hour of every show. Don't know why I was waving

They waive a lot, donate to the kids. The kids
love a good wave, don't they do. We go around
the team and we call it double thumbs up. We
share our Friday recommendations, Rhea, What is it for you?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Netflix has just dropped a whole new category. It was
a couple of days ago. It's called the Culture Edit
and it's my new obsession. It is a series of videos.
They've got lots of different series. So one of them
is Open Door, which is kind of like MTV cribs.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well it's so good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So it's like only ten minute episodes and you get
to go into celebrities houses and they take you through
it oh wow, and you'll find it becomes a bit
of a hate watch because you really start to see
how out of touch these celebrities are. Greneth Porlchow complaining
about oh you wouldn't believe the trouble I had trying
to get this chandelier from a chutau in France.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Rich people's problems beyond first world problems.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And it's not quiet.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's not quite as good as MTV Cribs because obviously
MTV Cribs is rappers. Yes, and they have the craziest houses.
But it's still good to have a lot of a
little peeky boo. Choice Advance got a what do you
call it? A bath tub in his dining room? Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Crazy?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's very odd, couldn't you You could?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
You could do both? Actually you could do both? All right?
What's that?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
What's that called?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
That's called Open Door?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And there's also another series called of Varying Quality. In
the Bag and this is where celebrity is open what's.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
In their handbags? Often?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Do you or you know dol Jygabata and tell them
what's in there?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
No? I sign up to a substat once a week
what's in mine?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Now? And really is what is in your back?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And the amount of stuff I end up buying because
they go that was like a nice pen, and found
I'm just waiting on some pens that I saw in
last week's one of it.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Oh no, I'd watched that. I love paying through other
people's bags.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Louis Therow's bag. This is what was it?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Actually?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
What do you think would be in Louis.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Pad pencils, AirPods?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Correct, it is very dull and a.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Penguin classic novel, so like Charles Pickwick papers.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
There is a memoir in there. There's also dental floss,
rain proof trousers.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Because that's a very Louis proof. Well, he lives in
England just in case he needs to. You might think
it odd, but I think that's good planning.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
And he also wears a neck gator is that what
you would call it?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Where he gets recognized in public too much? So he
has like a scarf, oh like a snool? What's around
London like this?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mate? I mean you're not that famous. What are people
going to say? Oh, they like your documentaries.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I wouldn't think hide behind a mouse.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I'll tell you who does.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Who has his own strategy for dealing people to recognize
him as Ricky Gervase. I've never seen anyone I walk
quickly Ricky. It's almost like a run. And his theory
is by the time people have gone wait, is that
he's two hundred meters.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Up the road. He walks so quickly he powers powers.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
That's a great strategy.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It's better than a net Gator, Patty, What's I for you?
This week?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
A great series I Will Find You with Sam Worthington
on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
As one of the best shows of the year.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Love this.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
That's relentless, isn't.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
It Based on Harlan Coben's book. He's executive director as well.
I really like this And I won't tell you what
the plot is about because it would give it away,
but it's probably.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
The title probulic. You know, I Will Find You.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I know it's kind of you're looking for.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
But he's really intense in this. I wasn't, to be honest,
not that much of a fan of Sam Worthington and
until I saw this and I thought, No, he's brilliant
in this.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
He carries the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
The actress also plays is a sister in law, is
fantastic in it as well.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
She's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
I loved it and the backstories and how it's all unpeeled.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It's great.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I hadn't read the book before, so it was new
to me. The other thing, we are rediscovering Supernatural with
our fifteen year old. She loves that genre and she's
right into it. And there was nothing better than Sunday.
We were having a lazy day and we thought maybe
we'll watch some after breakfast, so we called out, hey,
do you want to come and watch some Supernatural? And
she was there in a flash. And there is nothing better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Especially when you got like a couple of seasons. Yeah,
that's why I mean the girls, I got them into
probably a way too young age of Gray's Anatomy. Yeah,
ten was too young and to a ten year old
and eight year old. Both of them now have phobias
about medicine stuff like that, and that actually is on me.
But twenty four seasons, we're still hanging out.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
What's crazy? Dad? You actually did?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm sorry that is on me because everything goes wrong there, Yes,
every week something must go wrong. It's not healthy for
an eight year old and ten year old. But I
know what you mean about having those shows you watch
with your kids. People just search so much fuss about
you've got to go and camping with your kids, and
that is important, but actually that quality junk time watching it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
It's the best just.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Sitting on the couch right next to us in the moment,
off our phones.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
You can say off your faces.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
No, but she's going camping with school and.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
So after breakfast or pants means five in the afternoon
as he wakes up at four pm on a Saturday.
And so.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
No, she's going on school camping four weeks. So I
said to her last night, maybe it might be an
idea to just go a bit lighter on the Supernatural
because we're doing like three episodes a night.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
She might get scared.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
The next thing that I'm really excited peaching Kingston, Well,
it's kind of like a pudding. It's on social media everywhere,
this dessert, and I've made one for Rios to taste
and seeks so easy. All you do get a packet
I used to of Kingston Biscuits, line a cake tin
or a baking dish, and then just smack on the
(06:21):
top a whole can of peaches in syrup.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
That's all it is.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Put it in the oven, and.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I guess you've got a really old relative because they canned.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It was so funny.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
When we opened the can, Chris and I were like,
oh my god, we can't remember the last time peaches
we were like six years gave you.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
I am saying that my grandparents home those ten peaches
and pineapple.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Chunks, and anyway, here you go.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
I it everywhere on Instagram, easy and it caramelizes really beautifully,
like I'm on Master Chef.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Okay, master Chef and out of the can best week
is can we got master Chef?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
That is good?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Is that nice? That is a pretty small mouthful there.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He had?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Oh wow, it is I won't have any more this year, but.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I freeze the rest, like she says, turn the lights
down low, put some Barry White.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
On, and you in reality.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Okay, it is so easy. It's dead easy and a
great Why Why are you not convinced?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
It's just he literally had the he's doing more, he's taking.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It's actually very nice. It is.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
All right. Bizarrely.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
One of mine is actually Harlan Coben a series of
his books. He's written lots of books and he's done
his big megateal with Netflix. He's a genius thriller writer.
But he's just done a deal now. He wrote a
series of books a couple years ago about a sports
agent who is also kind of a detective there were
great series of books there, Myron Bollatar series. It's like
(08:07):
six or seven of them, brilliant books.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You'll read them in a day or two, really addictive.
And I actually message him two years ago of interview
years ago when we sort of kept in touch. So
you've got to do the Myron series. This has been
announce they're doing. It's bringing it to Netflix.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
You should get a car on that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I don't think it was hard for Hing the workout
these books that Netflix keep buying.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Haven't got any more of them, but.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Anyway, the books are really really good. So looking for
a good series of books right now. Harlan Coben is
the author, and it's the Myron Bolotas series, really really good.
And then I'm going to tell you now about a
TV show and this won't be for all of you
when you hear what's about. And I wasn't sure whether
I was going to watch it, but I'm so glad
I watched it. I've never seen a TV show like this.
(08:50):
It's a dramatization of the bombing in nineteen eighty eight
of pan Am one oh three. It's called the Bombing
of pan Am one oh three. And over two hundred
and seventy people lost their lives. I've never seen a
dramatization that. It's a very on Netflix show. It's not showy,
it's very methodical. It's made with real dignity at times
(09:10):
is more than quiet silences.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
It is I've never seen a.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
TV show like it is a dramatization, but I tell
you what it left me feeling is it's more of
a humanization about a horrific terrorist attack.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
It is incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Just the relentless pursuit of justice from just everyday Scottish
police officers and also in America as well. It took
the families over twelve years to see justice and only
one person was ever prosecuted for the attack. It's stood
a great source of upset for the families. But they
made this show with the permission of the families that
(09:46):
made it, in consultation with them, in collaboration with them.
So it's a very very I've never seen a dramatization
like it. It's incredible, and the way they ended it
was a very respectful note. But also afterwards as they
start to show you the real pictures of the people
that you just spent the last couple of episodes seeing
actors play that I found I left the end of
(10:07):
it thinking I want to be more like those people
who were so kind.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
There's one of my favorites. The story is there were
these Scottish.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Mums who became known as the laundry women, and throughout
watching it, I kept pausing a couple of times, going,
my god, I wonder if that's.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
True or they just added that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And on the FBI's own website, they've got the story
of these Scottish women who volunteered. There were so many
pieces of evidence that they had to have they couldn't
return it to all the families. The scene that everything
went over in Scotland was over seven hundred and fifty
miles wide. It's one of the biggest crime scenes in
the world. And there were literally hundreds of thousands of
pieces of items that belonged to various passages and they
(10:44):
didn't just have enough time to return it to the families.
And then these mums said, well, do you want us
to clean the stuff up? We will send it back.
We'll take charge of that. They thought would take a
couple of weeks. It took them over a year, but
they sent back all the items to the families and
just seeing those women those small acts of kindness. It
was incredibly, very very moving TV show. It's an amazing show,
(11:06):
I would say, and that's one of my shows of
the year. Wow really and it's not. It is really sad,
but it's just so well done. It reminds you that
there are more good people in the world doing great
things as well, and that small acts of kindness really
do make a difference in somebody's life. It's called the
Bombing of pan Am one oh three. It's a strange
recommendation for me, but asking me really what i've really
(11:27):
what's moved me more this year and actually made me
think about how can we be more more kind in
the world, you know, and not when someone asks you
to do something more and more a spirit of more generosity.
That's what it made me feel at the end of it. Anyway,
it's on Netflix. It's a fantastic show, beautifully made. Those
are our recommendations.
