Speaker 1: Question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Every
Speaker 2: Friday we do double thumbs Up.
Speaker 1: Friday, Patsy is still of six, should be back on
Speaker 1: the show, and hopefully next week we are still going
Speaker 1: to do double thumbs up. This is where we're telling
Speaker 1: about the TV shows or things we're into this week.
Speaker 1: For my wife and I'm massive Game of Thrones fans,
Speaker 1: it's only about one TV show.
Speaker 2: House of Dragon.
Speaker 1: Entered the world records this week, the most streamed first
Speaker 1: episode of the TV show ever huge Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: obviously massive. And then there's this and you're gonna very
Speaker 1: get this right. So I know you've not seen Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, so obviously it's some kind of prequel about
Speaker 1: the origin of the dragons from the Game of Thrones. Sure,
Speaker 1: opening line and it made me laugh on the first episodes,
Speaker 1: which we loved, absolutely brilliant. On this week on Monday,
Speaker 1: it's set one hundred This is one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: nine years before Game of Thrones. Right, we all know
Speaker 1: prequels they don't go about that far, do they. Why
Speaker 1: are hope? I mean I want to see the preqel
Speaker 1: for cheers? What was that bar doing two hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: one hundred right, one hundred and eighty Why one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy nine years?
Speaker 2: So the dragons babies or they're not born yet.
Speaker 1: I think it's like the grandfathers of the dragons. They're
Speaker 1: flipping hugely dragons. They've gotten it, so they're not tini
Speaker 1: at once. Or I just presume they'd be eggs and
Speaker 1: we get the whole them's hatching.
Speaker 2: So there's not one character from Game of Thrones that's
Speaker 2: done in the prequel.
Speaker 1: No, it's they're relatives.
Speaker 2: Isn't that a shame? No? Do you want to see
Speaker 2: some of your favorite No, it's good. I think when
Speaker 2: they give them that young people make up.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish we could all have some of that
Speaker 1: young people make up. Also. Game of Thrones, even if
Speaker 1: you've never seen it, it is so graphic and violent
Speaker 1: at times. However, even because that hasn't been on for
Speaker 1: a while, I forgot how bad it can be. Right,
Speaker 1: So my wife and I sat down, we had snacks.
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to us. We love Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes in ten minutes in my wife is gags
Speaker 1: running out of the room, A man.
Speaker 2: Is having his how can I describe this dragon?
Speaker 1: It's not as dragon I left. That's man purse chopped
Speaker 1: off and you actually see someone holding up like my
Speaker 1: wife is screaming running out the room, thinking you don't
Speaker 1: even have that. I should be the one screaming. My
Speaker 1: wife goes there should be some sort of warning. I
Speaker 1: don't they have like that graphic sort of graphic nudity
Speaker 1: in that how can have antesticles will be forcibly removed?
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't mind the nudity, but I know the
Speaker 1: clackers are forcibly removed.
Speaker 2: I'm out of this and someone holds them up as
Speaker 2: if holds them up.
Speaker 1: Look what I've got this it's just horrific. I've got
Speaker 1: the sort of thinking about it all this week. And
Speaker 1: I used to sometimes watch Grand Designs to laugh at people,
Speaker 1: you know, you just laugh at the bozo's on Grand Designs.
Speaker 1: They go and this is going to be like the
Speaker 1: wine cellar here and that Lisse blow hard and it
Speaker 1: always runs over there always an't run over money. Don't
Speaker 1: they take ages? And you can tell they split up
Speaker 1: when they go back and see them and they're like
Speaker 1: they're not hanging out together.
Speaker 2: They just through.
Speaker 1: There's a new shot up that where we just watched them.
Speaker 1: It's called Escape to the Chateau, and it's these people
Speaker 1: who sold up from anywhere in the world. There's one
Speaker 1: that's many English people on there who actually look like
Speaker 1: they've come from Central Casting from Richard Curtis movie. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's just fancy buying, Derek, didn't We just fancy
Speaker 1: buying somewhere nice in France? And this is still this chateau.
Speaker 1: It's only like three and a half millions, three and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars for a flipping chateau. Only that anyway,
Speaker 1: this week's episode there's an Aussie couple that sold up
Speaker 1: their chemist and bought a chateau. How much money is
Speaker 1: in the chemist world in in the Australia commit they
Speaker 1: bought a chateau with the money. You have to watch this,
Speaker 1: watch an episode off.
Speaker 2: It right, Oh, I love Grand Designs for that very raca.
Speaker 1: My spinal tap is honestly like it's beyond parody. It's
Speaker 1: called Escape to the Chateau.
Speaker 2: It's always over budget over time, yeah exception, I've never
Speaker 2: seen an episode where like, oh, yeah, we built it
Speaker 2: just like we wanted to actually came in under budget
Speaker 2: and we're already done.
Speaker 1: You know. Also, these days we're in the world down
Speaker 1: now everything Like you watch The Block or Married at
Speaker 1: First Sight, they're cut. They're so dramatic, aren't they coming
Speaker 1: up next to you? Oh my god, I can't miss this.
Speaker 1: This is the dullest, slowest TV show. We watched an hour.
Speaker 1: The highlight was a guy in his dad clearing out
Speaker 1: a train.
Speaker 2: That was it. So they buy a shadow the top
Speaker 2: and then just do it.
Speaker 1: Up and like it feels a real time. It's so bad.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I hate watch it. You have to
Speaker 1: watch Escape to the Chateau, Jackie boy.
Speaker 2: What are you into at the moment? I'm watching one
Speaker 2: that on the surface sounds as boring as Escape to
Speaker 2: the Chateau sounds, because it's essentially contestants building a bridge.
Speaker 2: And when I pictured to my wife, well, engineers essentially. Yes,
Speaker 2: they've got their contestants, but they put on an island
Speaker 2: in Tasmania and they.
Speaker 1: Have to there's something from Adam Potridge funky Tennis, I
Speaker 1: have to build. I'm sorry if you can't escape from Tasmania.
Speaker 1: Contrastcape to Tasmania. You'll live here for life with no
Speaker 1: footy team.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the only way off the island? Build your
Speaker 2: way off the island?
Speaker 1: What a bridge to Australia.
Speaker 2: They have to build a bridge to No another remote
Speaker 2: another remote island three hundred meters away, and on the
Speaker 2: remote island is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars which
Speaker 2: they're playing for. What do you how do they go
Speaker 2: and build a bridge? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think people are competing.
Speaker 2: I thought it would be a lot of engineers and
Speaker 2: they actually build like a cable extension bridge or something.
Speaker 1: No, it's just like tell Thomas watching Couplet, like we
Speaker 1: all know what a cable extension bridge is.
Speaker 2: I've never even heard of that. Actually go to isn't it?
Speaker 2: That's cheating? Really? They essentially end up doing like logs
Speaker 2: across floating across water like little rafts. But it becomes
Speaker 2: like a survivor episode because they're all vying to win
Speaker 2: this money. So they build the bridge together, but only
Speaker 2: one person gets a cross and they get to choose
Speaker 2: whether they share the money with everybody else or that.
Speaker 2: It's actually it's really good. Three episodes in, we're done
Speaker 2: that thing now where we're ahead of it, so we're
Speaker 2: waiting for new episodes to come out. That's on Paramount Plus.
Speaker 1: Okay, we check it out.
Speaker 2: This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
