0:01:38.365 --> 0:01:38.765
<v Speaker 2>this year?

0:01:38.925 --> 0:01:41.205
<v Speaker 4>The thing that I can't or two things actually that

0:01:41.245 --> 0:01:42.765
<v Speaker 4>I can't stop thinking about.

0:01:42.845 --> 0:01:44.165
<v Speaker 5>One very recently.

0:01:43.805 --> 0:01:48.565
<v Speaker 4>Wicked for Good, which is just absolutely sensational, better than

0:01:48.565 --> 0:01:52.165
<v Speaker 4>the first movie, and just so much heart and all

0:01:52.205 --> 0:01:56.685
<v Speaker 4>about friendship and love and connection and it's just a

0:01:56.845 --> 0:01:59.605
<v Speaker 4>feast for the eyes on the screen and it's beautiful.

0:01:59.605 --> 0:02:01.045
<v Speaker 1>So would you put that over Frankenstein.

0:02:01.085 --> 0:02:02.725
<v Speaker 2>I know you're blown away by the kind of like,

0:02:02.845 --> 0:02:05.365
<v Speaker 2>you know, spectacle of Frankenstein, But look.

0:02:05.285 --> 0:02:09.204
<v Speaker 4>You know what I didn't find Frankenstein. And Joseph Lordie

0:02:09.285 --> 0:02:12.565
<v Speaker 4>has actually been nominated. I think it's for a golden

0:02:13.165 --> 0:02:17.085
<v Speaker 4>Golden Globe for his performance. But Wicked is Wicked for

0:02:17.165 --> 0:02:20.325
<v Speaker 4>Good is just there's something really special about it and

0:02:20.365 --> 0:02:22.845
<v Speaker 4>it's I think it's going to be a classic. It's

0:02:22.845 --> 0:02:26.125
<v Speaker 4>so beautiful. The script is amazing. A lot of people

0:02:26.125 --> 0:02:29.405
<v Speaker 4>will have already seen it, but if you haven't, going a.

0:02:29.365 --> 0:02:32.645
<v Speaker 2>Week Saturday with my two daughters who've already seen it together.

0:02:33.445 --> 0:02:36.205
<v Speaker 2>They went with each other about two weeks ago. They

0:02:36.205 --> 0:02:38.485
<v Speaker 2>were like, they watched the video clip if you're talking

0:02:38.485 --> 0:02:41.125
<v Speaker 2>about it. A couple of weeks ago on Instagram they

0:02:41.125 --> 0:02:43.285
<v Speaker 2>were saying, it's that dad. It's literally one of the

0:02:43.325 --> 0:02:44.405
<v Speaker 2>best movies ever made.

0:02:44.525 --> 0:02:46.085
<v Speaker 5>It is and it's going to be one of those.

0:02:46.245 --> 0:02:48.044
<v Speaker 1>So happy to go and see it again. That's taking

0:02:48.045 --> 0:02:49.644
<v Speaker 1>me to see it. We're going a week Saturday.

0:02:49.725 --> 0:02:51.565
<v Speaker 4>I love that and this is the sort of this

0:02:51.645 --> 0:02:54.045
<v Speaker 4>is what it's going to do. It's one of these

0:02:54.125 --> 0:02:57.405
<v Speaker 4>movies where you will want the special people in your

0:02:57.485 --> 0:02:59.685
<v Speaker 4>life to be watching it with you, and it's one

0:02:59.685 --> 0:03:02.325
<v Speaker 4>of those. It's like a warm blanket. Whenever you want

0:03:02.325 --> 0:03:06.085
<v Speaker 4>to feel, you know, cheered up or you will put

0:03:06.085 --> 0:03:09.125
<v Speaker 4>this movie on and it will just from your heart.

0:03:09.205 --> 0:03:09.845
<v Speaker 5>It's beautiful.

0:03:09.965 --> 0:03:12.285
<v Speaker 4>The other thing for me this year was Handmaid's Tale

0:03:12.365 --> 0:03:13.085
<v Speaker 4>season six.

0:03:13.645 --> 0:03:16.445
<v Speaker 1>It was that still good because I love watching that.

0:03:16.525 --> 0:03:18.885
<v Speaker 2>Right we got into about the third season, Pats, but

0:03:18.925 --> 0:03:22.445
<v Speaker 2>then it just coincided with a dystopian time here in Melbourne.

0:03:22.645 --> 0:03:24.645
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to talk about Lockdown. It was a

0:03:24.765 --> 0:03:27.685
<v Speaker 2>very or any more dystopian things.

0:03:27.805 --> 0:03:31.405
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was no more space in your brain, but.

0:03:31.325 --> 0:03:33.685
<v Speaker 2>Only not because it wasn't brilliant how much how one

0:03:33.685 --> 0:03:35.365
<v Speaker 2>of the best TV shows ever, But.

0:03:35.525 --> 0:03:37.405
<v Speaker 4>Do you want it to be uplifted at that time,

0:03:37.685 --> 0:03:41.285
<v Speaker 4>especially when you confined to your house with your family

0:03:41.485 --> 0:03:42.045
<v Speaker 4>all day.

0:03:42.485 --> 0:03:44.165
<v Speaker 5>But no, this is brilliant.

0:03:44.325 --> 0:03:46.845
<v Speaker 4>It's I would recommend like if you've read the books,

0:03:46.885 --> 0:03:50.885
<v Speaker 4>definitely Margaret Atward's books, you know you'll be right across this,

0:03:51.285 --> 0:03:54.085
<v Speaker 4>But especially if you're like a mum where you've got

0:03:54.325 --> 0:03:58.125
<v Speaker 4>very rarely the house to yourself for like a few

0:03:58.125 --> 0:04:01.165
<v Speaker 4>hours and you just want to escape. It is so

0:04:01.485 --> 0:04:06.965
<v Speaker 4>beautifully made and Elizabeth Moss is so incredible in this.

0:04:07.485 --> 0:04:11.125
<v Speaker 4>And then they're also in production with The Testaments, because

0:04:11.245 --> 0:04:12.885
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's one of those series when you have

0:04:12.965 --> 0:04:15.365
<v Speaker 4>a favorite thing you and Alex had know what it's like,

0:04:15.445 --> 0:04:17.925
<v Speaker 4>where you just there's a thirst for more and it's like, oh,

0:04:17.964 --> 0:04:20.805
<v Speaker 4>I wish it wasn't the final one. So knowing that

0:04:20.925 --> 0:04:24.164
<v Speaker 4>another you know, whole new series is in production a

0:04:24.164 --> 0:04:26.564
<v Speaker 4>few years down the track from where it left off.

0:04:26.645 --> 0:04:29.404
<v Speaker 4>It just all the pieces were tied up and it

0:04:29.484 --> 0:04:32.364
<v Speaker 4>was Yeah, it was so powerful. I loved every single

0:04:32.445 --> 0:04:33.124
<v Speaker 4>season of it.

0:04:33.245 --> 0:04:33.685
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant.

0:04:33.804 --> 0:04:36.605
<v Speaker 2>All right, test your favorite things of the year four

0:04:36.685 --> 0:04:39.365
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, three, one oh four three.

0:04:39.924 --> 0:04:44.964
<v Speaker 3>The Christian O'Connell Show, Oh Hells Alive. More later on

0:04:45.005 --> 0:04:47.364
<v Speaker 3>the iHeart Radio Christian.

0:04:47.404 --> 0:04:49.484
<v Speaker 2>One of the best shows I've watched this year. This

0:04:49.565 --> 0:04:51.724
<v Speaker 2>comes from Sarah Morning, Sarah Christian. All the best shows

0:04:51.765 --> 0:04:55.964
<v Speaker 2>I've loved this year was The Paper I saw. I

0:04:56.005 --> 0:04:58.684
<v Speaker 2>saw that on stand. Ricky Gervais is a producer. It's brilliant,

0:04:58.804 --> 0:05:02.124
<v Speaker 2>very very clever. Really enjoyed that as well, Sarah. Thank

0:05:02.125 --> 0:05:04.724
<v Speaker 2>you for your recommendations. All Right, it's our last double

0:05:04.765 --> 0:05:06.724
<v Speaker 2>thumbs up of the year, the things that we've really

0:05:06.804 --> 0:05:11.085
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed twenty twenty five, So, Patsy wicked wass.

0:05:11.125 --> 0:05:14.325
<v Speaker 1>Movie of the Year for me Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere. Yes,

0:05:14.364 --> 0:05:17.445
<v Speaker 1>I'm biased. I'm big Springsteen fan. I'd be honest.

0:05:17.844 --> 0:05:19.844
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that does make me a bit wonky eye, just

0:05:19.885 --> 0:05:22.645
<v Speaker 2>a tiny bit, and it's just on the side, But

0:05:22.804 --> 0:05:26.125
<v Speaker 2>I love that movie. I really really loved it so much.

0:05:26.685 --> 0:05:29.085
<v Speaker 2>Deliver Me from Nowhere in my Movie of the Year podcast,

0:05:29.205 --> 0:05:30.964
<v Speaker 2>my favorite podcast of the year. This is a strange

0:05:31.005 --> 0:05:33.245
<v Speaker 2>one for me, but I really want to just talk

0:05:33.245 --> 0:05:35.924
<v Speaker 2>about how great it was. Really well made, a very

0:05:36.044 --> 0:05:40.484
<v Speaker 2>human voice in journalism, and it's a rival broadcasting organization,

0:05:41.005 --> 0:05:44.884
<v Speaker 2>and it's an ABC podcast, and it was The Mushroom Daily.

0:05:45.284 --> 0:05:47.205
<v Speaker 2>It was everything that was going on day by day,

0:05:47.245 --> 0:05:51.445
<v Speaker 2>twenty minute episodes during an incredible trial. The captivated not

0:05:51.565 --> 0:05:54.044
<v Speaker 2>just this city in Australia but the world, but the

0:05:54.085 --> 0:05:58.045
<v Speaker 2>trial of Aaron Patterson's called The Mushroom Daily. Not sensationalists,

0:05:58.164 --> 0:06:02.164
<v Speaker 2>just very human journalism. I thought it was pretty, absolutely brilliant.

0:06:02.205 --> 0:06:04.085
<v Speaker 2>The whole family watched it with swap notes on it.

0:06:04.085 --> 0:06:06.645
<v Speaker 2>It's very very good Mushroom Daily. You can still listen

0:06:06.685 --> 0:06:10.044
<v Speaker 2>again to it. Favorite TV shows far from me. I

0:06:10.085 --> 0:06:12.844
<v Speaker 2>loved all of these in no order. Task, the Studio,

0:06:13.205 --> 0:06:16.884
<v Speaker 2>the Pit, and adolescents. If you have kids, no matter

0:06:16.885 --> 0:06:18.964
<v Speaker 2>what age they are, whether you're a new parent or

0:06:19.005 --> 0:06:22.325
<v Speaker 2>you've got teenagers or nineteen year olds, twenty year olds.

0:06:22.404 --> 0:06:25.284
<v Speaker 1>It is essential you watch adolescents.

0:06:25.484 --> 0:06:27.685
<v Speaker 2>You cannot say you're a parent if you don't care

0:06:27.685 --> 0:06:29.244
<v Speaker 2>about the kids and the world they're in, not the

0:06:29.245 --> 0:06:31.205
<v Speaker 2>world we are in, the world that they are in

0:06:31.245 --> 0:06:34.005
<v Speaker 2>and growing into if you don't watch adolescents, it is

0:06:34.044 --> 0:06:36.045
<v Speaker 2>more important than any book you read on parenting and

0:06:36.085 --> 0:06:38.844
<v Speaker 2>how they getting them into sleep habits and changing their nappies.

0:06:39.125 --> 0:06:41.484
<v Speaker 2>That is about the world that we are growing them into.

0:06:41.604 --> 0:06:44.444
<v Speaker 2>We don't know enough about it. I wish that this

0:06:44.565 --> 0:06:46.845
<v Speaker 2>TV show I've been around ten years ago. I think

0:06:46.885 --> 0:06:49.445
<v Speaker 2>I would have been a better parent. But anyway, adolescents

0:06:49.645 --> 0:06:52.004
<v Speaker 2>very very good. I love reading books. These are three

0:06:52.005 --> 0:06:55.125
<v Speaker 2>books I picked. I read a lot of books. These

0:06:55.125 --> 0:06:56.765
<v Speaker 2>are three books I've loved this year. These are three

0:06:56.765 --> 0:06:57.845
<v Speaker 2>books I've recommended.

0:06:58.044 --> 0:06:58.404
<v Speaker 1>Some of them.

0:06:58.404 --> 0:07:00.244
<v Speaker 2>I've actually bought copies of friends who don't like to

0:07:00.284 --> 0:07:02.325
<v Speaker 2>read that much, and they love them. So I just

0:07:02.364 --> 0:07:04.525
<v Speaker 2>want to recommend books that I think you would really enjoy,

0:07:04.844 --> 0:07:06.525
<v Speaker 2>even if you don't read tons of books, like a

0:07:06.565 --> 0:07:09.245
<v Speaker 2>book nerd like me. First of all, book called great

0:07:09.245 --> 0:07:13.485
<v Speaker 2>title this one. I can easily describe this if a

0:07:13.645 --> 0:07:17.765
<v Speaker 2>nonna was Tony Soprano. This is a story. One of

0:07:17.765 --> 0:07:20.525
<v Speaker 2>her kids dies, she's a honor, she goes on the revenge.

0:07:20.605 --> 0:07:23.684
<v Speaker 2>It's an incredible story. It will become a movie, I'm sure.

0:07:23.925 --> 0:07:27.925
<v Speaker 2>The Savage and Noble Death of Bab's Dione brilliant book.

0:07:28.565 --> 0:07:32.124
<v Speaker 2>Second one, Sa Crosby's book, King of Ashes, banger of

0:07:32.125 --> 0:07:34.205
<v Speaker 2>a book. You'll read it in two days over Christmas.

0:07:34.845 --> 0:07:36.805
<v Speaker 2>Sa Crosby's written loads of books. I've read them all.

0:07:36.804 --> 0:07:38.645
<v Speaker 2>This is the best one, King of Ashes. It came

0:07:38.685 --> 0:07:40.045
<v Speaker 2>up this year. There's a reason why it's got I

0:07:40.085 --> 0:07:42.085
<v Speaker 2>think that Summer Night two thousand and five Star of

0:07:42.165 --> 0:07:44.245
<v Speaker 2>News on Amazon. And then if you really want one

0:07:44.285 --> 0:07:47.205
<v Speaker 2>that's going to knock you off your backside. Ian McEwan's

0:07:47.364 --> 0:07:50.125
<v Speaker 2>What Can We Know? I read it twice this year.

0:07:50.405 --> 0:07:52.525
<v Speaker 2>It moved me that much. I can't even talk about

0:07:52.525 --> 0:07:54.205
<v Speaker 2>the ending of it without welling up.

0:07:54.245 --> 0:07:56.725
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful, beautiful book. Read quite a few of

0:07:56.765 --> 0:07:57.165
<v Speaker 1>his books.

0:07:57.245 --> 0:08:00.084
<v Speaker 2>There's one of his books that became a movie movie

0:08:00.085 --> 0:08:02.124
<v Speaker 2>with Daniel Craig called Atonement. You might have seen that

<v Speaker 2>I know you interviewed them back on the day, Christian.

0:09:56.444 --> 0:09:57.645
<v Speaker 2>That story gave me a good laugh.

0:09:57.804 --> 0:09:58.005
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:09:58.005 --> 0:10:00.564
<v Speaker 2>The Darkness step debut album I think came out two

0:10:00.564 --> 0:10:04.725
<v Speaker 2>thousand and three. Permission to Land was a huge hue seller.

0:10:04.965 --> 0:10:08.285
<v Speaker 2>They launched it on my old breakfast show. We did

0:10:08.285 --> 0:10:11.444
<v Speaker 2>them live in front of two thousand people midway during

0:10:11.485 --> 0:10:14.485
<v Speaker 2>a breakfast show. Unfortunately, one of their songs, they did

0:10:14.564 --> 0:10:20.005
<v Speaker 2>the unedited version of it and it had eleven times

0:10:20.045 --> 0:10:25.125
<v Speaker 2>they said the word MFH eleven times at ten past stay,

0:10:25.125 --> 0:10:27.285
<v Speaker 2>middle of the school run to all of London.

0:10:28.605 --> 0:10:30.645
<v Speaker 1>My radio career was only four years old, and I

0:10:30.845 --> 0:10:31.605
<v Speaker 1>was like, we.

0:10:31.765 --> 0:10:34.845
<v Speaker 2>Told them, we told them not to do this and

0:10:34.925 --> 0:10:36.965
<v Speaker 2>if you know The Darkness, they won't listened to that,

0:10:37.005 --> 0:10:37.765
<v Speaker 2>nor should they.

0:10:37.925 --> 0:10:39.165
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get a single complaint.

0:10:39.684 --> 0:10:40.605
<v Speaker 5>Are you serious?

0:10:40.725 --> 0:10:42.324
<v Speaker 2>Which also said to me maybe we didn't have a

0:10:42.365 --> 0:10:44.845
<v Speaker 2>single listener about then, quite this small show. I don't

0:10:44.885 --> 0:10:46.685
<v Speaker 2>know which was more true, with the lack of listeners

0:10:46.925 --> 0:10:49.405
<v Speaker 2>or the lack of complaints, But anyway.

0:10:49.045 --> 0:10:50.165
<v Speaker 1>Glad you enjoy The Darkness.

0:10:50.204 --> 0:10:53.045
<v Speaker 2>They're a great band and he's a great follow on

0:10:53.485 --> 0:10:56.124
<v Speaker 2>Instagram as well. It does a brilliant series where he

0:10:56.564 --> 0:10:59.045
<v Speaker 2>talks about his favorite pop songs can be anything from

0:10:59.084 --> 0:11:01.765
<v Speaker 2>Gaga to The Stones and how they're put together. It's

0:11:01.804 --> 0:11:04.085
<v Speaker 2>really been I've learned so much from music about it.

0:11:04.525 --> 0:11:07.285
<v Speaker 2>Justin on Instagram. All right, Alex, what have you love

0:11:07.365 --> 0:11:07.765
<v Speaker 2>this year?

0:11:07.845 --> 0:11:09.964
<v Speaker 6>Well, just before we get to that. The Darkness they

0:11:10.005 --> 0:11:12.124
<v Speaker 6>are an incredible band. I saw them in Perth a

0:11:12.245 --> 0:11:14.165
<v Speaker 6>number of years ago and they did the best rendition

0:11:14.245 --> 0:11:16.684
<v Speaker 6>of ac DC's Back in Black that I think of.

0:11:16.845 --> 0:11:19.645
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, what a tree. When bands do a good

0:11:19.684 --> 0:11:22.604
<v Speaker 1>cover version, it was so so good. But my pix.

0:11:22.765 --> 0:11:25.365
<v Speaker 6>So I have two crime dramas that have stayed with

0:11:25.444 --> 0:11:27.925
<v Speaker 6>me my entire life. The first one is The Wire,

0:11:28.444 --> 0:11:31.525
<v Speaker 6>that's an American one. It was an incredible show, incredible show.

0:11:31.605 --> 0:11:35.245
<v Speaker 6>Closely followed by that is a show called Kin It's

0:11:35.324 --> 0:11:38.885
<v Speaker 6>about an Irish crime family. It's on SBS on demand

0:11:39.444 --> 0:11:42.285
<v Speaker 6>and I think about it often. It just rocks you

0:11:42.564 --> 0:11:44.485
<v Speaker 6>to your core. So you put it up there with

0:11:44.485 --> 0:11:45.205
<v Speaker 6>the wy The Why.

0:11:45.204 --> 0:11:47.205
<v Speaker 2>I would say that's in my top five greatst TV

0:11:47.245 --> 0:11:49.205
<v Speaker 2>shows ever long on the Sopranos.

0:11:48.605 --> 0:11:52.125
<v Speaker 6>Definitely, it's just below the Wire for mine. Wow, because

0:11:52.204 --> 0:11:53.765
<v Speaker 6>I think I spent a bit of time in Ireland.

0:11:53.804 --> 0:11:55.445
<v Speaker 6>So I lived in Ireland just after I left school,

0:11:55.845 --> 0:11:59.125
<v Speaker 6>and I guess there's this fascination there with these crime gangs.

0:11:59.125 --> 0:12:01.045
<v Speaker 6>There's a kind of hand crime gang that I think

0:12:01.285 --> 0:12:02.564
<v Speaker 6>this show is loosely based on.

0:12:03.084 --> 0:12:05.204
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, you meant this show is Lucy based.

0:12:06.925 --> 0:12:11.564
<v Speaker 2>You look in a pass then I hear, yeah.

0:12:11.245 --> 0:12:14.564
<v Speaker 6>So it's it's a brilliant It's got Ad Gillen, a

0:12:15.084 --> 0:12:17.844
<v Speaker 6>little finger from the Game of Thrones. You might have

0:12:17.925 --> 0:12:20.725
<v Speaker 6>seen him around Kieren Hines. He starred in a couple

0:12:20.725 --> 0:12:22.324
<v Speaker 6>of Australian dramas.

0:12:21.845 --> 0:12:23.884
<v Speaker 1>Also in Gamer, also in Game of Thrones.

0:12:23.605 --> 0:12:26.005
<v Speaker 6>Game of Thrones as well. So it's just fantastic and

0:12:26.005 --> 0:12:28.005
<v Speaker 6>it's ten us around the death of one of the

0:12:28.324 --> 0:12:34.565
<v Speaker 6>crime family sons and this revenge and this absolute I

0:12:34.564 --> 0:12:37.125
<v Speaker 6>don't know, chase for the dollar and it's it's just

0:12:37.245 --> 0:12:39.325
<v Speaker 6>it's fantastic and I couldn't stop watching it, and I

0:12:39.324 --> 0:12:41.365
<v Speaker 6>watched it on my own and so I just absolutely

0:12:41.405 --> 0:12:41.685
<v Speaker 6>loved it.

0:12:42.444 --> 0:12:44.645

<v Speaker 6>with sport and it's just hilarious. And my book would

0:14:04.405 --> 0:14:07.845
<v Speaker 6>be ten percent happier by Dan Harris had got me

0:14:07.885 --> 0:14:10.245
<v Speaker 6>through a very very difficult time earlier in the year.

0:14:10.485 --> 0:14:15.365
<v Speaker 6>It's a wonderful journey through I guess self help meditation.

0:14:15.485 --> 0:14:18.445
<v Speaker 6>He was an American journalist in that cutthroat world of

0:14:18.485 --> 0:14:21.364
<v Speaker 6>TV journalism in the US, he started doing some more

0:14:21.405 --> 0:14:24.325
<v Speaker 6>stories on religion, and he sort of got into Buddhism

0:14:24.485 --> 0:14:27.045
<v Speaker 6>in a big way, not so much the religious side

0:14:27.045 --> 0:14:29.205
<v Speaker 6>of it, but the meditative side of it and the

0:14:29.285 --> 0:14:32.645
<v Speaker 6>looking inwards and taking time for yourself. And I started

0:14:32.685 --> 0:14:34.845
<v Speaker 6>really to do that myself, and it really got me

0:14:34.885 --> 0:14:38.645
<v Speaker 6>through the breathing. Something as simple as sitting there and

0:14:38.685 --> 0:14:41.485
<v Speaker 6>taking those deep breaths. I did it yesterday. I took

0:14:41.485 --> 0:14:44.445
<v Speaker 6>ten minutes to sit there and just meditate. And I

0:14:44.445 --> 0:14:45.645
<v Speaker 6>can't tell you the difference it makes.

0:14:45.965 --> 0:14:47.925
