45. Two Petes In A Podcast 2: The Pete-quel


Listen Later

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.
