Speaker 1: to your Ala Diary. Coming to from Actually are not

00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: so sunny Los Angeles today. Today is the first time

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen it rain in LA and it's

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: raining really consistently. It's interesting because I'm doing a little

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: bit of moving around until I move into my proper

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: rental and he's still asking where that is. It's the

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: same place I was last time, and so I can't

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: get into the next rental in the instrumental seven pm

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: tonight and I check out at two today and it's

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: I was like, great, I'll just go for a mega walk.

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I'll get a big salad, you know, like a hod

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: of this plant is literally has not stopped raining, I

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: think from last night. So I've got to figure out

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: my next move, my next game plan, right, Oh, so

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: I want to give you My goal with these LA

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Diaries is just be really upfront, open and honest with you,

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: and I'll just share highs lows. I mean, the podcast

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: is called Fearlessly Failing, So I'll share the failures. I've

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: already had a few of them in the time that

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: I've been here, and I'll share the little winds and

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: the little cool moments and the you know, delicious food

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: and things that I'm trying. So I've got a list

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: for you here. I've also tried some things where have

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: I put them? Are there in my die So I've

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: tried some like hear this that I've tried some brain

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: tonic things, so I've got them saved to talk to

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you about. I haven't tried any American protein bars yet

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: because I packed my favorite Aussie ones and you can't

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: get them here. I'm just going to read them to

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: you anyway, because they're clean. And a study came out

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: finally this week saying that artificial sweeteners are linked to cancer.

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And I am a person that has definitely had protein

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: bars with artificial sweeteners in them before, and I quickly

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: looked at the back of these ones and These guys

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: have got no artificial sweeteners, no gluten, no sway, no

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: artificial sweeteners, no preserves, no sugar, alcohols, and thirty three

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: grams of protein. They're called smart bars, smart protein bars.

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: I can only get these in Australia, so I've literally

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: got three left that I'm kind of rationing out that

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: I packed from Australia. I'm kicking myself at the impact

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: more so the two flavors I've got. I've got choc

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: chip cookie dough left and salted caramel. I had a

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: raspberry cheesecake yesterday and that was really, really really nice

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: back in their little container. If you can hear shuffler.

52
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: So the week that was, So it's been a week

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: since I spoke to you. I have had a few

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: hiccups along the way, so I've changed things have changed

55
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: a little bit in the last week. So let's just

56
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: start the start. I am recording this from a hotel

57
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica. This is not gifted. It's called the Huntly.

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: It's really great if you don't have a car and

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: you want to kind of like discover Santa Monica on foot.

60
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend it. It's on the corner of

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Second Street, so that means just literally the second street

62
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: back from the beach, and then another street called California Ave.

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: And from here you can walk to the beach, you

64
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: can walk to the famous Santa Monica Pia, you can

65
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: walk up this awesome strip of eateries called Montana Ave,

66
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: you can get to Third Street Promenade. Like all the

67
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: attractions of Santa Monica are within walking distance from here.

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: So it's been so nice and it hasn't been raining

69
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: other than today, so it's been really easy to just

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of like walk do a massive beach walk and

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: he kind of get a vibe for a lay of

72
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: the land. And then what happened with me is I

73
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: was meant to be house sitting how many days ago now,

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: a few days ago now, and that literally fell through

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: like two hours before I was meant to get there,

76
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my goodness, I can't even

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: call Boss because it's two am in the morning for him.

78
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, what do I do? What do

79
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: I do? What I do? And I just ran downstairs

80
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: to the hotel and I was like, can I get

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: a lady check out? They're like, yep, of course you can,

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: And so they are amazing. And then I had this

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: amazing mate Sam. Shout out to Sam. I don't know

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: if he listens to the pod, and he just called

85
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: me and he's like, right, this is what you can do.

86
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: He was like helping me find airbnbs. And anyway, I

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: remembered that I've been in contact with this girl here

88
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: that's got an apartment in Santa Monica, and so I

89
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: actually move into that tonight and that sees me through

90
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: for the next ten days before I go to Los Feelers.

91
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: So your next diary will be coming from her apartment.

92
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: It looks really gorge and it's again in a nice

93
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: area to walk and I don't have my car yet.

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: I get that in about a week my car, so

95
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting to kind of like farm my feet. I

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: did have a little mini anxiety attack when the house

97
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: sitting fell through so last notice, and I was like,

98
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what do I do? What do I do?

99
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: What do I do? And I was just I'd already

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: spent a night on a meet's couch and I just

101
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to keep you know, I have this thing

102
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: I think I just don't like I don't like the

103
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: feeling of being a burden. It might be a Virgo thing.

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I was like, oh, going back

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: to sleeping on someone's catch, I'm not going to get

106
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: any work done. I'm not going to be aud a

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: pod like you're in somebody else's space, so you can't

108
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: really do your thing right. So I just extended the

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: hotel a few nights and they were amazing. They were

110
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: really easy to work with, and they've given me another

111
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: late check out today. Like I said, I can't get

112
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: into that apartment till seven tonight, And yeah, hopefully I'm

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: going to record this pod, upload it, send it to

114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: the Bosso, and then pack and then I'm hoping the

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: rain maybe just remarkably stops for a couple of hours

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: while I go for a big walk, but we'll see.

117
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: So that's my living stitch. And then after that apartment

118
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica, I go back, literally back to where

119
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: you would remember me coming to you from in Los Phelis.

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: That's all organized and being pre organized in events, so

121
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: I can breathe easy knowing that that's locked in, and

122
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I won't be such a gypsy, you know, at the

123
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: like the way I am right now. That said, having

124
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: the grounding of this hotel has been really great because,

125
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't have a car, so I

126
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: can walk everywhere and you can meet mates for beach walks.

127
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: It's really easy to be active and feel good here.

128
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: And there's a gym in the hotel, so I've been

129
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: able to do a little bit of weights to my

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: little platz i' pat my pilates band, and so I

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: mean to my little platz works out workouts. Another fun

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: fact about this hotel, this isn't sponsored, by the way.

133
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't gifted this. I didn't get a discount. It's

134
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: just I worked with my travel advisor Lauren, and we

135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: found something that didn't kind of break the bank, but

136
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: it still felt really nice and it was in a

137
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: really really nice location. And Lauren helped me find this,

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: And so this is yeah, one hundred percent not sponsored

139
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: or gifted or anything like that. But I did want

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: to say they have the top floor where the restaurant

141
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: is at this hotel. It's called the Penthouse, and they

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: have a glass elevator and so as you go up

143
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: on the outside of the building, you get beautiful views

144
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: of all of Santa Monica, down the beach, all the

145
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: way to Pacific Palisades and back the other way to Venice.

146
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: It's real, real nice. And then when you get up

147
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: to the top, it's like panoramic views. You can see

148
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: back to the city and downtown, or you can see

149
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: like more beach vibes. Really cool, and I would say

150
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty good hotel. It's like a little bit more

151
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: than a hotel in Venice, which is kind of the

152
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: next suburb. But it's the best value that I could

153
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: find of a hotel in Santa Monica. So yeah, that's

154
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: that's my take on the hotel. So that's called the

155
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: Huntly in Santa Monica. Do I do food updates for

156
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: you now? I'm just trying to think. I've got lists,

157
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: I've got notes, I've got everything here. We are back

158
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: to doing book reviews this week as well, So I've

159
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: got a book review for you in here. Let's talk food.

160
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: I have done a few air one visits, as you know,

161
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: that's probably my favorite health place in la It is

162
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: really expensive. So I got a smoothie the other day.

163
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: It's called the Cloud Smoothie. It's kind of like what

164
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: they're promoting in store at the moment, and it's really yummy. Actually,

165
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: I should figure out how much it is because it's

166
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: in US dollars. Plus you've got to add a tax

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to that. Let me do this quickly. So I got

168
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: this cloud smoothie right, and it was US seventeen dollars

169
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: that's not with tax. And then I'm going to see

170
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: how much that is. Aud, Oh, come on see us

171
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: two aud I want to see how much it costs. Okay,

172
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: so twenty two dollars for this smoothie. Twenty two to

173
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: sixty that. I don't know what the tax would have

174
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: been on that, so let's call it twenty three to

175
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks for a smoothie. So it is really expensive.

176
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I definitely won't be able to go there all the time,

177
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: but it was fun like as a landing padn I

178
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: went there a couple of times. I went there with mo,

179
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: I went there with my friend Sam, and I went

180
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: there with my friend Charlie, and each time I got

181
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: different food. So I can tell you all about it,

182
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: but I will talk to you about this famous clouds. Mean,

183
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: it looks really cool. It literally looks like a blue

184
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:51,119
Speaker 1: cloud in a smoothie. It's got almond milk, coconut cream. Avocado, almond, butter, banana,

185
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: Blue Magic, which I think is that blue spirollina, banana, pineapple,

186
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: vanilla collagen and vanilla Stevia. Look, it was young. Would

187
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: I get it again for twenty five bucks? No effing way.

188
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: But it was really young, and it was cool to

189
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: have that kind of like I can't in American air

190
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: wany experience. And that was at Air one in sat

191
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Is that the Santa Monica one. Yeah, that was the

192
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: Santa Monica Air one. I got what I call the

193
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: sam salad, but it's really just a chopped salad and

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: it's got some dried tomatoes through it. Caeper's a bit

195
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: of feta. It's really really nice and you just kind

196
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: of like dress it yourself so you don't need to

197
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: go ham on dressing. You can kind of like you

198
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: can kind of tailor it to make it work for you,

199
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: which was really nice. He got a chaie after on

200
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: almond milk. What else did we get? Oh? And then

201
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: I went the next hour crap with my friend Charlie,

202
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: and we also went for a big beach walk. We

203
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: walked more the opposite way away from Venice, real nice

204
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: beautiful palm trees and we end up kind of like

205
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: walking the streets, which is completely different because I've been

206
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: walking on the beach this whole time. And then we

207
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: went to air One. He really likes the Venice one,

208
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, you got to go to

209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: the hot section, which I had never done before. So

210
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: we got you get like a protein and then two

211
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: sides Whole Foods do the same thing, and so we

212
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: got he picked it all. It was like chicken, some

213
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of chicken thing. I am focusing on being a

214
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: lot more plant based, but I'm just doing it like

215
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: baby steps. I know some people will totally disagree with that,

216
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: and I fully understand and respect that. I'm just kind

217
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: of like just seeing how I go with it. And

218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: then I got it with like they don't call it

219
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: pumpkin here, they call it squash squash and this salsa

220
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: verde kind of like green sauce on top, and that

221
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: was delicious. And then I got it with shredded at

222
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: cooked Brussels sprouts, also delicious. Highly highly highly recommend. I'm

223
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: really looking forward to going to getting something like that again,

224
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: like going back to the hot section. But I have

225
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: my plan with air Ones. I don't break the bank

226
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: is to just use it when I'm chilling with mates,

227
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: because that's such a beautiful place to go and it's

228
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: really healthy and it feels like a little bit of

229
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: a treat financially, so Whole Foods is a bit cheaper,

230
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: and then Traded Joe's is cheaper. Again. I haven't been

231
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's yet. There's just not any in this vicinity.

232
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: I think there is. I've googled where I'm moving to next,

233
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: and I think there is. So don't you worry. All

234
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: the Trader Joe's reviews will be coming and I'll have

235
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: a kitchen there, so I don't have a kitchen here

236
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and I can't use the fridge. You get charged twenty

237
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: five bucks a day if you do, so I just

238
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: I've just kind of been like going out and getting

239
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: a salad like late RVO and having kind of an

240
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: early dinner. So that's air one oh one thing that

241
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Charlie got me onto. When they're delicious. They're a keito

242
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: almond caramel, really good. Thank god you can buy them

243
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: in singles because you can also buy them in a

244
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: four pack, which is danger vibes because you have them

245
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: all in one go and they use aluloster sweeten which

246
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: remember in the last diary I did with you, I

247
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: talked about the sweet fish and it's that smart candy.

248
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: It's all sweetened with that alulose, which is really great.

249
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: It's like naturally occurring. I think it's occurring in raisins

250
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: and really interesting things like artichokes, and then that's what

251
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: they used to sweeten it, but it doesn't impact blood

252
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: sugar levels. Really interesting, really yummy, and they did it.

253
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: They also had a kto pinut butter one, but I'm

254
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: more yum and butter girl with a little layer of caramel.

255
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I will definitely try and get one of them again

256
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: if I remember, like craving sweet stuff because it's so,

257
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: so so good. Okay, have I hit all the Air

258
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: one stuff? You know? I did my Air one like

259
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: pumpkin pine and stuff all last week? Delicious, delicious. There's

260
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: got three I've seen now, because I mean, if you

261
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: don't S've got three different pumpkin pies at Air one. Sorry,

262
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I have a clear obsession with pumpkin pies. They have

263
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: a raw vegan gluten free one which is good but

264
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: it tastes like you're having a raw treat. Then the

265
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: one that I got, which is vegan and gluten free,

266
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: but it's like a cooked proper and pie. My favorites

267
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: kind of let my go to, or the one that

268
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: if you're just like fuck it. Also I nearly felt

269
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: bad for swearing, but then I realized it's my own pod.

270
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: I can stuff it, I'll say, And that's got more

271
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: the gram cracker, like the traditional and taste that traditional

272
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie. I had that last time I was here.

273
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: It was so good. I'm just really my mantra for

274
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: this trip is like I want to stay really clear,

275
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: like this is the time I need to sort out

276
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: manager agent all that kind of stuff over here, because

277
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: I can't get an audition without it. So I just

278
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: want to stay really clear. And for me that is

279
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: like moving my body, eating really good food, sleeping really well,

280
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: feeding my brain really well as well. So that's kind

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: of my mantra and motto this trip. Whereas last trip

282
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: I can now see in hindsight, I was constantly quite

283
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: stressed out. I think with all the moving flights and

284
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: not knowing I get back into Australia in time with

285
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: a book to of fearlessly failing, I was getting really

286
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: really anxious because I had five flights anseled and I

287
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: think I emotionally ate without realizing it. So I'm hoping

288
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: this trip I can just feel a little bit more

289
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: just clear clear is kind of like my mandra right. Oh,

290
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned about how the stories came out about artificial sweetness,

291
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: so that's like a spa time superlose. So you know

292
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: those numbers on the back of bars that are like

293
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: nine five one nine five one a nine five, Oh,

294
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I think they're all Actually I think I've got I've

295
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: still got a Quest bar here. That's my backup, like

296
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: it's my emergency. But I probably will try not to

297
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: buy them again because although they bring on a great

298
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie one B because of the they've got sucralose.

299
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Let's see what number it is. It doesn't say, so

300
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: it's got stevier in here, but then it's got sucralose,

301
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: which is one of the artificial ones, which is sad

302
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: because I love Quest bars and one bars, and I

303
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of yummy protein bars last time I

304
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: was here, but a lot of them would have had

305
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: official sweetness in them. So I'm really going to try

306
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: and go natural this time and see what i can

307
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: find and obviously a little bit more plant based too,

308
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: because it's one of my goals. So that's where I'm

309
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: at with the bars. We've done air one. Oh I

310
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: did have another little treat. I was walking down I

311
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: think I was still super jet lagged. I was walking

312
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: down this Montana av It's really good. There's so many

313
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: healthy places, like lots of There's like this place called

314
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: bread Block and it's all just like gluten free deliciousness.

315
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: There's a place across the road from that called Key

316
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: or Kayagner Key, I think it's called Key that's all

317
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: health like paleo vegan, gluten free. And I think there's

318
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: Backyard Bowls somewhere around here which is Asai Bowls. There's

319
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: so many cool, healthy, yummy places. But I saw baby Cakes,

320
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: which I first tried many many years ago in New York,

321
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: and they have one on i want to say, on

322
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Larchmont have which is like a whole different area, but

323
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: they have one here in Santa Monica, and I was like, oh,

324
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: I've got to do it. So I had a full blowout.

325
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: I had all gluten free, all vegan. I had a

326
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: maple donut, but he totally stuffed it up. But wasn't

327
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: a maple glazed donut because I've had that before last

328
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: time is he It was definitely a lemon kind of

329
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: flavored one which was so good, so it was like

330
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: lemon glazed. And then I got a cookies and cream cupcake.

331
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: It was good. It wasn't like wow, but it looked

332
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: really pretty. And then the winner, the winner winn and

333
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: Chicken dinner that I would one again is the carrot

334
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: cake cupcake and it had like an oozy caramel on

335
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: top too. Highly recommend baby Cakes. It's also now called

336
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: I think she's changed it to her name, which is

337
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: Aaron mckinness's Bake Shop. But yeah, vegan, gluten free the

338
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: whole shop. So it's fun if you've got like a

339
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: birthday or a party, or you want to get someone

340
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: a treat that and they try to be pretty healthy,

341
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: so highly recommend that one. And that was a fun

342
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: little treaty to have. I've tried these tonics that I

343
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: mentioned to you before. So the first one I've got.

344
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: The brand is called natural Stacks and these ulnotropics, right,

345
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: so like stuff to basically work on brain relaxation, memory,

346
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: cognitive function. So this one is called mag tech. It's

347
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: for relaxation and brain health. The flavor is lemonade. I

348
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't get super lemonady vibes. I took this the first

349
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: night or the second night when I was jet lagged

350
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: before I went to bed, and it was just pretty

351
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: much magnesium. I couldn't see anything else in it, such

352
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: tiny print on it. But I couldn't see anything else

353
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: in it other than the mag, which made me think, oh,

354
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: maybe this is just really cool branding. What does it say,

355
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: monk fruits or sweeting with monk freit on? What it does,

356
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: It's got L theronate in it, and then it's got

357
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: the mag the triple mag strain. Anyway, so I took

358
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: that as my mag one night. Liked it and it

359
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: tasted like any other. It felt like I was taking

360
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: any other mag. But what I did like is this

361
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: other one. It's again the same brand, Natural Stacks Neurofuel

362
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Lemonade for better brain. So I took this after my

363
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: coffee in the morning. Now this has got cool stuff

364
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: in it. Okay, So it's got vitamin B six that

365
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: period OXL five phosphate, and then it's got calcium autochoke

366
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: extract and then acetylel carnatine, so we know with the

367
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: acetyl attached to carantine, it really works on brain. It's

368
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: got alf alphenylanlene. It's got collious four shock key root.

369
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: I do not know what that is and that is it,

370
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: but I really like that. That felt really cool to have.

371
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: I noticed I didn't go for a second coffee that

372
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: day because I had that. So it definitely gave me

373
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: some alertness for me. I love we you're not searching

374
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: for words that like verbal fluency, I really love. I

375
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: just took one right before I hit record on this

376
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: podcast of another brand. This brand is called on It.

377
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: I definitely had this last time I was here. I

378
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: don't remember it though. Look it's got a peach flavor.

379
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: I could take a leave of the peach flavor. But

380
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: it supports memory and focus and it says daily cognitive support.

381
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: So I'm going to read this to you, okay. So

382
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: we have got vitamin B six, and then we have

383
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: al tyrosine althianine oatstraw extract, and then we have fosspo

384
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: little seareene sarine sea urene, and then on a formula

385
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: brand L alpha gly phosphor litl coline. That's cool. And

386
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: then we have the Kippie, could be the Copa, but

387
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like O's. They're like E's. And then

388
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: Tooth Club I'm guessing that's like some cool herbal mushroom.

389
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: And then Elle Loosen and black Pepper and potesterin bean. Okay,

390
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: clearly I've just grabbed it. But it's called on It

391
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: and the products Alpha brain instant. I remember now, I'm

392
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: getting flashbacks when I had this. The first time I

393
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: came to LA last year. I accidentally added this to

394
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: my coffee, so it was like peach coffee, not ideal.

395
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: It was much better just in water before. But I

396
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: don't need all the flour. I don't really the flavor

397
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: thing doesn't really do it for me. I'm happy to

398
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 1: just like Nacker powder. So out of all of them,

399
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: i'd say the on It one's my favorite, followed by

400
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: the Neurofuel by Natural Stacks. The mag I could take

401
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: a leave because I've got mag That's my review for

402
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,400

00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: you about. I've been loving Sweet Green the salad bar.

404
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: How have I never been to that before? I might

405
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: have been once, like ten years ago or something, or

406
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: five years ago, but yeah, So I got last night

420
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: I had yes day Guacamoala Greens. So you can sub

421
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: out things, so you can sub out your protein because

422
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: this has got chips in it. I don't really like

423
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: chips in a salad, like tortilla chips, like sea seed,

424
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: not seac's. But you know what I'm trying to say,

425
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: roasted chicken, avocado, tomato, red onion, treaded cabbage, tortilla chips.

426
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: I sub that out and I replaced it with the

427
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: spicy broccoli that I just mentioned in the other combo.

428
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: Then spring mix chopped remain which is another lettuce for them,

429
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: limes squeeze. I noticed when you did the limes squazes,

430
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: you're all over the leafies and that made it taste

431
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: so good. And then a lime cilantro jalapeno vinigarette so good.

432
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think my plan tonight is to try

00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: the super green goodness. That's my plan. But yeah, really good,

434
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: really easy, really healthy, And but they have so many

435
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: good ones, like a harvest bowl. Listen to this harvest bowl,

436
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: roast chicken, roastweet potato, apple goat cheese, roasted almonds, warm

Speaker 1: wild rice, treaded kale, balsamic vinegar. And I mean, I

438
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: know we're not into like canning macro or some people

439
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: are into canning macros and carbs, but it says like

456
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: jalapeno vinigrette. I would totally try that one. Yeah. So anyway,

457
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: and they all say like how many calories are in

458
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: each one? How much protein is in each one? Really cool,

459
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: really cool, highly recommend and I'll be going back there

460
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: today right. Oh. I also had an amazing coffee. Again,

461
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: if you're in Santa Monica, Primo Paso coffee. Actually, Danielle

462
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: wrote to me on Instagram and mate from Malbs and

463
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: recommended I go here, so that's also on Montana av.

464
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: I loved intermitt and fast in the morning, so I

465
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: got a long Black. Interesting. I always thought in America

466
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: you would order an Americano because you can't get along

467
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: black here. And I said to the guys, because I

468
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: know Americanos and long Black's actually are't the same thing.

469
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: It's got to do with like one is an espresso

470
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: with water added and the other ones like hot water

471
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: with the coffee. I don't I haven't quite figured out

472
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: what the difference is, but there's a difference. And I

473
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: said to the guy when I was ordering, I was like, hey,

474
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm in Australia. I order a long black. What's the

475
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: equivalent here? And he said, oh, a lung pool And

476
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: I was like, what, he's like a lung pool And

477
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: I was like, cool, tasted like a long black to me.

478
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: I want to try an Americano when I'm here though,

479
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: because I think I loved them. I remember from last time,

480
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: and it's spring, so it's not summer yet, so when

481
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: it's summer, it's back to cold like cold brew because

482
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: it's just so hot he eats, whereas it's really cold

483
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: and fresh in the mornings and the night. So in

484
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: the morning you can still get a hot coffee which

485
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: is really noise and delico. So that's called Primo parso coffee.

486
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: And that's on Montana av In Santa Monica. Book review today,

487
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: we're doing Lifespan. I know I've touched on it a

488
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: few times in the diary episode, but I want to

489
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: fully review it so that I don't have it on

490
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: my list of things to review. It's an amazing book.

491
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: It is by doctor David Sinclair. Be sure he's a doctor,

492
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: I think, Well, David Sinclair. He's Australian but lives in

493
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: New York, I think. And he is all about longevity

494
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: and the biology of how humans age. And he's amazing,

495
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: really interesting, human being, really cool. The book is a

496
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: science he read, so it has taken me a little

497
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: while to finish it, but I loved it. I also

498
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: would highly recommend if you're into his stuff. He's got

499
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: a great podcast which is literally all about the science

500
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: of aging, why we age, how we can prevent it.

501
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: What we can do for our bodies to make us

502
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: live not only longer, but a more vital life till

503
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: later in life. And he's like, you can one hundred

504
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: percent lived to one hundred and twenty. Like he's really

505
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: pro like longevity, but also like with a really great

506
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: quality of life. And I when I was a kid,

507
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: I used to tell me I'm going to live to

508
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen, and so I was like, maybe

509
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: this is true, maybe I can so. Yeah, David Sinclair

510
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: I love and I've devoured all of his podcasts, So

511
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: if you're not so much of a reader, I would

512
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: recommend his podcast. And then if you are a reader,

513
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: the book Lifespan is great. It is science. He though,

514
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: so it took me a little while as someone that

515
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: likes to like I'm a bit more into storytelling, it

516
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: took me a little while to like get through it.

517
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: Very similar to James Nesta's book Breathe. I loved that

518
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: book as well, but it took me a while to

519
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: get through it, just because you've got to be in that,

520
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: like your brain's got to be in that. I'm here

521
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: to learn face. I hope that makes sense, But yes,

522
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: I highly recommend, absolutely love it. The final thing I

523
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about in this Ala diary

524
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: is I've done some hikes, well all massive walk so

525
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: I've definitely checked out Third Street Promenade, which is like

526
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: a famous shopping strip. I did Santa Monica through this

527
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: park called Pacific Palisades Park, but it wasn't Pacific Palisades like.

528
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: That's ages away between here and Malibu ages away, so

529
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: fair like and probably be another like twenty minutes in

530
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the car. And then I've done Beach to Air one.

531
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: And then yesterday my mate Sarah came to visit. She said, no,

532
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: let's go down on the beach beach and we walked

533
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: all along the beach. It was so good. I'm really

534
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: hoping the rain holds off so i can do it

535
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: again this afternoon when I check out before I move

536
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: into my other house. So that is your LA diary,

537
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: my goals. I had a FaceTime with my dad bless

538
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: his common socks. I love my dad so much. He

539
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: was like, what's your plan? What are you doing? How

540
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna make money? And I was like, mate,

541
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm homeless right now. I need to find our roof

542
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: over my head. So I was, I was very stressed

543
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: out for a day or two. So when I get

544
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: into this next apartment, I'm doing some really working on

545
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: the podcast stuff. And then the goal is of one

546
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent to start to think about managers again and

547
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: agents again. I've got to build a little bit of

548
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: courage for that, because I emailed about roughly about twenty

549
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: different managers last time I was here, and I got

550
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: one reply and I had one meeting and they said

551
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: I was too old. So I really need to kind

552
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: of like get my courage and get my gumption and

553
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: get my bravery up to do that, and which I'm

554
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: sure I will and I'm sure I can. And then

555
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: improv school starts on the sixteenth of April, so I've

556
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: got a couple more weeks before that kicks off, and

557
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll be in the Lost feelss pad by then two

558
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just I'm living the Santa Monica life

559
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: at the moment, which is really fun because I've never

560
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: lived here and it does have holiday vibes because it

561
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: is very palm tree like. I also watched the Oscars

562
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: and it was so surreal to watch the Oscars in

563
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: my hotel room, in my bed, in my Pj's and

564
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: seeing it all come to life. I really really want

565
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: to watch the movie Coder. As a result, I just

566
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: I was getting really teary when I think the actor

567
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: that won I think best supporting his name is Troy

568
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: and I think he's the second deaf actor to win

569
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: an Oscar, and just seeing the whole auditorium fill up

570
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: with like standing ovation and doing the sign language for clapping,

571
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I was getting so so teary. Obviously,

572
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: there was like the big I don't want to use

573
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: word drama, but the big Chris Chris Rock and Will

574
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: Smith debarcle and it's really weird watching in real time.

575
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: And then literally, honestly, like five minutes later he was

576
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: up there winning the Best Actor like Oscar, and so

577
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: it was really surreal because it was like one minute

578
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: he's being really aggressive and hit Chris Rock and kind

579
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: of like abusing him verbally, and then the next minute

580
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: he's collecting an Oscar, like in the space of what

581
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: felt like a few minutes, and then he's crying and

582
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about how he's protecting his family. Now I don't

583
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: I want to like ruffle feathers here, because I think

584
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion, and I fully respect that, but

585
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: it was pretty forl On to watch that kind of

586
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: like aggression, and it felt really violent, like the way

587
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: that he was then like mouthing off to Chris Rock,

588
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: like all in real time on live TV with millions

589
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: of people watching, and then to go up and collect

590
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: and just be really emotional and it just all it

591
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: was really surreal to watch, and obviously, like I one

592
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent don't condone violence like that, and I I'm

593
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: interested to see how it's going to play out, because

594
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure by the time even this pod comes out,

595
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: there's going to be like when I went to bed

596
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: last night, on the news, they were saying that Chris

597
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: Rock wasn't going to press charges and the LAPD had

598
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: like brought out a statement and stuff. But yeah, I'm

599
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: interested to see how it unfolds, because yeah, I just

600
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: don't think you can get away with doing that to

601
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: another human anyway, because that's just no dice. But on

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: live TV at the Academy Awards is just like whoa,

603
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: it's a whole it's a whole new level and it

604
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: just yeah, and I just felt really aggressive to watch.

605
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: That's the best way I can describe it to. You know,

606
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give you an honest opinion. I

607
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: actually got a lot of I got a little bit

608
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: of bullying on Instagram last night. That my because I

609
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: just did an inst A story and wrote, Wow, I

610
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: don't even know what I wrote. It'll still be live,

611
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: it said, what did I write? Here? It is here?

612
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: It is. Oh, we've got to talk about best dressed

613
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: as well? I wrote. The Will Smith thing was pretty

614
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: full on. He hit Chris Rock and went on to

615
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: invest actor, so like it was in the moment, like

616
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: I shed it just as I kind of like saw it.

617
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: And someone wrote to me, you're so weak for not

618
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: saying more, and I was like, whoa. I just don't

619
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: want to offend anybody. But obviously I don't condone condone

620
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: violence at all, and I think that Will Smith is

621
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: probably sitting with a lot of shame right now, and

622
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: because it's you that's as an actor, like that is

623
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of your life and to have just done

624
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: that is just me like, wow, that's yeah, no no bono,

625
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: not no good. So anyway, I just wanted to share,

626
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: like honestly how it felt in the moment, only my

627
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: own opinions he are, so you can judge me as

628
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: much as you want. My favorite speech was Hans Zimmer.

629
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: Obviously Troy as well from Koda was phenomenal, but Hans

630
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: Zimer was on a tour, on his tour somewhere in Europe,

631
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: and he gave this speech in the bathroom and it

632
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: was really really sweet in his robe and he had

633
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: a little plastic oscar so so so cute. His daughter

634
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: woke him up at two am to give him the award.

635
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: And then my favorite dressed stars was Endaya and that

636
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: was like people saying it was a nod to Sharon Stone,

637
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: who wore a similar outfit many many moons ago. And

638
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: then Timothy Shalla. May I mean, come on, both of them,

639
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: just continue to just like absolutely nail the red carpet.

646
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: really got to build that courage to try and get

647
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: a manager up and an agent up in America. You

648
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,360
