Speaker 1: Gold one I four point three book, Christian Connell Show
Speaker 1: Podcast Friday Morning.
Speaker 2: So Christian O'Connell Show, We're going to Double thumbs Up now.
Speaker 2: This is where we talk about the things that we've
Speaker 2: enjoyed this week. Patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 3: I have seen Countdown fifty years on on ABC I view.
Speaker 3: It is the fifty year can you believe? Half a
Speaker 3: century anniversary of Countdown? ABC sat down yesterday with the
Speaker 3: Love God and watched it. It's a ninety minute special
Speaker 3: and it just no, no, no, it's just count.
Speaker 1: Down to the end of the Countdown to death. No
Speaker 1: could be one of the youngest people watching it. It's
Speaker 1: many very old people we've passed away and the TV
Speaker 1: is still long. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You this was so iconic, this show and when we
Speaker 3: were growing up in the seventies and eighties. This is
Speaker 3: all we had, like was music. This is what formed
Speaker 3: our youth.
Speaker 4: That's the way my folks talk about Countdown. That was
Speaker 4: your entry into music and anything else. And every band
Speaker 4: who came through here went to.
Speaker 3: Massive rolling Stones like anyone who was anyone. And don't
Speaker 3: discount the role that Molly played in all of this.
Speaker 3: When Michael Jackson came out for the first time to Australia,
Speaker 3: he wouldn't speak to anyone else but Molly on Countdown.
Speaker 3: So you will love it. It is part of your childhood.
Speaker 3: And I didn't realize how much it formed part of
Speaker 3: like the video music scene as well. You know that
Speaker 3: ACDC long Way to the Top and they're on the
Speaker 3: back of the truck. That was all like Countdown instigated
Speaker 3: the show and it just formed the way of the
Speaker 3: video music clips.
Speaker 1: So you just don't get shows on that anymore.
Speaker 3: It was just it was raw and it was.
Speaker 2: The only way you saw famous people was on TV
Speaker 2: and shows aren't they.
Speaker 3: And up close in personal And it was funny when
Speaker 3: it first started. It was in black and white and
Speaker 3: apparently they looked back to find these tapes, but the
Speaker 3: ABC had taped over them. They'd reuse the real.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know there's a famous bit of Austraight and TV
Speaker 4: of the first I forget his name, but the first
Speaker 4: guy who speaks and welcomes people to Australian TV in
Speaker 4: the fifties. That is actually fake because they taped over
Speaker 4: the original one and then they got him to recreate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that. The other thing this week,
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 4: Want to give a show.
Speaker 2: Do you remember back in the down TV where they
Speaker 2: would have people like in the UK, we used to
Speaker 2: have people announcing on TV what's.
Speaker 1: What the next show was welcome to tell?
Speaker 2: We used to have a guy used to come on
Speaker 2: in a shortain time say good night and then the
Speaker 2: TV off put the country to bait.
Speaker 1: We used to get the.
Speaker 3: Test pattern and then the national anthem would play like
Speaker 3: midnight or something.
Speaker 1: We can't relate to that crazy.
Speaker 3: On this like you know, streaming where there's something always available.
Speaker 3: The other thing I do want to give a shout
Speaker 3: out to my podcast Rage Against the Menopause on the

Speaker 2: Podcast, Friday morning. We're midway through doing double Thumbs Up.
Speaker 2: We talk about the things we're into at the moment. Jack,
Speaker 2: what have you enjoyed?
Speaker 4: I got two things this week. I got to see
Speaker 4: an early screening of Better Man, which is the Robbie
Speaker 4: Williams movie, comes out Boxing day here in Australia. It
Speaker 4: is a biopic like none other and you can see
Speaker 4: it from the trailer because he is a monkey not
Speaker 4: a human. Ridiculous premise. And when I first heard it,
Speaker 4: remember we'd laught like Robbe Williams is going to make
Speaker 4: this biopick about himself, but he's a monkey instead of
Speaker 4: a human, who was like, this is the stupidest thing ever.
Speaker 4: It is the best biopic I have ever seen.
Speaker 1: What a great praise.
Speaker 4: And I really love Rocketman. I love but him in Rhapsody.
Speaker 4: This is so so good I couldn't I got home
Speaker 4: last week?
Speaker 1: Makes it good?
Speaker 2: Is it the fact that Robbie's not in it, so
Speaker 2: you're not thinking about an act of trying to play him.
Speaker 4: That's right. So it's not somebody imitating a rock starck.
Speaker 4: It's Robbie's voice the whole way through. And the monkey
Speaker 4: thing is like five minutes into it you accept he's
Speaker 4: a monkey. So I for the rest of this I
Speaker 4: know that monkey is Robbie Williams.
Speaker 1: And about his life.
Speaker 2: So going from take that to then going so story
Speaker 2: and it's amazing.
Speaker 4: Also he is. It's such a vulnerable story as well,
Speaker 4: so he's narrating it and he's the voice of the
Speaker 4: monkey of Robbie Williams. But he is not shy about
Speaker 4: all the hard and sometimes really disgusting and terrible things
Speaker 4: he did in his life. But man, it is such
Speaker 4: a great story and such and they've done the music
Speaker 4: so well better. Man, it's going to be huge.
Speaker 1: Wow. I can't wait to see it. Yeah, it's going
Speaker 1: to be on the show. And a cup of his
Speaker 1: time as well. A couple of things to me.
Speaker 2: One, thank you very much Patsy for giving me a
Speaker 2: heads up last week about the Alvis documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Watched it in one sitting last weekend. This is Elvis
Speaker 2: Presley Return. It's the Fall and Rise of the King.
Speaker 2: It is brilliant, all about the making of the Comeback Special,
Speaker 2: the six Saint Comeback Special. Brilliant documentary with great talking heads.
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved it, really good. I'm going to recommend
Speaker 2: the show. I'll be stunned if any of you watch it,
Speaker 2: but you should. It's called Murder Mindfully. This is ten
Speaker 2: out of ten brilliant funny show. It is a German
Speaker 2: comedy with subtitles. Like I said, hardly any of you
Speaker 2: are gonna watch it, but it is extremely who knew
Speaker 2: German commedy.
Speaker 4: I've heard that phrase before.
Speaker 1: I've never said the words. I couldn't believe.
Speaker 2: My wife came in when way through and me watching
Speaker 2: the first episode, because I thought I just watched it alone.
Speaker 1: It's a tough sell. She goes, are you watching something
Speaker 1: in German? It's a German comedy. Oh my god, it
Speaker 1: is brilliant, really really funny idea. What is very good.
Speaker 2: It's on Netflix is called Murder Mindfully, trust me, you'll
Speaker 2: get into it. And it is very very good. And
Speaker 2: I don't know, you guys a lot of times now
Speaker 2: and it's got subtitles on right, But most of the
Speaker 2: TV now I find out because my kids watch everything
Speaker 2: with close captions, and so yeah, I'm always I always
Speaker 2: have subtitles on there, because actually there's so many TV
Speaker 2: shows where there's so much mumbling.
Speaker 1: Whether you're like what did you say?
Speaker 2: And then another great movie I saw over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's on Amazon Prime. It's an hour and a half,
Speaker 2: perfect length for a comedy movie. It is called My
Speaker 2: Old Ass, very very funny. Aubrey Plaza is the star
Speaker 2: of it. It's so good. That is ten out of
Speaker 2: ten for me. Very funny movie, just an hour and
Speaker 2: a half. My old ass. That is on Amazon Prime.
