Speaker 2: It's in doubles and it's knockout as well.
Speaker 1: Gosh, so much dry not there. There's a lot of.
Speaker 2: Tension I've got.
Speaker 3: I've made a new tennis friend's someone I played against
Speaker 3: and now we're friends.
Speaker 1: Isn't that cute? Wow?
Speaker 4: This We're really excited. We're going up to Milliwa, to
Speaker 4: the wine region, beautiful lance More and I'm very honestly lance.
Speaker 1: More lovely ones too. That's a beautiful place.
Speaker 4: I tell you how excited I am. We realized the
Speaker 4: other night we actually haven't left city limits since Christmas.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so over you break?
Speaker 4: Yeah, really looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: What about yourself?
Speaker 1: Well, tomorrow, Sarah and I am celebrating seven years of
Speaker 1: the show. We're having if you ask me, I prefer
Speaker 1: a long lunch too. Didn't even agree. It's just the
Speaker 1: best long lunch. So a long lunch and then on Monday.
Speaker 1: I am a des fan. I've been every year since
Speaker 1: we here. God of the King's Birthday game. What's looking
Speaker 1: forward to it? Two games ago? But if you saw
Speaker 1: the D's hopefully didn't see the d S smash by
Speaker 1: wait for Saints, then now you know I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: not looking forward to game, but I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: the occasion because actually what Neil Danaher has done the
Speaker 1: money that Mayn has raised. I think he was raised.
Speaker 1: He's one of the mos most incredible human beings in
Speaker 1: the world. So obviously we celebrated seven years of the
Speaker 1: show on Wednesday. So the first King's Birthday I went
Speaker 1: to I'd only been on air a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Hamis McLaughlin was working for the first year on the
Speaker 1: show as our kind of footy correspondent. He was initiating
Speaker 1: me into the great game, and he did a great
Speaker 1: jowe with a lovely guy. He said, look, come along
Speaker 1: and as you said to Neil Dan to her, you
Speaker 1: know you should really find out about this guy. So
Speaker 1: I met now Neil twenty eighteen on King's Birthday, and
Speaker 1: I met his beautiful daughter Beck as well. What was incredible.
Speaker 1: So for the next couple of hours I kept seeing
Speaker 1: Neil walking around everywhere, being with people non stop. I
Speaker 1: was exhausted, simply because we've done a breakfast show that day.
Speaker 1: Nil's incredible, unrelating energy was unbelievable. I couldn't believe the
Speaker 1: energy of the man. Oh incredible, and I really hope
Speaker 1: one day they find a cure. If they will, it
Speaker 1: would because because actually the money that that charity's raised
Speaker 1: and Nil's raised and their whole team there has actually
Speaker 1: is pioneering the research. No one does it more around
Speaker 1: the world than Melbourne. It's all been driven out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I really hope they find a cure one day, and
Speaker 1: it because of what Neil Danna has done. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a legacy that man already had in an amazing career.
Speaker 1: But then to get that diagnosis and to have a
Speaker 1: choice about how's he going to be? I don't know
Speaker 1: if I would who knows if anything tested like that,
Speaker 1: how you would respond? But is an incredible man Neil Donah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I would like that. It's just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so Big Freeze is good fun. It's such
Speaker 1: an institution now, isn't it. If were going down the
Speaker 1: side and that, it's a really good day. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. You actually need to be someone
Speaker 1: well known. They don't sound random. Mum Christian one of
Speaker 1: the facts said, too many at lunch took a wrong turning,
Speaker 1: so and next thing's going down a slide.
Speaker 4: Already got he picked out. You could go as Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1: Has anyone done that in these ten or eleven.
Speaker 4: Years Benny Mercury.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think of Bruce.
Speaker 1: I tell you who did one of the best ones.
Speaker 1: I think the last year was Eric Banners. What was that?
Speaker 1: He can't remember what he did, but I all remember
Speaker 1: he was very funny. He made a joke about nuts
Speaker 1: and that is all you need to win this fifty
Speaker 1: two year old child over all right, this play a song.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we get into this week's Double
Speaker 1: Thumbs Up Christian O'Connell Show, Gone podcast. It's the Christian
Speaker 1: O'Connell show. Were doing Double thumbs Up now every Friday
Speaker 1: we go around the team that's me, Rio and Pat
Speaker 1: to talk about the things that we're enjoying this week.
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for new TV shows, documentaries, or movies,
Speaker 1: listen up. We've got some recommendations. All right, couple from
Speaker 1: me finished watching Manhunts, Oh God for Bin Larden. This
Speaker 1: is a three part document mentory. I was slightly cautious
Speaker 1: about watching it because I thought would be a very
Speaker 1: gung ho thank you America for Safe. It's not that
Speaker 1: at all. It's an incredibly well made and what really
Speaker 1: makes it brilliant and original is it's footage with all
Speaker 1: the CIA insiders who spent over ten years, you know,
Speaker 1: two different decades, had spanned over painstakingly researching and never
Speaker 1: ever giving up, hoping that one day justice would be
Speaker 1: served on Bin Larden and it happened. And they've even
Speaker 1: got interviews with Rob Wilson, who was the swat guy,
Speaker 1: who the Navy seal that shot beIN Larden and what
Speaker 1: a great storyteller he is. It is gripping stuff and
Speaker 1: actually at the end it's actually quite a sad ending.
Speaker 1: You know, they talk about, yes, justice was served, but
Speaker 1: at what costs? So many people lost their lives. It's
Speaker 1: actually quite sad times it mind me, of all the
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks we had in London, the London terrorist attacks
Speaker 1: in two thousands and all the people that lost their
Speaker 1: lives there. So it's actually quite sat times. But it's
Speaker 1: a moment in our history and it is so well made.
Speaker 1: The ending is actually very moving, isn't it.
Speaker 3: And it's thrilling, like it is a documentary with no
Speaker 3: narrator and my part, you know, how it ends.
Speaker 1: The last episode is actually is the twenty two minutes.
Speaker 1: That's what it was from when they started repelling down
Speaker 1: to helicopters and tour they shot him as twenty two
Speaker 1: minutes and you're watching it and you've got goosebumps, you
Speaker 1: can't be breathe.
Speaker 2: Yes, I.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize one of the Blackhawks crashed.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, kidding no, and they just carried on.
Speaker 1: Yes, improvised, and so much chaos happened that they just
Speaker 1: have to deal with that. We didn't know. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: on Netflix. It's called Manhunt. Can't recommend that enough. Another
Speaker 1: thing that's on a completely different thing is a new
Speaker 1: Own Wilson comedy called Stix. It's a golf comedy. I've
Speaker 1: seen the whole season. It's just started this week. It
Speaker 1: is very fun. It's a TV shirt yeah for our episodes.
Speaker 1: I love Own Wilson. I wish him and Vince More
Speaker 1: would do more movies together. Yes, wedding crashes. I was
Speaker 1: hoping it was going to be a series of movies
Speaker 1: with differences, because I thought those two were just gold
Speaker 1: to the other cinemat to god, they're so good. Owen
Speaker 1: Wilson here, it's back in a comedy show. It's very funny.
Speaker 1: He's a washed out golf instructor. He finds some young prodigie.
Speaker 1: It's really funny. Sticks is very good. That's on Apple TV. Rhea,
Speaker 1: what are you enjoying?
Speaker 3: I watched the Australian Story on Monday night for Ange
Speaker 3: posta Coogloo.
Speaker 1: I've got that saved, as we used to say back
Speaker 1: in the day, got it on my VHS tape. So
Speaker 1: watch over the weekends.
Speaker 2: I urge you to watch it.
Speaker 3: It'll make you proud to be Australian because what he's achieved,
Speaker 3: and it's.
Speaker 2: Flown under the radar.
Speaker 1: Hardest league in the world with one of the worst
Speaker 1: team of chokers as well, Tottenham.
Speaker 3: Yes, such a long history, haven't won a European trophy
Speaker 3: in forty years. He takes them over, this's never been
Speaker 3: an Australian coach in the EPL.
Speaker 2: Takes them over.
Speaker 3: And they are doing terribly last year there almost bottom
Speaker 3: of the table, almost being relegated.
Speaker 2: He's a laughing stock.
Speaker 3: And then he says in the bottom of their bottom
Speaker 3: he says, I always win a trophy in my second
Speaker 3: year and he's.
Speaker 1: He did it. It's an amazing story. You should be
Speaker 1: and Andngre is an incredible character as well. And that
Speaker 1: is the hardest, most brutal league in the in the world.
Speaker 1: The epl the richest one, but the hardest one. He's
Speaker 1: had a really tough two years. Plus there's no guarantee
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get fired in the next week.
Speaker 2: Yes, he still might get fired.
Speaker 1: Daniel Levy has fired so many managers are they just
Speaker 1: it's brutal And is a great guy. He's got a
Speaker 1: lot of dignity and integrity as well. Even if he
Speaker 1: does get fired as well, he'll go into another top
Speaker 1: job in Europe. Tell you what those lads play for.
Speaker 1: Ang is very very clear and he's brilliant the press conferences.
Speaker 1: He's a crumpy old man. Yes, the poor guy should
Speaker 1: put up with these relentless dumb questions in the UK sports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't suffer any fool It's from pren you know,
Speaker 3: grew up in Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really right, So it's a good watch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great watch, really moving and a story
Speaker 3: that just doesn't get told on him.
