- 0:10Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show,
- 0:12Speaker 1: brought to you this week by a Saint Bernard dog
- 0:15Speaker 1: carrying a we flask of whiskey underneath his collar because
- 0:18Speaker 1: we had to dig Tom out of the snow to
- 0:20Speaker 1: make this episode.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Did you have you have introed the show correctly there?
- 0:25Speaker 2: That was very very professional in the way you were starting.
- 0:28Speaker 2: And then you may, okay, just you just made a
- 0:31Speaker 2: complete mocker mockery and me and my foot and a
- 0:34Speaker 2: half of snow for the past week.
- 0:36Speaker 1: People, A couple of a couple of things wrong with
- 0:38Speaker 1: the statement I made Tom. Number one of the dogs
- 0:40Speaker 1: generally carry brandy, don't they not? Not whiskey?
- 0:43Speaker 2: Yes, yea, look alexcept whiskey.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'll except dogs rocks up to me with any sort
- 0:50Speaker 1: of vessel containing like I'm gonna drink that? What it is?
- 0:55Speaker 1: You ever look at a sneaky way of poison and
- 0:57Speaker 1: McBride just put like a little flask under needed dog's
- 0:59Speaker 1: collar and go go over there to that man.
- 1:02Speaker 2: A little thermos of round up and.
- 1:05Speaker 1: The terms of slignom or something. Yeah, yeah, I you
- 1:09Speaker 1: are indeed all welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I'm Jerry McBride. That's Tam o'mney who is emerging from
- 1:13Speaker 1: the snow like the groundhog. Tell him about it tom
- 1:17Speaker 1: a while though, okak, you're free in.
- 1:19Speaker 2: The snow, only free of as we recorded Monday, only
- 1:22Speaker 2: free free yesterday, Jerry, I had enough. I had enough.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Five tractors, I had teleporters, we had all sorts trying
- 1:30Speaker 2: to drag the snow, and all it was done was
- 1:31Speaker 2: putting a nice little scheme of ice underneath it. For
- 1:34Speaker 2: three days and I gave up, as wait til the
- 1:36Speaker 2: temperature comes up, and I had to put my tinking
- 1:39Speaker 2: cap on jar and I created I actually should have
- 1:42Speaker 2: videoed a freely, but you know, when you're in one
- 1:44Speaker 2: of those moods where I don't even have the phone
- 1:45Speaker 2: on me, you would enjoyed it. I made my own
- 1:48Speaker 2: land leveler using a palette and four standard blocks. Nice
- 1:53Speaker 2: so for anybody going, what is he on about, it's
- 1:58Speaker 2: it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a that turned
- 2:01Speaker 2: down the way and you you just put four blocks
- 2:03Speaker 2: kind of into it and the top stopping sliding out
- 2:06Speaker 2: the back of screwed on a little four to two
- 2:08Speaker 2: onto the back end of it, tied the rope onto
- 2:10Speaker 2: it much like a child would, and put it onto
- 2:14Speaker 2: the hitch of the land rover and dragged it behind
- 2:17Speaker 2: me until it's scraped up enough snow and ice to
- 2:20Speaker 2: the point that we were down to stone. Did it
- 2:23Speaker 2: about fifteen times and it worked. I couldn't fuck I
- 2:27Speaker 2: believe it. The palette didn't break up, good quality palllette
- 2:29Speaker 2: and we were able to get the car out.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I'll tell you some palettes is there and we can't.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I just I you know what, we should dedicate a
- 2:36Speaker 2: whole episode someday to palettes, Like I go through the
- 2:40Speaker 2: history of palettes and stuff. Because we go through that,
- 2:42Speaker 2: we go through.
- 2:43Speaker 1: The history of ourselves as a performer, because like you know,
- 2:45Speaker 1: for those not in the know, myself and Tom are
- 2:48Speaker 1: stand up comedians. Tom working me lapsed, but I'll still
- 2:53Speaker 1: come back. Tom, Like, what's what's the war chest look like?
- 2:55Speaker 1: You know, let's let's talk. But down through the years, Tom,
- 2:58Speaker 1: I'm sure you were in a position that I was in,
- 3:00Speaker 1: and I'm sure we might have shared the stage a
- 3:02Speaker 1: couple of nights where you walked out and the stage
- 3:04Speaker 1: that we were on was like an upturned palette in
- 3:07Speaker 1: a pub.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been on them and they haven't even bothered
- 3:11Speaker 2: their arts putting it.
- 3:12Speaker 1: No, it's just a palette.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And that's it. But they I'll never forget. I was
- 3:16Speaker 2: on one somewhere in Dublin and they kind of codded
- 3:22Speaker 2: me with putting that it was a that they'd maybe
- 3:26Speaker 2: thrown down a four or four sheet of ply on
- 3:28Speaker 2: top of it at least, but they hadn't. All they've
- 3:31Speaker 2: done was thrown a rug over. So now they've made
- 3:33Speaker 2: like an Indiana Jones like foot trip. And it was
- 3:37Speaker 2: one of those. It was one of those cheap ass
- 3:38Speaker 2: palettes too, you know the ones where there's a good
- 3:41Speaker 2: two inch gap between the lats rather than the good
- 3:44Speaker 2: tight one like the one I used to we again,
- 3:45Speaker 2: the strong, strong one. Sure, every time I turned my heel,
- 3:49Speaker 2: I nearly fucking snapped my inside, and they think, oh
- 3:52Speaker 2: my god, all my team for a finish. I just
- 3:54Speaker 2: stood off. I said, I'm gonna kill myself. I stayed
- 3:56Speaker 2: on this thing. But at the same time it worked.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Work here advantage.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I have built a bench outside out of temper one
- 4:08Speaker 2: evening and just needed a bench quickly and made it
- 4:10Speaker 2: out of two palettes and a bit of OSB. I'll
- 4:13Speaker 2: be I have a recipe, shall we say, For I'm
- 4:18Speaker 2: going to make a rolling bench for the middle, you know,
- 4:20Speaker 2: almost like a butcher's block, but a slightly bigger and
- 4:24Speaker 2: more robust one of those, so I can put a
- 4:25Speaker 2: bench of vice on. So I will take photographs and
- 4:28Speaker 2: send them to the Tom and Jerry show admin. I e.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Jerry when it comes to the socials and you could
- 4:35Speaker 2: talk people through it or what now. So I'm going
- 4:37Speaker 2: to be making that probably in the next three to
- 4:38Speaker 2: four weeks when the garage gets a full tidy up.
- 4:42Speaker 2: You posted you posted the did.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Indeed, yes, I didn't need Tom's Tom's garage or his
- 4:47Speaker 1: car hold as they call it in the Simpsons. That
- 4:50Speaker 1: was even though you sent it and said, look at
- 4:53Speaker 1: look at all the stuff I have to tide you Tom.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I have to say I was looking at going like,
- 4:56Speaker 1: just don't throw that out.
- 4:57Speaker 2: No, there was a few, there was a few bits
- 4:59Speaker 2: I came across someth hang on to that all the same, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 2: I hang on to that. And I wanted to send
- 5:03Speaker 2: you a done an afters I cleared it. I'd cleared
- 5:09Speaker 2: ninety percent of it at this stage, and of course
- 5:10Speaker 2: took took delivery of forty six roads of insulation today,
- 5:15Speaker 2: which are now blocking that whole thing. Yeah, I know
- 5:18Speaker 2: you're you've got to shudder there of insulation. If you eight,
- 5:20Speaker 2: that's the time to come down and visit me. Chair. No,
- 5:24Speaker 2: you you.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Give me a show when the house is nice and insulated. Tom.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you one thing.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing that is quite quite a
- 5:30Speaker 1: pleasing thing to do. Tom's hand rolls of insulation up
- 5:32Speaker 1: through a portal. Yeah, do you know what that would
- 5:35Speaker 1: Because they're not they're not heavy, and it's just like
- 5:37Speaker 1: give him. It's very sort of mechanical, right, I've got
- 5:40Speaker 1: forty of these to do, and it's like medicine. Boat
- 5:43Speaker 1: exercises are that kind of thing, you know, It's like
- 5:45Speaker 1: hoop hop hop when you have a good man up
- 5:48Speaker 1: in the attic moving them along.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Huh. Tell you what now, that's that's definitely a job
- 5:52Speaker 2: I can put you on, and then you can retire
- 5:54Speaker 2: to the living room and have tea and cakes for
- 5:56Speaker 2: as long as you want, because yeah, that would definitely
- 5:58Speaker 2: be a job. I could put you on.
- 6:00Speaker 1: One that doesn't sound bad. And while I was while
- 6:03Speaker 1: I was drinking tea and eating cakes. Tom, do you
- 6:05Speaker 1: know what I'd love to listen to is a wonderful podcast,
- 6:08Speaker 1: the new edition of the Tom and Jerry Show. So
- 6:10Speaker 1: we may as well get one of them in the
- 6:11Speaker 1: can and then we'll see about this installation. How about that,
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you the new listeners to
- 6:16Speaker 1: the Tom and Jerry Show. Watch how we turn any
- 6:18Speaker 1: topic to palettes and insulation as quick as as quick
- 6:21Speaker 1: as a flash, lads.
- 6:22Speaker 2: It's it's inevitable on every episode that it's going to
- 6:25Speaker 2: go there some which way.
- 6:27Speaker 1: And you know, only for we have a wee bit
- 6:29Speaker 1: of hard trained discipline. We could talk about plots for
- 6:32Speaker 1: a full another hour before the show starts.
- 6:35Speaker 2: For anybody wondering, you know was he digging about on
- 6:39Speaker 2: the palette chat? If if you're new to this, go back,
- 6:43Speaker 2: just go back and look at some of the deep
- 6:44Speaker 2: dives we've done on things. And we have got we
- 6:47Speaker 2: have spread that butter so thin over We will get
- 6:52Speaker 2: every every bit out of that two paste two But
- 6:55Speaker 2: I'm telling you now that palette.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you the last trip of two paste
- 6:59Speaker 1: out of a Tom The best palote joke I ever
- 7:01Speaker 1: told in my life. I was doing a gig up
- 7:03Speaker 1: and Up the North, and like I said, there was
- 7:06Speaker 1: the palettes for stages, you know what I mean. It
- 7:08Speaker 1: was just like you walked down the two pallets and
- 7:10Speaker 1: you got up on them. And my opener for Up
- 7:12Speaker 1: the North was, you know, you might think it's strange
- 7:15Speaker 1: to see a man up on pallets like this, but
- 7:16Speaker 1: like a week com eating as we're used to it.
- 7:18Speaker 1: You know, I personally have been on more palette than
- 7:20Speaker 1: a shinfil election poster.
- 7:22Speaker 2: That's pretty That's a good joke.
- 7:24Speaker 1: That was, wasn't it.
- 7:25Speaker 2: That's a good I think I didn't.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Some of them got it.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I did. And do you know what, that's a great
- 7:32Speaker 2: joke and they can go over something I think I was.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I was in Belfast not long after the twelfth and
- 7:38Speaker 2: I I literally went on stage. I said, I'm selling
- 7:42Speaker 2: pallets just because they the whole night they had been
- 7:45Speaker 2: kind of they've been getting fed. They've been getting fed
- 7:49Speaker 2: their local porridge, if you know what I mean. Well,
- 7:51Speaker 2: I gotta tie. I gotta time myself in here somewhere.
- 7:53Speaker 2: I just traveled four hours to be here better. But
- 7:56Speaker 2: one of the few visual jokes that it didn't hit
- 7:59Speaker 2: at all. Put you picked up on it and it
- 8:02Speaker 2: was in like an estate car ahead at the time,
- 8:04Speaker 2: or a jeep or something, and it was full of
- 8:06Speaker 2: palettes in the back. Yes, And I think I can't
- 8:09Speaker 2: remember what I tweeted. I tweeted something like, I can't
- 8:12Speaker 2: I can't see what a problem is she sent me
- 8:14Speaker 2: out for or a makeup for a couple of makeup pats.
- 8:19Speaker 2: What is the woman's problem or something to that effect.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Got nothing, no attraction? What bar you was like two
- 8:24Speaker 2: thumbs up, going, I totally get this. Nobody else We're like,
- 8:29Speaker 2: so did you get the makeup or water? Why is
- 8:32Speaker 2: the wood in the bush of your corn? Jeez?
- 8:35Speaker 1: All right, well look tell my palette Geiger counter over
- 8:38Speaker 1: here is telling me that we're a critical mass for
- 8:43Speaker 1: one episode, so we better change the subject. We better
- 8:47Speaker 1: change the subject. Tom to the news. All the news,
- 8:50Speaker 1: don't you know? Every week there's a bit of news, Tom,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and this week is no different. So we like to
- 8:54Speaker 1: take one big good news story, not necessarily a good
- 8:58Speaker 1: news story, but a good news story and turned it
- 9:00Speaker 1: into the segment that we call the weekly what have you?
- 9:03Speaker 2: This is a very complicated case, mad you know, a
- 9:05Speaker 2: lot of I, a lot of outs, a lot of
- 9:07Speaker 2: what have you, and uh, a lot of SCRAMs.
- 9:10Speaker 1: To keep in my head.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Man, I schnucked this one up in you, and you
- 9:13Speaker 2: know what, I jumped the gun on it, to be
- 9:15Speaker 2: honest with you, because I got so excited that I
- 9:17Speaker 2: didn't really read the I it's this week's weekly what
- 9:22Speaker 2: have you? Because I read it this week. But it's
- 9:24Speaker 2: a thing that happens every year and it doesn't happen
- 9:26Speaker 2: this week, right, So it happens. It happens during the summer,
- 9:29Speaker 2: but I just happened to find out about it this week.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So you know what's it's news to you.
- 9:34Speaker 2: But do you know what it's It's an evergreen thing.
- 9:36Speaker 2: It'll be around every year and what.
- 9:38Speaker 1: And not for nothing as well, folks. It was either
- 9:41Speaker 1: this light hearted little chuckle some bit or the Los
- 9:44Speaker 1: Angeles fires. So yeah, yeah, picked. I think what we picked.
- 9:48Speaker 2: We did.
- 9:48Speaker 1: We did, we chose wisely.
- 9:50Speaker 2: We did start the stuff in America a couple of
- 9:52Speaker 2: weeks back in this Okay, you know, sorry, Look anyway,
- 9:55Speaker 2: this one is much more fun much because if anybody
- 9:59Speaker 2: is a long term listener, you know that we have
- 10:00Speaker 2: dabbled back and forth with Old Spain, every Spanish. When
- 10:06Speaker 2: you want to find a mad bastard somewhere in Europe,
- 10:09Speaker 2: chances are he'll turn up in Spain, Italy or Germany
- 10:13Speaker 2: and Spain has do you know what? It's the gift
- 10:15Speaker 2: that keeps on giving?
- 10:17Speaker 1: So this is I remember, Tom, Sorry, I remember, we
- 10:20Speaker 1: did like a Christmas episode a couple of years back,
- 10:22Speaker 1: and it was all like weird Christmas traditions from around
- 10:25Speaker 1: the world. And goddamn of that episode wasn't ninety percent Spain.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Do you know what it was? They were beating a log,
- 10:31Speaker 2: there were there's little poop and lads, there was a
- 10:33Speaker 2: christ above but this one.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Again there Tom?
- 10:37Speaker 2: Hm, what is that? Now? Well, now we have a
- 10:41Speaker 2: festival that runs. It runs during mid June, Okay, so
- 10:44Speaker 2: I don't need anybody going. I think you'll find that
- 10:46Speaker 2: runs journ June and or now.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know what big news here. If you
- 10:50Speaker 1: want to go to it, you want to work your tickets? Now,
- 10:52Speaker 1: how about that?
- 10:53Speaker 2: Exactly? It's called a call actual call action. What it is.
- 11:00Speaker 2: It's a festival from the sixteen twenties, right, So they
- 11:04Speaker 2: they're not but traditionalists these like they do they do
- 11:08Speaker 2: now it's a mixture of kind of like like a
- 11:11Speaker 2: lot of things here as well, paganism and religious they
- 11:15Speaker 2: mix them all together, and it's called the Baby Jumping Festival. Jerry,
- 11:19Speaker 2: that's what l Collecto is. I don't think it translates
- 11:24Speaker 2: to that, but that's what it is. Now. For people
- 11:27Speaker 2: thinking that sounds like crack a bunch of babies jumping.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Is it could go the way tom No.
- 11:32Speaker 2: This is based on This basically tells the story of
- 11:35Speaker 2: good versus evil and essentially joined the festival red and
- 11:39Speaker 2: white yellow masked devils. They go running through the streets,
- 11:42Speaker 2: hurling insults of villagers and whipping them with horsetails and whatnot.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of that goes on, isn't there like.
- 11:49Speaker 1: A lot of well that that Crampus fest or something
- 11:53Speaker 1: as well. Yes, Christmas out of each other, Yes, okay,
- 11:57Speaker 1: Rowndhouse kicks.
- 12:00Speaker 2: So essentially he runs through the place and getting he's
- 12:02Speaker 2: got a steak and then drums announced the arrival of
- 12:06Speaker 2: a black clad at a balleero, pious men out of
- 12:11Speaker 2: Calo who have come to drive out evil El s
- 12:14Speaker 2: Alto del Calacco. The flight of the Devil. Right, so
- 12:19Speaker 2: now we're onto it now and you're thinking, yeah, but
- 12:21Speaker 2: where did the jumping babies come into this? Well, I'll
- 12:24Speaker 2: tell you where they come into it, because jumping babies
- 12:26Speaker 2: don't happen at all. In a heart stopping display, babies
- 12:30Speaker 2: born during the previous year are laid on a mattress
- 12:33Speaker 2: out on the street while the costumed men leap over them.
- 12:40Speaker 2: It's a baptism of sorts. This is it's believed that
- 12:42Speaker 2: the devil absorbs the sins of the babies and afford
- 12:45Speaker 2: them protection from disease and misfortune. Misfortune spectators lining the
- 12:50Speaker 2: streets will also brate colaccho in order to ward off
- 12:53Speaker 2: any bad luck of the upcoming year. Afterwards, the babies
- 12:57Speaker 2: are sprinkled with rose petals and promptly reclaimed by their parents. Yeah,
- 13:02Speaker 2: so there's mad bastards. So what I'm looking at here
- 13:05Speaker 2: is six babies, two rows of three line on a
- 13:09Speaker 2: mattress with a rug under rake. People standing around roran laughing,
- 13:14Speaker 2: and this fellow who's dressed like Ronald McDonald from the eighties,
- 13:19Speaker 2: but he's in a pair of you know, he's fill
- 13:21Speaker 2: the devil. He's in a pair of Eddie deaks, Like
- 13:26Speaker 2: he's not clearing the babies by a lot, you know
- 13:27Speaker 2: what I mean. I'd like to see some hurdlers there. Well,
- 13:30Speaker 2: they've got the foot hitched out in front of him.
- 13:33Speaker 2: This guy's just clearing him by a foot.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Like I mean, here's the thing, Tom, Like, you never
- 13:38Speaker 1: ship buys in for these jobs, all right, So it's
- 13:40Speaker 1: never like you ring out and you get in. Get
- 13:42Speaker 1: me the best long drumper in Spain to come to do
- 13:45Speaker 1: this job. It's whoever is local and puts the hand
- 13:47Speaker 1: up to do it. Same with Santy, Like you know,
- 13:50Speaker 1: there's a stout boy with a beard, ye go on
- 13:51Speaker 1: your sandy. Yeah, Oh, there's a skinny that with no beard.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Fuck it, he's the only man to put his hand up.
- 13:55Speaker 1: He's Sandy this year. So they're not athletes jumping these babies.
- 14:00Speaker 1: They're just like you or me jumping babies. And I'm
- 14:03Speaker 1: not sure I could clear a mattress hum.
- 14:05Speaker 2: To be fair, it's not the longest mattress in the
- 14:07Speaker 2: world to square more than a long like you know
- 14:09Speaker 2: you're often see in Asian hotels and stuff like that.
- 14:11Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those ones. But this fellow
- 14:13Speaker 2: does have a big redhead in him, and he's got
- 14:15Speaker 2: a couple of sticks in his hand while jumping out.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's, he's he's laiding down. He's not on
- 14:19Speaker 1: in cumboard. He's not. Like it's not like, okay, three two, one,
- 14:22Speaker 1: one hundred yard run up and jump the babies.
- 14:24Speaker 2: It's like he's he's got like.
- 14:28Speaker 1: A fucking gritty costume on and he's just doing like
- 14:33Speaker 1: a standing start to jump across a four foot mattress
- 14:36Speaker 1: which has newborn children.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't. And also that's not the gear I get. Like,
- 14:41Speaker 2: if I needed to run and jump over something in
- 14:43Speaker 2: front of everybody and it was critical to think I
- 14:45Speaker 2: was jumping over, I wouldn't be wearing those flat bottom
- 14:48Speaker 2: added as either. I'd be in a pair of wearing sandals. Yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like, there's other lads
- 14:54Speaker 2: wearing sandals. The guy I'm looking at here is just
- 14:56Speaker 2: wearing a pair of like walking around like they ain't
- 15:01Speaker 2: watching put On. But you can only assume, now, I say, assume,
- 15:06Speaker 2: you can only assume it's gone well, so far, do
- 15:09Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Since the sixteen twenties, there's
- 15:11Speaker 2: no there's absolutely no notes here in the National Geographic
- 15:15Speaker 2: Website that I'm reading about any squished babies, So I
- 15:19Speaker 2: guess it's gone well enough to this point. Some historians
- 15:23Speaker 2: do believe that it was actually a fertility ritual, which
- 15:26Speaker 2: is an odd thing to say when you already have
- 15:28Speaker 2: a baby. But anyway, I mean, who am I to
- 15:32Speaker 2: You know, there's running with bulls and pampaloma and stuff
- 15:35Speaker 2: like that, and there's all these kind.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Of that tomorrow Throne festival than in Spain as.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Well, Tis tis tas so little to be ash see this.
- 15:45Speaker 2: This is what I was going to say next was
- 15:48Speaker 2: these lads are the most like I like them. I
- 15:52Speaker 2: like that carry on, I like that maxi, oh bi
- 15:55Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. They'll fill a day with some shit without
- 15:58Speaker 2: doing actually a stroke, you know what I mean.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you as well, where like I'm
- 16:02Speaker 1: just gonna say it now. I'm not going to say
- 16:04Speaker 1: where are the parents? Where are the mothers? Because I
- 16:07Speaker 1: can rest assure the dads the fellows will be like
- 16:10Speaker 1: yeah deadly, do that, yeah yeah, do that, and the
- 16:13Speaker 1: mothers will be like definitely not. So there's a lot
- 16:15Speaker 1: of there's a lot of dads that like, you know,
- 16:17Speaker 1: have the kids and all just take them and I'll
- 16:19Speaker 1: take the young fellow in the town for the day.
- 16:20Speaker 1: You have you put your feet up and watch selling sunset.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Don't you worry about it? And and he takes me
- 16:26Speaker 1: innut and takes that you're not taking that baby into
- 16:28Speaker 1: the baby jumping fast.
- 16:28Speaker 2: With We're going to get his feet measured. We're going
- 16:32Speaker 2: into Clarks, get his feet measured properly. Come on, now,
- 16:34Speaker 2: come on, I'm gonna go win.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You just make up a bag from there now with
- 16:38Speaker 1: the formula and the whatnot, and I'll have them back
- 16:40Speaker 1: nother and then take and then take. Because I remember
- 16:43Speaker 1: when air ones where we we we you know, i'd
- 16:46Speaker 1: be doing you'd be throwing them up with the air
- 16:48Speaker 1: and catching them and all those kinds of things, and
- 16:50Speaker 1: my wife and hard being like, you know, because I
- 16:52Speaker 1: can't catch football, let alone an infant child. But the
- 16:55Speaker 1: kids will be laughing, and I'd be like throwing them up,
- 16:58Speaker 1: and the more the laugh, to higher and throw them up.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Recipe for disaster. Please don't throw your children around the place,
- 17:02Speaker 1: if you are a parent, or if you just fall
- 17:06Speaker 1: across a child.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Also, we're not here to tell you I did, because
- 17:08Speaker 2: there do you know what when I started thinking about it.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Then I was like, wait, there's more mad bastards around
- 17:12Speaker 2: the planet to do kind of interesting things, because I'm thinking,
- 17:15Speaker 2: have we gone terrible soft altogether with our children here?
- 17:18Speaker 2: Helicopter parenting and.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Helicopter parent tom. But even the matter how much I
- 17:23Speaker 1: threw the children about, I would never jump across them.
- 17:27Speaker 2: No, I I for a lot of reasons, one being
- 17:31Speaker 2: why the fuck would you jump over a baby like
- 17:35Speaker 2: the child would much prefer to be thrown in the
- 17:37Speaker 2: air or swung around by the arms a jump over
- 17:41Speaker 2: me again?
- 17:42Speaker 1: You know the the I'm sorry to everybody listening. I
- 17:46Speaker 1: am so clear enough about it. This goddamn call.
- 17:48Speaker 2: I like it. I like it to keep it up.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Here's the thing that there. Their religious logic doesn't work
- 17:54Speaker 1: for me, because why would the devil be taking original
- 17:56Speaker 1: sin from children? If anything, he'd be putting more into them,
- 17:59Speaker 1: more souls, more or more more staff.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I was reading this going, am I after reading this wrong?
- 18:04Speaker 2: And I'm after reading it twice since and that's exactly it.
- 18:06Speaker 2: It's like, right, so wouldn't Yeah, why would he be
- 18:09Speaker 2: taking original saying? Or maybe he can't help it, maybe
- 18:13Speaker 2: he's just soaking all up the originals.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Maybe he's original sin. Here's the other thing as well,
- 18:18Speaker 1: like how is he extracting the original sin from the
- 18:21Speaker 1: babies by jumping across them? The best I can tell
- 18:24Speaker 1: you is that he's got some like he's sucking it
- 18:26Speaker 1: up his ours, like in a reverse far He's like
- 18:29Speaker 1: like he's sucking the original sin up his bottle. I
- 18:32Speaker 1: know how devils work.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I think you're trying to make sense of a team
- 18:35Speaker 2: that's pure met Jerry, You're there's there's nothing in it.
- 18:40Speaker 2: I think there was. I think this is like one
- 18:42Speaker 2: of these things that's just happened to evolve by accident.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I'd say he was probably jumping over like a sheath
- 18:48Speaker 2: of corn or something before of barley or something, and
- 18:52Speaker 2: just somebody went, should we put the baby down? It's
- 18:54Speaker 2: a lucky baby, you know, not a bad idea because
- 18:57Speaker 2: the sun gods have not given us rain this this autumn.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Let's have a look and no one behold, somebody put
- 19:03Speaker 2: a baby down. And that's where that came from. I
- 19:05Speaker 2: guarantee the very first jumping was nothing to do with
- 19:08Speaker 2: babies at all. Not.
- 19:09Speaker 1: It was just a case of like, you know, it
- 19:10Speaker 1: just so happened. Hey, you know, have theer over there
- 19:12Speaker 1: jumped over a baby and we had a fairly good
- 19:14Speaker 1: harvest this year, so give it up. That's keep up
- 19:16Speaker 1: the baby jumping.
- 19:17Speaker 2: He is good for. But I looked into other things then,
- 19:21Speaker 2: and is when you like, the Japanese will let their
- 19:24Speaker 2: toddlers more or less toddlers preschoolers. Have you seen this
- 19:28Speaker 2: one where they let them walk home? They let them go, Yeah,
- 19:31Speaker 2: they let them off, they let them. But now they
- 19:33Speaker 2: do track them apparently. But it's the kind of just
- 19:35Speaker 2: it's that one kind of right of passage Spartan style
- 19:38Speaker 2: thing where we're going make your way home there. Now.
- 19:40Speaker 2: The only thing is Japan conducts itself.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Maybe a bit of manner. That's true.
- 19:47Speaker 2: You don't step out of line in Japan, do you
- 19:49Speaker 2: know what I mean? You don't because you'll get a
- 19:51Speaker 2: fair crack in the knuckles in Japan if you fuck around.
- 19:53Speaker 2: It's that phrase, you know, fuck around and find out.
- 19:55Speaker 2: But there was a woman I do know of that
- 19:58Speaker 2: she got in trouble here. She was Swedish woman, and
- 20:01Speaker 2: she got in trouble for Swedish tradition in that she
- 20:05Speaker 2: had her baby during sub zero temperatures outside the coffee shop.
- 20:11Speaker 2: But the baby. It's a standard thing that they do
- 20:13Speaker 2: that they wrap the babies up in a very specific
- 20:15Speaker 2: way with like lamb's wool and everything, and they just
- 20:18Speaker 2: leave their little nose exposed, and it's their thing for
- 20:22Speaker 2: hardening up their children early doors. They believe that you
- 20:25Speaker 2: must do it for this, you know, the Nordic Scandinavian
- 20:29Speaker 2: body needs at early doors is to be hoofing some
- 20:32Speaker 2: fucking right cold there. But she left the baby capram
- 20:35Speaker 2: outside fucking someplace in South Dublin or something.
- 20:38Speaker 1: But I like, you know, by all means traditions, and
- 20:41Speaker 1: I see the logic in the sense of it, I suppose,
- 20:43Speaker 1: but like not any saying costa in don drum, Like yeah.
- 20:46Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's a very big, big difference between that,
- 20:48Speaker 2: you know what I mean and maybe Stockholm or whatever
- 20:51Speaker 2: where there's like forty pushchairs, you know, it's lined up
- 20:56Speaker 2: outside silver crosses lined up outside the fucking door, and
- 20:58Speaker 2: it's like, well, this is the standard practice. In fact,
- 21:00Speaker 2: they actually have a parking space for all these silver
- 21:02Speaker 2: crosses outside the door. But you know, this woe was
- 21:05Speaker 2: taking her life of our baby in in you know,
- 21:09Speaker 2: in somebody else's silence by doing it. But they they'll
- 21:11Speaker 2: tell chance that I'd be we should look in to
- 21:13Speaker 2: see more mad yokes they do with early doors children.
- 21:18Speaker 2: I can see the purpose of the Nordic thing. I
- 21:19Speaker 2: can even see a hint of purpose with the Japanese thing. Still,
- 21:24Speaker 2: I've read this three times and I can make neither
- 21:27Speaker 2: head nor fucking tail out once again of what the
- 21:31Speaker 2: Spanish are up to.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Do we have any Spanish listeners to the Tom and
- 21:37Speaker 1: Jerry Show. If so, now is the time to talk out.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Let us know what the hell are you guys doing
- 21:42Speaker 1: with babies in June? And also is the festival any good?
- 21:45Speaker 1: Is it a bit of crack? Should we go to it?
- 21:47Speaker 1: Can you drink it? Can you drink that coc and
- 21:49Speaker 1: wine mix that you seem to love so much? Yeah,
- 21:54Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I want to drink any of it,
- 21:56Speaker 1: but let us know in the comments you're thought on
- 22:00Speaker 1: this week somewhat premature weekly? What have you? God? Damn it? Tom?
- 22:06Speaker 2: Do you know? Look, I'm I'm I don't like to
- 22:09Speaker 2: speak you other things that I know I don't know
- 22:11Speaker 2: enough about, But that seemed fucking pointless.
- 22:17Speaker 1: You know what, Tom, Nothing nothing is pointless if it's
- 22:20Speaker 1: a bit of crack, and from the pictures I've seen,
- 22:22Speaker 1: it seems to be a better crack, A bitter crack.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Yeah right enough. I mean, yeah, there's there's But they
- 22:28Speaker 2: did the Spanish, and I think they probably get misrepresented
- 22:31Speaker 2: a fair bit when it comes to our Spain itself,
- 22:33Speaker 2: because all we think, you know, you think, is I'm
- 22:35Speaker 2: off to Spain on the holidays. But you know, people
- 22:36Speaker 2: got Benny dorm and stuff you know that aren't Spanish.
- 22:39Speaker 2: These are the parts of Spain that you want to
- 22:41Speaker 2: go to where you're going what you jump over a baby?
- 22:45Speaker 1: And then your hockey tomato? What a ball? Yeah yeah good, yeah,
- 22:47Speaker 1: good crack yeah yeah yeah in me here the Spanish.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Those lads, what can we say about them? Gas bastards,
- 22:54Speaker 1: gas pastards. But you know what, Tom, every week there's
- 22:57Speaker 1: those lads, and then there's these lads, and there's the
- 22:59Speaker 1: other lads. Okay, but you know what breaks through that
- 23:01Speaker 1: become the second second of the Tom and Jerry Show,
- 23:03Speaker 1: Don't you know? It's not those of these lots of
- 23:05Speaker 1: them lads. It's this lad.
- 23:09Speaker 2: There's that guy. Yeah, now it was this lade.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I gotta tell you.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Tom's a coinky. Think of that where the very fact
- 23:20Speaker 2: that you had messaged me last night about it, because yes, well.
- 23:24Speaker 1: You know it was alert to be fair, to be
- 23:27Speaker 1: fair you.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I think probably our algorithms and our netflixes are probably
- 23:31Speaker 2: starting to flow the line up now at this stage,
- 23:33Speaker 2: you know what I.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Mean, Like men in their forties, what do they want
- 23:38Speaker 1: to watch?
- 23:38Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 23:39Speaker 1: And on Netflix.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Every device in this house knows that I talked to
- 23:43Speaker 2: you at least fifty two times a week on text
- 23:45Speaker 2: message and then for an hour and a bit at
- 23:48Speaker 2: on a Monday. So I think it's stuff is going.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Let's see what McBride has been up to. Let's transfer
- 23:54Speaker 2: that to Maney and a glow and behold the documentary,
- 23:58Speaker 2: because who doesn't love a documentary Sunday Night, a bit
- 24:01Speaker 2: of lighthearted documentary. And it is, of course our lad
- 24:04Speaker 2: of the week is the legendary, and it has to
- 24:07Speaker 2: be said, the legendary.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Jerry ever been another one like him?
- 24:10Speaker 2: Tom No, No, Jerry with a j mind, Jerry with a.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Jay Jerry Springer. His new documentary Bites Camera Action, arrived
- 24:18Speaker 1: on Netflix as a two parter. They're fifty minutes apiece.
- 24:21Speaker 1: It's not not Ortho oil but it's not exactly the
- 24:24Speaker 1: best documentary I've ever seen, but it takes you into
- 24:27Speaker 1: the inner workings of the Jerry Springer Show. And if
- 24:31Speaker 1: I was disappointed with the documentary, it is because understandably
- 24:34Speaker 1: it had no participation by the man himself. This week's
- 24:37Speaker 1: this lad.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Jerry Springer, who is currently dead, Lord of Mercy and
- 24:42Speaker 2: Jerry And to be fair, it's a documentary is never
- 24:45Speaker 2: going to live up to the wildness of the nineties
- 24:50Speaker 2: and early two thousands when we were watching Jerry Springer,
- 24:52Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you're watching it because
- 24:54Speaker 2: this is the first of what would you call it? Yeah,
- 25:00Speaker 2: do you know there was a wildness that happened in
- 25:02Speaker 2: the nineties, Like there was.
- 25:04Speaker 1: A wilderness Tom and I'll tell you what it was.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Lincoln Park, like you know, Limp Biscuits, there was a
- 25:10Speaker 2: mad wrestling was gone wild. There was you know, the
- 25:12Speaker 2: attitude era. Everything was had been kind of I won't say,
- 25:17Speaker 2: you know, stagnant, but you know, everything had been kind
- 25:20Speaker 2: of following the rules worldwide up until especially in the
- 25:23Speaker 2: American zeitgeist, like had been following the rules of things,
- 25:27Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you know, there was
- 25:30Speaker 2: the place went, It went wild. And that was right
- 25:34Speaker 2: at our formative years, like where we were going.
- 25:36Speaker 1: What I tell you, we existed at the full crumb
- 25:40Speaker 1: up the universe. Okay, So anybody that grew up in
- 25:42Speaker 1: the eighties as we did, and came into our teenage
- 25:45Speaker 1: and adult years in the nineties and early two thousands
- 25:48Speaker 1: as we did, you know, oh boy, we saw some shit.
- 25:54Speaker 2: It really yeah. I mean it went from wooly jumpers
- 25:57Speaker 2: to you know, wards caps very quickly, didn't you know
- 26:02Speaker 2: what I mean, very very quickly, Like and this Jerry
- 26:06Speaker 2: Jerry Springer was the perfect I suppose mirror to that
- 26:12Speaker 2: what was going on and what people wanted. People just
- 26:15Speaker 2: were paying for.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Blood people wanted and you can't put the toothpaste back
- 26:19Speaker 1: in the tube, Tom. And I'm not going to spoil
- 26:20Speaker 1: the documentary for anybody that hasn't seen it. Like I said,
- 26:22Speaker 1: it's not great, but it basically says, you know, you
- 26:25Speaker 1: can trace everything for the last thirty years back to
- 26:27Speaker 1: the Jerry Springer Show where the world where America and
- 26:31Speaker 1: subsequently the world kind of lost its mind a little bit.
- 26:34Speaker 1: And after that you get your big brothers and your
- 26:35Speaker 1: reality TVs and you and the Kardashians slapping the face
- 26:38Speaker 1: off each other and the real you're.
- 26:40Speaker 2: On only events selling you know, videos of your feet.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Selling picture to your feet, the way you go. It's
- 26:47Speaker 1: just like anything with the Jerry Springer Show. Anything went,
- 26:51Speaker 1: and nowadays anything goes. But those of you not familiar
- 26:54Speaker 1: with the Jerry or indeed Jerry Springer herself. Jerry Springer
- 26:58Speaker 1: was a Chicago politician.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Who shot my mind for I thought he was a solicit.
- 27:05Speaker 1: You know, I thought that he went into politics in
- 27:09Speaker 1: later life, but apparently know he did the Jerry Spoiler
- 27:11Speaker 1: latter to the Jerry Springer Show on about twenty eighteen
- 27:13Speaker 1: and then died in twenty twenty three. So he rocked
- 27:16Speaker 1: thistle the wheel game off. He became like a talk
- 27:19Speaker 1: show host, not not like in a Parkinson or in
- 27:22Speaker 1: a Wogan type of way, but more in a kind
- 27:27Speaker 1: of way.
- 27:28Speaker 2: But there was a game.
- 27:29Speaker 1: The audience kind of it.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Was Sally Jesse, there was herlity, here's the it was
- 27:34Speaker 2: fucking hell, there was They were continuous, just just a
- 27:38Speaker 2: conveyor belt to these fucking shows.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I got it. I gotta tell you. Like that was
- 27:43Speaker 1: a staple of American TV in the seventies and eighties,
- 27:47Speaker 1: but we didn't really We had Live at Three for
- 27:49Speaker 1: God's Sake with Derrick Davis, you know, which was like
- 27:53Speaker 1: Ireland a m only in the middle of the day,
- 27:56Speaker 1: so that sort of like come set in the character
- 27:58Speaker 1: and we'll have a chat. I don't believe that we
- 28:00Speaker 1: really had much of it of an Oprah Winfrey style
- 28:04Speaker 1: talk show on terrestrial TV over in America under the
- 28:07Speaker 1: likes of Ricky Lake, and this kind of thing started
- 28:09Speaker 1: to show up on Channel four in the death slot
- 28:13Speaker 1: at like half four. It was you know, it wasn't
- 28:16Speaker 1: kids TV. Wait until the Dinner TV, right, And it
- 28:20Speaker 1: was an easy watch to have on and and and
- 28:24Speaker 1: quite engrossing. But like the Ricky Lakes and the Upper
- 28:26Speaker 1: Winfries of this world were very sort of buttoned down
- 28:32Speaker 1: serious marital Martle problems and affairs of the heart or
- 28:36Speaker 1: god damn it, Land boundary issues and things like this.
- 28:39Speaker 1: And Jerry's Bringer came along with the same format but
- 28:44Speaker 1: with very different episodes.
- 28:46Speaker 2: But he was but he came out trying to be
- 28:48Speaker 2: the same thing for a while, didn't he, like you
- 28:50Speaker 2: might try And yes, yeah, yeah it was. And I
- 28:52Speaker 2: need to give an honorable mention because of the pass
- 28:55Speaker 2: and John Kenny a couple of a couple of weeks back.
- 28:57Speaker 2: But do you remember on one of the videos, I
- 29:00Speaker 2: think it was the Mother or the Telly and they
- 29:02Speaker 2: did a piss take of of that of what did
- 29:06Speaker 2: he call himself? The Ricky Whitelaw Show, and he's in
- 29:10Speaker 2: the audience and he's like this this whole thing like that,
- 29:14Speaker 2: you know, he he he was cheating with his and
- 29:17Speaker 2: it turns out like that your man sitting up there,
- 29:20Speaker 2: He's like, well, you know what, Jess I told my
- 29:22Speaker 2: back on her. It was like they all thought he
- 29:24Speaker 2: cheated on the wife and all it was actually he
- 29:26Speaker 2: just sold a cow and it was brilliantly done, but
- 29:31Speaker 2: it was I prayed that they would actually bring out
- 29:34Speaker 2: an Irish version of Ricky or or Jerry Springer because
- 29:37Speaker 2: Bringer was just blowing up at the time, but.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Springer just was mental. And I forget tom exactly where
- 29:44Speaker 1: I watched because we didn't have Sky in the house,
- 29:46Speaker 1: so I definitely didn't watch on Sky, but I want
- 29:48Speaker 1: to say that it was on.
- 29:50Speaker 2: For maybe it must have been.
- 29:52Speaker 1: It must have been, Yeah, we must have been Channel
- 29:55Speaker 1: four esque in it's in it's in its content basically
- 29:58Speaker 1: what it what it boiled down to. For those of
- 30:01Speaker 1: you that somehow missed this in the last thirty years,
- 30:03Speaker 1: it boiled down to bringing people out to start a fight,
- 30:08Speaker 1: So bringing out cheating spouses, bringing out unfaithful cheating spouses,
- 30:15Speaker 1: that son's not yours. I've been having fair with so
- 30:18Speaker 1: and so. Just bringing out strippers to strip bare ass
- 30:22Speaker 1: naked on the stage in front of God and everybody.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And then follow up on another episode where they bring
- 30:26Speaker 1: out the klu Klux Klan and a rabbi.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, my favorite. Well, I suppose we'll get into
- 30:39Speaker 2: some of the episodes, but if I want the sticks
- 30:41Speaker 2: out of my mind, and because a lot of them
- 30:43Speaker 2: like you're questionable, like you know what I mean, you're
- 30:45Speaker 2: going to Yanni for a few pounds, like whatever. But
- 30:47Speaker 2: there was one guy and I wouldn't remember this to
- 30:50Speaker 2: the day I died, because I was like, what poor disillusion,
- 30:53Speaker 2: I mean, the first signs of mental health for this
- 30:55Speaker 2: poor diffeet Like yeah, but it was one of the
- 30:57Speaker 2: first people I ever saw with a tattooed face before
- 31:00Speaker 2: my never had it. And it was a black chap
- 31:03Speaker 2: and he had a swatziga, a swastia on his face,
- 31:07Speaker 2: a giant one. And he was like, listen, and he
- 31:10Speaker 2: was making a real Jerry's looking at going you know,
- 31:13Speaker 2: I'm not probably keeping you know, keeping his powder dry.
- 31:16Speaker 2: But he's a Jewish faith like but he's looking on
- 31:18Speaker 2: at the bank, going, but do you see this is
- 31:22Speaker 2: a terrible idea.
- 31:23Speaker 1: The guy is going to see it disconnect here, sir
- 31:26Speaker 1: was sitting.
- 31:26Speaker 2: There going, listen, you don't understand that man was a
- 31:28Speaker 2: fantastic architecture of society, Like you got him all wrong.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I'm a big admirer of that. A fit Springer is
- 31:35Speaker 2: looking like.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Going, yeah, Springer is like a like a Jewish chap
- 31:42Speaker 1: and lost family in the Holocaust and all this kind
- 31:44Speaker 1: of thing. And he would just like say, you know,
- 31:46Speaker 1: but he was.
- 31:46Speaker 2: He wasn't even that he was angry. He was just
- 31:48Speaker 2: looking at the bank going but you know what Hitler
- 31:50Speaker 2: would do if he got je like what do you think? Yeah,
- 31:54Speaker 2: I know you got it all wrong. I still remember
- 31:58Speaker 2: that episode. It was one of the few was the
- 32:00Speaker 2: word Springer was just perplexed, looking wrong on. I don't know,
- 32:04Speaker 2: you've booked this fucker like this poor that needs to
- 32:08Speaker 2: be admitted to the hospital of some sort. He lost
- 32:11Speaker 2: his fucking head.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Well admitted. If he didn't need to be admitted to
- 32:15Speaker 1: the hospital, he might have been after the show because yests,
- 32:18Speaker 1: Tom were knocked out, had teeth knocked out, they got scalped,
- 32:22Speaker 1: they got the you know, bones were broken, furniture moved
- 32:25Speaker 1: to kind of phrase Fromie Bernie Mack like they kicked
- 32:28Speaker 1: the ship. And the producers were just like, deadly, that's
- 32:33Speaker 1: what we want. Put these up on stage. And they
- 32:35Speaker 1: did it. They did a kind of a trick. How
- 32:37Speaker 1: where you say, where do these people come from? Tom?
- 32:40Speaker 1: They did a trick. And I remember this when Jeremy
- 32:42Speaker 1: Kyle was up up and Court there or his ship show,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you know, over the last couple of years. Basically, if
- 32:49Speaker 1: anybody contacted the Jerry Springer Show, but even the hint
- 32:53Speaker 1: of like, you know what here you're looking for guests
- 32:55Speaker 1: and I think my husband's cheating on me, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 1: is that the kind of thing to be interested in,
- 33:00Speaker 1: the Jerry Springer Show would have them on stage within
- 33:03Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:06Speaker 1: We would just say we're sending a car around right now,
- 33:09Speaker 1: and then they'll come. They'd send the car around to
- 33:11Speaker 1: where the husband worked. Hi, how are you doing. We're
- 33:13Speaker 1: from the Jerry Springer Show and your wife contacted us
- 33:16Speaker 1: and she'd like you to appear on the Jerry Springer
- 33:17Speaker 1: Show tomorrow. Stick you in a limo. You've never been
- 33:20Speaker 1: in a limo in your life because you're from you know,
- 33:23Speaker 1: a lower a lower economic part of the on tree,
- 33:28Speaker 1: shall we say, Stick you in a limo, Bill you
- 33:31Speaker 1: with drink, take you for a night out in the Hilton.
- 33:33Speaker 1: And in the morning and at half ten you were on
- 33:35Speaker 1: the stage. You didn't have time to think what it
- 33:38Speaker 1: was you were going to You didn't have time to
- 33:39Speaker 1: go a fuck, no, I'm not going to do it.
- 33:41Speaker 1: They were just like in an eighteen hour window, go
- 33:45Speaker 1: grab you, stick you on a flight, bill you with drink,
- 33:47Speaker 1: show you a great time, so you didn't have time
- 33:49Speaker 1: to say, actually, you know what, this is going to
- 33:51Speaker 1: ruin my life for marriage or whatever. And then put
- 33:53Speaker 1: you on stage and then release a third person who
- 33:56Speaker 1: your husband had been cheating on and sit back, here
- 34:01Speaker 1: we go. That's your show.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Even to the point like because they knew it was
- 34:04Speaker 2: going to be fireworks, like you know what I mean,
- 34:06Speaker 2: But even to the point that one of the the
- 34:10Speaker 2: security man was a Steve. He got his own show.
- 34:12Speaker 1: It was one famous yeah yeah, And I'm afraid he
- 34:15Speaker 1: doesn't show up in the documentary at all. He doesn't
- 34:17Speaker 1: get I was went get mentioned because I forgot his story.
- 34:19Speaker 1: But there was a security guy going to his own
- 34:20Speaker 1: show out the back of it, didn't he He did, yeah,
- 34:22Speaker 1: like the big ball fellow like and yeah, yeah.
- 34:24Speaker 2: They were just looking. It got to the point where
- 34:26Speaker 2: it because they were like it was it was fabricated
- 34:29Speaker 2: a whole Jerry Jerry a second, Yeah, like it was
- 34:34Speaker 2: fabricated to make him seem more of a legends you know,
- 34:38Speaker 2: almost wrestling style like, whereas half the audience didn't hardly
- 34:42Speaker 2: know who the fuck they were shouting Jerry for. But
- 34:44Speaker 2: it came to a point that it was just like
- 34:46Speaker 2: somebody would say, cupcakes, fucking cup kicks. Kicks were just started.
- 34:52Speaker 2: So Steve would get in and he wasn't the most
- 34:56Speaker 2: you know, he wasn't the most He was a big man,
- 34:57Speaker 2: but he wasn't the most brutish looking fellow. But he
- 34:59Speaker 2: was just calmly come between him. And then as years
- 35:02Speaker 2: went by, it'd have bit more to say himself, and
- 35:04Speaker 2: they were cheering him on, Steve Steve and lo and
- 35:08Speaker 2: behold he gets his own show like doctor Phil style,
- 35:11Speaker 2: like going on.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I will say Tom now, And like I said, I've
- 35:18Speaker 1: watched enough professional wrestling in my life to know a
- 35:20Speaker 1: worked punch when I see one. There's a couple of
- 35:22Speaker 1: times punches are being thrown and they're their their their
- 35:26Speaker 1: their windmill and Tom, you know what I mean, They're
- 35:28Speaker 1: they're hitting air. But with that being said, there are
- 35:32Speaker 1: enough fights that were one hundred percent legit, so it's
- 35:36Speaker 1: it's hard to say. And in the documentary, and certainly
- 35:38Speaker 1: Springer took a secret to his grave. They they kept
- 35:43Speaker 1: kfe more than the wrestlers do these days, if they
- 35:45Speaker 1: were actually working all this, if they were putting it
- 35:48Speaker 1: on even in this supposed tell all documentary on Netflix,
- 35:52Speaker 1: they kept that secret to themselves. They took all that
- 35:56Speaker 1: with them to the grave. So I have to give
- 35:59Speaker 1: them some degree of props for that.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Yeah, And I thought there was going to be a
- 36:04Speaker 2: proper tell all. And in my head, I actually, you know,
- 36:07Speaker 2: I had the Mandela effect in my head because at
- 36:09Speaker 2: some point I was sure that they had all come
- 36:11Speaker 2: out that. But I think the most that had ever
- 36:14Speaker 2: come out was Springer saying, look at I don't know
- 36:18Speaker 2: what you know, what brought these people two together or whatever.
- 36:21Speaker 2: All we can do is book them when they tell
- 36:22Speaker 2: us a good story and hope that we can do
- 36:24Speaker 2: something with it, because we've got enough show to be
- 36:25Speaker 2: pumping out. We're not putting them on a you know,
- 36:29Speaker 2: for participants here exactly, so like you know, I'm not
- 36:33Speaker 2: responsible for whether they're telling the show or not. All
- 36:35Speaker 2: I can do is try and make an entertainment show,
- 36:37Speaker 2: you know. And I think that's what I believed later
- 36:40Speaker 2: in years, that what had come out was at just
- 36:43Speaker 2: a load of shite, do you know what I mean?
- 36:46Speaker 1: Like, you know, on slow days, it was just a
- 36:48Speaker 1: case of call up Central Castle and get a couple
- 36:51Speaker 1: of bodies out here.
- 36:52Speaker 2: And I p I used to do that for radio
- 36:55Speaker 2: stations here. They would relate the amount of like three
- 36:58Speaker 2: or four different radio stations that would book me, and
- 37:01Speaker 2: I just put on a different accent and I would
- 37:03Speaker 2: I would be an antagonist to whatever was hot at
- 37:06Speaker 2: the time, and sure nobody would know the difference, and
- 37:08Speaker 2: I'd get fifty or sixty euros for doing it, and
- 37:11Speaker 2: they'd just keep me on the line. And sure I
- 37:13Speaker 2: was just crowd work for me. I was just eating
- 37:14Speaker 2: it up. I would take it in all every way,
- 37:17Speaker 2: the the you know, the the callers would come in,
- 37:21Speaker 2: come in and come at me. I would just take
- 37:23Speaker 2: it so hard in the other direction every time. There
- 37:27Speaker 2: was no reasoning with me, do you know what I mean?
- 37:30Speaker 2: I was never gonna rea And that was and they
- 37:32Speaker 2: loved it. It'd be done and one and done in
- 37:34Speaker 2: ten fifteen minutes and then they get an hour and
- 37:35Speaker 2: a half talking about what a prick this guy, fucking
- 37:39Speaker 2: Jamie or whatever name they gave me, and it just
- 37:42Speaker 2: all it was a different accent because I mean, you're
- 37:44Speaker 2: on the you're on the telephone like, and it was. Yeah,
- 37:47Speaker 2: it was bullshit, but they had to on a Tuesday night.
- 37:50Speaker 2: They gotta get the engines fired on one of those
- 37:52Speaker 2: you know those late nights give you out in radio stations.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, tom stay stay with me after
- 37:57Speaker 1: the show. I want to know who books that, because
- 38:02Speaker 1: I could do that and might sleep and I you know,
- 38:04Speaker 1: yeah you can look don't tell you that much. But
- 38:07Speaker 1: Tom So Jerry Springer, this week's this lad. We said
- 38:11Speaker 1: we'd have a little bit of fun games here now
- 38:14Speaker 1: before we before we left this segment because the Jerry
- 38:17Speaker 1: Springer Show ran way longer than I thought did. I
- 38:20Speaker 1: thought it was a very much nineties phenomenon where the
- 38:23Speaker 1: TV show ran for ten years and then this sold us.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Remember those two hot for TV videos that you'd see
- 38:29Speaker 1: for Jerry Spring too Hot for TV and it would
- 38:31Speaker 1: be like unblurred and you could see boobies and you'd
- 38:35Speaker 1: hear them say fuck instead of just that was watching.
- 38:38Speaker 1: It was hard to watch the Jerry Springer Show because
- 38:40Speaker 1: like ninety percent it was just like beep beep, beep beep,
- 38:43Speaker 1: I'm going for you to be to bepep and you couldn't.
- 38:46Speaker 1: You couldn't watch it, you know, do.
- 38:49Speaker 2: You know what it was good enough for? Like you're
- 38:52Speaker 2: seeing this stuff nowhere else? This right now is people
- 38:55Speaker 2: are kind of maybe forgotten or there's people young enough
- 38:58Speaker 2: going what are you talking about it? I mean, I
- 39:00Speaker 2: can look at TikTok right now. I see a time if.
- 39:03Speaker 1: This was television trying to fights outside chip shops and
- 39:06Speaker 1: lad's getting the head booted off each other.
- 39:08Speaker 2: There was there was no there wasn't there was no
- 39:11Speaker 2: other way of witnessing lunatics before like you know what
- 39:15Speaker 2: I mean, doing this this or not? Yeah, this was
- 39:19Speaker 2: it the so.
- 39:24Speaker 1: But like I said, it was no flashing the pantom.
- 39:27Speaker 1: It ran for nearly thirty years and amassed, roughly speaking,
- 39:32Speaker 1: three thousand and seven hundred episodes. What what what nearly
- 39:39Speaker 1: as much as us you know what I mean. They're
- 39:42Speaker 1: up in Tom and Jerry territory, right.
- 39:45Speaker 2: So what I said to the episodes, Jesus Christ, that's
- 39:50Speaker 2: literally everybody in America has been on that show. You know.
- 39:53Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's it's it's it's crazy. So what
- 39:56Speaker 1: I want to do, yes, sorry, and I'm ready in
- 39:59Speaker 1: this year now my documents sorry if you if you
- 40:01Speaker 1: hear me multitasking over here the episode Tom, some of
- 40:06Speaker 1: them were featured in the documentary. You saw the title
- 40:08Speaker 1: of the episode and you were on this train or not.
- 40:10Speaker 1: So there were episodes like I Married a Horse, Yes,
- 40:14Speaker 1: and I mean all this kind of thing. So what
- 40:19Speaker 1: I've got here now is fifteen episode titles here Okay, yeah,
- 40:25Speaker 1: Ten of them are genuine Jerry Springer episodes, and five
- 40:28Speaker 1: of them I have applied my skills as a writer. Okay,
- 40:33Speaker 1: So Tom, do you happen to have a pen or
- 40:35Speaker 1: paper there I have. Yeah, okay, So what I'm gonna
- 40:38Speaker 1: do is I'm gonna call out these fifteen this fifteen,
- 40:42Speaker 1: so you can just make a little chart there one
- 40:43Speaker 1: to fifteen and just write true or false. There are
- 40:46Speaker 1: ten true ones and five false ones. Okay, and we'll see,
- 40:53Speaker 1: we'll see if you can. And I'm looking at these times. Yeah, okay,

- 41:18Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Tom, Just to let you know everybody,
- 41:22Speaker 2: Jerry's quite a dark bastard. He and very imaginative. You
- 41:25Speaker 2: could have worked on this show, no problem, no.
- 41:28Speaker 1: No bother whatsoever. And I gotta tell you, Tom, like
- 41:30Speaker 1: going through the episode list, I didn't go through all
- 41:33Speaker 1: three thy seven hundred of them, but going through them,
- 41:35Speaker 1: there was a lot of Remember this show came out
- 41:37Speaker 1: in the nineties, there was a lot of language used
- 41:39Speaker 1: in the titles of these episodes that doesn't pass most
- 41:43Speaker 1: or two days really that yeah you.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Know, oh yeah, because there was one that was like.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Yeah, couldn't get that on the air today.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Try It was like, Jesus Christ, I'm pretty sure, all right, okay,
- 41:55Speaker 2: pretty sure.

- 41:58Speaker 2: The gearbox of a car, right, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, right.
- 42:02Speaker 1: All right, okay, true through these Okay, so one to fifteen,
- 42:07Speaker 1: starting with number one, married to your dad, but I
- 42:10Speaker 1: want you back. Okay, you compile these at the end.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Number two past guests called out cold cocked.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Okay, go on, three.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Three, we'll never be cousins again.
- 42:38Speaker 2: I don't care. That's one of the best lines. You
- 42:40Speaker 2: know what.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Number four protrayal. Number five will cheat for food, okay.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Number six smashed up weddings.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Number seven, I'm not a lesbian. I want your brother, okay.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Number eight, big slap with a side of fights. Number nine,
- 43:18Speaker 1: threesome in a double wide.
- 43:23Speaker 2: That's it. That's a big move at home, right, Yeah, okay,
- 43:26Speaker 2: that sounds fairly accurate. Yeah.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Number ten, I slept with one hundred and twenty men,
- 43:33Speaker 1: including yours.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty on. On point.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Number eleven, I'm missing my man, getting ready to be
- 43:45Speaker 1: missing teeth. Okay, Number twelve, she won't admit she's pregnant.
- 44:05Speaker 2: I don't know. I think i've seen that episode.
- 44:07Speaker 1: That's number thirteen. I may not be your real dad,
- 44:12Speaker 1: but you're gonna sweep my yard.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Jesus Christ like Boys.
- 44:18Speaker 1: In the Hood moment, number fourteen, Saint Patrick's Day, Extra
- 44:24Speaker 1: Security Special, okay, and number fifteen. Unlike your computer games,
- 44:31Speaker 1: I'm not multiplayer.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Okay, Jesus Christ. Okay, okay, so.
- 44:38Speaker 1: That's one to fifteen. I'll have a look there. You
- 44:40Speaker 1: should have ten legitimate Jerry Springer ass and five. So
- 44:45Speaker 1: give me the five that you think. Just give me
- 44:47Speaker 1: the number and I got it over here, okay.
- 44:50Speaker 2: A number two okay, Number four mm hmmm, number eight
- 44:55Speaker 2: feet like I'm on blind date or something. Number eight, yes,
- 44:59Speaker 2: number eleven, and number one okay.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Fourteen, fourteen, okay, So that's the five of them, Tom,
- 45:08Speaker 1: you said number two. Past guests called out and cold cocked.
- 45:13Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real Jerry.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Springer episode where past guests that were particularly volatile or
- 45:21Speaker 1: violet violent are called out and have to go up
- 45:25Speaker 1: against members of the audience who just didn't like them,
- 45:29Speaker 1: and it all spilled out into fights. So basically get
- 45:31Speaker 1: that that Tom manny back on I didn't like what
- 45:34Speaker 1: he said about X y Z or what are you
- 45:36Speaker 1: gonna do about it? And this mashed each other up
- 45:39Speaker 1: pro trail number four Tom is also a Jerry Springer
- 45:44Speaker 1: episode that had.
- 45:46Speaker 2: A bang about bride off it.
- 45:47Speaker 1: I'm sorry that one. That one I'm afraid was was
- 45:50Speaker 1: a genuine Jerry Springer episode about bros. Who did not
- 45:55Speaker 1: put bros before Hoss number eight, Big slam up with
- 46:00Speaker 1: a side of fights. That's a real Jerry Springer.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Oh my fucking god, that they were running dry at
- 46:09Speaker 2: that stage.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Come on now, like they just put it on Front
- 46:12Speaker 1: Street with this, well, it wasn't subtle, like it wasn't
- 46:16Speaker 1: I'm wondering what way my husband. I know the title
- 46:19Speaker 1: episodes were literally like we're fighting tonight.
- 46:22Speaker 2: We used to do that, like we're try and be
- 46:24Speaker 2: real crafty with our episode names and stuff like that,
- 46:27Speaker 2: our episode descriptions. But then even you made appointment. We
- 46:29Speaker 2: should just be more playing with this.
- 46:31Speaker 1: The algorithm picks it up a lot quicker if you
- 46:33Speaker 1: just say, what's on the goddamn show? Number eleven, I'm
- 46:36Speaker 1: missing my man, get ready to be missing some teeth.
- 46:40Speaker 1: That is a McBride original. There my man, yes, well
- 46:44Speaker 1: spotted and number fourteen the Day Extra Security Special is
- 46:50Speaker 1: a McBride original. It was not a Jerry Springer episode.
- 46:53Speaker 1: With that being said, I did not go through all
- 46:55Speaker 1: three thy seven hundred, so I don't doubt they may
- 46:57Speaker 1: have a Sir Patrick's Day special where it's just get
- 46:59Speaker 1: let's get the irish on and get them liquored up
- 47:01Speaker 1: and get them smacked around the place. So you got
- 47:05Speaker 1: two out of the five Tom. The other ones were
- 47:09Speaker 1: number twelve she won't admit she's pregnant was McBride. Number thirteen,
- 47:12Speaker 1: I may not be your real dad, but you're going
- 47:13Speaker 1: to sweep my yard. And number fifteen onlike your computer games,
- 47:16Speaker 1: I'm not multiplayer again. It was just number eleven to
- 47:20Speaker 1: fifteen the back five or on me. To be fair,
- 47:23Speaker 1: I was too lazy to shuffle them in within in
- 47:25Speaker 1: the middle of because I would get them mixed up myself.
- 47:27Speaker 2: The first three I genuinely thought were so ridiculous that
- 47:33Speaker 2: you must have written them so clearly.
- 47:36Speaker 1: That's the world of jerrys That's what makes them this
- 47:38Speaker 1: week's this lad because he was okay, what can we
- 47:43Speaker 1: say Tom, And as I said, I'd circle back to it.
- 47:46Speaker 1: The chant Jerry, Jerry Jerry. I can say it now.
- 47:50Speaker 1: It's forty four year old man, twenty four years removed
- 47:54Speaker 1: from it. God, one am I telling you Tom, thirty
- 47:56Speaker 1: years removed from it, nineteen ninety four to this calendar
- 47:58Speaker 1: year years of the chant Jerry Jerry Jerry, which would
- 48:02Speaker 1: follow me around and break out comedy clubs. And you know,
- 48:06Speaker 1: whenever I attempted to do anything in front of a crowd,
- 48:08Speaker 1: be it pe or otherwise, has been it must be
- 48:12Speaker 1: said the bane of my fucking life. I have said
- 48:18Speaker 1: for thirty years. It didn't bother me. It does. It's
- 48:22Speaker 1: incredibly vexing, incredibly vexing, hilariously.
- 48:27Speaker 2: That you would have made a great guest on that
- 48:29Speaker 2: show if that's the if that it could, because I
- 48:32Speaker 2: mean it's so on brand that you would have gone
- 48:34Speaker 2: on there and gone stop calling me Jerry, and the
- 48:37Speaker 2: entire episode they would have called you Jerry and all that.
- 48:41Speaker 1: For eighty dollars on a hot dog, Tom any rate,

- 48:47Speaker 1: damn it. But you know what I'm going to tell you, Tom.
- 48:50Speaker 1: The one thing they promised with the Jerry Springer Show,
- 48:53Speaker 1: the producers promised a fight every night, and that's something
- 48:58Speaker 1: we promise on the Tom and Jerry Show show as well.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Around every show. They may use the same letters at
- 49:05Speaker 1: the end, but they don't call damn rhyme. Let's start around,
- 49:12Speaker 1: don't stop.
- 49:16Speaker 2: You. You have an ability every too often just brings
- 49:19Speaker 2: something on me. That's and I actually text you back
- 49:23Speaker 2: that boy is my pace. Yes, so you were spot
- 49:26Speaker 2: on with this, and I don't know how you feel
- 49:28Speaker 2: about it, because you know you're you're probably a nicer
- 49:31Speaker 2: fellow me deep down or whatever.
- 49:32Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I'm gonna I'm gonna google the origins of
- 49:35Speaker 1: it here just so we can. We can, we can
- 49:39Speaker 1: find out the exactly way give give the people the
- 49:41Speaker 1: gist of a time.
- 49:42Speaker 2: So essentially, there's a there's a bridge, and this is
- 49:45Speaker 2: very recent. There's a bridge in in Dublin across one
- 49:48Speaker 2: of the canalysts that has been nicknamed the Cherry Tomato Bridge.
- 49:53Speaker 2: And it is what it says on the tin, it's
- 49:57Speaker 2: it's gotta it's not in the sh shape with Jesus
- 50:01Speaker 2: Christ is fucking annoy me even saying this. Somebody put
- 50:05Speaker 2: fucking cherry tomatos on it. A couple of weeks back,
- 50:09Speaker 2: they've froze to it. And since then, the idol hunts
- 50:14Speaker 2: of Dublin who Christ above. They are nothing but unoriginal
- 50:19Speaker 2: and just jump on every fucking hacky niche eating like
- 50:24Speaker 2: if it's not you know, places as a bambiner or
- 50:27Speaker 2: fucking you know, coddle over the grave diggers, if it's
- 50:31Speaker 2: not one thing, it's another. It's like and you know me,
- 50:34Speaker 2: when it comes to buying the hype, I have to
- 50:35Speaker 2: run in the other direction. I can't. I can't buy
- 50:38Speaker 2: into stupid bullshit fucking things that are just feds. And
- 50:44Speaker 2: I mean there's fads in the shape of bad haircuts.
- 50:46Speaker 2: There's feds in the shape of you know, lads who've
- 50:49Speaker 2: never you know, get their nails done but still wear
- 50:52Speaker 2: car hard. There are feds that travel around the place.
- 50:55Speaker 2: This has to be one of the most innately stupid
- 51:00Speaker 2: fucking things that is going on in our nation's capital
- 51:03Speaker 2: right now, where people are landed. I mean, there's we're
- 51:06Speaker 2: seen you know in la Oh. There's a whole wall
- 51:09Speaker 2: of chewing gum. Great, there's a whole fucking bridge of padlocks. Great,
- 51:15Speaker 2: But there's cherry tomato thing where people are bringing just
- 51:19Speaker 2: cherry tomatoes to slap on just to leave on the
- 51:22Speaker 2: bridge as by way of I don't know, being pure gas,
- 51:29Speaker 2: like no doubt if I take if I checked it
- 51:31Speaker 2: on TikTok, it would be a thing that's happening right
- 51:33Speaker 2: now as we speak.
- 51:35Speaker 1: But what I love about you when you come into
- 51:38Speaker 1: these rouse is you can never tell what side of
- 51:40Speaker 1: the rear you're gonna learn. You know your masket so well,
- 51:47Speaker 1: it's hard to know whether tom's going to be poor
- 51:49Speaker 1: against this I had, you know, I've been seeing this
- 51:52Speaker 1: is just one of these things that it kind of
- 51:54Speaker 1: grows and await online. One of my New Year's resolutions
- 51:59Speaker 1: was to be less online, and I'm achieving that wonderfully.
- 52:02Speaker 1: I might say, you check in at the end of
- 52:05Speaker 1: the day to see what's going on, and I'm like,
- 52:07Speaker 1: why is it we're talking about tomatoes on the bridge.
- 52:09Speaker 1: A TikTok user was walking across the bridge and I
- 52:12Speaker 1: know the bridge because I crossed it all the god
- 52:14Speaker 1: damn time. And it's in from Condra, not known for
- 52:17Speaker 1: its whimsy. It must be said. It's not like there's
- 52:21Speaker 1: there's in shortitch you know this is from Condra, is
- 52:23Speaker 1: a Dublin.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Part of Dublin, Yes, yeah, yeah, in business up there.
- 52:27Speaker 2: The only thing is they're all going that way, you
- 52:30Speaker 2: know what I mean. There's lads I guarantee and drum
- 52:32Speaker 2: Contra dressed like ironic sailors, do you know what I mean?
- 52:35Speaker 2: Like where you know, and their beady turned up and
- 52:37Speaker 2: they've got like a yellow fucking mecan like they're gonna
- 52:40Speaker 2: go catch some fucking lobsters.
- 52:43Speaker 1: You know, I can't, I don't, I don't know. I
- 52:45Speaker 1: don't know about the cleon tele of drum Condra. Not
- 52:48Speaker 1: my week to watch them, but I did live there
- 52:50Speaker 1: for some time and it wasn't like that ten years
- 52:53Speaker 1: ago about that. Yeah, anyway, this lady was crossing the
- 52:58Speaker 1: bridge and so in the fusty weather of last week,
- 53:01Speaker 1: while you tell more hip deep in the snow battling
- 53:03Speaker 1: for survival, she noted that someone had left I guess
- 53:08Speaker 1: half upon it of cherry tomatoes or some spilled cherry
- 53:11Speaker 1: tomatoes on the bridge, and past comment on it, you
- 53:15Speaker 1: know what, cherry tomatoes on the bridge. What can you
- 53:17Speaker 1: what can you do? I can't find the original post
- 53:19Speaker 1: here and in the week that has gone past. As
- 53:22Speaker 1: you've said there yourself, people are like, oh, that's the
- 53:25Speaker 1: cherry Tomato bridge where the cherry tomatoes are, and they
- 53:28Speaker 1: go to see it and they pose for a picture.
- 53:30Speaker 1: Oh me on cherry Tomatow Bridge and some such and
- 53:32Speaker 1: you know up to a point, tom I gotta tell
- 53:34Speaker 1: you what an arm is it doing? That's Jerry point
- 53:43Speaker 1: all right. Today, if you're to go to that bridge,
- 53:46Speaker 1: it's littered in cherry tomatoes with little faces drawn on them.
- 53:49Speaker 1: Some gas bastard has left a jar of pisata. Oh,
- 53:56Speaker 1: this is where it gets into vex and for me
- 53:58Speaker 1: because now you're littering now your liberal Okay.
- 54:02Speaker 2: That's all it is, like they like I was reading
- 54:05Speaker 2: down through the article that you sent me on it
- 54:07Speaker 2: was like Dublin's hottest new tourist attraction. What in all
- 54:10Speaker 2: fuck are you on about? Like it was legitimized when
- 54:14Speaker 2: it hit national news website, the journal like Binley Mega
- 54:19Speaker 2: Chippy before the crowds flocks through it. Now I don't
- 54:22Speaker 2: know how they're alignment with Binley megga Chippy. I don't know.
- 54:24Speaker 2: If you saw this, you're knockdown. There was a chap
- 54:26Speaker 2: he still does a big fatful and he goes around
- 54:29Speaker 2: to chippers around the UK, brings his own table and
- 54:32Speaker 2: fork a knife, planks it outside in the footpath and
- 54:34Speaker 2: heads in to basic sample their chips and their group.
- 54:39Speaker 2: And he went to a giant one, this place called
- 54:40Speaker 2: Binley because it garnered such following, and he gave a
- 54:45Speaker 2: really good review of it. You're like, okay, all right,
- 54:48Speaker 2: it got a huge following the next day, which tends
- 54:51Speaker 2: to happen, and it's kind of a justifiable through line
- 54:53Speaker 2: to that this shit. Somebody left cherry smatters on the
- 54:57Speaker 2: fucking bridge and yeah, oh.
- 54:59Speaker 1: The thing is and and they're leaving jars a ketchup
- 55:01Speaker 1: and little Sashi as a ketch up a little yeah,
- 55:03Speaker 1: and that's to me, that's okay. Now it's gone into littering,
- 55:06Speaker 1: it must be said. What I'm looking at an article
- 55:08Speaker 1: about it here Tom, And there's a picture of a
- 55:09Speaker 1: guy who's like taking a picture of the cherry tomatos
- 55:13Speaker 1: and he is taking it, taking the picture with an
- 55:15Speaker 1: old film camera. And I'm like, now starting to Tom's
- 55:20Speaker 1: serie is starting to gain weight here mostly said, that's.
- 55:23Speaker 2: That's somebody now who he's just landed on his unicycle
- 55:25Speaker 2: like and I guarantee he's using an old classic typewriter
- 55:28Speaker 2: at home, like you know what I mean, while you
- 55:31Speaker 2: know he has an iPhone in his back pocket like
- 55:33Speaker 2: these fuckers have not They are not being worked hard enough.
- 55:38Speaker 2: This is what I'm This is what I continue to
- 55:40Speaker 2: circle back to. If you have the time, like if
- 55:43Speaker 2: you came up to me for the boats, Tom, I
- 55:47Speaker 2: have a fucking plan for the even great cherry. Let's
- 55:49Speaker 2: we're doing something for the podcast that we're going out there. No, Tom,
- 55:53Speaker 2: what we're gonna do is we're gonna go into super value.
- 55:56Speaker 2: We're gonna get some cherry tomatoes. Oh yeah, and then
- 55:59Speaker 2: we're gonna take it to a bridge and drom Candra
- 56:01Speaker 2: go on, and then we're gonna fucking put them on
- 56:04Speaker 2: the bridge and that's it.
- 56:06Speaker 1: Time. Well, you know there's a lot of play here, Tom. Okay,
- 56:10Speaker 1: number one. Here's the thing. When something happens organically like this,
- 56:14Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about organic tomatos, When something happens
- 56:17Speaker 1: organically like this, it's like, that's nice, that's a little
- 56:20Speaker 1: bit of color in the world. That's fine. After a
- 56:23Speaker 1: couple of days, you've got the hangers on and the
- 56:26Speaker 1: me toos and oh yeah, yeah, I want to see
- 56:28Speaker 1: it too, And I thought, and then you've got operations
- 56:31Speaker 1: and be like, we've got tomatoes too, where tomatoes are
- 56:34Speaker 1: only forty nine. And I'm like, okay, now it's gone.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Now you've ruined it. Now you've tried to monetize something
- 56:39Speaker 1: that was a little bit of fun, okay. And and
- 56:42Speaker 1: and then it's on to you know, it's a seagull
- 56:47Speaker 1: eating a strawberry the next day, or whatever the hell
- 56:50Speaker 1: it might be. It'll move on to something like I
- 56:54Speaker 1: have concerns like this is not about cherry Tomatow's on
- 56:57Speaker 1: the bridge, so I could give, I could care less.
- 56:59Speaker 1: You know how many charge matters. Don't don't leave plastic
- 57:03Speaker 1: on it? Okay, fair enough, leave all the charity tomorrows
- 57:05Speaker 1: you want it, fine, I don't care. I think there's
- 57:07Speaker 1: something to be said about, you know, how hard up
- 57:11Speaker 1: we are for entertainment that we will latch onto these things.
- 57:15Speaker 1: That's what's These are crumbs of joy, tom These are
- 57:18Speaker 1: crumbs of joy that were trying desperately. And I think
- 57:20Speaker 1: it's a probably not a great sign of how the
- 57:24Speaker 1: world is these days that like when we see something
- 57:26Speaker 1: like this We're like, finally something that I can smile about.
- 57:29Speaker 2: No, jar no, you're giving these fucos and out gone.
- 57:34Speaker 2: The world is hard on them. And you know what
- 57:36Speaker 2: about this is there out No, there's any amount of
- 57:39Speaker 2: fucking entertain and interest and cool things you could be
- 57:42Speaker 2: doing yourself that's creative. Instead, these fucking copycat wankers are
- 57:47Speaker 2: just going, let's all just go up there and be
- 57:49Speaker 2: part of the group.
- 57:50Speaker 1: That okay, But are okay with that? I assume you're
- 57:53Speaker 1: okay with the lady who initially found the charity tomatrows
- 57:56Speaker 1: on the thing and just innocently about it.
- 58:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's why I'm down for that. And
- 58:04Speaker 2: then it's the the rowing and taking a.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Pill, making a pilgrimage from the southside of Dublin from Condra.
- 58:11Speaker 1: You boy, you boys watch yourself up there. That's that.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Do you have an issuetor oh.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Do I what? Do? I? What?
- 58:20Speaker 1: Like?
- 58:21Speaker 2: Put in so many any Yeah, there's yeah, thank you,
- 58:25Speaker 2: Like I just can't fucking I can't. It was cool
- 58:28Speaker 2: and then they fucking ruined it. It's an anaras ruin everything,
- 58:32Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? These absolute dickheads who
- 58:34Speaker 2: just have no imagination themselves to come up with anything
- 58:36Speaker 2: cool up their end that they're just like, yeah, but
- 58:39Speaker 2: it's cool if we just all go and do the
- 58:41Speaker 2: same thing. Right, No, I.
- 58:43Speaker 1: Do, I will, I will, I will agree that. Like
- 58:45Speaker 1: you know, once the thing like this has gone into
- 58:47Speaker 1: its third day, don't go near it. You've no business
- 58:50Speaker 1: up there.
- 58:50Speaker 2: Yeah, you've ruined. You've ruined.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Now, you've no business up there. And and like you know,
- 58:54Speaker 1: don't here's the other things about. Don't try to replicate it,
- 58:58Speaker 1: because this is not a thing that some would made
- 59:00Speaker 1: that you can replicate. This was just a flash in
- 59:02Speaker 1: the pan that happened. Yeah, so it's not something that
- 59:07Speaker 1: you can't go and and go. I'm gonna put a
- 59:09Speaker 1: WD forty on a suspension bridge and it's gonna be
- 59:11Speaker 1: the WD forty bridge. No, it's not. Don't put anything
- 59:17Speaker 1: on a bridge. Things on bridges are done. We're good.
- 59:19Speaker 1: Don't put a cherry tomato elsewhere. Don't say, now there's
- 59:22Speaker 1: a cherry tomato on the train. We're done. Cherry tomatoes
- 59:24Speaker 1: and bridges, we're gone. Forget about that. That whole thing
- 59:27Speaker 1: is gone. It is gone, it's dead.
- 59:30Speaker 2: What do you know what my fear is is that
- 59:32Speaker 2: exactly did. And the next thing is that the as
- 59:36Speaker 2: the knuckle dragon people who for the one I mean
- 59:42Speaker 2: the knuckle dragon tick fuckers are everywhere, and sometimes they
- 59:47Speaker 2: can be disguised in popular groups. Do you know what
- 59:50Speaker 2: they meeke the skuy, and it can get hidden, you know.
- 59:52Speaker 2: But the reality is there's normally only a bit of
- 59:54Speaker 2: genius pops up every so often, or a bit of
- 59:56Speaker 2: look or a bit of crack pops up every so often.
- 59:58Speaker 2: For the most part, most people are just rolling behind
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: and going. And that's my fear now, is that there's
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: going to be vegetables now pop up on all sorts
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: of fucking bridges around the place.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, no, I mean that I can
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: live with it. That I can live with it.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get pussy about wasting food because we
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: can all see the writing on the wall, your fucking EGI,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: it's you're waisting food. Okay, I'm not gonna go down
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: that route because it's fucking hecky. I'm going to go
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: down the root of you said, fuck, this is it,
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: this is all you have. This is as good as
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: you can come up with. Is just copying, rehashing, what
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: already was.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: Don't rehash, be original as best you can. Yeah, I
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: think we're in somewhat agreement here Tom that if you
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: are walking through town someday, or if you're if the
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: light catches something in your room and cast a reflection
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: up on the wall that looks like Freddy Krueger, and
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: you laugh at it, and you take a picture of it,
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: and you send it off into the internet of whatever
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: happens happens. That's fine. Do that all day. You see
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: a pattern in your wood that looks like a dog,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: please share that, you know, if you if you if
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: you see you know, a copy of David Gray's White
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: Ladder lying on top of a ball, stop comment on that. Yeah,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: by all means to after that, let's all just calm down.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Try past the first twenty four hours, how about that? Try?
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: But I mean, trends are trends. Fidget spinners happened as well,
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But at least they were children.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: Like it's when you see grown ass fuckers and you're like,
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: you know what, we should be making more money off
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: you dumb folks. Because if this is the extent of
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: you know, this is this is the vastness of how
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: cool you can be. And you deserve to have your
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: money cleaned out of your podcet you have.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't need to you know, you don't need
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: to go back to work or college or wherever you're going. Like,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: you know, did you do it and not? The weekend?
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm such a guy's boss. Or I'm so.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: I spent the holday and I went over to Drumcondra
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: to see the charity to model bridges. Oh, it was obsessed.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: I was obsessed. Amazing.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: That gave me life.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: No, I didn't think you're putting all that on. Think
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: you're putting all that on? And yeah, and you know
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: there were better ways. I'm sorry to say, glad that
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. I think four better ways for you
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: to spend your day. And I'll tell you another thing, Tom,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing to Ah. What you want
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: to get now is the uber or super gas bastards,

- 1:02:26Speaker 1: are going to do. You know what they're going to do.

- 1:02:38Speaker 1: going to rock up on Halloween dressed as the church
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: models on the bridge, and it's like, you know, it's
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: like just like a thing with red, like you'll never
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: guess what I am. You'll never guess what I am
