  Speaker 1: Hello. Well now, I've been listening to the two lads
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and getting a bit of an education, I don't mind you.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: That's right, it's about kitchen appliances and the great ones
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: down through the years. I won't pretend to know much
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: about kitchen appliances, that was always Mrs Dibner's department. I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: do remember one time she asked me to fix a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: kitchen aid. I hooked up a bloody great steam pump
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and a thrashing belt to it. Thought it looked proper smart.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Only one problem. Too much power blew the bloody thing
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: through the roof and ended up on the Huddersfield Road.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Not me finest fix, but then again, know your strengths.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'll leave the kitchen bits to the boys and Mrs. Dibner.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'll see you there.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Recording in progress of this week's episode of the Tom
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and Jerry Show, and I hope I sound a wee
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: bit better this week, Tom.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it Yes, and to be fair, my stupid-ass old
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: ears didn't hear you last week until I got to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the editing suite. And I went, eh, Jerry sounds like
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: he's a bit, hello, Jerry's coming over the hill. Why
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is he so fucking echoey?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Turns out, we had no complaints at least from the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: listeners of the Tom and Jerry show. I had audio
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: issues last week, didn't know anything about it. I'm talking
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: audio issues, folks, nothing to do with me or the content.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That was all superb.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Golden. Oh yeah, nothing but net. But yeah, I've connected
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the thing. Or maybe I haven't.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Let's wait till this episode comes out, Tom. Maybe it
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sounds fucking bad again. Two dipshits just going, I think
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we sound great right now. We could be recording into
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: our fucking hands. Yeah, no, to me anyway, you sound lovely, Ger.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Tom. And it's lovely to talk to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you as well. And it's lovely to talk to the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: listeners of the Tom and Gerry show, which this is.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm Gerry McBride. That's Tom O'Mahony. Technical Experts.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: No, Ger, fucking far from it. And a lot of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people felt sorry for me on my computer. Although, do
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you know what? I kept on getting messages about the keyboard.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The French keyboard. How did you get one so cheap?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, don't mind my cheapness. I got it so
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: cheap because it's not even meant for this country. That's how.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Somebody was like, do you have to give 50 euros
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: for one there one day? I'm like, yeah, that's what
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I should have done. Do you not get the point
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the fucking story?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: When the letters were in the right place.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I gave 16 quid for some hokey heap of shit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That got fucking... The buttons got put in all the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: wrong places, but it works in France. So, for heed,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: for anybody wondering, don't go looking for a € 16 fucking
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: keyboard for your Mac. Get the € 50 one. Christ, I love.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You know, Tom, you could fix that by pulling all
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the letters off and sticking them back on in the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: right place, but that'd be like me when I was small,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: thinking I could solve a Rubik's Cube by pulling the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: faces off and sticking them back on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Do you think I didn't get the flat-out screwdriver out
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of the situation and then realised, oh, wait, there's actually...
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they're not where they're even, the buttons aren't even where
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to, you know, they're not where they are,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. There's no stopping out.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You gotta love, you gotta love there's one, at least
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: one listener going like, and we love all our listeners,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but there's one nerd out there going like, actually, you
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: can remap your keyboard to be whatever you want.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, please. No, because I, the trifle we're
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on the internet. I have to, I still every so
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: often have to look down. I'm just saying. I could
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be writing an email and flying it for a good
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: three lines, but I will still, well, I'll get to restaurant. Jer. Yes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I have to write the word restaurant.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Every now and then it just, yeah. You get to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: epitome and you're like, oh, hang on a wee second.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Although, if anyone wants to go to my Instagram today,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I found one, a situation, we had to cut through
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a little cul-de-sac in our local town that I hadn't
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: been in years. I went, oh, this is a handy
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: way to go. And there's this, there's a building site
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and you got to go find this chair. It's, I couldn't,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I double looked and Natasha spotted it. She goes, enter rents?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I went, what? What are you, am I seeing what,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and the two of us, I stopped the car and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I went, am I reading? She goes, yeah, Tom, it
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: says enter rents. So instead of entrance, they've written enter
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and ants.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: This is, this is the world I feel of AI science, Tom.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to see an awful lot of this for
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: five years.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And it's 50 meters. And then I get to the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: front door and I go, surely the front, front gate
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of the site will have entrance on it. Nope. A
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: huge font, nine inch letters, interents. This is, this is,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: this can't be allowed. So I took it, I had
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to take a video of it for our people. So yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that brought me joy over the weekend. But I'm like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at what point somebody on site has to go, no.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Or are we at a stage now where it's just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: all Polish lads just going, don't kill.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's honestly, you know, Polish lads or AI take a pick.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I was in a supermarket the other day and there
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was like at the butchers, there was like a big
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: fucking banner up for meal deals and shit like this.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And in big letters, did you checked our deals?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Checked?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Did you checked our deals? Who are you fucking telling
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: me here? Did you checked our deals?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: God, there's so many issues in that. Like it's just, Like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: there's layers in that. Like, isn't there just layers?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Even if you got what you were going for and said,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: did you check our deals? And I'd be like, no.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: This is the first I'm hearing of them.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's a pure copy. Yeah. Did you check?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Did you check our deals?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Just this fucking second learning about them. Get out of here. Anyway,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that's the kind of malfeasance you won't find on the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry show. Even though last week we admitted
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that we put out an episode that you could barely
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: hear me on. So there's a bit of it to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: go around, but we... are going to make this week's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: episode double better.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Super good.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Fucking super extra good. Starting, as we always do start, Tom,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: with the weekly what have you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This is a very complicated case, Maude.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of ins, a lot of outs,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of what have yous, and a lot of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: strands to keep in my head, man.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Tom, are you choosing Texas, my man? I'm choosing Texas.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't know I'd chosen Texas, Gerard.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Apparently the world has chosen Texas. I was not there
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: when people were, did you choose Texas?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Have you enterent Texas?
• 6:22

• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in United States history. Spending 23 non-consecutive, that's important, non-consecutive
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: weeks on top. The previous number one holder being Mariah
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Carey's All I Want for Christmas. Tom, that's a hell
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of a run for a song that I heard for
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the first time last week.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: No, I heard this song on Spotify. It came on
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a shuffle. You know, this kind
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of way. And I went, Immediately I thought it was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Some old one I won't lie From way back in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the day She's now one now But I thought it
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was her singing like Just let's She you know Her
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: debut Her debut song was Delta Dawn And then she
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: sings Choose in Texas Cause I heard it and went
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Okay That's a Yeah That's a That kind of song
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's a bit country It's a bit folky But it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: sounds like Kind of an oldie worldie sound to it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Not bad I'll let it play But when like the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: choosing Texas I'm like that's one cliche hokey on the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: nose name like isn't it you know it's like oh
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus you know what I gotta boot scooting and fucking
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: choosing Texas choosing.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Texas I gotta tell you like for a country song
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: choosing Texas is it's unbrief Tom I gotta tell you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: there's like there's very little.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Fat on that very little fat like you if you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: can get Stetsons in there somewhere but I don't think
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it even needs it it's all there.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: It's all there it's all there It's like they spun
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: two wheels to make a two-word country song.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: They spun one, it's like....
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Choosing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: What am I choosing? And it's like... Boots, trucks, car, dogs, guns, Texas.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Boom, there you go. Automatically endorsed. Ella Langley is a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: young lady. I, again, wouldn't have been able to pick
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: her up out of a line-up, Tom. And it wasn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: like you. I didn't fall across this on the Spotify
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: shuffler or on the radio or anything like that. It
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: was my wife turned around and we go, have you
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: heard of this song? It's... Spending 22 weeks at number one,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: it's about to hit 23. And it was brought to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: me in that regard. So it kind of got brought
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to me secondhand as it had achieved a feat rather
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: than a song that just I happened across. And we
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: normally say we remember when for later in the show.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But for this one, given that it's current affairs, I'm
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: just going to tell you, Tom, I don't fucking understand
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: how a song gets to be number one anymore.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a handful of, I mean, there's a recipe
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to everything. You know what I mean?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Obviously, there's... You could argue it's a shite song. You
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: could argue it's a great song. That's the thing about music.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The quality of it is neither here nor there, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: don't think. It's neither here nor there. It really isn't. Now,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: there is... There are rules if you want to kind
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of give yourself the best chance. Like, there's an algorithm
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to all these things. Of course. But there's an algorithm to...
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: pushing comedy too you know that kind of way you're
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: like what are they joking about right now are they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the dynamic the you know are they what we're looking
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: for right now you know whatever going about them so
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: this girl has it all like she is the poster
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: girl American right now southern America you know She's got
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: dark hair. She looks like she might be a touch
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: from below the border, but she's definitely from Texas, which
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is the biggest state, and that's got to have a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: swing of things. You're like, hmm.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Got an arm full of tattoos as well, Tom, which
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: is not in keeping with country, or it wasn't back
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: 20 years ago. Now you've got guys like fucking Jelly
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Roll with tattoos all over his face, and these are
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: big huge star so tattoos and i guess i neither
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: heard there but i did notice it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It's it's but it's almost like they put her into
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: ai do you get me to and out came the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: other end this girl that looks and sounds sounds brilliant
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: like she's a great singer comes out the other end Now,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I have known nothing about the girl, and I'm sure
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'll be told, she's been on the go for 30 years, Tom. Okay, fine.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But she doesn't look it. No. It looks to me
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: like she was packaged in a recording, you know, in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a production house. Anyway, what do we need behind this girl?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So we need a song, obviously, that has a hook,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: very fast hook from the get-go. It's got to go
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in a tempo of four and four. So that's the tempo.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It's just real easy, repetitive tempo. you know, it's rolling, it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Rolls through your ears. Harmless to listen to.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Like, it ain't, it isn't Leonard Cohen, you know what
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like, which is, you know, there's blood coming
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: out of the fucking speakers with that cunt, like, you know, so, it's,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: if you can get, if you can get it in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that tempo with a nice hook for short attention spans,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: gets to the chorus nice and quick, it's got some, like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Beyonce tried this and made a complete fucking bollocks of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it with her Texas one. Yes. You know, and she
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: made a complete and utter Fucking dog's dinner of it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But she I completely missed that time To be honest
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: with you She was like No I seen it I
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: just I opted out of it I was.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Like Yeah Go with you It was beyond terrible But
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of course They left Beyonce half Because they're like Look
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: everybody's allowed to fumble And we love Beyonce So we'll
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: listen to it And we'll play it It was the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: worst sack of shit That has ever come out But
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: she tried to dip her toe In the The country
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: world And we've This wouldn't have worked Five years ago
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: This song But we're in the you know, reanimation of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: country music at the minute, as we talked about before.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Gar Brooks, for fuck's sake, is back out on the road,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: for Christ's sake. He's brought the plexiglass box with him.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody's having a fucking... Brooksmobile. Everybody's hanging off the Yellowstone
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: wagon and the likes of Luke... Everybody's wearing Carhartt.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: We talked about Carhartt fucking four years ago.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Tom and Jerry show got one year. All that to say, Tom,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not saying anything that wasn't how songs.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: pop songs, popular songs, popular artists get packaged and pushed
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: throughout life. I mean to say, how is this number
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: one if nobody is buying a thing? Nobody buys a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: physical CD anymore.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It's just all Spotify. It's all Spotify.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So it's basically whatever's streaming on Spotify.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's literally... And Apple Music as well, I'm sure.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And Apple Music probably has more credence, I guess, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of a... They give you a set number,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: 1 to 100 in Apple Music. You know what I mean? Gotcha.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Where Spotify is just like, well, here's one billion and one.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see who fucking passes it out. You know what
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean? Right. So, you have, right now, some of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the biggest, like the likes of Luke Combs. What do
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you call that other doofus there played in Ireland there
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this summer?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: What do you call him? It's Lane.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Zach Bryan. Zach Bryan. And there's another guy then. He's huge.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Last Night is his big song and it's into the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: billions now, the streams. But, What this, what they did
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: with this one really, really kind of, I won't say
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: grow my gears, but it kind of, Jesus Christ, like
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they went to fucking town on the music video. So
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the music video is damn near an episode of a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: TV show. Like it's seven and a half minutes long.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: There's a whole lead in. This woman, Ella, is sitting
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in the passenger seat of a truck.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: But of course.

• 13:38
  Speaker 1: back of it. They're dragging it in through. fences and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: stuff like that and they're pulling up to an old

• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, like, and I don't like the profile, Tom,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: but it certainly seems that this leans into a certain
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: political demographic.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah. It would definitely, if it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: isn't political, it's at the very least they're leaning towards
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a certain, they're codding a load of people because everybody
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: sitting around the fucking table is a millionaire, by the way.
• 15:52

  Speaker 1: it They wouldn't fucking piss on you If you were
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: on a blazing fire But it's just cheesily put together
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and it's packaged. It's just like, let's put a nice
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: little box and a bow on this and choose in Texas.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And off it goes down, down. And all they do
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: every time it slows down, they start a new TikTok account.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: They'll get somebody like fucking Blake fucking Langley or some
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: name like that going, I really like this song. Shutting Behrman.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: These are the names. The third.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And it'll just drive, it'll drive it on down the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: road again and they'll allow it to be soundtracked on
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: all sorts of things with TikTok, you know, Instagram, Snapchat,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: all of these will just keep, so this was really
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a product of its time too, albeit it harps back
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to this song has been sang a thousand times, like,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? I'm pretty sure Randy
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Travis had something that sounded very fucking similar to this.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: When I heard it, I went, Oh, or he duetted
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: with somebody that sounded very similar to this. Like, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: bet if I throw it into Shazam and go, give
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: me options.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I bet you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Give me your top five.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe they have it shut down. I don't know. But
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it's got all the, it's got all the things that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: would make a number one right now, Ger. But it
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: won't in a year's time. And I wouldn't have two years,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: three years ago. Do you get me? So it seems to.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Me as well that the actual listenership of this, regardless
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of whether it's, You know, I get that nobody's walking
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: into Golden Discs and buying Shoes in Texas on a
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: CD single the way that fucking God intended.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like it's based on a lot of
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: people not necessarily listening to it by choice.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: It's not like sit down and play Shoes in Texas again.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Just the algorithm is serving it to you enough.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Times to keep it on top of the charts for
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: 23 weeks.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: It has to be a bit column A and column B.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So you don't want anything just, I guess it's just
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: captured the imaginations And you're like, you know what? Let's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: throw it on the background.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I was here for Gangnam Style. I know what you're
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: talking about, baby.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Gangster's Paradise. You know what I mean? You
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: throw it on the background because it is the thing.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But every streaming, like you can say, like there's no
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: doubt going out to buy a physical thing, but that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore. You know what I mean? It's not
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a thing anymore. It's not a thing anymore. So all
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you could do now is sell ad time. And I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: guess like Spotify is the Netflix of music, you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and podcasts. And so all you can really do is,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I hope that she gets, which I mean, she's going
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to get fucking a 1,000th of a penny for every stream. So,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: if you're getting into the billions, you're doing all right, like.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: You're doing all right.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And that's just how it's measured nowadays. And she will
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: get appearance fees. She's going to be on the, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the CMAs. Not at all. She'd be the finest.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go. It's the odd world of music
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: these days, folks. We said we'd just Give a little
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: tip of the cap there to old Ella Langley. We're
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: at 23 weeks in the Hot 100, Tom. Maybe you'll
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: be 24 by the time this episode comes out. But
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: we wish her well. Fair play to her.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, that we could replicate her success, Tom.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: But regardless of her, now we're going to tip on
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: another wee bit with the rest of the show. Enough
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: about that, lady. It's time for this lad.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Now there's that guy. You crowbarred that like a motherfucker,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: didn't you? You didn't even try and do a segue there.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, will I... I was like, will I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: launch into a spiel here? And it's like, every now
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and then you just don't launch into a spiel.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I just saw a wedge in one hand and the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: back of your hatchet in the other and you just went,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: fuck this, I'm not even... I'm not even making a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: second cut with the chainsaw I'm just going to drive
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this fucking thing in here and hope we can crowbar
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: in this lad into this critter.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Hell or high water we're doing this so Tom yeah
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: for no particular reason here every week for those that
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: aren't familiar with the show every week we choose this
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: lad and it could be this lad this lady This
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: anonymous carbon rod, whatever it was that just kind of
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: popped up between myself and Tom that we said we
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: would comment upon. Every now and then as well, Tom,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: this lad is not a current affairs piece. It'll be, hey,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: do you remember this lad? You know, we'll just throw
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: it back to something that happened and just bring this
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: lad to the fine listenership of the Tom and Gerry show.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: And there's no harm at all, Tom, because sometimes things
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: aren't celebrated and we like to kind of just pull
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: back the old duvet the crusty duvet of history every
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: so often because there's people that weren't being maybe put
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: up on a bit of a pedestal, you know, like
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we hid the mosquito that bit Cromwell.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, yes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: We had the voice of Bambi a couple of weeks ago,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you know. So why not? Why not dip back into
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a bit of Irish history all the way back to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: 1984 when we were only, as Gerry would say, gossans.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Only gossans.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: So the story we're about to recall to you here, folks,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it must be said, We just decided to tell it
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: this week for no particular reason. No reason. Whatsoever.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It just seemed right to tell this story.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Don't know why this cropped up at all, Tom.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Felt right. Just felt right. Just felt right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And it's the story of a strike that took place
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: in Dunn stores in 1984. Now, if you're living in Ireland,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: you've probably heard some version of this story before. I
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: was very, very small when it happened, 1984, so I
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: would have been only about four. And this thing rolled
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: on for quite some time, so it would have been
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: in the news from four to seven when I was small.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I wasn't watching the news at the time. But as
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I reach back into my memory, don't want to get, again,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: another segment where we don't want to go, we remember when,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: but bits of it is there. I just never really
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: felt like I knew the whole story, but I was
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: by and large aware that this was a strike that
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: took place in Dunn's store's In 1984. Kicked off.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: By one lady. One lady in particular.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: On 19th of July.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: 1984.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: A 21 year old. Shop worker in Dunn's. Called Mary Manning.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: This lad.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: For the week Tom. Mary Manning. In the Henry Street outlet.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Which is still there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Which is still there. Of Dunn's stores.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Refused to.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Beep through. A grapefruit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Two grapefruits. It was two grapefruits. Two grapefruits. Yes.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Which had been imported from South Africa. You know, we
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: have one or two young listeners of the Tom and
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Jerry show, we might not be all that up to
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: speed with that, but South African government were not well
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: liked at the time worldwide on account of a system
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: of apartheid that they had put into place in the nation.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: This was a place where some shit was going down.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Awful human rights oppression, awful violence, just a fucking sucky
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: time to be black in South Africa. But that didn't
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: stop South African fruit being exported all the way around
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the world, even to as far away as Ireland. So
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: somebody walked in to buy two grapefruits and Mary Manning decided, no, actually,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you know, at the advice of my union, we are
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: not going to handle fruit from South Africa. So in
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: actual fact, no, thank you. Why don't you just go
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: put them back on the shelf?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And I love this. I love the stones it took.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to sit there and go, no, I'm not for this. Immediately,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: do you know what? I'll come back around to this
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: in a bit because I have a bit of a,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a bit of trivia for you here. And I'm going
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to ask you a question, see if you can make
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the link because you're quite good at making links.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Let me see what I can do, yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But before all that, management swooped in. Now Dunn's would
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: have always been a decent, it'd be a middle, it'd
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: be the, how can we say? I suppose it'd be the,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: be better than a like it'd be upper to mid
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: range shop you know what I mean.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It'd be the Sainsbury's of Ireland shall we say there
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: we go right it ain't Marks and Spencer's but it
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: ain't fucking you know Aldi no.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So it's a decent shop but immediately management let me.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Put it to you like this Dunn's is a place
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: where in Ireland where you could get grapefruits in 1984 yes.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah there you go Now, to be fair, I'm
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: sure if she went down as far as Moore Street,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: just across O'Connell Street there, she probably would have gotten
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: her hands on a few grapefruits. But either way, whoever
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: was buying these things got refused and within minutes, Mary
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: was suspended on the spot. Yeah. But lo and behold,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: within minutes, Karen Gearn and nine others, I suppose, yeah, sorry,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: there'd be eight others, Karen Gearn, she was a shop
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: steward as well, aged between 70 to 24. So these
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: weren't old, crusty, old, hard ones.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: These were young women who obviously had a... It stuck
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: in their craw what was going on. And it's not
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: like we would have had heavy coverage. There was only
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the odd telly in the odd house in 1984. Not
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: every house had a decent... Practically, they all did at
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: this stage. But you weren't getting bombarded with wall-to-wall social
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: media coverage on a device in your pocket. So you
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: would have only... And there was only about four black
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: people even in Ireland in 1984.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Honest to God.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So to actually have felt anything for them, I suppose
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the Irish would have been perfectly placed because it would
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have been not too far from where that shop is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: About 60 years previous, quite a fucking hellfire happened.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Bit of an L kickoff in Ireland as we know
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: what it is to be oppressed in this country, Tom.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit of a set two for our own
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: version of apartheid. We were able to get our freedom, so.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I do like, I mean.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I do want to take a minute, Tom, just sorry,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to note the scene that must be in a shop
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: where somebody's there fucking running or shopping through and it
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: gets to the grapefruit. Mary says, no. All right. Okay, Karen,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you bring these through here. Karen says, no. And they're like,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I just, I'm just trying to buy two grapefruits and
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: fuck off. It's like, it was all the same. You
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: gotta be, I have to say that that had to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: be a wagon there when it was fused by two
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: young ladies to bring through two grapefruits. Still said, I
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: need to see the manager. with a queue backing up
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: behind them, instead of just saying, actually, you know what, yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you're right, I'll fuck these two grapefruits back on the shelf. So, yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: What sort of a weapon was fucking trying to buy grapefruits?
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And by the way.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: We've always been there. By the way, where's.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: The fucking oceans? Where's the fucking oceans? You're going with
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: two grapefruits. You know what, hey, people deserve nice things,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I guess, I suppose. They wanted to buy grapefruits. Fucking
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Henry Street.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Relax.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Relax.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: It must be said as well, so... Mary was suspended,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: as was Karen. And, you know, Tom, when it comes
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to protests, whenever they happen, people are always kind of
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: asked to put their money where their mouth is when
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: it comes to these things. In particular, Mary here, 21-year-old
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: shop worker, in 1984 in Ireland. It wasn't like, you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: those jobs fucking tick on the ground. So if ever, like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you should be glad you have a job to go to,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: would have kicked in. It would have been here. But no,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Mary was like, actually, do you know what? The vice
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of my union and the vice of my conscience, fuck
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you and your grapefruits. So herself and Karen went on
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: strike and.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: They were joined. This wasn't a two-week affair either. Oh, no, no, no.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: A little flesh in the pan.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Not at all. They were joined by a list of people.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to rattle these out here, Tom. Liz Deasy,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Michelle Gavin, Vonnie Munro, Alma Russell, Tommy Davies, Sandra Griffin,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Teresa Mooney, Catherine O'Reilly, and Brendan Barron. Look at that there.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: So they all went on strike. And that, by and large, Tom,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: you would have thought, would be that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: This, I mean, it took three years. Three years. April
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: 1987 is when this came back around. And And they
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: were picketing and people were giving them shit and stuff
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: like that. And there was a lot of pressure from
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: store management. They were getting no money. But fuck me,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: they dug their heels into the fucking mud and the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: ground and went, no, we're not going backwards on this.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It's fucking wrong what's going on.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: It's wrong and it is wrong. And it caught the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: attention of a couple of people. It caught the attention
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: of a South African labour leader called Nimrod Sejake. And
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: he just kind of Related to a pal of his.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Called Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Stopped off in Dublin. When he
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: was on his way up. To get the Nobel Peace
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Prize in Oslo.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: To meet the strikers.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: On Henry Street. This is starting to become a bit.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: This is one lady won't sell a grapefruit. And all
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: of a sudden you have Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Swinging by
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to say it's alright there. Who.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Who. was able to relay all of this to none
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: other than Mr. Nelson Mandela. Jesus Christ. Imagine Mary, 21. Nope,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: no grapefruits. And you can find the through line straight
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: from Mary to Nelson Mandela. And not just from Mary
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to Nelson Mandela.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: They weren't just saying, oh yeah, well done, and on
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: you go about your business. It made noise. It made
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so much noise, Tom, that one lady refusing to sell
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: two grapefruits in Henry Street led to the Irish government
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: banning the importation of South African goods. Fucking.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Wholesale.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Nothing from South Africa comes to Ireland from this point out.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Based solely on public pressure of people that could see
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: this was wrong, that these people were standing up for it,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and that, you know, there's a better way to conduct business.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: And lo and behold, the... the action led to the
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: first complete ban of South African imports by a Western government.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Tom, that's the goal. That's... It just goes to show,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: if you're right and just, and you have the fucking...
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: You have the fucking minerals, as they'd say.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: You got the minerals.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You got the fucking minerals, Tommy. To dig in. Dig
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: your heels into the mud and go, nope, ain't going backwards.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Somebody's... public will start to fucking, they'll start to come
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: on side eventually. If you can dig in three years,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that's in like a fuck.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Three years it took.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: That is some Vietnam level in like a tick. We
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: ain't fucking backing up on this. To the point, as
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you said, like Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela found out about
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the Irish government.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Nelson Mandela met them when he visited Dublin to get
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the freedom of the city in the 90s.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, yeah. But for, then put a blanket
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: ban on everything coming from a country that was carrying
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: out horrific human rights atrocities yeah you know it was
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: right and just for him to do it and what
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a feeling of of i suppose accomplishment at the very
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: end of it you're right yeah we fucking yeah we were.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: You know what all along it was it sucked it
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: cost me a lot it was a lot of pain
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and hardship and you rest assured now mary every time
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: she was going home she might be met with people
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: going like actually mary whichever fucking wise yourself up and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: get back on the tails they are It was an
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: easy way out for her. She could just turn around
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and go, actually, do you know what? Fuck South Africa.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Bring me a trolley full of great proofs. I'll scan
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: them all.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I'll scan them all.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: But she had nothing to lose and was willing to
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: lose it all, Tom. And I don't know why this
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: week in particular on the Tom and Jerry show, we
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: mentioned it here. But you know what? We mentioned it
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: all the same.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: It felt right, Chair.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Some days these stories just bounce their way over to you.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Well, do you know what? It comes, I won't say
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: it comes naturally to the Irish, but we have a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: history of it and hidden in a sentence that you
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: used is the reason why we should have a natural
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: propensity for this kind of stuff. The word boycott. Do
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you know where boycott comes from?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's... Go on, tell him. Tell him, Tom.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: He was Lord Boycott over a male who was a thundercunt.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: as you can imagine with a name like Lord Boycott
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: he yeah basically he pulled fast ones I think he
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: turfed out a bunch of his tenant farmers cranked up
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the rents was a cunt right up there with fucking
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Trevelyan so everybody within the surrounding fucking parishes completely refused
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to do business with him of any makeshift basically fucking
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: starved the bastard out And that was it, basically. They
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: just said, no, we are... It became a verb, to boycott.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: To boycott someone. It comes from this nation. So, like,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: we are a nation of people that will fucking get
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the job done if we put our mind to it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: One more piece.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Not everybody these days, Tom, it would appear, have the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: minerals for that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: No, not exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would seem that the...
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: The spine, the hardness of the spine has gone a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: bit fucking gelatinous in recent fucking years.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: You know, but then again, there's a couple here and
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: there that would still say that the spirit of the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Dunn's grapefruit protests live on.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: As a child, Tom, I always thought it was oranges.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I thought it was South African oranges. You thought it
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: was oranges.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I guess. They grow a lot of nice stuff in
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: South Africa. Now, here's one for you. So, from... What
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: was the brand? Do you remember the brand? Of the...
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Of the grapefruits. Oh, God, no. I just said I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: thought it was oranges. Well, here we go, right? Because
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the same crowd did oranges as well. They did oranges
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: as well. And I bet you at some stage in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: your childhood, you saw one of the little timber crates,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you know, little timber punnets that they would come in? Well,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the company, somebody who passed away very recently, but he
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: was in The Commitments, his nickname was the brand. Outspan. Outspan.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Was that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I knew Outspan were the oranges. Outspan... They were Outspan grapefruits. So.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: What's his name? Glenn Hanson character who was Outspan in.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. God, yeah. As you mentioned, I had plenty of
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: fucking satsumas as a child.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Was I.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Was I falling in apartheid asking for a satsuma?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Most likely.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I doubt these things were coming from France, were they? I.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: We only got ours from... you know, Seville, as far
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: as I remember.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Seville, okay, we'll take that. We'll take that. I wasn't,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I wasn't there like, you know. Keep, keep Manal's Mandela
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: in jail.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Talk about my own. If I get a fucking easy
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: peel off. If the fucking, in the 80s, if I
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: got my hands on an orange, there was at no
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: point was I going, sorry, is this.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Is this culturally appropriate? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Country of origin
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: for this. Well, there you go, folks. Apropos of nothing,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Apropos of absolutely nothing. Shit changes when people change it.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm telling you now.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So that was another thing we remember from when
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: we were kids, Tom.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: But for two segments that could have really been we
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: remember when. Nah, they weren't we remember when. That's news
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and current events. We remember hen is next. Because we
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: remember when.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: When I was a young lad, 20 or 30 or
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: 40 years ago. I think for a moment there you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: remembered a hen. But I like that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I said we remember when several times, Tom. Tom, okay,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: we are going to rock and roll into this last
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: segment because this is a battle.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: To the death, baby. I think this is going to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: end up running and running and getting controversial even over
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: on our Instagram page. I think this is going to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: get saucy on how this plays out.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: And no better place to get saucy than in the
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: kitchen because Tom sent me a message there the other
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: day About a kitchen appliance that he has in his house.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I've got one in my house as well. And he says,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you know, should we do something about this? And I'm like,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: you know what, Tom? We shouldn't do something about that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: kitchen appliance. We should do something about all the kitchen
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: appliances we have seen come and go in our 45
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: odd years of life in this goddamn cursed, ever worsening rock.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Tom, an air fryer was what you proposed to me. Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Now, I reckon if anybody has the means to listen
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to this podcast, then they have the means to air
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: fry something in their house, I dare say.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: It's... Why I picked air fryer is because it is... Like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: if I said to you, Gerry, go down to the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: kitchen and bring me up your gravy separator.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: No, yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: You get me? Yeah, or your ice cream maker. Not
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: everybody has these things. Oh, you mean you don't have
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: your fucking rice steamer out to hand?
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: But in our lifetime, Tom, in our lifetime, there have been...
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: kitchen gadgets have transponded past the world of getting advertised
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: on QVC at 4 o'clock in the morning to being
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: actual things that you can buy in a shop because
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: everybody wants them that much George Foreman grills start being
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: advertised on TV until everybody fucking wanted one and all
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: of a sudden you can buy one in Corey's PC
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: world like we watched all of these things happen and
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you Tam They ain't all been winners,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: but there are, by my count, about eight kitchen appliances
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: in our lifetime that have stuck the test of time.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yes. But there can only be one king.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Much like the immortals in the Highlands.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: There can only be. There can only be one.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: What we're going to do here now for the final
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: segment of the Tom and Jerry show is we're going
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: to have like a Highlander style face off.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the kumite. This is the kumite of
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the kitchen, baby. Or for the foot, but this is
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: like the World Cup of kitchen appliances.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Tom, I'm just writing that down as a potential
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: episode title, Kitchen Kumite.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: That's good, I like that. That's actually pretty good, yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I like that real nice.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: See what happens when we come together, people. Look at this.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: You're watching the sausage get made here, people. Although we
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: don't have a sausage maker on this thing. Tom, here
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: are eight commercially available kitchen appliances that have come to
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: fruition in our lifetime.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Some of them.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: You could buy them in the 1950s if you wanted,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: but they became domestically popular in our lifetime.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: And there was like, well, I suppose we'll get into
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: it as we discuss each one. But I mean, some
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: of them like could have killed you in their formative years.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: And as we pair these off against each other in
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Mortal Kombat, that wouldn't be a factor. Like it was
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: this thing to burn you. Yeah, okay.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we're going to start with a stalwart of
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the 80s, Tom.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: We're just going to list out these eight, and I've
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: got them bracketed two against two, two against two, two
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: against two.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: And we're going to all the way down to the winner,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: like the Old Valley Karate Championship.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Whoever gets the crane kick at the end gets the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: crane kick at the end, yeah.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: And we're going to put these, and we're going to
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: find out the kitchen appliance to rule all kitchen appliances.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You've got a kettle. You've got a toaster. You've got
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: one more plug socket in the kitchen. What do you keep?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the list here. Number one, Tom,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: is the old-fashioned Breville sandwich toaster. Close up the.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Bread, seal it up real nice.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Came real popular in the late 70s, early 80s. Every
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: fucking kitchen in the place had one of them. So
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: you got your Breville. After that, Tom, I feel like
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: a coffee. Here's a thing that came up in our time,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the Nespresso coffee machine. Drop your pods in, crank it down,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: get your coffee out, real nice barista-style coffee to your kitchen.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Wasn't a thing when we were growing up?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Get your Nescafe or your Maxwell house.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Stir it out of the jar.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you've got Nespresso machines in your kitchen. Next,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: we have got our oft-mentioned friend there, Tom, the Air Fryer.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You've got that Air Fryer.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Ninja or otherwise. And then after that, Tom, we have
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: another very popular item that came... I mean, I bought
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: my first one about 15 years ago and they were
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: all the rage. Once you start seeing YouTube channels up
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: going like, 10 ways that you can cook in your blank,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: then you know you're getting somewhere. Yeah. This is a
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: slow cooker I'm talking about, Tom. Yeah, slow cooker. Ding, ding,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: coming in after that, we've got my man George Foreman
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: with his lean green cooking machine. The George Foreman Grill,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: initially available only on TV, now available in shops and
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: it's become the word for a hot press Tom again
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: you could buy one of these in the 1950s you
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: were so inclined but they only became really super popular
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: in the mid 80s when they got downsized and became
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: ready to rock and roll the microwave oven my friend
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: yes okay yeah yeah we've got two more let's go
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: again you could buy these 100 years ago but they
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: became domestically popular and very available in the 70s and
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: 80s that's a deep fat fryer Tom Not a chip pan,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: a deep fat fryer. And last, we have, on the
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: healthy side of things, a NutriBullet. That's eight devices, Tom.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Eight devices. Eight answers. One shall stand.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Every one of these I've had, at least... I've owned
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: every single one of these machines. At least three times. Like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: of varying sizes.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: And swap them out, because, yeah, you know, you can't
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: fit a whole X in that. I need a bigger one.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Or that's too big, I need a smaller one.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the Toasty Sandwich Maker versus
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the Nespresso. Let's go. Let's go round one here, buddy, okay?
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Round one, ding, ding.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: The Breville Sandwich Toaster versus the Nespresso machine.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get it out of the way so the
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: likelihood of the rating of to hurt you. So I
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: have never been hurt by the Nespresso machine. No. I
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: don't think so. But I can... The first thought, the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: second thought that comes to mind, because I fucking love
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a fresh toasted sandwich, especially with a few beers on board.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Especially with a few beers on board, especially when you
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: butter the fuck out of the outside too. Like, you know,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: because when you remember to do that and it just
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: turns it all saucy. But I can promise you the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: second thought that comes to mind when I think of
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: a Breville toasted sandwich maker and the sandwich that comes
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: out of said maker is burnt a fucking mouth. Cheese lava.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: It must be said as well, Tom, that a Breville machine,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: not the easiest to clean you have in your life.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: A whore. A whore of a thing to clean.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you one thing, Tom. It's good
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: that these two, and these were drawn completely random, by
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: the way, folks, but it's good that these two are
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: going one against the other because they're both very single-use machines.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: You can only make coffee in an espresso. You can
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: only make a toasted sandwich in the sandwich toaster. Although
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: you can, I suppose, maybe crack an egg into it
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: if you're an absolute fucking weapon. So I guess the
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: question that comes down to it is, do you prefer
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: an espresso to a Breville? I'm going to tell you
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: something about the Nespresso machine here, Tom. I'll tell you
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: something about the Nespresso machine that George Clooney did not
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: tell us in the ads. An Nespresso machine is loud
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: as fuck.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Loud as... Thankfully, on the counter we have inside, it's
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: a solid lump of timber. But we've had Nespresso machines
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: in maybe three or four properties that we've had of
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: varying qualities of counter by... Christ.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Last one.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: You'll know well we lived in a mobile home for
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: a brief period. Yes. Turn on a fucking espresso machine
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: inside the mobile home, Ger.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: You know all about it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: You ain't popping that on at five in the morning
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to sneak out with your coffee or, you know, and
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: hope that the little lady stays asleep. It's worse than
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: turning on the big light. Exactly.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Shit for the environment as well, Tom. I'm going to
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: move things along. I'm going to give this to the
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Breville here. We like toasted sandwiches more than we like.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I think so, yeah.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: So, Tom, the next one up is you cookin'. Your
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: air fryer going up against your slow cooker. Do you
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: want it fast or.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Do you want it slow? Yeah, I mean, there's... Look,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: it's like... It's like fast fashion nowadays, really, isn't it?
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Like you're throwing all... You're just going, well, yeah, look,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: it's a € 4 top from Penny. What's the big deal? Yeah,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to strangle a porpoise at some stage. And yes,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: there's some small Indian child that's lost its fingers for
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: the amount of dye that's gone into his hands to
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: make this. But I look great for.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: two hours in it or two hours in my Stranger
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Things t-shirt yeah exactly and how does that pertain to
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: the subject at hand here Tom.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Well that's your air fryer isn't it that is your
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: air fryer that's your air fryer I will.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Say for the air fryer though the air fryer is
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: massively versatile but the slow cooker is also wonderfully versatile
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Well my argument for this is right I mean you
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: can say you.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Cook a stew in a slow cooker you can.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Say well I look we have on a third or
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: fourth fucking edition of I spent as much on fucking
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: air fryers as I have on cars. The fourth one,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: it's got two trays in it. It can do all sorts.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Left and right, yeah.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you right now, Ger, I don't care.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's new age kids right now going, it's the
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: greatest thing of all time. Now, it's on the other
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: side of the tournament and it doesn't go up against it,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think, just yet.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: It might yet.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: But I don't give a fuck what you tell me.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: If I went into a chipper and all the chips
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: they handed out to me came out of an air fryer,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I'd go... You're not getting a fucking penny off me,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: you animal. A chip is not meant to be fucking
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: blasted with a hairdryer and under a light. It's meant
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: to be dipped in the fat of an animal. Or,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: you know, if you want, you can squeeze some fucking
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: vegetables in there too. But it's got to be boiled
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: at fucking 250 degrees in oil. It's got to be fried.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's a Moriava yolk. And I'll tell you
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: right now, one of the greatest tasting things that I've
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: ever had in my life. Cheapest cut of meat you
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: can get. The shin. cooked over eight hours, made a
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: ragu out of it in a... Whatchamacallit? That didn't cost
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: hardly the price of keeping a light bulb on. For me,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: it's the slow cooker wins this one. It is a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: slow cooker.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: The slow cooker is a wonderful machine, Tom, if you
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: know you're going to be hungry in 12 hours.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you fuck off to work. Do you know
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: what I mean? It's... A big knob of hard meat
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that you got for nothing.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I just want to make sure we're doing due diligence here, okay?
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Because we did not keep.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Our slow cooker. I heard something different there, Gerald, when
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: you said what. You mean due diligence.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Due diligence.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Not due diligence. Definitely not. We are doing our, we're
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: giving everything a fair shake here. Yeah, okay.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: We did not keep our slow cooker in this house.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: We did keep the air fryer, I will agree. Like,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: you know, my missus says, you know, oh, the sausages,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm making sausages. I'm like, sweet.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: In the air fryer.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, fair enough.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like there's 20% gone off them. But no, I'm
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: just speaking from, can I find the slow cooker chair?
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Don't know where it is. Guessing it's in the box
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: of the attic. Was the air fryer used this evening? Yes.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Is this hoodie fucking a 300 euro North Face? No,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's a cheapest shit hoodie for midweek.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's the same with you Tom to be
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: honest with you do.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean it's it's I get what
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you're saying I feel I feel like a bit of
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: a piece of shit using the air fryer so much
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: versus say something that turns out a quality bit of
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: stuff if you can put the time into it but
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just life how it is right now I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: can't help.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: It well Tom the first the first controversy of the
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: tournament we are moving forward with Slow Cooker air fryer
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: you are a wonderful machine I know which one I
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: want to eat soup out of Tom.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Next up, buddy.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Next up. It's the heavyweight battle of the world. It
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: is the George Foreman grill going up against the microwave oven.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Both.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Now. Both have. There's a. Anybody go find.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Find.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: There's a stand up clip of a guy. It's one
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: of the best bits I've ever seen, Ger. I'll try
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and find it. Have you seen it where a guy is.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Is it, is it, is it Cleary, John Cleary's bit? No, no, no, no, no.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: It's an American guy and he's talking about like the,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: like the, the round table meeting when designing the George
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Foreman grill and it's fucking epic. So we're going to
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: have no handle. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, no handle.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just fucking.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: And how.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Do we know when.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Actually, I know that bit.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I'll try and find it.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: How do we know when it's done? You won't.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: You won't.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Is there a timer? No. I remember Kaliri's bit.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: John Kaliri, if you listen to the show, he's an
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: amazing stand-up comedian from Ireland.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Look him up.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: But I remember he had a bit about George Foreman.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, George Foreman getting hit in the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: head all the time. It's like, all I think about
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: is boxing. All I think about is boxing. All I
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: think about is boxing. All I think about is home economics.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What a test.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a test.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Tump.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: You said earlier, what is more unlikely to injure you?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what it's going to boil down
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: to here.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Now the versatility has to go to the microwave. You
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: can make popcorn in a microwave.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You can boil water. in a microwave George Foreman
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: you'll do a steak or you'll also do fish you
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: know you'll do chicken yeah you'll do the same thing
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: but you'll do it nicely.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest I've only ever cooked overcooked stuff in
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: a George Foreman I don't know what it is I
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: just overcook fucking everything in the fucking thing so I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing here's the thing with the George Foreman
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: right you said earlier what is most likely to injure
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: you or hurt you and I gotta tell you that
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: George Foreman is high on that because as your man
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: said in his bit there's no handle on it you
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: have to put your hand underneath it and the chance
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: of you touching the red hot cast iron skillet of
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: it is fucking high I've done it more than once
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: and it ain't friendly the other thing with the George
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Foreman is it's a lean green fat free grilling machine
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: now we've already discounted the air fryer on health grounds
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: number one Tom yeah The George Foreman.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Has a little drip tray to catch grease in it.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: So now you've given me a separate little fucking pot
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: of grease to contend with.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: When an air fryer cooks it and there's no grease,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that grease went. That's exactly, I
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: had this argument.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Leprechaun grease, where's it gone?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Like this magic grease fucking vapour. But now, okay, if
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: we are talking danger, there is the potential to actually
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: blow up your house.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say, you can put a spoon in
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: a George Foreman and it won't blow your house up.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: No. But you know what? I think it's neat. I
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: don't know of anybody who's ever done it. Because you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: know it. You've left a bit of tinfoil on a
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: thing or you've left a spoon in for a second
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: and it just makes one crack and you're like, oh, fuck.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: The warnings that your mother gave you all come rushing
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: back to you.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, Tom, and please, listeners of
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: the Tom and Jerry show, don't take this as an
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: endorsement or anything like that. I've put plenty of spoons
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: through the microwave to no avail. I think it's amazing.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: They make a bit of a crackle, you know what
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: It's not intentionally, just accidentally you put a plate of
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: dinner in the thing, it's like, fuck, I left a
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: knife on that.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Tom, with the interest of moving this on, because we
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: have a lot to do, I think this is going
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to have to.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Go to microwave from versatility.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think so.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: So George Foreman, again, but, you know, we've already got
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: a sandwich toaster up here, we don't need a fucking second.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure I could cook a chicken breast
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: in a sandwich if push comes to shove.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I tried to make toasted sandwiches in a George form
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: and they just don't cut the fucking mustard.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: It ain't it.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It don't seal the edges or nothing.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: And last but not least on this thing and again
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: these were chosen at random but this is probably the
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Brazil versus Cameroon of the tournament Tom.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: The deep fat fryer versus the Nutribullet.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: So it's like how much of a fat fuck do
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: you want to be here Tom?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Look I can tell you right now, we haven't had
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a deep fat fryer in a very long time.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Neither have we.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think, believe me and my wife have ever
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: had one. No, no, we haven't actually had one. No, no. Yeah,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: you're the same as that. I remember.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: But I am saying, Tom, now we should because that
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: shit delicious.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: That shit be delicious. And I did a thing last year, Ger,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: where I had a pot of oil and I have
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: a skillet outside and It's not the safest thing I've
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: ever done, but it was canola oil, so it doesn't
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: really have to go at savage temperature. I did this
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: deep fried Spanish onion that you split in a certain way. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: for fuck sake. And you snap it off and it's
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: crunchiness and you dip it in. Oh, Jeremy.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Tom, I just don't think now.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: I've got a Nutribullet downstairs and I'm going to tell you,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: it's a very, you know, yeah, it'll absolutely make you
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: a smoothie. For January... When you feel like... A fucking... Yeah.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Absolute fat bastard... Yeah yeah... And I... Listen I enjoy
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the odd smoothie... Herself loves the smoothies... But like... I
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: ain't looking at chia seeds and going... Class... I'm not saying...
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: That it isn't a great joke... And it can make
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: a decent pancake batter... You know... And it's easy to wash...
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: That's the big thing... It's fucking into the microwave... And
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it sorts itself out... The deep fat fryer... You're everything
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: to deal with.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Oh a dirty bastard.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Dirty bastard... Like... I remember the parents, the owl had
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: literally built a shed around the deep fat fryer for
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: a finish because.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, like, you know, back home, Mam still cooks on
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: a deep fat fryer, but she has it out in
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: the shed.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't because you know all the young fellas,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: you knew the young fellas in school whose coats got
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: hung near where the deep fat fryer was because they
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: just stunk of the fucking deep fat fryer when they
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: put their coat on at lunchtime or whatever. So... Mr.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: O'Mahony, a decision, please.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, fuck. Fuck. Again, I don't have one of these,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: but you know what? It's we remember when, and I
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: fair miss the deep fat fryer. Deep fat fryer goes through. Yeah, sorry.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Deep fat fryer goes to an aggregate. Okay, we're down
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: through to the semifinals here now. So this is going
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: to get quick and easy. Semifinal number one, the Breville
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: sandwich toaster. All the brands are available versus the slow cooker.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, let's, like, I think.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: This is literally, do you want this in five minutes
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: hot and tasty or do you want this when you
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: get home from work?
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and nobody wants to put that kind of thought
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: into it. I mean, we're into the final now. They
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: both lost a couple of their starters. They're, you know,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: they're not even at full strength. But I mean, every
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: day of the week, if somebody turns around and goes, hey,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: would you like some ragu? I'm like, no, I'm good.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: You sure? Or will I make you a toast with
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: ham and cheese with white bread? And I'm like, oh,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: for fuck's sake.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I think the toasted sandwich maker has to go through, Joe.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to have to put the toasted
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: sandwich maker through, Tom. I mean, this is one that
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: has come from the 80s to today. We know that
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: this isn't a passing fad.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: This thing has stuck around. It would not, not considering
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: the clean up afterwards, but it would not, I never, ever,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: would ever be left down by somebody, a family member,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: a friend, a randomer, just making me a toasted sandwich.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I'd never be let down by that.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you a better one, Tom. Since I moved
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: out to become a man, I've never been in a
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: domicile where there has not been a sandwich toaster. I've
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: made sure that where one breaks, I buy another. There's
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: always one in there. And the slow cooker, like I say,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: has broke a wee while ago and I don't think
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: we ever replaced it. So I'm going to give this
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: to the Breville here.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in agreement with you.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: And then, Tom, here we go. Do you want this?
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Which one of these do you want to blow up
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: your house?
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: A microwave or a deep-fried fryer?
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, I mean... I will tell you, it's the
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: old guard that's coming through here now.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Now we've gotten rid of the slow cooker. Everything is
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: pretty much from the 80s on.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: But if you... Mike, we have a deep fat fryer, Tom.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I will say, again, for versatility, you can't do popcorn
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: in a deep fat fryer. Although maybe you can. That
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: would be delicious, maybe.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, you can.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: You can do anything in a deep fat fryer, I suppose.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Even wild carrots in a deep fat fryer. I.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I... I have deep fat fried and battered and deep
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: fat fried Wait for this, Ger.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Go for.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: It. I've done the Mars bar. I did a fucking bounty.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I did a whole lot when I came back from Scotland.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: They all work.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Now, had I drink on board?
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: I had.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Were you lucky to have a house to wake up
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: in the next morning?
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: But I do, I know what you're saying about the microwave,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: but again, if somebody in the morning, like you said, said, look,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you got one spare socket there. What are you going
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: to plug in? What gets me excited, Ger? I'm just
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: saying it. The microwave, you're right, it's classy. You can
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: warm up a fucking cold cup of tea. You can
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: warm up the soup.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I will say the microwave now, Tom, before you come
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: down on your decision, just kind of set it yourself there.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: When you wake up tomorrow morning, your microwave is with
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: you all day long. It will make you your porridge.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: It will make you, it will heat you up soup.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: It will heat you up your dinner actually do you
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: know what I'm going to tell you like the microwave
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: won't cook it'll just heat up something.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: You already have because apparently it'll cook rashers I don't
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: know bollocks it will this is coming from Marco Pierre
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: White Marco Pierre White he was in a cafe on
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: the show that I watched years ago and your man
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: went he goes do you mind me asking how many
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: bacon butties do you do a day it's oh fucking
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: 200 of them and he says why are you frying
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: them I said what are you talking about he goes
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: go back in make my one And you don't have
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: to give it to anybody else. Make my one and
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: put four rashers in the microwave for two minutes, full power.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: On a plate.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: And watch what happens. And lo and behold, they came
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: out kind of crispy there. Now, have I put it
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: to the test? Neil. But, I'm telling you now, that's
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: the only thing I've ever heard of. You can scramble
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: an egg apparently in it. I did it once. Fucking disgusting.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you can do in a microwave.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: You can make the microwave stink of whatever the fuck
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: it was. you put in it stink eggs stink fish.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: And heaven forbid you leave a lid on or you
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: create combustion of some sort and you have to clean
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the fucking bolognese sauce off the inside of the thing
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: because you oh for fuck's sake are we giving this
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: to the deep fat fryer Tom? see I'm like there's
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: so there's versatility versus pure deliciousness I mean you know
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: what you're getting the deep fat fryer doesn't sneak up
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: on you the microwave is like lads I'm pure class
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: you can stick me in the corner of the kitchen
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I do nothing but just fucking warm things But the
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: deep fat fryer is a big ignorant fucking mulliker of
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: a fucking thing and it'll go, just put me outside
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: in a small shed or just put me somewhere. Leave
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: me for 20 minutes and I will cook the fuck
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: out of whatever you put in me and it'll be delicious.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm, yeah, I'm just going to say it, Ger.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Deep fat fryer?
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: The fat content in me has gone deep fat fryer.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Well, Tom, that leaves us with our Kumite, our All
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Valley Championship deciding round. You've got... The Breville sandwich toaster
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: versus the deep fat fryer. You've got one socket, Tom.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Fuck.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Choose wisely.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: So the Breville will make you a delicious Sambo, but
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: fuck all else.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: The deep fat fryer will make you a fat bastard.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: What? I mean, here's the thing. Neither of them are
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: easy to clean, I will say. No.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: What I will say, Tom, the Breville is least likely to...
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Do that big scary fire thing. I've never seen a
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: fire brigade do a warning video showing you the consequences
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: of what happens.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: In a toasted sandwich maker. In a toasted sandwich maker
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: goes off. He put fucking gorgonzola in this one. Crazy bastard.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that happen.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Every year the fire brigade put out videos going like,
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: for the love of Jesus. if or when your deep
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: fat fryer goes on fire, don't throw water on it.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: I think, like, you know, if your Breville goes on fire,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: just leave it. Unless it's beside a stack of newspapers,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: just let it fucking burn out.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I think you might be right when it comes to
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: the safety side of things. But here's the thing, like, I.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: I... And you're a simple man like me. How many
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: times have you been in a pub and you've gotten
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: a toasted sandwich? But nothing brightens up. This is where,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: this is real meta now. I'm getting deep. Nothing brightens up.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: We've got to do, we've got to get deep on
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: important subjects.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: At this time. Nothing brightens up a toast sandwich more
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: than on the plate. Can I fucking heap of chips
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: with it?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Can I heap of chips, it must be said.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Like, none of them fucking air fryer fucking chips. I'm
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: talking about deep fried crispy chips and a deep... Now here,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: this is where I'm going to fuck your brain right off.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: We could throw this whole competition out. Do you want
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: to know the greatest toasted sandwich I ever had? Please.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: It was in an American-themed, an American-Irish-themed bar that was
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: in Mahon Point Shopping Centre in Cork. Now it's since gone.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: It was like Beninigans or something. It was the sort
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: of stupid shit you would see in America. The hot
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: dog diner. And they thought it would work back here
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: with American style, you know, you know, the... turkey chicken
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: fried fucking steak and stuff like this yeah the tastiest
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: thing now again no actually I'd only just started drinking
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I had a beer with it it was a toast
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: of sandwich that had been dipped in batter and deep
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: fried in the frying the fucking the deep fried fryer
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: I said what the fuck Ger that's disgusting Tom but
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I want one it was fucking hideous Tom, do you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: know what I think? And I'm springing this on you
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: here now. We ain't having a tie. We're not having
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: a tie, Jared.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: This might be too much of a decision for two
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: men to make. I think what we might do is
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: we might throw this one open to the listeners.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I'm down. I need help on this one. To vote. Yeah.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: The kitchen appliance to end all kitchen appliance. And don't
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: fucking turn around to us and go, actually, you know what?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: You guys forgot to include a waffle maker. No, we didn't.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: It's a Breville toaster. What about the paninis? Go fuck
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: off with paninis.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: It is a classic sandwich toaster versus a deep fat fryer.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: We are going to put a poll up on the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: social media pages and let you guys decide. And we'll
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: let you know what won this time last week.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: This time next week.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that, Tom?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I think, do you know what?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Genuinely, I don't see consensus coming between the two of us.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you found a way. How did I find myself
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: in the middle of cooking bread? with both items inside,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: like that's where I ended up. I ended up inside
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: the fucking matrix just there without drowning on fucking food.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to get out of it. I
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: had a deep fried fucking toasted sandwich. That's where I
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: ended up, Ger. So I'm useless at this point. I've
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: hit the wall.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: You're what they call in voting circles, Tom, an outlier.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: But the fine folks of the Tom and Gerry show
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: will help us decide The Kitchen Kumite. And you can
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: join us next week for the results of that. And
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: if you don't have your say, someone else will have
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: your say for themselves. Not voting is the same as
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: voting against what you want. Isn't that what they say, Tom?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Stand up for what you believe in.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Stand up for what you believe in and find the poll,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: which is going to go up on Instagram this week.
