Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with

00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Welcome

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: to your Los Angeles Diary pod. Big week, fun week,

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: lots to cover. I have three notebooks open in front

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of me with all the notes from the last seven days. Also,

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: it literally feels like summer in La. Americans are walking around.

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: Being like, oh my god, it's eighty five.

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Today, which I think is like high twenties, mid to

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: high twenties. I want to say, probably high twenties because

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven. Might even be thirty today Aussie in Celsius.

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, because it's getting to one hundred. It's getting

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: to one hundred on the weekend, which is forty I

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: want to say. So Alai's getting this real like hot warm,

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: snap right now, Okay, how funny I just told you

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: about the weather. There is so much exciting stuff to

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: tell you. First of all, I'm going to start with

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and do it in chronological audier.

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: So you know, Matt and I am massive Peaky Blinders fans,

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: and you know that the Peaky Blinders movie is coming

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: out to Netflix on the twentieth of March, but from

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: the sixth of March it's been in select theaters across

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: the world as far as I'm aware. And we went

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: we went to this epic old theater in Hollywood called

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: the Egyptian Theater. So it's been around since the nineteen twenties.

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: In fact, the first ever movie premiere in Los Angeles,

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Robin Hood, a silent film in nineteen twenty two, had

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: its premiere there. And it is so beautiful. There's like

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Egyptian art on the walls, there a on the ceiling.

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: There's this huge golden scarub beetle. Is that what they're called.

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I swear to my therapist about the other day and

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: I called it a carab beetle. It's definitely a scarab beetle,

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: and it's just beautiful. It's I didn't know this, but

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: it's the same designers or the same designer as the

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Chinese Theater, which is literally diagonally directly across the road,

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of movie premieres are usually.

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: So Netflix has bought The Egyptian in Los Angeles, and

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: they also owned this beautiful old theater in New York

43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: called the Paris and that's where I went last year

44
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to the movie premiere for kind of Pregnant. So that's

45
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: a beautiful old theater in kind of like Midtown in Manhattan.

46
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: And the theory is that Netflix owned these theaters so too.

47
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: And I could be wrong, but like apparently, to get

48
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: to be eligible for award season, you have to have

49
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: a minimum two week run on in the theater, and

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: so Netflix puts things on for a couple of weeks

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: and then it's a way that they become eligible for

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: award seasons. Like Frankenstein the Jacobladi Frankenstein, He's won a

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: bunch of awards, and it had that run in theater

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: before it came to Netflix.

55
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: So it's a really smart, genius idea.

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about the Egyptian is when Netflix

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: bought it, they refirmed it. They spent seventy million dollars

58
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: on making it look incredible. It is so beautiful. Tickets

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: are literally fifteen bucks. It's so so, so.

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: So gorgeous.

61
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would highly recommend if you are in

62
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and you're like, I don't know, like I

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: want to go to a theater, I don't you know,

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I kind of want that old Hollywood feel.

65
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: There are a lot of historic theaters in LA.

66
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: So you've got the New Beverly in Tarantino owns that

67
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: that's in Beverly Hills. He also owns the Vista that's

68
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: in Los Pheelis. There's another like cool purple theater in

69
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Los Pheelers, part of this like art house series. You've

70
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: got the Ultimo I believe it's called Draft House downtown.

71
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful old theater. The Egyptian, the Chinese Theater.

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Dolby Theater is where the Oscars are, so they were

73
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: setting up for the Oscars when we went to the Egyptian. Anyway,

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: so beautiful. But I'm just gonna give you a little

75
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: like taste of the Egyptian because like, if you're in

76
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: La go to a theater. The Egyptian Theater changed the

77
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: world of cinema when it opened its doors in nineteen

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: twenty two, providing a laviage lavish an immersive movie experience

79
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: for Hollywood audiences. The theater revolutionized film exhibition. How's the

80
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: first Hollywood movie premierees? I mentioned Robert Hood starring Douglas

81
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: Fairbanks and introduced the original red ca up at the

82
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Egyptian was a fixture of Hollywood's Golden age. A classic,

83
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: that esteemed movie. An esteemed movie palace holds great, great

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: historical significance in the world of cinema. This historic venue

85
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: has been home to incredible cinematic experiences, helping to establish

86
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Hollywood as the movie capital of the world, well becoming

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: a vital part of cultural heritage. How good, but yeah,

88
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: it's fully been restored to its original like how it

89
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: was in the heyday. It is so beautiful and it

90
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: is one of only five remaining theaters in the United

91
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: States capable of projecting nitrate film. The film stock used

92
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: from eighteen eighty nine to the nineteen fifties, as well

93
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: as thirty five mail and seventy mil and digital formats

94
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: being bringing classic classics to modern life. When I booked

95
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: the Peaky movie, it says, like what stock of film

96
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: they're using?

97
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: Very cool?

98
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: They end up using the digital one because I'm just

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: guessing that's you know, that was what they did to

100
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: roll out across the world.

101
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: But very interesting.

102
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: And also if you're like mad for a Netflix show

103
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: or you're a big fan, there's a Netflix store there too,

104
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: And there was like heaps of Stranger Things merch, loads

105
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: of Bridgeton merch. There was nothing peaky. I was like, oh,

106
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I would have definitely bought a Peaky tea. You know,

107
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm mad for merch. Anyway, Highly recommend you just book online,

108
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: so easy. We actually didn't end up booking online. We

109
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: just drove there and it was ten out of ten

110
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: no notes. That morning, I also went to the Hollywood

111
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Farmer's Market with my mate Brian and sat mates Brian

112
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: and Zam and the La Marathon was on, so we

113
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: cheered on the marathon for a bit and then got

114
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: all our organic goods after that, and then came home,

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: worked for a bit, and then the Boss and I

116
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: went to like a movie and we've just had daylight

117
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: savings here so when you get out at like six

118
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: six said, it's still nice and light, right, So the

119
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: movie itself, can I tell you, sitting in this old theater,

120
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: truly sitting in this old theater, and then Killian Murphy

121
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: does this voiceover and it's like, Hey, I'm Killian Murphy.

122
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: You're seeing this in theaters before it comes out on Netflix.

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Spoilers are terrible. Please do not share whatever happens in

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: this movie with anyone until it's officially out on Netflix

125
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: on the twentieth. And then he says, by order of

126
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the Peaky Blinders, and.

127
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: I started crying. Yeah, Yeah, I did. I did. I

128
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: started crying.

129
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I just got so overwhelmed one of my favorite actors

130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: in this beautiful old theater. You just heard some of

131
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: the history of it, like it's been around from the heyday.

132
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I just couldn't control my emotion. The movie itself is fantastic.

133
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Barry Kiyogan is in it. I think I'm giving nothing

134
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: away by saying he plays Juke, which is Tommy Shelby's son. Also,

135
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: if you're a big Peaky Blinders fan on Netflix, they

136
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: have a three part video podcast, like twenty minute episodes,

137
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, I believe the interviewer's name is Alan Or,

138
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: but she interviews Killian Stephen Knight, the creator, Barrick Yogan,

139
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: the costume designer, the actress that plays aidas shall be

140
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: very cool, highly high and they bring historians in to

141
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: talk about how true it was to the time. Anyway,

142
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: highly recommend. It's obviously going to be out on Netflix

143
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: in like a week's time, but yeah, so good. And

144
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: also like if you're in La, definitely go to the

145
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Chinese Theater or go to the Egyptian Theater, like, and

146
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,239
Speaker 1: it's also right next to where Jimmy Kimmel is records

147
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: and you can go there for free, like that's you

148
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: just put your name down. You either walk past and

149
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: put your name down, or you can sign up online,

150
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: Like it's so easy to sign up and be a

151
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: audience member on Jimmy Kimmel.

152
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: And it's all in the heart of Hollywood, Like it's.

153
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: All in that main drag where the Walk of Fame

154
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: stars are, and right when you get out of the

155
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: Egyptian it's got like Cate Blanchette star. I'm pretty sure

Speaker 1: people in that first time. I'm not interviewing anyone so

187
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: in two days. So I've just been madly researching. So

190
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm making color coordinating flash cards. Because there are different

191
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: panels talking about different things. So we've got a panel

192

Speaker 1: on like Ossie Cafe culture, We've got a panel on

193
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,760

00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: know aerospace engineers and very exciting slash a little nerve wracking.

195
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Then we've got a panel on like AI and tech.

196
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: I've just found out today Matt speaking on a panel

197
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: about the business side of creatives and he's coming on

198
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: as a composer, so cool. And then of course there's

199
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: a creator real creatives, which is like showrunners from TV shows, movies,

200
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: shorts that are all within the festival, and Ozzie's are

201
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: just killing it, so I'm really excited.

202
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: To do these interviews.

203
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm also, as you know, very a type, very control freak,

204
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: very love prep, so just gonna really knuckle down the

205
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: next few days and collate all of my invasion. I've

206
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: kind of been like very whimsical in the way I've

207
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: taken notes for the last week. I've just as soon

208
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: as I get sent a guest s bio, I'm like amazing,

209
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: and then I'll watch YouTube clips of the guests and

210
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: then I'll kind of like listen to any other pods

211
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: they've done. But then that guest kind of gets booked

212
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: on something else or gets called away, and so your

213
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: guest gets replaced. So now I've got to like be

214
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more i would say sharp with my

215
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: research and kind of like collated a bit. And I'm

216
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: definitely over sharing the way in which I'm doing research.

217
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: I told you last week I was gonna get my

218
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: cholesterol retested no availabilities in the mornings. So I'm just

219
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna get ahead of it and book for like a

220
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: month's time so that I can because I have to

221
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: be fasted so that i can do that. You know,

222
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: We'll get up one morning, just get it done and

223
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: then happy days.

224
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: What else? Okay, yesterday had a really fun day.

225
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember I told you when I did the

226
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: pilot Codependent, I loved it, which is what's having as

227
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: world premiere at south By.

228
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: I loved it. I prepared really well and really heavily

229
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: for it.

230
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: But I was very anxious on set, like super nervous,

231
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: to the point that I was like, ah, why was

232
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: I so nervous, Like when I do Morning TV? Never nervous,

233
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: So I said to myself when I said to Matt,

234
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: I was like, I need more exposure therapy because I

235
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: was excited, but I was also nervous, and I don't

236
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: want those nerves because I want to be acting, you know,

237
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, So like I I said to Matt, I

238
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: was like, I need to be doing I need to

239
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: be on more sets, not where I'm like making a

240
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: meal or speaking to a host of like you know

241
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: how I do KTLA and Morning TV and stuff like that.

242
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I need more exposure on sets as an actor,

243
00:13:53,559 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: watching actors, learning the lingo, like rolling state, set one reset,

244
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, hitting your mark blah, blah

245
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: blah all that stuff. And so I shot an Indie

246
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: probably like three weeks ago now, maybe even a month ago,

247
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: and I felt so much more relaxed because I'd had

248
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: the experience of being on the pilot and I was like, Oh,

249
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: I know what they mean when they want to do

250
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: like a cold run through. Oh, I know what they

251
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: mean when the director wants to workshop ideas. And I

252
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: was way way more relaxed. And now I'm saying to

253
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: audition for bigger things. I said to Matt, I've got

254
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: to get exposure on bigger sets so that I'm not

255
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: anxious again because I love it and this is my passion,

256
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, And so I said,

257
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: I said to me, I was like, I think I'm

258
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: going to do some background work so that I can

259
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: get the exposure and experience of being on these humongous sets.

260
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: Wow, yesterday I got to work on Gray's Anatom. It

261
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: was so much fun.

262
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: So I played You're not allowed to give anything away, obviously,

263
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: and there it's like very strict rules, like no photos

264
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: as soon as you enter the lot. It's very, very

265
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: very strict, and it's a very well oiled business. I

266
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: mean they're shooting season twenty two right now, and they

267
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: were yesterday.

268
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: But it was so much fun.

269
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: So I was a worried hospital visitor, just pacing so

270
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: for the whole shot. Every time they'd be like and rolling,

271
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I'd just be paid like a worried mum worried about

272
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: their kid in hospital. Right, No lines, nothing like that,

273
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: you literally background and but it was so much fun

274
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: to be on a massive like that is a giant,

275
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: giant set, Like the crew alone is probably around one

276
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: hundred people. The like the actors background, I'm guessing that's

277
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: around one hundred as well. Like it's huge, but it

278
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: is such a fun way to understand, Like this one

279
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: little scene.

280
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: I believe it was a very quick scene. Ten seconds.

281
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: You ran it, I'm gonna say twenty times maybe just shy,

282
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: maybe just shy of twenty times. And that took about

283
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: an hour and a half two hours, But it was

284
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: just cool to learn. Like you arrive, you have to

285
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: do like a full id check of course, then you park,

286
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: they've got like all on site parking, and then you

287
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,479
Speaker 1: walk to a check intent and then you get costume.

288
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: You go to costume, and then they tell you if

289
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: you need to go to props. So depending on if

290
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: you play like an er doctor or a nurse, will

291
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: depend on if you go.

292
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: To props or not.

293
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: And then because obviously you need your stethoscope and your

294
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: patient files, that kind of thing. And then you get

295
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: put into a holding area. And then once every's in

296
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: their holding area, we broke for lunch, so they're like

297
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: lunch break, and so I was like, oh my god,

298
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I feel that we just got here full caded, crafty everything.

299
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: And then we got put back in the holding area

300
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: for like and they had a time down to the minute,

301
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: like it is a humongous production, huge, and then taking

302
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: a set right and then when you get to set,

303
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: you're basically there are multiple like hots, I want to

304
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: call them hot stages, so where there's camera crew all

305
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: set up and there are so many people, like I

306
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are in the props department.

307
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: I in fact think there's props department for depending on

308
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: like whether you're in an er room versus a weight

309
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: room versus like where I was, I was kind of

310
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: like pacing outside not I don't know what I'm allowed

311
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: to say anyway, as kind of pacing, and they call

312
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: them crossovers if you're a walking character.

313
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: Anyway, it was.

314
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: Just so fun because like right before they hit record,

315
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: you'd hear this big like drill sound like.

316
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe it.

317
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: It's like a huge like almost an alarm like because

318
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: that means they're about to record. And then you look

319
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: up and you'd see a huge flashing red light, so

320
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: knowing that it's live recording, and then you just hear

321
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: someone yell rolling and then we had another like a

322
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: pa with us that'd be like go, and then we'd

323
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: know to walk and to move to our mark and

324
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: then when to move back. But yeah, it was like

325
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: a very well oiled machine. Then we got back put

326
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: in holding and then they'd have to take your photos

327
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: and then you give your you had like ID cards,

328
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: you have to give them back as well. And then

329
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: by the time I'd got home, I had been sent

330
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: like my hours and I had to approve them. Anyway,

331
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: very cool, so much fun just to be on like

332
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: a mega set where there are so many working actors

333
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: and so the energy of it was just so fun.

334
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: I know in Australia.

335
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: In Australia, in the acting world, like background acting is

336
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: kind of like turned down, looked down upon a little bit.

337
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: But for me, I was like, my whole thing is

338
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: like also America, who is so much bigger, and no

339
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: one knows if you're background acting or not. And I

340
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: know a lot of actors did do do background acting

341
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: for the same reason I'm doing it, which is like

342
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: I just want to get exposure so that when I

343
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: am on set playing a speaking role or a guestie

344
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: or you know, one day hopefully a lead role, that

345
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, I know what. I know they're

346
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: going to run at twenty times. Oh yeah, I know

347
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: that sound. Oh yeah, And it doesn't become nervous, it

348
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: just becomes natural. And so for me, I feel like

349
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm really kind of doing more of the thing I love. Also,

350
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: you get to manifest like you're literally on one of

351
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: the most successful sets of the world twenty two epps,

352
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: like twenty two seasons, Like they're about to hit five

353
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: hundred EPs soon, Like that's in the realm of what

354
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: in cis like been around forever anyway, it was so

355
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: much fun. Like I said, you can't share anything about

356
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: you sign all these contracts about that, but I'm pretty

357
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: sure I can say I did it.

358
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: I loved it and I can't wait to do it again.

359
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hope that maybe a bit of it

360
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: inspires you to go out and get closer to that

361
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: thing you love. And I think in the creative world

362
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: as an actor, it can feel sometimes like you're waiting

363
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: for the phone to call ring, you're waiting for the agent,

364
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: or you're waiting for the credit and the two you can't.

365
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: It's really hard to get credits without agents, da da da.

366
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: And for me, I just feel like this is getting

367
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: me so ready for when that next call happens. Like,

368
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: for example, if the pilot gets sold at south By Southwest,

369
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: that's what we're there for. By the way, Also, yes

370
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: i'm hosting for Aussie house but hosting their pod, but

371
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: also the world premiere for the pilot Codependent is happening,

372
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: and it's there is a second screening as well, and

373
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: in a dream world, that'll be sold and if that

374
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: gets sold, everything gets reshoot.

375
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: You're in production like pretty quick.

376
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: And so I'm so excited that I keep doing all

377
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: of this exposure therapy so that when I get that opportunity,

378
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm so ready. It's a bit like Michael Jordan not

379
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: to compare myself to Michael Jordan.

380
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: But it's that same.

381
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: Work ethic of he took ballet lessons so that his

382
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: footwork was better.

383
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: On the basketball court. So I don't know, I do know.

384
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: I just think, like, spend more time doing this stuff

385
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: you love and do the stuff that helps you feel

386
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: ready but also helps you manifest more of the stuff

387
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: you love. Also, it's grazed anatomy, like who doesn't want

388
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: to be on that set? Anyway, there's my I hope

389
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: that inspired you a little. Now Monday's app, I'm gonna

390
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,920
