Another thing that Boss and I did this week 171 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: is we had a facial together at the Little Company. 172 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 2: It was gifted so. 173 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: A good friend of mine, Beautiful Joe, is friends of them, 174 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: and she was like, hey, they're doing a bit of 175 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: gifting at the moment, do you want in? And I 176 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: was like absolutely so Boss and I had a date 177 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: Avo and the little company is also in the industrial 178 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: estate in Byron Bay and we both had ali ed 179 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: light therapy on our faces and then we had Matt 180 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: had the ritual and I had the remedy, which it 181 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: means you get like a bit of a foot massage 182 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: as well, and they really tailor it to what your 183 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: face needs. I needed a hydration. I think Bosco went 184 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: like anti aging. But he loved it, loved it, loved it. 185 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: So that's a really good thing to think about if 186 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you're doing Christmas or holidays up in Byron and you're like, 187 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: what's a good pressy massage is always good, but facial 188 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: you just feel like you're glowing afterwards, which is really nice. 189 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm mad on the cheer pud front at the moment. 190 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: I've been making all these different cheer PUDs and trying 191 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: different protein powders, so that has been fun, a lot 192 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: of fun. I am still trying to find the best 193 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: combo of like flavors and what I love and do 194 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: I want it with cottage cheese or yoga? Say, anyway, 195 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: that's been a lot of fun, but I'm going to 196 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: post arrest once i feel like I've perfected it. And 197 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: then I just made today because we're having a guest 198 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: for dinner tomorrow. And I made gluten free brownies from 199 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: that company seed Cycle, and they sent products a couple 200 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, which is all around cycling different crush 201 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: seeds to suit your menstrual cycle. So anyway, it's just 202 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: basically got to the different levels of amigas from what 203 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: I can gather, and obviously fiber content's great for binding 204 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: with excess hormones in the body as well. Anyway, I 205 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: made their brownie mix today, so all you got to 206 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: add is a cup of olive oil and three eggs 207 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: and of course if you want to make it vegan, 208 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: you don't do eggs. You do like mashed banana and 209 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: chea seeds pretty good, and I added some raspberries anyway, 210 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: so that was really nice.

Then we can't relax when 279 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: we're with them. We ruminate on their behavior after they've gone. 280 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: They harvest our empathy and operate without regard of our feelings. 281 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: In Difficult People, Doctor Rebecca Ray shows us how to 282 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: recognize and understand difficult people and provides us with practical 283 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: strategies for self preservation, from learning when to say no, 284 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: limiting contact and managing our reactions to knowing when to 285 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: walk away for good.

So for those that don't know, 336 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: he wrote Rocky in three and a half days after 337 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: having seen a fight because obviously it's about an amazing fighter, 338 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: and he wrote himself. 339 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: In as the lead. 340 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: And initially all the production houses were like we're gonna 341 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: buy this off you for a really high amount. I 342 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: think it was like three hundred grand or something, which 343 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: back then would have been loads. And he was like, no, 344 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: you cannot do that unless I'm the lead. They're like, 345 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: you're not a name, We're not making you the lead. 346 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm telling you, you cannot have my 347 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: script until unless I am the lead, and to the 348 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: point that he had no money, like he had sold 349 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: his dog for thirty dollars, which he then we went 350 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: and bought back by the way as soon as this 351 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: deal was done. But he's being interviewed in this clip 352 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: and he's talking about how he wrote Rocky so quickly 353 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: and the motivation behind it. 354 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: So let me get it up for you. It's really cool, 355 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: really cool. Saved it for you today. I was like, oh, 356 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: the gang is just going to love this one. Here 357 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 2: we go. I've got it. I found it. I found it. 358 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 2: I found it. 359 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,239 Speaker 1: Okay, So let me just get the vole up and 360 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: put it nice and close to the mic for you, 361 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: all right. 362 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: Three two, I had quite a bit of fuel to 363 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: sit down and wade the script. I wrote the script 364 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 3: in about three and a half das and only because 365 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 3: I could hear the wolf out to do it. Literally, 366 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 3: it was getting write down the script in the old 367 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 3: pine with the barrel. 368 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: Well. 369 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 3: I felt at the time that cinema, at least movies 370 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: I have been seen, we're at an all time law. 371 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: It was everything was anti society, anti Christ, anti government, 372 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: anti everything. There was no one to root for. And 373 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: I also that films are very cyclic, so I wanted 374 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 3: to get back into the cycle of the films of 375 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 3: the forties and the fifties where people say, hey, gee, 376 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: I missed the good old films. Yet Hollywood hasn't taken 377 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 3: heat and hasn't made any good old fashion type films 378 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 3: where morality was at the forefront. So I took the 379 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 3: opportunity to write this particular film, of course, being somewhat 380 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: selfish because I had myself in mind for it, but 381 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 3: that was the main motivation. It was mostly what was 382 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 3: on his atmosphere, always in the background, or the guy 383 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: that was being the drunk that was being stepped over 384 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: in the gutter. But I felt that geez, if I 385 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: was going to go down at least into professional obscurity, 386 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: I wanted to at least have the opportunity to say 387 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 3: to myself, Well, you tried, you put your best foot 388 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: forward and you didn't make it. So that's what I 389 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 3: guess you might say, provoked me into writing the script 390 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 3: because it wasn't something that I had given a lot 391 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: of thought to. I just knew that I had to 392 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 3: do it one time and it was innate. 393 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: How cool sylvest Alone. 394 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: So he was saying like it was bottom in the bar, 395 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: like the wolf was at the door, Like, ah, love it. 396 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: I love that, you know, in the face of the wolf. 397 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, you just know, it's kind of like sink 398 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: or swim. Very inspiring, very inspiring. I think I always 399 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: tell you as well about like my acting agent hunt, 400 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: still on the hunt. 401 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: Just trusting and. 402 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: Believing in myself a little bit more and doing a 403 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: lot of creative stuff is kind of just going great. 404 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to rep me unless they really 405 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: want to, and that's okay, And I'm just gonna wait 406 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: for that right fit, you know.
