Speaker 1: You share yours with us as well. Text me oh
Speaker 1: four seventy five three one oh four three, Patsy, what
Speaker 1: are you enjoying at the moment.
Speaker 2: Dearest gentle reader. The fourth series of Bridgeton has dropped.
Speaker 2: It is Catney for women.
Speaker 1: The Globe absolutely loves it. What's the first two seasons
Speaker 1: that I tapped out? But it's a big good show though, isn't.
Speaker 2: It beautifully made? Makes me want to go to Bath
Speaker 2: and just have a look at all of the scenery.
Speaker 1: It is just stunning, just saying that Bath is a
Speaker 1: modern city. Brigitton is a fictional.
Speaker 2: Period, but you can still see where they feel.
Speaker 1: Not love, that's not a snapshot of now. Bath is
Speaker 1: a beautiful place. It's such a popular show, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Oh, It's just beautiful and it's just it's gorgeous. And
Speaker 2: the real highlight for me for this season is that
Speaker 2: it features an Australian born actress, which is really really
Speaker 2: exciting year. And her who is a Nighter graduate, is
Speaker 2: in this series and she is the love interest this
Speaker 2: time with Luke Thompson Benedict.
Speaker 1: And I mean, yeah, for Rio and I we're not
Speaker 1: watching it, and I imagine a lot of men listening
Speaker 1: right now. Not to make generalizations, but I think it's
Speaker 1: probably true. You could be naming anyone. And who plays
Speaker 1: bing being this year?
Speaker 2: How raunchy is it this year, Patsy, Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll see. They're doing a bit of a Stranger Things
Speaker 2: approach in that they're dumping sections of the series. So
Speaker 2: we've got the first four EPs and the second part
Speaker 2: two drops Lady this month about that, if that is.
Speaker 1: To let the ladies cool off, let me just and
Speaker 1: myself on those steamy scenes when Lord wats his face,
Speaker 1: dropped his breeches smelling salts.
Speaker 3: It's a bit like that, but.
Speaker 2: It's very clever, and they're doing it with a lot
Speaker 2: of popular series now and it's just like, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like feeding your addiction and then they snatch it back.
Speaker 1: And tell me, this is that just your show, Patsy,
Speaker 1: Because for my wife it's like she doesn't want me around.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I for go and just do
Speaker 1: something else because she just it's just her thing. Because
Speaker 1: half the time I think it's also because they're sex scenes.
Speaker 1: She doesn't want me to joke up to tea.
Speaker 2: I was thinking of the love God saying to me,
Speaker 2: what's going on? Who's he on with?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: But who is the who's narrating it? Who is later
Speaker 2: whistled it? It's like, can you please just please just
Speaker 2: let me.
Speaker 1: Watch she's the lady that writes the blog.
Speaker 2: Yes, that, and it's revealed who she is.
Speaker 1: Scandal and they do that do they sort of the
Speaker 1: great thing where they take pop songs and they have
Speaker 1: like love that is so good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like with beautiful string quartets, and you think like this, oh,
Speaker 2: I know this song is an e cheerance song, or
Speaker 2: it's this it's very clever, it's brilliant. It sort of
Speaker 2: pulls you back into the present when you're sort of
Speaker 2: imagining this, Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, we're in the past. Insurance here would have
Speaker 1: thought fantastic everywhere, no matter where you are, what decades
Speaker 1: you're in, your century, living in tune? Is he not?
Speaker 1: He's omnipotent?
Speaker 3: He's busking in.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast that we can why don't
Speaker 1: he balance it out? Watch die Hard? Then Alan Rickman
Speaker 1: pays for his infidelity with his life at the end
Speaker 1: of the movie. Mike, that's a great idea. You're restoring
Speaker 1: harmony in my marriage. See look karma he got his Wow.
Speaker 1: How like that's a genius idea about that is I'm
Speaker 1: going to do that.
Speaker 3: High level husbanding. That Wow, that is.
Speaker 1: Very very good. Christian. When Bassi said that Bridgeton was
Speaker 1: doing a stranger things, then I was hope she was
Speaker 1: going to say there are now paranormal demons killing off characters.
Speaker 1: I will start watching us or having relationships with the regulars.
Speaker 1: Glenn Webber, very very good. We're doing We're doing Recommendation
Speaker 1: Station with its every Friday. We share our recommendations, what
Speaker 1: we're enjoying at the moment. You shall you share yours
Speaker 1: as well. Michelle is watching Nurse Jackie, which came a
Speaker 1: couple years ago, which is absoually brilliance from the sopranos
Speaker 1: Edie Falco's show. It's supposed to be incredible. That one
Speaker 1: a lot of awards. It's on SBS. If you want
Speaker 1: to see it here? All right? Two things to me?
Speaker 1: What's a TV show? And one is I think in
Speaker 1: my time here it's the first time I've ever recommended
Speaker 1: an app. Oh wow, yeah, it's a TV show and app.
Speaker 1: So yesterday evening I took a big, bold risk. Our
Speaker 1: twenty one year old has moved back home for color
Speaker 1: weeks getting over her back surgery, and so it was
Speaker 1: just me and her last night, and I queued up
Speaker 1: a new show for us to watch, and soon she
Speaker 1: sat down she was like, no way, I don't like
Speaker 1: sci fi frozen. On the screen was this big new
Speaker 1: Marvel TV show called wonder Man. She was like, plus,
Speaker 1: it's about what superhero guy? No, And I said, it's
Speaker 1: got great reviews. It's supposed to be a very unsuperhero
Speaker 1: TV show. Then I showed regarding review giving it four
Speaker 1: out of five. She respects the girl ardi more sadly
Speaker 1: than and so we watched three episodes straight through. Is
Speaker 1: that good? And let me tell you this, not once
Speaker 1: in three episodes. They're just twenty five minute episodes. Did
Speaker 1: she pick up her phone? That is how I judge it.
Speaker 1: That is huge. Didn't pick up our phone once? And
Speaker 1: I heard it pinging, it was snapping, it was chatting,
Speaker 1: it was gramming, it was talking, but she did not
Speaker 1: reach for that phone. Hey look at you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep making show. Guys, there's only five more episodes.
Speaker 1: Then the phone's going to take away from Papa. But yeah,
Speaker 1: wonder Man, what a brilliant show. He's got superhero powers,
Speaker 1: but there's hardly any of that in the show. He's
Speaker 1: trying to control them because he wants to be a
Speaker 1: Hollywood actor. That's that's not true. Me in It's So good,
Speaker 1: cannot recommend enough that is wonder Man on Dizzy Plaster
Speaker 1: and the other thing. I struggled to type at the
Speaker 1: speed that I talk. So it's a nightmare me sending
Speaker 1: an email. And recently it became a real problem when
Speaker 1: I had to write a book, and so I was
Speaker 1: getting so frustrated I was. I tried out a couple
Speaker 1: of different voice dictation apps, tried two or three. There
Speaker 1: were only about sixty to seventy percent curate. There were
Speaker 1: Dissey's glitches, and so it's slowing me down. And so
Speaker 1: then I found one that I have actually used to
Speaker 1: write my book, the book that I've written that comes
Speaker 1: out in August. The whole thing was spoken out loud.
Speaker 1: Because it's a book about speaking and storytelling. It felt
Speaker 1: right that it shouldn't be typed out. I should speak out.
Speaker 1: So I would go for walks a couple of hours
Speaker 1: and I'd be mumbling into my phone. People must have thought,
Speaker 1: it's crazy, dude, much is he doing the show? How
Speaker 1: he does he walking it in? Phoning it in? He's
Speaker 1: walking in the show? What is this? But anyway, I
Speaker 1: would dictate it. This thing called Whisper is ninety nine
Speaker 1: point nine percent. It's incredible. So I now use it
Speaker 1: for emails as well. You just talk away and it
Speaker 1: comes out real time at the speed you're talking.
Speaker 4: I wonder if it can do the Australian accent, which
Speaker 4: we were a bit.
Speaker 1: Well, you have to, you have to. It gets you
Speaker 1: to read various things at various volumes for like five
Speaker 1: minutes beforehand. It learns you. Yes, yes, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: being uploaded to Chinese nefarious kind of organizations. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I've got nothing remotely interesting in my life, just mumblings
Speaker 1: of stuff I'm going to talk about on the radio show.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Whisper. And because it's an app.
Speaker 3: NOI oh, of course, no.
Speaker 4: Vowels in a square.
Speaker 1: Okay, Boomer wants to correctly spell out whisper no e
Speaker 1: al rio. What's your recommendation station?
Speaker 4: Scotty James Pipe Dreams on Netflix will get you so
Speaker 4: fired up for the Winter Olympics, which start was already started,
Speaker 4: but ceremonies tomorrow. Scotty James is Australia's best metal hope now.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: Skateboarder, snowboarding, halfpipe.
Speaker 1: Guy, so so crazy days it's mentally flying there courage
Speaker 1: or Matt insane.
Speaker 4: And he has been in the Olympics since he was
Speaker 4: fifteen years old. He's from Warren Dye, which is the
Speaker 4: outer suburbs of Melbourne. Not exactly a hot, amazing story
Speaker 4: in his family as well, it's amazing. And he's never
Speaker 4: won Olympic gold, so he's the best in the world.
Speaker 4: He's won seven X Games, he's been a world champion.
Speaker 4: He's coming into this as the raging hot favorite.
Speaker 1: So Australia could win it. Go.
Speaker 4: Yes, this is massive and it's been hanging over him.
