<v Speaker 2>Got anything good?

0:00:20.060 --> 0:00:28.580
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. All right,

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the start of every Friday's show, we call it Double

0:00:30.540 --> 0:00:32.700
<v Speaker 1>Thumbs Up. We go around the team, we talk about

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the things that we're enjoying this week. Please tell me

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.740
<v Speaker 1>someone else has seen Ray Gunn, the documentary on Netflix.

0:00:37.780 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I watched it last night. Breaking Badly. What a

0:00:41.140 --> 0:00:42.319
<v Speaker 3>great title, firstly.

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.900
<v Speaker 4>And also, they mustn't have told her the title of

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 4>the documentary because if someone said to her, oh, yeah,

0:00:47.460 --> 0:00:48.780
<v Speaker 4>we're going to do a documentary on it, we're going

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:49.620
<v Speaker 4>to call it Breaking Badly.

0:00:49.659 --> 0:00:53.740
<v Speaker 1>I think the pitch was Netflix, documentary, you and your

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:59.230
<v Speaker 1>enabler husband. One word, enabler. He should have said something

0:00:59.270 --> 0:01:02.450
<v Speaker 1>to her. In any relationship, one of you can be deluded.

0:01:02.730 --> 0:01:04.890
<v Speaker 1>That's me and ours. You need someone else who's just

0:01:04.910 --> 0:01:07.410
<v Speaker 1>going to give you some painful, hard truth. Hey, you

0:01:07.450 --> 0:01:10.670
<v Speaker 1>know what? You can't break dance. Don't go on the

0:01:10.710 --> 0:01:13.300
<v Speaker 1>world's biggest stage and then be surprised when they go,

0:01:13.479 --> 0:01:14.100
<v Speaker 1>you're terrible.

0:01:14.380 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 4>It was completely his fault because she just was a

0:01:17.419 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 4>bad break dancer.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>He poorly trained her.

0:01:20.060 --> 0:01:23.580
<v Speaker 4>He poorly trained her, but she wasn't doing all these crazy, terrible,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 4>embarrassing moves.

0:01:24.710 --> 0:01:24.930
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:01:25.150 --> 0:01:27.410
<v Speaker 3>And then he goes, I've had an idea. I've had

0:01:27.449 --> 0:01:29.670
<v Speaker 3>an idea for the finals for the Olympics. Just restart it.

0:01:30.660 --> 0:01:33.010
<v Speaker 1>Act like a toddler having a tantrum, and you watch

0:01:33.039 --> 0:01:34.150
<v Speaker 1>those girls come our way.

0:01:34.850 --> 0:01:36.889
<v Speaker 4>And then he said he watched the performance, and he goes,

0:01:37.350 --> 0:01:38.930
<v Speaker 4>it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

0:01:38.970 --> 0:01:40.650
<v Speaker 3>That's not wrong.

0:01:40.669 --> 0:01:43.570
<v Speaker 1>Were you seeing that the rest of us untrained breakers?

0:01:46.990 --> 0:01:49.170
<v Speaker 1>But she's deeply charismatic.

0:01:49.350 --> 0:01:50.710
<v Speaker 3>She actually comes across quite well.

0:01:50.770 --> 0:01:51.030
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:01:51.090 --> 0:01:51.390
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:01:52.370 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And then there was other... She didn't learn a lesson.

0:01:54.620 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>She entered the competitions.

0:01:56.180 --> 0:01:58.900
<v Speaker 3>And she kept going. You can't say she's not persistent.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Australians love a battler.

0:02:00.020 --> 0:02:00.660
<v Speaker 3>They do.

0:02:00.919 --> 0:02:03.620
<v Speaker 1>But it was a lot. It was sad at times,

0:02:03.639 --> 0:02:06.060
<v Speaker 1>just the reaction personally. You know, when someone comes, we

0:02:06.100 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>don't really think about. You just think, oh, well, she

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.510
<v Speaker 1>did that. And you all pile on. You know, she

0:02:11.540 --> 0:02:13.889
<v Speaker 1>became a worldwide joke. You never really slow down to

0:02:13.930 --> 0:02:15.649
<v Speaker 1>think about the human level, what that would have been

0:02:15.669 --> 0:02:17.950
<v Speaker 1>like for her. And obviously seeing the documentary and what

0:02:17.990 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>she went through, and then the other side of it.

0:02:20.370 --> 0:02:22.350
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was a lot sweeter and a

0:02:22.370 --> 0:02:24.859
<v Speaker 1>hell of a lot funnier And I think it was

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.700
<v Speaker 1>funny and not for the reasons that even the filmmakers thought.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:28.740
<v Speaker 1>It was a husband.

0:02:28.940 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah. That husband needs to be locked up.

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:37.140
<v Speaker 1>He should have his own show. I think every couple

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>should watch that. And just so we understand, someone in

0:02:40.490 --> 0:02:41.890
<v Speaker 1>this relationship needs to tell the truth.

0:02:42.150 --> 0:02:44.770
<v Speaker 3>If I'm about to become a national embarrassment, you must

0:02:44.790 --> 0:02:46.730
<v Speaker 3>stop me. Yes, definitely.

0:02:47.010 --> 0:02:50.630
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Ray Gunn, Breaking Badly. Brand new Netflix

0:02:50.650 --> 0:02:53.970
<v Speaker 1>documentary dropped yesterday, as the kids say. It dropped. It's dropped.

0:02:54.410 --> 0:02:57.370
<v Speaker 1>It's dropping. It's going to drop. And then it's dropped.

0:02:58.050 --> 0:03:01.050
<v Speaker 1>It's dropped, guys. The show's dropping. This show is dropping

0:03:01.110 --> 0:03:04.010
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's out now. I'm dropping it now, okay?

0:03:05.230 --> 0:03:08.140
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I didn't realize is I know of

0:03:08.150 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the Nutbush. No one warns you about the Nutbush that

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>some night you're going to be in a room and

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>suddenly all Australians will just move as one. And no

0:03:16.900 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>one warns you this is a thing. It's actually quite scary.

0:03:18.940 --> 0:03:20.340
<v Speaker 1>You move to the side like, what are they doing?

0:03:20.940 --> 0:03:23.060
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know the sprinkler was also one of your moves.

0:03:23.300 --> 0:03:24.060
<v Speaker 3>Me neither.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Charleston, the Foxtrot countries all have their

0:03:27.490 --> 0:03:30.850
<v Speaker 1>own unique dances, but I didn't know yours were the sprinkler.

0:03:30.870 --> 0:03:33.250
<v Speaker 1>How we all laughed at Reagan, I didn't realize, wait,

0:03:33.270 --> 0:03:35.550
<v Speaker 1>there's 22 million of them that love doing the sprinkler.

0:03:36.250 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I didn't really, because it's such a.

0:03:37.150 --> 0:03:40.860
<v Speaker 1>And they say Australia has no culture. What about the sprinkler?

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 3>What about the sprinkler?

0:03:41.500 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 4>I had no idea myself that it was an Australian

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>dance move. I knew it was a famous and very

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 4>well-respected maneuver.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.780
<v Speaker 3>Especially at school. They didn't teach it at school. It's

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:50.740
<v Speaker 3>more just taught.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:51.380
<v Speaker 1>It's assumed.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like, you know how birds, when they're born, they

0:03:53.660 --> 0:03:57.610
<v Speaker 3>know where to fly to. You know the sprinkler. You

0:03:57.630 --> 0:03:59.050
<v Speaker 3>come out doing the sprinkler.

0:03:59.890 --> 0:04:02.290
<v Speaker 1>What about the rabbit and the roo? The kangaroo stole

0:04:02.310 --> 0:04:05.020
<v Speaker 1>to me. It's like the Nike swoosh. That's a rat.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.660
<v Speaker 1>Is that part of it as well, just the sprinkler?

0:04:08.740 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 4>Just the sprinkler. No, that's a Ray Gunn original. I

0:04:11.100 --> 0:04:12.660
<v Speaker 4>think she's probably trademarked it as well.

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.990
<v Speaker 1>Actually, she has. Patsy, what have you enjoyed this week, mate?

0:04:16.210 --> 0:04:19.169
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we've been riding to Dalliance, which is a great

0:04:19.290 --> 0:04:20.210
<v Speaker 2>new Aussie drama.

0:04:20.270 --> 0:04:20.909
<v Speaker 1>Hugo Weaving.

0:04:21.330 --> 0:04:22.590
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's got a huge cast.

0:04:22.610 --> 0:04:26.330
<v Speaker 1>He's having a massive resurgence. Hugo Weaving is in everything.

0:04:26.350 --> 0:04:29.510
<v Speaker 1>He is the heel turn. He's a horrific, brilliant baddie

0:04:29.620 --> 0:04:30.420
<v Speaker 1>in Slow Horses.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:31.020
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God, he's so good. He's incredible. And then

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I just started watching the show on SBS, a very,

0:04:36.770 --> 0:04:40.410
<v Speaker 1>It's a very mild show called The Airport Chapel. Oh, yes.

0:04:40.430 --> 0:04:42.290
<v Speaker 3>I saw the ads for that during the World Cup.

0:04:43.290 --> 0:04:47.110
<v Speaker 1>Hugo's the star of it. I really need it this week.

0:04:47.170 --> 0:04:52.670
<v Speaker 1>It's been a nice kind of– it's a real slow burn. Anyway, Patsy,

0:04:52.690 --> 0:04:53.490
<v Speaker 1>what's Daliance like?

0:04:53.510 --> 0:04:54.190
<v Speaker 3>People are raving about it.

0:04:54.190 --> 0:04:57.410
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's huge because it's got Hugo, it's got David Wenham,

0:04:57.550 --> 0:05:01.070
<v Speaker 2>Georgie Parker, Catherine McClemmons, Heather Mitchell, who I loved in

0:05:01.110 --> 0:05:04.660
<v Speaker 2>A Place to Call Home, beautifully filmed in Sydney. It's

0:05:04.690 --> 0:05:09.140
<v Speaker 2>a little six-episode series. I would describe it, Secret Life

0:05:09.180 --> 0:05:12.540
<v Speaker 2>of Us was a huge show here. So it's kind

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.820
<v Speaker 2>of like that for retirees.

0:05:14.850 --> 0:05:16.850
<v Speaker 3>But you're working.

0:05:17.190 --> 0:05:21.550
<v Speaker 2>Endearingly though, endearingly so. Like it follows the lives of

0:05:21.590 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>these group of 60-year-old or, you know, mates in their 60s.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.420
<v Speaker 2>So it's a bit like Secret Life of Us, but

0:05:28.460 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for people who are in that decade of their life.

0:05:31.500 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's absolutely brilliant. And it's not what it seems.

0:05:34.860 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't see that. You know these days how they

0:05:36.660 --> 0:05:43.020
<v Speaker 1>organise and all the streaming services, crime thrillers, documentary, sports documentaries, retirees.

0:05:44.620 --> 0:05:46.620
<v Speaker 1>Getting ready to die. This is a show for you.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.780
<v Speaker 2>It's about that season of your life and that you're

0:05:49.820 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>not dead yet, that there's still a.

0:05:51.280 --> 0:05:54.050
<v Speaker 3>Little living to do. Winter's coming for you, mate. Hey, listen, winter's.

0:05:54.470 --> 0:05:56.909
<v Speaker 1>It's six episodes because you ain't going to do 12 seasons.

0:05:57.150 --> 0:05:59.190
<v Speaker 1>You ain't going to do 12 seasons. You haven't got

0:05:59.210 --> 0:06:02.190
<v Speaker 1>that much time left. It's not Game of Thrones. What

0:06:02.210 --> 0:06:03.390
<v Speaker 1>it is, is it's two episodes.

0:06:03.410 --> 0:06:05.870
<v Speaker 3>Microdrama.

0:06:06.220 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I love a six-episode series. I love it because then

0:06:09.300 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I can move on to the next thing.

0:06:10.660 --> 0:06:12.020
<v Speaker 1>No, because I want to know. If I'm going to

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.900
<v Speaker 1>invest in this relationship, meet me halfway. Don't be leaving

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.250
<v Speaker 1>so soon. You know, by the time you're really getting

0:06:18.270 --> 0:06:19.750
<v Speaker 1>to know someone, you're saying goodbye.

0:06:19.830 --> 0:06:20.690
<v Speaker 3>It's so hard.

0:06:20.710 --> 0:06:20.849
<v Speaker 1>So hard.

0:06:21.290 --> 0:06:24.110
<v Speaker 2>But it's got a beautiful Hugo Weaving in there with the,

0:06:24.210 --> 0:06:25.710
<v Speaker 2>you know, the hair and the beard.

0:06:25.770 --> 0:06:26.650
<v Speaker 3>Look, I loved it.

0:06:26.670 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>That's all you need in a man, isn't it?

0:06:28.510 --> 0:06:29.529
<v Speaker 3>You've got a hair and a beard.

0:06:29.790 --> 0:06:30.670
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting in your truck.

0:06:30.690 --> 0:06:31.830
<v Speaker 3>No, it was brilliant.

0:06:31.890 --> 0:06:34.529
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that I've noticed, this is like a really,

0:06:34.630 --> 0:06:38.490
<v Speaker 2>it's just a little series on YouTube. It's called Family Dinner.

0:06:38.590 --> 0:06:41.270
<v Speaker 2>It's a short little, it's got like comedy shorts on.

0:06:41.590 --> 0:06:44.250
<v Speaker 2>So each sort of episode, if you like, goes for,

0:06:44.330 --> 0:06:46.850
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, four or five minutes. It's basically just

0:06:46.890 --> 0:06:50.420
<v Speaker 2>a family set in the 80s sitting around dinner and

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.539
<v Speaker 2>just the shenanigans that go on, just the conversation. And

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.740
<v Speaker 2>you think, oh, this family is so dysfunctional. And then

0:06:55.780 --> 0:06:58.300
<v Speaker 2>you think, yeah, but that's actually like my family. Like

0:06:58.340 --> 0:07:01.830
<v Speaker 2>it's actually really relatable. If you like the Goldbergs, you

0:07:01.850 --> 0:07:02.469
<v Speaker 2>will love this.

0:07:02.510 --> 0:07:03.290
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God, I love the Goldbergs.

0:07:03.310 --> 0:07:04.310
<v Speaker 2>It's hilarious.

0:07:04.330 --> 0:07:04.930
<v Speaker 1>It's a brilliant sitcom.

0:07:04.950 --> 0:07:08.170
<v Speaker 2>It's called Family Dinner. You'll see it on YouTube. It's really,

0:07:08.210 --> 0:07:08.750
<v Speaker 2>really funny.

0:07:08.950 --> 0:07:09.460
<v Speaker 3>All right. Thanks, Pat.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, double thumbs up for me this week. The

0:07:13.540 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>new series of Slow Horses is the best one. I

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>was lucky enough to see a preview of it last month.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>It is outstanding. Enjoy it when you can. We're down

0:07:20.180 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to the last two seasons of Slow Horses. Been one

0:07:22.670 --> 0:07:26.790
<v Speaker 1>of the best TV shows over the last couple of years, actually. Lanterns,

0:07:26.810 --> 0:07:29.970
<v Speaker 1>I originally thought, not sure about this, has now become

0:07:30.010 --> 0:07:31.450
<v Speaker 1>my current favorite TV show.

0:07:31.470 --> 0:07:34.410
<v Speaker 3>Is that the Green Lantern? Yes. Yes, my partner's watching that.

0:07:34.430 --> 0:07:34.910
<v Speaker 3>He loves it.

0:07:35.130 --> 0:07:37.730
<v Speaker 1>It's got so much better. It's out, the episode three,

0:07:37.750 --> 0:07:41.620
<v Speaker 1>which came out this week, fellow Lantern fans, was incredible.

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Watched it twice.

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.580
<v Speaker 1>It's just got so much better.

0:07:44.860 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 3>What's his power?

0:07:45.900 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Is it... It's the ring, but it's so much about

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.220
<v Speaker 1>why he didn't really earn the right to have the ring.

0:07:51.740 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I know this is going to sound real.

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 3>What's happening, Christian?

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:55.770
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, has he turned into a 12-year-old boy?

0:07:55.790 --> 0:07:56.690
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've never heard you talk about this.

0:07:56.710 --> 0:07:58.390
<v Speaker 1>Has he brought his comic books in for today's show?

0:07:58.990 --> 0:08:00.330
<v Speaker 1>Here you go, volume five.

0:08:01.910 --> 0:08:04.150
<v Speaker 3>I'm not one of those. No, you don't watch any Marvel. No, no,

0:08:04.170 --> 0:08:04.750
<v Speaker 3>I really don't.

0:08:04.850 --> 0:08:07.670
<v Speaker 1>This is DC. Oh, hey.

0:08:07.930 --> 0:08:08.310
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:08:09.010 --> 0:08:11.090
<v Speaker 1>Just step back from the mic a bit, okay? Today's

0:08:11.130 --> 0:08:16.170
<v Speaker 1>show is dropping. It's dropped, okay? So, yeah, Lanterns is fantastic.

0:08:17.030 --> 0:08:22.110
<v Speaker 1>Start also watching the brand-new season of The Gentleman. The

0:08:22.130 --> 0:08:23.750
<v Speaker 1>way it works with Double Thumbs Up, if we don't

0:08:23.790 --> 0:08:25.220
<v Speaker 1>like a show we don't talk about, that's all we've

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.490
<v Speaker 1>got to say with The Gentleman. A lot of other

0:08:28.510 --> 0:08:31.190
<v Speaker 1>people perhaps are watching dalliance and saying how great it is.

0:08:31.330 --> 0:08:36.179
<v Speaker 1>It's brilliant. They're just messaging from their care homes, actually.

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.819
<v Speaker 1>But it's good to see you found your fans. The

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.150
