Speaker 1: Good Morning, Pats Money coome on in Rio, Good Morning,
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Alex.
Speaker 4: Morning, morning morning.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this week's double thumbs Up.
Speaker 1: This is where at the start of Friday's show we
Speaker 1: have you covered on a Friday and I'll it's like
Speaker 1: you're always trying to work out what TV show out
Speaker 1: of the thousands to stream right now every movie you
Speaker 1: ever made. There's too much choice. We cut through that.
Speaker 1: We go around the team. What are we enjoying at
Speaker 1: the moment. It might be a new favorite TV show
Speaker 1: for you. We call it double thumbs up. Patsy, what
Speaker 1: have you been into?
Speaker 5: Yes, started watching Kylie, which has just dropped this week
Speaker 5: on Netflix. It's a three part series of Kylie Minogue
Speaker 5: and essentially her rise to stardom. And it's very raw,
Speaker 5: it's very honest, and she starts out from her early
Speaker 5: days as a young girl rising up through the acting ranks,
Speaker 5: and also you know her massive burst of stardom in
Speaker 5: the UK.
Speaker 1: And huge in the UK.
Speaker 4: Yes, and it is.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic, the incredible life story as well.
Speaker 5: Amazing my story. So Jason Donovan is on it. Gosh,
Speaker 5: he's likable, he's I've fallen.
Speaker 1: In love with him a couple of times. That funny guy.
Speaker 6: Oh, he is hilarious.
Speaker 7: In this.
Speaker 5: He tells a story about how they went to an
Speaker 5: n Excess concert in Sydney. There was him and Kylie
Speaker 5: and they met Michael behind, you know, backstage.
Speaker 1: And said she forget that she went out with him?
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, and he said there was something off in
Speaker 5: their relationship because they dated for a long time. He said,
Speaker 5: I knew there was something not right anyway. So Michael
Speaker 5: said come to the after party. You've got to come.
Speaker 5: So it's quite funny how he described it, how the
Speaker 5: band all got in to this big, long stretch limo
Speaker 5: after this amazing concert and he said, I had this
Speaker 5: little banged up Ford Fiesta and Colie and I have
Speaker 5: got on it. It was really funny, Nick Cave, isn't
Speaker 5: it as well? Look, it is brilliant and it's very,
Speaker 5: very honest. And the most startling thing for me at
Speaker 5: the end of the third episode was how she reveals
Speaker 5: that she was diagnosed for a second time with breast
Speaker 5: in two thousand and one and she's okay now, but
Speaker 5: you know, going through that and it's obviously very traumatic
Speaker 5: for her. But I think what this will do is
Speaker 5: like we did and also with Delta when she went
Speaker 5: through her cancer battle, is it raises awareness. So it's
Speaker 5: so brilliant of her to share that because it's obviously
Speaker 5: deeply personal and very traumatic and you know, the rates
Speaker 5: of mammograms after just the first time was phenomenal. In Australia,
Speaker 5: overall screening bookings rose forty in the two weeks.
Speaker 6: Took awak publicity yep.
Speaker 5: So look, Risk Cancer Network Australia is your go to ladies.
Speaker 5: Have a look on the website, any information, they'll show
Speaker 5: you local screening.
Speaker 1: They are an amazing organization, so well run. They do
Speaker 1: such great work.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look there is a helpline number one eight
Speaker 5: hundred five hundred two five eight, but look them up
Speaker 5: on the web.
Speaker 6: And do have a look at Kylie. I think you're
Speaker 6: thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaker 1: It's our show to watch this weekend. So I'm glad
Speaker 1: it's cood.
Speaker 5: The Michael Hutchins relationship, I can't help but feel that
Speaker 5: he was her soulmate. And she said, I've been searching
Speaker 5: for a love like it since and it's actually quite sad.
Speaker 1: Because the whole story him and her and then obviously
Speaker 1: what happened to him as well to heartbreak in love affairs.
Speaker 5: And you can tell she just lights up when she
Speaker 5: talks about Michael. So yeah, it's great, great flix.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell's show. We're going around the team. You can
Speaker 1: share yours as well. We call it double thumbs up,
Speaker 1: basically your recommendations. What are you really enjoying at the moment. Yes,
Speaker 1: we can go and google, it takes too long. We
Speaker 1: still love recommendation. Even when I'm shopping, I always have
Speaker 1: a peek in other people's baskets.
Speaker 4: Recommend stiff, there's.
Speaker 1: Something I didn't know about. I've not tried that flavor
Speaker 1: of arnets. Thank you stranger for me this week. Then
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things. We watched the last episode
Speaker 1: of The Brilliant eight Party on Netflix starring Steve Coogan,
Speaker 1: the first thing he's ever done for Netflix, serious role,
Speaker 1: brilliant drama. True story is called Legends. Cannot recommend that enough.
Speaker 1: You will tear through it over the weekend. Really really good,
Speaker 1: real life story set in the nineties. The other documentary
Speaker 1: if you love a sports documentary and I do part
Speaker 1: of the Untold Stories, which is a very good series
Speaker 1: on Netflix, is The Miracle of Istanbul. It's the extraordinary
Speaker 1: comeback story, probably one of the greatest ones in the
Speaker 1: Champions League of Liverpool in two thousand and five. Three
Speaker 1: kneel down at halftime. All the players admit they were
Speaker 1: in a really average team that year and they just
Speaker 1: thought this is going to be We're going to go
Speaker 1: down a history as the biggest loss this club's ever
Speaker 1: had in a European final, and they came back and
Speaker 1: won it. It's an unbelievable story of sports. The best
Speaker 1: sports stories are overcoming the os when you're really down.
Speaker 1: It's the underdog story and it's so well told. The
Speaker 1: Liverpool I always have a soft spot for Liverpool. Sarah
Speaker 1: and I my second of a breakfast show that was
Speaker 1: hired to do. We moved from down South to Liverpool.
Speaker 1: It's a great city, very very funny people, and they
Speaker 1: are really funny on this documentary as well. Just a
Speaker 1: different time as well, a two thousand and five when
Speaker 1: you were if you won a game, the coach told
Speaker 1: them that if anyone got in before four am, you
Speaker 1: would not be playing in the next game. You imagine
Speaker 1: now there's just for obvious reasons that is not This
Speaker 1: is when they're trying to make it to the highest stage.
Speaker 1: They're in the Champions League final. If anyone comes in
Speaker 1: before four am, you're not playing. But anyway, it's a
Speaker 1: great documentary, really well made. And then the one thing
Speaker 1: we're all watching as a family and really enjoying it
Speaker 1: is the right edge of terrifying as well. It's not
Speaker 1: out and out horror. It's called Widows Bay. New TV
Speaker 1: show is getting a lot of hype on and rightly
Speaker 1: so on Apple TV with Matthew Reese. If you saw
Speaker 1: The Americans, he's the co star that that is outstanding,
Speaker 1: really really good fun rio.
Speaker 4: What is it for you?
Speaker 1: What are you enjoying?
Speaker 4: I've just finished watching the Roast of Kevin Hart.
Speaker 1: On not for the not for the If you're easy offended,
Speaker 1: don't watch it.
Speaker 4: Even me, I'm very much not easily offended. Some of
Speaker 4: the things that were said shocked.
Speaker 1: I rarely get shocked at stand up. But that again,
Speaker 1: anything Ricky Juace episode or even Jimmy car not just
Speaker 1: that they all just have to it up.
Speaker 4: I just have to the camera.
Speaker 1: There's no way you're laughing all that stuff being said
Speaker 1: about your life.
Speaker 4: The most personal, horrible things said to you, and this
Speaker 4: camera zooms in on your face. And these celebrities, which
Speaker 4: is funny.
Speaker 1: And it's half it's half of someone because of all
Speaker 1: the botox and phyllers, the faces that they're going to crack.
Speaker 4: It's like nothing I've ever seen watching for the Sheer Spectacle.
Speaker 1: And who is your favorite comedian up the Hinchcliff or no, he.
Speaker 4: Started kind of rus me the wrong way Underwood.
Speaker 1: Very really, it's incredible.
Speaker 4: I thought I'll tell you the bits to skip over.
Speaker 4: Skip over Tom Brady, my lord, that was crucial reading.
Speaker 1: Also, you know, you know what comedy mate, You're a gobo.
Speaker 1: Stany Lane is like a robot.
Speaker 4: I don't know why they're wheeling out with the most reading.
Speaker 1: Off jokes that he doesn't really understand that he's reading
Speaker 1: off an auto.
Speaker 4: He doesn't know what he's saying.
Speaker 1: He's got no idea how it works.
Speaker 4: Stand up, They give him like twelve minutes. Yeah, just
Speaker 4: skip past that. Cher Underwood's incredible, Shane Giller's great.
Speaker 1: Host, and get us. I thought it was brilliant Shore.
Speaker 4: At the start. That song I thought was really funny. Yes,
Speaker 4: Lizza was brilliant. It's a roller coaster, a lot of highs,
Speaker 4: a lot of lows, but there's just not TV.
Speaker 1: If you want to be shocked, and I think it's
Speaker 1: actually good these days to still be shocked, that that
Speaker 1: will do it for you.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, it will. It will shock. There's no person
Speaker 4: on earth that won't be shocked by some of them.
Speaker 1: Person I think is genuinely having a good time. I
Speaker 1: think he always is because he's got so much money
Speaker 1: as Kevin Hart, I think insisting of money I got
Speaker 1: for this deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to say horrible things to me
Speaker 4: for billions of dollars, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a fair deal.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: So that's on Netflix. The Roast of Kevin Hart.
Speaker 3: Correct Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: That's an injuredant opinion on something. My wife and I've
Speaker 1: come to an agreement about tomorrow, so our twenty eighth
Speaker 1: wedding anniversary. It's a long time to be with somebody
Speaker 1: been through a lot, thank you.
Speaker 4: We haven't made it yet because.
Speaker 1: I'm a real player. Anyway, we've come to agreement not
Speaker 1: to get each other a gift.
Speaker 6: Oh no, that's going to backfire.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. No, no, no, no, no, she's
Speaker 1: really got me nothing. No, no, I know she ain't
Speaker 1: that good an actress. And also that's every year for
Speaker 1: the lost twenty eight years. In any relationship, there's always
Speaker 1: someone that likes getting gifts. I love goeing to gives.
Speaker 1: My wife claims that she gets so nervous at thinking
Speaker 1: about getting to get gift. She just won't get someone gift.
Speaker 6: Oh she overthinks it, well does she under thinking it?
Speaker 1: Anyway, yesterday I was picking up some takeaway pizzas for
Speaker 1: us and it was opposite wilds. I've not been to before.
Speaker 1: I'll get the get the anniversary card. I'll get the
Speaker 1: anniversary card. This story gets worse. I go in there
Speaker 1: and I said, old lady, you got any cards in here?
Speaker 1: And she goes, what did I want? Went an anniversary card?
Speaker 1: She spied me to take away pizza boxes on my
Speaker 1: arm and I got oh, she judged me, thinking I'll
Speaker 1: just remember or I'm trying to make it up with
Speaker 1: a pizza. Yeah, twenty eight years is hot cheese. So
Speaker 1: I say to her, don't worry, it's Saturday. That she
Speaker 1: shoots a look at her assistant like, wait, this guy's
Speaker 1: got two days, three days, Yesterday, Thursday, and he thinks
Speaker 1: that this is the play. Don't worry, don't Oh, there's
Speaker 1: a wall. What's over there? I'll go get And they're
Speaker 1: well known for having a big range of anniversary cards.
Speaker 1: The only one, the only one in there for an
Speaker 1: anniversary was one simply from the man's perspective, and it
Speaker 1: said I'm not too good at words and emotions, but
Speaker 1: my wife will know. Well, you are book coming out.
Speaker 1: This is number five. Where you got this card from?
Speaker 1: Whose card have you stolen?
Speaker 5: Perhaps a nice letter, that's what you need to do,
Speaker 5: and definitely buy her something like of course she wants something.
Speaker 5: Twenty eight years in Christian years is like dog years.
Speaker 5: It's like, excuse me by seven living with you?

Speaker 6: The middle of the drive.
Speaker 1: What we do with all the stones?
Speaker 5: Putting it over the garden beds instead of mulch because
Speaker 5: the birds were getting in the mulch and digging it
Speaker 5: everywhere and it fades after a while.
Speaker 6: So a lot of the neighbors have got stones.
Speaker 5: They look quite nice, so we thought, oh yeah, we

Speaker 1: Patsy a warning for you this weekend about the rocks.
Speaker 6: Oh what's there?
Speaker 1: Christian? Pats has got a life of lifting and washing
Speaker 1: those rocks unless they are sealed. I have friends that
Speaker 1: had these, and their weekends are lost to lifting and
Speaker 1: washing them every few months, or they turned green and
Speaker 1: sliney like a kind of snot or booger consistency. Patsy
Speaker 1: will not like that. The highest hyacinth bouquet of the show.
Speaker 5: What am I meant to individually wash its rocks?
Speaker 6: Oh that's my husband? Is that my husband?
Speaker 1: I can imagine Monday Chris's line flats out. He put
Speaker 1: his back out lifting and wash is a young man's game.
Speaker 6: Can you please right back and tell me what I
Speaker 6: meant to seal?

Speaker 1: Chris? Can you get back to me? Christian? When you
Speaker 1: said your wife was fine for you to spend four
Speaker 1: hours on your anniversary tomorrow doing your audiobook? Did you
Speaker 1: say it was okay or it was fine? Because, my friend,
Speaker 1: those are very different answers. You don't want her to
Speaker 1: say it's fine, otherwise that means you really should be
Speaker 1: getting a gift. What was it? I k or five? No,
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine, It's fine. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I thought? Actually I thought the other day, I thought,
Speaker 1: you want me quite a nice thing to do to
Speaker 1: write down some of the things I've learned from twenty
Speaker 1: eight years of marriage. I got to one thing right,
Speaker 1: and I put aside an hour and I couldn't think
Speaker 1: of anything else. I'd actually knows so sad. It's so

Speaker 1: back of the car, so when she goes and buying

Speaker 1: she's just picking up the dry cleaning. That is brilliant,
Speaker 1: That is genius. Got the level of ingenuity to play

Speaker 14: took it and I popped it in the bin on

Speaker 7: Oh about fifteen years ago, I used to teach English

Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 15: Anyway, we're sitting in the front row with this big arena,
Speaker 15: and all the bulls came out, and then they had
Speaker 15: the horses, because the horses are a bit more flighty,
Speaker 15: to give a bit more experience. Anyway, this cowboy is
Speaker 15: riding this horse, and all of a sudden he comes
Speaker 15: past us, and the horse gave one big buck. He
Speaker 15: fell off, got flew through the air, and he landed
Speaker 15: on my lap.
Speaker 7: And a few Japanese kids left.

Speaker 11: I've got a catch story.
Speaker 1: Yes, off you go. I'm loving these stories today. Off
Speaker 1: you go. Test.
Speaker 11: So I was about eight years old and our whole
Speaker 11: family went to Bali for a holiday and we went
Speaker 11: to one of those massive water slide parks and my
Speaker 11: younger brother was adamant that he really wanted to go
Speaker 11: on like the largest slide that they possibly had, and
Speaker 11: so it was this huge fine but the water at
Speaker 11: the end was quite deep, but he wanted to go.
Speaker 11: So my mom said to my dad, I'll take the
Speaker 11: kids up and i'll send tests down first, and then
Speaker 11: when you see tests come out, you hop in the
Speaker 11: water at the end and you can catch my younger
Speaker 11: brother when he comes out. And so we said, okay, fine.
Speaker 11: We went up to ten thousand steps all the way
Speaker 11: to go up there, and my dad's going, okay, I'll
Speaker 11: just hang out on the side of the pool, and
Speaker 11: so we get up to the very top and my
Speaker 11: youngest brother gets cold feet, and so there's this huge
Speaker 11: line of people behind us. So my mum's getting a
Speaker 11: bit flustered and you're thinking, I don't want to do
Speaker 11: and she's trying to talk him into doing it, and
Speaker 11: he's getting more and more upset. And so there's this
Speaker 11: massive seventeen year old boy that kind of would probably
Speaker 11: be one hundred and twenty kilos behind us, and she goes,
Speaker 11: you just go go, just go go, and I'll talk
Speaker 11: to him. So he sends this kid down and so
Speaker 11: then Lee's father, he's at the end, and this port
Speaker 11: aten year old boy comes barely out the end of
Speaker 11: the water slide and there's this four year old Italian
Speaker 11: man at the end.
Speaker 16: Come then my mom and I and my brother come
Speaker 16: kind of slowly swishing down, and it's kind of thirty
Speaker 16: minutes later with this very cool, like shy look sheep.
Speaker 11: You look at her face, and my father's.
Speaker 1: Just so murderous.
Speaker 4: It's a common thing in this story.
Speaker 1: Isn't it. Yeah, Test, thank you very much your story.
