Speaker 1: Got anything good.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: Double thumbs up as where me chak Ampat's telling me
Speaker 3: about the things we're into at the moment.
Speaker 4: Patsy, what's it for you? Kicking off the year.
Speaker 5: Watched so much stuff over the break, but one of
Speaker 5: my favorite things was there's a new documentary on the
Speaker 5: Jerry Springer.
Speaker 4: Show, a lot better than I thought it was going
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 5: Yeah on Netflix, Jerry Springer fights camera action and it's
Speaker 5: like a background look at this crazy watch and Jerry had.
Speaker 1: Absolutely no editorial control.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize I've had something, but he was just
Speaker 5: merely the host. But it was a real, really deep
Speaker 5: delve into the role of the producers. And you thought
Speaker 5: a lot of it there are actors and pretending, but no,
Speaker 5: that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4: Because we grew up watching that show. There never been
Speaker 4: TV like that.
Speaker 3: It really was like a humans yes, and that was
Speaker 3: do you remember that actual fight?
Speaker 4: You know there should be that big old Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: It takes you a back it to a moment in
Speaker 3: time when that used to be huge that shows and
Speaker 3: then that strange bit used to do at the end,
Speaker 3: we try I'm moralize to make us feel a bit
Speaker 3: less grubby about what we've been doing.
Speaker 5: Just bizarre and just you know how the producers it
Speaker 5: was almost like a blood sport coming up with the
Speaker 5: craziest plot for the next show, the.
Speaker 3: Carl and Jackie Oh Show. To be honest, I mean
Speaker 3: probably some of those pauses just moved on to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they probably just watched.
Speaker 4: Every three shows.
Speaker 5: And also just you know, the pursuit for ratings against
Speaker 5: Oprah and and got there.
Speaker 3: In the end of Yeah, Oprah wasn't always this kind
Speaker 3: of Oprah that we know was super soul Sunday. She
Speaker 3: was doing this other kind of freak show.
Speaker 2: She's doing very spring stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Well that was the days of early talk. Yes, it
Speaker 5: was trashy like that until they found their feet.
Speaker 2: So I loved it. But he always had don't you
Speaker 2: think he always had a little bit of like a
Speaker 2: no to the camera that he knew that it was
Speaker 2: a ridiculous show that you come into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I mean some of the plot lines.
Speaker 5: There was a guy I'm in love with my pony
Speaker 5: or something like like, he was having a relationship.
Speaker 2: And again they're doing that.
Speaker 5: The other thing that I've discovered and I hate to
Speaker 5: admit it, but we got home from holidays. I opened
Speaker 5: the front door and this god almighty foul stench whacked
Speaker 5: us in the face.
Speaker 1: We had a dead rat in the roof.
Speaker 3: St We had one behind the fridge that we didn't
Speaker 3: know been decayn there for weeks, literally just trashing the
Speaker 3: house trying to work out what the smell was.
Speaker 2: Well, this was us.
Speaker 1: Chris pulled the fridge out. There was nothing under the fridge,
Speaker 1: so we cleaned under there. We just couldn't and it
Speaker 1: was weird because it was shifting around. It seemed like
Speaker 1: it was shifting around the house anyway. So it's still
Speaker 1: up there. It's died up there.
Speaker 5: I guess it's a skeleton now, but the smell, and
Speaker 5: I remember Mike Granny used to use this nil odor
Speaker 5: It's this tiny little bottle of it's kind of like
Speaker 5: an antiseptic, but it's a deodoriser.
Speaker 4: What just for den rats? It was a really niche.
Speaker 4: How many of those days shift in.
Speaker 5: A year, But it's brilliant and I thought it's concentrated deodaizer.
Speaker 5: It's about five bucks a bottle at Coles and Woods.
Speaker 3: I could have done with that years ago for it
Speaker 3: when the girls were right in peak teenage years because
Speaker 3: those psroums there used to really FuG because the clothes
Speaker 3: they just festering on the floor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well this is great, and I thought, of course
Speaker 5: we just I was using bleach and then all you
Speaker 5: could smell was bleach.
Speaker 4: So what is it? What's the replacement smell?
Speaker 5: What is I don't know if I can describe it.
Speaker 5: I want to say it's like a vanilla, but it's
Speaker 5: not a vanilla.
Speaker 2: It's not a masking thing though, it's like trying to
Speaker 2: take away the smell.
Speaker 4: So it's a neutral smell.
Speaker 2: Neutral smell. Right, I've got a great rat story. Maybe
Speaker 2: later on, let's take a break.
Speaker 4: We'll come back with Jack and Ize Double thumbs Up,
Speaker 4: a Christian O'Connell show podcast. We're doing Double thumbs Up.
Speaker 3: This is where we go around the team too about
Speaker 3: the things we're into at the moment.
Speaker 4: Before us, she was Jackie boy, what's the rat story?
Speaker 2: So my in laws were here right up until we
Speaker 2: came back on Monday, and it reached peak hysteria over
Speaker 2: the weekend when I heard yelling from another room like, aha,
Speaker 2: it's my mother in law and I get they're in
Speaker 2: the house so much that I begin to like hide
Speaker 2: in different rooms of my own house to get a
Speaker 2: little bit of a breather. So I didn't. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm not even going to deal with this. Whatever's going on,
Speaker 2: let them deal with it. Screaming, screaming, and she's going
Speaker 2: the rat, the rat. And Spanish is her first language,
Speaker 2: so she's saying, like.
Speaker 4: Rat on, d on.
Speaker 2: The one thing I can't do is through rat.
Speaker 4: On powerful action. I get it. I know the venezuela,
Speaker 4: but that's very good.
Speaker 2: So I can hear them through the next room and
Speaker 2: they're trying to make the sheets on Cordey's bed and
Speaker 2: they said there's a dead mouse living between his mattress.
Speaker 2: And she said, that is that is discussed on you.
Speaker 2: If that's true, that is very disgusting. See my father
Speaker 2: in law come back from the kitchen with a big
Speaker 2: garbage bag over his hand to come and collect the rat.
Speaker 4: I go in behind him a backup.
Speaker 2: Because he was in there.
Speaker 4: You should have pushed.
Speaker 2: Of the crime. It's his, it's his case. My mother
Speaker 2: in law still yelling the right on, like rocking back
Speaker 2: and forth in the corner. He goes to Grab the
Speaker 2: Dead Mouse and it's Gordie's plastic Rhino toys.
Speaker 3: All right, Jackie boy, what is double thumbs up for you?
Speaker 4: What have you enjoyed over the last couple of weeks?
Speaker 2: I mentioned the Vichy documentary this week it's on Netflix.
Speaker 4: I really like.
Speaker 2: It's called Tim. I'm Tim, and I never cared about
Speaker 2: m electronic dance music. I actually always wondered how it
Speaker 2: was so popular. But this is the first time they
Speaker 2: ever watched a documentary that made me care about it.
Speaker 2: And I care so much about a vachi now and
Speaker 2: we have had of vich.
Speaker 4: It's a really interesting talent.
Speaker 3: Obviously, we like the kind of music which is guitar
Speaker 3: and dramas and we know all that, but yeah, idiom
Speaker 3: music is huge. It brings so many people so much joy.
Speaker 3: And he's a real artist and visionary. He deserves to
Speaker 3: be respected like that.
Speaker 2: And he got to the point where every artist, whether
Speaker 2: they were electronic music or not a cold Play, I
Speaker 2: wanted to work with him because of his talents as
Speaker 2: behind the laptop and as a music producer. Then the
Speaker 2: other thing I really loved is we're watching No Good
Speaker 2: Deed on Netflix, which is Ray Romano and Lisa Kudro.
Speaker 2: They're a married couple and you enjoy it.
Speaker 4: I like it with it was.

Speaker 4: the how? I don't want to give too much.
Speaker 2: What's happened to the brother? Has happened to the brother?
Speaker 4: That's where we're right, okay, yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Should we keep watching?
Speaker 4: No? No, no, keep watching, keep watching?
Speaker 2: Want mystery?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, you have to get to the end of
Speaker 4: it as well.
Speaker 3: All right, Just a couple of things then from me,
Speaker 3: I read my first great book of the year by
Speaker 3: some month Harvey.
Speaker 4: I read in a.
Speaker 3: Couple of hours. It's a tiny little book, but it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's called Orbital. I think it won like the book
Speaker 3: a prize, but it is such a great read. You
Speaker 3: do it in a couple of hours, really really good book.
Speaker 3: My daughter's got it for me for Christmas. Nate Baghetti,
Speaker 3: one of the best storytellers, I would say the best
Speaker 3: storyteller stand up in the world right now, dropped a
Speaker 3: new special on Netflix over Christmas that is outstanding, just
Speaker 3: a masterclass in stand up and storytelling.
Speaker 4: It's a brilliant thing.

Speaker 2: he's the voice of Ways.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's got such a great voice, isn't it built
Speaker 3: for comedy?
Speaker 4: So you Delivery and.
Speaker 3: Then two other shows for me as well. There's so
Speaker 3: many great spy shows at the moment. It started a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago with the huge success of an
Speaker 3: outstanding show, Slow Horses, and then David, which I said
Speaker 3: last year I loved, and then there's a new one

Speaker 4: to be late seventies.
