Speaker 2: And again Patsy and I were talking about last week.
Speaker 2: Actually they get so much from it.
Speaker 3: Oh she loves it.
Speaker 2: And out of the school environment, they learn about collaboration
Speaker 2: and they.
Speaker 1: Really bond and it does a confidence the world of good.
Speaker 2: Even if they don't have ambitions to go and do
Speaker 2: it on theater, it really gets them out of their comforts,
Speaker 2: you know what.
Speaker 3: It's so good for their social skills.
Speaker 4: They made a difference, you know, different friendship circle and
Speaker 4: when you're kid, there is nothing more empowering for them
Speaker 4: and for you as a parent when they find their thing.
Speaker 4: It could be sport, it could be whatever they're into.
Speaker 4: But when you know they come off stage and she
Speaker 4: is absolutely baming like she's your forhic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just kind of glowing.
Speaker 2: They that's opened up. And also perhaps don't you find
Speaker 2: it's like fight club. They don't want to tell you
Speaker 2: about what went on, which is why you know, I
Speaker 2: get why you don't know.
Speaker 1: All about that.
Speaker 3: Now idea what they're doing?
Speaker 1: How was it?
Speaker 2: Because you're glowing off their glow and they go, oh,
Speaker 2: don't make it weird. I was doing is questions, don't
Speaker 2: shrink away and just drive you home them for an
Speaker 2: hour and a half. I didn't want anything to do
Speaker 2: on a Saturday anyway.
Speaker 3: It's so good at bottling those sort of emotions.
Speaker 1: It's like it's got to do with you. It was
Speaker 1: just simply from the back seat. Why are you interested?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's based on why that might be?
Speaker 4: Why might that be for your lessons for a start? Yes,
Speaker 4: so big mumsy, waken this weekend.
Speaker 1: What are you up to this weekend?
Speaker 5: At eleven am, I'll be embarking on a twelve hour
Speaker 5: pub crawl.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 1: This is alive. I used to used to have Wow,
Speaker 1: what's it like to be like that? And I'm scared.
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit skinned and I don't know if
Speaker 5: I still.
Speaker 1: Have still got that in you. Yeah, so it's going
Speaker 1: to be an interesting test.
Speaker 2: It's more like what happens the next day after the
Speaker 2: next day, it's Monday, I'm now worried about Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's not the day after, because sometimes you can do
Speaker 2: something like that and you think, wow, I've still got
Speaker 2: it anything. I haven't got a hangover, you're still processing booze,
Speaker 2: you're slightly drunk. But then the Monday you're like, oh God,
Speaker 2: did I get thrown from a small light aircraft?
Speaker 1: I think I've been hit by car. I'm not in
Speaker 1: a great way telling you this now, actually, because if
Speaker 1: I be here but not here, you.
Speaker 3: Need to have a really hearty breakfast. You've got to
Speaker 3: have something in you belly. Today in the.
Speaker 2: Middle of the show on Monday at six was having
Speaker 2: a full English breakfast. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, three change, yeah,
Speaker 2: stop it not to change phats he does three change.
Speaker 3: You've got to prepare the stomach before.
Speaker 1: You go again. This is a pro you should do
Speaker 1: like an online masterclass.
Speaker 2: Stop boozes, guy, last, stop brawlers.
Speaker 4: Seriously, you guys, what are you up to in there?
Speaker 1: Actually?
Speaker 2: Tomorrow I'm the MC for a charity gala dinner for
Speaker 2: a lovely, lovely charity called Little Dreamers and what a
Speaker 2: lovely idea. So there are a lot of kids, about
Speaker 2: one in ten kids in Australia who actually their their
Speaker 2: mum or dad or a sibling is ill and they
Speaker 2: are one of the carers, so they actually have to
Speaker 2: surrender a part of their childhood. So this charity gives
Speaker 2: them days out. Oh wow, I only found about last year.
Speaker 2: My wife has done some voluntary work for them and
Speaker 2: they asked me to be a host, and I spent
Speaker 2: a couple of days last year we actually working with
Speaker 2: the meeting some of these kids and it was just
Speaker 2: such a you know when you think when you hear
Speaker 2: about a charity like backpacks of it kids and you think,
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that would be needed, and you
Speaker 2: think about kids actually who are looking after mum or
Speaker 2: dad or brother and sister and do it because they
Speaker 2: love them.
Speaker 1: But it's still a huge demand on them.
Speaker 2: So Tomorrow Night is a charity fundraiser and there's an
Speaker 2: auction as well. So anyway, I'm the host of My Night.
Speaker 2: The most awkward bit of it though, lots of lovely
Speaker 2: people at the Crown that they donate prizes nine of
Speaker 2: the auction. One of the prizes is come watch this
Speaker 2: show only. I'm hosting the auction to be graded financially
Speaker 2: in front of a room for a couple bunch of people.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be my ego might be in a worse
Speaker 2: state than your liver. On Monday Reel Christian O'Connell show,
Speaker 2: go on podcast Time Now for double thumbs up. This
Speaker 2: is where we go around the team. We talk about
Speaker 2: the things we're into the moment. There might be a
Speaker 2: TV show that you hear us talking about that you
Speaker 2: want to watch this weekend. If there's anything you're into
Speaker 2: at the moment, books, TV's, movies, whatever it is, share
Speaker 2: it with us. Oh four seven five three, one oh
Speaker 2: four three. Now, yesterday I was talking about this and
Speaker 2: I love this movie so much. You're going to think
Speaker 2: this is strange, guys. I went from a movie I
Speaker 2: saw on Netflix two days ago yesterday evening strange day yesterday.
Speaker 2: I went to the middle of the movie and watched
Speaker 2: it again, straight into the heart and the guts of it.
Speaker 2: My wife went, what are you doing. I need to
Speaker 2: process some stuff. I need to be with the nonners.
Speaker 2: The nonnas helped me in a loving space, giving.
Speaker 1: Me a warm embrace.
Speaker 2: You must have been balling, balling, sobbing. My wife was
Speaker 2: doing work and she said.
Speaker 1: You write down there here sobbing. Oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's good to get all this stuff out. It's just good.
Speaker 1: And the nonnas were there for me. Nonis. It's on Netflix.
Speaker 2: It just dropped last week Vince Vaughan and with a
Speaker 2: cast of the cast is so great and it's a
Speaker 2: true story about a guy who lost his Italian mum
Speaker 2: and alviously, like a lot of Italian families and a
Speaker 2: lot of families, it's not unique to Italian, but it's
Speaker 2: definitely a big part of Italian culture, so with Greek
Speaker 2: as well, and many cultures. How they food is how
Speaker 2: people express love for their family and friends. It's how
Speaker 2: they look after each other. And I think in the
Speaker 2: first five minutes there's a line about you know, at
Speaker 2: the funeral, you need to feed your grief, and actually
Speaker 2: the movie goes on, they're not just feeding grief, they're
Speaker 2: feeding joy connection, what it is to belong and actually
Speaker 2: it's a real privilege of being alive is having a
Speaker 2: meal with family and friends. It's not about being at
Speaker 2: fancy restaurant. It can be a barbecue, it can be
Speaker 2: a snag, it can be a burger. This movie I
Speaker 2: cannot recommend it enough, no matter what you've got going
Speaker 2: on in your life this weekend. I promise you if
Speaker 2: you've set aside two hours to watch Nonas.
Speaker 1: It will change you.
Speaker 2: It opens up your heart and it's not a sugary,
Speaker 2: sort of schmaltzy way. It's actually a very human, tender
Speaker 2: movie that isn't a downer.
Speaker 1: It's so joyous. The tears are crist yesterday.
Speaker 2: Actually tears of joy and of feeling what it is
Speaker 2: to be alive. There's so much loss in a life
Speaker 2: as well, but also so much connection and joy. It's
Speaker 2: a very I don't know how they've done it, but
Speaker 2: it's a surprisingly layered movie that won't get any rave reviews,
Speaker 2: it won't get nominated for Oscars, but actually gave me
Speaker 2: more joy and meaning than any movie I've.
Speaker 1: Seen in the last couple of years has had like
Speaker 1: five stars. Of you.
Speaker 5: It's so understated, isn't Yeah, So like if you you
Speaker 5: will leave that movie thinking about I was thinking about
Speaker 5: my mom for the next two hours after.
Speaker 2: And family and life and friends, and I don't know
Speaker 2: just changed, how it just changed. It gives you an
Speaker 2: attitude readjustment, and my god, it's just it just it
Speaker 2: just makes your heart glow. And I realized yesterday on
Speaker 2: my second viewing of Nona's and forty eight Hours that
Speaker 2: two of the three honors. One of the nonners is
Speaker 2: Lorraine Bracker, who is Dr Melfi in The Sopranos. She
Speaker 2: was Tony Soprano's therapist, the other Nonna, the former Nun.
Speaker 2: She was Adrian in The Rocky Room. And I'm so
Speaker 2: Connie in the Godfather trilogy.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: They call them a murderer's road, doesn't eve they really are.
Speaker 2: There's the cast and.
Speaker 1: Susan Sarandon is amazing as well. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: You know sometimes you see someone and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're going to get resurgence.
Speaker 1: Now, you're going to get so much you remind me
Speaker 1: more like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you realize there's a whole load of these
Speaker 2: actresses that are around who actually just get cast aside,
Speaker 2: or they get a small role as some hollowed out
Speaker 2: human being. It actually made them front and center. It's
Speaker 2: a Vinci More movie. But the three nonners and those actresses,
Speaker 2: they are the movie.
Speaker 1: That's.
Speaker 5: As you get old being discarded, especially as a woman,
Speaker 5: especially as a woman and in different.
Speaker 2: Men in Hollywood, you look at like Kevin Coston. You
Speaker 2: look at those women like I haven't seen a lot
Speaker 2: of them in movies now ever, actually in the last
Speaker 2: twenty or thirties.
Speaker 1: They're so good. Yes, they're so good.
Speaker 2: They're so funny, and they're real and they've obviously been
Speaker 2: through a life.
Speaker 1: You can see it in them. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I cannot recommend none as enough. I just absolutely loved
Speaker 2: it so much, so I went back the next night
Speaker 2: and watched it again. But from the second half, when
Speaker 2: you really.
Speaker 5: Don't do that, I can recommend don't do that unless
Speaker 5: you want to keep sobbing or not.
Speaker 2: And then at a very different end of the scale,
Speaker 2: I went to the cinema last Friday. Nothing better than
Speaker 2: going sometimes alone to the cinema because you don't need
Speaker 2: to worry are they having a good time?
Speaker 1: Are they having a good time?
Speaker 2: Especially because the movie I went to see there's a
Speaker 2: reason why I had to go along because my family
Speaker 2: did not want to go with me.
Speaker 1: The accountant to now.
Speaker 2: I only saw the first one on the flight back
Speaker 2: from the UK when we're about to see my my
Speaker 2: dad over Eastern and.
Speaker 1: I loved it. It's a great action movie, Ben Affleck.
Speaker 2: And so the second one came out and I went
Speaker 2: to see it at two o'clock in the afternoon last Friday,
Speaker 2: and it was me.
Speaker 1: And if you go to the cinema during the.
Speaker 2: Day, how can I politely describe the other people that
Speaker 2: were in the cinema? My colleagues were day walkers. I
Speaker 2: don't even think they were ever young. You know anything
Speaker 2: you've existed eternally like this, shufflers, confused.
Speaker 1: Zombies and there was only I.
Speaker 2: Did a head count eight of us, eight of us,
Speaker 2: and I just thought I'd just sit anywhere.
Speaker 1: Ohd couple coming to me, You're sat in our seat,
Speaker 1: and I would.
Speaker 2: Thinking, on this is we're really doing this?
Speaker 1: It's empty? Pick a seat and I went, yep, I
Speaker 1: must be seting this seat.
Speaker 2: But great action movie. Accountant To is really good. Patsy,
Speaker 2: what are you into? What are you giving your double
Speaker 2: thumbs too?
Speaker 4: A couple of Netflix things. I love everything about the Titanic.
Speaker 4: I've always been absolutely fascinated bed.
Speaker 2: Last disaster, don't you that's why you went into I
Speaker 2: bet you're so upset you on on air the day
Speaker 2: that that's sunk. And we should do a power rankings
Speaker 2: of stories of perats of where you've been alive for.
Speaker 4: Hilarious so funny sashed stop it anyway, this is a
Speaker 4: national g sprets. This is a national geographic doggo and
Speaker 4: it's brilliant. It's called the Digital Resurrection. They've got a
Speaker 4: panel of experts.
Speaker 1: Snappy title in it.
Speaker 2: Huh, because if they're gone with the analog Resurrection, I'm
Speaker 2: not watching the digital you say.
Speaker 1: In streaming the Titanic.
Speaker 4: They're using all the latest technology to examine the actual
Speaker 4: ship sinking and all the theories of how it broke up,
Speaker 4: how it fell to the bottom of the sea bed,
Speaker 4: and just trying to prove eyewitness accounts from survivors of
Speaker 4: what actually happened.
Speaker 1: Iceberg wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But you know what Apple, and how much part
Speaker 3: of the ship?
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you into?
Speaker 2: Just asked upon Chris scrap.
Speaker 3: But they've got this enorm It was I that.
Speaker 1: Did it give it away?
Speaker 2: We get complaints now for mister Wolf, I was going
Speaker 2: to watch that Titanic movie.
Speaker 4: What is most impressive is they've got a life sized
Speaker 4: screen of the actual wreck and it's like these experts
Speaker 4: actually walk over the top of the wreck is you know,
Speaker 4: and zoom in on it. It's absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was great. That's on Netflix. And the other thing,
Speaker 4: Season three of Love on the Spectrum.
Speaker 3: We've started watching.
Speaker 4: This is the best feel good show you will, I guarantee,
Speaker 4: ever see on stream.
Speaker 3: It's so pure, it is so beautiful.
Speaker 4: It's the story of people on the autism spectrum and
Speaker 4: finding love and moving through life, and it's it's just
Speaker 4: absolutely gorgeous and we cry. Every told me to watch it,
Speaker 4: and I think, why do we watch this? It just
Speaker 4: makes us cry, but it leaves you feeling warm in
Speaker 4: the heart. Is absolutely beautiful. Season three the latest season
Speaker 4: on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Great. Well, take a break, we'll come back. The Christian
Speaker 1: O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Had a message from someone who wants to remain anonymous Christian.
Speaker 2: Do you still recommend nonas the movie that you've all
Speaker 2: loved on Netflix this week? For someone who has cried
Speaker 2: every day for two weeks after a breakup, Please keep.
Speaker 1: Me and on a noon.
Speaker 2: First of all, I'm sorry, all of our hearts go
Speaker 2: out to you. We've all been there. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1: Actually I do. I tell you why.
Speaker 2: Everything I said ten minutes ago is that it will
Speaker 2: sometimes when you're going through something like that, it gets
Speaker 2: stuck in you and actually you struggle to get in
Speaker 2: contact with what you're really feeding.
Speaker 1: There's that the thing under the thing, and it's hard.
Speaker 2: Actually, sometimes words have a limit to their power, or yeah,
Speaker 2: you lose contact or something. There's a reason why, and
Speaker 2: I can't go into it here, it's not right. There's
Speaker 2: a reason why I watched it again last night, straight
Speaker 2: into the second half of it. I wanted to get
Speaker 2: something moving that I was struggling to talk about. So actually, Anon,
Speaker 2: I think it's exactly what you need your meat where
Speaker 2: you are right now, and it will move through you
Speaker 2: and it will open up hopefully into something else as well.
Speaker 2: So it's not going to get rid of what you're
Speaker 2: going through with your breakup. But also you'll find that
Speaker 2: you're just widened to what's also there. So they'll probably
Speaker 2: be your the loss, whatever you're processing with the grief
Speaker 2: of breaking up the relationship, howe long you be together,
Speaker 2: but they'll also be you'll give yourself a bit more
Speaker 2: breathing space, it would expand into something else, like there's
Speaker 2: always there sometimes just outside of view is there's always
Speaker 2: joy as well as the sadness sometimes in life. So Anon,
Speaker 2: I do recommend it. I'm not a doctor, but I
Speaker 2: say this doctor Christian says, I recommend a hearty to
Speaker 2: adducts of nonors, boxer tissues out theready, some cano, a
Speaker 2: glass of sanchio face as well toast. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of toasting.
Speaker 1: Rio. What are you into this week? What you enjoyed?
Speaker 1: What's your double thumbs?
Speaker 5: You gave me the challenge last week. You gave me
Speaker 5: fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: You watched Jenni Thieves two Pantira.
Speaker 5: You said, if it is good, you have to give
Speaker 5: me the fifty dollars back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you don't love it.
Speaker 2: Because I was so happy, I'll put my money on
Speaker 2: den of Thieves with Gerard Butler. If you don't like it,
Speaker 2: keep the money. But I actually said, take my money.
Speaker 2: I'll put money on it that you would enjoy. It's
Speaker 2: the fifty coming to me.
Speaker 5: I thought, this is going to be the easiest fifty
Speaker 5: dollars a month. Because Christ's hit rate for some of
Speaker 5: these movies is extraord I realized that.
Speaker 2: So really, if I came in hot saying that I
Speaker 2: love Denne Thieves write so much, one of the best
Speaker 2: action movies I've seen in a couple of years you
Speaker 2: were like, here we go again. It's rubbish, but for grudgingly.
Speaker 1: How it shouldn't be that good. But it's so good.
Speaker 5: It's so silly, but it's also so exhilarating and and
Speaker 5: it's like a bromance in it. It's got the butler
Speaker 5: in a club on drugs. Its got everything you can
Speaker 5: possibly want in a movie.
Speaker 1: I have to keep.
Speaker 2: It's great, and it's till off hours, which is a
Speaker 2: long time for an action movie, but it just sufis it.
Speaker 5: It rests, But it's a great Friday.
Speaker 1: I tell you what.
Speaker 2: The high scene is one of the best high scenes,
Speaker 2: and then the shootout in car chase after that is incredible.
Speaker 5: The last forty minutes is cinema, Yeah, cinema yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's why it's the love of watching movies as well.
Speaker 1: So what's that fifty? Well, give it? I got to
Speaker 1: give it back.
Speaker 2: No, I like you to keep it, and now go
Speaker 2: back and watch the original.
Speaker 1: Oh deal, deal, it's.
Speaker 2: Not the way you meant to do it, too, then
Speaker 2: that's the way I like to do it.
Speaker 1: So go back now.
Speaker 2: This weekend, the ogdenalthees the fact it could be your
Speaker 2: hangover watch on Sunday
