Speaker 2: Bill being in his mid fifties, is the best stand
Speaker 2: up he's ever done. It is incredible. It is called
Speaker 2: drop Dead Years. It's come at the right time for
Speaker 2: me because I'm fifty two on Monday and Biller's in
Speaker 2: his mid fifties. It's it's so good, and there's that
Speaker 2: there's a bit actually which is quite surprised when he
Speaker 2: actually talks about I didn't know this that he's had depression,
Speaker 2: and he talks about it in a uniquely Bill bur
Speaker 2: Way which is both really really honest and raw, but
Speaker 2: extremely funny as well, and has actually prompted a big
Speaker 2: chat between my wife and I and the daughters who've
Speaker 2: seen it as well as well. It's a brilliant, brilliant
Speaker 2: special with the grim title of drop Dead Years. Do
Speaker 2: you know, perhapsy we are in drop dead years?
Speaker 1: What does that meant?
Speaker 2: That you could just want anything, especially for especially for men.
Speaker 2: I was some of the other day and I was
Speaker 2: chatting to someone there sat really birthday soon, I said,

Speaker 2: what are you enjoying at the moment? Double thumbs up.
Speaker 3: Well, finally it's dropped the Oprah Menopause special. It's called
Speaker 3: Minopause Revolution, and it is I feel a revolution what
Speaker 3: we've got right now?
Speaker 2: Everyone, you've been a trailblazing you.
Speaker 3: I know everything's gone. He's only human, but you know,
Speaker 3: no one does it quite like Oprah. She's so brilliant,
Speaker 3: and she's got a few people up on stage, including
Speaker 3: Naomi Watt's halle Berry talking about their lived experiences as
Speaker 3: well as a panel of medical experts. And you know
Speaker 3: what's so great about it is like my podcast Rage
Speaker 3: Against the Menopause. It's just women being authentic telling it
Speaker 3: how it is. And you know, it's so interesting watching
Speaker 3: it yesterday. It's on Disney Plus. There's very similar themes
Speaker 3: to what have come up in series.
Speaker 2: One of my podcasts, What do you mean case people
Speaker 2: haven't heard? It is an outstanding podcast.
Speaker 3: It's on iHeart or wherever you get your podcasts. But
Speaker 3: common themes like they feel fobbed off by their GPS,
Speaker 3: like they're being Eurotic, They're not being listened to, no
Speaker 3: one's talking about it, They're confused about hormone replacement therapy
Speaker 3: and fear that it could lead to cancer. All you know,
Speaker 3: there's women on the other side of the globe, all
Speaker 3: around the world. We're all having the same sentiments about menopause.
Speaker 3: And I'm just so delighted that we're finally having the conversation.
Speaker 3: And who better to do it than Oprah. It's brilliance.
Speaker 3: It's on Disney Plus. It's Minopause Revolution.
Speaker 2: And my special spot. You're part of the changing the
Speaker 2: conversation really does.
Speaker 3: Feel like a revolution. It feels like change is here
Speaker 3: and yeah, like there's this big momentum. It's brilliant. So
Speaker 3: Rage against the Menopause. The second series will be dropping
Speaker 3: last week of May, so we'll be talking about that
Speaker 3: more and more.
Speaker 2: As more and more and more, just more.
Speaker 3: I mentioned that NGV yay Kausama is the new well
Speaker 3: not so new. It's sort of halfway through, but it's
Speaker 3: been so popular it's been hard to get into it
Speaker 3: the NNGV. It's She's a Japanese immersive artist and it's
Speaker 3: this current exhibition at the MGV. It's been so popular
Speaker 3: that they've extended it and they've even sort of widened
Speaker 3: the opening hours, so on the weekends it's opened the
Speaker 3: galleries open from eight am, and some nights on the weekends,
Speaker 3: like Saturday nights, it's open till midnight, just to get
Speaker 3: the volume of people through.
Speaker 1: A huge praise.
Speaker 3: Brilliant and again, like with Gordy, the gallery does it
Speaker 3: so well for all ages, beautiful girlies, so they break it.
Speaker 3: There's obviously the mainstream sort of you know, exhibitions, but
Speaker 3: then they also have a little blurb for children that
Speaker 3: simplifies so they can understand what it is they're looking
Speaker 3: at and the meaning of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I go through out galleries, I actually think
Speaker 1: I need the kids me too.
Speaker 2: Well, our crouch down and read that because the adult
Speaker 2: stuff goes over my head sometimes.
Speaker 3: But you'll get some brilliant photos for your socials.
Speaker 2: That's what my weekends, just grabbing stuff, just grabbing stuff
Speaker 2: from a socials, you know, pumping up the grams. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll take it right. We'll come back with Jack's double
Speaker 2: thumbs up. Christian Connall Show podcast, Christian O'Connell Show, Friday morning.
Speaker 2: We're doing double thumbs up. We share the things we're
Speaker 2: into at the moment. Jackie boy, what have you been enjoying.
Speaker 1: We're getting these new home delivery meals called fair Feed,
Speaker 1: and they freshly cooked meals. You might get three of
Speaker 1: them at a time and you stick them in the
Speaker 1: fridge and then you heat them up over the next
Speaker 1: few days.
Speaker 2: For young parents like you, guys. What a gift.
Speaker 1: So good.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Bianca did help me. We were getting them, but I
Speaker 1: forgot and then last night she heated one up and
Speaker 1: I came home from pilates and I'm eating it. And
Speaker 1: I thought she cooked it, and I went overboard. I
Speaker 1: was like, honestly, you are the best cooked. This is
Speaker 1: just so so good, and she's out of interest. She
Speaker 1: let me go on, so a few more bites like this,
Speaker 1: you've done yourself. This is one of the best things
Speaker 1: you've made, until she told me that this is one
Speaker 1: of those.
Speaker 2: Ready meal and you said it on the best things ever.
Speaker 1: Well, compliments done yourself. So they are brilliant fairy. I
Speaker 1: think they're a little business here in Melbourne that you
Speaker 1: order once a week. You look at them and you
Speaker 1: can order off it and they deliver it to your house.
Speaker 1: And then you know what I'm going to start doing.
Speaker 1: Because Biancle watches way more TV shows than me. I
Speaker 1: asked her last time, so do.
Speaker 2: You prefer to read in if you've got a bit
Speaker 2: of downtown, what will you do?
Speaker 1: I'll read, yeah, and I'll play chess. And because we have,
Speaker 1: we pretty much got a p a system. Now where
Speaker 1: to Gordy eats dinner. I'll give him a shower, she
Speaker 1: does the dishes, then she reads him some books and
Speaker 1: then I go and live with him now because for
Speaker 1: some whatever reason, to take her to sleep. So she
Speaker 1: watches stuff, while she's.
Speaker 2: Do you get nervous about bedtimes?
Speaker 1: No, I'd like hanging out in there with him, especially
Speaker 1: because she gets the mornings with him, so I.
Speaker 2: Love that. Were My favorite times when the girls were
Speaker 2: younger was nighttimes.
Speaker 1: So she's watching way more. So I said, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm going to ask you each week?
Speaker 2: Recommend All right, So Jack's wife, so.
Speaker 1: She's got two recommendations. The new Seth Rogan show that's
Speaker 1: on Apple Plus is called The Studio.

Speaker 2: got like amazing cameos. Martin school Sacy is in the
Speaker 2: first episode and he is really as a guest star.
Speaker 1: So what is It's about making movies in Hollywood?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It's like you know what Ricky Jerbanks
Speaker 2: did with extras for the actually one, Seth Rogan is
Speaker 2: doing this for movie making. So he's just someone got fired.
Speaker 2: And Seth is the head of a big studio that
Speaker 2: makes movies. He's in way over his head and he's
Speaker 2: a coward. Is he loves making movies, but obviously he
Speaker 2: has to make decisions which are anti you know, visionaries
Speaker 2: and auteurs. So the first episode was him trying to
Speaker 2: ruin a Mark Scoro Sacy movie, which is really Mark
Speaker 2: scor Saceyviely, I don't want the world's great directors. Very
