Speaker 3: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this week. Double thumbs up.
Speaker 1: This is where we go around the team. We share
Speaker 1: the things we're into at the moment, maybe a TV show,
Speaker 1: a movie, a book, and you can share yours as well.
Speaker 1: What are you enjoying at the moment? Share it with
Speaker 1: us four seventy five three one oh four three. Patsy,
Speaker 1: what are you enjoying?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm into from now. This is on Stan and
Speaker 2: it's the fifth and final season. When my husband and
Speaker 2: I stumbled across this when we were surfing what to
Speaker 2: watch one night, he stopped on this thing. It is
Speaker 2: cy Phi horror and it is not my job known
Speaker 2: as psi Phi horror horror. Yes, sci fi horror. And
Speaker 2: I said to Chris, oh no, I don't think I'd
Speaker 2: like this. This is isn't my genre genre and he said,
Speaker 2: give it a go. And I I love this thing
Speaker 2: and I've been hanging out for this fifth season. So
Speaker 2: it's about a town in Middle America where people get trapped,
Speaker 2: they can't get out, and it's by the same producers
Speaker 2: as Lost, and what it's been all these scenarios.
Speaker 4: You don't know what are they doing there? Why can't
Speaker 4: they get out?
Speaker 2: With all these loose ends, and it's finally starting to unravel.
Speaker 1: And I guess also for you and Chris, it probably
Speaker 1: hits quite close to home, living way out way, Oh
Speaker 1: why can't they get out? Why can't they get over
Speaker 1: that bridge?
Speaker 5: Is it aliens? We're just stuck.
Speaker 1: Don't say to pass his face that that's how we
Speaker 1: say off.
Speaker 4: But it's weird.
Speaker 2: It's like they're getting there's like all these theories I have,
Speaker 2: they're getting reincarnated, and there's certain residents in the town
Speaker 2: that have been there before and they haven't done it
Speaker 2: right before.
Speaker 4: It's like they have to get it right to be
Speaker 4: free out of the game.
Speaker 1: Those shows always come around every couple of years, and
Speaker 1: they're great. There was a brilliant one about five or
Speaker 1: eight years ago called Leftovers that was outstanding. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: just so good. I loved Lost as well. I stuck
Speaker 1: with Loss all the way through the bitter end, the
Speaker 1: bitter end. I remember interviewing the show runners who then
Speaker 1: went on to do many great things as well, and
Speaker 1: they said it was they just didn't know it was
Speaker 1: going to come over five seas. They had no idea.
Speaker 1: And also, you put it together a pitch the first episode,
Speaker 1: you film it, then it gets in order for a season,
Speaker 1: you don't know whether there's gonna be two three. They
Speaker 1: didn't know it was going to be such big demand
Speaker 1: around the world, and so they said they just ran
Speaker 1: out of road for it. Now literally were making stuff up,
Speaker 1: and we're like, yeah, we saw that. And that whole
Speaker 1: pogetry thing in season five was like, oh, come on,
Speaker 1: there in God's waiting room.
Speaker 4: This is what I'm worried about with this.
Speaker 1: Right as soon as you said season five seasons they're
Speaker 1: in God's waiting room.
Speaker 2: They better not let me down because I've invested myself
Speaker 2: even more than I did in Lost in this and
Speaker 2: I reckon it's going to be good. And who the
Speaker 2: hell is the guy in the yellow suit? I need
Speaker 2: to find out. Have a look at it.
Speaker 6: Cash Man from on Stand And also just honorable mention quickly,
Speaker 6: if you need a movie this weekend lots out at
Speaker 6: the moment, do have a look at Michael biggest biopic
Speaker 6: opening ever across the globe two hundred and seventeen point
Speaker 6: four million dollars.
Speaker 4: And there's a reason why. Two parts. First part now,
Speaker 4: second part I believe will drop next year.
Speaker 1: Oh is that what they've done? Yes, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: It's such a oh hang on, So the second part.
Speaker 5: I'm interested nally, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Because the one big thing that everyone's saying, oh you
Speaker 1: just curiously pause it right here, right on the cusp
Speaker 1: of all correct.
Speaker 2: The other thing, that one thing, I would say, we
Speaker 2: know what happened, we know the stories and the court
Speaker 2: cases and everything, go in. Just focus on his talent
Speaker 2: for this one, Okay, just focus on the phenomena.
Speaker 1: Bit of a request because the stories and stuff that
Speaker 1: are pretty fine.
Speaker 4: But I know, I know that.
Speaker 1: Just think about the moonwalking. Look, think about the sleepovers
Speaker 1: with young lads. Stop next year, how about that moon more?
Speaker 1: For get the monkey move in.
Speaker 4: Jafar, his nephew is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1: Christian Color show podcast things I'm into this week as
Speaker 1: a stand up obsessive. I'm really enjoying Kevin Hart's new show.
Speaker 1: It's a stand up competition or Netflix the winner. They're
Speaker 1: all unknown comics but they've been doing it for five
Speaker 1: to ten years and some are semi pro, some a
Speaker 1: little bit further down the line, but they are all unknown.
Speaker 1: And they're going around LA New York, Chicago, Boston, big cities,
Speaker 1: and the winner against a Netflix special, change and so
Speaker 1: and each city he's in, he's getting famous comedians to
Speaker 1: come and be part of the guest panel, like Tom
Speaker 1: Segura as well. And so these comics, there's about ten
Speaker 1: in each heat. In each city they get five minutes.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting seeing with stand up there's like different
Speaker 1: archetypes often of like the nerd, you know, there's the
Speaker 1: middle aged guy, and you can plot the different ones.
Speaker 1: But just seeing how hard it is in five minutes
Speaker 1: to get your voice over, who you are, how confident
Speaker 1: you are, how you start strong, and how you are
Speaker 1: en strong in five minutes. Who does it? Who kind
Speaker 1: of does it? Who stacks are landing under huge pressure?
Speaker 1: You know that if you go through, you could be
Speaker 1: getting a Netflix special, but that's the job, you know.
Speaker 1: And and it was Kevin Hart. He's got such an energy.
Speaker 1: He's such a twinkly little guy, isn't he And he's brilliant.
Speaker 1: He's kind of with all these kids as well. He
Speaker 1: knows what it's like. But it's fascinating, really really interesting.
Speaker 1: It's called Funny af it's really you'd find it an
Speaker 1: interesting team. Actually, he's very very good. Uh. The other
Speaker 1: one that I'm really enjoying. I never ready got into

Speaker 1: starring in his own show he's created, called Big Mistakes.
Speaker 1: It is outstanding. Oh my god, it's really really laugh
Speaker 1: out loud funny. Oh my god, it's hysterical. It's if
Speaker 1: I describe it, it'll give too much a work. You'll
Speaker 1: get it the first ten or fifteen minutes. And if
Speaker 1: I said it now you go. I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1: It's good, Okay, very very very good. It's just what
Speaker 1: you need right now, a crazy distraction from the crazy
Speaker 1: world around us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we burned through that, loved it.

Speaker 1: I kind of thought the way they ended it. It
Speaker 1: was like a proper end, and there were so many
Speaker 1: people leaving and changing. It was like they all they
Speaker 1: ended it well. So I wasn't sure how I felt,
Speaker 1: But the until I watched the trailer, I was Ar'm
Speaker 1: back for that. Christian really enjoyed. I know you've been
Speaker 1: talking about the last couple of years. I finally got
Speaker 1: around to watching Shrinking. I just finished there, the most

Speaker 1: end is so moving. Have you seen the Netflix part
Speaker 1: three series three part series, Arnold, I haven't, Christian Frank here,
Speaker 1: what was the name of the TV show pats was
Speaker 1: talking about? It sounds like the kind of thing we'd like,
Speaker 1: Patsy the name of it again?
Speaker 4: From on Stan?
Speaker 1: Now Rio, what is the chess TV shows?
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, It's called I'm told it's Chess Mates,
Speaker 5: which is the story of it happen a couple of
Speaker 5: years ago. You've got Magnus Carlson, the greatest ever chess
Speaker 5: player to ever ever play in it.
Speaker 1: He's better than like kasprov because years ago it was
Speaker 1: all Gary Kasproov and he took on the IBM blew
Speaker 1: the computer back in the day.
Speaker 5: No one has been as dominant as Magnus Carlson. He's
Speaker 5: completely untouchable.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a similar to the World's Strongest Man.
Speaker 1: They're all called Magnus Carlson.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're all from Norway or and so he's this,
Speaker 5: you know, genius, savant, untouchable chess legend. And then there's
Speaker 5: this up and comer, Hans Nieman, a brash young American
Speaker 5: who streams. He posts on Twitch. He's very loud, he's arrogant,
Speaker 5: he's brash, but he's not particularly very good.
Speaker 1: Says to me heated rivals under a chessboard.
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny you say that. Actually, episode four, there's
Speaker 5: a huge They finally face each other in a match
Speaker 5: not over the computer, in person, and Hans, the young American,
Speaker 5: beats Magnus, which is thought to be almost mathematically impossible.
Speaker 5: He beats him in this crazy match. Magnus accuses him
Speaker 5: of cheating. Oh now, I can't tell you, becase would
Speaker 5: you cheat.
Speaker 1: It because it's there's cameras everywhere.
Speaker 5: Yes, and you know all you're doing is moving, you know,
Speaker 5: pieces around a board. I won't I won't say how now,
Speaker 5: I mean I will see that I won't say how
Speaker 5: he's accused of cheating here because it's quite experience.
Speaker 1: It's not like taking performance enhancing drugs, is he No?
Speaker 1: It is more I'm like, how could you cheat and chess?
Speaker 1: We all see the pieces. That's they're stopping that little
Speaker 1: clock all the time. That's the big fascinating question.
Speaker 5: Possible. How do I say this using products that you
Speaker 5: would use in an adult setting loop No moretronic.
Speaker 1: Product what to.
Speaker 5: Stay awake and concentrate, Yeah, to send signals to do so,
Speaker 5: moves that might.
Speaker 3: Be what.
Speaker 1: Now you're sexy and sell chest pieces sexy? Well they
Speaker 1: might look like the night or castle, Yes, exactly. So
Speaker 1: it's a very different board game product.
Speaker 5: That's how he's accused of cheating, and it blows up
Speaker 5: into this hole. Say there's a whole investigation into it,
Speaker 5: he gets banned. I won't see how it ends, because
Speaker 5: you want to know was he cheating?
Speaker 1: Was he not? Wash over the weekend? What a wild story?
Speaker 1: I remember music. There were two great rifles. It was
Speaker 1: cast off for somebody else, and they turned out that
Speaker 1: they were kicking each other under the table and the
Speaker 1: shins to put each other off, And then they had
Speaker 1: to have a giant thick board between them so they
Speaker 1: wouldn't kick each other. There's always been this crazy rivalry
Speaker 1: between you think, just at this game of like you know,
Speaker 1: scientists almost because it's so scientific. Yeah, they used to
Speaker 1: have this giant block under the term something kicking each
Speaker 1: other in the shins to put each other off.
Speaker 5: Not quite the game of kings.
