Speaker 1: iHeart podcasts. You can hear more Gold one I four
Speaker 1: point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the free
Speaker 1: iHeart app. Got anything good? Hey, this is the Christian
Speaker 1: O'Connell show podcast. Now head a long weekend, there so
Speaker 1: many things to go and see and watch. Every Friday
Speaker 1: on the show we do a thing called double thumbs up,
Speaker 1: and over the long weekend, families getting together. You'll all
Speaker 1: be gathering out around the couch. You confronted with way
Speaker 1: too much choice. There's too much choice. You don't know what,
Speaker 1: you don't know what to watch, and so that's what
Speaker 1: we do double thumbs up. For me, it's still on
Speaker 1: the cinema. I earned you go and see at the
Speaker 1: cinema because that's where it really. It needs a big
Speaker 1: room because we're talking about a big talent. We're talking
Speaker 1: about Elvis Presley, the Baslam movie. Elvis was bull in
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But he's found the sixty
Speaker 1: boxes of unseen footage of Elvis live in constantly stitched
Speaker 1: together forensically. This live performance. You see Elvis performing and
Speaker 1: and also rehearsing as well. Us how hard he worked
Speaker 1: with that the world's greatest backup band as well. It's
Speaker 1: called epic Elvis Presley Live in concert. I can't recommend
Speaker 1: you go and see that enough and only be on
Speaker 1: for another week or two. It's one of those things
Speaker 1: where you do not need to be a big Elvis fan.
Speaker 1: It's the joy in someone who is just so amazingly
Speaker 1: good and live to perform as well, and it reminds
Speaker 1: you just one amazing voice he had. He doesn't get
Speaker 1: enough credit. There was such a big circus around Elvis
Speaker 1: his whole life, especially how it ended as well. That's
Speaker 1: the story of Elvis. It's just the tragedy, not the talent.
Speaker 1: My god, that voice. I haven't stopped listening to Elvis
Speaker 1: this week. I love that. My wife said, are you
Speaker 1: going through on Elvis revival went? I just felt like
Speaker 1: I got to really experience one of us must have
Speaker 1: been like to see him live and forget about the
Speaker 1: historics and everything else. Just what a singular talent, which
Speaker 1: also leads me to the next thing I'm giving a
Speaker 1: double thumbs up to that I watched last night. I
Speaker 1: love a sports documentary, and the really great ones will
Speaker 1: draw you in because it's about us what it is
Speaker 1: to be huge. The Senate documentary is one of my
Speaker 1: all time favorite movies. Also, When We were Kings of
Speaker 1: Hummadali one is incredible. Last dance I'm rewatching for the
Speaker 1: third time. I love that it did. I draw power
Speaker 1: from it. But anyway, the thing I watched last night,
Speaker 1: my wife came halfway through and was like, I'm not
Speaker 1: a big golf fan. And then I found her. She
Speaker 1: sat down the couch an hour later and what happened
Speaker 1: to that big golf fan? You've been watching this for
Speaker 1: an hour. It's the Rory McElroy documentary about him finally
Speaker 1: getting the US Masters. The Master's Weight is his story.
Speaker 1: It goes through the whole everything he did on the
Speaker 1: final nine, the highs and the lows, takes you through
Speaker 1: all the chokes he's had, not winning a major in
Speaker 1: twelve years. Commentators talking about him, all the crashing loaves
Speaker 1: him as a kid on TV shows when he was five,
Speaker 1: his brother talking about how you know they shared a
Speaker 1: bedroom growing up together in Ireland. Mum and dad were
Speaker 1: working class and his brother would fall to sleep holding
Speaker 1: that golf club in his hands where he just wanted
Speaker 1: to that motion to something at a young age and
Speaker 1: kept saying that he was going to win all the
Speaker 1: and then his mum and dad. You know, it takes
Speaker 1: a family to really really get behind a kid who's
Speaker 1: got this, this supernatural talent. His dad worked a ninety
Speaker 1: hour week, he had three jobs for eight years. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. And I was watching that, and so the
Speaker 1: dad worked during the day, the mum worked during the night.
Speaker 1: So between the mom and dad were working twenty four
Speaker 1: hours a day to back him. Because it just takes that,
Speaker 1: you know, to fly your kid around the world, and
Speaker 1: you're you're working class Northern Irish family. I was watching
Speaker 1: that thinking, thank god, neither my daughters were good at sport.
Speaker 1: The thought of working a ninety hour week brought me
Speaker 1: out in a rash team. Wait this, ninety hours in
Speaker 1: the week sixty nine, find a breakfast show, get some
Speaker 1: of the Irish Carl and Jackie Oh money, Jackie olshe
Speaker 1: so yeah. Rory mclory the documentary The Master's Way, cannot
Speaker 1: recommend that enough. What an uplifting story. You've been tears
Speaker 1: at the end when he wins it, you feel like
Speaker 1: it's a win as well. I don't know how, but
Speaker 1: it just did. Eat my Dorito's and a glass of
Speaker 1: red wine. Yessay, I jumped up. When he finally when
Speaker 1: he just collapses to the floor, you've seen iconic image.
Speaker 1: It's something like when Muhammad Ali on those iconic sports
Speaker 1: shots when an Ali has stood over sunny liston, sprawled
Speaker 1: on the canvas and he's just like dropped him and
Speaker 1: walked off. There's that shot and Rory clapsed into his
Speaker 1: knees where there's no words. You get what he's feeling
Speaker 1: in that moment. Cannot recommend enough that is on Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime RIEA. What's your double thumbs.
Speaker 2: Up, Aaron Chen, He's got a Netflix.
Speaker 1: R stand up. Yes, love his delivery just gets straight
Speaker 1: into it. Yes, he's built for comedies in the way
Speaker 1: he looks. Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also it's amazing to see someone like him. So
Speaker 2: he's an ausie comedian.
Speaker 1: He's a big global megastar.
Speaker 2: Now he's just a kid from Hornsby and Sydney who
Speaker 2: sort of just was doing Sydney pubs. And then he's
Speaker 2: on Fisk. If anyone's watched good really good show or
Speaker 2: Guy mont Gurry's gone Maurice spelling Bee. Then he blew
Speaker 2: up a couple of years ago when he went on
Speaker 2: Late Night with Seth Myers, and he did this brilliant
Speaker 2: and now it's incredible to see because he's just this,
Speaker 2: you know, small little Asian kid with messy.
Speaker 1: Homegrown talent story.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he just sort of shuffles around the stage.
Speaker 2: He's very awkward, but he's so so funny and now
Speaker 2: he's got a proper us Netflix special. It's filmed in
Speaker 2: New York. To see someone like that on that stage
Speaker 2: and this moment is so cool and something. He's got
Speaker 2: a real ossy sense of humor as well, so it's
Speaker 2: really great to watch that very understated, quiet, ossie dry,
Speaker 2: very very dry sense of humor. To make it on
Speaker 2: the big stage in America is so cool.
Speaker 1: He's a careless stand up as well. Okay, so what's
Speaker 1: the special coolness on Netflix?
Speaker 2: Yes, on Netflix, it's called Funny Garden.
