Speaker 1 (01:05):
The Swiss that's the only one I can explain it.
I don't know whether this is something they do in Swissland,
but I didn't want to get in the way of
you know, when you accept something immediately with like offering
no resistance, you know it's polite to go You couldn't
I went, thank you, you should as you should come
and tell my watch goes on? I hope you said no?
And why would I do that? Then cook it all
in house? Watch it after it's easy.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well that's you know, that's actually a nice thing to do.

have you go to dishes and then we could come
over to theirs and I could cook. Come, well, can
we do a steaks which is pretty bass me stood
by barbecue. Turning someone over it too. It's a very
nice gesture. So I've got that to look forward to you.

around the team Now we do this every Friday. We
call it double thumbs up. Basically, it's to stop you
(04:04):
arguing every Friday and Sunday night on the couch. So
hard to agree a TV show that everyone's happy to stream.
Two from me. Just finished this week watching the brilliant
fourth season on Amazon Prime of Clarkson's Farm. I actually
think it's the best thing he's ever done. Jeremy and
I love top Gear and known him for years, and
James as well. But I'm telling now Clarkson's Farm what
(04:26):
he's done for farmers all around the world. We see
how hard they have it. And Jeremy's done a great thing.
It's a very funny, heartfelt show. But you know, and
he keeps saying constantly, this isn't my living, but this
is heartbreaking even for me up against the weather, no
matter how hard you work, And he was saying, there's
no other job where it's not about your job. It's
depending not on what you do about bloody weather. Yeah.
(04:49):
So Clarkson's Farm, very funny, great fourth season. Finished that
this week. And the other thing we've just started is
I would say this is one of the best crime
thrillers I've seen in the years. You might have seen
everyone's raving them. It's called Department Q. It's new on Netflix. Yes,
my god, it's so good. Perhaps you would love this
really really really smart, brilliant show, great cast as well. However,
(05:10):
I will say this, I watched an episode the other
night and it's not a horror move or anything, but
it's a chilling thriller, right, No, No, it's really good.
But I had a nightmare. I actually had a nightmare
about it that the car couldn't find me. It is
a really full on nightment, you know out there, I still.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Get terrified from nightmare.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Is I would walk out and have to go out
into the living room and put a light on to
just calm down.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I had to put the light on, I had to
put the yeah yeah, and just reground. And normally what
I did if I watch a scary TV show and
I'll watch an episode of Seinfeld as a kind of
a panic. And I didn't do that, and Mummy said
to me, you need to watch Seinfelder. You might wet
the bed. Pritty boy, I have been growing up.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Sarah was right, Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's very good. Department Q cannot recommend that enough. Rio,
What are you into at the moment?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I am watching Tires season two?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, we're watching that as well.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It is a veryness.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No, it's really bad. And I don't know about you,
but it was full on the first season. This one's worse. Yeah. Yeah,
we watched the second episode. Who's in the second episode? I've
just the first Oh my god, I made the mistake
of watching that with my eighteen year old And she
was back from university and five minutes before that she
was talking about this essay she's talking about about sex
has been popular culture, Dad presses play and it's just
(06:36):
like everything she talks about and they go, this is terrible.
We didn't turn it off. Yeah, shame of goodness, great
standard coming. That isn't the casting? That really funny?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's brilliant. It's like an X rayed version of the Office.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes, it's really twenty minute episodes. Ye, just setting an
a tire place. Very very good. The guy I've never
seen him before, the poor little guy there.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Oh will Yeah, where he's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He needs to be in a Tarantino movie or something.
He's the star of it for me. He's so good.
All right. The Christian O'Connell show podcast PASSI what are
you giving your double thumbs up?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Across something on YouTube the other day. It's about a
documentary that is in the making to find the Gibson
guitar that Michael Fox played in in Back to the
Future in that scene where they do the prom dance
under the ocean. So they've embarked on this massive search
to find the red Gibson guitar. So after that scene
(07:40):
was shot, which was the very first scene that he did, apparently,
because remember they replaced his character.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
He wasn't the original Martin Mick Fly.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
So then they brought Michael in and after the scene
was shot, it sort of just disappeared, so it's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Lewis from Huey Lewis and the news is. One of
the school teachers behind the desk cameo in it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
He's part of the bio as well.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
All the stars from the movie come back to launch
this massive appeal help us find this red guitar. And
they've even launched like a website, so if anyone's had
any sightings of it to jump on, can you watch
it just on YouTube if you search Lost to the Future.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You guys, watch more and more YouTube now. Yeah. I
read the other day that it's now counts some more
streaming the Netflix for the first time. It's going to
get bigger and bigger. They think it will overtake all
the streaming services, right, Yeah, there's so much stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I know, it almost seems old school compared to it.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But it's really fascinating.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
So they're making this this bio based on this guitar,
so maybe they'll find it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
