<v Speaker 2>at Sea. I don't read tons of nonfiction, but this

0:00:54.725 --> 0:00:57.285
<v Speaker 2>was is a nonfiction book that read like a page

0:00:57.285 --> 0:01:00.245
<v Speaker 2>turn aut fiction. Once I got into it, I become

0:01:00.285 --> 0:01:02.804
<v Speaker 2>obsessed with it. I've been going to bed too late

0:01:02.845 --> 0:01:06.125
<v Speaker 2>this week because of this bloody book. Just hear about

0:01:06.125 --> 0:01:09.165
<v Speaker 2>this story. This is a true story. It's called Marriage

0:01:09.205 --> 0:01:12.885
<v Speaker 2>at Sea in the seventies, British couple just a hum

0:01:12.965 --> 0:01:16.485
<v Speaker 2>drum couple, Morris and Marilyn, that get married, They fall

0:01:16.565 --> 0:01:18.685
<v Speaker 2>in love. There are just good people that would live

0:01:18.725 --> 0:01:21.245
<v Speaker 2>next door. You wouldn't know much about them. However, he's

0:01:21.245 --> 0:01:23.645
<v Speaker 2>into sailing, she's not. She gets into sailing. This is

0:01:23.685 --> 0:01:26.325
<v Speaker 2>what happens in a relationship. They decide that actually they'd

0:01:26.325 --> 0:01:28.525
<v Speaker 2>like to set up the house sell from the UK

0:01:28.805 --> 0:01:31.565
<v Speaker 2>around the world to New Zealand.

0:01:32.205 --> 0:01:34.885
<v Speaker 1>They get a boat. He's a skilled navigator.

0:01:35.285 --> 0:01:38.365
<v Speaker 2>However, midway through the trip, in the middle of the night,

0:01:38.485 --> 0:01:42.245
<v Speaker 2>and they've got no radio transmitter, a well smashes their

0:01:42.245 --> 0:01:46.125
<v Speaker 2>boat in half, sinking it. There's no radio transmitter. This

0:01:46.165 --> 0:01:50.325
<v Speaker 2>is in the seventies. They're now marooned in a very

0:01:50.325 --> 0:01:55.725
<v Speaker 2>small dinghy together for one hundred and eighteen days. It's

0:01:55.805 --> 0:01:58.005
<v Speaker 2>you and your partner. So all the things you know

0:01:58.005 --> 0:02:00.605
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about half an hour ago, how sometimes

0:02:00.605 --> 0:02:04.005
<v Speaker 2>you're drawn together because of similarities and what you see

0:02:04.005 --> 0:02:06.725
<v Speaker 2>in each other. You're also those parts of you where

0:02:06.885 --> 0:02:10.325
<v Speaker 2>you complete other parts that maybe the other person doesn't have. Suddenly,

0:02:10.325 --> 0:02:13.005
<v Speaker 2>when you're in a boat, I'm guessing for one hundred

0:02:13.044 --> 0:02:15.204
<v Speaker 2>and eighteen days, you think about how much we love

0:02:15.205 --> 0:02:17.965
<v Speaker 2>our partners. But one hundred and eighteen days you cannot

0:02:18.045 --> 0:02:20.965
<v Speaker 2>escape each other. You're going to irritate each other. The

0:02:20.965 --> 0:02:23.885
<v Speaker 2>things that initially you found quite cute and now going

0:02:23.925 --> 0:02:27.805
<v Speaker 2>to become problematic, so mal and the woman is very extrovert,

0:02:27.885 --> 0:02:31.085
<v Speaker 2>and she keeps their spirits up every day. More sadly,

0:02:31.165 --> 0:02:35.005
<v Speaker 2>you see emotionally deteriorating and fading away as he's losing

0:02:35.045 --> 0:02:37.885
<v Speaker 2>the will. They've got no gear to catch fish. They

0:02:37.925 --> 0:02:42.125
<v Speaker 2>have to use safety pins to try and spearfish. There's

0:02:42.165 --> 0:02:47.045
<v Speaker 2>one bit where she Marilyn drags a shark right, a

0:02:47.085 --> 0:02:50.725
<v Speaker 2>basking shark into this dinghy, and they butcher it and

0:02:50.725 --> 0:02:55.325
<v Speaker 2>eat its liver or they die hundred and eighteen days

0:02:55.685 --> 0:02:57.405
<v Speaker 2>stuck in small dig in the middle of the ocean.

0:02:57.725 --> 0:03:00.965
<v Speaker 2>Their flares don't work. When they see passing ships, you

0:03:01.045 --> 0:03:02.525
<v Speaker 2>just think you're going to die in the boat. How

0:03:02.645 --> 0:03:04.765
<v Speaker 2>do you not lose hope? The book is about that.

0:03:05.045 --> 0:03:06.085
<v Speaker 3>Wow, it is.

0:03:06.165 --> 0:03:09.605
<v Speaker 2>It's a true story. It's incredible. The great thing is

0:03:09.605 --> 0:03:12.005
<v Speaker 2>is that the middle of the book suddenly they're rescued.

0:03:12.365 --> 0:03:14.645
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the story thing we're only halfway through

0:03:14.645 --> 0:03:16.924
<v Speaker 2>the book is then what happened to them afterwards? That bit,

0:03:17.045 --> 0:03:19.325
<v Speaker 2>and this is where the great writing kicks in, is

0:03:19.365 --> 0:03:20.405
<v Speaker 2>even just as incredible.

0:03:20.525 --> 0:03:21.765
<v Speaker 1>What happens to that couple.

0:03:22.485 --> 0:03:26.205
<v Speaker 2>They became huge chat show stars around the world, but

0:03:26.245 --> 0:03:29.445
<v Speaker 2>they were never the same again. It's an amazing story

0:03:30.125 --> 0:03:31.525
<v Speaker 2>and it's a very short book you've read in a

0:03:31.525 --> 0:03:34.805
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. It's called a Marriage at Sea. Sophie

0:03:34.805 --> 0:03:38.565
<v Speaker 2>Elmhurst is the author. I cannot recommend it enough. And

0:03:38.605 --> 0:03:40.605
<v Speaker 2>a new TV show Steve Carell, one of the best

0:03:40.605 --> 0:03:42.925
<v Speaker 2>comic actors in the world, isn't a brand new TV

0:03:43.005 --> 0:03:46.965
<v Speaker 2>show called Rooster. It's brilliant. I saw the first episode

0:03:46.965 --> 0:03:49.605
<v Speaker 2>this week. It's the guy the head writers, Bill Lawrence,

0:03:49.925 --> 0:03:55.285
<v Speaker 2>who also did Shrinking and ted Lasso and Scrubs, which

0:03:55.325 --> 0:03:57.525
<v Speaker 2>is back at the moment. And if you're a Scrubs fan,

0:03:58.005 --> 0:04:03.405
<v Speaker 2>John c Riley is in this yes, and he's got an.

0:04:03.245 --> 0:04:05.045
<v Speaker 1>Incredible character in it.

0:04:05.045 --> 0:04:08.005
<v Speaker 2>It's so good. Really really can't recommend it enough. That's

0:04:08.045 --> 0:04:09.765
<v Speaker 2>very good. But the book if you're looking for a

0:04:09.765 --> 0:04:11.605
<v Speaker 2>great book to read, and you'll read it in a

0:04:11.605 --> 0:04:14.165
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. It's an insane story and as you're

0:04:14.205 --> 0:04:16.645
<v Speaker 2>reading it, you will put your own relationship in it.

0:04:17.085 --> 0:04:19.485
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking I would have just jumped over that

0:04:19.485 --> 0:04:25.085
<v Speaker 2>boot after about the third Hourah, good luck take me sharks,

0:04:25.645 --> 0:04:30.485
<v Speaker 2>if we'll have your way with me. With Marriage at

0:04:30.525 --> 0:04:33.125

<v Speaker 4>Well, I am a true crime fan and Amityville an

0:04:37.804 --> 0:04:41.165
<v Speaker 4>origin story we are writing to on Prime. It's a

0:04:41.205 --> 0:04:47.484
<v Speaker 4>full part documentary series about the Amityville murders on Long Island.

0:04:47.604 --> 0:04:49.565
<v Speaker 4>But it is a really.

0:04:49.284 --> 0:04:52.205
<v Speaker 2>Close I want to just say, as a respectful broadcast

0:04:52.205 --> 0:04:53.725
<v Speaker 2>of the Way You Went, it is about the.

0:04:56.565 --> 0:04:59.284

<v Speaker 1>of like fetish. Now, I love it. I love it.

0:05:08.964 --> 0:05:10.525
<v Speaker 1>I just go get it out think about it.

0:05:10.565 --> 0:05:13.125
<v Speaker 4>You know, this is brilliant and it looks at some

0:05:13.164 --> 0:05:17.244
<v Speaker 4>of the conspiracy theories about the whole situation, and one

0:05:17.445 --> 0:05:20.964
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of the Cleveloyans believe is that there's

0:05:21.005 --> 0:05:24.604
<v Speaker 4>this evil spirit on the land where the house was built. Anyway,

0:05:24.724 --> 0:05:28.485
<v Speaker 4>I loved it. If you're into true crime and historic crime,

0:05:28.844 --> 0:05:30.244
<v Speaker 4>you might like it. It's on Prime.

0:05:30.284 --> 0:05:33.245

<v Speaker 1>doing it for me? Chris?

0:05:47.804 --> 0:05:50.325
<v Speaker 4>Can you believe it's thirty years since the Birdcage movie

0:05:50.364 --> 0:05:52.605
<v Speaker 4>came out. It's thirty years ago.

0:05:52.765 --> 0:05:56.605
<v Speaker 1>I saw, I saw, that's right, talk about the other day, yes.

0:05:56.924 --> 0:05:59.445

0:06:02.484 --> 0:06:08.645
<v Speaker 4>house boy. Her voice he modeled off his grandmama and

0:06:09.245 --> 0:06:12.885
<v Speaker 4>mama and you know, sadly now Robin Williams and Gene

<v Speaker 4>Hackman aren't with us. But it's one movie.

0:06:15.645 --> 0:06:18.604
<v Speaker 2>Way ahead of its time as well. Beautiful, really beautiful

0:06:18.604 --> 0:06:19.005
<v Speaker 2>movie there.

0:06:19.085 --> 0:06:21.844
<v Speaker 4>It is the one movie where I have been sitting

0:06:21.844 --> 0:06:24.404
<v Speaker 4>in the cinema and I start crying. I am laughing

0:06:24.804 --> 0:06:26.085
<v Speaker 4>so hard, and.

0:06:26.005 --> 0:06:28.404
<v Speaker 1>You almaly doing that only if it's true crime. That's right.

0:06:29.445 --> 0:06:32.045
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't matter how what he did to them, It

0:06:32.164 --> 0:06:34.645
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter how many times we watch it. It's one

0:06:34.685 --> 0:06:37.164
<v Speaker 4>of those great family classics that we'll just put on

0:06:37.205 --> 0:06:39.964
<v Speaker 4>and it always makes you feel better. So thirty years

0:06:40.005 --> 0:06:41.805
<v Speaker 4>it's on Prime if you want to catch.

0:06:41.645 --> 0:06:43.684
<v Speaker 1>Up with it again. What are you into the moment? Real?

0:06:43.885 --> 0:06:46.885
<v Speaker 3>I am loving Traitors season three. I don't know if

0:06:46.964 --> 0:06:48.844
<v Speaker 3>you guys have watched Traders. It's been around for.

0:06:48.844 --> 0:06:49.445
<v Speaker 1>A little while.

0:06:49.604 --> 0:06:53.685
<v Speaker 3>Very good, Oh my god, it is Oh it's brilliant.

0:06:53.685 --> 0:06:56.565
<v Speaker 3>It is I reckon probably the best new reality show

0:06:56.645 --> 0:06:58.805
<v Speaker 3>in maybe twenty years, maybe since Survivor.

0:06:59.005 --> 0:07:01.205
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's smart, isn't it.

0:07:01.205 --> 0:07:01.765
<v Speaker 3>It's brilliant.

0:07:01.765 --> 0:07:02.685
<v Speaker 4>So it's the premis.

0:07:02.804 --> 0:07:06.124
<v Speaker 3>It's set in Scotland, in the Highlands, in this beautiful,

0:07:06.205 --> 0:07:06.885
<v Speaker 3>lush castle.

0:07:07.005 --> 0:07:10.885
<v Speaker 1>My friend Claudia hosted Curdie Winking with the Big French.

0:07:11.125 --> 0:07:19.405
<v Speaker 2>She is, yes, twenty five years she's great, but she's

0:07:19.445 --> 0:07:20.005
<v Speaker 2>really good.

0:07:20.445 --> 0:07:24.045
<v Speaker 3>So there's twenty what they call Faithful's twenty people trying

0:07:24.045 --> 0:07:25.685
<v Speaker 3>to build up a prize pool to win.

0:07:25.845 --> 0:07:27.004
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the game.

0:07:27.364 --> 0:07:31.205
<v Speaker 3>There are two or three secret traitors who have been

0:07:31.325 --> 0:07:32.684
<v Speaker 3>sort of randomly selected and.

0:07:32.645 --> 0:07:33.725
<v Speaker 1>They have secret meetings.

0:07:33.765 --> 0:07:35.445
<v Speaker 4>Parts isn't a bit like the Mole.

0:07:35.725 --> 0:07:38.525
<v Speaker 3>It is very similar to the Mole, except so everything better.

0:07:40.005 --> 0:07:43.205
<v Speaker 3>Every night the traders kill one of the Faithful.

0:07:43.285 --> 0:07:46.205
<v Speaker 2>And they have to do something like touch that touch

0:07:46.685 --> 0:07:48.045
<v Speaker 2>another person's face.

0:07:48.005 --> 0:07:52.884
<v Speaker 3>Yes, death yes, And then all the Faithful, everyone in

0:07:52.925 --> 0:07:55.085
<v Speaker 3>the group has to banish who they think is the

0:07:55.165 --> 0:07:58.285
<v Speaker 3>traitor that night. So you see, like people become really

0:07:58.405 --> 0:08:00.965
<v Speaker 3>close best friends then turn on each other.

0:08:01.045 --> 0:08:03.325
<v Speaker 2>It's it's and also because they all know what the

0:08:03.325 --> 0:08:06.045
<v Speaker 2>show is they're all paranoid anyway, and so you know what,

0:08:06.165 --> 0:08:07.244
<v Speaker 2>we just make up stories.

0:08:07.245 --> 0:08:10.725
<v Speaker 1>We're just find evidence to ye theory. They're all going, I.

0:08:10.605 --> 0:08:12.725
<v Speaker 2>Think it's so and so, and there are other people

0:08:12.725 --> 0:08:15.645
<v Speaker 2>in it who are very good liars or they're over

0:08:15.725 --> 0:08:17.925
<v Speaker 2>selling somebody who. I think it's them, you know, because

0:08:17.925 --> 0:08:19.845
<v Speaker 2>you see the other day they didn't pick up that

0:08:19.925 --> 0:08:22.565
<v Speaker 2>bit of rubbish. So I think they're traitors, you know, going, oh,

0:08:22.565 --> 0:08:24.564
<v Speaker 2>I think you're sort of thing A trader would say.

0:08:25.045 --> 0:08:26.925
<v Speaker 3>One of them was one of They voted out this

0:08:27.045 --> 0:08:29.645
<v Speaker 3>poor girl because she didn't cheers when they all said

0:08:29.725 --> 0:08:32.365
<v Speaker 3>cheers to the faithful, and she didn't cheers because she

0:08:32.405 --> 0:08:33.925
<v Speaker 3>had like a broken arm or something.

0:08:34.245 --> 0:08:36.405
<v Speaker 1>I didn't cheers because I had a broken arm, and

0:08:36.445 --> 0:08:37.405
<v Speaker 1>they've voted her out.

0:08:37.645 --> 0:08:41.125
<v Speaker 3>It is the very best And what's it is it
