Speaker 3: you know for UTIs you're definitely gonna get this is
Speaker 3: and a tongue scraper.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, really back on a tongue scraper. So I'm
Speaker 6: on this little like copper piece, which has changed my life.
Speaker 4: You see.
Speaker 6: Honestly, I used to use plastic. It's not helpful. Little
Speaker 6: copper stainless.
Speaker 3: Still, I've got one that was like a spoon. But
Speaker 3: every morning I'm just going.
Speaker 2: Important. But it's necessary.
Speaker 5: Wait, what do you mean by copper?
Speaker 2: Is it like just the metal?
Speaker 6: It's like a bended piece of metal, right, I guess
Speaker 6: it doesn't mess with your mouth pH or something.
Speaker 1: See, because I've tried to use one before and it
Speaker 1: just feels like I've got all these bubbly things on
Speaker 1: the back of my tongue, and I worry that it
Speaker 1: feels like I'm scraping your chncels baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think you need those.
Speaker 3: You know, we don't like getting them removed as a
Speaker 3: whole freaking process. So yeah, di I y at home
Speaker 3: on your own.

Speaker 3: You want me to have an actual like a physical okay,
Speaker 3: physical works, maybe some insuls my feet, like just orthopedic

Speaker 3: you'd be on your feet a lot running from something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna gel let's make it am.
Speaker 4: I right, yeah, no, I'd be dead first.
Speaker 5: We're going to get a foot locker popp up.
Speaker 2: Maybe in a chemists warehouse in the apocalypse exactly.
Speaker 1: One of your first lines in the show is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite words and the show that I a
Speaker 1: word that I try and slip into the show here
Speaker 1: at flex.
Speaker 5: And Rooms see your next Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 3: When you try to use it over like in America,
Speaker 3: they it's very harsh the people. My favorite thing about
Speaker 3: saying it in LA is that people pretend like they're
Speaker 3: cool and they're.
Speaker 4: Like, oh yeah, color. It's like very stressful for people,
Speaker 4: but it's a it's a good one. It's a strong word.
Speaker 3: You can use it in almost any I use it for, like,
Speaker 3: you know, casually, as an insult, as a compliment.
Speaker 4: What about you take me.
Speaker 2: Day to night?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, office to the nightclub kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I'm the sports girl of words?
Speaker 5: Is the sports skirl of words? You live in la
Speaker 5: at the moment?
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 5: How does it?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the requisite question that you ask
Speaker 1: any Australian that's moved to Angela's What is the one
Speaker 1: thing about Australia that you miss? All of it?
Speaker 4: Honestly?
Speaker 3: I was walking around Melbourne yesterday and I just felt
Speaker 3: so like safe, at peace, but also like excited. It
Speaker 3: was Moomber as well, which is a festival I haven't
Speaker 3: been to since I was twelve.
Speaker 4: The last time I was there, I threw up Nacho's
Speaker 4: all over my stepdad.
Speaker 3: He probably deserved it, you know, but I Yeah, Australia
Speaker 3: is just like it's a really special, special place and
Speaker 3: I feel so much more connected to it now than
Speaker 3: I did when I was a teen, because when I
Speaker 3: was a teenager, I was going to school, I was working,
Speaker 3: but like, I felt this kind of claustrophobia here. But
Speaker 3: now that I'm back, it feels really expansive. And Sydney's
Speaker 3: so beautiful, the weather's amazing, one's got any guns. It
Speaker 3: just feels kind of RelA you know, you go to
Speaker 3: the movies and not worry about it.
Speaker 5: Are you coming back then?
Speaker 3: I will try to come back as much, but this
Speaker 3: is not as much work here, so maybe I'll just
Speaker 3: come for your third home please.
Speaker 1: So you're a Melbourne gal, which is very exciting to meet.
Speaker 1: Melbourn's very close.
Speaker 2: To my heart. Could you tell for me as a
Speaker 2: fellow Melbourne.
Speaker 4: Well, I follow both on Instagram obsessively. So yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: Am I giving Sydney.
Speaker 4: Vine, you give Hobart vibes.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it is good to fish for a little something
Speaker 6: because your expectations can be exceeded.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you are the world, but you're also Tasmania.
Speaker 5: Tasmania appealed.
Speaker 4: May I ask?
Speaker 1: So I have a thing like, if you're a listener,
Speaker 1: you might be from Sydney, but there's a thing in
Speaker 1: Melbourne called the Southeastern Suburbs. It's where I grew up
Speaker 1: it's where I went to school and it's a very
Speaker 1: expensive part of Melbourne. Did you expensive expansive? Right, but
Speaker 1: definitely levels. We got levels of expense. You don't need
Speaker 1: to docks where you grew up. But are you from
Speaker 1: the southeastern suburbs. I'm from Bayside. I knew it.
Speaker 2: You court a vibe, but what does it mean.
Speaker 3: It's just well, when we moved there, which was like
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight, so we my family and I we
Speaker 3: lived all over the world.
Speaker 4: It was very cosmopolitan of us.
Speaker 3: But then we settled in Australia like nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 3: and that neighborhood was sort of it was just it
Speaker 3: felt very like, I don't know, like old school, like
Speaker 3: everyone was walking around.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's hard to explain because like we lived in compounds
Speaker 3: in like Dubai and Singapore and stuff, and then we
Speaker 3: came back to Australia in these beautiful Victorian houses. The
Speaker 3: beach is right there, so many schools. So back then
Speaker 3: it felt like a more kind of like I wouldn't
Speaker 3: say inclusive. I don't think it's ever been inclusive, but
Speaker 3: it was like a nice safe space. Nowadays, we got
Speaker 3: on the train I've actually got a video of me
Speaker 3: and my girlfriend getting on the train in one of
Speaker 3: those neighborhoods and it's just like fifty girls with like
Speaker 3: long blonde I mean, they was so cute, but it
Speaker 3: was just wild seeing my girlfriend were like short, black hair,
Speaker 3: blue eyes covered in tattoos, just amidst the sea.
Speaker 4: Of girls going. I've seen that catch.
Speaker 2: Each other bloody hot in.
Speaker 3: Here and like standing outside like anyway. But yeah, but
Speaker 3: that's where you're from too.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's giving not Windsor because that's not near the beach,
Speaker 1: but I know the exact train line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my family's moved a little bit further east now,
Speaker 4: but yeah, like.
Speaker 2: Give us the coordinates. Oh, I knew it, knew. She's
Speaker 2: happy to docs.
Speaker 1: I left. I grew up in Mount Waverley, Oh beautiful.
Speaker 5: But now my parents live in somewhere else along the beach.
Speaker 2: He used to live in Ormond.
Speaker 3: So I've been on the Frankston line a lot and
Speaker 3: I'm still on the Frankston line. Where my parents live.
Speaker 4: Now is where I was born. Frankston.
Speaker 5: You're in Frankston. People who live in Melbourne are really
Speaker 5: going to love this segment.
Speaker 3: Its sport now, Yeah, I used to say Melbourne, but
Speaker 3: then when I went to get it renewed, they were like, well,
Speaker 3: it says Frankston on your birth certificate, so we've got
Speaker 3: to put Frankston.
Speaker 4: And I was like, cheers for that.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: Frankston's up and coming. I have one final how do
Speaker 5: I say confession?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So when I was growing up in Mount Waverley.
Speaker 1: I was twelve and neighbors, so you're on neighbors. They
Speaker 1: had a casting call through Girlfriend magazine and it was
Speaker 1: probably the most blessed and embarrassing thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4: I've ever You're getting triggered.
Speaker 2: I got my mom to do Lifetime Beef coming to
Speaker 2: the Surface, not going to be chill.
Speaker 1: Here's your redunptionab let's do it it is And my
Speaker 1: mom did my tape and then she was like, we'll
Speaker 1: take a photo of you because I just did a
Speaker 1: headshot and it's like me. I got her to blow
Speaker 1: wave my hair and it's like all quoifed back and
Speaker 1: I'm in front of the bogan Viilly. I just like
Speaker 1: and I didn't get a call back.
Speaker 2: Off audit.
Speaker 5: Now, well I don't think I yeah, I don't think
Speaker 5: my tape was really served?
Speaker 4: Did you commit me vulnerable?
Speaker 5: I want to dig deep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I dug very very deep. A little too deep,
Speaker 1: would say for want to be actors. Also, flex was
Speaker 1: just in a show. Won't you No Free Press? We've
Speaker 1: all been, we've all had little parts in Australian serieses
Speaker 1: when we're adi, when we're auditioning, what is your number
Speaker 1: one tip for somebody who's auditioning over like tape beta blockers.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's it's funny because like we're actually quite simplistic
Speaker 3: as people. As I'm sure you guys know you work
Speaker 3: with people all the time, but like people are just
Speaker 3: wanting to be connected with They want to feel seen,
Speaker 3: and they also want to feel confident that you know
Speaker 3: that you're in control and like that however you exhibit
Speaker 3: that you are in control of a space.
Speaker 4: I know that's so much easier said than done.
Speaker 3: But it's like when you go and see stand up, like,
Speaker 3: I don't want to feel embarrassed for you, and if
Speaker 3: you're feeling embarrassed owning it, I think vulnerability really is
Speaker 3: the key. I much prefer taping at home because when
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed, it's so obvious and I look so uptight.
Speaker 4: I'm like, everything's fine.
Speaker 3: And I don't have yet the skill set to really
Speaker 3: just kind of like, you know, let loose in front
Speaker 3: of people. But if you're gonna have to tape, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, taping is great. You can do as many
Speaker 3: bloody times as you want. But in front of other people,
Speaker 3: give them some chat, you know, but not too much.
Speaker 3: Don't try to shake their hands.
Speaker 4: Just just you know, have empathy.
Speaker 6: Just be yourself, be vunerable, don't shake their hands. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 6: what if some other don't.
Speaker 3: I don't wear too much perfume. They get very overwhelmed
Speaker 3: by perfume. They all claim they've got headaches from it
Speaker 3: all their over allergies. Just if you're getting clipped short answers,
Speaker 3: just sort of like read into that.
Speaker 4: It is what it is.
Speaker 3: And if they want to talk to you, don't try
Speaker 3: to leave, you know what I mean. Like I've done
Speaker 3: a lot of that where like I'll be walking out
Speaker 3: the door and they'll be like, oh, so you're you're
Speaker 3: in America. You got a green card?
Speaker 6: Do it?
Speaker 4: And You're like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And because I'm such and have so much imposter syndrome,
Speaker 3: just trying to sort of shut the door on them
Speaker 3: as they're talking to me. So it's a combination of like,
Speaker 3: don't take up too much space, but take up as
Speaker 3: much space as allotted to you in those particular environments.
Speaker 4: That's a life lesson, is straight.
Speaker 1: Up probably not what I want to hear, just coming
Speaker 1: off the back of some dating turbulentce you know, like
Speaker 1: it it's a bit like dating, like you only want
Speaker 1: to take so much you can get the clip danswers.
Speaker 1: Don't shut the door if they're trying to open your heart.
Speaker 5: It all makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, if you're not an actor, you just
Speaker 1: got a little bit of wisdom from Kaitlin.
Speaker 2: Act you're a data. You can't be both.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you so much for coming.
