Australian radio.

that every.

wine tasting tour.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Oh wow, we booked.

loads of the randos, but I find them fascinating because

looking forward to it. Yeah, it's a gorgeous place. Task

God on a four point three Friday morning. It's a
Christian O'Connell show, So have you Friday. The first half
hour the show, we go around the team. We talk
about the things that we've enjoyed this week. Because this
is the sorry to say there's a large show of
the year. We're going to talk about the favorite things
we've enjoyed the most this year. Patsy, you kick asof
what have you enjoyed?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
This is really hard because there's been so many great
moments of twenty twenty four. But on Stan the other night,
actually we watch Nugget Is Dead.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's Getting High.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Christmas film, Ouzsie Christmas Film, and it's a bit it's
a bit like our version of National Lampoons Christmas. It's very,
very funny, but it's also got a beautiful message of
I don't know, of love and of the family unit.
And even though we're all quirky in our own ways,
and you know, December twenty five sometimes can be really
stressful for families, there's just this underlying joy of just
(04:43):
everyone being together and being themselves. So we loved it.
That's on Stan and the other thing that they've just
brought out this week, we got right into ten Pound Poems,
which was a brilliant seer.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Sure she really good? That?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, it's beautifully mate. Stephen Curry's in it. The Ausiacta
and they've just leaks sort of preview teasers photos of
Sirius two which is going to drop next year. So
I'm really really looking for.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Your recommendation is to look at some photos of what
might become.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I tell you what, guys, what I really love is
Stills Robins. What some Sillers have you seen? Glenn about
forthcoming features?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
No, it's got a new family. New Irish family comes
into this series.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Photos just add it to my game.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
One of my albums, Seriously.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Broke. It only took a year.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
My favorite book of the year has to be Kathy
Lett's Husband Replacement Therapy. I've been burning through any possible
book that mentions perrymnopause or menopause because of the podcast
that I've done this year, Rage Against the Menopause on
the iHeart.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I got one.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I got a recommendation for you. Yeah, did in her
book club All Fours by Miranda July.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Miranda very good.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I need a book. Yeah, it's incredible, beautiful, I will
get that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
But this is good, pretty steamy.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Live right in my alley.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No, but right up the all.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Look the other way, the bus coming.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
But this book's great because you know, menopause can be
a bit of a mess with your head, so to
look at it in a comedic.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I just find the best way to book is look
at the front cover.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
On it's so funny. So Kathy led of course, is
in episode nine and ten of my podcast and she
was hilarious as she always is.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
She was great.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
She's such absolutely adore her.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And the crush on the pod this year as well.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Thank you absolutely. I've got to say I've absolutely loved it.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You've got to come back such a big impr.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I'm looking at series two and where that's going to go,
and of course we're going live with it just for
a couple of dates, so fun next year. So I'm
really really enthusiastic about it and I love it. I
just feel the love and the support. It's been beautiful.
And the movies we did see earlier in the week,
the preview of Mowana Too, which has been doing amazing things,
(07:15):
so take it with the kids, go and see it.
Paddington three as well.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Oh don't worry, I will be going to see that.
Paddington was in my top five of movies.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I even seen Paddington's Cordial.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
A great movie. Yeah, Oh it's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So I think he goes back to Peru one and
it's seriously it's beautiful. It's so gorgeous. But yeah, Mowana
has been doing even before it opened at the cinemas
in the previews. In the US box office, it's done
like fourteen million US just earlier in the week, So
it's going I think it's going to be massive.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I hear what they've done. Sped up stills.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Movies has a series of many, many stills, back to back,
created moving.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
But there's a beautiful line in Mawana where because you
know she's she's no, she's one of the it's one
of the Disney movies where she's not a princess. She's
kind of like just a commoner. Moan is the daughter
of the No, she's not a princess.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But she's the daughter of the chief.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
And she's not a princess.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
She's pointing at you. Now she's going to you.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And by the end of this it's beautiful because the
people jack.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The whole story.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
She's meant to be the next chief.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
It's just not a princess. I'm telling you, she's not
a princess. Anyway. There's a line where Maui says to her,
but everyone thinks you're a princess and she says, but
I'm actually not and he's a bit weaking it now.
It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful, go and see it.
So that's my top three. It was hard.

I can't wait. Bianca hasn't seen it yet either. Comes
out Boxing Day in Australia and I'm going to take
her and go and see Sit again. And for me
to sit through a movie again is very rare.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So this is a Robbie Williamspyo Pete Robby says, is
actually better than Rocketman and Behemin.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And Bahemian Rhapsody. Yes, he is a monkey in it
sounds ridiculous, but it is so good and so original.
