1:02
I E? You're all very welcome to the Tom and Jerry Show. I
1:04
am Jerry McBride and I'm Tom Manney. Well, yes, indeed, with
1:08
that out of the way, Tom, let's get into the meat of the
1:11
matter. How are you doing, my buddy grand We were just talking off
1:15
air. I've said I was going to keep you up to date as that
1:17
the house built is going. We were laying stone today and it is going
1:19
well. And I did very well. The man is gifted and just an
1:26
inquisitive neighbor was overly inquisitive and I had to set him straight on the scenario
1:33
as to what was happening. And yeah, I kept it all under wraps.
1:37
The temper has been Yeah, I didn't let it loose. To be
1:38
fair, I was very mgnanimous about the scenario and I was very deft and
1:44
whatnot and kept it together because in all fairs, I was very excited.
1:48
I get very excited by high quality operators of anything, of anything. If
1:55
you can make a sofas, if you can make a sofa, I'm always
1:59
highly impressed by it. You know that kind of way. Keeping a cool
2:01
head is the main thing Tom, I must be said, I I it
2:05
was. It was in the moment because I'm quite passionate about stone, you
2:08
know that kind of way. Yeah, And I was getting excited about it,
2:13
and then all of a sudden I get this call from it, this
2:15
bloke up the road, and I had to put the kaibush on my temper
2:20
because I wanted to tell him exactly what everybody who knows me would normally tell
2:23
somebody in that environment. But I didn't. I kept it up. So
2:27
I'm proud of myself. That's what I'm saying. I'm just proud I'm part
2:30
of you too, because I think, yeah, you win these games on
2:32
aggregation. That's exactly Yeah, yeah, thank you. That's for about five
2:38
that's for about five stone and gravel and Tuesday. That might get that job
2:43
fair. I appreciate that. Jerry, that's really really good. I mean,
2:46
you were you hit paid ORTI on that one if I mean like it
2:51
was, I had that one in the back pocket the six months and more.
2:54
But you're very You're all very welcome along to the Tom and Jerry Show.
2:57
If I'm sounding even slightly different, Tod, Tom, I gotta tell
3:00
you it is thanks to the fact that I found this we do hickey that
3:04
I was looking for more more about it do Hickey, I want to hear,
3:07
because you are a man for do hickeys, I am, and you
3:09
know what it is like. There's a difference between losing something and forgetting where
3:15
you put it. Okay, oh hute, you're the frustration and forgetting things
3:21
and and and and like. But this is where the level head comes in,
3:23
Tomas. And as your level head helped you out with the big ar
3:25
man there, my level head helped me keep a level head about this thing
3:30
because what I'm talking about is and you probably nobody can see it on the
3:34
thing, and certainly if you're listening to a podcast, you can't see it.
3:36
But there's a little sort of like a gimbal on the end of your
3:38
microphone that attaches it to an arm and I had thought that was unnecessary and
3:45
I had unscrewed it, and I remember, I remember, I remember we
3:49
for the listeners, myself and Jerry had a back and forth through pictures of
3:53
how to put a fucking thing together, and Jerry would not wait for me
3:58
to show him the exact way to put it together. Of course he drove
4:01
on like your average father will drive on, cobbled some something together. Yeah,
4:08
I jerry rigged the whole thing together. That that that phrase was named
4:11
after me. It was, and it was working fine, and then I
4:15
moved Look, long story short, last week I was like, where is
4:17
that little snave it's that I had? It's like and it was nothing in
4:24
money terms, I'd say I could have bought another one for like fifteen year
4:28
old. Not a hope. Not a hope because they won't. It's like
4:30
a wingmer. You're never going to buy the glass. Well, no,
4:33
I guarantee I had I had found it. In truth, Tom, I
4:36
didn't. I wasn't going to get the one little specific thing I wanted,
4:40
but they would sell me part of a bigger thing, and I'd be like,
4:42
okay, well I'll have to throw the half of that out. Long
4:44
story short, Tom, They ever just know that you didn't throw a thing
4:48
out and it's not like well, I swept it up and threw it out
4:50
and I put it in the collection and stuff. And then that I threw
4:54
the whole thing out. I knew my heart and soul that there was no
4:57
world where I would have thrown this thing out. I just didn't know where.
5:02
This whole office is literally full of that. It could be the rhyme
5:05
of this office. It is full of things that I haven't thrown out,
5:10
and every so often I run across and put on firstly, they've become obsolete
5:15
to what I need them from them, like well and yeah, gee,
5:18
but you know it's in there somewhere, and it's not. It's it's never
5:21
getting thrown out. It's coming to the new house. Like there's a very
5:25
different satisfaction between losing something and finding it, and when you find it you're
5:30
like, oh, thank god, all of that was Anthony, I found
5:35
it and when you but there's a difference between when you find something you knew
5:40
you didn't throw out. It's like, haha, i've beaten you me.
5:44
Fair play to me for beating me. Yeah, I mean fair play to
5:46
me for beating me me, mart isn't it like you? It's like the
5:51
the meme of of Spider Man standing in a circle or pointing at because it
5:57
was that sort of thing Tom, Like, I don't live in a huge
5:59
house or in a state or anything like that. You know, I wasn't
6:01
in the east wing of the house. I knew those like six places this
6:04
thing could be and it wasn't. But it wasn't the seventh wasn't the seventh.
6:09
I just had to do the sums. Well, it doesn't matter to
6:12
size your house. This is an eight by eight studio, Jerry, And
6:15
there are more crannies than there are nooks. And I'll tell you right now,
6:17
I could hide half a cow and here if I wanted, or if
6:20
I hadn't necessity to, or if I didn't want it, it would hide
6:24
somewhere inside in this place. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. There's
6:27
a million in one. I found a fat Max Stanley's knife that I never
6:31
ever used in the pocket of a jacket just to my left the other day,
6:35
and I'd say, it's it's that old now it's probably gone out of
6:40
circulation. I don't know that you did currant blades even fitted anymore. That's
6:45
old. Yeah, yeah, I was. I was violently angry with myself
6:47
actually because I had actually put yeah, of course it is, of course
6:53
I find more. If anybody wants the best answers on a postcard today to
6:57
win yourself a Stanley fat Max Stanley knife. Yeah, never been finding,
7:00
only dropped blades. Blades never include, will not be included. Well.
7:05
Listen, speaking of lost and found time, we appear to have lost our
7:08
way into the episodes. We better find our way through to the regular show.
7:13
Ladies and gentlemen, you will all know that we kick off every week.
7:15
We'll look into the big noise of the week, Tom the brew,
7:19
the unsettlement, the story, the weekly what have you. This is a
7:24
very complicated case, mad You know, a lot of a lot of what
7:28
have you and a lot of strands to keep in my head. Man,
7:31
I like this one. You. We were back and forth on obviously what
7:36
we were going to do and whatnot, but you brought it up. And
7:41
rarely will you bring up something of science fiction that I'll be able to get
7:44
on board with. Yes, and again it not that I'm again it.
7:48
I love it. I love the idea of science fiction and stuff like that,
7:51
but certain stuff passed me by for whatever reason. Yes, and this
7:58
is the twenty five year anniversary of Darth Mall and Michael Collins himself, Liam
8:03
Neeson, Yes, and Michael Collins the Jedi. Do you know what that
8:09
is a cross pollination that I want to see the much wider Liam Neeson universe
8:16
that the world. Jim Will fix It, jimill Painted, I should say
8:18
Jim Will painted. Jim fixed It is a different vibe. But jimill Painted
8:24
is an amazing person you should follow on Instagram. And a gift I gave
8:26
to Jerry's just over his shoulder of the great Fred Dimnet standing It behind the
8:31
Towers and murder and Jim will paint any mad combo of things you put together.
8:35
And I love the idea of Michael Collins as a Jedi. And maybe
8:41
what was his name in Trainspoton? Was it? Oh? You and McGregor,
8:46
Yeah, yeah, I and McGregor what was his name? Yeah?
8:50
Just fighting your man? But yeah, but yes, I'm going to go
8:52
with your man. But yes, no, Thomas Crackt Right, if you
8:56
go down to the cinema today, you're in for a big surprise because you
8:58
can go and see the twenty fifth anniversary re release of Star Wars episode Won
9:03
the Phantom Menace and pulling back the curtain of the Tom and Jerry show.
9:07
Here when we're picking the weekly what have you, it's not necessarily the biggest
9:11
news story of the week, but it's the one that we can rip the
9:13
piss out of the most. Yeah, but to be fair, I don't
9:18
have much. I know, I fall all the time on my sword accidentally
9:22
when it comes to these trending things in science fiction, especially because I'll go
9:28
I like that, and then all of a sudden I get baraged on Twitter,
9:31
gone ugh du yeah, you don't even like it, right, these
9:37
bunch of basically Napoleon dynamites, just pylon going here. I don't know.
9:45
Should I not have liked it? I don't know what do you want me
9:48
to do? Here? I thought it was good. Here's the thing with
9:50
the Phantom Menace Tom, And it's twenty five years out, So if you're
9:54
twenty five years old listening to this, you might not even know what we're
9:58
talking. But when I came out, I was like seventeen going on eighteen,
10:03
and you would have been not far behindy seventeen going on eighteen, Like,
10:05
so I would have been just about the right height for coming out of
10:09
school and in a place where I'll be like, right, what do we
10:13
like? Now? All right, you're getting near to be a man.
10:16
Now what do you want and I was like, I'm going to like science
10:18
fiction. Always liked it. Sometimes if you're a school you'll be like you
10:22
you'd be slagged for liking that kind of thing. Oh, that's baby shit,
10:24
you know what I mean? Well, I know I'm a grown ass
10:28
man here now kind of sort. You know what, if I tell you
10:31
I like science fiction, I'm gonna watch this Star Wars and I'm gonna be
10:33
a Star Wars fan, and from here on out, I'll tell you one
10:35
thing. This is all the things I like. It's got spaceships and lasers
10:39
and fighting and robots and we monsters and buys, and I'm gonna like this
10:43
thing. And then I went and I went and I watched it Tom and
10:48
I don't know. It's the only one I've ever seen in the movies,
10:52
and it may tell you everything you need to know that I didn't. I've
10:56
never seen another. Yes, I did. My only connection to Star Wars
11:01
because it was ahead of both our times. It was the seventies, like,
11:03
so yeah, we were we were born too late for the first one,
11:05
but we were born and banging, you know, banging time this nonsense,
11:09
Well, whatever it is, I I think I figured it was on
11:11
the back. It actually was kind of like a new movie to me.
11:15
I knew nothing about it. Really, I was Lord of the Rings and
11:18
that kind of thing I was. Space stuff was never I could never put
11:22
my hand Ye. I was an Indiana Jones kid too, like I like
11:24
that. I like that kind of stuff, and but I could never put
11:28
my hand on the space stuff because it was like fucking everybody has mold moldy
11:33
heads on him and stripping off fellas and whereas at least you know. But
11:39
with this, I remember myself and my brother because we both saw the ad
11:41
of course, and the cool the only nothing cool. There was nothing cool
11:46
about lean Neeson with long hair, and there was nothing cool about Hugh McGregor.
11:50
But that dude with with the horns on his head. I was like,
11:52
but I don't know, this looks class dart mall, I said,
11:56
you light, we we knew nothing about. But I just went, it's
12:00
kind of a karate movie. I think it's in Karate in space. And
12:03
we both were into obviously karate movies growing up. Yeah, commits the commity
12:09
in space. Literally, that's what I was banking on. And I can't
12:13
tell you one thing that happened other than the fight where there was kind of
12:20
a laser and elevator door kept on coming up in front of him, and
12:24
they kept on having to stop. And I remember thinking, well, that's
12:26
the stupid shit I've ever seen in my life that you just get into it,
12:30
but you just get you start throwing the Thompson the digs. Thom's correct.
12:33
Likely. You know, there had been three Star Wars movies before this,
12:35
and like, you know, to think back now, it's like there
12:39
hadn't been a Star Wars movie in over ten years. It's like, yeah,
12:41
you know, what really wasn't all that long now that were grizzled old
12:45
men, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I remember watching the
12:48
original Star Wars movies when they come up on Telly, and I distinctly remember
12:52
one thing I hated when I was little, Tom was going like a stop
12:56
motion dinosaur on movies or things like this. Yeah if a dynasty, yeah
13:03
if picking someone up and fighting them in half. Always used to frighten the
13:07
shed out of me. Okay, right, and it was all right with
13:09
that. Lo and behold the start of Return of the Jedi. What happens
13:15
He falls into a pit and there's a big monster on the box that grabs
13:18
a man and bites him in half. And I was like, good,
13:18
look, I'm going outside the so you know people, right, Yeah,
13:24
I'm going to run around for a little bit. And I remember watching I
13:28
don't even know if I watched these all in sequence, but I remember watching
13:31
Empire strikes back and the boy gets an arm chopped off, and I'm like,
13:33
not going, you're all right with this, I'll go out and run
13:35
around. But when I was, when I was an older gentleman, when
13:39
I was seventeen or eighteen, I was like, you know what, I'm
13:41
going to watch Liam Neesen in this, and I knew who was who and
13:43
dar Vail was this lead, and so and so is his da and so
13:48
and so is his man and all this kind of crack. And I was
13:52
like, I'm getting into this, and I'll tell you it was a tough
13:56
road to the movie. If you haven't watched it, ladies and gentlemen,
13:58
then he's gonna let us know in the comments whether you liked it or not.
14:01
It's heavy lift, and so it is. Was tell me now,
14:03
because I have no memory of it. We drove to it and we watched
14:09
it, and I have no memory other than that, was it a load
14:11
of shit? Look, your man was cool after with the black face,
14:16
the black black face, the black and red face was all cool. There
14:18
was a lot of cool stuff in it, Tom, But like you must
14:20
remember, these things are for children. Well, Samuel Jackson leaping around in
14:24
it with Yoda. Samuel Jackson was in it after the fact. Yeah,
14:28
he came in it after the fact. And look, it's not like he
14:30
killed the franchise dead, because it's still to this day. All the new
14:33
movies came out and they're fine, I suppose. And then I did watch
14:35
that Mandalorian TV show and I thought that was I didn't like the data of
14:39
it. I like that just fine, Like you know, I've watched the
14:43
Star Wars in my time, Tom, Yeah, but there came a point
14:48
where I was like, you've lost me here now. So what I want
14:52
to ask you now, since we both peeled peeled back the envelope on this
14:54
one, like you'd know a bit more the lower I suppose than I.
15:00
Yeah, none of the lower I know none of it. Going in.
15:03
I took it at face value and came away going I like the Lord.
15:05
Yeah, but Is it worth? Is Star Wars thing? Is it worked?
15:11
Like? Is it? Because it sounds like a heap of work like
15:15
it? Here's the thing, here's your problem with the Star Wars. Here's
15:18
my problem with Star Wars. Now. I'm gonna tell you this now.
15:22
It takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far far away,
15:26
and there's hundreds of planets, thousands of people and any amount of things you
15:31
could go, places to go, people to see, people to meet,
15:35
and it's the same seven fuckers over and over again, and everything's tied back
15:41
to Luke Skywalker. You can't turn a sweet in your mouth, but someone
15:46
that's a distant cousin or a relation or a christ knows what. What do
15:52
you think? It was the first of its kind when it came out at
15:54
first, the first, because I don't think it's been replicated so many times
15:58
over over. Game of Thrones was Star Wars. Technically the new Rebel Moon
16:03
thing is Star Wars. Apparently all intents and purposes, apparently the new one
16:07
is very righty, or there's an uncut there's an uncut version that's ferodiedly righty
16:14
that your man brought out. I don't know, but were they the first
16:18
to do this? But they did it in space? Like was it what
16:21
I'm trying to say, Like, was the Darbio Gill and the Little People?
16:23
Is that where we peaked on supernatural carry on? I think that's where.
16:27
Yeah, after the Darbio Gill and the Little People? That was it
16:30
was? Lord knows what. I'll tell you what Star Wars is like,
16:33
Tom that everybody knows everybody. It's like being an Irish lad working on a
16:40
site in Australia. You know, and no matter where you are in Australia,
16:44
who are you O'Connor from where? Oh yeah, I know, yeah,
16:47
and I know you, and I know your father and I went to
16:48
school with your bordering all this kind of crack. That's what it is like.
16:51
Luke Skywalker just shows up on a desolate wasteland planet in the arsh hole
16:55
and no war in space, and there's someone sitting acrossway going come on,
16:59
look a hippen Jesus right see. For years in I'll tell you how little
17:04
I understood I For years I thought Indiana Jones was Luke Skywalker for years.
17:10
Turns out, and when I found out subsequent to that that he was only
17:15
the understore. You know that he was only the support actor. I was
17:18
like, yes, shit, So because the Indiana Jones, who's this Mark
17:22
Hamill? Follow what what's he done? Since not no grant? You can
17:26
park that because if Indiana Jones is on top of the bill, then I
17:29
don't want to know. And he's apparently been out acted by a dog,
17:33
a big hairy fellow dog fella. So I will tell you one thing.
17:37
Tom Airman Liam Neeson is in episode one of Star Wars, and like,
17:41
I remember thinking he was an old man back then, and he's like an
17:44
old man in twenty five years later. He suddenly started whipping ass. The
17:48
hair is still lovely and brown though for play. Here's the thing, right,
17:52
the one thing I remembered distinctly about it because it was big noise and
17:55
it was in all the I don't know if I don't know if this still
17:59
happens to this day. Folks when you're listening to us, remember we come
18:02
from a time that if a movie was coming out, a big movie come
18:03
out, it was on the news, like it made the nine o'clock news,
18:07
and there was big There was a big hubbub in London today for the
18:11
Royal premiere of Star Wars episode one. I remember it was on the news
18:15
at ten, the London premiere of Hot Shots Part two. They would do
18:19
it for anything. It was just a way to fill five minutes the news
18:22
and Prince Charles met Charlie Sheen and all this kind of nonsense, right,
18:26
But I remember there was a big drive on for Star Wars and it came
18:30
out in the summer, yes, But the Christmas before that, Liam Neeson
18:34
appeared on The Lately Toy Show with Gayborne, right, and he just walked
18:40
out just in the Cities. He wasn't dressed up as a Jedi or anything
18:41
like that, and Gayborne was having the crack with him and saying, Harry
18:45
keeping Liam, what's going on? And Liam Neeson is a foot and a
18:48
half above Gayborne, like he's a big, tall dude. And Liam Mason
18:52
is saying like, oh, well, you know what a minute, I'm
18:56
gonna try and do Liam Neason here. You're the impression of a man about
18:57
us, So let me try and do Liam Neson close enough to He's like,
19:00
I'm on the board up to road, yeah road, well, nogay,
19:07
I'm just filhaming Star Wars at the monut and so that's what we're doing.
19:14
That's going to keep me busy for a little while. And the crowd
19:17
we're all like, polight applause. Yeah, well then you're doing Star Wars
19:18
and gayborns is right, fair enough, and it's the tie show. And
19:22
you have two wee buys at home, which there are grown men now at
19:23
this stage. Ah, but we got them a little something. And he
19:26
brought out two Hurleies for the boys, right right, slim to take him
19:32
home with him a nice jester, all right. And I remember at the
19:34
time they were kind of like a soft Hurley for kids, right yeah,
19:41
yeah, yeah yeah, And they were only new at the time, And
19:44
they gave him two two Hurleies, right, and two slithers all right,
19:48
but the slitthers were in like if you can imagine a punnet of slitters,
19:55
and it was a punnet that held six, but there was only two in
19:56
it. You have the most obscure bride. What But that just stuck with
20:06
me for life. Why didn't they give him six letters? Who? Who
20:10
Liam Neeson is coming in this evening? Like like, come on, man,
20:14
give him down the lifestyle sports get two Hurleys and slitterers are the six
20:18
slitters, right, take four out of it and give you why would you
20:22
take four slittherers out of a pack of six. I've only brought a twenty.
20:26
I can't buy off six. Come on, look at and if you're
20:30
going to give him two very much, if you're going to give him two,
20:33
just hand him the two. Don't leave men upon it. Yeah,
20:36
and like just just hand them the two. Leave him at that now,
20:37
and like not for nothing, but like Liam Neeson was married to an english
20:41
woman, so them kids are half English, they're going to promptly lose down
20:44
slitters. They're like, give them the six slitters, right, they're half
20:47
englishmen with a hurley, Like they're not going to be able to control that
20:51
ball. And that's that's that's one of my big memories of Star Wars.
20:55
Episode one gave them. I couldn't wrap my head around the backward forward,
21:00
upside down your underpants inside out starting episode one. Four movies in, I
21:04
was like, well, I'm not fully invested here. That it's because if
21:08
we've gone back to the beginning and he already started without me, then I
21:11
don't know where we're going with this. And look we walked out of the
21:15
place kind of gone, yeah, this was the thing Myselven brother used to
21:21
do at the time. I remember going to see Eminem in Punches Town,
21:26
Okay, and we pulled up We're going to staying in Dublin, having a
21:30
couple of drinks and we went to see I think it was ponscious and we
21:33
went to see him and we went there's muck and scudder everywhere we found one.
21:38
We stood on one patch of grass. See all these lads going around
21:41
with do rags. White lads going around with do rags, with their trousers
21:45
around, jocks, hanging out the whole lot. Myselven, it was a
21:48
big for eminem fans. We couldn't cannot buy into the right. I'm very
21:53
bad at buying into the yes, I'm very bad at that. I just
21:57
can't when it comes to going with the crowd on a thing. It's not
22:02
that I adversely go against it, but I'm like a Christ that looks like
22:04
a load of efforts to try and look like somebody. I just I just
22:07
look like me, will I and just leave that there and we can still
22:11
We stood there four song, second song, about a half and we both
22:15
looked at each other when you're still a big fan. I'm still a big
22:18
fan. Do you want to Yeah, we're back in the gard traffic five
22:22
minutes later and we inter Dublin men actually had some pints properly, but yes,
22:26
the same thing. We gave it a go ins. We gave the
22:30
phantom Menace a goal, which I always thought was a ridiculous name because I
22:33
liked reading Dennis the Menace, and I thought it was the most undangerous name,
22:38
the most inert villain name you could. You're a menace, really what?
22:44
I have a sling shot in my back pocket, fire a couple of
22:48
pedals at your window. You're a You're a phantom menace. So you're a
22:51
menace that's not even here yet. I'll give me a shout when you're at
22:53
the door there. Do you know what a phantom menace is? Somebody plays
22:59
that, you know, Nick neck or whatever it is or Nick Knack,
23:00
and you just knock, run away and hide. The phantom man even know
23:06
where you are. And in this spike he headed wild looking wore. That's
23:11
I don't need. Yeah, that's the thing. I don't even think he
23:12
was. I don't think dark Mall was the Phantom Menace. I think no,
23:17
Phantom menace was just the lingering threat of danger, was it not?
23:22
The old boy that was had the hood over his eyes, giving it giving
23:25
it loads? Twenty five years later, I still don't know. Oh do
23:30
you not? I thought you was full, sure you were. It was
23:32
just like, oh yeah, I know. And that's the damnedest thing,
23:34
Tom Like. It was a poor movie, and you knew it was the
23:37
start of a trilogy, so you had to wait around another three years to
23:41
see if it got good. And then it didn't, and you said,
23:42
well, all right, about to wait another of two or three years to
23:47
at least see the end of it. Was there something you go, like,
23:49
I have wasted eight years? Was there some soppy young flip show?
23:55
Some young flip turned up in the next one? I'm I wrong? All
23:57
right? There was young or was he in that one? He was?
24:03
He was doing the podcast, the podcast, and we're doing podcasting. He
24:07
was doing I know what you're thinking of, because he was in a movie
24:11
doing a podcast, and he's about eighteen stone heavier as a man. He's
24:15
some he's some bullock of a lad. Now, well the young lad now,
24:18
and we won't get too deep in it. But the young lad that
24:21
played Anakin Skywalker and Phantom Men, he was only about eight or nine at
24:23
the time, and he got bullied mercilessly for it, and then he quit.
24:29
He quit acting. I think he I think he's having his I think
24:30
he's having his I think he's having issues now these days that sort of way,
24:34
like on account of several things. But yeah, I know he's not
24:38
seen in public in a long time because he's having He was podcasting in a
24:44
movie Problems. I saw him. He was podcasting the movie I saw him,
24:47
and I think it was that movie Tusk, which I would urge people
24:49
if you're in the mood to see one of the most messed up things in
24:52
your life, only like only to be superseded by the human centipede, go
25:00
watch Tusk. Just heavy lifting heavy. I don't know. I don't know
25:04
that there's anybody Star Wars if I know the gas and you're on about,
25:07
though, I don't think he's meant to do with Star Wars? Is he
25:10
not? Joe Christensen? No, No, that's the that's no. No,
25:15
that's the way lad from the sixth sense, that's the boy. They
25:18
can see dead people as sure, look at the same thing, isn't it.
25:19
He can see the Phantom menace here. If you don't, if it
25:29
is your bag, go see it. You know what I mean. I
25:32
cannot tell you if I thought his load of shite or not, but I
25:34
didn't become a major fan as a result of it. Afterwards. It's it's
25:38
in cinemas now if you want to go see it. And may the Fourth
25:41
be with you. Tom. That's enough about those lads, because I gotta
25:45
tell you what we're gonna do. We're going to rock and roll with the
25:47
show, Tom and segment number two of the show. People should be getting
25:51
the swing of it is when we talk about somebody that the kind of person
25:55
when you talk about them, you don't just say, oh, well,
25:56
and then there's this lad, Tom, You say, then there's this lad.
26:03
Now there's that guy, this lad for this week. You don't have
26:07
a name on him. There's no there's no name, there's no name to
26:11
be name. He's got actually quite a star Wars name. He's got a
26:14
name like a droid. What indeed, ladies and gentlemen, we are talking
26:18
about B four hundred, Yeah, before indeed be four hundred. Is the
26:23
gain is who we are talking about right now. It sounds like the CB
26:27
handle a fellow would give himself that drives in a zero zero I S two
26:32
hundred Lexus and goes rallying around the Midlands in it, and he's like a
26:34
breaker. This is be four hundred smoking tail, doesn't it will be four
26:42
hundred, ladies and gentlemen. Is not a droid in the Star Wars maybe,
26:45
nor is he being chased up the road by Smokey B. Four hundred
26:49
is the foreman in the jury of the trial of Donald Trump currently taking place.
26:57
Now what makes him? This week's this Land though, because this letter,
27:04
you know what, I love Herland. I love Herland. This he's
27:10
Irish that he's not American Irish now one of these I'm Irish. You know.
27:15
He can trace my roots back to ballonaire in Ballana. No, this
27:21
guy's actually from Ireland. As soon as you sent it on to me.
27:23
Because I don't look at the news at all, and I think I get
27:26
I think I just see the most stupid things, and you you know,
27:32
everybody else talks about political stuff, and I think my phone knows that.
27:34
I just I don't have the capacity for her, but I do like,
27:37
I love this because the description of him was he's fairly outdoorsy, Like he
27:47
describes himself as outdoorsy, and he likes watching Emma's NBC News and Fox News,
27:52
which are obviously because heaven forbid, Americans would have just I know what
27:57
kind of an attitude have to be one side of defense that Christ Almighty.
28:03
It's it's amazing to me the way the Americans can pick a news like,
28:08
yeah, where do you like? You ask me where you get your news?
28:11
I don't know. I just kind of walk out in the rain and
28:12
hold my hands out and whatever happens happens. You know, these guys are
28:17
like, you know what, I trust this news, but not this news.
28:19
We could talk all night about that, but there you go. Fox
28:22
News. Is Fox News trumpy? Or is CNN trumpy? I don't know.
28:27
Fox News would be Fox News would be right wing leaning, okay,
28:33
and then CNN would But they totally don't do the news, sure they don't.
28:37
They just don't know. No, both both sides, I've seen their
28:41
news, and both sides they're just the most dramatic thing. Again, the
28:45
other side, you're like, that's not the news at all. You're getting
28:48
cranky. Yeah, no, like if Fox News would be like Mexicans.
28:52
And again yeah it's okay, no, but what what are you telling me?
28:56
But Donald Trump currently is experiencing legal troubles there, Tom, not our
29:00
place to comment on it, but he is if I'm correct here now,
29:06
Because there's been that much thrown at the man over the last ten years,
29:08
it's hard to keep tracking. But this particular trial is that he used funds
29:15
in a fraudulent way to pay off a lady called Stormy Daniels. Is this
29:19
the hush case? Like? Right? Isn't it hard to just keep tracking
29:23
what I do? I don't. I don't. Literally every day there's a
29:27
new yok like and I don't know. It doesn't seem, it doesn't seem
29:30
to take any effect. But yes, I suppose it is. That is,
29:33
he was misused his own pocket, all right, fair enough, And
29:40
he can't use company money for this crack either, Tom. But yeah,
29:42
it'd be hard to fraud, buddy, But an irishman has made it onto
29:49
the actually onto the jury. Yes, and and Tom, here's what we're
29:52
going to do as an experiment here. And we won't name this man by
29:56
name because we don't know his name. We're going to try you and I
30:00
work out as much as we can from this man from the information available to
30:04
us. Okay, okay, okay. First of all, I want to
30:08
point out how excited I am on his behalf, because it's like when you
30:11
see somebody at the super Bowl wearing a male for seventeen Yeah. Yeah,
30:17
it's like going out. Oh yeah, I see that sometimes if I'm watching
30:19
the wrestling and it goes out into the into the crowd and their signs and
30:22
someone holding up like an Irish flag, I'm like, who are ye?
30:25
How did you get over there? That's exactly ya, Because we'll turn up.
30:30
We'll turn up at anything, like you know, you'll get a Ladini
30:32
kill Kenny Jersey at a riot in Moscow, you know yeah, oh yeah,
30:34
yeah yeah yeah. And it's cold over there, like you want to
30:38
jacket over that kill Kenny Jersey. But he's like, no, I gotta
30:41
I gotta show that there's a cat out here. We we do, we
30:45
get around, and it must be said, Tom, I'm very proud of
30:49
him. I suppose that he's gotten this far in life to be chosen for
30:53
a jury at random from everybody living in New York where he is right now?
31:00
Know his name, because you know, the second I suppose he's keeping
31:03
his he's got to keep his powder drive. But Jesus, if you got
31:06
in on a major case jeury like this, how would you not text?
31:11
I would I or the mother or something? It has to be you know
31:15
that there was people living wherever this man is from those people listening to that
31:21
jury selection come out, and every segment that, every every little nugget of
31:25
information they gave on this chap, they leaned in a little closer like they
31:29
were getting six numbers in the hang on yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
31:32
five, and he's this, and he's that, and he lives here and
31:37
there, just leaning in closer. That sounds like that sounds no, and
31:41
does he that's your man, young Samuel's So what do we have on him?
31:48
So that's what we have on him. I kept on getting shut down
31:49
every time I went into a thing, like the Guardian shut me down out
31:52
of it. Now it was through my phone, but it was like it
31:55
wouldn't let me read half of what I needed to read about him, Like
31:59
I was, it's it's I have it here, okay, okay, everything
32:02
that's known about this man we know better right here? Okay? Uh he
32:07
is duror one B four hundred mile the four person, And pardon my legal
32:14
ignorance here Tom, but like all my legal knowledge comes from Aley mcbill four
32:16
person in a jury. That's I guess the guy that stands up and says,
32:20
have you reached your verdict? Yes, your honor? Okay, right,
32:22
I loved, I love Yeah, I swear to God. If he's
32:27
from West Kerry, South car you reach it. Have you reached a verdict
32:32
when I got him sails only gallibaum, only callible can make it right in
32:38
No, we didn't ask you that. So we asked you if you've reached
32:40
a verdeict. I want jimm after lim wd my my fatherly old for that
32:45
man down below, and he sheep gonna should be leaving him alone. Listen
32:52
to me. Okay, here we go. Let me get this right.
32:55
Okay. So number one, here's what we know about about Dr B four
32:59
hundred this week, this lad, okay, first informosts how he presented himself
33:02
to the court. He rocked up wearing a black T shirt and carrying a
33:07
backpack. That's important time, okay, because you know there's people that carry
33:12
backpacks and people that don't. Yes, yes, like yeah, yeah,
33:15
your dad won't carry you back not a fit, not a fit. I
33:20
would carry you backpack because I might have like stuff in it. I'd never
33:23
go. I haven't gone backpack in a while. I have a backpack,
33:28
there, haven't. I have Indiana Jones style fishing. I only found out
33:32
it's a fishing saxel. But it's for going to gigs and stuff like that.
33:36
But it is a sexual You're a part to a session, impartial to
33:38
a satchel as well. I'm rocking a backpack these days, double double strap
33:42
it across, you know, but like that that means to say, like,
33:45
you know, it's youtifulish, I guess that's what he's. Yeah,
33:52
he's got to be sub fifty. He's got to be well sub fifty if
33:54
you have Okay, so we get into it. So he's wearing a black
33:57
T shirt and a backpacks T shirt and a backpack. So this is you
33:59
know, you know, I don't want to be straight away like oh he
34:01
loves himself. It's wearing a black T shirt. Here we go, all
34:07
right? Also, not for nothing time, he didn't know he was going
34:10
to get selected for any particular jury. Like imagine you're just you're just called
34:15
a okay, calling to see if you're eligible for jury duty. Okay,
34:17
go in there with forty other people are going to pick twelve of you,
34:21
and you sit down and you look across the way and it's Donald Trump sitting
34:23
there, and you're like, Christ, my life was one thing and now
34:28
it's another. Yeah, you know, this is it. This is the
34:30
defining moment of my life. So he's just the book deal already locked in,
34:35
right. Yeah. Now, if you thought you were going to be
34:37
called for the jury of Donald Trump, like, you wouldn't lock up in
34:39
a tirt in a backpackage. No, No, you wouldn't. All right,
34:44
Okay, So he is a middle aged salesperson in middle age plus black
34:49
teacher plus black packed puts in twenty five to thirty three in my book.
34:54
I don't know. I think middle aged. I think they in America thirty
34:58
plus would be I think it is. Yeah, I would be thirty plus.
35:00
But he's a salesperson, so he's not selling. He's not selling certainly
35:06
not selling suits. If he's rocking up on the T shirt, do you
35:07
know what I mean? Software, I don't know. I mean, like,
35:14
here's the thing, Jerry, are the days of software salesman still a
35:16
thing? I don't think that's a thing. It's not like you're rock on
35:19
road, rock up to somebody, say hey, you want to buy a
35:21
laptop. There aren't many salesmen left anymore. Maybe he's a banker of some
35:24
sort. Is he if he was a banker, Say he was a banker,
35:27
that'd say he was a broker or a in finance as they say,
35:31
like a be like, oh, he's he's a crypto trade or something crap
35:37
like that. No salesperson sells something. See what he works in a TV
35:42
or a computer shop like Harvy. He works in like an Apple shop or
35:45
some such like. And he's legal. He is legal. That's the thing,
35:47
because not everywhere, no he is. You wouldn't be. Yeah,
35:52
this isn't a lad. That's dodging. That's dodging immigration because he immigrated to
35:55
the United States from Ireland. That that is, he is a middle aged
35:59
salesman who immigr to the United States from around So he's legit, right,
36:04
which and I'm just going to say this kind of says to me, not
36:07
a tradesman. Yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna sorry to do it to
36:13
you guys over there, to anybody that's living over there. But you know,
36:15
there's a bang of undocumented about the trades. I'm sorry, it's true.
36:21
It's true. And see also musicians and just the arts in general.
36:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a guy that knew he wanted to
36:28
go over there and work in whatever their equivalent of the vodaphone drop is.
36:31
Yeah. Well I shoveled concrete illegally there for a little bit, so I
36:36
get Yeah, yeah, I didn't have a trade actually to my name,
36:38
I was just arms and legs and eight. That was it. Yeah.
36:42
Well, you know, but the statute of limitations is that is over.
36:45
But at the same time, you weren't going to get called for the Trial
36:46
of this century either from unlikely given the scenario that I was no very you
36:52
know, there was only one way you were going to be key clearer in
36:54
the trail of the entry. Yeah, okay, okay, So what else
37:01
we got on him? He lives in West Harlem. Okay, Now,
37:06
I don't know much about West Harlem, but I know Harlem is Harlem,
37:09
right, But I know you also have Spanish Harlem, and like, is
37:13
there a lot of Irish in West Harlem. I thought we always preferred Queen's
37:15
and youngers Hell's Kitchen or yeah no, or or New Jersey in general,
37:20
like, you know, not in Manhattan at all you'd find yeah, I
37:23
know you'd find Irish there all right, but normally it is out in the
37:25
borough. It's like I said, Younkers is big Irish. They you know,
37:30
Queen's big Irish Flushing, Flushing, what is the flushing, Queen's Flushing
37:32
meadows, Flushing, Yeah, toilets whatever. Yeah, typically, well Younkers
37:37
is now And I hate to get all geographically and you Tom that's up top,
37:40
right, I think so, I think, right, Listen, I
37:44
was there, That's all I know. I guess, I guess, I
37:46
guess if he lived in and I think I have people in the Yonkers Althold
37:50
as well. If you lived up that direction and just needed to move in
37:54
towards the city to have a better transport to his job in what I've decided
38:00
is Verizon Wireless, then that would yeah, okay, Harlem's a sort of
38:06
halfway out between that, right yeah, yeah, yeah, it would hasn't
38:08
quite been gentrified out. The rent will be relatively cheap probably there's so much
38:15
to rent there, but it's still and New York's rent is. I don't
38:17
know what way it is at the minute, but I mean it isn't Yeah,
38:21
I mean it's I'm not asking. I gotta tell you that I'm not
38:23
asking this for no particular reason. Okay, Yeah, if I work out
38:25
what this man's rent is, I can narrow it down to a county he's
38:30
from, oh right, but also like his Yeah, he has his sales
38:37
job too, as you said, possibly in an Apple store or something like
38:38
that. Yeah, you know, I could be wrong, but he just
38:43
speaks tech to me here the black teacher, don't you know on a big
38:45
Apple thing, like if it was Apple or Tech was either League Slip or
38:49
Cork. Those are just two big spots. Like no, but like you
38:52
could be working in Vodaphone and goll with justice handy and like right not fair
38:55
skills right over. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
39:00
there's there's something that there's something about the there's something about the at loan to
39:05
russ common stretch about this man. Yeah, they and themselves are a phantom
39:09
menace the middle y. Yes, okay, So he lives in West Harlem
39:15
and he normally gets his news from the New York Times, Daily Mail,
39:21
Fox News and MSNBC. Now I don't know much about those particular outlets.
39:27
I know the New York Times is a little bit, as I understand it
39:30
to be a little bit hoiy toyty. So that'd be the kind of thing,
39:31
Tom, if someone's to ask you where you got your news from,
39:34
you'd probably go, oh, the Irish Independent, even if you never read
39:37
news in your life, just because you don't want to just say ce facts.
39:42
You know, you don't want to turn around and go like, well,
39:44
I tell you one thing now, if one in the Beano, I
39:46
am unlikely to have seen it. Okay, I get my news from doors
39:51
Comms. You know who I am. It was VIZ. I watched it,
39:54
but it's not on the back pages of VIZ. Then I'm not interested.
39:58
But my man, he said, the New York Times, Day,
40:00
Early Mail, Fox News and MSNBC. That's just like someone shouted at him,
40:02
like, you know him, five things and better gun of news,
40:07
isn't it right? That's every kind of sure. Look good rough the Cavin
40:14
people down to the Tipperary Star. You know yourself. Because I couldn't narrow
40:17
it down to one news outlet that he says, Fox News. Tom,
40:21
though, if he says Fox News, I have a feeling that maybe he
40:23
would watch Fox News, like that's the truth in the middle of it all.
40:28
I reckon the rest are like, oh, I get fancy news,
40:30
but like my real news is yeah, I read I read the Star,
40:32
you know what I mean? So yeah, and Fox News, as we
40:35
said before, not for nothing. Tom is a little bit right, the
40:39
right lean and all that kind of okay, it's a little bit God,
40:42
guns and Trump. So if he says he gets his news from Fox News,
40:45
I'm thinking Catholic. Oh for sure he is, Like sure, maybe
40:51
not practicing, but definitely raised. But I don't think that helps us narrowish
40:53
then, I mean, yeah, it's like, well he's Italian, possibly
40:59
Catholic. Yeah yeah, so okay, so a Catholic And where else is
41:05
he from? Tom? In his spare time, he said, he enjoys
41:09
doing you set it up top out doors, anything outdoorsy. That's great culture
41:15
to me, buddy, He's Colchi for sure. Now you do you do
41:17
get the odds South Dublin or alright, you know they've bought a hatchet and
41:22
a tent and they do like to go up to the Great Mountains, you
41:24
know what I mean they you know, yeah, but they'll tell you exactly
41:28
what they're doing. They don't do something outdoorsy. They'll say, oh I
41:31
go camping. Yeah yeah, yeah, yes, it's got a title.
41:37
Okay, yeah, yeah, but this guy likes doing anything outdoorsy and he
41:40
lives in Manhattan. Ship choice. If you like doing outdoorsy stuff, unless
41:45
outdoors he involves a lot of concrete, then you're in business. But when
41:47
you're elected, you can't drive a tent big into a football tried. So
41:54
outdoors yeah, he's definitely okay, yeah, he's a culture like he is
41:58
a culture. He is a culture. He's an Irish Catholic culture who works
42:02
as I'm going to give him a manager in a cricket wireless shop. Okay,
42:09
yeah, okay, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. And I think if
42:12
I think, if we have that triangulated enough, then you throw in a
42:15
backpack. Now that they said the color of the backpack time, I swear
42:17
to god we would have got this by I'd love to know if there's a
42:22
backpack, you know, from a county team at home or do you know
42:23
what I can guarantee you what it is. Tom. It's a backpack from
42:28
Kellogg's cool Caps. Yeah, he has it this ten or fifteen years.
42:34
You come through that. That's a good bag. Well the game with me
42:37
and nothing. I stitched to three to guarantee it's a bag like Trigger's brush,
42:42
you know what I mean. I put two news straps on it,
42:45
four new zips, a new front. And you know you asked me what
42:47
he's carrying around the time. He's carrying his lunch for sure. Yeah,
42:52
I guarantee you wrapped in the wrapper of the bread. What's he what's he
42:55
bringing that he can't fix? Anate like he's not going to work, do
42:59
you know what I mean? But he's the kind of he's bringing the lunch
43:02
he's bringing. Look, I'm bringing the lunch. I'm not gonna I'm not
43:05
going to pay five dollars for a bagel. Sure, going to bring a
43:07
bagel from the house, Okay, okay, County Hill. There's something there's
43:15
something borderers about it. From there. He was going to say, I
43:17
know, I think he's loud. I think he's loud or someplace like that.
43:22
Yeah, we're getting there's something about the packed lunch. Would he be
43:27
North Langford? Maybe there's nothing. There's nothing that says south or indeed southeast
43:31
to me. No, no, no, no, these are the He's
43:35
in the shoulders of the country. He knows the s Melatorphy, you know
43:38
what I mean, he knows I ween around at the corner like any I
43:44
don't think he was even wearing the T shirt to be ironic, you know
43:45
what I mean. I think he was just wearing a T shirt because it
43:49
wasn't roast and he possibly had a jumper in the bag. He had the
43:52
jumper in the bag with the sandwiches, is right, Yeah, And he
43:54
was practical, practical man. Well that's why you got to be Durre number
43:59
one. Yeah. You have to look at that too. He's no doll
44:01
like you know what I mean. Okay, this fell is licking windows for
44:06
a living like he's no, he's he's got his head on his shoulders and
44:09
he knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta tell you, Tom,
44:14
you know what he is. Now he's he's let me think. Now,
44:17
I'm gonna say his name is James Riley. I'm not gonna argue that
44:23
James Riley north Long from Cavin I'd say even glass and kind of that direction,
44:30
you know what I mean, like Cavin Langford Border, Yeah, all
44:34
the way for himself in New York. But wouldn't be in a hurry home
44:37
either, because you know, you're not non transferable skills like and all the
44:42
rest of it. Yeah maybe Yeah, probably has a hint of an American
44:45
accent when he needs to. He went over with the woman that he's still
44:50
with now. No, she'd have made him put a short time a very
44:54
good point, very good. She'd made him put a short time, Jered.
44:57
For God's sake, she would because she would know there's going to be
45:00
But I gotta tell you then, not for nothing here Now where we could
45:04
we could drill this man. Then we could find this man's dental records before
45:07
this podcast goes out, Tom, But we can't spend the whole night looking
45:09
at Here's the thing. We wish Duror B four hundred all the best.
45:15
We know he's a market he's not some throut mall just wandering around the place.
45:19
Now he's going places, and we wish him all the best with his
45:22
red, with his future endeavors. I look forward to reading the book,
45:27
you know, and I look forward to seeing him in the artist sketch of
45:31
him standing up. I'm gonna look at this will be the first time you
45:34
look at an artist sketch. Go I can't I can't wait to see him
45:39
on the Late Late. That's it. He's going to be on the Late
45:42
Late for sure. He is like yeah, yeah, how he's gonna say
45:45
yeah exactly, Tom, How he's gonna sit still in the in the juror
45:50
of twelve with all that pressure on him. Irish people can't sit still in
45:53
the audience of the Late Late without looking at the camera and winking. I
45:57
mean, did I know that Trump ownes a bunch of real state and golf
46:00
course and places that people have gotten married and a great experience that in Ireland.
46:05
A wonderful point, Tom, A wonderful point. If this young man,
46:08
James Riley from Cavin, as we've decided, if he was from Claire
46:14
or anywhere like that, he would be ineligible for it because Trump has business
46:16
interests in the area. Yes, he's not in Claire and Trump is where's
46:22
the other place Trump is? Oh? No, he's doing one in Scotland.
46:24
A friend of mine is actually has landed the contractor building the golf course.
46:30
Yeah, he built the other one in in in watching more than happy
46:34
to take it. And here's the thing he did load of Cavin LED's working
46:37
for him as well. So it's all it's all a matter, it's all
46:39
coming around. It's all coming around. But listen, we wish him all
46:43
the best. Ladies and gentlemen. If you know who your r B four
46:45
hundred is, probably don't tell us in the comments because I'm fairly certain that's
46:49
illegal. Taken up. That's oh, it is actually loudier, It is
46:58
definitely illegal. Yeah, yeah, Like we don't want, we don't want
47:00
the trial of the century of one of the most famous faces on planet Earth
47:06
to be thrown out of court because of this podcast. Yeah, then again,
47:12
I think it couldn't hurt our numbers time I will. I'm just saying,
47:15
yeah, yeah, yeah, couldn't hurt our numbers. All right,
47:19
Well, listen, let's wrap it up. Tom. I swear to God
47:22
you and I can even discuss controversial former President Donald Trump without things breaking down
47:28
into a rise. So I think on the home stretch we're going to wrap
47:30
it up with that and get out of here before we start a fighting,
47:34
rather than doing that. I think we should still at the same time have
47:37
a row, don't stop, whether we row with each other or rout with
47:45
the public, a rout with whatever God you believe in. I think we
47:49
should still we haven't. That wasn't the controversial enough subject, Jerry, I
47:52
don't think. No, no, no, here's here's one that might be.
47:55
Tom. Like you know, we're playing around with the format of the
47:58
Tom and Jerry Show. Normally we have a round podcast and then asked to
48:00
find people of the Tom and Jerry audience what they think who saided in land
48:04
And we did a little bit different this time. Tom. We asked them
48:07
what to think about it, and we're going to go through it a little
48:08
bit here. Yes, the subject for discussion this week, Tom is what
48:13
side do you want? And we're, as we said, we're not overly
48:16
political people. In fact, we're under politically people. If that's because there's
48:21
no crack, I'm done right ignorant. What there is a side to items
48:27
of furniture more than anything around the house. Yes, indeed, yes,
48:30
indeed, Tom, I'm gonna ask you straight because we don't we don't really
48:32
prep shag all of this, To be honest with you no, Tom,
48:37
do you have a seat in your house that's your seat currently? No?
48:46
And I would say I'm not too. I don't think there was a four
48:51
of us growing up. And I was never prey and it was I'm never
48:55
precious about it. And this is you know what this is? Now?
48:58
This is me going against the system. Then again, like I was talking
49:01
about going to eminem and because everybody else was going one way, of course,
49:05
my brain was going, we'll go the other way. And it jars
49:07
with me. Sometimes I get offered the head of the table when I go
49:10
to visit houses sometimes, right, I do. I get offered it all
49:14
the time, like all the time, like a fucking dinner party in the
49:16
places, but I do. I don't know why, but I get offered
49:21
it. And I had it. It was all my I had one end
49:22
of the table the father and the other and I was okay with it as
49:25
a child, but it's in mine. I try to be as non cliche
49:30
as possible, so I just gladly just sit wherever right. I try not
49:36
to get precious and because I know what happens, Jerry, I have an
49:38
addictive personality. If I let anything in the door that I have to mean
49:45
to myself all the time, Jerry, because if I let one thing in
49:47
the door that massages my ego for myself, I'll want everything for me.
49:52
Yes, I will, and I will lose my mind if you sit on
49:57
my spot. So I try to just go I'm not a spot. I
50:00
have no spot. Now. We're we're in the current process of building during
50:05
the yes, and there are certain spots. There are certain rules that I
50:09
know will imply because this office that I'm in right now, this is a
50:13
sanctuary. Even the boy, Yes, the boy will stand at the door
50:15
and go, can I come in? The door open? He knows,
50:20
almost like a lad that's a flat now, almost like a vampire. Stand
50:22
at the door, the threasholdier door, and you have your hand on the
50:25
foot hand door, Fraim, and you go, sorry, you can't come
50:29
in. He can't come in. And the the same as that, because
50:30
you'll come in and he'll rule through whatever, only for that. So this
50:35
is this is Dad's spot. Yeah, right here where I am right now,
50:39
Yeah, this is my spot. Other than that same same with me
50:42
in the office here and now kids need a good reason to come in here.
50:45
But I'm not not just necessarily talking about rooms, Tom and this debit
50:49
comes from like I had a crack with some friends in the podcast ah about
50:55
the side of the sofa you sit on and do you have your side of
50:58
the sofa like me and my wife I have very definite sides of the sofa.
51:00
It just came up in conversation. I was talking about my dog,
51:04
who thinks he's smart. We send him to bed every night, but when
51:07
we go up to we go upstairs a minute, he gets us out,
51:09
he jumps up on the sofa and he always stays on my wife's side of
51:13
the sofa. And you can tell because it's getting frayed and it's getting You
51:17
can tell them because when you come down in the morning and put your hand
51:21
is warm, it's clearly been an animal sleeping on it. All that your
51:22
wife's nails are not that sharp in all fair and she scratching it exactly.
51:30
And I said this, and everybody's like, what do you mean your wife's
51:32
side of the sofa? I was like, what do you mean? Like
51:36
she has her sight of the sofa and I have my set of the sofa.
51:37
They were like, no, no, no, no, no,
51:39
sofa is sofa. You just come down to sit wherever the hell you want.
51:44
And that was chaos to me, Tom, that's madness. That's madness
51:49
right there. Yeah, I'm not gonna row with you on that one.
51:51
And now that you're saying on that right now, you're just saying it out
51:54
louder and to me, I we do have direct the place here, but
51:59
we do actually have our our Yeah, we do actually, And I don't
52:04
know why. It's to tell you square on in front of the tub gets
52:07
a better look than the other. I can tell you where we're banging on
52:10
to the TV. But the reason why I sit to the right is that
52:15
I will use stage right, stage left. Are you audience left? I'm
52:20
audience right, okay, okay? Is she to your right hand side?
52:29
Left? Okay? Right? And okay? And the reason for that is
52:35
the reason for that's very simple. I play a bunch of computer games,
52:38
and when I have the thing in my hand, I like to lean to
52:40
my right so that my right arm is on the the arm resting. And
52:49
that's just how I'm naturally comfortable. Leaning on the left not quite so comfortable.
52:52
And I don't collect sonic doesn't collect all those rings, and it's it's
52:55
it's a dreadful that doesn't happen. And and she sits on the other side
53:00
because she has never expressed the preference one way or another. Doesn't care.
53:07
Yeah yeah, and the dog likes my spot for some reason. But we
53:10
since then. But you know those fireguard things that you would, I say,
53:15
bought it for this. It was actually not needed anymore for when you
53:19
have a baby and you put a fire yah yah yeah eight. Well that
53:22
was folded up, hidden away, and I went, do you know what
53:24
we'll do. Let's repurpose that. They can put it around the dog.
53:29
The dog has plenty of space from the door to her bed and that's it.
53:32
Now she sticks her nose through for hours on end going. I would
53:36
love to sit on that seat if you wouldn't mind me. Yeah, I'm
53:37
sure you would. Yeah, but that fox on your neck is is not
53:42
making its way over here, thank you very much. Yeah, exactly.
53:44
So that's that's that's that's sofa and like, you know, like and people
53:47
looked at me kind of silly, like, why you're picking a side of
53:50
the sofa. My retort of that, as Thomas, you do you pick
53:52
a side of the bed. I'm sure you have your side of the bed.
53:53
I got my side of the bed, the same side of the bed
53:57
for twenty years now. You have how many houses have you moved with since
54:02
with your current partner, with my current partner, with my current partner of
54:08
McBride Associates free right, and I have and I have, yes, I
54:15
have had. I have the same side of the bed, but same side,
54:17
same side as what like what are you relevant to? Are you?
54:21
Is mekea near you? Are you? Are you juice out? Are you
54:24
relative relative to the relative to the headboard. I get what you're saying,
54:29
Like, it's not like I'm lying on the side that's closest to the door
54:30
so I can protect the house or I can be the first man out of
54:34
it in the case of an emergency, or first man to tackle a burgler
54:37
or anything like that. I'm not, you know, purposefully closest to the
54:43
window so I can say the first rays of the sun shine through. I'm
54:46
just like where I am because that's where I would naturally lie, and like
54:51
startups, so it's it's not it's not rooted in some deep like keep in
54:55
mind and the the the animal skin tent front from would be saber tooth tiger
55:01
sticking the fucking head through the door. No, no, no, no,
55:05
it's just that's my side. And I have carried that theory throughout the
55:08
house, to the sofa, to the kitchen table. I've got my seat
55:10
at the kitchen table. Okay, so it's not the head of the table,
55:15
because it's a round the table. It's just that's my seat, and
55:17
don't sit on that. I'll have words which you if you do, or
55:22
your guest in the house, and I see you sitting at my seat,
55:25
I'm gonna get sore about it. The only time I was ever precious about
55:30
that's mine around the house was I had a plate as a child, and
55:36
I didn't care if they brought out the good stuff that the Royal Dulton or
55:40
whatever it was called a Christmas or the willow patterns at Christmas. I didn't
55:45
care. My plate was my plate, and there was a reason for your
55:50
I ate two dinners up until I was about twenty four years of age at
55:53
the same time, So what your average person would eat, I would eat
55:57
two times that. And this plate not even fully short. It was a
56:00
placher. I think it might have been a keych dish. It had sides
56:05
on it, silence thinking I'm just talking to Alan Partridge over here. He's
56:09
got to scangaling with a big plate. Lynn, Not now, I would,
56:17
yeah, I would. Just it was a plate. It was fourteen
56:20
inches across in diameter and flat and two and it had a It had an
56:25
edge that was up at a forty five degree angle. We could heap on
56:30
heap on a cast roll dish on. It was a cast roll dish chair.
56:32
I was, yeah, I had worms or something because I wasn't putting
56:37
on other than the way I that was needed. I wasn't. I just
56:43
ate like a freak. And it started to thankfully, you know, you
56:47
know, peter off through my twenties and into my thorities. But this plate,
56:51
this plate came with me to college. I had it all through from
56:53
about fourteen to the age of about twenty six to twenty seven. And you
56:58
know, you're talking about losing things. That plate never. I don't know
57:00
what they fired it in and what killing in Mount Doom they fired that thing
57:06
in, But that had hit more like that. It hit every sort of
57:10
a service from from liscanner flagstones to actually falling outside on stones, and it
57:16
never broke never chipped, never nothing, I think to a stolen ameter.
57:21
I don't think I lost that. I mean I moved a few plates,
57:23
taking away from you for your own good, Tom, because they're eating out
57:27
of what if I'm reading your description right, is a bucket? Tom,
57:31
you're sitting there eating. Oh I'm eating I mean two dinners out of a
57:35
goddamn the cruise a dish. It was a boat. Yeah, it was
57:37
a bucket without the handles. That was about it. I was just a
57:40
calven bucket, like a bucket the calves would eat notes out of. That's
57:44
essentially what I was eating. And that was the only thing I can remember
57:45
that was minish mine. I never got a I wouldn't stand over somebody at
57:52
the dinner table like as they're sitting on my seat, going, Well,
57:54
here we go, Tom, here's what we're gonna do here, buddy.
57:57
We are going to delve into the Tom and Jerry social media feed to see
58:01
what people had to say about these things. Okay, names change to protect
58:06
the innocent about that, Okay, all right? So I asked, like,
58:09
do you have your side your seat? Tom? Are you hot desking
58:13
in your own house? I don't know if you've ever worked in an office
58:15
that hot desks I have, Tom. It doesn't go down well with me
58:20
when you come in in the morning, you go to sit at your seat
58:22
and and there's someone out and you can't really give out about it, can't.
58:27
I can't do it. Yes. Indeed, we have one comment here,
58:30
Tom that says they always sit on the left. They always sit on
58:35
his left because they're right handed and their partner is left handed. But then
58:40
they want to say that it's annoying that they should be sitting on the right,
58:45
but whatever way it bounces, they end up on the left. It
58:47
must be it must be a remote thing, because you're going to use the
58:51
remote in your free flopping around hand, not your leanings. It's madness to
58:54
me because if you're right handed and your partner is left handed and swap around
59:00
because you're lying on your left arm on the Jerry Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,
59:04
you're trying to put sense to scenario where you go. It is what
59:07
it is, Tom, when you told me your side of the bed.
59:10
You can't you can't start now to put poking at the listeners and going,
59:14
oh, come on with some reasoning here when you have none whatsoever. This
59:19
is true. You have no reasoning based, no reasoning based whatsoever. You're
59:23
just you're You're not lying, Tom, You're not lying, buddy. I
59:28
never said this was a this was I'd be honest with you. I sometimes
59:32
I when I get asked questions like this, I lie to not sound shallow
59:37
or not sound stripped like this. This has been again. I've been asked
59:45
like an album like Maria. I get angry, like, just go.
59:49
Now. What you'll find is the left is close to the door, and
59:53
I have to protect the woman, and and I don't. It's what look
59:59
at then I said, I said that, Yeah, I said, on
1:00:01
the left because of the draft out of the window on earth. I don't
1:00:06
have that reason. I don't even have that reason. We have another lady
1:00:08
here, and I've never seen a more truer thing written down here that she
1:00:10
claims to have the side of the bed, see it on the sofa chair
1:00:14
at the table, everyone in their place, and the place for everyone,
1:00:15
Tom. And then she seals this with the truest thing I've ever heard in
1:00:19
my life. Even if you're the only one in the house, even if
1:00:23
everybody else is away, even if you have the house all to yourself.
1:00:28
You still sit on your side of the sofa. I think your your I
1:00:31
think yeah, I think your our snows our scoowedness has to our screwvedness has
1:00:37
to play a lot into it. Ah, you're our snows jar. I'm
1:00:39
telling you now, you know what they're talking about the big thing at the
1:00:43
minute. And my sister is a big proponent of this. She's with a
1:00:46
doctor of this kind of stuff. But got health and you're good biome it's
1:00:50
on everything. There's got biome stuff inside your shreddies. There isn't enough discussion
1:00:55
about the intuitiveness of your urs. I'm telling you now, you could damn
1:01:00
near drive a car with your arse. Say if you could master the arse
1:01:05
and Jerry, there isn't enough. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna put that
1:01:10
out of the Tom and Jerry listeners. Have you mastered the art when the
1:01:13
comments and I'm serious, you could you could nearly drive a car with your
1:01:16
arse like it's your your arse knows, do you know? Like there's you'll
1:01:21
find fellows you're always you can train sheep dogs to sniff if the cows pregnant
1:01:25
or what you know? Yeah, I reckon the same thing could be like
1:01:30
they you know, you could go, you know, you go to these
1:01:31
faith he alerts, like and you go when my back is broken, And
1:01:35
well, well look at I'll rub this duck leaf over my own eyebrows,
1:01:38
and I'll sniff your bones back together. And you have to believe that because
1:01:42
it helped the man once in nineteen twenty eight. And yes, I reckon
1:01:45
though, we can make a clean fortune by having intuitive arses and people coming
1:01:52
to our clinic. Do you think that, like, you know how you
1:01:54
do reflexology on the foot, you could do some sort of arse solid g
1:02:00
on the arse, no using your using my arse. My arse is very
1:02:04
intuitive. Like if I sit on a seat, I know if somebody's been
1:02:07
sitting on my seat. There's the thing, now, would you know without
1:02:09
feeling it, would you know if somebody had sat on your seat? Somebody
1:02:13
would need to say an odd shaped arse to yours, because everybody's art is
1:02:16
different. It's like the fingerprints of the gods. I think I heard that
1:02:22
on Inspector Morse one time. All right, well then, actually funny to
1:02:29
say time that brings us to our last comedy. We had a couple of
1:02:30
here, I'm just picking out some of the ones here. The last comment
1:02:35
comes from a mobile beauty text. So someone that goes house to house door
1:02:37
door, not door door, but like house to house with clients and and
1:02:40
and whatnot. And when they go to someone else's house, they still have
1:02:46
to seat, They still have to sit in what is quote unquote their seat.
1:02:51
So if I go to your house time that means I'm sitting on the
1:02:53
right hand side of your sofa. You be damned, because at home,
1:02:57
that's that's that. I think there might be a bridge to far that's taking
1:03:00
your preferences into a second location. All now, Jesus, I cannot have
1:03:06
the home field advantage in some other man's home. No, I think that
1:03:08
that's a But even that aside, I don't think i'd be overly because you're
1:03:13
you're not You're never going to be one hundred percent comfortable to be sitting anyway
1:03:15
if you just went mop out of that there. I normally sit in the
1:03:19
left yeah yeah, yeah, you know, like and then you sit down
1:03:22
when you sit there and you go this is nothing like myself at home.
1:03:25
This is dreadfully uncomfortable. I think your average walking around human knows that they'll
1:03:30
be all right wherever they say, it's never going to be like where and
1:03:34
you your ship is not that your arse is not going to be in that
1:03:37
seat. Just you need a good month for your your your sofa to meet
1:03:42
your arse. Like there's a long process there. You've got to it's almost
1:03:45
like bringing the new dog into the house. Like you've got to bring the
1:03:47
sofa up the road to meet you first and a neutral, neutral ground.
1:03:52
Yeah, and bring it bit by bit, bring it down the road so
1:03:55
that the you, your arse and the sofa and make good friends so that
1:04:00
they don't want on each other. And then that's yours and then that's your
1:04:02
side of the sofa and that's it. And guys, if you disagree with

right now. How do you feel about that time? Well, it's only
1:04:15
worth that I'm off to have a look at my arse. To be honestly,
1:04:18
I think it's I haven't appreciated enough. I just came out. I
1:04:23
just just came to the florfest there. I think that was my I was
1:04:26
talking out my arts for a good five minute solid there to be fair.
