Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Double thumbs up as where me chak Ampat's telling me
about the things we're into at the moment.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Patsy, what's it for you? Kicking off the year.
Speaker 5 (00:16):
Watched so much stuff over the break, but one of
my favorite things was there's a new documentary on the
Jerry Springer.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Show, a lot better than I thought it was going
to be.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Yeah on Netflix, Jerry Springer fights camera action and it's
like a background look at this crazy watch and Jerry had.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Absolutely no editorial control.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I didn't realize I've had something, but he was just
merely the host. But it was a real, really deep
delve into the role of the producers. And you thought
a lot of it there are actors and pretending, but no,
that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Because we grew up watching that show. There never been
TV like that.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It really was like a humans yes, and that was
do you remember that actual fight?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You know there should be that big old Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It takes you a back it to a moment in
time when that used to be huge that shows and
then that strange bit used to do at the end,
we try I'm moralize to make us feel a bit
less grubby about what we've been doing.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Just bizarre and just you know how the producers it
was almost like a blood sport coming up with the
craziest plot for the next show, the.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Carl and Jackie Oh Show. To be honest, I mean
probably some of those pauses just moved on to that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, they probably just watched.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Every three shows.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
And also just you know, the pursuit for ratings against
Oprah and and got there.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
In the end of Yeah, Oprah wasn't always this kind
of Oprah that we know was super soul Sunday. She
was doing this other kind of freak show.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
She's doing very spring stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well that was the days of early talk. Yes, it
was trashy like that until they found their feet.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So I loved it. But he always had don't you
think he always had a little bit of like a
no to the camera that he knew that it was
a ridiculous show that you come into.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean some of the plot lines.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
There was a guy I'm in love with my pony
or something like like, he was having a relationship.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And again they're doing that.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
The other thing that I've discovered and I hate to
admit it, but we got home from holidays. I opened
the front door and this god almighty foul stench whacked
us in the face.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We had a dead rat in the roof.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
St We had one behind the fridge that we didn't
know been decayn there for weeks, literally just trashing the
house trying to work out what the smell was.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, this was us.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Chris pulled the fridge out. There was nothing under the fridge,
so we cleaned under there. We just couldn't and it
was weird because it was shifting around. It seemed like
it was shifting around the house anyway. So it's still
up there. It's died up there.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I guess it's a skeleton now, but the smell, and
I remember Mike Granny used to use this nil odor
It's this tiny little bottle of it's kind of like
an antiseptic, but it's a deodoriser.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
What just for den rats? It was a really niche.
How many of those days shift in.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
A year, But it's brilliant and I thought it's concentrated deodaizer.
It's about five bucks a bottle at Coles and Woods.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I could have done with that years ago for it
when the girls were right in peak teenage years because
those psroums there used to really FuG because the clothes
they just festering on the floor.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, well this is great, and I thought, of course
we just I was using bleach and then all you
could smell was bleach.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So what is it? What's the replacement smell?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
What is I don't know if I can describe it.
I want to say it's like a vanilla, but it's
not a vanilla.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's not a masking thing though, it's like trying to
take away the smell.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So it's a neutral smell.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Neutral smell. Right, I've got a great rat story. Maybe
later on, let's take a break.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
We'll come back with Jack and Ize Double thumbs Up,
a Christian O'Connell show podcast. We're doing Double thumbs Up.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
This is where we go around the team too about
the things we're into at the moment.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Before us, she was Jackie boy, what's the rat story?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So my in laws were here right up until we
came back on Monday, and it reached peak hysteria over
the weekend when I heard yelling from another room like, aha,
it's my mother in law and I get they're in
the house so much that I begin to like hide
in different rooms of my own house to get a
little bit of a breather. So I didn't. I was like,
(04:23):
I'm not even going to deal with this. Whatever's going on,
let them deal with it. Screaming, screaming, and she's going
the rat, the rat. And Spanish is her first language,
so she's saying, like.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Rat on, d on.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The one thing I can't do is through rat.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
On powerful action. I get it. I know the venezuela,
but that's very good.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So I can hear them through the next room and
they're trying to make the sheets on Cordey's bed and
they said there's a dead mouse living between his mattress.
And she said, that is that is discussed on you.
If that's true, that is very disgusting. See my father
in law come back from the kitchen with a big
(05:03):
garbage bag over his hand to come and collect the rat.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I go in behind him a backup.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Because he was in there.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You should have pushed.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Of the crime. It's his, it's his case. My mother
in law still yelling the right on, like rocking back
and forth in the corner. He goes to Grab the
Dead Mouse and it's Gordie's plastic Rhino toys.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
All right, Jackie boy, what is double thumbs up for you?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
What have you enjoyed over the last couple of weeks?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I mentioned the Vichy documentary this week it's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I really like.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's called Tim. I'm Tim, and I never cared about
m electronic dance music. I actually always wondered how it
was so popular. But this is the first time they
ever watched a documentary that made me care about it.
And I care so much about a vachi now and
we have had of vich.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
It's a really interesting talent.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Obviously, we like the kind of music which is guitar
and dramas and we know all that, but yeah, idiom
music is huge. It brings so many people so much joy.
And he's a real artist and visionary. He deserves to
be respected like that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And he got to the point where every artist, whether
they were electronic music or not a cold Play, I
wanted to work with him because of his talents as
behind the laptop and as a music producer. Then the
other thing I really loved is we're watching No Good
Deed on Netflix, which is Ray Romano and Lisa Kudro.
They're a married couple and you enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I like it with it was.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
A bit cheesy, Yeah yeah, I thought you I love
love Ray.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I didn't. Yeah, I thought that was just lukewarm. Yeah yeah.
How far are you into it? Are you? Well? He
the how? I don't want to give too much.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
What's happened to the brother? Has happened to the brother?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
That's where we're right, okay, yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Should we keep watching?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
No? No, no, keep watching, keep watching?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Want mystery?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah yeah, you have to get to the end of
it as well.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All right, Just a couple of things then from me,
I read my first great book of the year by
some month Harvey.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I read in a.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Couple of hours. It's a tiny little book, but it's beautiful.
It's called Orbital. I think it won like the book
a prize, but it is such a great read. You
do it in a couple of hours, really really good book.
My daughter's got it for me for Christmas. Nate Baghetti,
one of the best storytellers, I would say the best
storyteller stand up in the world right now, dropped a
new special on Netflix over Christmas that is outstanding, just
(07:35):
a masterclass in stand up and storytelling.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It's a brilliant thing.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Did you see you know the maps app Ways? Yes,
he's the voice of Ways.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yes, it's got such a great voice, isn't it built
for comedy?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So you Delivery and.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Then two other shows for me as well. There's so
many great spy shows at the moment. It started a
couple of years ago with the huge success of an
outstanding show, Slow Horses, and then David, which I said
last year I loved, and then there's a new one
now with Michael Fassbender.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You've seen many of his films. Is a good actor. Yes,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He's in something called The Agency that also has Richard Gearing.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I haven't seen Richard stall looks. I mean he's got
to be late seventies.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh my god, he still looks amazing. He's still just
one of the best looking leading men ever. I think
Richard Gears he's in that, which is very good, and
Liones is outstanding as well. That's on Apple TV. Love
that finished the second season last weekend. I thought it
was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
