Speaker 2 (00:09):
And how everybody have you all got stuff you're looking
forward to this weekend? Jackie Boye, what are you and
the family up to?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I've got a completely blank weekend, which is not a
good thing because that gets filled quickly with.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Chaws makes me always nervous, very nervous.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, you're right, that's to do. This will be a
wieldo this weekend, starting with the lawns. Don't let me
come in here on Monday if I haven't mowed the lawns.
They're getting jungle like out there.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Untill I enjoy cutting the lawn. I find it quite refreshing.
And it's rare these days, right, that you get to
look back at something and feel satisfied that you did
something physically that looks good, and when you get the
little stripes and that.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Every time I'm doing it, I say to myself, Hey,
this is actually quite enjoyable. Yeah, don't put it off
for so long, And now I see myself back again.
Four weeks later I haven't done it.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I've got the seasons of changing. Now you have to
do it so fast. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, and you just got a little electric one Arobi
like me, I've.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Got a battery powered one.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Is that what you have? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, as noisy as the picture.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
No no. And I also like to listen to a
podcast as well. That way I'm getting a physical work
out and a mind one.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Or really I like to keep my ears vacant so
that I can hear for any dangers. And he has
like a stick going under there that might flick out,
or a rock.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And also the worst barter part it is you have
to go and check for mines, don't you, because you've
got a dog like we have, and you'd be surprised
where the amount of times it's gone. You're wearing shorts
when you're.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Doing especially as the grass gets longer and they're more hidden.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, they're hidden. You have to really mind sweeping yours.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Going one spot of the gardens anywhere she lies, really
Presley goes in one corner.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's there's three animals that can be being out. There
are two dogs and now the cat Society doesn't want
to use his tray. He'll also had a little turd
for me as well. And they're all different shapes and sizes.
You've got to guess the animal.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It's one hundreds and thousands.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Oh, it's intrigue. Rake up and just rake up?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Who anyway, lovely way to start the show, Patsy, What
are you up to this weekend?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
We're off to a Halloween party tomorrow night. This is
the thing.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
There's a big We all wanted to go like the
same theme, but then there were too many fights. We
couldn't agree on what we wanted to go as. So
we'll all be going as different things. I think Chris
is going as a Dracula. I'm not sure yet.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Chris will make a great Dracula.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Easy, just black cake, you know, fangs, blood, down the
fence you have at home.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's not like he's dressed in a cape Monday to Friday.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I don't know what goes on behind closed.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Doors, stationary Superman. And Audrey is going as some sort
of Alice in Wonderland gone wrong, like murderous Alice in Wonderland.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What do you I don't know yet, get it hop on?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So organized Christmas shopping is done, I.
Speaker 3 (02:58):

find something.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I saw a.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Great photo today. Someone's got a Halloween ray gun outfit. Ah,
that could kind of ghostly ray gun blastom past.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
That actually really was very funny.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
We do a thing every Friday.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
We called it Double Thumbs Up, and it's where me,
Jack and Patsy talking about the things went into at
the moment would have been joining. It might be a
TV show, it might be a documentary, it might be
a book.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm preparing to be a widow in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yellowstone Season five, Part two is about to drop on
Stan Chris.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Absolutely, you would really like this.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's a really full on show Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yes, it's kind of like Dallas I reckon. It's like.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They're more Game of Thrones sometimes I get it's a
family member. It's like they're all bumping each other, getting
each other whole time over at Big Fence Post.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yes, and Kevin Costner is brilliant. So the first part
was earlier this year, is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, they broke up the season and it got everyone
really really upset.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's great though. It keeps the intensity there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No, I want to know that you can relax and
know it's going to be a steady trip.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Feed ever get wrapped up in the end. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, and the trailer just dropped.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's an exclusive on stands streaming service. Stam is where
you can find Yellowstone. It is brilliant.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Are you going to have to do it? And we're
going to lose this? Vlae has the help we dial?
This is we dial one.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Have any of us got to say that I pray
before I take my final breath. I can whisper to
my wife menacingly like John Dutton.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There, this is the we dial. No, he's not doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Like that walking seriously. No, it's a great piece of
TV storytelling, is amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But he doesn't talk like the Bodyguard and all that.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
The other thing.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Thirty years in the nineties and all that, and I
have it's very clear this isn't your show. You would
not talk about sex in the City the same way.
And one of those shows, what Jones show you're enjoying
at the moment city?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I know the other thing. I did bring this to
the table quite a while ago. Was our coffee beans
that we get at ald and overnight they've won an award.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
They've been like, is it the Colombians They through the
night an awards show overnight, but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
One Australia's best coffee bean.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
While we were sleeping and they were brilliant.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
But I love because they've sauced them locally. So a
Melbourne roaster does them. Black bag roasters. We get the
dark one, not already grained one. Our machine grains them grind, grind, grinds.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's one they won the award. Mate, overnight, I.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Can speak good in everything and it works out to
like it's so good because we were.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Spinning a fortune.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Coffee beans are so expensive and.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
The love God because he likes, you know, his typical
daddy likes to do his math. He's worked out they're
about twenty five cents to thirty.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Cents a cup.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
She knows how many. Then you go, Chris, that's about
fifty two cents there.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
So he's got his Frank Green just you know, the cup,
a usable cup, and he'll make it and you'll go, yep.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Coffee, there's Frank Green things about to liter those caps.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
He has a couple of hell. Yes, but it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
He's going to be a caffeinated Dracula.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Last Oh is the brand?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Try it even if you're a fussy cof coffee drinker
like I am serious, and you.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Get them more freezy for these posts.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Don't get them.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It feels like the show sponsored by then not the
Melbourne Cup Carnival and that sponsored the.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Show Bucks for a massive, big bag.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh my god, Frank, and how many waters.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Do they win?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Heaps? It's austraight as best coffee. Jack, get on.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
It overnight, guys, while we were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, we are just going to cool down, okay,
and then we're going to come back with Jack and
heist double thumbs.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Up the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Jack and I are going to do our double thumbs up.
Now we'll be talking about what we're enjoying this week. Jack,
what's it for you?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I m a sucker for a great sports documentary. You'll
love this as well Baseball, which I don't even watch,
but I watched The Turnaround on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh right, they've been truly. I've added it to my list.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Is it good?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh it's so good man, Yeah, I it caught my
interest because it's only twenty five minutes long, and I'm
always looking for something shorter. I'm open as well for
anybody this morning. Giving recommendations for short things under half
an hour is perfect for me because we don't have
time to sit down.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
And you got two years.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Minute documentary twenty five minutes about the turnaround Philadelphia Phillies
in the US. I don't even want to tell you
the story. I'm watch so sure, but it's so beautiful.
Biank and I both shed tears in twenty five minutes.
What an achievement.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Okay, I can save anyone time. If they think a
sports documentary called Starting five, which is new on Netflix,
is any good, it isn't. It's got like star power,
like lebron and all this, and Lebronze production company makes it,
and it's obviously these amazing players basketball players who are
supposed to be given access. We don't need any more access.
All we want right is to see you being brilliant,
(08:15):
you playing with the kids, or dressing up for Halloween,
which is U sat here for twenty minutes, or what
coffee you have is utterly I gave up twenty minutes
in don't bother watching. If you're a baseball fan, a
basketball fan, you've been let down by starting five. If
you are looking for like twenty five minute TV series,
I've been banging about over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Bad Monkey is brilliant on Apple TV. Is very very good.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's maybe by Bill Lawrence, who is the guy that
did Scrub years ago, ted Lasso, and now he's got
two shows on now, Shrinking is Back, which is brilliant,
and Bad Monkey, which is very very funny twenty two
minute episodes.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
That's genius for.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Most TV shows, You're right, they're on hour long episode.
Vizorn is always yeah, he carries this whole show, the
whole castle growth. Bad Monkey is great on that things
that I've been enjoying, I really do enjoy bad I
didn't realize it's based on a book written while Karl Hyerson,
who's written like thirty comic novels. I've started reading his
first one, Double Whammy. It is outstanding. So if you
(09:10):
look for someone easy write and easy to read, that's
very very funny and has got a good plot as well.
Mostly we'll probably going Christian Carl Harson has been writing
these books for thirty years.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I am very lately Artie.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
But Paths just recommended the Bodyguard so.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Comb for recently on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, Double Whammy is the Kyle Hyson book I'm tearing
through at the moment. TV documentary back for a second series,
Ancient Apocalypse. Great, my man, Graham Hancock.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
This hey, this guy is good.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He's debunking all these kind of very tightly hell beliefs
about the history of the world around us.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
The aliens build the pyramids, that sort of thing, is it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He's not completely out there, but he's back for a
second season. It's really interesting. Graha Hancock Ancient Apocalypse. So
he's been ostracized by the archaeological community because he debunks
a lot of their findings. And the last couple of
years he's been saying that there's no way humans made
the pyramids, and just yesterday while you were asleep, actually
(10:07):
they've been saying now and the actually archaeologists that actually
finally admitted that actually the oldest pyramid in the world,
which is Gonnam Padang, is twenty five thousand years old,
and they're saying there's no way humans made it, and
they do not know how it got to be there
Butt In the episode the second season of Ancient Apocalypse
they get in it's the first episode and who crops
up midway through the show a couple of episodes in
(10:31):
Caanu Reeves. It makes no sense. Suddenly he's like, for
one scene, he's like wandering through some field and finding
some ancient rubble. Next minute, Kanu Reeves is there, and
I feel like that did he bump into you on holiday?
Chianu was like trekking in the wilderness and there's a
strange interview with Reeves and then you don't see him
(10:52):
again for the rest of the season.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Did that really happen.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Or is it someone like logging onto your Netflix on
another account. All of a sudden you're watching and then
you went back to the ancient Egyptians.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So it's really interesting. It's very good. Ancient Apocalypse second season.
The first season came out about two years ago, Graham Hancock,
and then because of this ficture, we do just talk
about the things that we were genuinely actually into. This week,
there's a movie that came out last year. I never
got round to seeing it. Mission Impossible seven Dead Record
Dead Recording was so good. Yeah, I love Tom Cruise.
(11:22):
He's never really made, I don't think a bad movie,
and he feels like he's just sort of now in
this new kind of elder statesman of storytelling and movie making,
and I just thought, I thought it was an outstanding,
really smart action movie.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Even the last three or four of those Impossible movies
have been some of the best action movies of all.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Time, so I didn't realize until the end of it
it's part one. He's just started filming this year part
two as well, So yeah, I really enjoyed it. Deagreting
Mission Impossible.
Speaker 1 (11:48):

Show Bucks for a massive, big bag.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh my god, Frank, and how many waters.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Do they win?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Heaps? It's austraight as best coffee. Jack, get on.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
It overnight, guys, while we were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, we are just going to cool down, okay,
and then we're going to come back with Jack and
heist double thumbs.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Up the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Jack and I are going to do our double thumbs up.
Now we'll be talking about what we're enjoying this week. Jack,
what's it for you?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I m a sucker for a great sports documentary. You'll
love this as well Baseball, which I don't even watch,
but I watched The Turnaround on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh right, they've been truly. I've added it to my list.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Is it good?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh it's so good man, Yeah, I it caught my
interest because it's only twenty five minutes long, and I'm
always looking for something shorter. I'm open as well for
anybody this morning. Giving recommendations for short things under half
an hour is perfect for me because we don't have
time to sit down.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
And you got two years.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Minute documentary twenty five minutes about the turnaround Philadelphia Phillies
in the US. I don't even want to tell you
the story. I'm watch so sure, but it's so beautiful.
Biank and I both shed tears in twenty five minutes.
What an achievement.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Okay, I can save anyone time. If they think a
sports documentary called Starting five, which is new on Netflix,
is any good, it isn't. It's got like star power,
like lebron and all this, and Lebronze production company makes it,
and it's obviously these amazing players basketball players who are
supposed to be given access. We don't need any more access.
All we want right is to see you being brilliant,
(08:15):
you playing with the kids, or dressing up for Halloween,
which is U sat here for twenty minutes, or what
coffee you have is utterly I gave up twenty minutes
in don't bother watching. If you're a baseball fan, a
basketball fan, you've been let down by starting five. If
you are looking for like twenty five minute TV series,
I've been banging about over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Bad Monkey is brilliant on Apple TV. Is very very good.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's maybe by Bill Lawrence, who is the guy that
did Scrub years ago, ted Lasso, and now he's got
two shows on now, Shrinking is Back, which is brilliant,
and Bad Monkey, which is very very funny twenty two
minute episodes.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
That's genius for.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Most TV shows, You're right, they're on hour long episode.
Vizorn is always yeah, he carries this whole show, the
whole castle growth. Bad Monkey is great on that things
that I've been enjoying, I really do enjoy bad I
didn't realize it's based on a book written while Karl Hyerson,
who's written like thirty comic novels. I've started reading his
first one, Double Whammy. It is outstanding. So if you
(09:10):
look for someone easy write and easy to read, that's
very very funny and has got a good plot as well.
Mostly we'll probably going Christian Carl Harson has been writing
these books for thirty years.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I am very lately Artie.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
But Paths just recommended the Bodyguard so.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Comb for recently on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, Double Whammy is the Kyle Hyson book I'm tearing
through at the moment. TV documentary back for a second series,
Ancient Apocalypse. Great, my man, Graham Hancock.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
This hey, this guy is good.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He's debunking all these kind of very tightly hell beliefs
about the history of the world around us.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
The aliens build the pyramids, that sort of thing, is it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He's not completely out there, but he's back for a
second season. It's really interesting. Graha Hancock Ancient Apocalypse. So
he's been ostracized by the archaeological community because he debunks
a lot of their findings. And the last couple of
years he's been saying that there's no way humans made
the pyramids, and just yesterday while you were asleep, actually
(10:07):
they've been saying now and the actually archaeologists that actually
finally admitted that actually the oldest pyramid in the world,
which is Gonnam Padang, is twenty five thousand years old,
and they're saying there's no way humans made it, and
they do not know how it got to be there
Butt In the episode the second season of Ancient Apocalypse
they get in it's the first episode and who crops
up midway through the show a couple of episodes in
(10:31):
Caanu Reeves. It makes no sense. Suddenly he's like, for
one scene, he's like wandering through some field and finding
some ancient rubble. Next minute, Kanu Reeves is there, and
I feel like that did he bump into you on holiday?
Chianu was like trekking in the wilderness and there's a
strange interview with Reeves and then you don't see him
(10:52):
again for the rest of the season.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Did that really happen.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Or is it someone like logging onto your Netflix on
another account. All of a sudden you're watching and then
you went back to the ancient Egyptians.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So it's really interesting. It's very good. Ancient Apocalypse second season.
The first season came out about two years ago, Graham Hancock,
and then because of this ficture, we do just talk
about the things that we were genuinely actually into. This week,
there's a movie that came out last year. I never
got round to seeing it. Mission Impossible seven Dead Record
Dead Recording was so good. Yeah, I love Tom Cruise.
(11:22):
He's never really made, I don't think a bad movie,
and he feels like he's just sort of now in
this new kind of elder statesman of storytelling and movie making,
and I just thought, I thought it was an outstanding,
really smart action movie.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Even the last three or four of those Impossible movies
have been some of the best action movies of all.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Time, so I didn't realize until the end of it
it's part one. He's just started filming this year part
two as well, So yeah, I really enjoyed it. Deagreting
Mission Impossible.
