- 0:12Speaker 1: bit about that. I often cause my long tailbacks anytime
- 0:16Speaker 1: I took me below the steam tractor out onto bypass
- 0:19Speaker 1: for a spin. That thing traveled at five mile an
- 0:23Speaker 1: hour and had to stop very frequently for one issue
- 0:27Speaker 1: or another. It wasn't a protest or anything like that.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Quietly opposite. In fact, other motorists sometimes protest me to
- 0:35Speaker 1: try and block me from getting out on bypass in
- 0:38Speaker 1: the first place. We had it all sorted in the end. Mind,
- 0:42Speaker 1: I'll see the.
- 0:51Speaker 2: It's a strange one this week on the Tom and

- 1:16Speaker 3: got caught on some people are going to what's a briar,
- 1:19Speaker 3: you know, an now attorney bush of some sort. I
- 1:22Speaker 3: was trying to retrieve. I was retrieving a football as
- 1:24Speaker 3: and it was my fault kick. You don't don't play football,
- 1:27Speaker 3: intel tokat boots. There are for many things, but not

- 1:36Speaker 3: one sobajar and it was just below a black torn
- 1:39Speaker 3: for a tree. So I was steering clear that thing.
- 1:42Speaker 3: It was so big. I swear to God, some goblin
- 1:44Speaker 3: fucking fucking ball pin hammer. Yeah, we're talking an inch.
- 1:49Speaker 3: It's stuck in the top of my head. I couldn't
- 1:52Speaker 3: back up nothing, I could do nothing. I to get
- 1:55Speaker 3: this fucking nail out at the top of my head.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So that's why it was. You know how our Lord felt,
- 2:01Speaker 2: trom you know, you know by your sins. I won't lie.
- 2:06Speaker 3: It was a bit of a murtyr about the whole situation.
- 2:08Speaker 2: So I'm having a I'm having a strange run over here,
- 2:13Speaker 2: Tom because I'm not wearing my usual headphones. I couldn't
- 2:15Speaker 2: find them, and I.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Put I noticed that it's I knew I need I
- 2:18Speaker 3: once say I noticed that I knew something was different.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And it's it's it's really throwing the sound off because
- 2:24Speaker 2: these ones, even though they are and I'll tell you
- 2:26Speaker 2: exactly what these headphones are, Tom. You know the way
- 2:28Speaker 2: you get handed like if we set of headphones, if
- 2:29Speaker 2: you go on a plane, Yeah, a pocket.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Of them, fair folks, because they fit in your ears
- 2:34Speaker 3: and I fit in your ears. They don't fit in
- 2:36Speaker 3: my ears, my head.
- 2:39Speaker 2: And tell you another thing, buddy, I had paid for them,
- 2:42Speaker 2: did you well, you know by being on the plane,
- 2:45Speaker 2: I had paid. Oh yeah, I'm taking this with me.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Be title. I'm not taking the life jacket from the
- 2:50Speaker 2: I'm telling you and and and they're just sitting here
- 2:53Speaker 2: and I put them in. And I know that there
- 2:55Speaker 2: have to be the cheapest headphones in existence for them
- 2:57Speaker 2: to be given to you free on a plane. Tom,
- 3:00Speaker 2: I can hear the grass grown on the field outside.
- 3:02Speaker 3: You're looked out. You probably got one of an old set.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Do you remember when PanAm used to give you like
- 3:07Speaker 3: a blanket to take away, like right, didn't the ant
- 3:10Speaker 3: used to fly PanAm often this way when she would
- 3:14Speaker 3: be visiting with the cousins from from New York and
- 3:18Speaker 3: his PanAm. Still the thing couldn't tell you. I couldn't
- 3:21Speaker 3: tell you, and she'd rock on. I was gone even
- 3:23Speaker 3: at five or six, is gone. This woman is absolutely
- 3:26Speaker 3: stealing everything after plane because she full on woolen blankets
- 3:29Speaker 3: with PanAm written on it. Cops, you name it. She
- 3:33Speaker 3: was landing on with this ship like and for years
- 3:35Speaker 3: with the PanAm thing that just such a nice throw,
- 3:38Speaker 3: made no sense, but was across the back of the sofa,
- 3:40Speaker 3: you know, like Father Tedlar, the Holy One, Like I'm.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Kidding on the square with the life jacket. My dad
- 3:45Speaker 2: has a life jacket in the shed he took from
- 3:47Speaker 2: a plane that the.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Legend before I was before I was born, fucking Monahan
- 3:53Speaker 3: man before as.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I thought, I told you to tell you with him
- 3:58Speaker 2: and and and he never pulled the thing to inflate.
- 4:00Speaker 3: It did not for fear.
- 4:02Speaker 2: The gas has gone of it after fifty years now.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But at the same time, like you know, everybody's getting
- 4:06Speaker 2: a week with old and now I'd love to go

- 4:19Speaker 3: ever wanted to film a sketch like or something, but
- 4:21Speaker 3: Jesus money, you have to I do remember there was
- 4:23Speaker 3: a spade of neighbors near here got airplane seats and
- 4:27Speaker 3: I was like, did they just fucking road through fucking
- 4:30Speaker 3: Luckby or something? But they didn't. No, But you know
- 4:33Speaker 3: what I mean. It happened at the time and they
- 4:34Speaker 3: were showing up in like what the fuck. But it
- 4:37Speaker 3: turns out some breakers yard was breaking old planes here
- 4:41Speaker 3: in Ireland and some fella ended up with a rag
- 4:43Speaker 3: of seats and they were mad confident they would have
- 4:46Speaker 3: made a nice seats in the comedy club or your
- 4:47Speaker 3: own you know what I mean.
- 4:48Speaker 2: It would have been lovely if you had like a
- 4:49Speaker 2: little home theater set up or some such.
- 4:52Speaker 3: And you knew they were they were the old school
- 4:53Speaker 3: ones because they had the ask straight for an actual
- 4:55Speaker 3: fag ash in them, like you know, you know your
- 4:58Speaker 3: deal old school there with just fag edge in the

- 5:02Speaker 2: Jesus, I will tell you that much. Well, listen, what
- 5:03Speaker 2: was I going to tell you? Tom? We have a
- 5:06Speaker 2: lot to talk about this.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Week we do we use a nation have a lot.
- 5:10Speaker 3: We have a lot to talk about this week.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Means to be seen how much of it gets talked
- 5:14Speaker 2: about on The Tom and Jerry Show. You find listeners
- 5:17Speaker 2: of The Tom and Jerry Show who celebrated episode one
- 5:19Speaker 2: hundred with us last week. Thank you all for chiming in.
- 5:25Speaker 2: We are going to press ahead because there's a lot
- 5:28Speaker 2: to talk about. Tom. Well, we'll let the show unfold
- 5:32Speaker 2: and see how much of everything we talk about. But
- 5:35Speaker 2: we're going to kick it off with big news. Maybe
- 5:39Speaker 2: not the big new news people live through over the weekend,
- 5:41Speaker 2: but big news to the Tom and Jerry Show. That's
- 5:43Speaker 2: for damn sure. Let's get into it, Tom with a
- 5:45Speaker 2: segment we called the weekly What have You. This is
- 5:49Speaker 2: a very complicated case, mad, You know, a lot of ian's,
- 5:51Speaker 2: a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,
- 5:53Speaker 2: and a lot of strands to keep in my head.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Man, no shortage, no shark, but you know what I mean,
- 6:01Speaker 3: there's no shortage of outlets. Also that could tell me
- 6:04Speaker 3: about everything that happened over the weekend.
- 6:06Speaker 2: If you've been waiting patiently all week to hear Tom
- 6:09Speaker 2: and Jerry's.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Take, well, I'll tell you we were. I got I
- 6:14Speaker 3: got DM on my own Instagram to say that we
- 6:17Speaker 3: were keeping some people entertained while out out out and about.
- 6:22Speaker 2: That's good over the weekend. So that's their one and
- 6:24Speaker 2: only job. I'm not going to touch on that right now,
- 6:26Speaker 2: because it was bigger news, global news, okay, a global news, Tom,
- 6:32Speaker 2: global conflicts that we need to talk about. And again no,
- 6:36Speaker 2: not that one, not that one. But nevertheless, Tom, war,
- 6:42Speaker 2: what is it good for? There is a civil war
- 6:45Speaker 2: kicking off, I say kicking off. It's been rolling around
- 6:48Speaker 2: for eight years. We were only hearing about now and
- 6:51Speaker 2: it throws an old stain out the window. Ape will
- 6:54Speaker 2: not kill ape. Apparently apes will kill themselves all they
- 6:57Speaker 2: fucking want. Tom. There has been an eight years war
- 7:01Speaker 2: kicking off between two warring tribes of chimpanzees, don't you know?
- 7:07Speaker 2: In Uganda?
- 7:08Speaker 3: Do you know what? I'm in no way surprised here.
- 7:10Speaker 3: I mean, there's just as you said that I was
- 7:12Speaker 3: going to warring tribes of what pheasants you know and chimpanzees?
- 7:17Speaker 2: Do you know?
- 7:18Speaker 3: Like I don't want to wrap up the bit or
- 7:19Speaker 3: get off the fence on the bit here, but we
- 7:22Speaker 3: may as a kickoff where I feel we should kick off,
- 7:24Speaker 3: or as soon as I heard it, of course there is.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Of course, they're absolute, the fucking bastards.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I know.
- 7:30Speaker 3: We had monkeys the last day attacking them poor farmers.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Feels eight and spots left right and Cender sitting up.
- 7:35Speaker 2: We punched a monkey a couple of weeks ago, exactly
- 7:37Speaker 2: harmless enough our stuff.
- 7:39Speaker 3: But chimps, because they're so related to us, of course
- 7:43Speaker 3: they're going to be prized bollocks as to each other.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I have to tell you, Tom, I'm not happy that
- 7:48Speaker 2: there's a chimp civil war kicking off, but I feel like,
- 7:53Speaker 2: you know, it's nice now that animals aren't so fucking smug.
- 7:58Speaker 3: You know, I've been saying this year's jar, all these
- 8:01Speaker 3: fuckers wandering around one type of anomal and I've said
- 8:03Speaker 3: this to you in the past on this podcast. One
- 8:05Speaker 3: type of animal that you can and I'm not saying
- 8:07Speaker 3: once piece is just one particular type of animal that
- 8:10Speaker 3: can never be trusted is a fucker with fingers, oh yeah,
- 8:14Speaker 3: and with tombs and fingers can pull a trigger jar,
- 8:16Speaker 3: do you know what I mean?
- 8:17Speaker 2: And can pick its own hole. You're in trouble. Yeah,
- 8:19Speaker 2: now but do you know what I'm going to tell you?
- 8:22Speaker 2: For years, the human race have been killing each other
- 8:25Speaker 2: for generations, millennia, since time immemorium. And everybody always says
- 8:29Speaker 2: the same things, You wouldn't see animals acting like this, Well,
- 8:32Speaker 2: come to find out, Tom, Come to find out you would.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yes.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Indeed, the animals in the Ugandan National park called Kabbali
- 8:41Speaker 2: have been killing each other since twenty eighteen, racking up
- 8:44Speaker 2: twenty four kills Tom, including sadly to say, seventeen infants.
- 8:49Speaker 2: So again, show me the moral high ground now, monkey Like,
- 8:54Speaker 2: if they had their.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Finger on a button, either one would have obliterated each
- 8:58Speaker 3: other right now, what a fucking moments thought about it?
- 9:02Speaker 3: Like they just you know, I'm not gonna not gonna
- 9:05Speaker 3: I'm not gonna bash people who who our animal rights
- 9:10Speaker 3: people and all the rest of it. I have one
- 9:12Speaker 3: hundred percent into animals, but you need to take some context.
- 9:15Speaker 3: The wild is a nasty back.
- 9:19Speaker 2: These are and I'm terribly sorry to the are Uganan
- 9:21Speaker 2: listeners here for butcher names, but these aren't go go chimpanzees.
- 9:25Speaker 3: That's exactly how I would have said it.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And there you go.
- 9:28Speaker 3: I'll tell you now, Jar you know, I'm kind of
- 9:30Speaker 3: an expert on these things.
- 9:33Speaker 2: We'll we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll. We'll need citations for
- 9:38Speaker 2: that later on, but for now, we'll rock and roll.
- 9:42Speaker 2: The go go chimpanzees in Uganda. They have for the
- 9:47Speaker 2: longest time been split into two factions and commonly known
- 9:51Speaker 2: as the Western Chimps and the Central Chips. So it's
- 9:53Speaker 2: it's like it's it's like the Jets and the Sharks
- 9:55Speaker 2: all over again. By you know, it's using the capulates
- 9:58Speaker 2: coming at it, you know, but the just going about
- 10:01Speaker 2: their daily business doing chimp shit until round about twenty fifteen,
- 10:06Speaker 2: when vets and scientists noticed that they were starting, to
- 10:09Speaker 2: their words, not mind Tom polarize.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing that they but if they were there studying them,
- 10:16Speaker 3: keeping an eye on him, that they couldn't because you know,
- 10:18Speaker 3: they say, it can start with the smallest things like
- 10:21Speaker 3: the you know, the horrendously long war the battled in
- 10:25Speaker 3: the family wars and tribal wars that broke out in
- 10:27Speaker 3: Limerick for so many years apparently started with a schoolyard route,
- 10:31Speaker 3: oh yeah, and it just escalated like Chinese whispers in
- 10:34Speaker 3: every direction from there. You know, these things can like,
- 10:38Speaker 3: you know, get you know what was his name, Ferdinand
- 10:42Speaker 3: friends Ferdinand and whatnot. It all started in a.
- 10:44Speaker 2: There's got to be some but you know what I'm
- 10:46Speaker 2: going to tell you, tom there has to be some
- 10:50Speaker 2: sort of underlying Dislike Hatfields and McCoy's. They just fucking
- 10:55Speaker 2: like each other.
- 10:55Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Like we're hearing nothing from these
- 10:59Speaker 3: these these chimp ex sparts, but nothing. There's no no
- 11:04Speaker 3: such thing as a free launch. There's no there's no
- 11:06Speaker 3: smoke without fire. Something changed and the heads of either group,
- 11:11Speaker 3: the dev and the columns of either group didn't fucking
- 11:14Speaker 3: light the way the other one was operating.
- 11:17Speaker 2: There's There are three theories put forward tom as as
- 11:21Speaker 2: a pair of the afternoon of research I did on this.
- 11:24Speaker 2: The first is that there were debts in twenty fourteen,
- 11:28Speaker 2: which is before the supposed twenty eighteen kickoff of this.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Debt death, because the way I heard that, I thought
- 11:34Speaker 3: there was money owed, and that would have answered a
- 11:36Speaker 3: lot of questions.
- 11:37Speaker 2: No, the bananas he owed me, I gave you eighteen bananas,
- 11:44Speaker 2: paid by twelve. Yeah, I want my six bananas. And no,
- 11:47Speaker 2: there was a death of five adults made them one
- 11:50Speaker 2: adult female as part of the BBC website for reasons unknown.
- 11:54Speaker 2: So they just kind of died and then everyone was like, Okay,
- 11:57Speaker 2: we just don't like this, and dissent from Entered for
- 12:00Speaker 2: another couple of years, and then in twenty eighteen it
- 12:02Speaker 2: was just like there was a wedding or something and
- 12:03Speaker 2: all fucking kicked off. It is it is. It is
- 12:08Speaker 2: said that in the Western group round about the twenty
- 12:11Speaker 2: sixteen twenty seventeen Mark believed that there was a change
- 12:15Speaker 2: in leadership. There was a new alpha male appointed on
- 12:18Speaker 2: one or both sides of the groups. And you know, honestly,
- 12:23Speaker 2: meet the new boss. You know what I mean, he
- 12:24Speaker 2: does things.
- 12:25Speaker 3: It might have only taken one new leader on one
- 12:28Speaker 3: side if you think about it, because he might have
- 12:30Speaker 3: hated everything and he needed to put his foot down,
- 12:33Speaker 3: put his jim foot down and go no, fuck those
- 12:36Speaker 3: other guys. When the other fellow is a bit more
- 12:38Speaker 3: compliant and a bit more listen, we'll rub along with them,
- 12:41Speaker 3: but this guy's no fuck them, and they're all behind going, yeah,
- 12:45Speaker 3: should we go with the new guy? Yeah? What is
- 12:47Speaker 3: the new guy? He's the alpha and the new.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Guys they're like the new guys, they're like, open the
- 12:51Speaker 2: fucking street, you crazy bastards. Who would have think that
- 12:57Speaker 2: a newly elected leader would yeah, it would be kicked
- 13:01Speaker 2: over the top, lunatic.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is.
- 13:03Speaker 2: The sad part of it, Tom. The third thing that
- 13:06Speaker 2: may have happened to these two groups was the death
- 13:08Speaker 2: of twenty five chimpanzees over the years in twenty seventeen,
- 13:13Speaker 2: which was a result of a respiratory epidemic. So they
- 13:18Speaker 2: got covided or some such and then you know, one
- 13:21Speaker 2: of them was putting around on Facebook like it's all
- 13:23Speaker 2: just a hoax, don't get the job, and the rest
- 13:26Speaker 2: of them were like, shut the fuck up, you And
- 13:28Speaker 2: then now they're all killing each other over you see.
- 13:30Speaker 3: That's exactly what I think happens, or at least they
- 13:33Speaker 3: had no idea why they were, you know, getting sacred
- 13:36Speaker 3: dropping dead. But she the handiest thing to do is
- 13:39Speaker 3: it a blame you know, the person closest to you,
- 13:42Speaker 3: the people closest to you, And that's exactly what And
- 13:45Speaker 3: just then the spirits out of control because now you know,
- 13:48Speaker 3: and there's probably families married to families in this this scenario.
- 13:51Speaker 3: It's God, it's got to make it very awkward to
- 13:53Speaker 3: tons of Christenans and stuff like that, like it's going to.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Be, oh no, what I'm going to tell you? Not
- 13:56Speaker 2: for nothing? As well, they are chimpanzees. So if you
- 13:58Speaker 2: go down to the river one morning and you see
- 14:01Speaker 2: your brother chimp and he's laying there dead, and he
- 14:03Speaker 2: died of a respiratory ones but you don't know that,
- 14:05Speaker 2: there's no chimp patologist.
- 14:06Speaker 3: That's it. That's it.
- 14:08Speaker 2: They're just like, hang on a second, Seamus is dead.
- 14:12Speaker 2: It was them, the Western chimps that you see. This
- 14:15Speaker 2: is I think the Western chimps.
- 14:17Speaker 3: People want to think of the lovely notion that they're
- 14:19Speaker 3: so like, because look, they're human eyes. When they look
- 14:21Speaker 3: at us, them motherfuckers like you know, a doll would
- 14:26Speaker 3: see another dog, Da'd be said, But he's not gonna
- 14:28Speaker 3: go the fucker. I'm gonna fuckybody up. Whereas it's getting
- 14:33Speaker 3: chimp like. I think the part of us that's the ferocious,
- 14:38Speaker 3: fucking side, like this psychotic side. They absolutely zero to
- 14:41Speaker 3: one hundred side and probably over the top happy. You know,
- 14:45Speaker 3: they're really polarizing levels of motion. I think that is
- 14:48Speaker 3: where chimps are. They haven't really they possibly haven't found
- 14:52Speaker 3: that kind of Hey, man, just it's all right, Just relax, man.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Chimps tend to be either super happy or I want
- 15:00Speaker 3: to fuck everything, like they're the strongest, like they what
- 15:04Speaker 3: the have you? Did you watch that show chimp Nation?
- 15:07Speaker 2: No, I fucking hate monkeys.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Oh I hate him too. I hate it.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I just hate it. I mean, like even you know,
- 15:13Speaker 2: like the Tetley Tea or the pg tips chimps and
- 15:15Speaker 2: they're just they're all cuddly and hugging off. Yeah, I'm like, no,
- 15:18Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I want you all to live a life
- 15:21Speaker 2: of religious freedom in the forest in habitats and be
- 15:25Speaker 2: safe and well, but please stay the hell away from me.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Yeah. I gouge and bastards, I know, I'm I had
- 15:31Speaker 3: a guy one night in the show and he was
- 15:33Speaker 3: he was like he'd been waiting his whole life to
- 15:35Speaker 3: tell me that he produced prosthetic arms from monkeys from
- 15:39Speaker 3: war torn countries where they'd picked up land mines. There
- 15:42Speaker 3: was that much business for this Dublin engineering firm to
- 15:44Speaker 3: make prosthetic arms and legs for monkeys. And everybody went, oh,
- 15:50Speaker 3: are you turning down him into jacks? From fucking street fighter?
- 15:53Speaker 2: The monkey combat.
- 15:59Speaker 3: I knew, I knew you'd appreciate that reference, but almost
- 16:02Speaker 3: nobody else in the room did. But when I explained,
- 16:03Speaker 3: there was like, these fuckers already hate us. Now you've
- 16:07Speaker 3: double hatedus because we've blown their arms up and you've
- 16:09Speaker 3: given them mechanical arms. You know, like Lieutenant got new legs.
- 16:15Speaker 3: These fuckers are not going to absolutely destroy anything that
- 16:19Speaker 3: comes their way in the way humans they have nothing
- 16:21Speaker 3: but fewer Like on a chimnation thing, they just hold
- 16:23Speaker 3: down a monkey. They'll just hold down a monkey by
- 16:26Speaker 3: the back of the neck and just just start ripping
- 16:28Speaker 3: out his back muscles and eating it alive. As a
- 16:30Speaker 3: team dreams like so when they have a fucking a
- 16:35Speaker 3: b and there bonnecher these chims.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Holy shit, Well time, I'm going to tell you that much. Now,
- 16:43Speaker 2: very simple war. What is it good for?
- 16:47Speaker 3: How many chimps are we talking about in this war? Like,
- 16:50Speaker 3: are we talking about a thousand gyms? How many chips?
- 16:52Speaker 2: You know there's some two hundred odd gyms across Okay, right,
- 16:56Speaker 2: You know what I will say is, whether you're a
- 16:58Speaker 2: Western or a Central Google chimp in the area, even
- 17:03Speaker 2: if you've nothing to do with either of them. I'd say,
- 17:05Speaker 2: you know you're not in it, but you're in it.
- 17:09Speaker 3: What's what's their plan for? Because they can't just let
- 17:12Speaker 3: this roll on?
- 17:13Speaker 2: Oh no, there's no plan. They're just gonna let it roll.
- 17:15Speaker 3: On, Okay, right, and hope that a physically there's no Yeah,
- 17:18Speaker 3: there's no. There's no mediator.
- 17:21Speaker 2: No Henry Kissinger of apes.
- 17:23Speaker 3: They can't. They can't a wise orangutang to just go, hey,
- 17:29Speaker 3: gether on the fire children. I have something to tell you.
- 17:31Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's just they don't even have a
- 17:35Speaker 2: hands blakes to go in and see if there's weapons
- 17:37Speaker 2: of mass monkey destruction, like coking up the fucking mash
- 17:39Speaker 2: against head something.
- 17:40Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you know it's it's.
- 17:45Speaker 2: It's really uh. I think this one we might be
- 17:48Speaker 2: revisiting this time next year, Tom. But what I want
- 17:50Speaker 2: to talk about before we get off the bit war?
- 17:52Speaker 2: What is it good for? I'll tell you what it's
- 17:54Speaker 2: good for. It's good for one thing, buddy, movies, do
- 17:58Speaker 2: you know? And I think there are a couple of
- 18:01Speaker 2: fair to decent movies coming out of this one. Tom.
- 18:03Speaker 2: What if there was a monkey who had four brothers
- 18:07Speaker 2: and all four brothers were killed and he was the
- 18:10Speaker 2: last one left and a team of chimps had to
- 18:12Speaker 2: win and rescue him. Tom, I give you Saving Primate Ryan.
- 18:22Speaker 3: The second you said that you was comed episode.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I'll give you a better one. What if I go on?
- 18:27Speaker 2: What if there was a chimp general went rogue somewhere
- 18:30Speaker 2: up river and we had to say name a captain
- 18:33Speaker 2: to kill him. Tom, I present to you, Yes, apocalypse now.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Or perhaps in twenty sixteen, a team of cracked monkeys
- 18:44Speaker 2: were sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit.
- 18:47Speaker 2: These chimps probably escaped to the Ugandan underground. Today, still
- 18:51Speaker 2: wanted by the government, they survive as monkeys of fortune.
- 18:55Speaker 2: If you have a problem, no one else can to
- 18:57Speaker 2: help you, and if you can find them, maybe you
- 18:59Speaker 2: can high the hip team.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I got, buddy, I'm clipping that. That's good. Oh,
- 19:09Speaker 3: that's that's I'm so happy that all depended out exactly how.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I hope to out.
- 19:13Speaker 3: That's what's amazing.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Amazing clip that. Why do you clip that. Let's go
- 19:17Speaker 2: to the next segment of the show, which is about
- 19:20Speaker 2: people clipping each other, so to speak. We're gonna move
- 19:23Speaker 2: on to some people that really call a eye this
- 19:26Speaker 2: week and again no, not those people. There was some
- 19:30Speaker 2: other lads that were kicking off as they're known to do.
- 19:34Speaker 2: And on the Tom and Jerry Show, we like to
- 19:36Speaker 2: find these lads and bring to the world and say, well,
- 19:39Speaker 2: you know, there's these lads and those lads and them lads,
- 19:42Speaker 2: and then there's this lad. Now there's that guy.
- 19:46Speaker 3: It's perplexed me since day out, this this thing.
- 19:50Speaker 2: This this thing has grown to the point where I'm like,
- 19:53Speaker 2: how has this not been stopped?
- 19:56Speaker 3: I like, I loved physical in rotation in sport. I
- 20:01Speaker 3: loved it put under a controlled scenario.
- 20:04Speaker 2: You you you have fought Tom.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And but there was much more violence in
- 20:11Speaker 3: rugby than there was even in Gaelic football. But then
- 20:13Speaker 3: there wasn't fighting but to which is in an ironic way,
- 20:17Speaker 3: but we can end up in this fucking place where
- 20:20Speaker 3: we've ended up now and this is just right up
- 20:23Speaker 3: there with you know, right up there with like Trump's
- 20:27Speaker 3: America right now, or this makes perfect sense.
- 20:30Speaker 2: This is about where we're at. We're talking about this
- 20:32Speaker 2: week's this lad and indeed, these lads and these ladies
- 20:36Speaker 2: are the stars of the latest combat sport, growing like
- 20:42Speaker 2: a fucking tumor. The lads and ladies of power slap,
- 20:46Speaker 2: power slap, power slap.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Anybody's kind of gone, okay, I have no idea, and
- 20:51Speaker 3: it's like.
- 20:52Speaker 2: A power slap, Tom, take us through what power slap is?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Just give me the give me the elevator pitch for
- 20:56Speaker 2: power slap there.
- 20:57Speaker 3: So it essentially what you're dealing dealing with it is
- 21:01Speaker 3: two people standing opposite you other over what if you
- 21:04Speaker 3: imagine the arm wrestling table arm wrestling has been around
- 21:06Speaker 3: for years, kind of made sense, You've got okay, well
- 21:10Speaker 3: got to ludicrous levels of guys are so powerful they
- 21:12Speaker 3: were breaking arms and stuff like that. But that's what
- 21:13Speaker 3: you're standing across from each other with.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Do you know do you know what it looks like
- 21:19Speaker 2: it It looks like the podium on Family Fortunes. Yeah, yeah,
- 21:23Speaker 2: it looks like they're about to be asked. We asked
- 21:24Speaker 2: one hundred people.
- 21:25Speaker 3: And it is even stand that way because you've got
- 21:28Speaker 3: to stand with your hands.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Behind that, with your hands behind your back.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know that there's trouble when there's two
- 21:33Speaker 3: people standing behind each person, You're like, what have we
- 21:36Speaker 3: got here now? And then one gets to fucking wind
- 21:40Speaker 3: up you can't move your head, you flinch, you pull back.
- 21:44Speaker 3: I think they get a second cracker or they drop
- 21:46Speaker 3: a point. I'm not be honest, but they get to
- 21:49Speaker 3: absolutely meat hook you across the face with everything they've
- 21:55Speaker 3: gotten their.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Paw with an open handslap, with an.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Open handslap, and you think, ah, well, I mean these
- 22:01Speaker 3: fuckers are connecting way. If you've ever been open handed
- 22:03Speaker 3: slapped onto the fucking ear or onto the fucking like nothing,
- 22:07Speaker 3: whatever it is about a punch, it'll kind of it'll
- 22:10Speaker 3: hurt you on the spot, But a fucking open handed,
- 22:12Speaker 3: meaty slap rings your bell through your whole head like nothing.
- 22:17Speaker 3: I've like nothing I can describe, and your fucking ears roasting.
- 22:22Speaker 3: These people's faces are changed like what as one person said,
- 22:26Speaker 3: and it was true. I should get to try and
- 22:28Speaker 3: get the video and send it to you. Like this
- 22:30Speaker 3: girl changed her ethnicity. She got hit so fucking hard,
- 22:34Speaker 3: like her eyes. Actually she became quite Asian looking. This
- 22:38Speaker 3: wide eyed gwilo fucking white girl got hit so fucking
- 22:43Speaker 3: hard it rearranged the molecular structure of her fucking face ancestry.
- 22:47Speaker 2: So it did.
- 22:48Speaker 3: She still with a gumshield gun. Yeah, so I I
- 22:50Speaker 3: hit you.
- 22:51Speaker 2: I hit you as hard as I can with a slap.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Then you hit me as hard as you can with
- 22:55Speaker 2: a slap.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, jar, you hit me just back
- 22:57Speaker 3: and forth. It well, you hope it is. But those
- 23:00Speaker 3: two fellows that was telling me about the stand behind you,
- 23:02Speaker 3: that's when you fucking drop yes, because if it rings
- 23:06Speaker 3: your bell, I'm telling you now, you get hit on
- 23:08Speaker 3: the corner of the jaw with one of those media hands,
- 23:11Speaker 3: you are in the soft part of the temple, its
- 23:14Speaker 3: lights out. You've just sparked out.
- 23:16Speaker 2: So like this is one of these sports that if
- 23:18Speaker 2: you lose the coind toss at the start.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Good strong chance you're done for.
- 23:23Speaker 2: This's not a case of hoursh to look. The wind
- 23:24Speaker 2: will be with us in the second half. We just
- 23:26Speaker 2: have to know. You could just get knocked out with
- 23:28Speaker 2: a single slap to the face and.
- 23:31Speaker 3: There's no dock and there's no weaving, there's no.
- 23:33Speaker 2: No you just you know, there's no as you say yourself,
- 23:36Speaker 2: there's no bob and there's no job. Just literally put
- 23:38Speaker 2: your face out to be slapped. Now, Tom, can you
- 23:41Speaker 2: explain to me? And I haven't I suppose I could
- 23:43Speaker 2: have just looked this up and I didn't care about
- 23:46Speaker 2: it that much. What is this sort of pool noodle
- 23:51Speaker 2: that they're holding in the hands? Which one the person
- 23:55Speaker 2: that's getting slapped. So I'm you're you're slapping me Tom
- 23:58Speaker 2: versus Jerry, and you're slapping me. I hold behind my
- 24:01Speaker 2: back like.
- 24:03Speaker 3: It looks like a piece of pipe in something ie.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I for what I can tell that is to make
- 24:07Speaker 3: sure your hands stay behind your back.
- 24:09Speaker 2: So your hands have to stay on that behind.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Your yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's not like your hand.
- 24:14Speaker 3: If your fingers are locked behind your back and you
- 24:16Speaker 3: fall back with that, there's no protection for yourself, even
- 24:20Speaker 3: even if you pass the other two guys that are
- 24:21Speaker 3: trying to catch you. So there's no protection for yourself.
- 24:23Speaker 3: So at least your hands are back behind your back,
- 24:26Speaker 3: they're on a designated designated item.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Like rather than it's how you it's how you hold
- 24:32Speaker 2: your hands. I thought it was like you had to
- 24:34Speaker 2: keep a hold of that. So if you got rocked
- 24:36Speaker 2: and you dropped it, then your dock pointing.
- 24:38Speaker 3: I don't think so, no, I don't. I don't think
- 24:40Speaker 3: it's that complex.
- 24:41Speaker 2: And what I could tell you not even that amount
- 24:42Speaker 2: of thought has been put into.
- 24:43Speaker 3: This I struggle to watch it, and I can watch
- 24:47Speaker 3: a lot of violence.
- 24:48Speaker 2: That is the thing. I like box and knockouts, MMA
- 24:52Speaker 2: knockouts just fine. You know, a crane kick to the head.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Who doesn't love it? Just think of just kind of
- 24:59Speaker 2: standing there and taking accepting your face and and and
- 25:02Speaker 2: not for nothing as well, Tom, acting like there's some
- 25:05Speaker 2: sort of skill in what you're doing, Like you're not
- 25:08Speaker 2: just teeing off on a on a prone target, or
- 25:11Speaker 2: if you're the person getting slapped, acting like there's a yeah,
- 25:15Speaker 2: you see. What I think I'll do is I'll send
- 25:17Speaker 2: my brain to the left side of my skull.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, that's exactly it, and and
- 25:22Speaker 3: the other and the person swinging is like, yeah, motherfucker,
- 25:25Speaker 3: hold on, what did you do? You just swung your
- 25:28Speaker 3: hand like a helicopter at a kid's face and now
- 25:31Speaker 3: he's fallen down. Guess whereas it's.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Do you know what it's like, Tom, And tell you
- 25:35Speaker 2: what it's like. You know, if you go to the
- 25:37Speaker 2: carnival or the arcade or whatever, and there's like a
- 25:40Speaker 2: punching machine to see how larger can punch it, imagine
- 25:44Speaker 2: if that was a face, a real human that's literally
- 25:47Speaker 2: what we're doing here.
- 25:47Speaker 3: And so the people listen going to fuck off. There's
- 25:50Speaker 3: I swear on my life. We will will put up
- 25:52Speaker 3: some some footage of it. It's all over the internet. Certainly,
- 25:55Speaker 3: my algorithm, Miny.
- 25:56Speaker 2: My algorithm to me all the time. Tom, here's one
- 25:59Speaker 2: for you. Why are we Why is power slab come
- 26:02Speaker 2: to the public consciousness a lot more in recent years?
- 26:05Speaker 2: Has some investor decided that this is the sport of
- 26:08Speaker 2: the future.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Well, it would seem so money. Money follows money, as
- 26:12Speaker 3: you said, fucking ink, never refuse paper and paper and
- 26:15Speaker 3: never refuse inc This started back in where else but
- 26:19Speaker 3: mother Russia, because they're Russian. I mean, we don't they
- 26:24Speaker 3: stand there? You know these over there typically they were
- 26:27Speaker 3: and like everything underground or in Russia, it was underground
- 26:31Speaker 3: because its cold as fuck overground. And it would seem
- 26:34Speaker 3: it was like huge lads, big huge lads, straight out
- 26:40Speaker 3: of fucking again, straight out of the street, fighters looking fuckers,
- 26:44Speaker 3: just the big.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Sort of world strongest men.
- 26:46Speaker 3: Yeah, emptying each other's fucking heads like you know, pooh
- 26:51Speaker 3: poo to concussion and all the rest of it. And
- 26:54Speaker 3: from there, just like these backyard fights they used you
- 26:57Speaker 3: know these backyard fight news go on and a couple
- 26:59Speaker 3: of fellows made it. Did you see from that, like
- 27:01Speaker 3: the likes of oh, what was the name of the
- 27:04Speaker 3: port he died Lord of Merson in a couple of
- 27:05Speaker 3: years ago. Kimbo Slice was one of these, you know,
- 27:08Speaker 3: and it was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah sure he but
- 27:14Speaker 3: so like that came to America with viral things. But
- 27:17Speaker 3: just let's hit each and I suppose you can see
- 27:19Speaker 3: it happen at a party, much like arm wrestling.
- 27:22Speaker 2: You can see remember going through a period of time
- 27:24Speaker 2: as a young man where we would try and give
- 27:26Speaker 2: each other dead arms.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know you're doing the.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Bravado took over a lot, Tom and you check us
- 27:32Speaker 2: olf the next morning and you'd be black and blue.
- 27:34Speaker 3: Now, there was a load of stuff around that, like
- 27:36Speaker 3: around the early the kind of mid teens of the
- 27:39Speaker 3: two thousands. I remember friends used to be sending me
- 27:41Speaker 3: one and another one and they all seemed to originate
- 27:44Speaker 3: in And there was this one. I was fucking amazing.
- 27:47Speaker 3: It would be like twenty UFC fighters, we'ld go at
- 27:50Speaker 3: each other. It's been which I kind of liked that one.
- 27:53Speaker 3: And then they had they had this one which I
- 27:55Speaker 3: think is better than the gage. It was like a
- 27:57Speaker 3: sloped pit. You remember the Den the Conversation then from
- 28:01Speaker 3: the seventies and the Dead Legs would have in their house.
- 28:03Speaker 3: You'd step down. It was like that, but only sloped
- 28:06Speaker 3: in pads and you could back to the bollocks off
- 28:08Speaker 3: each other. And I kind of thought, okay, Then.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Came I do remember, I do remember, And I fucking
- 28:13Speaker 2: watched this as an avid van for many years. A
- 28:17Speaker 2: thing called hip Show, which was two on two MMA
- 28:22Speaker 2: in like Pat Sharp's fun house.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but with little towers and
- 28:27Speaker 3: sit there are ropes you could swing on. There are
- 28:30Speaker 3: so many iterations, like there is actually one where there's
- 28:33Speaker 3: a phone box where the two Russian lads, and of
- 28:35Speaker 3: course there are always Russian lads. We'll stand in a
- 28:37Speaker 3: phone box, it's locked and for one minute, well one
- 28:41Speaker 3: hand only they get to fucking light each other up.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Like there's another one that's huge now in America, and
- 28:48Speaker 3: it's straight out a cable guy, but it's in a
- 28:50Speaker 3: ring for some reason. I don't know why they have
- 28:52Speaker 3: it in a ring and not like but it's medieval
- 28:55Speaker 3: guys and they're dressed fully in armor Mace's Morning Stars,
- 28:59Speaker 3: fucking and spears, swords, battle axes, fucking knocking ship out
- 29:05Speaker 3: of each other. You know, all became these do you know?
- 29:10Speaker 3: They like things that you imagine would have only happened
- 29:13Speaker 3: in the future. When when you're watching movies about the
- 29:15Speaker 3: future in the eighties where people sill fault, there's thunderdome
- 29:20Speaker 3: ship underdome shit. And then this slap fight then started
- 29:23Speaker 3: coming around and it formed its own kind of like
- 29:27Speaker 3: the indie wrestling scene. There was a few indie fellas
- 29:29Speaker 3: and then Bare Knuckle was trying to get off the
- 29:31Speaker 3: ground as well. At the same time took big investment
- 29:33Speaker 3: and a lot of licensing because they were how dangerous
- 29:35Speaker 3: it was. And then I suppose money being money and
- 29:40Speaker 3: not an object, and I suppose spotted it'll probably only
- 29:43Speaker 3: last five years before we've too many people die of
- 29:46Speaker 3: dementia and concussions. Where Dana White, do you of UFC
- 29:50Speaker 3: fame went?
- 29:51Speaker 2: I backed this of USC fam who you know is
- 29:56Speaker 2: not hurting for money, rotten with money like and how
- 30:00Speaker 2: as if you know is the lead is the Vince
- 30:02Speaker 2: McMahon of UFC, So he's the household name of you
- 30:07Speaker 2: of mixed martial artists, mixed martial arts. I guess like
- 30:10Speaker 2: he's your man suddenly decided, you know what, it's not
- 30:15Speaker 2: enough to have fights between two people in a cage
- 30:18Speaker 2: where you know one of the may or may not
- 30:20Speaker 2: get knocked out, but someone's going home with a sorehead.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I'm just gonna distill it down to its purest form
- 30:26Speaker 2: power slap like I on one. It is such someone's
- 30:32Speaker 2: fucking dying the night, Frankie.
- 30:33Speaker 3: It's such a money grab because do you know, like
- 30:37Speaker 3: to get to the ultimate level of being an MMA
- 30:40Speaker 3: fighter and have a couple of friends who are pro
- 30:42Speaker 3: MMA fighters and the dedication of martial arts and wrestling
- 30:47Speaker 3: and jiu jitsu that it takes, like you know what
- 30:48Speaker 3: I mean, their diet has to be three hundred and
- 30:50Speaker 3: fifty days of the year. It's and there's so much
- 30:53Speaker 3: where they're constantly learning getting better at you know, dodging
- 30:56Speaker 3: and defending and all these little nuances to these things
- 31:00Speaker 3: where you could only hope to try and go, well, okay,
- 31:01Speaker 3: if we're going to go back to the origins. I
- 31:03Speaker 3: don't like it watching it because I think it's but
- 31:06Speaker 3: the bare knuckles then you go, okay, you're going back
- 31:07Speaker 3: to the Queensberry rules of you know, toe the line,
- 31:10Speaker 3: and that's the old school way. But then they went
- 31:12Speaker 3: completely what is this bag of shit? Because it's a
- 31:16Speaker 3: bag of shit, like like there's another one.
- 31:18Speaker 2: It's unwatchable, you know what it's like. It's like sumo
- 31:20Speaker 2: wrestling if you see clips of it online, and it's like,
- 31:24Speaker 2: you know, one slap and the guy just completely fucking
- 31:26Speaker 2: crumbles into himself like tow er seven, like he's just
- 31:29Speaker 2: gone and like, wow, okay, five seconds, all right. The
- 31:32Speaker 2: preamble to that is like ten minutes long of posture
- 31:35Speaker 2: and and and and throwing shop hands and all this
- 31:38Speaker 2: kind of fucking folder off like it's clown shoes.
- 31:41Speaker 3: But at least you'll give, you know what, you give
- 31:43Speaker 3: this some where you go, well, do you know what
- 31:44Speaker 3: you did? Let's he trained for this at least and
- 31:48Speaker 3: you put on massive size because that's you know, there's
- 31:51Speaker 3: at least a tradition of an art to form two
- 31:54Speaker 3: it you go, okay, all right, and not into it,
- 31:56Speaker 3: but I get I give it to you. But this
- 31:58Speaker 3: slap slap shit, and it's it's the same ethos where
- 32:02Speaker 3: it's kind of over and done in three seconds. Because
- 32:05Speaker 3: let's be honest, this was formed around TikTok like they knew,
- 32:09Speaker 3: they knew it was TikTok viewer.
- 32:11Speaker 2: And it was five seconds filmed very TikTok friendly, like
- 32:13Speaker 2: of course, it looks good on a vertical screen like
- 32:16Speaker 2: a good it looks good on your phone.
- 32:17Speaker 3: There's another one that has come out now and it's
- 32:21Speaker 3: I don't know what slap fighting was taken from. I
- 32:23Speaker 3: guess maybe you could argue it was taken from you know,
- 32:27Speaker 3: hockey where they pucked the fucking head of each other.
- 32:29Speaker 3: There's another one called run It Straight. Have you seen this? Oh?
- 32:33Speaker 2: Go on?
- 32:33Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 32:34Speaker 2: It rings about what was again?
- 32:35Speaker 3: So a lot of Americans are starting to get into
- 32:36Speaker 3: it now, but it's originated really in Australia, New Zealand,
- 32:42Speaker 3: and it's two ends of a fucking wish to meet.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh fucking yeah. So one gets the ball
- 32:52Speaker 3: rugby ball under his arm and on the whistle, much
- 32:56Speaker 3: like you know gladiators. They run and it's not not
- 33:02Speaker 3: in it's not to try and get around each other,
- 33:03Speaker 3: because that would be what a rugby thing is. You go, okay,
- 33:06Speaker 3: we have this shark lame way here, try and sidestep him,
- 33:09Speaker 3: throw him off, and you know, see can you get
- 33:11Speaker 3: around him? That's the whole purpose of rugby. That's actually
- 33:15Speaker 3: the purpose of rugby is not getting.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Fucking hit right, not so not so much, but run
- 33:19Speaker 2: it straight.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Run it straight is at full tilt. At full fucking
- 33:25Speaker 3: tilt you are will melt into another fucking human. And
- 33:30Speaker 3: it's basically which alpha gets to fucking be stay left
- 33:34Speaker 3: standing after now, I can tell you both of them
- 33:37Speaker 3: absolutely have concusions after everyone. Whether they think forget it now,
- 33:41Speaker 3: I think it seems to be. I would say one
- 33:45Speaker 3: thing to anybody going, Actually it sounds like a bit
- 33:47Speaker 3: of crack. I like the bit of confrontation back in
- 33:50Speaker 3: the day, and I'm in New Zealand or I'm in
- 33:53Speaker 3: America or whatever wherever it's. I'd go to the next
- 33:55Speaker 3: one and maybe put my hat in the ring. Don't
- 33:57Speaker 3: don't it gets slapped if you want, because I'll tell
- 34:01Speaker 3: you there's a certain there's a certain anthropolo political background
- 34:08Speaker 3: to these people that are successful at this. They're all polynesianer.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:13Speaker 3: And there's one thing I've learned in my time I've
- 34:17Speaker 3: many is a take it my hand hold handed to me,
- 34:19Speaker 3: is that you never go confrontationally against a Polynesian of
- 34:25Speaker 3: any sort, whether their tongue and sam Owen, Fijian, oh Hawaiian.
- 34:34Speaker 3: You just let them have it because they are They
- 34:38Speaker 3: are actually physically made of different stuff. Their their muscles
- 34:42Speaker 3: is denser, their bones are denser, and they fucking love it.
- 34:47Speaker 3: The Usos love to smash, That's their whole thing. They
- 34:51Speaker 3: licked their lips at smashing. And I don't know which
- 34:54Speaker 3: lad died, but I would, I would I lay a
- 34:58Speaker 3: fucking good five risk, fine fural note on it that
- 35:02Speaker 3: it was somehow the Polynesian gay Honky took fancy himself
- 35:07Speaker 3: because you know he was a big boy in college
- 35:09Speaker 3: and went up against the fucking absolute rhinosters of a human.
- 35:14Speaker 2: So to to run it straight at power slap now,
- 35:18Speaker 2: just before we move on to the subject, because the honestly, folks,
- 35:20Speaker 2: if you think we're not saying too much about it,
- 35:22Speaker 2: there's not much to say to slap each other in
- 35:24Speaker 2: the face. And the slow motion replays of it look
- 35:28Speaker 2: like like like when they would make jelly people in
- 35:32Speaker 2: Midbusters to show you what cannonballs do to you.
- 35:34Speaker 3: That's exactly it.
- 35:35Speaker 2: They look like.
- 35:36Speaker 3: If anybody if anybody looked watched Tyson Fury's fight over
- 35:40Speaker 3: the weekend in Tottenham Stadium. He he wears his shirts
- 35:46Speaker 3: very high and the day after I don't know what
- 35:49Speaker 3: he shuttles into his system to get so much water
- 35:52Speaker 3: weight onto himself. Now he has a bit of a
- 35:54Speaker 3: dad bought anyway, Tyson Fury. But from behind he has
- 35:58Speaker 3: these two saddlebags that are water that he didn't have
- 36:01Speaker 3: the day before. Because he's got in weight. He maybe
- 36:03Speaker 3: he might be put on ten twelve pounds over twenty
- 36:06Speaker 3: four hour period from way in to fight. And because
- 36:08Speaker 3: it does when you've that much extra weight put on,
- 36:11Speaker 3: it does fucking add up when you're leaning in on
- 36:13Speaker 3: fellas a punching ahead of him. But there was so
- 36:15Speaker 3: much jiggle that it didn't even look human that was
- 36:18Speaker 3: flapping around on his back. And anybody who wants to
- 36:21Speaker 3: go and watch that and just slow it down and go, oh,
- 36:24Speaker 3: I can't be watching his slap fights. Imagine two faces
- 36:28Speaker 3: on the back of Tyson Fury's hips and that's exactly
- 36:32Speaker 3: what it looks like. It just flaps and wiggles like
- 36:36Speaker 3: you wouldn't believe a human like. It moves off the bone.
- 36:40Speaker 3: It moves off the fucking bone.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, Tom. Now we say power slap
- 36:46Speaker 2: is on the up and on the up and on
- 36:48Speaker 2: the up? Is it?
- 36:49Speaker 3: Though?
- 36:50Speaker 2: Because we've talked an awful lot about this so called
- 36:52Speaker 2: sport and I can't name you one person that's in it.
- 36:56Speaker 3: I don't know the power slap has a Hule.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Cogan or Econo McGregor or a uh a Ronda Rousi
- 37:02Speaker 2: because women do this power slap ship.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Here's the thing. I don't know if any of them
- 37:08Speaker 3: would be able to name anybody else. And that's what
- 37:11Speaker 3: I mean. There it fucking rings there. But like like
- 37:16Speaker 3: if they don't drop fuck met they're just they're not
- 37:19Speaker 3: short off it.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Like I've seen people souls leave their bodies.
- 37:24Speaker 3: This is I tell you what this is. This was
- 37:28Speaker 3: absolutely made for the Internet and they will live longer
- 37:31Speaker 3: on TikTok and Instagram than it will in actual real life.
- 37:37Speaker 2: For something that was built for the Internet and built
- 37:39Speaker 2: for TikTok, it just really really strikes as being something
- 37:44Speaker 2: that we used to do before we learned about concussion.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And the fact that you know, we learned
- 37:50Speaker 2: everything we know about concussions and then invented this ship
- 37:55Speaker 2: and then Dana White put money behind it and runs
- 37:58Speaker 2: these events in Las Vegas to crowds tom that looked
- 38:01Speaker 2: to my eyes to be in the dozens. Like nobody
- 38:04Speaker 2: fucking goes to this. It's like it's in the stadium
- 38:06Speaker 2: of fifty zerusand people. That's what I said.
- 38:08Speaker 3: It's me they should have just called this the CTE
- 38:12Speaker 3: Championships because nobody's gone. It's not like even if you're
- 38:17Speaker 3: not into the darts, you go to the darts because
- 38:19Speaker 3: you know it's there's a skill that there's comes a
- 38:21Speaker 3: time when you're taking the pisce. This is pure clickbit
- 38:25Speaker 3: there's I guarantee it. There's a person fucking on the
- 38:28Speaker 3: planet that there's watched more than twenty five seconds of
- 38:30Speaker 3: this and it's all on their phone. I would love
- 38:33Speaker 3: to meet.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Something, buddy. Everyone into this. This whole sport is just
- 38:37Speaker 2: developed to like mind bitcoin or something.
- 38:43Speaker 3: That oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. There's something underline
- 38:46Speaker 3: with this whole thing, because it doesn't make like there
- 38:48Speaker 3: will be more enjoyment watching the Conquerors Championships.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Honestly, do you know what I'm going to tell you,
- 38:54Speaker 2: and I'll say it to you. It's straight. Dana White
- 38:56Speaker 2: probably invested in this so that when you google Dana
- 38:59Speaker 2: why slap, it just doesn't bring you straight to the
- 39:01Speaker 2: footage of him slapping his wife on the night.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly just to cover his tracks, Yeah,
- 39:07Speaker 3: just to.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Cover his track. We'll cover our tracks as we moved
- 39:10Speaker 2: swiftly on into the final segment of The Tom and
- 39:14Speaker 2: Jerry Show, Ladies and Gentlemen, a segment where me and
- 39:16Speaker 2: Tom acknowledged the fact there were a pair of miserable
- 39:19Speaker 2: old bastards in our mid forties, born in the early eighties,
- 39:24Speaker 2: lived through the nineties, twoenty, twenty tens, all the way
- 39:27Speaker 2: up here. We've seen a lot of shit come and
- 39:29Speaker 2: a lot of shit go, and we reminisce upon it,
- 39:32Speaker 2: don't you know. In a segment we call we remember
- 39:35Speaker 2: when when I was a young lad twenty or thirty
- 39:38Speaker 2: or forty years ago. Well, we finally got to the
- 39:41Speaker 2: tractors tramp. Oh did we got to detractors? Jar it did?
- 39:43Speaker 3: We did? Do you know what it was? It's we're
- 39:48Speaker 3: not We typically steer away from the normal run of
- 39:52Speaker 3: the mill as to what's going on, because that's why
- 39:53Speaker 3: people come here, come here, to this podcast, but it
- 39:56Speaker 3: does have to be acknowledged that as success was, I
- 39:59Speaker 3: had no doubt a few people.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you tom as we record here.
- 40:04Speaker 2: It's Monday. Yeah, and on occasion there'll be like big
- 40:09Speaker 2: news stories that for whatever reason I'll just either not
- 40:14Speaker 2: engage with or won't register with me.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 40:18Speaker 2: It got as far as Saturday and people were still
- 40:19Speaker 2: talking about the protest and I was like, oh, was
- 40:21Speaker 2: that not It was not a couple of is that?
- 40:23Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, ship, that crap. That's
- 40:25Speaker 2: that's a lot bigger than I thought. Just for whatever reason,
- 40:27Speaker 2: I just didn't just just didn't gel with me it,
- 40:31Speaker 2: And it didn't with a lot of people.
- 40:33Speaker 3: I reckon. I reckon that, I know, because a lot
- 40:36Speaker 3: of people were I suppose not nothing, were in a
- 40:39Speaker 3: more comfortable environment, and that you weren't. You could get
- 40:42Speaker 3: to wherever you needed to go because you either use
- 40:44Speaker 3: public transport or you you didn't use a lot of
- 40:47Speaker 3: diesel or petrol in your car or whatever, you know
- 40:49Speaker 3: what I mean. So it wasn't a big big effect
- 40:52Speaker 3: on you. I think for the most part, it was
- 40:55Speaker 3: the protest kind of held up large highways and whatnot
- 41:00Speaker 3: around the country, And there was a couple where I
- 41:01Speaker 3: couldn't make it, make it to gigs and stuff, and
- 41:03Speaker 3: it was like, well, look if this many people are
- 41:07Speaker 3: passionately turned out, and a lot of people that I knew,
- 41:09Speaker 3: I knew I know very well and family murmurs or
- 41:12Speaker 3: whatnot that were affected by it. I mean, we're being
- 41:14Speaker 3: put out of business at the price of all these
- 41:16Speaker 3: things and whatnot. Being if you've got a million quids
- 41:18Speaker 3: sitting in the yard and they all need fuel and
- 41:20Speaker 3: you've just been told, oh, you're going to spend another
- 41:22Speaker 3: forty thousand this year on fuel that you weren't planning
- 41:24Speaker 3: and spelling.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Bigs in the crawl and could we could fill a
- 41:30Speaker 2: full episode about the protest, the protesters, various factions and
- 41:34Speaker 2: groups that showed up within the protest, what came forth
- 41:36Speaker 2: the chicken and the egg. But that's Tom and Jerry
- 41:38Speaker 2: Way are going about it, folks. What we do want
- 41:41Speaker 2: to say is that over the past four to five
- 41:45Speaker 2: days a lot of people were sick of the sight
- 41:48Speaker 2: of tractors. But we remember when we fucking love tractors town.
- 41:53Speaker 3: I won't lie here. I still love tractors. I have
- 41:56Speaker 3: a little I just have a little, litle potrack. I
- 41:58Speaker 3: wouldn't know many of the big, big fan see ones
- 42:00Speaker 3: that are there nowadays. Like I like, if you sat
- 42:03Speaker 3: me in a tractor right now, I go, oh jeez.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Well that's that's the thing. I mean. We are country
- 42:07Speaker 2: boys at heart. Now, Tom, you would have driven tractors.
- 42:09Speaker 2: You would have motorized about the place, done work with tractors.
- 42:13Speaker 2: For me, I was just a child on the farm
- 42:14Speaker 2: having a bit of crack, getting dragged around in the
- 42:17Speaker 2: hay sled behind a massy ferguson. But the tractors, we remember.
- 42:22Speaker 2: He had the tractors today, buddy, I mean very much
- 42:24Speaker 2: like we talked about the trucks a couple of weeks ago,
- 42:28Speaker 2: I wouldn't know what direction to face an attractor if
- 42:31Speaker 2: I sat in one right now. It's like the fucking
- 42:32Speaker 2: starship Enterprise.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Well it became. It seems to be drawn more and more.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Like I was practically ridiculed when I first started going
- 42:39Speaker 3: to living in cities and stuff like that, because it
- 42:41Speaker 3: was this world away from fox Sick. You fucking drove
- 42:46Speaker 3: a fucking tractor.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you think you get around fields?
- 42:50Speaker 3: Lads, and this is the whole day. I suppose you
- 42:52Speaker 3: went to the shops and the tractor. We're like, well,
- 42:54Speaker 3: if you had to, yeah, but they were completely missing
- 42:59Speaker 3: the point. And I think it is kind of coming
- 43:01Speaker 3: to light a bit more people have a bit more
- 43:02Speaker 3: appreciation of it, where it's like, oh, right, without the tractor,
- 43:07Speaker 3: we don't fucking eat tonight. Yeah, it's simple as you
- 43:11Speaker 3: know what I mean. So there was there was a
- 43:12Speaker 3: simpler time prior to tractors, but everybody had a simpler
- 43:15Speaker 3: way that there was a lot more people growing their
- 43:16Speaker 3: vegetables in and around even cities and whatnot. So you're like, yeah, yeah,
- 43:20Speaker 3: I would have a bit more appreciation for it. But
- 43:21Speaker 3: you're right, I said an attractor recently jar to move it.
- 43:26Speaker 3: I was told, would you moved? Absolutely? Pull up there,
- 43:30Speaker 3: and and I was in what in my mind frame,
- 43:34Speaker 3: I've been in tractors that were from should we say
- 43:36Speaker 3: the late nineties, even I'm like, oh, hold on, it's everything. Okay,
- 43:41Speaker 3: we have the steering wheel, we've got these pedals here, okay, but.
- 43:44Speaker 2: What the fuck?
- 43:45Speaker 3: There are two iPads, two iPads, no, three iPads, two joysticks,
- 43:50Speaker 3: and a whole fucking startup enterprise over my right shoulder here. Yeah,
- 43:55Speaker 3: so I'm just going, okay, where's the handbrake? Put it
- 44:01Speaker 3: in se tap it forward, and I mean I scutted
- 44:04Speaker 3: it around and I moved it.
- 44:06Speaker 2: It got moved.
- 44:07Speaker 3: But I don't fully fucking know how that even happened,
- 44:10Speaker 3: and like it.
- 44:10Speaker 2: Probably it probably just in tune that you wanted it.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Movement was like pulling forward fifty feet. Michael.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like shit, he even thinks my name is Michael.
- 44:21Speaker 3: Do you know what? I was proud of myself with
- 44:22Speaker 3: I instinctively and thankfully, the controls for lifting the front
- 44:27Speaker 3: loader are still the same, back left, back left, if
- 44:30Speaker 3: you know, six seven o'clock if you wanted to come up.
- 44:34Speaker 3: Thank fuck, it didn't look like I didn't drive forward
- 44:36Speaker 3: and just scraped the bucket along the concrete yeard.
- 44:39Speaker 2: Nobody had blamed either, though.
- 44:40Speaker 3: No.
- 44:41Speaker 2: I'll tell you that the tractors that I would have
- 44:43Speaker 2: encountered as a youth on various farms and things like
- 44:46Speaker 2: this time now were very very basic. And you know,
- 44:49Speaker 2: there was no two seats in attractor, So if you
- 44:51Speaker 2: were a child in attractor, you were just basically standing
- 44:54Speaker 2: as best you could in the limited space that was
- 44:56Speaker 2: behind the drive.
- 44:57Speaker 3: Well, if you had a narrow enough arse on some
- 44:58Speaker 3: of the tractors, you could kind of would you down
- 45:00Speaker 3: the side of it. There'll be a few, you know,
- 45:02Speaker 3: as we've referred to them on many occasions, a few
- 45:04Speaker 3: fertilizer bags thrown in. There is a bit of a cushion.
- 45:07Speaker 3: You can kind of squid yourself in there, a small
- 45:09Speaker 3: but but the Zetter Crystal Jar, I don't know if
- 45:11Speaker 3: you were ever up, was not still a noble tractor
- 45:14Speaker 3: to this day. Was one of the few tractors that
- 45:16Speaker 3: came with a passenger seat.
- 45:19Speaker 2: It was that a little like a little flap down
- 45:21Speaker 2: kind of yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah none, no,
- 45:24Speaker 2: uh no, as you say yourself, there, Tom, if you
- 45:26Speaker 2: had a narrow enough art, you could scooch down the back.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I did not. But I always remember about being an
- 45:35Speaker 2: attractor more so than being in a car, like anything
- 45:37Speaker 2: you did in a tractor, or anything that was done
- 45:40Speaker 2: in a tractor, changing gears, pressing the brake, pulling the handbrake,
- 45:46Speaker 2: you could feel that it had a very definite mechanical effect.
- 45:49Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 45:50Speaker 2: On on on the the engine of the of the
- 45:54Speaker 2: of the machine, like as you drive your car to day,
- 45:56Speaker 2: I'm not entirely certain that the gearbox of my car
- 45:58Speaker 2: is connected. When I get you, do you know what
- 46:01Speaker 2: I mean? I think it's just like a little stick
- 46:03Speaker 2: and it sends a signal to do something elsewhere. And
- 46:06Speaker 2: the steering wheel. But when you had a steering wheel
- 46:08Speaker 2: of a tractor, you felt that it was a metal
- 46:11Speaker 2: rod going to the wheels that turn left and right
- 46:14Speaker 2: as you as you as you wanted it.
- 46:16Speaker 3: I would nearly It's a really valid point you make,
- 46:19Speaker 3: because I would nearly start everybody driving an old tractor first,
- 46:24Speaker 3: because it'll give you a human, a bio a biometric
- 46:29Speaker 3: connection to the mechanics. Like Jerry said, you've got these
- 46:33Speaker 3: track rod ends that push the wheel. There's no power
- 46:35Speaker 3: steering in the old tractors. You're talking Jerry's talking about
- 46:37Speaker 3: an old Massy thirty five, yeah, or maybe a Massy
- 46:40Speaker 3: sixty five and these things. You know, if you're talking
- 46:44Speaker 3: about Ford four thousands for six thousand and seven thousands,
- 46:46Speaker 3: the kind of things that you see used to numbers.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Wasn't there a thirty one thirty or some.
- 46:50Speaker 3: Such that's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're getting into think
- 46:54Speaker 3: you might be getting too gen.
- 46:54Speaker 2: Deeer territory there. Yeah, but there were tractor fans of
- 46:58Speaker 2: Assault US in the con one.
- 47:00Speaker 3: The only time I've ever mentioned a tractor, and I
- 47:02Speaker 3: will tell you they it's it's actually lovely to see.
- 47:05Speaker 3: There's a lot of young guys. They they take big
- 47:09Speaker 3: pride in the the Fred Dibnes style. I think a
- 47:13Speaker 3: lot of young guys are getting into collecting the old attractors,
- 47:16Speaker 3: and I mean a Discovery Channel level of top to tail.
- 47:21Speaker 3: These lads aren't fucking fucking around. They are top to
- 47:25Speaker 3: see it to roof, from bottom to roof. They are
- 47:28Speaker 3: doing these things out and they're not going over the
- 47:30Speaker 3: top like you see some of the Indian lives. They
- 47:31Speaker 3: chrome the fucking exhaustpect theseus are staying legit, you know.
- 47:35Speaker 3: But the the big thing what Jerry's talking about is
- 47:39Speaker 3: with the feet, like every like there'd be a slowdown
- 47:42Speaker 3: when you clutch regardless on the old tractors, whereas in
- 47:46Speaker 3: your own car there's a there's a there's a period
- 47:50Speaker 3: between gear changes where you don't slow down. It just
- 47:52Speaker 3: coasts for a little millisecond and then you're into the
- 47:54Speaker 3: next gear. Whereas when you're driving it along and they
- 47:58Speaker 3: want of these trackers. There's that heavy clutch, and the
- 48:03Speaker 3: clutch you're dragging her into fucking top top sports or whatever,
- 48:07Speaker 3: and you're trucking aloud, but you feel every last thing.
- 48:11Speaker 3: And of course the seats made of fucking iron as well,
- 48:13Speaker 3: the real old ones, like the.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Real old ones. Yeah, talking about iron. Maybe on a
- 48:17Speaker 2: good day we have a bit of a spring on it, but.
- 48:20Speaker 3: Not not the track I started on a massy thirty
- 48:22Speaker 3: five in the field I have built the house. I mean,
- 48:27Speaker 3: that's how fucking I don't know what what is the
- 48:31Speaker 3: the come around? Fucking what is the word I'm looking
- 48:33Speaker 3: for there? You've said that, You've told me before.
- 48:34Speaker 2: But anyway, it's sunrise sunset.
- 48:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it comes to it. It does actually build in
- 48:41Speaker 3: a kind of understand against what the heck is happening.
- 48:45Speaker 3: But the level of responsibility you think lads are gonna
- 48:48Speaker 3: scot because that's of course whatever city friend of mine,
- 48:50Speaker 3: Oh you must be when a weird coming of an
- 48:54Speaker 3: age happens, when you get handed the keys to attract
- 48:56Speaker 3: and go get up that you're not being told to
- 48:58Speaker 3: go have fun in it. It's purely utility vehicle. You
- 49:02Speaker 3: really aren't going to the shops and it you're fucking not.
- 49:04Speaker 3: That's all for joking. It costs money the second you
- 49:07Speaker 3: start that bastard. Yeah, so you better put it to
- 49:10Speaker 3: fucking work immediately. And it's kind of weird thing, and
- 49:13Speaker 3: it happened to every young flying you. I think they're
- 49:16Speaker 3: gonna scut or you know, they're so excited, but the
- 49:19Speaker 3: excitement is still there. But you're like, oh, time to
- 49:22Speaker 3: be a man. Now, this is time to grow. And
- 49:24Speaker 3: I'm sure you know what I mean it it's time
- 49:27Speaker 3: to go to work. And you're going, well, I've got
- 49:29Speaker 3: this fucking thing. I gotta go to work. This is
- 49:31Speaker 3: working now. And you'd see kids putting in serious shifts
- 49:35Speaker 3: like they're they're some of the most reliable lads. You
- 49:38Speaker 3: can actually get the lads that are absolutely jug into
- 49:41Speaker 3: it because they take to it. There's a like I said,
- 49:43Speaker 3: a comment of age where we're like, oh, it was
- 49:45Speaker 3: a bit of a messer up until now. Now I've
- 49:47Speaker 3: got this fucking machine to fucking operate. It's time to
- 49:50Speaker 3: go the.
- 49:51Speaker 2: U now the tractor itself. I want to say this,
- 49:53Speaker 2: nog and I appreciate we've got a lot of city listeners.
- 49:56Speaker 2: We've got a lot of country listeners that have skipped
- 49:59Speaker 2: at the end of the podcast now like we fucking
- 50:00Speaker 2: a little bit tractors.
- 50:02Speaker 3: Guarantee they haven't. Anybody who loves the tractor will go
- 50:05Speaker 3: Martin moone has listening to this, right, Shout out by
- 50:07Speaker 3: the way, Martin Moon. He closed the show for Caleb
- 50:11Speaker 3: from class the other night and it was the most
- 50:15Speaker 3: unbranded moment, but of course hit the day if the
- 50:18Speaker 3: whole place went fucking bananas and we're clapping and so
- 50:22Speaker 3: shout out to friend of the.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Show, Friend of the show. Well, the thing with the
- 50:27Speaker 2: thing with the tractor is it's not a car, folks,
- 50:30Speaker 2: It's not something that you use to drive to the
- 50:32Speaker 2: other end of the field or like that. A tractor
- 50:35Speaker 2: is for all intents and purposes, like a portable power
- 50:38Speaker 2: machine to do something else. Okay, so at the back
- 50:44Speaker 2: of a of a tractor there, Hey, Tom, there was
- 50:48Speaker 2: I'm assuming there'll be some very today.
- 50:50Speaker 3: I know what you're going to say, There still is.
- 50:51Speaker 2: There's there's there's a shaft. There is a shaft. Damn right,
- 50:58Speaker 2: it is a PTO shaft. I'm basically what it is
- 51:00Speaker 2: is like a little as as the as the engine turns,
- 51:04Speaker 2: it also spins the shaft as well. So there's like
- 51:06Speaker 2: a little metal nub out the back at the tractor
- 51:09Speaker 2: that spins, and you can attach things onto that to
- 51:13Speaker 2: do whatever you want with it. You can attach a baylor.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Now your tractor will bail.
- 51:18Speaker 3: Hey.
- 51:19Speaker 2: You can attach a syllage cotter. Now your tractor will
- 51:22Speaker 2: cut scyllage. You can you know, you can attach a
- 51:25Speaker 2: cement mixer onto it. You can attach it's like a
- 51:27Speaker 2: kitchen aid mixer. You can just stick.
- 51:30Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 51:31Speaker 2: One thing.
- 51:32Speaker 3: One thing that you don't ever want to attach some
- 51:37Speaker 3: loose clothing or calm. There is every country person listened
- 51:42Speaker 3: to this knows a family member or a neighbor that
- 51:45Speaker 3: because this thing. PTO stands for Power Takeoff. Yes, and
- 51:50Speaker 3: it is the most unforgiving piece of machine. I'm sure
- 51:54Speaker 3: there's unforgiven piece of machineries and factories for a forgiven
- 51:58Speaker 3: piece of a quick that will there's not even a
- 52:03Speaker 3: hit the off button there, you know.
- 52:05Speaker 2: There's not like there's not a trigger or anything like that.
- 52:07Speaker 3: And I'm gonna I'm gonna reference Mark the combat again.
- 52:10Speaker 3: It will literally pull your head out along with your spine.
- 52:14Speaker 3: Out of your fucking body before the rest you even
- 52:16Speaker 3: hits the fucking deck. That's the speed and power of
- 52:19Speaker 3: these things.
- 52:20Speaker 2: You know, all these things that everybody was afraid of
- 52:23Speaker 2: in the eighties. Oh I was afraid of quicksand oh
- 52:25Speaker 2: I was afraid of this, that and the other.
- 52:27Speaker 3: No, we were afraid of the fucking shaft.
- 52:29Speaker 2: If you were out there and where we were sitting
- 52:31Speaker 2: on the tractor, as young as kids would be standing
- 52:34Speaker 2: sitting on the back of it, like you know, it
- 52:36Speaker 2: was always if you get out, never go out the
- 52:38Speaker 2: back through the window that wasn't there, put your foot
- 52:41Speaker 2: down onto the PTO shaft because that's like imagine if
- 52:45Speaker 2: a USB port could fucking kill you, what can you
- 52:52Speaker 2: can plug into this? I can plugin, I can plug.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I will pull your legs off.
- 52:57Speaker 3: The fancy, fancy bailer and stuff would have would have
- 53:00Speaker 3: a cover so it would go over the shafts that
- 53:03Speaker 3: would come up off this thing. And for all the world,
- 53:05Speaker 3: if you imagine a three inch plastic pipe that just
- 53:07Speaker 3: comes exactly bubbled around loosely around the thing, but at
- 53:11Speaker 3: least it didn't spin with the ferocity of this fucking thing.
- 53:14Speaker 3: It just kind of bubbled around. It gave chan, gave
- 53:17Speaker 3: you can fighting chance. They were absolutely and I was
- 53:20Speaker 3: only looking at a guy. He would believe it. During
- 53:24Speaker 3: the crisis and everything. They just delivered some veterl to
- 53:27Speaker 3: the petrol station up the road and he can fly
- 53:29Speaker 3: down the road in his tractor lawnmower. Well never I
- 53:34Speaker 3: never had much interest in him or whatever, but never
- 53:36Speaker 3: was I more envious when I saw this one jar.
- 53:39Speaker 3: It was a tractor lawnmow, fuel driven, of course, but
- 53:42Speaker 3: it had a PTO shaft on the back. This will
- 53:46Speaker 3: tell you this is a great question to do what
- 53:49Speaker 3: because I went here, Ice, that's a lovely bit of
- 53:51Speaker 3: kit because it looked maybe mid nineties, but in good condition.
- 53:55Speaker 3: It was I just got it their recently is is
- 53:57Speaker 3: I did a relative die? We found it in the garage.
- 54:00Speaker 3: He'd done a fucking one hundred hours, isn't somebody kid?
- 54:03Speaker 3: I went, look, do you know you have a PTO
- 54:05Speaker 3: shaft on the back. You just get a fuck And
- 54:08Speaker 3: he walked around. Well you want to see his eyes
- 54:11Speaker 3: light up with how many objects and devices He was
- 54:15Speaker 3: thinking block splitters, he was thinking, you could just see
- 54:20Speaker 3: him because I could get a set of lifting arms
- 54:22Speaker 3: put in the back of his I said, don't think
- 54:23Speaker 3: it has a hydraulic outu it. Well, why would we
- 54:25Speaker 3: stop when we have a PTO shaft? And I nearly
- 54:27Speaker 3: wanted to go home with him to draw some deads
- 54:31Speaker 3: were going to do for his I didn't even know
- 54:33Speaker 3: the man, don't even know him.
- 54:36Speaker 2: Stranger is just a friend, you didn't know who has
- 54:39Speaker 2: a lovely little tract a.
- 54:40Speaker 3: Lovely little tractor. But there's the first one that I drove,
- 54:45Speaker 3: we'll call it for a job, was a Kobota and
- 54:48Speaker 3: they're a Japanese mini tractor and they're perfect for going
- 54:52Speaker 3: through lines. I worked in a big, big nursery farm
- 54:54Speaker 3: when I was thirteen, huge fucking place, and but they
- 54:58Speaker 3: were They made him primarily for being able to drive
- 55:00Speaker 3: through these things. Now I was immediately hooked. I pottered
- 55:03Speaker 3: around tractors before that, before, but you were never really
- 55:06Speaker 3: going to get a summer job. Following summer, I end
- 55:09Speaker 3: up drawing siledg and don't hay and stuff like that,
- 55:12Speaker 3: and it's like, well, this is me for the rest
- 55:15Speaker 3: of my life. I had school, not being involved at
- 55:18Speaker 3: all or any influence or anything at all, then I
- 55:21Speaker 3: would have been happy in that moment because.
- 55:22Speaker 2: I'm not worker.
- 55:22Speaker 3: What's better than this? What's better than this moment in life?
- 55:28Speaker 3: Driving around my coat of the barbarian fucking helmet on?
- 55:31Speaker 3: But it was a.
- 55:32Speaker 2: Tractor called again, yeah, what's the call?
- 55:35Speaker 3: The cabota yah combota, the barb the barbarian. I think.
- 55:41Speaker 3: I think the tractor I got was a John Deere
- 55:43Speaker 3: for drawing siledge. And it was like that. It was
- 55:45Speaker 3: like a thirty one thirty or something like that. It
- 55:47Speaker 3: was yeah, but I could immediately what it did for
- 55:51Speaker 3: me was it made a bloke of you. Now, all
- 55:55Speaker 3: of a sudden, the grown men who are in their
- 55:57Speaker 3: thirties and forties are doing the same job, and then
- 56:00Speaker 3: give you the same respect because you're working the same
- 56:02Speaker 3: hours they are. Now. The only thing is you don't
- 56:06Speaker 3: quite get the same respect from the farmer's wife because
- 56:08Speaker 3: these lads were all getting fine fucking dinners for some
- 56:10Speaker 3: reason when I was like fifteen, because I wouldn't have
- 56:13Speaker 3: the licensing to take it up. But we were going
- 56:16Speaker 3: on to farms that were so big the tractor could
- 56:18Speaker 3: be brought their far me, like you know, and I
- 56:20Speaker 3: wouldn't work every day farm. I was working on it
- 56:22Speaker 3: but for some reason, the farmer's wife always just gave
- 56:26Speaker 3: me like a fucking scone and a sandwich. I'm like,
- 56:29Speaker 3: I'm actually the one growing here. These fucks don't need
- 56:33Speaker 3: half the fuck galleries I need right now, and I'm
- 56:35Speaker 3: going for sixteen hours today like you know so. But
- 56:38Speaker 3: the great thing was it makes a fucking adult have you.
- 56:41Speaker 3: And you could see if any of the girls that
- 56:43Speaker 3: were driving to they were seventeen eighteen year old women,
- 56:46Speaker 3: I should work like there may have been forty year
- 56:48Speaker 3: old blokes, do you know what I mean? Because they'd
- 56:50Speaker 3: heard all this shit, they were doing a real job
- 56:52Speaker 3: that was making people money. Do you know what I mean?
- 56:55Speaker 3: This wasn't some Maria. Isn't he great? He's doing three
- 56:58Speaker 3: hours of the weekend now, he watered the flowers. He's
- 57:00Speaker 3: the best buy ever. He's gone around to all his
- 57:04Speaker 3: his parents, his friend's parents, and he's you know, he's
- 57:07Speaker 3: cleaning the windows. And you're like, okay, all right, but
- 57:09Speaker 3: let's be honest, this is really this is big boy ship.
- 57:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna machine that could kill me and you.
- 57:14Speaker 3: Lady exactly exactly. Put aside from that, you're making fucking
- 57:18Speaker 3: money for everybody. You know you're making a fucking livelihood
- 57:22Speaker 3: for the farmers that's booked you for this gear. And
- 57:25Speaker 3: let's be honest, you're up in the cool motherfucking monster truck.
- 57:31Speaker 2: You enjoy breaking rocks.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is this was you can see the joy?
- 57:36Speaker 2: Why still?
- 57:37Speaker 3: I remember one and only time I mentioned tractor driving,
- 57:40Speaker 3: and I've forgotten people's passion for it. I had subbed
- 57:44Speaker 3: in on the two Johnny Show many years ago, Yes,
- 57:48Speaker 3: and a quick fire question was going this. You know
- 57:51Speaker 3: what's your favorite? This? I got what's your favorite tractor
- 57:53Speaker 3: of all time? Just thrown out there from one of
- 57:55Speaker 3: the listeners questions. I said, the fort w thirty five
- 58:00Speaker 3: had googled. The other guy, Johnny looked, googly, Oh class
- 58:04Speaker 3: cool tractor, A bit of a jim jab. That was it?
- 58:06Speaker 3: That was the clip. Well fuck me, I mean I

- 58:35Speaker 2: The discerning man's tractor. Well, like we want to say, folks,
- 58:38Speaker 2: there was a lot of disruption in the nation over
- 58:41Speaker 2: the last week, and who's to say it hasn't all
- 58:44Speaker 2: flared up back again by the time thay. Hopefully everybody
- 58:49Speaker 2: ah doesn't do that.
- 58:53Speaker 3: The overriding thing that I got. They just want a
- 58:56Speaker 3: resolution to get this job to get there, especially with
- 58:59Speaker 3: the summer coming.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Ger.
- 59:00Speaker 3: If we can't get the stup off the fucking ground,
- 59:03Speaker 3: I can't tell you how fucked we are as a nation.
- 59:05Speaker 3: I don't care about big take enfromat If stuff don't
- 59:08Speaker 3: come up off the fucking ground this year, we're in trouble.

- 1:02:24Speaker 2: a little video of myself getting ready to model on,
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: saying any questions of model on And I did get
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: slagged for wearing safety glasses.
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: So no, I mean, did you wear safet glasses? You
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: were clearly that was the fucking that was if ever
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: you were baiting people, Jared, nobody wears fucking God, it
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: was cutting the lawn.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I guess I can just cross

- 1:02:48Speaker 3: Called squint like a fucking man.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Anyway, it's burned Dylan to ask me. Obviously, he's kind
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: of thinking, well, the jerry knows his way around the garden.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: He asks any tips from most in a law. He's
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: after buying a house and the gardens are in a hip.
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: This afternoon, dling, while I was mowing my lan, I
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: made it a plan for the summer to buy a
