- 0:08Speaker 1: Tom.
- 0:09Speaker 2: I know I get accused every now and then. I've
- 0:11Speaker 2: been old fashioned and stuck in my ways and I
- 0:13Speaker 2: try not to be. But every now and then, you know,

- 0:28Speaker 1: And I shouldn't have. I should it shouldn't have been.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Remarkable in today's day and age twenty twenty six, but
- 0:34Speaker 2: here we are. I saw a woman driving a bin lurie.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Do you know what now?
- 0:41Speaker 3: I there?
- 0:43Speaker 4: Yes, I remember the first woman I ever saw driving
- 0:46Speaker 4: a truck.
- 0:47Speaker 3: We were laying concrete.
- 0:48Speaker 4: I was about thirteen years of age, and honestly it
- 0:52Speaker 4: was if a fucking alien was driving the truck, it
- 0:57Speaker 4: would would have been less of a surprise, less of
- 0:59Speaker 4: a price.
- 1:01Speaker 3: And she wasn't, remember, I can remember to this day.
- 1:03Speaker 4: She wasn't what you would associate with concrete truck drivers,
- 1:08Speaker 4: if you know what I mean. She didn't get out
- 1:09Speaker 4: with the sleeves cut off her shirt and fucking buzz
- 1:12Speaker 4: cut like she was, and fine looking woman got out
- 1:16Speaker 4: and she was like, all right, let's let's get this board.
- 1:19Speaker 3: And then she went, she went.
- 1:21Speaker 4: But it was do you know what I'm saying? More
- 1:23Speaker 4: and more of and it's gone very cool. Is a
- 1:28Speaker 4: huge influx of young women driver driving tractors.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, Oh I'm okay, I'm not.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna pull the lady over and say what
- 1:38Speaker 1: are you doing?
- 1:39Speaker 4: Ladies?
- 1:39Speaker 1: Weakness?
- 1:43Speaker 3: What's a lady like you doing in a lorry like this?
- 1:48Speaker 2: Do whatever you want? And it's delightful.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We live in a world like that.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But I can't help, but I just gotta tell you it.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Just for a little split second, I was like, huh,
- 1:57Speaker 2: quite the choice. There a bin lorry and not just
- 2:00Speaker 2: a bit of lorry, Tom, the brown bin lorry.
- 2:03Speaker 3: That's already. Woman.
- 2:04Speaker 1: You're just driving around and stink from one end of
- 2:07Speaker 1: the day to the.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Next, and that gets into the into their skin and everything.
- 2:10Speaker 4: But do you know what it is? It's a well
- 2:11Speaker 4: pain job, is what it is. And you'd often find
- 2:15Speaker 4: even it's not that you're stuck in the mode out
- 2:17Speaker 4: ladder and looking at women would see a woman truck
- 2:21Speaker 4: driver and go huh, chrish, do you know, it's it's
- 2:24Speaker 4: just an odd thing to speak like.
- 2:26Speaker 3: There's a couple of.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Delivering stuff to a site one time and your man
- 2:31Speaker 4: had his six year old young fla on a digger
- 2:34Speaker 4: loads and stuff and load gifted and I remember going, what
- 2:38Speaker 4: the fuck? That's that's cool?
- 2:42Speaker 1: It just catches your eye.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean because if this is your first
- 2:45Speaker 2: time listening to the Tom and Jerry Show, we're probably
- 2:47Speaker 2: not making a great just two lads going like jesz,
- 2:50Speaker 2: you never see you never know what?
- 2:52Speaker 1: I saw a woman? Do you know what?
- 2:54Speaker 4: It is?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Weird?
- 2:55Speaker 4: Late, it's interesting and weird, and it's long, long may continue.
- 3:00Speaker 2: It's it's traditional, traditionally a male centric profession, the bin
- 3:05Speaker 2: men of this world. But I would recuse collectors of
- 3:08Speaker 2: this world.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Do you know what there?
- 3:09Speaker 1: I said.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I've said this many times when it comes to sports.
- 3:12Speaker 4: So many sports are missing out when it comes to
- 3:14Speaker 4: the women's side of things or men they are missing
- 3:17Speaker 4: out getting men into women's side of things, like the
- 3:20Speaker 4: tennis is huge now for women, the UFC now is
- 3:22Speaker 4: huge now for women. Guinness drinking women. I'll tell you
- 3:25Speaker 4: one thing. We need to more women block layers, but
- 3:28Speaker 4: we need more fellas doing primarily women's jobs. Do you
- 3:32Speaker 4: know more fella hairdressers? But what I mean is the
- 3:35Speaker 4: same fellow that could come out of a bin Lorry
- 3:37Speaker 4: go in and cut a woman's hair fair good.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just come in and go oh yeah.
- 3:41Speaker 2: It's it's the goal is wide open there any anybody
- 3:45Speaker 2: this world, you know if you just decide all of
- 3:47Speaker 2: a sudden that you know, I'm going to I'm going
- 3:50Speaker 2: to bust through gender norms here and go go work
- 3:54Speaker 2: in the slaughter house or whatever it might be.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Do you know some people are cut out different ways,
- 3:58Speaker 4: and I think it's a lot of time And said,
- 4:00Speaker 4: if that woman was raised around trucks, she's a.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Better truck driver than you or I would ever be.
- 4:04Speaker 3: You know that can away it's.
- 4:05Speaker 1: In you to say the four cars here, Tom.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't hold that against her either, like that
- 4:14Speaker 4: cars too bigin my As you speak about you know
- 4:19Speaker 4: a woman, I just just as.
- 4:20Speaker 3: We're about the press record, I heard a.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Screech from what I assumed I was with my wife,
- 4:25Speaker 4: and I was correct. I'm like, christ if I had
- 4:27Speaker 4: to deal with something now. She had just dozed off
- 4:30Speaker 4: on the couch after we're finally finishing the final room here,
- 4:35Speaker 4: final room in the house chairs nearly there, so she
- 4:37Speaker 4: she was bed from it, and one of the ghats decided,
- 4:40Speaker 4: I'm going to come all the way down and creepishly
- 4:42Speaker 4: breathe against the window of the to sit room and
- 4:46Speaker 4: just steer at the woman indoors, and that's what the
- 4:49Speaker 4: screech was.
- 4:49Speaker 3: So we leave. That's the way after.
- 4:53Speaker 2: I don't like go to the best of the times.
- 4:54Speaker 2: And if I saw a goat eye look at me
- 4:56Speaker 2: through the window, I would definitely think that I was horst.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And holy shit, isn't that hell a segment? Isn't that
- 5:07Speaker 2: a hell of a segment? Into the segment of the
- 5:09Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry Show, The Weekly?
- 5:12Speaker 1: What have You?
- 5:14Speaker 3: The Green and Red May. I can hear it still.

- 5:26Speaker 1: I've never heard that song before.
- 5:27Speaker 4: How the fuck you saw doctors just twenty thirty years old? Shirt?
- 5:32Speaker 2: Yeah, but who do you think was requesting that at
- 5:34Speaker 2: a night club in Monaghan?
- 5:35Speaker 1: Tom?
- 5:36Speaker 4: No, But at the same time, you never just put
- 5:38Speaker 4: on Spotify and just throw on some of the Irish hits,
- 5:41Speaker 4: you know what I mean, just let it, let it select,
- 5:42Speaker 4: and all of a sudden the saw doctors fucking bail
- 5:45Speaker 4: and bail and hey.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I would have always had the saw Doctors down as
- 5:47Speaker 2: a goalwy band on that all En seventeen. I had
- 5:50Speaker 2: no idea they branched out into other chnic.
- 5:52Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
- 5:53Speaker 4: The west, the west west of our not clear, not Limerick,
- 5:58Speaker 4: not Kerry, Sligo, Mayo lead from risk Common.
- 6:03Speaker 3: They're kind of maybe the more common.
- 6:07Speaker 4: They're all they're all in it together, if you know
- 6:10Speaker 4: what I mean, A bit like now again each other.
- 6:12Speaker 4: They fucking hate each other right, but tis tis conductor
- 6:15Speaker 4: to hell, you know what I mean? That is their
- 6:18Speaker 4: area so like to be Galway people who were just
- 6:23Speaker 4: as happy. And I'm no doubt there's one or two
- 6:25Speaker 4: lads probably from Mayo or whatever front in the in
- 6:28Speaker 4: the band. Do you know, like bet we better say
- 6:31Speaker 4: what the week I have you is here now for
- 6:33Speaker 4: the three people. I don't know how you're listening to
- 6:35Speaker 4: the Tom and Jerry Show and not know how went
- 6:37Speaker 4: down on Sunday. Yeah, so as it happened yesterday, as
- 6:41Speaker 4: we're recording yesterday, history was made. History History's made every momentary,
- 6:48Speaker 4: but true history was made. Decibel levels were apparently recorded
- 6:52Speaker 4: at an all time record high when the whole of
- 6:56Speaker 4: Castle Bar, Westport, Belahedrine, Foxford, all them places had infiltrated
- 7:02Speaker 4: Crow Parks to field the Dreams to enter their eleventh
- 7:08Speaker 4: All Ireland Final in seventy five years against the men
- 7:11Speaker 4: of Kerry yesterday and against all belief, against all the
- 7:15Speaker 4: bookies odds, Mayo went on to win the All Ireland
- 7:19Speaker 4: Final in for Kayley Football yesterday.
- 7:21Speaker 2: We everybody loves an underdog story and everybody loves a
- 7:25Speaker 2: story story. So even if you're not a sports fan,
- 7:28Speaker 2: and I have proved under this show that not many
- 7:31Speaker 2: times I watched this game yesterday, and I'll be honest
- 7:34Speaker 2: with you, I did want Mayo to win. I have
- 7:36Speaker 2: a lot of friends from Mayo. Well, like you know,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I say friends know them to see Tom Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 7:43Speaker 2: but you know I would wish them well and enough
- 7:45Speaker 2: is enough. But at the same time, if Kerry had
- 7:49Speaker 2: trends to them, I would have laughed at that too.
- 7:51Speaker 2: But as it happened, Mayo, as you say yourself, after
- 7:55Speaker 2: our seventy five year drought lifted the Sam Maguire Cup
- 7:59Speaker 2: and if that's not word of a segment on one
- 8:02Speaker 2: of Ireland's least listen to podcasts, Tom, I don't excuse yourself.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Where we're in the top ten percent of some weeks.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, we are in the top ten percent. Now what
- 8:14Speaker 3: that what that qualification is? I don't know. Both.
- 8:16Speaker 4: We're in the top top ten percent of comedy podcasts
- 8:19Speaker 4: in Ireland on a regular basis.
- 8:20Speaker 3: So stick tack in your pipe and smoke.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Some of these are just jokes, buddy, Yeah, I know,
- 8:25Speaker 4: I know it is true, but I tell you there was.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I didn't shed it here, but there was a shininess
- 8:31Speaker 4: in my eye. Have a lot of grawl from Mayo,
- 8:34Speaker 4: we Honeymoon and Mayo. I was almost in the Hardy books.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Do you know a lot of friends?
- 8:40Speaker 1: You were the fifth Hardy book, like you were.
- 8:42Speaker 4: No, I don't think I was going to be a
- 8:43Speaker 4: hardy book, but it was. It fell around the time
- 8:47Speaker 4: of My My My Onlymoon.
- 8:49Speaker 3: We actually drove through.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Swinford, which is Castletown, yes in the show, and they
- 8:55Speaker 4: were filming it and I was going and attach such
- 8:57Speaker 4: could do you want to do? You want to pull over?
- 8:59Speaker 4: Because I'd been best I can't really do you want
- 9:02Speaker 4: to pull over and see said, we'll be here all
- 9:04Speaker 4: day if.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I am in it. I don't mind him.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Yeah, you say that now, But you know that a
- 9:12Speaker 4: wise man drives on, drives on to the destination. They're
- 9:15Speaker 4: a wise man drives on. I think that's why your
- 9:17Speaker 4: marriage is lested less than this long, because I had Yeah,
- 9:20Speaker 4: it would.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Have been different.
- 9:24Speaker 4: Some of the wildest gigs have ever done, some stories,
- 9:28Speaker 4: legendary stories out of gigs have ever So I have
- 9:30Speaker 4: a grow for the place I once bought an envelop
- 9:31Speaker 4: a woman with a beard in Foxford.
- 9:35Speaker 3: As you do. And these these are these.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Are just things that And that's not to say I
- 9:41Speaker 4: don't I don't like Erry. I don't have friends from Kerry,
- 9:44Speaker 4: but they had on this occasion. They've had enough, They've
- 9:49Speaker 4: had enough for fox They're always there thereabouts. But no,
- 9:52Speaker 4: Mayo went on two shall we said, you're as everybody's saying,
- 9:58Speaker 4: break the course, break the hood.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Break the break the break the usual, that they had
- 10:03Speaker 2: been under it for the past seventy five years. Yeah,
- 10:06Speaker 2: and that you know, we're not a very sporting podcast,
- 10:08Speaker 2: but we wish Mayo all the best in their future. Endeavors,
- 10:13Speaker 2: you know, so we were wondering about what we could
- 10:15Speaker 2: talk about for this. There was a couple of other
- 10:17Speaker 2: famous sporting droughts from around the world. The the Chicago Cubs,
- 10:23Speaker 2: I want.
- 10:23Speaker 4: To say to one hundred and eight years in two
- 10:26Speaker 4: hundred and eight years with clubs I remember correctly was
- 10:28Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, and it was on the same weekend that
- 10:32Speaker 4: another drought was not just a drought, but a non
- 10:36Speaker 4: event that ever happened happened. Ireland played the All Blacks
- 10:40Speaker 4: this New Zeas and All Blacks and rugby in Soldier
- 10:43Speaker 4: Field in Chicago. The place was already bonkers that weekend
- 10:47Speaker 4: because the Cubs, the first time in one hundred and
- 10:49Speaker 4: eight years a won the World Series. They call it
- 10:51Speaker 4: the World Series year, but nobody else gets to play
- 10:53Speaker 4: in it.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you see teams from Germany in there, so you don't.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Know, you don't.
- 10:57Speaker 2: But even even recently, Tom, we had the New Year
- 11:00Speaker 2: or Convix I believe, Yeah.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Time in a long long time they did. They did.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yeah, they did basketball right, the basketball in basketball.
- 11:07Speaker 3: So it's nice to see.
- 11:09Speaker 4: It's nice to see a people like this, As they say,
- 11:11Speaker 4: it's good for sport.
- 11:12Speaker 1: It's good for everybody.
- 11:13Speaker 3: It's a great story and if it's good for you.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Oh, I chatting with her own Colugan of the Hardy
- 11:20Speaker 4: Books yesterday, congratulated because I don't even know what to say.
- 11:23Speaker 4: It's party if us standing here all just staring at
- 11:25Speaker 4: each other, not even shouting, crying. This was an hour
- 11:28Speaker 4: after the match, just standing there looking at you other,
- 11:30Speaker 4: crying for you know, entire lives have been gone and
- 11:35Speaker 4: passed without.
- 11:36Speaker 3: All you ever seeing it.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Seventy five years like it's seven if you were seventy
- 11:40Speaker 4: four years when you croaked, which is that You know
- 11:43Speaker 4: it's an all right innings. It's not a great one,
- 11:45Speaker 4: but it's not you have never seen as a male person,
- 11:48Speaker 4: you won't have seen this.
- 11:50Speaker 3: You know this this thing.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Like there's very few people who saw the first one
- 11:53Speaker 4: or the last one. I said, they won three up
- 11:55Speaker 4: until then, but.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Their last one.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Let's take a look at it, because this is what
- 11:59Speaker 1: did get their interested.
- 12:01Speaker 2: If you if you've listened to the Tom and Jerry
- 12:02Speaker 2: Show at all, you know that whereas we don't really
- 12:05Speaker 2: care for sport.
- 12:05Speaker 5: We fucking love pishugs, we love love horses hexes and
- 12:11Speaker 5: that invokes the rat of the we folk ing it
- 12:14Speaker 5: all and.
- 12:15Speaker 2: There are stories about the male course and how the
- 12:20Speaker 2: team have come to go seventy five years without an.
- 12:23Speaker 1: All Ireland win.
- 12:25Speaker 2: And these stories are cute and add to the storytelling
- 12:32Speaker 2: of it all. Tom, but we're gonna pull at them
- 12:33Speaker 2: a little bit here and maybe we might think maybe
- 12:36Speaker 2: they are just that. I mean, look at it.
- 12:39Speaker 4: It stacks up as a great story. So to give
- 12:45Speaker 4: people the insight in case you were going what, I
- 12:47Speaker 4: never what, or you're going no, I'm with it, and
- 12:49Speaker 4: you have some which way the way the way it's
- 12:52Speaker 4: the way it's told and how it transpired. And I
- 12:54Speaker 4: previously mentioned Foxford captain something brother of the Argentinian. He
- 12:59Speaker 4: was a happen and he what's he? It's a great village.
- 13:02Speaker 4: You've got a little museum. I forget his name. A
- 13:05Speaker 4: man from Foxford went on to be I don't know.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Is he admiral of like the Argentinian Navy or something
- 13:10Speaker 4: brilliant like that. Anyway, another story for another time. But
- 13:13Speaker 4: this incident happened in nineteen fifty one after Mayo had
- 13:17Speaker 4: beaten mead In to win the Samaguara Cup. And this
- 13:21Speaker 4: is their third time ever win it, so you know,
- 13:25Speaker 4: they weren't peppered with fucking all urns either at the time,
- 13:28Speaker 4: so no, it was a great affair.
- 13:30Speaker 3: So they made it back.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Like all crowds do on a big, boisterous bus. Now
- 13:34Speaker 4: the argument is worthy in the bus were they in
- 13:36Speaker 4: an open.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Top within the back of a trail.
- 13:38Speaker 3: Or a lorry like you know what I mean?
- 13:40Speaker 4: But they passed the funeral procession in the village of Oxford,
- 13:43Speaker 4: and essentially they were you know, your respect would be
- 13:47Speaker 4: take off your caps, because they probably all had flap
- 13:49Speaker 4: caps back then. You know, turn down the fucking music,
- 13:52Speaker 4: cap out your pipe, you know, pause, spotify whatever it
- 13:55Speaker 4: is that they're doing, you know what I mean, Taylor
- 13:56Speaker 4: Swift doesn't need to be blaring through Oxford at anytime,
- 13:59Speaker 4: let alone join in the funeral there.
- 14:02Speaker 3: They did none of those things. They did nothing. They
- 14:04Speaker 3: didn't quieten down.
- 14:05Speaker 4: They were probably drinking all the way from you know,
- 14:07Speaker 4: Dublin to the west of Ireland, which probably took about
- 14:10Speaker 4: fucking seven hours back there, and by all accounts, an
- 14:15Speaker 4: outraged priest reportedly JESU this fell had some if it
- 14:20Speaker 4: he's something not only badness in him, but it's some
- 14:23Speaker 4: imagination to say, I will, you'll, I put the hecks
- 14:27Speaker 4: on you so that you'll never win an All Ireland,
- 14:31Speaker 4: Mayo will never win and I Roland while every one
- 14:33Speaker 4: of those players are alive. Now that's a I don't yeah,
- 14:38Speaker 4: that's some don't you put that hit on me, Ricky Bobby? Yeah, yeah,
- 14:45Speaker 4: so it is, I mean, and like that. They had
- 14:47Speaker 4: since then up until now, jer did eleven defeats. No.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Thirteen finals technic eleven finals, we'll say, but they had
- 14:55Speaker 4: two replays, so they thirteen matches.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Lost it every year since since then technically speaking, but yeah, yeah.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Yeah, eleven finals and with two replays, least thirteen final
- 15:05Speaker 4: matches they lost or didn't win unless they did would
- 15:09Speaker 4: have drawn two of them. And they suffered a freak
- 15:13Speaker 4: in the twenty sixteen final that was the year of
- 15:16Speaker 4: the All Blacks and all that, where they end up
- 15:18Speaker 4: scoring two own goals, own goals, I'm shooting off voter
- 15:21Speaker 4: feet with the fucking shotgun. That was against Dublin and
- 15:26Speaker 4: then the last lad Paddy Prendergast and Doctor Mick was
- 15:32Speaker 4: one of the last, but he was one of the
- 15:33Speaker 4: most outspoken and talked an awful lot about it. He
- 15:35Speaker 4: died in twenty twenty one, and then the final surviving
- 15:37Speaker 4: squad member died in twenty twenty. I thought it was
- 15:40Speaker 4: last year, but it was twenty twenty three.
- 15:42Speaker 3: It says year.
- 15:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was last year, which again Elong
- 15:47Speaker 4: getting this story there doctor Mick Loft as he passed away.
- 15:51Speaker 4: So that left it with absolutely coming into twenty twenty
- 15:54Speaker 4: six final, they were left with no surviving members of
- 15:59Speaker 4: that score left left unplanet Earth and I don't know right.
- 16:06Speaker 4: So sometimes like sport, when you get to the finals
- 16:09Speaker 4: of things, what you're normally left normally left with are
- 16:12Speaker 4: the two best fittest teams in it, the two mentally
- 16:15Speaker 4: toughest teams in it. Yes, and for a lot of
- 16:18Speaker 4: teams like Mayo's, like Watford, shall we say, like Galway
- 16:22Speaker 4: and you know in the other you know in in
- 16:24Speaker 4: the Hurlan, their final had been the semi final if
- 16:27Speaker 4: you get me, and they're already fucking bet before they
- 16:29Speaker 4: get there, even though they have the physical prowess, they
- 16:31Speaker 4: have the ability to get there, but you want But
- 16:34Speaker 4: what you normally find is two teams who get there.
- 16:37Speaker 4: A lot kill Kenny's Limericks Tipperaries.
- 16:41Speaker 3: They have self.
- 16:41Speaker 4: Belief and this is unbelievable thing. The mental game is
- 16:44Speaker 4: an unbelievable thing. So I wonder, do you know because
- 16:49Speaker 4: they've been there eleven times and like that in twenty
- 16:51Speaker 4: sixteen scored two fucking on goals, Like you know what
- 16:53Speaker 4: I mean, that's a team that don't believe. They did
- 16:55Speaker 4: not believe they were supposed to win or be there.
- 16:58Speaker 4: But that team, Yes, today, after watching that match, they
- 17:02Speaker 4: were down for me with the one five to one point.
- 17:04Speaker 6: At one stage, I was watching it, watching it on
- 17:07Speaker 6: the on the live blog on the phone and because
- 17:09Speaker 6: there's out walking the dog and I looked at ten
- 17:12Speaker 6: minutes in, I was like, lads, I thought you were
- 17:13Speaker 6: going to make a game out of this.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Well, they had the mental fortitude, as they're say in wrestling,
- 17:20Speaker 4: to have the to hold in there, stem the flow
- 17:25Speaker 4: and then turn the tide and end up winning the thing.
- 17:28Speaker 4: And I wonder, right, there's times I'm not totally getting
- 17:31Speaker 4: off the fence on this story, but do you think
- 17:34Speaker 4: that the hohodo is gone even if they believed or
- 17:37Speaker 4: didn't believe that, Well, the hoodoo is gone now, so
- 17:40Speaker 4: let's go all in now. It does help that you've
- 17:42Speaker 4: a new coach, you know what I mean. It does
- 17:43Speaker 4: help that you've got a batch of players who haven't
- 17:45Speaker 4: been tainted by the fucking.
- 17:46Speaker 3: The failures in the past.
- 17:48Speaker 4: They think they you know, they don't have that thank
- 17:50Speaker 4: And there was one guy there now he wasn't playing.
- 17:54Speaker 3: What's the name, o'shee.
- 17:56Speaker 4: He's even he's a carry name, but he's not. He's
- 18:00Speaker 4: he's been there a million times and never never done it.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Now he was out.
- 18:02Speaker 4: He wasn't in the game yesterday. But I wonder what
- 18:06Speaker 4: is it was the who'd have gone on?
- 18:09Speaker 2: That's that what I'm hearing from you, Tom, is if
- 18:11Speaker 2: you believe you're cursed.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I wonder if you believe your curse, your course, because
- 18:16Speaker 4: some teams are course. Cork last year in the All
- 18:19Speaker 4: Arn Final they were up by about six thirteen fucking
- 18:22Speaker 4: points at halftime and in their head they were on
- 18:25Speaker 4: the bus with the trophy all the way walking down
- 18:27Speaker 4: fucking Grand Parade and Cork they forgot that there was
- 18:30Speaker 4: a second fucking half in the match.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Tipperary didn't tipper delighted to be there.
- 18:34Speaker 4: When do you know what, We're actually still in this
- 18:37Speaker 4: game and we're kind of shy all year.
- 18:40Speaker 2: You know what, you know what I want before this
- 18:42Speaker 2: day's outres I just want to get on the scoreboard.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and they fucking ended up beating by about thirteen
- 18:46Speaker 4: fucking points because Cork ended up being so full of themselves.
- 18:50Speaker 4: And we're on the bus and gone home and mentally
- 18:52Speaker 4: so now the mental.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Time I want to talk to about I want to
- 18:54Speaker 2: talk to about this course because then we haven't We
- 18:56Speaker 2: don't want to absolutely pass on Mayo's parade.
- 18:59Speaker 3: But there's a fair.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Degree of fucking waffle going on here.
- 19:06Speaker 4: It is.
- 19:08Speaker 3: It is true because.
- 19:11Speaker 4: I don't think even even Jorn I can't remember, but
- 19:15Speaker 4: I watched it, yes, and I've seen a couple of
- 19:16Speaker 4: clips of it back. But I don't even think Joran
- 19:19Speaker 4: Jack Coyne, who is the coat or the captain is
- 19:21Speaker 4: I don't think he mentioned it, do you know what
- 19:24Speaker 4: I mean? He gave this a very heartfelt standard speech
- 19:27Speaker 4: and you're kind of going the captain even didn't even
- 19:30Speaker 4: mention this seventy five.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Like what course here?
- 19:34Speaker 7: Now?
- 19:34Speaker 4: Yeah? What I for all the rest of them because
- 19:37Speaker 4: you you have to be cut throat. These guys are gone.
- 19:41Speaker 4: You can all suck on the course that fucking last losers.
- 19:45Speaker 4: I'm the fucking winning captain. I will never buy another
- 19:48Speaker 4: drink in his fucking county.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I'm getting a job as a sales rep for red
- 19:52Speaker 2: Mills in the morning.
- 19:53Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
- 19:54Speaker 2: So here's the crack, though, the talk that the course
- 20:00Speaker 2: was handed down by a priest doesn't really hold water. Now,
- 20:05Speaker 2: a Catholic priest would not be one for issuing what
- 20:08Speaker 2: it is for all intents and purposes of tom pagan.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Course, pagan carry on, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Pagan carrying on, and and and and I.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Can't see a priest came And I tell Dina, not
- 20:20Speaker 2: one of you will ever see the winning of all
- 20:22Speaker 2: Ireland again on account of what is you know, certainly
- 20:26Speaker 2: a little bit of ignorance, but like.
- 20:31Speaker 1: You know, it's one funeral lads.
- 20:34Speaker 3: And also, I can promise you at the time one thing.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Two things went hand in hand.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Well, I was the Catholic Church and the GA went
- 20:42Speaker 4: hand in hand.
- 20:44Speaker 2: And if there was anything that the Catholic Church was
- 20:46Speaker 2: gonna let slide, it's the mishaps of the GA.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing previously talked about. Prender Guest, Mister Prendergast,
- 20:54Speaker 4: Paddy Prendegast. He was all over every sort of podcast
- 20:57Speaker 4: and everything open right up till his dying day, and
- 21:00Speaker 4: he couldn't recall it. He said, to be honest, I
- 21:02Speaker 4: was down to deep in the truck, if you know
- 21:04Speaker 4: what I mean to decide, we're hiding high on it.
- 21:06Speaker 4: So I didn't really come across such thing. And it
- 21:08Speaker 4: was never mentioned afterwards. And I mean that could be
- 21:11Speaker 4: from one man. But here's where it gets interesting. A
- 21:14Speaker 4: father Quinn was played in that game for male and
- 21:19Speaker 4: a priest himself, back when priests were playing football. He
- 21:22Speaker 4: played in that match and he completely poo poo, he went,
- 21:26Speaker 4: not a bit of.
- 21:27Speaker 1: It, not a bit of it.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Nice.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Well, it certainly didn't come back through any fellow I knew,
- 21:34Speaker 4: and I would have known the priest that was if
- 21:36Speaker 4: if in fact there even was a funeral that dager,
- 21:38Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
- 21:39Speaker 2: But you know, like that'd be the kind of thing
- 21:42Speaker 2: that with records and one thing another, you could probably
- 21:44Speaker 2: look that up fairly handy if you were so inclined.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Uh.
- 21:47Speaker 2: There is talk that this whole mention, of of course,
- 21:49Speaker 2: only started to grow legs in the early two thousands. Yeah,
- 21:53Speaker 2: and that's when not for nothing as well, our old
- 21:56Speaker 2: friend the Internet gets into into play and people can
- 21:58Speaker 2: chat and and Chinese wisper can spread an awful lot
- 22:01Speaker 2: quicker when you've got the fucking horror box in front
- 22:04Speaker 2: of you, rather than just local stories for local people.
- 22:07Speaker 2: But I dare say, some little rumor or some little
- 22:09Speaker 2: Scotch escaped containment. I became.
- 22:16Speaker 1: The whole thing.
- 22:17Speaker 4: What it is bounced around that it was the widow,
- 22:21Speaker 4: which you could kind of, you know, if you're thinking
- 22:23Speaker 4: about this in terms of a good story, the widow
- 22:28Speaker 4: with the black lace around her face, and you know,
- 22:31Speaker 4: and all the rest. But then I'm thinking, geezuz. I mean,
- 22:33Speaker 4: they're die hard football fans. I'd say even she would
- 22:36Speaker 4: have been happy enough with the win.
- 22:38Speaker 2: If her husband is a Mayo man and he's in
- 22:40Speaker 2: a coffin, then you know he's only sorry that he
- 22:42Speaker 2: died before they've seen the game.
- 22:44Speaker 4: And then for maybe people like you and me asking
- 22:48Speaker 4: that question, going yeah, I don't know. If she's a
- 22:49Speaker 4: Mayle woman of Fox for women, she probably delighted. The
- 22:51Speaker 4: husband would have been delighted. Then the story grew legs
- 22:55Speaker 4: and they were told then that always a traveling woman
- 22:58Speaker 4: and traveling women would have been of they would add
- 23:01Speaker 4: a hexy vibe about.
- 23:01Speaker 8: Him back then.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Aout them yeah yeah, yeah so and it there. It
- 23:07Speaker 4: bounced back and forth in between this mystical priest. There
- 23:10Speaker 4: was never a name on the priest. There was never
- 23:13Speaker 4: a the like the wording was very, very harsh, yes,
- 23:20Speaker 4: very harsh, all of you have to die before Mayo
- 23:23Speaker 4: will see another Ireland gen like I wonder too sometimes
- 23:30Speaker 4: when it comes to these things there and this is
- 23:32Speaker 4: probably past me getting off the defense. Is there a
- 23:36Speaker 4: bit of fucking crutched on under a situation too, like
- 23:39Speaker 4: we're going why don't you fucking won anything in fucking
- 23:42Speaker 4: sixty years?
- 23:43Speaker 5: Yes?
- 23:45Speaker 3: Would you believe it on the day the last time?
- 23:48Speaker 4: Like I wonder if you went around the world, or
- 23:50Speaker 4: if you went around like counties, would you find parish
- 23:54Speaker 4: teams that miraculously happened a similar thing like well this
- 23:57Speaker 4: is a two times like apparently a priest to put
- 23:59Speaker 4: a hecks on. They'd be first cousins my father, and
- 24:04Speaker 4: they would they were a funeral something to do with
- 24:07Speaker 4: the funeral going up the wrong way when you can't
- 24:10Speaker 4: come up this way and the hecks are putting them
- 24:11Speaker 4: and nothing give of it. I don't know if any
- 24:14Speaker 4: Hicks was put on him at the time that would
- 24:16Speaker 4: definitely have fallen out. Did happen, but that was about
- 24:18Speaker 4: the extent of it.
- 24:19Speaker 2: But this might be like the hecks that was put
- 24:21Speaker 2: on me that said I would never see six foor
- 24:23Speaker 2: tall Tom. You know, yeah, I'm sure I fucking ran
- 24:25Speaker 2: a foul of somebody, somebody witchy.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, yeah, he put on me I wanted
- 24:30Speaker 4: to play corner over the Tipperary or that also never transpired.
- 24:34Speaker 4: I know what which I must have upset back in
- 24:36Speaker 4: the day.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Would have nothing to do with their scalear talent.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Would have to be no, no, no, no, have to be.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Course was the reason why the Tom and Jerry Show
- 24:43Speaker 2: hasn't cracked the top five percent podcasts in Ireland.
- 24:46Speaker 4: Hex hex anybody wants, anybody wants to know about it,
- 24:50Speaker 4: go back and find the p Shokes episode. And we
- 24:53Speaker 4: probably maybe treaded too closely to the to the Nether
- 24:56Speaker 4: World Secrets. I do think I think it was a
- 25:00Speaker 4: bit of a crutch that was invented for the reason
- 25:02Speaker 4: for failure and maybe could have been down to the
- 25:05Speaker 4: fact that.
- 25:07Speaker 3: They didn't have the mental fortitude.
- 25:08Speaker 4: They probably didn't have the training programs that Dublin Kerry
- 25:13Speaker 4: to some of the northern teams Corks, you know, the
- 25:17Speaker 4: good football teams who actually had a training program that
- 25:20Speaker 4: they put in place, and they didn't just swan around
- 25:23Speaker 4: the place fucking feeling sorry for themselves that they couldn't
- 25:25Speaker 4: pull the trigger and get rid of the bridesmaids.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Stress.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Let me let me yeah, I know that's hard. Let
- 25:33Speaker 1: me ask you one.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Here, Tom now before we will jump off and we
- 25:36Speaker 2: let that we let you know. This episode drops on Thursday,
- 25:40Speaker 2: Mayo is absolutely still going to be in the pub
- 25:41Speaker 2: by then. So we have a couple of drinks. What
- 25:45Speaker 2: do you think now of the male people you know,
- 25:47Speaker 2: and I know a couple as well, and I know
- 25:49Speaker 2: a couple of the same male people.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Now that they've actually won the All Ireland, what do
- 25:53Speaker 1: you think they're going to fucking winge about now?
- 25:56Speaker 4: Now they wonder why they don't have any success in Hurland. Yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 4: because you don't have a single fucking.
- 26:03Speaker 3: Holder in your whole county.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Alright, I'm sorry, let's but you would if you look
- 26:07Speaker 4: for the on switch on a fucking early but I
- 26:10Speaker 4: would say that is the next thing, if they're going
- 26:12Speaker 4: to find a crutch for anything, don't make it another
- 26:16Speaker 4: seventy five year fucking course, lets because nobody's fucking buying
- 26:19Speaker 4: that one. Next Yeah, I would say we were probably
- 26:22Speaker 4: all Mandela affected into it.
- 26:23Speaker 3: After a while we were gone, yeah.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that classic seventy five year old.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Seventy five year old.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Of course, course your generations.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Now came up in the nineties, and like so many things,
- 26:35Speaker 4: if you don't actually ask a couple of questions, it's
- 26:37Speaker 4: much easier and much more fun to go along with it.
- 26:40Speaker 4: Like yeah, because what it did, jar was it told
- 26:43Speaker 4: a story brilliantly and it culminated yesterday. Like I said,
- 26:47Speaker 4: desperbel levels went above anything that was ever recorded and
- 26:50Speaker 4: Growk Park for a match before that, there was grown
- 26:53Speaker 4: men roaring, crying on their hands, blessing themselves. It was like,
- 26:58Speaker 4: you know, it was like a one of those superchurches.
- 27:01Speaker 3: You know, there was people fucking with hands.
- 27:04Speaker 4: It was like the fucking one of your man olds
- 27:06Speaker 4: and Joe Olson just happing people on the head, just
- 27:08Speaker 4: gone feel the power of Jesus. You know. There was
- 27:12Speaker 4: lads and look, I mean I love it. I love
- 27:14Speaker 4: it when they like to. If you could have measured
- 27:17Speaker 4: the good vibes in there yesterday, I'd say it would
- 27:20Speaker 4: have healed the lame. What they cured the sick? What
- 27:23Speaker 4: the fucking raising up the fucking date?
- 27:26Speaker 3: You know it was.
- 27:26Speaker 4: There was those kind of vibes and there's nothing like it.
- 27:28Speaker 4: There's children fucking happy, there was out people happy. Everybody
- 27:32Speaker 4: was happy, and I was so happy for them. And
- 27:34Speaker 4: then when the saw Doctors, which you know, a leats
- 27:38Speaker 4: wouldn't do any harm to get a Mayo band to
- 27:39Speaker 4: fucking sing something. But anyway, when the Saw Doctors sang
- 27:42Speaker 4: blast blasted out beautiful song about the lovely Mayo, you
- 27:47Speaker 4: couldn't help but go, this could be a fucking movie.
- 27:52Speaker 4: This is always I mean, it's got a Hallmark movie
- 27:55Speaker 4: or Disney. It's got a mighty Ducks vibe to it.
- 27:56Speaker 2: It's got a mighty Ducks vibe to it.
- 27:58Speaker 4: Yeah, now without no one going through and the players
- 28:00Speaker 4: or anything anything like that, because we don't need educator
- 28:02Speaker 4: selves too much on it. Because I'll be honest with
- 28:04Speaker 4: you there the way, I always like playing Gaelic football
- 28:07Speaker 4: because I wasn't taste enough to play a hurler and
- 28:09Speaker 4: to be Horland up until once I got past the
- 28:12Speaker 4: age twelve intemporary if you can't, if you can't, I
- 28:15Speaker 4: probably would have started for most fucking shut with the
- 28:18Speaker 4: Wolves for that. Yeah I could have started a couple
- 28:20Speaker 4: of Shy county teams. But in tip if you can't
- 28:23Speaker 4: hurl herrle by the age as well, yeah you're you're
- 28:25Speaker 4: at not like so football. And that's literally how it's
- 28:27Speaker 4: looked at Like if there was if there was a
- 28:30Speaker 4: lad on that Mayo team yesterday but he had Hourland
- 28:32Speaker 4: training for his county or for his parish in Tipperary,
- 28:36Speaker 4: they'd be totally leave off to command to fucking play
- 28:39Speaker 4: and train.
- 28:39Speaker 3: That's the way it's looked at so. But we I
- 28:43Speaker 3: would love to look at it as a as a movie.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Who who would be?
- 28:49Speaker 3: Who would be are?
- 28:49Speaker 4: Because really the hero of all this isn't so much
- 28:52Speaker 4: the coaches. It's it's or isn't so much of the players.
- 28:55Speaker 4: It's the coach, Andy Moore, former player who came back
- 28:59Speaker 4: after being never getting so close and he you know,
- 29:04Speaker 4: did a bit with you know, I think lead from
- 29:06Speaker 4: in a couple of other clubs and Monahan actually his
- 29:08Speaker 4: backroom staff from Monahan as well, there you.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Go, and then he comes back. Who who's going to
- 29:14Speaker 3: play the coach?
- 29:15Speaker 4: Do you know?
- 29:16Speaker 1: It depends on the Benson when you get him.
- 29:18Speaker 2: But you'd imagine that it's Chris so downs to lose there,
- 29:20Speaker 2: don't you.
- 29:21Speaker 4: I suppose, I suppose, But I mean if if if
- 29:24Speaker 4: we want to if we want to stay local.
- 29:26Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care.
- 29:28Speaker 4: Let's m let's assume we can put a good Irish
- 29:29Speaker 4: accent in all of them, which is fucking hard done
- 29:32Speaker 4: by that, but with the fucking Irish boies.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Can't do that?
- 29:35Speaker 2: Noh okay, ex player comes back to lead everybody to
- 29:39Speaker 2: sex success in our around the age appropriate. Now we'll
- 29:42Speaker 2: give him early forties, early forties. Okay, Well, it's not
- 29:46Speaker 2: going to be Antonio Banderas that.
- 29:52Speaker 1: No, they're really good.
- 29:53Speaker 2: They're going to come at me here now they're going
- 29:55Speaker 2: to say that McBride came into the podcast giving out
- 29:57Speaker 2: about women driving Bin Louri's. Now he says, Antonio Bandeir
- 30:00Speaker 2: can't play a male man.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Just's no respect for anybody this guy.
- 30:06Speaker 2: But yeah, but but but but someone of the someone
- 30:10Speaker 2: of the Tom Cruise stature. I guess cruises a male
- 30:14Speaker 2: I gotta be take his take his far and away
- 30:16Speaker 2: accent out of.
- 30:17Speaker 1: The wardrobe and get that out again like that.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna make it either Vince Vaughn or
- 30:22Speaker 4: Woody Harrison, you know what I mean, because they.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, even though I think they're a little bit
- 30:26Speaker 2: old for it now, even a little bit of movie magic.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Yeah, four year old man.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Yeah, movie magic.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:32Speaker 3: So I so for for.
- 30:36Speaker 4: Captain Jack Jack Coyne yesterday, who were going to have
- 30:39Speaker 4: who's going to be He's got to be fresh enough looking,
- 30:42Speaker 4: can be athletic. That's that's that's that's that's young Paul
- 30:45Speaker 4: Meskals to lose their I think so, yeah, I think
- 30:47Speaker 4: it is.
- 30:48Speaker 1: He can't do that, I know, I think.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Okay, so we have to have a villain on the
- 30:54Speaker 4: other side to two villains, the captain of the I
- 30:58Speaker 4: don't know that one of the Cliffer brothers or who.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Do you know what you want if you want a villain,

- 40:28Speaker 2: No, Donnie, who went through twenty five years in the

- 40:35Speaker 2: him Tom a secret that he had told nobody.
- 40:41Speaker 1: In Yeah, great big Fluffy ears.
- 40:45Speaker 5: No, he had a secret. He had a childhood secret
- 40:48Speaker 5: that he had told absolutely nobody, and it's probably something
- 40:52Speaker 5: that that led him to where he was because Donnie Donigan,
- 40:56Speaker 5: when he was ten years of age, saw his mother
- 40:59Speaker 5: get shot Fuck.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Right now we know where the raw Baster was born, right.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Yes, Donnie Donegan saw his mother get shot dead, and Tom,
- 41:11Speaker 2: so did we because Donnie Donagan's mother at the time
- 41:18Speaker 2: was Bambie's mother. Because what nobody knew was the Donnie Donegan,
- 41:23Speaker 2: as a ten year old boy, was the voice of
- 41:26Speaker 2: Bambie in the Disney movie Bombie.
- 41:30Speaker 3: As a ten year old.
- 41:31Speaker 1: As a ten year old, the sweet little come this
- 41:34Speaker 1: way murther then, I think we've given.
- 41:37Speaker 3: Them the slip, mother, Mother, hold on.
- 41:40Speaker 4: So he went from being a cutey wootsie boy.
- 41:46Speaker 2: I went from being picked from obscurity at the age
- 41:50Speaker 2: of three in a talent contest in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Don't you know a.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Family is poor as dirt and to stick the kid
- 42:00Speaker 2: in the talent contest at three to get one hundred
- 42:03Speaker 2: dollars and they're like, holy shit. And someone says, hey,
- 42:07Speaker 2: get this kid into the movies or whatever. And he
- 42:09Speaker 2: started in a couple of movies, not in major although
- 42:12Speaker 2: we you know, we say the biggest role was Bambi
- 42:16Speaker 2: in Bambi, But his biggest on screen role was the
- 42:18Speaker 2: Son of Frankenstein in the Son of Frankenstein in nineteen
- 42:21Speaker 2: thirty nine. I haven't seen that one, but I can
- 42:24Speaker 2: only imagine's a cute little fucking dude popping around the place.
- 42:27Speaker 2: And in nineteen forty two he was selected by Walt
- 42:29Speaker 2: Disney himself to be the voice of Bambie in Bambi.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Holy then did it?
- 42:40Speaker 7: Then?
- 42:40Speaker 3: If you follow what I've told you, so far.

- 42:53Speaker 1: Don you if you learn those lines.
- 42:55Speaker 2: There's this guy over here and it looks to me
- 42:58Speaker 2: like he's Whittland Metal. What is this sorcery? And he
- 43:01Speaker 2: went to become a laid operator just just and not.
- 43:05Speaker 1: For nothing, didn't grow up to be.
- 43:06Speaker 2: It wasn't like when Daniel dale Lewis quit acting to

- 43:11Speaker 2: kid that's thirteen years of age going like, yeah, you
- 43:13Speaker 2: know what, Yeah, movies. Movies are temporary, laid in there,
- 43:17Speaker 2: that's where it is.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Well, you see this is allowed. But his head strapped on.
- 43:20Speaker 4: Let's be honest, like because I mean, the last thing
- 43:22Speaker 4: he wants to be is like Jason Bateman, like, you know,
- 43:24Speaker 4: just chasing the dream continuously. This kid, I love the
- 43:27Speaker 4: fact that he knew he was done when he was done, like.
- 43:29Speaker 1: You rapped, when you're done, you're done, when he.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Wrapped it up went.
- 43:33Speaker 4: I love the notion that he's just a burnt out

- 43:54Speaker 2: And then, you know, after after five years of laid
- 43:58Speaker 2: operation turn Actually you know what you know, I think
- 44:01Speaker 2: the real money's in killing. I think the real money's
- 44:04Speaker 2: in killing and roaring that lads at five in the morning.
- 44:06Speaker 3: She's been broken as a young deer.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

- 44:17Speaker 2: Like a thousand yards there at thirteen operating a laid

- 45:21Speaker 4: hard con from day one, and you respected everything. He
- 45:25Speaker 4: probably formed you as a soldier as a marine, he
- 45:28Speaker 4: formed you because of his heart, he hard reasoning.

- 45:45Speaker 4: do you know what I mean?
- 45:46Speaker 1: Like that?
- 45:47Speaker 2: This guy, he's as hard as fucking and in his
- 45:50Speaker 2: own words, he says, you know, there was absolutely no
- 45:52Speaker 2: way I would have succeeded in the military as much
- 45:54Speaker 2: if everybody knew I was Major Bambi.
- 45:57Speaker 3: But sure he do.
- 45:59Speaker 4: You know what it was to his blessing in the course,
- 46:02Speaker 4: You see, he didn't have any downtime leaning against the wall,
- 46:05Speaker 4: smoking figs with the boys, because he was the boss
- 46:08Speaker 4: from the second he was stepped in there. He's one
- 46:10Speaker 4: of his freaks who can just beat the boss from
- 46:12Speaker 4: the second he walks.
- 46:13Speaker 3: In the door.
- 46:14Speaker 4: But if he was just a normal grunt, there'll be

- 47:02Speaker 3: Yeah it? So did he? What was the he has?
- 47:05Speaker 3: He just did?
- 47:06Speaker 4: He so a sequester into into ambiguity after that or.
- 47:10Speaker 1: What after that?
- 47:11Speaker 2: He retired with his good lady wife, who I believe
- 47:13Speaker 2: it's still with him. But he will do an odd
- 47:15Speaker 2: convention here and there. He will do the circuit, as
- 47:18Speaker 2: they say. He works as much as he likes, is
- 47:21Speaker 2: interviewed every now and then on on the subject and
- 47:25Speaker 2: doesn't mind talking about it. But at the same time
- 47:28Speaker 2: in his own words as well, he could have made
- 47:30Speaker 2: it to be the chief of the Secret Service if
- 47:32Speaker 2: he had wanted to be. He could have dove in
- 47:34Speaker 2: front of the bullet that was headed for Kennedy. And
- 47:36Speaker 2: still people will be like, that'sh a man that played Bambi.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. As he sits there gone.
- 47:43Speaker 4: Mayo for semn.
- 47:46Speaker 2: So there you go, just a little story and the
- 47:50Speaker 2: listeners of the Tom and Jerry Show, just just a
- 47:51Speaker 2: little something something there.
- 47:53Speaker 3: I love that.
- 47:54Speaker 4: That's and the fact that he'd the wherewrell to keep himself.
- 47:58Speaker 3: But you know what, I can totally believe it because.
- 48:01Speaker 4: If you went, you know, as a team all the
- 48:03Speaker 4: way into his teens and then got drafted, then you go, oh,
- 48:06Speaker 4: I can see why.
- 48:07Speaker 3: I see. You know, he's probably be a bit resentful.
- 48:09Speaker 4: He chose oh yeah, twelve years of age.
- 48:11Speaker 3: To not chase that dream. Ago.
- 48:13Speaker 4: No, I'm going to be a machinist, thanks very much,
- 48:15Speaker 4: because there's no money that fucking these hundred good lads
- 48:18Speaker 4: aren't grown out coun trees and there's only one Bambie
- 48:21Speaker 4: and I can tell you one night, but it looks
- 48:23Speaker 4: things there isn't going to be in Bambie too, So yeah,
- 48:26Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
- 48:27Speaker 2: And the vice is going to be at thirteen years
- 48:29Speaker 2: of age anyway. Yeah, And you know, the only equivalent
- 48:32Speaker 2: of it that I can think of now is if
- 48:34Speaker 2: you can imagine being a young US marine being selled
- 48:38Speaker 2: out to Afghanistan and you're going around the fucking Candahar
- 48:42Speaker 2: province and you're your squad leader.
- 48:46Speaker 1: Is the kid from the sixth Sense, you know?
- 48:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe they were fucked.
- 48:51Speaker 4: Yeah, but a couple I do like looking into those
- 48:54Speaker 4: things every so you'll get you'll get them coming up
- 48:56Speaker 4: what they're doing now and some flers to chase the
- 48:58Speaker 4: dream and it doesn't go well from about her. But
- 49:00Speaker 4: there was you know, lads from the goonies who just decided,
- 49:04Speaker 4: it's one.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Fell that's a vet.
- 49:06Speaker 4: He totally gave it. He gave it in, give it
- 49:08Speaker 4: up straight away. That was one and done.
- 49:10Speaker 3: That's me.
- 49:11Speaker 4: And went on to be a vet after that. A
- 49:13Speaker 4: couple of lads you know from you know, the the
- 49:17Speaker 4: flight and navigator.
- 49:18Speaker 3: I think he went have to be a slicster or
- 49:19Speaker 3: something like, you.
- 49:19Speaker 1: Know, just even on to require a solicitor.
- 49:23Speaker 3: Actually, I haven't fallen.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Across anything to win into the military. And again here
- 49:29Speaker 2: I am in a like.
- 49:34Speaker 1: Succeeded. Yeah, to the high degree. You don't want to
- 49:36Speaker 1: be pinned in by eminy fire.
- 49:38Speaker 2: And you look to your left and it's just like
- 49:39Speaker 2: sucking some lad from the little rascals besides you. You're
- 49:42Speaker 2: like when he's sucking showing all the enemy where he was,
- 49:48Speaker 2: he looks up the end of the gun, there's like
- 49:49Speaker 2: a black ring comes up. Well, listen, there you go,
- 49:58Speaker 2: just a little just a little throw in for you
- 50:00Speaker 2: fine folks with the Tom and Jerry audience there and
- 50:03Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna do, Tom, We're gonna rock
- 50:04Speaker 2: and roll with the last segment of it. We went
- 50:06Speaker 2: down memory lane for that. We went down memory lane
- 50:10Speaker 2: for the last two segments. Seventy five years plus on
- 50:14Speaker 2: both of them, but they weren't within our lifetime. The
- 50:16Speaker 2: last segment of the show is we talk about things
- 50:18Speaker 2: that we've experienced in our lifetime.
- 50:20Speaker 1: Tom. It's the segment we call we remember when.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Do you have any jar?
- 50:26Speaker 1: I don't, Tom, do you I don't. I don't.
- 50:29Speaker 4: If I was going and this will tell you how
- 50:31Speaker 4: fucking deep red raw redneck I would be, I'd probably
- 50:35Speaker 4: get this what's on my T shirt right now, I'll
- 50:38Speaker 4: probably get this somewhere on my body.
- 50:41Speaker 2: I'll tell you as as I get a wee bit older,
- 50:44Speaker 2: I might actually might actually get a few.
- 50:46Speaker 1: For the fuck of it.
- 50:47Speaker 2: We better tell people what we are talking about. It
- 50:50Speaker 2: is the rise in our lifetime, Tom, of what we
- 50:53Speaker 2: used to know as tattoos, but I believe are now
- 50:56Speaker 2: known as body art.
- 50:57Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, buddy art, just like climate change with global
- 51:01Speaker 4: warming one time.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, packages is a different thing.
- 51:04Speaker 2: Tattoo just just seemed to to to course for And
- 51:10Speaker 2: you know what I'm going to tell you, I'm going
- 51:11Speaker 2: to give it to this one, because what's on people
- 51:13Speaker 2: these days are not what I knew was tattoos as
- 51:16Speaker 2: a child.
- 51:17Speaker 4: There's some now there's some shit. It's still out there
- 51:19Speaker 4: because you're asking a human to do it. Well, I mean,
- 51:21Speaker 4: this is it too until you get Now there's some people.
- 51:24Speaker 4: You could have a year long waiting list, and people
- 51:25Speaker 4: travel to Japan for some of these people, and it's
- 51:28Speaker 4: so realistic it's ludicrous their mind, the way that works
- 51:33Speaker 4: and the way they're able to write these do these things.
- 51:34Speaker 4: I saw a guy got the full proclamation and it
- 51:36Speaker 4: was very well done, but full Proclamation of independence on his.
- 51:40Speaker 3: Back and not as tattoo. It is the first one
- 51:42Speaker 3: he ever went.
- 51:42Speaker 1: For whole we go all we'll go all in on the.
- 51:45Speaker 4: Proclamation on something he'll never be able to read. It
- 51:49Speaker 4: is on his back, you know what I mean.
- 51:50Speaker 3: So, but that's I.
- 51:53Speaker 2: Gotta tell you, Tom, when we were when we were
- 51:55Speaker 2: coming up, you and I again, kids of the eighties.
- 51:57Speaker 2: So I'm not going to say like what we were
- 51:59Speaker 2: there for the invention of THEO.
- 52:00Speaker 8: No, but like tattoos were the payamit of like the
- 52:05Speaker 8: barliest of men, they were quite poor, Like you had
- 52:09Speaker 8: to squint very hard to see that it was a
- 52:12Speaker 8: panther clothing into your forearm.
- 52:13Speaker 4: And that was literally I'm thinking of one fella. His
- 52:15Speaker 4: name was Mark, who was lovely feller from Cove, but
- 52:17Speaker 4: he used to call him three ton because he was
- 52:19Speaker 4: like a three ton digger.
- 52:20Speaker 3: Like this fella.
- 52:21Speaker 4: He was built never played rugby and I was crying shame.
- 52:24Speaker 4: He was built like an international prop you know what
- 52:26Speaker 4: I mean, all tank. He was all tank, this guy.
- 52:29Speaker 3: But he had.
- 52:31Speaker 4: He had the quintessential dagger, you know.
- 52:34Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like there was like six things you could get.
- 52:36Speaker 4: There was Mam Dad and the knuckles, and there was
- 52:39Speaker 4: the dagger, and then he got a panther one day
- 52:42Speaker 4: going around his forearm. The panther was one and it
- 52:45Speaker 4: was it was woeful, Like I mean, it was the
- 52:48Speaker 4: worst kind of cartoon, you know what I mean, because
- 52:50Speaker 4: the needles, the technology wasn't there, and like many things,
- 52:53Speaker 4: if the competition isn't savage, then standards don't have to
- 52:58Speaker 4: come up. Are just happy to get this. And of
- 53:01Speaker 4: course every single lad I was always in the building sits.
- 53:04Speaker 4: Every lad would come back from whether its fucking albofera
- 53:09Speaker 4: Benadorm or whatever, and they'd get to late night Tattoo Studio,
- 53:13Speaker 4: which is a brilliant idea, and they would invariably come
- 53:16Speaker 4: back from a Spanish island as.
- 53:18Speaker 3: A white Irish lad. It's that Maori tattoo.
- 53:24Speaker 1: This this, this I.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Want to talk about for for for for two fucking
- 53:28Speaker 2: hours as well.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 53:29Speaker 2: Yeah, like trends, they come on trends, they go yeah,
- 53:33Speaker 2: and what's fashionable now may not be fashionable again. It's
- 53:40Speaker 2: a passing fad. And that's okay when it's a pair
- 53:43Speaker 2: of jeans or a haircut or similar or same Tom,
- 53:48Speaker 2: not when it's a permanent etching on your body. And
- 53:51Speaker 2: for whatever reason, in the early two thousands, as we
- 53:53Speaker 2: were coming through, every young lad decided that what they
- 53:57Speaker 2: needed was tribal tattoos. Like and to be fair, at
- 54:01Speaker 2: the time, it was like, holy shit, you mean like
- 54:03Speaker 2: Blade has Fuck, yeah, I'll go a couple of them. Yeah,
- 54:07Speaker 2: as Tom says, there, these are tribal tattoos.
- 54:10Speaker 1: You're not in the tribe.
- 54:12Speaker 4: Yeah, Polynesian tattoos. Never have you even been to the
- 54:17Speaker 4: south Sea Islands or Oceanica, and you know, you have
- 54:21Speaker 4: never been anywhere, you know, I have no grasp of it.
- 54:24Speaker 4: Have never you know, prior to prior to Moana, have
- 54:28Speaker 4: probably never had an experience of it. Like, but lads
- 54:31Speaker 4: were getting these tribal tattoos and it. There was companies too,
- 54:35Speaker 4: like say, they were kind of I suppose they were
- 54:38Speaker 4: associated with sponsoring UFC fighters in the early day, like affliction.
- 54:42Speaker 3: Remember affliction? No, remember that?
- 54:45Speaker 4: And it was all tribal shit alright, all tribal ship
- 54:48Speaker 4: on their t shirts. And as we get that and
- 54:50Speaker 4: they get like the yin and yang symbol fucking put
- 54:52Speaker 4: in there as well, I think that's.
- 54:54Speaker 1: What it was.
- 54:55Speaker 2: It was like, you know, well, I don't want as
- 54:58Speaker 2: I was growing up by seeing like my dad had
- 55:01Speaker 2: like a you know, the swallow on your hand, yeah,
- 55:04Speaker 2: or or or you know, the dagger and the heart
- 55:06Speaker 2: and all that kind and I don't want any of that.
- 55:07Speaker 1: I don't want.
- 55:08Speaker 2: I don't want any of that. Okay, Well, how do
- 55:11Speaker 2: you feel about swirls?
- 55:12Speaker 1: Man? How do you feel about big sharp swirls?
- 55:14Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 55:15Speaker 2: Grand what is it?
- 55:17Speaker 1: Is it a music?
- 55:17Speaker 9: No?
- 55:18Speaker 1: Not, kid, it's not.
- 55:19Speaker 3: It's just like swirly bits.
- 55:20Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, fucking slap one on me.
- 55:21Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, let's good.
- 55:22Speaker 4: I remember I can remember wanting one on my tie. Yeah,
- 55:26Speaker 4: because I saw there was a Maori guy, like he
- 55:28Speaker 4: was a New Zealand guy. He was playing for a
- 55:30Speaker 4: club that I was fan of, and I remember thinking
- 55:32Speaker 4: that is the cool. But of course he had one.
- 55:35Speaker 4: He probably had it like the way they do those ones,
- 55:38Speaker 4: I think is the sharpened boar tooth on the end
- 55:40Speaker 4: of a little stick.
- 55:41Speaker 3: Yeah, and they tattoo you in front of the whole village.
- 55:43Speaker 2: He didn't get it on a stag weekend. He caught it,
- 55:46Speaker 2: you know, as part of the ceremony, their version of
- 55:49Speaker 2: the confirmation.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Here's here's our Lord and Savior Christ and I lay
- 55:53Speaker 2: down here while we hammered this shit int you for
- 55:54Speaker 2: an hour or two.
- 55:55Speaker 4: And you said ball snake in front of the whole village,
- 55:57Speaker 4: and we get to do it. But this was my
- 56:00Speaker 4: notion and put with no further thought into other than
- 56:04Speaker 4: my sixteen year old bring thinking that's cool.
- 56:07Speaker 3: That's cool.
- 56:07Speaker 9: Now.
- 56:07Speaker 4: By the time I got into my twenties, I was
- 56:09Speaker 4: kind of going, oh, none of this is everything I was.
- 56:12Speaker 4: I was able to recognize that what I thought was
- 56:14Speaker 4: cool last year, I don't think it's cool now. So
- 56:17Speaker 4: my fear was always what I think is cool Now.
- 56:20Speaker 4: I don't think I'm gonna think it's cool now. Had
- 56:23Speaker 4: I got a picture of say in nineteen ninety two Piggerio, Yes,
- 56:31Speaker 4: I still think that's cool, just saying I'm not sure
- 56:34Speaker 4: I wanted tattooed on me, but I still think it
- 56:37Speaker 4: is cool.
- 56:38Speaker 1: I was the same I was.
- 56:41Speaker 2: I was always, you know, intrigued by it, but I
- 56:43Speaker 2: could never I could never pick something that I could
- 56:45Speaker 2: stand over for the rest of my life.
- 56:46Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that seems to be the recurring team.
- 56:49Speaker 4: And I ask people what and then you see once
- 56:52Speaker 4: somebody gets they say, oh, well, it's addictive. Once you
- 56:54Speaker 4: get one, you've broken the seal now on your and
- 56:56Speaker 4: then you just don't give a fuck yet, you don't
- 56:58Speaker 4: give a fuck like you see. And it seems real
- 57:00Speaker 4: trend with some guys now getting nostaltic style, you know,
- 57:05Speaker 4: Californian sailor style.
- 57:07Speaker 1: Sailor Jerry styles styles.
- 57:08Speaker 4: You know they with the woman with the tits out
- 57:11Speaker 4: and put it.
- 57:12Speaker 1: I believe that's Sailor Jerry styles.
- 57:14Speaker 3: Is it Sailor Jerry?
- 57:15Speaker 1: Is that is correct? Me in there?
- 57:17Speaker 2: But that's the classic Popeye tattoos. Yeah, yeah, it ways
- 57:20Speaker 2: to go before we get to that, because we saw
- 57:21Speaker 2: a few other trends tom While the fellows were off
- 57:24Speaker 2: getting tribal tattoos left, right and center, the ladies it
- 57:27Speaker 2: must be said, Well, you know, I'm from a small
- 57:31Speaker 2: town in Ireland. There were no painted ladies in the
- 57:35Speaker 2: town all that all that terrible much, but if there was,
- 57:38Speaker 2: they might have like a dolphin. Yeah, I think dolphins
- 57:44Speaker 2: were big noise for ladies in the mid nineties.
- 57:46Speaker 3: I want to that someone butterflies. Butterflies, Yeah, yeah.
- 57:51Speaker 2: I wanted someone take that, and I want to say
- 57:54Speaker 2: it was Mark go on, correct me in the comments.
- 57:56Speaker 2: I want to say mark oone had like a dolphin tattoo.
- 57:58Speaker 2: And then every girl of that age that was a
- 58:01Speaker 2: take that fan were like buying dolphin tattoo for me
- 58:04Speaker 2: please as well. And then I'll get I'll get a butterfly,
- 58:07Speaker 2: you got a butterfly, I'll get like.
- 58:08Speaker 1: A musical note.
- 58:09Speaker 4: But then that that that transpired then to something different,
- 58:13Speaker 4: like you went into your Chinese symbols then as well
- 58:15Speaker 4: on top of that, you.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Know, Chinese symbols. That was another big thing that came in.
- 58:19Speaker 2: And again I want to say that, what is a
- 58:21Speaker 2: Chinese symbol other than a tribal tattoo for a lady.
- 58:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a square couple of yeah. But and
- 58:28Speaker 4: then as the tribal tattoos came across to women, then
- 58:31Speaker 4: it was they moved around the hip or down it
- 58:35Speaker 4: and onto the lower.
- 58:36Speaker 2: Back became a settling point for for the tram step like,
- 58:43Speaker 2: but who went nowhere else do I want this?
- 58:46Speaker 4: I don't want it on my upper shoulder, I don't
- 58:48Speaker 4: want it on my leg. Let's put on my the
- 58:52Speaker 4: base my base of Let's put around the base of
- 58:55Speaker 4: my spine a tribal tattoo.
- 58:58Speaker 2: You know, or the crest of Liverpool FC, whatever, depending
- 59:04Speaker 2: on where you were. But it just became like and again,
- 59:07Speaker 2: I'd love to study the.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Why it was.
- 59:10Speaker 2: I guess it was like, well, you know, at the
- 59:12Speaker 2: time we got to remember.
- 59:13Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.
- 59:14Speaker 2: Nowadays, you can tattoo your face and walk into a
- 59:16Speaker 2: job in the in the in the c suite and.
- 59:18Speaker 1: Nobody gives a buck.
- 59:19Speaker 2: But back in the back in the day, it was well,
- 59:22Speaker 2: you know, don't have it showing, you know, because if
- 59:25Speaker 2: you're working, if you're or a waitress and bar, you know,
- 59:29Speaker 2: door to door salesman, whatever it might be. People see tattoos.
- 59:33Speaker 2: They may not like that, and they may just not
- 59:35Speaker 2: fucking do any business with you. Again, this is thirty
- 59:37Speaker 2: years ago, folks.
- 59:39Speaker 1: So they were like, all right, okay, so nothing on
- 59:40Speaker 1: my arms, nothing on my hands.
- 59:43Speaker 2: I guess I don't want it on a belly because
- 59:47Speaker 2: you know, but yeah, but lower back, bang, tidy, beautiful.
- 59:51Speaker 1: I do it there.
- 59:52Speaker 3: I remember.
- 59:53Speaker 4: I always thought what it was a sacred thing to get.
- 59:56Speaker 4: If you were going to get one, it had to
- 59:58Speaker 4: be serious and you had to be all of it
- 59:59Speaker 4: in a You had to stand over this for you
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: have to stand over this. You have to get a
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: reputable person to do it, and all the rest of them.
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: I'll never forget. He was a chap He was doing
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: comedy at the time, and he asked me to pick
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: him up from It was actually near where Chris Kent
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: is from.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: I remember going, oh, no, I know the area, all right, yeah,
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: I can pick you up there.
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: And we were heading to some gig somewhere, let's say Waterford,
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: and I pulled into a house in estate and he
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: walks out the door of this house. He was like,
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: all right, thanks man and walks out, and I was like, oh,
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: this is not your house. It's like, oh no, I
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: was just getting a tattoo.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Yeah, in some lad's house, in his bedroom.
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: This guy had a tattoo gun and he got The
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: guy had gotten in collegiate style. You know, American football
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: numbers of eighty eight because that was the year he
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: was born, and you know you might forget that.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: And also code for Hyle Hitler.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: Yeah is it?
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: Is it?
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: Right?
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: But he look explaining that one.
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: No, he got eighty eight, not hate.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Yeah, but what's the eighth letter of the alphabet?
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: Oh?
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: Fuck?
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: You have to go all right, Okay, I don't think
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: he thought that far though, No, he didn't.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: And this this is why I'm never gonna touch to you,
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: because I can never think far enough ahead that you
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: gotta leaf, you gotta leaf your racist pastward?
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Wait no, what what?
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: What?
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: What?
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: But I think even then he goes, what do you think?
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: And he showed me And because the immediately spot a
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: mistake or the guy didn't on the piping on the
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: outside he where he should have infilled, he left the blank,
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: and where he left the blank he should in field,
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: and oh ah fuck, but he brushed it off, and
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: I'm like, Jesus Christ, that'd be like somebody taking a
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: toe off me in the way, you.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Know, and the wrong toe off as well.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, what the fuck?
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: How are you just gonna sit there not seeding like?
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: But he didn't, and I remember thinking, all right, because
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: he's had a few already shite ones also and it
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: is what it is now and that's what it is,
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: you know. So and but it always struck me that
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: it was like, well, are you going to be Not
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: that I care that I'm judge, but you're gonna be
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: judged incorrectly, do you know what I mean? So, say
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: you got one when you're really into the spice giruns
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: or something and you're like whatever, I'm going to get that,
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: or Oasis and you want to get that, and now
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: you don't really like him anymore. And the first thing
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: somebody sees on your knee, as alwaysis you're like.
- 1:02:05Speaker 7: Now or the Lost profits Tom Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
- 1:02:13Speaker 7: you're like, oh ship, you can Gary glitter on your
- 1:02:16Speaker 7: yeah yeah.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Fuck Jimmy, jim fixed it for me, yea.
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: So so so, although I do have to tell you iself.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: Probably one of the greatest tattoos ever. A guy got
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: a he got a cartoon of a sausage of bologney
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: on his leg, but it was below his knee. I
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: just went, all right, all day long, that's a joke forever,
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: and I can totally get on.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: That's what I would get.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: I think I would get committed to the bit at that.
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: But and it will.
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: Never feel it's a great bit. It's a blowney below
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: the knee. Yes, all day long. I'm like, all right, now,
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: that's maybe possibly one.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: I could get.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: So commarre to me, tom right.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: So we've talked about when we were younger gentlemen, were
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: some dubious trends that many ran a foul of, and
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: there were young ladies got in on the act as well.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: They started to get a, you know, way more tattoos
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: than they otherwise would have done. And at some stage
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: in the last fifteen years or so, all of a sudden,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: it's like, hey, do you know the way tattoos are
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: kind of and they're kind of kind of fucking not
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: What if they were masterpieces? What if they were just
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: like absolutely crisp crystal clear, you could actually tell exactly.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: What it was a print quality drawings.
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: And I think we're probably I mean the notion of
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: an artist doing and I suppose is nice ive. You know,
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: you're into the creators other things. But if you want
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: a super realistic, awesome thing, you can't tell me right
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: now that there isn't an Ai tattoo machine somewhere in
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: Japan that you can stick your fucking arm in, you know,
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: and just does it because they're has to be that
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: level of sophistication, because they've jumped so quick. Now, don't
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: get me wrong, there's still lads like post Malone, who,
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: as he was described brilliantly on a kil tony by
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: a lad one time, because post Malone, you look like
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: an unemployed crocodile hunter, which I thought was a fucking
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: perfect description of him. He looks like a sack of
- 1:04:18Speaker 4: ship who fell on some crayons, like terrible things drawn
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: on his face. But he's get out of jail cardis
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: he's got enough money to get really high end laser
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: to get it off when he wants to know, should
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: the day come.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: I do remember Frankie Boyle picking out some lad in
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: the audience going like, look at you, and all the tattoos.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: You look like the notebook I keep beside the phone.
- 1:04:41Speaker 10: Yeah, but Tom, I I cannot fathom what the hell
- 1:04:44Speaker 10: happened in this And it couldn't be that we just
- 1:04:46Speaker 10: got a bunch of fucking Latvians in in the mid
- 1:04:48Speaker 10: in the mid two thousands, and they are all excellent
- 1:04:51Speaker 10: tattoo artists.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: That can't be the case.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: I kind of is a bitcher.
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: You tapped into something there which I noted before, is
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: that as things get more worldwide, it be noting on
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: somebody to like we would have been the first of
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: our kind. I suppose in two thousand and one start
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: going doing the J one and going to America. But
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: then when you look into it, so many lads go
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: to America, you know what I mean, go to now.
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: They're going to Hawaii, They're going to Japan. They're going
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: to these places where incredible artists are now tattooing people well,
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: and like anything, our rise and Tide and all the
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: rest of it. When standards come up, it's not acceptable
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: now to be doing the panther down the arm anymore,
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: you know, it's really fucking not. You've seen lads like
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: you know, surely Mike Tyson you know, went off and
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: got the fucking tribal like. He was the king of
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: shit tattoos at the time, getting his face tone with
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: a tribal tattoo like and not getting a lasered off
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: because it's like, well it is, but it is, I suppose.
- 1:05:48Speaker 4: But you're in a place now where And I'm fascinated
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: by him. And I remember going to convention a couple
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: of years ago because I was in Dublin and I
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: had a pass because I knew one of the guys
- 1:06:00Speaker 4: was tattooing in there, and I remember he wanted to.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: I never thought about tattoo artists like, I just thought
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: you were born a brilliant artist.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: He wasn't.
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: He had to train at drawing. Yeah, I never he
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: thought about it like that before. I was like, Jesus,
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: what an uphill fucking struggled to do. But the same
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: guy's madgineto tattoos his face and nick and head tattoos
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: and everything like that.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: So but it was it was amazing to see.
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: They had this thing where they hung a curtain down
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: the middle of a guy and he sat on a
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: chair and the description was to draw an alternate body
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: organ and two artists incredible artists on either side of
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: the curtain got to draw what they tattooers man tattooed
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: this guy in front of for reals both but both
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: both people, You and I would probably let them without
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: even thinking because they were that good. Like one guy
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: did full on engine do you know what I mean?
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: On one side the other guy did I think he did,
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: or like he did much more realistic but incredible. The
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: way they stitched and then they took away the curtain
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: and stitched together both of them. It was incredible what
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: they did. But you're looking going, Okay, that is a
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: fucking masterpiece. Now fuck it too, at the same time
- 1:07:11Speaker 4: because you look down and go.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: Yes, just I suppose it's all right.
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: But I think, I think when it gets to a
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: certain point for a lot of people, Like there's a
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: guy playing rugby for Ireland called Mackanson and he is
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: a hilariously funny cunt, and he he made a vow
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: that if he got to pick picked on the World
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: Cup team or whatever, he would within one of the
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: six nations, he would get the coach's face tattooed on
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: his arms. And the coach is notably hard man who
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: doesn't have any tattoos, and he got a tattoo of
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: a really it looks shite like and he sent it
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: to him and apparently he left him. He left the
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: scene with two blue ticks and didn't reply for a
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: day and a half. And he's he's notably a scary
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: human like. He says, it was the worst team I have.
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: It was the worst decision of my life. But since then,
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: I've got a load of ship tattoos since.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: And it's just throw it on the pile.
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: But it's it's it fits his personality. He's a goofy,
- 1:08:04Speaker 4: funny guess cunt, you know what I mean? Where he's
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: got these and it's all I should look at. I
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: got a fucking missile down my fucking forearm, and I've
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: got a fucking fish over this one and picture of
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: me coach on me arse like.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: So let me let me let me ask you a
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: question for a finish to this bit, Tom, right, we
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: started coming in by saying that neither of us had
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: any tattoos. You know, the theory is good right now,
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: And I'm sure that there's some listeners to the Tommentarry
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Show who actually might be tattoo artists that could give
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: us a bit of a discount, because that's another thing. Tom,
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: This shit ain't cheap.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: I know it's not cheap. Arms like it's anyway.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: So if you were going to get something tattooed on
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: your good self there, buddy, what would it be?
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: And I'll give you mine.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: I honestly, I think far the crack. And because it's
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: been around for so long, I genuinely think I'll probably
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: get the Tom and.
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: Jerry show logo. No, there's no joke.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: That's a pretty good.
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's been it's it's been in our lives
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: for so long that we probably go. It would make
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: sense to me to get it done because there's like
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: what else I'm not going to get.
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: A team because that's just like a no guy.
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: He would be actually played for a monster and got
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: drunk and got his full number, full size number tattooed
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: on his back.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: He went on to be a very successful singer.
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: Barry Murphy, he showed me one day, went Jesus And
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: it was at the time had he got it done
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: like collegiate style, like it normally is on the back
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: of a jersey. But at the time they were going
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: through a mid two thousand space where all the numbers
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: on their jerseys were kind of done in spiky tribal style.
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: Now looks like at one and three in red.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: It's not good. It's in it.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: It in't it?
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: The Tom and Jerry logo, of course, there by the wonderful.
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: Could he tattoo me? If I got rob a tattooing?
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: Could he tattoo me?
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: I wonder? I don't see why not give it a go?
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: I'll tell you want to go for myself, Tom for
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: a finish. And it's the kind of thing that I
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: always seen people with it. And I'll be like, why
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: would you need that? You know the way people would
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: say tattooed their their kids birthdays and things like this
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: on themselves, Like now, why would you need that?
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: Face towards enemy? You get face towards enemy, and you're fuck.
- 1:10:16Speaker 4: No.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: I as I roll into my mid forties and the
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: memory gets starting to get fucking the memory is full.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Having my children's birthday is tattooed on me might not
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: be the fucking worst thing I could have. And I'll
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: tell you what else I put it on there? Throw
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: on wedding anniversaries and me mom's birthday.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: Tom wilerrat why don't you tattoo tattoo.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: On me, like when the NCT is due, because if
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: you ask me any of that ship rolling, Yeah, when's
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: the transport?
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: Fucking hang on?
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: Do you know what we'll do? You know we'll do.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: I can start this rat we can get I create
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: a link tree, right, a link tree, and basically it's
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: just a landing page and you can put in a
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: whole list of all those things you need linked to
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: Google cannger, and we'll create a QR code that we
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: can get tattooed somewhere on you and you can just
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: put the phone on it whenever you need it and
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: it'll have all that shit in there.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: And QR code is cool. That'd be a code is
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: cool time. But like what happens is if my age
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: and starts a saga wee but and all of a sudden,
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: that QR code sends me to a fucking Lost Profits
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: fan club website.
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a It's never too late for us anyway,
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: jar because the out lad who would be unquestionably holy man,
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: not the tattoo on yourself.
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: It's against God, but maybe it is. I don't know,
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: but he.
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: He must have been sixty five sixty seven, maybe decided
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: gone to fuck for the crack and he got a
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: tattoo on his forearm and it was the out one's name,
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: because you know what, it was maybe time to make
- 1:11:47Speaker 4: it a serious goal things.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: I suppose that's yeah here.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: I think that was her joke because she was like,
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: oh yeh, Jesus Christ, what is he doing.
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: She was like, you're too old for a mid like crisis.
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: But I suppose in one way, it's nice to you're
- 1:12:00Speaker 4: committed to the situation now at.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Least yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: The only other funny thing that he could get in
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: his arm there if you say, ah, fuck it go on, yeah,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: tattoo that on.
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: I like that. Maybe a phrase, a phrase to use
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: it like this.
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: I saw a sign the other day, beautifully done sign,
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: and it was in I thought it was in a
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: movie or TV show and it was really nicely done
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: and oak and everyone you're looking at it going, oh,
- 1:12:21Speaker 4: that's a nice looking sign with a nice post and
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: everything on it, and when you look closely at it said,
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: this sign means absolutely nothing at all.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: And I like that.
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: It's like, I'd like to get that keep walking.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: Well came here if ever we needed to hear from
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: the Tom and Jerry Show audience about tattooings and their
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: and their opinions and indeed the amount of them that
