- 0:39Speaker 1: Let me in the door. Now you've let the fox

- 0:45Speaker 2: They go out in the morning to be like three
- 0:47Speaker 2: car batteries in.

- 1:08Speaker 1: me when it comes to the bins. So I'm I'm
- 1:11Speaker 1: in great form. I got rid of way more crap
- 1:13Speaker 1: than I was expecting to get rid of this evening.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Tell me a.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Million dollar idea, because I love that.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I'll tell you a million dollar idea. Before I do that,
- 1:20Speaker 2: I want to welcome everybody to the podcast. We went
- 1:22Speaker 2: off again, Tommy, I started me on the bins. You're
- 1:24Speaker 2: all very welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show. My
- 1:26Speaker 2: name is Jerry McBride and he is Tom oh Many
- 1:30Speaker 2: and Bin talk is but a taste of the rubbish
- 1:34Speaker 2: you're about to listen to.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I have a great idea for a TV show. Tom, Yes,
- 1:41Speaker 2: we hope everybody had a wonderful week, and thank you
- 1:43Speaker 2: for timing in on the last week's podcast. We're scarce
- 1:45Speaker 2: on Nicetias at the Tom and Jerry Show. We just
- 1:47Speaker 2: kind of get into it. Great idea for a TV show.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Come on, come on, stop.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Okay teasing you're familiar with, like say American pickers and
- 1:55Speaker 2: storage wars and the kind of thing I did.
- 1:58Speaker 1: They kind of fell off a cliff a small bit
- 2:00Speaker 1: for me. But there's new lads on TikTok now that
- 2:02Speaker 1: are picket or going to storeage jokes and you know,
- 2:06Speaker 1: I mean, I don't hate it, but I can you know, well.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Like Storage Wars has to be about
- 2:11Speaker 2: fifteen years old at this stage, and there's only so
- 2:13Speaker 2: often you can see why his hope through it. This
- 2:15Speaker 2: is why you need a new show to get you
- 2:17Speaker 2: going right. Yes, all right, so picture this. Okay, how
- 2:23Speaker 2: about there is a team of people, wealthy individuals or whatnot,
- 2:27Speaker 2: or speculators, shall we say, and they buy up busted
- 2:33Speaker 2: up old farms in Ireland. Okay, So the farmer has
- 2:38Speaker 2: lived and passed away and his decrepit fucking farmhouse or whatnot.
- 2:45Speaker 2: It goes up for sale for nothing, and they buy
- 2:47Speaker 2: it up under the notion that somewhere on that farm
- 2:51Speaker 2: there must be buried biscuit tins full of money. Right
- 2:59Speaker 2: somehow lived alone in five or ten acres and had
- 3:05Speaker 2: a barn or what there has to be a biscuiting
- 3:08Speaker 2: for the money somewhere on that premises.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It is a very old joke, but I mean it'd
- 3:13Speaker 1: be kind of like the ideal thing would be to
- 3:15Speaker 1: do if if the house is falling down, but sell them,
- 3:18Speaker 1: sell them only the house, but give them the rights
- 3:20Speaker 1: to go looking for the biscuiting, there'll never be a biscuiting.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And eventually what they'll do is they'll end up plowing
- 3:26Speaker 1: the entire place for you for free, and.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You still get a farm out of it. But like
- 3:31Speaker 2: there's it's got that sort of course of Oak Island
- 3:33Speaker 2: kind of treator hunt, you know, prospecting to it and
- 3:37Speaker 2: what have we got up to? What have we got
- 3:39Speaker 2: the old fireplace.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I don't know if you know much about our have
- 3:43Speaker 1: you forgotten all about Irish ruurleal living and whatnot? But
- 3:47Speaker 1: they most definitely Episode one, Farm one, they will find
- 3:50Speaker 1: the body somewhere on you're joking me, without a doubt
- 3:57Speaker 1: it the end of series. That is done. Fucking can it?
- 4:00Speaker 1: That's not making it off the fucking god, that's it.
- 4:02Speaker 2: That's I don't have it. I don't have a name
- 4:04Speaker 2: for the show, Tom, but it is that sort of
- 4:08Speaker 2: so American pickers. They're going looking for antiques and antiquities
- 4:12Speaker 2: and storage wars. They're looking for antiques and antiquities and
- 4:15Speaker 2: audities and things they can sell. Tom, I'm talking about
- 4:18Speaker 2: old hard nineteen fifties punts, each one of the size
- 4:23Speaker 2: of a fool's cap page.
- 4:25Speaker 1: So maybe you're like, we need to get we need
- 4:27Speaker 1: to obviously bring in an American audience too if we're
- 4:30Speaker 1: going to be selling it. So the only way I
- 4:31Speaker 1: could think about that in time one into the other
- 4:33Speaker 1: would be maybe because you reckon it's going to be
- 4:35Speaker 1: in a biscuitings called it USA has sorted fiddlers or something,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, because it's going to be a biscuiting with
- 4:42Speaker 1: you from USA s orted biscuits, maybe we can get
- 4:44Speaker 1: something down that line. Like that's the only way I
- 4:46Speaker 1: can think it's gonna work, because there.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Are no It could also be in an old like
- 4:50Speaker 2: an old Tait and lyle U. Can you can call
- 4:53Speaker 2: it something like treakaly money or whatever. I don't know,
- 4:57Speaker 2: but like that's that's all I'm gonna say. Never trusted by,
- 5:02Speaker 2: never buy the farm, Never trusted the banks has a
- 5:05Speaker 2: Coleman's Moster jar with a thousand old ponds in it. Someone,
- 5:09Speaker 2: do you know? I mean, that's a poor investment to
- 5:10Speaker 2: buy a farm and only get a thousand points. But
- 5:12Speaker 2: just thinking about it, Tom, I think it's a wonderful promises.
- 5:14Speaker 1: I I you know what, Normally I would definitely edit
- 5:16Speaker 1: out a class idea and uh, you know, and not
- 5:21Speaker 1: letting in the podcast in case somebody steals our idea.
- 5:24Speaker 1: But just this once, Jair, I'm gonna let this one run.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So listen back to this podcast is not a case
- 5:31Speaker 2: of Welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show segment.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Jesus, Chris, did you literally think that, like you stood
- 5:40Speaker 1: there with your neighbor going, jeez, man, if we could
- 5:42Speaker 1: just get a few quid together and start buying farms up,
- 5:45Speaker 1: they're just.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Gonna buy one because then what you get on that
- 5:47Speaker 2: first farm will pay for the next month. You get
- 5:49Speaker 2: some you get some farm there below in junior body
- 5:54Speaker 2: James Duff or somewhere like that.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Oh for sure you are, you will have. You will
- 5:58Speaker 1: have the governmentspitality tea down and down here, because without
- 6:01Speaker 1: a doubt they're gonna be in white as mad Suit's
- 6:03Speaker 1: intents up in no time. There will be bodies glower
- 6:07Speaker 1: found all over in Virginia and then kind of granary
- 6:10Speaker 1: and you're heading into Oh no, no, no, no, no
- 6:11Speaker 1: no no, no, stay out there.
- 6:14Speaker 2: You'd be there just picking stuff up. But what do
- 6:17Speaker 2: you found there? Like I kind of kind of bricks
- 6:19Speaker 2: the stuff. Only it's kind of the reason four stand for.
- 6:24Speaker 1: They're the reason why they have the Pumpkin Festival in Virginia.
- 6:27Speaker 1: In Cavin, it's because they're grown pump No funing in
- 6:30Speaker 1: Cavin wants to grow pumpkins and sell them in They're
- 6:33Speaker 1: just hiding stuff amongst the pumpkins, that's all. Whether it's
- 6:38Speaker 1: or bodies one or the other, they're not. Nobody eats
- 6:42Speaker 1: pumpkin in Ireland. They're stinking yolks.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I mean, you're not wrong.
- 6:46Speaker 1: There's the most nice.
- 6:48Speaker 2: They're nice. They're nice to watch rot over a four
- 6:50Speaker 2: week period.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And but their class that is, if you could, I
- 6:52Speaker 1: love to actually have a really good camera to be
- 6:54Speaker 1: able to do what they're amazing to do, and we
- 6:55Speaker 1: must do it someday. Is is to shoot off a fence.
- 6:58Speaker 1: They're really really fun to shoot. Yeah, class that that's
- 7:04Speaker 1: the only use I can think of pumpkins anybody else.
- 7:07Speaker 1: The birds won't eat it, Nothing will eat them. I
- 7:10Speaker 1: have tried through all this hards of wildlife, even as
- 7:12Speaker 1: American fucking squirrels or that they're all getting jacked by
- 7:15Speaker 1: the pine martin around here at the minute of this
- 7:16Speaker 1: class and the orange fellows are thriving. But even the
- 7:20Speaker 1: American squirrels were like, man, I ain't touching it, and
- 7:24Speaker 1: that's exactly what they said me back to.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Well, listen, just in case you do want to make
- 7:29Speaker 2: a hard edit, in case you come back around on
- 7:31Speaker 2: Farm Moores or whatever the hell we call this. But
- 7:34Speaker 2: if you just to give you the opportunity of hitting
- 7:37Speaker 2: all that nonsense out, we're going to come in here
- 7:39Speaker 2: with it.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So moving on with the show. I'm not don't be

- 8:51Speaker 2: a constantly chef from the landscape.
- 8:53Speaker 1: If really.
- 8:53Speaker 2: With that being said, let's move on with the show.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Tom to our first segment. Okay, because it wasn't just
- 8:59Speaker 2: wonderful ideas, but storage war style TV shows set in
- 9:04Speaker 2: rural Ireland that we've been having this week. There's been
- 9:06Speaker 2: no other news, big news, crazy news, world changing news, Tom,
- 9:10Speaker 2: and we sum it all up in a segment that
- 9:13Speaker 2: we call the weekly Word have You. This is a
- 9:16Speaker 2: very complicated case, mad you know, a lot of outs,
- 9:19Speaker 2: a lot of what have you, and a lot of
- 9:22Speaker 2: strands to keep in my head.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Man, we hit you with the hard ones everybody every week.
- 9:27Speaker 1: People are like, I can't believe the guys really went
- 9:29Speaker 1: after that. That's exactly what it was. On the tip
- 9:31Speaker 1: every week. We I think we hit we nail it
- 9:34Speaker 1: every week and this week is no different chair every week.
- 9:37Speaker 2: That was the big news.
- 9:38Speaker 1: The hottest topics is on the go right now. I
- 9:41Speaker 1: can times that I can't believe that if we got
- 9:43Speaker 1: out in front of this. This is amazing, This is
- 9:45Speaker 1: a scoop.
- 9:46Speaker 2: This is the Woodward and Berenstein.
- 9:48Speaker 1: We should nearly release this early as a result of
- 9:51Speaker 1: how hot off the top, hot off the top, this.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Is hold the front page. This is coming through.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Cattle gallstones insanely valuable. Are the new must have item
- 10:01Speaker 1: in global smuggling rings.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I mean, won't give it to me one more time.
- 10:06Speaker 1: They're cattle gallstones. They're they're insane insanely that and they
- 10:10Speaker 1: are now they must have item in global smuggling rings,
- 10:15Speaker 1: like you know the smuggling rings we've been involved in.
- 10:17Speaker 2: No, Tom, Tom, it's not the smuggling rings that I'm
- 10:20Speaker 2: struggling with here. What I know what a smuggling ring is. Oh,
- 10:24Speaker 2: what I gotta ask is what value does a cattle
- 10:29Speaker 2: gallstone have? What are you talking about, buddy?
- 10:33Speaker 1: What? It's a mysteriously light them the inner workings of
- 10:35Speaker 1: a cow. Much like you know, we have gallstones. They
- 10:38Speaker 1: have gallstones too, but they tend to have them on
- 10:40Speaker 1: a regular basis, like nearly every one of them will
- 10:42Speaker 1: have them at this stage. They're hard, they're gross little
- 10:47Speaker 1: things for a finish. They're they're basically hardened little lumps
- 10:50Speaker 1: of stomach boil if I remember correctly.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a particular type of bile produced by the
- 10:55Speaker 2: gall bladder. I know because people and people in the
- 10:57Speaker 2: family have had gallstones outdown through the and any time
- 11:00Speaker 2: anybody in the and their uncle or whatever or cousin, whoever,
- 11:04Speaker 2: ever whoms, whoever it might be, be like she is
- 11:06Speaker 2: very severe outive gallstones and they have to, you know, to
- 11:10Speaker 2: have to get rid of them. This kind of thing.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Some of them, like I depended on the quality. I
- 11:14Speaker 1: don't know how you engage the quality, but you know
- 11:16Speaker 1: that there is quality gaugers gaugees when it comes to everything.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I mean, there's people who can gauge, you know, quality
- 11:22Speaker 1: control when it comes to things. Some of these little nuggets,
- 11:25Speaker 1: these gall stones are they're actually valued at twice the
- 11:29Speaker 1: price of gold. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that?
- 11:33Speaker 2: I can't imagine it?
- 11:34Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, But now you're asking why why cattle, Why
- 11:38Speaker 1: are they suddenly see the passage? I mean, as always
- 11:42Speaker 1: you know my issues with the Chinese, we've had it
- 11:45Speaker 1: with We've had it down through the years. But it's
- 11:47Speaker 1: used in Chinese by them. Buys will find anything, they
- 11:51Speaker 1: will use for it. If it's an ant fucking aimus,
- 11:54Speaker 1: they will find the use for it. There's some lads
- 11:56Speaker 1: to give them their due with the Chinese tradition. Men
- 11:58Speaker 1: just medicine, which is valid around sixty billion med the medicine,
- 12:03Speaker 1: the medicine market when it comes to it, by the who.
- 12:08Speaker 1: But essentially they've started pushing this unbelievable want for gallstones.
- 12:13Speaker 1: They're even trying to induce them in herds, but with
- 12:16Speaker 1: certain feeds, so.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Like the way that the way that they plump up
- 12:20Speaker 2: a duck's liver with, like for foie gras or whatnot.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 12:23Speaker 2: They're trying to induce gallstones and cows. Tom, I'm looking
- 12:27Speaker 2: at a cow's gallstone here now and it's it's it's
- 12:31Speaker 2: it's gross. Like for anybody that is wanting to imagine
- 12:35Speaker 2: what a capple gallstone looks like, imagine a pebble or
- 12:37Speaker 2: a rock. They're not necessarily smooth or round or shiny
- 12:41Speaker 2: or anything like that. It's just imagine a rock, only
- 12:43Speaker 2: like it's orange color, sort of like pumpkiny orange. To
- 12:47Speaker 2: bring it back, and it's it's gross. Imagine if you
- 12:51Speaker 2: were you know that, like you know, like that did
- 12:53Speaker 2: not make that you shake out in your coffee or whatnot.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Would imagine the inside of that got damp and it
- 12:57Speaker 2: just formed like a hard lump.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Well, there ones, the cattle ones you see, I think
- 13:02Speaker 1: they're I think they're kind of a high high grade
- 13:06Speaker 1: of calcium tends to build up in their ones for
- 13:08Speaker 1: whatever reason. They're different than our ones. So they're kind
- 13:11Speaker 1: of calcium based. So I mean, I don't know.
- 13:15Speaker 2: So Okay, that leads me to my next question. Why
- 13:17Speaker 2: you are our goalston does not work? Not?
- 13:19Speaker 1: No, they're not worth a shit.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Horses, pigs, sheep, geese.
- 13:25Speaker 1: It would seem that they're just a calcium amount from
- 13:27Speaker 1: eating that much fresh grass.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Apparently.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Okay, the one that sets it off this stuff when
- 13:33Speaker 1: you hear the numbers here, the numbers give it me.
- 13:36Speaker 1: So these little nuggets can fetch more than an ounce.
- 13:43Speaker 1: That's twice as that's twice as much as eat inccar
- 13:46Speaker 1: of gold on most markets, like Jesus and Mary and Joseph,
- 13:53Speaker 1: and they're talking about killing column two hundred thousand because
- 13:56Speaker 1: they're frightened that they're farting too much? Are you joking me?
- 13:59Speaker 1: Are you joking me? We would get ourselves out of
- 14:01Speaker 1: any national debate by just looking after the fucking gall
- 14:04Speaker 1: bladders of our fucking cols. Are you joking me?
- 14:08Speaker 2: So my question now is all this, Tom? Now that
- 14:11Speaker 2: we know what gallstones are and that they are a
- 14:13Speaker 2: valuable commodity for their it seems to me spurious health properties.
- 14:17Speaker 2: But then again, nobody's paying this much for snake oil,
- 14:20Speaker 2: so they must do something.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Well.
- 14:23Speaker 2: H So our job now, Tom, sorry, our job now
- 14:27Speaker 2: is podcast is just to tell five or six jokes
- 14:29Speaker 2: about this and wrap it up. Yeah, real stoners, Ah,
- 14:36Speaker 2: how do we get on this?
- 14:37Speaker 1: How do I?
- 14:38Speaker 2: How do I turn gallstones into cold hard cash? Now
- 14:41Speaker 2: you say smugglers? Why is this illegal? It seems like
- 14:43Speaker 2: if a gallstone is just like something that comes out
- 14:46Speaker 2: of a cow, shouldn't these be being sold by, you know,
- 14:50Speaker 2: just for all across the country.
- 14:52Speaker 1: You see, here's the thing, and have already got the
- 14:54Speaker 1: feelers out. Never mind your TV show, right, So at
- 14:57Speaker 1: the moment, at the moment, they are allowed to be
- 15:00Speaker 1: sold legally. But of course there's a big hour of
- 15:03Speaker 1: attacks on these things when they bring them.
- 15:06Speaker 2: In legal because it's medical, it's medically.
- 15:09Speaker 1: See, they're considered like the Chinese buys. They dry them down,
- 15:13Speaker 1: rush them, as they do with everything from everything from
- 15:15Speaker 1: tiger penis to cow's gallstones. That's what that's the range.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I will I will say with the gallstones people, if
- 15:21Speaker 2: you think in they're hard or like that, they look
- 15:23Speaker 2: like the kind of thing that you could theoretically like
- 15:25Speaker 2: crushing your hand.
- 15:26Speaker 1: You've got to dry them up. You gotta dry them
- 15:28Speaker 1: up with thesey oaks, right, But apparently it helps treat
- 15:31Speaker 1: serious conditions like strokes.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Knows. Yeah, you need a couple of breakthroughs on that,
- 15:38Speaker 2: I suppose.
- 15:39Speaker 1: So they hide them in hidden compartments. The lad's stinking across.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. We're in beef. I live in
- 15:46Speaker 1: beef country down here, and I'm pretty sure your average
- 15:48Speaker 1: farmer does not know that the gallstones are something that
- 15:50Speaker 1: are getting used. But there's an embargo at the moment
- 15:54Speaker 1: on Chinese and Irish products in the way of beef
- 15:56Speaker 1: going to China because c or something was picked up
- 16:01Speaker 1: in some place up your Neckadi woods I believe about
- 16:04Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, and they still are
- 16:05Speaker 1: kind of gone. It's not it's got a clear up. Guys.
- 16:08Speaker 1: It's gotta.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that you even lived there.
- 16:14Speaker 2: I have no I will mean no home place, so
- 16:18Speaker 2: that makes more sense you will not.
- 16:20Speaker 1: You know how hilarious that be if just somebody started
- 16:23Speaker 1: farming in like a green area of some loveliest state,
- 16:26Speaker 1: like just just when I listened to grass lads, fucky,
- 16:29Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a big round feeder you some morning. I
- 16:33Speaker 1: do know if we put the better use of what
- 16:35Speaker 1: just some lad had quickly fenced it off at a big
- 16:37Speaker 1: ground feeder or a big silent bel rapped in the
- 16:39Speaker 1: middle of a party cattle national.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Yes, what the okay? So like when we're talking smugglers here,
- 16:48Speaker 2: are we talking Jack Borton or what are we doing?
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're gonna have to hide this right, So
- 16:53Speaker 1: we're gonna have to make a few trips to China.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Although I reckon we could meet these lads, I reckon
- 16:59Speaker 1: the led to be good to meet in that Germany.
- 17:02Speaker 1: I think they'd be good to meet us in Germany.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I have put out the feelers and yeah, a crowd
- 17:09Speaker 1: from uh A Gong. They're a Chinese medicinal company. They
- 17:15Speaker 1: have a kind of a I suppose they have a
- 17:18Speaker 1: base in Germany. So all we need to do is
- 17:21Speaker 1: get them out of the cows, which I already have
- 17:24Speaker 1: a line for that.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Oh you got a guy, you got to you got
- 17:27Speaker 2: a gallstone guy.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I got a gallstone guy. Now we're gonna have to
- 17:29Speaker 1: take him through the channels. We can't really once about,
- 17:33Speaker 1: you know. I mean, we could sell any agri product
- 17:36Speaker 1: out of Ireland. Putting the Irish stamp on it puts
- 17:38Speaker 1: like ten percent on nearly it beats everybody because of
- 17:41Speaker 1: a very agriculture. Because we're selling them to the Chinese guys.
- 17:45Speaker 1: But I reckon, what we need to do is not
- 17:47Speaker 1: sell them to China. I reckon, we need to start
- 17:52Speaker 1: selling to the Chinese lets that are living throughout Europe,
- 17:54Speaker 1: right and we set up our own and why stop there?
- 17:58Speaker 1: I reckon, we set up our own Chinese medicine outlet.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Look at all these CBD crowds and these vapor crowds,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and there's all sorts opening up.
- 18:07Speaker 2: There's a hitching your giddy up there, buddy, because neither
- 18:09Speaker 2: of us are Chinese.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Why would that stop us? Why why would you be
- 18:16Speaker 1: why would you put a stop and block like that,
- 18:18Speaker 1: like because we are coping ofilos like us can't go
- 18:21Speaker 1: ahead and sell to the Chinese lets.
- 18:22Speaker 2: But it's not like we can just rock up and
- 18:25Speaker 2: you know, become Turkish barbers.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Here one second, the lady that puts puts up the
- 18:32Speaker 1: posters for me in her Chinese in our local town
- 18:36Speaker 1: care is absolutely lovely, and I'd have no doubt, I
- 18:39Speaker 1: in fact, gon end out in my mind that she
- 18:43Speaker 1: could set us up. She's got loads of friends that
- 18:46Speaker 1: are funny enough for all Chinese. I reckon, we start there,
- 18:49Speaker 1: start small with the goldstones. We start suggesting, you know,
- 18:52Speaker 1: it's good for strokes and whatnot. We move slowly, we
- 18:55Speaker 1: don't have to go crazy. We start with maybe a
- 18:57Speaker 1: couple of badgers ears, you know what I mean. We
- 19:00Speaker 1: move on then, and before wing over, we're at horses noses,
- 19:03Speaker 1: and then we're we're in the money. We're walking around
- 19:05Speaker 1: two of us, four coats on load the rings, and
- 19:08Speaker 1: we're selling tiger penises. I tell me, just don't see anything.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Stop at us. In fact, there's absolutely nothing but green
- 19:15Speaker 1: lights in my planet.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Yeah, how do you
- 19:22Speaker 2: get a gall stone out of cow? Because I know
- 19:24Speaker 2: if you've got if you or I have gallstones with
- 19:26Speaker 2: the blasted with like ultrasonic lasers or some shit, and
- 19:29Speaker 2: then you you them out or you might I don't know.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, much like I had to explain where steak
- 19:37Speaker 1: came from to my young filager doesn't fall off the cow,
- 19:43Speaker 1: all right, the gallstones also won't. Just like the cow
- 19:47Speaker 1: won't turn up to us on a Thursday and say
- 19:50Speaker 1: with a little, you know, little silken purse hanging off
- 19:53Speaker 1: its neck, going, I collected these for you throughout the week,
- 19:56Speaker 1: mister McBride and mister AMENI could you pat, you know,
- 20:00Speaker 1: pay me some ingress from my gold stones? No, unfortuately,
- 20:05Speaker 1: we've gotta we gotta go in and we gotta go
- 20:08Speaker 1: get them that wager. And yeah, listen, it's a byproduct
- 20:13Speaker 1: of the burger that you're probably thinking about eating right now.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Well, okay, so that just means that means to me,
- 20:17Speaker 2: like you know, any man that works in the slaughterhouse
- 20:22Speaker 2: surely is just like raking it in wouldn't you think,
- 20:27Speaker 2: But you see it takes Maybe they're not wise to it.
- 20:33Speaker 1: That's exactly what they're doing. They're not wise to it.
- 20:35Speaker 1: They're not wise. They're looking at it going nothing. I
- 20:37Speaker 1: could do nothing with that. There is where you and
- 20:43Speaker 1: me swooping the old Tng Hong Kong connect whatever we're
- 20:49Speaker 1: gonna call our company. We are, I'm telling you now
- 20:54Speaker 1: the lads would be and we'll have the chat. Well
- 20:56Speaker 1: before we know what, we will be rolling in dough
- 20:59Speaker 1: base purely on gall stones out of bovines. And I
- 21:04Speaker 1: am not seeing any product. There's no there's no stopping us.
- 21:08Speaker 2: To be honest, this is this seems to be a
- 21:09Speaker 2: victim of this crime. If the cow is already dead
- 21:11Speaker 2: because he's in the staughterhouse and they don't go in
- 21:13Speaker 2: there for directions. I got to tell you that much. Yeah,
- 21:17Speaker 2: so he's passed away and we hope around and he's cuts.
- 21:21Speaker 2: You know you some you most are you more so
- 21:23Speaker 2: than me? Hope around in these cuts and get the gallstones, yeah,
- 21:29Speaker 2: golfones man, get the gall stones from the gallstones. And
- 21:34Speaker 2: then we just gather up a sack full of gallstones
- 21:36Speaker 2: because I'm assuming like one good gallstone per.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Cow, right, Oh not, there to be a couple of
- 21:41Speaker 1: memn there and.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Those and those guys moved through a plant would be
- 21:44Speaker 2: his best I understand.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, they're turned around pretty pretty quickly.
- 21:50Speaker 1: A good size a good sized plant whir might turn
- 21:53Speaker 1: out two hundreds to three hundreds cattle a day, a
- 21:59Speaker 1: lot of Also, there's a lot of gold. So I'm
- 22:01Speaker 1: saying we're gonna need some big vans, That's all I'm.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Saying, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Body please come on, what
- 22:09Speaker 2: have you smuggled before? Have you never smuggled before in
- 22:12Speaker 2: your life? You need big vans When you have a
- 22:15Speaker 2: big van with a sign on the side of it
- 22:17Speaker 2: and says I'm smuggling. No, have you never card Tom
- 22:23Speaker 2: Nor that's nineteen eighties thinking. You go a headlong into
- 22:29Speaker 2: this thing. You put on your high his vest. Everybody
- 22:32Speaker 2: knows if you have a high visvest on you mean business,
- 22:36Speaker 2: so that it's a double bluff. Then look at you going,
- 22:39Speaker 2: there's no way those guys are sneaking sneaking. God's on
- 22:43Speaker 2: saying no way they're sneaking in because they're so blase
- 22:47Speaker 2: and out there with their big vans and their high
- 22:49Speaker 2: ves vests, and they're looking all official.
- 22:52Speaker 1: They've even got lanyards. We'll get lanyards, Jerry, I don't see.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I can't see how You're no, you can't go over
- 23:00Speaker 2: there lanyard, Tom, I'll tell you that much now.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And look how efficient we would look if
- 23:04Speaker 1: we had lanyards.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I mean true. I remember I've only had a lanyard
- 23:08Speaker 2: on twice or three times, and I really just felt
- 23:10Speaker 2: like a king.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and am I so I'm not wrong? Am I?
- 23:14Speaker 2: You're not wrong. I still don't think we should have
- 23:16Speaker 2: a massive van. I think it should be a smaller
- 23:18Speaker 2: operation than you just do and you do your frame style,
- 23:21Speaker 2: you know, walk out with colstones in your pockets and
- 23:23Speaker 2: like shaken down of your trows.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Are like, well, initially what I thought was getting a
- 23:28Speaker 1: bad source and scene would be be a way we
- 23:30Speaker 1: could actually just go in and maybe and maybe, just
- 23:32Speaker 1: haven't you remember like the Blood Diamond walking a bunch
- 23:35Speaker 1: of goats over a hill and we just I'm walking
- 23:38Speaker 1: a bunch of goats to China might be a bit
- 23:40Speaker 1: tricky with him sewing into the under their skin, but
- 23:42Speaker 1: at the same time that's smuggling at the top end.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Do you know that's to aim for? We're going to
- 23:48Speaker 1: be really well respected smugglers. I think that's something to
- 23:51Speaker 1: aim for. But for the time being, I suppose we'll
- 23:54Speaker 1: go with your car idea. Can we at least have
- 23:55Speaker 1: lanyards and I vesvest though.
- 23:57Speaker 2: We'll do all this, we'll do all this smuggling, Tom.
- 24:00Speaker 2: The next natural thing to happen is that we get
- 24:01Speaker 2: busted by the famous five.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I want to get busted by Scooby Doo.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, just a couple of little British kids, go oh
- 24:09Speaker 2: so a mummy.
- 24:10Speaker 1: He was spaggling ghoststones in his buckets? What's that your bucket?
- 24:16Speaker 2: Son?
- 24:16Speaker 1: That there's bulges in your buckets? Are distinctively like gold stones?
- 24:21Speaker 2: No, no, seven gallstones. And believe those are my lucky
- 24:26Speaker 2: orange rocks, so.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Pure.
- 24:31Speaker 2: And that is the stone of a peach that I
- 24:35Speaker 2: ate for my lunch.
- 24:36Speaker 1: So really, James, was that a giant one? Was it? No?
- 24:41Speaker 1: Those are goallstones. I beg your part.
- 24:45Speaker 2: You know, do you know what we're going to tell you? Tom?
- 24:46Speaker 2: And you said it, you said it a little earlier
- 24:48Speaker 2: there that people were and we'll get off the subject
- 24:53Speaker 2: because there really started to turn stomach people are starting
- 24:57Speaker 2: to sort of instigate gallstones and cattle and what's the
- 25:00Speaker 2: word I'm looking for, propagate them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatnot.
- 25:04Speaker 2: We don't need a load of cows, body, we need
- 25:06Speaker 2: one cow. We need to invest heavily in one cow.
- 25:10Speaker 2: And if if gallstones is caused by eating the finest grasses,
- 25:14Speaker 2: we need to get this cow and we need to
- 25:16Speaker 2: show him a life. You know what, Tom, I beg
- 25:20Speaker 2: your pardon. I've been out of the country for a
- 25:21Speaker 2: little while. We need to get this cow and we
- 25:23Speaker 2: need to show horror life. So just show horror life.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, Tom. We need to be respectful here. We
- 25:32Speaker 1: need to show them.
- 25:33Speaker 2: We need to show themal life. But like here we go,
- 25:37Speaker 2: get this animal, show them a life of grass welt
- 25:42Speaker 2: that they've never known before, shipping grass from all over
- 25:45Speaker 2: the place and have that nice thing in it, like
- 25:46Speaker 2: with the syllae. What's that salt that you put into
- 25:48Speaker 2: with that? They're like, get all that, get all that
- 25:50Speaker 2: good stuff and feed them to a ripe old age
- 25:53Speaker 2: and get a gall stone out of them the size.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Of a block like the golden goose. That lady, do
- 26:00Speaker 1: you want any of the beefs or any of the
- 26:02Speaker 1: filets or any No, no, no, you can keep all
- 26:04Speaker 1: that rubbish give me.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Can you can keep all that, But I just want
- 26:09Speaker 2: the gall stone. And it's just like and then like
- 26:11Speaker 2: as as I as I created the gallstone in my hand,
- 26:14Speaker 2: like it's a newborn in like we've done it, Tom,
- 26:16Speaker 2: I don't know, is you coming up behind me with
- 26:18Speaker 2: a shotgun? No, no, no, we've done it, Tom, We've
- 26:23Speaker 2: done it. And you'd be like I've done it.
- 26:25Speaker 1: You put in all that effort, right and there you are,
- 26:27Speaker 1: you're you're you're got to beg of sond and you're
- 26:30Speaker 1: trying to gauge the way to the beg of nd
- 26:31Speaker 1: and you're just gonna swap it out the next thing
- 26:34Speaker 1: you take this golden nuggety looking idol and then you
- 26:38Speaker 1: have to go running back through the farmyard and different
- 26:41Speaker 1: things are falling on You've got to roll under and
- 26:42Speaker 1: you're needly leave your hat behind you underneath like the
- 26:45Speaker 1: slider or only to meet me and a bunch of
- 26:49Speaker 1: my minions will blow down.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Or like you know, like you know, the next day
- 26:56Speaker 2: or whatever. It would be like a situation the cops
- 26:59Speaker 2: rock up to the farmer. There's you and me lying
- 27:01Speaker 2: dead in the middle of the of the of the
- 27:03Speaker 2: of the concrete, like you know, with a big massive
- 27:05Speaker 2: golstone beside us. It's clear that we've just mouled each
- 27:08Speaker 2: other to death.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Not again, not again.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Since the inspector, you've been losing more and more farmers
- 27:16Speaker 2: like this, And I sell this and get lad in
- 27:18Speaker 2: here to perch an because I know there's a biscuit
- 27:20Speaker 2: ain of money around here somewhere.
- 27:24Speaker 1: As you find a biscuiting full of collstones.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Oh my god, well, Tom, what can we say? Well,
- 27:35Speaker 2: the smuggle in the gallstones.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we can say. You are welcome
- 27:38Speaker 1: everybody for bringing you some of the top news from
- 27:40Speaker 1: around the world.
- 27:41Speaker 2: And look at you use all that there invested in
- 27:43Speaker 2: crypto callstones, baby idiots. Jesus Christ. You know what I'm
- 27:49Speaker 2: telling you, ladies. If you're right at the bar and
- 27:51Speaker 2: you see a man with like orange hands that he
- 27:53Speaker 2: can't appear to clean, that's your man. That's your man.
- 27:56Speaker 2: That's a keeper right there.
- 27:58Speaker 1: He might have been eating the ritos or anything. It's
- 28:02Speaker 1: like like the top of ware. After it's like, maybe
- 28:07Speaker 1: maybe do a bit more. A couple of questions, just
- 28:09Speaker 1: a couple of questions go.
- 28:10Speaker 2: With, well, I tell you, when you're done talking to
- 28:13Speaker 2: that lad, you know who you can talk to, Not
- 28:15Speaker 2: the next lade, not the next night after that, But
- 28:17Speaker 2: you got to talk to a very specific lad, Tom,
- 28:20Speaker 2: the lad that we discuss every week in the in
- 28:23Speaker 2: the in the second we call this lade.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Now there's that guy by Have we gone down this
- 28:31Speaker 1: road before?
- 28:32Speaker 2: Literally have been down this road? Well, Tom, everybody gets
- 28:36Speaker 2: a chance to be this lide, animal, vegetable, mineral. This
- 28:39Speaker 2: lad is more than a lad, the man and this
- 28:43Speaker 2: is a state of mind.
- 28:44Speaker 1: It's a take me away from the city.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Yes, in this in this instance, this lad is a
- 28:54Speaker 2: lad who retired this week. As Tom has given you
- 28:57Speaker 2: a clue there, it's the forty six a bus. Don't
- 29:00Speaker 2: you know this week, this forty six bag tell will
- 29:06Speaker 2: never retire. I knew the boy went to see Baguitel
- 29:09Speaker 2: a couple of years ago and they opened with Summer
- 29:11Speaker 2: in Dublin, and I'm like, God, Damn, that's going to
- 29:13Speaker 2: be going a long night. Jesus.
- 29:15Speaker 1: No, you hold, you hold onto the goal, you hold
- 29:17Speaker 1: onto the gold.
- 29:18Speaker 2: There Paul Brady, I think he said they played it
- 29:20Speaker 2: like three or four times. Of course it is.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Of course it is so.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Regardless of which they did mention the forty six A,
- 29:26Speaker 2: which was Hey, Tom, I got to be honestwitch, and
- 29:29Speaker 2: this is what we're going to get into here, Okay,
- 29:31Speaker 2: the forty six A. We're just going to say what
- 29:32Speaker 2: it was was a long standing bus route which shock
- 29:35Speaker 2: you from the city center of Dublin down on the
- 29:39Speaker 2: side side Va Donnybrook, which is where but a number
- 29:43Speaker 2: of movers and shakers live in Dublin. It's been on
- 29:47Speaker 2: the go for about one hundred years and it was
- 29:50Speaker 2: retired as part of the new bus corridors that are
- 29:54Speaker 2: going in all around the city. This is happening left
- 29:57Speaker 2: right in the center of my own thirty nine bus
- 30:00Speaker 2: out here, I believe is getting replaced, and they're all
- 30:01Speaker 2: getting replaced by like the six bees and the I
- 30:04Speaker 2: fifteen's and all this kind of crack. Everything's getting changed.
- 30:07Speaker 2: That's progress, right what what?
- 30:09Speaker 1: What are they just changing the name of as buses
- 30:11Speaker 1: or they actually building new roads from.
- 30:13Speaker 2: See that this is the thing. They're not building anything new,
- 30:15Speaker 2: but through time, through time. In three years, Tom, things
- 30:18Speaker 2: have changed and certain routes are not I guess either
- 30:23Speaker 2: profitable or you know, there's no sense in going around
- 30:25Speaker 2: that loop because nobody lives there anymore. Or they're put
- 30:27Speaker 2: in the dart station there and blah blah blah. Jimmy quick,
- 30:31Speaker 2: Jodie got married. You don't need the forty.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Why are they quit? You know my asking? Maybe you'd
- 30:35Speaker 1: know more on this now. I used to get the
- 30:37Speaker 1: forty six because I lived out in caln't skid that
- 30:40Speaker 1: kind of neckadi woods for a good while. But why
- 30:42Speaker 1: are they getting rid of it? Because that bastard was
- 30:46Speaker 1: packed every single one.
- 30:48Speaker 2: No, it still will be packed. It's just going to
- 30:50Speaker 2: be called I don't know what the hell it's gonna
- 30:51Speaker 2: be called the IA or the I fifteen or something.
- 30:56Speaker 1: That's what it is, right, Oh Jesus, You know forty.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Six a bus replace placement is the sixth A on
- 31:03Speaker 2: the East Spine, So there you go, all right.
- 31:06Speaker 1: I mean they make it sound like Dublin roads are
- 31:08Speaker 1: in straight lines, you know, the.
- 31:09Speaker 2: East Spine, and it's the Piccadilly Line.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. It was a winding piece of tarmac that
- 31:16Speaker 1: was laid behind the meandering cow with gallstones, do you
- 31:19Speaker 1: know what I mean? And then they build houses around.
- 31:21Speaker 2: That, right, So watch me here and now, Tom.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Why is it this?
- 31:27Speaker 2: Lad? Okay, here's the thing. It's a buss, Tom, Yeah,
- 31:31Speaker 2: it's a buss. But people in Dublin are acting like
- 31:36Speaker 2: you tore the GPO there?
- 31:39Speaker 1: Really do you know what? That doesn't surprise me in
- 31:41Speaker 1: the least. They latch onto those fucking chimneys out on
- 31:45Speaker 1: this and they latch onto this like the most innate
- 31:49Speaker 1: ship that makes things nostalgically Dublin like.
- 31:52Speaker 3: It's like a tone down Oh yeah, pinting the grave
- 31:56Speaker 3: diggers forty six, stopping bash for some chips, going to
- 32:01Speaker 3: the temple bar bar, get stabbed in the face, Oh yeah,
- 32:05Speaker 3: Rugby in the Lansdowne Road, and then back home to
- 32:10Speaker 3: wherever it is to shoot a pheasant whatever they do
- 32:12Speaker 3: in their houses, I don't know.
- 32:15Speaker 2: But Tom, it's and I stress this again, a bus.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and the bus will see still be the same
- 32:22Speaker 1: bus with you know the you know, the imminent you know,
- 32:26Speaker 1: feeling of death. I hated them. I hated the bus.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I hate city buses. I hate them.
- 32:34Speaker 2: I hate all the buses. I wonder where I am
- 32:36Speaker 2: on buses. Me and Tom forged the friendship through our
- 32:40Speaker 2: mutual hatred of buses. The first thing that we started
- 32:42Speaker 2: talking about.
- 32:43Speaker 1: I can't stand buses.
- 32:44Speaker 2: They're to me, what's your name again, Tom, Tom, Do
- 32:47Speaker 2: you like buses? He was like no. I was like,
- 32:48Speaker 2: I think we're going to We're going to get it on.
- 32:51Speaker 1: You know, even before podcasts where we're thinking or even created,
- 32:54Speaker 1: we're like, at some point we should just sit down
- 32:55Speaker 1: and talk about her.
- 32:57Speaker 2: We need to find a way to tell people about this.
- 32:59Speaker 1: I hate busses.
- 33:00Speaker 2: I'll tell you straight and honest, straight to your face.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Why I hate busses. Many reasons, but one of them
- 33:04Speaker 2: is this. No tilet on the bus. No tilet on
- 33:06Speaker 2: the bus. There's a tilet on a train. If you're
- 33:07Speaker 2: going to a journey and you're like, oh, I don't
- 33:09Speaker 2: feel really comfortable, you can go to the toilet. You're
- 33:11Speaker 2: on a bus, you just forget about it. You're saying
- 33:13Speaker 2: with that the whole way home.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Every every bus. And I've been on a lot of
- 33:17Speaker 1: the coaches, let's say, coaches from you know, up and
- 33:20Speaker 1: out of the country when it comes to going home
- 33:22Speaker 1: from college, going to play a lot of rugby around
- 33:25Speaker 1: in the entire country, and you I've never been on one,
- 33:29Speaker 1: and they all go ah, we have a toilet on board.
- 33:30Speaker 1: You go, you do? Yeah, the one and one maybe
- 33:34Speaker 1: twice in the entire beam on buses with toilets twice
- 33:38Speaker 1: they've actually be functioning toilets the rest of the time. No,
- 33:41Speaker 1: and what happens.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a toilet to the door open? Ah,
- 33:46Speaker 2: you have me there. Yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Well, the two times that it was a functioning toilet,
- 33:50Speaker 1: some beast went in before and didn't just take like
- 33:52Speaker 1: a slash, do you know what I mean? Absolutely went
- 33:55Speaker 1: in and obliterated. And you're like, well, that's the entire
- 33:57Speaker 1: Now you've shipping all about space. Thank you very.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Vangua for that, mother wonder. And I particularly, I particularly
- 34:06Speaker 2: dislike doublin busses, and I look like the double decker
- 34:08Speaker 2: and I don't like the way it sways, and I
- 34:09Speaker 2: always feel like they're gonna keel over, and they're generally
- 34:13Speaker 2: just not a nice mode of transport. So if you
- 34:17Speaker 2: feel like I'm being hard on the forty six A no, no,
- 34:20Speaker 2: not at all. I hit all buses. I don't care
- 34:22Speaker 2: where they go.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Absolutely agreed, one hundred and ten percent. I there's nothing
- 34:30Speaker 1: enjoyable about a bus.
- 34:32Speaker 2: No, Like, I don't care if this was the forty
- 34:34Speaker 2: six A that you went into town. And know I
- 34:36Speaker 2: used to go into town.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I used to this where I met your mother was
- 34:39Speaker 1: on the forty six REDI we.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Have such fond memories of the forty six A. I
- 34:44Speaker 2: guarantee you don't I promise you don't.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Know as a smell like vomit, you know what I mean?
- 34:49Speaker 1: And I guarantee that where you can have nostalgia with
- 34:51Speaker 1: something where somebody probably pissed on. Do you know what
- 34:54Speaker 1: I mean? On the previous route like this thing, you
- 34:56Speaker 1: don't take it home? You know it isn't like where
- 34:59Speaker 1: you can. You know it's not that it's in any
- 35:02Speaker 1: way yours in two seconds. The bus driver would throw
- 35:05Speaker 1: you off if he didn't like to look at you
- 35:07Speaker 1: like you.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Hate the side of you. If he lets you on
- 35:08Speaker 2: in the fourth place and he hates the side of you,
- 35:10Speaker 2: the bus driver wasn't like, hello, their son. Why don't
- 35:13Speaker 2: you jump on the bus. Yes, of course, I'll take
- 35:15Speaker 2: a fifty Why you need change? Yeah, nobody, here you go. Yes,
- 35:19Speaker 2: leaf card doesn't work you twenty cent short? Don't worry
- 35:22Speaker 2: about it? Jump on? No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
- 35:26Speaker 1: The bleakness of going on. I've I have no fun
- 35:31Speaker 1: memories whatsoever. All I can think of is wet windows.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Buses maybe don't suit Ireland at all, wet windows on
- 35:39Speaker 1: the inside. You're like, well, and I know you're saying
- 35:42Speaker 1: that you're listening on going. The two lads have been
- 35:43Speaker 1: right snaps here. Now I live in a city. I
- 35:45Speaker 1: don't have a care. Fine, that's you, that's your bag.
- 35:49Speaker 1: But sometimes some horses are meant to run, you know
- 35:53Speaker 1: what I mean, and being dictated to by every ambastard
- 35:57Speaker 1: then needs to stop to get up like and I
- 36:01Speaker 1: understand the premise of it. Of course you have to
- 36:03Speaker 1: be communal. Do you know what buses ar? There? They
- 36:06Speaker 1: are the product of communism, just gonna say it. They
- 36:09Speaker 1: are an allegory, an allegory for com.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Right here, productism. I knew you was the next thing.
- 36:16Speaker 1: They're an allegory for for comedy. I mean they may
- 36:20Speaker 1: put the hammer and sickle crost on the front of
- 36:22Speaker 1: every bus that has ever been driven anywhere, just saying,
- 36:27Speaker 1: do you know the only bus I would ever tolerate
- 36:30Speaker 1: would be like something that they you know, they have
- 36:33Speaker 1: from Metallica, and it's like, okay, this is your bus.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Or you want to just stop right now, you want
- 36:39Speaker 1: to do anything. Oh, you've got to bed a sauna
- 36:41Speaker 1: and you you know what I mean. You've got you know,
- 36:44Speaker 1: a whole PlayStation room and there exactly copious amounts of
- 36:51Speaker 1: everything you love in the one spot, and somebody is
- 36:54Speaker 1: driving for you. I get that.
- 36:56Speaker 2: That's you're getting into tree in territory there. And I'm
- 36:59Speaker 2: gonna tell you again, like you know exactly, yeah, yeah,
- 37:03Speaker 2: my ignorance is going to be exposed here Tom that
- 37:05Speaker 2: I don't really know the difference between a bus and
- 37:07Speaker 2: a coach. So for the exercises of this bit, I'm
- 37:10Speaker 2: just going to say, like, I'm just going to stick
- 37:11Speaker 2: with double deck or buses not my favorite move transport.
- 37:15Speaker 2: So this week I've just been listening to people left
- 37:18Speaker 2: and right telling us that forty six A was different.
- 37:22Speaker 2: It felt different, There was no way to travel. You know,
- 37:26Speaker 2: it's another goddamn bus. And it wasn't the same boss
- 37:29Speaker 2: over and over again. It was whatever piece of ship
- 37:31Speaker 2: was next on the line that just changed the number
- 37:32Speaker 2: at the front of the number.
- 37:35Speaker 1: They're on every every five minutes, so you're.
- 37:39Speaker 2: There all the forty six AA. I asked enough the
- 37:41Speaker 2: South side. Let me tell you that boss was on
- 37:43Speaker 2: the north side last week.
- 37:45Speaker 1: That thing that buss got riddled by every other side
- 37:48Speaker 1: of the city. There's three other sides of the city.
- 37:51Speaker 1: That buss got absolutely dandered up and down, and they
- 37:54Speaker 1: have just before you saw sat on it that buss.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Like people have this almost if it's a and I'm
- 38:00Speaker 1: about to use here, and you can verify whether it's
- 38:02Speaker 1: a real word or not, because you know a lot
- 38:03Speaker 1: of words like a virginic notion of this bust that
- 38:07Speaker 1: it is somehow was created and put on six wheels
- 38:11Speaker 1: for them. You're like, no, everybody else has had a go.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want that. I don't even want
- 38:17Speaker 1: the lend of an umbrella that somebody else has used,
- 38:20Speaker 1: let alone.
- 38:21Speaker 2: You know it's it's it's it's very rare, Tom, It's
- 38:24Speaker 2: very rare. In the Tom and Jerry show that we
- 38:27Speaker 2: will bring into this lad that we fucking hate normally,
- 38:33Speaker 2: it's like, this lad, what a guy. You got a
- 38:35Speaker 2: handle to him? Congratulations, I hope that fella. Look what
- 38:39Speaker 2: he did. These guys all this this is, I think,
- 38:41Speaker 2: is the first time we're just like this lad. We're
- 38:44Speaker 2: delighted it's gone. We love to hear you swinge about it.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Gather a grip yourselves. I'm extraordinarily cranky this week, but
- 38:53Speaker 2: I know why this is not the Jerry people soon
- 38:56Speaker 2: kind of ship people come to expect from Tom.
- 38:58Speaker 1: There are, yeah, exactly, but there are topics like you're
- 39:00Speaker 1: gonna poke Jerry with every so often, and this is
- 39:02Speaker 1: one of those ones. God damn it, this is this
- 39:05Speaker 1: is a This is a festering boil that has you know,
- 39:08Speaker 1: been sitting in Jerry's brain for a long time. And
- 39:10Speaker 1: I notice because and the only thing I would say
- 39:13Speaker 1: to you, as a guess, the difference between a bus
- 39:16Speaker 1: and a coach is that you can put your bags
- 39:19Speaker 1: under in the coach, in the steps up into I don't.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Know, tolerable either way, either way, I don't know. And
- 39:28Speaker 2: I'm just say, you know, I don't like to bring
- 39:30Speaker 2: a lot of negativity into people's weeks. I know people
- 39:32Speaker 2: tune into us on a tourist for light, harder things
- 39:34Speaker 2: in here. I'm like, and another thing about bosses, but
- 39:38Speaker 2: the forty six A particular terribly sorry, but maybe you
- 39:41Speaker 2: find folks will grow to love the six A even
- 39:44Speaker 2: more than you ever loved the forty eight six A
- 39:48Speaker 2: maybe you won't. I don't care, but.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Do you know what, I think a lot of it
- 39:51Speaker 1: is down to us just being annoyed with the notion
- 39:56Speaker 1: of Dublin people. How they go like they latch onto digits,
- 39:59Speaker 1: like those two chimneys. I'll never forget. I was a troll.
- 40:03Speaker 1: They were talking about taking them down, and I was like,
- 40:05Speaker 1: I will do it for you, those ugly bastards. Honestly, God,
- 40:09Speaker 1: I'll have it down in the morning.
- 40:11Speaker 2: And I honestly, you know, you don't have to go
- 40:13Speaker 2: all Fred didn't about Tom. I don't think anybody needs
- 40:16Speaker 2: to invest in knocking down the pool bag towers because
- 40:20Speaker 2: you give that another good stormy owing and them two
- 40:23Speaker 2: bitches are coming down by themselves or.
- 40:24Speaker 1: There was this is the thing they were talking about,
- 40:26Speaker 1: like six or seven million of reinforcement for two chimneys
- 40:30Speaker 1: that don't work, two concrete chimneys that don't work. And
- 40:34Speaker 1: you're like, like somebody was like, yeah, who would you
- 40:38Speaker 1: look at if I came down and I wrecked you know,
- 40:41Speaker 1: the rock of cash? And I'm like, what.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Is that near you? By the way, It's like, we've
- 40:49Speaker 2: got a lot of cool casts around us. But you know,
- 40:51Speaker 2: I get I get you know, I get lost in
- 40:52Speaker 2: that whole quadrant of the country.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I know you do, I know you do. But but
- 40:56Speaker 1: it was this was the nocean like that, these things
- 40:59Speaker 1: built like whatever that anywhere between the fifties and the seventies,
- 41:03Speaker 1: These concrete that was on like I'm guessing no waste
- 41:05Speaker 1: disposal factory of some sort. These two concrete painted towers
- 41:12Speaker 1: are as iconic to you as the unbelievable structure that
- 41:18Speaker 1: is the rock of casuals the whole of Ireland, Like
- 41:22Speaker 1: are you hold the percent? It's really up there with
- 41:25Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I was like, oh
- 41:27Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, the punk concrete pipes, you're that exactly pipes,
- 41:32Speaker 1: But the same notion on a bus that has a
- 41:35Speaker 1: number on it and the route is just I anytime
- 41:39Speaker 1: I got it, I seem to just I got some weirdo,
- 41:44Speaker 1: do you know the start of weirdo that's in his fifties,
- 41:47Speaker 1: can't properly make eye contact with Pete. But it was
- 41:49Speaker 1: just fine on the bus. But then for some reason
- 41:51Speaker 1: starts to talk to me, and then all of a
- 41:53Speaker 1: sudden he gets off and he starts like at least
- 41:56Speaker 1: at seven different times, through amount of times have gone
- 41:59Speaker 1: on that bus, I've had at least seven different blokes.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Tell me, how base do you know? These fellows who
- 42:06Speaker 1: just they were They're like the last farmer lad that's
- 42:09Speaker 1: left at home with the parents and he all the
- 42:12Speaker 1: rest of went often got married or moved somewhere, and
- 42:14Speaker 1: he was left with the farm. And now he's like
- 42:17Speaker 1: sixty and he's looking to go jive and to try
- 42:19Speaker 1: and find a woman, or he's on iron's own. This
- 42:21Speaker 1: is what it was, the city of equivalent. All these
- 42:23Speaker 1: fellows you.
- 42:25Speaker 2: To those are those are the farmers that you want
- 42:27Speaker 2: to talk to, you know, because you want to learn
- 42:31Speaker 2: does he keep his money in a biscuting exactly? That's
- 42:36Speaker 2: the boy that has a basketing full of money. I'm
- 42:38Speaker 2: gona tell you that much.
- 42:39Speaker 1: What does he feed his couts? But I just seem
- 42:41Speaker 1: to always get weird bastards on that bus wanted to
- 42:44Speaker 1: talk to me about stuff like I have a very
- 42:46Speaker 1: unapproachable face. Why is this not working on You's weird device?
- 42:50Speaker 1: To you?
- 42:51Speaker 2: You're you're very approachable. That first time I saw Yea,
- 42:54Speaker 2: I walked up. He was like, Hey, what do you
- 42:55Speaker 2: do You like posers or not. But here's the thing, Tom,
- 43:00Speaker 2: if I could get some positivity into it, I don't
- 43:03Speaker 2: like to be negative. If you have good memories of
- 43:06Speaker 2: the forty six, Hey, what you probably have good memories
- 43:08Speaker 2: of is the people that you were with or the
- 43:10Speaker 2: places that you were going. The bus was just there.
- 43:13Speaker 2: It wasn't the story. It was the page the story
- 43:15Speaker 2: was written on at best, so you still have the
- 43:18Speaker 2: wonderful experience.
- 43:20Speaker 1: It was the shop that the book was sold in, exactly.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Jesus, it's neither here nor there.
- 43:26Speaker 1: To hear somebody go, oh, there was a time that
- 43:28Speaker 1: Glenn has started playing once at the back of the bus,
- 43:32Speaker 1: and sure it was, and we're all light and caddle
- 43:34Speaker 1: and before you know it, just in the talkie was
- 43:36Speaker 1: driving the bus and no, let's get rid of it.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Shit on six wheels, being driven by a man who
- 43:44Speaker 1: couldn't care less a lotty if he turned around. Everybody
- 43:47Speaker 1: had just you know, passed away on the bus or
- 43:51Speaker 1: just jumped out of the half doors at the last
- 43:54Speaker 1: stop because he's just going to keep driving anyway. There
- 43:57Speaker 1: is no love in the forty six A. I'm sorry, sorry,
- 44:00Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought it up to her and.
- 44:02Speaker 2: To to to to to paraphrase Biggie Smalls, we don't
- 44:06Speaker 2: love no boss.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Same man had a phone bill of two g's flat.
- 44:13Speaker 1: But he never worried because you know, the accountant Harry
- 44:15Speaker 1: handled that he wasn't going around. He had a limousine
- 44:19Speaker 1: and a green leather sofa.
- 44:21Speaker 2: He wasn't going around on the bus.
- 44:24Speaker 1: No.
- 44:25Speaker 2: You know, before we get into Biggie Smalls, Tom, I'm
- 44:28Speaker 2: my one concern here is this, right, Well, my main
- 44:31Speaker 2: concern is this, Okay that normally we're very polite to
- 44:36Speaker 2: this lad, and we leave the segment in a very
- 44:39Speaker 2: upbeat way, and that lends itself into well we are upbeat,
- 44:43Speaker 2: but now we're going into a row, and I fear
- 44:46Speaker 2: that we're going we're coming from a very negative segment
- 44:48Speaker 2: going into our closing segment. But it's just going to
- 44:51Speaker 2: be negativity. But you know what, Hey, some weeks are
- 44:54Speaker 2: like that, Tom, Let's.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Have a row. Don't stop. It's generally er. I can't
- 45:03Speaker 1: help it if there's going to be a bit of
- 45:05Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of a little bit of
- 45:08Speaker 1: hot sauce throughout, Like we can't be just patting the
- 45:12Speaker 1: backs off everything going left, right and center, and to
- 45:15Speaker 1: be fair, I think it's well warranted. I brought it
- 45:19Speaker 1: up to you and it.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Was it's it's it's it's by the way, Tom, it's
- 45:22Speaker 2: pay day this week. So I'll be a much different
- 45:23Speaker 2: character next monthing when I'm when I'm.
- 45:26Speaker 1: This, this is the thing, like this is the thing,
- 45:27Speaker 1: like you know, as pay day goes. And that's kind
- 45:30Speaker 1: of where this this kind of comes about because it's
- 45:32Speaker 1: deals with tip and culture, and where it was where
- 45:37Speaker 1: it came up to me was that it was this
- 45:39Speaker 1: this Japanese in America had gone through. He was delivered
- 45:43Speaker 1: the pizza and he had to actually walk the last
- 45:44Speaker 1: half mile through the snow delivered the pizza.
- 45:46Speaker 2: You can, he's like a delivery sort of door dash came.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Yeah what whatever whatever company was with and he posts
- 45:53Speaker 1: online that you might give him a two dollars tip
- 45:57Speaker 1: for trips and through. So he'd go back there half
- 45:59Speaker 1: my again, back to the car in the snow, and
- 46:02Speaker 1: you got two dollars and I'm supposed to pour out.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Bustard was a bit broken about it, and it ended up,
- 46:08Speaker 1: you know, a phondo was done from and he's after
- 46:10Speaker 1: having been offered a few quid or whatever for and
- 46:12Speaker 1: it's great. I'm delighted, but like two dollars, like that's
- 46:15Speaker 1: not even two euros now, I I must tell you
- 46:19Speaker 1: it's well over three years since I got a delivery, really, yeah,
- 46:25Speaker 1: I mean it's this handy. We kind of timers that,
- 46:28Speaker 1: Like you could get a delivery out from the local
- 46:30Speaker 1: town or the local village, but because you drive everywhere
- 46:34Speaker 1: and we don't use right public transport, you kind of
- 46:37Speaker 1: time it now with should you coming home anyway? What
- 46:40Speaker 1: would you be dragging somebody out here for people? Bring
- 46:42Speaker 1: it on with you, do you know that kind of way.
- 46:44Speaker 1: So that's what's done now, you know. So if there's
- 46:46Speaker 1: a pizza or whatever, I don't go and get the pizza.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I'm on the way home from someplace anyway, so it's
- 46:52Speaker 1: as well to just go. Actually that's that's the dynamic
- 46:55Speaker 1: of how it happens. But we used to get it
- 46:57Speaker 1: on the regular where we lived. We lived quite in
- 46:59Speaker 1: near Brain. There was a great r three of different
- 47:04Speaker 1: foody joints and whatnot, you know what I mean. But
- 47:08Speaker 1: I was happy enough to and the lads were always
- 47:10Speaker 1: happy to get to an out of tip. But do
- 47:12Speaker 1: you know what I mean of some sort. I was
- 47:14Speaker 1: okay with the notion of tipping, even though it's not
- 47:17Speaker 1: a particularly big thing in this country.
- 47:20Speaker 2: You know, well, do you know here's the crux of
- 47:22Speaker 2: this route. Hemet big and getting bigger. I'm gonna tell
- 47:25Speaker 2: you this much. Yeah, okay, here's the thing, right, we've
- 47:30Speaker 2: been to America. You actually lived in America for a
- 47:31Speaker 2: little while. I did. Tipping over there is not tipping
- 47:38Speaker 2: over here. Tipping over there is basically you're subsidizing the
- 47:41Speaker 2: wages of your service industry people.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Well first and foremost. The way you're even saying tipping
- 47:50Speaker 1: like it doesn't sound there's any money changing hands there.
- 47:53Speaker 1: It sounds like the answer you would give to somebody
- 47:56Speaker 1: who was asking how the job was going. Tipping and
- 47:59Speaker 1: tipping typically that's you know, so you need to clarify
- 48:06Speaker 1: for people in case they're going they've jumped out off
- 48:09Speaker 1: of the forty six A and have never heard of
- 48:11Speaker 1: the notion of tipping. It's given people personal the personal
- 48:16Speaker 1: touch that has given you your grub typically or your
- 48:19Speaker 1: your item.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Typically, and that's that's how it was. In Ireland. I
- 48:23Speaker 2: will say somebody somebody had brought you food, served your drink,
- 48:27Speaker 2: done a job for you or some such and you
- 48:31Speaker 2: paid them what they were due, but you gave them
- 48:33Speaker 2: a little extra because they were nice about it, or
- 48:35Speaker 2: yeah it felt like it, or maybe you were just
- 48:37Speaker 2: you know, it came to an uneven number and you
- 48:41Speaker 2: were like, don't follow walking back here with the change.
- 48:43Speaker 2: You've worked hard for that two euro, right, whatever it
- 48:47Speaker 2: would be. That was to me that was always tipping.
- 48:49Speaker 2: And and I loaded lorries and loaded cars Tom for
- 48:56Speaker 2: fifteen or twenty years, right, just being the lad that
- 49:00Speaker 2: was working in the yard. That if you pulled up
- 49:02Speaker 2: and I opened a boot, eye loaded up, or I
- 49:04Speaker 2: loaded your tiles, or I loaded all this kind of thing.
- 49:06Speaker 2: And in that time Tom, I was tipped some amount
- 49:10Speaker 2: of but twenty five euro in a total of fifteen
- 49:13Speaker 2: years in total, in total, about four or five people
- 49:16Speaker 2: would have said, thanks for doing that. Here you go, yeah,
- 49:20Speaker 2: buy a pint or the fucking beano. I don't know
- 49:23Speaker 2: whatever it was. It was only a gas and at
- 49:24Speaker 2: the time, you know, but I remember that, I remember that. Okay,
- 49:30Speaker 2: what's going to be now in Ireland is more like
- 49:32Speaker 2: the American style of tipping. But the American style of
- 49:35Speaker 2: tipping is because everybody in the food service industry is
- 49:37Speaker 2: paid so goddamn little. You're paid like the not even
- 49:41Speaker 2: minimum wage, or you're paid some pittance with the notion
- 49:44Speaker 2: that your tips will make it up for you. So
- 49:45Speaker 2: it they expected that you know your food was cheap,
- 49:48Speaker 2: and you your food was cheaper than it is over here,
- 49:51Speaker 2: and that's because you have to give that person twelve percent.
- 49:55Speaker 2: And it's not it's not a guide. We've worked it
- 49:57Speaker 2: out because if you don't give the twelve percent, we
- 50:01Speaker 2: the business have to give them twelve percent, and we're
- 50:03Speaker 2: going to charge you twelve percent because one way or
- 50:04Speaker 2: another we're getting another twelve percent of the year bill
- 50:07Speaker 2: for it. So that's that correct. Now, what you have
- 50:11Speaker 2: over here coming into it is sort of like a
- 50:15Speaker 2: curious halfway house between the two of them go on
- 50:18Speaker 2: where that's not what it is with the wages, although
- 50:22Speaker 2: the wages I would imagine wouldn't be great and give
- 50:25Speaker 2: you that.
- 50:26Speaker 1: What is men of wages? It's like a live and something.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Now, I don't know, it's not God knows time. I
- 50:30Speaker 2: hope you don't find out anything soon that's not that's
- 50:34Speaker 2: not a fucking high roll or talk out of me now,
- 50:36Speaker 2: so it's not. But like I remember being on it
- 50:39Speaker 2: and I wouldn't you know, wasn't it in the right
- 50:42Speaker 2: home of it. But at the same time, I didn't,
- 50:45Speaker 2: you know, expect people to shore me up, nor should
- 50:50Speaker 2: anybody have.
- 50:51Speaker 1: So tell me this when you when you got a tip.
- 50:53Speaker 1: This is the Irish notion, the handful of no.
- 50:56Speaker 2: I never know, yeah, I never there you go saying
- 50:59Speaker 2: that they at the hand I've ever been tipped.
- 51:03Speaker 1: And I've been, you know what, I've been tipped. The
- 51:07Speaker 1: oddest place I think I've ever been tipped was it
- 51:09Speaker 1: was at a comedy club and I was getting paid
- 51:12Speaker 1: and I was to be at the comedy club. I
- 51:15Speaker 1: was performing and asn't putting on me coat. It was
- 51:18Speaker 1: the end of the night because I was closing the show.
- 51:20Speaker 1: An American company walked past, and your mind just put
- 51:23Speaker 1: like ten euros in a pandam it great job, thanks
- 51:26Speaker 1: very much? And I was like, nice, you didn't have
- 51:29Speaker 1: to do that. Now if to give a notion on
- 51:31Speaker 1: a very different type of tip in and this is
- 51:35Speaker 1: where you really think for your supper, because my whole
- 51:38Speaker 1: thing is if if the value was in it, then
- 51:40Speaker 1: it's well worth paying for. So if somebody's super class,
- 51:44Speaker 1: you know what I mean, really good to you or
- 51:45Speaker 1: really good to your kid, and maybe you've got to ash.
- 51:47Speaker 1: It's sorry to leave a tip. But I I remember
- 51:51Speaker 1: when you do the Edinburgh Free Fringe, which is the
- 51:54Speaker 1: unticketed one, but you do try and bring people to
- 51:56Speaker 1: your show. But the notion being that at the end
- 51:58Speaker 1: there's a bucket or nowadays people have like you know,
- 52:01Speaker 1: I suppose a little card machine or whatever whatever, yeah,
- 52:04Speaker 1: you know, or for revolution or whatever, and people can
- 52:07Speaker 1: tap and like you're getting people going, yeah, sorry, I
- 52:11Speaker 1: come in with nothing. You're like Jesus Christ a mighty
- 52:13Speaker 1: Like you're worse than somebody who who refuses that you
- 52:17Speaker 1: just you came in with like if you turned around
- 52:19Speaker 1: and said, yeah, no, it wasn't worth than anything to me.
- 52:21Speaker 1: Actually I sat there for the hour and that was brutal.
- 52:23Speaker 1: You'd nearly appreciate it more rather than h no, no.
- 52:26Speaker 1: I turned up non the scenario, but I came up
- 52:29Speaker 1: with I came up with no money at all. Thought
- 52:31Speaker 1: so I was one hundred percent getting something for free
- 52:33Speaker 1: and had no intention of giving you any kind of
- 52:35Speaker 1: a tip for the thing.
- 52:36Speaker 2: But for the most part of people i'd give you
- 52:38Speaker 2: less than the second collection plate gets it mad.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Yeah, So the notion is your average person would the
- 52:44Speaker 1: whole thing is based on tips, and by Jesus Christ,
- 52:47Speaker 1: you need it, so you've kin't. I've been in that position,
- 52:50Speaker 1: so you do kind of try and give it. Okay,
- 52:52Speaker 1: I've given up my all for the hour here. I
- 52:54Speaker 1: hope it's worth something to you. Yeah, and ninety nine
- 52:56Speaker 1: percent of people it is worth something to them. You're like, ah,
- 52:59Speaker 1: that restores my faith humanity. But by Jesus Christ, Jerry,
- 53:02Speaker 1: I've got lads delivering stuff and what not, and I'll
- 53:06Speaker 1: never forget. Like one guy and he just kept on.
- 53:09Speaker 1: He couldn't find the house, even though the air coat
- 53:11Speaker 1: would bring you right to the gate. And I mean
- 53:13Speaker 1: he bollocked me out of it, like I didn't invent
- 53:15Speaker 1: the air coat. You only it's only four kilometers from
- 53:18Speaker 1: your restaurant? Why are you? And he showed up and
- 53:21Speaker 1: he still stood there with the kind of like brother.
- 53:26Speaker 1: It would be based someone you've charged. There's a service,
- 53:28Speaker 1: a delivery charge on this anyway, which so you're getting paid.
- 53:31Speaker 1: You didn't show up here, you know, pro bono, And
- 53:35Speaker 1: now you expect me to tip it. I'd be like, yeah, like,
- 53:38Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry, your attitude needs I said
- 53:41Speaker 1: it to him, your attitude needs to change. And I'm
- 53:43Speaker 1: not being snobby about it, but you're you bollocked me
- 53:45Speaker 1: out of it.
- 53:45Speaker 2: Up the attack.
- 53:48Speaker 1: But I really saw in America the first time I
- 53:51Speaker 1: was ever there. We all went for a bye tea
- 53:53Speaker 1: and we hit in New York and there was a
- 53:55Speaker 1: gang of us, and this one was so pleasant, like
- 53:58Speaker 1: she was just turning it the charm on. There was
- 54:01Speaker 1: eight of us there. We're on the students, but you
- 54:03Speaker 1: kind of went, there's tipping, we need to do tipping.
- 54:07Speaker 1: And so we got we got the big American break
- 54:10Speaker 1: it was. It was a proper New York diner. We
- 54:12Speaker 1: got the big American breakfast, all of us. The crispy
- 54:15Speaker 1: rashers that tasted like nothing really, and then the eggs
- 54:19Speaker 1: that didn't taste like getting really and then they want
- 54:21Speaker 1: to give you apple tart at eight o'clock in the morning,
- 54:23Speaker 1: which is the strange shit ever anyway, but we get it.
- 54:26Speaker 1: The coffee was good and everything else. She was so nice.
- 54:28Speaker 1: She wanted to know all about Ireland, and it was
- 54:30Speaker 1: just all an act dure because we didn't know what
- 54:33Speaker 1: the percentage was to tip. We were nineteen, like you
- 54:35Speaker 1: know what I mean, and between the eight of us, though,
- 54:38Speaker 1: she we all said, well, we'll tip whatever. And it
- 54:41Speaker 1: came to an average of about kept an average of
- 54:45Speaker 1: about five or six dollars and then right, and the
- 54:47Speaker 1: breakfast wasn't much more than that each either, But we
- 54:50Speaker 1: were like, all.
- 54:51Speaker 2: Right, we'll give I suppose that's about right.
- 54:53Speaker 1: But she like off our table she made like I
- 54:58Speaker 1: suppose she made about fifty dollars, right, that's two thousand
- 55:02Speaker 1: and one, mind you, but I mean, you want that's
- 55:04Speaker 1: not bad. You'd want to see the mask drop when
- 55:10Speaker 1: she just counted it up while chewing tor chewing gum,
- 55:13Speaker 1: like she went from being Mary Poppins to being cruel
- 55:17Speaker 1: of Deville and like like, I mean, her face just dropped.
- 55:21Speaker 1: The act was done. Get the fuck out of here.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I'm done, and I need to get another fucking table
- 55:26Speaker 1: in here. You bummed.
- 55:28Speaker 4: She didn't care because so bombs it became so apparent
- 55:32Speaker 4: that she didn't give a ship about us about it, like, yeah,
- 55:39Speaker 4: you know, sorry.
- 55:41Speaker 2: When I was doing comedy, tell them sometimes you get
- 55:43Speaker 2: off the staging bicyc come over like like now we're
- 55:46Speaker 2: down here, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 55:49Speaker 1: Which the miles to drive, but you know what I mean,
- 55:53Speaker 1: she had put in such an an interest, like she
- 55:56Speaker 1: could have just been pleasant, but she went over the
- 55:58Speaker 1: top of me, like can you not tell all a
- 56:00Speaker 1: bunch of young flus, like we're not going to be
- 56:02Speaker 1: all hitting you like twenty dollars each and you're going
- 56:05Speaker 1: to retire off the back of us, like do you know?
- 56:07Speaker 1: But it was her face just dropped and was done
- 56:10Speaker 1: with us, Like how you get I need to get
- 56:12Speaker 1: another in like like it wasn't bad. She made fifty dollars,
- 56:16Speaker 1: you know for the brief moment we were there, like,
- 56:19Speaker 1: but it opened eyes a tip and scenario. I was like,
- 56:23Speaker 1: oh Jesus, they need their tips.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's better than the first time I
- 56:26Speaker 2: went to New York. Time I get back, I was like, yeah,
- 56:28Speaker 2: you know, there's this whole tipp and I just didn't
- 56:30Speaker 2: do it because I thought I was going over there
- 56:32Speaker 2: with the notion that it was right only like twenty
- 56:36Speaker 2: five at the time, and I was over there with
- 56:38Speaker 2: the notion that it was irish tipping in so far
- 56:40Speaker 2: as if someone was nice to you and went a
- 56:42Speaker 2: little above and beyond, then you were nice to them
- 56:45Speaker 2: back in the form of a fire or whatever. Yeah,
- 56:48Speaker 2: that was my understanding of it. I was not wise
- 56:51Speaker 2: to the whole notion of oh no, this is actually
- 56:55Speaker 2: this person relying on this further wages. So in subsequent
- 56:59Speaker 2: times that I've been in New York, I still don't tip.
- 57:01Speaker 2: It's an asshole. No, no, do I look after people.
- 57:07Speaker 2: And here's the thing, Tom, right, this is not around
- 57:10Speaker 2: that I'm having with you, like you shouldn't tap, you
- 57:11Speaker 2: shouldn't do this, start or the other. And if somebody
- 57:14Speaker 2: walks a half a mile through snow to deliver you're
- 57:16Speaker 2: lazy hold of pizza. You owe more than to Europe.
- 57:19Speaker 2: That's for damn sure, right m M. There's just we're
- 57:27Speaker 2: in a curious halfway house in this country. For example,
- 57:30Speaker 2: if I order a takeaway online, which I do more
- 57:35Speaker 2: often I should, and you pay the delivery charge on
- 57:38Speaker 2: top of it, that's fine, you're going to deliver itself
- 57:41Speaker 2: for free. But then there's another little thing that you
- 57:44Speaker 2: can click to give a tip to the driver. You
- 57:46Speaker 2: can do it online, so you don't have a way
- 57:47Speaker 2: twice car open. You click it and you do that.
- 57:50Speaker 2: So I've tipped you online. If you don't get that money, brother,
- 57:56Speaker 2: that's you need to go talk to somebody else about that.
- 57:59Speaker 2: And when you drop my stuff off at the door,
- 58:02Speaker 2: have a face on you that I haven't given you
- 58:03Speaker 2: a tip, No pile, I gotta tell you, I've given
- 58:05Speaker 2: you a tip. I've given it to you online. If
- 58:07Speaker 2: you're not getting that, you need to talk to someone
- 58:09Speaker 2: further up the line, or somebody needs to talk to
- 58:12Speaker 2: somebody further up the line. Something needs to be done
- 58:13Speaker 2: about that. That the money I'm giving to the staff
- 58:16Speaker 2: for delivering my food goes to those people and it's
- 58:19Speaker 2: not getting skimmed or it's not getting clipped off the door,
- 58:22Speaker 2: you know what.
- 58:23Speaker 1: That's why you see what I'm saying, I do you
- 58:24Speaker 1: know what? And I don't know if this is going
- 58:26Speaker 1: to if this was cut and somebody went on any
- 58:28Speaker 1: an absolute asshole.
- 58:30Speaker 2: I'm not in favor of tipping a told you, well,
- 58:33Speaker 2: you know, I want to give you one more. I'm
- 58:36Speaker 2: going to give you one more because there was actually
- 58:38Speaker 2: a restaurant I'm not going to name it in Dublin
- 58:41Speaker 2: and it was in the middle of a massive route
- 58:42Speaker 2: there a year or maybe two years ago that it
- 58:48Speaker 2: it put out that you weren't allowed to tip the
- 58:50Speaker 2: staff in cash. You had to tip them on the bill,
- 58:52Speaker 2: because when you tip them in cash, they put it
- 58:54Speaker 2: in the park in the row on about the business.
- 58:56Speaker 2: But you tip them on the bill, I think. And
- 58:59Speaker 2: I'm not going to name anybody because I name any
- 59:01Speaker 2: play premises, because I could be left a little out
- 59:04Speaker 2: of you know, left the center on this one.
- 59:06Speaker 1: Hey got your face right, yeah, but they want.
- 59:10Speaker 2: You only put it through the books. So you put
- 59:12Speaker 2: the tip through the books. So someone was getting money
- 59:15Speaker 2: that wasn't the guy that was real nice to and
- 59:17Speaker 2: served your fish fingers and chips all day. He wasn't
- 59:20Speaker 2: getting the price of a pint. He was getting one
- 59:23Speaker 2: fifty and the rest of it was going elsewhere. Now
- 59:25Speaker 2: that's wrong. I'm telling you. If I see someone that's
- 59:29Speaker 2: being nice to me and serve me, and I want
- 59:31Speaker 2: to give them money on top of the bill for themselves,
- 59:35Speaker 2: I wanted to go directly to them. So here's after
- 59:40Speaker 2: all that, here's what I say, tip and cash. If
- 59:42Speaker 2: you're going to tip it all tipping cash directly to
- 59:45Speaker 2: the face of the person that's in front of you.
- 59:47Speaker 2: Here you go here's a tip.
- 59:49Speaker 1: I would sooner, Yeah, I would sooner. No, I'm going
- 59:53Speaker 1: to divide it a different way. I like the service
- 59:55Speaker 1: charge thing, but I would like the service charge to
- 59:59Speaker 1: go exactly to to Norah who served me. Yeah right,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: let's not do this whole it's spinning around, giving you
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: a money out of my back pocket, gives you a
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: winking and not let's just get this done quick. But
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: now here's my other thing. Ireland is a very different
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: leaving fucking America and all them other places aside, because
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: we're not there.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: We're here, No, we're here.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Yes, How did it become a tipping culture here? Because
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: everybody on minimum wage through every walk of life here
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: in Ireland. That's not to say people that I doubt
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: if it's a decent restaurant, they're not a minimum wage
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: because you've got to pay for good staff here, gang,
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: but you're not getting You're not getting good restaurant staff
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: at eleven quid. I'm telling you that right now, you're
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: not getting good staff. But why would you tip the
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: person who brings you your food when you wouldn't tip say,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: the fellow selling you your floor? And do you know
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: what I mean?
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Like tape him as well. Tom, I'm gonna tell you
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: this much. If anybody does right by you in any
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: stretch or walk of life, tip that person. I'll give
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: you a good example and we get out of here. Okay,
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: because he is getting on, I'll give you a good example.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: I was selling solid solid fuel stoves one time along
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: the way my life. Okay, yeah, in one of the
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: five jobs that I've had. The guy came in and
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: the thing was there for five hundred euro. Okay, I'm
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: gonna talk round sums. He's like five hundred euro. That's
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: a wee bit, a wee bit steep. And I said, well,
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: let me a bit hot from it, a little bit
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: hot for my pock. And I said, well, I'll tell
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: you what. Do you know what's happening here? Pal? They're
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: bringing in a new one of them next week. Whatever
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: it was this was Saturday, was a new one coming out.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: They're dropping us around a new stove to swap that out.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: So that's the old model. So that's a display model.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with it. It's been sitting there, there's
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: never been a match struck. And it's a solid fuel stove.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: So it's a metal box there's only so much these
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: things can do. Yeah, five hundred euro. But if you
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: want that one, the display one, I'll give it to
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: you for three point fifty, which is you couldn't sell
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: the thing at a loss. You had to sell it
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: for whatever it was costing a penny or whatever it was.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: He goes, like, just a one hundred and fifty years off.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: I goes, one hundred and fifty year. I want rid
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: of it. I have a new one coming in here
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: next week, and just get it out of me. Site
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: three fifty that's what it is.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: Take it away. It's three fifty.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: So he says, one hundred and fifty euro of saving.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: I goes, yeah, jesus, what.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: I'll take that off your shirt? I goes, you rock
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: and roll, Paul, come on, I'll get you written up.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: He goes, just I wonder what I'm gonna do with
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty euro. And I said to him
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: with a smile, I know what you can do with
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: a tenor.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: U Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: Do you think he gave me a dime or the
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: rotten fucker that I all the riddness of my heart
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: saved him one hundred and fifty euro. Oh, no, no, no,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: never accord to him to give me a tenor so.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: If somebody goes above and beyond to sore you out
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: and saves you money, you give that man some of
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: a back. You'll give that lady some of a pack.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: If some lady comes along and she helps you pick
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: out X, Y Z and blah blah blah, and it
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: all rings up and it comes down to whatever, and
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: maybe she does you a little bit of a disco
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: because it's blah blah blah, whatnot? You look after those people.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Tom, if I tell you the one
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: thing I would say if I won the lottery in
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: the morning is I would tip an awful lot more
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: because there's something, there's something very big dick about walking
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: around handing out five ers like a bob yell, yeah, yeah,
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: I'm a big tip. Yeah, I know fibers aren't big tips,
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: but like, yeah, yeah, here here four seventy five.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Take it. I tell you what, Because there's nearly an
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: awkwardness at other levels you're like, oh, she's thanks very much.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: What we need to do is take on maybe the
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: the the mentality of a five year old boy who
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: for some reason seems to get out LEDs seem to
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: give them fivers left right center. You have never seen
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: anything like it. He to bust open his money box
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: to Christmas time, it was like one of those you
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: know they see see those Chinese kids that get like
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: rakes some money and they just get it was ludicrous,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: just fire and explosion of fibers. Was like, well, like
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, he's already quit, like, he's already wealthier than
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: me this far, this far cash rich, cash Richard and
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: me right now, and we're only on you. We're not
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: even in February, so you know, and he has no problem.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Like my father asked him the other day, he goes,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: what would you say to a fiver for kind of
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: helping him lift some wood? He goes, do you have
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: any tenors? That was I swear my life.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: Like Jesus Christ, tom In With that in mind, would
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: I not say to you that? Would you not like
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: to see that box open and all those fibers spring out?
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Would you not like to see that if it was
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: on a TV show on a farm and instead of
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: fibers it was Confederate money.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: No, I want to see golstones flying everywhere, just raining
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: down on people in slow motion because they know they're
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: quids in.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: Well, Tom, do you know what I'm gonna? Italian people
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: can monitor the advances of our wonderful TV shows and
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: indeed tear us to shreds for our arcaic takes on tipping.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: Although I thought, like you know, my resting gears, give
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: the working people more money. I don't know what to
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: tell you. Cash into their hand, don't give it to
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: anybody else. Regardless of all that, you can come at
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: us if you're there on social media. You'll find us
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: on Twitter at Tom and Jerry's show. Jerry with a
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: G will get us there, or separately, you'll get him
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: Tom O'Mahoney on Instagram is his haunt of choice, and
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: you'll find me on Blue Sky Jerry McBride again, Jerry
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: with the G over there what else would like these
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: fine people to do?
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Tom what it was the very first time? And by
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: the way, there was a couple of messages and Spotify
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: people saying they love the show, just very nice, nice
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: things to say. And that's the thing. Spotify is probably
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: our most most subscricribed one. But you're listening on some
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: platform right now, whatever it is, go ahead and hit
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: subscribe hit the bell, whatever, the tombs up the little rocket.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: Whatever's gonna tell you every Thursday that this is landed
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: in your ears and if you can rate it, rate
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: it highly, rate it the top marks. Anything other than
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: that is of no use to us.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: But and Tom, I gotta tell you, we say it
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: every now and then. But that's not an ego thing.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: That's not like you should give us top marks because
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: we deserve it or you know, we all know it
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: helps us rise to the top of algorithms and things
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: like this. It's not you know, we don't spend that.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: We don't spend those five stars, so we don't get them.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: But it helps the podcast, and we would love it
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: if you would help us to do that.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: As my grandfather, you say, what bank like cash that
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: in But we do have a little bit of news
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: they we do that well, we possibly might get Jerry out.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: But I have started. My plans are in place for
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: a brand new tour kicking off in this May, and
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: I will be coming to a town near you. I'm
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: still trying to convince me Bride to tip me come
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: to the show, just leave throw fibers at me and
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: perhaps you might even get him to say a few words.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I made that sound like it was going to be
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: my eulogy or whatnot. But look at it's right now,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: Tom Manny dot Com, forward SAT gigs if you want
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: to find me and I'll just do an hour talking
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: about Jerry. If people really want, you know, Jerry talk,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: I'll do a whole hour of just saying things in
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: Jerry's accent if that's what people want.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: So I got it.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Here's that should have been the name of the Joe Yeah.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Yeah, this more so, that's the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: A couple of people have actually said that they think
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: the levels on my mic are acting up a little bit.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: We're working on okay. Then it's not that the mic
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: drops out or like that. It's just every now and
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: then I talk like this mood and whatnot, and when
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: I hear it back on the podcast, I realized that
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: very little of it is not that problem. I gotta
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: work on myself. What can I tell you exactly?
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: Look at we'll get better, we will try harder. But
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: other than that, right won't I'm going to just I'm
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: gonna have to put a concrete block on top of
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: it's bin to try and keep it closed until The
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: men show up in the morning.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Their basket tinful of money on her good luck, good
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: luck
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: Yeah,
