- 2:03Speaker 2: he gave out about for a whole segment last week,
- 2:06Speaker 2: but had nothing to do with the death of this
- 2:08Speaker 2: one this week.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And I wanted to get that clear right. I've wanted
- 2:11Speaker 1: to say that live on a podcast to you so
- 2:14Speaker 1: that I'm not implicated. I have no way of proving it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: The dog won't say anything, but I'm just saying that
- 2:19Speaker 1: out there.
- 2:20Speaker 2: It wasn't me.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I had nothing at all to do with it.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Only good plan for not implicating yourself as going horribly dumb.
- 2:31Speaker 2: But other than that, we are into September, brother, and
- 2:35Speaker 2: are you finding it? The young lad started back at school.
- 2:38Speaker 2: I saw you put him up on Facebook. You can't
- 2:40Speaker 2: deny that.
- 2:42Speaker 1: No, it's going to be you think he's going to
- 2:44Speaker 1: at some stage diverge and stop looking like me. But
- 2:46Speaker 1: it's as somebody wrote, how does he look more like
- 2:49Speaker 1: you than you do? Like? Oh, yeah, that's a valid point,
- 2:53Speaker 1: kid that it's ridiculous. I think more than anything, I'm
- 2:56Speaker 1: starting to look more like him. Whatever's happening. He started school?
- 3:00Speaker 1: I don't know, like the the the scare monger, and
- 3:03Speaker 1: people need to stop being such cliche whoors when it

- 3:10Speaker 1: you know people get people get oh god own, you know,
- 3:13Speaker 1: saying things like over for another year now? These kind
- 3:15Speaker 1: of just be original because the amount of people that

- 7:06Speaker 1: done this the day of and everything and be late
- 7:08Speaker 1: with it, And God, you're good with scheduling. Fair play
- 7:11Speaker 1: to you.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Well, let's find out how wise this was as a
- 7:17Speaker 2: weekly what have you? Tom? We're talking about the anniversary
- 7:21Speaker 2: twenty third. It is of September the eleventh, the September
- 7:26Speaker 2: the eleventh attack. Now we're a good crack podcast, Tom,
- 7:30Speaker 2: But if any of the listeners are kind of going
- 7:32Speaker 2: like lads thinking, we're about to spend the next twenty
- 7:36Speaker 2: minutes making light of the September eleventh attacks, which claimed
- 7:40Speaker 2: over three thousand American lives and kicked off pretty much
- 7:44Speaker 2: two straight decades of war on Hell. We're not going
- 7:49Speaker 2: to do that, okay, but we said that we would
- 7:51Speaker 2: market because it is an important anniversary, of course, and
- 7:56Speaker 2: I had know the news this week, Tom.
- 7:58Speaker 1: There was plenty of news. But I think given both
- 8:00Speaker 1: our affiliation with America and stuff like that, I mean,
- 8:02Speaker 1: even though we have in a lot of ways no
- 8:05Speaker 1: time for America at all, but awful time in some
- 8:08Speaker 1: ways for America.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Well, this is it, and not for nothing as well.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I want to say, Tom, I'm forty four for this
- 8:14Speaker 2: next part. I know you're behind me here before forty
- 8:16Speaker 2: three year about.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I'll be forty three. In nineteen days time, I'll be
- 8:19Speaker 1: forty three, so not that far behind you.
- 8:22Speaker 2: So you think about it. This isn't now twenty three
- 8:24Speaker 2: years so both of us were like nineteen twenty.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Okay.
- 8:26Speaker 2: So here's what we're gonna do, folks. Okay, I told
- 8:28Speaker 2: you already. We're not gonna make Little at September eleventh.
- 8:31Speaker 2: It's not that kind of podcast. And we're not going
- 8:33Speaker 2: to get into the conspiracy theories of nine to eleven.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into a podcast anything really of
- 8:38Speaker 1: nine to eleven. There's plenty of documentaries out there if
- 8:41Speaker 1: you want to go have a look at that kind
- 8:42Speaker 1: of thing.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I'll throw out through a few up on the socials
- 8:45Speaker 2: if you're curious. But I'll tell you what we can do,
- 8:48Speaker 2: Tom mm hm, with the very level best of men.
- 8:53Speaker 2: What we can do is we can make everything all
- 8:56Speaker 2: about ourselves. And that's what we're gonna do right here.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Most comedian thing I've ever heard my intre life. Well,
- 9:04Speaker 1: you know, it's a tragic scenario. But at the same time, Tom.
- 9:07Speaker 2: What were you at nine to eleven? Just about us?
- 9:10Speaker 2: So here's what we're going to do. Tom, It's really
- 9:12Speaker 2: easy and I can't believe we haven't done it before.
- 9:14Speaker 2: We'll just take the final listeners of the Tom and
- 9:16Speaker 2: Jerry podcast through our experiences of the day, which should
- 9:21Speaker 2: be pretty different.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, well mine, yeah, cut straight to the point.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Mine ours much more than mine, I would say.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I I'm sure I've told you about
- 9:32Speaker 1: this before, but I was in America for that summer
- 9:35Speaker 1: for my j one, Yes, Adan, and we were in
- 9:39Speaker 1: Boston and of course, being such cliche irish young flers
- 9:45Speaker 1: with our face, incredibly, we have decent fake ID made
- 9:49Speaker 1: before we went because we were, you know, actually over
- 9:53Speaker 1: age at home, being nineteen I think an underage in America.
- 9:57Speaker 1: And it was a great summer. We he spent an
- 10:00Speaker 1: arts and about. I tipped around between New York and
- 10:03Speaker 1: Florida and and whatnot. And I was one of the
- 10:06Speaker 1: last to go. The lads had all gone a few
- 10:08Speaker 1: weeks before me. But I I'm you know, I'm one
- 10:10Speaker 1: of those guys to like to get all of the
- 10:12Speaker 1: parody out of me.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Yes maam.
- 10:15Speaker 1: But what like, there'll be people listening to this that
- 10:17Speaker 1: are maybe that young that yeah, okay, they're pre that
- 10:20Speaker 1: or what everyone they were born, but they were so young,
- 10:22Speaker 1: maybe they hadn't flown or taken responsibility. But what they
- 10:25Speaker 1: didn't realize the turning point of airport security that happened
- 10:30Speaker 1: immediately after that. Because and I've said this, and I
- 10:32Speaker 1: don't mind saying it because it's such a I've said
- 10:35Speaker 1: it many times, but it's such a poignant moment. Was
- 10:37Speaker 1: I flew home and I'll go back a few days
- 10:41Speaker 1: as well. I flew home at September tenth out of Boston,
- 10:44Speaker 1: the same airport, right same airport that they flew out of,
- 10:47Speaker 1: the hijackers flew out of, And I had washed my
- 10:53Speaker 1: passport accidentally in some laundromat in Fort Lauderdale, you know,
- 10:58Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, not fully sober, kind of does
- 11:00Speaker 1: that like? And I remember, yeah, producing it to the woman.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Actually also, I two baseball bats that I was bringing home,
- 11:07Speaker 1: and right they were like they were technically weapons, and
- 11:11Speaker 1: they were checking lads. Other Irish lads were ahead of me.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You can see thed Hurleies with them. They were kind
- 11:15Speaker 1: of have to check them into you know, into the right,
- 11:18Speaker 1: right right because of their weapons. And Joan was looking
- 11:20Speaker 1: at me kind of going, sure, look at you go on.
- 11:23Speaker 1: So she was leaving me bring bring these two baseball
- 11:26Speaker 1: bats on board. And when I produced my i'd such
- 11:28Speaker 1: a KOI nineteen year old soon to be twenty or
- 11:32Speaker 1: twenty year old headed me sure because after getting washed
- 11:35Speaker 1: and at this stage she was used to so many
- 11:37Speaker 1: big bud munching heads. She was so lovely. The woman
- 11:41Speaker 1: her name was some like you know Bridges as well.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Behind the counter. She was lovely.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Who she'd remind you of was the kind of nana
- 11:49Speaker 1: from Dennis to Menace. Do you remember them? They?
- 11:51Speaker 2: Yeah, you know she was.
- 11:52Speaker 1: She was lovely and she went, well, well, would you
- 11:56Speaker 1: be the cleanest guy on the flight. I'm like, oh,
- 11:58Speaker 1: she I suppose I will short, you know.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Go on and to be fair time, like she's working
- 12:03Speaker 2: in the Boston Airport service in Dublin, so like you know,
- 12:07Speaker 2: she'd be used to this kind of thing. This is
- 12:09Speaker 2: the thing, like that'll be like, excuse me, sorry, you're drunk. No, well, here,
- 12:12Speaker 2: have a couple of bottles on me.
- 12:16Speaker 1: But as we all know, everything changed extremely from ten
- 12:20Speaker 1: million liters and you know, kick your shoes off and
- 12:22Speaker 1: Q and you know, ludicrous the TSA.
- 12:27Speaker 2: The system that's in place now for anybody that was
- 12:29Speaker 2: I'm thinking like anybody that was like five years of
- 12:31Speaker 2: age at the time, Yeah, yeah, would be twenty eight
- 12:35Speaker 2: going on thirty. Here's me being generous that they say,
- 12:38Speaker 2: like the the lower end of the demographic would be
- 12:42Speaker 2: thirty ish, right, give or take. We're into the zoo.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Well we're into the low twenties too. We've quite a
- 12:48Speaker 1: large population of early twenties. So Leeds, you have the
- 12:52Speaker 1: clue what he's talking about here.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this is it.
- 12:54Speaker 2: And if if the rest of you do, you're probably
- 12:56Speaker 2: in a push. You are going through security. The security
- 12:58Speaker 2: that we have in airports these they is today We've
- 13:02Speaker 2: been fighting against that, Tom for twenty straight years to
- 13:05Speaker 2: get used to it, and we're only used to it now.
- 13:07Speaker 2: It didn't used to be what you're shit in a
- 13:10Speaker 2: plastic bag. We lived through the whole process of okay, okay,
- 13:14Speaker 2: we have it. Now you can take on this amount
- 13:16Speaker 2: of liquid if you put it in a bag, and
- 13:18Speaker 2: we're like, okay, fine, fine.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Three the day even I was talking about bree that lads,
- 13:26Speaker 1: you could prrectly walk with a fag hanging out of
- 13:27Speaker 1: your mouth and yeah, doing about ten battle of vodka
- 13:30Speaker 1: in your arms and strolla define us Define So.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Tom, were you in the air on September the eleventh
- 13:37Speaker 2: or you touch down?
- 13:38Speaker 1: I know I touched down, and I'll go back a
- 13:41Speaker 1: few days. I was in on September eighth. I was
- 13:45Speaker 1: in New York to visit a cousin who lived in Yonkers.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I was staying in the borough of Yonkers with him
- 13:50Speaker 1: for a couple of days, and he took me down
- 13:51Speaker 1: to We didn't get to meet our his brother, who
- 13:55Speaker 1: worked in one of the buildings, Tower two, right, he didn't.
- 13:59Speaker 1: We didn't get to meet him that day, but we
- 14:00Speaker 1: went out for lunch. We hung out, I always did
- 14:03Speaker 1: the usual thing, walk through Wall Street, the whole lot,
- 14:05Speaker 1: and being an engineering student, you're at the time, you're
- 14:08Speaker 1: just looking at these huge buildings, going the balls on
- 14:11Speaker 1: these fellas, the balls on them, like one thing to
- 14:14Speaker 1: build now, you know what I mean, you literally have
- 14:16Speaker 1: or even at the time in two thousand and one,
- 14:18Speaker 1: you'd you know, CAD computerated drawing that could calculate all
- 14:21Speaker 1: the moments of the the you know, the full crumbs
- 14:24Speaker 1: and stuff like that. You're just looking going, how much
- 14:26Speaker 1: of this was built? Kind of gone, yeah, uh, the
- 14:29Speaker 1: last one, yeah, you.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Know, a couple of stories on it is probably grand.
- 14:33Speaker 1: But like when I started talking to him who had
- 14:35Speaker 1: been quite into it, these like see that building over there,
- 14:37Speaker 1: I was like building number seven, which did come down
- 14:39Speaker 1: as well. He says, that is the most that actually
- 14:42Speaker 1: is in I don't know some but World Ginness Book
- 14:45Speaker 1: for the most oversized steel in it like ludicrous steel,
- 14:51Speaker 1: like you know, not necessary at all to hold up
- 14:54Speaker 1: not the tallest building in New York, but still just
- 14:56Speaker 1: they went Jesus Christ put in the biggest like you
- 14:59Speaker 1: could have built seven built ins out of the steel
- 15:00Speaker 1: beams with in the.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Thing, but someone had to causing the soul steel one.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Hundred per one hundred percent. It was like, well, it
- 15:07Speaker 1: sure look good. It is better looking at it than
- 15:09Speaker 1: for us, do you know?
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:11Speaker 1: But I just remember thinking, do not the nuts on
- 15:15Speaker 1: you to keep going, We'll throw another one on. Well,
- 15:18Speaker 1: I will throw another floor on. And there's twin towers.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Were the two that just flabbergasted me. They took up
- 15:26Speaker 1: all the skyline of your eyesight. Even if you uture
- 15:28Speaker 1: back to them, you could see the fucking things. I say,
- 15:31Speaker 1: but standing just go up and up on them, and
- 15:34Speaker 1: you're up and up, and I remember what my little
- 15:37Speaker 1: camera ye yeah, yeah, yeah, because people would may not notice.
- 15:41Speaker 1: But flip phones are only a thing that and there
- 15:43Speaker 1: was no cameras in them. If there was, it was rubbish.
- 15:46Speaker 1: And I remember as the furthest point back from the plaza,
- 15:49Speaker 1: it still took. It was a two and a half
- 15:52Speaker 1: photographs from the very back corner of the plaza of
- 15:56Speaker 1: one of these things. It took too, So you'd have
- 15:58Speaker 1: to sell the tape and I'd love yeah, exactly. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: deciliative two of them together. I don't again, don't know
- 16:05Speaker 1: where it is. It would have been great to have it.
- 16:07Speaker 1: But the first thought into my head was because I
- 16:12Speaker 1: was thinking of structurally how they were built. I was
- 16:13Speaker 1: like Jesus a night divine, if just if a bitter
- 16:18Speaker 1: one came down to would destroy all around it because
- 16:21Speaker 1: they're in such a precarious place. There's madness, in my opinion,
- 16:26Speaker 1: you know, throwing up a thing that height, you know,
- 16:29Speaker 1: but obviously not considering out the way wasn't an option.
- 16:32Speaker 1: So up the way it was the only one thing.
- 16:33Speaker 1: And more than anything, they were to show a symbol
- 16:35Speaker 1: of American strength, you know, these two things literally two
- 16:39Speaker 1: fingers for the world, wasn't It really was like two
- 16:41Speaker 1: big kid cats up to the world. And that was
- 16:43Speaker 1: my first thing. I came out and I said to him,
- 16:45Speaker 1: I remember going, can you imagine one of them things
- 16:47Speaker 1: coming down, like any bit of it, but the whole
- 16:49Speaker 1: thing coming down? Like what what would be the devastation
- 16:54Speaker 1: it would cause? And that was I can't remember much
- 16:57Speaker 1: from that someone, but I remember that one phrase coming
- 16:59Speaker 1: out of me. And a couple of days later, I
- 17:02Speaker 1: was obviously on the plane and I got uh. I
- 17:05Speaker 1: got back with my doll airs, my dall hairs, and
- 17:08Speaker 1: went to lodge them in a banking cork and a
- 17:11Speaker 1: security guard came up to me and went, fuck, I
- 17:13Speaker 1: need it. Is there a flying a plane into one
- 17:15Speaker 1: of the twenty hours? I went, I was only at
- 17:18Speaker 1: the bloody things. Was only I was only at the here,
- 17:22Speaker 1: and I was raging because I wanted to go up
- 17:24Speaker 1: in it. But my cousin was around to your key
- 17:26Speaker 1: characters in or anything, so yeah, like I sure look
- 17:28Speaker 1: at it, we'll look at other stuff. So instead and
- 17:32Speaker 1: assuming it was a Cessna and Irish r.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of that going around.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Yeah, the handful of dollars that I had left, lodged
- 17:40Speaker 1: them and went back home, over to the flat, and Jesus,
- 17:46Speaker 1: the news just don't folded in front of me. I
- 17:49Speaker 1: went no, no, immediately started trying to text the ant because,
- 17:54Speaker 1: thanks for the God the cousin's irishness in him, his
- 17:58Speaker 1: his tower didn't get hit. For the other one did.
- 18:02Speaker 1: The whole world shook. He did not even consider any
- 18:06Speaker 1: of his stuff that was at the desk he was
- 18:08Speaker 1: servicing a friend's laptop. He bolted straight for the door
- 18:12Speaker 1: and down, down and out the gap that was just
- 18:14Speaker 1: his irishness in him. Went had to fuck and ran
- 18:17Speaker 1: for everything in his work didn't know whether to somebody's
- 18:20Speaker 1: loud fart or whether he didn't know. He just everything
- 18:24Speaker 1: went run, run, run, and he was a good runner.
- 18:26Speaker 1: He got he got away.
- 18:30Speaker 2: You had someone in the that's amazing. Yeah, I will
- 18:32Speaker 2: say like that. And I have watched a lot of
- 18:34Speaker 2: documentaries on it. You know, you don't victim blame or
- 18:37Speaker 2: anything like that, but a lot of people just kind
- 18:39Speaker 2: of had a bit of a suck and see mentality,
- 18:41Speaker 2: and and and sat and waited and see what was
- 18:43Speaker 2: going to happen here.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And that's that's mostly what did happen. And it wasn't
- 18:47Speaker 1: until two things kind of came to mind there. It
- 18:50Speaker 1: was one, you're indoctrinented to believe that with security will
- 18:54Speaker 1: always tell us what's happening, and we'll wait for that.
- 18:57Speaker 1: And two, the very American is some very American to
- 19:01Speaker 1: your core, but would never to be like believe in
- 19:04Speaker 1: that a magpie is going to come down and take you,
- 19:08Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was so far from
- 19:11Speaker 1: like the pride and the you know, the belief that
- 19:13Speaker 1: the Americans at the time had in themselves was just
- 19:16Speaker 1: on paralleled. Every other nation in the world had been
- 19:21Speaker 1: in a war of some sort on their own style.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? The Americans I met
- 19:25Speaker 1: just this is we've only to deal with ourselves here.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Nobody would this is fort or.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Even the building that I'm in right now has been
- 19:34Speaker 2: hit by a plane. Yeah, and so has the one
- 19:37Speaker 2: across the road. Yeah, and you know it's it's you're, you're, you're,
- 19:43Speaker 2: your cousin is the right thing. Tom, I too would
- 19:45Speaker 2: have been in the Bronx at this stage. I would have.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I'm not one of these guys that says like.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Oh I would have stayed there.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I would have. You'd have never seen a McBride move
- 19:53Speaker 2: so fast and you're like.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Not a fit. He the same man actually played winger
- 19:56Speaker 1: for Newbridge College. He was He would have been quick
- 19:58Speaker 1: on his feet, and he was that way. He was
- 20:00Speaker 1: down that stairwell. I'd say he was taken five at
- 20:03Speaker 1: a time, like just get the fucking gap, good look,
- 20:08Speaker 1: And thanks to God he did do that, and he
- 20:10Speaker 1: was smart to use his intuition. He was gone, And yeah,
- 20:14Speaker 1: I watched an unfold in and it was crazy. Our phone,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you know, couldn't get through to any phones in America.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Nobody needed knew how to deal with this. Now here's
- 20:22Speaker 1: the thing. Stuff like this has been happening in third
- 20:25Speaker 1: worlds for years. Okay, not on such a huge building. Yeah,
- 20:28Speaker 1: but like they've been going through terror and horror and
- 20:32Speaker 1: scary stuff for years.
- 20:34Speaker 2: But this is the first ourselves up the North toll
- 20:36Speaker 2: be bit.
- 20:37Speaker 1: A bit, a bit, Yes, you're right where I suppose this.
- 20:42Speaker 2: See if that makes the edit, Tom, this is the
- 20:45Speaker 2: I look what.
- 20:45Speaker 1: There would have been. There would have been a degree.
- 20:47Speaker 1: But this is the age of mobile phonest, do you
- 20:51Speaker 1: know what I mean? There was we were kind of
- 20:54Speaker 1: we were becoming very global, and now we could watch
- 20:57Speaker 1: it in real time.
- 20:58Speaker 2: You always got to the news after the fact. That's
- 21:00Speaker 2: the one thing I will say about it. You always
- 21:01Speaker 2: got the news after fact. Oh there has been an
- 21:04Speaker 2: explosion and we now go live to the scene and
- 21:07Speaker 2: here it is and yes, the building has clearly blown
- 21:10Speaker 2: up and whatnot, or there's been a car crash and
- 21:12Speaker 2: you know whatever it might be. But this is like, no,
- 21:14Speaker 2: this has happened, and hold up a seat and watch
- 21:17Speaker 2: it because it's happening right now.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Yeah live O J.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Simpson Chase.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Like, I don't think there's been anything as live. Do
- 21:24Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Since do you know what I mean, It's never been
- 21:26Speaker 2: anything as live since.
- 21:28Speaker 1: As live like in such a mesmeric Holy Jesus Christ,
- 21:32Speaker 1: what is this kind of scenario? I mean, we you know,
- 21:34Speaker 1: the I suppose desert storm was on the television a lot,
- 21:39Speaker 1: the Afghanistan warms.
- 21:41Speaker 2: But even if that now was filter, this was it
- 21:43Speaker 2: was filtered filter. And again, youngsters, the youth, the twenty
- 21:47Speaker 2: something year old listeners of the Tom and Jerry show
- 21:49Speaker 2: that you assure me we have, they're used to these
- 21:54Speaker 2: days watching live drone footage of Ukrainian lads drop a
- 21:57Speaker 2: grenades on Russians as it happens, like it's a game
- 22:00Speaker 2: of call of duty. No again, more, wasn't like that
- 22:05Speaker 2: in two thousand and one. This was I hate say, Tom,
- 22:10Speaker 2: the Weekly, what have you of? The of of of
- 22:12Speaker 2: the news. We I didn't have as much skin in
- 22:14Speaker 2: the game as you did, Tom. I was not there
- 22:17Speaker 2: the day beforehand, nor was I, you know, literally holding
- 22:20Speaker 2: currency in my hand while that happened. Yeah, yeah, either
- 22:25Speaker 2: literally with a fistful of dollars.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Yeah, like a country song, same, doesn't it?
- 22:31Speaker 2: You know, watching this on the news, wondering what the
- 22:33Speaker 2: fuck this is going to do to the exchange rate.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm just glad I got it lodged immediately, Jerry.
- 22:37Speaker 1: To be honest with Jed, that's from a Zlverish point
- 22:38Speaker 1: of view, but that's the comedian in me.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what can we do? What can we do?
- 22:41Speaker 3: Folks?
- 22:42Speaker 2: I had a much I had a much simpler end
- 22:44Speaker 2: of a time. You there, you were, you were a
- 22:46Speaker 2: good You could tell what you were doing on September
- 22:48Speaker 2: to eight, because I suppose you were in the shadow
- 22:50Speaker 2: of the two towers. I couldn't tell you what I
- 22:53Speaker 2: did in two thousand and one up to that day.
- 22:56Speaker 1: That's a fait no, And nor could I only that
- 22:58Speaker 1: it was an I'd say that summer. I couldn't tell
- 23:01Speaker 1: you the following summer what I did, But it was
- 23:05Speaker 1: because that summer was all hinged on that one full
- 23:08Speaker 1: crumb that was September exactly.
- 23:10Speaker 2: You know what I mean, I am. I could just
- 23:13Speaker 2: about tell you I started the Curt like I started
- 23:17Speaker 2: the Curt Girl, and it was the only air of
- 23:19Speaker 2: the doors when I only kind of know that because
- 23:22Speaker 2: after nine to eleven we got like a bank holiday.
- 23:24Speaker 2: People might not remember that with Ireland gave us all
- 23:26Speaker 2: the bank holiday to just chill out. Yes, remember that.
- 23:31Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, what do you have? That?
- 23:33Speaker 2: That was like that was like a date for us.
- 23:35Speaker 2: I was like, what do you have? What are you
- 23:36Speaker 2: off on?
- 23:36Speaker 1: That?
- 23:36Speaker 2: Fright as well? Yeah you want to just like hang
- 23:38Speaker 2: around whatever? That much? I do know. The only thing
- 23:41Speaker 2: I can tell you about September the tenth tom is that.
- 23:45Speaker 2: And I don't know to who, and I don't know
- 23:48Speaker 2: of what, but I absolutely made a big sale of tiles.
- 23:56Speaker 1: All right, the price of tiles right now, I could
- 24:01Speaker 1: do with two thousand and one. But McBride's selling me times.
- 24:03Speaker 1: I can tell you that right now.
- 24:04Speaker 2: That I made a big sale of titles because on
- 24:06Speaker 2: two thousand and one, I was putting that order together
- 24:09Speaker 2: for livery that much. I know, all right, And there's
- 24:14Speaker 2: probably people that are working listen, if they're listening to this,
- 24:17Speaker 2: they're going, like, I fucking sold those You put them together,
- 24:20Speaker 2: You put the order together after I sold it. It's like,
- 24:23Speaker 2: all right, you know, as twenty three years later, let's
- 24:25Speaker 2: not talk about who did or did in'tell late big
- 24:27Speaker 2: time whites here, all right. Yeah, but I was working
- 24:33Speaker 2: as a waitress in a cocktail But I was working
- 24:34Speaker 2: as a go for in a hardware shop, and it
- 24:37Speaker 2: was I remember it was after lunch time. By the
- 24:39Speaker 2: time I'd come back from lunch and we were opening
- 24:41Speaker 2: up the shop again and one of the boys came
- 24:43Speaker 2: there's some customer came in and he said, oh, did
- 24:45Speaker 2: you see what was going on in America? I goes, no,
- 24:47Speaker 2: what's going on? And he says all like this after
- 24:50Speaker 2: a plane crashing into a building and like like a
- 24:52Speaker 2: hijacking sort of the thing. And again like you I thought, oh,
- 24:56Speaker 2: Cessna or some such and he goes no, no, like a
- 24:58Speaker 2: big fucking set was at the time. I goes all,
- 25:01Speaker 2: like a week plan. It goes no, like a like
- 25:02Speaker 2: a jumbo jet And I was like, oh, a jumbo
- 25:05Speaker 2: jet has been hijacked after it took off and it
- 25:07Speaker 2: was crashed into the building, and my brain went they
- 25:10Speaker 2: crashed it into the control tower at the airport. Yeah,
- 25:14Speaker 2: right that that they got it. One was taken off
- 25:16Speaker 2: on the runway and just steered it over into the thing.
- 25:19Speaker 2: And then we turned on the TV in the shop
- 25:20Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, no, okay, oh I see no,
- 25:25Speaker 2: when you see a building you mean that. And I
- 25:29Speaker 2: didn't even know the name that it was the World
- 25:30Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't know that I and you know,
- 25:32Speaker 2: many people would have known that was the World Trade Center.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's quite a statement to make
- 25:38Speaker 1: about anything really like that, there's the World Trade Center.
- 25:40Speaker 2: I was more of an Empire State building kind of guy.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I couldn't name you five out the buildings in it.
- 25:45Speaker 1: It's true, it's true. The Empire State was the one
- 25:47Speaker 1: on my on my to do list. And you see,
- 25:50Speaker 1: like you know what I mean that and the Ghostbusters
- 25:51Speaker 1: Firehouse and you know you've done that too, like you know, yeah,
- 25:55Speaker 1: the things, so we won't we won't dwell too much
- 25:57Speaker 1: on it. And what I'd like to know is people's well,
- 26:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I want it. This one, this one I do want
- 26:02Speaker 2: to say ask. Yeah, was act the grind Right, We
- 26:05Speaker 2: were working away and any any of the customers that
- 26:09Speaker 2: came into the shop with like a little fourteen inch
- 26:11Speaker 2: portable for watching football and whatnot. And I was up
- 26:14Speaker 2: there and we watched the whole thing's unfold and the
- 26:20Speaker 2: boss said to turn it off.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Work Yeah, I mean yeah, it was together.
- 26:27Speaker 2: This tiler order and I remember at the time maybe
- 26:30Speaker 2: it was just like, oh, you know, in hindsight, he
- 26:32Speaker 2: was running a business, so number what it was like,
- 26:34Speaker 2: let's get as much money out peoplesossible, because he wasn't
- 26:36Speaker 2: that kind of gay. But it's something that mine said
- 26:38Speaker 2: to me, like, you know, you know, there's a lot
- 26:41Speaker 2: of people in carac would have had people in New York,
- 26:44Speaker 2: and the last thing they want to do is come
- 26:45Speaker 2: walking in and see maybe the relatives crumbling underneath the
- 26:49Speaker 2: two towers, so I can see that sort of thing.
- 26:51Speaker 2: They turned that off in case someone comes in and
- 26:52Speaker 2: they're upset by it or whatnot. Yeah, yeah, if we're
- 26:54Speaker 2: thinking at the time. But I was down in the
- 26:57Speaker 2: back of the shed putting together eight by ten us.
- 27:00Speaker 2: He's honestly, Tom, the thought occurred to me that this
- 27:03Speaker 2: was the end of the world, that someone was going
- 27:05Speaker 2: to fly a plane into Tyler Batrim Shore and cross
- 27:10Speaker 2: and get me. How it occurred to me, Tom, you
- 27:14Speaker 2: never know. But here I didn't know it wasn't happening
- 27:16Speaker 2: because crush in Pennsylvania and everywhere, it's like every time
- 27:20Speaker 2: you went up to check and sneak the TV on looker,
- 27:22Speaker 2: it's like another plane has gone down.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, you didn't know.
- 27:29Speaker 1: You didn't know, But I wanted to quickly ask you
- 27:31Speaker 1: a question that you will probably know the answer to.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Did they have the in certain movies Film of the time?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Have they cee gi that them out from from the skyline.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I've heard that they have on some movies.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Whimer and you know, we'll get someone throw them up
- 27:50Speaker 2: on the socials. There was a couple that they edited
- 27:53Speaker 2: around them in places. The only one that I remember
- 27:56Speaker 2: was and I haven't here some more Metal Gear Solid
- 27:59Speaker 2: two on the PlayStation right is to come out the
- 28:02Speaker 2: following Easter, and if anybody has played the game, at
- 28:06Speaker 2: the end of it takes place in New York and
- 28:08Speaker 2: like a big spaceship has crashed into New York and
- 28:11Speaker 2: they're having.
- 28:11Speaker 3: A big reroute at it, and.
- 28:15Speaker 2: It was like at the end, it's it's it's it's
- 28:18Speaker 2: really badly edited because you're there like oh no, we're
- 28:20Speaker 2: gonna cry, and then it just it's like cuts. And
- 28:23Speaker 2: then they're fighting in the rubble in New York and
- 28:25Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, I see what you cut out of
- 28:27Speaker 2: that there.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Into that and I just a another bit of movie lower.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I don't know how many of our listeners, but I
- 28:35Speaker 1: assume probably about ninety five percent have seen Escape to
- 28:39Speaker 1: New York. Yes with Snake Pliskin. But if you see
- 28:43Speaker 1: the trajectory plan of what where they to fly the plane,
- 28:47Speaker 1: if you remember correctly, you remember it, ye fly it
- 28:51Speaker 1: into the Twin Towers. I mean sometimes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:00Speaker 2: You're not you're not your Tom. That's the weekly what
- 29:02Speaker 2: have you? Where were you on nine eleven. We're not
- 29:05Speaker 2: accusing anybody of anything. We just want to find out.
- 29:08Speaker 2: But that's enough of that for now. We're going to
- 29:10Speaker 2: move on to the second segment. Okay, Twin Towers, my
- 29:13Speaker 2: lads all together. You know, I'm going to tell you
- 29:17Speaker 2: Tom every week. Now there's a lad that surpasses all
- 29:21Speaker 2: lads and he becomes well known on this podcast as
- 29:25Speaker 2: this lady.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Oh by god, this lad amalgamates into the form of
- 29:33Speaker 1: two lads. Well, you know, lads, I think you could
- 29:35Speaker 1: take take from this. There's a couple of individuals in this.
- 29:39Speaker 1: You could take from this story that you could say
- 29:42Speaker 1: a bit of a hero, a bit of a lege,
- 29:44Speaker 1: gonna have a story for life or so. Essentially, what's
- 29:47Speaker 1: happened is a two lads they were heading up. Two astronauts.
- 29:55Speaker 1: They were heading up by the name of God. What
- 29:59Speaker 1: are their name again? Uh? Were the cosmonauts? They were
- 30:03Speaker 1: cosmonauts I think, and then and then.
- 30:07Speaker 2: It and then showing star liners what they're on.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Yes, sorry, sorry, you're right there. They're on a Boeing
- 30:16Speaker 1: star liner and they were there were russ cosmos.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and and the two of them is
- 30:23Speaker 2: a chap called Butch Wilmore. And that's a that's an
- 30:25Speaker 2: astronaut's name. If everyone wanted to tell you, right, but.
- 30:28Speaker 1: The duo will return with yes, Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I mean, that's too great.
- 30:35Speaker 2: As we have always said, with with this lad, this
- 30:37Speaker 2: lad is any gender or at times any species, races
- 30:41Speaker 2: to believe we've got the building. Be this lad at
- 30:43Speaker 2: one stage or the other. Soon he is is as lady. Yeah,
- 30:48Speaker 2: but don't you call it lady astronaut Tom And that's
- 30:51Speaker 2: an astronaut. But twenty four wake up.
- 30:54Speaker 1: That's actually do you know what there's there's there's a
- 30:56Speaker 1: guy who used to play rugby for New Zealand called
- 30:57Speaker 1: Sonny Bill Williams, which william yes, yes, yes, Sonny Williams
- 31:02Speaker 1: Williams Butch Wilmore. I mean they essentially they went up
- 31:05Speaker 1: on what turned out to be a HAPI shite and
- 31:09Speaker 1: I don't mind saying it. They were heading up to
- 31:10Speaker 1: the International Space Station. They were on going up for
- 31:12Speaker 1: a week in July, and turns out of the twenty
- 31:16Speaker 1: four jets that were basically, you know, little little back
- 31:18Speaker 1: thrusters and little, seven of them went queer. NASA were
- 31:25Speaker 1: able to basically run tests and sort out six of
- 31:28Speaker 1: those seven little thrusters, and they got them docked. But
- 31:33Speaker 1: the problem is that there's one not fully working. There's
- 31:37Speaker 1: a bit of dirt cuttin it. The injector's fucked. They
- 31:40Speaker 1: got it off of heres, blown gray smoke everywhere down
- 31:46Speaker 1: the road. Shame in the life at whoever's you know,
- 31:48Speaker 1: hard start? Oh God, bocklock black clock clock lick. But
- 31:52Speaker 1: the two lads, Sonny and Butch, Jesus, what a couple
- 31:55Speaker 1: of names of people to be stuck brilliant. The plan
- 31:58Speaker 1: was for them to spin around, have a LuxI maybe
- 32:01Speaker 1: I don't know see how worms work in space, but
- 32:06Speaker 1: they've decided a bit too risky back in that shoke. Now.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I don't know they're gonna leave that joke up there, well.
- 32:13Speaker 2: That I don't know. I know they're gonna they're gonna
- 32:15Speaker 2: come home. There's some other scheduled flight in February. So
- 32:18Speaker 2: now they went up for a week and they have
- 32:20Speaker 2: to stay in there until February, and they're gonna get
- 32:22Speaker 2: back on that flight. The craft that touck them up
- 32:25Speaker 2: is that staying up there, they're gonna crash that into
- 32:27Speaker 2: the sun. Who knows, I.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Don't know's it's a SpaceX flight that's jew up in
- 32:33Speaker 1: I suppose to hoots with NASA, and that's due up
- 32:36Speaker 1: in February, and they was to be four four pilots
- 32:39Speaker 1: and four astronauts on that, and both Xena Cardman and
- 32:42Speaker 1: Stephanie Wilson have been bumped and their their uniforms because
- 32:46Speaker 1: their different dvides went up in their NASA one and
- 32:51Speaker 1: they've had to send up two new suits to go
- 32:53Speaker 1: look at. Uh SpaceX once won't fit the NASA. I mean,
- 32:58Speaker 1: it's apple and and over again. Isn't it like we've all.
- 33:02Speaker 2: All we've all gone on holiday and been stranded somewhere
- 33:06Speaker 2: along the way. I remember I got trapped in Malta
- 33:08Speaker 2: when that remember that icelandic ash cloud happened, and.
- 33:10Speaker 3: All the flights were there.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Atteen years ago, I got trapped in Malta for a
- 33:15Speaker 2: full week. And let me tell you one thing, now,
- 33:17Speaker 2: you run out of clean jocks and socks very quick
- 33:20Speaker 2: because you've encounted for a week.
- 33:21Speaker 1: That was exactly my thing. And do you know what
- 33:23Speaker 1: not to not to overregg the New York pudding here?
- 33:26Speaker 1: But I once got stuck, Well, I say, I May
- 33:29Speaker 1: and six other mates got stuck coming back from Vegas
- 33:33Speaker 1: right and our flight was delayed out of Vegas or
- 33:35Speaker 1: connecting flight was going to be three days. Would you
- 33:38Speaker 1: believe we to get and got stuck in And I said, look,
- 33:41Speaker 1: you can stay here in Vegas and after six days
- 33:44Speaker 1: in Vegas you're done with Vegas, like or we can
- 33:47Speaker 1: fly to New York. We're like Jesus, And we weren't.
- 33:51Speaker 1: And it was only when we agreed to go to
- 33:53Speaker 1: New York thing we realized how on it's twenty flight,
- 33:56Speaker 1: the twenty five degrees here and it's minus nineteen in
- 33:59Speaker 1: New York. We've got nothing but t shirts and suntans
- 34:02Speaker 1: and looking good. But thanks beating God. Because all the airport,
- 34:07Speaker 1: the airliners in the world, they promised you the sun,
- 34:09Speaker 1: moon and stars. Don't you worry, We'll look after you.
- 34:11Speaker 1: And what natural people are going to be sleeping in
- 34:13Speaker 1: the airport in JFK for three days, not us, Because
- 34:16Speaker 1: one of the lads was a part of a family
- 34:20Speaker 1: that booked it as a travel agents and they've been
- 34:22Speaker 1: in business a long long time. And a phone call
- 34:25Speaker 1: was made to daddy. Daddy made a phone call to
- 34:27Speaker 1: whoever was running. I don't know what. We got to
- 34:31Speaker 1: New York, got picked up in a limo and brought
- 34:34Speaker 1: brought to the Hilton. Has spent three days in this
- 34:37Speaker 1: penthouse floor which is known as the Presidential Suite, where
- 34:40Speaker 1: you can have a special card in the lift to
- 34:42Speaker 1: go up that last level. There was a there was
- 34:45Speaker 1: a Starbucks coffee machine in my room, just in my room.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Nice, yeah, nice.
- 34:50Speaker 1: And we went out bought all our new gear in Macy's,
- 34:53Speaker 1: all our cold weather gear in Macy's, and we all
- 34:55Speaker 1: got I think I spent two hundred and fifty dollars
- 34:57Speaker 1: getting done up with gloves and Baltic back and yeah,
- 35:03Speaker 1: we got every petty back the airline, whoever it was.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Now that would never happen me by myself. I would
- 35:10Speaker 1: be still in there.
- 35:11Speaker 2: No, no, but it's nice no people.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why you.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Know, people, That's why we That's why we stick around anybody, don't.
- 35:19Speaker 2: I feel we're getting off the subject of so much
- 35:23Speaker 2: stuck up on the International Space Station. Quite frankly, if
- 35:26Speaker 2: you go up to space takes he pays your money.
- 35:28Speaker 2: It takes a chance to I hope you get home safely.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Here's what I want to talk to you about. They're
- 35:35Speaker 2: not having a great time of it today in particular,
- 35:38Speaker 2: which is why they really they've been up there for ages,
- 35:40Speaker 2: but they've only made this LAD this week. They've been
- 35:43Speaker 2: up there for quite some time, and they will be
- 35:44Speaker 2: up there for quite some time. But something fishy happened
- 35:47Speaker 2: this week that really put them into this LAD territory.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Oh no, somebody ship depends. Why do I think that
- 35:54Speaker 1: was that? Why did I go there? But sorry, go
- 35:56Speaker 1: on there, sorry jesus Ah.
- 36:00Speaker 2: They're hearing strange sound.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Christ coming from where outer space.
- 36:08Speaker 2: You see, Tom, the brightest minds in NASA can't figure
- 36:13Speaker 2: that out. They're hearing heartbeat like sounds in spaceship that's
- 36:19Speaker 2: not coming from either of them. And you know it's
- 36:22Speaker 2: not like armageddon style space dementia where you're hearing things
- 36:25Speaker 2: or anything like that, and it's not like event horizon.
- 36:27Speaker 2: I was just thinking, here we go, like, actually it
- 36:30Speaker 2: might actually no, actually, bang on it. It is event horizon.
- 36:35Speaker 2: They're having an event horizon. NASA put the sonar on
- 36:39Speaker 2: it and theone behold the head like and had to
- 36:43Speaker 2: come back and go like, actually, you know what, you
- 36:45Speaker 2: know what, you're not hearing things. There is an eerie
- 36:48Speaker 2: heartbeat coming from somewhere. You're absolutely absolutely spot on right.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's like that's like being you know,
- 36:59Speaker 1: Jules Verned twenty te and leaves under the sea and
- 37:01Speaker 1: some big giant octopus is trying to hump the back
- 37:04Speaker 1: of your ship. There's some big alien with a big
- 37:07Speaker 1: wang trying to absolutely hump the back. Oh no, do
- 37:12Speaker 1: you know what. Look.
- 37:13Speaker 2: I could assures them that there's there's there's nothing to
- 37:19Speaker 2: nothing to worry about. But what they did admit that
- 37:21Speaker 2: the sound sounds like halfway between a pulse and a clang. Well,
- 37:28Speaker 2: I could either tell me if your car was emitting
- 37:31Speaker 2: something that sounded like a pulse or a clang, would
- 37:34Speaker 2: you be comfortable?
- 37:35Speaker 1: Well, do you know what I'd probably think to you,
- 37:38Speaker 1: I'd probably go back a few steps and go, what
- 37:40Speaker 1: cot is here? Yeahs fucking injector on the fucking ship.
- 37:49Speaker 1: That's all it is. Is still taking over. You know,
- 37:51Speaker 1: when you drive a car hardest to get home for
- 37:54Speaker 1: a match or something, and you pull in and you
- 37:56Speaker 1: turn off the engine, which you're still going when it's
- 38:01Speaker 1: rosett you think the thing just hasn't cooled down yet.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I'd give it another week.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Given another way, Well, don't be coming, don't don't be
- 38:10Speaker 2: jumping at every little pulse or clang that your golden
- 38:13Speaker 2: spaceship is making, ring in it on till February literally
- 38:18Speaker 2: shining space.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Open the fucking door, let me out. That's it. I'm
- 38:25Speaker 1: not waiting for some biogo that has just hitched right
- 38:30Speaker 1: on the back of an asteroid and leapt onto our
- 38:33Speaker 1: poral space station and is now, oh God, penetrating some
- 38:40Speaker 1: No Jesus Christ, now listen.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Burners for the best, and we hope that the new No,
- 38:45Speaker 2: that's it socks and jocks that are sent up to
- 38:47Speaker 2: fit them.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Well, that's the.
- 38:48Speaker 1: Space station gone. That's the space station's gone. I'm sorry.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Send the rocket up. That's it. Do away with it,
- 38:53Speaker 1: because if the now doesn't forget it, the thing has
- 38:55Speaker 1: becomes sentient and is now pulsing and has a heartbeat
- 38:58Speaker 1: and a clang. That's it. That's it.
- 39:01Speaker 2: Know what it'd be. You know what it'd be, Butching
- 39:03Speaker 2: and Seria to be looking out the window of the
- 39:05Speaker 2: I s s there go com heared to me. This
- 39:09Speaker 2: could just be meaning look at the earth there? Does
- 39:11Speaker 2: that seem a little further away than it was?
- 39:18Speaker 1: No, you're imagining things. Come on, dinner's ready?
- 39:21Speaker 2: Do you find do you find us being? Do you hear?
- 39:25Speaker 2: Do you hear like a rocket just kind of pushing.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Us further and further out to space?
- 39:29Speaker 2: Is that is something we want to worry about.
- 39:30Speaker 3: That's what it'll be. That's what it'd be.
- 39:32Speaker 1: If they see a raccoon looking at some blue guy
- 39:36Speaker 1: just with a little one that flies through the air,
- 39:38Speaker 1: and that's that's it. It's curtains for my God, the horror.
- 39:42Speaker 2: If you make it back to Art safe and sound,
- 39:44Speaker 2: you're welcome to come on the podcast and tell us
- 39:45Speaker 2: about horrific time.
- 39:46Speaker 1: I want to hear that, I want to hear that's
- 39:49Speaker 1: the country song I want to hear between Sunny and
- 39:53Speaker 1: Butch joke but if ever there was a ninety sitcom now,
- 39:57Speaker 1: I want you to.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Put a big Nashville welcome together with their new song.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I fell in love in space.
- 40:08Speaker 1: As we drifted into the void of a wide expensive.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Tom, I know what it to be.
- 40:15Speaker 3: With their new song.
- 40:16Speaker 2: I went to space for a week and got back
- 40:18Speaker 2: home six months later.
- 40:19Speaker 3: But I only left my dog with the week's were
- 40:22Speaker 3: the dog food.
- 40:24Speaker 1: We got married in space.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hard eerie noises. Notwithstanding that, butching Surrey up there,
- 40:36Speaker 2: I don't have a row.
- 40:38Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, because they.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Have enough to worry about. They need their head in
- 40:42Speaker 2: this wavel if they're going to survive this goddamn thing,
- 40:45Speaker 2: So the last thing they want to do is fall out.
- 40:48Speaker 2: But Tom, that doesn't mean to say that you or
- 40:51Speaker 2: I couldn't have a fallen.
- 40:52Speaker 1: In my attitude, don't stops. It's true. It's true we
- 40:59Speaker 1: have on a regular basis, and I think it's a
- 41:01Speaker 1: healthy thing in a relationship to not always agree on things.
- 41:04Speaker 1: But in the same saying that we've been kind of
- 41:08Speaker 1: poking each other to see what we can get under
- 41:10Speaker 1: each other's skin with and why not. But I would say,
- 41:12Speaker 1: coming together, we could both collectively probably piss off half
- 41:16Speaker 1: our listeners with a row.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Willing anybody that's made it this far past the nine
- 41:24Speaker 2: to eleven segment without getting pissed off, I swear to God.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because we are on the cusp of the
- 41:32Speaker 1: start of the British English Football Premiership.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Yeah started, the started started, gone by Able.
- 41:39Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I mean there's there. It's kind of
- 41:43Speaker 1: the start of a lot of leagues around the world,
- 41:45Speaker 1: of different things, but probably the most famous, money thrown
- 41:48Speaker 1: at us kind of league throughout the world, probably the
- 41:52Speaker 1: biggest followship throughout the world. And I don't know how
- 41:55Speaker 1: I slipped through the cracks because I do like sport,
- 41:58Speaker 1: but by suffered in Jesus, could I less of a
- 42:00Speaker 1: shit about this thing? In fact, to the point that
- 42:03Speaker 1: I'm vehemently against it.
- 42:05Speaker 2: This is this, This is it, Tom. I'm gonna be
- 42:08Speaker 2: for this final segment of like you know, starting around
- 42:11Speaker 2: normally we were out each other, but every now and
- 42:12Speaker 2: then we unite against a comic goal. And I gotta
- 42:14Speaker 2: tell you, whatever it was that anybody ever loved about
- 42:19Speaker 2: association football soccer to our American listeners, in particular, the
- 42:25Speaker 2: Premarier League and the Premier League teams. I'm just gonna
- 42:29Speaker 2: ask you straight out, listeners, why are you still watching this?
- 42:35Speaker 1: Here's the thing I can get. I can kind of
- 42:37Speaker 1: get the soccer thing, right. I can get football because
- 42:40Speaker 1: I used to like fine sport. I used to like
- 42:43Speaker 1: watching football in the nineties, like Roy Kean, Eric Canton.
- 42:47Speaker 1: The day is because it seemed like people were playing
- 42:50Speaker 1: with pride for a team that there and there were
- 42:51Speaker 1: one man team, you know, there were a one club
- 42:54Speaker 1: man they were. They weren't a good money but there
- 42:57Speaker 1: seemed to be There seemed to be a flaw, as
- 43:00Speaker 1: they would say, with the rules a bit in that
- 43:03Speaker 1: you could kind of boot the fucking legs off each other,
- 43:06Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like they could they
- 43:08Speaker 1: were rich. Like you go back and you watch say
- 43:10Speaker 1: An arsenal uh Man United Liverpool United United to say
- 43:15Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety two. Comparatively, you say, oh, well, it's
- 43:18Speaker 1: a bit slower and the skills aren't quite there. Watch
- 43:21Speaker 1: it for the absolute sport of it. They lock lumpside
- 43:25Speaker 1: of each other, they're allowed to shoulder, they're booting their
- 43:28Speaker 1: lads are just you go back to Vinnie Jones era.
- 43:30Speaker 1: He's kicking the fucking back of everybody he can get
- 43:33Speaker 1: a chance to go near. He's caught people.
- 43:35Speaker 2: He didn't have to go that far back. You do,
- 43:38Speaker 2: never go that far back. Just go on to YouTube
- 43:40Speaker 2: anybody here and type the words Roy Keane into the
- 43:43Speaker 2: search bar, just that enter and just watch porst video
- 43:47Speaker 2: that comes up.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was just million people.
- 43:50Speaker 2: But regardless of which, Tom, here's the thing. There aws
- 43:54Speaker 2: was a hint that something wasn't right with football, and
- 43:58Speaker 2: that there was you know, certain teams would get preferential
- 44:02Speaker 2: treatment to other fair gee time for example, those like
- 44:05Speaker 2: you know, always very suspicious that he'd get an extra
- 44:08Speaker 2: five minutes at the end of a game to get
- 44:10Speaker 2: a draw or whatnot. But it was sort of like
- 44:12Speaker 2: an undercurrent and you could ignore it. There was always
- 44:15Speaker 2: Prima Donna players that would roll around on the pitch,
- 44:18Speaker 2: clearly cheating, looking for freezing things like this, And on
- 44:21Speaker 2: any given team there was a couple of players that
- 44:24Speaker 2: were on astronomical money beyond the reckoning immortal men money. Yeah,
- 44:30Speaker 2: but it wasn't enough to poise in the whole team. Well,
- 44:32Speaker 2: I'll tell you, Tom, it fucking is now, Oh my god,
- 44:36Speaker 2: Because there doesn't seem to be a player on a
- 44:38Speaker 2: pitch for less than you know, the price of a
- 44:41Speaker 2: house a week. Yeah, they don't appear to want to
- 44:45Speaker 2: play at all. And there are certain teams that the
- 44:49Speaker 2: film is very much on the scale. For certain teams,
- 44:52Speaker 2: particularly with the video assist referee thing that came in,
- 44:56Speaker 2: it's very much like, yeah, no, that wasn't off side
- 44:58Speaker 2: for that team. When I'm looking at added on the
- 45:00Speaker 2: screen and it clearly was.
- 45:01Speaker 1: This is the thing I was. I was talking with
- 45:03Speaker 1: a guy the other day and he is, you know,
- 45:05Speaker 1: Liverpool to his die and I was kind of but
- 45:07Speaker 1: in the same breadth. The same guy was wearing like
- 45:10Speaker 1: a T shirt that said thirty two Counties Forever. I'm like,
- 45:12Speaker 1: you kind of need to get to your geography and
- 45:15Speaker 1: y but Liverpool is like an Irish extension of it. No, No,
- 45:20Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's a fine place. I've been there.
- 45:23Speaker 1: But the reality is it's it's in England. It's in England.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Would you not, just if you're a real true sport
- 45:30Speaker 1: would you not go up and support I don't know,
- 45:33Speaker 1: it's Cork City or whoever you're into, you know what
- 45:36Speaker 1: I mean. But he wasn't having any of it. He
- 45:39Speaker 1: was kind of giving it loads about Ah, but there's
- 45:40Speaker 1: this guy here. How is soccer not moved with the
- 45:45Speaker 1: times at all? Like rugby and to a lesser extent
- 45:51Speaker 1: our ga sports or to you know, a lesser in
- 45:54Speaker 1: that in recent times they started using the same vaar
- 45:57Speaker 1: thing that tennis has been using since fucking MacEnroe's days,
- 46:02Speaker 1: and little laser down the line, will Jesus Christ you
- 46:05Speaker 1: buy a laser on on wish now for measuring things
- 46:09Speaker 1: for five quid. They use these they brought in. There
- 46:14Speaker 1: was so vehemently against changing rules to make it more interesting,
- 46:18Speaker 1: whereas most sports are always trying to upgrade their rules
- 46:21Speaker 1: to just go. We need more viewership, We need to
- 46:23Speaker 1: make the game faster and more interesting. Right, let's give
- 46:26Speaker 1: more points for this. Let's widen the Jesus Christ. You
- 46:30Speaker 1: could go to a soccer match and nobody's score. Nobody's score.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Spike Milligan had a great phrase. He went to a
- 46:34Speaker 1: match once nobody scored, he went down to the gate
- 46:36Speaker 1: naster for his money back. Fair, absolutely fair.
- 46:40Speaker 2: You know, and and and like I don't mind a
- 46:42Speaker 2: hard fault victory or a hard for our well earned
- 46:45Speaker 2: draw or whatever the hell it might be, Tom, I
- 46:47Speaker 2: can't watch a millionaire roll on the ground like he's
- 46:49Speaker 2: been shot. And and Tom, I watch wrestling where the
- 46:54Speaker 2: millionaires rolling around on the ground leg they been shot.
- 46:58Speaker 2: And I don't my sense You, my sensibilities are not
- 47:01Speaker 2: as offended as I am. When I watch boys like
- 47:04Speaker 2: clearly not hurt, clearly winking at the camera. I'm like,
- 47:08Speaker 2: it's just I can't understand how somebody watches that. It
- 47:12Speaker 2: doesn't put a barstool through TV screen.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Ironically, the chaps that are watching it, for the most part,
- 47:19Speaker 1: will never ever come within a nascess roar of a
- 47:22Speaker 1: million euros or a million pounds, you know what I mean.
- 47:23Speaker 1: When they're watching, they're watching these ludicrously overpaid people. And
- 47:27Speaker 1: that's what That's what I think has ruined the Premiership.
- 47:30Speaker 1: When I enjoyed watching it in primary school and then
- 47:33Speaker 1: as a lesser extending in secondary school, I they didn't
- 47:38Speaker 1: they didn't come across as colossal, untouchable superstars that they
- 47:43Speaker 1: are now, you know.
- 47:45Speaker 2: Because I'll tell you God like yeah, because the same
- 47:49Speaker 2: bodies weren't like preen and and modeling on Instagram.
- 47:52Speaker 1: No, what it was that was when it when it
- 47:55Speaker 1: came in with David Beckham apparently like Keane was having
- 47:58Speaker 1: none of it. He was like, get that ship out
- 47:59Speaker 1: of your hair cut, and Ferguson was the sort that
- 48:02Speaker 1: would go, you're not coming on the bus un as
- 48:03Speaker 1: you've cut that air not having.
- 48:05Speaker 2: And and okay, So all that notwithstanding Tom, and the
- 48:09Speaker 2: fact that the more the Richard teams are clearly buying
- 48:14Speaker 2: victories they're yeah, yeah, yeah, the thumb was on the
- 48:17Speaker 2: scale and a lot of the clubs are run by
- 48:21Speaker 2: dirty money from around the world. Yeah yeah, like they've
- 48:26Speaker 2: got receipts for it. Okay, you take all that out
- 48:30Speaker 2: of it, and what you're left with after the fact
- 48:33Speaker 2: is a sport that nobody seems to enjoy to watch
- 48:36Speaker 2: because it's it's it's it's fallen into this kind of
- 48:39Speaker 2: American football way of view and shipping it. Okay, Tom,
- 48:43Speaker 2: when you were a young lad, okay watching football, did
- 48:47Speaker 2: you ever go back to the playground after the fact
- 48:49Speaker 2: and talk about the assists you see?
- 48:53Speaker 1: Absolutely not? You were you named yourself the player i e.
- 48:57Speaker 1: I'm Peter Schmichael laming goals, you know, Ronnie wheel and
- 49:02Speaker 1: I'm going to do a bicycle kick for Liverpool or whatever.
- 49:05Speaker 1: But you know, the boring shit like you know what
- 49:08Speaker 1: I mean, the boring ship like that.
- 49:09Speaker 2: And the stats and all this kind of thing and
- 49:11Speaker 2: the movements, but this whole thing of like, oh well, o'mnon,
- 49:16Speaker 2: he got a goal and McBride had the assist. Why
- 49:19Speaker 2: are you telling me that? Why are you telling that?
- 49:21Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with nothing? Okay? All that is
- 49:24Speaker 2: is the feedback he into gambling that somebody had that
- 49:26Speaker 2: on an accumulator. Yeah, oh so and so with a goal.
- 49:29Speaker 2: When McBride with a goal and an assist by one
- 49:32Speaker 2: manny and we'll get you another fifty p on top
- 49:34Speaker 2: of a bet? Or is that it is?
- 49:35Speaker 1: That? Is that the assisting is that? Is that actually
- 49:38Speaker 1: factored in?
- 49:39Speaker 2: And that's that's that's when it comes. If you watch
- 49:41Speaker 2: like American football or baseball or anything like that, or
- 49:44Speaker 2: NBA basketball or anything like that, you watch on cut
- 49:48Speaker 2: gems and your man's firing off bets that I couldn't.
- 49:50Speaker 1: I couldn't. I got about twenty minutes in my heart,
- 49:52Speaker 1: give up. I couldn't.
- 49:53Speaker 2: This is too stress up the end of it. And
- 49:55Speaker 2: he's and he's saying like, oh, it's not like all
- 49:58Speaker 2: I want the Celtics to win by three. It's like
- 50:00Speaker 2: the Celtics to win by three with a dunk scored
- 50:02Speaker 2: by this fella and an assist from midfield by this fella.
- 50:06Speaker 2: It's all accumulating bets and that's so, and that, to
- 50:08Speaker 2: me is is what it is over here. It's like, look,
- 50:10Speaker 2: let's just ring money out of the lads in the
- 50:11Speaker 2: pub when they're in the pub. Do you want to
- 50:14Speaker 2: bet on who wins red or blue? But if you
- 50:18Speaker 2: want to make it spicier, who wins by how many goals?
- 50:20Speaker 2: And if you want to see who scores first, you
- 50:22Speaker 2: will throw you another yankee on top of it. And
- 50:25Speaker 2: then okay, whoever scores first, who scores second? And who
- 50:28Speaker 2: assists them? Well, you could be a millionaire for just
- 50:31Speaker 2: a fiver. Why wouldn't you put a five on that?
- 50:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and then lose a fiber and then you're hooked,
- 50:37Speaker 1: and then you're hooking. Yeah, that's it, and that's that's what.
- 50:40Speaker 2: You only lost a fiver, but you could have won
- 50:41Speaker 2: a million. No, you lost a fiver and that to
- 50:45Speaker 2: lose a hell of a that more.
- 50:46Speaker 1: And that's the argument that people when it's continuously put
- 50:50Speaker 1: to g a would you not pay your players, and
- 50:53Speaker 1: they're like, no, because we opened that door once. And
- 50:57Speaker 1: if you're playing inter county anything, you're looked after, all right,
- 51:00Speaker 1: you're looked after all right, you know what I mean?
- 51:04Speaker 1: Life will be good if you if if you work
- 51:07Speaker 1: it right, life will be good. But the players themselves
- 51:10Speaker 1: say the same thing. They have the same kind of
- 51:12Speaker 1: parochial attitude that don't look at the other end of
- 51:16Speaker 1: the spectrum of where money will end up. Before you know,
- 51:19Speaker 1: then you're looking for athletes in Arizona to come over
- 51:24Speaker 1: and play, you know what I mean, and not saying
- 51:25Speaker 1: that you shouldn't be you know, diluting whatever. But at
- 51:28Speaker 1: the same time it becomes a money thing, and money
- 51:32Speaker 1: ruins all sports. That's you know what I mean. If
- 51:34Speaker 1: if let in and if there isn't like I think
- 51:36Speaker 1: they could solve it. They could solve a lot of this.
- 51:39Speaker 1: And I don't know how because they do it in
- 51:40Speaker 1: other sports. If you on the whole league, they put
- 51:44Speaker 1: a cap on what on the overall say you've got
- 51:48Speaker 1: a ten million pound cap. That's what you're allowed to
- 51:51Speaker 1: pay your players for the year.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Use it.
- 51:53Speaker 1: We'll use it wisely. Christ We're gonna have to cut
- 51:56Speaker 1: the thirty lads who are on like there's lads here
- 51:58Speaker 1: who haven't played in five years, who are literally on
- 52:01Speaker 1: the training squad and might get called up if three
- 52:05Speaker 1: other fellows break their fucking leg and they are happy
- 52:08Speaker 1: with that playing no football at all, but probably on five, six,
- 52:12Speaker 1: seven thousand a week.
- 52:13Speaker 2: Just do you know what time? I wouldn't complain. That'll
- 52:16Speaker 2: be exactly what I would want to do.
- 52:17Speaker 1: You know that that I'd be right down for that,
- 52:20Speaker 1: because you know.
- 52:20Speaker 2: I kind of respect them more than to buy on
- 52:22Speaker 2: a million a week rolling around the field like he's
- 52:24Speaker 2: been like he's been shot in the kneecap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 52:27Speaker 2: you know what before but you know before you know,
- 52:30Speaker 2: but I'm gonna stop be there before you start proposing
- 52:32Speaker 2: actual decent solutions to a problem, because that is not
- 52:36Speaker 2: that kind of podcast.
- 52:37Speaker 1: No, it's not. I don't know why I came out
- 52:39Speaker 1: with that. I can only apologize.
- 52:41Speaker 2: Honestly, fuck football. I don't know why anybody watches it anymore.
- 52:44Speaker 2: It's clearly rotten to the core defense will it wasn't
- 52:48Speaker 2: It was a pain in the whole to begin with.
- 52:50Speaker 2: And your favorite team is probably no good either, and
- 52:53Speaker 2: your favorite player is probably about to get arrested from
- 52:56Speaker 2: allegations that he absolutely did. Other than that, enjoy the game.
- 53:00Speaker 1: For me, it's the unattainability of these people. Like most
- 53:05Speaker 1: sports that I would follow. I'm two. You know they
- 53:09Speaker 1: say the seven steps, seven stages away from Kevin Bacon
- 53:12Speaker 1: or whatever. Seven. Yeah, I'm in a phone call right now,
- 53:16Speaker 1: and not because of what I've done, I guess to degree,
- 53:19Speaker 1: But somebody as grunty as me could get directly in
- 53:24Speaker 1: contact with an international or a county player if I
- 53:27Speaker 1: really needed to, I could within within a fortnight, I
- 53:31Speaker 1: could make it happen. To a degree. For whatever reason,
- 53:34Speaker 1: these demigods like young lads are looking at them and
- 53:37Speaker 1: crying like a He just pulls his trousers up one
- 53:41Speaker 1: leg at a time every morning like everybody else. That's
- 53:43Speaker 1: just a bloke. And that's where I think the player
- 53:47Speaker 1: pay cap would be amazing. What you know, when he
- 53:51Speaker 1: introduced oligarchy and money into things from the strange places around.
- 53:56Speaker 2: The world, Tom, you have to cray me in eighty
- 53:59Speaker 2: people every week and sell them one hundred pounds jerseys
- 54:02Speaker 2: and yeah, you know what, when you like football, enjoy it.

- 54:18Speaker 1: What what are the merits of football? What are the
- 54:20Speaker 1: merits of it?
- 54:21Speaker 2: But you know what, what what are you even watching
