• 2:05
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, if that's your story, Like I I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: at the very least understood the ridiculousness of my haircut
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and cut it off for charity, even would you believe?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: But I held onto mind actually far to film a
• 2:17

• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why not all of it? To be honest with you,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But no, I did have that sort of lockdown mentality,

• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and I'll caught it and I'll call it for Christmas.

  Speaker 2: first run I did without the hair, I went over
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the bat. You were completely out of equilibrium, that's all.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: That was completely out of equilibrium? Is this is one
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: take on the story. I was out of equilibrium, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I was not out of ignorance. I was running and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I went across a T junction and there was a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: car that I thought was going to stop that didn't stop,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: so I had to kind of follow the T junction
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: around rather than run straight across it. Yeah, yeah, I could.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I could have stopped, Tom, I could have stopped for
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: four seconds and we would have and we would have
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: had no opener for this show. But I have this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I have this thing. Do you ever see buys like
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: stopping at if they're out for a run, they'll stop
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: at a traffic light and the sort of jog on
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the spot and then they'll run after. I can't be
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: doing that, Tom, Now, I know. I get that. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: get that. I can't. I can't git it. No, no, no,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I'll tell you what them buys don't do, Tom.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They don't run at full speed, run a nineteen degree
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: corner or straight into the back of a parked car
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: like like like a cartoon wolf. Oh do you know
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: what could here's the thing.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You're not old enough yet for me to go, oh geez,

• 7:27
  Speaker 1: so still you're in the in the you fucking bullocks.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, And like I I ran around the corner,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: which I anticipated, and then there was a park car there,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: which I didn't anticipate, so I tried to turn around
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: moa to not hit it, and ended up just like
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: throwing myself around on my shoulder. And I did sort
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of like a John Cena five knuckle shuffle down into
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the ground and thumped the ground as hard as I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: could with my hand. And and and I broke. Oh,

  Speaker 2: So I don't know what equivalent bone is in your hand.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But I broke the metatarsal of my hand, which is
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: better than breaking the ankle of your arm, you know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And and and there you go. And it's one of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: these ones. It's a nine that it's it's not a

• 14:07
  Speaker 2: two sort of little little segments so to speak, not
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: very regimented whatsoever, going to be a little bit loosey
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: goosey uh. And what I want to ask you, Tom,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: this is what we're going to talk about here. Here's
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a phrase. If you're if you're in Ireland, you're going
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to hear this in the run up to Christmas. And
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I never really pulled apart what it meant or how
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to answer it other than just going like oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and the no typical Irish answer oh yeah, yeah yeah
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and and and then run away. Tom. The question is this,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to put it to you now go,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: are y all set for the Christmas?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I tell you there's nothing I hate more than mundane
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: questions and statements that mean nothing at all, do you
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? But I accept that one, right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I accept it on a yearly basis because it only
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: comes around once here and it's two you only owl
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: ones and stuff that ask me. I got asked it
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: three times on Sunday, and.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Nine times out of ten I go, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you know yourself.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And then the one time I throw something out there
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that's relevant and it proves exactly what I thought. They
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: don't fucking want to know if I'm not saying for Christmas.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: They don't care. They want to know nothing about my
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: my do you know, well, they don't understand the question
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: they're asking.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: No, it's just it's the usher that's more of a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: kind of a statement, you know what I mean, shy talk.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Let's fill the air as a podcaster, Let's fill the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: air with actual shy talk, scandalous carry on.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you this year is I think we're
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: kind of off the hook a little bit, if you
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. This year is different for you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: tom so so. So what we want to learn now
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is on any conventional year, okay, taking all things aside,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: what does it mean to you tom to be set
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for Christmas? What is it that you have to do?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: What is it that you have to get? What food
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: stuff do you have to stock upon? What cookery do
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: you have to do? What do you have to watch?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: What do you have to do to consider yourself set
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: for the Christmas? Might be something big, might be something small. Cheese.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start with that now.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: If anybody wants to go back to the previous Christmas months,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: they won't be Monday. And trust me, because they're evergreen.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: We have talked about how to cook the Christmas dinner
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and all the rest of it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So oh yes, and we're Christmas people.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: On a yearly basis. My Christmas is to be set.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Have meant different things, and they like there was a time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I was only thinking about it the other day. What
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: an obnoxious time we lived in.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: It was like two thousand and six, and this only
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: popped into my head the other day. I was like,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: holy shit, I was that guy for a brief period.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I was single, I was.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Making money, and I remember coming getting to the parents'
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: house and all the siblings are there and stuff like that,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and they're partners and stuff, and I literally act the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: four by four up to the front door, up and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: down the tailboard and to applit through a Brown Thomas bag.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So it just went to the gears are in there,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: going to find them yourselves?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Have it wisely? What a prick.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But then you're twenty five, twenty six. Yeah, no, nobody's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: ever taught you how to have money before, and you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: do stupid assholes stuff like that. So that for me
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at that point was well, that's me done for Christmas,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: like boom.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: But to pull out that tom for you to be
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: set with that, it wasn't the buying of the presence.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It was the gifting of them like that's I will say.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I think that's a big thing. Like it's one thing
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to have bought gifts for someone, but like there's a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: great relief in offloading them things and making sure everybody's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: sort of you know, yes you liked it, Yes it
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: was the right size. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's your problem
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and it's not mine, you know, because before before all that,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you've just got you know, potential energy, you know what
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I mean. It's all just in the press and it's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: very up here. So I'm not set personally. I'm not
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: set until I get rid of those things, but buying
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of them is the least we've said it. Yeah, we've
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: said it in this house. Like you know, we start
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: buying stuff in October just to stash it, and you
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: know you have a spare twenty to forty one year
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: or there. You know herself is unreal, she'll buys it
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: in February, do you know what I mean? Like, there'll
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: be stuff, and now that we have space, there will
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: be I'm no doubt there will be stuff's stored around
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the place. But I think these days in more recent time,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: being all set for Christmas, especially here's a weird one.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's not just of the typical thing, and I suppose
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it's going back to being a small but traditional is
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to have. We're going to hand deliver a bunch.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Of local Christmas cards, still very very very nearby people.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Because when you know whe where I'm living, you know
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: all your neighbors. I know everybody within within three miles anyway,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I would have a fair grasp of everybody, like and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they're all going to get a Christmas card at the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: very least they'll be put in I'm pain find a stamp,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. I'm poster making a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: fortune these days with the courier stuff. So it'll be
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: put either put into their letterbox er handed to him
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: just to say, hey, we're now a staple in the neighborhood.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: May not do it every year there, but this year
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: in particular, it will be we will.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: We've both agreed that it's a good thing to do,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is to go and hand it out the whole lot
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and just you know, do the you know, take the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: oddity out of Because we can be very austere and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: stay away from each other and only say hello once
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: in the blue moon, why not be a bit sound
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and call around. And I know, even we did a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: little bit of it last year, a few people were
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a bit taken it back.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: They're like, Jesus, I haven't seen.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: A person show up at a card and you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's a it might be a cooler thing
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to get a bit more human interaction rather than just
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to send my neighbors a fucking email.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Like you know, I hope this festive email kind regards. Yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you mentioned you mentioned cheese there, Tom, Now that's very important.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Were it's given that, like you know, nobody's set until
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: they do their Christmas shop to get the groceries in
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: y or the grocer unless you have you know, a
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: turkey farm at home and you've eyebawled the board in particular,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and you know, like five more days, his head's coming off.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: You know you don't have a turkey in your freezer
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: right now? Correct me in the comments if I'm wrong.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: So there has to be a Christmas food shop, Tom,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: But what is it that you could not do it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: out between twenty fourth to twenty sixth is the possibility
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of what's going to go off in that period.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: My big thing is I wouldn't go mad and getting
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the cheese too early because.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Because you would eat it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Tom.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And so I mean, there isn't these days certain much
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in the way of perishable items other than poultry and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I think me and the problem
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: is I can't have entering in the house chair. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: can't have any treat treats all year around in the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: house because if they're here, I have an emotional disability
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to not being able to Like when I drive home
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: from gigs there, I have to make sure that I'm
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: full of diesel on the way there, because Heaven forbid,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I need to stop for some of the way back
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: because we know petro stations sell diesel, and shame, shame,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: because the passenger seat will be grotesque with the amount
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of squishes. You know all these things, So you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Know it's gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna tell you, Tom,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: there's some people listening to this podcast that have never
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: eaten two cornetdo's at half twelve at night.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Christ I don't know what you're doing with your life
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: if you've gotten this far, not not at two cornados
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: at mid midnight or even after it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The even home from the Midlands. Sometimes you need duel.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: You need to double fisted corneto when you're driving through
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the Midlands. So the cheese thing for me, because perishable
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: or non perishable, if it's in the house, the I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: don't I I can't buy the hype on a lot
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of things like I've been. I'm very now that we
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: have our own place and stuff that I swear to God,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I'm leaning.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I can do a mean turkey. I can do a
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: mean turkey right yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you right now, I'm I'm starting to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: lean more and more these days to kind of go
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know Jesus Christ, there's much of this turkey
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: fucking carry on because I do something more interest in
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the Turkey, Like I I love lem I love roast beef.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, am I a complete heathen altogether for even
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: thinking these things? I mean, not for thinking these things, tom,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: but for acting upon them. Maybe? Yeah, I won't all
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: have We all have intrusive thoughts from time to time.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: We'd all love to slap someone's phone into the river
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: as we walk past. And you know, you just don't
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: act on these things. You just you know, bury these ores.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't count I don't count myself as been
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a coward, but I think I might be a bit,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: a bit, you know, a bit soft when it comes
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: But for me, it's I'll go with the staples, but
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I try to at least put a bit of a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: fun twist and get them going a small bit, like
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: maybe it's years of smoking in the past that have
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: killed all my taste posts and.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I need to make something super interesting to actually get
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: some of the joy out of the whole thing.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: But as far as as far as being actually set
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: for Christmas, all I've been saying to people when they
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: do is yeah, we're in the house and then they
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: deviate off into that story and I think, I think.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: You have an exemption this year, but we do. We
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: don't because the fucking all the families. Now, after seeing
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the kitchen, I almost send you on the pictures of
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the kitchen, you will, you will enjoy it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But the other there's a fucking oval and it's all
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: o work in kitchen. So I do need to get
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: there will be at the very least we're doing We
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: are doing a Christmas dinner. I'm not sure who's coming,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: but we're doing a Christmas dinner. So I'm going to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: have to be doing the Christmas shop in the next
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: week or so.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Like there's and I can't.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I can't go out with everybody else is doing with
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Jerry God when Tesco we're doing the twenty four hour thing.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Christ you can go five in the morning. It was glorious.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And now they don't do it anymore. That No, the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Duns did that last year and I think we went
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: up at like a quarter past three in the morning
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: or some such and they don't. They're not doing it
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: this year. It's like from seven o'clock till till half
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: eleven at night. Which I suppose yes, is plenty, but
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: still it's a little risky for my regards. I'll tell
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you what. I'll tell you what when I'll be set
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: for the Christmas time. I tell you when I'll be
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: set for the Christmas. Now, Like I say, gifts are bought,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: houses decorated. We've been living large for the past couple
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: of weeks. So like, all that's done, but I still
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: feel hanging over me. Number One, I have to play
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a postman. I have to deliver presents and I have
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: to give all that. I have to empty a wardrobe
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: full of stuff. A pity like that. Oh Jesus right, yeah, yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what else. Time. I won't be
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: set for the Christmas until I get one thing, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: one thing alone, and it's a Christmas Eve purchase, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that is fresh bread, because I have to have the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: makings of nicer sandwiches than I would eat at any
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: other time during the year. Do you know, I don't
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: mind eating a sandwich on just batch loaf that's been
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: sitting there a day or two. Don't mind that any
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: other but on since Steven's Day. You want good fresh bread,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: tiger bread ideally, ah and to get it as fresh
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: as you can. It has to be Christmas Eve. That's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a very valid point you make.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And even if you're you know, you've got a few
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in you know, you're a couple of sheets to the wind.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: There's nothing like and I'll be honest with you, all
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the meating.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: And stuff that's in the house, I fancy nothing half
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Tim you're watching them a shite and one of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you know, Bond movies or something. I fancy nothing better
• 25:38

• 25:44
  Speaker 2: or a toasted sandwich, one of the toasted sandwich No
• 25:46

• 25:48
  Speaker 2: a toasted sandwich. And we've got the toasted sandwich maker

• 26:05
  Speaker 2: it's like all these things are neither here nor there

• 26:40
  Speaker 2: that you can get milk that last for three weeks,
• 26:42

• 26:48
  Speaker 1: like to us and tellers when I was in flow,
• 26:50

• 26:51
  Speaker 1: creamy in use of milk, especially like you know there
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: were certain brands you get they'll be like Jesus, you'd
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: have a proper moustache, like you ain't getting no milk
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and staff just these days no.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Whether it's water or I don't know. I don't understand
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: how you can buy a two liter of milk, and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, this is good until the new year.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I can't I can't wrap my head around yeah yeah,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and and and for here's the thing, Tom, For all
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the milk I drink, I don't eat cereal and I
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: don't put it in coffee. So like, oh, I go
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: through an awfu lot of milk, I'd go through. I would, yet,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I'd go through a fair wacky milk. Now I could nearly.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I'd probably do three quards of a liter a day anyway. Really, yeah, Well,
• 27:28

• 27:30
  Speaker 2: like I'm over here with the calcium deficiencies, the case

  Speaker 2: in point, like why you need to get back on
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the milk. You're gonna come. You're over there drinking you
• 27:39

• 27:49
  Speaker 2: to give me a little hand over here, now, Tom,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: you're over You're over there drinking three quarters of a
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: liter of milk. And you spent the whole year building
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a house with ship falling on you, and you just
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: got stronger. And I'm over here, don't drink no milk.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: And I was out running, walking at pace, and I
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: tripped over myself and shattered like a thousand pleases like
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: mister glass, Jesus Christ, I never told might be onto
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: something there, Yeah, we might be onto something maybe. Just yeah.

  Speaker 1: You need a bunch of records of a liter of
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and none of this light milk, None of this is
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: fat free, none of this two percent. You get yourself
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the chubbiest milk you can get your hand. Do like
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I want to see fat ass milk I eat. I'd
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: go through a pound of butter a week as well,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: by the.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Way, No I did. Okay, Well, actually you know for
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: what I what I lack in milk, I make up
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and butter. It will be said, But yeah, Tom, that's
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: when I'll be set for the Christmas. It's it's not
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: when I've watched die Hard, and it's not when I've
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you know, visited far away relatives or anything like that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It's when I have had of bread that will make
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: me lovely sandwiches for the next two days. Then I
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: can say, right, we're good, we're ready, roll camera.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be honest with you, I'd say to for the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: rest of time. Anyway, I don't put a gnawful, awful
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: heap of thought into it prior, because my wife is
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a warrior and an overthinker of things, and she will
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: have lists that are inside lists, and she will just
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: refine that list, and then I will get saide list.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I much like you know a special operative who's just
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: waiting for deployment or is already overseas, just sitting in
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a safe house, just staring at a corner waiting for
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: my noki at thirty two ten to give me a coordinates.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: That's literally the way I wait.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I will just go roger that and then we're out,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: mount up and off we go and out in the
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: war wagon and I will fill it to the neck
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: with whatever I'm being told to get and I'll bring
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: it back.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And if she's happy, then I've said, for fucking Christmas, chair,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That's literally it. If she's like, thumbs up Tom at
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: East Soldier, I'm like, I'm said, for Christmas, I should
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: have probably I should probably take more responsibility in my life.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: But i' know what my strengths are. My strengths are
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: just I can gather, we can hunt and gather. Yes,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that's about it. I got nothing else. To be fair,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I get overwhelmed with you with the options. That's my problem.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I get overwhelmed with the options when I start looking
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: them up online and start thinking about it, I'm like.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Oh Jesus Christ, but there's nine different types of bread
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I can get here.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I have gone very old school, and I'm going to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: bring next when you do come down or when I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: get back up to you, I'm going to give you.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Now, this is for our listeners, and maybe you are Heiden.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: There's so many celt Tipperary listeners that we may have
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: will know exactly what I'm talking about. But I'm going
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to give you a bread that will It'll make you
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: sit down and go quiet.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Right, do you know that sort of a thing is
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be someth There's gonna be some kind of
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: bread to him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It's but it's the name of the bread also that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I am. The bread is called grinder, and I may
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: tell you grinder bread has been around a lot fucking
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: longer than the alternative. And it's not a ground bread
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: or grind grinder spelt which just nor at the end.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: No, it's it was. It's an old school it's shaped
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in the giant l if you know what I mean,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: big chubby kind of l So technically you cut a
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: giant ale and then make two slices by cutting it
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: across the forty five.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: But there's a fluffiness too, with a crispiness on the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: outside that they've been cooking the same way, making the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: same way for two hundred years locally.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm looking at it here, Tom, Oh,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you're looking at it. Good, good, I'm looking at it here. Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: And it's not a loaf. It's not a loaf of grinder.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: It's a hand of grinder, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah. It nearly looks like a like a sofa,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: a mini sofa, it does it? Yeah, it's it's it's
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it's enticing, Tom, what's good stuff? You'd like it? Now?

  Speaker 2: like to go to there, buddy, Well.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We should organize that. That's that will be the easiest one.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's how I would be set for Christmas
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: when or indoors, you know, so as law, well done,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: pats me on ahead, and just as if you go,

• 32:22
  Speaker 2: sitting down listening to the Tom and Jerry Show on
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the drive to wherever it is you're going. That would
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: be lovely for us. But we're gonna move on, Tom,

  Speaker 2: But Tom, it's a busy time of year for our friend,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: for friend of the podcast, Santa Claus. And don't you know, believable, unbelievable, Tom,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: both you and I we've we've we've met the man.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: We've met the man because when we were Gasons another
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: throwback to old episodes of Tom and Jerry show. When
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: we were Gasons, we were taken to see Santa Claus.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: We were I mean you take not to get not together,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: it must be said, but that would have been an
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: interesting trip.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: But to be fair, like the SENTI is like by
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: he just even speaking of the man, we've been to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: see him already.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: He was outstanding up the road in a beautif setting
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: up a hotel up the road.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: But he didn't he show up at the school today
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and I have to say, I gotta send you the
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: video he showed up today.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: To the primary school.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Incredible, how the man still has time, but he showed
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: up today and waiting to hear this.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: A convertible nineteen.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, eighty eight, eighty nine, possibly ninety Ford
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Escort Immackett. I'm sitting up on the back of it
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: like JFK and you know Jackie O.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: He's sitting up in the back of it, waving and
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: everybody is the same, and Ago ballistic.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: With happiness because of course, of course he personally, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: was admiring the car. I was like, what a touch
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of class there, Sandy, you know, a little throwback there
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: from my childhood.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Which was perfect for us doing this.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Episode today because we did get to see Senti something we.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Got to see Santi as you mentioned it there, tom
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: As you mentioned it just and again. Once you uncork
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: this bottle, oh boy, I tell you, water starts splashing
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: all over the place. I'm gonna tell you because Santy
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: came him to school when I was in primary school,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: but he came the year after I left. It wasn't
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a thing that Santi would come to the to the
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: primary school in the eighth. Yeah, and they started doing
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: it the year after I left, and I was like, well, well,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: excuse as well, wait until Lego now. But I remember
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: here and tell that he came in on the front
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: scoop of a tractor. Oh, and that is that it
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: is up as high as it would go with no hardness,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: because no harness, no nothing. Santi in his Santa Claus
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: outfit that he wore, especially in manhan Ah going down
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: blackstaff here on the scoop of I of a Massey Ferguson.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: So I am sorry I missed that when I was
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: when I was little, But I did see Santi when
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I was little, And Tom, I asked you during the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: week that we could say to our listeners, maybe we'll
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: tell them a story, a piece of the time that
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: sticks out in her mind the most.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: When we saw Santi, I saw some people. I had
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: great traditions of Dublin people. I know they go see
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: him every year in arts and they get the same
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: picture every year or whatever. And I don't think we
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: had that luxury as he might be in a different place,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: like he still shows up in our local town and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: care and he's in the tourist office now. Which is
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: a perfect spot for a man coming from la Land
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that pud and it's a nice center area. But I
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: think it was a hotel at the top of the town.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: But what stands out to me about this particular one,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And there's a photograph knocking around somewhere. I'm a baby,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: but I have a vague, vague memory of this because
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: even to me, I was like, this is an interesting twist.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, because.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Possibly, you know, it was possibly new ish to visiting
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: kids in the various places in Ireland and hotels and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But for some reason, I don't think
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: they needed to hype it up anymore. I'm pretty sure
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: we were all out of our mind with excitement.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Well, Tom, I'm going to tell you just as a
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: prelude to this before we get into it proper. I've
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: got kids now, You've you've you've got a wee man
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: as well. When you take the kids to see Santy now,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: it's like a it's like a three hour job where
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you go to the grounds of some local hotel or
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: business or, in the case of the McBride family, open
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: farm lovely and you're taking through this magical winter wonderland
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: where the place has been converted from top to toe
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: into Santa's workshop away from the workshop, and you're led
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: through this multimedia experience before you finally get to see
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: the big Man himself. This is the thing that's been
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: growing and growing for the past ten years. Tom, you
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: and I believe we're party to one of these one
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: of these years, but like it just keeps going and
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: going and going. Some of the tales that we have
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: from from when we were small take place in the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: shopping centers of this world, you know, in the in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: a kiosk in a shopping center, or in the kiosk
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: in a hotel. Not this Polar Express wonderland with six
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: year old hot chocolates. No, that was that you have
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: to that you have to book in August. Yeah, yeah,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: well we we were lucky enough with that way it was.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: We were early this year.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: We were early in to see him because I could
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: see a turned in depending moment. But like you said,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: it was this unbelievable corridor that the foyer was done
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: out brilliantly. There was he had this setting of these
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: oversized giant present boxes, ever oversized headies, and it looked
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: like do you know exactly what a child would hope
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: sitting with center would be now if I remember correctly,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: he had a chair and it was kind of a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: plywood cut out behind him where where we went to sit.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: But like I said, that was enough for me because
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like we had anything to bounce off where
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: we're going way better than the hood.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: We didn't.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: So this was top of the pops. But this is
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: where it gets. I know you've a good one, but
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: this one, this one will perplex you, and I want
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you to maybe seeking you answer why please? So it's myself,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: my two sisters, my brother hadn't been born yet, and
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: good enough seeing Santi he was a great sani. He
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: was great. He was in great form. But also for
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the polaroid, because polaroids were I mean, this was state
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: of the art stuff at the time. For the polaroid,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he gave us two monkeys, actual monkeys. What jumpers on
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: actual monkeys.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: No, no, wait time, no.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Living monkeys, living jumper wearing banana in the apricot, eating
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: full mouth of teeth, monkeys to hold. I was a toddler, Jerry,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I just want you to explain to me why. And
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: my parents stood there thinking fantastic, great monkeys.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Now, Tom, okay, And again it's not often I'm stumped, yep,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: but you do it quite often. There you go and
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: the stumble where I have to dial it back two
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: real life, not like little teddies or puppets or or
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And then again, Tom, I understand you were quite young
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: at the time. Your memory isn't making these monkeys real.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Where the monkeys there are?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Because there are the monkeys in the room with you now, Tom,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: only because there's a polaroid.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, they're definitely not for nothing.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Where do they get fucking monkeys in in Tipperary in
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the in the late eighties. I'm going to say, the
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: IRA That's the only thing I've got. That's the only
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: they feature heavily in my story too. That's the only
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: the only thing that I can have behind it. There
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: were those little monkeys, you know, like Ross had in friends,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: the little outbreak monkey. That's exactly what I thought.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I went, oh, ground zero, I see right. But for
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: some reason these monkeys were given to us, I mean,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: not enough for us to.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: A capuchin monkey. I'm looking that's them. They had little
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: jumpers on and.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: They were given to us to hold for the photograph
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and then you gave them back.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I guess I.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Don't know where they representative of the very busy elves
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that were working back in left Land.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, like, monkeys don't traditionally
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: feature in the Santa Claus lore. They don't. They don't.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: At the same time they don't.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you'll hear, you know of a nativity where
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: there's a dolphin thrown in or something because some kid
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: has a dolphin outfit.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: This might be a nativity featuring Spider Man. Yeah, exactly.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering, like, was it a case that
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he happened to have been.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Somewhere he was bringing these somewhere else? Just here listen?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Can you ferry these? I know you're in double and
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: now on your head to Cork.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: You'll probably you're you're stopping in care just on the way.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Take these to photo with farry me?
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Will you?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Photo is grand? But if they're coming with me, they're
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: working grand. I'm I've got a Christmas jumpers for put
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: them on. They won't bite a life, not often, not often.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: They won't bite. What was what was to stop these
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: monkeys from tearing your face off? Nothing, nothing, Christmas spirit,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Christmas spirit, and I guess they were well fed.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I I got noting Ario jar I, this was like
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: a tiger looking moment, like you know.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: What I mean, We're like, yeah, a head and held dagger,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? There was just like and
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: there was I don't know was there an option because
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: of course being young kids who had only ever seen
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: these things on the children with Britannica or some world
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: book that was at the home of the house, because
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: you're sure shit didn't see him an art Maybe the
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: odd time when they go to Zubblin Zoo you might
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: have caught a glimpse of one of these things. But
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: it was like somebody handed you a alien or kmodo dragon,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? It was like, well,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: this is this okay? And as a grown ass man now, Tom,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: I know I wouldn't know how to hold a monkey,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: and people make of that what you will.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with Jerry, if I saw somebody coming
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: at me with that outbreak monkey in their hands, I'll
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: be like, you can keep that ship to yourself. I'm
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: back to the bunker, thank you very much, Because I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have too much knowledge on them now.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: But I'm all good for a bowler right now, say.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: The naivety of childer in the countryside. Of course, when
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: somebody hands you a monkey for a photograph and the
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Santas involved Knowlton scenario perms like the mother had an
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: amazing perm at the time. The father even had even
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: had a bit of a here. So it's that far back.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: We were just held the monkeys and we did what
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: we said, and we are apparently very happy about scenario.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: So you explained to me why we had monkeys, because
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: nobody in the family knows why there was monkeys.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm just hoping you're better educated.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: And the thing that maybe you can make it find
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: a true line between Santa Claus Tipperary and a couple
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: of fucking capture what is it called.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Monkeys. Here's the thing I don't know. I needn't bother
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: tell them my story, Tom, because I don't know way
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I'm topping that. But I want to say that the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: rule was on exotic pets in Ireland may not as
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: be as, may not be as lockdown as they are
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: another place. Because I I don't know if I ever
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: told you the story about the house up in Hulland
• 44:12

• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I will you know you're you're dead right. I think
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: we need to dig into this at a later date,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and I would I would love stories from people because
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I went to buy a wardrobe off a fellow one
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: time in a place called a Nire valley, right, like
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: sunlight doesn't shine in our valley. It is a beautiful place,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: but there's a certain period past the part of it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: in the border of con the Tiberian County Waterford, and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: you hait like you very quickly come off a very
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: nice drive of a road and you after a place
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: called Belly mccarberry, and you very quickly end up in
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: six fingered banjo playing district. Like I mean, you're like
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: the council don't go up these roads, like nobody goes
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: near this part, Like.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: You could be doing whatever you want to be doing.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: And I accident I got it wrong where the water
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: was to be picked up fine order, by the way,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: still have it, got.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: It for nothing? Jese as well worth the drive. But
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: I pulled into kind of a farmyard that wasn't a
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: farmyard it was there was no gates or nothing. You
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: just ended up in it if you didn't take the bend.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: And I ended up and I stood out and this
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: got a cracked looking howl.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: One came out to me English accent of course, and said, yeah,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm looking for such and such a
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: fellow eyes up the road and I just see like
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: nineteen donkeys and like a peacock wandering around you a
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: donkey century. She goes when paper can't keep their pets,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you know, And I'm looking, going you can't keep your pets, you.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Can't Like this was the most insane.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Looking and when I had a brief look, that was
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: like a multitude out of honor mad ship back there.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering Ireland is a place where, you know, Big.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Brother isn't quite here yet with the cameras and all
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: the rest of us.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd love for a later date for people
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: to compile some stories of some mad shit that's been
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: kept around Ireland.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I know this guy with crocodiles and kill Kenny. But
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: we'll come back to that. But anyway, that's.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: That's a whole other thing. Why is he got crocodiles
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: and kil Kenny?
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: No, he does actually have He now has a watchman
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: collar like a reptile farm that drink come in view
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: like he is a qualify he knows his shit apparently,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: but by all accounts talk about I can't remember who's
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: talk about. Like he'll hand you like you know, a
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: monitor that hasn't eaten in it, the or two and
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: you're going, see, all right, he's looking at me funny. Yes, sure,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I might actually takehim back off you there actually hasn't
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: had it in a few days, and they'll they'll throw
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: him like a half rabbit or something, just the pike.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Keep the fucker quiet, like, do you know? So there's
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the there's the lovely irish lax to somebody's carry on to,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: like not full on Joe exotic, but there is a there's.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Probably the people that keep these fucking things tend to
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: be mental, do you know what I mean? So I'd
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: love stories for further down the line now, monkey story not.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: We haven't concluded it because we don't have an answer
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: for it. I'll hit the family up again and see
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: what the crack is if we know the story about it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: But nobody seemed anywhere, nobody had any stories as to
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: why nobody had to. Nobody asked the question because of
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Santa Claus and the eighties, and you don't ask questions
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: in the eighties.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: To people of authority. We know that in Ireland, so
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: we just went with the whole fucking scenario. So we're
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: none the wiser as to why I had monkeys with
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: me as a toddler. By the way, a toddler, I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: didn't have all my teeth even at this stage. I
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: don't think little unlike the monkeys.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: But you really a good thing, Tom. If you had
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: all your teeth, he would have seen you as a threat.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Probably would have looked I looked plump, to have was
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: a plump fist.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Che You were a pleasant face, young man, brutal, wonderful memory, Tom.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: And Santa was in there as well. That's the thing
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: with these things. It's like, yeah, Santa was there, but
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: you know more on that, and he was.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: He was a cliff note on the scenario. To be
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: honest with you know that I think about the monkeys.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: It was. Yeah, well I'm gonna where I'll tell you
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: what sticks out in my mind of where I saw Santa.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: And it was probably the first time I ever saw Tom. Mmmm.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: So I was deep in the water at this stage.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Were you at the back?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Like did you did you sneak downstairs as a plant
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: he little child and find a take a corn flick?
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the no. I remember seeing Santa in dundalg Shopping Center.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: I got a badge from the encounter that said I
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: saw Santa in dundg Shopping Center. If I go puch
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: from the house, there we go proof. I will still
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: have that badge I saw Santa in dund Dog Shopping
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Center with a picture of Santa at dund Dog Shopping Center. Great.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: And I would have been about five, and I'd seem
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: to recall that this was the first time I would
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: have seen Santa if I saw I sincerely that I
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: saw him before them. Again, Remember Tom, this is nineteen
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: eighty four, nineteen eighty five, Like it's not a done thing,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: right then, you know?
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a strong plastidity. You had never seen
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: him before.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and and I had an older sister, Yes,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: but I just genuinely don't know that that we would
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: have went to him before, because he certainly wouldn't have
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: come to Carrot Mcross if he did. You know, I
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: certainly didn't see him. I'd be honest, Dundalk was the.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Place to be on past past experiences. Now as a parent,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I would and if anybody's gone, yeah we got a title,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: we should take him.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: He said, wait because unless his monkeys.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: About three years ago I think, yeah, he was two
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: or three or whatever, and we took him too much.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: He was like what he was sending, I'm not into
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: this at all at all and all at all.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: So really yeah, even last year he was like he
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: was very excited, but like at the same time, it's
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: like they overagged the put in the small bit, you know,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the elves and stuff like that.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: But this year, in all fairness, we could have held
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: off to Leaven Now I remember until now it was
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: for us. But now, like the other day, he went
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: out of his mind with excitement. I do. I do
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: remember bringing air we Man to Santa when he was
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: quite small, and we probably over egged it. No, probably
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: about it, Thomas, the story comes out. We absolutely overagged it.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Of course it did because he had to tell Santa
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: what he wanted for Christmas, but he thought he was
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: getting it there. And then do you see what I'm saying?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: And as a Santa is known to do in a situation,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, thank you very much, and I'll be
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: sure to get you the Thomas superstation or whatever it
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: might be. But in the meantime, why don't you have
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: this coloring book or you know this put it together yourself,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: we mechano car or whatever it might be. And my
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: kid was like for clempt, he was just like, I
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: hate I hate Christmas. Now Christmas and all of you,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I hate you. You sit on a throne of lies,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: all right. So and again that was you know, he
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: was too young to understand. And maybe we didn't explain
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: a thoroughly form. We assume that we made assumptions about
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: what he knew and didn't know turned out to be false.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: But getting back to dun Dog Shopping Center, I was told,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: as a young man five years of age, that we
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: were going to go see Santa in dun Dog Shopping Center.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, buckle in Santi of the
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: North Pole, It's coming to the Pale. Yeah, yeah, And
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Then they turn around and said, and he's flying in. Yeah.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, right, no problem, flying in reindeer. I
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: got you reindeer and a sleigh. That's Santa Ah. They're like, no,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: he's flying in in a helicopter. Whatta Charlie, Hockey level
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: fucking centers right, this is Goalway raises Santa Clause in
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: a helicopter landing in Dundg shopping center. This was obviously
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: he didn't he didn't arrive every day in a helicopter.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: This was the first day of it, the kickoff, the
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: big the Big brew, the weekly what have you. Santi's
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: arriving and Dune Dog shopping center in a helicopter. And
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I was five years of age. I was like, okay,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: I have questions, why is he not just taking the
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: reindeer in? But regardless of that, you're telling me, I'm
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: getting to see Santa and a helicopter naessip Right. So
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: we went out and it was myself and my sister
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: and I dare say we'd we had cousins at the time,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: and I dare say we would have went out with them,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I think, rather than Osco ourselves. Who's to say was
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: back in the daytime where you could like land, you know,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: twelve kids in the back of the camel driver wherever
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: you wanted. We just got that. I can guarantee you
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: your two cars were brought.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: And I was in one of these situations where like, wow,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: who who back in the day had an eight seater nobody, no, no, no,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: no it was it was a fod orion or of
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: some sort, and there was children bet into it every
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: which way. Yeah, so we're outside, we're in the in
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: the car park outside the dog shopping center, which is
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: no longer with us anymore, Tom, it's it's no longer.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Then they knocked it down and built like you know,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: you know the tescos that are up on stilts and
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: you can park on uneath them and the test goes upstairs.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I always feel at some stage when you know, they
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: become the machines, do become sentient, you know, if we don't,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: if we don't end up in a nuclear holocaust or
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: the aliens takers that the likes of those tests, because
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: there's another one in the exact same in Loot. It's
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the biggest one in Ireland of Arety, the one of
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the nuts and same story.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: It's all up in piles.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: But I feel when the machines become sentient, that thing's
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: just going to fucking run away.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: It's gonna scurry away like a little animated microchip. And
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, like the old shopping center and
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: then dog was there for forty years, and like do
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: you know the way like sometimes people tell you like
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: a building has an echo, you know, you know, you
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: can stand it and you can just feel the fucking
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: ghosts of people walking through it. That's that's how I
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: felt about that building. There, that building, and there's a
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: nightclub and character across which is called the Fiddler's niccl
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Belt Fiddler's Elbow Nightclub. And it shut down and it
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: became it became like a big gifts and things, which
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: be kind of like a big deals you know, Okay,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: it's a big deal. It's like a big sort of
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: discount supermarket sort of place. But when I go into
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: that place to get like hot plants and whatever the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: hell it might be, like I can feel the dance
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: floor move. I can feel like this is where I
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: shifted so and so, and this is where I got
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: sucked out for fighting, and this is where I got
• 56:11

• 56:21
  Speaker 2: has gone. Maybe it's just as well who used to
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: say all this to say? I stood outside that goddamn place,
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: five years of age for three hours in mid December,
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: waiting on Santa to get fucking clearance from the tower
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: to land is ass there in the same helicopter that
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: the Ira sprung boys from Mount Giant Well told actually
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: had a sound about it, right, Yeah, it was that
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: kind of It was that kind of helicopter. And here's
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: something they don't tell you as a five year old child.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Helicopters are incredibly.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Loud, unbelievable, especially the eighties ones. Yeah, and it's not like,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not like airwolf noise and not like
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: and you can still hear the lads chatting away and
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: all this like it was deafening. The wind was like
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: throwing people around the place, like and it's all children,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Like they're flying everywhar the starting scene from Father Ted
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: where they actually get knocked onto the ground, like yeah.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Right, No, it's it's more like it's more like the
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Playboy Bunny scene in Apocalypse. Now, oh your man, it's
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: like your man's just like start the helicopter and the
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: boys jumping over the bridge of them that's it, only
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: like wee Fenian kids and done talk on like it's
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: like okay, you know, but this is getting close to
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: being like that incident in the Twilight Zone movie where
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: the fucking helicopter purned over and killed all them people.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Do you think that? Do you honestly think in nineteen
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: eighty five and then dog Shopping Center, they had us
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: a safe distance away from a helicopter much like Fred
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Dibden dropping a chimney.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you they fucking didn't make him exactly fill
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: with a fag and a flag capt going hey, come back,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: come back, hey back, but go back now, get back now,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: get back there on up.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: The road, there's a helicopter going to land here, and
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Sandy landed and like he got out of it right,
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: and he was to my eyes unaccustomed to flight. Like
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: he he looked terrified and he needed like the side
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: door opened and buys to help him down out of
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: the helicopter and to hold his hat on his head
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: before whipped into the roller blades and just sort of
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: like stuff him into the shopping center like he was
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: going into court, you know what I mean, keep your head.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: And then after that you had the joy of waiting
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: in a queue to get into a hust to Santy
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: to get you know, your your little I think they
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: don't see anymore, Tom, You remember the things that used
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: to be. It was a bit the size of a
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: copy book plastic, but it was like a pinball thing
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: that you pulled down a thing and a ball shot
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: up into it and where it landed, it landed, and
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: then you show got to get the ball back down
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: to the bottom.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: And it was the precursor to all the oaks that
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: had little air pumps and water yeah yeah.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. And so so you get one of them
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: in a paper bag. And I can remember the paper
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: bag more clearly than I can remember Sandy. Just the
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: white paper bag with blue writing on it, AH, with
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: this thing in it, And that sticks out my mind
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: of the time I went to see Sandy. That that
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: became a staple.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Alright, I don't think we had that one, I'm sure
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: it right. The substage was the the one by one
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: security hut style garden shit yeah, gazebo sort of a thing.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did sucking up inside in any place, And all
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, now you're in an hord pole, like
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: you know, because it's well, it's timber, of course it's
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: a north pole like you know, Yes, of course staple
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: and some of that, and all the all the elms
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: of them dog accidents gone into sy Have you got
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: just a election box? You better good by a guy
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: allow Jesus Christ. But like that, I remember, like that
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: was the time when I was like into it, into it,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: like fully invested. I think about the time was tom
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: It was nineteen eighty five, like you know, like shaking
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Stevens on the radio, Gary Glitter back in, banging out
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: another rock and roll Christmas a wonderful time to be alive,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: of course, but also fresh new hits, you know. I mean,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Christmas is good now, there's no doubt Christmas is good.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: But to be able to suspend this belief is getting
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: more and more difficult for scenarios, you know what I mean,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Like because there's so much more information out that, there's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: so much stimuli been thrown at children nowadays.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: But like you wouldn't have heard hiding her hay tail
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: other than pictures and books of Santi. Prior to that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: of your five years of existence, you would have only
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: just heard tell much like, you know, fucking the Bogeyman
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: or the Benchi or whatever he was creature up until
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: that point. And I guarantee you, like looking back at
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: it now in your letter years, with your bust at
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: hand and your new haircut, you're going, yeah, check this
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: guy out getting out of a chopper or whatever. You
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you had the emotions of a lad seen
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: the actual a team god and yeah, you know, and
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: everything else mixed in between.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: I did. But I'm sure I was like you, Tom,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I was like you, there had to be
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: something going on in your we toddler mine going, I
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: don't remember monkeys in the story. I was there, like,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: I don't remember helicopters. Something's not entirely Why am I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: telling this man? Have I not sent him a letter?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: What are we doing here? There was just something a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: little bit off. But I was like, hey, I'll, I'll
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: see a helicopter with the best men, So I will.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing, you'll, You'll children are a lot
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: smarter than you give them credit for it. They will
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: fucking ride out a situation to see how it pans out.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: They yeah, go on, let me tell me, tell me
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: what you have here, helicopter? Is it all right? They're not.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: They're not just got a for fox sake helicopter, you know,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: especially when they're five, when you're into the fives, which
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: I now know what the fives are about, the cuteness
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: levels and the the chess moves that they put pull
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: just to get to where they need to get to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: because they don't they don't have the mind clutter with
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: things about mortgages and you know, life insurance and stuff
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: like that. So I guarantee at the same time you're
