Speaker 1: gift ella watching it with my daughters. That was their
Speaker 1: gift to me. Was like, well, watch I had been
Speaker 1: asking for quite a few months because it's been out
Speaker 1: since July, I think, and they were like no, and
Speaker 1: then Father's Day there has to be yes, and it
Speaker 1: was that. The other thing that my wife and I
Speaker 1: saw watched this week, which is outstanding is called Code
Speaker 1: of so Silence. It's a it's been getting rave views.
Speaker 1: It's a British TV police drama and it is so good.
Speaker 1: I think it's the same team that did The Line
Speaker 1: of Duty, which is one of the one of the
Speaker 1: best TV shows the last ten years. Code of Silence
Speaker 1: is a really, really great show. They're trying to take
Speaker 1: down a gang. The gang only meet in public places
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of background noise so they can't
Speaker 1: be bugged. They need a lip reader, and it's this
Speaker 1: amazing deaf actress. She is phenomenal and she's going to
Speaker 1: be a breakout star. She is so good. I cannot
Speaker 1: recommend the show enough. It's up there with Gordon Ramsey's
Speaker 1: Secret Service in terms of amazing acting and casting. The too.
Speaker 1: You can't separate them. That's code of silence, and that
Speaker 1: is on it's free. It's on SBS, I know, you
Speaker 1: know when there's a good show, it's one of the
Speaker 1: free ones. I don't have to pay for them. That's
Speaker 1: just getting SBS or if you have paid for it
Speaker 1: and you go back and look and go, oh, it's
Speaker 1: actually yes, yes, yeah. So that's it for me, Patsy,
Speaker 1: what's it for? Double thumbs up.

Speaker 4: on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Now this weekend.
Speaker 4: It looks great, it's brilliant. You know. He describes it
Speaker 4: as a love letter to his dad, Martin Sheen, and
Speaker 4: it is absolutely behind the curtain, no holds barred and
Speaker 4: just a guy, you know, battling substance and addiction abuse
Speaker 4: and just telling it how it how it was. So
Speaker 4: he's seven years sober and you see all the old
Speaker 4: you know movies. Obviously his dad's a famous actor, but
Speaker 4: he was just a born actor. Him and his brother
Speaker 4: Emilio est affairs and you get to see their home
Speaker 4: videos from when they were.
Speaker 1: Like the original brat Pack, Yes where the Keitha Southerlands.
Speaker 4: Great actors and they were almost like the original jackass.
Speaker 4: These videos of him and his brother, you know, like
Speaker 4: pretending to knock one another off, and it's it's absolutely
Speaker 4: some of the some of the parts, you're sitting there thinking,
Speaker 4: I actually don't believe what he's saying to wild life.
Speaker 4: His first honeymoon. They're on the jet to wherever they
Speaker 4: were going, I forget now. But he wanted to meet
Speaker 4: the pilot. He wanted a photo with the pilot. He
Speaker 4: was off his head on he was drunk. He'd had, like,
Speaker 4: you know, so many of those bottles of little Scotch.
Speaker 4: He said, I was so drunk, went I wanted a
Speaker 4: photo and he said to the pilot, who I think
Speaker 4: was friend, he said, oh, you know, it's not a
Speaker 4: photo without your jacket and your hat, and so yeah, yeah, go,
Speaker 4: you know, sit in the chair. That took and he said.
Speaker 4: The pilot said, do you want to fly the plane?
Speaker 4: And he said, I'm not a pilot, and he goes, no,
Speaker 4: I just like took it off auto pilot and let
Speaker 4: Charlie Sheen fly the plane. And he said it was
Speaker 4: just outrageous because I was off my head and I
Speaker 4: had like four hundred.
Speaker 1: People on board.
Speaker 4: Responsible for all these people.
Speaker 1: That's crazy and.
Speaker 4: Just put it back on auto pilot and just yeah,
Speaker 4: just phenomenal. I can't wait to see for years. Well,

Speaker 4: Karate Kid before Ralph Ralph mackey up, I want to
Speaker 4: which is a coffee?
Speaker 1: Is a two piece to go?
Speaker 4: But he was doing this unbeknowns first flick over in
Speaker 4: Budapest or somewhere, and he had like he said, he
Speaker 4: had like eight lines and he went to his dad, Martin,
Speaker 4: and he said, listen, I've got this opportunity to do
Speaker 4: this movie Karate Kid. I think it's going to be
Speaker 4: absolutely massive. And Martin said, no, you've committed yourself to
Speaker 4: to this Budapest job.
Speaker 1: You've got to do that.
Speaker 4: Otherwise you'll earn yourself a really bad name if you
Speaker 4: pull out of projects like that. You you've committed to it,
Speaker 4: you've got to do it. Wasn't meant to be, wasn't
Speaker 4: meant to be. So it's brilliant.

Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Friday Mornings to Christian O'Connell show. We're doing double thumbs Up.
Speaker 1: We go around the team on a Friday and we
Speaker 1: share what we're into at the moment. Alex Connen, what
Speaker 1: are you enjoying at the moment?
Speaker 5: Well, this is great news for football lovers because when
Speaker 5: the AFL season is over.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna watch? We look at you, look
Speaker 1: at the NFL.
Speaker 5: The National Football League season twenty twenty five, twenty six
Speaker 5: has started. It started last weekend and I just love NFL.
Speaker 5: I'm so into it. I listened to all the podcasts.
Speaker 1: Great What I See, I'm a Carl Brandt fan, and
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. So I listened to that podcast. I've
Speaker 1: decided that this year, this season, I'm gonna follow it.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's why I was talking about Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: the other day. I've been watching the highlights of his debut.
Speaker 1: So what's good to listen to you? Because it's really
Speaker 1: hard as a complete outsider to understand there's so many
Speaker 1: different positions and players in the offensive defense.
Speaker 5: Well, there's fifty three players on a roster, and there's
Speaker 5: defense and there's offense. So if you're in defense, all
Speaker 5: you do is tackle, you might get an intercept. What
Speaker 5: is a Russia. A Russia is the person who rushes
Speaker 5: the quarterback. So the Russia plays in defense and they're
Speaker 5: responsible for trying to shut the quarterback down, tackle him
Speaker 5: and get a stop on the on the opposition.
Speaker 1: So they have like inside receiver. You think, okay, that's
Speaker 1: the receiver, then there's the wide receiver. Yes, there's just
Speaker 1: so much money in that sport. When you look at
Speaker 1: the signs of the team, it is incredible. It is
Speaker 1: so fascinating.
Speaker 5: And all the routes they run, all the plays they have,
Speaker 5: all the calls they make, you'll never get your head
Speaker 5: around it.
Speaker 1: Tom Grady said it would take him at the start
Speaker 1: of a new season about three to four weeks to
Speaker 1: learn Bill Belichick's new plays, right, and it's like pages
Speaker 1: and pages like math.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's a traditional defensive coach, so he knew
Speaker 5: what the defense were doing.
Speaker 1: So he was so good to have.
Speaker 5: Well, he started with the Cleveland Browns and then of
Speaker 5: course he went and played coach the Patriots to six
Speaker 5: Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: Like incredible. But look, there's so.
Speaker 5: Many storylines this year. You've got Aaron Rodgers, he's left
Speaker 5: the Jets, He's gone and joined the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1: He's doing really well.
Speaker 5: They won, of course, their game last weekend the Bills
Speaker 5: and the Ravens, an incredible game between those two. The
Speaker 5: Bills expected to win the Super Bowl this year with
Speaker 5: Josh Allen as their quarterback. So I'm all into it.
Speaker 5: I love it. And like I said, it's over the
Speaker 5: Christmas period, the Christmas break, you get to watch football.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I know it's a football that most of us are
Speaker 5: too familiar with, but I suggest you get familiar with
Speaker 5: it because it's just a.
Speaker 1: Fascinating it's so traumatic as well. Yeah, friend of my
Speaker 1: friend of mine back in the UK, he's an American
Speaker 1: football commentator and reporter, and they get media access to everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah oh yeah. The players don't leave the press conference
Speaker 1: until they've done the last introviewes AFL. Wheah, oh that
Speaker 1: player is not doing it. They have to talk to everyone.
Speaker 5: There's real access and they never What I love about it,
Speaker 5: they never change the jerseys because there's such traditionalists as well. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so there's never ever sponsorship on the jerseys. And what
Speaker 5: they do they sell merchandise that every club sells the merchandise,
Speaker 5: but all the money that's made from that merch goes
Speaker 5: to the NFL as a whole, doesn't go to the clubs,
Speaker 5: it goes to the NFL. So it's a multi multi
Speaker 5: billion dollar industry and they just do it so well.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Well, my friends were saying that when Prince did the
Speaker 1: halftime show, so you know they have the big halftime show, right,
Speaker 1: it's massive. Whoever that artist is. They have to play
Speaker 1: the press conference week to just reporters, right, chill or
Speaker 1: three hundred people, and he said it was Prince. And
Speaker 1: my friend Simon asked the first question. He said, what's
Speaker 1: it going to be like? And Princess goes like this
Speaker 1: and then did an hour of live music for them.
Speaker 5: Yes, what is amazing, proper that is rock and roll
Speaker 5: and the super Bowl. Yeah, he did halftime super Bowl
Speaker 5: and it was up the Z. Yes, Princess, He's sang
Speaker 5: purple Rain and it rained.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's that's how cool Prince was. He could
Speaker 1: control the weather and it just kept playing. It was amazing.
Speaker 5: But it's you can watch the NFL season twenty twenty five,
Speaker 5: twenty six on seven mates.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean that was a great six too far
Speaker 1: on that line, I see Montana playing again. It was
Speaker 1: a good year. It was let's go back to it
Speaker 1: seven mate and Ko Sport Right, gotcha.
