7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, dear

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: podcast Fanbam. So this will be the first diary episode

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: of the year. I've got a lot to update you on,

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: well not to update you on. I've got book review,

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: I've got movie review, I've got TV show review. And

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: as I told you, for the new year, I really

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: wanted to make January just a month where I kind

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: of like get back to self care, looking after myself

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: health and feeling good again. I loved December and just

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: like having all the treats, like having so many social things,

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: going out for lunches and having boozy kind of meals

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I think by the end

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: of the year, I was like, oh, I'm ready to

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: just kind of like give back to myself and start

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: and really do a lot of the things that I love.

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: So when I say like January is a month of health,

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: by no means my talking about going on some restrictive

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: diet or anything like that. It's just a month of

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: like giving back to myself. Also, I go to Los

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Angeles in feb So I want to go to LA

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: just feeling really clear mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. So I've

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: got therapy every second week all in the lead up.

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I always go every second week anyway, and just all

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: the things that kind of make me feel good. So

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to share share some of that with you too,

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: So I might start with that stuff, so wellness and

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: health and general well being wise, I just decided, I

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: said to Matt. I was like, I am a sugar monster,

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: which I am, Like sweetness is my absolute weakness. And

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: I just said, look, I want to feel really good.

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: We're in Byron Bay, you know what I mean, Like

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: we pretty much live in the capital of health retreats

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: in Australia. So I just decided, I said to Matt,

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to need your help, but jan one, I

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: really want to feel good, like feel like I'm starting

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: to look after myself and making my health a priority

43
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and The goal is to feel good. Sure, great, if

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: i feel like I'm holding less fluid and stuff like that, brilliant,

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: But it's really about feeling clear. That's my whole goal

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: with this. So I made sure I've done some form

47
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: of movement every day, whether it's a lighty. So a

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: lighty is the famous Byron Bay Lighthouse Walk beautiful. If

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: you're in town, you have to do it. It's so gorgeous

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I have seen. I've done lighty twice now in the

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: last week, and both times I've seen turtles and pods

52
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: at dolphins, So highly recommend it. It's like a free

53
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: trip to a nature adventure park. It's you see some

54
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: much wildlife. So I've done two lighties, and then obviously

55
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: I've gone back to Beautiful Peaches, which is a pilate

56
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: studio in Barron Bay as well, and I love it there.

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: And then our good friend Duncan pave Ironen, who I've

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: had on this pod before. Fun fact, Duncan and I

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: were going to run a yoga retreat together but COVID

60
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: put a swift stop to that before it could happen.

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: Were so excited to work together though, but Duncan has

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: recently opened his own yoga studio in mull and Bimbi,

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: so Bosco and I have done a Duncan class, which

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: was so nice. I haven't practiced much yoga in Byron

65
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: really and I feel like, you know, yogs is my training,

66
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm a trained yoga teacher. I've done my two

67
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: hundred hour teach training at Power Living and then I

68
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: did a three hundred hour training with Duncan. So it

69
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: was kind of nice to go back to his class

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: because that was reminded me of all my teacher training.

71
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: He's a wonderful teacher. He's Canadian and very very funny.

72
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Well he's now Australian as well, actually, but his accent

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: is Canadian and it's just a strong Vignya saana and

74
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, and you're just like, oh, I love. Like

75
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: what I love about vinyasa, which is a style of

76
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: yogs is it really connects the body to breath. So anyway,

77
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: that was great, and it's called Heart of Vignyasaan. It's

78
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: in Mullum Bimbi. If you ever in town, so if

79
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: you need pilates, head to Peachers, which is right next

80
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: to Rody, which is a famous cafe in Byron Bay

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and if you want some ripper yogs Ho or Heart

82
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: of Vinyasa in Mullum, you're sorted. So we've done Corb

83
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: like lots of different movement stuff in Boss and I've

84
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: been like, let's just do movement every day. And then

85
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: we've still got Dad in town and Dad's obviously got

86
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: Chet the doggo. So I've been trying to do a

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: walk with Dad if I haven't walked that day kind

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: of thing, and so we've been doing like Avo walks.

89
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Got a Navo walk date with him today. So yeah,

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I think I think the movement is really important for me.

91
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: The thing that I'm still struggling with is getting up early.

92
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Today was the first time, So it's what the sixth

00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: was today, and I'm gonna be really honest with you.

97
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: I got home and had a nap at like seven

98
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,479

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do all the all the health

104
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: and wellness things that made me feel good. I will

105
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: say on New Year's Eve, Boss made this incredible white

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: chocolate cheesecake with a ginger snap gluten free ginger snap

107
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: bas like Bickie Bray Bass, and then he put he

108
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: made a fresh from scratch passion fruit coolly and it

109
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: was so, so so good. So I had to use

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: all my self control not to have it on the

111
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: first of January because I was like, oh, please, can't

112
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I just have like a piece? And He's like, you

113
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: absolutely cannot. You said. He's like, you asked me to

114
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: hold you accountable. I am holding you accountable. You've asked

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: to go off the sugars. You're going off the sugars

116
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: and dairy. And I was like, okay, okay, okay. See

117
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: he's been fantastic. He's held me really really accountable and

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: just kind of like been there when I feel like

119
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm sliding. Fun hacks fun health hacks if you're interested

120
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: in them, like I still love sweet stuff. So if

121
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm really craving sweet stuff, I've noticed I make sure

122
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: that my fats are quite high. I've been cooking with

123
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: ghee after interviewing Dylan, the Aevedic practitioner, who you wouldn't

124
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: have heard that episode yet it's not out, but he

125
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: left me a big thing of gee, and so I've

126
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: been cooking with ghee. So if I up my fats,

127
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I notice I'm craving sugar less. And then if I'm

128
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: really still hankering, a lad sweet potato to the veggie

129
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: mix in the night. And then the other trick is berries.

130
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: So i didn't even eat a four pun out of berries,

131
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: no props, just as a snack, but I'm noticing that

132
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: it's like helping with the sweetness hankering. I'm also taking

133
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: a green powder. I have some left over liver herbs

134
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: from when my natural path helped me through the post

135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: IVF stuff. So to help get rid of the hormones

136
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot, she put me on like a really intense

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: detox and it was detox powders. But then there was

138
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: also like herbal mentioned in natural pasts, so she can

139
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: prescribe herbs, which I can't be a nutritionist. I'm a

140
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: bit more we can prescribe supplements as nutritionists. Anyway, I

141
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: had some of these. I accidentally two of everything when

142
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: she told me to order it, and so I have

143
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: all these liver herbs leftover, so I've been taking them

144
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: as well. But I will say I'm breaking out, and

145
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: so I don't know if that's because leftover hormones. I've

146
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: only had one period since the IBF stuff, or if

147
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: that's because I'm detoxing and I have I was gonna

148
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: you kind of even I can't even give you that

149
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: asm mar for it. But I have a digestion tea

150
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: here that I am sipping on whilst talking to you

151
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: lovely people. So yeah, just trying and just trying to

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: up the water. I wasn't having enough water in my diet.

153
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: And I'm also at nighttime now, so usually Boss and

154
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: I only watch something we'll have like a nighttime tea,

155
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: and we've run out of nighttime tea. But what I've

156
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: been doing at nighttime is actually having a just a

157
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: cup of hot water, which again is like an A

158
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: of eighty trick I learned from Dylan. I can't wait

159
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: for that to come out. I'm gonna have to bring

160
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: it out soon because I think you'll just learn so

161
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: much from him. And yeah, I love traditional Indian medicine too,

162
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: really cool. And I've been doing tongue scraping first thing

163
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: in the morning, which is also an ave adic practice,

164
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: and Bosco is doing that as well. So you've got

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: you wake up, You've got a three minute window and

166
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: then you start your tongue scrape and then you go

167
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: about your day kind of thing. But it's really easy

168
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: to lie in bed past three minutes because think about it,

169
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: we usually roll over, have a bit of a cuddle,

170
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: check our phones, all that kind of thing, and I'm like, no, no,

171
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: I've got to get up and quickly tongue scrape. So yeah,

172
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: that is the health staff try and probably I probably

173
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: need to like get the sleep stuff a bit better sort.

174
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: It's very hot here environ at the moment, so I've

175
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: been waking up sweating. I run hot. I think I'm

176
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: going to try and get into acupunction next week too,

177
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: because that helps when I overheat and it helps me

178
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: when I'm trying to you know, do a bit of detoxification.

179
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: So that's it. I'm one week in. The only real

180
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: change in all honesty that I've made is like I've

181
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: got no sugar and no dairy and definitely no gluten,

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: which I've stayed away from for most of the holiday season,

183
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: but it's still snuck in when I had like some

184
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: of a Boss's panaton there, or I saw in Fruitman Spi

185
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: that I just had to try even if it's not

186
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: gluten free. We also took Dad to that incredible Italian

187
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: place called The Hut, which I think I've spoken to

188
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: you about, but it's a beautiful foody restaurant called The Hut,

189
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: which brings me to Monday's episode. So Monday coming out,

190
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually doing a it's a couple of parts, but

191
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: it's a travel special. And so the first travel special

192
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: EPP is going to be on Byron Bay and it's

193
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: literally going to be like all the places to go

194
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: for food, all the places to go to for drinks,

195
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the best coffee spots, the best yoga polates movements, was

196
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: all the places that I've been to and road tested

197
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: and absolutely loved. And I'm going to be like honest

198
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: with you, and I'll be yeah, straight up with you

199
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,360

00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: things like when Boss and I go to Peaches, we

00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: love to go and sit and get you know, coffees

202
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: at roadhouse after because you can kind of like piggyback

203
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: things on, or you know, meet someone out for lunch

204
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: but sneaky yoags in before or something, you know. So

205
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a travel special. It's going to

206
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: be I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a three week series.

207
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: But episode one next Monday is going to be your

208
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Byron Bay Guide, and the episode after that is going

209
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: to be Los Angeles, which I feel like I've got

210
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a vibe of LA now having done

211
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: it for the last two You lived half there for

212
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the last two years, but in LA is big, so

213
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss anything. So I might have

214
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: to call upon some of my friends in LA to

215
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: get some really make sure I don't miss any beats.

216
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: But Byron Monday gotcha covered. So if you've got any

217
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: trips coming up to Byron Bay, that is going to

218
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: be the episode. You don't need to go through all

219
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: the diaries to get all the little tipbits. I'm going

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: to cover it all. Hikes everything, hikes for food, coffee.

221
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna say champagne. I don't drink champagne cocktails

222
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: like all the yummy places to go, but also like

223
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: all the cool hiking and trail places and stuff off

224
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: the beaten track and all that kind of thing. Right, Oh,

225
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: review time, Boss and I watched Emily in Paris. Bosses

226
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: really into Emily in Paris, and I figured out because

227
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I was in LA. I don't think I watched season two,

228
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: but I picked up the gist of it pretty quickly

229
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: watching with Boss. I love the fashion. I love that

230
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: it's light. I love that it's fun and easy. But

231
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: Boss like fully gets in. He's gonna kill me for

232
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: saying that. Fully gets probably gets into it more than me.

233
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: Fun real f I'm real. So we finished that. That

234
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: was just an easy watch. I would have given it

235
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: like seven out of ten. It's just easy watching fun light.

236
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: All the characters look incredible. They're all decked out, dripping

237
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: in fashion like phenomenal. And this is not a spoiler.

238
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: I didn't love the ending. Didn't love the ending. It

239
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: obviously at the end of an episode, the end of

240
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: a season is usually some kind of cliffhangerut, which it was,

241
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: but I was like I needed a bit more. So

242
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: that's my only gripe. The other thing that we've watched

243
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: this is a movie. It's on Netflix at the moment.

244
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: It's called Edge of Tomorrow. Now. The reason why I

245
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: watch it is because I listened to a podcast called SmartLess,

246
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: which you probably know about. It is where it's hosted

247
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Ryan I think

248
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: his name is Sean Hayes. Sean Hayes off Will and Grace,

249
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: and they interviewed Emily Blunt and so I was really

250
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: really excited to watch Edge of Tomorrow after listening to

251
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: that podcast episode because she says a funny story in

252
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: this movie, She's got to wear like this almost robotic

253
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: armor and it's really heavy, and she told a funny

254
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: story of her and Tom both putting on all this

255
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: armor and gear and she started to tear up because

256
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: it was so heavy, and he said, she said, he

257
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: just looked at her and was like nodding, I know,

258
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: I know. And she got more of all worked out

259
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: when started crying and he's like, listen, just stop being

260
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: a fucking pussy, you know, but like in a very

261
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: encouraging and funny way. So Also, that's a great pod

262
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: to listen to if you want a great I mean,

263
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: all the episodes are fantastic, but that Emily Blunt one

264
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I found really interesting and really cool and talks about

265
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: making it from her life literally changing overnight when devils

266
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Pride came out and she was like, she was sleep

267
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: she was sleeping in some produce like one of the

268
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: producers like pool House and minding their kids during the

269
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: day to pay for rent and that's how and then

270
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Devil wes Pridor happened and next minute she was, yeah,

271
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: getting noticed at the coffee shop. But that's a fun

272
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: listen so SmartLess Emily Blunt episode, but that's what led

273
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: us to watch Edge of Tomorrow, which is like a

274
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: futurist I don't know what you would It's a I

275
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: guess action movie with Tom Cruise and her, and it's fantastic.

276
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: It's really good. It's really like you're in it, and yeah,

277
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Matt was like you sure you. He's like, I didn't

278
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: think you'd like this kind of thing about Matt's watch

279
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: it like fifteen times and loves it. And to be honest,

280
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: I just loved it. I thought it was awesome. Also,

281
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: Matt had a dinner the other night and I was

282
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: home alone, so I watched a movie also on Netflix

283
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: called Luckiest Girl Alive. I feel like it's been on

284
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Netflix for a couple of months now. It's got Midlerkuna's

285
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: in it, and it actually I didn't realize it was

286
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: about this, but it looks at sexual abuse and like

287
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: not speaking up about it at the time, and then

288
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: her as an adult, she you know, deciding whether to

289
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: speak up about it or not. And it's kind of

290
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: like her her life and you know, the I guess,

291
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: the choice of like really living what she feels to

292
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: be true and versus the life that she'd work so

293
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: hard to build kind of thing. Really cool. I really

294
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It's got that act. The person that plays

295
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: her husband is a really great actor. I think his

296
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: name's Finn something and he's in a lot of Ryan

297
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Murphy's things. Anyway, he and very handsome. Anyway, luck It's

298
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: Girl Live. I liked it. It's an easy watch and

299
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: it's really makes you think, and it's I like, like,

300
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: that's what I loved about promising young women. I think

301
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: that came out last this time last year, and that

302
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: was with Kerry Mulligan and Bo Burnham, and that looks

303
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: at a similar topic of like young College Girl. I

304
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: think both had been in both plots of being gang raped.

305
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm giving any of that away. And

306
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: then like as far as plots go, and then like

307
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the in both movies, like it's the women as their

308
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: adult lot, in their adult life facing it so to speak.

309
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: See that sounds like a very heavy topic just then,

310
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: I know, but I found both movies really good. I

311
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: love Promising a Young Woman too, and I love the

312
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: soundtrack of Promising Young Woman. It's fantastic. And I have

313
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: a book review for you too, also looking forward to

314
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: seeing Avatar trying to convince Dad to come with me

315
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: while he's here. So as you know last time I

316
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: reviewed for you, Hang, I'm gonna have a little sup

317
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: of my tea one sec made it specially and I

318
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: haven't even had it. I'll make sure I do a

319
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: little like swallow, not swallow like that sound I used

320
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: to could not stand. Mike's boyfriend used to do it,

321
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: and he's like it so only why I know how

322
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: to drink tea, And I'm like, that is so funny. Anyway,

323
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: I'd digress. Okay, last week I talked to you about

324
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, and I binged

325
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: it and now I then read It Starts with Us.

326
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: So it's a really easy read you can read in

327
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: one day if you onto. This is more through Atlas's

328
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: POV or point of view, and through the lead character

329
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Shivers what's her name, Lily? So in It Ends with Us,

330
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: it's all pretty much through Lily's perspective, and it tackles

331
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: domestic violence. And then how's that That's what I watched

332
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: the movie of and not well, a bit different, but

333
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a theme going on here today anyway.

334
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: And then in this second one, it's more of a

335
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: love story and it still tackles the same issues because

336
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: the same characters are involved, but you get to see

337
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: the perspective of her now her partner, and so it's

338
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: really cool to yeah, see, it's like a bit more heartfelt.

339
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: The first one is like, you know, you can feel

340
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: the red flags and the narcissism as you're reading the

341
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: first one, whereas the second one feels like a much

342
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: healthier read as far as like where the lead character

343
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: is at. And then I've also bought Ugly Love, which

344
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I've heard is a goodie. I'm but I'm also writing

345
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: a nonfiction book at the moment as well about sound

346
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: and I'm really enjoying it. It's just a slower read

347
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: because you know, it's not like Binge and Hooky like fiction.

348
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: So I really want to get the nonfiction one in

349
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to read Ugly Love. So hopefully

350
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: I can get the nonfiction one finished for you for

351
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: next week's diary episode. So that's me, Gang, that is me.

352
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: I've been podcasting. I've had great podcasts on so we're

353
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: getting all the episodes set up for the new year.

354
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: There's also going to be I'm sure I've already told

355
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: you a fertility special as well in the new year,

356
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: so we've got lots of still got to do our

357
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: final episode of that of the IVF experience. In fact,

358
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: how interesting is this? Yesterday I got my blood test result.

359
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: There's a blood test you can do pre going into

360
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: all the IVF stuff called a carrier type blood test,

361
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: and it's things were do be your genetics and chromosomes,

362
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: and it's I think it tells you if there's any

363
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: like genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. Right. Anyway, we got that

364
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: blood test one in October ahead of doing the I

365
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: was injecting in November. The retrieval I think was early

366
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: December or maybe late November. Anyway, My point is we

367
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: were going to put off the IVF until we had

368
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: these blood tests, but the doctor was like, no, no,

369
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: you're allowed to do your IVF, but you've still to

370
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: get the blood test, and of course if they come

371
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: back with any abnormalities, well then potentially that IVF will

372
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: have been a waste because if they're genetically not right,

373
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: they're obviously not going to use them right and they're

374
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: not going to let you transfer them. So we were

375
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: a bit nervous, like we were running a bit of

376
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: a risk choosing to November. But I thought, shit, as

377
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: if I'm doing IVF in January and I fly to

378
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: LA in fair But I was just like, what if

379
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm still in the thick of it, which I think

380
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: I would have been, to be honest, like, I'm only

381
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: just starting to feel human again now, and that's me personally. Remember,

382
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: I reacted a little bit hyper to the hormones that

383
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: hyper stimulation, so probably some people bounce back quicker than

384
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: what I have and whatnot, so it's just from my perspective. Anyway,

385
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: yesterday we finally got the carrier type blood test back,

386
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: no abnormalities, all happy days. But you know, if that

387
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: came back different, we would have had to rethink the

388
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: IVF stuff. So yeah, it's interesting that it's quite a

389
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: long process like that took what twelve thirteen weeks to

390
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: get results back, and it's not normal. That's only for

391
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: that specific genetic testing. But there you go. Interesting. I'll

392
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: make sure I talk about that on the Fertility Pop

393
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: because there are so many different tests that you get

394
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: done and it can feel very overwhelming, but I figure

395
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: the more information that you've got for your health better.

396
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: All right, Gangles, that's me. That's that's a diary entry

397
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,880
