Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello again. I'm back after a few weeks of what
- 0:04Speaker 1: you might call a technical difficulty. See where it was was.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I got trapped up a chimney after my top ladder
- 0:12Speaker 1: came loose and fell off a bloody thing, so I
- 0:16Speaker 1: had to wait for someone brave enough to climb up
- 0:19Speaker 1: here with a new ladder for me. Seemingly I'm the
- 0:22Speaker 1: only one around here who doesn't mind climbing two hundred
- 0:25Speaker 1: foot chimneys because nobody else was brave enough to do
- 0:29Speaker 1: the job. But we got it done. In the end,
- 0:33Speaker 1: no normal service can resume. I'll see the.
- 0:43Speaker 2: This week's episode of The Tom and Jerry Show is
- 0:45Speaker 2: brought to you by Saint Anthony. If you can't find
- 0:48Speaker 2: something such as a pair of headphones, Saint Anthony will
- 0:51Speaker 2: help you out.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I'm here. I can only apologize that Jerry's bouncing two
- 0:56Speaker 1: ways into the microphone. He shouldn't really like the way
- 0:58Speaker 1: we have it set up, but yeah, yeah, five sets
- 1:01Speaker 1: of headphones around, and I like.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Thee their sound gear here, Jr?
- 1:06Speaker 1: Coming out? Are you the you have? Like? There's excel
- 1:10Speaker 1: or cables, there's fucking all sorts of jacks. I mixed
- 1:13Speaker 1: things around me here and none of them. I have
- 1:17Speaker 1: a set of air pod things for the phone, but
- 1:20Speaker 1: they won't work here on the laptop. So it's like
- 1:22Speaker 1: I made a bit stuck to Brussels sprouts into my
- 1:25Speaker 1: fucking ears for all its work, but we we get
- 1:27Speaker 1: we struggled on. I was in the Wars. I look
- 1:31Speaker 1: tough as fuck. I don't know happened. You see kind
- 1:34Speaker 1: of mark around there. I'm trying to tell everything make
- 1:37Speaker 1: out like I got into a right scrap.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You've got makes of like it looks like like Mike
- 1:41Speaker 2: Tyson's tattoos, like cresent one eye.
- 1:45Speaker 1: If you imagine the stumpy end of a branch, like
- 1:49Speaker 1: if you cut it last year, Yes, it had gone
- 1:52Speaker 1: nice and black, so you wouldn't really see it when
- 1:54Speaker 1: you push a lawn more in underneath, said grab apple tree. Yeah,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and what was wed it? Even? I suppose the funny
- 2:02Speaker 1: side of it. I give it a right slap, but
- 2:03Speaker 1: it was like, ah, that's all right, and went away
- 2:05Speaker 1: fairly quickly continued just trimming up the lawn, and then
- 2:10Speaker 1: got a phone call from the computer guy. Things are
- 2:12Speaker 1: looking some way good. J wanted micromission to press some
- 2:16Speaker 1: with a situation. Situation and when I went into him.
- 2:18Speaker 1: It was one of probably the funniest exchanges in five
- 2:22Speaker 1: seconds that I've ever come across, or at least the
- 2:24Speaker 1: funniest greeting I've ever gotten when I'm walking into a shop.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Jesus fucking Christ went you all right, what the fuck
- 2:34Speaker 1: happen to your face? And then he held up like
- 2:38Speaker 1: a shiny He just looked around and find like the
- 2:40Speaker 1: shiny screen thing. Yeah, it'd been I've been pissing blood
- 2:43Speaker 1: out of the side of my head. I looked I
- 2:45Speaker 1: didn't look like the man that should be going into
- 2:47Speaker 1: his tech shop. I looked pretty rough too. There was
- 2:49Speaker 1: a sleeve missing off the tea shirt.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Jery.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It wasn't good. It wasn't good, But it was all
- 2:56Speaker 1: in preparation to nip the grass down to the boat
- 2:58Speaker 1: so that my new robotic lawnmower.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Oh you you you edged into the world of robotic lawnmorage.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Well, Jared did. The goats just ain't getting it done.
- 3:08Speaker 2: And doing it.
- 3:09Speaker 1: But I'll tell you it's hilarious. You see the bastards
- 3:12Speaker 1: coming down now in the evening, I'm gonna going, oh.
- 3:15Speaker 2: No, we'll lead that bit there, We'll we'll lead that bit.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Really and they're sartainly eat Now the section that I'd
- 3:21Speaker 1: given to the robot lawnmower, like I you fucking joke me,
- 3:25Speaker 1: Like it's they're just short of just kicking it over
- 3:29Speaker 1: now at this stage.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Tom, how is it that you did not know the
- 3:33Speaker 2: goats are contrary bastards.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Well, if anybody looked at it, if somebody from the
- 3:38Speaker 1: past or the future looked at the situation. There are
- 3:41Speaker 1: two generations of grass eaters going on on my property
- 3:44Speaker 1: right now, and I have a funny feeling I know
- 3:47Speaker 1: which one is gonna win out and I went out.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I mean, the goat is going to end up taking
- 3:54Speaker 1: my entire family, kidnap a hostage and demand the chopper
- 3:57Speaker 1: to the airport and twenty grand and on mark bills.
- 4:00Speaker 1: That's probably what's gonna happen.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I want twenty bills of unmarked grass.
- 4:09Speaker 1: And none of you are funny shit.
- 4:10Speaker 2: None you are funny shit. No, no grass from the
- 4:12Speaker 2: bottom of the tray. Come here to me, Tom, we'll
- 4:15Speaker 2: push on with the show.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Here.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show. I'm
- 4:19Speaker 2: Jerry McBride. That's Tom, O'Mahony. His goats are his goats.
- 4:23Speaker 2: His eye is his eye. I am going to launch
- 4:28Speaker 2: into the show because I'm gonna tell you one thing
- 4:30Speaker 2: here now. I'm tired. I had a freaking day of today,
- 4:32Speaker 2: So I did you look contrary?
- 4:35Speaker 1: All right?
- 4:35Speaker 2: I'm contrary as fuck, And I went to the gym
- 4:38Speaker 2: late in the day, which I don't like doing, and
- 4:40Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't have done. I probably should have just
- 4:41Speaker 2: sat at home, especially when I knew I had some
- 4:43Speaker 2: broadcasting to do. And I want to keep the standard
- 4:45Speaker 2: of the Tom and Jerry Show nice and high. So
- 4:47Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do is gonna rock it on through
- 4:49Speaker 2: the show and hopefully the momentum will catch up with
- 4:51Speaker 2: me a little bit here because people can come here
- 4:53Speaker 2: for no fucking half ass comedy podcast. No, God, No,
- 4:56Speaker 2: they come here to hear the news. Tom. That's what
- 4:58Speaker 2: we're gonna bring them in the first side of the show.
- 5:00Speaker 2: We're gonna bring them the weekly what have you?
- 5:03Speaker 1: I like this one for I liked it, and then
- 5:06Speaker 1: then it annoyed me right out the gate at the
- 5:08Speaker 1: beginning because my old construction head went into into things.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna have, for Fox's sake, these bollocks is
- 5:17Speaker 1: with more time on our hands and then divelopment and
- 5:21Speaker 1: crack took over and went, do you know what, do
- 5:23Speaker 1: you know what? It's nearly like storm an area fifty one?
- 5:26Speaker 1: That that thing that went around and you know what,
- 5:28Speaker 1: Fitty crag, this is it.
- 5:30Speaker 2: We'll bring everybody up to speed. Here. It is the
- 5:33Speaker 2: diversion of a UK to Ireland power link. So they're
- 5:36Speaker 2: gonna lay a line from the coast of Wexford over
- 5:40Speaker 2: to the coast of the UK and bring it up
- 5:43Speaker 2: on the beach in the UK. These are things that
- 5:45Speaker 2: happen in the world, Tom, You know, these are just
- 5:48Speaker 2: you know, commonstance happenings. Apparently, you can just bring a
- 5:53Speaker 2: cable across the seas all you want. But what you
- 5:55Speaker 2: can't do, Tom, is you can't bring it up on
- 5:57Speaker 2: the beach. We're a very famous movie scene was shot,
- 6:02Speaker 2: a very famous movie scene in a series that means
- 6:04Speaker 2: a lot to a lot of people. You cannot bring
- 6:06Speaker 2: it up on the beach, Tom over, Rocky Apollo sprinting, Yeah,
- 6:14Speaker 2: you can't bring it up on the beach where Dobby,
- 6:17Speaker 2: the house Elf from the Harry Potter movies is buried.
- 6:22Speaker 2: That was the plan. A bunch of Harry Potter fans,
- 6:25Speaker 2: and there's still a few about the place. Said the fog,
- 6:27Speaker 2: you're going to do that? And they they are moving.
- 6:31Speaker 2: They are moving the the power line, Tom, people power
- 6:34Speaker 2: got the job done. Your immediate thoughts, please.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I'm like I thought the Harry Potter thing had passed,
- 6:41Speaker 1: do you know what I mean?
- 6:42Speaker 2: Like I thought, Okay, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna, We're
- 6:46Speaker 2: not gonna get we remember when all that quick, Tom,
- 6:48Speaker 2: But I remember when Harry Potter came out, and I
- 6:51Speaker 2: was not a fan because even back then, twenty five
- 6:54Speaker 2: odd years ago, I was a grown ass man. Yeah, yeah,
- 6:58Speaker 2: I was in my twenties. I couldn't you know Harry
- 7:02Speaker 2: Potter that year as well? Turn around to me, go,
- 7:04Speaker 2: you're reading the latest David Williams fucking World's Worst Kids
- 7:07Speaker 2: or some shit like that. No, I'm gone by it.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I'm a grown ass man. So the movies passed me by.
- 7:12Speaker 2: The books certainly passed me by. And around about the
- 7:15Speaker 2: same time, the Lord of the Rings came out and
- 7:17Speaker 2: I had enough time and energy to invest in one
- 7:20Speaker 2: fictional multi part movie series. Harry Potter just didn't make
- 7:25Speaker 2: the cut, Buddy.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I was the same yeah, it passed me by, and
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm guessing the past. Well, I'm a hope that, like
- 7:31Speaker 1: you meet people at our own age, Jurn, they're really
- 7:33Speaker 1: investing in You're like, what come on now? Even? Okay,
- 7:37Speaker 1: all right, Paddington Bear is probably more tied to reality
- 7:42Speaker 1: than Harry Potter. Let's get real. So if you're gonna
- 7:44Speaker 1: get upset.
- 7:45Speaker 2: The bears in Peru and you know, if you want,
- 7:47Speaker 2: you can ship one over to England, So that much
- 7:49Speaker 2: at least is a thing that can physically.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Paddington is actually a real station. Like Harry Potter, none
- 7:56Speaker 1: of it exists, like bears exist. House elves don't.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Like, are you familiar with Dobby the house Elf?
- 8:05Speaker 1: I am?
- 8:06Speaker 2: I know he's I've seen the movies since I was
- 8:08Speaker 2: kind of.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Like the guy had been, and it's just from seeing
- 8:14Speaker 1: bits and pace, right, So I don't fully know. I
- 8:18Speaker 1: didn't even know he was dead, to be honest with you,
- 8:19Speaker 1: I didn't get that far in the series. Right. He dies,
- 8:22Speaker 1: he dies, right, but of course it does.
- 8:24Speaker 2: But he always guys on the beach, he kind of
- 8:27Speaker 2: I've watched the movies multiple times. I don't know what
- 8:30Speaker 2: the fuck they're doing on the beach quite frankly that
- 8:32Speaker 2: I forget. They don't stick with me.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Do you remember in in Game of Thrones, do you
- 8:36Speaker 1: remember Tea on Gray Joe he had his cock cut off?
- 8:40Speaker 2: Yes?
- 8:40Speaker 1: And do you remember he was kind of made a
- 8:42Speaker 1: disheveled Yeah, that's kind of what I felt happened to
- 8:47Speaker 1: Debby or he got moleisted.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Like I really got a bad vibe of what.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Was going on there. I'm like, who's this for representing?
- 8:53Speaker 1: Because this doesn't dressed.
- 8:55Speaker 2: In rags one in her und place. If anybody is
- 8:57Speaker 2: not familiar with Debby the house elf, he is Harry
- 9:00Speaker 2: Potter's personal slave, I guess yeah.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And it fucking weirds me out because she was crafty
- 9:06Speaker 1: enough on who she depicted certain characters to be. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: we know who the bankers were, and we know who
- 9:12Speaker 1: you know.
- 9:13Speaker 2: We know that the one Irish character she has in
- 9:15Speaker 2: the whole thing is a guy who makes alcohol and explosives.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yeah, so it ends up having a gambling the problem
- 9:22Speaker 1: in real life. But anyway, that.
- 9:25Speaker 2: But it cannot be understated as well. Tom, that Dobby
- 9:29Speaker 2: the house out looks like a sack of balls. He does,
- 9:34Speaker 2: like a fucking ball sack, like he I couldn't.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Like when I was reading the first grave was what
- 9:41Speaker 1: I read and I went, oh gee, this must be
- 9:42Speaker 1: word the berry Bowie or something. I went, Okay, I
- 9:46Speaker 1: get it. But the fact that nothing is buried there.
- 9:49Speaker 2: No, it's a fictional place. It's a fictional gravesite s
- 9:54Speaker 2: where they shot it.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Like it's like exactly turning up the Skellic Micael and
- 9:57Speaker 1: get being raging that there isn't lads, light lightsabers for
- 10:01Speaker 1: real there. Yeah.
- 10:02Speaker 2: And but here's the thing. Here's the very funny thing, Tom.
- 10:08Speaker 2: It's a place that means a lot to a lot
- 10:11Speaker 2: of people, apparently, and uh, Corporation, we're just gonna like, well,
- 10:17Speaker 2: we're gonna buil those over. We're gonna bring a pipe
- 10:19Speaker 2: up there. If that's okay with everybody, We're just going
- 10:21Speaker 2: to do it anyway. And the people said no to
- 10:24Speaker 2: the to a degree that the the giant Corporation had
- 10:28Speaker 2: to go like, okay, well, Jesus, I guess if there's
- 10:32Speaker 2: that fucking many of you, because all the talk was
- 10:34Speaker 2: like a couple of people in the area to say
- 10:36Speaker 2: no and get onto their nearest to Harry Potter thread
- 10:40Speaker 2: on Reddit, and then you've got the entire Harry Potter
- 10:43Speaker 2: universe around the world, which is millions of people going
- 10:46Speaker 2: save Dobby's grave. And you see, it's something quite charming
- 10:50Speaker 2: and disney Ish about that standing up, standing up to
- 10:53Speaker 2: the evil corporation and winning.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Oh, it's kind of like the Remember the Raccoons or
- 10:59Speaker 1: to do it the whole time. But I there's you
- 11:01Speaker 1: know what, it's a very smart thing. Like if you
- 11:03Speaker 1: wanted if your rival electricity company or whatever is just
- 11:08Speaker 1: find you know, a fervent fan group, like if it
- 11:11Speaker 1: was to do with the GA, there they are. It's
- 11:13Speaker 1: a cost. It's a packaged fan base, just like Harry Potter.
- 11:17Speaker 1: All the hard work has been done. You just go.
- 11:20Speaker 1: They're bringing it up there, like if you found that,
- 11:23Speaker 1: You're like, they're bringing it up on top of Dobby's
- 11:25Speaker 1: great I do like like they were talking with the
- 11:27Speaker 1: manager director and he got his phone call going, you're
- 11:31Speaker 1: bringing it up there a grave? Oh god, are we
- 11:34Speaker 1: Dobby's grave? What's a Dobby? Like the guy helped me, Nora,
- 11:40Speaker 1: what's the fucking dB? Yeah, that's a fair point. What
- 11:42Speaker 1: is a Dobby? Like?
- 11:43Speaker 2: He's a ball of sack that is wrapped in a side.
- 11:46Speaker 2: It's just it's just like fucking testical skin.
- 11:49Speaker 1: But it would seem that where they've had to push
- 11:52Speaker 1: it to is quite close to now a bronze age
- 11:56Speaker 1: and you know.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Oh nobody, Tom, you can take it a home undred
- 12:00Speaker 2: yards up the beach and bring it to the grave
- 12:02Speaker 2: of an actual suffragette. Yeah, we will give a.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Fuck fuck that lady, you know what I mean. And
- 12:11Speaker 1: it's got And that was what Gramad is going. He's
- 12:13Speaker 1: We've spent all this time making sure and so many
- 12:17Speaker 1: surveys and I imagine like I've had to do these
- 12:20Speaker 1: these uh you know, pre built surveys, pre even proposed surveys,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and you do them and you're surveying everything. They were like, well,
- 12:28Speaker 1: this is the age of a rock bit and there's
- 12:30Speaker 1: a lamp post there. We could put that hit that
- 12:32Speaker 1: with a marker service service service er. You see the
- 12:35Speaker 1: guys with the tripod and they're out. You're trying to
- 12:37Speaker 1: pick up everything and create a map of exactly what
- 12:40Speaker 1: is absolutely there. There is a little to no chance,
- 12:45Speaker 1: like there's no symbol on your cursor because you're walking
- 12:48Speaker 1: around with a cursor as the laser is following you
- 12:50Speaker 1: and there is no symbol. I can promise you for
- 12:52Speaker 1: a fictional Harry Potter fucking grave site.
- 12:56Speaker 2: It's like we're dealing with real life things, you know what.
- 12:57Speaker 2: It's very like, Tom, It's very like you know, when
- 12:59Speaker 2: the when the children were a bit smaller, you'd come
- 13:02Speaker 2: in to sit down for your dinner and then we
- 13:04Speaker 2: want to turn and go. You can't sit there, my
- 13:06Speaker 2: imaginary friends sitting there? Yeah, era, fuck raps sitting there
- 13:11Speaker 2: and move. It ain't sitting there now, I put you
- 13:15Speaker 2: know what.
- 13:15Speaker 1: In one way though, I am the divelopment against the
- 13:18Speaker 1: big corporate like it is for Crack. Like, okay, there'll
- 13:21Speaker 1: be some absolute freaks, you know what I mean. Let's
- 13:23Speaker 1: be honest, Like you.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Know we're thinking it is for Crack, Tom, I have
- 13:26Speaker 2: a funny feeling for a couple of people in this
- 13:28Speaker 2: particular fan group. It's for Reels's.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Oh, it's for for Reels. I guarantee to be places
- 13:34Speaker 1: in Croatia where you can't budge for you know, the
- 13:37Speaker 1: game of their own scenes like no.
- 13:40Speaker 2: That's where Kleasi walked with her eggs.
- 13:41Speaker 1: And you're like, oh Jesus, right, okay, you'll be all right.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Over the whole thing. And I do you know I
- 13:47Speaker 2: tipped the cap to these legs.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And they got it moved.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Your man didn't seem over like the whole thing.
- 13:54Speaker 1: There was a five hundred million euro you know, pipeline
- 13:58Speaker 1: for electricity broad across. I don't think they had to
- 14:02Speaker 1: turn it and take it home. I think they could
- 14:03Speaker 1: take it up the beach a couple of feet, like yeah, yeah,
- 14:06Speaker 1: Like the reading of your man was like there's a
- 14:08Speaker 1: pain in the hole. But we got it done, like,
- 14:10Speaker 1: you know. More than anything, what still shocks me to
- 14:13Speaker 1: the stage is that we're still going with big cables
- 14:19Speaker 1: across the sea.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Is there not a better way to do these things?
- 14:24Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty years ago we were doing that
- 14:26Speaker 1: ship like with the electrification and stuff like that. We
- 14:30Speaker 1: what are you telling me that we're still pulling big
- 14:33Speaker 1: cables across Like we haven't figured that out? Like I'm
- 14:36Speaker 1: pretty sure that was figured out a long time ago
- 14:38Speaker 1: by a famously named fella. But we're still pulling big
- 14:42Speaker 1: out cables across Apparently.
- 14:44Speaker 2: It's still the way to do it. I think, you know,
- 14:48Speaker 2: if we can have some sort of throw and catch
- 14:51Speaker 2: device where a giant death Star style laser in the
- 14:54Speaker 2: UK just blasts a beam of pure energy over the
- 14:58Speaker 2: Irish Sea and it gets hot by a similar sized dish.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I don't know making this up, Tom in bray, it's
- 15:06Speaker 2: blasting every fish underneath it.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I think there's there's there's simpler ways to go about it.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I think they're.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Tom, like, you know, you know, we don't like to see.
- 15:18Speaker 2: But one thing I know about water is it conducts electricity?
- 15:21Speaker 1: Does it not? It just seems And if that's the
- 15:25Speaker 1: one we've heard about, how many of these things are
- 15:27Speaker 1: stragged across the ocean? Do you know? Like and you're like,
- 15:31Speaker 1: you're just gonna pull a big pipe across the lads,
- 15:34Speaker 1: I'm not asking for fucking beam me up Scotty level
- 15:37Speaker 1: level of fucking you know, ingenuity. But surely, bit of Jesus,
- 15:43Speaker 1: we've moved Like remember when they used to have like
- 15:46Speaker 1: a computer was an entire building. Yes, and now the
- 15:49Speaker 1: thing in your hand or in your pocket is ten
- 15:52Speaker 1: times more powerful. How is still pulling, big brain?
- 15:55Speaker 2: I don't know what in the hand, buddy, the powerful object,
- 16:01Speaker 2: very powerful object, but I'm still.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Flabbergast that we're still doing that. We're like, oh, and
- 16:07Speaker 1: it was to bring in it's to bring in power
- 16:10Speaker 1: from the UK and to sell back purpose surplus power
- 16:13Speaker 1: from Art's like, what are we doing always we've loaded
- 16:19Speaker 1: data centers that needed Hey do you reckon? We'll find
- 16:22Speaker 1: that with the house self. If they try and reroot
- 16:25Speaker 1: the Shannon up to Dublin, I find another grave site.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Do you know this is this is the thing to
- 16:30Speaker 2: be if it's if it was an Ireland like you can't,
- 16:33Speaker 2: you can't, you can't run a power cable there. That's
- 16:36Speaker 2: where that's where fucking glen Rowe glen Roe was filmed
- 16:41Speaker 2: to be care of fuck it through we go here fifteen?
- 16:45Speaker 1: I said, glen Roe, Yes, but you said something about money.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I definitely didn't look in your pocket, but where did
- 16:51Speaker 1: all that money come from?
- 16:53Speaker 2: So yes, congratulations to define folks of the Harry Potter community.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Score one for the week. Guys. Now, and we can't
- 17:02Speaker 2: exactly throw stones tom over here in Ireland, seeing is
- 17:05Speaker 2: how we won't give planning permission in any field that
- 17:07Speaker 2: has a fairy forth loan bush, any of that kind
- 17:11Speaker 2: of cracking it.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Well, it's true, and I remember we I got I'm
- 17:15Speaker 1: sure I've told you this before, but it was during
- 17:17Speaker 1: one of our first lectures in college for construction studies,
- 17:21Speaker 1: and it was they were talking about the big implications
- 17:24Speaker 1: of things that can hit us, even the biggest of sites,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and the one hundred and forty students in the class,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and it was the story of this motorway that was
- 17:32Speaker 1: being built, and it was all held up by this
- 17:35Speaker 1: very rare snail that they found. And that was the
- 17:38Speaker 1: point where I had my hand in the air and
- 17:40Speaker 1: he went, yes, I went, did he have him on
- 17:43Speaker 1: the mixer or what? And the class found it funny lecture,
- 17:50Speaker 1: not so much that kind of marked my card for
- 17:53Speaker 1: the next couple of years, I'll be honest with you,
- 17:55Speaker 1: but it did. It held up.
- 17:56Speaker 2: It was you straightened up and flew right after that.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Tom right. Fuck you never give anyone cheek a bad
- 18:03Speaker 2: manner since yeah, exactly, Well, there we go, there go
- 18:08Speaker 2: Dubby the house of Well, we're gonna stop talking about
- 18:10Speaker 2: that that I'm will move on with the next segment
- 18:13Speaker 2: of the show. This one is actually close to home.
- 18:16Speaker 2: It's close to home, but keep it far away, don't
- 18:18Speaker 2: you know. We're gonna talk about somebody, as everybody knows,
- 18:22Speaker 2: in the second segment of the show, someone who just
- 18:24Speaker 2: someone just pops you know what I mean, Tom, someone
- 18:27Speaker 2: who pops during the week, someone where you go like, huh, this.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Lad I have. I've mixed feelings. I've mixed feelings when
- 18:37Speaker 1: it comes to these lads. And I appreciate the title
- 18:42Speaker 1: that the Irish versions give themselves. Do you know that
- 18:45Speaker 1: the bone setter? It's like, all right, we have been
- 18:50Speaker 1: in some bones.
- 18:51Speaker 2: We have been keeping an eye on this lad, or
- 18:53Speaker 2: indeed these lads for a little while, the profession that
- 18:55Speaker 2: this lad finds himself in. And it was only recently
- 19:00Speaker 2: that I became aware of this particular ad and then
- 19:03Speaker 2: I found out that he fucking lives up the road
- 19:04Speaker 2: for me. So who are we talking about. We are
- 19:06Speaker 2: talking about a gentleman online called Magic Hands Jimmy or
- 19:12Speaker 2: sometimes known as Jimmy Magic Hans or Magic Jimmy Hans,
- 19:15Speaker 2: some combination thereof. And we've been keeping an eye on
- 19:18Speaker 2: him there for a little while since he claimed viral
- 19:21Speaker 2: success over the summer. But it was Colin Darcy on
- 19:25Speaker 2: Instagram sent me a little message saying have you have
- 19:28Speaker 2: you seen this lad? And I was like, you know,
- 19:29Speaker 2: actually know, I'll Colin, I have seen him and we
- 19:32Speaker 2: will cover him. Magic hands, Jimmy. You could beeting with
- 19:36Speaker 2: a name like that, Tom Jesus Christ. I mean, that
- 19:38Speaker 2: is straight up stripper town. Isn't it like Bang Bang Jerry. Yeah,
- 19:42Speaker 2: it's you know, and it's not like, oh, did you
- 19:44Speaker 2: hear the Jimmy family have welcomed the new song? What
- 19:46Speaker 2: did they call him? What they call them magic? I
- 19:48Speaker 2: can name hands. No, he's Jimmy something or other. I
- 19:51Speaker 2: don't really know the man's real name, but his magic
- 19:53Speaker 2: hans refer to the fact that he is a chiropractor Tom,
- 19:57Speaker 2: a physiotherapist kind of a job.
- 20:00Speaker 1: He's like, there'd be a lot of physios and doctors
- 20:02Speaker 1: would lose their mind with these lads, like because they're
- 20:04Speaker 1: just you know, they're cracking bones and they're putting the
- 20:06Speaker 1: old road mike right on the cracking point.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know.
- 20:10Speaker 1: And it's not only just an air pocket or whatever.
- 20:12Speaker 1: But now, okay, somebody these poor devils. I mean, he
- 20:16Speaker 1: tends to show the walking in too, like, and it'll
- 20:19Speaker 1: be some poor woman or some poor fellow who's twisted
- 20:22Speaker 1: like a fucking pretzel. Yeah, and he's walking inside within
- 20:26Speaker 1: the you know, like a crab in the door. He's like, well,
- 20:28Speaker 1: it happened to Now you guess best because he's he's
- 20:31Speaker 1: Eastern European, but he's picked up enough irishang like he
- 20:34Speaker 1: learned English here and guess and say it's like he's
- 20:36Speaker 1: in European.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Here for for a long time because he has he
- 20:40Speaker 2: has a somewhat doublin acent. When I say he's up
- 20:42Speaker 2: the road for me, I don't mean and man, and
- 20:44Speaker 2: I mean here in Dublin fifteen. Yeah, he's won a
- 20:47Speaker 2: state over That makes no never mind, except I'm not
- 20:51Speaker 2: going to slag him or anything like that because he
- 20:53Speaker 2: can literally throw stones and hit my house.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Out to pushing it.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Phones underneath the door, a good wife?
- 21:10Speaker 1: Are you back in my ears? Jerry?
- 21:12Speaker 2: So what we say when we say he's a bone
- 21:15Speaker 2: set or we say he's a bone cracker, this is
- 21:17Speaker 2: this is a subgenre of content that has come on
- 21:21Speaker 2: TikTok I over the last year, and it's these ridiculous
- 21:25Speaker 2: videos of people going to the chiropractors and the chiropractors
- 21:28Speaker 2: will get them in the head like and crack their
- 21:30Speaker 2: neck and they'll crack their bones and they'll light them
- 21:32Speaker 2: down on the table and they'll do like a cactus
- 21:34Speaker 2: jack elbow drop into their spink and the people are
- 21:38Speaker 2: like cured. Yeah, And for the for the purposes of
- 21:41Speaker 2: this video, they're grand. They're like that that seems fine.
- 21:45Speaker 1: It all seems they all literally ship themselves at a
- 21:48Speaker 1: certain point. Like there's another face like he had exhibit
- 21:50Speaker 1: in there, this American guy. And this guy's whole thing
- 21:53Speaker 1: is he's got it down to a fine art. You know,
- 21:55Speaker 1: he's talking about you know, you still doing music and stuff,
- 21:57Speaker 1: and he's like then he he just leaves him lying
- 22:04Speaker 1: there and he walks off like he just he just
- 22:06Speaker 1: dropped a three pointer fucking from the other endcore in line,
- 22:09Speaker 1: like and he walks off and enjoy your wrist, Like
- 22:13Speaker 1: what the fuck? But I like it's manipulation for sure.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Away from like, let's not get away from it. Nobody's
- 22:23Speaker 1: really like physios can work over time to move a
- 22:28Speaker 1: bone that has been displaced back into the base is
- 22:31Speaker 1: supposed to be, but it's not like you know, sometimes
- 22:35Speaker 1: like a wall of lego can get a bit loose
- 22:38Speaker 1: and you can start see openings in it, and you give.
- 22:40Speaker 2: That a from the top.
- 22:43Speaker 1: That's not really how we work. We're much more gelatinous
- 22:46Speaker 1: than that. There's if that's how we work, we would
- 22:48Speaker 1: fall apart walking down the fucking road. Everything is actually
- 22:52Speaker 1: the real stuff that's working hard is the connective tissues
- 22:55Speaker 1: in between all of our giants.
- 22:57Speaker 2: There, the jelly between our downuts exactly.
- 23:00Speaker 1: So when you're getting all these lads coming in and
- 23:02Speaker 1: normally what it is is something is hitting on a nerve. Yes,
- 23:06Speaker 1: they'll say, like a slip, discint popping, No fucking disc
- 23:09Speaker 1: like the disc, You're fucking dead. If your disc is
- 23:12Speaker 1: popped out like that is ripped, Let's rip your spinal
- 23:15Speaker 1: cord straight out like what it is is that synovial
- 23:18Speaker 1: fluid has just like you just said, the gems.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Has been squeezed out. I remember pushing against.
- 23:25Speaker 1: The nerve and all they're doing is working it off
- 23:29Speaker 1: and the popp out of things. I'm sure there is
- 23:31Speaker 1: some relief. If there's air tension built up in joints,
- 23:33Speaker 1: I'm sure there is relief of that.
- 23:36Speaker 2: But all told, people.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Are walking out, I think we're a bit more of
- 23:40Speaker 1: a psychological pep in their fucking step.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Then. You know, sometimes there's that as well, Tom. I mean,
- 23:46Speaker 2: we've all been to some form of physiotherapy down through
- 23:49Speaker 2: the years, and Christ knows I could use a little more.
- 23:52Speaker 2: I'm a lazy man and I'm a child of the
- 23:54Speaker 2: McDonald's generation. I don't want you to hand me a
- 23:58Speaker 2: sheet with exercises on a and tell me do that
- 24:01Speaker 2: for twelve weeks every day, three times a day, and
- 24:04Speaker 2: do stretches in the morning. Ye, and limber up and
- 24:08Speaker 2: make sure I want to go in and you go,
- 24:09Speaker 2: hang on a second, there you go. You're right as ninepence,
- 24:12Speaker 2: and you're right. I want it to be instant. I've
- 24:15Speaker 2: also said, you tell them like, the one thing I
- 24:17Speaker 2: want more than it and els is I don't need
- 24:19Speaker 2: a twelve week program of exercises. I need to be
- 24:22Speaker 2: assaulted in a very specific way. Yeah. No, I need
- 24:25Speaker 2: to fall downstairs just right, one hundred percent.
- 24:29Speaker 1: And there's that. It's almost like a cartoon effect. Well,
- 24:32Speaker 1: that is right, it'd be no end because you do
- 24:34Speaker 1: like to think of your body as a you know,
- 24:36Speaker 1: a stack of bricks and lego bricks or whatever. You
- 24:39Speaker 1: like to think of it as off of just tighten
- 24:42Speaker 1: up this bolt and tighten It's unfortunately not that way. Now.
- 24:46Speaker 1: There is a bit of I won't say there is
- 24:49Speaker 1: a bit of magic in it in that.
- 24:51Speaker 2: In those magic hands.
- 24:52Speaker 1: If if you've left the thing go for a good
- 24:55Speaker 1: long while and you're just fucking you know what I mean,
- 24:58Speaker 1: you're just white knuckling through the pain. What you can
- 25:00Speaker 1: find is that you have a novel like twisted muscle. Yes,
- 25:04Speaker 1: that has noted up it, and now magic hands will
- 25:07Speaker 1: break that down and softened that out because it's like
- 25:10Speaker 1: tendrizing steak with a hammer. It will soften out with
- 25:13Speaker 1: enough pushing and dragon like. But there's notion that there
- 25:18Speaker 1: are actually hammering joints back into sockets unless it literally
- 25:22Speaker 1: came in dislocated. That's it's not physically possible. I've seen
- 25:27Speaker 1: what giints looked like without the skin, do you know
- 25:31Speaker 1: what I mean? From the butchering side of things.
- 25:33Speaker 2: You get a very very and it's not on humans, Tom,
- 25:36Speaker 2: We must not on humans.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Not on humans.
- 25:38Speaker 2: But that we're saying here anyway, well yeah, okay, okay,
- 25:43Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
- 25:44Speaker 1: But from experts who have told me that it's enough,
- 25:48Speaker 1: it's mostly going to be a muscular issue. Like to
- 25:52Speaker 1: tell you that I feel that they're not it's your
- 25:54Speaker 1: c five is this that would you? And all in
- 26:00Speaker 1: all right, Magic Jimmy Hens, Jimmy mad Hens. Great, he's
- 26:06Speaker 1: certain people out. They are coming in there fucking buckled
- 26:08Speaker 1: and they're walking back out the door. And I myself
- 26:12Speaker 1: slipped in inverted comments. Two fucking discs, and I've told
- 26:15Speaker 1: you about this jumping off a fucking cattle truck after
- 26:18Speaker 1: closing up the gates of it, sending off heap of
- 26:20Speaker 1: cattle or pigs, I can't remember what it was. Pigs
- 26:22Speaker 1: actually jumped off from whatever it is the six foot height,
- 26:26Speaker 1: landed like a prick and two bits of Snowville fluid.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Couldn't walk. Went to a man who's his son has
- 26:34Speaker 1: now done it, but he's famous over by Coolmore stud
- 26:37Speaker 1: and he told me what was happening, because as a
- 26:40Speaker 1: family were now My father first brought me to a
- 26:43Speaker 1: guy who had this fucking method of like seeing how
- 26:48Speaker 1: will tune your back was by running like a wire
- 26:51Speaker 1: if you imagine a piece of bull down along your
- 26:54Speaker 1: back to see where the deans and outs were. And
- 26:58Speaker 1: halfway through this shit, even at like sixteen, a thirty
- 27:01Speaker 1: old man, I'm like, we're fucking done here, let's pay
- 27:05Speaker 1: the man. And but that guy he manipulated this an
- 27:10Speaker 1: ovial fluid off and he says, Look, you're young, it'll
- 27:14Speaker 1: you know, you'll redrow your full testats wrong, it'll redroad.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Be fine. Just don't do any of that fucking shit.
- 27:21Speaker 1: To stop playing sports, stop doing jumping off things for
- 27:23Speaker 1: the next six weeks minimum. To let it heal and
- 27:26Speaker 1: let yourself build back up again, because it's gonna you
- 27:29Speaker 1: bruised in there too.
- 27:30Speaker 2: So I can promise you that you you put a
- 27:32Speaker 2: man bruise on the inside.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was that. But he told me the truth.
- 27:36Speaker 1: He was like they no, you know, he had to
- 27:39Speaker 1: bend my leg one way, all right, and bend this
- 27:42Speaker 1: this way to open up a place that he could
- 27:44Speaker 1: fucking work this away. You know they're gonna wait. He
- 27:46Speaker 1: was explaining exactly what it was. And this guy was
- 27:49Speaker 1: known as a bone setter a bone again, but he
- 27:53Speaker 1: never called himself a medical I just learned this from
- 27:55Speaker 1: being able to start out horses. I could start horses.
- 28:00Speaker 2: That was it. Well, you know what I'm going to
- 28:02Speaker 2: tell you Tom now and Magic has Jimmy is his
- 28:06Speaker 2: customer flow is not going to be effected one way
- 28:08Speaker 2: or another by the listenership of the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 28:11Speaker 2: I can tell you that much because this man's doing
- 28:13Speaker 2: tens of thousands of avid potential customers on his live
- 28:20Speaker 2: streams and all this kind of thing. He's making a
- 28:22Speaker 2: good content meta. And I will say this, okay, whether
- 28:25Speaker 2: his whether his methods, you know, stand up to medical practice,
- 28:30Speaker 2: I guess the man's cleared in some degree or another,
- 28:34Speaker 2: and a lot of it looks like it would be
- 28:36Speaker 2: very helpful. Sometimes when he goes like you can see
- 28:38Speaker 2: the people, the relief and the whole lot, and he
- 28:40Speaker 2: does this other ship where he puts a towler around
- 28:41Speaker 2: your neck and pulls your head up, and I'm like, fucking,
- 28:45Speaker 2: that's that's what fucking you know you're not going to
- 28:48Speaker 2: fucking Crisp and Wami. No, You're all right, you've seen that?
- 28:53Speaker 2: Do that ship?
- 28:53Speaker 1: Like, tell me now, like what is pressing on what?
- 28:58Speaker 1: Like when somebody gets a hump on every like you
- 29:01Speaker 1: ain't you ain't just gonna like it isn't like a
- 29:05Speaker 1: fucking bag of sticks. We can just pull it straight
- 29:07Speaker 1: out and now it's straight that has formed over time.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Most of these things like now listen, I would love
- 29:15Speaker 1: to be somebody challenge me and correct me and tell me, no,
- 29:19Speaker 1: here is the the the human fucking form. This is
- 29:24Speaker 1: how it works, and Tom, you're a million miles wrong.
- 29:26Speaker 1: I'd love for but everywhere I've looked or talked to
- 29:30Speaker 1: it does seem a bit woo woo wish. No, and
- 29:33Speaker 1: not for nothing.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Tom. Now we're Irish, so we've grown up in the
- 29:36Speaker 2: land of cures and one thing and another, so we're
- 29:38Speaker 2: not It's not like we've never gone woo before.
- 29:41Speaker 1: I'm very lucky that that guy that bones that a
- 29:43Speaker 1: guy told it the truth that day. He wasn't trying
- 29:46Speaker 1: to tell me that that yeah, or that my discs
- 29:50Speaker 1: were actually out, like and I'm gonna have but these
- 29:54Speaker 1: people getting their next cracked by somebody pulling on pulling
- 29:56Speaker 1: on him like have you seen the guy? Have you
- 29:58Speaker 1: seen the one where the guy that to fucking drop
- 30:02Speaker 1: in a device.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not doing any of that shit.
- 30:04Speaker 1: And then he winds you up real quick because people
- 30:06Speaker 1: are now choking and fucking almost die because he lets
- 30:09Speaker 1: you drop. And that's gonna put Oh, it's open up
- 30:12Speaker 1: all sorts of fucking yeah, lopening up all sorts of lawsuits.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Like I get it, I get it, but really you
- 30:18Speaker 1: need to be limbering people up. I'll just be walking
- 30:20Speaker 1: coman in the door there now, and we're just gonna,
- 30:23Speaker 1: oh what lovely it is given relief. But I would
- 30:26Speaker 1: say him more muscular in the short term than anything else.
- 30:29Speaker 1: If a guy, if it was working in you for
- 30:31Speaker 1: six sessions, I'd buy it. But coming in the fucking
- 30:34Speaker 1: door dropping one hundred quint at the pot on the
- 30:36Speaker 1: way in click click click, click, click click, and how
- 30:38Speaker 1: to go back into your fucking four desk cart and
- 30:40Speaker 1: up the road.
- 30:41Speaker 2: JA. What I will say on listen, we'll get off
- 30:44Speaker 2: the subject, but we will say for Magic Hands Jimmy,
- 30:47Speaker 2: whether you are in the greater Blanchardstown area and need
- 30:52Speaker 2: spinal realignment or whatever it is or not, what we
- 30:55Speaker 2: will say for the man is it's excellent content. Because
- 30:58Speaker 2: Magic Hands Jimmy is nothing if not great crack. I
- 31:01Speaker 2: don't mean that, no pun intended. He's great crack. He
- 31:04Speaker 2: just seems to be a real gentleman. He come in
- 31:06Speaker 2: and he's got his little catch phrases as well. With
- 31:08Speaker 2: catch phrases, there you go, and he just like pull
- 31:11Speaker 2: your shoulder out of the song, like there you go,
- 31:14Speaker 2: big one coming up here. Now there you go.
- 31:16Speaker 1: There's a there's a Scottish guy doing it as well now,
- 31:18Speaker 1: but he swears, cursing and everything is like, all right,
- 31:21Speaker 1: so what the fuck have you done? Your absolutely fucking
- 31:24Speaker 1: ball bag. I was like, oh, I don't know me, Jimmy,
- 31:28Speaker 1: I was fucking and it's very but I do, like
- 31:31Speaker 1: I can watch that all day. And then one thing
- 31:33Speaker 1: I would give Jimmy Jimmy smart hans, Jimmy fast hands.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Is magic hands. Jimmy put some respect on the.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Title magic Jimmy hens.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with my hands right now, dude.
- 31:48Speaker 1: One thing I would give him, Okay, he's getting people
- 31:51Speaker 1: right and and whatever, but he's not like you showed
- 31:55Speaker 1: me the thing before. And I know we talked about
- 31:57Speaker 1: this before and this is not I don't but he's
- 32:00Speaker 1: not pulling out the hammer and chisel. That's I know
- 32:03Speaker 1: we talked about it before. Ah fuck off, Like it's like, oh,
- 32:07Speaker 1: I'll just I'll just hammer on you here now, like
- 32:09Speaker 1: that's he's not doing that, but I will say there,
- 32:14Speaker 1: Jimmy is one of the most palatable felons to watch
- 32:16Speaker 1: because he himself is a bit of crack and I always,
- 32:19Speaker 1: even honestly, even if no matter what he was doing
- 32:22Speaker 1: because he's doing, he's in, he's his Eastern European follow
- 32:27Speaker 1: half a doublin accent. It cracks me up. I can't
- 32:30Speaker 1: get enough of this stuff like.
- 32:31Speaker 2: It cracks us up. But we will not be going
- 32:33Speaker 2: to him to get cracked up, folks. We are gonna
- 32:36Speaker 2: rock and roll with the end of the show here
- 32:39Speaker 2: because we might be in need of a magic hands
- 32:42Speaker 2: Jimmy sooner than we wouldn't be, Tom because it's not
- 32:44Speaker 2: younger we're getting. We ain't old. But I'm telling you
- 32:48Speaker 2: a lot of these a lot of these parts are
- 32:49Speaker 2: obsolete and in need of repair. We look back on
- 32:53Speaker 2: fonder days, Tom over our combined ninety odd years on
- 32:57Speaker 2: this fucking rock and all the things that we have
- 33:00Speaker 2: seen as we passed from the eighties, nineties, early two
- 33:03Speaker 2: thousands to today. In the final segment of the show
- 33:06Speaker 2: that we call we remember when.
- 33:11Speaker 1: It's been a summer chair, it has been a summer
- 33:13Speaker 1: and a summer we're we suppose we could take they
- 33:17Speaker 1: solace it. They probably have it a bit bit easier,
- 33:20Speaker 1: but these days, don't they.
- 33:23Speaker 2: We were caught rotten. I was caught rotten. My wife
- 33:27Speaker 2: is a very well prepared woman, but I was caught
- 33:29Speaker 2: rotten Tom to learn that there's only two weeks left
- 33:31Speaker 2: until the kids go back to school. I was like,
- 33:33Speaker 2: what in the yeah? I did not see that coming, Kim.
- 33:37Speaker 2: It went as fast for me as it did for them.
- 33:40Speaker 2: And as the summer draws to a close, Tom and
- 33:42Speaker 2: the kids get ready to go back to school, we said,
- 33:45Speaker 2: for we remember when we'd take a little look back
- 33:48Speaker 2: at the at the big old summers we used to
- 33:51Speaker 2: enjoy and how they might have changed from today. Case
- 33:54Speaker 2: number one, Tom, I don't remember going to any fuck
- 33:56Speaker 2: in summer camps when I was wee.
- 33:58Speaker 1: There was summer camps for things for an murricans where
- 34:00Speaker 1: they go to camp cha, you know, and and and
- 34:03Speaker 1: be left off into the wilderness and whatnot. But we
- 34:07Speaker 1: were there was there was one and I'm not fully
- 34:09Speaker 1: sure what was going on. I think it was gas.
- 34:12Speaker 1: It was it was it was called Camp Tipperary, and
- 34:15Speaker 1: obviously it was interpert down but it was. I just
- 34:20Speaker 1: remember a lot of orienteering.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Right, and orienteering was big way. I don't know if
- 34:26Speaker 2: anybody goes orienteering anymore, folks, let us know in the
- 34:29Speaker 2: comments if you know what orienteering is. But back before
- 34:32Speaker 2: you had a GPS on your phone that could tell
- 34:35Speaker 2: you exactly where it was on God's Green Earth at
- 34:38Speaker 2: any given time. You had to know that ship for yourself.
- 34:41Speaker 2: So they put you up on the side of a
- 34:42Speaker 2: mountain with a map and accompass and the best of luck.
- 34:45Speaker 2: That was it.
- 34:46Speaker 1: And this is around. But it was like fun ones
- 34:48Speaker 1: And I remember the overriding memory of the five days
- 34:52Speaker 1: going to the four days going to this thing was
- 34:55Speaker 1: lots of chicken eat crisps.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Remember chickt e is You still get them bout the
- 35:00Speaker 2: the fuck like everything else. Of course, of course that's
- 35:03Speaker 2: the humor I'm in this, even Tom. Chickens are gone
- 35:06Speaker 2: to like everything else, scratch scratch.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Everything chicken as we remember when. But I remember enough
- 35:13Speaker 1: of them. But there was there wasn't a no awful
- 35:15Speaker 1: lot to it. She wasn't wasn't a uniform being sent
- 35:19Speaker 1: out to you and you know, and the backpack and
- 35:23Speaker 1: and all the rest of it.
- 35:24Speaker 2: And what I want to say it is now, Tom,
- 35:25Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, progress is a strange thing.
- 35:28Speaker 2: The reason why there was no camps back in the day.
- 35:32Speaker 2: In the vast majority of households, one of one or
- 35:35Speaker 2: more of your parents was at home all the time,
- 35:38Speaker 2: not for nothing. Usually your mom would be at home
- 35:40Speaker 2: and they did not need to find somewhere to send
- 35:42Speaker 2: you for eight hours of a day. Will they went
- 35:45Speaker 2: to work, which which really is a lot of the
- 35:47Speaker 2: camps these days are kind of you know, sort of yeah,
- 35:51Speaker 2: they talk a good game, but really it's childcare.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Kind yeah that is, that is the reality of it.
- 35:57Speaker 2: But you know, there was so I got to tell you,
- 35:59Speaker 2: I don't know how what kind of childcare it is.
- 36:01Speaker 2: When it's like, oh, yeah, drop your kid off a
- 36:03Speaker 2: quarter past ten and pick them up five past two.
- 36:06Speaker 2: It's like, no, son, the bitch, that's worse than school.
- 36:09Speaker 2: I don't even get a good run at the day.
- 36:11Speaker 2: If there's giving me more shit.
- 36:12Speaker 1: To do, let him to some sixteen year old who's
- 36:15Speaker 1: just going to just have dance offs with him.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Yeah, old on.
- 36:19Speaker 1: This must be a sporting camp.
- 36:21Speaker 2: But anyway, so we didn't we didn't have that back
- 36:24Speaker 2: in the day. What we did have was football. So
- 36:27Speaker 2: that was your cool camp, Tom.
- 36:29Speaker 1: There was a novel of football played we had. We
- 36:33Speaker 1: made an inordinate amount of swings.
- 36:37Speaker 2: I couldn't be kept from making swings.
- 36:40Speaker 1: It was an inordinate amount If there was a bit
- 36:43Speaker 1: of four but two or attire left anywhere, and you're
- 36:47Speaker 1: in like I could put. I could reach outside that
- 36:49Speaker 1: window there and find you to under for the rope.
- 36:51Speaker 1: I have carried on the tradition of my family. For
- 36:56Speaker 1: some reason, we're not fisher people living inland for some reason.
- 37:00Speaker 1: No end the rope around here, no end of it.
- 37:03Speaker 1: But I remember there was an norcious amount of whatever
- 37:07Speaker 1: you could lay your hands on to make some sort
- 37:10Speaker 1: of moving object. And this is obviously the summertime. So
- 37:13Speaker 1: the old if I bags and the and the snow
- 37:16Speaker 1: didn't kick in, but this was anything you could do
- 37:19Speaker 1: if it was going to be slightly dangerous at all.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Now we did.
- 37:22Speaker 1: We were quite good at making We used to call
- 37:27Speaker 1: them cabby houses. I don't know why we call them
- 37:29Speaker 1: cabby houses. Some people called them cubby houses. I suppose
- 37:33Speaker 1: a then a then, But we were quite good at
- 37:36Speaker 1: them in that we were able to get there were
- 37:39Speaker 1: machine There was a lot. There's a lot of factories
- 37:41Speaker 1: he here, so different different fathers would bring home, Like
- 37:45Speaker 1: you know, it would have been a four by eight
- 37:48Speaker 1: or eight by four bucks would be tin timber, yeah,
- 37:52Speaker 1: and you could just tack that on and feel like
- 37:54Speaker 1: you are Christopher Robin on to the side of a
- 37:56Speaker 1: tree and you've made a tree house.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Now you've made a treehouse.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and you feel amazing for art, like and you
- 38:01Speaker 1: you know, you get some you know that is straight
- 38:03Speaker 1: out because you wouldn't go into the hardware for you,
- 38:05Speaker 1: he'd straight out if you own nails three and you
- 38:07Speaker 1: could work away yourself.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Like, yes, you would do it yourself. I mean like,
- 38:11Speaker 2: here are all the skills Tom that we would have
- 38:14Speaker 2: just lying around the place in the method to amuse ourselves. Ah.
- 38:20Speaker 2: And today it's like, well, your kid can come to
- 38:22Speaker 2: an arts and crafts thing and they can make three
- 38:26Speaker 2: houses and all that kind of crack while you pay
- 38:30Speaker 2: us by the day.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Yeah you know christ right, Okay, fair enough, that's what
- 38:35Speaker 1: we're doing. This is not getting away from There's probably
- 38:39Speaker 1: going to be a lot of people listening as youngsters
- 38:41Speaker 1: going fucking well for are you econs? We were thrown
- 38:44Speaker 1: up in a fucking digger or a tractor you know whatever, and.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah that was the other thing you did
- 38:49Speaker 2: as a kid. You went to work with your dad
- 38:52Speaker 2: or you know, if you had a job, maybe you
- 38:54Speaker 2: could go work buying large if you work on a
- 38:57Speaker 2: building side and like that work cl she's what can
- 38:59Speaker 2: we tell you? You know? Like it said, a lot
- 39:01Speaker 2: of dazz working on a lot of building sites. There
- 39:02Speaker 2: was a lot of bring your kid to playing a
- 39:06Speaker 2: JCB for fucking eight hours a day. To be fair,
- 39:09Speaker 2: there are.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Worse places for you to be. I try being on
- 39:12Speaker 1: top of a fucking heap of bales, you know, three weeks.
- 39:15Speaker 2: On the row. I gotta tell you, Tom, I gotta
- 39:18Speaker 2: tell you I spent my time on bails, and I
- 39:21Speaker 2: have fond memories of bales and barley.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we like it never really got that boring. I
- 39:28Speaker 1: mean you, the fucking hands will be good like this is.
- 39:30Speaker 1: This is how we remember when I remember being able
- 39:33Speaker 1: to watching American Telly right, and to be cowboys and
- 39:36Speaker 1: whatever farm hands in this and they always had like
- 39:41Speaker 1: yellow leather gloves or brown leather gloves for doing all
- 39:46Speaker 1: sorts of work around the farm. And I could never
- 39:49Speaker 1: take America seriously on that basis of that, because a
- 39:53Speaker 1: safety glove or a workman's glove never came around this
- 39:57Speaker 1: place till i'd say the mid to late I'd say
- 40:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty, maybe twenty fifteen, who's the first.
- 40:05Speaker 2: This is this has to be an oman eating that
- 40:08Speaker 2: you have carried forward to the day that you cannot
- 40:11Speaker 2: possibly be in any method. Say, if you're telling me
- 40:14Speaker 2: that your dad didn't even have like a pair of
- 40:15Speaker 2: canvas gloves, No, are you serious? Even my dad canvas clubs,
- 40:20Speaker 2: I sink they probably they're probably still up on the shelf.
- 40:24Speaker 1: It would just I don't know what, but it was.
- 40:27Speaker 1: It wasn't just him like when you go like when
- 40:30Speaker 1: i'd see I remember seeing these farmers and some show
- 40:34Speaker 1: like you know, Dallas or something, and they were they
- 40:37Speaker 1: were scooping up bales like square bails like we have here,
- 40:39Speaker 1: you know, the old school, smaller square baiels. But they
- 40:42Speaker 1: had like a meathook, a long meathook off the back.
- 40:45Speaker 1: And I'm a that's a good idea now you're talking,
- 40:47Speaker 1: but it's still At the same time, the lads were.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Wearing gloves, the rigor gloves. Yeah, And I'm going, fuck,
- 40:54Speaker 2: are fannies.
- 40:57Speaker 1: At eight years of age we're stacking bales.
- 41:00Speaker 2: The hands what I mean caught I remember coming like
- 41:04Speaker 2: you know, you were asked on occasion to lift a
- 41:08Speaker 2: bail by the twine, like the twin.
- 41:11Speaker 1: And by the twine, and it's like.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Like piano wire, piano wire through a child's hands. Ah yeah,
- 41:18Speaker 2: But like it's only the first twenty of them that
- 41:20Speaker 2: I'd worry you. The rest of them there you'll come
- 41:22Speaker 2: to her. Yeah yeah, yeah, pain, but you do.
- 41:25Speaker 1: You just overcome the pain after a.
- 41:26Speaker 2: While, like I didn't. But I fucking hated every second
- 41:28Speaker 2: of it, Like you know, So like I say, run
- 41:30Speaker 2: about those times. If someone was to come along to me, goes, well,
- 41:33Speaker 2: instead of doing this, would you like to go to
- 41:35Speaker 2: science camp for a week?
- 41:37Speaker 1: And I'll be like, fuck yes, please, absolutely shit about science.
- 41:41Speaker 2: Whatever the hell it might be. Do you want to go?
- 41:43Speaker 2: Do you want to go and do dancing for a week?
- 41:45Speaker 2: Would fucking love that?
- 41:47Speaker 1: I had one summer off, right, I'd won I'd say
- 41:50Speaker 1: summer off at a month of the summer off. And
- 41:53Speaker 1: I must have been it must have been second year
- 41:58Speaker 1: at a month off, because I won a scholarship to
- 42:00Speaker 1: the gil doct right, And I remember thinking, one, I'm
- 42:04Speaker 1: not making a fucking being here, but anyway, number two,
- 42:07Speaker 1: I'm actually not working, so that's pretty cool. And I
- 42:10Speaker 1: was there one day and I fucking hated it. I
- 42:15Speaker 1: hated it there was. It was miserable. I just had
- 42:19Speaker 1: no purpose there.
- 42:20Speaker 2: You're not that kind of way, and we've we've talked
- 42:22Speaker 2: about the girls before. I tell you, not for everybody,
- 42:25Speaker 2: so it's not.
- 42:26Speaker 1: But within by one day suddenly it was great experience.
- 42:33Speaker 1: That's the rule of home, like for one day, but I.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Had that experience for the first week, I was like,
- 42:37Speaker 2: I can't wait to get the fuck home out of here.
- 42:39Speaker 2: In the second week was like, I'm actually, I'm actually
- 42:40Speaker 2: gonna walk from Doney Call to characif it comes to it.
- 42:42Speaker 2: And then the third week I was like, you couldn't
- 42:44Speaker 2: drag me out of this place?
- 42:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but it was it was
- 42:48Speaker 1: getting away for a month. I'm ever thinking this is
- 42:50Speaker 1: the fucking Beasnys. But it would not. There was not
- 42:53Speaker 1: an option far it to happen because as my mother,
- 42:57Speaker 1: especially when we came to working age and there was
- 42:59Speaker 1: jobs around the area where you could go working with
- 43:02Speaker 1: a fella, I am like, she wasn't going to have
- 43:06Speaker 1: another thirteen year old kicking dust around the fucking house.
- 43:09Speaker 1: She just wasn't like she's stuffed, we don't. And there
- 43:12Speaker 1: was only so many stones that had been or could
- 43:15Speaker 1: be picked in the fucking backfield. They were all picked
- 43:18Speaker 1: at that stage.
- 43:19Speaker 2: You know, you're you're you're triggering a lot of the
- 43:21Speaker 2: listeners here, Tom, when you're talking about picking stones, we're
- 43:24Speaker 2: going to say picking stones for another episode.
- 43:26Speaker 1: The whole episode of picking stones.
- 43:28Speaker 2: We had a whole episode of picking stones. And we'll
- 43:30Speaker 2: stay we stay to the young ones, and now we'll
- 43:32Speaker 2: stay ten and under Tom, the younger people here. We
- 43:36Speaker 2: want to do what we want to do for our
- 43:37Speaker 2: young listeners, our very young listeners, our ten year old
- 43:39Speaker 2: listeners or I'm sure, like you know, we were like
- 43:43Speaker 2: the Tom and Jerry Show is like euro trash, you
- 43:45Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's the it's the it's the
- 43:47Speaker 2: show that all the kids are listening to in secret.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh, we sneak up and listen to the
- 43:52Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry shoulder So fucking cool. So for the
- 43:55Speaker 2: for all you ten year olds out here, what me
- 43:57Speaker 2: and Tom want to do for a finish to this
- 43:59Speaker 2: bit is give you a little advice as to what
- 44:02Speaker 2: you can do with the last two weeks of your summer.
- 44:04Speaker 2: So if you've been putting camps the whole time, or
- 44:09Speaker 2: you've been on your tablet the whole time. Wake up, kids,
- 44:12Speaker 2: we've got two weeks left before you go back to school.
- 44:15Speaker 2: So here's what we think you should do with your time.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Because I remember, Tom, I don't remember much, but I remember,
- 44:20Speaker 2: like when you're small, when you're small, small, when you're
- 44:23Speaker 2: that small small, there's two times a year that Christmas
- 44:26Speaker 2: under Summer. Everything else kind of is just kind of
- 44:29Speaker 2: school and kind of blends in together. And you know,
- 44:33Speaker 2: for all the fuck you'll give about Sir Patrick's day
- 44:34Speaker 2: at that age, but summer that's a big thing. I
- 44:38Speaker 2: remember the summers, and I remember the Christmases summer. Here's
- 44:42Speaker 2: my advice, and then you can give yours.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Tom.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Kids, climb a tree. Climb a fucking tree. Go find
- 44:48Speaker 2: a tree and climb up into it. What will we
- 44:50Speaker 2: do when we get up there? You will be in
- 44:51Speaker 2: the tree. And how long will we stay up there?
- 44:53Speaker 2: As long as you fucking want? And what do we
- 44:55Speaker 2: do when we want to get down? You get done?
- 44:57Speaker 2: That's what it is to climb a tree. Yeah, I
- 45:01Speaker 2: do not see kids climbing trees there.
- 45:04Speaker 1: There's there's it's a huge thing apparently in and I
- 45:10Speaker 1: think we talked about it before, but it's a huge
- 45:13Speaker 1: thing in in whether it's dance or sport or whatever
- 45:18Speaker 1: that they're seeing nowadays, is that kids have no tactile strength.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Do you know where they're Like, you get that young
- 45:26Speaker 1: because you're the perfect balance at that age, do you
- 45:29Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like you're all your joints work lovely.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Like I said, I looked in I closed in himself's
- 45:35Speaker 1: door whatever hits one over and he was sleeping the
- 45:37Speaker 1: other night. I remember saying to herself. His arm was
- 45:40Speaker 1: cranked way up over his head, fucking lip, you know,
- 45:44Speaker 1: fucking hips, twisted leg half up the wall. I mean
- 45:47Speaker 1: if I slept like that for thirty fucking seconds.
- 45:51Speaker 2: Yeah, magics, Jimmy.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I've been with magic hands, Jimmy. Like you're so pliable
- 45:58Speaker 1: at that age, Like you're just the tray.
- 46:00Speaker 2: If you fold your guess what.
- 46:02Speaker 1: You're probably going to be grand. Yeah, you're probably going
- 46:05Speaker 1: to be grand.
- 46:05Speaker 2: There's the lawsuits are going to come at us on
- 46:07Speaker 2: that one. Like you know, I know a lot of
- 46:09Speaker 2: people might fall distances and not do all that well
- 46:11Speaker 2: out of it. So like, you know, climb to your
- 46:13Speaker 2: comfort level, you know what I mean? I had Actually
- 46:15Speaker 2: I had occasion Tom in the last couple of weeks
- 46:18Speaker 2: to climb a tree. Yeah, yes it did. There was
- 46:21Speaker 2: the kids were playing out the front here. They put
- 46:24Speaker 2: a ball up into into one of the trees here,
- 46:27Speaker 2: and now it was way up here. But we got
- 46:29Speaker 2: the ladder out and I climbed the ladder, and as
- 46:31Speaker 2: high as the ladder would go, it just wouldn't get
- 46:33Speaker 2: up to where this fucking ball was. And I said,
- 46:36Speaker 2: I can get it if I leave the safety of
- 46:38Speaker 2: the ladder and go into the tree and climb up
- 46:41Speaker 2: three or four more branches. Yeah, and I can tap
- 46:44Speaker 2: this ball down. And I was like, like, I'm up.
- 46:47Speaker 2: I'm up the height of the ladder. Yeah, I'm up
- 46:49Speaker 2: like twenty foot and I want to go up another
- 46:51Speaker 2: six So I'm not you know, this is higher in
- 46:55Speaker 2: a tree than I've been in sometime. Yeah, I'm like,
- 46:57Speaker 2: this is a fucking foolish way to die. He McBride
- 47:00Speaker 2: falling out of a tree to old way to go.
- 47:03Speaker 2: But do you know what I did, Tom, I fucking
- 47:05Speaker 2: went up off of that ball. And as you get
- 47:07Speaker 2: into it, it all comes back to you, like where
- 47:08Speaker 2: you put your feet, where you put your weight. I
- 47:11Speaker 2: know not to go to that branch. I know I
- 47:13Speaker 2: can pull out of that and tap the ball.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Now the ball was bussed.
- 47:16Speaker 2: It must be said. It was wasting time going up
- 47:18Speaker 2: for not till but I got that fucking thing down.
- 47:21Speaker 2: And then I very very gingerly inched my way back
- 47:23Speaker 2: down to the ladder and got on it. And I
- 47:24Speaker 2: went back in and said, of hail Mary for not
- 47:26Speaker 2: being so fucking stupid. Ah, So there you go. It
- 47:29Speaker 2: sticks with you for life. I'm looking for more trees
- 47:32Speaker 2: to climb. Maybe after this episode.
- 47:34Speaker 1: I will do. You know what, I bet you you
- 47:37Speaker 1: said you went in for hail Mary. I bet you
- 47:39Speaker 1: when you when you got back onto that ladder, you're
- 47:41Speaker 1: back down and along whatever about safety levels and everything else.
- 47:45Speaker 1: There was a a level of badass in your mind.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And I was like, kids, you kick a
- 47:48Speaker 2: ball see that tree? Anytime you feel like I'll get
- 47:50Speaker 2: it out, I'll get that ball down.
- 47:52Speaker 1: But can your dad do that? Can you? You know
- 47:54Speaker 1: what I mean? There's that element of.
- 47:56Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know, Tom, what would you what would
- 47:59Speaker 2: you tell these kids to do in the two weeks
- 48:01Speaker 2: they have remaining for themselves? And hey, I gotta tell you.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Work through The Spaghetti Western trilogy is a perfectly acceptable answer.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Here, get jacked, kids, Get on the creatine, get as
- 48:13Speaker 1: much gear into you right now. You're that, you've done.
- 48:15Speaker 2: You're not gonna get no games when you cross forty
- 48:17Speaker 2: kids grow.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Your grown jeans are absolutely buzzing out the top of
- 48:22Speaker 1: your head. Right now, get fucking jacked, my big, big thing.
- 48:27Speaker 1: And I've started to take to it now from watching
- 48:31Speaker 1: the kid and the other kids and they're doing it.
- 48:35Speaker 1: And I say this because society, man will press you down, man,
- 48:40Speaker 1: And this is true, right even though it sounds a
- 48:41Speaker 1: bit fucking woo with the way I'm saying it, Get
- 48:45Speaker 1: out of your shoes and socks, and they might getting
- 48:47Speaker 1: a feet a bit fucking dirty around the yard, even.
- 48:50Speaker 2: This of like you know, no, don't, don't ground yourself. No, well,
- 48:56Speaker 2: let's know what we're doing.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Here, because for now, if you'll be two, in the
- 49:00Speaker 1: age of fucking four and eleven, now is your opportunity
- 49:06Speaker 1: to go barefoot for as long as you possibly can,
- 49:08Speaker 1: because after that people are gonna start looking at you
- 49:11Speaker 1: fucking and unfortunately you're gonna get forced into shoes, forced
- 49:14Speaker 1: into socks, and now you and you'll get to a
- 49:16Speaker 1: point like my selling Jerry where our feet are so
- 49:18Speaker 1: fucking scuodgy and soft from being in shoes now for
- 49:20Speaker 1: fucking forty years. Yeah, that's it's almost trying to put
- 49:25Speaker 1: the shite back in the horse. I'm trying to now,
- 49:27Speaker 1: more and more, trying to wit, but I'm still in
- 49:29Speaker 1: bits like our yard has stones in it. Yeah, and
- 49:32Speaker 1: he can fly across it like it's fucking nothing. He's
- 49:34Speaker 1: still got a bit of that babyfait. I'm guessing in it,
- 49:36Speaker 1: but he's so used to it and he enjoys it
- 49:38Speaker 1: so much. And I'm going and even like his grandmother
- 49:42Speaker 1: was kind of going, should put I just know because
- 49:46Speaker 1: very soon there's a day coming where he'll never do
- 49:48Speaker 1: that again. Yeah. So for as long as you can
- 49:51Speaker 1: go barefoot, that's that's a symbol of your childhood.
- 49:55Speaker 2: That's that's some howkfin ship right there.
- 49:58Speaker 1: But isn't it isn't the symbol of your childhood that
- 49:59Speaker 1: you nobody would look like if he walked into the
- 50:03Speaker 1: petrol station after trained in Cleveland did and as did
- 50:06Speaker 1: a couple of lads in their bare feet. Yeah, they're
- 50:09Speaker 1: going across the forecourt, I know, but like, do you know.
- 50:13Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's you don't get to do these
- 50:15Speaker 2: things and.
- 50:16Speaker 1: You look, you'll get arrested, Like if you are that man?
- 50:19Speaker 1: All right, Like has he escaped? We need to call
- 50:22Speaker 1: somebody on does he have a bracelet that we need
- 50:24Speaker 1: to call somebody.
- 50:25Speaker 2: There comes a time pretty quick in life where you
- 50:27Speaker 2: don't get handed three months off, Like what would you do,
- 50:31Speaker 2: tom if someone just turned around your angle? Oh, by
- 50:33Speaker 2: the way, just take the next ten weeks just to
- 50:35Speaker 2: fuck around and do what you want.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Technically paid because nothing changes in your life food and
- 50:41Speaker 1: there's still a wage coming in. I honestly, jar, I
- 50:45Speaker 1: reckon it'd be. It ended up being the greatest country
- 50:47Speaker 1: ever if everybody got it, because the level of chill
- 50:50Speaker 1: and creativity that would go on. I from my point
- 50:53Speaker 1: of view, anyway, Okay, there'd be a point where you
- 50:55Speaker 1: try and button everything down, and I mean I wouldn't.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I would fucking sleep for a while there. I get
- 50:59Speaker 1: some sleep, but I might sleep right now to Yeah,
- 51:03Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? It's it's an adventure
- 51:07Speaker 1: you will never be given again. Like, so I would
- 51:11Speaker 1: take the most of it as you possibly can. Because again, kids,
- 51:16Speaker 1: hit you hit the thirteen fourteen mark, you're going to
- 51:19Speaker 1: be expected to go do a bit, do you know
- 51:21Speaker 1: what I mean. There'll be a shop up the road
- 51:23Speaker 1: that needs a young flus stacking shelves. There's going to
- 51:25Speaker 1: be you know, hairsland that needs a young one swimping
- 51:27Speaker 1: up here. People will be start looking at you now,
- 51:30Speaker 1: the adults are going to start looking at you. Start
- 51:32Speaker 1: going time, start shaping yourself up now and getting ready
- 51:34Speaker 1: for the real world. Because as we both know German,
- 51:37Speaker 1: we saw the lads and the girls that came out
- 51:40Speaker 1: of college or came or out of school or whatever,
- 51:42Speaker 1: and I'd never do and they hadn't a millimeter of
- 51:44Speaker 1: working them Now, poor fuckers couldn't progress, do you know.
- 51:48Speaker 1: They were nearly laughed at by the rest of them
- 51:49Speaker 1: because it just would be tired by you know, half
- 51:52Speaker 1: nine in the morning, like no, no.
- 51:54Speaker 2: No, no, I see it.
- 51:55Speaker 1: I've seen these lads that come, you know, the lads
- 51:58Speaker 1: that are working them, and they've been put to work
- 52:00Speaker 1: from the age of thirteen onwards.
- 52:02Speaker 2: So that's about you. That's where kid, kid time ends.
- 52:05Speaker 1: I think.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually had this conversation as the early man.
- 52:09Speaker 2: Now he's we'll give him at least fifteen or sixteen
- 52:11Speaker 2: we'll just stay legal with it a little bit here.
- 52:15Speaker 2: But he's not that far off at buddy, lot closer
- 52:18Speaker 2: than he used to be. That much.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I can tell you for if he wanted, like if
- 52:21Speaker 1: he and himself said I wanted to make a few pound,
- 52:24Speaker 1: you'd buy him a second hand loanmar. Do you know
- 52:26Speaker 1: what I mean? You go grand job right, you know?
- 52:28Speaker 1: Or something like did you go, right.
- 52:31Speaker 2: Tom, We'll buy one of these robot lawnmowers because you
- 52:33Speaker 2: got Yeah, that's working smart or not harder. Maybe it's true,
- 52:37Speaker 2: but I'm saying, no, make a few pounds off the neighbors.
- 52:39Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 52:41Speaker 2: We take the robot lawn more and let it go.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Let a buzz around there, guardener.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Bring it around on a leash now, but there, you
- 52:47Speaker 1: know what I mean. At the same time, you wouldn't go,
- 52:49Speaker 1: oh no, you're you're too young to react that, you
- 52:51Speaker 1: know what I mean? If you wanted to do a hap,
- 52:53Speaker 1: can hey, can I go see if the neighbors want
- 52:55Speaker 1: to want to their yard power watched and ill and.
