• 1:02
  I for playing a game of Chicken here Thomas to talk for to go to
• 1:29
  produce this Tom and Jerry Show. I was going to and I went no,
• 1:32
  no, you know, I know it's up to now. He's just
• 1:34
  staring on screen for the I could have went on for a long I could
• 1:38
  have went on for a long time. That could have been an hour,
• 1:40
  just the two of us staring. Because one of the tick of the other.
• 1:42
  I would have just left the back in track play, just let it
• 1:45
  play. The listener would be like, wow, this week's episode is slight
• 1:51
  on content, but no, we introduced it. How are you doing?
• 1:53
  I'm Jerry McBride. That is my good man over there, mister Tom oh
• 1:57
  Many, You're very welcome along to this week's Tom and Jerry Show. What's
• 2:01
  the crack everybody? Jerry, I'm sweating. I don't know about you,
• 2:05
  but there's no good whisper. We had to go about shorts a couple episodes
• 2:08
  back, and I did everything in my power. I'm not wearing them now,
• 2:13
  but I did everything in my power. But I broke yesterday. It
• 2:15
  was that humid. I had found myself in a pair of shorts. But
• 2:20
  that's not that's not my big issue, A big issue right now, I'd
• 2:22
  no sooner gotten rid of the crows out of my garage, put up garage
• 2:27
  doors, put up garage doors. Jerry crows were like if they had middle
• 2:30
  fingers, they were sticking them. What back me? They're like, which
• 2:32
  side are we supposed to be on this? What all these animals like right
• 2:38
  now? Like they just have so many trees to live in, And these
• 2:42
  crows just decided, now we're having this garage and we're gonna shit all over
• 2:45
  his floor. Got their rid of them? Happy Day Friday turned up yesterday
• 2:50
  on Saturday to show herself the new garage door to delighted. But you went,
• 2:53
  what are them? Wasps doing? Christ above Christ? So the crows
• 2:59
  is obviously keeping nothing good. There's nothing there's nothing good in the country that
• 3:02
  has wings. Tom maybe a turkey, and maybe that's even portion. The
• 3:07
  only thing I have time for is that hawk and it just eats mice.
• 3:10
  There's there's a pair of hawks and they eat mice. Now I'm down for
• 3:14
  that. I'm like, good on you, good on you. But anything
• 3:16
  with wings in the countryside is just a bastard. These wasps now and I've
• 3:21
  done. I filled the gap with expanded home that they're trying to get into.
• 3:23
  They started. I went up there today. These demonic wasps have started
• 3:28
  eating the foam. They started getting it and chucking it out. Yeah,
• 3:34
  delight them with themselves. Thanks for the honeycomb, thanks for the crunchry.
• 3:37
  I will literally burn this new garage to the ground, down to the foundations
• 3:39
  to get rid of And that's where I'm This will end up being that,
• 3:45
  you know, like that mister Bean movie with where he was after with the
• 3:47
  bee. This will be where we're you'll find me next week, not even
• 3:52
  is. Yes, I love broken. I have broken these these wasps.
• 3:54
  So that's where I'm at. That's where I'm at, Sweaty, that's where
• 3:58
  you're you blue, you blue, part blue past the summer there a little
• 4:00
  bit. We we're recording now on a particularly humid even it's not all that
• 4:04
  warm out there, but it's like it's like breathing through a wet towel.
• 4:09
  It's like being interrogated, yeah, you know, by the boys and about
• 4:13
  one of these places this is the Yeah, that's what I'm liking in this
• 4:15
  fine summer's evening too. We don't go over the top here or exaggerate at
• 4:21
  all, you know, Jerry's one hundred is exactly what it's like. This
• 4:27
  is exactly we're getting water boarded just walking around the place. The listeners of
• 4:32
  the Gamo Bay, that's what That's what it's like around here. It's just
• 4:36
  Guantanamo Bay, animal bree the I'll tell you one thing. The listeners they
• 4:42
  don't know. They don't know because like both of us have our little home
• 4:46
  setups. If you're following the clips on social media, you know, both
• 4:48
  of our setups look at like and we can't have a fan going in either
• 4:51
  because all you'll hear on the mic is the whole time, and you won't
• 4:56
  hear aer adults tones. So we're suffering for our art, condn't you know?
• 4:59
  Be like the drone that was hanging around outside your window, or the
• 5:00
  side distractors that hanging around outside my window, or the cow that continues to
• 5:04
  goes ah ah. Yeah. Are the are the crews? Are the bees?
• 5:10
  Are the wasps that we're giving out about now? Tom, I swear
• 5:12
  to God it's it's just a NonStop fight against a buzz. It'd be just
• 5:15
  it'd be that's this. It'd been just easier to call around to each individual
• 5:18
  listener's house and just redo the podcast over and over in a quiet scenario so
• 5:23
  they can enjoy it without any of these outside distractions. As a hell of
• 5:28
  a way to break the listenership, figures to me, Tom. But anyway,
• 5:32
  man, we do. We've got at least four stops. We've got
• 5:35
  at least four stops to make. One of them is my mother's house.
• 5:42
  Well, I'll tell you one thing before we launch on any further. Tom
• 5:44
  woos me again. These are all fourth world problem problems. It's too warm,
• 5:47
  and my phone is kind of broken, right, my phone's broken in
• 5:50
  the most annoying fashion. Tom, Ah, it's not. It's not like
• 5:57
  me. The charger you keeps on filling up with all us to it.
• 6:00
  No, although that is gripe, And now I will say no, I
• 6:03
  dropped it and I kind of chipped the bottom left hand corner of it,
• 6:06
  all right, the tiny bit of windscreen. Yeah, and that's it all
• 6:11
  gone, because it's all living. I wouldn't mind if that was I wouldn't
• 6:15
  mind if that was that. But what it's done, right, It's made
• 6:17
  about a quarter of an inch, quarter of an inch all the way down
• 6:20
  the left side. Dead you with me, So you're trying to you're there
• 6:27
  on the alphabet. The keyboard comes up and you're trying to type, and
• 6:30
  you're trying to type the Q. The Q is too far over to the
• 6:32
  left or the P. Yeah, sorry, the left the left the left
• 6:36
  of a and on the left. So it's like until I get it fixed
• 6:42
  or until I just muscle through it and I can't use the letter Q.
• 6:46
  There are certain things I can't reply to a tweet with a picture because that
• 6:50
  icon is too far over to the left. I can't even anything that icons
• 6:55
  to this. Evening's voice notes was extraordinary long, and I was like,
• 7:01
  what this is like a man who's been burst in to write something to me
• 7:04
  for a while and you just had to say loads to me in that time.
• 7:08
  It was like, but that clearly makes Yeah, that makes sense.
• 7:11
  You would have sounded like you, Yeah, I'm happying Tom, And you
• 7:15
  can go back to the messages. I sent Tom a message there said I'll
• 7:18
  be ready to podcast now in about twenty minutes. I would have been ready
• 7:21
  in ten. I just couldn't press the one. You could do the slash
• 7:28
  and needed to have it. No, I couldn't. Maybe I would have
• 7:32
  gotten that you could. I probably could have said nine, nine fifty nine
• 7:38
  minutes easy. Yeah, we're here now. But again, it's just one
• 7:41
  of these things where technology lets us down and it doesn't let us down.
• 7:44
  Tom, I dropped the phone many times on the way. Are crazy,
• 7:46
  as you said, forced world problems. So you're cribbing about your smartphone,
• 7:49
  here's me cribbing about my new house like Jesus Christ. Yes, you're right.
• 7:54
  Listeners, shut up, shut up, and let's let's get on into
• 7:58
  the podcast. For crying out loud, Let's get on into the show.
• 8:01
  Let's get on into the show. Yes, I agree, Tom's let's launch
• 8:03
  into the first segment of the show. And it's the first so first weekly
• 8:09
  what have you? I want to say, the summer, Tom, But
• 8:11
  that's what we've called this what we call this segment because this segment takes place
• 8:16
  with all the Shenanians of the week. You know, what was the big
• 8:18
  noise that happened this week? What was the brew? Haha? Tom,
• 8:20
  you know what it is? What's the weekly what have you? This is
• 8:24
  a very complicated case, mod you know, a lot of ian's, a
• 8:26
  lot of outs, a lot of what have you, and a lot of
• 8:30
  strands to keep in my head. Man, the weekly what have you?
• 8:33
  And I mean, there's so many starts to some We started the summer,
• 8:37
  I think it's a couple of weeks back. But he started a barbecue season.
• 8:41
  We started barbecue season with a couple of weeks back. That was barbecue
• 8:43
  season. But that wasn't technically the start of the summer, No, because
• 8:48
  the summer means nothing to us as older people really are just like, well,
• 8:52
  that's when I get a bit sweaty, that's when the midgie's by trying
• 8:54
  and bite me. But as a child, it is a very definitive thing
• 9:00
  like that, what the summer only actually starts now? And your kids,
• 9:05
  I'm guessing on holidays. My young flets started holidays the other day. But
• 9:07
  I say that his life is a holiday, kids, His life is a
• 9:13
  holiday, my kids. Thomas got to be said, that's the weekly what
• 9:16
  have you? This week is? It is the official start of the school
• 9:20
  summer holidays leaving sairtas I would imagine over unless you're doing Japanese or music or
• 9:26
  something like that. Latin, you know, inking my scripture whatever it is,
• 9:35
  for an extra couple of points to do veterinary science and the in or
• 9:39
  wherever it is. You cared because you wouldn't have gotten it in Dublin because
• 9:41
  you know, but these are the last last all kids. By the time
• 9:46
  you folks hear this podcast, my kids will be on their summer holidays and
• 9:50
  and and that has to be it, because my kids were left to last
• 9:54
  to go on their summer holidays. So we said we'd take a look back
• 9:58
  at summer holidays as kids, because we have summer holidays now, Tom.
• 10:01
  But it's a week here, a week there, going here for an hour
• 10:05
  or two, not what the kids have Tom, which is like eight to
• 10:09
  nine weeks, just straight do nothing, nothing, nothing. I'd say out
• 10:13
  west all day for doing nothing, and all day for doing it like I
• 10:20
  have. We were talking beforehand, and there's no I don't have any famous
• 10:24
  five Enid Blightan memories of my childhood. When it comes, I don't actually
• 10:31
  really remember our family going all our remember is the outlet continuously working. I
• 10:37
  don't remember really going on any holidays. I think we went to friends.
• 10:39
  Honestly, like when when you think about it now, and I'm not going
• 10:43
  to be like kids these days. But we didn't have a summer camp,
• 10:48
  Tom, There wasn't a summer camp where you went to for every morning,
• 10:52
  which was basically school, but maybe with with ga sports or we did and
• 10:58
  things we did have. Any was about four days, I think three days
• 11:01
  maybe in the entire summer once. And my long abiding memory of even as
• 11:07
  a tiny child, was going this seems very disorganized. That there seems to
• 11:13
  be more order at home that and to their credit, copious amounts of chickene's,
• 11:18
  Remember chickadees. I'll tell you one thing, chicken teas and tip tops.
• 11:24
  WI will paper over a lot of cracks and that's there you go.
• 11:26
  I mean, it could have been three days about a neglect, but top
• 11:30
  of mild pile in my memory was the chickens were never ending. As far
• 11:33
  as I remember, the walls of my mind palace are plastered with stinger bars,
• 11:41
  the walls of your papalon shaped stinger bars and postman pad suits. But
• 11:48
  I gotta tell you what I gotta I gotta tell you one thing that became
• 11:50
  a bit of a tradition when we broke from primary school. And I seem
• 11:54
  to remember now, and I could be wrong, this is we want to
• 12:00
  say this upfront, ladies and gentlemen. In some instances, these memories are
• 12:05
  forty years old, easily thirty five. Yeah, thirty seven, I would
• 12:11
  say. At the earliest memory of primary yeah, yeah, good gay yeah.
• 12:16
  The four out come to the end of the year. And I gotta
• 12:18
  be honest with you, Tom, I think the Shenanigans about me going to
• 12:22
  school. I can't get a straight answer as to when I started school.
• 12:24
  I really can't. I genuinely can't. Was it a roll and start?
• 12:28
  Like, oh shit, I think it was a role start. I honestly
• 12:31
  think the baby infants twice, we should like you just and I can't get
• 12:37
  a straight answer out of anybody. Did I do baby inference twice? Oh
• 12:41
  well, you know, maybe what can answer is that did I or didn't
• 12:45
  I? I don't like I honestly because the stupid he went to baby inference
• 12:48
  twice. It was just like I like, you know, they let him
• 12:50
  going six months early and then kept him for another six months the other side,
• 12:54
  or I skip baby infants all together. I can't get a straight answer
• 12:56
  on any of this. I wouldn't hold it against him because I can't get
• 12:58
  a straight answer around anything to do with me under the age of like twelve,
• 13:03
  really, because not that I think they're hiding it from me. I
• 13:05
  just don't think they bank those memories. Like now, heaven forbid, our
• 13:11
  kid gets a new pair of shoes, we have to take a photograph of.
• 13:13
  Do you know what I mean? Right exactly? Yeah? Yeah,
• 13:18
  Like my wife's paar and family were good for taking photographs back in the day,
• 13:22
  and good they'd take four a year, whereas I, honestly I didn't.
• 13:28
  I barely existed the first time I saw myself it's the most mine.
• 13:33
  I must send it on to you. It was our American cousins had come
• 13:37
  over with a video camera in the early age, and that was the like
• 13:43
  I knew I existed back then, but I didn't really know exist until I
• 13:48
  saw amost have a video camera. Being, I might add the most confident.
• 13:52
  I can't wrap my head around the level of cockiness was always with you
• 13:56
  town, but even now was this bloke. I gotta tell you, like
• 14:03
  you know, I can't be the only person like I reckon. There's a
• 14:05
  whole generation of Irish kids that got to about the age of like twelve or
• 14:09
  thirteen, and we're convinced Uphill and Downdale that have been adopted. Ah yeah,
• 14:13
  yeah, is there any picture for me before the age of five?
• 14:16
  Not really? Well, like, what can you tell me about before?
• 14:20
  Stay at school? Okall all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, one
• 14:24
  hundred percent. You were full dropped off because I was number three at that
• 14:28
  stage. So it's like, all right, you know what what what what
• 14:31
  are we doing here? What are we doing here? In egos? But
• 14:35
  yeah, I remember on the school holidays we had a team. There was
• 14:39
  one on the last day there was obviously because teachers, you know, I
• 14:43
  just wanted to bust out the fags and whatnot. They didn't want to do
• 14:45
  no teaching, so we were encouraged to bring in sweets. It was the
• 14:48
  only time you were ever allowed to bring in sweets, and I the last
• 14:50
  day was a sweet day. Yeah. And because my old one shopped in
• 14:54
  a she shopped in Clonmel oddly instead of Tipperary Town where, which would have
• 14:58
  been much closer. I don't know why shop there. I think there was
• 15:01
  just more options. Whatever she used to had worked there. One time she
• 15:05
  was able to get country spring, which you couldn't get in a three liter,
• 15:09
  the marshmallow flavored one. You remember that. There was one that was
• 15:11
  it was clear lemonade, but it was like, what did they call it?
• 15:16
  It was cream soda, cream soda, that's it. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:18
  yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was it was at the time,
• 15:22
  for sure, full of carcinogens and stuff, but the kind of good
• 15:24
  gear that would send a bunch of four and five and six year olds out
• 15:28
  the but and it was a three liter bottle, so everybody got some.
• 15:35
  So that was my I was the hype man. I was basically the drug
• 15:37
  dealer at the time. Sweet We all had built up some sort of immunity,
• 15:41
  did like stingers and dan bars, but only once in a blue moon
• 15:45
  with a man landing with a three liter Yeah, scream soda and blow all
• 15:50
  our skulls and clear out the sides of our head, going berserk. And
• 15:54
  thankfully it's a it's a country school, so we had four acres to run.
• 15:58
  It was was handy race. They could just let us off in the
• 16:02
  high grass, just go have a kid, have at it. We'll be
• 16:06
  mowing this down for bails. Next week. I do remember one thing we
• 16:11
  did, Tom, those one came to be a tradition, and I think
• 16:15
  it only started. I think the first time I would have done it was
• 16:17
  the last day of school before the summer. I think when I would have
• 16:19
  been maybe toward or fourth class, because I remember we did it two or
• 16:22
  three years after the fact. It was sort of like, we'll do that
• 16:26
  on the last day school, sort of a thing on the road leading the
• 16:30
  Air School which we walked. There was no buses. Yeah, well no,
• 16:33
  we had a bus. We had a bos all right, we had
• 16:34
  now I say that, but it was an ex Dublin City bus. And
• 16:37
  I mean x by about thirty years this thing you don't seen that, right,
• 16:41
  you'd have seen the like of it in lasted the summer wine, if
• 16:44
  you get me. Just just had a lot of chrome engine just rolled down
• 16:49
  a hill, a lot of chrome trim, you know from the seventies.
• 16:52
  You're like, this is a very Even as a youngster, I was going,
• 16:55
  this is a retro looking Visa ship bus. But it was shiny as
• 16:59
  well. On the road leading up to Air School, they were of course
• 17:02
  ditches, Tom, okay, and this is not some you know hedge school
• 17:06
  crack. This was like a school arm road on a primary route that had
• 17:11
  ditches. We said, all right, yeah, slag and be a battle.
• 17:15
  And in the ditches there grew really weeds. Rag war tommy was sort
• 17:18
  of like heavy stalked yellow flowers sometimes white, a country weed yeah yeah yeah,
• 17:26
  which would be in full bloom in the summer. And it lined the
• 17:30
  route the whole way, up and down the road, but maybe a quarter
• 17:33
  mile of it. We call it here for some reason. It's the Irish
• 17:38
  for ragwort is booclons ragwort. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know who was
• 17:42
  the first person to suggest it, but someone said, let's pull all that
• 17:47
  and throw it on the road. Yeah yeah, I get that. I
• 17:52
  get it. And one hundred or so kids, eighty two one hundred kids
• 17:56
  that was the whole school, by the way, that was everybody for baby
• 17:59
  infants to was like maybe eighty to ninety kids just pulling handfuls of ragwort out
• 18:07
  of the ditch and throwing it on the road until it was like a foot
• 18:10
  deep on the road and cars had to slow down to drive through it.
• 18:11
  And we pulled every grain of that or out of the ditch and out of
• 18:17
  the road and it was one of the best crackers I ever had in my
• 18:19
  life. But do you do you know why you're pulling it? I'll tell
• 18:22
  you, will I tell you why you're pulling it? Oh, it was
• 18:26
  it was mob It was mob mentality this stage. Someone said let's do it,
• 18:29
  and we did it. But why why it became a thing like you
• 18:33
  must pull? Like what was the other thing elsewhere? I know inst thing
• 18:34
  we did. We didn't have it much grown in the ditches, but I
• 18:37
  know that if it's grown anywhere, you gotta be pulling it like you can't
• 18:41
  like you can get fine Jerry, it can blow the flowers that can blow
• 18:45
  into your field. You can get fined for having that growing in your field.
• 18:48
  So you have to and you can't cut it for anybody wondering. It's
• 18:52
  got tiny little yellow flowers on the top, and it's a tough, old,
• 18:55
  rooty thing and grow like four or five feet tall like some of them.
• 18:59
  Because we used to get I'll never forget it. It was a twenty
• 19:02
  acre feel. Myself and my brother pulled every stock of it. We got
• 19:04
  twenty pounds each. I was maybe eight or nine, he was probably six.
• 19:10
  Took us a couple of days, but we've got twenty pounds each for
• 19:11
  pulling it. Because this ship, if left unattended, you see what it
• 19:15
  is, it'll get bailed into the hay cow's pison scoals and its yeah,
• 19:19
  yeah, it's pison scows more than not working a second time. But I
• 19:22
  gotta tell you we weren't pulling it out of benevolence, you know what I
• 19:26
  mean. We were going to be out the neighborhood. It was in.
• 19:29
  It was in you genetically, or if some kid knew it was a bad
• 19:33
  thing at the top but thought it'd be still fun to pull it because I've
• 19:36
  pulled this stuff before and you all went, well, that looks like diplopment.
• 19:41
  Well, I gotta tell you, Tom, I don't know. I
• 19:41
  mean, yeah, maybe I don't want to say you're wrong. But we
• 19:45
  got given out too for doing this by the grown ups who told us don't
• 19:48
  do it again. And we again the next time, and then I think
• 19:51
  we got a school bus. That's do you know what? That was your
• 19:55
  dirty protest? I weighed the second time round wasn't the first time was just
• 20:02
  great crack the second time and I waited a whole year. I cannot wait
• 20:06
  for one whole year like pull every one of the god damn weeds out of
• 20:10
  the out of the hedge, and went at it an awful and very hard
• 20:15
  tom the second year and it just wasn't the same. So yeah, that's
• 20:18
  Paul. Days off, I was like, you want to call me all
• 20:19
  right enough? Yeah, I know, I get. I actually get the
• 20:22
  see the the wild rebellious, frothing fever or fervor, the spell that you
• 20:29
  were under of naughtiness at that time. It had passed. It's it,
• 20:33
  do you know what? It's just as well he hadn't something else, like
• 20:37
  some poor woman wasn't grown like prize winning petunias, prize roses, you would
• 20:41
  have becoming up. You would have sucked them out across the road. Jesus
• 20:45
  Christ. As far as everything else, as time progressed from me, it
• 20:48
  was into work. It was working. And I think that's why, Well,
• 20:52
  that's what I wanted to city town. That's what I wanted to Citio.
• 20:53
  When you were when you when you mentioned yourself and himself pulling all the
• 20:59
  rag weeds there, did you you do that in the summer, Because this
• 21:00
  is what I want to say my kids are shaping up for a summer of
• 21:03
  there are a couple of summer camps and a couple of things like this,
• 21:06
  and it's just in days where it doesn't bounce like you know, Okay,
• 21:08
  I'm going to be working there and so on the fourth So they're gonna go
• 21:11
  into a camp and it's just gonna you know, say what it is.
• 21:15
  It's more school for them, and it's somewhere to send them and get them
• 21:18
  out of the other than that, now, there's going to be minimal anything
• 21:23
  done by any of them. They're they're they're they're ready to chill out and
• 21:26
  have a nice summer and and and and play and do all that sort of
• 21:30
  crack Tom I want to say, when we were their age or thereabouts,
• 21:36
  there was an element of work to summer. Well, of course there was,
• 21:41
  because what a lot of people don't realize, especially in the countryside,
• 21:45
  ship got to be done and not just in the like you're here, no
• 21:51
  doubt, city or urban people with scoff country done for what for you?
• 21:55
  Cultures just roll no, to feed the country in the long run, that's
• 22:00
  where the bases. Yeah, you're welcome in the country. It starts with
• 22:03
  we don't eat all the cows and sheep and pigs that are grown here,
• 22:07
  or all the vegetables that are grown here. They get sent to the city
• 22:10
  and we hang on to some. But you gotta put the kids working,
• 22:14
  because they're a pair of hands, pair of legs. Get after that.
• 22:17
  I don't care, and it's it's it's you don't put them working. Ah
• 22:26
  do an accountancy for you? No? You you what they're put on this
• 22:30
  earth to do. You're a tiny monkey, which is a small menial tasks
• 22:37
  that they couldn't do wrong. Really, I don't know, Like, yeah,
• 22:41
  yeah, but you're going to have I had a couple of them.
• 22:42
  Tom, you've already said you were pulling ragweed in the field. Yeah,
• 22:45
  you can't go wrong there for Tom, which I must say most have been
• 22:51
  nice sor yeah that was. That's why it's still in my memory, Jerry,
• 22:55
  That's why it's still in my memory. Getting there now, not getting
• 22:56
  into secondary school because by secondary school I was p a y By then I
• 23:00
  was I was paying my way at that seat. But in primary school,
• 23:04
  no, you were just rounded up when bails. Youngsters around were just rounded
• 23:08
  up when bales. This writer bound now in the next couple of weeks.
• 23:12
  When July is when you cut your hair, it'll be down, you know,
• 23:15
  and you're just rounded up because they didn't do the big shredded wheat looking
• 23:18
  roundy things that people see nowadays that only tractors to wake up. They were
• 23:23
  the square bals they hold down sitting around the you know the Bourne dance with
• 23:27
  square baials. So you were everybody, family members. Everybody was just rounded
• 23:32
  up cause you got to get him in before it pisses rain. You gotta
• 23:34
  get him up on the sounds real amish, but like who's gonna do it
• 23:37
  for you? You know what I'm saying. Listen to that. We we
• 23:41
  saw doctor song Daddy. Can I go up up on top? I swear
• 23:45
  to God and be careful, bail and bail and get there, get down
• 23:48
  to that was that was it. The summer holidays was a big time to
• 23:52
  get to be told. Get down from that. You mentioned you got paid
• 23:53
  twenty pounds to Paul ragwar Tom. I got paid nothing, my pool.
• 24:00
  You to life. Apart from one time when a man gave me two pound
• 24:03
  coins for helping him to slate his roof, it might have been nine.
• 24:07
  I tell a lie. There was one other time. It was one d
• 24:11
  and one eyed man called Jimmy from back the road. One of the nicest
• 24:15
  fellows the ever meet. Paid myself to my brother. Now I'm going to
• 24:19
  say whom at best we were. I was eleven or twelve at best he's
• 24:23
  three years younger. To take the sheet iron off. We didn't know if
• 24:27
  there was going to be a spest, what we were doing up on this
• 24:30
  roof sheet iron, what there was asbestos, But it turns out there was.
• 24:34
  Oh, it's just hatch that was gone to pure dust. That's probably
• 24:37
  after yeah, okay, yeah, we so just just discussing rather than that
• 24:42
  right dangerous. Yeah, so could have fallen off, could have fallen through
• 24:45
  at any point. Didn't happen what we did when he called back because he
• 24:49
  worked in the local big frame, which I went on to work with him
• 24:52
  afterwards. But we found a bottle of that should have gone into a museum,
• 24:56
  Jerry in the touch, hidden in the thatch. It could have been
• 25:00
  fifty sixty years an old bottle of uncorked Bulmer cider in a proper big bottle.
• 25:06
  It was. It was a cool thing. It should have gone to
• 25:08
  the museum. We showed it to one eyed Jimmy. He was like nice
• 25:14
  uncarved and drank it on us. No, oh, I there's a reason
• 25:18
  why he's one eyed Jimmy. You take, you know, you pull the
• 25:22
  trigger on moments and you know, and there you have in life. He
• 25:25
  survived, He survived. Tell me he could have started drinking that next thing
• 25:30
  you just heard splashing on the ground underneath them after worned a hole straight down
• 25:34
  throughom. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what one
• 25:37
  Jimmy was welcome to take, willing to take that. Some people have made
• 25:41
  of different stuff. That's all I'll tell you. And we got paid.
• 25:44
  We got paid between us. He gave us fifty pounds. Now, it
• 25:47
  took us over a week to do it. Take He gave us fifty pounds
• 25:49
  to do that, so we were rolling it. I mean, okay,
• 25:52
  there's probably four years in the difference between the ragwork job and that job,
• 25:56
  but you know it was it would like, I'm just listening now here,
• 26:00
  you're seventy pounds up. I got paid nothing to do the one job that
• 26:03
  I absolutely hated more than anything else on this goddamn earth, more than anything
• 26:11
  else that I've ever been asked to do. I think of the umbrella that
• 26:14
  cover tom and that's picking stones. It's a stone picking carry on, don't
• 26:21
  And I had to wait, here's the thing you're I'm gonna have to do
• 26:22
  it in my own place above right, Yeah, by unpaid for myself.
• 26:27
  But I'm gonna have to pick stones in my own place above. And I've
• 26:30
  picked I've picked potatoes, I've picked ass, breeze and strawberries and all that
• 26:34
  kind of thing on a fruit farm. When it comes to picking stones,
• 26:40
  people might be looking at you listen to this, and I going like,
• 26:41
  what do you mean picking stones? What do you mean like picking stones?
• 26:45
  Is it like picking stones like you would pick potatoes? Just picking stones out
• 26:48
  of the ground. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much it for I had
• 26:52
  reasons, Well, it's why is because you want to grow a crop of
• 26:56
  some sort on it and as fucking full as stones. But it may be
• 27:00
  like my one, the one I have at the minute. It's a pretty
• 27:04
  virgin field. As I say, it's not a lot has ever been done
• 27:07
  with it. What it actually has a lot of former castle stones, small
• 27:14
  little square castlestones dotted all over, which will make so cool in the end.
• 27:17
  But i'd not have to do it, but anyway, or somebody has
• 27:22
  plowed and rolled the field for something new or harrow the field, and all
• 27:29
  they've done is pull up all the stones and back. Nowadays they have a
• 27:32
  thing called a stone barrier jar, which is like little blades that will,
• 27:36
  like you push the stone back in back in the No, you're the stone
• 27:41
  collector back in your day, back in my day? How did how did
• 27:45
  you? How did you do it? Tom? Did you do it?
• 27:47
  Forward? Face in our back face? Because there were two ways about it.
• 27:49
  Okay, a tractor pull up in front of you with a transport box
• 27:52
  and you walk slowly behind it, and you know, pickstones. And if
• 27:56
  you're again, if you're listening to going like you know what, there's an
• 28:00
  infinite number of stones in the ground. You can't see there every stone out
• 28:03
  of the ground. Yeah, you're absolutely right, And I'll tell you do
• 28:06
  your best to pick every stone your wee eyes can see. And whoever's do
• 28:10
  asking you to do it'll still come along. Go like you missed one,
• 28:14
  I missed a stone in an acre or a ground. But you know yourself,
• 28:17
  therery you'd see a stone the size of your thumb. If this place
• 28:21
  was cleaned pretty good. You'd see a stone the size of your thumb from
• 28:22
  one hundred and fifty yards, you would you got ris, I'm not walking
• 28:26
  even at that. I mean, what do you want? I think I
• 28:29
  did all right for what's been done here. Anyway, those two ways you
• 28:33
  could do it, Tom. You could walk stooped over, okay, ben
• 28:36
  ninety degrees at the waste. Remember Act and Safety from a couple of weeks
• 28:38
  ago. Ben ninety degrees of the waste and pick a stone and throw it
• 28:41
  in front of you into the transport box. Or yeah, you could ben
• 28:48
  ninety degrees of the waste and walk forward and throw them backwards. American football
• 28:53
  styles are like hike, hike, hike, throw them backwards into a transport
• 28:57
  box that was sort of sort of slowly intinate way towards you from behind.
• 29:03
  I would my one was typically forward, But what I had developed and if
• 29:07
  you had copied me, was I'd take my jumper and tied it around my
• 29:11
  waist and have a flap instead of flap, you know, if you tied
• 29:15
  your typically and I'd hold it with my left hand out and you get a
• 29:19
  good shot at little stones in there, and then I could step forward every
• 29:23
  maybe twenty stones and dump them into the into the watching four box. So
• 29:29
  that was my typical from Geez where we are rooting up and we call that.
• 29:33
  We called that the apple pick and the apple pick. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:36
  yeah. People are listening to this jar and gone, how have these
• 29:40
  two cave people? But do you know what I had? I had no
• 29:45
  thought good, better and different of what this was as a child, because
• 29:47
  I didn't know of other I had that. And maybe the kids on television,
• 29:49
  You're gone, sure they must be picking stones in the summer as well,
• 29:52
  or they but yeah, picking, they're picking stones in summer bay.
• 29:56
  You know, just right off camera, we can't see there was a kid
• 30:00
  in the last place we lived, there was a kid. He was.
• 30:03
  We had ridiculously posh neighbors when we lived up in a scare, like people
• 30:07
  who actually were from Ireland. But they spake with these accents. If Jerry
• 30:12
  Ry you can't see Jerry's face right, but he looks like he's just eating
• 30:15
  a den bear or a stinger or a roy the rovers. More. His
• 30:21
  face is turning inward on itself, like the vacuum is being stuck on the
• 30:23
  back of his head. As I did that accent. But these Irish people
• 30:27
  who are very proud to be Fosha. And I'll never forget looking out the
• 30:32
  window on this field beside us that was going to be developed as I don't
• 30:36
  know what the hell they were planning on doing, and they're going to put
• 30:37
  a host head up in there or some shit. And I see the skinniest
• 30:41
  kid, pallest looking thing one day outside in the field and went all right,
• 30:47
  thinking it was some rab scallion of some sort. And here he was
• 30:48
  just arson around in the high grass and he goes, oh, that's an
• 30:56
  accent, all right. He went, I'm an I won't say the woman's
• 31:00
  name, but if you can imagine the most ludicrously posh British owl, one's
• 31:04
  name it and that's it right, And I guess she stands up and goes,
• 31:10
  I'm lips nephew, I'm here to pick and I swear mylife this went
• 31:17
  too. It was like two It was just two societies colliding at two different
• 31:22
  points in their life. But I'd never met this kid. I'd never met
• 31:26
  this kid when I was a kid, because if I had got to help
• 31:30
  him, but he was. He stood up and he went, I'm pulling
• 31:34
  out Jesus, Jesus Christ, Yo, what I'm pulling? Well, here's
• 31:47
  the thing he means, rag war, rag war, tom booglans as we
• 31:51
  used to call him our way, and I'm like Jesus Christ and the poor
• 31:53
  son of a bitch chair. He had the pulling power of a wet sock.
• 31:57
  Like I want to say, no power, This is what I want
• 32:02
  to say. I would imagine so from a my stone picking days thirty five
• 32:07
  years ago, let's be generous, okay, that would put me at like
• 32:09
  nine or ten. I would imagine that there are people who were party to
• 32:15
  that thirty five years ago that still to this day would say McBride McBride,
• 32:22
  Jardan McBride. Yeah, no, yeah, not much of a work with
• 32:25
  that fellow, based on how many stones I picked as a nine year old
• 32:30
  in a field and baking hot summer weather. Yeah you know this, You
• 32:32
  know this whole notion of like, oh you're out in knots on you gotta
• 32:36
  keep hydrated. There was no hydration in the light. I see kids in
• 32:40
  the bottle of mineral out for you young at one o'clock, but one for
• 32:45
  us to share them. Maybe he's never off like they're all it's friends of
• 32:47
  all their little sports bottles with him. They're sweeking out of it all day
• 32:50
  long. I'm going I don't think I drank a bottle of water from the
• 32:54
  age of zero to twenty. I don't think there was no hydration. What
• 33:00
  away it was that came down your upper lip? Yeah, and and and
• 33:07
  and and and and and you're chastised for not doing a good enough job pickstones?
• 33:14
  Why not picking them stones? Right? And I want to pick stones?
• 33:17
  Ah, and and and and There are others that would be listening to
• 33:21
  this podcast Tom that perhaps didn't pick stones, but they probably did something like
• 33:24
  footing turf on the bog, how much I personally never did. No,
• 33:28
  we weren't. We weren't here. No, we weren't tour footing on the
• 33:30
  bug people. That was hell again. We didn't the hell Hell on Earth
• 33:36
  again, terror, which I'm sure was a stoop over Hell on Earth?
• 33:38
  As you just said, yeah, would you? I mean you look out
• 33:42
  over and it's mortar, you know what I mean? I felt bad for
• 33:44
  end of those lads midgie's lived there because you're literally digging them out of the
• 33:46
  soil. Yeah, fresh midgies with every turn and like, you know,
• 33:51
  we were like, maybe I don't have it so bad picking stones or second
• 33:53
  quicks or whatever the hell it was we were doing. Yeah, it was.
• 33:57
  It was a rough gig, but it sounds the thing's going to talk
• 33:59
  to lads to do that ship like, but it was the thing is too
• 34:02
  you're just treated like a smaller man. You're not. Actually, they're not
• 34:07
  going this would be good for his morale and his his team building, and
• 34:12
  you're doing it because it's got to be done. That's it. I mean,
• 34:15
  I don't even think I don't even think you're ik you looked at as
• 34:20
  a small man, Tom. I think you're looked at as more like a
• 34:22
  steerable cow. Yeah. Sorry, You're definitely not being looked at as a
• 34:28
  child. Oh he's a child. It's like, you know, oh look
• 34:30
  look what look what I can get this go to do? Yeah listen,
• 34:35
  yeah, yeah, So that you know, I'm not hearing all this,
• 34:38
  Tom. You know know what I'm not hearing in the middle of all this
• 34:43
  is I'm not hearing any Brian Adams Summer of sixty nine Best Days of My
• 34:47
  Life Ship? Do you know what I mean? There is no kid Rocks
• 34:52
  sitting up by the Michigan Lake, you know, singing, smoking, funny
• 34:55
  thing, wow, you know, no nothing, And I hear sometimes like
• 34:59
  people talk about wow, you know those endless summer days. I remember those
• 35:02
  summer days as the kid. They just used to last forever and it was
• 35:07
  just wow, just the most magical time in your life. Oh, it
• 35:09
  was all right not to be in school, don't get me wrong. Weren't
• 35:12
  laying around the house time, I can tell you that much. I had
• 35:15
  ring the dirt on the inside of my elbows. That's a resounding memory from
• 35:19
  my childhood. It was just dirty, just dirty from being you're just told
• 35:22
  to go do stuff. Yeah, pulling rag well, and like I talk,
• 35:27
  I talk a good game, tom. But I might have done it
• 35:29
  like in a summer. I might have done it six or seven days out
• 35:31
  of a summer, Okay, Like it wasn't like it was all day,
• 35:34
  every day, like six or seven days that you'd be called to do something.
• 35:38
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But I remember them more than
• 35:40
  the fifty days you had off that much, I can tell you. But
• 35:45
  it was either yeah, I mean it was that or because we were where
• 35:50
  we were, it was all around here every second day at least you were
• 35:53
  getting hauled uf to do something. And I think that's why I had this
• 35:57
  air of confidence with my American cousins, because I was just talking with There
• 36:00
  was no children around. I don't remember many, nobody around. A couple
• 36:05
  of kids. We had a couple of kids up the road and we go
• 36:07
  play football and all that kind of thing. But you couldn't do it the
• 36:08
  whole day long. You'd be chased. There was just me talking to other
• 36:14
  other people, but they just happened to be adults, so I listened.
• 36:19
  All I know is that I'm gonna find when that kid hits about eight or
• 36:22
  nine in there, he's getting rag worts. I'm gonna find acres of rag
• 36:27
  wart just so he can get after it and give him no reason as to
• 36:30
  why he's pulling it, just none. Just you're guesting. Just do it.
• 36:34
  I find it needs to be done, and you are. And he's
• 36:36
  not even getting twenty or I'm going to find a twenty pound note somewhere just
• 36:40
  to give it to him for nostalgia reasons. It's already useless, son,
• 36:45
  But this will standing in the long run. So there you go, folks.
• 36:49
  We came into this segment here going like, you know, let's just
• 36:52
  start talking about summer holidays and see where it takes us. It took us
• 36:54
  to child labor and nowhere else. All right, we get on summer,
• 36:59
  we might come back to some all at his bush. We didn't get from
• 37:01
  there. That was just child labor until until about the you wised up a
• 37:07
  little bit, a wee bit of rebelling. Yeah you went you went this
• 37:10
  anymore. Yeah, you got up early and you went for that's what you
• 37:14
  did. Yeah, that's like, you know where you're gone. But what
• 37:19
  have you got the top start? Did you set quick? Did you pick
• 37:22
  stones? Did you turf? Or were you one of those lazy, useless
• 37:24
  children. Let us know in the comments, don't you know workshed lazy bostards?
• 37:32
  What you did? You did piano lessons all some are good for you,
• 37:37
  good for you. But there you go. That's what we want to
• 37:40
  talk about. And you know, we're going to move swiftly onto the next
• 37:44
  segment, Tom because somebody you just said there has has has sparked something in
• 37:49
  me for the next segment. So we're going to get straight onto the next
• 37:52
  segment, which is where we don't just talk about these lads time because every
• 37:54
  time there's these lads, that's those lads. But every so often you turn
• 37:59
  aroun and then you have to say, or this lad, now there's that
• 38:05
  guy. This that for good or for bad? We picked this lad.
• 38:07
  As you may have noticed through the Best eleven episodes, it's just a moment
• 38:12
  where you go this letter, huh, this laddle dude, No, it
• 38:16
  was what it was what you what triggered me? There? Tom was at
• 38:19
  the end of your wrap up of how you got out of summer work.
• 38:23
  Was he got up in the morning and you went missing? Yeah, I
• 38:28
  think that I unpacked myself at the back for someon. Isn't that a segue
• 38:30
  and the living segue that I just laid my mind laid for you there?
• 38:34
  Yeah, there you go. You're welcome. So this week's this lad is
• 38:37
  the infamous at this stage. Jay, what's this sur name? Jay Slater
• 38:44
  is a young man. He is missing in Tennery for two weeks. Tom,
• 38:49
  he was over there on his holidays with the lads. He is nineteen
• 38:53
  years of age, and we want to say, straight off the bat,
• 38:59
  we hope he's found safing well and goes back to his family and goes back
• 39:05
  to his like you know there's been a whole pilot set about him and all
• 39:09
  this kind of thing. But I just look at the first line of a
• 39:12
  news story he says, nineteen year old apprentice bricklayer later and I'm like,
• 39:15
  well, you know what, I hope he's found and goes back and completes
• 39:19
  his apprenticeship and has a lifetime of building houses and good things and none nothing
• 39:23
  else. You may or may not have heard about him. Well, this
• 39:29
  is it. You can't move for this kid right now. No, and
• 39:30
  this is it. We want to get that out of the way. This
• 39:32
  is a good crack podcast. So anything that this is a good crack podcast,
• 39:36
  anything that we don't dip a toe. You've heard our politics one for
• 39:40
  Christ's sake, We're not that. We're trying to be uncont un controversial.
• 39:45
  We just don't care. They not have the crack. So anything anything personal
• 39:52
  about this lad lead that to whoever else wants to deal with that. Where
• 39:55
  Jerry had a brilliant idea to go this was in to the frenzy on Facebook,
• 40:02
  because all I'm seeing on other apps is face they're talking about the frenzy
• 40:07
  on Facebook. It's interesting that it's the first first time in a long time.
• 40:10
  I've seen it going yeah, yeah, yeah, to talk about it
• 40:13
  on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and everything else. What have you seen Facebook?
• 40:17
  Which, by the way, what have you seen Facebook? Is some
• 40:20
  of the Facebook in itself. The only time it absolutely redeems itself, much
• 40:24
  like in Dumb and Dumber, where you absolutely redeem yourself is when somebody makes
• 40:30
  a post of some sort, like some you know, well known maybe glamor
• 40:34
  celebrity makes a post and there's one hundred and fifty comments, one trying to
• 40:39
  outdo the other, like incredible. But this is where the comment comment it's
• 40:47
  it's it's it's outrageous. And what I want to say for Facebook here come,
• 40:53
  I don't use it anymore? No, I don't you use it anymore?
• 40:57
  No, okay, But there are people who do use it anymore or
• 41:00
  they haven't gone to Instagram, they haven't Twitter, and and and they get
• 41:06
  everything from Facebook. Everything's from Facebook, and it is like the mcpoils and
• 41:12
  it's always sunny. It's just like these Facebook is just like redneck social media
• 41:19
  where Alboes as well, who may not be the most computer letters, who
• 41:27
  don't know that when they type things it can be seen. I'll give you.
• 41:30
  I'll give you an example of Facebook, because I do feel a lot
• 41:35
  of it is well meaning. Right. For example, you'll see somebody not
• 41:42
  gonna you know, profile or anthing like that. Older ladies are known to
• 41:46
  do this. They'll share a post of a dog missing. Oh there's a
• 41:51
  dog missing and she's missing and can we please find this dog? And when
• 41:54
  you read the post, it's a dog missing from eight years ago in Nova
• 41:58
  Scotia. Right. This woman's an Aberdeen. Yeah, and this woman's an
• 42:05
  Aberdeen and yeah, it's a lovely dog and I hope that he was.
• 42:07
  But that's that's an eight year old post that you just saw. You didn't
• 42:10
  read the click share and again it was well meaning. You wanted this dog
• 42:15
  to be found, but you applied no critical thinking to it. No,
• 42:20
  you see what I'm saying. It's it's and and and and that. And
• 42:22
  that rolled on into jays Later missing in Tannery. Yeah, where a lot
• 42:28
  of people, the sort of people who would have things like on their profile
• 42:31
  maybe in times gone past that said things like not the snakes around this town?
• 42:37
  But is it you know, just me and the kids now? Not
• 42:39
  here? Not here for a long time. Here for live love left,
• 42:43
  you know, and and and and sort of speaking in slogans like that and
• 42:49
  all that kind of crack. Everybody's entitled you social media. I'm not being
• 42:52
  snobby the u ever house you see face. If you do believe that there
• 42:54
  are nothing but snakes around here, don't let me stop you broadcasting that to
• 43:00
  you, You or your little angles. You know when they're going back to
• 43:02
  school, actually, you know when they're when you've not been left to lose.
• 43:20
  I've we're not we're not rib if you can, if you worst,
• 43:31
  you don't deserve me my best snakes kids now to my eyes, right,
• 43:43
  here's the thing, right, Okay, if someone goes missing, Tom,
• 43:45
  social media is a great player to find them. And I'm not going to
• 43:46
  be if I'm gonna be serious here for a second. I've been party to
• 43:52
  the looking of people, the looking for of people, like not indirect line
• 43:57
  of fire, like not anybody directly belonging to a meat tank. God close
• 44:01
  enough where I would go, let me know what I can do, and
• 44:04
  I'll share it. And you want me to do anything this kind of thing,
• 44:07
  and and sometimes it's young people, and you know, thankfully everybody turned
• 44:12
  off. I think there was a couple of instances where it was like,
• 44:15
  God, I just went out of the house and I don't know me and
• 44:16
  the bugger off the forever for a day or two and not tell anybody.
• 44:21
  People that it would be like of air age or would have been of average
• 44:23
  at the time in the thirties. And I remember those like a couple of
• 44:27
  instances were like in Albay or some such wandered off and was found, thankfully,
• 44:30
  but he just like you know, was old and wandered off on us
• 44:34
  or whatnot. Basic on social media is a wonderful tool for those things.
• 44:38
  I think I saw that man earlier today. I was talking to him yesterday.
• 44:43
  He was pulling. He's pulling rightward up at the top Field asked me
• 44:47
  for a handpicking stones. Say, it's absolutely not. That was ten years
• 44:52
  ago, Tom. What it is today seems to be just a cauldron of
• 45:00
  god knows what. And that's what we're going to talk about here when we're
• 45:04
  talking about this week, this last jays later. I hope he's fan safe
• 45:06
  from world. Let's let's hear that some of the the advice comments on the
• 45:10
  search party on the part there's the same page now isn't there there's a page
• 45:15
  and everything Find jays Later. There could be ten of them at this courses
• 45:19
  courseries there. They're genuinely could be ten of them, because like, this
• 45:24
  has gone beyond let's find this person. This has become like a you know,
• 45:30
  this is the tailors people to people. Yeah, this is like spot
• 45:34
  why spotted Elvis Ah eating Mars bars with Tupac in the in the in the
• 45:39
  garden. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, So I'm gonna
• 45:44
  I'm gonna hit you with some things that were written on the Fine jays Later
• 45:46
  Facebook page. I have no answers to this, Tom, okay, but
• 45:52
  I want your best guess as to whether you think this statement was offered in
• 45:58
  earnest by somebody who felt it was helpful yeah, or in mischief by someone
• 46:04
  that was taking the piss. And I gotta tell you this is harder than
• 46:07
  you think, all right, and also answers from people listening. We want
• 46:13
  to hear what you think. Okay, some of these are like, you
• 46:15
  know, you that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in any of Everybody in
• 46:20
  the room is dumb for having heard it. But your heart was in the
• 46:22
  right place or you're acting the bollocks. Yeah, yeah, okay, hit
• 46:29
  me. Okay. So this was a classic that went This was a classic
• 46:32
  that went through. Maybe a silly question, but if Jay cut his leg
• 46:37
  on a cactus, is it possible he got stuck to it and is still
• 46:39
  on the mountain but attached to a cactus, fucking a wily coyote? Shit
• 46:47
  is that he got stuck to? Like, I mean, for this to
• 46:54
  work, if the if the logic of this works, Tom, what I
• 47:00
  think they're getting cactuses mixed up with valcro and he like anti spikes, you
• 47:06
  know, like there's there's mail and ship and he had he had he had
• 47:08
  hoops and it had loop loops and it hooks and he had loops and he
• 47:14
  just like and he's like Crocky of got more self stacked to a cat.
• 47:19
  I don't know where he's from. Uh, I'm in a lot of mischiefs.
• 47:22
  So do you think that person is? And and and for what it's
• 47:25
  worth that common came in in the early doors of the Facebook group, before
• 47:31
  it had before all the development had had come in. Do we do we
• 47:36
  know? Can you see if a profile picture? Can you describe it to
• 47:39
  me? Can't see it. No, no, no, I can't see
• 47:42
  that because if it was like a sunset, I go, yeah, possibly,
• 47:45
  you know, from a good place. But I can't. Jerry,
• 47:50
  I think that stuck on a cactus. Perhaps he's still open the mountain,
• 47:52
  stuck to God that. Okay, we're gonna we're gonna put that. I'm
• 47:59
  gonna I'm gonna say, taking the piss. I have to be taking it.
• 48:02
  We're gonna go taking the piss on that one. Yeah. Through here?
• 48:10
  Okay, okay, I'm gonna hit you in another one here. Might
• 48:14
  sound silly, but has anyone attempted to leave goodie bags at the side of
• 48:16
  the roads, et cetera? In case he goes anywhere during the night that's
• 48:20
  been searched and needs food or water. You could leave a mobile and blankets
• 48:23
  just in case. I I actually think, what the what the're suggestion is
• 48:28
  you leave like little toad bags of lucas he sporting fully charged iPhones. Yeah.
• 48:37
  Do you know what I did the cadence with how you read that and
• 48:40
  how it seemed to roll. I think that's somebody being real. I think
• 48:44
  that's somebody being real. I genuinely do. I it's there's not enough piss
• 48:47
  taking in it like cactus getting stuck to a cactus. Do you know what
• 48:52
  I mean? What there's somebody's mental right in that. I genuinely think that's
• 48:58
  an absolute mentaler. I do you know what I'm not going to say,
• 49:00
  mentaler. I'm going to say, fully in earnest, with heart in the
• 49:06
  right place, where the punctuations in the right shit, Where the punctuations in
• 49:08
  the right place. No, it looks okay, yeah, it looks yeah,
• 49:12
  I mean yeah, okay, No, it's it's looking all right,
• 49:16
  fairly decent. I think that's dumb shit. You think that's the dumb shit
• 49:21
  to the next one, that's yeah, okay, that's a dumb shit.
• 49:23
  Okay. I am a psychic medium of over twenty years, not me personally,
• 49:34
  Oh God, I wish to remain anonymous, as I am not looking
• 49:37
  to gain fair or profit in any way from this case. However, I
• 49:42
  have been in contact with the spirit realm, especially in ten eight so spirit
• 49:47
  rem recognizes international borders, it seems, and unfortunately I have been unable to
• 49:52
  make contact with any spirits with knowledge of Jay's whereabouts. This could be a
• 49:58
  good sign, as it's ag he is not in the spirit realm just thought
• 50:02
  i'd share Jesus. So, yeah, none of the ghosts that they've spoken
• 50:08
  to have seen Jay. So this is like slightly more unhelpful, Like nobody
• 50:14
  down here has seen him, but nobody in the spirit realm has seen him.
• 50:19
  Yeah have you No, I haven't seen the thing you're you're looking Where
• 50:22
  did you last see it? Jesus Christ. I didn't come down here to
• 50:25
  be for Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's another dumb shit that is. That's
• 50:30
  there's no humor. I gotta be honest with your tom were you know where
• 50:34
  we're We're not sympatico on this because I think like anybody that claims to be
• 50:37
  a psychic medium of over twenty years wishing to remain anonymous, I'm like,
• 50:42
  no, you believe this? Yeah? Does what I mean? Yeah?
• 50:45
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That person has dyed black eyebrows for sure,
• 50:49
  and says okay. But mytention is yeah, but this isn't like, you
• 50:53
  know, a seventeen year old lad sitting home like no. I was like,
• 50:58
  no, no, no, this is a woman that reads the leaves
• 51:00
  or a man that no, it might actually be a man, but he
• 51:06
  has he has dyed jet black hair, and for sure Dyson's eyebrusts maybe has
• 51:12
  a go tea died as well and wears all black all the time. I
• 51:16
  got one for you, go on must be said. Just later, we
• 51:20
  completely glossed over the case. I mean, as best as I understand.
• 51:22
  He was at a They said he was at an event detailed, everybody knows
• 51:29
  everybody, and then and then all of a sudden he wasn't on his phone's
• 51:31
  dead and and all this kind of crack. But someone says, here,
• 51:35
  serious question, as it happened to me in tanner Reef and I was there
• 51:38
  for twelve hours. I don't know if that means I was in tener Reef
• 51:42
  for twelve hours, but or I think it reads more like I was in
• 51:44
  this particular predicament for twelve right, serious question? Has it happened to me
• 51:47
  out in Tenerief and I was in there for twelve hours? Is it possibly
• 51:51
  he nipped into a toilet and the lock on the cubicle door has jammed?
• 51:54
  Have the public toilets in the area been searched? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
• 52:00
  yeah again, I mean like that there is that there is like the
• 52:05
  simplest and I'm gonna go through another one time. They don't get as simple
• 52:09
  as that. But that's literally it's like that. My team went missing one
• 52:15
  time and I had pockets on my trousers. I searched all four of them,
• 52:20
  and on the fourth attempt I found one. Have all your pockets been
• 52:23
  searched? Just asking? No? No, This this to me is more
• 52:28
  like, you know, I can't find the remote? Are you sitting on
• 52:30
  it? Yeah? And like no, I'm not. I know I'm not
• 52:36
  sitting on it. But have you checked? I don't need to? Well,
• 52:38
  why don't you? This is like the you know, it's like the
• 52:42
  Hangover. If they had a thought at the start, Oh, we put
• 52:44
  them up on the roof. Spoiler alert for the Hangover. I suppose they
• 52:47
  would have got him because that's where he was again, spoiler alert for that.
• 52:52
  That's another real person. I think. I think this one is.
• 52:53
  I think this one's genuine. Yeah, I think so too. Not the
• 52:57
  smartest person, but fucking genuine. No, not them, But they're hard
• 53:00
  is in the ripe lit All right, Okay, might be a long shot.
• 53:05
  Now here's I want to tell you one thing, Tom. Now that
• 53:07
  I read these a couple at a time, I'm noticing the pattern they all
• 53:12
  start, Yeah, like silly question. Yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna
• 53:15
  say this. I don't want to Yeah, no, no offense, but
• 53:22
  yeah, not being silly. I think that's a little I think that's a
• 53:24
  little thread into yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's a little thread
• 53:29
  into some of these being piss takes. Might be a long shot, but
• 53:31
  I've heard on the spelt that avy heard. I've heard that sometimes come blow
• 53:45
  might be a long shot. But I've heard that sometimes the missing person is
• 53:50
  in the search party. What if jays with people looking for himself because he
• 53:55
  doesn't really know what's happening. Sorry if it sounds silly, but it could
• 54:00
  be a possibility. What do any of these people think is happening? To
• 54:04
  their comments? Do they think that there's some police officer whose who sole job
• 54:08
  is sitting on the back of a JP van out on the search party going
• 54:12
  I have a new one, let's try and practice one. Like where did
• 54:15
  they do they think they're actually going somewhere any of these things? Like they
• 54:20
  couldn't possibly do they? Or is that is the same as nothing but snakes
• 54:23
  around here? They don't actually haven't thought that far ahead. They're just I
• 54:29
  haven't thought that far ahead. Number one, all of these would have to
• 54:32
  be translated into Spanish for the TENORIFI policy. Can I tell you what I
• 54:40
  heard? And I hope maybe it's on your list? Please? Yeah?
• 54:44
  What you got, oh Jesus Christ? It was this one bloke wroth as
• 54:49
  I understand that Jay was into house music. Has anybody tried bringing some ghetto
• 54:54
  blasters via bluetooth up into the mountains and playing his favorite tunes to see if
• 54:59
  you can draw all him out? Fucking I think it weasels right. I
• 55:07
  think like he's gonna come out all timid and frightened, but suddenly to start
• 55:16
  start viving finally, and he just comes out of chucking tunes. I reckon
• 55:25
  that was someone with with our with our harden. I reckon that was someone
• 55:30
  who hasn't slept in a couple of days time. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
• 55:34
  like they put together a thought process and that's as far as they got.
• 55:37
  They didn't actually think of the outcome. I do think it's another really
• 55:40
  person. Do you know, do you know what it would have got me
• 55:43
  out of a hole? You know what would have walked me up the side
• 55:45
  of a mountain with two broken legs and severe dehydration. Yeah, yes,
• 55:49
  and decent house music, Yeah exactly. If you got another sounds a bit
• 55:52
  stupid. There's another one again, They all start like that sounds a bit
• 55:59
  stupid, But has anyone tried shouting for him? That's a pistick that has
• 56:08
  to be that has to be sounds a bit strupid, I'd like, but
• 56:13
  he tried shouting for it. That's somebody sitting around in the sitting room with
• 56:15
  the rest of our mates who've all sent in a bollocks. You want for
• 56:20
  sure on what you say? Yeah, yeah, this is like trying to
• 56:24
  get on like that quiz call at two o'clock in the morning when you get
• 56:28
  home from the pub. Yeah, yeah, gotta tell you. Sounds a
• 56:31
  bit stupid. But has anyone tried shouting for him? I like to think
• 56:36
  that's something that I would send in if I was cold hearted and I was
• 56:39
  being a bollox about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 56:43
  try. I do my best not to go big with things. Tom.
• 56:46
  I'm just like, that's perfect. I would have rewritten that a few times
• 56:51
  actually, you know, gone too long, and then got no, it's
• 56:52
  too complicated in it, And then I would have just come back, and
• 56:54
  that's where I would have ended up. Has anybody tried shouting for you?
• 56:59
  Maybe you're j wrong. Maybe when you shout it's it's that's that's someone are
• 57:06
  playing like it's someone are playing it? T logic to it? Have you
• 57:09
  tried turning it off and turn it back on again? Why do you try
• 57:13
  that before you try it else? I saw one shipthead, one woman.
• 57:16
  She she typed in and I think she might have been looking for a holiday.
• 57:20
  She she she wrote in I have a labrador who's a really good tracker,
• 57:28
  wants to have a center or something. I'd be happy to bring her
• 57:34
  over if you have an item of his clothing. Come on, come on,
• 57:39
  now, come on, now, you're bringing a labor Yeah, because
• 57:44
  they don't have search dogs at all in Spain. Again, this this is
• 57:49
  like, you know, the the real question we're trying to drill down is
• 57:53
  fucking stupid? Are these people? Like, are they genuinely stupid? Are
• 57:58
  they trying to get themselves a free trip over the tener? If more than
• 58:01
  that in a couple of weeks time, I'm certain, like what what what
• 58:06
  level of stupid are we dealing with? Here? Are we dealing with good
• 58:08
  hearted, good natured people, or are we dealing with dunces or are we
• 58:14
  dealing with bollocks? There's one that, yeah, go on, this might
• 58:19
  be the last I could do this all night here, but we got we
• 58:21
  got up, we got we gotta do. And the one that made me
• 58:23
  laugh out loud, I'll tell you on genuine question yep, of course it
• 58:30
  is. They all start like that, genuine question. But have they tried
• 58:34
  searching for his footprints yet? Just so my young one watching Scooby Doo and
• 58:38
  it seemed to work very efficiently on that Also, any updates, like there's
• 58:45
  only one update, Margaret, They're only going to be one update. We
• 58:47
  found them or we didn't. That's not mark. I'm not going to find
• 58:52
  a snaggy clothing on a on a cactus despite who set up the way.
• 58:57
  No, that'socks. I'm sorry you bring Scooby Doo into anything and you're actingdabolics.
• 59:04
  This one for me, Tom, like this one broke my brain because
• 59:08
  immediately I was like, ugh, of course they would have searched for footprints.
• 59:14
  And then I'm like do they search for do this are foot prints?
• 59:20
  Am I basing this on? Like Billy tracking? Things and predator, Like
• 59:23
  what am I? What? Have I seen them track footprints in? Surely
• 59:27
  detectives track footprints. Maybe they don't track. Maybe Margaret's onto something and I'm
• 59:30
  here looking at this thing and my brain has ceased to work. No,
• 59:36
  you're no, you're not. You're not. You're not allowed to allow your
• 59:38
  brain to not to break Jerry over like you're you're allowing yourself to actually get
• 59:45
  into the mind of a of a person who says things like that out loud.
• 59:49
  Please don't look like this is this is what the duty of tom This
• 59:52
  is what the dudio When you stare long enough into it in an abyss,
• 59:53
  it starts to stare back at you. I really genuinely was there, like
• 59:58
  shit, yeah, maybe you could just follow like his what magnifying and you
• 1:00:02
  know a big boots he's an apprentice Brickley or Tommy of big steel tow caps
• 1:00:07
  on. I mean tramping around the place, leaving big heavy footprints everywhere.
• 1:00:15
  My favorite one, my favorite one, And it was the comment in the
• 1:00:20
  reply to it. I can't find my phone to find it again, but
• 1:00:24
  it went I won't go for about him, but this woman put up with
• 1:00:30
  any updates have the any updates on the search party? Have they had the
• 1:00:36
  chopper out yet? I had last night. That's why I got thrown thrown
• 1:00:45
  off the search party. Yeah, I enjoyed. I enjoyed that. That
• 1:00:57
  was that that, You know, I can't I'm talking you about this for
• 1:01:00
  twenty minutes my brain's program and they're like, yeah, they've got the chopper,
• 1:01:04
  right you silly, you, silly person. And I'm like, but
• 1:01:07
  who fucking told me that ten Tenerifi police you have a chopper. I'm I
• 1:01:12
  just assuming they have a chop but it was your manager play old chopper was
• 1:01:16
  great. I would I would caution against taking a helicopter right for the search
• 1:01:22
  party in case the down draft from it blows away the footprints. Using your
• 1:01:27
  brain on that one, get him smart, like get him off the cactus,
• 1:01:31
  silly talk away with the silly thought. But you wouldn't hear the dance
• 1:01:37
  music over the chopper blade. So one's gonna yeah, any updates, we
• 1:01:43
  need a we need a unified approach to this time. So I gotta tell
• 1:01:47
  you I can't do all these ideas good and all as they are. Once
• 1:01:52
  again, the bottom line from the Tom and Jerry shows that we hope Chase
• 1:01:55
  later has returned to his family safe and well. And a lot of people
• 1:02:00
  lose access to their Facebook. Tom, why don't you go ahead and wrap
• 1:02:02
  this show up for these fine people. I may all I need to say
• 1:02:06
  this week. I may as well, but your look while we're at it,
• 1:02:08
  I gotta draw down with you my head two days. Don't stop with
• 1:02:15
  me what I do, because there's been I wonder at times. I mean,
• 1:02:22
  you call yourself a culture, but there's times when I wonder have you
• 1:02:24
  gone a little adjacent to me? Because we should be doing this live from
• 1:02:30
  doney Gall. We should have done this over the weekend. If we were
• 1:02:32
  true to our to our heritage, we should have done this live from the
• 1:02:36
  Doneygall Rally with a pair of brown trailer boots or whatever the dealer boots on,
• 1:02:42
  boot cut jeans and a Scannia jacket. You can have a messy jacket
• 1:02:45
  on up at the doney Gall Rally. Well, because I know one no
• 1:02:53
  number one you hate not allowed anymore? What did you do to Duney goall?
• 1:03:00
  That's between me and Doneygall? What No, Tom, the Donegall Rally
• 1:03:06
  is on this this weekend gone by? I wanted to bring these fine folks
• 1:03:12
  up to speed with the donegall rally and then we will chip job about it
• 1:03:16
  for ten to fifteen minutes up. It's it's it's the most. It's become
• 1:03:22
  nearly infamous at this stage. But I mean there's rallies all over the country.
• 1:03:25
  You have the Rallied Lakes in Clarney, which I got caught up in
• 1:03:30
  and I enjoyed it. Actually I got caught up and on the way to
• 1:03:32
  gig we're doing the Glenn Eagles and you get all the lads and they're just
• 1:03:37
  enjoying themselves driving around. But it seems to be a festival that has been
• 1:03:45
  created by the people themselves, do you know the kind of way? And
• 1:03:49
  it's adjacent to the actual rally. The actual rally is going on, but
• 1:03:52
  these lads are having their own crack. Lads and girls are having their own
• 1:03:59
  crack as the now you look on it, and maybe a couple of years
• 1:04:01
  ago I was like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
• 1:04:06
  You're out there need twenty year old lexuses and you're breaking the wheels off and
• 1:04:11
  from going. But I see it for what it is. They're absolutely embracing
• 1:04:19
  exactly what they are. They ain't going off to Australian coming back with a
• 1:04:24
  Bandai beach accent. They're not you know, shutting. They're not exactly and
• 1:04:30
  they're not coming back on Hey, what's up with that guy? You know?
• 1:04:33
  They're not. They're not moving to Dublin and we're and dressing ironically like
• 1:04:39
  a you know, a well pampered sailor and only drinking like craft beers.
• 1:04:44
  They're not. These lads are drinking their coronas three at a time for one
• 1:04:47
  reason or another. I don't know why. They're like drinking coronas and they're
• 1:04:50
  standing around thy year old suber rues thirty year old sub rus and pouring their
• 1:04:58
  wages into the things. But man, do they love it. They love
• 1:05:02
  it. Now. I've been party to several machine based get together in my
• 1:05:12
  time. Tom, so have you okay? And uh? The reason why
• 1:05:15
  I said that we weren't going to do a live podcast up at the doney
• 1:05:18
  Gall rally was you know, nobody asked Tom and we thought about it after
• 1:05:24
  the fact. We'll do one next year of the money's right, don't you
• 1:05:26
  worry about that? I think we give get us on the phone there doneygall
• 1:05:30
  the fewd is over ah all while if I we talked about somemer there,
• 1:05:36
  if I wasn't picking stones, do you know what I was at, Tom,
• 1:05:39
  Vintage rallies, steam trash and rallies down for that, Yeah, you
• 1:05:44
  know, vintage tractors, old cars, steam trashing and minalty was a big
• 1:05:49
  highlight of a lot of summers flowing matches as well, Tom not god yea
• 1:05:57
  god ya. And you know a lot of more cycle racing up airway as
• 1:06:00
  well. Through time there was an up up airway, Tom, not for
• 1:06:04
  not the There was a biker rally which I never went to. I was
• 1:06:08
  always like, you know, it never hit me at the right age by
• 1:06:11
  the time, by the time I turned like eighteen and might have had a
• 1:06:14
  head up for going to it. Character across the sturges of the fucking the
• 1:06:19
  Northeast, Honestly, they did the best. For a couple of years.
• 1:06:23
  They had a rally called and I shit you not Tom, They had the
• 1:06:26
  Shagga haag Rally. Okay, there is no row here, people, there
• 1:06:31
  is no row here. McBride's heritage is well rooted. Shit. Well,
• 1:06:38
  all I'm saying, Tom, right, all I'm saying, is I breathed
• 1:06:42
  in enough turf smoke from the vintage rally, enough tvo from the from the
• 1:06:54
  old plaoud match in the old tractors, and heard enough. I'm done.
• 1:06:59
  I'm good, don't need any more rallies. Thank you. I'm sorry.
• 1:07:01
  I know we've given out about Formula one before, and I'm like, just
• 1:07:04
  even even the actual rallying of the race and of it, I've got the
• 1:07:09
  barest of heeds in it. And then you tell me, well, secondary
• 1:07:12
  through that there is the Duney Goal Fringe Rally. That's what it is done.
• 1:07:15
  Goal Fringe, the culture fringe festival for driving where you can hear the
• 1:07:20
  pop pop stainless steel over here. I think no, I think rather than
• 1:07:27
  being around, I want to know I'm not going back. I want to
• 1:07:30
  rekindle this for you. I think we need to do this again, and
• 1:07:33
  I did for me when I was in Clarney a couple of couple of weeks
• 1:07:36
  back when I was down there, and it's just a joy and silliness of
• 1:07:41
  it all. I mean, Okay, maybe I'm looking at it from a
• 1:07:44
  different point of view. Some of these let's take it deadly seriously. If
• 1:07:45
  you put forty five, forty to sixty thousand euros into a card that's forty
• 1:07:49
  years old that would have maybe been bought for one hundred and fifty quid when
• 1:07:53
  it was new. Then maybe you need you need Jesus in your life.
• 1:07:57
  I don't know, but yeah, I think it's well worth. I think
• 1:08:01
  I don't think we'd even look on like aspect. I think much like you
• 1:08:05
  know, a recovering addict of some sort. I think it would rekindle something
• 1:08:10
  in us if we were at something like that where we could absolutely integrate seamlessly
• 1:08:15
  back in among these lads just before you know, forty five years next that
• 1:08:23
  stuff. It ain't going to be a seamless integration, Buddy, some of
• 1:08:26
  the jump street and be like, who's the forty year old man over there?
• 1:08:30
  It's all right, the cops over there. I love vinted Ship.
• 1:08:33
  We rock up to be like, hey, I remember I remember my dad
• 1:08:38
  talking about hanging around with a fellow like that. That's it. I'm telling
• 1:08:42
  you. I have a funny feeling we would integrate perfectly back in with all
• 1:08:45
  these lads, because it's do you know what I mean? It's everything that
• 1:08:49
  you can't you can't give out about people who want to put time, money
• 1:08:55
  and crack into a piece of machinery that goes ba ba ba ba ba.
• 1:09:02
  Come on, I love that they love it. How about that I'll go
• 1:09:06
  that far? Which I love that they love it. Well for anybody that's
• 1:09:09
  listening here that's never seen the Dune Goll Rally, or indeed any up North
• 1:09:13
  rally, but it's the Doneygall Rally, we're talking about it right now.
• 1:09:16
  There's a scene in every single one of the Fast and Furious movies, the
• 1:09:20
  eleven or twelve of them. So now it's always a bit where Vin Diesel
• 1:09:26
  dom Toretto has to get information or meet somebody or throw down or some shit
• 1:09:30
  has to go down where he'll go to a car rally and it'll cut to
• 1:09:32
  a scene and it's always like, you know, the camera always comes in
• 1:09:35
  through the crowd and there's like girls and mini skirts and he'll see their arses
• 1:09:40
  and then the part and then they come through and it's like bare bare yeah,
• 1:09:45
  and it's all strobe lighting and chrome and flames going up into the sky
• 1:09:49
  and absolutely waxed to the nines. Sports cars worth sixty thousand dollars that's not
• 1:09:56
  the doneygall Rally. Okay, okay, all right, No weather would never
• 1:10:01
  be as good as in California or Miami, fair enough, And okay,
• 1:10:05
  we don't we don't have the genetics in our humans around the country to unmass
• 1:10:12
  look like they do, handpicked by the way by a casting agency to stand
• 1:10:16
  around in fast and the Furious but donegall Rally. And I love my people,
• 1:10:21
  Tom, but the doneygull RANI looks like the wish dot Com version of
• 1:10:25
  that. Yeah, And that's why we should go, because I reckon it
• 1:10:32
  would be heartwarming to being among it all again. I reckon it'd be absolutely
• 1:10:38
  heartwarming to just get in among it, be able to spit on the ground,
• 1:10:42
  do you know what I mean? Standing with a can looking at things
• 1:10:45
  that we don't really know what they do, but get you know, everybody,
• 1:10:49
  to be a buzz in amongst it. I reckon, I honestly think
• 1:10:55
  if the two of us were there, we'd be like pigs and shit,
• 1:10:59
  like back when we have avoided rightwork picking. We've got a pocket full of
• 1:11:02
  suites, and I reckon it be the BEA's knees. I would I would,
• 1:11:08
  I would go to the donegall rally one time, I should be known
• 1:11:13
  an actual road race. A road rally is one of the only rallies that
• 1:11:16
  I haven't been to. Yeah, yeah, I mean I've been as I
• 1:11:19
  said before, I've been divined rallies. Ah, you know, political rallies,
• 1:11:26
  rallies for change, Tom, and also rallies for who could plout the
• 1:11:30
  straightest line. I've never been to a road race rally. I've a man
• 1:11:35
  from Ulster to say that, Tom is you know that's that's because up our
• 1:11:40
  way they love rallies. And I didn't know that there was all different types
• 1:11:42
  of rallies. You probably knew all this. You're like Jesus off and one
• 1:11:45
  again. There's your pure speed rally, who can go the fastest around this
• 1:11:49
  course? Right? And then if I'm right, there's your navigation rally,
• 1:11:55
  which is who can get from here to here? Yes, the best time
• 1:11:59
  in the shortest time. It's fine, shortest distance? Well yes, sorry
• 1:12:06
  yeah yeah, And then you have your time try yeah, and you're basically
• 1:12:10
  handed a car and a map and you're like, okay, you need to
• 1:12:12
  get from point A to point B. Oh slows you like take all day,
• 1:12:15
  We don't care. But what you need to do is you need to
• 1:12:17
  study the roads and plot a course for me to b That's the shortest yes,
• 1:12:21
  and that's very much up and that's very much up your weight. And
• 1:12:26
  I only actually would you believe it. I didn't find out about that until
• 1:12:28
  I lived in Cavan and the lad was doing it the whole time, and
• 1:12:30
  I couldn't wrap my head around. It was like, what you don't just
• 1:12:33
  floor the christ and thing from the get goes no, no, no,
• 1:12:35
  no, no, no no no. It's like orienteering. Fucking yeah yah
• 1:12:40
  yah. It like orienteering in a car navigation rallion. He was doing it
• 1:12:45
  in like a land rove or something like what I'd smoke you and he said,
• 1:12:48
  no, it's not about speed. It's like, okay, I'm out.
• 1:12:51
  I want to see plan. I'll tell you things that make my my
• 1:12:55
  knuckles break the desk off when I'm watching it on YouTube. That's what I
• 1:12:58
  want to watch this. This is the one time. Okay, so those
• 1:13:00
  are those two rallying, but this is the third type of rallying and the
• 1:13:02
  one that appeal to me, the best conservation rallying. You're familiar. This
• 1:13:14
  is I'm not making this up. I could you got your conventional speed rally,
• 1:13:17
  You've got your navigation rally, which is our orienteering in the car,
• 1:13:21
  and then you've got a conservation rally, which is how efficient you can drive
• 1:13:30
  from one point to the next. That'll be like the car rally. Yeah,
• 1:13:34
  okay, I get that's necessarily not necessarily dr but not not you know,
• 1:13:39
  Dack, are developments of this that we are both given the exact same
• 1:13:43
  car with a full tank of to the guilds, we doing the top that
• 1:13:48
  what you're talking about. No, this is this is it. This is
• 1:13:51
  it for reals, reels, rallies, Okay, and then you drive from
• 1:13:55
  point A to B wherever it is, and then the fuel is measured at
• 1:13:58
  the end, and whoever is used the least the winner. I'll be honest,
• 1:14:00
  Jerry, you've absolutely made rally it sound way more boring than it actually
• 1:14:05
  is. It doesn't have to. That's the that's the one that that's the
• 1:14:08
  one that funny enough appeals to me because I love I love holding the car
• 1:14:12
  in the in the with the economy needle buried up to the right. I'm
• 1:14:15
  not talking about actually participating in the rally. We would be ship and even
• 1:14:20
  I've driven fast cars, but we will be ship compared to these people I
• 1:14:25
  talk about around for the tom. I'm not taking part in any of this.
• 1:14:29
  I'm not taking part in any of this. I'm just saying, like,
• 1:14:30
  that's the kind of rallying that appeals to me. Nice and quiet,
• 1:14:33
  just driving and fourth gy, you know, well what I don't know,
• 1:14:39
  maybe just just dropping out of car or two going down the going downhills to
• 1:14:42
  conserve possibly my date. It clips I clip that was damn near Shakespearean in
• 1:14:50
  and it's exclamation from this woman. And I'll finish with my my rant on
• 1:14:55
  this one. But it was like a Mark two escort came scooping over this
• 1:14:58
  hill as a they do cost some are and you could see the thing it
• 1:15:02
  was going to you know, it had gone into a bit of a while.
• 1:15:04
  It was gonna come off the road a bit, it was like,
• 1:15:08
  and it was coming down the street. It was like it was a bog
• 1:15:11
  It was like a boggy terrain and they were a bit back from it,
• 1:15:13
  and she just went, ah shit. The car went sideways and came off
• 1:15:17
  the road and smashed in the I couldn't believe they actually they put two Portaloos
• 1:15:23
  on the bend, yes what and she actually went, ah, shit,
• 1:15:28
  And the guy just cut these two portaloos in half like a fucking razor,
• 1:15:32
  Like what a place to put these two things. But the fact that she
• 1:15:35
  shouted shit about five seconds beforehand was absolutely like, there's no way she knew
• 1:15:42
  he was coming off right at that spot, but it was awesome. I
• 1:15:45
  would I wouldn't be sure that, Tom. I mean like, if you
• 1:15:48
  ever watching a good rally up the North and you see like a collection of
• 1:15:53
  people standing in a particular spot they know cars left there before, it's like,
• 1:15:57
  watch this, Yeah, I guess, so I guess. But the
• 1:16:00
  fact that it was ship and they cut through board loos, I mean,
• 1:16:01
  that would have been the type of I was never a fan of Jackass,
• 1:16:03
  but that's the one I want to see where it goes. Welcome to Jackass.
• 1:16:08
  I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is toilet toilet avoidance of the donegall rally.
• 1:16:15
  Sorry Knoxville, Bye. Yeah, this is O shade Cortina. I haven't
• 1:16:21
  convinced, tell I haven't convinced. I know you haven't convinced me with the
• 1:16:25
  rally yet. But if I pick you up, if I pick you up,
• 1:16:28
  next year, and we put a couple of stickers on the car and
• 1:16:30
  like a couple of owl boys. We just had nice ones, nice ones.
• 1:16:35
  Just just a sticker on the back that says two friends. No,
• 1:16:39
  I'm talking about like de wat talk about all the things were into, like
• 1:16:43
  the different you know, we just put a couple of bits to let people
• 1:16:46
  know that we want to be part, but we don't. We're not experts.
• 1:16:49
  Put Scooter on the radio because you know that's our arera. Yeah,
• 1:16:55
  yeah, I mean like he's back, he went away, doesn't look any
• 1:17:00
  different whatever he has been on on he doesn't look anything. You know.
• 1:17:04
  Everybody always said that Scooter or bleached his hair. No, that's from aldehyde.
• 1:17:08
  He's pickled. He's set. No, he got set in the nineties.
• 1:17:13
  That's it. I think if I picked you up, said look,
• 1:17:15
  we have a picnic basketfull of it's your favorite sandwiches. Come on, Yogi
• 1:17:19
  bear in you get and drove to did the driving got up there? I
• 1:17:25
  think you'd have a good time. I think we'd have a great at time.
• 1:17:27
  Tony gots no messive drive. I'll tell you that much. God D
• 1:17:30
  But yeah, okay, let's see what next year brings. Maybe we'll will
• 1:17:33
  bring the Tom and Jerry Show live from the Donegall Rally next year. Stranger
• 1:17:40
  things have happened, but not much else is gonna happen this week because we're
• 1:17:43
  gonna wrap it up. If anybody is listening to the sound of our voices
• 1:17:46
  and would like to hear more of it, they can follow us on Twitter
• 1:17:49

  at Jerry McBride. He's at Tom on the score Omney on either Twitter or
• 1:17:58
  Instagram, not on Facebook. Ah, we don't mean that. We couldn't
• 1:18:02
  We couldn't handle the heat of those comments. Oh, I got to tell
• 1:18:05
  you, what else do we want them to do? Tom, if it
• 1:18:08
  is your first time, of course, hit the bell, hit subscribe whatever
• 1:18:12
  platform you're on. I think it's a bell for Spotify, which is the
• 1:18:15
  most and then the second most is Apple Podcasts. So do Some people are
• 1:18:19
  kind of going, I still have the old logo. Well, what you
• 1:18:23
  do is you unsubscribe and resubscribe and you have the I want to say new
• 1:18:27
  logo. It's been up for a while, but anyway, that's where you're
• 1:18:30
  at. Yeah, we had a couple of people come back that they were
• 1:18:31
  having absolutely no problems. It was only one person for some reason. They
• 1:18:34
  were on Afghanistan iTunes, some sort of a VPN kind of jobby. Something
• 1:18:41
  was happening. We can only apologize for that. Maybe unsubscribed, go find
• 1:18:45
  search for it again. You'll look. You'll see the blue golden red logo
• 1:18:48
  which is us produced by the Grave Rob Steers hit subscribe to that. If
• 1:18:54
  you can't give us the top markings, the top ratings, five stars or
• 1:18:57
  five tombs up, whatever you can, and it makes it more visible to
• 1:19:00
  more people. The more people listening, the more inclination. We had to
• 1:19:02
  make more of these. But you look at till then Jerry. I went
• 1:19:06
  in. I went in here Tom to check now and on sububscribing, subscribe,
• 1:19:10
  and I can't because the left hand of the screen is on froze.
• 1:19:15
  I tell you, gotta tell you some weeks worse than others. I'm going
• 1:19:18
  I'm off to try and avoid as many cactis as like a cac die.
• 1:19:23
  There you go, you see, you know, there you go with us.
• 1:19:27
