Speaker 1: O'Connell show podcast. Now head a long weekend, there so

5
00:00:29,245 --> 00:00:31,845
Speaker 1: many things to go and see and watch. Every Friday

6
00:00:31,885 --> 00:00:33,845
Speaker 1: on the show we do a thing called double thumbs up,

7
00:00:33,965 --> 00:00:36,284
Speaker 1: and over the long weekend, families getting together. You'll all

8
00:00:36,285 --> 00:00:39,364
Speaker 1: be gathering out around the couch. You confronted with way

9
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:41,644
Speaker 1: too much choice. There's too much choice. You don't know what,

10
00:00:41,725 --> 00:00:43,885
Speaker 1: you don't know what to watch, and so that's what

11
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:46,885
Speaker 1: we do double thumbs up. For me, it's still on

12
00:00:46,885 --> 00:00:48,764
Speaker 1: the cinema. I earned you go and see at the

13
00:00:48,845 --> 00:00:51,685
Speaker 1: cinema because that's where it really. It needs a big

14
00:00:51,725 --> 00:00:53,765
Speaker 1: room because we're talking about a big talent. We're talking

15
00:00:53,765 --> 00:00:57,084
Speaker 1: about Elvis Presley, the Baslam movie. Elvis was bull in

16
00:00:57,085 --> 00:00:59,885
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But he's found the sixty

17
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:03,285
Speaker 1: boxes of unseen footage of Elvis live in constantly stitched

18
00:01:03,325 --> 00:01:08,805
Speaker 1: together forensically. This live performance. You see Elvis performing and

19
00:01:08,805 --> 00:01:11,285
Speaker 1: and also rehearsing as well. Us how hard he worked

20
00:01:11,285 --> 00:01:13,845
Speaker 1: with that the world's greatest backup band as well. It's

21
00:01:13,845 --> 00:01:17,125
Speaker 1: called epic Elvis Presley Live in concert. I can't recommend

22
00:01:17,165 --> 00:01:18,805
Speaker 1: you go and see that enough and only be on

23
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:20,165
Speaker 1: for another week or two. It's one of those things

24
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,205
Speaker 1: where you do not need to be a big Elvis fan.

25
00:01:23,525 --> 00:01:26,445
Speaker 1: It's the joy in someone who is just so amazingly

26
00:01:26,485 --> 00:01:29,765
Speaker 1: good and live to perform as well, and it reminds

27
00:01:29,805 --> 00:01:32,245
Speaker 1: you just one amazing voice he had. He doesn't get

28
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:34,845
Speaker 1: enough credit. There was such a big circus around Elvis

29
00:01:35,125 --> 00:01:37,765
Speaker 1: his whole life, especially how it ended as well. That's

30
00:01:37,805 --> 00:01:40,645
Speaker 1: the story of Elvis. It's just the tragedy, not the talent.

31
00:01:41,085 --> 00:01:44,485
Speaker 1: My god, that voice. I haven't stopped listening to Elvis

32
00:01:44,485 --> 00:01:46,325
Speaker 1: this week. I love that. My wife said, are you

33
00:01:46,365 --> 00:01:49,165
Speaker 1: going through on Elvis revival went? I just felt like

34
00:01:49,245 --> 00:01:51,965
Speaker 1: I got to really experience one of us must have

35
00:01:52,005 --> 00:01:54,165
Speaker 1: been like to see him live and forget about the

36
00:01:54,205 --> 00:01:57,725
Speaker 1: historics and everything else. Just what a singular talent, which

37
00:01:57,765 --> 00:01:59,525
Speaker 1: also leads me to the next thing I'm giving a

38
00:01:59,525 --> 00:02:01,925
Speaker 1: double thumbs up to that I watched last night. I

39
00:02:01,965 --> 00:02:04,965
Speaker 1: love a sports documentary, and the really great ones will

40
00:02:05,045 --> 00:02:08,045
Speaker 1: draw you in because it's about us what it is

41
00:02:08,085 --> 00:02:10,765
Speaker 1: to be huge. The Senate documentary is one of my

42
00:02:10,805 --> 00:02:14,125
Speaker 1: all time favorite movies. Also, When We were Kings of

43
00:02:14,205 --> 00:02:18,045
Speaker 1: Hummadali one is incredible. Last dance I'm rewatching for the

44
00:02:18,045 --> 00:02:21,325
Speaker 1: third time. I love that it did. I draw power

45
00:02:21,325 --> 00:02:23,484
Speaker 1: from it. But anyway, the thing I watched last night,

46
00:02:23,845 --> 00:02:25,845
Speaker 1: my wife came halfway through and was like, I'm not

47
00:02:25,845 --> 00:02:28,045
Speaker 1: a big golf fan. And then I found her. She

48
00:02:28,085 --> 00:02:30,005
Speaker 1: sat down the couch an hour later and what happened

49
00:02:30,045 --> 00:02:32,525
Speaker 1: to that big golf fan? You've been watching this for

50
00:02:32,565 --> 00:02:35,764
Speaker 1: an hour. It's the Rory McElroy documentary about him finally

51
00:02:35,765 --> 00:02:40,285
Speaker 1: getting the US Masters. The Master's Weight is his story.

52
00:02:40,765 --> 00:02:43,045
Speaker 1: It goes through the whole everything he did on the

53
00:02:43,045 --> 00:02:46,245
Speaker 1: final nine, the highs and the lows, takes you through

54
00:02:46,325 --> 00:02:48,845
Speaker 1: all the chokes he's had, not winning a major in

55
00:02:48,925 --> 00:02:52,965
Speaker 1: twelve years. Commentators talking about him, all the crashing loaves

56
00:02:53,085 --> 00:02:56,005
Speaker 1: him as a kid on TV shows when he was five,

57
00:02:56,445 --> 00:02:59,405
Speaker 1: his brother talking about how you know they shared a

58
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:02,165
Speaker 1: bedroom growing up together in Ireland. Mum and dad were

59
00:03:02,165 --> 00:03:05,005
Speaker 1: working class and his brother would fall to sleep holding

60
00:03:05,045 --> 00:03:07,764
Speaker 1: that golf club in his hands where he just wanted

61
00:03:07,805 --> 00:03:10,845
Speaker 1: to that motion to something at a young age and

62
00:03:11,005 --> 00:03:12,885
Speaker 1: kept saying that he was going to win all the

63
00:03:13,525 --> 00:03:15,205
Speaker 1: and then his mum and dad. You know, it takes

64
00:03:15,205 --> 00:03:17,965
Speaker 1: a family to really really get behind a kid who's

65
00:03:18,005 --> 00:03:21,245
Speaker 1: got this, this supernatural talent. His dad worked a ninety

66
00:03:21,325 --> 00:03:24,365
Speaker 1: hour week, he had three jobs for eight years. Oh

67
00:03:24,445 --> 00:03:27,685
Speaker 1: my gosh. And I was watching that, and so the

68
00:03:27,765 --> 00:03:29,925
Speaker 1: dad worked during the day, the mum worked during the night.

69
00:03:30,005 --> 00:03:31,885
Speaker 1: So between the mom and dad were working twenty four

70
00:03:31,925 --> 00:03:34,085
Speaker 1: hours a day to back him. Because it just takes that,

71
00:03:34,205 --> 00:03:35,525
Speaker 1: you know, to fly your kid around the world, and

72
00:03:35,565 --> 00:03:38,685
Speaker 1: you're you're working class Northern Irish family. I was watching

73
00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:41,125
Speaker 1: that thinking, thank god, neither my daughters were good at sport.

74
00:03:42,205 --> 00:03:45,365
Speaker 1: The thought of working a ninety hour week brought me

75
00:03:45,405 --> 00:03:48,525
Speaker 1: out in a rash team. Wait this, ninety hours in

76
00:03:48,525 --> 00:03:52,725
Speaker 1: the week sixty nine, find a breakfast show, get some

77
00:03:52,805 --> 00:03:57,565
Speaker 1: of the Irish Carl and Jackie Oh money, Jackie olshe

78
00:03:58,485 --> 00:04:02,085
Speaker 1: so yeah. Rory mclory the documentary The Master's Way, cannot

79
00:04:02,125 --> 00:04:05,525
Speaker 1: recommend that enough. What an uplifting story. You've been tears

80
00:04:05,565 --> 00:04:07,605
Speaker 1: at the end when he wins it, you feel like

81
00:04:08,125 --> 00:04:10,285
Speaker 1: it's a win as well. I don't know how, but

82
00:04:10,405 --> 00:04:12,765
Speaker 1: it just did. Eat my Dorito's and a glass of

83
00:04:12,845 --> 00:04:15,485
Speaker 1: red wine. Yessay, I jumped up. When he finally when

84
00:04:15,485 --> 00:04:18,244
Speaker 1: he just collapses to the floor, you've seen iconic image.

85
00:04:18,245 --> 00:04:20,925
Speaker 1: It's something like when Muhammad Ali on those iconic sports

86
00:04:20,925 --> 00:04:24,925
Speaker 1: shots when an Ali has stood over sunny liston, sprawled

87
00:04:24,924 --> 00:04:26,564
Speaker 1: on the canvas and he's just like dropped him and

88
00:04:26,565 --> 00:04:29,085
Speaker 1: walked off. There's that shot and Rory clapsed into his

89
00:04:29,164 --> 00:04:31,844
Speaker 1: knees where there's no words. You get what he's feeling

90
00:04:31,885 --> 00:04:34,964
Speaker 1: in that moment. Cannot recommend enough that is on Amazon

91
00:04:35,005 --> 00:04:37,125
Speaker 1: Prime RIEA. What's your double thumbs.

92
00:04:36,885 --> 00:04:39,125

Speaker 1: R stand up. Yes, love his delivery just gets straight

94
00:04:41,604 --> 00:04:43,924
Speaker 1: into it. Yes, he's built for comedies in the way

95
00:04:43,964 --> 00:04:45,645
Speaker 1: he looks. Yes. Yeah.

96
00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:48,404
Speaker 2: But also it's amazing to see someone like him. So

97
00:04:48,445 --> 00:04:49,564
Speaker 2: he's an ausie comedian.

98
00:04:50,364 --> 00:04:51,645
Speaker 1: He's a big global megastar.

99
00:04:51,724 --> 00:04:54,964
Speaker 2: Now he's just a kid from Hornsby and Sydney who

100
00:04:55,085 --> 00:04:57,685
Speaker 2: sort of just was doing Sydney pubs. And then he's

101
00:04:57,724 --> 00:05:01,004
Speaker 2: on Fisk. If anyone's watched good really good show or

102
00:05:01,005 --> 00:05:04,245
Speaker 2: Guy mont Gurry's gone Maurice spelling Bee. Then he blew

103
00:05:04,325 --> 00:05:06,124
Speaker 2: up a couple of years ago when he went on

104
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:08,404
Speaker 2: Late Night with Seth Myers, and he did this brilliant

105
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:11,605
Speaker 2: and now it's incredible to see because he's just this,

106
00:05:11,804 --> 00:05:14,484
Speaker 2: you know, small little Asian kid with messy.

107
00:05:14,885 --> 00:05:16,245
Speaker 1: Homegrown talent story.

108
00:05:16,325 --> 00:05:18,724
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he just sort of shuffles around the stage.

109
00:05:18,765 --> 00:05:22,805
Speaker 2: He's very awkward, but he's so so funny and now

110
00:05:22,844 --> 00:05:25,404
Speaker 2: he's got a proper us Netflix special. It's filmed in

111
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:29,125
Speaker 2: New York. To see someone like that on that stage

112
00:05:29,164 --> 00:05:33,365
Speaker 2: and this moment is so cool and something. He's got

113
00:05:33,404 --> 00:05:35,565
Speaker 2: a real ossy sense of humor as well, so it's

114
00:05:35,565 --> 00:05:39,724
Speaker 2: really great to watch that very understated, quiet, ossie dry,

115
00:05:40,044 --> 00:05:42,645
Speaker 2: very very dry sense of humor. To make it on

116
00:05:42,685 --> 00:05:44,685
Speaker 2: the big stage in America is so cool.

117
00:05:44,724 --> 00:05:46,445
Speaker 1: He's a careless stand up as well. Okay, so what's

118
00:05:46,445 --> 00:05:48,125
Speaker 1: the special coolness on Netflix?

119
00:05:48,245 --> 00:05:50,205
Speaker 2: Yes, on Netflix, it's called Funny Garden.
