.950 --> 00:12:17.939 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: and like, you know, like, it will be part of the electronic record for forever. So we're never gonna have to go through this again, where where these pieces of historic culture are potentially lost. Because now there's there's there's websites where people are tracking like. Here's where the stones are. Right. So like now, now, it's now it's like, I don't know. It's transition to this phase where it's like, okay, we're never gonna have to worry about losing this part of the culture as far as the stones. Right? The stories I know. And I know you're still collecting the stories to like. The stories are also awesome, because that's such a huge part of the 66 00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:20.099 mythology. And and. 67 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:38.960 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: like the giant, the giants of Ireland, you know, like the you know things, you know, hearing hearing about these stones that were, you know, 400 kilos, and a man who was, you know, 18 feet tall. Who could throw it? These types of story? It's it's amazing. And I just it's so. It's so cool like it's so cool that you have. Like. 68 00:12:39.230 --> 00:13:05.250 Breda Keohan: you know you've you were the kindling that got this fire kind of restarted right like you, you know, like you, you were the spark that that hit the kindling. And now it's just kind of like spreading all over the place, and it's I don't know. It's just. It's just so cool to to see it, man, it really is. It's really incredible. And all it took like it just took the spark like exactly like you said it just took the spark because it was waiting to be refilled again. You know they're all there. It just took someone 69 00:13:05.530 --> 00:13:15.280 Breda Keohan: a bit kind of mad, you know, at 40'clock and drive up the country and look for these things. But once I find once I started 70 00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:27.380 Breda Keohan: there was only a very, very thin, thin layer over this, you know, and I just started pulling at the tread of it. And it's just it's back, I mean. And and I mean, it's really back. Now, you know. it's it's so cool. Like to see you guys 71 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:40.740 Breda Keohan: from the local, the localities, the parishes. And they're just they're they're making extortion to these zones now. And they're gonna have to lift them. And they're sending on videos. And they're tagging in their videoism. Everyone's like, Oh, that's so cool. I can't wait to do that. 72 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:52.989 Breda Keohan: and like we had a stone list and tour there. Last weekend I took a few people around the the the stones and monster. and we done 4 of the lifting stones and just the fucking buzz. I mean, there was. 73 00:13:53.300 --> 00:14:02.380 Breda Keohan: I just said, Look, I'm going to be out, and this day if anyone wants to join me at a can, and I've had torty guys in her coming along. All lifting together. The villagers came out to watches. 74 00:14:03.050 --> 00:14:31.289 Breda Keohan: and people were just dropping down like food and fucking. We had such a fucking great day, and it felt like a real renewal, you know, feel like a real renewal day. It was just awesome. 75 00:14:31.310 --> 00:14:45.020 Breda Keohan: But I mean on on top of all that like, I mean, like you're saying about the document and this stuff now, I mean, like, I'm writing the book. And I was telling the publishers there just last week guys working for the social agency in London. And they're all like weekly. So that we're trying to publish this book and 76 00:14:45.210 --> 00:15:00.510 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: documentary being made, you know, except TV appearances. Okay, just mad. Okay, so let's let's go one. Let's go one by one here, cause that's that. I mean, that's awesome congratulations. And II think you know to me one of the the lessons is 77 00:15:00.510 --> 00:15:08.170 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: One person who's passionate about something can can literally change the world right like like you have left a mark which is 78 00:15:08.170 --> 00:15:32.469 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: which is incredible. Right. But you've got all these, these cool opportunities that are coming your way because of your passion and your dedication, and like you didn't get into it for that reason, right? You didn't get into it to get famous or did like you just wanted to save this part of the culture. But now you're you know you're you're like, Oh, I'm you know I'm I'm oh, here's David Kean, and coming up next is Hugh Jackman, and you're like the fuck, you know, whatever like, you know, weird. 79 00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:34.499 Breda Keohan: you know, because I mean. 80 00:15:34.530 --> 00:15:45.559 Breda Keohan: if you always feel like you're like, you know, that's superhero fucking kind of thing where, like, you know, during the week, it's just an but on the weekend you could be talking anybody, you know, you could be talking to anybody. 81 00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:54.309 Breda Keohan: But yeah, it's like I said, it is mentally jarring. And I haven't. We talked about it a lot. It is. It's it's fucking weird. You know what I mean. 82 00:15:54.550 --> 00:16:18.620 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I don't. I'm still an obscure nobody stops me on the street and is like, Oh, hey, II have. I have rarely had a person be like, Oh, I've heard your podcast and even that's weird, like. And but that's like at Kettlebell, sport competitions and stuff, like, you know, like, Oh, I listen to your podcast. You know, like, Oh, that's cool. But I haven't had anybody stop me on the street and be like, oh, you're the guy with the the Kettlebell podcast you know, like that hasn't happened to me. So 83 00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:27.529 Breda Keohan: I can't imagine what that has. It happened to you with the misses like when you're out like you're just like out on a date or something, or out to the grocery store. 84 00:16:27.630 --> 00:16:36.999 Breda Keohan: It was just a lot of work, and you know people just coming over to you, you know, just because I went there like II wear a happen I'm doing lifting and my my calling card now, and 85 00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:43.649 Breda Keohan: I had to have on it. Department people are just coming over, you know, they're like, you're, you know, you're indie like, Yeah, that's me. 86 00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:58.150 Breda Keohan: yeah, yeah. And you know, just love what you're doing. And thanks so much. And people want to buy a drink. And you know, just want to shake your hand and take a photo. You know it's it's it's really humbling and and strange, because, like I said, I never get into 87 00:16:58.790 --> 00:17:09.650 Breda Keohan: so not me like. You know what I mean. I'm not into self-organization or anything like that. It's just not the kind of person I'm just naturally at home, but kind of a person, but it's it is really nice as well, though, to to see 88 00:17:10.010 --> 00:17:20.279 Breda Keohan: the culture come back like that and see that the respect it's gotten because at the start, like that people were like, what the hell is this going to do with you know what I mean? What do you mean? You're lifting a stone fuckin weird. 89 00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:22.409 Breda Keohan: you know. Now it's the 90 00:17:22.490 --> 00:17:49.070 Breda Keohan: well, and Britta couldn't be like well, it started with the my my piece of art like this. All started because I, my husband, decided he wanted to destroy my my artwork in the back or destroy. It's just 91 00:17:49.070 --> 00:18:17.310 Breda Keohan: really really cool to see is getting DM, and attention. And my main thing is to get this to get the book. Yeah. So so let's talk about that cause you've been on. You've you've gotten a ton of press. We talked a little bit about that. You've been on TV shows. You've got a documentary being made about your multiple documentary. Is it being made about you, or about 4 different documentaries are being made about stone lifting in Ireland, or is it about you pretty much a combination of both. And we made 4 documentaries. 92 00:18:17.410 --> 00:18:26.589 Breda Keohan: With 4 different teams. Again, after going on the big podcast 4, different documentary crews got onto me. And I just said, I'm just. I thought I'm just saying yes to everybody. 93 00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:48.560 Breda Keohan: because for me. So by just getting this out there. So it just said Yes, all of them, and we all went off, and they all had their own kind of different angles and takes they wanted to do. And someone wanted to focus on me, someone to focus on like mythology. Some wanted to focus on history and folklore, and was lovely doing like seeing everybody else's kind of artistic rendition of of what I'm doing, you know, because I'm an artist, and I went to our college. 94 00:18:48.750 --> 00:19:16.909 Breda Keohan: I love like. That's the different aspects of all along the watchtower. Everybody wants to cover it because everybody's got a different. Everybody's got a different take on it exactly. You know. It's like everyone has their own angle and slowly exploring those angles because it does take a lot of boxes between, like, you know, archaeologists and folklorists and people are into mythology, and people are into just purely into strength and maximum iron. We're doing a huge one of Scotland said. They're very interested in making one as well, and they're a huge crew, you know. Something just loads and loads of 95 00:19:16.910 --> 00:19:35.420 Breda Keohan: opportunity is going to be my way that way, but it was just every single one of them. I've made these little kind of short form fill up so 38 to 10 min long. but they're making the the chart form to then give that to like place about Netflix or Hulu, or one of these companies to say, Look, we wanna make a documentary series about this. 96 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.119 Breda Keohan: or we want to make a long form documentary, maybe an hour long, about this. 97 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:51.750 Breda Keohan: Give us some money, you know what I mean. Give us. Give us a grant, or give us give us some money for. So there's 4 or 5 of those guys are actually in the process that we made. There was one of them is only finished as an order, 3 being sitting in the editing process. 98 00:19:51.840 --> 00:20:05.049 Breda Keohan: But once they're dropped the column sizzle trailers, they'll drop them into some of the big companies and say, Look, I think this is a great story. Let's see, can we do it? So I'm hopin one of those will land and someone to say, look, here's 200 grand. Go off and make a fucking a documentary about stone lifting. 99 00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:09.400 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: So that's the hope in the next couple of months. And with the documentaries. 100 00:20:09.560 --> 00:20:15.350 Breda Keohan: even though short form documentaries are really cool because they're all different stones. Different stories go to the islands. and 101 00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:39.800 Breda Keohan: even those 8 to 10 min. Document is our lovely, our lovely watch. But I think there's so much in this. It needs to get a a a series. Maybe I was just gonna say I would. I would love to see. I would love to see like a on the Travel Channel, or or Netflix, or something right. The the David Keon lifted, lifting around the world type of tour right where you're just going and discovering old rites of passage and and rituals of strength like from different cultures. And 102 00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:55.900 Breda Keohan: like, obviously start with what you know. Start with stone lifting and all that, but it would be really cool if it like branched out into. You know, you're just going into any type of old right of passage that involve physical feats of strength or or whatever, because you're talking about right, like the, you know. 103 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:09.920 Breda Keohan: re revive, and stuff like that like that would be so. That's like, I mean, you always read my mind because that that would be. The the goal is like one of the team said, there'll be love to do with 2, like 2 series of the first series would be, and then a second will be 104 00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:23.789 Breda Keohan: traveling around the world, you know. So and because the likes of sean are part and joined steward in America, we're doing such fantastic research. And and you should find those guys up if you haven't, because they're wonderful. They have the great researchers so nifty world wide. 105 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:50.659 Breda Keohan: But I mean. There's still lifting Siberia all the way through the Kurdistan Kazakhstan to Russia, China, Japan, you know, on it's everywhere all these oldest form of physical training, right like what is what is what is more ancient and timeless than Krog pickup rock, right like has to go back like all the way to like caveman. I mean, it's in. It's in ancient Rome. It's an ancient Greece, I mean, just document to be talked about those before. It's 106 00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:55.260 Breda Keohan: it's absolutely everywhere, and it's still being practiced in a lot of these places, so like I'd love to go. 107 00:21:55.260 --> 00:22:01.039 Breda Keohan: You know. I'd love to see that. Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone just said, Look, get out of your Joe job. They turn for 20 years. 108 00:22:01.350 --> 00:22:05.400 Breda Keohan: Here's a ho! Here's a heap of money. Go off and do something you love and 109 00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:19.750 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: that'd be just amazing, I'm thinking, like somebody like Guinness, or something that's really tied into the history of Ireland. Part of Irish culture, like they could sponsor you right, like some somebody that's like like, because there's a benefit to to keeping and preserving that history. And 110 00:22:20.050 --> 00:22:28.100 Breda Keohan: of course, you know, and then it's it's it's it's not just about me. It's about the culture, you know. It's about the culture and the keeping of culture. 111 00:22:28.650 --> 00:22:33.230 Breda Keohan: And like, I said, that's very important. I mean but because of this 112 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:40.620 Breda Keohan: this awesome coverage I'm getting, I mean, I've I've got a fantastic. I can't wait. I'm gonna head, heading over to an island off the west coast of mail. 113 00:22:40.670 --> 00:23:00.110 Breda Keohan: hopefully in the summer time, and an island called Ardelon, ours called Hoy Island, and but our alon is that noir, but it's an old monastic island, so I mean it. It hasn't been inhabited for about 500 years, and there's only probably 5 people step onto the island here, and then they're usually archaeologists. 114 00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:05.369 Breda Keohan: So I've been invited over by the the owner of the island, a man called Faa Khan. 115 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:08.709 Breda Keohan: and 2, because there's a lifting stone here. 116 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:16.739 Breda Keohan: It's only a tiny little island. It's only about 2 square kilometres. But There was just a lifting stone there that was used by the monks 117 00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:35.829 Breda Keohan: to keep themselves strong, and I suppose they have to. Still, you know, they're amongst like they're still living on an island, so they had to like go out into the ocean and catch fish and work. You know, Bill, fuck and things with stone, so they have to keep themselves strong, you know, as well as being, and employees and stuff so. But he's like David waiting to see this place. He's like 118 00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:43.240 Breda Keohan: you're never going to see anything like this in the world. He says. Nowhere like this left. This is untouched. Nobody comes here. 119 00:23:43.350 --> 00:23:56.099 Breda Keohan: anybody on. It's only a couple of archaeologists left to go through me, we said, I'll take you in the post. There's no way. There's no fair deal. There's no ferry position islands, private charter. 120 00:23:56.220 --> 00:24:21.849 Breda Keohan: and he said, You're gonna see something pretty magic, and I'm like, I can't. I can't wait, you know, getting all these unbelievable opportunities, because no nobody goes there, you know, and this was like an like an ancient enchanted holy island for 121 00:24:22.010 --> 00:24:30.140 Breda Keohan: millennia, really, you know. So just to see it to get on to the islands to walk. We'll walk around barefoot and get a feel energy coming up at the ground and 122 00:24:30.340 --> 00:24:35.310 Breda Keohan: hopefully lift that stone over there as well, but I mean for to me that's almost secondary to get to that place itself 123 00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:48.359 Breda Keohan: on your plate as well. 124 00:24:48.420 --> 00:25:05.429 Breda Keohan: Yeah, I mean, I've I started, I think. About 3 weeks after our last conversation, I started just building and sketches and and writing basic stuff about not just travelling to an area, finding the stone, maybe one page, one sharp notebook page on each, on each stone 125 00:25:05.650 --> 00:25:08.900 Breda Keohan: GPS locations just kind of to keep it as a journal for myself. 126 00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:31.560 Breda Keohan: but from that it's evolves into the bringing back of the culture and what that means to me and to the Irish people, and the whole adventures around looking for the the stone and the story, and following folklore and getting to the places, meeting the people, hearing their stories, finding the stone, lifting the stone, how that feels. 127 00:25:31.840 --> 00:25:39.419 Breda Keohan: and it's just took on a whole life of someone, and I never thought I'd Roy Jordan. I never wrote a book of my life I mean my my artistic out. It was always music. 128 00:25:39.450 --> 00:25:47.970 Breda Keohan: Playing a music or singing and and painting, you know. That's my my, always my artistic. I never thought I'd ever write anything. But this 129 00:25:48.150 --> 00:25:55.499 Breda Keohan: is a story that needs to be told. You know, it's a story that people need to hear, because the store some of the stories are. 130 00:25:55.750 --> 00:26:10.060 Breda Keohan: They're incredible. I mean, they're absolutely amazing. You're you're you're tying in with Irish mythologies, old folklore's old Island men who are, you know, a different generation that would be gone in another 10 or 15 years. And you're hearing all of these old stories about the old ways. 131 00:26:10.130 --> 00:26:15.239 Breda Keohan: and it's a it's a II think, and I'm an upload. I think it'll be a historic piece, because 132 00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:27.869 Breda Keohan: the this is something that won't ever happen here again. You know. I mean, we won't ever have these people here again. Those stories would be gone, you know, and the people would be gone. But no, they won't be gone now because they'll be documented in this book. They'd be written about to be spoken about 133 00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:36.460 Breda Keohan: all their names. The stories are now part of it, and still be part of the culture forever through it. And to to me this is probably the most important thing I've I've done. 134 00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:42.680 Breda Keohan: Outside of you know family family like this is pretty fucking apart stuff, you know. It kind of people have even said to me. 135 00:26:43.070 --> 00:26:55.399 Breda Keohan: you know, famous people like, you know. I can't wait to to to read a book. I can't wait, I mean famous Irish actors and fucking musicians. And and you know, archaeologists and professors, literally, I can't wait till this comes out, because 136 00:26:55.910 --> 00:27:07.379 Breda Keohan: this is an important part of our culture, and it's amazing that people have fit. You know II love the fact that people have given it that much respect. Yeah, really, do you know? And people from all different strata, you know. Ha! Are 137 00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:17.320 Breda Keohan: fears interested in it simply. You have to give me a same copy, and you know II plug it for you then, and you know I'll write a blurb for you or something. And you're like, I watch you on TV. 138 00:27:17.780 --> 00:27:31.830 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: But it's not gonna help with that. But, man, I'm I can't. II understand, because, like even just hearing you talk about it. I'm I'm like, Oh, man, I can't. I can't wait to get my hands on it right like you know. I can't wait to see it like it's 139 00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:35.519 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I don't know. It's there's just something so cool about it. And 140 00:27:35.670 --> 00:27:57.299 Breda Keohan: I think it reson. I just think it deeply resonates with people because everybody want everybody wants their stories to be remembered right, and everybody wants their stories to be told and and like you're making that happen for people who I mean, even people who are long since dead, right like they're you're you're kind of like bringing them, bringing them back and making sure that their stories carry on, which is like 141 00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:09.499 Breda Keohan: I like. I was talking to an old man up in county County Galway, up in Connemara, a real West island, rough and stony land, and you know, hardy people, you know, reared from, you know, tough landscape. 142 00:28:09.890 --> 00:28:20.490 Breda Keohan: And these guys and these old men, and he's like, Yeah, This stone was lifted by my great grandfather just last month to lift this stone, and II keep it here, and I look after us, and 143 00:28:20.570 --> 00:28:38.449 Breda Keohan: I don't let the weeds go over, and if you know it's beside a wall, and it's if ever gets a bit overgrown, I chop back on the weeds because this is important part of our local folk or traditions. and he said, he's named the man who lifted it. You know what I mean before and like, he said, No, you're writing them down, and they'll never be forgotten. And so, like one dad like he died at 22, we said, but he lives in. He was 18. 144 00:28:38.540 --> 00:28:42.280 He did have a appendicitis. We know what that was, he said. It got it. 145 00:28:42.340 --> 00:28:47.880 Breda Keohan: So you're you're you're you're keeping these people's names and deeds alive through through 146 00:28:47.930 --> 00:28:53.890 Breda Keohan: documentation. So it's it's it's just wonderful, except it's gone from just being the simple act of lifting stone 147 00:28:54.080 --> 00:29:06.829 Breda Keohan: to to documenting a culture, a lost culture. So it's it's been quite the journey. Oh, yeah, I've lifted every every stone bar, too. So I've 46 phone. 148 00:29:08.170 --> 00:29:16.609 Breda Keohan: And I think the last time we were talking about 18. So I mean, it's it's doubled in in a year and 36 phone. No, I don't. There's only 2 that I couldn't live. 149 00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:23.580 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I'd be trading really hard to go back and lift those 2. How how big, how big were those? How big were those 2 which which 2 are they? 150 00:29:23.730 --> 00:29:25.760 Breda Keohan: The one on English torque is 151 00:29:25.790 --> 00:29:38.409 Breda Keohan: 207 kilos for Americans that's that's like 450 pounds. That's a like a 450 pound stone that is 152 00:29:38.590 --> 00:29:51.130 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: unbelievable to be able to like to to grip that and then pick it up off of the ground right like I if if you've never pulled 500 pounds or 400 pounds in a deadlift like I don't think people can understand. Like. 153 00:29:51.130 --> 00:30:09.290 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: you know, my, my deadlift at my at my best, was like around 600 pounds, but like the ability to be able to pull something that's that awkward and abnormally shaped and like, requires such a raw level of of strength and grip, strength and specific strength, too, for, like 4 stone lifting right like that. I can't. 154 00:30:09.290 --> 00:30:31.409 Breda Keohan: I can't even I can't even like I can't even fathom like I can in my brain. I can. I can imagine how heavy, but I can't. I can't imagine picking that up, but I mean, that's 203, and that came up pretty easily. It came up about a good 6 or 8 inches out the ground. 155 00:30:31.450 --> 00:30:38.219 Breda Keohan: and it came up with you. Well, and that's only get 4 kilos later going over at ninja, but I see I found it one inch torque, probably about 156 00:30:38.820 --> 00:30:45.189 Breda Keohan: maybe a year and a half ago, so I wasn't as strong as I know, so I mean, it was my mission, like we were going back to actually with a film crew about a month ago. 157 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:58.780 Breda Keohan: 2 way to short, specifically to go back and lift it, cause I've trained for it for 6 months, specifically, literally, just training to pick up really heavy shit just with that. That was with specific training for 6 months, specifically to lift that stone. 158 00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:12.979 Breda Keohan: And we got to focus. We got to the ferry. And actually it was the day before we were going over in the ferry, and we had a storm stormy shit, which was just. It was almost like a fucking hurricane. Couldn't get over to the place. But the documentary could crack, you know, couldn't get out. The ferry ferry wasn't running 159 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:18.070 Breda Keohan: so, and I would be back to what we'd be going back, because, like, I have a note, these are the only 2 that happen. This is 160 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.559 Breda Keohan: one is 207, and they're not gonna end up Bradley stones 220, which is 161 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:24.730 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: yeah, fucking. 162 00:31:25.170 --> 00:31:43.050 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: It's horrible under, but 163 00:31:43.070 --> 00:32:02.660 Breda Keohan: he's got a solid 20, 164 00:32:02.820 --> 00:32:25.939 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: because I'm uninitiated right? Like I've picked up some awkward shit, and you know I've picked up. But like the stuff that I used to pick up, that was the only thing close to stone lifting were Atlas stones, and those are uniform. They're round right like. So they're, you know, that strong men stuff right? But like, what are the factors that come into like that come into play. That that differentiate stone lifting from anything else, I would imagine. Obviously like the size of the stone, is one thing right, the shape of it. 165 00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:46.769 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: how evenly distributed it is! What are some of the other factors that come into it that make like cause? A stone? That's 200 kilos once 200 stone Kilo stone might be easier to lift than a different one. That's 200 kilos depending on other factors. What are those factors that might come granite, I mean. Now open 166 00:32:46.980 --> 00:33:14.139 Breda Keohan: open Tyrone, which is denser and granite again, you know. And the density of the makes them fucking hard to pick up. Then you have to texture the zone and the texture of it. If it's smooth. Yeah. That the granite ones are are actually easy enough to grip because of the texture, because the grainy, you know that, you know you got a good grip on the but then, again, a lot of them are rounded. 167 00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:28.219 Breda Keohan: Because, of course, glaciation and stuff. So I mean, they're actually tough, very tough to pick and then you have a course, to factor. So you know, huge factor, you know. So I mean, you're not inside a nice warm gym, but talk 168 00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:34.859 Breda Keohan: you're outside in the mud or on a beach or on stone, you know. And you're you're lifting in all conditions. 169 00:33:34.990 --> 00:33:35.880 Breda Keohan: I mean. 170 00:33:36.030 --> 00:33:49.949 Breda Keohan: you're going up to a place. You're not gonna not go because it's raining you made it. That's your plan is to go documentary group like I said. We organized it to to shoot this documentary on the weekends. 171 00:33:50.130 --> 00:34:06.230 Breda Keohan: and it was in the middle of storm, Asia, which was fucking horrendous, I mean, like really high winds, lash, and rain. You're not sideways, rain, absolutely everything. Everything. Everything was just saturated. So I was lifting the stone called the clock under it, which is the with the giants throwing stone up, and then I'll go or a mail. 172 00:34:06.360 --> 00:34:07.589 Breda Keohan: and I'm up there 173 00:34:07.970 --> 00:34:18.560 Breda Keohan: at that stone, and it's like it's the ground is just like a bog. It's just mud. It's just mud and water sideways. Rain. This stone is a hundred 80 kilos, and, like. 174 00:34:19.070 --> 00:34:46.069 Breda Keohan: you know. 175 00:34:46.250 --> 00:34:47.870 Breda Keohan: pulled the fucking thing off. 176 00:34:48.210 --> 00:35:01.350 Breda Keohan: Talk your hands, keep your hands in your pockets, give us rain, and and then just just going and lifted, and I got my best lift on that stone ever I've tried lifted 4 times and got my best lift in the worst possible conditions on the day. So like I said, th the doctor. 177 00:35:01.870 --> 00:35:03.759 Breda Keohan: the weather really really 178 00:35:04.170 --> 00:35:32.749 Breda Keohan: doesn't hip, you know, for for the lift under zones, you know, it's it's another factor and play. But it's just. It's because of all of that. It's it's just so much fun. And it's such a sense of achievement. When you do live one of these things, it's some feeling cause. I mean, it's not just like it's you versus like the bones at your versus the bones demand is just. It's you trying to lift the earth, but also because of the stories and culture like you you do. That is a pretty important factor. And you you feel that. I mean, there's a real ways. 179 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:39.069 Breda Keohan: especially some of the ones in graveyards. You know, you're pretty much aware. Yeah, yeah, I'm in a graveyard here. And 180 00:35:39.250 --> 00:35:50.290 Breda Keohan: if people used to lift these at funeral games, you know, and kind of moments to these things as well. Spiritual nature to it. When you're when you're doing something like that. 181 00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:52.190 Breda Keohan: I mean, I if I 182 00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:03.610 Breda Keohan: yeah, I mean definitely definitely for me. It is a very spiritual thing to it, I mean, I get very emotional, and I'm not an emotional person, and never was. You know I was always pretty stoic. But there's something about this that just 183 00:36:04.250 --> 00:36:11.180 Breda Keohan: it gets you deep inside, because it's like you're aware of the culture and what these people went through, you know, and 184 00:36:11.220 --> 00:36:15.789 Breda Keohan: all of the problems they had and other things they had to suffer through oppression. And and you know 185 00:36:16.020 --> 00:36:23.699 Breda Keohan: and that's all part of it. That's all part of what you're doing. And you're resurrecting these, this agent culture. So there's a there's a huge 186 00:36:24.080 --> 00:36:27.970 Breda Keohan: way to these things, big, obviously, physically. And and 187 00:36:28.060 --> 00:36:48.100 Breda Keohan: it makes me want to make sure I don't. I don't know if I'm I'm I don't know if I'm going to be able to. 188 00:36:48.210 --> 00:37:14.149 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: That leads me to this question. Specific question. If I want to get ready to come to Ireland and lift some stones with you, you mentioned specific training, right like, how do you specifically train for the art of stone lifting right like cause? This is a skill. How would how would you? How would you adapt a training program to to do stone lifting specifically well, I mean, especially on on this podcast because, primarily, the capability. 189 00:37:14.490 --> 00:37:16.700 Breda Keohan: It took a big shift in training. But 190 00:37:16.990 --> 00:37:21.929 Breda Keohan: What I be doing is is literally just grab like I have a stone at the back which is flat. 191 00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:23.950 Breda Keohan: and I've been training 192 00:37:24.410 --> 00:37:40.349 Breda Keohan: to lift that from the ground. Quite comfortably. So I guess 90 kilos. That's just a warm up wait to me now, but I mean 90 kilos, just to just to break the ground with it and get it about maybe 6 or 8 ages off the ground. Be very, very aware of using your legs and your hips as opposed to just using her back, so 193 00:37:40.550 --> 00:37:44.030 Breda Keohan: getting yourself into a position which is comfortable, which is safe. 194 00:37:44.330 --> 00:37:57.499 Breda Keohan: and thinking about it like in a deadlift terms which are, it's like it's a very, very deficit deadlift, because you're you're you're down so much shorter, you know. Grass level deadlift. It's almost like a deficit, simo deadlift, you know. 195 00:37:57.540 --> 00:38:11.129 Breda Keohan: So to think of it in terms of that, and to use your links and hips. So I've then been literally using my kettlebells as added weights. So what I do is I get to get like a lin, a linear standard standard linear data program, something pretty basic 196 00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:31.400 Breda Keohan: and work out your Max. Watch. Your Max is by adding capabilities like I said, I have 2820 s. 20 fours of 26 is 48 42. So just until you get you hit your Max what you can do, and then like to PIN your program from that. So building my program and just to be able to, for this specific specific Irish stones cause a lot of my are to just to break the ground or to get the window. 197 00:38:31.510 --> 00:38:42.670 Breda Keohan: So I was literally training just to do that. So I'm just training to pick these phones heavy, heavy weights off the ground, so gone from lifting to 90 Kilo, not feeling heavy to now out the back, lifting 190 kilo. 198 00:38:42.790 --> 00:38:50.160 Breda Keohan: and are feeling pretty doable, you know, and bringing that up. Then trying to get that to operate the 200 210 199 00:38:50.340 --> 00:38:59.929 Breda Keohan: and just using a linear deadlift program one day a week. Get rain? Asked stones, because it just takes so much area like you're doing like Max's effort work. 200 00:39:00.120 --> 00:39:17.820 Breda Keohan: or just just on the. So Max. And so once a week from using off on 45 this year, so I do take a little bit more time to recover but 1 one a week with stone lifting heavy. Then I'll do a Kettlebell day like a a kind of good Cardio day on Wednesday, and I'll have A lighter 201 00:39:18.010 --> 00:39:23.839 Breda Keohan: stone program are going to the beach, and if natural stones on a weekend. So but 3 days a week. 202 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:29.570 Breda Keohan: but 1 one specifically tailored for the type of if today or stone, if there is, which is just the break the ground with it. 203 00:39:29.580 --> 00:39:48.250 Breda Keohan: So 204 00:39:48.250 --> 00:40:08.319 Breda Keohan: you have to. Your joints have to work correctly. You have to have to be able to get you to that end range emotion, and then your muscles have to be strong enough to express their strength in that end. Range emotion right ass on the ground with a fucking, I mean I was over, and is more with a 171 kilo block of granite on my fucking chest. 205 00:40:08.610 --> 00:40:14.419 Breda Keohan: with my ass sitting on the grass, and then you have to be strong enough to focus. Stand up over that. You know what I mean from that 206 00:40:14.780 --> 00:40:15.940 Breda Keohan: huge 207 00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:27.170 Breda Keohan: just like hiking boots. Or you weren't like. Do you have special shoes on when you're when you're 208 00:40:27.260 --> 00:40:44.959 Breda Keohan: I go? I can boots and just lift in charts. I don't wear a belt. And you're not a fancy dude. You're just like fuck it. I'm just gonna throw. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna not up and lift this fucking thing here to the happening review my fuckin has. 209 00:40:45.730 --> 00:41:10.209 Breda Keohan: That seems I mean. But what is important is where it is, and you do need them sometimes is a terrible and chalk. So our tail and talk. Rm, because of the rain. Sometimes you do need to bring it most of times I won't need to, but just in case. But other than that, it's just rock up what you got and cause, I mean, I'm thinking, all these all guys used to do this 150 years ago. You know nothing about nutrition. They know nothing about periodic, you know nothing about token. 210 00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:15.169 Breda Keohan: Here are what to wear or what not the marriages wrapped up and don't like, if they can do it. Waking, do it. 211 00:41:15.540 --> 00:41:26.639 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: love it. I love it so in, in your, in your times, on all these different shows and stuff. Has there been any anybody that made you like starstruck, like holy fucking shit I'm meeting 212 00:41:26.770 --> 00:41:30.100 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: so and so like, has has anybody like really made you starstruck? 213 00:41:30.540 --> 00:41:33.769 Breda Keohan: Well, the boy were like, I mean, Tommy Jonathan, the the comedian. 214 00:41:34.130 --> 00:41:42.520 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Irish. He's he's the Irish Conan O'brien. Yeah. So I mean, I've been watching him in soft since the nineties I mean he was in the file. He was in 5 or 10 215 00:41:42.650 --> 00:41:48.970 Breda Keohan: that he was in like, you know the the dairy girls, which I'm a big fan of as well, you know, but I mean I've been watching his stand up for years. 216 00:41:49.270 --> 00:41:50.240 Breda Keohan: and 217 00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:59.130 Breda Keohan: you know, like just crazy, you know, he's a national treasure. He's a colleague, and then you get a voice under a show and like I'm I'm sitting there talking to him like I'm talking to you and like 218 00:42:19.380 --> 00:42:34.400 Breda Keohan: I was. You know, I was in in a normal job yesterday, just you know, and I'll be back in my normal job tomorrow. But you know, do you? It's really fuckin weird and blind by as well, cause I mean, I I've been on blind by for years. His podcast is the biggest podcast pretty much in our in our Europe. Almost, it's massive 219 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:40.350 Breda Keohan: and getting on his podcast was again, like, you know, it's it's narrowing his head, cause, you know, like there's gonna be at least 5 million people, isn't it is. 220 00:42:40.550 --> 00:42:59.450 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Joe Rogan would 221 00:42:59.620 --> 00:43:24.269 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: think would be really fucking cool, right really heavy stone the day before. And then you go. Do your recovery ridiculous! And it was like. 222 00:43:24.600 --> 00:43:35.310 Breda Keohan: I can actually fucking see something like that happening. Because where does this stop? I mean, I've hit. People are saying like, you would need to look at manager or something, because I mean, like this. 223 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:50.950 Breda Keohan: They're they're bringing out a beer in my name. In 2 weeks time I got a company making the focus I know so much going on. But this company called the White High brewery of this Lego, like, we're always like, we're big into our mythology, and 224 00:43:50.990 --> 00:44:14.210 Breda Keohan: we know what you're doing so. How about we make a couple of beers around the lifting stones? And you know, Indiana stone stout, or what like what is going to call us like we need to have something set with a really cool name, so they can be named after one of the stones, and we get a split idea. So we said we name it after maybe the Milan cause. That's the one that needs more a film force, anyway, and it's easy pronounce that's fucking great cause we export half hours over to, you know the Netherlands into France. 225 00:44:14.430 --> 00:44:21.039 Breda Keohan: so something that people pronounce, you know, in a different language. But that sounds great cause, so we don't mute easy to pronounce. 226 00:44:21.070 --> 00:44:29.210 Breda Keohan: and so, like we have a piece on you. We're looking at the label and piece on me. But to say, the QR. Porting scan gets it through to my Instagram and stuff. And 227 00:44:29.600 --> 00:44:54.049 Breda Keohan: I'm like I have my own beard because we're talking about reviving the chat and games, bringing back the ancient Irish 228 00:44:54.490 --> 00:44:56.420 Breda Keohan: warrior games, and 229 00:44:56.620 --> 00:45:21.569 Breda Keohan: you start talking about running. 230 00:45:21.570 --> 00:45:32.830 Breda Keohan: It'd be hard to get back to. But I'll do what I'll do for this, but I mean I just think it's and I put it out there. I woke up with this idea the other day. I just woke up for sakes, somethin planted in my head when I was asleep. 231 00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:35.760 Breda Keohan: and I woke up at at 6 Am. And 232 00:45:35.800 --> 00:46:00.630 Breda Keohan: says, I think this is a great idea. Let's do the Phoena Troy games. Yeah, the Phoenix games I was II saw that I immediately got stuck on it. I love. I love the idea man. that'd be class. So then I put that out online and then had people within 3 HI had people who want to offer me sponsorship money wanted to offer, give you tales of grid for a prize money. Another guy. I play music at the event for you for free. Another guy. Advertise it for you, for free. I'll make up all the posters and stuff for free 233 00:46:00.630 --> 00:46:20.669 Breda Keohan: can happen as much to revive something like that 234 00:46:20.850 --> 00:46:33.089 Breda Keohan: management company, and they were like we manage one of the top acts in Ireland. I won't name them, but they're they're they're the management team for the underlying. 235 00:46:33.140 --> 00:46:45.479 Breda Keohan: We think that's a fucking, fantastic idea. We run festival based around Brian Bruce. So Brainboy will be the ancient Irish hurricane, and we we do a festival every year. and we think we could. Would 236 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:54.330 Breda Keohan: would you want to run it? I may be at our festival and try it out? See if you think and won the event at the festival, and said, We have everything we have to place. We have the land, we have the insurance. 237 00:46:54.420 --> 00:47:03.869 Breda Keohan: I'm like, that sounds like a fucking great idea. So I'm talking to them on Tuesday and then. So I think I think this is actually going to happen now 238 00:47:03.950 --> 00:47:13.379 Breda Keohan: that's and then I said, if if it takes off and it's from the sound of it like this, there's guys wanting to bring teams from Scotland all over Ireland. 239 00:47:13.460 --> 00:47:22.039 Breda Keohan: if it takes off with it, believe it will and like. Then you could market it and take it to America, or you could take it to fucking wherever let's do the feeding games here. Let's do the feeding games there, you know. 240 00:47:22.050 --> 00:47:29.810 Breda Keohan: there's probably as many I like. There's probably as many Irish Americans as there are, you know. Irish. 241 00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:37.110 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I would say more so exactly. And this would be a way of getting in contact with, you know. So I mean. 242 00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:43.650 Breda Keohan: it's like, you know, calling it after the fina, because they'd be like the Phoena Troy's were based around agility, dexterity. 243 00:47:43.710 --> 00:47:47.049 Breda Keohan: athletic ability, and strength. So I mean, II think the 3, 244 00:47:47.080 --> 00:48:10.210 Breda Keohan: the 3 things I was talking about is cool with the running, and you know the, the, the long poke with the the holy ball, and then the stone lifted, and also the fact that I mean just not ahead of a lot of fucking gear involved with that or equipment run, you know. We we supply the horrors. Just just hit the fucking ball, got a couple of beds up a hill, and then a couple of stones. You can lift up into a barrel. You know it ain't that fucking hard to set up. 245 00:48:10.210 --> 00:48:27.210 Breda Keohan: but I think it's it's not about the actual physicality of it is with the getting contact with the past in the culture which will come on back to again and again, and that there's a hunger for that here now, because I could feel a real upsetting here like there's there's a real hunger for culture here now in the past 5 years. 246 00:48:27.410 --> 00:48:31.620 Breda Keohan: Well, I think I think, because and I'll be talking about this to a couple of people 247 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:46.989 Breda Keohan: like we are only a republic like we're only our own independent nation for a hundred years. That ain't a long, fucking time, you know. We're only the Republic of Ireland a hundred years, and in that 100 years, like we've had a Civil war. We had to fight for independence with 2 world wars, mass immigration. 248 00:48:47.260 --> 00:48:50.289 Breda Keohan: huge. smothering blanket of Catholicism. 249 00:48:50.300 --> 00:48:57.810 Breda Keohan: and were climbing out from underneath these 2 blankets of Imperialism and Catholicism over the past 5 to 10 years. 250 00:48:58.120 --> 00:49:02.730 Breda Keohan: and were kind of blinking in the light of freedom, saying, Who are we? What does it mean to be an Irish person. Now 251 00:49:03.010 --> 00:49:14.600 Breda Keohan: we define ourselves through the struggle against the British for so long, for probably 800 years like that. That that was our different, I mean, when I was growing up. I remember the troubles of Norton, I remember. 252 00:49:14.770 --> 00:49:23.349 Breda Keohan: like the Ru. C. And you know DM, dra and the knee cappings, and the punishment beatings and the shootings and the killings and the bombings. I remember all that was our partner we leave, so I mean 253 00:49:23.950 --> 00:49:28.569 Breda Keohan: the the rebel songs and all our songs in our culture was pretty much also the fight against Britain. 254 00:49:28.580 --> 00:49:36.509 Breda Keohan: That's not there any more that's gone. I mean. People under the age of 30 will have never had that in their life. For the first time in probably 800 years. 255 00:49:37.100 --> 00:49:42.469 Breda Keohan: There isn't an active fight going on against England and us. So it's like. 256 00:49:42.690 --> 00:49:52.589 Breda Keohan: now, what does it mean to be in our who am I? And the best way to find out, who am I? Is? Who are we? And I think people a lot more people now are starting to look back the way 257 00:49:52.760 --> 00:50:01.300 Breda Keohan: and say, Yeah, that's who we were before all this happened. That's why I think this is took off 258 00:50:01.460 --> 00:50:15.850 Breda Keohan: just at this time, because maybe 10 years ago, who was doing this? No one would have given a shit. But I think because of that that oops. You know that Ops, where love for the culture and love for the lower and the language is coming back. The language is almost table. It's coming back. I'm learning the language, you atomic form as well, and 259 00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:23.909 Breda Keohan: it's just a little flower the older ways, and to be leading help and lead the charge in that is is just a real honor, you know. 260 00:50:24.070 --> 00:50:52.600 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Yeah, do do you think there's a cause. II personally think there's a deeper thread to it. I think it's a human. I think it's a human thing like there's definitely a very specific Irish part of it, like you said, because of the culture of Ireland, but I also think, coming out of the pandemic. I think there is a a deeper because of all of the isolation we felt for for those 2 2 and a half years. I think there's now a deeper appetite across all cultures for connection to other humans, but also connection to our past. 261 00:50:52.630 --> 00:51:12.740 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: And like, where did we come from? I think I think it's just a I think there's a huge, just a deep human need to want to understand. Where did I come from? Why am I here? How doesn't does any of this matter? How do I leave an echo, like all of those, all those deeply human instincts? 262 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:25.580 Breda Keohan: Good point, I mean. I think Kyakova probably had a lot to do with it. I mean, I know I'm I'm obviously a bit blinker because of this whole folk or buzz. I'm on over here at the moment. I'm blinkin. We're just paid the whole Irish aspect of it. But I think you're right, because I think that's it's sound like become 263 00:51:25.870 --> 00:51:38.439 Breda Keohan: more more apparent, like, you know that we're connected, you know, through media. But like, that's not real connection. I think people are are hungry for a week connection. You know. They're hungry for physical connection, you know, and connection to your to your ancient past. And 264 00:51:38.660 --> 00:51:55.169 Breda Keohan: that's just fantastic. I don't know. II love that because it it had gone too much the other way, you know, and there's a lot of depression. And like I said, especially cold, was so difficult. And everybody that, like we're not. We're not meant to be isolated. We're not that kind of animal, you know. We're so yeah big time, you know. And and 265 00:51:55.180 --> 00:52:00.759 Breda Keohan: I think the fact that that that connection is coming back is is a wonderful, wonderful thing, you know, and I hope this kind of 266 00:52:00.810 --> 00:52:09.050 Breda Keohan: cause it's Miss mad, like, you know people are saying like, I'm looking for stuff now in my own country, and get people, you know, delighted in in France and the Northern France and Britain 267 00:52:09.140 --> 00:52:13.690 Breda Keohan: people in in Belgium. And and you know they're like, I'm looking for the culture here now, because what you're doing 268 00:52:14.030 --> 00:52:22.770 Breda Keohan: that's really cool to hear that you know what I mean, that people are are acting, looking in their own land for for connection, and for for getting back to these old ways, which is class. 269 00:52:23.220 --> 00:52:24.550 Yeah. And it's 270 00:52:24.650 --> 00:52:49.649 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: for me as a for me, as a father. I think it's one thing I've I've been trying to explain to my kids like where they come from, because my daughter asked me the other day, like, you know, well, what am I? You know, because we were talking about, you know different heritages and things like that, and she's like, Well, what am I? And I was like, well, like, well, I'm I was like, well, your father is a bit of a euro mut, because I'm you know I'm I'm Irish, which means there's also some Welsh and English kind of injected there against our will, and there is also. 271 00:52:49.650 --> 00:53:14.270 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: you know, there's, you know, and then there's Jur, and then I have my Germanic roots right, and then your your mother is Norwegian and and Swedish and German. And so she's like this amalgamation of things right? But like there's and I think that's becoming more and more prevalent. But we also kind of want to understand, like, what are all of the what does it mean to be Irish? What does it mean to be Norwegian? Was it mean to be like, right like? Or what did that mean? Even if we're now like an amalgamation of all these different things? But like you, wanna understand 272 00:53:14.580 --> 00:53:24.430 Breda Keohan: what those cultures meant, because all of those pieces contribute a part of who we are. And it's just such a cool thing to see like we want to. 273 00:53:24.780 --> 00:53:28.420 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: We wanna capture that history and know and and know. 274 00:53:28.460 --> 00:53:36.970 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: How does that all come together for us, so that we can better understand ourselves and better relate to other people. And you know, like commonality. 275 00:53:37.220 --> 00:53:46.949 Breda Keohan: Exactly. And I mean, what 11 about this is like, you're not reading about it. And you're not talking about it. You're out. And you're actually picking up history. You know, you're getting in contact physically with history. 276 00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:50.919 Breda Keohan: which is wonderful as well, because that doesn't happen, you know. 277 00:53:51.080 --> 00:53:54.289 Breda Keohan: you're picking up something that was picked up, for 278 00:53:54.730 --> 00:53:57.970 Breda Keohan: possibly, if some of these stones are found are pre-christian. So 279 00:53:58.250 --> 00:54:09.389 Breda Keohan: before the year 700. These stones were being used as either conduits to ancient deities or or as lifting stones for that long. You know me. I found one up in Derry that was achieved as carnation stone, that 280 00:54:09.620 --> 00:54:18.770 Breda Keohan: you know the ancient high chieftains of the area used to go up and have to lay hands on that stone to announce their right to rule, you know. Open it. These are sent to hilltops and was like. 281 00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:31.860 Breda Keohan: you're going way back way way back with this kind of stuff, and that stone has been used for that purpose for thousands of years. It was also lifting someone whether it was lifting someone in, in, you know, in correlation with that I'm not sure. 282 00:54:31.970 --> 00:54:43.780 Breda Keohan: It was. 283 00:54:44.060 --> 00:54:56.149 Breda Keohan: Just go into this area and did. The name of the area was in connection with. So I mean, film is a mental phone that's going from a mountain top 284 00:54:56.550 --> 00:55:01.100 Breda Keohan: the ancient high chieftains. And because his fiancee tortured the magical stones of the U.S.A. Thick 285 00:55:01.550 --> 00:55:08.990 Breda Keohan: coronated at the stone, and it was, and it was a a greyfield strength to pick it up to get in contact with these things like you're getting in contact with mythology. 286 00:55:09.070 --> 00:55:12.740 Breda Keohan: folk or culture history. And 287 00:55:13.020 --> 00:55:16.580 Breda Keohan: it's just a most fucking, incredible feeling. You know what I mean. You're like. 288 00:55:16.620 --> 00:55:17.940 Breda Keohan: So we'll call to that. 289 00:55:18.100 --> 00:55:27.760 Breda Keohan: You know one of the great. You know what I mean. One of the greatest men in in Irish mythology. You know he touched that now I am, and there's a power to those things. 290 00:55:27.820 --> 00:55:34.990 Breda Keohan: I remember trying to pick it up. I remember seeing it and looking at her going. I can't pick that up is too big to force my sorrows in no way. No man alive can pick this up. 291 00:55:35.430 --> 00:55:42.029 Breda Keohan: It's about the height of me. And it's about 2 foot. Believe it. foot and a half. 292 00:55:42.180 --> 00:55:44.609 Breda Keohan: It's just a pillar. 293 00:55:45.700 --> 00:55:50.440 Breda Keohan: I tried 3 times, documented career with me again, didn't happen. went off. 294 00:55:51.680 --> 00:55:55.269 gathered myself, felt something come through me. I was thinking about 295 00:55:55.430 --> 00:55:57.460 Breda Keohan: mythology and and and 296 00:55:57.540 --> 00:56:03.920 Breda Keohan: all that kind of stuff, and a foot of power come through me, went, picked that stone up about 3 inches off the ground. 297 00:56:04.330 --> 00:56:11.520 Breda Keohan: got myself come back, left that to stone them. Couldn't believe I lived at it, speeding to people the documentary team couldn't believe. That's 298 00:56:12.530 --> 00:56:14.030 Breda Keohan: almost superhuman 299 00:56:14.150 --> 00:56:32.360 Breda Keohan: effort, you know, but I wouldn't say what happened was for 3 days after my central nervous system shut down, and I was just gonna ask, What's what's the cost of of lifting? That was like literally slept for about 18 h or 24 for 3 days in a row. Wow! Really sick. It's like 300 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:35.790 Breda Keohan: I wasn't physically meant to do it. 301 00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:43.860 Breda Keohan: but something came through me to help me do it. And it did. It happened, it came up. and 302 00:56:44.140 --> 00:56:46.879 Breda Keohan: it'll be forever documented, you know that you did it. 303 00:56:46.990 --> 00:56:48.090 Breda Keohan: but I mean it's like 304 00:56:48.600 --> 00:56:54.500 Breda Keohan: your your body wasn't meant. No, is that meant to lift that kind of weight. I mean, it's I put it up around 300 kilos easy. 305 00:56:54.560 --> 00:56:56.740 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: you know. Wow! Dude 306 00:56:56.790 --> 00:57:11.249 Breda Keohan: magic around lately. 307 00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:23.920 Breda Keohan: And just all these cool stories and happen stances and chance meetings and looking counters that just don't happen. They shouldn't happen. You can't just be walking down a village and meet the one person to old village who managed to know where something is. You know 308 00:57:23.940 --> 00:57:34.719 Breda Keohan: you go to a place you find it. You meet that one man who knows about you know you're you're hearing stories up to the grapevine. Are you listening? Or fell over one of them in a feed. You know what I mean. 309 00:57:44.890 --> 00:58:08.069 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I have. I have to note for for people that are only gonna listen to the podcast. That I said, I said, Slanta, and you had a you had an empty glass, and because you're Irish, you were like, Oh, I have to refill my glass on an empty glass, and you can't. Oh, no! Oh, no! I have to drink another little bit of red breast. 310 00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:24.310 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: Just just keep. I got 2 more questions for you. 311 00:58:24.820 --> 00:58:44.160 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: There's such a huge variance in what your demands on your body have been between Kettlebell sport to now lifting stones that are 200 plus kilos. How has your body had to adapt? How have you had to change your body? To to these new demands of of stone lifting? 312 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:49.559 Breda Keohan: Yeah, I put on. I'd say 20 kilos. I'm almost 50 pounds weighs 313 00:58:49.660 --> 00:59:04.009 Breda Keohan: since my campus 4 days you were lean and mean when you're when you're 314 00:59:04.730 --> 00:59:30.830 Breda Keohan: eating a lot more cause remembering talking to Shawn when he was over, like we went on a stone tour last year, and he was like, you just gotta eat man, just, you know, I mean, so I was like, how do I get stronger? Eat more lift heavier. So I mean, II put on a lot of ways, and which is weird because I spend so much of my time losing all this excess. No, no, I'm literally just trying to get me so, but it's had a lot more fun doing that. 315 00:59:30.830 --> 00:59:42.750 Breda Keohan: What do I like? I'm using? Say, like I'd have a big breakfast snacks, and I love a dinner at lunchtime, and then I'd have a dinner in the evening time. So just eating a little bit more. And but I'm I'm I'm training 316 00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:47.500 Breda Keohan: smart, you know what like. I'm not training 4 or 5 days a week like they don't care about sports. 317 00:59:47.650 --> 01:00:11.039 Breda Keohan: I'm training 3 days a week, sometimes even 2 days a week. Well, very, very different demands. Right? Because with kettle sport it's all it's all about conditioning. And can the the aerobics, the aerobic and energies anaerobic energy systems require 5 to 6 exposures a week. You're bouncing your biceps and distracted me like. That requires 5 to 6 conditioning sessions a week to to get the stimulus needed to improve conditioning 318 01:00:11.040 --> 01:00:35.739 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: strength, especially maximal output. Strength is a very different thing, because, like as you talked about the cost of that on your Cns is that it needs time to shut down and regenerate, which like, if you're doing full on maximal like, and you're talking maximal to a level that most people have never even fucking tried. If you're doing maximal effort on on output. Your Cns needs a solid 2, 3, 4 days to reach 319 01:00:35.740 --> 01:00:52.080 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: generate before it could even think about doing that again. So the the training frequency is so much lower, because the intensity is so much higher. It is like the complete opposite ends of the spectrum as far as what you're training. 320 01:00:52.160 --> 01:01:13.620 Breda Keohan: But it's just been so interesting to see how the body relax, you know, reacts to simulants. It's just been such a fucking, cool journey physically as well, you know. To say that you know you go from being pretty high level endurance athletes to, you know, lifting one fucking, massive thing once, you know, it's been a weird journey, but it's been great to, and see that you can get stronger in your forties, in your mid forties. 321 01:01:13.710 --> 01:01:26.150 Breda Keohan: I'm stronger, and I was my whole life, and I'm getting stronger. I mean, cause I can live stones this year that I couldn't live last year, and I mean I went over to the Limo Flardy Stone last year, and II couldn't break it off the ground, and this year I could pick it up to my lap. Stand up on it. 322 01:01:26.600 --> 01:01:40.649 Breda Keohan: and you're like you can get stronger in your fucking mid forties. This is so cool and I and it's it kind of goes against the grain where a lot of people talk about people like, Oh, no, everything's on the slide. Of course there's a slide. You know what I mean, but you can arrest that slide, and if you've never like trained 323 01:01:40.770 --> 01:01:53.519 Breda Keohan: heavy before you can. You can catch fucking pretty strong, and as long as you look after yourself you train correctly. You look after your mobility. I'll put myself forward as that you can get fucking stronger and a lot stronger in your forties, you know. 324 01:01:54.090 --> 01:02:02.999 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: because I demand the people online is like, Oh, I'm in my twenties and up there with, you know, pain in my back and a pain in my knees. And all these memes I'm like. Fix your shit 325 01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:15.950 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: exactly. Have you ever trained. You know what I mean. Have you ever worked for your mobility? If you haven't shut the that's the thing people don't want to do the things like I I'm and I'm guilty of this myself, like I don't. Don't put me up on my high horse here, but, like 326 01:02:15.950 --> 01:02:45.630 you know, like people complain about this like, Oh, well, this is all falling apart, is like, yeah. Have you ever worked on your mobility intentional like? Have you ever had the discipline to stretch every day for 30 min, because you'd be amazed how much better you would feel if you stretch for 30 min every day, or it's like. Oh, you don't! You don't like that. You're getting weaker, maybe maybe strength train 3 times a week right like, oh, you don't you like you don't like that. You get out of breath, you know, chasing your kids around. Maybe try going for a a walk every day, or try going for a jog every day and see how much better you feel. Right? 327 01:02:45.990 --> 01:02:50.100 Breda Keohan: Exactly. I mean, there's there's always a way around it, you know. There's always a way to fix it. 328 01:02:50.210 --> 01:03:01.340 Breda Keohan: And it's it. Make movements medicine if you do it correctly, and it's like, just go and deal with and stop giving those about all pain. And this, and a pain that just fucking. Figure it out, man, and just go fix yourself, you know. 329 01:03:01.340 --> 01:03:26.010 Breda Keohan: Take a spoon of concrete and harden up. I love that I'm totally still of that turn of phrase. II, fucking, love it so much that eat a spoon of concrete and harden the fuck up. I love that I love it so much. Yeah, for sure. Alright. Last question, because because II promise we would end on time, which is, it's always a bad promise that I can't ever that I can't ever keep. So 330 01:03:26.010 --> 01:03:46.329 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: this is, gonna be a softball so you won't need any time to think about it. What's been from this past year your favorite moment of this past year of stone lifting and exploring and meeting people like pick one. I'm I'm putting you on the spot. You got. You got to pick one. And I didn't. I didn't preempt you with this question. So I'm gonna give you a little time to think about it. 331 01:03:46.330 --> 01:03:53.340 Breda Keohan: I think the best, the best thing that I've done, and I've it's the start and the end of my book was 332 01:03:53.600 --> 01:03:59.969 Breda Keohan: finding of the very first stone the Limo Flattery stone which we've spoken about in our last was this year 333 01:04:00.210 --> 01:04:03.250 Breda Keohan: gone. I got invited back by the Limo Flaherty Society 334 01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:05.309 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: so neat. 335 01:04:05.510 --> 01:04:09.839 Breda Keohan: Wh. So I got invited by the Lima Faraday Society to lift that stone 336 01:04:10.560 --> 01:04:19.720 Breda Keohan: in front of the society members and the Islanders. So that was a really emotional moment. So II went back to the island with my my wife came, and my dad came with me. 337 01:04:20.090 --> 01:04:28.680 Breda Keohan: and it was the most beautiful day, and we went back to the the island, met all the society members, including some of Nemo Flarey's you know, great grandkids. 338 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:40.229 Breda Keohan: We went down to the stone. There must been about 60 people came. All the interests came. and by a 2 documentary crew has come with me. and national TV came with me. 339 01:04:40.780 --> 01:04:48.019 Breda Keohan: and there was a young lad in the island read the story of the stone about the stone itself. and I picked that stone up 340 01:04:48.060 --> 01:04:52.790 Breda Keohan: to manise when I like. I'm my very first time been able to lift that stone at all. 341 01:04:53.070 --> 01:04:55.830 Breda Keohan: And it was this whole full circle moment from 342 01:04:55.850 --> 01:05:11.469 Breda Keohan: the very first finding of the very first Irish stone, and knowing that the culture was there to then coming back. and that was just me by myself, and none gave a ship but to come back invited by the Lima Flowery Society, were on the island, and to me Mo. Flaherty's 343 01:05:12.020 --> 01:05:21.060 Breda Keohan: relations, and to have national TV and documentary crews with me, and my my wife would be my dad would be, and to lift that stone and hear.org, me owners would pick when I picked it up. 344 01:05:21.180 --> 01:05:31.000 Breda Keohan: I don't think I can ever top that. It was just this amazing cultural moment and a whole full circle moment. For me. It was amazing. 345 01:05:31.110 --> 01:05:33.010 Breda Keohan: I don't think I'll ever top it up. It's incredible. 346 01:05:33.150 --> 01:05:36.169 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: love it! That's amazing, dude! Well. 347 01:05:36.550 --> 01:05:37.310 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I 348 01:05:37.380 --> 01:05:53.180 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: I can't tell you how much I appreciate you carbon out the time for me. Ii love. I love these chats it week. I always. I always feel bad because we could talk for 2, 3, 7 h right? And I always II always feel like we're cutting short. But 349 01:05:53.180 --> 01:06:18.070 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: II just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it. And as as a child of Ireland, you know, living in America, I can't tell you how much it means to me that that you're trying to revive the culture and keep it alive. And it is something that that II do plan on bringing my kids over there and and being able to to piggyback on the work that you've done to show them kind of where they come from, and you know to be a part of it myself, and to come over and lift some stones with you. 350 01:06:18.070 --> 01:06:28.379 Twin Cities Kettlebell Club: and and do all that I know I keep threat.
