- 2:34Speaker 2: opponding the situaluation off yet into what I suppose they're
- 2:38Speaker 2: the world over the summer camps, aren't they?
- 2:40Speaker 1: There more summer camps, Tom, That's what it is. The
- 2:42Speaker 1: kids are on summer holidays, and so be it. With
- 2:45Speaker 1: summer holidays comes summer camps.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah, and there they're going various guys. Is of course
- 2:50Speaker 2: the two day one, the one day one, the week
- 2:53Speaker 2: long one. You know, like there was the Sambasaka in
- 2:55Speaker 2: the nineties and all the rest and what not. There's yeah,
- 2:59Speaker 2: cool camp and there's you know, kids do archery and
- 3:02Speaker 2: they do yeah, whatever they do, you know what I mean,
- 3:04Speaker 2: I don't know. They go on orienteering, what's treasure hunts
- 3:07Speaker 2: and stuff like that. You know, Well, they'll do anything.
- 3:11Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you for a summer camp, okay, Uh,
- 3:16Speaker 1: you can't leave the kids at home all day by themselves. Okay, No,
- 3:19Speaker 1: someone who's gonna call the guards on you?
- 3:20Speaker 2: Right, that's uh, that's it. Yeah, that's absolutely going to happen.
- 3:23Speaker 2: You'd assume it would anyway.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah, And you can't go to work with your parents,
- 3:28Speaker 1: not every day. I remember when I was we sometimes
- 3:30Speaker 1: like I would with with me old man in the
- 3:32Speaker 1: in the uh in the JCB, we drive around the
- 3:35Speaker 1: place and need dig holes and dig foundations and dig
- 3:37Speaker 1: what nuts.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Well that's a health you know. You can see that.
- 3:40Speaker 2: You can see that. And the old JCBs, I don't
- 3:42Speaker 2: know how how far back this was, but the old
- 3:44Speaker 2: older JCBs used to come with a spare.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Seats like seat not these ones. Tom.
- 3:49Speaker 2: You sat like the song on the toolbox. Did you
- 3:51Speaker 2: drive along?
- 3:52Speaker 1: Not? Even you just kind of you just kind of
- 3:53Speaker 1: like held a squat for eight hours a day. You said,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you held like I believe in Korean prisons. They're known
- 3:59Speaker 1: as stress positions.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Asian lads and Slavic leads do love a good squat.
- 4:06Speaker 2: They'll smoke legs like you know. I walked in a
- 4:09Speaker 2: chap who was Brillianto's raised card builder, an Asian chap
- 4:13Speaker 2: over in the Robin Hood of State No. The giant
- 4:16Speaker 2: JFK stayed in Dublin and he used to service me
- 4:19Speaker 2: out care because he was friends with the brother in law.
- 4:20Speaker 2: And I walked in there one day and cars everywhere
- 4:23Speaker 2: inside this huge garage. Couldn't see him for love nor money.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I'm like, where is where? And I walked around there
- 4:31Speaker 2: and there was six Asian LEDs, all smoking pegs having
- 4:33Speaker 2: a chat down on their hunkers. I'm like, why is
- 4:36Speaker 2: how is that comfortable? Mother of God? But that was
- 4:40Speaker 2: that was their jam, and they all chatted to me
- 4:42Speaker 2: from yeah, from the squad. Okay, I'm not genetically built
- 4:47Speaker 2: to do that, but that's okay.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Maybe they were doing it. Maybe they were doing a
- 4:49Speaker 1: squat in summer camp. Regardless of which, Tom, you can't,
- 4:52Speaker 1: you know, you gotta find something for the kids to
- 4:54Speaker 1: do in the summer months. You can't park them in
- 4:56Speaker 1: front of the TV for eight weeks. So we've found
- 4:59Speaker 1: ourselves dropping the kids off. So I'm sure maybe you
- 5:01Speaker 1: have yourself, mere man, might be a little bit young
- 5:03Speaker 1: yet to various camps. And I'll tell you one thing,
- 5:05Speaker 1: just straight out off the battom. You needn't think you're
- 5:10Speaker 1: doing it for convenience, all right, because we were there, like, okay,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you know, we have work to do, we have bits
- 5:16Speaker 1: and pieces to do, but that will be fine because
- 5:18Speaker 1: we'll drop the kids to a summer camp. But they
- 5:21Speaker 1: don't teleport tom. That technology does not exist yet. So
- 5:24Speaker 1: you find yourself at ten o'clock the day having to
- 5:25Speaker 1: drive them out to you know, some industrial estate to
- 5:28Speaker 1: drop them off to do archery in a confer to
- 5:31Speaker 1: the garage or whatever the hell might be, and then
- 5:33Speaker 1: go back at three o'clock to get them again. And
- 5:35Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like I've made work for myself.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I have made work for myself.
- 5:40Speaker 2: What I mean, the name camp is a bit misleading
- 5:43Speaker 2: if that is the scenario, Like you know what I
- 5:44Speaker 2: mean that there's there's no camping going at It's just
- 5:47Speaker 2: a class. No, it's just a class that they're on
- 5:49Speaker 2: like for people too. I mean there's the American notion like,
- 5:52Speaker 2: you know, you send them off to Champion Pajunga, you know,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and they're gone for six weeks and they learn about
- 5:59Speaker 2: shifting and you know, canoeing. You know Crystal Lake, Yeah yeah,
- 6:03Speaker 2: yeah yeah, normally named after some Native American ripoff sound
- 6:07Speaker 2: like with lugs and totem bowls.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And I can I can see that being like an
- 6:12Speaker 1: absolute thing for American parents that want to you know
- 6:17Speaker 1: that mom and pop boat have jobs, have got shipped
- 6:20Speaker 1: to the kids our off school.
- 6:22Speaker 2: My wife used to manage a couple of shops, these
- 6:24Speaker 2: tourist shops in Dublin, the amount of parents from America
- 6:28Speaker 2: our holiday and they were like, oh my god, and
- 6:31Speaker 2: our kids and you go anywhere. They all We parked
- 6:34Speaker 2: them in the camp for six weeks.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And now if you're going to do it, do it right.
- 6:39Speaker 1: That's like drop them off for six weeks, not this
- 6:42Speaker 1: crack of driving doing and and and and I've got
- 6:46Speaker 1: two kid kids Tom And there were weeks there that
- 6:48Speaker 1: they were going to two separate camps. So we were
- 6:50Speaker 1: double dropping and doing double pickups. Like I was like, wonderful,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I've just doubled my taxi load. But the kids loved us,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and that's the main thing, he said with a grimace.
- 6:58Speaker 2: But a true camp in our and a true kind
- 7:00Speaker 2: of our version of champ camp sinki Wanga. A true
- 7:05Speaker 2: version is the month long, twenty to twenty eight days
- 7:08Speaker 2: long trip to a western most likely coastal area of
- 7:15Speaker 2: Ireland from anywhere from Donegall, Mayo, Galway. I don't think
- 7:19Speaker 2: does Clear have one. I know Kerry has loads of
- 7:22Speaker 2: gail talks. Yeah, and then there's a couple of water
- 7:24Speaker 2: for there's more than water for Anyay, for sure. And
- 7:26Speaker 2: there's a few in Cork because I attended the one
- 7:28Speaker 2: in Cork. Yes, where you go?
- 7:31Speaker 1: I attended one in Donegall?
- 7:32Speaker 2: Did you go to Doneygall?
- 7:34Speaker 1: I did?
- 7:34Speaker 2: How did you fare with that?
- 7:36Speaker 1: Irish Well, let's let's let's get into it, Tom, because
- 7:39Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, the gailtalk is the closest we
- 7:42Speaker 1: have in this country, or it was when we were
- 7:43Speaker 1: coming up Anyway to a classic sleep away camp where
- 7:47Speaker 1: you went away for four weeks. Yes, and your parents
- 7:50Speaker 1: had you out of the house for four weeks. I'd
- 7:52Speaker 1: never been out of the house for four days. I
- 7:54Speaker 1: don't think I've been out of the house, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 1: more than a weekend a coast as house or some
- 7:59Speaker 1: such that. On my own fifteen in Doney Goal, you
- 8:03Speaker 1: were probably about the same major Yet I was about fourteen,
- 8:05Speaker 1: sorry fourteen because in the junior.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Start I couldn't find out.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And then you know, let's see how this goes down.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Well, I first and foremost I had the most outful
- 8:17Speaker 2: outlook of all time. The parents asked me if I
- 8:20Speaker 2: wanted to do it, and I went. But my biggest
- 8:25Speaker 2: problem jar was having to having to stop working.
- 8:30Speaker 1: But I mean, this is it. This was costing you
- 8:32Speaker 1: money to it.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Was costing me money to go to this place. And
- 8:35Speaker 2: I actually got what it was is the parents weren't that,
- 8:38Speaker 2: you know, fl hula with money or whatever. But what
- 8:40Speaker 2: I got offered a scholarship through sports to go and
- 8:45Speaker 2: it wasn't g oddly it was martial arts. They went, well,
- 8:47Speaker 2: we don't have any martial artists being sent from the
- 8:50Speaker 2: Greater Tipperary area. Could we have one? And they put
- 8:52Speaker 2: me forward. They're kind of quite high ranking for my age,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and they went all right, let's I'm not really digging it.
- 8:59Speaker 2: I'm not into because for anybody from outside art and
- 9:02Speaker 2: who has gone what it's a wild talk, which I do.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Mosts will not have that accent. But the rules are simple.
- 9:11Speaker 2: It's has not changed in a long time. You're only
- 9:14Speaker 2: allowed to speak Irish. That's it. It's a bunch of
- 9:16Speaker 2: all run around as mad as Larry's emotions and all
- 9:21Speaker 2: sorts of testosterone and easterrogen burst out, puberty burst out
- 9:25Speaker 2: through the top of your head. The games are limited.
- 9:28Speaker 2: It's I did. By the way, Jerry, they asked me
- 9:30Speaker 2: to do zero martial arts whatsoever. Well, but it was
- 9:34Speaker 2: you play, you play Gaelic sports, and that's about it
- 9:40Speaker 2: really as far as I can remember. Well, you swim.
- 9:44Speaker 2: There was a fair bit of swomen.
- 9:45Speaker 1: And don't just count the sheer amount of Irish dancing that.
- 9:50Speaker 2: We at least and only goal oh yeah no, the
- 9:51Speaker 2: kaylee was every single leven work, yeah, and just oodles
- 9:55Speaker 2: of sandwiches. And the way the way it last landed
- 9:59Speaker 2: is the boys were all in dorms on site and
- 10:01Speaker 2: the girls seemed to be all okay in houses in
- 10:05Speaker 2: and you would be under a hard notes woman called
- 10:08Speaker 2: the ben and Tee, which would be the woman the house.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I was going to, That's what I
- 10:12Speaker 1: was going to say, because I don't know what it was.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't a blanket Gael talk rule. But the
- 10:19Speaker 1: one that we were at certainly had no dormitories. So
- 10:21Speaker 1: it wasn't like a sleep away camp or a boarding
- 10:24Speaker 1: school or anything like that, although I understand there are
- 10:27Speaker 1: some Gael talks, but do that.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:30Speaker 1: The one we had was like the houses in the
- 10:32Speaker 1: locality would take you know, one house will put the
- 10:36Speaker 1: hand up and say I'll take six boys, and another
- 10:38Speaker 1: house to put the hand up and say I've got
- 10:39Speaker 1: an extra room upstairs, I'll take eight girls, and so
- 10:41Speaker 1: on and so forth and so backwards. And pretty much
- 10:44Speaker 1: every house in the location in the locality would would
- 10:47Speaker 1: have kids in it. And that was their summer long
- 10:49Speaker 1: and they got handsomely paid for it, and that was
- 10:51Speaker 1: I dare say it turned a lot of wheels in Donegall.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I would imagine that I went down to Bellingeiri is
- 10:57Speaker 2: the name of the area in Westcok. Nice spot. But
- 11:00Speaker 2: they had the dormitories they had, right. But do you
- 11:03Speaker 2: know what happens very quickly, Jara, And this is this
- 11:06Speaker 2: is I'm sure true with every scenario, is no matter
- 11:10Speaker 2: whether it's shaw shark, Redemption Lord of the Flies. Everything
- 11:14Speaker 2: goes furl once you put a bunch of lads. Oh yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 2: everything goes fur. Like we were in there three minutes.
- 11:23Speaker 2: One rule of the roost had to be established, do
- 11:26Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And then scraps had to happen.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you've got your shirt off and
- 11:31Speaker 2: you got your face painted, and you've got a spear,
- 11:33Speaker 2: and you've got all the adults you know, tied up
- 11:35Speaker 2: and no, okay, we didn't go that far.
- 11:37Speaker 1: But well, do you know, you find out a lot,
- 11:40Speaker 1: like you know, like I said, this was my first
- 11:42Speaker 1: time out of the house, and it was the first
- 11:43Speaker 1: time finding out that the world maybe not isn't the
- 11:45Speaker 1: isn't the kind and friendly place. And that's a hard
- 11:48Speaker 1: thing to find out, ask I get because we were
- 11:50Speaker 1: in a house and look at it's thirty years after
- 11:52Speaker 1: the fact. I'm not protecting anybody with a bunch of
- 11:55Speaker 1: ladders from kels. They fucking robbed us.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:00Speaker 1: They robbed every penny I did. Okay, I only had
- 12:03Speaker 1: like a five or five or six pounds robbed off
- 12:05Speaker 1: me at the time, which, like you know, you brought
- 12:08Speaker 1: fifty to do you for the month, Like this is
- 12:10Speaker 1: the kind of thing we're doing. Yeah, but I know
- 12:13Speaker 1: the other lads it was with us were just cleaned
- 12:15Speaker 1: out all together. And fingers fore pointed it at the
- 12:17Speaker 1: end of anybody know who's doing it? Yeah, everybody fucking
- 12:20Speaker 1: knows who's doing it. But like obviously you couldn't squeal
- 12:22Speaker 1: because then you were a squealer.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Had you just put up with it. I was like,
- 12:25Speaker 1: all right, okay.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The stealing started early doors but ended early doors, and
- 12:30Speaker 2: it was a dublin ad. He'd stolen off a few people,
- 12:34Speaker 2: and it turns out he'd put on a great you know,
- 12:37Speaker 2: kind of a you know, he only seen.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Some Academy Award performance.
- 12:40Speaker 2: It was rubbish. It turns out he was, you know,
- 12:43Speaker 2: property forehead of a lad, like you know, he had
- 12:44Speaker 2: the vestigear and ever. But he squared up to me,
- 12:49Speaker 2: and because I accused him as it was you, I
- 12:52Speaker 2: saw you, I saw yeah, And it was, to be fair,
- 12:56Speaker 2: it ended how you would hope it ended. I kicked
- 12:59Speaker 2: seven shape the shit out of him up and down
- 13:01Speaker 2: the dorm, and the lad's just rifled threw his back
- 13:05Speaker 2: and took all their money back and took all the money,
- 13:07Speaker 2: took all their money back, and that was the end
- 13:08Speaker 2: of that. But a lot of practical jokes, like lads
- 13:10Speaker 2: have a bit if you fell asleep first, you know
- 13:13Speaker 2: you were going to get you know, a face of toothpaste,
- 13:16Speaker 2: like and that the moon torse. The teachers took it
- 13:20Speaker 2: so seriously. The next day when somebody was reported, I
- 13:23Speaker 2: remember one guy coming up. He was like a young teacher,
- 13:25Speaker 2: maybe twenty one or thy two, And it sticks in
- 13:29Speaker 2: my memory. This lad had toothpaste stuck all over him.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And the man comes up and goes, hmm, yeah, we'll
- 13:38Speaker 2: have to get to the bottom of his boys. This
- 13:39Speaker 2: is no good. And I swear on my life. He
- 13:43Speaker 2: stuck his finger onto the lad's forehead and then licked
- 13:47Speaker 2: it like you know you'd see old school cops and
- 13:48Speaker 2: looking cocaine, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. He locked him by
- 13:53Speaker 2: carbon minsda. I see, even at fourteen or fifteen, I'm
- 13:59Speaker 2: looking at this gun. It's anybody else seeing this bullshit?
- 14:02Speaker 2: How are you all taking this so seriously? But it
- 14:04Speaker 2: like it was, and then you know what's mad. It's
- 14:07Speaker 2: the rule of the world over Like when you're a
- 14:08Speaker 2: complete wet cloth to the face because you have no
- 14:10Speaker 2: idea what this is like. And there was people that
- 14:13Speaker 2: had gone in groups and they knew each other, and
- 14:15Speaker 2: for me, it seemed like they were all best friends.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I was there for the first two days and I
- 14:21Speaker 2: hated it. I mean, now, I wasn't going ringing homes
- 14:25Speaker 2: crying to Mammy either, but I was like, this is
- 14:26Speaker 2: going to be one bastard of a month.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Hell. But then then you realize, oh, wait, there's loads
- 14:32Speaker 2: of other people that are in the exact set. You know,
- 14:34Speaker 2: almost everybody actually is there and hasn't brought a group
- 14:37Speaker 2: of friends with them. It just seems like one or
- 14:39Speaker 2: two friendly And at first it's like the oh places
- 14:43Speaker 2: best friends and this is shit. But as a transpired,
- 14:47Speaker 2: it was all right.
- 14:48Speaker 1: It was all right. Now I'm gonna tell you. I'm
- 14:50Speaker 1: gonna tell you a couple of things. Tam we weally
- 14:51Speaker 1: just say this went from being a discussion about Gael
- 14:54Speaker 1: talks in general have been like a real sort of
- 14:55Speaker 1: therapy session about how we made it through a month
- 14:58Speaker 1: and time. I'm all right with that, hope. The listeners
- 15:00Speaker 1: of the Tom and Jerry Show, We're all right with
- 15:02Speaker 1: that as well. I went into the gale at the

- 16:23Speaker 3: the making of me fitness wise.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Jesus Christy we I you just said it. There the walking.
- 16:29Speaker 2: There was a thing that was going around at the
- 16:31Speaker 2: time because there's all these trends you know, of stupidity
- 16:34Speaker 2: when you're a child or whatever, like hey, and you
- 16:36Speaker 2: know these urban myths. There was one guy there. I
- 16:40Speaker 2: don't know what he was doing there. I think he
- 16:42Speaker 2: just this tall guy with a beard and his nickname.
- 16:46Speaker 2: He had self imposed his own nickname of Hitler on
- 16:49Speaker 2: himself because he was a mean you know. But like
- 16:52Speaker 2: turns out the guy was just a sixteen seventeen year
- 16:55Speaker 2: old who was shouldn't really have been there, but he
- 16:57Speaker 2: was there, and his parents were actually quite apparently and
- 17:01Speaker 2: you know, this is the whole persona he took on.
- 17:02Speaker 2: But there was this thing, you know, your he wants
- 17:05Speaker 2: killed the dog with his bare hands. No, yeah, no
- 17:08Speaker 2: he didn't. No, he didn't. Guarantee he's in finance right now,
- 17:12Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But there was this there
- 17:14Speaker 2: was this thing going around called the did you ever
- 17:16Speaker 2: hear called the American Dream.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I was just funny you mentioned that.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Tom.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I was just talking about this the other day, and
- 17:22Speaker 1: we couldn't have it. We didn't have a name on it.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Everybody had a different name on it. But this would
- 17:26Speaker 1: be the fainting game.
- 17:28Speaker 2: The fainting game, the fainting game. And I don't have
- 17:33Speaker 2: much more under other than this. This is all I
- 17:35Speaker 2: remember was that nobody see. I don't know what kind
- 17:39Speaker 2: of short ass rib cage I had, but nobody seemed
- 17:41Speaker 2: to be able to do it to me. I could
- 17:44Speaker 2: do it to loads of people, anybody who wanted it.
- 17:46Speaker 1: So take take the people through a Tom. Just for
- 17:48Speaker 1: anybody that's not familiar with the faint game, this is
- 17:50Speaker 1: how fucking do your life was for us.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and this was this was this is what you
- 17:56Speaker 2: know minecraft exactly.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is all in the nineties.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Yeah. Could you get somebody else to faint? To pass out?
- 18:05Speaker 1: Lethal?
- 18:06Speaker 2: When you think about it? So, I can't remember the
- 18:09Speaker 2: actual build up to it, but the whole idea was
- 18:12Speaker 2: you'd standage her back to all kind of arms, arms
- 18:14Speaker 2: up to open up your ribcage, your rib boxes, and
- 18:17Speaker 2: the other person would take the two heels of their
- 18:19Speaker 2: palms and drive them up underneath your rib cage. I
- 18:23Speaker 2: don't know if you did it a bunch of movements,
- 18:24Speaker 2: I can't remember. Did they have a very hit start from.
- 18:28Speaker 1: You'd start from a squad position mechanic right, and you'd
- 18:32Speaker 1: take a load of deep breath sort of like like
- 18:36Speaker 1: until you feel faint, like you know the way if
- 18:38Speaker 1: you're breathing sharpish, and then you stand up and someone
- 18:42Speaker 1: comes along and and and push pushes your rib cage
- 18:45Speaker 1: like like they're trying to push it against the wall,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and and you pass out.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was it. That was it. That was
- 18:53Speaker 2: People would wake up with a medium high from it,
- 18:56Speaker 2: kind of going yeah, man, And I don't know how
- 18:59Speaker 2: much Yeah, man, wasn't it, But.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I wouldn't be a whole pilot. Would just be like
- 19:02Speaker 1: I fell asleep and had yeah, I got knocked Yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 2: And nobody seemed to be able to do it to me.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I don't know that they just know what. But I
- 19:12Speaker 2: did it to many many people for them or whatever,
- 19:15Speaker 2: and it was just this was our level of entertainment.
- 19:18Speaker 2: But the only thing was you think to yourself's almost
- 19:20Speaker 2: like the holidays, you know, you go on holidays and
- 19:22Speaker 2: you meet a couple and you're like, you get on
- 19:24Speaker 2: well with them, You're like yeah, but then you get
- 19:25Speaker 2: back to the real world you're like, we are never
- 19:27Speaker 2: you know. Oh yeah, it was the same thing. It
- 19:30Speaker 2: was like best friends forever with some of the people,
- 19:33Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You get off that bus
- 19:35Speaker 2: back home, wipe that ship from the memory back to me.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Like I even the lads from Kels that Rob was
- 19:43Speaker 1: Uphill and down Dale, I forget their names. Now there's
- 19:45Speaker 1: only one lad out of the whole thing that I
- 19:48Speaker 1: remember his name, and I check every now and then
- 19:50Speaker 1: to see that the show up on face because he
- 19:52Speaker 1: had a real like you know, a name combination that
- 19:55Speaker 1: you don't meet every second day, if you know what
- 19:57Speaker 1: I mean.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Right, he wasn't John Smith, Yeah, than Wolf.
- 20:01Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So every
- 20:03Speaker 1: now and then I'll just see that he show up
- 20:05Speaker 1: on LinkedIn or whatever, and he hasn't, so god knows
- 20:07Speaker 1: if he fell off the face of the earth or
- 20:09Speaker 1: what not.
- 20:10Speaker 2: A pseudon him while he was there, because he was
- 20:12Speaker 2: planning to fucking robing everybody, the bastard.
- 20:15Speaker 1: One thing, We're gonna leave everybody with now Tom about
- 20:18Speaker 1: the Gael Talk Dan, indeed, any of these camps as
- 20:21Speaker 1: young people, this is this is this is the this
- 20:23Speaker 1: is the one thing I will say. This is where
- 20:28Speaker 1: ye had your first shift share leaders at least this
- 20:33Speaker 1: was yeah, forced experience with ah.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Any sort of routing, Yeah, any sort of routing.
- 20:42Speaker 1: You get what they're doing these days, Tom, we were
- 20:45Speaker 1: just like, oh yeah, we got to shift back then.
- 20:46Speaker 1: So Christ knows what they're at today today's youth.
- 20:49Speaker 2: The only thing I'd say is that CCTV has really
- 20:52Speaker 2: you know, come on and leave some bounds like there's
- 20:54Speaker 2: I would imagine the amount of security around scenarios now,
- 20:57Speaker 2: but this I wouldn't. I wouldn't be a boon tour
- 21:01Speaker 2: at a girl Talk now. I wouldn't be because you're
- 21:03Speaker 2: gonna have people identifying as lamp posts. You're gonna have
- 21:06Speaker 2: kids who have gluten problems, like I don't remember somebody,
- 21:10Speaker 2: but Lad's heads just swelled if they had a bit
- 21:12Speaker 2: of an allergy. I'm sure that you got on with it,
- 21:14Speaker 2: like you know, but the amount of loops, the amount
- 21:18Speaker 2: of times you could be sued in that scenario right now,
- 21:21Speaker 2: like they could have your parents could have sued for
- 21:24Speaker 2: them sending you back different than when you left. Do
- 21:26Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 21:27Speaker 1: Because we sent one kid back with a shaved head,
- 21:29Speaker 1: and I don't know how we didn't get sued on
- 21:31Speaker 1: that one. But regardless of that, I do want to
- 21:34Speaker 1: say one thing about my trip to the gail Tuk
- 21:37Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, and one say maybe I don't know
- 21:40Speaker 1: when the kirk Coobain die in count forty year or two. Ah,
- 21:45Speaker 1: I fell in with this lady and god, she was lovely,
- 21:47Speaker 1: but like we had a real sort of pali sort
- 21:49Speaker 1: of palinus, like you know, throughout the whole three weeks
- 21:52Speaker 1: of it, right, And like she was older as well,
- 21:56Speaker 1: she was in forty and I was in sexual, which
- 21:58Speaker 1: to me that was just like not a thing. That's
- 21:59Speaker 1: that's I was like, no, you can't, that's that's clearly
- 22:02Speaker 1: just like a jokey, jokey sort of a thing. Yeah,
- 22:06Speaker 1: And the last night came out along and I went
- 22:08Speaker 1: off with some lassie and she was like real sore
- 22:14Speaker 1: with me and the the original girl that had been
- 22:18Speaker 1: passed with the whole time, and our friends said to me, like,
- 22:20Speaker 1: you know, why did you do that? Didn't know that
- 22:21Speaker 1: she was like, you know, after the whole time for
- 22:24Speaker 1: three four weeks, like you know, and I was like, no,
- 22:27Speaker 1: we were just sort of chatty. We were just passed.
- 22:28Speaker 1: She goes, no, no, no, that's that's not the way.
- 22:31Speaker 1: And forty years later, Tom, thirty years later, I still
- 22:33Speaker 1: feel bad about that.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what you took learnings from that
- 22:37Speaker 2: year you went.
- 22:38Speaker 1: I'd like, I'd like to think Tom No, no, for
- 22:42Speaker 1: for a good ten to fifteen years after that, Tom No.
- 22:46Speaker 1: You know, there have been young ladies, believe it or not,
- 22:48Speaker 1: that might have cast it right my way, And I'd
- 22:50Speaker 1: be like, do you go talking out and then go
- 22:52Speaker 1: on and off? So there's last night, I got nothing. Wait,
- 22:56Speaker 1: what about that one that was talking to you for
- 22:57Speaker 1: an hour? There's no I don't know. I don't know
- 23:00Speaker 1: what happened to horror.
- 23:01Speaker 2: There's a there's a smattering of women around the country
- 23:03Speaker 2: who was still to this day when I was trying
- 23:04Speaker 2: to date this guy, turns out he was gay. I
- 23:06Speaker 2: don't know what it was. He was just he just
- 23:07Speaker 2: would not spot any of my advances. I don't know
- 23:09Speaker 2: what's going around with us, dude, he was, you know,
- 23:12Speaker 2: good power to my hope him and his husband are great,
- 23:14Speaker 2: I'll do it.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like that, only I was like, no, no,
- 23:17Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just waiting around for some fucking strange
- 23:20Speaker 1: lassie that I never met before, despite there only been
- 23:22Speaker 1: one hundred dollars here for three weeks, just to show
- 23:25Speaker 1: up on the last day. Hey, I'm just gonna ignore
- 23:27Speaker 1: you and sit and bugger off.
- 23:29Speaker 2: The overall, the overall purpose of a camp in America
- 23:33Speaker 2: is to, you know, to bring kids out of themselves.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Then they of course have discipline camps, you know, like
- 23:37Speaker 2: boot camps for youngsters has gone mad, and they have
- 23:39Speaker 2: fat camps for kids that are gone fed. The grail
- 23:42Speaker 2: talk is too. I don't know what it is other
- 23:44Speaker 2: than to maybe increase your irishness. And did you increase
- 23:47Speaker 2: your Irish starre? Did you come away a better Gilgore
- 23:50Speaker 2: after the girl talkt.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I absolutely increased my Irishness, but not in the way
- 23:55Speaker 1: they would have intended.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:00Speaker 1: No, it would have been a case of and you
- 24:02Speaker 1: might be the same as well, that we'll send them
- 24:04Speaker 1: to the Gale Duct and they'll learn a bit more Irish,
- 24:07Speaker 1: and they learn a bit more heritage and they'll take
- 24:09Speaker 1: that forward. But no, I became more irish, I became
- 24:11Speaker 1: more bitter. I became like less of a fan of
- 24:15Speaker 1: people from Kels that standard, that standard, and I became
- 24:20Speaker 1: rougher and tough.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I mean probably daily discussions about the
- 24:25Speaker 2: weather were probably only started around then. And now it's
- 24:27Speaker 2: you know, it's par for the course.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. How do you how do you did
- 24:30Speaker 1: you feel yourself getting any more irish coming out of
- 24:33Speaker 1: out of Cork?
- 24:34Speaker 2: I knew damn well that there was a good reason
- 24:36Speaker 2: why my parents had never sent me to dancing, and
- 24:38Speaker 2: I knew by the end of it that they were
- 24:40Speaker 2: one hundred percent fucking right. I had no business anywhere
- 24:43Speaker 2: near that that carry on. I hated it. I was like,
- 24:46Speaker 2: this is this is rubbish. I cannot get them kind
- 24:50Speaker 2: of board of this. I had about seven more extra
- 24:52Speaker 2: words other than that I lost a heap of money
- 24:56Speaker 2: by not working for that month, So that's I was
- 24:58Speaker 2: kind of. I was happy that they happ but a
- 25:00Speaker 2: pull and overall, do you know what I mean?
- 25:03Speaker 1: There you go to there you go, there you go
- 25:05Speaker 1: the Gael Talk. Are any of your kids at the
- 25:07Speaker 1: Gael Talk? Ladies and gentlemen, let us know in the comments.

- 25:35Speaker 1: That's it now, we're just over here.
- 25:37Speaker 2: I don't think they got this farager, to be honest you,
- 25:39Speaker 2: I don't think they got this far.
- 25:42Speaker 1: But regardless of which we're gonna rock and roll, We're
- 25:44Speaker 1: gonna stay with the irishness for our next segment, Tom,
- 25:46Speaker 1: because we have that guys to pick from. As the
- 25:50Speaker 1: regular listeners will know, this next segment is about the
- 25:53Speaker 1: person that stands above and beyond the rest of people
- 25:57Speaker 1: during the week, the person when you're talking about them,
- 25:59Speaker 1: you don't just say ah, yeah, you know, surely, yeah, yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 1: there's this lad and no, no, every now and then
- 26:05Speaker 1: there's this lad.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Now there's that guy. Oh my god, we have this lads,
- 26:11Speaker 2: and we we again kicking this lads out of the
- 26:14Speaker 2: way this week.
- 26:14Speaker 1: So we are. But like we we've we've we've focused
- 26:17Speaker 1: on one and we had to pick one.
- 26:18Speaker 2: So to pick one we had to of course it
- 26:21Speaker 2: is we've been skirting or again another thing, we've been
- 26:25Speaker 2: skirting around the Olympics. I like to have pronounce it
- 26:28Speaker 2: with the apossibly Olympics. Olympics.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Well, in the time we had to. We had to
- 26:33Speaker 1: wait to make sure we were going to win something
- 26:34Speaker 1: and not make sure of ourselves. So we're giving it
- 26:36Speaker 1: the big I yam a week ago to all we
- 26:37Speaker 1: were going to do and then do nothing.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I know, I know, And that was the that was
- 26:41Speaker 2: the kind of fears that, oh Jesus Christ, please, we
- 26:44Speaker 2: want to talk about the Olympics, but give us somebody,
- 26:46Speaker 2: give us somebody. And jeez, we've gotten a few were
- 26:50Speaker 2: mentioned to the few that that, but we won't we
- 26:52Speaker 2: won't get into the few because we've we've kind of
- 26:54Speaker 2: done it in the past before. We have for the
- 26:56Speaker 2: first time ever. And I to be honest with you,
- 26:59Speaker 2: this sport absolutely passed me by. I don't I didn't.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I didn't know this was the thing. Yeah, we'll get
- 27:06Speaker 1: into it. We'll get into it now, it's not it's
- 27:08Speaker 1: not laser radial or anything like that. This week's this
- 27:11Speaker 1: lad is Ireland's first ever Olympic gymnast Tom Reese McLanahan.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Rees, I mean hats off to the bike, like when
- 27:21Speaker 2: when nobody has laid the track before you. We always
- 27:23Speaker 2: done well with the horses. Yes, we've done well with
- 27:26Speaker 2: the rowan. Yes, we've done well with the swommen.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Do you know terms and conditions to play time?
- 27:32Speaker 2: Yes, the winds and wind if you asked me, you know,
- 27:36Speaker 2: you know, it's just all figurative after that. But as
- 27:37Speaker 2: we've done well at the swomen, we've always.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Done well at this women. Just because that lady got
- 27:42Speaker 1: her urine tested after the fact and it found that
- 27:44Speaker 1: it was a naggin of whiskey poured into it. She
- 27:47Speaker 1: could have just had a hard one the night before. Tom,
- 27:48Speaker 1: we've all been there.
- 27:49Speaker 2: But the and the boxing we've always been. Yes, you
- 27:54Speaker 2: know we've had we've we have held our own, we've
- 27:57Speaker 2: we've probably punched above our weight for the want of
- 27:59Speaker 2: a better, but we have in a box and we've
- 28:01Speaker 2: always been good at the boxing. But because here's the
- 28:04Speaker 2: thing there, you look where you grew up where you are.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Now you look out, there's no no distance to get
- 28:10Speaker 2: to a boxing club. You'll find a horse anywhere there's
- 28:13Speaker 2: two of the baskets. Over that edge, there's water to
- 28:16Speaker 2: row in. You'll see canoes on cars. You know what
- 28:18Speaker 2: I mean. You know I have a nephew who rose
- 28:20Speaker 2: right there. It's not that that bizarre shwimming. Jesus' is
- 28:26Speaker 2: a pool in every town, right, gymnastics by Jesus, like
- 28:30Speaker 2: it's almost up there. It's not as wild as would say. Fencing,
- 28:34Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And five fence I don't mean,
- 28:36Speaker 2: although I can I tell you a quick one. This
- 28:38Speaker 2: will tell you tell the difference in rare and right.
- 28:42Speaker 2: We were walking through Dublin City Center one day, myself
- 28:44Speaker 2: and my wife, and there was this wrought iron fence,
- 28:49Speaker 2: new but wrought, nicely made new rot iron fence wrapped
- 28:52Speaker 2: around this house up near St Patrick's Cathedral, and a
- 28:55Speaker 2: little sign on its saying, let's say McBride's fencing got
- 29:00Speaker 2: a pride and place. It's nice. Little plaque on U
- 29:02Speaker 2: saying she went, oh, just blinked in her head. She went,
- 29:07Speaker 2: and it was such a good plaque. It looked like
- 29:08Speaker 2: it was part of you know, it was the home
- 29:10Speaker 2: offices of this building and maybe it was maybe that
- 29:13Speaker 2: was McBride's fencing and her immediate mind went, there's very
- 29:18Speaker 2: small building for a fencing club. I went what she went? Now, sorry, sorry, sorry.
- 29:24Speaker 1: But that's when the uh, that's when the Perfect Strangers
- 29:27Speaker 1: theme song starts playing in your head.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Town literally because her brother fenced. But like if you
- 29:32Speaker 2: handed him a mallet or getting a couple of posts,
- 29:35Speaker 2: he'd fucking eat him before he'd know what to do
- 29:37Speaker 2: with the things. Like so again, but yeah, I.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Mean, like here's the thing, that's what we can do
- 29:44Speaker 1: and what we.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Can't do, And yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Do you know we had a couple of swimming medals
- 29:50Speaker 1: there as well, and we there, I dare say, by
- 29:52Speaker 1: the time you people listen to this podcast, we might
- 29:54Speaker 1: have done all right in the box and as well
- 29:56Speaker 1: term the conditions a play there, we'll go going well
- 30:00Speaker 1: in the box and hopefully we.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Did well with the with the boys rowing again, so
- 30:04Speaker 2: we've done well.
- 30:06Speaker 1: We're doing well. But we're we're featuring young young Reeves
- 30:08Speaker 1: here now because he is the first person to ever
- 30:11Speaker 1: win gymnastics and he won on the pommel horse. As
- 30:16Speaker 1: Tom said, there Now, I've never seen a pommel.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Horse in real lifetime. I saw one, would you believe it?
- 30:23Speaker 2: And we had a We had very lucky. We were
- 30:26Speaker 2: in partnership, our schools in partnership with a local. When
- 30:29Speaker 2: I say locally, it was literally across the field, a
- 30:31Speaker 2: local sports complex. So we had huge sporting facilities. What
- 30:38Speaker 2: I remember I was going in for you know, the
- 30:40Speaker 2: back of balls or whatever we were doing one day
- 30:41Speaker 2: and it was like, guy, man, he's going to get
- 30:43Speaker 2: them back. And I go and there was a pommel
- 30:45Speaker 2: horse way on the back and this thing looked like
- 30:48Speaker 2: the last fella up on. It had a curly mustache
- 30:50Speaker 2: and a stripey bathing suit.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Kind of yeah yeah yea, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- 30:54Speaker 2: And brill Cream Center Center party was like what what
- 30:58Speaker 2: hello here? We are do with the paul It will
- 31:00Speaker 2: strengthen me a bounds and you know, and that's how old,
- 31:05Speaker 2: you know, it looked old as ship. It was like
- 31:08Speaker 2: what what? How was that thing? Can we have that?
- 31:10Speaker 2: It was like, no, it's full of horse hair and
- 31:13Speaker 2: stuff and it'll probably kill you. It's probably made it
- 31:15Speaker 2: a bestest time.
- 31:15Speaker 1: It's made of his best as in our school, in
- 31:17Speaker 1: our secondary school, and it was like it was one
- 31:19Speaker 1: of the things that made me pick that school that
- 31:21Speaker 1: the too that were open to me in Carton Cross
- 31:24Speaker 1: at the time when they gave you the tour of us,
- 31:27Speaker 1: they gave you the tour of the gym and it
- 31:29Speaker 1: was like a basketball court, but it had gymnastics equipment
- 31:33Speaker 1: in it. Like and in the five years I was
- 31:36Speaker 1: at that school, they never let us use it. They
- 31:39Speaker 1: never took it out. But I dare say it was
- 31:44Speaker 1: like an insurance thing, or maybe they just knew we
- 31:46Speaker 1: were wee goms and all we wanted to do is
- 31:48Speaker 1: swing on the rope, so they never let us do it.
- 31:50Speaker 1: To never let us do it, so that this again, Reese,
- 31:54Speaker 1: you find a school that would train you in gymnastics
- 31:57Speaker 1: and you stuck at it.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. When I started to wonder where
- 32:01Speaker 2: Reets went to school, and it was in County Down,
- 32:05Speaker 2: County Down, and that's maybe where you'd find a good
- 32:09Speaker 2: gymnastics program.
- 32:11Speaker 1: I got up the North and maybe in maybe it's
- 32:14Speaker 1: something that came across from the disputed territories. So maybe
- 32:19Speaker 1: it's something that came across from Great Britain from the mainland,
- 32:22Speaker 1: as they would say, as some might say to.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Well, Reese would is given that he's signed for the
- 32:26Speaker 2: Green and White Gold, like you know what I mean?
- 32:28Speaker 1: Yes, but like he he he, he earned his skills
- 32:31Speaker 1: on Her Majesty's pommel horse.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. This is this We're supposed to be a
- 32:38Speaker 2: good correct price. Looks like we're how would you say,
- 32:41Speaker 2: tarry movement?
- 32:42Speaker 3: Now?
- 32:42Speaker 2: Is that's what I'm just saying.
- 32:43Speaker 1: No, what I'm saying he worked out. I'm saying fair
- 32:45Speaker 1: play to him, like you know, he he he earned
- 32:48Speaker 1: his moves under the Queen's shilling and then he came
- 32:51Speaker 1: down and won a gold for Ireland.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Good man. Yeah, yeah, that's even better as even.
- 32:56Speaker 1: You know, perfect nice can't build on that all right?
- 33:00Speaker 1: Uh have you thoughts on the matter, let us know
- 33:02Speaker 1: in the comments. Uh, come, here's what it is, right.
- 33:07Speaker 1: I've never been on a Pomela horse in my life.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah okay, And I can't fight the feeling that I
- 33:14Speaker 1: would have been really good.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Do you know what?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Now, after I came home from the gael Talk, not
- 33:20Speaker 1: before I went, when I was a week a wet tube,
- 33:22Speaker 1: but when I came home and I was like strong
- 33:24Speaker 1: and lean from fighting munchies the whole time. I never No,
- 33:29Speaker 1: I didn't fight any of the monkeys. They were the local,
- 33:31Speaker 1: the local, hardy lads. Yeah, I don't fight the munchies.
- 33:37Speaker 3: No.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Well, clearly you didn't fight. You fought the monkeys because
- 33:39Speaker 2: you came back super skinny.
- 33:40Speaker 1: So you know, I talk a good game about fighting
- 33:42Speaker 1: the monkeys, but I did not fight the munchies. Yeah,
- 33:45Speaker 1: they would kill you regardless of which. Ah yeah, just yeah.
- 33:51Speaker 1: And that's not me saying now tom that. Oh yeah, no, sure,
- 33:54Speaker 1: that's not hard. Anybody could do that. No, you see
- 33:56Speaker 1: the thing with the rings where you do the rings
- 33:58Speaker 1: and rings and.
- 34:00Speaker 2: No shoulder.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Shoulders like Richter in total recall because just arms gone right, yeah,
- 34:11Speaker 1: ye at the party right, the running and and and
- 34:15Speaker 1: hitting the vault and doing the somersault snow, forget about it.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Shared knees going to blow out a kneb shin all that.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Yeah, And I understand. Maybe it's just the ladies that
- 34:23Speaker 1: do the balance beam where they do tumble the wild.
- 34:26Speaker 2: No, let's do that. Let's do as well. And I
- 34:29Speaker 2: look just look out, look it up on Instagram. Multile
- 34:32Speaker 2: fields and a balance being for and then it's all
- 34:34Speaker 2: the lads, and it's all the hook, green outscrunch. Every
- 34:36Speaker 2: single one is just like swing swing, swing, bang, crack,
- 34:39Speaker 2: two nuts downside of it. And that's that terrified.
- 34:43Speaker 1: No so balance, beam, vaults, rings, parallel bars, any of that. No, no, no,
- 34:49Speaker 1: I would that's instant death for me. Pommelhorse Tom, I
- 34:55Speaker 1: dare say, if I hadn't been let at it back
- 34:56Speaker 1: in the day, I might have been all right that.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I think. I wonder the more that I think we're
- 35:02Speaker 2: kind of built similar in that we would kind of
- 35:03Speaker 2: be stocky built, and that's possibly what you need. I
- 35:06Speaker 2: think a real lightfellow might choose something different. But I
- 35:09Speaker 2: think if you're kind of stocky built for me, in
- 35:12Speaker 2: my head, I was like I leapt over loads of
- 35:14Speaker 2: fences and done a bit of a shpin as well
- 35:16Speaker 2: while I'm doing it for the crack. So I feel
- 35:18Speaker 2: that it was always it was in there. I don't
- 35:20Speaker 2: know how I do with the tidy trousers things, you
- 35:22Speaker 2: know what I mean, where.
- 35:23Speaker 1: They actually i'd make it work done?
- 35:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you would, you would, in fairness, but it did.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Just there's no socks, there's no holes in the injury,
- 35:31Speaker 2: there's not. That's the one. It always stuck out to me.
- 35:34Speaker 2: It's like, should what's the man doing trousers? Daughter? Live
- 35:36Speaker 2: me in a pair of shorts? Like, what's this fucking
- 35:38Speaker 2: thing about? Like, but I wonder what the injury? You know,
- 35:42Speaker 2: every sport has his injuries, no matter what. If it's chase,
- 35:45Speaker 2: you'll get an injury. So what's the injury from Papa Horse? Like,
- 35:48Speaker 2: it's not gonna be It's not gonna be the bollocks
- 35:51Speaker 2: because you're always swinging your grind away from the thing.
- 35:54Speaker 2: But you're probably gonna do what your like, one arm
- 35:58Speaker 2: is gonna give a way and I reckon the funny
- 36:00Speaker 2: bone gets clatter at some amount, you know, just dropping
- 36:03Speaker 2: down on one elbow.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I'd say this the faces hit of the horse a
- 36:07Speaker 2: few times, do you know what I mean?
- 36:09Speaker 1: As well as that, Like, yeah, i'd have to say
- 36:11Speaker 1: and that it might be what's in your should of
- 36:13Speaker 1: rod hater cuff, that's the thing.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Yeah, road yeah, yeah, yeah as well. Yeah, you'd probably
- 36:17Speaker 2: suck that up.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Yeah, from the waist down. You'll be all right now
- 36:20Speaker 1: and and and here's the thing as well, I'm not
- 36:22Speaker 1: for nothing with the pommel horse. Correct me if I'm wrong,
- 36:25Speaker 1: But you've seen all the fails for the balance beam
- 36:28Speaker 1: and for the rings and all this kind of crack. Yeah,
- 36:32Speaker 1: are going to fall off a pommel horse. And indeed
- 36:33Speaker 1: the story of young Reese there as well was I
- 36:35Speaker 1: believe that in the last Olympics, which was in Tokyo.
- 36:37Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, he was close to a medal,
- 36:40Speaker 1: but he dismounted ungracefully or got knocked off or fell
- 36:43Speaker 1: off or whatnot. I tackled I don't know, and fell
- 36:47Speaker 1: off and lost the medals on account of it. So
- 36:51Speaker 1: it does happen, but it's nothing you're not just gonna
- 36:53Speaker 1: shrug and walk away from. Unless I'm being very flippant
- 36:55Speaker 1: about it. Maybe you do like face plan on gracefully.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Maybe they've been boys killed off these pommel horse sports.
- 37:00Speaker 2: I doubt it the only way I could.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not seeing it.
- 37:04Speaker 2: It's kind of it's one of those old school ones
- 37:07Speaker 2: that hasn't I guess the moves are so fine that
- 37:11Speaker 2: we probably we're not. We don't know what we're looking at.
- 37:13Speaker 2: We're going, I don't know, we don't know what we're
- 37:16Speaker 2: looking at. We're going. Oh, Jesus Christy pulled off the
- 37:18Speaker 2: three Cecy Merlin there You're like, oh, but you would
- 37:22Speaker 2: see the other ones have really changed, you know in
- 37:25Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies. Yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, oh well done
- 37:28Speaker 2: that man. Absolutely, he just landed and you're the gold medal.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Like really, now you're looking at people and they literally
- 37:35Speaker 2: look like bionic something that you know, Boston mccannicudn't be done,
- 37:39Speaker 2: Like you're going this looks you look superhuman doing what
- 37:42Speaker 2: you're doing. But I wonder will the Palmel horse get
- 37:45Speaker 2: to a point where you're like, we'll put the fuck
- 37:47Speaker 2: around the springs? Oh? How you deal with that? Like
- 37:49Speaker 2: where does the Palmel horse go from here? You know what?
- 37:53Speaker 2: What ups the game for the Palmel horse where there's
- 37:56Speaker 2: only maybe one handle, like.
- 37:57Speaker 1: It's going to do anything time? I hate, I hate
- 38:00Speaker 1: to say we've only got one trick to our pony.
- 38:02Speaker 1: But you have to let it on fire, wouldn't you?
- 38:04Speaker 2: You? Right? Well, what does a fellow do with the
- 38:08Speaker 2: skills of pommel horse? And do you know across the
- 38:13Speaker 2: oak you could look at pro wrestling at some stage
- 38:15Speaker 2: you could be the next Ray Mysterio, Like you know
- 38:17Speaker 2: what I mean?
- 38:17Speaker 1: But why don't you be if you're if you're good
- 38:20Speaker 1: at the pommel horse, here's what you do. You your
- 38:23Speaker 1: vault walls and everyone says you're cool, So you don't
- 38:25Speaker 1: if you walk up to somebody's house, instead of walking
- 38:28Speaker 1: through the gap into the driveway, you just put one
- 38:30Speaker 1: hand on the wall and just throw your legs.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Over like god less at the same time, yeah, but
- 38:35Speaker 2: he would be class. Do you know what I mean?
- 38:37Speaker 1: There's no I don't know that you're gonna earn a
- 38:38Speaker 1: living doing not one particular thing.
- 38:41Speaker 2: Hey do you know what I mean?
- 38:42Speaker 1: And lost money doing less time?
- 38:44Speaker 2: Image is everything, Jared, Like if you if he walks
- 38:47Speaker 2: up and he's selling you something like you know, once
- 38:49Speaker 2: you change up your energy provider, but he flips over
- 38:51Speaker 2: your gaze.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, if he if he if he lands
- 38:55Speaker 1: up and he says, okay, I want to talk to
- 38:56Speaker 1: you now about switching your broadband, and while he does it,
- 38:58Speaker 1: he's just on the pier doing Perrouettes. All right, check on?
- 39:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, can we talk? Can I talk to about
- 39:03Speaker 2: the Lord and Saber Jesus Christ? You're like, yeah, yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 2: you can actually in that position, absolutely, Yeah, go on,
- 39:09Speaker 2: let's hear it.
- 39:10Speaker 1: There you go, re clan, and we hope you enjoyed
- 39:13Speaker 1: your Olympic glory before two gums. You can't stand up.

- 39:19Speaker 2: this or anybody belonging to Hey, if you can please
- 39:22Speaker 2: explain a bit more, maybe give us a couple of
- 39:24Speaker 2: the moves from the pommel horse. Did you have a
- 39:26Speaker 2: Pomerl horse in your school? Really allowed on it, but
- 39:29Speaker 2: i'd loved I'd love we got some info on it
- 39:31Speaker 2: your because I'm looking at and I don't Again, It's
- 39:35Speaker 2: like I don't know what I'm looking at. I'd love
- 39:37Speaker 2: to know now, especially because you know when wimbleding comes on,
- 39:40Speaker 2: like we've never had a tennis champion, but kids go
- 39:42Speaker 2: out and they play tennis, you know, out in the
- 39:44Speaker 2: yard or what if you're lucky enough to have a
- 39:46Speaker 2: tarmac yard. Do you know when you know, when the
- 39:50Speaker 2: racing comes on, people start talking about horse raising. When
- 39:52Speaker 2: the World Cup comes on, kids are kicking football stuff.
- 39:55Speaker 2: When the pommel horse comes on, what's happening? Like, like, yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 2: walk me through it, you know, tell us.
- 40:03Speaker 1: I will say, I will say one thing, Tom, I
- 40:05Speaker 1: will say one thing. Is the last thing I'm gonna
- 40:07Speaker 1: say on the subject. Okay, young Reese cut up and
- 40:09Speaker 1: he's done his thing, and he was in first place,
- 40:11Speaker 1: and there was five people to come after him, right,
- 40:14Speaker 1: so he was going to after the first two, you
- 40:16Speaker 1: knew he was going to get a medal, yes, right, yeah,
- 40:19Speaker 1: And there was another two and it was like, Okay,
- 40:22Speaker 1: this last fella is the only fella that can knock
- 40:24Speaker 1: him off gold. Okay, so you're gonna go home with
- 40:26Speaker 1: a medal one way or another. He's in gold position
- 40:28Speaker 1: right now. This last lad, he's the last lad that
- 40:33Speaker 1: can possibly beat him. And the last lad get up
- 40:36Speaker 1: to do his spinning for his medal and he fell
- 40:40Speaker 1: off halfway through it. I'm not proud of this, Tom,
- 40:45Speaker 1: but I went.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, pressure got yeah, no, no, no.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Not nice to cheer someone's failure. But at the same time,
- 40:54Speaker 1: I cultn't hold it, and I was like yeah, yeah,
- 40:55Speaker 1: by yeah.
- 40:56Speaker 2: But you know what, it's the same time. If if
- 40:59Speaker 2: you're in that guy's vision, if you've you know what
- 41:01Speaker 2: I mean, if you if you've got the soul of concrete,
- 41:04Speaker 2: you know what you have to do to beat him.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Reese had to lay down. He had to lay lay
- 41:10Speaker 2: the smack of down early doors. Do you know he
- 41:13Speaker 2: had to bang it so hard that he's like, now,
- 41:16Speaker 2: follow that, bitch, do you know what I mean? I
- 41:18Speaker 2: hope he said that all five followed, Follow that, bitches,
- 41:22Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? And just went to
- 41:24Speaker 2: shake hands and then shlipped up the side of his hair.
- 41:27Speaker 2: That was grand and it was great, and he did
- 41:29Speaker 2: he laid laid it down so hard that the next
- 41:32Speaker 2: five couldn't come in with the nast row. And the
- 41:34Speaker 2: last guy, the pressure got so watched him he slipped
- 41:37Speaker 2: slipped off the horse.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, but like that's you know, young, young,
- 41:41Speaker 1: young rece. He did the same thing four years ago
- 41:43Speaker 1: in Tokyo. So I try again four years get a
- 41:46Speaker 1: gold medal, have your own story regardless of which.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Wins wind Yard.
- 41:50Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. You cannot argue with the fact
- 41:53Speaker 1: that winners win. You cannot have a row with the
- 41:55Speaker 1: fact that winners win. You just can't. Undisputable.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Uh.
- 41:59Speaker 1: And we that being said, you may not have a
- 42:02Speaker 1: row about that. Maybe there's something we can have a
- 42:05Speaker 1: row about.
- 42:06Speaker 2: My head two days don't stop. I think there is
- 42:13Speaker 2: the It came to me and I messaged you about
- 42:15Speaker 2: it because in a brief period of I suppose freedom,
- 42:21Speaker 2: I had to step back. There was plumbers gone in.
- 42:23Speaker 2: I had to step back away from that. So there's
- 42:25Speaker 2: no work being done in the house for a couple
- 42:26Speaker 2: of hours yesterday, and we found ourselves going to a
- 42:31Speaker 2: local carboot sale for the crack.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Carboot sale. Go go talk to me, Tom for what.
- 42:37Speaker 2: I don't know. But you know you don't know what
- 42:39Speaker 2: you wanted the carboot sale. You want to be surprised.
- 42:41Speaker 2: You might see something. Go Jesus, look at that. That's
- 42:43Speaker 2: a set of antlers from yes the forest in Brittany.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Let's get that for the house for the crack and
- 42:48Speaker 2: if nothing else can go on the outshaite. Do you
- 42:50Speaker 2: know it looks cool?
- 42:52Speaker 1: I remember your house correctly, Tom, You badly needed more antlers, all.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Right, there's never enough ventures in your house. There's not.
- 43:01Speaker 2: And before anybody starts going, they drop off. They drop off.
- 43:05Speaker 2: You can go and find them. You go walking in
- 43:07Speaker 2: the forest right now, you'll find them.
- 43:08Speaker 1: You should have here. They follow right off that pastor that's.
- 43:11Speaker 2: The only thing. Yeah, you can go and get them
- 43:13Speaker 2: yourself if you want, right after right off the head.
- 43:17Speaker 1: But Tom carraboot sales. So tell me about it now, okay,
- 43:21Speaker 1: And we're going to get into carboots, sailory and the
- 43:24Speaker 1: the the goodness and and merit of the same because
- 43:28Speaker 1: it might surprise you, Tom, But I have thoughts on
- 43:30Speaker 1: the matter. Okay. So I want to know the nature
- 43:33Speaker 1: of the car boot sale you went to?
- 43:36Speaker 2: Please the it was, it's it's renowned, it's a monthly one.
- 43:41Speaker 2: It's a renowned one. We went to it, and I'm
- 43:43Speaker 2: not going to say where it was because my view
- 43:45Speaker 2: on it was unfortunately shit, I mean gone to dad
- 43:51Speaker 2: dogs like you to talk to.
- 43:53Speaker 1: Me, Tom. Now you see here's where I'm going to
- 43:55Speaker 1: come into it. Okay. There's things that you couldn't drag
- 43:58Speaker 1: me to, all right right now, but there's things that
- 44:02Speaker 1: I would love.
- 44:03Speaker 2: To go to, yes, yeah, okay.
- 44:05Speaker 1: And there's there's like a gray area here when people

- 45:54Speaker 2: I hate to say, come on, why is it our if?
- 45:57Speaker 1: If if we're going to a market and we expect
- 46:01Speaker 1: if car boot sale, but we get market, that's kind
- 46:03Speaker 1: of a us because I know there are there are
- 46:05Speaker 1: markets here in Dublin where it's like of a Sunday

- 46:45Speaker 1: another thing as well, which is a conventions. I've been
- 46:48Speaker 1: to a couple of these once here where it might
- 46:49Speaker 1: be like a comic convention or a game and convention
- 46:52Speaker 1: where you go in to wander around and installed there
- 46:55Speaker 1: and people are selling you know again, art music, things
- 46:59Speaker 1: they made, okay, or things they've had a hand in writing,

- 47:13Speaker 2: about anyway?
- 47:14Speaker 1: You know, these these are all fine, okay, But when
- 47:17Speaker 1: you tell me that there's a car boot sale, what
- 47:21Speaker 1: I want is stuff being sold out of the boot
- 47:25Speaker 1: of the car.
- 47:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Not stuff that you bought on drop ship in the
- 47:31Speaker 1: call that you bought it real cheap and you shipped
- 47:34Speaker 1: it over here and you're selling you know cat, No,
- 47:38Speaker 1: that'ses and things like that.
- 47:40Speaker 2: That was the rubbish that I was seeing. And I'm like,

- 47:46Speaker 2: four BMW? Where are detractor seats out of a messy
- 47:49Speaker 2: thirty five right, where are Oh you've got you know

- 47:58Speaker 2: got a tower drill from the turf, these that you're selling,
- 48:00Speaker 2: right mighty.
- 48:02Speaker 1: And and and like for me, I would go to
- 48:05Speaker 1: it and it would be someone that was cleaning out
- 48:07Speaker 1: the house and put all in the van and put
- 48:09Speaker 1: all in the car and talk to it and you
- 48:11Speaker 1: open a box and go, what's this odd? The gas
- 48:14Speaker 1: and moved out of house twenty years ago? He left
- 48:16Speaker 1: that there. And it's like a new in box Nintendo
- 48:19Speaker 1: sixty four, yeah, or a new inbox PlayStation with a
- 48:22Speaker 1: one hundred games with how much do you want for this?
- 48:24Speaker 1: What if I have a twenty year or note? Yeah,
- 48:26Speaker 1: go on, it'll do.
- 48:27Speaker 2: Yeah, that's carboot Okay.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Don't don't. Don't bring me to a car boot sale
- 48:33Speaker 1: and not have that. But at the same time, if
- 48:35Speaker 1: you're advertising yourself as a market and I go expecting this,
- 48:38Speaker 1: that might be on me.
- 48:39Speaker 2: This was carboots sale? That fair right, yeah, one hundred percent.
- 48:42Speaker 2: I get it. Like if it's a market and somebody
- 48:45Speaker 2: has cheeses, we're fine. But I don't want to see
- 48:48Speaker 2: no cheese at a carboot sale. I mean I want
- 48:51Speaker 2: to see stuff. Oh sure you've got okay, you've got
- 48:54Speaker 2: an old weights, you know, an old set of weights.
- 48:57Speaker 2: Nobody's going to buy him. But fair places were taking
- 48:59Speaker 2: out of the riage and bringing them in, you know,
- 49:01Speaker 2: bringing them on your volvo today to open up your booth.
- 49:04Speaker 2: Like I sold. I suppose I wee years ago we
- 49:07Speaker 2: did a small little car boot say, we went to it,
- 49:10Speaker 2: myself and my brother, my parents. We made holly kind
- 49:13Speaker 2: of reads. It was a Christmas and that was the
- 49:16Speaker 2: closest I can but we made them at least, do
- 49:18Speaker 2: you know what I mean? But I think I think
- 49:19Speaker 2: at the same time, I think I sold some toys.
- 49:22Speaker 2: I think I had some toys like old he men
- 49:24Speaker 2: and stuff like that, which I'm kind of rage and
- 49:26Speaker 2: I sold like, well this is it too, but you're
- 49:28Speaker 2: you know, you got fifty pence for it or something
- 49:30Speaker 2: you're like, and also you know you cleared out for
- 49:34Speaker 2: more stuff common like or whatever. But it was everywhere
- 49:38Speaker 2: all along. There was very well organized car boots, but
- 49:41Speaker 2: quite literally people pulled up with their four desk cards
- 49:45Speaker 2: and popped the boot and you might have you should have.
- 49:48Speaker 2: You know, you'd have a bit of a table, or
- 49:50Speaker 2: you might be flogging it straight out of the boot
- 49:51Speaker 2: and have a blanket on the ground. It was everything
- 49:56Speaker 2: from like I said, as set of antlers to you know,
- 50:02Speaker 2: I don't know, a steer of skull that somebody brought
- 50:05Speaker 2: back from Texas thirty years ago whatever. Then you're you know,
- 50:07Speaker 2: and it's it's all this.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Stuff, yeah, tom or other things or.
- 50:13Speaker 2: Okay, there's two kind of quite similar things.
- 50:15Speaker 1: Those are just both skulls.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Lad, okay, fair enough. But you know, like this is
- 50:20Speaker 2: what you want to see. You want to see the
- 50:23Speaker 2: tat because you know, I did always laugh when people
- 50:27Speaker 2: would bring on like broken ship.
- 50:29Speaker 1: You're like, dude, yeah, take that to the dump.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Nobody take that to the dump, like but you But
- 50:34Speaker 2: then you know there could be a part of it.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Like I remember there was a guy that yok he
- 50:37Speaker 2: was holding things in I remember it was for a
- 50:42Speaker 2: play that somebody was doing. They really wanted an old
- 50:45Speaker 2: milk that's right for carrying. And this guy had a
- 50:48Speaker 2: bload of out china, you know, china plates and delf
- 50:52Speaker 2: stacked up in this thing. And I remember the outlet going, oh,
- 50:55Speaker 2: I know they needed this for a local play, and
- 50:57Speaker 2: do you can I I'll give you a box of
- 51:00Speaker 2: a kind of orange box in the boot of the cars,
- 51:01Speaker 2: and I buy that off. You went, ah, you want that?
- 51:04Speaker 2: And then yah, it's an actual milk crate like they
- 51:06Speaker 2: would hold six bottles of milk, and he went, do
- 51:09Speaker 2: you want any of the blades that are in it?
- 51:11Speaker 2: He was not want that, child, I want to yoke
- 51:13Speaker 2: at us in so he thought the guy didn't even
- 51:16Speaker 2: think there was value in it. But he was delighted
- 51:17Speaker 2: he got like five pounds or whatever. And you know
- 51:21Speaker 2: the thing with the.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Car boot sale, Tom, like, it should be like done
- 51:25Speaker 1: deal in real life.
- 51:27Speaker 2: That's exactly what it should be. Done deal in real life.
- 51:30Speaker 2: Done Deal should have their own like a sponsored their
- 51:34Speaker 2: own sponsored car boot sales and like that. No nothing new,
- 51:39Speaker 2: nothing new that you bought us and you're now a vendor,
- 51:42Speaker 2: no new ship.
- 51:44Speaker 1: If you want to do that, you take it to
- 51:45Speaker 1: a market market stall for example, like and you know
- 51:51Speaker 1: and and and if do you think this is Tom
- 51:52Speaker 1: and Jerry saying fuck, market's not the case the market
- 51:55Speaker 1: hope for example, you go out there, I could tell
- 51:57Speaker 1: you what was in the market at Hote and who
- 51:59Speaker 1: was and what because it's been the same people having
- 52:01Speaker 1: the same market stalls buy and large all the time.
- 52:06Speaker 1: And I wish them well in their in their business,
- 52:07Speaker 1: but don't rock up with the carboot.
- 52:09Speaker 2: Sale with that, No, like the very same. There's a
- 52:11Speaker 2: smaller market on Friday Fridays in temporary town and forever
- 52:15Speaker 2: in the day, they've had huge amounts of like I said,
- 52:20Speaker 2: knockoff work where you know, Metallica T shirts, the usual
- 52:25Speaker 2: stuff and a couple of moments, but it's all new
- 52:27Speaker 2: stuff that they bought somewhere. And if the.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Lads, if they're lads that are selling things that perhaps
- 52:35Speaker 1: how we say this time they don't have receipts.
- 52:37Speaker 2: For yeah, yeah, you know that's that shows up too.
- 52:40Speaker 2: That's the only thing that.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Shows up as well. And I'm like, you know, okay,
- 52:44Speaker 1: fair enough. You know, everybody, you've got to make a
- 52:47Speaker 1: living as a Jennifer Lopez once said, here's the thing
- 52:49Speaker 1: I want to talk about tom right, And we were
- 52:53Speaker 1: talking about Camp Crystal Dak and Camp what have you? Yeah,
- 52:58Speaker 1: and and and the how the Irish versions of it
- 53:00Speaker 1: don't translate. I haven't seen a very American thing. And
- 53:07Speaker 1: I would lie I would very much like to see
- 53:08Speaker 1: it tom a yard sale, a classic American yard sale
- 53:14Speaker 1: where you or they call it a garage sale as well,
- 53:17Speaker 1: where you basically open your garage door and you want
- 53:20Speaker 1: to sell in the house. You bring it out onto
- 53:22Speaker 1: the loan in front of you. Someone comes over says,
- 53:25Speaker 1: how much for the Ikea cabinet fifty year? Will you
- 53:28Speaker 1: take twenty? Yes, I just want it out of the house,
- 53:29Speaker 1: bloom gone. How much for that? How much for that?
- 53:31Speaker 1: And you literally empty your house of whatever you don't
- 53:34Speaker 1: want out onto the green and it's yeah, people buy it,
- 53:38Speaker 1: and whatever you're left with you either dump it or
- 53:40Speaker 1: give it to goodwill, or you give it to whatever.
- 53:42Speaker 1: I haven't seen that in Ireland, have you.
- 53:44Speaker 2: I have not, and I don't think you will see
- 53:48Speaker 2: it now with Irish people, because I don't know if
- 53:51Speaker 2: it's a privacy thing or or a begrudderat thing or
- 53:56Speaker 2: maybe a shame thing or whatever where they're like or
- 54:00Speaker 2: is just Irish people being kind of actually would buy
- 54:02Speaker 2: in my house?
- 54:03Speaker 1: You know who?
- 54:03Speaker 2: By who would buy? I've seen kind I have seen
- 54:08Speaker 2: like I've seen I know a guy he accidentally fell
- 54:10Speaker 2: into the kind of antiques world by doing kind of
- 54:14Speaker 2: something like that. He got left his out his granny's
- 54:17Speaker 2: house and which is this is all antiques in here.
- 54:19Speaker 2: I've no time for this shit. But he kind of
- 54:22Speaker 2: did a bit of research. I went, oh, this is
- 54:23Speaker 2: worth this, and he kind of did an open garage
- 54:26Speaker 2: kind of man away and have a look and made
- 54:28Speaker 2: a art and went yeah, of course. And now the
- 54:32Speaker 2: same guy who's still very he's not far outside of him,
- 54:35Speaker 2: but he's still very kind of Era. It is what
- 54:38Speaker 2: it is. He's not an antique stealer, but he kind
- 54:40Speaker 2: of is. By accident. We did a house clear out

- 56:33Speaker 2: original purchase. But of course you are stuff goes, I know,
- 56:37Speaker 2: but it was actually felt class. We're like Jesus Christ,
- 56:39Speaker 2: we're not moving that fuck. I make your bastard of
- 56:41Speaker 2: the table. But the best one I've ever seen, and
- 56:45Speaker 2: this is going to rattle your cage, the best two
- 56:48Speaker 2: I've ever seen over England. They do them right. We
- 56:58Speaker 2: went to one not far from Strafford, even and error.
- 57:01Speaker 2: It's not a it's what would you call it. It's
- 57:05Speaker 2: not antique. It is antique, but not an antique. It's
- 57:07Speaker 2: it's you know, it's did they call it reclamation? What
- 57:12Speaker 2: did they call it? Did they call it like salvage?
- 57:16Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Architectural and and it's an
- 57:19Speaker 2: interior salvage. But they didn't just have all this turft
- 57:22Speaker 2: and a warehouse perishing cold in the pistons of rain.
- 57:24Speaker 2: You walk in there and there this's cold inside, colder
- 57:27Speaker 2: inside on his outside. Yeah, you know, and you're going,
- 57:29Speaker 2: this is christ or there's no price on it inside
- 57:31Speaker 2: in this place. They had literally this gigantic warehouse on
- 57:36Speaker 2: two floors, and they had dioramas set up as to
- 57:40Speaker 2: where these would work in your home. They actually had settings.
- 57:44Speaker 2: Oh they want you want your house, Yeah, you want
- 57:47Speaker 2: your house to look like it's nineteen thirties and Jerry
- 57:49Speaker 2: is coming over the hill. This whole thing will be
- 57:53Speaker 2: and you just go lovely. Oh, great, there's a price
- 57:55Speaker 2: on it. I'll go and negotiate it. Was they call
- 57:59Speaker 2: him cons in France. Do you know where they have
- 58:03Speaker 2: it set up? Right where you go? Ah, Jesus will
- 58:06Speaker 2: pool all this together and I'll give you a half
- 58:07Speaker 2: fucking right that you're asking for it, and then we
- 58:09Speaker 2: can spit in their hands and shake hands and then
- 58:10Speaker 2: we talk and then we're talking. Now here's the other side.
- 58:13Speaker 2: We don't have the history here to have stuff that long.
- 58:16Speaker 2: Really we don't. It's probably still in houses if it
- 58:19Speaker 2: was around, like, we don't have that level of architecture
- 58:22Speaker 2: still that We burnt most of the big architectures to
- 58:25Speaker 2: the ground in the early part of the nineteen hundreds,
- 58:27Speaker 2: so we didn't end up in an awful lot of that
- 58:29Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But I went to a car boot
- 58:32Speaker 2: sail jar and by accident because it was in the
- 58:36Speaker 2: grounds of the place we were staying. The digive them
- 58:41Speaker 2: their due. They had a whole furniture section and interior section,
- 58:46Speaker 2: they had car parts section, they had you know, and
- 58:50Speaker 2: it was it was just like Dundeal broken down into
- 58:53Speaker 2: the categories and you could walk to each one and
- 58:55Speaker 2: there was some good stuff. There was you know, headlights
- 58:58Speaker 2: off in nineteen seventy two meters the Cooper like you
- 59:00Speaker 2: know what I mean, there was you know, like I was.
- 59:04Speaker 2: It was killing me. I was like, this is a
- 59:05Speaker 2: carboot sale. This is a proper carboot sale.
- 59:08Speaker 1: So in summary, ladies and gentlemen of the Tom and
- 59:12Speaker 1: Jerry Ougen car boot sales, we are for them. Stop
- 59:17Speaker 1: calling markets car boot sales. But at the same time,
- 59:20Speaker 1: I like a market. If I need something from a market,
- 59:22Speaker 1: I go to a market for exactly the only thing
- 59:26Speaker 1: I would generally need from a market these days is
- 59:28Speaker 1: at least for picking mix.
- 59:29Speaker 2: But here, cur though, that's normally what I want to
- 59:32Speaker 2: end up there.
- 59:32Speaker 1: That's a market, okay. And when we're here, we have
- 59:37Speaker 1: car boot sales selling old shite for a price that
- 59:41Speaker 1: you more or less dictate.
