Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's a tough weekend for you and mother's study. You
have to go and yeah, what are you up to
this weekend? Practicing magic tricks.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
In my magic I'll be spending a lovely Mother's Day
with Bianca, but also Mother's Day afternoon, I've got to
trim a tree with my mate who works at Kennard's
Rich He's bringing around a scissor lift and a pulse.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Or your kidding. Yeah, those pulsals are dangerous.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I know you pay a pro he's going to do
most of it.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'm what are you doing? Operate? I would not trust
you with up and down buttons.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I guess I throw away the branches he throws down.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
You're like, that's a work. Experienced kids just sort of
lolling around kicking leaves at the bottom.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
But for the first time ever had that experience where
you have to go knock on a neighbor's door and say, hey,
your tree is over hanging on our side.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
To become people can fall out over that.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeah, I was really nervous to do it, but he
ended up being a really friendly guy, and he was
the one that said, oh, you should get a sizzle
list lift and.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Do it yourself.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
If it's his tree hanging over yours, he should be
doing it. Should be doing it.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
No, yes, especially is he on your left, because it's
one side.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
He's over the back.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Oh, I'm not going to make him come and cut
the tree branches on the.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I would say, Chris, come around, you.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Know one the ones that fall on your side, throw
real petty.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Before.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean to this day of a territorial dispute.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
I have to live next to these people for how
who knows how many out there.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Maybe it's a nice, nice sunny afternoon. You've got your
Mother's Day that day, soone's loving great tree trunks and
bowels of trees over.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
I think it's even if illegally you can force them
to come and cut the trees, I think you should
do it yourself, just for decory.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. Christian O'Connell Show Podcast Friday Morning.
Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show, where every Friday we
do a thing called double thumbs Up. We go around
the team we talk about the things we're really into
at the moment. There is a TV show that feels
like they've crunched some kind of algorithm and it's for
people my age and Patsy's. It is a perfect midlife

(04:52):
comedy called four Seasons, brand new Netflix. It's the Bigges
show on Netflix right now for a reason. It's written
and directed by Tina. Also on the Stars and what
a great lineup Tina fays in It Will Fought, and
also the great Steve Carell's Well four couples. Every season
they go away for a weekend together. It's not that
relatable because they're clearly all multi millionaires. They're immaculately dressed,

(05:15):
matching Louis Luton luggage. But aside from that, they're all
in their fifties. And in the first episode, Steve Carell
announced that he's leaving his wife. And the only reason
I'm saying this right because in all the trailers as well,
it's not a mystery is my wife and I had
two very different reactions to it. It's actually quite an
awkward watch. I am a fan of Steve's thirty two
year old girlfriend. I think regarda's fifties, that's okay my

(05:38):
wife every time, because he's happier and his wife, his
wife is was a downer. He was not happy with us.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
He wouldn't go out in the bike, wouldn't do anything
with him.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Whereas my wife is like, I hate Steve Carell's character,
the way he's carrying on like this, there's this uneasy
thing when we watch it, hanging near and I can
see my wife's side eye only sometimes. And then last
night she just went, I don't know what I'm just
going to say right now. I think you've got a
crush on his girl. You know where you go like
a politicians. We caught cheating her press.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I didn't even notice that.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm not even watching TV.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
It is a pathetic character, isn't he No, he's.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
We had almost an argument last night about a fictional
TV show.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
A beautiful woman. You know she'd been with him, what
was it twenty six years?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
In real life, you can't judge people that can be
people can break up and be happier separately.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
I thought it was very selfish of him.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
But this is my wife, and there's this thing that's
bubbling under it. I'm really nervous about the last episode
because I think my wife thinks he's going to leave
his very hot, teaching thirty two year old governet st
you didn't go back to that dowdy woman.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
It's a beautiful series.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
But it's really good.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
The script us like that that's not going to help.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
But she is a dowdy old woman, isn't She's a
buzzkill her character when it come on? Would you want
to hang out with her?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Saw your bangs out? Sweetheart? Yet steve back anyway? Seasons
it's so good It's really really good, isn't it. And
I'll tell you what they really now a lot of
how couples in a long relationship are with it, sometimes
so much so it's actually depressing. But the stuff about

(07:23):
the flossing before getting into bed, and having intimate relations
with the own, cleaning your teeth properly, all these kind
of the hundreds, you're like, oh my god, that's what
we do. At times, it's like an uncomfortable mirror. You're like,
oh my god, how can we become these people.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Been in that situation?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
And then I'm just going to flossing.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Actually, you're watching something so real and so relevant to
your life that you don't even want to look and
make icon't take me that. You just keep staring at
the TV screen.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
And it's and it's I think there was a line
where they both they were both moaning about this very
nice guest house that were saying it. They were both
moaning a lot, and they went, they went, it's like
our porn, isn't it. We'rend the age now where moaning
is just a porn. It makes us feel really really good. Anyway,
It's called four Seasons. Cannot recommend it enough we're going
to take a break. We'll come back with Jack and
Patsy's double thumbs Up. The Christian O'Connell show podcast Friday

power play between Deb and Avo, her head writer, is
just so.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
How they sustain that show now to the fourth season
is incredible. They move on every season so well, it's.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Gaining momentum and there's a great in the last episode.
So a new season drops today, but the last episode
last week had a great cameo by Jimmy Kimmel which
was hilarious, So hacks on Stan it is brilliant. The

I got recognized by a customer. She goes, are you Patsy?
I said, yes, I am, and she said what are

(09:21):

clothes Zerra.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Actually seeing Patsy in the world getting one of her
bargains is like, d we see her doings in this habitat?
I would, I'd lose my mind, That's.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
What I thought. I thought, Oh, what was she expecting?
Maybe she was disappointed because it was just me raw.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's right, a heated What you didn't tell the heated
clothes Zerra, it's brilliant.

Speaker 4 (09:51):

You plug it? You know your clothes horse that you
put on to dry. This one's heated. So it's got
an electric cord you plug which the little Yes, it's warm,
but not too warm, but just warm enough to make
everything toasty. So I got one last season. You know
how Ali do their special buyers, and they're like once
a year miss them. You have to go a whole year.
So anyway, I got one last year. I loved it,

(10:14):
only Chris put it in the backyard. He moved it
while he was stuff and then it rained and so
it's still in the backyard. And I said, that must
go to the.
