iHeart podcasts. You can hear more Gold one I four
point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the free
iHeart app. Got anything good? Hey, this is the Christian
O'Connell show podcast. Now head a long weekend, there so
many things to go and see and watch. Every Friday
(00:31):
on the show we do a thing called double thumbs up,
and over the long weekend, families getting together. You'll all
be gathering out around the couch. You confronted with way
too much choice. There's too much choice. You don't know what,
you don't know what to watch, and so that's what
we do double thumbs up. For me, it's still on
the cinema. I earned you go and see at the
cinema because that's where it really. It needs a big
room because we're talking about a big talent. We're talking
(00:53):
about Elvis Presley, the Baslam movie. Elvis was bull in
a couple of years ago. But he's found the sixty
boxes of unseen footage of Elvis live in constantly stitched
together forensically. This live performance. You see Elvis performing and
and also rehearsing as well. Us how hard he worked
with that the world's greatest backup band as well. It's
(01:13):
called epic Elvis Presley Live in concert. I can't recommend
you go and see that enough and only be on
for another week or two. It's one of those things
where you do not need to be a big Elvis fan.
It's the joy in someone who is just so amazingly
good and live to perform as well, and it reminds
you just one amazing voice he had. He doesn't get
enough credit. There was such a big circus around Elvis
(01:35):
his whole life, especially how it ended as well. That's
the story of Elvis. It's just the tragedy, not the talent.
My god, that voice. I haven't stopped listening to Elvis
this week. I love that. My wife said, are you
going through on Elvis revival went? I just felt like
I got to really experience one of us must have
been like to see him live and forget about the
historics and everything else. Just what a singular talent, which
(01:57):
also leads me to the next thing I'm giving a
double thumbs up to that I watched last night. I
love a sports documentary, and the really great ones will
draw you in because it's about us what it is
to be huge. The Senate documentary is one of my
all time favorite movies. Also, When We were Kings of
Hummadali one is incredible. Last dance I'm rewatching for the
(02:18):
third time. I love that it did. I draw power
from it. But anyway, the thing I watched last night,
my wife came halfway through and was like, I'm not
a big golf fan. And then I found her. She
sat down the couch an hour later and what happened
to that big golf fan? You've been watching this for
an hour. It's the Rory McElroy documentary about him finally
getting the US Masters. The Master's Weight is his story.
(02:40):
It goes through the whole everything he did on the
final nine, the highs and the lows, takes you through
all the chokes he's had, not winning a major in
twelve years. Commentators talking about him, all the crashing loaves
him as a kid on TV shows when he was five,
his brother talking about how you know they shared a
bedroom growing up together in Ireland. Mum and dad were
(03:02):
working class and his brother would fall to sleep holding
that golf club in his hands where he just wanted
to that motion to something at a young age and
kept saying that he was going to win all the
and then his mum and dad. You know, it takes
a family to really really get behind a kid who's
got this, this supernatural talent. His dad worked a ninety
hour week, he had three jobs for eight years. Oh
(03:24):
my gosh. And I was watching that, and so the
dad worked during the day, the mum worked during the night.
So between the mom and dad were working twenty four
hours a day to back him. Because it just takes that,
you know, to fly your kid around the world, and
you're you're working class Northern Irish family. I was watching
that thinking, thank god, neither my daughters were good at sport.
The thought of working a ninety hour week brought me
(03:45):
out in a rash team. Wait this, ninety hours in
the week sixty nine, find a breakfast show, get some
of the Irish Carl and Jackie Oh money, Jackie olshe
so yeah. Rory mclory the documentary The Master's Way, cannot
recommend that enough. What an uplifting story. You've been tears
(04:05):
at the end when he wins it, you feel like
it's a win as well. I don't know how, but
it just did. Eat my Dorito's and a glass of
red wine. Yessay, I jumped up. When he finally when
he just collapses to the floor, you've seen iconic image.
It's something like when Muhammad Ali on those iconic sports
shots when an Ali has stood over sunny liston, sprawled
on the canvas and he's just like dropped him and
(04:26):
walked off. There's that shot and Rory clapsed into his
knees where there's no words. You get what he's feeling
in that moment. Cannot recommend enough that is on Amazon
Prime RIEA. What's your double thumbs.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Up, Aaron Chen, He's got a Netflix.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
R stand up. Yes, love his delivery just gets straight
into it. Yes, he's built for comedies in the way
he looks. Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But also it's amazing to see someone like him. So
he's an ausie comedian.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's a big global megastar.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Now he's just a kid from Hornsby and Sydney who
sort of just was doing Sydney pubs. And then he's
on Fisk. If anyone's watched good really good show or
Guy mont Gurry's gone Maurice spelling Bee. Then he blew
up a couple of years ago when he went on
Late Night with Seth Myers, and he did this brilliant
and now it's incredible to see because he's just this,
(05:11):
you know, small little Asian kid with messy.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Homegrown talent story.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yes, yes, he just sort of shuffles around the stage.
He's very awkward, but he's so so funny and now
he's got a proper us Netflix special. It's filmed in
New York. To see someone like that on that stage
and this moment is so cool and something. He's got
a real ossy sense of humor as well, so it's
really great to watch that very understated, quiet, ossie dry,
(05:40):
very very dry sense of humor. To make it on
the big stage in America is so cool.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He's a careless stand up as well. Okay, so what's
the special coolness on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, on Netflix, it's called Funny Garden.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
