  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things living in built up areas
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: when you have neighbors so close by that you just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like the thing that tipped me over the age and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: why I moved home to the country, and I make
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it out that it was to raise our child and

• 3:56
  Speaker 1: another time anyway.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Nail update.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I want to show you the nail. It's like an
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: can you see it's opening like a door. Now there's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: one little hinge corner on it. Look at that that

  Speaker 1: it looks like somebody said, I say that badly drawn
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on Frankenstein nail And it's just hanging on by the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I tell you now, if this was if my nail

• 4:23
  Speaker 1: post or printing, you know account, there's no more going on.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's the kind of thing, Tom, if that nail was
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a politician, as you drew up that analogy, it will
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: be brought in by an aide of the PM and say, look,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: you gotta go. We're gonna say that you went of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: your own accord and you can write it up whatever
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: way you want, but you're going, yeah, we're taking out Tom.

• 6:26
  Speaker 2: what we do. We don't just talk nonsense like that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: We've got like a bit of a structure. So the show,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: in the first segment of the show is one where
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we break down the big news of the week, whatsoever
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that might be, and whatsoever way we might determine it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We do all that in a segment that we call
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the Weekly what have You? This is a very complicated case,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: mad You know, a lot of ian's, a lot of outs,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of what have you, and a lot of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: strands to keep in my head.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Man, the weekly what have you? By God, I'll tell
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you something.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It's a big one. This week. Tell me one thing, now,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: big one. It's it's the time of year, it's it
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: only comes along once every so often. We're talking about
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: an event that lasts for a whole month, that had
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the opening ceremony in the last couple of days. As
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: we record this tom a grueling test of endurance where
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the fittest survive and the weakest are crushed on our heel.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: We are, of course talking about the opening of the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Edinbury Fringe exactly.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, what else could be? You talking?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing else? You know what.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad we're going here because every dog and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: our mother is cribbing about that other thing that's on,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: which honestly passed me by. I tell you as much
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as I knew, and I'm going to get this out
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of the way as much as I it dawned me
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that what was going on. I popped downstairs of that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: club that I was in Belfast on Friday night and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: saw what seemed to be the opening ceremony of the Olympics,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and it was just some guy, out of shape, guy
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in blue, and I just kind of looked to him, ah, yes,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: shrim in Belfast, and just walked away.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what I just going on your business.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But you know, the Olympics goes on for about three
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: or four weeks, so I'm pretty sure we will cover
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: it in some capacity in the common weeks. But for
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: now we're talking about the Edinburgh and Fringe Festival. For
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: those that don't know, it is a month long arts
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: festival in where else in Edinburgh, in Scotland. And I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: would always describe it as like a comedy gae tuct. Okay, yeah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: so comedians Irish, not just Irish comedians but from wherever
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in the world would go over and set up camp
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and do shows every day for thirty days, two shows
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, whatever the hell it might be. To vary
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in degrees of success. Some people have done very well
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: out of it. Some people have forged strong careers out
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of it. Some people, such as one half of this podcast,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the Northern Half, went over for one day once in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: his life and said to hell with everything to do
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: with this and never set foot in the place every again.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But we want to talk about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: because you are a hardened veteran. You've done a couple
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of tours, as the say NBA I have.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I've done a couple of tours of it, and it
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gets to a point two where some people love it,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: some comics love it and everything about it, and for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: me it's like, eh, but it is. You have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: do it. If you're thinking of doing comedy, you have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to do it a couple of years.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: If you're going to be serious about it, you gotta
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: do it right.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You gotta do it. And for people wonder, what do
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you mean, well, how is it got? I mean there
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: are venues under stairs, there are venues in nice venue rooms,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: there are set up venues that are built by by
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: companies like Gilded Balloon. There are it's everywhere and any
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: there literally could be a thousand shows going on like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It's been. It's bananas and everything from I mean it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it's primarily based around stand up comedy, but everything from
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Bolex is up in unicycles doing and mind.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Made yeah, like street jugglers.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'll get into it in a minute, but it
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was it's primarily stand up comedy, and it is well
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: worth it because for a young comic, you bang out
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: typically it runs about the twenty six twenty seventh, you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: know that kind of way, and then you run every
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: day and if you're serious about it. Some guys put
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on compilation shows, which is just to hand away for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: them to make a few quid. But by hosting the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: show and having like five or six comics on who
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: are going to do ten minutes each and then you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: expose your ten minutes and you flyer at the door.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: If people like you, they'll come see your show the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: following day, it's typically free. Now there's some ticketed ones,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: obviously with the big with bigger names and people who
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: are with agencies and stuff who've gotten them into.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: If you think you can sell a ticket rather than
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: give one away, by all means work away.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. And the other side of it is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the free fringe. The way it works, you do your
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: show and at the end you say would you pay what?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: What do you think it's worth? And I'm sure nowadays
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: there's revolution, there's all there's a couple of different banking
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: apps that people can just tap their phone.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: A little white square that you can.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Tell yeah yeah yeah. And then but back then and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: i'm sure still to this day, there's you. There's the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: bucket at the door and if people change on them,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they chuck it in our five or tenors. You know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it's been good. It's been bad. It's been buttons, it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: been I don't sorry, I don't carry cash. It's been that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: But the thing is you come back bulletproof because you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: will garner a year's worth of work done in one month.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I mean yes, Will
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: your liver or suffer, by Jesus Christ, the will chair.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Will your health suffer? Yes, you're in Scotland. There is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not a vitamin to be found. The only thing that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: will keep you in some way healthy is that you
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: do typically have to fly your own show. You can
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hire flyers for whatever whatever You're going to pay them,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: maybe fifteen quid an hour to fly for a couple
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: hours a day. I don't know, but you're The thing
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: about Edinburgh is there's hills in every direction. It literally
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: looks like the staircases from Hogwarts. There are streets under
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: streets where you're It's an absolute bastard of a very
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: nice city, put an absolute bastard of a place, especially
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: because it's Scotland and it does he's it rain. We
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: love to think of it as oh, it's the sunny,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it's sunny, it's going to be lovely getting people in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: would be people come into night's air conn. I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I've had hot days where it's so humid that people
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: almost die in the shows, then cold pits and wet
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: days the following day where people are just coming in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: begrudgingly because they just need shelter. Do you know what
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean? But I've done I've done five tours of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Edinburgh and I don't think. I don't think I need anymore.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I don't people. I still get a message you're not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: doing the Edinburgh French. I'm like no, and it's not
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: because I don't like doing stand up. I love doing
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: stand up. But here's the thing. I can't buy the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hype chair, you know what I mean. And that's just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: me to the core. And I'm like, I get it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I got what I needed from it. But do you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna run with the bulls. I have to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: run in the other direction. It's my it's just my
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: go to set up default setting. I have to go
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in the opposite direction and go no, you know what,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something different, set up my own club
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: here in Ireland.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And why not, well, you know, to give people some
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: idea that would never have a give you're done a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: great description of it there. But we've all been to festivals,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. We've all been to you know, shall
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: we say, oxygens and electric picnics and whatnot, and there
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: are varieties of stages and varieties of tents and whatnot. Okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: so you will have, if I understand correctly, the Guild
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Balloon stages that our bigger part of Guilded Balloon Company.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Who would have bigger acts on people that I dare say,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you never know, Tom, you might have heard of, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of names that may have been unlocked the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: week here and there and whatnot. That's very much like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the main stage of electric picnic. And then after that
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you have like your Salty Dog stage, where it's like
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: lesser known people. But if you know comedy, you know people.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And then you have stages which to even call them
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: stages like this is where your cousin's band will be
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: playing at the Horse at eleven eleven thirty of a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: son and there's nobody at it except a few people
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that went down to shame. That's rough. Now, you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: if I was to go over in the morning, you
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you've done your tours so we're not to talk about
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: what you've done just yet. If I was Oj Simpson,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: if I did it right, yeah, I went over in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the morning. I would be going over to Edinburgh, Scotland
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: for one month to do at least thirty gigs under
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: my own name, Jerry McBride on the Marquee in a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: room that may or may not be a room for comedy.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I will say, like up towards like the Guild of
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Balloon is very like like you know that the Embassy
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the snooker.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's kind of like.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you see the snooker on TV.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: There's like you're looking at one match, one snooker table,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: but sometimes you'll hear clapping from next door.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like, oh.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: It's clear to me now that there's like six games
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of snooker going on at one time here and the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: different audiences in each.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But I've been in that environment because there's there's obviously
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the giddlea Blloon. Then you have another crowd called Underbelly
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: who set up around the place as well, and I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'll regale you with one of them. I have a
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: few stories.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I have more than let's let's let's get into the stories.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Like I said, if I was to go over in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the morning, to me, it would be Jerry McBride on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the marquee of someplace and not for not to as well, Tom,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you might not get it. You might not get Oh okay,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So my show was tonight at eight o'clock, where people
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: would naturally be going out for comedy and maybe out
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: for a pint and a couple of and a feed
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and we see a show and go home. Not the case.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I was over there, and god love it. Those lads
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: running shows at half ten in the morning. Yeah, those
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: lads running shows at half one at night over micro bars.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, one.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Of them by some mem Hey hit me with your stories, buddy.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I did you you'd see it. But the thing is,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it's not like a normal day in the city either.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: People physically come from all over Europe and right there,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I say, the world at certain points and purposely take
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a three four day visit to Edinburgh for it. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: they know I'm going to get in five shows a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: day and a good batter and different I'm gonna I'm
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going going to five Yeah, people do it. People are
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have been really big comedy fans three years, but I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I one particular year with just to talk. I did
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: want and a much like that. It's a great venue
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: called the Pear Tree. It's a huge, big beer garden
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and they have what it's almost
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: like a pub in the sense if anybody watched a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: baby rein there, like there's there right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: At first glance, at first glanced to where I thought
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it was, I was like, oh Jesus Christ, I'm halfway
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to Aberdeen here. This is not the city center that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: But when I got there, I went, oh, no, this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is actually I just walked the Hogwarks Way to it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and ended up going walking nine times further, and I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: should have. But it's great that there was four or
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: five venues in it, more maybe maybe six venues in it,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and all you know rooms. I took an I took
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: an attic room which held about fifty people, about fifty
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to fifty five people, which if I could do that,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and I was doing all right. The only problem was
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it was half nine. It was half nine or ten o'clock.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It wasn't too late, but it was late enough.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It was okay, okay.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: People would come in with a bit of sauce on right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Ye all fine. I was able to handle it. What
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I couldn't handle chair was straight across the landing from
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: me was a bunch of art students, lads and cup
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: up from England. I think they were all called and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I swear in my life there was definitely which was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: hilarious at the time for me. If you remember the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: character I played in TV one was called Torquin. There
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was two tombs in the group which killed me. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there was like, you know, a Toby and like a raffie,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know. And they did musical comedy, sketch comedy through
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the medium, hold on to You're a Bircher Sardar of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Yuka fucking ladies. Yeah now, thank god, Thank god Tom,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: because for night one I had my audience work snapping
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: because they'd only like four in either packed room. In
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: my audience. Every five minutes i'd get him to go
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: shut the fuck up because the lads were playing to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: nobody and they were like and I saw some of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: their show, it was delightfully dreadful, But all the problem
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was because it was just an actic room. All they'd
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: done was hang curtains at the doorway. They hadn't it
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: was probably a storage room the rest of the time.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't need a door on it. So day two
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I found an actual storage room, a little tiny thing
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that had a similar sized door. I went and bought
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Phillips head screwdriverre and I reattached it every time my
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: show finished and put it back on and took it off.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So nobody went, oh, you know, because other people had
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: other people Oh god, yeah, it was like five stories up.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: But other people use your room throughout the time slots too.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: She would have grasped me up by thanking them and got, oh,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: thanks you so much for putting a fucking door, And
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what, but I did. I would take the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: door off, and I did that for like twenty four
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: days or something, and I put the door back on.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean it was fairly like the treads, but you know,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: there wasn't much left in the fucking door frame by
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the time I was done JR. Yeah, at least, yes,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: we did have the heat every night, but we didn't
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: have ukuleles absolutely fucking melting everybody's brain.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: That's that's that's what it is, like. It's very you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: it's not the Edinburgh Comedy Festival it's the Edinburgh Arts Festival, right,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm right, yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah, and and and
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to that point, to Tom's point there, Now, he could
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: be up talent jokes, wonderful jokes, Tom, don't you know, good,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: good storytelling skills and all that. But you could be
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: across the way from a guy whose full one hour
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: show is screaming into a pint glass for an hour,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: just making this sort of like, oh, oh, I know
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a second verse.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Let me give you that's his whole show. Let me
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: give you an example of the things that this would
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: boil your blood. So one of the sellout acts of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the of the Free Fringe based on his his name
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: was the Chap who played Geoffrey in Game of Thrones's Irish.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Actor course, Oh yeah, little Gleason, isn't he?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, push yeah, and Jack Gleason.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: He did an art installation I saw all I can
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: call it during the day because he did a show,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: an improv show in the evening with another actor, Chap
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: who I think then I think ended up in one
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of those you know, those those ripoffs of basically Lord
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of the Rings Game of Throne style things, you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: like the Seven circles of Inusville or something, you know
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: what I mean, one of these. But he in this
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: particular during the day, and people applaud him for being
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a genius. He rented out a prime spot with a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: big glass window, dressed as a cat for an hour
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and just dandered around the room as a cat so
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: people could watch him through the window. I can see
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the blood pressure coming up on jar Geror's face here now,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and I like, you know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, Tom, I don't begrudge anybody
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that can make a living from the arts. Well, I'm
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: going to tell you one thing, buddy, there's a lot
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I just do not.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yet that's just scutting.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: People would applaud it. People would deployed him looking himself like.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, excellent cat, wonderful catwork. I was transfixed by the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: cat working.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, you won't get you want see.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Can't work like that all the time.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you now, some dinner party, you'll be like, oh,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Jack Gleeson, do you know have you ever heard of
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: the Irish actor Jack Gleeson?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen him perform Cat in Edinburgh at Fringe
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: ten years ago. It was amazing. There a funk off right.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you because you said sometimes
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a fellow can be barking into a jar and that's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: his that's his act. I got caught up. You need
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to be careful of this too. Read the situation. You
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: can be overly nice because you're going to get flyed
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: by people and the Irish lads. The Brits do not
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like the Irish lads in how they operate, because there'll
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: be a big Irish flag on it, there will be
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Irish written on it somewhere, and invariably you have an
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: upper hand. You just do you have an opper hand.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: But you're in Scotland.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well no, regardless, even British punters will go, well, he's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: going to be funny. He or she is funny, typically
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: completely fucking wrong.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could, I could give you. I could furnish
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you with a Sweden names Tom.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I got this particular year. My show was on early enough,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: it was like a three o'clock show or something, three
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: or four o'clock show. I got done and I think
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I was waiting around for a couple others in a
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: bar well known to a lot of people called Finnigan's Wake.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And there's a great room in the back of Finnigan's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Wake about a sixty seater or max sixty seater or
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: but perfect position in a very popular PubL and a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: great part of the city. You should have no problem
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: filling it, you know that kind of way, right? This
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: couple who are doing a two hundred to call it
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: so a half an hour each because they're relatively new.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I did it myself and I'm having a cut price,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: artist priced beer. I don't know who I was waiting on,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: but I had some time to kill and there was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: no point heading back to the apartment. And this chap
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: comes up to me and he says, would you come
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: into our shows?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Man? I just finished my own and he goes, it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: looks like we're short numbers, you know. And then his
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: partner in crime is woman came over and she said,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: would you and I the niceness in me went o,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm full of the beans now, and I yeah, I will,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I will because it seems this will be interesting at
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: least will be interesting. I had a great gig myself.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I'm in great form, so listen, let's you know, let's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: go in right now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They asked me to sit up front. I'm like, Jesus Christ,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you really have low expectations in the numbers here. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they were right. They were right in their expectations. Chair.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: These people read the tea leaves and knew that there
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was going to be about eight people behind me down
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: in the back row and me sitting in the front
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: row with a packet of monster munches and two pints
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: underneath my mind chair chure that was where the phone ended,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the monster munch. Because this chat came out on stage
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and did a half an hour on the harrowing ah life.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: He's been leading suffering from male bolimia, and he did
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that solid and I mean no, I.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Mean listen, I mean there's it's a rough subject and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I would be interested to see how he would mind
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: comedy from that. He take a skilled man. No, I'm
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: not saying it's impossible.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: He no, and it's not impossible. There's loads of dark
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: jokes in there.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, are you gonna have like, you know, my tailor
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Survival or whatever the fuck it might be.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: No, he just went straight up Ted talk.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Here we go, the Ted Talk, right, Okay, So he
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: misread the room, so he didn't. He miss leaned into the.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Fact read festival he me, and then I said, well,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the saving grace he gave gave a kind of a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: nice end of the kind of okay, and Jesus Christ,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: this is awkward and he's directing everything straight at me.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: My pints have gone sour in my mouth. The monston't
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: just are no more use. Then she came out and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: she was hilarious, okay, brilliant for forty five seconds, jair
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: until she hit us with the car crash. Literally that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: how her boyfriend died, and not only that, but he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was they had had a torrented time with her racist
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: parents because he was black and she was white, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: that he died in a car accident, and that I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: mean another half an hour of therapy, I mean therapy,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and Jesus I mean I didn't go to a singlemore
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: show at a single show other than anybody I knew
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the festival. After that, I was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: so scared from it. It was scandless behavior to trick
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: me into that shit.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, if if you're if you're going to shows
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: over in Edinburgh and you get flired, I would say,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: read those flyers carefully and in this day and age
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: of the internet, do a quick little google, because not
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: every show is for you, and uh not everybody's a
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: seasoned comedian, and as it appears, Tom, not everybody's a
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: comedian at all. You could be just walking into a
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: half hour therapy session, which you know what, you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: that could be that could be the Hey, who's to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: say that's not going to be the next fleabag? You
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Listen, Baby Rain there was the biggest load of shit
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of an actual stage show. I remember. I remember that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: on the goal, you know, prior to him as his acts,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was terrible stuff. But
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: then when he actually developed this one man play called
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Baby rein theer telling the actual story of how he
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: was a shy comic. Yeah, it was a great story.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm not all these gigs are like I had.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I remember getting outside that that that poetry one. It
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: was one of the most late. It was one of those.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It was those you'd call it a road to Damascus coming.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: It was coming to Jesus moment where the entire audience
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: went left the room. I'd put the door backward. It's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: supposed to be backed up me bag was delighted with
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the lovely show and walked downstairs and the entire audience
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: had had a conflab. Didn't all know each other, but
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the entire audience waited outside the door of the actual building.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I gave me a stand, I give me an ovation
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: as I walked out. It's nice, it was, do you
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: know what?
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And maybe they were going to hammer the shinity or something. No.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And the same night I went across the road to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a bar. I said I'll have a quick drink because
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I was, I mean busted with the tiredness, but I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: said I'm gonna have a quick drink. And at the time,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: my hair was because of the TV show thing I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was doing, had kind of bleachy streaky things that I'd
• 27:00

• 31:23
  Speaker 3: I'm like, even stabbed. I said, the door to this place,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: and I just thought it'd be only right to come in,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: as fucking christ. I'm trying to touch jokes here and
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: this is I'm doing the quick version. She dragged us
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: over five six minutes. I've just chirping in every so
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: often as to what the next Dooseph Horror was.
• 31:43

  Speaker 2: I've got a month of this to come, and you
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: know what I want to tell you to I'm like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you know, if that was the day, if anybody's listening
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: to this and you've grown up on party second Instagram
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: reels of Comedian destroyers heckler, comedian does this, that and
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the other, and you're expecting, like you know, Tom to
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: turn this around into witty, snappy kind of thing. No,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: that's not that's not the reality of it. In actual fact,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: this would be a YouTube video called Comedian gets smashed
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: in the face with a glass because he tried to
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: get too smart with a woman who was crying over
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: her father who was stabbed outside this very venue. I mean,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and now I get Hella likes Tom.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: To be fair, I could probably do something with it now,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: but let's be honest, the training wheels were still on.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I had no idea what I was doing, and find
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: me even I've told this the season's comedians, and they've gone, yeah,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Some of these You just let them sit and move
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: on about your business.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And my wife got her out of the venue. She
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: was like, and we got it back on track, right,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And I thought her, oh great, she's taking her out
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: onto the street. She sent her away or put her
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: upstairs for a coffee or something. I'm back on track.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going shrewsh you know, colourpool kind of a woo. Yeah,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: and everybody's gone high no, right, anyway, do you want
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to go back to the joking jokes? And I've got like,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I've got maybe seven or eight minutes left. I'm going,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's do it. Let's have a good,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a great time. Anyway. So, like I was saying, and
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: all I can hear from outside the fucking doors.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's just keening outside the front door.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: She couldn't get her, like she was welded to the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: ground right outside the door of the venue.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And it was a basement one, so there was no
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: road noise. It was beautiful venue. But there was a
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: little foye right outside. Oh Jesus Christ, And she me, yeah,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and here's here's where here's people were so nice they
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: put money in the bucket and neverthing afterwards. The high
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: five minute like that was fucking yeah, and it goes
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in fairness, we're going to talk about this everywhere we
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: go because this is going to be unbelieving. I was like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I know, Jesus Christ, the whole thing's turned around, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: And the woman was gone at this stage. Two days later,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I see somebody sends me on a review. Somebody had
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: reviewed that. There was a reviewer, was one of the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: other twelve in the room, Like, what's a reviewer doing
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: in pre the festival?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Anyway?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Turns out this reviewer was actually wrote for some horticulture newspaper,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: but they actually brought him. They bring in anybody who
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: can actually put a sentence together, and they opened their
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: opening thing was, oh man, he didn't even look doesn't

  Speaker 1: even look like a comedian.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, Jesus Christ, which is lies town right away?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I know I know that jar but Jesus looked like
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: an accountant body. You know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It's like, come on, Jesus Christ. I just went through
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Hell week, like the real one, not the celebrity one.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I went through buds. I got out the other side
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I have my steel. They actually hammered that wing wing
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the wing badge into my chest like that is what good?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Bat are indifferent? You survived that and you stuck around
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and then this motherfucker comes out from the bushes with
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: like one of his piano wires and two bits of
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: stick and just wraps around my neck.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you're getting like whistled and arrow whistling

  Speaker 2: it has to be said, was out in the street
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: with his head in a bucket. That was it, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: jeans heading a bucket upside down in a bucket. It
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: must be said, Ah, hey, that's that guy. That's his
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: still Okay, but even that guy, you won't talk about
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: him like, oh, he's that gay. Every now and then
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: there's someone you talk about it and you're like, oh,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and there's this this lady. Yes, this lad this segment.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Tom has always been kind of floaty. Anybody can be
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: this lad man, woman, dog, animal, vegetable, mineral And who
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: are we ascribing this lad to this week? Well, it's
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: a product, yeah, yeah, and you know it's it's kind
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: of like a joint. It's kind of like a joint winners,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's not just the product,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: it's the shop that's bringing us.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: To the product.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And the product should be very familiar to longtime listeners
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of the Tom and Jerry Show.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Do you know what it should be? But it's not
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: familiar enough to me because I've yet to taste it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I've yet to taste You tasted it with me, brother,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: did it?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: It was delicious, actually, if I remember it was actually
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: it's wow.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: It's it's I will forgive you for forgetting the taste
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: of it because it does tend to kill memory cells
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: every now and then.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: It's it's like something that the Simpsons would have invented that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: The product we are talking about, ladies and gentlemen is
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: mcdaid's Football Special, a soft drink from the fine folks

  Speaker 2: There, but I'd hope to go down and get a
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: bottler kind of it for the show tonight.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: In fairness, there's something kind of sad sellouty about it
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: in a way that it could only be gotten in
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the northwest of the country, like in one little enclave
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that's you know, the hills of doney Gall, and they
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: build the wall around it, kind of thing like its
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: own little seceded union was up there doing Nordy things,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but they weren't actually Nordis, if you know what I mean.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And they had their own minermal drink. I know, you
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: know it's out.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: They've left it out now, like you know it's you

• 39:32
  Speaker 2: by a company from cal mcdade's and we used to
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: get the odd drop of it down and Monaghan like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: and that would be from Doneygall to Monoon. You might
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: see it in the odd shop now and then not
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: a supermarket. And I'm talking a long ass time ago. Okay.
• 39:48

  Speaker 1: They have a Banana one.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I've yet to taste that all right now.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna we're gonna figure that one out as
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: we go forward. But the Football Special, I've had that
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of times, and it is. People ask
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: what does it taste like? Tom? It tastes like Football Special.

  Speaker 2: not orange flavor, there's no pineapple, it's not raspberry, it's
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: not a mix of that. It's just special.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: It's one of the Yeah, it's one of those very
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: few things you just can't It doesn't have a comparison
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: much like Jedwards. Do you know, there's nothing you can
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: compare them to. To other pilots, maybe, but it's Football
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Special is doing its own thing. And I I and
• 40:39

• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what wolf they hired to get that in,

• 43:19
  Speaker 2: That's so big they can do whatever the hell they want.

  Speaker 1: They could put it down with the saws and the
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the hammocks and still be able to sell.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: That's why I couldn't get a bottle of it. He

  Speaker 1: See may by some fellas making football spesion bats at
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the back, not another one.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta tell you something about the the
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: advent of Football Special. If you see about the Football
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Special in your local label, by all means, try it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: It's actually very nice. It was very nice when we
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: drank it a couple of years ago. That's easily ten
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: years ago when we had a bought the Football Special.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Uh it it's a brown liquid. I know, I'm not
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: doing nothing to sell it here now, but it's cold
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: as brown, cold as brown, brown like doctor pepper. It's
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: more like brown like lipped and tea. Nice.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a transparency to it. You can see
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: through it.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, gravy. Yeah yeah, you're not selling me. No,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Like do you know when you step into a puddle
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: that's kind that you know, there's kind of.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Like a strong tea colored.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what it is when you drink tea
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: through you. Remember you call to those cousins that had
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the Pirate X cups as well, Yeah true, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: but cousins always seem to have these brown pirates cups like,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: so that's that's what you're dealing with. But the fact
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. It was out since like the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: fifties and sixties, and it was based around the reason
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: why I was brought it out. Now I don't know
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it was the football is in soccer or was a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Gaelic football, But they were doing so well and they
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: were winning so many trophies that I'm guessing it was
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a local curates or somebody stood in and went like,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you can't be putting booze into it every time to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: drink out of it, and they developed mcdaide's developed this
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: soft drink to go look this and do and what.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: But like you, it's a look it's not that we
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: both know Donny call is not a hurling stronghold. So
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's either Gaelic football or so I.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Would imagine I would I would imagine Gaelic football because
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: as you say yourself, that tomic goes back to the
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: nineteen forties. So this sligmam now here is like do
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: you quick sums? There one that can do quick something?
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Ninety years old? Yeah, eighty five years old.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: It took him that to get into legal, and since then.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: It was the bust up. The tradition of after you
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: would win local championship or whatnot, you would drink from
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: the cup. You would drink alcohol from the cup. So
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: I just have wonderful images of these twelve year old
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: don't you all that it's just slushed drinking potchin out
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: of a cup? I did. I don't know if that.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like these are repocable stories now, but
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: I know what, by our way, there were certain cups
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: that they drilled holes in the bottom of them so
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: that you couldn't drink out of them.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Because it was a bad luck to be drinking out
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: of the cup. Wise, just drank out of bottles.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Like our schools our schools cup that we want that.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever mentioned it. The medals
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: over there somewhere anyway, it was just a controphy.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: There was no but I mean, like you know, it's
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: just a trophy over trophy and lake. It's some craven
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: harmony here. But no, so they said, okay, well we
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: can't be drinking alcohol out of the cup, but what
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: can we drink out of the cup? And apparently someone said, well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: I'll mix you up a soft drink.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Do you know what now you talk about Nick?
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: You know, let's not drinking milk out of it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: And I wonder is there a market and could you
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: partner her up with mcdates or maybe they've thought about
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: themselves make making ice pops, making doing I mean, they're
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: never gonna they're never gonna come out and do their
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: own cock But there has to be a Doney call
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: cocktail of a football special cocktail. There has to be.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: There has to be what would you There's gotta be right,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: what would you put in it? Captain Morgan hang on
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the second arm. We's got to have a sporty sounding name.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Rattling through my brain for a letter Kenny pond here, Yeah, yeah,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, a letter Kenny ice teak hair comedians there.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: We've just put ourselves on the spot.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: A letter, Kenny. I'm trying to think of places in
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: don't go. Yeah, it's just she's Glinty's stayed the glint. No,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: there's nothing, I got nothing.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I got it one door and banger. Yeah, there you go.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: What would you put in the duney gall cocktail? Tom?
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: You would put whiskey in it? Number one. Okay, let's
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: just be honest here. You would put whiskey in it, Vermouth.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I've just heard of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: it before.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Going in whiskey you would get you going in. None
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: of these jins, no ices. Just football Special, that's what
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. That'll be an horror. I hate you wouldn't
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: stop me from drinking it.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you I didn't drink now, to be honest
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: with Yeah, we're next for football Special. Now. You mentioned
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: ice pops. I think that's a wonderful idea you can
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: have that mcdaide's. That's a freebie from us.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I think. And you stumbled upon this a couple of
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. I think they're well you got my brain
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: thinking about this a couple of weeks ago. And I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: think because we talked about Roy the Rovers being for
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: soccer and football specialists for football. Jesus Christ, I mean,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: are you telling me that somebody can't make one for
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you know, rugby hurling, you know all.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: The banana stufs for Oh yeah, let me see what
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: else to have. Sorry, I'm gonna do I'm gonna do
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: a Jamie here on this one. Here and I want
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: to look them up. Talking about banana, one is a
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: brave choice. That's a brave banana is a brave choice.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: You say something.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I've had. I've had a drop of the banana stuff.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't drink too much of it, now be.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Known it just immediately I'm just getting scutterers. Do you
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: know that kind of way, way too much sugar to make,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Because you remember he was like the age of flavored milk.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: You could get syrups to flavor milk, and it was
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: obviously strawberry strawberry chocolate, which obviously makes sense, of course
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: they do. But then you get to banana, and I
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: remember thinking the banana this is too much, even as
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a child, that was like, this is we've gone mad.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: This is we can mix these two flavors. This is
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: too much.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna need you a full of ten here. Okay, now,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: can't wait for the entire this is every product mcdade's
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: cell here, okay, Jesus Christ, right, Okay, So they'll sell
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: red lemonade and white lemonade. Okay, so the very spring
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: in that recard. So they make minerals. I don't know
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: what to tell you, right, they make the football special,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: right for filling the cup. Yes, and it's made to
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: produce a unique foamy head, so it'll it'll it'll hold
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: ahead like a like a pintas MidiX. Right, So you're
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: either on that training or not, buddy.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, yeah, I know, I'm down. I'm down.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: It makes a thing which we call cheese. Now we're
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: reared on tom. I think we've mentioned in this very
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: podcast before a drink called American cream soda.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: They make that today as well.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: They make American cream soda is made like. That's not
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: a strange one. I've had that from several different companies.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: But these are two now that they would have bust
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: out and donegall and I'm sorry, I beg your pardon.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: They also do a classic cola and a classic Orange cream,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: which I guess are just oranges and colas. But here's
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: the two now after the football special that kind of
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: knock them up a notch in Doneygall Okay, chicken ranches
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: and all exotic pineapple, don't you know, now, there's nobody
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: in Doneygall ever tasted the pineapple before they tasted exotic pineapple, so.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: They probably elbowed lilt out of it. Why go on?
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: And then the other one is, and we mentioned it already,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: is smooth banana.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I get orange, I get pineapple.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: But you're getting into it like those there's almost a
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a bit of a well that's that's savor.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: There's a hinter of citrus to it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: But banana, you know, like, think about it. You're going
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: to start up a new company making drinks. Well, what
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: will we make when we make orange? No, every fucker
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: is making orange, but what every fucker not making them?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Po data drinks?
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Banana potato atually as well would be a good one.

• 55:35
  Speaker 2: can you give you any bad manners, any guff And

  Speaker 2: what we do here at Tom and Jerry Show, or
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: we don't start him.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, that's a lie straight out the gate.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Don't stop, because we do need to address something that
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: you brought up with me a couple of weeks ago.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: And I'd say we're going to be at some sort
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: of lockerheads about this, or maybe we won't, but there's
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: definitely a rowd to be add on the fact that
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: shops are pedaling now. It's as we record this. If
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: you haven't looked at the date, and you're just going
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: back to the back catalog, it's now July almost all
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: fair enough, August maybe right now, right now, you can
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: get to the halloween, Halloween gear in the shops. You
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: can get if you look hard enough, you can get
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Christmas gear coming up in the shops. And Jesus there,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not you. You say things that you
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: say every so often, you can knock a hustler and
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: all the rest of it. Capitalism has just gone banan
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: nurs to you know, ban flavored drink. That's where it's gone.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna let them off. I'm gonna let them
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: off the hook. I know you are passionate about seasonal events.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I do love an hell season. Tom, oh, god, you do.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: You love a seasonal event.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: So me and Tom are both of a vintage that
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: we remember that Christmas stuff started appearing in the shops
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: first of December. Maybe okay, Halloween stuff didn't appear in
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: shops at all because that wasn't the thing. But maybe
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: the week before Halloween you gets balls, faces and masks
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: and orange string bags of monkey nuts and things like this,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: maybe a week before Okay, Easter. Easter eggs went out
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: about a week before, and the gain like this was
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: what it was nowadays. Okay, the calendar seems to go
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: first to January, Easter eggs hit the shelves. That's not
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: me making a joke.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: That's one hundred percent.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: That's that's a one hundred percent fact. Is kind of
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: like a bit odd to see Christmas stuff in July.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: But what's fun. This was We got sent a tweet
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: that you can buy tubs of roses in Tesco right now.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: And the only well do that now, Tom, that's the
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: thing that can happen.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: The only you gotta say about that, I mean it's
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: you can buy Usa a sort of biscuits all year round. Two.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is it that you got to ask yourself,
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: like how seasonal.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Is a doubble roses? People do get People buy a
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: box of crisps for some reason, and they buy a
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: tub of roses. These seem to be things synonymous with Christmas.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: But like you put their you put yourself in their shoes.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: The warehouse is just filling up and filling up and
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: filling up, and you're like, God, Jesus Christ, let's just
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: put them out on.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: The Do you know what it is, Tom? It's not
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: the fact that it is a tubber roses, because these
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: tubb of roses, and we've seen tweets to verify this,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Like the expiry date on these roses is November, so
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: they're not made for Christmas. They're literally aren't going to
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: last Christmas. So these are just like I guess summer chocolates. Yeah,
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: but it's the it's the implication of I get it.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: But it's not like they're selling you, you know, a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: yellow Christmas tree. You know they're going it's an Eastern tree. Guys. No,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: God? I would have way more trouble with some of
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the shit that's that ops are selling. I'm not that
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: hard lined over Christmas. I'm like, you know what, to
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: the to the point where like I would have been
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: one time. And I know people love to jump on
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: this bandwagon, but here's the thing. There is no greater
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: peace of mind to knowing that I don't have to
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: bother my shit with Christmas presents because my wife has
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: that started since this summer. And she's got storage because
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: one thing women love is good storage, and she will
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: have hit put away that I wouldn't have considered. You See,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I was the ideo. I was the idiot that come December,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty second I'm going off for the love
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: of Christ, do you know what I mean. I'm the
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: guy buying the shovel at the mine rather than bringing
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: it from you know, the I'm the idiot is getting
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: charged three times for that jacket. You know, Oh yeah,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: you're gonna buy your ski gear at the ski the
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: skier's art you not that was that's me.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy a sun cream in the airport, there
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: are you, buddy.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: But she is able to get that ship now early
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: doors and put it away. And when I go, have
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: we present a b No. I did that in August,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus God bless you. And she's able to do that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: in August now. And if she wants to buy roses
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: for some aunt or some nana who loves that ship,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I wouldn't cross the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: road for roses. They just disappoint me at every bite.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: They really do. There's so many more superior cret we don't.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Give away a free round their time. And I could
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: come back around and I'm.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough, But there's there's more. There's more
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: landmines in that tub than there is fucking sweet, you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: know sweet?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: But Tom, like that's one thing. You know, nobody's stopping
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: your gun out and buying a bottle of perfume or
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: a Gillette raiser in the middle of the year to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: give to some cousin or some such like. Like they're
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: putting a decorations, Tom, And I'm gonna just like watch
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: me now all right, Sorry, I know this is not
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: good podcast, and I guess it makes a little bit
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: of a rattle there. It could be wee ghosty buys there.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, you have three porson ghosty buys all together.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Look at them there, look at like three sort of
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: banshee sort of lads. Are three sort of Lord of
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: the Rings sort of lads. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: a Halloween decoration. Tom, I'm gonna tell you that now right.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I could live at that any time of the year,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: to be honest. She has a backdrop to a podcast studio.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: All right, what about this we last year a wee
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: girl with a witch and she's sitting on a banana.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Sitting on a banana. Well you know it's the moon.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Oh oh Jesus right, I thought, why why have I
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Why have I got these?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Tom in arms Rach, I'll tell you why, Okay, Because
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: there's a shop up away from us called Home Sense.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: It's I think it's a oh yeah, and they have
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: they have their Halloween ship out, not like a better buy,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: a couple of hazel nots in case they're also that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: it's like here is Halloween and arm decorations three months
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: ahead of him.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: There's a place called Jimmy's that, by god we have
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: to do a road trip Jimmy's in Cashle. You would
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: lose your mind. But I don't think it is discount.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: But it's got hardware of a of a huge range.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Now good, I will tell you here and now it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: is all the finest chineseium you will ever meet. I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: don't think Jimmy's has storage. Jimmy's is just a huge,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: huge and I think their storage is yon shelf. So
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: if they're getting in smart, they're going, we're going the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: we're buying the fucking Eastern stuff at Christmas, we're putting
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: it out. And that's that. We're putting the stuff out
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: in July, lads, because it's either that or staying in
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: the truck.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Is that is what I feel. You know, I can't
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: wrap my head around the economics of putting tubs of
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: roses out in the middle of the summer. But what
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: I will say is this, I know that what I'm
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: buying in Home Sense or Tkmax in July is what's
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: left over from last year.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Sure, here's the injured people.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: And if I if I don't buy it, now, I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: won't get it in November that we go see sorry
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: that the little girl with the little witch on the moon.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Wee girls seeing that, and just like I loved it
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: and had to have it, and I seen these sort
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: of banshees up here and I was like, no, that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: is actually now any day of the year, that is
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: actually kind of cool.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Listen, storage costs money. People mightn't realize that when it
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: comes to the shop and that ships sitting in there,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: making you not only sitting there. So put it on
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: the shelf, put it out front of the house.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Someone will give you a tanner for Look.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. People can have their pist about it,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: but here's the real I'll tell you the reasoning behind it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: It isn't just to sell it now. Because they've got
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: lots of ship to sell, loads of ship to sell.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: They can tell you you ain't gonna see the monkey
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: nuts this early because they'll go off. What I'm saying
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: is if you see something of it early and it's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: got a witch on it or something, it's because it
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna make him any money sitting down the back.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Chances are it won't actually be there come Halloween. Like
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Jerry said, it's twenty twenty threes shit that's on the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: shelf right now and they're just empty. And that outcaus gone.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Put it out front. If it doesn't sell, smash it
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: and put it in the skip. How's that will?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: Someone will give you money for it? And like I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: feel tow like everybody starts rouse over them putting out
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: the Halloween stuff early, or putting out the Eastern stuff early.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: You're putting out the christmastuff early. Nobody ever gribes about
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: them putting out the back to school stuff in June. True, true,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: because people that know no, people that know I'm going
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: to get that sort of stuff maybe a wee bit
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: cheaper than I'll get it on the last week of August,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: and I'm prepared and i haven't gone on holidays.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'll tell you. I'll tell you the one though it.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Might have a bit extra money in my pocket right now,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: so before I go on a sun holiday and blow
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: all my money and don't have it to spend in August,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: I'll buy it now.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the one that sneaks under the radar
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: and never catches any heat, no matter when they put
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: the stuff out. Saint Patrick's Day. Never Yeah, do you
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: know why? Because they're just hoping to catch tourists anyway,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: And people are like, sure, somebody will buy that outshot anyway,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: this is their football Matchohn, do you know.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: What I mean? You know, Tom, You're absolutely right now, it's.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: A great one. It sneaks under the radar. People are like,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: but sure he is Ireland, Like, do you know it
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: is Ireland?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: It's it's the it's the start of August now, so
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: it's easily eight months before Saint Patrick's Day twenty twenty
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: five and I was down in Apple Green there and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: I've seen an eight pack againness get out of town. Yeah,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: earlier every year, buddy.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Do you want to know? I think I'm sure I've
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: told you this person off air or whatever. But I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: walked my stupidity and I will shut up after this.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: But my stupidity came to the four one night, and
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: my irishness came to the four one night when I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: was going to do a giga in Oma and I
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: got stopped. It was the eighteenth of March. I got
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: stopped outside of the town by a bunch of other people.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: We all got stopped. We weren't allowed driving to the town.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: But this copper and I put my window down and
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm trying to get the dailies, Like I'm
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: trying to I don't know this town. Where can I park?
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: And he was like, I can put it over there.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: You're not getting the town tonight. Why what's happening? Alarm
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: bells said, oh, man, I should have shut it up up,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: but he went, no, they're practicing marching. And in my head,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: my Republic of Ireland head south of the border, very south.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: In fact, I had thought it was the day after
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day and my initial thing was, well, fair
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: fu complating three hundred and sixty four more days of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Saint Patrick Day. And then lads are out there just
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: pounding pavement trying to get in their mockness or whatever
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: they're trying to do. And I did all this in
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: my head, thank god, and I didn't utter it out loud,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: and the cop in fairness looked at me again would look,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: and he just went, not that kind of march.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: The as you mentioned Macknus there, Tom, we had the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: we had the Olympic opening ceremony there, which we don't mention.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: It was no harm, but I'll give you one thing.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: I'm here trying to make jokes out of it on
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Twitter at the time. And the one that I tried
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: the hardest to make but I couldn't make it, and
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: then at the time I was like, it's not worth making.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: It was the way we're all these friends lads on
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: the side of the on the side of the sin,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: and they've got the big Mackness heads on them and
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: they're all doing all this kind of stuff. And I
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: was trying to get a joke to work, well, like
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: who are these guys mockness but it was spelled like
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: the way the French spelled Jacques as mockness, and I
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't work.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, don't you know?
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: And then you just have to accept that these aren't
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: all going to be winners.
