Here's the thing. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: to from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world, 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries, 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 2: to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: as I share my adventures with you. Hello, this is 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: your south By Southwest, Austin, Texas Diary pod. Now your 9 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: next two Monday epps are going to be south By specials. 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: And that'll because I did so many pod interviews, so 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: that's going to happen the next couple of weeks. But 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: this is just a diary. Like just got back to La, 13 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: let's run through it. So we were in Texas for 14 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: two reasons. We were at this sou By Southwest is 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: a huge film, film, TV, music, tech, AI Innovative Thinkers festival. 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: It's a seven day festival. We were there for four 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: of those seven days, so I believe it's a seven 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: day festival. Maybe it's eight, but I think it's seven, Okay, 19 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: So we're there for two reasons. One, there is a 20 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 2: pilot for a TV show called Codependent. I was cast 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: in it, I acted in it, and Boss did the composing, 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 2: and it had its world premiere at south By Southwest Festival, 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: which is huge, and then had a second screening as 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: well and any panels and all sorts. So that was 25 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: one of the reasons. And the other reason was that 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: the American Australian Association had this huge activation called Australia House, 27 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: and I was hosting the Australia House podcast over a 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: couple of days, and that was a lot of fun too. 29 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: So let's let's just run through how this all went. 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: So first of all, let's start the start. I don't 31 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: know much about internal airlines in America, but I gotta say, 32 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: and this isn't a plug, we flew Delta. Delta's great. 33 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: I don't know if Delta is like the equivalent of 34 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: Qundus in Australia. I can't tell you, but I will 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: say we've flown Delta a few times now, and I 36 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: am like seriously looking into the right kind of credit 37 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: card to help me accrue points because we love flying 38 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: with them. We buy like the Base Economy, which is 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: like the cheapest of the cheapest tickets and it's awesome 40 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: and if for some reason you get to the gate, 41 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: because in America, when you book flight tickets or aeroplane tickets, 42 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: you can't book your suitcases until twenty four hours before. 43 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Strange. 44 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: I know, it's like thirty five to fifty bucks a suitcase, 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: and you always want to do it in advance. You 46 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: don't want to do it at the airport because it 47 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: jumps up drastically like doubles in price trip. We were like, no, 48 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: we're going to do carry on. We're only there for 49 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: four days. We can make this work and it just 50 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: saves so much time. So we were like, all right, 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: let's let's do carry on. But the cool thing is 52 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: so our flights. Obviously, the flights in and out of 53 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: Austin was super crazy busy. They were making people with 54 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: anyone with a wheelie suitcase check it in, but totally 55 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: for free. So anyway, great experiences with Delta. Again, it's 56 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: not a plug, just found. That's probably the fourth or 57 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: fifth time we've flown with them internally and they're great. Okay, 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: So then we get to our hotel. We stayed at 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: this place called the Downright and that was in downtown Austin. 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: The reason why we stayed in downtown Austin is you're 61 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: kind of in the hubor but you can walk everywhere. 62 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: We could walk to Australia House really easily. Turned out 63 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: this hotel was actually the hub for music, so there 64 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: was like live music on every night and really cool stuff. 65 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: So day one we get in, we go to the 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: welcome night for Australia House, which was a lot of fun. 67 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: It was like mingling drinks, lovely, a lot of fun, 68 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: and then Boss and I made a mad dash because 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: it was the So this is the thing that activations 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: go for like two days, five days, three days. 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: Like there was a. 72 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: Peaky Blinders Immortal Man activation that Netflix put on that 73 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: had already finished by. 74 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: The time we got there. 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: And I knew that the Paramount Plus Lodge was going 76 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: to end at eight pm the day we got in, 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: so I had grand plans for us to like get in, 78 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: drop our stuff at our hotel room, run to Paramount Lodge, 79 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: Paramount Plus Lodge, and then go to the Australian welcome drinks. Anyway, 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: that did not work out because by the time we 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: got in from the aeroplane, we end up having to 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: check our wheelies. It just we only had like half 83 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: an hour to get ready and then have to go 84 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: to Australia House anyway, So you go to Australia House 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: and then Matt and I make this mad dath to 86 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: the Paramount Plus Lodge, which i'd seen online. 87 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: There was so it was like. 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: A multi three story by amazing activation. Now with south 89 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: By Southwest, you've got like badge entry and general admission. 90 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: So badge entry means you've paid a lot of money 91 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: to get a badge that will get you into all. 92 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: It gets you access to everything basically to panels, to 93 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: screenings to music performances. But there is an argumentry made 94 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: for general admission getting really good access to things too. Now, 95 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: because I knew we were podcasting or I was podcasting 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: for a huge chunk of south By, I said to Matt, 97 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: there's no point of buying a badge because I know 98 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to bet Australia House for like at least 99 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: eighty percent of the time, and we've bought we had 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: bought pre bought tickets to Codependent screening, so we knew 101 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: we would get to see the screening that we had 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: to see. 103 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: And the badges are kind of deer They're like, I. 104 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: Think they're about fifteen hundred dollars, Like it's whereas our 105 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: ticket to see the screening was like thirty five anyway, 106 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: so I said to me, I was like, let's dash 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: to the Paramount Plus lodge.

At this stage it's twenty past seven. I'm like, 110 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, it's shutting in forty minutes, Like, what 111 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: are we going to do now.
