Speaker 3 (00:17):
Jack, what are you up to?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I've got a card's night tomorrow night. Come back to poker.
A couple of years ago as a team we sat
down on you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Actually had a proper table. Yes, yeah, that was It
was a really good fun.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
So we're going to the guy who owns that table.
We're back at his house tomorrow night. And i haven't
seen these guys in ages, so I'm really looking forward
to seeing them again.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So forward to this Weekend's slightly different weekend for me.
My twenty year old daughter. She's got the last sort
of two or three months of our second year university,
so she's been living in halls of residence up there
Neil Carton. She at the end of this year is
moving into a first sharehouse.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
What a moment, What a big moment.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
God, I'm so excited for her. It's it's so exciting
get your for a share house. And she was so
at the other day, She's like, what's it going to
be Like, I said, it's exciting you get your own place.
And as you know, we've got to find somewhere, you know,
rentals and stuff like that. Very hard to find place
a moment. But I said, but you are going to
have little flare ups with your friends. It's just all past.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
They are their wild ecosystems.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The sharehouse massively, so already they start to argue. So
there's two other people that she's going to be moving
in with. They don't want to buy a TV because
they believe they won't watch TV. So we have a
TV that was left or not left over it was
it was Jackie's and she's passed away, so we have
this TV. At first we were like, so, look it's
(01:37):
not haunted.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
No, you know right now she isn't in the TV.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, but if you don't leave it on for Dina Nodeal,
she might start coming back to haunt you because she
needs to see that. On the other side, she love
that TV show.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
So I said, look, you can have NaN's TV. It's
a nice TV.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It comes with a brit Box as well, the passwords
to do there you enjoy those Grizzly UK Murder TV shows.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
UNI friends.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
She because I'm going to their friends then are going
to start to watch TV. You know, she's got all
my logins as well. I said, well, you're gonna have
to work that out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Because you can't make them pay pay for the TV.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
She's come up with an idea. This is why she
why she's at university.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
She's gonna she's going to keep the remote control in
it by a lot box for it with a century entry.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So you have to pay to use the Well.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You said that. They said they're not going to use
the TV. The TV said, so, I said, you're going
to have to sop in some of these edges.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
That's a bad start, nobody.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's just about who's eating your salad, you know, some
of your peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You can't start arguing about the remote control.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
They're gonna they're going to get into your bedroom where
that's gonna have a lock in as well. What I said,
this is how we have NUCA, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You're just all in all. Someone will buy the washing,
someone brings the TV. There is always someone who doesn't
really contribute already.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Identified who that is as well. They didn't want to
pay like massively towards the rent.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
They just said, can't. I just I'm happy to sleep
in the utility room. No, not just that.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Guess he's putting the deposit down, Muggins. That's what I'm
looking at about. I'm looking I mean Coburg today. Look
at the cover basis Jack, I'm the garrantheor and I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Like, God, damn it, I don't know my name's.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Going to rip my credit score, my young you ain't
getting a single cent back of that, am I.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
My youngest brother slept in this. Honestly, he can only
be described as an addict space so that he saved
less in his first share house.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We got to talk about this late time today about
share houses, all right. Coming up nextent on Gold one
I four point three, we'll get into today's Double thumbs.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Up Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
God one of four point three Friday Morning is to
Christian O'Connell's show. So every Friday, in the first half
an hour of the show, we call it double thumbs Up.
These days, there's too much amazing stuff to watch and
he can't possibly keep up to speed with all of it.
So we're kind of like a filter for you. We
call it double thumbs up. It's just a shows or
books that we're into at the moment that we're just
enjoying everything we talk about. We put it up on
(04:01):
our socials as well, so it was a booke or
a new TV show. You like the sound of it.
All the informations there for you, Patsy, what have you
been enjoying?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, I have been enjoying my last episode of Rage
Against the Menopause Mouth Blog, Episode eight dropped yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
With stations end of the season.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Well, I was I was meant to do eight, but
I'm going to do it a couple of extra bonus
one on call because I have enjoyed it so much.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I just I've got all these ideas. I just want
to keep going.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So we've got Nicki Buckley this week, and she's fantastic,
and she's really honest and sort of said her whole
experience was what she would describe as absolutely harrowing, and
she just takes me through what helped regain her in
a goddess. So, Nicki Buckley, you remember Catwalk model and
TV presenter and was just absolutely delightful. You know when
(04:49):
you grow up watching someone on the Telly and you think,
I wonder what they're really like.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
She is so down to earth and was so shy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I've actually loved coming up because there's no spaces like
this before meant to talk openly and honestly about the menopause.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Was so taken back.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
She rang.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
She got in touch with me and said, hey, listen,
I'd love to do an episode. I didn't reach out
to her.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Amazing so on it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So she was fantastic episode eight on the free on it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But you are giving a gift to people. That's why
she reached out to you. Other people.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You're providing a support community, a sport group for people
who go through this really hard transition in life and
there's too much shame around it.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
There is, there's a lot, and I've got Can I
do some more feedback just briefly?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Can do you know what you are? By the way,
you're a shamebuster. You're going to call buster start making
it real.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
This lady wrote Karen this week, just reaching out to say,
what a goddess. Send your podcast to being in helping
me understand and come to terms with my perimenopause journey.
The one where you openly speak with your girlfriend in
brackets Ethel and Beryl, which was Sarah Patterson, which I
believe was.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You and pat That's the one that quite a few
friends of mine sat is episode and that you should
get her on as a frequent guest.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
We're going to next series.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Make sure she gets no credit and it's just a
show works.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You did the hard work.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Edit has just been such a joy. So that's lovely
to get those messages, Thank you very much. The other
thing this week, you know what I dabbled with last
week here witchcraft? No no, I made prosecco SCons.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
To die. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is a fine, beautiful British ingredient and food. Then
start putting prosecco in it in a glass?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What do you need it in the food? We can curry?
It was like one for Mummy, one for the one
that is a slippery slow. That was a tea wine cake.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now I'm off dry July. I'm going all hell for leather.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It was having in a glass extme far visit.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
To yourself to pat some dried July.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Now I'm binge.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's September, it's not longo July.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
But you know how I would make SCons with I'd
put instead of bacon, milk, no, instead of milk, like
the liquid. Instead of the milk, I would put lemonade.
And someone said, why don't you try prosecco? And I said,
all right, why not?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So this isn't even a recipe. This is just a
random person something.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
They rose like a mountain, though a fabulous if you
want the recipe, of course they taste nice.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Do you cream or jam first on a scot.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm not going to answer that because it's going to
get used against me. Now you're tracing trapman. It's called
and I almost fell for it. You are good. She's good,
isn't she. That's what you've got. A survivor. She knows
how she get me out this job, asking me questions
like that. Alrighty not today? Perhapsy not today.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We're taking a quick at break when we got my
jack of ized double thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
This is the Christian O'Connell show. Podcast got on a
four point three.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Christian O'Connell's show is Friday morning, when when way through
doing double thumbs up, we took about the shows and
books that we're enjoying at the moment. If that's any
good TV shows and movies you've seen, please let us
know as well text me four seven five three, one
oh four three now, and that it was obviously tough.
You've got a two year old, you're doing your seventy
five hard. But have you been watching anything? Because I
know your mom the babysitters backs, you got a bit
(08:21):
of extra spad time.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
You know what you find when you don't watch as
much stuff because there's not as much free time. As
soon as you don't like something, it's off, you know,
putting up with a movie, you're watching it the whole
way through just to get to the credits. So we
were halfway through Hitman with Glenn Powell. That might be
other people's thing, but we just looked at each other
and we're like, we're not getting to the end of this.
Turn that off. And thank god we did, because then
we came across Christian mentioned it last week, Adam Sandler,
(08:44):
he's got his new comedy specially and JE love you man.
That's exactly what we needed in the moment. He was
both of us Bianka and I laughing out loud, and
he is just one of the kings. He was one
of my idols in the nineties when I was growing up.
But he's just as funny as he always was. Adam
Sandler Love You. It's on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's a brilliant stand up special. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So sam An did one about two years ago, which
is actually really smart, very very good.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
This one's slightly different. It's directed by Safty.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Who did the Jewelry Movie with and Cut Gems and
Cut Gems, which is great. He directs this and the
best stand up specials. I think it's kind of a
reflection of what's going on in their head, and this
actually is a deserptively smart take on what it's like
to be famous. Sam Man's trying to hold it all
together and he's a busy guy. He's in demand and
it's slightly against him, but he's trying to keep it
(09:33):
all moving and without giving it away, what happens is
so even from the opening scene, it's like, you know,
it's something a bit.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Different, something different, and it's just so funny and the
very heartwarming, surprising ending to it as well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And also what I will say about that is a
couple of the routines, and my wife gave up when
this is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
At times. Come on, there's not the Genie thing, is
I mean? I was laughing like a change one. Genie
was my favorite. My wife went, how old are you?
Right now? I'll tell you what eighteen in this bit.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But there's a song at the end that I must
have played back about five or six times since watching
it that every time it makes me cry. It's a
beautiful love letter from Adam Sandley where it's actually it's
too much to bear watching it because there's so much
you get why he does what he does and why
all of us, whether or not you're making comedy or
just like most of us enjoying comedy watching TV shows.
(10:25):
It's a love letter to everyone who makes comedy. And
what comedy does for us is actually have your feeling,
whether it's sad or any kind of emotional or spiritual distress,
it makes you feel something.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Else it as well, not just for the funny songs
that a little throughout the show, but that last songs.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Just about everybody in comedy ever, from movie scenes and
moments in movies to stand up to sketch comedy. It's
an incredible love letter to what joys the world comedy
is and why we do it. It's actually one of
the most powerful endings I've ever seen from many of
his movie alone of stand up Special.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, I love that. It's on Netflix called Love You
the other one.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I mentioned it last week, but we just finished the
series of The Assembly on ABC. I view it's just
so good. We now have watched the Adam Goods episode.
He is brilliant, Amanda Keller brilliant an Adam want to
incredible Army. That's so good it will start conversations in
your own Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So I found me and my daughter were talking about it.
You know some TV shows they stay with you, they
ripple out for a couple of days, yeap.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
And what Amanda Keller says about her mom and oh
my god, it's a heartbreaking and we had tears in
our eyes watching that. The Assembly one of the shows
of the year on ABC. Another TV show that came back.
I think it's the fourth season now in my mind,
I would say this is probably the most original and
one of the best TV shows last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I can't give it enough praise. Slow Horses, it is
so good is back on Apple TV. That is a
great strong start to a really smart spy thriller that's
funny with an edge, and Gary Oldman, who is an
Oscar winning actor now in the role of his lifetime.
It is so good I cannot recommend it enough. You'll
thank me. Slow Horses is brilliant.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's back. Check it out The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

To yourself to pat some dried July.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Now I'm binge.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's September, it's not longo July.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
But you know how I would make SCons with I'd
put instead of bacon, milk, no, instead of milk, like
the liquid. Instead of the milk, I would put lemonade.
And someone said, why don't you try prosecco? And I said,
all right, why not?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So this isn't even a recipe. This is just a
random person something.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
They rose like a mountain, though a fabulous if you
want the recipe, of course they taste nice.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Do you cream or jam first on a scot.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm not going to answer that because it's going to
get used against me. Now you're tracing trapman. It's called
and I almost fell for it. You are good. She's good,
isn't she. That's what you've got. A survivor. She knows
how she get me out this job, asking me questions
like that. Alrighty not today? Perhapsy not today.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We're taking a quick at break when we got my
jack of ized double thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
This is the Christian O'Connell show. Podcast got on a
four point three.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Christian O'Connell's show is Friday morning, when when way through
doing double thumbs up, we took about the shows and
books that we're enjoying at the moment. If that's any
good TV shows and movies you've seen, please let us
know as well text me four seven five three, one
oh four three now, and that it was obviously tough.
You've got a two year old, you're doing your seventy
five hard. But have you been watching anything? Because I
know your mom the babysitters backs, you got a bit
(08:21):
of extra spad time.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
You know what you find when you don't watch as
much stuff because there's not as much free time. As
soon as you don't like something, it's off, you know,
putting up with a movie, you're watching it the whole
way through just to get to the credits. So we
were halfway through Hitman with Glenn Powell. That might be
other people's thing, but we just looked at each other
and we're like, we're not getting to the end of this.
Turn that off. And thank god we did, because then
we came across Christian mentioned it last week, Adam Sandler,
(08:44):
he's got his new comedy specially and JE love you man.
That's exactly what we needed in the moment. He was
both of us Bianka and I laughing out loud, and
he is just one of the kings. He was one
of my idols in the nineties when I was growing up.
But he's just as funny as he always was. Adam
Sandler Love You. It's on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's a brilliant stand up special. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So sam An did one about two years ago, which
is actually really smart, very very good.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
This one's slightly different. It's directed by Safty.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Who did the Jewelry Movie with and Cut Gems and
Cut Gems, which is great. He directs this and the
best stand up specials. I think it's kind of a
reflection of what's going on in their head, and this
actually is a deserptively smart take on what it's like
to be famous. Sam Man's trying to hold it all
together and he's a busy guy. He's in demand and
it's slightly against him, but he's trying to keep it
(09:33):
all moving and without giving it away, what happens is
so even from the opening scene, it's like, you know,
it's something a bit.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Different, something different, and it's just so funny and the
very heartwarming, surprising ending to it as well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And also what I will say about that is a
couple of the routines, and my wife gave up when
this is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
At times. Come on, there's not the Genie thing, is
I mean? I was laughing like a change one. Genie
was my favorite. My wife went, how old are you?
Right now? I'll tell you what eighteen in this bit.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But there's a song at the end that I must
have played back about five or six times since watching
it that every time it makes me cry. It's a
beautiful love letter from Adam Sandley where it's actually it's
too much to bear watching it because there's so much
you get why he does what he does and why
all of us, whether or not you're making comedy or
just like most of us enjoying comedy watching TV shows.
(10:25):
It's a love letter to everyone who makes comedy. And
what comedy does for us is actually have your feeling,
whether it's sad or any kind of emotional or spiritual distress,
it makes you feel something.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Else it as well, not just for the funny songs
that a little throughout the show, but that last songs.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Just about everybody in comedy ever, from movie scenes and
moments in movies to stand up to sketch comedy. It's
an incredible love letter to what joys the world comedy
is and why we do it. It's actually one of
the most powerful endings I've ever seen from many of
his movie alone of stand up Special.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, I love that. It's on Netflix called Love You
the other one.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I mentioned it last week, but we just finished the
series of The Assembly on ABC. I view it's just
so good. We now have watched the Adam Goods episode.
He is brilliant, Amanda Keller brilliant an Adam want to
incredible Army. That's so good it will start conversations in
your own Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So I found me and my daughter were talking about it.
You know some TV shows they stay with you, they
ripple out for a couple of days, yeap.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
And what Amanda Keller says about her mom and oh
my god, it's a heartbreaking and we had tears in
our eyes watching that. The Assembly one of the shows
of the year on ABC. Another TV show that came back.
I think it's the fourth season now in my mind,
I would say this is probably the most original and
one of the best TV shows last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I can't give it enough praise. Slow Horses, it is
so good is back on Apple TV. That is a
great strong start to a really smart spy thriller that's
funny with an edge, and Gary Oldman, who is an
Oscar winning actor now in the role of his lifetime.
It is so good I cannot recommend it enough. You'll
thank me. Slow Horses is brilliant.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's back. Check it out The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
