  Speaker 1: insulated screwdriver in my hand. I was fucking looking for
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that and or and a half ago to take a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: light fitting down. And I used a bad old bustard
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of a fucking yoke that you wouldn't see find at
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean. And just this minute sat
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: down to my desk and got the job done. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there's the fucking very yoke that I needed. Well wouldn't
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that make it make a dog as father?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: As the Fillas said, she has the time. You know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I was thinking it wasn't worth a while. Stolen me
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: on the way to the four segments.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But all I'm trying to do is just annoy you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: because you have a bit of a CD doesn't now?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Now you know that the screwdriver is safe and sound. Yeah,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Father's Day was yesterday. We record it on a Monday.

• 3:56
  Speaker 2: please get into this four segment here.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But all right, got you go.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Because this is big news. It's big news, don't you know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And the Tom and Jerry Show. We kick off the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: show every week with the big news, the noise, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: scuttle boat. Don't you know what it is, Tom, It's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the weekly what have you. This is a very complicated case,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: mod you know, a lot of a lot of outs,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of what have you, and uh, a lot
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of strands to keep in my head.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Man. This makes the rounds every so often, and there's it's.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Gonna they're gonna pull the trigger on this someday, and.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: They are gonna pull the trigger on it one Sunday
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: because it's getting to a point that it kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: needs to happen in a way because so many people
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: are flying now and so many people that like would
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: nearly put up with it because you put up with like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you put up with a lot of shite these days,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I mean everything from outrage. Do you know I got
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: charged a fiver the other day for a flat white?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Like I got charged twenty five per cent the other
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: day for a paper bag when we are talking about tramps,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know, Jesus, Mary and Joe.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So this is this is this is getting into holiday
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: season though, Thomas, this.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Is it so so again, things like this will they'll
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: eventually make it because we laughed at all the things
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that came down the line going there's no wait, there's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: no way there is.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: This is common though.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I think this is common, and I think it's right
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to get in ahead of it now so we can go.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We told you this coming, and this, of course is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the Ryanair suggestion for stand up birthing as they call it. Now.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's not quite a stand that they're suggesting. It's kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of a honker, you know what I mean. It's a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: bit of a lean back in your ass.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But it's yeah, it's it's what do you call it there,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a bair.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Thing, but they call it a birth Yeah, yeah right, So.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Basically basically for all intentsive purposes standing spaces on airplanes. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this has common. This came background in the news again.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: But this, as Tom said at the top of this,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this comes around every six months or so. So's going
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to do and like they will eventually pull the drag
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: around it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I think this is like a syop if you know
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like the conspiracy theories. So tell you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: about that. They'll drip it in a times where we go,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I go, right, would I what Jesus for twenty quid? Yeah? Forgot?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I fly to Glasgow for twenty quid if I have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to kind of half stand do.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You know it's it's it's about, roughly speaking, that what
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: they have for the stand up bar thing as they're
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: calling it. There's not now stand up birthing like you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: what you do like the third drimester here now this
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: is the stand up seats if you want. I can't.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I can't call them a stand up seat, but you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: know what it is. But it's very like a did
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you ever just like put the bottom line of your
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: arse cheeks on a bar stool?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. So you're still sitting on
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the barto, your feet are probably taking maybe forty weight
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: put your arses just getting it onto the stool, like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And so you're sitting back,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: so you wouldn't last like you're not going to America.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And that's that's But you you'd fly to you like
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I said, you fly to Glasgow, or you'd fly Cork
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to Dublin in a stuff work of Northern Ireland in it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You you would I do it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I can do it as well. Tom. I'll tell you
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: one thing though, if if I was flying over to Glasgow,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: because I know that's an up and down. You don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: get to drink all your Heinechen in a Glasgow flight
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: forty five minutes. But then what you have to consider
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: as well is you're probably going to be standing sitting
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: on the tarmac for forty five minutes this side of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it and half an hour on the other side of it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So suddenly standing for forty five minutes becomes standing for
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: two hours, and that's postion.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, but you see, I think you've kind of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a you've given a free license to kind of do
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a bit of a wonder when you do get onto
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the tarmac, because that outshoud of like at that stage
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the whole notion of putting the safety keep your safety
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: built on. Why because if we hit the ground in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this position, I'm a yeah, I'm a fucking fence post.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Here's the other thing as well, like it would have
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: to rewrite everything we know about playing safety should it
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: ever happen, because your life jacket is stored underneath your seat,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: all right, well where the fox's mine? Yeah, please make
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: sure that you're is in the overhead cabinet. No such thing,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: No overhead cabinet. So this is just for people that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: are walking onto a plane with their phone in their
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: pocket and nothing else that are willing just to stand
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and up and down over to the other side. Criminals, Tom,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: people on the run, runaways.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: That was literally my time as well. If I was Yeah,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: if you just wanted to duck out of society for
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a bit, like this is the way to go, because
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in all faces, it's domn near like taking a ferry,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like that, I don't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: think they'd be allowed to ask you for even I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: D you know what I mean. I think that's the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: trade off. If you're going to put up with absolutely
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: like scandless levels of discomfort of discomfort, then I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they don't even ask.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You for I D let you go, just let you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: walk on like just like the Lewis it's it's it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: common Tom, And I'll tell you why it's coming. Because
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: there's literally nothing that they can cut anymore, any sort
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of little comfort that is on a Ryanair or any
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: other budget airline, any comfort that there may have once
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: been is not there anymore. They don't put a sick
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: bag in the pouch in front of you on the seat,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and I'll give you a better one on some of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the new planes. There's no pouch in front of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: seat at all. And I don't also know how much
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: money you saved not putting a pouch on a seat.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'd say it's a waiting, is it? Do you know
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Do you know what it is? If you put a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: pouch in the front of the seat, you have to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: send someone in on the other side to clear it out,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to make sure sure someone nobody left Rubbert Johnny in
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it or anything like that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I reckon where what's coming next year is they're going
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to be giant drones, these planes. There'll be no fellas
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: up the front or ladies relax, there'll be nobody up
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the front. And now you've bought yourself another ten foot
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I reckon to be
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a computer flying it up and flying it down. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: reckon there we lads anymore cutting corners or come and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: turned the path on over? Do you know what I mean?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Or whatever? There'll be no hell exactly.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: The next thing that's come and out of these is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: taking the tilets out of the plane. It's a forty
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: five minute flight. You can hewl it one hundred percent
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: right and take the tilets out and put in two
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: more rows. And that's another six people, and that's another
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty Serlan in their pocket.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I reckon too if you like they, you know they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: there is kind of compartments and whatnot for those those
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: lockers that they roll down to cell you a cup
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of tea, even on the short ones. I reckon the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: way to fuck.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: With that, do you know what I mean?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, get away with that, Get away with that, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have one big Eastern European fella just walking up and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: down the aisle. He'll he's don't do nothing for you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's just making sure, noney you kick off, and then
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you've done away with your flight attendants as well. I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not trying. I'm not advocating getting rid of like giving people,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the boot and three forty fives and but
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this is just the way I see it going, is
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that if you're going to tighten up in things, you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: need to get a few bodies out of there that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: aren't paying. You need to get a bit of bit
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of real estate. I eat the cockpit cheese just as
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: full of fucking stuff up the front wheat and brushes
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: whatever else they keep up there, and fellas so I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: reckon get them out of there, AI brain inside the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: thing that a flight to hell over like a tesla.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Now we're into into real savings. Now I reckon to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: be cheaper than going on the bus.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Now I can, Now, I reckon, I can get my
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: eighteen year Rayan air flight down to fourteen euro.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every penny counts. I don't see why.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I mean there was there was, and then spend that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: savings on a six year o coffee in the airport.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But the woon't let me bring on the plane.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: There was. I know there was one, all right. That
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it did the rounds and more than any it was
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: brilliant for its outrage was a fat tax. They were
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: going to just anybody fat or large people Like if
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you're the big unit of a rugby player or something,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you were getting charged because of the physical weight and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: burden you were putting I suppose on the fuel tank
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: versus I suppose if you needed two seats because you're
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a prop forward or whatever, You're paying for two seats.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And that was just the way it is. But there
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was outraging off. They were like no, no, no, no, no,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you can't quantify your fellaw's weight on how much petical
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is being used, so they to back down from that one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: But I hate to say, Tom, they'll fucking do it yet,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: so the will I can't. I mean, they did it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like they they made they made the allowance or what
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: is a ten kilos carry on twenty five kilos in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the underneath, and that's your that's your that's your cut off.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So I mean, he's the reason.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I suppose if you're walking up there and you've got
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know, an eight kilo bag and you know twenty
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: kilo or stow away back and you're, you know, a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: noomenal sized person, they're going, well, I'm taking all the boxes.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Then the unit like a fringe of a human steps
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: up behind you, and he's got the full thing, the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: whole lot. He's got the ten and the twenty five.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And you're like, you know what, never mind your bags.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Let you're about seventy kilos over what we're talking about here.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Now we're gonna have to sit you in the middle,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on the on the floor. The size you So I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: think I think, I think you might be right there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I'd say it's coming.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: The more the more you talk about this, Tom, the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: more I'm eating into me savings here now because I
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: have a funny feeling whatever Limited had a couple of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: E had a couple of heavy weekends. Brother, But there
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you go, there you go. And while we're on the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: subject of budget airlines and all that, we're never going
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to donate a whole segment to it. But priority boarding,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: have a fucking look at yourself. Have catch a hell
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to yourself. If you book priority boarding on anything, what
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: priority are you? What time does it save?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Have a ward with yourself? Please thank you?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: There was I think right at the beginning, for the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: first week of it, it made sense. It was like, oh,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: nobody's gotten on this yet, you know what I mean?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And you go in and if you needed to sleep
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: off a hangover, which the one only time I think
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a book priority was coming back from Amsterdam, so you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: know yourself. And I was just able to I didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: have to lie on the floor, and which it would
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: seem lots of people did. And for whatever reason I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: seem to have twenty minutes extra on the plane. Other
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: than that, I've never seen it be a benefit.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Neither of I. I pride myself Tom and being the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: last son of a bitch to step for on the plane.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That's it. I'm in no rush to get on that thing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: No no rush to get through this show either. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we are going to move on to the next segment. Buddy,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: enjoy your holidays wherever you're going. And if you find
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: yourself standing up, let us know in the comments.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Let us know they can't.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Stand up for two minutes on a plane, they just
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: sit your ass down.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: If you've ever had to deal with an unbearable moment
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: on a rhiner, not just a Rinder flight, but a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: budget flight, we were like, well I paid. You know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you play with the beast and this is what you get.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You know, everybody wants the honey, nobody wants the bees.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Come here, listen. That's those lads. Tom. Let's move on
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to the next segment of the show because I am
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: looking forward to talking about this week's this lad. Then,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: anybody who's new to the show, what do you mean
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: this lad? Well? You know every week there's lots of lads,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: but through them all shines one and you say, this lade.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Now there's that guy.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of this lad.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: We love this lad. We're going to China for this lad. Time.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: We haven't been to China for for for this lad
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in a while. I don't think every now and then
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll we'll find some.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's only fair we get to China every so
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: often because let's be honest, there's over a billion little leads,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: so then they are a world away in you know
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean from what we do, so it's always
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: interesting to see what they're up. Then sometimes it's completely unrelatable,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but I think what this chap did is absolutely relatable.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: In fact, he could be from back the road from here.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: More on that in a second. So we're heading off
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to the Jizu Province and listen to China. I hope,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I hope I gave that fair, fair, fair, fair Jews.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: But it's in southwest China, and this lad is a
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: chap called Chen ching Ming, and Chen is a local
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: man in the in the Jizu province, and he stood
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: up for himself in a way that I love to see.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: A giant building contractor came in to level the village
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: and put in a massive like pleasure resort, slides and
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: water parks and all this kind of crack and pretty
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: much level the whole town. And Chen said, not my house,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: not my fucking house, not my house. This is this
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: is a phenomenon that I have no as any time
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen it. It has been over in the East,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in in China and in Japan. The concept of a
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: nail house, Tom, have you heard of a nail house?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And you got is that the best to uice forage nails?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: To put it all together?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: No, a nail house is the one holdout that will
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: not sell to a developer. And the developer comes and
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: develops all around them and digs it out. The one
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: house just stands there on a pillar of dirt like
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: a nail. It stands uh and and chen is is
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: is owner and living in a nail house, which I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: gotta tell you for sticking it to the man would
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: be almost enough to get him on this lad. If
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: he wasn't this lad, he'd get an honor re shouter,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: would you? And that alone?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: You keep skimming around the fact that he's got a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: house that he hasn't he won't budge on. This is
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: no house, Jerry. This is a ten story wooden't death
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: trapped castle that I absolutely love. Like when I first
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: saw the headline, I went, oh, class, there's going to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: be some you know, modern take on the Takeshi's castle
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: vibe thing not a dull. This thing is straight outed. Next,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: this is straight out of apocalyptic dreams like this is amazing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: The gin drove on and essentially the village what that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: was there was kind of built anyway. It was a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: very much a touristy spot. And what was driving them bananas,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: not just the developer of the locals too, was that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: while you might be trying to sell because apparently the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: place is beautiful, mad looking mountains around there, and people
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: would flock there and whatnot. And while you be thinking
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that they're all going to, you know, go on the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: tours and stuff to go up the mountains, the world
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of people were heading over to Chin's place because Chen
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: is such a mad whore. He built now ten stories.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Like I don't want you to picture ten stories in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: your head. I want you to picture sitting down with
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the child and taking every sort of item around the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: sitting room and just saying, can you get it to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: go up ten floors and you'll get narrow and narrower
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: as you go, and you might find this is top
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: one at nine. They're only one way to tie this down.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And literally Chen has ropes tying it to the earth
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: like this thing fucking sways in the wind.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Not only has Chen not left his house when the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: order came in twenty eighteen, he did not sell the developer.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: He told them not only am I not leaving my house,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to build more. That's how much I fucking
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: hate you. And he has. As Thomas said there wards,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: can't describe this. This is like a Swiss family Robinson
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: tree house that is just literally built. It can't be
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: described as a house anymore, Tom. This is like he
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: moved into an orange order bonfire.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Yes pretty sure doesn't Irish flag with the pope.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And yeah yeah, kill all takes is written on the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: side of it. Chen is an industrious sort, and I
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like to think this is kind of what I would
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: do myself. Is when the developer came in and leveled
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: all the other houses around him, Chen went around and
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: gathered up all the plywood and all the rooms and
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: an RSJ or two here or there, and a bit
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: of cable and maybe a bit and he used all
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of that material. He didn't go down to lows now,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: he didn't go down the woodies and buy any of this.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: He just found it. And brought it back and he
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: has built himself.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Ninety four treehouse, ninety four cabby houses all stuck together. Basically,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that's what it looks like. And I absolutely love it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And he's got you know, he's got the Chinese lanterns
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: hanging off it as well, just to give it a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: bit authenticity. And here's the thing, Like the Chinese lads
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: are not frightened of Venton because if you ever watch
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: even some of their big buildings that they are building
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in cities, they have no bother in building twenty floors
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: twenty lifts of scaffolding out of bamboo. So like Chen,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: in all fairness, him is as balls of steel built
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: into his generations are probably just giving it a go
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: because he sleeps in the tenth floor. And as he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: says to himself, because people often think it's unsafe, it
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't think it should be demolished. He says, I feel
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: like I'm living part of my dream. You're like, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: can't argue with that man. He's only thinking about like
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: it's only him, it's going to harm if it comes
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: over he's living. He's like, that is the ultimate we thought.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: We Every so often a lad has to qualify for
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a few things. But we love the little guy and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: we love the rebel. And Chen is an out and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: out outlier rebel. I love it. He doesn't give a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: fucking give. It's swaggling all over the tail like a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: happy dog. And Chin is up the top by lumberjack
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: short on him, tombs up. How are the leads? I'm
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: away to bit And.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing for China. He's not like some surly
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: old man.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: He's four.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: He's younger than any of us, like he's a young gason.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: And he started this in twenty eighteen, so we started
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: when he was running about thirty five or whatnot. And
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: he's doing it purely out of spite and development. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: they are throwing every order at him, every demolition order,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: every what do they call it compulsory their government? What
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: do they have to buy land of the issue a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: compulsory compulsory compulsory purchase order or something like yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, jeez, there is something that there is a term.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: But it's like that they they've thrown everything. But at
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: this stitch, you see, it's it'll be bad tacos to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: go knocking it on him now, you.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Know, because it is a massive tourist attraction.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: That's what's happening. There's loads of people Instead of going
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: up the mountains far LuxI, they're going to Chen's place.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And Chen, of course it probably is only not charging
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: him with Bean. I just delighted to show it off
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and probably I would. I would wager if we showed
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: up there tomorrow year, Jen would allow us to do
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: add on a bit for ourselves.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The Tom and Jerry Wing like, get.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Her up a couple of bits supply there because it
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: all looks it definitely looks like you found it somewhere,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: do you know that kind of way? It is absolutely salvaged,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: every bit of it. None of it looks like he
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: ordered any he proposed be like he went at this,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: as Jerry said, he went rifling around the bits and pieces.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Which is even more hilarious.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: That the development money was spent on this.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The developers accidentally built it like back in the day.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know some of the the the the the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: seaside towns of Cork, Southern Cork, like kin Sale and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: cross An, especially cross sn henry Ford. A lot of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the houses there have to be tanked up. The houses
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: now that working millions have to be thanked for by
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the Henry Ford of the care fame. He had a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: depot slash. I mean it wasn't a it was a factory,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: but it was reassembling for model T forwards because he
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: had great pride in the fact that he was of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Irish descent. And there's still a Ford technically a Ford.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I suppose what would you call it headquarters in Cork.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So he'd send them back, he send them over dismantled.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: They'd be reassembled and distributed throughout Ireland in the UK
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: from Cork. But what they'd come in would be a giant,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: giant well built now that they shout out ply well
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: built crate and should his crates were just thrown to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: one side, stacked up in sheets, and people from poorer
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: people from the likes across saving and can say, would
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you believe it? They had him back then, poor people
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and they'd mount him up on basically the fucking cliff edge,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: which turned into high end palisade properties because you just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: build on and build on, much like chain, and then
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: when you get a bit more few quid, you go
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: should look with by a few blocks and built outside
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the walls, and we'll build on and we'll built on
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: him before you know what. Now you've got a three
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: thousand square foot, three million euro mansion hanging over the kip.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And but they were all based from the Chin idea
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of salvage ply and tack it onto the side of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a mountain and hope for the fucking best.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: You never lost money betting on the Corkman and Chen.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Do you know what, Chen, I'd say, it'll be a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: place for you, lad, if you ever want to come
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to Ireland, because the Corkonians would absolutely love that sort
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of spirit. To be fair, anybody in rural Ireland would
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: love to carry on a Chen. Right now, like I'm
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: in awe of chain. There's about nine Chen's within about
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: four miles of a year. I'll tell you that. Here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Now there's a Chin. I could nearly hit his place
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: with a slitter tom he he pulled up Chin. Now,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love if Chen was listening to this, because this
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: fellow pulled off the greatest movie.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: You think Chen's getting Wi Fi in that place?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Do you know what, I wouldn't doubt it. Chen could
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: probably fucking see us from where he dies. The best thing,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: which there's a chapter on the road here. Wait you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: hear this one. He's not going to listen. I'll tell
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you that about it. But he has he's mister Salvage.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter now. I'm sure maybe the fingers have gotten
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: a bit lightly announce for the years. But he has
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a bit of everything, and if you needed a bit
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you could pop down to him. But he's all the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: time wheeling the deal. And he's a nice enough fellow.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But I spotted this one day. That's a fine looking
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: shad he's after putting below there. That costs money. I'd say,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, a might that's a fine looking thing. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: what did he do? He there was a Scouts I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: suppose fucking what would you call it? There's a there's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a scout. It's not a shelter. They give it a name,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: but it's just a for all world a Scouts cabin.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: But a fine thing. But we're not gonna to put
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: in a block built one, and they were just gonna
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: rip it out of it. Well, my man went in.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: There were tractors and trailers. I had a couple of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: lads and had the whole thing up and out and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: back up again with a few editions. Because there was
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a bit right raggedy a few additions and had a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: back up over a weekend. Now, this fucking thing, I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: will tell you there absolutely needs planning permission. Nobody said not,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: nobody said not going on here. It's the finest evermore
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and he's tacked on a few bits around it, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I kind of like it's rugged.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Look now, the only thing better than planning permission tims
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: plan forgiveness. Well, there you go. Chen is continuing to
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: fight the good fight in China. We're gonna be you
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: won't believe this place show you. We're going to show
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: it to you on the social media channels. But before
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: we get to that, before we get to all this nonsense,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Tom Chen is building what I would have loved in
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: my childhood, which is a massive treehouse. I would often
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: have tried to build dens and things like this, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: this would be my absolute dream. But you know, we
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: ain't kids anymore, Tom, or we haven't been for some time.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: We've we've we've grown up on awful lot and we've
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of things along our time. And that's
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: what we reminisce upon in our final segment of the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry Show, which is called We Remember When
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: when I was a young lad twenty or thirty or
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: forty years ago.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I brought it up at the beginning of the of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the podcast because Jerry is a bit dusty around the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: edges right now. It's been a weekend for him, the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: poor Devilo.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's been rough on Tom. Every now and then,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: we remember when technology took hold in Ireland, or we
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: remember political upheaval, or we remember something special, But every
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: now and then we just remember a time when things
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: were a little fucking easier. And that's what I am
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: feeling today because I remember when a hangover was a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: one day thing, or if it even accord at all,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: or even a chord.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: At all, when you went back that far like you could,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you go, you just feel it. I used to actually
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: enjoy the feeling that should be a hangover, do you
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? When I was nineteen, we'll say,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: in college, I'd actually there was a case in this
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: tour I go, oh. I think it was almost like
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: my body was going, you're a low to eat pure shite. Now, yeah,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you want for the whole day.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you to him, there's a level
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: of a hangover where it's just you knew you were
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: drinking and a couple of coffee just tastes like the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: most magical thing in the world. And you step outside
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: the front door on the fresh airheads and you're like, oh,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: that's that's good and you can get there. But now
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: that I've crossed forty cross forty five nearly, ah, these
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: bastards are something else.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Now it's it's training too, you see. I discussed this
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: with a fellow there reacently, who's it be a fair
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: animal for the drink and he reckoned his training and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you can't just do you know, mean much like as
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you were saying that your body is a bit beaten
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: up after gigging two nights over the weekend. Yes, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: it's all about match fitness. He reckoned and a fair
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: point actually on that point. But now the same fella
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: will hit it Thursday, Friday and Saturday, do you know,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And Friday in especially Saturday, that'll get a fair whipping,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you know. So I don't know with the other four
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: days where he's just only coming back around and you're
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: hitting again, does the body just goes do you know what?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Let's just stay here, let's just stay in a place
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of and you just get used to that kind of
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: rough edge all the time, or maybe his body can
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: just fucking take it.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing, right, here's the thing. Now that I
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: am nearly forty five, I start to see alcohol for
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: what it is. To We've talked about alcohol down through
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the years and the Tom and Jerry Show and various
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: guys and whatnot, but what it really is, what it
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: genuinely is, and I can see it for what it
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: is now. It's a poison. It's literally poisoning your system.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But normally you only let it poison you so far
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: that it doesn't sick in you, or it pisons you
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: so that your mind gets a little bit giddy and foggy.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Is like, it's really like breathing in just a little
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: bit of carbon monoxide and you'll be all right in
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: an hour time. More than past forty five. That poison
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: stays in the body for a longer time. And I
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: have to tell you, Tom, Lucas adsport gets consumed high
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: rate around this house, so it does.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'd be honest with you. The last good cutoff that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I had it was a Saturday night and it was Wednesday.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Tell the telling the God's hand hand on the Bible.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: It was Wednesday before I came back around again, before
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh Jesus Christ, Oh Jesus Christ. I
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: was banje ext on the third. On the Sunday, kept
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: on trying to not admit it to myself because I'm
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: because I'm just but ignorant.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: That way just ch used to be enough to get
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: you through, and.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You think, so Monday, geez still And all I could
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: think on Monday was just must be forget the cold
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: More on this in the second right. More on this
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: is in the second Go.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: On Monday evening, I'm God, Jesus Christ, I'm away a bit.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: At about seven o'clock, I'm not.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not well. I'm not a well man. And even
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: take me out into the throw me in a hedge
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: and bury me. Even Tuesday, I was like, I'm not
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: shaking this stuf. I started taking like cold and flu
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: things that and all it was the heinegen flu.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: That's all I had.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: That's all it was.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Geez Christ.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And that same thing time when you were a young man,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: when you were twenty two or twenty three, you would
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: have woke up and it it would have been not awful.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: But by lunchtime You'll be like, oh, that was rough
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: there for an hour or two, that's all like.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And you you would lastly, in a good breakfast, roll
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: into a big strung coffee and you do not I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: need no more would be needed. You we weren't going
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: pricking around with remedies, with minding yourself. The amount of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: people you say, oh, have a glass of water left
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: by the nights and I'm like, I am knocking that over.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm I am definitely not leaving a full vessel of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: liquid anywhere near the bed.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you better what I'm doing. Tom isn't going
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: to drink the whole thing before I go to bed
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: and fall asleep.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: What's the what's the most evil thing here? Here's what
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I wanted to cycle back to you. Tom. There. Now
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: you're you're wondering, like, you know, what is it? What
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: is it? What is it? I'm just gonna put this
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: out here as a bit of a a bit of
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: a talking point. I don't fully believe it, but every
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: now and then I'll kind of go, this couldn't just
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: be me. Now. I know I'm not the freshest man going,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: but I'd like to think that I've drank consistently over
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: the last thirty years, Like I've never I've gone dry
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: for six months at the time here and there, but never,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: you know, never to the level that my body would
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: forget it, do you know what I mean? So it's
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: not like I'm an amateur, right, Yeah, cross forty into
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: forty five, and that's like, you know, everything starts to
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: hit you like a ton of shit in the morning. Right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: So my question to use this now, is it the drink?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Has something changed in drink?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Do you know? Like, this isn't a conspiracy podcast, right,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you know, at the same time, it couldn't.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Just be my feeble liver cutter answer from your own
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: question here.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, we could turn around and we could try
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and do a huge study on this, right, but and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: we may put a question and actually pull out. Is
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it the drink or is it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Anybody listening to Homns screaming at our phone going like
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: it's the drink? Yeah, butt, Like, but go on, I've
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: got I've got one to I've got one to yea.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Because and here's why it could be a possibility, right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: here's why it could be a possibility. I remember always
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for a day, you'd have some kind of a bit
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: of a hangover. What you hand a good battern? Different, Yes,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and everything changed for me and I had it in
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: several countries. I've had it hangovers in lots of places.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I had a hangover in Vegas where I genuinely thought, now,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: this was a hangover after three days. This is day
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: four of seven. On day four I had accepted death,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, Like, yeah, I drank
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: one time and this is for a full week, right
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: as I had wont to do at the time. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: went skiing in Austria. The only beer available was a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: local beer. There was no Heindek and there was no guinness.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: There was nothing for the tourists to get, you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: love a bit of home, none of that fuck you.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: You're drinking what we're drinking.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: And you're drinking what the locals are drinking, and.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Its just slopped down to here from this woman that
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: bring you know, did bring it to the two you
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: weren't going. It was one of them kind of places.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: We didn't hatch at the bar. It was just dropped
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: down to you and right around here. I didn't have
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a hangover the entire week. Now some people could say, well,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: it's the the altitude, the altitude and affect that you're
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: sweating and out for, you know, I mean even down
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: at the breakfast table, I was just tired, that's all.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: It was curious, and I came away going and my
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: mate was there going, do you know what is It's
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that because we asked your man was good,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is this the altitude? Because no, he says, there's like
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: four ingredients at most in our beer.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: That's it, and and and and and most beers will
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: claim that as well, that there's only four or five
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: ingredients in it, and there's no none of the Southampton
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: sixth in it. But the more these things start to
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: battle me, Tom, the more I'm thinking that there's got
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to be got to be something about it now. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: here's the thing I want to say this. Now alcohol
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: has changed in our times, we may as well get
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit of the flavor of what we remember
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: when because we lived through the introduction of Alcoho pops,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the smyrnop ice, christ Yeah, Cardi breezers, things that weren't
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: there before, but they are there. They are here now
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: like we were the guinea pigs.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: For all that they must have gone back a bit
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: too to have the jerin. People aren't still drinking Blue
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Wicked early.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: And drinking for local and dragon soup and all this
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: kind of kind of stuff. There's a lassie up the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: north now I have a lot of time for. She
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: has an Instagram and her name is Danielle Wallas. She
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: ever see her, and she'll mix She'll she'll do Instagram
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: reels of herself mixing up drinks before night out, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: she'll mix up some fucking tar. So she will, and
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be like a drop of this and a splash
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: of that, and it will be purple in color. And
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: her her bit is that she necks it in one go.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: She has a straw bit the size of a wavon
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: pipe and she'll just vanish that thing in one.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people suggest people to follow
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: all the time to be like ah, but genuinely, everything
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: you're saying there it sounds fascinating.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It genuinely is. I'm gonna I'm going to send you one.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: She's and and she she seems to be good crack.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: But all that, all that sort of purple stuff. I
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: don't drink any of that, right, So I can't say oh,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: it was when I started drinking red bus bawls. That's
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: when I started getting hangovers. But surely, to christ, if
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you're drinking red dog green bus balls, or you're drinking
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: these fucking test tubes that drink or some such, they're
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: not just drinking that. Surely there's the Southampton six playing
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: hell which your gods.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't make anything. I don't care a color
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't fucking his nature. We talked about this and
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the skittle then, Like, if you're drinking WKD or as
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I like to call it, West Carry Diesel, there's no
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: fucking way that ship can be that good like that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's there's nothing coming out
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: like that's anti freeze is the other stuff that that's
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that color? You know what I mean?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: You know it's it's it's very like, it's very It
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: looks like the inside of an airwax plug in, you know,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: like the liquid sloshing around and airwics plug in.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's in agreement with that. If you're taking
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: on a load of extra E numbers and toxins, it
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: ain't good for you now smoking forty bns and ain't
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: good for either now Also, I've had one of the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: purest drinks of all time, Paul Jean, which is next
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to no additives at all. Not well so I'm told anyway,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: this particular one. But I woke up all right. But
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: when I drank water, I've talked about this a few
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: times in about it reactivated, I was scuttered again. So
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: that was a whole different level like going over. I didn't.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I've often heard that now and I often considered admit no,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: But I've heard.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: It one hundred happened, And I'm never the person who
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the myth happens to. I'm always like what na. I
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: was the healthiest out of all of us, and I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be the one driving from Godway back
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to Cork at two o'clock that day. But while watching
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: whatever football match were watching, they were all having a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: couple of hairs of the dog as they were. I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: e cider for some reason, Sider seems to be a
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: hair of the dog for his heads. I was under
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: my waddy, my waddy. If anybody wondering, it's just what
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: was a cordial curia? And yeah, I was fucking langers
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: by the second one. I went, well, I ain't driving
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: no place big rosy cheeks on me. May as it
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: get back in the beer to sober up.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Hark it up? Yeah, so't I can't. It's it's odd.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Now I can't explain these things to But I also
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: can't explain why four pints of Heineken has me on
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: day two dying.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Well. I think definitely Heineken has changed. As you name Heinegn.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's changed. It blows the conquerors off me
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: or whatever is in. I can have other beers, but
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: whatever is in heineg in these days, I mean suffered
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: in the sweet Jesus Christ. Now there are remedies, and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: everybody will give you a different remedy. Just going to please,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I'll chop out and off as they call the hair
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of the dog, which was came from kind of a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: mental scenario back when there's a lot of rabbit dogs
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: they reckon that you f you much like our chap
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: having the eight hundred bites venom. If you have a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: little touch of the old rabbit bite, it can actually
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: it can't help you output. The ancient Assyrians felt painful,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know, after effects of excess merriment. They could doumed.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Now look at this could be there for you to
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: get there. I don't know, maybe your local headwood shop
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: has this stuff, but they would consume a mixture of
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: ground bird beaks and.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Mirror, more like what went to our Lord.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that now in a second. What's what
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: all the murb mr? So it's a murrh, it's it's
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's just a kind of a mental guy.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: It's not the murder like that Jesus got. It's not
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the same mur but it's not far off it. It
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: is like a perfecal if team in the Middle Ages.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: In Britain, doctors which you might okay, days and there
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to be believed, they recommended raw eel and bitter amens
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: m hm. And it's straight.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, I think all you're doing
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: is trade in one secness for another.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Well, the Mongolians, who are the hardest bastards of all time,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: they ate pickled she buys. Yeah, yeah, but here we go.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Just like Jesus, Like, Tom, you're not gonna notice the pain,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: You're like if a kick in the balls.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Like, well, that's what I That's what I have to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: talk about. These ice bats that people go. It's lovely
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: when the pain wears off, like, yeah, we just don't
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: get kicked in the fucking nuts. China, We're all doubt
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: China have been ahead of this for years. They've always
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: been on the green tea, and green tea is still
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: knocking around these days, right. Germans to this day is
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: still eat caught a flu stoock. Yeah, it's a breakfast.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: They usually consist of harrying pickles and blue lash.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, look, go on, have you anymore?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I have?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: The Russians make it a point not to eat anything
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: at all, hard as fuck, but they'll jump. They'll jump
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in the sauna to sweat it out, sometimes flagellating themselves
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: with birch branches to aid blood flow.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see there's a bit of science behind that, man.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Now the Italians
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: have been to use it and still to this day
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: use one from the eighting from like the mid eighteen hundreds,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a fella called no brunk and shape the head gave
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: for no reasons, well developed a qre all that's always
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: a fucking dangerous snake oil called fernet, and like I'm
• 41:10
