My Mom and My father in law would LOVE this. Sadly both have passed.
My Grammie and my Stepmom both loved him. They'd both enjoy that documentary, too. We used to have an annual Halloween party at my dad's house in Charleston, and my stepmom would bust out the karaoke box, and everybody sang, it's a requirement for attending. She used to sing a lot of Elvis songs. I've sang my fair share, but I'm also sang the Gilligan's Island theme song, my greatest karaoke moment.

A short documentary about a $200M tomato farm. Pretty amazing facility. Apparently this one farm is around 15% of Australia's truss tomato production annually.

I don’t think people who weren’t there at the time can truly appreciate what a monumental feat this was. A group of young American players going up against the Soviet machine.
They weren’t supposed to even be competitive. This wasn’t an underdog story like “slightly worse team wins.” It was “no realistic path to victory” territory.
That iron coach drilled his team like never before, and it paid off. They had the stamina, skill, and sheer determination to give everything they had against an almost almighty adversary and they pulled it off.
