Speaker 1: for me it's Father's Day and please universe Oasis tickets
Speaker 1: trying to get them, like millions of people from around
Speaker 1: the world tomorrow five p m. This has could ruined
Speaker 1: Father's Day for my family. Have you got what you're
Speaker 1: not going to get them?
Speaker 2: Do you have multiple screens set up your phone in
Speaker 2: the internet at the same kids are ap.
Speaker 1: Top bless them, They're all doing their bits. So I've
Speaker 1: been researching online about what's the best way to do
Speaker 1: it because it's so stressful. Now to one tickets and
Speaker 1: this is a very big deal. Now Oasis come back.
Speaker 1: This time last week, no one was talking about Oasis.
Speaker 1: There were no roomors. I don't know how it's all
Speaker 1: kept so quiet, but anyway, so apparently it's better if
Speaker 1: you do the refresh on your iPhones. But I've got
Speaker 1: so the kids to be on their iPhones, my wife,
Speaker 1: me laptop, another laptop as well, So it's some nerve,
Speaker 1: said to go on Willie Wonka, Yes, yes, I get
Speaker 1: the golden tickets.
Speaker 2: It's actually a sweet family moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good luck to you all I want for Father's Days.
Speaker 1: Please help me get these tickets.
Speaker 2: I really hope it's.
Speaker 1: More likely that I won't be getting the tickets.
Speaker 3: No, positively put it out.
Speaker 2: So do you go for a particular show or can
Speaker 2: you go for any of the nights, or do you
Speaker 2: have to keep refreshing for different like we would end
Speaker 2: up in Wales or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You no offense, but some meant no
Speaker 1: one wants to end up in Wales. And I have
Speaker 1: noticed why the brothers have smartly thought this. We haven't
Speaker 1: played life fifteen years. Chuck it in wells. If it's
Speaker 1: that bad, it's just Welsh people. We've upset, okay, and
Speaker 1: then we're saved the big show for London and their
Speaker 1: homecoming shows in Manchester. But I've noticed that interesting you
Speaker 1: going to Wales first of all, so now I don't.
Speaker 2: Dust off the Cobweb show.
Speaker 1: However, I've noticed that, because you know they put odds
Speaker 1: on anything, the odds that them completing the talking to
Speaker 1: her not great, and going from the first opening night
Speaker 1: to throughout the nights get worse and worse and worse
Speaker 1: because you know what it's like. It may all go
Speaker 1: to Liam's head, anything could happen. So what I'm hoping
Speaker 1: for is the opening night in London, and I know
Speaker 1: that no one else trying to do that strategy. It's
Speaker 1: just going to be me there and the boys, like
Speaker 1: a private gig in a one thousand seater. No one
Speaker 1: else will try that one. Keep it just out please,
Speaker 1: good life? All right, So, Patsy, what's up for you

Speaker 1: what's it for you?
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I a blatant plug, I must say. But
Speaker 3: episode seven of Rage Against.
Speaker 1: The Do you know what? I was having a friend
Speaker 1: of ours with chat the other day and she's in
Speaker 1: her fifties and she was saying, she started listening to
Speaker 1: your our podcast, Rage Against the Menopause, and how utterly
Speaker 1: brilliant it is a journalist as well of over twenty
Speaker 1: five years. So honestly, you're you're doing a gift to
Speaker 1: all your fellow sisters who are going through that difficult time.
Speaker 3: Well and men as well. The response I've got from people.
Speaker 1: Is just beautiful I saw from the listeners, but listen
Speaker 1: to us for years in the UK. Larry sent you
Speaker 1: a lovely note.
Speaker 3: Yes, he said that he's not a shamed now to
Speaker 3: talk about it in the workplace that they're having. What
Speaker 3: are you laughing at?
Speaker 2: I've just seen it's great.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Prince of all testimonial?
Speaker 2: Why is the fonso being It's like you're reading cue cards.
Speaker 3: And I have printed off like that. I have not.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like one letter of page.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It fits the messages on one, but
Speaker 3: I I don't. I can't the answer to that, but
Speaker 3: I do want to hear some of the Well that
Speaker 3: was really nice. Like Y wrote to me, she said
Speaker 3: it was like sitting down with my best friend and
Speaker 3: having a chat, and I thought, that is so nice.
Speaker 1: Honestly, you are in your element on that podcast.
Speaker 2: It is so good in my truth.
Speaker 3: Larry Bander, who you just said, he's strong supporter of
Speaker 3: the show and was a big listener to you in
Speaker 3: the UK.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I love about it as well?
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm shocked to what I'm hearing because the great
Speaker 1: thing is is you really put yourself into that, and
Speaker 1: that is why it's so good well doing it, and
Speaker 1: I've heard so much sometimes it's nice to be shocked
Speaker 1: in the car getting into the well.
Speaker 3: There's no point doing it unless you fully put it
Speaker 3: in yourself. And there was a lot of stuff around
Speaker 3: and women were just dipping their toe in the water
Speaker 3: and not quite.
Speaker 2: Into it.
Speaker 3: And there's more of that in episodes.
Speaker 1: You're waking from it the summer.
Speaker 3: Let's not make it a dirty word. It's okay to
Speaker 3: talk about periods and saw boobs and all the rest
Speaker 3: of it and menopause and one really touching message from
Speaker 3: a lady I got Sharon, who said she was moved
Speaker 3: to go to a doctor and finally instead of putting
Speaker 3: herself last and her health needs last. She said, thank
Speaker 3: you so much for the informative pot. I took myself
Speaker 3: to the doctor today to talk all things perimenopause. It's
Speaker 3: time I got my crap sorted. So, you know, to
Speaker 3: think that it could move people to that point, women
Speaker 3: to that point where they're finally putting themselves first and
Speaker 3: sort of making it a priority about you know, what's
Speaker 3: happening with their health and not always about their kids,
Speaker 3: or their partners or their parents. I think that's really
Speaker 3: I love that. I love those.
Speaker 2: Coming.
Speaker 3: Keep thing coming, the other.
Speaker 1: Thing, give me the praises, annoying me. No mention how
Speaker 1: you can listen to the podcast. Don't listen to it,
Speaker 1: just keep the price.
Speaker 3: Well it is on the free I heeart app or
Speaker 3: wherever you get your podcast. So episode seven I'm in
Speaker 3: my Power now with Grace molloy, who is the CEO
Speaker 3: of Menopause Friendly Australia is this week and she's amazing.
Speaker 3: I saw this deficiency in workplaces, and you know what,
Speaker 3: she stood up and she's done something about it. She's
Speaker 3: an absolute trailblazer. The other thing this week, I've got
Speaker 3: another podcaster, another podcast which I'm into, which is Wiggle Talk.
Speaker 1: You should They launched a parenting.
Speaker 3: Podcast, a parenting podcast and it's Lockey and Simon, so
Speaker 3: Purple and Red Wiggle. Who are new parents. Lockie's got
Speaker 3: twins with I think one of the dancers is his wife.
Speaker 1: In the week.
Speaker 2: Because he Locky was married to Emma. He's not looking
Speaker 2: too far to say.
Speaker 1: He's being all over the place. He doesn't know who's
Speaker 1: PSID which one? I bang it. It's a time podcast.
Speaker 1: Is it about sex? Could?
Speaker 3: But I love it and I love it for the
Speaker 3: new dads. Jack you to tested this for new dads.
Speaker 3: I think it's brilliant. The dads are getting up and
Speaker 3: talking about it. I think it's absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 1: You haven't got a listener to There was literally zoning O.
Speaker 2: I am interested in that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, we take a break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: with the Jack and Ice double thumbs up. This is
Speaker 1: the Christian O'Connell show podcast going on a four point three.
Speaker 1: It's the Friday show on Gold We're doing double Thumbs Up,
Speaker 1: where me, Jack and Pat's talking about the things we're
Speaker 1: into at the moment this week. Everything we talk about,
Speaker 1: any tips or anything that we're listening or watching or
Speaker 1: reading that you might like, because this is too much
Speaker 1: choice in the world right now. You can find on
Speaker 1: our social pages as well. Jackie Boy, what have you
Speaker 1: enjoyed this week?
Speaker 2: We've been locked on two different shows on the ABC.
Speaker 2: You can stream in both on ABC I view. The
Speaker 2: funniest show on television this year is Guy Montgomery's Guy
Speaker 2: Mont's Spelling Bee. Oh my god. He's a New Zealand comedian.
Speaker 2: I've seen him pop up on Instagram and TikTok before,
Speaker 2: but I've never really watched much of his stuff. He
Speaker 2: is the funniest person on television. It is awesome. It
Speaker 2: is so funny Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont's Spelling Bee. Aaron
Speaker 2: Chen is also on it with him, and then they
Speaker 2: have a rotation of the same kind of comedians you
Speaker 2: see on every panel show because we've only got so
Speaker 2: many comedians to go around.
Speaker 1: But it Guy's good.
Speaker 2: It Guy's fantastic, and the format is really strong. The
Speaker 2: other one is just the sweetest show I've watched this year,
Speaker 2: and that is The Assembly.
Speaker 1: What a gift, what a beautiful show that is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so glad you guys are watching it too
Speaker 2: because it's so nice.
Speaker 1: So which I saw. I've seen the Albanezy one, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen the hame one.
Speaker 2: Hamish's brilliant on it. So the idea is Lee Sales
Speaker 2: takes a group of journalism students, autistic journalism students, and
Speaker 2: walks them through how to interview high profile people. The
Speaker 2: students write their own questions and then they sit in
Speaker 2: this really soft, sweet space and take turns hand in
Speaker 2: the microphone over and asking questions of Sam Nei or
Speaker 2: Hamish Blake, Anthony Albanesi and it's you would be shocked
Speaker 2: at how quickly and how sweet the answers are and
Speaker 2: the conversations that come from.
Speaker 3: The times as well. It's a real emotional but it.
Speaker 1: Changes you watching that show. For the Battery.
Speaker 2: I think the first episode is Sam Neil and he
Speaker 2: gets asked what he learned from his parents and it
Speaker 2: takes him a minute to answer the question really shocks
Speaker 2: it just goes deep into himself and really thinks about
Speaker 2: it and then gives these really great answers, and Hamish's
Speaker 2: episode I thought was brilliant.
Speaker 1: I'll check that out this weekend. It also does a
Speaker 1: really important thing of showing people the wonder of people
Speaker 1: who are my kids are as well in neurodivergent, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand it, and it was
Speaker 1: never really properly respected when we were kids as well,
Speaker 1: and so many people misdiagnosed, millions of people who grew
Speaker 1: up with shame or thought that thick or slow, which
Speaker 1: is what used to be told. It's a beautiful show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I thought even Anthony Albanez, he said a
Speaker 2: really beautiful thing during it that everybody, no matter who
Speaker 2: they are, is equal, and it doesn't matter what kind
Speaker 2: of car you drive, or what kind of house you
Speaker 2: live in, or what your abilities are, but everybody on
Speaker 2: this planet is worthy, and they felt that when he
Speaker 2: was saying it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that watching that right now is
Speaker 1: probably the best thing you could do for yourself. It
Speaker 1: would just chune your heart and soul up. Two shows
Speaker 1: to me that we're really enjoying back in our life.
Speaker 1: My daughter and I bond by watching only murders in
Speaker 1: the Building Steve Martina Marshall back this week for season four.
Speaker 1: They're doing it one show a week, which is how
Speaker 1: we grew up watching TV. But I've done about you.
Speaker 1: I get hugely irritated. Last night we were watching it
Speaker 1: and it ended and I went, We've got enough time.
Speaker 1: You can stay up and watching this one.
Speaker 2: Where's that next episode?
Speaker 1: Why would they do this? I wouldn't watch it all
Speaker 1: now I'm ruin a good thing within two nights, but
Speaker 1: only murders in the building. This is the fourth season.
Speaker 1: Go back and watch them. They it's brilliant, smart, funny.
Speaker 1: Steve Martin is still doing great work as well on
Speaker 1: my comic heroes. The other one. If you ever read JK.
Speaker 1: Rowling wrote a series best selling books. She just can't
Speaker 1: help but write a best selling novel, a whole detective
Speaker 1: series called A Cormorant Strike.
Speaker 2: I've read. I read The Running Grave last year and
Speaker 2: it was my favorite book for twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: It's so good been adapted to the TV. I didn't
Speaker 1: even know it's already in this third season, so I've
Speaker 1: just started watching the first season. It is outstanding. It's
Speaker 1: so good. It's called CB Strike and it's been adapted
Speaker 1: so well if you love the books, or you don't
Speaker 1: even need to read the books, but if you're looking
Speaker 1: for a new novel series, they're real page turners. They're
Speaker 1: so good. But the TV adaptation, I cannot recommend it enough.
Speaker 1: It's very very smart. CB strike is what it's called.
Speaker 1: Those are my double thumbs up. The Christian O'Connell Show
Speaker 1: podcast
