  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not imparting to the bit of rain that's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: had to fall in the last time. There's big lawn
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: works to go on in the next month or so,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: so I need rain to fall before all that. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so I'm excited, trying to put things together that I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: don't know what I'm... I have a whole series... You
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: asked me before we got recording, how you keep it on?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I went, I don't really know because I've a whole
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: host of things up in the air that I don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: know how to do that are about that, that I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: got to look like I know what I'm doing. So,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: sanding the entire lawn, right?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Wait, sanding the lawn?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Never done a piece.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Threading sand on a lawn? I never, I've seen, like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Not taking sandpaper to a lawn? I have, no.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It'll be a while at that. Sanding the whole lawn.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I've seen, like, I used to build golf courses, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I never did any of that shit. I didn't operate,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: so I've got to do that. And now I'm filming
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a comedy special for this... It'll be the final night
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of it in Cashel. And I'm getting asked all sorts
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of fucking technical questions. And the last time we recorded,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the last two, the lads just handled all that. And now,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: because the tech is coming up a bit, my opinion
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: has been asked on things, Ger, that... Do you ever...
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: If I went down to the goats and started asking
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: them about, you know, fucking... thermo fucking physics it'll be
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a similar thing I mean stuff just washed over me

• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I've got a hard finish, Ger.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I've got a hard finish. Let's jump on. Let's circle
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: back to this. Well, let's circle back to that, Tom.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Let's circle back to the Tom and Gerry show back after.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Not so much a hiatus. But the last time we
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: recorded was about a fortnight ago. Then we had the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: untimely passing of the beloved Dolly Parton. So we put
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out our Dolly Parton special. And now two weeks later,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know which end of this can to talk into.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: But we will talk at length here on Tom and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Jerry's show, starting with the first segment, which is the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: weekly what have you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: This is a very complicated case, Maude.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of ins, a lot of outs,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of what have yous.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And a lot of strands to keep in my head, man.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Did you ever collect any of these?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I had one commemorative coin in my life and it
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was given away free with the News of the World
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: newspaper and it was of the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Go away.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yes. Do you remember things would give away one coin
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or they'd give away like one pack of panini stickers?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: That would entice you to, well, you've got a collection
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: started now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Fuck it, yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You're about to collect the rest of it. I was like, no,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this one turtle coin will do me. Do you ever
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: collect coins, Sam?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I got... I can remember... Like there was all the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: maria coins, you know, you'd come home and be on
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: late night TV and to be the 1916 Rising Collection,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you know, of coins or whatever. And you're like, oh, jeez.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So I was never, I was never really into that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: because I didn't really understand the value of, because I want,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: like the kids nowadays, I want it now and I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: want it to actually fucking yesterday, please. So the idea
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of hanging on to a thing in the hope that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it gets fucking valuable. It never struck me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It rubs me up wrong as well.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Still to this day, I can't do it. I can't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: do it. I will not sit on a thing like that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But I do remember there was Millennium coins.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Millennium 50p' s.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Millennium 50p' s, but they actually had, you could go in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and buy 50 penny sweets with them.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Do you know what?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They were actually a coin. They weren't just this fucking old.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Commemorative thing. Well, Tom, if you are ever going to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: start a commemorative coin collection, this week might be the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: week to do it because it was just announced that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: two new coins are going to hit coin market, I guess.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Are they going into circulation?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get into it, Tom. One is a coin
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: featuring everybody's favorite Dublin four-piece, U2. And the other one
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is Maeve Binchy. So that's a hell of a mix there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody loves Maeve Binchy. And as far as I know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: everybody loves Bono too, right?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Something tells me not. Your question, are they actual currency? Maybe. Okay.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So the U2 coin, these are all being done by
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the central bank. They're announced two coins. The central bank
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: are going to mint, I believe is the phrase we
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: want to say here, a mint, a two euro coin
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: for U2. But Maeve Binchy is getting a 15 euro coin,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: which I don't know that you're going to.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: What in the name of.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: A 15 euro coin for Maeve Binchy.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking that's going to be.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be about the size of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the lid of a can of Pringles or something like that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking a lid of Pringles. I would
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: give anything. I need to get my hands up. We
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: need to get our hands on one of these and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: actually go in to a shop in Dublin some evening.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And we just film it and try and buy it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It is legal tender. You can spend it. Yeah, no,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's a coin from the National, sorry, the Central Bank.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So it is legal tender. You can spend it. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to fit in the tilt.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Like imagine trying to get your packet of fags with them.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Hammering this thing into the phone. You just use it
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to break the glass on the yoke. So a 50,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: how did you two get an actual regular usable coin
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in the two and Maeve didn't even get like the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: 50 cents?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I can't figure it out, Tom. I can't figure out
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: how they put Maeve Binchy, one woman, on a big
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: discus of a coin and they're cramming all four members
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of U2 onto a two euro coin.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Will they just write U2?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They might just write U2.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And I suppose U2, there is a 2 at least
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: in their title that they're going to be.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, it could be a U2 Euro.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? All they have to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: do in the Photoshop, you know, the design print is
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: rub out the whatever else is on the 2 Euro
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: coin and just put.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: In a U.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Whereas Maeve, they're going to have to make a whole
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: etching and everything about Maeve.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, Maeve on the 15 Euro coin, I think they
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: could write one of her novels on it to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: honest with you.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Jesus, that's... You know? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Doesn't work for me at all. But Tom, this is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: apparently not an unusual thing.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Is she dead?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it may have been she's dead.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Well, why are you two getting in there? They're not
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: even close to dead yet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it's hard to say. And I've about the one
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for you, Tom, because this is a thing that goes on.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You can buy these at the moment. You can buy
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: 15 euro coins... of, say, for example, Sean O'Casey or
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Daniel O'Connell or George Bernard Shaw, all this kind of thing.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Swift has a 15 euro coin. And, God, you've
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: got to love this country sometimes, Tom. You've really got
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to absolutely love this country. The cheapest 15 euro coin
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: right now is 60 euro. So it's like an immediate
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: 45 euro drop in value.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That's wonderful. For... Fuck sake.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you can't buy a 15 euro coin and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it'd be worth 16 and you'd be up money straight away.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But there's something just not right.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Don't do me that hard.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You can buy 15. The more I look at this, Tom,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering why doesn't you two have more coins at
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: this stage? Because there are 15 euro coins for Phil Linnet,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: WB Yeats, Eileen Gray, who I'm ashamed to say I'm
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not familiar with. Yeah, fucking everybody.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Jack B.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeats, Luke Kelly. But again, johnny logan you can get
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a 15 year old hold on what anybody what i
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: can't only messing on that one although if you do
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have a johnny logan coin you should hold that now
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: um come here oh my god invest tom what's another
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: year listen what i don't know one other but.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: All those people are uh mud of like you well.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I guess that's why you two didn't get the 15
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: euro kind. They just have the two euro kind.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: But it's, at least, but in your hand you go, okay, well,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is this you two, like, sneaking onto the fucking iPod again? Like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: is this what they're doing?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're sneaking into our pockets.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Into our pockets now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with you two on my
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: person or anything like that. And then you go buy
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a Whisper and pay a fiver for it and you're like, fuck,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I have a two euro kind.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah they're looking at Oh fuck It's the U2 one
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: But you remember like It used to be a thing
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Like when I guess There was maybe less shops And
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: More people Were Irish That you know A new coin
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: would come out Or There'd be a Like it'd be
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: A shiny as a button You know the coin Yeah
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: The person behind the counter would go Oh You know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: there'll be a bit of chat back and forth.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: A bit of a brand new coin, yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But I guarantee you, you're going to hand that YouTube
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: coin over and the lad from Kosovo taking your money
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is like, thank you. Yeah. And that'll be, like, it
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: will have zero impact. To what end will this be? Like,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: in a cashless society.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: In a cashless society. I don't know when was the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: last time I laid my hands on a two euro coin,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I have one for the trolley in Aldi. I literally
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: have one in the car for the trolley analogy.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I keep a little sort of parcel of change in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the ashtray of the car just for like parking and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: things like that. I'd say there's a two-year-old coin in that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Rooting out your feg butts in between it, yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Well, listen to me, Tom. Congratulations to you two for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: making the way onto a coin. May the road rise
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to meet them. Tom, that's a lot of people that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: are on a lot of coins, but there's a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of people not on a lot of coins. Can you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: think of anybody that would be deserving to go on
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a coin? And don't say yourself because I'm not allowed
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to say myself.
• 11:35

  Speaker 2: too try to be political every so often with their
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: own one. Richie Kavanagh was just straight up funny as fuck.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Just straight up.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Straight up. Like funny as hell.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: What have I got a bunch of elderly Irish mammies
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to be clapping and toe tapping along to songs that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: were very, very close underneath the surface. Absolute filth.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Pure dirt.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But it sounds kind of diddly-eye and a kid's song
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is like, no, that's just a dirty song. Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not joking. I saw him at the Ploughman Championship.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: His son was kind of running the show. And again,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: he wasn't, he was ailing at the time. But, like,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: he filled a 600, you know, capacity tent on a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Tuesday in a field. Now, find me too many entertainers
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: in Ireland that can do that. There you go.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You two ain't drawing fuck all at the playing match, buddy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Do you know what? If Richie Cavanaugh was on next
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: door and you two was singing... in the name of
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: love you gotta fuck this I want.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Fuckers you just hear the cross pollination from the other
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: thing he's like do you ever get the ride on
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a tractor.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah I know where I'm going yeah I am yeah
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I 100% agree with.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You well you know what I'm gonna tell you Tom
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: those are people that we would put on money there's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: probably some another name that we could put on money
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: but we're not gonna throw them into this segment because
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hold them off to the next segment of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the show can I put Bosco in there you can
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: absolutely I think Bosco's on a kind fuck.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Off yeah It's like a 17 euro coin somewhere.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some spurious 13.50.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I never trust him.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: He always looks like he was on coke. Come here,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, yeah, there's another person that
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: could go on a coin, but we're not going to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: talk about them in this segment. We're going to give
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: them a segment all to their very own. That's the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: second segment of the Tom and Jerry show. You know
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what it is. It's this lad.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Now there's that guy. Oh, you can have any. We've
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: had lad too, if anybody's new to it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: This lad, this lady. Someone that goes above and beyond
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: gets to be this lad every week on the Tom
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and Jerry show. Every now and then I forget that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: we have new listeners every now and then.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. We have new listeners all the time.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: You can see it. We're now fully global. We're in
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the Emirates all the way to almost every country, the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: major countries in Asia. We're everywhere. You see it, ping
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: it up, and I'm like, huh, right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Well, how about that?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: We're in Laos. Interesting.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: There's an Irish lad on the run in Laos.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: 100% he's on the run just trying to keep... keep
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: things keep things taken over of course we're talking about
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the the Queen of Ireland for the week that it
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: is it is of course the undisputed Katie Taylor.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Katie Taylor this week's this lad and this week's this
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: lady is Katie Taylor who sold out 82,000 seats in
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Croke Park Dublin only.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Only just about surpassing what Richie Kavanagh could do.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely um And went out and fought a lady
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: called Flora Peely, I want to say.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Peely? Peely? Yeah, yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Peely? I'm not very well up to speed with my boxing, Tom,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I've got to tell you. But even if you aren't
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: very up to speed with boxing, everybody watched the Katie
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Taylor fight. Yeah. At the weekend. Like, that was.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I was actually on stage and I ran out.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: In between two segments of being on stage, I caught
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: most of the fight. In fairness, I caught the ring walk,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: which was cool as hell.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Well, this is it too.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Katie Taylor, Olympic gold winning boxer, a staple in Irish
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: life over the last 16.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: To 20 years, I want to say.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, there's not much we
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: can say about her career that hasn't been said over
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and over. Yous are probably sick listening to it. But
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: as a finish to her career, she went out and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: sold out Croke Park, a 10 round judge decision. gave
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: her a win in her final match of her career.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Unless she pulls a Ric Flair and comes back and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: does like six or eight more of these. But we
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: doubt that. And she thanked everybody. She thanked her family.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: She thanked her husband. She thanked for quite some time, Tom, God.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: And then she kissed the sky farewell, laid her gloves
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the ring and went on about
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: her business. Hell of a legacy, Tom.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know what? I mean, when you go from
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a place, like it is, I mean, it's, it must
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: be amazing for people that came across her for the
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: first time ever went hold on what she'd been she
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: had to pretend to be a boy to fight at
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the beginning you know and then you hear the whole
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: story and what not but there was no grotesque overhyping
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of it because it was as there often is when
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it comes to things like the UFC and stuff it
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: was just laying it all out there and you know
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the likes of Eddie Hearn on board who was an
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: incredible promoter and he had pushed for Croke Park and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to sell Croke Park To go full capacity 83,000 into
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the place. Any. Any singular.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Draw 83,000 people anywhere, Tom. Honestly, I wasn't being dismissive
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. But when I heard that they
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: were selling for Croke Park, I was like, well, that's great.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: They'll draw a crowd. It's unlikely to be a sellout now.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But it's nice that they'll have... And fuck if they
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: did not sell every seat in that place.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: That cannot be underestimated.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Like....
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You can pack it for an all-Ireland, but you're talking
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: about two huge counties who have followed their team forever,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: are from that place, bleed the fucking flag colors of
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: that place, and would kill each other to get there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: This is just one person, and boxing isn't even close
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to being the most popular sport in Ireland. And male
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: or female aside, I wouldn't honestly.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: There's no male heavyweight even nowadays that would do that. Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: There's no male heavyweight because there is no Tyson anymore.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? There is no Mike Tyson.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: There is no draw. Like the last person to box
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: in Croke Park was Muhammad Ali. Yeah. Fucking hell. Those
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: two boxers are beside each other on the wall now.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It's a hell of a spread. So Tom, here's the thing.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows what Katie Taylor did and how she got
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: where she got to be. And we wish her all
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the best in our future endeavours, but we're not entirely
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: certain here on the Tom and Gerry show what those
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: future endeavours might be.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: So it's one thing to talk about the past. Let's
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: talk about the future, Tom. Let's talk about where Katie Taylor...
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: goes from here now she's a world class world renowned
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: athlete so I think she can do a wee bit
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: better than a sales rep for Red Mills.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I think so like I know everybody's thinking what I'm
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: going to say for a bit of crack is oh
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: she should go into security she should you know whatever
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: no I think there's one place that if you were
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to take the American model on things that Katie Taylor
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: should go next to be the next top female action.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Star Oh, you think she's going to Gina Carano this thing?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Gina Carano shot herself in the foot, you see.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shot herself in the foot. What was that again, Tom? Oh, yeah,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: religious views. No.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: No, the fucking Egypt. She turned around and said who
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: she voted for. And you're like, you're going to get
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: blasted by one or the other. Shut up, Serena.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Is Gina Carano not like Super God Squad?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: No. I think she said something along the lines. She
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: was agreeing with Trump. She made a bollocks of herself
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: with Trump. And you're like, what are you doing?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: But Katie is Super God Squad 2 now. And I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: just wondering.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: So is Chris Pratt. So is Mark Wahlberg.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So are you saying that Katie Taylor could be the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: next Mark Wahlberg?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: A hundred.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Staying prayed up.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I think staying prayed up and I think her acting
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: ability straight out of the gate would rewrite up to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a Mark Wahlberg.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: It would be equal or excel at all right now
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to be fair.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Think about it. I mean she's as hard as a
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: fucking nut. Like you can't you know. So I mean
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: as far as taking bumps and stuff like that on set.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I think, and she's, you know, she's affable. She's a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: nice person.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I've seen her in plenty of interviews and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: she seems to carry herself well.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: You could buy her saving somebody. Like, she could be
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the new Jason Statham. She could be the fucking substitute teacher.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? In fact, she keeps fucking
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: weapons everywhere but likes to just knock people out on
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: the rake. I think Katie Taylor would make it unbelievable. Now,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you have to be very careful because you'll get some
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Irish production company going it's Katie she works for Rhodes
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: and she doesn't have to go far from home and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the last time Irish action movie really tried that that
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: was what was your man it was a martial arts.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Movie oh Fatal Deviation Fatal Deviation you think okay well
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: hang on why don't we remake Fatal Deviation with Katie Taylor.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Have we put Mikey Graham in there again.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: With respect to Mikey what the fuck else is he
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: at The stylish season is over, so. Do you know?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And like, she just, she returns to her hometown of
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Brea and finds it overrun with Mikey Graham-led criminals. There's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: every possibility of it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Fucking, you know, goes back and starts busting lads up
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in a spar.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And a spar, he means under the tree at, not
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: just in a boxing ring.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Not just a boxing spar, but doesn't that also work?
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I love it. I think it's a
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: thing that could work I have a couple of more
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: ideas that would be for our immediate entertainment that I
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: think she could on a genuine base she won't have
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to go to America for and I think she can
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: go straight into do you want to shoot me one
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: that you might have been thinking of well.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Tom I mean not to borrow a phrase from that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: zombie movie Braindead but she could kick ass for the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Lord what are we talking I'm talking about being a missionary.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: But like no sleeves on her shirt.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Being a missionary like in Africa or somewhere like that
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: or somewhere that needs help and you know God knows
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you want to set off and teach the word of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: God and bust up warlords and stand up for the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: downtrodden and smash the fuck out of people. I go
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: back to my Judge Dredd which I don't know all
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that much about Judge Dredd just what I've picked up
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: here and there but I remember that once judges got
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: old they didn't retire. They took what was known as
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the long walk where they take a gun and a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: fucking book of law and walk out into the savage
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: earth and just walk around bringing law to the lawlessness
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and I think Katie Taylor can do that for the Vatican.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: So just sort of walks out into some wasteland. Not
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: necessarily in Africa. Anywhere in the world. I could name
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a few places in Ireland to be honest with you Tom.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And just walk in and start preaching the word of
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the Lord and preaching our favourite psalms. And if anybody
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: gives her any lip, one-two combo, spark them out.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: This is the moment.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm terribly sorry to say that Katie, you know, everything
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: we've said so far is like Katie's aptitude for violence
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is going to come to the fore. But fuck me
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: when you're that blessed, Tom.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: What's she going to just take up calligraphy? Come on.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: She's been punching people for 30 years.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sin just to not, you know.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: It literally is.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Use the talents God gave you and he gave you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a talent of fucking laying boys out.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of that where she's... Do you
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: know what? This is a chance for the Catholic Church
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to actually go in. If they were really smart, they'd
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: get in on this. Now, I don't know if she's
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Catholic anymore. She might be born again or something like that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's actually a very good point. I say she's religious.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: She's Christian. She's Christian of some sort anyway. But I
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: reckon the Catholic Church, to lift the ban on women priests, God, I... Katie,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: with the vestments, but has the biceps on show because
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: she's got serious guns. Right. Up there, banging the pulpit.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Like she's lashing the Holy Communion down to you. You
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? You don't even have to get up.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: You just stick your head up like a seal and
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: she's just throwing it like a fish at you. Just, yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And she's just banging out a sermon like that.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Passes cleanly through the back of her socks.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of her because realistically I'd say
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: she'd stay in Ireland but to be ashamed not to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: get her into media so much way and rather than
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: just the usual because Ireland's boxing coverage isn't the greatest
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: like when you look at how they do it on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the big skate but they've money you know what I
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: mean but I think if they've got her into something
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: like Operation Transformation because if you're a bit you know
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you're a bit of a chub and you're thinking I
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: need to get my shit in gear here but you
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: haven't really put much thought into it but then you
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: walk into the gym day one And Katie motherfucking Taylor
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: is gone. Get fucking going. I'll get going on my
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: own time, Katie.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You get going. No, no.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take this battle rope, says Katie, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to beat you to fucking half death with
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: it unless you start. I need to see three kilos
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: off you. I can lose. I can cut weight. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: can cut four kilos in 24 hours. Get on the
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: fucking treadmill, Noreen. I'm not fucking having it. I... Katie
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Taylor will not lose. Her team will not lose an
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: operation transformation. They just fucking won't. You want to and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: maybe don't want to be on Katie's team, but you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: are winning.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: If you're going on Katie's team, you're winning, but you're
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: getting flittered.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: She's a serial winner. Do you know what I mean?
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: So why not put her in her own environment, in
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: a gym, training people on telly to win? Jesus Christ.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to be said for Tom. The one
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: other thing that I'd say... I'm going to put forward
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for Katie Taylor and go with me on this one here. Now,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: we know she's a wonderful human being and she has
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: done awful amounts of goodness for not just for women's sport,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: for all sport, for Ireland, for the whole thing.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: What if she turned heel, Tom?
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: What if she went bad?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: And just like, you know, it would be disappointing, but
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: it would break all our hearts. What a story. What
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: an arc. What if she did, what's the name of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that other fighter? We don't really remember his name. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: remember everybody thought he was great and then he turned
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: out to be a wrong one. What if she went
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: down there and just all of a sudden became fond
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of substances and started roaring and shouting and effing and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: blinding and driving around in Lamborghinis. rip roaring about the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: place doing donuts.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Showing up at fights that she has no involvement with
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and jumping in over the ring at the end of
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: it when she doesn't like the decision and just starts cracking.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: At the yeah you're telling me that woman can't swing
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a sack truck at a bus window it would be
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a disappointment it must be said but I gotta tell
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you it would be fascinating.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you one last one in my mind
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: because she I don't know if you know this but
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: like Like these triple threat actors that can sing, that
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: can dance, right? You know, these motherfuckers. Katie Taylor can
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: also play at county football level. She can also play
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: at international soccer level. She played soccer for Ireland. This
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: is a fact.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You're not making this up.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: No, 100%. 100%. Anytime she's taken to the field for
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: charity games and stuff, she's nutmegging people. She's smoking people
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: out on the pitch. She's incredible. So her feet and
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: her hands are just... Lightning. So I'm suggesting she's still
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: got her fitness. If you can go 10 rounds in
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: a boxing match, you're as fit as the fittest 18-year-old.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: On a normal day.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You're as fit as anybody can be. So I'm saying,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: given that our national soccer team, and I'm saying this
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: out loud, lads, have done a fuck all ever.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Terribly sorry.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Like, nothing. We've done nothing. The cabinet is full of
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: cobwebs when it comes to where the silverware should be.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: We've done and won nothing. Here's the thing. Put Katie
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Taylor playing for the men. Yeah. I know people get
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: excited by the likes of Troy Parrott and all the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: rest of these lads that have kind of done bits
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and pieces and really got our hopes up is all.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: But none of them have ever proved it. on the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: big stage that they can actually win. Well, guess what?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Katie Taylor, serial fucking winner. Doesn't like to lose. Might
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: get a bit violent. She could be the new Roy Keane.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: That'd be her option to go. That'd be her avenue
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to go on a bit heel. Giving shitty interviews afterwards.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Blowing the legs off lads. Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Even if you don't play her outfield, put her in
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: goals and just like, you know, lob the ball back
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to her so that she can punch it out into.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: She'd punch a hole straight through the fucking ball.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: She'd fill Croke Park again just so people could see
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: her do that. Do you remember that? There was a guy,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: what's his name? His name wasn't Valderrama. No, it was,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I can't remember his name.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: He was a Mexican goalkeeper.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Used to do the scorpion kick.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She could just be the double fist, like pow.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: She'd jump up and spin like Ken. in fucking Street
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Fighter and then punch in the air and drive the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: ball into fucking Hill 16 on the other end.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly that's not coming that's not coming back.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Then no no it's like did you ever see that
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: movie it was an Indian Bollywood movie for soccer and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: it was one of the greatest things it was a
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: soccer movie it's one of the greatest things you'll ever
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: watch they did one for rugby as well mad moves
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: where people are able to spin like 17 times in
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the air before kicking the ball this is.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: The kind of thing if more sport was like that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I'd watch it but we did watch Katie Taylor at
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the weekend We are having a bit of fun here, Katie.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Please don't come and hurt us. And we wish you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: all the best in your future endeavors. Whatever you choose
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: to do, we're sure you'll be amazing at it. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: we'll look back on it fondly in years to come.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Would you agree, Tom?
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I kind of wait to see what next. I just
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: hope she just doesn't go into straight up commentary.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you know what I mean? That's a waste.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: If she does go into commentary, I want her full
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: on color commentary. Like, what the fuck was that? You
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Really coming out of her breaking
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: character completely. Losing her plot, like. kicking over mic stands
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and what not.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah but with that being said as well Katie get
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that bag get that bag girl congratulations get that bag
• 31:35

• 31:47
  Speaker 1: them in the final segment of the show called we

  Speaker 2: When I was a young lad 20 or 30 or
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: 40 years ago.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: This is a little childhood reminiscence that you've fallen across
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: now in the last week or two, Tom. Am I correct?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: It was the first question out of our mouths when
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: we went in. So it's been birthday season the last
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. All the boys in this class, they
• 32:07

  Speaker 2: September babies, Tom. Yeah, I know.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: There's no surprise. Late August.

  Speaker 2: it because it's, you know what I mean? You're going
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: along to one more kid's thing. You're like, I'm just

• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Stadium is. And if it, Big load of land around it.

  Speaker 2: I'm at a regular circus what next thing and these
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: two guys walk out guitars There's a guy up in

  Speaker 2: fucking plate. There's a guy floating in the air playing
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the fucking keyboard. There's two other guys on motorbikes that

  Speaker 2: It's super extreme. And from one thing after another There's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: just like dangerous shit happening the whole way through it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Like no net, no nothing. There's a woman drops 50
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: feet into four foot of water. I'm like, what the
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: fuck is that? And at one stage, like it kind
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of dawned on me because I had forgotten I was
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: at the circus like this. tits and ass and muscles
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: out everywhere.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: This ain't your daddy's circus.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm like well I've seen it and I turn
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: to herself I'm like when did the circus get like
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: this she goes I'm wondering and like there's somebody you
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: know this chick twerking in front of us I'm like
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: this ain't that bad because this.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: This ain't the circus we grew up with Tom this
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: is not the circus we remember from the 80s and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I've always like you know we on the Tom and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Jerry show we've always liked travelling amusements we've always liked
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: something that comes to town whether it's a you know
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: um A pantomime or a circus or a fun fair
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: or a wrestling show. Just this sort of carny life
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that goes from town to town, sets up the walls,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: sort of spins you around the place and then fucks
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: off to the next town for the next two weeks
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and just continues on the circuit. And so be it
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: with the circus that would have come to Carrickmacross, God, Tom,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: in my lifetime, in my childhood lifetime there, three times,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: maybe four.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: The very same, yeah, yeah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: We would have went to it twice. I really feel these.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Days, um, There's never not a circus up this way.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Make of that what you will, Tom.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: And do you know what?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Full-time circus around here.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: The same here.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Certainly during the summer months, there's a circus either in
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Tipperary Town, there's one in Clonmel. There seems to be
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: always one very nearby.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: On the go.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: There was a truck show at the weekend in Cashel.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Douala, to be exact. It was a big agriculture show.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And on the Sunday, apparently, they had a circus to
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: close it out. So... This particular one blew my fucking mind.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you one thing that the circuses these
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: days don't have that the circuses did have back in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: our day, Tom, and that is animal cruelty.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Because I asked you, I was like, because I texted
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: you straight afterwards. I was like, well, that whole two
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: hours passed me by and I was like, there isn't
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: a single animal here.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: There's not an animal here.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not pissed off by it. I know we've talked
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: about entertaining things before and possibly even skirted around circuses.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: But this blew my mind because this was so far
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: removed from what I remember. Like some poor old elephant
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: getting fucking dragged out into the middle of it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: You say this to kids these days and they really
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: look at you like you were fucking back in Barnum
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and Bailey's day. Like, you know, when I tell my
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: kids that, I know I went to a circus and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: there was lions in it. And they're like, fuck off.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, yeah. And they're like, what, like, puppet
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: lions like in the Lion King stage show. And I'm like, no,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: listen to me.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Steaky lions Yeah And like.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: You know What would stop that lion From going mad
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: And jumping the barrier And running into the crowd And
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: eating you all And I'm like Oh that's happened In
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: hindsight kid Not much No Now that I think of
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: it No fucking nothing.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: The power of a lion The grace.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Of God and fools Is all that stopped him.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Because you know Not every day With the decades Was
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: secured out And they were walking These lions And they
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: were doing Getting them to do You know These tigers
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: It's a fucking tiger That's the strength Of a thousand
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: cats And the temper Of a fucking Jack Russell.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Of one cat.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean? And it's getting told,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: you know, all its natural belief. It's not like they
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: were domesticated animals like dogs now. You know, they're 10,000
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: years hanging around with animals or humans. Oh no, his
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: parents may have killed a human.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? And he's expected to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: behave himself on the outskirts of Carrick MacRoss town in
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the 80s.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. There's a lot to ask of them. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: will say another thing that we remember from when we
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: were young, Tom, about the circus. I dare say it
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was the same at you and I don't know what
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: was at Circus Extreme. But I can't imagine these guys
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: were here. Proper old school fucking terrifying clowns.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: No, they had... Again, clown was shredded. He was this...
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: What's with the buff clown?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he does not compute.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: This guy had all the moves. Like he.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: You could tell he had trained.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: He had... What he was was the time buyer between
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: the setups for the rigs. Because there was rigging getting
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: set up like you wouldn't need it in the dark.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I'll tell you, Tom, the circus has
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: changed a lot in our lifetime. Some things haven't changed.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: You need to send out the clown that he can
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: fucking amuse everybody with some low stakes buffoonery.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: And to be fair to him, Well, he gassed up
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: the chainsaws. He rarely took the piss out of himself.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: He made complete fucking eejits out of everybody he picked
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: in the crowd. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you got a load of kids running around
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: with super soakers soaking adults like which of course they
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: loved yeah I was like I'm not my fellas don't
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: fucking come near me buddy my fellas itching behind me
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: going huh I'm like don't you even fucking think about
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: it Because I would be the first person who would
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: just stand and empty the entire thing into my face. Like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: and I can't do anything because I'm a good parent.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't be doing it. The last circus we
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: were at here, and I think it was Duffy's Oral
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Faucets or something. It was a traditional circus, but at
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the same time, leagues removed from what I remember from
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: when I was a child. And the clown was like
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: very low key. He didn't have a painted face. It
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: was just a dude in like a three-piece suit with
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the tiniest little blotcher red on his nose to call
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: him a clown. And basically what he did was.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Silent pantomime yeah yeah you could tell that this was
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: very much an art form studied.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Oh this is they go to France to learn this
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: like it's a seven year study yeah yeah yeah.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And proper Marcel Marceau pantomime.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Kind of crack buffoonery like yeah but it's.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: When we were little Tom we saw a guy hit
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: another guy in the face With a kick.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Like that was it. That was the bit. You didn't
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: need to train seven years in France for that.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: You did not. No, you got a full on spray
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: cream full of inside and one of those dishes that
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: you get in 40 of them in a pack. Yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: And just slap it off the other guy's face.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: And just smack him as hard as you can. And
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: these guys were in the proper Ronald McDonald.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Floppy trousers. Big, give you nightmares.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Big shoes. This, Claire and I went to see this
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: last time was wearing smaller shoes than I do.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This guy was, honestly, your man.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: He was wearing better clothes than me.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: He was wearing, that was the one thing. This motherfucker
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: was stylish and he was shredded, like all of them.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: But he, again, had the end of his nose painted.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: But you could tell by his movements. I was like, oh,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: this guy is captured. He's got the whole place encapsulated.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: He's got this buffoonery kind of flopping around walk. But,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: you know, he's catching stuff from. Now, the whole thing
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: was great, but there was this one guy, if you've
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: seen those, they're like boomerangs, but they've got three sides,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: three legs on them. Yeah, yeah. You know, these things.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: And we'd be watching fucking mental stuff, like lads hanging
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: upside down by their fucking nose hairs. And then this
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: guy comes out and he's got a whole rig and
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: like he's got two assistants that are handing them to him.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I'm still going, hold on now. And he's giving it
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: the whole extreme, you know, as he catches each one.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: And that was, I'm watching it going, And herself was
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: sitting behind me and I could just hear the laughing.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Because there was more, everybody else was kind of, you know,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: they looked the shit. This one particular guy, he just
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: kind of looked and we, I think I've told you
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: this before, guys that do things super cool, we describe
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: them kind of like from that one line from Napoleon Dynamite, ligers.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: All I could hear from her is, ligers. 100% ligers. Yeah. But,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you, as I said to her driving home,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: we'd fucking bust our nose trying to catch what he
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: was catching. You know what I mean? The guy was
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: fucking brilliant at it. But the lack of impressiveness versus
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: what other people were doing. But then we go out
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: at that break and I don't, I'm guessing this was
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: always the way, but there definitely didn't seem to be
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: where you're double and triple jobbing because it's the only
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: way you can make a few pounds.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like, I feel like that we're just more
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: attuned to this as grownups.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Because I know like the circus we went to, there
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: was a dude like firing around the place on a motorbike.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: And again, he was like all sparkles and all this
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. And then it comes to break time
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and he's, you know, he's stamping your ticket for parking. Yeah.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: I was over and going, this guy is absolutely fucking
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: shredded smithereens. Like, you know, and probably, and I hope
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: for his sake, you know, he'd the shirt open a lot.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: He'd man cleavage on. The guy was ripped doing the
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: candy floss. And I hope for his sake that he
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: was banging everything with a pulse within a four mile radius.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Because what else are you doing?
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: What else are you doing is the circus. And then
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: you're going to pull up the tent pegs and fuck
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: off down to the next town. It's a lonely existence.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're taking a wife with you
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: or a husband or whatever the case might be.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: So I hope he's... I was just going... I wanted
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: to say it to him. I was like, dude, I
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: just hope you're out there just... Just smashing. Oh yeah,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Single mom comes along with the two kids and you're like.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and for her too.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: For her too.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get a spin off something like that.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: How would your kid like to meet the clown for
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: half an hour?
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But then that same guy was on one of
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: the motorbikes and said, the dome of death.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: The dome of death.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: But I mean, fuck me. I have seen some.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Variety of the dome of death since I was little.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: This was... Stunning. I mean, I talk about a spectacle,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: three guys going full clip inside in a pretty small
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: fucking thing.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: In one of the atmosphere from Gladiators, yeah.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you have, you have, like, the Red
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Bull X-Fighters fucking flying over them and landing on a ramp, like,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: at full tilt, fucking fireworks going off. I was, I
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: didn't give a shit if the rest of the family
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. I was having a fucking great time and
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: at no point did I go, God, I wish they'd
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: wander out with a fake bucket of fucking water, you know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: or Or drag some poor fucking camel out here, fucking
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: foaming at its fucking, at the mouth. Like, circuses have
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: gone class since they got rid of the fucking animals.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to be said for circuses these days, Tom.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you one last thing that might have changed
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: since when we were a child. Maybe it hasn't. Circus
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: is never a cheap day out. But, like, what you
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: actually pay at a circus.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Is, it might be anything.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Because it's like, oh, it's full price. But if you
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: bring a ticket that was under the windscreen wiper of
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: your car, it's half price. If you have three children,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: all right, fair enough, then it's this price. If you
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: have four children, it's somehow less. You know, it's just
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: real weird. I reckon if you just walk up with
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the missus and two kids or whatever it is and
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: just go, I've got 27 euro and it may have
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: been she kind. Do you want it? And they're like, yeah,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: go on, get in the car.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: It was exactly that. She was about to buy him
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: and the next thing some other website went, oh no,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: we'll do him way cheaper than that.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing though, Gerry. You get you in
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: the fucking door and they charge you three quid for
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: a can of Tenora. You're like, I see your game here.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: I see your game.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: You know, they are the circus, Tom.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: They are the circus. You fuckers are on to the
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: next town.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah. There's not a clown in this town, I'll
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: tell you that much.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Fucking six quid for candy floss.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Is it, my friend? There you go, wasn't it? A
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: light up spinny thing for 20 euro. Oh, fuck me. Charles,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: would you like that? Yeah, I'm going to put your business.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. One thing that hasn't changed in the
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: circus is whatever about what's going on in the ring.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: The one thing I do remember from going to the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: circus when I was small. The collection of humanity that
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: has gone to a circus chair. I have never seen. Like, honestly,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I could have just watched the audience. The collection of
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: weird fucking people in that tent. I'm like, are we
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: weirdos too? Because I'm telling you right now, 75% of
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: these people I wouldn't let watch my child. And they're
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: with their child. You know what I mean? You're just going,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: there's some strange collection of fucking little looking people.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: It's an odd crowd at a circus I find, Tom.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I don't go every week now since we had the kids.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: We've gone about four or five times. So I'm into
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: like nine times in my life.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I've never been at one of these fucking things. But
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: it's always like parents kind of going like, well, I
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: suppose we'll take the kids to the circus. And kids
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: going like, what the fuck have you brought us to?
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a real odd dynamic. But I will
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: say once you're at it, it's good crack. If you've
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: not been to the circus in a while, I think
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: it gets the Tom and Jerry show seal of approval.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: When do you think they stopped making animals do circus
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: things in Ireland?
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jesus, when the law changed many years ago. No,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it was.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Take a stab.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I would say they changed the law that said you
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: can't have animals in circuses. And then maybe five years
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: after that, they stopped having animals in circuses. Yeah, there
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: was a bit of a great experience.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: When do you think the law came in? Oh, because
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: I just looked it up, and I just looked it up. God, Tom,
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: take a shot at it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Is it pre-9-11 or post-9-11?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Fuck. 2018, Ger. 2018? It's not that fucking far back.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Are you serious? And in the UK, it's 2020.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Jesus, Mother Mary.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they brought it in kind of after Ireland.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: The UK, they went, oh, right, yeah. That makes sense.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: And then didn't really knock it on the head until
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: 2020 because I suppose you can't shoot all the animals
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: the one day.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: You can't just walk out and fucking, yeah.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: You know, because I'll tell you here and now, lads,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: we're rehoming them. Maybe you might rehome the tiger because
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: he's worth a few pounds. The camels, sorry lads, they're
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: getting fucking shot. There's no money in camels. Do you
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: There's no money in camels.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: If you're going to take away one piece of advice
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: from this entire episode, There's fuck all money in camels, lads.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You reckon, Tom, they lived on for a couple
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: of years.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: As extreme camels. They're somewhere left loose in the wilds
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: of fucking Mayo somewhere. There's a load of camels just
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: hanging around who just got let go.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, isn't this a bitch? How the fuck
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: did we get here?
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Or you made it very handy. You just accidentally left
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: the cage of the tiger open when the camels were
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: out for a fucking piss.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: That was it for camels. Of course. There you go. Okay,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: so maybe it's not all that. With that being, with respect,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I was there like, oh, the kids don't
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: believe me when I say I saw animals in the circus.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Your kids were born when it came in.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: The kids were born, yeah. I guess it was just
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: like a real 20 to 30 year stretch there where
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't even consider the circus. No, you'd although i
• 49:16
