- 1:15m How are you doing? And indeed, how is all the listeners of
- 1:18the Tom and Jerry Show doing? I feeling extremely manly, Jerry, I
- 1:22have been working a mixer and whatnot my poor hands. Honestly, I know.
- 1:26I showed you my finger last week and people got quite excited when we
- 1:29put the video up off my busted finger and your your did we see your
- 1:33name? Your makey toe? See? We did? We put it up
- 1:34on the social media there, Yes we did. People were delighted with both
- 1:38of our indigens. Yes, I'd forgotten what my poor comedian hands felt like
- 1:46after you putting up I think called expanding metal. You know, well what
- 1:51it's I know it's metal very well. Well, I'm a cheap, cheap
- 1:55bastard and I bought four inch stuff, but I only needed to cover two
- 1:59in? So what did I do there? That role doubled? I can
- 2:04tell you what I said of sniffs, but what you're left with is if
- 2:07you imagine tiny, tiny, a roll of tiny, tiny, tiny rabbit
- 2:13wire, that's what it is. The smallest rabbit in the world would need
- 2:15this. But it's far stapling or nailing onto a piece of timber that you
- 2:20want to plaster over. I eat a wall plate. I eat a piece
- 2:23of timber on top of the wall. And now we just got right into
- 2:25it this week, Tom, Look, I just wanted to tell you why
- 2:28my poor little hands are falling apart because they're full of pinholes. I was
- 2:31using a cement mixer, yes, because I had a bunch of plasters onsite,
- 2:35and I was driving them hard. I drove them to eight o'clock last
- 2:37night. And now my poor little hands are all lime burnt and dry,
- 2:43and I'm going to need some sort of gloves. Is what you need?
- 2:47Gloves are exactly what you need, neither left nor right of it. And
- 2:53actual fact, you don't need gloves. You needed gloves. Ah, Yes,
- 2:57you knew that I did that picture of me, Tom thombs up at
- 3:00the mixer last night. You went where where your scoop and cement with your
- 3:05bare hands into the mixing. Yeah. I had to check the consistency because
- 3:08they were scudden. I had to check the consistence was good and shloppy like
- 3:12so would you not normally possibly be wearing a pair of gloves for that.
- 3:15I'm not asking you dumb to put on a pair of like mink skin driving
- 3:21gloves. You know, their merrygols, the ones to come with a little
- 3:25actual flower on the top. Yeah. Yeah, green gloves a revolution in
- 3:32their day. I gotta tell you. There's a yellow and green building glove
- 3:36that I think started life as a garden glove. I was. I was
- 3:38around when they weren't around, and they were the big canvas coal miners mits.
- 3:44Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. You couldn't make a fist with
- 3:46them. They just wouldn't turn. And then yeah, you remember those ones,
- 3:50they were like dipped plastic. Do you remember those ones? They were
- 3:53yeah, yeah, yeah, the red ones, and it just likes going
- 3:57around yea, yeah yeah. And and now now, I say, now
- 4:01these days, twenty years ago they introduced like a hardy green rubber glove with
- 4:08like a yellow cloth back to them. That was nice and flexible. And
- 4:13I believe they're orange and black now these days there's a pair. My wife
- 4:16has left a pair on the site, a pair of green and a pair
- 4:18of orange. I hastened to I kind of kind of test to see which
- 4:24ones she picks up first, if you know what I mean, and see
- 4:26if I made the right choices seven years ago when I married her. Do
- 4:30you know what I mean? I want to see she picks up the green
- 4:30pair or the orange the You're welcome along with the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 4:38I know I welcome just along. But if this is your first episode of
- 4:41the Tom and Jerry Show, it's a lot like this. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:44it doesn't. It's very an awful lot, like you know what I
- 4:46mean. There's bits and bobs in between, but you know what I mean,
- 4:47It's like that's this is it? Yeah, this is I learned a
- 4:54wonderful phrase, Tom, I learned a wonderful phrase this very day. We'll
- 4:58get into the show now in a little second, but I want to this
- 5:00phrase your way. Every love a phrase, love a phrase. It's it's,
- 5:04it's, it's, it's kind of it's it's a technique, it's,
- 5:06it's, it's, it's, it's a whole thing. Hiken. That's a
- 5:12word I love hiking hiking about. No, this is called nerd sniping,
- 5:15Okay, nerd SNIPINGRD Well, I guess you could hyphenate it there if you
- 5:21want to, and basically what it is. It's a form of attack.
- 5:29Oh are you attacking nerds? They call it nerd sniping, But you can
- 5:32attack anybody and it's an attack of the mind. It's throwing out a spurious
- 5:40piece of information or a complicated puzzle based on something that you know the person
- 5:47you're attacking has interest in to distract them and allow you to get your kicks
- 5:55in or run away. That you're pretty fucking nerdy jury to be well like,
- 6:02it's it's so so give me mar hampler, as they say in Irish,
- 6:09Marhampler with you, Tom. If you or me were to get into
- 6:12a shin dig outside of pub, all right, okay, we wouldn't.
- 6:15But if we did, and you're coming at me and I'm coming at you,
- 6:18and I probably think, now Tom Bear has me on this one,
- 6:20all right, but I could say something like Tom, I'm going to hit
- 6:24you like a toty kilo bag of cement. Yeah right, okay, yeah,
- 6:31yeah, yeah, okay, all right, And what immediately would your
- 6:35brain say, Jesus Christ, might that's that's too big because it's only twenty
- 6:40five kilobas meant these days, right, yeah, right, And that might
- 6:45get that little shimmy in your brain might give me the window to get the
- 6:53falsest box you've ever seen. Was gonna get the fuck out of the run
- 6:57away or run the fu away one of the other. Right, But you
- 7:00see what I'm saying, Tom, that's great. So that's that's what nerd
- 7:03sniping. That's a nerd snipe. And you could you could, you know,
- 7:06you could, You could say to me, you know this is this
- 7:11is this is harder than playing Super Mario. Want a Sega Mega Drive and
- 7:15we'll brain would explode for a second and go no, wa, no,
- 7:17hang on a second, No, you're right. Yeah, Or you could
- 7:20or you could Rather than just throwing a spurious piece of information like that,
- 7:26I could I could throw you at like a puzzle. So I could throw
- 7:31at you go like, hey, Tom, real quick, how you know
- 7:33how would you get an sds D a little bit into a non sds chuck
- 7:38right and you that would take you a little you know, I would know
- 7:43that would be something you might have interest in. Ah, this doesn't have
- 7:46to be like combat fighting, Tom, you know, this would be a
- 7:48lot more like you know, if you were in the pub. I don't
- 7:51know why so many of these fights take place in the pub where else is
- 7:55a fight and if someone was at you and they'd like you, if I
- 8:00wish this bollocks had shut up, or Jesus, I just need I need
- 8:03five minutes apiece with this fella, just a round put non sd an sts
- 8:09real bit in a non sts chuckle and that might just shut him up.
- 8:13To sip a pint for three or four. I need that. I need
- 8:16that, but I'm kind of wary about it. I actually need that right
- 8:20now because there's a guy that I continuously run into. And I love moving
- 8:24back home, but I have continuously running into this guy. I didn't know
- 8:26him beforehand, but by god, do I know him now? And I
- 8:28don't know if I know him at all, But he's the most boring human
- 8:33on the planet with Gusto. He's boring with Gusto, and he'd fool you
- 8:41for the first while, he'd fool anybody with how he talks with such niceness.
- 8:46But then you realize you're saying do you know he's saying phrases like us?
- 8:52And I mean, I wore a jacket out this morning. She wouldn't
- 8:54know what way the weather be ah yes, sweating bullets now, Shan and
- 8:58then I would you drop the jacket home? That's the question you have to
- 9:01be asking yourself, like sure, and you would know that Ireland before for
- 9:05four US in the day. And I swear to God, I want to
- 9:07run my own face into a wall listening to it. It's just even at
- 9:11that time, like you know, that's like I know he's just doing that
- 9:13because he might be born fair enough, but he if he was to turn
- 9:18that skill for evil. I genuine I genuinely think he has. It's like
- 9:24water on a rock now this sach and I am absolutely busted. I can't,
- 9:28I can't abide. I can't, And I feel bad. He's brilliantly
- 9:33gaslight to me in that I cannot. I feel bad. See going around
- 9:37and going around behind you, Robin the van and you wouldn't because you're literally
- 9:41just worn down. Yeah. Yeah, And this this is not a new
- 9:45thing, Tom, and we won't get into the show now in two wee
- 9:46seconds. But this technique is not a new thing. There's examples of it
- 9:50going back to World War Two. This was a military campaign to halt the
- 9:56production of the V two rockets, the German V two pockets, and Germany
- 10:01was like trying to create their own atomic bomb and all this kind of crack.
- 10:05It's probably like going over. So if you guys were having Nitzelhauses this
- 10:07morning, would you have like warm tea or would you have like sweet tea?
- 10:11I'm just asking you, Tom, Tom, Yeah, that's what was
- 10:16happening. There were there was a there was a plan, whether ever,
- 10:18when they'd the players or not, to like air drop leaflets with complex mathematical
- 10:24equations. Oh my god, and what can sidoku? Was writ sigh up
- 10:30to just pay turn people's eye away from you know, some government taxing all
- 10:35of our underpantss you know, and and and and and. The idea would
- 10:37be that these these taxing uh not taxing in the form you're talking about,
- 10:43but these challenging arithmetic problems and scientific formulas and whatnot would be of no interest
- 10:48to absolutely anybody whatsoever. But if a lad who was a physician physicist working
- 10:54on an on a V two rocket even caught a look of it, it
- 10:58would bug all day, It would vex them all day. Okay, So
- 11:03this is what tech TikTok is essentially, this is what Yeah, it finds
- 11:07what you're interested in. It shows you loads of it, and then you
- 11:09kind of go, oh, where'd me they go? Where did the production
- 11:11go? Where are my V two rockets? They should be raining down on
- 11:15London as we speak. I was about to make a counteract, you know,
- 11:18a some sort of anti venom. And now look the look it has
- 11:26gone from me. I'm gonna home and and and and you know you couldn't
- 11:31turn around and explain it or superior in the in the s s or whatever
- 11:35you were in. Why why haven't you got why haven't you got nerve gas?
- 11:39Why haven't you got B two rockets? I just you know what?
- 11:43The good will hunting me? So the day that they put they put formul
- 11:46up on a blackboard, and I've been looking at it all day. They
- 11:50got not done. They dropped. They dropped loads of little moving flicker flicker
- 11:54books of funny goats falling over. And now, now, honestly, like
- 12:00that, that was it. It was like they would drop like little mazes
- 12:03and things, and even if you got it, you couldn't walk past it.
- 12:07I'm just going to finish this maze. I'm gonna I'm just gonna do
- 12:09this scientific problem. God, hey, have them distracted. You can do
- 12:13whatever you want, you can stab them, do whatever you want. I
- 12:16want to do. I want a couple of listeners to do some nerd sniping
- 12:20this week, just for the crack on a family member, a loved one,
- 12:24just for the crack, to see if you can, if how well
- 12:28it works by pulling them off in the other direction and then hitting them with
- 12:31something that you were maybe about to broach them with, Like I'm heading out
- 12:33advised the weekend, but you know you've thrown or vice verse. I'm heading
- 12:39out with the girls the weekend and what what? Yeah? Fire fire away?
- 12:45Where's that? Where's that twenty? We're gonna lend me Jesus CHRISTI here?
- 12:48Well, all that said, Tom, we appear to have nerd sniped
- 12:50ourselves. We have, actually we have. We have a show to them
- 12:56Christ and we better get into it. We start we are we every week
- 13:00toime we take a look at the big news of the week, don't you
- 13:03know the brew the Shenanigans? Tom, what we have come here on the
- 13:07Tom and Jerry Show to refer to as the weekly what have You? This
- 13:11is a very complicated case, Mad. You know a lot of a lot
- 13:15of what have you? And uh, a lot of strands to keep in
- 13:18my head. Man, go on, I mean there's been you know,
- 13:22we probably don't you know, there was possibility that we jumped the gun.
- 13:26But there's a lot left to be said about because again I'm very new to
- 13:31politics, so I'm only paying attention to it now really truthfully, So I
- 13:37suppose you know, but I am. I've never given two shots to it
- 13:41before and I still lovely don't. But I'm finding the nuances that we're talking
- 13:46about very very funny and very very interesting. And you you pointed out in
- 13:52this is that is? This is what it is. Why don't seem when
- 13:54you go looking and honest to God, you'd be shouted at if you carry
- 13:58it on after an under fourteen county final the way they count inside in the
- 14:03basketball court somewhere in the middle of Ireland where they do the counting. Because
- 14:07you all know people what we're talking about immediately, Here's what it is.
- 14:11This gives anybody's dropping in here out of space time we better bring them up
- 14:15to speed that we are still even though we talked about it last week,
- 14:18we are still talking about the local and European elections, which if you're listening
- 14:22to this when it drops on Thursday. Please God, they have all the
- 14:26counting done, because we're recording this late on Tuesday evening and it is still
- 14:31going. It's not is it serious? Oh they're still elactin lads. Yeah,
- 14:35oh, this is a fact. They're up to the seventeen count here
- 14:37in Dublin. What oh yeah, No, I'd be I'd be putting a
- 14:41match to whatever was left and saying figured out lads. Oh, now that's
- 14:43going shredding and going underneath a guinea pig somewhere if you have to get yeah,
- 14:48just turning wrong, going like who's who's who's standing him over there?
- 14:50But all that being said, we're not going to take you into who won
- 14:54and who got a seat and all that kind of place. I'm sure you
- 14:56can find that out. Do go find it out. You get your news
- 15:01from r Indeed, all the podcasts that are dedicated to it, we are
- 15:03more dedicated to talking shout and that's what we're going to do. And what
- 15:07we're going to talk shit about is what Tom was saying there, which is
- 15:11the custom in Ireland. And I haven't I don't know if this is a
- 15:15UK. Yeah, I've seen this across the continent. This is definitely it's
- 15:20whoever wins or ever gets elected, whoever gets the set immediately gets hoisted up
- 15:26onto the shoulders of the people who are around them. Yeah, I thought
- 15:31it was just originally he raised down and call or carry, But it's not.
- 15:35It seems to be. And the awkwardness of it jair. Some people
- 15:39don't want it. Some people you say, it happens the country over right.
- 15:43I saw this guy and he was after winning something. It was some
- 15:46Dublin district. He was out of winning. But he was a big old
- 15:50unit like, he was a big tall man and stuff. And I could
- 15:52see a few people kind of tentively going at him, but he was so
- 15:56excited he kind of started punching the air and swinging himself like flinging. He
- 16:02would have cleaned somebody's head clean off if they got tim too early, but
- 16:06they were still they were making inroads to lift him. But he almost killed
- 16:10somebody with a punch when an excited air punch. You say that he was
- 16:12a big unit, right, there's two things at fault here, Tom,
- 16:17Okay, what we're gonna do here now? In case anybody thinks we're gonna
- 16:19go Candida by candy and say he would and wouldn't lift. We're not going
- 16:23to do that. Although, when you were driving around over the last two
- 16:26weeks, ladies and gentlemen of the Tom and Jerry Show listenership, and you've
- 16:30seen all those posters up around you, did any of those people look like
- 16:34they would be easy to carry? One fella? Genuinely, one fellow when
- 16:38we were discussing this, Yes he was. His poster was still up.
- 16:44I know. I think it worked out too well for him. He looked
- 16:47like the farmer from Babe. Do you know that doctor James Crumb with the
- 16:52narrowest neck and narrowest face I've ever seen. It was like I could probably
- 16:56lift that guy. I could well, you know, in three or four
- 17:00seconds. But I don't think he got lifted. No, I'm not being
- 17:03bad man or Tom. But there was a couple of people out of their
- 17:06way and their posters needed three cable ties. Yeah, not being the good
- 17:14ones too, not the not the yourship ones, the good ones. Yeah.
- 17:18So what we're what we're gonna do with the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 17:19We don't care who got elected really one way or another. You know,
- 17:22May that God go with them. But what we want to offer to everybody
- 17:26here now is a manual handling course because some of you clearly have never been
- 17:32sat down and shown how to bend at the knees while keeping your back straight.
- 17:37Oh Lord saves, yeah, clearly. The lad the Laddin question,
- 17:41the Laddin question that I seen where I was like, no, no,
- 17:42no, that's that's a spinal injury right there. Oh yeah, and he
- 17:48was, he was. He wasn't a big unit by any means, but
- 17:49like he is a grown adult man, so he had to be thirteen fourteen
- 17:53stone right like a grown man. Yeah, and country to so you know
- 17:59he dead yeah, dense, yeah, bones and there yeah yeah, and
- 18:03some here's this it's okay, it's the person that's being lifted, right,
- 18:07fair enough, uh huh. But then also you have the people that are
- 18:12lifting them, which tends to be they're elderly relatives, honestly, like or
- 18:18some that wull be the point where I would because you don't want many if
- 18:22you if you're carrying a few, you don't want to be embarrassed like and
- 18:25going oh Jesus, And it's like get them up here, now, get
- 18:29them up and it's like you know, you're da on one side and your
- 18:32oldest uncle on the other side, and they are buckling like whatever you're being
- 18:37elected to, you better have a ward with whoever does the hospitals because you
- 18:40need to hip replacements straight away. You have to wonder like you kind of
- 18:44you know, if you're campaigning for somebody in canvas in away and you're kind
- 18:47of going, you know, they suggest maybe jumping in the carn and walking
- 18:52on to the next bit, and you're like, do you know what,
- 18:53maybe we should just power k to that. I'm just saying, yeah,
- 18:56you know, what have you have? You got a fitbit on just an
- 19:00idea, Hey, it could look good for fitness, and we're out and
- 19:03about. You know, we look like you know that RFK guy who looks
- 19:04as who's doing push ups and chin ups and stuff. He look fit.
- 19:08I'm just saying, You're like, but no, we'll drive, No,
- 19:12no, no, we'll we'll we'll get a salad on the way home.
- 19:15Actually as well. But while we look at it, because I can see
- 19:18you winning and I'm gonna have to get a shoulder on you. Yeah,
- 19:22but I watched about I'd say I actually typed it in Politicians lived and it
- 19:27does and it comes Oh my good, got everyone on the jure hamstring's blown
- 19:33out, lower back sciatica's I can see the saatic nerves are just being snapped.
- 19:38The one lad like I said, this lad I was telling you about
- 19:41that would have been about thirteen, and we'll give them thirteen. Okay,
- 19:42we'll be generous. We say thirteen, okay, maybe thirteen and a half.
- 19:45Right, And it chapped him in like there's the lift where it's one
- 19:52lad on either side and it's somewhat of a high stop. You catch him
- 19:55underneath the legs and he's arson and lift them up. You got to cheek
- 19:56on either shoulder, right, yeah, But in this instance a boy came
- 20:02on the stuck his head like the way and we're married men now, but
- 20:07we weren't always. But you remember, like, you know, if you
- 20:10were at Oxygen and some young ones said, can I get up on your
- 20:14shoulders to see kaiser chiefs or whoever the hell it might be? Yeah,
- 20:17yeah, and you just go yeah, all right, and you give them
- 20:18a who shop on the shoulders and to be sitting up like well, up
- 20:22on your shoulders until you were like, where's this going? Love? Right?
- 20:26Oh look I can see my boyfriend from here. Get it up all
- 20:30right? Then you get all right and you go nice. Knowing you this
- 20:33pillat stuck his head on their kneath and between your man's legs. Right,
- 20:37so the way he was standing, he was like at an l He was
- 20:41at a ninety degree angle, like that bracket right there on the meat,
- 20:47yeah, at the back of his neck underneath a man's goots, with the
- 20:51intention that when he stood up. So if you can imagine, oh,
- 20:53I see a penny, I bent over and I picked it up, and
- 20:56when you stand up, you're just gonna stand up. Except now you have
- 21:00a fourteen stone man. I know he's gained half a stone there. Now.
- 21:03Yeah, you talk about him last Tom, I'm going to tell you
- 21:07that's not happening, not at that angle, not at that angle, at
- 21:11that angle. So what we want to do is if you are going to
- 21:15do that, that particularly gonna hosh someone up on your shoulder. The elections
- 21:19are gone, but we are heading into festival season. So if you find
- 21:22yourself at longitude, then you you you know, you want to lift one
- 21:26of your pals up, or you want to you need to get somebody higher
- 21:30than they area here's as best as I can the best advice I can offer
- 21:33you based on the manual handling that I've done in my life. Let's do
- 21:37bend at the knees. They ain't caning around with that Tom. Bend at
- 21:41the knees, like bend down like you're gonna, you know, like you're
- 21:42Scott and you're a cave man scotting to take a poot behind a rock.
- 21:45Yeah yeah, right, then get whoever it is too slowly, all right,
- 21:51and gently put themselves up onto your shoulder, right, okay, because
- 21:56what was that? What I've seen in the basketball courts around Ireland over the
- 22:00weekend was everybody trying to do this in one clean and jerk motion. Terrible
- 22:04idea. Nobody warmed up nothing, No, d you're saying all this kind
- 22:10of air air punching and wriggling around and and all this kind of track.
- 22:15No, No, this is the thing where everybody wants to be somewhat steady
- 22:18on their feet, right, And they're probably in like dress shoes too,
- 22:22because a lot of people are wearing slecks. You know what I mean,
- 22:25you gotta be in their courts court style shoes. If you want grip,
- 22:27you need good, like to start like Jerry's right, bend your back bender
- 22:32or you know what I mean, straight back, straight up, bend your
- 22:33needs, get your ass nearly touching the ground. You want those feet planted
- 22:37a little over shoulder with a part pointing forward so they're they're directly parallel to
- 22:44your knees, and how they point not out the way, not in the
- 22:45way out straight ahead, in line with your needs. And you gotta like
- 22:51you gotta you gotta have a good pair of shoes on me. Like I'm
- 22:55not saying you gotta have you gotta lay them up to the gin, but
- 22:57you gotta have shoes on it, like you can't be in the shitp and
- 23:00crocks, you know what I mean. And not for nothing neither. Now
- 23:03I know you know not the error of your election, Tom, but a
- 23:07lot of these guys have been standing around Account and Center for fourteen hours.
- 23:11So yeah, you're you're not going it? Okay, Look that's going to
- 23:15be that right. We can't account for when you're going to be lifted up.
- 23:18Here's the bit of advice I want to give you. Plenty of boys
- 23:21around you, right if you are going to be the lifty, if you're
- 23:25going to have this lad up on your shoulders. Yeah, you don't want
- 23:29to be the man to do all the lifting. Here's where the two boys
- 23:34come in on either other side. Yeah, okay, to catch the buye
- 23:37underneath the oxters and that's under nater arm your armpit for those of you that
- 23:41aren't caught from the country by on either side. Caught him by the oxers,
- 23:47and they do the bulk of the lifting. Yeah, but the lifty
- 23:51too, jir, I'm I mean you do the lifty does a bit.
- 23:52I can give a like count, like assuming that they don't have the shortest
- 23:57legs in the world in a big long back. If they've if they've stood
- 24:00in over your shoulders on that one, two three, a little bounce wouldn't
- 24:06hurt a little A little up onto the toes and up we go. This
- 24:08is what happens when the undertaker puts you up for a choke slam. Right
- 24:12he half the work has been done by it has been done by Sean Michael's
- 24:17doing right. So if you're being lifted, help your man out, like,
- 24:22jump up with them, don't sand bag them. Yeah yeah, and
- 24:26you'll have a by either side of your arms under the oxors and they are
- 24:30going to be doing the bulk at the lifting, so that the guy who
- 24:33you are going to end up on the shoulders of all he really has to
- 24:37do is stand up. Yeah, and none of this huge amounts of lifting.
- 24:45None of us flapping around either, because I've seen this. They're wiggling.
- 24:48They're happy, they're excited, and maybe it's something to do with the
- 24:51base of the human that's under them, but they're way wiggling back and forth.
- 24:55Get yourself steady, give the one finger in the air like the boxers
- 24:59kind of pose. Let's have one of them, Like, let's have one
- 25:02of them, number one, baby, number one. Now the dismount jer
- 25:06this is where things can go fair wrong. When you think everything's all right.
- 25:10You've gotten them up there. Hey, I feel fine, no back
- 25:12pain, no shoulder paints. This is actually okay. You could stay up
- 25:15there for a good minute. The boys are supporting everything. Once you have,
- 25:19once you have the weight up on your shoulders, Tom like, oh
- 25:22you take stand there for half an hour? Yeah you could, but it's
- 25:26a dismount. Now, this is where things could get very messy, you
- 25:30know what I mean. I mean, look, I would say if you're
- 25:33ever in that position. You have to do it at whatever, whether it's
- 25:37an especially an election, because things only agree can kick off at a wedding
- 25:41as well, I will say, but I'm saying it. The only female
- 25:45I saw getting lifted was in like a Jackie o Nessa's style pants suit,
- 25:51you know what I mean, Like like it was a trousers. There was
- 25:53trousers going on a lot. Can I don't know where this where the line
- 25:57is drawn in a woe wearing a skirt or something like. It's like,
- 26:00okay, well now all of a sudden, my head's upper skirt and that's
- 26:03a photo opportunity. Just wait. But aside from all that, that's just
- 26:07a side note. Keep an eye on what they're wearing. If they're wearing
- 26:11quarterized walk away, you don't want that on your neck, you know what
- 26:14I mean, you don't. It's the dismount. R the dismount very tempting
- 26:18to just lean forward and flop off, get off, you're done. I
- 26:23was going to say, it's very very just to kick your legs out and
- 26:26fall directly backwards, bounce up and then just choke slam them. Yeah yeah,
- 26:33drop the drop, drop the elbow and them. Yeah, yeah,
- 26:37yeah, yeah, F five then or whatever after that. Great, the
- 26:41you gotta think about the dismount. They need to work with you. Everybody
- 26:44needs to do the exact same thing, only in reverse. In reverse,
- 26:51you are not out of danger until their heels are back on the ground again.
- 26:56You know you are going to hear a knepop. Guaranteed you're gonna hear
- 26:59your own need when you come down slowly, but feet planted under you down
- 27:04slowly, have their oxters held, yes, be touched the ground you're on.
- 27:08Okay, I would, I'd scooch forward a little bit because they're they're
- 27:14you know, their legs are probably gone dead because they've been on the shoulders
- 27:15for half an hour. Scooch forward a little bit in that kind of schlev
- 27:19style crouch, and then you're way out of it. Just wash the back
- 27:26of your neck after that, up there for half an hour, you know
- 27:27it's and if you are the way or the man or woman who has after
- 27:30being elected and you're hushed up on shoulders like fight the urged, do like
- 27:34a franky the Tory style dismount. Yeah you know, yeah, yeah yeah,
- 27:40because chances are you're not in a pair of air Jordan Ones either in
- 27:45same basketball court. Do you know what I mean? You're gonna probably land
- 27:48crack your tailbone, you know, because very few of these are fresh people.
- 27:53Very few of these you know what I mean. They all have their
- 27:56back teeth, and some of them they're starting to curl, you know,
- 27:59like an out horse. And I go back to Tom, like, why
- 28:03why we feel that we can offer advice on this is that we have had
- 28:08more than our fair share. I would imagine of manual handling courses like every
- 28:14you people don't understand every job I ever started in my life up but very
- 28:18recently, they would sit you down. You'd be brought in on a Saturday,
- 28:22like normally on a Saturday, and sat down and showed like, you
- 28:26know, the correct way to lift the box, the correct way to slide
- 28:30a box off a table, the correct way to do all this, how
- 28:33to carry a thing from here to here. And it wasn't for your employer
- 28:36who wanted to save your back. It was your It was an insurance thing,
- 28:38right, of course I did one two months ago. I did want
- 28:44to two months ago. And and I'm looking at this and the guy's going,
- 28:47you know yourself, Tom, And he was right, like there was.
- 28:49Some of it was a bit like, I don't know if you remember,
- 28:53or you could pick any robot from any TV series ever where you turn,
- 28:57have you ever you know to turn with the yeah, yeah, yeah
- 29:00yeah, and you're literally you are already Arty two D two or you know
- 29:04you're your man from Red Dwarf or whatever. You know. It's but I
- 29:10was kind of sniggering all these things. I'm like, I have been Hooshi
- 29:12and stuff. I've done this these courses before. I was probably ninety percent
- 29:17right. I was there there about ninety percent right, Okay, a few
- 29:19things, I'm like, I will never ever be doing that. I promise
- 29:23you. I will get a big moldovan to do that before I will do
- 29:27that. But the guy beside me, I don't. I don't think that
- 29:32poor man has ever even pulled up his own underpants correctly. I've never seen
- 29:36a more awkward human in all my life. God bless him. I couldn't.
- 29:41I couldn't be as awkward as him. If I, in my Daniel
- 29:45day Lewis could study this man for six months, he could marry the man's
- 29:49wife, move into his home, care for his kids. Yeah, as
- 29:56part of his upcoming role in the awkwardest man life. He would still still
- 30:03not nail it. He would quit acting because he would fail so badly at
- 30:07trying to be as awkward as this man. I honestly, if he's not
- 30:11listening because English was in his first language, if he ever has to ever
- 30:17lift any I literally said to the guy, he'd be working there long.
- 30:19This is two weeks, I went, I'd go find something else. If
- 30:23I were you, this is going to be horrific for you because they will
- 30:29work you into the ground because they've taught you how to lift as far as
- 30:32they've concerned. As far as that is it. If you turn around in
- 30:34six months time and say I have a very sore back, I've got like
- 30:38the jam has come out of my donut. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
- 30:42yeah. For any of you who've done a manual handling course, you'll know
- 30:45that the jam coming out of your donut is what you don't want to happen.
- 30:48If you want any collaboration on that, imagine your spine as being a
- 30:52stack of donuts. Yeah yeah, so and figure it out from that.
- 30:56And I'm pretty sure somewhere down through the years we've talked about our own jellies
- 31:00jumping out jelly for the American listeners. I don't know why you call it
- 31:03jelly. Jelly's not that, but anyway not jam. So you don't want
- 31:07the jam. If you go to your boss and go, excuse me,
- 31:10the jam has come out im, don't I'm incredibly sore. He can turn
- 31:12around and go like, well, I don't know why you have a sore
- 31:15back. I paid money to put you on a manual handling course, and
- 31:19the instructor clearly showed you how to lift the box, and you demonstrated that
- 31:23you understood what it was. So take your claim elsewhere. Yes, that's
- 31:27it. That's the long and the short of it. So yeah, that's
- 31:32that's exactly what my seven Jerry are telling you. If you've never done a
- 31:34manual handling course, chances are you will never need one. Now, just
- 31:40stay away from lifting anything. That's all I'm gonna say. If you,
- 31:45particularly newly elected members to the European Parliament who were upwards of thirteen stone,
- 31:52and you look like something to Crowchett in the family, what would be your
- 31:59celebration If they said, all right, jer my celebration will be turning left
- 32:02and right to those of REMI and saying leave me the fu. I think
- 32:07I if I thought it was upcoming, I think i'd take some breakdown,
- 32:09some classes because I'm on a parking floor. J hit him with a Spinnerroonie.
- 32:14I just hit him with the spinner ronie. I think I'd put on
- 32:16a hoodie and all of a sudden, I'm like, you know that be
- 32:19you know that that that you know that kind of that that bit kind of
- 32:22walk around the floor that they do first, like I do one of those
- 32:25over my suit. I'd pull on a hoodie, put up the hoodie and
- 32:29pull on my pair of you know what, actually, do you know what
- 32:31time you've given me an idea? You know what? I would go up
- 32:35on shoulders. I absolutely would go up on shoulders, and when they dropped
- 32:38me back down, I'd be like, yep, someone help me, Someone
- 32:44help me? And then I do I put a count over your shoulder,
- 32:47like when are you going to get a chance? Not even again? An
- 32:57Irish flag the drip an Irish flag over ah. That's the problem we see
- 33:04it is there's I think, if you want to stand, we'll teach you
- 33:07how to be a politician another day. But I think if you want to
- 33:09stand out every so use those little moments, just those little moments, these
- 33:13little moments like that. Just don't lift anything. I would suggest ever,
- 33:17if you haven't done now, don't bother. Start, don't bother. But
- 33:22that's good advice any rate. That's those lads, Tom, you know what
- 33:24I mean, And plenty of those lads. And last he's got elected,
- 33:28don't you know, over the last week, and as we speak, they
- 33:30are still being elected. And we wish them all the best in the future
- 33:34endeavors. Don't mess this up, guys, because a lot of eyes on
- 33:37you now at this stage. But that's those lads, and we've talked about
- 33:42them. But every now and then there's you know, one particular lad who
- 33:45shines out above all the rest of them. Okay, And when we're talking
- 33:50about that lad, we don't say, oh yeah, there's that lad.
- 33:52We say and there's this lad. Now there's that guy. This week's this
- 34:00is era to be fair to him. He's probably a long time coming to
- 34:05the Toma Jerry Show in some which way shape, for he is due to
- 34:08get to the Tom and Jerry Show in all fairness, And as soon as
- 34:12I messaged you, you were like I knew it. I didn't even have
- 34:14to if I turned up to surprise yet you'd go, yeah, probably one
- 34:21of the just the longest running guys that you just can't have a you can
- 34:25not have a smile. And when you think of Dick van Dyke, for
- 34:29so many reasons, Van Dyke a name that would never get through the Actor's
- 34:34Guild in today's in today's field, never not a hope if you turned up
- 34:40with the name Dick van Dyke jer to the Actors Guild because you know,
- 34:43they got to change their names every so often, like they're you know,
- 34:45Jerry McBride. Sorry, there's three, Jeremy Bride's. One is in Missouri,
- 34:49ones in Canada, and you gotta be You're like, okay, I'll
- 34:52take my mother's maiden name. No, you know, give me my dogs
- 34:54and my mother's maiden name, Zippy McFarland, you know, And all of
- 35:00a sudden, people in ten years time gets shocked to find out that you're
- 35:02actually called Jerry McBride. Well, he's actually close enough to Dick Van Dyke,
- 35:07I think, isn't he know he is rich he is born Richard van
- 35:10Dyke. But as you say yourself, when he rocked up for his first
- 35:13audition and they said, okay, what's your name? And he's like Dick,
- 35:15and I was like, okay, the rest of this better carry it.
- 35:21Okay, well, all right, what's your second name? But it's
- 35:25we call it a surname Van Dyke. There you go. There's gonna be
- 35:30just gonna be a deep breath in the room, like when you Dick Van
- 35:35well, my god as well, Dick Van Dyke's real name is Dick Van
- 35:37Dyke, Like wow, you know, okay, I would have thought that
- 35:39was a stage name. Not going to derail it, not gonna nerd this
- 35:42night, be here. But you know what, Billy Crystal's real name is,
- 35:45go on, Billy Crystal. He was just born Billy Crystal. What
- 35:50the hell else was he not going to be other than a star? Same
- 35:52with Tyson Fury, Like Tyson Fury wasn't going to be radio DJ. The
- 35:57only thing I will say about maybe Billy Crystal, maybe Dick Fan Dyke,
- 36:00We're always destined to be that. But literally, like, was Tyson Fury
- 36:02ever going to be anything but Tyson Fury? You know what I mean.
- 36:07I'm a fighting man. I'll come over them I'll fight you. I'll fight
- 36:13Yourjova, I'll fight your washing me Jane a bloody. I'm a fighting man,
- 36:16and I do a respect to fighting man. He's a godfear in fighting
- 36:20man. But there you go. I because when I heard Tyson, because
- 36:24that's like a wrestler's name right there. I know, a wrestling heavy this
- 36:28particular episode, Tom, that's like a wrestler's name, Tyson Fury, Like
- 36:30you made that up for the marquee no born, mister and missus Fury a
- 36:35son Tyson. Yeah, anyway, we're getting away from it. Why is
- 36:37Dick van Dyke this week's this guy? Because Dick Van Dyke is ninety eight
- 36:42years old. Not just that, but he's the oldest Emmy winner, Yes
- 36:47for his guest appearance. And I more than anything, I can't believe that
- 36:52this is still on the Goal, the daytime long long running show of Days
- 36:59of Our Lives. He got an Emmy for a guest appearance on like he's
- 37:02still making a pit like you know he turns up to any set you're gonna
- 37:07go, that's Stick van Dykelan, it's Stick van Dyke because I know he
- 37:12was in the They made a new Mary Poppins a couple of years ago and
- 37:16he showed up as a little cameo role. I refuse to watch it,
- 37:20and we had no interest in the house either. But I knew he was
- 37:22ninety eight, and I read it before I saw it, and it was
- 37:25like, ninety eight year old Dick Van Dyke shows up at the red carpet
- 37:29of the Emmy's and I'm like, oh God, love him. Like the
- 37:30Wheel the Morning and Iron Long or something, you know, yeah, like
- 37:34this is going to be sad, and he's shocking and jiving and just the
- 37:37thing he turns the fucking worm on the red carpet. It's the I'll tell
- 37:42you one thing I want to see Dick Van Dyke win an election, because
- 37:45that man is gonna start moon walking across the fucking dance floor of some West
- 37:51Limerick basketball court. Like I'm not like, I love the guy. He
- 37:55shows up the things and it's like, well, Vick Van Dyke. He's
- 37:59like, oh, are you think I'm old, dear, And all of
- 38:00a sudden he starts breakdancing and ship. It's like Jesus Christ. Dick Van
- 38:04Dyke. He is one of the last surviving members of like the Old Hollywood
- 38:08sect. We do this like every year or whenever we're watching It's a Wonderful
- 38:12Life, Yes, yeah, yeah, or like, is there is there
- 38:15any of the cast of It's a Wonderful Life left alive? Absolutely not.
- 38:20I think one of the one of George Bailey's kids, like Zuzu with Our
- 38:24Petals is like ninety six or something like that, like this, like we're
- 38:30down to that. After that, everybody's dead. Kirk Douglas is dead.
- 38:34That he got to one hundred, very white, ninety nine. And then
- 38:37you turn around with Dick van Dyke. Surely, no, there he is.
- 38:39There's Dick van Dyke, not a bother on him. It would have
- 38:43fine head of hair, fine beard. He's He has looked the same,
- 38:47like pretty much the same bar as long as I can, Like I remember
- 38:52seeing him like in The Golden Girls turning up as can you get us?
- 38:57Can you remember his character's name of the Golden Girl? No, doctor Harry
- 39:00West? Oh yeah? How how how? Because somewhere deep inside me,
- 39:07I absolutely love Dick lan Dyke. He's class. He's just class, and
- 39:10even even owl for hanging around with owl ones And I was only a gust
- 39:16and the young fella. Yeah, forty years ago. And I remember then
- 39:19seeing him and you're watching because obviously Bang Bang and Mary Poppins was an outnow
- 39:23time because it's like a sixties or seven seventies movies or whatever, and he
- 39:27goes, oh, there's a young dick Lan Dyke who's still do you know
- 39:30he didn't make his communion doing that either. He was a bloke in that.
- 39:34Yeah, a grown ass man, Jesus. What I remember him from
- 39:37was in the mid nineties, I would say into the early two thousands.
- 39:40He had a long standing TV role on a TV show called Diagnosis Murder.
- 39:46Yes, and because he had his his TV he has thatsh It was always
- 39:51always a bit of a Sean Connry Diagnoses Murderer. Yeah, And like even
- 39:54at that he was like an old man. He was an old gray haired
- 39:59man party years ago and now you come to find out, Yeah, well
- 40:00he would have been sixty five. God damn, that's an old ass man,
- 40:05right, he's sixty five. And if you remember in Diagnosis Murder,
- 40:10the second lead was played by his son. Yes, his name was like
- 40:15Barry Van Dyke or something yeah, like this right, and he couldn't act
- 40:19worth a damn. But you could clearly see that he had like the Dick
- 40:21Van Dyke jeans. He was like a handsome enough sort of dude, and
- 40:24he was like barrel chested in that nineties American kind of way. And I
- 40:29was like, okay, so after diagnosis murder one, dad's not on the
- 40:31executive producer credits. What else are you gonna do? Barry van Dyke?
- 40:35All right? Nothing' Well he doesn't have to. It's Barry van Dyke.
- 40:38He's he's got that. He's got that diagnosis murder. Money coming in.
- 40:44You said, Dick van Dyke is ninety eight years of page. What would
- 40:45you ascribe that to? Tom? Because I know what I ascribe it to
- 40:50a lifetime of not giving a fall. No, I tell you one thing,
- 40:52because we're only talking myself and l we're talking about the cork Douglas recently
- 40:58enough. It's ferbinating me. You know he's gone a long time. I
- 41:01spu he was going a long time. Of course, he was going a
- 41:05long time. If you don't care about things like the price of ESB going
- 41:10on, do you know what I mean? If you don't give a bollix
- 41:15that your man next door is spread and slurry. If you don't give a
- 41:19shite that the traffic leg is broken. It broke out in the oak and
- 41:21you've got to sit in track. That is an accumulative amount of stress that
- 41:25pours down on top of a man over years, and we'll just drive you
- 41:30into what is seemingly an early grave. We had the potential to live to
- 41:32over one hundreds. Of course, Kirk Douglas and Dick Van Dyke are first
- 41:37of all, they've both got really cool names, do you know, and
- 41:42you're just everywhere you imagine j everywhere you walk in. It's not that oh
- 41:46my god, you know ed sheeran vibe when we walk into a room,
- 41:52but where there's hysteria and really it's only you know, the girls in the
- 41:55room. Everybody when Dick van Dyke walks on the set is gone. Clay
- 42:01Clay the Dick van Dyke story that I always go back to, and I
- 42:07had to look it up because in my mind, I'm like, well,
- 42:09he was an old man, so it must have only been a couple of
- 42:12years ago. But no, it was nearly fifteen years ago and he was
- 42:15still an old man. He was still like in his mid eighties. He
- 42:20fell asleep on a surfboard into ten. Do you remember this? I have
- 42:28a vague memory of this. Did he almost die? No, he fell
- 42:31asleep on a surfboard and got carried out to the to the ocean. Okay,
- 42:37Well, if anybody wants to go to last week's episode, you can
- 42:38tell what I think of that scenario. All right. So, and number
- 42:43one part of me thinks that would have been a wonderful death for Dick van
- 42:47Dyke, like the mystery of Dick Van Dyke? Where did he get?
- 42:52Like he would have never been found again? Only maybe like he would have
- 42:55been swept out to sea, and only if you know, like, hey,
- 42:58where's Dick van Dyke? Where do you see him? Las? He's
- 43:00on a surfboard there he look kind of sleepy. H he was trying to
- 43:05clean some chimney potts. He's gone to clean the chimney pots in heaven.
- 43:08That's where he's gone. You did never know whatever happened to him, and
- 43:12you'd be like, you know, what do you call that? What do
- 43:13you call your man? That singer and the Jeff Buckley or some such Okay
- 43:16that died? Yes, hell yeah, didn't he like coastwimming or fall off
- 43:23a boat or something, and yeah it was a mysterious one, all right,
- 43:28but they reckoned. He's living on an island with Elvis and I'm getting
- 43:30I'm all over the place. This shows a research that we don't know.
- 43:34Everybody knows what happened to Jeff Buckley. It was the lead singer of the
- 43:37Manic Street Preachers, not the one we know, but the byby for him.
- 43:40He vanished and was never found again. And it was water related,
- 43:44but he felt whatever maybe or something. I digress, Tom, did you're
- 43:50really kneeling on the water related to you know? What happened to one of
- 43:55these people? Let us know in the comments, right, But they found
- 43:59that I fell asleep on a surfboard and got carried out to sea and made
- 44:04it back to shore no small feet, Like he was carried fuck out to
- 44:09see right international waters And how he got back into land was a shoal of
- 44:20dolphins came around him and coaxed him back to the sea. Now we only
- 44:27have Dick Van Dyke's word for this, right, Yeah, but apparently this
- 44:31is a thing that happens, like surfers will go out and dolphins will will
- 44:37come around them and they won't like bash them and bring them down to the
- 44:40murky depth. The dolphins will help you get back to the sea or at
- 44:44least the still sort of like, and they'll swim towards you know what they're
- 44:46doing at you know which way to head or which way to paddle? Do
- 44:50you know what they're doing here? They're gone? What are you doing here?
- 44:52What are you doing? This is you know, business is in this
- 44:55place. This is for Dick van Dyke. I wonder where they like cartoon
- 45:00animated dolphins, like in the like in Mary Poppins. You know, it
- 45:07just started just jumping around. Before he knew it. He was up on
- 45:09the sort of board tap dancing gone, just a stone fall of sugar god
- 45:15hollow Mary pop Pins, just absolutely tripping balls. I guarantee you, because
- 45:22you know for a fact, a fellow like him, who doesn't give a
- 45:24ship, he's turning up tap dancing at funerals. He I saw him do
- 45:30the worm and a lad stag because he was having dinner. They went up
- 45:32to him. It was somebody video that he was in a restaurant and he
- 45:36had gone up to the bar to pay and they were like, oh my
- 45:37god, it's Dick van Dyke. Can we get a photographer, I'll do
- 45:38even one better. And he just starts dancing for him. Yeah, before
- 45:44you know it, he's down doing the worm across a broken glass floor.
- 45:45I guarantee you that fella has dropped a fair bit of acid in his time.
- 45:51I guarantee you nothing as well that brings me, that brings me to
- 45:53the next Stick Van Dyke story. Let's hang in this is this is like
- 45:57ten or twelve years ago that that that dolphins story. Keep an eye out
- 46:00for that. Like surfers and you know, all these dudes will tell you
- 46:07that dolphins will show up to your surfboard and they will not try and drag
- 46:10you down to the waters. They will While we're on a nostalgic by Bear,
- 46:16can I can you please confirm my thoughts in my head? Do you
- 46:21remember there was a whole period of the eighties where there was TV shows of
- 46:23a little boy who would have a wild animal friend, i e. As
- 46:29Skippy, a flipper and gentle gentle Ben a giant bear by the way,
- 46:34a bear? Yeah, yeah, okay. Did they call Flipper by sticking
- 46:38some sort of a ruga hooter in the in the water, or did I
- 46:42dream that. No, I wasn't a big flipper fan. I do know
- 46:45that they call skipy with a oh no people skiping with the grass that piece
- 46:52of Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how they call the bear other than
- 46:58just going bear if the listeners could confirm that for me, because I have
- 47:02tried to look for that. And also I do have the kid that played
- 47:07in gentle Bet and the Boy that he ended up being one of the guys
- 47:09that was in He was the big fan of the mud dogs in Waterboy.
- 47:13You'll see loads of things turning up being the kind of wild redneck, but
- 47:15he just went from and door the kid anyway. Sorry, going back Dick
- 47:20van after the Dolphin story. The dolphin story, Okay, this is my
- 47:24last Dick Van Dyke story. Ah a fair play drum as well. Ah
- 47:29yeah, Jesus alive at time of recording. All Right, I know what's
- 47:34gonna happen the next two days. Okay, I don't want to. I
- 47:37don't want to put that hurt and Dick Van Dyke, but I hope he
- 47:38makes it. Look out of the election. Stay out of the elections.
- 47:43Don't get to bring it, don't win a seat in double inside your hips
- 47:45cannot take it, buddy, Dick Vandyke would People were driving along the freeway
- 47:51in Los Angeles one day and see a car on the side of the road
- 47:53and it's on fire, like all of it from front to back, and
- 48:00they're like, god damn. You know how Americans are all over And there
- 48:04is video for this, I'm I get it and post on the socials.
- 48:08And they get up to it and they look inside and they're a man in
- 48:12it and they're like, oh my good lord. And they opened the door.
- 48:15That's just Dick fan like sitting in a like not a car with smoke
- 48:20coming out of the engine, like a fully engulfed in flames car, okay,
- 48:24And they're like, do you know your car's on fire. He's like,
- 48:27yeah, I was just thinking about my next move here steaming. Surely
- 48:31he was steaming, was he no? Yeah, he's he is. Yeah,
- 48:35he's like a hot man. You know, the way they say,
- 48:37don't leave dogs in hot cars. Also, don't leave ninety one year olds,
- 48:40don't leave dick Dick ven don't leave your dick in a car, right,
- 48:45they said, you out in the California. He what, but he
- 48:47must be wasted? Was he like what well, nobody printed that, but
- 48:52yes, absolutely he was out for a drive and the car over heated,
- 48:58and he pulled over on the side of the road, and the car subsequently
- 49:01overheated a lot more tom to the point where it portioned into flames. And
- 49:06Dick Van Dyke's theory was, yes, the car is completely on fire,
- 49:10but the inside isn't. Yeah, said the lobster to the pot. It's
- 49:17not fire in here. In fact, we water in here, will be
- 49:22fine, will be grand. And and they were like, you know,
- 49:23eventually that class is gonna melt, Dick and come busting into it, So
- 49:27could you please, sir, step away from these guys are like holding up
- 49:30their coats and ship like this, like to not go on fire themselves.
- 49:35And He's just like, sounds like they're making a lot of fuss about nothing,
- 49:37but okay, yeah, I suppose we'll get out of the car if
- 49:39it comes to it. And then he's to be like he came out and
- 49:42he's all black, and they're like, oh, it really is Dick fan.
- 49:46But it sounds too like that if Dick got in direct contact with a
- 49:50flame. Because I have a funny feeling Dick was on the sauce. He
- 49:52was on the road over that felt he was looking for ause party. That's
- 49:57what they would looking for. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they
- 49:59dropped. I love that he was driving a car that would be inclined to
- 50:04overheat, do you know what I mean? It was probably an old Buick
- 50:07like or so you know what I mean, Like, sure, a lot
- 50:10of your electric cars nowadays, you know they're not too hectic in the in
- 50:14the Californian heater party. But chances are he was driving the OK with proper
- 50:17carburettor proper you know, a proper car, like you know, a big
- 50:22old link like yeah, big Lincoln or yeah, i'd love that, like
- 50:28a fifteen foot long car. Just that's Dick van Dyke fourteen and a half?
- 50:32What of an on fire? Yes? Did you? This isn't his
- 50:37first award and he's never he's never knocked it out of the departt He's like,
- 50:42which I love about him. He's not. I'd say, I'd love
- 50:45to know. There's much on him and what he did. I'd say he
- 50:46played a lot of a lot of uh golfing, just partied a lot.
- 50:52He I love he got he got things like outstanding Guest Actor in a comedy
- 50:57series, like Outstanding Guest Actor. That's the the ledgebag who turns up to
- 51:00the party, isn't it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's just
- 51:02like, hey, Dick, you want to come around here and beyond Daisy
- 51:06Lives for an hour and a half. Yeah, go ahead. That was
- 51:08his latest one, is that one from Days and Lives back in all the
- 51:12way back to nineteen ninety, which is a nice shout. You haven't heard
- 51:14that in thirty eight thirty four years, and they go, do you wanna
- 51:16you want to jump in here? He got Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Variety
- 51:21for his own show at the Dick van Dyke in Company. He got another
- 51:23one Outstanding for The Dick van Dyke. He got Outstanding Writing again would believe
- 51:28for The Dick van Dyke, which is but he got Best Lead Actor in
- 51:31a Drama the Morning after Wednesday Movie of the Week. I mean, I
- 51:40love that. I fucking love that. I love that he's not crushing it
- 51:46because you know, and he got a bunch more outstandings for turning up to
- 51:50different things, mostly his own show and whatnot. But I love that everybody
- 51:54knows who he is. Everybody recognizes him immediately. He's still relevant, but
- 52:00without being a pure like he's not dying for your love, Like do you
- 52:05know what I mean? He's rocking up. He's rocking up the days of
- 52:07our lives because he's like every He probably has his own car parking space at
- 52:10the NBC studios, you know that. Yeah, people park far away from
- 52:15because know the car is going to go on fire. But I love Dick
- 52:17Van Dyke. He is not he's not a try hard bastard, but he
- 52:21can still pull off moves. And that's what I attribute his longevity is not,
- 52:27as you said, not giving abolis. Yeah he's sitting in the burning
- 52:30car. This guy's rocking up to TV shows. He's dancing. Still,
- 52:34he's dancing, and it's not cringe. It's like, yeah, that's Grandpa
- 52:38Dick. He's just out there just living his Literally, that guy, since
- 52:43day dot has just lived his best life. And that's what makes him this
- 52:46week's this is fair play, mister Dick van Dyke. We wish you another
- 52:50ninety eight years. Legend of life. No arguments on that regard to Tom.
- 52:55No fights, no falling out, nothing. I don't see why we
- 53:00could possibly fall out about the good. No no, indeed anything. What
- 53:05the hell would we have to give out about it? Right? Right enough?
- 53:07But there's always going to be a few things jair. Oh yeah,
- 53:09they can't be running out of that. I can't can't run out of here,
- 53:14I feel without having a round because I'm feeling manly now these days and
- 53:19not hyper aggressive, but at the same time, I like to have an
- 53:21all set to with you don't stop and I don't know where you're standing up,
- 53:30but I have a funny feeling that we're going to we are going to
- 53:31be at a crossroads with this one. But when it comes to like like
- 53:35that, I said, I love Dick Van Di it's the notion that his
- 53:37car probably overheated, you know what I mean. I love that. I
- 53:40love that people don't break down with an overheating radiator in their car anymore.
- 53:45And I love old school stuff because that's christy. You know what your dealer
- 53:49without when you have it. And that's where it comes to the likes of
- 53:52technology. I got a present very recently. It was an early housewarming present
- 53:59and it was given to us by a friend of our suit's in Switzerland.
- 54:01Loves all sorts of things like he's literally intake in Switzerland, and he loves
- 54:07and he's ought to be a glovely thing to send us a an Alexa,
- 54:13right, and it stayed in the box. And mother's birthday came around not
- 54:20too long after that, and wishll what what is the thing we've all gotten
- 54:23really good at regifting? Is what happened there? Because Alexa and her kind
- 54:31will never darken the man in the doorway. Everything not a fit, not
- 54:36a hope, not a prayer. Well, I'm I'm marginally on the other
- 54:42side of that argument. Belts and whistles hanging off you. You have more
- 54:47stuff around the place, no doubt. Well, I'm sure making your life
- 54:52easy, no doubt. You're probably right. In the long run, you're
- 54:54probably going to live as long as Dick van Dyke by making allowing technolology in
- 55:00your life to just soften the blow of you know, the the absolute mire
- 55:07thatw we find ourselves in these days. I gotta tell you, I don't
- 55:09have an Alex in the house. Who have you got? I've got some
- 55:14Alexa in every room of the house. There are six Alexes in this No
- 55:19that's not yeah, there is well does she not? Does she not hear
- 55:22yet? Oh McBride's house is a big house. By the way, it's
- 55:25not it's not even that. It's not even that. It's just we got
- 55:29one for the kitchen and it worked out so well. I was like,
- 55:31oh, like, I'll get one for the I'll get one for the bedroom,
- 55:35so and one can talk to the other. It's like an intercomedy of
- 55:37you know, I mean you can shout down the stairs. We handy you
- 55:40what. There was a notion back in the before times that we were going
- 55:44to be civilized, and we were like, Alexa, can you drop in
- 55:45at the kitchen? Yeah, one second, drop in Jesus Christ, right,
- 55:50And then the children, you know, wanted one, so they got
- 55:52one a piece of the rooms just for playing songs and things like this,
- 55:54and then the one that was in the kitchen we replaced that with. So
- 55:57yeah, yeah, maybe about five the house. They're all right. We
- 56:00got them on the cheap. Now these are and they were were this Alexis
- 56:08you know, they were like the previous you know, the way if you
- 56:13buy the latest iPhone, it's real dear, but the generation before it is
- 56:15real cheap. So these are generation Lex's kind of thing. What you gotta
- 56:22don't think. I don't think I paid more than twenty euro for one of
- 56:24them or that kind of money. Are they that kind of money? Apparently
- 56:29this has bells and whistles. Apparently apparently your Swiss friend isn't doing as well
- 56:32acause you might have thought, you know what, I'd say, I have
- 56:36a funny feeling I got really gifted the pile of ships. Anyway, it
- 56:37is the mother, the mother. But then she shit like that, do
- 56:44you know what I mean? She loves take Okay, well look at it.
- 56:45Look at it like this. Okay, we're not going to have a
- 56:47route, but look at it like this. If I told you i'd like
- 56:51I had five Alexs in the house, you'd be like, you're a mad
- 56:52pass right, But if I told you that I have five voice activated radios
- 56:58in my house, now, that doesn't sound so bad, right, because
- 57:00that's predominantly what we use it for. Alexa play the radio, right,
- 57:06That's as simple as that is. But at the same time, you know
- 57:09the story with alexis, don't you how they can map your entire house?
- 57:15Now, map your every movement. Do you know what I'm gonna tell you,
- 57:22I Alexa is not going to learn anything about me that I wouldn't freely
- 57:27tell the internet or indeed freely tell the listeners of a certain podcast I do
- 57:34with another Alexa hayden Man at the same time. Listen, you've stubbed your
- 57:39toe, right, You've walked around the house. You know, the family's
- 57:44gone out to whatever, swim practice or you know whatever they you know,
- 57:47track meet whatever the kids do nowadays. Oh yeah, I know they do
- 57:52track meets all the time. Time. Yeah. And at some point you're
- 57:55gonna go, like, at the top of your voice, you're gonna with
- 58:00some of the most like high end abuse of stuff at whatever you just dubbed
- 58:06your toet like you're gonna the mother you absolutely rotten dirky. But I should
- 58:12chop you up in the tiny and pieces. Do you know what you as
- 58:16a as a sofa You shouldn't. You should have never come into it.
- 58:21Now you will use enough stuff that with a little bit of editing, could
- 58:25absolutely put you through the ring or in any court adjust in any court of
- 58:30law. So you're telling me Tom that you know Alexi will come back and
- 58:35it'll be saying you big van Dye, I hate you. I am going
- 58:39to chop you up. What you are these garden gloves, I'm gonna use
- 58:46building gloves, the orange ones with the gray back to them. They are
- 58:52loads from this episode alone. They are load, and they're gone for you.
- 58:55McBride. I'm telling you, and you are handed on the credit card
- 58:59to buy the bullets. I'm telling me, Dick, I'm going to put
- 59:01you in the doomsday device. You know what? Yeah, Tom put I'll
- 59:06be honest with you. I don't care. And they could probably do that
- 59:10with what they're tracking you through your phone anyway on a phone call, Hello,
- 59:15how are you? How do you find people doing? Yes, indeed,
- 59:16I do hate Dick van Dyke. I am going to hit them win
- 59:19an F five. Well, okay, truth be told. I don't I
- 59:22don't care what I mean. Jesus Christ, we are you know what I
- 59:25mean. We put ourselves out to the world regards anyway. But at the
- 59:29same time, would you miss one? Now if it went out like a
- 59:31broke, would you got? Geez? I must get I will say I
- 59:35unplugged. I unplugged the one upstairs. I think we were going awigh on
- 59:38all this, or we're going to wait for a couple of days and I
- 59:40tend to plug everort now and I haven't plugged that back in, and I
- 59:44don't miss that. The kids have won in the room apiece and that plays
- 59:46them like music at night and they listen to the Beatles or whatever it is
- 59:52and it sends them off to sleep. I would miss those and the kids
- 59:54will be like, hey, come back, come my Lef's is not answering.
- 59:57And I would miss the one in the kitchen, because that is the
- 1:00:00one in the kitchen is like the hub of the house. You can tell
- 1:00:04that, bitch, and you can be like, hey, Alexa, add
- 1:00:06sausages to the shopping list, or Hey Alex, what's the weather gonna be?
- 1:00:09Orlex a place on Shine one six point eight, or hey Alexa,
- 1:00:12tune into the Tomb and Jerry podcast. I tell you listen to me and
- 1:00:16Tom talk this father all Ah, do you know what though? I mean,
- 1:00:22I hear you and now the rest. But I have enough on my
- 1:00:25plate. This is what I'm trying to do. I've no doubt right they
- 1:00:29are handed the Owen loves it for the shopping list, Jesus does. She
- 1:00:32loves it for the radio, very choice for the shopping list. But here's
- 1:00:37the thing. I've said this many times to before. I can't. I
- 1:00:40can't let it in, not because I don't. I think foil hacking this
- 1:00:45and she's mapping me around the house. I can't lead that level of luxury
- 1:00:50into my life, Jare, because that's the slippery slope for me. I
- 1:00:53know, I know you're going, Tom, It's not that much I have
- 1:00:57to It's not that much luxury, Tom. I mean, like y all
- 1:00:59we're talking about. It is not turning a radium dove. I need.
- 1:01:01I need a scrap of paper and handwritten things going down to Aldi. I
- 1:01:07cannot. I can't because before you know nature, I'm going to have computer
- 1:01:14driven what's it's? Do you know? Before you know what, I'm just
- 1:01:19going to just end up in an absolute lunatic scenario with everything electrified around me.
- 1:01:24I'll have pure anxiety about things not being charged, not being plugged in.
- 1:01:28Is that you're going to blow up with that? With that flyer?
- 1:01:30Have we got to back up for that thing? What if we I can't
- 1:01:32allow myself to be reliant on that's fair enough technological. It's not a phobia
- 1:01:39of it. It's that I know if I because I've let things into the
- 1:01:43past like tonics, chocolate, bars. I have an addiction problem to those
- 1:01:47things. I let them into my life when I was in Scotland for a
- 1:01:51month and now intravenously. I would take those things if you let me at
- 1:01:55them, I would eat them through the packet, A little bread and gold
- 1:01:58foil sole and the likes of these things. This was somebody who's trying to
- 1:02:01justify an electric carcter me one day now completely and practical out in the country
- 1:02:06side, because you need the thing to do a range, and it sounded
- 1:02:07great, Oh you just put your foot down, you don't it just I'm
- 1:02:12like no, because now I'm going to worry about that. Have I put
- 1:02:15enough of the electricity? Have I poured it? So? I can't here?
- 1:02:21And I certainly can't. I tell you something. I can't have another
- 1:02:24voice. I get bothered by voices, and I can't can't. I can't
- 1:02:30have a voice, gone giving me back chat of any sort, correcting me
- 1:02:37on something I asked the mothers one, I said, asked a fact about
- 1:02:42something or other than She went, hm hmm, let me look for that
- 1:02:45on Wikipedia. I'm like, no, no, no, no, I
- 1:02:47don't want to hear what you find on Wikipedia. In fact, I can
- 1:02:51go look at Wikipedia, you lazy cow. Tell me straight off the bat
- 1:02:54or you're going through the wall like that's not yours. I went, okay,
- 1:02:58Branton, I'm walking out of the house. It's the voice. I
- 1:03:00can I will say I can't. I will say if one would be abracus,
- 1:03:05I could maybe maybe get my head around it. I will concede this
- 1:03:08one point, Tom that when you ask Alexa, or if it's Google Home
- 1:03:15or Serio or whatever the hell it is, that you're using yourself if you
- 1:03:17when you ask them a very simple thing and they go hmm, I didn't
- 1:03:22quite get that. That does put the blood up. I will say,
- 1:03:24yeah, what what did I buy you for? What did I buy you
- 1:03:27for? And I didn't ask you to do that? I haven't asked you
- 1:03:30a place on Shine one or six point eight play the Tama Jerry show,
- 1:03:31like I'm not asking you something strange. I only ever asked you to do
- 1:03:35four things. And why is it today you don't get me. It makes
- 1:03:37me so angry. I want to kill Dick Van Dyke to be fair,
- 1:03:39Jerry. And this is why I'm putting a pain in the technology side of
- 1:03:44things. Zoom, which we're talking over right now. It's added. It
- 1:03:46keeps on adding bills and whistles. Why don't you try and you pop up?
- 1:03:50I'm like ever and there's a new thing now of captions and went.
- 1:03:54This will be handy for the clips. It will put up well played captions
- 1:03:58in real time. Jesus Christ, Jerry, I tried it before you came
- 1:04:01on the layir there, you know what, let's just for the crack.
- 1:04:03I'll put one up and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. This is
- 1:04:06gonna be crystal clear now just a spin, of course, of course it
- 1:04:10will. Of course I'm all over the place here and maybe it's a I
- 1:04:14did. Oh my god, it did, oh Jesus Christ. Okay,
- 1:04:18well, okay, I've got nothing coming up my side, have you not?
- 1:04:21Okay, you can radio, by the way, you can click it
- 1:04:24on yours. Right. It's literally nailing everything I'm saying right now. Maybe
- 1:04:28I'm getting clearer, but this will piss you off. Welcome to the Tom
- 1:04:31and Jerry Show. Yeah, I mean it's spelling my name with a jane
- 1:04:36not a G. But other than that's it. No complaints. No,
- 1:04:40that's what It drew me down and was like, oh you could You couldn't
- 1:04:43even pick up on the fact that the guy called Jerry McBride, who's dialed
- 1:04:45into this call, who with his name written in the corner, you can't
- 1:04:49see it? No, that, No, that tells me that. Let
- 1:04:55me think about that. How about you if gross area, don't the bastard
- 1:05:00and go down the shop and pick it up for me. How about you
- 1:05:01do that? How about you think about it in the black bin. No,
- 1:05:05and it doesn't look loads my eyes that we're going to convert you on
- 1:05:09this one. Tom, Listen, I love high tech chair. I discovered
- 1:05:14the most beautiful thing in the world of the latest. Now they've been around
- 1:05:16a while, but they've gotten really good concrete screws. That's all I'm going
- 1:05:20to say. People, you find yourself a good concrete screw, and that
- 1:05:24would change that concrete screw. You will never again look at the roll plug.
- 1:05:28I have door frames to put up chair, and I was having sleepless
- 1:05:30nights as to how it's going to make a nice clean impact into these ridiculous
- 1:05:34hard blocks that are in this house. They're twenty five Newton blocks. For
- 1:05:36whatever reason, this man I tried to concrete screw into the other day with
- 1:05:42a little six mili minute before it. Now, I use the Milwaukee bit
- 1:05:45because I made my Maade appointed by a good bit Jesus, So I went
- 1:05:51like a digestive biscuit. Oh, just amazing, it's amazing. Tom.
- 1:05:56All you do is you drill that we eight mel hole and then you come
- 1:06:00with the posy bit and you drive the conference crew. That's it. That's
- 1:06:03it. Snaped you nerd snaped with the eight mil I saw it kind of.
