- 2:09Speaker 2: half an hour. That's of no use to you whatsoever.
- 2:13Speaker 2: But I can get through the scrumbs, the line out,
- 2:15Speaker 2: the set ups, the water breaks, the chat with the referee,
- 2:18Speaker 2: the replays, the whole lot, and get down to about
- 2:21Speaker 2: thirty thirty five minutes of an eighty minute match. Because
- 2:24Speaker 2: it turns out that that's does not unless it's a
- 2:26Speaker 2: ridiculous match and it's like forty two minutes of in playtime.
- 2:29Speaker 1: But realistically, you know what, what I'm going to tell

- 3:00Speaker 1: And I would say to him, there was no there
- 3:04Speaker 1: was nothing fun. It was great to see the kids
- 3:06Speaker 1: that are having a having a walk and doing doing
- 3:08Speaker 1: all that crack like, there wasn't any Do you know
- 3:12Speaker 1: why sometimes do floats where it's.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Like, oh, here's a recreation of a JCB digging an
- 3:17Speaker 2: ATM out of the wall or whatever. Here here's the
- 3:19Speaker 2: recreation of the Brook family getting thrown.
- 3:21Speaker 1: The family getting yeah, getting getting chased out of the rockes,
- 3:25Speaker 1: things like that. There was nothing like that, and I
- 3:26Speaker 1: was it was sorely missed.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Yeah. We we were at the local roading here today.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Do you know what fair play? They put in a
- 3:32Speaker 2: great effort. Loads of people are having a good time. However,
- 3:37Speaker 2: my five year olds on, who was dressed up for
- 3:40Speaker 2: the occasion, I think he was expecting more from it.
- 3:43Speaker 2: And when the guy from the local organic apple farm
- 3:46Speaker 2: drove through this little director giving away free apples, he
- 3:48Speaker 2: looked at me like apples. There was that Locals if
- 3:53Speaker 2: to say, man, there's sausage roads that need eating, you.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Know, do you know it was like that with us
- 3:58Speaker 1: And and I kind of turned to my wife at
- 3:59Speaker 1: one stage and said, I haven't seen a tractor yet,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and she loved to be like with a real face
- 4:02Speaker 1: and blessed you know God.
- 4:05Speaker 2: In fairness you would have enjoyed today it was primarily
- 4:08Speaker 2: tractors at all. But in fairness, you know you're you're
- 4:11Speaker 2: bringing sentences hera to my lefe. If he's looking attractors,
- 4:14Speaker 2: it's like Jesus, I can just stay at home and
- 4:16Speaker 2: look attractors. It's fine. There's a couple of nice ones.
- 4:20Speaker 1: But I might actually, you know, next year, I might
- 4:23Speaker 1: actually offer my services as a comedy writer.
- 4:28Speaker 2: For all the fucking good Day or Tom and.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Say, look if you wanted, if you want like a
- 4:31Speaker 1: little sketch written up or anything so that it can
- 4:33Speaker 1: be you know, topical, some sort of topical drafts up
- 4:37Speaker 1: in the middle of it all.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Knock yourself out.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I don't know what that would be, domb and I'm
- 4:41Speaker 1: pretty sure to get chased up the road.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Do you know that could be the skit? That could
- 4:45Speaker 2: be the skit you will add, absolutely full of himself.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Comedy writer gets chased out of Blanche Stid Do you
- 4:50Speaker 2: know what will happen to And it'll happen with every
- 4:52Speaker 2: comedy and everything like that. They will look at you
- 4:55Speaker 2: like you are filled because there's some woman called Nora,
- 4:57Speaker 2: or there's some fellow called Brendan who is the gas
- 5:00Speaker 2: is bastard in their head in their group, and they'll
- 5:02Speaker 2: come up with their own thing, thank you very much.
- 5:04Speaker 2: They don't need some bollocks from money and sticking his orian.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I can guarantee you it's uh. Let me tell you
- 5:11Speaker 2: the town's local comedian was standing there with his comedy
- 5:14Speaker 2: club behind him, and they did not request my input.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Whats on.
- 5:20Speaker 1: The way you said it there, Tom, They don't need
- 5:22Speaker 1: some ballocks from one and sticking his oor in. Tom,
- 5:25Speaker 1: I gotta tell you nobody does no in no walk
- 5:29Speaker 1: of life. Do they need a study Gray style soil
- 5:33Speaker 1: merchant to rock up and say, hey, come here, here's
- 5:35Speaker 1: my two cents. But I gotta tell you Tom what
- 5:37Speaker 1: to be missing out, Because if it's one thing you
- 5:38Speaker 1: and I can do, it's deliver our topical weekly humor.
- 5:42Speaker 1: We just take a look at the news and the
- 5:44Speaker 1: current events and the big happenings from around the world,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and we put it all together and the Tom and
- 5:48Speaker 1: Jerry Show, which you find folks are listening to right now.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I'm Jerry McBride. That's Tom o'manony. I think that's the
- 5:52Speaker 1: longest we've gone without introducing ourselves in the history of
- 5:55Speaker 1: the show. But here we are twenty minutes in bringing
- 5:58Speaker 1: you the news the weekly one have Yet this is
- 6:01Speaker 1: a very complicated case, mod you know, a lot of Ian's,
- 6:03Speaker 1: a lot of outs, a lot.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Of what have you, and a lot of strands to
- 6:07Speaker 2: keep in my head.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Man.
- 6:09Speaker 2: You know, there's coming of age moments in children's lives.
- 6:12Speaker 2: So you you're you know, you're down the road a
- 6:14Speaker 2: bit further than me of my parents because he loves
- 6:18Speaker 2: a good book. He likes books, do you know what
- 6:20Speaker 2: I mean? So we've kept him away from for as
- 6:22Speaker 2: long as from the mother's side. Does he he does? Does?
- 6:26Speaker 2: He absolutely does, but they so we've been trying to
- 6:30Speaker 2: look get into books first and then you can have
- 6:32Speaker 2: iPads and bits and pieces when he needs more, because
- 6:35Speaker 2: you don't need to learn to turn the page first.
- 6:37Speaker 2: And he does enjoy it. So my parents have jumped
- 6:40Speaker 2: on this, and they had a full cous back in
- 6:42Speaker 2: the eighties. Like many people's parents or or mother or
- 6:45Speaker 2: some stage. Our father was a book salesman for the
- 6:49Speaker 2: World Books and the Children's Botanica, which my mother was
- 6:51Speaker 2: and I think we've talked about it before. We had
- 6:53Speaker 2: the full regalia and it's sitting on top of our
- 6:55Speaker 2: land and for the last forty years. And they they said,
- 7:00Speaker 2: do you know what He'd love them? And I said,
- 7:02Speaker 2: you're a hundredcent right. So we brought up a shot
- 7:04Speaker 2: of him. And Afric came back from the parade and
- 7:08Speaker 2: he says, first he started giving me a hand. He
- 7:11Speaker 2: said I might go in and have another look at books.
- 7:13Speaker 2: I says, no, bother by, and you go only for
- 7:16Speaker 2: me to my wife and and him. I was outside.
- 7:21Speaker 2: She was in the kitchen. Could hear him from his
- 7:23Speaker 2: room going?
- 7:24Speaker 1: And she.
- 7:27Speaker 2: She what which I came in. I had to see
- 7:31Speaker 2: what was going on. Turns out he'd been normally into
- 7:34Speaker 2: the animal ones, you know that. Well, he got himself
- 7:37Speaker 2: the Human Anatomy Book, and this is NAT's book. I
- 7:48Speaker 2: will to the day I die, I will have that
- 7:52Speaker 2: little face looking back at me with the he had
- 8:00Speaker 2: the page over good. I don't know if this is
- 8:02Speaker 2: a platypus or some sort of monkey gn wrong.
- 8:10Speaker 3: There was a full on vedge looking back at dude.
- 8:14Speaker 3: You have no idea the implications of that thing. Turn
- 8:18Speaker 3: the page, So turn the page, give me back the
- 8:20Speaker 3: one the book woul depends in it. Like there you
- 8:23Speaker 3: get back to the animal.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Don't worry about that. Needless is say a corner has
- 8:30Speaker 2: been turned in in the house.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So that was enough, dear listener, in our in our
- 8:37Speaker 1: inebriated state. Now I have had a couple of pints today,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and the big research didn't quite go into it.
- 8:42Speaker 2: For what the weekly what have you? Was?
- 8:43Speaker 1: I mean, we've every world later over in the White
- 8:45Speaker 1: House and all this kind of general tend not to
- 8:48Speaker 1: talk about those things. So for today, Tom's young lad
- 8:51Speaker 1: getting into the World books was enough for us of
- 8:54Speaker 1: a weekly what have you to say to ourselves?
- 8:58Speaker 2: Do you know what?
- 8:58Speaker 1: We could have a crack about psyclepedias with the fine
- 9:00Speaker 1: listeners of the Dam Jerry Show, because I got to
- 9:02Speaker 1: tell you, Tom, I was educated at a Ward Books
- 9:05Speaker 1: and I have thoughts.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Things came rushing back. Not when I looked
- 9:11Speaker 2: at the edge, to be honest with you, had it's like,
- 9:14Speaker 2: what's that tell me more?
- 9:16Speaker 1: Let's let's ed you. Let's let's bring the people up
- 9:18Speaker 1: the speed a wee bit quicker because you know, the
- 9:20Speaker 1: listenership of the Tom and Jerry Show is primarily eighteen
- 9:24Speaker 1: to twenty five year olds. I mean, they're all very young.
- 9:26Speaker 1: We crack into that hip demographic. You know, they're not all,
- 9:30Speaker 1: you know, lads in their forties like ourselves. No, no,
- 9:33Speaker 1: you know, strictly speaking.
- 9:35Speaker 2: They are.
- 9:35Speaker 1: But let's say there's three or four young people listening
- 9:37Speaker 1: to this that wouldn't know what an encyclopedia is. Back
- 9:40Speaker 1: in the day when me and Tom were coming up,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and indeed for a long time before there was no Internet,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and if you needed to know anything, you had it
- 9:49Speaker 1: in twenty four to twenty six books called encyclopedias. There
- 9:54Speaker 1: was the Britannica, there was the World Book, which is
- 9:57Speaker 1: what we had.
- 9:57Speaker 2: In their house.
- 9:58Speaker 1: The Britannica was an English encyclopedia, and the World Book
- 10:00Speaker 1: I want to say it was an American one.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Tom correct me on that now we I think it is. Yeah,
- 10:05Speaker 2: it is, because there was America got a got a
- 10:08Speaker 2: good rubbed rubb of the green in this one in
- 10:10Speaker 2: the World Book.
- 10:12Speaker 1: The World Book entry on Vietnam was kinder to the
- 10:15Speaker 1: horses than the Britannica version.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Yeah, there was absolutely nothing about it. We absolutely won
- 10:20Speaker 2: that war. We absolutely won it. We and we'd loads
- 10:22Speaker 2: of business being over there very well. The morally, it
- 10:25Speaker 2: was a moral victory. There was nothing to do with
- 10:27Speaker 2: the heroin they were growing over There's nothing to do
- 10:29Speaker 2: with that, much like Afghanistan. But you know, there was
- 10:32Speaker 2: definite and there was the Britannica. Obviously the name gives
- 10:35Speaker 2: it away, but we did this. She went the full hog.
- 10:37Speaker 2: There's the Children's Britannica, the World Book, and the Britannic,
- 10:42Speaker 2: and there's a there's like five or six books I think,
- 10:44Speaker 2: not the National Geographic or something, this kind of thing. Yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 2: Tom mentioned that.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Tom mentioned that as Helman was was a salesman for
- 10:50Speaker 1: such books and you but like so we had a shop,
- 10:52Speaker 1: Oh Tom, this was like I remember when we got
- 10:54Speaker 1: our World books, the pair of ladies knocked up on
- 10:57Speaker 1: the door. The other ways the sales saleswoman didn't had
- 11:02Speaker 1: We had salespeople that came to the door. I know
- 11:04Speaker 1: you had the inside tracking it, but like the rest
- 11:06Speaker 1: of us, Tom, someone came rapping on the door at
- 11:09Speaker 1: the eight o'clock of an evening and said, Harry Keating,
- 11:11Speaker 1: can I talk to you about books? And brought in
- 11:13Speaker 1: volume one of the World Book and left it there
- 11:16Speaker 1: for a week and came back in a week to
- 11:17Speaker 1: collect it and said, the children like that.
- 11:20Speaker 2: She can have the whole set.
- 11:21Speaker 1: For ever how much it was, and you paid it
- 11:23Speaker 1: in installments, I thought her, and that was your Exyclobedias.
- 11:26Speaker 2: That's exactly it. I've and to this day I have
- 11:28Speaker 2: no idea where she got him. I have no I
- 11:31Speaker 2: have no idea how many she' flogged around the place.
- 11:33Speaker 2: I have no idea. You know how she even got
- 11:36Speaker 2: the gig? I don't know. I don't know.
- 11:38Speaker 1: It was one of these things like going around to
- 11:40Speaker 1: the houses selling top of ware, going around sal thing.
- 11:43Speaker 1: You could become an agent for the locality.
- 11:45Speaker 2: You literally, if you think about how the internet works,
- 11:48Speaker 2: you look at the thing and the team comes to
- 11:50Speaker 2: your house. Well, this is a scenario where somebody would
- 11:53Speaker 2: bring you the Internet in their boot in her car
- 11:56Speaker 2: and would you like to look at the Internet. They said,
- 11:59Speaker 2: I have a bit of it, A good I all right,
- 12:02Speaker 2: leave it with me for a week, and then you
- 12:03Speaker 2: would bring the rest of the Internet with them in
- 12:05Speaker 2: the hopes that they'd want some more Internet, and then
- 12:08Speaker 2: you would leave the Internet there and once a week,
- 12:10Speaker 2: once a month or whatever it was, you'd swing by
- 12:13Speaker 2: and you pick up a bit of cash for the internet. Yeah,
- 12:16Speaker 2: and the internet was bound in leather, it bound.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Yeah, they're decent leather at whatever they are, because they're
- 12:23Speaker 2: instill in. They got they got looked at. And I know,
- 12:27Speaker 2: definitely whatever about me looking for the sake of looking.
- 12:30Speaker 2: But my two sisters actually used them, if you know
- 12:33Speaker 2: what I mean. They definitely used them for research purposes
- 12:35Speaker 2: for school because they were you know, they were into
- 12:37Speaker 2: that stuff.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But if you were doing a project on ladies and gentlemen,
- 12:40Speaker 1: if you were doing a project on South America, you
- 12:44Speaker 1: looked in the encyclopedia.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Yeah, there was nowhere else to look for.
- 12:47Speaker 1: And if you were as as you know, if you
- 12:50Speaker 1: were looking for sexual reproductive organs, that's where you looked
- 12:53Speaker 1: at as well.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Oh, he definitely wasn't He was just going through and
- 12:55Speaker 2: then landed. And I'm talking to me personally, no doubt
- 13:00Speaker 2: you know you could. But I will be referred to
- 13:03Speaker 2: forever as the Harry platypus. I'm sorry. That's that's it
- 13:05Speaker 2: going now.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Well on that subject, right, on the subject of Harry Platypus,
- 13:13Speaker 1: on Harry platypuses and such like, let me tell you. Okay,
- 13:16Speaker 1: so we had the encyclopedias.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Go with me on this one. Now, we also had okay,
- 13:21Speaker 2: so if the encyclopedia's.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Were Wikipedia of the day, it was like your general
- 13:28Speaker 1: come by go day research. What was the web MD
- 13:33Speaker 1: of the day, What was the online doctor of the day.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it was. We had a standalone
- 13:39Speaker 1: medical encyclopedia that was bought.
- 13:42Speaker 2: I do not maybe that's in the pileo as well, okay.
- 13:47Speaker 2: And it was just like so if you had a
- 13:50Speaker 2: call for a sneeze or anything like that, you could
- 13:53Speaker 2: look it up in the medical encyclopedia and it had,
- 13:57Speaker 2: let me tell you, a detailed section on genital warts
- 14:03Speaker 2: and yes, yeah you know discharges and ship like that
- 14:09Speaker 2: and califlower feeling. Yeah yeah.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I did not need to see that when I was twelve.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I needed to see entirely the opposite of that.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Tom To be fair, you think it so, but I'd
- 14:19Speaker 2: say that's what kept you on the straight and arrow
- 14:21Speaker 2: was after saying I make you shape like a cauliflower

- 14:33Speaker 2: hey what has done to me? Dom?
- 14:35Speaker 1: But but but again, like there was no other internet.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I'm not saying the internet is the place to go
- 14:41Speaker 1: to to to check up your actual out or anything
- 14:44Speaker 1: like that. Quite the opposite in fact. But it had
- 14:48Speaker 1: to be better than you know, here's this lady here
- 14:51Speaker 1: with a big seventies vagina.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what it was? And to give

- 15:27Speaker 2: good picture, every in between picture to describe what we're
- 15:30Speaker 2: talking about in the V section or the P section.
- 15:36Speaker 2: This giant fucking books there.
- 15:39Speaker 1: So when you're done reading the reading up about the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Vietnam War. You'll be like, go on off me as well.
- 15:43Speaker 2: I'm here.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I check out volcanoes and vaginas while I'm doing it.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But let me tell you one thing, though. Here's the
- 15:50Speaker 1: thing with the Internet. It changes by the day.
- 15:52Speaker 2: The World Books and the Encyclopedia Britannica changed.
- 15:55Speaker 1: By the addition. Okay, what do you mean by that, Jerry?
- 15:59Speaker 1: And I meant to say that if you bought your
- 16:01Speaker 1: World Book in nineteen ninety, it had different information in
- 16:04Speaker 1: it than it did in nineteen eighty, for example. Okay,
- 16:08Speaker 1: so same as how you watch something on Disney Plus
- 16:10Speaker 1: now it's like this movie contains scenes of tobacco use
- 16:13Speaker 1: and all this kind of crack. The nineteen eighties World
- 16:16Speaker 1: Book was different. And I know this, Tom because our school,
- 16:20Speaker 1: the primary school that I went to, had a set
- 16:23Speaker 1: of encyclopediaes and they were the Encyclopedia Britannica from like
- 16:26Speaker 1: nineteen sixty or something like that. Right, it was like whatever,
- 16:30Speaker 1: it was like, why would you bother updating it nineteen sixties?
- 16:33Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to the World Book. Did you know that
- 16:36Speaker 2: women have smaller brains men? Honestly, I'm not even kidding.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I distinctly remember, because you know we'd be scoreless little fiends, right,
- 16:44Speaker 1: we'd look up the the s Book for Sex and
- 16:46Speaker 1: look through it straightaway. First thing you do, and I
- 16:51Speaker 1: remember it was like it was a passage that said
- 16:53Speaker 1: something along the lines of, of course, homosexual homosexuality is illegal,
- 16:59Speaker 1: just up like homosexual reality is illegal and anyone engaged
- 17:03Speaker 1: in such things should be reported to the nearest.
- 17:06Speaker 2: What year did you say? His books were just.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Like nineteen sixty a nineteen ninety version in Ireland that
- 17:12Speaker 1: was still held like that.
- 17:14Speaker 2: But here we are now, Tom.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing that that was with the
- 17:19Speaker 1: World Book. You know, it's one thing to buy a
- 17:21Speaker 1: set of World Books, but you weren't going to buy
- 17:22Speaker 1: one every couple of years.
- 17:24Speaker 2: But you know what you would get and.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I'm sure your mumber dad will remember this. Do you
- 17:27Speaker 1: remember that had like yearly supplements. What do you mean
- 17:32Speaker 1: does that ring any bello with you? That the people
- 17:34Speaker 1: would yeah, year it's full of protein, it's full of
- 17:39Speaker 1: amino acids. No, it would be like they would come
- 17:42Speaker 1: back after twelve months and.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Go like, oh, you're enjoying your your World books. Deadly stuff. Well, listen,
- 17:46Speaker 2: they've got a new edition.
- 17:47Speaker 1: It was like a yearly supplement, kind of like a
- 17:50Speaker 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not, but like more educational, and
- 17:53Speaker 1: it will be one single big book. The nineteen ninety
- 17:55Speaker 1: two supplement, the nineteen ninety three So I.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Remember it was an remember graphic style thing, yeah yeah,
- 18:01Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And it was just it wasn't alphabetical rent
- 18:03Speaker 2: like that. It's just like, you know what, here's four
- 18:05Speaker 2: hundred pages of random get it, gets it. You get
- 18:09Speaker 2: to this one the first page. Oh, by the way,
- 18:11Speaker 2: what we said about the Gaze. They're grand, They're fine, Yeah,
- 18:15Speaker 2: they're fine. Now, they're all fine.
- 18:17Speaker 1: But I remember like one of them was, here's here's
- 18:20Speaker 1: five pages breaking down what happened in the La riots,
- 18:22Speaker 1: which would have been ninety two, and we would have
- 18:24Speaker 1: been reading it in like ninety four.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah. And like if this seems quaint, folks,
- 18:31Speaker 2: this was your internet. This was the speed the Internet
- 18:34Speaker 2: came to you.
- 18:34Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Tom, were they wrong.
- 18:40Speaker 2: About the Gaze? I mean to say, I think I
- 18:46Speaker 2: think speeding the Internet up to being able to be
- 18:48Speaker 2: updated by the second is not it. I think getting
- 18:52Speaker 2: it doled out here once every eighteen months. It's probably
- 18:54Speaker 2: not it either. There might be a middle ground where
- 18:57Speaker 2: everybody could have to think a little bit when it
- 18:59Speaker 2: gets opinionated, like say, hey a was acxuals you know, yeah, okay,
- 19:04Speaker 2: fox sake. But when facts are facts is facts. On
- 19:08Speaker 2: some scenarios, like gorillas do have let's say, fifty two teeth?
- 19:11Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? If that's a thing,
- 19:13Speaker 2: why do you need to get the opinion of nine
- 19:15Speaker 2: different web websites. I can go just sometimes Like my
- 19:21Speaker 2: last year's show was called Taken off Chair, and that
- 19:24Speaker 2: was what it was. It was like, trust me, we
- 19:27Speaker 2: don't need all the info, We just need enough of
- 19:30Speaker 2: the info to take over, Like you know what I mean,
- 19:33Speaker 2: you're filling it all up with this shit like where
- 19:35Speaker 2: you're getting. Actually, but if you look at this such
- 19:37Speaker 2: as such a gorilla, you're like a for a lot
- 19:38Speaker 2: of Jesus. Just let me open the world books you
- 19:40Speaker 2: would said about gorillas and that'll dome me. That'll do,
- 19:42Speaker 2: because I ain't going into the gorilla trade, do you
- 19:44Speaker 2: know what I mean? For the most part, people have
- 19:46Speaker 2: some amount of stupid info in their head, but that
- 19:48Speaker 2: they will never practically use. And yes, the Internet is
- 19:53Speaker 2: good for that, but there's too much internet now. I
- 19:57Speaker 2: still do realize we are turning kind of into, you know,
- 20:00Speaker 2: a bit of a comni territory. Here, we'll get friends here,
- 20:03Speaker 2: We're getting a little red here on this on this podcast,
- 20:06Speaker 2: we're kind of going we were just restrict some of
- 20:09Speaker 2: the information we will give you, and it's getting be
- 20:13Speaker 2: communisty here. I think it's a little bit.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Yes, well here's one. Here's an example for you, Tom Okay,
- 20:18Speaker 1: because you're a wee man. I know he likes the dinosaurs, right,
- 20:21Speaker 1: did he get into the D Book for dinosaurs?
- 20:31Speaker 2: You know what? I just to navigate that book to
- 20:33Speaker 2: get the dinosaurs. To be fair, I would have gotten
- 20:39Speaker 2: the D book be like, yeah, she was looking for
- 20:42Speaker 2: the D booker, Yeah, gotta get that D book. But like,
- 20:47Speaker 2: the information that would.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Be in the world books of the late eighties early
- 20:51Speaker 1: nineties about dinosaurs is markedly different to.
- 20:54Speaker 2: What it is now. Because then I can see him
- 20:56Speaker 2: have a classic, you know scenario of the book going
- 21:00Speaker 2: what the fuck to me? This is a guali of
- 21:01Speaker 2: mimas I think you'll find and they're like, this is
- 21:04Speaker 2: dynatus and.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, you're a we man to be like,
- 21:08Speaker 1: this is a feathered dinosaur that you know, eight eggs,
- 21:11Speaker 1: and they're like, no, scally dinosaur that eight smaller dinosaurs.
- 21:15Speaker 1: I can see him going like bullshit, now is a
- 21:17Speaker 1: wrong in the in the space of Turkey years.
- 21:19Speaker 2: You'se are so wrong? Do you know? But if that's
- 21:21Speaker 2: all that's wrong, you know, like we get there, like
- 21:24Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But for the most part,
- 21:25Speaker 2: like if he's on a bit about engineering whatever, it's like, well,
- 21:28Speaker 2: you know, this is what it is, you know they
- 21:32Speaker 2: you know, jet fuel does burn steal Oh man, I'd
- 21:40Speaker 2: love to see the you know, go to the w
- 21:42Speaker 2: book and get world Trade centers, like, yeah, check out
- 21:45Speaker 2: these bad boys. Anything happened to them? Try and knocking
- 21:49Speaker 2: them down? We dare you, I don't do you know
- 21:53Speaker 2: what it's it's there's a there's a halfway mark. That's
- 21:56Speaker 2: why we know for the rest of for the rest
- 21:58Speaker 2: of his life, he's going to have the highest amount
- 22:00Speaker 2: of Internet you know, being thrown at itself. For now,
- 22:03Speaker 2: at least, let's teach him how to turn a page
- 22:05Speaker 2: and read and know. Okay, you asked me a question,
- 22:09Speaker 2: I'll go and find it at least that part of
- 22:12Speaker 2: my brain will help me go and find it so
- 22:14Speaker 2: that when it does finally books get thrfed out, you
- 22:17Speaker 2: know what I mean, where we have a big fire
- 22:19Speaker 2: in the middle of the square gear and we throw
- 22:21Speaker 2: all the books of this podcast. We're not a little
- 22:25Speaker 2: bit podcast. Yeah, but it's turning very very I gotta
- 22:29Speaker 2: tell you, folks, if all this seems like like set
- 22:33Speaker 2: of world books, if you would like to get a
- 22:35Speaker 2: set of world books, like, go to any Oxfam or
- 22:37Speaker 2: any Saint Vincent's or anything like that, because generally, when
- 22:41Speaker 2: not being disrespectful, but to clear someone someone's.
- 22:44Speaker 1: House out after they passed away, there'll be a set
- 22:46Speaker 1: of like smoke stained World books there and you can
- 22:50Speaker 1: pick them up for like you can pick up the
- 22:51Speaker 1: whole Encyclopedia Britannica for a tanner, and it's a nice
- 22:56Speaker 1: thing to have in the house.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Did you know what I mean? You didn't have the Britannica.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Did you know? No, we had the World Book. See,
- 23:02Speaker 2: I wonder probably because you.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Were nothing, nothing Britannic in our I was just gonna
- 23:06Speaker 1: look what you're saying there.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, you know, we were
- 23:09Speaker 2: so far south to that stage. We didn't feel in
- 23:11Speaker 2: any way threatened, but I figure, yeah you would, so
- 23:14Speaker 2: we thought about used down the Free State Tom to
- 23:16Speaker 2: be honest. Yeah, yeah, we're just Mexicans below just not
- 23:20Speaker 2: giving a ship gone whatever, gringo, We don't care. Just yeah,
- 23:25Speaker 2: give us all that info. And to be fair, all
- 23:27Speaker 2: the all the Britannics, all the Queen's info, all the
- 23:30Speaker 2: all the Britannic is you know from the nineteen eighties,
- 23:32Speaker 2: which we had. All they did just pretty much all
- 23:35Speaker 2: was shipping on Ireland for the most part. And you
- 23:37Speaker 2: know what, it was fine. It's fine, know your enemy,
- 23:39Speaker 2: no dying enemy, jury and all the rest of it.
- 23:41Speaker 2: But yeah, it was Meanwhile, we had the World Book
- 23:44Speaker 2: written like in the ear of Jack Kennedy, and it's
- 23:46Speaker 2: like Ireland, hell of a nation. Anybody could say, a
- 23:49Speaker 2: cargo of guns over the Atlantic to them exchange for
- 23:53Speaker 2: drug money. You get to the eye, look for Irish person.
- 23:56Speaker 2: It's just John Wayne looking back at you with Maury
- 23:59Speaker 2: O'Hara or or whatever the head typical Irish man. Hell yeah,
- 24:08Speaker 2: look for it. For now. I think it's going to
- 24:10Speaker 2: be fun to see him go through the books and
- 24:11Speaker 2: just kind of I think this is going to be
- 24:14Speaker 2: put I mean, Jesus, a land that lived decency, taste
- 24:21Speaker 2: and decency.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Notwithstanding, We're going to try and post a couple of
- 24:25Speaker 1: pictures from these Warld books to to give you an
- 24:27Speaker 1: idea what we're saying.
- 24:28Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Thing the World Book didn't have, Tom Wonicle, what the
- 24:31Speaker 1: Internet has over World books is the World Books didn't
- 24:36Speaker 1: have a comment section. I suppose you could write in
- 24:40Speaker 1: the back if you want it, but it didn't have
- 24:42Speaker 1: a comment section.
- 24:43Speaker 2: But you have to wait and go to the comments section,
- 24:46Speaker 2: i e. The school the next day and go see
- 24:48Speaker 2: that bullshit in the Border book last night? Did you
- 24:50Speaker 2: ever see a big platypus?
- 24:57Speaker 1: But Tom and Jerry Show does have a comment section,
- 24:59Speaker 1: and and this week some of the fine listeners of
- 25:03Speaker 1: the Tom and Jerry Show flagged their attention towards a
- 25:07Speaker 1: group that we would like to talk to you about,
- 25:09Speaker 1: and just so happens, we have a segment where we
- 25:11Speaker 1: talk about these lads, those lads, the other lads, and
- 25:15Speaker 1: indeed done.
- 25:16Speaker 2: This lad, now there's that guy, and this lad. This
- 25:21Speaker 2: week is these lads.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Thanks to the listeners who flagged this one and sent
- 25:25Speaker 1: it our way, Tom, why don't you tell the fine
- 25:27Speaker 1: folks about this group of enterprising young lads and their
- 25:31Speaker 1: kind attitude and dedication to hard work.
- 25:35Speaker 2: To be fair, I think we were saying this because
- 25:37Speaker 2: it's from the Manchester Even News. That's genuinely and it's
- 25:41Speaker 2: based out of a group in Wigan for sure. It
- 25:43Speaker 2: was sent just purely for Tom to make bits of
- 25:46Speaker 2: the Northern English accent like.
- 25:50Speaker 1: That's like you know, and you know, a give him
- 25:54Speaker 1: a course that you know, there was always some lad
- 25:56Speaker 1: in your town that you'd be like, you know, buy
- 25:58Speaker 1: him a pint when he gets drunk.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Hilarious, you know what I mean? But do you know
- 26:01Speaker 2: I think that's what's happening here. It's and it's Manchester News,
- 26:06Speaker 2: it may as well be, you know, the local Tipperary
- 26:08Speaker 2: News here the way it's written across the top, so
- 26:10Speaker 2: I've got I've got to say just before i even
- 26:12Speaker 2: get into this. The link is the website, but across
- 26:15Speaker 2: the top is buy a paper, okay, so you can
- 26:17Speaker 2: buy your own. You can buy it through and get
- 26:19Speaker 2: the ads. And then immediately after this funeral notices, we've
- 26:25Speaker 2: we've went from there to there. But this essentially that
- 26:28Speaker 2: the gangs sent on to the resident spotted men coming
- 26:31Speaker 2: and going at a small shop and then a huge
- 26:34Speaker 2: conspiracy started to unravel. This is this is like tinder
- 26:37Speaker 2: swindler stuff like right, people just notice coming in and
- 26:40Speaker 2: going not not fucking right here, This is not right?
- 26:44Speaker 2: So what's up? Conversations we're uncovered. Just group members send
- 26:48Speaker 2: pictures of injuries they received on site. Now that can
- 26:51Speaker 2: happen there. So this is this is a group of
- 26:53Speaker 2: workmen on This is a Wigan based rogues. There were
- 26:58Speaker 2: a utility company called Elevator Elevate right Elevate we spelled
- 27:05Speaker 2: it spelled with and see some of them got nabbed
- 27:08Speaker 2: because lads were just posting injury pictures because it's dangerous
- 27:12Speaker 2: as fuck what the lads were up to, but for
- 27:15Speaker 2: a good cause, making a few pounds and what not.
- 27:19Speaker 2: But essentially what this utilities company and they turned up
- 27:23Speaker 2: and hives ive is the whole lot and start ripping
- 27:27Speaker 2: up pavements. And when it's something like I've always said it,
- 27:31Speaker 2: ives vest will get you away and you know, a
- 27:35Speaker 2: determined look on your face will get you away with
- 27:36Speaker 2: them or anything.
- 27:37Speaker 1: But these lads just has a license to do whatever
- 27:40Speaker 1: the fuck. Isn't it like you can like you know,
- 27:45Speaker 1: do you remember those story years ago about a lad
- 27:47Speaker 1: that walked into Buckingham Palace and was like sitting at
- 27:49Speaker 1: the end of the bed where the Queen was sleeping.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Yep, rest assured he was wearing a hives vest. No,
- 27:54Speaker 2: he probably had his trousers around then, but at the
- 27:56Speaker 2: same time he to hive his vest? I have his vest?
- 27:59Speaker 2: Were you reiling the story?
- 28:00Speaker 1: So we've got high is wearing lads and Wigan operating
- 28:04Speaker 1: the utilities company called h Elevated Elevate and what the
- 28:10Speaker 1: what are we doing?
- 28:11Speaker 2: We're breaking up pavements and garnering, ripping pavements the whole lot.
- 28:16Speaker 2: And this isn't just around Ord, this is all the
- 28:17Speaker 2: way down in North Wales. You know, they're down as
- 28:19Speaker 2: far as Plymouth, like these letter are are. They're on
- 28:22Speaker 2: the go, a wild gang of lads and says you
- 28:25Speaker 2: what it turns out to be from when the cops
- 28:27Speaker 2: started following it and over thirty two different police districts,
- 28:30Speaker 2: so that they started going, wait, well, hold on Elevate
- 28:34Speaker 2: or in your negative woods too. They can't all starts
- 28:37Speaker 2: out the pies, the pies or basically splicing the mains,
- 28:44Speaker 2: the electricity mains mind because a certain type of you know,
- 28:48Speaker 2: urban farm will lead extra juice when it comes to hydroponics.
- 28:53Speaker 2: And you don't have to be call here Tom and
- 28:55Speaker 2: Jerry show you can set. They were just fucking peeling
- 28:58Speaker 2: straight off the mains. The mad beast starts running into
- 29:01Speaker 2: properties that had well Albanian run cannabis farms inside of
- 29:06Speaker 2: the houses, farms one hundred of them over just over
- 29:09Speaker 2: one hundred of them around the north and northwest as
- 29:12Speaker 2: suppose of the UK. These boys were flatted the fucking
- 29:17Speaker 2: mess just and like praise and just going all right
- 29:21Speaker 2: and just digging straight in. Now, the juice run into
- 29:23Speaker 2: your average house just won't cut it. It just will
- 29:26Speaker 2: not cut what it has to run in the way of.
- 29:28Speaker 2: So you can't grow farm off an extension cable, right,
- 29:31Speaker 2: you could do it out the country because you do
- 29:34Speaker 2: get better juice to your house out of the country,
- 29:35Speaker 2: because you're getting an individual run. Like we went for
- 29:37Speaker 2: a stronger run one here because we said, look, if
- 29:40Speaker 2: you ever got a plug in a welder and stuff
- 29:42Speaker 2: like that, so we went to sixteen instead of the
- 29:44Speaker 2: usual twelve. But houses in cities like there's up to
- 29:46Speaker 2: twelve houses running off a MIDI pillar gaber. So you
- 29:49Speaker 2: just won't get the whack that you need. Sure you'll
- 29:51Speaker 2: get like two hundred volts. You ain't get no two forties,
- 29:54Speaker 2: but you'll get you'll get enough to power a kettle
- 29:57Speaker 2: and power all the things that normally needed. But when
- 30:00Speaker 2: you gotta start fucking incubating, you know the old devil's cabbage,
- 30:04Speaker 2: the Moroccan woodbine, shall we say, Yeah, you're at fucking
- 30:07Speaker 2: not with the regular guy. You got you need eight
- 30:10Speaker 2: point you knows you need it. And these lads, these
- 30:15Speaker 2: lads were tied in with the group, and I like
- 30:18Speaker 2: the way like that the group had. This did the
- 30:20Speaker 2: smarts at least to go to a utilities company and
- 30:24Speaker 2: just go look rather than help me out here? Tom?
- 30:26Speaker 1: Just this is the this is the bit that I
- 30:27Speaker 1: couldn't figure out. Now, where are these guys legitimate like
- 30:31Speaker 1: electrical engineers or was this just a group of like
- 30:34Speaker 1: anti one of the lads peeling the fucking shrouding off
- 30:40Speaker 1: the mains cable going into a city.
- 30:43Speaker 2: They were cellar field. It would seem like one of
- 30:46Speaker 2: them was the kiddie. When it came to the actual splicing.
- 30:49Speaker 2: But as you know, jar, when you're under pressure, it's Friday,
- 30:52Speaker 2: you gotta get those Albanians need their juice. Sometimes the
- 30:56Speaker 2: odd lad is going to need to jump in there
- 30:58Speaker 2: and do a bit of a over the phone job
- 31:00Speaker 2: because they might have three or four gigs on the go,
- 31:02Speaker 2: you see, so the actual whiz might have been there,
- 31:04Speaker 2: and I'm guessing a few times what happened is, you know,
- 31:08Speaker 2: well they had to jumping down into the hole and
- 31:10Speaker 2: go all right, sleeves up, let's get it done.
- 31:13Speaker 1: And they had to just okay, because like you know,
- 31:20Speaker 1: sleeves up, let's get it done, won't cut it when
- 31:22Speaker 1: you're peeling the shroud of like a four inch thick
- 31:27Speaker 1: electrical cable. Like we've all had to at some stage.
- 31:31Speaker 1: If there's a if there's a leak in the house
- 31:34Speaker 1: or something going on and you can't turn the water off,
- 31:36Speaker 1: you're just gonna have to be like, right, okay, I'm
- 31:38Speaker 1: getting wet in this one. I'm gonna have to cut
- 31:40Speaker 1: this pipe and water's gonna piss everywhere, and I'm gonna
- 31:42Speaker 1: have to try and connect it and close it off
- 31:43Speaker 1: as quick as I can while the water pissing everywhere
- 31:46Speaker 1: because I can't turn it off. I've done that. I've
- 31:49Speaker 1: I've had that. You've had that as well. I'm sure
- 31:51Speaker 1: where it's just like your ignorance has to has to
- 31:54Speaker 1: cut through. You can't do that with an electrical cable
- 31:57Speaker 1: without turning yourself into a spider man villain.
- 32:00Speaker 2: No, but i'd say what they were doing if they
- 32:02Speaker 2: were out of it or genuine company and they set
- 32:05Speaker 2: up a couple of other companies just to to I guess,
- 32:08Speaker 2: keep keep the keep the fuzze off their back. So
- 32:11Speaker 2: what they did was, I'd imagine they actually went to
- 32:13Speaker 2: the minipillar chamber, shut it down, didn't tell the customers,
- 32:17Speaker 2: got the cable on, quickly pat it back on. You know, dude,
- 32:20Speaker 2: you're about eleven or twelve o'clock, so not many people
- 32:22Speaker 2: are going to be given out. They'll go, what have
- 32:24Speaker 2: it back on? Nice? So you gotta move, You just can't.
- 32:27Speaker 2: You can't latch onto the fucking cable, Jared. There is
- 32:30Speaker 2: no there's no fancy way of turning off the electricity.
- 32:33Speaker 2: You know, you can't put a vice gripts on the
- 32:35Speaker 2: pipe on the cable halfway a couple of feet up
- 32:37Speaker 2: and squeezed the electricity back out of it, it will
- 32:40Speaker 2: still travel down the armored fucking cable, so you'll have
- 32:44Speaker 2: to go back up by many people are see, you
- 32:45Speaker 2: know there's green little boxes you'd see tuck neatly up
- 32:49Speaker 2: against the wall, not that neatly in places. Yes, it's
- 32:52Speaker 2: a general key that opens them. These lads, i'm guessing,
- 32:54Speaker 2: are like, right, you're right, Yeah, you're right, You've got
- 32:57Speaker 2: the cable, You're ready, okay on two three, bang god,
- 33:01Speaker 2: And I'm guessing guessing it's been turned back on a
- 33:06Speaker 2: few times when not everything was coppless mintus, do you
- 33:10Speaker 2: know like these lads weren't electricians either. There were groundworkers
- 33:13Speaker 2: where good men for digging a hole, maybe putting the
- 33:16Speaker 2: finishing touches to what they needed, because let's be honest,
- 33:18Speaker 2: you can't put that out in the fucking newspaper here
- 33:21Speaker 2: wanted Sparky because Sparky's are highway robbers anyway. At that
- 33:25Speaker 2: minute and at the rest of the time, to any
- 33:28Speaker 2: electricians in the audience, oh, you know, you know who
- 33:30Speaker 2: you are and you know what you're up there, And
- 33:32Speaker 2: that was.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Out time because when when when you forward this story
- 33:35Speaker 1: on to me, it was a picture of a guy
- 33:39Speaker 1: with like half his face burnt off. Oh he had
- 33:43Speaker 1: he had something had blown up and taken all the
- 33:46Speaker 1: hair of one side of his head. Yeah, and one
- 33:50Speaker 1: can only assume that that was because he like literally
- 33:53Speaker 1: tried to sold a cable onto a four inch matz.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Well, he's the interesting thing. This guy was the he
- 34:00Speaker 2: was actually the director of Elevate himself, Drew Roberts.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to go like in the
- 34:08Speaker 1: in the in mopets Christmas Carol here, but he was
- 34:11Speaker 1: elevating off the pavement.
- 34:17Speaker 2: They want to do be past and then the said
- 34:19Speaker 2: send it to all lads, you know what I mean,
- 34:21Speaker 2: Like yeah, I mean he told on himself here. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 34:26Speaker 2: So okay walk with me here on this one. Tom.
- 34:28Speaker 1: So, these guys Elevate, they're rocking up in the middle
- 34:31Speaker 1: of the night in hive's vests, which, as we said,
- 34:33Speaker 1: is a license to do whatever you want. I mean,
- 34:35Speaker 1: the next James Bond film wants to be James Bond
- 34:37Speaker 1: in a hive of his vest, just walking into the
- 34:39Speaker 1: Kremlin and cap in several high ranking members of society
- 34:42Speaker 1: and they're just walking out, just shrugging his shoulders and
- 34:44Speaker 1: know what happened. So these guys just rock up and
- 34:49Speaker 1: dig up the road in.
- 34:50Speaker 2: The middle of the night, just wearing their hive. So
- 34:52Speaker 2: what we're what we're what we're talking.
- 34:54Speaker 1: About here is the scene from Ghostbusters to where they
- 34:58Speaker 1: dig up the hole in the middle of the road
- 35:00Speaker 1: one and then lower a lad down into it, and
- 35:04Speaker 1: like any.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Cops come along, it's like, hey, they're taking in the hole.
- 35:07Speaker 2: What do you want me to do? He's taking a hole,
- 35:08Speaker 2: he's doing the thing. Do I got a permit? Do
- 35:10Speaker 2: I got time for paramounts? And the cops are like
- 35:13Speaker 2: all right, all right, yeah, and that's exactly it they were.
- 35:16Speaker 2: It was then it was they actually got down as
- 35:18Speaker 2: far as Wales when it was the whale, the North
- 35:21Speaker 2: North Welsh Police they were kind of twiggering and going,
- 35:24Speaker 2: what the fuck? This doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't
- 35:28Speaker 2: The cops aren't going to go look and see if
- 35:29Speaker 2: permits have been sought and stuff like that, because the
- 35:31Speaker 2: work is always on the go. But they yeah, they
- 35:36Speaker 2: popped up and it swung all the way back up
- 35:38Speaker 2: to as far as Manchester and there's in a one
- 35:43Speaker 2: of the Wigan police policemen I'm only doing this. It's
- 35:47Speaker 2: not particularly interesting, but I'm doing it because I want
- 35:49Speaker 2: to do the accent. So he gave he gave a
- 35:53Speaker 2: statement to the newspapers like so he named the lads
- 35:57Speaker 2: so Russ McGain andrew, but we're registered to olivate company
- 36:02Speaker 2: directors to play the leading role in the conspiracy running
- 36:07Speaker 2: the day to day business. Yeah, running the day they do.
- 36:11Speaker 3: You know what?
- 36:12Speaker 2: They're making the sound they liaised, directing the work carried
- 36:15Speaker 2: out by waiting to hear this. Graham Roberts played the
- 36:17Speaker 2: key role in operating as a skilled joint not that
- 36:21Speaker 2: fucking skilled. And then they blew the head off his
- 36:23Speaker 2: off his colleague responsible for splicing and connecting the live
- 36:27Speaker 2: cable to run the new feed into premises. In terms
- 36:30Speaker 2: of for cannabis production, he like, I gotta give the
- 36:34Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? I gotta give these
- 36:36Speaker 2: lads kudos the stones to walk around to drive around
- 36:40Speaker 2: the country, take rock breakers like this isn't even a
- 36:43Speaker 2: sneak thing. Like you're climbing up a pole this day,
- 36:47Speaker 2: like where they you know, you climb a pole, you
- 36:50Speaker 2: could lash onto somebody's electricity cable or Yeah, these lads
- 36:55Speaker 2: had rock breakers, diggers going down the street, just gone
- 37:00Speaker 2: all right, I all love listen. Bow is going to
- 37:03Speaker 2: be off from half an hour, so you know, if
- 37:04Speaker 2: you're going to have dryer on, you know, just know
- 37:07Speaker 2: it's going to be off. And they think it a
- 37:10Speaker 2: lovely lad for giving them the heads up because they
- 37:13Speaker 2: got to They produced one hundred juice to one hundred farms.
- 37:18Speaker 2: This means these lads have at least planned to go
- 37:20Speaker 2: two or three years doing this, so you had to
- 37:23Speaker 2: assume they were flying it. Do you mean they were
- 37:26Speaker 2: absolutely having a great time, time, a great time like
- 37:32Speaker 2: and I hate not for Lottinger. And I'll tell you something.
- 37:35Speaker 2: These lads were grafting. This wasn't here's the thing. Here's
- 37:39Speaker 2: where like you know, you know I got to die, Dame.
- 37:42Speaker 2: It's rare. I can knock the hustle.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Even if you are a robin electricity to cannabis grow farms,
- 37:47Speaker 1: which I suppose, like you know, in a in a
- 37:49Speaker 1: kind of a robin hood sort of a way, I
- 37:51Speaker 1: could say, I kind of respect your growing cannabis. It's
- 37:54Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world, I suppose, but
- 37:55Speaker 1: I'm sure you're not using the profits for fucking orphanages
- 37:59Speaker 1: and mun baby homes or whatever the hell it might.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm sure that profit is going to
- 38:04Speaker 2: terrible things. Ah, you're right there digging a hole at night, luds.
- 38:08Speaker 1: That's that's a lot more than.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Some of you fuckers are doing. This is the thing, like,
- 38:12Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? There's you know, yeah,
- 38:16Speaker 2: I mean, look, everybody knows my background, so I fucking
- 38:18Speaker 2: civil's works lads, and you said, hey, easy work, Like
- 38:21Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta put your boots on and pull
- 38:22Speaker 2: your trousers up one leg at a time. These guys
- 38:24Speaker 2: who were getting out and getting after It's like these
- 38:26Speaker 2: white collar motherfuckers there who are just in our face
- 38:29Speaker 2: stealing our money for whatever, you know, jiggery pokery in
- 38:32Speaker 2: the stock market and stuff. You're like, these motherfuckers should
- 38:34Speaker 2: do time. Not saying these lads shouldn't do time, but
- 38:37Speaker 2: by Jesus Christ, they would have grafted in all weathers
- 38:43Speaker 2: that they picked a hard way of making like they
- 38:46Speaker 2: didn't even pick the growing bit, the growing bit, the
- 38:50Speaker 2: plants doing all the fucking growing. You just have to
- 38:53Speaker 2: turn the lights on and maybe kick the house out
- 38:55Speaker 2: in a lot of tinfoile. These boys are down in trenches,
- 38:58Speaker 2: hoofing it out like they you gotta get after it,
- 39:01Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I gotta tell you, Tom,
- 39:03Speaker 2: do you think And this is the last thing I
- 39:05Speaker 2: have to say on this.
- 39:06Speaker 1: I can talk all night, but I have a couple
- 39:07Speaker 1: of have a couple of candle me, Tom's, you're gonna
- 39:09Speaker 1: have to shut me up.
- 39:09Speaker 2: At some like do you think there's a scenario here?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Like it's like, where do you get criminal electricians? Criminal?
- 39:18Speaker 2: Like criminal electricians? Two words? Where do you get criminal electricians? Like?
- 39:24Speaker 1: Do you think that there's a situation here like in
- 39:26Speaker 1: the departed where like these guys are recruited early doors
- 39:30Speaker 1: and it's like crime lords coming around.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Like I see you passed your false course. Kid, you
- 39:35Speaker 2: want to come with me make some real money. Hey, hey,
- 39:39Speaker 2: let me tell you. Everybody in the street fucking hates you.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Everybody in the street hates you. Everybody you get street
- 39:46Speaker 2: us start running running power for me? You run juice
- 39:49Speaker 2: for me, son, Like you grab a hold of a
- 39:53Speaker 2: four inch Mainz cable. That's real power, kid.
- 40:00Speaker 1: But it's a very true thing town. Because I gotta
- 40:02Speaker 1: tell you where I work. At the minute, I'm looking
- 40:04Speaker 1: at the window at lads digging up a whole outside
- 40:08Speaker 1: for three straight weeks. And I gotta be honest with you,
- 40:11Speaker 1: I've never it has never dawned on me that they
- 40:14Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the jit. They could be doing anything anything,
- 40:18Speaker 1: But he could be doing anything.
- 40:19Speaker 2: But as you said, Jar, like you're looking for a
- 40:22Speaker 2: hooky sparks or whatever, you're looking for a hockey civilis company.
- 40:25Speaker 2: They had to be making serious twine because civils companies
- 40:31Speaker 2: and contractors, we know the names of them. I had
- 40:33Speaker 2: a bit of a fallen out recently with one of
- 40:35Speaker 2: the bigger ones. But they can they can just criminally
- 40:39Speaker 2: run rough shots through your place and have the government
- 40:41Speaker 2: behind them when it comes because they're doing the esp
- 40:44Speaker 2: i e. God's work. But they can literally drive over
- 40:47Speaker 2: your grandmother with their digger and go. She was in
- 40:50Speaker 2: the fucking way And I had to turn people. I
- 40:52Speaker 2: had to get to that poll. So but and they
- 40:55Speaker 2: are making serious twine. So these lads, these lads had
- 41:00Speaker 2: to be making savage money, savage her time. Like you know,
- 41:04Speaker 2: I that elephant was doing all this on this and
- 41:08Speaker 2: I can guarantee any of it. I can guarantee you
- 41:11Speaker 2: it wasn't just for the all the farmers they were doing.
- 41:14Speaker 2: I guarantee the odd you know, I'm not saying they
- 41:18Speaker 2: were good lads or they were bad lads, but I'm
- 41:20Speaker 2: just saying they would have been the odd one that
- 41:22Speaker 2: maybe would have reminded them of their mothers, not that
- 41:24Speaker 2: kind of way. You know, the bills were killing them.
- 41:27Speaker 2: You know, the UK don't look after their old people
- 41:29Speaker 2: like we do. You know, why don't we just runner
- 41:33Speaker 2: in one justice? I think I gotta be honest with you.
- 41:37Speaker 2: I think electricity should be free. It's an argument for
- 41:39Speaker 2: another podcast, to be honest. If we're getting into the
- 41:42Speaker 2: tessels called stuff there it is, it is for free.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Technically we're all being we have entered into communistic right slash.
- 41:52Speaker 1: It has become apparent, Tom, like when we have a
- 41:55Speaker 1: couple of drinks in US, we're communists as fuck.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let's not pull that that right there you go, ladies, question,
- 42:05Speaker 2: they didn't do too bad that time they got They
- 42:07Speaker 2: got like twenty three months and a couple got big,
- 42:09Speaker 2: big sentences because it's drugs and stuff like that. But listen,
- 42:14Speaker 2: you know, I'm not saying there after, what what is
- 42:18Speaker 2: the charge? What is the charge operating a stopco system
- 42:22Speaker 2: fraudulent to a cannabis farm about two hundred and forty
- 42:27Speaker 2: four cabs farm. Delicious. That's you right now. If you're
- 42:33Speaker 2: can arrested for the podcast, you'll be like, what's the cry?
- 42:37Speaker 2: But enjoying a delicious podcast. Succulent communism. Come here, listen.
- 42:47Speaker 2: We we we are. We're very possibly staggering into real
- 42:52Speaker 2: row territories. So while I crack my next can of
- 42:54Speaker 2: the evening Tom, We're going to settle the heads a
- 42:57Speaker 2: little bit. Now.
- 42:57Speaker 1: We're gonna chack kindly to each other. We're going to
- 43:01Speaker 1: remain certainly not going to have to have a symt Patrick's.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Day route attitude. Don't start. Yeah, I mean it would be.
- 43:14Speaker 2: It'd be so like for anybody listening from other countries,
- 43:16Speaker 2: which you do and whatnot. But you go with the patties.
- 43:19Speaker 2: They're definitely gonn ever because they've been drinking and there's
- 43:24Speaker 2: every possibility of it to be there.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, like I need drinking me to
- 43:29Speaker 1: start around, you know you literally I've started rousing stone
- 43:35Speaker 1: stone cold sober at like seven o'clock in the morning.
- 43:38Speaker 2: But here's the thing, it is Sym Patrick's day to day.
- 43:40Speaker 2: We hope everybody.
- 43:41Speaker 1: But by the time you listen to this St Patrick's
- 43:43Speaker 1: Day will be long gone. You'll care more about next
- 43:45Speaker 1: year Symt Patrick Stay than this year Sir Patrick's Day,
- 43:47Speaker 1: which is why we didn't do a Sin Patrick's Day episode.
- 43:49Speaker 2: But it cannot be denied that we are recording this
- 43:52Speaker 2: on a bank holiday Monday. You're welcome, everybody, let's we
- 43:55Speaker 2: put it in here. Yeah, but it is a bank holiday, Tom,
- 43:59Speaker 2: it is a bank holiday, thank god. And I gotta
- 44:03Speaker 2: tell you there are different ways to.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Run a bank holiday Monday, and I thought we would
- 44:09Speaker 1: go through a couple of them here and see which
- 44:12Speaker 1: is the best way to spend a bank holiday, because
- 44:14Speaker 1: the way I spend my bank holiday and the way
- 44:17Speaker 1: you spent your bank holiday two very different things, my friend.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Can't no, no, But I think we
- 44:28Speaker 2: can't again, we can't be dictators to all the people.
- 44:31Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we start waving our arms before
- 44:34Speaker 2: we know over up at the pulpit and there's a
- 44:36Speaker 2: large group in front of us, and we're heading out
- 44:37Speaker 2: pamphlets and and stuff like that, and then there's a
- 44:39Speaker 2: militia and I'm just saying, there's time and say the
- 44:43Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry. The Tom and Jerry Little Red Book
- 44:46Speaker 2: is not on saling shops this Christmas, but like what
- 44:48Speaker 2: if it was? So I'll tell the people what I
- 44:51Speaker 2: did today. Okay, fuck all, this is the most.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Work I've done in eighteen hours straight. I woke up
- 44:58Speaker 1: this morning and I sat on the sofa, and other
- 45:01Speaker 1: than take the dog out for a wheez and pooze
- 45:03Speaker 1: and come back in, I've done, Dick, all.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Of ship did you did you wake up on the sofa?
- 45:10Speaker 2: I fell asleep on the sofa. I woke up in
- 45:12Speaker 2: the bed. I don't know how that happened, but just
- 45:15Speaker 2: imagine your wife picking you up like a child. Just
- 45:19Speaker 2: get your fireman carry and get me up the stairs. Yeah.
- 45:24Speaker 2: So that was my I had. I had.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I had a bank called a week bank holiday Monday,
- 45:28Speaker 1: not a weekend. I worked hard over the weekend, but
- 45:30Speaker 1: on a bank holiday Monday.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I was like, don't come looking for me, Tom, what
- 45:33Speaker 2: did you do today this morning? All week I woke
- 45:38Speaker 2: up as for you. I didn't get any sofa time
- 45:42Speaker 2: because the old I thought I might get a bit
- 45:44Speaker 2: of sofa time. But I made the the remark to
- 45:49Speaker 2: the old man, maybe we get a bit of plaster
- 45:51Speaker 2: and done, and I we have a lot of security
- 45:54Speaker 2: cameras here and when when I see it buzzn't at
- 45:56Speaker 2: ten to eight, it's not normally you know, somebody out
- 46:00Speaker 2: riding their horse, pastic gade, it's I know who it is.
- 46:02Speaker 2: It's the out Yeah, down he comes and like rocking
- 46:06Speaker 2: up and you can't. What are you supposed to your

- 46:16Speaker 2: say now, you don't turn it and say that you can't.
- 46:20Speaker 2: You just can't. So I just sad twice. Yeah you're yeah,
- 46:25Speaker 2: you won't get an opportunity to say the second time.
- 46:27Speaker 2: But on with the old sneakers, on with the boots,
- 46:29Speaker 2: and we went. We started the last bit of plaster
- 46:32Speaker 2: that needs doing. Jerry is at the back of the house.
- 46:34Speaker 2: And to be fare, you couldn't ask for a better
- 46:36Speaker 2: day for blasts. Bitter, overcast, not flogging rain, not over
- 46:39Speaker 2: the hot. So we cracked on with that and then
- 46:43Speaker 2: I went to the parade, went to the braid, and
- 46:45Speaker 2: like I said that this himself had went.
- 46:47Speaker 1: I know, to be fair, I went to the parade
- 46:48Speaker 1: as well, but like on the general standard issue bank,
- 46:50Speaker 1: holl of it, that wouldn't be a parade, No, no, no, And.
- 46:54Speaker 2: Do you know what I'd intended on doing funk all
- 46:57Speaker 2: when I came back. But then there's a bit of
- 47:00Speaker 2: a tidy up still needs to happen, because there's still
- 47:01Speaker 2: a bit building sightly looking in certain parts of the place,
- 47:04Speaker 2: and you're like, Jesus Christ, do you know what? There's
- 47:07Speaker 2: a great phraser around here, like you know, if you
- 47:08Speaker 2: would if you'd a great suit on, but a pair
- 47:11Speaker 2: of shy shoes. What they describe is just the fucking
- 47:14Speaker 2: suits only laughing at them shoes. Do you know what
- 47:16Speaker 2: I mean?
- 47:16Speaker 1: You know?
- 47:17Speaker 2: And that's what's happened. The good bits at the sight
- 47:19Speaker 2: now of the house are only fucking laughing at the
- 47:21Speaker 2: bits that are still messy and have the old fucking
- 47:25Speaker 2: We tour three of those ascid barrels that I've used
- 47:27Speaker 2: for filling water, and they're sitting there looking at me,
- 47:30Speaker 2: big blue bastard and things, and they are good for
- 47:31Speaker 2: fuck all now at this stage. So I had to get,
- 47:35Speaker 2: you know, and out the back of the garage. Never
- 47:37Speaker 2: look there ever again in your life because they're it's
- 47:40Speaker 2: tidy in the sense that it's tidy. Shit is what
- 47:43Speaker 2: it is. But I can't part with a lot of it,
- 47:45Speaker 2: or I can't I'm not ready for that good. But
- 47:50Speaker 2: the tidy started, and then I got to I got
- 47:52Speaker 2: to have a stuff, I got toxty. I'm I gotta
- 47:55Speaker 2: tie you in. Something tells me you're not even at
- 47:57Speaker 2: eleven o'clock and I'm exhausted listening to the sounds. You
- 48:00Speaker 2: did nothing but work from one end of this day
- 48:02Speaker 2: to the next. You know, now, did you say it? Yeah?
- 48:04Speaker 2: And I was wondering why the wife kept them coming
- 48:06Speaker 2: out with an espresso coffee. I'm like Jesus Christ, I'm
- 48:08Speaker 2: absolutely fucking buzzing through today. And that's what it was.
- 48:11Speaker 2: It was she just keep me amped up, keeping me
- 48:12Speaker 2: out of the house. It's much easier if I'm not around,
- 48:15Speaker 2: to be honest with you, The reason I bring this
- 48:17Speaker 2: up to me is because we have another way. Were
- 48:19Speaker 2: heading into a summer bank.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Callada is you've the main bank cality, you have a
- 48:21Speaker 1: couple of good, nice bank called the Weekend's coming in
- 48:23Speaker 1: and we want the listeners of the Tomma Jerry Show
- 48:25Speaker 1: to do all things.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Correct in their lives. And you know, on the shoulders
- 48:31Speaker 2: of the.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Tomma Jerry Show listeners, there are two devils and devil
- 48:34Speaker 1: and an angel and devil like yourself that says, get
- 48:36Speaker 1: out there, plaster a wall, power hosey, yard, wash the car,
- 48:41Speaker 1: do a bitity IY fix that swinging gait. And then
- 48:43Speaker 1: there's an angel like me saying, sit down, play, got
- 48:47Speaker 1: a war, eat a sandwich, do nothing.
- 48:51Speaker 2: You work hard enough, do nothing. I tell you, I
- 48:57Speaker 2: yearn I yearned for that, I had that once upon
- 49:00Speaker 2: a time when I was younger. The amount of bank
- 49:03Speaker 2: holidays that I've woken up absolutely hanging out my hole.
- 49:07Speaker 2: And the only way to solve that is to absolutely
- 49:09Speaker 2: not do any work, any cerebal effort, love it, and
- 49:13Speaker 2: to a mosey down for an early breakfast in the
- 49:15Speaker 2: pub that has come half eleven will have clicked over
- 49:19Speaker 2: into ALLOWE to sell me drink, and then we'll we're
- 49:21Speaker 2: back on it again, and we'll quit about about five
- 49:24Speaker 2: o'clock because I'm full up to the neck with dinners,
- 49:26Speaker 2: pints and all the rest of it. Home for peas
- 49:29Speaker 2: and pools in the bed for about eight o'clock and
- 49:32Speaker 2: up and on the job on Tuesday that has been
- 49:36Speaker 2: I've had more of those glorious glory. Where did that
- 49:38Speaker 2: man go home? Now?
- 49:39Speaker 1: And this man is out plastic like you know that
- 49:42Speaker 1: man that's going around there eating what sounds to me
- 49:45Speaker 1: like two cavalies in.
- 49:46Speaker 2: A day, which is a bucket list for absolutely two
- 49:51Speaker 2: absolute cavary at one o'clock and one of the eight o'clock.
- 49:54Speaker 2: What a world you could live in. I have done
- 49:57Speaker 2: several times. I've done that several times. I've had two caves,
- 50:00Speaker 2: but I never you know, I never had the neck
- 50:03Speaker 2: to do it in the same place.
- 50:04Speaker 1: I'll tell your own thing, Tom, you have today. I'm
- 50:09Speaker 1: going to tell you I do a lot of things
- 50:10Speaker 1: on a bank holiday, but what I won't do is
- 50:12Speaker 1: wet a powdered aggregate.
- 50:18Speaker 2: I tell you though, Jerr, there was a there was
- 50:21Speaker 2: a joy in uh in that cemental line mixture this morning.
- 50:26Speaker 2: I want like getting it absolutely spot on to the
- 50:28Speaker 2: point and leaven all I was like, Jesus, there's a
- 50:30Speaker 2: fluffy go after you know what? I mean to sit
- 50:33Speaker 2: up in the trout if you know you're to literally
- 50:34Speaker 2: talk to you now, do.
- 50:35Speaker 1: You know I'm going to tell you, Tom like so
- 50:38Speaker 1: so so so so so so.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Basically, a bank call, it is a free day. Okay,
- 50:42Speaker 2: it's it's an extra day in the in the week,
- 50:44Speaker 2: so you don't have to go to your work work,
- 50:46Speaker 2: you don't have to edits, and so you don't what
- 50:49Speaker 2: you have to do.
- 50:49Speaker 1: All you can do on the bank callady time I'm
- 50:51Speaker 1: going to tell you is do what you want to do,
- 50:53Speaker 1: and sometimes I will. I appreciate that what you want
- 50:56Speaker 1: to do is tidy this can house, or just do
- 51:00Speaker 1: this this job has been hanging over me. That's a
- 51:02Speaker 1: shelf that hasn't been hung. There's no better time. I
- 51:05Speaker 1: can't do it in a Monday to Friday nine to
- 51:07Speaker 1: five because I'm working, and I can't do it at
- 51:10Speaker 1: the weekend because I'm tired, or the kids of.
- 51:12Speaker 2: X y Z. But this is a free day.
- 51:14Speaker 1: This is a free day, and generally it will fall
- 51:17Speaker 1: that you can use that free day to rest and recuperate,
- 51:20Speaker 1: get a little R and R surf in the middle
- 51:23Speaker 1: of a helicopter attack. Whatever it is you want to
- 51:25Speaker 1: rest yourself, or you can do some jobs that have
- 51:29Speaker 1: been hanging over you. And there is I appreciate tumors
- 51:32Speaker 1: like a there's a gy in that there's a giant
- 51:34Speaker 1: knowing that you never have to do that one particular
- 51:37Speaker 1: job again in the yard because you can Jesus Christ
- 51:41Speaker 1: a tankless fucking toothbrush off the fucking of your outdoors.
- 51:46Speaker 2: No, these those two jobs that we're done today, the
- 51:48Speaker 2: two major jobs that we're doing today, will never have
- 51:50Speaker 2: to be done again. And you did you. I know
- 51:53Speaker 2: it wasn't an easy job to home. But do you
- 51:55Speaker 2: feel rested after? No? No, no, But I'll tell you
- 51:59Speaker 2: what I did. I don't feel fucked. And do you
- 52:00Speaker 2: know what fox mejor is tinking? And there's one thing
- 52:04Speaker 2: holling and ignorant, ripping into things. I don't have to
- 52:08Speaker 2: think because I've done them that many times. There's no
- 52:11Speaker 2: thinky thinking. And that would be my advice to anybody
- 52:14Speaker 2: if you can find a way of not not thinking
- 52:18Speaker 2: on a bank holiday Monday, whether it means you go
- 52:21Speaker 2: do something that doesn't require a lot of thinking or
- 52:24Speaker 2: you literally just flop down and do nothing which doesn't
- 52:27Speaker 2: require a lot of thinking. That tidy and the plastern,
- 52:31Speaker 2: that capt bit of carpentry work than I did today
- 52:32Speaker 2: that I sent you pictures of that took no thinking
- 52:34Speaker 2: at all. Okay, Okay, I like that, Tom, I like that.
- 52:37Speaker 2: I like that. Okay. So so if you are going
- 52:39Speaker 2: to do work on a bank holiday weekend and there
- 52:41Speaker 2: are several coming up, try and.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Make it work that requires little to know thinking. Don't
- 52:47Speaker 1: sit down and under the Enigma code or anything like that. No, No,
- 52:51Speaker 1: but if you are, if you do have to, And
- 52:53Speaker 1: I fucking hate painting, Tom, but I gotta tell you,
- 52:55Speaker 1: there's very little thinking required in it.
- 52:56Speaker 2: You just kind of the.
- 53:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna paint ontil this wall is a different color,
- 53:03Speaker 1: like it's mechanical.
- 53:04Speaker 2: I like that. Okay, Yeah, either way I.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Can I can find I can find a common round there.
- 53:07Speaker 1: I can find it halfway house of that.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Can I give you a tape right for a pert
- 53:11Speaker 2: man who hates painting much like I do, at phone
- 53:14Speaker 2: tip right, that can actually shorten the road a little
- 53:17Speaker 2: bit for you on the paint front of things. Now,
- 53:19Speaker 2: this is the most childish shit you've ever seen. I
- 53:22Speaker 2: was had to paint of it the other day, right,
- 53:24Speaker 2: still not fully over, But I'm delightful for how I
- 53:27Speaker 2: actually contextualize the fucking moment that it was so I
- 53:30Speaker 2: knew where I had to paint too. I knew where
- 53:32Speaker 2: I was painting from. Guess what I did, jar I
- 53:37Speaker 2: drew an arrow on my life. I drew an arrow
- 53:42Speaker 2: coming out of the corner that I was leaving, and
- 53:45Speaker 2: I drew a straight line down the corner of where
- 53:48Speaker 2: I was about to get to. And I drew a
- 53:51Speaker 2: kind of receiving arrow, if you know what I mean,
- 53:53Speaker 2: like you were seeing dimensions, you just the arrow sticks.
- 53:57Speaker 2: And I kept on looking back over it along the
- 53:59Speaker 2: line of the arrow, like Okay, there we are, we
- 54:02Speaker 2: are making progress here. And I dotted the line all
- 54:05Speaker 2: the way along like cut here, kind of line like
- 54:09Speaker 2: and genuinely there it's the road no entry when it
- 54:11Speaker 2: came to that fucking torture that is painting. I just
- 54:15Speaker 2: if that works for anybody, I'm just saying that's what
- 54:17Speaker 2: I did. I think it fucking it. It preserved my
- 54:21Speaker 2: life during that moment, during that a one hour period.
- 54:25Speaker 2: But my advice again, if paint is your thing, if
- 54:30Speaker 2: that's your gamor, you can just shut off and listen
- 54:32Speaker 2: to Focus Spotify and listen to the podcast. Maybe your
- 54:34Speaker 2: paint right now. But if you have a bank, call them.
- 54:36Speaker 2: You're like, fuck me, I don't want to do that thing,
- 54:38Speaker 2: do the one thing whatever it is that makes you
- 54:42Speaker 2: not have to think, and don't be looking up no
- 54:44Speaker 2: Internet facts, don't be looking up your incyclopedias, don't be
- 54:47Speaker 2: doing no no you I think Monday bank of them
- 54:51Speaker 2: on the day you should be allowed to just be
- 54:53Speaker 2: a little bit take Do you know what I mean?
- 54:55Speaker 2: I get that, yeah, And I have to say, Tom,
- 54:57Speaker 2: I have to say, like, you know, there was a point.
- 54:59Speaker 1: In the where I felt like particularly lazy, like I'd
- 55:02Speaker 1: wasted the bank holiday ever so slightly. I was like
- 55:04Speaker 1: I should have done something. I should have made a
- 55:06Speaker 1: start on the air or doing something something.
- 55:10Speaker 2: You're doing. I'm podcasting with the fine folks, but like
- 55:13Speaker 2: I'm talking about worktops. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you
- 55:16Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 55:17Speaker 1: Find an hour do something for an hour, as Tom says, there,
- 55:20Speaker 1: find something mechanical and thoughtless that you can just sort
- 55:22Speaker 1: of halfway enjoy and relax in the joy of having
- 55:26Speaker 1: it done.
- 55:26Speaker 2: And be okay, and then do nothing the rest of
- 55:28Speaker 2: the day. That's a bank holiday, I think. So it's
- 55:31Speaker 2: very rare we actually settle one of these routes. Tom.
- 55:33Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing.
- 55:33Speaker 1: You said it there yourself if you are indeed now
- 55:36Speaker 1: there's several bank holidays coming up. If you are indeed
- 55:39Speaker 1: settling down to some do some mechanical mindless task that
- 55:42Speaker 1: you can just and plow through it be gardening and
- 55:46Speaker 1: cleaning out the shed, cleaning out.
- 55:47Speaker 2: The attic plaster in the wall, as Tom did there.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Now do you know what would benefit you?
