This podcast is all about celebrating 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: failure because I believe it's a chance for us to learn, 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: grow and face our blind spots. Each week, I'll interview 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: a different guest about their highs as well as their lows, 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: all in a bid to inspire us to fearlessly fail. Hello, 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: and welcome to your I was going to say Palm 8 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Springs pod. It's not a Palm Springs pod. It is 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: a Pioneertown, a Joshua Tree, and a Yucker Valley pod, 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: which is all of that. Those three locations, Pioneertown, Joshua Tree, 11 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: and Yucker Valley are all about forty five minutes out 12 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: of Palm Springs. So last year I came to Palm 13 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Springs with my mates Alex and Ante and we stayed 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: in the harder Palm Springs at my friend Lily's house, 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: and that was very much a Palm Springs trip. I 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: did do a little day trip to Pineertown and I 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: did quite a lot of hiking. I hiked the Lost Oasis, 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: which is this incredible beautiful oasis in the middle of 19 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the desert that was InCred but this has been a 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: very different it feels like very different locations. The energy 21 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: of Palm Springs and the energy of Joshua Tree, i'd say, 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: are super different. The only other time I've been to 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Joshua Tree was about ten years ago with my friends 24 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: Malanie and Yasmin, and we did a photo shoot out 25 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: there because Yasmin has a beautiful jewelry range is in 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: the right word jewelry label called Mason DeJong, and so 27 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: we shot that in Joshua Tree. But it was a 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: day trip, like we drove in from Los Angeles. I remember, 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: we got snacks of old foods. We drove in from 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Los Angelie's, got the pickos, saw a rattlesnake as one does, 31 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: and then came home the same night. So it was 32 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: a big day of driving. That was it, though. That's 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: the only other time I've experienced Joshua Tree. So this 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: guide for you today is a guide of these three locations, Pioneertown, 35 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: Joshua Tree, and Yucker Valley. I have a feeling I'm 36 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: going to keep an eye on the time. I have 37 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: a feeling it'll be a long not a long episode, 38 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: but there might be a part two. Just saying, so 39 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: let me know when you listen to this today. Also, 40 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: if you listen to it, I guess listen to it 41 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: for the first time when you're walking, driving, whatever, But 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: if you listen to it a second time. PS, I'm 43 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: recording this in the truck. In the car, I realize 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the lights on, So one second, I'm just going to 45 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: try and shut this door a bit better. You hear 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: a door slam. Okay, three to two, one oh much 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: much better. I was like, I do not want to 48 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: run the battery out before we have to go all 49 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: the way back to Los Angeles. So basically, I'm sitting here, 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: it's the morning. We're staying in Yucker Valley at a 51 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: beautiful airbnb. I'm about to go for a little walk. 52 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: We've got a few more places we want to visit today. 53 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: But because technically in Australia, it's Monday, and I'll like 54 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: you to have your Monday long form pod, I said 55 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: to Matt. Now I'm recording it while we're away, while 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: I'm looking out at the beautiful desert, very rocky formation. 57 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: We've seen so many animals, so I think I'm gonna 58 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: do this pod for you chronologically. I also sorry cleaning 59 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: my throat there. I also, I don't know if this 60 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: is a good thing or not, but I tracked like 61 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: the cost of it all as well, because I thought, 62 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: if you're in LA, LA is a pretty expensive place 63 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: to visit, you know, you just want to like have 64 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: a little couple of days out of the big smoke 65 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: out of LA. It's doable, and it's a lot out 66 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: here than it is in Los Angeles, especially if you 67 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: want to go out for a meal or a drink 68 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: or anything like that. So I think I'm going to 69 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: go through it chronologically for you, and we have been 70 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: away for This will be our fourth day, So three nights, 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: four days. It is about a three hour drive out 72 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. Depending on where you're based in LA, 73 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: could be three and a half. Like if you're living 74 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: west side of LA, it'd be three and a half. 75 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: We're dropping our friends at Lax Airport tonight, that'll be 76 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: three and a half. But where where based, it takes 77 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: about three hours. And we timed it so LA is 78 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: renowned for terrible traffic, so we made sure we left 79 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: at like ten thirty eleven am. In the mornings, we 80 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: were kind of like not really any in any bad 81 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: pockets of traffic, So that's a good tip. That's the 82 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: first tip I would give you. We're here in the 83 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: height of summer, which is technically the off season because 84 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: the temper are around forty degrees every day, and just 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: two weeks ago a friend of mine, literally that friend 86 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: that I stayed with last time, said that there was 87 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: fifty degree days here, which is pretty unbearable for during 88 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: the day, even if you're in the pool and whatnot. 89 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Even the sun reflecting off the port. It's a lot. 90 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: So I think you can come anytime of the year. 91 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: Having now come. Last year, I came in May. Now 92 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: we're here in what is it, the end of July, 93 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: I think you can come in the heart of the summer. 94 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: You've just got to make sure wherever you stay has 95 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: air con. If it doesn't have AC it's going to 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: be really hard to sleep at nighttime. They're my hot 97 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: these are my housekeeping tips. So make sure if you're 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: driving from LA you do it against the traffic. Also, 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: there is a Palm Springs Airport out here, so we 100 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: picked our mates up that flew in from SF San 101 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: fram and they flew into Palm Springs Airport. That's a 102 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: great idea because the traffic getting into Palm Springs Airport 103 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: is like a one out of ten versus LAX, which 104 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: is like a mazillion out of ten, and it's very 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: anxiety inducing getting in and out of Lax. So that's 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: your housekeeping. Let's talk the locations and get your pens 107 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: and papers out because this will be like a guide 108 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: of things to do. So remember last time I said, 109 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: I said in Palm Springs, So I've got a whole 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: Palm Springs episode would have come out in May last year, 111 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: or it had been my diaries. At the very least 112 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the places I went to there didn't go anywhere near 113 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: them this time. Like literally we drove straight to Yucker Valley, 114 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: which is where Pioneer Town. So this is like Pineertown 115 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: is like a five minute drive from Yucker Valley. So 116 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: there's this strip of road or highway and it's called 117 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: twenty nine Palms Highway. Basically everything runs off that as 118 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: far as Pioneertown Yucker Valley. That's like the main dra 119 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: There's also a Yuka Valley airport. I don't I've not been, 120 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: but just interesting to know. And then of course Joshua Tree. 121 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: So this twenty nine Palms is kind of like for 122 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: the people that live here. That's where the grocery stores are, 123 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: that's where coffee shops are. If you're into vintage shopping 124 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: like Boss and Aya, that's where a lot of that 125 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: stuff is. And it's a long highway, so you can 126 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: be in the Pioneertown end of twenty nine Palms Highway, 127 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: the Joshua Tree area, or the Yucker Valley area. I'm 128 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: saying all this right because it's kind of confusing, but 129 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: actually it's not. When you're here, and it's all close, 130 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: Like you can get to this area no matter where 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: you're staying, within like a five to ten minute drive. 132 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: So first things, first day one Pioneertown got there in 133 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: the heat of the day, Matt was like, oh my god, 134 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: it's so hot, and it was it was like, I 135 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: think it was thirty eight degrees middle of the day. 136 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: We started by going to this famous sour dough bakery 137 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: in Yakavalley called Lunar Bakery. Matt got a cheese scone 138 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: that they're really famous for. They're also really famous for 139 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: making for Carture sandwiches of their homemade for Carture bread, 140 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: and then I got always shared a cinnamon scroll and 141 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: we just had a coffee because we were like we'd 142 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: had a long drive all that kind of thing. Drip 143 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: coffee is massive in America, especially out here. Nearly all 144 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: your airbnbs that you'll stay out or have drip coffee 145 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: like a driple later. I think it's kind of out 146 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: to be honest. I love it. Okay, went to Lunar 147 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Bakery and then we thought, well, let's have a little 148 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: squizz at all these incredible shops and vintage shopping and 149 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: it was so fun. So it's all within like a 150 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: little pocket of Let me look Lunar Bakery up on 151 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: my I've got a map here. I've got two maps 152 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: going on right now. But basically, yeah, Lunar Bakery is 153 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: number twelve on my map. Hear me like figuring on 154 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: this A yes, And so that's in that Yucker Valley 155 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: part of twenty nine Palms and literally across the road 156 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: from Luna Bakery, you've got the Mahave Trading Post. Amazing 157 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: great gift shop if you want to take a little 158 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: knickknack home. I bought. We went back to Mahave Posts 159 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: Trading Post the next day. Matt Gock Cowbo boots from there, 160 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: they've got a vintage section. We both got vintage Cowboys shirts. 161 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: What else did I get there? I got Pioneertown mug 162 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: I really wanted, and a bandanner. I love tying bandanas 163 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: around my bags, like even designer bags.

They 258 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: were five dollars each so cheap, and then we just 259 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: walked back to where were staying, which was the Pioneertown Motel, 260 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: which i'd seen last time i'd visited, and I was like, 261 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I always wanted to stay here. Great, 262 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: very Western styles, pretty achievable, like price wise. So that 263 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: was two thirty five for the night. Obviously they're going 264 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: to add attacks to that as well, so it worked 265 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: out like two fifty for the night American. So that 266 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: felt for the experience and everything. They were so lovely. 267 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: They have a little canteen as part of it, so 268 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: every morning you get your fresh coffee and they do 269 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: bottled water for you. So nice. Loved it. I would 270 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: stay there again in a heartbeat. I just love the 271 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: whole esthetic of it, and I love Pineer Town. Next time, 272 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I hike more because there's 273 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: beautiful hikes, like five minutes out of Pioneer Town. We 274 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: haven't hiked it all this trip, other than I go 275 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: for my little morning strolls around where we live. It 276 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: is high summer and therefore high rattlesnake season. And that's 277 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: not me being like dramatic. I've seen four rattlesnakes in 278 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the time that I've been in Los Angeles, two of 279 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: which have been last time I did that hike in 280 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: Palm Springs. Those hikes I did just out of Palm Springs, 281 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: And so I guess what I'm trying to say is like, 282 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: don't really want to be a bit more rattlesnake, you know, 283 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: But I think at different times of the year it'd 284 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: be really great to hike. And I've loved hiking out here, 285 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: and that's why I want to do a part two, 286 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: because I do know that this is so famous for 287 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: hiking and so beautiful for hiking, and I did do, like, honestly, 288 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: some of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done last year. 289 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: But to so for today though, let's focus on Pioneertown. 290 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: It's incredible. If you want to get a vibe for 291 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: what it looks like, it's very Western. Like I said, 292 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: they've shot movies there. There's actually a film museum totally free. 293 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: You go through it and it talks about it and 294 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: like all the different films shot there. I obviously love 295 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: it being an actor and just being like, oh my god, 296 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: this is I just love it. I think my dad 297 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: would love it. It's just such a cool vibe and my 298 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: mom would love it too. Actually, but my mom wrote 299 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: to me last night because we usually shut on the phone, 300 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: but because I've been away, she's like, let's switch to email, 301 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: and the subject line was Howdy Cowdy. She's like, the 302 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: cowgirl really suits you. But mom loves her. Mom loves 303 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: that kind of like West Deny vibe as well. We're 304 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: both quite similar like that. Okay, So Pineertown ten out 305 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: of ten, highly recommend. What's that meme going around? I'll 306 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: take forty, love it fort I'll take fourteen of them. 307 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen that meme. So good 308 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: of their wife. She cooks in sweet potato like pancakes. 309 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't even know what's in them. Give me fourty. 310 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: I'll have fourteen of them. So Pineertown, I love you. 311 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: Gotta love Western stuff though, that's all I would say. 312 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: It's so Western, it's amazing. It feels otherworldly. Love love love, 313 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: love love, And next time I want to suck some 314 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: of the hikes there. Okay, next day we checked out. 315 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: In the morning, we went to Red Dog Saloon for 316 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: bracky and had breakfast burrito there and tacos and tato tots. 317 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness amazing. I would say Red Dog Saloon's 318 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: a great place to go if you don't want to 319 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: spend a bomb too. It's March cheat like Pappy and 320 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: Harriet's cost us one hundred and fifty for dinner, the drinks, everything, 321 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: which is pretty good for Americana and Red Dogs alone. 322 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: Lunch was thirty five. And that's including all your taxes 323 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: and tips. You tipped twenty percent here all over America 324 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: as far as I'm aware, So highly recommend. Then Boss 325 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, our friends didn't get into ones. 326 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: We're like, let's have a little bit more vintage shopping. 327 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: So we went back to that Mahabi Trading post. That's 328 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: when we bought Matt's cowboy boots, which I've already worn. 329 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: What else did I get? What does it say our 330 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: Red Dog thirty five was lunch because I wrote down 331 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm fascinated to see how expensive it is. 332 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: And then we basically went in. Palm Springs is a 333 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: Trader Joe's. So the grocery stores and stuff out here, 334 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: I think they're still totally fine, but just in case 335 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: you don't know, like where they are or whatever, like 336 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: traded Joe's fail safe. So when we picked our friends 337 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: up from the out what, we went to Trader Joe's. 338 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: We just got like Staples. Matt made dinner. That night, 339 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: we checked into this insane Airbnb. I've tagged it all 340 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: over Instagram. I believe the Insta page is somewhere underscored. 341 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: Joshua Tree. They have a couple of locations where in 342 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: I think it's called the Black Cactus House. Beautiful has 343 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: an infinity pool. You're looking over Yaka desert, Like we're 344 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: literally in Joshua Tree. Like it's insane, so so so beautiful. 345 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: We've watched the sunset here both nights and it's just 346 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: like incredible. Loved it. So we checked in Boss made 347 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: dinner and we just kind of like enjoyed the pool, 348 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: the hot tarb like just really soaked up this location 349 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: that first night. And then the second day the next 350 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: day we were like, let's do smith woring. So we 351 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: went down back down to that highway twenty nine Palms Highway, 352 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: and we went did a little bit of shopping. So 353 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: this is more Joshua Tree. So that's this is that 354 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: same highway, but it's the main drag of Joshua Tree 355 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: as opposed to Yucker Valley. So we went to don't 356 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: mind Me with all my little list. It's called The Station. 357 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a very famous kind of like 358 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: how do I describe it?

We went to Son 363 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: of the Desert, which is a beautiful like gift shop. 364 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: I also across the road from that was Joshua Tree 365 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: Trading Post.

We got this like super calming mushroom that 382 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: none of us had tried before, so it's not magic. 383 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: These are all like legal like medicinal mushrooms, really nice. 384 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: So we had them chilled by the pool and just 385 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: like had a really mallowavo. And then we went out 386 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: for dinner to this place called the Tiny Pony. So 387 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: we were tossing up between the Tiny Pony and the 388 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: Copper Room. The Copper Room is meant to be super fancy. 389 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: They're famous for their nineteen fifty seven of Martini, which 390 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: sounds incredible, and apparently you go there for sunset because 391 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: it's all glass and you watch a sunset and it's 392 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: beautiful and a bit more fancy bougie, and we thought, oh, 393 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: the sunset is just so stunning here. We want to 394 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: soak up that sunset here. So we watch our sunset here. 395 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: And we heard that the Tiny Pony Tavern has incredible foods. 396 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: We went to the Tiny Pony Tavern and they're famous 397 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: for a pickle teeny, so instead of olive Brian pickle 398 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: juice in a martini, I got that Arid. Adam got 399 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: that and it was really good, so I got to 400 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: pick on martini. Matt got a regular gin martini. A 401 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: friend Nina got this thing called a painkiller, which is 402 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: a type of like slushy cocktail. And then we just 403 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: got that the food was super Americana. I got chicken 404 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: sandwich was really a chicken burger. We all shared nacho's. 405 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: Matt got a burger, Adam got prawn tacos, and Nina 406 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: got like this healthy grain bowl. I was like, oh, 407 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: we're here. I'm soaking up all the Americana funfair. And 408 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: then after that we went we found a supermarket and 409 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: because Boss and I had never had smalls before, so 410 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: a friend Nina introduced us to the initiated us into Smores, 411 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: which is like a gram cracker. You get a marshmallow, 412 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: you toast over the fire and then you put its 413 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: very specific chocolate. It's like a little piece of Hershey's chocolate. 414 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: And then you put another gram cracker and then you 415 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: let you hold it for a second, you let the 416 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: marshmallow melt the chocolate. Oh my god, I'm salivating thinking 417 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: about it. And then it's like a sandwich, like sweet 418 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: treat sandwich. So we had a couple of them by 419 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: the fire last night, and then we thought, let's just 420 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: stargaze because the stars out here are insane, like so 421 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: so incredible. So we stargazed and we put the fire off, 422 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: turned all the lights off in the house and the pool, 423 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: and just like watched it and there was thousands upon 424 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: thousands upon thousands. I've never seen more stars in my life. 425 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: I think I could see the Milky Way. And we 426 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: were all like, is that the Milky Way like a 427 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: thicker conglomerate of like loads of tiny stars. Next minute, 428 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: shooting star. So Matt Nina to see a shooting star, 429 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I want to see a shooting star. 430 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: Within five minutes, we were all seeing shooting stars. Like 431 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: it must just be because the stars are so densey, 432 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: there are so many stars that you just can see them. 433 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: No joke, I'm talking over the space of an hour 434 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: between us all because they're really quick, shooting stars between 435 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: us all, we would have seen thirty shooting stars. It 436 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: was wild, so incredible. I would say one of the highlights. 437 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: I would say Pioneertown for me, huge highlight because I 438 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: just love Westerns so much, but what a highlight for 439 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: me personally?

So yeah, I would just 443 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: like I cannot highly recommend. And then I've just been 444 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: like a nonbatuate after this, strolling the local streets because 445 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: it's just like so beautiful and it's such a different 446 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: terrain to anything in Australia. It's like rocky desert and 447 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: like even when we were driving mats like, oh my god, 448 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: there's just sand on the side of the highway, like 449 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: it is proper, proper desert, and like obviously there's Joshua 450 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: trees everywhere.

And like I said, I 456 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: think there needs to be a part two because I've 457 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: basically just given you like what we've done essentially. But 458 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: that is like the tip of the iceberg. As far 459 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: as the length of time and spending time out here, 460 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: you could do anywhere from three nights to five nights. 461 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: I would say to really kind of like relax, and 462 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: so like I've still been doing emails and not work emails. 463 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: I did not bring the yoga laptop with me at all, 464 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: but just like my own like loler emails and auditions 465 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So funny, there's a saying in Olave 466 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: with actors, the moment you go on holiday, you get 467 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: an audition. We literally got on the highway to come 468 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: here and an audition came through Wild Okay.

The bake goods and sandwiches are 494 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: off the charts, true, but it's also a great spot 495 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: for a simple black coffee on their outdoor patio.

This unique this unique space is 547 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: part of a diner, part of a bar, and part 548 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: of a skating rink. If you're into roadhouse vibe with 549 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: a twist.

That's where 558 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: Postmonlone film one of his most recent video clips. It's 559 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: proper saloon vibes inside. We just went in because it 560 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: looks so cool and I'm obsessed with Western stuff. But 561 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: it was a vibe. It was so fun, so cute 562 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: and pretty busy actually, but again didn't have to wait 563 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: literally for more than a minute. They sat as straight 564 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: away and Matt Nan got beers and happy days. I 565 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: quickly wanted to talk about their wildlife I've seen on 566 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: this trip, because you know, I love a bit of wildlife. 567 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: Saw a coyote driving home last night. It was just 568 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: running across the road. So I've seen heaps is little 569 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: like mini I don't know if they're gophers or mini 570 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: squirrel things or like Australians would say chipmunks, but I'm 571 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: prettyure they're squirrels. But it's like little. It's like more 572 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: sandy color than the ones you see in lane and 573 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: like half the size. What else have I seen? Loads 574 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: of crows or ravens. I don't I think they're crows 575 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: because I've seen a lot of crows in gift shops here, loads, 576 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: and they will just like sit ominously. But I think 577 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: they're good luck and super super smart. What other animals 578 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: have I seen. I'm obviously always on lookout for a rattler, 579 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: loads of lizards, like little ones like gek are we ones. 580 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: And then there's these funny little birds here that have 581 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: these little crowns on them like little hats, so cute. 582 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: They they travel in little packs and they come and 583 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: visit us at the where we're staying. And then obviously, 584 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: like I know this isn't an animal, but the star 585 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: gazing last night off the charts, like you have to 586 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: do at least to night here so you can star 587 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: gaze like that is the only other place I've seen 588 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: stars anything like it, and obviously like living Byron, we 589 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: see beautiful stars as well. But is Queenstown when I've 590 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: said that health retreat a roha, I'm totally butchering the name. 591 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: But even this was like thousands upon thousands upon thousands 592 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: of stars. And then Matt was like, you know these 593 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: stars we're looking at this these existed like five million 594 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: years ago or something, is like, and so what we're seeing, 595 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: that's how long it takes for light traveled earth. What 596 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: we're seeing might not exist. As we've got a full 597 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna say astrology lesson, but that's 598 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: the wrong word, you know what I mean. So that 599 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: has been our trip. We've still got another full day here, 600 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: so I really do think I need to give you 601 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: a part two, and I do want to highlight the 602 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: hikes a bit more because they I did last trip. 603 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: But I I just wanted to make sure that in 604 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: this pod that you're getting at real time. You're literally 605 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: getting at real time. We drive and drop our friends 606 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: at the airport and then Matt's uploading this, so it'll 607 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: be after release on a Monday as opposed to a 608 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: morning release. So how exciting. I hope you loved this. 609 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: I hope it gave you some insight. My big takeaways. 610 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: I definitely spend anywhere between. I would say three and 611 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: five nights, but at least a night so you can stargaze. 612 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 1: I would say visit pineer Town. It's a must, even 613 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: if you're not into films and stuff. It's just so 614 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: cool to go to a western town. It's like such 615 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: a cool little vibe. And what would the other one be. 616 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: I would say, like, go to Pappy and Harriet's for 617 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: like the live music vibe because we got to see 618 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: like bands warm up and then when we were walking later, ah, 619 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: and I saw Rabbits. That's the other thing I saw 620 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: when were in Piney Town. When we were walking later, 621 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: we would see the band walking and be like, what 622 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: did you think about warm Up? It was cool. So 623 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: Pappy and Harriet's stargazing, vintage shopping if you're into it, 624 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 1: is a must here. And it's so much cheaper than 625 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: La and Pineytown. I love Piney Town.
