Speaker 1: Hi, it's Lucky Dip time. It's now Li's mom. Gee
Speaker 1: this there's your podcast yee the Hello, Hi, Hello, everyone,
Speaker 1: welcome to like a Dip episode. It is now, it
Speaker 1: is Monty and we are here today to give you
Speaker 1: just a random morsel of a podcast you nibble on
Speaker 1: with whatever you're doing. Yes, it usually pictures kind of
Speaker 1: a school pick up, like something just a film. This
Speaker 1: is a filler, it is.
Speaker 2: And it's also something that you can go back and
Speaker 2: listen to all the different ones because there is literally
Speaker 2: something for everyone.
Speaker 1: Oh there is, because they're random. It's a lucky dip.
Speaker 1: You never know what you're going to get. Just the
Speaker 1: other day, I was thinking, and I've spoken about this before,
Speaker 1: like I'm forty four, I'm like at the point in
Speaker 1: my life where I'm not done with my career, but
Speaker 1: my career is pivoting, and what does that pivot look like?
Speaker 1: And sometimes that fucking nasty voice is like, you're done,
Speaker 1: You're done. Everything is you know, it's too late to
Speaker 1: create anything, And and then other times I get really inspired.
Speaker 1: I'm like, now, fuck, no, I could do this or
Speaker 1: this or I'm going to do this, like I do
Speaker 1: know stuff is ahead I don't know what yet. I
Speaker 1: don't have the full buzz of going, oh, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a crack next to. But so
Speaker 1: I was looking at people who had success later in life.
Speaker 2: I love this.
Speaker 1: Yes, Now, when I say later in life, there's not
Speaker 1: that many that have done a huge amount after forty,
Speaker 1: like they're forties, I should say it is around then
Speaker 1: where they have their pivots and stuff. I know so,
Speaker 1: but it's not to say you can't create it anytime
Speaker 1: in your life. But these are people who are really
Speaker 1: successful that it took them later in life, yes, before
Speaker 1: they made anything of it. Okay, so we all know
Speaker 1: Vera Wang, who, on a side note, terrifies me. She's
Speaker 1: so unbelievably thin. I don't follow her, but she chops
Speaker 1: up in my feed sometimes she's I forget how old
Speaker 1: she is now, but she'd be close to eighty. I
Speaker 1: would say shit. Anyway. I don't follow Vira Wing, but
Speaker 1: she pops up on my Instagram feed a bit, and
Speaker 1: she's usually kind of dancing or just modeling something by
Speaker 1: her pool or whatever. She terrifies me like that, such
Speaker 1: an unhealthy woman. You can't look at her and go
Speaker 1: she's in a good mental headspace and she's seventy five.
Speaker 1: That's what terrifies me to you, and it's like, oh fuck,
Speaker 1: you're eating a body issues can follow you to your death.
Speaker 2: Like I'm really hopeful that when I get older, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna let myself blow out. Yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 2: just be just let myself eat all the cake, just
Speaker 2: hairy legs.
Speaker 1: And I just just think it with all low Nah.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it really works like that, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? You think, oh, yeah, now when
Speaker 1: I'm older, I won't care, but we definitely still care. Anyway.
Speaker 1: So before she became, you know, the head of the
Speaker 1: bridle in Just Street, she worked in fashion and she
Speaker 1: had a stint as a figure skater. So I shouldn't
Speaker 1: like talking about her body is obviously fucked. So she
Speaker 1: obviously has always had like, you know, an athletic body.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so she never made it big ice skating,
Speaker 1: but she did have a stint in it, so Faverra,
Speaker 1: it all started in nineteen eighty nine when she start
Speaker 1: when she designed her own wedding dress. I think she
Speaker 1: had a budget for herself of like ten grand or something.
Speaker 1: It was a lot and she designed her own and
Speaker 1: then she opened up her own bridlehouse in New York
Speaker 1: and she was shorty. Wow, so that's quite a lot
Speaker 1: older to start.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, but like what it's almost like why
Speaker 2: should it matter? Wouldn't you think the older you get, Yes,
Speaker 2: especially when you're talking about midlife, you're at that point
Speaker 2: where you've acquired so much knowledge, you.
Speaker 1: Stick find so much to your prime. Yes, But I
Speaker 1: do also think it's when you're younger with it, you know,
Speaker 1: and you've got kind of less going on, that's where
Speaker 1: and you've got your mojo to really get your hands dirty.
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to get my hands dirty anymore
Speaker 1: that much.
Speaker 2: Oh see, now's the time I feel like I want
Speaker 2: to get my hands dirty because I always worked, but
Speaker 2: I was fortunate enough to be able to work from home,
Speaker 2: but I stayed home with my kids. Yes, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I gave it all. Then now I'm like, oh, now's
Speaker 2: my time.
Speaker 1: Now's your time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of women are like that too,
Speaker 1: for sure. All right, Harland Sanders, did you know that
Speaker 1: was the colonel's name?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I did not know that. What a random name anyway,
Speaker 1: So he was a complete failure. Who got fired from
Speaker 1: dozens of jobs, like dozens, that's a lot of jobs
Speaker 1: to get fired from. Before he started a restaurant that failed,
Speaker 1: and then when he went out of business, he found
Speaker 1: himself broke at the age of sixty five. Shit broke
Speaker 1: at sixty five. But then things worked out and he
Speaker 1: started his first Kentucky fry and sold it as a
Speaker 1: franchise in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 2: Puck, that's too late.
Speaker 1: That's too late. You want to be chewing with the
Speaker 1: fucking pina colada in your hand, then to be starting
Speaker 1: a business. You want side spin offs maybe, but not
Speaker 1: the main fucking course. That's slight.
Speaker 2: Five. I have so much respect for people who because
Speaker 2: so many of the world's most successful people have failed
Speaker 2: time and time ago, time and time before they've cracked it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would like fail and then just stay down.
Speaker 1: Yes, same, Oh that didn't work, then mind, I'll give
Speaker 1: that up. The next couple are actors, Okay, So Samuel Jackson,
Speaker 1: he was forty six. He was in recovery from addiction
Speaker 1: to cocaine and heroin when he got that job alongside
Speaker 1: John Travolta in pulp fiction. Bullshit, that was like he's
Speaker 1: kind of make it roll like he's done bits and
Speaker 1: pieces before then and now he's gone on to do
Speaker 1: a bucket load of films. But yeah, hell, drag at it.
Speaker 2: I mean role to start off with that monologue, not monologue,
Speaker 2: but that Ezekiel twenty five or sixteen or whatever that
Speaker 2: he delivers before they assassinate that kid in pulp fiction
Speaker 2: is like such a perfect bit of acting.
Speaker 1: So he was really young when I saw that. All
Speaker 1: I remember is I want the blue Betty pancakes. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: And I just didn't really get it. I remember everybody did.
Speaker 1: I obsessed with it, and I remember going, yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were too at this, We were too young.
Speaker 1: And also how he had to stab John travolt had
Speaker 1: to stab Uma Thurman in her chest because she odeed
Speaker 1: like it was traumatic.
Speaker 2: Do you know they shot that in reverse? I think
Speaker 2: I've told you this before. They shot that scene in
Speaker 2: reverse because you know, he's got to bring it down
Speaker 2: onto her quickly, like he didn't want to hurt her.
Speaker 2: He was scared, so they shot it in reverse. Oh
Speaker 2: that's so coral.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love that. Good on you. Next one
Speaker 1: is Steve Carrall. Oh. He didn't have much success on
Speaker 1: screen until he was cast in The Forty year Old
Speaker 1: Virgin in two thousand.
Speaker 2: That's a funny movie.
Speaker 1: One of the best of all time. He was forty
Speaker 1: three that year. Was he forty three when he played
Speaker 1: that role. Yeah, And then he went on that year
Speaker 1: to also play Michael Scott on the US version of
Speaker 1: the Office.
Speaker 2: He's been so good in that He's had so many
Speaker 2: like iconic sort of roles where you could someone could
Speaker 2: be pigeonholed, like, oh, that's them forever, but he's gone.
Speaker 1: On any kind of thing. Yeah, because in What's the
Speaker 1: Morning Wars? He played a serious actor in that.
Speaker 2: That really upset me his role in that, because I
Speaker 2: hated him by the end of that, yeah, And I
Speaker 2: was like, oh no, but I really like him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that bit sleepy and stuff. But god, forty year
Speaker 1: Old Virgin. I'm going to rewatch that. I was gonna
