  Speaker 1: Ireland doing this. I think so at this level, at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: least Tom I will yeah, yeah, yeah, at this very
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: specific level.

  Speaker 3: But we like it.

• 4:38
  Speaker 1: episodes into it? Now we're rocking and rolling. And if
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you've never heard the show before. We break it up
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: into a couple of segments, such as this Fortune, where
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we took a look at the big news of the week,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the scuttle but the goings on, a segment we call
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the weekly what have you.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: This is a very complicated case, mad You know, a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: lot of a lot of outs, a lot of what
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: have you, and a lot of strands to keep.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: In my head.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Man, they're back in the news. There, They're back in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the news for all the right reasons. You never let
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: us get their critics, but they got their critics. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was there at the weekend and I clarified this news
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: story from the stage and a good few people, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: then I put it to the room and it was
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Americans and everything in the comedy club and.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They loved it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: They loved the idea.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Because a couple of weeks ago we had Center Gould
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: where he had the Jamaican he would have to draw
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: draw on the ivan and people thought he was Jamaica
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and whatnot. Well, this one is from a counselor, Oliver
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Morn of the Green Party or on Cork City. He's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on the Cork City Council and basically he put forward
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and it was being a bit tongue cheek because they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: were talking about like drawn tourism and stuff like that,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you know, and the likes of the Green Party would
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have their you know, with their beak, could have nice
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: but the stuff when it comes to tourism. But he
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to erect a tiny star, which I think has
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to happen now at this stage, a tiny statue commemorating
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the mosquito or midge that we would have in this
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: country that bit the rotten hunt from history. That was
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Oliver Cromwell who eventually died of malaria as a.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Laria from it. Now, phil in mc cromwell history, Tom,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Where did that take place?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So that this he actually got bitten in Cork? They
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: believe in he came back around because he had his
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: first gallery off the place as they're saying, Cork was
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: forty sixteen forty nine to sixteen fifty.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But he was back in Cork.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: For some more smashing in sixteen fifty eight and that's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: when like he got bit by a midge of some
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: sort and it was carrying a serious dose. But you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, this was a pay It had
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a payload target fucking sight it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And hard not to believe in some form of God, Tom,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: did you know do you know what I mean? Like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: no better man to get it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You've been beaten by a million midges as if I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I got it. Yes, I literally get him beard of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: them last night.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: They were just her images within the hour of talking
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Here, buddy, And they never did I get malaria off it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: never got malaria of a single one far away. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: he'd this dirty right rotten bastard got fucking got killed
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: as a result of being in Ireland.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You know when I said, Tom, and I don't say
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it awful about the dead, but good.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So to give anybody I do want to give because
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if people are listening to tuning in from I don't know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Scandinavia or something, which we do.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We have people all over the world, why don't they
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like this crumwell guy in Ireland?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Their love exactly?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So essentially this he was at this point in British history.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: British people didn't even particularly like him, but the new
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: government that was in was staunchly Protestant and their whole
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: thing was and he anti the royal anti royalists, you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: they were anti the monarchy themselves. They did were basically
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: dominating the situation, and he wanted this motherfucker basically he
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: was just savage and he would go anywhere they wanted
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: him to go. And he said they sent him into
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Ireland because they were a bit worried about there was
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: going to be another uprising, Like, yeah, there were, he
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: had been an uprising, like in the early part of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: sixteen hundreds. I'm not sure when it was, I'd be
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: shy on but essentially he took off a laid seed.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: He like, he dropped.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: They say raised, which I never understand that when they
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: level the place to the ground they call him raising
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it to the ground. It's like, I know it's spelled differently,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: but okay, all right, I'm sure it's old.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: English or whatever. But he he he killed three and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: a half thousand people in Drada. Do you know they
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: don't like him, and Draha don't and as.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And as Patrick McDonald would say, oh, I'm sure quoted
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: before he said and he did bad things as well.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, Cromwell, the English crowns blunt tool for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: sorting out foreign uprisings as some such a generous.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. He wasn't. He wasn't even he was.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He wasn't the actual monarchy. He hated him because he
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: was anti monarchy. He wanted to be full Church of England,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to take over full control of the place. So he
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: was actually trying to stamp out any sort of uprising
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that might be of the Catholics who were who actually
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: would have preferred the fucking royal family, do you know
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: what I mean? So he was stamping out them as
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: well as possibility of Royalists kicking up. He also took
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: whatever wealthy Irish landowners that wear here. That's when the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: real usurping started.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: That's what he was like, oh.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Myes and giving it to me five fucking and they
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: gave it to like adventurers who were investors. Up there
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was people invested.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, war, war doesn't change, doesn't.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, thank God, there's no real
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: world parallels we can draw to this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I know there were investors in that campaign to smash
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Ireland and steal basically what they could at the time,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and then anybody that survived, like they killed another two
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: thousand in Wexford if I remember correctly, and the pike
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: men of Westward Wexford almost had a decent rebellion, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: they did get quite drunk just before that fight.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: That happens.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But he sent whoever did survive, if it wasn't into
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: intended servitude, which we talked about on the Senator Gold
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: episode and white people ended up with that accident in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the Barbados. But he sent there was a phrase to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: hell or to conduct and that's where he'd send you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So if you're the lovely five hundred acres grown spuds
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: down and Wexford and was like, oh manving it off
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the fucking mayar with you and you're like, what's mayo
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: find a.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Funk off to Hades or belt Herbert, and that's.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: That's essentially brought about.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Then the you know, poor on misfortunes and that's where
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the plague really came from. But I would do have
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to stick in before we circle back and give this
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: midgie a huge around of laws.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Huge.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I do have a personal thing with Cromwell, which I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was only telling the small that about the other day.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: He the only place that he actually really suffered very
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: badly and he lost close to two and a half
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: thousand men himself, was at the Gates of clanmel Here
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in Tipperary.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: He knew.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He eventually did take it, but it was more of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a fucking moral victory. He was absolutely depleted, but he
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: knew at that stage that these fuckers are melting down
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: their silver and using them as fucking bullets, and he
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: was like, well, I can't beat these guns. So he
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: eventually did take it, but he circled back and was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: back in fifty ninety or sixteen fifty eight to Cork
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to lay siege to Cork and le siege he attempted,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: but he got He got fucking bitten by a midge.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So come back to present day, Yeah, and our and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: our good Green party antler. Now he suggests that we
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: build a tiny, tiny statue, which I think is hilarious
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: if you have a tiny little put a huge a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: huge plaque, a huge plan little But you have to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: think now that he said that as a joke, like
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they we're like, what do we build that? Who we
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: build a statue to? Huh? Who do we build a statute?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Will we build a statue of Big Tom Or will
• 12:23

• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you are tell you a great save you on silver wise,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Ah build a statue to a mage.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: And everybody laughed and yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Everybody laughed in the Parliament today because it was supposed
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to be tong and cheap, because they wanted to bring
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: up obviously tourism things and they want he said that,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you know, as you said to himself, there's a thousand
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: years of good history and corp with great like there was.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: There's a there's a great story and there was a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: bar memorating the story of it. And it's a did
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you ever hear the song on poker bulla? It's an
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Irish and it basically tells the story of the day
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: this goat went fucking mad at a.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Marriage and.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And he went mad, and it's a great story of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: how he fucking knocked over all sorts.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Of I can buy. I believe every fucking bit of
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that story.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, the song is brilliant.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And there's a there was a big of pub for
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the longest time called the Goat Broke. The Goat Broke
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Loose was the name, and it was a great pub

  Speaker 2: into it. And nobody and there's fucking nobody to this
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: day could say that Cromwell was.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: He was a fucking horrible con to everybody.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And it's like building a statue to the bullet that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Hitler put through his own head.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the I that was literally what I said on
• 14:01

  Speaker 2: it's such a bit of crack. People got grant great,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: get a picture with the unpil taking a slash who chair.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I swear to god I would be there. I'd be
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: there for the opening up that if if if.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You're taking a picture and you're just going like this
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing behind you, but you're like, no, no,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: it's there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Zoom zoomage.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You gotta like one of those you know, iPhone seventeen
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: zoom Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I think it's a.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Huge, big, oversized plaque. Then do you know what I mean?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Not a huge I'm gonna tell you this now, Tom,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and we'll move on from the bit. Even if the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: motion is defeated and there's no public money going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to to make this thing s Lord nose, Air, fucking balance,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: grape and great masters of this world and be like,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: oh no, we can't offend the good name of Cromwell.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: You yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Can't see it getting moving ahead with public funding and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. I think the good people
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: at Cork should do it anyway.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: What listen, you're called the rebels, stand up and be
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: counted for this stage.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Now getting some Just someone melt down a silver spoon,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you only need the type of it and make yourself
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a little statue. Now.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I'm glad.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you have brought up about core people donning
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: themselves there because the one thing that would worry me
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that if this did get green lit, would be the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tendering process. Because as you've seen public public construction and
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: civil works that have been going on down through the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: last couple of years here in Ireland, a life size
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: mosquito could cost north of about two hundred and eighty thousand.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I would imagine.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Just just just do it yourself, do it yourself.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Plenty of good craftsmen and women down there, get down
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: there a good artist from Kinsale or something. Just just
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: make as a mosquito, bronze mosquito there you go. Would
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: have been a little smile on his face, like.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And dim up and sting him again where they're at it?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: How about that commere time. We'll push on with the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: bit here now on the Tom and Jerry Show into
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the second segment of the show where we pick these
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: lads from the from the well, I hang on, go
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: back a little bit there. You're drinking out of a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Mayo mug.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I got given yeah, well spotted, I got given this
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: In a very strange scenarios opening for Chris Kent in
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Mayo one night and the TF just prior, about ten
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: minutes prior, we got accosted by staff who we didn't
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: know were staff. They didn't introduce themselves to staff. They
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: just came in with a camera, microphone, two cameras microphone
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and an interviewer who is.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The cook report and fucked.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But then they handle us a bag of paraphernalia with
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Mayo things stuff on it and said, okay, let's have
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: a bit of crack with he taking out some Mayo
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: teamed items, all absolute Chinese may and I won't lie
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I had to run the bastard because I said, I'm sorry, mate,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: but you should have been here half an hour ago.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I'm about to fucking walk on stage if you don't.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Mind, Magic's about to happen here.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: And what's the purpose of this?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: He went, Oh, just for promotion, and to which point
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Chris went, this has been sold out for six months.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: We uh, promotion is kind of done on that one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Can we fucking move on? So we ended up walking
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: away with a bunch of this I gave. I think
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I gave one Colgan. I think I gave him an
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: air freshener from that smelt of Mayo. You go, And
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I walked away because I do love a good cup
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: for anybody. I mean, there's a Mayo fell of standing
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on what would seem to be a football dublin for
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a I mean, it's absolutely generic and you could swap
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that jersey out with a tip jersey and what not,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and but not men but giants, it says Mayo. Fair enough,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: but giants like fucking bridesmaid's dresses. It would seem jer
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: because they've been in like twenty six finals and last
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: focal since.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: The course we should talk about the course of.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Mayo sometime where they they did the bus and a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: funeral and all the rest of them.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: They've run the last fuck they won, fuck all since.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: More and all that. In a later episode of The
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Tom and Jerry Show, you know as mad, we got
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: through the segment with Cromwell without gold mad all that much,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and then we get talking about me. I can I'll
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: tell you who can fuck off?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Do you know what? We honeymounded me. I have a
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: soft spot for me. I do like that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like me just fine.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It's not it has no airs and graces, which is
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: what I like.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Anyway. Second segment of the show, This Lad, Now there's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: this Lad picks up this week Tom with and again
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for the listeners of the Tom
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and Jerry Show who are quite frankly doing our jobs
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: for sending us fun things to see. This is the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: curious case of the French.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Do you know what?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Who are drunk as fuck?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Well? This is the most French deer I've ever seen.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Like it's just he's leaping around. Anybody who can find
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: this video? Jerry was sure we'll find it and put
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: it up there. He's the He's going around the worldli
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: gig flying around the kind of a hayfield by himself.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: And my initial thought when I saw it, I went,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I'll stay away from that joke, and has fucking rabies.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Or something, Yeah exactly.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: But then if out of his France and immediately went
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to he's probably steaming just I don't know why he is.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: These are These are the deer ladies and gentlemen from
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: saone in the war which I think my pronunciation is
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: pretty good on that, Tom sa the war in France,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and they are drunk as fuck running them up in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the fields. There is videos, as Tom said, there of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: them doing doughnuts in the in the middle of it,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: running up to Brazilian lads on bikes buying pills, running
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: around the place.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's pure French.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: One of them is smoking a fact I filter FA
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: on top of that too, like just little beret on
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: his head. He's got a stripey top on. He's going
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: fucking ape ship around the hayfield. We forget David Swaffen
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: like that. France is fair culture too. Like there there's
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: there's some amount of France.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I probably both know boys that moved
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: from here to buy farms in France and settle down
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and fit in incredibly nicely, because it on the temperament
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of the place is buying large similar to what we
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: have here. But I'll tell you what we don't have
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that they appear to have in France. Tom is apples
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: fermenting on the branch. Is it what has become the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: ruin of this poor year?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Because that was my first question was going where can
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I get somebody these? Because it just to me and
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: he was fermented fruits. They left it wide open, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: my first thought was can I get my hand? Because
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: anybody wants to go back through the archives or you've
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: been living listening with us for ten years, you know
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: they had a segment for a couple of seasons called
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: My Drunkest Ever where we got real fucked up and
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: we told stories about it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: You also might remember a special that we did one
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: time about how to make pot cheens and how to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: misted liquors and all this kind of thing. Come to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: find out, just go to Sion and La War in
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: France and eat it straight off the fucking trees. That's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: what the apples that are either on the trees or
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the falling off and they're they're kind of half rotten
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and whatever the makeup on nature of this apple is.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It's rotting in such a way that it's basically fermenting.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: And those apples are Moorish. It seems the deer are
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: eating them either straight off the three or from the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: ground and and and and the being fermented fruit. Tom,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it's it's fermented apples. It's clonmel champagne maybe either on
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the side or they're on the cider.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: It's not which again, it's not if if if you,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: if you use AI to go through our podcast, you'll
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: find that we did we Jerry and myself we did
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: an episode about submarine people getting fucked up, drinking.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: People on drinks and how to make potin and all this.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Kind of it's just mosh fruit and that's it. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: these these poor old deer, I suppose can you imagine
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: though I'm guessing at this stage they're pure French deer,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: right they fair not What they're doing is the crack
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: every year.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You have to assume, Tom, they've given their French deer
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that they're a little bit drunk to be green.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: They're probably born a bit drunk, just know, and they
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: just and every so often that's that, and they you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: they're just not they're not They're just there for them.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I would imagine these deer knew that they were going
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to get pissed on these apples, because that deer looks
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: like all the time.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: He looks like he's on on the tail end of
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a three day bend, or like as Tom said, there,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it really looks like the animal is ray. But now
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that doesn't stop people approaching this animal, which is a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: wild deer to begin with, but dangerously booking and throwing
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: their legs in the back there deer. You know what
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it is about deer, Tom, And we see it up
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: in Phoenix Park here as well, that people think deer
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: because they look nice, are nice animals, and they'll approach them.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you're going about the right way of getting
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: rotted into the ground there. I made Bomby.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: We're just one step I've actually gotten. I've got to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: get it from America. Would you believe it's a new product,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: so I'll have my little little backpack sprayer nice. Now
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it's organic, so it's actually it will suit your plants
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But by all account to my
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: goats and.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Local the deer we have here.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Fucking hate the smell of this stuff, so you can't
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: it's not really you won't get into the nostrils as
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: a human, but I know.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It's some I'm it's like outor piss or something like that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I'm doing the French here
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: at this stage. I believe it when I fucking see it,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: because these motherfuckers, our guys are so brazen. They would
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you know, they'd hold you at knife point if they
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: could hold a knife. That's what they were dealing with here.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Did sharpen their horns and their antlers on on like
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a bit of a stick or something.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And if anybody wants to go back to my Instagram,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: you will see what one that we call the king
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: around here. He's been, he survived many as a hunt
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and he is He was during the root last year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I was driving home for a gig late up our
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: lane and what can only described as a twelve pointer
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and as a big boy when you can get a
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: twelve pointer in Ireland. He's trotting in front of me
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: jar and I mean trotting. He he had ninety four
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: opportunities to run into a field.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you go into the field.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And the following night he was out a little further
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: up there with eleven of his bodies. The rout had
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: stopped that stage, but they still had all their antlers,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: so they weren't fighting. Now he'd twelve of the lads
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and they all stood in the middle of the road
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and stared at me.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: A couple of moved, he didn't.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: He walked slowly down the side of my car, stared
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: in the I could I was processpot, couldn't even get
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the phone out. He stared in the window like, that's
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the right motherfucker I own this town.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, we.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Out tonate lad?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Is this? Yeah?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Like going straight at home?
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Put the window down their license and registration kind of moment.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I'm serious there. If that guy was on fucking on
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the sauce, run and I mean run, yeah, because he
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: will fuck you up. Like he had a set of
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: spikes hanging six on each side and probably two and
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a half foot long of spikes hanging off his head.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: That he would.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You all, here's the thing to you say. Run? Do
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you know who else says run? The French cops they
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: said run. They're telling Hey, be cautious. This is this
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: is like a known thing in the area. There are
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: drunk deer in a wooded area, small country roads going through.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Please drive carefully, keep an eye out for the drunk deer,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: because we promise you they are not keeping an eye
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: out for you. Now here's the thing, acking the lad
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: hacking the bollocks for traffic cones on their heads.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pissing in public like they there? Does one cancel
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the other? Because there's a strong possibility being French drivers,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that they're also drunk. I mean, are they going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: avoid each other on the road because of osmosis like it?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Are they going to you know, being telepathic for drunk?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I think the only safe thing to do, Tom is
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: just avoid this where the war region of France for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the time being.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Look, let the apple season pass, whatever their season. I mean,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: it's fucking early in the season for apples, like unless
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: they're crab apples. No crab, it's even two are maybe
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Look it's eastern France, which is obviously way warmer than here.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe their apples come out earlier in this eason.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Who's to say, But I'll tell you wonder them that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I do know about apples, Tom and you know it
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: as well. They are a seasonal fruit. So I won't.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be around here in about three
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: or four months when all these apples are gone and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: these deer have had a taste apples.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And then, Dick, what's the of the apples?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: What is the crack with the apples? I didn't look
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: at any apples.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Today, well as the apples you passed out. I will
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: that's all got New Jack City. Then he's just scratching
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: with his scratched his neck.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: A man, I'm my lady Joseph.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: For some apples. Man just smoking a little fag inside
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: his hoof, but backwards.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, like fellows under pressure.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: All right. I don't know if we have any French
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: listeners in always Irish probably run them away. But here
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: we are.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: We have an Irish couple that listen.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: They are near Larrochelle in southern France and they listen
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: as well, so they probably know all about this, although
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: they're a bit more refined on that neck of the woods.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I think we we would like to take this opportunity
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to warn them of the drunk deer.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Don't be heading to eastern it'd be where it is
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: because I looked it up. It's kind of if you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: imagine where Dublin would be. Yes, Dublin slash deer would
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: be the Dublin of France, which makes it lot gravity speak,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean this is a too yeah no,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: if if, if, indeed, we do have a pair of
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: listeners in Lara Shell, please be careful of the deer.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: If it's one thing that Tom and Jerry Show can't
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: afford to do, it's lose.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Not our French contingent. Anyway, Geez lost the whole country.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: We get a grant for you too.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And you know, if you know of any drunk animals
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: here in Ireland, please let us know. I personally would
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: love to get my dog drunk. I think you'd be
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: great give them drink.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: It accidentally happened when we were in college. We adopted
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the dog, and I say adopted the dog. A dog
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: wandered into our student house.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't leave.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: He had no color, he'd know nothing. He looked a
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: bit shaggy. So we washed him and we got him
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: dog food and everything. We looked after him. His name
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: became Declan I don't know why. He just looked like
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: declan the dog now in mungrel everything, and he I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: going to say it was accidental, but I'd say it
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: was accidental. There was the makings of about half liter
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: in a thro what you remember those contry spring ones.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I think I've heard about this. It was Whitesider called
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Frosty Jack six percent. And during a bit of a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: sash after saying I bought a half liter, we reckon
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: was left in it and he knocked it up.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It was on the floor with no cap on it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: He tapped it over. None of us had knocked it
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: over because my room was right beside the kitchen.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I came out at about seven o'clock in the morning,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: dying to hear the dog howl and but singing howl
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: like having like the out triangle. He was gone full
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Luke Kelly, this dog. He was having the time of
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: his fucking life. He went, you know, proceeded to to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: just something never did. He went and just pissed into hall,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: panned out everything he could get his teeth wrong, because
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: there was a couple of crisps knocking around the sitting room,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He fucking kicked over his
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: bowl of food. He was in fucking ribbons, falling around
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the place, puked then in the sittingroom, and then slept
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it off for day. Was not right for two days
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: after a grumpy fucker. He was declan was but we
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: felt for him.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: We're only separated by a couple of the genomes there.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: But exactly it was carbon coppy. We all understood exactly.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: We even went up to the a veternory clinic to
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: see if there was dire light for dogs.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: So much we felt for this. Forekunt he was ribbons.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: He was. To be fair, thank god he didn't have
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: a phone, because I'd say, we've been fucking the fear
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: would have been honest.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Sending pictures of his fucking lipstick rocket.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: To be fair, it was too far, no, he all
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: he would have been able to do, is said like
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: because it was to that far back. There was no
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: real camera phones at the time. It was just you
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: would have to send the picture using like eboji dog cock.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: That was the only other time I've.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Ever experienced what I think some of that that has
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: talked about their dogs robbin or hash and stuff like that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: But it was the only time I've ever experienced DRUMK.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you one thing. I'd take my chances
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: with fermented apples laying rotted hum and e's an apple tree,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: then I would with a three leader of fucking scrumpy jack.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: That.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you that much now, because I remember
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: there's a segway coming here to my I feeded that
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: drink before myself, and you and I both remember a
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of shit. Because both Tom and I are
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: whistling through our forties as we speak, I'm telling you
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: we've We've seen a lot of shit coming, a lot
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: of shit go on our time on this course at
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: fucking Rock, Tom through what we call the fulcrum of life.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: We talk about it in the final sigment of the show,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: which we call we Remember When.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: When I was a young lad twenty or thirty or
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: forty years ago.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: We remember a lot of things Tom. This one we
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: remember from because it's in the news more or less,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Stephen's Green Shopping Center. Everybody's losing the mind about Steven's
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Green Shoping Center. And we were going to have it
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: as the as the big news this week.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: But they're very sentimental in Dublin, aren't they. When it
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: comes to structures, and.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm going to tell you, and we
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: probably won't get too much into whether or not they
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: should leave Stephen's Green as it is, Tear Stephens Green
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: down and build a new building fucking converted into a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: cattle yard, resent and you could do with it. But
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that it is a shopping center, which people,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you know, people I think are losing the mind a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: little bit and they're forgetting that this isn't you know
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Michael Collins home.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not Christ ripping it down like you know.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's not St Patrick's spot like that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: This is a shopping center.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It's never for anybody who's never been there, you kind
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: of go, what's it's slapped right, slap bang in the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: city center at the top of Grafton Street, and it
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: had it it would when you walk into it. There
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: are like you'd see the girders and stuff like that
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: are more decorative and there's a bit no Art nouveau
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's a bit stylish, but at the
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: same time looks quite fucking dated. So you could you
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: could see it coming from a mile off because there's
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the units shutting down it isn't fit for purpose in
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways. But people have their you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: like they pull big fucking towers and stuff there. People
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: like what they're like, and you know, there's nostalgy.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to be said, you know, there's nostalgia. Yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and then there's like, well, let's stop letting these cons
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: come into our country and level all their buildings and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: put up hotels. Like putting another fucking modern there doesn't
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: do anything. No, I I agree with that, and I'm
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: okay with that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: And the plan is, the plan, it would seem, is
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: to they're gonna know, they're gonna stink one hundred million
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: into this and has to turn make it another bit
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: of a shopping center, put a cinema in there, put
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: commercial space in the way of office spaces, so they
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: reckon there will be three thousand employees working the spot,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: so you know, and it's to be developed by the owners,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the owners of ours. So it's not actually a crowd
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: sailing in which.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Is which is there's something to be said for that,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I mean to say, like someone's going
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to fucking grab that little bit of audio of me
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and it will be is many like there's too many
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: cans coming into this country and no I like it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I left right. I mean to say developers, I mean
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: to say, developer, you're dead writer and this writing podcast
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: should fucking I don't know. Maybe we'll get maybe we'll
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: get a huge listenership. Pump out of may tell me
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: so real quick.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: But it is owned.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: It's just to give people a quick insight in case
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: they're going, is this you know, because it has happened
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: where vulture groups will just come in. This place wasn't
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: going backwards. It was doing fine, but it's time for
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: fucking agussie up. Essentially is what it's getting it. That's
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: what it's getting. And I would have no doubt Dublin
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: City counter Council have preservation orders put on all sorts
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: in that thing, like you know, down to the metalwork
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: and stuff inside that it will have to be graciously
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: done up now. It will probably get done for one
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: hundred million and not one of these public.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Works jobs that's going on at the minute.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Because if it's getting done by the people who own it,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: your it's going to come in on fucking But because
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: it's now this May, I don't want to rankle your
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: feathers immediately, right, But I'm.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Just going to give you who owns it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: It's a company called d T d L d T
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: d L which stands for something to do It dush
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: nook licking house.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Right. It is a British Virgin Islands registered property in
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: hold on hold on, hold on hold on hold on.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: The isle man sitting right there, like.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: At least it would seem when you dig down a
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: little bit. It's linked to the wealth management firm called Davy.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Division of BANKIPI.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: The ultimate beneficial owners are shielded by the corporate structure,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: which is a smart thing to do. Right.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: You're going, who what.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to be like the fucking frog from Danger Mouse.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just feeling back.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: But cor profilings linked this director high profile business figures. Ah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Timothy out Away, all right, a guy called Timothy Outaway.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: And you're like and Ornolf lob blaken right, and you
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: go after fox, say who are these two bastards? Well?
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I think the lads are just suits who are.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Basically shielding JP McMahon's and John mcneer because that's who
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: fucking owns it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Had a tip then now here's the.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Thing, right, people are listening to us going about since
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Stephen's Green Shopping Center, and they're probably thinking one thing, Tom,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: They're probably thinking, I'm not hearing a lot of remembrance
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: stuff going on that we remember when true. I just
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: wanted to get it, just just to set up because
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: when we say people are acting like to Stephen's Green
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: is just like, oh, it's like the Crystal Palace over
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: in London. It's this incredible long standing thing has been
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: there for hundreds of years. Now. The pull of the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: time Stephens Green is built in their lifetime.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Tom to us, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's not
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: get it get ahead of ourselves.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the building was before, but it was.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: It was nothing. It was it was it was flat
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: ground and a car park coming in there, and the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: things it was cut from whole cloth. There might have
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: been some sort of cattle mart or some such there.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But when I say since Stephen's Green Shopping Center was
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: built in their lifetimes, Tom, I'm saying that pretty much
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: every shopping center in the country was built in their lifetimes.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: This is a relatively new phenomenon that as most of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the things are that we talk about it on this
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: final segment, it's a phenomenon that reached a peak during
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: our formative years. We've watched it come from its infancy
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to its zenith, and then we've just watched the die
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: off over twenty years. That's what we've done with shopping centers.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Like I know the very first one
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: that was deemed a shopping center and it's still there.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: It's the still Organ Shopping Center in South Dublin. And
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you would say shopping center, but it's not kind of
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: all in one roof. It's it's like a bunch of
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: strip malls.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I guess you'd call strip malls in America, because even
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the male culture in America is a very sort of
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: late seventies, early ages. It used to be the high street.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: You would go to a town, yeah yeah, and everything
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you needed was in that town.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Which was on that main street. Yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: More people, more cars, less parking, clutter, crashes, all this
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: kind of crack. So what happened not just in Ireland,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: not in a phenomenon, but everywhere They started to build
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: these massive shopping centers, which was basically following the template
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: of putting in a massive grocery shop, the supermarket. Yeah,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: as the anchor anchor tenant and then surrounding that with
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a bunch of shit that you could do while they
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: were there. And here was the good thing I felt
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: about shopping centers, Tom, is that they put in the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: grocery store. Again, this is Ireland in the eighties. They
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: put in the grocery store for mam to go and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: do the shopping there, and they surrounded it with a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: bunch of shops and a bunch of things that the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: rest of the family could enjoy.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: So it was like man goes to the shops, Dad
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: goes to get the get his haircut at the barbers,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: or goes to the butchers or whatever. Yeah, the kids
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: can go to the bookshop or the tie shop, or
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the Golden record shop or or the ear Pierson place
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: or the poster shop. Tom. So it was like fun
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: for all the family for an hour and a half
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: while man was in filling the trolley. Yeah back Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Free parking, remember, free parking, that.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Was the thing.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: One time I got so stung. The other night I
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: fucking nearly passed out.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: But anyway, wants.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Christ and and there it was. And we had a
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: hot run of that from the eighties into the nineties
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: of the of the classic shopping center. Now, did you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: have one at home?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I know, I know we talked briefly about No, we didn't.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: We didn't at all.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: We had like this.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: The high street was and it's still the high street
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: in Tipperary and it's it's same in care klan Mel
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: No high street was is still the way of it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Now there's a there's a very small shopping center called
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Done what used to be the showgrounds, and.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a small one. The anchor shopping a
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: t K Max, you know what I mean.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: There's an M and S. There's a little bit M
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: and S. There's a couple of more things in there,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: but like the you know, I ain't bring my kid
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: in there to fucking burn through two hours because he like,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: there'll be a couple he'll just look at the car
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: racing thing where you put to your by the way,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: you know, and he looked at that thing or whatever
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: that's about the size of it. But he's bored that.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I was fucking mind the second we walk in there
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: is like I had things in here. It's like, no,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: there's not not for me.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: There's not the there was a shopping center and cart
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and cross. But it was two separate buildings right connected
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: by an alley, right, so you know, for the longest
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: time you would you would be forgiven for thinking it's
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: just two separate things. But the big grocery end of
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the thing was a whole building onto itself, and then
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: you cross the alley and in there there was an
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: extra vision and a butcher and a coffee shop and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: through time a jewelry shop and all this and like
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the record shop that I bought with forced ever recorded,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Yeah, that's and it was
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the shopping center.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Well there was I tell a lie back in the
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: boom of it all the late I suppose, middle nineties,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: right onto the early two thousands, which is when Ireland
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: was really starting to wake up and people were making it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: You know, money was starting to come into the country.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: And there was a suon Broo Quinn built and it
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: was the anchor to all this pedestrianized alleyway all around it,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: and restaurants opened up and there was there was a
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Golden discs or one of these HMV or one of
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: these was there as well. Now it wasn't all under
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: one roof, but it was. It was all brought together again.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Man could go in do the shot the shop and
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I could go in, and I remember buying my first
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I think I talked about it on this many as
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: the time, my first ever album. It was.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: House of Pain, nice, fine mot lyrics.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: There was parental and your mama's kind of looking at me.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I was like madmasone super quien, go on, I don't care.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: He wasn't much older than me.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: The guy said, sit and.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Listen to it with me, mom and dad.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: So it was but looking through it like I mean,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: some monster. The ones came flying up.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: That's the nineties.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Like the other one, the other one that we had
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: access to, and you've heard me talk about this before,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: was the shopping center and and doc Old Dog Shop,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: which I have so much fond memories of it, because
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: that really the morning charc was.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: You know, yes, but it was small town.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: It was like the road went inside for a little while,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and that was but the one in in in and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: talk forget about it. It had like a huge crazy
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: prices and the Quinnsworld and what not three times, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: then all around it Carl's book Shop upstairs, all this
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: sort of crack record shops. I bought a fucking Nintendo
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: sixty four of there, Tom, this is what we're talking about,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: and then the talk round about the mid nineties got
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: a second shopping center, and then in the mid two
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: thousands time this is what I want to. I want
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: to I've just been kind of making peace with this
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: myself throughout it all about not how we lost the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: run of ourselves, but how something just kind of changed.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: All right. It must be said that most of the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: small of the shopping centers in Ireland up to this point,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and at this stage now, all of a sudden, you've
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: gotten the Ilac Center. I remember the I Like Center,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the square I do remember the Isle Center open and
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the square in Taler, and these be advertised on the radio.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: It's the Square Tala, like this Surcus is in town
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and it's here to stay your ass.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: We've got one hundred shops, five thousand car.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Parks, a less pyramid on top of it, and.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: All this kind of crack. But I want to say,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: please correct me if I'm wrong. I frequently am. But
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: for the most part of the mid nineties early two
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: thousands there thereabouts, that all or most of the shops
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: that were in shopping centers were locally owned. They weren't
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: necessarily franchises, so someone might have had a chemist in it, yes,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: but you didn't have a boots yet.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I think you're right, I know what I mean.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It was sort of because o'mahan, o'man he did all
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: right for himself on the high street and then in
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the shopping center and put in He's dread shop or
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, just needed the extra room.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: And I think if there was chains, you know what
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, like golden discs, they were Irish owned, if
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's what I have in
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: my head. I don't remember a cost of coffee being.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: There until until round about the mid two thousands, thousand
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: and five thereabouts. And I know the one that was
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: in the Dog was called the Marshes thousand and four
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: thousand and five. And I feel like a lot of
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: these jumped up around the time where these Okay, another
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: shopping center opened in your town which dwarfed the old one.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Forget about the old one for that place. This is
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: five times the size of it, and the shops of
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: it are even fancier. But at this stage now it
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: was franchises. It was hmv. It was boots, it was Pennies,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: it was River Island man. Yeah, fucking yeah, this kind
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: of thing as opposed to Omahaney's drapery and the Bride's
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: electrical It was like up and up and up, and
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: then two thousand and akme Tom.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the hole fell out of everything. Do you know
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: what it is?
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: If there was one thing in Ireland that absolutely mirrored
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: the economic carry on in Ireland? Do you know, like
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: we were people were getting like not everybody at a
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: car in the sixties and seventies, but as everybody started
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: to get cars, then the high street became a bollox.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: You know, Yes, you got the high street now in
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: the UK, and they're typically pedestrianized and one is a
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: fucking horrific carbon copy of another one.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: God, the UK allowed themselves to be absolutely molested.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: It's one super drug after a fucking you know, spec
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: savor and it's just one carbon copy. You could literally
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: lift the plan out of you know, Bolton and drop
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: it into fucking Bristol. It looks the fucking same like.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: But as well as people got cars, people got you know, modernization,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the high street became fucking be There's no parking. Now
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: we need to need a parking garage under our shop
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: or around our shop always we can put all the Okay,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: So that's Ireland kind of getting a bit fucking We're
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: all have you know, the Ford Escort, you know, fucking
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: the you know whatnot and you know the the the
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: open Omega and whatnot.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: We have the eighties.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Now we have supermarkets that are they have more than
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the the news agents and butchers and so now we're
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: into that. Then you're into the nineties and we're starting
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: to get a bit of a notion of ourselfs Now
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: we're wearing nef jackets, you know, raver jeans.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we're getting We're getting up. We're up.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: I suppose what would you call us optimistic about our
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: future now, which is something we never wear. Mobile, Yeah,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: upwardly mobile. We were never that in Ireland. We were
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: just fucking downtrodden down, beating people.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: And more money to spend and we needed places to
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: spend it.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And by the time the you know, the two thousand
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: and one onwards, when I came back from America at
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: that time, I remember thinking, because we used to go
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: to this building called the Potential Building in Boston, not
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: to hang around because but it was it was, you know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: thirty stories of I'm guessing thirty stories of both office
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: and real real tale space. But they had a food
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: courtyard that I've yet to see to beat. It was
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: fucking brilliantly designed, all eating the one spot and put
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: all the different None of them seemed to be overly branded,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: but all of the from the nations around the world
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: had different So you had Korean all the way through
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: the barbecue, you know what I mean, and everything in between.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: They give away.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Loads of samples there nice so we would just clean
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: up on that scenario. But I came back to Ireland
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: and you're kind of gone, oh yeah, Well, of course
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: it makes sense that we felt good in America because
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: we're here now we've shopping centers. It's two thousand and one,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: we're after the fucking races.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: And then of.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Course by two thousand and eight, when the whole fell
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: out of the world, money wise, it fell out of
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: and we didn't know what it was to We thought
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: we were amazing for like seven years because we had
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: money and spending was gone crazy. But of course then
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: are fucking shopping centers. Nobody any shopping centers that were
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: planned completely ground at.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: All, and any that were there at home they struggled.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know in the talk there was you know,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: there were pushing that we two shops centers, and then went
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: with three, and then went with four, and went with
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: five and then two thousand and eight height, and it
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: was like does this ten neat five fucking shopping?
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: So we could probably do with the one good week.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Time for the access swing here now so they're not
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: one putting a big tesco on stilts, and then so
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: one as a fourth Jimmy Quick Jody got married.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: The the and then of course you had kind of
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: getting your like the lights of the Crumblin shopping Center
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: which became famous, like you know, which.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Is now a lot of the surviving shopping centers were
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: so old fashioned, yeah, that they became sort of meme
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: iratic center.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, Like anyway, like I don't know if any of
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: the Facebook, I'm guessing they've stopped it now because here
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: we have found ourselves now in twenty twenty six, swinging
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: full circle, and I guess they're just kind of going,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: you know what, I think there's the population is there
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: because the population has doubled in a lot of places.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Let's go again.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: So they're building a big, fancy Krumlin shopping center now
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: right as his weak And.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: This this, this brings us back around tom To to
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the evolution of shopping centers. Godam, we've had a front
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: row seat for it all. I was never quite the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: right age, in the right place to be the kind
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: of person that hung around the shop. And yeah, because
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: if he hadn't been living Dundalk when I was a teenager,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I would have hung around that place all fucking day.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see it happening, all right.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: And I think you know, we've definitely talked about our
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: childhood just not being that, and I don't.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I probably would have.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Just it's not because there's shops there, because you would
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: have had no money.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't had no money, But other kids.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Are going to be hanging around there, and it would
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: have been the cool spot.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you about one.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Where it's is it saying Paul Street or say I'm
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: nearly sure it's a It's a shopping center right in
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: the city center of Cork, about fifty meters off on
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: a pedestrianized section near the opera house and they actually
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: have technology j plase. Yeah, it actually plays a tone
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: that our ears can't hear. Anybody plus sixteen can't hear it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Anybody's sub sixteen, It'll fucking send them away. It's like
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: scaring off pigeons.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: I know the exact thing, tongue. And I'll tell you
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: one thing, now, can you Yeah, I've got I've got
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: mad ears here. Now I can hear that tone. And
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what other tone I can hear. I
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: can hear the tone from the you know, the mouse
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: repeller that you plug into the wall. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I can hear that as a tin foil on my teeth.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I fucking so yeah, it's it's it's it's maddening.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: And then now that's an old shopping center. It's so
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: old that no, I haven't been on there and if
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: you've probably a year or two.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: But the it's made.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: From aluminium windows, if you get me, And the aluminium
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: is brown and the windows are brown tints, do you
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: get me?
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Like it's propery, it's like proper.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: And they haven't they haven't needed to up to change
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: it up at all, Like they're like, well, it just
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: funcus as it is, and I kind of like it
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: for that that it's a bit shite looking, you know.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Well, here's what I want to tell you. I want
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to tell you about the finally evolution of shopping centers,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: which is what is happening right now. This is the
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: last step of it. And I figure they're just doing
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: whatever they tend to exist as a thing. And if
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: this fails, Tom in ten your time, that's it. There's
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: nothing else to it. You'll find that the big shopping
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: centers that are happening now, and indeed, this is why
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: they're pulling down to Stephen's screen to do this kind
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: of thing. It's not a shopping center that you go
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to buy things because you can buy everything you want
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: all online, and the people that would go to a
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: shop to buy a thing are dying off, or the
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: older generation and the younger generation, you and I when
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: we want to buy it online, simple as that. So
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: to draw people into a crowd, you need something that
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: you can't buy online. Okay, you can't buy a haircut online.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I've fucking tried.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: So you'll always have room for a barbershop, You'll always
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: have room for a tattoo. Parallel or all this kind
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of cracka and you'll always have room for restaurants. You'll
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: find that the New York shopping centers are the ones
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: that have destination restaurants in them, such as Nando's Orlans
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, you know Milano exactly. And it's this
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: kind of thing that you know that a lot of
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: the renovation that's going on up in our own beloved
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Blancherstown Center up here is bringing in more and more
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: destination food places. Krispy Kreme came in a couple of
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: years ago, Tackle Bell, We're getting a fucking Popeyes. Popeye
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: is going getting a Popeyes. Checking see what I'm saying. Nothing,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: there's nothing in the world would drag your ass tom o'man,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: you know, to the Blancherstown Center to buy in it.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: What would you want? Everything in this office, Jure has
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: been bought. Practically everything has been bought online, like down
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: to our microphones.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Like, I'll tell you one thing, Michael to Blanche for Popeyes.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: If you're at that one.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: This is the tea.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: And they they're more and more they're putting like leisure
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: facilities to they'll.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Always get put in cinemas, and fucking.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: You have to have the cinema, you have to have
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: a you know, they have a few things now that
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: have to be going on inside there, like to warned
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: people landing on into the place, exactly like you were saying,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: the different foods, the different activities. Nearly is like you
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: need to create a bit of a fucking circus and
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: a bit of a.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Buzz and a coffee shop and all the kind of thing.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Because every shopping center we've talked about up to this point,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: tom As you said yourself, the food court in America,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: you've never seen anything like it, the food courts that
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: went in even to the Marshal's shopping Center in two
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: thousand and five and thereabouts. I'll tell you what it was.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: It was a fucking subway and a bagel place. It
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: was like an aftertholl. It was like, yeah, yeah, we
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: put it there, and it's it's it's neither here nor there,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: but we put it there and anybody, I suppose, if
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: they want, can go and eat it. It wasn't a case
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: of burger king wasn't going to fucking draw anyone to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: the Marshess. Do you know what I mean?
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Do you know it's nearly like if you think about it,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: we're only I don't know, like America enough on this,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: but fuck me, they are good at stuff.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: And they have it down right, and they have seen
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: their own molds all day off.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: The mall of America, you know, died and die the
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: death like until they started going. Hold on, let's look
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: five years down the line, where's the where's the mood
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: music going?
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: That's what do we draw people out?
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Because it's just concrete and steel, that's all you're drawing
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: people too, So what have you got to put in
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the thing to keep them interesting?
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: And if nobody's coming to buy CDs and records, maybe
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: they'll come to buy a five guys, do you know?
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: And also I remember there was a thing that Steven's
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: green I used to I went to Winda for something
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: one time. Oh there was actually somebody yet And this
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: is the thing that's probably going to pop up in
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of these now would be recording studios.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Do you know where It'll be hubs for stuff like that,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: and work facilities I was going into.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know those those offices that you can
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: rent for a week, you know, these things. You know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: if you're if you've got a Virgin Islands, fucking Cayman
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Islands fucking fucking business that you need to fucking flood
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: some money through. But I went in there one day
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: on the way up to doing a I don't know,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: a podcast or an interview for about something, and it
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: was no, it was a photo shoot I remember, for
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: a play there and they had a manicure fish manicure.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a short lived phenomenon time.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: There was a group of dudes sitting there kind of
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: and they were they were the guys, and they were
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: sitting there with their feet in And I'll be honest
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: with you my initial thoughts, and that make no bones
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: about this. My first thought was, well, that's the gayest
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: thing I've ever seen a bunch of dudes do together.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: And I was so close to saying that out loud, like, dudes,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: thebi gay dudes, think, cut.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: That ship out.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: There's gay porn. Is not this gay?
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: This gay dudes gonna cut that ship out? What the
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: fuck are you doing? Like? But you know what some
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Asian lady, we made a clean fortune of those five guys.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Was talking about was those these wee fish actual living
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: fish that would chew dead skin off your toes. You
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: put your feet in a little fish and they come
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: over and you took out the cleanest, shiniest, healthiest feet
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: ever seen beforehand. And that lasted about five months when
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: people realized that this was basically a breeding ground for hepatitis.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: This is how you got percent.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: If anybody wants advice on how to peel the skin
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: off their feet, I'm pretty sure AI will find the
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: episode where Jerry talked about these pads. They didn't really
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: work for me that time, and I know I stayed
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: in contact with you that.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: You put them on inside out down.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I probably did, and you were able to fucking mold
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: like a fucking python, but for some reason I didn't.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know my.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Feet is the skin off Roy checking out.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: I think my feet were just too fucking beating up
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: for it to happen. But you'll find out how to
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: do it safely in the company your own home, and
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: you don't need any fucking equal life, and you sure
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: shit don't need to do it with all your guy friends.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: And you might not even need a shopping center. We'll
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: bring this full circle now, because I feel we're beginning
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: to ramble a little bit. Also the same time, I
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: will say this for the Sin Stephen's Green Shopping Center
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: and the rise and fall of shopping centers in Ireland
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: in general. And you know best look to any new
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: shopping center that's opening and you're gonna entice it in
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: by putting in a fucking wingstop or some stuff like that.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: If you're charging me for park and go fuck yourself
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: number one straight away. I don't fucking care if you
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: have a Raisin Kenes, I'm not going all right. We
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: didn't get into it too much on St. Stephens's screen
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: because there is a lot of love for Sint Stephen's
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Green Shopping Center among the fine people in Dublin. But
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: this segment is called we Remember When, And I remember
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: when I was up in Dublin when I was about
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: fifteen with the rest of the kids from school, and
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: we were pricking around and we went into Stephen's Green
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Shopping Center and I needed to go to the toilet.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: They wanted to charge me twenty p for and I
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: did not have it, so I had to fucking do
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: the walk all the way down to McDonald's at the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Botto McGrath Street. I'm concerned that Stephen Green can fuck off?
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: Say you really feel?
• 59:05
