Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hi, it's Lucky Dip time. It's now Li's mom. Gee
this there's your podcast yee the Hello, Hi, Hello, everyone,
welcome to like a Dip episode. It is now, it
is Monty and we are here today to give you
just a random morsel of a podcast you nibble on
(00:26):
with whatever you're doing. Yes, it usually pictures kind of
a school pick up, like something just a film. This
is a filler, it is.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And it's also something that you can go back and
listen to all the different ones because there is literally
something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh there is, because they're random. It's a lucky dip.
You never know what you're going to get. Just the
other day, I was thinking, and I've spoken about this before,
like I'm forty four, I'm like at the point in
my life where I'm not done with my career, but
my career is pivoting, and what does that pivot look like?
And sometimes that fucking nasty voice is like, you're done,
(01:01):
You're done. Everything is you know, it's too late to
create anything, And and then other times I get really inspired.
I'm like, now, fuck, no, I could do this or
this or I'm going to do this, like I do
know stuff is ahead I don't know what yet. I
don't have the full buzz of going, oh, that's what
I'm going to give a crack next to. But so
I was looking at people who had success later in life.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, Now, when I say later in life, there's not
that many that have done a huge amount after forty,
like they're forties, I should say it is around then
where they have their pivots and stuff. I know so,
but it's not to say you can't create it anytime
in your life. But these are people who are really
successful that it took them later in life, yes, before
(01:45):
they made anything of it. Okay, so we all know
Vera Wang, who, on a side note, terrifies me. She's
so unbelievably thin. I don't follow her, but she chops
up in my feed sometimes she's I forget how old
she is now, but she'd be close to eighty. I
(02:06):
would say shit. Anyway. I don't follow Vira Wing, but
she pops up on my Instagram feed a bit, and
she's usually kind of dancing or just modeling something by
her pool or whatever. She terrifies me like that, such
an unhealthy woman. You can't look at her and go
she's in a good mental headspace and she's seventy five.
(02:26):
That's what terrifies me to you, and it's like, oh fuck,
you're eating a body issues can follow you to your death.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Like I'm really hopeful that when I get older, I'm
just gonna let myself blow out. Yeah, I'm going to
just be just let myself eat all the cake, just
hairy legs.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And I just just think it with all low Nah.
I just don't think it really works like that, you
know what I mean? You think, oh, yeah, now when
I'm older, I won't care, but we definitely still care. Anyway.
So before she became, you know, the head of the
bridle in Just Street, she worked in fashion and she
had a stint as a figure skater. So I shouldn't
like talking about her body is obviously fucked. So she
(03:07):
obviously has always had like, you know, an athletic body.
But anyway, so she never made it big ice skating,
but she did have a stint in it, so Faverra,
it all started in nineteen eighty nine when she start
when she designed her own wedding dress. I think she
had a budget for herself of like ten grand or something.
It was a lot and she designed her own and
then she opened up her own bridlehouse in New York
(03:31):
and she was shorty. Wow, so that's quite a lot
older to start.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, it is, but like what it's almost like why
should it matter? Wouldn't you think the older you get, Yes,
especially when you're talking about midlife, you're at that point
where you've acquired so much knowledge, you stick.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Find so much to your prime. Yes, But I do
also think it's when you're younger with it, you know,
and you've got kind of less going on, that's where
and you've got your mojo to really get your hands dirty.
Like I don't want to get my hands dirty anymore
that much.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh see, now's the time I feel like I want
to get my hands dirty because I always worked, but
I was fortunate enough to be able to work from home,
but I stayed home with my kids. Yes, and I'm like, oh,
I gave it all. Then now I'm like, oh, now's
my time.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Now's your time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I think a lot of women are like that too,
for sure. All right, Harland Sanders, did you know that
was the colonel's name?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I did not know that. What a random name anyway,
So he was a complete failure. Who got fired from
dozens of jobs? Like dozens, that's a lot of jobs
to get fired from. Before he started a restaurant that failed,
and then when he went out of business, he found
himself broke at the age of sixty five. Shit broke
(04:54):
at sixty five. But then things worked out and he
started his first Kentucky fry and sold it as a
franchise in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Puck, that's too late.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That's too late. You want to be chewing with the
fucking pina colada in your hand, then to be starting
a business. You want side spin offs maybe, but not
the main fucking course. That's slight.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Five. I have so much respect for people who because
so many of the world's most successful people have failed
time and time a time and time before they've cracked it. Yeah,
I would like fail and then just stay down.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yes, same, Oh that didn't work, then mind, I'll give
that up. The next couple are actors, Okay, So Samuel Jackson,
he was forty six. He was in recovery from addiction
to cocaine and heroin when he got that job alongside
John Travolta in pulp fiction. Bullshit, that was like he's
kind of make it roll like he's done bits and
(05:52):
pieces before then and now he's gone on to do
a bucket load of films. But yeah, hell, drag at it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I mean role to start off with that monologue, not monologue,
but that Ezekiel twenty five or sixteen or whatever that
he delivers before they assassinate that kid in pulp fiction
is like such a perfect bit of acting.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So he was really young when I saw that. All
I remember is I want the blue Betty pancakes. Oh yeah,
And I just didn't really get it. I remember everybody did.
I obsessed with it, and I remember going, yeah, I
love it, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, we were too at this, We were too young.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
And also how he had to stab John travolt had
to stab Uma Thurman in her chest because she odeed
like it was traumatic.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Do you know they shot that in reverse? I think
I've told you this before. They shot that scene in
reverse because you know, he's got to bring it down
onto her quickly, like he didn't want to hurt her.
He was scared, so they shot it in reverse. Oh
that's so coral.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, yeah, I love that. Good on you. Next one
is Steve Carrall. Oh. He didn't have much success on
screen until he was cast in The Forty year Old
Virgin in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's a funny movie.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
One of the best of all time. He was forty
three that year. Was he forty three when he played
that role. Yeah, And then he went on that year
to also play Michael Scott on the US version of
the Office.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He's been so good in that He's had so many
like iconic sort of roles where you could someone could
be pigeonholed, like, oh, that's them forever, but he's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
On any kind of thing. Yeah, because in What's the
Morning Wars? He played a serious actor in that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That really upset me his role in that, because I
hated him by the end of that, yeah, And I
was like, oh no, but I really like him.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, that bit sleepy and stuff. But god, forty year
Old Virgin. I'm going to rewatch that. I was gonna
I just was about to watch it with backson and
I'm like, oh no, I'm not watching that with my
thirteen year old. But there's one of that Bad Bosses
with Jennifer Aniston in it that is fucking brilliant.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
My husband loves ith got all that so funny? Yeah,
step brothers.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What's old school? Oh my god, there's so many great
ones of like those kind of guys.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Just silly, just funny and silly.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh my god, it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love it all. Right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, there you go, so still gives us hope. Guys,
if you're sitting there going what am I going to do?
You can get up and you can fucking do stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
People know what else you can do. You can make
sure that you give us a five star review, right,
five star rating, Write a nice review, because maybe then
by the time we're sixty five, I'll say finally.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
They after thirty years. They were overnight thirty year success. Anyway,
