And then there's this and you're gonna very 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: get this right. So I know you've not seen Game 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: of Thrones, so obviously it's some kind of prequel about 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: the origin of the dragons from the Game of Thrones. Sure, 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: opening line and it made me laugh on the first episodes, 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: which we loved, absolutely brilliant. On this week on Monday, 19 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: it's set one hundred This is one hundred and seventy 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: nine years before Game of Thrones. Right, we all know 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: prequels they don't go about that far, do they. Why 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: are hope? I mean I want to see the preqel 23 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: for cheers? What was that bar doing two hundred years ago, 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: one hundred right, one hundred and eighty Why one hundred 25 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: and seventy nine years? 26 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: So the dragons babies or they're not born yet. 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: I think it's like the grandfathers of the dragons. They're 28 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: flipping hugely dragons. They've gotten it, so they're not tini 29 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: at once. Or I just presume they'd be eggs and 30 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: we get the whole them's hatching. 31 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: So there's not one character from Game of Thrones that's 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: done in the prequel. 33 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: No, it's they're relatives. 34 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: Isn't that a shame? No? Do you want to see 35 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: some of your favorite No, it's good. I think when 36 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: they give them that young people make up. 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Oh I wish we could all have some of that 38 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: young people make up. Also. Game of Thrones, even if 39 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: you've never seen it, it is so graphic and violent 40 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: at times. However, even because that hasn't been on for 41 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: a while, I forgot how bad it can be. Right, 42 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: So my wife and I sat down, we had snacks. 43 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: We're looking forward to us.

There's one 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: that's many English people on there who actually look like 73 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: they've come from Central Casting from Richard Curtis movie.

Only that anyway, 78 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: this week's episode there's an Aussie couple that sold up 79 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: their chemist and bought a chateau.

It's 85 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: called Escape to the Chateau. 86 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: It's always over budget over time, yeah exception, I've never 87 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: seen an episode where like, oh, yeah, we built it 88 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: just like we wanted to actually came in under budget 89 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 2: and we're already done. 90 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: You know. Also, these days we're in the world down 91 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: now everything Like you watch The Block or Married at 92 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: First Sight, they're cut. They're so dramatic, aren't they coming 93 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: up next to you? Oh my god, I can't miss this. 94 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: This is the dullest, slowest TV show. We watched an hour. 95 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: The highlight was a guy in his dad clearing out 96 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: a train. 97 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: That was it. So they buy a shadow the top 98 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: and then just do it. 99 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Up and like it feels a real time. It's so bad. 100 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: I love it. 101 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I hate watch it. You have to 102 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: watch Escape to the Chateau, Jackie boy. 103 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: What are you into at the moment? I'm watching one 104 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: that on the surface sounds as boring as Escape to 105 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: the Chateau sounds, because it's essentially contestants building a bridge. 106 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: And when I pictured to my wife, well, engineers essentially. Yes, 107 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: they've got their contestants, but they put on an island 108 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: in Tasmania and they. 109 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Have to there's something from Adam Potridge funky Tennis, I 110 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: have to build. I'm sorry if you can't escape from Tasmania. 111 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: Contrastcape to Tasmania. You'll live here for life with no 112 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: footy team. 113 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the only way off the island? Build your 114 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: way off the island? 115 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: What a bridge to Australia. 116 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: They have to build a bridge to No another remote 117 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: another remote island three hundred meters away, and on the 118 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: remote island is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars which 119 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: they're playing for. What do you how do they go 120 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: and build a bridge? Yeah? 121 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: I think people are competing. 122 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: I thought it would be a lot of engineers and 123 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: they actually build like a cable extension bridge or something. 124 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: No, it's just like tell Thomas watching Couplet, like we 125 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: all know what a cable extension bridge is. 126 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: I've never even heard of that. Actually go to isn't it? 127 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: That's cheating? Really? They essentially end up doing like logs 128 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: across floating across water like little rafts. But it becomes 129 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: like a survivor episode because they're all vying to win 130 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: this money. So they build the bridge together, but only 131 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: one person gets a cross and they get to choose 132 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: whether they share the money with everybody else or that. 133 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: It's actually it's really good. Three episodes in, we're done 134 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: that thing now where we're ahead of it, so we're 135 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: waiting for new episodes to come out. That's on Paramount Plus. 136 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: Okay, we check it out. 137 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
