Speaker 1: Hello there. A lot of people wonder how a steeplejack
0:05
Speaker 1: handles his comings and goings bathroom-wise when he's up a chimney.
0:11
Speaker 1: It's a reasonable question, I suppose, although maybe not one
0:15
Speaker 1: to ask if there's a lady present. The fact is,
0:19
Speaker 1: it's not something that I've had much issue with down
0:22
Speaker 1: through the years. Best of luck squeezing a drop out
0:25
Speaker 1: when you're 200ft up a chimney with a crosswind blowing,
0:28
Speaker 1: for one thing. You don't relax from the waist down
0:32
Speaker 1: until you're home having your tea later that day. Unlike
0:36
Speaker 1: the poor lady at the sporting event that Tom and
0:39
Speaker 1: Jerry talk about in this week's episode. Well, I'll let
0:43
Speaker 1: you get to that yourselves. I'll see you there. I've
0:56
Speaker 1: hit a milestone.
0:59
Speaker 2: It's like that, Tom, isn't it?
1:01
Speaker 1: Today's my birthday oh shit oh buddy happy birthday thanks
1:05
Speaker 1: very much I'm feeling everything.
1:07
Speaker 2: I did not remember the 21st night of September what
1:12
Speaker 2: are you doing podcasting with me of your birthday should

Speaker 2: it not be something else no it's.
1:17
Speaker 1: A Monday night come on what are we going to
1:19
Speaker 1: do come on I've got to sit down by myself
1:21
Speaker 1: to watch the stuff about the Roman Empire yeah actually

1:30
Speaker 2: Instagram Is this a big one, Tom, if you don't
1:33
Speaker 2: mind telling the entire audience?
1:34
Speaker 1: It's 45, 45, so.
1:36
Speaker 2: 45, buddy, yeah.
1:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're, I mean, by statistics, well, the family trait
1:41
Speaker 1: is pretty good, but statistics would suggest I'm way, way
1:44
Speaker 1: past the halfway mark.
1:46
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, close to past it.
1:48
Speaker 1: Who knows? Who knows? No, I've, I messaged Gerry just
1:53
Speaker 1: beforehand that hold off technical issues.
1:56
Speaker 2: I thought they were technical issues with your computer, not
1:58
Speaker 2: technical issues with your advancing ages, Tom.
2:00
Speaker 1: Well, maybe one is tied into the other because I...
2:02
Speaker 1: You remember... It's just about held together with binder twine
2:08
Speaker 1: and fucking and Gorilla Tape now at this stage. But
2:11
Speaker 1: the keyboard, which I fixed with a washer off a
2:14
Speaker 1: steel nail a couple of months, about a year ago.
2:17
Speaker 2: Long-term listeners will remember.
2:19
Speaker 1: It started to pack in the other day with one
2:21
Speaker 1: or two keys. Something happened, decided they weren't working. I said,
2:24
Speaker 1: I'll order one. And even herself, I sent it on.
2:26
Speaker 1: She's good at ordering stuff. She was like, are you sure?
2:28
Speaker 1: It seems kind of cheap. I'm like, look, get it.
2:30
Speaker 1: It'll be fine. Got it. Looked exactly the same. Let
2:34
Speaker 1: me show you. Let me show you. Original, right?
2:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:41
Speaker 1: Not original.
2:44
Speaker 2: Pretty close, right?
2:45
Speaker 1: Not bad.
2:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad.
2:47
Speaker 1: You didn't notice that in there though, Jared, did you?
2:48
Speaker 1: Because you just cast your eye over it. A keyboard's
2:50
Speaker 1: a keyboard, right?
2:52
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing an issue here, Tom. Eh.
2:54
Speaker 1: I don't know how well... Can you... It's probably back
2:57
Speaker 1: to front. Can you see anything?
2:59
Speaker 2: Horrible bastard. It's a... It's a... It's a French... It's
3:03
Speaker 2: not a QWERTY keyboard, Tom. It's not the QWERTY keyboard
3:05
Speaker 2: layout that we would normally love.
3:07
Speaker 1: It is not the QWERTY one, no.
3:09
Speaker 2: It is a fucking.
3:10
Speaker 1: Here I was, delighted. The buttons were working again. I
3:13
Speaker 1: got it linked up, the whole thing hooked up with Bluetooth.
3:16
Speaker 1: I'm chuffed to fucking bits with myself. Next thing... What?
3:21
Speaker 1: Why is that there and that there? Double looked. What
3:25
Speaker 1: the fuck have I ordered? Buttons all in the wrong place.
3:29
Speaker 1: Turns out those French kniggets completely typing a fucking gammy backward,
3:36
Speaker 1: upside down, inside out, fucked up all over the shop.
3:38
Speaker 2: Loads of umlauts and things, accents.
3:41
Speaker 1: It's not even. They cheated me that way. There isn't
3:44
Speaker 1: a load of accents and stuff. They just have things
3:46
Speaker 1: fucked all over the place across the board. So trying
3:50
Speaker 1: to sign back in, the computer decided to go back
3:53
Speaker 1: to old The old fucking... So I'm just coursing all
4:00
Speaker 1: roads and I'm fucking tired. The weekend I was gigging
4:03
Speaker 1: like crazy. Then we had a fucking hurling blitz yesterday
4:06
Speaker 1: and 23 degrees. 23 degrees yesterday. I'm not ready. I'm
4:11
Speaker 1: supposed to be wearing jumpers by now. Here I am
4:13
Speaker 1: in shorts getting sunburned.
4:15
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I went and bought a jumper at the weekend.
4:17
Speaker 2: I'm glad I kept the receipt of it.
4:19
Speaker 1: I got one for my mother-in-law, a lovely jumper, but
4:22
Speaker 1: that won't see the light of day. Well, just as well,
4:25
Speaker 1: given the price of heat and oil and energy at
4:27
Speaker 1: the minute, full stop. We're in the golden age, as
4:31
Speaker 1: they say, of global warming. We're in a sweet spot
4:35
Speaker 1: right now.
4:37
Speaker 2: We're in the golden age of tractors showing up on
4:39
Speaker 2: the M50, Thomas, where we are.
4:41
Speaker 1: Oh, we're very close to that, I think. We're very
4:43
Speaker 1: close to that.
4:45
Speaker 2: Well, before tractors cause a blockade of this goddamn podcast, Tom,
4:50
Speaker 2: we will launch on with the show. Folks, you know
4:53
Speaker 2: what's going on with the Tom and Jerry show. If
4:54
Speaker 2: you don't know, you'll soon learn. We kick off every
4:57
Speaker 2: week with a weekly what have you.
4:59
Speaker 1: This is a very complicated case, Maude.
5:01
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of ins, a lot of outs,
5:02
Speaker 2: a lot of what have yous, and a lot of
5:05
Speaker 2: strands to keep in my head, man.
5:07
Speaker 1: This one combines a few things that we would have
5:13
Speaker 1: I mean, reasoning with, we could probably reason with this,
5:16
Speaker 1: but we joined this for a different reason to what
5:19
Speaker 1: these people did. So this is huge, Mo, huge as
5:24
Speaker 1: it always is. Another obscure thing that we found from
5:27
Speaker 1: around the world. In San Francisco, it was the annual.
5:30
Speaker 2: San Francisco, America.
5:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, not the one up by Bondorn. This was the
5:38
Speaker 1: guttural scream at the sea event.
5:40
Speaker 2: The guttural scream at the sea event.
5:42
Speaker 1: Yep.
5:43
Speaker 2: Tom, take us through it. You sent this over to
5:45
Speaker 2: me and I was just like, tell me nothing about it, buddy.
5:48
Speaker 2: But it's going in the podcast. This is the guttural
5:51
Speaker 2: scream at the sea event.
5:52
Speaker 1: Well, if nothing else, this could be inspirational to anybody
5:55
Speaker 1: who just has an idea. Because now you wouldn't pull
6:00
Speaker 1: this off in Ireland. Maybe you would in Dublin. you'd
6:03
Speaker 1: get away with it because, you know, there'd be enough
6:05
Speaker 1: people to be fucking, fuck acting around with nothing else
6:07
Speaker 1: to be doing. And this is, if ever, there was
6:10
Speaker 1: a sign of people who had nothing for doing and
6:13
Speaker 1: all day for doing it.
6:14
Speaker 2: And all day for doing it.
6:16
Speaker 1: This was on a woman who lived by the Pacific Ocean,
6:20
Speaker 1: which would be the western side of America, is where
6:23
Speaker 1: San Francisco is, over last Saturday morning at the Vista
6:27
Speaker 1: del Mar, overlooking the ocean beach, which seems like a
6:31
Speaker 1: nice place.
6:32
Speaker 2: I mean Ocean Beach they fucking wasted no time naming
6:35
Speaker 2: that place Tom I'll.
6:36
Speaker 1: Tell you do you know what they nail it on
6:38
Speaker 1: the head really don't they what do.
6:39
Speaker 2: We call it where is it Forest Beach yeah Ocean
6:43
Speaker 2: Beach will be grand come on Friday.
6:45
Speaker 1: The local woman Danielle Egan she decided a while back
6:49
Speaker 1: she goes do you know what one of the days
6:50
Speaker 1: this is literally her she goes I felt I needed
6:52
Speaker 1: a really good scream fuck off yourself try having a
6:56
Speaker 1: French keyboard Danielle what time Danielle Egan I know Yeah.
7:03
Speaker 2: That's got to be. Yeah.
7:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:07
Speaker 2: One of ours. Borrowed in surely.
7:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think so. I think so. I think.
7:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:11
Speaker 1: If they were. Like either that. She's very far out front.
7:14
Speaker 1: Because if she had. If she was. One step away
7:16
Speaker 1: from Ireland. I think she'd go. What the fuck am I.
7:18
Speaker 1: Just shout. But instead she decided. To make a festival
7:22
Speaker 1: of this. So she thought. As she says here. I
7:25
Speaker 1: thought it'd be more fun. To have other people. Roaring
7:28
Speaker 1: at the. Well I'm saying roaring. But just screaming at
7:30
Speaker 1: the beach. In this day and age. I just figured
7:33
Speaker 1: more people could do with a good scream. So she
7:36
Speaker 1: flyered the event. And for many good reasons to scream.
7:41
Speaker 1: Including rent frustrations. And AI. Or unspecified anger. For people
7:49
Speaker 1: who wanted to show up. But they were actually going
7:50
Speaker 1: to have. It wasn't just shouting for the sake of shouting.
7:54
Speaker 1: They actually measured. People shouting at the fucking screaming. Screaming
7:59
Speaker 1: at the seat jerk. So this turned into a few
8:02
Speaker 1: hundred people showed up to this. A few hundred now, Ger.
8:05
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. Go on. I've thought on the matter, Tom.
8:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, lo and behold, there was a prize of a
8:14
Speaker 1: small golden megaphone, much like, you know, the golden cleric
8:17
Speaker 1: or the golden toilet dog. Give it away. This woman
8:23
Speaker 1: by the name of Olivia Guglielmotto. I mean, with a
8:26
Speaker 1: name like that, Jesus.
8:28
Speaker 2: Could be anyone with a name like that, Tom.
8:29
Speaker 1: She hit 129 decibels outdoors, roaring at sea. Clearly, a
8:34
Speaker 1: woman after her own heart, just angry at the sea,
8:37
Speaker 1: I'd say.
8:37
Speaker 2: You couldn't... Well, this is what I want to pull
8:39
Speaker 2: you up on, Tom, okay? Because there's a couple of
8:41
Speaker 2: things happening here. Number one, I actually quite like small-time
8:46
Speaker 2: events like this, where it's like, meet me in Central
8:48
Speaker 2: Park to eat cheese puffs. There was another game, it
8:51
Speaker 2: was like, meet me at Times Square. To smoke a
8:56
Speaker 2: pack of cigarettes. And there's like 500 people showed up.
9:00
Speaker 2: Smoking fags. So I'm not mad at something like that.
9:06
Speaker 2: Bit of diviment. I'll take that all day every day.
9:09
Speaker 2: Over some fucking. Finance bro that's like. Yeah I'm running
9:13
Speaker 2: a seminar. In the local conference hall. About how to
9:16
Speaker 2: get rich on stocks. Or do you ever see these
9:19
Speaker 2: fucking wasters. That'll be like. oh, I've hired the upstairs
9:22
Speaker 2: of a pub and we'll go and we'll teach you
9:24
Speaker 2: chat-up lines and how to hit women and shit like that.
9:27
Speaker 2: They used to do that in a pub in town
9:29
Speaker 2: where you and I both did comedy.
9:31
Speaker 1: And we both know the fella who was giving the
9:32
Speaker 1: classes as well at one stage.
9:33
Speaker 2: And we both know the fucking upshot of it as well.
9:35
Speaker 2: God love them. So, like, you know, I will take
9:39
Speaker 2: just 100, 200 people that are like, do you want
9:41
Speaker 2: to go fucking roar at the sea for the crack?
9:45
Speaker 2: And I can definitely see in this day and age, Tom,
9:47
Speaker 2: that several hundred people will be like, actually, do you
9:49
Speaker 2: know what? I have tried everything. I'm going to roar
9:54
Speaker 2: at the sea. This doesn't sound like a bad use
9:56
Speaker 2: of my time.
9:57
Speaker 1: But to be fair, I... this is where I'm saying
10:00
Speaker 1: we could probably they'd be roaring so this is what
10:02
Speaker 1: I want to pull you up.
10:04
Speaker 2: Yeah okay so I take it as these people are
10:07
Speaker 2: going to have a guttural scream into the void of
10:11
Speaker 2: the sea yes I think you are going to shout
10:17
Speaker 2: at the sea Punitively.
10:21
Speaker 1: Now you nailed it. When I read it first, I went, class.
10:26
Speaker 1: Do you know, that was my first thought. I literally thought, nice.
10:30
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Tom and Jerry show listeners out there.
10:33
Speaker 2: I don't think that these people from San Francisco were
10:35
Speaker 2: there roaring at the sea going, and nobody could escape
10:38
Speaker 2: from Alcatraz because of you.
10:40
Speaker 1: No, dude.
10:43
Speaker 2: Sure, I pray.
10:44
Speaker 1: I just pray because we do. We have a lot
10:45
Speaker 1: of American-based listeners that one of them showed up for
10:48
Speaker 1: the crack and just whispered, whispered after everybody roared and
10:50
Speaker 1: just went, fill it to fuck.
10:54
Speaker 2: I need to see you fill it. Okay, so that
10:57
Speaker 2: would be great. And if that's what you went there
10:58
Speaker 2: to do, if you're one of the four or five
11:00
Speaker 2: hundred people that went to this place to roar at
11:01
Speaker 2: the sea, but you, like Tom, went to chastise the sea.
11:06
Speaker 1: To see itself. Poseidon and his fucking cronies fuck you, basically.
11:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope you had a good time.
11:13
Speaker 1: For all the lives you've taken and all the.
11:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. And all the mankiness you possess. Fuck you.
11:20
Speaker 2: And all the geek that's in you. And the general...
11:23
Speaker 2: Places that we don't want to be. If that's what
11:25
Speaker 2: you went to Roar at to see for... Deadly. Hope
11:28
Speaker 2: you had a good time. I think that most of
11:30
Speaker 2: the people just went to sort of... Air out their frustrations.
11:34
Speaker 2: And I want to say, Tom, like... Primal screaming is not.
11:38
Speaker 1: It's not new. Sure it's not.
11:39
Speaker 2: It's a thing, isn't it?
11:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a thing. Like, but you... You're paying, you join...
11:43
Speaker 1: And the only thing is, like... I like the idea
11:46
Speaker 1: of it.
11:46
Speaker 2: But.
11:47
Speaker 1: I would say... Say if Gerry said to me, Tom,
11:49
Speaker 1: I'm going roaring into a cave.
11:52
Speaker 2: Do you want.
11:53
Speaker 1: I'd go, yeah. Yeah, because at least I'd go roaring
11:56
Speaker 1: with a fella that'd be kind of roaring for the same...
12:00
Speaker 1: from the same hymn sheet. But when you see the
12:02
Speaker 1: videos of these absolute... They are... Oh, these... Oh, these
12:07
Speaker 1: lads with bigger Adam's apples than their actual fucking necks.
12:10
Speaker 2: Do you know them lads?
12:11
Speaker 1: And they're going.
12:12
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of fucking noodle-armed young lads down there
12:15
Speaker 2: roaring at the sea.
12:15
Speaker 1: Oh, I do.
12:17
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you I think I talked about it
12:18
Speaker 2: on the podcast before where I got fucking done for
12:20
Speaker 2: turning right when there was no right turn by the
12:23
Speaker 2: guards and I drove up the road after getting the
12:25
Speaker 2: ticket and I just roared the inside of the car
12:28
Speaker 2: out and felt grand like did a roar that was
12:33
Speaker 2: building up for six months that accumulated with getting fucking
12:36
Speaker 2: nabbed punitively by the cops and then I just fucking
12:40
Speaker 2: roared the car roared the car windows shaky and then
12:44
Speaker 2: it was grand which is like, it was chiropractic, chiropractic,
12:49
Speaker 2: back cracking for the brain, Tom, is what I'll tell
12:51
Speaker 2: you it was. Chiropractic? So I highly recommend roaring, by
12:55
Speaker 2: the way.
12:56
Speaker 1: I do.
12:56
Speaker 2: Maybe not a mass, but like.
12:57
Speaker 1: This is, like I said before, I wouldn't be waiting.
13:01
Speaker 1: I certainly don't be waiting for a day that somebody
13:04
Speaker 1: gives me a shout to go, or, you know, to
13:06
Speaker 1: get a flyer going, do you want to come shouting
13:08
Speaker 1: at the sea, or do you want to go to
13:09
Speaker 1: a specified shouting place? I get a fair few shouts
13:12
Speaker 1: out during the week, I won't lie. Like, I'm, I'm
13:14
Speaker 1: up to.
13:16
Speaker 2: It's Monday.
13:16
Speaker 1: Ger, and it's my birthday, and I'm up to, like,
13:18
Speaker 1: nine already. Do you know what I mean?
13:19
Speaker 2: You've got a fair big... You've got a fair big
13:22
Speaker 2: forest out the back of you. I do.
13:24
Speaker 1: I do, I do.
13:24
Speaker 2: And, like, you know, roaring into a forest, Tom, I
13:28
Speaker 2: have to say, might feel pretty good. It feels... Like
13:33
Speaker 2: around about this time of night where it's just getting dark.
13:36
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Like, I'm not joking with you.
13:38
Speaker 1: For anybody who thinks, hey, I'd roar thick, beautiful, trust me.
13:41
Speaker 1: Give a go on a forest.
13:43
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
13:44
Speaker 1: What will the sea do, right? So you're just roaring
13:46
Speaker 1: into the void and your tininess becomes apparent when you're
13:50
Speaker 1: standing on the beach and nothing, no effect from the situation.
13:54
Speaker 1: You're roaring over a vast, you know, for all the world,
13:58
Speaker 1: if you believe some people, a very flat expanse. You
14:04
Speaker 1: roar into a forest and it echoes. You scare the
14:07
Speaker 1: fuck out of the wildlife. You know what I mean?
14:09
Speaker 1: You feel like you've done a thing.
14:10
Speaker 2: I do feel like if you... If you roar into like...
14:13
Speaker 2: If you roar into... A forest or something like that.
14:16
Speaker 2: And you see the birds all go... Yeah. And fly away.
14:18
Speaker 1: There'll be a deer fly out of somewhere.
14:20
Speaker 2: They'll be like.
14:21
Speaker 1: What the fuck? You know what I mean? There'll be some.
14:22
Speaker 2: If you're roaring at the sea. You're doing fuck all.
14:24
Speaker 2: And the actual fact of the sea. Is probably roaring
14:26
Speaker 2: more back at you. With the tide and all that
14:28
Speaker 2: kind of thing. So I can only imagine that you feel...
14:31
Speaker 2: If you wanted to feel powerful, roaring at the sea
14:34
Speaker 2: is the wrong place to do it.
14:36
Speaker 1: That's my point, you see. And even the powerful things
14:39
Speaker 1: in the sea have next to no vocal cords.
14:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if anything is a foot underneath that water,
14:44
Speaker 2: it's not going to hear you. 100%.
14:46
Speaker 1: And even, there is no roaring. Like, sharks don't roar
14:51
Speaker 1: at you.
14:52
Speaker 2: Do fish have ears?
14:55
Speaker 1: I don't know.
14:55
Speaker 2: Can fish hear? No. We often said that the Tom
14:58
Speaker 2: and Gerry show is not a learning podcast, but me
15:02
Speaker 2: and you both being a sum of 90 years old
15:05
Speaker 2: and neither one of us know if fish can hear shit.
15:07
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out.
15:08
Speaker 2: He's a new low, Tom.
15:09
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a limb. I'm going
15:11
Speaker 1: to go out on a limb here and I stand,
15:13
Speaker 1: I don't even stand to be corrected. I'm just going
15:14
Speaker 1: to say it.
15:15
Speaker 2: No. They don't.
15:17
Speaker 1: I just, I don't. I've no facts. I've nothing, no
15:20
Speaker 1: education to back this up at all. But I'm going
15:22
Speaker 1: to say, no, absolutely not.
15:26
Speaker 2: Okay. Nah. Dolphins do that. I fucked it. But they
15:30
Speaker 2: must hear it, right? They're not doing it for the crack, right?
15:33
Speaker 2: I don't know. I fear we're straying off.
15:35
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a dolphin having to come up every
15:37
Speaker 1: so often, not just blow out his blowhole, but actually
15:39
Speaker 1: just tap the side of his own head to get
15:41
Speaker 1: water out of it? Yeah, oh yeah.
15:43
Speaker 2: Can't hear shit down there. All this to say, okay, folks,
15:48
Speaker 2: if you're out there listening to the Tom and Jerry show,
15:51
Speaker 2: shit ain't going the way you'd like it to go.
15:53
Speaker 2: Seeing the price of diesel these days, Jesus Christ. Oh,
15:55
Speaker 2: mother of God. Don't wait around for a flyer to
15:58
Speaker 2: drive out to Malahide and roar at the sea. Just go.
16:02
Speaker 2: Go out the backyard.
16:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
16:03
Speaker 2: Just go roar. Just go roar. And like, you know,
16:07
Speaker 2: I know we said, like, you know, if you roar
16:09
Speaker 2: at the sea, the sea is one of the most
16:11
Speaker 2: powerful forces on earth. So you're going to get nothing
16:13
Speaker 2: from roaring at the sea. Don't take from that that
16:15
Speaker 2: you should instead go roar at a little old lady.
16:19
Speaker 2: Now I feel powerful. Oh, fuck you, granny. No, just,
16:24
Speaker 2: you know, we're just saying there's a middle ground. Go
16:26
Speaker 2: roar in a canal. How about that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:28
Speaker 2: There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Start down the Royal Canal.
16:32
Speaker 2: Give a bit of bucking and roaring and tearing.
16:34
Speaker 1: To be fair, you'll fit right in with a certain
16:36
Speaker 1: clientele that hang around at the Royal.
16:37
Speaker 2: Canal screaming and roaring. By roaring down the canal, I've
16:41
Speaker 2: never heard of this level of therapy. They're just roaring because...
16:45
Speaker 2: That's what they do. That's life for them. You know
16:47
Speaker 2: what I'm going to tell you, Tom? That's those lads
16:48
Speaker 2: down in the canal. And that's indeed those lads in
16:50
Speaker 2: San Francisco. May their God go with them. But they're...
16:54
Speaker 2: Not this lad, Tom. Every week we talk about this lad.
16:57
Speaker 2: And we've said it a hundred times on the Tom
16:59
Speaker 2: and Jerry show that this week it's a particular this lad. Like,
17:01
Speaker 2: holy shit, it's this lad. But I swear to God,
17:04
Speaker 2: this week, Tom, this lad.
17:09
Speaker 1: Now there's that guy.
17:11
Speaker 2: You, um.
17:11

17:41
Speaker 1: Wetrix what's her surname say that again Wetrix. Wetrix.
17:45
Speaker 2: Yes. Not as you might think. As the story goes on.
17:51
Speaker 1: An unfortunate name. I mean, a fortunate name if you
17:53
Speaker 1: go into a certain industry. But, you know.
17:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as the story involves, Joanna Wetnix would
18:02
Speaker 2: be a better name for her. Because Joanna Wetrix is
18:05
Speaker 2: a High Rocks athlete, Tom. And we've talked about High
18:08
Speaker 2: Rocks before in the past. High Rocks is... It's CrossFit,
18:15
Speaker 2: but even less crack. What can I tell you?
18:19
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not... I know it stands for, like, fucking
18:23
Speaker 1: high up rock star or something.
18:24
Speaker 2: It stands for higher rock star. It's like a get fit...
18:28
Speaker 2: crazy we've seen this come and go i.
18:30
Speaker 1: Mean it's taibo it's taibo yeah.
18:32
Speaker 2: It's it's billy blanks selling taibo tapes on the market

Speaker 1: P90x is it yeah it's just circuit training is it.
18:38
Speaker 2: It's circuit training lads so let's all fucking count.
18:40
Speaker 1: So that's i've often said this to you my trouble
18:43
Speaker 1: with circuit training and running in general and these kind
18:47
Speaker 1: of things it's like it's you mark the words of
18:49
Speaker 1: kennedy powers like i'll be fucking i don't want to
18:52
Speaker 1: train to train you know what i mean.

Speaker 2: And that is just what it is.
18:56
Speaker 1: Let me play a fucking sport. Don't be asking me
18:59
Speaker 1: to fucking train to train. What am I training for?
19:02
Speaker 2: The sport of high rocks, and by all accounts, and
19:04
Speaker 2: this is, again, news to me, that high rocks is
19:08
Speaker 2: a big concern and that there are competitions and meets
19:12
Speaker 2: and it all boils down to basically like how many
19:14
Speaker 2: burpees can you do in an hour? Right. If you
19:17
Speaker 2: can do 10 more burpees than the baby said, you're
19:19
Speaker 2: the winner, I suppose.
19:21
Speaker 1: It doesn't strike me, and there'll be people fucking roaring
19:24
Speaker 1: at this, as like super super fit we'll say right
19:29
Speaker 1: gets you winning it doesn't i read down through it
19:32
Speaker 1: and it ain't exactly like high high skill if you know.
19:38
Speaker 2: What i mean no it's it's high endurance and it's
19:41
Speaker 2: super hard like you know and like i've seen some
19:44
Speaker 2: of these people tom and their knees touch the ground
19:47
Speaker 2: i'm like no I don't want to partake in any
19:50
Speaker 2: sort of activity if one of my fucking knees touch
19:53
Speaker 2: the ground. No, you'll be all right.
19:54
Speaker 1: It's a sport being masked. It's training being masked as
19:58
Speaker 1: a sport.
19:59
Speaker 2: Exactly. Right, okay. And what I do want to say
20:02
Speaker 2: before I go any further, that I have a cousin
20:05
Speaker 2: that takes part in High Rocks. based activities and he,
20:10
Speaker 2: to a fairly high degree, I don't know where he's
20:13
Speaker 2: standing but what I can tell you is he's fucking
20:17
Speaker 2: shredded to bits. He is, without a shadow of a doubt,
20:21
Speaker 2: the fittest McBride that ever lived.
20:24
Speaker 1: What's he running from is what I'm asking, Ger?
20:25
Speaker 2: Is he okay? Well, he's a McBride. We've got a
20:28
Speaker 2: lot in the tank, buddy.
20:28
Speaker 1: He's running from biscuits, it sounds like. Fuck's sake. Give
20:31
Speaker 1: that lad a hug and a pint. Fuck, cut that
20:34
Speaker 1: shit out.
20:34
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm going to tell you? Like,
20:36
Speaker 2: you know, just honest to God, like, he honestly is, like,
20:38
Speaker 2: by a country mile, like, you know, the most fittest,
20:41
Speaker 2: rip-leanest son of a bitch to ever bear the name McBride.
20:46
Speaker 2: Looks great. Kicks ass. And I'm like, that's great, kid.
20:50
Speaker 2: I wish I'd have took part in that back when
20:53
Speaker 2: I was your age.
20:53
Speaker 1: Like, half these things that they're doing sound like they
20:56
Speaker 1: could be dirty. Like, there's a ski-erg.
20:59
Speaker 2: Okay. Yes.
21:00
Speaker 1: Sled push.
21:01
Speaker 2: Sled push.

Speaker 2: Me and have a right. You and me. Good at that.
21:17
Speaker 1: You just pick up some lad called Dermot from fucking Sligo. Okay.

Speaker 2: You just run into coppers and just grab the first
21:24
Speaker 2: bike you see.

Speaker 2: Okay.
21:26
Speaker 1: For when it's flooding. Great. And uh. 100 wall balls. Well, no.
21:32
Speaker 1: Sounds like fucking kinky more than anything else. But anyway,
21:36
Speaker 1: we have a lagging time.
21:38
Speaker 2: Anyway, we have completely forgotten what has made Joanna Wetrix
21:42
Speaker 2: this week.
21:43
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that fucking name. Like, come on.
21:46
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. If you haven't seen it, and

Speaker 1: What did the Chinese call it?
22:08
Speaker 2: Oh they call it high rocks.
22:09
Speaker 1: They know they don't.
22:10
Speaker 2: Well no. That's what they call it. For the purpose
22:12
Speaker 2: of this podcast. Staying on the air. They got. They
22:20
Speaker 2: were doing. All sorts of high rock shit. At this event.
22:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. But there's no way. They can
22:25
Speaker 1: pronounce it. Like high rocks. But anyway.
22:27
Speaker 2: I'm giving you every opportunity to go.
22:29
Speaker 1: Past this, Tom. I'm walking past it. Okay, all right. No, sorry.
22:32
Speaker 1: I'm going to burp you past this. Okay, fair enough.

22:39
Speaker 2: high-rocksing her life away, giving it her all, going for gold,
22:44
Speaker 2: eye of the tiger moment, when she experienced what is
22:47
Speaker 2: being described as an acute episode of faecal incontinence. Oh, no.
22:54
Speaker 1: The gearbox dropped out of her.
22:55
Speaker 2: You were right, Tom.
22:57
Speaker 1: She blew the sump.
22:58
Speaker 2: You or I would call that a dose of the shits. Oh, no.
23:04
Speaker 2: And this woman, shit. She did not shit her pants.
23:10
Speaker 2: She shit her socks. She filled her shoes with shit.
23:14
Speaker 2: She sprayed shit everywhere. This wasn't like God love her son,
23:18
Speaker 2: Joe Sullivan, when she had a bit of a clenched
23:20
Speaker 2: arse moment at the end of the thing. No, she
23:23
Speaker 2: shit herself and fell back in it.
23:26
Speaker 1: Oh, like Team America levels of skitter.
23:29
Speaker 2: Like Team America levels of skitter. Volcanic shit. Not like,
23:35
Speaker 2: you know, if you pause it here, you can kind
23:37
Speaker 2: of see that, you know, there may be a little
23:38
Speaker 2: bit of burn behind her or anything like that.
23:40
Speaker 1: She filled a nappy like.
23:42
Speaker 2: She had shit running down her legs.
23:45
Speaker 1: Like a fucking poor old cow. Like an actual cow.
23:48
Speaker 2: Like a fucking chocolate fountain, right? Now... Charlie in the
23:55
Speaker 2: chocolate factory is just like fucking Augustus Gloop running around. And,
24:04
Speaker 2: you know, I get that these things happen when you're
24:07
Speaker 2: an athlete and you're on all sorts of dehydration trials
24:11
Speaker 2: and super hydrated and you drank five bottles of Lucozade
24:14
Speaker 2: Sport that morning and you had the wee caffeine jellies
24:17
Speaker 2: and you had like the pre-workout mix and all that
24:20
Speaker 2: kind of thing. Like, I've tried all these pre-workout mixes
24:24
Speaker 2: down through the years, Tom. And nine times out of ten,
24:26
Speaker 2: what they are is just like a super big dose
24:27
Speaker 2: of caffeine. And if it hits you at the wrong time,
24:30
Speaker 2: you'll be in the gym and you'll be like, oh,
24:32
Speaker 2: I need to leave here right away. Oh, yeah.
24:34
Speaker 1: There's one thing caffeine will do for you. That will
24:36
Speaker 1: get you moving. I'm about to fill the talks.
24:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. Old Joanna felt the call of nature around about
24:42
Speaker 2: Burpee 99. And by the time her knee hit the
24:44
Speaker 2: floor on Burpee 100, she fucking shit uphill and downhill. Fuck.
24:50
Speaker 1: Getting held tonight and.
24:52
Speaker 2: That would have gotten her that would have gotten her
24:58
Speaker 2: a commendation on the Tom and Jerry show that would
25:00
Speaker 2: have gotten her a mention it wouldn't have gotten her
25:03
Speaker 2: this lad no no no what got her this lad
25:06
Speaker 2: status Tom is she just kept going she drove on
25:10
Speaker 2: she drove on she continued to do the Borkby lunges
25:14
Speaker 2: she continued to do the sled push Tom she sat
25:18
Speaker 2: on the rowing machine And rode a thousand metres.
25:21
Speaker 1: I mean we've all gone on the bench. After a
25:22
Speaker 1: fellow was a bit sweaty. Then wipe it down after himself.
25:24
Speaker 1: And you were going. You're rotting cunt you. But she
25:27
Speaker 1: sat down.
25:28
Speaker 2: She left a trail. Of yellow liquid shit. Around her.
25:33
Speaker 2: For the entire course. Of the High Rocks course. And
25:37
Speaker 2: it's not a one and done. It's it's it's. You
25:40
Speaker 2: do yours. And someone comes behind you. And does theirs.
25:42
Speaker 2: And someone comes behind them. And does theirs.
25:44
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. Circuit dress.
25:45
Speaker 2: There's like a row of people. Behind her. And they're like,
25:49
Speaker 2: everybody's out to win. Everybody's out to do all this
25:51
Speaker 2: shit in a faster time.
25:52
Speaker 1: Literally, yeah.
25:54
Speaker 2: And Joanna won and was delighted.
25:57
Speaker 1: Oh, she did.
25:57
Speaker 2: She's all sort of like, winners win, what can I
26:00
Speaker 2: tell you? But she beat everybody by a wide margin.
26:02
Speaker 2: You know why, Tom? Because everybody that was coming behind her.
26:05
Speaker 1: Didn't wear fucking wellies.
26:06
Speaker 2: Had to compete with the fact that they were now
26:09
Speaker 2: wading in human shit every step of the way. And
26:14
Speaker 2: that'll shave a couple of minutes off your personal best,
26:17
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much.
26:18
Speaker 1: I mean, in all fairness, if you talk about a defence,
26:21
Speaker 1: you know, people try to psych each other out. You know,
26:23
Speaker 1: you often saw, anybody watch like Pumping Iron, you know,
26:26
Speaker 1: how Arnold Schwarzenegger was psyching out Boral Lufringo beforehand with
26:29
Speaker 1: Chet and stuff like that.
26:31
Speaker 2: Yeah. It happens.
26:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, poor man can't hear a fucking thing. But
26:36
Speaker 1: it happens in all sports where he, like even yesterday,
26:39
Speaker 1: my fella, King of Shithousery, tapping a lot on the
26:43
Speaker 1: calf with his early And the umphal turned around only
26:46
Speaker 1: for the ball to come whizzing past that, letting my
26:47
Speaker 1: fella go, you know, shithousery is all part of sport.
26:52
Speaker 1: But quite literal shithousery, where you shith all over the
26:57
Speaker 1: house and leave a trail of scuttle behind you that
27:01
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see in the fucking mart on a Thursday. Like,
27:05
Speaker 1: this woman, I mean, winners win and all the rest
27:07
Speaker 1: of it. But at the same time, at what point
27:09
Speaker 1: are The High Rocks lads in Beijing stepping in with
27:13
Speaker 1: a hose going, here, here, fucking melt a night guard.
27:15
Speaker 2: Come on, come on. This is what came to it.
27:16
Speaker 2: There was a massive fallout of her, massive fallout, Tom.
27:20
Speaker 2: Number one, and this is delicious here, I'm sorry, but
27:22
Speaker 2: she was dropped. The sports line that sponsored her dropped her.
27:27
Speaker 2: She had a line of clothing, Tom, you can't make
27:30
Speaker 2: this up, with Puma. I mean, like, Puma, you should
27:41
Speaker 2: be running to sign that woman.
27:43
Speaker 1: Oh my Jesus. Like, get a fucking pair of knickers
27:48
Speaker 1: on her, or like a pair of incontinence knickers on
27:50
Speaker 1: that girl afterwards.
27:51
Speaker 2: Get, get, get, get, you know.
27:53
Speaker 1: Puma.
27:53
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just need fresh gear. Puma. They dropped her.
27:58
Speaker 2: There was war as well because the people, the High
28:00
Speaker 2: Rocks people, were taken to task for, number one, Not
28:06
Speaker 2: yanking her off the fucking track and saying, excuse me, missus,
28:09
Speaker 2: you've shit everywhere.
28:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you stand over that gully for five minutes, please?
28:15
Speaker 2: It wouldn't just, like, you know, there's besto running down
28:16
Speaker 2: your legs. It wouldn't do me a wee favour. If
28:19
Speaker 2: you're not going to have the manners to leave this course,
28:21
Speaker 2: we're going to take you off it. Come to find out, Tom,
28:24
Speaker 2: there's nothing in the High Rocks rulebook that says if
28:28
Speaker 2: you're spraying human waste from either end of yourself, all
28:33
Speaker 2: over the place, you are disqualified. They're just like, well, shit,
28:36
Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, it's not in the rule book.
28:38
Speaker 2: If she wants to shit, let her shit all over
28:40
Speaker 2: the place, you know?
28:41
Speaker 1: Like a dirty protest, like the way the farmers in
28:43
Speaker 1: London sprayed, like, the bank, the financial district with slurry tanks.
28:47
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, no, no. She turned the Beijing High Rocks
28:50
Speaker 2: event into fucking long cash over here. So she did, right?
28:52
Speaker 1: I was wondering at what point long cash was going
28:55
Speaker 1: to come into this. So she's squinting away there, driving on.
29:01
Speaker 1: She's going from, was it the burpees? She lost her,
29:04
Speaker 1: the undercarriage.
29:06
Speaker 2: From what I can see, it seems to be around
29:07
Speaker 2: about the burpee thing.
29:08
Speaker 1: So she's on to the row.
29:09
Speaker 2: The burpee would be, how would I say this? It
29:14
Speaker 2: would be where your arse is the most compromised, I guess.
29:17
Speaker 1: Then she's on to the row after that. I mean,
29:18
Speaker 1: during the row, because it's a thousand metre row. Is
29:21
Speaker 1: that the point where they're out with the book? And
29:23
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of lads going, go, go, go, keep, keep, keep, keep,
29:25
Speaker 1: keep going.
29:26
Speaker 2: Just while we have you there. Just while you're in
29:27
Speaker 2: front of us. We know you're trying to concentrate. Could
29:29
Speaker 2: you kind of stop shitting all over this, love?

29:42
Speaker 2: car wash there uh joanna it must be said was

Speaker 2: at the back of the High Rocks where she was
29:58
Speaker 2: being treated for extreme dehydration.
30:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:02
Speaker 2: Because number one, she was after competing in a very,
30:04
Speaker 2: very gruelling physical exercise. But she'd also shit her spinal
30:09
Speaker 2: fluid out.
30:12
Speaker 1: Even to the point her eyes were dry.
30:14
Speaker 2: She is crinkly. But she's unrepentant and is all kind
30:18
Speaker 2: of winners win. But then only Tom in the last
30:21
Speaker 2: day or two. As we record, she has handed back
30:25
Speaker 2: her winner's medal and relinquished her victory.
30:28
Speaker 1: She gave it a wash.
30:29
Speaker 2: Handed back her winner's medal and the person she was
30:31
Speaker 2: handing it to is like, I don't want that fucking thing.
30:33
Speaker 1: Fuck that limit.
30:34
Speaker 2: Do me a wee favour and just clean that. Run
30:37
Speaker 2: it onto the tap before you hand it to me.
30:39
Speaker 1: Here, I tell you what. I'm going to slide this
30:41
Speaker 1: Domestus across the table to you.

Speaker 2: Just do me a favour, yeah. Yes. Um, so that
30:53
Speaker 2: is Joanna Wetrix, aka Joanna Wetnix. Um, and all we
30:59
Speaker 2: can say is if you are engaging in any sort
31:01
Speaker 2: of physical activity, uh, please do so carefully and also just,
31:07
Speaker 2: you know, go to the toilet before, not during.
31:11
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. If there was ever a thing when, like,
31:15
Speaker 1: I was ever playing sports, the body just seems to
31:18
Speaker 1: say it beforehand.
31:19
Speaker 2: Right?
31:20
Speaker 1: Time to back in the truck here and, uh, Sort
31:22
Speaker 1: yourself out.
31:23
Speaker 2: Because.
31:24
Speaker 1: You do not... Like it's just a natural thing. Where you...
31:27
Speaker 1: But now okay. Because they're murdering through this pre-workout. And
31:31
Speaker 1: those fucking gels are brutal.
31:34
Speaker 2: Brutal on you.
31:34
Speaker 1: They're fucking brutal on the body.
31:36
Speaker 2: They'll get you.
31:38
Speaker 1: And no doubt.
31:39
Speaker 2: She.
31:39
Speaker 1: All she had was liquid in her at that stage.
31:41
Speaker 1: And it's just... She's cleaning out. Like she's giving herself
31:44
Speaker 1: a fucking enema. In front of the fucking... The Beijing
31:47
Speaker 1: fucking community.
31:47
Speaker 2: And not for nothing as well Tom. There's nerves as well.
31:50
Speaker 2: Now I... I proudly say that I've never shit myself
31:54
Speaker 2: in public. But I remember a couple of times when
31:56
Speaker 2: I'd be getting up to do comedy gigs, when you're
31:58
Speaker 2: waiting for your name to be called, you'd be like, oh,
32:00
Speaker 2: I'm going to shit myself right now. I'm literally, oh God,
32:03
Speaker 2: I wish that, you're just going to be 10 minutes
32:04
Speaker 2: to go to the toilet. Nope, they call your name
32:06
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh God, I have to go up
32:08
Speaker 2: here for 20 minutes. I'm going to shit myself in seven.
32:11
Speaker 2: There's no way around it. And then you go up
32:13
Speaker 2: and do the gig and you drive 200 mile home.
32:16
Speaker 2: And it's only when you get home, you're like, yeah,
32:17
Speaker 2: I never went to the toilet at all.
32:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:20
Speaker 2: I didn't need that. I didn't need that at all.
32:21
Speaker 2: That was just sort of an option.
32:23
Speaker 1: What's the phrase? I've got a two-inch grip on an
32:25
Speaker 1: eight-inch shit here.
32:30
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Joanna, we wish you well in your future endeavors,
32:33
Speaker 2: whatsoever they may be. You've got to get that Puma
32:36
Speaker 2: sponsorship back.
32:36
Speaker 1: You've got to get Pampers on board. Are you fucking
32:39
Speaker 1: joking me?
32:40
Speaker 2: And you've got to get some roughage in your diet
32:41
Speaker 2: as well, love. But, you know, we all need to
32:44
Speaker 2: take care of ourselves a little bit more. And even now, Tom,
32:46
Speaker 2: you are advancing in years as we speak. It's one
32:49
Speaker 2: of the rare actual... We've only got about six weeks
32:54
Speaker 2: of this, Tom, where you and I are both 45. Yeah.
32:57
Speaker 2: Because I turned 46 now in November. So, yeah, for
33:01
Speaker 2: the first time in a long time, me and Tom
33:02
Speaker 2: are the same age. That's 45, ladies and gentlemen. 45
33:05
Speaker 2: years on this rock is a long time. We've seen
33:07
Speaker 2: a lot of shit come. And a lot of shit go.
33:10
Speaker 2: Doesn't that lead us nicely into the last segment of
33:12
Speaker 2: the show, which we call We Remember When. When I
33:15
Speaker 2: was a young lad, 20 or 30 or 40 years ago.
33:18
Speaker 2: There's a phrase, Tom, that has grown in use more
33:25
Speaker 2: and more over the last couple of years. It's a
33:27
Speaker 2: phrase called Nepo Baby.
33:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nepo Baby, which of course is.
33:32
Speaker 2: You're a Nepo Baby.
33:33
Speaker 1: Which of course is... Everybody knows what it is at
33:36
Speaker 1: this stage. I mean, you know, you're... Dad's got near gig, essentially.
33:42
Speaker 2: You're a famous person with a famous parent or a
33:46
Speaker 2: famous aunt, uncle, somebody. And more and more we find
33:53
Speaker 2: that the people that are in front of us in
33:55
Speaker 2: terms of rock stars, actors and the such, like, wow,
33:59
Speaker 2: you know, they're deadly. They really came through the system.
34:02
Speaker 2: Their talent has won. them, favour, gigs, superstardom, well done.
34:07
Speaker 2: And then you look at Wikipedia and their da has
34:09
Speaker 2: like a blue name.
34:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:14
Speaker 2: Wait, why does your mam have her own Wikipedia page?
34:16
Speaker 2: Wait a second, who are you now?
34:17
Speaker 1: You did the whole time. Or you come across, the
34:20
Speaker 1: other one I seem to come across when it's British
34:22
Speaker 1: actors who are really good or whatever and they popped
34:24
Speaker 1: up in a thing and you're like, fucking hell, class,
34:27
Speaker 1: this person, you know. And then you look and it's like,
34:30
Speaker 1: you know, Radha Eaton.
34:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:33
Speaker 1: Right, okay, fuck, fuck's sake. You're walked, you're, you know,
34:36
Speaker 1: you're fucking walked in the door, like, you know. But
34:40
Speaker 1: you do have to fucking pick the ball and run
34:42
Speaker 1: with it when you run with it. But it's something
34:45
Speaker 1: that it's always been there. Do you know what I mean?
34:48
Speaker 1: Because it's always been there, but I never really put
34:51
Speaker 1: much thought into it. And it seems to me the
34:53
Speaker 1: road is getting a bit crowded now with these fucking...
34:58
Speaker 1: second second phases of people the.
35:00
Speaker 2: Second second generation third generation stars and like you know
35:04
Speaker 2: people rebel against it naturally tom because it seems unfair
35:08
Speaker 2: like well fuck you uh like uh um uh kurt
35:15
Speaker 2: russell's son wyatt russell fuck you you're kurt russell's dad
35:19
Speaker 2: well you know you weren't going to be a plumber
35:20
Speaker 2: you know you weren't going to be uh a manure
35:25
Speaker 2: salesman you know you kind of you know you got
35:27
Speaker 2: yourself in it uh and the term itself nepo baby
35:30
Speaker 2: tom is relatively new it came about in our lifetime
35:34
Speaker 2: earliest reports of a nepotism baby is coined around about
35:37
Speaker 2: 2010 and then that got shortened to nepo baby by
35:42
Speaker 2: 2020 took them 10 years to shorten nepotism baby down
35:45
Speaker 2: to nepo baby i mean that's to be fine to
35:47
Speaker 2: be honest i feel like you could have got there
35:49
Speaker 2: quicker you know when i heard it first i.
35:50
Speaker 1: Thought it was a condition Do you know what I mean?
35:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, we raised money for the Nepo babies.
35:59
Speaker 1: The Nepo babies of Romania. Poor old difference.
36:01
Speaker 2: Poor old difference. Poor old fucking Nepo babies of Mexico City. No,
36:07
Speaker 2: and people seem to think that it is a new thing.
36:11
Speaker 2: And Tom, it's one of the rare instances on We
36:15
Speaker 2: Remember When where we remember not when a thing changed,
36:19
Speaker 2: but when a thing was always there.
36:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we remember when it wasn't a thing.
36:25
Speaker 2: It's kind of what we're talking about. It was a
36:29
Speaker 2: bit more like, I guess, I don't know, maybe people were,
36:31
Speaker 2: I can't say people were less bitter in the 80s,
36:33
Speaker 2: because we were some of the most bitter bastards going
36:36
Speaker 2: in the 80s and 90s. But I think people forget
36:41
Speaker 2: that a lot of famous people now, as we would
36:45
Speaker 2: know famous people and celebrities, are in actual fact what
36:47
Speaker 2: would be classified these days as nepo-babies. I guess maybe
36:51
Speaker 2: just because their dads and moms have since passed away,
36:56
Speaker 2: people might just think, well, Michael Douglas is an original. No, no,
37:01
Speaker 2: you're forgetting about his dad, one of the most famous
37:03
Speaker 2: people of his era, Kirk Douglas.
37:06
Speaker 1: Kirk Douglas, yeah.
37:07
Speaker 2: You're forgetting that Michael Douglas is the original Nepo baby.
37:11
Speaker 2: He's without a shadow of a doubt a Nepo baby.
37:14
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen is a Nepo baby. So is Emilio Estevez,
37:17
Speaker 2: for that matter.
37:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:19
Speaker 2: You know, this is not a new thing. And it's
37:21
Speaker 2: not just, a lot of times people will be like,
37:23
Speaker 2: Nepple baby's untalented. Fuck them. Cream rises to the top, Tom.
37:29
Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is cream rises to the top.
37:31
Speaker 2: I'll give you a good case study here.
37:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:34
Speaker 2: Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers and they're both
37:39
Speaker 2: sons of Lloyd Bridges. Yeah. Lloyd Bridges is a big
37:43
Speaker 2: star and his two lads got jobs in the acting.
37:47
Speaker 2: Jeff Bridges went on to be Jeff Bridges. and Bo
37:50
Speaker 2: Bridges went on to be Bo Bridges. You know, Jeff
37:54
Speaker 2: was very good at it. We all love Jeff Bridges.
37:58
Speaker 2: Bo Bridges, I'm sure he's starring in some Hallmark Christmas
38:02
Speaker 2: movies this year as a grumpy old man in a town.
38:08
Speaker 2: It's not an automatic entry to success.
38:11
Speaker 1: It's not, but you do get, like there's some actors
38:15
Speaker 1: you've seen improve over the year, you know, over the years.
38:18
Speaker 1: And there's some where you kind of go, Oh, fucking hell,
38:20
Speaker 1: this fella's still got it.
38:22
Speaker 2: He hasn't got it, yeah.
38:23
Speaker 1: But you know what? You can be nearly masked by
38:25
Speaker 1: the size of the production they're dropped into too sometimes.
38:27
Speaker 1: You're like, are they... Like, I would argue, I would
38:32
Speaker 1: argue from time to time, like, I'm looking at Tom
38:34
Speaker 1: Cruise going, is he the same fella in every fucking thing?
38:37
Speaker 2: Like, do you know? Like, you.
38:41
Speaker 1: Know, Vince Vaughn, same bloke and everything.
38:44
Speaker 2: Fucking hell.
38:44
Speaker 1: You know, there's times when you're like, you're a grand actor, like,
38:48
Speaker 1: you know, but are you.
38:50
Speaker 2: Are you that good?
38:51
Speaker 1: Like, are you breaking the mold, Cillian Murphy style?
38:53
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
38:54
Speaker 1: Like, you're fucking not, like, you know.
38:56
Speaker 2: No, why don't we throw in, like, fucking Bill Pullman's
39:00
Speaker 2: kid there and see if he can give it a go.
39:03
Speaker 2: You know, just give them a chance.
39:05
Speaker 1: But you're right, some people can really run with it. Like,
39:08
Speaker 1: John Voight's daughter, Angelina Jolie.
39:10
Speaker 2: There you go.
39:11
Speaker 1: They gave her the ball and she ran with it. Like,
39:13
Speaker 1: she made hay, like, didn't she?
39:16
Speaker 2: And, you know, not for nothing as well. Yeah, her
39:19
Speaker 2: dad was one of the more famous Oscar-nominated, Oscar-winning actors
39:22
Speaker 2: of all time. uh you wouldn't have expected that john
39:26
Speaker 2: would be the father too one of the best looking women.
39:29
Speaker 1: Yeah i know yeah it's like even john the.
39:31
Speaker 2: World had ever seen at the time like.
39:34
Speaker 1: He has to be looking at uh the missus at
39:36
Speaker 1: the time uh what was her name uh marshalline bertrand
39:41
Speaker 1: and that's been gone i.
39:42
Speaker 2: Gotta see a picture of that lady to see how
39:44
Speaker 2: They watered down the John White of it all.
39:48
Speaker 1: I think the genes are strong from the French side.
39:50
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you. We've been talking a lot, Tom,
39:54
Speaker 2: now about Nepo babies in acting as well. Where the
39:58
Speaker 2: rubber hits the road a little bit is Nepo babies
40:00
Speaker 2: in sport. And I've got to tell you, when it's
40:02
Speaker 2: a Nepo baby in sport, it just doesn't qualify. I've
40:05
Speaker 2: got to tell you, I don't give a fuck whose
40:07
Speaker 2: son you are. You're not getting a place on a
40:09
Speaker 2: Premier League team unless you cut it. what's the man
40:13
Speaker 2: what's your man called Alfie Haaland.
40:15
Speaker 1: Haaland yeah the big fella yeah the big.
40:17
Speaker 2: Fella and his dad was the guy that Roy Keane
40:21
Speaker 2: broke his leg what was he called oh yes so
40:24
Speaker 2: it's Erling Erling Haaland this is how much football I
40:27
Speaker 2: watch Erling Haaland I can just about know the fucking names.
40:30
Speaker 1: And Alfie was the father and Alfie was the father yeah.
40:33
Speaker 2: Alfie didn't go into Manchester City and say come here
40:35
Speaker 2: will you give the young lad a try there you.
40:37
Speaker 1: Know like No, but do you know what?
40:39
Speaker 2: He was good and got his spot. So I can't
40:42
Speaker 2: even know the place itself in sports.
40:43
Speaker 1: One thing I will say, right, and I know this,
40:46
Speaker 1: there are many a good lad has fallen through the
40:49
Speaker 1: cracks because they weren't spotted, right? Now, I'm not suggesting
40:52
Speaker 1: that was me, but it does happen. But if you
40:55
Speaker 1: have a famous surname, all eyes will be on you.
40:59
Speaker 2: It gets you in the door, I suppose.
41:01
Speaker 1: If you'd get, and these, especially these big Premier League teams,
41:04
Speaker 1: they have academies at under eight. Do you know what
41:07
Speaker 1: I mean?
41:07
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, yeah. So I guess you have to get
41:09
Speaker 2: put forward to these things.
41:10
Speaker 1: And if you do, no, you're still going to make it.
41:12
Speaker 1: And they can keep you for a couple of years
41:13
Speaker 1: because you're not costing them anything, really. Like a barricade and,
41:17
Speaker 1: you know, whatever. But it gets to a point where
41:20
Speaker 1: a man is a young fella, probably just fell by
41:23
Speaker 1: the wayside, even with a famous surname. And you just go, well,
41:27
Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do with him. But if you
41:30
Speaker 1: do end up in Ireland, who's probably 6'5, And looks
41:34
Speaker 1: like something. Straight out of the Northman.
41:36
Speaker 2: He's just a robot footballer.
41:38
Speaker 1: He's a. You know. But. You do get. The doors
41:43
Speaker 1: open for you. And I'm not saying. That that's the
41:45
Speaker 1: making of you.
41:46
Speaker 2: But.
41:47
Speaker 1: Manny's a lad.
41:48
Speaker 2: You will get. You might get an opportunity. That other
41:50
Speaker 2: young lads. Might not have gotten. I'll give you that.
41:52
Speaker 1: There you go.
41:53
Speaker 2: And Tom. That those of us among us. Either. The
41:57
Speaker 2: listenership of this podcast. Or indeed the hosts. That those
42:02
Speaker 2: of us. Who have not gotten a. Job. thanks to
42:04
Speaker 2: our da. Small scale and all, as it may have been.
42:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:10
Speaker 2: It must be said, you know. Anybody out there whose
42:13
Speaker 2: da is a butcher, yeah, you know, he probably put
42:17
Speaker 2: butchers and sons on the fucking, on the front of
42:19
Speaker 2: the shop.
42:20
Speaker 1: Anybody, I would urge, you've got your computer open there.
42:24
Speaker 1: I want you to type in the name Henry.
42:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:31
Speaker 1: To a laggy. And it's... Yeah, I got him here.
42:35
Speaker 2: Samoan former rugby union.
42:36
Speaker 1: Look at the fucking size of that, man.
42:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
42:39
Speaker 1: Now, I want you to type in... Get rid of
42:43
Speaker 1: Henry and type in Pasovo. Exactly as it sounds.
42:48
Speaker 2: Pasovo to a laggy. Yeah, that's... Yeah. Yeah. These are
42:52
Speaker 2: just fucking massive humans.
42:53
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, and the old man
42:56
Speaker 1: was like 120 clicks. This boy, this boy who would
43:00
Speaker 1: have gotten, in fairness, the door open for him. But he,
43:03
Speaker 1: at 19 years of age, is 146 clicks and 6
43:06
Speaker 1: foot 5. Yeah. I could cover ground like a fucking racehorse. So,
43:12
Speaker 1: you know, genetics and stuff, you can go, I don't
43:14
Speaker 1: know if he's going to be any good at all.
43:16
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. But you know what? We'll give him a go.
43:19
Speaker 1: We'll roll the dice on this kid.
43:22
Speaker 2: I find it interesting when famous footballers and famous sports
43:26
Speaker 2: stars have kids who clearly can't play football, don't have
43:30
Speaker 2: fucking boots without a hike, And they decide, well, instead
43:32
Speaker 2: I'll be famous in some other regards. And that's when
43:35
Speaker 2: you get the Brooklyn Beckhams of this world. Yeah. With
43:39
Speaker 2: respect to Brooklyn Beckham, he might be one of the
43:41
Speaker 2: fucking most useless people in God's green area.
43:43
Speaker 1: Do you know what? It is a person that has
43:46
Speaker 1: completely passed me by. I don't even fully know, what
43:49
Speaker 1: was this controversy over the mother? Was she twerking at
43:52
Speaker 1: his fucking wedding or what?
43:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, she took on with upstaging his missus. At the wedding.
44:00
Speaker 2: Up to this point, Brooklyn Beckham's one shot at life
44:03
Speaker 2: was that he was a famous photographer. And when everybody
44:07
Speaker 2: went to his exhibition of photography, they were like, oh,
44:10
Speaker 2: this is shit. Really? This is what happens. This is
44:13
Speaker 2: what happens when you give a child an Instamatic camera
44:16
Speaker 2: at a wedding.
44:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
44:17
Speaker 2: This is not fucking good, brother. And he just appears
44:21
Speaker 2: to have settled back into a life of just being
44:23
Speaker 2: rich and famous and fuck having a job. Which is admirable.
44:28
Speaker 1: I think, do you know what, there is that, like,
44:29
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got complete dipshits. Like, you know, at least,
44:34
Speaker 1: I'm not really going to make it at this, because
44:36
Speaker 1: it comes to a point too, and if a fella was,
44:38
Speaker 1: you know, 18, 19, he can convince himself, and the
44:42
Speaker 1: people around him will convince themselves. But eventually, as you said,
44:45
Speaker 1: the cream will rise to the top. When the cream
44:46
Speaker 1: ain't fucking rising, eventually a fella with a half a
44:48
Speaker 1: brain will go off. But then you fellas, like Tom
44:50
Speaker 1: Hanks' son, who thinks he's a reggae star. you're like
44:56
Speaker 1: just shut up and take a gig on set take
44:59
Speaker 1: a gig on set lad.
45:00
Speaker 2: Do you know Tom Hanks has two sons by my
45:03
Speaker 2: count he might have seven for all the fuck I
45:05
Speaker 2: know but he's two that I know of he's got
45:06
Speaker 2: Colin and he's got Chet and Chet is the Jamaican
45:11
Speaker 2: Bumba Clat rapper and Colin Hanks shows up on TV
45:15
Speaker 2: every now and then he's not a megastar or anything
45:17
Speaker 2: like that but he fucking knows what he's doing and
45:19
Speaker 2: he won't waste time.
45:22
Speaker 1: Did you tell me he's brother His brother falls in
45:24
Speaker 1: for a bit of a gig every so often.
45:26
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tom Hanks' brother, Jimmy Hanks. That's amazing. Yeah,
45:29
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks' brother, Jimmy Hanks, does the voices of Woody
45:31
Speaker 2: in computer games that Tom Hanks can't be bothered to do.
45:34
Speaker 2: And they're like, well, yeah, I suppose he is a
45:37
Speaker 2: nepo baby, but Tom, we need someone to do the
45:39
Speaker 2: voice of Woody when you're not around. Who do we get?
45:40
Speaker 2: Will we roll out the casting? Will we put out
45:43
Speaker 2: a call? Nah, you're all right. I have a brother
45:45
Speaker 2: at home doing fuck all. I give him a shout out.
45:50
Speaker 2: who else do we have Tom.
45:51
Speaker 1: I was just looking up older ones because I knew
45:54
Speaker 1: because some of these old stars of Hollywood I like
45:57
Speaker 1: the idea you remember the real stars of Hollywood the
45:59
Speaker 1: stars like but you know you go back to the
46:03
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda Henry Fonda I heard that was Henry Fonda
46:06
Speaker 1: yeah Carrie Fisher her old man before she was Princess
46:10
Speaker 1: Lear Carrie Fisher Jamie Lee Curtis yeah yeah yeah Angelica
46:15
Speaker 1: Houston yeah fuck you're right yeah absolutely Filmmaker John Huston
46:20
Speaker 1: and granddaughter to actor Walter Huston. So, I mean, the
46:22
Speaker 1: family beageness. But Angelica Huston was fucking brilliant. You know
46:26
Speaker 1: what I mean?
46:26
Speaker 2: But Angelica, you know, when you're good, you're good. What
46:29
Speaker 2: can I tell you? And it must be said as well, sometimes, Tom,
46:33
Speaker 2: you can have a famous relative, but what used to
46:36
Speaker 2: be to you is neither here nor there. For example,
46:41
Speaker 2: George Clooney is a nepo baby. George Clooney's aunt is
46:45
Speaker 2: Rosemary Clooney. who was in White Christmas and she was
46:49
Speaker 2: a singer of her own right. Big star in the
46:54
Speaker 2: 50s and 60s. Now, by the time the 80s came
46:57
Speaker 2: around and George was looking for roles in fucking Killer
46:59
Speaker 2: Tomatoes and shit like this, you needn't think that his
47:04
Speaker 2: auntie Rosemary got him that gig because his auntie Rosemary
47:07
Speaker 2: had been quite overcome by alcoholism at that stage and
47:10
Speaker 2: perhaps might not have recognised George on the street, God
47:13
Speaker 2: love her. And if she was going to get anyone
47:15
Speaker 2: a job, she was going to get her son, Miguel Ferrer,
47:17
Speaker 2: from Robocop a gig. Because they're cousins. And with respect,
47:22
Speaker 2: George Clooney was going to be all right. And Miguel Ferrer, looks-wise,
47:26
Speaker 2: needed all the help he could get.
47:29
Speaker 1: But you know what? The door has to be open
47:32
Speaker 1: for you at certain points, too. And as we talked
47:34
Speaker 1: about with sport and with acting, you can make a
47:37
Speaker 1: fucking idiot of yourself, too. But this goes way back.
47:41
Speaker 1: This goes fucking way back. But like that, it stayed
47:43
Speaker 1: underneath the radar and it was comfortable enough for people
47:45
Speaker 1: to go, his old man was... Because would you believe it? Like,
47:48
Speaker 1: fellas who blew up, and you'd be kind of raging
47:51
Speaker 1: if you were the grandfather or the father who kind
47:52
Speaker 1: of put him in the right position. Charles Darwin, as
47:55
Speaker 1: we all know Charles Darwin, his grandfather was actually Erasmus
47:59
Speaker 1: Darwin and he was a physician, botanist and naturalist and
48:02
Speaker 1: wrote Theory of Evolution in his 1794 book, Zumia. Now,
48:09
Speaker 1: fuck you... Fuck you Charles Yeah Charles What the fuck
48:12
Speaker 1: are you doing shit And Rezzy His old His granddaddy
48:16
Speaker 1: Rezzy Had the fucking Already had this licked Rezzy.
48:20
Speaker 2: Had the hard yards then He would.
48:22
Speaker 1: Absolutely It's not even like Darwin suddenly turns up With
48:25
Speaker 1: the theory of No no Grandad came up With that
48:29
Speaker 1: fucking That's.
48:29
Speaker 2: A family business That's literally.
48:31
Speaker 1: Like Fucking your man from Goodyear Or Dunlop And the
48:34
Speaker 1: grandson going I've invented a tyre And the grandfather going
48:37
Speaker 1: Have you.
48:37
Speaker 2: Fuck You've invented dog shite son I came onto this, Tom,
48:42
Speaker 2: you know, looking to roast Brooklyn Beckham with a bit
48:45
Speaker 2: or two. I didn't know I'd be fucking going after
48:47
Speaker 2: Charles Darwin. I'm sorry for.
48:50
Speaker 1: Raising the fucking, raising the brow of this fucking podcast.
48:54
Speaker 1: How did fucking George W. Bush get in there? We
48:57
Speaker 1: don't get him. That dopey bollocks couldn't fucking hold a
49:00
Speaker 1: job down for love nor money. You know, former CIA
49:04
Speaker 1: fucking chief daddy. How the fuck? I mean, that is
49:08
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes. Give it one more term
49:11
Speaker 1: and Eric Trump giving it a go in eight years time.
49:16
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, George W. Bush, it's mad we lived
49:18
Speaker 2: through that time. We'll come back to that. in another episode.
49:21
Speaker 2: What are we ranting about here, though? In all these
49:25
Speaker 2: walks of life, you have all your nepo babies, and
49:28
Speaker 2: you don't have to look far for them. Miley Cyrus'
49:30
Speaker 2: dad is Billy Ray Cyrus. But with respect to Billy
49:33
Speaker 2: Ray Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus in the early 2000s, Couldn't
49:37
Speaker 2: get arrested in this town. So you needn't think he
49:40
Speaker 2: got his daughter a job. He might have got her
49:42
Speaker 2: name in the door.
49:42
Speaker 1: He didn't. But a cute whore, a cute whore fell
49:45
Speaker 1: in with fucking Dolly Parton.
49:47
Speaker 2: Well, this is it.
49:47
Speaker 1: And asked Dolly Parton to be godmother to her.
49:50
Speaker 2: You know, the more I'm learning about that, Tom, I'm like,
49:52
Speaker 2: you know, that's mad that so-and-so is Dolly Parton's goddaughter, godchild,
49:57
Speaker 2: whatever it might be. And my wife turned to me
49:59
Speaker 2: and goes, Dolly Parton has like 600 godchildren.
50:02
Speaker 1: Of course she does.
50:03
Speaker 2: Every fucking... every country and western singer was like, Dolly,
50:06
Speaker 2: would you be a godparent to my child? Like, it's
50:09
Speaker 2: not an exclusive club.
50:10
Speaker 1: Sure, it's literally like the King of England would be
50:15
Speaker 1: asked by lots of aristocracy to be the godfather to
50:17
Speaker 1: a lord. He'd have a rake of them as well
50:19
Speaker 1: just to keep them in the loop with these things. But, again,
50:25
Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus took the, like, for all the world, her
50:28
Speaker 1: father's still only fucking relevant because of her.
50:30
Speaker 2: Because of her, the other end.
50:32
Speaker 1: He had one old achy breaky fucking me hole. He
50:34
Speaker 1: had a mullet and had a bit of a look
50:37
Speaker 1: back in the.
50:37
Speaker 2: 80s slash 90s. I'll tell you where people are found
50:41
Speaker 2: sorely rotten, Tom, is in the world of professional wrestling.
50:45
Speaker 2: For every Randy Orton who's grandad and his dad where
50:48
Speaker 2: he's a third generation star.
50:50
Speaker 1: Was it Cowboy Orton or something like that?
50:51
Speaker 2: Cowboy Bob Orton and Randy Orton became one of the
50:53
Speaker 2: biggest stars the world has ever known. The flip side
50:56
Speaker 2: of that is you have Kurt Hennig's kid, Curtis Axel, Mr.
51:00
Speaker 2: Perfect's kid, who with respect was given every opportunity in
51:03
Speaker 2: the world. And could not fucking do it. You have
51:06
Speaker 2: The Rock's daughter. The Rock's daughter. No.
51:09
Speaker 1: It's The Rock's daughter trying to wrestle.
51:11
Speaker 2: She tried. She doesn't do it anymore Tom. She did
51:14
Speaker 2: it for a spectacularly short amount of time. And everybody's
51:17
Speaker 2: with the best will in the world. Your dad's one
51:19
Speaker 2: of the most famous people in God's green earth. But
51:22
Speaker 2: you need to find a new line of work love.
51:24
Speaker 2: Yeah you can't. When you're good at. Cause it ain't this.
51:27
Speaker 2: And you don't need me to tell you what happened.
51:29
Speaker 2: When Ric Flair's son David Flair.
51:32
Speaker 1: To go on with wrestling you can't be David Flair.
51:35
Speaker 2: In the late 90s and it was one of the
51:37
Speaker 2: most spectacular failures you've ever seen in your life kid
51:40
Speaker 2: look was an absolute fucking.
51:42
Speaker 1: Noodle arm did his daughter show up good drinker did
51:45
Speaker 1: his daughter.
51:46
Speaker 2: Funny you say Ric Flair's daughter is very good yeah
51:49
Speaker 2: Charlotte Flair has done very well but.
51:50
Speaker 1: You see you get fellas doing the right thing then
51:52
Speaker 1: you see you get Ray Mysterio's son who's a noodle
51:55
Speaker 1: arm fucking weak moustache but you know what he's he's
51:58
Speaker 1: playing that kind of nearly he's Weasel the Trader Crash
52:01
Speaker 1: Weasel A bit like took up the Eddie Guerrero fucking mantle.
52:05
Speaker 2: Exactly.
52:05
Speaker 1: You know, like, and played it right. He played it
52:08
Speaker 1: the right way.
52:09
Speaker 2: So what this means is probably what we are seeing
52:12
Speaker 2: to the audience of the Tom and Jerry show is
52:14
Speaker 2: that right now you may feel yourself frustrated seeing nepo
52:17
Speaker 2: babies left, right and centre becoming famous in their chosen fields.
52:21
Speaker 2: Me and Tom have been looking at this shit for
52:23
Speaker 2: 40 years. So what we can tell you is we
52:26
Speaker 2: have seen them come and Christ Jesus, we have seen
52:28
Speaker 2: them go. The good ones will stick around. And you
52:31
Speaker 2: may even grow to very much enjoy their work. Every
52:35
Speaker 2: now and then you get a neppo baby and it
52:37
Speaker 2: turns out to be Jeff Bridges. What can I tell you?
52:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
52:40
Speaker 2: And any of the rest of them who coasted in
52:43
Speaker 2: on their mom and dad's name, you don't have to
52:45
Speaker 2: worry about them for very long. They ain't going to
52:48
Speaker 2: stick around.
52:48
Speaker 1: You need only look. You don't have to look too
52:51
Speaker 1: far beyond these shores. Look at what Donald Gleeson has done.
52:54
Speaker 1: He rolls his out like could never do. You know
52:58
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like playing, you know, Mr. McGregor's grandson
53:03
Speaker 1: or grandnephew in Peter Rabbit. Fucking brilliantly.
53:07
Speaker 2: And he's got his Star Wars. He's got all that
53:09
Speaker 2: kind of crack. Brendan Gleeson has other sons and they
53:13
Speaker 2: too are actors. I don't think they'll trouble you in
53:16
Speaker 2: the cinema. I don't think so.
53:18
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
53:19
Speaker 2: May the God go with them. But, you know, the
53:21
Speaker 2: good ones... they stick around and like we say they'll
53:25
Speaker 2: grow to you'll grow to like them and you rest
53:28
Speaker 2: assured in about 10 years time this won't be the
53:30
Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry show this will be both their fucking
53:32

55:20
Speaker 2: People are buying Lego in droves. Who's buying all the Lego?
55:24
Speaker 2: Who's buying the € 300 Lego Technic sets? Tom and Jerry
55:28
Speaker 2: show listenership from Conor to Michal over here. They're just saying,
55:33
Speaker 2: when I grew up and I got big man money.
55:36
Speaker 2: I bought Small Man Lego. And Mere Gogo, which is Lego,
55:39
Speaker 2: was great.
55:40
Speaker 1: What country is Lego from again? Is it Finland?
55:42
Speaker 2: Denmark. Denmark.
55:43
Speaker 1: Well, the Prime Minister of Egypt just visited Denmark. And
55:49
Speaker 1: what did the Danish Prime Minister give him as a present? No.
55:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
55:55
Speaker 1: The Great Pyramid of Pegiza in Lego. Nice. And he
55:58
Speaker 1: was fucking.
55:59
Speaker 2: Delighted with it.
56:00
Speaker 1: He was delighted. Yeah, he was.
56:01
Speaker 2: Delighted with it. And he had to be told, like,
56:03
Speaker 2: you know, you're not putting that together in the car on.
56:05
Speaker 1: The way home.
56:07
Speaker 2: You'll lose bits of it down the seat. We are
56:12
Speaker 2: very familiar with that argument in this house. Can I
56:14
Speaker 2: open the Lego when you get home? But I don't
56:16
Speaker 2: want to open it now. You'll lose bits of it.
56:18
Speaker 1: Oh, like we hadn't gotten out of the fucking car park.
56:19
Speaker 2: You'll be roaring at the seat.
56:20
Speaker 1: And I could hear the box just go. I'm like, what?
56:24
Speaker 1: I'll pull this car over. I'll pull it in the boot. No,
56:27
Speaker 1: can I just have one look? Don't mind your look now.
56:29
Speaker 1: I'll just look at the bags from the outside. Don't
56:30
Speaker 1: mind your fucking look. Jesus Christ.
56:33
Speaker 2: This is it. This is it. Tom, go enjoy the
56:35
Speaker 2: rest of your birthday, buddy.
56:36
