Speaker 2: a free coffee in a consultation. I love the local adverts, yes,
Speaker 2: and then also I love seeing all the trailers. Yeah
Speaker 2: that's true, because then you act like you're like an

Speaker 2: big goosebumps.
Speaker 1: I cannot see enough of that Springsteen trainer.
Speaker 2: Oh, it come out, It cannot come out quick.

Speaker 1: need that. He's got that next thing. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you got that veiny neck. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also it's who's the guy who's great actor from
Speaker 2: a succession Jeremy Strong. Oh, yeah, you see him in
Speaker 2: a movie, you know. Oh, this is a serious movie.
Speaker 2: He's a very kind of intense actor, isn't he. Kendall

Speaker 2: me and the kids watch a really funny movie. It's
Speaker 2: on Amazon Prime, Heads of State.
Speaker 3: Oh that looks I know, I know.
Speaker 2: And we had to watch in two installments. I'll be
Speaker 2: honest here, right, I lost them in the first eighteen minutes.
Speaker 2: The kids went, there are lots of so called laughs, Dad,
Speaker 2: but there's no laughter on the couch.
Speaker 1: I said, all right, well.
Speaker 2: Come back to it, Matt, and they went, no, No,
Speaker 2: this is like one.
Speaker 1: Of your movies where we watch it alone.
Speaker 2: Anyway, We came back two days later and we finished
Speaker 2: the whole thing off. It's good, Okay, okay. Idris elba
Speaker 2: is the UK Prime Minister, all right. John Cena is
Speaker 2: the American Come on, if you can suspend that kind
Speaker 2: of disbelief, you're in for a hell of a ride.
Speaker 1: We we loved it.
Speaker 2: It's silly, it's funny, it's unders shamedly probably happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 2: It is very funny. The act there are three set
Speaker 2: action pieces that are you scream out loud. They're so good.
Speaker 2: Author we were buzzed up at the end. It reminds
Speaker 2: you of those old fashioned eighties movies.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: This John scene has actually been in quite a few
Speaker 6: good comedy I saw him.
Speaker 1: It's Blockers.
Speaker 2: Yes, really really, he's underrated. He does comedy very well.
Speaker 2: Inches Elbow is a great serious actor. But also if
Speaker 2: you saw The American Office, he's in a season of that.
Speaker 1: He's terrified and John is saying, it's very hard to interview.
Speaker 1: Apparently I have interview John.
Speaker 2: He he was what made Unfortunately, like the radio station
Speaker 2: I used to work for, the lift barely worked when
Speaker 2: we were up on the third floor, and I would
Speaker 2: always go and meet all guests myself downstairs and reception,
Speaker 2: so bring them up in the lift, and it rarely worked.
Speaker 2: I remember Bono losing it because the lift didn't work,
Speaker 2: and he was.
Speaker 1: Like, Christian, we were here out two years ago. The
Speaker 1: lift did work. Then Christiss station.
Speaker 2: No, he's Irish and Indian and however, right, Bono is
Speaker 2: one thing, okay, John Cenia is a huge, beautiful sort
Speaker 2: of bespoke suit he had. When I said, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: we're up on the third floor, he started swearing.
Speaker 1: He had a and I certainly went no card.
Speaker 2: Even the movie they make a joke about how bad
Speaker 2: is it running?
Speaker 1: And you see it's like big units. They don't they're
Speaker 1: not built. He's not on the treadmill, so I said,
Speaker 1: and he goes, you kidding me? And I don't know?
Speaker 2: We and so me and him have to march up
Speaker 2: in angry science. Me behind this massive back. It was
Speaker 2: like I was walking behind a solid oak.
Speaker 1: Door and he was going, I've lost count?
Speaker 2: Is this the first time? I went, I, but we're
Speaker 2: halfway up towards the first to start the interview. It
Speaker 2: was like, get me a glass of water.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I really loved it. It's called the Heads of State.
Speaker 2: All right, let's play a song. We got Bruno Mars
Speaker 2: Lots out of Heaven and we go around the team
Speaker 2: doing double thumbs up.
Speaker 1: This week the.
Speaker 4: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: We're doing double thumbs up. We go around the team
Speaker 2: talk about the things that we're enjoying. This week, Patsy,
Speaker 2: what's it for you?
Speaker 7: We saw a great documentary for the fiftieth anniversary of
Speaker 7: the Jaws movie, the original Jaws movie. It's called Jaws
Speaker 7: at fifty. It's on Disney Plus and it's like lifting
Speaker 7: the curtain back on one of the most classic movies
Speaker 7: and it's absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 2: Pat to that movie. I mean, we had it a
Speaker 2: call it this week. Who actually said, Oh, it's like
Speaker 2: a scene in Jaws. Yeah, it's common reference.
Speaker 1: Is it Jaws? The music? Yeah, it's sort of.
Speaker 2: Its terrified a whole generation our age it of the ocean.
Speaker 7: I can still remember I was about three when our
Speaker 7: parents took us three kids to go and see cinema.
Speaker 3: It was terrified.
Speaker 7: Audrey couldn't get over that. We watched it after we
Speaker 7: watched the documentary because.
Speaker 3: We wanted her to see it. I believe grandma and
Speaker 3: granddad took a three year old.
Speaker 1: It's a scary movie.
Speaker 7: It is really in the suspense, but it's absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 7: And Steven Spielberg talks about how after he made it,
Speaker 7: because there were so many cost blowouts, it just took
Speaker 7: so much longer, how he had genuine PTSD after doing it,
Speaker 7: and so Orca.
Speaker 3: The boat that they used in the.
Speaker 7: Film is now at Universal Studios, which you can see,
Speaker 7: and he said when it used to close, he would
Speaker 7: go and sit on this boat after the movie was
Speaker 7: released and everything, and he said he'd just sit there
Speaker 7: and cry.
Speaker 3: He was just so traumatized by making it.
Speaker 2: And yeah, because he already had to back himself because
Speaker 2: they put when you watch it now because special effects
Speaker 2: and CGI and GreenScreen are incredible now. At the time
Speaker 2: Jaws was terrifying, but you watch it now, it's the
Speaker 2: least terrifying looking thing ever.
Speaker 1: It works like some cheap sort of thing you.
Speaker 2: Get a Luna Park meganical shuk.
Speaker 1: It looked so lame, and he.
Speaker 7: Said it would always break down and they'd always hear down,
Speaker 7: you know, in their earphone's nuts.
Speaker 3: Shark's broken. Oh it's working.
Speaker 7: No, it's broken again, and it just would take ages
Speaker 7: to film. But one unknown fact I did not know
Speaker 7: about the movie. There were only legitimately like six actors
Speaker 7: in it.
Speaker 3: All the rest were Nantucket locals.
Speaker 4: O kidding.
Speaker 1: All the beat scenes behind the mayor.
Speaker 7: And were local people that lived at Nantucket where I
Speaker 7: was filmed, which gave it that beautiful, almost documentary style
Speaker 7: of movie.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. It was fascinating.
Speaker 7: And a couple of the scenes one of the locals
Speaker 7: was on the boat. They didn't even give him lines.
Speaker 7: He just like said whatever he wanted to say. So
Speaker 7: it's brilliant. It's called Jaws at fifty It's on Disney.
Speaker 1: Plus.
Speaker 2: It terrified my wife so much. I mean, she loves
Speaker 2: diving and she still gets nerves about diving because the
Speaker 2: movie Jaws. Right, she used to do as a kid,
Speaker 2: because she went to see it when she was like five.
Speaker 2: I don't know what her parents were thinking of. She
Speaker 2: wouldn't get in the bath for weeks. She was terrified
Speaker 2: that Jaws was going to get up for the plug
Speaker 2: ole and she would make her dad paid and the
Speaker 2: plug go and go all clear.
Speaker 5: Going to the bathroom, toilet toilet, right, Yes, the local,
Speaker 5: the local, there's a there's a sharkskin to come into
Speaker 5: the swimming in the middle of that music.
Speaker 1: The one most iconic movie scores ever, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And the other thing that's dropped this week, which if
Speaker 7: you've got a teenager girl, a teenage daughter particularly, you
Speaker 7: will be right across this.

Speaker 6: until literally two weeks ago.

Speaker 6: It's an ABC original show, but it feels like a
Speaker 6: BBC comedy because it's got Sally Phillips, Bridget Jones and

Speaker 6: mean it's named after him. He plays Austin of the show. Austin.
Speaker 1: He's brilliant. What a great cast.
Speaker 6: And the plot is, it's a great set up.
Speaker 4: What is it?

Speaker 6: after accidentally retweeting a neo Nazi and it's them trying
Speaker 6: to rehabilitate his image and Austin comes in as.

Speaker 8: called Quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's great Netflix. It follows three quarterbacks. So who do
Speaker 1: you like? Cousins or Mahomes.
Speaker 8: Or I'm a big fan of Jared Goff because he
Speaker 8: came to the Detroit Lions from the l A Rams,
Speaker 8: and the la Rams basically discarded him. The Detroit Lions
Speaker 8: saw something in him and brought him on. I see
Speaker 8: myself in him in some way.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know I didn't expect you to go anyway, he.
Speaker 8: Was given a chance, he was given another opportunity.
Speaker 1: So you're on QB one.
Speaker 2: No, I get it, you do have an aasory thinks
Speaker 2: they're QB.
Speaker 8: One, But it is the hardest position in sports.
Speaker 1: And that's why job because at the captain that everything everything.
Speaker 8: They had to know what the defense is doing, what
Speaker 8: their own team's doing, uh.
Speaker 2: And have to memorize for weeks all the coaches plays.
Speaker 2: I didn't know any of this until I watched the
Speaker 2: Tom Brady documentary Generating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is the greatest athlete. I think they ever
Speaker 1: leave that guy.
Speaker 8: He is incredible. But quarterback, it's really cool because you
Speaker 8: get to see behind the scenes. You see what these
Speaker 8: quarterbacks go through. You have the the Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins snapping his achilles tender, yes, and that the
Speaker 8: whole rehab and going through movie team. So you know,
Speaker 8: sport is life, folks, and like, you see what these
Speaker 8: guys go through, and I think it's really fascinating insight.
Speaker 2: Next week on the show, we need to come back
Speaker 2: to the greatest sporting athlete ever. Tom Brady's a big claim,
