Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Diary app

00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the week that was. It is beautiful here. It is summer.

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: It is feeling like the la that you know you

00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: see on tally and stuff you will have heard me

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: talk about, like gray May and June gloom. Those things

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: definitely happen. And then people were like, oh, it's leaking

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: into July. So now it feels really summary like it's

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: hot every day. It fully feels like in the hundreds,

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: which is I think nick close to forty. So it's

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: I love summer. I've got a lot of tax stuff

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: to do today and then I will be reading by

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: the pool. I've got a new book. I'm about to

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: start today, so I'm going to tell you about it.

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: I've got some food reviews for you. I've got an

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: update of the week that was, so let's dive in.

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Oh and i have a pretty big TikToker influencer comedian

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: that I'm injuring on Friday. It's been quite hard to

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: lock this guest down, so if they don't, if they don't,

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: if they cancel, which could happen, but I feel like

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: they We've just locked it all in for Friday, which

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: means that'll be a Monday episode. So if for some

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: reason that cancels, what I'll do is what I did

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: with the leaseal app and do a brand new intro

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: for you and pick one of my favorite apps. I've

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: got a few in the can that I'm really excited

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: to re release for you. Thank you to those who

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,400

Speaker 1: It Wild? And that you know what else? In like

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: a month, maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more.

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Four years, this POD's been going along, ticking away, tick

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: and away. I'm really excited though, because, like I know,

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I said to you, like it's been hard to get

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: American guests. I've got five lined up now, so hopefully,

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: provided all the stars aligned, I'm going to be able

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: to record with them. We also have a really exciting

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: new product launching with Lola Coffee. It officially launched yesterday

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you all about it here

46
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: as well. But let's have an update of the week.

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: So I'm in Brentwood now. I was in Santa Monica

48
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: for a while this time in only I've definitely moved

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: around a lot more than in the past. I've always

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: been in that beautiful old Hollywood lost feelers home, not anymore.

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm very much being a little bit more of a

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: nomad this time because Bossacheno will be with me next

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: year because he just got his visa, So we're kind

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: of like holding off signing a lease and all of

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: that until the Boss is with me, you know. So

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Brentwood is beautiful. It is amazing. Found my yoga groove here,

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: found great coffee, and I've told you about Alfred Coffee before.

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: You know. It's all it's I feel like Brentwood is

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: an Ala because it is so beautiful. It's like Pleasantville,

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Like every house is stunning with a beautiful front yard,

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: and it feels very safe, like it would feel safe

62
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: to walk at nighttime. You just feel very much like

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: you're in this cocoon. Whereas, like in other areas of Valet,

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: like even Santa Monica, lost feelers like you're a little

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: bit more aware that at nighttime the safety element is

66
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: not as strong as it was, so to speak, so

67
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: not strong as it was, but you know what I mean.

68
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm waffling, but you know what I mean. Whereas Brentwood,

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: you feel very secure, you feel very at home. We

70
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: also have two dogs living with us, So I'm living

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: with my friend Alex beautiful, lovely brent Wood Dream. We're

72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: living here. There's two dogs. We've got Frank, who is

73
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: a they're both rescues, who's he's like a shepherd cross.

74
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: And then we've got Squid, who is this tiny little

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: mixer thing. I think she's like Park Griffin part chuahwa

76
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: put Pug, but she's got that wiry kind of hair

77
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: like a terrier. Anyway, she's so funny, she's very cute,

78
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: and she's kind of growing into all her features now.

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: So we're having a lot of fun with Squids. So

80
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: her name is Squid, and I gave her a shower

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: last night. She was not about me at all. She

82
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 1: was like, you, you're not getting loved for a little while.

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: But she's been good today, so she's been back to

84
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: giving me love today and she smells like springs, so

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: you know what, it was worth it. So the pups

86
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of fun. That's why I'm recording this

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: pod quietly in the morning now while the pups are

88
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: nice and quiet, because when they're awake, you know about it,

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: You absolutely know about it. What else is going on? Work?

90
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: I start teaching yin yoga next week. I'm pretty sure

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm sort of doing front desk, which is nice actually

92
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: like this, it's nice to be around a yogi community

93
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: and like I've got my little favorite clients that you

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: kind of become mates with. And obviously, like for so

95
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: many years I've worked for myself, Like even with the

96
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: smoothie bar happy place that I had in Mouths, I

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: never worked the smoothie Bar. I was more there, like

98
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: to help the stuff with whatever they needed, and I

99
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: do book launches and stuff there and book signings, but

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I never actually worked front, like made people smoothies essentially,

101
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: unless there was like this is gonna sound really wanky.

102
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: If we were filming it for a TV show or something,

103
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I'd get in there. But like I didn't even know

104
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: where half not where half the stuff was. But this

105
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: is like working front desk. You're the port of call

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: if anything goes wrong, kind of like it. I'm really

107
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: liking just like having a chilled environment to work in.

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: So that's cool, that's all going nicely. And obviously, like

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: it gives me free yoga membership, which in America, yoga

110
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: memberships are like upwards of like two hundred, two hundred

111
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: fifty dollars a month American, so Ossie, that's like three

112
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: p fifty four hundred. So it saves a lot of

113
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: money by if you're using the membership. So I'm really

114
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: being disciplined with using my membership and I try to

115
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: get to a class, like I'm trying to do five

116
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: times a week if I can. Yeah, I'm I'm in

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: the grind. I'm in the health grind. I'm in the grind.

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: I know, last week I told you about some of

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: my beautiful food escapades. Oh, I keep knocking my headphone

120
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: card and it cuts out the sound. But anyway, it

121
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: looks like it's fine for you, So this week, I've

122
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: been very much on with the health and wellness stuff.

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: That said, still tried some cool things. You know how

124
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: I love ollipop. This is my food review section. You

125
00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: know how I love ollipop. Well. I was at Whole

126
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Foods in on Montana in Santa Monica because I did

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: a pilates class at this place called Mighty Pilarates, and

128
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I better get some sour kraut.

129
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: And I looked and they had my favorite Coca Cola

130
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: flavored ollipop, so basically they sweeten with plant inulin instead

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: of sugar. Right, And I saw this other brand, Poppy,

132
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: which it was same ballgame people either team Ollipop or

133
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: team Poppy. And I've always preferred Ollipop, but I saw

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: there was a new flavor and I was like, oh,

135
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I might regret this when when he was right, and

136
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: so they called it doc pop as in doctor Pepper flavor.

137
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Holy Mackett was great. I definitely will be getting that

138
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: one again. So that means doctor Pepper flavor in Poppy

139
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and then the ollipop Classic Cola. They're the true best

140
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: I have reviewed. I have everything, and like I said,

141
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: I've been trying to stay healthy, but I still was

142
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: after pilates, I was like, oh, craving something sweet, so

143
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: I found this brand. The brand is called Raw Raw

144
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: Macaroon and their flavor, this is what got me across

145
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: the line was blondie. Love Me a Blondie. I don't

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: know if it's a very American thing, but basically blondies

147
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: are like a blonde brownie. Essentially. This didn't taste like

148
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: a blondie at all. It just tastes like a coconut

149
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: biscuit thing. But it was really nice and it was clean.

150
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: So it's dairy free, gluten free, non GMO, one hundred

151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: percent raw Paleo soy free, USDA organic and certified vegan. Oh.

152
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: It's from Sacramento, Sacramento sunflowel Beaking two four six four

153
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: mccorney ab, Sacramento keep refrigerated, so I bought it from

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the fridge section. The reason why I got it is

155
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: it only had two grams of sugar. So made with

156
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: dried unsweetened coconut flakes, coconut nectar, almond, extra virgin olive oil,

157
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: cacal bean nibs, gojiberry vanilla extract, maca powder, mesquite powder,

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: se saal. It was really good. Would I get again

159
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: for four bucks and nope, but it stopped me eating

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: because there was a really good cupcake place next door

161
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: called aer Mcinness or baby Cakes, and I was like,

162
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather get something clean that my body isn't going

163
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: to get like a blood sugar insulin spike from. So

164
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: that hit the spot for that for what I was after.

165
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: While I was there, I got a couple of protein

166
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: bars because they have the really clean protein bars. So

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: there is a brand called Aloha. I've told you about

168
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: them before. This is a limited edition flavor. It's got

169
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: fourteen grams of protein, plant based protein chocolate caramel pecan.

170
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Nothing about this tasted carameli I must say, or even peacanny.

171
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: But I had a chocolate out of Layer which is

172
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: really nice. Organic, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, plant based,

173
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: USDA organic, non GMO, and B Group certified. So this

174
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: has got a little higher on the col so two thirtykels,

175
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: which doesn't really bother me. It has got five grams

176
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: of sugar, so like a tea spiner sugar in the

177
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: whole thing. But the ingredients are very clean. I'll read

178
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: it to protein blend, brown rice, protein pumpkin seed protein

179
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: and tapioca fire fiber, sunflower seed butter, dark chocolate, and

180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: that actually has a bit of cane sugar in it,

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: but quite a small amount. And then it's got vegetable glycerine.

182
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: I think they sweetened with that over here topiaca syrup

183
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: topiaka am I saying that right? I feel like it's

184
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: my brain feels like it's fighting and it's coming out wrong. Pecans,

185
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: brown rice, crisp, caramel. It just says organic natural flavor,

186
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: organic sea salt, sunflower lecthin so pretty clean. Would I

187
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: get it again? Absolutely not. It didn't taste like what

188
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: it said it would on the packet. But that brand

189
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: is like a really good, clean, plant based protein bar.

190
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: If you're ever in LA, you can get it at

191
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: air one and Whole Foods. I haven't seen it many

192
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: other places, but yeah, it's really really good. It's really

193
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: really nice. I had a big audition this week for voiceover.

194
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: It was so I had to do four scripts on

195
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: my natural Australian accent and then four scripts on standard

196
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: American accent. So what I did was I recorded all

197
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: the Australian stuff one afternoon and I kind of leant

198
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: into Aussie a bit like ah chicken nugget Crispy Chicken

199
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: Nuggets at McDonald's three ninety nine. Like that. I had

200
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: fun with like my Australian in this, and then the

201
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: next day I did all my American accent drilling. I

202
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: work with my dialect coach, and then I put the

203
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: American accent ones down because it's very different, it feels different,

204
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder. Obviously it's harder for us.

205
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: I think I want to really spend some time on

206
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Southern soon, because everyone says it's easier for an Australian

207
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: to do in a Southern accent. All I can say

208
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: in a Southern accent apple par oh apple par. I

209
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: don't even know what else to say. And then my

210
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: trigger words for the American accent are literally immediately no,

211
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: literally immediately know. That's like my trigger for an American accent.

212
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: So funny, even though that's come from couple karaoke with

213
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber and James Corden and Justin Bieber is Canadian,

214
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: but like Americans say, immediately no, so funny, righty, Yes,

215
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I did that audition. Also, my friend Juge took me

216
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: to a voiceover workshop which was really fun at Soho House,

217
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: so I haven't been to so her house this year.

218
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: There's a few now, there's one in Malibu, there's one

219
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: downtown LA, and then there's the West Hollywood one. This

220
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: was at the West Hollywood one and it was two hour, Yeah,

221
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: two hour evamp just kind of like the business side

222
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: of voice acting, which is really handy, and the teacher

223
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: was amazing. I booked her for the podcast, so we're

224
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: going to have her on the pod soon. And I've

225
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: booked another incredible voice actor. In fact, it is Joe,

226
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: the friend that took me to the voice workshop, and

Speaker 1: podcast for you. So it's just going to be at

242
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: the moment. I'm planning on it being a one off

243
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: episode where I'm going to do it with a friend

244
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: of mine who is really into books. It was Alex,

245
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: who I'm living with, but she invited me to book

246
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: club as soon as I got to LA and I've

247
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: been in her book club and it is so much fun.

248
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: But we always read books together and she'll read something

249
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: and be like, I read this, and so we've gone

250
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: through all these books together and we're going to do

251
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: a best of for you and review all of these

252
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: books together. So I am reading this book that she

253
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: bought her husband called The Devil in the White City Murder,

254
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by

255
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: Eric Larsen. So I think he wrote a famous book

256
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: called Isaac Storm. I'm really excited. I'm going to start

257
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: reading this by the pool today. But this author sounds amazing.

258
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: The front cover is what got me. It looks amazing,

259
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: but I think it's about the Boston Strangler, which was

260
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: a bit so it'll be a bit true crime. Just

261
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: because she's reading a book at the moment called The Maid,

262
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: so she'll review a book. I'm going to review this book.

263
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: We've got about five books to review together. We're gonna

264
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: do Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. We're going to do Soulmates.

265
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: I think that's by Sally Hepworth. We are going to do.

266
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to do Malibi Rising on

267
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Daisy Jones, by the same author as Seven Husbands of

268
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Evelyn Hugo, just because we love Seven Husbands of Evelyn

269
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Hugo so much. I think we might do Love Stories

270
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: by Trent Dalton. We're just finessing it now, but we're

271
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna do a whole book club special on the pod

272
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: just for something different, and also it's good when you

273
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: get to hear people's reviews and stuff. I review books

274
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: for you all the time. But Alex is super, super

275
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: smart and has a wonderful brain, so would be really

276
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: fun to do that. And then yeah, I've got five

277
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: American guest books. So hopefully the pod will be back

278
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: to having loads of American guests. I've already started booking

279
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: some Australian guests for I'm heading back for Wonder Last.

280
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I know, I told you that last week. So I've

281
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: got some Australian gest lined up for that, which will

282
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: be nice. Right, Oh, what else do you don't have

283
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: to tell you? Oh? What we launched? Okay, so on

284
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: Lola coffee. As you know, so we've got Lola Hot

285
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Chocolate Hintland Hot Chocolate, which is a sugar free adapt

286
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: to Jenny Hot Chocolate. Love it, love having it before bed,

287
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: having it in the arbow. Now, the Lola coffee is

288
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: so expensive to make and to actually it's really expensive

289
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,239
Speaker 1: to freeze dry, so to make it instant, that process

290
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: is wildly expensive, and so we make no money off

291
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: the coffee. So we haven't been able to keep up

292
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: with the coffee because we're just not making up money.

293
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: That's just me being completely transparent with you. So we

294
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: were literally at a point of being like, oh do

295
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: we sell the hot chocky and potentially shut the company.

296
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: We were literally having this conversation. Then we get this

297
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: call from the beautiful Tanya Hennessy. She's like, hey, I'm

298
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: writing a kid's book, I really want to bring out

299
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: a collab with you. I'd love to do a pink

300
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: chocolate and we were like, okay, cool, let's have a

301
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: zoom thought nothing of it, and Tania's like, so I'm

302
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: bringing out this book called Pink sand I told us

303
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: the whole story of the book. It's so cute, it's

304
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,119

344
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,639

345
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: it for like five months. When do I get here

346

347
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: so August to be hot, September will be hot, and

348
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: then I think it cools again in October so that

349
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: it's a shorter summer. I feel like that said it

350
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: would have felt cooler for me living in Santa Monica.

351
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: So if you ever visit LA, because Santa Monica has

352
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: sea breeze, it stays cooler, like literally ten degrees cooler

353
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: than if you're in Los Phelas, Silver Lake, anywhere in

354
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: the valley or Hollywood, anything like that. And then Brent

355
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: Water's kind of like a medium, like you get that

356
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: coolness because it's close enough to the ocean, you get

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: this quite clear air and then it be will still

358
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: warm up in the afternoon kind of thing. Anyway, I'm
