Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: to from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

Speaker 2: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: Heloha pod Diary.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: I am recording this late Thursday evening before a Friday

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: morning release. I am about to go to Los Angeles

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: at six am Saturday morning. So today has just been

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: one of those days of trying to cram in as

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: much as I can with as many people as I can,

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: do all my goodbyes, and get everything done and pause

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: my optus, you know, pause my home at not my home,

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: pause my phone, you know, I let the bank now

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: I'm going away, all those kind of like tricky things,

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: pause my health insurance blah blahlah, all that stuff. So

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: it's just been like it's a lot of admin. When

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: you go away for an extended period of time, I

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: feel it's a lot of admin. And you know, organizing

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: insurance for over in la and all that kind of dress.

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: So that has been my world since we got back

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: from Malbs. We got back from Malbs late Saturday night.

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: Basically we went to Malbs to hang with the fam Bam.

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: I also went to acting school. I went really dark

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: with my hair. We did a beautiful dinner with Matt's fam.

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: Oh it was just such yummy, like salmon and all

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: fresh veggies and so nice to hang with his mum

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: and his dad, and he invited his two besties. My

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: mum drove down from the farm she lives on and

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: we took her to one of our favorite cafes in

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Collingwood called Terror Twilight. They did this incredible Japanese brecky

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: and it was so good. And then we took add

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: to a Mexican place for dinner, which was just again

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: it's just stuff.

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Fact we've got our favorite little nooks.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: And cafes and restaurants in Males and we just absolutely

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: love it. So it was one of those trips. And

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: it was a quick trip too, and I recorded podcast

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: podcasts as well, so they'll all be coming out really

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: really soon.

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: So it's just one of those trips.

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: You know, getting and I feel like since I've got back.

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: I've just been like running to get things done and

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: get things finished. I'm nearly packed. I'm probably seventy percent packed.

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: I want that all done before tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning,

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: getting my nails done, I'm catching out with their mate

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: and meeting their bambino, and so I'm just kind of

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: like doing all the things that i want to make

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: sure I get done before.

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm living on the other side of the world for

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: a while. So's that's literally been my world.

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Like Litra Lee, I will say one fun thing about

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: acting school, I did a really fun monologue. It was

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: the Rick Dalton losing it monologue off Once upon a

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: Time in Hollywood, and that character is played by the

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: epic Leonardo DiCaprio, and it's the scene when he forgets

59
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: his lines on set and goes into his caravan and

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: just like he's like eight whiskeys hours and he's like

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: getting so angry at himself. Is like it's like it's

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 2: so it's a really fun monologue, and it basically switches

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: between him berating himself to kind of like pumping himself

64
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: up and he's like, you show you, goddamn show everyone,

65
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: who the fuck Rick Dalton is like it's a lot

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: of fun, and so I had a lot of fun

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: with that monologue in Malbs, and I just I've got

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: a teacher I just love training with in Melbourne, and

69
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: I love doing that right before LA because when I

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: go to LA, I'm going to try and get straight

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: into voice school and sitcom training school, which is obviously

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: quite a different skill set than what I learn here.

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: So I really try to always be in some kind

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: of school and be training because I just think, especially

75
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: in the acting world, like you get a lot of no's,

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: like I've been auditioning even from here for my American agents,

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: and you don't actually hear back. When you don't get anything,

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: you just get nothing. And so I think training makes

79
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: you feel like you're still moving forward and you're still

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: like nourishing that and doing the best that you can

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: do to further yourself and your career. And so it's

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: been nice to, yeah, just keep on with like my

83
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: dialect training and my acting training, and yeah, it's been

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: a lot of fun, a lot of fun. And then

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: what else have I been doing. I We're very lucky here.

86
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: A couple of our mates have got little kiddos, so

87
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: I've made sure I've got all my I've just really

88
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: tried to kind of like get all my hangs in

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: with everybody before I leave. I caught up with the

90
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: Woods Boys tonight and went for a walk with my mate.

91
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: So I've just been doing all of that stuff, you know,

92
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: and like little things though, like tomorrow I want to

93
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: buy my favorite coffee beans and then I you know,

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: I want to pack my French press and just I

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: know it sounds weird, but there are some things that

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: as amazing as America is, Like I love my certain

97
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: things from here, Like I've got my favorite protein bars

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: that haven't got any junk or anything in them, and

99

Speaker 2: missing boss on the other side of the world and whatnot.

Speaker 1: he doesn't hear this. I'll tell him not to edit it.

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: He does a quick usually an edit check, so I'll

107
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: tell him not to I got him a little breezy,

108
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,200

110
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: we're having a little date day. For some reason, he's

111
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: got in his head he wants to make me pumpkin

112
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: soup for dinner, which is so funny, but I'm just

113

Speaker 2: going with it. I'm like, great, I'll have a bit

114
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: of pumpkin soup and no sweat. I am packing quite

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: windry clothes because la is really cold at the moment,

116
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: so I'm told. So I've packed TRACKI dacks, jumpers, jeans,

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: so I'm kind of hoping it stays cool for a

118
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: little while because I've packed a little bit of that

119
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: stuff and it's obviously been so hot and humid in Australia,

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: obviously it being summer.

121
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: But it'll be really interesting.

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: I normally I haven't been there this time in the

123
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: year before. I've always kind of like got there a

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: month later than this. So yeah, I'm looking forward to

125
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: it and soaking it up and just chasing the dreams.

126
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: I keep saying to my mates, like we've gone through

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: the IVF stuff. We've you know, done the frozen bambeans

128
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: as I call them, the ice the ice babies, and

129
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: so now I just really want to run so hard

130
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: at the career. So I'm just you know, I do

131
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: feel like I'm starting from scratch though, which a lot

132
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: of people woul disagree with and say, I'm not. Even

133
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Matt would say, Lolly, You're totally not. But it is hard.

134
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: It feels like you are starting from scratch whenever you

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: go back to somewhere that is like as awesome but

136
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: also as brutal as LA is. So I'm kind of

137
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm excited, but I'm also apprehensive, and yeah, so does

138
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: make gang, does make angles. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: I've got to film a lot of Insta content tomorrow too,

140
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: because that content won't come out until I'm in LA,

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: but like it's important I film it here, some of it.

142
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: So tomorrow's just going to be a higglety pigglety get

143
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: things done day. And then Saturday morning flight of Byron.

144
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: I've got to beat the airport at six am. I'm

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: want a six fifty five flight and then straight to

146
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Sydney and then Sydney LA.

147
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I think that flight's like ten fifty five.

148
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: And then I'll be in our life and that's where

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440
