Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So after the song, we get into this week's Double thumbs.
Speaker 1: Up, the Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's do Double thumbs Up. This is where we go
Speaker 2: around the team meet. Jack and pats were talking about
Speaker 2: the things we've enjoyed this week. Patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Today, boys is World Minopause Day all across the globe
Speaker 4: and it aims to raise awenness on periminopause and minopause.
Speaker 4: And it's obviously been in the spotlight really the last
Speaker 4: six months, which is great. Everywhere people are really talking
Speaker 4: about it now. It's so exciting you be part of
Speaker 4: that with your podcast podcast. And it was lovely the
Speaker 4: listeners on Wednesday nights, some of the ladies and the
Speaker 4: men said that they were into the podcast halfway through
Speaker 4: it and some of them had completely listened to it
Speaker 4: on the iHeart platform Rage Against the Menopause, which was
Speaker 4: such lovely feedback. When you get it in the wild
Speaker 4: like that, it's like, yeah, it's really made a difference
Speaker 4: and help people. So there's a lot of great books
Speaker 4: that I've pointed to in the podcast that are just
Speaker 4: really great self help guides. And this is by a
Speaker 4: doctor Mary Clare. Have I follow her on Instagram as well.
Speaker 4: She's an American obstetrician guynecologist, and she's brilliant and she's
Speaker 4: just so personable. She feels like she's talking to you
Speaker 4: on her Instagram post what she does. And it's called
Speaker 4: The New Menopause and it's wonderful. You can get it
Speaker 4: through Penguin Books. The section I really liked was the
Speaker 4: latest research into menopause hormone therapy, because it's a really
Speaker 4: gray area. So if you're looking at going down that
Speaker 4: part if you want to know the latest research and
Speaker 4: factor it in for yourself. I've loved it through Penguin
Speaker 4: Books The New Menopause, and it is a New York
Speaker 4: Times bestseller.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's brilliant.
Speaker 1: I found it really helpful, Jackie boy, what do you enjoyed?
Speaker 1: This week?
Speaker 3: We watched this movie. There was a hard cell to
Speaker 3: my family called Robot Dreams. No talking in the whole thing,
Speaker 3: hour and a half.
Speaker 1: No signent movie.
Speaker 3: It's a cartoon, so all you hear is music, and
Speaker 3: then these two characters, a dog and a robot who
Speaker 3: become best friends. I said to Bianca and Gordio, I
Speaker 3: think it will be a great thing to watch with
Speaker 3: him as a kid. And I just read this rave
Speaker 3: review about you can't believe how touching a movie can
Speaker 3: be without any dialogue at all. And it's such a
Speaker 3: sweet film about two friends, this dog and a robot
Speaker 3: living in New York in the nineteen eighties, and they
Speaker 3: get separated and trying to find their way back to
Speaker 3: each other. It's on stan so there's no don or, there's.
Speaker 1: No captions, nothing.
Speaker 3: No captions. No, they never exchange words. There's only music
Speaker 3: and to give this a go, the expressions between the
Speaker 3: two characters, so it makes it a great even though
Speaker 3: it wasn't made for kids, and makes it a great
Speaker 3: one to watch for kids as well, because Gordy loved
Speaker 3: all the cartoons. But such a sweet movie and this
Speaker 3: wart an achievement without any dialogue at all.
Speaker 4: That's one awards.
Speaker 3: Robot Robot Train it probably has. Yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing
Speaker 3: film that's on stand. And then the other thing that
Speaker 3: I highly recommend. I've been telling people all week take
Speaker 3: your kids to karaoke. We had one of the best
Speaker 3: excursions we've had with Gordy on the weekend. It was
Speaker 3: just the three of us K box cafes. Where we
Speaker 3: went is in a Beckett Street in the CBD and.
Speaker 1: Because Kicher love it and I haven and.
Speaker 3: They just love that reverb on the microphacee so already
Speaker 3: they like they like speaking into it. But then as
Speaker 3: you get there, like you get their favorite songs up,
Speaker 3: and then Bianka and I got carried away with it.
Speaker 2: We had great for Gordon just to hear his dance voice,
Speaker 2: I mean a hell of a voice on Jackie Boy,
Speaker 2: not even that Rebirk and lift that.
Speaker 4: Glasses smashing on the back.
Speaker 3: Well, there were some points where body got a little
Speaker 3: board and this was one of them.
Speaker 1: And then the anchor in the pair of you do
Speaker 1: a duet.
Speaker 3: What makes it so funny is there is no pressure
Speaker 3: on anyone to be a good singer.
Speaker 1: You're quite right, you're quite right, you're quite right. So
Speaker 1: where do you go again? K Box?
Speaker 3: It's in the city. K Box Cafe a Beckett Street.
Speaker 1: All right, we're take an ab break. I'll come back

Speaker 3: get back to everybody. And isn't this completely different from
Speaker 3: where you were? I called you Sunday. I'm so worried
Speaker 3: about the part of me wanted to call him and say,
Speaker 3: you know that podcast we did, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: I don't want it out there because you just have
Speaker 3: no idea, being so vulnerable, how people are going to
Speaker 3: react to it. And it couldn't have been more of
Speaker 3: an opposite reaction to what I was expecting. I don't
Speaker 3: know why I expected some people to react negatively, but
Speaker 3: it has been nothing but positivity and connection.
