• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I had my own at the weekend, and if anybody
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: follows me on Instagram, I had to come clean about
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it because to the point that if it made my
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: wife actually cry for fifteen minutes and get an asthma
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: attack from laughing, I figured it was worth just coming
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: clean and telling the truth. Gover. I won forty five
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when I got into the bed Friday night, so that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: became twenty nearly twenty three hour day, pretty tired up
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the next morning. Up the next morning for early haircuts
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: with Keelan shut out. He's a great man. Listen to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the podcasts in the barbers in there for half eight
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and he'll say, I had to feed more than the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: young flow. I'm out with seven The next morning, jar
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: reaching around in the kind of walking part I don't always.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It's a room work,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: our clothes are and I didn't turn the light on.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I reached out crab what I thought was a T
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: shirt of mine. It wasn't as I draw on a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hoodie out the gap. And it wasn't until I had
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: did this robe inside the barbers that I realized I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was wearing a kind of.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Slinky number earlier.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: The sleeves, do you know what? It would have been
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: more masculine had there been no sleeves at all on it, right,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like a wife beater. But it actually had little sleeves,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: little girly sleeves that just come off the shoulder. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: neck was quite loose, and it was halfway up my
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: belly button, and it was it was canary yellow and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: inside out Jesus Christ Tom. Yeah, but to be fair, Jar,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: when you're did low. The town's local comedian, the barber,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: who is also a sound skin, probably up since half six,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: himself cut in the hair, he said nothing. He was like, pass,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: no remarks, past, no remarks because also it's not like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm the local solicitor, do you know what I mean?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But then I get home thinking, then I got to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: go straight to Jay training. As you know, I'm at
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: coach now, mister coach, I'm the angry coach. Even at that,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I'm the bad guy.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Oh you're you're You're not the cool guy.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not. No, no, oh no. I thought
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I would be Jared. That's what I thought my role
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: would be. And then it turns out I'm actually I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: don't know if anybody saw on my Instagram. Also my
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: wife who came along and knows what my temper is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: about to flare up before I do. She came to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: football training and no one full well she was in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for retreat, saw me being the rowdy coach. Look and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: yung FLEs out of at age six, and while her
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and all the mothers roared laugh and she went onto
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: AI and made a culmination of me and Kim Jong
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: owned with a Gaelic football and yes, so I came
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: outside and I came clean. I'd go to train and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: keep the hood tightly tied up. And when I came
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: back home with you never guess what I'm wearing, So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: what probably am worried that I was her underwear? I zipped,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: unzipped and showed her. And at that point she sped
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: her coffee all over the fucking the kitchen, fucking counter
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and proceeded to get an asthma attack for fifteen minutes
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: because she left so fucking hard. Even if I may
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: go out and if I mentioned that or pointed that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: T shirt, now that woman is inconsolable for the next
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: five minutes. It's she enjoyed that much. So anybody go
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to my Instagram show watch watch a middle aged man
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just come clean with society. It was my open letter
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to society that this can happen to even the best
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of us. I malfunctioned that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I feel so bad now Tom, that i'd and have
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: time to throw on a pair of the shower and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: arrived here to do the Tom and Jerry show. Still
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: damp for you, find, folks, that's just.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: What you're forgiven from my side anyway, given to carry
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on of me over the weekend. It's it's that I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: give you the backstory, but still all the same, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's kind of unforgiven to end up in that scenario.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But I think people people enjoyed my fall because they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: came to the comedy club and care that night and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: at least nine different people started shouting up, what what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: T shirt? I was wearing under my shirts?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah? If I was you, I just rock up wearing
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that T shirt?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Ever, why not? Why not get a whole bunch of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: them just for the hell of it? Like, but it did.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It did look like I was ready for fame the musical.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: That's all I'll tell you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: If you want to wonder with the core of young
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: lads what I wear in the way, not to jump
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: ahead in the show, but what the young lads are
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: wearing these days. I wouldn't say you looked out of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: place in the fucking slightest.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Probably probably not, actually now you mention probably yeah, probably
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of those likes on Instagram were just people
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: going nice.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Nice you. You come back in a week's time, and
• 6:06

• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You didn't win the mullet argument.

  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I wanted.

  Speaker 2: It was a ship the hothouse flowers heading me. My god, damn,
• 6:37

  Speaker 1: dominant number one crime, you know, low level crime level,
• 7:18

• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There's almost no cracking murdering, like do
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? There's a bit of crack
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and there's a definitely a bit that kind of show.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Definitely a bit of crack in this one because we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we like to see the Europeans just get a bit
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of kicking the arts because they're a bit smarmy with
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: their good weather and all the rest of it. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and also, I mean, who doesn't like to see a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: huge multi national monster haveing They have their wings clipped
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: ever so slightly. And this is Nestley the guy. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: CEO of ESLE said that this guy came out a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago Jared and said water wasn't a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: human right, it should be sold by me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So from the official Tom and Jerry stands on, Neslie
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: is fuck Nesley.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Nesley and shit much like bears a bear
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: eating at a fucking nesle a shit.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Well, bears ain't even eating Nesle these days. Tom, what happened?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So what happened, and I love the way they'd left
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it a bit murky. Four hundred, four hundred and thirteen thousand,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and ninety three kid cats were fixed Jerry
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: truck and all went absolutely sends abscondiondo after leaving a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: unit in wait for it Italiano and just the low
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: jack system that was on at the driver's tracker, everything
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: just disappeared. It was en route to Poland, and I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: guess much like you know Second World War story, this
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: one didn't make it to Poland just.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Didn't make it. Didn't Irish man just didn't make it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Just didn't make it to Poland. And like that, they're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: they're looking all sorts. So it was in it came
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: out like they were saying that. The first people to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: spell about it, of course was Agence France Presse, which
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: are like, you know, liquip on one of these there
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: because Nesle of course there's a French company. They were like,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: we got people this one why it is? And this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: came yeah, this came to This came to light because
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it reached over twelve that's twelve tons of kit cats here.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You see, I had gotten the number that it was
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: twelve tons of kit cats. And I hadn't that hadn't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: been broken down to me as to how many bars
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it is? How many bars is twelve tons?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Did you say four hundred and thirteen seven hundred and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: ninety three?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, so now a million kit cats in the wind?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean at we'll say gross price net
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: price in the shop, let's say two fifty a bar.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: These days, I'm guessing you're looking at close to a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: million a million euro million to kill kit cats.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: That's a lot to.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Fit in any rock, Like you know what I mean,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It's not to me, Like.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I had never not once in my life,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: but until I heard this story, had I thought of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: how a KitKat gets transported because I've only ever seen
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in the in the outer sleeves, you know, like an
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: outer sleeve of kit cats. And there's like I don't know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: like turkey bars in a in an outer sleeve, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you see some of them like packed up in the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: back of a shop or some such before they get
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: put out on the on the on the aisles by
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the teenagers. You know. Like just to me, I'd never
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: seen two boxes of kit cats, let alone one hundred
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: thousand boxes of it. And I've never dawn on me
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: that Oh yeah, I guess, I suppose, I said to myself,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I guess most graves has ten or fifteen of them
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: on the shelves. But it's it's boggled in my mind
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to think of a lorry full of.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Kit cats a lorry. Fully you think, yeah, you wouldn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: imagine it all arrive at the one time, because Nestle
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: is so big. You think because Nesle had a did
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a plant in Cork and they used the specialist in me
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in Forrero Rash over near Douglas, and one of the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: few building sights I've ever been on that you're continuously
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: hungry because you can all you can smell is for
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: rail rashe in the air nearby. I've been in many
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a place where there's stuff in the air that you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: don't want. It would turn you after your fucking your
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: your breakfast. But so you nearly think that they have
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a local spot everywhere making these things thought like, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: like cad breeze and coolock or some such like, exactly
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: one distribution point in Italy. And if it gets absconded, well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: here's then all of a sudden, Poland doesn't have any
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: kit cats for a year exactly. Now here's the tinger.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They were on the way to Poland, right both they
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: were a very specific one. So this might be the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: one that's only made back back at home base right now.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They the thisn't tell you how the kind of money
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: could Cat and Nesle have, Like they literally said, while
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we appreciate the criminals exceptional taste, the facts are made.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: The cargo theft is an escalated issue for businesses of
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: all sizes, and you're like they had the opportunity to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: stick in like they had exceptional taste. Fair play lads.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: That's nearly more worrying in a way, isn't it, Because
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: if a you know, a villain, which let's say Nesley
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: are because they kind of are, turns around and goes
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: fair place. Yeah, through that smiling smile, you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Could do a lot with it. As a company, you
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: could turn around and go like, couldn't help. But notice
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that there haven't been many Mars bars stolen lately. Yeah
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, because if people would taste steel care
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you could do something.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You could and no doubt they probably will. But in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: their statement there was like, you know, we quite literally
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: they have taken a break with twelve tons of our choclate.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But it's the kind of sinister, happy happy that they're
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: putting out that to me says that somebody's gonna lose fingers.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's very it's very like lockstock or snatch.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, well done, lads, well done, well done.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Want to me, yes, hope you enjoy those fingers, because
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that's a loss for four fucking fingers you're gonna have
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in thatt Rock Turkish.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You snapping those fingers up one at a time. Just
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: remember a more snapped your fucking fingers off. I can't
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: do the accents.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That was close enough. That was close enough for me
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on the wager. You see, these were specific one there
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: were these particular bars because Kit Cat, if nothing else,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: there's a kit Cat fucking cereal up in that fucking
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: cupboard somewhere. I guarantee you there is a new Formula
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: one line. Now, how it tastes like a formerly one car,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But they actually have a chocolate formerly
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: one car some in Sentil Square in York at the minute,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: crafted from chocolate, not plashtic from chocolate. But these were
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: on the way to be distributed guessing from the big
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: distribution area, like you said, the most grapes of Poland
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and it was too grips. It was the compliment. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: then you then you watch me call it the new
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: kid caat range was gonna be F one formerly one
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: inspired and it got me thinking.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Jer they're sorry, I gotta pull it that one their tom?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: How is F one inspired?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe he's gotta point the end. Have
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you been down the rabbit hole? That is what KitKat
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and Nesley have been at. The fucking nankey bastards they
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: have thrown do you know, Like you've been in enough
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: marketing meetings and you talk these things over and things
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: are spitballed back and forth, and you go, maybe we
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: could do a Shardonnay and fucking hell cheese, fucking crisp
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and go cross. It goes around the table. Maybe put
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it out to a market in a market research survey.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: No disgusting, kid Cat, don't do that at all.
• 14:47

  Speaker 1: off on a k on a kit Cat and get
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it down to the wafer and then the whole thing.

• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I watched him do that. Yeah, when they were teak.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: There's no point, but he used to do it. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I remember watching him the same way a prisoner who
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: was about to shank somebody. Do you know, like I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: watched him when I'm gonna go across the fucking table
• 20:00

  Speaker 1: the difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what does it make to me?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: That's the way I looked at it.

  Speaker 1: If any of those flavors I notice said formerly one
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: flavored or from formerly one teamed kit cats were effect

• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a vibe of admiral sweetness of it getting the fucking
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: see good luck they went missing in Italy. That's all
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Tom before we move on.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Go on.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Do you think the thieves that these kitkats? Do you
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: think they knew that's what they were stealing? Or was
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: this a crime of opportunity that they just grabbed a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: truck and trove and they were as surprised as anybody
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to open it and find millions of kit cats.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: If it was any other country, I'd say it was
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a it was a roll of the dice and just
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: robbed it. But this was where a.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Crime was invented.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Crime was invented, Organized crime was invented. You know. It's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: costin Astra or cast An, austral or whatever they call it.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Like I don't I'm not saying it was close to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the Sicilian and close to the Sicily or that or Naples,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: but I'm just throwing it up there. I I this
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: was but one hundred one hundred percent And do you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing? Do you know what they're probably doing? Hold?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what they're doing. Hold this this
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: isn't gold. You can't sit in this for five years exactly.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: They I guarantee. What they're doing now is they have
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: it held held for ransom. They'll take maybe one hundred
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: thousand to release eight in the truck.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Just walk away. That's interesting.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I That's what I would do. I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: just go listen. It's fair, right, there's no point in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: going to your insurers for this. I'm going to give
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you back the truck and all your kid gets for
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred grand. I said, leave it in crypto, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: here's me working for a living time. That's actually very smart.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks man.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: It's a it's an old move, but it's it's but
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: it's fair. You don't ask for you don't ask for
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the price that the kid gets back. You still wanted
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to make some money so that they can you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: they'll rote out of another one next month.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Week on the least. Or do you want the Polish
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: kids to get KitKat? Don't you?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So it's I think I'm just saying, and I don't
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: like the stereotype. I absolutely like the stereotype. It was
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the Italians, jar.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It was the Italians. The Italian job with Kitkats ladies and.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Hanging off the edge of the cliff like I was
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: supposed to plant the bloody fucking dose off kit cats everywhere.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Kit Cats, well, folks, there you go. If you manage
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to get yourself a kit Kat over the easter, you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: maybe sell on the black market.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: There's a shortage they have the Oh that's the one
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: thing I meant to actually say, is that Nestle have
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: all those barcodes, all of them right, and they'll know
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the second one pings and then that's when they're fucking
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: so the boys camera and the fucking trainsit fucking smash
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you up in it. They will they ready for any
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of them, So they're assuming they need to be sold
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: on the That's why I don't think they're going to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: be actually sold in any markets around Italy, you know
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I think it's just going to be
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: a ransom job truck and all released.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: One k and you want a chopper to the airport,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I want one hundred kit cats with unmarked, nonsequential barcodes.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Fucking right. Okay, we'll move on.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Tom, big blue, big blue bomb in the middle of all.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Of just uh, Tom, We're gonna bust on to the
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: next segment of the show where we don't just talk
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: about any lad, not the lads that rob the truck,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: not this lad, that lad, Our Lord and Savior Jesus
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Christ rising this sun. And know we're talking about a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: very specific lad the second segment of the showtime we
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: call it this lad.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It was work. I was going to suggest our Lord
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and Savior Jesus Christ, but you know we would.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't know how we would get through that without.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Well blasphemy aside. I think we wouldn't have. Had we
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: could've done a whole show. We might do him sometime.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Let's just do it, you know, a deep drive into
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus and because I don't think you'd fit his whole
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: story in in fifteen minutes, not having a bit of
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: crack off anything. Because we have to.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Assume that Jesus Christ on the Tom and Jerry Show
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: and ever expect to see heaven in the last of
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: your lifetime. But here we are. Well, but you got
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to tell you he died. He has risen this Sunday.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: But when it comes, Tom, if you're a man like me.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: A four day weekend, oh for me, I'll make an

  Speaker 2: the Monday off, you've got a three day weekend, four
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: day weekend stretching ahead at you. And as has become

• 26:05
  Speaker 2: years time looking like fucking late by got Grove era.

  Speaker 2: you about the place.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That might be the greatest niche reference that
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: has ever happened in the Dan near ten years of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the Toma Jerry Show. PG and Duncan for that one
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: little bit where ant of Dick I think went blind.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It the we might get them on the get the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: leads on the podcast not up to a lot these
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: days Welcome.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah we might. We might actually do the blinding of
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: at McFarland in a later episode, but from now we're
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: talking about Easter. I'm busting at the character case seven powerwashing,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: powerwash my yard at the weekend. Maybe a lot of
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you folks are, but it's puzzles in mind of an
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: old Tom and Jerry episode with a long long time
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: ago called Toolbox Legends, where we talked about the people
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: behind the tools and we said fuck it. In honor
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: of the first long weekend, we have to do a
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: power a bit of power washing. We'd take a look
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: at the lad behind Carterer Carcher himself, mister character.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know what it has to be said? If
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna put your name on a thing, it's gotta
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: be good, not you know what I mean. You're not
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: gonna call it the buzzwash two thousand, Yeah, you know,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna just go like prior to character being Carcher,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he was it was just a surname, so it'd be
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: like it'd be just like McBride, although McBride powerwashers does
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: have a good grin to like Mikhail's. Baler's are the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: best in the world.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: So you know what I mean it it does two
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: people Tom, you know, you know great times like when
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: mister mister Williams, you know, yeah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, or Black and Decker yeah yeah yeah, right
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: enough massive.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: But we we thought, like, you know, the listeners might
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: like to learn a little bit about the people behind
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the tools we hold in the hands. So we're gonna
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: be dropping a couple of toolbox legs here and there
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: throughout the Tom and Jerry Show as we go on forward.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: We're nearly at one hundred episodes. I don't know why
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: we haven't been doing this all along time, to be honest,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: which sitting right there all the weeks that we had
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: fucking know this legs.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, sometimes this let's just put
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: their hand forward. And I think character is that it's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: got to be the It's got to be the one. Actually,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it's the Henry, isn't It's it's it won't let you down.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It's the It's the Henry. It's so many households. It's
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a character. The old man, I think he is. He's
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: upgraded from his character. He loves the powerwasher, he loves it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He's upgraded put the character. He still has a soft
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: spot for it in his heart, but he's after buying
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a fucking animal other thing now that would split the concrete.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he got there for.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean like the character is very much the
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: how will I say it now, it's like the Black
• 28:46

• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the lungest word I have ever seen in my goddamn life.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: And they did not make powerwasher's brother, They made emersion heaters.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, well, okay, do you know what I mean?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Like, do you know there's something just telling me Tom
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: as I as I as I learned that today, there's
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: something just telling me that I might have sold in
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: my life in the hardware shops immersion heaters with the
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: character logo on.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I'll be surprised as they walked away from it. I mean,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: still a thing that's required at the minute, or do.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: You know the yeah that the willis flasks, So I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, I'm gonna have to just just just when
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I read that, I was just like, oh yeah, fuck yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: remember character anyway, regardless of which, they were rocking and
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: rolling in nineteen thirty nine, done done, done, when all
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: of a sudden nothing happened. It was a great time
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and everybody had fun. Ninety thirty nine from World War Two.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: You know, we had this when we did tool Box
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Heroes last time that Bosh did their best to stay
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: out of the war. And they're like, oh, no, shit, no,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I guess we got to make windscreen wipers for a character.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Was he was there because he was so specialized in
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: immersion heaters and whatnot. They said, if you can heat
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: an immersion then you can heat the wings and tail
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: units of the Luftwaffe if they ice up.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, that's any of the engineer, I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: don't care who you are, that's a challenge. Do you
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna go Hey, you know what, let me
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have that. And you know what, and this is like
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I've heard people kind of get busy about you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: who worked during the war and stuff. Yeah, you have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: no problem with up and driving around v w's. It's
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: no problem with driving around BMW's. And by the way,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the amount of American companies that were on both sides,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and but they were funding both sides through products, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: then when when the war ended, the American they retracted
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and their American ones just sued Germany for lots of
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: lots of earnings because the war had ended over. You know, so,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I I you gotta make a book.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: You gotta make a book. But I'm gonn tell you something, Tom.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: It sticks in my fucking crawl that these lads worked
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: through the war and put and profited from the war
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: effort in Germany and still to this day are charging
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: me fucking three you know what I mean?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm gonna put it?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Really improfitable? No, you did pretty good fucking streak there
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: for ten years.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Last. Look, if the fure has a gun to your
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: head that says you have to make my things warm,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you got the fuck right? Fine?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Allright? Okay, And I suppose if our hands are four,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: then we better do all our manufacturing in Russian, Polish, French.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: It's described here tom work camps.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So no, but they were clean as work camps in
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: all of Europe, I'm.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Gonna tell you so. Not only were they making you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: wing warmers for the love and like little fan heaters
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: for the pans or no for the the foker aircraft.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: You know, if you were cool and you turned on
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a heater, it's a character, you know. Those pilots are like,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: oh God, we love we love character. We love it
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: all day. They were also making we cookers like it
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: seems to be just like whatever the equivalent of an
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: air frier was back in the day, like small household
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: equipment for warming up your sausages and share.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Well, look chair, I mean to the victor's go the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it tells the story like I'm just like to shake off,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to shake I'm not excusing working for fuel, but what
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is to shake off that funk and come
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: out the back end of it still selling powerwashers to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Bryden, Ireland. Yeah know, in the in the two thousands,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: it's good going, that's good going in anybody's book. That's
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: good going. General, that's quite a that's quite a funk
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to shake off yourself there. So he went anyway, So
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the war, the war ended, he had a fast turnaround
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: because I mean he only died in the He died
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: in his fifty so he had a fast turnaround to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: make a state of the art household name like well.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Tom twist goodthubn good tubbin. But did he But did
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: he Tom? Because no? Yes. In nineteen fifty Character started
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: to develop the first domestic high pressure cleaner, and they
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: were hot water cleaner. So I guess there would be
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: we would use today for washing out milk and parallels
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: and shit like that. Yeah, yeah, whatever the equivalent of
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: that is. You're not going to wash You're not a
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: power hos in your yard with.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Hot No, but you yeah you can. You can get
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: those all right, And they pretty much had their own.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: It's again the immersion heater exactly.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: That's what they're doing. It's electric delivered really fast. Yeah
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, But it wouldn't have been I dare say
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: for domestic use.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: No, this thing probably either came around in the truck
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: or a man had to come and build it on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: your site, and it was.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: For it was for cleaning out. I'm saying milk and parlors.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I wonder what else Germany wanted to clean out in
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: a hurry round about that time.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Do you know they're still their souls? I imagine, yeah.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But look, he was a man for all corners of
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the war. It would see.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, and he was then a man
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: for all corners of a coffin because in nineteen fifty
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: nine he died of a heart attack.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: He developed a domestic sold thing.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: That's the twist, because that's when all of a sudden,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: this lad becomes this lady Irene, Irene Charter. That's an
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Irene character. That's a great name of the business.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I bet I just imagine her hair done like you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a real Hilda from back in the day, like like
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: just curled up at the sides, stripped doc clothes only making.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Of the time. I'm just like, you know, she was
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: either like a books and Blonde in an SS uniform
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: or like a house frow, you know, waving.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: A role in Books and Blonde, because you know, he'd
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: made a name for himself.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Well, regardless of which, she was one smart cookie because
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: she increased revenue by seventy percent. For a woman to
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: do that in the fifties year after so her husband
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: was taken along doing all right, doing rightly, and she
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: was just like, I'm going to raise revenue by seventy percent.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Post war Germany, post like the fall.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Like to be able to do that, That's what I'm saying,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: like to shake off the funk. Germany went into a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: fucking spiral, downward spired after both wars and prior to
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the First War, they went in that downward spiral. They
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: weren't the recovery was only for the rich really at
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the time, I well, for hard to take what would
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: have been I guess, to go domestic when people hadn't
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: a part to pisson like, rather than trying.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: To go to the strict domestic just yet Tom, but
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: you know, for large business councils and all this kind
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: of thing, like when when when characters were selling powerwashers
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: back then they were selling like powerwashers to the councils
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to clean buildings and clean graffiti and and and do
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just looked up the word powerwasher in German.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I do that what I couldn't pronounce up the way.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm just part of this word. I'm not saying
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: out loud. Fucking no, it's a wash oh wreck Ryan, No, No,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: that will cancel the that will cancel it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I just anybody go no one side of caution with that. People.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You go and just look for the translation powerwasher to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: German and have a look. Why Tom didn't try.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: It led the company to strength upon strength and built
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: it into the global powerhouse that it is today. She
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: established offices all over the Shengan area, so the Germans
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: made it throughout mainland Europe by fucking herker by crokr body,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: and then in nineteen seventy five opened their first production
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: facility outside Germany in Brazil. Not beating the fucking allegations here, lad,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Wow, they went to Brazil. Interesting Argentina, a very interesting.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Argentine is a little too on the nose, Lad, go
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: a foot to.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: The right, Yeah, because you know there would be conspiracies
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: to say that they went there too. It's quite a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: big place, Jesus, all the places to go.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: What the fuck was wrong with Egypt? I'm gonna tell you, Look,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: what do I know what do I know about the
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: production of powerwashers for large scale cancel purposes and becoming
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: the number one name in power washers until nineteen eighty five.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Tom nineteen eighty five is when the first high pressure
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: cleaner for domestic use started to roll out in the shops.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: And is it is it still owned by character?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Did they like it is still owned by character? Yes,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the character has passed away in nineteen eighty nineties. Well
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the excuse me, but like children, grandchildren, holy like that.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: In anybody's eyes, I think this lad is actually irene
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: because oh yeah, no, absolutely the visits.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Snatched the ball there and move. That was the twist
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: in the middle of it all together.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, Like, it's one thing to
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: start with the old man and then all of a
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: sudden a war o starts as they just need your stuff.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: You're like, okay, well there's no even sales and marketing here,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: it's just you need my stuff. I'm going to make
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: your stuff. But the war friends Germany's not got a
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: great name at the time. He dies, and she takes
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the ball by herself as a woman in the fifties
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and turns it into a fucking global household name monster
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: like that is not I'll be it. I'm not saying
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: like you're saying, there's still entirely one but by the Watchman.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I was almost said owned by the fewer, but it's
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: owned by the family. And yes, so we can assume
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: that there's very little official investment came in. But hm hmm,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: just the very fact that the first place they went
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to was fine North America Brazil. Immediately there was like
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: what did you call him, like an angel investor, like
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: a mentor, So there was a mentor somewhere there, just
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: not saying that Irene needed a hand and go girl
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: power and all the rest of them both.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Someone had boots on the ground in South America. It
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: was friendly to German business, which is what what what in.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The business world, it would call it open a soft,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: soft meeting between the two. That's because it's a big jump, now,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: big jump to go all the way to Germany and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: across four time zones and end up in Brazil. So
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I'm interesting. It would be a very interesting to do
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: a proper investigation into something like that and how they
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: ended up where they ended up. But then what you'd
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: probably open it up would be BMW shut you down,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: all these other ones just going.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I got to tell you we're we're in
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: too deep already.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: We need that type of podcast. Yeah, much like I
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: take the ball and run with it yourselves.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, be the be the be,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: the be the winner you want to be. And we
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: hope that's a little interesting nuggets of information for you
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: about the history of the Character Family while you're powawashing
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: your backyard.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: The Character Family. It makes them sound like they're going
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to be like a a Bible musical group, doesn't it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Like yeah and.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Pray, Oh, it's the Character Family. I love them. I

• 43:36
  Speaker 2: fuck year this is now, we look back on it
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: all in our closing segment. We remember when when I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: was a young lad twenty or thirty or forty years ago.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: This again as it came about really as a result
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: of a current happening, because I sent Jerry on an
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: article the other day and I just I'm going to
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: get it up judge a second quote it right, so
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: it would seem there was a viral video. There was
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: a viral video went around quite recently, and it's of
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: a squirrel vaping in a park. I don't Yeah, everybody's vaping.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Some people are saying it's not real and stuff like that,

• 44:28
  Speaker 1: bird feeders. They're little. Anything that has hens in the
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: animal kingdom is letal, do you know what I mean?
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It's little. You'll see monkey smoking and the people go, well,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the course is because of the
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: fruity flavors. That definitely if the one the picture that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: went viral isn't the one, I guarantee a squirrel somewhere
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: in the world. I've met some of the most aggressive
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: squirrels when I lived in America, Like proper, I'm fucking
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: walking the squirl. Yeah, Like if seagulls have learned in
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: double to steal a sandwich and a chip straight out
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: of your hand while you're about to put in your mouth.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I promise your squirrels are vaping and what this kind
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: of and they're.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: In a good company. Tom. Now everybody's vaping.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Tom, You vape, brother, Yeah, yeah, yeah, less and less
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: these days, thank god. I'm putting it away more and
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: more these days. But it doesn't it doesn't seem to
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: It's quite a low dosage and everything in it.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: That sure, that's what we wanted to talk about here,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: and we remember when. Yeah, actual fact, I got to
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: lean on you here, buddy, because the subject about today
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: is smoking because you are a smoker. Tom. You've been
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: a smoker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have ever been a smoker.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I've smoked maybe ten cigars in my whole long life.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Ah, you're missing out, you're missing out. It was It's
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: fantastic because smoke.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: And I just wanted to I just wanted to ask you, Tom,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: because you were at the forefront of this here now
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: of smoking as a smoker over the last thirty forty years.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: You might just think, well, yeah, you know, Spencer and
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: the hedges, all the air every day. No, No, that's
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: what it used to be. That's what your dad started
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: smoking Benson and Hedges in the fifties and smoking on
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: the little nineties or whatever like that. Straight through, Tom,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: you've had an whole manner of nicotine delivery systems, whether
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: to smoke better, smoke worse, smoke less, or just get
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: fucking more of it in you.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: That's the thing it there was. I suppose it probably
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: came about when they finally had to admit that they
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: weren't good for you. Do you remember when that that
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: movie do you know what I mean?
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: No, Tom, they were saying that in the fifties.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Ah, but you know that was just rival gangs, that's all.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It was just rival gangs. There was a moment there
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: mental ones. They're supposed to be good for you and stuff,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: but where they were just was never It was definitely
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: never admitted by the cigarette companies, you know what I mean.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: They didn't have to write any warnings on the packs.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: We have seen a lot of changing cigarettes down through
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the years. Well, let me ask you a question, Tom, Now,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: when did you start smoking?
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Probably had the odd fag in school, you know, the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: bolcks like and that's the thing that would happen then
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: really a couple of you know, it's smoking a bit
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: in college when you drink and stuff like that, but
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a still like an into construction really and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: then it's all out, it's all out.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: And here here's the here's the thing right with smoking
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: back in the day, even the packs, as you mentioned there,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the packs look completely different. Both my parents smoked and
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: it was just a colorful pack of cigarettes with no warnings, nothing,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: legs cut off.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I smoked. I smokeding, actually smoked. Do you know what happened?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I brightly smoked in the summer. I went to America
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: right because they were like the the my boss, she
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: was the captain of the security company, and because with
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: all ranks they were being America. They did it really
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: for the top, over the top. But she used to
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: buy me cartains. They were like American Spirit or something
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: like that. To me, it tasted exactly like Marlboro lights
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and it was for nothing then full white filter and
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: everything felt like one of the Golden Girls or something.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: I was smoking with her out the back, but it
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: was they were I fucked. I'm gonna say it out loud.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: They had a big gold eagle on them. They were
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: cool as shit.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Shit, So like little by little, more and more stickers
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: started appearing. One I remember, like this is how far
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: back I'll go. I remember there came like a little
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: white stamp on a pack of cigarettes and it's still
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: on it to this day. And it's some sort of
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: customs sort of thing.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, and it used to have them, which
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: she used to be able to get ten packsture. One
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: stage you could buy a single cigarette. You could buy
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a single cigarette, yeah yeah, and the like it's it's
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: it's slowly but surely, like more horrific pictures of lungs
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and dead children around the front of packets, and it
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: didn't determine, deteriorate any of your yearnings for a cigarette,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: did knock back nothing. It were wasting their time and
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: like I said, it didn't really. It wasn't an admission
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: by the cigarette companies. Philip marri has been the I suppose,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: the king of them all. There was no real admission
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that until the retailing was in that that film was
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the Informer with or The Insider with Russell Crow. Yeah yeah,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: he blew the whistle basically on the cigarette companies, and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: they finally had to come around and go, yeah, okay,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we're putting two thousand chemicals into him, and I'd switched
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to like rollies, you know, which is I mean, it
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: was just raw tobacco, you know what I mean, And
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: it would slow you down because you actually had to stop.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: And if it's fucking raining, which it was a lot
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: of construction, you just didn't have one. So they weren't
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: that easy easily accessed. But I do remember I remember
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the smoking band coming in into bars and stuff like that,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: and it was this apros like, what the fuck kind
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: of nunny state of we turning, of course, offered lows
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: of opportunities to small builders who went on building extensions
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: with vent you know. And then of course they stopped smoking.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: You can't be smoking in a cafe or a restaurant,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: what the fucks now? Smoking on planes had been stopped
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: a long time, so I kind of understood there was
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: places you couldn't smoke. So as time went on in
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the construction industry, it's too easy. Everybody smoked, and if
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: you have to talk to a guy, which I did,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I had to go around the whole huge fucking site
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: of one hundred and eighty acres, talk to different men
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: and at every point talk about it. Stop what they
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: were doing, whether it was on the shovel, laying a
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: pipe on a digger, they'd all stop and go, don't
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: go away, got right, and you would find yourself doing
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: the same thing before you know it. Then you're a
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: figure two in. You're going right, so we know it's
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: grand and you're a wake and two fangs have been
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: had in this conversation. So there was an it was
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: an epidemic of cigarette smoking. And you'd see the odds
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: sign going up in an office and the going too
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: much smoking and you need to look after your head.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: But we have some cartoony sign that. Of course, the
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: construction industry were harangued into putting up around but they
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: didn't give a shit.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: It didn't give a you know what I mean, don't
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: wear hard hats space where sh it's been dropped directly on.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so fags are the we can keep them off
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: the fucking heroin. That'll be good, right, So Tom, tell
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: me when was your first attempt?
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I can failed, but.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did fail because I can never I can
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: remember it. It was would have been two thousand and five,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: maybe two thousand and five at this stage, and I
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: can remember coming off them and I was using patches
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: brought up nicarette.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Our patch is still a thing. They are, They are
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: still a thing, and and and and like you knowing
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Tom wouldn't know what a nicorette patch was. But that
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: was like a little sticker that you stuck on your
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: arm exactly slowly leaked nicotine inch your system right.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: And I think I must have gotten too strong of one,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like there wasn't. I was trying to gauge how many
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: cigarettes I smoke versus what I need, because there were
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: different strengths of them, okay, And I can remember putting
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: one on my arm and my whole fucking arm bean
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: like I got punched. It was dead for the day.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck? You peel this thing off?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: And this ship had been leaching into your skin. I
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: just fucking, oh my god. Produced there was still the
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: twiddly fingers. It was too much of a habit built in,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: so really the time to do would be like when
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: you were taking two weeks holidays is just breaking the habit.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: And I remember that time we'd lasted almost a month
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: going and I was going maybe maybe over these things
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: and just something happened. It was like a Friday, and
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I can remember. The guy's name was Marking some coved.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: He was built like a fucking three ton digger and
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: he was down on a trench and he just went
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: fig and my hand went out, took it and had
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: it lit before I realized yeah, and I got all
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: light headed, and ever then, any normal rational person listened
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: to as would go. Of course, it felt disgusting. You
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: walked away from all together. I went absolutely not if anything.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: That cigarette had two little grappling hooks, and I I went, gotcha, gotcha, dying, gotcha.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing with the patches, though, I wonder what
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: kind of effect they would have had on someone who
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: had never smoked before.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: In our life, this is a question we often asked, like,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I would imagine they'd make you violently sick. I would
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: imagine it was such an overload. Now here's the thing,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Much like anything with the word en at the end
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: of a caffeine toring, you know they're they're a stimulant,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: so not nicotine. Nicotine by itself only clear nicotine is
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: actually not terrible for you. It's not good for you,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: but it's not terrible for you. It's all the shit
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: that the cigarette companies put in it to flavor keep
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: it lit preservedly from rotting in the box while it's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: sitting on a fucking port somewhere. They it's stolen by
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the Italians, let's make and the amount of addictive chemicals
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: that they put into it, Like a one stage cigarettes
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: has something close to this, eighteen hundred different touches of
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: chemicals in them, like the cigarette you get in a box.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Horrendous fucking things all to get their hooks into you.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: And I remember that cigarette. It was like a silk cutter.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: It was a silk god. I even remember that. It
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: was fucking grotesque, but I horsed into it anyway, light
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: headed out for a couple of pints that night. Sure
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: you're gone, but I tried the gum then at that
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: that did fuck on. You saw together.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Again, that's just like a literally like nicotine chewy.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just like a chew. It was a chew. It
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: made no sense at all. It was the problem was
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: my environment. If I was working in an office, I
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: think I probably would have had much better success because
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: there's only a designated time. You can't speak while you're
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: working in construction. You fucking can no problem. Very liberating
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: when you think about it, but trying to come off
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: the fags back in the day when every horse seemed
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: to fucking smoke, and you're talking to all these horse
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I only dealt with outdoor stuff. I didn't deal with
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: anything indoors. Once it the roof went up, I'm out
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: of business. I wanted the next thing, groundworks, diggers, and
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget. One of my favorite people, Lord of
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Marker sent Me, died only recently and he he reverenced
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: him on this show before. His name was Dick Shelley
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: was an execator driver from the hone. He was nor
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Tipperary these Tipperaries, well, no north East it would be yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I mean Nortis Tipperaries. Answer to Fred Dibner the traction engines,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: but far more foul mouthed, hilarious. Used to come out
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: with phrases year that we're just I've actually got a
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: bank of him that I'm gonna I'm gonna do it
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: in a show some year. But he he used to smoke,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: damn near a full pouch of old Holborn, which was
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: notoriously strong. It was nearly as strong as pipe tobacca. Yeah,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: he would smoke nearly a full pouch of that in
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: an entire day. This excavator driver called Dick and he
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: was being told by friends of families had to come
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: off the facts. There comes a certain point, tip and point,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and we've all heard of Nannette that smoked. She was
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: ninety eight and she came off of from one day.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: She died because the body just what you know. And
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Dick was me in told left right and Cindria had
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to come off the cigarettes. And I'll never forget.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I went, you're not going to come off Jizabeth.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: And he went to a hypnotist, which were big at
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, go on.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: So he went to hypnotist. And I was intrigued with
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: this because it was like maybe I go myself. But
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I figured I was good
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: to this fellow'll do nothing for me. And there comes
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: upon Dick was trying to describe to me this guy
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: was had him holding imaginary balloons in his hand and
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: he was fucking no time, but he was he had
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: no tobacco with him, right, So I'm like, so you're
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: off the fags that man for two days. It was
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: almost like you you put you put some sort of
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: malware into a high performing computer. It was still kind
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: of working. But something was way off. Something was something
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: was direct like, something was off. He was just where
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: he was normally sharp and sparky, and he was always
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: with the quick quips. He was like a guy who
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: just wasn't there, you know what I mean. He was
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: just not right, Like he was like what and it
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: was me By the day day three, I'm like, I
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: think we both think you need to go back in
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the cigarettes. He's like yeah, And he lived another ripe
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: age he lived. I could assume he was sixty. He
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: lived into his eighties. Like you know what I mean, Well,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: smoking happy comes a tipping point where you smoke so
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: much where you just can't come off them. But the
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: hypnotist one was always the one.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: The hypnotist actually, you know, that's the very purpose of
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: we remember when, because every now and then it'll just
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: throw something up that will really flash something very very
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: big in your brain. Like fuck, yes, I'd forgotten all that.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: That was a big thing.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: They were making money. They were making they were making
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: hypnotists all over the country were making money getting people
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: off the smokes.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like two thousand and four, two thousand
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: and five, like there came a wave of that through. Yeah,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: and I guess I guess it talies with the smoking
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: ban and people being just all of a sudden, like
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: the mid two thousands was really where we were like
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: and you want to say, ninety state governments and all
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: this kind of tract They really were just saying like,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: we cannot build hospitals quick enough for the rate that
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: people are going to them from smoking related illnesses. But
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: we do love that smoking revenue. Is there a halfway house?
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Is there something we can have? Yeahgan throwing a smoking
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: ban here here and here, and at least we'll we'll
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: we'll slow it down a little bit. But I remember
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of people going to hypnotists and and and
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: they come around and they go to like the hotels,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Like so there'll be the smoking hypnotist is going to
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: be in the Glen Carn next week.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it'd be like.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: You going turn to town just selling out shows.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing, Like he know, he had to
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: get an appointment for this guy. But I do remember,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: like you said, to be a guy he's going to
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: be there between the you know, whatever in a certain hotel,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: and it was a thing because people were worried coming
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: off them, and there was I remember there was one
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: thing you could get. It was a tablet you could
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: actually get prescribed. It's cause, uh, Champicks. What's the name
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: of the Champics Champis. I'm sure there was like a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: that might be a brand name, you know. I mean
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it was champ Picks or Chanticks or he was Champicks,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I'm nearly sure. And a couple of lads tried it
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: and it just made him super fucking It didn't really
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: knock back ravings all that much, but it made him
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: super fucking ill.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is Champicks. It's like it's like the champions.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: It's like smoking.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I guess we're supposed to knock back your cravings. So
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: it's like the ozen pic of fags back in the day.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: There you go, I just sort of still on the go,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: are they Oh yeah, I know you can get Champicks
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: ace even if you want.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Yeah, there was, I mean, there's there was
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: anybody that's you see, I suppose we're vaping took off then,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: because I suppose there was. The argument was that they
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: were it was a healthier alternative, more socially acceptable alternative.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Two cigarettes like whether it is or it isn't.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I gotta tell you Tom before before the vapor
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: and I seem to remember, it was like a little no,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't I know of people that had them, rather
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: than oh yeah it was a little fake cigarette.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, it was like a little plastic to
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: be honest, it looked like a period applicators. What it
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: looked like.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a little fucking tampon thing.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: And the gimmick with it was that you you you
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: drew on it. You take at least yeah, yeah, and
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: you were sucking. I guess inside was just like a
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: little wall paper.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I think that some such yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: pretty sure somebody opened one one that show show me one.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: But like you could see the guy was just fucking
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: dying inside. It was like, this is terrible.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't recall as well now and again I'm looking
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: in rather than looking at on all this. But one
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: of the earliest cigarettes I ever seen looked like a
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: cigarette with a little red tip that would.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Be yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasn't.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: It wasn't what we would call a vape. These days.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: It was just I think it had like a little
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: water nicotine in it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were, that's exactly, and it was there was
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: no there was a glow off, but I think it
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: was just pure.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: It was just it's just more.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you would. There must have been a little
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: fur behind it, sorry, because it would glow as per
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: how much sucking you were doing through it, like it
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: would actually glow brighter than So there must have been
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: some sort of little, like I said, some little turbine
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: just to get it go. It wasn't necessary, but there
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: were ones, and they were very chalky. I remember trying
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: one of those for a couple of weeks and they
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: were very fucking chalky. It was just a cloud of
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: fucking dust that would go into your lungs like but again,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: not good healthy smoke. I think the big problem that
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: at the time it's because we'd passed, because I can
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: never understand, like, wow, why what is the addiction to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: these fucking things? And it really was the ability to
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: be allowed to smoke them anywhere. And there's social connection
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: that you would have with lads you worked with because
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you'd come to a stopping point or a discussion point
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: and a city would come out then like it was
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: almost like, I mean, they've done away with the advertising
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: and formula one and stuff and a little quick one.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Did you know?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Do you know when Benson and Hedges were sponsoring Jordan, right,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Eddie Jordan's cards, So Eddie Jordan had done a deal
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: at the time, so they're like they were gold, black, golden,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and red. And he went because it was mentioned heads colors,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: but that color actually becomes like jockey's becomes your assigned color.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Then ye recard and he had done a deal with DHL.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: He was doing a deal with DHL at the same time,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: and DHL went, yeah, but you can't really be associated
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: with fangs because no, the fangs are on the way out.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: They're gone. So let's us do a deal to go
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: man because DHL at the time we're white and red.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: And that dad will tell you we did. We did
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: any Jordan a couple of a couple of months back.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: That will tell you how strong of a salesman he was.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: He went, you want to be class if he changed
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: your color branding to yellow and red, way way better,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: way better look mc donald's Cogan universe. You know what
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: I mean? Heaven knows what he said at that meeting.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: But to get DHL to go, yeah, that's a great
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: idea for your Jordan cards, which are now wrapped up.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: He got him to change their entire livery their and
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: DHL is yellow and red to this based based originally
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: on the cigarettes, beds and and hedges, which originally gave
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the color like Eddy for you like Eddie. So that
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: was that was when they went out. But then it
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: was I couldn't really grasp this level of negativity towards
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: it or how it was so addictive because I wouldn't
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: actually smoke an awful lot by myself, indeed, because for
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: a long time I lived by myself when I was
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: working construction, and I wouldn't smoke. And you smoke one
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: in theeed and maybe after the dinner or whatever, maybe two.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: What are you hoof throw them during the day? It
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, because it's a punctuation it's a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: social social punctuation point. You know, we weren't all rushing
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: out for a fag because we were all the time
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: outside for a fag. So that's what made it super hard.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: So when did you start vaping?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Tom?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Probably even we want to get back that we want
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: to circle back to these squirrels.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I'd say eight or nine years ago, I'd.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Say, you're vaping the length of the tom and Jerry shoging.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Immediate effects as soon as because
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: you start hacking up long lung butter once you stop
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: cigarettes for an was the same when I came off
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: from that time. You're just HARKing up long butter like
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: it's just sitting there on your lungs with the less
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: and lesson using this thing. I would hope, I would.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: It's losing a lot of interest at the minute. I've
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: just I've filled my life with so many other things
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: that indeed, you know that it's almost wheedled its way
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: out of my system. Is a hindrance, is a long one.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: This is why I say to people like I could
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: never have electric car, Gotta charge my laptop, fag phone,
