So anyway, if you're into that kind 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: of adaptogenic stuff and sugar free things, check out Lolocoffee 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: dot Co. That's our website and everything is sixty percent off. 73 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: I think it goes until Sunday or Monday. It'll go 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: to Sunday actually for sure. So there you go. The 75 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: you have it. There's a show that we are obsessed 76 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: with at the moment. It's called Mister in Between. It 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: is an Aussie show. There are three seasons. I think 78 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: we're up to season three. It is incredible. It's like 79 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: a really dark comedy Australian. The cast is ten out 80 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: of ten. I'm pretty sure the director is Nash Edgerton, 81 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: so that's Joel Edgerton's bro. They and that together. I 82 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: think they have a production company called Like Blue Tongue Productions. 83 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm like a genius pick a real Australiana name. Love 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: that anyway. So his director, the cast is incredible. The 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: premise is our protagonist or our hero, which he's also 86 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: an anti hero bit of a villain as well, is 87 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: both a dad and a hitman. And so it's the 88 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: juggling of like being dad life and being a hit man, 89 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: but like growing a conscience and like making really clear 90 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: choices about like what our hero deems as like a 91 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: reasonable hit versus not kind of thing. And it's fascinating 92 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: because respect is really important to him and he definitely 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: does have a moral compass even though he is a 94 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: hit man. So it's fascinating. It is quick episode, so 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: fun to watch. We're currently watching it on Binge and 96 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I think we'll get it finished in the next couple nights. 97 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: We're absolutely living for it, loving it. What else have 98 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: I got to do? Just little things like you know 99 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: you're going away, you got to call up your phone 100 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: company and then go to the bank get some US 101 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: dollars all that kind of stuff. So it's just lots 102 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: of like juggling last minute pods. I it's so funny, 103 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: Like right, it's like something goes out into the Zion 104 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: guys stall the universe, and like Lola's leaving, let's make 105 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: sure that she can do pods as many pods as 106 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: possible in the time. And I feel really lucky that 107 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: all these people are like, yes, I want to do 108 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: a pod, but also like I've had to say no 109 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: to a lot too because there's just not the right 110 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: amount of time for the right re I like to 111 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: research like between eight and twelve hours per guest, and 112 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I have got a guest coming on tomorrow, which is 113 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: really exciting. I also interviewed a clinical sexologist this week, 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: so that was really exciting. Slash nerve a bit nerve 115 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: racking to be talking about spicy and topics, but I 116 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: loved it. I loved learning, and I loved just having 117 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: a safe space to ask all the questions. I literally asked, 118 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: like one of the questions was like how common is 119 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: butt plate? And I was like, didn't think I'll be 120 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: asking this question on the pod EVA, So that was 121 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: really cool when she was like, really, she's a local girl. 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: Her name is doctor Jess Wade. I believe anyway, that 123 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: will probably come out in a month or two because 124 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: I've got some scheduled pods that need to come out 125 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later, like if they're authors or if 126 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: they're a touring artists. Like Monday's episode was Josh Thomas, 127 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: and he's a touring comedian and so we wanted to 128 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: make sure that EPP came out so that people could 129 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: listen and ideally potentially go and see his show anyway, 130 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: So Josh Thomas came out on Monday. Then next Monday's 131 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: episode is a bit more of an educational piece, so 132 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: you need to tell if it comes out. I'm pretty 133 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: sure it'll come out on Monday. But it is a 134 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: more educational piece and it's around sustainability. So let me 135 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: know what you because that's quite different for what I 136 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: usually get on the pod. So let me know what 137 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: you think about that and if you like it and 138 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: if you learn from it and all that kind of stuff. Okay, 139 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Now the week that was, as in, I have to 140 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: do this thing that I do every time, ring our pods, 141 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: and I look at my phone, I go with my 142 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: photos from the week that was. But we did farmers 143 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: Market today, went to the sprout man was very excited, 144 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: got my sunflower sprouts. But what else I have been 145 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: swimming a shitload. I have been literally swimming nearly every day. 146 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: I tried you today, but Bosco got on a little 147 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: bit late with the car, real late, like six p't 148 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: eighty and we're both like, now Sun's gone, Sun's gone. Now, 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Sun's gone? And what is I told you last week 150 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: about the Wawner Jane Women's Day. EVM. I've been getting 151 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: back into a scene bread. Do you know what a 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: scene bread? It is this like raw sprouted grain bread 153 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: and it's called a scene and they do a gluten 154 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: free one and it's really really good. Oh yeah, Boss 155 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: took a video of me. We had a huntsman in 156 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: the house last night, quite up with my friend Beck. 157 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: Today went to Roady had this really good coffee. So 158 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: Roady is my short shortened version of the word roadhouse. 159 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: Roadhouse is a cafe kind of as you come into 160 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Byron Bay from like Bengalo or Lennox. It's not in 161 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: the main drag, It's in its own little drag. I 162 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: think it's even called Bengalo Road anyway or Old Bengalo. 163 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: Rode Roady do this drink called a Bruise shake and 164 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: it's a iced black coffee blitzed with mct oils.

Emay, I got that this morning. I hadn't 168 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: had that for so long. Oh I had. I went 169 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: back to Woods today and had the beautiful They do 170 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: this beautiful cabbage Japanese style pancake and it's got two 171 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: poached eggs on it and it's got like beautiful dooka 172 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: on top and avocado and then loads of sunflower tendrils. 173 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: It's so young. I just realized I haven't put that 174 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: photo up yet, and then I've been doing pods. I 175 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: actually have an acting audition as well that is due 176 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: on Monday, so I'm going to put that on tape 177 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: on the weekend, which is really exciting. So yes, got 178 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: an acting audition. Oh that's so. I always get so pumped. 179 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wnat to say was. You never 180 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: can say really unless you get it, then really can you? Okay? 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: So I wanted to tell you about this book that 182 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: I wrote. It's called Hooked and it is by Emily 183 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: mckintrey tire mc McIntyre. That's how it's about. Mcadae. Fuck 184 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: has to be saying wrong. Sorry I'm swearing as well. 185 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: It's my bottom large anyway, McIntyre, I'm going to say, 186 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm just saying wrong. Okay. So Hooked by 187 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: Emily mcindie. I think it's the first of a series. 188 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: It's a never after novel, so it imagine that they've 189 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: taken these characters from Peter Pan. So Hook is our 190 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: lead protagonist, although he's a bit of an antagonist, so 191 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: he's a villain. We're following a villain. This is the 192 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: first book out of all the books I've read that 193 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: has really clear trigger warnings at the start about like 194 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: spicy sex, about harmed others. It's a bit definitely a 195 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: bit murdery anyway. So the premise of this is that 196 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: our so you get to see it through two people's 197 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: povs or viewpoints, and one is Hook and the other 198 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: one is Wendy, which we know Wendy from Peter Pan 199 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: and the character of Peter Pan is her dad, and 200 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: we know that Pan and Hook are enemies from Peter Pan. 201 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: But it's interesting because there are all these little other 202 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: than kind of like that the character's names match the 203 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: like Peter Pan. Like Peter Pan's assistant is Tina Bell. 204 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Tinker Bell, Tina Bell. But there's no fantasy in this. 205 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: This is much. I should look up what genre it 206 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: is because it's definitely not fantasy. Hooked, Emily, here we go. 207 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: It comes up straight away. What does it say it is? 208 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: I'd love to know what genre it is? It's No. 209 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: One best selling. Oh wow, it's a number one book. 210 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: I had no idea. Oh so the genre is romance fiction, 211 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: contemporary romance, and erotic literature. Oh okay, well that makes sense. 212 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of sexo's in it. Okay, contemporary romance 213 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: is what Amazon's calling it. So yes, so I think 214 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: it is in a series where it then goes hook, 215 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: twisted and crossed. But she's written loads of stuff and 216 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,359 Speaker 1: it's okay, So I'll give you taste the book. Basically, 217 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: James or Hook, that's his name. He is our villain, 218 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: but it's all through his pob So if you like 219 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: reading my anti heroes, he's a bit that because he's 220 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: a drug dealer and they call his drug picks. He does. 221 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: There's another nod to Peter Pan. He hates the ticking 222 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: of clocks again, the same as his archetype from the 223 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: movie Peter Pan or the book Peter Pan. And he's 224 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: scared of crocodiles again, the same thing, but you get 225 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: to find out the reasons why, and it's quite different 226 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: to the reasons why from the novel. So it's basically 227 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: I think she takes the idea of like a fairy 228 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: tale and completely twists it and turns it in on 229 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: itself and makes very different Okay, so Hook is we're 230 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: we're looking through the eyes of Hook and Wendy. Now 231 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: it is a bit I'm gonna say Stockholm syndrome goes 232 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: on because Hook kind of goes after Wendy. There's a 233 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: bit of like flotation. There's like a bit of magic there, 234 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: and you think, oh, maybe they're falling for each other. 235 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: And the spice the sexos in it is a little 236 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: bit more I want a slightly more aggressive maybe, like 237 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: I guess I can say it's on here because it's 238 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: my pot. But there's like choking and stuff like that anyway, 239 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: and that's like tip of the iceberg anyway, So they 240 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: kind of like have a bit of like, Okay, I'm 241 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: not good at giving book rebers about going too much way, 242 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: but they kind of have a bit of flotation and 243 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: then quickly what happens is is Hook kind of thinks 244 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 1: Wendy's against him, and so he kidnaps her and is 245 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: pretty cruel to her, and she's still kind of falling 246 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: in love with him. So there's definite Stockholm syndrome going on, 247 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: and so you get to see that pushball of like 248 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: him being in love with her but also wanting to 249 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: hurt her father. Essentially, who is the Peter Pan character. Okay, 250 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: that's all I can give away with that, but yeah, 251 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: zero fantasy. It is much more. I would say Sexo's 252 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: definitely a bit more spice. A quick read. It is 253 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: a Paige turner because you're like, oh my goodness, who's 254 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: his murdering? Next? Oh my goodness having sex again? Like 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: it is quite you'll binge it, and that's what I 256 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: do love about a good page turner. So then you go, 257 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: I would definitely read more of her books. Again, I 258 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: have been told that Cross is really good, or I 259 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: think that's the one Cross is really good, But there's 260 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: a whole series in this kind of like genre that 261 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: she's written. So there's Hook Twisted Crossed. I think Wretched 262 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: is in there as well. Here I'm getting more by 263 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: this author. I'm getting it all up on googling it. 264 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, it was a fun read if you just want, 265 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: like you're going away for a weekend and you want 266 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: a good page turner, you like a bit because I 267 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: remember I'm originally my my entry into fiction was crime fiction, 268 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: So I don't mind a little bit of like who 269 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: done it? This is less who done it and more 270 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: you get the pov of James or Hook. You get 271 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: his pov how to say it, like as he's murdering people, 272 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: and then when he murders people, he gets turned on. 273 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: Very fascinating, which we know from if you've watched the 274 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: show's mind Hunter or read the book mind Hunter, you 275 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of know that there's a link between a murder 276 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: and pleasure and pain. You know that pleasure plain thing 277 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: and murdering and being turned on, which is why a 278 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: lot of like serial killers go back and like sex 279 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: o the corpses or have intercourse with the corpses. I 280 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: have This is probably getting very Macabon, very dark, and 281 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: very more, but anyway, so you can see there's a 282 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: touch of the murder and him murdering people and being 283 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: turned on by that if that makes sense in that book. Okay, 284 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: so the book that we're giving away is not in 285 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: fiction genre at all. We're going to take a turn.
