• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of year. And if you get a bit down from
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time to time, that's okay. Even sometimes when I'm up
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: at Chimney, I feel a bit down, but there's always
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: summit you can do for me. It's fresh air and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a fag and the middle laugh goes a long way too.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Like when I'm listening to Dumb and Jerry Show. Well
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: most of the time anyway, they're actually quite informative. I'll
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: see they.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Tom. Let me ask you a question.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Where does the dogs kitchen?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Kitchen? Yeah, our dog sleeps down in the kitchen. I'm
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: sitting room. Okay, he's got full rain up a grade,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you know what. He's sad late coming up to the bed.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Oh no, nip that in the boat straight away. We
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: ruined Hello everybody working to the tim of Jerry Show,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Hello with her. We ruined our dog early doors because
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: she was an adorable puppy and we didn't have a
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: child at the time, so we left her into the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: bed when she was adorable little puppy, and that created
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: a fucking maniac because she gets separated anxiety if I
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: go down the fucking room, like if I go that
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So no, she sleeps in
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: alongside the red Oh no, she can't go into the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: sitting room.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But we had had we had a very strict rule
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: with air dog. And again hello everybody, Jerry McBride, Tom Olmney,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you know the score. We had a very strict rule
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that this was a downstairs dog. Lucky that it's an
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: inside dog to begin with. But over Christmas he came
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: upstairs because the tree was in the sitting room. Santy
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was coming on Christmas Eve. If you couldn't even been
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in the sitting room when Santy was coming, no A.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And then lo and behold, since then three o'clock in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the morning, you hear scratching at the bedroom door from
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in all the count I do I close the doors
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: downstairs that he can't come up. This is the best
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of it, right tom. And of course it jumps in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and he's fucking lie on toppy and you can't go
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to sleep or he'll scratches, he'll scratch himself and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a jingle jangle for half an hour or no peace
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: out of it. And it's like sleeping with a big
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: woolen blanket over you. Here's what he did last night
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: tom This is when we drew a line on it. Right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Do you know what he did last night? Around about
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock. He jumped off the sofa and went on
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: up the stairs aheady ahead of us. I'm away up
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the room, lads, as I have to say, listen, I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: not really watching that now, so I'm not going to.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Go on up. Having early one tomorrow, so you know yourself.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Staying up late. Listen, don't don't make too much the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: lights on your way up here. I'm away on up
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and went on up to the bed and was lying
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: in the bed before any of us got up to her,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: as if to say, ah, yeah, that's the downstairs portion
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of the night gone, I'm away up. Oh no, dog, no, no, no,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you are absolutely staying downstairs tonight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I honestly, it's like seventy five percent of the reason
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of building that big barn door was stopping the dog
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: from just one wandering straight into the fucking sitting room
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and just rubbing her outdoor because she's an outdoor indoor dog,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: rubbing her outdoor funk all over the new sofa.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So well, you know, you know you're talking to a man.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's all the boys, these days, Tom are sofa covers.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that dog is a big whole war and so
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: was not for nothing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: In Harvey Norman, there was a reclining armchair that was
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: bought with me in mind. And you know who literally
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: owns that chair. It's the dog's chair. Fucking six on
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: your arm chair. Oh Jesus Christ just designated that the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: dog's chair. Dog has absolutely riddled you. Yeah, yeah, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I you can't be that, you can do you know
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to tell that the listeners of the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry Show those that we haven't lost up
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: until this point, now that we just went into an
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: awful dog brand. We're not dog haters. We love dogs,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I mean love We've won a.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Piece like you know, although I will say I will
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: say I've been cleaned the car out for its annual

  Speaker 3: clean because tomorrow is guess what, Oh yeah, the c
• 3:53

• 3:56
  Speaker 3: stuff belonging to the dog in the car the rest
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of us in the family.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, dogs more ties than the others. It's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a care we don't. We don't just ramble about dogs
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on the Tom and Jerry Show. Be odd for a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: show that shares a name with the cat and the mouse.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: To just ramble about dogs by it would be bounced, folks.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: We talk about all kinds of things. Myself and Tom
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: are comedians. I'm lapsed. He's the hardest working man in Ireland.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get together once a week to put you put
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: together a bit of a bit of an l comedy
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: podcast for your good self and jokes are common. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: promise you don't you worries bear away us folks.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Particularly in the first segment of the show, we break
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: it up into three segments for new listeners. The first
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: segment we take a look at the big brew ha Tom,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the happenstance. It's not just your NCT for the car,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: although that will play a factor, but we're talking about
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the big noise, the weekly what have you. This is
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a very complicated case mod you know, a lot of I,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: lot of outs, a lot of what have you, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of SCRAMs to keep in my head. Man.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: It's the middle of January.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It's the middle of January, and specifically, as we record
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: this tonight, we record on Monday nights, so it's it's Monday,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the nineteenth of January. But specifically to this Monday. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: is I learned today Blue Monday.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Are you familiar, Tom, I I am familiar because what
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: this is now is you've the last your money. When
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I worked on the sites, if you're getting paid weekly,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: fair enough, but if you're getting paid monthly, by Jesus,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: things were fucking tight. Like you were scraping together like
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: pouches of the backga now trying to make an all
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: skinny fag for yourself, Like you know, the things were
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: getting tiedy, were down to the easy singles for this sanguages.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, You're going to do that
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: fuck and you're off the sauce because you're like, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: can't be bound the sauce. I can't afford to be
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: on the sauce. Had enough of the sauce. I've been
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: eating like an absolute So this fucking broccoli and crackers
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I've been eating for the last three weeks now are
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: starting to wear on me. So I absolutely get blue
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: bulle monded.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Blue Monday is theoretically the most depressing day of the year.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I say, don't limit yourself to it. Every day has
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a chance of being the most fucking depressed day of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the year. I'm going to tell you tomorrow's Blue Tuesday.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna two Doug tomorrow, so and you've got the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: NCT tomorrow, so tomorrow is not great for us either.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: How have they the tech shops, like the electrical stores
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that, How have they not made a
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: spin on this, like you know, from Black Friday to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Great Tuesday to an Orange wed But.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Blue Monday is theoretically the most depressing day of the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: year because, as Tom says, this is when the Christmas
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: paycheck is empty and we're waiting on the January ound
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to come in. It's dark and grim as fuck outside.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: If you had a new Year's resolution in January, this
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is generally the week that you fail at it and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you realize I got a full year of the same
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: old shit going on. So it is theoretically the most
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: depressing day of the year. But I gotta tell you,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: tom ah yea, the Druids didn't come up with Blue Monday.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: No, they did not. They did not. As far as
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I can, I can remember a cop of it. It was.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: They tried to slap a label on everything, and as
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: far as I can remember it, it's got to be
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: twenty years old. Anyway, This blue Mound.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It's about twenty years old. And then it was initially
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: like we don't get a bank holiday.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: We should get a bank holiday for it. We should.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was that was what it was for.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It was it was trying to get people to book
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: their summer holidays. So this marketing company came up with
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the theory of blue Monday. We'll have a January sale
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for holidays JWT or Sun Traveler, whoever it might be
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Thomas Cook back in the day, that we would have
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: this special one day sale, call it Blue Monday, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: just nail it at the end of January. And it
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: was like special of no deposit holidays, so wait until
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: your paycheck comes in, but just get your foot in
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the door. That was Blue Monday. Nothing scientific about it. Buddy,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: trying to sell you two weeks into ourmolinos, that was it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I look at it. I mean,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's fair amount of marketing. To be fair, it is.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And you weren't wrong. I will were too wrong.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Like there are certain things where you see marketing things
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: slept in front. You're like, I don't what I don't need,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you know, a seventy four inch Telly in November. All right,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: people kind of need something around now, We.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Need something to look forward to. But what I will say,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: as time has gone by, Tom, it has become a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: bit of a drive for people to look after the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: mental health. And you know, let a thousand blossoms bloom.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That's what I say.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: If you're out there, blossoms blue.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You know, if you're out there and you're having a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: ship time in January or anytime, look after yourself by
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: all means. That's the advice of the Tom and Jerry Show.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But what we thought we'd do to not celebrate Blue Monday.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And lord knows, we're not psychiatrists or psychologists. We can't
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: give you any good solid advice other than maybe talk
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to a pallor or some shit like that. We came
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: up with a couple of Tom and jerryisms that might
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: help you through the rest of January and beyond and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to a much better of twenty twenty six than the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: world is shaping out for us. So a couple of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: just little tidbits and all this kind of thing. I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: pretty sure you can download all the mindfulness and meditation
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: apps of the day, but if you're Tom and Jerry,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this is what we do.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: You see the mindfulness and that for the most part,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: your average person that listens to Tamma Jerry Show is
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a cynical old bastard male and female, a bit like us,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: where you're like, you're smart enough to not be able
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: to get like I've literally got sent one today this
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: even it just beforehand from a guy that I kind
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: of know and knew to be a bit of an
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: oddball and mutual friend senter on and goes, what's this
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: like at and he's given this beach spiel to camera
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: about you are an acorn, and I'm like, for the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: love a fuck.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm gonna you know what, I'm
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: gonna be diplomatic tom when to say, anybody that gets
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a bit of relief from that one percent wonderful.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: But for the most part, yeah, it's not going to.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But I have a couple, I have a couple of
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: things that I know that would put me in a
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: good mood. And let's say, and I think it would.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I think this is for I think your average person,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: if you listen to me, trust me, you sometimes need
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to go to your fucking cave brain. And that's the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: big thing when it comes to like I won't I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: won't claim to know anything about depression, but the big
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: thing that actually just brings in the black dog, the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: fog over your head. If you can just kind of
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: go to your cave brain. It's small, but just find
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a place where you don't have to think about the
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: teens that are out there, so you cloud crowded with
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: something more interest and jir That's why I'm telling everybody
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: listen to this right now, get on the tools. I'm
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: telling you now.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I don't have to set you up too often, Tom,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like I was like
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: when we were prepping the show, I was like, Tom,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: maybe take this into a DIY space And I was like, no.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: No, no, not even close.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I knew, Jerry, Jerry, I'll get there, don't you worry.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: No, wait, there's absolutely my my home and beacon when
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: it comes to DIY O your laugh and it's quite
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: them dance. I'm getting more and more messages from people
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and I don't put these up to break. I'm just
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: it's just great content. Because I'm a comedian of sell
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: fucking tickets and I'll whatever. I've made loads of things
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that I wouldn't actually put Up'm not gonna put up
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: my fucking ouse, like, but you know, fun things that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: are really easy to make. Yeah, Like I'm not a carpenter,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: but a handful of tools, and you know what I mean.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: If you're if you're happy enough for to be seventy
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: five to seventy eight percent of the way there to
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: what you needed to do, then you've made something.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you. Likewise, Tom, I'm not a finesse man.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: No, but here's the thing. It's for you. You're not going
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: selling these things.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You know, you know it's for you. It's in your house.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And even if it's even if it's not doing the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: big projects that Tom does where he will do barn
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: doors and tables, en counters and all that kind of thing,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: even if it is fix one thing that's been bugging you.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out Tom at the weekend. There's like
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: a latch on the side gate that just doesn't quite
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: catch bugging me for about eighteen got to go, it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: gotta go, gotta go, or or you's going in for
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a fiver.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: There you go, like it's as small as that, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: you go, So where would I start? And I've started
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: a handful of friends who have listened to me, they'll go,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: what do I start? And you're like, well, get yourself
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: a cammony drill, something that will work as a screwdriver
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: as well as an actual drill, and get you get
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: your half to get something for eighty quid. Do you
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Something to start with, little toolbox,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: to keep a nice and tidy a couple of decent
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: head bits, you know, a couple of decent ones you don't.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Like I said at the end, at the end of January,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: money is not as plentiful as it might be. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: you don't have to get like a skill saw to
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: cut wood. Hands will do it hands on a bit effort,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: we'll get that job.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Get yourself an blank or inner one tools, Just get
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: one and just all you have to do with I'm
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: telling you now, most tools are there thereabouts what you
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: need them to do, whether it's all the way up
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to Milwauk, you're down to you know, parkside, park side,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: they'll do what you need them to do. Because you're
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: not going commercially working as a fucking cab.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna burn the arm are out of this thing.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Because you're working it that hard, it's not gonna happen.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: And for suggestions, look at tiny things. Put up a shelf,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: They're as simple as could be. Don't go making the shelf.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Don't be a fucking idiot like me. Go buy a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: shelf that's packed and ready to be put on the wall,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and it'll give you a good excuse to get yourself
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: a fourteen euro spirit level that your mind forever.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you one thing, Tom. If you're not,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: if you say now to us, well I don't have
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the hands to make a thing, let me tell you
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: what you can do, then, very simple, break a thing,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: all right, because I'm being sure there's gonna be something
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: that needs to come down the limb of a tree
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that's brushing again, a wind and now broken thing out
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the back that needs to be smashed up and put
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it into the brown bin. Like if you can't make.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: It, break it, well, here's the thing. I unless you
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: physically have, you know, a fucking altering, fucking dilemma when
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: it comes to your hands. Anybody, and even if you
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: are renting, oh sure I can't go hecking at the place.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: If I'm renting, make your just for the crack. Make
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: yourself a little coffee table, just a little side table
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: out of four piece of supply. Make a yok that
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: will hold your phone, just with a little groove in it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Charging station for me.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: These things. Get yourself a bit of flat pack for
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the crack. I don't know if anybody saw I jump
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: fl on the tools at the weekend. Can't start him too, young,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: jer you just can't. And he decided he didn't want
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to use the timber mallet, the rubber mallet for driving
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: in the little pigs on a flat pack thing. He
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: got his own. It's a a partial log with a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: handle out of it because just fits the hand way better.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: That sets in the hand batter.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Who did I know, like who might argue with him?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: He's a six year old And I described described the
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: word as ergonomically correct, and he just went, yeah, if
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: it's better in my hand, yeah, okay, we'll set He
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: looked at me like a seventy five year old chippy
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: on site for all his life, gone fucking what. It
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: was a nice look to see. But there's a six
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: year old. Sure you don't know why he's putting the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: thing together, but he's having some crack putting this thing together.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Could you give a fuck that it's a bookshelf afterwards?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Not a bit of it. But the process is what
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: made him happy. He didn't.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, Tom, a bit of a bit
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: of a DIY project, even if it's power hose in
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the backyard, and yeah, all you can do, job done.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: A bit of satisfaction will will chip away at any
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: blue Monday feelings you're feeling in January.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I'm in an apartment, Lads, what can I do? And rent?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Make a birdhouse, put it out.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: The plant, buy a couple of pop plants.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get it going, Just get something going that you
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: can go, well, this is a new thing that I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: have to do, and I gotta look after me let us,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: or I gotta look after these flowers, or I got
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: to feed the birds. It's relatively inexpensive. But my thing
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: would be to go make a thing that you can
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: stand back and even if you don't tell nobody about it,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: you can just look at it and go a.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Minuting Well, I got one for you, Tom, And we
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: started off the show now giving out about them, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: old saying the dog is for life, not just for Christmas.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: People think that that's an ad not to buy a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: dog for Christmas. No, that's an ad to buy a
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: dog for life.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I won't have a dog for life.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I literally have down here.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Pet is a wonderful thing. I gotta tell you now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Even if they do sneak up to the house, sneak
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: up to the bed at four o'clock in the morning,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: scared shit out of you, leave you awake all night,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you can't get buy to sleep. A dog is a
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: wonderful thing. I have to tell you. The company of
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a dog is a wonderful thing. It get It gives
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you an excuse for a wee bit of exercise, to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: get out and walk in the evenings, walk around the place.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It's a happy, waggy soul that greats you when you
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: get back at the end of the day. If you
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: feel that you haven't gone a full day without picking
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: up a hot shit from another animal's but dog will
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: sort it right out. Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, Just a
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: little play dough machine will keep laying out a little
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: fucking brown curls all the over the place for you
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: to pick up. And that in itself is a project.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: It's I have literally written down underneath. Get on the tools.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I've written down, get yourself a pet, Get.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: A pet, and like I say, you know these things,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: sometimes they aint free and sometimes the easy come by.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: But there are hundreds of thousands of dogs that need
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: adopting around this good country of Verse, which I always
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I always put that out with a caveat Tom, because
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: we would have adopted a dog, certainly would have gladly
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: loved to rescue a dog. Because if you rescue a dog, Tom,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you can also talk about it for the rest of
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: your natural life. Yeah. Yeah, it's smoked human being you meet.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It's the first thing you mention, right, But it's a
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: wonderful thing to do, to adopt a dog. They won't
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: just adopt the dog out anybody. They wouldn't give us
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a dog as we kids house.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: That was That was exactly it. We we were looking.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't even that we I did this. This at
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the time of a small apartment, but we didn't have
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: enough space.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all this kind of act, all manners of all
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: this and things. But if you happen to be within
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the thirteen percent of humanity in Ireland, that they will
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: foster a dog to grab that little for you, bastard
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and bring them into your house. Bring them into your life. Yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I will, I will. I will recommend pet ownership, cats.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Rabbits and even if it's down to well, yeah exactly.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: And that's what I was thinking, was like, well they
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: won't let dogs. And I was like, yeah, we'll get
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: yourself a salamander, Get an axl lotto yet, do you
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Get something that draws the brain.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Fish coal wonder. Just get this fuck around your house.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Makes you a little bit responsible for a little creature.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: You're like, well, look at this cool bastard. And if
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: you do have the opportunity to get a dog or
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: a cat, whatever you're into. But one thing I will
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: say is that a dog unless it's a complete brick
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: of a thing. I've yet to meet a dog. Though.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Didn't think you were an absolute fucking legend.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: The second the things you are like, you you're John
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Cena walking through the door, like you know what I mean,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: if your stone coat, Steve Auston when you walk through,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: just the best smashes the dogs, like, get the fuck
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: out of here. Up again, It's it's a very true, Tom.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I've never met a dog that fucking hated his owner.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You know, it's rare. It's rare.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe go from this.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: You might like you might meet a dickhead of a
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: fella and the dog's a dicket too, but they're dickheads together.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: The dickets together. The dog will never be like you
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: know this fucking this.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Guy needs to see a psychiatrist. Jesus Chris, I have
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: to see the son of a bitch.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Come more time. Yeah, dogs don't bark at.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Their rown or typically not, typically not, So give us.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Give us one more time, one more piece of advice
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: for the good folks here at at the Tom and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Jerry show for how to beat off those the last
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: of the January six.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting that he beats off anything, Jerry, but
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, if it does bring happiness
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: to you, just work away with yourself. But you kind
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: of said it at the top, and I didn't realize
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I hadn't. I'd said book a holiday whatever. Okay, it is,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: that's what it was. Blue Monday was actually aimed at.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But the this is wrong.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: This is self promotion. Go ahead, and we we are
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: this week now booking a holiday. So it is only
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: because we need to kind of go on on early
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: because there's a lot on this fucking year.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, yeah, recording schedule, talking about that later.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: It'll be absolutely fine. But this is another big project.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Do you think, Tommy, why why would tom just take
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: a fucking time to relax? No? No, no, the Omans
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: have decided to land another big fucking project on top
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: of my head. Look, I I know I can't wait
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: to do it anyway, I can't wait to get on.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: This one's going to be very interesting.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: You all right looking forward to the content, buddy, And
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I was gonna, I mean, tidy is self explanatory.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: The garret and I was getting a serious working overall.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: This office is getting a serious. As you can see,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: there's stuff slowly migrating out of here. Jerry. I don't
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: know if you've noticed the the fucking iceberg that is
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: to carry on of here, but there is basically made
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: for the so tidy. Yeah tidy if you can't, but
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: maybe you are a tidy person. I'm this sounds like
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: the ultimate self promotion, but it's genuinely not. And I
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: swear to god it was put to me at the
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: weekend because people were buying t shirts with it on it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I did a gig in Belfast Castle, Yes, Belfast Castle,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: North Belfast, fucking stunning venue. Two hundred and twenty people
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: packed into this big, long, fucking hogwarts of a room.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Was super cool. But the company that were promoting and
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: hosting the show, they actually had there were certain T
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: shirts and people were buying them. Who would know, right,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and these T shirts were on it. I think it
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: said Lefter lives here or something. I think a lot
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: of it goes to charity I think as well after that,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: you know, for mental health and stuff. But three as
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: they heard him, three different people came up to me
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: because one thing I will say about Belfast people, when
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: they're into your shit, they don't be fucking just you know,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: grumbling and going out the door going yes it was
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: good and go out. They will stop day and go hey, yeay,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: photograph please. You know they will.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Never never found it myself to him, They all gave
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: me plenty of time.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: But what I found was people actually saying I needed that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: That was fucking brilliant. I needed that to shake off
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the fucking cobbeds of the last couple of weeks. It's
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: passing rain now it's freezing, and they were all feeling
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: sorry for me having to drive all the way back
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: to prayer. But I'm like, okay, well paid, Okay, I
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be here, but it's said, I gotta sure I
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: get a great posts from it too. Obviously like yeah,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: but it was them saying that was needed. I needed that.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: That is after writing me. Now that's out, and they
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: could feel it. You could feel it from them. They
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: were like, that's after writing my ship. Of course my
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: course was fucked up.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: That'll see me right.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe I know that you only need another one. But
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: here's my advice. If you can just get to take
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: it to the gig somewhere, even if it's open mic,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: go you know what, it's based and steeped all in
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: good crack. Even if the standard isn't amazing, it doesn't matter.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: It's steeped. His whole premise is to make you happy. Yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: you know good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: A good comedy gig is just that it's a good
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: comedy gig. You'll see, right, and even bad comedy gigs
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: at other day tell them there's a little bit of
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: niceness to it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: But what I mean is, even if it's a comedy gig,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the whole premise of it, even if they feel because they're.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Not that way.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: That's is that the whole premise is that we really
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: want to make you happy.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: The intention is pure. The intention is pure, exactly so,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: without a doubt. And like the good thing about comedy
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: gigs tom is no matter of where you are in
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: this country, you're not far from one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: You're not really look it up, honestly, you'll you'll find
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: one that you go. Fuck. I didn't know that was
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: that was the thing running pop in there. Two hours,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: have a great time. You turn off the phone, you
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: don't think about mortgage, you don't think about nothing for
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: two hours. You're just engrossed in the spectacle that is
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: some people swearing in the dark at.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: You, some unparliamentary language as it is. And I gotta
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: tell you, if you like comedy, there's a couple of
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: gentlemen that I know that run a podcast who only
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: ever started comedy because it was the start of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: year and they said, fuck it, we'll give it a go,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and look how that worked out. Yeah, whatever it is.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: As well, with all that being said, whatever it is
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that you want to do, fucking do it. I gotta
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: tell you, as long as it's within the realms of
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: taste and decency. But if you ever wanted to sing, bosk,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: play guitar, you know, line dance, do comedy, do craft, maga,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: whatever it is you ever wanted to do, take it up.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I suppose, right, what's the worst going to happen?
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: The martyal words, Nike, just do it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Just do it, Just do it, and like you know,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: if you if you fail, just don't tell anybody. You
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: can go and pick your business.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: No, tell everybody, Tell your friends. It's a great story.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Nothing is Like, there's nothing more boring than somebody who's
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: just done grand who doesn't have a story. Go get yourself,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Go get you some stories. True, there's nothing better than
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: fucking failure because you know what, you got a fucking
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: story with your mates about you, like, because.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Tell you you get on the you get on the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: comedy circuit. Everything can be a blue Monday.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: True.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go, there you go, and we hope
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: this blue Monday is just a whole pile of nonsense.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: And by the time you're listening to it, gonna it's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: not gonna be blue Monday. It's gonna be.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Thursday.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it'll be coming back to like yourself. But again, yeah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: for all low level, just modeliness and all that kind
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: of crack. The advice we give you is fairly standard
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: if you're any if you're any deeper in the world
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: and that you know, give someone a bit of a holler.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: But from now time we're gonna push on with the
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: rest of the show because every God damn, that's every
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: week with these guys, Jesus Christ, we can't go a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: week without bumping into somebody that makes the two of
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: us go, what Jesus did you see this?
• 25:32

  Speaker 3: I'm so glad you sent me this. And even Atta
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: you sent me this, it was that she knew that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Yet this is right up our street, for God's sake.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Going back to Australia, we do love in Australia and
• 25:59

• 26:13
  Speaker 2: there's some people out there listening to the Tom and
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Jerry Show think that we make these things up. And

• 27:11
  Speaker 3: the surfing priest, I mean the priest. I mean, I'm
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: sure there's more, but this is the most famous one. Like,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: there's a d J in priest by the way, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: he's absolutely fucking class. He's headlining huge festival stuff. But anyway,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: this guy, he's making headlines himself because he helped a
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: couple of father and son not drowned only the other day.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: He's a thirty eight year old priest and he's just
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: not a by the time. So he was out in broom.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Is the name of the broom is the I guess
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the towns Land. It's in Western Australia.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Over perty fucking Yaby Creek is what it is.

• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Australians like the nail things. Guessing they lay the cable
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: there at one time. Yeah, but they got caught up
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: in a ripped current.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: It's on the road from Trunk and Bay.

• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I can't you know, there's so much I don't understand
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: about the sea and currents and how that you not
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: a bit of it. I know not to go into
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: it as far as I'm concerned. Waves come into the shore,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: so what the what the hell is pulling you out
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: into the ocean a little flash rip like I don't
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: know what causes them.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It sounds like magic to me, So why I don't

• 29:37
  Speaker 3: with a bog. There's not swirling around you look at
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: it and go pull you straight down. Yeah, that's it.

• 30:48
  Speaker 2: like a fucking young handsome dude.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Oh he's an absolute lasher to be fair, like you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: like he's known as the surfing priest. You can be
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: guaranteed because he's off limits. He's one of the most
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you know, sought after men in the parish.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean. This is a this is
• 31:07

  Speaker 3: He we had a like we.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Got It's not just like a priest that no one
• 31:17

  Speaker 3: I think he packed it in, to be honestly, I
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: think the temptation of the flesh. I don't know, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe he didn't, Maybe he didn't, but he
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: was he wasn't read there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: It was the mystery for the listeners of the Tom
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and Jerry show. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But all I know was he was a good
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: looking fella and he was a brilliant hrlor. So he was,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you know, he.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Was, he was a good I don't know, you know anyway,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: So listen, Father Liam Ryan pulled a couple of drangos
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: out of the drink. But it was this is that
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: That's great, that's great that he did that that one time.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Tom, Well, no, no, jer no, no five flipping hell
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: eye bloody five years earlier, didn't. He went ahead and
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: it was a bit further down. It was he was
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: in banker By.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Oh he was in bunker By. Was he right, yeah, yeah,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: just up away from sandtrape? Yeah, okay, fair enough, Yeah
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: he was okay, So.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: This is swimming priest sive yearies the same prize back
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: in July, the summer, the summer of twenty twenty. There
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: he is and he helped a fellow who sur survive
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: a fucking shark attack. So again he told the Catholic
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: leader back in the days, saw him off his board
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: looking really bloody. Fucking Helia lost and there were half
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: there was a half board floating there. Well, that'll be
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: a bad sign. Then he saw a great white shark,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: shark approximately thirteen to sixteen foot long. He took a
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: bite out of this lad Mummers was his surname. He
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: took a bite on his leg and was polite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: But he was. He was up there visiting another priest.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: That's actually that that was a part of the story.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: He was up like for your father, Ted. He was
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: up visiting another priest and he was having a bit
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: of a fucking thy gay hella before.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Before I go home, I'm just gonna dart out for
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: a surf here.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, of course Bunker Bay is well
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: known for having great exactly, so yeah, he was bleeding
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: profusely by the time he got him, dragged him in
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and of course put like a tournique and it probably
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean here fucking glistening in this
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: one had a little bit of a crawd that day,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and h just blessed the board of the Lord. Quite
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: a bit of solitude on the same boy myself afterwards,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, straight back to the communion back
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: and to surfing.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Up and down the West coast of Australia, solving mysteries
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and saving lives like this is an actual surfing superhero, Tom.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: This is like, you know, I was going to say,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: he couldn't be more of a miracle worker if he
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: walked on water. He looks like he's walking on water.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if they saw him
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: in the eighteen hundreds, they would either have burnt him
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: or you know, you know, elevated him to being a
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: saint on the spot. But he himself, he based the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: whole thing on not just having a six pack like
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: it's because a lot of that would help having a
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: strong core, but his was dwanty. Christianity is built on
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the principle of samone giving them off. Yeah. Yeah, you
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: can't fight to fight for what you would be one
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: of the greatest fears of a lot of people, a
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: lot of surfers, a lot of gry fucking shack that
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: gives you this in that moment. It's the grice of God.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: And may a thousand blossoms play.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: And me a thousand blossoms bloom. We've got the actual
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: surf Priest surfing up and down Australia, just busting asked
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: for the Lord. Now I have a questioned him. Well,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: and I searched and I couldn't find this. But he
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the dog collar on while he's surfing, does he?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: No?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, he's he doesn't have a little white collar
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: on hist his wet suit and like a little because
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: he's missing the.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Track there absolutely, do you know remember like in the Ozarks?
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Did you watch the Oars? I watched a couple of
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: seasons those I didn't even get through the full one.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I was I was building house this time. But anyway,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I watched a bit of it and they were saying
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: because the church had it burnt down or had fallen
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: down or something, but they were saying mass. They were
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: saying mass out on the on the out in the water,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: and people would fly they drive their boats up to
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: the side of the priests boat and he would say
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: mass from the boat and just just the hands because
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: they all kind of lived on the water. But I
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: got my thinking, you know, like if he was trying
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: to maybe you know, cast out the net for you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: a bigger a bigger flock, a couple of Johnny Utahs
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: out there, like you know, fucking dinger and anger, maybe.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: They might get father body out here for.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Father body just out there a wave
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: coming in, you know, giving out holy communion while surfing.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, like it would get me back to mask.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Like if all do I stand by my staunch fill
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the sea in theory, do you know?
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I mean I'd stand at the shore maybe or whatever.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: But look, who were waiting to say they're not going
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: to be filming it in this time anytime soon, filling
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: filling in around us. I don't mind, the only thing
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: to tell you.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I do like the surf priests because he doesn't exactly
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: what he says on the yeah is yeah priest. There
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: was a there was a tweetment around a couple of
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: years ago, and it was it was more like a
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: comment on the state of affairs of television shows today,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: and it said, back when we were growing up, if
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: there was a TV show called Surf Dracula, it would
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: be about Dracula surfing every week, New Adventures Dracula Surfing.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Now now now, if Netflix sort to make it, it
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: will be eight episodes of no surfing and he gets
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: the surfboard for five minutes in the finale.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's the That's.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: So when we say surf priest, this isn't a priest
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: that serfs on occasion and something good might happen down three.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: We're talking about an actual surf priest who surfs regularly
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: and has a higher savior rate than God himself.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: He's packing them in here.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: There isn't one single mention of him saving anybody on land, no,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: And what he's doing out in the in the in
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the sea, as I say said before, it looks like
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: he's walking on water because he's standing on a surfboard
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: in the sea and then he's got some fool has
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: his leg bit off by a shark, turning the water
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: around him. Red, they're turning the water into wine.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you're talking, I mean saying like they could
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: have thrown in He hasn't said it in here, but
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: he could have thrown in something about you know, given
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: the shark a bit of a you know, a poke
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: with you know, with a cruise fix like they haven't
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: said anything like that, but it wouldn't have hurt at all.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Again, it couldn't get more Catholic Tom if he had, like,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: you know, two thieves surfing either side of them.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Well, we do know. And if anybody was ever wondering,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: great white sharks are fat Protestants, and I don't. Jerry's
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: not a bit surprised by that because he knew it beforehand.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: And that's more than anything, probably half the reason why
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: he went out there just to just to see him off,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: but he actually got in back. In twenty twenty two,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: got the Australian Bravey Award for recognition of his rescue.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: You know what, it's a true hero. He's like it
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: feels like I haven't done anything else rolling at all. Oh,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: thank God for giving me the courage in that moment.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: And I also remember that all was not allowed. You
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: weren't you were saving somebody in the media. But like
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: you know, the the incense born nerdly, I was swinging
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: like that would look cool, that would be the coolest
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: thing it just swinging around, just puffs the fincense like
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: for all the surfers around him, but just lead them
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: all the shore. Like this guy is cool. And I
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if he's cooler because he's
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: a priest, because it's so out of left field for well,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: let me tell you, I think it is a bit cooler.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Like, let me tell you one thing. Surf for Savesman
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have made it out of the Tom and Jerry Show.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: And I tell you that much.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, my yeah, my question has been answered.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you. Let me tell you one thing
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: about Father Liam Ryan. And if you're if you're listening
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: to ear Liam, he's not very reminiscent of the priests
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: we had back in every day because we had old
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: fashioned like priest priests. They came to prey. We didn't
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: come to play. We came to pray.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I mean, look, if a priest turn
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: around just said to me, Tom, I don't trust the sea,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I couldn't fall out with him over that either, you
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, I couldn't. But if he
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: was like, have you any interest in seeing me? Do
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: would be my BMX ramp? I'd like one hundred percent.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Let's say any priest I have a new time, I
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: would have loved to see them over a BMX ramp.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So like what I'm saying is,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: while I'm with fathering him on this, I can't relate.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: It's the sea, and you know where I stand the
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: next I can't.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Stand that's the problem.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: My only problem with in with filling in the sea.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Only problem, and the only thing I see with filling
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: in the ze is if they filled into sea down
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: the east side of our island, we would end up
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: in Britain. That's the only thing.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Well, there's holes to every plant, Tom, when you dig
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: at it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: But look, I was a civil engineer in the previous life.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I can come up with a fucking solution.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: God, maybe we just keep on paving until.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: A stream yeah, put in a water feature, Tom.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: We just keep on paving until we hit friends. That's
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Well, all this to say, Tom, priests back in the day,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: we're very strange. We're cool like the new priests we
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: had these days, like a Liam Ryan and all that,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: and and the transition from old fashioned fuddy Duddy still
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: saying a bit of the mass in Latin priests to
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: surfing superheroes. It's just one of the many things that
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: you and I have witnessed in our travels through this
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: strange life. We've been in a life for about forty
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: some odd years. We've seen a lot of old ways
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: die off and new ways come along, and we talk
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: about them in the last segment of the show that
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: we call we Remember when when.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: I was a young lad twenty or thirty or forty
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: It's not just blue Monday this week, Tom, it's a
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: very special birthday for a very special thing.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Ting. Tell us what Ting is celebrating his birthday.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: This is it. The Spire of Dublin, my friend. The
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Spire of Dublin, the Millennium Spire, as you and I
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: would know, turns twenty three this Thursday. So why as
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: you listen to the Tom and Jerry Show on Thursday,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: because we know you're just going to be ripping the
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: packaging of this one. Open at five o'clock in the morning.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: It is twenty three years to the day since the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: spire was And I used this I used this word.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Once, say it opened. Oh, I thought you were going
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: to say.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Erected, commissioned, opened, put forth into the world.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. For anybody wondering what could it possibly be, it
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: is exactly what it sounds like. It's a giant spike
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: sticking up out of the ground in the middle of
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Dublin on our Appital's main street. Threw up what twenty
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: three years ago, twenty three years ago at one hundred
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: and twenty meters I think it is tall one.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Hundred and twenty some odd meters. We're gonna we're gonna
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: get it fire like you know, because here's the thing
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: with that with the spire, Tom, Like, if you were
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: asking anybody how old it was, you know what.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: There's no dating it for sure. Look you look at it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: You that could be found an area fifty one.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Like the thing the thing that we mentioned it, why
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: we mentioned it this week wasn't just because we've got
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: fuck call news. And the thing we reasoned why we
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: mentioned it this week was that at twenty three years, Tom,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: it has been in our lives longer than it hasn't
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: been correct. Yeah, I was twenty two when it went up,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: and I know I'm a little bit older than you. Yeah,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I was twenty two. Now it's twenty three, so I've
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: had more spire than no spire.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: What did you see that? I was always surprised that
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: they stuck anything up of that, you know, an elevated obelisks,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: shall we say, reaching to the stars like our are
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: our Egyptian for fourth bearers before because prior to that
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: there was a column there at one point. I'm amazing
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: they bothered the hole going with something that was going
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: to be going up the way, if you know what
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: It was Nelson's column, which you know fell down I
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: think in the sixties.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Isn't it just woodworm? Pork wood warns woodworm? Just I
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: don't know what it was. It was Admiral Nelson or
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: captain whoever.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Gallons and tears were shed that day, oh.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: God them mi see, I mean it.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Was it was so going to have to get that
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: back up again. And some thirty forty odd years later, Tom,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: people forget the original name of this spire. It wasn't
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: called the Spire. It was called the Millennium Spire.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: The Millennium. I'd forgotten it. I'd forgotten that that it
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: was called the Millennium Spire.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: And the notion would be that it would be to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: commemorate Ireland's journey into the new Millennium of the year
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: two thousand, which is why it opened in January to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: two thousand.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Classic Ireland, Classic Ireland, just like.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: You had one fucking job, live.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: One job, get it open before or in and around
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: the turnacy.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: And what it was was so we were doing something
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: to commemorate the millennium because London had put up I
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: want to say, the Millennium Eye, and now it's the
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: London Eye, but for years that was the Millennium Yeah.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: The first thing and the big arena that everybody knows
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: is the O two now in London was the Millennium Dome.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: It was all done to commemorate the year two thousand.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: This happened all the way around the world and Arland
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: was like, well, what are we doing for the millennium,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: And at that stage we were doing fuck call. So
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: then it began to leak. We were there when it happened, Tom.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: It began to leak into the press that what was
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: going to be built was a knitten.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Needle, but a giant hypodermic needle jar because it's made
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: a stainless steel. So yeah, I mean there can be
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: sniggers out the side of your mouth, given that it
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: was planted on O'Connell Street, which is you know, anybody
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: who's been down that street at any time of the day.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It's been. It's been hit hard by hard times about that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: It has definitely been. Yeah, I mean New Jack City
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: has nothing on it like it will be.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: The were You know, I was up and down to Dublin.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I was about twenty two. I was coming up and
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: down to Dublin just for shots and giggles.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Tom.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: But I know maybe you might not have been.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't have been. I was in I would
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: have been out of college and.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: A wharf priest all on yourself.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: I was an adventure I was adventured big style at
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: that time. I was. I didn't give a fuck if
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: they shot that thing out of the city into fucking space,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: because I didn't care what was happening to do. I
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: was in Cork and right then around that time that's
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: the only place you needed to be.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Dublin could crumble into the ground while I was up
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: and down to Dublin. So I actually watched it being built,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: and it took quite a I didn't stand there fucking slackshawed,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: open mouthed looking at it. Every time I went to Dublin.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: It was another bit of it. But they put down
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: like the base of it. I believe what's known in
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: construction as the first bit, and it was it was
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: literally just hordle.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Don't, Jerry, don't, don't undermine all our good work. Literally
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: you're underminding or a good work.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Stage one. Yeah, the first bit. But the first like
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I want to say, like forty feet of it, and
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: it really did look just like a canna, like an
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: empty can of beans, like a bean can, and that
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: with with rebar and whatnot sticking out the top of it,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: and the whole lot and that I want to say
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: is just like a base of fairly solid concrete mass
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: concrete wrapped in stain inless steel. And that's not like
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: that for a good while. I'll be I'll be welcome
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: to for correction that. But I feel like that was
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: like that for like six months.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: It was you I can remember it. I like that
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: which there were show updates on the news whatever, and
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: I remember thinking, well, this is just another fucking thing
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: that's not going to be done. And that what I remember,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: you like, the ORT would have their cameras nearly on
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: a weekly basis, going look at this, you know, this
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: thing going up and I suppose what it was doing
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: was probably I mean, you could get Shakespeare about it
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: and say, well it was it was the tides of
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: March and while the rest because everywhere else you looked
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: there was fucking tower cranes because it was two thousand
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: and two. The hole the Dublin was being pulled out
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: of the nineteen hundreds up into the sky. But what
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I remember like loads of people would just be standing
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: out watching it. And it was only recently I heard
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: some languages are brilliant, like Irish is great for having
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: words that specifically describe a thing without having to, you know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: say the full thing. But Italians have a language for aupulus.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: This is one word, yes, that stand with their hands
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: behind the back watching construction. Yeah, that's just one word,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: and think it is a set word because so many
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: outlets do it and often pass on. There're a bit
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: of advice as well, but they're other called o morell
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: more old man, but there it's a specific old man.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: It's the old countess standing and crossed behind his back,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: watching just the evilding's going on, and would pipe up
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: every so often as why yeah, he added long, who who?
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Who's Who's running the show in here? Now? You know these?
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: But that's all I saw was gangs of morel and
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: I remember I'm looking at it going that bill now
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: would drive me round the fucking ben because any billed
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: I was ever on it was closed off obviously to
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: the public.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: And you know this, this is this was This was
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: like if you went for your breakfast up in the
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Kyle Moore at the top of Clears, you could look
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: straight down.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I want to drive me fucking bananas. People
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: just can'tant. People who haven't a clue what they're looking at,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: quizzing you, just quizzing you.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's the kind of thing because I'm
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: looking at the I'm looking at the Wikipedia page of
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: it here, and it's telling me that it was built
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: in eight weeks from December int January. The memories of
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: funny thinking Tom, because in my mind that was built
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: over eight months.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: There's no way in entirety they had a big like
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: the fucking foundation that under that thing. Yeah, there's not
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: a prayer. The concrete wouldn't be gone off in the foundation.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, so something something something a little hinky here.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: But all that to say, bit by bit they put
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: in sections and little tubans of it, and eventually they
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: had the full height of the spy are reaching one
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty meters into the sky, signifying fuck all.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: It doesn't stand for anything. It doesn't mean anything. It's
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: not a representation of the Morrigan or Queen Mayve. It's
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: not Celtic in nature, not religious in any way, shape,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: make or form. It's a big spike, Tom.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was actually People say, oh, it will
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: have replaced it. It replaced Nelson's column, But I'd never
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: think of it like that because nelson column magically fell
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: over from wood warm during per I.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Don't know how to put up a column.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Warier nuts so. But prior to that, what I remember
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: going up as a child, going up to Dublin to
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: like the Dublin City Marathons. They outloud me running was
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: uh and Olivia lying in the flues in the the.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Jacuzie, which is which was a statue of I want
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: to say it was like some representation of Ireland and
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: water and all that she.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: Was a goddess. She's a goddess, which is she was.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: She was a pagan goddess, which is very fucking Irish,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: do you.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: So I remember having an issue with that. So you
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: root out a fucking thing that is rooted in Ireland,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: at least a representation of it, You're gonna put that
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: fucking thing there. And they could give no rhyme or
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: reason to it. They could give no They were like,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: well the spire you know, it represents us. Put to
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: the lay person looking at it, We're not all going
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: to buy your artity fartsy shite to the lay person
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: looking at it and go, that's a giant hype there
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: McNeil stick.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: I do want to I do want to say one
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: thing that that was said by several people. I was
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: up in Dublin and the thing was finished and I
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: was looking at it. I was always It always annoyed
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: me Tom that it lights up at night, but only
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: like the top twenty four of it. Yeah, maddening light
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the holding up from top to bottom could notice. I
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: My first thought was, well, clearly, we're going to make
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: a giant Christmas tree out of It's christ It's gonna
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: look gorgeous. It is going to be up. No, just just
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: a little tip of it. Yep, stupid, right, But a
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: lot of people ask me the same question, and it
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't such a stupid question, So don't don't think that
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: it's like half stupid culd cheese. They asked what does
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: it do? Yep? Like can can you go up on it?
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: That was a question.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Can you go up on it?
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Is it like a kind of thing that there's an
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: elevator in the middle of it that you go up
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: and you get a wonderful panoramic view. I was like, no,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: it's solid. The base of it's solid, like you know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: it's it's just it's literally just aspire.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: That's it. I was absolutely got it that it had
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: no end use. With's a piece of art, Like, we'll
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: take it home so somebody can sell it. What are
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: you talking about? It's a piece of art, can't throw
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: pennies in it, can't get a picture with it because
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: you can't get a picture with it.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: You can't get a picture with it because you just
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: look like you're standing you said, steel wall.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like what, there's no thing that if now I know.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: I do remember the engineering crowd was ARAPS and I
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: went for a job interview with them just before and
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: I was glad I didn't get because we're on about
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: sending me out to the Middle East and stuff. But
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: it's all going on here. I'd be fine that girl.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: But they would have just followed the follow what do
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: you want us to design? Or you want a giant
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: spike that stands up straight, We will design that for you,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: no problem. They wouldn't have any hand in the meaning
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: of it or what purpose was.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: And if there's anybody screaming at the at the speakers
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: here now, but lads that represent you know, please by
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: all means comments over here, I'm sorry. Here's one thing
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: I want to say to them. Go on, not everything's
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: appreciated in this time, Okay, yeah, go on. So classic
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: example of that will be the Eiffel Tower in Paris
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: when they built at first they said it was an
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: iceore and it was dreadful and we hate it and
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: it's disgusting and you've slowly the good look of Paris
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: and you know it's kick get it out of there, right.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: So it was always said the true time that people
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: would come to love the spire, that will become an
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: iconic part of the Dublin Skyline, recognizable by tourists the
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: world over. I put it to you now, Tom o'many,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: twenty three years after the spire was erected. I don't
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: know that anybody's warmed up to it yet, not a fit,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: or if they do, they just don't care. It's as
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: much a part of Ireland as like what.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: But that's the problem with it. It's so unimpactful. That
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: is just it's just there. It's just like that's that's
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: all it did. Nobody got over the angry. Everybody just
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: went huh, Like at least you look at the Eiffel
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Tower and you could see why people were. You know,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: they're French, they're gonna have a fucking issue with it anyway.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: But it's the same thing. You could see how people
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: would have when things were typically made beautifully back then.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: This was a big giant heap of fucking mechanics stuck together,
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: you know, but that is horrific, and you put you
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: can see there's something to it where you go, yes,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I get oh, but it is ours now and it's
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: quintessentially quit now there. You know, there are I think
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: there's one more? Is that one in America? I know
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: there's one in Las Vegas, but there is I think
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: there is another one in America. Could oh no, sorry,
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: there is another. No, there's a statue of liberty in France.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: But you could see why people would have an issue,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: and then it would start growing because well, nobody else
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: has one.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody else fucking wants one. Dum.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Do you know when it comes to the spire, I'm saying,
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: but nobody else. Yeah, you know the French would look
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: there to go, well, it's ours, it's our thing. Fucking great,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: it's ours. Nobody else has one that looks like that,
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: this is ours. But you look at the spir and go, well,
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: it's such a hmmm hmm. Nobody can go great, delighted
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: to have it. Nobody's gonna go I'll meet you at
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: the spire. It's not like the clock on their focon,
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: You know the way you get people posting pictures of
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: themselves trying to correct the leaning terwer a piza and
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: all that kind of thing. Yeah, like this iconic thing.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: People take selfies beside big ben people propose to each
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: other up the top of the Eifle Tower. The spire
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: literally is just there. Nobody. I'm sorry, correct me if
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. If you love the spire and you hug you,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: you hug it every time it sees it. But in
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: twenty three years I've been waiting for that thing to
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: warm on me. That I was that I would see
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: it and think, well, that's really nice, and you'd be
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: sad if it was gone. That was the other one.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I think that was the World Trade Center in New York.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: When those two buildings were built, everybody hated it because
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: it was this big blocky ah just plunk down two buildings,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: and through time it became part of the iconic New
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: York skyline. And when they were smashed and broken down,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: everybody was completely broken heart, not just with the loss
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: of life, but also the loss of these iconic landmarks.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know who missed the spire if it disappeared
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: in the moment.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, with you, j and I still twenty
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: three years later, feel the exact same way when I
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: look at the spire. And that is one thing that
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: I right guarantee if I text my old right now,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: he would text me back the same thing as what
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking. And awful ways to fucking stainless steal. Yeah,
