- 1:02I there's the summer, now, Tom, that's it. That's the summer.
- 1:07No messing about that now. I had to put the planes all the
- 1:10way down so I could see you. I know, I have a lovely
- 1:12reddish glow. I'm not sunburnt to people. I just was in the cold
- 1:17environment today and I bust out into the heat and it's after my Irish skin.
- 1:22It is screaming at me now. So I'm glad to be in the
- 1:26podcast studio, Jerry talking to you, to be honest with I am.
- 1:29On the other hand, Tom, I'm very sunburned. I'm terribly sorry.
- 1:32First rays sun hit me. I just went out and got absolutely roasted.
- 1:34But I'll tell you, we had a beautiful weekend the first rays of sunshine
- 1:38came to us. And whereas I gotta tell you, Tom, I wasn't
- 1:42stereotypical about it. I didn't immediately start mowing the lawn, did you not.
- 1:48But what I did immediately start doing, Tom, was fixing the lawn
- 1:51moreh well, yeah, yeah, yeah, flick it over on the footpath.
- 1:55Did you pull the spark plug is electric? Or pull? It's an
- 1:57electric Tim of what I did was I snapped the blade on it. And
- 2:02now it takes a peculiar type of ignorance to snap a blade on a lawnmar
- 2:06but here I am right. So I got a replacement blade, lovely stuff,
- 2:10and I was like, okay, I must get that into it.
- 2:13And then all of a sudden sunshine, right, okay, come on,
- 2:15let's do it, and turned it over and I found that I could not
- 2:19because to get how he's all doing. By the way, welcome along to
- 2:22the Tom and Jerry Show, lest we forget. I'm Jerry McBride and that's
- 2:28Tom. O'Mahoney over there. You're very welcome along to this week's episode.
- 2:30We started at a gallop there, so we did. You're just very excited
- 2:35and I understand it. I understand. Yeah, you had to scrape off
- 2:38the dried out grass some last year, yeah, two years. Did you
- 2:43put a vite scripts on the old blade? And then just the problem,
- 2:46Tom, there was no old blade to put it onto it because the old
- 2:49blade had completely snapped off what so, so it snapped in half. Yeah,
- 2:53but so there was no blade left inside the bolt at all. No,
- 2:58you aren't ignorant us I will. There's a phrase that go that is
- 3:01known, and it was said to me all through my childhood. You would
- 3:04break a fucking iron, and by God you did. Guilty is charged.
- 3:08As we say up airway, you'd hoop a crowbar in a bog. I
- 3:13do love that one. I do love that one. Yeah, yeah,
- 3:15no, I snapped it off completely. And for those unfamiliar with lawnmower repair,
- 3:20when you put the socket on the nut that holds the blade in,
- 3:23you're supposed to hold the blade and that will give you the purchase to turn
- 3:27it. But with no blade, as I turn the nut, the thing
- 3:30just keeps spinning and I'm out of options here, Tombs, there's nothing to
- 3:32grab it with the grip branches. It's too small for a grip branches.
- 3:36So I had to go up to our local tool depository and by myself a
- 3:40pair of needle nosed vice scripts tom which I did not have in my tool
- 3:45chest, and I'm like, look, this will either fix the lawnmowar or
- 3:49I will have a pair of needle nose vice gripts. Yeah, did you
- 3:52fix the lawnmore? No, but I have a pair of needle nose vice
- 3:53gripts which you will never use, never use again, but I use them
- 3:59nest time you that much. No, that things, that things for the
- 4:01for the things. I'm terribly sorry, but you're all very welcome along to
- 4:05the show, Tom, did you have as an event as event full of
- 4:11weekend as that as I as easy for you to say, I did.
- 4:14I did what every Irish person should have done, and I don't get to
- 4:16do enough. I gigged on Friday night down at the beautiful Don Garvin.
- 4:19But then I got drunk afterwards. That's the style. Yeah I did.
- 4:25I was so caught up in the heat and the fun and everything and all
- 4:28the rest of it. And I got to meet I got to hang out
- 4:30with the fantastic ever from that fantastic theode okay, and we went met More
- 4:35dun for friend of the podcast, friend of the podcast. Yes, met
- 4:40More Dunford of Vikings Fame okay, and hung out and we had a lovely
- 4:46time in on Garvan and yeah I got him. But you know what I
- 4:48did, Jerry, I did something very mature. I knew when I had
- 4:54enough, which is quite a turning point. In my life, I can
- 4:57tell you it's a that's a lesson hard learned. I'll tell you that much.
- 5:00Well. I knew I was going to be in Cleaned the following night
- 5:02with Neil Delamer, so you know, there you go, there you go.
- 5:06Well, you know, spare talk for your brother over here wrestling with
- 5:10a lawn or while you're having great crack, regardless of which, Harry is
- 5:15all keeping. We're going to launch into the show here this week one.
- 5:17As everybody knows now, we start each show where we look at the week's
- 5:20big noise, Tom the Brew haha, the talk of the town, weekly,
- 5:25what have you? This is a very complicated case, mad, You
- 5:29know, a lot of ian's, a lot of outs, a lot of
- 5:30what have you, and uh, a lot of strands to keep in my
- 5:33head man, lovely right, the weekly what have you? You? We
- 5:39like this has been on the tip of my brain to even just sit down
- 5:43and talk to you, because whens soon as you mentioned him, like,
- 5:46how does McBride know the inside of my head? This is it's it's because
- 5:50we are basically the same person and media goes after us exactly the same.
- 5:56And as soon as you said it, I went yeah, because I saw
- 5:59this coming about two years ago. This is the This is like the big
- 6:03short where people kind of saw it common and trade against it. Tom saw
- 6:09this coming a couple of years ago and wanted to do an episode on it,
- 6:13and it just never it just never came to get together. But now
- 6:16it is upon us, Tom. The tsunami is about to hit the shore.
- 6:19And I give you a clue, a telltale point if people want to
- 6:25pause and guess what are the lads on about? If we haven't written in
- 6:27this description. I cut my mullet off around the time I had enough,
- 6:33because my mullet would have been tied in with the notion of this kind of
- 6:36carry on and whatnot and everything else. I got my mulled off, damn
- 6:40near two a year and a bit ago now at this stage, and I
- 6:43just I said, Jerry, this is getting out hunt this give it to
- 6:46them. Tom. What are we talking about? We are talking about,
- 6:48Well, it's it's now spun up to nuclear level, because it's gone all
- 6:53the way to Queen Bee. But it is it's the resurgence of well heavy,
- 6:58heavy amounts of all things country that is going on worldwide at the minute.
- 7:02And I we are both country fans people that knows, and a lot
- 7:08of people are long term with us. You'll know that we are country fans,
- 7:10but we're more of a kind of Willie Jennings Willie Nelson singing about your
- 7:15dog and you know, bits of your body falling off during hard you know,
- 7:21Horsey sessions and whatnot. But it has spun up into something absolutely out
- 7:26of control that can be only like everything comes in a secular Jerry, I
- 7:30was in Wexford this time circle. I was in Wexford this time last year,
- 7:34about to drive up to do a gig, and I saw three girls,
- 7:38four girls, a biggy pardon that could only be described as Spice girl
- 7:44esque in what they're wearing. I had to double look. I was expecting
- 7:46to see like a yellow I FI had punto somewhere. I says, is
- 7:49this nineteen ninety four or what is happening? Because everything, all these girls
- 7:55were exactly looked like the Spice Girls, And this is exactly what's happening again
- 8:01everything, what does it? Tom give it to them? What is it?
- 8:03It's line dancing, Jerry. I knew just line dancing. I knew
- 8:05just coming when I started watching Yellowstone two and a half years ago, I
- 8:09said, this is too cool of a show that the world won't catch on.
- 8:13Kevin Costner is to blame for line dancing. I'm just saying, Hevin
- 8:16Costner, this is indeed, ladies and gentlemen, the resurgence of line dancing
- 8:22in recent times, as as popped out of us with an article that we've
- 8:26seen. We're like, oh, holy crap, it is back. Line
- 8:28dancing is back. They're attributing, as Tom said there to Queen Bee Beyonce
- 8:33herself with the release of her Cowboy Carter album Tom, which I had to
- 8:37listen to, and I am not a fan. We're not going to get
- 8:41too deep into that water. But it ain't. It ain't my breed of
- 8:45country. But to all those that like it, may or God go with
- 8:48you. How can you have a country album? Tom, and not mentioned
- 8:52your dog dying? Not once, I'm sorry, not once. Not one
- 8:54dead dog in that whole album. Sorry. No, no falling out with
- 8:58the neighbors, no nothing, no heavy drinking, nothing does at no point
- 9:03does she At no point is there a song where at the start of it
- 9:05she buys a gun and at the end of it she shoots someone. So
- 9:11just follow the Randy Travis model. There'll be sadness throughout. Blood should be
- 9:15running out of your Bluetooth speaker. As you listen to a proper country sound,
- 9:18you should be inspired to go get a big erron on your hip.
- 9:22But regardless of which it is country, apparently, going getting your lexus and
- 9:28throwing your keys up is oh my god. If I didn't think she had
- 9:33to pander for a few pounds to be honest, honestly, I think it's
- 9:35just like it's it's just hoovering up the last remnants of money, Like what
- 9:39have I not got? It's gonna be the opera next, it's gonna be
- 9:41the Beyonce opera album. Just yes, anybody that was on the fence before,
- 9:46well we got the opera fans as well. But Tom, it has
- 9:48brought with it the line dancing. What you said was bubbling under all these
- 9:54years, and now it is back, Tom the boot scutin the pushing it's
- 9:58line dance. People don't know there were people born and reared in a line
- 10:05dancing free world, but we are the ones that were at the precipice of
- 10:07it back in the early nineties, and here it is time as a flat
- 10:13circle coming back at us again. Tom, I gotta ask you a question.
- 10:16I know what you're gonna ask me, And you can't ask you a
- 10:18question. You know, sometimes you know the answer before you ask these things.
- 10:22Did you line dance back in the day? What do you reckon?
- 10:24Jerry? Absolutely, without a shadow of doubt you line dancing class. I
- 10:30didn't. I didn't be and I but here's the thing. I didn't see
- 10:33anything wrong with it at the time, because of course Garth Brooks was to
- 10:35blame at the time, because he was you know what I mean, he
- 10:39was and he still is Garth Brooks. And at least he has you know
- 10:43what I mean, You could say, okay, well, if he's taken
- 10:45it to the masses, then fair enough. But I think it would have
- 10:48been in Ireland anyway. The countributes the thing, and he's made he made
- 10:50it a global popular genre. But like and he it was lind Dancy tunes
- 10:56and I don't I don't think line danson ever went to in some parts of
- 11:00the world, no more than I reckon it was like river dance was you
- 11:05know, hot ship when river dance was out, But it's not like Irish
- 11:07dancing hasn't always been there, yes, yes, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
- 11:11I didn't. And I remember watching on one time and I just couldn't bring
- 11:16myself to doing that. It was at the local sports complex and I was
- 11:20there to play some sport and I remember looking over the balcony, this long
- 11:24balcony as these sports and there was must have been an entire basketball court.
- 11:30That's that came to me as soon as we started talking about it. I
- 11:31was like, you could, like six months ago, you couldn't have filled
- 11:35a postage now, but the amount of people that would have wanted the line
- 11:39dance out in public. This was a full basketball court with maybe only four
- 11:43feet between each people. Whatever a step is, do you know whatever that
- 11:46is in a meter? I don't know the army you gotta hold your arm,
- 11:52You're not I know what the distances you're supposed to keep because but it
- 11:56was amazing to watch because people were stepping on each other ankles Tipperary, people
- 12:00that would seem are better at hurling than they are. It's amazing. It's
- 12:05amazing to me. Tom, like that's a real Billy Elliott scene. There
- 12:07of Tom up front and weights upstairs in the gym looking down lovingly at all
- 12:13these people dancing, wishing he was down there instead he has to lie under
- 12:16the metal. I'm gonna ask you a question, buddy, Yeah, really
- 12:20you may be qualified to answer and score. Not my simplicity over here,
- 12:24buddy, All right, okay, what is lying dance? Let me let
- 12:31me let me let me pull that out a little bit, okay, like
- 12:35was it a new thing with the guard books craze or was it always a
- 12:41form of country dancing? What I'm basically saying to you is, did somebody
- 12:45invent it? Is a tibo for country? Do you know what? That's
- 12:48a great because tibo was Yes, Billy Blanks combined was dancing, the rose
- 12:56was boxing, and Billy Blanks just put it together, you know, I
- 13:00imagine was was did someone sit down and go Hang on a second, I
- 13:03can see the dancing they're doing over there, So what if we made a
- 13:07formation and oh and line dancing was born? Well da civil war? Think
- 13:15about what you're watching your and I think if we go back even further,
- 13:18I now I should ask my mother and two sisters who went to that line
- 13:22dancing classes, as I remember as a child. But yes, Irelanders blame
- 13:28for an awful lot of country music and country and western things as we talked
- 13:33about before, like you know, the idea of the hillbilly is leaving and
- 13:37the little southern drawl and all the rest of it. And if you look
- 13:39at what you're looking at, Olive done is kind of cowboy moves with their
- 13:43you know, your thumbs and your loops on your belt and showing your heels.
- 13:46But they're line dancing, which is essentially the Siege of Venice, which
- 13:50is essentially set dancing. It is set dancing, set dancing through a filter,
- 13:56Yeah, through a filter of denim and check shirts, you know what
- 14:00I mean? So I reckon, So maybe you know, we can we
- 14:03can throw it up to the listeners because I'm not locking this up. You
- 14:05know. Was it the case that at the box socials of the day back
- 14:13in the Civil War, that there was some form of square dancing, which
- 14:16I understand was a cowboy term, and then the Irish came in and between
- 14:20the two it became line dancing, and then Garbrooks hits in the nineties and
- 14:26then it's a big thing now, charact here's the open. Is it going
- 14:31to explode again? Like like it's are we too far gone? Are we
- 14:35too far out of the realm of the youth, the youth in it to
- 14:39know that kids are kids like seventeen eighteen year olds? Are they line dancing?
- 14:45Because I know Jivant is hot up the north, but are kids doing
- 14:50it here in Ireland? Are they going out on a Friday evening to go,
- 14:54let's go line dancing in the local you know what I mean? Are
- 14:58they? I know, I don't know. It's on every associates. It's
- 15:03again because according to the report that we read in this week's weekly what have
- 15:07you it had? You can't drive one hundred yards down the road in the
- 15:11States with a encountering a line dancing. When you're getting posts Malone now doing
- 15:16country you know what I mean, They're all given it a go, like
- 15:20before you know, Scooter is going to be doing a country album, like
- 15:24it's Scooter back in Tennessee. But there's fit like I'm seeing fitness line dancing.
- 15:37There's well, I mean, there's fitness everything. There's fitness, goat
- 15:39fitness and never put there's fitness line dancing. It's all over my social media
- 15:43from the States, and I'm wondering will it take off here in Ireland.
- 15:46I don't see why not because normally when it comes to anything country Ireland is
- 15:52unashamed. And how they'll like, we're just waiting for it to happen.
- 15:56Look at the Garbrooks phenomena. Do you know what I mean? It ain't
- 15:58got us twice? He got us twice. He got us two times.
- 16:02Tom, could have gotten us three times, could have gotten us fiers seven
- 16:04times, depend on how much. But it just wasn't motivated to do so.
- 16:08But there you go. That's our weekly. What have you for the
- 16:11week? Beyonce herself, braving her work to the world by bringing line dancing
- 16:15back to the good people. Are you line dancing at the minute? You
- 16:18plan the line dance in the future? Lar know in the comments, Tom,
- 16:22how do you feel about that? Let him have it? Let him
- 16:23have it? Okay, So come here, Tom, We've forced for the
- 16:30Tom and Jerry Show with this next segment. Yes, indeed, everybody will
- 16:33know that at this stage we take a look at someone who stood out this
- 16:36week, the type that when you're talking about them, you don't just say,
- 16:38oh, yeah, you know, there's this lad, Tom, You
- 16:41say, and then there's this lad. Now there's that guy. Well,
- 16:48it's different this week, not because we're trying to balance the books or anything
- 16:52like that, but we do. Just how it bounced. It just how
- 16:55it bounce. We have this lad been this lady. Yeah, it it
- 17:00just popped up like as that when it knows you're looking, when your phone
- 17:03knows what you're looking for. It doesn't throw me anything of the normal.
- 17:07It's the variety. It was a Brazilian woman. Now, I more than
- 17:10anything, I want to kind of get get your opinion on this, because
- 17:14I kind of liked it in all fairness, and I mean this one is
- 17:18yeah, yeah, she was in a tough bind. This woman, a
- 17:21Brazilian woman by the name of Erica. She was arrested after taking a corpse
- 17:25to sign a bank loan that she knew was already dead. She wheeled her
- 17:29lithargic looking uncle into Brazilian bank clerks. The sense something was a miss.
- 17:33I don't think he's well, I mean, yeah, it was only it
- 17:38was only a handy loan about three thousand dollars. But like that, suspicions
- 17:44arose when she kind of forced the pen into the sixty eight year old's hand
- 17:48and started to move it around weekend at Bernie's esque. I gotta tell you
- 17:53one thing to call. I gotta tell you one thing. You described the
- 17:57man as lithargic looking. It's lithargic. I didn't. This is the Guardian.
- 18:07The lithargic looking is well, it's it's not how I would usually describe
- 18:12a corpse. I've worked with a few lithargic look on lads. To be
- 18:17honest with you, I'm a lethargic man on occasion myself. I gotta tell
- 18:19you about this lady. And it's in real divisionaire Okay, So money might
- 18:25be hard to come by, yes, okay, ah, And generally I
- 18:30do enjoy a grift Tom Yeah, you know, but even I must draw
- 18:36the line sometimes, or at least it will draw an exasperation out of me
- 18:40where I have to go. Ah here, yeah, but that's why she's
- 18:44this week's this lad like to that. That's what That's what you gotta do,
- 18:48get your way onto the You have to go above and beyond. Literally,
- 18:56you have to go beyond what is capable by mortal men. But here's
- 19:02the man. Now she knows this about herself, is that she can go
- 19:06there if needs be. But to be fair, Uncle Barney was only gone
- 19:10two hours. He was only gone two hours, so to be fair that
- 19:15he could have made the agreement over breakfast and then not made it to lunch.
- 19:18Do you know what I mean? You're like, well, a deal's
- 19:21a deal, uncie. We're going, we're going, let's pull this apart.
- 19:26Okay. So this lady here, what was her name there, Erika
- 19:29Vierra none Is. I want to say, you said it far more eloquence
- 19:37than I would. I would have went. Let me let me know our
- 19:41Brazilian listeners if I'm if I'm nailing that pronunciation. There, she wields her
- 19:48let's as it is, Tom, her dead uncle, dead uncle, yeah,
- 19:53into the bank and fills out a form which he has to then sign
- 19:57and U it's it's it's it's ghoulish to watch. He is a dead man.
- 20:06I can't say that enough. He is. I don't want to go
- 20:08all Monty Python, but he has ceased to be yeah yeah, and she's
- 20:14there, as you say, it's a forcing de pen into his hand as
- 20:17sign and the staff are like, now, lads, now, like I
- 20:22have to. I've I've worked in retail myself a couple of times, Tom,
- 20:27and every now and then a customer will come in and they'll want to
- 20:30paint their skirting board with creaso, yes, because varnish is too expensive and
- 20:36you can't talk to them out of it. I'm like, that's going to
- 20:37stink the house out and never ever, It's not like you paint it and
- 20:41it smells for a day that you're gonna have a stink of creso in your
- 20:45house forever whatever. Yeah, and they're not to be talked down from it.
- 20:48Okay. So I know I'm not saying I know what it's like to
- 20:52be a bank teller watching a dead man have a pen shoved into his hand.
- 20:56But I feel her, I feel her field their situation. Yeah,
- 21:03I get it, and they have a job to do, Jerry, But
- 21:06banks have robbed themselves in the past. This is it. This is what
- 21:10we get around. This is when you turn around and same as moon as,
- 21:12you should not be. You should not be drawing down alone. Here's
- 21:15the other thing, Tom, that's that's an important factor in all this.
- 21:18She is not getting her dead uncle to sign his savings over to Yeah,
- 21:25she's not stealing his money. Yeah, she's stealing the bank's money. Yeah,
- 21:30And I kind of respect that kind of Jerry, kind of Jerry.
- 21:34I want one respective I don't. I don't. I don't condone her methods,
- 21:41but I like that she's not like, oh uncle, didn't you say
- 21:45that you wanted to sign over your savings to me? Oh uncle, didn't
- 21:48you say that you wanted to transfer whatever it is to me? It's like,
- 21:52hey, uncle, you know, didn't you want to take out a
- 21:53three grand loan even though you're sixty eight years and who's given her three grand
- 21:57loan to a sixty eight year old man? Listen? He could what did
- 22:00he fill in on the thing, like, you know, home improvements?
- 22:08Maybe you could do a lot with your home for three and a half grand
- 22:11or three grand or whatever it was. And maybe just all he wanted was
- 22:15new wind the boards, who knows the look of them? He needed at
- 22:17least a stairlift there you go. Look at I'm saying I when I read
- 22:22it, and I immediately first off, because you hear these out stories when
- 22:25somebody's passed or whatever and they're you know, somebody had been drawn their you
- 22:29know, their pension for six months after or they make out that they said,
- 22:33you know, they ad one they had signed that field over to me
- 22:34and whatnot. Serick had done. None of this all she needed, much
- 22:40like any guaranteur situation, you just need the presence of the guaranteur there,
- 22:44really, do you know what I mean? And that's all she needed.
- 22:48Uncie was going to be put to rest when the time was right, but
- 22:52it was two hours after he passed. Chances sor he'd made an agreement before
- 22:56that. And you have to remember too, Jerry, we're very precious about
- 22:59these kind of things in the West, especially like when it comes to you
- 23:02know, people passing and stuff in, especially when it comes to the desecration
- 23:06of a corpse. Well, you see in I don't know, have you
- 23:11ever seen the day of the Day in Mexico where they where they pulled Nana
- 23:15out from behind the tomb and they clean her down and brush your hair and
- 23:18put new clothes and might even put a fag in her mouth, our favorite
- 23:21fag brand. Tom you're there. Like you say desecration, I say utilization
- 23:26of them exactly. Here's the thing, Jerry, it's getting more from your
- 23:30corpse and maximizing your dead uncle's potentially sounds like a great bank, like you
- 23:37know, marketing spiel. Get more from your corpse when you a real,
- 23:41real bank called the family. Even if we have passed, we don't know
- 23:47what the money was for that or I haven't read what the money was for.
- 23:51I mean, for all intents supportable, you know, for all we
- 23:53know, Tomic could be well, we need to cover funeral costs. And
- 23:56how better to cover funeral costs than to, you know, have the corpse
- 24:00itself take out a loan that they can never repay and rip the bank off
- 24:03for three grand. Again, ripping the bank off for three grand is not
- 24:07what I'm sure about with this thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 24:10yeah. I'm like, yeah, you got one. What can I
- 24:12say? To be honest with you, Jerry, I'm in no way so
- 24:15with this story whatsoever. In fact, to the point that I would want
- 24:19you if I would be glad to know that if I counked out in front
- 24:26of you, that you would wheel me in to go guarantee on the loan
- 24:30weekend the Bernie's title. I would. I would. I'd love to know
- 24:34that I was one last socker to socker to the man, even after stick
- 24:40it to the guys, even after I've bought the farm. I'm telling you
- 24:44now, I would love to hear like, I'd love to know if there
- 24:47is an afterlife to look down and go about McBride. I don't want to.
- 24:52I don't want to, like, you know, get investigated for conspiracy
- 24:55to fraud or anything like that, Tom, But I will promise you that
- 24:57I'll at least take your credit card and tap ship out of that glass.
- 25:00No, I'm I'm done down for that one. I'm I'm just gonna say
- 25:06to you, Tom, any drink at your after is going to be bought
- 25:08by you can take. And I have no problem that. Whatso, oh
- 25:14my god, why don't people do that? Tom? Why isn't that a
- 25:17thing to be Yeah, it probably is a thing. Jar probably is a
- 25:19thing to beep it is that? Not a thing? Have I invented?
- 25:23Have I invented a whole new crime? I think? Well, if you
- 25:26haven't, you've definitely gotten bored and gotten into bed with these kind of people
- 25:30that do that kind of stuff. But the fact that it was off a
- 25:33bank, and banks are scrupulous to themselves, they've taken tones against themselves,
- 25:37and you know, and yeah, you know, so I didn't you know,
- 25:41she didn't wheel them into George Bailey's building alone, And yeah, yeah,
- 25:47defrauds some small town credit union of much needed funds. No, no,
- 25:51okay, I mean like yeah, so so yeah, what is a
- 25:56complicated case there that I'd love to hear the thoughts of our listeners on.
- 26:00Maybe I wouldn't, Tom, I don't know anybody particularly ghoulish out there.
- 26:06Anybody got any strong opinions one way or another on corps finance? What do
- 26:14you even call this crime? I don't know, A misuse of a cadaver.
- 26:19I don't know, like it to be like, well, actually you
- 26:22know there, I hope that I will say that the Brazilian police know exactly
- 26:26what it's called because the charger with fraud and desecration of a corpse, okay,
- 26:30right, or just just like that, they didn't have to look far
- 26:34into the book for what to charge. This woman was Yeah, well one
- 26:40coup who begged her. He was like, he said, I've never come
- 26:44across the the likes of this in my twenty two years as a cop.
- 26:49He said. Visible signs of Rigamartis left no doubt in bricks, Yeah,
- 26:57like visible signs of himly being dead. Like I would just like if you
- 27:03are, if you have a sense of humor and your uncle, right,
- 27:06and you're the uncle. You would love to know that you would be like
- 27:11on a podcast being talked about in Ireland for let's I think that everybody the
- 27:18world over would be glad glad? Do you know what I mean? You
- 27:22know, to nip one off the bank? I will. I would love
- 27:26to know that that I got one over and my mate got and you,
- 27:30I don't know, A new a new snag fridge. You get one of
- 27:33those for three grande? Yeah, get solar panels. I don't know.
- 27:41I will tell you this much. It is unlikely in our lifetime that either
- 27:45you or I will ever be wheeled into a bank to sign a loan while
- 27:49we are dead. Hopefully not well, it definitely won't be in our lifetime
- 27:55if we're straight. Yeah, I worded that wrong, But I'll tell you
- 27:57what. There is a high chance of, and I know my luck,
- 28:02there's a high chance of this go on. There's a high chance that I
- 28:06will be in the queue for the bank behind the corpse. Yeah, I
- 28:11will be the lad that's the next man behind. And whoever it is in
- 28:15front of me is doing a little Thunderbirds action with this clearly dead person trying
- 28:19to get them signed, and I'm like, fuck me, I have to
- 28:22be back at work two o'clock only for the euro in the fucking ticket meter.
- 28:26For fox sake, Double Park, Would you ever move on? What
- 28:32has taken so long? How long does it take to fill a form?
- 28:36He just put it in his hand. But do you know what I could
- 28:37have been? Actually? If I was behind her with my temper, I
- 28:41could have been part of this conspiracy because I would have forced it into his
- 28:45hand as well. Depends signed it. Uncle, for Christ's sake, would
- 28:49you just sign it? I would have added another corpse to the debtor's list.
- 28:56Yeah, yeah, any rate? Oh my good god? How about
- 29:00that? Tom? A divisive issue must be said, A divisive issue.
- 29:04Looking forward to looking as they say, Tom, I'm looking forward to the
- 29:07comments on Latin one. Wow, holy crap. We we kung food our
- 29:12way through this week's episode, Tom, pretty zippy. I'm liking it.
- 29:17I hope everybody's enjoying it. And not only that, Tom, You and
- 29:18I we got to the end of the episode were out falling out about anything.
- 29:22It's true we almost did. But I've got something to draw down with
- 29:26you. Are you gonna start around? I'm not thinking of starting a row,
- 29:30but I'm starting a row. Don't stop there, we go starting a
- 29:38round and something. I look, I don't know where you stand on it.
- 29:42I think you're I think you may be on the other side of expense.
- 29:45I don't know. And I didn't know I was properly on the other
- 29:48side of the fence until I talked about being out Friday evening and enjoying your
- 29:53enjoying my drinks with like minded other people, i e. People of my
- 30:00age and behavioral patterns and hobbies and interests and everything else, and dare I
- 30:04say my age? Yes? Yeah, that was until yeah, what happened
- 30:15to him? The group of people from I'm gonna say they're from the southeast
- 30:19of the country somewhere, or the east of the country somewhere, I should
- 30:22say they're in there got to be half nine, quarter to ten with their
- 30:29kids, their kids, and it's not kids in the pub. Tom a
- 30:33divisive issue and one that was flared up on Twitter there recently. It went
- 30:40quite noisy with a guy posing outside a bar which had a sign pets Welcome
- 30:45children not or words to that equivalente, and his tweet had the caption my
- 30:51kind of pub a pub with dogs and no children, and people with children
- 30:55took massive umbradge with this, Tom, Yeah I have I'm I'm a parent,
- 31:00and there is no way there. Look, it's like we have once
- 31:04upon a time where we were kids. Right, once upon we were actually
- 31:07children. You were not invited into the lives of any adult at all because
- 31:15what was the phrase children should be seen and not heard. Yes, and
- 31:18it was very much that it was like, no, no, it's not
- 31:22happened. Sure, we all got brought to the pub out of necessity with
- 31:25red lemonade and crisps, but there was purely necessity at the time. And
- 31:30it wasn't easy access to texting or whatsapping people to get babysitters. But you
- 31:36weren't. You didn't have to involve your fucking kids and everything. But now
- 31:40is people to us sweet suffered in Jesus Christ. And this is interesting,
- 31:44Tom, this is a very interesting This is more you know, nuanced discussion
- 31:48rather than all that here make er swinging round, all right? You know,
- 31:53like as you said yourself, there you were a child in a pub
- 31:56drinking red lemonade and eating crisps and dipping crisps in your red lemonade. Yeah,
- 32:01wasn't that great? Rack? Didn't you enjoy that? Did the pub
- 32:05not make money selling red lemonade and crisps? Right? Enough? But I'd
- 32:08no business being there, and I don't fully know if my parents wanted me
- 32:13even there. It was just out of necessity. I had to be there,
- 32:15but it was it was about the only occurrence where you'd find them.
- 32:20Now, there were some kids that were just left in the car or the
- 32:22ven to play on the road. Yeah, yeah, that was oft and
- 32:25often the case. But you weren't there to be You certainly weren't there to
- 32:30be keep your parents company. Do you know what I mean? That you
- 32:34weren't there because your parents thought, oh, you know, what'd be great
- 32:37if we all hung out together as a family in the pub. That was
- 32:40never the case. It was just purely Christ. We can't legally leave them.
- 32:45Come on, we bring them on. Here's I'm gonna Earlier in the
- 32:46episode time I asked you what was line dancing? Which seemed like a strange
- 32:51question, but you know, just go whip me on. Okay. Yeah.
- 32:54My question to you now is this, what is a pub? Oh
- 32:59Jesus Christ, what is a pub? It's a public house. Right,
- 33:05don't do that, now, don't do okay, and let me let me
- 33:07let me dive into it a little bit more. Okay, Like when you
- 33:09say children should not be in a pub, here's what I'm going to say,
- 33:15children should not be in a bar? What what is? Where are
- 33:22you putting them? If they're not in the lounge or lounge for lounge and
- 33:27bar for barns. So if you're like on the session, if you're in
- 33:30a pub to drink, that's your job, and you're an older person such
- 33:35as you or a like you're in the bar, they're wrong. I mean
- 33:39the I don't know. Here's what I'm going to say. Sure, here's
- 33:44where I here's where I make the divide. Okay, I'm going to be
- 33:46like, I'm not going to just say no kids in the pub, but
- 33:50I will say no kids in the bar. Look right, and do the
- 33:54kids go into the lounge and have you know, crisps and red lemonade.
- 34:00Absolutely, I'll find the lunge in the bar are two very different places.
- 34:02It can be easily easy looked at like this. You know when you go
- 34:06to a restaurant and they bring down do you want some crayons? And some
- 34:08yolks. Yeah, Jesus Christ, Tom, I haven't been like, I
- 34:12haven't been to a restaurant where I wasn't given a menu and creons in ten
- 34:15years. Yeah, So there are no particular reason where you have you ever
- 34:19been in a pub where they serve you out to point the guinness and all
- 34:22of a sudden they hand you out a color and pad and some crayons as
- 34:24well. I haven't. They should though, No, they don't because it's
- 34:29not to be done. It's not it's not to be done. It's acceptable
- 34:34to bring your kids to so many things and involve them in everything. Now
- 34:37you're every facet you have to involve them, which is absolutely fine. It's
- 34:42not like it was a parent forty five years ago and now I'm a parent
- 34:45again. I'm like, how did that happen? This is I'm a new
- 34:47parent. I'm fine with it. I will say on a pointer, I
- 34:52will say one thing, Tom. I will say one thing, Tom.
- 34:54If you were in the pub there on Friday night and there was children in
- 34:57there at half nine, like legally that's oh yeah, they had absolutely no
- 35:04business and being there like and it was it was irresponsive, I mean,
- 35:07irresponsible parent now, okay, if it's outside, it's a restaurant bar kind
- 35:12of a scenario, and it's okay. You know, it's six thirteen,
- 35:15and it's like, okay, we're all having food. This is fine,
- 35:16this is grand. But there was an entire vibe of sessionhood in that pub.
- 35:22Yes, and those kids had no business been among it. But they
- 35:25were run running around throwing beer mats at each other. And these two assholes,
- 35:30See that's great. A beer mat is like an is like a ninja
- 35:31star. If I was a child, I would have loved that. Oh
- 35:34listen, I could understand the child child's point of view. They were up
- 35:37late. It was they were having the time in their life. It wasn't
- 35:39the kids I was blaming. I'm looking at these two decades going I never
- 35:43get to enjoy pines never Yeah, and now here you are just dumping your
- 35:50regrets on our scenario. What in the name of all of this holy you?
- 35:53These are these are these are vialid concerns. I'm gonna I'm gonna give
- 35:58it to you on Front Street, buddy, I bring my children to the
- 36:02to the local. I'm'm gonna lay out the scenario for Youre right, Okay,
- 36:07stay on a Sunday, Okay, not every Sunday, right on the
- 36:12occasional sunday, I'll take the kids down run about tea time. They'll get
- 36:15saucy and chips. I'll get you know, a zero zero beverage or otherwise
- 36:22I'll have like two pints. It's nice. We stayed there for like an
- 36:25hour, hour and a half or thereabouts. We take the kids home.
- 36:28They've scooted down to the pub and back. It's about a mile there and
- 36:30back again, so they're tired, they're fed. They get home, it's
- 36:35a Sunday, it's eight o'clock, bat and down and they conk out and
- 36:38then I can have mighty and sit up and have a nice relax and eating
- 36:43with the missus. Now that's decent, sounded right. That's fair. That's
- 36:49fair because you made a kind of a restaurant out of it. You have
- 36:52a wrangle on your kids. They're not running around kicking over stools, do
- 36:55you know me? You know, like the the boat on a night,
- 37:00Patsy, youn't hear you don't hear a peep out of them, you know
- 37:02what I mean? And it's not like I said, I keep them there
- 37:06until ten o'clock at night, and they love it, and I love it,
- 37:08and I hope they look back on it fondly in years to come,
- 37:12as I look back fondly on having red lemonade and crisps in a pub.
- 37:15Although that was usually awake up some sorts. Yeah, that was the thing.
- 37:21Yeah, when I think about it, it was rarely. You were
- 37:22broad. Broad, you're broad because of the funeral. Yeah, it was
- 37:25taking and after a funeral. No, Look, if you can, if
- 37:30you can put a and do you know what fair play to a pub,
- 37:32because there's loads of pubs. Fair play to that pub. We're going,
- 37:36Yeah, bring your pets, but not your kids, because at least then
- 37:38you can go people who don't have kids, or are want to break from
- 37:42their kids or break for them anything, or they don't want to go in
- 37:45there and then have to deal with everybody else's kid. Yes, great,
- 37:49do you know what I mean? Put that up because the pub next door
- 37:51might be delighted to have your kids. Do you know what I mean?
- 37:53I do? I do think like a like for example, Tom, and
- 37:57we're going to get off this real quick because I can't see as far in
- 38:00an exactly common ground on this, but a pub of a Sunday would serve
- 38:06cavarry dinner. So would you take your kids to a pub to get a
- 38:07cavalry? I could, Yeah, I could do cavary dinner around three o'clock.
- 38:13I can do that. But that's fine, that's good, that's fine.
- 38:15But would you be okay to answer your question? A pub becomes a
- 38:17pub jerry when there's nothing else but for drinking inside it, right, Yes,
- 38:22if there's not, like you weren't getting even a package can be frized
- 38:27the other night, I'd say inside in that place, let alone. You
- 38:30know, I played assassins and chips for the games. No, that's it,
- 38:34okay, So we might be cracking it here. Yes. If the
- 38:36pub has more of a sort of family vibe, that has a lounge that
- 38:39you can go down and sit and eat if you so wish, or maybe
- 38:43just watch the football of a Sunday, that's fine. Don't take your kids
- 38:47to the smoking area, is what I'm hearing. Yeah, exactly exactly,
- 38:51Like if there's people spitting on the floor, don't have your kids there.
- 38:55Yeah, yeah, take it take it on a taken on an establishment by
- 38:59establishment base. It's like, you know, maybe exactly to the rough or
- 39:01more spit friendly pubs. But it's not like a you know, a petro
- 39:07station. We're like, well, we can get petrol in all these places.
- 39:08It's not the same thing. It's a pub taken on a pub by
- 39:13pub basis. Yes, do you know? Definitely? I think it's cool
- 39:15that they let dogs in. How's that? I like that they let dogs.
- 39:20I gotta tell you, I've been to some dog pubs, Tom,
- 39:22and they talk a good game, but you know what they also do well,
- 39:25smell of dog piss they do. Yeah, that's the only thing that
- 39:29is the only thing about with respect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If
- 39:31it's not a flagstone floor, lads, don't ever. If you're a pub
- 39:35owner right now, you don't have a flagstone floor that you can power wash
- 39:37out on a fucking evening. It's not it's not dog friendly. It's not
- 39:40dog friendly. There you go, There you go. Folks, do you
