So 173 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: it's really beautiful writing by Taylor Sheridan. And yeah, I'm 174 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: really nervous though, because Southern an American accent is fine. 175 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: An Aussie accent obviously, we all do it without thinking 176 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: about it. But a Southern accent is hard and it 177 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: can sound really airy like you and I have a 178 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: low voice, so that makes it really hard for me. 179 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: Anyway, I digress. 180 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm nervous in case you can't tell about acting school, 181 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: but also excited. 182 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: And that's Malbs. That's Malves in a nutshell. 183 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: Four days in Malbs and came down to do the 184 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: pods and then just added on as much as I could. 185 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: So I'll be checking in with you next week. Backing 186 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 2: Byron Bay next week. I hope everybody is having a 187 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: ripper week, and remember go do the stuff you love.
