Speaker 2: and we share what we're into this week. A couple

9
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:42,525
Speaker 2: of things for me. Brilliant, brilliant sports documentary. A really

10
00:00:42,565 --> 00:00:45,245
Speaker 2: great sports documentary. Transcends whether or not you're a fan

11
00:00:45,365 --> 00:00:47,045
Speaker 2: of that. And even if you're not an F one fan,

12
00:00:47,405 --> 00:00:50,365
Speaker 2: you can watch Senna one of the most amazing documentaries

13
00:00:50,405 --> 00:00:50,845
Speaker 2: ever made.

14
00:00:50,885 --> 00:00:52,805
Speaker 1: You don't need to be into the sport.

15
00:00:53,045 --> 00:00:56,085
Speaker 2: I would say that about this wild documentary on watching

16
00:00:56,125 --> 00:00:59,245
Speaker 2: at the moment, about the nineties dynasty of the Dallas Cowboys,

17
00:00:59,605 --> 00:01:02,925
Speaker 2: the Gambler and his money, about Jerry Rice and how

18
00:01:02,965 --> 00:01:06,164
Speaker 2: we transformed the NFL actually and out the wild ride

19
00:01:06,165 --> 00:01:08,325
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys when he brought the club of

20
00:01:08,325 --> 00:01:09,084
Speaker 2: then nineties.

21
00:01:09,165 --> 00:01:11,965
Speaker 1: It's a ten out of ten documentary. It is so good.

22
00:01:12,045 --> 00:01:13,645
Speaker 3: I've seen some clips on Instagram.

23
00:01:14,005 --> 00:01:15,325
Speaker 1: What a different time.

24
00:01:15,565 --> 00:01:18,845
Speaker 2: Yes, all of it. And what a character that's Jerry

25
00:01:18,925 --> 00:01:22,085
Speaker 2: rices as well. It's an amazing documentary. I'm halfway through it.

26
00:01:22,245 --> 00:01:25,005
Speaker 2: I cannot stop thinking about it, googling about it. I

27
00:01:25,045 --> 00:01:27,165
Speaker 2: don't know what a rusher is, you know, after he's

28
00:01:27,205 --> 00:01:29,405
Speaker 2: probably go, oh, Terry, you know he's a he's a

29
00:01:29,445 --> 00:01:30,925
Speaker 2: wide sacker or something.

30
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:33,845
Speaker 1: Is he legend? I don't know? Is that is that good?

31
00:01:34,405 --> 00:01:34,605
Speaker 2: Is he?

32
00:01:34,845 --> 00:01:37,645
Speaker 1: Is he one of the offenders or the defenders?

33
00:01:38,085 --> 00:01:42,125
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, all that tight ends, tight end, wide ends.

34
00:01:42,285 --> 00:01:45,125
Speaker 1: How many of you were in this team? It's ridiculous's

35
00:01:45,205 --> 00:01:49,245
Speaker 1: doing what and so and so got sacked? Did he what?

36
00:01:49,445 --> 00:01:52,965
Speaker 1: It's from the team. It's just it's a plague. I

37
00:01:53,005 --> 00:01:54,205
Speaker 1: saw a clip on Instagram.

38
00:01:54,325 --> 00:01:57,325
Speaker 3: Is it the one where he drills oil and he's

39
00:01:57,365 --> 00:01:59,285
Speaker 3: trying to h and that's how he makes his fortune?

40
00:01:59,405 --> 00:01:59,565
Speaker 2: Yeah?

41
00:01:59,885 --> 00:02:02,205
Speaker 1: All on this one. No, no, no, that's it.

42
00:02:02,285 --> 00:02:02,445
Speaker 4: Yeah.

43
00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:05,005
Speaker 2: The Gambler is money. Cannot recommend it enough. It's a

44
00:02:05,005 --> 00:02:07,565
Speaker 2: brilliant documentary. And the other thing, I actually need some

45
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:12,525
Speaker 2: advice in our family. I find the TV shows, we

46
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:15,964
Speaker 2: watched them, but my wife loves sci fi. So this

47
00:02:16,044 --> 00:02:18,364
Speaker 2: week I started to watch a sci fi I've done

48
00:02:18,365 --> 00:02:22,085
Speaker 2: some research or what's good? Is anyone watching Foundation? Does

49
00:02:22,085 --> 00:02:24,765
Speaker 2: it get better? We watched an episode last night and

50
00:02:24,805 --> 00:02:27,525
Speaker 2: it seemed I'm not a massive sci fi fan. It

51
00:02:27,525 --> 00:02:29,685
Speaker 2: feels like every TV show you've ever seen that sci

52
00:02:29,725 --> 00:02:33,365
Speaker 2: fi there's something with a galactic federation. They're up to

53
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:36,925
Speaker 2: no good, and straight away first episode it's like the

54
00:02:37,205 --> 00:02:40,525
Speaker 2: Galactins need the crayon crystals and we're not gonna let

55
00:02:40,605 --> 00:02:43,405
Speaker 2: them have it so easily. And then there's some explosion

56
00:02:43,485 --> 00:02:46,085
Speaker 2: in space and you're like, this is all very familiar.

57
00:02:47,005 --> 00:02:50,125
Speaker 2: There's a shady foundation, there's a genius who they're going

58
00:02:50,205 --> 00:02:52,685
Speaker 2: to arrest, and this was the first episode.

59
00:02:52,725 --> 00:02:54,565
Speaker 1: It was like I've seen all this before.

60
00:02:54,845 --> 00:02:58,405
Speaker 3: I find them so hard to follow sci fi. That's

61
00:02:58,405 --> 00:03:01,005
Speaker 3: where I really struggle. Like I watched Dark the Netflix series,

62
00:03:01,045 --> 00:03:03,325
Speaker 3: which is really good is it? But again like I

63
00:03:03,365 --> 00:03:06,645
Speaker 3: had to be wikipediaing every single episode because I didn't

64
00:03:06,685 --> 00:03:08,525
Speaker 3: exactly know what happened after I.

65
00:03:08,685 --> 00:03:12,605
Speaker 2: Well, in episode one, the mad scientists have been banished

66
00:03:12,845 --> 00:03:16,405
Speaker 2: to a planet Tyron and they say all this stuff

67
00:03:16,445 --> 00:03:17,405
Speaker 2: like we know what that is.

68
00:03:17,485 --> 00:03:20,005
Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, too much assumed knowledge.

69
00:03:20,285 --> 00:03:23,685
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of very overhammy British cast in it.

70
00:03:24,365 --> 00:03:25,485
Speaker 1: We're all that. Yes, well, the.

71
00:03:25,445 --> 00:03:28,485
Speaker 2: Admiral's not going to get away that easy with it.

72
00:03:28,605 --> 00:03:30,924
Speaker 2: You know, you just desperately be back on the West

73
00:03:31,005 --> 00:03:35,605
Speaker 2: End theater. You're slamming it in this box sci fi script.

74
00:03:36,045 --> 00:03:37,645
Speaker 2: How do you not laugh your head off when you're

75
00:03:37,685 --> 00:03:39,045
Speaker 2: in that city tunic as well?

76
00:03:39,245 --> 00:03:42,445
Speaker 1: And you go, Admiral, thank you for joining us. I'm

77
00:03:42,445 --> 00:03:44,285
Speaker 1: a grown adult. I studied for ten years.

78
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,285
Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyway, we're into it now, and that is

79
00:03:46,325 --> 00:03:48,885
Speaker 2: my weekend. I have my own show with the Dallas

80
00:03:48,925 --> 00:03:51,085
Speaker 2: Cowboys and then it's with Missus O'Connor.

81
00:03:51,125 --> 00:03:53,525
Speaker 1: When watching this foundation, please.

82
00:03:53,205 --> 00:03:55,445
Speaker 2: Tell me gets better or if there's a better sci

83
00:03:55,445 --> 00:03:57,965
Speaker 2: fi show that we should be watching, please let me know.

84
00:03:58,685 --> 00:04:03,565
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell show podcast, Patsy, what are you into? Yeah?

85
00:04:03,565 --> 00:04:06,845
Speaker 5: I've just finished a great book by Naomi Watts, who

86
00:04:07,085 --> 00:04:09,845
Speaker 5: is leading the charge, helping to lead the charge in

87
00:04:09,925 --> 00:04:13,485
Speaker 5: menopause awareness. Dare I say it? Everything I wish i'd

88
00:04:13,525 --> 00:04:17,445
Speaker 5: known about menopause. So she featured on Oprah's recent Minopause

89
00:04:17,485 --> 00:04:21,885
Speaker 5: Revolution show, very very open and doing amazing things. I

90
00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:24,565
Speaker 5: recommend if this is you follow her if you're not

91
00:04:24,604 --> 00:04:28,925
Speaker 5: already on Instagram she shares videos. It's really inspirational and

92
00:04:29,164 --> 00:04:31,044
Speaker 5: like the forward in a book for the generations of

93
00:04:31,085 --> 00:04:34,604
Speaker 5: women who've suffered in silence and for the next generations,

94
00:04:34,685 --> 00:04:39,125
Speaker 5: may they suffer no more, which is exactly about it.

95
00:04:39,325 --> 00:04:42,125
Speaker 1: And you know what, you're part of this movement? Yes,

96
00:04:42,245 --> 00:04:42,685
Speaker 1: I know you.

97
00:04:42,885 --> 00:04:45,085
Speaker 2: You start these two years ago, to be fair, Yeah

98
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:45,404
Speaker 2: I did.

99
00:04:45,645 --> 00:04:46,525
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

100
00:04:46,645 --> 00:04:49,445
Speaker 2: How now you know what you've kicked started now it's

101
00:04:49,484 --> 00:04:52,925
Speaker 2: like a real movement that helping millions of women all over. Honestly,

102
00:04:52,964 --> 00:04:54,885
Speaker 2: whenever you talk about a book like this, I get

103
00:04:54,924 --> 00:04:57,885
Speaker 2: emails every and every single day from not just women

104
00:04:57,924 --> 00:04:59,444
Speaker 2: going through it, but men as well that want to

105
00:04:59,445 --> 00:05:01,644
Speaker 2: help support the partner and actually read it and find

106
00:05:01,645 --> 00:05:05,645
Speaker 2: out more. So, when are you writing your book no More? Seriously,

107
00:05:06,404 --> 00:05:09,325
Speaker 2: You've got the podcast and it's great what name's doing,

108
00:05:09,325 --> 00:05:11,285
Speaker 2: but you've got to do this as well, because your

109
00:05:11,364 --> 00:05:12,244

110
00:05:12,325 --> 00:05:14,164
Speaker 5: Yeah I will, I will. I need your help on that.

111
00:05:14,205 --> 00:05:15,884
Speaker 5: I wouldn't even know where to start. I think this

112
00:05:16,005 --> 00:05:17,924
Speaker 5: is what I do before a big project is I

113
00:05:17,964 --> 00:05:21,884
Speaker 5: get so overawed with the enormity of the task that

114
00:05:22,005 --> 00:05:26,284
Speaker 5: I and also that imposter syndrome where I think, what

115
00:05:26,364 --> 00:05:30,244
Speaker 5: could I possibly write being honest here, what could I

116
00:05:30,325 --> 00:05:31,885
Speaker 5: possibly write that anyone would Well.

117
00:05:31,804 --> 00:05:32,724
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you could write.

118
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:35,044
Speaker 2: The only thing, listen, the only thing we're a master

119
00:05:35,164 --> 00:05:38,125
Speaker 2: of is our own lives. Talk about your story, talk

120
00:05:38,125 --> 00:05:39,724
Speaker 2: about what it's been like to do the podcast.

121
00:05:39,765 --> 00:05:40,884
Speaker 1: What surprised you?

122
00:05:40,885 --> 00:05:43,284
Speaker 2: You must have so many stories, some other women as well,

123
00:05:43,484 --> 00:05:45,164
Speaker 2: that you can weave those together as.

124
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:48,684
Speaker 5: Well well, stories, so many common themes. We all say

125
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:51,805
Speaker 5: the same things like, so many common themes. And if

126
00:05:51,804 --> 00:05:53,964
Speaker 5: it makes someone else, which is why I've done the podcast,

127
00:05:54,005 --> 00:05:56,925
Speaker 5: If it makes someone else feel better about their journey

128
00:05:56,964 --> 00:05:59,885
Speaker 5: and know that they're not alone, that is the biggest

129
00:05:59,924 --> 00:06:00,645
Speaker 5: payoff for me.

130
00:06:00,724 --> 00:06:02,564
Speaker 1: And I'm getting so many But that's when you write

131
00:06:02,565 --> 00:06:02,844
Speaker 1: the book.

132
00:06:02,844 --> 00:06:04,325
Speaker 2: When you go, why would I write the book? It's

133
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,804
Speaker 2: the same thing for the podcast. Why start podcasts? True,

134
00:06:06,924 --> 00:06:10,684
Speaker 2: it's just the same thing and a slow exactly. And

135
00:06:10,724 --> 00:06:12,964
Speaker 2: actually a book will mean that you going around and

136
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:16,444
Speaker 2: doing the interviews talking about it creates bigger rippors and

137
00:06:16,525 --> 00:06:17,485
Speaker 2: helps more people.

138
00:06:17,604 --> 00:06:19,284

00:06:27,565 --> 00:06:29,605
Speaker 1: It's that good will come in the book to us.

143
00:06:31,125 --> 00:06:35,445

00:08:29,925 --> 00:08:33,445

00:08:48,485 --> 00:08:52,005
Speaker 1: So serious sporting pedigree. But he's written this book.

192
00:08:52,045 --> 00:08:55,445
Speaker 4: It's a fictional I guess, snapshot of a footy club

193
00:08:55,925 --> 00:09:00,045
Speaker 4: and it is brutally funny. Like it's so so good.

194
00:09:00,405 --> 00:09:03,325

196
00:09:06,245 --> 00:09:09,045
Speaker 4: and I just love it. It's just fantastic. It's a

197
00:09:09,084 --> 00:09:11,925
Speaker 4: fictional account of a football club focusing on the everyday

198
00:09:11,925 --> 00:09:14,805
Speaker 4: lives of these players. And you've got these young men

199
00:09:15,084 --> 00:09:17,885
Speaker 4: like this, what forty four players on a team list,

200
00:09:18,165 --> 00:09:22,564
Speaker 4: You're gonna get shenanigans. And this guy writes about these

201
00:09:22,564 --> 00:09:25,925
Speaker 4: shenanigans the nicknames as well. I wanted to just read

202
00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:28,685
Speaker 4: you quickly. Terry equals Terry top up. It refers to

203
00:09:28,725 --> 00:09:31,485
Speaker 4: young players who are undrafted and respond positively to the

204
00:09:31,525 --> 00:09:33,765
Speaker 4: olive branch extended by the club and the promise that

205
00:09:33,765 --> 00:09:36,045
Speaker 4: if they're playable enough in the reserve grade team for

206
00:09:36,084 --> 00:09:38,565
Speaker 4: a year and attend all training sessions then they may

207
00:09:38,564 --> 00:09:40,405
Speaker 4: find themselves on the list at the end of the year.

208
00:09:40,485 --> 00:09:42,364
Speaker 1: It is worth saying that this is never the case.

209
00:09:43,845 --> 00:09:44,725
Speaker 1: What's the name of the book.

210
