First and foremost probably you know to get it right. We're saying hell to
3:04
you. Just literally only just hit record and just jumped on. How are
3:07
you keeping? Are you all right? I am very good, Tom.
3:09
I gotta be honest with you. I gotta be honest. Which I've been
3:13
very much looking forward to to podcasting, which good stuff, to the point
3:16
that it's been all consuming of everything. I haven't done a lick of di
3:21
Why the garden's gone to seed. Side of the house looks like a nightmare
3:25
lord over. The backyard needs power water And I'll tell you that much.
3:29
But everyone's just been like, let's get this podcast ready with Tom. What
3:31
about yourself? Have you been busy or idol? I do you know what
3:35
I have been busy. We're in purchasing building house and whatnot. And I'll
3:39
keep you updated as to how my hair is falling out of the direct result
3:43
of that in the coming months. Anybody wants to go back and listen to
3:46
where I sounded like a complete expert in Tom and Jerry build a House.
3:52
Yeah, I know for a fact what's coming. Many many wrinkles and many
3:55
many hair losses. But do you know what I'm okay here, I'm back
3:59
on the wagon. I'm not overly religious or you know, but I do
4:03
like to take the only reasoning around lent is I tried to clean up my
4:09
diet because Lord knows, you know, chips at all hours of the night
4:13
driving away from places needed to go. And I was on the wagon,
4:15
jer I was so good for forty days. And okay, I broke once
4:18
or twice. I was off the sugar, the chocolate, the sweets,
4:23
all of it. I was off it. I was looking. Somebody mentioned
4:25
to me the other day that I looked good, which doesn't often happen anymore.
4:29
You don't. You don't get it. You don't get it. You
4:30
look good in the wild too often these days. Now. Yeah, I
4:32
got one Easter kind of the other the other thoughts about the fall here easter.
4:40
Oh god, it happened hard. It happened very very hard. I
4:43
am, Oh my god, I fell off, brutal, brute. I
4:47
drink cans of coke and everything with my Coca bops. It was done,
4:50
absolutely scheduless. I was well. Luckily, Luckily, tom I haven't fallen
4:57
off the wagon because I haven't gotten on it yet. I've just been relent
5:00
sleep handing back selection boxes since Christmas. It ended with too much termocool.
5:03
Last night it ended I found as my wife walked in and found me in
5:09
the sitting room by myself with a family sized amount. My mother I called
5:13
over and gotten enough for four people, four grown adults, a term suit
5:16
that she made. I sat there like a snaffling dog who hadn't seen the
5:21
outdoors or food in a week. And my wife walked into the living room
5:26
to find me eating the entire thing, and even she had to have an
5:29
intervention, shoes like, Tom, this can't go on, This can't go
5:31
on, this can't go on. There like but it's easter somewhere. So
5:39
today I'm saying today I'm back on the wagon. As of today, I
5:42
literally have just not eaten any sweets as of today today, literally as I'm
5:46
talking to you now, So pray for me. Pray I have a jawful
5:49
of Harry bowl like chewing tobacco right now. I'm just letting you know.
5:55
It's it's like, it's it's it's it's it's I have Harry bowl like dip
5:59
just inside me here. So he actually has a spinner, people, Jerry
6:01
actually has if you hear this, spatoon or that's Jerry and some Jerry spitting
6:08
out a half shot fried egg. Yeah that's what that is. Well,
6:13
listen to me, Tom, All right enough talking about this brand new,
6:16
all new, all singing, all dancing Tom and Jerry show that we're talking
6:19
about. How about we get into a buddy, Let's do it. Let's
6:21
do it, folks. We're going to start each show every week with a
6:25
we look at the week's big noise, the brew haha, the talk of
6:29
the town. What we call the weekly? What have you? What do
6:31
you need us for? Because some damn fool accused you of being the best
6:35
the weekly? What have you this week? I mean there's been you know
6:40
yourself. With the down of the internet and on the rest, we can
6:42
go back and find whatever you want from the day, find your own birthday.
6:45
You can find people love the old Florida man thing from a date.
6:47
But the week that's got it, that's going and going and is. We're
6:50
in the middle of it. This is it Tom right now as we speak.
6:55
As we speak, there's a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse eclips Yeah,
7:00
I mean, turn around, don't. We'll get copyrights struck before his
7:11
litigious buddy, is it by Langford of Bonny Tyler. Honny Tyler, who's
7:15
body Langford? She working a pub up the road. No, Bonny Langford
7:17
is famous in her own rights. If anybody knows who Bonny Langford is,
7:20
that's no in the comments regardless of that. Now, Yes, the big
7:23
noise this week, Tom is a solar eclipse, which, as we recorded
7:27
a roundabout quarter to eight Irish time, is above our heads right now,
7:31
not that you'd know it because it's hits and rain. It's like I was
7:35
getting excited because I looked it up and I was like, oh Jesus passin.
7:39
And I walked out an immediate sadness came over. It was like it
7:43
could be a full eclipse right now with just just the dourness and soup that's
7:47
in the sky. You wouldn't know one way or another. You really wouldn't.
7:51
Like we were there, We kind of hype the kids up a little
7:55
bit about it, and I was like, yeah, you know, I'm
7:58
gonna be recording with Tom the time, like you know, maybe I'll ask
8:01
them the bump into the next day and we'll all go out as the family
8:03
and look at this eclipse and you look at it and the rain is bouncing
8:07
five foot off the ground. That gets raining so hard you're getting wet up
8:11
your trousers. Right, So, no, we won't be going out to
8:15
take a look at the eclipse. And I'll tell you not for nothing.
8:16
Tom. They say that a solar eclipse is a rare and beautiful occasion.
8:24
You're lucky if you catch one in your lifetime. But I'm going to tell
8:28
you now, Tom, o'manny and the listeners of the Tomagery Show. I'm
8:31
forty four years of age, and I am sick looking at the damn things.
8:35
This show up the whole time or not a year goes by without an
8:41
eclips. Look, I mean what am I not? What? Some am
8:45
I not doing? Right here? Tom? For the one if people are
8:48
wondering what full eclipse, close your eyes right now. Not if you're driving,
8:52
but pull in close your eyes. That's it. That's it. Yeah,
8:58
well, yeah, yeah, you got that's that's exactly. That's all
9:01
it is. Just to beat me too, Tom, But yes to pulling
9:03
off the road if you're doing that. Uh So what we have here now,
9:07
Tom, if I'm correct, is the moon passing in front of the
9:09
Sun. And it's the classic auh I was gonna say Indiana Jones eclipse,
9:16
but no, he didn't have an eclipse, but if he did, you
9:18
would imagine what it would look like. Dark Sky's prescendo. It's the Apocalypto
9:22
with clips, don't you know? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
9:24
so we are only only it doesn't look like that at all, Tom.
9:28
It just kind of got slightly darker. The gray went to slightly grayer,
9:35
like I was expecting some more door stuff. Every time. Yeah, it's
9:39
listen, it's a Mandela effect. Every year we get excited about these things
9:41
like we've never come across it before. We got never never seen before,
9:45
never seen it before. But true too. When you sit down here and
9:46
think about it, you're like, ah, they rock. These jokes out
9:48
every company every year or so, you know. And if there's so much
9:52
as a fingernail goes off the side of the sun, it's like what I
9:56
think you'll find Think you'll find that amazing? Like not for nothing, Tom,
10:03
I'm gonna tell you this right now, okay, and I'm going to
10:05
cross off a couple of things. I'll tell you how recent there was notable
10:09
eclipse okay, and I'm not talking as you say yourself, there we have
10:11
a rook on the side of it or whatnot, but like a notable sky
10:16
goes dark eclipse. Donald Trump was president, so that's four years ago.
10:20
You remember, like, yeah, yeah, you remember this said, like,
10:24
you know, don't stare at the sun and the picture just staring at
10:26
the sun. Now, I'm not going to throw stones at them because any
10:28
clips I ever looked at I stared directly out of Tom fair. To be
10:33
fair, you would be answering a lot of questions there too. Here's the
10:37
thing, like many things to Irish people, it don't matter because there's one
10:43
exciting thing. If the sun actually does show up. The last thing I
10:46
want any bit of a doing is being covered. You're not going to get
10:50
into any way excited, no, leave be. It's finally getting to the
10:54
front of the concert and then some big lump of a lad stands in front
10:58
of you like oh yeah, yeah, ye, and you're supposed to get
11:00
excited by him. But it's the eclipse of eclipse of total eclipse of the
11:07
cinema. I'll tell you one thing, Tom, I do remember, like
11:11
the most notable eclipse. Okay, I'll tell you. I'm going to give
11:13
you a total, total history of Jerry McBride and eclipses all right, To
11:18
be honest with all I can think about is the little chuckum in bars,
11:20
oh yeah, or the ellipses. What do you call No, an ellipses
11:24
is a rugby ball shape. But they were eclipses, weren't they. There
11:28
were answers on a postcard? Please please? Are you thinking? Are you
11:31
thinking? I think? I think I know what you're talking? Hears inside
11:35
them and they had they were they had. They were the most un They
11:39
were the most unexciting looking chocolate bar. They were on the green and white
11:41
paper, kind of you tear them open. They were just ridges running down
11:46
that they hadn't put any effort to use the stock mold. They were like,
11:50
they gave him a go one week and went, let's see how this
11:52
rose. We're not putting anybody behind this and it and behold they stayed like
11:56
they stayed for years. You know what that was like? They turned up
12:00
the they turned up the oven too high on the after it machine one day
12:03
and burnt years worth of stock. And how do we get rid of this?
12:05
Yeah? Yeah, that's it. There you go. I'm gonna give
12:09
you, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you my total history of eclipses. I
12:11
remember a story in a in a book that we had in primary school in
12:18
our reader in the reader, you know what I mean. You remember the
12:20
reader and it would all have excerpts of novels and all this kind of crack.
12:24
I'll take your word for it, right, And one of the one
12:28
of the stories was about a total eclipse of the sun. And it was
12:31
this dude. Because I remember when I watched Apocalypto as we did mention,
12:35
I was like, I read that, I read that, and I read
12:37
that in a in a in a reader when I was wee. But it
12:39
was this dude who was like captured in you know, South America or Africa
12:45
during the someplace, right, and he was captured and we're going to kill
12:52
him. And then he was like, I'm going to take the son away
12:54
because he knew that those an eclipse dude that day and the eclipse came along
12:56
and they were all like, oh Jesus, let them go, and then
13:00
he ran off. Now you know, good job that didn't capture them the
13:03
day beforehand. All right, that would great Martin McFly, you know what
13:07
I mean. If he lended that there yeah, and I and the teacher.
13:11
We'd said to the teacher like, you know, oh my god,
13:13
what would you ever see in the clips? Like very rare if you're lucky
13:16
in your life. You know what age is now? Seven? No,
13:20
no, he will be long dead before there are in the clips around here
13:24
again and then lo and behold No, not a fact, like you know,
13:26
I'm sick looking at the things. But the one eclipse that I do
13:28
remember looking and I would have been around about twenty two to twenty three,
13:33
so this is early two thousands. This is post nine to eleven. I
13:35
remember that, but like you know, not necessarily married. So that puts
13:39
me in me in the mid twenties, so to speak. And we were
13:41
working up in the hardware up in carac and this was a notable eclipse in
13:48
the middle of the day that you were of course, like everybody'll tell you,
13:50
oh, you have to be insault Hill the memory of this, like
13:54
two thousand and three or so. Yeah, right, you have to be
13:56
insult Hill to get the very better. You have to be up Crok Patrick
14:00
to get the absolute like a course, with everything you know, there's a
14:03
perfect place to sit to do all these things. You go to a concert
14:07
and there's a perfect place to stand to get the music hit. You're right,
14:09
but you'll do all right everywhere else. I remember that because we all
14:13
went and we all we all took like welding goggles and welding helmets out to
14:18
look at it. Are we here holding a weldon glass looking at it?
14:20
And then like you know, you couldn't see anything through, you can't see
14:22
it through. But we're all like that, the hell with this, and
14:26
we took them off, and we're here with with like weld and goggles on
14:28
our forwards. Here like staring up at the sun. It just adds two
14:33
inch and a half like prevoc piping, just to get your eyes properly full.
14:37
Oh yeah, just to get probably burnt out of your head. Yeah
14:39
yeah, but I really feel time like after that. Okay, so that's
14:43
the sun brother, right, Okay, that's the one happening now. That's
14:48
the one happening right now. That's this week's big what have you? Right,
14:52
don't get me started on the moon. That's just if you're pre card
14:56
altogether, that's a pure card. How often now have you seen the headline
15:01
online or on a newspaper or remember those or be whatever, and it would
15:05
say like, oh, stargazers in Ireland, or will catch a rare glimpse
15:13
of once in a lifetime super moon or a blood moon or a freaking Jaffa
15:18
cake moon or Keith moon, you know the rarest occasions of it all.
15:22
I'm going to jump in. By the way, I need to say this
15:24
because this is in my head. Gozz buzz Aldron. This is just a
15:28
table quick question that you people can use. Buzz Aldron's mother's maiden name was
15:33
Moon. Just putting it out there there if that wasn't written in the stars,
15:37
Hey, I didn't know that. There you go, There you go.
15:41
Concept the moon anyway, the moon, step the moon. Yeah,
15:48
don't start me about the moon, right because I swear to God. Oh
15:52
yeah, it's a wonderful blood moon. It's no, it's slightly redder than
15:54
it would otherwise normally. Be I not having I'm not going to I'm not
16:00
going out of the house to look. You have to go see these things
16:03
up. I looked at it. I google it, and of course there's
16:04
a big flashing thing across in the same way like nearly a Christmas when it
16:10
chose for the Christmas turnaround. It showed this big wave across my phone of
16:14
where you see it across across America, and I thought, oh, lovely.
16:18
Before I talked to Jerry, I'm gonna google Ireland and it just came
16:21
up with like a news headline going, eh, you know yourself, basically
16:26
is what it said. There was an honesty in the stark difference between Google
16:30
and the two one pretty much is like, oh, my actual God,
16:33
you're gonna see an actual eclipse. Oh, solar eclipse. It's gonna be
16:37
a We're gonna write songs about this. They're gonna write shoot rockets, there's
16:41
gonna be and this dusting. And it gets to the Irish googlers like,
16:48
eh, do you know what would you want to be looking at the moon
16:52
for? It was bleak is different because we're not We're only getting a wing
17:00
is all we're getting. We're not getting a full shut eye. We're getting
17:02
a kind of a if you were squinting, you know, when you see
17:03
an albue squint and looking up trying to she's ahead of you in the chipper,
17:08
and she squinted up and you know full well she's always ordered a fish
17:11
supper. And that's what she's going to order squinted. That's her eye line,
17:15
is her eyesight is what we're in the Yeah, that's awesome. And
17:19
in the time we've talked about it, Tom, by the way, I'm
17:22
fairly certain that it's that it's past. Yeah. Yeah, literally, we're
17:26
we're recording literally while it's happened, and once in a lifetime occurrence is happening
17:30
out there, folks, and we're choosing instead to talk to you find people.
17:33
When the last time I apparently we've got a full one in Ireland was
17:36
seventeen twenty seven and breathe that like that was apparently the lad I mean,
17:41
come on, come on, yeah, maybe, yeah, No, give
17:44
me give me a shout when the sun is going to plow into Colorville,
17:48
all right, gim me give me a shout when the moon is going to
17:55
split in two and take a bite out of the earth of ours, all
17:57
right? And then I look, remember our teacher braw we'd all the same
18:03
thing that we'd all probably be dead, would never see it. But I
18:04
do think a lot more expecting us to end up, you know, as
18:08
factory workers or whatnot, and we wouldn't get see it any because we'd be
18:11
indoors working. You know, I'm guessing that's possibly what she was. That's
18:14
probably what I'm sick looking at comments to Tom by the way celestial bodies of
18:18
all type and go that can go jump apparently, though in Ireland if we
18:22
did get one, apparently weird. One of the few reads of people that
18:26
were excited by it. The Celts taught taught to the be's knees everybody else
18:30
Maybe this is telling in itself everybody else terrifying omen an awful thing to be
18:34
happening. The Irish would go close because I guess called Dougary can happen.
18:40
But theyd have a Festival of Light. I don't know if Monday ever played
18:44
it, but it was most like the apparently like the Chinese Terrible Brute,
18:48
But to be fair, the Chinese Yourself Festival a Light Time did to have
18:52
a comedy standard. Two books that yeah, exactly exactly you but yeah,
18:56
as far as it goes, I I hate to pour them both cole water.
19:02
That's but it's you know what, It's perfect for Cynical Island anyway.
19:06
Yeah, and a high end full solar eclipse we couldn't deal with. It'd
19:11
be like yeah, come on, come on, Like, if you did
19:17
miss today's solar clips such you know as it was because you know you were
19:22
in watching Telly, or there's a twenty four hour Apple green up the road
19:27
and how do you compete with that? Right? If you did indeed miss
19:30
it, don't worry, you're not going to miss anything because I'm fairly certain
19:34
your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and feeds are going to be full of people
19:38
that took pictures of it with the front camera of an iPhone and it's and
19:45
it's a dosh. Yeah, it's it's. It's it's it's like throwing a
19:51
dart at black crap paper. That's all you're seeing. And they're like,
19:55
oh, stunning, so magical, magical. We got married, we got
19:59
engaged under the yes. But you know, Tom, maybe we're cynical folks.
20:03
I don't know. I'm going to throw it up into the listeners of
20:06
the Tom and Jerry podcast. Let us know in the comments whether or not
20:08
they seeing this onederful eclipse or indeed any clips, or if they're like me
20:12
and indeed I feel you, Tom, they're done with celestial bodies of all
20:17
sorts. To be fair, there, we know our crowd. We know
20:21
our crowd. I think, well, next up, Tom, Next up,
20:26
folks on the Tom and Jerry Show, we are going to take a
20:29
look at someone who stood out this week. How does that sound? Tom?
20:32
Love it? Love it? You know the type? You know the
20:34
type, Tom, the type that when you're talking about them, you don't
20:37
just say and then there's this lad, You say, then there's this lad?
20:42
What is best in life? Crush your enemies, see them driven before
20:48
you. You have a lamentation of the women that is good. We all
20:53
know. And this will go for anything. This will go we we are
20:56
going to be broad in this. This could go for a tree, This
20:59
could go for an inanimate object. This could go for an animal like woman,
21:02
a man, whatever, any anybody or anything can be somebody that just
21:08
la this art where you read it and you don't go You actually walk over
21:15
to the person near to you and go this latter and show and they go,
21:18
Jesus, rush, what's he? Because I remember talking about who's this
21:25
week's this lad? Tom? Who have you got for this? Ross Cook?
21:29
Now I never heard of Ross Cook. Nobody had ever heard of Ross
21:30
Cook. I guess some people had heard the Ross Cook. Dad probably heard
21:34
of him. I'm guessing he could. I'm guessing he could. And no
21:37
relation, I'm sure to the now defunct travel agent, I'm sure. But
21:41
Russ took it upon himself for whatever reason. And I can't fathom it because
21:45
I can't. I try. I went looking a lord, Oh lord,
21:49
I can't. I can't fathom the reason behind this. He said it was
21:52
for charity and his family legacy. He wanted to do whoever proud around him
21:57
fair enough blood. But you you know, you know, Jerry raises money
22:03
for hedgehogs. I take my hat off to that if I had a hat.
22:07
But this man was raising money for whatever charity. I don't know.
22:11
But he decided he wanted to run from tail to top of Africa, of
22:17
Africa, of all places there, not just one of the countries, which
22:21
is how huge. He wanted to run from the bottom all the way to
22:26
the top, which went through sixteen countries. When I read it first,
22:30
I read ten k, right, you know, because you hear you sometimes
22:34
when you go run, and I've heard you talk about it ten k and
22:37
I'm like, oh, that's ten kilometers. This was ten thousand miles,
22:41
Jerry, this bloke, this bloke decided to run the length of the biggest
22:47
continent there is and go. He started off in South Africa, finished up
22:51
in Tunisia. Pegg did the whole way delight to himself. Rosses from England
22:56
and guessing is from what I can make out, but good sweet mother,
23:00
good sweet cheese it Tom, And yeah, I know like when he's running
23:03
the length of Africa, that's not like Africa County for Manna. But you
23:08
know a wee town that you just haven't heard of, you know, the
23:11
way like you have Dublin, Baltimore and all this it's spelled with a g
23:15
H at the end Africa. Yeah, all right, and he I believe
23:22
it's like a homelessness and mental health charities that he raised all this money for
23:26
now three quarters a million pound fair please, quarters of a million pounds sterling.
23:30
And that's still worth something to somebody like you know, uh el Sterlin
23:34
not doing too good these days, but still in all you'd never know,
23:38
you'd never sterling. That's that's that's abound to be worth it, like a
23:41
chips or two regardless of which, right, Ross Cook, who goes on
23:45
Twitter by the name Hardest Geezer, And I gotta tell you it's a fair
23:51
moniker to go with, like, well know, your whole thing is running,
23:55
talking, shouting that you're going, you're slipping, come at me.
24:00
Well yeah, you're like, yeah, listen, you're you're half lunatic more
24:03
than anything, and you never want to scrap a lunatic. But at the
24:06
same time, you know, hardest Gezer hard I didn't. I didn't.
24:11
I didn't get fully behind the man his journey though. Something There was just
24:15
some wee stone and my shoe that I just couldn't quite get behind him,
24:18
and probably like, it's not in my nature, calm, it's not my
24:21
rest in gear to cheer on an englishman, number one. But putting that
24:26
on Front street, right and again he's there as hard as Gezer and not
24:30
just kind of was like, all right, okay, fair enough. I
24:32
mean, nicest runner start with that, all right, but no hardest keys
24:36
are all right, But you know what I gotta tell you, three hundred
24:37
and sixty two days and sixteen thousand kilometers later, I gotta tell you,
24:42
as Geezer go, he probably is fairly hardy. But do you know what
24:47
I was reading. I was going, maybe he's just right. He gave
24:49
himself that name is self motivational because you just have to keep going. Abzard
24:52
nails. Absard's nails. You if you haven't washed, because that man you
24:59
weren't having full on. It doesn't matter how good you wash after a full
25:03
week's running in Africa, I don't care what you do. Your skin needs
25:08
time to settle. Yeah, he's not running around the park in like mild
25:12
weather, like he's running in baking heat. So he's he's stinking, I
25:18
mean, and a top. He is smelliest geezer, stinkiest geezer. That's
25:26
what he's new. Right, He's gone from being hardest gezer and now he's
25:30
stinky geezer and a stinky man tam. You know, when you see the
25:33
boy's running, you go, oh, that's all the gear that you'd expect.
25:37
He kind of looked like he was wearing. He was wearing like a
25:40
commentary away top. Yeah, but I'm going to give him hardest geezer right
25:48
on a few things I know I've come across some hard people, have read
25:51
some stories about hard people, like the honorably mentioned that guy I got it.
25:55
I gotta send you on. I think a guy called Sean Edwards who
25:57
played the Wimble Rugby League final. Jerry three broken toes on one foot two
26:03
on the other. He had three broken fingers throughout. His nose had caved
26:07
in on itself from the previous match and he got his eye sockets smashed in
26:11
the open of five minutes and played the entire match. And I remember just
26:14
going, that's a hard enough geezer around the sounds of things. But to
26:18
give out russ his due, right, he's gonna have chafin no doubt.
26:23
I was just I I was going to be a Russell. He's gonna be
26:27
rustling and rustling the whole length of Africa, right, you wouldn't be one
26:30
mile up the road. And I guarantee he went, this is an awful
26:33
decision. This mistakes have been made. The man was clearly running from something
26:40
or running to something. I don't know, because there's something drives him to
26:42
do that. But he has to be an absolute monster of hardness, given
26:48
how foxy he is. I meish you can't tell me that his option of
26:56
running up and down Ireland a few times wouldn't be better or his skin held,
27:00
do you know what I mean? Yeah, our natural total eclips that
27:04
you're not You're not talking about Foxy as in his ox Lean. You're like,
27:10
he looks like a fox. He's closer to looking like a Shannock.
27:15
Mister Todd from from Peter Ginger gentle he is had a big old foxy beard
27:19
on a big fox. And you're like, well, God bless you.
27:23
I'm amazed you didn't burn like a red paper, you know what I mean,
27:27
under a magnifying glass. Like how in the name of God was he
27:30
wearing gypsum? Like how did he get I have no idea, Tom.
27:34
I would have imagined, like you know what about day fifty, he'd be
27:37
like your man that jumps out the back of the train and volcano, you
27:41
know, just feet or the guy in the waiting room with beetlejuice that's smoking.
27:47
Yeah, you gotta melts, just melts into nothing. There's just a
27:52
tomb sticking up out of it, like eight hundred he yeah, and there
28:00
you go. There was no other this. A couple of every week has
28:06
this letter to Tom. Don't every way every week there's this lad but we
28:08
had to give it to Ross Cook here. Now I will also say this
28:12
Russ Airman is celebrating the fact that he is the first person to ever run
28:19
the length of Africa. He is celebrating that and being celebrated for that Tom
28:25
regardless of whether or not it may or may not be true, because he's
28:29
been contested in the Association of Runners, which is also known acronym as WAR.
28:36
So love it war. What is it good for? This apparently telling
28:41
you whether or not Ross Cook is the man that ran the first man to
28:45
run the length of Africa. By the time this podcast lands in a couple
28:48
of days. We record on the Monday most Mondays, and you guys will
28:51
get it. I don't know, some other day right, But by the
28:53
time this rolls out, maybe Russ will have been stripped of his medals and
28:57
his hardest kiser, maybe be the most shamed geezer. But what you got
29:03
a like about him is he's not letting the controversy stop him from claiming to
29:07
be the first to run the length of Africa. Do you know what you're
29:11
like? You said fifty days in, there's a breaking point in the man.
29:15
And honestly, if you if he got to the end of it and
29:18
he had decided in his head that he was now a rhinoceros. I don't
29:21
think anybody would change that man's mind, because there's must has to be something
29:25
running from South Africa to Tunisia uber your thumbs, anything would have gotten you
29:30
there faster. That man ran for nearly a year, nearly a damn year.
29:37
He ran from the top of the tail up there far as gumped the
29:40
length of Africa. Yeah, Forrest gumped it. He did. And I
29:42
swear if you ran it, or if I ran it, and we had
29:45
something drilled into our head by the time we got to it the end,
29:49
I'm mad, wouldn't get it out of me. No, no way.
29:53
Yeah, I mean they're they're sitting them down and going He's there, like
29:56
and his paper, he's got his team in his pals, wild wis shorters
30:00
and what not, and they're like, we're just wonderful stuff. You're around
30:03
the full length of Africa and the World Association of Running as you say,
30:07
there yourself, world aletic running, what's called them? World Association are Running?
30:10
I think, so, yeah, yeah, we're giving that another week
30:12
island the drafts and myself. But okay, maybe it's w r A,
30:15
Maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's w R a or running association.
30:19
Glad you know what it is you know about. But they've just kind of
30:26
they've just kind of said no, here's here. I'm not like we think
30:29
there might have been someone at some stage done this. They're like, no,
30:30
no, here's the here's the dude. Here's his name, and here's
30:33
another fellow, and here's his name is Danish. They have a Danish fellow
30:37
who they went no, no, no, no, he did that.
30:38
He did it the other way. He started in in Egypt and went down
30:42
the way through Kenya and so then all that. So let's ross is like,
30:47
well, look at you didn't go to the point as bit I went
30:49
to the point. I don't know whats regardless of that time. And you
30:53
know me, I kind of I kind of have a lot of I guess
30:59
us inspect and admiration for grifters and carnie folk, you know, like Russ
31:04
is just like, I'm going to make a name for myself. I'm going
31:07
to you know, and raise a lot of money for charity, not for
31:10
nothing. If this was for profit, I'd have a different take on it.
31:12
But you know, he's he's he's he's he's making the character for himself,
31:15
you know what I mean, he's making himself the central character of this
31:18
story. And by if by doing that, he's like, yes, I
31:21
ran the full length of Eric and I'm the first person ever does so he's
31:23
leaning into that and and and and he's he's manifesting it to life just through
31:29
sheer, ignoring fact and reason. You mean like, I'm not mad.
31:36
I can't be mad at it. Like Connor McGregor, who just pretty much
31:38
says, I'm the greatest champion. You haven't for years? Yeah, the
31:44
last time I say, yeah, last time I seen you fighter didn't go
31:45
too well. He's like, hardest fighter in years, best fighter of all
31:49
time. It's like, well, you know your record doesn't quite hardest fighter
31:53
of all time. I suppose he must be the hardest fighter of all's he
31:56
said it three times, didn't hats off to Ross. But with that being
32:06
said, if any of you people out there have run the length of Africa
32:08
before us, and you have a bone and you don't think he should be
32:12
this week this lad, well, you know what, let us know in
32:15
the comments, Tim, that's fair, right, that's that's both sides given
32:17
equal time. No, no, Jerry, no, this is this is
32:22
our dist lad and he is the greatest runner of Africa, well, the
32:28
greatest ginger runner of Africa all the time. Yes, yeah, and I'm
32:31
not taking a backward step on this. We can't wrap up this segment.
32:35
You just kind of glossed over it there. I've done a bit of running
32:37
him the time. You know, you said to me, and we're lining
32:39
this up. Oh yeah, you know, Jerry, you can talk about
32:42
this because you did a bit of running. Tom. I did a bit
32:45
of running four years ago. I just did that much talking about it.
32:51
Oh you'll say, oh you run, no, run, don't run.
32:54
Don't run it all Tom, you did the ross on it. You did
33:00
you rusted me. I did such a good pr job of the five runs
33:05
I've done in my life, I had you down as a runner, I
33:07
would have said, Jerem McBride, the runner. Yeah, that's run.
33:12
Never in the house. No, here's what I'm going to tell you,
33:15
Tom. Okay, fair play the russ for doing all that running. I
33:19
do a bit of running. Okay, Yeah, I know, I just
33:21
said I didn't. Some of these are just jokes, all right. I
33:23
do a bitter run. I hate it, Tom Good, I never I
33:29
never I never got to the point where all people will be like, yeah,
33:32
you know when you go out for a run and you feel really good,
33:35
oh don't oh, but to the point at the start where you feel
33:37
about but then you power through it and it's really enjoyable. No, it's
33:40
not good. I you know, it's it sucks. I don't like it,
33:44
Okay, And I tell you so. For him, for him to
33:47
run for like ten hours at a time, I'm like, fair enough,
33:51
I can see. I can kind of see the mentality of you doing it,
33:53
if you weren't going for time or speed or anything like that, and
33:55
you were happy just sort of plod plodding along, because that's kind of how
33:59
I run. I don't. I don't have any grace, tom Or,
34:01
I don't have any technique. I don't have a technique that cushions. Might
34:06
you have no grace, Jerry, I have no grace. I just saw
34:08
you running like a supple Arabian stallion down along the foath. No, no,
34:15
no, I run like I have a flesh wound. Another timer counting
34:17
down. All right, Okay, yeah I would. It's still pretty.
34:27
And how I run like a goat whose asses on fire? I I can
34:35
tell you how ross would do it, that you would just shut your brain
34:37
off, that you don't get to the end. You don't get to the
34:39
finish line through sheer fitness alone. There has to be a high degree of
34:45
pure dog ignorance. Yeah, all right, but there has to be a
34:50
point to what you're doing, Jerry, why are you doing it? Pure
34:53
dog ignorance supersedes all points. Tom never I never discount pure dog ignorance.
35:00
Okay, far in his life. But all this to say, Tom,
35:02
yeah, you're right. Can you imagine the ire of that man's home.
35:06
That's that's all I can all whateverybody's sunburned, whatever about the fatigue, whatever
35:10
about shin splints, whatever about cracked toes, whatever a blisters, whatever about
35:15
nipple chafing, whatever about the most obscure things happening that we don't even know
35:20
about until you push yourself to these extremes, snake bites, tiger ravagings.
35:25
All well, you'll be all right in Africa for tiger mullions, tigers embars.
35:31
Tom My honey badger coming out having an energy. He ripped your nott
35:37
straight off without even asking. Aside from all those things, I can kind
35:42
of tolerate him jar. But the one thing that I can relate to in
35:45
that moment is the unmerciful hire that that man would have on a level of
35:52
pain that the Gestapo couldn't have put out on me. I'm telling you now,
35:55
like all the pseudo cream in the world will not start out what that
36:00
man must have gone. That man's the inside of that man's eyes are worn
36:06
down to the bone on either that or he's got crocodile skin now on the
36:09
insides of his eyes and the inside of his arse cheeks like he's in a
36:13
bad way. No, he doesn't want pseudo cream, Tom, he wants
36:15
hammer right w D forty just never known? F Well how about that?
36:24
Now? Tom? What am I going to tell you? It is almost
36:27
time to wrap up the show for the week? Brother, We're not wrapping
36:34
up the show. I throughout it, we've been very cordial back and forth
36:37
to each other, but you want to I'm a contentrous sort and I can't
36:44
let it go anywhere without a small bit of a said, two small bit
36:47
of a to and fro with you, because from time to time we don't
36:50
agree on everything, and I is I I'm not starting a rout but I'm
36:55
starting a row. I'm a faid that would say, hey Jack, Tom,
37:02
you're gonna start a rib, brother, Aya, what are we going
37:05
to start a raw about? This week? We nearly got out of town,
37:07
We nearly got out of Dodger without starting a round. You tell me
37:09
you're not starting to row. That's starting talk. Man. Formula one?
37:17
You have one, you have no respect for it. I'm right, aren't
37:21
I? You are right? Yeah? I knew it. I just we're
37:24
gonna start a rout if we're going to start a row about something. I
37:27
think Formula one is as good a thing as any your far Formula one,
37:31
aren't you? I'm far formerly one? I am? I am, And
37:35
I wouldn't normally go into motorsports with it, but it is the pinnacle of
37:39
all that is great about motorsports. If you're going to go to the top
37:43
end of anything, whether you're banger raising or drifting or whatever, if you're
37:46
going to stand back and go, what is the cream of the crop of
37:50
what we're looking at here? If you've got to be Formula one. If
37:53
you're going to watch one karate tournament here, Tom, make it the All
37:58
Valley Karate tournament. Know you gonna make it the Komite, which is what
38:00
we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. I get, yeah,
38:04
you know what, I appreciate that town. But you know what I'm gonna
38:06
say, as a counter argument to that, you don't have to watch any
38:09
motorsport. You don't have to watch any motorsport. But all of us drive,
38:14
Jerry, Yes, that's true. Do you know what I mean?
38:15
So we all have a really and we all fancy ourself as some There's very
38:19
few people turn around I'm a brutal driver. Very few. Hey, listen,
38:23
you've seen people in traffic screaming at other people in traffic. Why not
38:28
because they actually have a problem with that person. They just think they're a
38:30
far superior driver than them. So can you imagine a bunch of seven Dann
38:36
black belts walking around looking at what they believe as rubbish white belts, and
38:40
then all of a sudden you look at just a grand a whole track full
38:44
of grand Masters, just going around at two hundred miles an hour in the
38:47
greatest, greatest four wheel machines there are in all. I gotta tell you,
38:52
Tom, I gotta tell you for Formula one. Okay, my problem,
38:55
my big problem with Formula one. Okay, it is not a sport
39:00
that allows itself to be enjoyed easily. But so what what was ever good
39:06
that was easy? Got? No? No relaxation and enjoyment should be easy,
39:09
Tom, It shouldn't be a penance to watch something I like. So
39:14
I remember I watched Formula one twenty years ago. I couldn't, no,
39:16
God, no more than twenty years ago, thirty years ago, Tom,
39:20
I keep forgetting the two that happened and and and Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine
39:30
and all these kind of lads like that's my generation Formula one drivers. Okay,
39:35
here's the thing with Formula one. Okay, if you were into football
39:39
or rugby, you'd kind of know, well, that's going to be on
39:43
on Saturday or Sunday at a certain time during the day, all right.
39:47
And if you're living in Ireland then you get, for whatever reason, getting
39:52
big into American football. You appreciate that's going to be late on a Sunday
39:54
night or late on the Monday night. It doesn't suit you right, right,
40:00
But with Formula one, because of tours all the way around the world,
40:04
there's no schedule you can cleep. It could be on at two o'clock
40:07
on a Sunday afternoon, what could be on a three o'clock on a Monday
40:12
morning. I get you, Yeah, okay, all right, yeah yeah,
40:15
yeah, yeah, fair enough. And I appreciate that when it's in
40:20
Monte Carlo and when it's in Brazil and when it's in Australia, that all
40:23
these things have to move around to meet the clocks. But that just leaves
40:28
it very, very hard to enjoy it, Tom, because like I've gotten
40:30
up in the middle of the night to watch things. Don't get me wrong.
40:32
If there was something I wanted to watch live, some live sport that
40:36
I wanted to watch in the middle night, I'll get up and watch it.
40:38
Formula one takes five hours, Tom. It's true, it's true.
40:43
I'll give you that. I'll give you that. What is the same time,
40:46
Isn't it class that you're not looking at the same green patch or something.
40:52
One minute you're in Monaco, and if they're ripping through the streets,
40:53
the next they're doing Vegas or they're in Abbodabi or whatever, and there's certain
40:59
conditions, then it's always in Silverston. It's going to be pissing down rain
41:01
because you know, Heaven forbid, you know, and all of there's so
41:05
many different factors involved that they have to get on board, and it's just
41:08
down to the finest margins, like you're talking about, No other sport can
41:15
be outdone by another version of that sport. Do you know what I mean?
41:20
Realistically? Like you know, like if soccer is soccer, you go
41:22
ara will English soccer is this, and Italian soccer is that, And there's
41:25
no like turbo soccer where the players have six legs and the ball is even
41:32
smaller and the net is even bigger. Every day table and every day is
41:37
the World Cup, World Cup. I will say this much, Tom,
41:42
I would enjoy Formula one and a lot more if it just implemented a couple
41:45
of changes. Go on, all right? Number one, you don't a
41:49
race doesn't have to be two hundred laps, all right, okay, make
41:52
it? Okay, five laptops? All right? You're before you know it,
41:57
you're going to be talking about nescar. Can we if you go round
41:59
in circles? If you if you haven't it won in five laps, you're
42:02
probably not going to win it. I don't know when the last time,
42:06
you know, Formula One fans can contradict me in the comments. Here,
42:09
is it a thing like Days of Thunder that someone comes from like twentieth position
42:14
way back in the in the field, that blitz past everybody on the last
42:17
lap. No, only if their pit team is having an ass screen rather
42:22
than second. More on that in a second. With the pick crews,
42:25
I'll tell you one thing, but you love to see a little bit of
42:30
underdog spirit, But no, it's only ever going to be one by the
42:31
top three lads. And you know, the lad who wins the race has
42:35
been in the lead for the last fifty laps, he's been in the lead
42:37
for two hours and any fastest and you're just glad the thing is over.
42:39
So that's one okay, right right. If you're not going to do that,
42:45
you need to jazz up the the pit crew up what like litery suits,
42:51
like they're all cheerleading. No, because I gotta tell you, Tom,
42:54
I don't think the pit crew has really gotten any faster in the last
42:59
thirty years. And by like a half a second, you have Jerry come
43:02
on years thirty years ago, one fella had a fag hanging out of his
43:06
mouth. The other fellow was had an oil rag hanging out of his back
43:08
pocket. Then there'd be another fella just texting his wife on like an old
43:13
Nokia No Jerry. But you you the pit crew of the whole thing,
43:20
it's like four tires off, four tires on. Pull the wee plastic thing
43:23
off the visor I think is still there. You know, changed it changed
43:29
the windscreen wipe or fluid and hanging in the front. You know, they
43:35
have it down to to like ten under ten seconds or whatever. But if
43:38
it was ten seconds thirty years ago, it's like eight point eight now.
43:42
It's not dramatic enough. Okay, here I've got I've got a solution for
43:45
it. If you all right, so you pull into a pit crew,
43:47
hum, you can tell me what all to do, right, Change the
43:52
tires, yeah, fill up with diesel. Yeah. Right, yeah,
43:55
that's that's about it. Right, that's it. Give give his win his
43:59
own is wind a rubber the cloth? Yeah, give a window rubb of
44:02
cloth. They got those tear off things. I do like those, right,
44:07
Okay, watch me now on this. Okay, go ahead. How
44:09
about if the cockpit that you sit into when you're driving, right, yeah,
44:16
was if you could imagine like that was one unit. It is one
44:21
unit, okay, but it's one unit that sort of plugs into the into
44:24
the top of the car like a Nintendo sixty four characterge right, you talk
44:29
about something you get out of a kinderregg where you clip the whole thing down
44:31
onto jassey and wheels. Okay, so you pull in in your car,
44:36
right, and besides, it is a whole another car, whole brand new
44:40
car full of diesel, fresh tires, ready to rock and roll. And
44:45
four lads, that's all it takes. Four pitt crew lads. You can
44:46
lay the others off. You don't need them now, okay, okay,
44:50
mass layoffs in the pit crew right, and they just sort of catch your
44:54
cockpit and lifted like a Bob's led with you in it, and pluck it
44:59
down the new car and you just hit them right, and you just hit
45:04
the accelerator. Boom, You're gone. And next time, assuming you want
45:08
to see like the driver in front be able to drop out the little shells
45:13
and stuff like that, and maybe a star you run over like a little
45:15
light box on the ground, and you know or maybe I don't know which
45:22
the defense you're on you want it as well. I am just saying that
45:25
that would be an exciting pit experience and I would enjoy watching that. Now
45:30
section three, Tom, you mentioned it there, weaponry. Yeah, I
45:34
would like to drop little spike balls at the back of these things once a
45:38
race. So choose carefully. Oh do you know what, I'd give you
45:44
the pit scenario. I'll give you the pit scenario, and I will say
45:46
right there, some of the tracks, like I would watch, I watch
45:49
Monico with a bit more of an eye than with a lot of the other
45:53
ones. Now, I mean you like you watch for accidents, that's what
45:59
you're watching for you. I mean that's you know, let's be honest.
46:01
So why not create this attle bit more danger And if we're going to do
46:05
if we're going to do the Kinder egg, the Kinder surprise and clip the
46:08
car off and clip it back onto another one? For jesus, I mean,
46:14
why not down? Why not down the track? They're ripping two hundred
46:19
and eighty two hundred miles an hour, that's like three hundred and sixty for
46:23
our European listeners are continental friends, why not put in a loop to loop
46:30
pure hot wheel stuff. Yeah, yeah, I'm down for that. Like
46:35
you, they can build anything nowadays, Jared, Yeah, And I mean
46:37
that was a statistic I learned about Formula one cars, Tom, is that
46:42
they produce. A Formula one car produces so much down draft to hold it
46:45
on the road. I produce a bit of down draft myself, chair,
46:50
I won't lie knows, but been known to do that myself. But these
46:52
lads produce taking the Vira again, to be honest, That's where I'm at
47:00
now. It's they do. They do produce it. They produce so much
47:05
down draft that theoretically you could raise a Formula one car upside down, like
47:10
upside down down, like I would hold itself to the roof like the car
47:14
and men of Black Jesus. Now that's that's that's not made up. That's
47:20
that's that's a candid fact. So why aren't we doing this? Tom?
47:23
I think maybe your pitching is over complicated. It was over egging the pudding
47:27
there now, right? Would you want to something here? Now? You're
47:31
only trying to add more scenarios to this. I think you already just said
47:37
stated a scientific fact. And Jerry McBride is going on record as being a
47:42
Formula one physicist. He tells me one of these race cars can race upside
47:49
down in the tunnel like the garden in Black. Then why are we wasting
47:52
our time driving doing that all together? Why why have we stuck this into
47:57
the into the equation if it can be done, I wait, that's you're
48:00
leaving way too much meat in the boneaving money on the table, adds.
48:05
And I'll tell you how. I'll tell you how. I know you can
48:07
raise a Formula one car upposite then, because I remember reading it one time.
48:12
I just don't remember where that's the finest. I don't need it any
48:15
more than that. I don't need any more facts. I don't need any
48:19
more figures done. I'll give you. I'm going to give you this to
48:22
the debt with anybody ever again. I'll give you one other thing, Tom,
48:25
that I can't stand about Formula one brother, And it's just something that
48:30
would like it annoys me, And I don't see how it wouldn't annoy a
48:36
Formula one driver. Okay, safety paramount in these cars, but a lot
48:38
of tragic accidents, all right, you know, so you know when this
48:43
gid off the road and all that kind of thing. It's nice to know
48:45
that everybody's buying large gonna walk by the way, you're saying this with absolute
48:52
Don't get me wrong. He's said, good, blah blah blah, give
48:59
me, give me a give me a spectacle, give me a spectacular spin
49:02
out on a chicane, all right. But like it's nice to know that
49:06
whoever it is is going to walk away from it, all right, Okay,
49:09
So that's that, okay. And one of the safety measures they have
49:13
employed in these cars in recent years, I've seen it this fat I don't
49:17
watch them all Formula one, but I've seen this this past couple of years.
49:21
I'm looking at it going like it's not always been in cars. In
49:25
the cockpit again, which is not detachable. Again, money on the table,
49:29
humph. There's like a halo. Yes, yeah, there's like a
49:35
halo around the driver's head, I guess. And it's about it looks like
49:40
it looks like the frame of a coffee table. It's like, okay,
49:44
but Pavian one like that costs a lot of money. Yeah, yeah,
49:47
nice. And and this halo obviously is like a rollbar protection to stop the
49:52
head, your head from lopping around the place. But it terminates in like
49:58
a bar. Yeah, it's directly in your sight line. It's like it's
50:04
it's like a bar that's about three inches wide and it comes directly down the
50:09
cockpit of the car. I think, if we're to if this will prove
50:13
anything I couldn't. I can barely drive with a squished fly on the windscreen.
50:19
Yeah, if a border of cooped on the window, I'm like,
50:22
oh god, I have to clean that. Turn around and go home.
50:23
I'm turned around, go home. Here's ruined, today's gone. I cannot
50:29
fathom how these lads can do two hundred miles an hour. Now. I
50:31
know you're looking right go right, and you're looking left to go left,
50:36
But Jesus, if you're going straight and you have a big scaffolding pole down
50:39
the middle, I will give you that. Just just just just imagine you're
50:44
driving straight down the road and directly in front of you on your windscreen is
50:47
a strip of duct tape. Yeah. Yeah, like, yeah, you
50:52
know you'll probably see it a round But maybe it's just the way my brain
50:55
works. I'm not gonna look anywhere except that. And I'm going to be
50:58
cross outed by lap too. If that's a candid fact. Yeah, I'll
51:01
give you that. And even when I'm watching these buys now and they're flying
51:05
around the place. I'm like, I'm getting sick looking at it because I
51:07
can't I can't imagine the discomfort that must be. And then we've got God
51:10
love the poor Formula one billionaires now. But at the same time, I'm
51:14
just like, no, I can't watch this. Maybe they're just pre empting
51:17
your thoughts. And that's just a handle for the lad they're going to hire
51:21
a big fellow. Just pull off, clip off the That's just a handle
51:25
because you lift them out, a handle for a big fella. Just pick
51:30
it up and drop it onto his new chassis. Boom. Then maybe we're
51:35
back in the race, Tom, How are you doing, my good man?
51:37
I'm happy en off there. I know I haven't convinced in you.
51:40
We won't ever watch a lick of formerly one ever again or ever. But
51:45
at the same time, I think we met. We met somewhere, We
51:46
met somewhere in somewhere. We met somewhere on down the track. I don't
51:50
know where we met. It wasn't halfway anyway, but we came up with
51:53
a few things that will never be implemented in IF one. But I think
51:57
we can both agree they'd be class Yes, right. We're not making it
52:00
a safe for any of That's what our notions. That's what I'll tell you.
52:05
We have if anybody out there disagrees with us, who comes down on
52:08
Tom's side pro formula one, who's on Jerry's side anti formula one, let's
52:13
have let's let's us have a little fight off in the comments about and if
52:17
you do in the comments, a coup of tea and a bit of an
52:20
else set to you, a bit of a donny Brook in the comments,
52:22
folks, we love it. And where are these mythical comments? We've been
52:25
talking about them all show. At the wrap up, we're going to tell
52:29
you exactly where the comments are. The comments are in your social media platform
52:32
of choice. Tom, that's where you'll find the Tom and Jerry Show.
52:35
You'll find us on Instagram at Tom and Jerry's Show, or Twitter x at
52:40
Tom and Jerry Show. Again. We'll get you there, and you won't
52:44
be all that far away from either me at Tom, me at Jerry McBride
52:49
or him. Yeah, in fact, anything that you disagreed with Tomo Man
52:52
had just risen underneath Jerry McBride's because yeah, that's you'll get to us it'll
52:57
get to us. It'll get to us either way. Us on the Socials
53:00
is basically our advice because this time around with Tom and Jerry Show, we're
53:04
going to be very active on social media. I'm gonna show you everything that
53:07
we've been talking about, and we're going to have the crap that you find
53:09
folks, And of course you'll never miss an episode if you follow us on
53:14
the Socials. You'll also never miss an episode. If you hit subscribe to
53:17
us whatever platform you're listening right now, it's most likely ei're going to be
53:22
the usual Spotify, Apple, but the usual ones just hit the bell as
53:25
well as hitting subscribe, so at least it'll pop up on your phone every
53:29
single Thursday, so you'll go, oh Jesus, yes, less and then
53:32
for a finish you once you need think, but we'll just be landing there.
53:36
If you can rate it, I know you can do nowadays on Spotify,
53:38
you can do it on Apple as well. If you can rate on
53:40
what app ever app you're on, give it the highest rating you can please,
53:44
and it's in below you go. I'm not sure the guys really hit
53:46
their straps on that one. No good to us, it's no good to
53:50
us either way. But what it does allow more people these platforms when they
53:53
go, oh the glads are getting load of five stars, will make it
53:57
more visible to more people. The more people on board, more we can
54:00
put time into pulling out more episodes. So other than that, I'm fairly
54:05
happy with that now, Jared, I'm in no way gonna go out and
54:07
have a look for the moon or just sounder whatever I'm going to do.
54:10
No, no, nor am I gonna I'm not gonna run the length of
54:13
anything. I'm gonna run from here to the bed. Maybe that'll be about
54:15
it. Yeah, and keep the up tape off the windscreen of the car
54:20
the most important thing, and that is it. We will see you back
