Speaker 1: is Peers Brasenan and the very English Helen Mirren are
Speaker 1: doing very Irish accents now the now A lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of great British actors and actresses can do
Speaker 1: American accents like really good. The Irish one is don't
Speaker 1: bother right. It would have been fine to do your

Speaker 1: real strong where you're like, why whoa, whoa, whoa? Why
Speaker 1: didn't anyone go cutis what you doing? Oh yeah, well

Speaker 5: the game for me. Pimple patches. There are these tiny
Speaker 5: little clear patches.
Speaker 1: You pop them.
Speaker 5: If you can see one coming up, you put it
Speaker 5: on and it never emerges as a pimple.
Speaker 3: It's gone the next day.
Speaker 1: What does it do? Just push it back down, it
Speaker 1: comes through the top somewhere else.
Speaker 3: It protects it from the dirt, and it keeps it
Speaker 3: a bit moist. So it deals with that.
Speaker 2: Audrey has these all the kids at high school fantastic
Speaker 2: and camar to they Sports Girl even do them. It
Speaker 2: just draws all the muck out, so it's it clears
Speaker 2: up quicker.
Speaker 1: If I had this as a teenager, I think that
Speaker 1: might be nice, as if you washed your face.
Speaker 3: I have a very diligent skincare routine.
Speaker 5: But if I had this as a teenager, honestly, he
Speaker 5: would have changed my life because I'm bad acne as a.
Speaker 1: Kid talking about I'm skincare routines. Like, So last week

Speaker 1: then twenty minutes can bring myself to go on the radio. No,
Speaker 1: what else have you been enjoying this week?
Speaker 5: Rio, I've been loving Righteous Gemstones on binge. It is
Speaker 5: probably one of the best comedies I think at the moment.
Speaker 5: It is a dark comedy. It is if you liked Succession,
Speaker 5: if you liked Killing It, there was also on stand.
Speaker 5: You'll love Righteous Gemstones.
Speaker 1: It's so funn Danny McBride and obviously the man of
Speaker 1: the moment right now, Walton Goggins. He's been doing great
Speaker 1: work for years, but obviously because of White Lotus now
Speaker 1: everyone's waking up to what a graatge. But he does
Speaker 1: comedy really well, him and Danny McBride and Russia's Gemstones.
Speaker 1: You're right, it's one of the most underrated comedies the
Speaker 1: last couple years. People don't really waking up to how
Speaker 1: good it is.
Speaker 5: No one talks about it, and I mean stitches yeah,
Speaker 5: really farre It's so so good, very well done, and
Speaker 5: not many good comedies out on streaming at the moment,
Speaker 5: so I would highly recommend it.
Speaker 1: All right, we got the latest news and sport coming
Speaker 1: up next. The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast
