- 6:40Speaker 2: now and then, and every now and then it comes
- 6:42Speaker 2: to us, baby. We got to bring it out to
- 6:44Speaker 2: the world. We got to talk about the big story
- 6:46Speaker 2: of the week. We got to start this show with
- 6:48Speaker 2: segment number one, the weekly what have you. This is
- 6:52Speaker 2: a very complicated case, mad, You know, a lot of
- 6:54Speaker 2: a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,
- 6:56Speaker 2: and uh, a lot of strands to keep in my head.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Man. Whenever I hear current affairs, did you ever see
- 7:04Speaker 1: Gary Larson's fars out of a gallery? You know the
- 7:07Speaker 1: way he does like wordplay with pictures and stuff like,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you know, like there's a fark on stage and just
- 7:12Speaker 1: like yeaheah, yeah, take my wife works. And it's when
- 7:16Speaker 1: I hear current affairs, I always imagine like, I'm, you know,
- 7:19Speaker 1: a married current cheating with another current.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Yeah two, Sultana's right.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I'm glad you're on my Yeah, you're absolutely.
- 7:29Speaker 2: There's the reason the reason this isn't the Tom and
- 7:31Speaker 2: Finton podcast. You know what I mean, we fucking gel baby.
- 7:36Speaker 1: So you can tamor anybody who tuned in for you know,
- 7:38Speaker 1: maybe this on the in the hashtags or whatever. They're like, oh,
- 7:41Speaker 1: this is a political podcast right up my stream, maybe
- 7:43Speaker 1: Dave McWilliams Style's stuff, and you're tuning in those two
- 7:46Speaker 1: talking about Raisins and Sultana's right.
- 7:49Speaker 2: This is you know, we're not a political podcast, although
- 7:52Speaker 2: I will say Tom this week for the Weekly what
- 7:54Speaker 2: have you, and indeed, spoiler layer going forward for the
- 7:56Speaker 2: rest of the show, this might be about as political
- 7:59Speaker 2: as we've ever got because we're in a very political
- 8:01Speaker 2: climate at the minute. As we record tonight on Monday,
- 8:07Speaker 2: Budget twenty twenty six is about to kick off tomorrow,
- 8:10Speaker 2: and that is that is the That is the Weekly
- 8:13Speaker 2: what have you of this week, ladies and gentlemen. It
- 8:15Speaker 2: is the budget is landing tomorrow, which I always it
- 8:18Speaker 2: always strikes fear in my heart, Tom since I was wee,
- 8:22Speaker 2: because I remember when I was like little did canceled
- 8:26Speaker 2: the den on budget Day?
- 8:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the biggest effect for the longest time.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I never bothered my.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Whole no, because it wasn't it was you know.
- 8:35Speaker 1: It's like shouting at the rain.
- 8:37Speaker 2: It's like, all right, I don't know what. Yeah, things
- 8:40Speaker 2: go up, things go down, I don't know. But then,
- 8:41Speaker 2: of course, as life rolls on, it became more about missing.
- 8:45Speaker 2: It became less about oh, I'm missing the turtles for
- 8:47Speaker 2: this shit, and more, oh, okay, well, I guess I
- 8:50Speaker 2: will never financially recover from this.
- 8:53Speaker 1: In the market words of Joe exactly.
- 8:58Speaker 2: But it is as I as we record it, we
- 9:00Speaker 2: don't know what they're going to say tomorrow, although like
- 9:04Speaker 2: we have a fair idea tom because here's I thought
- 9:06Speaker 2: these things were like shrouded in secrecy. It's fairly common
- 9:09Speaker 2: knowledge what's given in this budget.
- 9:11Speaker 1: It would seem there was something. There was definitely a
- 9:12Speaker 1: spy in the camp. It would seem much like you know,
- 9:15Speaker 1: it's sports where they have the team picked the day
- 9:17Speaker 1: before and they're like, how did they find out?
- 9:19Speaker 2: It's well, you're giving it away.
- 9:21Speaker 1: But some of them things like I know the agriculture
- 9:24Speaker 1: one was settled, that's right, the farmers, and a lot
- 9:26Speaker 1: of a lot of it is like well and this
- 9:28Speaker 1: is this is.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Long, just long, just stating and it's gonna happen tomorrow,
- 9:34Speaker 2: so on and so forth. You know what I'm going
- 9:36Speaker 2: to tell you something tells me, Tom that the rich
- 9:38Speaker 2: people in this country are going to get richer and
- 9:40Speaker 2: the poor people are going to.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Be and diesel and booze always goes up, It always
- 9:46Speaker 1: goes up.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you it's.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Oh, you're right, the rich like listen, you know what
- 9:53Speaker 1: you know, we know that it works.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Okay, so so, but hey, prove us wrong. Maybe by
- 9:58Speaker 2: the time this podcast lands in your news feeds on
- 10:01Speaker 2: toursday morning, we will be eating humble pie.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Yeah, doubt doubt.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Sometimes me I'll be eating humble pie and be paying
- 10:10Speaker 2: quite a lot of money for.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, I mean yeah, And we ain't getting into
- 10:15Speaker 1: all the things they're squandering money on. But we're going
- 10:17Speaker 1: to take a slightly different view of it in that year.
- 10:21Speaker 1: It is what it is. Let's there's no point in
- 10:23Speaker 1: fucking gribbing about it, much like as a shout at
- 10:25Speaker 1: the fucking rain. We're going to take a look at
- 10:29Speaker 1: what we if we could with a magic wand and
- 10:32Speaker 1: what we would possibly x or hike in the way
- 10:35Speaker 1: of the taxation or social care things that would be
- 10:39Speaker 1: given out to.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Honestly, Tom, it's it's it's it's it's the way A
- 10:44Speaker 2: lot of things should be. Let Tom and Jerry at
- 10:46Speaker 2: it for the oncet I.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I honestly, I genuinely think a hell of a lot
- 10:52Speaker 1: of people would be behind it. They go, you know what,
- 10:53Speaker 1: fuck it? You can you can hang your shirt on
- 10:56Speaker 1: those two lets, that's all I know. You can hang
- 10:58Speaker 1: your hat in those two leads.
- 11:00Speaker 2: It's it's the It's the Tom and Jerry Budget twenty
- 11:02Speaker 2: twenty six. Ladies and gentlemen. A lot of this is
- 11:06Speaker 2: quite unworkable.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Oh listen, I have one at the top that is
- 11:11Speaker 1: absolutely impossible to work. But well let's let's let's let's
- 11:15Speaker 1: let's let's let's hear.
- 11:15Speaker 2: What you got buddy. We we came up with a
- 11:17Speaker 2: couple of these over the course of the day. I
- 11:21Speaker 2: haven't heard Toms, he hasn't heard mine, listen.
- 11:24Speaker 1: So first up for me. I obviously it's all about
- 11:28Speaker 1: money and everything else. But you know, sometimes there are
- 11:30Speaker 1: new laws and new regulations implied and things like that.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And during a budget that I suppose would pertain to
- 11:36Speaker 1: different different spending, put different ways, but built into the budget,
- 11:40Speaker 1: I would like to see a new reform in justice
- 11:46Speaker 1: and and that would be for any person caught by
- 11:52Speaker 1: either one or more person views it sees it witnesses it.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Where a member of the public steps through a way
- 12:00Speaker 1: that you were following through and they come to it
- 12:03Speaker 1: grinding stop to check their phone, forcing everybody else to
- 12:07Speaker 1: walk into the fucking back of them without stepping to
- 12:10Speaker 1: the side. That has to be punishable by Okay, if
- 12:13Speaker 1: it's monetary fair enough, it has to be fee I
- 12:16Speaker 1: personally would think justice should be allowed to with that
- 12:19Speaker 1: there and then by having a size ten hammered up
- 12:23Speaker 1: your fucking hole.
- 12:26Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I'll tell you a good way, a
- 12:27Speaker 2: good way of implementing that. Tom we want like we
- 12:32Speaker 2: want like a an M fifty toll bridge system. Yeah, okay,
- 12:36Speaker 2: whereby a toll is applied to you going through a door,
- 12:40Speaker 2: but you can avoid this toll by moving swiftly through.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Oh, now you're talking. That's Jesus christol. This is what
- 12:48Speaker 1: you call spitball and round table. We've worked it out
- 12:51Speaker 1: in two moves.
- 12:52Speaker 2: We've worked out so if you move through it at
- 12:54Speaker 2: pace as a normal natural pace, then okay, you don't
- 12:56Speaker 2: get charged. But if you loiter in a doorway whatsoever
- 13:00Speaker 2: for two to three seconds, shall we say Yeah, Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 2: let's not be able tost. Some people just can't handle doors. Yeah,
- 13:07Speaker 2: two to three seconds should get you through any fucking
- 13:09Speaker 2: natural door in this world. If not, bo eurofine, one
- 13:16Speaker 2: hundred percent, one hundred percent. I agree with you with
- 13:19Speaker 2: every subsequent defense, and I think we could.
- 13:22Speaker 1: We could, We could definitely. I think if there's one
- 13:25Speaker 1: man that's going to implement this for us, at least
- 13:27Speaker 1: on a tester basis, would be Michael O'Leary. He's such
- 13:31Speaker 1: a ballocks. He would give it. He'd give it a goal,
- 13:34Speaker 1: he'd give it a goal where he'd put and then
- 13:36Speaker 1: he'd do it for us any place in a round
- 13:39Speaker 1: like the boarding the boarding areas in Dublin Airport, just
- 13:44Speaker 1: exactly as Jerry said. You're all good in the hood
- 13:46Speaker 1: if you stroll through, ye, but you dander me and
- 13:51Speaker 1: light or fuck around in any which way in the
- 13:54Speaker 1: in proceeding immediately after, or even worse again, in the
- 14:00Speaker 1: actual doorframe you stand there checking your phone or just
- 14:03Speaker 1: fucking scratching your for your wallet or something like that.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Coming out of the fucking way at the road.
- 14:08Speaker 2: We're gonna call it to get out the road tax
- 14:10Speaker 2: I like that.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I like this, get out the fucking road tax. Yes,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I love that. I love that.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it might for you Tom here now that
- 14:17Speaker 2: that that you might might work in Tannem with this,
- 14:21Speaker 2: I think a lot of a lot of our new
- 14:23Speaker 2: tax incentives here, Tom, will just aid the general fabric
- 14:27Speaker 2: of society, the coming and going over, and these are
- 14:30Speaker 2: a lot of these will bring about reforms with things
- 14:34Speaker 2: that we have lost down through the years. I want
- 14:37Speaker 2: to see a tax incentive for people to abandon smartphones
- 14:43Speaker 2: in favor of old knockia thirty three times. Oh I
- 14:46Speaker 2: like that. Okay, great, great as they call it. I
- 14:51Speaker 2: want like zero percent that on an old non smartphone.
- 14:57Speaker 1: That fucking brilliant free.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Text message and calls from that device for whoms whoever
- 15:03Speaker 2: should use it.
- 15:04Speaker 1: So from what phone back? Are we allowing them a BlackBerry?
- 15:06Speaker 2: Well, I'm talking about a touch button phone, not a
- 15:10Speaker 2: touchscreen phone. A touch button phone that we can make
- 15:12Speaker 2: and receive calls, write, send and receive text messages.
- 15:17Speaker 1: No cameras, no, no, no, no no. So this is
- 15:21Speaker 1: everything you need to stay in touch with the wide
- 15:23Speaker 1: early world around you while in and out on the day.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Maybe I might allow an email on it, Tom, Okay, Mmmm.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Go home for that, go to work for that, exactly,
- 15:34Speaker 2: go home for that. All right. So it takes the
- 15:37Speaker 2: smartphone out of your hand during the day because I
- 15:40Speaker 2: think it's just polluting your fucking brain. I'm sorry, be
- 15:43Speaker 2: alone with your thoughts every now and then. This thing
- 15:46Speaker 2: does not play music. This thing does not play games.
- 15:48Speaker 2: So number one, you're not going to be lighter than indoors,
- 15:50Speaker 2: as much as one would hope. Number two, you're not
- 15:53Speaker 2: going to be playing podcasts out loud on the train.
- 15:57Speaker 2: We love every fucking single listener of the Tom and
- 15:59Speaker 2: Jay Show, but I swear to God, if you're listening
- 16:02Speaker 2: to this podcast on a train out loud, out loud,
- 16:06Speaker 2: Yeah good, good saved, Yeah, out loud. If you listening
- 16:08Speaker 2: to this without headphones on the train, we disavowe.

- 16:15Speaker 1: Tama Jerry.
- 16:16Speaker 2: But I want it. I want it, I want it,
- 16:18Speaker 2: and nobody will do that unless they're paid to do it.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I'm going to give you free use of a non smartphone,
- 16:25Speaker 2: zero percent on the purchase of it, and free use
- 16:28Speaker 2: of it for life if you just swap back what
- 16:34Speaker 2: it was fifteen years ago, baby, and the amazing thing
- 16:36Speaker 2: is like with the sixty two ten, remember the Goldie one.
- 16:38Speaker 2: It is a kind of a long shark shaped one.
- 16:41Speaker 2: I swear to God that think get a reception down
- 16:45Speaker 2: down like three meters into an manhole. It could still
- 16:47Speaker 2: get a reception like the battery. The battery would last
- 16:50Speaker 2: from Monday to Of all the phones that I've ever
- 16:54Speaker 2: seen in my life, can you imagine the amounted them
- 16:56Speaker 2: that hospitals had to dig out of our us?
- 17:01Speaker 1: Do you know what? It did? Have a bit of
- 17:02Speaker 1: a felic go about it?
- 17:03Speaker 2: All right?
- 17:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I never he thought about it like that. But yeah,
- 17:07Speaker 1: now did you mention?
- 17:09Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 17:10Speaker 1: I dropped I tell you one thing, and they were
- 17:12Speaker 1: a tough one too. I dropped it off. It fell
- 17:14Speaker 1: out of the top pocket. Uh maybe two floors up
- 17:17Speaker 1: and j C B load all drove over and it
- 17:20Speaker 1: was still working with it. Oh yeah, crack back, cracked
- 17:22Speaker 1: fro front didn't make a difference. It struggled on for
- 17:25Speaker 1: another six months and not a bother to it.
- 17:27Speaker 2: And that was the JCB.
- 17:28Speaker 1: How was the phone?
- 17:31Speaker 2: What else have you got for me?
- 17:32Speaker 1: I this I'm gonna kick it into into actual things
- 17:36Speaker 1: that maybe this is just an honorary shout that finally,
- 17:40Speaker 1: for once, could we maybe maybe so that we could
- 17:45Speaker 1: be up there with jugglers and fucking people that dance
- 17:48Speaker 1: with bears, could stand up comedy be finely recognized as
- 17:51Speaker 1: a fucking art form. He absolute bastards. I know we're
- 17:53Speaker 1: the merchants of free speech and that's what you've writened of,
- 17:56Speaker 1: but there.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Is I know it's a political segment, but we're not
- 17:58Speaker 2: a political podcast. There this is an actual thing.
- 18:01Speaker 1: I know, I know it's an actual thing. It's an
- 18:03Speaker 1: actual thing, and I didn't mean to put it, but
- 18:05Speaker 1: it was like Jesus wept Christ Christ the world when
- 18:09Speaker 1: you're because they have an art an artist's incentive scheme,
- 18:12Speaker 1: oh way would I ever win the lottery to be
- 18:15Speaker 1: on it or anything like that. But at the same
- 18:17Speaker 1: time you're like, wells, humbody, could do you know that
- 18:20Speaker 1: kind of way? Like it would at the very least,
- 18:23Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it doesn't have to be
- 18:25Speaker 1: text like a plumber like you could.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Well, I mean, is it too?
- 18:29Speaker 1: You know? At the same time, you go, come on,
- 18:31Speaker 1: come on, if it's not art, what is it like?
- 18:33Speaker 2: You know what I mean, I know it's not art,
- 18:35Speaker 2: what is it like?
- 18:37Speaker 1: What is it. That's the I mean, people you can
- 18:39Speaker 1: poop out and go, i know, fly for like you
- 18:42Speaker 1: have you fucking don't you you haven't seen stand up
- 18:45Speaker 1: if you ain't, if you haven't seen it. But my
- 18:48Speaker 1: argument being is like, well, if it isn't art, what
- 18:50Speaker 1: is it? But on the list, if you want to
- 18:52Speaker 1: go look at the qualub what qualifies as a juggler,
- 18:55Speaker 1: a clown?
- 18:57Speaker 2: How are we not clowns?
- 18:59Speaker 1: An architect? An architect? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- 19:05Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And there's a rake commandent. You're like, what
- 19:08Speaker 1: but they're all let's say they all have merrier. To
- 19:11Speaker 1: be honest, you would assume stand up comedy and let's
- 19:15Speaker 1: you know, in proven schedules. Yeah, you know, let him
- 19:18Speaker 1: in there. Let him in there. If they're letting s
- 19:20Speaker 1: in there, let him in there. I do believe it
- 19:23Speaker 1: is time to find it. And I want to give
- 19:25Speaker 1: an honorable shout out to Elish McCart. She's a good
- 19:28Speaker 1: stand up. She has been postioned like she she knows
- 19:31Speaker 1: her stuff because she's obviously involved law. She has you know,
- 19:36Speaker 1: she's been petitioned. This for age has got a huge
- 19:39Speaker 1: amount of signatures and stuff like that. Still still not
- 19:42Speaker 1: being given anything. I had at once mentioned I was.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I rescued. I rescued Artie from being shamed. One time, Jerry,
- 19:50Speaker 1: I was a politician, had come to a gig of
- 19:54Speaker 1: mine in care and he came up to me afterwards
- 19:57Speaker 1: as I'm winding up the cables and whatnot, you know
- 19:59Speaker 1: what I mean, the classy side of it, and he's
- 20:02Speaker 1: just this, this, this is fucking brilliant. I've never this this.
- 20:06Speaker 1: This has to be a thing that's said, you're wasting
- 20:10Speaker 1: your time. Glad you enjoyed your night, Go have a drink.
- 20:13Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, no, no no, I'm going
- 20:15Speaker 1: to petition, he says in the IRAQS, I'm going to
- 20:17Speaker 1: petition the Minister of Arts to qualify this so you
- 20:21Speaker 1: can There has to be something to stand up comedy
- 20:24Speaker 1: throughout the country. And I said, I want to see
- 20:26Speaker 1: your eyes when you say that to her, because I
- 20:28Speaker 1: will promise you, if you've ever been turned down by
- 20:29Speaker 1: a woman to go on a date, that's what the
- 20:32Speaker 1: look is going to look like. And I walked into
- 20:34Speaker 1: Do the Lately warm up the following Friday, and the
- 20:37Speaker 1: IRACTA support had been our Iracta's TV had been on
- 20:40Speaker 1: for like five hours, Rinse and ORTI for like spending
- 20:42Speaker 1: five grand of flip flops and stuff like that. They're
- 20:44Speaker 1: all sitting in the green room going for fox sake,
- 20:47Speaker 1: and then it just just before I walked in, he goes, sorry,
- 20:51Speaker 1: can I break this? Politician goes sorry, can I break
- 20:53Speaker 1: the Trendford Evening and just actually lighting the mood of
- 20:55Speaker 1: small But I'd like to mention a guy called Tomo Man,
- 20:57Speaker 1: he's a comedian, and you mentioned the whole thing. I went,
- 21:00Speaker 1: and we really need to look in to bring a
- 21:02Speaker 1: stand up to the rural society, rural society and stuff.
- 21:04Speaker 1: And you could literally exactly what I said. You know
- 21:06Speaker 1: that blinking look that you'll get from somebody that isn't
- 21:09Speaker 1: going on the date with you but they don't want
- 21:11Speaker 1: to break your heart. She kind of went, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 21:14Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Should we have your email there anyway? Minister,
- 21:18Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And there was a whole pile of fucking no.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Well, listen, that is the Tom and Jerry budget for
- 21:28Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. A couple of a couple of little
- 21:30Speaker 2: nuggets in there that if they want to throw them
- 21:32Speaker 2: in by all means, I mean that team show up
- 21:35Speaker 2: in the budget tomorrow, Tom, maybe don't vote for this
- 21:38Speaker 2: share or bastards again.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I yeah, And I would imagine if they gave us
- 21:43Speaker 1: the option to run that template that we just ran
- 21:46Speaker 1: over just two particular items there, I think we probably
- 21:50Speaker 1: all of them start looking quite like what you I mean,
- 21:52Speaker 1: why what you people? Be happy? I reckon, happier will
- 21:56Speaker 1: be your budget if they let us rip at all
- 21:58Speaker 1: of it.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's what we could do. That's that's
- 22:01Speaker 2: what we could do on like twelve minutes on a
- 22:04Speaker 2: podcast segment, like you know, think, oh, we could do
- 22:06Speaker 2: what the fucking if we were president? Tom?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Oh my god?
- 22:10Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, speaking of which, by the way, now, speaking
- 22:13Speaker 2: speaking of that lofty role, I think at the time
- 22:16Speaker 2: to move on to the segment two of the show, Tom,
- 22:19Speaker 2: we got to talk about this lad. Yeah. And then
- 22:26Speaker 2: there were there were there were people that feared that
- 22:30Speaker 2: this would be a boring presidential election that we were
- 22:33Speaker 2: heading into. Tom. There was a lot of curious people
- 22:40Speaker 2: throwing their hat in the ring there. A couple of
- 22:41Speaker 2: weeks ago we had the McGregor throwing his hat in
- 22:43Speaker 2: the ring Shared and little fucking Too has thrown his
- 22:46Speaker 2: hat in the ring, and it was like, what is this,
- 22:48Speaker 2: what is this going to look like? This is this
- 22:51Speaker 2: is going to be like a couple of years ago
- 22:52Speaker 2: when it was Martin McInnis and all the lads from
- 22:56Speaker 2: Dragons Dragons then and there was like eight lads up
- 22:59Speaker 2: on the day set the fucking debates, and then it
- 23:02Speaker 2: filtered down the president'sential election filtered down to Jim Gavin
- 23:06Speaker 2: head Their Humphreys and Catherine Conney, and everyone was like,
- 23:10Speaker 2: that's kind of born now at this stage. And Jim
- 23:12Speaker 2: Gavin said.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Because you know what, like there's something in like there's media.
- 23:20Speaker 1: It makes money right as you well know, media makes
- 23:23Speaker 1: money by talking, and there's like there'll be no interest
- 23:26Speaker 1: in it if you had three or four perfect candidates,
- 23:29Speaker 1: three or four more Michael D. Higgins, do you know
- 23:32Speaker 1: what I mean?
- 23:33Speaker 2: No good even at this they've got like three people that,
- 23:36Speaker 2: with respect to their friends in the media, they're doing
- 23:40Speaker 2: their best to dig up dirt. And that's what I mean,
- 23:44Speaker 2: precious little. And it's just like, well, I suppose this person,
- 23:48Speaker 2: uh had no tax in their car.
- 23:52Speaker 1: They don't. You see, they don't have the budget to
- 23:55Speaker 1: bring in the real murderers. Row flicks quality that Americas right, No, exactly,
- 24:04Speaker 1: I've no doubt that Kamala Harris and fucking Trump are
- 24:09Speaker 1: actually two boring fuckers, do you know what I mean?
- 24:13Speaker 1: But brilliantly put together and editor and laid down a road,
- 24:18Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 24:18Speaker 2: Unashamed interviewers were WrestleMania, baby put the that's all it is.
- 24:23Speaker 1: But we don't have that kind of budget. And also
- 24:26Speaker 1: the presidential role in Ireland kind of is nothing.
- 24:32Speaker 2: In respect. Get the handshake and roll.
- 24:34Speaker 1: You're standing behind the Lee McCarty and Sam maguire, well
- 24:38Speaker 1: not September anymore, in July for the the All Ireland
- 24:42Speaker 1: and then you shake hands with the rugby players and
- 24:44Speaker 1: I suppose you judge a few poetry competitions after.
- 24:47Speaker 2: That, and the Gashka Children's Award whatever it might be.
- 24:50Speaker 1: We were looking and they were trying to rinse in
- 24:53Speaker 1: on everybody. Want what's the name Katine Connolly? She she
- 24:59Speaker 1: I mean in a bit of drama there. She did
- 25:01Speaker 1: have a provo on the books. It would seem she
- 25:05Speaker 1: was going around right, okay, the other one then Humphreys,
- 25:11Speaker 1: They were cribbin Is it gonna be all right that
- 25:13Speaker 1: your husband's an Orange man.
- 25:14Speaker 2: She's like, never mind, be do you want a United
- 25:18Speaker 2: Ireland have a orange man in the inn one way
- 25:22Speaker 2: or another.
- 25:22Speaker 1: If you're gonna have a tangle Twister, you're gonna have
- 25:24Speaker 1: a few colors in there.
- 25:25Speaker 2: But then this Jim Gavin was just.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Like the Golden Boy, like you know, Job Wyatt popping along,
- 25:34Speaker 1: do you know? I mean they did absolutely Bernie Sanders,
- 25:36Speaker 1: fucking Billy Billy wat's his name from Cork to slip
- 25:40Speaker 1: this guy in because Billy Keller. They absolutely Bernie Sanders.
- 25:44Speaker 1: And then they brought this guy in. They were like,
- 25:46Speaker 1: this guy, bring in some votes. He's won some All
- 25:49Speaker 1: Irelands and ship and he sounds like him. Come on,
- 25:52Speaker 1: he says, not for he's a man. Yeah, yeah, they
- 25:57Speaker 1: were but that, but you could see what they're doing
- 26:01Speaker 1: to like, well he'll get the popular vote because you
- 26:02Speaker 1: know he's on Ireland medals in the art spot.
- 26:06Speaker 2: That it really drilled down into how this lad became
- 26:09Speaker 2: this lad. But like he won a bunch of All
- 26:13Speaker 2: Ireland medals for Dublin.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and I.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Think they overestimate how much the other thirty one counties
- 26:20Speaker 2: in this country cheer leaded him on while he was
- 26:24Speaker 2: doing that. Yeah, I think you'll find that the pendulum
- 26:28Speaker 2: was quite the other end of the tik tok on that. Nevertheless,
- 26:31Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, five a year old Jim Galvin.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Everybody loves the Dublin g football team. Get him out there. Now.
- 26:41Speaker 2: As we record this, it's Monday, and a week is
- 26:45Speaker 2: a long time in politics, So I have no idea
- 26:47Speaker 2: what will have happened between now and this thing drops
- 26:50Speaker 2: on tour trip. But I can tell you what happened
- 26:52Speaker 2: between now and yesterday. It was revealed that Jim Gavin
- 26:57Speaker 2: presidential candidate, former landlord, received payments from an ex tenant.
- 27:08Speaker 2: So the ex tenant, I guess forgot to cancel the
- 27:10Speaker 2: direct debit or some which I didn't really read into it.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Ex tenant forgot to cancel his direct debitta or was
- 27:15Speaker 2: goosed by the bank, or you know, I need you
- 27:18Speaker 2: to send me a rye ban or whatever the fuck
- 27:20Speaker 2: it was. And he paid Jim Gavin three thousand, three
- 27:24Speaker 2: hundred euros over you know, but yeah, he had no
- 27:28Speaker 2: reason to get him, Jim. Jim Gavin had three thousand,
- 27:30Speaker 2: three hundred euros all of his money, he said, Jim,
- 27:33Speaker 2: he got like three thousand, three hundred euros, and Jim
- 27:36Speaker 2: ghosted him. Yeah, and Jim never called him back. And
- 27:40Speaker 2: this dude who was expecting I keep saying, dude, this
- 27:44Speaker 2: family who were expecting a baby at the time, and
- 27:48Speaker 2: chasing him for this three thousand, three hundred euro chased
- 27:53Speaker 2: him forward to the point where Gavin just ghosted them,
- 27:55Speaker 2: to the point where they were like, well, I guess
- 27:57Speaker 2: that's three thousand, three hundred euros we're never going to
- 27:59Speaker 2: see again. Bless yourself and go on about your business.
- 28:02Speaker 2: And then sixteen years later, six or eight and whatever
- 28:05Speaker 2: the fuck it was. Years later, you look on your TV.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And here's the son of a bitch fun for president.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Yeah, straight onto, Hello, humbards man, whoever you are, can
- 28:15Speaker 2: you just can you just write this down? Jim Gavin
- 28:18Speaker 2: os me three and a half grand. He was three
- 28:22Speaker 2: and a half grand. Jim Gavin, when pressed upon this,
- 28:26Speaker 2: was have you ever seen a man himself as much
- 28:31Speaker 2: as you've seen this guy just dumbfunck himself out of
- 28:33Speaker 2: a presidential race.
- 28:35Speaker 1: One he lit. You could hear the walls of Babylon
- 28:39Speaker 1: closing on that guy, Like, I mean, that was it.
- 28:41Speaker 2: It was just you could hear him.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Remember this what you could hear was, you know, like
- 28:48Speaker 1: almost it'd be something like he's in the room, but
- 28:52Speaker 1: his Homer Simpson brain shuts the door behind him and
- 28:57Speaker 1: runs away. Do you know what I saw in that?
- 28:59Speaker 1: Years ago, I worked with this fucking cowboy right of
- 29:02Speaker 1: a builder and we were in this It was a
- 29:05Speaker 1: it was a big building he was building for this company,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and I only just I was just giving a hand.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I was just jumping on board for a couple of weeks.
- 29:12Speaker 1: And he said, can you come along to this meeting
- 29:13Speaker 1: with me. I'm like, yeah, no problem. And the engineers,
- 29:16Speaker 1: the Arctics had all been through it, and there was
- 29:18Speaker 1: this Jim Gavin moment. Right, this guy was the biggest
- 29:20Speaker 1: chancer you've ever fucking met. Nice guy, but chancer. And
- 29:24Speaker 1: they're going through the drawing and they said, by the way,
- 29:26Speaker 1: we'll call him Brendan for now. Right, Brendan, we noticed
- 29:30Speaker 1: that this beam here from the Arctics, from the engineers,
- 29:35Speaker 1: that's not there. Why is that not there? And he went, ah,
- 29:40Speaker 1: the reason is. Genuinely in front of a room like
- 29:44Speaker 1: four or five men, he went, the reason is and
- 29:48Speaker 1: he walked straight past me, and he fucking barely knew
- 29:51Speaker 1: this guy walked straight out to the office door closed it,
- 29:53Speaker 1: ran down the steps, jumped in the fan of droveway
- 29:55Speaker 1: And that was at Jim Gavin moment. I was like,
- 29:58Speaker 1: he is just short. I've just gone straightened up his
- 30:01Speaker 1: tight thank you.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Yeah, he's walking out the window. Yeah, they got Jim
- 30:06Speaker 2: Gavin in what can only be described as a Columbo moment. Yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 2: you know, he Jim Gavin had gone up. And with
- 30:13Speaker 2: respect to Jim Gavin and his accomplishments in life, he
- 30:17Speaker 2: had a hell of a bad week last week. He
- 30:19Speaker 2: was like he was he was starring in drone footage
- 30:24Speaker 2: with drones flown in no fly zones. Yeah, and he
- 30:28Speaker 2: his ex military would have known that there was no
- 30:31Speaker 2: call for a drone to be, no legal reason for
- 30:33Speaker 2: a drone to be flown around him. And they were like, Jim,
- 30:37Speaker 2: what do you say to the fact that there was
- 30:38Speaker 2: a drone flying five ft in front of your face
- 30:41Speaker 2: film when all this was going on, And he turned
- 30:43Speaker 2: around and said, I didn't cure it.
- 30:46Speaker 1: You wouldn't walking things like sounds like a thousand bees.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Like okay, So there was a lot of this shit
- 30:52Speaker 2: going on. But at the same time, I was like well,
- 30:55Speaker 2: he's lying his ass off, so fair play. Maybe he
- 30:58Speaker 2: has what it takes to be a pheno fall policy, yeah,
- 31:00Speaker 2: I say, but they got him at the the bet
- 31:03Speaker 2: and it was a real sort of moment like in
- 31:05Speaker 2: Colombo Wars, like just one more thing, mister Kevin.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Yeah, love it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Do you go three and a half grand to a
- 31:13Speaker 2: tent that you had six or eight years ago and
- 31:17Speaker 2: you could just see him?
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do?
- 31:21Speaker 2: You come to find out? I do? And he him
- 31:24Speaker 2: than he had, and he riddled and he reeled around
- 31:26Speaker 2: the place until eventually something happened on Sunday night, whether
- 31:31Speaker 2: you know where he came from, and said, we can't
- 31:34Speaker 2: fucking have this gym? Is there anything else common? That's
- 31:36Speaker 2: the one thing between now and it's hard to say,
- 31:39Speaker 2: Tom Weeks a long time apologies, Yeah, is there anything
- 31:42Speaker 2: else common? Because this is fucking bad, but we can
- 31:45Speaker 2: probably make it go away or settle down a little
- 31:47Speaker 2: bit unless there's like more common.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I think the word on the street and there's no,
- 31:54Speaker 1: we're not getting into it. But the word on the
- 31:56Speaker 1: street was there was much more solation.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Things to come. Well, let's see what let's see what
- 32:03Speaker 2: falls out over that let's not wildly speculated about it
- 32:05Speaker 2: just now, but let's let's see what comes out over
- 32:07Speaker 2: the week. But the man was like, you know, actually,
- 32:09Speaker 2: it's probably best if I just kind of back out here.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I totally I thought I put myself in that ex
- 32:16Speaker 1: tenant's shoes too. Number One, This motherfucker's there for years
- 32:20Speaker 1: in the public light anyway. He still owes me three
- 32:24Speaker 1: and a half grand and I I'll never forget I
- 32:27Speaker 1: had a landlord. It's like a fucking me stories all
- 32:30Speaker 1: this evening, but it's just wrung so true with me.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I could put myself in that person's We were I
- 32:35Speaker 1: was living in a house that was owned by a
- 32:38Speaker 1: well known we'll say shopkeeper in Cork and he he
- 32:44Speaker 1: had so many properties. When I left that property, left
- 32:48Speaker 1: it perfectly. I've been cutting the lawn with my own lawn. Yeah,
- 32:52Speaker 1: I took my own norm with me, and he didn't
- 32:54Speaker 1: know whether he owned that lawnmore or he'd seen the
- 32:57Speaker 1: lawn being cut. And he had the neck to into
- 33:01Speaker 1: my side office because he bought a bunch of properties
- 33:03Speaker 1: off these people and belt me across the head with
- 33:05Speaker 1: the newspaper during the workday. This guy's fucking ego thought
- 33:11Speaker 1: he could do that, and to say, I went, you
- 33:16Speaker 1: have you've heard me use this phrase? I don't have
- 33:18Speaker 1: a I don't have like a few. It's a trip switch.
- 33:22Speaker 1: I broke. I came jump off the office chairs, I
- 33:25Speaker 1: broke the fucking chair behind me. I ran him straight
- 33:28Speaker 1: through the prefab fucking wall and stuck his head into
- 33:31Speaker 1: the fucking sink and was going to beat him to
- 33:33Speaker 1: death with the fucking kettle. I didn't even know who
- 33:35Speaker 1: did it to me. And then when I saw it,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I went and the same gentleman again, don't have to
- 33:40Speaker 1: name him or anything. He had been shaking hands with
- 33:43Speaker 1: the Queen shortly previous to that, and he's kissing her arson.
- 33:48Speaker 1: What a great guy he was, and he was all
- 33:50Speaker 1: over the television, what a great guy. And I've gone, No, No,
- 33:52Speaker 1: that guy's a count.
- 33:54Speaker 2: That's I'm gonna tell you one thing, Tamil will take
- 33:56Speaker 2: it off. I fucking know this guy.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Oh No, he's a cunt. He's a cunt. We had no,
- 34:04Speaker 1: we had no nice words between each other.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Ever, Well, I gotta tell you, Okay, So here's something
- 34:09Speaker 2: I want to say before we go on, because like
- 34:11Speaker 2: we're not a political podcast. But you know, we kind
- 34:13Speaker 2: of hope we know right from wrong. Here's the thing
- 34:15Speaker 2: I want to say, Tom. People will say, oh, you
- 34:18Speaker 2: know what, three thousand, three hundred euros, three thousand, five
- 34:20Speaker 2: hundred euros, Like, you know, it's not like Jim gaffn
- 34:23Speaker 2: fucking robbed the bank. It's not like he did this,
- 34:25Speaker 2: that and the other like it's it's on the scale
- 34:27Speaker 2: of things, on the scale of what has been stolen
- 34:30Speaker 2: from this country by his parliamentary party of choice. It's
- 34:34Speaker 2: small potatoes, buddy. Ah, Here's what I want to tell you, Tom, Right,
- 34:39Speaker 2: he didn't steal three thousand, three hundred euros, or indeed,
- 34:42Speaker 2: he didn't leave three thousand, three hundred euros resting in
- 34:44Speaker 2: his cart. Whatever fucking father way, father ted way he
- 34:46Speaker 2: wants to use to spin his way out of this.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Right you took When you take money from somebody that
- 34:53Speaker 2: doesn't have money, you're taking awful lot more than the
- 34:56Speaker 2: value of the money you take.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Does that make any sense to unbelieve this makes sense? Yeah?
- 35:01Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, he is there like he was taking three
- 35:04Speaker 1: point three million off somebody who was It's worse than that,
- 35:07Speaker 1: because if if you somebody can give you three point
- 35:09Speaker 1: three million by accident because an overdrawn direct debit, then
- 35:13Speaker 1: they can aford till buy the dinner next week. But
- 35:17Speaker 1: if you take two months worth of rent and go,
- 35:20Speaker 1: you don't go, oh Jesus, like, it's not like a
- 35:22Speaker 1: dispute of a product. They accidentally gave it to you
- 35:26Speaker 1: because of the overdraft and no doubt or the standing order.
- 35:30Speaker 1: They accidentally gave it to you, so you didn't fucking
- 35:32Speaker 1: earn it. You didn't give him a product or service
- 35:35Speaker 1: as a result of it, So you fucking should go
- 35:37Speaker 1: down your hands and knees and got guys, Jesus, what
- 35:39Speaker 1: do you do? And your crazy sons of bitches, let
- 35:41Speaker 1: me transit transfer straight back? Best to look to the
- 35:44Speaker 1: two or.
- 35:44Speaker 2: To the three or whatever, you know what I mean,
- 35:47Speaker 2: unless you just want to keep that money, you have
- 35:50Speaker 2: no intention whatever giving a pack.
- 35:51Speaker 1: How do you tell you what it is when you
- 35:53Speaker 1: have that profile? Even back then, how do you not
- 35:55Speaker 1: settle it? When you have that profile?
- 35:57Speaker 2: Do you know you don't know what was taken from
- 35:59Speaker 2: these people? Because you'll never know the impact that three
- 36:02Speaker 2: thousand euros would have on somebody that needed it. Like
- 36:06Speaker 2: I can point exactly the situations where I needed to
- 36:11Speaker 2: drop five hundred euro on the car twenty years ago,
- 36:15Speaker 2: and you say yourself, well was five hundred euros? Yeah,
- 36:18Speaker 2: but that meant that maybe you didn't get to go
- 36:20Speaker 2: on holders with the lads, or do you know what
- 36:23Speaker 2: I mean? You you worried that much about it, you
- 36:27Speaker 2: didn't do as well that's cool as you would have done,
- 36:29Speaker 2: or it borrowed your mind and you had a row
- 36:32Speaker 2: with the woman at the time, and blah blah blah,
- 36:34Speaker 2: all this kind of cracking on. You know, it stressed
- 36:36Speaker 2: you out that much that there was knock going one
- 36:39Speaker 2: effects that I dare say for a lot of people
- 36:41Speaker 2: to lose that kind of money. And now when it
- 36:43Speaker 2: comes to light that that a child you along the
- 36:45Speaker 2: way as well, like needed three grand more than Jim
- 36:48Speaker 2: fucking Gavin needed it. I'll tell you that much I
- 36:50Speaker 2: was in it.
- 36:51Speaker 1: I was kind of going, well, let's give in the better,
- 36:52Speaker 1: no doubt. What's he gonna say. Is you gonna say, well,
- 36:54Speaker 1: it was actually the deposit and to be fair, they
- 36:56Speaker 1: left the place and shit or something like that.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Anything gym some means out of this buddy, he had.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Nothing for us. So he was just like it sounded
- 37:04Speaker 1: like pocket and he went, yeah, it was a really
- 37:07Speaker 1: hard time for me, Like what you just.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Took the three grand of wasn't just like.
- 37:14Speaker 1: No doubt if it's in Dublin is where we're assumed
- 37:17Speaker 1: the property is in Dublin, right that It's not like
- 37:19Speaker 1: that was sitting either for two fucking months. It was
- 37:21Speaker 1: gone and.
- 37:24Speaker 2: On the double for us, and you say nothing three grand,
- 37:28Speaker 2: oh yeah, Jim Gavin, Or it was a difficult financial
- 37:30Speaker 2: time for us. Yeah, your man over here, he wasn't
- 37:32Speaker 2: that that you took three and a half grand from
- 37:34Speaker 2: That wasn't his fucking hack money.
- 37:36Speaker 1: So it was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Normally, when we normally tell My Jerry Show, when we
- 37:41Speaker 2: get to this guy, we spin it around with something
- 37:43Speaker 2: funny and be like, oh, here's like you know who
- 37:45Speaker 2: you know? You know every now and then you just
- 37:47Speaker 2: have to go, you know, watch Jim Gavin. Yeah this
- 37:50Speaker 2: week this because you got fucking sprung rotten more than
- 37:53Speaker 2: I've ever seen a man sprung living memory.
- 37:56Speaker 1: You know. And if anything tells you that he ain't
- 37:58Speaker 1: ready for politics is that he couldn't dance. He couldn't
- 38:01Speaker 1: do the dance. He just did it. Yeah, the fucking
- 38:04Speaker 1: breaks all seized up on him. Everything the fucking hinge
- 38:07Speaker 1: of block dropped out and me, fucking shit the bed
- 38:10Speaker 1: in front.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Yeah, let the fucking door hitch on the art on
- 38:13Speaker 2: the way out, Jim. And if you don't mind taking
- 38:15Speaker 2: down a government or two while they're at a part,
- 38:17Speaker 2: we really greatly appreciate it. Now, Tom, let's go to
- 38:24Speaker 2: the third segment of the show. We look back on
- 38:27Speaker 2: things that we've seen through our life. It's called we
- 38:29Speaker 2: Remember when when I.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Was a young lad twenty or thirty or forty.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Years ago, he told me them nine intros were getting
- 38:37Speaker 2: too long time.
- 38:37Speaker 1: No, I like you jumped straight to it there it was, Honestly,
- 38:41Speaker 1: there was a I don't know what it was, some
- 38:43Speaker 1: sort of fucking wildlife heat. I've spoke about it in
- 38:45Speaker 1: the past. We're in some sort of avatar fucking planet.
- 38:48Speaker 1: The spiders are the biggest I've ever seen. The Harry
- 38:51Speaker 1: Mollies or little horses of what have you caught him
- 38:54Speaker 1: the biggest I've ever.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Seen, but now can see Harry Molly's.
- 38:56Speaker 1: I don't know what that thing was that just out
- 38:58Speaker 1: by the way. Did I get you one of these?
- 39:01Speaker 1: I have one of these pens for you. Oh, we
- 39:03Speaker 1: can't be very with the rubber arts. It's one of
- 39:06Speaker 1: the most fun things I've ever had. I know, there
- 39:08Speaker 1: was a beatle crawling across and I'm like, okay, all right,
- 39:11Speaker 1: will you live here?
- 39:12Speaker 2: Now? I suppose it's much like you know that that
- 39:16Speaker 2: was not paying your rent?
- 39:18Speaker 1: This this you brought this to my attention. But it's
- 39:22Speaker 1: been one. It's been one that has as I'm I
- 39:26Speaker 1: say this all the time, I can never buy the
- 39:27Speaker 1: fucking hype. I can never buy the hype. And it's
- 39:30Speaker 1: not like Indie guy either, like we can.
- 39:35Speaker 2: We can never buy the hype because of what we've
- 39:39Speaker 2: lived through, buddys on this planet.
- 39:41Speaker 1: This is the thing like and right now, I suppose
- 39:45Speaker 1: to jumping off point that we have on this is
- 39:46Speaker 1: that they all conquering. And is she the first billionaire
- 39:52Speaker 1: singer or whatever. I don't know. Celin Diana's probably a
- 39:55Speaker 1: billionaire two but and so then ye, but if she's
- 40:00Speaker 1: probably one of the I suppose from the purposes of this,
- 40:03Speaker 1: but the current I think she wanted to work point
- 40:05Speaker 1: three billion or something. But our Taylor Swift, her latest album,
- 40:11Speaker 1: it would seem would be right up there with something
- 40:15Speaker 1: Jim Gavinoul turned out as flying crock as shit is
- 40:19Speaker 1: and all and sundery. I looked it up when you
- 40:20Speaker 1: talked about the reviews are hot gun.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Here's the thing, you know, it's the latest and greatest,
- 40:27Speaker 2: the big hypo, the new Taylor Swift hand looking coming
- 40:29Speaker 2: out and you can replace Taylor Swift with anything, okay,
- 40:33Speaker 2: But she just so happens to be getting it this
- 40:35Speaker 2: week that she came out with her new album, and
- 40:37Speaker 2: literally two men, indeed a woman, every single person that
- 40:41Speaker 2: I've listened to says this is the crazy shit they've
- 40:44Speaker 2: ever sipped through in their life. Hardcore Taylor Swift fans,
- 40:47Speaker 2: which normally are people you don't draw upon yourself. I mean,
- 40:51Speaker 2: she wanted to hear what they said about my hairline
- 40:53Speaker 2: online today, but hardcore Taylor Swift fans do not let
- 40:59Speaker 2: you say anything. Battery tailors, Shrift and even they are
- 41:01Speaker 2: saying this one's ship should have left this when the
- 41:05Speaker 2: drafts their love and myself and Tom don't have much
- 41:09Speaker 2: skin in the game as far as is concerned. But
- 41:12Speaker 2: as we said at the start of the segment, this
- 41:14Speaker 2: is not news to us. We've seen this happen a
- 41:16Speaker 2: thousand times in the last forty years, or something comes
- 41:19Speaker 2: along and it's going to be the big I am,
- 41:21Speaker 2: and it turns out not to be so No.
- 41:24Speaker 1: I mean, there's it's what they call it this you know,
- 41:28Speaker 1: it's not just musical, but it's the second second album
- 41:32Speaker 1: curse really, you know, or even even in a lot
- 41:34Speaker 1: of case there second one as Yeah.
- 41:36Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you it's not just music either, Tom,
- 41:39Speaker 2: it's movies, games, oh, sporting events.
- 41:43Speaker 1: How many of these remakes have ever been a huge success,
- 41:46Speaker 1: you know what I mean? These current you know, from
- 41:48Speaker 1: what they did to Ghostbusters for the love of God,
- 41:51Speaker 1: do you.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Know what I mean? And and like there's a couple
- 41:53Speaker 2: of them where you can kind of see it coming,
- 41:55Speaker 2: you know, and you're like, I think there's going to
- 41:58Speaker 2: be a big by the Shed lads, but every now
- 42:00Speaker 2: and then some built up like it is going to
- 42:02Speaker 2: be the last word, And when you actually get it,
- 42:07Speaker 2: you see a lot of people looking very fucking humble.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ, yeah, oh Christ. Yeah. Like I was
- 42:13Speaker 1: looking up the vhe at one British just one hit
- 42:17Speaker 1: wonders out of interest to see, you know what I mean?
- 42:19Speaker 1: Really did they bang that you would you say, I've
- 42:21Speaker 1: expected much more out of them afterwards and number one
- 42:25Speaker 1: of all time from nineteen ninety six, and I would
- 42:28Speaker 1: have thought they would have gotten more of it, but
- 42:30Speaker 1: they're probably still cashing a check lost el Rio the
- 42:33Speaker 1: macarena where you know what I mean with that banger,
- 42:37Speaker 1: like it's a banger, there's no two ways about it.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Whether you like it or not, you have to go
- 42:40Speaker 1: for kudos there like it was a I couldn't follow
- 42:44Speaker 1: it up, couldn't and didn't even attempt here, didn't even
- 42:47Speaker 1: attempt to you A few more like I mean, rubbishy
- 42:50Speaker 1: bits came out of them, all right, number four, right,
- 42:53Speaker 1: said friend, you know what I mean that you won?
- 42:56Speaker 2: Right, I'll tell you one that I sat down, I
- 42:59Speaker 2: was right in the middle of it, right. And these days,
- 43:02Speaker 2: with the benefit of hindsight, we can all look back
- 43:04Speaker 2: at and go like, yeah, that was shit. Why would
- 43:06Speaker 2: you have expected it to be any better? And I'm like, well,
- 43:09Speaker 2: there was reason to believe that this was gonna be
- 43:11Speaker 2: the next greatest and latest and the whole lot. And
- 43:15Speaker 2: that is the experience that the world had with Spider
- 43:19Speaker 2: Man three. Oh Jesus Christ, you now they'd have to
- 43:22Speaker 2: come off the back at Spider Man one with Toby
- 43:24Speaker 2: maguire beloved by all Spider Man to you fuck me
- 43:27Speaker 2: even better. Oh my god, this is the latest and greatest,
- 43:31Speaker 2: winning new legions of Marvel fans the world over. This
- 43:35Speaker 2: thing is twenty years ago. And then Spider Man three
- 43:38Speaker 2: came out, and I remember I was just like, God,
- 43:40Speaker 2: this is just gonna be nothing, but net this is
- 43:43Speaker 2: just gonna be Spidery swinging through the sky is just
- 43:46Speaker 2: another wonderful adventure in the cinema opening night, fucking kids
- 43:52Speaker 2: dressed as Spider Man place going bananas. After seven minutes,
- 43:57Speaker 2: everybody got oddly.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Quiet because there was a hunderd sack of shit.
- 44:04Speaker 2: And got to the end and everybody just looked at
- 44:06Speaker 2: each other, like, what the fuck just happened? Yeah, I
- 44:10Speaker 2: think it. We bit and we broke that daytime. I
- 44:12Speaker 2: was like, oh, okay, okay, this this is nothing's given.
- 44:18Speaker 1: But I think we were pre emptied for a lot
- 44:19Speaker 1: of that, because even probably I think it was nearly
- 44:23Speaker 1: like a sigh up the things that were happening during
- 44:25Speaker 1: the eighties probably prior to us too, because they were
- 44:28Speaker 1: there was trying. There was a big effort to have
- 44:29Speaker 1: a big jump forward out of the sixties seventies, yes,
- 44:34Speaker 1: which is what you know for a lot the home life.
- 44:36Speaker 1: But that's all it was. It was pretty much the
- 44:38Speaker 1: same thing in Ireland and the UK. It was the
- 44:40Speaker 1: same thing the sixties and seventies and then the ages,
- 44:43Speaker 1: just trying to no man, I'm different and things like
- 44:45Speaker 1: and I didn't see this only I was excited by
- 44:48Speaker 1: it was Smash, right. It was never going to make
- 44:52Speaker 1: it into my old one's house, like not, you hope,
- 44:56Speaker 1: not a prayer. But my friend his dad was a
- 44:59Speaker 1: you know, a kind of an international singer and stuff,
- 45:01Speaker 1: so they had trendy things would show up in the house.
- 45:04Speaker 2: You know what I mean, and the other man need
- 45:06Speaker 2: to know who this is later on.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Folky music, you know what I mean. But you know,
- 45:11Speaker 1: but at the same time we did very very well
- 45:14Speaker 1: known and stuff like that. But like they had multiple
- 45:17Speaker 1: phones around the house, you know, this kind of thing
- 45:19Speaker 1: like they had. But Smash landed on this one day
- 45:22Speaker 1: and I mean, like that the hype chair. I was
- 45:25Speaker 1: so pumpered. I'm like, well, put petetas fuck those youngs.
- 45:28Speaker 1: They gotta grow on the ground, be washed, peel fucking
- 45:31Speaker 1: biled this stuff banging in the pot with some water
- 45:34Speaker 1: or whatever magic she's doing over there.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Soeign Jesus Christ.
- 45:39Speaker 1: You wouldn't give this out to fucking starving pigs.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Oh my.
- 45:43Speaker 1: And they all sat around and wolfed down jer and
- 45:45Speaker 1: I had to sit. They bought the hype. The whole
- 45:48Speaker 1: family bought the hype. Potatoes were think of the past.
- 45:51Speaker 1: This ship in the box was the thing of the future.
- 45:53Speaker 1: This was going to be the greatest thing ever. And
- 45:55Speaker 1: they were buying it. They were all sitting around schlurping it.
- 45:58Speaker 1: And that's all you could do. You could drink this
- 45:59Speaker 1: stuff at all.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I sat there all this daytime. I don't believe I've
- 46:04Speaker 2: ever knownly eaten smash. Maybe like it was saved to
- 46:07Speaker 2: be in a cavalry or some such and I just
- 46:09Speaker 2: don't know about it. But like, I don't believe I've
- 46:11Speaker 2: ever knownly eaten powdered potatoes.
- 46:13Speaker 1: I knowingly the one time, the one time, I lied,
- 46:16Speaker 1: I lied and said I'm not I've never been allergic
- 46:18Speaker 1: to anything in my life. I lied and said it
- 46:21Speaker 1: was allergic to it.
- 46:21Speaker 2: This this is what, this is what happens every now
- 46:24Speaker 2: and then, Tom is you get this kind of Emperor's
- 46:26Speaker 2: New clothes. That's what hyped up so much comes to you.
- 46:31Speaker 2: The brain gets blind to it, and it's just like,
- 46:34Speaker 2: I guess it's nice because I've been told a hundred
- 46:37Speaker 2: times it's going to be. And every now and then,
- 46:40Speaker 2: something so bad, such as the case with the Taylor
- 46:43Speaker 2: Swift album we just listened to, it's so bad that
- 46:46Speaker 2: everybody just has to turn around and go like what
- 46:49Speaker 2: the fuck? Like that, most hardcore of fans can't even
- 46:53Speaker 2: stand over. And the most recent example of that that
- 46:55Speaker 2: I can point to is the last season of Game
- 46:59Speaker 2: of Thrones.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they that was sucking. The fag box
- 47:03Speaker 1: was near the empty. Uh, you're wrapping this up to
- 47:07Speaker 1: get down the shops before they close, you know what
- 47:09Speaker 1: I mean? That they wrapped it up in like they
- 47:12Speaker 1: left themselves down so badly in COMPARI, but that happens
- 47:16Speaker 1: so many times where they're screw but don't have to do.
- 47:20Speaker 2: How rare is it? Tom or even like the die
- 47:22Speaker 2: hard fans of Game, I've never heard a good words
- 47:24Speaker 2: out about that fucking finale. I've never heard like people
- 47:28Speaker 2: come back.
- 47:28Speaker 1: And go like I did, like how she went.
- 47:30Speaker 2: It's this, you know, and it's all I've heard is
- 47:32Speaker 2: like just weeping and national teeth.
- 47:34Speaker 1: Well, let's put Game of Thrones and say, okay, well
- 47:37Speaker 1: look at a full game of whatever sport. You won't

- 51:39Speaker 2: the is this the Is this the carhart of of
- 51:42Speaker 2: Capriz these days? Jesus Christ, Tom, that's it, Jesus Mother Mary.
- 51:49Speaker 2: That fucking this is what passes for Ford Capri here, Yeah,
- 51:56Speaker 2: it's with respect, With respect Tom, it looked click something
- 52:00Speaker 2: that I would drive with a spacious boot, and uh
- 52:08Speaker 2: yeah you know.
- 52:09Speaker 1: But now in your forties with a family, that's what
- 52:12Speaker 1: you would drive, right, that's what you drive. You drop
- 52:14Speaker 1: the kids to fucking soccer, fucking drawing drawing class, whatever
- 52:18Speaker 1: the fuck? You know what I mean, You go visit
- 52:20Speaker 1: Nana in that thing. But there has to be an ideology,
- 52:24Speaker 1: there has to be a dream, There has to be
- 52:26Speaker 1: where I'm not saying you gotta do it every fucking Sunday,
- 52:30Speaker 1: but sometimes, you know what I mean, fucking ar indoors
- 52:33Speaker 1: is giving you some or fucking just hadn't know if
- 52:35Speaker 1: the dog has given you shit. You just want to
- 52:38Speaker 1: fucking sit in and I crank a fucking you know
- 52:42Speaker 1: what I mean, Hell's bills are fucking entercend man and
- 52:46Speaker 1: you just fucking ram fucking go out the gate. Anything
- 52:49Speaker 1: with pride.
- 52:50Speaker 2: I had to give it a week quick check there terminate,
- 52:52Speaker 2: But like where I would remember a Ford Capri from
- 52:56Speaker 2: and I had to check just make sure this wasn't
- 52:57Speaker 2: a fever dream that had That was del Boys sports car,
- 53:00Speaker 2: wasn't it?
- 53:01Speaker 1: You know? He did? Yes, he did have. Yeah, now
- 53:04Speaker 1: I do. I do think. I don't know if the
- 53:06Speaker 1: Sweeney had him, but there was like there was a
- 53:09Speaker 1: few they showed up in a few or maybe Minder
- 53:12Speaker 1: had had a jag, I think did he.
- 53:14Speaker 2: I think the Sweeney might have been driving Caprize.
- 53:17Speaker 1: We can double check that because they did. Because I
- 53:19Speaker 1: think I think the new Sweeney as a throwback, they
- 53:23Speaker 1: had rs focuses, which were rapid focuses, you know, like
- 53:26Speaker 1: four hundred horsepower or three fifty horse power focuses. I
- 53:29Speaker 1: think that must mean their throwback that they needed rapid character.
- 53:34Speaker 1: I think they had. I think they had.
- 53:38Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they didn't have, Tom, they didn't
- 53:40Speaker 2: have this fucking shop and trolley on wheel. But they didn't.
- 53:42Speaker 1: But that isn't that scandalous? Like and again I hope
- 53:47Speaker 1: you took the capri name, like and that's where you went.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Well with forty years down the road, guys, I guess
- 53:53Speaker 1: we better really start looking at it. You know, a strong, aggressive,
- 53:56Speaker 1: fucking just a car that you look at. I man,
- 54:00Speaker 1: when you look at that car, the old Capra, and
- 54:02Speaker 1: you're going that looks like fun. Sure, it's probably only
- 54:06Speaker 1: got about one hundred and twenty horse power. But fuck me,
- 54:09Speaker 1: it weighs nothing. It's got to stick shift in there,
- 54:12Speaker 1: smells the leather. Just go for it, you know what
- 54:14Speaker 1: I mean. It's going and every it's gonna put a
- 54:16Speaker 1: smile on everybody's face because you're like, that's a cool
- 54:18Speaker 1: looking car. That thing, you know what that is? That
- 54:23Speaker 1: is if the automotive embodiment of Taylor Swift's new car.
- 54:29Speaker 1: Am I right?
- 54:30Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right. And I hope that the Ford
- 54:33Speaker 2: Fanship out there, which is amazing, because I hope nobody's
- 54:37Speaker 2: I hope nobody's going like, well, actually it contains many
- 54:40Speaker 2: of the aesthetics of the issues weful modern twist back off.
- 54:45Speaker 1: No, it's Jesus Quare, Like, here's the thing. It isn't
- 54:48Speaker 1: beyond ford Ford. I have I Mustang. They have a
- 54:52Speaker 1: two point two Mustang here in Ireland, like they you're
- 54:54Speaker 1: sure you can get the five liter Beast, which a
- 54:57Speaker 1: very very I got to meet and got to drive
- 55:00Speaker 1: alongside for a five minute drive Steve McQueen's son out
- 55:04Speaker 1: of Parmerstown House, you know, in a five liters.
- 55:07Speaker 2: Five hundred horse by Finton McQueen.
- 55:10Speaker 1: Was he Finton? I don't know, I don't know. No,
- 55:12Speaker 1: he wasn't. He wasn't and it wasn't Steve either. It
- 55:15Speaker 1: was something he was a race car driver, looked cool
- 55:17Speaker 1: as hell, Like the guy looked like Steve McQueen, you
- 55:19Speaker 1: know what I mean. It was a you know, and
- 55:21Speaker 1: if you're gonna ride on the back of anybody's any
- 55:23Speaker 1: euphuist name, you may as well either that or Eastwood,
- 55:25Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That's who. But he it
- 55:29Speaker 1: was an awesome car. But it was great to see.
- 55:31Speaker 1: It was like, oh cool, there's something for everybody. Now
- 55:33Speaker 1: you have to ford focus the mandayo or whatever for
- 55:36Speaker 1: the family man, the family woman. But you have this badass,
- 55:39Speaker 1: cool motherfucker. Guess they'll never never reintroduce the Capri, is
- 55:43Speaker 1: what I thought in my head when I heard they
- 55:45Speaker 1: were bringing out the Caprio one. We're back, baby. No, this,
- 55:50Speaker 1: even the Capri is way ahead of our time. Both
- 55:53Speaker 1: growing up as a child, you saw it wasn't that old,
- 55:55Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? It wasn't that old.
- 55:57Speaker 1: The old man got arrested in one, do you know
- 55:59Speaker 1: what I mean? When I showed him that fucking thing,
- 56:01Speaker 1: it was like hones stagnant.
- 56:03Speaker 2: And nearly got arrested again.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he hit the fucking roof and I showed
- 56:07Speaker 1: him because it was all like he thought, there's but
- 56:10Speaker 1: again he was like, there's his own words. There are
- 56:12Speaker 1: some things Tom, much like my criminal record should be
- 56:15Speaker 1: left in.
- 56:15Speaker 2: The past, should be left. Came here, have your room
- 56:18Speaker 2: for one more buddy. Yeah. This is the only thing
- 56:22Speaker 2: I can say is like this. This is the most
- 56:24Speaker 2: Emperor's New Clothes I've ever lived through. Okay, in my
- 56:28Speaker 2: live long life. It's a song that was released in
- 56:31Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six. You and I would have been around
- 56:32Speaker 2: about fifteen sixteen or okay, okay, again, this was going
- 56:36Speaker 2: to be the be all and end all. It was
- 56:40Speaker 2: a song called.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Space Man, all tied you to go into space Man.
- 56:48Speaker 2: Do you fucking remember that?
- 56:50Speaker 1: I I remember that in my core because there was
- 56:54Speaker 1: two I hate I fucking I'm give an example, but
- 56:57Speaker 1: you just tonight has been such a nostele the show
- 57:00Speaker 1: for me. There was I pretended to be a porter
- 57:04Speaker 1: at a hotel. I didn't do anything. I just ate
- 57:06Speaker 1: the food and they paid me. But this one particular night,
- 57:09Speaker 1: it was the twenty first birthday party that they booked
- 57:11Speaker 1: this hotel room, this function room, the same hotel, and
- 57:13Speaker 1: many of them. And they had booked a band and
- 57:16Speaker 1: hadn't really looked into foot the band we're going to
- 57:18Speaker 1: do as a husband and wife and they they they
- 57:24Speaker 1: obviously played pub gigs and stuff like that, but they
- 57:27Speaker 1: could sing. But they tried to really beat hip and
- 57:29Speaker 1: down with the kids like this is the twenty first
- 57:32Speaker 1: only the kids were there, none of the adults, but
- 57:33Speaker 1: none of their parents were there, and they tried to
- 57:37Speaker 1: do that sound for Jesus. But the same night, Now,
- 57:43Speaker 1: this is while we talked about unplugging and going back
- 57:45Speaker 1: to the you know, the early days of phones. I
- 57:47Speaker 1: wish I had at a camera phone at the time.
- 57:50Speaker 2: This would have been oh camere, Oh my gosh, there
- 57:52Speaker 2: had been Twitter when this thing came out.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Like they did. My husband and wife did the voice stir.
- 57:57Speaker 1: They went space and she's in the background space I
- 58:02Speaker 1: did it. And then they went and I thought, no,
- 58:06Speaker 1: just go back to the classics, like sing a bit
- 58:08Speaker 1: of Elvis, you know what I mean? And I think,
- 58:10Speaker 1: can be a crackling rosy up here, please, And then
- 58:12Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there they go, and I think,
- 58:15Speaker 1: you're like this one coming up he goes I'm blue.
