Speaker 1: Well, hello, what some momentous week it's been. The Lads
hit one hundred episodes. Another group, the Lads said to
the Moon and I get myself on rand new set
of ladders. Tremendous stuff. In this week's episode, the boys
celebrate one of the greatest men to ever raise a
glass one hundred and seventeen if you don't mind. They
talk about the Chapster head to the Moon and of
course explained podcasting. I for one, I'm still not very
sure what it is. Well, I'm sure you'll enjoy the episode.
Congratulations boys, I'll see.
Speaker 2: Thee looks like we're meeting.
Speaker 3: Look after from ladies and gentlemen. You are welcome to
episode one hundred of the Tom and Jerry Show. I'm
Jerry McBride. That's Tom. O'manny over there. One hundred, Tom,
What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: Take it? Yeah? I mean.
Speaker 3: What the number one?
Speaker 1: The number one hundred is not a job, but I'd
say we're closer to two hundred.
Speaker 3: In the.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, yeah, there's a we're actually one hundred and
eighty six episodes in for the purposes of this bitch. Yeah,
I know, I shouldn't have shipp all over that. Yes, it's
lovely to hit one hundred. I do you know what,
I've actually proper continuous one season one fucking you know
what I mean, Like we're we're like went on for
what's gone on for a Carnation Street at this stage.
Now this is our Carnation Street run. So we're nearly
we're coming up on two years of straight run, a
straight run, and it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: In the Simpson's podcast and Tom.
Speaker 1: Even in this iteration too, we were weave more than
one hundred, haven't we? Because we've got a couple of
specials in there, like a couple of straight over here
and there, a couple of Watchman calls. People have actually
messaged me and I needed to get back to them.
They want to they couldn't find or maybe it's just
to pain your whole to wind back the clock too.
But I may throw them up midweek or over a
weekend or something. The women of specials we had with
guests their worst guest. Yes, yes, yeah, so we will
throw them up sporadically.
Speaker 3: Just we will throw them up behind a Patreon paywork,
you know what, I want to hear them that bad.
They can throw fifty cent for them that much.
Speaker 1: There's an absolute a couple of crackers in there. But yeah,
I tell you how I am now there. I'm excited
to get get one hundred underway.
Speaker 4: But I made the.
Speaker 1: Vast, vastly miscalculated step this weekend. No eye protection mind.
I sent Jerry on a picture of yeah to buy
learning how to power wash with an extremely fucking powerful
powerash from his grandfather. Who if you think I don't
understand the two words help and safety going together, that
man doesn't even know those two words exist. And I
said to that Jerry, thinking that's a cute the video,
and his immediate think was three generations, not one of
you fuckers, whereas Calculus.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, Tom unbelievable. There's Tom and and we man and
not a goggle between them and not for nothing as well.
I shared it on the Instagram. But Tom has a
racket Gogglet's.
Speaker 1: When you're tidy up the carriage and you find a
fucking I've found four phase testers, jar who.
Speaker 3: Needs four face when it was the last time you
tested a phase, buddy.
Speaker 1: But I made a drastic mistake. Aside from getting the
garage in order, which I'm very very happy with, it's
a proper workshop now getting the young flap power washing.
Speaker 4: I did him terrible, terrible danger. I agreed to allow
a trampoline to come onto the property.
Speaker 3: Well do you know what I'm going to tell you, Tom,
sunrise sunset, I got rid of my trampoline at the
weekend go away? Yeah yeah, else swashing underneath the tram
That was Jesus you found Trevor Jordas there. If I
do that, you get a trampoline.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there was a fox looking through the
headship me going that looks like a nice shitting spot.
But no, it was all good until I I all
day long, I'm walking over back, like I said, I'm
making a long weekend off and I'm off again tomorrow.
I will record, don't you? I said, No, I'm not
going on Jesus Christ. I'm old and brittle like my
bottom half. My joints are fused now, are.
Speaker 3: Weary, my knees a nackered, my oh, my teeth rolled
and cry and.
Speaker 1: I agreed. I jumped in and turned into ten year
old Tom again, started doing backflips, store a lot of
bouncing off my arse chair. My fucking nose hair is hurt.
Oh yeah, No, Yeah, I'm I'm after cranking every fucking
body part.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here now just going hopefully Jerry will have
some sort of morphine chat he can just get across
from me here because I'm in ribbons, I mean fucking ribbons.
Speaker 3: Terrible mistake, a dragonful mistake, Tom. And all I can
say is, don't clue the game, pal, because it don't
get no easier. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 4: Don't think I'll physically get up the ladder to do
it again.
Speaker 3: Do you know the The last time I got on
the trampoline with the kids was last year, and I
bounced with them for a little while. And there's a
there's as your children will get older to them and
they get a little bit bigger, you lose sync with
the bounce yea. And there is a there's a point
where a trampoline where if someone is at like maximum
down and they go start to bounce up as you
come down, and you meet the canvas as it comes
to meet.
Speaker 1: You, and it blows in Eastronda.
Speaker 3: It's like hitting the er. Yeah yeah, And I was
doing that with Queen Man last year and he was
on a. He was bouncing on a different sink than me,
and you only need to be three or four inches out,
and I just I just hit it, and I could
hear all the bones in my spine. It was technic
wed and so it was just like just you can
just hear them just like impact each other, just all
the way up and and like ha ha. It took
me six weeks to walk right again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my two hips are busted. Fucking I'm pretty sure
this is We're not so old that we should be
this broke up, but we are this broke up. And
there's a pilates teacher down the road like you should
come down to some men's class.
Speaker 4: I'm like I will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I may have to now, Yeah, if
I have any hope of survival here now, I think
I may have to just start doing some extracurricular fucking activities.
I'm gonna wear liker though, I don't care. I'm I'm
all in, I'm all injured.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly baby. Well,
let's not tell you. Let's see what we can do.
I don't got no ural morphine for you, but you
might have some for me, because We're gonna jump onto
the show itself. We've got a great show here today, folks,
take my word for that's Tom. He'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Don Rickles moved there like that.
Speaker 3: There you go. Yeah, we all means ask him. We
are going to rock on with a very special edition
of The Tom and Jerry Show. Just nothing but net
this week. Great stories to talk about, particularly the news
this week, which is Tom is going to take us
through in a segment we call the Weekly What have You.
This is a very complicated case, mod you know, a
lot of ian's, a lot of outs, a lot of
what have you, and uh, a lot of strands to
keep in my head. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean we could have we could have been rude
and said, well, we're the weekly what.
Speaker 3: Have you this week?
Speaker 1: But you know what we're not. We're here for the people,
not for ourselves. We learned that a long time ago,
that you know, we'll only talk about ourselves for a
certain amount of time and people switch off. But we
the big news this week. But there's no but the big, good,
good crack news this week, which I suppose is kind
of ournic given how much fuel it took to fucking
do it, given the crisis. That's going to moted just
saying that, I hope you bought that ship, you know,
a couple of months by. But NASA's first crude mission
to the Moon in over fifty years Artemists the years
Artemist two is gone off to as a test flight
more or less for Artemis three, don't you know, has
headed off a couple of days ago on a ten
day spin around the old Moon, like in the same
way you go do the ring and kerry, you know
that kind of way. It's a track, it's a trick,
like it is they're going to spin off from star Trek.
Some might say is Captain's log. I never saw the log.
Didn't know what any star logs will be doing on
a fucking on the spaceship. But who am I? I know,
rocket sergeant.
Speaker 3: But as we as we recorded now we're recording on
the Tuesday of the bank call of the weekend, they
have cycled the Moon. They've gone around the far side
of the dark side.
Speaker 1: Of the Knock side of the Moon where all.
Speaker 3: The Nazis have their pyramids built, and they've looped around
and all going according to plan. When this episode drops
on Thursday, they will have arrived home safe and sound,
or they'll at least not have exploded in space. Although,
mind you, with the other rockets that the US are
about to launch now, given that we're recording this at
eight o'clock on a Tuesday, ah, this is the only
good rocket that the United States has launched in the
last two weeks. So maybe you'll be listening to the
Tom and Jerry Show in a fucking fallout shelter. We
genuinely can't say at this stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to be a point, do you think
with the leads and artemists to go, dear we leave?
Speaker 4: I was still up here a little bit.
Speaker 1: How much crisps do we have for another few weeks
up here? I will just stay up here until we
have to head back, because in all fairness, you go
let that all fucking die down now.
Speaker 4: I can't be dealing with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go on, I'm just gonna like, did you ever
get to work Tom in the morning and just like
sit in the car for an extra five minutes?
Speaker 1: Jerry? There was a point there for a brief period
where I worked in an office environment and there wasn't
one single morning in the six months I worked for
that company where I didn't sit in the corner of
my company for focus and think about sticking a lid
rag into tank. Just floor on it. See how far
into the building I'll get every morning, every fucking mor oh,
and I vibrating inside my fucking call. I'm gonna fucking
kill everybody I worked with.
Speaker 3: Well, Tom the Moon, I want to ask you. Now,
we have kids. We mentioned them from time to time,
and there are various things that young men, young boys
will will will spend all their chips on, so to speak.
For they'll cash in all their tokens for certain things.
In my house, my wee man cash in all his
tokens on trains. You're we man, I believe, cashed heavily
in on dinosaurs and and dragons. Yeahs, we don't have
a space explorer in our house, do.
Speaker 1: You No, couldn't give a bolic sellice. Really, I suppose
it's he's into the fantastical notion of space, so he'd
watch a bit of the our Levatar lads for a
while and then he but unless there's fucking monsters involved here,
he don't want to know.
Speaker 3: Exactly same same same over here. Now we uh you know,
they're like, oh, do you want to look at the
telescope or look at it for some My wee man,
for some reason when he was five, took a notion
to learn all the planets, including the dwarf planets, which
is Mackie mackei in series and all these Oh yeah, yeah,
we didn't know Tom what the fuck he was talking about, yes,
because it's like the dwarf planet, Mickie Mackey. I'm like,
come on, kid, what's going on here. Come to find out,
he was one hundred percent right, But he never really
launched it because I was going to takehim up to
the planetarium and our man all this kind of crack. Oh,
he'd so we don't really have any moon fascinations. And
I'm gonna tell you, Tom, I wasn't all that fascinated
with moon travel back in the day, not going to
go all we remember when on it or anything like that.
But it confused the hell out of me to learn
that the United States went to the Minion like four
or five times in an intense period back in the
late sixties early seventies and then just never went again.
I was concerned that we're up and down there if
you have an hour.
Speaker 1: That was what like I couldn't. I couldn't wrap a
head around that. Like they had the man one obviously,
the very first man one. Do you know, Yes, Stanley
Kubrick was involved in the he was, he was involved
in the editing of it and whatnot and how he
should should be villained and stuff like that. But anyway,
for the argument of the of the show about eleven
in nineteen sixty nine, of course, was Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin left Michael Collins up in the ship though
never was a fan of Alack. As in the market
words of pack McDonald. Of course, the two brothers would
do that to.
Speaker 3: Never not at it, never not at it.
Speaker 1: But and they landed. They seemed to throw all sorts
of yokies up there, from rovers to this thing into
that thing, but they never seemed to I could never.
I would like yourself. I was one hundred percent sure
that Jesus Christ would have a bit of a base
built that that by now there'd be some sort of
a base built up there, you know what I mean,
bolted down if you fucking Steve Beams and Steve Collums
get shade going, if you had a guest.
Speaker 3: House Tom down and Coraclow Beach or something like that.
You'd leave in television, then you would this is exactly
it not it up and down every time you enter.
Speaker 1: Now, there was a few like there was you know,
there was there was a few that the likes of
the Soviets were pushing them heavy and stuff like that.
But it seemed to be that it was I don't know,
was it that did Could they not root around and
finding money down the back of the I guess the war,
the defense fucking package and whatnot. Would you have not
set up some sort of laser on the Moon? I
don't know. I was fully sure they would at this stage,
because the whole notion was that the Moon itself what
would have been perfect for setting up a giant laser
in invert commas, some sort of radio ra one would say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but it isn't it. It would have seemed not. So
there are the plan is to go back and this
one is This one basically is a loot what they're
calling a lunor flyby. So there'll be five or four
thousand mile miles above the surface of the surface of
the Moon, so not exactly clipping it, if you know
what I mean. About the same distance from here to
New York there thereabouts, which.
Speaker 3: You know, as closer than I am to it right now, Tom.
But at the same time, it's quite a peg.
Speaker 1: It's a clip. It's a clip. So they're going to
go around to take some photies on all the rest
and apparently they are doing some experiments kind of see
they're testing new new gear. I mean, it's a bit.
It's cool to be the the you know, the the
astronauts that are gone up with it all, but really
are being told look at and run the gear hard
for the bye for the real lads coming up next,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And honestly, that's what it is. It's a WRECKI is
what it is.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: And I was kind of dismissive of I'm like, well,
the moon's the moon, lads, like you know, ever and
that you saw last time is still there by and
large largely unchanged. But I suppose, as you say yourself,
they've got new gear. Last time they were up there,
like hey Collins, point the radio mcgraham outside the window
there and see if you can get a frost pass
of the moon. And now it's like, actually, no, we've
got like specific high definition four K thing. But it's
still just rocks and sand, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to take so many conspiracy theorist,
there's a face on the moon, you know, there's there's
pyramidic there. There does seem to be some right angle
shaped things, which by the way, can absolutely happen naturally
in geo formations. People get so excited they're like, but
there are angles, Like, yeah, if you put a fucking
piece of quartz under native microscope, you're going to see
all sorts of right angles and angles Undernate that too.
I'm not saying that there are aren't pyramids and that
natzis riding around on the back of t rex is
up there. I'm not saying they're not. But these lads
will come be back down by by April seventh, plea God.
But they think they're one of the big things they're
testing up there is like creature comforts because the next
one art was three I'm guessing will be going up
for a while because they're probably looking, let's be honest,
they're looking for real estature. If it's if it's Americans,
they're looking to put up a base and.
Speaker 3: May they're gonna go with them.
Speaker 1: They're testing live sports systems and creature comforts in the
style of the new, the new and improved on board
toilet that they have. It's the first everyone that's properly
I'm supposed to be using a bit of an happy
for the long distance ones. Up until now, you know,
they likes any lunar mission up until now. Yeah, no,
I guess there was not a piper or whatever.
Speaker 3: But you know, the funny thing about it is like
the very earliest people that would orbit the Earth and
this kind of crack like just one orbit of the
Earth and back down again. That seems like a month
long sort of thing. Few hours blast them up into
this guy. He goes around the world in you know,
less than a day and he comes down. How did
he do for a toilet? I think they were just
told Era fucking Holder. Yeah, yeah, go before you go, go,
before you get on the rocket. You'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Get yourself some some of that real sticky Japanese or ice.
That's your next your next three meals, that's all it's
going to be. And yeah, you'll be the Vinus for
about three days.
Speaker 3: You'll be fine.
Speaker 1: This so the crew anyway, are read Weisman great name
for a commander, isn't it a NASA commed weisman? You know,
Victor Glover, he's going to be the pilot. God damn,
I thought there we're all going to be kind of pilots.
But anyway, he's the pilot. He's the first person of
color to travel beyond low orbit. That's lovely. Christina Cock,
my god, she's a mission specialist and she's the first
woman to travel beyond the kitchen. I'm joking. I'm joking.
She again is the first woman to travel beyond Earth
low Earth orbit. And Jeremy Hansen, he's the mission specialist,
first non American is a Canadian to travel beyond low orbits.
All these lands have just been skirted around the place,
bar commander, right, Weisman, who's deal need to be rookies? Listen,
wouldn't you though, wouldn't you be having the time of
your life? I mean, a few quit in the back pocket.
You know you'll all get a book out of it.
Speaker 3: You're going to the moon.
Speaker 1: You're spinning around the moon, taking a couple of snaps
your taste and what are you testing? You know what
I mean? You're testing foot call. All you've been told
is here. Listen, push it out to ten thousand revs
and see and hold it there for a fucking good
two minutes. See how we're going to the pikes go red?
Failing that, she definest she's ready for the NCT. You know,
that's what we're looking at. It's going to.
Speaker 3: Be ten years before someone checks your homework. Oh, for
God's sake, you know, like how many You told me
that there was fifteen rocks and we went up there
and there was only fourteen wamp I tell you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know wind blew over a few.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Quarter of a million miles from Earth is what they're
going to be. Just so, it's the furthest any human
has traveled technically. So it is there because they're not
just going to the moon a beck, they're going around
the back of the shed. Yeah you know what I mean,
which will be technically a bit further than this. So
I suppose that's the thing to get excited about. They
shut off this would I would love to in a
lifetime to see the rocket come up. But I'm such
a fucking cynic, like you see all these newscasters. I
know that she's an Irish woman, she's involved God I
forget her. She breathed a red haired woman. She's a
scientist and she's so involved with NASA and all these things,
and so many people were just crying at this thing
taken off, like and they were overwhelmed by how it
made it feel. And like all I could see was going,
there's a million could, there's a million could. Yeah, there's
a million clud.
Speaker 3: There's a bit the moon, Like.
Speaker 1: Why is he's on the moon? Exactly here, I'm going
around fucking filling my fucking carara with pocket fulls of
fucking diesel of Thursday, and these lads are way up there.
They haven't even fucking get off the ground, and they've
burnt more than I would in a lifetime line ten lifetimes,
fucking fifty blocked every motorway in the country, blocked with
trucks on a fuel cuel crisis, protested these lads going,
let's test the toilet out in space.
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you one thing, tom now, and
we wish the crew of the Artemis all exactly definitely
the notion that the Moonlanders might have been faked back
in the day. And I got to tell you, I
just wanted to be known that my special stance on
the whole thing is that I believe Neil Armstrong walked
on the surface of the actual moon. Okay, okay, and
all that took place, and that's all cool in the gang.
But if you were gone to do anything, then was
the time to do it. I would not frown upon
a government that was in a vicious space race with
their mortal enemies, the Russians, of cheating at the time.
I'd be like, I can see that if you were
going to cheat, that would be the time to do it.
Speaker 1: It would be No, it's only I think for me,
I don't disbelieve that they could or they couldn't have
done it. It sounds a bit tricky alright that how
much would they have known to have ready for themselves
to go up there? Like? But anyway, the the it
seems enough flatter, like things like the footage, the original
footage gone gone, not to be had, that's to be
had gone.
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, I know, did you leave it out
in this on? Know what you do?
Speaker 1: You fuckers went out in the the green bin?
Speaker 4: That was the problem.
Speaker 1: Foxs sake. Things like that were like I left them,
am I like? What about life recorded over put fucking
a country practices recorded over the entirety.
Speaker 5: After all that, I do see a lot of I
do see a lot of conspiracy theorists online that would
take a look at the old Apollo lander and be
that thing's way too flimsy to land, so look, or.
Speaker 3: It's falling apart, is only a bit of a girder
and the land. You can't land a thing like that,
And I'm like, yeah, you're not landing on Earth. Dipshit,
there's no fucking gravity on the Moon. It landed as
gentle as a feather, is what it did. In actual fact,
they had to rocket it down to the ground so
that it wouldn't fucking bounce off into space. So I
don't I'm perfectly okay with the physics of it. And
are you telling me that are you telling me that
thing there had enough diesel in it to get it
back to the to the Earth, And I'm like, once again, space,
you throw a thing, it keeps going. They didn't need
diesel to get back to the Earth. They could have
thrown that fucking thing back to the Earth. It got
a lot slower, but it will get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, it's it's stuff was shite back then.
That's the only thing I believe them now, you know,
like everything was shite. Yeah, big fucking drum brakes on
your car? How did you get that there? Though? How
the fuck did you get that there and back? And
you haven't done it again in fifty years. That's the
one that troubles me. If they're upper and way up
and down like you know yourself, JCBs are knocking around
since whatever the fifties, they got better and better every year.
Every year they got better. They didn't go that's the finest,
the big boxy one with the giant cab ye three CX,
and just leave it at that, with the one with
the red wheels, Just leave it at that. That's fine.
We're twenty twenty six. We'll make a new one. What
I'm saying is, why wouldn't they have gotten between now
and then, like just come on.
Speaker 3: Just waiting. They were waiting time for their ship.
Speaker 1: To come in and waiting for the right. I wanted
to make a tiling.
Speaker 3: Well and all things be all, you know, equality among men,
and then we can put Widy on the moon again.
Speaker 1: I tell you what I don't I do, you know,
I don't understand Jerry. I don't know what's what's going
on like NASA or NASA and then SpaceX is space?
What's who's doing?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Why is there two? I don't. I don't get that.
I don't involve myself enough of these things. But I
don't understand why there's two. Are they both coming out
of the same bus station? Are they both working together?
I don't.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like you're saying over there time if
we have legal do we need ALDI?
Speaker 1: This is kind of it, like what are we doing?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What the fuck are we doing?
Burned up heaves a picture that we all want. Come on.
Speaker 3: That's well, we will find out together and again, if
the Earth is still here on Thursday, and this episode
does indeed drop, we hope that the Artemist people have
arrived safe and sound back down to Earth. But as
the one hundred episode of The Tom and Jerry Show
rolls on, we're gonna say go about the moon and
say hello to someone else. Someone that we want to
say is a lad, not just any lad or one
hundred episodes in here, folks, you know who I'm talking
about talking about? This lad?
Speaker 2: Now there's that guy.
Speaker 1: It had to be some of these specials, and I
mean again, no, we're not those guys. We couldn't have
done just us. I think it once did we do
me at one stage, and I was even very uncomfortable
with that.
Speaker 3: I do remember your I remember your dad was this
lad one one week when he helped you seal the
deal on the finishing of your house.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, We've.
Speaker 3: Inevitably been this lad down through the down through the
one hundred episodes of The Tom and Jerry Show. But
this week we were kicking around. There was a couple
of lads and ladies and inanimate objects about the place.
But we decided instead that if this one hundredth episode
is indeed us raising a glass to the Tom and
Jerry Show, then we should get someone on board who
has raised more glasses than anybody else in history and
have a chat about the drinking prowess of the man
called Andre the Giant.
Speaker 1: And there's nothing. There's a million different things we could
talk about Andre Giant, but I think the drink inside
of things. Why not that we just passed the may
the May Bank on the weekend. Yeah, we're all a
bit dusty after coming off of lint about lighter a
couple of Polish beers Saturday evening, looking sideways and going
ha ha ha, I maybe won't go at the power
towards this.
Speaker 3: See it as we go, as we as the show
rolls on and we start remembering things, Tom, I remember
when hangover in the last two to three days. But
here we are. Andre the Giant born Andrea Roussamov was
a big giant man. Depending on who you listened to,
he was either six eleven or seven five. He was
a wrestler back in the day, made famous by everything
he fucking did. He was have the name from the
seventies through the eighties all the way into the nineties.
Twenty passed away early age. More than that in a second, Tom,
But he was the biggest wrestling attraction. And I don't
mean just like by the size of them. I mean
to say that his name would draw crowds of tens
of thousands. He was the biggest superstar in the world.
And that's all we're going to talk about his wrestling accomplishments, Tom,
because the other thing he was very accomplished in was drinking.
Drinking I mean holds the unofficial but has yet to
be challenged, world record for most beers drank in a
single sitting. He did it in nineteen seventy six. So
I guess this is like the what am I looking
to hear the fiftieth anniversary of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, oh you know what the hell?
Speaker 3: No better time to no better time to mention it?
Speaker 1: Right, unbelievable? Was that the one? Was that the one
he went on he was drinking? Was he drinking with
flair during that one? No? Okay, here's here's had his
own story first.
Speaker 3: With all legends, everybody throws in a little bit of it,
right right. Everybody thinks they were there the night that
Andrea the Giant drank a hundred and seventeen beers. Let
me give you that number again, Tom, one hundred and
seventeen beers.
Speaker 1: Like seventeen beers, it's fair goal.
Speaker 3: You throw a one on the front of that, you're
into something.
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with that as much as I am with
space travel. Right now.
Speaker 3: You're talking about the diesel it takes to lift to
lift a rocket to the moon, the diesel it takes
to hold Andrea the Giant down.
Speaker 1: For the three can brother.
Speaker 3: He always was a mad drinker because not for nothing, Tom,
Look at the fucking size of him. At his peak,
he weighed forty stone and he's he never stopped there
six eleven and a half or seven five, he's at
least seven foot toll.
Speaker 1: Like he's drinking ability could have only gotten better, chir
He never stopped physically growing, you know that he like, yeah, correct,
he was growing, was it Jesus?
Speaker 3: It's megala some such. But the thing that you just
keep throwing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just going.
Speaker 3: Until eventually your heart just puts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is.
Speaker 3: Bad news until you, you know, discover that you can
keep pounding back. Drink after drink. Tom he under the giant.
He love nothing more than to knock back a six
pack of wine.
Speaker 1: He was French, of course, he was French like, so.
Speaker 3: You know, he would drink bottles of wine which looked
just like beer bottles in his hands because the size
of his hands would make it a bottle of wine
looked just like a bottle of Budweiser in their hands.
And he would knock back about six of them and
then go wrestle the match and then come back. He
just simply did not get drunk. He could drink spirits
by the pink glass and not feel drunk.
Speaker 4: Fucking frene.
Speaker 1: You know it's it's it's it's a real thing for
their excellence. They really are, they really are Jesus Christ like.
Speaker 3: But he he.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing like it'll be nothing in the dress
room after match, a full slab, like oh yeah, and
just pop up in their little cans. And the lads
would describe the cans in his hands, it was they
looked like infants cans.
Speaker 3: Little cans you get the kids at Christmas.
Speaker 1: And there was the pol ring ones. He would have
to get the other lads to open it for him
because he's, like he does be fat fit fingers.
Speaker 4: They look like.
Speaker 3: Giant fingers, like white like sticks of white button.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So he just couldn't get fucking
even into open the things, so he'd have an assistant.
But by all accounts, when he went to Japan, they
were because they loved drinking a party and slapping each
other on the chest and the whole. You know, the
businessman would only love to go out. And the bigger
you are, the better, should you imagine him like the
dream sumo like and all of a sudden, now you
can drink saki, You can drink any amount of Japanese beer,
because Japanese beer is light enough on to tell me,
I reckon maybe one if he did a night in Japan,
he'd probably break whatever he did on the it was
one hundred and seventeen or on seventeen.
Speaker 3: Well, look, here's the thing. And again you were asking
who was he with and who was he drinking with.
Here's the thing with legends, you know what I mean,
it's hard to just pin down exactly where it happened
and when it happened. The number quoted online is one
hundred and nineteen beers, one hundred and nineteen twelve ounce beers,
which is like the three thirty bottles. So not he's
not drinking one hundred and nineteen pints. But then again, Tom,
you shouldn't drink one hundred and nineteen fucking anything, all right,
Don't drink one hundred and nineteen steps cod liver oil, Like,
just don't drink that much of anything. They say, one
hundred and nineteen beers. I watched an interview with Andre
the Giant on David Letterman where Andre himself tells Letterman
that it was one hundred and seventeen beers one point seven.
Speaker 1: Let's not be mental here, let's not go crazy.
Speaker 3: But with that being said, what I want to say
over a six hour drinking session where a man is
drinking one hundred and ten one hundred and twenty beers,
who the fuck is canting? Okay? Who is?
Speaker 1: I never pull out the phone or good or for anything,
but I'm just going to So what's six by sixty?
Is it would be six in the minutes? Yes, okay,
says three hundred and sixty, And let's divide that by
one hundred and seventeen. Will say he's telling the truth.
The one hundred and seven one one seven Jesus Christ, Jerry,
that's one ever three three minutes gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just posting them down, one alfter the other.
He's just like knocking them back NonStop, so that he's
drinking these like you or I would eat popcorn.
Speaker 1: Like he would have slowed down. That's the average time,
so he would have started off, clocking him in a minute.
What what's forty? What's a forty ounce? Is that a
full kind of beer?
Speaker 3: Forty is a bottle on itself? A forty is like
it's a it's a particularly big bottle.
Speaker 1: Oh so sorry, twelve ounce. I'm just reading it here now,
just open a twelve ounce beers. Is that a long neck?
Speaker 3: Then that's a long still all the same like the
threehundreds til I drink at christ But I don't to
tell you, as the story goes, I would drink twenty
of those at Christmas and be buckled for days.
Speaker 1: He by all accounts during the film and The Princess
of a Bride, which was brilliant in he wrecked up
a forty grand hotel bart Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all this man did was drink. And look here's
the thing. Okay, you're talking about the legend of when
he drank these one hundred and nineteen beers, and everybody
says they were there. Tom, I'm not going to sit
here across from you and tell you that this was
the only time he drank. Yeah, just like this on
the regular. There's another tale where he was in an
airport with Hulk Hogan on a layover and he drank
one hundred and eight beers until they had no more
to sell them. So this was it was not uncommon
for Andre the Giant to put back one hundred plus beers.
Speaker 1: So, like we there was a friend of ours played
Rugby with him, and I remember there was this will
tell you they was obscurity, obscure of things. That he
was going to college college bars. He went on to
play a little bit of Ireland. He was a monstrous man.
He was six foot five walking around, fit as a
flee at twenty one twenty two stone fit as a
flee now, yeah, And there was a it was a
challenge in a bar that if you could drink six
pints without going to the toilet, you'd get the next
six points for free. And it was the tip and
point for anybody. I was at like five and I'm
fucking nearly gripping the fucking brass bar, just shaking, and
I'm like five and a half pints and I'm like, fuck,
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. It's
it's nearly fucking as I say, your back teeth were floating.
But our friend that was there and his question was
on like the fifth one, if I drink seven or
eight more, could I can I have that for free?
Speaker 4: Like no, you fuck her?
Speaker 1: Six is because much the same thing just had. You know,
that gets to a point where you there's certain there's
a certain gradient between different sized men or different sized women.
You go, if you're a good drink, you're a good drinker,
doesn't matter. But then you get to a certain size
of fucking human jar and you're tipping six five plus
twenty two stone plus, You're going, yeah, you're there's just
a lot more flesh to go around there.
Speaker 3: You've just got a bigger tank. You just curiousity with
that competition. Tom, If you can drink six pints without
going to the toilet, can you just piss yourself at
the bar?
Speaker 1: I suppose that was the other thing. That was one
of those bars that had a sawdust and a dog,
you know, the god of bars. So I'd say I
had I'll be honest with you, Jar, I think it
was a making uppie one on the night until he
walked in to meet us.
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, for a fox sake.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But let's get back to the giant drink. We're gonna
give him one hundred and seventeen because that's what he said,
as best we can. Tilet's in a pub in Philadelphia, right, Pennsylvania,
which would be Philly would be a big wrestling time.
It wouldn't matter because like fucking Andrea would sell it
no matter where he would have went, but Philadelphia up
in the no or East would be up within the
whole Philadelphia, New.
Speaker 1: York, Irish people, jer Irish people, a lot of drinkers,
a lot of people like shmuzzles like so you could
see why wrestler would be very, very popular, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3: Well, this was the This was the one night. This
was the one night that people have reported that Andrea
passed out from drinking. This was the night that put
him down for the count. All the other nights where
he would drink one hundred and eight beers with Hulk Hogan,
or he would drink twelve bottles of wine or three
bottles of vodka, whatever it would be. And I'm not
making any of this up. These are all reported stats.
Andrea the Giant could not make it back to his
hotel that night. The wrestlers that were with them did
their best to get a very very drunk forty stone
man as far as they could. They made it to
the lobby of the hotel that they were staying in,
and Andrea could go no further. He went to a
knee to two knees, curled up in a ball and
they love fast.
Speaker 1: Asleep like a fucking cow, like a cow, like a cow,
just laying down. You're like, all right, well, there's no
moving her now until the morning.
Speaker 4: She's no nowhere.
Speaker 3: And in an innovative you ever get yeah, you ever
have a couple of drinks in your time and just
get clever, you know what I mean? Like you're like, wow,
that's a clever thing to do, and I wouldn't have
thought of it sober yep. The lad said, we can't
leave him here like this, but the only thing they
could do was cover them. But given the size of them,
there was nothing to cover him with except there was
a cover on the grand piano in the lobby, and
they took the cover off the grand piano and just
laid it over him, and he slept there till morning
and then got up and drove back or gotten the
bus the tour boss or the trailer or whatever will be,
and just made the next show on the territory the.
Speaker 1: Trailer like there was a fucking pony like a horse
bock backed up to the fucking door.
Speaker 3: You know, that's the kidding on the square. He fucking
hated traveling because he couldn't travel in cars, he couldn't
travel in buses. Planes were a nightmare, all this kind
of thing. So the promoter up in that corner, Vince
McMahon's father, actually kitted out a trailer for him. They
kidded out like a an r V kind of a
thing that could sit and and and and be driven
around the place. And while he was sitting in it
has been driven around the place. He would just.
Speaker 1: Like, who's drawn the beer to him? That's the that's
gonna be. It's gotta get funnier and funnier.
Speaker 3: Like, that's the funny thing, like drawn.
Speaker 1: The bottles to hit to this fucker, Like the the
what am I doing here? Every every every three minutes,
you're cracking another one more beer?
Speaker 3: The fuck. The funny thing about it is that it
would be what would be known in wrestling as the
young boys, you know what I mean, the guys coming
up coming through. Younger people kind of get treated a
bit like dogs. He's so, you're not just part of
the stripes, fuck you and and and that's who they
were at the time. But later on in life, like
one of those lads that was just carrying boxes of
beer to Andrea and getting bonked on the head with
cans was hul Cogan, you know, just when he was
there in the stripes, it was like, you know, yeah,
here you go, Here you go. Andre eventually passed away,
which is terribly sad. And he died like early. He
died like fifty or some such. It must be stressed
when he's sinking one hundred and nineteen beers tom in
nineteen seventy six, He's thirty years of age.
Speaker 1: Here, Jesus Christ, I remember, I remember, I know, we
we've we had a whole segment called My My Drunks Ever,
and I think the most was like twenty something in
a day, and it was I mean, the hired, like
you know it was. But to conceive even close to
this monster, it's it's it's crazy. The most I ever
drank of my life was twenty four cans in one day.
And once I've talked about it and my drunk even,
that's not touching the That's like, I think forty beers
forty of what Andre would have been drinking. He don't
get take, would you?
Speaker 3: He don't you know what it would be As Andrea,
I'll probably say it's just enough to piss you off,
but we wanted to bring you that quick story there
of the drinking progress of Andre the Giant and if
you are Steph, we're all still here on Thursday, and
that's so amazing. Tom, that's not a fucking guarantee. Yeah,
we would love to raise a glass which you find
folks for the one hundred episode. But before all that,
we have won final segment of the Tom and Jerry
Show that we'd like to take you find folks through
on a segment of the show where we take a
look back through all their years in life. Because if
we've said many times on the show, here we were
born early eighties, it's in the mid twenty twenties now.
Seeing a lot of shit come on, a lot of
shit go. We reminisce upon it on a segment called
we Remember when when I was a young lad twenty
or thirty or forty years ago?
Speaker 1: Oh do I remember? It's it's we can get self indulgent.
We can get self indulged, because we're bringing this one
round to we remember when there was no podcasts. We
remember when we started podcasts, and we were reminiscent during
the week and our very first even though it's like
Apple and Spotify will really show it because whatever updates
happened at the time because we were with.
Speaker 3: The apparently we dropped fifty episodes on the same day
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I don't know what it was.
I don't know what happened. There was it a changeover
or something, but it wasn't all the way back to
our very first episode was created anyway, It was recorded
on would you believe Jar nearly ten years ago, the
twenty sixth of April twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: I would well believe it, buddy, I would well believe it.
Here's the thing, folks, It's fair to say when we
were growing up there were no podcasts, no, and there
were certainly no comedy podcasts. There were various things that
I think lent themselves to podcast Rory Tom and things
that we would have had a lot of heating. So
when Tom Oman he came to me eleven odd years
ago and said, hey, do you want to jump in
and have a podcast? And I was like, yeah, okay,
go on fucking why not? So that took me a
year to fucking reply because I was a slow minded
person back then, and I got and for nothing as well,
we were just about to have the second baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a bit going.
Speaker 3: On with had a bit going on. What amazes me
is that we launched our first episode I think like
six weeks after my daughter was born. So I don't
know what kind of balls I had back then to
talk to my you know, my wife who had just
given birth to a baby and had another kid running
around the house as well, and turn around and go like,
come here, listen, you seem to have this in hand.
When I'm gonna get home from work, I'm fucking off
to record a podcast.
Speaker 1: But that was that was the thing we didn't. This
is where the evolution even of podcasts is.
Speaker 3: We didn't.
Speaker 1: There was no option to There was no Zoom option.
There was no and even Zoom started, it was shy first,
you know, was read choppy and stuff.
Speaker 3: Now you remember when Zoom was.
Speaker 1: Skype And now we've cleaned microphones. Everything's clean. But we
we recorded a test episode and in Jerry's house where
we set up a H two Zoom and we just
set it up. The company's Zoom, not the the application Zoom,
but this company. You know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to interrupt you there, buddy, but I
went talking to someone the other day goes like, you
know you can record on a zoom if you have
a zoom to take the zoom. Yeah, fuck notion what
I was talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, they would, they wouldn't put if they were camera people,
they would because they still make very good ones in
them and they're so you can clip those the top
of a camera and you actually put in four hit
Accel R microphones and everything in the big ones are good.
Are still very much sought after. But we set it
up in the in your sittroom and we did a
test and I don't know where it is. I cannot find.
We did a test one while building the buggy.
Speaker 3: I so happened to have a pushchair to be put
together for again nice stress my infant daughter. And we
just said, look, let's just set it up together. And
it was disappointingly short because really it was just clipping
four wheels onto a buggy took no time whatsoever. I
was hoping it was going to be a big complex ike.
Speaker 1: I think it was a good idea of yours. You're like,
let's see, this will take a bit of a bit
of time. We're like, two was to construction. Mind the
people with, ah, right, that's done, clicking away we went.
But you know what, for all the ability that we
would added in the capability of podcasting, it was kind
of entertaining, and I remember listening back to it, but
it would be fun to listen if I could find
it out. But it could be.
Speaker 3: In the But it gave us enough, It gave us
enough juice in the tank to say that we could
make an episode.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: We all we often talk here on the show about
the forgotten episodes. We're we're we're looking at the culmination
of a one hundred, one hundred episode run straight. Yes,
But before that, me and Tom used to release batches
of episodes, like six or six episodes over six weeks,
and then let it sit for six months, and then
do eight episodes and then let it's six set for
six months like not for nothing. As well, we were
both giging comedians at the time. You were a full
time giging comedian and I was as best as I
could beat the full time which I am not these days.
So there wasn't a guarantee that we would have a
steady recording night every night of the week, and we
couldn't commit to doing this, and the last thing I
wanted to be was like one episode here and maybe
another one in a fortnight, and then an episode and
then nothing for three weeks. So like, but we could
record six episodes over two days and release them over
six weeks.
Speaker 1: We did to give people a context to who might
be long term listeners. You're like, but why would what?
What was? What was the trouble? Ironically we lived far
closer to each other then that we have done this
last hundred episodes. But it was because there wasn't a
de skype As ship pure shit like, and there was
no zoom, so we physically had to go and meet
and I would often meet Jerry off the dart I
would park up was a black rock and stuff. It
was there.
Speaker 3: There was various train stations, found.
Speaker 1: A couple of weird doggers just covers at.
Speaker 3: The train stations here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, car, but the only thing was the car made
for a decent studio because it is soundproof anyways, made
for the audio of.
Speaker 3: Those earlier episodes. If you're if you care to go back,
like right now, we're we do a little setup. We've
got good MIC's here, you know, good setups. We won't
record if the internet is patchy if there's a storm
out or anything like that. Back then, we're recording in
the car, running with the winter, you know. Yeah, I
remember we recorded a couple of episodes driving the gigs
and you just put the zoom on the on the
dashboard and troll.
Speaker 1: So funny the sound of the indicator. I'll never forget
how on an opful fucking whatever it was at the
time I was driving and it's sound of the beast
and indicators. We were trying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but but they're good times. And the older
episodes that there, we fished them out every now and
then for for people to listen to, and we tried
a couple of things, you know, it was kind of Magazini,
not unlike what the show looks like today. And then
there was, of course a good run there. Of about
twenty episodes we did were the worst specific subjects that
we talked about. So we did an hour on we
did two hours on Fred Dibner, and we did three
hours on toolbox legends and all this kind of thing.
And I did love those episodes, but I gotta tell you, Tom,
they were unsustainable. You couldn't put one of them out
everywhere you couldn't.
Speaker 1: Not every week you couldn't because what they were was
they were very much us. They were on brand for us,
like and without a producer really going digging out and
we sitting down and it is it's amazing for the
people that can that do do it full time that
they can sit down, you know, they would have it
and they were just putting their lap as a full
thing and you'd have to sit down for a meeting
and you'd create. I think they were pretty tasty for
what we I think we did pretty good. Yeah, the
time was straight because we would have a lot of
notes on them and stuff like that. I still have
even the other notes written and I.
Speaker 3: Have I have like you know, say for fred Dibner,
which was like come come the ladder end of it
was like three hours straight. I fucking rolled all that out,
longhand before we sat down.
Speaker 1: And you can tell though, because there's still huge admiration
on because the clips are on YouTube just with a
flat screen YouTube that won't take a link now anymore.
It was brilliant for for people listening before because again,
if we're the producer to actually we're recording on video here,
but we don't really put the video out, even though
it is very much the case in point. I remember
a guy he was he was gonna, you've a podcast.
I mean it's heard of the podcast. Where do I
get to watch it? I'm like, no, the whole idea
of a podcast is that it's audio based. It was like, what, like, what, man,
you're working, when do you have time to be watching
the video of a thing when I'm not watching? I
would what does it make a difference two blokes faces
just listen to us? Ah? Never he thought about it
like that. Yeah, it's an audio focus, but it's for
for other people. It's it's a completely different medium like
bells and whistles attached. They got to see it. Now,
there's a lot I've performances, I you know, like to
see how some of the biggest ones in Ireland have
even gone. You're like, holy shit, you're selling out the
three Arena, like the two Johnny's the night I opened
for the two of them at there and I helped
them start that one that they had. Now they took
the ball and run it. They had a great producers.
Like it went from this too. You know, literally the
same thing in your fucking car inside the garage to
Jesus Christ, there's ten thousand people here fucking wanting to
see a podcast. Would you're like, it has transformed from
what I suppose the original thing without that to sound like, yeah,
but but it's not what you know it's supposed to be.
It is exactly whatever people want it to be. It's
a show. Now, you know that it's a show.
Speaker 3: And in what we have, we have never abandoned our roots.
Tom Oh, but let me tell you if anybody else
there out there wants those to abandon our roots all
fucking abandoned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we said we should do a thrashing festival
or something like that, you know, something that would be
right on brand for.
Speaker 3: Us, like Wells. That brings me to the next portion.
Now we've got the history of the Tom and Jerry Show,
the short version of it there, and you're welcome to
listen to the older episode.
Speaker 1: And that would pretty much tell you what's the great
thing about talking about the history of the Tom and
Jerry Show. Literally on the platform you're listening to right now,
your thumb will get you all the history you need
on the Tom of Jerry Show.
Speaker 3: Just simple as that.
Speaker 1: Just roll backwards.
Speaker 3: Now, the future of the Tom and Jerry Show is
a different story. This is not a Swan song. And
providing that not too much shit blows up this evening.
Speaker 1: We should be all right, Should be all right, should
be all right.
Speaker 3: You can listen to us in the wastelands going forward. Now,
we had always said that we would shake up the
show every fifty episodes or so, and you might remember
that on episode fifty gone by we shock up a
couple of things and introduced a couple of new segments.
I don't know that we're going to do that now
because I think we're in a nice groove and I
feel they're still still meat on the bone.
Speaker 1: Well, I have noticed people are very very much like
and we want to like, we're doing what we like
to do. But at the same time you have to
be conscious that that people are listening. And that's the
big thing about podcast is that when you find your
groove and you find your niche, we know that some
sort of people that listen to this are exactly like
us in that sense, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like there's they don't suddenly want fashion corner, you.
Speaker 1: Know, our order to do on heavy politics and stuff
like that, they're just like, you know what, take me away,
take me, take me away from the city. They just
want that every just just an hour of these two
fucking knuckleheads just spouting almost almost always at least twenty
points of totally inaccurate, fucking facts where we just make speculation,
wild fucking rumors.
Speaker 3: Please please don't fact check us on anything we say.
Ten years ago.
Speaker 1: We think that's the truth of it. Ten years ago.
To me, you could have said, Tom, we started this
twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Ah, this podcast here in ten years.
Speaker 1: But the evolution of the podcast went from I thing
that used to happen years ago. Now I did a
mini tour with Tom Green. You remember Tom Green, not
you know, a great a very extreme actor and stuff.
Speaker 4: Not extreme actor, but just.
Speaker 1: Shock kind of guy.
Speaker 3: His stand up, he had a moment, he.
Speaker 1: Had a moment, He married Drew Barrymore. He was the
perfect he was escape battle boarder and he was He
got super famous for Freddie got fingered, he got super
famous for road Trip, he got super famous for whatever
other bits and pieces. His stand up was.
Speaker 3: At this point, you either know Tom Green and you
don't know down Yeah.
Speaker 1: His stand up was you know it was it was
what it was, but he was he was one of
the first because he even built a server mini server
farm in his house, the whole lot because he knew
he wouldn't have the bandwidth to put it out. But
what he what he was spring by and other guys
comics were coming over to his house going what is this,
So you're going to make a TV show, radio show
in your house. They were like, it's not really a
radio show. It's the Internet was brand new, and it
was like, it's this is going to be harbored on
the internet. They're like, show what's on the internet or
not Internet, Like, you don't get it. The Internet's going
to be big. Well, I'm going to harbor these there
and people can listen to them from anywhere in the
world at any time they ever want them. No, that's
not how radio works. You listen, money, listen, No trust me.
And where that where that had originally come from was
it was comics And remember Bill Burde a couple more
than it did it where they would phone in to
a PO box that you and me and everybody else
could subscribe to and just listen to them talk at nauseum.
And it was really solo solo stuff. So it was
really good for practicing podcasts, real solo stuff. And they
would just go, ah, and you know what.
Speaker 6: The other fucking thing about fucking taxis in the fucking city,
they can go fuck themselves and they'd leave a half
an hour of a rant or a talk, maybe two
fellas talking, and would just pay to listen into it.
Speaker 1: This is all around the time of paying for h
fucking phone rings and stuff like that. Yeah, real analogy
at the time. And that's how you do it.
Speaker 3: I mean, like you know, and and and we always
we always like to touch on the things that we've
seen and come and go. I mean, like some of
them are outlandish. People say, what do you mean you
were there before mirke Wibbs. Uh what podcast? It really was?
Even the word podcast comes from where people were listening
to it. It was a broadcast that you listen to
on your iPod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, simple as that.
Speaker 3: And now, of course you're going to get a portion
of the autis going like, what's an iPod.
Speaker 1: That's where where it's where all your Spotify lived, that's
Spotify playlists, that's where they lived but didn't live anywhere else.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you I'll tell you. And I didn't
know Tom Green was that involved in the evolution of podcasts.
But if you want to push further back home, and
I think this is what greatly appeals to you and
me for what we're doing here on a podcast, ah,
is like the most earliest form of this, one can say,
might be cbe radio communication.
Speaker 1: Yes yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Or you're just putting it out into the world, your
ramblings and your thoughts as you're driving up and down
the road on the Pork Chop Express. Yeah, and whoever's
out there listens to it. Just now, I want to
listen in and hear what Jack Burton has to say.
That's that's that's I think where we came to it.
That what appeals to us, like, oh we I know.
I certainly was brought up on smoking in the band
and big Trouble in China and all this kind of thing,
and I always thought, wow, so those guys just are
just jib jabbing and chatting and people are listening and
thinking that it's great and chiming in and having a
good time. So when a good buddy Tom O man,
he comes to me and says, you want to have
a podcast and be like, yeah, fucking hell yeah, why not.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing because the notion that radio is
for good morning everybody, welcome to the babusy, you know,
that's who radio is for radios for radio trained people
who did broadcasting didn't course swear nothing. Then you went
and you know, when the ads were coming and stuff
like that, like I did. I did a brief bit
in radio, and they tried to train me in and
sometimes like I know.
Speaker 4: And I'm no good at a sport or whatever.
Speaker 1: I know, I just fucking know, and I'm like, this
ain't But if you put me on the air with
a bunch of other people, both bump bum bum bum
bum bum, I'll be lining them up bang bang bang.
And I used to do every Monday morning with what
Jennifer and Bernard and oh shit, yeah that's right. And
then they had a restructuring with of course, and I'm
sure it didn't it didn't. You know, there's no skin
off my notes. They weren't hardly paying me a penny anyway,
but it was nice to celtickets. But anyway they they did,
they were like they were very courteous to me, and
a couple of them showed just went look sitting here
for half an hour with me, right, so say you're
there's an ad coming now. I suppose they were throwing
me in to fucking this immediate level for a fellow
who knew nothing, let alone beginner level. They were they
were asking you to go into competitions. So it was
I just knew straight I would this would be too
big of a jump. I would not be able to
do this by myself, not even close, you know what
I mean. And I also looked at Temporrellian and Bernard,
knew them who had nothing to do it. What was
coming up? It was all Keith Wallach was running the
fucking machinery. But oh, and this isn't I like it
to a degree. I like the bit of banter we're
having in here, but I felt like there was handcuffs
on everything that you want.
Speaker 3: To do, which there would be. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, my seven jeargo was
so we can be Evan and jeffin about whatever we want,
and if only two people listened, then so be it.
Speaker 3: But the other end of it as well, Tom and
again what we would have seen coming up was was
the notion of a pirate radio station. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
pirate radio station where you could say or do whatever
you want. I remember there was a movie in the eighties.
I don't know if it's lived long in anybody's memory,
but was called Pump Up the Jam and it had
like Christian Slater.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. And then there was another one,
wasn't there that Steve Coogan made No.
Speaker 3: On Up the Way Ship a rock. It was just
this whole notion that you just had this wild public
access say whatever you want. Nobody knows who are just
this this anonymous voice on the radio talking mad ship
about whatever or whatever you wanted. You know that stays
with you, and you know, you know that's why I was.
You tell me that you're putting together podcast and I've
got like my infant daughter in my hand, and I'm like, no,
by pet, gotta go fucking But there is that friend
Tom starting a radio show.
Speaker 1: Just like that. When I was your formative years are
in your teens and stuff, and I took a lot
of things. I mean, I'll slag America left right and center.
But for the for the summer I lived there, it
was a very formative time. It was the summer sixteen,
but there was a lot of there was a huge
cultural jump from what Ireland had gone on and what
they had gone on. There was like, I don't know
what was opening that there was. There was a couple
of great radio stations that were boarderline, very close to
the edge with how some of their subject matters, some
of the very cool funny stuff they would do, some
of the pranks they were pulling on each other, and
we had nothing to that standard. And we eat a couple,
but you know, you've might Mike Murphy's and stuff like
that all for the old people, like, but this was
super cool young people stuff and they were nothing like
the radio stations we had. And Baltazar, I remember was
one of their names. Was it Rocks Pebbleton, Baltazar on
the morning in Boston Boston City FM or whatever the.
Speaker 4: Fuck it was.
Speaker 1: But I remember seeing they were just so cheeky and
how they got away with things like.
Speaker 3: They were addictive, like different, a different animal.
Speaker 1: I was tuned in them every morning in my little
fucking booths where I was doing security. I mean, I
say that they were the only thing just about keep
me away, but I definitely walked away with a different
notion in my head going there. If there was a
way to be that cool, or at least the liberty
in being that trying to be that cool, would you
would you'd be hamstrong, left right and center and any
any structured yeah, no news broadcast. I mean they're all
owned by particularly one gay now well.
Speaker 3: I mean to get away from him. With that being said,
if any structured broadcast entity wants to throw a couple
of shekels their way, you watch us a band and
air Morrows, Oh my god, run out and call the show,
and you fucking.
Speaker 1: Want whatever you want, whatever you want, you.
Speaker 3: Can call it that.
Speaker 1: Tom and Jerry, I mean that I need I need it. No,
I would last fourteen. I mean I've they've let me
pushed the end up a small but on radio stations
here in Cork and hearing the Limerick but even a
few times like they're going, is Christian Man's a bit
of a fucking live wires And because of course I
come straight in with Tom and Jerry energy like oh yeah,
you know what I mean, they're going, Oh Jesus Christ,
we better start running this thirty seconds behind because this
guy could it's a fucking.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you a Boddy, you come in with
Tom and Jerry energy to a job interview. That's what
I've done on occasion and work out well.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much,
lovely to see you again. Get garrowed Gared, Jerry. Don't
you worry about it? Don't you worry about just you
can just leave that there. Yeah, just leave that there. Well,

we are to answer, but he posted somewhere which I

Speaker 3: Crackick shout out. Tom put out a quick shout out
before we recorded tonight on the Instagram asking did anybody

couple in. Our friend, Chip the painter has no questions.
He just wants to say, keep up the good work, lads,

k et cetera, just mental ones. We might we might
pull at that a little bit, yeah, episodes. I mean
I mentioned the moon there the day, which I kind
of don't believe in, but would believe that would be
a thing.

he's what he's poking at there? And we need to
go root in around for fun once because you and

movie and your favorite Bond actor.

actor is Pierce bros And I thought he looked great
in the role, but he was never in like a
very very very good film. No maybe, but like he was,

is uh Pierce Pros and I have always said to
anyone that will listen to, my favorite Bond movie.
