0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 1>last weekend and said there was a lot of orc

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>people and people looking for love dressed as elves.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.280

<v Speaker 4>elf Oh, there, you have a lovely time.

<v Speaker 1>Our whole weekend is about the events of Sunday, dropping

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>off our youngest daughter, who is going to be the

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>last to leave home. It's a one way trip for her,

<v Speaker 1>I'm more worried now about how my wife is going

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>to handle it right, because yesterday I said to my wife,

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>because you know, we had Amanda Keller on the show

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and we were talking about, you know, like the ages

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>of our kids now, and I said, oh, Amanda, last

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>time I spoke to you, Ruby was leaving home. Can

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you believe fast forward two years was gone?

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>So quickly. It's lowest this weekend, I said my wife,

<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>It was really bringing it up for me right talking

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>about what it's going to be up there Sunday.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Wife just stops me. She goes, Chris, I'm just pretending

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, oh no, I'm now more worried about Sunday.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>That is not a way to deal with it. Denial.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 4>That is enough the therapy parenting book.

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Should we drop off, she ain't coming back. Just pretending

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening.

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 3>You need to plan something nice in the second half

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.560

<v Speaker 1>a thing called double thumbs Up. This is where we

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about the shows or the things that are lighting

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>us up at the moment. If you've got something that

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you want to share with us, new TV show, whatever

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it is for you, please, you can test the show.

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh four seven five three one oh four three. On

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that last week, one of you said, Christian, because I'm

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for a new TV show the moment You've got

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to watch.

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you like Billy Bob Thornton. I love Billy Bob Thornton.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>He's in this new shown. I and my wife gave

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>up twenty two minutes in. It was, yeah, a bit

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. It was men arguing about land rights for

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>oil trilling, and I kept saying to your wife, no, no, no, this,

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>this won't be another scene. And it was like, I'm

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to get that least for twenty years. We

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>got thirty pump jacks when I gotta do far By

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>seven trillion bowels a day.

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, this is linear.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>The next scene, No, there's more men cowboy hats arguing

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>around tables about barrel price.

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>And I think the TV show is made to make

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 4>us feel empathy for the oil type cat.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, like this and this Billy Bob Thornton, who's

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>brilliant everything. He's like the guy who's in charge of

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>all and you meant to feel empathy for, like, this

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>is the worst job in the world, making billions every

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>day for rich fat.

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Cats around the world. Like I'm not. I'm struggling to

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>connect with this.

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sorry. Double dumb sell for lamb Man left

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>me cold. However, what has lit me up this week

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>is the return of one of the smartest TV shows

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years. It feels like it's

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a modern Agatha Christie and that is The Brilliant White Lotus.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>We're up to third season now, it launched this week.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>It's in Thailand. It's a different location each season. Two

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 1>years ago it was The Beautiful Rounds of Italy, and

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.159
<v Speaker 1>before that, the first one was in Hawaii, So it

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>feels like the actual location is one of the co

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>stars of the movie and.

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 2>It's just a mark.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>It's that really good grown up TV where within the

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>first hour there's a lot going on, right, there's a

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of new characters there, and normally you can give

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>it overwhelmed Game of Thrones, Yeah, which turns out do

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 1>we like them with this? I don't know how they

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. Not till one hundred, over an arc of

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>forty five minutes, I know all the characters. They're so

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>well etched out, the family, the three school friends, the

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>ladies that love each other but don't really underneath that

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>there's something else going on.

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 4>And you already get a sense of who you like.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>And who you do yes, yes, or within forty five minutes.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they do it. It's brilliant. I'm

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>gutted they're only doing it once a week, but I'm

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>glad in a way because actually, otherwise we'd have seen it.

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>All by now.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 4>So what is the drop night?

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Monday?

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Monday night, Monday morning? Only because I went snipping around, I.

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Was like, what's the earliest? So if you hear me

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>this month they stick on.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Stairway to Heaven that I couldn't wait for episode two,

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, White Looatters cannot recommend that enough. Go back

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to the first season if you missed it. It's absolutely brilliant.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing that I'm really enjoying at the

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>moment is a book about the nineties. Right, every different

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>decade has something from it that you loved, But I

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>really loved the nineties because for me, that was really

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>where I felt like.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I came alive.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I left home, went to university, met a girl, got

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 1>done by a girl, fell out of love, met my

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>wife Sarah, arted in radio, got married. A lot for

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>me happened in the nineties, and I moved to London

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>for the first time. So for me, the nineties is

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a really special time in my life. So this book

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>is it's not just a lazy nostalta trip about the

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>nineties and how good was this or that. It's actually

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>about what was going on culturally in sport, around the world,

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>music around the.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>World, golf wars.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you go back to twenty about Oasis, who

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>are back around this year and performing live again, and

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>it takes you back to just what There's such a

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>great variety of music in the nineties, and it's not

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>like all new music now it's bad, but this felt

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a real lot of variety, and also there

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>was an explosion of grunge and Nirvana and Soundguarden and

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Pearl Jam. It was a great time for music. And

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>also then you look at all the movies as well.

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>There was a Gulf War, so this really interesting backdrop.

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And also what it really made me realize was when

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven happened, so much changed, right when I'm

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>reading this book in the nineties, I'm remembering it's the

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>time before what happened in two thousand and one and

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven, and you really realize we're still fitting

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the massive ripples of what happened on nine to eleven,

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and even us before that life was so different. And

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>this book, it's a great book. I'm loving it. It's

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>by a guy American writers' a Brillian Wrights. He's written

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of great books called Chuck Klosterman. You might

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>have a podcast before, really smart, interesting guy. He's American Servicely,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just filtered through. It's if only America had the nineties.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes I'm getting so angry reading it, but it's

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>still really good. It's simply called the Nineties Bringing But

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Coosterman, you love that.

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:26.960

<v Speaker 3>did it in like two days one weekend.

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Jackie boy, what have you enjoyed this week? Yeah, I've

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 2>got a book as well.

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm reading Rogues by Patrick radd and Keith, who is

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 4>fast becoming my favorite author. I read two books of

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 4>his last year and two of my favorite books. Say Nothing,

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 4>which is about the IRA in Northern Ireland in the seventies,

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 4>is an unbelie We'll read.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot of emails from people who were

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>so interested about you talking about that and us talking

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>about it, and it's now a Disney Plus TV show

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>has been adapted to drama of it. But the troubles

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Northern Line right the peaks of the troubles

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. That actually, quite a few of our listeners

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>have bought the book and they finished it in record time.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 4>It's funny that reads like fiction. It's just first of all,

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 4>it's it's incredibly hard to believe time that happened.

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>But the way he writes.

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>The detail he does about it in Lesser Hands, it

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>would be a hard read because hard read. It's a

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>hard story to tell as well, over so.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Many years and so much there's so many go but

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 4>he writes in a way that it feels like fiction.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>He wrote that book is brilliant.

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 4>The other book I read of his last year was

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 4>called Empire of Pain, which is about the Sackler family

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 4>who made oxy conton and caused the opioid crisis in

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 4>the US.

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>A big, thick book.

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 4>I thought I'll never get through this, but it had

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 4>such great reviews. Now I tried it and it did.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 4>You read it like it was fiction, and you.

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Really, So, what's the new one? Rogues is that like

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>his greatest head.

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Rogues is so he was a magazine writer before he

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.079
<v Speaker 4>became an author, and it is all his best magazine

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 4>stories about it's true stories of grifters, killers, Rebels and Crooks.

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>What a title.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>It's great his name again Jack, because people want to

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>know who this.

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Is, Patrick Radd and Keith.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 4>The one I read yesterday was about this Dutch crime family,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 4>like essentially the mob in the Netherlands, and this sister

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 4>ended up going to trial and putting her brother, her

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 4>own brother in It's an amazing story.

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.080
