This podcast is all about celebrating failure 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: because I believe it's a chance for us to learn, 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: grow and face our blind spots. Each week, I'll interview 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: a different guest about their highs as well as their lows, 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: all in a bid to inspire us to fearlessly fail. Lohan, 7 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to your No, this isn't your diary episode. This 8 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: is a travel guide. I was only going to say 9 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: to your Los Angeles diary. But I'm in Burn Bay 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: as I record this episode, which is a travel guide 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles, which is where I live half of 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: the time. Now full disclosure, I live East. So the 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: suburb that I live in is called well, I call 14 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: it Lost Feelers. A lot of people call it Los Felice, 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: which in Spanish actually means the Family, which is really nice. 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: But that suburb is east. So just to give you 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: a lay of the land, west is Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Ma Vista. It's all. The west is near the ocean, right, 19 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: so you see a lot of Aussies love Santa Monica 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: and Venice. And then east where I am is do 21 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: you remember that Adele concert that was at Griffith Park 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: Observatory that I'm at the base of that. So I'm 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: at the base of the hills. So other areas near 24 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: me are so it goes lost feelss Silver Lake, Glendale's 25 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: not far, but these are all areas that are at 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: the base of the hills. So it naturally gets a 27 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: lot hotter in the east than it does in the 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: west because you've got that natural sea breeze. Right. So 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: although I'm going to cover with you things both east 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: and west, it's naturally going to be a little bit 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: more east because well, that's where I live, isn't it. 32 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: Just And I've got a whole list of stuff where 33 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, I just remembered one thing. I was like, 34 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: oh you haven't written that place? Ound okay, So I've 35 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: got a whole list of things. My only premise with 36 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: these travel guides, so last week's episode was Byron Bay, 37 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: is that I have to experience everything that I tell you. 38 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: So this is going to be just a drop in 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: the ocean of stuff to do in la You could 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: do loads and loads of other stuff, but I have 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: experienced a fair bit because I've spent six months of 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: the year there for the last couple of years, right, 43 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: So I am going to give you a guide of food, coffee, 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: move like, health and wellness, like places you could go 45 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: for like movement, and then cool things to do and 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: on all different budgets too, so you could be like, oh, 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm on a bit of a budget. I'm going to 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: do that one like not all of this means you 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: need to have a mazillion dollars, and then like places 50 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: to go for drinks, places to go for That's what 51 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: I got here, food, coffee, movement, things, cool things to do, 52 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: and then like cocktails and drinks. So with that said, 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: I think we start with food, me being a foodie 54 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: and a health nerd. So again, a lot of these 55 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: are going to be East, not all of them, but 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: some of them are going to be East. And I 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: think that the East has brilliant, brilliant food and cafes. 58 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: So because LA is quite spread out, if you're staying 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: in Santa Monica, say, or even West Hollywood, you could go, oh, 60 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: we're going to do a day East and you could 61 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, get up in the morning, take yourself to 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: do a hike, either Runyon or Griffith Park, I'll be 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: talking about those hikes in a bit, and then you 64 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: could go somewhere east for lunch, so like you could 65 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: kind of make a day of it and kind of 66 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: stack on. I would say have a car if you're 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: in La it is tricky if you're not. It's a 68 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: place where you do need tab aca, right, and there's 69 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: an app I think it's called Turo t Uro and 70 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: it's kind of like abnb for cars and they let 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: you use your AUSSI license. Okay, let's start with food stuff. 72 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: So there's a place right near where I live in 73 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Las Veelas called Figario, and it's this French bistro place 74 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: and you're on like the main drag so you can 75 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: just people watch. It's really good value. I love the 76 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Nicois salad you can get. They do half priced cocktails 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: most nights, so I loved going there and meeting mate 78 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: for a martini or two, and they're like eight dollar martinis, 79 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: which is really affordable and it's really fresh, yummy food. 80 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Another place that I really liked is called Cafe Gratitude. 81 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: That's actually a chain. So there's a Cafe Gratitude in Venice. 82 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: There's a cafe Gratitude in Larchmont, which is a whole 83 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: nother suburb. I think there's there may be a third 84 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Cafe Gratitude. I've been to the one on Larchmont and 85 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: the one in Venice, so Cafe Gratitude is really called. 86 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: It's like all health and wellness. I'm pretty sure it's 87 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: predominantly plant based. But you order a feeling, so you 88 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: order like I am grateful, I am happy, I am joyous, 89 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: and then when and their waitress brings it out to you, 90 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: or he or her will go or they will go 91 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: I am joyous, and then put the meal in front 92 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: of you, which is really cool. But you can get 93 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: lots of health and wellness things. The next one, if 94 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: you followed any of my allay adventures, I love this place. 95 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: It's called air One. It's actually Americans pronounce it air 96 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: one and it actually spells nowhere backwards. It's incredible. You 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: can eat there, you can get takeaway. It's all things 98 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: health and wellness. It does come with a price tag. 99 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking seventeen dollars smoothies US, so that'd be like 100 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars Aussie. So go once or twice and 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: like get all the fun, health nerd things. And then 102 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: that's what I try to do. Like one shop at 103 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: Air One when I first arrive and then I'm like, 104 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: and you're done, And then I'll just go there for 105 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: juices or coffees if I'm meaning mates. I'll try to 106 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: keep it, keep a handle on it. But the food 107 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: is incredible. They've got like a hot bar that's incredible. 108 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: They've got pre made salads. Everything is so good, and 109 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: they've got great merch as well. It's a fun one. 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: Air One's all over the place. There's one in Santa Monica. 111 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: There's one at the Grove, there's one in Beverly Hills. 112 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: There's one in Silver Lake. That was my local one 113 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: because Silver Lake and Los Philis the next door neighbors, 114 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: so really really good. They've always got car parking as well. 115 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: It gets busy, so I used to go to Yog's 116 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: and then I just walk straight to Air One after 117 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: Yogs and get my coffee or green juice. A lot 118 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: of fun. Another great place. I'm going to talk about 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: this more in the drink section, but it's called Kara Hotel, 120 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: also in Los Phelis. It's just really cool. It's got 121 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: a vibe. It used to be an old rundown motel 122 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: and they've readone it up, so it's a calm and yeah. 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: Lunch and dinner at Vibes. I have been there breaky 124 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: time before, but that's more for people that are staying there. Yeah, 125 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: so go there for like a boozy lunch or cocktails 126 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: at night. My favorite cocktail there, well, okay, and this 127 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: is in the drink section, but my favorite cocktail there 128 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: is called the east Side May and it's made with 129 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: muholland gin, so local gin. And then there's like cucumber 130 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: and Minton lime. I tried a few different cocktails, but 131 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: hands down that one was my favorite. There's another place 132 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: again in Los Phelis called Little Doms. It's a proper 133 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: old school Italiandali. The food is insane. They do have 134 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: gluten free options. Incredible. There's a rumor that John Hamm 135 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: has a standing reservation there, so he John Hamm is 136 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: like the big celeb of Los Phelis. That said, loads 137 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: of sleibs live in that area. You've got Ryan Gosling, 138 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: You've got Jack Black, that said, I never spotted the 139 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: only person that I always saw was is it what's 140 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: her name? The lead of Gray's anatomy Gray. Is it 141 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: Alan Pompadee Pop and pomp and Day or something. I 142 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: saw her at coffee. I saw her doing the Griffith 143 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: Park hyke with Natalie Portman. That was only selib spotting 144 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I really had in my area. Okay, next up, this 145 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: is a good lunch spot, breakfast spot, dinner spot. So 146 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: I took a few meetings here. Great coffee. It's called 147 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: all Time. It's on Franklin again in Los Fearless, so 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: it's east, but that'd be a good spot to go 149 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: if you were to go for a hike and then 150 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: wanted a really healthy, yummy lunch spot after. So that's 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: called all Time. Okay, So now we're going to hit 152 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: west side food wise. So this place is amazing. I'm 153 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: very lucky. My beautiful friend Alex introduced me to this place. 154 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: It's called farm Shop. It's in Brentwood. It's in the 155 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Brentwood Country Mart. So you're literally in this cute little 156 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: barn style. Yeah, it's a country little mini. More so, 157 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: there's like I often say it's company wrong, but Christian 158 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: Luberton shoes there. Actually when we when we went to 159 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: farm Shop, we went and had a squize shoes after 160 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: and it was locked because Sharon Osborn was in there 161 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: buying shoes.

I would go there for lunch or dinner. 167 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: Really clean, really beautiful food, beautiful wines. It's a place 168 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: you could just go on people watch. No paparazzi you're 169 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: allowed either. So it feels like really luxurious and it's 170 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Apparently, like that's where Ben Affleck 171 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: and j Logo and that. I've never spotted celebs there, 172 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: but I haven't spent that much time west. So that 173 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: is in Brentwood, not far from Santa Monica. So that's 174 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: a good one if you're West and you've got a 175 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: business meeting or you want to have a boogie lunch. 176 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: That's awesome. There's so much Mexican in America that is phenomenal, 177 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: and in Los Angeles that is phenomenal. You will never 178 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: regret going to Mexican I've been to a few different places, 179 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: and I think the one I went to was to 180 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: Madra to Madre and that was in West Hollywood. That's 181 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: a really fun vibe place where you could almost go 182 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: out after like cocktails, food, delicious, really yummy, iconic ala. 183 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: Definitely don't do it every Nixus not that cheap, but 184 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: Sugarfish is really really yummy. It's an incredible sushi place. 185 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I went there again with my mate Alex and we 186 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: were seeing next door to Conan O'Brien's. That was a 187 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: pretty curl moment because one of my dreams is to 188 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: become a talk show host. Really yummy, really good again 189 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: clean healthy. You can get saky as well. It's really 190 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: really delicious. Okay, I have to do a food so 191 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: I went on some not as healthy food even though 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm a nutritionist. Okay. So there is a lifelong debate 193 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,479 Speaker 1: about what is better in and out Burger versus Shakeshack. 194 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: So the health nerds listening to this, you can just 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: skip ahead two minutes. But these are hands down the 196 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: best burgers in the world. So here's here's my thing. 197 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: In and out Burger, So you can get a full 198 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: meal for like seven bucks, right, like your burger, your Chippo's, 199 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: and a thick shake. So good. Obviously it's not healthy 200 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: at all. I'm not pretending to say that, but it 201 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: is so young. So I actually had someone on the 202 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: podcast that told me about shake Shack because I've always 203 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: been like, no way, he can't beat In and Out. 204 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: But once he told me what to order, I was like, 205 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: oh wow, so they're both amazing. I'm going to tell 206 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: you my favorite order from each place. So In and 207 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: Out has a secret off menu menu, so it's not 208 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: listed on the menu, but you say the right words 209 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: and you get this off menu. It's like a secret menu. Right. 210 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: It's called animal style. Well I'm sure there are a 211 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: few options, but I get animal style fries and animal 212 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: style cheeseburger. So that means they put this almost like 213 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it. It's like a 214 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: tomato sauce mayo kind of sauce thing with chopped up 215 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: pickles through it and onion through it, and that goes 216 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: inside your cheeseburger and then you can get it on 217 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: your Chipo's as well. And then I love the strawberry 218 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: thick shake. And it's so young, but you feel sick after, like, 219 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: let's be real. The other one is Shakeshack and I 220 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: got this amazing chicken burger and I got as per 221 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: recommended by my friend malted thick shake. Very good. And 222 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: they do like Sundays and stuff as well, which are 223 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: meant to be phenomenal, which I've not yet had, so 224 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: I know they're not healthy things, but they are very Americana. 225 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: And if you're there and you've had a night out 226 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh, I want something indulgent, it's 227 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: yummy and very very cheap. Okay, let's get on to coffee. 228 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: So again it's going to feel very east Side heavy. 229 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: I love this specialty coffee, like really beautiful coffee, So Maru. 230 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: That's again in Los feeless. You can't sit down there, 231 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: or you haven't any time I've been, so you kind 232 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: of just get it and keep walking. Blue Bottle is 233 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: a good one, Bluestone Lane. One of them is Australian. 234 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't know which one all time. That cafe I 235 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: told you about, great coffee, really yummy coffee. In LA 236 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: most people order their coffee iced. So in Australia we're 237 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: used to having like a latte or a long black 238 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: can't get along black in La. There's a huge difference 239 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: between them. And also if you order a long Black, 240 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: people gonna look at you funny. For a hot black coffee, 241 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: you ask for an Americano, but it isn't the same 242 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: as long black. So I always in the lead up 243 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: to going to America, I just like love going out 244 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: from a long Black because I know I haven't found 245 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: anything even close to it in America. But they do beautiful, 246 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: beautiful like batch brew iced coffees, like really yummy, So 247 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: that's usually what I get when I'm in La. Fun 248 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: fact about America as well, if you're staying at a hotel, 249 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: even in airbnb, kettles are not a thing. I don't 250 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: know why. They just don't exist in America, like as 251 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: in you can go to Target on Camar and buy one, 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: which is what I always do, but they're not in 253 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: a hotel, So just duck down a kmart or Target 254 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: buy yourself a kettle so you can have a cup 255 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: of tea in the evening, so that you can, you know, 256 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: I love you know, traveling coffee and make your own coffee. 257 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: I either have Lola coffee with me or I grind 258 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: my own and do French press so good, so yummy. 259 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: I yeah, I would highly recommend buying kettle if you're 260 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: there for you know, a couple of weeks for sure. 261 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: Now Kettle's like twelve bucks at Target. Okay, one other 262 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to mention. This isn't in the coffee section. 263 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: This is actually in the health and drink section, like 264 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: health food section is. Again it's in Lost Fields, but 265 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,479 Speaker 1: there are a few all over LA. It's called Lassons, 266 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: so it's like a cheaper version of air One or 267 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Whole Foods, great smoothies, grete juices. Also a health food 268 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: stores you can buy all you supplements and whatnot. And 269 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: there are different supplements in America too, you know Astralia 270 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: as well, so you can kind of have fun with that. Okay, 271 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: just that I might throw in here at the half 272 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: way mark or the caught a waymark, third way mark. 273 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: A few handy facts about America. So get a kettle 274 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: in La. You don't most people don't drink the tap water. 275 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Of course, you could get like a brit A filter 276 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: or a filter and filter your water. You could boil it, obviously, 277 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: that's technically what you're doing when you're having tea but 278 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: I was buying spring water, and they sell water everywhere, 279 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: like all the quip markets, all the big bottles of 280 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: like spring water was what I was buying. Parking is 281 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: different to Australia's. Just start to learn the parking signs. 282 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: You'll look at them and be like, oh my god, 283 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: there's fifteen signs here. I don't know what to do. 284 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: So just take a moment to read the parking signs 285 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: because you will get towed, you will get fined. Health 286 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: insurance if you're moving over is like a whole new 287 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: beast what I'm looking into right now. So just to 288 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: make sure if you're and I'm sure everyone knows this, 289 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: but get travel insurance. I've had friends that went to 290 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: America without travel insurance and I was like, you're crazy 291 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: because the healthcare system is expensive over there. So just yeah, 292 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: make cross your t's and dot your eyes with your 293 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: travel insurance. Okay, move meant okay. So I found a 294 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: great yoga studio I loved called Why seven. Literally they'd 295 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: play hip hop music or they'd have like a Kendrick 296 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Lamar theme day, or like a Beyonce day or a 297 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: Harry Styles day, and then you would move your body 298 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: to like do yoga to that artist. Really cool sweaty 299 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: it's infrared, it's candle that you're in a black room. 300 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: It's really cool vibe. So I went to the one 301 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: in Lost Field. Oh, I think it's silver at their 302 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: Silver Lake location, should I say? I used to go 303 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: to their one on Melrose, which is in West Hollywood 304 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: and that shut down with COVID, and I think their 305 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: flagship is actually in New York. So that's a good 306 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: one to know if you're in New York. And the 307 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: great yoga studio if you're in New York is called 308 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: Laughing Lotus. It's not in LA, but just handy to know. 309 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: The other thing I tried when I was in LA 310 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: when my friends Tally and Sarah were visiting. They love rumble, 311 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: So rumble I think it exists in Perth or something. 312 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: But it's basically boxing and weight training. It's like full 313 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: on Americana style, like okay, guys, you're ready and let's 314 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: go for it. Let's give this out all you know, 315 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: like it's all that pump you up music, blackout room, 316 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: very like you want to be caffeinated before you do 317 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: that is my tip. But it was fun. It was 318 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: totally fun to check out. Okay, hikes, there's so many hikes, like, 319 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: so many hikes. So you could do Griffith Park. That's 320 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: someone at the base of the hills near me. I 321 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: think that's the best one because you get to see 322 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: the Hollywood Sign. You hike up to the observatory. You 323 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: can like you just have such a beautiful view. You 324 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: can see all the way, like you see downtown LA 325 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: on a clear day, you can see all the way 326 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: to Santa Monica. So I love that hike. The more 327 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: popular one that was run in Canyon. It's a shorter hike. Again, 328 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: you'll get to see the Hollywood sign with that one. 329 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: There is a hike you can do that takes you 330 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: out to the back of the Hollywood Sign. I haven't 331 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: done that for ages, but that is a fun hike 332 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: if you literally want to be like standing behind the age. 333 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: They are gated off obviously the letters, but like you're 334 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: pretty close. You're like twenty to fifty meters away and 335 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: it looks curl for a picky. Topanga is a really 336 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: good one. So Tapanga is out west. It is more 337 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,239 Speaker 1: like on the way to Calabasas. Think Kardashians. That's really 338 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: cool because there's some cool graffiti ard at the top 339 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: of that hike Santa Monica Mountains, so that's not far 340 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: from Topanga. I did that with my friend Moe and 341 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: Jeremy when I first got to LA last year, and 342 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: we saw not one, but two snakes. So to be aware. 343 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: Rattlesnakes are around. There's like seven different kinds and they're poisonous, 344 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: so pretty sure you won't die from a rattle bye, 345 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: but you'll go to hospital and they'll like meet your 346 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: skin or turn blue and black, and they'll measure like 347 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: how far the venom has spread. And I think they 348 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: have anti poisons in hospitals. But like I remember thinking, 349 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, my health insurance wouldn't my travel insurance 350 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't have covered that anyway, I'm sure it would have, 351 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: but yeah, rattlesnakes. If you're on a thin track, just 352 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: be aware of rattlesnakes, because that's how I saw one. 353 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Literally just heard rustling. But we're on a single file 354 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: and I looked down and there was a rattlesnake right 355 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: next to me, all called coiled up, rattling making that sound, 356 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: and they look a little bit angry. They don't look sweet, 357 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: like a beautiful carpet python or a green tree snake. 358 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: They look like they're ready to go, so yeah, just 359 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: be aware of them. Speaking of the hikes, you can 360 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: often see coyotes, especially if you're hiking in sun up 361 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: or sundown, so morning or dusk, and they're fine. They 362 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: do have rabies though, so I wouldn't be walking over 363 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: and trying to feed them or give them a pat. 364 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: They'll usually stay away from you. But they're like this, 365 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: look like skinny wall. Basically, they're kind of cool. The 366 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: other thing that I saw I hiked early one morning 367 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: with a mate and we saw quite a few deer, 368 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: so that's pretty cool. That was pretty cool. I've never 369 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: seen a mountain lion, but people have and said they're 370 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: really scary, and there are some that do prowl down 371 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: because again I was at the base of the hills, so 372 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: there were stories of them in Los Phelis, but I 373 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: never saw any. I just saw a lot of coyotes. 374 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: Of course, there are squirrels everywhere. There are skunks as well. 375 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: In LA you will not often see a skunk. You 376 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: will smell it. It smells like sulfur mixed with earth. 377 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: It's not really like a fart smell. It's more like 378 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: it's really earthy and yeah, sulfury. It's really weird but cool. Okay, 379 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: speaking of movement, we're going back to west Side here. 380 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: So this is in Santa Monica on an awesome there's 381 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: this amazing street called Montana. Great health food, great gluten 382 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: free stuff. But they've got a great pilate studio called 383 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: Mighty Pilarates. Tough, tough pilarates. So you're doing reformer and strings, 384 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: really full on but really good. You'll get great results. Okay, 385 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: Next here's I might do the drink thing and then 386 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: I'll do the two do so drinks. You can get 387 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: cocktails nearly anywhere in La especially Where's Hollywood is like 388 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: a real nightlife going out spot. But again, I'm just 389 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna run over some kara, which is what I talked about. 390 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: That's in Los Fearless. Can't remoon writing there. Oh that 391 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: was Fagario because it's half priced cocktails. Grand Master Records 392 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: I went to, which is owned by an Aussie Grant Smiley, 393 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: who I've interviewed on this podcast. He also owns ep LP, 394 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: which has got a restaurant and a cocktail bar upstairs. 395 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: Where they do Moonlight cinemas. But Grandmuster Records is his 396 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: newest endeavor and that's in Hollywood. And yeah, you're just 397 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: looking at the Hollywood's skyline as well. Okay. And there's 398 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: so many cocktail bars ps and wine bars and like 399 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: if you're in Silver there's I think there's a wine 400 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: bar called Stellar that is beautiful. I think actually there's 401 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: one called Lola as well. I don't know, but my 402 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: point is wine bars are everywhere. Just do like a 403 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: quick call out and as inmates, and like I said, 404 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: they're everywhere. Okay, One more thing I want to mention. 405 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of the wellness topic. It's called den Mother 406 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: that's on Abbot Kinney in Venice. And actually corfeyone do 407 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: like infrared sauna ice ba vibes that you pay I think, 408 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like seventy five. It's not cheap. 409 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: It's like seventy five bucks for the hour and you 410 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: get you can do multiple rounds of sauna and ice, 411 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: which is cool. Okay. Things to do in La so I. 412 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: Something I discovered recently is like you can I thought 413 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: you couldn't go to the Chinese Theater, which is on 414 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard. I thought that was reserved only for movie premieres, 415 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: but no, it's a fully functional epic film cinema. You 416 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: gotta go. So it's an iMac cinema. So it's big. 417 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: So I saw Maverick there. I feel like I saw 418 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: something else there. I feel like I've been there twice. 419 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: I've definitely been there twice. I don't know what else 420 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: I saw there, but I definitely saw Maverick there. So good. 421 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: It's huge. There's like apparently within it are like private 422 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: boxes that like Marilyn Monroe had one and JFK had 423 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: one and then they used to meet up at the 424 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: Roosevelt across the Road kind of thing or like just 425 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: down the road. So it's really cool. And when you 426 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: walk in there are like there's like mannequins as like 427 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: of the Marilyn Monroe famous white dress. There's a like 428 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: not a wax person, but you know, I mean, there's 429 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: like a model of Alfred Hitchcock holding the Psycho script. 430 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: There's some of the Star Wars costumes. Like it's really 431 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: cool and you just pay like twenty bucks for your 432 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: you know, your ticket. It is busy to get there 433 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: because Hollywood Boulevard is Hollywood Boulevard. It's a huge tourist destination. 434 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: So I used to walk in from Los Veelas, but 435 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: it was like a two hour walk like. It was 436 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: pretty intense. And there are areas that there are tents 437 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: that line the street where homeless people are living at 438 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: the moment. You just got to be super aware, that's all. 439 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: And that has got progressively better over the last two years. Okay, 440 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: next up Disneyland. Of course, it's a right of passage, 441 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: happiest place on earth. I've been to Disneyland twice, once 442 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: to interview the beautiful Tanua Hennessy, so I literally drove 443 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: in and did the interview, and the other time I 444 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: went and had a full, full blown fun adventure day. 445 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: Really good one. If you've got Bambinos, go early. That 446 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: is the biggest act, and you can buy this ticket 447 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: called a fast Pass, and that means you don't need 448 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: to line up as long as everybody else, which saves 449 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: a lot of time if you want to get through 450 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: a lot of rides. Universal studios as well. Another good one. 451 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: Dodger's Game is really great. That's really easy to get to. 452 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: That's not far from where I was it's such a 453 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: good atmosphere. Goodbybe. I think I've been to three two 454 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: or three Dodgers games now, love them. Cool atmosphere and 455 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: Americans are so passionate about what but like fireworks go off. 456 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: If you go on a Friday night match, you know 457 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: it's all. Everything is cool, even like the food is themed. 458 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: It's very really cool, like Dodgers themed NBA. I haven't 459 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: been yet. It looks incredible. It's just really expensive, so 460 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: like a thousand dollars ticket expensive. So I haven't been yet, 461 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: but it looks so, so, so good. But I'll pop 462 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: it on your list, and I imagine you've got a 463 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: book in advance. The other one that's really cool is 464 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: going to taping. So I went to a taping of 465 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: a sitcom in Burbank, which is where a lot of 466 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: the studio lots are. I went to the taping of 467 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel that's on Hollywood Boulevard. And I went to 468 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 1: a taping of James Corden. All amazing. They're free. So 469 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: going to tapings just means you've got to book a 470 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: little bit in advance, put your name down and it's 471 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: you and a lot of people putting their name down, 472 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: so because it's kind of like what people love doing 473 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: when they visit Los Angeles. So just pop your name 474 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: down and see you'll know within I know, like a 475 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: week if you've been approved or not. And then if 476 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: you've been approved, and so yeah, book it in advance. 477 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: But if you've been approved, yeah you get to go. 478 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: You get a free Arbo out and it's just fun 479 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: to see that kind of behind the scenes of a 480 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: talk show. Incredible the standout like Jimmy Kimmel is away 481 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: the day that I went, so that he had to 482 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: stand in. But seeing James Corden was incredible. I just 483 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: feel like James Gordon might have wound up by the 484 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: end of the year. I think he might have hung 485 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: his shoes up. I'd love to see Steve. Steve Colbert 486 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: is my favorite that's based out of New York. So 487 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: maybe I have to put that on my New York 488 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: dream list. Okay, the other thing I did this is 489 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: a bit of a hippie thing. There's a place on 490 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard where you can get candle readings. You want 491 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: to be in LA for a fair few weeks to 492 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: do this, because you've got to burn this hand or 493 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: whenever you're home and just let it burn out. Obviously 494 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: you put it out when you leave and stuff leave 495 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: the house, but then you take it in. It takes 496 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: like eight days ten days to burn and then you 497 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: take it in and they do a reading of the residue. 498 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: That place is on Hollywood Boulevard. Message me, I don't 499 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: know the name off by heart. It's got a really 500 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: interesting name, but message me if you want to know, 501 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you about it. Oh. Another cool place 502 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: to visit if you're into music is the Guitar Center, 503 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: totally free to visit. It's also on Hollywood Boulevard. It's 504 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: really really cool and it's got like a podcast room, 505 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: it's got a guitar room, a drum room, it's got 506 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: an acoustic like it's just really really cool. It made 507 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: me think Boss would love it. Like there's just walls 508 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: and walls of guitars, but that's really cool. And it's 509 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: got like handprints of amazing musicians out the front as well, 510 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: very very cool. The other thing is like that comes 511 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: up a little bit with our layers like safety. Obviously 512 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: there are guns in America which can be really really scary, 513 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: but like it's just about like I when I'm there, 514 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: I'm alone as well, so like I'm fully aware that 515 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: I'm like a prime target. So you just got to 516 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: have your wits about you. You've just got to be 517 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: like really clear. I don't go out alone at night ever, 518 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: I'll always go out with mates. And if i go 519 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: out with mates, I'll tell them that I'm a bit 520 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: paranoid and get them to drop me home and stuff 521 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: like that. So you just got to be like quite 522 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: savvy about it. And I'll always like good little tricks. 523 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: I put find my phone on and share it with Matt, 524 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: just so that like if anything, if I was uncomfortable 525 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: at all, I'd let him know, and you know, he 526 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: can at least, like I've got a bunch of friends 527 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: now that he could contact for me. So that's probably 528 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: the only thing that's like a bit oh, I would say, 529 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: the rest is amazing. Like when I'm there, I'm in 530 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: acting class, I'm in voice class. I'm going to Great Yogs. 531 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: Like it is a great lifestyle and it is an 532 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: expensive place to be. But if you go there and 533 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, don't do the party boozy drinking all the time, 534 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: and actually go there for like a reason. It is 535 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: incredible and it is like the king of an and 536 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: queen of all things entertainment. So if you are aspiring 537 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: to work in the entertainment industry like I am, it's 538 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: wonderful because you are in the melting pot and really 539 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: cool opportunities do arise. You just have to be really 540 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: like open and ready for them. So I would highly 541 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: recommend visiting Los Angeles. I mean, you could do other 542 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: things like tack on San Diego or San Francisco, or 543 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, do some things along that West coast. It's 544 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: about six hours from New York, so if you were 545 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: to do La New York, it's a bit of a 546 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: it's a bit of a trek, but it's completely doable. 547 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: They're on different time zones, of course, though, whereas if 548 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: you stay West Coast, it's going to be so easy 549 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: for you. But yeah, I think, just do it, book 550 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: a trip, enjoy. I hope this has been helpful. It's 551 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: I call La the Beautiful Beast because some days you'll 552 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: be driving and you'll look at those palm trees and 553 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: be like, oh my goodness, like I'm living in a dream. 554 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: This is so amazing. And then there'll be days where 555 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: you've filmed like eighteen self tapes and you haven't had 556 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: one response, and you think that you're the worst thing 557 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: and with zero talent in the world, and it can 558 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: be really deflating. And so it is a beautiful beast 559 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: in that some days are phenomenal and other days aren't. 560 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: That's just the truth of the matter. But for me, 561 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: as long as I'm continuing my training and continuing to 562 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: learn and to skill up, then I figure I'm just 563 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: getting more and more ready for when that opportunity does come. 564 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: So I love LA. If you're ever visiting and not 565 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: sure where to go whatever, just reach out, let me 566 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: know and I'll tell you what I think is a 567 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: good a good spot. There's loads of stuff on Airbnb. 568 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: Just save your pennies. Obviously the Australian dollar isn't as 569 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: strong as the American dollar, so save your have fun, 570 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: do it all. And this what I've shared is just 571 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg.
