Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Happy Friday, Chack Post. How are you guys. I'm good,
Happy Friday, Pats you too. Now this show is on
a break next week. Radio has a little mini break
for a weekend. I I know all of you right now.
I get the feeling are saying, Gosh, Christian, it's only
been a ten short week since you last had a break.
By God, you really do take that another week on

(00:24):
our path, Christian. So we are on a break next week.
What is everyone doing, Patsy? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Working actually for a little bit. I'm on weekend today,
I believe tomorrow morning all again, which will be fun, good.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Awesome, talk me about that. Congratulations that's great new Yeah, no,
it'd be good.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
And doing a little bit of podcast work. It is
a busy week actually, and Ords has got school production
next week. She's got another week. Oh wow, mummy mode
next week, which will be fun.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, our door doesn't break up to another week. My
wife and I have gone away for this weekend. The
last ten weeks has been a in tense ten weeks,
really big, so we're looking forward to actually getting away.
The pair of us actually, Jackie boy, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, we're putting our feed up as well. We're going
to Andy Lee's beach house. He's giving us these for
a few nights. Is great, Yeah, me too. And then
next week, next Wednesday, I've got to come back because
I sign myself up to something that I think about
every night before I go to sleep, and I'm so
nervous to do. But I've got an improv night at

(01:19):
Comedy Republic where I've never done improv before. But I'm
I'm like a guest on stage with them, not in
my stomach.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
But that's because actually it's good to stretch. You're a
funny guy every day improv. But it's because you're thinking
about it differently because you're turning into performance. You don't.
You don't really get like that before the show. You
just turn up and you aren't actually funny.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Do you know how hard it was though to look
at a week off and go, God, I could just
be sitting by a pool with a book open.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
But why you've not chosen that? And I think this
is a part of seventy five hard, is that you're
actually looking for more areas to stretch yourself. You've got
to steer into what's harder. Yeah, we all sat doing
those improv light night lines. They're they're there, they're testing sometimes.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
If anyone wants to come and see it. Next Wednesday
night at Comedy Republic eight o'clock. I think it's called
the comedy group is called something good.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
That Comedy Republic is a great venue, an awesome room.
So what are you doing the next Tuesday night?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Next Wednesday night?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
All right? Good luck?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Every Friday, meet Jack and Pats. We go around the
team and we turn about the things that we're enjoying
at the moment. We called it double thumbs up, Patsy,
what are you giving your double thumbs up?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Just got into the Netflix drama Nicole Kidman's latest offering
the Perfect Couple and really enjoying it.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
That is her and what's the name of the guy
in it? I've seen the trailer, put it on my
watch list.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I've drawn a blank.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
He's an impact on you. He's obviously not a straighted
just a frozen face. Kidman. She could do it some
more botox and freeze that face a bit more. I think,
kid I think she's you can't tell where.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I can't fight what Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was
married to Naomi Watts. Leave Leave.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
He was. He's a great actor.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's brilliant in this and it's great. It's right in
my genre, sort of murder mystery. This body washes up
at a beach at her son's wedding. She's a novelist,
and Nicole Kimman plays a novelist and I love it
so Chris and I have been fighting over.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Never seen you with such a big smile on your
face when you said body washed up.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
On a followed by My Wheelhouse the bit beforehand, can
the body chuck it in the sea? And that where
the ocean? No?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Really loving that. That's on Netflix, the first series. The
other thing I've discovered this week is this little you
know you know that you're getting older, probably forty plus,
when you have some sort of pill device in you
in your handbag that you know, like a.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Dividers to take a tablet in the morning. I take
victims someone, but I can't be bother to get that.
I want to find old age is coming from. No, no, no, no,
don't want to welcome it into my house too soon? No, no, perhaps.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Brilliant, I'd.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I love this.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I've got this is a little circular one, so I
think like a cat might have to feed it.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's great for radio because you can't see it. But
it's got like this little it's round and it's got
a button in the middle that you can.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Spin in a show bag.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, not like a show show bag.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And a couple of weeks time, it's going home and going.
I've got Botie beats old person's dispenser Ford.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
No no No at some events and it was in
like the giveaway, like the bags that the give bags.
And I love it. It's fantastic. It's got a little
thing that you put on.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
This feels very much scraping the barrel fender term, doesn't
it look?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I love this. TV shows in it at all. Yeah,
someone's checked out. Check. We said goodbye now and have
a nice break running Dragon or the shows avenues. We
don't need to go. Yeah, you needn fight me for it.
It's happen to start the break. Now we take a break.
We'd come back with Jack and I's double thumbs up.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay, Jack post, so just get into your double thumbs up.
What are you enjoying at the moment.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Guess what Banker and I are doing today. Something very
odd at Marvel Stadium. You're allowed to hit golf balls
from the stands onto the field. Ah, I don't know
what for.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Or why they're doing and some so crazy golf.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah, they've invited us to it. I guess because Marvel Stadium,
by the time Finals hits, they're not posting any football
matches anymore. So you go to different points around the stadium,
all three.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Tiers, and you like they've got like teas.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
You do it and then they got holes on the ground.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
But he's huge Marvel, I know, I don't know what
it is to the public.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yes, you can buy tickets to it.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
What a great idea.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
That would be so much fun. All right, couple of
things from me, then my double thumbs up, where we
would enjoy the second season of Rings of Powers. The
Lord of the Rings TV spin off Front on Crime
is very good. Uh, they're doing it once a week. However,
the other night I actually had a nightmare about the
TV show. No, I actually woke up. I really was scared.
I feared I was in mordeal and orcs were holding

(06:14):
me down and I could fight one off, and then
like they just kept coming. I thought they were going
to take me in prison me. I actually had a
actually had a TV nightmare.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
I actually miss having theatrical dreams like that. I always
dream about day to day like.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I do, just boring old stuff about you're running late
or something that classic one. Yes, the other thing is
the actor. And this is when a gradual lot of
things I start to do now And I noticed my
family does it well, but you will. It's starting to happen.
I really am becoming e merging into becoming one of
you in Australia. And I found myself today going that guy.

(06:52):
I think he sounds his accent a bit Australian. He
plays sour on so a big character in this. He's
killed her right, and I can't believe what joy it
gave me to Google. And he's from Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
He's from because so he's putting on like what a
Middle Earth accident.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Kind of a couple of things. Whenever he says water
because you won't know this, but when you say water,
you're sending it very different way than than weed. You
you go wa And he said it once when he
was talking about the ocean. I was like, that guy's Australian.
He's obviously been to drama college. But they can't. You
can't take the Australian out of the Australian. Now Google,
he's a killed But anyway, it's very good. Now. The
other thing I've got is I love condiment sauces, any

(07:30):
kind of like mayonnaise or flavored mayonnaise or barbecue sauce.
I've got them. I have found. I've actually brought two
chants in to give to you guys. Perhapsly that's a
brand new, unopen one of ross gourmet smoky AOI that
sounds delicious. Rio. Now you can't have this because no, no,
I've got these. These here are snacks. No, that's snacks,

(07:57):
they're little arns. Perhaps that's yours that real could keep
you going for another? Does to taste that smoky flavored
Please take that. You don't need to spoon, but just
dip that. I've got one for you as well.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
My god, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Isn't that good? Right? I think that snass snacks there's
your one.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, that's really good.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Why would you put so much sauce on their plate?
You gave him half a jar.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
My wife always has a go at me for using
way too many big measures and stuff like that. She's
half the jar has already gone savory. Scoop it back
in pantsy, scoop it back roses Smoky aoli wherever you
can find it. It is the best smoky I've ever tated.
It's so good and dairy free as well. I smell
on everything, brush my teeth with it.
