Speaker 2: welcome to your Diary episode. For people that are new, welcome.

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Basically on Monday, as we do an interview episode called

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Fearlessly Failing when we talk to really incredible people about

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: their highs, but I'll often ask sometimes about their struggles

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: as well, hence the name fearlessly Failing. And then the

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Friday episode is more of a diary episode of whatever

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: I've been doing in my life depending on where I

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: am in the Worldrently, I'm in beautiful Los Angeles and

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: chasing my dreams of being an aspiring TV host and actor.

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: Here I start acting school on the weekend, so I'll

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: be able to update you all about that next week.

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 2: The premise of this is, yeah, just a little diary

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: check in. I also do a book review the wonderful

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: guest we had on the podcast Monday, Kemy has got

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: a book out, and so I've read her book this

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: week so that I can review it for you this week,

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: and then I kind of just share, like all the

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: things I've been doing in LA. We've been doing some

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: food things, I've been road testing, some healthy things. Can

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: hear the packets I've saved and receipts or dropping them,

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: and some not so healthy things that I've done this

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: week in the past week as well. So I think

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to kick off with I went to my

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: first laundry mat in LA. So you need quarters for that,

32
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: so like you had some cash and I was able

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: to get some quarters and then you kind of like

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: put it's like it's a big hangout. Would have been

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: like I want to say, between thirty and fifty washing

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: machines and then probably thirty or so dry as and

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: it's like a hangout. So I went did all my laundry.

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Because basically this is probably too much information, but my

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: app I keep as an Australian app on my phone,

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: I bet in American in app to use to use

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: the laundry at the place I was staying at in

42
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: Santa Monica. So I was like, okay, how do I

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: fix this without switching my apps over? So I went

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: down to a laundryman and did it old school way

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: with quarters and it was pumping, pumping, like and I

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: met some great people. And Americans are super chatty and

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I They're very direct and they know they're super observant Americans.

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: And I had a top on that I picked up

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: at a vintage store last time I was here a

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: vintage market. It was an Alabama football team top and

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, you're from Alabama and I'm like, actually no,

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: I just really like the top and they're like, but

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: you know it, it's a great team, right, like they're

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: an amazing foot polity. I'm like, yes, yes, I do, yes,

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: And then we get chatting and then they figure out

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: I'm from Australia and it's a lot of fun.

57
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: Okay.

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: So laundrymat tick done, picked my car up, tick done.

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Driving. I am in the phase.

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: Of where I just forced myself to drive every day,

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: Like I just go somewhere and I'm like, go do

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: it now, get it done. So I just like take

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: myself on little adventures each day.

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: I moved house.

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: I'm back into the og place that I was in

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: last time I was here, which is really comforting and

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: feels so nice to be here. And I really love

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: this neighborhood. Oh, I've had some food experiences, so let's

69
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: start with the treat, and that is in and out.

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: So I went in and out and I got this

71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: is my favorite order.

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: So I got a regular cheeseburger. PS.

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: I know, this is like glutendairy and all the sugar

74
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: and all the things that upset my stomach.

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: I totally paid for it later that night.

76
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: But I got a regular cheeseburger with onion delicimo, and

77
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: I got animal fries. So that's got all that like

78
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: really cool saucy stuff, and it's like got a Thousandy

79
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Island dressing, melted cheese, chopped donge in, and then I

80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: put ketchup. I put tomato sauce as well. I don't

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: know if that's sacrilegious. And then a strawberry thick shake.

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: I figured out that is like my favorite, like in

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: and out combo. I've tried hikeshack. I still think in

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: and out winds. I've tried Chick fil a. I still

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: think in and out winds. I haven't tried Chipotle, which

86
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: is more like Mexicana vibes and bowls, but I still think.

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: It an out would win. So I've done.

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: I've had my I've had my in and out splitch.

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: I knew i'd have to get out of my system.

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: But I've also had some really healthy experiences. I've went

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: to one of my favorite places to go to salads,

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: go for salads. It's called All Time, and I got

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: the good I think it's the good ass salad. It's

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: either the good ass salad or the good ass salad

95
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: ables that's ass, right anyway, I got that with salmon,

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: and my friend Sam got the nissoir salad with it

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: looks so good.

98
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I've had that.

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: Last mile was here and it's like got beautiful chat

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: potatoes and it's got green olives and then it's got

101
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: fresh tuna and tomato and it's just really really really

102
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: yummy and nourishing. I know, I've been to heaps of

103
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: other places. Maybe I haven't been out.

104
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Oh.

105
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: I went to an event that was catered and I

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: got to eat like literally a sneaky little cookie, but

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: it was the size of it, like small dinner plate,

108
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: like a breadplate that was the size of the cookie

109
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: and just covered in cinnamon sugar. It was delicious, but

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: I felt quite sick after again the dairy and the gluten.

111
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: But other than those experiences, I'm pretty much on health

112
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: vibes and I've been able to find some healthy things.

113
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: So I found this brand of chocolate that is sweetened

114
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: with stevia or extract and the brand is called Joy

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: And this was like a peanut butter in the middle

116
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: of chocolate kind of vibes. They sweetened with stevia, and

117
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: I think there's some marethe retold here too, though. Chicken

118
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: root fib I'm noticing there's a lot of like uto

119
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 2: choke firebar chicken root fiber in American things. Total sugar zero,

120
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: so no sugars at all, and then six grams of firebar.

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: So that's how getting there.

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: It says no artificial sweetness, no preservatives, no artificial flavors,

123
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: no colors added. The brand is called Joy Bites. Really cute,

124
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: fair trade. I thought that was like a healthy alternative

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: if you wanted to get like your sugar fix.

126
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: That's the brand.

127
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: I also went to Target, my favorite one on San

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. It's like the holy grail

129
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: of all the targets. And I had to get a

130
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: yoga mat because I've joined yogs today and I got

131
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: that brand. Is it like guyam or GM And I

132
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: was thirty nine bucks for a yoga mat, which is

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: that's a really cool brand of yoga mats. I think

134
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 2: they're like one hundred dollars in Australia. I tried a

135
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: new protein bar that was really clean. So this one

136
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: is Keto. It's key lime and coconut plant based Keto bar.

137
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: Only a few ingredients. All that's in it is almond, cacao, butter, coconut, lime, oil,

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: Jerusalem artichoke, fiber, monk, fruit and salt. So what's super clean,

139
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: no sugars. It was really really yummy. It was probably

140
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: a little bit higher and cow. It was two fifty

141
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: and only three games of protein, so it definitely was

142
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more Keto vibes with you know, the

143
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: fat and whatnot.

144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: But the brand is.

145
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: Balitcha Balichica b e l ic h Ka, key lime

146
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: and coconut.

147
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: I liked it.

148
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: I would totally get that again. Oh I've got an

149
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: air one receipt here. What did I get from are One.

150
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So I've got Boss his favorite sleep tonic

151
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: that you can only get here. So it's got like passion,

152
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: flower Hops Valerian and it's got CBD. And I got

153
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: a really thing that I'm so excited about. It's called

154
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: NAD plus Gold. So as you know, I'm a massive

155
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: David Sinclair and he talks about having NAD boosters in

156
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: your world and NMN is one of them, and you

157
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: can't get in Australia.

158
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: And I got it. So today was the first day

159
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: I tried it. You have two.

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Pumps sublingually under your tongue in the morning, first thing

161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: on an empty stomach. So today was day one of that.

162
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: I just found my in and out burger order. So

163
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: it was twelve bucks for a cheeseburger with grilled onion,

164
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: one animal frye and a strawberry shake. I got a

165
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: large strawberry shaked just so if were I so good,

166
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep that receipt for a memory. Went

167
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: to a car wash, got the car detailed and all cleaned.

168
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: I forgot that it was a service and that you

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 2: have to tip, so you paid. It was like one

170
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: hundred review bucks and then I was like, shit, I've

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: got a tip. Oh some more protein bars. So I've

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: been on the hunt for healthy protein bars, as you know,

173
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: because smart bars are my fave that I get in Australia,

174
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: you can't get to hear those. So I found a

175
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: plant based protein bar by that bar Bells brand, which

176
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: is really yummy. The thing that's so good about this

177
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: is there's no sugar and there's fifteen grams of protein.

178
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: I think there's twenty and then non animal ones.

179
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: But it does have natural and artificial flavorings that's a

180
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: little bit frustrating. Garden of Life Organic Fit plant based bar,

181
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: thirteen grams of prebotic fire bar, one gram of sugar,

182
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: fourteen grams of protein. It was okay, it wasn't Wausers,

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: but it was again nice, a plant based So that

184
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: brand was called Garden of Life. This is my favorite

185
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: healthy chocolate i've found. So the brand is Lily's. I've

186
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: talked to you about it before. Oh yeah, I've got

187
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: two different I've tried two. I've also tried the salted

188
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: caramel one not that good, and I tried the hazelnut

189
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: butter filled one. It's thin, acal sweet with Stevia like

190
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: no sugar in it. It's a really good alternative if

191
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: you're trying to stay healthy yet no sugar at all.

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: Haze on.

193
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: That one wasn't that good, So.

194
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: Bear with me. I think you've got if you get

195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: do it. This is the one to get. Lily's less

196
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: sugar sweet live cookies and cream white chocolate style Stevie Sween.

197
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: That is the winner.

198
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: So in the whole block there is three twenty cows

199
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: and there is zero sugar. It's just diet sixty one

200
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: per cent dietary fibus. They're using fiber yes sunfire, Lecathon

201
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: chicory root. Fiber is like the bulka, but it does

202
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: have a wreath retol, which you know if you're sensitive

203
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: to fructose and stuff.

204
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's going to go through you. I'd say.

205
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Did I say I.

206
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: Went to the movies last time I beat you? I

207
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: think so. I've got my movie stubs here unless I

208
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: was meant to keep them. Holy Matt, did I talk

209
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: to you about going to the movies. I don't think

210
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: I did. So I went to movies in Santa Monica.

211
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: We saw Lost World with Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullick and

212
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Channing Tatum. Cinemas are a bit different to back home.

213
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: There is security, which is kind of scary. So it

214
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: took me about five minutes to calm down because you've

215
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: probably heard that there are shootings in America. Has been

216
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: shootings in America at cinemas, so that was a little

217
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: bit hairy for just five minutes until you calm down.

218
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 2: But they're really big seats and it's just like kind

219
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: of self served with the drinks and stuff, which is

220
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: really interesting. You buy the cup and then you go

221
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: fill it up, which feels a bit nineties. In Australia

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: we used to do that. Or maybe I just haven't

223
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: been to the right cinemas because in Barron there's only

224
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: one cinema and it's like old school palace, so you

225
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: don't get to do that. The movie was funny, it

226
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: was lighthearted. It was Hawaii vibes, so it was easy

227
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: to watch. It was a bit of fun. I then ps,

228
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: so that was the movie thing. I just found another thing.

229
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: I got a green juice at air one called Hardcore

230
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Greens Ingredients organic celery, organic cucumber, organic colored greens, organic

231
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: Swiss child, organic parsley, organic ginger, really good. Love it.

232
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: Love that for me. I think that's all the food stuff.

233
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: I've just been buying stuff at Traded Joe's and kind

234
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: of like trying to stay like uber healse vibe healthy vibes.

235
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: It's been really nice to be back in the Los

236
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Veelers home because all my old stuffs, Yeah, I forgot

237
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: that I'd left like a pillow here, and my favorite

238
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: washing detergent and my favorite showerwash, like all that.

239
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Kind of stuff.

240
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: So that was really nice to kind of come back

241
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: to that kind of like comfort, if that makes sense.

242
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: I also went to a really exciting event on the

243
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: weekend at Paramount Studios.

244
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: It was run by Deadline Hollywood.

245
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: So they're like an entertainment website or publication, and it's

246
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: not gossipy. It's more like, you know, Sam Elliott starring

247
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: in eighteen eighty eight or Bradley Cooper starring writing directing

248
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: a Star is Born, Like it's that kind of stuff.

249
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: It's like industry news, if that makes sense. So being

250
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: an actor and being a member of this like online portal,

251
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: I was able to get free tickets to go to

252
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: this event. It's called Deadline Contenders. It's the television segment

253
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: it's over two days. They did say, however, when I

254
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: booked and registered, it was like, we can't guarantee you entry.

255
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: Union members get first first entry. So that means like

256
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: if you're a SAG member or whatnot, which I'm not.

257
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't have any credits. I can't be a SAG member.

258
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm working on it though, guys, I'm working on it.

259
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: So you know, we rock up. So the event inside

260
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: to late thirty. We got there at seven, you know,

261
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: to try and make sure we got a spot. We

262
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: didn't get in. We waited until about eight forty and

263
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: they were like, nah, nah, you're not getting in.

264
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: So that was a bit of a bummer.

265
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: But they said come back at five am the next

266
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: day and it was still the same start time, like

267
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: eight thirty nine, and so I was like, do I

268
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: do it?

269
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: Do I do it? And I had to do it.

270
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: You have to a COVID test and pay for it

271
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: and all that unless you've got health insurance here, in

272
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: which case it gets like covered. So I was like,

273
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: stuff that I've done the COVID test, I've paid for it.

274
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: And we got there at five am on the Sunday

275
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: and we got in, which was really exciting. It was

276
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: so much fun. Basically, you're sitting in the massive Paramount

277
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: Theater on the Paramount Lot, live in the Dream, and

278
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: it's a massive cinema, so the capacity is five hundred

279
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: and twenty, so much bigger than a cinema in Australia.

280
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: I think a capacity there is like one hundred and

281
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: you're just watching like absolute greats.

282
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: Like who did I see?

283
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: I saw Seth Myers, who's got his own late night

284
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: talk show, Late Night with Seth Myers, go up. I

285
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: saw Sydney Sweeney the White Lotus Cast. I saw John

286
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: c Riley go up the show he's on Winning Time,

287
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty looks amazing.

288
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Who else did I say?

289
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Well? Not a Ryder went up from Stranger Things. The

290
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: Stranger Things creator, writer, director, and EPs were there as well.

291
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: I saw Courtney Costs go up for Veil.

292
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: Helen Hunt was there for Blind Spotting. Oh then this

293
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: is my favorite, one of my favorites. So there's a

294
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: show called eighteen eighty three, which is like the spin

295
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: off of Yellowstone. It's actually this world existed before Yellowstone,

296
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure it's the same family.

297
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I really want to see it.

298
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: So the actors that came up for that was Tim McGraw,

299
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: Tim McGrath, Tim McGraw, which I loved him in Country Strong,

300
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: that movie with Gwyneth Paltrow, Faith Hell. I think their

301
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: husband and wife Isabelle may Lemnica Garrett and Sam Elliott.

302
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: I love Sam Elliott, he has one at him and

303
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: Hugo Weaving have my favorite voices. He's got an amazing voice.

304
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: And then after lunch got to see Sir Patrick Stewart

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: from Star Trek Picard and I hope I'm saying that right,

306
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: So that's his character. I've never seen any Star Treks,

307
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: don't judge me or Star Wars, but he was incredible.

308
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I love, love love him. So the event.

309
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: Literally was like a twelve hour each day event and

310
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: it was amazing.

311
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: Full on everything was catered for. That was where I

312
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: was saying.

313
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: The thing that I was catered out was all Americana food,

314
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: which is really funny because it was like, yeah, stinkerdoodles

315
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: like cookies, so stink cinnamon sugar cookies basically the size

316
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: of a bread side plate. Very funny. And then they

317
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: gave us this little community goodie bag that I want

318
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: to save an open view. I think it's just going

319
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: to be a mask at hands Sanny, so I want

320
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: to save and open it for you. We also got

321
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: Paramount Cookies, which is amazing. Here we go, that's the Velcrow.

322
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: Oh this is cute. So yeah, in here is a

323
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: mask and like little instant sachets of hand sanitizer. Nice

324
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: and then taw let's oh that's cute anyway, So there

325
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: you go. That was in the bag. I did save

326
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: that to open with you. It's probably been uneventful and

327
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: it's all branded Deadline, which is kind of cute too.

328
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: So that was a lot of fun, loads of fun.

329
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: I took my mate Sam, who's a legend. I've had

330
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: him on the podcast before, on the Saturday when we

331
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: didn't get in and I dropped him home and he

332
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: we went for a coffee and.

333
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: He shouted me a burrito. Oh my goodness.

334
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: It was called the Angelino burrito from a coffee place

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: in West Hollywood called the Commentsary. I think coffee was amazing.

336
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: I got a hot oat laste. I'm going back to

337
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: just like black coffees and cold brews now because it

338
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: he's starting to heat up. But that day I was

339
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 2: like I just it was the Morning Star. I was like,

340
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: I want to hot oat laste anyway, and there, oh

341
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: my goodness, the burrito, like the outside of it that

342
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: obviously put cheese on the outside before they'd squshed it.

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: There was like smashed abba in their SPADs, bacon, Oh

344
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: my goodness, so good. And then it arrives in a

345
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: little box of like corn chips and salsa as well.

346
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: The Americans don't do anything in halves. It was very

347
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: very very very good and very very very yum oh.

348
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Just checking that I haven't missed anything on my list.

349
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: The Paramount thing was also and it made me really

350
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: excited to like I was literally staying there with like

351
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: literally five hundred and twenty other actors, so it was

352
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 2: kind of nice to.

353
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Be amongst that energy.

354
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: I just recorded it in an audition for a voiceover commercial

355
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: right before I hit record on this, so I'm going

356
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: to go and submit it now and you never know

357
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: my luck. I just really want to get you know,

358
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: a few wins on the board and really focus on

359
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: getting some auditions, getting managers and whatnot. So I'm still

360
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: learning how to use all the online portals here for actors.

361
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: We've got them in Australia as well, but I've got

362
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 2: an Australian acting agent and so they kind of like

363
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: drive that for me, whereas here I'm like solo. So

364
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: I'm trying to drive it all myself, which is exciting

365
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: but also a little bit daunting. But yes, I just

366
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: recorded an audition for a commercial shot here that they

367
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: wanted a nausey accent, so I thought, well, well, I

368
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: better put it up, I better submit it. So that's

369
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: what I'm about to do right now. By the time

370
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: i talk to you next time, I will have started

371
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: improv school. I'll let you know how it is. I'm

372
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: nervous about that, but kind of excited as well. And

373
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: there's something else I feel like I will have done.

374
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to fight.

375
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: Not that anyone really cares about this, but if you

376
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: do end up moving over here, I'm wanted to start

377
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: organizing my banking staff and credit cards. I'm going to

378
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: do that over in the next couple of days, and

379
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: then I've got to start doing all American taxx too.

380
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: So that's like they're not cool stuff about being a

381
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: permanent resident in America and learning all of that more.

382
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's right brain isn't it that more analytical stuff,

383
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of focusing.

384
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: On all of that as well.

385
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's me Gangles and coming to you from La.

386
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: I've got something some exciting, cool things that we'll be

387
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: doing here on the pod as well. I've trying to

388
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: secure some really cool love how I'm calling everything cool

389
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: and exciting. But guests over here also, of course, please

390
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: submit anyone to me that you think might be a

391
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: good fit. People have been submitting like a level actors

392
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, sure, if you know how to

393
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: get them, sure, I would love to get them on

394
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: the pod. But it's yeah, you've got to get through

395
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: a lot of hoops to get the big guns on

396
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 2: the potto, which you know, of course I'll try and

397
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: do as well.

398
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: All right, So that's me over now.

399
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh and Monday's episode, pretty awesome person Ali's Black is

400
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: on the pod. So if you've watched Byron Bays, he's

401
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: a legend. He's like the super down to earth, humble

402
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: surf surfer, earthy, also extremely good looking guy. So he's

403
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: on the podcast on Monday. He's a legend. He's super

404
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: close with the bossa Cheni and so we've been mates

405
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 2: for a few years now, and.

406
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: He's just a grounded person.

407
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: We talk about his passion for boxing, we talk about surfing,

408
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: we talk about adventure. Of course, we touched on Byron Bays.

409
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: This was recorded before Byron Bays the Netflix show actually aired, though,

410
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: so he wasn't able to share loads about Byron Bays.

411
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: But I'm pumpedabbing him on the pod.

412
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: He's got a really really cool voice too, quite like low.

413
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: It's a really low register, but it sounds really cool.

414
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: He was funny, actually, he said I don't normally listen

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: to my voice, and I was like, mate, you've got

416
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: a good one. You should just enjoy it, you know. Anyway,

417
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: that's me because I nerd out over voices, don't I

418
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: Big Love. I'm throwing pens around, Big Love. Hope you

419
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: enjoy this diary, EPP. I'll have more to report next week.

420
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: Oh oh my goodness, Why do I keep doing this?

421
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: I joined a yoga school here as well. I only

422
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: went to my first class today. It's vinyasa, so I

423
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: did a Vinyasa flow today. I've just got the two

424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: week like intro membership, and it's really nice. It's actually

425
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: in an old little house so you're actually practicing in

426
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: like a linroom that's been gutted of course, and just

427
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: on floorboards. So that's kind of nice and I really

428
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: like it. So I've been missing yogs. I've been doing

429
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: my little pilates workouts at home, but I, yeah, I

430
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: thought I've got to join a yoga studio. So I'm

431
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: just going to try a few out until i find

432
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: the right fit for me. So that's my other, my

433
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: other little plan right now. All Right, I've waffled way

434
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: too long. Mega Love, Go chase your dreams, do the

435
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,400

436
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: Bye.
