Alan Kinsella may have one of the most interesting hobbies we've heard about in a long time.
He collects all sorts of political merchandise, including wet wipes, harmonicas and election posters.
Speaking to Dermot & Dave Alan said, “I have Simon Harris wet wipes given out in 2016 I think, I wouldn’t open them or use them, it’s like wine you don’t open it!”
"I also have a Sinn Fein harmonica, it actually works and I can play it.”
"I go to a lot of protests to pick stuff up and people find stuff and send it on to me.”
But perhaps most impressively of all, Alan has collected over 3,000 election posters over the years.
Here the election posters that #DermotAndDave were talking about. @electionlit has collected souvenirs from around Ireland and the world over the last number of years, including @SimonHarrisTD WET WHIPES.

Soon after hearing Alan's story, other listeners got in touch with the lads about their brilliantly quirky collections.
Ian in Belfast revealed he collects pinball machines, he’s the proud owner of 16 of them!
While Ellen in Louth also got in touch with the show about her Harry Potter collection, which she keeps in her downstairs loo because she ran out of space.
