WEBVTT - MINI: Double Thumbs Up

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Question.

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Every

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Friday we do double thumbs Up.

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Friday, Patsy is still of six, should be back on

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the show, and hopefully next week we are still going

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to do double thumbs up. This is where we're telling

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>about the TV shows or things we're into this week.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>For my wife and I'm massive Game of Thrones fans,

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>it's only about one TV show.

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>House of Dragon.

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Entered the world records this week, the most streamed first

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>episode of the TV show ever huge Game of Thrones,

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 1>obviously massive. And then there's this and you're gonna very

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>get this right. So I know you've not seen Game

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>of Thrones, so obviously it's some kind of prequel about

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the origin of the dragons from the Game of Thrones. Sure,

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>opening line and it made me laugh on the first episodes,

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>which we loved, absolutely brilliant. On this week on Monday,

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>it's set one hundred This is one hundred and seventy

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>nine years before Game of Thrones. Right, we all know

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>prequels they don't go about that far, do they. Why

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>are hope? I mean I want to see the preqel

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.559
<v Speaker 1>for cheers? What was that bar doing two hundred years ago,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred right, one hundred and eighty Why one hundred

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and seventy nine years?

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>So the dragons babies or they're not born yet.

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like the grandfathers of the dragons. They're

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>flipping hugely dragons. They've gotten it, so they're not tini

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>at once. Or I just presume they'd be eggs and

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>we get the whole them's hatching.

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>So there's not one character from Game of Thrones that's

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>done in the prequel.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>No, it's they're relatives.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that a shame? No? Do you want to see

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>some of your favorite No, it's good. I think when

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>they give them that young people make up.

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh I wish we could all have some of that

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>young people make up. Also. Game of Thrones, even if

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen it, it is so graphic and violent

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>at times. However, even because that hasn't been on for

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a while, I forgot how bad it can be. Right,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>So my wife and I sat down, we had snacks.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>We're looking forward to us. We love Game of Thrones.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Ten minutes in ten minutes in my wife is gags

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>running out of the room, A man.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Is having his how can I describe this dragon?

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not as dragon I left. That's man purse chopped

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>off and you actually see someone holding up like my

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>wife is screaming running out the room, thinking you don't

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>even have that. I should be the one screaming. My

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>wife goes there should be some sort of warning. I

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>don't they have like that graphic sort of graphic nudity

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>in that how can have antesticles will be forcibly removed?

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh I didn't mind the nudity, but I know the

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>clackers are forcibly removed.

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm out of this and someone holds them up as

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>if holds them up.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Look what I've got this it's just horrific. I've got

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the sort of thinking about it all this week. And

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I used to sometimes watch Grand Designs to laugh at people,

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, you just laugh at the bozo's on Grand Designs.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>They go and this is going to be like the

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>wine cellar here and that Lisse blow hard and it

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>always runs over there always an't run over money. Don't

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>they take ages? And you can tell they split up

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>when they go back and see them and they're like

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>they're not hanging out together.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>They just through.

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a new shot up that where we just watched them.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>It's called Escape to the Chateau, and it's these people

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>who sold up from anywhere in the world. There's one

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>that's many English people on there who actually look like

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.119
<v Speaker 1>they've come from Central Casting from Richard Curtis movie. They're like, yeah,

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>so it's just fancy buying, Derek, didn't We just fancy

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>buying somewhere nice in France? And this is still this chateau.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>It's only like three and a half millions, three and

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a half million dollars for a flipping chateau. Only that anyway,

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>this week's episode there's an Aussie couple that sold up

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>their chemist and bought a chateau. How much money is

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in the chemist world in in the Australia commit they

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 1>bought a chateau with the money. You have to watch this,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>watch an episode off.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>It right, Oh, I love Grand Designs for that very raca.

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>My spinal tap is honestly like it's beyond parody. It's

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>called Escape to the Chateau.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It's always over budget over time, yeah exception, I've never

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>seen an episode where like, oh, yeah, we built it

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>just like we wanted to actually came in under budget

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:47.119
<v Speaker 2>and we're already done.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>You know. Also, these days we're in the world down

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>now everything Like you watch The Block or Married at

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>First Sight, they're cut. They're so dramatic, aren't they coming

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>up next to you? Oh my god, I can't miss this.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>This is the dullest, slowest TV show. We watched an hour.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>The highlight was a guy in his dad clearing out

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a train.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>That was it. So they buy a shadow the top

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and then just do it.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Up and like it feels a real time. It's so bad.

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I hate watch it. You have to

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>watch Escape to the Chateau, Jackie boy.

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>What are you into at the moment? I'm watching one

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>that on the surface sounds as boring as Escape to

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the Chateau sounds, because it's essentially contestants building a bridge.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>And when I pictured to my wife, well, engineers essentially. Yes,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 2>they've got their contestants, but they put on an island

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>in Tasmania and they.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Have to there's something from Adam Potridge funky Tennis, I

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>have to build. I'm sorry if you can't escape from Tasmania.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Contrastcape to Tasmania. You'll live here for life with no

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>footy team.

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, the only way off the island? Build your

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>way off the island?

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>What a bridge to Australia.

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 2>They have to build a bridge to No another remote

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>another remote island three hundred meters away, and on the

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>remote island is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars which

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they're playing for. What do you how do they go

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and build a bridge? Yeah?

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think people are competing.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought it would be a lot of engineers and

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>they actually build like a cable extension bridge or something.

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>No, it's just like tell Thomas watching Couplet, like we

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>all know what a cable extension bridge is.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I've never even heard of that. Actually go to isn't it?

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>That's cheating? Really? They essentially end up doing like logs

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 2>across floating across water like little rafts. But it becomes

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>like a survivor episode because they're all vying to win

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>this money. So they build the bridge together, but only

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>one person gets a cross and they get to choose

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>whether they share the money with everybody else or that.

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>It's actually it's really good. Three episodes in, we're done

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that thing now where we're ahead of it, so we're

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>waiting for new episodes to come out. That's on Paramount Plus.

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we check it out.

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
