- 0:06Speaker 2: to worry about any of that relaxing sitting down Melakey
- 0:11Speaker 2: over the Christmas I had to sit down for almost
- 0:13Speaker 2: a full hour in one goal.
- 0:16Speaker 3: I was wearing proper clothes and.

- 0:47Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, here on the Tom and Jerry Show
- 0:50Speaker 1: with the first real genuine Tom and Jerry episode of
- 0:54Speaker 1: the year with myself, Jerry McBride, his good self, mister Tomallmanney.
- 0:59Speaker 3: And I'd go, I'll be honest with you. I made
- 1:01Speaker 3: a fatal mistake today and I'm suffering the repercussions of it.
- 1:05Speaker 3: The Foul Family are. To be honest with you, I've
- 1:07Speaker 3: been on a bit of a I won't say health kick,
- 1:09Speaker 3: but I've been not eating like a complete like I
- 1:13Speaker 3: did for the three weeks leading up to Christmas and
- 1:15Speaker 3: I've been avoiding all sorts of things, and I was
- 1:17Speaker 3: kind of getting back in, went for a bit of
- 1:19Speaker 3: a run, taking inspiration from yourself, so that might lifting
- 1:22Speaker 3: our way or two, and found myself I made too
- 1:26Speaker 3: much protein shake, Jar, and.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Too much protein? Did you not listen to last week's episode?
- 1:32Speaker 3: I didn't, I didn't.
- 1:34Speaker 1: You're featured heavily and it's I know, I know, I.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Did, I know, I did, but I ate it's so delicious.
- 1:41Speaker 3: And I had one and then there was a whole
- 1:43Speaker 3: other one and I kind of went, sure, I'll have
- 1:45Speaker 3: that as well. And protein shake, just a protein shake
- 1:50Speaker 3: in the old fucking the old ninja, you know, and
- 1:53Speaker 3: I fucking I'll be honest with you, Jar. I don't
- 1:56Speaker 3: know if you've you or the listeners have ever done
- 1:58Speaker 3: a cycle of protein, but I can tell of something.
- 2:01Speaker 3: It's in the market words of of of Dean Martin.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I've got enough guests to get all the way to
- 2:05Speaker 3: the Chicago. It's fucking horrific around here.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I don't know, Tom, I've never drank a protein shake
- 2:13Speaker 1: and said to myself, do you know what I love?
- 2:14Speaker 1: Right now? Another another protein shake?
- 2:17Speaker 3: Well that has to happen to me today here, it
- 2:19Speaker 3: would seem it was so delicious. I decided to have
- 2:21Speaker 3: two of them, and yeah, there's things that happening. I
- 2:25Speaker 3: may have to fucking dip out every so often here,
- 2:27Speaker 3: like just just hit the old silence because it's either
- 2:31Speaker 3: you'll just see tears streaming down from my fucking cheeks
- 2:34Speaker 3: because it's it's not good. It's not good. Yeah, exactly,
- 2:38Speaker 3: the rumblings are bad. It's I may have to pull
- 2:41Speaker 3: myself through with the old fucking Christmas three before I
- 2:43Speaker 3: fuck it out into the forest.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Well, do you know what we'll do to aid you,
- 2:47Speaker 1: Tom now in your endeavors here, buddy, we'll launch into
- 2:50Speaker 1: the show properly for the first time listeners off of
- 2:53Speaker 1: the Tom and Jerry Show. What a hell of an
- 2:55Speaker 1: intro that was.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I gotta tell you holidays.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Myself and Tom our comedians. Tom is a working comedian.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I am what could generously be described as it has
- 3:06Speaker 1: been Uh have a podcast every week where we chat
- 3:10Speaker 1: about several things. We bring it up into three little
- 3:12Speaker 1: segments or you're listening pleasure. The first segment is where
- 3:16Speaker 1: we take a look at the scuttle but the big news,
- 3:20Speaker 1: the weekly what have you.
- 3:23Speaker 3: This is a very complicated case.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Mad you know, a lot of Ian's, a lot of outs,
- 3:26Speaker 1: a lot.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Of what have you, and a lot of scrants to
- 3:29Speaker 3: keep in my head. Man will jump. This is good
- 3:32Speaker 3: for the start of the year because the world of
- 3:34Speaker 3: people are going to be thinking with the January sales
- 3:36Speaker 3: and stuff as we are in this house, and I'd
- 3:38Speaker 3: say you probably have like robot robotic. I was gonna say, Loanmoors,
- 3:42Speaker 3: I have two of those fokers on four legs already
- 3:44Speaker 3: up there, hoovers and whatnot.
- 3:47Speaker 1: And Robert Hoovers as you mentioned, Tom, Yes, that was
- 3:50Speaker 1: that was what the one for all of vegro went
- 3:52Speaker 1: on this year.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Is Yeah, well we're doing We're going to have a
- 3:57Speaker 3: quick look. We probably won't circle back to this again.
- 3:59Speaker 3: And as something terrifying actually happens and somebody dies as
- 4:01Speaker 3: a result, which is definitely going to happen.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Absolutely gonna the robots, Tom, This.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Is the rise of the robots. And you might know,
- 4:09Speaker 3: you know myself and Jerry's obsession with the apocalypse and
- 4:11Speaker 3: how we know it's coming. It's just coming. Well, it's
- 4:14Speaker 3: it's it's screaming ahead. It's tipping along nicely in the form.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Of there have been some developments, ladies and gentlemen, full
- 4:21Speaker 1: on robots, and we've all seen the Boston Scientific ones
- 4:24Speaker 1: or that's bust and scientific. What are the Boston Dynamic
- 4:27Speaker 1: Boston Scientific.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Make Heart my sister works from.
- 4:30Speaker 1: But anyway, the way I'll tell you, Boston is the
- 4:33Speaker 1: place to be. Here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, we
- 4:35Speaker 1: want to say. Every now and then, we see some
- 4:37Speaker 1: Boston Dynamics robots on our news feed and some of
- 4:40Speaker 1: the listeners are kind enough to send them to us,
- 4:42Speaker 1: but they're never really enough to warrant a segment by themselves.
- 4:47Speaker 3: They're not. So I mean there's I'm going to give
- 4:49Speaker 3: you a couple that are kind of at the cost
- 4:51Speaker 3: of uh huh, because because.
- 4:54Speaker 1: We just like this is what we're gonna kind of
- 4:56Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of blast through a couple of So
- 4:58Speaker 1: this is all their robots for the year. This is
- 5:00Speaker 1: like a robot omnibus. Ah, well, we make all the
- 5:04Speaker 1: robots into one segment and that way we don't grab
- 5:07Speaker 1: robots for the rest.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Of the year, right exactly. But I mean now we
- 5:09Speaker 3: will be dabbling in terrifying science throughout the year too, because.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Not giving that up. That's that's the content stream buddy.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Science absolutely intertwined with mad folklore and fucking mythology by
- 5:21Speaker 3: the way, do you know what I mean? Just just
- 5:23Speaker 3: to keep both sides of the defense happy. So there's
- 5:25Speaker 3: I mean, everybody knows the ones that can jump off
- 5:28Speaker 3: things and they're smiling and what not. There's one here
- 5:31Speaker 3: and it's it's it's it's it's called even by the name,
- 5:34Speaker 3: it's called Optimus Gin two.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Optimist is Elon Musk's robot, isn't.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and that one, I like, there's a whole rake here,
- 5:41Speaker 3: Like there's the one now that will actually kiss you,
- 5:44Speaker 3: Like really have you seen that one? Like here's here's.
- 5:47Speaker 1: What I was going to say, the tom This is
- 5:48Speaker 1: what I've said about robots and the Boston Dynamic robots
- 5:51Speaker 1: all along the Boston Dynamic dog robots that run around
- 5:54Speaker 1: the place. I'm like, that's a clever use of robot technology.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Four legs rocking around the place. Robots to try to
- 6:00Speaker 1: be bipedal. Yeah, bright standing humanoid robots I feel are
- 6:04Speaker 1: on a hide into nothing. They're never gonna have the
- 6:06Speaker 1: gravity that the need.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Possibly, but I don't know, Like these fucking things like
- 6:10Speaker 3: they're serving drinks. But you see what kind of snapping
- 6:12Speaker 3: we talked about it. I think already kind of snapped
- 6:14Speaker 3: at a concert there not too long ago, and you
- 6:15Speaker 3: kind of colored the fella one of these robots. But
- 6:18Speaker 3: I would think the bipedal ones and the ones that
- 6:20Speaker 3: are somewhat you know, humanoid humanoid, as we've talked in
- 6:25Speaker 3: the past, they are eventually just going to be for
- 6:28Speaker 3: fucking like that. They're just riding robots pure like there's
- 6:32Speaker 3: one or two. Have you have you seen the like or.
- 6:35Speaker 1: You managing somebody's robots body and.
- 6:37Speaker 3: You're looking and your man is looking directly out of
- 6:38Speaker 3: going so what do you like about me? She'd just
- 6:40Speaker 3: do tiny face expression flicker here and go, oh my god,
- 6:43Speaker 3: I need to kiss you. And you're just seeing so
- 6:45Speaker 3: many lads, you know, jiggle the flat that's hanging over
- 6:48Speaker 3: their belt right now, going I can tell the man
- 6:50Speaker 3: one of these NUM's kind of card I have.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I have said it before and I'll say it again
- 6:54Speaker 1: time anything you stick into one of these machines, you're
- 6:57Speaker 1: going to lose.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Bys Just to give him a
- 7:01Speaker 3: shout out, Bustin's dynamics do actually have one now and
- 7:04Speaker 3: it's called Atlas and it's a Cyclops, which, just to
- 7:07Speaker 3: make it even fucking scarier, they're giving a cyclops, this
- 7:10Speaker 3: bastard like it's it is bipedal, but he can like
- 7:14Speaker 3: he can jump and land better than any human I've
- 7:17Speaker 3: ever seen, like jump and lander like there's no big
- 7:20Speaker 3: wind up, there's no fucking huh. You know, there's no
- 7:24Speaker 3: no stretching. Even the Olympians, you know when they do
- 7:27Speaker 3: the flip and the flip and the flip and in
- 7:28Speaker 3: the land and they throw the little hens up in
- 7:29Speaker 3: the year to go, aren't I brilliant? But they're still
- 7:32Speaker 3: kind of rocking in one spot and they're panting this
- 7:34Speaker 3: you's jumping off like fifteen feet just going.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I gotta tell you for the for the bipedal robots, Tom,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm there, like they don't have the balance. They don't
- 7:42Speaker 1: aren't They aren't naturally gifted at standing up straight. But
- 7:47Speaker 1: something tells me that the consumers for these items will
- 7:49Speaker 1: say they may not be able to stand up straight,
- 7:51Speaker 1: but they lie down just fine.
- 7:53Speaker 3: This is it, You're know, that's sure? It is the one.
- 7:59Speaker 3: It's the dawn of time. People who wanted to invent
- 8:01Speaker 3: a robot just so they could bang it.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Well, can I ask you about a robot that i've
- 8:06Speaker 1: while we're on the subject of bipeople robots here, buddy.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I know the guy. I think I know, I
- 8:11Speaker 3: know the guy you're talking about already.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Well, what I've what I've noticed a lot is that
- 8:17Speaker 1: some of these robots that you see out walking, some
- 8:20Speaker 1: of these robots you see walking about the place here,
- 8:23Speaker 1: they seem to be controlled by somebody wearing like, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 1: like a gollum suit. Just a camera.
- 8:30Speaker 3: This is the this is the copying.
- 8:31Speaker 1: They're copying thes of someone in a motion captures and
- 8:35Speaker 1: that's exactly their motion captureing suit.
- 8:36Speaker 3: And there was one that went viral this week in
- 8:39Speaker 3: the name of the type of robot is called a
- 8:42Speaker 3: Unit Tree g One robot, and it follows your movements.
- 8:46Speaker 3: So I mean this, I mean this is I don't
- 8:49Speaker 3: know if you ever saw the what was the one
- 8:51Speaker 3: was Surrogates or was the Surrogates or something. It was
- 8:54Speaker 3: called Stop you stop at home all day and something
- 8:57Speaker 3: goes out walking around for you. It looks like, well,
- 9:00Speaker 3: I think that's possibly where this is going to go
- 9:02Speaker 3: once you get the range on this you can send
- 9:03Speaker 3: this fucker off to the shops, you know, and all
- 9:08Speaker 3: you have to do is walk on a treadmill at all.
- 9:10Speaker 1: There was one There was one one video that I saw,
- 9:13Speaker 1: and it was of a rope, a supposed robot DJ
- 9:15Speaker 1: DJing and then the robot is there like doing all
- 9:19Speaker 1: the DJ mixing and whatnot, but then he makes the
- 9:23Speaker 1: note the motion of someone taking off a visor and
- 9:26Speaker 1: collapses on the ground. So it's clearly your man that
- 9:28Speaker 1: was controlling the robot. Someone tapped him on the shoulder
- 9:31Speaker 1: and say, hey, come on for a fag or whatever.
- 9:32Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, for sure, just took off the whole
- 9:35Speaker 3: buckles into the I too love that. You're like, well,
- 9:39Speaker 3: there's so futuristic whatnot. But still it's.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Just a minimum wage dude fucking in the background.
- 9:45Speaker 3: It's still a failure of the human that's running. Well,
- 9:48Speaker 3: this one was exactly that. It was in China, of course,
- 9:50Speaker 3: where the lads are unreal and making scary robots robots,
- 9:54Speaker 3: and he managed I mean, this thing is supposed to
- 9:57Speaker 3: move as you move like in its and it will
- 10:00Speaker 3: say it's I don't know, the heightened the lad but
- 10:02Speaker 3: he's robot has like three quarters to hide him. But
- 10:05Speaker 3: it's made a fucking steal. Yes, And he's dancing around
- 10:08Speaker 3: the place, leaping around this giant office, kicking icy legs
- 10:10Speaker 3: out in the air, which I would expect more from
- 10:13Speaker 3: an Asian gentleman, to be fair. His technique is fucking
- 10:15Speaker 3: cat He's.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Doing this sort of capa where Eddie Gordo dance fighting
- 10:19Speaker 1: kind of shit shocking.
- 10:20Speaker 3: So he's leaping around the place. Of course, the robot
- 10:22Speaker 3: has given it socks doing the exact same thing. But
- 10:24Speaker 3: the guy catches himself and moves out of time with
- 10:28Speaker 3: what the robot is doing. The robot throws out a
- 10:30Speaker 3: perfect fun, fucking kick and lends this guy right in
- 10:35Speaker 3: his cock. And it's absolutely one of the best things.
- 10:39Speaker 3: There are a handful of things since the dawn of time.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Like we said, people are going to always want to
- 10:43Speaker 3: invent a thing that they can fuck, and then dudes
- 10:46Speaker 3: getting kicked in the nuts. It will never Like I
- 10:50Speaker 3: showed this my six year old. He doesn't know the
- 10:52Speaker 3: long term context to get people getting kicked in the nuts.
- 10:54Speaker 3: He's a six year old, but he looked at that
- 10:56Speaker 3: and abs tears actually float out of his eyes with laughter.
- 11:00Speaker 3: What he watched it three times and then had to
- 11:02Speaker 3: tell me to put the phone away because it was
- 11:03Speaker 3: too funny. Yeah, purely because a dude getting kicked in
- 11:07Speaker 3: the nuts by the dude technically, which this is some
- 11:11Speaker 3: jump when you think of a futuristic fucking he managed
- 11:14Speaker 3: to It's like, is there any sound of one hand clapping? Well,
- 11:19Speaker 3: this man found there is a sound of two balls
- 11:21Speaker 3: clapping off each other. He managed to kick himself technically
- 11:24Speaker 3: in the balls.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Not only that, this is the most money anybody in
- 11:30Speaker 1: history has ever paid to kick themselves in the balls.
- 11:36Speaker 1: This is the most expensive way you've ever And and
- 11:39Speaker 1: again when your man it's copying his movements one to one. Yeah,
- 11:43Speaker 1: And when your man gets hit kicked in the scroll
- 11:45Speaker 1: room and fucking doubles down in pain, the robot grabs.
- 11:50Speaker 3: His follows the motion.
- 11:54Speaker 1: He's like, oh my growing, my robot growing.
- 11:58Speaker 3: I'm just laying the video here. I can't resist. I'm
- 12:01Speaker 3: just watching for anybody. We'll find that we put it
- 12:03Speaker 3: up on our Oh my god, there's just it shouldn't
- 12:07Speaker 3: be that funny. Still, Like there's a so there is
- 12:10Speaker 3: a delay of like point one of it.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Whatever the broad band is, whatever the blue too.
- 12:15Speaker 3: So yeah, so I guess if you're if they've forgotten
- 12:19Speaker 3: so basically your man talked afterwards about this, I guess,
- 12:23Speaker 3: or somebody was talking about I guess they did forget
- 12:26Speaker 3: hard code. The Three Laws and robots, which you know
- 12:31Speaker 3: as three laws of robotics found in the novels and stories,
- 12:34Speaker 3: you know, all the rest of it. There's one being
- 12:36Speaker 3: you can never hurt your human or whatever. I don't
- 12:38Speaker 3: know what they or by your actions allow a human
- 12:41Speaker 3: to be harmed. Yeah, well, well that was They haven't
- 12:48Speaker 3: given him a names, but he's UNI three g one.
- 12:50Speaker 3: If you just go look for lads, it will not
- 12:53Speaker 3: you know, if you're listening to this, and I'll.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Throw it on the socials. Okay, so by pedal robots
- 12:58Speaker 1: are as by pedal robots. Do what a you gott
- 13:01Speaker 1: new for me there, buddy?
- 13:02Speaker 3: Ah? Probably as soon as you sent it to me,
- 13:05Speaker 3: I'm like, well that's the game. That is the game,
- 13:08Speaker 3: because again, you go, it took us this long. Nearly
- 13:11Speaker 3: they were fuck acting around with legs on things. You're
- 13:13Speaker 3: fuck acting around with jet packs on things. A dog
- 13:16Speaker 3: shape robot, dog shaped robot. Stupid shit, you know what
- 13:19Speaker 3: I mean?
- 13:20Speaker 1: Leave it to the Chinese.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Leave it to the Chinese. Lets again, and thank you
- 13:25Speaker 3: to our overlords. They have created a ball, a ball,
- 13:31Speaker 3: simple as a fucking ball. This thing is now working
- 13:35Speaker 3: with the military and working with police. Is two hundred
- 13:38Speaker 3: and sixty nine pounds in weights.
- 13:41Speaker 1: So what we're saying here, Thomas, this is not a prototype.
- 13:43Speaker 1: This is an actual robot.
- 13:45Speaker 3: This has been currently being used by the Chinese police
- 13:48Speaker 3: and military figuratively and metaphorically. It has been rolled out.
- 13:52Speaker 3: It is so if you imagine it's as good as
- 13:55Speaker 3: it's as good, as severe as you can imagine, you
- 13:57Speaker 3: can have wrapped put three quarters of it is wrapped
- 14:00Speaker 3: in tire, do you get me? So? And then you
- 14:02Speaker 3: have two stable panels on the side which are also
- 14:06Speaker 3: around which would ever be rolled over onto it, you
- 14:08Speaker 3: know what I mean. So it's it's for all the world.
- 14:12Speaker 3: I suppose a curved tire, but it's got two panels
- 14:15Speaker 3: on the side.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm going to tell you. It
- 14:17Speaker 1: reminded me of Tom. It reminds me of and this
- 14:20Speaker 1: is this is all it is, folks. It is just
- 14:23Speaker 1: a black ball. But it looks kind of like the
- 14:26Speaker 1: front tire of Batman's motorcycle.
- 14:28Speaker 3: There you go. That's yes, that's exactly it. Now it
- 14:31Speaker 3: can It's people that I mean, if you're just listening
- 14:34Speaker 3: to this with one year going, it's a ball. I
- 14:37Speaker 3: want you to think about it. People think about being
- 14:40Speaker 3: chased in the apocalypse by things with legs. You go,
- 14:44Speaker 3: I climb a building, things things with fucking tank tracks.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Grand I go run across some marshmallows up some stairs.
- 14:52Speaker 3: This thing. Now, imagine being chased by this fucking thing.
- 14:57Speaker 3: It can go if it's facing forward exactly. There is
- 15:00Speaker 3: no a won't can't flip over. It can't be inhibited
- 15:04Speaker 3: by anything. At this size. It's like two foot high,
- 15:07Speaker 3: but it's a big, big, like two hundred and sixty
- 15:09Speaker 3: nine pounds. They say it's non lethal what they fitted
- 15:12Speaker 3: it with, right, the different things they fitted it with.
- 15:14Speaker 3: But that is just another world for we can put
- 15:17Speaker 3: whatever the fuck kind of fifty camera two hundred and
- 15:21Speaker 3: sixty nine pounds. That's a big hunk of a man.
- 15:25Speaker 1: That's a twenty stone bar eleven pounds it is.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nearly so we'll call it a night. A
- 15:30Speaker 3: nineteen stone ball of fury. That wait ler, this is jar.
- 15:34Speaker 3: It can hit it can hit nineteen miles an hours.
- 15:38Speaker 3: That's about It can hit nineteen miles an hour. Wait
- 15:40Speaker 3: for this in two point five seconds. See, okay, you
- 15:46Speaker 3: haven't a Now it can hold a steady pace of
- 15:49Speaker 3: twenty two miles an hour. Right, so it is going
- 15:52Speaker 3: to fuck you up.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Even if you're not going to outrun this, you're not
- 15:55Speaker 1: gonna be well. I'll run onto the battery days down.
- 15:57Speaker 3: No, and jir, I know you're thinking, you're going, I'm
- 16:00Speaker 3: a strong swimmer. I just jump in the lake, swim
- 16:02Speaker 3: across Fuck that thing. Guess what I can do here?
- 16:04Speaker 3: The same speed across the top of the water.
- 16:08Speaker 1: My god, this is the first time I've been genuinely terrified. Yeah,
- 16:13Speaker 1: but because all the op to bottomis is of the world.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Push them over, Tom, for God's sake. This thing there's
- 16:18Speaker 1: no fighting it. You can't fight a ball.
- 16:20Speaker 3: No, you cannot sick. It just rang straight through to
- 16:24Speaker 3: my core when you send it. I didn't even open
- 16:25Speaker 3: it first, and I went, they've nailed it.
- 16:29Speaker 1: So and again for anybody listening to us, can you
- 16:32Speaker 1: imagine can you imagine a Swiss ball like you know,
- 16:36Speaker 1: like your mom has at home. Imagine a Swiss ball
- 16:40Speaker 1: fitness ball that's just like pure solid rubber. It's just
- 16:43Speaker 1: a massive solid rubber with a gyroscopic motor on it
- 16:46Speaker 1: that can ram you at twenty mile an hour in
- 16:48Speaker 1: the shins and knees.
- 16:49Speaker 3: And it himself itself is nineteen stone. So just imagine
- 16:54Speaker 3: a nineteen stone midget hitting you at the knees at
- 16:57Speaker 3: twenty two miles an hour, all.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Of all of a sudden, all of a sudden. The
- 17:01Speaker 1: actions of your government don't seem like something you need
- 17:04Speaker 1: to protest about. You're doing a great job, lads, keep
- 17:09Speaker 1: it up.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I don't think you get an option. I just look,
- 17:12Speaker 3: I'm not going.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Out on the streets to protest with these things fucking
- 17:15Speaker 1: ramming me in the knees. Are you kidding me?
- 17:16Speaker 3: Yeah? What are you gonna What are you gonna do?
- 17:18Speaker 3: Start sticking your fingers over it? Like it doesn't need
- 17:20Speaker 3: you to behave yourself. It will behave you. Like you
- 17:24Speaker 3: put ten of these around it, a group of two
- 17:26Speaker 3: hundred people, and it will just in and out, in
- 17:29Speaker 3: and out, smash one at a time until until you're done.
- 17:31Speaker 1: And you can hit it with a hammer, you can
- 17:33Speaker 1: stab it, you can set it on fire, and little
- 17:36Speaker 1: burn for a long time before it stops. All you've
- 17:38Speaker 1: done is made it, made it a flaming bowl.
- 17:41Speaker 3: So what they've so far, they're saying, Look, they're keeping
- 17:44Speaker 3: it because it has a I like, it does have AI.
- 17:47Speaker 3: This is the thing. It's it isn't just like somebody
- 17:50Speaker 3: on a controller. This thing now will be at the
- 17:54Speaker 3: cutting edge of what it decides to be, like it
- 17:56Speaker 3: decides what a criminal is. So they're giving it free
- 18:00Speaker 3: rain to go. No, I don't like you, Dave and
- 18:03Speaker 3: just go.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Well, you know you everybody out there was afraid that
- 18:07Speaker 1: RoboCop was coming from. No robo ball that's coming for you.
- 18:11Speaker 3: So they have it as it stands at the minute,
- 18:14Speaker 3: of the one working with the police. They won't talk
- 18:16Speaker 3: about the one working with the military because they don't
- 18:18Speaker 3: have to. The tools included on our tear gas dispensers,
- 18:22Speaker 3: lovely smoke bomb launchers, high decibel horns, acoustic crowd dispersal devices,
- 18:27Speaker 3: and net shooters capable of close range suspect.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. It fires out like Batman. It fires
- 18:33Speaker 1: out nets and things.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Jerry, what are they like all they're doing, it's just
- 18:38Speaker 3: got I swear the gout. That's not dangerous at all
- 18:41Speaker 3: to all about this ball. How many fucking grenades do
- 18:45Speaker 3: you think you could put into anything that weighs two
- 18:47Speaker 3: hundred and sixty nine pounds and just drop them?
- 18:49Speaker 1: Or even if these things get up they're currently only
- 18:52Speaker 1: going like twenty kilometers an hour, get them up to
- 18:54Speaker 1: forty and get them to drop those little cow drop
- 18:56Speaker 1: stars underneath them. Car tired.
- 19:00Speaker 3: This is the thing they're saying, Oh, it'll do twenty
- 19:02Speaker 3: two miles an hour, Get out of my face. I
- 19:05Speaker 3: know a Polish guy who bought what his own e
- 19:07Speaker 3: scooter and had the thing rewired by a mate and it.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Does like fifty k now does what it wants at
- 19:13Speaker 1: this stage, do you know.
- 19:14Speaker 3: What I mean? And he's you know, he's up there
- 19:16Speaker 3: wearing fifteen stone himself on top of this thing. These
- 19:20Speaker 3: lads in China, for sure, they could ramp that thing.
- 19:22Speaker 3: That thing could do one hundred k. I guarantee you,
- 19:24Speaker 3: I guarant fucking to you could. But it's the fact
- 19:28Speaker 3: that they, Oh my god, it's the fact that it's
- 19:30Speaker 3: just it's a ball. That's it. There is no more
- 19:33Speaker 3: improving that, No, that is it, and and it's and
- 19:36Speaker 3: it's black as well. So it's just like busy, a
- 19:40Speaker 3: bit more menacing.
- 19:41Speaker 1: All right, just pure menace, pure Star Wars.
- 19:43Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think actually be more menacing
- 19:45Speaker 3: if like, you know, if they went full Asian and
- 19:47Speaker 3: had it done like in Hello Kitty colors and a
- 19:49Speaker 3: smiley face on it, because you're like, well, we face
- 19:51Speaker 3: on it, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, like,
- 19:53Speaker 3: because that would actually make it more terrifying that oh
- 19:56Speaker 3: it's a kid's character coming at me to kill me.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Because these things are not being made. I guarantee you
- 20:03Speaker 3: they didn't go Can we get something like that would
- 20:05Speaker 3: just scare people? Can we do that? Can we drop
- 20:08Speaker 3: a few billion on developing something that will just I
- 20:14Speaker 3: will say they did have a little bit of crack
- 20:16Speaker 3: with it though. There is a sensor in it that
- 20:19Speaker 3: when it hits you, it plays real loudspeaker, the sound
- 20:22Speaker 3: effect of like ten pin bowling. Just put it hops
- 20:31Speaker 3: your meniscus out, you know what? Your The future is
- 20:37Speaker 3: scary and I'm okay, well it's gone. Okay, We're you know,
- 20:41Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not what's that I'm not I'm
- 20:44Speaker 3: not fighting. I'm fighting my own ground. Yeah, my own
- 20:49Speaker 3: digestive system right now, I'm fighting, so I mean, I
- 20:51Speaker 3: I can't. I when I saw it was a ball,
- 20:54Speaker 3: I went, there, we go.
- 20:56Speaker 1: That's it.
- 20:56Speaker 3: I I was. Everything else was just. But now it's
- 21:00Speaker 3: like all you, we're done.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Well, folks. That's a little robot round up for you.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's the robot round up for
- 21:07Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, but we said we stick all our
- 21:09Speaker 1: robots into one segment, get them out of the way
- 21:10Speaker 1: with the weekly what have you. We might dip back
- 21:13Speaker 1: into the robot or later on. It's not up to us, Tom,
- 21:16Speaker 1: It's up to the developers of the robots, don't you know,
- 21:18Speaker 1: Like if they keep making them, we'll talk about them
- 21:20Speaker 1: again later in the year. But for now, that's that.
- 21:22Speaker 1: We got to move on with the show. Because there
- 21:24Speaker 1: is indeed those lads, those robotic lads. But we're gonna
- 21:27Speaker 1: talk right now about a.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Real flesh and blood man, a real.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Guy, someone that really caught our interest on the internet
- 21:34Speaker 1: over the last little while in a segment we.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Call this line, Now, there's that guy you like? So
- 21:43Speaker 3: often find this lad.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Every now and then you'll fall across lad Tom and
- 21:48Speaker 1: I like a lot of people who are flicking around
- 21:50Speaker 1: on flicking around on the streaming services on the TV
- 21:55Speaker 1: over the Christmas looking for something to watch, as people
- 21:58Speaker 1: tend to be doing while they're you know, half a
- 22:00Speaker 1: bottle of Jack Daniels in on four o'clock in the morning,
- 22:03Speaker 1: and you're just like, the bed's not calling to me,
- 22:05Speaker 1: Let's see what they have. And I fell across a
- 22:08Speaker 1: movie from twenty twenty one called The Gardener starring Charles Bronson.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Now, what year is this movie? Major?
- 22:15Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one, Tom beg of bardon Sorry, sorry, sorry,
- 22:19Speaker 1: twenty twenty five for The Caretaker twenty twenty five. So
- 22:21Speaker 1: last year in the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five,
- 22:24Speaker 1: The Caretaker starring going by the thumbnail Charles Bronson.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Now, I don't know what. I don't want to pick
- 22:33Speaker 3: holes in your plot here straight out the gate. But
- 22:36Speaker 3: any keen eared listener may or may not know that
- 22:41Speaker 3: I could be wrong here. But didn't Charles Bronson die
- 22:44Speaker 3: in two thousand and three?
- 22:45Speaker 1: Well, you see, here's the thing. Just to clarify for
- 22:48Speaker 1: all our listeners out there, I'm not talking about Britain's
- 22:50Speaker 1: most notorious prisoner, Charles Bronson. He's still in jail. Not
- 22:54Speaker 1: starring in movies. I'm talking about Charles Bronson. Once upon
- 22:59Speaker 1: a Time in the Way Death Wish, Great Escape, Charles Bronson.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Now, if that catches your eye as to how Charles
- 23:06Speaker 1: Bronson has come to be in a movie in twenty
- 23:08Speaker 1: twenty five, it caught my eye to drunken all this
- 23:10Speaker 1: I was. I was like, no, the man's dead twenty
- 23:13Speaker 1: years and as Thomas said, there, yes, indeed, Charles Jison
- 23:16Speaker 1: did indeed die in two thousand and three at the
- 23:19Speaker 1: brave old age of eighty somewhat. So who the fuck
- 23:23Speaker 1: is in this movie that I'm looking at in a
- 23:25Speaker 1: thumbnail on my screen? Well, who I was looking at,
- 23:28Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, after a bit of investigation, was a
- 23:32Speaker 1: Hungarian stuntman who goes by the stage name of Robert Bronzie,
- 23:38Speaker 1: who has taken to starring in the lowest of low
- 23:42Speaker 1: budget movies you have ever seen in your life. And
- 23:46Speaker 1: his one calling card, the one thing he has going
- 23:49Speaker 1: in his favorite tom is that he is the spit
- 23:52Speaker 1: out of Charles Bronson's mat He.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Do you know sometimes that the things are a little off,
- 24:00Speaker 3: You know, when you look at the thing you're like, ah,
- 24:02Speaker 3: oh wait, you know, like sometimes you see that, yeah,
- 24:06Speaker 3: somebody's ripped off. You know, you're looking at like from
- 24:09Speaker 3: a distance, you could see like a nineteen ninety five Mr.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Two and somebody's put a Ferrari bodykit on and you're like,
- 24:14Speaker 3: what is fair? Oh wait a second, what you get
- 24:18Speaker 3: that bit closer and like, oh, that's not a Ferrari
- 24:21Speaker 3: at all, tall, that's what is that? And that's kind
- 24:24Speaker 3: of what it is here with old Robbie Bronsei, because
- 24:28Speaker 3: you look and you go oh yeah, oh yeah, and
- 24:31Speaker 3: then no, wait a second.
- 24:34Speaker 1: You it it is. It's not even a second take, Tom,
- 24:37Speaker 1: It's not even like a second glance. You have to
- 24:40Speaker 1: get up close and personal with the gewls of this
- 24:42Speaker 1: man's face.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I really see that.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Something's just not quite right. When we say Robert Bronzie
- 24:49Speaker 1: born Robert Kovax is a dead ringer for Charles Bronson,
- 24:53Speaker 1: we mean to say he's such a dead ringer for
- 24:55Speaker 1: Charles Bronson that this man who has never acted a
- 24:59Speaker 1: day in his life was spotted walking around his native
- 25:03Speaker 1: Hungary by one of his local Hungarian low budget movie
- 25:08Speaker 1: directors and the guy just did, like do you remember
- 25:10Speaker 1: you remember in ed Wood where he noticed that his doctor,
- 25:13Speaker 1: you know, it was his dentist, looked like bellies after
- 25:16Speaker 1: he died. He's like, wait a second, that's him. This
- 25:19Speaker 1: is what happened. Guys, just looking at this chat walking
- 25:22Speaker 1: down the street, He's like, Jesus, that looks like Robert
- 25:25Speaker 1: Charles Bronson? Can you act?
- 25:28Speaker 3: No, doesn't matter.
- 25:30Speaker 1: We're gonna stick you into these low budget movies so
- 25:34Speaker 1: that we can at least put your face on the
- 25:36Speaker 1: cover of the DVD or the cover of the tombnail.
- 25:39Speaker 1: And that's enough for us that someone will pause for
- 25:42Speaker 1: just a second and out of curiosity click on one
- 25:45Speaker 1: of our low budget zless movies just to see if
- 25:49Speaker 1: this is indeed the ghost of Charles Bronson.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Like it, that's the thing it would draw you in
- 25:56Speaker 3: because the balls of it. This guy Perez is the
- 26:00Speaker 3: direct that spot in him. And he just happily makes
- 26:03Speaker 3: B movies. Now B movies. Here's the thing, Jarli. They
- 26:06Speaker 3: still cost a few million to quit quid to make
- 26:09Speaker 3: like they still like, you're not making these.
- 26:12Speaker 1: For These things aren't made for nothing.
- 26:14Speaker 3: They're not like there's there's like this one the Gardener,
- 26:16Speaker 3: which is if anybody's wondering, it's like every fucking thing
- 26:20Speaker 3: that has a professional name in the title, whether it's
- 26:22Speaker 3: fun you know, bekeeper the Mechanic, which I think Charles
- 26:27Speaker 3: Bronson was earlier.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Actually we get into it now because now that they
- 26:31Speaker 1: have a Charles Bronson, look like they're making all of
- 26:33Speaker 1: his movies soundlikes as well.
- 26:35Speaker 3: That's fucking incredible, Like are they actually going to try
- 26:38Speaker 3: and do like the Magnificence of Seven and stuff like
- 26:40Speaker 3: that with him? Oh?
- 26:40Speaker 1: Oh, Tom, They've done it. We've got Charles Bronson starred
- 26:45Speaker 1: in Death Wish, Robert Bronsky starred in Death Kiss. No,
- 26:51Speaker 1: I'm looking at it here. Charles Bronson starred in Once
- 26:54Speaker 1: Upon a Time in the West, Robert Bronsky star stars
- 26:57Speaker 1: in Once Upon a Time in Deadwood. And then we've
- 27:00Speaker 1: got stripped off Deadwood as well. Yeah, Bronzon ten to midnight,
- 27:05Speaker 1: Bronzie twelve to midnight. I'm not making this up. This
- 27:08Speaker 1: is in front of me here, caught the past nine
- 27:12Speaker 1: in the morning, right, what Bronzie like You'd like to
- 27:19Speaker 1: think he was in in the joke, but I've watched
- 27:21Speaker 1: a couple of interviews.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems to like think.
- 27:25Speaker 1: That he's swinging this on his own merit.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Do you know they the little Do you know that
- 27:30Speaker 3: the best fucking lunatics chair And you know this in
- 27:34Speaker 3: the field of entertainment, Like, they can be absolutely shocking
- 27:37Speaker 3: pies of shite, But if they have enough fucking people
- 27:39Speaker 3: around him, going that's amazing, that's amazing, certain types of
- 27:44Speaker 3: people can actually just slip into it. And normally it's
- 27:46Speaker 3: people with zero experience in the game are relively low
- 27:50Speaker 3: because they don't know what the real Like, the whole
- 27:54Speaker 3: of the world will be laughing at this scenario as
- 27:55Speaker 3: I am, like, this is fucking amazing, But it's the neck.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Whatever about this fella? Right, he's going along with it,
- 28:01Speaker 3: He's like, all right, Okay, probably thinks he's class, but
- 28:04Speaker 3: Ran Perez knows what he's doing.
- 28:06Speaker 1: He knows what he's saying. And I gotta tell you sometimes, Tom,
- 28:08Speaker 1: to beat this lad, you have to have a neck
- 28:11Speaker 1: like a jockey's bollocks.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Oh my god, Like Perez is nearly this lad because
- 28:15Speaker 3: of what he's done. I'm convincing this fella and then
- 28:18Speaker 3: getting back in, getting backing. Oh he's oh, he's selling
- 28:22Speaker 3: movies off the past. I mean, would you like to.
- 28:24Speaker 1: Would you like to finance my movie bury him deep, No,
- 28:27Speaker 1: it's shit, okay, could to my friend Robert Bronzi, who's
- 28:32Speaker 1: going to be on the cover, and everyone's like, oh,
- 28:33Speaker 1: hang on a second here, that's I can see money here.
- 28:36Speaker 3: But like you, like, we joke and laugh about it.
- 28:39Speaker 3: But I watched the movie one day and I still
- 28:44Speaker 3: it still sits in my soul. Has been one of
- 28:46Speaker 3: the worst things. And I've seen bad stuff chair in
- 28:49Speaker 3: the real world and aunty, but it was a thing
- 28:52Speaker 3: with Julia Roberts brother Eric Roberts, right, and it was
- 28:56Speaker 3: like some Godzilla character and its like on what it
- 29:03Speaker 3: was damn near fucking unwatchable. But himself wanted to watch it.
- 29:06Speaker 3: He's four years of age gone monsters, but Eric Roberts
- 29:09Speaker 3: fan and you knew Eric Roberts wasn't even the room.
- 29:13Speaker 1: No, no, no, they had Eric Roberts for one.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Day, yeah, all for so and still he was a
- 29:18Speaker 3: better actor than everybody. And but he wasn't even in
- 29:20Speaker 3: the room. Most of the time he was talking to somebody.
- 29:21Speaker 3: You knew by it all everything was out of timing. Lights,
- 29:25Speaker 3: lighting was wrong. But you're like, somebody fucking back that somebody.
- 29:30Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Tom and like you know, we'll
- 29:31Speaker 1: get into it on some other on some other subject
- 29:34Speaker 1: down the line. I'm not being a snob here. I'm
- 29:37Speaker 1: not being like, oh, this isn't exactly Oscar material. I'll
- 29:40Speaker 1: watch bad movies with the best of them, right, But
- 29:42Speaker 1: every now and then you'll sit down and say, well,
- 29:44Speaker 1: this is a bad movie, but it's gonna be a
- 29:46Speaker 1: bit of crack, but an actual fact, it's shocking.
- 29:49Speaker 3: It's just shit.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just unwatchable. And and I really watched twenty
- 29:54Speaker 1: five minutes of The Caretaker. I really wanted it to
- 29:56Speaker 1: be like good crack with a Charles Bronson look alike.
- 30:00Speaker 1: I know it's just dure and it's filmed in some
- 30:03Speaker 1: lads carriage. With respect to everybody, I couldn't I couldn't
- 30:07Speaker 1: go no deeper into the world.
- 30:08Speaker 3: It's it's fucking but you know what, though, like you,
- 30:14Speaker 3: we can't wrap our heads around it, right because we're
- 30:16Speaker 3: so far west in our in our behavior, because we're
- 30:19Speaker 3: fairly far down the line. We've got an Oscar, a
- 30:21Speaker 3: couple of Oscar winners, do you know what I mean?
- 30:23Speaker 3: When it comes to the coating edge, A lot of
- 30:25Speaker 3: stuff is filmed here between Troy and and and out
- 30:27Speaker 3: in Ardmore Studio studios. You know, so we are kind
- 30:32Speaker 3: of up there. But I know a lot of Eastern
- 30:35Speaker 3: European leads and they are in another time warp dimension
- 30:42Speaker 3: when it comes to entertainment value. Like there was two
- 30:46Speaker 3: costs of own lads just going, oh my god, you're mustage.
- 30:49Speaker 3: It is like, and they were just naming some random
- 30:52Speaker 3: bloke that they kept on saying. Let's say, they kept
- 30:54Speaker 3: on saying Butch McBride, like who, And they were looking
- 30:57Speaker 3: at me, Jerry like I didn't had never heard, Like
- 31:01Speaker 3: when Marty McFly said his name is Clint Eastwood and
- 31:03Speaker 3: they had never heard of it. That was the same way,
- 31:06Speaker 3: Like I was like what they were.
- 31:08Speaker 1: What are you guys talking about? And not for nothing
- 31:10Speaker 1: as well, for for for Eastern European friends out there,
- 31:14Speaker 1: there's some gimmick. I'm not sure exactly what it is,
- 31:16Speaker 1: but there's some sort of tax right off gimmick for
- 31:19Speaker 1: filming in Prague and filming. Yeah, you know that's why,
- 31:23Speaker 1: Like you know, you'll see a lot of the later days.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Jean Claude Fandam and Steven Sgal and Dolph Lundgren directed
- 31:29Speaker 1: video Shit It's all filmed there in Serbia and this
- 31:33Speaker 1: kind of crack for whatever they are.
- 31:35Speaker 3: The New Ireland because we got saw that fucking act
- 31:38Speaker 3: into that twenty years ago when we used to go
- 31:40Speaker 3: text and we all of us, but this prepay us
- 31:44Speaker 3: what you have. It still shoot things like celebrity squares
- 31:47Speaker 3: in in like they'll fly in robb Loow, they'll fly
- 31:50Speaker 3: in Jimmie Foxx, they'll fly in whoever and do celebrity
- 31:53Speaker 3: squares in Wicklow or over Limerick. It is still cheaper
- 31:57Speaker 3: than to do it on Paramount Lot.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Sure that's the you know, we're not to get to
- 32:00Speaker 1: deepen it, but that TV show Wipeout where they're umping
- 32:01Speaker 1: over the balls and all that kind of thing. Yeah,
- 32:03Speaker 1: it's cheaper than for them to fly out two hundred
- 32:06Speaker 1: British layabouts to Brazil and get them to fracture their
- 32:10Speaker 1: spines out there and ship them home than it is
- 32:12Speaker 1: to inflate four balls in Kensington.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. So this is what their appreciation
- 32:19Speaker 3: to landsaid. When I asked them who they were talking
- 32:21Speaker 3: about Jr. They had no like they they were Robert Bronzie.
- 32:26Speaker 3: This is who they were. Pretty much. I guarantee you
- 32:29Speaker 3: they would sit and watch him going the greatest men
- 32:32Speaker 3: of all time, tattoo getting tattoos off him and everything
- 32:35Speaker 3: like Robert Bronsei, Like, I mean, the only thing is right.
- 32:38Speaker 3: You say, Okay, well, Robert, you could argue in another
- 32:41Speaker 3: another life'stime. You go, oh scandal this right, Yeah, you
- 32:44Speaker 3: know he's wrong. But like Charles Bronson, wasn't Charles Bronson either,
- 32:48Speaker 3: Like Charles Bronson was charged budgeon Ski. Well this is it,
- 32:52Speaker 3: Like he was Lithuanian. You know, I had to I
- 32:54Speaker 3: had to pull out a.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Little bit and and and see why these men look
- 32:59Speaker 1: so like and pale. Robert Bronzie is a Hungarian gentleman,
- 33:04Speaker 1: and Charles Bronson, as you say yourself, there is of
- 33:07Speaker 1: Lithuanian descent. So there's only a fourteen hour card drive
- 33:10Speaker 1: between them, but they share that sort of I guess
- 33:13Speaker 1: Eastern European.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Look, I'm looking at Charles Bronson here right now, and
- 33:17Speaker 3: I have hit, I have Bronzie open beside me. And
- 33:20Speaker 3: this is no joke. There's a guy I know he's
- 33:23Speaker 3: from Lithuania and his Vegas is. I am looking at
- 33:29Speaker 3: Vegas right now as the love child between these two men,
- 33:32Speaker 3: Like it is that hardened, still handsome enough kind of
- 33:37Speaker 3: look where you wouldn't go, you know where you think, Okay,
- 33:41Speaker 3: he's not your classy he's not he's not Robert Downey Junior,
- 33:44Speaker 3: or he's not what's his name, fucking the gorgeous gray
- 33:48Speaker 3: haired bastard. What's his Robert fucking ploney? Ploney? Do you know?
- 33:53Speaker 3: That almost baby face to the point of like, no, no, And.
- 33:56Speaker 1: That's what made Charles Bronson, Charles from Shaw look kind
- 34:00Speaker 1: of yeah, take no ship, cowboy, kind of gay, and
- 34:03Speaker 1: that's he wasn't a handsome one of the magnificent, No,
- 34:06Speaker 1: no no.
- 34:06Speaker 3: But at the same time, there is that chisel look
- 34:08Speaker 3: where you like, he's a grizzly looking bastard and you
- 34:10Speaker 3: could see why they put him in a movie.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Now.
- 34:12Speaker 3: The only thing is, I mean they've tried to remake
- 34:16Speaker 3: cars down through the year. Like we we remember how
- 34:19Speaker 3: disgusted I was with the new Capri. This is kind
- 34:22Speaker 3: of what I'm seeing in the same sense, it's like
- 34:24Speaker 3: you should have let the Caprit die where it was,
- 34:27Speaker 3: and you should have left Charles Bronson in the grave
- 34:29Speaker 3: back in two thousand and three because rooting this led
- 34:33Speaker 3: out off the streets. But he wasn't, like I'm going
- 34:36Speaker 3: to give you a little bit back, Like he wasn't
- 34:38Speaker 3: a complete flute this fella. Like he wasn't plastering a
- 34:42Speaker 3: wall outside of fucking shop. And you know, he was
- 34:45Speaker 3: a stuntman, horse trainer. He's a martial artist and like
- 34:50Speaker 3: so he had kind of been in a few stunt shows.
- 34:53Speaker 3: He did stunt shows, like do you know, like people
- 34:56Speaker 3: people like shooting fucking things and running and riding around
- 35:00Speaker 3: horse do barrel runs, you know, the barrel racing and
- 35:03Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, a good lad on a horse
- 35:05Speaker 3: would have whip and stuff apparently. But I guess that's
- 35:08Speaker 3: where I'll tell you.
- 35:09Speaker 1: What else he was.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Tom, go on, I'll tell you what else he was.
- 35:12Speaker 1: When he achieved his first taste of direct to video fame,
- 35:16Speaker 1: he was sixty one years of age. Like, this is
- 35:19Speaker 1: not a young lad. He is he is currently, as
- 35:23Speaker 1: best as anyone can guess, around about between sixty six
- 35:26Speaker 1: and sixty nine years of age. Nobody can pin down
- 35:29Speaker 1: exactly what it was. And he showed up fourth around
- 35:31Speaker 1: about twenty seventeen. So if you do the sums, he's
- 35:33Speaker 1: round about his sixties early sixties when he started so
- 35:36Speaker 1: if you want to say, when we say he looks
- 35:38Speaker 1: like Charles Bronson, does he look like Magnificent seven Charles
- 35:40Speaker 1: Bronson or Debt Wish five Charles Bronson, he looks like
- 35:43Speaker 1: Dead Wish two. Yeah, yeah, nineteen eighty three Charles Bronson
- 35:48Speaker 1: kind of thing.
- 35:48Speaker 3: And there like as there is a look nearly in
- 35:50Speaker 3: later Charles Bronson, like where he got he went a
- 35:53Speaker 3: little Asian, do you know what I mean? There was
- 35:55Speaker 3: a touch of it.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Yeah, when the fucking hair died of his head, Yeah, like.
- 35:58Speaker 3: There was almost, but maybe that was the look of
- 36:00Speaker 3: the time, you know, like martial arts were big, you
- 36:03Speaker 3: know what I mean? The hair was as black as
- 36:04Speaker 3: a fucking as it.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Could be jet black, and I wouldn't even would Tom,
- 36:08Speaker 1: you're a mustache man, What would you call that mustache?
- 36:11Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just kind of a.
- 36:13Speaker 1: It's kind of like a it's kind of like a
- 36:15Speaker 1: half handled bar.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Yeah, it's stripping off the sides, but.
- 36:19Speaker 1: With a with a bear septum.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no real septum
- 36:24Speaker 3: bit in the middle. I don't know what. I don't
- 36:25Speaker 3: know names of mustaches or whatever, but.
- 36:27Speaker 1: It's well, it's the bronze. And now as to what
- 36:29Speaker 1: it is, yeah, it's and like we have not we
- 36:34Speaker 1: don't have much more to say about this man, ladies
- 36:36Speaker 1: and gentlemen, other than you got to see a pictureless
- 36:38Speaker 1: son of a bitch. It is Charles Bronson. I don't
- 36:43Speaker 1: know by DNA.
- 36:44Speaker 3: I'm looking at a clip here, a thumbnail from Escape
- 36:48Speaker 3: from Death Block thirteen, which just came out in twenty
- 36:51Speaker 3: twenty five. And as without the mustacheuer, take the mustache
- 36:56Speaker 3: off him. He's starting to fade awa from less like
- 37:01Speaker 3: Charles Bronson and more like you know that ourl one
- 37:05Speaker 3: that holds up the Q.
- 37:07Speaker 1: You know what I'm going to tell you.
- 37:07Speaker 3: It turned into a bit of an owl one, like
- 37:09Speaker 3: I don't know what, I'll tell you.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Exactly what it is. Right, do you remember in Jurassic
- 37:13Speaker 1: Park when they could have all the DNA the dinosaur
- 37:17Speaker 1: but they didn't have it. Also they had to add
- 37:19Speaker 1: in random DNA and adding a bit of frog. Yeah right, yeah, yeah,
- 37:24Speaker 1: this is like if they tried to clone Charles Bronson
- 37:28Speaker 1: but they only had like ninety five percent Charles Bronson DNA,
- 37:31Speaker 1: so they had to add in five percent. John Russia,
- 37:41Speaker 1: you have.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Fucking nail jets who I'm looking at, because John Russia
- 37:46Speaker 3: always looked like an owl one an owl native American
- 37:48Speaker 3: woman or something. To me. I was like, oh, there
- 37:52Speaker 3: you go, miss, I'm so happy with that.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Mister Robert Bronsie not coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
- 37:58Speaker 1: anytime soon, but god damn a.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Fucking balls on him and the Perez guy that's driving
- 38:04Speaker 3: him around like fair fox stare.
- 38:07Speaker 1: I tell you, Perez, keep an eye out for six
- 38:09Speaker 1: more lads, and you've got to remake on your hands,
- 38:11Speaker 1: all right?
- 38:11Speaker 3: Could we shape ourselves to look like anybody? I could
- 38:14Speaker 3: do a I don't know. Could I be a Leave
- 38:16Speaker 3: Marvin Leave Marvin's in the Magnificent Seven? He was, of course, yeah,
- 38:19Speaker 3: I could do Leave Lee Marvin. Could I I've got
- 38:22Speaker 3: a kind of buddy, a fucked up kind of look.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I could do it. If fucking Robert Bronsey can pull
- 38:28Speaker 3: off being fucking Charles Bronson, then yeah.
- 38:31Speaker 1: You know I'm over here.
- 38:32Speaker 3: I'm gonna you go with Lee Marvin. I'm gonna be
- 38:34Speaker 3: Brad Dexter, I'm gonna be.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Anyway. Listen, that's it, Charles Bronson, Robert Bronzie, how about
- 38:42Speaker 1: you but we do, of course, how how amazing our
- 38:45Speaker 1: our lives, Tom, that we've lived long enough to see
- 38:47Speaker 1: Charles Bronson come back, his double come back, right, because
- 38:51Speaker 1: we remember the original Charles Bronson in Death, which which
- 38:54Speaker 1: was always on I t V. I was never let
- 38:56Speaker 1: watch it because it is just pure mortar from one
- 38:58Speaker 1: ended but to the next. As we've mentioned several times
- 39:01Speaker 1: on the show before, me and Tom ain't young people.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Both in our forties, we've seen a lot of shit
- 39:05Speaker 1: come and a lot of shit go. And we go
- 39:07Speaker 1: over some of the things we remember in the final
- 39:09Speaker 1: assignment of our show called We Remember When when I was.
- 39:15Speaker 3: A young lad twenty or thirty or forty years ago.
- 39:19Speaker 3: There's plenty of stuff to be remembered, but I tell
- 39:21Speaker 3: you some things just bring a fun that don't tell
- 39:24Speaker 3: you everything now and then it's just we're still a
- 39:26Speaker 3: little seasonal, Tom. It's still winter, and it's fucking is
- 39:30Speaker 3: it is winter out there, and it was.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Winter this week. By the time you listen to this episode,
- 39:33Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, there might be snow.
- 39:36Speaker 3: There, and there seemed to be always something came up
- 39:39Speaker 3: the other day because fucking people walking late at night
- 39:42Speaker 3: with no hi visit, and especially in the countryside here man,
- 39:45Speaker 3: because people are clipping and big cars, like you're going, motherfucker.
- 39:48Speaker 3: There's a guy's guy at the gate the other evening
- 39:50Speaker 3: he was like, I just stepped out onto the road.
- 39:52Speaker 3: He was fucking keeping he was hunting sheeps some which way.
- 39:55Speaker 3: My mother fucking rind near his skin, this fucker. And
- 39:59Speaker 3: I remember, I remember when they gave us like armbands
- 40:03Speaker 3: and San Brown belts in the eighties in reflective San
- 40:07Speaker 3: Brown belts to wear in the eighties are the ones
- 40:09Speaker 3: that go across your shoulder and then across and they
- 40:12Speaker 3: gave us those to wear out on the fucking road
- 40:15Speaker 3: and there was practically no cars on the road. I'm thinking, oh, yeah,
- 40:19Speaker 3: that was a that was a thing. That was that
- 40:21Speaker 3: was the thing. And then because it comes up for
- 40:25Speaker 3: me a lot because my wife grew up very differently
- 40:28Speaker 3: to me. She was in action movies back in the eighties.
- 40:33Speaker 3: She grew up very different where you were all right, like,
- 40:43Speaker 3: you know what I mean, you didn't death, didn't what
- 40:46Speaker 3: didn't skin yet every fucking day of the week, like
- 40:48Speaker 3: you have to go looking for death. Where she grew up,
- 40:50Speaker 3: you know what I mean. In leafy South Dublin like suburbs,
- 40:53Speaker 3: like you didn't go it wasn't staring you in the
- 40:55Speaker 3: face of every fucking hands turned like it wasn't our childhood.
- 40:58Speaker 3: So I do. I point at hills now that I
- 41:01Speaker 3: literally grew up around, going Yeah. Soon as snowul hit
- 41:04Speaker 3: that motherfucker, we were gone, gone, gone, we were gone.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Like we say, folks, there is snow in the sky
- 41:10Speaker 1: above us here as we record on Monday night, and
- 41:12Speaker 1: it might be on the ground by the time this
- 41:13Speaker 1: hits you on Thursday morning. It was so cold at
- 41:17Speaker 1: the weekend there that there was enough frost on the
- 41:19Speaker 1: ground that when I got out early in the morning
- 41:20Speaker 1: with the kids, I tugged them sledding Tom, And as
- 41:24Speaker 1: Tom was saying, there, now, it puts us back to
- 41:27Speaker 1: mind the sledding as young fellas, because I took my
- 41:31Speaker 1: kids sledding on sleds that I bought in Argos, all right,
- 41:34Speaker 1: pe bought them for ten years a piece, plastic sleds,
- 41:37Speaker 1: real sleds, Tom, real sleds, genuine real You go to
- 41:41Speaker 1: America for um, like so again, you didn't have to
- 41:44Speaker 1: go to America for them. Nope, no, no, I'll tell
- 41:47Speaker 1: you I remember I bought two plastic sleds for ten
- 41:51Speaker 1: years apiece in Argos when we still had argost in
- 41:53Speaker 1: this country. And I bought them on a hot August afternoon.
- 41:56Speaker 3: That's the time to buy him. That's when they had pride.
- 41:59Speaker 1: That's when the start, buddy.
- 42:00Speaker 3: I often I remember the go for your gun from
- 42:03Speaker 3: the war on. What was the one was that the
- 42:05Speaker 3: great outdoors was the one with Chevy Chase. And he
- 42:08Speaker 3: polished up like that vacation Christmas vacation.
- 42:13Speaker 1: I was.
- 42:13Speaker 3: I thought it was the great outdoors, but obviously might
- 42:15Speaker 3: be great outdoors as well. But and he polished to
- 42:18Speaker 3: live and ship out of that disc that concave, that
- 42:22Speaker 3: kind of convex disc and just sat on it. And
- 42:24Speaker 3: I thought that was something that he made for they
- 42:27Speaker 3: made for the movie. Turns out they were a team.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Oh no, that's a thing.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.
- 42:30Speaker 1: But that's do you know what I'm going to tell you, Tom.
- 42:33Speaker 1: When we were when we were small, we remember when.
- 42:36Speaker 3: You looked at people with actual plastic sleds and discs
- 42:38Speaker 3: and all this.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Kind of thing, and that was beyond.
- 42:43Speaker 3: It was a sign of absolute opulence and wealth. It
- 42:46Speaker 3: was like looking at a Saudi prince walking with his
- 42:52Speaker 3: cheetah and sitting into his Rose Royce phantom.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Thinking we weren't even thinking imagine owning one of them all.
- 43:00Speaker 1: We don't think living in a country that had shops
- 43:03Speaker 1: that sold them.
- 43:04Speaker 3: That's exactly it. Like we like much like the castoone
- 43:09Speaker 3: fellas talking telling me about Bride the big men in
- 43:12Speaker 3: in Gospeble, Like those lads sometimes mention things to me.
- 43:16Speaker 3: I'm like, ah I have in p three plur I'm like,
- 43:23Speaker 3: the fuck.
- 43:25Speaker 1: All right, goot a fortnight ago.
- 43:28Speaker 3: But it's the same thing where we could not wrap
- 43:33Speaker 3: our heads around. It just wasn't even there to be wrapped.
- 43:36Speaker 3: You just look at it exactly. You weren all of it.
- 43:41Speaker 3: But there's no way you could conceive how you get
- 43:43Speaker 3: your hands on one. So what you would do?
- 43:45Speaker 1: That being said Tom, we managed when there was snow
- 43:48Speaker 1: on the ground. We find ourselves a swift way from
- 43:51Speaker 1: getting from the top of the hill to the bottom.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Well, necessity is the mother of eventually, I'm telling you.
- 43:57Speaker 3: And when you live in agriculturally I suppose heavy areas,
- 44:02Speaker 3: there's only a handful of things you can really use
- 44:04Speaker 3: without getting a ballockin because most things are needed, Yes,
- 44:07Speaker 3: that's the thing, you take it thing, I need that.
- 44:10Speaker 3: But one thing that is fucking large supply, at least
- 44:14Speaker 3: it was anyway, was I five branded, ten, ten twenty bags,
- 44:20Speaker 3: which a handful of listeners will go, ah, some listeners
- 44:23Speaker 3: will go, I have no fucking idea ideas it would
- 44:26Speaker 3: have been a twenty to twenty five kilo bag of fertilizer,
- 44:30Speaker 3: little tiny the balls that are spread over the field,
- 44:33Speaker 3: high in nitrogen to bring grass up through said field.
- 44:36Speaker 3: But these bags, loads will be left over. They're they're
- 44:41Speaker 3: the height of a coal bag, so as a child,
- 44:43Speaker 3: they come up to your waist the finest or at
- 44:45Speaker 3: least as good as you need it. And when you
- 44:48Speaker 3: say plastic bags like these were thick, oh not even
- 44:54Speaker 3: even the ones nowadays. I pick them up and you
- 44:56Speaker 3: can feel the ball things through them. I'm like, oh man,
- 44:59Speaker 3: this stuff. Back in the day, they totally overuse them out.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Now they've gotten it down to the minimal.
- 45:05Speaker 1: If they could give you less without them repping the wood.
- 45:07Speaker 3: The bare minimum of thickness of plastic back in the day,
- 45:10Speaker 3: this plastic, I guarantee it. Anybody who hasn't recycled burnt
- 45:15Speaker 3: or buried those bags. If they're knocking about, they're in
- 45:17Speaker 3: perfect condition.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Never move because they know these things are like as
- 45:22Speaker 1: thick as a welly boot, I dare say, like you.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Often see and still to this day you'd see it
- 45:26Speaker 3: and people even of urban environments, you might see it
- 45:29Speaker 3: in the country shop where turf is being sold. The
- 45:33Speaker 3: turf guys ain't going buy out buying bags. They just
- 45:36Speaker 3: reuse these bags. And they're white. Typically they'll have purple
- 45:40Speaker 3: maybe or green depending on whatever, or red writing on
- 45:43Speaker 3: it depending on what caliber and gear they're going to
- 45:45Speaker 3: spreading on the field. But these bags would be knocking
- 45:48Speaker 3: about and it was no better yolk, I mean better
- 45:51Speaker 3: than in one of those sleds. If you want, you
- 45:52Speaker 3: could literally roll this up or fold it up, put
- 45:54Speaker 3: it in your pocket and take it.
- 45:57Speaker 1: And that's what I want to talk to you about, Tom,
- 45:58Speaker 1: That's what I want to talk about. We didn't understand
- 46:00Speaker 1: much in the country, but we understood the bare basics
- 46:04Speaker 1: of physics and gravity and gravity. Yeah, so we understood
- 46:07Speaker 1: the gravity. You take it to the bottom of a
- 46:08Speaker 1: hill when there's snow on it, and all you needed
- 46:11Speaker 1: was something slippy to go on it. And what better
- 46:14Speaker 1: than one of these fier about.
- 46:15Speaker 3: It's Newton's law. Just reduced, reduce the friction, increase the weight,
- 46:19Speaker 3: and uh turn up the fucking gravity and.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Away you go. I always found you have to go
- 46:26Speaker 1: down the hill a couple of times on the same
- 46:28Speaker 1: track to sort of wear a track into the ground.
- 46:30Speaker 3: Well, you see, this is the thing. You're getting tusky
- 46:32Speaker 3: grass around winter early, you know, like January you get snow,
- 46:36Speaker 3: February you might get snow. And the grass at that
- 46:38Speaker 3: stage isn't the smoothly cut grass that you find in
- 46:42Speaker 3: August or September. Our tusks have grown, so they'll blow,
- 46:45Speaker 3: they'll bust the arson fucking legs off you the force
- 46:48Speaker 3: few spins. But once you push all that grass down
- 46:51Speaker 3: down the hill, you can you've now created yourself a
- 46:54Speaker 3: slipping slide like like like a loosee run. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 46:59Speaker 3: you've create your own arscroove the whole way.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Down a lot. I remember times Tom where I sort
- 47:04Speaker 1: of like for the first couple of.
- 47:05Speaker 3: Runs I sort of had to drag myself with my
- 47:06Speaker 3: heels down the hill.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you scooch, it's you scooch down the hill first
- 47:11Speaker 1: and one hundred yards is a long fucking way to
- 47:13Speaker 1: scooch on. Mattallia, Well, it.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Is, and you the loots you would need nowadays to
- 47:19Speaker 3: be able to do that. I mean, we both have
- 47:20Speaker 3: stitches even just thinking about it. But let's go.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Once you had your lose run done, the next one
- 47:26Speaker 1: was much easier.
- 47:26Speaker 3: But we need to explain the dynamics of what you
- 47:29Speaker 3: actually do here, Jared, like, you're all we've done is
- 47:31Speaker 3: scooched and we brought a bag up, Like, what do
- 47:33Speaker 3: we don't what do we don't tell these fine folk
- 47:35Speaker 3: exactly what the heck we were doing with this bag
- 47:37Speaker 3: when we got to the top the bag.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
- 47:40Speaker 3: The bag was the sled. I'm sorry.
- 47:42Speaker 1: If we'd glossed over that every now and then we'll
- 47:44Speaker 1: find ourselves not explaining things to people.
- 47:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Like, that's fairly self explanatory. But I have a question
- 47:49Speaker 1: for you, Tom, one very simple question. Did you put
- 47:52Speaker 1: anything in your bag?
- 47:54Speaker 2: No?
- 47:54Speaker 3: And I've heard of this before, I didn't. I Like,
- 47:58Speaker 3: typically I would, I would be fairly staunching the way
- 48:01Speaker 3: I would have the bag. So these bags when you'd
- 48:05Speaker 3: when they got cut by a knife at the top.
- 48:06Speaker 3: They would be cut at the top, but you can't
- 48:10Speaker 3: cut it bang on the top. Like if you think
- 48:11Speaker 3: about a cold bag, it has a scene where two
- 48:13Speaker 3: pieces come together, So you would cut across let's say,
- 48:16Speaker 3: just an inch down from the front of the bag.
- 48:18Speaker 3: So you're now left with a big old flap. Yes,
- 48:21Speaker 3: some lads for some reason would have the flap further
- 48:23Speaker 3: under their ours. I always prefer to have the flap
- 48:25Speaker 3: as nearly a little handle for yourself. Yeah, yeah, I
- 48:30Speaker 3: just saw some lads just went freeball, hands up in
- 48:32Speaker 3: the air, just going like maniacs. But they would that
- 48:35Speaker 3: they'd invariably there's no steering ability then.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Like, so none for what there was to be in with.
- 48:40Speaker 1: But I will say, though I don't know whether it
- 48:42Speaker 1: was for cushioning or comfort or just not having your
- 48:46Speaker 1: bare boney arse on the ground. We would fill the.
- 48:49Speaker 3: Bags with straw, do you know? You see they're in
- 48:52Speaker 3: That is the evolution, that's it. That's soft handed moning,
- 48:57Speaker 3: maybe it is, but it's an involved mindset that now
- 49:00Speaker 3: makes perfect sense to me now that you've said it.
- 49:02Speaker 3: But then the bony arts, fucking hardened, fucking Tipperary fuckers
- 49:06Speaker 3: like we weren't long gone.
- 49:07Speaker 1: From the forest. All. I'll say, Thomas, you must take
- 49:10Speaker 1: into account that our soil is stonier and grayer than
- 49:13Speaker 1: you were. Free.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Well, ours were our fucking hills.
- 49:18Speaker 1: You needed suspension.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Our heels were still full of fucking rebels that were
- 49:22Speaker 3: still running the fucking free status like you fucking joke.
- 49:26Speaker 3: We had to duck from ak fucking shots for Christ's sake.
- 49:30Speaker 1: But but but yes we would, we would. What I
- 49:32Speaker 1: would do is, rather than have it as a same
- 49:33Speaker 1: I would sort of catch the whole neck and Philip
- 49:35Speaker 1: was wrong. And then I would catch the whole neck
- 49:37Speaker 1: in the bag, as I would call it, and you
- 49:39Speaker 1: can kind of hold it like the neck of a balloon.
- 49:40Speaker 1: So it was like all bunched in my two hands,
- 49:42Speaker 1: like I was riding a broomstick. And then I would
- 49:45Speaker 1: lean back and let a rip potato chip.
- 49:47Speaker 3: Hold your horses, Hold your horses. Now, this is I
- 49:50Speaker 3: think we just stumbled onto some This is some two
- 49:54Speaker 3: parts of amazing Dixon line going in totally different directions. Here,
- 49:58Speaker 3: did you hobby horse stet down the fucking down the hill?
- 50:03Speaker 1: No, it was like sitting on a pillow. It wasn't
- 50:04Speaker 1: like I was It wasn't so stuffed with straw that
- 50:06Speaker 1: it was full. It was just like the bare minimum
- 50:09Speaker 1: of Okay, so we sleeping bagged that thing down the hill.
- 50:13Speaker 3: Oh you sleeping bag? No, you put your feet in
- 50:17Speaker 3: the bag.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Oh how long a second here?
- 50:19Speaker 3: Now this is very fucking interesting.
- 50:21Speaker 1: Oh hang on, Yeah, I don't want to start a round.
- 50:25Speaker 3: I mean, you still got good speed because you're just plastic.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Where was your Your arse was in the bag. Your
- 50:31Speaker 3: arse was in the bag, in the bag, so you
- 50:33Speaker 3: bunch your little knees upright, You took that. You get
- 50:36Speaker 3: as much of the bag up past your arse as
- 50:38Speaker 3: you possibly can. Yeah, and once you get once you
- 50:41Speaker 3: get forward velocity going that bag ain't coming forward. It
- 50:44Speaker 3: is going backwards and covering more of your ars as
- 50:46Speaker 3: you're sliding. So you are just That's why I was saying,
- 50:49Speaker 3: you need next to nothing. You can fold the bag up,
- 50:51Speaker 3: put it in your pocket, and up the hills you go.
- 50:52Speaker 3: Nobody knows what you're up to. You're just going for
- 50:55Speaker 3: a leisurely stroll. But as soon as you get to
- 50:57Speaker 3: the top of the hill, out with your bag, legs
- 50:59Speaker 3: in and jump down onto the ground. For all your
- 51:01Speaker 3: word and rock it down that fucking hill for everything
- 51:04Speaker 3: you can do. So you got into the bag, got
- 51:07Speaker 3: into the badger. Yeah, so you you filled it up
- 51:11Speaker 3: like like a Lolo ball. Will say you filled it
- 51:14Speaker 3: up like a lola the bouncy bouncy Lola balls. But
- 51:16Speaker 3: you allowed it to kind of flap behind the.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Pillow, a pillow of of of straw.
- 51:20Speaker 3: So you hooked it up like a witch's brot on
- 51:23Speaker 3: the whole lass.
- 51:23Speaker 1: Bag on the bat.
- 51:26Speaker 3: How did you control that? Not? Well, tom oh no,
- 51:30Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine controlling that thing at all, because I
- 51:32Speaker 3: know you can.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Find yourself spinning round and going backwards and tumbling. Oh no,
- 51:34Speaker 1: never never, but never done on us to put our
- 51:36Speaker 1: fucking whole selves in the bag.
- 51:38Speaker 3: Yeah, put you dive into the bag. You'd put it
- 51:40Speaker 3: and there was there was big bags too you could
- 51:42Speaker 3: get like there was big long bags like that. I
- 51:44Speaker 3: think they're shortening only had the bags. No, these were
- 51:47Speaker 3: there was big bags you could get that would actually
- 51:49Speaker 3: come up to your waist like there was big ones
- 51:51Speaker 3: if you were looking.
- 51:52Speaker 1: So you got into it like you're in the in
- 51:54Speaker 1: the sack race in the sackrisce.
- 51:55Speaker 3: But you you would swam a standing start, you would
- 51:58Speaker 3: literally jump up into the land only straight down on
- 52:02Speaker 3: your arse and then gone down the hill and you're
- 52:05Speaker 3: just rocketing to hope and your fucking feet will stop
- 52:08Speaker 3: something when you hit when you get to the bottom.
- 52:10Speaker 3: But invariably you would hit a stump of some fucking
- 52:13Speaker 3: thing and go flying head over tits. Yeah, I suppose
- 52:19Speaker 3: that's just how you were raised, isn't it. That's very
- 52:22Speaker 3: interesting when you we said the same implement, but we
- 52:24Speaker 3: went two completely different routes.
- 52:26Speaker 1: That's mad. I'll tell you one thing. I'll tell you
- 52:29Speaker 1: what was the Rolls Royce of the nineteen eighties downhills
- 52:33Speaker 1: led raising Tomina. I never had the pleasure myself a
- 52:36Speaker 1: little bit later in life, and I reckon gravity wasn't
- 52:39Speaker 1: doing me any favors at the time. Was the car bonnit?
- 52:44Speaker 3: I'm just gonna tay this.
- 52:46Speaker 1: This was the stuff of lore that some other kids
- 52:49Speaker 1: in class, like you know.
- 52:51Speaker 3: And it was the eighties.
- 52:52Speaker 1: It was the countryside. Most houses had a scrap car
- 52:56Speaker 1: out the back, and we were several Now we didn't
- 53:02Speaker 1: we any car. We had. We were like a one
- 53:04Speaker 1: car house. When one dayed it got dragged off and
- 53:07Speaker 1: another one came up. So I never had a carbonet
- 53:10Speaker 1: just kicking around the place, but I had heard legendary
- 53:12Speaker 1: tales about a carbonet going down the hill, because what
- 53:14Speaker 1: can you do with a carbonet load? Six kids, aren't them?
- 53:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what we did. It was a feat,
- 53:19Speaker 3: I will remember till the day I die. It was
- 53:21Speaker 3: a yellow feat one four seven, which is a seriously
- 53:24Speaker 3: collector's item nowadays. I think there was a GT version
- 53:27Speaker 3: as well. They're a cool kind of boxy shaped yeah,
- 53:31Speaker 3: two seater, you know what I mean. But it had
- 53:33Speaker 3: a bonnet. Let's say, let's say the bonnet was five
- 53:36Speaker 3: and a half foot wide, six foot wide. It had
- 53:39Speaker 3: maybe four foot but it had enough of a front scoop,
- 53:42Speaker 3: because some bonnets would stop short, but this had enough
- 53:44Speaker 3: of a bend back, shall we say, to make a
- 53:48Speaker 3: toboggan of it. And we there was enough. Like every bonnet,
- 53:52Speaker 3: they've got a kind of a skeletal fucking framing on
- 53:54Speaker 3: the inside, so you had enough holes to choose from
- 53:58Speaker 3: to stick a rope in. So so the three or
- 54:00Speaker 3: four of us would take it up on our on
- 54:03Speaker 3: our heads. I mean, imagine looking up the hill and
- 54:05Speaker 3: seeing four young folous walking with a bonnet on their
- 54:07Speaker 3: fucking there's only one thing they're going doing with it, like,
- 54:10Speaker 3: but nobody seem to pay any attention. But we would
- 54:12Speaker 3: go up to the hill with this thing, and yeah,
- 54:16Speaker 3: same story, pick a hill, pick a route. We kind
- 54:19Speaker 3: of come up with a plan that if we're going,
- 54:21Speaker 3: you know, the two lads in the middle would lean forward,
- 54:23Speaker 3: the two lads on the sides would try and keep
- 54:25Speaker 3: it as steady as they could. And it worked sixty
- 54:30Speaker 3: percent of the time, you know, And I mean you
- 54:33Speaker 3: got speed, you got speed, You got fucking speed on
- 54:36Speaker 3: this thing.
- 54:37Speaker 1: I tried it later in life, tom as as I
- 54:39Speaker 1: remembered now, I didn't try it with the bonnet of
- 54:41Speaker 1: a car. I tried it with the at the door
- 54:44Speaker 1: of a car.
- 54:45Speaker 3: And that wasn't it, did you know? It just wasn't it.
- 54:49Speaker 3: The windows up or down there, and and and it.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Just sort of fucking sat there going nowhere. Bollocks to this.
- 54:55Speaker 3: No, I could be I could be wrong in the feet,
- 54:57Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but I'm nearly sure one four seven.
- 55:01Speaker 3: It could have been something else, but I'm nearly sure
- 55:04Speaker 3: it was a yellow or yellow or green bonnet with
- 55:07Speaker 3: another bend forward on it. That we're able to get,
- 55:10Speaker 3: but like we got a fuck up coming off that thing,
- 55:14Speaker 3: like oh god, because I.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Mean, but here's the other, here's the other thing. That
- 55:16Speaker 1: what you needed for all this, Tom, what they are
- 55:18Speaker 1: going down on a manure bag or a car bonnet
- 55:20Speaker 1: or anything. We'd love to hear the comments of what
- 55:22Speaker 1: you went down a hill in? What you needed was
- 55:25Speaker 1: a hill, Tom. And around where I was sad to say,
- 55:31Speaker 1: we never really had like a real good hill. We
- 55:34Speaker 1: get a couple of hills that you'd certainly go down,
- 55:36Speaker 1: but fifty sixty yards maybe tops, not a very very
- 55:40Speaker 1: steep gradient, but just enough that it would get you
- 55:43Speaker 1: from the top to the bottom. And it would be
- 55:44Speaker 1: a bit of crack. And the more you did it,
- 55:46Speaker 1: the further you'd go because the grass would get slicker,
- 55:49Speaker 1: you'd go even further every time. Did you have a
- 55:52Speaker 1: good hill time?
- 55:53Speaker 3: Do you know what we did? We didn't jer like
- 55:55Speaker 3: to go like a long run hill. You ain't catching
- 55:58Speaker 3: great speed. That's the thing around here too. It's big
- 56:01Speaker 3: agrie land around here. So like had we weear with
- 56:04Speaker 3: all we have plenty of mountains, we could have gone
- 56:07Speaker 3: up and died. Do you know what I mean? With
- 56:09Speaker 3: the velocity you would have gotten coming off them things.
- 56:11Speaker 3: But we had a couple of short front hills that
- 56:14Speaker 3: you get one hundred meters out of it, and I
- 56:16Speaker 3: mean one hundred meters at fucking seven years of age.
- 56:18Speaker 3: Is all you really want? All you need, buddy, because
- 56:22Speaker 3: it doesn't you know, like the children nowadays will watch
- 56:26Speaker 3: Frozen nine hundred times. Yes, well, keeping in the team
- 56:30Speaker 3: of Frozen. Your fingers could be falling off with the pain,
- 56:34Speaker 3: but they're roaring and laughing. You would do with your mates.
- 56:38Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. You're going back up that fucking tiny
- 56:40Speaker 3: hill fire fucking times. It doesn't matter because you're just gone.
- 56:46Speaker 3: If I've got it's better nearly to have a shorter
- 56:48Speaker 3: sleeper hill because you can do it more times.
- 56:50Speaker 1: Because you can do it more times, remember you have
- 56:51Speaker 1: to go all the way back up.
- 56:52Speaker 3: To that's that's the thing when you're dragging the fucking
- 56:56Speaker 3: a yoke or I mean, that's why the bags became
- 56:58Speaker 3: very popular because there was like this fucking but that's
- 57:00Speaker 3: a great idea, but like until you have to haul
- 57:02Speaker 3: it back up a hill, like you can see the
- 57:04Speaker 3: merits of a stairlift in these ski skier it's like, okay, Yeah.
- 57:08Speaker 3: Hence I still to this day think I remember, I've
- 57:12Speaker 3: been skiing maybe ten times, and not one person did
- 57:16Speaker 3: I ever meet that I'd ever done the fucking the
- 57:18Speaker 3: If I ten ten twenty bags never had done anything,
- 57:22Speaker 3: like a few guys actually talked about sledding, it's like,
- 57:25Speaker 3: oh fuck off.
- 57:26Speaker 1: Honestly, Tom, I wouldn't trust You're not going to get
- 57:28Speaker 1: too deep into it now because we're closing the finish here.
- 57:31Speaker 1: If I ever went to a ski resort, I just
- 57:35Speaker 1: want to go down in.
- 57:36Speaker 3: The sled to be honest, you know full well, if
- 57:40Speaker 3: you've got the ski resort, you go. I'm wonder if
- 57:43Speaker 3: they're fucking co op there here and just entailed the
- 57:46Speaker 3: bag of fertilizer.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Just just give me a bag of fertilizer and a
- 57:49Speaker 1: bit of twine and that'll do me, because I gotta
- 57:51Speaker 1: tell you, I'm not gonna trust myself on two skis
- 57:54Speaker 1: and my legs and my ship ankles.
- 57:55Speaker 3: To be fair, you're ninety nine percent of the time
- 57:58Speaker 3: skiing is absolutely fine. The only thing you have to
- 57:59Speaker 3: watch out for skiing is fat, unathletic English people. And
- 58:05Speaker 3: that's the one thing they will they will cut across
- 58:06Speaker 3: the hill like the most awkward fucking do you know
- 58:10Speaker 3: that you know? And in like you look in a
- 58:11Speaker 3: group of animals like a bunch of fucking ducks, and
- 58:13Speaker 3: everyone with his beacon upside down, who's just banging it
- 58:16Speaker 3: to everybody there's that fucking absolute Derek will come fly
- 58:20Speaker 3: and blow out like three people's fucking a c LS.
- 58:22Speaker 3: You're like, scan was fine up until you showed up.
- 58:24Speaker 3: You digead.
- 58:26Speaker 1: We nearly got through a whole episode without a swing
- 58:28Speaker 1: at the English time, right, I did it for you.
- 58:31Speaker 3: I did it for you. I did it for you.
- 58:33Speaker 1: But listen, we want to hear you know we've got
- 58:35Speaker 1: controversial methods over the ten times twenty bags here going
- 58:38Speaker 1: down hills. We want to talk to anybody probably going
