And also it's 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: been a week of self care. I think that I 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: mentioned to you last week that I've been trying to 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: get on top of my health post the IVF stuff. 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: Just when I say post IVF stuff. When I got 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: back from LA, my mental health was all around and 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: my physical health was all around, like getting as well 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: as I can from a fertility perspective for an egg collection, 19 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: which I feel like I did. I did everything I 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: could do natural path acupuncture, therapy, fertility specialist GP like 21 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: I really went all in with that and then post 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: so like especially December. Still, I think I did the 23 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: collection end of November early December. So it does take 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: they say three cycles, so three natural periods for you 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: to come good after IBF, and I've just had my 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: second so I've really been focusing on my health now. 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Little did I know until I did IBF, but I 28 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: had subclinical PCOS, which is subclinical just means you're not 29 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: at the stage where anyone would diagnose it, but you've 30 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: got a few of the tell tale signs. And looking 31 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: back over my younger adult years, I totally did like 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: I had really long cycles, you know, like between thirty 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: two and forty five day cycles like and I didn't 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: even know these were Like I'm a nutritionist, I should 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: have known, but I didn't even know these were signs 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: of PCOS. And things like I could eat really healthy 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: and exercise and do all the right things and not 38 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: feel like I could shift weight very well. Things like 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: that that I had no idea, but I just thought, oh, well, 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: that's just your body, you know. I kind of accepted it, 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: which I can't even believe I'm saying out lad. So 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: I think post the IV if I've been hyper aware 43 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: that there's been a bit of potential PCOS stuff, and 44 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: I think the hormones have also given it some juice, 45 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: so to speak, and so I've just been like really 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to get on top of it, really trying to 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: modulate my hormones. This week, I did acupuncture, I've been 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: to my GP, I've also been I've got my natural 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: path next week. You know, like I'm just doing all 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: the things that I can just feel awesome by the 51 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: time I go to LA because obviously, like we have 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: such beautiful, incredible health care in Australia and although I 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: will have health insurance in America, you know, when you've 54 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: just got your gang that you just really trust and 55 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: love and you want to work with. And so I'm 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: enjoying my gang here and I'm just really really focused 57 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: on self care and health right now. That said, I've 58 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: had a couple of birthdays as well, so in the week, 59 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: so I can talk to you about all the delicious 60 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: cocktails and cake and fun stuff that I got to 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: have as well. But my primary focus at the moment 62 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: is move the board, eat really well, feel really good, 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: lots of sleep, and just spend a lot of time 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: with Bossachenko because obviously I'm going back to lay in 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: a month in a month, and I'm going for a 66 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: fair while, you know, like I'll be there for most 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: of the year, obviously depending on work, Like if there's 68 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: some epic work gig in Australia, you can beat your 69 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: botom dollar or'll be back on a plane. But like, 70 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: I really want to give it a red hot crack 71 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: this year. I feel like the last two years, yes, 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: I've done that, but I've also been cutting my teeth, 73 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: like it is a city that takes a lot of 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: time to get the hang of, in my opinion, and 75 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: so now I'm just like I want to go over 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: so ready to spread my wings and fly and run 77 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: at everything. And I'm really into getting a voice manager. 78 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: That's my next girl, because I'm trained in it. I 79 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: don't know if I told you this, if you're new 80 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: to the pod. I live half in La and half 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: in bar and Bay, and the last six months I 82 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: was in La, I did so much voice running, Like 83 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking voiceover for commercial, voiceover for animation, voiceover for 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: video games. Video games is harder than you'd think, by 85 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: the way. Literally you've gotta be like grenade, grenade, do 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: you left? And then you've got to die in all 87 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: different ways because on video games sometimes you can be 88 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: shot or stabbed or whatever, and like there's a lot 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: of training around how a last breath would sound, which 90 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: is more but I know, incredibly fun when you're in 91 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: a room with strangers and vocalizing all different ways that 92 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: you could die in a video game. Anyway, I digress 93 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: from my stories, but yeah, so that's I just want 94 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: to go to LA, so raring to go, you know. 95 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: Hence why I'm on this like month of just like 96 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: giving back to myself and just kind of like really 97 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: just getting on top of all of my healthings. Like 98 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: even I've got a trip to Malves to see the 99 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: fan Bam before I go back to LA, and I've 100 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: booked my dentist you know. Of course, also in my 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: hair because I'm going brunette nowadays. I will say the 102 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: one thing about being brunette. A lot of people ask 103 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: me this on Insta. I love it, right, I love it. 104 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: But I'm naturally blonde and I'm thirty seven, so I've 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: got some gray hairs in there too. But when you 106 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: get regrowth with dark brown hair, if your regrowth is blonde, 107 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: and you've got gray in there, it just all looks gray, 108 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: like I literally look like my regrowth is all like 109 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: one hundred percent gray. It's interesting, it's interesting. Whereas with 110 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: blonde I could get away with like regrowth ver well 111 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: I did last year. I was in LA for six 112 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: months and I didn't get my head died once, So 113 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm loving being brunette, though, so I'm determined 114 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: to figure out how to. I'm sure there are those 115 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: like those little pins you can get just for coloring 116 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: in your roots, right, surely, hopefully if you know of any, 117 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: you tell me. Okay. The week that was celebrated a 118 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: lovely friend, Lara's birthday had the I cannot tell how 119 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: young the dinner was.

So what 172 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: they did, which this would still have sugar in a bit, 173 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: it's a good little hack. So when you buy the 174 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: little tin of light cheese, they pulled the light chees out, 175 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: so your little light chee in your cocktail cup and 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: then you get your shot of vodka. And then they 177 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: just put little shot of the light chea juice, which 178 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: obviously would have sugar in it, but like it's better 179 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: than making your own glucose syrup, you know. And that 180 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: was really really yummy and just yum delicious, so easy. 181 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: We tried two different vodkas. So I had one made 182 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: on Teetos, which is that American vodka that you can 183 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: literally buy targets in America, And then I had one 184 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: on It's the same brand that does Rocku Gin, which 185 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Boss and I love, you know, that beautiful gin glass 186 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: in an octagon shape. Rocky Jin's delicious. But when you 187 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: buy your RockA gin usually next to it with similar branding, 188 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: but not in an octagon shape, in like a long 189 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: cylinder shape. Is they do a version of vodka really 190 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 1: really yummy, and the cake. Let's take them home for 191 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: the cake. It looked so beautiful, was like one of 192 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: those almost looked like a wedding cake. It was like 193 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: three tears, but it was gluten free coconut raspberry cake, 194 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: so yummy with like the butter cream frosting and like 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: fresh bear on top. And it was all when they 196 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: did the art on it cake art, I haven't probably 197 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: saying it's all wrong, but there's all gold leaf flex 198 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: on the outside too, very very very good.

I get 233 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: a little bit stressed in LA to be really honestly, 234 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: just like the gun laws and like I just get 235 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: a little bit uncomfortable. Like I even saw someone post 236 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: today about like how many mass shootings that there are 237 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: in America reaching and it's the only thing that like 238 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: makes me uncomfortable that America is that like safety thing. 239 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: Everything else I love, like the opportunity being in the 240 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: entertainment industry, the go go go, like the mentality of 241 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: just like oh you've got a dream go for I 242 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: love all of that and it's fast and like in Australia, 243 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: just to be completely open and honest with you, like 244 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: I can't get an acting agent because I'm seen as 245 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: a wellness author here even though I'm moving into my 246 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: seventh year of acting training straight and so I've done 247 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: like more training than like a lot of people out there, 248 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: but just means nothing right, and so every like I 249 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: have written to nearly every astra an acting agent and 250 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: they all either don't respond. The voice agents were much nice, 251 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: so they were like thank you, but we've got voices 252 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: that sound like you. But the acting agent's nothing, like 253 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. So whereas when I'm in America, like I 254 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: signed to a commercial agents that literally means you audition 255 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: for commercials. I think within two weeks of landing and 256 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: god an audition that day, you know what I mean. 257 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: They don't. They're like, oh, you're a nutritionist. Oh cool, 258 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: Like they just think it adds on, like they don't 259 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: really mind. They're like, Okay, we can put you forward 260 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: for you know, like health and wellness. And I'm like, sure, 261 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: whatever you want to put me forward for. So that's why, 262 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: like I love America for that stuff. It's just the 263 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: safety stuff that gets me. Like I'd definitely be like 264 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: burning cortisol and like running on adrenal energy. And so 265 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: I just want to get a few holistic practices in. 266 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: And since I've interviewed Dylan Smith, that's the avadic doctor 267 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: that I'm seeing or practice. Since interviewing him, I've bought 268 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: a tongue scraper boss and I do tongue scraping every 269 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: single morning, and at night when we're watching our favorite show, Yellowstone, 270 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: we sip on hot water every night. So I've already 271 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: made a few lifestyle changes just as a result that 272 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: obviously it will be so easy to carry over into LA 273 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: but I just want to know what else I can 274 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: be doing. And yeah, and also like the long haul 275 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: flights and stuff, it does dry the body out, and 276 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: so I know he's got some techniques for like keeping 277 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: your self hydrated. So I'm really looking forward to that 278 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: one go for it. So that's me. Oh, one more 279 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: Halloween going fifty minutes. That's okay, Boss and I are 280 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: obsessed with the Yellowstone. I know we're kind of late 281 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: to the party. And you know that I was obsessed 282 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: with eighteen eighty three, which is like the prequel to Yellowstone, 283 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: when I was in Los Angeles, and nineteen twenty three 284 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: has come out since with I think Harrison Ford is 285 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: in it. I haven't seen nineteen twenty three yet because 286 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: we're we're not on Paramount Plus at the moment. We're 287 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: on Stand because we're watching Yellowstone, so it is incredible. 288 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: We're up to season three. I think my favorite character 289 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: at the moment, is it Floyd or Lloyd? I think 290 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: it's Lloyd. Everybody is into this rip Beth love story, 291 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: which is amazing and like so nourishing and rippers like 292 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: super sensitive and caring and gentle and loving, but also 293 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: looks like this big burly cowboy. So it is a 294 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: beautiful love story to watch unfold. It's so much fun 295 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: to watch. The way that it is written is unreal. 296 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm a massive fan of Taylor Sheridan. So he's the 297 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: creator and writer of Yellowstone. He also wrote Sacario. I 298 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: think hell Over High Water obviously eighteen eighty three mirror 299 00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: of Kingstown, that new Sylvester Stallone paramount show that just 300 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: came out. His prolific, prolific writer, prolific creator. He was 301 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: fun fact, Taylor Sheridan was that young, gorgeous cop on 302 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: Sons of Anarchy and he I've listened to a podcast 303 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: with him and he goes he was early forties living 304 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: in a little apartment in la He just had a 305 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: kid with his wife, and he was like not fairly surviving, 306 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: but living that struggling artist's life that we all know 307 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: so well, where you're like living super lean, you're not 308 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: making loads of cash, are getting little winds here and there, 309 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: and he was in the middle of negotiating his Sons 310 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: of Anarchy contract and they wouldn't meet him right, they 311 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't change his contract, and he was like, stuff this 312 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: and he started writing. I'm pretty sure he wrote Sacario, 313 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: or the one about Fatherhood, which I think is called 314 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: Hell over High Water, and he wrote it in this 315 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: apartment and then that like it was Sacario. I think 316 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: that really like pull blew up and went that's incredible 317 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: phenomenal sound that blew up and went bananas. And from 318 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: there he's become this wonderful writer creator, and he has 319 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: this passion for telling real stories. And in Yellowstone you 320 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: can tell that. And I know this because I've researched 321 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: him heavily, but he has and like indigenous writers coming 322 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: on to make sure that the story is true to 323 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: from not just like the Dutton perspective, which is like 324 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: a family of ranches, but also from a Native American perspective, 325 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: because technically that was their land well and truly before 326 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: it became a Dutton ranch. So it's really fascinating how 327 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: he holds true to America and like westerns in America, 328 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: and this is considered to be a neo Western, but 329 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: so quite modern. But Westerns in America are like, are 330 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: quite heavy and often and I've done a monologue from 331 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: eighteen eighty three, so when I went with my coach, 332 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: we learned that like Westerns often look at the like 333 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: the layers of hell, and so they're quite heavy and 334 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: greedy and earthy and hard and all about life lessons 335 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: and it's tough, and you know, you've got to earn everything. 336 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: In westernly, you to earn your freedom, You've got to 337 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: earn your land. You've got to work for it. It's 338 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: this like blood in exchange. It's blood, sweat and teas 339 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: in exchange, the land kind of thing. Anyway, it's an 340 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: incredible show, boss, and I are fully into it, like 341 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: fully into it. But I don't know if you knew this, 342 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: but I interviewed one of the composers, so Breton Vivian 343 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: was on the pod. He is one of the composers 344 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: on eighteen eighty three and Yellowstone, And so if you 345 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: want to go back and listen to a little bit 346 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: about that kind of like the composing the score, because 347 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: it's incredible score. It's episode two hundred and seventy on 348 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: fearlessly Failing. And I will say this, and I mean 349 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: this in the like sweetest way. But after I interviewed 350 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: Breton sweetest I've never met him before, humble kind like 351 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: I got when he left, I got a little bit emotional. 352 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: Do you know when you meet somebody and they are 353 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: fully living their purpose, They're so humble, they're just doing 354 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: their thing. They're in their own like just marching to 355 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: the beat of their own drum. But there's a gentleness 356 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: and there's a kindness, and I think it is rare 357 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: when you do meet someone that is just like unapologetically 358 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: themselves but also cares. And he had this energy of 359 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: just like being so even grateful for going on the 360 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: pod and just like sweet and kind but clearly living 361 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: his purpose. And I was just like, oh, And I 362 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: think when you get to be around because it is great, 363 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of fluff, you know, And when 364 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: you get to be around someone that is just like 365 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: absolutely an artist and doing what they love, it's so inspiring. 366 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: But it like hits you in the heart.
