Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: I went to the cinema last week. I took my
Speaker 3: youngest daughter to Lewis. We went to see this new
Speaker 3: movie Air. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I loved it, really really good, directed by Ben Afflet.
Speaker 4: He's in it. He's very good.
Speaker 3: Matt Damon is amazing in it. And Valda Davis is
Speaker 3: a great actor. And Michael Jordan's only stipulations that she
Speaker 3: had to play his mum or he was not going
Speaker 3: to sign off the movie.
Speaker 4: She is incredible in this. It's a great movie.
Speaker 3: It's the story basically of world's greatest athlete, greatest competitor
Speaker 3: of all time, but he's not in it.
Speaker 4: You see the back of his head or someone.
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed the movie, right, and I'd recommend you
Speaker 3: go and see it. But it ended, and I then
Speaker 3: the most interesting thing about him, it's just like you
Speaker 3: did a trainer deal once. That's that's the story you
Speaker 3: want to tell us.
Speaker 4: It's a well told story.
Speaker 5: I guess. In the Last Dance, the Netflix documentary, we
Speaker 5: got to learn about him as a player.
Speaker 4: But what about that trainer deal?
Speaker 3: Huh play Here's at one point I found myself going
Speaker 3: it all builds to this big pitch. Will he even
Speaker 3: get to the table. It looks like he's gonna go
Speaker 3: to Converse. Nike won't really had no big play at
Speaker 3: all him in basketball trainers and sneakers. And I'm sent
Speaker 3: to my daughter, I go, oh my god, I just
Speaker 3: hope they get the deal she has.
Speaker 4: They're a billion dollar company. We know they're not the underdog.
Speaker 3: I hope they get more billions. Billionaires. You'er the billionaires
Speaker 3: on this story. That's what I say.
Speaker 4: Oh shoo dog.
Speaker 5: By making a great movie, they've essentially you got us
Speaker 5: to see through a two hour ad.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought it was.
Speaker 3: And then the saddest one is right, I have a
Speaker 3: pair of air Shorges, and about twenty minutes into movie,
Speaker 3: my daughters went, oh my god, please tell me didn't
Speaker 3: wear those. They just happened to be on my feet.
Speaker 3: I didn't wear them to come to the movie about
Speaker 3: how they came to be Anyway, I noticed Perry, who
Speaker 3: does all the video for the show, right, he has
Speaker 3: got a brand new pair of age. He hasn't worn
Speaker 3: them fresh out the box, and coincidence get rolled for them.
Speaker 5: He saw the film over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then went out and brought himself a pair
Speaker 3: of air Jordan's. You ever do anything like that where
Speaker 3: you see a movie and go I'm having that. I'm
Speaker 3: going online right now.
Speaker 4: The credits are rolling ordered. That's it. I'm going to
Speaker 4: be like the movies. Your friend has done this.
Speaker 5: He bought the jacket that Ryan Gosling wears in the
Speaker 5: movie Drives, a satin woman, satin bomber jacket, a scorp
Speaker 5: yellow scorpion on the back.
Speaker 4: Now, Ryan Gosling can pull that off, yes.
Speaker 5: And my friend can't. Hasn't even had the guts to
Speaker 5: wear it anywhere. We all right.
Speaker 3: Let's take some new calls right now. Let's go to Jeff.
Speaker 3: I'm good Jeff, and I hope you well. Thanks to

Speaker 3: rocked it around.

Speaker 3: It's a true story of how Nike bless them mashed
Speaker 3: to secure even more billions of profits. I get Michael
Speaker 3: Jordan to do a sneaker deal with them. I love
Speaker 3: the movie, but actually my majority of that movie is
Speaker 3: what is many yelling in boardrooms and officers about we're
Speaker 3: going to get this? How are we going to close anyway?
Speaker 3: Obviously it's gonna not not like the brand of air
Speaker 3: Jordan's needs any more marketing. But I'm bet there's loads
Speaker 3: of kids that kind of come out of the going
Speaker 3: I want to buy a pair. When you say kids
Speaker 3: actually grown up about to be Dad Perry that works
Speaker 3: on this show went straight to the olds foot locker.

Speaker 6: up in the early hours of a frosty morning in
Speaker 6: Dalford and putting on my hooded track matching top and

Speaker 3: locker and start punching all those carcasses.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I had a red punching bag and I
Speaker 6: visited that as a big cow carcass. But you know
Speaker 6: what can I do, Christian? I was young and impressionable,
Speaker 6: and I can't complain to my kids when they get
Speaker 6: off on some trendy thing that's been branded in the
Speaker 6: movie now because I look back and I did exactly
Speaker 6: the same thing.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine drinking that horrible foul drink with all
Speaker 3: the eggs in that. Danny, that's a great one. Thank
