104
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: to watch.

105
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: Do you like Billy Bob Thornton. I love Billy Bob Thornton.

106
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: He's in this new shown. I and my wife gave

107
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: up twenty two minutes in. It was, yeah, a bit

108
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of it. It was men arguing about land rights for

109
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: oil trilling, and I kept saying to your wife, no, no, no, this,

110
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: this won't be another scene. And it was like, I'm

111
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna need to get that least for twenty years. We

112
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: got thirty pump jacks when I gotta do far By

113
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: seven trillion bowels a day.

114
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this is linear.

115
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: The next scene, No, there's more men cowboy hats arguing

116
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: around tables about barrel price.

117
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: And I think the TV show is made to make

118
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: us feel empathy for the oil type cat.

119
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like this and this Billy Bob Thornton, who's

120
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: brilliant everything. He's like the guy who's in charge of

121
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: all and you meant to feel empathy for, like, this

122
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: is the worst job in the world, making billions every

123
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: day for rich fat.

124
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: Cats around the world. Like I'm not. I'm struggling to

125
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: connect with this.

126
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. Double dumb sell for lamb Man left

127
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: me cold. However, what has lit me up this week

128
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: is the return of one of the smartest TV shows

129
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. It feels like it's

130
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: a modern Agatha Christie and that is The Brilliant White Lotus.

131
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: We're up to third season now, it launched this week.

132
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: It's in Thailand. It's a different location each season. Two

133
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: years ago it was The Beautiful Rounds of Italy, and

134
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: before that, the first one was in Hawaii, So it

135
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: feels like the actual location is one of the co

136
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: stars of the movie and.

137
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: It's just a mark.

138
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: It's that really good grown up TV where within the

139
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: first hour there's a lot going on, right, there's a

140
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of new characters there, and normally you can give

141
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: it overwhelmed Game of Thrones, Yeah, which turns out do

142
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: we like them with this? I don't know how they

143
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: do it. Not till one hundred, over an arc of

144
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, I know all the characters. They're so

145
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: well etched out, the family, the three school friends, the

146
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: ladies that love each other but don't really underneath that

147
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: there's something else going on.

148
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: And you already get a sense of who you like.

149
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: And who you do yes, yes, or within forty five minutes.

150
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. It's brilliant. I'm

151
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: gutted they're only doing it once a week, but I'm

152
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,960

00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, White Looatters cannot recommend that enough. Go back

161
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: to the first season if you missed it. It's absolutely brilliant.

162
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I'm really enjoying at the

163
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: moment is a book about the nineties. Right, every different

164
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: decade has something from it that you loved, But I

165
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: really loved the nineties because for me, that was really

166
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: where I felt like.

167
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: I came alive.

168
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I left home, went to university, met a girl, got

169
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: done by a girl, fell out of love, met my

170
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: wife Sarah, arted in radio, got married. A lot for

171
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: me happened in the nineties, and I moved to London

172
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: for the first time. So for me, the nineties is

173
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: a really special time in my life. So this book

174
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: is it's not just a lazy nostalta trip about the

175
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: nineties and how good was this or that. It's actually

176
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: about what was going on culturally in sport, around the world,

177
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: music around the.

178
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: World, golf wars.

179
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you go back to twenty about Oasis, who

180
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: are back around this year and performing live again, and

181
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: it takes you back to just what There's such a

182
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: great variety of music in the nineties, and it's not

183
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: like all new music now it's bad, but this felt

184
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: there was a real lot of variety, and also there

185
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: was an explosion of grunge and Nirvana and Soundguarden and

186
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam. It was a great time for music. And

187
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: also then you look at all the movies as well.

188
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: There was a Gulf War, so this really interesting backdrop.

189
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: And also what it really made me realize was when

190
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: nine to eleven happened, so much changed, right when I'm

191
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: reading this book in the nineties, I'm remembering it's the

192
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: time before what happened in two thousand and one and

193
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and you really realize we're still fitting

194
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: the massive ripples of what happened on nine to eleven,

195
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and even us before that life was so different. And

196
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: this book, it's a great book. I'm loving it. It's

197
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: by a guy American writers' a Brillian Wrights. He's written

198
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: a couple of great books called Chuck Klosterman. You might

199
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: have a podcast before, really smart, interesting guy. He's American Servicely,

200
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: it's just filtered through. It's if only America had the nineties.

201
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: So sometimes I'm getting so angry reading it, but it's

202
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: still really good. It's simply called the Nineties Bringing But

203
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Chuck Coosterman, you love that.

204

245
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640

246
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: got a book as well.

247
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: I'm reading Rogues by Patrick radd and Keith, who is

248
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 4: fast becoming my favorite author. I read two books of

249
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: his last year and two of my favorite books. Say Nothing,

250
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: which is about the IRA in Northern Ireland in the seventies,

251
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: is an unbelie We'll read.

252
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: We got a lot of emails from people who were

253
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: so interested about you talking about that and us talking

254
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: about it, and it's now a Disney Plus TV show

255
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: has been adapted to drama of it. But the troubles

256
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: in the Northern Line right the peaks of the troubles

257
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: as well. That actually, quite a few of our listeners

258
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: have bought the book and they finished it in record time.

259
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 4: It's funny that reads like fiction. It's just first of all,

260
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: it's it's incredibly hard to believe time that happened.

261
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: But the way he writes.

262
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: The detail he does about it in Lesser Hands, it

263
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: would be a hard read because hard read. It's a

264
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: hard story to tell as well, over so.

265
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: Many years and so much there's so many go but

266
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: he writes in a way that it feels like fiction.

267
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: He wrote that book is brilliant.

268
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: The other book I read of his last year was

269
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: called Empire of Pain, which is about the Sackler family

270
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: who made oxy conton and caused the opioid crisis in

271
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: the US.

272
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: A big, thick book.

273
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: I thought I'll never get through this, but it had

274
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: such great reviews. Now I tried it and it did.

275
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: You read it like it was fiction, and you.

276
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: Really, So, what's the new one? Rogues is that like

277
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: his greatest head.

278
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: Rogues is so he was a magazine writer before he

279
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: became an author, and it is all his best magazine

280
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: stories about it's true stories of grifters, killers, Rebels and Crooks.

281
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: What a title.

282
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,360

Speaker 2: Is, Patrick Radd and Keith.

285
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: The one I read yesterday was about this Dutch crime family,

286
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: like essentially the mob in the Netherlands, and this sister

287
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 4: ended up going to trial and putting her brother, her

288
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: own brother in It's an amazing story.

289
