<v Speaker 2>thumbs up. This is where we go around the team

0:00:36.525 --> 0:00:39.365
<v Speaker 2>and we share what we're into this week. A couple

0:00:39.405 --> 0:00:42.525
<v Speaker 2>of things for me. Brilliant, brilliant sports documentary. A really

0:00:42.565 --> 0:00:45.245
<v Speaker 2>great sports documentary. Transcends whether or not you're a fan

0:00:45.365 --> 0:00:47.045
<v Speaker 2>of that. And even if you're not an F one fan,

0:00:47.405 --> 0:00:50.365
<v Speaker 2>you can watch Senna one of the most amazing documentaries

0:00:50.405 --> 0:00:50.845
<v Speaker 2>ever made.

0:00:50.885 --> 0:00:52.805
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to be into the sport.

0:00:53.045 --> 0:00:56.085
<v Speaker 2>I would say that about this wild documentary on watching

0:00:56.125 --> 0:00:59.245
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, about the nineties dynasty of the Dallas Cowboys,

0:00:59.605 --> 0:01:02.925
<v Speaker 2>the Gambler and his money, about Jerry Rice and how

0:01:02.965 --> 0:01:06.164
<v Speaker 2>we transformed the NFL actually and out the wild ride

0:01:06.165 --> 0:01:08.325
<v Speaker 2>of the Dallas Cowboys when he brought the club of

0:01:08.325 --> 0:01:09.084
<v Speaker 2>then nineties.

0:01:09.165 --> 0:01:11.965
<v Speaker 1>It's a ten out of ten documentary. It is so good.

0:01:12.045 --> 0:01:13.645
<v Speaker 3>I've seen some clips on Instagram.

0:01:14.005 --> 0:01:15.325
<v Speaker 1>What a different time.

0:01:15.565 --> 0:01:18.845
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all of it. And what a character that's Jerry

0:01:18.925 --> 0:01:22.085
<v Speaker 2>rices as well. It's an amazing documentary. I'm halfway through it.

0:01:22.245 --> 0:01:25.005
<v Speaker 2>I cannot stop thinking about it, googling about it. I

0:01:25.045 --> 0:01:27.165
<v Speaker 2>don't know what a rusher is, you know, after he's

0:01:27.205 --> 0:01:29.405
<v Speaker 2>probably go, oh, Terry, you know he's a he's a

0:01:29.445 --> 0:01:30.925
<v Speaker 2>wide sacker or something.

0:01:31.525 --> 0:01:33.845
<v Speaker 1>Is he legend? I don't know? Is that is that good?

0:01:34.405 --> 0:01:34.605
<v Speaker 2>Is he?

0:01:34.845 --> 0:01:37.645
<v Speaker 1>Is he one of the offenders or the defenders?

0:01:38.085 --> 0:01:42.125
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, all that tight ends, tight end, wide ends.

0:01:42.285 --> 0:01:45.125
<v Speaker 1>How many of you were in this team? It's ridiculous's

0:01:45.205 --> 0:01:49.245
<v Speaker 1>doing what and so and so got sacked? Did he what?

0:01:49.445 --> 0:01:52.965
<v Speaker 1>It's from the team. It's just it's a plague. I

0:01:53.005 --> 0:01:54.205
<v Speaker 1>saw a clip on Instagram.

0:01:54.325 --> 0:01:57.325
<v Speaker 3>Is it the one where he drills oil and he's

0:01:57.365 --> 0:01:59.285
<v Speaker 3>trying to h and that's how he makes his fortune?

0:01:59.405 --> 0:01:59.565
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:59.885 --> 0:02:02.205
<v Speaker 1>All on this one. No, no, no, that's it.

0:02:02.285 --> 0:02:02.445
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:02.485 --> 0:02:05.005
<v Speaker 2>The Gambler is money. Cannot recommend it enough. It's a

0:02:05.005 --> 0:02:07.565
<v Speaker 2>brilliant documentary. And the other thing, I actually need some

0:02:07.605 --> 0:02:12.525
<v Speaker 2>advice in our family. I find the TV shows, we

0:02:12.565 --> 0:02:15.964
<v Speaker 2>watched them, but my wife loves sci fi. So this

0:02:16.044 --> 0:02:18.364
<v Speaker 2>week I started to watch a sci fi I've done

0:02:18.365 --> 0:02:22.085
<v Speaker 2>some research or what's good? Is anyone watching Foundation? Does

0:02:22.085 --> 0:02:24.765
<v Speaker 2>it get better? We watched an episode last night and

0:02:24.805 --> 0:02:27.525
<v Speaker 2>it seemed I'm not a massive sci fi fan. It

0:02:27.525 --> 0:02:29.685
<v Speaker 2>feels like every TV show you've ever seen that sci

0:02:29.725 --> 0:02:33.365
<v Speaker 2>fi there's something with a galactic federation. They're up to

0:02:33.445 --> 0:02:36.925
<v Speaker 2>no good, and straight away first episode it's like the

0:02:37.205 --> 0:02:40.525
<v Speaker 2>Galactins need the crayon crystals and we're not gonna let

0:02:40.605 --> 0:02:43.405
<v Speaker 2>them have it so easily. And then there's some explosion

0:02:43.485 --> 0:02:46.085
<v Speaker 2>in space and you're like, this is all very familiar.

0:02:47.005 --> 0:02:50.125
<v Speaker 2>There's a shady foundation, there's a genius who they're going

0:02:50.205 --> 0:02:52.685
<v Speaker 2>to arrest, and this was the first episode.

0:02:52.725 --> 0:02:54.565
<v Speaker 1>It was like I've seen all this before.

0:02:54.845 --> 0:02:58.405
<v Speaker 3>I find them so hard to follow sci fi. That's

0:02:58.405 --> 0:03:01.005
<v Speaker 3>where I really struggle. Like I watched Dark the Netflix series,

0:03:01.045 --> 0:03:03.325
<v Speaker 3>which is really good is it? But again like I

0:03:03.365 --> 0:03:06.645
<v Speaker 3>had to be wikipediaing every single episode because I didn't

0:03:06.685 --> 0:03:08.525
<v Speaker 3>exactly know what happened after I.

0:03:08.685 --> 0:03:12.605
<v Speaker 2>Well, in episode one, the mad scientists have been banished

0:03:12.845 --> 0:03:16.405
<v Speaker 2>to a planet Tyron and they say all this stuff

0:03:16.445 --> 0:03:17.405
<v Speaker 2>like we know what that is.

0:03:17.485 --> 0:03:20.005
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yes, too much assumed knowledge.

0:03:20.285 --> 0:03:23.685
<v Speaker 2>There's also a lot of very overhammy British cast in it.

0:03:24.365 --> 0:03:25.485
<v Speaker 1>We're all that. Yes, well, the.

0:03:25.445 --> 0:03:28.485
<v Speaker 2>Admiral's not going to get away that easy with it.

0:03:28.605 --> 0:03:30.924
<v Speaker 2>You know, you just desperately be back on the West

0:03:31.005 --> 0:03:35.605
<v Speaker 2>End theater. You're slamming it in this box sci fi script.

0:03:36.045 --> 0:03:37.645
<v Speaker 2>How do you not laugh your head off when you're

0:03:37.685 --> 0:03:39.045
<v Speaker 2>in that city tunic as well?

0:03:39.245 --> 0:03:42.445
<v Speaker 1>And you go, Admiral, thank you for joining us. I'm

0:03:42.445 --> 0:03:44.285
<v Speaker 1>a grown adult. I studied for ten years.

0:03:44.325 --> 0:03:46.285
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but anyway, we're into it now, and that is

0:03:46.325 --> 0:03:48.885
<v Speaker 2>my weekend. I have my own show with the Dallas

0:03:48.925 --> 0:03:51.085
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys and then it's with Missus O'Connor.

0:03:51.125 --> 0:03:53.525
<v Speaker 1>When watching this foundation, please.

0:03:53.205 --> 0:03:55.445
<v Speaker 2>Tell me gets better or if there's a better sci

0:03:55.445 --> 0:03:57.965
<v Speaker 2>fi show that we should be watching, please let me know.

0:03:58.685 --> 0:04:03.565
<v Speaker 2>Christian O'Connell show podcast, Patsy, what are you into? Yeah?

0:04:03.565 --> 0:04:06.845
<v Speaker 5>I've just finished a great book by Naomi Watts, who

0:04:07.085 --> 0:04:09.845
<v Speaker 5>is leading the charge, helping to lead the charge in

0:04:09.925 --> 0:04:13.485
<v Speaker 5>menopause awareness. Dare I say it? Everything I wish i'd

0:04:13.525 --> 0:04:17.445
<v Speaker 5>known about menopause. So she featured on Oprah's recent Minopause

0:04:17.485 --> 0:04:21.885
<v Speaker 5>Revolution show, very very open and doing amazing things. I

0:04:21.964 --> 0:04:24.565
<v Speaker 5>recommend if this is you follow her if you're not

0:04:24.604 --> 0:04:28.925
<v Speaker 5>already on Instagram she shares videos. It's really inspirational and

0:04:29.164 --> 0:04:31.044
<v Speaker 5>like the forward in a book for the generations of

0:04:31.085 --> 0:04:34.604
<v Speaker 5>women who've suffered in silence and for the next generations,

0:04:34.685 --> 0:04:39.125
<v Speaker 5>may they suffer no more, which is exactly about it.

0:04:39.325 --> 0:04:42.125
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, you're part of this movement? Yes,

0:04:42.245 --> 0:04:42.685
<v Speaker 1>I know you.

0:04:42.885 --> 0:04:45.085
<v Speaker 2>You start these two years ago, to be fair, Yeah

0:04:45.085 --> 0:04:45.404
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:04:45.645 --> 0:04:46.525
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible.

0:04:46.645 --> 0:04:49.445
<v Speaker 2>How now you know what you've kicked started now it's

0:04:49.484 --> 0:04:52.925
<v Speaker 2>like a real movement that helping millions of women all over. Honestly,

0:04:52.964 --> 0:04:54.885
<v Speaker 2>whenever you talk about a book like this, I get

0:04:54.924 --> 0:04:57.885
<v Speaker 2>emails every and every single day from not just women

0:04:57.924 --> 0:04:59.444
<v Speaker 2>going through it, but men as well that want to

0:04:59.445 --> 0:05:01.644
<v Speaker 2>help support the partner and actually read it and find

0:05:01.645 --> 0:05:05.645
<v Speaker 2>out more. So, when are you writing your book no More? Seriously,

0:05:06.404 --> 0:05:09.325
<v Speaker 2>You've got the podcast and it's great what name's doing,

0:05:09.325 --> 0:05:11.285
<v Speaker 2>but you've got to do this as well, because your

0:05:11.364 --> 0:05:12.244
<v Speaker 2>story be unique.

0:05:12.325 --> 0:05:14.164
<v Speaker 5>Yeah I will, I will. I need your help on that.

0:05:14.205 --> 0:05:15.884
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't even know where to start. I think this

0:05:16.005 --> 0:05:17.924
<v Speaker 5>is what I do before a big project is I

0:05:17.964 --> 0:05:21.884
<v Speaker 5>get so overawed with the enormity of the task that

0:05:22.005 --> 0:05:26.284
<v Speaker 5>I and also that imposter syndrome where I think, what

0:05:26.364 --> 0:05:30.244
<v Speaker 5>could I possibly write being honest here, what could I

0:05:30.325 --> 0:05:31.885
<v Speaker 5>possibly write that anyone would Well.

0:05:31.804 --> 0:05:32.724
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what you could write.

0:05:33.125 --> 0:05:35.044
<v Speaker 2>The only thing, listen, the only thing we're a master

0:05:35.164 --> 0:05:38.125
<v Speaker 2>of is our own lives. Talk about your story, talk

0:05:38.125 --> 0:05:39.724
<v Speaker 2>about what it's been like to do the podcast.

0:05:39.765 --> 0:05:40.884
<v Speaker 1>What surprised you?

0:05:40.885 --> 0:05:43.284
<v Speaker 2>You must have so many stories, some other women as well,

0:05:43.484 --> 0:05:45.164
<v Speaker 2>that you can weave those together as.

0:05:45.044 --> 0:05:48.684
<v Speaker 5>Well well, stories, so many common themes. We all say

0:05:48.724 --> 0:05:51.805
<v Speaker 5>the same things like, so many common themes. And if

0:05:51.804 --> 0:05:53.964
<v Speaker 5>it makes someone else, which is why I've done the podcast,

0:05:54.005 --> 0:05:56.925
<v Speaker 5>If it makes someone else feel better about their journey

0:05:56.964 --> 0:05:59.885
<v Speaker 5>and know that they're not alone, that is the biggest

0:05:59.924 --> 0:06:00.645
<v Speaker 5>payoff for me.

0:06:00.724 --> 0:06:02.564
<v Speaker 1>And I'm getting so many But that's when you write

0:06:02.565 --> 0:06:02.844
<v Speaker 1>the book.

0:06:02.844 --> 0:06:04.325
<v Speaker 2>When you go, why would I write the book? It's

0:06:04.364 --> 0:06:06.804
<v Speaker 2>the same thing for the podcast. Why start podcasts? True,

0:06:06.924 --> 0:06:10.684
<v Speaker 2>it's just the same thing and a slow exactly. And

0:06:10.724 --> 0:06:12.964
<v Speaker 2>actually a book will mean that you going around and

0:06:13.005 --> 0:06:16.444
<v Speaker 2>doing the interviews talking about it creates bigger rippors and

0:06:16.525 --> 0:06:17.485
<v Speaker 2>helps more people.

0:06:17.604 --> 0:06:19.284

<v Speaker 3>this complete family.

0:08:09.005 --> 0:08:10.765
<v Speaker 1>It's really beautiful. Oh my god.

0:08:11.364 --> 0:08:13.325
<v Speaker 3>If you just got on the ABC website or the

0:08:13.364 --> 0:08:16.124
<v Speaker 3>ABC Instagram, you'll see the headline there.

0:08:16.165 --> 0:08:17.845
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful stuff, Alex. What's it for you?

0:08:17.965 --> 0:08:18.045
<v Speaker 2>Me?

0:08:18.645 --> 0:08:21.485
<v Speaker 4>Bit of a language warning on this one. It's called Pissants.

0:08:21.725 --> 0:08:25.165
<v Speaker 4>It's a book written by Brandon Jack. I have been

0:08:25.245 --> 0:08:29.645
<v Speaker 4>laughing every second page reading this book. It is searingly,

0:08:29.925 --> 0:08:33.445
<v Speaker 4>brutally unbelievably great. And he's done so well. He's a

0:08:33.445 --> 0:08:36.805
<v Speaker 4>former Sydney Swans player, a fringe player, it must be said,

0:08:36.845 --> 0:08:40.165
<v Speaker 4>twenty eight games between well in the mid twenty tens.

0:08:40.285 --> 0:08:42.965
<v Speaker 4>His brother is kier and Jack premiership winner in twenty twelve.

0:08:43.165 --> 0:08:46.204
<v Speaker 4>His father is Gary Jack, rugby league legend played for

0:08:46.285 --> 0:08:48.245
<v Speaker 4>New Wales, Baumin Australia as well.

0:08:48.485 --> 0:08:52.005
<v Speaker 1>So serious sporting pedigree. But he's written this book.

0:08:52.045 --> 0:08:55.445
<v Speaker 4>It's a fictional I guess, snapshot of a footy club

0:08:55.925 --> 0:09:00.045
<v Speaker 4>and it is brutally funny. Like it's so so good.

0:09:00.405 --> 0:09:03.325
<v Speaker 4>This kid is an amazing writer. He's only young and

0:09:03.365 --> 0:09:05.765
<v Speaker 4>he's gone and written this book. He's first ever novel,

0:09:06.245 --> 0:09:09.045
<v Speaker 4>and I just love it. It's just fantastic. It's a

0:09:09.084 --> 0:09:11.925
<v Speaker 4>fictional account of a football club focusing on the everyday

0:09:11.925 --> 0:09:14.805
<v Speaker 4>lives of these players. And you've got these young men

0:09:15.084 --> 0:09:17.885
<v Speaker 4>like this, what forty four players on a team list,

0:09:18.165 --> 0:09:22.564
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna get shenanigans. And this guy writes about these

0:09:22.564 --> 0:09:25.925
<v Speaker 4>shenanigans the nicknames as well. I wanted to just read

0:09:25.965 --> 0:09:28.685
<v Speaker 4>you quickly. Terry equals Terry top up. It refers to

0:09:28.725 --> 0:09:31.485
<v Speaker 4>young players who are undrafted and respond positively to the

0:09:31.525 --> 0:09:33.765
<v Speaker 4>olive branch extended by the club and the promise that

0:09:33.765 --> 0:09:36.045
<v Speaker 4>if they're playable enough in the reserve grade team for

0:09:36.084 --> 0:09:38.565
<v Speaker 4>a year and attend all training sessions then they may

0:09:38.564 --> 0:09:40.405
<v Speaker 4>find themselves on the list at the end of the year.

0:09:40.485 --> 0:09:42.364
<v Speaker 1>It is worth saying that this is never the case.

0:09:43.845 --> 0:09:44.725
<v Speaker 1>What's the name of the book.

0:09:44.725 --> 0:09:48.485
<v Speaker 4>It's called piss Ants by Brandon Jack. It is wonderful,

0:09:48.925 --> 0:09:50.564
<v Speaker 4>very very funny. I just love it.

0:09:50.605 --> 0:09:53.564
<v Speaker 1>Go and rd it. It's really good. The Christian O'Connell
