Speaker 3: what's it for you this week?
Speaker 4: Look?
Speaker 5: I will touch on the fourth Bridget Jones installment again,
Speaker 5: Mad About the Boy. This was utterly sensational. I loved
Speaker 5: every bit about it.
Speaker 3: We massive this weekends excited about it.
Speaker 5: Well cry, you will laugh, you will mostly cry. But
Speaker 5: in a beautiful way. How they have stitched Colin Firth's character,
Speaker 5: weaved it in and out of the storyline is just
Speaker 5: so beautiful, and there's so much deep, meaningful sort of
Speaker 5: moments in the plot. I heard someone talking reviewing about
Speaker 5: it a couple of days ago, saying, oh, you know,
Speaker 5: it wasn't the best Bridget Jones I've seen. You've missed
Speaker 5: the point it completely. It encapsulates the whole trilogy.
Speaker 3: I want more of this. You like this Tomorrow might
Speaker 3: come along. Men, welcome the critics credit.
Speaker 5: I even doubt, I even doubt that this person watched it,
Speaker 5: because you haven't got trash them if you seriously, did
Speaker 5: you even watch it?
Speaker 3: Have you even seen It's called projection? She's pointing at me.
Speaker 4: It hasn't even seen it yet.
Speaker 5: So Bridget and all the friendship group. You know, you
Speaker 5: see them up there. It's what is it, nearly twenty
Speaker 5: five years since the first one. Yes, they look older,
Speaker 5: we all age, But you know what I loved about it.
Speaker 5: I thought I looked at them and I thought, you, yeah,
Speaker 5: they're older. But I feel like I've aged with these characters.
Speaker 3: A lovely way to see it. And those first movies
Speaker 3: were so funny.
Speaker 5: And I've aged with them and they're just their lives
Speaker 5: are so rich, and the friendship's even stronger. And there's
Speaker 5: a beautiful moment and I won't it's not a spoiler alert.
Speaker 5: I won't tell you, but there's a white hour and
Speaker 5: the significance of the white owl is just well, I.
Speaker 3: Think we can work out. I got a lot of
Speaker 3: emails complaining about your spoilering it this week. By the way,
Speaker 3: all women furious.
Speaker 4: The movie.
Speaker 3: So to stop me.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid you're even talking about the will come out again.
Speaker 3: And also, it's not spoiling it, but there's a white
Speaker 3: own that you will.
Speaker 4: Kid, no, no, no.
Speaker 5: When you see the white owl, it is just like
Speaker 5: at the.
Speaker 3: End of Gematic Trick.
Speaker 5: It was like a light bulb moment and I leant
Speaker 5: over to Audrey, and I said, oh my god, now
Speaker 5: I know who the owl was and A and Audrey
Speaker 5: was crying and I was crying. And there's a really
Speaker 5: tender moment with with Bridget's dad and it.
Speaker 3: Just you know, oh, he's so good, Jim brilliant actor.
Speaker 5: And this got me going sort of at the start
Speaker 5: of the film because I saw him and I thought
Speaker 5: of my dad, and I looked and I thought, oh god.
Speaker 5: You know, life is short and the movie is all
Speaker 5: about live your life. Don't waste a single moment. And
Speaker 5: he says to her, Bridget, I want you to live
Speaker 5: your life.
Speaker 3: You know what you talked about it yesterday, So well
Speaker 3: I went and I'm surprised at my wife. We're going
Speaker 3: to go and see it Sunday afternoon. Yeah. Now, I
Speaker 3: actually went online after you talked about this on the show,
Speaker 3: so well, methink, I wonder if it isn't it sounds
Speaker 3: really good. All the reviews were saying they've done the impossible.
Speaker 3: This is actually a really profound movie. And again, when
Speaker 3: they get those movies right, it's the perfect mix of
Speaker 3: heart and laughs.
Speaker 1: I could not know.
Speaker 3: Then she brought tickets and life and off the back
Speaker 3: of you scenes so deep, and she's fifty one, she's
Speaker 3: our age now exactly.
Speaker 5: And you touched on we're still talking about this about
Speaker 5: the illegitimate child, and I said, no, I don't think so,
Speaker 5: and then on the way home, Yester, oh yeah, actually
Speaker 5: there was.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: It's a love child, the love bird. If you grow
Speaker 3: it is a love child.
Speaker 5: Yes, but you'll see when you.
Speaker 3: Say this.
Speaker 4: Going.
Speaker 3: I think this is the white owl moment.
Speaker 5: Child you will you will take all right.
Speaker 3: I am really looking forward to seeing it.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 3: Podcast, Jackie boy, what are you enjoying this week?
Speaker 1: I've got a new app to rival my chess addiction
Speaker 1: and it's better. You know how word All kind of
Speaker 1: invented this idea of one clue and one puzzle per day.
Speaker 3: I still got friends of mine doing word All love it.
Speaker 1: The good thing about that is it means you can't
Speaker 1: get addicted to it and spend like I do, more
Speaker 1: than an hour on chess every day when it all
Speaker 1: adds up. This one is the same thing, one puzzle
Speaker 1: per day. It's called minute Cryptic. Now you know I
Speaker 1: love my cryptic crosswords. This is an Australian guy who
Speaker 1: started this so it gives you one cryptic crossword clue per.
Speaker 3: Day, and then oh, I see you're building up as
Speaker 3: you go along installments.
Speaker 1: You're not even making a full grid, so you're just
Speaker 1: doing one clue a day, and then you'll give you
Speaker 1: a brand new one the next day and you get
Speaker 1: multiple guesses. So even if you're brand new to cryptics,
Speaker 1: like you can have a go and you will say
Speaker 1: if you've got letters in the right spot kind of
Speaker 1: like word or then if you're interested in making if
Speaker 1: you're interested in how to do cryptic crosswords, because a
Speaker 1: lot of people see cryptics and just go this is
Speaker 1: too hard. I don't understand what's going on at the
Speaker 1: end of each day. He's got a little ninety second
Speaker 1: video where he explains how the clue works and what
Speaker 1: each part of the cryptic crossword means.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's a challenge. Yeah, use this time. I want
Speaker 3: some cryptic daily clues next week your own cryptic people listeners. No,
Speaker 3: Jennie would love this. What everyone wants some sort of
Speaker 3: mental easy, quick workout during their day. Now, it's good
Speaker 3: for our mental capacity, isn't It's like a muscle, Use
Speaker 3: it or lose it.
Speaker 4: I would love it. Yes, Now what just level do
Speaker 4: you want them?
Speaker 3: I'm talking more for my sound fair media. I can't
Speaker 3: do cryptics. I always do that. There's that sort of
Speaker 3: tea time sort of level. They call it T time
Speaker 3: teaser section.
Speaker 1: Yes, medium, I would love to make cryptics for the
Speaker 1: time starting Monday.
Speaker 3: People will love this. Okay, two things that I'm into
Speaker 3: this week. First one, I didn't know about this Australian
Speaker 3: story now become a massive show on Netflix. This is
Speaker 3: a very Australian journalist story, an incredible scandal as well.
Speaker 3: It's called Apple Cider Vinegar. Oh yeah, you guys will know.
Speaker 4: All about l Gibson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a story. Oh my god. This will go
Speaker 3: on to become mart my ways, this will be Netflix
Speaker 3: season of the year. This is this is year's this
Speaker 3: year's baby Reindeer, it is. I'm googling it the whole
Speaker 3: I'm pressing pause and I'm like, this can't be right
Speaker 3: about the two Australian the Age journalists who blew this
Speaker 3: big scandal up about a woman claiming to have cancer
Speaker 3: that didn't have cancer.
Speaker 4: It's a whole lot of money.
Speaker 3: What a huge story, So you guys must remember it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what would have been ten years ago if and.
Speaker 5: When, you know, the big expose and everyone had so
Speaker 5: much empathy for her, thinking she was genuine Well.
Speaker 3: You know what, you know what Instagram store like to
Speaker 3: this day, they're all these kind of influences and wellness.
Speaker 3: As I'm watching it, it really makes you think about
Speaker 3: what those people in that industry are projecting on you,
Speaker 3: because everyone wants something. They're looking for something online, some
Speaker 3: kind of hack or something that's going to get home. Yes,
Speaker 3: and so, oh my god, it's an amazing story, really
Speaker 3: really well told and draumatized. It's very original how they
Speaker 3: do how they're doing it as well.
Speaker 1: So what's the Apple side of vinego? Is that's something
Speaker 1: she was selling?
Speaker 3: It's a well known like it's no one of those
Speaker 3: home remedies, isn't it Apple side of vinegar? Oh? Take this,
Speaker 3: it will get you better. Take a teaspoon off it.
Speaker 1: Every day you boil that stuff.
Speaker 4: I actually.
Speaker 3: It's really good for rereshold level, but not for cats.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I think it's seeking medical help and out if you've
Speaker 3: got cancer, not Apple side of vinegar. But watch it.
Speaker 3: It is going to be this year's baby roundwork. It
Speaker 3: is so good. And the other thing. It actually kept
Speaker 3: me up late last night, so I was going to
Speaker 3: just do ten minutes of the next episode. Brilliant new
Speaker 3: documentaries just landed this week. Surviving black Hawk Down. What
Speaker 3: a real life story. This is an actual documentary with
Speaker 3: the people the military that were involved and what it
Speaker 3: just a catastrophic failure on so many ways. It's everybody involved,
Speaker 3: a helicopter, pilots on the down plane. The real life story.
Speaker 3: Obviously saw the movie, yeah you know, produced by Ridley Scott.
Speaker 3: He's made this real life account. It's all the talking
Speaker 3: heads who were there talking about it. It is an
Speaker 3: unbelievable story. And the way they do it. These men
Speaker 3: that saw so much in the trauma, and so they've
Speaker 3: got the soldiers, They've got the Delta Force guys, and
Speaker 3: then they've also got the actual Somalians who were shooting
Speaker 3: and down the plane as well, talking about it from
Speaker 3: their point of view, which I've never seen in any
Speaker 3: kind of war documentary. You only get one side, our side,
Speaker 3: don't you, the brave war heroes. You never hear the
Speaker 3: other perspective. I've never seen it before and in any
Speaker 3: kind of documentary, and it's adding a whole different layer
Speaker 3: to or understanding. I don't know a bit more of
Speaker 3: the whole story that went on, not just part of it.
Speaker 3: It's brilliant. It's called Surviving black Hawk Down. Those are
Speaker 3: my two recommendations this week for double thumbs up. News
Speaker 3: on the Way
