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

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,440

00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,080

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Potter Rooney. I'm recording a new space today.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: I have got my.

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: Desk kind of set up like a little mini recording

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: studio because Boss is working and composing for a TV

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: show today in the studio and he needed the studio today,

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: so I've put foam boards in my little working nook.

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, but I think it

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: sounds great anyway. Probably an overshare anyway. So this is

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: a diary for the week that was, which was mainly

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: spent in Malbs to celebrate Christmas with our Fanbam. So

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: essentially we did an early Crimbo with Dad, Matt's parents,

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: and my auntie and uncle in Talks Talkie. Dad has

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: a holiday place up there, so we did it all

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: there on the Saturday and then on the Sunday we

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: went to Dyelsford to see Mum did a crimbo Mums

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: mums really into crimbo. So the house was all decked out,

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: the carols were going and we got there. You know,

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: she'd made gluten free shortbread for us, she'd made a

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: gluten free pudding from scratch, so she was ready to go.

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: And she lived on a beautiful farm in dalesand and

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: she got a new sheep since I had last visited,

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: called Stevie, and so she's like, I really want you

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: to meet Stevie. And turns out Stevie is like a

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: puppy because he's been hand reared, so he just loves humans,

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: which is really cool because he's just like comes up

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: for like cuddles and little scritchy scratches under his chin,

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: and very funny, very cute. They're like eighty kilos by

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: the way. The breed of sheep there, they're called Suffix,

36
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: which I think comes from Suffolk in England. I hope

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying that right. And they're gorgeous. They're very funny.

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: They are like dogs like they really like as soon

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: as mom's up, they're following her around.

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Very cool, very cute.

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, So the week that was in Malves, we

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: got in Thursday RB I went straight to a dentist

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: appointment because my teeth aren't straight anymore, even though I

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: have braces. So I just had an appointment to sus

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: out what the fuss was around in Visiline and just

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: look at options.

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: So did that because my dentist is in Malps. And then.

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: The next day had a full day of pods, So

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: from about eight am to two pm was at iHeartRadio

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: recording pods and we film as well when we've got

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: that beautiful studio space. So we had David the Medium

52
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: back on the pod and that was a bit of

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: a themes for twenty twenty four, so that'll come out

54
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: early jan And then we had bron Lewis, incredible comedian

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: on the pod, very very funny, got into stand up

56
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: at thirty one years old, like really really cool, shares

57
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: everything very very honestly. Shout out to Broun too, because

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: she had just said, done a dance for her kid

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: before she'd left the house and got scratched in the

60
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: eye and came in and really battled on through that

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: pod and just was such a trooper even though I

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: was watering and she was probably in a world of pain.

63
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: So if you ever hear this, bron, thank you so

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: so much. Then we had Bernie Curry, Australian actor off

65
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Wentworth of Pretty Little Liars of NCIS Neighbors, Home and Away.

66
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: He's that quintessential Aussie working actor, so I was just

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: so excited to pick his brains. Done a lot of

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: time in Los Angeles, done a lot of time here,

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: and he's also in a Christmas Carol, which you know

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: I interviewed Owen Teal for a couple of weeks ago,

71
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: which PS that is on until jan seventh, So that's

72
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: another good thing. If you're in Melps and you really

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: want to get into Crimbo's spirit, it has just extended

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: its run. So and after him, then we had Matt

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Preston on the pod. Matt Preston's episode is going to

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: come out Monday. I really wanted to expediate that for

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: him because he's got a brand new book out called

78
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Big Mouth, which is his memoir. He's very honest, very open,

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: very vulnerable. By the end of it, I was just

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: bawling my eyes out. And the way he writes is

81
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: like he sticks to his tone, and he really shared

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: so much of himself in the book but also on

83
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: the pod, Like we've known each other so much over

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: the years, from having the same publishers and whatnot and

85
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: kind of being at the same food festivals, and he

86
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: has always been so lovely and made so much time

87
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: for me, and this pod was no different. Such a sweetie,

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: such a good human. And then also I really wanted

89
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: my dad to read the book, so he signed especially

90
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: for NOL for Dad is really really cute. So yeah,

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: that'll come out on Monday. And the Monday episode that's

Speaker 2: that day and then we got up to talks. Friday night,

158
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: Matt's family arrived and Matt's mum had made this delicious

159
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: gluten free lasagna.

160
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: And then did we have dessert? I feel like we

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: had something.

162
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: For dessert that night, but like because we did full

163
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: blown Christmas even on the Saturday, Like Brecky was puna

00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: mince pies and so we had just literally were just

166
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: enjoying all the food that Melbourne provided and it was

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: really weird whether like it was really cold and windy

168
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: and kind of not gloomy, but it was very wintery,

169
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: especially in Talkie, and so it was perfect for like

170
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: having a roast and being inside and all that kind

171
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: of thing. Dad took me to one of his favorite

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: cafes I think it's called Little Things Big Things in

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: Talkie and we got an a eveadic porridge together that

174
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: was really nice. We also went to Ocean Grind for

175
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: a coffee that was delicious. We Ocean Grind is a

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: really great coffee spot in Talkie where there's always dog os.

177
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: I think there was like five or six dogs when

178
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: I was there. Loved it, lots of fun. So we

179
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: did the full trimmings, you know, like the pudding for

180
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: dessert we did We had the custard, the ice cream,

181
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: all that kind of thing, and then for dinner we

182
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: just kind of had leftovers and picked. I shouldn't have

183
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: had dinner though I was two full. You know, when

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: you to do that over.

185
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Christmas, I feel like I've got a practice Christmas.

186
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not going to relive it that way

187
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: on Christmas. I'm just gonna like enjoy Christmas lunch and

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: then if I'm hungry, just have some berries or something

189
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: really light for dinner because we were so full the

190
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: whole time.

191
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: And then Sunday, Dad and I went for big walks

192
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: both mornings.

193
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: We did one walk in jan Jark and Bell's Beach

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: and then we did the other walk. It's called south

195
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: Side Beach and it's just before Point at Us.

196
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: That was really really nice.

197
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: That was a bid for walk and because it was cold,

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: we kind of had the walks to ourselves. And it's

199
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: real like Cliffy and the soil and the dirt and

200
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: the rock formations almost orange in color, very different to

201
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Byron Bay, right, So that was really nice.

202
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Lots of nature walks.

203
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: And then we met Mum. Dad and Mum met like

204
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 2: dropped us halfway. We switched into Mum's car, went to

205
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: Dalsford and yeah, like Mum put on our full dinner

206
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: as well. Oh my goodness, we're still full. We're still full,

207
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: I tell you. And then we got to hang with

208
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: the sheet. We went for a hike on her property

209
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: and like there were we got to see cooker bars,

210
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: there were loads of kangaroos.

211
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: She's got her sheep. She's got a guinea fowl.

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: She's got her chicken, so like all animal overload. And

213
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: then the next day we went to that Dalsford Cider

214
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: to get this sider because Mum served it at dinner

215
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: and Matt was like, oh, We've got to take some

216
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: of this home for crimbo.

217
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: So we got a bottle for us and for.

218
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: The boys, and then we visited the what was it

219
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: called was a distillery We didn't get to We had

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: to fly out so we didn't have time to kind

221
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: of like I was like, oh, Matt, I'd love to

222
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: do a tasting here. It was a gin distillery. Hepburn Distillery,

223
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: it's called it was a gin distillery. They also had

224
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: a whiskey, which I was really excited about. So I'm

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: really coming into my whiskey phase right now. So yeah,

226
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: it was a really really nice hang. It was a

227
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: really really nice trip. It went really really really quick.

228
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: A hot tip if you're traveling this time in the year,

229
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: just be prepared for delays. Both flights were delayed. The

230
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: airport parking was overflowed, so we're in a different car

231
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: park area. Just give yourself extra time this time of year.

232
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: But also like, yeah, every flight we've been both flights

233
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: in and out were delayed, So just give yourself the

234
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: extra time, you know, chill out, have a snack and

235
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: then get on your flight, because there's.

236
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Nothing worse some being too stressed out. You know, we've

237
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: been sure that. Okay.

238
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: So the other thing I want to do for you

239
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: is a review of Wentworth because Boss and I are

240
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: really loving watching it. Initially we started watching it as

241
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: pod prep for Bernie Curry. Also another podcast, Zoe Tracas

242
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: has been on Wentworth as the character Reb. We haven't

243
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: got up to the EPs as Zoe is in yet,

244
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: so I'm so excited because I know how incredible Zoe

245
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: was as Reb. Anyway, so we're watching Wentworth. We're drinking

246
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: the kool aid. We are loving it. We're loving the

247
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: character arcs. The acting is incredible. It's like Oranges New

248
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: Back Black but Australia essentially. Cast is great, so much drama,

249
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: so many like baddies turned goodies, goodies turned baddies, Like

250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: the characters really get to go through these kind of

251
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: like self discovery and you know, come to terms of

252
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: what they've done and whatnot, especially Bernie Curry's character who

253
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: is plays Jake Stewart aka Jake the Snake, and there's

254
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: some like a few turning points now where he's like

255
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: really trying to you know, he's been a baddie for

256
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: so long and he's trying to become a goodie, which

257
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: has been so fun to watch.

258
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: So Wentworth is an amazing one. I obviously as of

259
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: next week.

260
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Want to start reviewing more Crimbo shows for you, but

261
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: when Boss and I are just loving it's our favorite

262
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: show at the moment. And the other thing I want

263
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: to review for you is, of course Matt Preston's book,

264
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: which is on sale now. It's called Big Mouth. You

265
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: can get it everywhere you buy books if you want

266
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: signed copies. I saw this signed copies on book Topia

267
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: and it's really incredible. Like he's very vulnerable. There's still

268
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: a bit of like food stuff throughout it, like like

269
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: his childhood. He throws to foodie things and memories and whatnot.

270
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: And there is a section of the book that's like

271
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: what a cake says about you. Fun fact I picked

272
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: the Lumberjack cake is my favorite, and that's what all

273
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: the trade' is like. And I was like, Matt, you're

274
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: not going to guess what cake I picked He's like,

275
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: I feel like you'd pick carrot cake because it's considered

276
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: like a slightly hell the cake. And I was like, no, lumberjack,

277
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: and he's like same family. I was like, Yeah, I

278
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: love a lumberjack or a hummingbird cake, which means it's

279
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: kind of got a bit of pineapple in there some

280
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: depending on if he can lumberjack or hummingbirds, he's got

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: pineapple or banana in there and walnuts. It is a

282
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: shadow of a carrot cake, I will say. But yet

283
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: he talks about like he was adopted. He talks about

284
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: he goes through a lot of grief with his Not

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: to give too much of his story and book away,

286
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: but he goes through a lot of loss and grief

287
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: and he shares that throughout the book. He talks all

288
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: about the mastershef for eleven years with Mastershare, fourteen seasons,

289
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: and the highs and lows of that, and the whirlwind

290
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: experience that that was and what that brought to him.

291
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: You know, before that he was living in Australia and

292
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: reviewing neighbors in home Away and sending it back for

293
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: work in America.

294
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: It's not in America in the UK, and so he would.

295
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: Review the soaps and kind of like because of Trail,

296
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: you got them released ahead of a British audience and

297
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: he'd send them back in. So he initially started doing

298
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: that and then cut to like many years later he

299
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: got to have a cameo on Neighbors as Matt Preston,

300
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: which his mum was like blown away by, and he

301
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: tells this really funny story when he was up for

302
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: a LOGI one year, his mom didn't vote for him.

303
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: She voted for the new best Newcomer on Home and Away.

304
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: Very funny.

305
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: So beautiful book, like I said, available everywhere, beautiful front carbar.

306
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: He's got these big blue eyes and he's just looking

307
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: straight down the lens. So highly recommend it. Really lovely

308
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: read and just a really good press. The idea if

309
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: you're thinking about, oh what do I get? What do

310
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: I get my dog? Like I said, I got him

311
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: to sign it for dad, and I gave Dad a

312
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: little I wanted him to have something when we did

313
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: our early Crimbo, even though will do proper Crimbo with

314
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: him up here. So I said, this is a Prezzy

315
00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: from Matt, from Matt Preston. He was pretty wrapped with it.

316
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to see what else we did. Oh,

317
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: when we were in DALs we went to this place

318
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: called the Wombat Hill Cafe, so I think it's linked

319
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: to the lake House, but it's a cafe version. I

320
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: had a delicious gluten free pizza they called the breakfast Pizza,

321
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: so it's got like eggs on top, it's got like

322
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: caramelized onions and Napolitana sauce.

323
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Very very good.

324
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: Boss got a little savory Danish thing and Mum got

325
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: tag itally pesto which looked amazing. And we had a

326
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: really nice at scot its own Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens.

327
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: We had to walk around the botanic gardens. Then we

328
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: filled up our water at the is it the Hepburn Springs,

329
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: the fresh water springs, so it was really nice.

330
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: We had so much fun.

331
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: And then obviously hanging with the sheep was a real

332
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: highlight for me, Louis and Stevie Mum's suffolk sheep.

333
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: So that was unreal.

334
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm just going through my notes because I made all

335
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: these notes for all the yummy foodie things that we had. Also,

336
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: when we're in Dalsford, we tried a local fruit mince

337
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: pie just from the local bakery. It was like a

338
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: rum and brandy one, so it kind of had that

339
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: like after kick of booze, which was quite nice. And

340
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: we're on the Christmas special. I'm going to rotate favorite

341
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: Mince's few. I've got a whole album saved in my phone,

342
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: but I think wherever you are, just got to a

343
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: local bakery and see if they've got a freshy, you know,

344
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: and just get in there and give it a crack,

345
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: give it a try. What else have I got here

346
