Speaker 1: this weekend? Practicing magic tricks.
Speaker 5: In my magic I'll be spending a lovely Mother's Day
Speaker 5: with Bianca, but also Mother's Day afternoon, I've got to
Speaker 5: trim a tree with my mate who works at Kennard's
Speaker 5: Rich He's bringing around a scissor lift and a pulse.
Speaker 1: Or your kidding. Yeah, those pulsals are dangerous.
Speaker 3: I know you pay a pro he's going to do
Speaker 3: most of it.
Speaker 1: I'm what are you doing? Operate? I would not trust
Speaker 1: you with up and down buttons.
Speaker 3: I guess I throw away the branches he throws down.
Speaker 1: You're like, that's a work. Experienced kids just sort of
Speaker 1: lolling around kicking leaves at the bottom.
Speaker 5: But for the first time ever had that experience where
Speaker 5: you have to go knock on a neighbor's door and say, hey,
Speaker 5: your tree is over hanging on our side.
Speaker 1: To become people can fall out over that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was really nervous to do it, but he
Speaker 5: ended up being a really friendly guy, and he was
Speaker 5: the one that said, oh, you should get a sizzle
Speaker 5: list lift and.
Speaker 3: Do it yourself.
Speaker 4: If it's his tree hanging over yours, he should be
Speaker 4: doing it. Should be doing it.
Speaker 1: No, yes, especially is he on your left, because it's
Speaker 1: one side.
Speaker 3: He's over the back.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm not going to make him come and cut
Speaker 5: the tree branches on the.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I would say, Chris, come around, you.
Speaker 1: Know one the ones that fall on your side, throw
Speaker 1: real petty.
Speaker 4: Before.
Speaker 1: I mean to this day of a territorial dispute.
Speaker 5: I have to live next to these people for how
Speaker 5: who knows how many out there.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a nice, nice sunny afternoon. You've got your
Speaker 1: Mother's Day that day, soone's loving great tree trunks and
Speaker 1: bowels of trees over.
Speaker 5: I think it's even if illegally you can force them
Speaker 5: to come and cut the trees, I think you should
Speaker 5: do it yourself, just for decory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you're right. Christian O'Connell Show Podcast Friday Morning.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show, where every Friday we
Speaker 1: do a thing called double thumbs Up. We go around
Speaker 1: the team we talk about the things we're really into
Speaker 1: at the moment. There is a TV show that feels
Speaker 1: like they've crunched some kind of algorithm and it's for
Speaker 1: people my age and Patsy's. It is a perfect midlife
Speaker 1: comedy called four Seasons, brand new Netflix. It's the Bigges
Speaker 1: show on Netflix right now for a reason. It's written
Speaker 1: and directed by Tina. Also on the Stars and what
Speaker 1: a great lineup Tina fays in It Will Fought, and
Speaker 1: also the great Steve Carell's Well four couples. Every season
Speaker 1: they go away for a weekend together. It's not that
Speaker 1: relatable because they're clearly all multi millionaires. They're immaculately dressed,
Speaker 1: matching Louis Luton luggage. But aside from that, they're all
Speaker 1: in their fifties. And in the first episode, Steve Carell
Speaker 1: announced that he's leaving his wife. And the only reason
Speaker 1: I'm saying this right because in all the trailers as well,
Speaker 1: it's not a mystery is my wife and I had
Speaker 1: two very different reactions to it. It's actually quite an
Speaker 1: awkward watch. I am a fan of Steve's thirty two
Speaker 1: year old girlfriend. I think regarda's fifties, that's okay my
Speaker 1: wife every time, because he's happier and his wife, his
Speaker 1: wife is was a downer. He was not happy with us.
Speaker 4: He wouldn't go out in the bike, wouldn't do anything
Speaker 4: with him.
Speaker 1: Whereas my wife is like, I hate Steve Carell's character,
Speaker 1: the way he's carrying on like this, there's this uneasy
Speaker 1: thing when we watch it, hanging near and I can
Speaker 1: see my wife's side eye only sometimes. And then last
Speaker 1: night she just went, I don't know what I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say right now. I think you've got a
Speaker 1: crush on his girl. You know where you go like
Speaker 1: a politicians. We caught cheating her press.
Speaker 3: I didn't even notice that.
Speaker 1: I'm not even watching TV.
Speaker 4: It is a pathetic character, isn't he No, he's.
Speaker 1: We had almost an argument last night about a fictional
Speaker 1: TV show.
Speaker 4: A beautiful woman. You know she'd been with him, what
Speaker 4: was it twenty six years?
Speaker 1: In real life, you can't judge people that can be
Speaker 1: people can break up and be happier separately.
Speaker 4: I thought it was very selfish of him.
Speaker 1: But this is my wife, and there's this thing that's
Speaker 1: bubbling under it. I'm really nervous about the last episode
Speaker 1: because I think my wife thinks he's going to leave
Speaker 1: his very hot, teaching thirty two year old governet st
Speaker 1: you didn't go back to that dowdy woman.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful series.
Speaker 1: But it's really good.
Speaker 3: The script us like that that's not going to help.
Speaker 1: But she is a dowdy old woman, isn't She's a
Speaker 1: buzzkill her character when it come on? Would you want
Speaker 1: to hang out with her?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Saw your bangs out? Sweetheart? Yet steve back anyway? Seasons
Speaker 1: it's so good It's really really good, isn't it. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they really now a lot of
Speaker 1: how couples in a long relationship are with it, sometimes
Speaker 1: so much so it's actually depressing. But the stuff about
Speaker 1: the flossing before getting into bed, and having intimate relations
Speaker 1: with the own, cleaning your teeth properly, all these kind
Speaker 1: of the hundreds, you're like, oh my god, that's what
Speaker 1: we do. At times, it's like an uncomfortable mirror. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, how can we become these people.
Speaker 3: Been in that situation?
Speaker 1: And then I'm just going to flossing.
Speaker 5: Actually, you're watching something so real and so relevant to
Speaker 5: your life that you don't even want to look and
Speaker 5: make icon't take me that. You just keep staring at
Speaker 5: the TV screen.
Speaker 1: And it's and it's I think there was a line
Speaker 1: where they both they were both moaning about this very
Speaker 1: nice guest house that were saying it. They were both
Speaker 1: moaning a lot, and they went, they went, it's like
Speaker 1: our porn, isn't it. We'rend the age now where moaning
Speaker 1: is just a porn. It makes us feel really really good. Anyway,
Speaker 1: It's called four Seasons. Cannot recommend it enough we're going
Speaker 1: to take a break. We'll come back with Jack and
Speaker 1: Patsy's double thumbs Up. The Christian O'Connell show podcast Friday
