24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: you love it. Hooru. Hello. As promised, we are doing

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: a best of a episode for you. So I have

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: road tested the best salads, the best juices, smoothies, coffee,

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: even naughtier food like takeout burgers, pizzas, donuts, cookies. So

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: without further ado, let's get into it. I've also made

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: just so you know, there's also a quick little list

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: of some fun touristy things things to do if you've

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: never been to Ala before. And then some fun cheap

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: shops like places you can get like costumes, props, fun

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: toys for kids that don't cost the earth. You know

34
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: what I mean. If you're bringing the fanbam. But I

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: think let's kick off with the best of Ala food. Now,

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: the premise of this pod is I have to have

37
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: tried it in order to recommend it for you, So

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I'll tell you what I tried, what

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I thought was great, what I thought wasn't great. So

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: let's start with an American staple, the good old fashioned cookie. Now,

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: as you may or may not know, I prefer to

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: be gluten and dairy free. I broke every single rule

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: to do this road test, so I've also given definitely

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: the cookie thing and a rating out of ten. I'm

45
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: actually going to start with a ten out of ten rating,

46
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: and it is for a vegan, dairy free, gluten free cookie. Now,

47
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: the brand is called Delucious. You can find them at

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: a lot of health food stores like Lassans, air One,

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Whole Foods. They also have their own little headquarters that

50
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: I visited in East LA, and it's cheap cheapest to

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: get them there. They do loads of different flavors like oatmeal,

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: chocchip cookie. My favorite is the butterscotch blondie, which technically

53
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: isn't a cookie, it's a blondie. So ten out of

54
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: ten gluten free, plant based. I think they do non

55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: gluten free cookies too, but if I get the choice

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: of gluten free over non gluten free, I'm gonna take

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: it ten out of ten. If you want a fail safe,

58
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: definitely get the chocchip cookie. It's not heated, it comes

59
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: at room temperature. Then I of course had to try

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: the gluten free oatmeal cookie. I went oatmeal raisin from

61
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: air One, or did I go oatmeal chocchip? I went

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: oatmeal raisin. It was a six out of ten. Again

63
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: not hot, nice but not phenomens compared to the Delucious.

64
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Delucious was like chewy and moist are so good. Okay.

65
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Insomnia is a famous chain over here. You get them hot.

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: They were good. They were just like a classico cookie

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: that you get from a packet, but warm. Ten points

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: for the warmness, but I'd give them like a seven

69
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: out of ten. The air One cookie I gave a

70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: six out of ten. Now, Bristol Farms is a beautiful,

71
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: luxurious supermarket here, but they do warm cookies too. They

72
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: do a peanut butter one and they do a chocchip

73
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: walnut one. They're famous for it. People swear by it.

74
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't drinking the kool aid that said. The peanut

75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: butter one was awesome. I'd give the peanut butter one

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: an eight out of ten, but I'd give their regular

77
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: chocchip walnut one a six out of ten. The next

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: one is pad Paderrhea. This is amazing. This is imagine

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: a cookie, but then the size of a golf ball

80
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: of cookie dough like a mound in it. They don't

81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: come to you warm. That would be the only downside,

82
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm not giving it a ten out

83
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: of ten. I'm giving it a nine out of ten.

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: But I was able to get two. You need to

85
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: get the salted chocchip number one. That's my number one rule.

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: And then they have a seasonal one. So I've tried

87
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: the white chocolate, raspberry and the toffee pretzel. All this

88
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: is making me salbate. I was lucky enough to bring

89
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: them home and heat them up in the oven for

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: sneaky ten minutes. That made them a ten out of ten.

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: That is amazing. That place is in Santa Monica. It's

92
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: called Poderia Poderia. Another one that it's a chain is

93
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: called Crumble. They're good, They're not healthy, though they're very sugary.

94
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: A hot tip if you order from them, get the

95
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: warmed cookies, the chocchip salt. The salted chocchip is always

96
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: comes warmed, and then each week they have different seasonal flavors. Again,

97
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: go for whatever one's a warm, so much nicer the

98
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: ones that are just room temp. Like I try to

99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: TwixT one room temp not that good and you'll be

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: on a sugar high. That one is like diabetes in

101
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: a cookie for shower and not GF Right, let's stick

102
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: with the sugar diabetes in inducing foods. DK Donuts is

103
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: a oh donuts, should I say? DK Donuts has been

104
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: around forever, just like Randy's. I haven't been to Randy's,

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: but DK and Randy's and near one another. Randy's is

106
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: the one you see on all the big movies. It's

107
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: that big brown donut that you see in La There's

108
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: one right near the airport, and there's one in Santa

109
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Monica that I'm aware of. DK Donuts is in Santa Monica.

110
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the maple, the long maple donut was amazing.

111
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: The rest just tastes like normal donuts to me, nothing

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: specially other than just really sugary. But I have found

113
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: some good gluten free ones and healthier ones. Sidecar Donuts

114
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: do great gluten free ones. My favorite flavor of their

115
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: gluten free is the huckleberry and butter salt. Really weird

116
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: it sounds, but it's really good. The flavor I did

117
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: not like is vanilla chi because it just was so

118
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: strong in nutmeg but for a gluten free donut, these

119
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: guys are great like it doesn't taste too dense or

120
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. Another good brand for a much more healthy,

121
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: gluten free, dairy free, plant based option. They're called Glownuts.

122
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: The best flavor is Sneakerdoodle. You will find them in

123
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the refrigerated section of health food stores like air One,

124
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: Whole Foods, and Lassans. Sneakerdodle though, best flavor, and that's

125
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 1: much healthier, much less sugar, must much less carbohydrate. Tastes

126
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: more like an energy ball or a raw cake than

127
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: a donut. Where his sidecar is literally like a donut.

128
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 1: Of course Dunkin Donuts it's a staple here. I got

129
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: a maple and a strawberry pears. I've done all this

130
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: road testing over the three years of living here, just

131
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: so you know. I wasn't like, right, I'm need the

132
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: best of aalet. What can I consume in one week?

133
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: This is over three years, right, But the maple and

134
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the strawberry really yummy. Classical donuts the way that Krispy

135
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Kreme is or Krispy Kreme, I never know how to

136
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: say it is classico donut. I didn't get any of them,

137
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: but then the traditional glazed is Matt's favorite. When we're

138
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: in Australia and we go through an airport, we always

139
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: get it, So I would say the best on that

140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: list's sidecar. There's another company here called Nonuts. I haven't

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: been there for a few years, but that is on

142
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: Melrose and it's a gluten free doughnut place that is

143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: meant to be unreal. What was unreal when I went, Okay,

144
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: let's go savory, let's switch it up. Burger's wholely mac.

145
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: So you've got the classical in and out. I personally

146
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: am a massive in and out fan when it comes

147
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: to if I'm going to have a cheap meal, that's

148
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: the meal I'm going to have. I've got my standard meal.

149
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I order a bit off the secret menu, So I

150
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this bit in and Out

151
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: as a secret menu. So this is my order. I'm

152
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: going to share it with you. If you come to La,

153
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: feel free to steal this order. It cost twelve dollars.

154
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: I get a regular cheeseburger, not a double, none of

155
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: that monarchy with grilled onions yum. Then I get animal

156
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: style fries and that means it's got like a special

157
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: sauce on it, melted cheese, pickles and onions, all like

158
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: grilled and delicious, and you need to get a fork

159
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: thlough because it's messy. And then I just get a

160
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: regular strawberry shake twelve bucks strawberry shakers out of this

161
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: world tastes amazing. That is my order. I don't mess

162
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: with it. I figured it out two years ago. I

163
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: don't muck with that order. I've gone and tried other

164
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: versions and variations of the order and tweaked here and

165
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: there and seeing the viral TikTok things. I've tried animal

166
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: style cheeseburger bit much for me. I've tried animal style

167
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: fries with added pickles and jalapennos, again, bit much for me.

168
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: So that is my tried and tested in our order

169
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: that has taken I think it took me like until

170
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: my second year here to get that downpap shake shack.

171
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: I also had to have a tried and tested order,

172
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: have had to try go and try it different ways.

173
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: So I always get the chicken. They call it chicken

174
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: sandwich here, but it's a chicken burger. I always get

175
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: the chicken shack with a here's the tree Shake, Shack

176
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Molted Cookies and Cream Shake, so you can get cookies

177
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: and cream on molted, or you can just get molted.

178
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I've tried the plain molted shake too, very very good.

179
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: It's like a maltese er in a shake. But I

180
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: get the molted cookies and cream shake. I get the

181
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Shack chicken burger, and then I get their fries with

182
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the cheese on it and ask for ketchup and put

183
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: ketchup and very good. Another beautiful cheat meal where you'll

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: feel great. A bit more expensive than In and Out.

185
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Wendy's is famous here. I saw it was going viral

186
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: on TikTok. I was like, all, R, I'm going to

187
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: try the they're caught oh on the shakeshack thing. They

188
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: have desserts called custards. Nah, just stick to the I've

189
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: tried the vanilla and the chocolate. Nah. Just stick to

190
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: the thick shake as you dessert. That's what I reckon. Anyway,

191
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Wendy's on TikTok they have a thing called Frosty that

192
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: everyone's going mental for because the strawberry one is out

193
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: recent maybe recently, I don't know. Anyway, I tried it. Terrible,

194
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: don't go to Wendy's terrible yuck. But go to In

195
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: and Out or Shakeshack. They're the two hierarchy of the

196
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: junk food in America. I've been to Carl's Junior with friends.

197
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: I never ate there, but I watched them eat. It

198
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. But again, because I know how good

199
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: in and Out in Shakeshack are, I rarely will deviate.

200
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Like if I'm going to do a cheat meal, it

201
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: better well be a good darn cheat meal, so I

202
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: don't muck with inferior junk food. The Wendy's is a

203
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: great example. Wendy's was not good. I also got some

204
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: just like a small thing of fries. They were okay.

205
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: It's just like McDonald's fries. I have never eaten McDonald's

206
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: in America purely because in and Out in Shakeshack are

207
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: the best. Ah. There is an amazing burger place in

208
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: Santa Monica called heavy Handed. This is incredible. They're known

209
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: for a smash burger, which means I smashed the paddy.

210
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: So what did I try there? They don't do shakes there.

211
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: I got the regular cheeseburger smash burger, so the paddy

212
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: is smashed, and then I got there loaded I think

213
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: they're called loaded fries or heavy fries, and it's got

214
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: like everything on it, like sauce, cheese, pickles, onions, holy mac.

215
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: That's like a burger within itself. On the fries delish.

216
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: And then I got a soft serve with dipped in

217
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: butterscotch flavor. And you can get like fun fetti or chocolate.

218
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: That wasn't amazing. The winner was the burger and the fry.

219
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: The loaded fries I've also had and this is really

220
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: jogging my memory because it's when I was living in

221
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: Los Velis. Last year I went to Little Doms and

222
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: I had another chicken burger scenario there with my friend David,

223
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: and it was insane, like so incredible, that proper like

224
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: milky battered chicken. Anything you get from Little Doms. It's

225
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: an Italian like deli. But you can get burgers, you

226
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: can get your chicken sandwiches. My friend Lili has got

227
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: like a meatball sub one time. You can get pizza

228
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: past everything there. You can get gluten free there. Little

229
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Doms is good for if you want yeah, little block

230
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: atmeal that's delicious, okay, And I'm sure you get phenomenal pizza,

231
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: which brings me to The next one pizza gluten free vegan.

232
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: I have tried a Pizzaana. They're in brent Wood and

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: I think West Hollywood. Good. Would I get it again? No,

234
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: just like good if you were like, I need a pizza,

235
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: but I don't want to have an upset stomach if

236
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: you're gluten free. If you want the proper pizza, that

237
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: is just like amazing New York style. So New York

238
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: pizzas come more in that like square cut vibe. I

239
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: think go to Prince Street Pizza. There is one in

240
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. If Prince Street Pizza comes from New York

241
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: literally because it's on Prince Street, they do two. I

242
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: have had it twice now, and they do. I think

243
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: it's called the Naughty. And that's where it's got ricotta,

244
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: those little Peccerini PECCERINOI little sausage things on top and

245
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: spicy honey. Spicy honey is the thing over here at

246
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: the moment. So good. And then there's another one that

247
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: I think is just like your classico Peccorino. I hope

248
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying pecerina right. I'm trying to say that little

249
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: sausage thing chopped in little discs really really really really

250
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: really really good. But if in doubt get the naughty.

251
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: My eye is always bigger than my tummy. You definitely

252
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: don't need more than two slices. Stop it too, That

253
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: is my advice on that one. But it is amazing.

254
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: You can eat in, you can take away whatever you want,

255
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: so cool a little vibe there on the pizza night.

256
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: I also found pizza seasoning at Trader Joe's that I've

257
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: started to put on vegetables when I roast vegetables on

258
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: a healthier day, but want those flavors very good. Definitely

259
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: check out the seasonings at Trader Joe's. Right, oh, let's

260
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: switch gears. Let's switch gears. We've talked about a lot

261
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: of treaty kind of foods. Let's talk salads. You cannot

262
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: go wrong with an air one salad. It does come

263
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: with a price tag, though. The cheapest salad you will

264
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: get a air one is about fifteen ninety five. That's

265
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: not including tax, so you can't really walk out of

266
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: there without spending twenty five bucks or so by the

267
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: time you get it. And then you get like a

268
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: little treaty for raftoor or an olipop drink or something

269
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: like that. My favorite is the Mexican taco salad. It's

270
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: plant based, vegan and gluten free. But they do a

271
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: great chopped chicken salad. They do an awesome vegan caesar salad.

272
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: They also have their hot bar where you can add

273
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: your own salads. They do this salad kale, white bean,

274
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: pepeda and mustard so good. And then I sometimes get

275
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: that in a colared green rap. It's called a mad rap,

276
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: so yummy with turkey. Really good. So salads you can't

277
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: go wrong with at Air One Elfelfa is a salad

278
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Barren Santa Monica, really great. I've had two salads there.

279
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: I've had the green Ranch Goddess and I have had

280
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the Peruvian chicken, both really good. I would say they

281
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: both eight out of tens. I know, I'm a bit

282
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: of a salad nerd. I love making salads at home,

283
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: so for me to go out and be wowed by

284
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: a salad, I need to be wowed by it. That said,

285
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: I was wowed by the salads at all times. That's

286
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: in Lost Feelers. I love the good ass salad. They

287
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: also do a great nisoir. They do a great salmon

288
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: bowl at their Deer They're expensive if they come with

289
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: a price tag, but it does feel like a really

290
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: yummy meal out. Another great nisoa is at Figario and

291
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: that's also in Lost Feels that one's on Vermont and

292
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: All Time is on Hillhurst. So say you want to

293
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: make a day of it and do like the Griffith

294
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Park Observatory hike, you could end it all time and

295
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: have a really yummy brunch. They do get very busy

296
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: and they don't take booking, so you've got a line up,

297
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: but they're really nice and they usually give you like

298
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: donuts and drinks and stuff if you're waiting for a while.

299
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Great White is now in two locations and they do

300
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: fantastic poky bowls, so they're Australian owned. There's one in

301
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: Venice and there's one in Larchmont. Definitely go for the vibe.

302
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: They do really yummy detox smoothie too. Highly recommend Goop

303
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: if you're wanting to take away, try their chop salad.

304
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: It's fourteen fifty if you don't add it on any

305
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: extra proteins. Quite good value, yummy too, like quite yummy,

306
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: and they do you have interesting ingredients like heirloom golden

307
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: beets and dates through it and It's quite yummy and filling,

308
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: and you can make it vegan or whatever you want.

309
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: The goop is quite good for like a really good

310
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: grab and go take away salad. Kind of sits at

311
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: a similar price range to Air one Radio. Staying on

312
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: the health train. Best places for green juices and smoothies

313
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: obviously Air one, you know I love the Big Green

314
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: is fantastic. I always get it with extra spinach, really nice,

315
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: Post Polarates, Post Yoga highly recommend. Another great green juice

316
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: place is called Lassons. They do the Green Monster. It's

317
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: like five dollars less than the Air one one, and

318
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: it's still organic and still super clean, so you're kind

319
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: of paying for the brand to be with. Their one

320
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Rainbow Acres in Venice is awesome as well. They do

321
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: a really good green green juice and it's like seven dollars, again,

322
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: half the price of Air one Earth Bar. They're more

323
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: smoothies than juices. I got this blue Spirrillina smoothie. It

324
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: was not nice and their customer service wasn't good, so

325
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't go back there, to be honest.

326
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: Joe and the Juice is a chain. I've had their

327
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: Green Juice really good. They're famous for their viral TikTok

328
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: tuna melts. I've never had one, I've just seen them

329
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: on TikTok. And then for smoothies, of course, air one

330
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: and Lassens would probably be the top of the pops

331
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: for those ones. One of course, is where you get

332
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: your glazed Hailey Bieber strawberry glazed smoothie, which is full

333
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: of collagen and CEA moss and literally eighteen US dollars,

334
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: so when you add tax twenty and then that's like

335
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: nearly thirty strollion dollars. Ridio USA fast food. I've touched

336
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 1: on that on the burger joints before. But in the

337
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: order of best too where so I'm going to say

338
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: in and Out very closely followed by Shakeshack. I don't

339
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: know what Carl's Junior and Macas are here, but like

340
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to give them both a four out of

341
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: ten and Wendy's a four out of ten. Two, so

342
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: I'd stick to in and Outshack. They're everywhere. You know

343
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a yummy meal either of them if

344
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,800

347
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,119

348
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: the coffee Commissionary or Commissary, I always say it wrong.

349
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: That's in West Hollywood. Really popular, nice seating, really good

350
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: spot for a meeting. Actually, I'm taking a meeting at

351
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: Verve tomorrow on Melrose, and that's an amazing coffee spot.

352
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: I haven't been for like four years though, but I'm

353
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: looking forward to going there. Also Intelligentsia that's a chain,

354
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: really great coffee. I actually buy their beans at Target

355
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: because it's the cheapest place to buy them, but really

356
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: yummy beans for my French press. Lamille in silver Lake

357
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: is great for coffee. Lacomber I've only been to once.

358
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: I went to the Silver Lake location. It was really good.

359
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: Go get them. Tiger is a chain that is in Larchmont,

360
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: silver Lake. I think there's one in West Hollywood. There

361
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: is one in West Hollywood, there's one on Montana. Have

362
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica. Really good Primo I think it's called

363
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: Primo Primo that's on Montana. Also great coffee. Some places

364
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: don't have Stevia, so steal a few Stevie berhags when

365
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: you go so that you can take it to other

366
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: coffee shops when you, of course buy a coffee and

367
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: use it. I just snab one for later. Alfred's is

368
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: a chain, really yummy, bit expensive, but really yummy. La

369
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: La Land is in Santa Monica. They do all the

370
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: fancy like colored I think, like coffees and matches a

371
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: bit like church our matcher, you know, like the lavender

372
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: and matcher, and they're really really yummy. I think they

373
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: use sugary syrups in there. And then of course Starbucks

374
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: being their og coffee spot here. I don't go there

375
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: that much because, like obviously you've just heard a whole

376
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: list of amazing places. But I have seen on TikTok

377
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: they now have sugar free sweetness. That said, that means

378
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: they might still have like sucralose or a spartan which

379
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: is bad sugar free sweetness in them, but good to

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: know they've got a few different options. And I know

381
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: they have oat milk and alm and milk as an

382
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: option too. Okay. I wanted to quickly mention some healthy

383
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: grocery stores because when you get here Obviously you're used

384
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: to coals and Woolies, which don't exist here. The equivalent

385
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: to coals and moolies ps is Vond's and Albertson's. They're

386
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: not the best value, they're not the best ones. But

387
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: if you're looking for the equivalent to coals the Aulies,

388
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: that's it. I go to Trader Joe's, which is probably

389
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: a tiny Oh, it's not always more expensive than Von's

390
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: and Alberson. It's actually good value if you know how

391
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: to shop it. But if you just go there and

392
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: you're like, ooh snack, ooh snack, it'll cost a lot.

393
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: But if you go there and kind of like hunt

394
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: for your staples and your condiments savally, it can be

395
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: quite cost effective. Larsons is amazing. Whole Foods is really good.

396
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: They're really healthy ones. Larsons is more co op Vibes

397
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: than Air Wine and Whole Foods. It's a little bit cheaper.

398
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: Bristol Farms is lucks but fun to shop in, as

399
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: is Galson's Pavilions. They're kind of like really good, like

400
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: really nice supermarkets, like a Ralph's. Avon's and Albertson's is

401
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: like a Woolies or a Coles. These guys are a

402
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: little bit more like Lucks. Honorable mention goes to target

403
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: targets here and not like targets at home. There's whole

404
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: booze section, there's a whole fresh organic food section. There's

405
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: a whole like frozen goods section, just like a supermarket,

406
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: and it's always got a CBS attached to it, and

407
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: often as Starbucks to just handy to know if you're

408
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: traveling right, cheap Shop's worth mentioning Marshals. You can. It's

409
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: so much fun. I love going at Halloween. You can

410
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: get like everything there you can, from suitcases to pajamas,

411
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: to skin care to mugs to home wears. It's amazing.

412
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Marshals is just fun for having a sus Ross stress

413
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: for less. I have got really cool little T shirts

414
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: from there, my Yellowstone muggers from there, which was like

415
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: three dollars. It's again it's easy to spend a lot though,

416
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: because remember when you look at the price tag in America,

417
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: it hasn't had tax added to it. They add that

418
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: at the counter. TJ Max. I think it's a bit

419
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: like Ross and Marshals in that it's like a bit

420
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: of an everything kind of like home Wears bit of

421
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: clothing vibes. Ninety nine cents stores are amazing and addictive.

422
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: Obviously everything isn't ninety nine cents, but it's close to

423
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: great if you've got a party and you want to

424
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: get like party hats and party poppers and you know,

425
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: serviettes and all that kind of thing and snacks and yeah,

426
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: nine one senstores. Each one is quite different, so it's

427
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: a lucky bit like a Target in CVS, Like whichever

428
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: one you get to, it's a different vibe to the

429
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: other ones. Dollar Tree, which is very similar to a

430
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine cent store. And then again I had to

431
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: mention targets, so Target and CBS. CBS is their version

432
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: of a pharmacy, like a price line in Australia. But

433
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: again each one's a different. There's like toy sections, there's

434
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: ice cream sections, there's booze sections. It's really fun. It's

435
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: fun just to go and like get your Americana on

436
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: how did we go? Gang are really powered through that

437
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: one for you. But I just wanted you to have

438
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: a little list. If you come to America and you're like,

439
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: holy moly, I'm so overwhelmed. What the if you know

440
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: all they need is like a panadole, and obviously they

441
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: don't have panadole here, Like it's all different to back home.

442
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: You know that would be tylan ol and then you

443
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: know you've got advil more anti inflam So you know,

444
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: if you need to get to a pharmacy, a CVS

445
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: as a chain that you'll see everywhere, that's going to

446
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: be a pharmacy. Targets are great. They're often open late,

447
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a bit of everything. If you just

448
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: like get to your hotel and you're like, shivers, I

449
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: need to get a few Staples. Targets are fantastic, And

450
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: I think, like, yeah, if you've got kiddo's, going to

451
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: a target, a CBS, a ninety nine cent store is

452
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: really great for kiddos. Loads of cheap toys at like

453
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: a ninety nine cent store. And then I just wanted

454
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: to mention some fun touristic things to do. Obviously some

455
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 1: of these are going to be really really obvious, but

456
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: still worth putting on your LA bucket list. Disneyland it's

457
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: a big drive, so hire a car, get there early,

458
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: get a fast pass, which means you don't need to

459
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: line up for as long. Universal studios. So much fun. Again,

460
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: I just get there early for all of this paramount

461
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot. Pretty sure they do a tour as well.

462
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: Go to a taping like you could go to a

463
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel taping. I've been to a James Cordon taping

464
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: as well. It's so much fun. Don't worry, they're not

465
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: late night tapings. Even though they're late night shows. The

466
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: tapings are often done in the afternoon or early evening,

467
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: and then you get to see that show air a

468
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: couple of days later on real TV. So that's quite

469
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: cool and it's always free. You don't need to pay

470
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: you to do that. One. Go to a movie at

471
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: the Chinese Theater that's on the Hollywood Boulevard. You know

472
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: where the famous stars are on a Hollywood Boulevard Chinese Theater.

473
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: The tickets aren't that much more expensive than a regular cinema.

474
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: It's a huge cinema. There's the old like when you

475
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: walk in, there's like stormtroopers from Star Wars like costumes.

476
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: There's a wax figure of Alfred Hitchcock holding the Psycho script.

477
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: There's Marilyn Monroe in a beautiful outfit like there's it's

478
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: really cool you feel like you're at a little theater

479
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: like movie museum, and then you can it's beautiful inside,

480
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: it's huge. I saw top gun Imax. They're so good.

481
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: And there's boxes there too, so there's like the old

482
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe box and the JFK Box, which apparently they

483
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: would like meet up after going to the movies and

484
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: meet up at the Roosevelt across the road. Ha, So

485
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: there you go. Like, I could talk to you about

486
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: so many things to do in La. I just thought

487
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: the foody sided things was interesting and I've never really

488
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: done it. We are going to do a best of

489
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: La in each of the diary episodes. We've only done

490
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: cookies so far, so if you want to a refresher

491
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: on any of this, I will be touching on all

492
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: the foody bits in the diary episodes, but only what

493
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: a week. And I thought, oh, this will be a

494
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: good way to condense it all so that you can

495
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: have it all in one spot. If you end up

496
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: booking any trips to LA, you'll be like, great, I

497
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: know I know where to go good areas, Like there

498
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: are so many different good areas in each area you

499
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: have a completely different experience. I started off more in

500
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: the east in Lost Feelers. For the last two and

501
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: a half years now i'm more west. I've been in

502
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: like brent Wood and Santa Monica, and it's a completely

503
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: different vibe because you're on the beach right, so it's cooler,

504
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: like literally five to ten degrees cooler than being more

505
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: near the hills, the Hollywood Hills and in Lost Feelers,

506
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: So you get a different vibe depending on what you're after.

507
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: And also, like if you are coming here as an actor,

508
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: there are so many different acting schools literally, so so

509
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: many acting schools, improv schools, voice schools, theater school so

510
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: much stuff like riding schools. It's all here. And I

511
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: would encourage you if you're going to be in school,

512
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 1: like find a location that's not too hard for you

513
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: to get to. So if you know you're going to

514
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: be in school in Hollywood, then somewhere like Los Feelers

515
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: is a great location to be. Whereas if you're going

516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: to be at school more in the West or even

517
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: West Hollywood, well then you can be in somewhere like

518
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: Santa Monica and close to the beach. It's try and

519
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: figure out because the roads do get really really busy

520
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: and you can spend a lot of your day on

521
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the road. You will need a car in La. Turo

522
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Turo is a great hiring service. It's not cheap, so

523
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: I'd probably encourage you to join Aussie's in La if

524
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: you're planning planning on spending a long time here, which

525
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: is a Facebook group, so then you can hire cars

526
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: a little bit cheaper and whatnot. You can stay on

527
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: your Australian license for up to three months here and

528
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: then it's I'm pretty sure a federal offense, well definitely

529
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: a state offense, and then you've got to flick over

530
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: to an American license, which I've done. It's all very scary.

531
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: You literally start from scratch. It's wild. That's just a

532
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: to know if you're going to be driving here. And

533
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: Americans are really cool but completely different to us ause ease,

534
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: and so there is cultural barriers as far as like

535
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: just funny little things like even working I work at

536
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: a yogoszo and you have to have like punch codes,

537
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: so you literally like punch in and punch out like

538
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: time codes, which doesn't exist in a sterio at all. Also,

539
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: checks are still used here for many many months, I

540
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: paid my rent with check so, and I've paid like

541
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: photographers with checks, I've paid touch up people with checks

542
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: like it's normal. So just be aware there are little

543
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: things that will feel different. If you are moving here.

544
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: You'll need to think about building a credit rating. So

545
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: much a thing about so much to do in La

546
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: and it's a beautiful city, it's also a brutal one.

547
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: So come really clear, come really like mentally solid because

548
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: it can knock you around a little bit, and keep

549
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: up all of those practices, whether it be your therapist

550
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: doing it on zoom, whether it be like a yoga practice,

551
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: of breath work practice of meditation practice, all those things

552
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: that keep you really grounded. Because La is really go

553
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: go go, but it's also flighty, and some people will

554
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: stuff you around and some people are flaky, and some

555
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: people will take advantage of you. Like all of that

556
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: exists in La as well. For that said, it is

557
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: freaking amazing and I love it, but you know me,

558
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: I always like to give it to you real. So

559
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: there you have it. There is a Best of lat

00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,280
