Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Good evening. I'll be honest with you, I'm like, a
- 0:15Speaker 1: minor accident is probably scary enough.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Good evening. Well. Well.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Well.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Of a gloomy night out there.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Yes. Hey. Come into the house.
- 0:28Speaker 2: That's way scarier than any Romanian.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Bye and large, Tom. Come here. You're
- 0:35Speaker 1: welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show's annual hardware shop
- 0:38Speaker 1: of horror. Not a conventional episode this week, ladies and gentlemen.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It's a week where myself, Jerry McBride, and him good self,
- 0:45Speaker 1: Tom O'Mahony.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Scary McBride over there.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. Doom O'Mahony over there. I like it too
- 0:56Speaker 1: yeah we like to do this Tom and Halloween is
- 0:59Speaker 1: this week so this episode should drop in around Halloween
- 1:01Speaker 1: you should be listening to it you know if you're
- 1:02Speaker 1: listening to this in early November I guess it still.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Works look it does but it's it's Saturday night from
- 1:09Speaker 2: ye listening to us on Thursday so you know what
- 1:11Speaker 2: I mean the spookiness is upon us and we have
- 1:15Speaker 2: we all know especially as Irish people we own Halloween
- 1:17Speaker 2: so yeah it's ours it's ours.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But we have exported it to the world, Tom, and
- 1:22Speaker 1: what the world has done with Halloween is create scary movies.
- 1:26Speaker 1: I guess we want a dollar in every million that
- 1:29Speaker 1: they make down through the years, but I don't think
- 1:31Speaker 1: that's going to happen. So this week for the Tom
- 1:34Speaker 1: and Jerry show, Hardware Shop of Halloween, not a conventional episode,
- 1:37Speaker 1: as we say, what we're going to do, Tom, is
- 1:39Speaker 1: we're going to take a look at how you, Tom O'Mahony,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and me, Jerry McBride, would fare against some of horror's
- 1:46Speaker 1: classic monsters.
- 1:47Speaker 2: What do you think? I'm loving this because here's the thing, folks.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I don't know what Jerry's going to throw at me.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I've left this one completely in Jerry's wheelhouse because I'm excited. Well,
- 1:58Speaker 2: that's good, Tom.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You'll have to think on the fly.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I mean. I'm
- 2:03Speaker 2: very excited about this. I didn't want to know. Prior,
- 2:07Speaker 2: and even I said to Jerry, I forgot myself. He went, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:09Speaker 2: We're doing it the right way now. You're going to
- 2:11Speaker 2: find out as I throw them at you. Because that'll
- 2:13Speaker 2: give a more honest, I think, appraisal. Other than me
- 2:16Speaker 2: trying to bullshit my way to come up with ingenious ways.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I could just be dead in the first place with
- 2:22Speaker 2: each one of these guys.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Well, that's what we're going to do, Tom. And I've
- 2:25Speaker 1: got a couple of ground rules, okay?
- 2:27Speaker 2: This is you.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Me. As you are now. And me as I am now.
- 2:31Speaker 1: So this is not some younger, better, leaner, meaner, stronger
- 2:35Speaker 1: version of ourselves.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Oh, shit. Yeah, okay. All right. Okay.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're not.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Making a contract here. This is not going to fare well.
- 2:42Speaker 1: We're not going to be the final girl in this
- 2:44Speaker 1: one here.
- 2:44Speaker 2: They're not even going to know my surname. That's, you
- 2:48Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 2:49Speaker 1: In these scenarios, Tom, we are alone. Just you and
- 2:53Speaker 1: just me. We don't have, I'm sorry to say it,
- 2:56Speaker 1: the family slowing us down.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Grant, Grant.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So you don't have to worry about, oh, well, I'd
- 3:01Speaker 1: never be able to run with the kid or anything
- 3:02Speaker 1: like this, although it might do be fucking gone leagues
- 3:05Speaker 1: in front of me before I'd get out the door.
- 3:07Speaker 2: It is just you. Grant, trust me.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And you can choose to play this house or whatever
- 3:13Speaker 1: you wish, stand and fight, run like hell, whatever it
- 3:17Speaker 1: is you're going to want to do. And number three, Tom,
- 3:22Speaker 1: you don't know that this is happening until it happens.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Right, okay.
- 3:28Speaker 1: So proper, proper. With the exception of one or two
- 3:31Speaker 1: of the things that I have on the list here,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you've got no prior warning that this is happening. The
- 3:35Speaker 1: first that you know about it is when it happens.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Oh, fuck, okay. Are you going to give me a
- 3:39Speaker 2: scenario on each time?
- 3:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. There's a couple of these guys, Tom, that
- 3:45Speaker 1: you will see coming. But by and large, it is just,
- 3:49Speaker 1: as in any scary movie, you round the corner and
- 3:52Speaker 1: this fucker's standing there.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Ah, shit, right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 3:55Speaker 1: So it's not a case of, well, I knew he
- 3:56Speaker 1: was coming so I had my shotgun with me.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Yeah, my clip-on chainsaw arm, yeah. Exactly, exactly.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Does that sound like a good half hour podcast for
- 4:06Speaker 1: a Halloween special?
- 4:07Speaker 2: I'm very, I'm very excited. Like I said, this could
- 4:10Speaker 2: be done in just five minutes. I might be dead
- 4:12Speaker 2: in all reality in early doors on this one. But
- 4:16Speaker 2: let's see what Jerry's.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Got for me.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Well, let's start, Tom.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Let's go up against two of the heavy hitters of
- 4:21Speaker 1: movie horror world, Tom. And we're going to take on
- 4:24Speaker 1: one apiece because you'll see as we get there. We're
- 4:27Speaker 1: going to go up against Michael Myers from Halloween and
- 4:29Speaker 1: Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
- 4:31Speaker 3: I was going to do these guys separate, but they're
- 4:33Speaker 3: basically the one fella. It is a large, supernatural... Unkillable,
- 4:38Speaker 3: massive man who walks slowly towards you with a knife.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Of some sorts.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Wearing a mask of some sorts.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Wearing a mask of some sorts, exactly. So there's not
- 4:47Speaker 1: really clear blue sky between them. The only difference is
- 4:49Speaker 1: that Michael Myers in Halloween prefers to do his haunting
- 4:54Speaker 1: in an urban setting in the suburbs. And Jason Verhees
- 4:58Speaker 1: is a nature boy. He's out on Camp Crystal Lake.
- 5:00Speaker 1: So Michael's coming for me. Jason's coming for you. Right.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Shit. Look, Tom. It's night time. You got the woods
- 5:09Speaker 1: all around you in your house, as you do. It's
- 5:11Speaker 1: very picturesque. I love to see it. You look out
- 5:14Speaker 1: the window and here's this fucking guy coming. Now, I
- 5:17Speaker 1: will give you this much. You know it's Jason. You
- 5:20Speaker 1: know it's not just some lad from up the road.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Jason's been killing up and down the days.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Grand. So I don't go out and ask him is
- 5:27Speaker 2: he alright for directions. Exactly.
- 5:29Speaker 1: He can't go, oh shit, it's Jason that I know
- 5:32Speaker 1: from the movies with the skill set that he has.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Go. And I'm in my own house.
- 5:38Speaker 1: You're in your own house. You are your own self.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But you're at home alone, Tom. The wife's going to
- 5:42Speaker 1: be in town with the children or whatever.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Okay, can I go to the gun safe?
- 5:44Speaker 1: Do I have a gun safe?
- 5:45Speaker 2: Your house, Tom.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It's your house. Oh, right.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Spot Jason. I guess... See, the argument would be is
- 5:52Speaker 2: to turn off all the lights. You know what I mean?
- 5:53Speaker 2: Because it blackens it. But you know what? I ain't
- 5:56Speaker 2: going out into his fortress. I back myself out in
- 6:00Speaker 2: the woods. But this motherfucker, he seems to have... an
- 6:04Speaker 2: uncanny ability to just appear striding thousands of fucking steps
- 6:10Speaker 2: at a time while moving really slowly so I think
- 6:14Speaker 2: I'm going to draw him in and have the place
- 6:17Speaker 2: brightly lit that's the only way to do it see
- 6:19Speaker 2: can I draw him in because at least I've got
- 6:21Speaker 2: four walls and some glass right at least it'll buy
- 6:24Speaker 2: me some time I head out there to meet him
- 6:26Speaker 2: head on and see can I sneak away I've seen
- 6:29Speaker 2: the movies this fucker would chase me into the next
- 6:31Speaker 2: county I'm going to burn out. Yes. So I'm going
- 6:34Speaker 2: to just conserve my energy. Might take a fucking, I
- 6:38Speaker 2: don't know, slug a fucking something to get going. Just
- 6:41Speaker 2: to say, right, let's go. And I guess, is there
- 6:45Speaker 2: a point in going to the gun safe? Because this
- 6:47Speaker 2: guy can get shot. I've seen him being shot.
- 6:50Speaker 1: This is the thing, Tom. I mean, like, you know,
- 6:51Speaker 1: I'll let you cook here, buddy, but go on.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's all sorts I want to do.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I want to stick his hand into the fucking, into
- 7:00Speaker 2: the ninja bullet. I'm going to stick his face down
- 7:02Speaker 2: on the fucking hot iron. I'm probably going to have
- 7:05Speaker 2: to set up a couple of booby traps straight out
- 7:06Speaker 2: the gate. At least to get... You've got to get
- 7:08Speaker 2: that fucker down, Gerry. You've got to get him down.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Do you have the makings of booby traps in your
- 7:13Speaker 1: house at short notice? He's across the field and closing time.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. All I can do is put a couple of...
- 7:18Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, maybe, maybe I could pull
- 7:22Speaker 2: some sort of fucking... I mean, I've got mic cables.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Could I just leave the door open and just draw
- 7:27Speaker 2: him in? Because the only way to hunt is to
- 7:29Speaker 2: corral something. The only way to hunt, you can't hunt
- 7:32Speaker 2: something in the wild. Out in the fucking vastness, you've
- 7:35Speaker 2: got to corral it. So I think corral him, let
- 7:36Speaker 2: him in the front door. I'll turn the lights off
- 7:39Speaker 2: in the hall and leave the lights on in the
- 7:41Speaker 2: other rooms around. And I think that's the only way.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Get him to the ground and a full box of
- 7:46Speaker 2: shells in the pocket. That's all I can do, Ger.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I know we could talk about knives. I could go
- 7:51Speaker 2: full Macaulay Culkin on this and heat up this thing
- 7:53Speaker 2: and cook. Ain't got the time. I think run a
- 7:55Speaker 2: cable across the door. Trip him. Because he's a goofy fuck, right?
- 7:58Speaker 2: They do all.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Oh, that's what you're doing with my cable. I thought
- 8:00Speaker 1: you were going to lure him in to do like a...
- 8:02Speaker 1: A tight fight. Oh, yeah, we'll just have a little
- 8:03Speaker 1: sit down here with Jason. Where's Jason? What would you
- 8:05Speaker 1: like to say here?
- 8:06Speaker 2: No, that's my good, strong fucking trip cable. Get him
- 8:10Speaker 2: to the ground. And just empty as many as I
- 8:12Speaker 2: can into the fucker. And just hope for best at
- 8:16Speaker 2: that stage. Excellent. Excellent.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Well, Tom... I'll let you know how I do with
- 8:21Speaker 1: Michael over here, and then we can decide whether or
- 8:23Speaker 1: not we actually survive these scenarios. Michael Myers, slow moving,
- 8:28Speaker 1: comes walking at you. I've watched all the Halloween movies, Tom.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I've never seen the fucker break into a run.
- 8:32Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. No, no. I mean, that mask for
- 8:34Speaker 2: any trivia people out there, do you know what the
- 8:36Speaker 2: mask is?
- 8:38Speaker 1: Oh, it's William Shatner painted white.
- 8:39Speaker 2: No, it's Inside Out.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Oh, is it Inside Out?
- 8:42Speaker 2: Inside Out, yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, there you go. But I'll tell you what
- 8:44Speaker 1: it is. It's hard to breathe through, so his labored
- 8:47Speaker 1: breathing is going to slow him down. I am doing
- 8:51Speaker 1: very like what you're doing, Tom. I am leaving the
- 8:53Speaker 1: front door open so that he comes in. And I
- 8:56Speaker 1: am juking around the back of the house, out across
- 9:00Speaker 1: the wall. Then I am running, Tom.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Do we have our own cars also, by the way?
- 9:07Speaker 1: You know, let's make it fair.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Let's not have cars because anybody can drive away. Yeah, okay.
- 9:12Speaker 1: But I've enjoyed years of running, Tom. And I think
- 9:16Speaker 1: I should put that into good use, running away from something.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I'm not confronting this man. I'm not getting within 20
- 9:22Speaker 1: yards of him. I'm getting the fuck out of Dodge.
- 9:26Speaker 1: And I'm putting these steppers on the pavement and going
- 9:30Speaker 1: until I hit Monaghan. See, I don't know if that's
- 9:32Speaker 1: enough because he seems to be kind of supernatural that
- 9:35Speaker 1: every time you're going to look over your shoulder, Gerard,
- 9:36Speaker 1: and I know you're a good runner, and I wouldn't
- 9:39Speaker 1: back my own running.
- 9:39Speaker 2: That's why I ain't running. It's not because I'm not
- 9:41Speaker 2: a coward. Absolutely.
- 9:44Speaker 1: But.
- 9:45Speaker 2: What is the magic thing that he has that every
- 9:47Speaker 2: time somebody looks over... I mean, and then you look
- 9:49Speaker 2: over your shoulder chair. We know you can trip. You
- 9:51Speaker 2: have tripped, you poor bastard, before. I am running in
- 9:54Speaker 2: the dark here, it must be said. There's a lot
- 9:56Speaker 2: of curbs until you get to Monaghan.
- 9:58Speaker 1: There's a lot of curbs. I'm hoping in this scenario
- 10:01Speaker 1: that I have been able to pull on my shoes,
- 10:04Speaker 1: but who's to say?
- 10:05Speaker 2: So, like, I just imagine for some reason, because this
- 10:08Speaker 2: always seems to be like some pretty chick, like, is running,
- 10:10Speaker 2: Gerard's just giving the whole girly, oh no!
- 10:13Speaker 1: Oh no!
- 10:14Speaker 2: Keeps running, looking over her shoulder, and Gerard just finally,
- 10:18Speaker 2: Gerard with an eye, this time.
- 10:21Speaker 1: So let's analyse it Tom I think looking at both
- 10:24Speaker 1: of our preferred escapes and based on what I've seen
- 10:26Speaker 1: these people do in movies before I don't think either
- 10:28Speaker 1: of us are making it out of this one alive
- 10:30Speaker 1: I think what your plan there which is to try
- 10:33Speaker 1: and outsmart him and bring him in and defeat him
- 10:36Speaker 1: has never worked against Jason for anybody across nine movies
- 10:39Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say you get him down you unload
- 10:41Speaker 1: the shotgun into him you sit down have a vape
- 10:44Speaker 1: with a job well done and he fucking he sits
- 10:49Speaker 1: up behind you And so be it as well with
- 10:52Speaker 1: Michael Myers. You can run, but if he is intended
- 10:55Speaker 1: to kill you, he will cross states to get you.
- 10:57Speaker 1: So I'll be up at home the next day in
- 10:59Speaker 1: my mam's house going, Jesus, mam, yeah, no, I didn't
- 11:01Speaker 1: mean to wake you up last night, but I landed
- 11:02Speaker 1: home after running from Dublin. And then you look out
- 11:05Speaker 1: the window and he's there. And at that stage, I'm
- 11:07Speaker 1: just like.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Yeah, that twinkly music in the background.
- 11:09Speaker 1: The fucking good Lord take me. One other factor that
- 11:11Speaker 1: might come into it, Tom, based on the movies is
- 11:13Speaker 1: that both Jason and Michael do tend... To prefer....
- 11:19Speaker 2: Boards.
- 11:20Speaker 1: To select victims based on their amount of sex they're having.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Oh, we're safe enough then.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Well, I was just going to say, back in the day,
- 11:29Speaker 1: if I were a teenager and they came at me, yeah,
- 11:31Speaker 1: I would have been absolutely 100% safe, Tom. I would
- 11:34Speaker 1: have made it to the credits.
- 11:36Speaker 2: You would have made it to the boat and fucking....
- 11:40Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:42Speaker 1: These days, I don't know, it's hit or miss. I
- 11:45Speaker 1: think we're both getting tracked down and killed. Let's see
- 11:48Speaker 1: how we fare, Tom, against our next guy. How about that? Nice.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Let's do it.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Our next guy, you cannot escape him. Not even in
- 11:56Speaker 1: your dreams. Because it's Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street, Tom.
- 11:59Speaker 1: His preferred method of killing you.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Is to get you while you're sleeping.
- 12:04Speaker 1: In your dreams and kill you while you sleep. So
- 12:07Speaker 1: what we got to do here, Tom, is stay awake.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Right.
- 12:12Speaker 2: So let's, like, okay, so assuming that he only wants
- 12:16Speaker 2: to kill, can we put it that we're by ourselves completely? Yes, absolutely.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Or is he happy to kill either Tom or Jerry
- 12:24Speaker 2: when he gets one of us? Like, are we competing
- 12:26Speaker 2: with each other here on this one?
- 12:27Speaker 1: I think, like, you know, in the last one, it
- 12:29Speaker 1: was Michael Myers and Jason, and they were more or
- 12:32Speaker 1: less the same person. In this regard, I think you
- 12:34Speaker 1: and I, in our 40s, similar workloads, comedians, uh.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Wintering well yeah so i think we're pretty much the
- 12:46Speaker 1: same so what goes for one will go for all
- 12:48Speaker 1: but in this scenario yes we are at home alone
- 12:50Speaker 1: in the house uh nobody to wake us up just
- 12:54Speaker 1: a fucking burning face demon running loose in our in our.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Dreams now i'm quite good at sleep deprivation um.
- 13:04Speaker 1: What comedian isn't?
- 13:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Who among us hasn't driven the corking back in one
- 13:09Speaker 1: fucking night?
- 13:10Speaker 2: So I don't really do the eight hour thing on
- 13:12Speaker 2: a regular basis. Like I talked about getting an extra
- 13:15Speaker 2: long sleep there a while back and it still lives
- 13:18Speaker 2: with me, the notion of it. Like these kids in
- 13:21Speaker 2: that movie, like they're getting full eight to 10 hour sleeps,
- 13:24Speaker 2: the little fuckers. Like most of the sleeps I have
- 13:29Speaker 2: they're fucking unbroken with fucking nightmares of reality anyway. Like,
- 13:33Speaker 2: so they're just shattered anyway.
- 13:35Speaker 1: So it's like, throw them on the pile, Freddie.
- 13:37Speaker 2: To be fair, Freddie come dragging his fingernails up along
- 13:40Speaker 2: the yoke and I'd be like, Freddie, just hold for
- 13:42Speaker 2: one second. Mortgage. Can I just, can I give you
- 13:45Speaker 2: two seconds here?
- 13:46Speaker 1: Mortgage.
- 13:46Speaker 2: One second. Yeah, go ahead there, Freddie.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Funny to say it, Tom. Yeah, Freddie Krueger will generally
- 13:51Speaker 1: attack you in your dreams based on what it is
- 13:53Speaker 1: that you are most anxious about. Yeah. So if you're
- 13:57Speaker 1: anxious about not making the American football team at school,
- 13:59Speaker 1: then he will appear to you as a team of
- 14:01Speaker 1: American footballers and trample you into the ground. I think
- 14:04Speaker 1: with both you and I, it's just a stack of
- 14:06Speaker 1: fucking admin and paperwork on top of us.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Like there's a knock-in, there's a knock-in coming from a,
- 14:12Speaker 2: I want to call it in the front wheel of
- 14:13Speaker 2: the car. I'm like, what's, I'm like, is that a sensor?
- 14:20Speaker 2: Is it a fucking what? I got to fucking get
- 14:22Speaker 2: it plugged in and checked.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Now what?
- 14:23Speaker 2: I'm going to plug in the fucking screen into the
- 14:25Speaker 2: car and look and there's Freddy looking back at me
- 14:28Speaker 2: with his fingernails.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to be like.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Fred, while you're down there, could you... With those nails,
- 14:32Speaker 2: would you mind checking the fucking wiring on that sensor,
- 14:34Speaker 2: that ABS sensor that's there, please?
- 14:36Speaker 1: And he's there like, Tom, it's bad news. Looks like
- 14:39Speaker 1: you blew your head gasket. I.
- 14:44Speaker 2: I... There's one thing about the mysteriousness of Jason and Michael.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, there's a creepiness to him. But like Freddie,
- 14:52Speaker 2: every so often, Freddie's going to show up and just
- 14:54Speaker 2: scare me with things like, Fred, fuck, man, you have
- 14:58Speaker 2: no idea. Actually, do you know what, Fred? Come for
- 15:00Speaker 2: a walk with me, Fred, for a second. I want
- 15:02Speaker 2: you to actually have a look at my fucking dreams.
- 15:05Speaker 2: All of a sudden, it cuts to me and me
- 15:08Speaker 2: and Freddie sitting down having a coffee. He's like, Jesus,
- 15:10Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, man. I had no idea. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Can you imagine getting fucking... Can you imagine facing into
- 15:16Speaker 2: a corporate of a bunch of people who fucking already
- 15:18Speaker 2: hate each other and now you've got to go out
- 15:19Speaker 2: there for an hour in front of them and fucking
- 15:20Speaker 2: be hated? Come on, Fred. Come on.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Well, Tom, this is where it might work in our
- 15:27Speaker 1: favours because, like I said, we are who we are
- 15:29Speaker 1: in these scenarios. You and I are both comedians. One working,
- 15:33Speaker 1: one lapsed, it must be said. But that's a skill
- 15:35Speaker 1: set that could help us here. Freddy Krueger, above all things,
- 15:39Speaker 1: he is scary, yes, but he's also a prick. He's
- 15:41Speaker 1: a heckler. He will fucking... Talk shit to you while
- 15:45Speaker 1: he's killing you. He'll give you one liners. I wasn't
- 15:47Speaker 1: joking with that head gasket line, you know, it'd be like,
- 15:50Speaker 1: time to put you, you know, like it's like you're
- 15:53Speaker 1: having problems with your clutch and then he grabs you
- 15:55Speaker 1: and all this kind of shit. That could work in
- 15:59Speaker 1: our favor, Tom, because both you and I have fielded
- 16:01Speaker 1: a heckler in our times.
- 16:04Speaker 2: So can I just go straight back at it? with
- 16:06Speaker 2: his stupid shit.
- 16:06Speaker 1: You can go straight back at him and time and
- 16:08Speaker 1: time again in the Nightmare on Elm Street films the
- 16:10Speaker 1: truest way to defeat Freddy Krueger is to show him
- 16:13Speaker 1: you're not afraid of him oh Grant and then he
- 16:16Speaker 1: loses all his power once you turn around and go
- 16:18Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of you Freddy he has no power
- 16:21Speaker 1: over you so what we have to do is crowd.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Work Grant Grant Freddy you got a woman with you
- 16:32Speaker 2: no I guessed because you've seen yourself right Freddy You
- 16:36Speaker 2: look like a malignant ball bag. For the love of fuck, Freddie.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Where did you get that fucking jumper? Oxfam just called.
- 16:42Speaker 2: They don't want it fucking back. Fuck me.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Tom, maybe you're not as safe as I thought.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Fucking Freddie.
- 16:51Speaker 1: You would be the pick of the two of us.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I reckon you are going to ace this because once
- 16:55Speaker 1: you get over the fear of this nightmare of being
- 16:57Speaker 1: in the NCT center or watching the car get smushed
- 17:00Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. And then it just flips
- 17:02Speaker 1: and you're getting NCT'd. Once you get over that and
- 17:05Speaker 1: you realize what's going on and he starts giving you
- 17:07Speaker 1: bad manners, your natural inclination to give him bad manners
- 17:10Speaker 1: back and best him at that. Oh, yeah.
- 17:13Speaker 2: I mean, I would welcome that from fucking Freddy, actually.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I would actually welcome that from Freddy.
- 17:18Speaker 1: So I reckon this is one that Tom survives and
- 17:20Speaker 1: I have a fighting chance, but it's entirely more likely
- 17:25Speaker 1: that I will think of the perfect zinger to tell
- 17:27Speaker 1: to Freddy Krueger after I wake up.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's only with practice.
- 17:34Speaker 1: So if I survive one night and I go to
- 17:37Speaker 1: the next night, I'll be like, hey, Freddie, remember what
- 17:39Speaker 1: you said to me last night?
- 17:40Speaker 2: Say it again. Played also by a fella called Robert England,
- 17:44Speaker 2: which never fucking sat well with me.
- 17:46Speaker 1: That actually might kick into my....
- 17:51Speaker 2: It's your next one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Tom, we're going to get a little lower with our
- 17:55Speaker 1: next guy. This guy might be small, but he is nasty.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Oh, I think I know who's coming.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew it.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I knew it.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Haunted doll Chucky. So same situation again. You don't know
- 18:06Speaker 1: Chucky's coming. You just ran the corner and there's a
- 18:08Speaker 1: two foot something malevolent talking doll with a knife in
- 18:13Speaker 1: each hand giving you shit coming at you. Now, I've
- 18:18Speaker 1: often thought about this, right?
- 18:20Speaker 2: Not fighting Chucky, but Chucky can fucking move. He can
- 18:23Speaker 2: chuck and move.
- 18:25Speaker 1: He's nimble.
- 18:25Speaker 2: He's nimble. And that's nearly scarier than a big fucking
- 18:29Speaker 2: unit coming at you. Because in one way, a big
- 18:32Speaker 2: cumbersome fucking thing, you know, death by a thousand cuts,
- 18:36Speaker 2: you can get in at him. I'm not talking about
- 18:38Speaker 2: just Jason or whatever, but you know when you think about,
- 18:41Speaker 2: as Jerry says, bears ain't shit. He could beat a bear.
- 18:44Speaker 2: But I'm telling you now, if you put two fucking
- 18:47Speaker 2: standing knives in a squirrel's hands he's fucking you up
- 18:51Speaker 2: you're not getting the odds Tom you're not getting a
- 18:53Speaker 2: glove on a squirrel like they move so quick even
- 18:57Speaker 2: when they're relaxed they're moving quick so I think of
- 18:59Speaker 2: Chucky the same fucking way this is.
- 19:01Speaker 1: The thing I mean people think like you know well
- 19:03Speaker 1: if a dog ever attacked me I would just fucking
- 19:05Speaker 1: boot it and go on about the business and so
- 19:08Speaker 1: be it with Chucky I have questions about Chucky and
- 19:11Speaker 1: he racked up a hell of a body count and
- 19:13Speaker 1: some of them were Members of the Armed Forces. So
- 19:15Speaker 1: who am I to say a fucking grey-haired fat man
- 19:20Speaker 1: cresting 50 over here? I'm going to stick a move.
- 19:23Speaker 1: But then again, as you did say, Tom, I do
- 19:25Speaker 1: believe I could fight a bear. Here's the thing with
- 19:28Speaker 1: Chucky that I could never understand. Is he a doll
- 19:33Speaker 1: or is he a little man? Because if he's a doll,
- 19:38Speaker 1: surely he's as light as a doll.
- 19:40Speaker 2: I always thought he was a doll.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Right, but is he, so does that mean that, or
- 19:44Speaker 1: is he like a tiny, he is a doll that
- 19:46Speaker 1: gets possessed and comes back to life and is evil
- 19:48Speaker 1: and all that kind of shit. But like, how much
- 19:51Speaker 1: does he weigh, I guess, is the question.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think if he comes back to life,
- 19:54Speaker 2: I mean, the ethereal notion of a soul weighs nothing.
- 20:00Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So I don't think he's
- 20:01Speaker 2: coming back and suddenly the doll is putting on four stone.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Yeah, so suddenly he's not like a four stone man.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Because if it is just like, with respect to everybody
- 20:08Speaker 1: that died in the Child's Play films... If Chucky is
- 20:11Speaker 1: in fact just the weight of a big cabbage patch
- 20:14Speaker 1: doll then I'm booting him over the fucking wall.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. Try laying a boot on a
- 20:22Speaker 2: squirrel again is what I'm saying Ger.
- 20:24Speaker 1: This is it too.
- 20:26Speaker 2: You're like Ronaldo couldn't fucking lay a boot on a
- 20:29Speaker 2: squirrel and you and I who haven't swung a boot
- 20:31Speaker 2: at a ball in fucking 30 years like our notion
- 20:35Speaker 2: is fucking great but I don't know. I think that
- 20:38Speaker 2: fucker has your fucking, he's got your hamstring cut. You know,
- 20:41Speaker 2: your Achilles cut. As you're booting through the air and
- 20:45Speaker 2: he's just fucking sidestepped you. I think, again, a deck
- 20:48Speaker 2: by a thousand cuts. I do think, now, I know
- 20:52Speaker 2: cats are super strong and I'm wondering about his strength
- 20:54Speaker 2: because he does seem to be a super strong little fucker.
- 20:57Speaker 2: But I think body weight, if you can get up
- 20:59Speaker 2: on top of him, I think you've got to get
- 21:01Speaker 2: down on the ground on top of him. If you
- 21:02Speaker 2: can find a way to mince him, and the only
- 21:04Speaker 2: flappy thing I see about him is I think... Go
- 21:08Speaker 2: into full Tiger Kung Fu... And get down low... And
- 21:10Speaker 2: get a head... Handful of that fucking hair... And suffer
- 21:13Speaker 2: that one arm... Is going to have to... Fuck cut
- 21:15Speaker 2: out of it... By his knives... And then I think...
- 21:18Speaker 2: Mount the cunt... Then I think... Mount him... And with
- 21:21Speaker 2: everything you have... You're going to have to... If the skull...
- 21:23Speaker 2: If he is made of... Doll head... I think you
- 21:27Speaker 2: just need to fucking light him up with everything you have.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Even if you've got your own fucking stumpy bones in
- 21:32Speaker 2: that hand, I think you've just got to keep on
- 21:33Speaker 2: fucking stabbing until you bust open that doll head. That's
- 21:36Speaker 2: the only way.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I think so. I think so. And not for nothing
- 21:39Speaker 1: as well, you know, fighting a little fucking ghoul running
- 21:43Speaker 1: around like that. How do you thump? You know what
- 21:48Speaker 1: I mean? You're swinging at nothing. You've got to fucking
- 21:50Speaker 1: stoop down. Your stance is all out of place. I'm
- 21:52Speaker 1: no fighter thump, but I reckon I could swing one
- 21:54Speaker 1: good thump at someone.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I did, yeah.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Several good thumps at any given bear. But like when
- 21:59Speaker 1: you're swiping at something that's like down floor level, your
- 22:03Speaker 1: balance is going to be all off.
- 22:05Speaker 2: It's the start of an uppercut. That's all you're ever
- 22:08Speaker 2: going to get at him. Like, you know what I mean?
- 22:09Speaker 2: You're never going to get a fucking right hook. You're
- 22:11Speaker 2: never going to jab him. I think the only way,
- 22:13Speaker 2: if you can, and I'm saying if you can, I
- 22:15Speaker 2: genuinely think, Gerard, this one, you'd probably last longer than
- 22:19Speaker 2: you would with some of the others. Yes. But I
- 22:22Speaker 2: think he's getting us both with a thousand cuts.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I'm going to give us a fighting chance.
- 22:27Speaker 2: A fighting chance, but I would say it's 55-45 to
- 22:30Speaker 2: Chucky because the fucker moves fast. And assuming he's got
- 22:33Speaker 2: his standard set of fucking kitchen knives with him and
- 22:37Speaker 2: we don't, I'm going to say 55-45 Chucky for us
- 22:41Speaker 2: on this one, realistically.
- 22:44Speaker 1: I'm going to say a fighting chance with the possibility
- 22:47Speaker 1: of perhaps the most humiliating of all these deaths. where
- 22:51Speaker 1: I go to kick him whiff it fall he just
- 22:54Speaker 1: fucking slits me through when I hit the ground.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Yeah that's it could be over as quick as that
- 23:00Speaker 2: it really could well here we go Tom we're rocking
- 23:03Speaker 2: and rolling with these here now I've got a couple more.
- 23:06Speaker 1: The next one Tom is would we survive the movie
- 23:09Speaker 1: Hellraiser Tom you're in the house by yourself then you
- 23:14Speaker 1: notice there's a mysterious puzzle box yes the puzzle box
- 23:18Speaker 1: is this the one that pricks my finger Once you
- 23:22Speaker 1: solve the puzzle, yes. Now, once you are, you know,
- 23:25Speaker 1: in some iterations of Hellraiser, it pricks your finger on
- 23:27Speaker 1: your gut. In other iterations, it's just solving the puzzle
- 23:30Speaker 1: opens the door to hell where a bunch of demons
- 23:33Speaker 1: come out and claim your soul for their own. We
- 23:36Speaker 1: know this, haven't seen the films. You don't know this.
- 23:40Speaker 1: All you know is there's a gold Rubik's cube sitting
- 23:43Speaker 1: on your kitchen table. Do you make it through the night?
- 23:46Speaker 2: 100% on this one.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Absolutely 100% you and I are walking out of the
- 23:54Speaker 1: house down to computer exchange asking how much will you
- 23:59Speaker 1: give me for this 100% that.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Thing's going to the Oxfam the next day I have
- 24:05Speaker 2: like people think you know like people have bought me
- 24:08Speaker 2: presents in the past because I you know I was
- 24:12Speaker 2: an engineer and stuff and they for some reason have
- 24:14Speaker 2: this notion that I love you know those office based
- 24:18Speaker 2: you know, office desk bakes, fucking Chinese fucking.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Toys and puzzles and shit.
- 24:22Speaker 2: And there's a guy, there's a program on Netflix, I
- 24:24Speaker 2: would urge anybody to watch it, it's called Obsessed and
- 24:26Speaker 2: it's a little short vignette, like it's like 15 minutes
- 24:30Speaker 2: with these people that are fucking burnt into doing this
- 24:33Speaker 2: one particular thing. Like one guy is incredible at Lego
- 24:36Speaker 2: and one guy is the most phenomenal carpenter you've ever
- 24:40Speaker 2: seen for making these puzzles. And I'm watching, I'm going, jeez, wow.
- 24:44Speaker 2: But there is not one fucking milli drop of want
- 24:49Speaker 2: in me to go at any of them i couldn't
- 24:52Speaker 2: give half a fuck about a rube scoop never did
- 24:55Speaker 2: never people like i got them as kids i just
- 25:00Speaker 2: never gave half of and if here's the thing i've
- 25:05Speaker 2: tried them and i got super fucking bored real quick
- 25:09Speaker 2: and i don't think hell raisers box like there isn't
- 25:12Speaker 2: a I just really got to fucking get this. You know,
- 25:15Speaker 2: I really got to get this thing. I got to,
- 25:17Speaker 2: got to, I got to open. No, I, no, I
- 25:19Speaker 2: get that way with some stuff. Like if, you know,
- 25:22Speaker 2: I think that's actually practical and I fucking need it
- 25:25Speaker 2: to work. Yeah, I'll get that way with it. But
- 25:28Speaker 2: if it's a, what I, it's considered a toy, I
- 25:31Speaker 2: find no toy in that shit.
- 25:33Speaker 1: I'm with you on this one, Tom. I am, I
- 25:35Speaker 1: am surviving this one handy. I've never been able to
- 25:37Speaker 1: get a side on a Rubik's Cube and I can't
- 25:40Speaker 1: put together Lego without the fucking instructions. And I'm talking
- 25:44Speaker 1: about Duplo Lego.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Even at that, I'm okay. And himself loves K'Nex and
- 25:52Speaker 2: he loves Lego and he's putting all these... Now, to
- 25:54Speaker 2: be fair, none of the characters that he has looks
- 25:57Speaker 2: anything like what they did on the box because he's
- 26:00Speaker 2: put fucking demon heads on. Yeah, of course. You know,
- 26:03Speaker 2: he's fucked up everything and it's beautiful. That's what I appreciate.
- 26:08Speaker 2: But it's putting it together to see, like, am I
- 26:12Speaker 2: going to make the fucking what do you call it
- 26:13Speaker 2: from Star Wars the fucking the big dead star the
- 26:17Speaker 2: dead am I fuck I wouldn't make the dead pebble
- 26:24Speaker 2: Ger I lose I lose commitment I lose such commitment
- 26:28Speaker 2: in the middle of these things and I can commit
- 26:30Speaker 2: to that I've no commitment to any of that bullshit
- 26:34Speaker 2: at all I.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Never have never have if they want to get me
- 26:37Speaker 1: if they want to get me sometimes in the Hellraiser
- 26:39Speaker 1: movies if anybody's seen them The box is this unsolvable thing,
- 26:43Speaker 1: but if you do solve it, you get granted access
- 26:45Speaker 1: to hell and all this kind of crap. The trick
- 26:47Speaker 1: being people are like, oh shit, I thought I was
- 26:48Speaker 1: going to get a load of money or fucking get
- 26:50Speaker 1: the ride or whatever like that. You're telling me now,
- 26:52Speaker 1: oh shit, I didn't know I was opening this fucking
- 26:53Speaker 1: thing to hell. That's how they get you, Tom. Every
- 26:57Speaker 1: fucker that lays hands on that box solves it. It's
- 27:00Speaker 1: a twist and a click and a boom. To the
- 27:02Speaker 1: point that some people are like, yeah, the box is
- 27:04Speaker 1: easy to get as many people as possible. So even
- 27:07Speaker 1: a fucking dumb fuck like you and I would probably
- 27:09Speaker 1: be able to solve it. I'm just not going near it.
- 27:12Speaker 1: If they want to get me, Tom, with this kind
- 27:14Speaker 1: of shit, what they want to do is like have
- 27:17Speaker 1: some haunted Ikea or some haunted flat pack that I
- 27:22Speaker 1: put together and Swedish demons come out and they're like,
- 27:24Speaker 1: we're here to get you, sir. I'm like, ah, you
- 27:29Speaker 1: fucking have me. That's me.
- 27:30Speaker 2: I just put together a set of drawers of Mexican
- 27:33Speaker 2: pine and be like, Mr. Manny. It is me. What's
- 27:40Speaker 2: the day of the dead again where they all come
- 27:42Speaker 2: up with their faces painted?
- 27:43Speaker 1: With all the faces, yeah. And then, like, you know,
- 27:45Speaker 1: we cut to Tom and he's just strung up like
- 27:46Speaker 1: a pinata getting the shit beaten out of him.
- 27:48Speaker 2: That's what I get for using a fucking impact driver
- 27:50Speaker 2: when they told me to use a fucking hand screwdriver. Shit. Shit. Yeah,
- 27:55Speaker 2: that's about the only way, but I would... If I...
- 27:58Speaker 2: I would walk the fucking dust that would gather... The
- 28:01Speaker 2: pinhead would get so fucking annoyed with me. The dust
- 28:04Speaker 2: that would gather on that fucking thing sitting... I wouldn't fucking...
- 28:09Speaker 2: I wouldn't fucking... Jesus Christ.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Well, Tom, even if Pinhead did arrive to URI's house,
- 28:16Speaker 1: if ever there was a pair of boys that had
- 28:17Speaker 1: a claw hammer in their possession, they'd go on a
- 28:22Speaker 1: wee second by, do you want them nails out or
- 28:24Speaker 1: do you want them all the way in?
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a lovely yoke for pulling
- 28:28Speaker 2: them out of fucking fencing posts. I can fucking no
- 28:30Speaker 2: bother sit still, but I'll pull them all out.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Yeah, play the hand on that. Tom there we go
- 28:34Speaker 1: we didn't die all the time we didn't make it
- 28:37Speaker 1: through all of them either so all that to say
- 28:40Speaker 1: is we have a little bit of prep if we
- 28:41Speaker 1: want to see next Halloween other than that there's a
- 28:46Speaker 1: usual array of Dracula's and the what not Dracula wouldn't
- 28:51Speaker 1: stake through the heart Tom you tell me you don't
- 28:53Speaker 1: have a fence post about the house I.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Actually made a couple of timber stakes last night for
- 28:58Speaker 2: pinning down a big fucking Halloween decoration Grant When I
- 29:03Speaker 2: held them up, it was like, they're very vampire-ish looking, actually.
- 29:07Speaker 1: But anyway. Yeah, we have zombies, Tom. If it's the
- 29:10Speaker 1: slow version, you know, the lumbering slow version of them.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I'll have time to get the fucking gun safe open.
- 29:14Speaker 1: We'll get the hell out of there. If it's the
- 29:16Speaker 1: fast version, like the real mad 28 Days Later running version, nah, fuck, no.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I'm just standing out in the road with my hands
- 29:22Speaker 1: out going like, yeah, go on ahead, lads. Have at it.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I'm not running away from you, lads.
- 29:27Speaker 2: And if it's the purge, Tom.
- 29:29Speaker 1: If it's the purge.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Oh, I'm all in on that. I'm all in on that.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Something tells me you'll.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Be out doing a fucking purge rather than defending the house.
- 29:38Speaker 2: I think I'd be yeah I'd be alright on that one.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah the purge is the one that you
- 29:42Speaker 1: do get 24 hours notice on so you you know
- 29:45Speaker 1: it's coming because it's purge night it's like it's not
- 29:47Speaker 1: like you're fucking it's not like St. Patrick's Day creeps
- 29:50Speaker 1: up on you it's like you know it's coming.
