1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: Now.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 3: Back in the eighties there were some amazing TV shows,

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 3: and one of the most powerful ones for me was

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 3: The Fall Guy.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: This was a manly man.

7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 3: Who smelled of old spice, mahogany, leather, and toughness. He

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: would set himself a fire because he was a stuntman.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: But wait, for most of us, being a stuntman would

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: be enough. Not this guy. He also was a bounty

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: hunter and he sang his own TV theme tune, are

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: you the kind to kiss?

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: And tell? I'm not? And nor was my guy? Okay,

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Cult Severs, what a name?

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: A ridiculous name.

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: No it's not.

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: It's a strong name. I'm going to rename myself Cult O'Connell. Okay,

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: he's even clicking his fingers in a manly way.

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: That's me. I can't. I can't even do that because

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm not Cult Sievers. Is that commanding our respect?

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: A lot of that's not coming from till This is

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: coming from his hands. He's got natural rever he's so powerful,

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: great fire with his hands. Well, and what a voice?

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: Can any of us talk that? Well, I'm not the

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: guy you've got to smoke. You've gotta smoke a lot

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: of cigarettes and drink a lot of whiskey.

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: While I'm Nogamney Melbourne. How you doing well? I'm duke

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: you sent till but I haven't been seen with her up.

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: I've never been with anything less.

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: Than problematic lyrics, never been less name and your old.

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: We didn't know about that side of him my case.

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: Somehow they just don't end the basment.

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I take my chances. I'm living in the chorus coming up.

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: Soon, watchman, ladies so much. Don't look at you watched Jack?

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 5: We got all the time. We're here till night.

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, car cars, What.

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: A great line they're sharing. Hasn't got Jack on that?

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: Because I'm the unknown stunt man that made Redford such

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: a star.

40
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: Wow, I can't believe how much time they used to

41
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: use on TV intros back in the day.

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we didn't.

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: It goes for before Jack.

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: There was nothing else to do.

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: Okay, I can't believe they go to a second verse

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: after the chorus.

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: But what a great line.

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 3: I never spent much time in school, but I taught

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: ladies plenty again problematic. But I used to love this

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: TV show because he was a rough guy. He was

51
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: a stunt man. He was charismatic and what he was

52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: also a bounty hunt as well. We are side rustle.

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: If it didn't take it sounds so seriously, you would

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: think he was some kind of sketch chats. They give

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: him his errand so he goes and catches people on.

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't you still love it? Pats?

57
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chris actually had a full guy Lee Major's doll. Yes,

58
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 6: and they're very rare now ja go for a motza

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 6: and he had the doll. He reckons his best mate

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 6: stole it.

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's no friend of any man.

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: You could look through the back of his head and

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 6: he had.

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: Like like especially less than nine.

65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 6: I'm guessing a special bionic eye or something some sort.

66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: Of that's the six million dollar many.

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 6: No, Lee Major's had some sort of special thing in

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 6: the head of the doll. Anyway, he doesn't have it anymore.

69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: Lee Major. I did a lot of Lee Major's research

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: last night.

71
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: He was charismatic.

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: He also was a bionic fan, but not as a

73
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: stunt man.

74
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: Do you know what he was?

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: He was the original first trap. That man was a

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: walking smoke show. And I don't just mean the Marlboro

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Reds used to smoke as well. Hey hey, I'm my

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: far far matall building. Jack went back and watched an

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: episode Yesterday. You've never seen to day you?

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: How dare you? Did you fast forward up? Pennheimer, It's

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: just equally important.

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: Only from one episode. So when he's catching these people

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: who have skipped Bay all their criminals, he uses his

84
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: the skills that he learns as a stunt man in the.

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: World transferable skills.

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so within a minute he's jumping a fence in

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: his car.

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: That must be that. That was every episode and every

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: time he's done.

90
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: It, another locks again.

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: Now it's like Springsteen, He's going to do more to

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: run all right, I want Colt Seevers to jump the

93
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: fence and.

94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Then I do the hits cal.

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: Then I learned more about it, and it just was

96
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 4: way easier, I guess in the eighties to make a

97
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: TV show. So the guy who made it, a guy

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: called Glen Lawson. He made night Rider, he made Magnum

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: p I. The reason that he made this move, this show,

100
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: The Fall Guy, is because his friend had written a

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: song called The Unknown Stuntman, which became the theme tune.

102
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: He heard the theme tune, loved it goes Let's make

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: a tea show that out of that, then pitched it

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: to ABC and it got made.

105
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: It's a great idea. I wish more more.

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: I'll be happy to watch more TV shows that come

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: from songs. We've talked about this on the show Actually

108
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: The Gambler Kenny Rodgers. If Colt was still acting right now,

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: Lee Majors, that'd be great with his barnic eye, But

110
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: that was a different show.

111
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: Parts.

112
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: I think Patsy's getting confused, so you would not if

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: you were a kid right in.

114
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: The eighties, you would have loved this show.

115
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: You didn't have irony then irony had been invaded in

116
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: the eighties.

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: It was an irony free zone and was a lot

118
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 2: better than you would have loved this show.

119
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 4: I would have idolized the format, which I imagine is the

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: same Merory time they given him his assignment while he's

121
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: on set of a Hollywood movie doing his best time

122
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: to catch him. Then you know he's stirring his coffee

123
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: there giving him his assignment. Then at the end of

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: the episode he's caught the baddie, he goes back to

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: his stunt work.

126
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, now, they've They've made the Hollywood's Eating

127
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: Everything and everything is a remix. They've made this movie

128
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: and Patsy I was talking about how poor old Ryan

129
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: Gosling can't get many posters to promte movie.

130
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: And it's not opened very well. It's God sings a

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: megastar and he's brilliant.

132
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 6: It's only taken twenty eight point seven million UIs, which

133
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 6: sounds massive, but they thought it was.

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 3: Take twenty eight point five million.

135
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: Good God? Is he all right? Has anyone checked in?

136
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: Or Ryan?

137
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: If you're a friend, just text him? Are you okay?

138
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: Twenty eight point.

139
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: Five trailer for the Ryan Gothlin Fall Guy looks amazing,

140
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: But that's because I probably because I watched it after

141
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: watching that half hour apiade of it.

142
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: This is sacrilege. Hey, hey, Christian Connell's show podcast, do.

143
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: You know what one of those powerful sounds is? Well,

144
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: just that opening to the Full Guy theme tune sung

145
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: by the star.

146
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: Of it, Lee Major's.

147
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: Well is she clicking the world to sit down and

148
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: watch the TV show?

149
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: Because I'm about to tell you a true story?

150
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: Hey?

151
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: Hey, what you got for a unknown? Full Guy? Now?

152
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: Which has been talking about the original TV show, not

153
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: the big movie that's out at Ryan Gossing the original

154
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: eighties TV show that I as a young kid in

155
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: the eighties absolutely loved Jack Post went.

156
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Back yesterday and watched it.

157
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: Jack was not around in the eighties, and.

158
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: I think even if you watched it today you would

159
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: find it a little bit slow.

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to watch an end of the episode today.
