10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: in the last week, the week that was. I've got

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: some food reviews. I've got some TV show reviews. I

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: haven't got a book review for you this week because

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm still reading Love Stories by Trent Dalton, but I'm

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: loving it, so I'm hoping I can review that for

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: you next week. I've also been sent a book from

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Australia by one of the people that I book mentor,

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping I can review that for you. So yeah,

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: so many books to read and review. But we have

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: a great show, oh my goodness, and I finished it

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: last night. Like I was going to record this pod

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: dary yesterday, I was like, no, I can finish the

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: show and give you a full review on it. So

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: so much to update you want. Okay, there's been a

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: new hike since oh do you want work updates? So

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: on the workfront, let's start with that. It's been tough.

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. A lot of rejection, a lot

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: of no replies, a lot of empty emails. It's just

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: been tough. It's been one of those weeks where I'm

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: just like, oh my goodness, like, how am I going

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: to survive here? I've been going for yoga teaching jobs

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: as well. I just found out yesterday one I did

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: an audition for I didn't get. So it makes me

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: realize because I've done over seven hundred hours of yoga

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: teacher training. I love teaching. I'd like to think that

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay at it, like enjoyed. I create music playlists

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and whatnot. It makes me think that maybe everything in

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is competitive, not just acting. Like acting, you

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: expect to get a lot of rejection. But I thought, oh,

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: yoga would be a great thing to do just to

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: make a little bit of US dollars. But even that,

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, because I went into the interview.

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: We had a great chat, gave him a book, you know,

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: like I was really excited and they were like, yep,

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: so we're interviewing other people, be in touch. And then

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: yes last night they were like, thank you so much,

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: we won't be moving forward with your application. So, I

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: mean there's a load of rejection out there, not just

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: on the acting front, and I guess I didn't expect that.

49
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: So I'm on the hunt for a job, thinking the

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: yoga teaching route might be a great route to go down.

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm sort of doing all my online consults as well,

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: which is really fun and really rewarding. I'm working with

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: some really great writers at the moment, and we're working

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: on some of their book ideas and bringing them to life.

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: And I can't believe that one of the people I've

56
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: mentored has now brought a book out and it's out

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: there in the flesh. It's so cool. I was like,

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: I got sent it and it arrived in the mail

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and I was like, oh, I feel like like

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm an auntie to this book or something. Anyway, I

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: digress ps not to plug myself, but if you do

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: want any book podcasting or nutrition, health mentoring, I do

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: just do it all on zoom obviously because I live

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: in La. So yeah, just email info at lulabury dot

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: com if you want to find out more. I've figured

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: i'd better say that because I've got some epic clients

67
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, I love doing it, okay, So yeah, there's

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: been loads and loads of rejection. I have done a

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: few callbacks. I did a callback yesterday for a police

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: officer for a TV show, so that'd be like featured background.

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there'd be much die. I have got

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: a call back this morning for a voiceover all in

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: American dialect, which i'll record straight after this. I've got

74
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: a callback for like a doctor playing a doctor that's

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: concerned about someone with diabetes, So I'm doing that. Matt's

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: going to be my read au, soho'ld record that as

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: soon as he wakes up. So a reader means you

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: get somebody else to read the other person's lines. I

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to want that in America,

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: and I'm going to presume. So I'm going to presume

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: so because they usually specify if they want it in

82
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: your natural native accent. Interesting thing over here they definitely

83
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: want they will tell you if they want Australian or

84
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: British or they call it up and then if not,

85
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: you just go Americana. And you've got to have a

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: great Americana. So I've just booked it with my dialect

87
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: coach to just keep working on my US accion. Okay,

88
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: did a great new home that I haven't done before.

89
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: It's in Laurel Canyon, Studio City, so that's kind of

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: the I think that's near the valley, like the hills,

91
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: and it's called Fryman. It's so beautiful because I could

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: see all the snowy mountains and I felt like I

93
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: was on the set of Yellowstones, so so pretty. I

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: also have had some delicious food at air One that

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: after I had that really rough day of all the rejection,

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: I was like, fu God, I'm going to air One.

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: It's just so expensive though, so you get the guilts

98
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: as soon as you walk out of there. I obviously

99
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: got my favorite vegan Mexican salad. I just love the

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: way they make the walnuts taste like so crunchy and

101
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Mexicana spicy, and there's not even avocado in it, but

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: it's just so it's got black beans and it's my

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: go to. And then I tried this. It's I kept

104
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: the label for you when I put it. It was

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: this cinnamon roll but it was raw, vegan, gluten free

106
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: air One brand, so made in house at air One.

107
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: So if I'm stepping away from the mic, I'm trying

108
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: to find the I stuck the ingredient list down because

109
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is interesting. I've never had

110
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: this before. No, that's the other thing. I tried one,

111
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: which I'll tell you about in a sec. But yeah,

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: it was like it was maybe sillium husk. It was vegan,

113
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: gluten free, no baddies, no refined sugar, really cinnamony, Like

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I love cinnamon, even for me. I was like, whoa,

115
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: that's really cinnamony. Anyway, I can't find the ingredient list.

116
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: Another thing I tried that I really want to try

117
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: because it's all ever I posts on TikTok about air One.

118
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: They're called cauliflower, Oh, buffalo cauliflower. They're vegan and gluten free,

119
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: so they've got like a little bit of rice flour

120
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: on the outside. But all these like Mexican buffalo y

121
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: kind of like I want to say, like Texans spices,

122
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: so it's got what does it got here, oregano, hot sauce,

123
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: cane pepper. There's vinegar you can tie tastes that garlic,

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: non gmo rice bran oil is what it's cooked him anyway,

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: really really yummy. It's called the Buffalo Cauliflower and it's

126
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: a vibe again vegan gluten free happy days. What else

127
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: have I tried? Yeah, so I've called it the healthy

128
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Cinnamon scroll here, but totally raw vegan. I have also

129
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: had my favorite treat in the entire entire world, which

130
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: is the air one pumpkin pie deep dish. It's better

131
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: than the raw vegan one. It's just like the o

132
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: G organic deep dish pumpkin pie. It's ten out of ten,

133
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: cannot fault it so good, and I like to heat

134
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: it up for thirty seconds. And then I found this

135
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: oat milk dairy free ice cream. Actually found that at

136
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's and it was called Oaki Dokie. So i'd

137
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: like a bit of a caramel you swell through it.

138
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: It was okay. The pumpkin pie is the best thing ever.

139
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: My friends also knew that I was having a rough

140
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: week here with all the reject and no job offered,

141
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: it offers, and just kind of like it's stressful. Like

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you're living on Australian savings and although you can google

143
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: the Australian dollar sixty seven cents, by the time you

144
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: do the conversion through your bank, it's down to about

145
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: sixty four and then you get charged transaction fees and

146
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: all that kind of thing, and so yeah, I just

147
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: get really stressed when I'm like losing a huge amount

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: just to even pay rent and car lease and stuff

149
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, so my friends really want to chim

150
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: me up, and they took me up this beautiful lunch

151
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills and it is called have I not

152
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: written it down here? It's called I think it's called

153
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Avra av Ra. It's beautiful. It's Greek. Lots of seafood.

154
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: We got this delicious fish, we got Greek salad. We've

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: got these incredible which is I think what they're famous for,

156
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: these like zacchini chips that you dip in tanziki. Oh

157
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: my goodness. I also had their house martini, so it's

158
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: maybe the Greek vodka. And you know how in dirty

159
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Martini they put olives on their little skewer thing that

160
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: sits in there. This had olives and caperberries, and when

161
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you finish the martini, eat the olive and caperberry. Ten

162
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: out ten, So young, it's the best martini I've had here.

163
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Martini is like my adult drink. Always think of it's

164
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: good enough for Jane Vonder, good enough for me. She

165
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: looks phenomenal. But I haven't had the best. I haven't

166
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: had epic martinis in LA and this one was like awesome.

167
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: I usually get Martini's on made on gin and dry,

168
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: like with a twist of lemon, but this like dirty

169
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: with olive olive. Brian was really nice. I had too

170
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: martinis at this beautiful lunch and it was so yummy,

171
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: fish and salad and hormics and yeah, it was so good.

172
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: Ten out of ten. What else? Oh? And I also

173
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: met up with a friend in Beverly Hills and day

174
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: just meant that Sephora, but we also went to this

175
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: other place. I actually just got a green tea because

176
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: I was really upset that I've had a real week

177
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: of just like sitting in the shit basically, but that

178
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: was called ill for Neao and I just got a

179
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: green tea. Oh, I've got some health reviews for you. I,

180
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, I love that plant Viber drink, so it's

181
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: got the I like the ollipop one. It's got two

182
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: grams of sugar, thirty five calories and it's just maybe

183
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: like plant viber and it's really good. Sometimes it bloats me.

184
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: But for like the macros, I know, I think it's

185
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: like a good thing to say, shiate sweet. But I

186
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: tried the root beer, which everyone says is the flavor,

187
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: the best flavor. I still think the classic Cola is

188
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: my favorite. But it was really really good and I

189
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: found these, can you hear? I saved the packet, so

190
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I've never seen this brand here before. You know, for me,

191
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: I always look for the really low sugar stuff and

192
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I often will try and find like obviously definitely gluten free,

193
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: bit dry free as well, But this I don't. I

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's dairy free, is it? Yeah? Not dairy free.

195
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: That's probably why my tummy feels a little bit funny today.

196
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Let me have a squeeze, okay. Anyway, the brand is

197
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: called Gatsby, and the branding looks very Gatsby esque, like

198
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: the y is actually a Martini glass. But anyway, I

199
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: tried their peanut buttercups, So it just comes in a

200
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: little pack of two, which is great because you're not

201
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: getting the whole bag. Two grams of sugar per cup

202
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: and fifty calories and it's swinged with that plant fiber

203
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: called alulose massive here also big in Australia. I've talked

204
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: to you about it with the smart snacks here that

205
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: you guys have got in Australia as well. But I

206
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: also found when I was at Albertson's yesterday, which is

207
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: like a Coals or Woolies, a block of this Gatsby

208
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: brand and I got the white chocolate style because I'm

209
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: a white chocolate gal cookies and cream. It literally tasted

210
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: like Hershey's cookies and cream but perserve seventy calories and

211
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: three grams of sugar. Perserve. Again, first ingredient is that

212
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: al Ulo's stuff, So highly if you're ever in LA,

213
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: look for the brand Gatsby because it's a much cleaner

214
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: alternative and it really stay shapes your sweet tooth. And

215
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, I would recommend, I mean, obviously, if you

216
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: want to go all that, go and get a Reese's

217
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: peanut butter cup because they're peanut butter cups. The Gatsby

218
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: ones and the Lilies ones, which are the two sugar

219
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: free versions, are not as good as either Reese's or

220
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: there's another brand called Justin's, which I've talked to you

221
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: about before, and they do these incredible white chocolate peanut

222
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: butter cups. Nothing comes close to those guys in their

223
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: health realm. But they've got like fifteen twenty grams of

224
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: sugar per little cup, whereas these guys are sitting at

225
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: two grams. So for me, sugar is something I try

226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: to keep really low. I like to keep like low inflammation. Also,

227
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure I've told you, but after

228
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: IVF I got PCs and put a truckload of weight on,

229
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: I've been really working hard to feel healthy again and

230
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: to just like look after my board and all that,

231
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: and so I'm really kind of like just aware of

232
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: the sugar that's coming in, and mainly sugar. To be

233
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: honest with you, I like to I still have a

234
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: sweet tooth, but I like to find these healthier alternatives,

235
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, let's talk about a TV show that

236
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: I have watched in the last week and just finished

237
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: last night. It is called The Last of Us. It's

238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: got Pedro Pascal in it, who everyone is losing their

239
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: marbles for on TikTok at the moment, and Bala Ramsey,

240
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: who you would recognize from Game of Thrones. The show

241
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: itself is based on a video game. The show I'm

242
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: not into zombie apocalyptic shows. Matt is obsessed with these

243
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: styles of shows. I am not, but can I say

244
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: watching their relationship as they go through this journey unfold

245
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: is unreal. So I was there hook Line and Sinker.

246
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: It was really good. I mean every episode you just

247
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: got more and more involved. There are a few episodes

248
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: where there was departures from the storyline and apparently departures

249
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: from the game because the cool thing about watching the show.

250
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: So this show was on HBO Max in America, so

251
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's on in Australia, but look

252
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: out for it's called The Last of Us. It's really

253
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: really great. But at the end of every episode there

254
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: is a little ten minute behind the scenes of that

255
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: episode and they talk about where they shot it. One

256
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: episode was set in Wyoming and they you know, you

257
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: get to sell the wind machines and all the snow

258
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: and it's really cool for a behind the scenes nerd

259
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: like me, And in fact, there's a special behind the

260
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: scenes special that I'll watch when I have lunch today.

261
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: It looks really really good, So I guess what I'm

262
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: trying to say is I loved it, really really loved it.

263
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: And if you're on TikTok, there is this whole Pedro

264
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: escal like Zaddy hashtag because he's so gorgeous and handsome

265
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: but he is great and his career like. So, he

266
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: was on a Game of Thrones, the Mandalorian, which I

267
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: really want to watch next, but I am do you

268
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: know the next time I'm going to watch next for

269
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: you well and for me succession, So I don't know

270
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: if Australia gets the same release dates, but it came

271
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: out on Sunday night here, so I'll start watching that

272
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: tonight and report back for you. That'll be our next

273
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: diary entry. And the other thing is I'm moving west

274
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: on the weekend. So you know, I've been living in

275
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: this beautiful Los Phelis apartment. My lovely landlord Lily wanted

276
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: to has family coming over, so I had to get out.

277
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm going west for a little while, and

278
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to exploring the west. Most of

279
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: my friends, well I have three friends, but they all

280
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: live west, and so it means I'll get to see

281
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: them more. And because I'm struggling a fair bit with

282
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: the rejection side of things, just being honest with you,

283
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: it'll be really good to just have a mate to

284
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: call call up my friend and be like, can I

285
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: chill with your dog? Or can we go for a

286
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: walk or you know. And also it's near the ocean,

287
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: so that means more beach walks, less Griffith Park hike,

288
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to sneak as many hikes in as

289
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I can. It is pelting down outside today, it's raining

290
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: cats and dogs, so no hiking today, but hopefully a

291
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: little bit more hiking before I head west. So your

292
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: next diary will be coming to you from West side

293
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: of LA. So exciting. Also nervous, I always get. I'm

294
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: a person that likes control and planning and routine, and

295
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: so I always get a little bit anxious when I'm

296
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: moving to a new area for routine and where do

297
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I get my coffee, where do I go for my walk,

298
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: where do I do yoga? And all these things that

299
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: make me feel quite grounded. And nurtured and safe. You

300
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of got to build all that up again, which

301
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: only really takes about two weeks, but it always is

302
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: a bit unsettling at the start. So that's where I'm

303
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: at with that. I had the best coffee. And so

304
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: if you're ever in East side of La So when

305
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: I say east, I mean Silver, Late Glendale, Lost Fearless,

306
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Los Felis is where I am. Even Hollywood. The best coffee,

307
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: hands down, is at a place called Maru. Maru Coffee

308
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: is in Los Feelers on Hillhurst, and it is so good.

309
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: I went there the other day. It was pelting down

310
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: with rain. I'd done hot yoga. I got a hot

311
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: almond latte with one Stevia and it was ten out

312
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: of ten, so good, so delicious, so nice. I usually

313
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: drink black coffee, so I don't add anything to it

314
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: when I'm at home, so when I go out, it's

315
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: usually my treat is to have an almond latte out

316
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: and it is so effing yum. Loved it, loved, loved

317
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: loved it. Oh. I've also joined a yoga studio, so

318
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: I did the intro offer at Moto Yoga. I went

319
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: to their Venice studio and then I was practicing at

320
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the Echo Park studio. That's another East suburb and it

321
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: was about fifteen twenty minutes from me, but that pass

322
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: ran out after two weeks. So I've joined y seven again,

323
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: which is where I was practicing yoga all last year here,

324
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: and that's really cool. So that's much closer to me.

325
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: It's just down on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake, so

326
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: I can get there in like ten minutes. Also heated yoga,

327
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: but to hip hop music, it's a blacked out room.

328
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: It's candlelit. They're there. The way they teach you is

329
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: quite different too. It's three sequences that get progressively harder

330
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: and harder and harder. I'm actually about to head there

331
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: now and do a morning practice. So I'm finding that

332
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: yoga is just helping me keep a hold of my

333
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: mental health while I'm and obviously therapy. I see my

334
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: therapist all the time. Literally at the moment, I'm like

335
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: every time I book in, I'm like, let' three book,

336
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: let's three book. So yeah, yoga's has been a really

337
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: cool way to stay grounded and connected, and I always

338
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: try to go there about ten minutes early and just

339
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: meditate in the space because it just keeps me calm,

340
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: and I do that every time I go in. I

341
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: get a block, I put the block under my spine,

342
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: and then another block under my head and I just

343
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: meditate and then I practice, which I know is the

344
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: backwards way of doing meditation. Most people say, do yoga

345
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: and then sit and meditate. That's literally one of the

346
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: reasons why yoga even exists. But for me, often by

347
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: the end of the class, I'm already thinking about the

348
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: next thing i want to do in my day, and

349
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: so it's been really helpful for me to just be like,

350
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: get there early, go meditate ground, you know, and then

351
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: get on with my day after the class. Anyway, it's

352
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: my two cents, and I will by the time I

353
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: speak to you next week, I hopefully we'll have tried

354
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: a new yoga's Gudo west Side. So I've never discovered

355
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: much of West Side other than when I've hung out

356
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: with Mo or Alex. As I mentioned, I have friends here,

357
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: and so that's all I've done is when I've seen

358
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: those two. So you know, I'm really excited to explore

359
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more of West and soak it up

360
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: and just enjoy it and just yeah, that's my that's

361
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: my goal, that's my plans. All right, gang hooru. As

362
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: always a very honest check in, and I hope we

363
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: have a few wins so that we can celebrate together,

364
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: But at the moment, no wins, zero zilch nah dah.

365
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: We're going to keep going though. The fight is real.

366
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: I've got the gumption, I've got the tenacity, So let's

367
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: just keep friggin at this unattainable dream, all right, big love, goodbye,
