1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello there,

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Potteroony Diary. Little check in. Bosco and

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I went away to Ohai for our joint birthdays. For

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: those of you that don't know, my birthday is the

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: fourteenth September. Bosscoes as the sixteenth and September same year

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: as well, year of the Ox, and so we generally

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of celebrated together. This year, we decided to go

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: away for it, just for a little road trip. We

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: had booked Big Bear. Big Bear is a mountain town. However,

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: there were really scary line fires there and the Airbnb

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: that we had booked got evacuated, so that all got canceled.

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Fun fact, if something like that happens and you have

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: an Airbnb booking it gets you get a full refund

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: seventy two hours later, but we still really wanted to

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: go away somewhere, so we booked oh Hi Ohi, I

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: believe is known for its orange groves. We did not

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: see any orange groves, but we had a great time.

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: We stayed at this place called the rancho In. I'm

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: going to do a full o high travel guide for

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: you the way I did a Joshua Tree one, just

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: because it's such a great place to visit when you're

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: in La. It's only an our hour and a half away.

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: It's considered to be a spiritual vortex who lives there.

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: Jason Siegul lives there and Anne Hathaway didn't see any celebos,

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: did not spotany celebs. Really great vibe though, village feel

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: it almost it feels bougier than Joe to me, I'm

33
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to think what it links back to in Australia.

34
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: It's not a coastal town. It's fifteen minutes from the coast,

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: so it's a mountain town. But it gives like the

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: money of like a really nice bougie coastal town in Australia.

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: It's got that kind of feel, whereas Joshua Tree feels

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: proped to me more hippie, which I love. I love

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: them both for different reasons. Great dinners, great hikes. One

40
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: of the best bookstores I've ever been to, the largest

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: out to bookstore in the world. It's called Bart's Books. Actually,

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: just put a little insta reel up of it. It's

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: a beautiful little town, small rural mountain town, like I said,

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: an hour and a half out of LA. So if

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: you're coming to LA for a month, really good little

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: place to go for like a night or two. We

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: went for two nights. We loved it. Just read by

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: the pool, so flipping great, really nice way to spend

49
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: our birthdays. I on my actual birthday, which was Saturday,

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: the fourteenth September, I was meant to be doing this

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: whole training day on TV presenting here in La, and

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: it got canceled at the eleventh hour, so I ended

53
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: up spending the whole day planning. My mate Daisy had

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: told me that, like astrologically, it was a lucky day

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: to plan for. I wrote this down to plan for

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: like very specific, like not short term goals, but like

57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: acute kind of goals, like, so I planned for all

58
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of Q four essentially. I made all these notes. Yeah,

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: ambitious short term goals, is what Daisy said. So literally,

60
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I planned out all of Q four, which is essentially September,

61
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: end of September, October, November, December, and I made some

62
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: really big plans. I'm also reading a book that I'm

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: going to call it now will probably change my life.

64
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: You know those books, you know those books where you

65
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: read them and you're like, oh, this is gonna this

66
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: is gonna probably have an impact on my life. Already,

67
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm like probably two thirds of the way through. It's

68
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: called Manacled. It's fan fiction Harry Potter. It's illegal to buy.

69
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: You've got a trade for it, or I think you

70
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: can download it free online. I traded for it with

71
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: a friend in Australia before I came out to LA

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: And I don't know why I didn't read it before this,

73
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: and I can't put it down and I love it

74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: and it's making me love Slytherin so much, and of

75
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: course Draco Malfoy. It's fan fiction based on Harry Potter,

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: but it is very dark, dystopian. It's like Handmad's Tail

77
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: meets Harry Potter. There's almost like a thriller horror element

78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: to it as well. From a genre perspective. You still

79
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: got your enemies to love his trope. But it is

80
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: darker March, darker than Iron Flame, Fourth Wing, Akata Way,

81
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: darker way, heavier way, highest stakes, and I'm here for it.

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: I love it anyway. So when I was making my

83
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: goals for Q four, I did some deep diving and

84
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: research on Slytherin house because this is a book I'm

85
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: reading right now, and I know Slytherin gets such a

86
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: bad rap, but like the pros, like the positives of

87
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: a Slytherin are this ambition, resourcefulness, determination, cleverness, leadership, loyalty,

88
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: like very And there's another word that I love that

89
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't use it all. But since reading this boy

90
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: to Unhesitating, I know that I personally waste a lot

91
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: of time in self doubt. And I'm like, image, if

92
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: you didn't hesitate and you just fucking got shit done.

93
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: So anyway that I'm evoking minus Slytherin for Q four.

94
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: My friends and I just made really clear goals for September, October, November, December, October, November.

95
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my dad visiting. Can you believe it?

96
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: Nollie's coming to La and he'll be here for his birthday,

97
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: so we're planning some fun things, like taking him to

98
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Harry Potter World and Universal. I don't know how he

99
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: is on rides. I've got to have a chitty chat

100
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: to him about that, because the rides at Universal take

101
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: no prisoners. They are full on, and I need somebody

102
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: that loves scary rides to come with me. Matt not

103
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: so much, but he also loves Harry Potter so so

104
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: flipping much. So we need a third person. So we

105
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: need it us. How Dad is on rides, I have

106
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: a feeling he's not good. I know my mum is

107
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: flipping amazing on a scary ride or a roller coaster,

108
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: so might have to save it for anyway. So I

109
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: made ambitious short term goals till the end of the year,

110
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: and we're in America. We are locked and loaded in Americana,

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: chasing the dream, auditioning my brains out, trying to get

112
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: the right manager, trying to get the right theatrical agent.

113
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: And it is fucking grawling, if I'm honest, it is tough.

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: It is brutal. It's a lot of bottom feeling like

115
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: you're at the bottom of people's to do list. But

116
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I also don't know that I have enough determination to

117
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: keep giving me in a crack, so why not just

118
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: keep going? So that was kind of like what my

119
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: birthday was. And then Matt said, what jomp me to

120
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: cook you? When I was like, oh, I on pumpkin spie.

121
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: So we went to Trader Joe's and we went on

122
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: an absolute pumpkin spice adventure. I got the gluten freeze

123
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: strews al muffins pumpkin spice, which I will definitely be

124
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: having again. I really want to try the pumpkin spice

125
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: sheet cake with like a frosting. Didn't get that. I

126
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: got the We got a pumpkin spy spider. I haven't

127
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: tried that cider. Sorry, not spider. That reminds me of

128
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the pancake Pilo when I was a youngster. And then

129
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: we got these little mini pretzels. They were amazing. We

130
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: got these JoJo's not as good as an Oreo, but

131
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: like a poor man's version of Oreo, not por man's,

132
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, like not the real deal Oreo. And what

133
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: else did we get? I feel like that was Oh

134
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and mochiese. We got these apple caramel Mochi's great. I'm

135
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: here for the spies, and we got a maple salted

136
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: maple caramel ice cream which we're saving because I have

137
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: a big shoot coming up next week, so I'm on

138
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: the health wagon. And after that shoot, dear friends, I said, Matt,

139
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: can you please make me some gluten free pumpkin spice pancakes?

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: So we're saving the ice cream for that, and he's

141
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: going to make me that the day after my shoot,

142
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: which is really exciting. So that's me. That is me

143
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: and my Pumpkin Spice adventure, loving it. Here for it.

144
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: If you are anything like being like Pumpkin Spice, head

145
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's as soon as you land in La

146
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: anytime between literally the tenth of September and it goes

147
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: until the thirty first of October Halloween, and then they

148
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: flick right on over to Thanksgiving. I believe again, I've

149
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: done none of these things yet. This will be our

150
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: first Halloween which Dad will be here for. It'll be

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: our first Thanksgiving. Dad won't be here for Thanksgiving, so

152
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: it'll be fun fun. I think Dad's gonna be a

153
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: great time. We're looking at a Joshua Tree trip with Dad,

154
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: a big Bear trip with Dad, because we think it'd

155
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: be a bit cooler, so it'd be nice to revisit

156
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: Big Bear, and then we're hoping for maybe New York,

157
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: but New York is so costly, so I need to

158
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: put my thinking cap on. If anyone has any tips

159
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 1: and tricks about traveling to New York. I've heard Expedia

160
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,360

161
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,640
