51. Everybody Clapp Your Hands
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Having returned to Austin after a day in Dallas (dallas't place you wanna be) and Fort Worth (fort what it's worth), myself, Sloane and Felix found ourselves in a familiar formation around the kitchen table mic in hand, ready to welcome to the show for the first time Madison Clapp!
Together the four of us recap on our yester-day trip, making sure to sprinkle in some of the artist's work we bore witness to at a museum in Fort Worth ('bore' being the operative term). This gives the show some edge before we dull said sharpened edge with everything we say afterwards.
Having established ourselves as worldly and learned, we immediately dive into the iPod songs we thought defined our singular experiences in childhood but quickly find, thanks to Adam Sandler, that the illusion of individualism is a myth designed to blind us from the horrors of the hive mind we're all a part of.
Brushing that aside rather quickly, we recap on the month that was after last month's episode which included some Austin shows, karaoke and a renaissance faire.
That frees us up to dive headlong into the segments which sees us highlight micro-genius moments from the likes of the Flying Burrito Brothers, St Vincent, Chappel Roan and Olivia Rodrigo and discuss Phil Lynott's inability to consume confectionary effectively.
Make sure to stick around to the end so you get to hear the visceral disappointment in our new guest's voice when we get to Guilty Hatred's and then despair at the time you've wasted listening to these four specific individual's once Pete's Patent Pending comes to a merciful close.

50. Golden Jubilee've In Magic?
Monday Mar 18, 2024
Monday Mar 18, 2024
Our monumental, momentous milestone 50th episode is monumentally momentous and milestonic for multiple reasons:
1. It's the 50th one. (For those who struggle mathematically, drop 50 things on the ground and then count them, that's how many it is. It's the first right after 49, if you hit 51 you've gone too far.)
2. It's conducted from the back of a van.
3. It's conducted in the company of old friends that have stuck around, and new friends who have just started sticking around.
After filling you in on the a blazed trail that took its toll on our brittle bodies and weak minds after taking us from New York, back to Austin, to LA and then back to Austin again, we regale ourselves and each other with our hassle getting back after a long night together.
Having concluded we've all got questionable philosophies on arriving home at a sensible time and in a sensible fashion, we assign our Sex And The City elemental signs before cracking into the rest of the episode.

Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
After a two month sabbatical, of which many apologies for are due but none are forthcoming, we are back in business with a stateside statement of intent and a brand new guest!
This episode Sloane, Felix and I are joined by a protege of theirs, Belle!

48. The Simple Life with PaRIZZ Hilton and NiCOOL Richie
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
This episode finds you a week later, and finds Lord Friday The 13th over a month into a truly gruelling (truelling) European tour.
Join us as we try to piece together the last 4 weeks from the pieces of ourselves that remain. There's everything from a show in an old mortuary, to a sound man called Machine Gun, people raising donkeys, an interview conducted in a toilet, -substances- being smoked outside, a police raid and a stay in an actual, honest to goodness, no fooling, proper old castle. The best part (or worst part) is, that all happened in the SAME DAY.
There's more where that came from unfortunately.

Don't have time for a long intro, we're already late enough as it is!

46. London And On And On
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Episode 46 sees me return stole items to Peter Rugman and he returns the favour by stealing the show.
During a routine headlining of the last ever Static Shock Weekend with The Number Ones, Peter Rugman was gracious enough to grace us once again with his presence and once he's done that, goes on to tell us about his award winning, improvised murder mystery show (which is his way of confessing to -actual- murder). I gloss over his homicidal tendencies and instead dive into his beef with Charlie Puth while I break the law by stealing some electricity from a plug in a pub.
Sonic Second follows swiftly with contributions from Counting Crows and Julian Lennon and from there we fall in to Vox Pas with some terrible examples of Irish accents in video games.
Workfarce makes its inglorious return and then after Have I Got Tunes For You we treat you to a song from The Number One's headline set from that night at the Lexington. Whole show is rounded out with a delayed flight and delayed responses from some tired rockers in Stansted airport the following morning.

45. Two Petes In A Podcast 2: The Pete-quel
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
You’ll notice the repetition of a prior episode title, but there’s just cause for this repetition, and it’s just cause I want to. But also because the guest is another Peter, but not just ANY Peter, it's the Peter that is the reason I’m Peter O’ Hanlon Jnr. (Like Robert Downey and his son, except without the troubled past and billion dollar franchise.
Yes, my dad disgraces us with his presence on the podcast during a routine visit back to Cavan.
We talk through how we first me (in a hospital, lots of screaming) and what it was like living together (in a house, lots of screaming). Dad gales and regales me with stories from his past, doing us all a favour and shutting down NCAD for 11 days and adventures in haunted houses over in Dallas. Morna and Ross drop in on a call to discuss the rite of passage that a ‘numny’ from Dad is and then we talk through Dad’s incessant desire to erect sheds and direct plays.
Eventually we turn our attention towards the segments where poor dad comes a cropper with some rearing senility that returns for the sign off. After father and son’ing our way through Sonic Seconds, Second Best and Word On The Street we get to Acoustic Corner and Dad whips out his classic, 16 Tonnes. (There’s a second performance of another household favourite but thats only for the Patreon members).
My mother elects to make a cameo appearance to set the record straight and recommends we listen to the national anthem so we can wrap up.
This episode is a family affair that could've gone worse.

44. Yours, Rathmines and Ours
Monday Jul 17, 2023
Monday Jul 17, 2023
Rathmines feels our wrath this episode and I feel the wrath of KLDD who join me in the Wine Buff for an evening of recollections and recommendations.
We cover everything from nightmare shows to disgraced school journals, old demos to new performances, the humour is broad and the horizons are narrow.

43. Two Petes On A Podcast
Monday Jun 19, 2023
Monday Jun 19, 2023
This episode holds a very special place in my heart, not half because my guest is a stellar chap (not even a quarter of why I like this episode) but also because his name is ALSO Peter and I finally get to use a title I've had for longer than I care to admit. I'm going to type it again because it's such a ruddy humdinger of a title and typing it means I have to say it in my head and I get to realise its brilliance all over again.
Peter Rugman is my guest this episode and with him he brings the novelty of the same name and also some riveting contributions to the segments.
We start as we don't mean to go on and dissect a Strypes fanfiction about bearing our children. From there we talk through the preceding days drinking and dancing and our Pokemon trainer history, (Rugman, who Peter will be referred to as from now on to save confusion) critiques and evaluates O' Hanlon's current Pokemon crystal squad) before we crack on into the segments.
We circled around Sonic Seconds and cover ground from Flyte to Labi Siffre to Kath Bloom to Klaatu to Matthew Sweet to The Raspberries and finally Brian Wilson. Coming into land we don't settle the debate between YouTube app vs YouTube in-browser (Rugman's answer will disappoint you) before hurtling headlong into Vox Pas and take off soaring again into Pete's Patent Pending which enjoys a welcome return (if some sub-standard offerings). After gliding through our shared memories of canine cartoons we careen into Have I Got Tunes For You (recommendations on our end involving 'Novelty Island' and 'The Merrymakers' before we engage the landing gear and round out our time together for an Acoustic Corner for the ages.

42. Anyway, You Were Saying Something Irrelevant
Monday May 15, 2023
Monday May 15, 2023
In the beginning, this podcast was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
An even worse move was to get Shane O' Neill on as a guest and relive the misery we've put each through over the course of the last 17 years.
