1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to you

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with me

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Pod Diary,

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: coming to you from Los Angeles. I had done a

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: few fair few things this week, so I am in

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: acting school. I saw a movie. We had a really

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: yummy birthday dinner for a friend. Last night, I had

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: an air one date, not with the boss of Chains,

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: with my movie date, Chloe. So it's been a fun,

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: a fun week here in LA and I head to

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: New York in two days. I'm literally after I finished

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: recording this rangel MAT's place to borrow some wintry clothes

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: because I think it's sitting at zero degrees in New

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: York right now, or maybe like one or two. So

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: I am, as a lot of the listeners know, I've

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: been living in Byron before LA, so all my clothes

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: are very very very very summary so I think I've

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: just seen a borrow puffer jacket. I've got some like

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: wintry boots and maybe like a nice pair of boots

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: for like a couple of nights out. But I'm very excited.

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: Boss has surprised me with a little New York trip

26
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: as a Valentine's preso and how exciting. So I'm pumped. Okay,

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: So the week that was went to the movies with

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: my mate Chloe. We saw an unreal movie called One

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: of Them Days. It's got Scissor and Kiki Palmer in it.

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Their chemistry is unreach Apparently the movie was shot in

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty two days. Also in La. If you're coming to

32
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: La or visiting La, there are so many little iconic

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: lay moments in it. One of the locations is Norms,

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: which is this like quintessential New York diner vibe. But

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: Harley recommend it's a fun like friendship. I would say

36
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: like it's a best friendship hero's journey kind of story.

37
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Very fun, very light, very comedic, and the audience was

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: just like in fits of laughter the whole way through. Also,

39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: my first time going to the cinemas at the Grove

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: AMC Cinemas, at the Grove. So gorgeous and magical anytime

41
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you go to the Grove, especially at nighttime because there's

42
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: fairy lights, the water fountains going off. And yeah, cinemas

43
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: in La just are so much fun. Apparently there's a

44
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: cinema club here called a list Stubbs and you get

45
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: to go to three free movies a week or something

46
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: mental like something really like Wild. So I think I'm

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: going to join that at some stage. So anyway, that

48
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: movie was great, so fun if you just need a

49
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: lighthearted like full switch a brain off and just escapism

50
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: like fun laugh. It's a really great friendship movie, friendship story,

51
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: and all set in La. So very and very like

52
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: the real life of La. It's not like sitting bougie

53
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. It's like you know, figuring yourself out heroes.

54
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Very cool, very cool. Highly recommend. We had dinner at

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: the Grove air one beforehand. Of course, got a combo

56
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: plate because that's my favor thing to get. They pile

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: it up though I was I could not get movie snacks.

58
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I was two full from dinner, but it was so young.

59
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Got their buffalo cauliflower this slow cooked beef curry because

60
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: it's quite cold in La at the moment. It probably

61
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: gets to the teens at night. And what else? What

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: was it that? Oh, they do this gluten free, dairy

63
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: free vegan mac and cheese. I highly recommend. So that

64
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: was delish and that was so much fun. We did

65
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: that Monday night. The next I had acting school. Acting school.

66
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing a comedy. I don't know if I've told

67
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you that. It is so much fun. It's about a

68
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: fifteen minute scene. But I want to say to you

69
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: the lines of my little opening monologue because it's so funny.

70
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 1: So it is set in a car and it's these

71
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: three millennials kind of like just figuring their lives out.

72
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: And I would say the character that I play, her

73
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: name is Whitney, and she's a hot mess anyway. So

74
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: she's in the car essentially annoying her friends and taking

75
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: them up like we're all in the car our way

76
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: to a funeral actually, and my character is like having

77
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: a it's a long road trip and just like playing

78
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: that game like would you rather? So this is literally

79
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: not a word of a lie in my opening monologue,

80
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: take a second, would you rather date someone that calls

81
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: your vagina a one? Eyed Al's Beef Corral. Or date

82
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: someone who always immediately repeat something they think is funny

83
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: in the movies at the theater on TV In conversation,

84
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: would you rather turn into a troll monster every time

85
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: you're aroused and run around yelling blonde blonde black blah

86
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: blom or date someone you're madly in love with and

87
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: as perfect in every single way except as soon as

88
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: they come they turn into an umpah lumpa. Would you

89
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: rather your pussy shoot out freshly pop popcorn every time

90
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you come? Or queaf that green gag stuff from Nickelodeon,

91
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: but it smells like green apples, that is legit. My

92
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: opening monologue so fun, so much fun to like sit

93
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: in that like comedic writing, and oh I love it.

94
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun acting school. I've actually got

95
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: to email my acting teachers right out for this because

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: I'll be in New York for the next acting class

97
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: and I'm going to switch days. So acting school so much.

98
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: We've been doing a lot of work with like connecting

99
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: with our partner, curiosity, being relax, being open, and just

100
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: like having fun. And it has been exactly that, just

101
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: been like having so much fun. And I definitely love

102
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: comedy writing the most, whether it's sitcom, whether it's a

103
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: comedic play like this, it's just so much fun to

104
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: sit in. So I'm having an absolute ball at acting school.

105
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: What else, Oh, I want to tell you about this

106
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: delisious birthday dinner that the Bossachenhi made last night. He

107
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: made boobee what do you call it? Kodalinga, got a

108
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: letter which is right Italian style schnitzel. He made me

109
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: GF two, which was very nice. And then we had

110
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: slow roasted like peppers with bread and tadies and a

111
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: big salad, so yummy. And then Alex got a really

112
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: yummy panot called Flowers the Flowers. It was really yummy.

113
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: And then what else? What else did we make? Oh?

114
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Boss made biscotti and like almond biscotti. And then I

115
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: went to this Italian deli in Culver City. It's called

116
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Sorrento Italian Deli or Italian Fine Foods, and I picked

117
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: up the empty canoli shells, some chocolate dipped and some

118
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: regular and then Boss made this delicious lemon custard that

119
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: he essentially piped and put in a canoli shells. So

120
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: that was a couple of Facetimes with Lucy Matt's mum

121
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: to get it perfecto. But that tasted ten out of ten,

122
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: so delicious, so yummy. I loved anyway, he did really

123
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: good with tins. It was really really yummy. We had

124
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: that last night, and today is my day off, so

125
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm running around and just getting sort of New York.

126
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm in New York for three days, but because it

127
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: is so cold, I think I'm gonna have to organize

128
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: a suitcase and check some luggage in. But I'm really excited,

129
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to figure out if I need

130
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: to get thermals on top of warm clothes. I think

131
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to be fine, but I don't know, because

132
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I love walking and I want to be able to

133
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: stay warm enough to walk, you know. But also I

134
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: feel like it's going to be so busy, like I'm

135
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: doing so much, you know. So I'm so excited. I

136
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: will share all of that in real time on Insta

137
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: and then of course in next week's diary pod with

138
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: you as well. So I can't wait to do that.

139
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: And I hope you've been loving the pot Potter roons
