1:59
Speaker 1: I'm just just just I'm gonna go. I'm gonna drive
2:03
Speaker 1: down and pull that nail out of your hand. But
2:06
Speaker 1: before that, we'll get this show on the road. How
2:08
Speaker 1: does that sound.
2:10
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
2:11
Speaker 1: And as there are loyal listeners and indeed the new
2:13
Speaker 1: folks of the podcast, how are you all keeping the
2:15
Speaker 1: Neil Thomas referring to as a fingernail that's been hanging

2:20
Speaker 1: There are indeed scrolled back through the face the Twitter post.
2:24
Speaker 1: If you want to see the goddamn thing back when

2:38
Speaker 1: Well there's no warning about this content.
2:40
Speaker 2: Oh my god, says.
2:45
Speaker 1: The only one thing I have is that it's good crack.
2:47
Speaker 1: Because every week, myself and this man Tom O, my honey,
2:49
Speaker 1: we take a look at the weekly news, the big
2:52
Speaker 1: happenings in the segment that we call the weekly what
2:55
Speaker 1: have You. This is a very complicated case, mad you know,
2:58

3:01
Speaker 1: lot of SCRAMs to keep in my head man.
3:05
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, weekly what have you? This week we rolled
3:08
Speaker 2: and we find ourselves rolling back kind of into this
3:12
Speaker 2: genre every so often, but I think there's no shining
3:16
Speaker 2: away from the fact that s DC are Yes, back
3:20
Speaker 2: on the trail, They're back A D. I was under
3:26
Speaker 2: the impression that Ryan Johnson had been shelved because his
3:29
Speaker 2: hearing was gone.
3:30
Speaker 1: Well, more on that in a second. All right, now, DC,
3:33
Speaker 1: by the time you folks listen to this episode, it'll
3:36
Speaker 1: be Thursday when it drops. You may listen to it
3:38
Speaker 1: on Friday. You might listen to it on Saturday. And
3:41
Speaker 1: Saturday is when ac DC returned to Dublin to play
3:44
Speaker 1: Croke Park in a sold out show that I will
3:47
Speaker 1: be in attendance with my young man, taking him to
3:50
Speaker 1: a rock and.
3:50
Speaker 2: Roll, bringing the young float.
3:54
Speaker 1: And we've been bringing him up to speed on the
3:56
Speaker 1: A C d C's of this day, and got me
4:00
Speaker 1: thinking that if that is indeed the weekly, what have you,
4:02
Speaker 1: ac DC, if you are there, buy me a drink
4:06
Speaker 1: by the pretty young back of Crisps.
4:09
Speaker 2: No, no, by both of them, A point wink gear wink, Yeah,
4:13
Speaker 2: I'll hold his.
4:15
Speaker 1: Not go bad. And yes. Brian Johnson, the lead singer
4:20
Speaker 1: of A C d C, was in ill health a
4:22
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and he had to take a
4:24
Speaker 1: he had to take some time off where the bat
4:26
Speaker 1: on was passed to Axel Rose to get up there
4:28
Speaker 1: and sing a whole lot of Rosie. Yeah, a whole
4:31
Speaker 1: lot of Axle rosie if you world home. But then
4:35
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson decided he was in good health and he's
4:37
Speaker 1: back fronting ac DC with Angus and the Boys for
4:40
Speaker 1: good or for illed.
4:43
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. I saw an interview with him,
4:45
Speaker 2: and it kind of sounded like he was just turfed
4:48
Speaker 2: out for a bit. He didn't sound like he wanted
4:50
Speaker 2: to go whatever that was.
4:52
Speaker 1: He didn't want He didn't want to go, but he
4:54
Speaker 1: had to go. He couldn't hear. Tommy went deaf. He
4:56
Speaker 1: went like rock death.
4:57
Speaker 2: Did he has he got that kind of money? Jared,
5:00
Speaker 2: There's no just thing as deft if if you know
5:02
Speaker 2: what I mean, I think he have. They put a
5:05
Speaker 2: new thing inside his head, like new set of ear
5:07
Speaker 2: drums in his.
5:08
Speaker 1: Head, genuinely, tom And I'm not being smart. He might
5:11
Speaker 1: have one of those like little implants on the side
5:13
Speaker 1: of his head. I don't know, find to watch him
5:16
Speaker 1: find head of curly.
5:17
Speaker 2: Hair all the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he could hide it,
5:19
Speaker 2: but it was I'd be under the impression he probably
5:22
Speaker 2: has donor ear drums, you know what I mean. So
5:25
Speaker 2: like Larry Hagman got a liver, a spare of liver
5:28
Speaker 2: inside three days when he needed him.
5:31
Speaker 1: The vice president Dick Cheney, he's on like his fifth
5:33
Speaker 1: heart at this stage.
5:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. You know when you got
5:37
Speaker 2: that kind of money, that stuff shows up.
5:39
Speaker 1: You know, medical issues are not an issue. But anyway,
5:41
Speaker 1: a c DC are back. I will report next week
5:44
Speaker 1: and let you know how you get on. But I've
5:45
Speaker 1: seen some videos of them playing in Wembley and uh
5:49
Speaker 1: uh to borrow a phrase from Moneyball when questions if
5:53
Speaker 1: the bat speed is still there.
5:56
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing I will I saw because you know,
5:59
Speaker 2: they pop my feet. Because I've been a long term,
6:01
Speaker 2: long time fan of him and Jesus Christ. It was
6:05
Speaker 2: like watching that movie The Irishman. It was like, what
6:08
Speaker 2: this is right, It'll be another thing if it was
6:11
Speaker 2: David Gray. Do you know you go okay? Owl? David
6:14
Speaker 2: Gray is the same as young David Gray, non moving,
6:17
Speaker 2: non animated.
6:18
Speaker 1: Tina Turner could go to get out and sing up
6:21
Speaker 1: to you know her very latest days because you know
6:24
Speaker 1: what you'at the Franklin, I beg your pardon, not Tina Turner.
6:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tina, exactly. The whels were coming off there, you know,
6:30
Speaker 2: big wheels kept on turning. Unfortunately they including the point
6:35
Speaker 2: and the same thing seems to have happened to the
6:37
Speaker 2: bodies and Jesus Christ, I'm not holding that again, but
6:42
Speaker 2: when that's your selling point, like Angus, Mother of God, sure.
6:46
Speaker 1: Like late seventies is the age range what we're looking
6:49
Speaker 1: at here, and really and truly and I'm looking forward
6:51
Speaker 1: to the show, and so is the we Man. We're
6:53
Speaker 1: going to have an absolute great time. But it really
6:55
Speaker 1: does look like an aging rock or skip from the Simpsons.
6:59
Speaker 1: I mean that does.
6:59
Speaker 2: But then again, as you talk about Axl Rose, like,
7:02
Speaker 2: I mean, he was there singing the national anthem the
7:04
Speaker 2: other day in America, and I was you're expecting, like
7:07
Speaker 2: you know, November reigns. We child of mind is born
7:12
Speaker 2: into your memory of the standard you expect, and then
7:21
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ like like you see old boxers, you know
7:24
Speaker 2: what I mean, they're going like, you know, they can't
7:26
Speaker 2: throw the haymakers anymore, so they just kind of got
7:29
Speaker 2: to tap around and stay out of trouble. Like Floyd
7:31
Speaker 2: Madeweather was the king of that, like just stay out.
7:33
Speaker 2: Whatever happens happens, you know, taking on points if needs be,
7:37
Speaker 2: money in the bank, out the gap, and you can
7:39
Speaker 2: see that with their voices, like they'll go for the
7:41
Speaker 2: hell and all of a sudden, it's like Jesus Christ,
7:44
Speaker 2: I need to it's pulling off after the moon. We're
7:46
Speaker 2: here for a second.
7:47
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have boots for this hike anymore.
7:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like there's a junction fourteen halfway up there, because that's.
7:54
Speaker 1: That's what we wanted to talk to the final listeners
7:56
Speaker 1: of this show about today, Tom. Yes, we're ACDCR and
8:00
Speaker 1: that is the weekly what have you. But as usual,
8:01
Speaker 1: these things are just jumping off point to a wider discussion.
8:04
Speaker 1: And we've already mentioned two of the bands in question,
8:07
Speaker 1: ACDC and Guns and Roses. These were part of the
8:12
Speaker 1: like click of bands, if you will. They weren't pals,
8:16
Speaker 1: they weren't friends or anything like that, but they just
8:17
Speaker 1: came in a wave in one go in our formative years, Tom,
8:22
Speaker 1: in the mid to late eighties, early to mid nineties
8:26
Speaker 1: of this wave of later on in life, they would
8:31
Speaker 1: become known as hair metal bands.
8:33
Speaker 2: Well even here, yeah, like swept Ireland.
8:36
Speaker 1: Like it's just held it in like a denim clad rasp.
8:41
Speaker 2: Well, I mean there was the hair metal I still
8:45
Speaker 2: because the ones that lasted, like the Metallicas and the ACDC,
8:49
Speaker 2: they managed it. They evolved, and they evolved to the
8:52
Speaker 2: mid nineties where hair metal was just falling back like
8:54
Speaker 2: some lads like David Lee Roth and White Snake, you
8:57
Speaker 2: know what I mean, and Steel Dragons, they were still
9:00
Speaker 2: I'd say, you'd still find the boys in a pair
9:01
Speaker 2: of letter letter trousers, you know what I mean. Whereas yes,
9:04
Speaker 2: the likes of you know, the Metallicas and stuff cut
9:08
Speaker 2: down here, you know, and they kind of went, Listen,
9:11
Speaker 2: things are changing, and they got to haircut and a
9:14
Speaker 2: style that go this will kind of stick around us,
9:17
Speaker 2: and this will stay. And I think I think even
9:20
Speaker 2: Axl Rose did it too. And and ay they got
9:23
Speaker 2: to that point where it was like, we can't be
9:24
Speaker 2: carrying on like that no more.
9:26
Speaker 1: Axl Rose and Guns and Roses. It must be said,
9:28
Speaker 1: like they did like a Captain America. They went into
9:31
Speaker 1: frozen stasis for twenty years, like they broke up and
9:35
Speaker 1: fucked off, and then they all came back together. I
9:37
Speaker 1: mean there was well Slash one stage, Guns and Roses
9:40
Speaker 1: was just a Guns and Roses tribute band with Axl
9:42
Speaker 1: Rose is the lead singer.
9:43
Speaker 2: But Sure was like Triggers. You know triggers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
9:46
Speaker 2: like you know, the same brush, but it changed the
9:48
Speaker 2: head in the handle fourteen times.
9:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:50
Speaker 2: But but I tell you what what's smart is you
9:52
Speaker 2: get somebody like Slash who picks a look at the
9:55
Speaker 2: very beginning of his career, sleeveless T shirt, big outstup
10:00
Speaker 2: hat and the big curly wig under, big curly head
10:02
Speaker 2: of hair wig and a pair of glasses in a fag. Sure,
10:07
Speaker 2: my own lad could dress up a Slash now and
10:09
Speaker 2: go and pull it off in his seventies. You know
10:12
Speaker 2: it's it's a great look, and you can you can
10:15
Speaker 2: hide behind it for a long time, like you know,
10:18
Speaker 2: Angus and the school boy thing. Not sure what's going
10:21
Speaker 2: on there. You know what, the hair gets wispy and
10:23
Speaker 2: gray and has poked out the side, and you're doing
10:25
Speaker 2: the kind of a leg out, kind of hop bunny
10:29
Speaker 2: dog across the stage.
10:31
Speaker 1: And I'll let you know how we get on. I mean,
10:33
Speaker 1: like Tom, I love a CDC and I've been to
10:35
Speaker 1: see them before long term fan, but I might very
10:38
Speaker 1: well see them die on sord once.
10:41
Speaker 2: You know, that's the show to go to though, that's your.
10:44
Speaker 1: I thought this show would be longer, yes, or the
10:46
Speaker 1: liby Man. But then here's the thing. So I want
10:49
Speaker 1: to talk about this stranglehold that not quite heavy metal
10:55
Speaker 1: had on Ireland in the eighties time. Okay, so we're
10:58
Speaker 1: talking about there was for the longest time, there wasn't
11:01
Speaker 1: a tractor drawn syllage that wasn't Blair and.
11:03
Speaker 2: Bon Jovi all for sure, But but Jovi for me
11:06
Speaker 2: was a little It wasn't They weren't quite as edgy, no, and.
11:11
Speaker 1: And and there are degrees of edging. It's okay, So
11:14
Speaker 1: when when when when I say that Ireland went through
11:16
Speaker 1: a heavy metal phase, they weren't listening to Cannibal Corpse, you.
11:21
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
11:21
Speaker 1: We weren't listening to the proper like heavy metal. Was
11:26
Speaker 1: bon Jovi, Meatloaf, I mean one of the real some
11:31
Speaker 1: of the real metalers back up home and character like
11:35
Speaker 1: the real sort of heavy metalers into yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
11:39
Speaker 1: would have been Metallica and Tarra yeah yeah, Cantera maybe
11:43
Speaker 1: and and and you would see like Mega Death and
11:47
Speaker 1: Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden, I would put like Iron Iron
11:51
Speaker 1: maidens heavier than bon Jovi.
11:52
Speaker 2: Yes, I have, I have.
11:54
Speaker 1: Don't let anybody tell Tally that I said that bon
11:56
Speaker 1: Jovi and Iron Maiden were on the same thing. But
11:58
Speaker 1: at the same time it was this.
12:02
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:04
Speaker 1: There was music to well.
12:06
Speaker 2: I have. I actually have Bruce Dickinson's autograph, the lead
12:10
Speaker 2: singer of Iron Maiden. Yeah, he and he signed the
12:14
Speaker 2: inside of it. It was like an anthology book of
12:19
Speaker 2: Double O Seven's. I don't know how it came up.
12:21
Speaker 2: I don't know how gave it to me or how
12:23
Speaker 2: it came about. But he was flying for British Airways
12:25
Speaker 2: at the time. Oh he's he's a he's a he's
12:27
Speaker 2: like John Travolta. He's a registered commercial airline pier. Oh yeah,
12:31
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, but he was. He was actually flying from
12:33
Speaker 2: at the time for the crack, like he was still
12:34
Speaker 2: Iron Maiden. Like he pack up and go on tour
12:36
Speaker 2: for six months and then come back and start flying
12:38
Speaker 2: commercial planes. But but there was I do you know what,
12:42
Speaker 2: I tried to work it up because I was kind
12:44
Speaker 2: of like I was telling you before, I have foot
12:46
Speaker 2: in boat camps. I was a bit raver. I was
12:48
Speaker 2: a bit And then with the girls, my sisters went
12:52
Speaker 2: early nineties, they were in America for summer over the cousins,
12:55
Speaker 2: and they brought back like tapes of n w AA.
12:58
Speaker 2: Would you believe I mean I heard word on that
13:01
Speaker 2: tapeer or that that that radio in the parents in
13:04
Speaker 2: the kitchen.
13:04
Speaker 1: Yes, that I didn't know existed. But if you hadn't
13:07
Speaker 1: heard since you were picking teams in primary school.
13:10
Speaker 2: But to be fair, it was my head was starting
13:13
Speaker 2: to get turned at that point. But I do remember
13:15
Speaker 2: having a denim jacket that was given to me by
13:17
Speaker 2: a neighbor with album cover of bon Jovi's Slippery when
13:22
Speaker 2: Wet live in Philadelphia.
13:24
Speaker 1: No, no, you know what I mean. It's I mean
13:28
Speaker 1: and and and I don't know. I was let us
13:31
Speaker 1: know in the comments and in the in the in
13:34
Speaker 1: the chit or chatter. What was your band in the
13:36
Speaker 1: eighties because you followed them. And I really feel like
13:38
Speaker 1: there's a very delicate balance of what it made it
13:40
Speaker 1: over to Ireland and what didn't. Deaf Leopard yes, White
13:45
Speaker 1: Snake yes, his kind.
13:47
Speaker 2: Of not really not really No, that's a good point.
13:51
Speaker 2: Kiss never really made it here.
13:54
Speaker 1: Like Hiss or Rush, or there'll be a couple of
13:57
Speaker 1: others that are big, like Stadium Rock, Motley Crue. I
14:01
Speaker 1: don't know ever a proper foot drill into.
14:06
Speaker 2: First term I heard the Motley Crue was Tommy Lee.
14:08
Speaker 2: The drummer had a huge wang and he was banging.
14:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do you call that out of the
14:14
Speaker 1: crowd Jan's addiction. I remember that, yeah, yeah. Their lead
14:17
Speaker 1: singer was married to one of the ladies who pay
14:20
Speaker 1: watch as well. But again I'd never heard them, and
14:22
Speaker 1: I'd love to know what what what it was that
14:24
Speaker 1: Alice Cooper could make trans athletic jump to rural Ireland
14:27
Speaker 1: in the.
14:27
Speaker 2: Good he golfed, he got He's a great golfer, his
14:29
Speaker 2: playoff scratch in the eighties, in the nineties, current phenomenal golfer.
14:34
Speaker 2: That's the truth of it.
14:35
Speaker 1: So chepping around the links of the Near Moor and
14:38
Speaker 1: character across.
14:39
Speaker 2: I had never heard of Ozzy Osborne before I knew
14:42
Speaker 2: of his music. I knew, you know, general and mass.
14:48
Speaker 1: Like I know that as he was.
14:49
Speaker 2: I knew there was a fellow who bit a head
14:52
Speaker 2: off a bat or a hamster or something, but it
14:53
Speaker 2: wasn't until meet the Osbourne or whatever that ship was
14:56
Speaker 2: exactly that. I went, oh Christ, he's disappointed.
15:00
Speaker 1: And then but then the Alice Coopers could could could
15:03
Speaker 1: manage that just to make that that jump over. Although
15:06
Speaker 1: like poison as a hell of a song.
15:07
Speaker 2: A hell of a song.
15:09
Speaker 1: He you know, it just it there was There was
15:11
Speaker 1: a very I really feel like you know that hair
15:14
Speaker 1: metal or metal or music in Ireland, in the Sillage crowd,
15:17
Speaker 1: in the rural Ireland metal or crowd was very strictly
15:22
Speaker 1: gate kept as the what got in and what did
15:24
Speaker 1: and later on obviously when we rolled into the late nineties,
15:27
Speaker 1: you had your Marlon Manson's and your corns and your
15:29
Speaker 1: slipknot and all that. I don't know that Marilyn Manson
15:32
Speaker 1: Manson was being blasted at the back of the mass.
15:34
Speaker 2: He I would have I would wager. I would wager
15:38
Speaker 2: that it took a superstar country singer to overtake all
15:41
Speaker 2: of them. Yeah, time, I think it was. I think
15:45
Speaker 2: it was. It was wide open, you know what I mean. Yeah,
15:49
Speaker 2: I think a lot of what was down to the
15:50
Speaker 2: artwork there, the artworkers class. It has to be said,
15:54
Speaker 2: the artwork on for those band album covers use your
15:56
Speaker 2: illusion one you imaginatively use your illusion too by but.
16:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know Bys with the with the
16:04
Speaker 1: appetite for destruction, sort of the cross thing tattooed on the.
16:09
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah badly. Oh yeah, I've seen it. I've seen it,
16:12
Speaker 2: But I I do think there was There was definitely
16:16
Speaker 2: a blur versus oasis kind of thing too, where your
16:19
Speaker 2: bon Jovi were your guns and roses. But then for
16:22
Speaker 2: me there was kind of standalone by itself. Nearly was
16:25
Speaker 2: Metallic because still to yeah.
16:27
Speaker 1: Metallic, it was always like a sort of those like
16:29
Speaker 1: a prestige to Metallic.
16:30
Speaker 2: It was a prestige.
16:32
Speaker 1: The Metallica on the radio.
16:33
Speaker 2: You wouldn't know on the beat box, but I remember
16:36
Speaker 2: Metallica playing. It was like it was early was it was?
16:41
Speaker 2: It like it wasn't live, but it was a similar
16:43
Speaker 2: one to Live eight. It was like, you know, Live
16:45
Speaker 2: at Wembley, one of these ones. I remember watching the
16:48
Speaker 2: back of my friend's house and as a small young
16:51
Speaker 2: flow I can still remember that opening notes of D
16:56
Speaker 2: and still to this day, if I need to, like
16:59
Speaker 2: when I was not so much for stand up, but
17:01
Speaker 2: when I was doing that one man play, I needed
17:03
Speaker 2: to get in a head space. That was the yeah
17:06
Speaker 2: five minutes call mistrom Anne, and I knew I had
17:08
Speaker 2: five minutes then, and you walk literally to the stage
17:11
Speaker 2: with that plane in headphones and I pop it out
17:13
Speaker 2: phone and all in the wings just as it was
17:16
Speaker 2: about to come on, and it was Enter Sandman, Home
17:20
Speaker 2: of Beer. That is, there was nothing got me going,
17:23
Speaker 2: nothing got me going like that. I mean, I love,
17:26
Speaker 2: I loved. There's nothing like you know, the Paradise City,
17:31
Speaker 2: nothing like it. There's nothing like Hell's Bells. There's nothing
17:35
Speaker 2: like black and Black and back or back in Blackish
17:38
Speaker 2: to say, back in.
17:39
Speaker 1: Black and again, Tom, This could just be a very
17:42
Speaker 1: myopic worldview that these are the things that we experienced
17:45
Speaker 1: because we are the protagonists of life. And for me
17:48
Speaker 1: to say that hair metal and heavy metal had Ireland
17:51
Speaker 1: in a stranglehold until the mid nineties when the blurs
17:53
Speaker 1: in Oasis and Nirvanas and r Ems came along, No,
17:57
Speaker 1: maybe that was just me. Maybe nobody liked Jovi anywhere
18:00
Speaker 1: else anything. I never really liked bon Jovi, Tom, to me,
18:03
Speaker 1: the proposals.
18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, their stuff was a bit soppy, but I got
18:07
Speaker 2: given this Jack Jack and it was a bit not sappy.
18:10
Speaker 2: But you know, like, oh no, Tom, you can't when
18:16
Speaker 2: you listening to the there's a darkness to the likes
18:20
Speaker 2: of metallity, you know what I mean, There's a.
18:22
Speaker 1: There was and I think that was not a melodor
18:25
Speaker 1: people that were saying up airway that were saying that
18:26
Speaker 1: bon Jovi were heavy metal, and I was like bon
18:28
Speaker 1: Jovi's strong country.
18:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, goold easily tilt over in the country to the
18:36
Speaker 2: way here now would have stealed guitar in the background,
18:38
Speaker 2: I can tell you. Yeah, so it can't wait twit
18:41
Speaker 2: you all day long, like but.
18:43
Speaker 1: But there you go. Folks, we want to know what
18:46
Speaker 1: you think about all this goddamn nonsense. Are we talking shite?
18:51

18:53
Speaker 1: village Tom lived in that got visited by the Angel

Speaker 1: of Denim in the mid to late eighties? Let us

19:05
Speaker 2: What he would be for all those rockers we say
19:08
Speaker 2: that we're talking about, they would put him up on
19:10
Speaker 2: a pedestal because he his whole thing was just his
19:14
Speaker 2: was a fantasy novel, like you know, His was like
19:18
Speaker 2: you must ride with the you know, you have to
19:20

Speaker 2: what I can't I can't listen to this bollocks. But
19:30
Speaker 2: all I've heard him all talk about him like that.

Speaker 1: the way, all the way ran the world, a little
19:57

21:31
Speaker 2: people and I that would be in my that's my
21:34
Speaker 2: mount rushmore of YouTube videos. It really is. It's the
21:40
Speaker 2: it makes no sense if.
21:44
Speaker 1: Well I got I gotta tell you and we gotta,
21:45
Speaker 1: like I say, we've gotta pour one out for mister Carlson,
21:48
Speaker 1: who died this week at the age of eighty two,
21:51
Speaker 1: all the way in his home country then the other
21:54
Speaker 1: side of the world, but he came to prevalence in
21:57
Speaker 1: like early doors YouTube. Okay, we're gonna gonna go, We're
22:01
Speaker 1: gonna give you the cliffs notes off and then we're
22:03
Speaker 1: gonna get into it and help how he came to
22:06
Speaker 1: be this lad? He starting a video. Tom played the
22:12
Speaker 1: audio of it there. You haven't seen it, and I'm
22:14
Speaker 1: sure you must have seen it. Just making your business
22:17
Speaker 1: to look it up on YouTube or we'll throw a
22:18
Speaker 1: link out for you. But it was taken in nineteen
22:21
Speaker 1: ninety one, and then I was just kind of forgotten
22:23
Speaker 1: about Tom. It's just like, you know, just that was it.
22:27
Speaker 2: It was.
22:28
Speaker 1: It was like a clip from the news or a
22:29
Speaker 1: clip from Panorama or whatnot, and then it just vanished
22:36
Speaker 1: until it reappeared on the internet, as these things do.
22:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's but that has happened a few times
22:43
Speaker 2: with things where they just go oh yeah, class and
22:46
Speaker 2: it just goes away. But then the internet absolutely steam
22:49
Speaker 2: roads and it's just hoovering up any content going and
22:52
Speaker 2: just by natural manifestations manifestations.
22:57
Speaker 1: But somebody uploaded it to YouTube on two thousand and
23:02
Speaker 1: nine and they were saying kind of along the lines
23:05
Speaker 1: of I remember seeing this on the TV when I
23:07
Speaker 1: was little, and I thought it was a dream, but no,
23:09
Speaker 1: I looked it up and I found it and here
23:11
Speaker 1: it is this the same thing happened. What do you
23:15
Speaker 1: call that Donkey Derby down in Ireland. Remember there was
23:17
Speaker 1: the video that was it wasn't clear.
23:18
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Claire in the But prior to that,
23:22
Speaker 2: what kind of made that because people didn't really have
23:26
Speaker 2: prior to that. Probably the first viral viral video as
23:29
Speaker 2: a video, and I think we've definitely discussed as at
23:32
Speaker 2: some point was the f and Eddy Gaelic which, yes,
23:37
Speaker 2: which we found out that. I mean that was that
23:40
Speaker 2: was touching of embarrassment around here because it's from here. Yeah,
23:44
Speaker 2: like I told him. He the man commentating was my
23:46
Speaker 2: school principal's brother, do you know he? And but they
23:50
Speaker 2: were charging we can hear this. They were charging twenty
23:53
Speaker 2: pounds ahead in bars in New York to go in
23:55
Speaker 2: and watch it on a Saturday night. Yeah, that's all.
23:59
Speaker 2: But that was viral before you know.
24:04
Speaker 1: Eventually it goes up on it goes up online, and
24:06
Speaker 1: then it finds itself and the it gets shared around,
24:09
Speaker 1: it gets ticktok and all that. And that's what happened
24:11
Speaker 1: with every Man Jack Carlson, who himself wasn't tracked down
24:15
Speaker 1: until much later, the actual man himself. So it depicts
24:18
Speaker 1: like the arrest of a man outside a Chinese restaurant, clearly, yeah, yes,
24:26
Speaker 1: and it was it was so hard to find. It
24:29
Speaker 1: was so hard for anybody to really find what the
24:32
Speaker 1: man's name was because it was initially uploaded under the
24:36
Speaker 1: name of the journalist who was reporting on it. So
24:40
Speaker 1: the reason Terry Wogan of it, and he was a guy
24:43
Speaker 1: called Chris Reason. So it was like, oh, here's a
24:46
Speaker 1: report from Chris Reason about this guy getting hauled out
24:48
Speaker 1: of a Chinese restaurant. So everyone sort of said, oh,
24:51
Speaker 1: and the man's name is Chris Reason, and that led
24:54
Speaker 1: them on a wild good uice case. It goes, wow,
24:55
Speaker 1: this guy used to be a reporter in Australia in
24:57
Speaker 1: the early nineties.
24:58
Speaker 2: Well, no ship, Tommy, he's on the other side of
25:01
Speaker 2: the camera, for Christ's sake.
25:03
Speaker 1: Flame and Glas. So it went round like this for
25:05
Speaker 1: a little while and not for nothing. There man Jack
25:07
Speaker 1: Carlson was born Cecil Edwards some eighty two years ago,
25:12
Speaker 1: so he wasn't an easy man to find. He changed
25:14
Speaker 1: his name for reasons that we'll get into there.
25:17
Speaker 2: The second time, I would say changed the more than months.
25:19
Speaker 2: Jared say that's not the indeed, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22
Speaker 1: In every town he went into little a hobo.
25:24
Speaker 2: Style, a little at hobo only to clean the place
25:28
Speaker 2: out the best.
25:28
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, but even in his obitriies, we're not
25:31
Speaker 1: we're not speaking ill of the dead, because we're about
25:33
Speaker 1: to speak very fondly of them. He spent some time
25:38
Speaker 1: boarding with the warden in his.
25:39
Speaker 2: In his uh even that particular like what he was
25:42
Speaker 2: getting arrested for. It wasn't because he was throwing stuff
25:45
Speaker 2: around the restaurant. It wasn't because he was dronk. It
25:48
Speaker 2: was credit card. He handed in a hockey credit card
25:51
Speaker 2: in over the count.
25:52
Speaker 1: Yes, and and and I believe the report. Okay, so
25:56
Speaker 1: so we're chomping all over the place here, we're excited.
25:59
Speaker 1: What can I tell I know? The report was into
26:02
Speaker 1: the phenomenon known as din and dash in Australia, so
26:06
Speaker 1: that they did like a panorama dining dash. So there
26:09
Speaker 1: was a reason why there was cops and and reporters
26:15
Speaker 1: and film crews, and they went in under suspicion that
26:18
Speaker 1: there was a gentleman in there who was a renowned
26:20
Speaker 1: dining dasher who our chap here, Jack Carlson was not
26:23
Speaker 1: necessarily a renowned dyning dasher. But that wouldn't mean to
26:25
Speaker 1: say that he wasn't, in his own right, yeah, a criminal.
26:29
Speaker 1: So he was taken out and arrested for dining dash
26:34
Speaker 1: activities and credit card fraud and all this kind of
26:36
Speaker 1: crack and that's why he's so indignant in it. He
26:39
Speaker 1: goes like I'm under arrest and he's like, I haven't
26:41
Speaker 1: committed any crime. I've literally not committed any crime at all.
26:44
Speaker 1: I haven't done a crime today.
26:47
Speaker 2: I'm trying to enjoy a sucking and Chinese meo. I
26:51
Speaker 2: can't help it. There, it's a mustache. I just can't
26:54
Speaker 2: help it. It's like, take your hands off my penis.
26:58
Speaker 1: So that is how this man came to be, say
27:00
Speaker 1: the Chinese restaurant in Australia getting loaded into the back
27:03
Speaker 1: of the car and his manner of rejection tom is
27:06
Speaker 1: what cemented him as not only an Internet legend, but
27:10
Speaker 1: this week's this land.
27:11
Speaker 2: But you're listen, jer you you know, like if you're
27:16
Speaker 2: getting hold into car, you're going shamefully or you'd go
27:19
Speaker 2: swinging like an animal. This guy obviously had been arrested
27:22
Speaker 2: that many times. He was so calm that he was
27:26
Speaker 2: actually cracking lines like like do you study your judo? Well,
27:33
Speaker 2: you know, your judo. Well, like you're going, what the
27:36
Speaker 2: fuck man, there's four cops arresting his cameras everywhere, and
27:39
Speaker 2: this guy is just playing to the choir like he's
27:41
Speaker 2: just he's playing up to the gallery. He loved in it, and.
27:45
Speaker 1: He's having a great time. I mean, here's the thing, Tom,
27:48
Speaker 1: I've never been arrested. I have been put in the
27:52
Speaker 1: back of a car yep, against my will. Perhaps maybe
27:56
Speaker 1: I had a little bit too much to drink a
27:58
Speaker 1: couple of times and was like into the carriage home
28:00
Speaker 1: before yeah, and I was like no, no, no, no no,
28:03
Speaker 1: And it didn't take much to get me into the car.
28:07
Speaker 1: They just like folded me like it put a hanky
28:09
Speaker 1: in your ars pocket.
28:10
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean they have the methods
28:13
Speaker 2: and whatnot of you know, I I have been well,
28:16
Speaker 2: not formally, but you know, I.
28:19
Speaker 1: Don't think this informal. This is just lads.
28:21
Speaker 2: I was with no, no, no, I've I've gone in
28:24
Speaker 2: the blues and twos and whatnot. But it's they you
28:27
Speaker 2: know what's coming, Like, you know, listen, you can get
28:29
Speaker 2: in yourself, or we're gonna fold you like a index chair.
28:33
Speaker 2: You're getting in. You're like, ah, yeah, I yeah, I
28:36
Speaker 2: believe you. But you made a very valid point. What
28:38
Speaker 2: we were talking about beforehand is that everybody jokes and
28:41
Speaker 2: laughs since because like his T shirts merch he's he
28:44
Speaker 2: became an artist now, so much about him but nobody
28:48
Speaker 2: And you made a really valid point, mate pointed out
28:51
Speaker 2: what a fucking big ox he was.
28:54
Speaker 1: He as four at any given time, four big burly
28:58
Speaker 1: Brisbane police officers trying to get him into this car,
29:02
Speaker 1: and they are not moving them.
29:04
Speaker 2: No, he goes when he wants to go. And now
29:07
Speaker 2: I would argue, right, they know this cameras on him.
29:09
Speaker 2: If there wasn't cameras on him, he's yeah, he's getting
29:13
Speaker 2: in there handier. At the same time, you've got four lads,
29:18
Speaker 2: that's four, you know, four appendages you can all turn
29:22
Speaker 2: into a nott and turn him into the back.
29:24
Speaker 1: Yes, this is eight arms around you.
29:26
Speaker 2: He's getting out all these banging lines, absolute crackers, one
29:30
Speaker 2: meme after another one, like he's setting up his future,
29:35
Speaker 2: his future, proofing himself by creating art in that moment
29:40
Speaker 2: without him knowing it. That's how relaxed he is. Ah,
29:43
Speaker 2: I see, you know you're judo. Well, what this is
29:47
Speaker 2: democracy manifest What it's.
29:51
Speaker 1: It's it's it's incredible to him. It's like when the
29:55
Speaker 1: kids were small enough to be trying to drag you
29:56
Speaker 1: by the hand, you know, yeah, and you just hold
29:59
Speaker 1: onto the hands and little feet would just spin in
30:01
Speaker 1: the ground and they're just going no more. That's what
30:03
Speaker 1: it's like with these lads trying, and he's just like unfazed.
30:06
Speaker 1: He's not bowling red in the face, kicking scream and
30:08
Speaker 1: he's just like I'm standing here and not one of
30:11
Speaker 1: you lads can move me.
30:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I gotta tell you there's nothing not to
30:15
Speaker 1: like it.
30:15
Speaker 2: But but you know what, there's a lot to be
30:18
Speaker 2: said to like Like I I often I once every
30:22
Speaker 2: couple of years, I'll find myself watching the movie Chopper again. Yeah,
30:27
Speaker 2: and there's something almost maybe working class, like there is
30:32
Speaker 2: about the Northern English accent too, you know, or there's
30:35
Speaker 2: something about that Australian accent. And if when there's a
30:40
Speaker 2: when there's look, game recognizes game. He's a fucking comedian.
30:44
Speaker 2: There's no two ways he's got. He's got a tight
30:47
Speaker 2: seven minutes on them, same as Chopper read. You know
30:49
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's like I'm just a blog down
30:51
Speaker 2: his bloody lock, you know, you know he's like.
30:57
Speaker 1: This is the madness that just flashed over your face there,
31:00
Speaker 1: Tom is that?
31:03
Speaker 2: But there's something about that rogue. We're like, you know,
31:06
Speaker 2: he chops off people's toes, the bloody lover like Jimmy
31:12
Speaker 2: bloody Hello, and the same fellow he's given the Democracy
31:16
Speaker 2: manifest you like this. I don't know what he's talking about,
31:20
Speaker 2: what the fuck he did in that Chinese but I'm
31:22
Speaker 2: all for him.
31:24
Speaker 1: He's just messing with them, you know, he's even when
31:27
Speaker 1: they're when when they're when they finally have them, and
31:30
Speaker 1: I appreciate, like it's hard to get perhaps you know,
31:33
Speaker 1: a twenty stone man into the back of the car
31:36
Speaker 1: and fold them in correctly and all this kind of thing.
31:37
Speaker 1: And eventually he kind of what's the word I'm looking for,
31:41
Speaker 1: he sort of planks like he sort of goes ridgid,
31:44
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, and they literally just all his
31:47
Speaker 1: ass into the into the into the into the back
31:49
Speaker 1: of it. It's what happens afterwards time that we don't see.
31:56
Speaker 2: How do you mean?
31:58
Speaker 1: Well, he is taken to the guard station whatever the
32:01
Speaker 1: Brisbane Garda station is called. We called it that on
32:05
Speaker 1: Guarda Brisbane and he's there, he's told what the charges are,
32:11
Speaker 1: what is the charge? Well, here is the charge and
32:13
Speaker 1: he makes bail.
32:16
Speaker 2: Fox off. Where'd they go?
32:18
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. It took twenty years to find them again.
32:22
Speaker 1: It was only when people went looking for him in
32:24
Speaker 1: like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. That was the first time
32:27
Speaker 1: he'd been seen since he was arrested and then out
32:30
Speaker 1: in bail in nineteen ninety one. He just left and
32:33
Speaker 1: went and went off and formed a life and had
32:36
Speaker 1: a family and friends and art and the whole lot.
32:40
Speaker 2: I bet you went, well, that's Australia, though you can
32:42
Speaker 2: go out like Australia, do you know.
32:44
Speaker 1: Well, for Australia, Yeah, for Australia, he probably just went like,
32:46
Speaker 1: you know, an hour up the road.
32:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I think a lot of Australians, much like
32:52
Speaker 2: Chopper read, they're Alaska because you know, you go to Alaska. Yeah,
32:58
Speaker 2: there's you mean, you can just go to Alaska, you know,
33:01
Speaker 2: and be fine, no matter what you've done. I think
33:04
Speaker 2: there Alaska is like Tasmania. I think it's just like
33:08
Speaker 2: whatever they've got.
33:09
Speaker 1: I think their Alaska is just the middle of Australia.
33:11
Speaker 2: Actually true, Australia is Australia. It's like if you chew,
33:16
Speaker 2: they don't need.
33:17
Speaker 1: To, they don't need to go to a second land mask.
33:18
Speaker 2: They're just I'm just gonna a lot of fucking go
33:25
Speaker 2: out of there, all right. Never see you again, boy.
33:28
Speaker 1: Never just never see again. I love no money. Yeah,
33:34
Speaker 1: we didn't know your name to begin with. He's had
33:37
Speaker 1: three aliases in this episode of The Tom and Jerry Show,
33:40
Speaker 1: So there you go.
33:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean easy, easy for a fellow like
33:43
Speaker 2: him to fall off the green. But then, like when
33:45
Speaker 2: you see the interviews with him, and he's still swinging
33:47
Speaker 2: out the sucking lot in Mayo in his in his
33:50
Speaker 2: elder years, but he's got he's like, he's we'll call
33:55
Speaker 2: it a naive artwork. It's no, he is no Banksy,
33:58
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? It's eve is what
34:00
Speaker 2: an art personal call it. But it's him drawn, him
34:05
Speaker 2: being turfed into the back of the cop car on
34:07
Speaker 2: loads of different paintings, and he's getting thousands for him.
34:10
Speaker 1: Because I'm delighted for him. I'm curious as to what
34:13
Speaker 1: the hell else he might have painted.
34:15
Speaker 2: But do you know, but like the fact, if you
34:19
Speaker 2: could pick a moment in your life that became so
34:23
Speaker 2: synonymous and so viral that you know, in your later
34:28
Speaker 2: years you were able to paint pictures and make money
34:30
Speaker 2: as a result of the you know, being maggotty drunk
34:34
Speaker 2: in a Chinese pulling off credit card, you know, crook behavior.
34:40
Speaker 1: I don't want to say fraud because he's dead, but yeah,
34:42
Speaker 1: absolutely fraud.
34:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he and you know, we've all like, think
34:48
Speaker 2: of the mental things you've done, you know, scandalous, carry on,
34:53
Speaker 2: but frozen in time. It ends up being the funniest
34:55
Speaker 2: shit worldwide, and you come out looking like a bit
34:58
Speaker 2: of a legend as a result of it, that that
35:00
Speaker 2: lightning never strikes this guy.
35:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking like this lad.
35:07
Speaker 2: Hey, there's an opera about him. By the way, there's
35:10
Speaker 2: an hotel, and there's going to be a movie made
35:12
Speaker 2: about him.
35:14
Speaker 1: All right, well listen, okay, now listen.
35:17
Speaker 2: I don't know where the movie's got yeah, let's uh yeah,
35:21
Speaker 2: let's I'm guessing that's going to be an independent production.
35:25
Speaker 2: I can't see Warner Burgers getting behind that one.
35:28
Speaker 1: You never, you know what, I'm gonna give it. I'm
35:30
Speaker 1: not gonna get too mad they made a movie better man,
35:33
Speaker 1: Soley Sullenburger, and all he did was crashing the river.
35:36
Speaker 1: So like you know right that that was his five minutes.
35:40
Speaker 1: Soley Sarvenburger can get a movie director by Clint eas
35:44
Speaker 1: would for crashing a plane into a river. Then I
35:45
Speaker 1: guess areman Jack Carlson can get a movie for eating.
35:50
Speaker 1: We'll give it to me one more time.
35:51
Speaker 2: Kiln Chinese meal?
35:54
Speaker 1: Ah, well, listen, I myself might have a succulent Chinese
35:58
Speaker 1: meal in mister Carro memory before we go, Tom, there's
36:03
Speaker 1: been brewin now a couple of weeks. I'm gonna start
36:06
Speaker 1: a row.
36:07
Speaker 2: Let's start a round two. Don't stop. We we've been
36:15
Speaker 2: circling the drain and we've been dipping our home. We've
36:17
Speaker 2: been saying hello, say we're circling the drain. Oh, we've
36:22
Speaker 2: been dancing around the bush. Shall we say?
36:24
Speaker 1: Yes? We We've mentioned this a couple of times.
36:27
Speaker 2: The six ring? Is it six rings?
36:29
Speaker 1: Five for you and me?
36:32
Speaker 3: Yeah?
36:33
Speaker 2: The five rings of Olympian Olympic shaped bush topery. I'm
36:38
Speaker 2: sure somebody worldwide, somewhere in the world has done the
36:40
Speaker 2: five rings out of a hedge we've been circling. If not,
36:44
Speaker 2: they should For the last four or five weeks, and
36:47
Speaker 2: I think this this will put an end to.
36:49
Speaker 1: It, because there has been an end put to it. Tom.
36:52
Speaker 1: The Olympics closing ceremony was last night. As we record this,
36:56
Speaker 1: this is Monday. Spoiler alert, sorry to pull back court.
36:59
Speaker 2: Or forth, wall gone, fourth walk gone.
37:02
Speaker 1: Jeer and not in the k fabe. Here we go.
37:07
Speaker 2: The Yes, the closing armony was last night and flag
37:09
Speaker 2: bears were out and the medal winners and whatnot. As
37:13
Speaker 2: to we said, we never I don't know if we
37:14
Speaker 2: mentioned him the Wiffin chap. He went to the hospital
37:16
Speaker 2: very sick, but he's okay now he says, yeah, he
37:18
Speaker 2: was to be a flag bearer last night. But it
37:20
Speaker 2: goes down. You made a valid point, like I thought,
37:24
Speaker 2: twenty eight percent, because when you were talking to me
37:27
Speaker 2: about what you reckon, you could have have a pond
37:30
Speaker 2: that twenty eight percent of Britain's reckon, reckon, they could
37:35
Speaker 2: have a crack at the one hundred meters.
37:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I reckon twenty eight of Britain should be
37:40
Speaker 1: uh should be let have a gold Yeah you know,
37:44
Speaker 1: you know, and we're not going to start a row
37:47
Speaker 1: about what our neighbors across the pond Kenan can't do
37:52
Speaker 1: start and I started on this night.
37:54
Speaker 2: I can only apologize. I can only apologize.
37:56
Speaker 1: But what we're gonna do is we're gonna have a
37:58
Speaker 1: little bit debate to and from about what you or
38:01
Speaker 1: I could do were a couple of weeks ago, and
38:03
Speaker 1: we may have actually glanced upon it while the Olympics
38:06
Speaker 1: were on. In all serious now, we talk a lot
38:10
Speaker 1: of who on this show, Tom, we talk a lot
38:13
Speaker 1: of mess and fall all.
38:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Jim jab let me get deadly,
38:18
Speaker 2: clapping our guns in all the directions.
38:21
Speaker 1: We can't turn back time, so we're not in our prime. No, right, no,
38:27
Speaker 1: but we're going to go back to the age of
38:29
Speaker 1: twenty We're going to say, Tom, o'manney, Jerry McBride, what
38:34
Speaker 1: could we do in the Olympics? What could we genuinely
38:38
Speaker 1: turn our hands two?
38:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, fu, twenty years of age. Your bulletproof, aren't you?
38:46
Speaker 2: You're absolutely bulletproof like.
38:48
Speaker 1: We're I'm going to tell you, Tom, I'm going to
38:50
Speaker 1: give myself maybe twenty two because that's when I was
38:52
Speaker 1: a Relarican prick.
38:55
Speaker 2: I'm going to go, let's go to twenty five for me,
38:59
Speaker 2: Let's go in twenty and twenty five, right, twenty five,
39:02
Speaker 2: that's when we would have been.
39:05
Speaker 1: The only tough on the Crazy Brave.
39:07
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, to counter phrase from Full Metal Jacket, Yeah yeah, yeah,
39:11
Speaker 2: we were in the ship. As they say, I genuinely
39:16
Speaker 2: I know I couldn't. Well judging by that for our
39:18
Speaker 2: French lab last week, I'd say, yeah, i'd be I'd
39:21
Speaker 2: been in the same boat as him with the pole vault,
39:23
Speaker 2: the fluid would definitely yeah talk talk it did in
39:30
Speaker 2: the fucking first time you had the thing. Let's but anyway,
39:33
Speaker 2: let's take.
39:34
Speaker 1: A look at tom okay. So okay, So we look
39:37
Speaker 1: at a couple of the disciplines, okay, and we will
39:40
Speaker 1: narrow it down. We'll have a little round. We'll narrow
39:42
Speaker 1: it down to what we can and can't do. Okay,
39:43
Speaker 1: go on, Okay, So let's go equestrian, water track, yeah,
39:52
Speaker 1: or cycling.
39:55
Speaker 2: I think we should. We should have a look at
39:57
Speaker 2: the gymnastics. There's so many. What do you think?
40:00
Speaker 1: Well, Number one, I know, I know I can't swim.
40:02
Speaker 1: I could never swim. I couldn't swim, not with all
40:06
Speaker 1: the training in the world. So swimming, water sports, rowing,
40:09
Speaker 1: and that gets me with a damp power sorry, I'm
40:11
Speaker 1: not I'm sorry.
40:13
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:14
Speaker 1: So that's gone, and the questrian horses don't like me. Sorry,
40:18
Speaker 1: And I dare say with you, Tom, I don't know
40:20
Speaker 1: how you are with the question, but I can't see
40:22
Speaker 1: it with the little hat jumping over.
40:24
Speaker 2: No, no, it's Tom.
40:27
Speaker 1: We're like, we're like, we're like little you know, Guinness
40:30
Speaker 1: barrel men. You know what I mean?
40:32
Speaker 2: No, it would You're not. Neither one of us are
40:34
Speaker 2: made for it. I used to go out on horses
40:36
Speaker 2: when I was young, but I could never take like
40:39
Speaker 2: I liked it. It was fine, but I was like,
40:41
Speaker 2: I have a scrambler. I'm just saying, yes, yes, I.
40:44
Speaker 1: Can get all this time speaking of scramblers, Tom, two wheels,
40:47
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to cycle either.
40:50
Speaker 2: No, No, you like that. I like that vellow Drome
40:54
Speaker 2: like that seven to watch it the other evening went yeah,
40:56
Speaker 2: And I swear to God, just like if you listening to
40:58
Speaker 2: the podcast, because now this is more like it. He literally,
41:02
Speaker 2: this is more like it. Jesus there, he says, this,
41:04
Speaker 2: Lad is some detail. He says, look at this because
41:06
Speaker 2: he was he was watching before I was, and to
41:08
Speaker 2: give all the stats in this book he was this
41:10
Speaker 2: lad is some detail now like he was, But that
41:12
Speaker 2: was as much as that man needed to know about
41:14
Speaker 2: develop drome cycling. We enjoyed the living ship done in
41:18
Speaker 2: no time.
41:22
Speaker 1: That leaves us with track and field and it leaves
41:25
Speaker 1: us with the gymnastics and the gymnasium activities.
41:29
Speaker 2: Now I do need to ask you a question. Yeah,
41:34
Speaker 2: what where does break dance and fall under this? Because
41:37
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the Australian effort, is
41:39
Speaker 2: that gymnastics Because the Australian effort was me giving it
41:43
Speaker 2: ago hisste It was a.
41:46
Speaker 1: Bad week for Australia. What would our man Jack Carlton
41:49
Speaker 1: passing away and Rachel doctor Rachel Gunn who break dances
41:54
Speaker 1: under the name Rey gun Jesus Christ.
41:58
Speaker 2: Yes, like we've all seen the tick talk videos have
42:00
Speaker 2: these unbelievable kids that can spin on their heads like
42:05
Speaker 2: look like they're from the future. And then what the
42:08
Speaker 2: Christ was she doing? She looked like she she went
42:10
Speaker 2: like a two year olds having a tantrum inside and the.
42:12
Speaker 1: Super video Tom she looked like you know the ant
42:14
Speaker 1: you have to send home early for a wedding.
42:16
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do, I do
42:21
Speaker 2: I actually do. Yeah, making a holy show over, So
42:23
Speaker 2: she was making a holy shover.
42:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's all right. Come on, it's it's it's
42:27
Speaker 1: the big day. Get you into a car and gets
42:28
Speaker 1: you way out of here. Let's get you a succulent
42:30
Speaker 1: Chinese meal. Let's get you a three and one on
42:32
Speaker 1: the way home. So Tom, we're narrowing it down to
42:37
Speaker 1: things that you or I could do. And there's look,
42:39
Speaker 1: there's football on this, rugby and all that, and they're yeah,
42:42
Speaker 1: you know, don't cheat, and say, look, I'm gonna be
42:44
Speaker 1: in the in the rugby seven.
42:45
Speaker 2: No, no, and even that's so far that's up there
42:48
Speaker 2: with cycling. So the fitness of those guys, I actually
42:52
Speaker 2: I know too much about that in that I couldn't
42:55
Speaker 2: even like there are pro rugby players on the fifteens thing.
42:59
Speaker 2: We're looking at that one. Not Jesus Christ, not a chance,
43:02
Speaker 2: not a hoping Jesus would I keep up with them? So,
43:06
Speaker 2: you know, no, that's off the.
43:08
Speaker 1: I dare say Tom, as well, we're going to take
43:10
Speaker 1: like team sports off it as well. I'm not going
43:12
Speaker 1: to be on the hockey team. I'm not going to
43:13
Speaker 1: be I don't play well with others. This is going
43:15
Speaker 1: to be this is going to be a solitary pursuit.
43:18
Speaker 2: This is a fantasy, by the way, anybody, this is
43:23
Speaker 2: a fantasy that will go in the perfect world and
43:26
Speaker 2: the perfect day and the perfect weather and the perfect
43:29
Speaker 2: thing just falling our way, we reckon. We could give
43:32
Speaker 2: a right go and possibly even medal at this if
43:35
Speaker 2: everything went our way. Yes, So I mean we're where
43:39
Speaker 2: where where is it falling for you now? Because you
43:41
Speaker 2: were saying like we're down to the athletics, We're down
43:43
Speaker 2: to track and field. We're down to track and field gymnastics.
43:47
Speaker 2: So that's based activity, which is where I'm going ahead.
43:50
Speaker 2: We're leaving off boxing because you know, we leave it
43:54
Speaker 2: off because do you know what I mean? You know,
43:57
Speaker 2: it's it's a points thing. It's not even like you
43:59
Speaker 2: can run in swing and makers. You're just gonna get
44:03
Speaker 2: it's not the committee, No exactly which, Yeah, I probably
44:07
Speaker 2: would get the scroll. In fact, I believe I missed
44:10
Speaker 2: him one of the days DHL were dropping up the
44:12
Speaker 2: scroll to me there the invipers I was working at
44:15
Speaker 2: the time.
44:17
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you what I would do, Okay,
44:20
Speaker 1: And again it would be a solitary pursuit. I figure
44:22
Speaker 1: if I'm no good in the team, if you leave
44:24
Speaker 1: me alone to do a thing, I might get good
44:25
Speaker 1: at it. There was a time I would have told
44:27
Speaker 1: you that I would have been good at the pole
44:29
Speaker 1: vault based it must be said on nothing. M Yeah,
44:35
Speaker 1: I just seen them doing going like, yeah, probably give
44:38
Speaker 1: that a go, But I'm not going to do it.
44:40
Speaker 1: In track, I'm not gonna run and I do a
44:42
Speaker 1: better run myself, Tom, but I'm not going to run
44:44
Speaker 1: one hundred meters. I've seen these buys dashing, not hond meters. Yeah,
44:47
Speaker 1: that's for Christ's sake, it's not it. Yeah, Like, honestly,
44:50
Speaker 1: my absolute fastest time I went, I went by there
44:55
Speaker 1: four hundred meters in my fast at four hundred meters. Therefore,
44:58
Speaker 1: they were doing four hundred meters and like fifty seconds
45:01
Speaker 1: fifty seconds, right, And I do four hundred meters with
45:04
Speaker 1: the best will in the world in three minutes, all right,
45:08
Speaker 1: So it's like they're three times.
45:10
Speaker 2: Fast and they're driving, they're driving.
45:13
Speaker 1: And when I'm doing that speed, I'm dying you hear me.
45:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are different specimens altogether, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
45:21
Speaker 2: So what I'm going to.
45:22
Speaker 1: Give you, Tom, what I'm going to give you for
45:24
Speaker 1: an event that I would give a go at And
45:26
Speaker 1: I mentioned this a couple of times. I would give
45:29
Speaker 1: the Olympic weightlifting a go would And it's I'm going
45:32
Speaker 1: to tell you what it is now, Okay. I was
45:35
Speaker 1: never that strong, all right, Okay, even when I was
45:38
Speaker 1: like going to the gym all the time, and you know,
45:41
Speaker 1: a young ladder and a bulky ladder one thing another.
45:44
Speaker 1: But I was never all that strong, not by the numbers,
45:46
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, it wasn't like I
45:48
Speaker 1: had this big, massive bench press all of us. Yeah,
45:50
Speaker 1: you know that kind of way. But I got it lifted, Tom,
45:54
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you how sheer dog ignorance.
45:59
Speaker 2: Ignorance is a great thing. Ignorance and desperation. They're two
46:03
Speaker 2: great things.
46:04
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, just absolute bloody mindedness. So if you put
46:08
Speaker 1: a weight in front of me, in front of a
46:10
Speaker 1: thousand people in an Olympic auditorium and say you have
46:13
Speaker 1: to lift that, the ignorance in me would not let
46:16
Speaker 1: me not lift that, even if it meant clenching my
46:19
Speaker 1: jaw so much that I shattered every two to my head.
46:23
Speaker 1: And like I will, I gave it such a on
46:26
Speaker 1: the way up that I painted the wall behind me.
46:29
Speaker 1: You know, Jackson Pollock, Jackson Pollock, whitter shale of brown.
46:34
Speaker 2: But you'd lifted like a man you wear jeans.
46:37
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I'd just be you know, like we
46:43
Speaker 1: all know what can go wrong when you're when you're
46:44
Speaker 1: a weightlifting tom if you if you've seen the photos
46:47
Speaker 1: online that I've seen, it's dreadful. You don't walk away
46:50
Speaker 1: from it. But I couldn't go to the Olympics and
46:55
Speaker 1: not do that.
46:57
Speaker 2: Yeah I could see. Yeah, I can buy it.
47:01
Speaker 1: And and I'm little as well, not for nothing. I'm short,
47:04
Speaker 1: and all these lads seemed.
47:05
Speaker 2: To be count it counts for a norflat. There's my
47:08
Speaker 2: first cousin's son. He's gone all state in Florida, and yeah,
47:14
Speaker 2: he's gonna all states. Shout out to t J.
47:18
Speaker 1: Hart.
47:18
Speaker 2: He Yeah, but he's incredible wrestler, natural strength, but low
47:23
Speaker 2: sized lad like myself, even lower, i'd say, but has
47:27
Speaker 2: brilliant technique and an ignorance that I would say is
47:31
Speaker 2: probably the Irish heritage in him. He's you know, I'm
47:34
Speaker 2: sure he's he's got one part seven on Indian from
47:37
Speaker 2: his father and stuff and I'm you know, but I'd
47:41
Speaker 2: say it is the ignorance that has him lift. He
47:44
Speaker 2: went all he's gonna all states, he's broken records now
47:47
Speaker 2: at the for his weight category of the you know,
47:49
Speaker 2: the snatch and clean kind of thing and.
47:51
Speaker 1: Clean and I know and and you go like number one,
47:56
Speaker 1: all right, don't be sitting over there across me going
47:58
Speaker 1: like hmm, I think it might be the Irish indom
48:00
Speaker 1: that gives them the ignorance.
48:02
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, not tisy, you think tis yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
48:06
Speaker 2: a terrible nice lad, fierce nice lad. But I'd say,
48:09
Speaker 2: in those moments you call the trend in the world
48:12
Speaker 2: wouldn't count for it's he's beaten lads that are stronger
48:16
Speaker 2: looking than him, right, and that can only be down
48:19
Speaker 2: to ignorant genetics.
48:21
Speaker 1: I would say, absolutely, you know so much? Yeah, why
48:24
Speaker 1: why Ireland aren't doing more on the weight lookay, okay,
48:27
Speaker 1: that's not nice of me to say, what fox sake, Clauds.
48:30
Speaker 2: So what have you got, Tom, Well, a distant relative
48:32
Speaker 2: of mine, not that chap now on my father's side,
48:35
Speaker 2: a distant relative of mine. There's a there's a bronze
48:37
Speaker 2: statue up to him in the village of Palace Green
48:40
Speaker 2: in County Limerick for throwing the hammer. He won the gold.
48:45
Speaker 2: He actually won the gold. And this is back in
48:47
Speaker 2: you know, nineteen twenty one kind of a thing.
48:50
Speaker 1: When it was a real hammer.
48:51
Speaker 2: Was like Hitler could have been at this one, you
48:53
Speaker 2: know what I mean, don't I don't know how far,
48:54
Speaker 2: but I think it was the nineteen twenties or whatever.
48:56
Speaker 2: And what wanted firm was on the day they actually
49:01
Speaker 2: put there was all sorts of gamesmanship like they were
49:04
Speaker 2: his uh, his cleats were went missing. Do you know
49:07
Speaker 2: his boots for the spiky boots and stuff for because
49:10
Speaker 2: you'd have a bit of grip. The French team the
49:13
Speaker 2: night before introduced him and the Irish boys to wine,
49:16
Speaker 2: which they'd never experienced before. He got lost on the
49:20
Speaker 2: way to the actual track because he was like where
49:23
Speaker 2: the fuck am I? And by all accounts of the
49:25
Speaker 2: fabled story of him being brought wherever it was in
49:28
Speaker 2: like it could have been France at the time, in
49:31
Speaker 2: like a trailer load of cabbages and jumped out. It's
49:35
Speaker 2: like still hanging undersized boots because he got a end
49:38
Speaker 2: of somebody else's cleats and root brute ignorance, only ignorance,
49:47
Speaker 2: because you're all everything was against him. He threw the
49:50
Speaker 2: hammer and beat the frenchees and beat everybody else to
49:54
Speaker 2: take the gold that time, and out of nowhere was
49:57
Speaker 2: there ever a mention of the athletic prowess. I would
50:01
Speaker 2: put it completely down to a heritage of dog ignorance
50:06
Speaker 2: as you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's so that that's
50:11
Speaker 2: where my inspiration would come from.
50:13
Speaker 1: For both of you would head towards the hammerton.
50:15
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't because I'm going to base
50:18
Speaker 2: it on a past moment. Why wife still refers to
50:23
Speaker 2: this day. We were only going out at the time
50:25
Speaker 2: and her parents were living in the UK. Now they're
50:27
Speaker 2: in Irelands since, but they were living in the UK
50:30
Speaker 2: in Leafy Strafford upon Avon, and we were down the
50:33
Speaker 2: town having a couple of beers in Shakespeare's town and
50:38
Speaker 2: the next thing was we got a phone call saying
50:41
Speaker 2: did you take keys out with g We you know,
50:44
Speaker 2: they were sure we'd taken keys at anyway, the longer
50:47
Speaker 2: the shout out was, I probably showed my true colors
50:51
Speaker 2: too much, because in a couple of days were their
50:54
Speaker 2: previous sublimely I had logged how easy it would be
50:58
Speaker 2: breaking to break into this house anyway, I thought, Jesus Christ,
51:02
Speaker 2: I would walk through this place like a fucking ghost.
51:05
Speaker 2: But keys were lost. Nobody had keys. The parents came
51:09
Speaker 2: down to the pub in a bit of a panic,
51:10
Speaker 2: going Jesus Christ, have we locked all the keys inside
51:13
Speaker 2: the house? Scandal right, including the side gate of the house.
51:19
Speaker 2: And in my head I saw the lane by knowing
51:24
Speaker 2: the lane problem because I jumped out of the car
51:26
Speaker 2: with five to six pints on boarder, I went, oh,
51:30
Speaker 2: if I had another beer, because I am definitely going
51:32
Speaker 2: back to the pub after I sort this shit for
51:34
Speaker 2: you if I had white literally Now you know there
51:39
Speaker 2: are times when you have to impress the in laws
51:41
Speaker 2: when you're dating the daughter. Yes, this was one of
51:44
Speaker 2: them times. Their gate, the side gates, timber gate, as
51:48
Speaker 2: you'd imagine, locked on the other side of the course
51:49
Speaker 2: with the padlock. Had you know the PVC perspective, wrinkley
51:54
Speaker 2: roof lean to roof that was covering the footpath, So
51:57
Speaker 2: we're talking maybe a foot and a half that best
52:00
Speaker 2: of a gap above that coming at a lean, I
52:04
Speaker 2: put one like, I mean, just close the door the
52:07
Speaker 2: car trotted over just one of those. So it's the
52:11
Speaker 2: high jump is what I'm going for. Dir the high jumps,
52:14
Speaker 2: you know, the hop skippy can't. They don't go run
52:16
Speaker 2: in full pelcher. They don't go run a full belt
52:19
Speaker 2: and dive over the fucking thing. They it's a kind
52:21
Speaker 2: of a long sweeping s they come, and that's kind
52:25
Speaker 2: of what my drunken legs did. And they ran across
52:29
Speaker 2: the yard in an s and one foot Now I
52:32
Speaker 2: will admit there was one foot up onto the gate
52:35
Speaker 2: and towned mid air without even thinking and slid under
52:40
Speaker 2: that maybe eighteen inch gap from door to perspect's wrinkly roof,
52:44
Speaker 2: didn't touch either one of them got through it and
52:48
Speaker 2: landed like the same way iron Man lands. Do you
52:53
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
52:54
Speaker 1: I mean landed because I was wonder like, how did
52:56
Speaker 1: you just like do the what the what they call
52:58
Speaker 1: it the Falsbury flo the we just land on your
53:02
Speaker 1: the high jumpers land on the back.
53:04
Speaker 2: No, I spawn again, I spawn again. I went ended
53:07
Speaker 2: up going a full three sixty through the thing to
53:10
Speaker 2: a degree because I did about seven foot turn of
53:13
Speaker 2: landing point had it down on the hand. The honkers
53:18
Speaker 2: was able to get into the garden shed. At that
53:20
Speaker 2: find the chisel and popped off. Noticed that their back door,
53:24
Speaker 2: insanely was an older timber door and the beating was
53:27
Speaker 2: on the outside with no body. Yeah, tappity tap tap
53:32
Speaker 2: with the chisel in the back of your hand. Had
53:34
Speaker 2: the thing open, I would say, in under two and
53:36
Speaker 2: a half minutes, and promptly gave it handed to her
53:40
Speaker 2: father the pane of glass and told him find the
53:43
Speaker 2: tach camera and put that back in and if you
53:44
Speaker 2: wouldn't min dropping us back to the pub plaze and
53:46
Speaker 2: even still they were all in silence. To this day
53:48
Speaker 2: she describes it herself, describes it as you were like
53:53
Speaker 2: a fish, that's all described. You just disappeared into this.
53:56
Speaker 2: You just disappeared without it making a noise.
53:59
Speaker 1: Because it was heavy there. Tom that your Olympic sport,
54:02
Speaker 1: A choice was breaking an entering.
54:04
Speaker 2: That was the long the reasoning behind it. But to
54:08
Speaker 2: this day, could I do it sober? Probably not? Could
54:11
Speaker 2: I do it just for the crack probably not. Utter
54:14
Speaker 2: desperation and trying to impress.
54:17
Speaker 1: Was because I'm here saying I'm doing I'm doing my
54:19
Speaker 1: son's Tom, so let me see I can't. I was
54:21
Speaker 1: at your wedding. But that wasn't yesterday, No, so you
54:25
Speaker 1: would have been twenty eight, twenty nine.
54:28
Speaker 2: About twenty eight, yeah, about twenty eight, yeah, time, which
54:30
Speaker 2: is not you know, Olympic athlete age.
54:34
Speaker 1: So you reckon to say a couple of years younger.
54:38
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ, jeez, a couple of more pints.
54:42
Speaker 2: I'd say I would have gone to be troubling the podium,
54:46
Speaker 2: I'd say, I'd say, I'm be going for silver. Was
54:49
Speaker 2: not going to be a bit too big head and
54:51
Speaker 2: say gold. But I'm gonna say i'd be. I'd be
54:52
Speaker 2: there there silver, well, I would would, I would by
54:57
Speaker 2: the right gear on. I was in jeans, jar was
54:59
Speaker 2: in jeans with five pints of tepway or whatever site
55:03
Speaker 2: I would drinking, I know, but but I it was
55:07
Speaker 2: literally something like where they have to pump it out
55:09
Speaker 2: of the fucking tap. Did you know it's this century
55:12
Speaker 2: where they put some guests behind the basketard thing. But anyway,
55:14
Speaker 2: I was full of that stuff and I cleaned it.
55:18
Speaker 2: I mean cleaned it didn't touch the door, didn't touch,
55:22
Speaker 2: and the roof and nothing slipped in over like a fish.
55:27
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's another two medals for Ireland in
55:30
Speaker 1: London twenty twelve, that'd be sweet. Yeah twelve years ago. Yeah, no,
55:34
Speaker 1: I didn't go back if I was twenty years ago Atlanta. No,
55:40
Speaker 1: that was Olympic. Hey what theoretical Olympics could me and
55:44
Speaker 1: Tom have have have competed that? But nevertheless, I'm getting
55:48
Speaker 1: at least a bronze after shipping myself in front of
55:51
Speaker 1: the world powerlifting something that's way too heavy and never
55:54
Speaker 1: walking the same again, no, never walking over there, he's in,
55:59
Speaker 1: he's soAnd good.
56:06
Speaker 2: Perfect.
56:07
Speaker 1: Tis good to me. If you find people think that
56:10
Speaker 1: we could not have medaled in the Olympics, that doesn't
56:12
Speaker 1: know when comments. But what would much rather is that
56:15
Speaker 1: you let us know what you could do in the Olympics,
56:17
Speaker 1: because there's four more years to come. Maybe you might
56:19
Speaker 1: get it yet. And still you can break you can drive,
56:22
Speaker 1: I mean you can skateboard. Thomas suppose it doesn't seem
56:25
Speaker 1: to be wrong with win Olympic medal these is I
56:27
Speaker 1: don't know.
56:28
Speaker 2: When I saw the breakdowns and things, I'm like, I thought,
56:30
Speaker 2: you know, I thought the Red BULLX Games is where
56:32
Speaker 2: if that kind of carry on was, especially when I
56:34
Speaker 2: saw the one. But I thought she was actually after
56:36
Speaker 2: breaking in to be found fair, I thought she was
56:38
Speaker 2: like after gate crashing it, and.
56:40
Speaker 1: You thought she was there to serve a subpoena to somebody.
56:43
Speaker 2: Do you know she did.
56:47
Speaker 1: For us?
