They're pulling out some sort 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.720 of sixth century meat or something. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.679 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.200 Patsy, what are you giving your double thumbs up to 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.240 this week? What are you into? 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.080 I touched on just before Scarecrow, which is a local 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.359 cover bear that does John Mellencamp cover songs. They are 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.839 celebrating their thirtieth anniversary at the moment, and they're going 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.760 on a little suburban tour. So they're at Chelsea Heights 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.040 Hotel tomorrow night. There's tickets at the door if you 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.720 haven't got time to get on online. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.160 And it's great even though last night, you know, I 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.600 was doing to stand up and they were only about 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.880 forty two people there, but just being able to you 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.280 know now Footi's back now and even at the comedy 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.440 festival being back and the pub that we were in 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.760 doing this gig last night, the Elephant and Wheelbarrow is 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.800 next door to Hamilton, so how a lot of people 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.360 were just going in for a beer before going to that, 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.320 and just the bus around town yesterday evening. It's so 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.320 great now that we've got choice of different things we 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.000 can go and see. So are they good? Are you 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:41.880 seeing them like that? 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.840 A brilliant Gary their lead singer even looks like Mellon Camp. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.800 They're just a really polished band. I first met and 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:48.960 saw them in the early nineties. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.119 He's had work, because sometimes you see a really good 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.040 tribute act and I think that guy surely didn't start 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.920 out looking at that. He's had a bit of cheap 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.520 work to look like that to get a few more 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.760 ticket sales. No, he's got some of the old DearS. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.600 Don't know. Actually, start to think it is. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.560 John he's him. No, there's an uncanny resemblance. But I 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:06.800 first saw them in the early. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.920 For a tribute band. Isn't it uncanny resemblance? Quite a 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.600 tribute act. That's what I'll be called uncanny resemblance such Springsteen. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.800 No, the love God helped me discover them. Actually, we 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.880 went to a local band in the town we grew up, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.520 and we've just loved them ever since. So if you 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.440 can't make it tomorrow night, you've. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.679 Been seeing them since you've started dating, Yeah. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.080 For thirty years.

He does not look like 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.680 ten beers. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.640 Anything looks good after ten beers and the other thing. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.680 This week, I have got onto this new dip.

It's just as good 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.719 as ketchup, just a little bit sweet chili dipping sauce. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.960 It's a close second. Can we agree on that? Then 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.040 a close second? You just mixed the two together. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.840 Oh really, I thought you're gonna say, like, I got 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.120 made my own pistol, and I got my pine nuts 0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:58.680 and I wiz them. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.080 You look at the simplicity of E equals mc squared. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.360 You don't need anything else on that same which same 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.279 with sold cream and all of that sweet dipping sort 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.320 very similar. I'll go and get a pen. You might 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.200 need to write down all these ingredients. The Einstein of 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.040 dip prep time five seconds? All right, real, what are 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.840 you giving your double thumbs up to this week? Man? 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.640 My double thumbs up? This might be the saddest start 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.760 to a double thumbs up ever. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.560 But it's not about those shoelaces. About fifteen minute advertura 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:27.840 from jack post last week. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.080 But on Sunday, I went to the movies by myself 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.240 on a Sunday afternoon. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.280 I love was bliss. So you need to worry about 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.840 if the other person's enjoying or not. It's so stressful. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:38.640 It was really nice. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.760 But it was broad daylight, and I went to see 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.680 Jackass Forever as a twenty nine year old by myself. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.280 No, there's nothing wrong with that, thank you. Jackass movies 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.440 are comedy gold. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.320 Oh my god. It was like not being ironic or 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.840 doing a bit. It was phenomenal, like, it was genuinely incredible. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.000 The cinema was bedlam. There were people shrieking. They had 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.000 adults covering their faces. At one point a lady just yelled, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.960 he's about to put a vulture. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.440 Desperate to go and see it, I say, I saw 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.360 the I've seen the first three and I think they 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.800 are genuinely in terms of what they do, which is 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.520 this pure comedy and entertainment, and there's nothing. I don't 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.320 think there's anything dumb down about that. I think it's 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.480 worth there's any other cinematic art form because it moves you, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.520 it entertains. It's really hard to make entertainment. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.040 People were cackling. There was at one point they light 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.240 a fart on fire underwater. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.520 This is what we need exactly. It really well, what 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.720 is though? That's subject that's a stormery. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:37.800 I go and see that. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.480 I don't want to go and see what you see. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.800 I don't want to see Bridgington. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.760 Oh how dare you? 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.360 Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not worthy. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:47.119 Exactly. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:52.319 Fun Putin watched all the Jackass movies. He pulled back 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:58.240 his In That Man's Life. I was sending my recipe 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.160 for my sweet chill he did so cream, beauty and 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.959 sweet he did.

You can call, you can text, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.000 and of course you can email. Nothing we ever talk 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.000 about the show is ever left completely behind. You can 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.160 pick it up whenever you want. We call it late 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:28.520 to the party late all right, some emails. This comes 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.360 from Lizzie Crawford black Eyes. We were talking about how 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.520 did you get your black eye yesterday, Christian. When I 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.640 was around seven, and this was before seat belts were 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.800 compulsory in cars. Hard to actually believe that they weren't 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.320 always compulsory. I remember when it came in like late 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.840 in the eighties. I think in the UK. My dad 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.520 was so angry, government telling me what I do in 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.760 my car sure is to stop me being catapulted your 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.840 prescuous son through the car. What's going to stop me? 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.160 The windscreen. My dad was so angry, would drive for 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.560 a while with just one arm, sort of threw it 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:03.600 like it was an affair. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.159 Was within a Dodgeum remember they had those straps in 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:07.920 the backseat that you'd hang on to. I had a 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.880 car that had one rhea you used to put your 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.440 arm through like this loop. This useless looper was jack 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:14.919 a belt? 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.000 Was it basically a belt? You just put your arm 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.560 through that. So basically the best thing could happen is 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.360 your shoulder would be dessiccated, even just a mild sort 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.400 of breaking off the car. Anyway, back to Lizzie Crawford 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.400
