- 2:08Speaker 1: messaged me and I needed to get back to them.
- 2:10Speaker 1: They want to they couldn't find or maybe it's just
- 2:14Speaker 1: to pain your whole to wind back the clock too.
- 2:16Speaker 1: But I may throw them up midweek or over a
- 2:18Speaker 1: weekend or something. The women of specials we had with
- 2:21Speaker 1: guests their worst guest. Yes, yes, yeah, so we will
- 2:24Speaker 1: throw them up sporadically.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Just we will throw them up behind a Patreon paywork,
- 2:31Speaker 3: you know what, I want to hear them that bad.
- 2:32Speaker 3: They can throw fifty cent for them that much.
- 2:35Speaker 1: There's an absolute a couple of crackers in there. But yeah,
- 2:37Speaker 1: I tell you how I am now there. I'm excited
- 2:39Speaker 1: to get get one hundred underway.
- 2:41Speaker 4: But I made the.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Vast, vastly miscalculated step this weekend. No eye protection mind.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I sent Jerry on a picture of yeah to buy
- 2:51Speaker 1: learning how to power wash with an extremely fucking powerful
- 2:54Speaker 1: powerash from his grandfather. Who if you think I don't
- 2:57Speaker 1: understand the two words help and safety going together, that
- 3:00Speaker 1: man doesn't even know those two words exist. And I
- 3:04Speaker 1: said to that Jerry, thinking that's a cute the video,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and his immediate think was three generations, not one of
- 3:08Speaker 1: you fuckers, whereas Calculus.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Unbelievable, Tom unbelievable. There's Tom and and we man and
- 3:15Speaker 3: not a goggle between them and not for nothing as well.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I shared it on the Instagram. But Tom has a
- 3:21Speaker 3: racket Gogglet's.
- 3:23Speaker 1: When you're tidy up the carriage and you find a
- 3:25Speaker 1: fucking I've found four phase testers, jar who.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Needs four face when it was the last time you
- 3:31Speaker 3: tested a phase, buddy.
- 3:33Speaker 1: But I made a drastic mistake. Aside from getting the
- 3:35Speaker 1: garage in order, which I'm very very happy with, it's
- 3:38Speaker 1: a proper workshop now getting the young flap power washing.
- 3:42Speaker 4: I did him terrible, terrible danger. I agreed to allow
- 3:48Speaker 4: a trampoline to come onto the property.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Well do you know what I'm going to tell you, Tom,
- 3:52Speaker 3: sunrise sunset, I got rid of my trampoline at the
- 3:55Speaker 3: weekend go away? Yeah yeah, else swashing underneath the tram
- 4:00Speaker 3: That was Jesus you found Trevor Jordas there. If I
- 4:06Speaker 3: do that, you get a trampoline.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there was a fox looking through the
- 4:09Speaker 1: headship me going that looks like a nice shitting spot.
- 4:13Speaker 1: But no, it was all good until I I all
- 4:16Speaker 1: day long, I'm walking over back, like I said, I'm
- 4:18Speaker 1: making a long weekend off and I'm off again tomorrow.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I will record, don't you? I said, No, I'm not
- 4:23Speaker 1: going on Jesus Christ. I'm old and brittle like my
- 4:26Speaker 1: bottom half. My joints are fused now, are.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Weary, my knees a nackered, my oh, my teeth rolled
- 4:32Speaker 3: and cry and.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I agreed. I jumped in and turned into ten year
- 4:38Speaker 1: old Tom again, started doing backflips, store a lot of
- 4:41Speaker 1: bouncing off my arse chair. My fucking nose hair is hurt.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, Yeah, I'm I'm after cranking every fucking
- 4:52Speaker 1: body part.
- 4:53Speaker 4: I can't.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I'm sitting here now just going hopefully Jerry will have
- 4:56Speaker 1: some sort of morphine chat he can just get across
- 4:58Speaker 1: from me here because I'm in ribbons, I mean fucking ribbons.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Terrible mistake, a dragonful mistake, Tom. And all I can
- 5:06Speaker 3: say is, don't clue the game, pal, because it don't
- 5:08Speaker 3: get no easier. I'll tell you that much.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I can't.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Don't think I'll physically get up the ladder to do
- 5:12Speaker 4: it again.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Do you know the The last time I got on
- 5:16Speaker 3: the trampoline with the kids was last year, and I
- 5:19Speaker 3: bounced with them for a little while. And there's a
- 5:21Speaker 3: there's as your children will get older to them and
- 5:23Speaker 3: they get a little bit bigger, you lose sync with
- 5:27Speaker 3: the bounce yea. And there is a there's a point
- 5:30Speaker 3: where a trampoline where if someone is at like maximum
- 5:34Speaker 3: down and they go start to bounce up as you
- 5:38Speaker 3: come down, and you meet the canvas as it comes
- 5:40Speaker 3: to meet.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You, and it blows in Eastronda.
- 5:42Speaker 3: It's like hitting the er. Yeah yeah, And I was
- 5:46Speaker 3: doing that with Queen Man last year and he was
- 5:49Speaker 3: on a. He was bouncing on a different sink than me,
- 5:51Speaker 3: and you only need to be three or four inches out,
- 5:53Speaker 3: and I just I just hit it, and I could
- 5:58Speaker 3: hear all the bones in my spine. It was technic
- 6:01Speaker 3: wed and so it was just like just you can
- 6:06Speaker 3: just hear them just like impact each other, just all
- 6:08Speaker 3: the way up and and like ha ha. It took
- 6:13Speaker 3: me six weeks to walk right again.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, my two hips are busted. Fucking I'm pretty sure
- 6:18Speaker 1: this is We're not so old that we should be
- 6:20Speaker 1: this broke up, but we are this broke up. And
- 6:21Speaker 1: there's a pilates teacher down the road like you should
- 6:24Speaker 1: come down to some men's class.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I'm like I will.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I may have to now, Yeah, if
- 6:29Speaker 1: I have any hope of survival here now, I think
- 6:30Speaker 1: I may have to just start doing some extracurricular fucking activities.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear liker though, I don't care. I'm I'm
- 6:38Speaker 1: all in, I'm all injured.
- 6:40Speaker 3: You're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly baby. Well,
- 6:43Speaker 3: let's not tell you. Let's see what we can do.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I don't got no ural morphine for you, but you
- 6:48Speaker 3: might have some for me, because We're gonna jump onto
- 6:51Speaker 3: the show itself. We've got a great show here today, folks,
- 6:54Speaker 3: take my word for that's Tom. He'll tell you.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Don Rickles moved there like that.
- 7:01Speaker 3: There you go. Yeah, we all means ask him. We
- 7:04Speaker 3: are going to rock on with a very special edition
- 7:07Speaker 3: of The Tom and Jerry Show. Just nothing but net
- 7:09Speaker 3: this week. Great stories to talk about, particularly the news
- 7:12Speaker 3: this week, which is Tom is going to take us
- 7:14Speaker 3: through in a segment we call the Weekly What have You.
- 7:18Speaker 3: This is a very complicated case, mod you know, a
- 7:20Speaker 3: lot of ian's, a lot of outs, a lot of
- 7:22Speaker 3: what have you, and uh, a lot of strands to
- 7:25Speaker 3: keep in my head. Man.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I mean we could have we could have been rude
- 7:29Speaker 1: and said, well, we're the weekly what.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Have you this week?
- 7:34Speaker 1: But you know what we're not. We're here for the people,
- 7:35Speaker 1: not for ourselves. We learned that a long time ago,
- 7:37Speaker 1: that you know, we'll only talk about ourselves for a
- 7:39Speaker 1: certain amount of time and people switch off. But we
- 7:42Speaker 1: the big news this week. But there's no but the big, good,
- 7:47Speaker 1: good crack news this week, which I suppose is kind
- 7:50Speaker 1: of ournic given how much fuel it took to fucking
- 7:52Speaker 1: do it, given the crisis. That's going to moted just
- 7:56Speaker 1: saying that, I hope you bought that ship, you know,
- 7:59Speaker 1: a couple of months by. But NASA's first crude mission
- 8:03Speaker 1: to the Moon in over fifty years Artemists the years
- 8:07Speaker 1: Artemist two is gone off to as a test flight
- 8:12Speaker 1: more or less for Artemis three, don't you know, has
- 8:15Speaker 1: headed off a couple of days ago on a ten
- 8:17Speaker 1: day spin around the old Moon, like in the same
- 8:20Speaker 1: way you go do the ring and kerry, you know
- 8:22Speaker 1: that kind of way. It's a track, it's a trick,
- 8:25Speaker 1: like it is they're going to spin off from star Trek.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Some might say is Captain's log. I never saw the log.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Didn't know what any star logs will be doing on
- 8:33Speaker 1: a fucking on the spaceship. But who am I? I know,
- 8:37Speaker 1: rocket sergeant.
- 8:38Speaker 3: But as we as we recorded now we're recording on
- 8:41Speaker 3: the Tuesday of the bank call of the weekend, they
- 8:43Speaker 3: have cycled the Moon. They've gone around the far side
- 8:46Speaker 3: of the dark side.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Of the Knock side of the Moon where all.
- 8:49Speaker 3: The Nazis have their pyramids built, and they've looped around
- 8:53Speaker 3: and all going according to plan. When this episode drops
- 8:56Speaker 3: on Thursday, they will have arrived home safe and sound,
- 8:59Speaker 3: or they'll at least not have exploded in space. Although,
- 9:02Speaker 3: mind you, with the other rockets that the US are
- 9:04Speaker 3: about to launch now, given that we're recording this at
- 9:06Speaker 3: eight o'clock on a Tuesday, ah, this is the only
- 9:10Speaker 3: good rocket that the United States has launched in the
- 9:12Speaker 3: last two weeks. So maybe you'll be listening to the
- 9:14Speaker 3: Tom and Jerry Show in a fucking fallout shelter. We
- 9:17Speaker 3: genuinely can't say at this stage.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to be a point, do you think
- 9:21Speaker 1: with the leads and artemists to go, dear we leave?
- 9:24Speaker 4: I was still up here a little bit.
- 9:27Speaker 1: How much crisps do we have for another few weeks
- 9:28Speaker 1: up here? I will just stay up here until we
- 9:31Speaker 1: have to head back, because in all fairness, you go
- 9:33Speaker 1: let that all fucking die down now.
- 9:35Speaker 4: I can't be dealing with that.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Yeah, go on, I'm just gonna like, did you ever
- 9:41Speaker 3: get to work Tom in the morning and just like
- 9:43Speaker 3: sit in the car for an extra five minutes?
- 9:45Speaker 1: Jerry? There was a point there for a brief period
- 9:48Speaker 1: where I worked in an office environment and there wasn't
- 9:50Speaker 1: one single morning in the six months I worked for
- 9:53Speaker 1: that company where I didn't sit in the corner of
- 9:55Speaker 1: my company for focus and think about sticking a lid
- 9:59Speaker 1: rag into tank. Just floor on it. See how far
- 10:02Speaker 1: into the building I'll get every morning, every fucking mor oh,
- 10:09Speaker 1: and I vibrating inside my fucking call. I'm gonna fucking
- 10:12Speaker 1: kill everybody I worked with.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Well, Tom the Moon, I want to ask you. Now,
- 10:16Speaker 3: we have kids. We mentioned them from time to time,
- 10:19Speaker 3: and there are various things that young men, young boys
- 10:22Speaker 3: will will will spend all their chips on, so to speak.
- 10:26Speaker 3: For they'll cash in all their tokens for certain things.
- 10:28Speaker 3: In my house, my wee man cash in all his
- 10:30Speaker 3: tokens on trains. You're we man, I believe, cashed heavily
- 10:34Speaker 3: in on dinosaurs and and dragons. Yeahs, we don't have
- 10:39Speaker 3: a space explorer in our house, do.
- 10:41Speaker 1: You No, couldn't give a bolic sellice. Really, I suppose
- 10:44Speaker 1: it's he's into the fantastical notion of space, so he'd
- 10:49Speaker 1: watch a bit of the our Levatar lads for a
- 10:51Speaker 1: while and then he but unless there's fucking monsters involved here,
- 10:54Speaker 1: he don't want to know.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Exactly same same same over here. Now we uh you know,
- 11:00Speaker 3: they're like, oh, do you want to look at the
- 11:02Speaker 3: telescope or look at it for some My wee man,
- 11:05Speaker 3: for some reason when he was five, took a notion
- 11:06Speaker 3: to learn all the planets, including the dwarf planets, which
- 11:09Speaker 3: is Mackie mackei in series and all these Oh yeah, yeah,
- 11:12Speaker 3: we didn't know Tom what the fuck he was talking about, yes,
- 11:16Speaker 3: because it's like the dwarf planet, Mickie Mackey. I'm like,
- 11:19Speaker 3: come on, kid, what's going on here. Come to find out,
- 11:21Speaker 3: he was one hundred percent right, But he never really
- 11:24Speaker 3: launched it because I was going to takehim up to
- 11:25Speaker 3: the planetarium and our man all this kind of crack. Oh,
- 11:28Speaker 3: he'd so we don't really have any moon fascinations. And
- 11:31Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you, Tom, I wasn't all that fascinated
- 11:34Speaker 3: with moon travel back in the day, not going to
- 11:37Speaker 3: go all we remember when on it or anything like that.
- 11:40Speaker 3: But it confused the hell out of me to learn
- 11:43Speaker 3: that the United States went to the Minion like four
- 11:46Speaker 3: or five times in an intense period back in the
- 11:49Speaker 3: late sixties early seventies and then just never went again.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I was concerned that we're up and down there if
- 11:54Speaker 3: you have an hour.
- 11:55Speaker 1: That was what like I couldn't. I couldn't wrap a
- 11:58Speaker 1: head around that. Like they had the man one obviously,
- 12:00Speaker 1: the very first man one. Do you know, Yes, Stanley
- 12:05Speaker 1: Kubrick was involved in the he was, he was involved
- 12:09Speaker 1: in the editing of it and whatnot and how he
- 12:11Speaker 1: should should be villained and stuff like that. But anyway,
- 12:15Speaker 1: for the argument of the of the show about eleven
- 12:18Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine, of course, was Neil Armstrong and
- 12:21Speaker 1: Buzz Aldrin left Michael Collins up in the ship though
- 12:24Speaker 1: never was a fan of Alack. As in the market
- 12:27Speaker 1: words of pack McDonald. Of course, the two brothers would
- 12:29Speaker 1: do that to.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Never not at it, never not at it.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But and they landed. They seemed to throw all sorts
- 12:37Speaker 1: of yokies up there, from rovers to this thing into
- 12:40Speaker 1: that thing, but they never seemed to I could never.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I would like yourself. I was one hundred percent sure
- 12:44Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ would have a bit of a base
- 12:46Speaker 1: built that that by now there'd be some sort of
- 12:49Speaker 1: a base built up there, you know what I mean,
- 12:51Speaker 1: bolted down if you fucking Steve Beams and Steve Collums
- 12:54Speaker 1: get shade going, if you had a guest.
- 12:56Speaker 3: House Tom down and Coraclow Beach or something like that.
- 13:00Speaker 3: You'd leave in television, then you would this is exactly
- 13:03Speaker 3: it not it up and down every time you enter.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Now, there was a few like there was you know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: there was there was a few that the likes of
- 13:10Speaker 1: the Soviets were pushing them heavy and stuff like that.
- 13:12Speaker 1: But it seemed to be that it was I don't know,
- 13:15Speaker 1: was it that did Could they not root around and
- 13:18Speaker 1: finding money down the back of the I guess the war,
- 13:22Speaker 1: the defense fucking package and whatnot. Would you have not
- 13:25Speaker 1: set up some sort of laser on the Moon? I
- 13:27Speaker 1: don't know. I was fully sure they would at this stage,
- 13:30Speaker 1: because the whole notion was that the Moon itself what
- 13:33Speaker 1: would have been perfect for setting up a giant laser
- 13:36Speaker 1: in invert commas, some sort of radio ra one would say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 1: but it isn't it. It would have seemed not. So
- 13:43Speaker 1: there are the plan is to go back and this
- 13:45Speaker 1: one is This one basically is a loot what they're
- 13:50Speaker 1: calling a lunor flyby. So there'll be five or four
- 13:52Speaker 1: thousand mile miles above the surface of the surface of
- 13:56Speaker 1: the Moon, so not exactly clipping it, if you know
- 13:58Speaker 1: what I mean. About the same distance from here to
- 14:02Speaker 1: New York there thereabouts, which.
- 14:05Speaker 3: You know, as closer than I am to it right now, Tom.
- 14:08Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's quite a peg.
- 14:11Speaker 1: It's a clip. It's a clip. So they're going to
- 14:13Speaker 1: go around to take some photies on all the rest
- 14:15Speaker 1: and apparently they are doing some experiments kind of see
- 14:19Speaker 1: they're testing new new gear. I mean, it's a bit.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's cool to be the the you know, the the
- 14:24Speaker 1: astronauts that are gone up with it all, but really
- 14:26Speaker 1: are being told look at and run the gear hard
- 14:29Speaker 1: for the bye for the real lads coming up next,
- 14:31Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 14:32Speaker 3: And honestly, that's what it is. It's a WRECKI is
- 14:33Speaker 3: what it is.
- 14:34Speaker 2: It is.
- 14:35Speaker 3: And I was kind of dismissive of I'm like, well,
- 14:37Speaker 3: the moon's the moon, lads, like you know, ever and
- 14:39Speaker 3: that you saw last time is still there by and
- 14:42Speaker 3: large largely unchanged. But I suppose, as you say yourself,
- 14:45Speaker 3: they've got new gear. Last time they were up there,
- 14:48Speaker 3: like hey Collins, point the radio mcgraham outside the window
- 14:51Speaker 3: there and see if you can get a frost pass
- 14:53Speaker 3: of the moon. And now it's like, actually, no, we've
- 14:55Speaker 3: got like specific high definition four K thing. But it's
- 15:00Speaker 3: still just rocks and sand, right.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to take so many conspiracy theorist,
- 15:05Speaker 1: there's a face on the moon, you know, there's there's
- 15:08Speaker 1: pyramidic there. There does seem to be some right angle
- 15:11Speaker 1: shaped things, which by the way, can absolutely happen naturally
- 15:14Speaker 1: in geo formations. People get so excited they're like, but
- 15:18Speaker 1: there are angles, Like, yeah, if you put a fucking
- 15:21Speaker 1: piece of quartz under native microscope, you're going to see
- 15:24Speaker 1: all sorts of right angles and angles Undernate that too.
- 15:27Speaker 1: I'm not saying that there are aren't pyramids and that
- 15:28Speaker 1: natzis riding around on the back of t rex is
- 15:31Speaker 1: up there. I'm not saying they're not. But these lads
- 15:36Speaker 1: will come be back down by by April seventh, plea God.
- 15:39Speaker 1: But they think they're one of the big things they're
- 15:41Speaker 1: testing up there is like creature comforts because the next
- 15:44Speaker 1: one art was three I'm guessing will be going up
- 15:46Speaker 1: for a while because they're probably looking, let's be honest,
- 15:49Speaker 1: they're looking for real estature. If it's if it's Americans,
- 15:52Speaker 1: they're looking to put up a base and.
- 15:58Speaker 3: May they're gonna go with them.
- 15:59Speaker 1: They're testing live sports systems and creature comforts in the
- 16:02Speaker 1: style of the new, the new and improved on board
- 16:06Speaker 1: toilet that they have. It's the first everyone that's properly
- 16:09Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be using a bit of an happy
- 16:10Speaker 1: for the long distance ones. Up until now, you know,
- 16:12Speaker 1: they likes any lunar mission up until now. Yeah, no,
- 16:16Speaker 1: I guess there was not a piper or whatever.
- 16:18Speaker 3: But you know, the funny thing about it is like
- 16:20Speaker 3: the very earliest people that would orbit the Earth and
- 16:23Speaker 3: this kind of crack like just one orbit of the
- 16:25Speaker 3: Earth and back down again. That seems like a month
- 16:29Speaker 3: long sort of thing. Few hours blast them up into
- 16:32Speaker 3: this guy. He goes around the world in you know,
- 16:34Speaker 3: less than a day and he comes down. How did
- 16:36Speaker 3: he do for a toilet? I think they were just
- 16:37Speaker 3: told Era fucking Holder. Yeah, yeah, go before you go, go,
- 16:41Speaker 3: before you get on the rocket. You'll be all right.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Get yourself some some of that real sticky Japanese or ice.
- 16:46Speaker 1: That's your next your next three meals, that's all it's
- 16:48Speaker 1: going to be. And yeah, you'll be the Vinus for
- 16:51Speaker 1: about three days.
- 16:52Speaker 3: You'll be fine.
- 16:52Speaker 1: This so the crew anyway, are read Weisman great name
- 16:56Speaker 1: for a commander, isn't it a NASA commed weisman? You know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: Victor Glover, he's going to be the pilot. God damn,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I thought there we're all going to be kind of pilots.
- 17:04Speaker 1: But anyway, he's the pilot. He's the first person of
- 17:07Speaker 1: color to travel beyond low orbit. That's lovely. Christina Cock,
- 17:13Speaker 1: my god, she's a mission specialist and she's the first
- 17:16Speaker 1: woman to travel beyond the kitchen. I'm joking. I'm joking.
- 17:26Speaker 1: She again is the first woman to travel beyond Earth
- 17:29Speaker 1: low Earth orbit. And Jeremy Hansen, he's the mission specialist,
- 17:33Speaker 1: first non American is a Canadian to travel beyond low orbits.
- 17:39Speaker 1: All these lands have just been skirted around the place,
- 17:41Speaker 1: bar commander, right, Weisman, who's deal need to be rookies? Listen,
- 17:46Speaker 1: wouldn't you though, wouldn't you be having the time of
- 17:49Speaker 1: your life? I mean, a few quit in the back pocket.
- 17:52Speaker 1: You know you'll all get a book out of it.
- 17:54Speaker 3: You're going to the moon.
- 17:56Speaker 1: You're spinning around the moon, taking a couple of snaps
- 17:59Speaker 1: your taste and what are you testing? You know what
- 18:01Speaker 1: I mean? You're testing foot call. All you've been told
- 18:03Speaker 1: is here. Listen, push it out to ten thousand revs
- 18:06Speaker 1: and see and hold it there for a fucking good
- 18:08Speaker 1: two minutes. See how we're going to the pikes go red?
- 18:11Speaker 1: Failing that, she definest she's ready for the NCT. You know,
- 18:15Speaker 1: that's what we're looking at. It's going to.
- 18:17Speaker 3: Be ten years before someone checks your homework. Oh, for
- 18:19Speaker 3: God's sake, you know, like how many You told me
- 18:22Speaker 3: that there was fifteen rocks and we went up there
- 18:23Speaker 3: and there was only fourteen wamp I tell you.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know wind blew over a few.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Quarter of a million miles from Earth is what they're
- 18:32Speaker 1: going to be. Just so, it's the furthest any human
- 18:36Speaker 1: has traveled technically. So it is there because they're not
- 18:40Speaker 1: just going to the moon a beck, they're going around
- 18:43Speaker 1: the back of the shed. Yeah you know what I mean,
- 18:44Speaker 1: which will be technically a bit further than this. So
- 18:47Speaker 1: I suppose that's the thing to get excited about. They
- 18:49Speaker 1: shut off this would I would love to in a
- 18:52Speaker 1: lifetime to see the rocket come up. But I'm such
- 18:56Speaker 1: a fucking cynic, like you see all these newscasters. I
- 19:00Speaker 1: know that she's an Irish woman, she's involved God I
- 19:02Speaker 1: forget her. She breathed a red haired woman. She's a
- 19:05Speaker 1: scientist and she's so involved with NASA and all these things,
- 19:08Speaker 1: and so many people were just crying at this thing
- 19:11Speaker 1: taken off, like and they were overwhelmed by how it
- 19:13Speaker 1: made it feel. And like all I could see was going,
- 19:17Speaker 1: there's a million could, there's a million could. Yeah, there's
- 19:19Speaker 1: a million clud.
- 19:20Speaker 3: There's a bit the moon, Like.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Why is he's on the moon? Exactly here, I'm going
- 19:26Speaker 1: around fucking filling my fucking carara with pocket fulls of
- 19:29Speaker 1: fucking diesel of Thursday, and these lads are way up there.
- 19:32Speaker 1: They haven't even fucking get off the ground, and they've
- 19:35Speaker 1: burnt more than I would in a lifetime line ten lifetimes,
- 19:38Speaker 1: fucking fifty blocked every motorway in the country, blocked with
- 19:41Speaker 1: trucks on a fuel cuel crisis, protested these lads going,
- 19:45Speaker 1: let's test the toilet out in space.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you one thing, tom now, and
- 19:49Speaker 3: we wish the crew of the Artemis all exactly definitely
- 19:53Speaker 3: the notion that the Moonlanders might have been faked back
- 19:55Speaker 3: in the day. And I got to tell you, I
- 20:00Speaker 3: just wanted to be known that my special stance on
- 20:02Speaker 3: the whole thing is that I believe Neil Armstrong walked
- 20:05Speaker 3: on the surface of the actual moon. Okay, okay, and
- 20:09Speaker 3: all that took place, and that's all cool in the gang.
- 20:14Speaker 3: But if you were gone to do anything, then was
- 20:17Speaker 3: the time to do it. I would not frown upon
- 20:21Speaker 3: a government that was in a vicious space race with
- 20:24Speaker 3: their mortal enemies, the Russians, of cheating at the time.
- 20:28Speaker 3: I'd be like, I can see that if you were
- 20:29Speaker 3: going to cheat, that would be the time to do it.
- 20:32Speaker 1: It would be No, it's only I think for me,
- 20:36Speaker 1: I don't disbelieve that they could or they couldn't have
- 20:38Speaker 1: done it. It sounds a bit tricky alright that how
- 20:40Speaker 1: much would they have known to have ready for themselves
- 20:42Speaker 1: to go up there? Like? But anyway, the the it
- 20:47Speaker 1: seems enough flatter, like things like the footage, the original
- 20:49Speaker 1: footage gone gone, not to be had, that's to be
- 20:53Speaker 1: had gone.
- 20:53Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, I know, did you leave it out
- 20:57Speaker 3: in this on? Know what you do?
- 20:58Speaker 1: You fuckers went out in the the green bin?
- 21:01Speaker 4: That was the problem.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Foxs sake. Things like that were like I left them,
- 21:07Speaker 1: am I like? What about life recorded over put fucking
- 21:11Speaker 1: a country practices recorded over the entirety.
- 21:13Speaker 5: After all that, I do see a lot of I
- 21:15Speaker 5: do see a lot of conspiracy theorists online that would
- 21:19Speaker 5: take a look at the old Apollo lander and be
- 21:23Speaker 5: that thing's way too flimsy to land, so look, or.
- 21:25Speaker 3: It's falling apart, is only a bit of a girder
- 21:27Speaker 3: and the land. You can't land a thing like that,
- 21:30Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, you're not landing on Earth. Dipshit,
- 21:33Speaker 3: there's no fucking gravity on the Moon. It landed as
- 21:36Speaker 3: gentle as a feather, is what it did. In actual fact,
- 21:39Speaker 3: they had to rocket it down to the ground so
- 21:41Speaker 3: that it wouldn't fucking bounce off into space. So I
- 21:44Speaker 3: don't I'm perfectly okay with the physics of it. And
- 21:48Speaker 3: are you telling me that are you telling me that
- 21:49Speaker 3: thing there had enough diesel in it to get it
- 21:51Speaker 3: back to the to the Earth, And I'm like, once again, space,
- 21:55Speaker 3: you throw a thing, it keeps going. They didn't need
- 21:58Speaker 3: diesel to get back to the Earth. They could have
- 22:00Speaker 3: thrown that fucking thing back to the Earth. It got
- 22:02Speaker 3: a lot slower, but it will get there.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, it's it's stuff was shite back then.
- 22:08Speaker 1: That's the only thing I believe them now, you know,
- 22:11Speaker 1: like everything was shite. Yeah, big fucking drum brakes on
- 22:15Speaker 1: your car? How did you get that there? Though? How
- 22:20Speaker 1: the fuck did you get that there and back? And
- 22:23Speaker 1: you haven't done it again in fifty years. That's the
- 22:25Speaker 1: one that troubles me. If they're upper and way up
- 22:26Speaker 1: and down like you know yourself, JCBs are knocking around
- 22:30Speaker 1: since whatever the fifties, they got better and better every year.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Every year they got better. They didn't go that's the finest,
- 22:37Speaker 1: the big boxy one with the giant cab ye three CX,
- 22:42Speaker 1: and just leave it at that, with the one with
- 22:43Speaker 1: the red wheels, Just leave it at that. That's fine.
- 22:46Speaker 1: We're twenty twenty six. We'll make a new one. What
- 22:49Speaker 1: I'm saying is, why wouldn't they have gotten between now
- 22:53Speaker 1: and then, like just come on.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Just waiting. They were waiting time for their ship.
- 22:58Speaker 1: To come in and waiting for the right. I wanted
- 23:00Speaker 1: to make a tiling.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Well and all things be all, you know, equality among men,
- 23:04Speaker 3: and then we can put Widy on the moon again.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I tell you what I don't I do, you know,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I don't understand Jerry. I don't know what's what's going
- 23:14Speaker 1: on like NASA or NASA and then SpaceX is space?
- 23:17Speaker 1: What's who's doing?
- 23:18Speaker 3: What?
- 23:18Speaker 1: Why is there two? I don't. I don't get that.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I don't involve myself enough of these things. But I
- 23:23Speaker 1: don't understand why there's two. Are they both coming out
- 23:26Speaker 1: of the same bus station? Are they both working together?
- 23:29Speaker 1: I don't.
- 23:29Speaker 3: It's like it's like you're saying over there time if
- 23:31Speaker 3: we have legal do we need ALDI?
- 23:33Speaker 1: This is kind of it, like what are we doing?
- 23:35Speaker 4: Like?
- 23:35Speaker 1: What are we doing? What the fuck are we doing?
- 23:37Speaker 1: Burned up heaves a picture that we all want. Come on.
- 23:40Speaker 3: That's well, we will find out together and again, if
- 23:43Speaker 3: the Earth is still here on Thursday, and this episode
- 23:46Speaker 3: does indeed drop, we hope that the Artemist people have
- 23:48Speaker 3: arrived safe and sound back down to Earth. But as
- 23:53Speaker 3: the one hundred episode of The Tom and Jerry Show
- 23:55Speaker 3: rolls on, we're gonna say go about the moon and
- 23:58Speaker 3: say hello to someone else. Someone that we want to
- 24:01Speaker 3: say is a lad, not just any lad or one
- 24:03Speaker 3: hundred episodes in here, folks, you know who I'm talking
- 24:06Speaker 3: about talking about? This lad?
- 24:09Speaker 2: Now there's that guy.
- 24:11Speaker 1: It had to be some of these specials, and I
- 24:13Speaker 1: mean again, no, we're not those guys. We couldn't have
- 24:17Speaker 1: done just us. I think it once did we do
- 24:20Speaker 1: me at one stage, and I was even very uncomfortable
- 24:22Speaker 1: with that.
- 24:22Speaker 3: I do remember your I remember your dad was this
- 24:25Speaker 3: lad one one week when he helped you seal the
- 24:29Speaker 3: deal on the finishing of your house.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, We've.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Inevitably been this lad down through the down through the
- 24:35Speaker 3: one hundred episodes of The Tom and Jerry Show. But
- 24:38Speaker 3: this week we were kicking around. There was a couple
- 24:40Speaker 3: of lads and ladies and inanimate objects about the place.
- 24:43Speaker 3: But we decided instead that if this one hundredth episode
- 24:46Speaker 3: is indeed us raising a glass to the Tom and
- 24:48Speaker 3: Jerry Show, then we should get someone on board who
- 24:51Speaker 3: has raised more glasses than anybody else in history and
- 24:56Speaker 3: have a chat about the drinking prowess of the man
- 24:59Speaker 3: called Andre the Giant.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And there's nothing. There's a million different things we could
- 25:04Speaker 1: talk about Andre Giant, but I think the drink inside
- 25:06Speaker 1: of things. Why not that we just passed the may
- 25:08Speaker 1: the May Bank on the weekend. Yeah, we're all a
- 25:11Speaker 1: bit dusty after coming off of lint about lighter a
- 25:14Speaker 1: couple of Polish beers Saturday evening, looking sideways and going
- 25:18Speaker 1: ha ha ha, I maybe won't go at the power
- 25:20Speaker 1: towards this.
- 25:21Speaker 3: See it as we go, as we as the show
- 25:23Speaker 3: rolls on and we start remembering things, Tom, I remember
- 25:27Speaker 3: when hangover in the last two to three days. But
- 25:29Speaker 3: here we are. Andre the Giant born Andrea Roussamov was
- 25:34Speaker 3: a big giant man. Depending on who you listened to,
- 25:37Speaker 3: he was either six eleven or seven five. He was
- 25:39Speaker 3: a wrestler back in the day, made famous by everything
- 25:44Speaker 3: he fucking did. He was have the name from the
- 25:47Speaker 3: seventies through the eighties all the way into the nineties.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Twenty passed away early age. More than that in a second, Tom,
- 25:56Speaker 3: But he was the biggest wrestling attraction. And I don't
- 25:58Speaker 3: mean just like by the size of them. I mean
- 26:01Speaker 3: to say that his name would draw crowds of tens
- 26:06Speaker 3: of thousands. He was the biggest superstar in the world.
- 26:10Speaker 3: And that's all we're going to talk about his wrestling accomplishments, Tom,
- 26:13Speaker 3: because the other thing he was very accomplished in was drinking.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Drinking I mean holds the unofficial but has yet to
- 26:23Speaker 3: be challenged, world record for most beers drank in a
- 26:28Speaker 3: single sitting. He did it in nineteen seventy six. So
- 26:34Speaker 3: I guess this is like the what am I looking
- 26:36Speaker 3: to hear the fiftieth anniversary of it?
- 26:38Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, oh you know what the hell?
- 26:40Speaker 3: No better time to no better time to mention it?
- 26:42Speaker 1: Right, unbelievable? Was that the one? Was that the one
- 26:46Speaker 1: he went on he was drinking? Was he drinking with
- 26:48Speaker 1: flair during that one? No? Okay, here's here's had his
- 26:52Speaker 1: own story first.
- 26:53Speaker 3: With all legends, everybody throws in a little bit of it,
- 26:57Speaker 3: right right. Everybody thinks they were there the night that
- 27:00Speaker 3: Andrea the Giant drank a hundred and seventeen beers. Let
- 27:04Speaker 3: me give you that number again, Tom, one hundred and
- 27:08Speaker 3: seventeen beers.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Like seventeen beers, it's fair goal.
- 27:12Speaker 3: You throw a one on the front of that, you're
- 27:14Speaker 3: into something.
- 27:15Speaker 1: I'm struggling with that as much as I am with
- 27:18Speaker 1: space travel. Right now.
- 27:20Speaker 3: You're talking about the diesel it takes to lift to
- 27:23Speaker 3: lift a rocket to the moon, the diesel it takes
- 27:25Speaker 3: to hold Andrea the Giant down.
- 27:27Speaker 1: For the three can brother.
- 27:29Speaker 3: He always was a mad drinker because not for nothing, Tom,
- 27:34Speaker 3: Look at the fucking size of him. At his peak,
- 27:36Speaker 3: he weighed forty stone and he's he never stopped there
- 27:41Speaker 3: six eleven and a half or seven five, he's at
- 27:44Speaker 3: least seven foot toll.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Like he's drinking ability could have only gotten better, chir
- 27:49Speaker 1: He never stopped physically growing, you know that he like, yeah, correct,
- 27:52Speaker 1: he was growing, was it Jesus?
- 27:55Speaker 3: It's megala some such. But the thing that you just
- 27:59Speaker 3: keep throwing.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just going.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Until eventually your heart just puts.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Yeah, which is.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Bad news until you, you know, discover that you can
- 28:12Speaker 3: keep pounding back. Drink after drink. Tom he under the giant.
- 28:16Speaker 3: He love nothing more than to knock back a six
- 28:19Speaker 3: pack of wine.
- 28:23Speaker 1: He was French, of course, he was French like, so.
- 28:27Speaker 3: You know, he would drink bottles of wine which looked
- 28:31Speaker 3: just like beer bottles in his hands because the size
- 28:33Speaker 3: of his hands would make it a bottle of wine
- 28:35Speaker 3: looked just like a bottle of Budweiser in their hands.
- 28:38Speaker 3: And he would knock back about six of them and
- 28:40Speaker 3: then go wrestle the match and then come back. He
- 28:44Speaker 3: just simply did not get drunk. He could drink spirits
- 28:47Speaker 3: by the pink glass and not feel drunk.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Fucking frene.
- 28:51Speaker 1: You know it's it's it's it's a real thing for
- 28:53Speaker 1: their excellence. They really are, they really are Jesus Christ like.
- 28:58Speaker 3: But he he.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I remember hearing like it'll be nothing in the dress
- 29:03Speaker 1: room after match, a full slab, like oh yeah, and
- 29:06Speaker 1: just pop up in their little cans. And the lads
- 29:08Speaker 1: would describe the cans in his hands, it was they
- 29:11Speaker 1: looked like infants cans.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Little cans you get the kids at Christmas.
- 29:14Speaker 1: And there was the pol ring ones. He would have
- 29:16Speaker 1: to get the other lads to open it for him
- 29:18Speaker 1: because he's, like he does be fat fit fingers.
- 29:21Speaker 4: They look like.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Giant fingers, like white like sticks of white button.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So he just couldn't get fucking
- 29:26Speaker 1: even into open the things, so he'd have an assistant.
- 29:30Speaker 1: But by all accounts, when he went to Japan, they
- 29:32Speaker 1: were because they loved drinking a party and slapping each
- 29:35Speaker 1: other on the chest and the whole. You know, the
- 29:37Speaker 1: businessman would only love to go out. And the bigger
- 29:40Speaker 1: you are, the better, should you imagine him like the
- 29:43Speaker 1: dream sumo like and all of a sudden, now you
- 29:47Speaker 1: can drink saki, You can drink any amount of Japanese beer,
- 29:50Speaker 1: because Japanese beer is light enough on to tell me,
- 29:53Speaker 1: I reckon maybe one if he did a night in Japan,
- 29:56Speaker 1: he'd probably break whatever he did on the it was
- 29:58Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen or on seventeen.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Well, look, here's the thing. And again you were asking
- 30:03Speaker 3: who was he with and who was he drinking with.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Here's the thing with legends, you know what I mean,
- 30:06Speaker 3: it's hard to just pin down exactly where it happened
- 30:08Speaker 3: and when it happened. The number quoted online is one
- 30:14Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen beers, one hundred and nineteen twelve ounce beers,
- 30:19Speaker 3: which is like the three thirty bottles. So not he's
- 30:23Speaker 3: not drinking one hundred and nineteen pints. But then again, Tom,
- 30:26Speaker 3: you shouldn't drink one hundred and nineteen fucking anything, all right,
- 30:32Speaker 3: Don't drink one hundred and nineteen steps cod liver oil, Like,
- 30:35Speaker 3: just don't drink that much of anything. They say, one
- 30:39Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen beers. I watched an interview with Andre
- 30:43Speaker 3: the Giant on David Letterman where Andre himself tells Letterman
- 30:47Speaker 3: that it was one hundred and seventeen beers one point seven.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Let's not be mental here, let's not go crazy.
- 30:54Speaker 3: But with that being said, what I want to say
- 30:57Speaker 3: over a six hour drinking session where a man is
- 30:59Speaker 3: drinking one hundred and ten one hundred and twenty beers,
- 31:03Speaker 3: who the fuck is canting? Okay? Who is?
- 31:06Speaker 1: I never pull out the phone or good or for anything,
- 31:09Speaker 1: but I'm just going to So what's six by sixty?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Is it would be six in the minutes? Yes, okay,
- 31:14Speaker 1: says three hundred and sixty, And let's divide that by
- 31:17Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen. Will say he's telling the truth.
- 31:19Speaker 1: The one hundred and seven one one seven Jesus Christ, Jerry,
- 31:22Speaker 1: that's one ever three three minutes gone.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just posting them down, one alfter the other.
- 31:27Speaker 3: He's just like knocking them back NonStop, so that he's
- 31:31Speaker 3: drinking these like you or I would eat popcorn.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Like he would have slowed down. That's the average time,
- 31:37Speaker 1: so he would have started off, clocking him in a minute.
- 31:40Speaker 1: What what's forty? What's a forty ounce? Is that a
- 31:44Speaker 1: full kind of beer?
- 31:46Speaker 3: Forty is a bottle on itself? A forty is like
- 31:49Speaker 3: it's a it's a particularly big bottle.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Oh so sorry, twelve ounce. I'm just reading it here now,
- 31:54Speaker 1: just open a twelve ounce beers. Is that a long neck?
- 31:56Speaker 3: Then that's a long still all the same like the
- 31:58Speaker 3: threehundreds til I drink at christ But I don't to
- 32:00Speaker 3: tell you, as the story goes, I would drink twenty
- 32:03Speaker 3: of those at Christmas and be buckled for days.
- 32:07Speaker 1: He by all accounts during the film and The Princess
- 32:09Speaker 1: of a Bride, which was brilliant in he wrecked up
- 32:13Speaker 1: a forty grand hotel bart Oh.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Yeah, all this man did was drink. And look here's
- 32:19Speaker 3: the thing. Okay, you're talking about the legend of when
- 32:22Speaker 3: he drank these one hundred and nineteen beers, and everybody
- 32:24Speaker 3: says they were there. Tom, I'm not going to sit
- 32:27Speaker 3: here across from you and tell you that this was
- 32:29Speaker 3: the only time he drank. Yeah, just like this on
- 32:32Speaker 3: the regular. There's another tale where he was in an
- 32:34Speaker 3: airport with Hulk Hogan on a layover and he drank
- 32:37Speaker 3: one hundred and eight beers until they had no more
- 32:39Speaker 3: to sell them. So this was it was not uncommon
- 32:42Speaker 3: for Andre the Giant to put back one hundred plus beers.
- 32:47Speaker 1: So, like we there was a friend of ours played
- 32:52Speaker 1: Rugby with him, and I remember there was this will
- 32:55Speaker 1: tell you they was obscurity, obscure of things. That he
- 32:57Speaker 1: was going to college college bars. He went on to
- 33:00Speaker 1: play a little bit of Ireland. He was a monstrous man.
- 33:03Speaker 1: He was six foot five walking around, fit as a
- 33:06Speaker 1: flee at twenty one twenty two stone fit as a
- 33:09Speaker 1: flee now, yeah, And there was a it was a
- 33:11Speaker 1: challenge in a bar that if you could drink six
- 33:14Speaker 1: pints without going to the toilet, you'd get the next
- 33:16Speaker 1: six points for free. And it was the tip and
- 33:20Speaker 1: point for anybody. I was at like five and I'm
- 33:23Speaker 1: fucking nearly gripping the fucking brass bar, just shaking, and
- 33:26Speaker 1: I'm like five and a half pints and I'm like, fuck,
- 33:28Speaker 1: I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. It's
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's nearly fucking as I say, your back teeth were floating.
- 33:33Speaker 1: But our friend that was there and his question was
- 33:39Speaker 1: on like the fifth one, if I drink seven or
- 33:42Speaker 1: eight more, could I can I have that for free?
- 33:44Speaker 4: Like no, you fuck her?
- 33:46Speaker 1: Six is because much the same thing just had. You know,
- 33:50Speaker 1: that gets to a point where you there's certain there's
- 33:53Speaker 1: a certain gradient between different sized men or different sized women.
- 33:57Speaker 1: You go, if you're a good drink, you're a good drinker,
- 33:59Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But then you get to a certain size
- 34:01Speaker 1: of fucking human jar and you're tipping six five plus
- 34:06Speaker 1: twenty two stone plus, You're going, yeah, you're there's just
- 34:10Speaker 1: a lot more flesh to go around there.
- 34:12Speaker 3: You've just got a bigger tank. You just curiousity with
- 34:16Speaker 3: that competition. Tom, If you can drink six pints without
- 34:18Speaker 3: going to the toilet, can you just piss yourself at
- 34:21Speaker 3: the bar?
- 34:21Speaker 1: I suppose that was the other thing. That was one
- 34:23Speaker 1: of those bars that had a sawdust and a dog,
- 34:25Speaker 1: you know, the god of bars. So I'd say I
- 34:27Speaker 1: had I'll be honest with you, Jar, I think it
- 34:29Speaker 1: was a making uppie one on the night until he
- 34:33Speaker 1: walked in to meet us.
- 34:35Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, for a fox sake.
- 34:38Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 34:40Speaker 3: But let's get back to the giant drink. We're gonna
- 34:43Speaker 3: give him one hundred and seventeen because that's what he said,
- 34:46Speaker 3: as best we can. Tilet's in a pub in Philadelphia, right, Pennsylvania,
- 34:51Speaker 3: which would be Philly would be a big wrestling time.
- 34:55Speaker 3: It wouldn't matter because like fucking Andrea would sell it
- 34:57Speaker 3: no matter where he would have went, but Philadelphia up
- 34:59Speaker 3: in the no or East would be up within the
- 35:02Speaker 3: whole Philadelphia, New.
- 35:03Speaker 1: York, Irish people, jer Irish people, a lot of drinkers,
- 35:08Speaker 1: a lot of people like shmuzzles like so you could
- 35:10Speaker 1: see why wrestler would be very, very popular, you know
- 35:12Speaker 1: what I mean.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Well, this was the This was the one night. This
- 35:18Speaker 3: was the one night that people have reported that Andrea
- 35:22Speaker 3: passed out from drinking. This was the night that put
- 35:24Speaker 3: him down for the count. All the other nights where
- 35:27Speaker 3: he would drink one hundred and eight beers with Hulk Hogan,
- 35:29Speaker 3: or he would drink twelve bottles of wine or three
- 35:32Speaker 3: bottles of vodka, whatever it would be. And I'm not
- 35:35Speaker 3: making any of this up. These are all reported stats.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Andrea the Giant could not make it back to his
- 35:41Speaker 3: hotel that night. The wrestlers that were with them did
- 35:44Speaker 3: their best to get a very very drunk forty stone
- 35:49Speaker 3: man as far as they could. They made it to
- 35:52Speaker 3: the lobby of the hotel that they were staying in,
- 35:54Speaker 3: and Andrea could go no further. He went to a
- 35:58Speaker 3: knee to two knees, curled up in a ball and
- 36:01Speaker 3: they love fast.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Asleep like a fucking cow, like a cow, like a cow,
- 36:10Speaker 1: just laying down. You're like, all right, well, there's no
- 36:12Speaker 1: moving her now until the morning.
- 36:14Speaker 4: She's no nowhere.
- 36:16Speaker 3: And in an innovative you ever get yeah, you ever
- 36:19Speaker 3: have a couple of drinks in your time and just
- 36:20Speaker 3: get clever, you know what I mean? Like you're like, wow,
- 36:22Speaker 3: that's a clever thing to do, and I wouldn't have
- 36:23Speaker 3: thought of it sober yep. The lad said, we can't
- 36:27Speaker 3: leave him here like this, but the only thing they
- 36:29Speaker 3: could do was cover them. But given the size of them,
- 36:32Speaker 3: there was nothing to cover him with except there was
- 36:36Speaker 3: a cover on the grand piano in the lobby, and
- 36:40Speaker 3: they took the cover off the grand piano and just
- 36:42Speaker 3: laid it over him, and he slept there till morning
- 36:46Speaker 3: and then got up and drove back or gotten the
- 36:48Speaker 3: bus the tour boss or the trailer or whatever will be,
- 36:51Speaker 3: and just made the next show on the territory the.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Trailer like there was a fucking pony like a horse
- 36:57Speaker 1: bock backed up to the fucking door.
- 36:59Speaker 3: You know, that's the kidding on the square. He fucking
- 37:02Speaker 3: hated traveling because he couldn't travel in cars, he couldn't
- 37:04Speaker 3: travel in buses. Planes were a nightmare, all this kind
- 37:07Speaker 3: of thing. So the promoter up in that corner, Vince
- 37:10Speaker 3: McMahon's father, actually kitted out a trailer for him. They
- 37:13Speaker 3: kidded out like a an r V kind of a
- 37:17Speaker 3: thing that could sit and and and and be driven
- 37:20Speaker 3: around the place. And while he was sitting in it
- 37:23Speaker 3: has been driven around the place. He would just.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Like, who's drawn the beer to him? That's the that's
- 37:31Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gotta get funnier and funnier.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Like, that's the funny thing, like drawn.
- 37:35Speaker 1: The bottles to hit to this fucker, Like the the
- 37:39Speaker 1: what am I doing here? Every every every three minutes,
- 37:43Speaker 1: you're cracking another one more beer?
- 37:47Speaker 3: The fuck. The funny thing about it is that it
- 37:51Speaker 3: would be what would be known in wrestling as the
- 37:53Speaker 3: young boys, you know what I mean, the guys coming
- 37:55Speaker 3: up coming through. Younger people kind of get treated a
- 37:59Speaker 3: bit like dogs. He's so, you're not just part of
- 38:01Speaker 3: the stripes, fuck you and and and that's who they
- 38:05Speaker 3: were at the time. But later on in life, like
- 38:07Speaker 3: one of those lads that was just carrying boxes of
- 38:10Speaker 3: beer to Andrea and getting bonked on the head with
- 38:11Speaker 3: cans was hul Cogan, you know, just when he was
- 38:15Speaker 3: there in the stripes, it was like, you know, yeah,
- 38:17Speaker 3: here you go, Here you go. Andre eventually passed away,
- 38:20Speaker 3: which is terribly sad. And he died like early. He
- 38:23Speaker 3: died like fifty or some such. It must be stressed
- 38:24Speaker 3: when he's sinking one hundred and nineteen beers tom in
- 38:27Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, He's thirty years of age.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Here, Jesus Christ, I remember, I remember, I know, we
- 38:32Speaker 1: we've we had a whole segment called My My Drunks Ever,
- 38:36Speaker 1: and I think the most was like twenty something in
- 38:39Speaker 1: a day, and it was I mean, the hired, like
- 38:41Speaker 1: you know it was. But to conceive even close to
- 38:47Speaker 1: this monster, it's it's it's crazy. The most I ever
- 38:51Speaker 1: drank of my life was twenty four cans in one day.
- 38:53Speaker 1: And once I've talked about it and my drunk even,
- 38:56Speaker 1: that's not touching the That's like, I think forty beers
- 38:59Speaker 1: forty of what Andre would have been drinking. He don't
- 39:01Speaker 1: get take, would you?
- 39:03Speaker 3: He don't you know what it would be As Andrea,
- 39:05Speaker 3: I'll probably say it's just enough to piss you off,
- 39:10Speaker 3: but we wanted to bring you that quick story there
- 39:12Speaker 3: of the drinking progress of Andre the Giant and if
- 39:16Speaker 3: you are Steph, we're all still here on Thursday, and
- 39:19Speaker 3: that's so amazing. Tom, that's not a fucking guarantee. Yeah,
- 39:23Speaker 3: we would love to raise a glass which you find
- 39:25Speaker 3: folks for the one hundred episode. But before all that,
- 39:31Speaker 3: we have won final segment of the Tom and Jerry
- 39:33Speaker 3: Show that we'd like to take you find folks through
- 39:35Speaker 3: on a segment of the show where we take a
- 39:37Speaker 3: look back through all their years in life. Because if
- 39:40Speaker 3: we've said many times on the show, here we were
- 39:42Speaker 3: born early eighties, it's in the mid twenty twenties now.
- 39:44Speaker 3: Seeing a lot of shit come on, a lot of
- 39:46Speaker 3: shit go. We reminisce upon it on a segment called
- 39:48Speaker 3: we Remember when when I was a young lad twenty
- 39:51Speaker 3: or thirty or forty years ago?
- 39:54Speaker 1: Oh do I remember? It's it's we can get self indulgent.
- 40:00Speaker 1: We can get self indulged, because we're bringing this one
- 40:02Speaker 1: round to we remember when there was no podcasts. We
- 40:05Speaker 1: remember when we started podcasts, and we were reminiscent during
- 40:09Speaker 1: the week and our very first even though it's like
- 40:11Speaker 1: Apple and Spotify will really show it because whatever updates
- 40:14Speaker 1: happened at the time because we were with.
- 40:16Speaker 3: The apparently we dropped fifty episodes on the same day
- 40:19Speaker 3: in twenty twenty.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I don't know what it was.
- 40:22Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. There was it a changeover
- 40:25Speaker 1: or something, but it wasn't all the way back to
- 40:27Speaker 1: our very first episode was created anyway, It was recorded
- 40:32Speaker 1: on would you believe Jar nearly ten years ago, the
- 40:35Speaker 1: twenty sixth of April twenty sixteen.
- 40:39Speaker 3: I would well believe it, buddy, I would well believe it.
- 40:43Speaker 3: Here's the thing, folks, It's fair to say when we
- 40:46Speaker 3: were growing up there were no podcasts, no, and there
- 40:48Speaker 3: were certainly no comedy podcasts. There were various things that
- 40:52Speaker 3: I think lent themselves to podcast Rory Tom and things
- 40:55Speaker 3: that we would have had a lot of heating. So
- 40:57Speaker 3: when Tom Oman he came to me eleven odd years
- 40:59Speaker 3: ago and said, hey, do you want to jump in
- 41:01Speaker 3: and have a podcast? And I was like, yeah, okay,
- 41:03Speaker 3: go on fucking why not? So that took me a
- 41:06Speaker 3: year to fucking reply because I was a slow minded
- 41:08Speaker 3: person back then, and I got and for nothing as well,
- 41:13Speaker 3: we were just about to have the second baby.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a bit going.
- 41:17Speaker 3: On with had a bit going on. What amazes me
- 41:20Speaker 3: is that we launched our first episode I think like
- 41:24Speaker 3: six weeks after my daughter was born. So I don't
- 41:27Speaker 3: know what kind of balls I had back then to
- 41:30Speaker 3: talk to my you know, my wife who had just
- 41:34Speaker 3: given birth to a baby and had another kid running
- 41:38Speaker 3: around the house as well, and turn around and go like,
- 41:40Speaker 3: come here, listen, you seem to have this in hand.
- 41:41Speaker 3: When I'm gonna get home from work, I'm fucking off
- 41:43Speaker 3: to record a podcast.
- 41:44Speaker 1: But that was that was the thing we didn't. This
- 41:46Speaker 1: is where the evolution even of podcasts is.
- 41:48Speaker 3: We didn't.
- 41:49Speaker 1: There was no option to There was no Zoom option.
- 41:53Speaker 1: There was no and even Zoom started, it was shy first,
- 41:56Speaker 1: you know, was read choppy and stuff.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Now you remember when Zoom was.
- 41:59Speaker 1: Skype And now we've cleaned microphones. Everything's clean. But we
- 42:03Speaker 1: we recorded a test episode and in Jerry's house where
- 42:08Speaker 1: we set up a H two Zoom and we just
- 42:10Speaker 1: set it up. The company's Zoom, not the the application Zoom,
- 42:14Speaker 1: but this company. You know.
- 42:16Speaker 3: I don't want to interrupt you there, buddy, but I
- 42:18Speaker 3: went talking to someone the other day goes like, you
- 42:20Speaker 3: know you can record on a zoom if you have
- 42:21Speaker 3: a zoom to take the zoom. Yeah, fuck notion what
- 42:24Speaker 3: I was talking about.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Well, they would, they wouldn't put if they were camera people,
- 42:27Speaker 1: they would because they still make very good ones in
- 42:29Speaker 1: them and they're so you can clip those the top
- 42:31Speaker 1: of a camera and you actually put in four hit
- 42:33Speaker 1: Accel R microphones and everything in the big ones are good.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Are still very much sought after. But we set it
- 42:39Speaker 1: up in the in your sittroom and we did a
- 42:41Speaker 1: test and I don't know where it is. I cannot find.
- 42:44Speaker 1: We did a test one while building the buggy.
- 42:49Speaker 3: I so happened to have a pushchair to be put
- 42:53Speaker 3: together for again nice stress my infant daughter. And we
- 42:57Speaker 3: just said, look, let's just set it up together. And
- 43:00Speaker 3: it was disappointingly short because really it was just clipping
- 43:03Speaker 3: four wheels onto a buggy took no time whatsoever. I
- 43:05Speaker 3: was hoping it was going to be a big complex ike.
- 43:07Speaker 1: I think it was a good idea of yours. You're like,
- 43:10Speaker 1: let's see, this will take a bit of a bit
- 43:11Speaker 1: of time. We're like, two was to construction. Mind the
- 43:15Speaker 1: people with, ah, right, that's done, clicking away we went.
- 43:19Speaker 1: But you know what, for all the ability that we
- 43:21Speaker 1: would added in the capability of podcasting, it was kind
- 43:24Speaker 1: of entertaining, and I remember listening back to it, but
- 43:27Speaker 1: it would be fun to listen if I could find
- 43:29Speaker 1: it out. But it could be.
- 43:31Speaker 3: In the But it gave us enough, It gave us
- 43:34Speaker 3: enough juice in the tank to say that we could
- 43:36Speaker 3: make an episode.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Now.
- 43:37Speaker 3: We all we often talk here on the show about
- 43:39Speaker 3: the forgotten episodes. We're we're we're looking at the culmination
- 43:43Speaker 3: of a one hundred, one hundred episode run straight. Yes,
- 43:47Speaker 3: But before that, me and Tom used to release batches
- 43:49Speaker 3: of episodes, like six or six episodes over six weeks,
- 43:54Speaker 3: and then let it sit for six months, and then
- 43:56Speaker 3: do eight episodes and then let it's six set for
- 43:58Speaker 3: six months like not for nothing. As well, we were
- 44:01Speaker 3: both giging comedians at the time. You were a full
- 44:04Speaker 3: time giging comedian and I was as best as I
- 44:07Speaker 3: could beat the full time which I am not these days.
- 44:10Speaker 3: So there wasn't a guarantee that we would have a
- 44:12Speaker 3: steady recording night every night of the week, and we
- 44:15Speaker 3: couldn't commit to doing this, and the last thing I
- 44:16Speaker 3: wanted to be was like one episode here and maybe
- 44:19Speaker 3: another one in a fortnight, and then an episode and
- 44:22Speaker 3: then nothing for three weeks. So like, but we could
- 44:24Speaker 3: record six episodes over two days and release them over
- 44:29Speaker 3: six weeks.
- 44:29Speaker 1: We did to give people a context to who might
- 44:32Speaker 1: be long term listeners. You're like, but why would what?
- 44:34Speaker 1: What was? What was the trouble? Ironically we lived far
- 44:36Speaker 1: closer to each other then that we have done this
- 44:40Speaker 1: last hundred episodes. But it was because there wasn't a
- 44:43Speaker 1: de skype As ship pure shit like, and there was
- 44:47Speaker 1: no zoom, so we physically had to go and meet
- 44:50Speaker 1: and I would often meet Jerry off the dart I
- 44:53Speaker 1: would park up was a black rock and stuff. It
- 44:55Speaker 1: was there.
- 44:55Speaker 3: There was various train stations, found.
- 44:58Speaker 1: A couple of weird doggers just covers at.
- 45:00Speaker 3: The train stations here.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Yeah, car, but the only thing was the car made
- 45:05Speaker 1: for a decent studio because it is soundproof anyways, made
- 45:08Speaker 1: for the audio of.
- 45:09Speaker 3: Those earlier episodes. If you're if you care to go back,
- 45:11Speaker 3: like right now, we're we do a little setup. We've
- 45:14Speaker 3: got good MIC's here, you know, good setups. We won't
- 45:17Speaker 3: record if the internet is patchy if there's a storm
- 45:19Speaker 3: out or anything like that. Back then, we're recording in
- 45:22Speaker 3: the car, running with the winter, you know. Yeah, I
- 45:32Speaker 3: remember we recorded a couple of episodes driving the gigs
- 45:34Speaker 3: and you just put the zoom on the on the
- 45:35Speaker 3: dashboard and troll.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So funny the sound of the indicator. I'll never forget
- 45:39Speaker 1: how on an opful fucking whatever it was at the
- 45:46Speaker 1: time I was driving and it's sound of the beast
- 45:49Speaker 1: and indicators. We were trying.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Yeah, but but but they're good times. And the older
- 45:54Speaker 3: episodes that there, we fished them out every now and
- 45:56Speaker 3: then for for people to listen to, and we tried
- 45:57Speaker 3: a couple of things, you know, it was kind of Magazini,
- 46:01Speaker 3: not unlike what the show looks like today. And then
- 46:03Speaker 3: there was, of course a good run there. Of about
- 46:05Speaker 3: twenty episodes we did were the worst specific subjects that
- 46:11Speaker 3: we talked about. So we did an hour on we
- 46:14Speaker 3: did two hours on Fred Dibner, and we did three
- 46:16Speaker 3: hours on toolbox legends and all this kind of thing.
- 46:19Speaker 3: And I did love those episodes, but I gotta tell you, Tom,
- 46:22Speaker 3: they were unsustainable. You couldn't put one of them out
- 46:25Speaker 3: everywhere you couldn't.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Not every week you couldn't because what they were was
- 46:28Speaker 1: they were very much us. They were on brand for us,
- 46:31Speaker 1: like and without a producer really going digging out and
- 46:34Speaker 1: we sitting down and it is it's amazing for the
- 46:36Speaker 1: people that can that do do it full time that
- 46:39Speaker 1: they can sit down, you know, they would have it
- 46:41Speaker 1: and they were just putting their lap as a full
- 46:43Speaker 1: thing and you'd have to sit down for a meeting
- 46:44Speaker 1: and you'd create. I think they were pretty tasty for
- 46:47Speaker 1: what we I think we did pretty good. Yeah, the
- 46:50Speaker 1: time was straight because we would have a lot of
- 46:51Speaker 1: notes on them and stuff like that. I still have
- 46:53Speaker 1: even the other notes written and I.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Have I have like you know, say for fred Dibner,
- 46:57Speaker 3: which was like come come the ladder end of it
- 46:59Speaker 3: was like three hours straight. I fucking rolled all that out,
- 47:03Speaker 3: longhand before we sat down.
- 47:05Speaker 1: And you can tell though, because there's still huge admiration
- 47:10Speaker 1: on because the clips are on YouTube just with a
- 47:13Speaker 1: flat screen YouTube that won't take a link now anymore.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It was brilliant for for people listening before because again,
- 47:20Speaker 1: if we're the producer to actually we're recording on video here,
- 47:22Speaker 1: but we don't really put the video out, even though
- 47:24Speaker 1: it is very much the case in point. I remember
- 47:27Speaker 1: a guy he was he was gonna, you've a podcast.
- 47:29Speaker 1: I mean it's heard of the podcast. Where do I
- 47:31Speaker 1: get to watch it? I'm like, no, the whole idea
- 47:34Speaker 1: of a podcast is that it's audio based. It was like, what, like, what, man,
- 47:39Speaker 1: you're working, when do you have time to be watching
- 47:41Speaker 1: the video of a thing when I'm not watching? I
- 47:45Speaker 1: would what does it make a difference two blokes faces
- 47:48Speaker 1: just listen to us? Ah? Never he thought about it
- 47:51Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's an audio focus, but it's for
- 47:55Speaker 1: for other people. It's it's a completely different medium like
- 47:57Speaker 1: bells and whistles attached. They got to see it. Now,
- 47:59Speaker 1: there's a lot I've performances, I you know, like to
- 48:03Speaker 1: see how some of the biggest ones in Ireland have
- 48:05Speaker 1: even gone. You're like, holy shit, you're selling out the
- 48:07Speaker 1: three Arena, like the two Johnny's the night I opened
- 48:10Speaker 1: for the two of them at there and I helped
- 48:12Speaker 1: them start that one that they had. Now they took
- 48:15Speaker 1: the ball and run it. They had a great producers.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Like it went from this too. You know, literally the
- 48:20Speaker 1: same thing in your fucking car inside the garage to
- 48:23Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, there's ten thousand people here fucking wanting to
- 48:27Speaker 1: see a podcast. Would you're like, it has transformed from
- 48:32Speaker 1: what I suppose the original thing without that to sound like, yeah,
- 48:36Speaker 1: but but it's not what you know it's supposed to be.
- 48:39Speaker 1: It is exactly whatever people want it to be. It's
- 48:42Speaker 1: a show. Now, you know that it's a show.
- 48:44Speaker 3: And in what we have, we have never abandoned our roots.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Tom Oh, but let me tell you if anybody else
- 48:52Speaker 3: there out there wants those to abandon our roots all
- 48:54Speaker 3: fucking abandoned.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Yeah, like we said we should do a thrashing festival
- 48:58Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, something that would be
- 49:00Speaker 1: right on brand for.
- 49:01Speaker 3: Us, like Wells. That brings me to the next portion.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Now we've got the history of the Tom and Jerry Show,
- 49:06Speaker 3: the short version of it there, and you're welcome to
- 49:10Speaker 3: listen to the older episode.
- 49:11Speaker 1: And that would pretty much tell you what's the great
- 49:13Speaker 1: thing about talking about the history of the Tom and
- 49:14Speaker 1: Jerry Show. Literally on the platform you're listening to right now,
- 49:17Speaker 1: your thumb will get you all the history you need
- 49:20Speaker 1: on the Tom of Jerry Show.
- 49:22Speaker 3: Just simple as that.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Just roll backwards.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Now, the future of the Tom and Jerry Show is
- 49:26Speaker 3: a different story. This is not a Swan song. And
- 49:29Speaker 3: providing that not too much shit blows up this evening.
- 49:33Speaker 1: We should be all right, Should be all right, should
- 49:35Speaker 1: be all right.
- 49:37Speaker 3: You can listen to us in the wastelands going forward. Now,
- 49:42Speaker 3: we had always said that we would shake up the
- 49:43Speaker 3: show every fifty episodes or so, and you might remember
- 49:46Speaker 3: that on episode fifty gone by we shock up a
- 49:49Speaker 3: couple of things and introduced a couple of new segments.
- 49:51Speaker 3: I don't know that we're going to do that now
- 49:52Speaker 3: because I think we're in a nice groove and I
- 49:54Speaker 3: feel they're still still meat on the bone.
- 49:58Speaker 1: Well, I have noticed people are very very much like
- 50:00Speaker 1: and we want to like, we're doing what we like
- 50:03Speaker 1: to do. But at the same time you have to
- 50:04Speaker 1: be conscious that that people are listening. And that's the
- 50:06Speaker 1: big thing about podcast is that when you find your
- 50:08Speaker 1: groove and you find your niche, we know that some
- 50:11Speaker 1: sort of people that listen to this are exactly like
- 50:14Speaker 1: us in that sense, do you know what I mean?
- 50:16Speaker 3: Like there's they don't suddenly want fashion corner, you.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Know, our order to do on heavy politics and stuff
- 50:22Speaker 1: like that, they're just like, you know what, take me away,
- 50:24Speaker 1: take me, take me away from the city. They just
- 50:28Speaker 1: want that every just just an hour of these two
- 50:31Speaker 1: fucking knuckleheads just spouting almost almost always at least twenty
- 50:39Speaker 1: points of totally inaccurate, fucking facts where we just make speculation,
- 50:44Speaker 1: wild fucking rumors.
- 50:46Speaker 3: Please please don't fact check us on anything we say.
- 50:50Speaker 3: Ten years ago.
- 50:51Speaker 1: We think that's the truth of it. Ten years ago.
- 50:55Speaker 1: To me, you could have said, Tom, we started this
- 50:57Speaker 1: twenty years ago.
- 50:59Speaker 3: Ah, this podcast here in ten years.
- 51:03Speaker 1: But the evolution of the podcast went from I thing
- 51:06Speaker 1: that used to happen years ago. Now I did a
- 51:10Speaker 1: mini tour with Tom Green. You remember Tom Green, not
- 51:16Speaker 1: you know, a great a very extreme actor and stuff.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Not extreme actor, but just.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Shock kind of guy.
- 51:23Speaker 3: His stand up, he had a moment, he.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Had a moment, He married Drew Barrymore. He was the
- 51:27Speaker 1: perfect he was escape battle boarder and he was He
- 51:31Speaker 1: got super famous for Freddie got fingered, he got super
- 51:34Speaker 1: famous for road Trip, he got super famous for whatever
- 51:38Speaker 1: other bits and pieces. His stand up was.
- 51:40Speaker 3: At this point, you either know Tom Green and you
- 51:42Speaker 3: don't know down Yeah.
- 51:43Speaker 1: His stand up was you know it was it was
- 51:45Speaker 1: what it was, but he was he was one of
- 51:48Speaker 1: the first because he even built a server mini server
- 51:52Speaker 1: farm in his house, the whole lot because he knew
- 51:55Speaker 1: he wouldn't have the bandwidth to put it out. But
- 51:57Speaker 1: what he what he was spring by and other guys
- 52:00Speaker 1: comics were coming over to his house going what is this,
- 52:02Speaker 1: So you're going to make a TV show, radio show
- 52:05Speaker 1: in your house. They were like, it's not really a
- 52:08Speaker 1: radio show. It's the Internet was brand new, and it
- 52:11Speaker 1: was like, it's this is going to be harbored on
- 52:13Speaker 1: the internet. They're like, show what's on the internet or
- 52:16Speaker 1: not Internet, Like, you don't get it. The Internet's going
- 52:20Speaker 1: to be big. Well, I'm going to harbor these there
- 52:22Speaker 1: and people can listen to them from anywhere in the
- 52:23Speaker 1: world at any time they ever want them. No, that's
- 52:26Speaker 1: not how radio works. You listen, money, listen, No trust me.
- 52:30Speaker 1: And where that where that had originally come from was
- 52:33Speaker 1: it was comics And remember Bill Burde a couple more
- 52:35Speaker 1: than it did it where they would phone in to
- 52:38Speaker 1: a PO box that you and me and everybody else
- 52:41Speaker 1: could subscribe to and just listen to them talk at nauseum.
- 52:45Speaker 1: And it was really solo solo stuff. So it was
- 52:47Speaker 1: really good for practicing podcasts, real solo stuff. And they
- 52:50Speaker 1: would just go, ah, and you know what.
- 52:52Speaker 6: The other fucking thing about fucking taxis in the fucking city,
- 52:55Speaker 6: they can go fuck themselves and they'd leave a half
- 52:57Speaker 6: an hour of a rant or a talk, maybe two
- 52:58Speaker 6: fellas talking, and would just pay to listen into it.
- 53:02Speaker 1: This is all around the time of paying for h
- 53:05Speaker 1: fucking phone rings and stuff like that. Yeah, real analogy
- 53:10Speaker 1: at the time. And that's how you do it.
- 53:12Speaker 3: I mean, like you know, and and and we always
- 53:14Speaker 3: we always like to touch on the things that we've
- 53:16Speaker 3: seen and come and go. I mean, like some of
- 53:18Speaker 3: them are outlandish. People say, what do you mean you
- 53:20Speaker 3: were there before mirke Wibbs. Uh what podcast? It really was?
- 53:24Speaker 3: Even the word podcast comes from where people were listening
- 53:27Speaker 3: to it. It was a broadcast that you listen to
- 53:30Speaker 3: on your iPod.
- 53:31Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, simple as that.
- 53:33Speaker 3: And now, of course you're going to get a portion
- 53:35Speaker 3: of the autis going like, what's an iPod.
- 53:39Speaker 1: That's where where it's where all your Spotify lived, that's
- 53:44Speaker 1: Spotify playlists, that's where they lived but didn't live anywhere else.
- 53:48Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you I'll tell you. And I didn't
- 53:49Speaker 3: know Tom Green was that involved in the evolution of podcasts.
- 53:52Speaker 3: But if you want to push further back home, and
- 53:55Speaker 3: I think this is what greatly appeals to you and
- 53:57Speaker 3: me for what we're doing here on a podcast, ah,
- 54:01Speaker 3: is like the most earliest form of this, one can say,
- 54:07Speaker 3: might be cbe radio communication.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Yes yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 54:12Speaker 3: Or you're just putting it out into the world, your
- 54:15Speaker 3: ramblings and your thoughts as you're driving up and down
- 54:17Speaker 3: the road on the Pork Chop Express. Yeah, and whoever's
- 54:22Speaker 3: out there listens to it. Just now, I want to
- 54:24Speaker 3: listen in and hear what Jack Burton has to say.
- 54:28Speaker 3: That's that's that's I think where we came to it.
- 54:31Speaker 3: That what appeals to us, like, oh we I know.
- 54:34Speaker 3: I certainly was brought up on smoking in the band
- 54:36Speaker 3: and big Trouble in China and all this kind of thing,
- 54:39Speaker 3: and I always thought, wow, so those guys just are
- 54:42Speaker 3: just jib jabbing and chatting and people are listening and
- 54:45Speaker 3: thinking that it's great and chiming in and having a
- 54:47Speaker 3: good time. So when a good buddy Tom O man,
- 54:51Speaker 3: he comes to me and says, you want to have
- 54:52Speaker 3: a podcast and be like, yeah, fucking hell yeah, why not.
- 54:55Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing because the notion that radio is
- 54:59Speaker 1: for good morning everybody, welcome to the babusy, you know,
- 55:03Speaker 1: that's who radio is for radios for radio trained people
- 55:07Speaker 1: who did broadcasting didn't course swear nothing. Then you went
- 55:11Speaker 1: and you know, when the ads were coming and stuff
- 55:13Speaker 1: like that, like I did. I did a brief bit
- 55:16Speaker 1: in radio, and they tried to train me in and
- 55:20Speaker 1: sometimes like I know.
- 55:22Speaker 4: And I'm no good at a sport or whatever.
- 55:24Speaker 1: I know, I just fucking know, and I'm like, this
- 55:26Speaker 1: ain't But if you put me on the air with
- 55:28Speaker 1: a bunch of other people, both bump bum bum bum
- 55:31Speaker 1: bum bum, I'll be lining them up bang bang bang.
- 55:32Speaker 1: And I used to do every Monday morning with what
- 55:35Speaker 1: Jennifer and Bernard and oh shit, yeah that's right. And
- 55:38Speaker 1: then they had a restructuring with of course, and I'm
- 55:43Speaker 1: sure it didn't it didn't. You know, there's no skin
- 55:45Speaker 1: off my notes. They weren't hardly paying me a penny anyway,
- 55:47Speaker 1: but it was nice to celtickets. But anyway they they did,
- 55:51Speaker 1: they were like they were very courteous to me, and
- 55:53Speaker 1: a couple of them showed just went look sitting here
- 55:55Speaker 1: for half an hour with me, right, so say you're
- 55:57Speaker 1: there's an ad coming now. I suppose they were throwing
- 55:59Speaker 1: me in to fucking this immediate level for a fellow
- 56:03Speaker 1: who knew nothing, let alone beginner level. They were they
- 56:06Speaker 1: were asking you to go into competitions. So it was
- 56:09Speaker 1: I just knew straight I would this would be too
- 56:11Speaker 1: big of a jump. I would not be able to
- 56:12Speaker 1: do this by myself, not even close, you know what
- 56:15Speaker 1: I mean. And I also looked at Temporrellian and Bernard,
- 56:18Speaker 1: knew them who had nothing to do it. What was
- 56:20Speaker 1: coming up? It was all Keith Wallach was running the
- 56:23Speaker 1: fucking machinery. But oh, and this isn't I like it
- 56:28Speaker 1: to a degree. I like the bit of banter we're
- 56:30Speaker 1: having in here, but I felt like there was handcuffs
- 56:33Speaker 1: on everything that you want.
- 56:34Speaker 3: To do, which there would be. Yeah.
- 56:36Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, my seven jeargo was
- 56:38Speaker 1: so we can be Evan and jeffin about whatever we want,
- 56:40Speaker 1: and if only two people listened, then so be it.
- 56:43Speaker 3: But the other end of it as well, Tom and
- 56:44Speaker 3: again what we would have seen coming up was was
- 56:47Speaker 3: the notion of a pirate radio station. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 56:49Speaker 3: pirate radio station where you could say or do whatever
- 56:52Speaker 3: you want. I remember there was a movie in the eighties.
- 56:53Speaker 3: I don't know if it's lived long in anybody's memory,
- 56:55Speaker 3: but was called Pump Up the Jam and it had
- 56:58Speaker 3: like Christian Slater.
- 56:59Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. And then there was another one,
- 57:01Speaker 1: wasn't there that Steve Coogan made No.
- 57:05Speaker 3: On Up the Way Ship a rock. It was just
- 57:08Speaker 3: this whole notion that you just had this wild public
- 57:12Speaker 3: access say whatever you want. Nobody knows who are just
- 57:15Speaker 3: this this anonymous voice on the radio talking mad ship
- 57:19Speaker 3: about whatever or whatever you wanted. You know that stays
- 57:23Speaker 3: with you, and you know, you know that's why I was.
- 57:27Speaker 3: You tell me that you're putting together podcast and I've
- 57:29Speaker 3: got like my infant daughter in my hand, and I'm like, no,
- 57:33Speaker 3: by pet, gotta go fucking But there is that friend
- 57:37Speaker 3: Tom starting a radio show.
- 57:39Speaker 1: Just like that. When I was your formative years are
- 57:43Speaker 1: in your teens and stuff, and I took a lot
- 57:45Speaker 1: of things. I mean, I'll slag America left right and center.
- 57:48Speaker 1: But for the for the summer I lived there, it
- 57:51Speaker 1: was a very formative time. It was the summer sixteen,
- 57:56Speaker 1: but there was a lot of there was a huge
- 57:59Speaker 1: cultural jump from what Ireland had gone on and what
- 58:04Speaker 1: they had gone on. There was like, I don't know
- 58:06Speaker 1: what was opening that there was. There was a couple
- 58:08Speaker 1: of great radio stations that were boarderline, very close to
- 58:13Speaker 1: the edge with how some of their subject matters, some
- 58:16Speaker 1: of the very cool funny stuff they would do, some
- 58:19Speaker 1: of the pranks they were pulling on each other, and
- 58:21Speaker 1: we had nothing to that standard. And we eat a couple,
- 58:24Speaker 1: but you know, you've might Mike Murphy's and stuff like
- 58:26Speaker 1: that all for the old people, like, but this was
- 58:29Speaker 1: super cool young people stuff and they were nothing like
- 58:32Speaker 1: the radio stations we had. And Baltazar, I remember was
- 58:36Speaker 1: one of their names. Was it Rocks Pebbleton, Baltazar on
- 58:40Speaker 1: the morning in Boston Boston City FM or whatever the.
- 58:43Speaker 4: Fuck it was.
- 58:44Speaker 1: But I remember seeing they were just so cheeky and
- 58:47Speaker 1: how they got away with things like.
- 58:50Speaker 3: They were addictive, like different, a different animal.
- 58:53Speaker 1: I was tuned in them every morning in my little
- 58:56Speaker 1: fucking booths where I was doing security. I mean, I
- 58:58Speaker 1: say that they were the only thing just about keep
- 59:00Speaker 1: me away, but I definitely walked away with a different
- 59:03Speaker 1: notion in my head going there. If there was a
- 59:06Speaker 1: way to be that cool, or at least the liberty
- 59:10Speaker 1: in being that trying to be that cool, would you
- 59:12Speaker 1: would you'd be hamstrong, left right and center and any
- 59:16Speaker 1: any structured yeah, no news broadcast. I mean they're all
- 59:20Speaker 1: owned by particularly one gay now well.
- 59:22Speaker 3: I mean to get away from him. With that being said,
- 59:27Speaker 3: if any structured broadcast entity wants to throw a couple
- 59:30Speaker 3: of shekels their way, you watch us a band and
- 59:32Speaker 3: air Morrows, Oh my god, run out and call the show,
- 59:36Speaker 3: and you fucking.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Want whatever you want, whatever you want, you.
- 59:39Speaker 3: Can call it that.
- 59:41Speaker 1: Tom and Jerry, I mean that I need I need it. No,
- 59:45Speaker 1: I would last fourteen. I mean I've they've let me
- 59:49Speaker 1: pushed the end up a small but on radio stations
- 59:52Speaker 1: here in Cork and hearing the Limerick but even a
- 59:55Speaker 1: few times like they're going, is Christian Man's a bit
- 59:58Speaker 1: of a fucking live wires And because of course I
- 59:59Speaker 1: come straight in with Tom and Jerry energy like oh yeah,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they're going, Oh Jesus Christ,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: we better start running this thirty seconds behind because this

- 1:00:36Speaker 3: back here next week with another wonderful episode. Here's to

- 1:01:59Speaker 1: can find, but he said he hadn't thought about the
