Speaker 3: Mate.

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: People are gonna absolutely love it. I think there's a

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 4: huge response. I think because it doesn't matter what you

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: do for work, it doesn't matter what stage of life

21

Speaker 4: you're in, You're going to get so much out of this.

22
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: It'll affect the way you relate with your family, your friends,

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: at work, even just you know your hairdresser, your barber,

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: someone you see on the Street will it will stay

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,640

Speaker 1: old daughter, Ruby, who when she was a young girl

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the things that we rely bonded over was

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: was books. And then she starts to read a lot

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: more books than I do now, and I read a lot,

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and so she now is recommending books to me. She

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,640

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: I bought it the other day when I was a bookshop.

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's so good.

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280

Speaker 3: This is gonna be my double song. I've got another one,

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,200

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: I love Will Ferrell and it's been slammed right, and

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I've gotta be honest. I'm blind

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: to any weak spots. The great man has all right.

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: I'll watch him do anything, and it is Will Ferrell

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: being Will Ferrell exactly.

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: That's all I want.

79
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: I would say it's not good, but it's funny.

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's funny to be good. And he's got

81
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: Luke Wilson and it. There's some really great actors nctresses

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: in it. The cast is really funny as well.

83
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: But he's he's still got it. I'm sorry, he just

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: has it.

85
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: It's silly and right now the world is heavy and serious.

86
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Seeing Will Ferrell do his thing, It's just lights me

87
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: up watching it. I'm really enjoying it.

88
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: It does feel like something from another time, but that's

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: the best.

90
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: He's part of it.

91
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: He's doing his greatest hits. Yes, it's like Robbie doing angels. Yes,

92
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: it's not a real new lane for him, you know.

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: As a woman, Will I love this Yes, okay.

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Okay, and appeals to everyone, did you know being a

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: washed up a golf pro The Hawk is going to

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: cheer anybody up.

97
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: Right, So it's about him being a golf pro and washed.

98
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: One of his movies.

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: He's got like a Jason Stathan thing, you know, where

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: Jason is always a retired assassin.

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Will Ferrell is always seling he's had a fall from grace,

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: a sportsman having a fall from grace.

103
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: Night literally and commn even when he wasn't a sportsman,

104
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: he was a newsman who had.

105
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: A fall from grace. He plays losers. So well, that's

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: what it is, isn't he.

107
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: I saw the Guardian reviews said it's crude, cartoonish and buffoonery.

108
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: That's what I want. Tip tick tic tic tick rio?

109
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: What is it for you? What's your double thumbs up? Okay?

110
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: I did have The Hawk on Netflix with Will Ferrell

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: and I have a bit of a gear change from

112
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 4: that one. It was something I was actually very nervous

113
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: to go and watch at the cinemas. It's a documentary

114
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: called Somewhere After, and it's an Australian documentary about COVID.

115
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 4: Now bear with me because I know that's a huge,

116
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: obviously like turn off immediately as someone who lived through

117
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: Melbourne lockdowns, I was quite nervous to watch it, but

118
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: I found it to be one of the most inspiring,

119
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: sort of aspirational things that.

120
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: I've ever WoT.

121
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: Wow, it's a really brilliant concept. They filmed seven Australians

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: through zoom interviews during COVID. Now four years later they've

123
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: played them back their Zoom interviews now they were all

124
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: out of COVID and then filmed their reactions to what

125
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 4: they were like during COVID.

126
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: Oh wow, what a great idea.

127
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: And you get this amazing reflection on where we were

128
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: during COVID and what was taken away from us and

129
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: what we couldn't do and where we are now, and

130
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: really it makes you think, have you have we all

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: taken advantage and are we still appreciating the things that

132
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 4: we think over like being able to hug your family

133
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: and friends And a lot of them were talking about, Oh,

134
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: when I get out, when lockdown's over, I'm going to

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, join all these groups.

136
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: I'm going to pursue my hobbies.

137
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to call one of those declarations. Didn't we

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: abount we weren't going to take our freedom for granted anymore?

139
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: What a great idea.

140
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: And then so many of them, which and I'm guilty

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: of it as well, so many of them when they

142
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: were like have you done these things?

143
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: They're like, honestly, no, I haven't.

144
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we take it, takes for granted our lives,

145
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: don't they pleasure that we have to be alive?

146
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: And I'm going to watch this now. What a great idea.

147
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

148
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 4: It's by this young she's only twenty five year old

149
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: Australian documentary.

150
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: In her early twenties or twenty twenty one when she made.

151
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: The idea is brilliant.

152
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: Yes, big things ahead of her. I think his name's

153
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: Nicola Mcendo. It's out in cinemas. It's called Somewhere After

154
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 4: and great to support, you know, Ossie filmmakers and documentaries.

155
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: All right, what is it for you?

156
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: Okay?

157
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,039
