Speaker 2: Got anything good?
Speaker 1: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the weekend Rio. Thank you Patsy, thank you he has
Speaker 1: made it weird. Is great to become aggressive.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the weekend. That's I think that's an appropriate response.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, do I throw it back to you?
Speaker 1: Welcome here, seemly say Chanks, Alex, Happy Friday. We're going
Speaker 1: to be okay today. The shark is in the water already.
Speaker 1: Can I just say the shark in the water? All right?
Speaker 1: The first half hour of It'll be Down a Friday,
Speaker 1: we go around the team. We call it double thumbs
Speaker 1: up and the things that we're enjoying this week. Warning, Warning, warning,
Speaker 1: Patsy has brought a physical item, a prop.
Speaker 2: It's always thumb nah, is it?
Speaker 1: I actually think of it the opposite way, all right?
Speaker 1: Two from me. Last week I was talking about Hama
Speaker 1: why wife loves sci Fi, and so we'd start to
Speaker 1: watch Foundation and I wasn't sure if it was getting
Speaker 1: to get any better. It was gobbledygook about Starlock's Terminus
Speaker 1: and eighty seven other planets and soda symptems. I couldn't
Speaker 1: keep up with it all. A lot of you text
Speaker 1: in saying, stay with it. It's brilliant and we have
Speaker 1: stuck it out. It's awesome and you understand it. I do, well, No,
Speaker 1: neither my wife or I understand it. But we're okay now.
Speaker 1: In ignorance, actually, I think is one of the ten
Speaker 1: steps to enlightenment is actually just admitting we know nothing,
Speaker 1: but being happy in that. But no, very very good.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that is back season two of
Speaker 1: the Terminal lists on Prime. Oh my god. Chris Prout, Stearine,
Speaker 1: Taylor Kitsch started in the first season, which was really
Speaker 1: really good. Second season is even better. There's no Chris Pratt.
Speaker 1: He's obviously doing Jurassic Park. So what they have is
Speaker 1: he keeps is this on the phone? Oh right, it's
Speaker 1: pretty it is, and they might they just play his voice.
Speaker 1: What a great way to get a bit of coin,
Speaker 1: you know, can we try that one? You know, Alex
Speaker 1: is near, but he's on the phone right now. That's
Speaker 1: the sports to your team. Chris Patt is in it,
Speaker 1: so you can put it on the posters. He's not
Speaker 1: physically if you see him, he's left the voice smell anyway.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just he's just texted me. Oh, he's
Speaker 1: on these phone calls. And he's obviously in his trader
Speaker 1: on the set of Jurassic Park in that outfit. However,
Speaker 1: that means more Taylor Kitsch and if you're a fellow
Speaker 1: fan of Friday Night Lights, he's an outstanding actor. Even
Speaker 1: better the second season. Really we like it. I love
Speaker 1: the fact if you caught a show lone Wolf, I'm
Speaker 1: all over them. Terminalist lone Wolf, turn out A turn
Speaker 1: from me, Patsy, what are you enjoying?
Speaker 2: A good tip from producer Caitlin which we have tried,
Speaker 2: you know how been doing my chili Kong khn. She
Speaker 2: has found a range of mixes that make it easy
Speaker 2: and they're very very healthy, no preservatives, no nut is
Speaker 2: brilliant for people on Keito like the first Lady, your
Speaker 2: wife or if you're gluten free, you know, because it's
Speaker 2: hard to get stuff that you can have. It's called
Speaker 2: mingle these spice mixers.
Speaker 1: Person, yes, mingle clear and the races today, aren't we.
Speaker 2: We had tacos with him this week yes, Taco Thursday
Speaker 2: or Tuesday Tuesday. Yes, And I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: just me, but the taco case is getting smaller.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm with Patsy. They are Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: making you now upsides to the Jumbo ones.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so Jumbo is just a normal size brand.
Speaker 1: Are our hands getting bigger?
Speaker 4: No question?
Speaker 1: You heard it here first. This goes right to the top.
Speaker 1: It's all that four g Now, it's all the nasties
Speaker 1: and the spices. It's making my hands massive.
Speaker 2: Women were making them. It's actually hard to shove the
Speaker 2: filling in between.
Speaker 1: The taco size.
Speaker 3: I say fairly.
Speaker 1: Get that wine my wine glass doesn't mean it was
Speaker 1: my ex a large wine glass getting smaller. Have two
Speaker 1: of those glasses for people glass? What will they shrink next? Honestly?
Speaker 2: The other thing this week is all the cords in
Speaker 2: our teenager's room around her school desk were driving us
Speaker 2: insane and I don't know how much.
Speaker 1: Yes, terrible.
Speaker 2: I have rescued the rumba from the cords. It's eaten
Speaker 2: about two of her to pull.
Speaker 1: The desk over, doesn't it I've had that's really going
Speaker 1: to drag it down the corridor board.
Speaker 2: I thought, that's got to be a better solution. So
Speaker 2: we tried, you know, the power board. The love God
Speaker 2: tried to sort of mount it on the side.
Speaker 1: Of her to an outhousees it was terrible. A teenagers
Speaker 1: should live actually in an outhouse and then come back
Speaker 1: when you're twenty one.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I agree. But I found this that came out.
Speaker 2: It's an Rlex brand desk top power station and it's
Speaker 2: specifically for.
Speaker 1: It, and it's a plug on your desk.
Speaker 2: Brilliant though.
Speaker 1: It's actually like chances to Walter Raleig, who's been around
Speaker 1: the world with some amazing.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. It's great, four points for power and all
Speaker 2: you like for your eye.
Speaker 1: I guess you'd call this a plug multi shopping.
Speaker 2: I've never seen it.
Speaker 3: Have you seen?
Speaker 1: Rio doesn't open you Einstein's no idea. It's struggling with
Speaker 1: that zoomland in that laptop you major in box opening.
Speaker 1: Sorry street smarts, it's because bedroom. Why bring it in though,
Speaker 1: because I need to.
Speaker 2: See the information on the box and what it does,
Speaker 2: because you inevitably would ask stupid questions, got no answer anyway.
Speaker 2: I found it good.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's great.
Speaker 2: You can put it in that little pod thing in
Speaker 2: your backyard?
Speaker 1: How that now? Which is getting me? Just getting a
Speaker 1: new laptop. Let's just move on, all right, we're going
Speaker 1: to take her. I don't want to talk about Let's uh,
Speaker 1: there's take a break. We come back with part two
Speaker 1: of Double Thumbs Up The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. In
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show, we're doing Double thumbs Up. We go
Speaker 1: around the team and we share what we're into this week. Rio,
Speaker 1: what's it for you?
Speaker 3: I've got a couple for you guys. Firstly, we are
Speaker 3: into spring. We are into pollen season.
Speaker 1: Oh you getting into polland issues must have? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out, I'm really getting into pollend guy. What were
Speaker 1: they shrink? Next? They shrunk it? You know, pollen's.
Speaker 3: It's very hard to get accurate pollen readings on most
Speaker 3: of the major apps. So there is an independent Melbourne
Speaker 3: company called I'm not sure the company is called, but
Speaker 3: the app call is called Melbourne Pollen App and it
Speaker 3: has every day alert of the pollen rating in Melbourne.
Speaker 3: So today the grass pollen rating is low. You don't
Speaker 3: have to worry about it. It sends you a alert
Speaker 3: every morning, so.
Speaker 1: When you wake up you have to a really good idea.
Speaker 1: It's a lifesaver.
Speaker 3: I download it every spring, very very helpful. Put on
Speaker 3: your notifications for it. Second one, I spoke about it
Speaker 3: three weeks ago after watching the first episode of Survivor.
Speaker 3: It is the finale on Sunday and it has been
Speaker 3: an incredible, incredible When it ends, I'm going to be devastated.
Speaker 3: I don't think Australians realize Survivor is so so big.
Speaker 3: It's in forty countries, it's been got fifty in America.
Speaker 1: It is the biggest TV most successful TV show in
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3: And Australia at the moment is the gold standard of
Speaker 3: Survivor around the world. It's like, yeah, it's revered as
Speaker 3: like the number one sort of the best players, the
Speaker 3: best strategy, the best Survivor seasons are always Australia.
Speaker 1: At the moment thought that, I know, so, I know
Speaker 1: you would have done sorry, just when I got on
Speaker 1: the passport, I would have thought that. Actually, yah, yeah
Speaker 1: I knew that. Yeah, it feels right, it feels right.
Speaker 1: Leaders are subject I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, but that so this season they've got all
Speaker 3: the best players from the history of Survivor against all
Speaker 3: the best Australian players.
Speaker 1: You really love it, don't you. It's so good. Suddenly
Speaker 1: you become a ten year old his new bik. He's
Speaker 1: got the best.
Speaker 3: Tony, David, George, they're all there.
Speaker 1: There's no empty box with this one. No, yes, it's crammed.
Speaker 1: It's on ten plate.
Speaker 3: If you've never watched Survivor, it's half the length of
Speaker 3: a normal season. It's so easy to get into. If
Speaker 3: you've never watched it, start here. It's as good as
Speaker 3: it gets. Ten play Survivor, Alex, What have you love?
Speaker 1: This week?
Speaker 4: I'm watching a show called Katrina Come Hell in high
Speaker 4: Water on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: I don't mean to bring the mood down, guys, but
Speaker 4: gee whiz, that was something in our history that I
Speaker 4: didn't know too much about. One hundred and twenty five
Speaker 4: billion dollars worth of damage. It wasn't so much the
Speaker 4: storm and all that came with the storm. It was
Speaker 4: like the next day that the damage was done because
Speaker 4: the levee broke around New Orleans and I didn't know any.
Speaker 1: Of this stuff.
Speaker 4: They had all these people in the Superdome. The NFL
Speaker 4: team has the Superdome there but it wasn't until the
Speaker 4: next day, in that afternoon that all the flooding came
Speaker 4: in and there's like, you know, twenty five feet of
Speaker 4: water that just take it took over the entire city.
Speaker 4: So it's an incredible, I guess, learning experience about something
Speaker 4: that really shaped that area of America. And they're still
Speaker 4: talking about it and still getting over it.
Speaker 1: Well one' they're warnings it was going to happen because
Speaker 1: I met years ago interviewing Harry Shearer, you know from
Speaker 1: Spinal Tap, Yeah, and all lots of so many Simpsons characters. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's his hometown. He actually made a documentary about what
Speaker 1: happened because the world didn't know, right. Yeah, that's on Netflix, Netflix. Yeah.
