- 0:19Speaker 1: sight you should have seen. They used to call a
- 0:22Speaker 1: bolt and Bessie not to be messed with. I also
- 0:26Speaker 1: hear that the Six Nations is up and running. I
- 0:29Speaker 1: wouldn't be much of a man for sport myself, but
- 0:32Speaker 1: if I were to throw an eye over and had
- 0:34Speaker 1: seem in me, most likely Island, based purely on the
- 0:38Speaker 1: fact that they're red Coach used to hang doors for

- 1:14Speaker 2: Fucking hell do they what Jerry.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Every week we're like, how will we start the show? Tom?

- 1:22Speaker 3: Great?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Battle do yeah? Yeah? Do you know what? I was
- 1:25Speaker 2: pumped to the gills because I'm getting a brand new desk.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I sent Jerry a picture of it last night. I
- 1:29Speaker 2: send you send it on. You can put it up
- 1:30Speaker 2: on the watch cup, but I want I prefer a
- 1:32Speaker 2: coal fired one. But it's an electric one that goes
- 1:35Speaker 2: up and down. For what reason, it's just better than
- 1:38Speaker 2: the heat of that I had. And today was looking
- 1:42Speaker 2: up chair, got a text off the mother. She was
- 1:44Speaker 2: driving up the road. She'd been in the in the
- 1:48Speaker 2: watch McCallon side to go up and for whatever reason,
- 1:50Speaker 2: they give her a bag of free bagf notes. You know,
- 1:53Speaker 2: none of us, the customer, none of us have cattle.
- 1:56Speaker 2: So I brought it home. Goats the only thing they
- 1:58Speaker 2: would tempt those consu where they had fucking gone while
- 2:01Speaker 2: calf nuts. Turns out their fucking love calf nuts only
- 2:04Speaker 2: because they're not meant to have them, you know the
- 2:06Speaker 2: kind of way.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Well this is it's in the name calf nuts, not
- 2:08Speaker 3: gont goat nuts.
- 2:10Speaker 2: It was it was an evening, so I sent Jerry
- 2:12Speaker 2: on and I was probably heavily breathing into it after
- 2:14Speaker 2: running down Dai up fucking hill and trying to sort
- 2:17Speaker 2: this bastard. It's becoming a recurring thing, and everybody now
- 2:20Speaker 2: seems to be really invested in these goats because they're
- 2:23Speaker 2: hilarious to see my pain on the cap.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I love to see you run after these coats. There's
- 2:28Speaker 3: some Keystone cop shit, buddy.
- 2:29Speaker 2: They're just doing a great If they weren't eating the
- 2:32Speaker 2: rushes and briars, then we'd then we'd be having kebabs chair.
- 2:36Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. If they weren't doing that, I
- 2:38Speaker 2: would be Yeah, I'd be it simply simple to roasting
- 2:42Speaker 2: on an open fire. Yeah, you're fucking talking. But other
- 2:45Speaker 2: than that, I'm in good form.
- 2:45Speaker 3: How are you?
- 2:46Speaker 2: You are right?
- 2:46Speaker 3: I'm all right, And you brought it. You know, we're
- 2:49Speaker 3: not going to get into we remember when all this
- 2:51Speaker 3: early in the show, but when you said calf nuts.
- 2:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this now, Tom, I'm gonna tell
- 2:56Speaker 3: you this now for nothing.
- 2:57Speaker 2: For anybody listening. Now, this this is feed in the
- 3:00Speaker 2: shape of those little pullet pellets. You're little like what
- 3:03Speaker 2: goes into what goes into a wood pellet stove. Only
- 3:06Speaker 2: it's for it's edible for calves. Yeah, not the muscles
- 3:11Speaker 2: at the lower end of your legs, actually baby cows.
- 3:15Speaker 2: You used to eat calfnuts. It was the molasses.
- 3:19Speaker 3: See this is no no, like I wouldn't eat them
- 3:21Speaker 3: by the handful. But like if you were up on
- 3:23Speaker 3: the farm, the cousins farm, like you know, you'd be
- 3:25Speaker 3: sort of there in each other the half nuts, and
- 3:27Speaker 3: you'd'd nibble lot a couple of half nuts.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Like a zin, like a tobacco, like a sin. Yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 2: it's like a little a little meat he's in. Just
- 3:35Speaker 2: pop on it for anybody who just crashed their vehicle
- 3:37Speaker 2: or whatever what the fuck it is to eat. I agree,
- 3:40Speaker 2: how country can they? This is a very very common
- 3:44Speaker 2: place common thing. Were you dares a friend or a
- 3:46Speaker 2: cousin to eat calf But you know what they tend
- 3:50Speaker 2: to be the sweet smell because there's molasses through it,
- 3:52Speaker 2: so they tend to the they were horrible like no, no, no,
- 3:55Speaker 2: they're there's the they're quite angry, you know what I mean?
- 3:58Speaker 2: When you do. The one that I was always had
- 4:01Speaker 2: no problem would take a pocket full of was presto.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Did you ever come across presto?
- 4:04Speaker 3: What was presto?
- 4:05Speaker 2: Presto? Would It was essentially Frosty's right. It was smashed
- 4:09Speaker 2: but really hard, like it wasn't treated for a child's
- 4:13Speaker 2: bowl in the morning. This was meant for cattle. But
- 4:16Speaker 2: it was a sweet treat of smashed down corn. It
- 4:20Speaker 2: was flattening corn flakes?
- 4:22Speaker 3: Is that what we would have called? Up there? With
- 4:23Speaker 3: a crunchy or as crunchy A separating.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Couldn't tell you. I don't know. Presto was that I'm
- 4:27Speaker 2: guessing the brand and there was a brand once upon
- 4:29Speaker 2: a time, might much like Uber or Jeep. You know,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm guessing. And then it was, but it was all
- 4:35Speaker 2: It was hard as fucking flint. But you throw it
- 4:37Speaker 2: into them out there and funk away. I'd say, be
- 4:40Speaker 2: good stuff for coming off the fags. You know what
- 4:41Speaker 2: kind of way it keep your mouth and handed way?
- 4:44Speaker 3: You know, it sounds like it's as enjoyable as sucking
- 4:46Speaker 3: a rock.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Tom, Well, here's the thing. You're you'd be fair regular
- 4:49Speaker 2: after it.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Well, okay, do you know what I mean?
- 4:51Speaker 2: You may have to ship in the middle of a
- 4:52Speaker 2: field while walking home, but you'll be regular nobody ever

- 5:00Speaker 3: Well come here, yeah, there you go. I'm Jerry McBride.
- 5:03Speaker 3: That's Tom o' matt well. On occasion, we on occasion

- 5:11Speaker 3: opening of this bit, here you go. We are a
- 5:14Speaker 3: pair of comedians, Tom working me lapsed. I don't know
- 5:18Speaker 3: why I'm explaining the show for people, because if you
- 5:21Speaker 3: if you were a new listener, you'd have run for
- 5:23Speaker 3: the fucking hills.
- 5:24Speaker 2: To be fair, we're one hundred and hundred episodes into
- 5:26Speaker 2: this new and we're probably about two hundred episodes into
- 5:29Speaker 2: the overall thing. I think at this stage, jaredy, they
- 5:33Speaker 2: got it.
- 5:34Speaker 3: I hate you'd like to think you had at least
- 5:36Speaker 3: one new le You never.
- 5:36Speaker 2: See never, you never say never. Jerry has appeared on
- 5:39Speaker 2: stages in recent times with me doing stand up. So
- 5:42Speaker 2: don't be fucking selling yourself that fucking chart, right, So, yeah,
- 5:46Speaker 2: you know it isn't that the flames aren't completely you
- 5:49Speaker 2: rub over the ashes. Service Often you find an out
- 5:51Speaker 2: member of McBride just looking back Ato going he guys,
- 5:53Speaker 2: who's who books that? Yeah?
- 5:55Speaker 3: Oh god. Every now and then yeah, I say, I'm
- 5:58Speaker 3: a lapsed comedian, Like I say, you know, I haven't
- 6:01Speaker 3: thrown the boots in the fire. Just yes, if you've
- 6:03Speaker 3: got to get going mail mail, we'll talk. But in
- 6:05Speaker 3: the meantime we bring our comedy to you in the
- 6:07Speaker 3: form of a podcast which you are listening to, and
- 6:10Speaker 3: every week we delve into a couple of bits and pieces,
- 6:13Speaker 3: such as in the first segment of the show, where
- 6:15Speaker 3: we really jump into the news that happens. The what
- 6:18Speaker 3: have you is in fact the weekly what have you.
- 6:20Speaker 3: This is a very complicated case mod you know, a
- 6:22Speaker 3: lot of ian's, a lot of outs, a lot of
- 6:24Speaker 3: what have you, and a lot of strands to keep
- 6:27Speaker 3: in my head. Man.
- 6:28Speaker 2: So as everybody knows, Jerry is a is a sports
- 6:34Speaker 2: of fobe the right word, because you do, you do
- 6:36Speaker 2: pay attention to these things, like.
- 6:39Speaker 3: I am vaguely aware of the doing of sports.
- 6:42Speaker 2: You are a vaguely aware of the doing of sports,
- 6:44Speaker 2: and like, look, I'm not going to push you on
- 6:46Speaker 2: all sports, but we've gone down through the you know,
- 6:48Speaker 2: we went through I remember when of the eurosports and
- 6:50Speaker 2: stuff like that. Last week it was a ski jump.
- 6:53Speaker 2: But like I guarantee you Jerry can't name you know,
- 6:56Speaker 2: the last ten world champions, ski jumpers, like either, like
- 6:58Speaker 2: you know these these the reality of it, He's a
- 7:01Speaker 2: fair weather the last five World Cup winners, Buddy. I know,
- 7:04Speaker 2: I know, he's a fair weather fan at best when
- 7:06Speaker 2: it comes to these kind of thing. But look at
- 7:09Speaker 2: closer to home, and I try this every year with him,
- 7:11Speaker 2: and at some stage I'm gonna get him to crack.
- 7:13Speaker 2: But I just got to. I had to find a
- 7:15Speaker 2: route and to get him, Jerry to enjoy the Six
- 7:17Speaker 2: Nations doesn't have to be rugby all year round. Here
- 7:22Speaker 2: just is just the Six Nations just because there's it's
- 7:26Speaker 2: the WrestleMania. And now this is how I'm gonna go
- 7:29Speaker 2: about it. Right, It's the WrestleMania of rugby. Right, It's
- 7:31Speaker 2: the best tournament the world. Fuck the World Cup.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Right, it's I gotta tell you, Tom, Now that is
- 7:37Speaker 3: the weekly. What have you of this week? Is that
- 7:39Speaker 3: the Six Nations is in full swing? And indeed it
- 7:41Speaker 3: has been in full swing, I'm told for the past
- 7:44Speaker 3: little week a week or so. And Tom came to
- 7:47Speaker 3: me last week and says, well, we do the Six
- 7:49Speaker 3: Nations for the for the weekly. What have you, and
- 7:50Speaker 3: I was like, the fuck do I care about the
- 7:52Speaker 3: six Nations? Tom? You know, we've got a lad getting
- 7:54Speaker 3: trampled by bulls over here. He'll do instead or whatever
- 7:57Speaker 3: it was the weekly what have you last week? But
- 7:59Speaker 3: we can buy ground a game this week. And Tom
- 8:01Speaker 3: is confident, Thomas confident that he That's the thing. That's
- 8:04Speaker 3: the thing with the Tom and Jerry show. I may
- 8:07Speaker 3: not like rugby, Tom has a rugby ball behind him
- 8:10Speaker 3: as they speak.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Yeah, at least one, at least one here. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 8:15Speaker 2: Tom is.
- 8:15Speaker 3: A rugby man. Always knew you to be a rugby man, Tom.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the signature thing, and I know where
- 8:21Speaker 2: it's deep rooted in you and a lot of our
- 8:23Speaker 2: listeners like that's all them fucking wankers, fucking chest banging
- 8:26Speaker 2: wankers and stuff, and as they've told.
- 8:28Speaker 3: You, Yeah, Tom, that's exactly it. That's it, That's exactly it.
- 8:30Speaker 2: But yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Leaving that aside, buried that because I have Polish people now,
- 8:36Speaker 2: Polish friends who are into rugby, and they know they
- 8:38Speaker 2: have none of those hang ups, right because they only
- 8:40Speaker 2: ever found out about rugby from their local club up
- 8:43Speaker 2: the road here where you have lad smoking effect putting
- 8:46Speaker 2: it out of the side of the pitch. You know,
- 8:48Speaker 2: bits of Marty's still on their fucking hands laying blocks.
- 8:52Speaker 2: It's a select group of people, especially in around the Leinster,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and it's starting to dilute a little bit. You're getting
- 8:58Speaker 2: a couple of working Joe's making their way in there,
- 9:00Speaker 2: and probably when they do, they're the standout because it's
- 9:03Speaker 2: colds power you're talking about. But the way I want
- 9:06Speaker 2: to go about this with you is I can tell
- 9:09Speaker 2: you high up and low down that there's it's it's
- 9:11Speaker 2: for regular folk too, even though it seems a bit
- 9:14Speaker 2: elitious and stuff like that.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Well, you're not gonna get me watching you know, French
- 9:20Speaker 3: Club rugby with Saracens and Wasps. I don't know I'm
- 9:23Speaker 3: talking about here, Tom, You're not gonna get me watching that,
- 9:26Speaker 3: But you reckon, you can get me to watch the
- 9:29Speaker 3: Six Nations exactly exactly the interesting movement this podcast on.
- 9:33Speaker 3: You've got seven minutes. Sell me on a body, sell me,
- 9:36Speaker 3: there's pen, sell me, there's sport.
- 9:38Speaker 2: See that pen, see that pin. What I'm saying is
- 9:41Speaker 2: this and this is how I would make the connection
- 9:43Speaker 2: for Jerry. Jerry's a wrestling fan, right, and there's everything
- 9:48Speaker 2: you need in the Six Nations from a for a
- 9:51Speaker 2: wrestling fan.
- 9:51Speaker 3: There's everything.
- 9:52Speaker 2: There's so much fucking drama, there's so many villains, there's
- 9:57Speaker 2: so many like, here's everything you love, gi and fucking
- 10:01Speaker 2: violent humans smashing each other. Chair basically yeah, yeah, guess what.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Guess fucking what. I'm gonna send you on a clip
- 10:11Speaker 2: of a chap whose surname is Ferrari, but really it
- 10:14Speaker 2: should be Caterpillar playing for fucking Italy at the weekend.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Ferrari plays for Riley.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Yeah, would you believe it?
- 10:21Speaker 3: You've got the you know what, I'll tell you. Vince
- 10:23Speaker 3: McMahon would love him. That's exactly what he would say.
- 10:25Speaker 3: We've got a big lad from Italy, Colin Ferrari. Yeah, yeah,
- 10:28Speaker 3: from England, Colin Jones.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Yeah. It literally is that. And like he went around
- 10:34Speaker 2: just I mean gb H, just fold on Irish lads
- 10:39Speaker 2: like fucking deck chairs. Just an animal. It was amazing.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Its beautiful to see, but we could.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I here's the thing, Tom and before and I know
- 10:47Speaker 3: I said, you know, I'll give you a time out,
- 10:48Speaker 3: I'll give you right right stop. It does they say
- 10:52Speaker 3: in rugby, they say that right, Okay, okay. What I
- 10:57Speaker 3: what I might be inclined to like about the Six
- 10:59Speaker 3: Names is the limited edition of it all. It's going
- 11:03Speaker 3: to be yeah, five games, you can't play yourself exactly.
- 11:07Speaker 3: It's that's why I'm I'm.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It's a lovely package for people who don't want to
- 11:10Speaker 2: dip into the club world. They don't want to dip
- 11:13Speaker 2: into fucking autumnation shot where there's no real there's no
- 11:16Speaker 2: real prize at the end of it. Summer Series is
- 11:19Speaker 2: for trying out fucking young lads. The Six Nations is
- 11:22Speaker 2: Six Nations is It's where it's all at.
- 11:25Speaker 3: I do like that. There's clearly delineated heroes and villains
- 11:29Speaker 3: in the whole thing, and you know, cannon fodder on
- 11:32Speaker 3: the what not. You have Ireland who are clearly the
- 11:35Speaker 3: heroes of the piece, England clearly the villains. Tom. That's
- 11:39Speaker 3: going to be a recurring segment throughout this episode of
- 11:41Speaker 3: The Talm and Jerry Show.
- 11:42Speaker 2: I don't worry. I've got a couple of notes for
- 11:44Speaker 2: you here.
- 11:44Speaker 3: You know you've got You've got the Italians who God
- 11:46Speaker 3: loved them. They're making it up in the Welsh, we
- 11:48Speaker 3: harbor no specific world hordes.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Well, this is where the they, this is where the
- 11:53Speaker 2: beautiful drama of it is because every dog, every dog
- 11:55Speaker 2: has their day. Italy now are hot shit, They're not
- 12:00Speaker 2: quite the Weekend.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I was like, what hangers are We didn't transplant Italy?
- 12:04Speaker 3: How the fuck battle with these days?
- 12:05Speaker 2: This is the thing. An Irish guy went over there
- 12:08Speaker 2: fifteen years ago and this is like a story of
- 12:10Speaker 2: fucking Paul Bearer bringing the fucking Undertaker out of the phone.
- 12:15Speaker 2: He did, guy went, He told a great story on
- 12:18Speaker 2: a podcast to how they were brought over this put
- 12:20Speaker 2: in place like these academies and cut this shit now,
- 12:22Speaker 2: because only a couple of years ago they were talking
- 12:24Speaker 2: about Italy can go to fucking WCW. It can fuck off.
- 12:28Speaker 2: We're bringing somebody in like Georgia because they make square men.
- 12:31Speaker 2: All the men are shaped like things on a minecraft
- 12:33Speaker 2: in fucking Georgia. They're all square, no neck. But the
- 12:37Speaker 2: Italy brought this guy in. He told the great story
- 12:39Speaker 2: how he went, He got brought to meet the president
- 12:42Speaker 2: of the Union. The guy had darkened sunglasses on in
- 12:45Speaker 2: an already darkened room with blinds drawn in a hotel
- 12:48Speaker 2: conference room, and he didn't say hello, He just lid
- 12:50Speaker 2: a pen and a napkin across the table with a
- 12:52Speaker 2: question mark in the euro a euro symbol. And that's
- 12:55Speaker 2: how that's what started. How Italy are so good? Scotlands
- 12:59Speaker 2: have come good? Who's gone ship? Whales have gone ship
- 13:03Speaker 2: because they've had nothing but Vince McMahon's and fucking what's
- 13:06Speaker 2: the other guy with the ludacally black hair that went
- 13:09Speaker 2: gray hair, that was with WZW that Eric Bischoffs just
- 13:15Speaker 2: riding it into the ground. I mean, hors fucking coke,
- 13:20Speaker 2: fucking shellfush dinners, fucking steak dinners for everybody forgot all
- 13:25Speaker 2: about all the boys and they've lost their ballocks. They're
- 13:28Speaker 2: getting trounced by everybody. The French turn up smoking fucking
- 13:32Speaker 2: fags and begets at the side of the pitch. If
- 13:34Speaker 2: they're losing by halftime, their own crowd turns on them jar.
- 13:38Speaker 2: If they're losing, they start booing their own players, and
- 13:41Speaker 2: the lads will often just pack up the fucking they're
- 13:43Speaker 2: already mentally on the bus before the fiftieth minute passes.
- 13:46Speaker 3: So big characters, big big character character, even even the
- 13:51Speaker 3: teams themselves are are clearly delineated. I like that. And now, Tom,
- 13:54Speaker 3: here's the thing with rugby. Ah, you're gonna say, you know,
- 13:57Speaker 3: everybody's yelling at the at the wireless appen. Hasn't Rugby
- 14:01Speaker 3: gone very soft?
- 14:04Speaker 2: No? No, it hasn't. Here they have taken the head
- 14:07Speaker 2: shots out. They've tried, yeah, as best they can, but
- 14:10Speaker 2: still giant mallets. Like at the weekend, our own scrum
- 14:14Speaker 2: half who is five foot five got sin binned for
- 14:17Speaker 2: high tackling. It would seem a guy six foot five,
- 14:20Speaker 2: how do you do that? He didn't. It was a
- 14:22Speaker 2: complete there it's a it was a fuck up of
- 14:24Speaker 2: the judgment. Really, but if you've broken down the letter
- 14:27Speaker 2: to the law, he should have dipped a little. But
- 14:29Speaker 2: the guy dipped down to have his head smashed off
- 14:32Speaker 2: our from half. Craig Casey, who is the ray mist
- 14:35Speaker 2: Stereo of world fucking rugby. The guy can do things
- 14:39Speaker 2: like he has moves where a ball will be traveling
- 14:42Speaker 2: in over the fucking over the sideline, he'll be outside
- 14:45Speaker 2: the sideline, jump through the air like Superman, catch the
- 14:48Speaker 2: ball and land in pitch and then run it up
- 14:50Speaker 2: the field and people are just going And his nickname
- 14:53Speaker 2: is the rock Goblin. His stay like rock Goblin, Yeah,
- 14:57Speaker 2: the rock Goblin. There's there's guys. There's one guy who
- 15:02Speaker 2: plays from Munster, but he's kind of in the Ireland.
- 15:04Speaker 2: His nickname is the Slim Reaper. He's see he's six
- 15:07Speaker 2: foot ten. He fucking and the animal. He's a rocket.
- 15:11Speaker 2: There's a guy for England right now we'll get around
- 15:13Speaker 2: called Henry Pollock that is so posh and so blond
- 15:16Speaker 2: and so English and so arrogant and even the English girl.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Oh he's a cunt. Oh yeah, okay, the guy will
- 15:22Speaker 2: score a try, right, he'll score a fucking try because
- 15:25Speaker 2: he is very good. The fucker. He's only twenty two
- 15:27Speaker 2: and then it start feeling his pulse on his neck
- 15:29Speaker 2: in front of the opposition crowd. Go no, haven't even
- 15:32Speaker 2: raised yet. Nice, He's he's grown a rattail. He does
- 15:37Speaker 2: things like the basketball bounce and shushing the audience. They
- 15:40Speaker 2: fucking hate him. He's a panto villain. This fucking brutal
- 15:45Speaker 2: it's about everybody. Fucking okay, okay, you go to iron
- 15:49Speaker 2: now and all of a sudden we've this fucking hit
- 15:52Speaker 2: this between our out halves who are like the quarterback
- 15:55Speaker 2: of the team, and they all the time should have
- 15:57Speaker 2: had in the guy that came on and saved our
- 16:00Speaker 2: blowshes against Italy the other day. But they've been trialing
- 16:02Speaker 2: this new kid that I were sure was gonna click.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Never clicked, clicking, not clicking, And the whole place just
- 16:10Speaker 2: was fucking open armed, and there was water like faction
- 16:13Speaker 2: fighting over why you should have had this guy in
- 16:15Speaker 2: and that guy in. The other guy came on Crowley
- 16:18Speaker 2: and basically dragged us back and won the fucking match
- 16:21Speaker 2: for us. And then we get to play England next
- 16:24Speaker 2: weekend and it's still all on the line. England beat
- 16:29Speaker 2: our So Scotland lose Italy last weekend?
- 16:32Speaker 3: Shock?
- 16:33Speaker 2: What the fuck Scotland? This is there going to be
- 16:35Speaker 2: their year? They lose to Italy, what did they do?
- 16:38Speaker 2: They turn around, eat a big fucking hagis sticky, tistle
- 16:41Speaker 2: down their fucking underpants and they beat the fucking the
- 16:44Speaker 2: tournament second favorites England at home. This fuck weekend just gone.
- 16:50Speaker 2: So now we get England. So we're all on a
- 16:52Speaker 2: game last each Only France can be toppled, and at
- 16:57Speaker 2: this stage we don't know who we're going to do
- 16:59Speaker 2: that because we didn't I'm gonna do it when we
- 17:00Speaker 2: played them in the first round. But it's it's all
- 17:03Speaker 2: to fucking play for jair.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Interesting, okay, so it's a it's an exciting, quick moving tournament,
- 17:08Speaker 3: which okay, so we've done away with the chair shots
- 17:10Speaker 3: to the head, but still someone will get a dig
- 17:12Speaker 3: every now and then. This is bally.
- 17:13Speaker 2: This is the thing like two rows broke out of
- 17:16Speaker 2: the weekend, or you would have loved it. Somebody got clotheslined.
- 17:19Speaker 2: It was fucking beautiful. There was guys getting absolutely turned
- 17:24Speaker 2: upside down, caught in half, faces being split open. One
- 17:27Speaker 2: guy's ear was hanging down. It was absolute violence.
- 17:30Speaker 3: So it sounds to me like Tom that the action
- 17:32Speaker 3: on the pitch is where you wanted to be. And
- 17:35Speaker 3: lord knows, a game of rugby is eighty minutes, not ninety,
- 17:38Speaker 3: so there's a limited amount of time you have to
- 17:39Speaker 3: sit watching this.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. Their breaks are, even their
- 17:42Speaker 2: break is very fast. They have the clock on. It's
- 17:45Speaker 2: all about moving the game faster, even when once upon
- 17:48Speaker 2: a time they'll be fuck acting around with you know,
- 17:50Speaker 2: putting the ball on the teeth, kick it over the bar,
- 17:52Speaker 2: all that. It's a shot clock now you got thirty
- 17:54Speaker 2: seconds kid, or we take the ball off you. That's
- 17:58Speaker 2: what they've done.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Now they've speed to be design would getting things to
- 18:01Speaker 3: move along. So let me go back to a point
- 18:03Speaker 3: that was raised earlier tom By, You not me, but
- 18:06Speaker 3: I was gonna bring it up on it. Bears arepeating
- 18:08Speaker 3: the whankers, Tom Yeah, they are there. What have we
- 18:10Speaker 3: done about the whankers?
- 18:11Speaker 2: Unfortunately they are there. That's the only thing I will
- 18:14Speaker 2: say to you, Jar, they are there. You'd want to
- 18:16Speaker 2: get the cheap seats. If you can get cheap seats,
- 18:18Speaker 2: if you do hap them to go and I say
- 18:19Speaker 2: lansdown Road, not Daviva, because you know, if you can
- 18:22Speaker 2: get the cheap seats to go see Ireland, I would
- 18:24Speaker 2: go see Ireland. Hey, I tell you what, go see
- 18:26Speaker 2: the women play. It's far more fucking, far more wholesome,
- 18:30Speaker 2: almost no Red Trouser's Brigade. But if you do go
- 18:33Speaker 2: see the men, I would why not go pick your
- 18:36Speaker 2: favorite pub and watch it and just shout and hope
- 18:39Speaker 2: that somebody opposition is in there. Because the great thing
- 18:40Speaker 2: about rugby is there's a strong possibility you won't have
- 18:44Speaker 2: to fight another person while watching it. But it is
- 18:47Speaker 2: open season to absolutely sewed into each other, like, no
- 18:52Speaker 2: matter how much you fucking on. But it's kind of
- 18:54Speaker 2: a written rule that you just go shake hands afterwards.
- 18:58Speaker 2: You're not gonna fucking actually bust us barstool off each
- 19:00Speaker 2: other's faces in the pulp.
- 19:02Speaker 3: It's it's more gentlemanly than that. When you watch so
- 19:05Speaker 3: much accusations here, Tom.
- 19:07Speaker 2: But this is I know, this is the thing when
- 19:09Speaker 2: you're watching so much violence out on the pitches, like, oh,
- 19:13Speaker 2: there's no mystery as to what will happen. If somebody
- 19:15Speaker 2: gets an elbow to the fucking mouth, you lose all
- 19:17Speaker 2: your fucking teeth, you know what I mean. So there's
- 19:19Speaker 2: an element of that too, But it is an open season.
- 19:22Speaker 2: There's literally nothing we can do with the wankers. I
- 19:24Speaker 2: can only tell you jer if you there's less of them,
- 19:27Speaker 2: there's lesson in conduct and Munster, there's lesson Tom. I know,
- 19:32Speaker 2: I know I'm in I'm in Duke central here, but
- 19:36Speaker 2: you're finding less and less of them are getting there
- 19:38Speaker 2: getting to it now because they disapprove of the commoner.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Believe it or not, you will.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Still get fucking wankers with their hip flasks pronouncing people's
- 19:46Speaker 2: names wrong because they're there off a delight fucking free
- 19:48Speaker 2: ticket or a KPMG fucking free ticket, and I'll never
- 19:52Speaker 2: forget it. You're I was standing behind to fucking wankers
- 19:54Speaker 2: one day and they were both cheering for Ronanoghar, whose
- 19:57Speaker 2: nickname was Raj, but because they only ret reddit in
- 20:01Speaker 2: a word, the word they fucking, were both more cheering
- 20:05Speaker 2: for Rog.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 20:07Speaker 2: And it wasn't until two fellas who are clearly from
- 20:09Speaker 2: clear just when fucking rog you fucking after about the
- 20:13Speaker 2: fifteen time of the showing. That was the last the
- 20:15Speaker 2: lads piped up. But you will the great thing about
- 20:18Speaker 2: rugby you can call fuckers out in the audience. You
- 20:21Speaker 2: shut the fuck up with you.
- 20:23Speaker 3: I don't know for that, Well tell me Tom. In closing,
- 20:26Speaker 3: the Six Nations were about three matches into it now,
- 20:28Speaker 3: so there's only a couple of matches by the time
- 20:30Speaker 3: this podcast comes out. They're probably only going to be
- 20:31Speaker 3: two more.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Right, No, you have three more, You have three more left.
- 20:34Speaker 2: So we took up. We've got England as this comes
- 20:37Speaker 2: out on Thursday. We've got England on Saturday. We have
- 20:40Speaker 2: Whales to follow on Friday night Under Friday night lights
- 20:44Speaker 2: and then we'll have Scotland. But we have a I
- 20:47Speaker 2: think we got to they do give him one break
- 20:49Speaker 2: one weekend off our bodies are pretty fucked up after
- 20:52Speaker 2: the third match, like lads have fucking got to get
- 20:55Speaker 2: their next turned round and stuff like that. You'll like
- 20:58Speaker 2: the coach in the Ireland setup. He was a bit
- 21:00Speaker 2: of an elitiousness to it before. The coach is very
- 21:03Speaker 2: much a working class bloke. He's from Wigan, used to
- 21:06Speaker 2: be a county council joiner before he went professional at rugby. Yeah,
- 21:11Speaker 2: he was a joiner for the county council in Wigan.
- 21:14Speaker 3: MM, so you do like the council.
- 21:17Speaker 2: But he and he does have an high restur name
- 21:19Speaker 2: and being from Wigan, you can accept him like he
- 21:22Speaker 2: was a highly violent player himself in his day.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Do I know what's his name?
- 21:26Speaker 2: Andy Farrell? No, apparently can still walk into the.
- 21:30Speaker 3: If you know, unless you turn around and said it's
- 21:33Speaker 3: Joan olomo I would have been like, not never heard.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I know, But to
- 21:38Speaker 2: be fair.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Wigan County counclor Joan Olomu.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, there's there's a thing that
- 21:45Speaker 2: guy can still walk into the gym or party and
- 21:47Speaker 2: out bench most mostly playing. He's in his fifties, like
- 21:49Speaker 2: he's he's still a fucking animal like. But as he
- 21:52Speaker 2: said himself, he could still hang it. Or if it
- 21:55Speaker 2: ever came to it.
- 21:56Speaker 3: No about what I tell you, get a trade. Everybody
- 21:58Speaker 3: listening to this, get a trade.
- 22:00Speaker 2: There you go, he Alway said, I can fall back.
- 22:02Speaker 2: He still has the twos underneath the stairs. He's a
- 22:05Speaker 2: good it would seem like a good lad. It's a
- 22:07Speaker 2: lot more palatable to watch now, Jer if you can
- 22:10Speaker 2: just cast off the notion of the red trousers and
- 22:12Speaker 2: pron sandwich brigade. That's the big thing I say to people,
- 22:15Speaker 2: And it will very easy to be a Monster fan
- 22:17Speaker 2: because it's cold cheese and conduct as well. Cold cheese typically,
- 22:22Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Not a lot of
- 22:23Speaker 2: red trowsers accepted.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Well, do you know what we're gonna have to do? Tom?
- 22:26Speaker 3: We might have to throw it open to the Tom
- 22:28Speaker 3: and Jerry audiences. I would or not. I'm doing the
- 22:30Speaker 3: right thing. Avoid and rugby like the plague, or should
- 22:33Speaker 3: I here at least allow myself the six Nations. I'm
- 22:36Speaker 3: not going to be watching the Lions on tour and
- 22:39Speaker 3: this here.
- 22:40Speaker 2: But let me give you one last parting danger, one
- 22:43Speaker 2: last parting thing that might just push you over the edge.
- 22:47Speaker 2: We very very often beat the ship out of England,
- 22:53Speaker 2: very very often, in fact, England Now fear us, Genno.
- 22:59Speaker 3: It's a it's compelling Tom.
- 23:02Speaker 2: You can see his face every like you can see
- 23:05Speaker 2: Jerry's face. Oh Jesus Christ, you just hit me with
- 23:07Speaker 2: the fucking singer shot. That's exactly what I was what
- 23:10Speaker 2: I was hoping I was gonna hear this evening.
- 23:11Speaker 3: It's nice. It's nice to win. You know, we do
- 23:15Speaker 3: over answer double.
- 23:16Speaker 2: We are, We're quite good at it.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Well, there you go. We will keep an eye on
- 23:19Speaker 3: those lads going forward. And if you think we should
- 23:21Speaker 3: or should not, maybe you think I should watch more rugby.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Maybe after that segment you think Tom should watch less,
- 23:27Speaker 3: we should have a look at going forward. But enough
- 23:30Speaker 3: about those lads. We've got to move on to other
- 23:33Speaker 3: lads that have crept up through the week. In particular,
- 23:37Speaker 3: we always like to call out one lad, one lad
- 23:39Speaker 3: who I'm just gonna say. Tom is better than everybody else,
- 23:43Speaker 3: sometimes better at being bad and sometimes better at being good.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Which is the case this week, let's get into it, Tom,
- 23:48Speaker 3: let's talk about this line.
- 23:51Speaker 2: There's we're getting a bit too nice in our old age, Jar.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I mean, we're typically a rip the pace podcast like,
- 23:58Speaker 2: but there's sometimes we gotta go.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Well Jesus Christ, Tom there, you know you want to
- 24:03Speaker 3: say rip the pissume. You know you want to stick
- 24:05Speaker 3: around for the closing segment of this. Oh yeah, shot
- 24:08Speaker 3: loaded buddy, I know, I know, But for now we are.
- 24:11Speaker 3: We are actually gonna go to a nice story and
- 24:14Speaker 3: I'm not gonna people are gonna call foul on this. Ah.
- 24:18Speaker 3: It's a story about this lad from Monaghan, don't you know.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Actually we were taking the task for not including the
- 24:25Speaker 3: Monaghan family that saved themselves off the coast of Australia
- 24:27Speaker 3: there last week we gave them a shout out, that's
- 24:29Speaker 3: what we could do, and give them another shout out,
- 24:32Speaker 3: well done, still got it, guys. But this week's this
- 24:36Speaker 3: lad is from Monaghan. He's a Cloneers man, which you
- 24:38Speaker 3: know is just about all right. Not everybody Monhan likes
- 24:41Speaker 3: each other, right, I'm not gonna keep an eye on
- 24:42Speaker 3: them North Monaghan hers, but Monaghan man Shane McLaughlin broke
- 24:46Speaker 3: another world record this week by pulling a one hundred
- 24:51Speaker 3: and twenty ton boat up a peer in Connamara, because
- 24:55Speaker 3: Shane Monaghan, Shane McLachlan, I beg your pardon from Monahan.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Shane McLachlan. He is a strong man.
- 25:02Speaker 2: He is a strong man and this is his sixth
- 25:05Speaker 2: Guinness Book Book record that he's out of beaten.
- 25:10Speaker 3: He pulled the Guinness records and getting sick all over yourself.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, Jesus Christ, why not he's twenty
- 25:16Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty four he pulled an eighteen ton truck.
- 25:18Speaker 2: A fucking truck he pulled. Yes, it's first led to
- 25:22Speaker 2: further back to back world records. He broke it. He
- 25:26Speaker 2: broke most of the man he pulled. He pulled a
- 25:28Speaker 2: forty tonner. So I'm guessing the one with a loaded
- 25:30Speaker 2: fucking trailer and everything since Like now, I mean, people
- 25:34Speaker 2: go ashure, look at what's the fucking mainsre thing here?
- 25:36Speaker 2: You pulled one hundred and twenty ton ferry name it's
- 25:39Speaker 2: actually the biggest. I think it's the biggest. People Faerry
- 25:43Speaker 2: Island to island people ferry it's out in Kinnamara. Yeah,
- 25:46Speaker 2: Sir of Farga is the name of the passenger one
- 25:49Speaker 2: and yeah, pulled it out in in Galway just gone
- 25:54Speaker 2: and people were high fiving, going, she's great. Man. He
- 25:56Speaker 2: pulled another one. A strong man. That's great. We've seen
- 25:58Speaker 2: strong man. You haven't seen a strong man like this fella.
- 26:02Speaker 2: This fella is doing it. Fucking Cossa Henry one fucking
- 26:09Speaker 2: leg he.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Has a one legged man. Yes, Shane McLachlin is a
- 26:13Speaker 3: paralympian as well, and he has like a you know,
- 26:18Speaker 3: people will know. I know the way to describe it,
- 26:20Speaker 3: the quickest way to tell you. He's got like an
- 26:21Speaker 3: Oscar story, you.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Know, like I just that's that's you know, it's it's
- 26:28Speaker 2: the paddle. He's got a paddle.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Doesn't terribly sorry. Oscar story is just kind of.
- 26:32Speaker 2: He made those blades famous, Yeah he did.
- 26:34Speaker 3: He made he made it famous. What kind of.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Pretty famous for?
- 26:38Speaker 3: Look up where Oscar stories is the jail? I still
- 26:40Speaker 3: think regardless of that. Now, Shane McLachlan, paralympian is pulling
- 26:45Speaker 3: more with with the prosthetic leg than you've ever pulled
- 26:49Speaker 3: in your goddamn life. Palm.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Fuck, what I love is It's like not that I love,
- 26:56Speaker 2: but the dude, doesn't he's missing lake cool for him
- 26:59Speaker 2: because he's doing cool shit. He's probably doing cooler shit
- 27:02Speaker 2: now than he ever fucking did. But he lost it.
- 27:05Speaker 2: It wasn't like a birth defect. It was the most
- 27:07Speaker 2: culchy fucking thing ever. Of course, he's most definitely a
- 27:11Speaker 2: bee farmer if he's from Clonus or the Brazilian lad.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Once she said to me, I'm off the Clone Clones
- 27:16Speaker 2: for the weekend and went, I know where you're going.
- 27:18Speaker 2: You're saying it wrong.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Attack of the Clonus.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Enjoy yourself. He went off the Clones, but this chat
- 27:23Speaker 2: it's It was a tractor incident, and agree incident. He
- 27:26Speaker 2: lost the fucking leg. Wait, you know every family's got one.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Every family's got one.
- 27:31Speaker 3: You ask anybody in the country about a fucking pto
- 27:34Speaker 3: shaft and yeah, I'm here the stories. We don't know
- 27:36Speaker 3: exactly how Shane come to lose his leg, but he's
- 27:39Speaker 3: done wonders since he's gone on, as Thomas said, there
- 27:43Speaker 3: to break six world records, pulling things about the place.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Now here's the thing I want to get into. And
- 27:48Speaker 3: this could very well have been a segue into we
- 27:50Speaker 3: Remember when, But we're gonna hitch this with a little
- 27:52Speaker 3: bit of strong man knowledge that me and Tom have
- 27:54Speaker 3: picked up over the last forty years. Like I said,
- 27:57Speaker 3: could have been a closing segment of the show, But
- 27:58Speaker 3: this lad deserved to be this lad. When we say
- 28:00Speaker 3: he pulled things, there's a lot of people listening to
- 28:02Speaker 3: this may have never grown up with the World's Strongest
- 28:05Speaker 3: Man on TV, so they may not know what we
- 28:07Speaker 3: mean by pulling it, Like what did he do? Did
- 28:09Speaker 3: he tug a war? Like? What is this man doing?
- 28:12Speaker 2: Like?
- 28:13Speaker 3: Pulling machinery is a tried and trusted way to prove
- 28:19Speaker 3: that you are a strong man. You literally put a
- 28:22Speaker 3: harness on you, not terribly unlike a horse or an
- 28:26Speaker 3: ox or some other beast of burden. A rope is
- 28:29Speaker 3: attached to whatever it is that you want to pull,
- 28:32Speaker 3: a tractor, a lurry, in this instance, a boat, and
- 28:37Speaker 3: then you just basically lean forward and with the strength
- 28:40Speaker 3: in your lower body, you just grunt and huff and
- 28:42Speaker 3: puff and drag that son of a bitch up the road.
- 28:46Speaker 3: We have seen people pull planes, trains, and automobiles, not
- 28:51Speaker 3: a joke. And I think of all the things that
- 28:54Speaker 3: it would be hardest to pull home, a boat has
- 28:57Speaker 3: to be right up there right.
- 28:58Speaker 2: I don't know. Friction wise, I don't know. I mean,
- 29:00Speaker 2: you're gonna put like once you get it rolling. I
- 29:03Speaker 2: mean it's hard argument that blokes on one fucking leg.
- 29:05Speaker 2: But once you get it moving, I want I don't know.
- 29:08Speaker 2: I've never tried to pull anything close to that. But
- 29:11Speaker 2: what I like about you is he looks like he
- 29:13Speaker 2: could be heading for strong man, big old culchy shoulders
- 29:17Speaker 2: on him. Not not one of these shredded fucking flutes
- 29:20Speaker 2: you see down the gym, fucking prose and making videos
- 29:23Speaker 2: of themselves. These buys you need, You need ballasts, you
- 29:27Speaker 2: need a fucking big belly on you. You look at
- 29:29Speaker 2: anybody wants to go look at the big I think
- 29:31Speaker 2: it was. I'm sure I think half Thor has beaten
- 29:34Speaker 2: him now at this stage. But I know Eddie Hall,
- 29:36Speaker 2: who was the world strongest man, a British guy. He
- 29:38Speaker 2: broke the original record of lifting a metric fucking ton.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Gotta nose. He's he burst the vessels in his fucking
- 29:44Speaker 2: nose while doing it. If you look at him, you're
- 29:46Speaker 2: like that man looks on the fucking ready for an
- 29:49Speaker 2: art attack. Yes he is, but he's doing it for
- 29:51Speaker 2: like he's got a big old belly, big old diddies,
- 29:54Speaker 2: but he needs all that gear for all that haul.
- 29:57Speaker 2: And you can't. You can't be going around with a
- 29:58Speaker 2: shredded six pack fuck and lifting things and pulling things.
- 30:02Speaker 3: The strong men that we know, Tom are not the
- 30:05Speaker 3: same as the bodybuilder that we know. So like you
- 30:07Speaker 3: know me and Tom, I gotta tell you, for two
- 30:09Speaker 3: straight married men.
- 30:11Speaker 2: We watch a lot of this ship.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Yeah, the bodybuilders of the Arnolds of this world that
- 30:17Speaker 3: are built for like sculpture and like dehydrated down the
- 30:20Speaker 3: fuck you can see every bit of sinew on them.
- 30:23Speaker 3: That's the bodybuilders. The strong men Tom, not so much
- 30:25Speaker 3: the strong man as you said there yourself. At a glance,
- 30:27Speaker 3: you're like there's a barrel of a lad and then
- 30:30Speaker 3: you get a bit closer to him and like, all right, no,
- 30:32Speaker 3: this is just like pure solid, like freaking bulk.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Well, there was there was a famous and this is
- 30:38Speaker 2: her back to a previous subject. There was a famous
- 30:40Speaker 2: line from a guy Ox and Chay is his name.
- 30:44Speaker 2: He's a front rower for for South Africa and big
- 30:49Speaker 2: old belly, big old back, big old neck bo licks
- 30:53Speaker 2: his lips of scrummageon because scrummageing is essentially the same thing.
- 30:56Speaker 2: You're just driving your big old and he was famous
- 30:59Speaker 2: after they went, what are you going to do after
- 31:01Speaker 2: you win the World Cup? Finally, because whether it's a
- 31:03Speaker 2: giant cake in the dressing room, they went, seriously, you're
- 31:07Speaker 2: not going to maybe go trying Peter down, because when
- 31:09Speaker 2: did good cracks start with salads? And this man ran
- 31:13Speaker 2: away from the cameras with his work cup medal into
- 31:15Speaker 2: eat a giant cake because he had done all the
- 31:18Speaker 2: push and the hoofing and draggon and pulling that he
- 31:20Speaker 2: needed to do. And that man has a big belly
- 31:22Speaker 2: on him. But a peak athlete, a peak athlete.
- 31:25Speaker 3: I mean, this is like when when in Beauty and
- 31:30Speaker 3: the Beast when Gaston says, when I was lad, I
- 31:33Speaker 3: ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me grow large,
- 31:35Speaker 3: And Gaston is like a good looking dude. You know,
- 31:39Speaker 3: these lads do eat four dozen eggs every morning to
- 31:42Speaker 3: help them get large, and large is what they get
- 31:44Speaker 3: in every direction. These are big, roundie bulky dudes. They
- 31:50Speaker 3: are like big Van Vader rather than Sting.
- 31:52Speaker 2: There was only one that ever here, and I would
- 31:56Speaker 2: question all the substances, but it was a guy and
- 32:00Speaker 2: our Polish listeners may fucking well you'll have to get
- 32:03Speaker 2: on fucking board with this. But a guy by the
- 32:05Speaker 2: name of Mary's Podnovski, I don't remember. He won it
- 32:10Speaker 2: five times.
- 32:11Speaker 3: He was the strongest man.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was ginormous. But he had a low
- 32:16Speaker 2: body five percentage as well, so he did look caught.
- 32:19Speaker 2: But I don't no, I think that girl hasn't been
- 32:24Speaker 2: one hundred percent disted like it was. There's something weird
- 32:26Speaker 2: because every other one around him, like Brian Shaw, like
- 32:30Speaker 2: what was your man big z? They called him from
- 32:32Speaker 2: the Ukraine. He wonted like three or four times. And
- 32:34Speaker 2: then you see like Eddie Hall, who was the everybody
- 32:37Speaker 2: else there's the two brothers from Scotland, all big bellies,
- 32:41Speaker 2: you nice big fucking roundy fucking bodies on him carrying
- 32:45Speaker 2: serious tank a muscle.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Even like twenty five and thirty stone.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Oh at a man. Eddie Hall said, when he was
- 32:52Speaker 2: at full tilt he was one hundred and sixty five kilos.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's for anybody wondering eight stone and fifty
- 33:02Speaker 2: kilos you do the mets, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 33:05Speaker 3: That's going by myse's as four hundred pounds.
- 33:07Speaker 2: There, but yeah, like the same. The same guy in
- 33:10Speaker 2: an interview recently said he's thirteen year old, is one
- 33:13Speaker 2: hundred and five cage's and six foot already.
- 33:19Speaker 3: And again we're not going straight too far into we
- 33:22Speaker 3: remember when territory. But if you are a strong man
- 33:24Speaker 3: and you need to prove how strong you are in
- 33:26Speaker 3: competition against other strong men, you know there are a
- 33:29Speaker 3: couple of things. Now there are there are specific events
- 33:32Speaker 3: such as deadlifting and bench pressing and the.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Aqat stones, the acklet stones.
- 33:38Speaker 3: But what is great about it is that there is
- 33:40Speaker 3: also strong men competitions which are like the wacky races
- 33:45Speaker 3: of the sports world.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Yeah better.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Everything is just like designed to be well, let's see
- 33:50Speaker 3: how strong you are. You say you're strong, okay, Let's
- 33:53Speaker 3: see you carry five milk turns, yeah, one hundred yards
- 33:58Speaker 3: up the road and then drop a come back with
- 34:00Speaker 3: six milk turns and we're just going to keep going
- 34:02Speaker 3: up and down on the one of you fuckers falls over.
- 34:04Speaker 2: The one eyelight was they would pick the floor pan
- 34:08Speaker 2: was gone out, but they would show that there was
- 34:10Speaker 2: a real car. It would be a two CV and
- 34:12Speaker 2: somebody would reverse it into the starting spot, but the
- 34:15Speaker 2: floor plan plan would be more or less gone out
- 34:17Speaker 2: of it, so the lads could stand inside the car
- 34:20Speaker 2: no wind screen, so their shoulders and I would and
- 34:23Speaker 2: head would come through the windscreen and there'd be straps
- 34:26Speaker 2: obviously strapping into the chessis inside over their shoulders, and
- 34:29Speaker 2: then they would just walk and engined two CV citron
- 34:34Speaker 2: just walk it in a farmer's they call it the
- 34:36Speaker 2: farmers walk, and just walking with a fucking car on
- 34:38Speaker 2: them like a dress, the.
- 34:40Speaker 3: Walking transformers, just walking around the car with legs. There
- 34:44Speaker 3: was one there was one particular event in the World's
- 34:48Speaker 3: Strongest Man which was always seemed really brutal. It was
- 34:51Speaker 3: called the Atlas Stones, which, oh my god, big globes
- 34:54Speaker 3: of concrete and rock that you had to lift off
- 34:56Speaker 3: the ground and put on like a plint. And I
- 35:00Speaker 3: the rocks got heavier. As the Atlas stones got heavier,
- 35:03Speaker 3: the plint's got higher. Yeah, so you have to keep
- 35:05Speaker 3: all the way down, lift the thing, put it on
- 35:07Speaker 3: the plant all the way down, lift another thing, put
- 35:08Speaker 3: it on the plint, and there will be lads with
- 35:11Speaker 3: veins popping out of their heads. You'd be like, okay,
- 35:14Speaker 3: we're in the realm here of genuine monsters of men.
- 35:19Speaker 2: But you'd see him like the stone would off and
- 35:22Speaker 2: roll back on the high one, belt him in the mouth,
- 35:24Speaker 2: invariably pump and fucking blood, make no odds, make no ods,
- 35:27Speaker 2: quick shot of fucking smelling salt. And you see the
- 35:29Speaker 2: tarry ship that they put in their hands for a grip. Yeah, yeah,
- 35:32Speaker 2: like they're just going for that. What I always liked
- 35:35Speaker 2: about it, what I like like Jane didn't pull that by,
- 35:38Speaker 2: you know, by I will give it a go. He
- 35:39Speaker 2: fucking practiced at that, oh her. And I'm telling you now,
- 35:43Speaker 2: you know, feel good factor and all that. It was
- 35:45Speaker 2: to show other paralympians it can be done, or other
- 35:48Speaker 2: amputies that it'll be done. I guarantee he was like
- 35:51Speaker 2: a motherfucker that morning. He was tuned in because when
- 35:53Speaker 2: you see these strong men, this isn't like you just
- 35:57Speaker 2: can't have as it because you just won't work. It
- 36:00Speaker 2: won't do you. The ting won't fucking happen. There was
- 36:03Speaker 2: a great guy from Ireland and I think he was
- 36:07Speaker 2: too range and too tall. Kill Kenny guy and I
- 36:09Speaker 2: remember he was going He did well in the British one.
- 36:13Speaker 2: His thing was fuck me, could he hold a thing?
- 36:16Speaker 2: Whatever about lifting and walk? He did this one where
- 36:19Speaker 2: they had him it was Britain strongest man and to
- 36:22Speaker 2: qualify to go through to worlds and he beat everybody
- 36:25Speaker 2: hands down. They had you standing in like a bird
- 36:27Speaker 2: cage if you imagine from a crab over the water,
- 36:31Speaker 2: but through a hole in the bottom of the cage,
- 36:34Speaker 2: a tea barn would come up to was would come
- 36:36Speaker 2: up to you, and hanging below the cage would be
- 36:40Speaker 2: a giant fucking weight. So you're hanging. You've got enough
- 36:44Speaker 2: space to stand in the cage at the bottom for
- 36:47Speaker 2: your feet to stand up, but there would be the
- 36:49Speaker 2: rest would be open. So when your hands would fucking free,
- 36:52Speaker 2: what would lose? It would drop the barn would all
- 36:55Speaker 2: go into the water. But fuck me, this guy just
- 36:59Speaker 2: and he locked on let it go. He just would
- 37:01Speaker 2: not let it go like any he now I think
- 37:03Speaker 2: he probably burned himself. A small but cuter fellows would
- 37:05Speaker 2: just go to what they think would be enough to
- 37:07Speaker 2: get him the points, but he just kept fucking holding
- 37:09Speaker 2: this thing like the Irish for you, yeah or all
- 37:13Speaker 2: or not?
- 37:14Speaker 3: There was one actually there's one last event now that
- 37:17Speaker 3: I always used to love is like how strong are you?
- 37:20Speaker 3: You know, let's see what you can bench. Let's see no, no,
- 37:22Speaker 3: I'll tell you how strong I am. Let's see how
- 37:24Speaker 3: high I can hook an empty keg? Ahead?
- 37:28Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. There's also the watch call the Games, the Highland.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Game, the Highland Games, yeah, which is yeah.
- 37:33Speaker 2: A lot of guys of the strong man world show
- 37:35Speaker 2: up to that, and it's tossing the key.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Which tossing things, yeah, was always good. Sometimes it'll be
- 37:40Speaker 3: just like a like what we'd call like a breeze block,
- 37:42Speaker 3: a cinder block for you Americans out there, a cavity
- 37:45Speaker 3: block as we'd know them up their way.
- 37:46Speaker 2: There's there's a great one. I remember they used to
- 37:48Speaker 2: do the country fair near here, and it would be
- 37:50Speaker 2: hiking a bale with a and you'd fling it over
- 37:54Speaker 2: a certain bar, much like the high jump.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Exactly, but like high like twenty for high.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Well, like these lads are savages to be able to
- 38:02Speaker 2: do that as well, like.
- 38:04Speaker 3: And throwing the kegs. And because like you know, most
- 38:06Speaker 3: of us, I would dare say most of us, whether
- 38:08Speaker 3: they ever walk in a bar or not, have at
- 38:09Speaker 3: least lifted a keg. If you're if even just to
- 38:12Speaker 3: move it out of your way. At some stage in
- 38:14Speaker 3: your life, you've probably handled a keg and you can feel,
- 38:17Speaker 3: roughly speaking, how heavy it is. It's got to be
- 38:21Speaker 3: has it getting that and just hooking it behind you
- 38:24Speaker 3: over a wall. We did love that, And Shane again,
- 38:27Speaker 3: thanks for bringing us this crack about strong men and
- 38:31Speaker 3: fair plate you aquordeous. I still claim Tom that pulling
- 38:35Speaker 3: a boat is harder than pulling a plane.
- 38:37Speaker 2: I do think so. There'll be a certain conduct continuous
- 38:40Speaker 2: to it because you can't walk directly in front of it.
- 38:44Speaker 2: If you get me, yeah, you're pulled off to the side.
- 38:47Speaker 2: You gotta walk. And that's the one thing I'm looking
- 38:48Speaker 2: at Shane here in the picture of going, oh fuck it,
- 38:51Speaker 2: like you've got to walk off to the side and
- 38:53Speaker 2: drag it along.
- 38:54Speaker 3: I to drag it along the pier. Like I'm not
- 38:57Speaker 3: saying pulling a plane is handy, but you just you
- 38:59Speaker 3: pull up a plane, you lift the handbrick of it,
- 39:00Speaker 3: you follow your follows and pull your like this fellow here,
- 39:05Speaker 3: now he's not for nothing as well. How I'm going
- 39:07Speaker 3: to tell you he's pulling against the current.
- 39:10Speaker 2: He is pulling against the current.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Actually, yes, if you weren't this lad before? You're this
- 39:14Speaker 3: lad Nowtion Well don't you there? If you are and
- 39:16Speaker 3: he listening to the Tom and Jerry Show, please let
- 39:18Speaker 3: us know. Ah, if you've listened to what we've said
- 39:21Speaker 3: about you and you take offense to us, bring it
- 39:25Speaker 3: up with Tom.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I do want to give an arm.
- 39:27Speaker 3: You've given you a bad manners. I'm a mon and man.
- 39:29Speaker 2: I do want to give an honorable shout out man.
- 39:31Speaker 2: He passed away a couple of weeks ago. He was
- 39:33Speaker 2: what Ireland strongest man. I think he won Britain Strongest
- 39:36Speaker 2: Man three times. Limerick chap pawed wire, very good man
- 39:40Speaker 2: for charities that all right, yes, yes, yes he switched.
- 39:43Speaker 2: He switched code. He was an incredible bodybuilder and decided,
- 39:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna the body can't really take the beat and
- 39:48Speaker 2: it's taken anymore. But I do want to stay in shape,
- 39:50Speaker 2: so I'm gonna see can I test myself? Can I
- 39:53Speaker 2: get shredded? And that was his downfall, would seem his
- 39:57Speaker 2: heart gave out in fortye o old man. But he
- 40:01Speaker 2: had been a great advocate for people who do you
- 40:04Speaker 2: know the underdog. He was a great guy for talking
- 40:07Speaker 2: people up that were taking especially abuse online for being
- 40:10Speaker 2: just trying their hardest.
- 40:11Speaker 3: And do you know you had me at he beat
- 40:14Speaker 3: the English?
- 40:19Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, fair enough.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Listen, you might think that, you know, we've had two
- 40:24Speaker 3: segments so far, we've had to go with the English.
- 40:26Speaker 3: They couldn't possibly go for three.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Oh shit.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Stick around, yeah, stick around For this last bit of
- 40:31Speaker 3: the show, Me and Tom are going to take a
- 40:32Speaker 3: trip down memory lane, ladies and gentlemen, because, as we
- 40:36Speaker 3: said several times on the show, we're not young men.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Were in our forties, born early eighties, you know, lived
- 40:40Speaker 3: through an awful lot, seen a lot of things come
- 40:42Speaker 3: and go in our time, always die off, new ways
- 40:46Speaker 3: come to pass, and we talk about him. The final
- 40:48Speaker 3: segment of the show called we Remember When When I
- 40:53Speaker 3: was a young lad twenty or thirty or forty years.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Ago, I remember when Jerry, but I remember Bro. I
- 41:00Speaker 2: like how this one came about, As you know, it's
- 41:04Speaker 2: it's as a very current event that has happened in Dublin's.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Currently happening, happening right now, in the process of being stopped.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Happening right now, because the protest is going to go
- 41:15Speaker 2: against uh, go against these bastards to give context to
- 41:19Speaker 2: it before we jump into the we remember when of
- 41:21Speaker 2: it a Dublin, a brand new Dublin hotel. I say,
- 41:25Speaker 2: brand new the fucking thing every time I drove past it.
- 41:27Speaker 2: It's gathering up around for the last two years nearly.
- 41:30Speaker 2: But where the Exchequer is, I'm not sure. It's called
- 41:33Speaker 2: the Hoxton Hotel. Of course it's going to sound for English.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Let's don't call it thing the Hoxton Hotel in the
- 41:39Speaker 2: middle of Dublin.
- 41:40Speaker 3: But shockness's bed and breakfast.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Now you're talking. Now you're talking. If anybody's kind of gone,
- 41:45Speaker 2: I know where that is. It's the Exchequer, just off
- 41:48Speaker 2: George Street, be on the block off Georgia Street, but
- 41:50Speaker 2: it would be kind of looking partially up the lane
- 41:53Speaker 2: beside the Stag's head.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Let me let me tell you what it is. Tom.
- 41:56Speaker 3: All the Dubliners know where it is, and all the
- 41:59Speaker 3: cultures know what's in double.
- 42:00Speaker 2: I'll tell you how I know that hotel and I
- 42:02Speaker 2: have a history with that hotel. I did my audition
- 42:06Speaker 2: for Demo and ivor the TV show in one of
- 42:09Speaker 2: the sweets, and that that hotel.
- 42:12Speaker 3: There's a long running history of horror. It was.
- 42:17Speaker 2: It was a couch, jerk, buddy, I did some things.
- 42:21Speaker 2: It got it got me the gig. But anyway, essentially
- 42:24Speaker 2: one of the one up to now the hospital hotel
- 42:26Speaker 2: shower of folks. Anyway, they're from a hotel, a pot,
- 42:30Speaker 2: a branch of a hostel, hotel group and essentially what
- 42:35Speaker 2: called they've they've taken umbrage this crowd called Trinity Hospitality.
- 42:42Speaker 2: I think they own another hotel down and down on
- 42:45Speaker 2: Dame Street. Essentially what has happened is they claim that
- 42:50Speaker 2: the nightclub, which is not attached now it's across the
- 42:54Speaker 2: street from them, its music has been playing too fucking loud.
- 42:59Speaker 2: And if I had to close up to thirty one
- 43:02Speaker 2: bedrooms and claiming three hundred thousand in damages in losses
- 43:07Speaker 2: with thirty one bedrooms, well, Jerry, I'll tell you one thing.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I'd be opening a fucking hotel fair quick if you
- 43:11Speaker 2: could turn over for three hundred fucking thousand in thirty
- 43:15Speaker 2: one rooms in the space of about a month. Yeah,
- 43:17Speaker 2: he'sus fucking wept now good batter and different hotel. It's
- 43:21Speaker 2: Middland at fucking best. I don't believe it as parking,
- 43:23Speaker 2: so I don't know where they get their fucking bashes
- 43:25Speaker 2: from but their cribbon. What they're cribbing about, and me
- 43:28Speaker 2: and Jerry were talking about this beforehand is the much
- 43:31Speaker 2: Love Yemen Moory is a is a is a Kaya.
- 43:37Speaker 2: I've never been in this sober there. I don't think
- 43:39Speaker 2: it was a fucking nightclub. I think it's a late bar,
- 43:42Speaker 2: which late.
- 43:43Speaker 3: I want to call it a night club for the
- 43:44Speaker 3: purpose of this spir at the nightclub.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Okay, And the one and only time, the last sorry,
- 43:48Speaker 2: the last time I was in there. I was in
- 43:49Speaker 2: there for we got taken out after a gig by
- 43:52Speaker 2: Miller Beer not sponsoring the ad, but they sponsored this
- 43:55Speaker 2: night where they put on a load of beer for
- 43:57Speaker 2: us and we could our own karaoke suite. So you
- 44:02Speaker 2: go down about fifteen and went down and all sang
- 44:04Speaker 2: karaoke songs downstairs. At no point did I go, what
- 44:07Speaker 2: do you know what I reckon? This place is right
- 44:09Speaker 2: fucking noisy. It was what it was. It's a fucking
- 44:12Speaker 2: bar on a bar street like this crowd. If they
- 44:16Speaker 2: put the fucking hotel out in the middle.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Of I knew rightly what they're doing. Tom. We're gonna
- 44:20Speaker 3: watch this case unfold because what we're looking at right.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Here is another attack on the nightlife in Dublin. Now
- 44:26Speaker 3: here's the thing, right, nightclubs. Tom. This is what we
- 44:31Speaker 3: remember when is about this week is nightclubs. Because what
- 44:34Speaker 3: we're watching here is yet another nightclub closed down. Myself
- 44:39Speaker 3: and Tom lived in a world not that very long
- 44:42Speaker 3: ago where there was a nightclub in every town in Ireland.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Some had two young like my own had three. Now
- 44:50Speaker 3: we're tolder men. Now I'm in my mid to late forties.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Tom's coming up behind me there, all right. I could
- 44:57Speaker 3: not be dragged into a nightclub, Tom. I've said it
- 44:59Speaker 3: before on this pot cast. The next time I'm in
- 45:01Speaker 3: a nightclub, it'll be by some curious turn of fate
- 45:05Speaker 3: if a bounc or throws me into one.
- 45:07Speaker 2: No, i'd say, the next time you'll be in one
- 45:09Speaker 2: is when we're well for the crack. Will roll your
- 45:11Speaker 2: coffin into one exactly and just drink pints off your
- 45:15Speaker 2: coffin exactly.
- 45:16Speaker 3: So so we have no dog in the fight. They
- 45:19Speaker 3: can keep your memory open, or they can close. We're
- 45:21Speaker 3: probably never going to set foot in it again, but
- 45:24Speaker 3: we remember what nightclubs were for us. I'm sorry to
- 45:27Speaker 3: put on my serious voice here, Tom. But we remember
- 45:30Speaker 3: what nightclubs were to us as young men and young people,
- 45:33Speaker 3: and if that is taken away from this country, I
- 45:36Speaker 3: wonder where young people will.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Go, Well, where are you going to get the shift?
- 45:41Speaker 2: Where are you?
- 45:42Speaker 3: And you know we can laugh about that, okay, we
- 45:44Speaker 3: can be funny and smart and laugh about that. But
- 45:46Speaker 3: when I was a young fella, if you were going
- 45:48Speaker 3: out to meet someone, you went to a nightclub. Yeah,
- 45:52Speaker 3: so a pretty girl and you know, if you liked
- 45:55Speaker 3: the luck at you you like the look of horror.
- 45:57Speaker 3: You know, you drank four or five pints and then
- 45:58Speaker 3: you wander to But yeah, I mean, you know that
- 46:01Speaker 3: was where that It was a place and it was
- 46:03Speaker 3: where people got together. And we've talked about it on
- 46:05Speaker 3: the show before. How like you know, we know the
- 46:07Speaker 3: dating culture has changed in this world and everybody's on
- 46:10Speaker 3: the apps and all this kind of crack. A nightclub
- 46:14Speaker 3: was a place where you could do all that and
- 46:16Speaker 3: actually be in the company of people. It was a
- 46:18Speaker 3: very very important part of life. And now that it
- 46:21Speaker 3: has been stripped out of every town in Ireland. My
- 46:24Speaker 3: local hometown, Tom had three nightclubs, get so many as
- 46:27Speaker 3: now pal none is so many of the fucking county
- 46:29Speaker 3: has the whole county. Monon has maybe one or two
- 46:33Speaker 3: nightclubs tops.
- 46:34Speaker 2: I'd say it's the same for Tipperary right now, I
- 46:36Speaker 2: would say so there, Well, I I can'st it's a
- 46:38Speaker 2: big old fucking place. But you would go far and
- 46:41Speaker 2: wide to try and find that. There'll be one in
- 46:44Speaker 2: cash On, maybe one in Clammel. Now there'll be one,
- 46:48Speaker 2: two maybe in Turless. None in Tipperary, none in care Like,
- 46:54Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe carry can show a couple of
- 46:55Speaker 2: There's very very few. And as you said, it was
- 46:59Speaker 2: kind of like there was two a point there there
- 47:02Speaker 2: was one we used to we had one in Tiperary Town.
- 47:04Speaker 2: There was another one in a small village called dun Drum.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Then Drum has made quite the news splash in recent years.
- 47:12Speaker 2: You know, they have quite a lot of new visitors
- 47:15Speaker 2: that outweigh the amount of people actually living there. It
- 47:17Speaker 2: doesn't make you know, but they had this nightclub Jair
- 47:22Speaker 2: and I don't know, did your man win the lotto
- 47:24Speaker 2: or something, but it went from being like a hotel
- 47:28Speaker 2: kind of function nightclub. You know, they start the usual
- 47:30Speaker 2: start carpets thinking, but class that's all you wanted to
- 47:34Speaker 2: be in this multi leveled Yeah fucking he had these
- 47:40Speaker 2: two giant stone wizards beside the DJ like they had
- 47:45Speaker 2: glass floors put in. It was insanity out in the
- 47:48Speaker 2: middle of the sticks, but you know what, people bust
- 47:51Speaker 2: out there and there was class. You're going out there.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Girls are meeting for the lads, lads are meeting for
- 47:58Speaker 2: the boards in orderybody's get drinking me fucking jaeger bombs.
- 48:03Speaker 3: And you were meeting pals that you'd have for twenty years.
- 48:05Speaker 3: That's for damn sure.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, that's it. That was it, and you're
- 48:08Speaker 2: all back on the boats then walking way back out
- 48:10Speaker 2: of it. But then you go to town, you go
- 48:11Speaker 2: to towns, you go to cities, and cities are the same.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Their nightclubs are just about filled with Germans tourists right now,
- 48:17Speaker 2: Like nobody's going to a fucking nightclub anymore because they're
- 48:20Speaker 2: just not around. We there was always powerful, of course,
- 48:25Speaker 2: what you would do, like you'd have you make sure
- 48:26Speaker 2: to have a few beforehand because knew just steeper in there.
- 48:29Speaker 2: But like college fucking nightclubs. Like man, they used to
- 48:33Speaker 2: college and i's to piss. They used to service. But
- 48:35Speaker 2: my God, were we fucking happy?
- 48:38Speaker 3: You know, the crack you'd have. And I've actually a
- 48:41Speaker 3: bit of a statistic I reminded myself there and I
- 48:43Speaker 3: remember seeing this. Now it was last year January twenty
- 48:45Speaker 3: twenty five. There was a census taken of active nightclubs
- 48:48Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. So take away a year out of
- 48:50Speaker 3: this time, eighty three active nightclubs in Ireland. In Ireland
- 48:56Speaker 3: right down from two in the year to two it
- 49:00Speaker 3: was five hundred and twenty two and eighty four percent decline. Now,
- 49:05Speaker 3: you know a lot of laughs on the Tom and
- 49:07Speaker 3: Jerry show. That's fucking catamalogin right there, Jesus.
- 49:10Speaker 2: When you think about how many fucking strobe lights, how
- 49:13Speaker 2: many DJs are out of work? Like you know what
- 49:15Speaker 2: I mean, some amount of work gone there.
- 49:18Speaker 3: There were bouncers punching in the back of the head.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Now, Tom, Now you said it like we I bounced
- 49:23Speaker 2: for a brief period, like back when I had a
- 49:25Speaker 2: neck like a leg. But it was I remember that
- 49:27Speaker 2: like it was the lifeblood of Clanic County.
- 49:30Speaker 3: And it was it was where you know, you know,
- 49:33Speaker 3: everybody laughs ta mangoes where the gang goes, you know, yeah,
- 49:36Speaker 3: where you would go out and look not for good
- 49:39Speaker 3: and for real, Tom, you would get a bunch of
- 49:41Speaker 3: lads that would be out with drink involved. You know,
- 49:44Speaker 3: you would have roused and you would have all this
- 49:46Speaker 3: sort of thing now. But my god, damn it, like
- 49:50Speaker 3: the crack out weighed all of that year. You wouldn't
- 49:52Speaker 3: want to say, like, you know, it wasn't you know,
- 49:55Speaker 3: I know there was an awful lot of bad fights
- 49:57Speaker 3: and all this sort of thing kicked off by and
- 49:59Speaker 3: large as.
- 50:01Speaker 2: It was a timely safe place to go. Yeah, we
- 50:04Speaker 2: used to. I suppose we used to go to this one.
- 50:07Speaker 2: And I don't know how we got. We were under age,
- 50:10Speaker 2: but we looked old enough, you know what I mean.
- 50:12Speaker 2: But we and we conducted ourselves like fellows who would
- 50:16Speaker 2: be able to handle pints, because you know, at that stage,
- 50:19Speaker 2: I think we were seventeen, we were able to handle pints.
- 50:21Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen is culture eighteen times. Yeah it is a
- 50:26Speaker 3: drinking uh noting else down.
- 50:35Speaker 2: But we used to go to this one called Detach.
- 50:39Speaker 2: It was I guess why I was fucking called that.
- 50:41Speaker 2: But it was in a small place called Emily, not
- 50:45Speaker 2: a woman, an actual town called Emily, but they used
- 50:49Speaker 2: there was a law that came in for a brief
- 50:51Speaker 2: period that did not stick around, and it was if
- 50:54Speaker 2: you're serving booze after a certain time, you have to
- 50:57Speaker 2: have the availability to feed people as well.
- 50:59Speaker 3: Yes, correct.
- 51:00Speaker 2: So they had the most begrudging fucking old one inside.
- 51:06Speaker 2: I'm guessing it was a cloak room at one stage,
- 51:07Speaker 2: but now they had like you know, there was it
- 51:11Speaker 2: was like for all the world, a borcub fucking boiler
- 51:14Speaker 2: full of chili boiler taken over on a on a
- 51:18Speaker 2: out full of chili concarney or chicken corry and I
- 51:23Speaker 2: think there were other option was something similar And I
- 51:25Speaker 2: remember going up going this is fucking great, and I'll
- 51:28Speaker 2: never forget it. She was the angriest looking fucking woman,
- 51:34Speaker 2: like I'm like thunder, and she had the most tenest
- 51:37Speaker 2: head of hair you've ever seen on a woman in
- 51:40Speaker 2: your life, Like like if it was an outlete, you
- 51:42Speaker 2: got shave that off with you. Yeah, but she was
- 51:44Speaker 2: now one fighting to fight in a good fight, and
- 51:46Speaker 2: she was just angry with life and she was it
- 51:49Speaker 2: wasn't nearly like the dinner lady in Billy Madison slap
- 51:52Speaker 2: big shows, and she just fox me out. I didn't
- 51:55Speaker 2: even ask for it. Fox me out this stuff, and
- 51:58Speaker 2: I'm like, what, I didn't even want to. I just
- 52:00Speaker 2: happened to be standing near this fucking hatch. She just
- 52:03Speaker 2: fucking eat it. If I'm cooking it, you're fucking eating it.
- 52:07Speaker 2: And I remember taking a bite. I'm like, did you
- 52:08Speaker 2: just open the full kilo of sexo assault? And just
- 52:12Speaker 2: emptied it into this fucking because he drunken all as
- 52:15Speaker 2: I was, and went, oh, that's not right, that's not
- 52:18Speaker 2: fucking right. But it was. It was glorified, fucking brilliant mayhem.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Like I think if softer people had walked in here,
- 52:26Speaker 2: like say somebody who disort that would go to Yamamori
- 52:28Speaker 2: on a regular basis, walked into this place, they be terrified.
- 52:31Speaker 2: There was one guy, his nickname was Pencil. He was
- 52:33Speaker 2: seven foot one, was swinging literally from the rafters when
- 52:38Speaker 2: we walked in. And what happened was the lads all
- 52:40Speaker 2: jocked him, like, pulled his trousers down the whole lot,
- 52:44Speaker 2: and he didn't. It was all out carnage. Pulled his
- 52:47Speaker 2: he was wearing rigerboots, pulled them off like it was.
- 52:49Speaker 2: It was. It was just beautiful fucking madness. Jared the
- 52:53Speaker 2: like the fucking laugh because you're in peak laugh form
- 52:56Speaker 2: at that stage you can't really hear each other. You're
- 52:59Speaker 2: going shots, yeah, shots, shots, shot, shot, shot, shatchat. I
- 53:05Speaker 2: told you about that, you know we if anybody wants
- 53:07Speaker 2: to go way back to our drunkest ever like, I mean,
- 53:10Speaker 2: the wildest nightclub moment's been in fucking Jet in Vegas
- 53:14Speaker 2: and there's Little Wayne thrown fibers off the top of
- 53:16Speaker 2: the thatsh the fucking DJ box. I mean you won't.
- 53:21Speaker 2: I mean, I love a good outfit pob, but to
- 53:23Speaker 2: be all in all, like you'll never ever get that,
- 53:27Speaker 2: or you go what the like, your mind will rarely
- 53:30Speaker 2: be blown.
- 53:34Speaker 3: That is what a nightclub offered the people of this country.
- 53:37Speaker 3: And if there are a nightclub shutting down all over
- 53:39Speaker 3: the content by all means, write a congressman or whatever
- 53:42Speaker 3: it might be. But I'm just gonna talk about Ireland,
- 53:44Speaker 3: specifically rural land where I came from. Uh, the local
- 53:47Speaker 3: nightclub was a release. I'm terribly sorry to get wanky
- 53:50Speaker 3: with it, but that is what you did at the
- 53:54Speaker 3: end of the week. You worked all week, hard, all week,
- 53:59Speaker 3: and you got clean and you went to a nightclub.
- 54:01Speaker 3: If you had a nice shirt, you bought a nice
- 54:04Speaker 3: shirt because you wanted to wear to a nightclub. If
- 54:06Speaker 3: you had a nice pair of shoes, you didn't buy
- 54:08Speaker 3: them to go to mass Im terribly sorry. At this
- 54:09Speaker 3: stage you were in your twenties and you know, maybe
- 54:11Speaker 3: massive follow by the wayside what not. But you learned
- 54:15Speaker 3: how to conduct yourself, scrub yourself up, not be a bollocks,
- 54:22Speaker 3: be in the company of people, and not just be
- 54:24Speaker 3: hooting and hollering. And then Maniac two thousands on and
- 54:28Speaker 3: you can hoot and holler all you want. Everybody was
- 54:30Speaker 3: out there with you. It was just a release from
- 54:34Speaker 3: the week. You're having a good night out and then
- 54:36Speaker 3: you went home and you yeared up to do it
- 54:38Speaker 3: again the next.
- 54:39Speaker 2: But that's exactly exactly what it was for me. I remember,
- 54:41Speaker 2: especially real nightclub days when I got down to Cork
- 54:44Speaker 2: and it was me and the boys would meet up,
- 54:48Speaker 2: go for a few pints, and invariably will end up
- 54:51Speaker 2: in a place called Havana Browns, and it was like
- 54:54Speaker 2: we had our spot. You'd hit the dance floor, you're
- 54:57Speaker 2: sweating your head off, there's a natural euphoria amongst it
- 55:00Speaker 2: everybody and you can let the veil down a small bitch,
- 55:03Speaker 2: you can without going to bollocks land. Ninety nine point
- 55:07Speaker 2: nine percent of people are in top form, top form.
- 55:11Speaker 2: Everybody's I'm nipping out for a fair class. I'll get
- 55:14Speaker 2: the shots in my round, nice one and everybody. See
- 55:18Speaker 2: everybody's there for five for two hours, just going this
- 55:22Speaker 2: is top and then you're all out sweating, fucking I'll
- 55:25Speaker 2: let me fucking jaft, fuck it, I'll get it tomorrow.
- 55:27Speaker 2: Where's your man? He's had to fall asleep in the jacks? Fuck?
- 55:30Speaker 2: Can I roll up and get me friendly? I say,
- 55:31Speaker 2: he's have to fall a sleeping the jacks. Bring him
- 55:33Speaker 2: down the road. You're fucking eating somehow scavy burger. You're
- 55:37Speaker 2: fucking someone as advises scoring, you know what I mean?
- 55:40Speaker 2: And that's all good stories and crack the next day
- 55:42Speaker 2: talking about it was a focal point.
- 55:45Speaker 3: And that's exactly what it was.
- 55:47Speaker 2: It was the wab.
- 55:47Speaker 3: It was a punctuation on the week.
- 55:49Speaker 2: It was what the like, you sharpen the pencil all
- 55:52Speaker 2: fucking week. And that's the point you get to, is
- 55:54Speaker 2: where you're like, oh and now we do every so often,
- 55:57Speaker 2: I will well quite a lot. It was actually mentioned
- 56:00Speaker 2: to me because I run a local nightclub or local
- 56:03Speaker 2: comedy club and people have said, fuck, this is what
- 56:07Speaker 2: we like. And somebody said it to me, this is
- 56:10Speaker 2: like the nightclub where we just get to drink. Shut roar,
- 56:13Speaker 2: our fucking heads laughing. I don't think about not brainy,
- 56:17Speaker 2: We don't have to think about nothing brainy for two
- 56:19Speaker 2: fucking hours, no stress, no nothing.
- 56:22Speaker 3: And to put a punctuation on it, folks, you know,
- 56:26Speaker 3: and it sticks in the CROs as well, that it's
- 56:28Speaker 3: a fucking English crowd coming over and shutting in an
- 56:31Speaker 3: Irish nightclub. But what's happening in Dublin and Irish Japanese
- 56:34Speaker 3: nightclubs and Irish Japanese fusion. What's happening in Dublin is
- 56:39Speaker 3: what has happened across rural Ireland. One by one, nightclubs
- 56:42Speaker 3: have shut in every rural turn in Ireland. And you
- 56:45Speaker 3: would still get some in the bigger cities like your Corks,
- 56:47Speaker 3: Callways and Dublin, but they're coming for Dublin as well,
- 56:52Speaker 3: and one by one they'll shut down. There's always coppers,
- 56:55Speaker 3: which I gotta tell you, Tom, I've never been to
- 56:57Speaker 3: coppers in my life. How about that?
- 56:59Speaker 2: I been there a lot I've been there.
- 57:02Speaker 3: I could do. Maybe we're going to it some night
- 57:03Speaker 3: just to see what.
- 57:04Speaker 2: It is we should we actually should.
- 57:06Speaker 3: I would. I would. I would be instantly reported as
- 57:09Speaker 3: being an undercover guard with the big undercoffer guard head
- 57:11Speaker 3: of me. But then again, maybe I don't know.
- 57:12Speaker 2: Maybe you wouldn't just know you trust me, you'd actually
- 57:16Speaker 2: blend right, you would, Yeah, you'd be buttered between. I
- 57:20Speaker 2: don't fully know what shot him. I was one guy
- 57:22Speaker 2: I remember he ran, he had one attached to and
- 57:24Speaker 2: he's just the insurances were killing him. The insurances were
- 57:28Speaker 2: just fucking killing him. And then really the downturn fucked
- 57:31Speaker 2: a lot of them because all the youth moved away.
- 57:35Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, but there's youth here now. He's like,
- 57:37Speaker 2: I know, but it's a big undertaking to get the
- 57:39Speaker 2: fucking back up and run and get people thinking about
- 57:41Speaker 2: it again. But that's kind of themselves that if you
- 57:47Speaker 2: have a local nightclub, we highly recommend you hang on
- 57:51Speaker 2: to it as long as you can.
- 57:52Speaker 3: Uh. And and there is protest going on against this
- 57:55Speaker 3: other Hockston crowd up in Dublin, and I hope that
- 57:58Speaker 3: we send him back and Tom yep, because I gotta
- 58:00Speaker 3: tell you I don't build a hotel across from nightclub
- 58:03Speaker 3: and then complain that there's a nightclub there. Sorry, that's
- 58:05Speaker 3: Brett contrariness at his height.
- 58:08Speaker 2: Put I mean, if you want to look around the
- 58:10Speaker 2: corner for like, these are people bitching Apparently guests are bitching,
- 58:15Speaker 2: and you're like, you booked a fucking like if you
- 58:18Speaker 2: book a hotel in the exact same spot in any
- 58:20Speaker 2: major city. You go to Liverpool, Manchester, you put the
- 58:23Speaker 2: hotel right there, suck, butter Cup should have got around.
- 58:27Speaker 3: Sorry, you should have got out the hotel in the
- 58:30Speaker 3: middle of a thriving metropolis. It's a little bit loud.
- 58:34Speaker 2: The George is right across the way, is right across
- 58:37Speaker 2: the way. Party fucking Central, seven nights of the week, Like, well, listen.
- 58:45Speaker 3: Are we Are we wild wrong? Ladies and gentlemen? Are
- 58:48Speaker 3: we wild? Man wrong? Maybe nightclubs deserve to be closed?
- 58:51Speaker 3: I don't think so. I'm never going to set footing
- 58:53Speaker 3: another one again. So it's neither here nor there to me.
- 58:55Speaker 3: But you know, I got kids. I wouldn't mind sending
- 58:57Speaker 3: them out to a place that at least I know
- 58:58Speaker 3: they're there for the night. I'm in that place but
- 59:02Speaker 3: we could be wild wrong or we could be wild right.
