Ronaldo, Corrie and Anna Kournikova: JOE spins the Tombola of Truth with geography king Liam Rushe

"Go easy on the gin in the gym!"

Conor Heneghan

“I had a poster of her on my wall. You know the one when she’s scratching her arse? That one.”

Next up on the JOE Tombola of Truth is Dublin hurler Liam Rushe.

The JOE team has come up with 50 questions which are conveniently numbered 1-50. Impressive, we know.

These are random questions about life, sport, music, movies, craic and the rest of it. Anything goes.

We give the interviewee various different attempts at spinning the JOE Tombola of Truth and, depending on which number is pulled out, we ask the corresponding question.

Let the spin begin.

JOE: When was the last time you cried?

Liam: I don’t know. Jesus, when was the last time I cried? I’m not much of a crier to be honest. Actually, I cried at my Grandmother’s funeral.

JOE: What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Liam: Go easy on the gym. JOE: The gin or the gym? Liam: The gym. And the gin. Go easy on the gin in the gym!

JOE: What is your worst habit?

JOE: Who or what grinds your gears?

Liam: Ooooh. I’m not easily annoyed. Actually, I hate when you get caught on the bus and you have to sit down beside someone that you know but you don’t really know well and you have to talk to them for the whole journey.

There’s nothing worse than that.

JOE: Would you rather eat poop-flavoured chocolate or chocolate-flavoured poop?

Liam: Chocolate-flavoured poop of course!

JOE: Who was your first crush?

Anna Kournikova

Liam: Who was that blonde tennis player? Anna Kournikova. I had a poster of her on my wall. You know the one when she’s scratching her arse? That one.
