- 1:50Speaker 1: send them in, keep them in boarding school, the whole lot,
- 1:52Speaker 1: one or the other.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Not to get into it, Tom, Not to get into
- 1:56Speaker 2: it before we get into the show proper, because everybody
- 2:00Speaker 2: knows this is a comedy podcast. But there's this whole
- 2:03Speaker 2: new notion of homeschool, and then you should school your
- 2:06Speaker 2: kids at home. Now back in the old panide as.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I believe we're referring to Tom. We homeschool the kids
- 2:12Speaker 2: because there was no school the center. And I gotta
- 2:13Speaker 2: tell you, Paul, I don't know that I do it
- 2:15Speaker 2: willingly for much longer than we had to do it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It seems that like the sort of stuff that if
- 2:20Speaker 1: somebody was willing, I'll tell you now, Jar, we went
- 2:24Speaker 1: to a thing yesterday, And I'll tell you a thing
- 2:26Speaker 1: that we went yesterday, right.
- 2:30Speaker 2: There was yesterday being Sunday.
- 2:32Speaker 1: We got invite it very kindly by university constrall Limerick
- 2:35Speaker 1: to a I won't lie. I didn't read exactly what
- 2:39Speaker 1: it was. But it was a kid's play kind of thing,
- 2:41Speaker 1: is what I was thinking it was. Was called and
- 2:43Speaker 1: it was an old story.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Will a lot of people have heard it.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Not much of a story really in the story, but
- 2:46Speaker 1: it's Peter and the Wolf, a very very old story, yea.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And it was to be an adaptation of sorts of that.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Didn't really look into it much, got excited about it,
- 2:56Speaker 1: went to it.
- 2:57Speaker 2: It was an pretty.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Much the Irish simply orchestra were there and Hector Hooker
- 3:02Speaker 1: gone while he kind of narrated the story loosely, I'll
- 3:09Speaker 1: be honest with you, don't there was a lot of
- 3:11Speaker 1: There was quite quite a few air gaps.
- 3:13Speaker 2: There, a bit of rehearsal, A couple of rehearsals.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Wouldn't gone a street.
- 3:19Speaker 2: It was. It was loose.
- 3:20Speaker 1: It was loose.
- 3:23Speaker 2: But my lad's sitting there wearing.
- 3:25Speaker 1: A wolf mask, basically this terrifying looking thing. He's looking
- 3:29Speaker 1: at me. Gone, how long is this guy gonna stay talking?
- 3:33Speaker 1: And how do you mean? He goes, when's the wolf
- 3:35Speaker 1: coming out? I'm like, Ah, we're supposed to kind of
- 3:37Speaker 1: imagine the wolf by the sound of that drum over there.
- 3:40Speaker 1: He does, Yeah, drums and finances.
- 3:42Speaker 2: But where's the wolf?
- 3:43Speaker 1: I mean, I hear, I actually hear what you're saying, goes,
- 3:47Speaker 1: But serious, that guy's going to stay.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Talking about that's hectero hooky. Gone, he's not bad, he goes.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I'm done with him.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah, we're done.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But when when we're when we were walking out, there
- 3:55Speaker 1: was a lot of kind of people that would go
- 3:57Speaker 1: to things like that, and they're a lot more work
- 4:00Speaker 1: moccasins and bang homeschooled often and trousers that they stitch themselves,
- 4:05Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And you know what you know,
- 4:07Speaker 1: you knows about these people. They also into unbelievably expensive
- 4:12Speaker 1: all of us, right, bags of cash, do you know
- 4:17Speaker 1: what I mean?
- 4:17Speaker 2: The bags of cash.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But yet they're do you know, in touch with nature
- 4:21Speaker 1: and they're gonna go ground themselves, and they're gonna homeschool
- 4:24Speaker 1: the kids. And you can see by the mad heads
- 4:26Speaker 1: and the youngsters they're going to be mad jokes when
- 4:29Speaker 1: they grow up, like you're going, you gotta you gotta
- 4:32Speaker 1: see what's out the side the fore walls, and you
- 4:34Speaker 1: can't be going to things like this. Because my lad
- 4:36Speaker 1: was said exactly with exactly the expression every one of
- 4:39Speaker 1: his friends would have gone, when's the wolf coming out?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Because I'm done with this fellow from mead slash Navin.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I have no interest in what he has to say, right,
- 4:49Speaker 1: who who up there? And you're like, no, this lad

- 6:14Speaker 1: for a Dibner reference into a geek last Friday. And
- 6:20Speaker 1: you know how I knew it was a good educated
- 6:22Speaker 1: At least forty percent of the people got it because
- 6:25Speaker 1: this lippy old bird in the front row who'd only
- 6:27Speaker 1: just landed now, and and she was from and she
- 6:30Speaker 1: was to ask us Jesus Christ, We've got Fred Dibner,

- 6:44Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Fred Divna, I wonder what
- 6:47Speaker 2: he's up to these days. But regardless of that, ladies
- 6:49Speaker 2: and gentlemen, this is the Tom and Jerry Show where
- 6:52Speaker 2: every week we break up a couple of segments. I'm
- 6:55Speaker 2: having a little bit of crack with your good selves
- 6:57Speaker 2: here and we're going to kick off the sho We'll
- 7:00Speaker 2: look at the big happening of the week gone by,
- 7:03Speaker 2: what we call the scuttle boat, don't you know, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 2: the rockets, the weekly what have you. This is a
- 7:09Speaker 2: very complicated case, Mad, You know a lot of I's
- 7:11Speaker 2: a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,
- 7:13Speaker 2: and a lot of strands to keep in my head. Man,
- 7:17Speaker 2: Ni Tom, We've had some long lean years in the
- 7:23Speaker 2: Tom and Jerry Show where there wasn't much news that
- 7:25Speaker 2: we could talk about. Throw those news, not all those
- 7:27Speaker 2: news you could talk about, and every and then we
- 7:28Speaker 2: follow our back to talking about sport, which you're a
- 7:33Speaker 2: don't know a whole pile about. Would that be fair?
- 7:35Speaker 1: I know three sports there and that's it. Anything outside
- 7:37Speaker 1: of those sports I know, and I mean this, and
- 7:40Speaker 1: I tell people this all the time, staying in your
- 7:42Speaker 1: lane and.
- 7:42Speaker 2: True be told.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I probably only know about one sport. That's the God's
- 7:46Speaker 1: honest truth. Yeah, I'm just gonna actually pay it right
- 7:48Speaker 1: back down to one sport. And outside of that.
- 7:52Speaker 2: You know one sport time, you know, you know, ball ball,
- 7:56Speaker 2: it's all the one to me, rugby ball, that's all.
- 7:58Speaker 2: It's all like all I got people lands on a
- 8:01Speaker 2: field with a ball there.
- 8:04Speaker 1: You know it keeps changing too much, that's sort of
- 8:06Speaker 1: center's just change. If they keep the same players for
- 8:09Speaker 1: like forty years on a team, then I'd probably warm
- 8:12Speaker 1: to it a bit, but they just keep on moving
- 8:13Speaker 1: the furniture and I don't know, I can't. I can't
- 8:16Speaker 1: keep up with these kids.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Well, speaking of moving the furniture, one team in particular
- 8:19Speaker 2: might be rearranging the trophy cabinet this week because and
- 8:22Speaker 2: we wouldn't normally talk about this, but we felt like
- 8:25Speaker 2: we had to give a shout out to Liverpool FC,
- 8:29Speaker 2: who this week claimed the Premier League trophy. Not a
- 8:33Speaker 2: thing that we would really care about one way or another,
- 8:35Speaker 2: but Tom, there's just something about Liverpool, the city, I
- 8:39Speaker 2: dare say, the football club, the people that warms the
- 8:42Speaker 2: heart of the Irish. Do you know what.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I've been there twice, I think possibly three times, and
- 8:48Speaker 1: it's one of those places where you're.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Like, am I really in England? Oh? I am?
- 8:52Speaker 1: They're strip clubs every year?
- 8:54Speaker 2: But is that you're It's that that's how you get it.
- 9:02Speaker 2: If you wake up in a strange land, you geo
- 9:03Speaker 2: locate yourself, you look around and they're like, oh, whispers
- 9:06Speaker 2: angel feet, Okay, I know where I am?
- 9:09Speaker 1: What a specific strip giant angel feet?
- 9:18Speaker 2: I always to him sorry, I always tell you my
- 9:21Speaker 2: strip club story. I'm sorry if you've heard it before
- 9:23Speaker 2: in the on the podcast. But I was walking through
- 9:27Speaker 2: time one 'ty and like we'd get fled.
- 9:29Speaker 1: For strip clubs.
- 9:30Speaker 2: On't you can pass a certain age in your man
- 9:32Speaker 2: that just look at you and go like ah, dirtback
- 9:33Speaker 2: here you go. And there's this guy and he was
- 9:36Speaker 2: handing out flares. We get them for casinos as well.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I'm sure you do too, right, And I'm walking down
- 9:42Speaker 2: towards the laughter lunge and again he's like flaring for
- 9:44Speaker 2: a strip club along the way and he's like, hey,
- 9:46Speaker 2: why don't you come to someone? And so strip club?
- 9:48Speaker 2: I was like, ib already goes No, we've got beautiful girls,
- 9:50Speaker 2: beautiful girls from Poland, beautiful girls from Estonia, beautiful girls
- 9:53Speaker 2: from Ashbourne. I was like, oh, got a second here.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Now you can't actually know I would you know?
- 10:03Speaker 2: You kind of have. I mean, I'm curious now about
- 10:05Speaker 2: this beautiful girl from Ashbourne, just just the one just
- 10:09Speaker 2: got the got the matches is boss up jumped on
- 10:17Speaker 2: Collins JJ cabinets on the way back. Yeah yeah, I agree,
- 10:21Speaker 2: yeah yeah, But strip club's notwithstanding town Liverpool, the city
- 10:26Speaker 2: you say it's been in or twice and you say
- 10:28Speaker 2: that it feels it doesn't feel English, and you're not
- 10:32Speaker 2: wrong because a lot of people say that. I'm not
- 10:34Speaker 2: going to stand here before you and say that Liverpool
- 10:37Speaker 2: was built by the Irish. But we checked in, buddy,
- 10:39Speaker 2: We sure.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Did, like if you looked at it genuine if you're
- 10:41Speaker 1: looking on a map, though, it is so much closer
- 10:44Speaker 1: to Whales slash Dublin than it is to say London.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
- 10:49Speaker 1: It'd be some trick to get down to Cornwall from
- 10:52Speaker 1: from Liverpool. It'd be more tandier. You can both you know,
- 10:56Speaker 1: roll over to to the Ireland from it, and there's
- 10:59Speaker 1: like down to the years. But we'll go back to
- 11:01Speaker 1: the Italian nineteen ninety years when Ireland actually had a
- 11:05Speaker 1: soccer team compete with some level. But there was a
- 11:09Speaker 1: good few players in it that were you know, had
- 11:12Speaker 1: the accent, but they had Irish surnames, you know what
- 11:15Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, it seemed to be that that and
- 11:18Speaker 1: of course Men United of course had a few as well.
- 11:20Speaker 1: But Liverpool does seem to be it seems to be
- 11:22Speaker 1: an unspoken thing where it's completely acceptable to be you
- 11:26Speaker 1: know in Liverpool, but have an Irish an Irish surname,
- 11:29Speaker 1: have an Irish passport, almost almost link yourself to being
- 11:33Speaker 1: not English.
- 11:34Speaker 2: But your Scouts slash Irish. You kind of guess, yeah,
- 11:36Speaker 2: you don't. We don't vote Tory up here. It's it's
- 11:40Speaker 2: it's not for nothing to time there we as you
- 11:42Speaker 2: say yourself, Liverpool is on the left the whole of
- 11:45Speaker 2: that whole mainland.
- 11:47Speaker 1: It'd be the Sligo of.
- 11:50Speaker 2: The Slagos right of England. So if you're going to
- 11:52Speaker 2: cut across on a ferry, you know, for whatever reasons, unemployment, famine,
- 11:57Speaker 2: pick one statue, it's the first town in England that
- 12:02Speaker 2: you'll hit. Now you got to go past a whole
- 12:03Speaker 2: lot of whales to get there. But look, all right,
- 12:06Speaker 2: fair enough? Was that again?
- 12:10Speaker 1: Was that an ac DC song?
- 12:11Speaker 2: A whole lot of whales?
- 12:13Speaker 1: Snow is a whole lot of rosies.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Like I said, you'd beat, you'd be you'd be a
- 12:18Speaker 2: picky man fleeing the famin and tom to land in
- 12:20Speaker 2: Liverpool and say, era, fuck it, I'll push on to Newcastle.
- 12:23Speaker 2: To be fair, it wouldn't it did? Just do yet
- 12:26Speaker 2: that's you're like grand look just to be off the
- 12:28Speaker 2: boat exactly. And I dare say, Tom, you know you
- 12:34Speaker 2: didn't just have to come from Dublin across although there
- 12:36Speaker 2: is like sort of like a trading back and forth
- 12:39Speaker 2: between the ports of Liverpool and Dublin and the coal
- 12:41Speaker 2: ships and all this kind of crack, but they would
- 12:45Speaker 2: have come up from south as well in Ireland. Basically
- 12:48Speaker 2: we're heading over to mainland England. Liverpool was your first
- 12:53Speaker 2: port of call and a lot of boys went forward and.
- 12:54Speaker 1: That well it was yeah, I mean you need only
- 12:58Speaker 1: look at the back and forth we trade can forth
- 13:00Speaker 1: with him. We have what's his name, Nathan Carter and
- 13:03Speaker 1: his brother. Do you know that was? I mean some
- 13:05Speaker 1: would say a fair deal or thousands and thousands of
- 13:09Speaker 1: you know, construction workers and whatnot. But rock me baby
- 13:14Speaker 1: like a wagon wheel, which whatever the fuck that means.
- 13:20Speaker 2: But but what was I going to say as well, Tom,
- 13:24Speaker 2: and not for nothing as well Liverpool's when you speak
- 13:26Speaker 2: about Liverpool's exports, look at the Beatles. I'm gonna tell
- 13:29Speaker 2: you listener, Lennon and McCartney, both Irish ancestry Lenin the
- 13:35Speaker 2: sympathizer of the IRA. It would see up their way.
- 13:37Speaker 2: You can't move for Lenon's.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. Yeah, Lenond's glow up your Neckati would yeah.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Yeah, you know have so many Starkey's it must be said.
- 13:47Speaker 1: To be fair. I suppose McCarty is his cork name
- 13:50Speaker 1: as well, so you know there's definitely a Tiger, you know,
- 13:54Speaker 1: well the Beatles, so.
- 13:56Speaker 2: You reckon as well. Now we have a wee bit
- 13:57Speaker 2: of cork came up there too.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I would imagine, so I would have meant and so
- 14:00Speaker 1: with the McCarthy anyways, it's definitely a Courtney McCartney. I
- 14:03Speaker 1: should say it's could be told. Listen, I'm talking about
- 14:06Speaker 1: behold here the most important thing about Liverpool. It's nothing
- 14:09Speaker 1: to with their soccer club. Fair playty lads, I say
- 14:13Speaker 1: a fair pool. I didn't think you were doing well
- 14:15Speaker 1: judging by a couple of fellows I heard a couple
- 14:16Speaker 1: of weeks ago given out about you because they're die hard.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Are like, it must be mad for Liverpool LANs or
- 14:23Speaker 1: even British people in general to think there's Irish people
- 14:26Speaker 1: with tattoos of their of their team's logo, a sport
- 14:32Speaker 1: invented Harvard grown and still played only in Liverpool, and they're.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Like, it's it's that's strange to me as well.
- 14:42Speaker 1: That's that would be my like. I like rugby, but
- 14:44Speaker 1: I like the rugby team that's just up the road.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you know, I
- 14:49Speaker 1: mean from here, I cannot wrap my head around going,
- 14:52Speaker 1: hey we be chialling what what it.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Must be known? As well? Tom, just before we straight
- 14:58Speaker 2: off the football club all together that I give two
- 15:01Speaker 2: folks who wins at football one way or another, and
- 15:03Speaker 2: I couldn't name you three Liverpool players like I'm still
- 15:06Speaker 2: there going like, you know, does John Barnes still get
- 15:09Speaker 2: his place like that?
- 15:09Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Ian Rush packed it in
- 15:11Speaker 1: a year or two ago.
- 15:12Speaker 2: So that's but I did like your man Jurgen club
- 15:17Speaker 2: that managed them over the last couple of years.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I liked him. I liked him good.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Laddin came across well in interviews and just seemed like
- 15:24Speaker 2: good cracks. So I wish if nothing else, I wish
- 15:26Speaker 2: him well. And I suppose the team that with them.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think he's I think he's gone.
- 15:32Speaker 1: He's gone, but there's nothing really more important. And I
- 15:36Speaker 1: think if I'm looking from the outside in at Liverpool
- 15:39Speaker 1: in general and all the great things that they're done.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Football was construction wise, housing, homing, taking in the Irish
- 15:45Speaker 1: as they did. But really the most interesting thing, I
- 15:47Speaker 1: think from our point of view has to be the
- 15:51Speaker 1: fucking accent.
- 15:52Speaker 2: There's nothing like it in the world.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I mean there is if you're not if you're an
- 15:58Speaker 1: unrelatable accent to any other place on the planet.
- 16:02Speaker 2: If you're at home, listener to this now and you're
- 16:04Speaker 2: not doing a Liverpool accent in your head right now?
- 16:08Speaker 2: What are you doing? I why not keep it out
- 16:11Speaker 2: of my head?
- 16:11Speaker 1: Right now?
- 16:12Speaker 2: There's a guy.
- 16:13Speaker 1: There's a guy, and he pops up in my timeline
- 16:15Speaker 1: and off he plays, he plays, he fights for the UFC,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and if to give him his due, he doesn't. He
- 16:21Speaker 1: doesn't pare down his accent one bit. His name is
- 16:25Speaker 1: Paddy Pimlet and he's the guy.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Yeah that fighter. Yeah, great hair and everything, you know
- 16:30Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 16:30Speaker 1: He's a very funny, kind of affable chap. But would
- 16:33Speaker 1: he like he will do. He'll make no allowances for
- 16:36Speaker 1: the Americans not understanding it. He doesn't care, which I
- 16:39Speaker 1: really appreciate, you know what I mean? He doesn't. You know,
- 16:42Speaker 1: Rory McElroy win in six months had an American accent.
- 16:45Speaker 2: But you know what I mean.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Also your you're working with Americans, and he's it's for
- 16:48Speaker 1: the American audience.
- 16:49Speaker 2: He hears it.
- 16:50Speaker 1: But this fit is just sitting and going Chicken, me
- 16:55Speaker 1: keep up, chick. Why you're putting some y fucking There's
- 17:01Speaker 1: so much effort gone into that world, Chick.
- 17:04Speaker 2: It must be said, Tom, even if you can't do
- 17:06Speaker 2: act since and it's been proven on the Tom and
- 17:09Speaker 2: Jerry Show that I can't, like you know, pretty much
- 17:13Speaker 2: anybody could turn their hand to a Liverpool accent. You
- 17:16Speaker 2: just need to do. What you need to do is.
- 17:20Speaker 1: The mud guard of your voice needs to hit the
- 17:22Speaker 1: stones off the back of your throat, if you know
- 17:25Speaker 1: what I mean. When you hit the middle of a
- 17:26Speaker 1: c K, that's and you're off to the races.
- 17:28Speaker 2: So if you hit it, it's a chicken.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It's a chicken. But why would you leave there? Just
- 17:33Speaker 1: let the mud guard hit the stones and just and
- 17:35Speaker 1: just hit it. Just a chicken and you're a chicken.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Just dragging out that bit long, kind of like you're
- 17:42Speaker 1: asking a question about the chicken too. There's a bit
- 17:45Speaker 1: of an inflection in it, like.
- 17:46Speaker 2: A chicken jaws, a chicken hit have a jaw dash
- 17:55Speaker 2: eating a chicken.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Like there's there's I mean, you're not too far away,
- 17:59Speaker 1: you know, and you've got I'm sure we've talked about Oasis.
- 18:02Speaker 1: We've done the Oasis accent, We've done the North of
- 18:04Speaker 1: England acts and a regulas you'll hear Fred, Yeah, yeah,
- 18:08Speaker 1: you know, and they're the kind of their own thing.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Like you get to Joe the accent which goes a
- 18:12Speaker 1: bit up and downly, but you know, you can almost
- 18:14Speaker 1: it's like they've kind of just keep the most closed
- 18:17Speaker 1: from all the coal plants they're in the area. And
- 18:20Speaker 1: then you got the no, no, no no.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Then you know that's just a bit droll because I
- 18:26Speaker 2: think you know that, you know, Tea is really.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Good with the problems logious, But then there's nothing relates
- 18:31Speaker 1: to the Liverpool accent.
- 18:32Speaker 2: It's just this fucking madness and we're looking into it.
- 18:36Speaker 2: There's a good reason for that inderture. Yes, indeed, it's
- 18:39Speaker 2: it's it's it is a coddle of accents. Tom just
- 18:42Speaker 2: thrown into it, and not for nothing. A wee bit
- 18:45Speaker 2: of Dublin and a wee bit of as you say yourself,
- 18:47Speaker 2: a wee bit of West Cork.
- 18:47Speaker 1: There there is, and I no doubt as well because
- 18:51Speaker 1: they are so close to North Wales and the Welsh
- 18:54Speaker 1: accents and the Bristolian accent have a bit of a
- 18:57Speaker 1: sing song anything which they reckon. There was trade routes
- 18:59Speaker 1: down to as a result of that, and that's how
- 19:01Speaker 1: they kind of traded the up and down, the up
- 19:04Speaker 1: and down.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Then you know you're absolutely right, Hown, because I was
- 19:06Speaker 2: there saying to myself, now, Cork lads caming off a
- 19:08Speaker 2: long way to go to Liverpool. But no, it was
- 19:10Speaker 2: a port, don't you know. It was a port for
- 19:12Speaker 2: trading and all that kind of thing. And I would
- 19:14Speaker 2: have been saying, shepping routes down to Cork as well.
- 19:16Speaker 2: God I'm slow on the update to day. I'm not
- 19:18Speaker 2: going to tell you too much too much, Sunshine, buddy, Your.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Places like can have in Wales where they still speak Welsh,
- 19:24Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you're getting, you're getting,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and it's not a million miles off when you get
- 19:28Speaker 1: to West Cork. Then you know you end up in
- 19:29Speaker 1: West Cork, West Cork and before you know what, then
- 19:32Speaker 1: you're talking about things before then you swing back up
- 19:35Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now you're saying things, I'll
- 19:37Speaker 1: have a Piccadian cook please, my fan way do you
- 19:39Speaker 1: know there's there's not a million miles and the difference,
- 19:42Speaker 1: so there is a single sounding things. You can hear
- 19:44Speaker 1: that getting into the Liverpool because of course Liverpool is
- 19:47Speaker 1: just fucking really I'm just really kind of sad all
- 19:50Speaker 1: the fucking time, you know, I'm just sound sound like
- 19:54Speaker 1: what's so f And then you because you're only across
- 19:57Speaker 1: the water, you got it, there's a harshness comes into
- 19:59Speaker 1: it from the Dublin side of things, because that's there's
- 20:03Speaker 1: a bit of.
- 20:05Speaker 2: I will say, Tom, the one that the one that
- 20:07Speaker 2: gets me if you if you doubt that there's any
- 20:09Speaker 2: link between the Dublin accent and the Liverpool accent. What
- 20:13Speaker 2: do they keep as a pet that's not a dog? Cat? Cat?
- 20:21Speaker 1: What do they wear around their head? Ah?
- 20:27Speaker 2: What did they do to a dog? What did they
- 20:29Speaker 2: give a dog? What did they give a good dog?
- 20:31Speaker 2: They give a good Yeah we can do this all.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Even yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what did what did the
- 20:36Speaker 1: dog do? He did?
- 20:39Speaker 2: That's a really good thing. That's a really good point. Actually, yeah, yeah,
- 20:41Speaker 2: that's that's probably the one.
- 20:43Speaker 1: But the one I'm joined the notion of the city
- 20:47Speaker 1: something Welsh thing and the fun you know what I mean,
- 20:49Speaker 1: because there's a bit of fun Dublin till you know
- 20:52Speaker 1: what I mean. They're leaned very heavily into the ideas,
- 20:57Speaker 1: you know. And what was it you had got You
- 20:59Speaker 1: had turned a dub a couple of good maybe ten
- 21:01Speaker 1: or fifteen episodes back, and you said something, you'd said,
- 21:04Speaker 1: the hell it's what did you say? Was the moon?
- 21:07Speaker 2: It was? The moon was one that was the That
- 21:10Speaker 2: was my wee girl, like you know, it was looked
- 21:11Speaker 2: at it the meal and I was like, no.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Yes, it's like stemally stepped across my grave.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Just you said, it's dreadful for this, the Sons of
- 21:21Speaker 2: Old Star. Ah right, But what got me was that
- 21:26Speaker 2: was the plates. The plates, the plates, the plates, Yeah,
- 21:31Speaker 2: the plates, the plates. Oh yeah, okay, not just the plates,
- 21:36Speaker 2: the plate plight plates. So you're right.
- 21:39Speaker 1: So it's the kind of the y version of the
- 21:41Speaker 1: two bottoms of your mouth. You can see that, you know,
- 21:43Speaker 1: there's a the plates.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Yeah slapped I slapped it out of myself a really
- 21:47Speaker 2: quick time.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Oh Jesus said, the plates. Oh my god, that's really
- 21:51Speaker 1: really yeah.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I mean, but the seal on the door of the
- 21:55Speaker 2: morning closed when I.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Said it did, yeah, there's no there's the you actually
- 21:59Speaker 1: had a wet a wax thing that cracked open. You
- 22:02Speaker 1: can never return now as a result of it. But
- 22:05Speaker 1: apparently they because just looks at it here and of
- 22:07Speaker 1: course they said the two. You know, when you literally
- 22:10Speaker 1: type in the origins of the Liverpool accent, they're saying
- 22:12Speaker 1: mostly Dublin, a lot of North Wales, obviously they're close proximity.
- 22:15Speaker 1: But then visiting Scandinavian sailors, Oh, I have those visiting
- 22:22Speaker 1: rum those visiting gorgeous bland bastards, thrown.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Up visa carryings, Norwegian sailors.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like the notion that
- 22:31Speaker 1: that is thrown in that in which you know, dirty, dirty, dirty.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I'm not sure where it fits in.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Maybe it's there's a posture side. Maybe it's not in
- 22:40Speaker 1: the Whirl, which isn't actually Liverpool. It's kind of the
- 22:42Speaker 1: other side of the peninsula.
- 22:43Speaker 2: We'll call it.
- 22:44Speaker 1: It's two. That's where Paula Brady would be from, you know,
- 22:47Speaker 1: the yes, and they call it the it's called the whirl.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I once got stuck in the whirl. It's not I
- 22:55Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know why you would call
- 22:57Speaker 1: it in a pearl, but it's my passport got stolen
- 23:02Speaker 1: and I had to wait for the boat to come back,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and I sat in the bleakest bar, and I mean
- 23:07Speaker 1: the fucking bleak ist bar. I never want to see
- 23:09Speaker 1: the world ever again. I saw nothing Scandinavian about the
- 23:12Speaker 1: place whatsoever, but only the yes. Perhaps maybe the audience
- 23:17Speaker 1: and the odd singing sunning thing might come from Scandinavian,
- 23:20Speaker 1: but for me, I'm here in Dublin. I'm here in
- 23:23Speaker 1: North Wales and by North Wales as well.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I hear cork, so.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I think that's that's probably. And you you pointing out
- 23:30Speaker 1: the the the plates, yeah, and the set and the
- 23:34Speaker 1: cat and yeah, I think.
- 23:36Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's all there. It's all there.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Now. Could you find where the Man of an Accent
- 23:42Speaker 1: was devised from? No, it was found under a stone
- 23:45Speaker 1: by a magic person.
- 23:46Speaker 2: I no, forget about it. The Man of Accent is.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I will hold my hands and admit now it's all
- 23:52Speaker 2: put on.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It is because I was working with normal ardl handling
- 23:57Speaker 1: the other night and then he turned it on and
- 23:59Speaker 1: I went Jesus Christ bright. And then he turned it
- 24:01Speaker 1: off again and oh what happened.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Taking control of this? That?
- 24:04Speaker 1: Well, it's just a fucking what sorcery is this?
- 24:07Speaker 2: We just we just use it for sympathy.
- 24:09Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, there is sympathy, Let on or.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Slow so that we can there's a sadness something. There
- 24:15Speaker 2: is a sadness in it and I get it. There's
- 24:17Speaker 2: a bleakness here. Well listen, there's no bleakness around Liverpool
- 24:20Speaker 2: because they're after winning. Well done your twenty first League Championship.
- 24:23Speaker 2: But oh god, go with them. If you're from Liverpool
- 24:26Speaker 2: and we are talking shy and you hate the Irish,
- 24:29Speaker 2: then by all means let us know in the comments.
- 24:31Speaker 2: But if you are a big fan of Liverpool Football Club,
- 24:35Speaker 2: I don't keep that yourself. We don't care about the football.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Let us know your thoughts or when one last thing
- 24:40Speaker 2: before we go off Liverpool, Tom real quick though. And
- 24:43Speaker 2: it goes back to gigging when you say you were
- 24:44Speaker 2: over in Liverpool, were you overding that frog and bucket thing?
- 24:47Speaker 2: I have done? I did the frog and bucket, Yes,
- 24:48Speaker 2: I know, I didn't. I didn't know. I think tragedy
- 24:51Speaker 2: of a comedy night. I didn't.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I actually just did a gig, a gig there. I know,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I was gigging somewhere else as well. No, I've never
- 24:58Speaker 1: done the frog and bucket. It's I think the frog
- 25:00Speaker 1: and bucket? Is it? Like? Is it a gun show?
- 25:02Speaker 2: Start?
- 25:03Speaker 1: I did the gun show in the comedy sellar in
- 25:07Speaker 1: uh In in London and it was fucking bleak. I
- 25:13Speaker 1: stayed on for almost my set and then somebody.

- 25:29Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't go on to the next front. Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't come all the way here for you
- 25:33Speaker 2: focused the gong away. But regardless of which, I'm gonna
- 25:35Speaker 2: give a gong to this segment and we're gonna move
- 25:36Speaker 2: on to segment two of the Tom and Jerry Show
- 25:39Speaker 2: where we take a look every week and I ladd
- 25:42Speaker 2: the crops up Tom and not just any lad, not
- 25:44Speaker 2: just lad. You're like, oh, there's a load across the green.
- 25:46Speaker 2: There must you must give me a shirt next time.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I se him. No, no, no, not this ladder, that
- 25:49Speaker 2: lad we're talking, but this lad. Now, there's that guy.
- 25:55Speaker 2: You sent this ladd on to me, and I'm obsessed
- 25:58Speaker 2: with this lad. Lately.
- 26:00Speaker 1: You're finding some fucking weirdos, do you know?
- 26:04Speaker 2: It must be said, Tom. I don't know whether I'm
- 26:06Speaker 2: finding them or they are finding me. But I don't
- 26:09Speaker 2: even know this lad's name, but I can tell you
- 26:11Speaker 2: his Instagram handle. It's a chap on Instagram who works
- 26:14Speaker 2: under the handle shirts and Pants, Shirts and Pants. And
- 26:17Speaker 2: he appears, as far as I can tell, he's an
- 26:19Speaker 2: American gentleman. He appears to working like what they would
- 26:22Speaker 2: call it a thrift store, what we would call like
- 26:24Speaker 2: the you know, SA visit all yeah, or the ox
- 26:27Speaker 2: famm or the whatnot? Is it like a brick a
- 26:29Speaker 2: brack store and and whatnot? And he's working in the
- 26:34Speaker 2: shirts and plants departments, and he loves his work, and
- 26:37Speaker 2: he has made a social media channel out of it.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Lovely to see people just taking what they have in
- 26:42Speaker 2: front of them and making merry with it. I used
- 26:45Speaker 2: to do it working on hardware stores. Tom, you used
- 26:48Speaker 2: to do it on the buildings as well. You know,
- 26:49Speaker 2: you just you just take what it is and make
- 26:52Speaker 2: what you want of it.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Right, correct, So tell us what has this delightful fuckers.
- 26:58Speaker 2: And pants shirts pants taking it upon himself. And I've
- 27:03Speaker 2: gone back through his social media and I can't see
- 27:05Speaker 2: why he's done this, if he has a history of
- 27:07Speaker 2: doing this, no, but he's taken it upon himself to
- 27:10Speaker 2: kick a rock around his hometown until it turns into
- 27:14Speaker 2: a perfect sphere. He's on day fourteen right now. He
- 27:17Speaker 2: started off with like a pyramid shaped granite rock, gray rock,
- 27:21Speaker 2: nothing you wouldn't find loiter and around the place. And
- 27:25Speaker 2: he's been kicking it for two weeks and it went
- 27:28Speaker 2: from one kiloing way to top down the scales around
- 27:31Speaker 2: about nine hundred and ninety five grams. As we record
- 27:34Speaker 2: the day, he's down to around about seven hundred and
- 27:37Speaker 2: thirty grams. So he's knocked off a quarter of the
- 27:40Speaker 2: mass of this rock, and the edges, it must be said,
- 27:44Speaker 2: are rounding out. And I don't know if he's ever
- 27:46Speaker 2: going to get it into the shape and size of
- 27:49Speaker 2: a golf ball as he claims to be. But like
- 27:51Speaker 2: with an infinite amount of kicking around, like he hasn't said, oh,
- 27:53Speaker 2: I'll have to finish it next week. I figure he's
- 27:56Speaker 2: just going to kick this for another two three years
- 27:58Speaker 2: until God damn it, it is around. And I have
- 28:00Speaker 2: to tell you, Tom, I salute him.
- 28:04Speaker 1: I when you send an ant to me, and I went,
- 28:06Speaker 1: Jesus Christ McBride, he's we're gonna have to We're gonna
- 28:08Speaker 1: have to have an intervention.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Mc bride.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Just find not every lad is this lad, but to
- 28:13Speaker 1: give him, to give to him his due. He's an affable,
- 28:16Speaker 1: like it's p O V. You're you're you're on his
- 28:19Speaker 1: head and you're watching his foot kick the rock down
- 28:22Speaker 1: the road.
- 28:22Speaker 2: But he's chatting away about it. Now, I was.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I looked it up and to see was it a
- 28:26Speaker 1: thing that lads did in that town?
- 28:28Speaker 2: Like do you know what I mean?
- 28:29Speaker 1: Was it a at the tradition of where is he
- 28:32Speaker 1: in America?
- 28:32Speaker 2: Again? I couldn't remember.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I was just looking at it. Now. The big thing
- 28:36Speaker 1: for me is I couldn't take the risk here. I
- 28:39Speaker 1: couldn't take the risk unless, as you said, granite, it
- 28:42Speaker 1: was granite or a good lump of limestone. Because imagine
- 28:46Speaker 1: you get to like day twenty seven and it's rounding
- 28:48Speaker 1: out and then there's a stream, you know, a seam
- 28:51Speaker 1: of sandstone up the middle of it, and that fucked
- 28:53Speaker 1: splits you know what I mean, blitz.
- 28:54Speaker 2: But he's I meant to say that time I was
- 28:58Speaker 2: on mute.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Sorry, he's in Portland, poor okay, right, Yeah, that'll be
- 29:01Speaker 1: the kind of their vibe, right yeah, And.
- 29:03Speaker 2: It'd be the go not go know or do nothing
- 29:05Speaker 2: vibe with them.
- 29:06Speaker 1: That would be a whole pile of idol lester steps
- 29:09Speaker 1: because I like to be fair. You'd get a name.
- 29:12Speaker 1: You'd get a name if you're doing that sort of
- 29:13Speaker 1: ship around here.
- 29:14Speaker 2: You know, you can do it for a full week
- 29:15Speaker 2: around here.
- 29:16Speaker 1: And I know, no, I know you're going to get
- 29:18Speaker 1: the poor let up the road. So he's kicking the
- 29:20Speaker 1: done around. I should hope the wise are locked away,
- 29:21Speaker 1: so there is Yeah, you just go should a woman
- 29:23Speaker 1: must be autre leaving him? What's what's the story there?
- 29:26Speaker 2: Like? Yeah? Is he our?
- 29:27Speaker 1: Is he all right?
- 29:28Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one thing for shorts and pants here.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Now he's just having a whale of a time kicking
- 29:32Speaker 2: it around the place, and he's making no special effort
- 29:36Speaker 2: into kicking it into shape like he's not well in it,
- 29:38Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's just like toe tapping
- 29:41Speaker 2: it up the road in front of him. Now the
- 29:44Speaker 2: gas and no harm to him. I reckon he could
- 29:46Speaker 2: kick it as hard as he wanted and it wouldn't
- 29:47Speaker 2: go very far. Now, this is't this kid in you know. Yeah, yeah, resistance.
- 29:52Speaker 1: So he's not I'm saying that all right, he's just
- 29:54Speaker 1: nudging it down the road.
- 29:55Speaker 2: It's every swaften too.
- 29:56Speaker 1: He's so awkward and I mean it's not in that
- 29:58Speaker 1: out of shape that you couldn't good put. I'm not
- 30:01Speaker 1: saying you're going to be playing you know, harpen back,
- 30:04Speaker 1: You're not going to be for Liverpool. But at the
- 30:05Speaker 1: same time, you can put a bit of it, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 1: you could put a bit of a bit of pride
- 30:09Speaker 1: into that kick. He's fucking lashing that thing.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Well, he's just hambling it. Yeah, the ball.
- 30:14Speaker 1: The thing is rolling out onto the road, that's rolling
- 30:16Speaker 1: into you like Jesus Christ, like you you are you
- 30:20Speaker 1: kicking with your bad foot. That's what looks like to
- 30:21Speaker 1: me this thing. But I think he's got two bad feet,
- 30:24Speaker 1: you know, the kind of way it's he's scammy.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Like he is what they call Portland strong. Tom.
- 30:36Speaker 1: There is Portland cement actually and yeah not from this town,
- 30:40Speaker 1: from that town.
- 30:42Speaker 2: But listen, he caught my eye this weekend and I
- 30:44Speaker 2: want to give him a shout out to Shirts and
- 30:46Speaker 2: Pants on Instagram. Give him a follow their shirts with
- 30:48Speaker 2: his head, pants with his head. Look, just put in
- 30:52Speaker 2: kick and Roca into Instagram and I'm sure you'll find him.
- 30:54Speaker 2: We'll throw them up on the social media here. You
- 30:56Speaker 2: can give him a follow. But it just made me think. Tom. Now,
- 30:59Speaker 2: I don't know if if I've ever been as locked
- 31:01Speaker 2: in on anything as this man has been. When I
- 31:05Speaker 2: get locked in, though, Tom, I will say that I
- 31:06Speaker 2: will say one thing for shorts and pants. He's not
- 31:08Speaker 2: kicking the rock all day. He seems to just like
- 31:11Speaker 2: kick it around on his lunch break or like forty
- 31:13Speaker 2: five minute lunch break. He'll just kick it out and
- 31:14Speaker 2: get a sandwich and the kick it back, So it's
- 31:16Speaker 2: only getting like forty five minutes to an hour kick
- 31:18Speaker 2: in the day. If that was me, I would kick
- 31:20Speaker 2: it for three straight days. Oh, I may tell you
- 31:24Speaker 2: up to the sky on Red Bull, I stay awake
- 31:26Speaker 2: and kick the fuck out of that thing.
- 31:29Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I would cheat so bad
- 31:32Speaker 1: with what he's at there now. I yes, I record
- 31:35Speaker 1: a couple of forty five second videos. I'll be kicking
- 31:36Speaker 1: it down the road, which I can tell you here now.
- 31:39Speaker 1: That rock is going straight into the cement mixer outside
- 31:42Speaker 1: of the house. Okay, I'm putting that on overnight. That
- 31:45Speaker 1: thing is coming out around as a fucking cue ball
- 31:47Speaker 1: by the time I'm done with it, because I'll put
- 31:49Speaker 1: it into the mixer and he'll clang and bang away
- 31:51Speaker 1: and by the time it comes out there won't be
- 31:53Speaker 1: an edge left in any direction from him.
- 31:55Speaker 2: He actually, he actually stays ahead of allegations of cheating
- 31:59Speaker 2: by way the rock at the start an end of
- 32:02Speaker 2: every video a video the way that it ended at
- 32:05Speaker 2: the last one it comes into, it comes into the
- 32:07Speaker 2: new video, so it didn't mysteriously lose sixty grands overnight.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Like he's He's a lot of things, Tom, let me
- 32:13Speaker 2: tell you that again. He's a fucking lot of things.
- 32:17Speaker 2: But it doesn't seem to be a cheat. Well, he's
- 32:20Speaker 2: locked in, Tom, and it got me to think, in there, Tom,
- 32:22Speaker 2: I don't know that you've ever kicked a rock around
- 32:24Speaker 2: here in your life. But surely there's something that you
- 32:27Speaker 2: got more than just a little bit obsessed with. There's
- 32:30Speaker 2: there some little thing that you simply had to do.
- 32:33Speaker 2: What was your crowning achievement, tom your accomplishment? What was
- 32:37Speaker 2: your rock to kick Jesus?
- 32:39Speaker 1: Very general like literally pick anything, you literally pick anything
- 32:44Speaker 1: I've ever mentioned to you ever, And I've absolutely met
- 32:49Speaker 1: the fucking the big boss and killed him. I only
- 32:54Speaker 1: have obsession I have I don't have.
- 32:58Speaker 2: You don't have a gear has a rock.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Every rock is a rock. I've absolute freak for anything
- 33:05Speaker 1: I set my sights on. And I don't know why
- 33:07Speaker 1: I usedn't be, but in the last maybe ten twelve years,
- 33:11Speaker 1: I mean an absolute And when I when I'm nonchalant
- 33:14Speaker 1: about the thing, I mean it could fall off from
- 33:16Speaker 1: all the world's existence and memory, and I bear no,
- 33:21Speaker 1: I bear nothing for it. I'm cold and lies to it.
- 33:24Speaker 1: So if it doesn't matter to me, I mean it
- 33:27Speaker 1: doesn't exist at all, it doesn't exist. So when I
- 33:30Speaker 1: lock onto something like I went through a long period
- 33:34Speaker 1: like Jesus Christ, the obscurity of pressurized timber, I mean,
- 33:45Speaker 1: I mean I track down stuff around Europe and around
- 33:48Speaker 1: Ireland that even lads were like, how do you find me?
- 33:55Speaker 1: You were a tough one to get, but I gotcha.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I want the specific a Timber, and I wanted to
- 34:00Speaker 1: pressurize to this bar.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Okay, all right, finding Timber.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Yeah, so Timber, I'm just going to give you one thing.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I mean, I can talk about stone all day long.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Like literally, I'm looking out at thirty seven fucking loads
- 34:14Speaker 1: of this stuff outside there, and I know every minibe
- 34:16Speaker 1: rabat that came out, the specific, the specific grade and
- 34:19Speaker 1: everything like as you mentioned.
- 34:21Speaker 2: It, Tom, I'm looking at it right now with my
- 34:23Speaker 2: very specific obsession. There was one other thing there that
- 34:27Speaker 2: was somewhat rock kicky in my life that I got
- 34:29Speaker 2: locked in and I don't know where I came about it, Tom,
- 34:30Speaker 2: but I found like, I'm like, you know, dometer.
- 34:34Speaker 1: To be fair to you, right, do you have great
- 34:39Speaker 1: follow along? Like nobody could follow along my stupid shiit
- 34:43Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? They'd tap out ten
- 34:45Speaker 1: minutes in. But you have had great follow along stuff
- 34:48Speaker 1: in the past that you were able to actually document,
- 34:52Speaker 1: like you getting drunk for the Hedgehogs.
- 34:54Speaker 2: You know that was I was going to say, Tom,
- 34:56Speaker 2: for good and for real, I tell you the one
- 34:57Speaker 2: thing you have. This one I didn't. This one that
- 34:59Speaker 2: goes back to chi bildhood. I think it was when childhood.
- 35:02Speaker 2: It would have been a grown ass man, would have
- 35:03Speaker 2: been about a fifteen or sixteen but a found noo
- 35:05Speaker 2: dometer like get a clock from it. And I don't
- 35:07Speaker 2: think it was from a car. It was like a
- 35:08Speaker 2: counter out of what I think like a petrol pump
- 35:12Speaker 2: or some sort you know, right, you know in the
- 35:15Speaker 2: old petrol pumps. The analog patrol pumpster was like a
- 35:17Speaker 2: very very small counter at the bottom of it. Anyway,
- 35:21Speaker 2: I come to I come to be in a possession
- 35:23Speaker 2: of it, and it was out of the machine. It
- 35:25Speaker 2: was just like sitting in your hand, and there was
- 35:27Speaker 2: a wee spindle at the side of it that if
- 35:29Speaker 2: you spawned it would it would clock itself up. Yeah,
- 35:32Speaker 2: I clocked that all the way around to you went
- 35:35Speaker 2: from zero to what what could you go to?
- 35:37Speaker 1: Ten thousand, one thousand?
- 35:38Speaker 2: The highest they could go to it was six digits.
- 35:41Speaker 2: So what was that? Jesus Christ nine nine ninety nine,
- 35:46Speaker 2: that was yeah, ninety ninety nine, big pardon ninety nine million,
- 35:51Speaker 2: three million, okay, okay, Yeah, that's I spawned, I sponded,
- 35:56Speaker 2: and I remember, like, you know, I got teck with
- 35:58Speaker 2: it one day as you would, and my dad had
- 36:01Speaker 2: like a bench grinder.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Yeah, this is was this like your first funeral moment?
- 36:07Speaker 1: You know what, He's trying to white wind wind back
- 36:09Speaker 1: the odometer. You said, I'm gonna kick it. Same with
- 36:11Speaker 1: me with the mixer. I would just catch the stone
- 36:13Speaker 1: as roads the mixer and cheat.
- 36:14Speaker 2: So you I offered. I offered the spindle of it
- 36:17Speaker 2: up to the to the bench grinder, and now I
- 36:18Speaker 2: was like and like it was like really clocking, but
- 36:22Speaker 2: I could feel the thing getting hot in me hand.
- 36:24Speaker 2: I was like, I'm going to burn this thing out
- 36:25Speaker 2: now before I so I didn't. I didn't do it
- 36:27Speaker 2: too much. Now, if it had been a gain, I
- 36:29Speaker 2: would have got the drill and put to it and spin.
- 36:30Speaker 1: It to it. Did you feel did you feel dirty
- 36:34Speaker 1: for for cheating a couple of kiometers? And no, Jesus no,
- 36:37Speaker 1: I felt.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I felt. I felt top of the world. I don't care.
- 36:40Speaker 2: I was only competing against myself and he cheats.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, and you and you accepted cheating. That's
- 36:46Speaker 1: that's the fair point.
- 36:48Speaker 2: But I'm looking right now at my current obsession. Tom,
- 36:50Speaker 2: it's out the front. My black ban is out the front, Tom,
- 36:53Speaker 2: and my black bin is out the front for the
- 36:56Speaker 2: first time in eight weeks. I have not put that
- 37:00Speaker 2: out for eight weeks. And that's not like I'm in
- 37:01Speaker 2: here hip deep and rubbish. I made it my business
- 37:04Speaker 2: to not because I was putting that thing out every
- 37:06Speaker 2: week Willy Nilly Titanic Lifeboats sending it out half empty.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Now is it the collection, the charge on, or just
- 37:13Speaker 1: the wage, Like you have to put eight weeks of
- 37:16Speaker 1: wait into that, and it's all it's all the matter.
- 37:18Speaker 2: The charger, the charger for both. And if they're going
- 37:20Speaker 2: to get the charger for collecting and empty, do you
- 37:22Speaker 2: know what I mean? The charger for collecting bottle of
- 37:26Speaker 2: yopping it?
- 37:26Speaker 1: Okay, right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 37:28Speaker 2: But then they do get you on the weight. So
- 37:29Speaker 2: I don't know that I don't know that we're gonna
- 37:31Speaker 2: win all that much money wise. But the pride dumb
- 37:33Speaker 2: is unbelievable because I've been watching that been for eight
- 37:36Speaker 2: straight weeks. This chap's been kicking rocks for two weeks. Brother,
- 37:39Speaker 2: come at me at the eight week mark, and you've
- 37:42Speaker 2: been like stamping on eggshells to get them smaller. All right,
- 37:50Speaker 2: I've been being so good. I've been putting compost in
- 37:53Speaker 2: the compost. But because I just I just should be
- 37:55Speaker 2: known to him there like those longest time I let
- 37:57Speaker 2: the compost been going to fuck because I like that
- 37:58Speaker 2: thing stinks. Man, I'm sorry, Jesus, do you know? But
- 38:01Speaker 2: then I was like, now, come on, price of Everton
- 38:03Speaker 2: gone up. You gotta do your best. You gotta do
- 38:05Speaker 2: your bess for my pride house. You gotta save fourteen
- 38:10Speaker 2: fifty over an eight week periods.
- 38:12Speaker 1: That is I mean, there's no I'm not saying there's
- 38:14Speaker 1: no compete with my carry on, but there's no. There's
- 38:16Speaker 1: no joining in with my own personal fucking weirdness. But
- 38:20Speaker 1: I would love to hear I did really love to.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Hear of listeners. Have they chat absolutely this is the place?
- 38:28Speaker 1: How many weeks? How many This is the perfect one
- 38:31Speaker 1: to chime in on. How many weeks have you gone
- 38:34Speaker 1: with the with the black beIN? Have you pushed it?
- 38:37Speaker 2: Have you? Do you? Have you done the jam? Maybe
- 38:39Speaker 2: maybe eight weeks is amateur er. Maybe I'm over here like, yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 2: eight weeks and they're like eight weeks. Yeah, come on, buddy,
- 38:44Speaker 2: We're we're doing much better than that. Well, I'd love
- 38:46Speaker 2: to hear it. I'm out here with a lasagnea rubbish yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 38:50Speaker 2: but that's it. Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 1: At the same time, I mean, I'm impressed. I couldn't.
- 38:54Speaker 2: There's no way right now we could do that.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Not a hope in that house because we're still on
- 38:59Speaker 1: packaging and shit, right, you know what I mean, there's
- 39:01Speaker 1: still stuff that you'd consider construction stuff and things like
- 39:04Speaker 1: that going in there. It ain't know your bottles going
- 39:06Speaker 1: and I'm trying to have to hide a few bits
- 39:08Speaker 1: to make it look like it isn't a builders yard either,
- 39:11Speaker 1: do so there is still definitely.
- 39:14Speaker 2: September going into the compost. Been it's all organic, a
- 39:16Speaker 2: little mulch, I suppose.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So it's I won't get to that obsession level.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I don't have an option just yet that my main
- 39:24Speaker 1: is full to the ring every single week, so I
- 39:28Speaker 1: can't even compete. But I'd love to hear people have
- 39:31Speaker 1: because I can be here. I can see myself having
- 39:33Speaker 1: a right go at that if when all my ducks
- 39:35Speaker 1: are in a.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Row and have a right go at that now, and
- 39:38Speaker 2: and if you if you don't share any of our obsessions.
- 39:41Speaker 2: We'd love to hear what ones you do have, Like
- 39:44Speaker 2: what is your rock to kick throughout the summer? Let
- 39:46Speaker 2: us know in the comments. But yeah, there we go, folks,
- 39:51Speaker 2: there we go. This week's this lad shirts and pants
- 39:53Speaker 2: on the Instagram pages will share his link. Now, Tom,
- 39:56Speaker 2: before we go boldly into the future, We're going to
- 40:00Speaker 2: take a look bravely into the past with the closing
- 40:02Speaker 2: segment of The Tom and Jerry Show, because, as we
- 40:04Speaker 2: said many times, I mean Tom exists in the fulcrum
- 40:07Speaker 2: of life, born, born at a time where we can
- 40:10Speaker 2: see old ways dying off and growing up in a
- 40:13Speaker 2: time where we can say new ways being shepherded. And
- 40:16Speaker 2: we've seen an awful lot in our combined eighty to
- 40:19Speaker 2: ninety years Tom, and we bring it all back in
- 40:21Speaker 2: a segment we call we Remember When when I was
- 40:25Speaker 2: a young lad twenty or thirty or forty years ago.
- 40:29Speaker 2: I like it. I like it.
- 40:31Speaker 1: This one call us the sports podcast.
- 40:34Speaker 2: I'll tell you, oh us the sports podcast this week.
- 40:35Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, you know that we remember when?
- 40:38Speaker 2: In the segment is always born from something I guess
- 40:40Speaker 2: that's happening around us. And as Tom was about to
- 40:43Speaker 2: tell you, yeah, sports, great stuff.
- 40:47Speaker 1: This one comes around. And to be fair, like a
- 40:51Speaker 1: great sport should involve everybody, experts or not, you know
- 40:55Speaker 1: what I mean, enthusiasts, they're not a great sport, a
- 40:58Speaker 1: right hype of sport, you know what I mean.
- 41:00Speaker 2: It should be able to get invested in.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Exactly, it should bring people in, especially the people on
- 41:05Speaker 1: the fringes who don't have any interest, such as us
- 41:08Speaker 1: and I, like, I would have a marginal interest in
- 41:12Speaker 1: in boxing only because of a couple of friends who
- 41:13Speaker 1: boxed at a decent level, because I was always interested.
- 41:16Speaker 1: What would the obsession it takes to get to professional
- 41:20Speaker 1: levels of fighters? Oh my god, it's it's so obscure
- 41:26Speaker 1: their lifestyle, like you just have to like you have
- 41:29Speaker 1: to be so there is no arson about when it
- 41:32Speaker 1: comes to perfect especially when it's fighting. It's not professional bowling,
- 41:36Speaker 1: it's fighting. You can get really fucking hard.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Fucked up on this. So who was fighting at the weekend?
- 41:41Speaker 1: So this one and this this is this was like
- 41:43Speaker 1: Judgment day two kind of a thing. Like because fighting
- 41:46Speaker 1: at the weekend, I mean, you never get this happening.
- 41:48Speaker 1: This was amazing to have these two fighters to line up.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Given who their fathers are. We had Chris hu Back
- 41:54Speaker 1: junior and he was fighting Connor Ben.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Connor benk senior son and Nigel Ben British boxers from
- 42:04Speaker 2: the nineties, very very very famous, Chris eu Bank in
- 42:08Speaker 2: particular because of his oddness and his way going on.
- 42:11Speaker 2: But their sons clashed in the ring. This was real
- 42:13Speaker 2: creep to stuff like this was.
- 42:17Speaker 1: It was epic to have it. And and you Bank,
- 42:19Speaker 1: who is like cheese. I mean, I've only saw the
- 42:22Speaker 1: extended highlights, but my god, it was an absolute slabber knocker.
- 42:26Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 42:27Speaker 1: It's a barn burner all the lines from wrestling, do
- 42:30Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They pier six, Yeah, they
- 42:33Speaker 1: lay like they took him out. They took each other
- 42:36Speaker 1: to the back of the woodshed and gave him a
- 42:37Speaker 1: good hut like I mean, just all like the pure
- 42:41Speaker 1: like the purest good watching go Oh my god, I
- 42:43Speaker 1: say it, but an absolute looking in from underneath the door,
- 42:48Speaker 1: not a clue about fighting, would have loved this because
- 42:52Speaker 1: they just lit each other up there and because they
- 42:54Speaker 1: had the fitness to go the full twelve rons. There's
- 42:56Speaker 1: nothing worse than watching some of the big heavyweights. When
- 42:59Speaker 1: it goes to all heavyweight fights should be cut off
- 43:01Speaker 1: at five. You know what I mean, cut off of
- 43:03Speaker 1: five because there's a lumbering around, the lumbering around, these
- 43:06Speaker 1: hanging out of each other. This was this was middleweight,
- 43:09Speaker 1: so you're perfect, perfect. They went to full twelve rounds.
- 43:12Speaker 1: One hundred has an hour for the full twelve rounds,
- 43:14Speaker 1: and you bet Junior Chris Euban Junior took it. He
- 43:18Speaker 1: took it like unanimously all three judges and he did.
- 43:20Speaker 1: In the end, he got in a lot more. I
- 43:22Speaker 1: think he's accuracy more than anything. There seemed to be
- 43:26Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of good fight from both
- 43:28Speaker 1: of them. But from what I could see, Chris hu
- 43:30Speaker 1: Bank Jr. Was just a better boxer, like a sharper
- 43:33Speaker 1: boxer in the end, but like Ben, took an unbelievable
- 43:37Speaker 1: amount of punishment.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Well here's the thing, Tom, unfair play to the lads.
- 43:41Speaker 2: There you go. But keen eared listeners might not be
- 43:44Speaker 2: hearing a lot of we remember when in the middle
- 43:46Speaker 2: of all this exactly that's where this next bit comes up,
- 43:48Speaker 2: because we remember when Chris Eubank and Nigel Ben went
- 43:52Speaker 2: at it in the nineties to begin with. But that's
- 43:55Speaker 2: not all we remember, Tom. We remember when this ship
- 43:58Speaker 2: was on free television. I swear to God, and this
- 44:01Speaker 2: is what I'm talking about.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Like there was We didn't grow up in a boxing household,
- 44:05Speaker 1: but we grew like you know, father Obays in sports
- 44:09Speaker 1: of some one or or another. Didn't We didn't know
- 44:11Speaker 1: anything about boxing. There was no boxing club up the
- 44:13Speaker 1: road or anything. But the way you could throw a
- 44:18Speaker 1: few more fighters into that, like obviously Steve Collins, the
- 44:22Speaker 1: Celtic Warrior, you had of course Barry mcgwigan throw him
- 44:28Speaker 1: into that that kind of thing as well, and and
- 44:29Speaker 1: Prince Nazim Hamad, you know what I mean. There was
- 44:32Speaker 1: a there was a collection of guys that were it
- 44:34Speaker 1: was free day, free TV.
- 44:36Speaker 2: But when free TV, when you're getting them.
- 44:38Speaker 1: You're getting you're getting the likes of high high end
- 44:41Speaker 1: boxing and the you know, and it's that British you know,
- 44:45Speaker 1: a lot of it is fought in Wembley, so it's
- 44:46Speaker 1: at British Irish times. It was perfect Saturday night popcorn
- 44:51Speaker 1: and the coke watching. And you know what I mean,
- 44:54Speaker 1: you didn't know who, you didn't really know the technical
- 44:57Speaker 1: sides of things.
- 44:57Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, you hear what you He's.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Simply the best, come on, you know who's coming out like?
- 45:02Speaker 1: And he's standing there with the pomp of bravado. I mean,
- 45:05Speaker 1: he was worth the ticket money alone, you bank completely
- 45:08Speaker 1: out of his bin mental But he's standing there just
- 45:11Speaker 1: tapping the two gloves together in love and himself slowly
- 45:15Speaker 1: stepping his way to the ring, and then of course
- 45:17Speaker 1: he does to jump over and then the dark destroyer himself,
- 45:21Speaker 1: Niger Bend, comes out and it's all you know, dark
- 45:23Speaker 1: and moody and stuff like it was. It was just
- 45:27Speaker 1: one step away from wrestling, do you know what I mean?
- 45:29Speaker 2: And here's the thing, like, here's the point of it all. Okay,
- 45:32Speaker 2: when we say that the boxing was free to watch
- 45:34Speaker 2: on TV, no no, no. Me and Tom came up
- 45:36Speaker 2: in a time where sport was just free to watch
- 45:38Speaker 2: on TV. You could watch First Division football on TV.
- 45:42Speaker 2: You could watch Liverpool win the League on the BBC
- 45:46Speaker 2: of a Saturday, no bother, no pay per view, no
- 45:49Speaker 2: Sky TV, no Sky subscription, no paid channels, just free
- 45:54Speaker 2: sport on TV. And I figure, like, you know, if
- 45:57Speaker 2: you say that to a lot of young people these days,
- 45:59Speaker 2: you didn't grow up in that time. That's a fucking
- 46:03Speaker 2: mind blowing thing because right now you can't watch the
- 46:06Speaker 2: goddamn cricket on the TV unless you have a Sky subscription.
- 46:09Speaker 2: They're charging you to pay to watch cricket, Tom cricket.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Everything is going behind the paywall. And look, I can
- 46:15Speaker 1: see why, because everything gets more expensive.
- 46:18Speaker 2: But it just comes.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Even though I think they were trying to put you know,
- 46:23Speaker 1: GA on some GA gold thing that you had to
- 46:26Speaker 1: subscribe to as well.
- 46:27Speaker 2: And I don't think we're out of that water yet.
- 46:29Speaker 1: No, I think it probably will go there, which is Look,
- 46:31Speaker 1: I understand boxing. They got to get huge paydays. Footballers
- 46:36Speaker 1: get huge paydays. But when you're starting to put GA
- 46:40Speaker 1: behind the paywall, you were like, hold on one second,
- 46:43Speaker 1: I have a question, like who's getting paid or not
- 46:47Speaker 1: the players? Oh, not the players, right, the physios and
- 46:50Speaker 1: the backroom stat Yeah, but the players actually don't say
- 46:53Speaker 1: a bean all right, right?
- 46:54Speaker 2: Right?
- 46:54Speaker 1: So this ship is going okay, right, So I can
- 46:59Speaker 1: kind of understand. I don't agree with it because I
- 47:03Speaker 1: loved the like the notion of it being for like,
- 47:06Speaker 1: if it was behind the paywall, we would have never
- 47:08Speaker 1: given a slice and shit.
- 47:10Speaker 2: That's the thing, Tom, Like, if I had any heat
- 47:12Speaker 2: in sport in my life, it was up until I
- 47:16Speaker 2: ran about fifteen because I could care less about boxing
- 47:19Speaker 2: on a day to day basis. But I'll watch you
- 47:20Speaker 2: bank versus Ben and U Bank versus. I watched you
- 47:23Speaker 2: Bank versus Michael Watson on the TV. For God's sake,
- 47:26Speaker 2: I watched, like you know, Prince, I see m Hammad
- 47:28Speaker 2: all these I'd love to see him getting beaten, but
- 47:30Speaker 2: he never did. That's how he did it. That's how
- 47:31Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali made his money. People wanted to seem beaten
- 47:34Speaker 2: more than one of them winning. But there you go.
- 47:38Speaker 2: All this was just like the only thing that I
- 47:40Speaker 2: would be slightly annoyed about is that it used to
- 47:42Speaker 2: be on ITV at nine o'clock on a Saturday night.
- 47:44Speaker 2: And that was like usually like when the shoe a
- 47:46Speaker 2: movie or some such sod be like, oh there's no
- 47:48Speaker 2: movie this week, there's boxing, and I'm like, all right, okay,
- 47:50Speaker 2: fair enough.
- 47:51Speaker 1: But the only thing is I mean, when it was
- 47:53Speaker 1: the big boxing fights, like the ones like I think
- 47:56Speaker 1: the second one, which I loved that they were going
- 47:58Speaker 1: for the terminator team, you know, when they the second
- 48:02Speaker 1: one between Ben and you bank and they call it
- 48:04Speaker 1: Judgment Day.
- 48:05Speaker 2: You know, it's just great.
- 48:09Speaker 1: It was great pomp and ceremony, and I mean it's
- 48:12Speaker 1: still to this day. I mean you even I would
- 48:14Speaker 1: encourage anybody if they're ever you know, if they ever
- 48:16Speaker 1: get an opportunity to go to a night at the boxing.
- 48:19Speaker 2: It is so entertaining.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Like because they still do the you know, make it.
- 48:25Speaker 1: There's so much games when ship goes on, make one
- 48:27Speaker 1: fighter will make the other fighter wait in the ring
- 48:29Speaker 1: that bit longer, and stuff. The music will play, but
- 48:32Speaker 1: and you get the audience going absolutely burnerners. It's good
- 48:36Speaker 1: batter and different. It's should we say, wrestling on a
- 48:39Speaker 1: small you know, it's still got theater to it.
- 48:42Speaker 2: Like yeah, you know what I mean, you.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Need to look and look around at some of the
- 48:46Speaker 1: mad jokes that are in the audience, would you. That's
- 48:48Speaker 1: half the crack of the whole thing.
- 48:50Speaker 2: Like it's it's perhaps a little bit more like wrestling
- 48:52Speaker 2: than anyone would care to admit. Tom here we are
- 48:55Speaker 2: the but yeah, there you go, and it's it's a
- 48:59Speaker 2: you know, have a night at the wrestling and come
- 49:01Speaker 2: back to me. How much tell me how much change
- 49:02Speaker 2: you have left after over and just think that there
- 49:06Speaker 2: was a time when all that was free, that was
- 49:09Speaker 2: as free on TV as Blue Peter was, that you
- 49:13Speaker 2: paid as much to watch Bike or Grove as you
- 49:16Speaker 2: did to watch box office boxing. Yeah, and I dare
- 49:21Speaker 2: say in the early nineties, Tom, that's when, if you remember,
- 49:23Speaker 2: like you know, you had your Mike Tyson fights over
- 49:26Speaker 2: in the States and they were all clearly on HBO.
- 49:28Speaker 2: The Americans figured out and hang on a second, like
- 49:31Speaker 2: you can, We've got a system in place now that
- 49:33Speaker 2: we can, you know, charge money for this. We've got
- 49:37Speaker 2: pay per view is a thing, a reliable thing now.
- 49:39Speaker 2: And then the British over here, we're like, what's that now,
- 49:42Speaker 2: pay per view? Maybe we can put a couple of
- 49:44Speaker 2: these boxing fights behind the pay well and that was it. Boom,
- 49:46Speaker 2: forget about it. You tell me the box and you
- 49:48Speaker 2: watch on ITV at nine o'clock on a Saturday. These
- 49:51Speaker 2: days you're not even gonna see the fucking Olympics for
- 49:53Speaker 2: TV anymore. Not a fit. But that is Yeah, it's again.
- 49:58Speaker 1: I'd almost, I damn near put it to the back
- 50:00Speaker 1: of my mind that it was just always a thing
- 50:02Speaker 1: that I was Mendela and affecting myself, like so many
- 50:04Speaker 1: of these things until you brought it up and went, you.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Know, we used to be able to watch that time
- 50:07Speaker 2: for free.
- 50:07Speaker 1: I was like, Jesus, we did.
- 50:09Speaker 2: I mean, I mean you could watch football for free
- 50:11Speaker 2: as well. And I'm not talking about the I'm not
- 50:14Speaker 2: talking about like the Champions League. I'm not talking about
- 50:17Speaker 2: the Charity Shield once a year. No, I'm talking about
- 50:20Speaker 2: you could see United in Liverpool on a Saturday. You
- 50:23Speaker 2: were so inclined. We did watch the A team.
- 50:25Speaker 1: This was the ad meate too. But at the same time,
- 50:28Speaker 1: this was a time when you'd hear, you know, the
- 50:29Speaker 1: funny stories of Brian Cloth kicking fill us up the
- 50:32Speaker 1: hole and stuff like that. But this was a time
- 50:34Speaker 1: when footballers were still normal people. You know, A flash
- 50:38Speaker 1: normal question mark. Well you know what I mean, a
- 50:40Speaker 1: flashca that a fellow would turn up to training and
- 50:42Speaker 1: that he gets slagged for in playing from any night
- 50:45Speaker 1: would be like an escort, you know, x R three EI.
- 50:48Speaker 2: They're like, who's flash fucker over here?
- 50:50Speaker 1: Now? They're rocking up in fucking helicopters, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 50:54Speaker 1: It's not out of the norm for somebody to turn

- 51:55Speaker 2: We had said that we wanted to be fit and sexy.
- 51:59Speaker 2: That's the two things. In hindsight, that was the two things.
- 52:02Speaker 2: We wanted them to be true, and we said what
- 52:06Speaker 2: else would you guys like this again from several people.
- 52:10Speaker 2: One listener says, I want a fellow who could change
- 52:12Speaker 2: the tire or hang a door, and then another in
- 52:15Speaker 2: general or an actual listener Pope. Well that's a very
- 52:19Speaker 2: good question. No, the question was about Pope, so we
- 52:21Speaker 2: won't get fair enough. Yeah, you can change the tire
- 52:23Speaker 2: or hanging door. And another listener, quite separately, says, I
- 52:26Speaker 2: want someone from a trade background. So there you go,
- 52:30Speaker 2: tradesman for the Vatican.
- 52:32Speaker 1: I'm done for that. I mean, you know what the
- 52:35Speaker 1: you know, they where the the Vatican and they like it.
- 52:39Speaker 2: I mean they worship, as they say, the carpenter's son,
- 52:42Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, I mean maybe who is who else
- 52:45Speaker 2: is from a trade background? Oh yeah, Jesus exactly.
