The aqueduct, the roads, kind of the roads, any aqueduct, and
0:10
the penicillin penicillin. Did the fucking Romans invent penicillin? I'm just saying things,
0:20
Jerry. I don't know. Sorry you could have said in there wi
0:23
fi ah, Yes, indeed, sorry, I got caught up in the
0:27
bed there. Tom. I was like, fuck, yeah, penicillin the
0:29
way that was that other heir with the bread. Yeah, we've done it
0:32
again, Tom, we didn't again, wouldn't say what? We didn't say?
0:35
Hello? Is that what you're talking about? Hello? Didn't say who?
0:38
We were just fucking launched in. Do you know what I think at
0:41
this stage, if you've entered the Tom and Jerry Show, the name is
0:44
kind of on the side of the ken, you know what I mean?
0:46
I mean, like, how many people have clicked this by mistake? To
0:48
be honest, to be fair, I was in Gold with the Weekend.
0:53
Three different, completely different people's, different souls love the Tom and Jerry Show
0:59
and they have a king. All three of them had a completely different things.
1:04
One of course was the house one they were after listening to a few
1:07
times. One was the Dolly parton one of course, one was God.
1:15
What was Oh, they did the park one, the crazy park in America
1:19
where everybody was dying and hurting themselves. I thought you were going to say,
1:23
Tom. All three of them had Tom and Jerry tattoos like that would
1:26
have been class. But I introduced a new person because I sat down and
1:32
had a long conversation with two comedians and a director of comedy on the day
1:38
called Lynn who now is a big fan of the show. She's been binging
1:42
it going back to Scotland and Phil Ellis and none other than Milton Jones.
1:48
We talked in depth about fred Dibner and all three of them couldn't wait to
1:52
get on the plane to download and download the two Friend Divna episodes. So
1:57
I can I can imagine they absolutely could not wait to get on the plane
2:00
Tom. But there you go. Well, let's let's throw another episode in
2:05
the pipe for our new fans here and when do we be with Alan Partridge?
2:08
There none of that than my friend Milton jokes. I don't mind.
2:14
I don't drop many names on this podcast, And there you go. I
2:16
dropped the dropped the name of Milton Jones and there might be people gone.
2:20
I have no idea. Guy would standing up here. You see on Mark
2:23
the Week all the time, who does amazing worldliners. They all had to
2:28
get a plane to go somewhere, Tom, which tells me that they may
2:30
not have been native Irish people. So I'm sure they did wonderful things for
2:35
the people of the comedy going audience over here, and that's what they did
2:38
for us. The question of today's podcast, don't you know, Tom,
2:43
is what have the Irish done for everybody else? Exactly what you have the
2:47
Irish done for us? Tom? And this is inspired by a skit that
2:51
you kicked off this very episode with. Well, to be fair, initially
2:53
you you had a good tweak on it because at first I was my phone
2:58
is just blown up of late with the Roman Empire, and I've watched a
3:00
lot of things about the Roman Empire, and I was a big fan of
3:05
Monty Python as a child, and it's there's that famous phrase, all of
3:07
the Romans haven't done for us? You know, they were the judy in
3:10
People's front or the keeper's front of Jude or whatever they were, like,
3:13
well the aqueduct, all right, the aqueduct, but besides the aqueduct,
3:19
and that's what I had my head. But you know what, even in
3:22
my head, I'm thinking it's a been done, isn't it, Bitdney,
3:25
And then you went, how about we do the Irish the Irish Yeah,
3:29
And I was like, yeah, you know what, Well, I'll tell
3:30
you what we'll do. Tom. We might circle back to the Romans and
3:34
give everybody a refresher course and what the Romans actually did for us at the
3:37
end of the episode. But for the body of it, here is what
3:39
we're gonna do. We're gonna tell the fine listeners of Tom and Jerry show
3:44
what the Irish have done for us, because we're a small nation in the
3:47
corner of the world, at the edge of the sea, at the lake
3:52
of the land, at the out there to be dragon, out, there
3:55
be dragons, the dragons right, we're or or or east of fucking Hobbiton.
4:02
When it comes to Europe, it's true. We are. We're that,
4:08
We're that neighbor that calls over every so often, gone, hey time,
4:11
Hey. But you know they're we don't we have We don't live with
4:15
them have we don't live with what we have done. We have done a
4:19
whole lot of inventions, We've brought a whole lot of inventions to the world
4:24
and we the Irish have invented some fucking crazy ship tom that I didn't know
4:29
we invented this, I invented by an Irish guy. Did you're expecting there'd
4:33
be a team here, do you know what I mean? And there's one
4:36
or two of them. I was like, ah, yeah, yeah,
4:39
looking around the room by myself, gone, that makes if this ever came
4:43
up at a table, because in fucking Shanghai they would go Ireland one or
4:46
two of them now in fairness, but a couple went looking went fuck off
4:53
clean and no doubt there's millions that we like, there's rakes, but like
4:58
every every side went onto there was a blasted from once and no doubt people
5:00
listening will go our town invented, you know, because odd places like the
5:06
town of Burr very well known for like it was pretty much the home of
5:12
I suppose optics and whatnot. When it comes to peering at the skies.
5:17
They still have one of the first ever telescopes. There also town of Eating
5:21
Derry I'm naming awfully here, which I never normally would ever dream of doone
5:26
Eating Derry center of Europe. When it comes to the occult by all accounts.
5:31
So anyway, there you go. Well, we might be crossing the
5:34
streams on that one. We're gonna circle back to eating derry for that the
5:38
second maybe or maybe not, or in a future episode. But for now,
5:41
Tom, let's take the listeners through a couple of inventions, and it
5:44
must be said, Tom, we take them back to the golden age of
5:46
inventions. Nothing's getting invented these days, Tom, have any interest anyway,
5:50
nothing of any fucking interest, Era, fuck it. Every now and then
5:54
you might get like a new or slightly quicker version of maps that will be
5:59
better in Google Maps, but only a wee bit. But like, what
6:01
have you invented here? What have you done? Because there's nothing like they
6:08
like you said, they're just I listened to a podcast briefly with Elon Musk
6:12
and the board the living Jesus out of me. I don't care what that
6:15
man invents, but by god, he is fucking porridge to listen to it.
6:18
But he was talking about his cyber truck, and like, you just
6:21
made a truck and he's talking about it like he literally reinvented people's travel,
6:31
invented a pain in my hole. So we did. But there were a
6:34
couple of Irish people, Tom, that did invent a couple of good things.
6:38
We're gonna go through. Now, how do you feel about that,
6:39
Buddy, I'd loved, loved. That's thirty five minutes of any part anybody's
6:44
podcast in time right there. So, like I say, we're in the
6:48
golden age of We're in the golden age of inventions, Tom. This is
6:53
when like new ship was needed and people were going out to do it.
6:57
And what you're bringing to the table, Tom, I'm just gonna put a
7:00
front street that pretty much everybody on my list is a man. Terribly sorry,
7:04
a white man for that. Like, you know, we tried for
7:08
a bit of diversity in this, but there wasn't a lot of non white
7:14
men or you know, women of color in eighteenth century Ireland inventing for call.
7:20
There just wasn't a yeah for another day, we'll find, we'll circle
7:25
back, we'll find, we'll do a whole episode of Mary Currey some of
7:29
these days and all the fucking things she did. But like she's still glowing.
7:32
She's still glowing. God. Yeah, that's actually you know earmarked that
7:39
one. That's a good episode. Okay, my sister went to her university.
7:43
We went. I partied pretty hard at mas Strict University for a long
7:46
weekend one time. But that's the story definitely for another I think I may
7:50
be slightly really still, I don't even know what the fuck we'd call that
7:54
episode. Dumb Tom's is still closed. There you go, we're gonna get
8:01
into a couple of days and we're going to bang through them. Okay,
8:05
wonderful age Imagine like, you know, news comes to you that the thing
8:07
had been invented, the right brothers have invented an airplane no fucker has ever
8:11
flown before. And hear these guys skipping across Katie Hawk like you know what
8:15
I mean, unbelievable time, an unbelievable Nobody gets excited by fuck all anymore
8:20
because nothing even inventions are like yeah, but everything gets invented all the time.
8:28
Like back then, they've gone through a long period of nothing. Then
8:31
all of a sudden, absolutely not, what the fuck, oh Tom,
8:35
this isn't This isn't an invention, Like you know, here's a here's a
8:39
new type of credit card? Is it the bank? It's an online thing?
8:43
All right? Wonderful? Yeah, whatever the fuck? Now this is
8:45
an actual thing. I'm gonna tell you to you straight, Tom, And
8:46
it was invented by an Irish man. Or don't you know color photography go
8:52
on something. We're literally looking at each other, looking at you in color
8:58
here, Tom, Okay, I am looking at you in black and white.
9:01
Brother, I'm looking at you in color. Now. I wouldn't say
9:05
that's one down to this man, but he certainly is a guy that invented
9:09
a process that made it. I won't say palpable to the to the to
9:15
the market. No, they were palpable for they wanted the Tom. It
9:18
wasn't the case of color photography. No, No, I'm on the I'm
9:20
on the board. I'm on the fucking fence about that. But he was
9:22
a chap called John Jolly. That's j O. L Y, my friend.
9:28
And I was there, like, you know, I've read his name
9:30
like five times and I was like my brain kept going dumb Jolly yeah yeah,
9:33
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah when you spelled it out there like John
9:37
Jolly, yeah yeah, John Jolly. To be fair, Julie, to
9:41
be fair, to tell John it was absolutely necessary because here's the thing.
9:46
You know, when you something comes out in new or say somebody makes you
9:52
something like you get a cake but it's not your favorite cake, but you
9:54
like I like cake. But it's like okay, do you know? Or
9:58
your case it makes your something you're like class but like wait your twenty and
10:03
you're actually really good with trying and saying I mean this is good. But
10:05
it's like all right, but but black and white, it's like what class.
10:09
You can take a picture of us and it's upside down and but like
10:13
we all see each other in color, right, so this isn't real real
10:18
sure, it's not like because like I'm wearing a fucking orange, fucking fedora
10:22
in real life and that's just black. What's the big and we can do
10:26
with that? Literally, this guy went yep, and yeah, I need
10:30
this to I need I need color photography or you know. This is the
10:33
thing with invention. It's not like I need it. It's not like I
10:35
want. It's just I believe I can do it. I believe I can
10:39
turn the dial up and this, I can believe I can make it better.
10:41
And that was a chap called John Jolie. He was where was a
10:46
grade seven? Seven? Okay, so a lot of these fellows have done
10:50
their best inventing by the time you and me, none of these cross forty
10:54
without having something invented. Tom. So here we are admiring each other,
10:56
fucking mustachious before this christ and he's an awfully man. Get out of town.
11:05
What's on the water down there? So the optics, wow, you
11:09
know, awfully or Kingstown as it was known at the time. No,
11:18
it wasn't Kingstown. What was a Queen's county? Yes, yeah, all
11:20
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, Queen's county at the time.
11:24
So maybe that will maybe that will inform a couple of things going forward
11:28
to Yeah, okay, So was he instructed on behalf? It was?
11:33
Is that what it is? He was instructed on make it getting a fucking
11:35
room and make it Colordy, he's thirty seven and he's invented color photography in
11:41
ninety eighteen ninety four. He wasn't hurting for spots as a young fellow.
11:45
Yea like that, Yeah, a spoiler alert. There's a lot of that,
11:50
all right. But this guy's job was was to invent, like you
11:54
know, and it wasn't just color photography, Tom. It wasn't like he
11:58
was looking at a little lithograph of a cowboy wondering, I wonder what he
12:03
looks like in color, Like, how do you know you're gonna shoot the
12:05
right fuck or on a wanted poster? I well about to get photography out
12:09
of this, he was like, he was like, as best as I
12:11
can dig up John, John, And I'm sorry, I just I lost
12:16
my train of out there because I inadvertently just have just such a very,
12:20
such a wonderful pun in there. Oh fuck, I did it again.
12:24
The best I could dig up about John was that he was a geologist by
12:28
trade. I can't turn the ship off to No. Sorry, that was
12:31
just right there. That's that's just a great line. I'm sorry. Yeah,
12:35
No, in all fairness, it is it rocks. I'm sorry.
12:39
So his his his his skill in geology and all this kind of thing was
12:43
like he'd he'd like date rocks so he could see how old were, So
12:46
he was familiar with various rays and all this kind of horseshit, right,
12:52
and he also used it to create like he was big. He was biginning
12:56
radium tom and beginning to like radiotherapy for cancers and all this kind of shit
13:01
and various fucking dohkies and all this kind of thing and and half of that
13:07
separately selfies. Yeah, there you go. It is my rock filter right
13:16
now. Yeah yeah, Okay, I gotta put the rocks to a side.
13:20
I gotta gotta put the cancer equipment side. You know, some fella
13:24
has some fucking funding behind him, some healing behind him, when in eighteen
13:28
ninety whatever in the fucking awfully that he can be fluting around with rocks,
13:35
do you know what I mean? Like he's he's tooling around here, like
13:37
you know, he went on the great you know, the the Grand Tour.
13:41
For sure he did, like you know, a man of science,
13:45
you know what I'm saying, he had a mistache. Basically, well here's
13:50
the thing, right, Basically he discovered he didn't discover because it was mooted
13:54
at the time that you could possibly take three separate bands of light, the
13:58
red, green, blue light and bring them together onto a single I don't
14:05
know what is it, anitator or something page of some such. So rather
14:09
than just let lighting in one go, you had to use a filter to
14:13
break it up into the green, and filter to break it up in the
14:15
blue, filtered to break it up into the red, and then all that
14:16
would print down onto the photo and lo and behold, Tom, you had
14:20
the basis of the color photographs that you and I still look at to this
14:26
day. All were pioneered by what became known as the Jolly technique or Jolly
14:31
Jolly Man. And and and Although there were other people working on color photography
14:37
and had their methods and means of making a color photograph, this was the
14:41
one that became most popular. This was the VHS to the Beta Max Tom,
14:46
this was the one that won out. And DVD to Blu Ray.
14:50
Yeah again, exactly, yeah, yeah, I get it. I get
14:52
it. Now. With that being said, and I have looked for the
14:56
better part of this daytime, I cannot find a color photograph of this card.
15:01
Maybe yeah, I mean crafty Bass probably went this might kill the first
15:05
person or the first ten people that I pointed out. Yeah, I could
15:09
blow a whole street. Find me some peasants from the fields, get me
15:13
a colorful animal, get me a fox and a peacock. Yeah, but
15:18
there you go, And there you go. You know, we're not going
15:20
to linger on these lads all that long time, but there you go.
15:24
That's what he was doing at the end. It's a hefty one. That's
15:26
a hefty one photography in fucking Eden area wherever he was. Jeez, yeah,
15:31
I went route and I found some absolutely pointless ones that Irish people invented.
15:35
But at the same time, you know, it was hit me with
15:39
another one. I'm going to chime in with a couple of these, do
15:41
you know what I'm actually Okay, look, just not I I'm not pandering
15:46
to the audience or anything. But I listened to a very interesting audio tape.
15:52
I listened to a podcast which we are doing right now, but I
15:56
listened to one the other evening and it was a woman who was emulating the
16:02
late lady Mary Heath from Limerick, who was known as the Heroine of the
16:07
Skies. I just this isn't an invention she gave everybody. But she was
16:10
the first person woman other men to fly solo across Africa from South Africa to
16:17
London back in like yeah, back in eighteen ninety six in a round out.
16:22
Fucking Jolie would have known of her, like only taking a picture of
16:26
her. There you go. So I just wanted to throw it out because
16:29
she was this one was emulating that it was costing a fortune to me to
16:32
do. But but but it just stuck out my head that at some point
16:36
in the podcast, I was gonna definitely get to say this to you.
16:37
Yeah, she was a bed bitch like she was like, fucking yeah,
16:41
nobody had done it, nobody would chances back then Tanzania all through them fucking
16:45
play Foo. She flew the whole fuck away. There you go, There
16:49
you go. So just just said, I throwed out to give me your
16:52
next please, I'll get out here. I'll tell you if she had a
16:56
fucking crash, Tom, or if you had to come acropper and and my
17:00
into the ground and needed medical attention, she could have called. And then
17:03
these next two boys, these next two byes okay, two separate chaps,
17:07
all right, ah, both of them Irish. Okay, here's what they
17:11
but here's what they gave to us. So what have the Irish ever done
17:14
for us? Tom? Okay? How about hypodermic needles, my man?
17:18
About every injection you ever got in your life, okay, came through a
17:22
hyperdermic needle. At least they came at me. I don't know. Maybe
17:25
you've had some of them, like scratched on with tattoo needles or some ship
17:27
I don't know which. By the way, yeah, which would probably work
17:32
right, which, by the way, is absolutely verified was also invented by
17:37
an irishman by the name of O'Reilly, who moved to yeah, Yeah,
17:41
yeah, tattoo guy, because I've seen those O'Reilly ones are. I was
17:44
watching tattoo program and they're really hard to come by the originals and guys like
17:48
like to get tattoo, Tim said in him for a minute, I want
17:52
I want to we'll have a crack about him there in a wee second.
17:53
Right, I want to talk you about these hypodermic needles. All right,
17:57
so every doctor they ever fucking stuff needle and you stuck a hypodermic. But
18:02
did you know the first ever hypodermic needle was a Dublin doctor. Okay,
18:07
make all the easy jokes you want about hypodermic needles my lips Dublin. I'm
18:12
saying nothing. Uh, you know, we invented the fucking things. We
18:18
should probably should maybe invent a safe place for people to fucking inject themselves,
18:22
you know, and and and do not a little bit of good. But
18:25
apparently we just stopped at inventing the Hey, hey, if I throw a
18:29
dog a bone, I don't want to know if it fucking tastes nice,
18:30
Darry, come on, I want to hear about these capitalists inventing men.
18:33
Well, there was a chap called Francis Rind, Tom r y Nd,
18:41
I'm calling that for himself. So you tell me he wasn't a sort and
18:45
he became syringd o, my god, inventor of the syringe. Well,
18:51
this is where it gets. This is where it gets a weee bit,
18:52
This gets a wee bit. We've be pointed because I think he invented the
18:57
needle, but not the syringe. A syringe is not a needle. A
19:03
syringe is something that that squeezes and pushes fluid. Right, So that's the
19:07
pump. So he invented the hollow needles. That what you're telling me,
19:11
correct and right. I don't believe he invented the syringe, Tom an actual
19:17
fact. I think he invented the needle and then just attached it to like
19:22
like a stuck it in his mouth and blew it in. Yeah, or
19:25
like a fucking hot water bottle of stuff. Wrong here, Watkins killing you
19:30
know it was more like kenna, let me let me drip this stuff into
19:33
you, rather than let me, you don't ship, How did you get
19:36
that far? You made the hardest bit and then you can't. It's not
19:41
that he couldn't. He didn't want to. Oh oh, he's like,
19:45
I'm done here, What do you want from me? I made him just
19:47
rip off his white coat and throws it in the corners. Yeah, finish,
19:52
I'm off to spend me fucking needle money, you know what I mean.
19:56
It's like it's like Dunlop, I invented tires, someone else can invent
20:00
the cars. Yeah, anyway, at this chap, he got all this
20:03
done Tom When was it in eighteen forty five? And he was at age
20:07
of forty four at the time, so he was in his forties, all
20:10
right, So that's all right. But he was a doctor, but he
20:12
was eat a patient in giving out in Dublin, in a Dublin clinic,
20:18
you know. It was eighteen forty five, and they're in giving out a
20:19
bit. I've got slight I've got a slight pain in my upper face.
20:22
So that's wonderful. People are dying, Kim, like we've got a fucking
20:27
but no, he's over here treating this lady with a pain in her face
20:33
and they were given them, like I guess it was like I guess morphine
20:34
tablets or some shit, and you would eat you would eat the morphine tablets
20:38
or get tinstures or get like little droplets or some shit like that, you
20:42
know the way like in Deadwood you'd put like a little droplet of load no
20:48
or what not in a glass and drinking or this kind of thing. And
20:51
my man Francis when this is now, come here with a quick a way
20:53
about this, lads, What if I just like shot it directly into the
20:57
most of your face that I invented that and and made it And the arrest
21:04
assured Tom the first shoe he made wasn't clean and its rough as fuck too,
21:08
like you know what I mean, it was it. No, he'll
21:11
get in there, trust me, it will slip right between the boards.
21:17
What the fuck if he didn't do it? And your woman was there like
21:18
yeah, should you know what? Doctor? Yeah, come to find out
21:22
that actually that's actually quite nice. You're getting syringed in the face or needled
21:26
in the face, so to speak. Cool, and it caught on Tom.
21:32
And last time you gave blood or got an injection for anything, Uh,
21:37
no judgments here, and like this is not a fucking podcast. This
21:41
is the safe space. I'm baxed up the fucking hours. Forget about it.
21:45
I have ah there you go. Where'd you get it from? Got
21:52
from Francis Rain's patented hypodermic needles, say we I'm gonna stay with doctors.
21:56
And I told you I had two in a row. Okay, but that
21:59
brings me to an next man, Tom, I told you I was giving
22:00
you two in the row from the medical profession here because while my other brother
22:04
here, Francis Wrenn here was injecting people, we have another chap here called
22:10
Arthur Leared. Arthur Leard li aried Tom Lovely Oxford. Now he was a
22:18
weak bitt the ten of line in eighteen fifty one, so Rint will be
22:22
already be injected by his here now. But Arthur Leard is the youngest chap
22:26
I have on this list. At the age of twenty nine, he invented
22:30
the statoscope a twenty a fuck off for twenty nine, invented it. There
22:34
you go, not for nothing as well, Tom Here. Now we have
22:37
Francis Rinn and Arthur Leard and the other boy at the start here. Now,
22:40
so I guess we could merely, like, you know, change the
22:42
name of this episode to what have Protestants ever done? It's just like the
22:51
Church of Ireland ever done for us? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
22:53
So here we are. Look, they had the money and the education
22:56
at the time. We got it. We got to handle them. I
22:59
think we've got some die in the wall. What am I trying to say
23:04
here, Tom, that's not offensive to anybody. We've got a couple of
23:08
Roman Catholics coming up the way. Yeah, I have a few of them
23:11
here, I have a few of them. Yeah. I was just closed
23:15
to say, we've got a couple of Irish people coming up. We've got
23:18
a couple of tags coming up, a couple of Fenians coming up, fucking
23:22
literally. But for now, this was this chap here, this Arthur Leard,
23:26
and he was there. He put the ow and bine url. Yeah.
23:30
We had we had our we had our boye. But no, this
23:34
is there by Arthur Leard. He was the chapter put the ow and buying
23:40
oural stethoscope. Ah, that's now what the doctor listens to you with,
23:47
Tom. Because again there had been stephanoscopic equipment. There was a corner,
23:53
a corner, Yeah, a little sort of like like old Victorian listening horn.
24:03
Yes, yes to hear you know up unto this chap rock and rolled
24:11
along you you know, you had ways and means of hear. And if
24:14
some forker had TV, all right, yeah it wasn't. It wasn't the
24:17
way I can hear. I can hear your I can hear your TV is
24:21
acting up? Look at listen to that. Come over here and listen to
24:23
this fellow's TV. Well, now you could. You could listen to it
24:29
in stereoscope. I'm gonna light lighting things here anyway. That's what did.
24:37
He tied a couple of bits of metal together and listen to some chefs,
24:41
and I was like, oh shit, I can sell this cell that he
24:42
did. There you go. Would you believe that chocolate milk was invented in
24:48
Irelands? Now I demand didn't invent chocolate and he didn't invent milk. By
24:53
Jesus Christ, takes a bowld man to put these two together and and walk
25:00
through that one. Now, Tom, do you have a name on this
25:02
story? His name is Jesus. Had it there one second? He was
25:07
Cadbury? No? Uh so yeah, So let me just get to the
25:15
man who was first thought combining these two delicious ingredients. Was hands Sloan,
25:18
Oh Sloan, Yeah sloan. Of course he was a physician as well,
25:23
but he was born braised in County Down. Now yeah, sorry, all
25:33
right, all right, but look at there's some he's got an interest in
25:38
story. At least. He was studying in Jamaica. Yeah he was,
25:42
Yeah, he was, yeah place j one was. He he noticed the
25:48
natives mix and coca water and drinking it, and he was like, you
25:53
notice the natives, did you? All right? But he tried to drink
25:57
and he found it fucking rank. That's the interesting thing. This is how
26:03
it's how we came about, like discovering it. And he was like,
26:07
which is great because you never really hear the process. And this is the
26:08
process where whether he invented it or not, I mean, I've invented a
26:12
couple of things that I have to in the morning when you come in from
26:15
the pub, you know, like sweet and beans on toast. Once happened,
26:19
I I have invented two pot noodles. Well he chanced to with milk
26:26
instead because he wasn't he wasn't letting off. He was like, no,
26:29
there's fucking something to this. These buyes fucking loved and it gives them a
26:30
load of fucking go. So he chanced to with milk after that, Yeah,
26:34
to work on the fucking plantations that were putting them on. Yeah yeah,
26:37
yeah, but sure he was going back to Ireland to drag fucking Irish
26:41
lads back, like the Manserrat over to Manserrat in Jamaica and these places like.
26:45
But he oh this so happened to be they were drinking cocoa and water,
26:51
yeah, because it was all all, but didn't he didn't bring it
26:55
back as a treat though. He brought it back. He brought it back
26:56
to it to Britain as it would have been at the time. But he
27:00
brought it back and took a patent doubt on it and started selling it through
27:04
apothecaries as medicine, as many of these fucking things would be. So yeah,
27:10
medicine about the nineteenth century become nineteenth century turned into confectiony drink. But
27:14
he got two centuries worth the fucking coin with his name on it, basically
27:18
as a healthy way to start to day, like it's revitalizing tonic, yeah,
27:26
simple cocon bottom. Yeah, look came here like fair player room for
27:32
thinking mix it with milk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they probably
27:36
took another little leap to go. She's maybe heated up as well. It'll
27:40
be nice now. I like you're basically telling me he invented hot chocolate,
27:45
right, yeah, yeah, he invented hot chocolate, something we all love,
27:48
we all love, and I don't know what medicinal qualities are in it,
27:51
but look good. How to be honest with We're gonna be honest with
27:53
you, Tom. I think I might have said this in the previous podcast,
27:56
Like I like chocolate. Don't get me wrong. I like chocolate as
28:00
chocolate. Yeah, don't give it to me in a cake, don't give
28:03
it to me an ice cream, don't give it to me a milkshake.
28:07
Don't give it to me in like any sort of drinking chocolate, because that's
28:08
I'm like that. Who'll be fair. I'm kind of wit you on that
28:11
because I can't remember the last time I had it. I No, I
28:15
can't remember the last time I had drinking chocolate. But I'm gonna move on
28:18
because I want to find a fellout for you. And I remember this from
28:21
your from our previous Cars episode where you were looking to put an inject ejector
28:26
seat into your car. Well, I had this fucker as well. Go
28:30
on, Yeah, well he's another fellow from fucking County down. But at
28:34
least his surname is Martin. I'm just saying Jimmy Martin was his name himself,
28:41
and a fella called Valentine Baker. So yeah, God Jesus, yeah,
28:45
but like hey Tom, No, but in fairness, look, I'm
28:49
just saying Martin Baker. They had an aircraft company in nineteen thirty four and
28:55
they're producing like this, serious serious aircraft. They weren't fuck acting around,
28:59
but they were the ones who kind of coined the idea of all right,
29:03
you don't always have to go down with the ship, like you know what
29:06
I mean, if you fucking lost the luffs blown off your fucking urse,
29:11
let's put let's put exactly what Jerry McBride wants into this. Let's put a
29:15
giant fucking spring or possibly gas loaded or whatever. But they put the ejection
29:21
seat. This has been like the thirties, nineteen thirties, but the Twist
29:25
and the Tailors. While testing their third version, their latest part three,
29:30
Mark three, Baker took the road to test pilot and he killed. He
29:36
was fucking killed. Look, I mean mistakes were made, Tom, and
29:41
I had this guy. I had this guy down as well, and he's
29:48
like, oh you, he's like the fucking rest of them, Tom.
29:51
There were ways of getting out of a plane that was crashing before this,
29:56
and we'll be talking about like biplanes and spitfires. Yeah, yeah, Yorks
30:00
wouldn't be traveling that fucking As best as I know, they got this.
30:07
They got this thing working round about nineteen forty six, so you can imagine
30:10
what the war on to be. Boys like just throwing money at them,
30:12
Like we need something for planes to get out of these things when they're burning
30:18
and going down. We can save the man, fuck the plane. We'll
30:21
save the man, bring him back down so he can go up again and
30:22
get shot again. Ah. So, like I guess beforehand, if you
30:27
wanted to get out of a plane, you slid the canopy forward as best
30:30
you could, climbed out and jumped off the side of it. But like,
30:37
plane crashes strike me as occasionally more urgent than that. Yeah, you
30:45
don't have time to be all crumbs. I guess I better slide the thing
30:48
up. So with this bollocks here, sir, James Martin. What he
30:51
did there was he introduced explosives to the mix. Isn't that right? Yeah?
30:56
He's like, don't be trying to slide the can and I guess,
30:57
like trying to slide the canopy off a plane that's like flying really fast.
31:02
It's probably hard because you're pushing again the wind side the canopy off. Yes,
31:07
so blow it off instead. Just a little pull of a toug and
31:08
a little explosive both go and the whole canopy lifts them work off. And
31:14
then you pull another little chit and like a little explosive goes off underneath you
31:18
and launches you on a tube and you're and now you were out and out
31:22
of the plane. Tom. It's up to you at that stage what you
31:26
do. It has stopped being a sir James Martin problem, as you say,
31:33
as I said, like if I you know, if I throw your
31:34
bone at all and tastes you know, it's like, yeah, you're out
31:38
of the plane now. So after this it's it's you know, it's your
31:41
ass, buddy. I think you'll find my ejective seat work. But you're
31:47
right. The first guy to test that his art or as they were tested,
31:49
his man. Baker was like yeah, and it exploded absolutely absolutely too
31:55
good. Maybe the but you know what, if you're gonna go, that's
32:00
what you want to do, like you want to but it was it was
32:04
Tom, you want to be the lad on the ground with Sir James Martin
32:07
with a fucking spreadsheet going like all right, okay, so a little less
32:09
t NT next time, and also with the spreadsheet going so hold on fifty
32:15
becomes one hundred and double take it. Yeah. I was like, oh
32:22
yeah, sorry, Valentine, Yeah, yeah, I know he was a
32:25
good man. I have two definitely fellaws for you and I'm and I've I
32:30
have rec' that's that's what James Martin like, you know. Yeah. And
32:34
then they turned around to the RAF and says can be are listen, uh
32:37
this works? Do you want it? And they were like do you want
32:38
planes in the middle of a war? Sir, yes, absolutely take all
32:43
that you fucking got money going to don you love to see? This is
32:49
an absolutely, very much an Irish Irish man. He was by the name
32:53
of Vincent Barry. Was his name from Cork. He was Cork, so
32:57
he was he was nineteen oh way through the nineteen seventy five, you know
33:01
what I mean. So he's in relatively recent times and here's the guests fucking
33:06
thing he like, I suppose a lot of inventions, and we don't hear
33:08
the full story of his He actually discovered a cure for leprosy by accident.
33:17
Yeah, so people were like, bring a your dad. Well again,
33:23
okay, So what we were so he was he was he was a doctor,
33:29
I think was he he was? Yeah, he was. He was
33:31
UCC based doctor, doctor Vincent Barry, and he was, well, I
33:37
don't know if I can't actually really see if it was if it was a
33:40
doctor, but he was a scientist and researcher. But he discovered an absolute
33:45
fucking winner winner chicken dinner for baiting fucking leprosy. But he was sure that
33:51
wasn't what he was looking for at all. He was he was actually trying
33:54
to sort out the TV the tuberculosis problem. I don't know if he got
33:59
to the lot of that. He did apparently did great work for it,
34:02
but I don't know if he officially got to the bottom of it. But
34:05
in the middle of all this, he went, hang on, one second,
34:07
while we're at it. Compound B sixty six three, it fucking cures
34:13
leprosy. Lad's fucking cures leprosy. He seems fifteen million people worldwide. That
34:20
yeah, fifteen million people worldwide. He directly can be attributed to his discovery.
34:24
And like, okay, Tom, here's here's where my ignorance of leprosy
34:28
comes out. Was there leprosy in Ireland? No? No, it was
34:31
mostly in that Sub Saharan folk in Africa where you have arage conditions where things
34:37
like that bring out your dad, you know, and they did, like
34:42
and here's my ignorance leprosy as well as like as like a bloodborne disease.
34:45
Yeah, I think so, yeah, kind of a kind of a thing.
34:49
I think we had more than I'm just wondering how like, you know,
34:51
we had more things like like TV and timber tongue and fucking things that
34:55
affected you because of the dampness of the place. But I think TV it's
35:00
more. It's more of a people, fucking people who could wear sandals on
35:05
their fucking terrain where Sandus wouldn't have fitted in around here at all. Do
35:09
you know what I mean? There were people of people have if you weren't
35:13
an RT at Christmas, tme hey, Hey, all I know is they
35:20
paid me just fine, that's all. And again I'm only saying it because
35:25
if you if you're testing the drug or medicine or tincture whatever, the FU
35:30
will be poldus for TV. But you discover that it actually cures leprosy just
35:36
fine, then you do have to been teaching trying that on some lad that
35:39
had leprosy and TV right, well, I'm guessing like if he turned around
35:44
and go like, you know, well my leprosy cleared right up with the
35:45
TV still at me, Well, who knows that? I mean as a
35:50
result of the British Empire, because he would have been probably working under the
35:53
British close to the British Empire at the time. Chance Star his lab had
36:00
maybe they were able to send over lead who had a good dose of liprosy,
36:02
or they had it in a little egg ar dish, and he was
36:06
like, look at what we're at it. We'll just test on everything as
36:07
we go, because we definitely meant something here. Lads. I think we
36:09
can all agree that that we made a thing. We can agree this compound
36:13
does something, all right, It's not worth throwing out like you know,
36:15
that's that's had yeah, look at that. I know you fucking give out
36:19
of a cork. Yeah, I know, I know, I know,
36:21
I know. I got one. I got one more for you can.
36:27
We're fucking up the world with good stuff. Tom, I'm gonna fill up
36:30
the world with good stuff, and I'm going to bring this guy back here
36:32
now, a guy called John Philip Holland, don't you know, born in
36:37
County Claire and a sorry biggest parton in eighteen seventy eight at the age of
36:43
thirty seven. So he's born eighteen forty one ish, So he was a
36:46
famine baby. H invented the submarine town Oh by Jesus Christ. Yeah,
36:54
well okay, like I will say again, terms and conditions apply, but
36:59
this is my man, John Philip Holland doesn't appear to have been from a
37:02
rich family. His dad was just like the coast Guard, okay, and
37:09
his mom, like his man was like a native Irish speaker, so she
37:14
was like, I guess like from the gael talks over there, like maybe
37:15
as that was with the Royal Coast Guard. Yeah, sincerely doubt that the
37:21
there's any sort of Irish Coast Guard came in it. Well, so okay,
37:23
you know, what I mean, Like, you know, okay,
37:25
there's there's a bit of the landed gentry and m but but he doesn't appear
37:30
to have been been rich of any sorts. And he just got into engineering
37:35
and ship like that. He got enough to go to school to engineer things,
37:37
Tom. And it's not again like a here day. These days we'll
37:38
engineer you a slightly better version of something we've had for a long time.
37:43
We'll actually make things, and we'll make all manners of ship, and we'll
37:46
make patterns and we get them out here. And he made the fucking submarine,
37:50
Tom, Now, like you know, fuck I say he made the
37:58
submarine. Like you know, it's kind of like saying Henry Ford made the
38:04
car. Well, he made the production line. I beg your party,
38:07
I beg your part. It's kind of like saying Henry Ford made the wheel
38:10
He did, okay, right, four wheels on a great car and rolled
38:14
it off the production line and and blah blah blah. Because there was there
38:17
was submarines going back to the Greeks, like those submarines go back to like
38:22
fucking ancient Greece and fifteen hundreds and all this kind of shit, right,
38:25
But it was basically like a thing you dragged behind the ship and it would
38:30
go under the water and all. But we're talking about what aer man over
38:34
here. He made like usable propelled. Usable has an engine, goes where
38:44
it once goes on the water, comes back up, doesn't burst and drown
38:49
everybody in it. Actual usable sink. The lucitaneous submarine, Well, he
38:55
fucking made a submarine. He invented the submarine. So as far as i'm
38:59
can earned, yeah, he did. He maybe what became known as a
39:05
Holland class submarine. Didn't we invent didn't we invent torpedoes as well, just
39:08
to go along with yees, some motherfucker, some mother on the fucker on
39:13
the West coast invented guided torpedoes, which was like torpedoes were a thing,
39:17
but they went where you sent them. But this lad like invented them that
39:22
had little strings on them that you could steer them like mile long strings,
39:25
that you could steer them like kites left and right into the smash into a
39:29
boat. And I mean that's the next that's that is the nexus of And
39:31
if anybody wants to go to listen to our what are you drinking hoots from
39:37
around the world episode, you will find crazy bastards and torpedoes. But you
39:45
know, to go back to who if it was okay with strings and you're
39:50
pulling on it and now the rest, you gotta start somewhere. I mean,
39:52
you gotta start somewhere. You gotta Yeah. And I think with the
39:54
with the with these old torpedoes Tom, like if they didn't hit it,
39:58
and you could sort of like just cash up by the wires and reeled them
40:00
back into the ship and twist up the dial again and let him let him
40:05
go have another go fuck it. That's a great joke. But that's that's
40:08
about where I would start with it. I wasn't John Philip Holland, and
40:13
he had the he had the submarines, and the US Navy were like,
40:15
yeah, go on, we'll take all of them you got. But he
40:20
was bankrolled or he was in league with or how he got his money to
40:23
make these things and prototypes was he was with the Fenian movement, the revolutionaries,
40:29
and and they were there like, yeah, yeah, go on,
40:30
we'll we'll we'll sort of help you help you out with these. And I
40:35
guess maybe we'll get a few of them at the end, and think a
40:37
couple of fucking British ships. Maybe so. The first submarine he made was
40:42
called a Fenian Ram. Wow. Yeah, Wow, that sounds like a
40:46
fucking Wolftones tour. That's like what lion O from the ThunderCats would fucking drive
40:52
if he was born in the fucking South. There, you've got to get
40:55
to the Fenian Ram. I'm going to finish off with one fella, and
41:01
he's he's a working class hero. He's a working class hero from the Liberties
41:07
in Dublin, and his name is Joseph Murphy. He will have touched many
41:12
people's lips throughout these throughout people listen to this, and you probably don't have
41:19
no idea. Prior to Joseph Murphy fucking stepping out from behind his mother's apron,
41:25
there was crisps. There were crisps, but they were boring plane fucking
41:31
fucking fried crisp. They were plain. There was no flavor show, potato
41:36
shavings, potato shavings. Well, this chap who went on to be known
41:42
affectionately as Bud Murphy, the original fucking Spud Murphy, the Og Murphy.
41:46
He was in nineteen fifties and he brought he introduced During the nineteen fifties,
41:52
he started his own potato making company and introduced fucking cheese and onion flavor to
41:58
his company, better known as Tato. No So not Sam Spods, not
42:02
Sam fucking no Sam Spuds. Absolutely not sam Spods, so like so so
42:08
so. Tato was actually the first flavored crisp, first flavored, and cheese
42:14
and onion is what he went for. He thought they'd be two great flavors
42:16
to put together, and he wasn't fucking wrong. I'll tell you that.
42:22
Right prior to that, everywhere worldwide, if there was potato shavings fried in
42:24
anyway, they just had no flavor. They just know they'll probably like,
42:29
Tom, did you ever get them to, like, you know, Octoberfest
42:32
or some ship like a They give you like a con of crisps with no
42:36
flavor on them. You're like, what is this fucking sadness? I gotta
42:40
tell you it does appeal to me. I do like it. Oh,
42:43
I love the idea of it. But when you're shwigging fucking steins of beer,
42:46
the number one thing you need is a salty, fucking, savory,
42:50
fucking flavor. Don't give me fucking what my eyes think are going to be
42:54
crisps of a nice stinky flavor. Instead you give me boring off. No,
43:00
well done, spoil there you go, well done, sport more fhe
43:02
up on. The Liberties were also Guinness, I guess was invented. Yeah,
43:07
but again the Guinnesses weren't exactly hard up. You know what I mean?
43:10
I mean, this is it too? Yeah? Well, I mean
43:14
there's a rate. Did invent Guinness and Nixer? Do you know what I
43:16
mean? It wasn't. It wasn't coming home from the job as a plumber
43:20
and fucking turning out Guinness at the same time. No, no crisps,
43:23
I'll tell you, Tom, Crispson fucking beer or in a in a in
43:27
a in such a small radius, I'll tell you it makes for Yeah,
43:30
it makes sense. It does make sense that it happened, not for not,
43:36
not for nothing as well. Tom up. You know if you if
43:37
you have a few feed the Guinness and Crispin the next day, you want
43:39
to fry Denny's rashers. No way did Denny invent the rasher. Denny invented
43:49
the rasher. Mister Denny, his name escapes me, But mister Denny invented
43:52
the Rasher said, hang on a second, come back here with that hammer.
43:54
We shave it into wee bits and we fried it up either side,
43:58
and we made the cutter bread. Give me a cutter of bread. World,
44:01
we gave you guided torpedoes and bacon your fucking well, Why Jesus Christ,
44:09
there's rakes. More, there's fucking rakes. But we we have an
44:13
hour. We're gonna do this show in an hour, and that's that.
44:15
But we I started off with the knife of Brian moment and all the rest
44:19
of the there ares like there's an embarrassing amount of fucking things that the Romans
44:23
invented. But again, a lot of the things they kind of they improved
44:28
on a lot of the things that the Greeks, and I mean, if
44:30
you were to, you know, believe in conspiracy theories, the Tartarians and
44:32
the fucking you know, the the Aliens before that in Egypt and everything else.
44:37
But look, we're not fucking going back that far. We're just going
44:38
to go as far as Romans in Roman times. Ship we can still see
44:42
today that we can go. That's Roman. Our calendar. Our calendar is
44:46
as a result of the Romans, the Julian calendar the Gregorian calendar, you
44:52
know it. They they basically aligned it properly for us the what would the
44:58
Greeks had kind of put it to somewhat, but really the likes of Julius
45:01
Caesar and whatnot. He was the boy when we need to work this around,
45:06
how the sun is actually fucking working. That's because we're actually fuck acting
45:08
around here, just fucking we're gonna tomb up in this guy hoping the fuck
45:12
that the day is gonna know we need And it was all based around war.
45:15
Everything was based around war and how they needed to calculate how many days
45:19
they need to get to war and how many days to get back and everything
45:22
else. And we needed to actually have fucking timings of this carry on because
45:24
you'd hear blind boys saying times just to construct me. It's fucking if there
45:30
was just purely constructive, man, then we wouldn't have a son that goes
45:32
around, you know that we go around and all the rest of it.
45:35
But the calendar can be derived straight known as the Julian calendar three hundred and
45:39
sixty five days long with the leap yer every four years, forms the basis
45:45
of also known as the Gregorian calendar, on the it's it's it's imperfect time.
45:51
I will tell you. I like that. Yeah, it is imperfect.
45:52
It is like you know, I think we could have done it a
45:55
little bit. Well we have what we have a right, fair enough,
45:59
we have a we have I mean yes, you'll hear people say, well,
46:01
ever you seventy two years there's a procession, you know, and the
46:04
because the earth actually wobbled a little bit. Okay, all right, apologies.
46:08
Underfloor heating relatively new invention. You think today you or I didn't grow
46:13
up underfloor heating, did we? No? No, well, well Jerry,
46:17
because a round says fucking owl. God's times around. They had an
46:22
unbelieved they would create a much like I guess you could do today, but
46:25
they would create a vacuous space between floor tiled floor and the sub floor,
46:32
and under that sub floor, which was would have a basement under they would
46:37
start a fire and during the colder months and it would warm, it would
46:42
warm up through that that that void, and you walk around and kick off
46:45
your fucking flip flops, your sandals, whip them off and still have your
46:50
tootsies nice and toasty, walking throughout your your Roman fort of sorts, it's
46:54
imperfect, Tom, I mean nobody, nobody will say that fire won't teach
46:59
you, but like carbon monoxide. No, you see, this is the
47:02
thing, the void. It's below the void. Again you have a subfloor
47:07
and it's below the subfloor. So allright, yeah, yeah, yeah,
47:10
yeah, not knocking them. It seems, you know, an that doesn't
47:15
strike me as being cold all that often. But sure they weren't. Yeah
47:19
you're thinking of just Italy. Rome was everywhere. Rome was as far as
47:22
the fucking setting sun at one stage, you know what I mean in their
47:24
eyes, like there was all the way to Bavilia, all the way to
47:28
fucking England in Carole Bastard Place. We talked about it very recently in our
47:36
what was named it The Tree got chopped Down episode the second more gap Tree.
47:39
What wall was it? Leaning against Adrian's Wall? That was the Romans
47:45
stretching seventy three fucking miles Jerry across Britain from walls End to the east of
47:53
brown Bounds and Soloway, which isn't really a wig in Scotland, but it
47:59
makes for way more interesting to say that it is. But it. Speaking
48:05
of which time, we told our listeners that we would give them an update
48:07
on the Sycamore Gap tree as and when more information came out. None has,
48:14
but it was almost certainly those two lads I've gotten. We have a
48:17
listener who is from not very far from there. He has the inside track,
48:22
and we were I'll relate to you on next week's episode. I will,
48:25
yeah, I will get some out of it on the air, because
48:28
that could be you know, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:30
That pesky scandal is Liabel thing built in one two two eight, and at
48:37
one stage it was four and a half meters high ure Hadrian's wall. Now,
48:45
think about what it sounds like when I describe it fully, So four
48:46
and a half meters wall to say a five foot person of the time would
48:50
have looked pretty fucking massive. Four and a half four and a half meters.
48:55
So you have just you have three foot four in every meter, right,
49:00
So now you're up close to probably thirteen foot high, like thirteen fourteen
49:04
foot high. You're looking up at this and there was sixteen forths eighty mile
49:08
castles and one hundred and sixty turrets along its length. Game of thrownes sound
49:15
any wow? I mean yeah, that's yeah, yeah, that's that's that's
49:19
the wall. That's the wall, that's as it is as it is these
49:22
days. Like you know, you said yourself, look, you'd vault a
49:24
thing, so you would. Yeah, any decent horse to get you can.
49:28
Also there's only three foot all four and a half meters four a half
49:30
fucking meters. You ain't getting past that. Now. They did build concrete.
49:36
They they made incredible concrete. They even made what concrete that could set
49:38
under water and everything else. Just so I throw it out there because we've
49:42
touched on concrete a lot, even though it would be deemed the relevant new
49:46
product. No, they invented very very good quality contract concrete. And finally
49:52
from from this is something we all love. There's a person going doesn't go
49:58
fucking class love that you're hanging jar, you're hanging or you're in around town
50:04
by yourself. You haven't time to be sitting down to grub and you're gonna
50:06
grab something. What would what would food at a pace be known as?
50:12
That would be deemed probably an American fucking invention, like sandwiches go go speedier
50:21
than that? What broad broader than that style of food? Junk food,
50:28
fast fast food. They invented fast food Prior to these lads, and probably
50:34
I still even circumnavigating these guys. We were all just would sit down to
50:39
a meal, and then you would not eat in between those meals. You
50:45
would sit down to a meal. There was no fast food. Grab it
50:49
can go right. The Romans, when they had ten thousand men, they'd
50:54
have an on the move around Britain and whatnot, did have food trucks.
50:59
They'd actually have k string trucks seriously would pull up and make actual burgers,
51:04
rinding up to ten thousand men who could eat it in their hands without having
51:07
to waste time sitting down to a big meal, getting out napkins, taking
51:10
off armor, all that bullshit. You could just walk up through the truck
51:15
and go, hey, hey, easy on the fucking mustard, give me
51:20
a saucy, give me a fucking boroger and whatever. Slice Yeah, let
51:23
me have a slice. So they would literally take it in their hand and
51:28
go walking and they didn't have to waste time setting up big meals, bringing
51:31
fucking big fucking shit just cooks. They would have fucking food trucks come along
51:37
on various different nice fucking grub. Yeah, I'd imagine it's like, you
51:40
know, here's a here's a ladle of like fucking stew in your hand,
51:45
which I would eat the fuck out of time. Don't get me wrong,
51:47
I'm not like turning the my nose of it. You give me a cup
51:50
of stew walking up the road. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well they actually
51:53
had, They would, They had images, and they had the depictions.
51:57
They found depictions of lads actually eating what would only be described as burgers,
52:02
two cut the bread, some minced mystery meat. Who knows it would have
52:07
been all right, It would have been fucking GMO free and organic back then,
52:10
anyway, I think even back then tom as with today, you don't
52:15
pull on that string. No oh no, no no, no, no,
52:17
no no no. If you're not sitting down to have a conversation about
52:21
it, then don't just stuffing in your mouth. Put your fucking helmet back
52:23
on and get back and row, do you know? And that's what the
52:28
Romans did for us, and that along with many other things like what the
52:30
aqueduct and whatnot. They love the fucking aqueduct. They didn't. They perfected
52:36
it again, but they didn't, you know, listen, I didn't.
52:38
I gotta tell you what to tell your time Okay, that's what the Romans
52:42
did for us, clarified for those that were in any doubt. And we've
52:45
told you what the Irish did for us. So now here's what you can
52:50

54:00
what else is the listeners can do. Get a tattoo of the Tom and
54:05

we said we'd cycle O'Neill O'Neill in New York. There you go, Riley
54:15
O'Neills make footballs. Oils make footballs. You want to get that sorted out.
54:20
You do not want a tattoo done by an O'Neills football. I got
54:24
one of them in the face when I was a child, let me tell
54:27
you, and I've left the tattoo on me for four weeks, but alreighty.
54:31

54:44
week may actually be the season finale of this season of The Tom and Jerry
54:47
Show. Thought I throw that in for us right now. We've got a
54:50
wonderful episode lined up for a big season closer, but it won't be a
54:53
season closer if we think of another great idea. But I don't think we're
54:57
going to tap this one time the right mind yourself, good luck, mhm.
