How do 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.680 you go? It is? You had an amazing weather of 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:48.080 the weekend. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.800 He was the perfect weekend. I'm so obsessed with golf 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.400 at the moment. I took it up last year and 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.280 I can't stop thinking about it. It's the first thing 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:56.280 I think about when I wake up. 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:57.920 So you've come back because I remember a couple of 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.480 months ago you were. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.520 I wanted to quick so frustrated how bad I was. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.160 But I've succumbed to my skills and that's what how 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.680 good I am and I'm happy with that great And 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.639 so this couldn't be a more perfect weekend. She Gordy 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.560 went to my mum and dad's place, and then we 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.120 went up to Dalsford for the night and played on 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.880 two different regional courses. 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.640 Some beautiful ones out there, so nice. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.360 And I don't know. She's not here to defend this, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:23.760 but I beat her both times. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:28.120 Oh that's why you're Yeah, now we understand the perfect weekend. 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.720 Bested his wife. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.920 But you got it. For the backstory, she is actually 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.959 a good golfer. You have to know that part to 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.600 know how important it is that I won. I was 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:38.240 the underdog. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.440 And tell me this, because your wife is very good 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.200 at golf and she was like a child protege. Is 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:43.520 that right? 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.480 She was like, really, she was a junior champion. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.839 Have you ever beaten her before? 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.200 And never been in her before? 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.640 And what was it? What was occasionally the week I 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.840 knew I thought you might tryat because it was said 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.040 that story I won't to understand the four story the 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.280 side store. In the backstory, it was like you've never 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.040 beaten her before. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.960 I've never been here before. But she hardly plays. Now 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.080 you don't understand. Yeah, and I've been putting in the effort. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.080 I've been doing that. Of course, I've been doing the 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:09.679 putting drill. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.959 Yeah. Yeah, that's why I've been That doesn't matter about it. No, No, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.520 but you've never beaten there before. I've never made birthday weekends. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.880 You first time you beat her? 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.919 Yes, wow, you had to see how you see? 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.640 I speaking on behalf of someone listening right now, not 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.919 me that might go this. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.880 You don't know my wife. You would never she would competitive. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:33.800 No, no, no. What I worried about is what she 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.000 would never want is a weekend where she beat you 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.519 and smashed you. What that would do to your birthday weekend? No? 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.320 No, you had to be there. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.280 You had to that. We had to be that. We 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.520 had to be there. And so what did you get 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:46.480 as you as your present? 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.280 I won a twenty minute massage. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:55.520 From your wife. Let's this move on, Like you said 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.200 at the beginning of this perfect weekend, she let him win. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.160 Christian Connell Show Pod. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.040 Come on to all my other fellow parents who are 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.840 supporting their kids through any tough times. A moment of 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.840 the year twelve. However, Lois did her last exam this Monday. Congratulations, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.160 no more kids at school? 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:13.519 Wow? 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.480 Do you know what? Pats right? My wife and I 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.040 actually thought I'd be over the moon once it finally 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.079 came that day, because obviously, for years and years and years, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.640 often when you're just walking alongside the kids, when they're 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.760 going through all the school years, the ups, the downs, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.040 the sideways, all of it, you actually can't wait for 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.040 to be over. You actually start to fantasize, will I 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.560 ever know freedom again? I guess it's like at times, 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.920 it feels like someone serving a life stretch for crime 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.880 they didn't commit. Will I ever get parole? 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:41.880 It is a long time. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.240 Am I stuck in this big house forever? And then 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.600 suddenly Monday came and she did the last exam. She 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.360 came home when it's all over, and I found nothing 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.200 but sad, I said, but I was enjoying the flash cards. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.160 I said, I feel like I don't have a job anymore. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.760 She went, No, I'm still going to need to do 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.440 some stuff. Yesterday I found out what that stuff's going 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.480 to be. So lowess. My daughter is my youngest daughter, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.320 Earns eighteen on Monday, which is the eighteenth. She's eighteen 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.120 on the eighteen. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.680 Yeah, it'll only happened once in her life. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:15.960 Yes, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, we don't know what the 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.320 future man they vent time traveling him. She can re 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.520 experience eighteen. But that's the news if you're tuning in 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.160 this morning. My daughter can only go eighteenth on her 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.440 eighteenth once. She sent me this text message yesterday. No, 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.520 we had like rain showers yesterday. Hi Dad, I left 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.360 the umbrella up outside the front door because I don't 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.120 know how to get it back in.

First last night I could not 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.880 believe it. So the love God and I have been 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.080 together near on thirty five years. I've known him, and 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.600 never ever, ever has he been able to find anything 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.200 like it's just like this relationship blindness, can't find it. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.719 Where are my jeans? They're in the But no they're not. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.279 I'll go and there they will be. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:03.760 I get in trouble for that. 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.760 Every single day, I'm like, where is the mayonnaise and 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.680 it couldn't be moved barely a millimeter. I'm like, God, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:12.760 damn it, you've hitten it again. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.239 What is this game that wasn't there before? 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:23.040 You're a magician, David Copperfield. I mean he did statue liberty, 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.280 but a great big megajob mayonnaise in the fridge. How 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.119 do you do that? 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.360 We made a beautiful stuff fried dish last night and 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:31.839 I was going to do some rice in the rice. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:33.800 Was it road killer or what was it? This time 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.359 for one of your dishes? It was passome? 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.479 No, anyway, I couldn't find the bas madi rice anywhere, 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.600 and I thought, oh, we just we've run out. Chris, 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.400 we can't have rice. We don't have any and he goes, no, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.680 I'm sure we've got bas mati. No, you have a 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.080 look in the pantry. I can't find it anywhere. For looking, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.240 I was convinced we were out. We had brown rice, 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.200 but no, one't. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.160 There's always brown rice there. I think it's from the 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.880 COVID stop pining days. There's that and like too much 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.320 lou Roth. So we're going to get brown rice. We'd 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.680 have to be really desperate to tuck into that. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.160 When you go through. We fought at once when we're 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.200 going through a health health. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:19.280 But Dave, Tim Tim Fairy swear by brown rice, but you. 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.159 Can't cook it properly. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.479 No, no, no one, And it's that real sillity in 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.360 you corn in your belly. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.840 I thought I could get the family onto brown rice, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.760 but no. So we had a full full thing of 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.680 brown rice. Anyway, So he goes to the pantry and 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.080 then finds it, like just pulls it out and he 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:36.719 goes here it is. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.440 It was like the best day ever for a man, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.640 isn't it. It's rare you get a win, right, It's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.400 very very rare you get a win like that, anything 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.080 to a pantry and organization. He must have been doing 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.760 laps like he cured the common cold. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.440 I sort of just downplayed a bit and I said, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.080 oh yeah, very good. Can you just. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.800 Let him pats It won't happen again. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.000 Ristjan O'Connell show podcast, Good Morning, Good morning. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.360 Later on this morning, Jack and I and East of 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.760 a chat on air.

It's got 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.559 so much high people saying it's the masterpiece. The original movie, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.640 which came out twenty four years ago. Gladiator was twenty 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.560 four years old. Ridley Scott, the original director, back doing 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.280 Gladiator two. The cast is stacked. You've got Paul Mescal 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.880 who's a brilliant up and coming Irish acter. You've got 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.800 Pedro Pascal everybody loves, and then there's Denzil Washington as well. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.120 If you think this can be stopped, you are fooling yourselves. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.440 All of this madness began with Maximusdious and now years 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.720 later we are paying for his doing. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.240 You rest your bond.

I really enjoyed the movie. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.000 I hope you go and see it in the cinema. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.959 It should be seen on the big screen. Okay, it's 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.160 a great fun movie. My wife and I had fun. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.240 What do you think, Jane, Well, fun is a good 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.679 way to describe I just don't remember the first one 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:31.120 being like that. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.280 I remember the first one. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.760 Maybe it was the age I was, but being a 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:34.760 very serious. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.280 I watched it again over the weekend, right to get 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.520 the mood right. It's it's still a great movie. It's 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.960 a classic, and Russell Crowe is incredibly He's got real gravitas. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.960 He's amazing in it. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.920 There were some sillier moments, I would say, So. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.320 You and I had an argument about it afterwards, yes. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.840 Because she said that I don't that I'm too cynical 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.199 and that I always find the something bad in a 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.040 movie rather than just enjoy it for what it is. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.400 And it is a huge, big blockbuster, lots of action, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.520 so you will love it. But I said, well, what 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:04.679 was it the sharks? 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.599 Yeah, Look, there's a moment where there are quite a 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.920 lot like the original movie. There were some amazing set 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.640 fights in the Colosseum. Okay, the Colosseum's back and it's 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.960 not CGI. The action sequences are stunning. Go and see 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.000 it in I'm Out's right, it's brilliant. And they haven't 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.680 used any CGI. The Colosseum is a one to well 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.280 one replica. It's huge. Yeah, so the mcg. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.960 Yes, but then there are some CGI. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.520 Shuts it in the Colosseum, and. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.680 Bankee said, well, I think that was true that they did. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.160 They were able to put water in the colony. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.000 That I didn't because I remember companies Ago go into 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.600 Row and I did one of those tours, right, and 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.200 they said they used to flood it. Okay, right, I believe, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:46.880 not say about and then the gladiators and the peasants 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.040 and that trying to fight fight for freedom taken on shots. 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.640 So this this actually became like if you can push 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.280 them in the water, don't worry the sharks or two 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:53.640 or much. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.920 So my first question is, I mean, look, they put 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.400 millions on this movie. The writers must have done a 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.200 quick Google or chat gpt Rome you know rio Ward, 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.120 and how do they get them because Rome isn't by 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:05.880 the sea side. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.680 No, So someone actually asked Ridley Scott this and he said, dude, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.120 if you can build a colosseum, you can flood it 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.040 with effing water. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.080 Are you joking? 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.640 And you'd obviously get a couple of sharks in a 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.440 net from the sea, are you kidding? 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.520 Of course they can. Okay, that's someone who hasn't googled it. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.200 And also how would they say they did get the 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.280 sharks from the sea? How did they get them? There 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.920 was chariots, great question, but apparently not. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.760 There aren't a lot of sources. I could fight on 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.000 the internet, but there. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.280 Because there's like two or three a few. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.120 Photos of actual sharks in the coliseum. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.640 There are two reports that they would ship exotic animals 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:49.640 in from around the world, including rhinoceroses and sharks, and 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.560 they what about gibbons? I haven't had time to Also, 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.560 it felt like because there was lines in the original right, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:15:59.840 which what when we think of the col. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.480 In the original one, Crowe just shakes one off like 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.200 it's a fat abby gat wee. Jimmy just shakes off 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.400 and the I can't fight Russell Crowe. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.640 We think of Gladiata's fighting lions and it's as if 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.280 they got to Gladiada too and go, well, we can't 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.320 do line now done with monkeys and sharks. Monkeys and sharks. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.560 Yeah, and then the other thing I want to know 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.440 is like and one of the scene, someone is reading 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.840 a newspaper, right, And even I'm not a great historian, 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.160 but I don't believe that the press and like printing 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.640 paper and that and newspapers weren't by another sort of 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.440 one thousand years after Ancient Rome, which fell in like 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.440 two one hundred and fifty eighty. 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.400 Scholars commonly credit the Ancient Romans with publishing the first newspaper. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.800 Actor Diona in Well, this one was called something like 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.200 it was the Herald Rome. It was something like the 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.040 Daily Rome or something like that. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.200 But do you have official notices a sort of daily gazette? 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.240 But these were carved on stone. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.560 No, no, this was like it was a newspaper. No, no, no, no, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.280 it didn't exist. Yeah, I don't think they're wired about 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.080 historical accuracy with it either. As well. Paul Mescalol is incredible, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.000 but they're all great. His ascendency now to being a 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.800 proper a list and stuff like that. However, it's not. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.240 It's nowhere near the Gravitasi the original. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.080 No, I would agree with that, but the action is 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:18.840 just as delicious as the first one. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.359 So on the way there, my wife goes Christeners checking 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.280 this is something to do with the first one. I went, 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.560 it's called Gladiator two. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.080 Think it's a coincidence. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.240 They both know it's the new Bridget Jones one, you 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.640 grant the brid of it and Colin Foot. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.800 They actually expanded Gladiata is the TV show into the movie. 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.320 Richard Curtis has directed it. The other thing that annoyed 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.560 me is they just called it Gladiator two. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.440 What you didn't We wanted some kind of sundering. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.520 Even like the Indiana Jones movies they have named Star 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.439 Wars or New Hope the Empire Fights Back. They just 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.960 didn't go Star Wars one, two, three, four. They could 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.560 have called like Gladiator, Arena of. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.520 Blood, Gladiata two, Sharks, Monkeys, Rhino. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.520 Yeah, and don't forget sand in the Eye as well. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.320 Christian Connell Show podcast with my. 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.640 Wife and I went to see Gladiator too last night. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.399 There's a scene it's this isn't a spoiler remotely, but 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.480 there's a scene where they flood the Colosseum, and then 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.800 these gladiators fighting for their freedom. I have to fight sharks, 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.520 right And I'm like, my wife goes, they might be dolphins. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:21.600 I'm like, it doesn't make it easy. 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.640 What are you going to do to the gladiators? Tickle them? 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.480 Flipper isn't going to be deadly to a guy with 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.119 a spear in the blade fighting for his freedom. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.439 And it still doesn't explain how Roman's got on from. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.919 Guys. I think there's are like this. I can hear 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:43.280 the squeaking. Oh my god, they're releasing the dolphins. So 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:44.960 what has happened to the hair? Well? 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.879 I went to my regular barber yesterday and he goes, 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.920
