- 1:06Speaker 3: You got that, and you got that. It was it
- 1:07Speaker 3: was a Rugby jerseys. It's clean, that was what it was.
- 1:10Speaker 3: And I don't want to wear I've just been strimming
- 1:13Speaker 3: and I'll tell you something. Horseflies are one thing. You're
- 1:16Speaker 3: just walking around her, then it's dandering around the place.
- 1:18Speaker 3: But if you have strimmed the living ship at a
- 1:21Speaker 3: Horsefli's house, which I'm assuming I did.
- 1:24Speaker 2: If you if you enacted a terrible terrorist strike on
- 1:28Speaker 2: horse fly central.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Oh man, this was this, there would be a thousand
- 1:33Speaker 3: years of pain come on my way. I don't know.
- 1:36Speaker 3: I thought I kept on, thought it was getting hit
- 1:37Speaker 3: by sticks from the strimmer. No, just horseflies with knives
- 1:41Speaker 3: stabbing me in the backs of my legs. You've never
- 1:44Speaker 3: seen the like of these, absolutely fucking scumbags of yolks.
- 1:47Speaker 3: No good can come from a horsefly.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You know. We're all for pollination, tom, and we're all
- 1:52Speaker 2: for like bumblebees. And if you see a bee on
- 1:55Speaker 2: the on the ground, try and not smash it, try
- 1:57Speaker 2: and lift it and give it a we drink. If
- 1:58Speaker 2: monster energy drinkers, well, I don't know exactly what to do.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Maybe don't give monster energy drink to bees flies, horse
- 2:07Speaker 2: flies like the ones you're talking about. I don't know
- 2:10Speaker 2: they're all going to make it to them.
- 2:11Speaker 3: But even I saw a fellow the other even going
- 2:13Speaker 3: like Noah, you know if you're a believer. And then
- 2:15Speaker 3: the story of Noah and the flood, giraffes, donkeys, and
- 2:19Speaker 3: then the horse flies come, You're like, what have you
- 2:21Speaker 3: got that? Oh? You just bite everything.
- 2:24Speaker 2: I would just bite people.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I'm sure some smart person will
- 2:30Speaker 3: tell me exactly what their role is in society. But
- 2:33Speaker 3: all I know is that the fuckers hate me on
- 2:35Speaker 3: my own property, and I'm happy to live in conjunction
- 2:38Speaker 3: with them, as I am with the badgers, the boats,
- 2:42Speaker 3: the goats. Well, I brought them into the situation that
- 2:45Speaker 3: the pine martins, the fucking deer. I can get on
- 2:47Speaker 3: with everybody, but them horseflies. They're real fucking antagonists, is
- 2:51Speaker 3: what they are. Now. At this stage journey, it is
- 2:53Speaker 3: me or them, And I don't see myself going anywhere
- 2:56Speaker 3: in the.
- 2:57Speaker 2: No no no. I streamed not and was was impacted
- 3:01Speaker 2: by nobody. But the flying ants were out of their way.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Yeah, once a year, it's actually, you know, quite noble
- 3:07Speaker 2: to see it, Tom, But once a year the flying
- 3:09Speaker 2: ants will emerge for a big riding session of an
- 3:13Speaker 2: hour or two.
- 3:13Speaker 3: It's not on the twelfth of July, man, it has.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It's not far off at Buddy now. So it's not
- 3:19Speaker 2: because normally around about the twelfth I started looking at
- 3:21Speaker 2: around the front for the flying ats and it's not
- 3:23Speaker 2: just out of the cracks and my pavement and the
- 3:25Speaker 2: cracks of all the pavements around here. And apparently it's
- 3:28Speaker 2: their time a year, whether it's day and date, this
- 3:33Speaker 2: the tide, the moon. I don't know what it is
- 3:35Speaker 2: that brings them out the particular heat, but to come
- 3:37Speaker 2: out to do an.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Avel bit of protesticism, chars brings them out. You know.
- 3:40Speaker 2: This is it contrariness, you know, born on pallets, smell
- 3:44Speaker 2: of burning pallets in the air. But they come out
- 3:46Speaker 2: to do a bit of riding and then they ascended
- 3:47Speaker 2: the heavens in a massive plague of locust style cloud.
- 3:51Speaker 2: It's horrendous. We've learned just don't go outside, and everybody
- 3:55Speaker 2: the neighborhood. Yeah, everybody in the neighborhood run about that
- 3:57Speaker 2: day to go. There's the answer. Because the firstuple of
- 4:00Speaker 2: years we were like, oh no, we got to kill him,
- 4:01Speaker 2: get some boil and water, what do we do? And
- 4:03Speaker 2: now we're just like leave them to it. It's their day.
- 4:05Speaker 3: It's Aunt Christmas. Do you know what everybody has a day.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Is this you're as well to leave it? I mean,
- 4:10Speaker 3: and who are eating fucking you know, be so bigoted
- 4:13Speaker 3: towards these board ants. I just want to go off.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And fly and be fabulous and to be fair, to
- 4:17Speaker 2: do nobody any harm to come out. It's it's completely
- 4:20Speaker 2: fucking gross, Tom, Like you're talking of like a little
- 4:22Speaker 2: blanketed them crawling across the ground.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Are you serious? Yeah? Yeah, you've never seen anything. Yeah,
- 4:27Speaker 3: I say, are you serious? Like the things? A dragonfly
- 4:31Speaker 3: landed on my hand yesterday and it was like something
- 4:34Speaker 3: that if if I basically if it was in the
- 4:37Speaker 3: cartoon I fantasy cartoon or a movie, I was now
- 4:40Speaker 3: the new king of everything the way this thing just
- 4:43Speaker 3: landed and just looked at me. This jet black winged,
- 4:47Speaker 3: luminescent or like flip colored. He'd like three colors on him,
- 4:51Speaker 3: you know how he used to do do it back
- 4:52Speaker 3: in the day and pimp my ride those colors. And
- 4:55Speaker 3: he just turned and kind of looked at me and
- 4:56Speaker 3: just wafted it off past my head. I'm like, hel king, come,
- 5:02Speaker 3: I'm all good.
- 5:02Speaker 2: No.
- 5:02Speaker 3: It's a big, deep voice in him, actually strange. He
- 5:06Speaker 3: sounds like optimist Prime. I actually think he will hail
- 5:08Speaker 3: King Tom. I think he wasn't even a real live
- 5:12Speaker 3: just somebody with a fucking remote control CIA drome malonium.
- 5:18Speaker 2: His fellow could kill you stone dead.
- 5:21Speaker 3: That's the fucking Russians. Very ye, look at holy shit?
- 5:25Speaker 2: All right, Well, listen, we can talk about crawling insects
- 5:27Speaker 2: all goddamn evening, but we have a show to do.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Yourself and myself, Tom, we are comedians of sorts. You're
- 5:32Speaker 2: a working comedian, I'm a lapsed one. That's the entire
- 5:35Speaker 2: premise of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, we're like Seinfeld.
- 5:38Speaker 2: We're a podcast about nothing. But we do break it
- 5:40Speaker 2: up into three segments, and the first of all deals
- 5:42Speaker 2: with the weekly what have you. That's why we call
- 5:44Speaker 2: it Boom weekly what have You. This is a very
- 5:47Speaker 2: complicated case, mod you know, a lot of ian's, a
- 5:49Speaker 2: lot of outs, a lot of what.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Have you, and uh, a lot of scrans to keep
- 5:53Speaker 3: in my head. Man, how you're feeling, Jared, It's been
- 5:57Speaker 3: it was three weeks, well thirteen days of intensity that
- 6:01Speaker 3: we haven't had, I would argue since nineteen ninety six.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Honest to god. Now it's the heat folks. It's the
- 6:07Speaker 2: heat wave which by the time we land this podcast
- 6:09Speaker 2: on Thursday, we're recording on Monday, it lands in your
- 6:13Speaker 2: ears on Thursday. I hope to fuck this heat wave
- 6:17Speaker 2: is gone.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Oh and technically it's appost once it drops under twenty sixty,
- 6:21Speaker 3: considered it not a heat wave anymore. I'll argue Jarr
- 6:24Speaker 3: once it goes above nineteen.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Once it goes above nineteen, it's it's cause for alarm. Yeah,
- 6:29Speaker 2: the heatwave that has hit Ireland this summer has been
- 6:33Speaker 2: particularly prolonged and particularly brutal. I feel Tom and we
- 6:37Speaker 2: were going to throw this into the well remember when
- 6:41Speaker 2: section of the show later on, But honestly, I don't
- 6:43Speaker 2: remember a time when it was this goddamn hoth. This
- 6:45Speaker 2: is new grand baby.
- 6:46Speaker 3: They were saying nineteen seventy something that it went to
- 6:49Speaker 3: like fourteen days or something. But I remember it was
- 6:51Speaker 3: definitely this hot in the late nineties. I can remember it.
- 6:54Speaker 3: We were in school and it was cooking. It was cool,
- 6:59Speaker 3: like I was school going age, and I remember I
- 7:01Speaker 3: said it to the album yesterday. She's like, no, you're
- 7:03Speaker 3: banging on. She was really sure it was nineteen ninety
- 7:05Speaker 3: six as well. It was fucking cooking. Maybe it didn't
- 7:08Speaker 3: go for the full like it comes down to, like,
- 7:11Speaker 3: you know, fucking did it get above twenty five point six?
- 7:13Speaker 3: And Ki Kenny on the full moon of a rising tide?
- 7:17Speaker 3: So these things rather than just cutting into an actual
- 7:20Speaker 3: person who went, yeah, there was sweat rundown and cracking
- 7:23Speaker 3: my hole for three weeks solid during the nineties, I can't.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Tell you tell me this much and tell me nomore.
- 7:29Speaker 2: We can. We can say that, you know, we're not
- 7:31Speaker 2: going to get into the global warming of it around
- 7:34Speaker 2: affect that ever, what's causing this?
- 7:36Speaker 4: I'd like to stop, please?
- 7:38Speaker 3: Ah, how do you do with the heat, buddy? I'm
- 7:42Speaker 3: I've I said this before. I'm kind of like a
- 7:44Speaker 3: flask where heat nor cold overly stresses me out. But
- 7:50Speaker 3: I really I don't think. I don't know if it's
- 7:53Speaker 3: that my body doesn't mind it, or is that I'm
- 7:55Speaker 3: too ignorant to appreciate it. It's just it is what
- 8:01Speaker 3: it is. Like, you know, I've had way sore bust
- 8:04Speaker 3: fingers than the heat. You know, so the complaining about it, like,
- 8:08Speaker 3: it'd be great if I can complain about it back
- 8:10Speaker 3: pain that only I had. There's fucking no good and
- 8:13Speaker 3: complain about the thing that everybody else is fucking suffering.
- 8:15Speaker 2: So you I think, like, you know, with this particular
- 8:19Speaker 2: go a heat that we had there, and I, as
- 8:22Speaker 2: of recording our continuing to kind of sort of have
- 8:25Speaker 2: you know, the first couple of days we all weathered
- 8:27Speaker 2: it because you know, the leavings there. Weather came a
- 8:29Speaker 2: little bit later, and then after a couple of days,
- 8:31Speaker 2: you know, everybody kind of had to turn around themselves
- 8:33Speaker 2: and go.
- 8:34Speaker 3: You know what, Yeah, that's fucking no. Don't don't get
- 8:37Speaker 3: me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I fucking hate it
- 8:40Speaker 3: when it's mad, heart, because you can do a fucking
- 8:42Speaker 3: nothing in it, and I've a heape of things to
- 8:44Speaker 3: be done in it out and that you hurt.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I think you can do less in the heat.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Than you know. You can do nothing.
- 8:51Speaker 2: You might get a bit of something done.
- 8:53Speaker 3: You can drive under ing, you can no bother at all.
- 8:56Speaker 3: You drive on in the fucking rain, But this ship
- 8:59Speaker 3: you're act actually fucking cooking like a rasher. And like
- 9:03Speaker 3: I had a goall at fucking neck on me from
- 9:06Speaker 3: being ten minutes out the front washing windows the other day. Yeah,
- 9:09Speaker 3: And I thought at that stage I had an off
- 9:12Speaker 3: of a red neck built up that I wouldn't get
- 9:14Speaker 3: a new red neck. Well I got a fucking new
- 9:15Speaker 3: red neck. And is it just I can do stuff
- 9:18Speaker 3: out the back of the house, but I can't do
- 9:20Speaker 3: it out the front of the house. And almost everything
- 9:22Speaker 3: is out the front of the house. All the good stuff,
- 9:25Speaker 3: good stuff out the front I do now the back
- 9:28Speaker 3: nobody sees. It's no fucking use at all.
- 9:31Speaker 2: I'd be the I'd be the very exact same time.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Now my job to do would be minimal, but things
- 9:36Speaker 2: like power washing, which I suppose needs a nice day
- 9:39Speaker 2: to do, but there's no joy in it to do
- 9:41Speaker 2: it because you're literally got the high vision and the
- 9:44Speaker 2: and the goggles on and the whole lots.
- 9:47Speaker 3: You don't have to say that the royal you there
- 9:50Speaker 3: are there, this is personally do you have wrap that
- 9:53Speaker 3: up nicely?
- 9:54Speaker 2: There now you steel cat boots and the whole lot,
- 9:56Speaker 2: and you'd just be in a puddle your own make
- 9:58Speaker 2: And I find no enjoyment of it. What's well, it
- 10:01Speaker 2: does lend itself. I will say to a couple of
- 10:03Speaker 2: things that we like here in the Tom and Jerry show,
- 10:06Speaker 2: which is sitting around drinking clonmetal, champagne and barbecuing as well,
- 10:14Speaker 2: good things, right, we like these things and and the
- 10:18Speaker 2: hot weather doesn't lend itself nicely to them.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I was trying to think the other day, who benefits
- 10:23Speaker 3: from this? Because farmers right now are in a like
- 10:26Speaker 3: they're in a drought right now, especially dairy farmers right now.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Those animals need a lot of water. They need a
- 10:31Speaker 3: lot of moisturous, lovely grass to be jumping on, and
- 10:34Speaker 3: they don't have it their background feeding them silas and
- 10:37Speaker 3: fucking grain now because because the grass is yellow, the
- 10:40Speaker 3: grass is golled. That red raught is like but so
- 10:45Speaker 3: they won't obviously aren't benefiting from it, but somebody it is.
- 10:48Speaker 3: It's rarely and it will blow doesn't blow well for
- 10:51Speaker 3: somebody like and the likes of that from the time
- 10:54Speaker 3: of the sister working in boomers. Once the fucking sun
- 10:58Speaker 3: peaks even nipple around the clouds, bullmer stocks go up,
- 11:04Speaker 3: and they have been fucking going twenty four seven, Get
- 11:08Speaker 3: insider out the gap because Guinness guinnesses will go down,
- 11:13Speaker 3: like do you know what I mean? Like because whatever
- 11:15Speaker 3: people's notion is in their head that they need to
- 11:17Speaker 3: have an apple.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Cold bubbling bubbling drink.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can't, yeah, or you can't put no
- 11:24Speaker 3: ice cubes into fucking again all of some.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Can you put ice in guinnis?
- 11:29Speaker 3: I suppose you could, but you can't write well.
- 11:31Speaker 2: That's the same Yeah, by that same token, you can
- 11:33Speaker 2: put ice.
- 11:33Speaker 3: And in souper for fuck in cereal, like if you
- 11:36Speaker 3: want to put you know what you want. I was
- 11:39Speaker 3: trying to think, and it was so the cider companies
- 11:41Speaker 3: are going to make the ice cream companies out the
- 11:43Speaker 3: fucking door. And I would I would say anybody producing
- 11:47Speaker 3: meat that lend themselves to barbecue, yeah, probably do very
- 11:51Speaker 3: well out of this kind of scenario. Everybody else kind
- 11:54Speaker 3: of fuck some small the Yeah.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Another thing that I like to do, I like tryangle
- 12:00Speaker 2: for runs and keep fit and all this kind of thing.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Doom a level best. But the clon metal champagne is
- 12:05Speaker 2: winning the battle this summer time, of course. But you
- 12:09Speaker 2: can't in that weather, in that heat, oh god, that heat,
- 12:13Speaker 2: you go out running, you just turn into Do you
- 12:15Speaker 2: remember your Man and X men that got turned into water?
- 12:18Speaker 4: Yes?
- 12:18Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'd be like, Kelly, I do you
- 12:23Speaker 3: know what horrendous human I was in Dublin a couple
- 12:26Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and it was just the start of
- 12:28Speaker 3: the write. Hot weather, and I was coming out from
- 12:30Speaker 3: hosting a gig early enough gig. I was done by
- 12:32Speaker 3: about half eight and corporating on Leason Street, right Leason Street,
- 12:39Speaker 3: and this guy was out jogging. He was half eight
- 12:42Speaker 3: at night and there was twenty five degrees go in
- 12:45Speaker 3: the fuck and this guy was jogging no short on
- 12:48Speaker 3: loo looked like yeah, it looked like a Greek god
- 12:50Speaker 3: in all airness to him, like, you know what I mean,
- 12:52Speaker 3: But you're kind of gonna let you could have gone
- 12:55Speaker 3: for a run anywhere, now.
- 12:56Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 12:58Speaker 3: Did you you? Why don't just put your number across
- 13:01Speaker 3: your back? Yeah, like in all fairness to him, tap
- 13:04Speaker 3: of the cap unreal rig but let like sweating away.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's That's not what the people on the
- 13:12Speaker 2: on Guard distributor road sea in this weather. No running
- 13:16Speaker 2: around with my fucking pizza slice taties bobbing around the place.
- 13:20Speaker 3: I wanted to see if that's maybe I could tempt
- 13:23Speaker 3: you because I saw this guy, maybe you could be
- 13:24Speaker 3: tempted to have.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Nope, But yeah, and I you know, not for nothing
- 13:31Speaker 2: as well, tom uh normally we get this heat in
- 13:34Speaker 2: the summertime, thankfully, mercifully we get it in the summertime.
- 13:38Speaker 2: And then just must be said that all of my
- 13:39Speaker 2: favorite things are not in the summertime. So all of
- 13:42Speaker 2: my favorite things are like Christmas and Halloween and open fires,
- 13:46Speaker 2: tom and turf fires and kicking back and relaxing and
- 13:50Speaker 2: and and it getting dark at six o'clock in the day.
- 13:53Speaker 2: So when I look out at the middle of any
- 13:55Speaker 2: given day and it's like looking out into the serengetti,
- 13:58Speaker 2: I'm just like, all right, this is not my time
- 14:01Speaker 2: of year.
- 14:01Speaker 3: I'm not built for this, isn't it funny? Like you're
- 14:03Speaker 3: just like other people have themselves convinced I need to
- 14:06Speaker 3: roast myself. And you're like, Noreen, you haven't seen sun
- 14:10Speaker 3: in eleven and a half months. What makes you think
- 14:13Speaker 3: your skin can take it? I have you stop doing
- 14:16Speaker 3: anything for eleven and a half months, if you stop
- 14:20Speaker 3: boxing training, if you stop writing for them, Maybe we're
- 14:22Speaker 3: young for the summer. You wouldn't write for the whole summer,
- 14:24Speaker 3: and you come back then in September and you may
- 14:26Speaker 3: be holding it up your nostril like the fucking pencil.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Like people just go well, I'm just gonna scold massive, like, okay, melanoma, Mary,
- 14:34Speaker 3: what are you hoping for here? Like? What's beautiful? Sure?
- 14:36Speaker 3: Don't you look great? Like there are other nations who
- 14:39Speaker 3: go the other way, who block themselves from the sun.
- 14:41Speaker 3: So it's not the look suntanned, because it's the property.
- 14:45Speaker 2: It must be said, like, I've never been a sun
- 14:47Speaker 2: worship or time. I never want to lie out from it.
- 14:50Speaker 2: If I'm on hollering this orn like that, I might
- 14:52Speaker 2: lie out for like but like forty minutes into what
- 14:55Speaker 2: I'm getting, you know you're not built for it here.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Where can I go and walk?
- 14:59Speaker 4: This is not for me here?
- 15:01Speaker 3: The some there's a new form of sun worship too,
- 15:03Speaker 3: actually in the last year, so you know there's always
- 15:05Speaker 3: a new variation of yoga and these things, and you know,
- 15:08Speaker 3: goats climbing all over your head. Have you seen the
- 15:10Speaker 3: lads who just talk off fully and just hold their
- 15:12Speaker 3: legs up and just spread their ainus for the sun
- 15:15Speaker 3: that I do? Yeah, yeah, I do. I knew I
- 15:19Speaker 3: recognized you that at the back. I just I just
- 15:23Speaker 3: literally up the back.
- 15:26Speaker 2: And it was just like right, get as much of
- 15:27Speaker 2: it into me as I can yeah, this whole thing of.
- 15:30Speaker 3: I'll take my sorry, I don't have not a sun worship.
- 15:33Speaker 3: I just take my son anally.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Yes, and I just like one good.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm going to tell you to
- 15:38Speaker 3: take my son as a suppository.
- 15:40Speaker 2: We've we've all we're all friends here, Tom, We've all
- 15:43Speaker 2: had like a Chinese that was too hot for us,
- 15:46Speaker 2: We've all had an India hot for us, and you
- 15:48Speaker 2: know all about it the next day.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Can you imagine having sun borne up your whole? I did?
- 15:53Speaker 3: I once I went, I went for a vindaloo one time.
- 15:56Speaker 3: I thought I was braver than anything, and I knew.
- 15:59Speaker 3: I knew even coming home with pints on me afterwards,
- 16:01Speaker 3: I knew to put the title role in there is
- 16:04Speaker 3: going to be bad, and I was hundred percent right.
- 16:07Speaker 3: It was horrific for three days here. I don't know
- 16:09Speaker 3: what sort of humans who do this? Do you have
- 16:11Speaker 3: any did you develop any tricks? Because what I found
- 16:14Speaker 3: myself developing is do you know like those spiders out
- 16:16Speaker 3: and is the Iraq there that they chase shadows? They
- 16:20Speaker 3: only they can only survive radiant shadows. There's snow white
- 16:23Speaker 3: these hoh.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I've seen something like the horrific.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Things that they can actually inesetize while chewing your leg
- 16:28Speaker 3: off in the middle of the desert. If there was
- 16:31Speaker 3: just one more thing to keep you awake while you
- 16:32Speaker 3: were fighting the erect war back in the day, they
- 16:34Speaker 3: would they could, like a lad could wake up with
- 16:37Speaker 3: a stump, but have felt nothing because this.
- 16:40Speaker 2: But these have heard I have heard of those spiders stump.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I believe they're called iraq nids.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Jesus anyway, comedy guys, what's.
- 16:48Speaker 2: The deal If a fucking if a podcast and ruins
- 16:53Speaker 2: that joke, I'm going.
- 16:53Speaker 3: To I hope it stops all over with fucking pet
- 16:57Speaker 3: pest control. The I found myself. You know, you're driving
- 17:01Speaker 3: into car parks now and you're like, yeah, we're what
- 17:04Speaker 3: ways the sun shining? I found myself like pulling beside
- 17:09Speaker 3: big transits who are casting a shadow, like every little help,
- 17:13Speaker 3: every little help, just to keep a bit out. I
- 17:15Speaker 3: even dug it out, dug out that silvery thing that
- 17:17Speaker 3: my wife maybe by it's five years ago in al
- 17:20Speaker 3: the the you know the silvery thing that you see Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 3: any good it does. I mean, now, if you leave
- 17:26Speaker 3: a crack open on the windows, you're going to be
- 17:29Speaker 3: okay the car actually it does reflect and afla. But
- 17:32Speaker 3: I see lads and other car parks who the car
- 17:34Speaker 3: has been sitting all the day and they're fucking trying
- 17:36Speaker 3: to catch the steering with with their sleeves to pulled over. Man,
- 17:39Speaker 3: I tell you what it is.
- 17:40Speaker 4: You find the car.
- 17:41Speaker 3: It's hot obviously for a second, but the old air
- 17:43Speaker 3: can it gets it gets cooled real quick because not
- 17:46Speaker 3: because not every millimeter offucking plastic is cooking in the
- 17:50Speaker 3: sun all day. That being said, it's the hottest, you
- 17:56Speaker 3: know what I mean. I found myself really enjoying going
- 17:58Speaker 3: into the supermarket because yeah, you find yourself going straight
- 18:02Speaker 3: to like the fridgile, you know, the freezer. Yeah, it's
- 18:05Speaker 3: just rolling down along there. You'd never know that we
- 18:07Speaker 3: might need more peas.
- 18:09Speaker 4: You just don't know.
- 18:10Speaker 3: You just don't know wandering into places that aircon.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Do you know what we're going to tell you, Tom Now,
- 18:18Speaker 2: I think for the Tom and Jerry Show, we've we've
- 18:20Speaker 2: spent a long enough talking about the weather, and hopefully
- 18:22Speaker 2: now by the time we come around next year, we
- 18:24Speaker 2: have sorted out whatever it is it's causing all this
- 18:26Speaker 2: and not have it again. But from now I think
- 18:28Speaker 2: we will say goodbye to mister Sun and start talking
- 18:30Speaker 2: about another lad. How does that sound to you?
- 18:32Speaker 3: It sounds good to me. All right, let's talk about
- 18:34Speaker 3: this lad.
- 18:36Speaker 4: There's that nice.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Nice this is this is right up there with men thoughts, honestly.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, we debated whether we were going to talk
- 18:48Speaker 2: about this situation here, folks, because it starts with a tragedy.
- 18:53Speaker 2: And and I guess ends as well as could be expected.
- 18:57Speaker 3: But this is what it could be hoped. You're not
- 19:00Speaker 3: expect it as well.
- 19:01Speaker 2: As could be hope. Yes, indeed, this is the incident
- 19:03Speaker 2: in Argentina last week where a flight instructor called Lenardo
- 19:07Speaker 2: bert Hazo tragically took his own life by jumping from
- 19:12Speaker 2: a plane while it was in mid air. He was
- 19:16Speaker 2: a flight instructor. No no, no, no, no, kind of
- 19:20Speaker 2: old man twenty you know, as age would be here
- 19:24Speaker 2: now Tomas about.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Forty two, forty two.
- 19:28Speaker 2: And and Dan talk. The decision tragically to to to
- 19:31Speaker 2: to end his life by jumping out of the plane
- 19:35Speaker 2: came as a surprise, that must be said to the
- 19:36Speaker 2: lady who was given flight instructions two at the time.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Yeah, poor Rosario, there she was only what twenty two
- 19:41Speaker 3: to twenty three just kind of two? Yeah, what's not?
- 19:45Speaker 3: And yeah made for the fucking ground. I mean, when
- 19:51Speaker 3: looking this up, this is by no means an isolated case.
- 19:55Speaker 2: He's not an isolated incident.
- 19:56Speaker 3: No, holy shit. I mean, I'd consider taking flying Sson
- 20:00Speaker 3: once upon a time, but I don't know. Now. I'll
- 20:02Speaker 3: be honest with you. I have a psyche test done
- 20:03Speaker 3: on the lad teaching me first. I mean, we've all.
- 20:06Speaker 3: I mean, when I did my driving test, the wound
- 20:09Speaker 3: seventeen years of age. But the woman that was giving
- 20:11Speaker 3: me the lessons was the most foul mouthed, angry, psychotic
- 20:15Speaker 3: old lady. You've like, you've never heard corson until you've
- 20:19Speaker 3: heard an eighty three year old called you a fucking
- 20:20Speaker 3: egypt You know, she had a ruler to hit me
- 20:23Speaker 3: across the knuckuts. But I remember thinking going, this is
- 20:25Speaker 3: the most disgraceful way of teaching anybody.
- 20:27Speaker 2: But it was done.
- 20:30Speaker 3: It was the late nineties. I passed, and all of
- 20:31Speaker 3: a sudden she turned into like the mother from the
- 20:34Speaker 3: then grandmother from Dennis the Menace. Remember what the old
- 20:36Speaker 3: one next door like? Yeah? No, I had no point
- 20:40Speaker 3: that I think driving down, you know, by the Maid
- 20:42Speaker 3: of Errand and Tipperary Town. As I made a left
- 20:45Speaker 3: and she said to make a fucking right. You fucking
- 20:47Speaker 3: eed it. Did I think she was going to just
- 20:49Speaker 3: pull the fucking parachute and just roll out of the thing, open.
- 20:52Speaker 2: The door and leap out. Yeah, it must be said
- 20:53Speaker 2: as well for those that haven't heard the story, the
- 20:55Speaker 2: flight instructor. When you jumped out, it wasn't like with
- 20:57Speaker 2: a parachute on them, or.
- 21:01Speaker 3: I'll get out here, so you take it home and
- 21:03Speaker 3: give me a shout in the morning.
- 21:06Speaker 2: I forgot something good luck.
- 21:08Speaker 3: The mother question.
- 21:09Speaker 2: But Purel Rosario was left to fend for herself in
- 21:12Speaker 2: the says No. One fifty aircraft, which is not a
- 21:15Speaker 2: leer jet or anything like that. But it's more plain
- 21:18Speaker 2: that I would be comfortable flying on my own, on
- 21:20Speaker 2: my second or toward lesson. I'll tell you that much.
- 21:22Speaker 3: It's not a horse and carriage. They're they're fucking well
- 21:25Speaker 3: off the ground. And he, like Albertassio, he turns around,
- 21:28Speaker 3: you know what to do, so carry on and fucked
- 21:31Speaker 3: himself out the door. I mean just led in all
- 21:35Speaker 3: the time. Could you wait it? Could you just taken
- 21:37Speaker 3: it up yourself.
- 21:40Speaker 2: And we can't cant for people to what people to
- 21:42Speaker 2: be thinking. I'm not thinking in situations like this. But
- 21:44Speaker 2: as you said yourself, Tom, he's not the only one
- 21:46Speaker 2: to do this, right. You've got the boys there that
- 21:48Speaker 2: have done similar right.
- 21:49Speaker 3: There's a there was another guy last year and he
- 21:52Speaker 3: did it in a plane and it was it was
- 21:54Speaker 3: in America, and there was another guy. He did it
- 21:57Speaker 3: while it was a helicopter, which is more much more difficult.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It would seem like if you can, if you're not
- 22:02Speaker 3: fully compasmentus over a helicopter, yeah you're And even I
- 22:06Speaker 3: think bill Board did a bit about it, and he
- 22:08Speaker 3: was just talking about can you imagine? He wasn't even
- 22:12Speaker 3: he wasn't going for the funnies. He was just can
- 22:14Speaker 3: you imagine being in that scenario? Or you're just going
- 22:18Speaker 3: right look out the fucking door, am angos? Like now,
- 22:21Speaker 3: I think weirdly, I think one guy survived. I think
- 22:24Speaker 3: trying to do trying to do it, it was like
- 22:26Speaker 3: what the fuck? Put in all fairness to Rosario and
- 22:31Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing, she want to get a
- 22:33Speaker 3: few pounds for this, not at least after whatever company
- 22:36Speaker 3: owns the plane. She fucking got a down dar.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Well, this is it. This is why Rosario herself now
- 22:41Speaker 2: is this week's this lad. She is the lady. This
- 22:44Speaker 2: lad can be anyone, folks, this lad, this lady Rosario
- 22:47Speaker 2: sur name has not been made public as far as
- 22:49Speaker 2: my five minutes of Google and can tell she managed
- 22:53Speaker 2: to land, this says the one fifty by herself under
- 22:56Speaker 2: what must have been tom It has to be said
- 22:58Speaker 2: incredibly fucking uh against circumstances. I mean, I mean, there's
- 23:04Speaker 2: one thing to land the plane.
- 23:05Speaker 3: At the best of is, and even to land the
- 23:08Speaker 3: plane with your man saying nothing to you. But if
- 23:10Speaker 3: your man has already just committed suicide alongside you, you're
- 23:14Speaker 3: like what like you're you're not in a good head
- 23:17Speaker 3: space at this point. But I tell you one thing,
- 23:19Speaker 3: it's a fair indictment to this one Rosaria to say
- 23:24Speaker 3: she has you know, as they say, she hit nerves
- 23:27Speaker 3: and shit fucking results.
- 23:28Speaker 2: That's what she did, you know, twenty two years of age, Argentinian,
- 23:32Speaker 2: you know, probably got the World Cup on my mind
- 23:34Speaker 2: and everything, like, you know, you're not going on. So
- 23:37Speaker 2: I suppose in honor of Rosario, who got that job done,
- 23:39Speaker 2: the land of the plane safely without you know, plowing
- 23:42Speaker 2: it into a school or something. Tom, I ask you this,
- 23:46Speaker 2: and you don't need to ask me because you know
- 23:47Speaker 2: my answer.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Yeah. Do you think you could land a plane? Buddy?
- 23:51Speaker 2: Absolutely? Me too, Thank you. I thought you were going
- 23:53Speaker 2: to fight me on this one, because now you don't
- 23:55Speaker 2: think I can fight a bear. There's like there's McBride
- 23:57Speaker 2: thinks he can fight a bear, thinks he can land
- 23:59Speaker 2: a play in. But like Tom, I absolutely can fight
- 24:02Speaker 2: a bear and I absolutely can land a plane anything.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Now have you ever done one of
- 24:07Speaker 3: the flight simulators I have played?
- 24:10Speaker 2: I've never done the big commercial man.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Now, so are you're going to tell me you did
- 24:13Speaker 3: something at home? Now in the PlayStation?
- 24:18Speaker 2: But I had the I had. I had the proper
- 24:20Speaker 2: joysticks and throttles and the whole lot of it.
- 24:22Speaker 3: All right, Well, sure there you go. I mean, now,
- 24:24Speaker 3: were you in your socks with a couple of t
- 24:26Speaker 3: beside Jane at home? You were?
- 24:27Speaker 4: Do you know what?
- 24:28Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Tom, I'm so proficient at it.
- 24:30Speaker 2: I probably had a couple of cans me and got
- 24:32Speaker 2: that thing and fucking shut down several enemy aircraft along
- 24:36Speaker 2: the way.
- 24:36Speaker 3: I was agreeing with you there because I was like, okay,
- 24:38Speaker 3: all right, well, I mean I I'm all right. I
- 24:41Speaker 3: mean I can drive quite a lot of things, you know,
- 24:43Speaker 3: I can fucking hell them, all right, all right when
- 24:46Speaker 3: it comes to driving things have a teleporter fucking license,
- 24:49Speaker 3: you know, or ticket. But it would anything I've ever tried,
- 24:55Speaker 3: and I did a simulator last Christmas? Would you believe
- 24:58Speaker 3: about a jet fighter and and an airliner? And honestly,
- 25:06Speaker 3: for everything you're thinking on I can do that. There
- 25:11Speaker 3: are so many fucking things that play that are fair
- 25:14Speaker 3: and iron You're like, what why is that over there?
- 25:18Speaker 2: Why is there?
- 25:18Speaker 3: Why is gravity and wind and auturbulent and all this
- 25:21Speaker 3: fucking thing acting against me? And meanwhile, okay in a
- 25:25Speaker 3: hotel suite, like I have to tell.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Your time right as you mentioned it there, Okay? Do
- 25:30Speaker 2: I think that I could do all the controls and
- 25:35Speaker 2: switches of a commercial airliner and turn the don't turn
- 25:39Speaker 2: the turn the fasten your seatbut switch on? Do I
- 25:41Speaker 2: know where all that is? Do I know where the
- 25:43Speaker 2: gauges are? All that?
- 25:44Speaker 4: No?
- 25:45Speaker 2: Can I roughly speak in spot somewhere that looks like
- 25:48Speaker 2: a plane can land and and fly a plane towards
- 25:51Speaker 2: its slow enough that it just sort of bombs on
- 25:54Speaker 2: the ground.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I can do that now, Yes, you
- 26:00Speaker 3: could profit. Now, your experience of flying anything probably starts
- 26:06Speaker 3: and end like most of us, where you're trying to
- 26:07Speaker 3: feed a child with a spoon and you're making where
- 26:14Speaker 3: you know the depth of the spoon, the height of
- 26:17Speaker 3: the spoon, you can see the trajectory of the spoon.
- 26:19Speaker 3: But if you're sitting thirty thirty feet up in chin
- 26:22Speaker 3: inside the tiny little fucking greenhouse, do you know the
- 26:28Speaker 3: bottom of this plane is where the bottom of it?
- 26:30Speaker 3: Because there I would say to take as a few
- 26:32Speaker 3: tempts a hop on that thing off the fucking ground
- 26:35Speaker 3: first before we'd get it to glide in quite nicely.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But would it would you mind if I if I
- 26:42Speaker 3: gave you, please, if I gave you the very brief,
- 26:45Speaker 3: very brief rundown on what to do, and then you
- 26:48Speaker 3: tell me if there's any of it that stands out
- 26:50Speaker 3: where you're like, yeah, maybe right, or you go actually yeah,
- 26:54Speaker 3: and now I'm even more assured. So number one, right,
- 26:58Speaker 3: So if if you're instructed, well just say your instructor
- 27:00Speaker 3: passes out. We're not We're not gonna say that the
- 27:03Speaker 3: poor fucker pulled the door and jumped out right, So
- 27:05Speaker 3: we're just gonna say passes out. So force things forced.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Make sure they're not leaning none enything. That's my advice, right,
- 27:15Speaker 3: Be sure they're thought they're leaning back the way, or
- 27:17Speaker 3: fuck them out onto the ground at the very leads
- 27:18Speaker 3: to put them in a recovery position. Now, if autopilot
- 27:22Speaker 3: is on, lave it on, right, leave it if you
- 27:26Speaker 3: need to fly, man, you need gently correct the plane's pitch,
- 27:30Speaker 3: which is up and down, yes, and bank left and
- 27:34Speaker 3: right until your wings are level with the horizon. Jar
- 27:38Speaker 3: you think straight lines, I'd be confident with straight lines, like,
- 27:41Speaker 3: I'm pretty pretty good now. So you've studied it, you've
- 27:45Speaker 3: steadied it. You're in the air. Time to declare an emergency.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Can't do this by yourself, McBride. I know you're pure
- 27:50Speaker 3: die hard, like you'll just go God, damn, guys.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I need to I need I need to ring the
- 27:54Speaker 2: ror and let them know to have six cans of
- 27:56Speaker 2: Heineken that already.
- 27:57Speaker 3: And a twenty pack of Major just for the hell
- 27:59Speaker 3: of it, just with the job. So now you need
- 28:01Speaker 3: to put on your headset jar. You can operate that
- 28:03Speaker 3: no problem, and you need to speak very clearly. None
- 28:05Speaker 3: of his manatan fuck hey, none of that crack.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Okay, see me after class, mister Roman.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Go on, this is this is says you just find
- 28:17Speaker 3: coming from you, you fucking culture. But anyway you do
- 28:21Speaker 3: need There is a button, a PTT button.
- 28:24Speaker 2: What does PtD stand for?
- 28:25Speaker 3: Push to talk? PTT push to talk? Okay, right, and
- 28:29Speaker 3: that is on the yoke, right, okay. Now you're only
- 28:34Speaker 3: allowed to transmit with one one one word three times. Jar,
- 28:37Speaker 3: what's it going to be?
- 28:39Speaker 2: Maybe?
- 28:39Speaker 3: Maybe? Maybe, God, you might be okay.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I've seen executive decision.
- 28:44Speaker 3: So stage your aircraft's tail number. It starts with it
- 28:50Speaker 3: N in the US.
- 28:52Speaker 2: How do you pull up with the N C T
- 28:53Speaker 2: and to say, what's the regular caramel?
- 28:55Speaker 3: Back out the window, Let me duck out.
- 28:57Speaker 2: The wind and check here, hang on a second, I
- 28:58Speaker 2: know it's you know, it's two one two D on
- 29:00Speaker 2: a second here, okay, So best to fucking look me
- 29:03Speaker 2: knowing them.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Well, assume it's an Irish and Irish one and it's Ei,
- 29:08Speaker 3: right Ei e I oh so ei in Ireland, and
- 29:11Speaker 3: explain that your instructor has panned out. Yes, just tell
- 29:14Speaker 3: them that story first and foremost, right, and it's not
- 29:16Speaker 3: just some mad fucking you know, my Monahan terrorist has
- 29:19Speaker 3: taken over the plane. If you can't find the right
- 29:22Speaker 3: radio frequency, so you're talking to fucking nobody. This is
- 29:24Speaker 3: one to remember for everybody. Right, tune the Emergency GUARDE
- 29:28Speaker 3: channel into one two one point five.
- 29:31Speaker 2: One two one point five.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Welcome to one two one point few five Emergency Radio.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Come to you in all airwaves.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Home of the fuck then soon to be fucked.
- 29:41Speaker 3: Ye. Now follow the ATC guidance right, so the air
- 29:45Speaker 3: traffic control will become your lifeline now at this point,
- 29:47Speaker 3: char so they can often use radar or pinpoint your
- 29:50Speaker 3: location and root you to the nearest, safest runway. So
- 29:53Speaker 3: you you're confident you'd know what a run any kind
- 29:55Speaker 3: of runway would look like. You can't fund fifty, right, so.
- 29:59Speaker 2: I'm also called that I know what a gafield looks like.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Tom, Yeah, not sure. You've got a big plane here now, right,
- 30:05Speaker 3: So you've got a big fucking plain right. They'll talk
- 30:07Speaker 3: you through everything you need to do, every switching dial
- 30:09Speaker 3: and leave it a whole lot because they have training
- 30:11Speaker 3: for this. That your transponder, the ATC might ask you
- 30:15Speaker 3: to change change the squad code on your radio to
- 30:18Speaker 3: seventy seven hundred. This alerts all radio stations that you're
- 30:22Speaker 3: in an emergency. Now what there anybody around? You can't
- 30:25Speaker 3: do it? Now, time to fly the planeger they can
- 30:29Speaker 3: and focus entirely on the instruction. The controller gives you
- 30:32Speaker 3: regarding speed at you the whole lot, so you're tipping along.
- 30:36Speaker 3: They got you over the over the track.
- 30:38Speaker 2: The flying is the handy bit.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the handybit. Now here comes the London.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Do not attempt a standard traffic pattern unless ATC ask you.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Okay, Tom, I wasn't going to attempt a standing standard
- 30:52Speaker 2: traffic pattern because that is yeah, I'm going to line
- 30:55Speaker 2: it up and and and and gradually slow down as
- 30:58Speaker 2: I reached it.
- 30:59Speaker 3: So they will usually vector you in for a long, straight,
- 31:01Speaker 3: final approach. So what I think what they're saying is
- 31:04Speaker 3: like your average pilot can come swinging around the corner
- 31:07Speaker 3: of Glass Nevin and fuck it down in Dublin, whereas
- 31:10Speaker 3: they will line you in from Cork. If you'll get me,
- 31:12Speaker 3: They'll say, do you see a load of Cork people?
- 31:16Speaker 2: I do, right, I can them.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Keep them on your left. Do you see a load
- 31:20Speaker 3: of expert people.
- 31:21Speaker 4: I do.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Keep them on your right now, pointed straight for Dublin, please,
- 31:24Speaker 3: And that's the kind that's what vectoring is, I believe.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Now listen close to the guide, and when you're lower
- 31:31Speaker 3: your landing gear, deploy your flaps and reduce your throttle. Jar.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Yeah you'll comfort back, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So
- 31:40Speaker 3: when over the runway, gently pull the throttle to idle
- 31:43Speaker 3: and pull back slowly on the controls to let the
- 31:46Speaker 3: rear wheels touch the tarmac first, so you're pulling up
- 31:48Speaker 3: per nose to throw our urs down first. Once on
- 31:51Speaker 3: the ground, break very gently, keep the plane centered and
- 31:55Speaker 3: wait for emergency responders. I like this at the very
- 32:01Speaker 3: end of it. Are you currently experiencing emergency? Are you
- 32:04Speaker 3: preparing for.
- 32:06Speaker 4: In the air.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Here or anything? Now? But I like, you know, I
- 32:14Speaker 2: could have probably figured all of that out without ringing
- 32:16Speaker 2: any air traffic controller and and without the help of
- 32:20Speaker 2: the Tom and Jerry show. This is all the guy
- 32:22Speaker 2: for other people because.
- 32:22Speaker 3: I knew all that, right, Okay, So you I haven't
- 32:25Speaker 3: There is no way you you haven't been deterred in
- 32:28Speaker 3: any way, No.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Not at all. Emboldened if anything. I'll tell you what
- 32:33Speaker 2: I would have done different though, the big bright way
- 32:36Speaker 2: of doing it. That all makes sense, And yeah, I
- 32:38Speaker 2: probably would do that, all right, one two, one point five. Yeah,
- 32:42Speaker 2: I just ring that just to let them know. One
- 32:44Speaker 2: come in as a courtesy. Now, I'm not looking for help, lads,
- 32:46Speaker 2: I just needed to know.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Man, you do like a fly by like a top gun, like,
- 32:52Speaker 3: let me tell you, tom as long as.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I get it on the ground, I think I'm buying large, okay, Like,
- 32:59Speaker 2: so all I need to know is can I fly
- 33:02Speaker 2: this around onto the fuck call patrol in it? So
- 33:05Speaker 2: even if you know, so even if there is like
- 33:08Speaker 2: you know, a bit of a scrape on the ground,
- 33:13Speaker 2: it's not going to explode and take me with it.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Do you see what I'm saying?
- 33:15Speaker 3: Or you're trying to run the tank dry.
- 33:17Speaker 2: So that tank sort of dry, yeah, sort of gliding,
- 33:21Speaker 2: you know.
- 33:22Speaker 3: So hopefully that there's just no petroline attact you just
- 33:25Speaker 3: blow up. And I mean there's that that would be
- 33:28Speaker 3: seen as being both yeah, overly cautious, but at the
- 33:31Speaker 3: same time absolutely flagrant with other people's lives. Do you know,
- 33:35Speaker 3: Jerry's just gonna have a bit of a jolly, do
- 33:37Speaker 3: you know what I do? I'll fly over Tom's house.
- 33:39Speaker 3: How's that and just say hell out of view.
- 33:40Speaker 2: People like up here. And I feel like once I
- 33:44Speaker 2: get it, even if I don't deploy the landing gear,
- 33:47Speaker 2: if I get that thing on the ground, I'll take
- 33:50Speaker 2: that as a win.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Oh, you're just going to grind it to a halt
- 33:53Speaker 3: with a thousand meters of sparks, yes, okay, all right
- 33:57Speaker 3: with fuel tanks.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Okay, there's that sound U reasonable? Because it sounds pretty
- 34:01Speaker 2: fing awesome to me.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you would come in and I want
- 34:04Speaker 3: you to throw it outside as well as you come
- 34:06Speaker 3: towards the very end, like you're drifting the fucking thing,
- 34:08Speaker 3: like just yeah, I love I love that. There's absolutely
- 34:14Speaker 3: nothing in your mind that absolutely takes a backward step there.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Every bit of that sounds like, yeah, yeah, Now, this
- 34:20Speaker 3: is people. This is Jerry who's on a regular basis.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Leave me voice and it's going, can you hear that?
- 34:24Speaker 3: You're that how many months do I have left before
- 34:29Speaker 3: I've got this thing? It's all right, it's before it
- 34:32Speaker 3: costs me a fucking fortune.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Well do you feel that you two could could land
- 34:36Speaker 2: a plane now? Thanks to the Tama Jerry Show.
- 34:38Speaker 3: I actually do. I do. I hate admitting it because
- 34:40Speaker 3: I like to be a realist, because I've driven some
- 34:42Speaker 3: counts of yolks like that. You're going this pig of
- 34:45Speaker 3: a thing like I can't back up an Arctic truck well.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Abtually one thing. I'd fly a plane quicker than a
- 34:50Speaker 2: drive an articlry.
- 34:52Speaker 3: That thing is like two gearboxes, that's true. And there's
- 34:55Speaker 3: loads happening there like there and.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Loads going on. I wouldn't know what way. I didn't
- 34:59Speaker 2: want to know where the stuff. I wouldn't have turned
- 35:00Speaker 2: that fucking on.
- 35:01Speaker 3: The only saving grace of flying in the sky is
- 35:04Speaker 3: that there's little no chance of hitting something else up there, right,
- 35:09Speaker 3: do you know? Because I mean, if they put out
- 35:10Speaker 3: the emergency call, you'd hope that actual experienced pilots are good.
- 35:13Speaker 3: It's still clear. It's good, you know what I mean? Like,
- 35:16Speaker 3: you know, best of look Maverick, but where's there. We're
- 35:20Speaker 3: going to detour, stay fifty miles away from you, Thank
- 35:24Speaker 3: you very much? You yeah, bestI look, look, do.
- 35:27Speaker 4: You know what?
- 35:27Speaker 2: Tom Mavericks are pretty good. When we're gonna we're gonna
- 35:30Speaker 2: maybe move on to the next segment of the show
- 35:31Speaker 2: because as a maverick or two in it as well. Now,
- 35:33Speaker 2: but like I say, fair playta Rosaria. That got that
- 35:36Speaker 2: playing down in Argentina. A rough week for you, missus,
- 35:39Speaker 2: but you are this lad on the Tom and Jerry
- 35:41Speaker 2: Show later. It's not all fucking sad ssach. But we
- 35:45Speaker 2: are going to move on to some other mavericks in
- 35:47Speaker 2: the final segment of the show where we look back.
- 35:49Speaker 2: That's strange things we've noticed in our forty some odd
- 35:52Speaker 2: years on this planet. We call the segment we remember
- 35:56Speaker 2: when when I was a young lad twenty or thirty
- 35:59Speaker 2: or forty years ago.
- 36:01Speaker 3: It had to be kind of this could have been
- 36:03Speaker 3: this lad as well. I suppose really it could have been,
- 36:07Speaker 3: because for many reasons. More than anything is that I'm
- 36:11Speaker 3: amazed that you didn't know who at all, Luke Cohmbes
- 36:16Speaker 3: was that past had no idea he passed you by
- 36:19Speaker 3: more on who I thought he was. But go on,
- 36:21Speaker 3: Luke Combs, as we to speak here has just been
- 36:24Speaker 3: so explaining to slay two nights.
- 36:29Speaker 2: In a row, which is like not the kind of
- 36:31Speaker 2: thing that people do. All that terrible off. Number one,
- 36:34Speaker 2: I remember the time that the people of slain wouldn't
- 36:36Speaker 2: let you do it. But now apparently as Luke combs,
- 36:39Speaker 2: we love him and it is the first time ever
- 36:42Speaker 2: for slaying Tom where not only am I not all
- 36:44Speaker 2: that familiar with the artist and the music, I've never
- 36:47Speaker 2: heard of this motherfucker in my life.
- 36:49Speaker 3: I'm I'm flabbergasts given given your background and whatnot. But
- 36:54Speaker 3: the fact that he sold out day two on the
- 36:57Speaker 3: day of the All Ireland Horland Jail Final and the
- 37:00Speaker 3: World Cup and the World Cup, that will tell you
- 37:03Speaker 3: people like, don't give a fuck.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Don't luks our man. So so it had me saying,
- 37:07Speaker 2: Tom Luke, howas is a country star. I've obviously taken
- 37:10Speaker 2: my eye off the ball in sometimes.
- 37:12Speaker 3: I bet you you've heard his music and you didn't
- 37:15Speaker 3: realize it, Like there's a there's a lot of them
- 37:19Speaker 3: have exploded and mostly I think I think it can
- 37:22Speaker 3: be all down to Yellowstone. I think it is probably
- 37:23Speaker 3: the reason why country this is.
- 37:25Speaker 2: So we'll give them that Tom. This segment is called
- 37:28Speaker 2: we Remember when we are going to take a look
- 37:30Speaker 2: back over our forty odd years on this planet, in
- 37:33Speaker 2: particularly in this country and Tom, I've obviously taken my
- 37:36Speaker 2: eye off the ball over the last twenty Can you
- 37:38Speaker 2: tell me please, how has country music gotten.
- 37:41Speaker 4: So big in Ireland over the last twenty years.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Well, it's it's exploded. We need to kind of take
- 37:46Speaker 3: a compartmentalized the situation here. Of course, there was there
- 37:52Speaker 3: was a period of I suppose I remember we're out
- 37:55Speaker 3: in a hunting camping trip before, and I always like
- 37:58Speaker 3: country music. But then again, like I would have Metallica
- 38:01Speaker 3: playing like you know what I mean, and also you
- 38:03Speaker 3: know I have Metallica, then Winnie Nelson like and then
- 38:07Speaker 3: Pitbull do you know, yes, just and.
- 38:09Speaker 2: It must be said up their way as well, we
- 38:11Speaker 2: love country music as well, and I love it declines
- 38:14Speaker 2: and the you know, the George Joneses of this world
- 38:18Speaker 2: and the Marty Robbins like, you know, we all love
- 38:20Speaker 2: our country and indeed our Western tom But yeah, like
- 38:25Speaker 2: why you weren't filling stadiums?
- 38:27Speaker 3: No, you weren't. You weren't you weren't. Right, there was
- 38:30Speaker 3: a period there, we'll say, maybe ten years ago, right,
- 38:32Speaker 3: but there was almost a kind of a shame factor
- 38:34Speaker 3: where they came, oh, you know, like Lion Danson and
- 38:38Speaker 3: what I did. Yeah, but so but I kind of
- 38:41Speaker 3: never really you know, I like my pickup truck when
- 38:44Speaker 3: I had it, but you know what I mean, it
- 38:45Speaker 3: wasn't you know, it was just I is what he
- 38:47Speaker 3: is now. That's not me saying I was country before
- 38:51Speaker 3: and country, but there was an element of not his
- 38:57Speaker 3: shame is the wrong word. But something happened, and I
- 39:01Speaker 3: think possibly has helped with a few scenarios in say
- 39:04Speaker 3: the last inside that last ten years where like said
- 39:08Speaker 3: Garth Brooks came back during his four or five nights
- 39:12Speaker 3: at you know in in Krok Park after the failure
- 39:16Speaker 3: of the time before where he said, well if I
- 39:18Speaker 3: ain't doing five, I'm not doing four. Like so I
- 39:21Speaker 3: think that might have been a spark. And genuinely I
- 39:23Speaker 3: think there has been a worldwide uptick in country apparel,
- 39:30Speaker 3: country style thinking, country style talking. And I swear to
- 39:34Speaker 3: god I joked about it talking with people before. And
- 39:37Speaker 3: it was a radio about a year ago. When I'm
- 39:39Speaker 3: putting it down the timeline, it it runs in conjunction
- 39:44Speaker 3: with Yellowstone. It really does like Carhart jackets, you know, beards,
- 39:49Speaker 3: cowboy hats, wearing fucking wranglers and brown boots. Do you
- 39:52Speaker 3: know this kind of crack seems to have be and
- 39:55Speaker 3: one lean to hand, and then these stars just seemed
- 39:58Speaker 3: to beco glowobally and globe by globally. Social media is
- 40:03Speaker 3: what brings it. And they were always going to be
- 40:04Speaker 3: big in America because you've grand Ole Opera, You've naturally
- 40:07Speaker 3: the whole.
- 40:07Speaker 2: South, You've got America's money.
- 40:09Speaker 3: So you've got Morgan Wallen probably the biggest, biggest you've
- 40:13Speaker 3: never heard of, I can tell by your face, right,
- 40:16Speaker 3: the biggest, probably the biggest song that has ever been
- 40:18Speaker 3: on Spotify. It's into the billions now, it's into over
- 40:21Speaker 3: a billion place by Morgan Wallen, by Morgan Wallen. And
- 40:25Speaker 3: there's a bunch more of these guys. Zach Brian, he'd
- 40:27Speaker 3: be country, but he's a bit kind.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Of Flake's who. That's who I thought Luke Comb's was.
- 40:31Speaker 2: When I saw Luke Comb's selling outlay and I was like,
- 40:34Speaker 2: all right, because I remember Luke Comb sold out the
- 40:36Speaker 2: Phoenix Park a couple of years ago. No, we didn't, right,
- 40:40Speaker 2: Zach Brian did. And I was like, there's of these lads,
- 40:44Speaker 2: there's a two of them are selling seven hundred thousand
- 40:47Speaker 2: tickets in Ireland.
- 40:48Speaker 3: But so we'll come, we'll we'll park out for where
- 40:51Speaker 3: it is. Country music is hot right now and it's
- 40:54Speaker 3: it's the thing that brings seems to bring people together,
- 40:57Speaker 3: that there's always going to be a genre of something
- 40:59Speaker 3: that brings me together. And I would say it's not exclusive.
- 41:03Speaker 3: I would imagine two country folk, but it definitely does
- 41:07Speaker 3: lend itself to country folk, do you know what I mean?
- 41:10Speaker 3: And there are outside of the cities, the largest population
- 41:13Speaker 3: in Europe per head of capital of rural people.
- 41:17Speaker 2: In rural people.
- 41:18Speaker 3: Rural people now, I mean rural can spread. I'm short
- 41:21Speaker 3: of villages and small towns and stuff like that. But
- 41:23Speaker 3: you jump back thirty years there where there was a
- 41:26Speaker 3: gap when it kind of fell off a cliff. Wait,
- 41:30Speaker 3: I'm guessing dance music maybe took it out of the
- 41:32Speaker 3: youths a zeitgeist, but you had, like I previously mentioned,
- 41:36Speaker 3: Garth Brooks.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Let me tell let's talk about him for just a
- 41:39Speaker 2: lets second, okay, because this one I do remember. I
- 41:41Speaker 2: remember when Garth Brooks exploded onto the scene in the
- 41:44Speaker 2: late eighties early nineties. I got friends in low places
- 41:48Speaker 2: and like that caused more of a store in rural
- 41:53Speaker 2: Monaghan than any other artist I've ever say, saying it's
- 41:56Speaker 2: like this was more than the impact of point Oays
- 41:58Speaker 2: has showed up for fucking Michael Jackson.
- 42:00Speaker 4: Or anyone like this.
- 42:01Speaker 2: All of a sudden, it was like the country music
- 42:03Speaker 2: that we love, that we danced to out weddings, that
- 42:05Speaker 2: our mom and dads love. But now it's kind of
- 42:08Speaker 2: it's kind of cool, and it's big stadiums and he's
- 42:11Speaker 2: popping up out of the stage and big busting guitars
- 42:14Speaker 2: and yeah, busting guitars and he's roorn and it's it's
- 42:17Speaker 2: like it's it's like I think it was the first
- 42:19Speaker 2: time we'd ever seen like an MTV music video for
- 42:22Speaker 2: a country song. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like of the
- 42:26Speaker 2: production levels of Aerosmith and shit like this, only it's
- 42:29Speaker 2: a country song. It stand in the far yeah, like
- 42:32Speaker 2: you know, and that was like such big shit in
- 42:37Speaker 2: like the early nineties in ourland. I remember that, we
- 42:39Speaker 2: remember that, we lived through it, and fuck if it's
- 42:42Speaker 2: not background.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Again, it's one hundred percent background again. And it's nearly
- 42:46Speaker 3: they've kind of gone. But you know where if there
- 42:48Speaker 3: was you know, pump and makeup and big shoulder pads
- 42:52Speaker 3: in the nineties kind of version, now it seems to
- 42:54Speaker 3: be the kind of strip back, gritty everyday blue color,
- 42:57Speaker 3: genuine blue color kind of fella like, yeah, Luke Combs
- 43:00Speaker 3: is wearing you know, like a workman short. Do you
- 43:03Speaker 3: know he looks like the fella that's pulling the exhaust
- 43:06Speaker 3: off your car, right, he genuinely does. He looks like
- 43:09Speaker 3: he's just after launching the front wheels of a John
- 43:12Speaker 3: Deere sixty two ten. And he might go for a
- 43:15Speaker 3: few pints of the weekend and got more junior bee
- 43:18Speaker 3: playing on Sunday and might even fall in himself playing goals.
- 43:21Speaker 3: Do you know he looks rough as fuck like a lad?
- 43:23Speaker 3: He looks like he looks like a lad, and that,
- 43:27Speaker 3: you know. And then you've got Zach Bryant who was
- 43:29Speaker 3: genuinely came from poverty and was in the Marines and
- 43:34Speaker 3: smokes faggs on stage, you know, and things like I'm
- 43:39Speaker 3: not not condoning faggs, but like faggs, you know, Oh no,
- 43:42Speaker 3: they don't exist, don't you know? There was this whole
- 43:44Speaker 3: kind of thing where things were the realness of a
- 43:47Speaker 3: human shouldn't exist on stage. You should look like a
- 43:50Speaker 3: Pantomam character nearly where people believe you're bigger and more
- 43:53Speaker 3: special than you are. But when you see a fella
- 43:55Speaker 3: with the sleeves cut off his T shirt and a
- 43:57Speaker 3: couple of shy tattoos he got when he was abroad,
- 44:00Speaker 3: you know, in service, smoking effect and singing our very
- 44:03Speaker 3: good song and all means some very very good songs.
- 44:06Speaker 3: With Dermott Kennedy backing it up. For the Irish coming
- 44:08Speaker 3: out on stage with him, you're going, Oh Jesus Christ,
- 44:12Speaker 3: it is back and now like everything, like everything. If
- 44:17Speaker 3: there's a fucking snowball running down the hill, there'll be
- 44:20Speaker 3: some fuck ready to sell merch in the shape of go.
- 44:23Speaker 2: You know. I'm just looking at a picture of Luke
- 44:25Speaker 2: Combs here and he looks like fucking Larry the cable guy.
- 44:27Speaker 3: He does yeah, only a big version of him, like
- 44:29Speaker 3: yeah he had. He has this bit where he it's
- 44:34Speaker 3: in the middle of a song called It's about drinking
- 44:37Speaker 3: beer for sure, you know, and he does we we could,
- 44:40Speaker 3: and there's a line in it where where we shot
- 44:44Speaker 3: let's shotgun one. You know the shotgun again, you crack
- 44:46Speaker 3: the bottom of it and you you know you've done
- 44:47Speaker 3: it many of the time. I'm sure we've done it together.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Success.
- 44:51Speaker 3: No, sure, there is no success in it like regards
- 44:53Speaker 3: even if it gets all in your mouth, you're like, well,
- 44:54Speaker 3: that was a waste to fucking have tasty beer. But anyway,
- 44:58Speaker 3: the first night he had Arne Noon come out in
- 45:01Speaker 3: the middle of the song, Garden, I don't even know
- 45:04Speaker 3: if he's much of a drinker, but the putt again
- 45:06Speaker 3: a couple of inness in his hand. He took a
- 45:07Speaker 3: sip of it. But what I love is Garden went
- 45:10Speaker 3: through the motions. I don't think he drinks like and
- 45:12Speaker 3: he went through the motions. He had the big male
- 45:14Speaker 3: jersey on him and it's great. But then he did
- 45:16Speaker 3: it on Sunday night and uh for former former rugby
- 45:22Speaker 3: player Rory Best, who was known to be a fairly
- 45:25Speaker 3: loosey goosey when he got got the pintes on him,
- 45:27Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be a right good man for
- 45:29Speaker 3: a session, by fuck, he nearly fucking sucked the kind
- 45:33Speaker 3: inside out. When he came out, he wasn't messing her best.
- 45:37Speaker 3: He gave it a good fucking hide and like he
- 45:39Speaker 3: looked a part two, you know what I mean. But
- 45:43Speaker 3: I'm like, it's it's now. It's almost like it's funny
- 45:49Speaker 3: to see it because I've seen the two. I've seen
- 45:51Speaker 3: the gap of shame where there was no country music
- 45:53Speaker 3: and the mains you had Irish stars all right playing
- 45:56Speaker 3: to Oh we're doing fine, doing very well. And I've
- 45:58Speaker 3: talked about it on this scene, almost the underworld of
- 46:00Speaker 3: country music in hotels and dance halls while I was
- 46:04Speaker 3: gigging in other places. But yeah, there was the Garth
- 46:07Speaker 3: Brooks huge gap, and now it's back. It's almost like
- 46:11Speaker 3: dare I say it? And the people that fucking I
- 46:14Speaker 3: am going to say it anyway, and you won't find
- 46:17Speaker 3: many other people making this comparison on a podcast, but
- 46:21Speaker 3: it's almost like the Pride coming out, if you know
- 46:24Speaker 3: what I mean. There's now a casting off of the
- 46:26Speaker 3: shame where it's like, oh no, we all we you
- 46:28Speaker 3: love it right? I love it too? Oh yeah, I
- 46:31Speaker 3: love you like silace and I like silence. We should
- 46:34Speaker 3: totally sing along to this guy who's talking about having
- 46:39Speaker 3: a truck.
- 46:39Speaker 2: And famously shy and retiring country people finally have a voice.
- 46:44Speaker 3: You know, But you say it like that, like it's
- 46:48Speaker 3: it's easy to take the narrative of what would be
- 46:50Speaker 3: deemed urban people got fucking culties, like what the fuck
- 46:54Speaker 3: you know? Like there's there has to be something to
- 46:56Speaker 3: a representative for everybody, like and it would That's what
- 46:59Speaker 3: I see if if I stood back from way back
- 47:01Speaker 3: and zoomed way back out to the plant, That's what
- 47:03Speaker 3: I'm looking at. But country music has always been big
- 47:07Speaker 3: an Ireland for good reason. Jar they like, if you
- 47:11Speaker 3: really went back into it, country music has not just
- 47:16Speaker 3: Ireland but Ireland to thank for a lot of its creation. Yeah,
- 47:20Speaker 3: because I've asked this question before, I could never understand
- 47:23Speaker 3: the like they like now they love country music in
- 47:25Speaker 3: the Netherlands, they love it, in Germany, they love it.
- 47:27Speaker 3: In England, Scotland especially they love it. I was like,
- 47:31Speaker 3: why why do they love it? And they don't love
- 47:33Speaker 3: say ballet, do you know what I mean? They don't
- 47:36Speaker 3: love classic classical like what is that? And you see
- 47:40Speaker 3: then like the lad's up the north are buying like
- 47:43Speaker 3: you know, bullnos, fucking mac trucks to just look American
- 47:47Speaker 3: and just putting on America. What is it? And it's
- 47:51Speaker 3: the country music was developed and create, not created, but
- 47:55Speaker 3: it came about organically in the likes of the Virginia Hills,
- 47:59Speaker 3: the Appalachian Mountains and stuff like that, where would have
- 48:03Speaker 3: had an awful of Scots and Irish. Now the argument
- 48:06Speaker 3: is for Hillbilly would have been the Scottish that actually
- 48:09Speaker 3: went there first. Who would have been Willemites of you know,
- 48:13Speaker 3: followers of the Lights of King William or what not.
- 48:16Speaker 2: It was another name for them.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Tom just gonna. I don't know Jared's I think we've
- 48:21Speaker 3: used upper quota already in the fourth second of this show.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Boy, he's given credit to the orangeman.
- 48:28Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I'm not because it's it would argue
- 48:33Speaker 3: like they argue, like if you look at how many
- 48:36Speaker 3: like I don't know enough about music to really decide
- 48:38Speaker 3: for this properly, but speaking to people that do, it's
- 48:41Speaker 3: the cadence and the speed and the bountiness of Yeah,
- 48:45Speaker 3: the original country music Ken Now there was influences from
- 48:49Speaker 3: Africans to African American slaves that were brought in and
- 48:52Speaker 3: people who were freed and stuff who had their own
- 48:54Speaker 3: bluesy style. It's normally, I like, the best stuff comes
- 48:58Speaker 3: from people that are fucking impoverished to get there typically,
- 49:01Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like what else to do? Like,
- 49:06Speaker 3: you know, so if you know, you look at the
- 49:09Speaker 3: how stand up comedy came about you know, would have
- 49:11Speaker 3: been people that came out of Italian Irish Jewish neighborhoods
- 49:14Speaker 3: in New York who had full really like you know,
- 49:18Speaker 3: and it's same like the fiddle is still the fiddle
- 49:20Speaker 3: in Ireland, and it's this fiddle in country music. It's
- 49:23Speaker 3: not called the violin, even though it is a violin.
- 49:26Speaker 3: It's just how it's fucking played, That's the simple thing
- 49:28Speaker 3: of it. But there would have been there would have
- 49:30Speaker 3: been mixtures in from Scott's, Irish and African Americans to
- 49:37Speaker 3: create this, but it would have been a lot of
- 49:39Speaker 3: people who could perpetrate it. Would have been like they
- 49:42Speaker 3: found after World War Two, apparently when country music was
- 49:45Speaker 3: being sent back to Ireland along with rock and roll,
- 49:48Speaker 3: I guess at the time and stuff like that. Country
- 49:51Speaker 3: just when Gangbosters in Ireland. Hank Williams would have been there.
- 49:57Speaker 3: I mean, I remember like tapes of Charlie Price, you know,
- 50:00Speaker 3: the crystal chandelier being in the Outlands car, like you know,
- 50:03Speaker 3: he's playing and he's just fucking playing it like you're
- 50:05Speaker 3: listening to Charlie Bright, whether you're liking or that. You know,
- 50:08Speaker 3: Hank Williams, some of the saide this music. I'm so lonesome,
- 50:12Speaker 3: I could die. You want to tune. But they sang
- 50:16Speaker 3: about things that seemed to I guess maybe for repressed
- 50:19Speaker 3: Ireland at the time. You know, Family Farman, Artbreak God,
- 50:25Speaker 3: the Indians. Yeah, you know, like they had all the
- 50:29Speaker 3: they had all the recipe that it would seem irish
- 50:33Speaker 3: people wanted to listen to at the time, and it
- 50:35Speaker 3: was those particular things. There was nobody talking about how
- 50:38Speaker 3: he pulled all the women. An absolute legend, you know,
- 50:42Speaker 3: like you even go back and anybody wants to go
- 50:44Speaker 3: and understand our our our deep rooted love for Dolly Parton,
- 50:49Speaker 3: you can go and find our beatification of Dolly Parton episode.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Way back in.
- 50:53Speaker 3: That woman had nothing and she grew up in the
- 50:56Speaker 3: smoking Tennessee Hills. You know, she was like if you
- 51:00Speaker 3: wrote down the points that you needed from a country star.
- 51:04Speaker 3: She had all of the background, the intelligence, you know,
- 51:07Speaker 3: she had, the heartbreak, she had, you know, all of
- 51:09Speaker 3: those things was two more. I'm going to leave that
- 51:13Speaker 3: with you.
- 51:15Speaker 2: So it was it so all all that you fast
- 51:18Speaker 2: forward twenty thirty years now and all of a sudden
- 51:20Speaker 2: you have Luke Combs putting forward that he's going to
- 51:24Speaker 2: sell one hundred and ninety thousand tickets to slain in
- 51:27Speaker 2: County Meade and everybody's like, yeah, no problem, sounds reasonable.
- 51:31Speaker 2: Third night waiting for you there if you want.
- 51:32Speaker 3: You see, this is the thing, And I think it
- 51:35Speaker 3: never went away. Its slapping some people in the face,
- 51:38Speaker 3: like what the fuck. But that period that I talked about,
- 51:40Speaker 3: that was almost the shame period of when nobody was
- 51:42Speaker 3: blauring it out the fucking you know, nobody was driving
- 51:45Speaker 3: down the driving on a Connell Street like with the
- 51:48Speaker 3: crystal chandeliers Blairing likened like. But it was kept taking
- 51:53Speaker 3: over by very successful country stars in Ireland and people
- 52:00Speaker 3: we'll forget about this like people, and I say successful,
- 52:02Speaker 3: not on a global level. But I'm telling you now, Jar,
- 52:05Speaker 3: I've been doing the gig in the smaller room when
- 52:08Speaker 3: a country star you may or may not have heard of,
- 52:12Speaker 3: just pulled in with a fucking Metallica sized fucking tour
- 52:14Speaker 3: buses a rig behind it and maybe ten staff and
- 52:18Speaker 3: another fucking six in the band and they're filling the
- 52:21Speaker 3: ballroom of two people playing fifteen Blaney yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 52:27Speaker 3: quite literally playing the Glenn, Karen and Blaney and I'm
- 52:29Speaker 3: playing the small room around the corner to sixty people.
- 52:32Speaker 2: Like, now here's what I'm going to say. It in
- 52:34Speaker 2: a controversial but here we are. Oh Jesus, I think
- 52:38Speaker 2: we we must not also downplay when you say that
- 52:42Speaker 2: whole shame period of twenty odd years that you couldn't.
- 52:45Speaker 4: Get you know, you had to play country music in
- 52:47Speaker 4: the hedges music.
- 52:52Speaker 2: We have to let this point state that Taylor Swift, well.
- 52:56Speaker 3: Yeah, cree artist she was, yeah, yeah, yeah's always my
- 52:59Speaker 3: desirous suppose well for the.
- 53:01Speaker 2: For the for the longest of times, before they really
- 53:03Speaker 2: went full pop, full stadium, full the whole lot and
- 53:06Speaker 2: became the artists that they are now. They were and
- 53:11Speaker 2: they were country stars singing country music. It's a lot story.
- 53:15Speaker 2: You maybe just say yes, I mean, that's a that's
- 53:17Speaker 2: a country song all day.
- 53:19Speaker 3: I suppose yeah, yeah, And there is there is an
- 53:21Speaker 3: element that had to maybe change evolve with the way
- 53:25Speaker 3: the world was and the way the youth was. Their
- 53:27Speaker 3: stuff had to evolve. And they don't get me wrong,
- 53:30Speaker 3: it didn't go away like it just it dampened down
- 53:33Speaker 3: a bit here. But like you're looking at something like
- 53:36Speaker 3: Toby Keith, who was selling, you know, selling out Madison
- 53:38Speaker 3: Square Gardens when he wouldn't sell care house here. Do
- 53:42Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
- 53:43Speaker 2: You know, it's it's it's it's it's It's like when
- 53:45Speaker 2: it's like the biggest stars that we had over here,
- 53:47Speaker 2: like even at the height of the Watis and whatnot,
- 53:50Speaker 2: to go over to America and they won't sell shit,
- 53:52Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's just curious how it works.
- 53:53Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, now Tom, we appear to be
- 53:56Speaker 2: on the crest of the wave of country music success.
- 53:59Speaker 2: It can only be a matter of time before mister
- 54:01Speaker 2: Brooks comes back from another handful of gigs.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Would you say, oh, he's yeah, I would say he no,
- 54:06Speaker 3: he like he will be back here. He will for
- 54:09Speaker 3: folk's sake, of course he'll be back here. I mean
- 54:12Speaker 3: he can say it's not for the money, but but
- 54:14Speaker 3: you know.
- 54:14Speaker 2: We ain't doing it for the charity either, Buddy, he's
- 54:17Speaker 2: not here. Have you now to say on the country
- 54:18Speaker 2: music revival there that we've witnessed in our time or
- 54:20Speaker 2: share we wrapped this baby up?
- 54:21Speaker 3: Oh no, I think there. I mean, if revival, I
- 54:24Speaker 3: think it was built on the shoulders of great people
- 54:26Speaker 3: here in Ireland. If you're going to talk about country
- 54:28Speaker 3: music because not to unlike probably a relation to yours,
- 54:31Speaker 3: Big Tom.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Do you know he's not a relation theres but he
- 54:34Speaker 2: is only up the road. Yeah, somebody got to him.
- 54:36Speaker 2: There's more McBride's live around me than I'm.
- 54:37Speaker 4: Not related to.
- 54:38Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, that's there's a mental and none of
- 54:41Speaker 2: us are related to each other at all. Just whatever
- 54:44Speaker 2: weave up bounced I did.
- 54:46Speaker 3: Once and it was it told me that country was
- 54:49Speaker 3: still big in Ireland when because I suppose you're not
- 54:52Speaker 3: mixing with people, especially when we when we lived in
- 54:54Speaker 3: Dublin to two of us, like for the longest time,
- 54:56Speaker 3: you're not mixed with people that talk about it or
- 54:57Speaker 3: go to it and stuff like that, so it's easy
- 54:59Speaker 3: to forget about it. But I remember doing the warm
- 55:01Speaker 3: up for the Lately Show Country special. Yes, and I've
- 55:06Speaker 3: done maybe twenty of them at this stage, and they
- 55:08Speaker 3: were all, you know, grand gigs. I made them all
- 55:13Speaker 3: right because I was long enough in the tooth to
- 55:15Speaker 3: know what I was dealing with. But an absolute horror
- 55:18Speaker 3: gig if you were trying to do stand up at
- 55:19Speaker 3: him like you know what I mean, I'm yeah, but
- 55:22Speaker 3: fuck me. I have to say the warm up for
- 55:26Speaker 3: the Country Special was some crack easy. They were fucking
- 55:32Speaker 3: up for it and they didn't give a shit. Their
- 55:35Speaker 3: favorite people, Filhemina Begley was going to be rolled out.
- 55:38Speaker 3: I don't think Daniel made an appearance, but Margo was
- 55:41Speaker 3: rolled out, Nathan Carter was rolled out, John Mike Denver
- 55:45Speaker 3: was rolled out. You know, they had them all rolled
- 55:47Speaker 3: out and people were just fucking hopping after like they
- 55:52Speaker 3: were already. It was like up for the match. These
- 55:54Speaker 3: people were fucking buzzing. They were levitating off the seats
- 55:57Speaker 3: and like imagine if I could saying and I just
- 56:01Speaker 3: burst into you know, blaming all the my roots the
- 56:06Speaker 3: fucking place, what they would have ripped the roof off
- 56:08Speaker 3: fucking Dublin for that night. Like yeah, because you could
- 56:13Speaker 3: see why. You can see why people who can sing
- 56:15Speaker 3: or whatever fall in love with such a situation, Because
- 56:18Speaker 3: dare I say, if you have a couple of the
- 56:20Speaker 3: recipes you're you know you can Nathan Carter, you can
- 56:23Speaker 3: sing that fuckers has He doesn't sing in fucking Liverpool.
- 56:27Speaker 3: He's from Liverpool, lives here, makes a fortune here because
- 56:31Speaker 3: he's got the look. He's really good at singing other
- 56:34Speaker 3: people's songs, and that's that's it. That's it. There's not
- 56:37Speaker 3: a lot of banter on him. To be honest, the
- 56:39Speaker 3: banter levels fairly poor. He's got the two things you need.
- 56:44Speaker 3: He can sing about the wagon wheels and he's got.
- 56:47Speaker 4: A good look. That's it.
- 56:49Speaker 3: After that, it's fucking gravy.
- 56:52Speaker 4: You and I.
- 56:53Speaker 3: You know it, like if they're in the palm of
- 56:55Speaker 3: your hand. You haven't even written the fucking samjar, so
- 56:58Speaker 3: you know it's a safe bet you were singing some
- 57:00Speaker 3: other for that song. Like you know, what's your man's name, Travis, No,
- 57:06Speaker 3: I can't remember his name. That that rocker something rocker.
- 57:09Speaker 3: That the wagon wheel He must be laughing all the
- 57:11Speaker 3: way to the foot gone, keep going, keep going, funny
- 57:15Speaker 3: Englishman in Ireland. This is fine by me. Keep going.
- 57:19Speaker 3: But typ of the cap those people they know when
- 57:22Speaker 3: they know when they like a thing.
- 57:24Speaker 4: Those people are there.
- 57:25Speaker 2: You go, and if you are one of the one
- 57:27Speaker 2: hundred and eighty odd thousand people that were at the
- 57:30Speaker 2: Luke Cumb's gig in Slain on Saturday and Sunday and
- 57:33Speaker 2: with our audience, Tom, it would be a safe better
- 57:36Speaker 2: those some of the salurgy.
- 57:37Speaker 3: It was a fair few, and I guarantee we would.
- 57:40Speaker 2: Like to hear from you in the comments on the
- 57:42Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry Show. At Tom and Jerry Show, Tom
- 57:45Speaker 2: with a T, Jerry with a G. Will get us
- 57:46Speaker 2: on Instagram, you'll find us elsewhere on Bluest Guy and
- 57:50Speaker 2: all that kind of good places. We had one question
- 57:52Speaker 2: in from a listener here from William Over on Instagram.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Ask Ques on the subject of music, would you like
- 57:58Speaker 2: to record and perform as a for the Eurovision. I
- 58:02Speaker 2: don't want to be like Winston from Ghostbusters, but if
- 58:04Speaker 2: there's a steady paycheck in and I'll sing aw gee, you.
- 58:07Speaker 3: Know what cher now, that would be a song.
- 58:10Speaker 2: I will say. The Eurovision in his current state actually
- 58:13Speaker 2: let me let me let me pull back on that
- 58:15Speaker 2: ever so slightly. Time the Eurovision is current state, seems
- 58:17Speaker 2: like it's no fucking crack whatsoever, with zero crack. It's
- 58:20Speaker 2: all easy back it was and it wasn't all it
- 58:24Speaker 2: wasn't so fucking rigged yea back in the day. Yeah,
- 58:29Speaker 2: I'll sing with the best of man.
- 58:30Speaker 3: I think we should. That's you know what, that's we
- 58:33Speaker 3: should write a song. We should write a song for Eurovision.
- 58:39Speaker 3: Come on, between the.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Two, which of us is going to do the music
- 58:42Speaker 2: time because it's not going to be me.

- 58:46Speaker 3: help will I think we should write a song and
- 58:49Speaker 3: we we join an actual musician who can help us
- 58:51Speaker 3: along the way. But we write. We look, there's a
- 58:54Speaker 3: handful of recipes, chre there's key changes, do you know
- 58:57Speaker 3: what I mean? We just look the recipe that's gone
- 58:59Speaker 3: down down to the years. You have to sing about,
- 59:01Speaker 3: you know, freedom for the world and something mythical wouldn't
- 59:05Speaker 3: be bad. I think we should really get into this,
- 59:08Speaker 3: like there's.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Nothing more medical than freedom for the world when you're
- 59:10Speaker 2: singing at the tell you that much. We'll get William,
- 59:13Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna tell you. We'll give it
- 59:15Speaker 2: our level, we'll give it our ghost.
- 59:17Speaker 3: I think we could Jerry could write a song, no problem.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Well not half asset, you know what I mean.
- 59:22Speaker 3: Yeah, you could write a song. You're great writer. You
- 59:24Speaker 3: could write a song, no problem, Jesus. Yeah. Well, we'll
- 59:27Speaker 3: find somebody with autotune that can help us sing.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Tom while I'm writing a Eurovision winning song because I'm
- 59:33Speaker 2: not going to it and not winning. While I'm writing
- 59:35Speaker 2: that song. What else do you want these fine folks
