Speaker 1: Freddie.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm best known for knocking down chimneys, but
on occasion I've knocked down other things as well. I've
knocked down church spires, I've knocked down barns houses. I
do believe I wants to even knock down at Pete Sylvan.
It's nice to mix things up now and then. So
be it with this week's Tom and Jerry Show. That's
all I have to say about that.
Speaker 1: I'll see the.
Speaker 3: It might be a bank holiday, but there's no days
off for the Tom and Jerry Show.
Speaker 1: I've putting in for overtime anyway. That look, I'll take
time in a quarter if you'll offer, if you'll give
it to me, j I'll take time and a quarter
and that not another bit less. Have you keep it?
Speaker 3: I'm not keeping too bad, buddy, have and hello everybody.
I'm Jerry McBride. That's Tom of my honey. You might
have picked a rare episode to start listening to the
Tom and Jerry Show if this is your first episode,
but we'll get into it all the same. It is
a bank call on a Monday, as myself and Tom
record this, even though you're listening to it on a Thursday,
and for the bank holiday that's in the Tom we
said we'd take no days off, but we said we
might take a different approach to the show this week.
Speaker 1: What are they I think it's worth it because people's
brains too, maybe they can't be overloaded, although they do
get it by Thursday and stuff put you know what
I mean. And sometimes we want to ease them back
in after the first the proper summer bank holiday and
these ourselves back into a chair rather than the typical format,
which is a format you know, I'll tell.
Speaker 3: You what it is. We've we've threatened about doing this
for a while with the Tom and Jerry Show, where
we would just have a bit of a bladder skate episode,
whereas we just let the intro of the show run
for an hour. We tell people what the social media
channels are we going to fuck home?
Speaker 1: Well? Do you know what it is too? Sometimes we
have stories from the weekends that don't really fit with
the and we have to, you know, we got to
get them out of the way to get into our
subjects too, you know, And we've often joke on Jesus Christ,
we could stay talking about screwdrivers for not to say
that this episode is going to be all about screwdrivers,
but one or two of them, buddy, If that's what
the listeners want, we're more than happy to do it.
But for this one, I think it's well worked. Just
in Alnatther do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm going to tell you. We'll
get into it anyway if we if we, if we
find ourselves scrambled in ten minutes, then we might go,
oh shit, fucking look up the news time. But for
the purposes of this bit here, it's a band called
the Blatherer skate episode. We are the Weekly? What have you?
We are these lads and this is a bunch of
shit we remember from Tom o'many over there and Jerry McBride,
my good, So how does that sound for your buddy?
Speaker 1: I like it and I'm down for that.
Speaker 3: And here's the other thing with this, with this sort
of more chilled out episode normally, folks, And if you've
ever listened to our show before, you'll know it might
must be apparent from the end result that we did
fuck all prep for to me at least have outlined
who is this lad and who is the Weekly?
Speaker 1: One would be fair to go into a show Jerry,
you're doing as a disservice. I've been involved in lots
of podcasts, and I can tell you Jerry's production work
behind the scenes is actually good.
Speaker 3: It is good. It is good to say all that
to say, this week's episode is hot and fresh out
the kitchen. I have no idea what Tom's going to
tell me for his crack. And I don't think Tom,
you were prepared for me to turn around and say,
on this bank hall on the weekend, guess what I did?
Go on? What did you do?
Speaker 1: Can I guess? Actually? Can I guess? Let me guess
if you guess this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay? Uh?
Speaker 1: First of all, did you go away leave? You didn't? Okay,
you did too. You didn't leave the property, you replaced
the toilet? No?
Speaker 3: No, Tom, And I think we might be we might
be here a while before you'd ever guessed this one.
Speaker 1: What the fuck did you do? Did you take a
makeup course online or something?
Speaker 3: You know? Tom? I got pepper sprayed?
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I knew Dublin was I knew Dublin was
going to fuck But Jesus Christ, and are you holding
an oil protest inside your own property.
Speaker 3: And curious about being pepper sprayed and wondered what it
was like. Let me assure you and the listeners of
the Tom and Jerry Show, it fucking sucks, buddy.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is not something you didn't accidentally open it
like a fortune cookie from fucking the Chinese up the road.
And the next thing, it was.
Speaker 3: All five spices.
Speaker 1: What in the name of Christ? We need the scenario
and then the why, and then the how.
Speaker 3: Well, Tom, okay, so how did I come to have
pepper spray in the house? Probably is the first one.
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean okay, I mean
I've heard of people haveing for What purpose did you
have because now you have it in your lungs? What
purpose did you have the pepper spray in the house?
Speaker 3: Far ahways they say in falling down town defense?
Speaker 1: Okay, right, you have it in the house for defense?
Are you allowed to have it? Well? Don't When this drops, Tom,
I don't have it anymore because I know, like people
get bear spray and stuff like that. You can get
that SENTI here, but I don't know about the pepper spray.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, well we'll come to Okay. So first and
foremost it must be said, it's not my pepper spray.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, right, okay, all right. I bought
my family's pepper spray.
Speaker 3: I bought my wife pepper spray for our birthday. Nice.
Speaker 1: Nice, I get that. I a hundred percent get that.
We have female listeners. Right now, we're going to fuck.
That wasn't all you got it for a birthday? Right?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I gotta get a holdster.
Speaker 1: You got a holster. You gotta tasteer and holsters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Tom, I got her. I got her just
as a joke present. I got pepper spray, but I
got her a whole sauce set as well.
Speaker 1: I once got herself was out about she had to
go from she needed to go to whatever pharmacy to
get makeup. And I try to pick it up on
my way back. And I think you wanted a few
people to really appreciate it. I think I sent you
the picture of it. Yeah, and it was. I said, well,
what what form do you want to chebe? I don't
know what because it's a palace palace. Yes, I'm an Irish,
So I purposely brought home my ballads. I wanted to
make him up. Person Jerry Folk loved it. I thought
it was a fantastic joked.
Speaker 3: This is what we're putting on the same So I've
got I got my wife think of pepper spray. Oh,
you know, it's it's, it's it's. I've always said, I
don't think you know lawless country that we live in,
lawless world that we live in. Yeah, ah, as we
come to find out, we're very unlikely to ever peppers
prayer a human being here, but we were hold as
in Italy a while back. Okay, they're selling pepper spray
in the pubs.
Speaker 1: You can buy it for six euro in a vendor
machine or over the bar, over the bar, and it
was like a little right, it's about the size of.
Speaker 3: Right, the size of you know that, you know that
the for your mouth, like the bread spray, it's about
that size.
Speaker 1: That is a terrible size to be because Jesus Christ
Heaven forbade like in the pube where you get drunk,
for sure, dickheads like you and me, or spraying each other.
Speaker 3: For the crag. Well not twice body, I'll tell you
that much. So I said, oh, holy shit, because I've
always been looking out for pepper spray. Uh and so
so so I got it, and I'll tell you how
fucking take I am Tom. I had it, and we
carry on lugage in the airport come.
Speaker 1: Back, okay, because that was gonna be my next question.
Did you stuff it into a bunch of socks? So
what was it? You know?
Speaker 3: Because I was there and I was like, I was
like surprisingly advanced on. We hadn't checked the carry the
stowed bag, and I just said, fuck, actually, you know what,
maybe I should not carry an accelerant onto the plane.
I got it home and the eitor for a birthday
A big laugh, all right.
Speaker 1: All that. So they didn't even put it through the
scanner and they were okay.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I wised up enough to put it on
the on the check in bag.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3: The window was tight, I'll tell you. So we're home now,
and this is a couple of weeks past, and the
pepper spray is like, you know, just you know, sitting
in the press or whatever like that. I was like, yeah,
you're ever gonna take that? You here, you asked, I
bought it for laugh, but are you ever gonna take that?
And she goes, you know, I don't know, I mean,
you know I'd be afraid i'd spray yourself. Well, you know,
show them me, show me looking at it here, and
you know the way if you get like the odran
or whatever like that, the first spray of the odrant
kind of breaks the ceiling it the presidential ticket. So
she's sort of like, you know, the the is there?
Is it open? Like is it unsealed now at the minute,
or do I have to break the ceiling or whatever?
And she sprayed a week spray. We puff of it
up into the air, not acting like yeah, but just
sort of like as you would you imagine, like you
know you're gonna smell, perform like that. You just sort
of give it one up into the air in all indoors,
all indoors.
Speaker 1: Like you give me so much ship about not being safe.
This was this was the littlest puff It's fucking pepper spray.
Speaker 3: Well didn't we learn that in the Jesus Christ? Okay,
al right, like you the pair of us just immediately,
even though neither of us were standing anywhere near where
this was.
Speaker 1: Spread, yeah you were, because it fucking goes everywhere.
Speaker 3: Oh like immediately like clawing out your throat like wins
in your eyes shut like god right. And then the
fucking the children, God love them. They they heard the
commotion and they came running in from the sitting room
and we were like, don't come out of the catcha,
don't come out of the catch and then they come
running into it, and like what do you use.
Speaker 1: Them?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 3: What the.
Speaker 1: Running in? And he starts like, imagine sex smells like
when you're spitting there.
Speaker 3: That's what it was. And like it was all I
could do to open windows and doors and ship and
we're like, okay, everybody out of the back garden. Everybody
out of the back garden, and we all go out
the dogs like yepe ype ype out into the back
into the back garden. And that was all here, just
like hot, like just coughing up hair balls.
Speaker 1: Is there a smell of it or is it just
attacking you with capscumb like it's it's it's it's like.
Speaker 3: It's like the be an idiot at the best of times, Tom,
But do you ever have like the real mad hot
sauces that you get on hold this? Yes, you know,
and you only ever take a tip of it, and
you're like, God, that is mad heart on Now that
was twelve dollars worth of worth of of sample and
of it you never go near it again.
Speaker 1: It was like that, but your breather, Yeah, isn't a
capsicum they put in it.
Speaker 3: It's like habon or some such se on the on
the on the label of it as well. It didn't
even say pepper spray. It's been an Italian product. It
was like pepperccino legal, which I took to me in
like legal pepper spray. So I was like, how bad
can it.
Speaker 1: Be, like, you know, if you have to put legal
on the front or something.
Speaker 3: So all that to say, Tom, I immediately now will
bow to any request from a member of on guarda
saconna from any secure before I'm completely compliant. I'm not
going to cause any ship to anybody because I've had
like what the barest whiff of this in the O
zone feels like if you ever spray this directly into
my eyes, just throw me in a hole and cover
it over. I don't want to go on.
Speaker 1: They do say, though, like, if you're going to you know,
administer like a weapon of any sort, you should know
what it's like. Like, well, I know, I know, I
don't think you do. I think really your wife needs
to stand you in the backyard from like three feet
away and a direct, a direct hit.
Speaker 3: I think you're welcome to stand beside me.
Speaker 1: Tom, do you know what I would I actually will,
I would do it.
Speaker 3: I'd fucking terrible. This is news to the listeners of
the Tom and Jerry Show. Pepper spray not fun. Yeah,
but we need to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've intrigued me though. Now I'm like, what, I
won't be beaten by this fucking thing, Like so no, yeah,
I know, I've Yeah, I've experienced what I think pepper
spray long after it's been sprayed in a room when
it work security right, and it was just nasty in
the air.
Speaker 3: They're like still blinking. And but the time we went
into the house, like half an hour passed and it
was still like you could sense it in the air, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like when the mother law
leaves you can just sense you.
Speaker 3: But no, there you go. And I'll tell you one thing.
I never want to be pepper spray again in my life.
Didn't want to be. This time just so happened to
be in my house and here we are. I still
do kind of want to be tasted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to be taste. Yeah, yeah, I
want to be taste the.
Speaker 3: Youngbody out there the Tom and Jerry Show listenership can
help me or Tom get tasted. And no, I don't
mean like how long to like a cattle fence for a.
Speaker 1: I have been, I have been cattle products. All right.
That's the same thing, though, isn't it apparently? But there's
no hooks in it. Do you know the little hooks
it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 1: I want this sort of Yeah, there's two nodes on
the end of it, like the overt, you know, for
seeing how dry a bit of timbers you know that?
And that stuck to my spine. Fuck me, it dropped
me like zero control, zero control, Thanks for to God.
Like I didn't have full bowels because I would have
dropped everything. Just just lose honestly if you needed to
loosen out and not or loosen out something, because it
was the floppiest my body had ever been in this
entire entirety, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's one for the listenership at the
Talm and Jerry Show. Can you help me and Tom?
O'Mahony get taste Tom? While I was fucking writhing around
poorn milk into my eyes? What were up to this one?
Speaker 1: What day a week, night of the week was that?
What daya week was? Weekend?
Speaker 3: Sunday? Okay, we record.
Speaker 1: I had a self reflection moment where I have realized
something about myself, Jerry, and something I would have never
thought I was. And you probably would have never thought
I was it, or people just wouldn't you know, an
unglamorous fellow like me probably would never have thought that
I've realized that I now am this thing. Would you
like to hazard a guess of what I believe I've become?
Jure from the deep woods.
Speaker 3: Been thinking for several years.
Speaker 1: No, I know you and I know that I've become
an otter and total food anchor.
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, you've rebelled, Oh no, Tom, you've rebelled
against this for some time.
Speaker 1: I know I don't food. Yeah, I don't know. Am
I like to myself? But I sat there the other night,
and to give you an example, right before a gig
and they feed me well before this gig down dun
Garvin stunning, stunning spot. But I sat there and I normally,
you know, I just go, oh yeah, well you just
you just send out whatever you wanted. I'm just happy
to get a bit of screen into me. But I time,
and I was by myself the other comics I arrived,
so I did a terrible thing. I read the menu
down through it and contemplated it. I didn't And this
went on for ten minutes, this reading as my craft
bureaus put down into my hands from a local producer.
And as I got there, I went, you know what,
I'm going to go for a couple of tapas, guys.
And the tap has consisted of locally called calamari.
Speaker 3: Nice. Yeah, see this is nice to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not saying it's not nice. But at the
same time, this is fair wanky when it gets to
the pork meat polls and fennel. Yeah, when we start
heading into the tackle bravadas, beef bravatus, and when we
end up with a plate full of bang bang cauliflower
chair and I sat there sampling all three of them,
doing things like swirling my fork in the air like
fucking Harry, yeah, Harry Potter, Like trying to source out
like what ingredients the chef had put into such and
such a thing, and nodding. I was by myself nodding
like a fucking wanker. Gone, well played, old played there, Yeah,
delightfully subtle, delightfully Oh I see the saffron just just
hits towards the end. There. That's that's very well played.
Speaker 3: You get me on the right one time. Because we
went out last week, people on my Instagram would have
seen maybe Jesus McBride's beyond this comfort level here. We
went to a fancy restaurant and it was a ten
course taste and menu inspired by the Chipper, So everything
on the ten courses was like something from the Chapper.
So you had like, okay, this is good. Crowd borger
was you know a little.
Speaker 1: I'm my my two parts of my brain are fighting
right now what you said, because that is the most
hipster counting I've ever heard. But at the same time,
I want to try every bit.
Speaker 3: Of a xample those cheesy chips what they call cheese chips.
But it was like a arc with slippers.
Speaker 1: It was fun too.
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, I gotta tell you Tim to come
out with. It was only a we bowl of it,
right and and I and I was like, I am
classy enough to know that that is delicious, but I
am unclassy enough to know that I would eat a
topperware bowl full of that straight out of.
Speaker 1: Sitting at the end of the stairs with with no
shoes on or no pants.
Speaker 3: And fucking licked the bowl of it. But I will
tell you what it had at the dessert was the
thing that I have never tried, and this was my
first opportunity to eat it. The most unglamorous food in
the most glamorous of sentence, Tom I ate at Deep
Fried Marsborough.
Speaker 1: Why the fuck me, I tell you something this is
It's been a day of the of certendipitous kind of
weird telepathic things right the last twenty four hours. I
had not thought about such a food product at Deep
Pride Marsborough until the father out of nowhere of nothing yesterday,
and I was did a barbecue yesterday, by the way,
made the burgers myself, of course, but only because I
couldn't find burgers, so I got mins and got them
yolks from from the little oak pressoak from Find Job,
Find Job. I highly a yoke for a fiver that
fair works. I'll tell you that now. I was very
happy with it, because these fucking things for a fiber
never work. But the old man out of nothing, nothing
deep pride on the menu at all. He just threw
back in the chair, went to rid a deep pride.
I went, what did you because he lived in Scotland
for years, And I went, yeah, and the deep pride
crime eg and the deep pride twirl and I've had
a deep pride agus. I've had a deep pride and
fries mint and all all unequivocally fucking disgusting.
Speaker 3: The deep ride Mars bar is chewier than I would
have thought would be. I would have thought all would
have went to motion in the middle of it, but
it just sort.
Speaker 1: Of I think it fights itself on the inside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but there, I'll tell you. I'll tell you
how wankey. The place I was right, go on. It
was a deep red marsh bar out of a box
of celebrations.
Speaker 1: Oh so there were mini ones, it was they were
many ones.
Speaker 3: It was a many tiny one, a fuck off in
the middle of the place, just like a celebration size.
Speaker 1: They dropped you out. Okay, So that in itself, I'm
not gonna ask the price of this meal chair, but
that in itself was about four cents.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. On the play at sixteen inches wide. Oh Tom,
what are you gonna do with this new fan foody status? Brother?
Speaker 1: I do you know what I put up? Because I
love this place so much, because I perform it there
and awful three sixty pat down on Garvin when you're
feeling fresh, I'll get you down here. You weren't you
were down there? Were you once?
Speaker 3: No in then Garvin?
Speaker 1: Yeah at the gig? No, No, you weren't. You weren't
actually at this one. You couldn't make it. And you
will see what I'm talking about. And I love the
promoterem and stuff like that. And I took a picture
of the fucking things and I took what the fuck
did you just do? And I just put the cap
many clubs handle on it. And when because people have
seen you post it and I don't know, Jerry, I
think I'm going to run back into the woods with this.
It's like somebody has gotten their first taste of freedom
or first taste of something that's against the religion. I'm
not fully ready to go across the fucking road to
this to this temple just yet to get me like
I'm just I when it arrives on because I have
another very fairly fancy joint on Thursday night that I'm
gonna be eat net and I'm going to just see
what they make me a hang sandwich, just because I
know what will come out. Otherwise he'll come out and go,
do you want to caramelize on this Snashbourg and all
the hollandais?
Speaker 3: You know, I just take it. I'll just take a
club so much please, Yeah, yeah, with a ram and.
Speaker 1: Because that's what I need to be careful, because I
know what happens to me with these situations. Before I
know it, I've gotten fuck wearing round glasses, you know
what I mean, collarless, fucking butting up shirts, I know,
and I've got that. Have you seen have you noticed
some of these lads? Have you copped it? Like these
we'll call them food the influencers, And I can think
of three or four of them, and I get on
with one or two with the lads, but they've lost
the fucking rounded themselves completely where you know they had
like a Michaels or Mary's or you know, the big
five upbringings. Yet now they've found their accent that started
to go about north side if you know what? And man,
have you and you know they find themselves driving. Yeah,
and they're driving a transit because there, you know, that's
all to the aired fellas at the end of the day.
And you're like, now a coast twenty grand a year,
send you to school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not. We're not.
Speaker 1: We're not buying it.
Speaker 3: Come on now.
Speaker 1: But I so I need to be careful. I don't
end up there, but I do like a good trades person,
and that's what I had in my head. I'm like,
that's the fucking master craftsman back there, whoever whoever's back there,
and he actually passed out. He kind of looked over
and I would give him. I gave him a salute,
now jar, I didn't give him a what I think
other mincers would give a shit if you know, kind
of get yeah, do you know, like who like tip
of my cap kind of thing. I give him a big.
Speaker 3: Give him a big tombs up, and then it was
a tom braw has fallen from your chewing mouth and there.
Speaker 1: Was a tombs up gave him and then all fairs
he gave me one back and that was it. There
was none of this, I captain, you know, because I could.
I've been in those environments where they say ship like
afternoon captain to people who aren't captains at all, and
they introduced their wife by saying things like this is
a broduce my my first wife before. Yeah, no, I don't.
I've done well defend off the Count, the Count, because
I've been around a lot of them, jared down for
the years. But I think there's a died in the wool,
scummy country fucker in me that just can't you know,
I have ibags sliding down the hill, you know what
I mean? This? You know, there's that you know, and
this maybe it's this podcast just grounds me. Like you know,
they say, now you're supposed to go ground yourself out
the outdoors, you know, right right right, you know, you
get get in contact with the earth just to balance
back out your pH and everything like that. I think
this is what the podcast does. It just brings me
back down to earth. And I live in the sticks
now with a bunch of goats.
Speaker 3: So this is this is this is like the kind
of thing where you just point to it as plausible deliability.
I couldn't possibly be a count. Look at the lad
I talk for an hour every week and then.
Speaker 1: Jumping bride box into the currently mustache and moncle Eddy
farding good.
Speaker 3: Here to me. Well, while you were having that wonderful
experience in Tom, it's no, it's nice to like nice
thingsn't need to be ashamed of that point, I hear you.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, no, no, I can't like
nice I know I can't have nice things. I'll have them,
they can sneak them up on me, but I will
not be a person who will allow themselves to become
because one week you'll turn on the camera here and
you'll say, Okay, who ait Tom, You're looking at a
twenty three stone man sitting here with a tiny mustache
stuck to his face, going.
Speaker 3: So the food was working out worlds, Can you come
pick me up? Because I don't fit my car anymore.
Speaker 1: That's where things will run away on me. If I'm
not mean to myself, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3: Well I'm about to be very mean to myself, Thomas.
I'll tell you what else happened to me at the weekend.
Because it was a bank call of the weekend. You
got to find jobs to do and ship like that, right,
So I harmred a job on the garden a week.
Speaker 1: Ago or so and did you create just did you
create this job?
Speaker 3: Or was this I wanted to do this? Okay, right?
Speaker 1: Fair? Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was not a yellow pad
notepad left.
Speaker 3: Now the garden and you know what, I'm not talking
about it like the acreage, Tom, it's the gardener.
Speaker 1: They're all a pain in the ballocks.
Speaker 3: And yeah, but we got we hammered a job and
it is nice and melt by rockery and all this
kind of crack. And here's the thing, right, Normally in
the Tom and Jerry Show, we'd have a segment called
we Remember when. We don't have this this week. It's
just bullshitting and chet chadding. I'm having a great time.
I'm gonna tell you it's lovely. I hope the listeners
are to this. Maybe this is like everybody pieced out
after five minutes. But here we are. Ah, so there's
no we remember when this week. But I'll tell you
one thing, Tom, if it was, I'd be saying, I
remember when I was fucking stronger, buddy, go away, yeah,
go away. I was found sorely wanting were you.
Speaker 1: This is a thing that this is a thing that
i've I've I kind of been documented with my friends
or people that I know, because there's certain things I
can do now better than maybe because I'm gone craftier
and do you know what I mean, I'm not lifting
like a fucking clown like I used to, but I've
definitely noticed my grip strength is still fine, right, but
definitely things that I would fucking hoo fup onto my
shoulder once upon a time, Like I got a fucking
board there one day and I stare heavy enough. Yeah,
but if you have the technique, are all right, And
it was a it was no speedboard eight by four
and other ones.
Speaker 3: Fuck well, your jury, meet your brother Tom right here.
Because I went up to Woodies in Blanchstin this weekend
for two bags of bark mulch to shake out on
this little rockery that I okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
know there are but the size of a bag of
pete moss, but they're like a flat, ignorant bag. He's
seventy five liters of bark mulch whatever that confers to
in kilo crams. I didn't check. No shout out for
Woodies and Blanche they don't sponsor the show. But two
bags of this ship for eighteen euros not bad? Is
that not bad.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, that's two. That's the two and only bags of
bark multi ever buy in my life. So you might
buy it for a five or elsewhere? Did you put
bad for me?
Speaker 1: Did you put down a bit of weed barrier at first? Okay?
Fair enough? Oh yeah, because you yeah, you'll be waiting.
You would absolutely have just wasted eighteen euros if.
Speaker 3: You Oh yeah, you just gave weeds a wonderful place
to grow. Yeah. Ah, And I went down into the
garden section, I said, two bags that yet there go
and I put as you would and have done hundreds
of times, isn't the ute throughout your life? You put
one bag on top of the other. Yeah, and threw
the two of them up on your shoulder. Yeah. That's
when I realized I made a fucking dreadful mistake.
Speaker 1: Tom, because you're ready to put one hand on the hip,
one hand up on the top.
Speaker 3: And off you go. And if you go, oh no,
maybe one day Tom, long ago. Not anymore. It goes
very first time in the longest time that I've had
my strength tested and found myself sorely one.
Speaker 1: Did everybody see.
Speaker 3: Everybody in the shop because I'll tell you what's better again.
I went all the way through the shop to the
garden center to get two bags of mulch. Could have
got a trolley, didn't bother Sure there's only two bags
of multi.
Speaker 1: In my head, I was thinking, Yeah, should just light
enoughout stuff like this is awkward more than anything else.
Speaker 3: No, it's also fucking heavy or maybe you know what
I'm gonna tell you, maybe not that heavy. And I'm
even weaker than I thought, because I thought it'd be
like two bags of Johnny the two bags of compound,
throw it up and shoulder. The grand threw these two
bags up on my shoulder. I fucking buckled tom right,
and I have to walk the whole way through the shop.
It escaping me, you know what I mean. And you're
you're trying to hold it up on your shoulder like this,
and then all of a sudden it becomes in front
of you and you're holding your You're holding it like
a like could carry an unconscious body out of a
firing Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And all this to say, I got it all. I
I was hissing sweat, yeah, and I got it all
the way up to the counter and paid for it.
And that's when I realized I have a palette without.
Speaker 1: The front, because I was gonna say, you can already,
it's not really sitting down to the front.
Speaker 3: You have snoop. Yeah. I didn't need to do that
at all.
Speaker 1: So many stupid things in play there, but there's so
much a play here.
Speaker 3: And then I had to get it from there out
of the car. Okay, that much I did have to do,
and the wee man with me, and I was like,
you know, because it was it was good for a
father and son to go out for a day to bond,
for a son to see his father buckled like a
weakling under what it appears to be not a heavy thing.
Speaker 1: I look, we can tell if you were strong one time, if.
Speaker 3: You like I was strong one time. So but I
give him the keys and I was like, you know,
when we get to the car, I need you to
open the boot because I won't be able to get it.
I just want to throw these into the boot. So
I needed to open the boot. And like he's doing
his he's doing his level best. But at the same time,
I'm like, move, you're in me away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the way you've kicked him in the ankles
three times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I Tom, it's it's
it was so amazing because like you know, you and me,
we would have went to the gym down through the
years and at the same time we were never in
a place where things were too heavy. No that it's
meant twenty five kilos like a quick set title compound
goes twenty kilos two, three or three of them up
to your shoulder and away you go about your business.
And you know later in life you just don't get
asked to carry heavy ship around the place. And if
you do, it's what a bucket of paint and you
carry it out like it's very rare on a day
to day basis, you're asked just pick that up, especially
for people with soft hands like you and I have
grown to be. But just like you were tested with
a sheet of os B board that again, Tom, I
remember a time I would and you would. I would say,
carry two of them a piece. Yep, yeah, problem no, no,
with the balance of it. You could carry two sheets
of it and there was no hope to two of
them were getting Not a fucking prayer, No, not a prayer.
I wouldn't carry a sheet a play with right now
and die They I think they always be quicker than
the os B board.
Speaker 1: I think is even it even felt more awkward with
plus is eating the hands off you in everything right
the ship? Yeah, weed a big seal kind of stuff.
It is funny you say that because you don't. I
think too it is you don't get one thing to
be There are set numbers now that you get asked
to lift. Do you know what I mean? You go
five kilo, ten klo, No problem because that's the thing. Yeah,
no problem at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, paint.
Speaker 1: You know, it's never more than twenty kilos these days.
So when you don't kind of stay in the flow
of throwing fifty up on the shoulders all day every day,
forget about it like now. And I don't think it's
just I think it's just atrophy of muscles from putting
through the ringer life, you know, in the words of
being victory has weakened you, Victory has defeated you. It's well,
it's a good times create soft men, Isn't that it?
Like you said?
Speaker 3: But God damn it, Tom, I didn't think I was
going to get buckled on the two bag. I got
the garden done nice though, don't you worry about that?
Speaker 1: I'm sure put. I mean, I'm so tempted now to
go into Woodies and get seeking out.
Speaker 3: With you see what McBride's crying about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just to But you know what this is
the fucking awkwardness alum too, Like because of somebody. If
you get if you've got a backpack with say thurty
kilos in it, not a bother. Mean, it's on your back,
you know, you you rip it around the place, no
fucking bother. But when you're getting tasked with throwing two
awkward fucking bags up in yours, the technique is an
awful thing.
Speaker 3: Like like I got them to the counter on the
shoulder just kind of, and then to get them out
of the car, I just kind of I put them
standing up and I got them in kind of like
a bear hug.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the only thing you can do.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I had my hand holding wrist around it
like a bear hug and walking bump bump bump, and
like I was just like hand, please hold that wrists
like the star trip hanger. I was just like please
hold on. In the car park, I will not pick
it up again.
Speaker 1: How many fathers in that place saw you good that.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of you know, a lot of
the younger lads were looking at me like Jesus Christ,
look at this fucking jelly leg. No man, and a
lot of the people my age or older were just like,
go on, McBride. We believe in that you can do it.
We can do it. If you can do it, we
all can do it. We're rooting for you here. Man
was like, God, he's come on, we'ren company.
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, give it another
couple of years now, and you will be doing this.
I want to be attended, This want of these to
be up on either shoulder.
Speaker 3: All is to say, Tom, I'm I'm quitting the running
and I'm going back to lifting a wee bit of
weights because I can have That happened.
Speaker 1: To No, you can't, it's it's it quite literally, was
only put to me by the bye And he said,
and we we have a load of the gear down
at the parents place, and finally I've made space with
the window boards have been caught the majority we're up.
We're down to the last two. And yes, so I'll
now have space to put the gym gear and you're right,
fucking strength. Strength is actually everything. It's not it's you helped,
will follow strength. Like if you have a bit in
his strength at all, you'll be fine.
Speaker 3: You'll be alright, You'll be all right.
Speaker 1: I ceo. Man still as strong as a fucking bull, Like,
he's alright, Like he's a hernia now in his seventies
from what lifting ship like. But it was he reckons
that happened. He was up. He was cutting a fucking
tree a couple of weeks ago, right anyway, but that's
another story. But I know all I laugh and give
out him for fucking this, that and the other. He's
still as strong as a fucking bull because he's still
horse and that stuff. I'm sure. Do you think the
man is ever sick? Never, because he's just the body
is just fucking strong. Like so, I think I think
there's a valuable lesson to be learned in that year.
Speaker 3: Enough is enough, it's time for a change with a
bit more show to go, Tom, Yeah, what were you
up to there the weekend?
Speaker 1: It was a good weekend. These were to be fair,
I don't I do you know what people go and
were you here?
Speaker 3: Were you?
Speaker 1: I don't get to get out that often because I
go to gigs and we go to we have sports
with and whatnot now involved with. And this weekend we
kind of went, let's cut cut loose, let's head head
away on out and we went and met with an
old friend of ours and her son. We went to
our heritage Heritage festival in timahoeih is just is a
beautiful little village just outside Port Leash. You'd nearly think,
for the want of a better phrase, you're in like
the Yorkshire countries right in that there's Stone Timahoe. Beautiful
little village of course. And what they had was it's
built up and built up over the years. And because
it has a medieval tower and is a medieval kind
of the around tower and all the rest of it,
what they've done is they brought in hm reenactment people. Okay,
so what there wasn't the we walked in.
Speaker 3: The gate, humor changed, tom So we walked.
Speaker 1: In the gate right, and now sure wasn't. But what
I was expecting at first, I was going, this is
going to be pure, you know, growing up like LARPing,
like you know this LARPing crack. Yeah, But I said,
I walked in and the first thing we saw was
a group of people and I said, I just got
the senses. There's a fucking fight here, a fight. And
your man said. Your man's beside me, says, give me
up on the shoulders, and I got him up on
the shoulders. Anyway, they're they're fighting, said, who's fighting? I
can't see, And I made my way down. These are people.
This is actually competitive league throughout Irelander. So there. Remember
we talked about those mad fuckers and the different types
of m m as they were, Yeah, well it's here
that night fucking ship where they dress us nights and
they beat the fucking tar out.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is this is not messing.
Speaker 1: This is going for points. You're scoring for points. Two
for Ahead, two for the Turso, one for Leger. Arm
fully kitted out but done in a more modern style
than that. They've got padding underneath their head and stuff.
But there's men fighting women. They and I mean they
are fucking I mean definite concussions coming out of this.
Like there's people's belt. The one guy at a morning
Star tried to choke a woman to dead with it.
Somebody else, Yeah, fucking immense. Your man is gone fucking
furl up on my shoulders.
Speaker 3: Love.
Speaker 1: He's foeman at the fucking mouth, going this might be
a bit, and we're in there forty five seconds a right,
and like I can't fully it was fucking brilliant. I said,
how does this?
Speaker 3: How does someone get involved in such a thing?
Speaker 1: I was looking on I want to fucking go because
it was like an out lad. He looked, he looked,
he looked tasty, like you've been out of a few years.
So he was he was good on points, but like
and that was kind of the short sword fight. So
you and then you go for a long sword because
like your man gets excited. He's like, now it's a
fucking long sword. Now they're going to take you other
fucking heads that boy. Yeah, I mean when they connected
with the long swordier it was like bom, Like they're stretched,
they're doing knee sweeps, they're fucking stomping each other like
it's immense. Then they put three against three jar and
there's okay, there's no points. You just gotta get an
opponent to the ground. So there's two on ones, there's
three on ones. There's fucking people getting smashed over the
head with morning stars there's like it's it was really was.
Speaker 3: I did a quick google here and it seems to
be the pardon me for butchering the Viking of it
all here but Treasure Gule t r g A t
r j E g u L Tragical Reenactment Society is
an active living history and combat group based in Northern Ireland.
But I guess they traveled around the place.
Speaker 1: You know, these were the Knights of Munster were fighting
like these were this was This wasn't a reenactment group.
Chair they these were actual competitors they from sure they
compete at these on show, but there's actual This was
like an expot of boxing.
Speaker 3: Okay, Actually these guys seem to be all the same
thing because they do seem to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh Jesus looking hell, they beat the rocks out
of each other. It was fucking great to watch the.
Speaker 3: I think I'm looking at it here. It's on the
Leash People facebook page. Mayhem a Timaho.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think what you might be looking at
is what I'm coming up to in a second. So
this isn't there's Viking re enactment people there as well.
That a line of them, because.
Speaker 3: These are these are kind of Viking looking people like, yeah,
so this was a completely different thing together.
Speaker 1: This is where the I realized where things are utterly
furl at this stage. But now the day was lovely.
We had fucking coffee I met. But the guy he's
been on TikTok, he actually gave me some great advice.
He does a lot of finishing off timber and making
of timber products player and he's he finished like great
stuff from making small small like milking stools and stuff
like that, all by hand, you know, And it's great
to watch. It's great. And we go up and we
go up to what it's called the Viking village, and
they've got things for sale that they've made by hand
and stuff, and there's antlers here. But then I started
noticing like there was people that weren't selling anything at all. Right,
there was full families who were all chips across the
table into this I mean, barefoot like and and very
accurate clothing, you know, no, yeah, nothing fancy about like
they were like there was one family sitting there cooking
up like what looked like rashers, just biting chunks of
cheese off a big block of cheese and stuff like okay, one.
The old man was just the outful of was just
sitting there like stringing a bow, you know, and the
mother is playing some sort of loot or something like. Okay,
you people are really really into this.
Speaker 3: You love this.
Speaker 1: And there was lots as I know, then there was
more and more people who they this is their thing.
Every weekend they're off doing this, just being just being
medieval people, just peasants.
Speaker 3: You're going to be a medieval person, be a Viking,
you're going to be a grizzly. This is where I
don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want
to cause play or larp tom as like a peasant.
Speaker 1: No, And these people did, right, I'm like, what are
you okay? All right, maybe that's where you're thinking. And
I thought that with the Vikings, I think seemed very interesting.
And we went around and saw the hurdy gurdies and stuff.
But you could say there was somebody I could sense
from the lad there was some unsatisfied fucking fury building
them in it. And does he need food or something?
What's wrong with him? Like he was just getting a
bit westby with things like what they hungry?
Speaker 3: Son, you're thirsty?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Nothing was getting across the line with him, was like,
did you want a toy sword?
Speaker 3: I have a toy sword. We made it. Oh yeah,
we made.
Speaker 1: What. Sometimes you just need to spot the science that
you just need to let let a child loose on situations.
And at twenty past one, my wife went, oh, Jesus
is twenty past one? I went, okay, we have to
head back down to the re enactment area. All right,
Just they're more the Nights Fellows chopping the heads off
each other, because no, there's a there's a Viking group.
They put on a reenactment and stuff like, all right,
let's head back down.
Speaker 3: Okay what I saw?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, I'm sure if you look at one of
those videos, you can zoom in and see what's a
tiny version of me going straight to fucking Valdala. Oh
my sweet suffering Jesus. We get down there and there
where it's like twenty two minutes past, there's a line
of these guys and they're brilliant, they're great, they're they've
got all their they've got their shields all linked. And
the opposite of them, they've got this group of volunteer
kids that really want to him to go with smaller shields,
and the shields are they're wrapped in inch pipe instilation
for safety or whatever. The kids are all excited. They've
got you know, the year round and stuff, and there's
a Viking on their side and it's supposed to be
the Irish fending off the Vikings, and your the former
shield wall and step and step and step, and they're
banging their shields and they're screaming and hollering at you,
and eventually then you get to theirs and you shove
them back as best as you can and they go
backwards because they're adults and they're.
Speaker 3: So not very true.
Speaker 1: But yes, and my fellows, I look over, Mifel has gone.
He's already garnered like five or six lads, like who
the fuck's he talking to? And it's going full Lord
of the Flies. I can see it. I can see it.
I can sense it. He doesn't know these fellows, a madam,
they don't know each other, but they have one mission,
and that's to fucking kill somebody's mustering it. They they
head out onto theirs and Mifel is front and center,
and there's the shield wall is forming, and they're told
to step and step and step and the man just
loses fuck this shield down to his side, runs bald
headed for everything he has, leaves him everybody behind, totally defenseless,
leaves a gap in the wall, dives straight in over
the fucking shields of the Vikings, goes afe. Shit, I
can hear next thing. He bursts back out their own
laughing but just pretending like he's got no shirt on
at alder. I don't know how he lost his shirt,
his t shirt.
Speaker 3: His Viking was hindering his swing.
Speaker 1: He lost it. He went. He's screaming at the sky
like a fucking BeO wolf. Right. The others all break rank,
think this is the fucking thing. The man's trying to
keep control of this situation like Jesus Christ. So he
gets them all back. He gets them back, and it's
all great fun. He gets them all back. They're all laughing.
A man puts his shirt back on begrudgingly, and they
give him another go. Now it's probably not a good
idea because now his blood is up. Now he has
a blood lost. Like this is great, So they formed
the taste. It all goes according to the plant scond
time round. But they're shoving him and the vikings are
to break free and you're supposed to kind of Oh no,
I fell over. I saw him leg sweep a fucking
man that was genuinely trying to run in a wronger
in another direction. He leg sweeped him. Then a shield
maiden fell over to feign you know, dying or whatever.
You're right, And he saw an easy target there and
actually tried to kill that woe with his shield and
they jumped up. She had to shield her face. He
jumped up on her shield two feet and started smashing.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, Jesus, he's your child. He's your child.
Speaker 3: Okay, kid, is this Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: They actually had to peel him off. The woman he
went and then he throws down the shield short off
again and to the entire audience gives the two fists
up like and what was worse? They all cheered, of course, yes,
so now and this poor woman, she's probably an accountant
during the week, like she just she just got it
like first one full of probably brow out his a
C L. And now she won't be proud. I would
have imagined definitely has a concussion because she was getting
the full tilt of a shield down into the face
of her shield that was hopping off her head and
not announce the sympathy. If anything, the child got applauded
for trying to kill this person.
Speaker 3: Do you know what the Vikings would have needed? Tom
a little bit of pepper spray, you know.
Speaker 1: And it was only after that in his camy, his
cam as could be. After that, then he sat down
for a little cake and everything. He was like that
was that was good, but shook it off like nothing
had happened, like wipe the slate clean, like can we
do it again in three minutes? Like no, no, that
should be the highlight of your year.
Speaker 3: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Man? You just got an adrenaline dump like nobody I
know had has this weekend.
Speaker 3: You know. Do you know what he wanted? That said Sam? Right,
it was like, uh like a turkey leg and and
a flag in a key aura like you know, like
followed out and yeah, yeah, yeah, dog lug.
Speaker 1: He went over and immediately there was a guy who
was he was selling a photograph to pose with one
of his birds of prey, and of course your man's
like I'll have everybody's going for the cute owls. It's like,
can I have that raven. Like the ravens about ten kilos.
I don't care, Like, no, the raven is too heavy
for your your young arms. Please, man, can I just
I no interest in the Owl's gonna just have the raven.
Speaker 3: It's like I can't.
Speaker 1: But it was just the discust on his face that
I was saying, I'll give you an owl. How's that?
He's like, all right, go on with your phone. Yeah,
but he was looking at the owl like the guy
was like, you want to rubbif and he's looking over
at the raven gun the raven thoughody, So yeah, it
would seem you're not my hands.
Speaker 3: You know, that's what my weekend for your body, I'll
tell you that much. But I'll tell you what we
had good weekends. We hope it lent itself to good podcasts.
And you know, I know the show has been a
little bit haiggily piggley. People who come for the standard
three course meal that we serve up might be curious
to find the taste in menu here today. But what
the hell's way over the times?
Speaker 1: Tom and Jerry Tappas, Tom and Jerry Tapas look at that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a thing that we've been trying to
get off the ground a little bit on the Tom
and Jerry Show, and we never could quite crack it.
And fuck, the day is as good as as any
to try it. And that is a little bit of
technological know how. We want to kind of share a
little bit of video of this, So we're going to
try and record this as a video and send it
out to you. It might be a success, it might
be a successful failure. Let's find out. But the topic
we want to talk about is something we've talked about
dozens of times.
Speaker 1: Dear to our heart, that's a stage now, dear, it's
dear to our heart now, Dear to our heart of
the stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we've talked about this dozens of time times.
And it's the Glass Shore Cheese Rolling Festival and Cooper's.
Speaker 1: Hill, Cooper's Hill. I was gonna say clark Sill, but
it's Cooper's Hill, Cooper's Hill.
Speaker 3: She's rolling big wheel of gloss or cheese down hill.
And that took place this week gone by, and we
couldn't put it out as a news story because we've
done it six or eight times already. But what we
might be able to do, Tom, go ahead, what we
might be able to do is commentate upon it.
Speaker 1: Do you know what? This is an ideal scenario because
we talked about talk comment along as before, whether it
was fights or racist or do you know, even the
pb as the case might be. If we talked about
doing possibly doing the PBR, which was only seconds, there
would be a novel ideal short form content if you yeah,
I suppose, but to be fair right up our street
and I sent one on to you to actually this
week just the week gone by, the and again north
of England, the Gravy Wrestling Championships. Yes, and not half
as sexy as you think. It sounds like it's not.
Speaker 3: In the words of the movie Observant Report, I thought
it was going to be funny. It just turned out
to be really said, Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was creepy back when you watch it, but I
just still I still wanted to see it.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, what we have here is courtesy of a
of a of a YouTube channel channel called live stream Events.
Shout out to those guys. We've got a live stream
of this year's Gloucester or Cheese Rolling Festival, several downhill races, people, people,
if you've never heard of it before, The British love
this festival where they take a wheel of cheese and
roll it down a big, massive steep hill while people
chase down after Yeah, every year they're separated, shoulders hips
knocked out a joint concussions of plenty.
Speaker 1: I would say, there's you know, a lot around, a
lot of like race courses and stuff like that. You'll
find like veterory clinics. Do you know, you'll find things are,
things are where they're supposed to be. I can promise
you there's a lot of chiropractors and physios near Cooper's Hill.
Speaker 3: I promise you there. Well listen, they'll tell you we're
going to take a look at it here. Tom. If
I do this correctly, you may be able to record
my screen.
Speaker 1: Let's just try this be great if account podcast. But
you know this is a film that I'll drop it
in afterwards. Oh yeah, there we are when you're there anyway,
I don't know, am I there?
Speaker 3: There we go? If any of this, if if you
see any of this at home, you won't get to
see my top secret desktop. Tom, please cut that out.
It's got sensitive information.
Speaker 1: I see nothing sensitive whatsoever. We're looking at the hill now,
which in fairness, the angle hill, frocky angle. This is
a serious, serious kill. So up the top there's a
couple of lads seemed to be out in front, which
is a bit on the cheeky weeky side. So we
have a lad in blue laden black. I think I
think I saw a snapshot picture this earlier today because
we knew we were going to be talking about. I
think he's in full like motor gp overalls. That lad
that is stressed all in black.
Speaker 3: You know, not a bad idea to run this down
with a motorbike out. That would be about the thin
far because as we're about to get into here with
the first men's downhill race is casualties a plenty. Tom.
The races themselves take about ten seconds. Ah, I'm gonna
click plan here now, body and see what we see.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, after you go. So we've got four four
up in front really in a videographer and we go,
he's gone.
Speaker 3: He is gone.
Speaker 1: The guy like he bounced straight back up off his
hole or the bluefell is gone again. Oh Jesus Christ,
Oh Jesus Christ, all the Jesus Christ. Okay, there are
lads who I mean, there's no coordination and there's here
like this is what gets a.
Speaker 3: Cooper hill is that you think it's a hill, I
can run down it, and then you get a couple
of steps and feet failure.
Speaker 1: There's it seems to be like there's lads get back
up and they're going this seem to be like three
hills in one. Let's have another gander and let's have.
Speaker 3: This is This is the second men's downhill. We're not
going to get straight into it here, but Tom, if
you if you're there's a guy on the left. They're
just flipping like he is just to run and the
feet go from here, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's the guy in the white T shirt. Keep an
eye on him now as he comes down on the left,
it is penom like he like he has broken so
many ribs it's not even funny. All it's gonna be
a pelvis cracked, there's gonna be a knee pulled out,
a giant.
Speaker 3: It must be notre time that everybody in this race
is running under the Union Jack banner. So whatever happens
to them, they kind of deserve it. This is the
first men's downhill again, flip five feet.
Speaker 1: In four just over biscuits the whole fucking we're gonna
we're gonna let.
Speaker 3: This one roll straight into the second men's downhill here, guys,
we could be here all night comment and these people,
they really are just spantling themselves here. I see a
couple of helmets. That's why I see a couple of
people with no helmets. That's stupid, Tom.
Speaker 1: Do you know what dodger I think. If I think no,
no helmets, I think no, just let it up. The
lot at the back is wearing a Juli.
Speaker 3: Hang on a second, there goes the wheel and they're off.
Speaker 1: And they're down again, Like okay, there's a double halfway
down there, because it literally is just to bumbling human beings.
There's a double wammy halfway down, and it seems to
catch everybody who's on in good state. Like there's a
there's a villa in the back and he's just sliding
on his knee in arse and you're like what, there's a.
Speaker 3: Couple of people here even as we talk and still
coming down because they're going down like a child goes
downstairs on their bomb.
Speaker 1: No sorry, at this stage, No, you're you're just embarrassing,
like you know it well, I mean, there's nothing, no
bravado really in it. Albeit it's well worth watching. But
at the same time, like if you're gonna come down
on your arse, like there's a guy in the right
in the middle here now watching flip. Watch that guy
that's out ahead of everybody watching flip here.
Speaker 3: Now, if you're going to be a bearba grizzly here
they go.
Speaker 1: Off, he goes, and good god, the guy, he's got
a night.
Speaker 3: But here's here's what I want to tell you. Tom
and I did this. When I did the ball run
in Pamplona. People ask, like, you know, how do you
avoid avoid getting hit by a bull? Go around the edges.
I put it to you and the listeners of the
Tom and Jerry show that if you want success in
the thing, don't run down the middle where all the
humps and hollows are. Run along the edge here you can.
Can you follow my mouse there?
Speaker 1: I don't think you're even right there. I don't think
if you're going to get you might stay on your feet.
But I don't think you're going to gather any pace
because right above where your mouse is right now, or
your cursor is. But yeah, right there, that's a brand
new fucking hill.
Speaker 3: That's nobody's run that I would run along the outskirts
of it.
Speaker 1: I think knee out at the pace you're going to
come down there, I think you're going to blow in
thee out. I don't think there's any good way to
come down.
Speaker 3: There's really not, like just if you's a bad way
to come down. And that's like this guy here at
the back, not worth your while, showing of pal Come on,
that's you're buying around.
Speaker 1: For everybody like you on your feet. You absolutely nakers.
Speaker 3: Come on, all right, here we go. The women's down here,
and oh Jesus, oh Jesus, my theory of running out
to the side is a shot because one lastly attempted
that and she is still rumbling as we speak, Jerry.
Speaker 1: Every single competitor rum pulled like a shot cow and
a slattery yard, every single one. Now, I don't want
to speak ill. Some of my good friends are sports
with My good friends are cheese rollers, but geeseus. These
are not athletic people. Whoever they are, I mean they
like of course, they're not. Nobody of any sense who
has an idea to play a game. The following week
is going to try.
Speaker 3: And do this, but this is the ladies again. I
want you to keep an eyut for a lady in
pink and black trying to trying to run down the
middle here.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is gonna be nice, okay. And it's like simultaneously,
like five of them all went.
Speaker 3: Here, we go pink and black over on the out
skirts here and just comes busting like a bowling ball
down through it. She I'm sorry, she just got It's
like she manifests out an orders like she was sleeping
in a hole in the ground and just comes out
like what my hill.
Speaker 1: She's got a big Aren's head here too, which really
accents how she just bounced her entire head like that. Woman,
that's gonna have a concussion for six don't do anything mathematical.
Are hard for the next six months, woman, because you
just all your body weight just transported through your face
into the side of Cooper's Hill.
Speaker 3: Sweet Aston, Martin and Casino Royale.
Speaker 1: And not the one.
Speaker 3: There's people here just kind of walking down an inch
and down bit by bit. I'm sorry, I'm all for
not being concussed. But now last one here, Tom for us,
I think it's the third. It's the third men's downhill
and once.
Speaker 1: Again mister Red gone, he's gone, and he's gone again.
Oh Jesus Christ, that's nine rolls and ten eleven eleven roles. Amazing.
Speaker 3: I want to draw your attention Tom to this sort
of divod here in the hill. It's like a very deep,
ugly look and sandtrap in the middle of it. It's
it's the belly button of the hill. If you can imagine.
Speaker 1: It's almost like Jesus. If you're looking at it's almost
like the you know, the outline of us. This is
the human stomach. Yeah, like it's going to just devour
you when you hit it.
Speaker 3: Like well, even if for a guy in black absolutely
eating ship in that hole right here, look it as Oh.
Speaker 1: That's the ankle gone, that is the ankle. Yeah, you're right,
he was going so well did he hit the soundtrack?
Boom ankle gone, Night night.
Speaker 3: Not bye bye, have fun being carried home. And again
some guy just inching his way down at the top here.
Don't even go down to the bottom of it, life,
just make your way over to the crowd and pretend
you never did it.
Speaker 1: And it looks like it was it was dry weather too,
like so I mean that ground is going to be
bullet hard. It's not holding any water. It's going to
be like flint every time you hit off it.
Speaker 3: Good night. And then they do a thing Tom, and
I'm not even gonna bother sharing it here. They do
a thing called the uphill race, which is all these
self same people with the It may as well show
you a bit of it, all these self same people
with whatever faculties they have left, trying to run up hill. Ah,
I have no interest in this, do you know what?
Speaker 1: That's his fucking that's just puture now to stay because
you like, all these people already have injuries, do you
know like it's.
Speaker 3: Oh for you know, I would buy it if this
isn't going back up the hill looking for teeth.
Speaker 1: Most of them are, so you might there's that can
cost down with the fucking clue which actual direction they're
heading back up?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I want somebody to fall over. Come on, fall over.
You've come on fall over like it just looks like
a bunch of ambling cows who have just been left
out and.
Speaker 3: Made it up to the top of a fair play room.
Well there you go, Tom, That is the glosster cheese role.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for that. Now.
Speaker 3: We hope maybe that that will cut into some sort
of sharable video. Hard to say, but we'll be going
up on the social media pages before the weeks out.
That said, I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that. The God bless anybody who we don't
actually know who wanted and one date the role of
cheese at the very end of it. But I think
if anybody has won, it's the local medical practitioners have
really won, because they're.
Speaker 3: Going to catch the only winner here is gravity Tom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of sixty seventy euro
just visits over the next few months as a result
director result of that, Do you think anybody like has
Do you know there's there's old Jerry there in the
corner who's done it like five times.
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's the thing you ever did
twice in life.
Speaker 1: Nothing is on right, you know what I mean. He's
hips are backwards like he's.
Speaker 3: He's like a he man that you found out in
the rain, so smashed up, chewed.
Speaker 1: To fucking bits, the poor bastard. Yeah, fair play to
anybody who gives that a go. I'd like to go
see it like a lot of these things. I'd like
to go see it.
Speaker 3: And you know, if if anybody out there is book
and comedians Tom and Jerry will commentate on it. Here's
the thing time I mentioned the social media pages there.
If it's if our video of that is a success,
it's gonna end up anywhere. It's going to end up there.
You can follow us at Tom and Jerry. Tom would
a T Jerry with a G on Instagram to catch
that footage. You'll follow me over on Blue Sky Jerry
Pepper Spray Blue Sky at Jerry McBride and Tom o'
mattany's haunt of choice is Instagram. We've had plenty of
comments over the last little while, not least of which
I want to give a quick shout out to Bernie
Quinn over there on Blue Sky who asked all good podcasters,
including yourself and myself, and that Tom, you talk a
wee bit slower. Not the first time I've been accused
of talking too fast in my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same as that jet.
Speaker 3: But as we as we as we drilled into it
with Bernie had come to find out she had her
podcast set to one point five speed and Adie, I
can only imagine what the fuck we sound like at
one point five speed, although I don't have to imagine
it too much time because every now and then, I'm
sure you do this too. If a voice note from
Tom is over a minute, that's played a double time.
Speaker 1: No, I give you already benefit of that, because he
speaks quickly anyway. But I put him on one point
Almost everybody's on one point five.
Speaker 3: Everybody's on one point five, you know.
Speaker 1: And if it's if I see a four minute one
coming in from Jert, that's going to I get everything
I need in that moment.
Speaker 3: But Tom knows at this stage you can listen to
the last forty five seconds of that and get all
the information you need. I do.
Speaker 1: I do want to give a shout out to just
just to check in because we mentioned that we were early,
and I pulled the trigger early. I pulled the gate
open early on this one a month ago, and it
was on the PBR Championships when we talked about it.
It was it was won last weekend by of course,
the lad who was leading, John Krimber. He the twenty
year old phenomenon, took away one million dollars and got
the golden buckle. And yeah, he wrote it and Brady
Felder or Fielder, Brady Fielder came up, came second place.
But he had this kid and he did his he
did his standard walk off. He's making this shit look easy.
He's not even getting kicked. He's just walking. It's just
he's just yeah, no thing, twenty year old. And let's
see him run down Cooper Sill. See how will he fares.
Speaker 3: Man's going to do it. He's going to do it.
Speaker 1: Cutting back to the socials and the people that have
got involved on Spotify and on Instagram, let's let's let's
hear a little from them.
Speaker 3: Jar Well, you know, one segment from last week's show
that really lit up the social channels was school Tours.
We put a shout out for who was school tours
and we've got a lot of responses here. We got
stee over on Spotify. He says, longtime listener, first time commentator.
We love that, Tom Yeah, we love that.
Speaker 1: He again, he knows it, he knows it.
Speaker 3: And everybody was mad at me over this that we
mentioned all the school tours we went on and nobody
mentioned prisons because prisons were like a stalwart go to
destination for Irish schools. To take kids on a school tour. Now,
I personally was taken to kill mayinghum jail. I'm sure
you might have been as well.
Speaker 1: We went to kill men, now are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Like kids were taken to prisons, Like kids from the
country were taken up to Kilmainham jail to see where
Michael Collins was held, and all kids from the city
seemed to have been just taken to actual prisons. Went
to fucking Joy. See no word of a lie. Twenty
young lads and lassies from Talla, from the gael Skull
in Tala brought to spend the day in a bleeding prison.
He's not lying because when my wife listened back to
the episode, she said, why didn't you mention the fact
that I was taken into Mountjoy for the school tour?
Speaker 1: Oh you're missus, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Just like teenage boys and girls just brought into fucking Mountjoy,
walk down through fucking fucking wing.
Speaker 1: So you went to Carol's cigarette factory. I went to
Gleason's Countrey they went. So these all places where they're
just as so many the kids are going to end
up Like who's to say?
Speaker 3: Who is to say? You know, that's where you're going
to be. But yes, prisons were a big thing, and
I'm sorry we've got about it and I meant to
get prisons. My man over here on Spotify Mac says
that he grew up not that far away from you,
but all the fancy school tours you went, and going
to see the turtles and all that, and he was
brought to a local river to paddle in an oxbow lake.
Tom's like, yeah, that's them, four parish away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Shelby over there.
Speaker 3: Tom's like that was a good day out for them.
I don't know what he's giving out about. And we
had Pierce over here on Spotify as well, who Tom,
I didn't this didn't happen to me. I don't know
that happened to you. Got lost on a school tour
it was days about thirteen, and made it back to
where the coach should have been three hours after it left,
where there was just one teacher left behind, no phones,
no nothing, leave a teacher behind and pray to God
these kids wander back here. That's yeah. It was a
pre phone, the pre phone days, Buddy.
Speaker 1: I talked about the nature walk just up around our
way up here, and I had a teacher who was
a fucking tyrant. Yes, and she believed me as a
six year old that I knew the route better than cheated.
She believed me and allowed me to take the class
lead the class. I'm sure I didn't know where I
was going. I let him in all sorts of directions
and we absolutely got so late that the school buses
were going to just go without us. Like when we
finally got back to school, and she taught me that
lesson by pulling some nettles from the from the oak
winners with her sleeve and across my bare legs.
Speaker 3: I got cracked with nettles the whole Christ. Yeah, they
wouldn't have done that to our Lord. I know. We
are over on Instagram Dave chimes In who says that
they went from Dublin to Tremore, which Jesus, that's a strike,
that's And what he remembers is he got to go
to McDonald's for the first time, and I'm like, from
troublin in Tremore, so okay, not that here, buddy. But
at the same time, there was a Chinese lad there
and he says, first time ever been to the McDonald's.
First I've ever seen the Chinese.
Speaker 1: Great day for everybody, this is this is the eighties
and what I'm.
Speaker 3: Assuming the eighties or early nineties. Uh and at his
first portion of chicken nuggets. I remember being brought to
McDonald's when we were small. It was the McDonald's in
O'Connell Street. Yeah, remember vividly getting a border with just
red sauce, no nothing, yeah yeah, himself was still in
that round and we got brought to McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Was Jammers. It was Jornan Wonder I talked about before
one of the many marathons Stale that ran and we
went to Abraca Barbara and I can still never see
in your life. Vividly remembered they had a television playing
MTV in there eighties. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, but it was,
it was, And I can remember the song I Got
the Key Secret? How the fuck do I remember that year?
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm gona tell your man childhood last lifetime. Ye'ah,
lucky it's happened.
Speaker 1: I mean loads of actual important ship, not a hope,
but those those tiny nuggets, yeah, and those chicken nuggets
that I've got as well, class.
Speaker 3: You know, the delicious Blaine over on Instagram as well
a big day for Tromorrow. On The Tom and Jerry Show,
he also went to Tomorrow. He says he went to
splash World and Tramore so gave perhaps you were brought
to splash World in Toramorrow, which was like a split
splash around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's a good school tour. That's a good
school tour instead of just going to look at some
stone walls and stuff like that was typically what we
got brought to look.
Speaker 3: At again or indeed or indeed Tom d Block. Yeah,
and I'm gonna give you one last one here from
Nicola over on Instagram. Now, this is the most like
eighties nineties thing you ever heard in your life. This
is most like, you know, of its time thing, way
more common for O'Ryan.
Speaker 1: Like we talked no seat belts in the that kind
of style.
Speaker 3: This is this is like you don't get this anymore.
The school tour bus went on fire. Oh now, yes,
you just don't see good on the side of the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really true. Wow, that brings back do you
know what I would mind seeing a bus on fire just.
Speaker 3: You know, and we're not talking about like you know,
a bus on fire when twelfth up the north like this,
we're just calling on a bus that set out driving
in good faith somewhere along the way. Too much was
It wasn't like you know, oh my vappen fell between
the cushions and went and fire. The boss just drove
until it combusted.
Speaker 1: The sight of the fucking rustle so many so because
you know what, lads were fixing them themselves. That was
the problem.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Get we used to get the school our school buses,
not a coach that would take us somewhere, because I
was I had a bit more. But this, our primary
school buss was a better setup than the government issued
one that would bring us to school secondary school. And
that was a piece of ship that Dublin was done with.
We got we got pieces of ship to The rubbers
were so perished around the windows that like on a
frosty day, they would contract so much that they just
would fall out.
Speaker 3: You can pop the window.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would just fall out on the road. At
least nine times I can remember that happening.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. Nicholas says. One of the worst things
off it was that she had brought she had borrowed
a tape of the pixis from our brother to play
on the on the on the bus radio. The bus
went on fire and the tape melted with our brother
is still killing out. They never got his Pixi's taps.
Speaker 1: Okay, if we if we had a bug to send out,
that's you'd be getting the bug. There you go, that's
a cracker on the story.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, Tom, I gotta tell you a regular schedule
programming will return next week.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: But I dare say for a bank call on the weekend,
we might have some more bank call it the bladder schet,
and to go on in years to come, just to
keep things fresh here on the Tom and Jerry Show.
And hopefully that little technological experiment we did works out.
Don't don't show people the screen that flashed up with
my credit card number.
Speaker 1: There'd be absolutely no chance of that working, Jarr. I
can promise you now, just as the two of us
sit here looking with your hope in your eyes, I
can promise you the second I download this video and
you say night and have your second cup of tea,
I'll go through it and it'll all go white, and
then it'll be a long haired wet haired Asian girl
climb out of a well and look straight on the
cameras as a buss fucking burns and splash wort behind them,
and a bunch of prisoners. Good look, m
