- 2:48Speaker 3: To be fair, it's it's not It's probably one of
- 2:51Speaker 3: the rarer pens you'll ever see out there, you know
- 2:53Speaker 3: what I mean. Most of my desk is full of
- 2:54Speaker 3: pens that I've swiped from hotels, corporate gigs that you know,
- 2:58Speaker 3: they've only got about three uses him. So I've just
- 3:00Speaker 3: got about ninety four dead pins. This is where pins
- 3:04Speaker 3: come to die, at this desk in front of my computer.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you one thing, Tom. For an
- 3:08Speaker 2: episode that the pair of us said we'd get out
- 3:10Speaker 2: a quick I know, fucking I can't help it. We're
- 3:16Speaker 2: there everything we can to not talk about the subject
- 3:19Speaker 2: that we're going to talk about. We're not going to
- 3:20Speaker 2: do a regular episode for you guys, because we don't
- 3:23Speaker 2: know what news is because it's not a week you know,
- 3:25Speaker 2: we can't tell you what the news is going to
- 3:27Speaker 2: be in six weeks time, or who this lad will
- 3:28Speaker 2: be in six weeks time, or indeed what we may
- 3:30Speaker 2: or may not remember in six weeks time. But we
- 3:31Speaker 2: said we'd do a summer special based on a wonderful
- 3:36Speaker 2: place we discovered.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Tom Well, we have dabbled in team parks a fair
- 3:40Speaker 3: bit down three years. You're a right good man for
- 3:42Speaker 3: a team park.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Love an l team park.
- 3:44Speaker 3: We even did Action Park as well. Go back and
- 3:47Speaker 3: listen to that one. Great if you ever think it's
- 3:50Speaker 3: opening a team park, listen to our coverage of Action
- 3:53Speaker 3: Park and don't do fucking any of that to the
- 3:56Speaker 3: total opposite to that.
- 3:57Speaker 2: But this one.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Jerry found this one, and no, it did pop up
- 4:00Speaker 3: my timeline, but a couple from a couple of different locations.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Because of course it's on brand social media.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, every now and then your social
- 4:09Speaker 2: media will serve you something that is absolutely correcting, right,
- 4:12Speaker 2: And we saw this place and we felt like we
- 4:14Speaker 2: might do it, might earn a segment in the show
- 4:17Speaker 2: one week, But you know what we said. You know what,
- 4:19Speaker 2: we can talk about this thing for forty five minutes straight.
- 4:22Speaker 2: That's an episode on its own right, And we bring
- 4:25Speaker 2: you this week's Somewhere special of the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 4:29Speaker 2: But a wonderful place in New Jersey called Diggerland, USA.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, I made the mistake of looking up
- 4:37Speaker 3: there's a couple of there's one.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Or two on to find out. Yes, there's a few
- 4:40Speaker 2: of them in the UK.
- 4:42Speaker 3: They're there. They do you know, it's like America affair.
- 4:46Speaker 3: But but they do do things farewell and fair.
- 4:48Speaker 2: They do it farewell.
- 4:50Speaker 3: They do things farewell when it comes to entertainment. Even
- 4:53Speaker 3: they can jazz up any scenario whatsoever. I mean, the
- 4:56Speaker 3: tall process of this place was clearly a fellow is
- 4:58Speaker 3: on site looking at two apparent is acting the acting
- 5:01Speaker 3: the pure bollocks, you know, like or you know, like
- 5:05Speaker 3: sitting on top of like you know, a stamper, just
- 5:08Speaker 3: going ay, yeah, yeah, okay.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Driving too fast in the mooxy. We'll get you up
- 5:13Speaker 2: to speed a little bit. Folks with Diggerland, USA, which
- 5:16Speaker 2: is in West Berlin, New Jersey, halfway between New Yik
- 5:20Speaker 2: and Philadelphia. So that's that kind of area that we're
- 5:22Speaker 2: talking about, and it is a theme park. It is
- 5:27Speaker 2: an amusement attraction with fun and games for all the family,
- 5:31Speaker 2: edging a little bit perhaps more towards the smalls, and
- 5:34Speaker 2: it is as as Action Park was ostensibly a water park.
- 5:38Speaker 2: This place has its own water park that brings you
- 5:41Speaker 2: to it, but then it also has themed attractions for
- 5:46Speaker 2: all the family that if you don't want to get wet,
- 5:48Speaker 2: or if you're lock up in the middle of November
- 5:49Speaker 2: in New Jersey and it's absolutely bit of cold, you
- 5:51Speaker 2: could still go on these rides. And as the name suggests,
- 5:54Speaker 2: digger Land, USA is a construction themed amusement park.
- 6:02Speaker 3: It got me quite excited when I started to looking
- 6:05Speaker 3: to do it the America and I was like, oh
- 6:08Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. And for the most part I was expecting
- 6:11Speaker 3: caterpillars minimum. I was expected caterpillars or maybe something Japanese,
- 6:15Speaker 3: but no, they're all JCB. How did John C. Bamford
- 6:20Speaker 3: from the UK get John C? How did he get
- 6:23Speaker 3: his gear over there?
- 6:24Speaker 2: I wonder Bamford is spinning in his grave like a
- 6:29Speaker 2: PTO shaft. Yeah, at the notion of this place, We're
- 6:32Speaker 2: going to get into it. Folks, if you're asking what
- 6:35Speaker 2: is a construction themed theme park? What is that? What
- 6:39Speaker 2: does that look like? It really reaches out to anybody
- 6:43Speaker 2: in this world that ever saw the bucket of a
- 6:47Speaker 2: JCB and thought, what if that picked up and span
- 6:51Speaker 2: you around? Yeah?
- 6:52Speaker 3: Or I wonder if he's going as lunch break and
- 6:55Speaker 3: I could jump in there and give.
- 6:56Speaker 4: It a go.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I don't care if you're a solicitor, a dentist, even
- 7:00Speaker 3: an electrician, a shoemaker. You've all seen heavy construction machinery
- 7:06Speaker 3: and taught to yourself for a second whether it's a
- 7:08Speaker 3: greater a dozer, an excavator, or is the Americans called
- 7:12Speaker 3: a beck hoo, which I've never been comfortable with.
- 7:15Speaker 2: That at all. Thought that speaks a different language than
- 7:18Speaker 2: me to But.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Everybody, I don't care who you are, a grandmother, a grandchild,
- 7:26Speaker 3: a priest, It doesn't make a difference. You've every single
- 7:29Speaker 3: person has looked at one of them went that I
- 7:33Speaker 3: love going that.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I'd love it. And it's you know, the Diggerland, USA.
- 7:38Speaker 2: You would argue that it is like, you know, perhaps
- 7:41Speaker 2: a little bit more a little boys, but again they
- 7:43Speaker 2: promise is fun for all the family, and I dare
- 7:45Speaker 2: say boys, girls, young old, bring granny and grandat this
- 7:49Speaker 2: thing if they've ever wanted to.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I'll tell you one, if they thought they didn't want
- 8:00Speaker 3: to go. Given the opportunity, any girl, boy, anybody would
- 8:05Speaker 3: want to go on one of these things. Tankas and
- 8:07Speaker 3: JCB's and caterpillar toys, they're all typically aimed at boys,
- 8:10Speaker 3: but I guarantee you put some of them in front
- 8:12Speaker 3: of a girl, she'd be like, I'm gonna smash. I'm
- 8:14Speaker 3: gonna smash with that. It's just people. I've been asked
- 8:18Speaker 3: before by city folk on radio members put to me
- 8:21Speaker 3: by what is the obsession with like diggers and tractors?
- 8:24Speaker 3: Would you guys like because their tip their monster trucks
- 8:29Speaker 3: and you get to drive them?
- 8:30Speaker 2: For real?
- 8:31Speaker 3: Are you joking me?
- 8:32Speaker 2: I've know, I've I've genuinely no answer to it. I'm
- 8:35Speaker 2: terribly sorry. Like what is what? What? What? What what
- 8:38Speaker 2: do you want me to What do you want me
- 8:39Speaker 2: to say? Why do you why do you love diggers?
- 8:40Speaker 2: In construction? I don't know. Why does the sunshine? Tom?
- 8:43Speaker 2: Why does water quench me in when I'm thirsty? Do
- 8:46Speaker 2: you know what? That's the depth of the answer.
- 8:49Speaker 3: You should be given you're dead right, I got I
- 8:51Speaker 3: got an ARCHI over you gave a right answer there. Hey,
- 8:54Speaker 3: So it's in New Jersey, interestingly named in West Berlin,
- 8:57Speaker 3: New Jersey. So you know, is that is that a
- 9:02Speaker 3: wealthier side? I don't know anyway, it's the I pick
- 9:07Speaker 3: up from the guy who is the lead CEO of it,
- 9:10Speaker 3: and I saw an interview with him. He looks like
- 9:12Speaker 3: a fellow that would know his way. He wouldn't be
- 9:13Speaker 3: looking for the unswitch and a hammer, if you know
- 9:14Speaker 3: what I mean. He has. He has a tool belt somewhere.
- 9:17Speaker 2: In the skin.
- 9:17Speaker 3: The skin say so like I would say so, but
- 9:22Speaker 3: brilliantly presented as he's talking through it. But he's talking
- 9:25Speaker 3: through all the rights. Now, we'll say, only an American
- 9:28Speaker 3: could open the phrase with this. With there was a
- 9:31Speaker 3: girl actually describing all the rights, as we'll go into
- 9:33Speaker 3: in a second. But she went, so, first, let's go
- 9:36Speaker 3: through all our dry rides. And I'm like, oh Jesus Christ.
- 9:42Speaker 3: And invariably she came to the end of all the
- 9:44Speaker 3: dry rides because she was all dry, ridden out, and
- 9:48Speaker 3: then she turned around and goes now moving on to
- 9:50Speaker 3: our wet rides.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, for folks the wet rids. It is
- 9:57Speaker 2: like for all intents and purposes, it is like a
- 10:00Speaker 2: water park. Is that is at the core and at
- 10:03Speaker 2: the heart of this fair ter.
- 10:04Speaker 3: We may skip over the water park.
- 10:06Speaker 2: We must get a water park, even though they've given
- 10:08Speaker 2: it the name.
- 10:11Speaker 3: We're gonna we have the pipe like it's a water slide.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's they've done their best with the water
- 10:17Speaker 2: slides where it's like the tube slide coming down into
- 10:20Speaker 2: the water and it's.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Like, I guess it could be a duct pipe to
- 10:25Speaker 3: get you that.
- 10:25Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you don't need to give your stretch
- 10:29Speaker 2: and all.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Here we have the vortex generators, like look, it's a
- 10:32Speaker 3: fucking it's a whirlypool like it is.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Here's the qualpecks.
- 10:38Speaker 3: But don't get too wet under the console viping. It's
- 10:41Speaker 3: gonna get you know, so your man is so we
- 10:44Speaker 3: may skip over that.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Because we may skip over that. And as Tom's as
- 10:47Speaker 2: Tom said already, you know other digger lands are available.
- 10:50Speaker 2: There are a couple of construction themed theme parks in
- 10:53Speaker 2: the UK and such like. But we're gonna, you know what,
- 10:56Speaker 2: what can we say? We're kids of the eighties America
- 11:00Speaker 2: shines bright in our eyes. It's still Reagan's America to us.
- 11:03Speaker 3: What can we say, almost almost Ernold Schwartz Sniggers of America.
- 11:09Speaker 2: So before we get into the rides, we just want
- 11:11Speaker 2: to we want to give you if you haven't already
- 11:15Speaker 2: just used your phone, which you're probably listening to this
- 11:17Speaker 2: podcast on to look up Diggerland, USA, and haven't have
- 11:22Speaker 2: an idea of it. Maybe I don't know, maybe you
- 11:24Speaker 2: don't have your phone, maybe your phone's out of reach.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Maybe you're lying in bed and you don't want to
- 11:26Speaker 2: get up and look at it. When we say that
- 11:29Speaker 2: these are Diggers repurposed as rides, I don't mean to
- 11:32Speaker 2: say that it is a roller coaster with a digg
- 11:36Speaker 2: or airbrushed on the side of it. We're talking about
- 11:39Speaker 2: they bought a JCB, yeah, and they changed the bucket
- 11:43Speaker 2: of it. And I'm so literally it.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I'm so happy when I got to that point on it,
- 11:48Speaker 3: because it was like one hundred percent that was going
- 11:50Speaker 3: it'd be some modified safe Not saying that Jacb's aren't said,
- 11:54Speaker 3: but what I'm saying, do you know some amusement park
- 11:57Speaker 3: crowd built all of this and they just they stuck.
- 11:59Speaker 3: The calves have a JCB on the side of it.
- 12:01Speaker 3: But you know, ever since plastic, it's not going to
- 12:04Speaker 3: be the real deal, like you're expecting these things claim
- 12:08Speaker 3: straight off a site.
- 12:11Speaker 2: I mean, you know when we say that there are
- 12:13Speaker 2: that are there are diggers your children can drive around on.
- 12:15Speaker 2: We're not talking about say the digger that will be
- 12:17Speaker 2: outside the supermarket that you put fifty p in and
- 12:20Speaker 2: it rocks back and forth and it's got like a
- 12:21Speaker 2: plastic Bob the builder on it.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Believe us when we say that these are yellow diggers, Jerry,
- 12:28Speaker 3: I'm telling you now, at least one of those diggers,
- 12:31Speaker 3: if not all of them, the seat on them has
- 12:34Speaker 3: fat burns in them.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and the corner of it's all where off.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I guarantee you.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Well, we get into a tom I'm on the website here,
- 12:41Speaker 2: I've clicked into attractions and team Park, and we will
- 12:43Speaker 2: take a look at the water park or have to.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I have to, just just to reiterate the water park.
- 12:48Speaker 3: When we were saying like there's a bit of a
- 12:50Speaker 3: stretch on what they're going with, and it's.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Just oh yeah, well, we say what we say. I
- 12:55Speaker 2: know one you're looking at going.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Fucking it's just a wavefool thing they've called clawhammer Cove.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Jesus Christ's tomb shaped like it's no, I'm looking at
- 13:09Speaker 5: it there and it's like you could, I guess maybe
- 13:13Speaker 5: say that it was kind of clawhammery, but no, it's
- 13:15Speaker 5: more like hatchet cove.
- 13:16Speaker 3: It's a hatchet head. That's what they should have gone with.
- 13:18Speaker 2: It's shaped like a hatchet head, but it's literally like
- 13:21Speaker 2: a pool, shaped like the head of a hatchet and
- 13:24Speaker 2: it makes waves. I guess that's it, and that's it,
- 13:29Speaker 2: and that's clawhammer Cove. But believe me when I say,
- 13:31Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, that's that's one of the rides where
- 13:38Speaker 2: more thought has gone into it than most. Because we're
- 13:40Speaker 2: about to get into some very father ted tunnel Agats territory,
- 13:48Speaker 2: I'm going to start you off, Tom with some of
- 13:49Speaker 2: the some of the minor attractions from some of the
- 13:52Speaker 2: smaller kids. You've got your mini dig you've got your
- 13:54Speaker 2: crazy cranes, and you've got your lumberjack claw. Now what
- 13:57Speaker 2: these are area, I'm sure maybe your young man has
- 14:03Speaker 2: had something not unlike this, or if you've ever been
- 14:05Speaker 2: in a playground. You'll see something like this where it's
- 14:07Speaker 2: a little two lever digger that your kid can sit
- 14:09Speaker 2: on in a sand pit and through the manipulation of
- 14:12Speaker 2: two livers, it will it will dig right. Nothing nothing,
- 14:16Speaker 2: no engine, no nothing. It's just like a little digger
- 14:18Speaker 2: that you can dig sand with. I remember I had
- 14:20Speaker 2: one when I was small.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, I know. Yeah, No, I will give them
- 14:24Speaker 3: their due, going pure American on this one. There's hydraulics
- 14:28Speaker 3: in this yokture.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Oh no, these are Tom, These these are not those.
- 14:32Speaker 2: These are actual little diggers. Like do you ever see
- 14:35Speaker 2: the council come to chop down a tree and they'll
- 14:38Speaker 2: pull up with a with a trailer and a little
- 14:41Speaker 2: digger will drive off two ton Yeah, and like seven
- 14:44Speaker 2: lads will stand around and watch one lad with the
- 14:47Speaker 2: little digger, and you can tell everybody's just looking at them,
- 14:50Speaker 2: going like, how come he's getting to drive the weed
- 14:51Speaker 2: digger today? I might turn to drive the weed digger.
- 14:55Speaker 2: It's like a row of four of those we diggers
- 14:58Speaker 2: and like a sand pit for children of all ages.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Because I would get on this thing, Tom to just
- 15:05Speaker 2: get on and dig to their hearts content.
- 15:07Speaker 3: You said at the top that this is probably going
- 15:09Speaker 3: to be aimed at the smallest lack and stuff. I'm
- 15:11Speaker 3: not seen anything.
- 15:13Speaker 2: You'd have off this thing. Kids around you can't be
- 15:18Speaker 2: getting off and then you would have to how about this,
- 15:25Speaker 2: You would have to drag me off this if you.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Get a with another digger to actually drag you.
- 15:30Speaker 2: You'd have to turn around with the scoop of your
- 15:32Speaker 2: digger and reach into the cab of mine and yank
- 15:35Speaker 2: me out of it. It is, it is. I cannot
- 15:39Speaker 2: stress how much this is genuinely just a one bolted
- 15:44Speaker 2: into place, so the treads of it are not going
- 15:45Speaker 2: to roll you left, right or anywhere. You're literally bolted
- 15:47Speaker 2: into place, so you can pivot around, you can dig.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And the the other variation of it there that I said,
- 15:54Speaker 2: the lumberjack claw. It is a claw. It's the claw
- 15:57Speaker 2: that you would use to lift logs that you can
- 16:00Speaker 2: I used to lift blocks and lift it around the place.
- 16:01Speaker 2: So it's literally a hydraulic version of the thing that
- 16:04Speaker 2: you try and win Teddy's on full size. What are
- 16:07Speaker 2: you driven by? Children?
- 16:08Speaker 3: What I like is that that's not where you know,
- 16:10Speaker 3: they don't just end and go all right. There's because
- 16:12Speaker 3: that's that's a ton and a half two ton that
- 16:13Speaker 3: you can dig with. But then they've gotten they've got
- 16:16Speaker 3: the real small ones like we're nearly doing indoors but
- 16:19Speaker 3: these are open cabbed ones. But they're genuine jsp and
- 16:21Speaker 3: it's like knocking over bowling pins. But that's for tiny children. Yeah,
- 16:25Speaker 3: but again it's not the fifty I say, fifty cent
- 16:28Speaker 3: two yours. Now they're them right and yeah, still a
- 16:32Speaker 3: proper two levers seat ashtray beside you digger that these
- 16:37Speaker 3: kids are getting to have a whippat flag. There's another
- 16:39Speaker 3: one pulling. You can lift ducks with a little hook
- 16:41Speaker 3: and stuff. Again, it's not on at the end of
- 16:43Speaker 3: a stick. This is what a fucking real mini digger like.
- 16:46Speaker 2: This is what we're a real mini They've kind of,
- 16:49Speaker 2: I will say, they've played the same hand over and
- 16:51Speaker 2: over again. They have got bored with the mini dig
- 16:53Speaker 2: or digging you can get. You can play mini dig
- 16:55Speaker 2: or bowling, or you can play a minidig or huck
- 16:57Speaker 2: a doc And it's like, Okay, I think we're just
- 16:59Speaker 2: playing on making mini diggers here. I'm not giving out tom,
- 17:02Speaker 2: I'm not complaining.
- 17:03Speaker 3: To be fair, there's only so many places you can
- 17:06Speaker 3: go with this. I mean the name is literally on
- 17:08Speaker 3: the tain and what they're supposed to be doing, like
- 17:10Speaker 3: there isn't you know, dancing diggers.
- 17:12Speaker 2: It's just fucking digging.
- 17:14Speaker 3: So I mean the fact that they were able to
- 17:15Speaker 3: do a few bits, but the fact that they have
- 17:17Speaker 3: various sizes. There's no Sorry, you're you know you're three
- 17:20Speaker 3: years old. You're not getting to go on this. Oh
- 17:23Speaker 3: you're three years old. Don't worry. We've got a digger here.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Free get out.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Like I love that these are not plug plugged in either.
- 17:32Speaker 3: These are diesel driven diggers, do you know what I mean?
- 17:35Speaker 3: Like they'll have to be a break in the day
- 17:37Speaker 3: for some lad to come over with a jerry can
- 17:39Speaker 3: and top these up.
- 17:40Speaker 4: Yeah, inrease these things like first thing in the morning,
- 17:45Speaker 4: Like most of amusement amusement parks is like teenage kids
- 17:49Speaker 4: working journ the summer and you know they got to
- 17:51Speaker 4: clean the pool or got a scoop of shit out
- 17:52Speaker 4: of the pool, or you know, they got.
- 17:54Speaker 3: To clip the hedge, or maybe it's caddyshack and they
- 17:56Speaker 3: got to polish the balls. Some lad some lads had
- 17:59Speaker 3: the job of great and nipples, who was there exactly? What?
- 18:06Speaker 2: Okay, okay, what have you got there? Tom on the
- 18:07Speaker 2: list of forty plus attractions on Bigger Land.
- 18:10Speaker 3: So they also have the teleporter as well. I mean
- 18:13Speaker 3: they call it Telescopper Candor, but you know it's a teleporter.
- 18:15Speaker 3: It doesn't teleport you to another dimension. As we've talked
- 18:18Speaker 3: about in the past. It's a load all, a JCB
- 18:22Speaker 3: load all.
- 18:22Speaker 2: You've seen him.
- 18:23Speaker 3: They're on four wheels. They've got two jacks that go
- 18:25Speaker 3: down the front, but a big extendable arm that goes
- 18:27Speaker 3: out like fourteen meters out the front. Well, we've got
- 18:30Speaker 3: one of them and fitted just to the front of it.
- 18:33Speaker 3: He drives you around a yard by the looks of things,
- 18:35Speaker 3: but there's like twenty seats on the front of it.
- 18:38Speaker 3: It just drives you around and then extends you up
- 18:40Speaker 3: as fuck up into the air. Now, I like the
- 18:42Speaker 3: fact I'm looking at it, gone ash, that's a guess.
- 18:45Speaker 3: That's something you'd see at the bench of show here
- 18:46Speaker 3: and come August. But there's a bit of danger involved there, right,
- 18:52Speaker 3: because it's a fella.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Do you know?
- 18:55Speaker 3: These things have all been typically at team parks, they've
- 18:58Speaker 3: been tested with rigorous amount on thousand hours and stuff.
- 19:02Speaker 2: This is the ground shottle. It's the ground shuttle, ground shuttle.
- 19:05Speaker 2: It's a it's a tellyport.
- 19:07Speaker 3: Thousands of hours, you know, ultimate, ultimate mathematics to get
- 19:12Speaker 3: these right. Whereas John Joe here can put this at
- 19:15Speaker 3: any angle, he can tilt from left to right, he
- 19:18Speaker 3: can be driving around, he can fuck it up into
- 19:20Speaker 3: the air vertically. Like there's going to be a bit
- 19:24Speaker 3: of shaken. I can tell you I've been on the
- 19:25Speaker 3: end the end of a teleporter. This is not This
- 19:29Speaker 3: is just a lad driving the thing, and he has
- 19:34Speaker 3: multiple options as to what way he could put you
- 19:36Speaker 3: up in the air.
- 19:37Speaker 2: This is the most itchy and scratchy land ship you've
- 19:39Speaker 2: ever seen.
- 19:40Speaker 3: It's exactly what But I love that it's a like
- 19:44Speaker 3: it looks so shiny and so American, but the reality
- 19:48Speaker 3: is knowing what these things can do. There's an element
- 19:51Speaker 3: of danger to all of this, Like they have there's
- 19:54Speaker 3: no plastic buckets on the front of the diggers.
- 19:57Speaker 2: You know, not for nothing as well, Tom, Like, remember
- 19:59Speaker 2: where this place is.
- 20:02Speaker 3: It's in West Berlin, which is in New Jersey, which.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Is in America. Yes, and what have they got in America,
- 20:11Speaker 2: you know in terms of cleontele to these places. Yeah,
- 20:16Speaker 2: if you say, you know this thing is kitted out
- 20:19Speaker 2: for twenty people to sit in the cab of a
- 20:21Speaker 2: or sit on the scoop scoop of a of a
- 20:23Speaker 2: teleporter as it lifts you up in the air, and
- 20:26Speaker 2: then you get twenty lads rock up in the rascal
- 20:28Speaker 2: scoot or twenty high calorie humans.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean fair play, isn't.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Goddamn And you said I could go up in this thing?
- 20:41Speaker 2: Is my constitutional rats, But sir, you can't put all
- 20:43Speaker 2: twenty if you fat fox on this.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Up in your tailporder.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Okay, what fucking hell, let's test the load limit. Let's
- 20:51Speaker 2: tip to test the tip limit on this thing today.
- 20:54Speaker 3: That's the thing like that joke will be beeping like fock.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Do you know me? Now, I will say, right, this
- 20:59Speaker 3: is probably this not getting off the fence in any
- 21:01Speaker 3: ways way in the middle of this, but I have
- 21:03Speaker 3: this is all the signs because New Jersey is New Jersey, right,
- 21:06Speaker 3: who's the who's the who's the most famous TV star from.
- 21:12Speaker 2: From New Jerseys?
- 21:17Speaker 3: This has all the signs of money laundering from the
- 21:21Speaker 3: fucking and.
- 21:22Speaker 2: I got my guys washing money out and take a
- 21:24Speaker 2: your sh putting the kids up.
- 21:25Speaker 3: And it is all the signs of it, doesn't it
- 21:27Speaker 3: like like they just they brought all these machines in
- 21:30Speaker 3: off a job that they you know, maybe they're on strike.
- 21:33Speaker 3: This fucking thing, this this park wuld be closing.
- 21:36Speaker 2: The unions, bushing my balls. You've got machines shipping here
- 21:38Speaker 2: doing nothing. The big tea, I got something we can
- 21:41Speaker 2: do with it all. I've never watched the Sopranos. I
- 21:43Speaker 2: think that's what they's only.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Oh you would like the Sopranos now, they were sticking
- 21:47Speaker 3: with digging because we.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Were Sopranos some other day. Tom, I've got a ride
- 21:51Speaker 2: for you here, buddy.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Go on.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I've got the spin Dizzy, the spin Dizzy?
- 21:56Speaker 3: Which one of them?
- 21:57Speaker 2: Are you brave enough to conquer? The spin Dizzy? It
- 21:59Speaker 2: says the specially designed twelve ton high Torq JCBJS two twenty.
- 22:04Speaker 2: You gotta love the Americans. The love letters on.
- 22:05Speaker 3: The guns or machines, the full breakdown of its name,
- 22:10Speaker 3: and everyone's given its damn near VIN number and every
- 22:12Speaker 3: wind screen like come on.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Well, this promises adrenaline junkies the fix they need Tom,
- 22:18Speaker 2: their words, not mine. This will give adrenaline junkies the
- 22:22Speaker 2: fix they need. Who fucking wrote this anyway? How will
- 22:30Speaker 2: I give you the fix that you need? Tom? The
- 22:31Speaker 2: spin dizzy is nothing if not at JCB. At JCB
- 22:36Speaker 2: on treads as you would know. And instead of a bucket,
- 22:39Speaker 2: it has a row of eight seats that you can
- 22:42Speaker 2: sit in. The JCB lifts you up, Tom, and it
- 22:45Speaker 2: fucking spins you around, spin that is it eight rotations
- 22:50Speaker 2: and puts you back down. It's like the chair planes,
- 22:52Speaker 2: only it's a fucking digg up.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Well, I mean they have modified a few things. Now
- 22:59Speaker 3: I see the like the dig around, which is buckets
- 23:02Speaker 3: turned up, you know, which is the as you'd imagine
- 23:05Speaker 3: like a merry go round with the horses. Well this
- 23:08Speaker 3: is buckets turned on their sides, essentially spinning around like
- 23:12Speaker 3: you know, Like I've seen some cool things done with
- 23:15Speaker 3: diggers digger buckets and stuff like that. Like and I
- 23:17Speaker 3: have been in a real one while the excavator drivers
- 23:20Speaker 3: spinning around and it's a Friday evening and nobody else
- 23:23Speaker 3: is around, and got go on, how fast can you
- 23:24Speaker 3: go around there?
- 23:25Speaker 2: To look? Ak mere? We were all kids getting carried
- 23:27Speaker 2: around on transport boxes, and they I have fond memories
- 23:30Speaker 2: of being in a transport box being carried around the place.
- 23:32Speaker 2: I know. It's so when I say this hits my
- 23:37Speaker 2: my pleasure centers now.
- 23:39Speaker 3: The only thing I will say, right, like they've you
- 23:41Speaker 3: run out of names after a while, you know, there's
- 23:43Speaker 3: there's there's a few of your kind of but much
- 23:48Speaker 3: like the dry ride, chat out do you want at
- 23:50Speaker 3: to begin? And right, there's a few of these. It
- 23:54Speaker 3: doesn't translate well at all, though I mean it could
- 23:57Speaker 3: most some of them could be like like title porn
- 24:00Speaker 3: movies and mostly gay porn movies is well on top
- 24:03Speaker 3: of that, like or I mean you have the Backhole Adventure. Okay,
- 24:07Speaker 3: you have the Downboard Derby.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Bull.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Those are base speaks for itself. There's but it's.
- 24:14Speaker 2: I think I see the one you're looking at.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Here, Jackhammer Bay and one of the ones that I
- 24:23Speaker 3: have definitely been really part of, and I've talked about
- 24:25Speaker 3: it on many occasions, but I would have never suggested
- 24:28Speaker 3: name in this fucking activity, the greased Beast.
- 24:32Speaker 2: I'm looking at the grease beacet here.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Take us through the grease Beast, so the grease space.
- 24:36Speaker 3: If I'll give you a brief rundown as to why
- 24:39Speaker 3: I've now you all know we've drawn drawn silonce and
- 24:42Speaker 3: stuff in the past. But I once this was describing
- 24:46Speaker 3: how country my school was. That one time the road
- 24:48Speaker 3: flooded and rather than leaving us off for the day,
- 24:51Speaker 3: a farmer agreed to go around as the school bus
- 24:55Speaker 3: with a silence trailer and collect all those all the
- 24:58Speaker 3: primary school kids, fifty of us and fire us into
- 25:02Speaker 3: the back of a trailer and drive us through the
- 25:03Speaker 3: flood and then for the crack we all want to
- 25:07Speaker 3: be tipped out much And this is this is I mean,
- 25:11Speaker 3: Marti Mon was going to make it into this episode
- 25:12Speaker 3: a few times anyway, with the tailed tailboard swinging, it
- 25:16Speaker 3: actually flapped open and we all slid out onto the ground,
- 25:19Speaker 3: roar and laughing as the tail the tailgate is still
- 25:22Speaker 3: swinging back and forth. Could have snapped anybody's teeth when
- 25:25Speaker 3: it hit.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no, would would be the least thing I could
- 25:27Speaker 2: have done.
- 25:28Speaker 3: This is now that you have to be a minimum
- 25:30Speaker 3: height of forty two inches whatever that is in you know. Yeah,
- 25:38Speaker 3: no tank top, guy camisole or spaghetti straps, half shirts,
- 25:42Speaker 3: crop tops or halter tops. Tube tops are similar outer
- 25:45Speaker 3: wear because this is a serious operation. It's a fucking
- 25:49Speaker 3: trailer jar, it's a trailer, but they essentially they Now
- 25:56Speaker 3: I read the description. Our unique attraction features twelve custom
- 25:59Speaker 3: bill seats in the rear hopper section of a steel
- 26:02Speaker 3: demolition trailer raising passengers over thirty four feet in the
- 26:06Speaker 3: air be simulate simulated dump of its cargo. So you
- 26:10Speaker 3: don't actually slide out. You just get strapped into the seats.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I thought you'd slide out a bit to feel like
- 26:15Speaker 3: a bit of silas, but you don't. You just get
- 26:17Speaker 3: tilted at an angle of what now they're saying thirty
- 26:22Speaker 3: four feet maybe for the people at the front of
- 26:25Speaker 3: the trailer. At the back of the trailer, just tilt forward, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 26:29Speaker 3: yeah yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 2: If you're if you're towards the if you're towards the
- 26:31Speaker 2: exhaust end of the trailer, you're you're feeling a mild tilt.
- 26:34Speaker 2: If you're at the other side, you're screaming forty five
- 26:38Speaker 2: degree panic. Here's a wonderful thing about this, tom It's
- 26:40Speaker 2: like a lot of team parks, say you're Disneylands of
- 26:42Speaker 2: this World and all this kind of thing is like, oh,
- 26:45Speaker 2: space Mountain, feel what it feels like to be glassed
- 26:48Speaker 2: towards the heavens and a rocket as you journey around
- 26:51Speaker 2: Jupiter and comeback and in digger Land, USA. Is like, hey,
- 26:55Speaker 2: imagine you were graveled.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Yeah, or imagine you're at work.
- 27:07Speaker 2: If you ever wanted to feel what it felt like
- 27:09Speaker 2: to get tipped out the back of a trailer like
- 27:11Speaker 2: a dead fucking body.
- 27:15Speaker 3: It just the fact that they greased beasts, like they
- 27:18Speaker 3: all have greased. That would actually be the one that
- 27:20Speaker 3: will require some of the least greased because it just
- 27:22Speaker 3: goes up and down, like I ain't not going the
- 27:28Speaker 3: place right. I would still give that a goal.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Know again, you'd have to drag me off a time.
- 27:32Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing.
- 27:33Speaker 3: Hilariously like it's it's that is the Father Ted. Now
- 27:37Speaker 3: I go for another Father tabe.
- 27:38Speaker 2: No, I think I'm gonna be go on, go on. Well,
- 27:41Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I'm going to say. I don't
- 27:43Speaker 2: want you to go with the father tag because I
- 27:45Speaker 2: have another slightly more father taed one up here. It's
- 27:47Speaker 2: another one of the you can drive any thing you
- 27:49Speaker 2: want here. It's like, hey, imagine you drove a little
- 27:52Speaker 2: four by four or imagine you drove a tractor, or
- 27:55Speaker 2: imagine you drove like a fucking milk float or whatever
- 27:57Speaker 2: it is. They literally have a little track for any
- 28:00Speaker 2: for everything, little jeeps, little little every goddamn thing, little
- 28:04Speaker 2: bobcat diggers, whatever it is. Come to the bobcat circut,
- 28:07Speaker 2: all this kind of crack. Come to the what do
- 28:09Speaker 2: you call those little four wheel drives that that you
- 28:13Speaker 2: know you might see at a golf.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Course or so such the gator or the mule.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yeah, all this kind of Hey would you like to drive?
- 28:19Speaker 2: But the one that got met him and I gotta
- 28:21Speaker 2: tell you this is it's just so simple, it's beautiful.
- 28:25Speaker 2: It's the shaken roll. It is a little figure eight
- 28:29Speaker 2: loop that you can drive around in a diner pack
- 28:33Speaker 2: CC nine fifty double drum vibratory roller. They are giving
- 28:38Speaker 2: you a steam roll or two.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Drive fair hard to roll a fag while driving one
- 28:43Speaker 3: of them.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
- 28:45Speaker 3: I can tell you that from experience, it's fair hard.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Like that should be part of the experience seeking you roller.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Yeah. See, if you can eat a corn dog will
- 28:54Speaker 2: drive in this fucking thing. It's I think they're missing
- 28:57Speaker 2: a trick with this. Whereas they will give you a
- 28:58Speaker 2: steam roller the driver around the track. They don't appear
- 29:02Speaker 2: to give you anything to crush, which I would imagine
- 29:05Speaker 2: would be the fun of this.
- 29:08Speaker 3: The number one thing I was thinking was that, in fact,
- 29:12Speaker 3: it was a suggestion that I would have had for
- 29:13Speaker 3: any any of the things, like bring your sister's barbie.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean when you bring your
- 29:18Speaker 3: brothers tonka, smash the ship out of it?
- 29:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, bring your Bring your dead beat dad
- 29:22Speaker 2: who doesn't pay alimony, Bring his like baseball trophies, drive
- 29:26Speaker 2: them into the ground.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Bring an actual effergy of him, like bring a voodoo him,
- 29:30Speaker 3: bring right.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, bring your mom and dad's wedding picture and just
- 29:33Speaker 2: drive across it and.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Just have him feel sciatica while he lives in Florida
- 29:36Speaker 3: with that new bitch.
- 29:38Speaker 2: But honestly, they are missing the trick because if you're
- 29:40Speaker 2: giving me a steam okay, number one for anybody that's
- 29:42Speaker 2: ever driven a steam roll, And I had the very
- 29:44Speaker 2: very I got about forty five seconds of steamroller driving.
- 29:47Speaker 2: He experienced them. But it's paying the hole, like it's
- 29:50Speaker 2: literal actual paying the hole. Like it's like uncomfortable. It's
- 29:53Speaker 2: just like wrong or wrong or wrong. He can't go
- 29:55Speaker 2: anywhere on it like it's it's no crack. Really, you're
- 29:58Speaker 2: six years of age and I put you on a
- 29:59Speaker 2: steam rolle or that's a different story. You're going to
- 30:01Speaker 2: have the best time in your life, but you're going
- 30:02Speaker 2: to want to drive across something. And I feel that
- 30:05Speaker 2: the digger land is missing the trick there, but more
- 30:08Speaker 2: than what bigger land are missing there very shortly time.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I believe you've got the Kudu gra there. You've got
- 30:12Speaker 2: the father ted of all father tads.
- 30:14Speaker 3: And I would be amazed if you haven't. Now, aside
- 30:17Speaker 3: from all some of the water ones are a bit
- 30:18Speaker 3: dodge and stuff like that. Some of them I'm not
- 30:21Speaker 3: really sure what it is that they are. I'm like, okay,
- 30:24Speaker 3: I see.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Him here Tom, you're digging.
- 30:26Speaker 3: But it's.
- 30:32Speaker 2: This one is the best yet.
- 30:34Speaker 3: This was just left on the job and they went
- 30:37Speaker 3: should leave that here, don't let's go Why are you
- 30:39Speaker 3: thinking that right now? No?
- 30:40Speaker 2: No, leave that here. Leave that.
- 30:41Speaker 3: There's nobody going to pay to want to go up
- 30:43Speaker 3: in this thing. Leave it here to fuck trust me,
- 30:46Speaker 3: it'll do.
- 30:47Speaker 2: And there's money in that. Never pay wages out of that.
- 30:50Speaker 3: It'll fill a gap. I'm telling you now it is.
- 30:53Speaker 2: The elevation station.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Jerry fucking scissors litter. It's powered by a forty eight
- 31:01Speaker 3: horse power diesel engine. Fuck, whoop ty do, whoopie do.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It's not you know. Sometimes you go to like you know,
- 31:10Speaker 2: the wild Legal Ride, experience two G forces as you
- 31:14Speaker 2: PLUMBT two hundred fit And this is like an actual
- 31:16Speaker 2: cherry picker. If you have ever been driving from Ashbourne
- 31:19Speaker 2: to Slaine and you go past the cherry pickers on
- 31:21Speaker 2: the left hand side, and you ever wondered what would
- 31:24Speaker 2: it be like to go up in one of them? Well,
- 31:28Speaker 2: have we got the ride for you?
- 31:32Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, I would still I'd go up
- 31:35Speaker 3: on it to read more so to relive owe memories,
- 31:37Speaker 3: Like I don't know what most of these things would
- 31:39Speaker 3: be like to go in for pure crack, because most
- 31:42Speaker 3: of these things I've had a bollocks shouting at me
- 31:45Speaker 3: to get a job done. While yeah you.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Were going up a scissor lift lift to do a thing. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 2: these guys are just going up a scissor lift just
- 31:52Speaker 2: to be sixty feet in the air.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So I for that reason alone,
- 31:56Speaker 3: that could be a new vibe rather than having to
- 31:59Speaker 3: go up then and started to fucking root, I've gotters
- 32:01Speaker 3: or some bastard thing. You're actually just going up for
- 32:05Speaker 3: the crack. But the elevations like that is elevation station.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Like genuinely the ride from Father Ted where they just
- 32:12Speaker 3: kind of lift you up a bit in the crane
- 32:13Speaker 3: would one hundred percent beyond this.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Oh, it's the it's the it's the ladder. It's like
- 32:17Speaker 2: as youreladder, keep your hands on the side.
- 32:19Speaker 3: It's literally that the spider Baby is just missing. That's
- 32:22Speaker 3: all it's missing off of this, like that's all it's missing.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Well, a couple of other things now that Biggerland USA
- 32:29Speaker 2: might be missing, and we've we've got we we we
- 32:33Speaker 2: there's a dozen more little diggers that you We're not
- 32:34Speaker 2: going to go through every all of the forty eight
- 32:36Speaker 2: attractions that you can go on. This one would needless
- 32:39Speaker 2: to say, we'll be flooding your social media's with this,
- 32:41Speaker 2: but we've found there might be a couple of construction
- 32:43Speaker 2: themed gaps. Tom, would you agree that there's a couple
- 32:46Speaker 2: of new rides coming for twenty twenty six if they
- 32:50Speaker 2: follow the suggestions of the Tom and Jerry.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Show Honestly, I had to keep bite my lip a
- 32:55Speaker 3: few times. It's about twenty them after saying there where
- 32:57Speaker 3: you're like.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Lass you have the space, there's leaving them money on
- 33:01Speaker 2: the table.
- 33:01Speaker 3: There's like if you have the elevation station, then you
- 33:05Speaker 3: employ the two of us, we'll deck the place out.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Just give us the check book, we'll take the place
- 33:09Speaker 3: out in you like, there's only they have about nine
- 33:12Speaker 3: different variations of the teleporter. I'll tell you that now
- 33:15Speaker 3: for now.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yeah, if you if you yeah, they've got Hey, would
- 33:18Speaker 2: you like to be on a teleporter that's stationary or
- 33:19Speaker 2: would you like to be on a teleporter that drives?
- 33:21Speaker 2: Like that's the same thing, not knocking your diggerland, but
- 33:23Speaker 2: that's the same thing. But there's a couple of places
- 33:26Speaker 2: they've missed, they've zigged where they could have said, I'm
- 33:29Speaker 2: going to give you one here, Tom, I'm going to
- 33:30Speaker 2: give you one piece of plant that they have not exploited.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Go on the cement mixer.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Jesus said, literally the first one I wrote down, and
- 33:39Speaker 3: you got it as well, buddy.
- 33:41Speaker 2: We need a cement mixer themed ride where you enter
- 33:45Speaker 2: the actual barrel of a cement mixer and you just
- 33:49Speaker 2: get he bolted into a seat and churned around and
- 33:52Speaker 2: around perfect like there's five rotations will do because you
- 33:57Speaker 2: will be sick as a dog. Commut that.
- 34:00Speaker 3: There's a bit of interpretation as well, because if you
- 34:02Speaker 3: have ever sat into a cement mixer, which I have,
- 34:04Speaker 3: like a fucking idiot.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Why did I ask that question?
- 34:09Speaker 3: Of course, Jerry, I don't know how I'm alive. I
- 34:14Speaker 3: don't I have no idea how I'm alive. There's so
- 34:17Speaker 3: many stupid fucking things now. The only thing is you
- 34:22Speaker 3: be learning fair quick when you like thankfully it didn't
- 34:25Speaker 3: go like it doesn't look like it's going fast. But
- 34:28Speaker 3: those rotations, when your little arts is poked down into
- 34:31Speaker 3: the mixer and you can't get out, and all you
- 34:33Speaker 3: can do is hold on for your life and the
- 34:34Speaker 3: hope that the lads will turn it off, Yeah that's uh.
- 34:38Speaker 3: When and when you do come flying out of oh
- 34:40Speaker 3: my sweet Jesus Christ, you just split yourself on the ground.
- 34:43Speaker 3: But yeah, the cement, I still think there's a there's
- 34:45Speaker 3: a safe way a big The bigger the cement mixer,
- 34:48Speaker 3: the better. Actually, much like the Wall of death, you know. Yeah,
- 34:54Speaker 3: I think if you've got a huge one like that
- 34:56Speaker 3: the actual concrete the cement truck will say, but had
- 34:59Speaker 3: it open ended and you could put kids into it,
- 35:01Speaker 3: strap them to the wall of.
- 35:02Speaker 2: It and put them around.
- 35:04Speaker 3: I think that would be the thing to do. Put
- 35:06Speaker 3: a couple of kneel like.
- 35:08Speaker 2: It'd be as good as the fucking elevation station. What
- 35:10Speaker 2: have you got over there? Sorry, I think I stolen
- 35:11Speaker 2: on you.
- 35:12Speaker 3: You did, so I jumped in with another one quickly,
- 35:14Speaker 3: And I think this is more for the experience of
- 35:17Speaker 3: much like you suggested the roller crushing things like that,
- 35:20Speaker 3: like driving over you know, you know, Nana's purse or whatever.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Just to be a bastard, I would love to see
- 35:25Speaker 3: a rock crusher on site. Talk to me, like a
- 35:29Speaker 3: proper cone crusher now that can maybe send it like
- 35:32Speaker 3: it can do it can do four or three different
- 35:35Speaker 3: grades of stone, and you get to tip it in
- 35:38Speaker 3: with one of the machines. So even just like a
- 35:41Speaker 3: front loader. There's no front loaders here, by the way,
- 35:43Speaker 3: there's none. You get a front loader and you get
- 35:46Speaker 3: to tip in rock, you get to crush it as
- 35:49Speaker 3: it passes through and maybe I don't know, you get
- 35:51Speaker 3: to for the crack. You get to throw in something
- 35:55Speaker 3: along the lines of you know, your sister's TAMAGATCHI know
- 35:58Speaker 3: what I'm.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Going to tell you, Tom, And maybe you've fallen across
- 36:00Speaker 2: this with your young lad as well. There's a whole
- 36:02Speaker 2: corner of YouTube that just kids will sit and watch
- 36:05Speaker 2: all day where it's like things being thrown into industrial
- 36:08Speaker 2: grinders Jerry, you know the one.
- 36:11Speaker 3: I watch Industrial press all the time, and industrial presses
- 36:14Speaker 3: and all that kind of thing.
- 36:15Speaker 2: So if you can imagine if they have a rock
- 36:16Speaker 2: crusher and the only thing you do is queue up
- 36:19Speaker 2: to drop a block down into it.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
- 36:22Speaker 2: How many times would you que up for that? Oh
- 36:24Speaker 2: Jesus Christ?
- 36:25Speaker 3: A full bail anyway, a full bail, just what.
- 36:28Speaker 2: A casual And then after that you can start dropping
- 36:30Speaker 2: down like you know, Atlantic crabs and all this kind
- 36:32Speaker 2: of shit like you know, you know what vases and
- 36:34Speaker 2: things like this. I think that's a great addition, Tom.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I have another one for you as well. Now, there
- 36:38Speaker 2: is a playground at Diggerland, USA, but it's not terribly
- 36:41Speaker 2: unlike the playground that's up the road from us here.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Swing slides, all that kind of crack you know, nothing,
- 36:47Speaker 2: nothing you would not see at a playground. I guess it's
- 36:49Speaker 2: for the smalls, but what they're missing out on is
- 36:54Speaker 2: the playground of the building site. I present to you,
- 36:57Speaker 2: Tom the scaffold scramble, a literal scaffold against the building
- 37:02Speaker 2: that you can just climb up and down like a
- 37:05Speaker 2: climbing frame and then go down the rubbish shoot all
- 37:09Speaker 2: the way down like in home alone. That's amazing.
- 37:12Speaker 3: That's I mean, they've they've gone. It's like it's staring
- 37:16Speaker 3: them right in the face.
- 37:17Speaker 2: It's right there. It's money on the table.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Baby, it's staring them right in the face. You put
- 37:21Speaker 3: it up one time. That's it. That's the boarded a
- 37:24Speaker 3: black wall at gable end of something.
- 37:26Speaker 2: And then just go up and down the scaffolding and
- 37:29Speaker 2: up and down the ladders and all this kind of crack.
- 37:31Speaker 2: That's amazing.
- 37:32Speaker 3: I'm telling you that is yeah.
- 37:35Speaker 2: I wow.
- 37:35Speaker 3: How like I mean that this is keeping on. We're
- 37:38Speaker 3: not acting the bottocks here, fucking serious here. This is
- 37:42Speaker 3: these are like if you have the elevation station, like listen.
- 37:45Speaker 2: To us, do you know what I mean?
- 37:46Speaker 3: You're reaching with ATHLETs, you know, and and a couple
- 37:50Speaker 3: of the other things. The scaffold like they have a
- 37:52Speaker 3: rock wall, Like, you don't.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Need a rock wall if you want to climb, climb
- 37:57Speaker 2: on scaffld and stick stick to your gimmick here.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Exactly, stay on, stay Jesus Christ. Now I'm going to
- 38:04Speaker 3: give an honorable mention, but it's not one that I think.
- 38:07Speaker 3: A whacker plate is definitely missing here, like just a
- 38:09Speaker 3: whacker you know from mums and dads, From moms and dads. Right,
- 38:14Speaker 3: but again you can put down small toys and crack over.
- 38:16Speaker 3: If you wonder what a whacker is, it's that thing
- 38:17Speaker 3: that looks like it's shaped like a lawn more shall
- 38:20Speaker 3: we say, But it's just got a flat plate on
- 38:21Speaker 3: the bottom of it, sort of compactant gravel.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Will say, we've all seen the video for Satisfaction. We
- 38:26Speaker 2: know what a whacker plate is.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Oh you do you do? And if anybody wants, I
- 38:29Speaker 3: put up some fairly risky content myself while whacker plating
- 38:33Speaker 3: all the footpaths around this house. And in fairness a
- 38:36Speaker 3: lot of lads were like, any chance of go to
- 38:40Speaker 3: and that tells you everything you need to know. Dads
- 38:43Speaker 3: and kids would love to have a go This thing.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Just just none mention to kick back and watch mums driver,
- 38:48Speaker 2: What can I tell you?
- 38:49Speaker 3: I think if we're going to stay on the full
- 38:51Speaker 3: full construction site, the full size team, or here's one
- 38:54Speaker 3: and this might be a left field, but I get
- 38:58Speaker 3: great satisfaction anytime I have to do something like this,
- 39:02Speaker 3: even though it might be a bit of an ikey one.
- 39:04Speaker 3: But I think we could set it up so that
- 39:06Speaker 3: it's reusable and clean. I'm saying, uh, diner Rod Town,
- 39:11Speaker 3: talk to me, so sore pipes blocked with green, funky gunk, clear,
- 39:17Speaker 3: nickelodeon goop. Yeah, put a clear six inch pipes six
- 39:20Speaker 3: inch because stuff with moves six inch pipes all over
- 39:24Speaker 3: the place, all in the big spaghetti junction of pipes.
- 39:27Speaker 3: And you have to say, and I'm not saying, just
- 39:29Speaker 3: rot at bear, you know, rotten it with just your
- 39:32Speaker 3: bear muscle. And you could send down you know, like
- 39:34Speaker 3: diner Rod have the rods that actually spin with water
- 39:36Speaker 3: heads on them, Yes, and you can actually un and
- 39:38Speaker 3: see it getting unclogged like the then your nasal passageways
- 39:42Speaker 3: of green snot snot land, do you know what I mean?
- 39:45Speaker 3: And you get to send these pipes down and will
- 39:48Speaker 3: it go the right way? Won't it go the right way,
- 39:50Speaker 3: but you have to control it from the controller at
- 39:52Speaker 3: the back in the in the with a camera on
- 39:55Speaker 3: the front of it.
- 39:56Speaker 2: We do go to a place up in Belfast called
- 39:58Speaker 2: W five and it's it's it's an area very like
- 40:01Speaker 2: this where you have to it's like vacuum tubes and
- 40:04Speaker 2: you can put in like a hanking'll you put in
- 40:06Speaker 2: the green hanking and you follow it round tubes and
- 40:09Speaker 2: all this kind of thing and where we'll come out
- 40:10Speaker 2: of all this kind of crack And it's like that
- 40:12Speaker 2: only with green sewerage.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Yeah, green sorage And basically you have to unclog and
- 40:19Speaker 3: then you get to send in a fake invoice at
- 40:21Speaker 3: the end.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Well, I've got one last one for you, Tom go on.
- 40:29Speaker 2: It's one last week for diggiel And USA, and it's
- 40:31Speaker 2: the one place where they have not merged the worlds
- 40:36Speaker 2: of construction and theme parks, and that is in their
- 40:42Speaker 2: offerings for food and drink. They have traditional kiosks that
- 40:48Speaker 2: sell hot dogs, chips, scream candy, floss. You know exactly
- 40:53Speaker 2: what you would expect, right. I feel if you're in
- 40:55Speaker 2: a construction theme park, what you want is an actual
- 41:00Speaker 2: construction canteen. I'm talking about a shipping container. Yes, well,
- 41:08Speaker 2: esb outlet to it and the dirtiest sink you've ever
- 41:11Speaker 2: seen in life, right, that got me.
- 41:18Speaker 3: That got me.
- 41:18Speaker 2: That's perfect. And the container itself is on like a
- 41:24Speaker 2: seven degree slant, so you're never comfortable in it.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Yeah, because there was enough blocks on the day.
- 41:29Speaker 2: You're like, someone not lift this and put a fucking
- 41:32Speaker 2: block on wrap or a construction site, and we can't
- 41:35Speaker 2: build a container that sits flat on the fucking ground.
- 41:38Speaker 3: And can I can I add one one?
- 41:40Speaker 2: Sorry?
- 41:40Speaker 5: Go on?
- 41:41Speaker 3: You continue?
- 41:42Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. And you're not getting hot dogs, and
- 41:44Speaker 2: you're not getting candy flowers, and the kids aren't getting
- 41:46Speaker 2: nuggets in a little thing. You're getting sandwiches wrapped in
- 41:49Speaker 2: ten file you're getting there's a borco boiler there that
- 41:53Speaker 2: looks like it's been kicked down a hill. You've got
- 41:56Speaker 2: delf mugs with that depth of dirt on the inside
- 41:59Speaker 2: of them, and you sit down in this and have
- 42:01Speaker 2: your sandwiches while a man sits beside you, smoking fags,
- 42:05Speaker 2: telling racist jokes.
- 42:07Speaker 3: Okay, so you kind of leaned into what I want
- 42:10Speaker 3: to do, you know, you know in Vegas, like you
- 42:11Speaker 3: can go and I think it's one and there's not
- 42:14Speaker 3: one to do. Maybe there is one double, but there's
- 42:16Speaker 3: definitely one in London now as well where you goin
- 42:18Speaker 3: the door and they abuse the head off you.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they give you a dog's abuse.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Yeah. Abuse, and it's all throwing the gear at gen
- 42:24Speaker 3: collinga prick and stuff like that. I think the same
- 42:26Speaker 3: could be used for like you know these like there's
- 42:28Speaker 3: a mamamea restaurant in London where you go and all
- 42:31Speaker 3: of a sudden, all the you know, and there's the
- 42:33Speaker 3: whole dining experience with faulty towers. Do a thing going
- 42:36Speaker 3: around Ireland where are the UK where you're sitting down
- 42:39Speaker 3: to an actual meal, but then it turns into a
- 42:42Speaker 3: faulty tower show where there's a rat on the table.
- 42:44Speaker 3: And yes, I think the same thing could be employed
- 42:46Speaker 3: here with actors who are outlads off the site, do
- 42:51Speaker 3: you know, like and I'll hear it, tit hanging out
- 42:53Speaker 3: of a short because your man has enough buttons on
- 42:56Speaker 3: his sort arses stuck getting stuck in their face as
- 42:58Speaker 3: they swipe down along the back of the back of
- 43:00Speaker 3: your chair. There's our lads, like you said, rolling fags.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Besides just you know, yeah, yeah, slagging off the wife.
- 43:07Speaker 2: There's two lads across the way speaking Polish and everything
- 43:10Speaker 2: and the look up but you and laugh and then
- 43:11Speaker 2: they'll come back to talking.
- 43:14Speaker 3: But kids, this is where it's really for the kids, right.
- 43:17Speaker 3: I'm not, you know, not saying the golden the back
- 43:19Speaker 3: of the golden Virginia that comes with every not. But
- 43:25Speaker 3: I think what we do is we allowed the kids
- 43:27Speaker 3: this is their save zone to course as much as
- 43:30Speaker 3: they like. Oh yeah, they never get at home, you
- 43:33Speaker 3: know what I mean? They can say they can curse everything,
- 43:36Speaker 3: the weather, the job, everything.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Fool, the whole lot, the whole life cool again.
- 43:42Speaker 3: I think that's that's I think all around it. That
- 43:45Speaker 3: would I think that would send it to another level.
- 43:48Speaker 2: Like I think that. I think if you're going to
- 43:49Speaker 2: be bigger land, be bigger land, ladies and gentlemen.
- 43:52Speaker 3: I have one final one before we say the day
- 43:55Speaker 3: to the lovely people. It's America.
- 43:58Speaker 6: Chair.
- 43:59Speaker 3: There's no holds bad in America. I think that we
- 44:01Speaker 3: can go to any level. They've got huge amounts of space.
- 44:05Speaker 3: I was in construction for twelve maybe, I guess all
- 44:08Speaker 3: and all told, maybe fifteen years, right, Yes, now I
- 44:11Speaker 3: did a lot of fun things, a lot of dangerous things.
- 44:14Speaker 3: But the greatest fun and the biggest thrill that I
- 44:17Speaker 3: ever ever got was getting to blow dynamite. Oh, I
- 44:25Speaker 3: got to press the buzzer on every Thursday that we're
- 44:28Speaker 3: we right during the tail end of the boom. We
- 44:32Speaker 3: were blessed in Limestone on a weekly basis to bait
- 44:35Speaker 3: the fucking bend. So we literally so you core down,
- 44:39Speaker 3: you core down maybe a two inch maybe through to
- 44:42Speaker 3: three inch hole down with like a mobile. You know,
- 44:46Speaker 3: Pilo will say for all the words, it's like a digger,
- 44:48Speaker 3: but it's got a big rod on the end of
- 44:50Speaker 3: it that it's got just drilling down into the ground.
- 44:52Speaker 3: It comes back up and you drop down. If you imagine,
- 44:55Speaker 3: do you know the sausage meat you can get in
- 44:57Speaker 3: Elder or Dune's for when it comes to Christmas black
- 45:00Speaker 3: pudding size one, You drop one of them down with
- 45:02Speaker 3: an electrical charge wire plugged into it. You back all
- 45:06Speaker 3: the way back the fuck up, and then you get
- 45:08Speaker 3: to press the hooter first. And then you know from
- 45:11Speaker 3: ten seconds from the hooter, because I mean that build
- 45:14Speaker 3: some anticipation. The whole place is just so excited. Your
- 45:17Speaker 3: chest is gonna feel this, And then I get to
- 45:19Speaker 3: press the buttoner and everything rock moves. You feel like
- 45:25Speaker 3: a god. You literally get to move mountains in a
- 45:29Speaker 3: moment that have been sitting there for a millennia, millions
- 45:33Speaker 3: of years. You get to blessed rock. How good? And
- 45:37Speaker 3: I mean that would feed the rock crusher.
- 45:38Speaker 6: Then on top of it, oh, one hand washes the
- 45:40Speaker 6: other on here Tom, And even if even if you
- 45:42Speaker 6: even if you have to fake it a little bit,
- 45:44Speaker 6: if you have the key, yeah, you know, you press
- 45:47Speaker 6: it down and it blows like a big cloud of
- 45:49Speaker 6: dust or something up on that.
- 45:50Speaker 2: But like some child will be like, I blew that
- 45:52Speaker 2: shit up, baby, Yeah, yeah, I blew that.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Think about it. I mean people hire these tank things
- 45:58Speaker 3: in the UK to drive over all Courteenas and stuff
- 46:01Speaker 3: like that. Think about getting to bless some rock with dynamite.
- 46:05Speaker 2: I think we're I think we're I think we're giving
- 46:07Speaker 2: away too many of our good ideas here trying who
- 46:10Speaker 2: might save that for Tom and Jerry Land. That's that's
- 46:13Speaker 2: an incredible idea. A day at the quarry, a day
