• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm proud to say I've never hurt anyone in all
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: my years of doing it. I can put it down
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: within a few years of where I want measure twice,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: cut once. That's where I was almost told. That's good
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: advice for anyone, no matter what you do in life,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: even if there's not any cutting involved. Oh, chimney dropping
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: all that matter. But you get my meaning. Stay safe
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and I'll see them.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: An old friend visited the house this week, someone who
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: hasn't been around the place for a long long time.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Not another colde and ask me I love that movie,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Jeff Goldblooms.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Not another color as Tom Finch's orange.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Oh now, fair play to you, fair play Tipperary's own
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Finch's orange. Nothing kicks like the bits in a king
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in a in a in the lemon, or the orange
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of Finches. Haven't seen it in a while, but an
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: absolute banger of a drink.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's got me under its skin.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah you remember the edge?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do do. I remember Tom. Hello to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: everybody of the listenership of the Tom and Jerry Show.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm Jerry McBride. That is Tom O'manney Comedians at large,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and we've got one thing to talk about right this second,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and it's Finch's Orange back on the market.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It was gone for like, yes, five or six years.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It's maybe a little more. The See and Sea crowd
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: had taken it over. I think there's they're they're jocks.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: They've taken it over, much like I think they've taken
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: over Bloomers and a couple of more things. Now they've
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: taken over. And there was talks they were side owners
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: coming back in a big way. Apparently it's didn't.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: There doesn't mean my ignorance I didn't know, I don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: know was gone was I don't have gone.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: They they downgraded it like it wasn't on it. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: weren't getting on the rag, you know what I mean.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It wasn't getting on the rig. But I heard I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: mooted rumors about Finches making a comeback, and I'm so glad.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, find it. It's why it's it's available in all
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: good supermarkets and probably some shit wants to Yeah, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: don't became one of these ones like football Special. You
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: have to know that yeah, yeah, yeah, or someone's going
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: somewhere will take you up a weave drop. I posted
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about it on social media more and more on social media.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: In a second guys, and I said, oh, I'm drinking
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Finches orange and everybody was like, does it taste the same?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, to the best of my recollection of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that I drank maybe ten years.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Ago, but does it give you is is there a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: kick to it now like you remember it had?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It's very nice?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It like, yeah, it's very nice.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: It is very nice. I will say, Tom, I had
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: cans of Finches orange. No sign of the lemon just yet,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: cans of Finches orange. And but the real test of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: any of these drinks is drinking a glass bottle of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it in a pub with bank cripts.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: There's nothing else. And that's I thought that that was just,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, something that we had. Psychological turns out no garden.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: To the sister who worked for Boomers at one stage,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: she gave me the full rundown that inside of a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: can of anything, yeah, totally changes the flavor and the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: extra on your tongue and everything versus a glass bottle.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Because so you're you're right if you think it's nicer
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out of the glass bottle, it is nicer because I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can scientifically show it's looking nicer than the stuff on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the because they have to add something to it's a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: different one that goes into the bottle, that goes into
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the can, because it has to counteract the ship that's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on the inside of the can. Yeah, because cans are
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: aluminum or whatever they are.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Makes perfect sense to me.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: There's a dog in here, someone there. I'm just gonna
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: say that. I don't fucking know where, but I.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Can watching them. They're lurking behind you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: He's not there now, it's just breathing, like Lord knows,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: dark Vader somewhere. Anyway. I'm in the in I'm in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the business and in the market for some bets. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: need bats, cricket or vampire vampire. I need the vampire ones.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I need bats. Apparently it's the best. I've ordered two
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: back boxes. I don't know how to draw them in.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to hear about you, but I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: don't know how to get them to commit. Apparently your
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: average Irish bat will scoff two thousand midgies a night.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so if I can go right, okay, So yeah, yeah,
• 4:30

  Speaker 1: could see you these little fucking deaths by a thousand
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: fucking bites. I can't be dealing with him. I just
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we're not on the same page at all. All the

  Speaker 1: bet I can. I can go nose to nose with
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a bat.

  Speaker 2: I will say what a midgie will not give you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: if he bites you tom his rabies? Yeah, or what
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: rabies are you worried about rabies the bat, you'd be
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: worried about it. I wouldn't be one bit worried about bats.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Aren't listen. If that bat is full of two thousand midgies,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: he has no interest in coming down and taking a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bite out of my sour hole. I can promise you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the last thing he wants is anything to do with
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: me and be like, oh Jesus Christ, I don't want to.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give away a million dollar ideas
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on the podcast that we.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Don't see a fucking dime again.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: How about this, right, citronella vapes.

• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough? Yeah, but I have never had you'd
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: never not have your vape, which is so you'd be
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: constantly walking in like a fucking Charlie Brown.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad it's not a bad idea. But
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I honestly I've had I've had all sorts of sprays,

  Speaker 2: and I said, yeah, he's dead, but he's like five
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: thousand years old dead. This week's death is a little
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: more fresh than the memory. But mention it anyway, just
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: so everybody knows. We're not making little of this lady
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: who passed away at the weekend. But it was such
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a fucking horrific circumstance that we decided that's fucking bind
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: tidy for a comedy podcast. No jokes about this. It's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a Brazilian lady, twenty some odd years of age, twenty one,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: twenty one died in a bridge swing accident. A video
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: of this went viral online and I had watched this
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like ten times before I realized, oh shit, this isn't Ai. Yeah, yeah, no.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You see these AI videos and it's like a lady
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: or a man with a big rock that smashes a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: glass bridge over a river in China and fifty people
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: faulted their deaths, and it's like it's Ai. Okay, that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the video. I felt, we were watching now, But no.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It is a lady in Brazil, a twenty one year
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: old on vacation when her falla. Her name is Maria
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Eduardo Rodriguez de Fritis.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, what you say vacation, She isn't from Chune,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'd say, don't know. In all fair, ince's a big
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: beef plant up in Tune. She easily could be from
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: fucking tub if she's.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: One thing for what I for what I know about Brazil,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Thomas that you can get in the air, report in
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Brazil and fly for ten hours and land in Brazil.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That's that's come big.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: She went on a on a rope bridge swing, little
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: little extreme kind of bungee jump sort of a thing,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and opted to go for the Superman dismount, which is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: which is where you can just let's drink you off yourself.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You can get two guys to lift you up in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: sort of like a dirty dancing uh you know. The
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: final dirty dancing post was extraction. You lift out and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: then they just hock you off the bridge, and she
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: opted for that. And as the video goes on, you're like, oh,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: she's not tied to anything.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when you hear the other people go, that's.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Lots of people around there, like, you know, should they
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: not be we look? Are we looking at what? And
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: they they just pitch her off the side of this
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and she falls forty forty meters to the ground and
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and unfortunately did not survive her injuries. The lads who
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: did it Tom, it must be said immediately, fucking scarboard.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: They like cartoon villains. They ran and were eventually found
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: by a police helicopter infrared camera that saw them hiding
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in the woods.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: They were. It turns out they were completely unregulated, they
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: had no insurances, they'd know nothing. They weren't. They were
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: at business of sorts. They named themselves a business, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: as it turns out they had This is a bit
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: frowned upon It isn't bungee jumping as people would think,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: because you need one hundred meters of a jump, right,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: do you know? Because when I heard about it first,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it was like forty meters one hundred and thirty feet,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: like you know what I mean? That's yeah, No, that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: not a bungee jumping hide No, but that's that's that's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that's you know, how many family aids in one hundred
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and thirty like you're talking about like eighteen nineteen stories
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: like off off a bridge skeleton bridge is in South Paulo.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And she went for it. And it's ill advised anyway,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: because it is just like we do it back Do
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you remember back in the day you do you be
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: down at the river and you had a stick on
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the end of it or a tire on the end
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of a rope and you swing out and that's grand.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: That's eight foot of a rope and you swing out
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your landing in ishke. This woman wants to be attached
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to a rope, fucked off the side and in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: hope that the you know, even with the rope attached,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you're going, well, I hope the rope is just the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: right length and that the lads, I don't come to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it like a grinding ankle splitting halt. You'll actually swing
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: back underneath. That's the hope, and that's what makes it
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: an extreme sport rather where bungee is you can bounce
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and come back up, you know what I mean?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Like, well, you hope.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, we've all seen those videos with the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: rope is a little bit too long too, but the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: there was nylane fucking rope at all tall and as
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it turns out, sitting on the ground, on the ground
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: behind her and Simpson joke.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You know, shouldn't this be tied to something that you've
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: ever seen in your goddamn life. We're not making light
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely her when her fiance stood there looking on.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: That's a rough one stand there like you know, so yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a dreadful situation. And our heart's go out to them,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: like you know, young people in giyant life and this
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: kind of shit happens. So me and Tom have like
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: thoughts on how this kind of thing in life can
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: be avoided going forward. And I'll give you mine now, Tom.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Really, it's really very simple. You've heard me. Everybody who's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: listened to this podcast for long enough has heard me
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: talk about my thoughts on health and safety and how.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You love it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You love it, you know. I love a bit of
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: health and safety. I love a bit of checks, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I honestly think I would be a pretty good health
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and safety officer.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Would be a horrible, horrible bastard.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I would not let Oh lord, Now, this is not
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: necessarily how people avoid I'm not giving people advice on
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: how to avoid bridge swing catastrophe in their life, because
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you're going to meet it on a day to day basis.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But just to avoid catastrophe anywhere else, whatever you're doing
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in this life, Tom, give it a wee check.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to get too deep into it,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: but I feel we're entering into an age where shit
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't work anymore. Okay. I've been in the last six
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: months in a public toilet having a sit down and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: people come busting in the door and I'm just like, hey, yah,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'm here, and they start the door. Does all go terribly?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: That that has happened to me three times this year?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many times it's happened to me
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: in my life?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Go on?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Three times that's it. They all happened in the last
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: six month period. And it's not me for getting to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: locked the fucking thing. It's just that the locks on
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the door don't work anymore.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do you know what. I in the last
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: maybe four or five days, I, myself and two other
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: people have talked to have had road incidents where cars
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: are just drifting over into my lane on a normal
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Like what level of fucking stupidity is coming over? Like, look,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: ineptitude is coming over?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: People have late Like, I'll tell you what it is.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you I can't I can't account for
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the driving one now, but I'll tell you what it is.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Just in your general walk around day to day life, Tom,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it's people are being paid less and worked harder and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: rewarded less, and there's a lot of fuck right, there's
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a wee bit of fucker coming in, And there's also
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit of I'm giving one hundred things to
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: do and eight hours to do it, and you know what,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of them. But I just I tried
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: my level best and I just didn't get around to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: doing it. I just didn't get around to doing this.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I just didn't get around to doing that stressed to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the high though fucking everything's mad expensive. I'm doing my
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: level best and I'm sorry. Of the one hundred things
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I was asked to do today, I got to ninety
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: five and one of those five was I didn't fix
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the lock on the toilet door. And someone busted in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a film McBride trailers around his ancles.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: You see, that's that's where this is where it starts.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And give it five years and we look like, yang,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Where it's not just paint,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it's painted on fruit on the front of the fruit
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Red shop. You're going, well, I didn't have time to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: pick the fucking fruit because your man had me breaking
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: fucking rocks for fucking forty two hours this week. Right,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna paint paint some apples on the front
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: of it, and you can take that for what it
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is and as good as I can do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, we we all learned about this
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: on the side Tom yourself or I learned it about
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it in the shop when my forklift course and all this,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and we were always told with your forklift, check your
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: forklift every morning before you go anywhere, to make sure
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: everything's right, the lugnuts are tight. All this kind of thing. Now,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: how many times did you fucking do it? Because, like
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I was driving it yesterday was fine. Here we go,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, going forward, you gotta fucking check shit.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You gotta give everything just a little. If you take
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the card of the garage and do a pre nct
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: check and the handed back you here's the thing. Just
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: go around and make sure they put the lugnuts back
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: in the wheels, because they are working like dogs all day.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Might have just slipped her mind? Might I only put
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: three of the five in? Like this is not beyond
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the realms of possibility. You gotta gotta gotta check, folks.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Otherwise you know you're you're, you're, you're just you're leaving
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: your hand out to be slapped.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I feel well, you see what you did, what you've
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: tracked over into exactly where I was coming from there,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and I'll be won't be as I want.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: To say one more thing before the pitch de orbit,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: because this this is, this is, this is personally this
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: is all right if you're a gym goer. I'm a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: gym goer as well. Here's here's where I got real
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: strict on health and safety of late and and doing
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: checks and all this. Anytime I stand on a treadmill
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: or an exercise bike or whatever the fuck it is,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: you rest assured, Tom, I checked to make sure everything works.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I turn it on, I turn it up to a
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: certain speed, to make sure that it's calibrated to kilometer
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and not miles, because it might be some calibrated to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: kilometer or summer miles before. It's just mixed. It's just mixes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Whatever it set, it's never regulated. And then you walk on.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: You go, well, I can run that six, and you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: put it up to six, and it throws you into
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the far fucking wall because that's six miles and not
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: six kilometers. See these things happen, right, I'll tell you
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: another one. On a lot of a lot of the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: treadmills that you're running along and think I've had enough
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of this. It's time for me to stop, and you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: press the stop button and it stops.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Not all of them, do Tom, No, not all of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: them do.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: You press the stop button and you're pressing it like hell,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and and it's never been fixed, and nobody's ever So
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I get on a treadmill, I put up to a
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: certain speed. Make sure that that's calibrated to what I
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: know is going to be checked. The ups and downs work,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: check it, The stops and starts work, and then I stop,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: go back to zero and start again. And I'm telling
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you fucking take that lesson through everything you do in life,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: whether you're a fucking crane driver or opening a bottle
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of milk like whatever it might be. Just check everything
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: is going to work before you use it, because nobody's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: fucking checking by your buddy. I'm telling you that now,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That's what I said.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: As we know, we do have a whole family of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: crane drivers listen to the show and trucks.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: We got a lot of We've got a lot of
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: working people.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: You know, some of them lads could actually probably open
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a bottle of milk with their crane. But it's it's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's simple enough for me jir and having run sites
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and have and like takeover situations after lads had already
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: been Actually, yeah, that's done there. Now there's one rule,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and one rule of only that. I was tall taught,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but the scariest boss I ever had trust no cunt
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that was literally his. He wouldn't trust the fucking wife,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: not that she's gonna run off me, but I mean
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: their mind might have been somewhere else. They might have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: been had your best interests at the They definitely doesn't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: have your best interest unless they're being paid to have
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: your best interest at the top of the top of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the pile. You you cannot take your eye off whatever
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a fucker has done before and going hey, because you're
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: going he could have just had a round wife, He
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: could have have had a cold with a bit of
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: brain fog. He or she may not. I'm serious after
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: every fucker because they do not have your best interest
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: at heart. And it's not impersonal, it's they're getting through
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: their day.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it's not that they don't have
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: your best interest in heart. I feel it's just like
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: they've got life is so fucking fuck these day's life
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: comes at you so especially.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: In Ireland right now, we're being worked to the fucking
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: cogs like we are down to fucking we're down to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the wires now and the tires at this stage for
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: some people's.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: And to that end, you know, even if you're like
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: so surely someone did it. I'm sure that lady in
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: BRAZILA was like there's no way that they would huck
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: me off this bridge without connecting a rope to me.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But those three men there and they were like, I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: just got to get through the fucking day. Yeah, thrown
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: another one over the side? Did you? Did you ship
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: none of us?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: That was the argument with the cops. They went, we
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: weren't sure who was to tie the rope. You go,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And she's not to be blamed because in all fairs,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: she's at a height, it's her first gig or whatever, and
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: she's in a heightened state of adrenaline, and she's not
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: She's just assuming that the job has been done. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I'll refer back to like we think their safety and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: all these things. I can remember being on things and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the welds on these fair ground rights
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and you're like what, and as I I must. This
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: might be my fifty reference to Fantasia Land, the time
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: one of the lads broke his fucking arm because there
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: was a girder in a tunnel on a fucking roller
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: coaster and he stuck his hands outside their like who
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't want who doesn't stick their hands outside the box?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: The fucking a roller coaster broke his fucking arm from
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a girder at forty five degrees like that was there.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: He might have been to one hundred. Fuck, but just
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: don't be fucking stupid. The good boy scout always double, Jaggs.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Always double. You had a lot to say on this
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: as well. That's my that's my take for avoiding peril
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: in this world. How are you gonna advise the good
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: people of the Tom and Jerry Show how to avoid
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: incidents during extreme sports?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Don't trust anybody with dreadlocks for one there, just at all.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: If they have dreadlocks or the look of a fellow
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that wouldn't mind having a head of dreadlocks, do not
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: let that fella take the most most crucial part of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. But I would stare. Here's the thing
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: when it comes to extreme sports, I have it much
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: like the bat right, much like the bat situation. Yes,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I can I can level in my mind a toe
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to toe row with a bat right. I can level that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I can't level with jumping off something and letting God
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and gravity deal with the situation and a couple of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: focos and a rope that will never happen me. I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: will never bund you jump.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I will because so your your solution is just don't
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: fucking do these things.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Don't do the stupid shape where you're handing over all
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the chips you're handing like you go, what's the worst
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that can that's the worst that can happen. You literally,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: like Jerry said at the top of the show, we
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to make little this woman. That woman made
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: herself into it, but fifty pence piece by the time
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: she was fucking done because she trusted lads to just
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: let the worst happen. They let They didn't do something
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that made the worst happen. They just let the fucking
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: worst happen.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: To your dreadlocks comment there, Tom, it must be said
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that a lot of these things are run by new
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: age Carni folk, you know what I mean. These are
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the same guys that would be like, why'd you like
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to ride the doublehel like sir?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistake.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: There, they're like, hey, you want to do a bunch
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: of jump off a crane over the harbor?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken. Brazil, we're playing in the World Cup.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: This is that day against I don't know who I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: can promise you as a football insane No fucking nation.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: They were trying to peddle through as many of these
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: fucking things to get down the pub as fast as
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they post possibly could. So, if you're ever trusting lads
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: with something, and if all it is is something along
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the lines of, hey, we're gonna get fucking pushing around, fine,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but I can't die right if you haven't paid full attention. No,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: not really, just my hurt, Okay, but when it comes
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to that level of trust, and the worst that can
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: happen is fucking horrific date in front of your fiance. Yes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that's the time.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Go by. More fucking camera angles by the than the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Kennedy assassinate.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Bring the bridge, And for whatever reason, it's doing the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: rounds and nobody's everybody seems so like easy going about it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: For whatever fucking reason, it doesn't make any sense to me.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I personally, I couldn't watch the video. I just saw
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the girl have been hyped up onto the lad's arms
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and oh no, I've been told about it now, but
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't now that I know the full
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: backstory to it, I fucking can't. This is going to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: be the bleakest thing ever. And in that my first
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: thoughts were, what were the three counts done that did it? Like,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: even even going on ski with ski, you know, holidays
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and stuff, I'm always looking up at the gundle that's gone.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And I remember pulling a fellow one day again. I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: went to get on one. I went, hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: fucking nut washed. The whole lot is gonna off the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: fucking into that, and then all fairshry man. It had
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: just been fucking service. But the bloke that did the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: service and didn't have the fucking brains clued in that
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: fucking morning, stopped the whole fucking thing, took that one off,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and then went through every single fucking one of them.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: After that, everybody was fucking raging at me for pulling
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: them on one of these fucking Now, it wasn't a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: high up thing, but you come off that and you're
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: gonna land twenty feet anyway on your fucking back.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Tom, you had a little final destination glimps in your
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: mind of something dreadful happening.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Like I guaranteed land on a fucking Douglas fir and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it got just straight up through my hole like flag
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the Impaler and out from one of my fucking eye
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: sockets and now everybody's laughing at Tom because he looks
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like a fucking the fairy top for Christmas tree in
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a horrific fashion.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Tom, I've I've bune, you jumped, I've yes,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I've skydived, skydived, I've run with the bulls man, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: have fucking I.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Can do the running with the bullsting. I could that.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I can do that. I can do much like the Siegar.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I don't trust high up gravity because the thing is,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'll do. It has no forgiveness
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: on me, and it's the cunt that I'm tied to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: or that tied me up to. Thing don't know. You
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: don't trust you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this, this one here is kind
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: of I thought I was heading into a life where
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: like me and the young lad would do all these
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: things together and I would take them skydia even when
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: he turned eighteen, and I would do all this kind
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: of crack. I gotta tell you. I watched that video, Tom,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and I think I'm coming around to your idea. I
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: know extreme sports are for extreme people. I'll tell you
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: what it is. Right, we'll get off this and move
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: on with the show. But I remember a time we
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: remember when I remember when to do dar Devil things,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: you have to be a Dare devil. There were ten
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: people in the world that did crazy shit like this,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: that did high jumps from movies that did you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you want me to fall off a ten story building
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and land on a cushion. There was a very speyized
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: industry of stunt people that could do these things. Somewhere
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: in their lifetime. It was like, oh, by the way,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: you can do that. You want to pay me one
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars American. You can you can bungee jump, you
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: can jump, you can swing, you can dive, you can
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: do whatever the fuck you want.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Quick question, when did you do the bunge jump?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Out of interest? I did it when I was twenty
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: so eleven, okay, as I measured these things.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: But I think there was there was a there was
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a golden age of extreme sports coming in where they
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: took it so seriously because they were very aware of
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the danger because we'd only just come away from me
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: with Canevens and all the do you know what I mean?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And I think there was a period where, you know
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: where we're like, fuck, what are we doing? Okay, everything
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: needs to be on point here. And then it's gotten
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to a point where, oh the fucking the ankle straps
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: are a little bit fucking warm. Sure, no, biggie, you
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Before they'd come with a date
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: on them, when they were like harnesses, you know when
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you go up on a high riser, you go Haronson,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: coming to date on them where they be calibrated and stuff.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And there was even I'll never forget there was a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I got a set of letders a friend who was
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: curating a famous cathedral in Dublin, and the ladder had
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: never been used and he had to give it away
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: because it's a check date, like it's working date, like
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: it had gone off, was a year gone and had
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: never been used and he was able to give it
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: away to me for another I think now we've gone
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: into a point much like you said about people just

  Speaker 2: americaned with the Freedom two fifty celebration featuring UFC on
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the White House.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Loans fucking incredible, like incredible. I think everybody at this
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: stage has seen the scenes, and you know what, like
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they knew would be a sellout. They you would be
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a big distraction thing because you know, for what, for
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: what popularity Trump would have had before this. He's in
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the ship at the minute, and this would have been
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: a good distraction for for you know whatever. But when
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you look at the lineup of fights that were on,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you're like, yes, uh huh, you're not. I'm just saying
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that's nottsleg any AFTERNAT. But it isn't the platinum, It.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Isn't your highest of the whole fight. I knew one.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I knew a couple of fighters, and I knew Amanda Nunas.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Who didn't she fight? Who she beat last? She didn't
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: she beat like Rander Rozsi or something like.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: That, nod therouses long. Randa Rowsei fought recently though, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: she fought Gina Corano in I don't know it was
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: a PFL or something and she finished her in seven seconds.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But the Judo.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Maria s sort of a thing. All this to say,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I I all this to say, what Tom all this
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: to say? Fucking nothing. I've got nothing to say about
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: this American thing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I've got loads I this was talked about much like
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: all the Madge ship that comes out of fucking America
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and out of the you know, the current administration, out
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of all the administrations, I don't believe nothing. But when
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: this came out and went away that it was like, yeah,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: she aenuinely didn't think this was happening up until Friday.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I think on Sunday at six o'clock, I swear I didn't.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I that's not no, I've gotten it wrong, Like you
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's you know, to be let's say,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: they'll have their press conference maybe there, and they'll go
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: fight then up the road and we sent stable, but
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they took over the To be honest to you, in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: one way, I'm I was kind of going, it's the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: best fucking use of that fucking place in a long time,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: like because it looked spectacular what they did. They had
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the claw from you two that they borrowed, that they
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: were using that stage, the class stage. But it was
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the I knew, like that's out in the lawn, which
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: is fine. We've all had kids parties out in the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: lawn like this is. But it was the press conferences
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: coming out of the fucking watch and call it build
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and blew my mind out of the what's the name
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: of the building, fucking the one with all the pillars. Yes,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and you know there's not n in there. The lads
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: are just widening the darkness to come down the steps
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: with all the military band beside them or whatever, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it's and it's like seventy steps all the way down
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and about it's it's it's.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Absolutely amazing to me. I saw one image there which
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: is just like the White House. And again, if you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: if you think if people have been living on a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: rock and haven't seen this, and they're like, what do
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: you mean UFC at the White House? I mean UFC
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: at the fucking.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: White House, where it's normally in an arena.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: They built an arena outside the White House. They shipped
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: in as many handpicked celebrities to come in. You know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: they didn't bring anybody that was puging into the clause,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: so they didn't bring in a bunch of lefties and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the ticket at event.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Zach Bryant band playing exactly like I do like Zach Bryant.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: But you know there's there's a shot, Tom, I'm sure
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: you've seen it. It's the White House in the background
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: with the U two claw and the k the KFC.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: The UFC KFC. We're definitely there, the UFC.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Cage and two lads swinging thomps at each other as
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: a squadron of fighter jets scream over the road. This
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: is of the White House pumping out red, white and
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: blue smoke. And I'm like, you cannot, you cannot American
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: more than this.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It was the timing. Whoever choreographed that to get waiting this,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: this is a very rare thing to do, this said.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So they had the blue leadsweater, the blue angels, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: they had the Navy fly a squadron what's known as
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a delta squadron of twelve. And you never see twelve, right,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: but of course Trump want to twelve. Whoever got twelve?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: But they set the timing amazing, a very good man singing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know who he was, very good man singing.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd have some sort of selim but he
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: looked like he looked like a fellow that would sing
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: at your wedding. And he got Rico Palazzo. Do you
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? They got it, but he got
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it bang on there and the free and these fucking
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: twelve JITs. And this is when I was we were
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: talking before. There was a moment right where everyone's like whoa,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and everybody's who and Trump is fucking salutin like he's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: in the army, and it actually cut to your mandana
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: White and then fairness, there was a moment of him
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: kind of gone, you genuinely just starts cracking. It looks
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: after the left by himself gone Fox's sake, even he
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: knew here it was a bit charry because that would
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that now would be out of his hands, like you
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, because when it gets to the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: White House, you're not allowed, you know, dender bringing in.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: But I mean the panto that it was like did
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you see now I'm telling you, my they are out American.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: You didn't mention the most American thing ever right now,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you in the second. First of all,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I says, they must have set up a good sized marquee,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: you know, a nice, a nice, a nice marquee. Now
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you know what a nice ones you'd see the punching
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: down racist or whatever that must be worth. They're changing
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: it coming out of right, because there's the big thing
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: is the you know the walk, the camera walk, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: all the fucking music started.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: They're all doing.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: It now, you know, they're actually walking to the stage,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you know what, fucking kid rock or whatever, and that's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: where they go. I did walk from. I suppose sure
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: everybody knows what it is, right, nobody's under any illusions
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that they're not getting changed inside the Marquee, right and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: warming up inside of the marque getting you're strapping on
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: your hands inside of the Marquee. Well, they must have
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: done him up in the Marquee and then brought him
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: in the fucking the patio door right of the fucking
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: White House, because then it would cut to down the corridor,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a carpeted corridor down to nearly the oval office, right,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: and one of the fighters, and I was fucking hilarious.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: One lead Diego Lopez, the Mexican fella you've ever seen
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: mullet skinny Diez, Diego Lopez. He sounds like a bad
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: wrestling there, right. Yeah, he wears a cowboy hat and
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: he has the least and I was, fuck, he's an
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: unbelievable fight. He's got you know that the religious kind
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of calligraphy tattoo across the chest. He's walking all Seniory,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: he's there. He's so happy, Senior, and he's he's walking
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and they've got two cops beside him walking out, like
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: even even on the main vent of the UFC, because
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: there's an undercaracter won't be on Telly even then trum
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Trump doesn't trust the fucking Mexican to be walking out
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: in the White House by himself. But they walked all
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: must have brought him in and for the panto of
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, walk out of the White House down
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a carpeted floor and put the patio door of the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: fucking White House and after.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Like it was.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And the very fact that they call the UFC Freedom
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to fifty sounds like I was sponsored by fucking Dodge Charger,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: because it's actually like if they were to do the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: way they've been doing it, it's actually you have se
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: three two nine right exactly? Do you know what I mean? Like,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it's there's no two fifties.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: A couple years ago.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So two fifty is to celebrate.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty years of the same of the
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: decoration decorated.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And when I looked at the lineup, I went, Okay,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I recognize some of the names like Justin Gagee. He
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: either would eat beat, a fellow from Georgia, Hard Cunt,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Sean Amalley and a couple of more greatest name. Now
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: this fellow could be a NASCAR apparently he's he was
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: amazing bow Nickel something Nickel. He was fighting too. But
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: again you're kind of going the more you the more
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: of it you could.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Have, you know, for the car.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: But I saw an interview with McGregor, who's I thought
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: it was going to be honest. They sucked him off
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: it right, and I thought, why they fuck him off?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It did they do with McGregor? Think he didn't buy
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: all accounts? And McGregor said that, He goes, I can't
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: be mad, it's just because they called the shot. I can't,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: he says. But they won't have me on two fifty
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: because they'll sell out to fifty. No bother there's two
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: fifty three. They'll have me on when it's in some
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: fucking count of a city like Detroit or something, when
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: there's it's And I get that in fairness, because I
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: get that business. If I was selling tickets, I would
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: do that to me too. Why would I double? Why
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: would I waste my tickets? Selling ability, and I think
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that's going to sell out anyway, Like.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean, giving away for free on
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Paramount Plus or whatever.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But I was wild for fox sake, Like I mean,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I don't watch the UFC anymore because it's all over
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the fucking top. Shout out to A much I think
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: a much more aligned with what MMA is. There's a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: group called Octagon and they are huge in Europe. And
• 38:44

  Speaker 1: microphone in and the man doesn't wax. He's got a
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: hairy back like a fucking mountain goat. He's got a
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: big hairy shoulders, he doesn't wax. I love it. Imagine
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: nineteen stone, grizzly bastard driving his shoulder into your face.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: You ain't putting that on the lawn of the fucking
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: White House, like you know what I mean, You're not.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the most American American America thing

  Speaker 2: challenge that we have set ourselves here. Now that we've
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: we've laid we've laid out the hoosey watsons of the
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: whole thing. Folks, we want to talk to you about
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: where America goes from here. Like we're here telling you
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: that this is the most America that America has ever American.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: But Tom, I believe they can America harder than this.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: There's definitely more in the tank there. I mean, we've
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: there's so many tropes that we can go into, but
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I could what could they do from here? I definitely
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: think we missed the trick, even on with the walking
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: out and all the rest of it. That was totally
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: misster trick. When you don't have somebody like bow Nickel
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: or Josh hokit never mind them coming down the steps.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I want to hear from behind everybody way down the back.

  Speaker 1: I want to hear, oh oh, I want to hear
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: a V twenty four fucking monster truck. Yeah, just grave
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Digger brings fucking bone Nickel to the fucking octagon and
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: he gets out on bonn at first, smashes two cans
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: stone cold style, pours him over into cans of Monster
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Energy drink they sponsored. They Yeah, they sponsored a lot
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: of it, like, they sponsored a lot of it. I
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: that was the They missed the trick. They made it
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: all very safe, Like I don't I want to see
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: him doing donuts out on the fucking the Rose.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Garden, tearing up the rose Garden, and yeah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Never promised you fucking one, and he ain't getting one
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: after I tear it up with fucking fourteen tons of
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: monster truck. There was a huge trick miss there.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you I went
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: from monster trucks as well, Tom, But you know it's
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: one thing to have a monster truck show up at
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: the at the White House and start tearing up the
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: rose Garden at this stage, I would be like, well,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the White House is just literally a fucking casino at
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: this stage. You expect that kind of tomfoolery, you know,

• 44:20
  Speaker 2: the Americans love more than themselves? Tom loveable of war?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Oh god, they love war, they love it.

• 45:36
  Speaker 2: With a generally flag on top of it. I'm reaching
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: here to him because I genuinely don't know what America
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: can do to be more American than what we witnessed
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: at the weekend. But that's what we love them for,
• 45:47

• 45:54
  Speaker 1: just drilling for fucking just drilling for oil everywhere, like
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I mean everywhere, like just having to go every fucking
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: place that has.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Been an every time they do is invade themselves. Tom Yeah,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: They did that a while back. I think they did
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: that a while back because people think that they're living
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: in the land of the free.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I get something to tell you. I gotta tell you
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I saw as I saw online there about America during
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: the week. Yeah, if it wasn't for the shootings, you
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: wouldn't know the concert schools.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: But I just delighted to take Diego Lopez made it
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: back out of the cage that they didn't just fucking.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: To catch one more Mexican. Well listen, speaking of schools,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: we're going to go back to school. We're going to
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: go back to school time for the final episode of
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the Tomment Jerry Show. Ladies and gentlemen, you know what
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: we do for the final episode of the commentary show.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: We take it all the way back to our childhoods
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: and talk about the ship we've seen in our forty
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: odd years on this planet. We call it we remember
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: when when I was a.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Young lad twenty or thirty or forty years ago. I
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: get very excited when you put something like this across
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: my my, my, my desk. Jerry knows, he knows what
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: what gets.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: What takes a few softballs.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: You can do there is and if it comes down
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to toyotas, I've had a couple of toyotas, and I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: get so nostalgic when I you know, you see the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: runs on Sundays during the summer. Sure there'll be a
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Capri or two. There'll be you know, there'll be a
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Mark one es cart and there'll be you know, old
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Japanese stuff and all the res you know, but but
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: they'll be done up. When I see a stock stock
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: like Toyota Starlet or you know, even a Nissan Bluebird
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: or something like, fuck me, look at that time to
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: be alive, it isn't that the outlet in me. But
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I can I remember when you and I said this
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: before about the tractors. I think everybody should have a
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: goal of a very basic car, like I mean super
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: basic for a week at least so you understand what
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the feeling of the road is. Linkages are stuff like
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that in your hands, so that it isn't just sitting
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: into the starship fucking enterprise.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Well that's that's that's what we wanted to talk about
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: on this closing episode. Closing segment, closing episode, No ship,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: We're not going anywhere, don't worry about that. The closing
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: segment of the show, we got to talking about cars,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: me and Tom and the all mod cons that we
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: have on our cars to day is and they're whispered quiet,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and it's basically like it's an iPad on wheels. So
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: what we want to do for the closing segment of
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: the show is compare the cars that Tom is talking
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: about that we ourselves were driven around in the eighties
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: and early nineties to what we would expect to buy
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: going forward here. And we didn't want to just go like, well,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: you know, top of the range, you know, super duper
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: land Rover, you know, range Rover, kind of a kind
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: of a job here, know what what would be an
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: affordable mid size family sedan, and that was indeed the
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Tyler coroll Again, we wanted something that was available for
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: purchase in the eighties that is also available for purchase now,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: which is the leef Talme. What you've done here is
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a matrix, Yeah, a little bit
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: of a chart between the Tiger Toyota Corollas of the
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: eighties that we would be familiar with and what the
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Tayota Corollas are today.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I call this thirty seven years I've gone places Corona
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: like it was. It's a hard one to find. As
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Jerry said, like he picked out like if you went
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: to land Rover Mark one or Defenders like they've there's
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: they're incomparable, you know what I mean. You've gone from
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: fucking thrashing engines nearly up to fucking spaceships.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: And I want to say like that, I want to say,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: like a Ford focus of today, I wasn't in the eighties.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Wasn't like Granada. Yeah yeah, well the Grenada, No, it
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: would have been. The Escort been the focus, and like,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: fuck the Ford Focus, I think we want, we want.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I fucking hate them. I had one for a brief
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: period I fucking hated and I had an Escort for
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: a little while to and I fucking hate it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: So Tom so so Tom. Features Okay, we assume that
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: these cars had engines and wheels and whatnot.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: But features features, well, I'll quickly run through, like the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: thing is cars is cars, cars, carrs Like your average
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: one that you were getting in the eighties was was
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: a four cylinder petrol. So that's exactly what it sounds like.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: There's four pitch to four settlers and anywhere from one
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: point three to one point six light, you know, not
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: over wardened by anything heavy metal with light on fucking guts,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and your average the new tire grows are all hybrids
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: now more or less. Now you can get I think
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: you can get a two liter petro one, all right,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: but typically they're like one point eight hybrids, you know. Electric, Yeah, yeah.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So number one that's one change straight away, horse
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: engineumer the horsepower.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the horse power had to come up in because
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: we weren't doing one hundred and twenty k you know,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: you know you weren't, as you weren't, so you only
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: anywhere between the power outputs are the ones you could
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: get where anyone between sixty five and one hundred and
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: twenty one hundred and twenty two, which was good savage
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: for putting a cart on the road. But you're looking
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and thirty eight to one hundred and
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: fifty six in the So that's really all. I needn't
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: go into the fucking anymore of the of the nuts
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: and boats of it, but all of us for the
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: most part, even if if you're fucking eighteen and listen
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to this, you know, there's a vast difference between eighteen
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: year old Corolla from now to the ones that are
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: there now. Right, Yes, but a lot of the features
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: that come in that would seem we nearly Mandela affected
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: ourselves into believing that we're always there. Weren't they They
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: were as there and but still something still remain, you know,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like there are symbols in life. So you give the
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: okay for when you're underwater and it will be there forever.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: When people want to put down a you know, is
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: what I wanted to say, Yeah, put down your window. There,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: put down your window. You don't go put down your window.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: You don't. Nobody does that, even kids that wouldn't know.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Seventeen year old kids driving a fucking new Lexus today
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know. They do the wind down.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: The accepted symbol for wind down your win is a
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: window being wound down, which is what we did in
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: the eighties, but not anymore.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Can you even get a car these days that doesn't
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: have electric windows.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I can't think of it unless they're in the back
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: for safety or something. I don't know, Like I I
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: can't think of it for whatever reason. I don't, I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: So. I know we had no electric windows back in
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: the daytime. No, at the corollas of old did not
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: have electric windows. An actual fact, on occasion, we didn't
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: have the handle to put it down, and you'd get
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: like a mini set of ice scripts to grab it.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: There was a brief period Yurre where I had a
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: starlet for a couple of weeks and the window wouldn't
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: stay up. They had. The only thing they would just
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: keep it up was a half a timber clothes peg
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: ram down the inside the door card to keep it up,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and that kept it up, and.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: That kept it up. So number one, Number one, the
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: engines are different from these vehicles in the forty year
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: span that we've been driving around them. And number two,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: simple things like how you put the fucking wind open down? Yeah?
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Nothing. There was not an option for air con now
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: it was. There was mooded that you could on a
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Japanese import because Japan was hot, right, and they had
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: means of doing it. But we didn't have air con.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: We did the UK did not have air con.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Did we need it?
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Didn't we need it? You had four windows that you
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: could fucking wind down to let the fucking didis in
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: around the place and just let nature's air condition and
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: cool you down the and as we used to say,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: up their way, put the blower on, Yeah, put the
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: blower on. Exactly.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, Tom, forty odd years driving, forty
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: odd years of living, thirty odd years of driving. You
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: see the thing in the blower of a car where
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: it's like there's just one symbol that looks like the
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: air's going over the car, and another symbol it looks
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: like the air's going into the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the fuck that is, Okay, and
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to find out.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, I want to tell you. So that's fine.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I'm happy in my ignorance.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you find I will say, if you find
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: yourself in the carry side and you get a wofull
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: bang of shit, or you're driving behind the yoke, who's
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: fucking an injector has gone, has blown white smoke out
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: of it, put the air in the vehicle, one in
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: the vehicle and circulates the one in the So nowhere
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: can central lockinger central locking?
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: No central lock. And I remember had a little I
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: don't even know if they're in cars. It was like
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: a little tit on the car that you pulled it up,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: pushed it down. Well, I mean that's put you who
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: had to do all four doors individually, You had to
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: do them all individually four doors individual you put your
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: locked down, you remember that you put you didn't put
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: the come here right, You would all have to walk
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: back to the car and put the button down because
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Jose didn't put the button down on her side. I
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: want to say, through time it became that if the
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: driver locked his door, the other forward locked.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: But that that's central Lockinger, that wasn't there. It wasn't
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: there in eighty eight.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Well, sorry when I say when I say central lock,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: and I mean like.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: You, that certainly wasn't there. That certainly that wasn't there.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: That's a standard in cars now.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Again there was talks of the Japanese imports having it,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember it in in nineteen eighty eight
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Toio the Corolla, no.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Not upper around car. Mcross will tell you it was
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: lock your door.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: So you you yeah, I mean never mind, you know,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: keyless entry. Obviously there was no bloop plub. There was
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: no blop blub, no blue club. You had nothing like SAT.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: You know SAT now as touch screens get the fuck
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: out of the USB charge.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Like that's the thing thom. Even like the notion that
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: you would have a little map in your car that
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: updated to where you were. That wasn't the thing. I
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: can tell you what you had. You didn't have sad
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: enough times, you know what you had? Ye had the
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: atlas folded up, balled up in the globe fox. Yeah,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: that the lap of Ireland that had a right way
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: to fold it. Fuck if anybody knew it. So generally
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: you just folded up.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: As best you can and it always ended up being
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: ten times fatter than it should have been exactly.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and the roads you wanted to drive, that
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: was where the crease was and you couldn't see shit.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: That was your sad enough now.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are not probably some surprising a lot
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: of people. What is surprising, though, what is surprising is
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: that in nineteen eighty eight Corolla did have a rare Again,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: this was one that was definitely on in some Irish roads,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: cruise control. Because cruise control isn't that big of a deal,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, it isn't. You're just
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: locking out the throttle. Really, that's all you're doing is
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: locking out the throttle. Probably would imagine it was nearly
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: like cranking a lever. It wasn't like pushing a button
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: where it electronically locks and it.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Wasn't putting the speed of up and down with a
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: little button on your wheel either.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'd say it was like in a track,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: this is going to be You just pulled you remember
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the tractors to head that throttle behind the steering wheel,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: and it was just a stiff bar. You just fucking
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: pulled down to a certain point. And I'm guessing that's
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: all it did was lock it out.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: You let me ask you a question, Tom, because it
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: never adequately explained to me what a choke was.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, it chokes. Yeah, chokes were thing She's well
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: pointed out. Yeah, chokes.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: So a choke allows more petrol in than it's efficient.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: You couldn't be driving around with the choke open because
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: you actually you would what's known as flood the engine,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: which is you're drowning your engine in too much petrol
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: that it can't burn give. But also sometimes you know
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like you to get out of the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: bed in the morning, you need to smell the sausages
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: down the fucking you know, But you couldn't spend your
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: day in bed eating Pucan sasages all day. You could,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: but you die of you know what I mean, this
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: is a very rough fucking analogy, but it is for
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: that purpose. It's just and small still two stroke engines
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: like lawnmowers and streamers, they will still have a little
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: choke on them just to allow a bit in, a
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: bit extra than you normally would need. Now, you need
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: that just to get the carr up out of bed
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: in the morning, especially a cold fucking morning when all
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: be all fuel with a drained back out of cylinders
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: and whatnot.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: So now my question is what change that that isn't
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: needed in care.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Automatic chokedure or don't worry about it. Oh, you don't
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: have to automatic choke.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: A standard in the twenty twenty six it is, it
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: certainly would be.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: And you you've you've better petrol technology too, like you've
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: better oil technology to where it's you know, you have
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: this stuff that will actually kind of stay where it's
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. You're not completely drained back into the
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: fucking tank or whatever like, so you will you'll have
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: a bit there unless I'm guessing maybe maybe over a
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: few weeks. But also you've got you've got the notion
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: of a hybrid too, which maybe I don't know. Can
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you start off an electric I've I've never I know
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: I've driven them on as higher cars, but I can't remember.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Can you drive off an electrics? John, don't really care.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's not you know, it's it's what about?
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: What about gizmos and gadgets? Some what gazzet?
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: So you're down to just the Are you sure ship?
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Are not pairing anything with anything? You know what I mean?
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: You ain't pairing your phone with your Spotify that's on
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: the fucking toutch screen.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Like Ken's stressed enough, folks, none of this ship existed.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: You had an a m f M radio and you
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: were fucking glad of it, which you analog style wound
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: from left to right?
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Would I argue Tom that you had an a m
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: f M radio but I also had l W on
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: it as well. Was it l w R a medium
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: or MW LW for long wave to pick up long
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: wave radio? Yeah?
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Long wave to I don't I know.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: I know the fucking bands have been shut down, man, Yeah, I.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Know, I know, and I mean this is the I
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: know that there's some old school rednecks that were listening
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: to this now going love that Joe bang a CB
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: area no, no, no, stay away. Look we're staying stock
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: for the minute. Yeah, yeah, of course, you know, not
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: all of them came with but you could if you
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: got if you had a good in with your dealership,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: you could get the cassette player with that. Because some
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of them just came with a radio. And that was.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: This is because this is a whole industry that today
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: they don't know about. That you would go and buy
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: a car radio. You would buy a car radio.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: And have them stolen. Like cars with cars, radios would
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: get stolen.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: They would break the window and commit and grab it.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Nobody's breaking the window of your of your reno captor
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: and robbing the media console out of the minute the middle. No, no,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: that's not happening.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, not of hope, and like it wasn't there
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: to be happened. You could there was. It was a
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: whole industry. I remember, I remember there was. I was
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: trying to explain this to the lad the other day.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, so there wasn't Spotify. It's like, so
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: where did your music stay? I said, stayed on a well,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: a little disc, a little black box. And he goes,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: so what what was on that? That's whatever one music
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: you chose to leave the house with that.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Day, whatever you put on it.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: So what band what? Technically you could record a bunch
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: of bands onto it. And this is a creature of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: a that's fine, you just left the time.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: But that I find when I'm want to explain these
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: things to my payer, the touchtown round and they're like, yeah,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: but that's Spotify, and I'm like, yeah, damn it, I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: just said it wasn't a thing. Yeah, I don't that
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: we had the option of Spotify or this, and we're
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: just like, era, fuck it, will take the tapes.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: There was obviously no heated electric mirrors back in the day.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: You manually move them little things with a do you know?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, they didn't heat themselves up in the frost?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Did they fuck steel wheels all round? None of this
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: alloy rubbish, you know what I mean? Not even a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: home cap. When did alloys come in to them? I
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: feel like that's like a nineties it is very united
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: scene because the any lad that I knew with the hand,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the civics or anything around, they were switching out the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: stock steel wheels that came on it. And I'm still
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: a fan of steel wheels. I like steel wheels amazingly.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: My car has steel wheels with the with the hubcap
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: on it, the whob cap that makes it look like
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: but I took them off.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: I love them.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: They're black steel wheels and they're big, aggressive looking fucking things.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: And you know, Watcher, I could hit a thousand bottles
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: and never been to any care, but I feel like
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: steel fucking wheels. And so yes, they steals all around
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: with the little cap, the little Toyota cap. And what
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I thing that they've come back with the the the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: the inside, and I've seen it on the new Toyota
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: land Cruiser that's out. They've gone for a very old
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: they've gone now for the little cap inside with the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: and stuff. There's little note there's beautiful little notions on
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: the new land Cruiser where they've harked back to, like
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the It's lovely. It's lovely to see that they've gone
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: back to come back to those old school ways. Aside
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: from that, like you're talking about a much tougher fucking vehicle,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: like the bumper, the mumper issue. You ain't getting air bags,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: you're not getting side I pack bags, you're not getting
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: side in pack bars. One of the first cars I've
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: ever had them was like sabs and Volvos, you know
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And we all thought amazing, thank of
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: a thing, but sh what would you need them for?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Do you know nobody really grasped what side impact bars
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: are fucking or roll cages? And no, no, no, no,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: we we we did.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Now it must be said. Now come around in the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: golden age of the crash test dummy, where oh yeah,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: it had to be explained to us on tomorrow's world
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: what an airbag was and what an air bag does.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: And here's crash test dummy footage of how that is
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: going to save your life and has been a life
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: changing invention in their timetime. Here's what it is standard
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: and charts days.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Thankfully, here's one for you that this this You may
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: not you physically have not had this moment of nostalgia
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: in a long time. Setting the odometer, as Americans will
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: call it, back to zero, you would have to wind
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: that little shtick sticking out of the console. Remember that,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: feel feel the chunk of it, chunk. And but in
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: the eighties you could Forst Bueller and I can guarantee
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: you this because you could do it on the nism
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Lou Bird in the in the in the fucking early nineties. Anyway,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: if you could get it up on chocks and put
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: it in reverse for a while, you can bat it back,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: roll it back. Now that very quickly, it was I
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: thinking about I just got lucky with that particular character,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: the Oulvolve vote that we had afterwards. I think that
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: was old, if not as older than it.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You couldn't do that. It just was not.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't going backwards for you. But I had that
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: popped into my into my zeitgeist. There was like a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: fuck you remember the button. It was actually a little stick.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't hit a button that set it to zero
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to see how your MPG was doing, or this fucking
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: thing just went yeah, wind me back if you want,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: don't if you don't the same, if anybody's kind of
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: what you talking about, the same like if you were
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: if you were doing the door on a fucking venue
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: and you're clicking the clicker, those same for little get
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: you know across a.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Row about nine across, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Other than that, what changes are there time, well, what
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: changes there are there is they were military grade. The
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: lights of the land Cruiser and the Corolla and a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: couple more were made with a twenty five year lifespan,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: and most of th most of their nuts and boats,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and if anybody's wondering and gone, especially the land cruisers,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: the land cruisers up until about two thousand and three.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: If you can get one two thousand and two, that's
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: in good nick, buy it and never get rid of it,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: because after about that point, Toyota, like the rest of
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: the world, realized, what the fuck are we doing?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Why are we making long lesson things? There's no money
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: in that now like you had absolescence.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Time, it was not weird and it was very much
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: commonplace that a Corolla starting its life in the mid
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: eighties would make it a three hundred thousand with normal
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: servicing obviously, timing belt and stuff like that. The plugs
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: and points. Plugs and points are gone now as well,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? But especially they're not
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: in a hybrid anymore. But having the consumables changed, we'll
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: call you so the likes that they your all your filters,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: your tupper belts break, but all that. But it wasn't
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: uncommon for them to make it the three hundred k
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: and people the thing, here's the thing, jer here's the thing.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: What a bulletproof Japanese car from the eighties gave you
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: or was allowed to give you no keeping up with
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: the Joneses, and that's what fucked us. Like I'm looking
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: around and God bless them there people are like the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: amount of eighty and ninety grand SUVs that are driving
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: around these roads.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Like I just what the fuck?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: That's an that's a that's that's not that's a half
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: a house in some parts of the country, Like what
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: that is a fucking and I you know, if like
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: you didn't go and pay monthly for nineteen eighty eight
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: fucking Corolla, you didn't you fucking bought the danger you
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: the thing, or you got a credit Union, you've got
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: a credit Union loan. You didn't go whatever that's pt P,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you didn't pay Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: you know PP. I don't know how that's I don't Yeah,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: this was the thing. And they quickly, they quickly fucking
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: turned about face and like we can't now in all fairness,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: a Toyota is still a great car. Like one of
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the finest ones you'll ever get is the two liters
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: D four D from the mid like a zero four
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: one of them on a Corolla fucking one of the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: greatest engines I believe there ever was. So it wasn't
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: that they quickly declined or an like that. But I
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: will tell you here now you were never gone. You
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: just you were set. You're set to fail now versus
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: back in the day, they.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Just lessons the thing. They don't exactly exactly.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know what, I never actually checked how
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: much was a nineteen eighty eight Toyota. It was five
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: onions and two pallets in Ireland. We'll say, yeah, we'll
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: transfer in Ireland. Let's see what I oh well, I mean,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, because of course we were in punts at
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the time. Yes, about nine thousand punts for the basic
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Still that.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Was a lot for a working land.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: It is dough, Jerry, But do you know what, here's
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: the fucking thing. It drove you for three thousand, three
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: hundred fucking thousand miles. And as your average person said,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: and how this came up to Jerry, I sent Jerry on.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: I think from a four truck, whether it was the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: F fift, like the F two fifty or something from
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the seven seventies in America, gave an optional extra of
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: a fucking chainsaw. That would sit in the engine bay.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: And that's what got our brain thinking, like with this
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: that that thing with minimum of vice scripts And as
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: my own outlad used to change the oil filters like
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: he would he had like he had a strap for
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: opening the fucking oil filter, but didn't bother his whole
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: He just drove a fucking flat out, big long, flat
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: oued screwdriver through the side of it and turned and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: just turned it. Yeah, and that was it, and then
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: he graced up the next one rammed it on. And
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: that's that's how you kept your car going, do you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, so you're nine thousand euros
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: what our pounds was money well fucking spent because you're
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: going to get your You're going to get your three
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand. And there was no like fucking shame of
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: choosing only driving a Corolla. People come around to go
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: fuck a fair place. You've got a car that actually goes.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you what it was, and it wasn't.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: You're paying sixty grand for a car and find out
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: after three years time that you never really owned it.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: You just sort of hired it in the time, and.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: It's broken your fucking heart. Lost.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: You're the security deposit on it and you're at Cars Tom,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: I feeling we'll be back in Corolla Land before too long. Yeah,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: but there you go. What we drove around back then
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: versus what we're driving around here now. Folks a few
• 1:09:38
