00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: know you're used to these coming to from Beautiful Byron Bay,

Speaker 1: but I've just moved to La, So these episodes will

00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: now be coming to you from the Land of Dreams.

Speaker 1: love from La, the City of Angels. Hello, welcome to

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: week ten of your Potter Rooney. I'm actually re recording

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: this because as I was uploading the original recording of

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: this to drop box, I was like, hang on a second, Lola,

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: I missed all this stuff, and I thought my energy

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: was a little bit flat, if I'm being really honest

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: with you. So I wanted to get in here and

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: do it again. So this is the Friday episode Diary

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: check in. We are we ten, my friends, Holy mackerel,

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: of being in the wonderful Los Angeles, the City of Dreams?

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: Is it the Land of Dreams? The City of Angels.

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I've got lots to update you on. Food wise, protein

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: bar I tried a new one this week. I'm obsessed

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: with this tea that I actually just brewed a cup

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: for myself, and I was like, I've got to tell

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: them because I know they can get this tea in Australia,

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: but it's a brand new flavor. So yeah, food update,

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: acting school update for you. I had some great iced coffees.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: As I mentioned last week. I've had to switch to

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: iced coffee because it is so hot here, like so hot,

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: so iced Americano is my choice. So I don't know anywhere,

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: and please someone write to me if you know. I

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: don't know anywhere you can get a long black, like

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: a hot long black, like I've ordered a hot Americano before.

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: It's definitely not long black though, like it's like it

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: tastes like filter coffee, which is totally fine. But yeah,

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: if I'm sure there'd been Aussie cafe where you can

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: literally order along black anyway, I digress, So ied Americanos.

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: I've been eat this little routine of walking with my

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: friend Sarah around the Silver Lake Reservoir reservoir reservoir a

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: big body of water, and so we pick up our

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: little iced coffees and then walk around for an hour.

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: So much fun. I went somewhere else for another iced one.

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: I think it was Maru, which is really close to

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: my house, which I was meant to do again today,

44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: but my podcast ran over time, so I have a

45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: little update for you on the pod as well. As

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: per usual, you get your Monday interview episode and then

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: your Friday Diary episode. But because I love interviewing people

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: in real life so much, I am now making the

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Monday episode locals like people that I meet here and

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: you might like. We had about I think we had

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: about six epps in the can that I'd recorded in

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Australia in the lead up to being here, because I

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: knew it'd take me a little bit of time to

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: make friends and meet people and basically scout people for

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: the podcast as well. So now we've exhausted those pre

56
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: recorded episodes, you know, like David Gillespie and who else

57
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: was there that was pre recorded in I feel like

58
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Guy Turlin that might have been done came out while

59
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I was here, But oh yeah, like Casey Brows, Jeordanna Levine,

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: like all of these guys were done. Duncan's episode, They're

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: all done obviously before in Australia before I came here.

62
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: So now that all those episodes are exhausted, now you're

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: getting local, LA based talent, and that started on the Monday.

64
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: That's just been with the wonderful Jackie Diamond, who is

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: my acting teacher, so we talked all things acting. But

66
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: it totally can apply to any area of life because

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: it's about discipline and really flexing the muscle of work ethic,

68
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: which is really really cool. So I really hope like

69
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: that episode. And then Monday coming out next. We have

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a beautiful actress who I have been hiking with. Her

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: name is Elka Berry and she has some great industry

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: stories because she's been here ten years, so she's got

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: some epic, epic stories. And then I've just finished interviewing

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Scott Tweety, who is a TV host in Australia and

75
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: also here on E News, so he'll come out the

76
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: week after that. So now we're getting this little hum

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: of all local talent for the interviews, which is really

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: really exciting and I'm really pumped about this, and I

79
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: hope you are as well. My goal is that they

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: have something that they can just share with you that

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: might hopefully inspire you in some way, shape or form,

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: so they you have it. The Monday episodes are still

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: feelessly failing interview style episodes. But it's all My recordings

84
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: generally are in real life. Ninety nine percent of them

85
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: are obviously other than when I was stuck in the

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Melbourne pandemic, like the pandemic when I was in Victoria.

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: But while I'm here, I figure there is a I'm

88
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: in a melting pot of creative people. I may as

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: well reach out to as many as I can. I've

90
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: written to some really big actors and have had like

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: zero response from them, But you never know. You got

92
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: to be in it to win it. So yeah, local talent.

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: So already we've had Grant Smiley on he owns EP

94
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: and LP here, Clayton Ferris, he is an amazing actor

95
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: over here and comedian. Like I said, Jackie Diamond, you've

96
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: got Elka next week. I've got my little list. That's

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: how I know all this off by heart. Scott I

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: just interviewed. I'm coloring in his little Can you hear

99
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: my click I'm one of those. It's got one of

100
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: those colored clicker bends, coloring in his little square. He's

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: been interviewed, so yeah, and I've got two more interviews

102
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: this week with some epic Aussies over here doing great

103
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: things and absolutely killing it.

104
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: So I really.

105
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoy that, and yeah, that's my goal, really

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: get you guys some amazing seeing local people that are

107
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: just chasing dreams.

Speaker 2: So I hope you like.

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Of course, as always, bring on any feedback. As of

110
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: this week, we're going to bring in the book reviews again,

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: just because there's been a few requests and I have

112
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: not been doing book reviews. I do want to be

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: really open and honest with you though. I have been

114
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: reading Breath by James Nesta, and it's really really good.

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: I haven't finished it though, because it's quite slow read.

116
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: It's like amazing but quite scientific, so it just takes

117
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: me a while. I'll read like a few pages a

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: time at a time, as opposed to bin reading. So

119
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: instead I'm going to be reviewing these really cool little

120
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: books today that my editor Simon sent me after we

121
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: finished the manuscript and there with his publishing company. So

122
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you about them in a sec and

123
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: then i'll give you an update on like I said,

124
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: acting school, Oh funny story.

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: Do I want to do that?

126
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: Now?

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: What do I want to do that? Don't want to do?

128
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Food?

129
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Stuff?

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Let's do food stuff first and then I'll give you

131
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: an update. So you know, I'm obsessed with Trader Jos.

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I got a Trader Joe's. I didn't know they had

133
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: their own range of juices, and like, I bought this

134
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: ginger shot and it was just straight up ginger juice.

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it had cane pepper, lemon, and then had

136
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: a little base of coconut water, organic coconut water, which

137
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: made it just a little bit more palatable.

138
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: It was really good. It was really easy to you

139
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: know shot.

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I would happily get one again, especially because I'm all

141
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: about just even though I've been vaccinated.

142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: I'm really aware of immune.

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Boosting things and just kind of like having them in

144
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: my diet. And actually, while I was in Trade Jos.

145
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: Can you hear this? Guess guess the sound? I feel

146
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: like I'm on that radio show. I guess the sound.

147
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: It's tea bags knocking around in a tea box. So

148
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: the brand is called Yogi Tea. You can definitely get

149
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: this in Australia, but I've never seen this flavor and

150
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: they had it at my local Trader Joe's for three dollars.

151
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Elderberry lemon balm immune and stress with Ushwa Gunda for

152
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: adaptogenic support.

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: It's really good.

154
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I stress out a lot, and so I just thought, well,

155
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: why not support my immune system and my stress at

156
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the same time.

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: And because it's.

158
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Yogi tea, the little tea bags have a little affirmation

159
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: on them. So this is I'm sipping on the tea.

160
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Now I've got my tea brewing here. It's really lemon

161
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: balmyps really nice. This is the little message on the

162
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: tea bag bit of paper. The unknown is where all

163
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: outcomes are possible.

164
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Enter it with grace. Oh I love that.

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I'll have a little sippo. Might be a bit hot.

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna really I'm sure trigger people that sound very yummy.

167
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Love it, love it, love it, love it. I also

168
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: tried a new protein bar from Trader Joe's, that Barbells brand,

169
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: you know that. I really like it. The macros read

170
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: really well. It's like two hundred calories twenty grams of proteins.

171
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Zero grams are sugar because they use sugar alcohols in it.

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: And their flavor I tried was Cashu Camel. Last week

173
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: I tried almond white chocolate and previous to that, cookies

174
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: and cream cookies and cream hands down as the winner.

175
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: I think, really really yummy. None of the others have

176
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: come close. I haven't got this for a little while,

177
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: but I've written it down here in my notes, which

178
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: tells me I should mention it too. I can't go

179
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's hungry otherwise I end up buying the

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: key lime popcorn. It's insane and I devour the whole bag.

181
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: It's like coconuty, limey sweet, but then popcorn and of

182
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: course gluten free. They have these cookies they're called Sneakerdodle

183
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: cookies and their soft bakes, So Sneakerdoodle is a very

184
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: American flavor. It's basically cinnamon ginger, like a gingerbread kind

185
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: of flavor. But their soft bakes they're super soft, and

186
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: they're gluten free. The gluten free range of Trader Jos

187
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: is insane. And then I tried the dark chocolate peanut buttercups.

188
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: And you think you're eating healthy because it's like, oh,

189
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: dark chocolate, but really you're still getting a bit of

190
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: sugar in there. Oh. The other cheat that I've had

191
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: this week good cheat, though. I think it's my favorite

192
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: thing that I've found since I've been here. It's vegan

193
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: and gluten free. It's a brand of cookie that I've

194
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: told you about before called Delucious, and they have like

195
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: double chalk chocchip, cinnamon like cinnamon.

196
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: Briosh or BRULETTI.

197
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what that breulea cinnamon brewlai that's delicious

198
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: literally rolled in sugar though, so I'm you can see

199
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: what's so delicious?

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: What sem peanut butter.

201
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: But my favorite, hands down, although I love that cinnamon brewlet,

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: one my favorite hands out is the chocchip and it's

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: just like soft and squoodgy and oh so good made

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: locally as well. Cool kill kill kill, okay, having a

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: little sip of my tea. Acting school last week, I

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: went up with my scene partner Moe, who's a legend

207
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: and a very funny comedian from New York. She it

208
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: cracked me up and just made the raise the bar

209
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: so high, so that I really worked my butt off

210
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: to just be even a pinch as good as what

211
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: she is, and it was so much fun. We put

212
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: the scene up TOUTSI from the nineteen eighty two movie

213
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: with Dustin Hoffman and Sidney Pollack. Her character was Dustin

214
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Hoffman's character called Michael, and mine was called George, played

215
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: by Sidney Pollack. So the dynamic was so much fun.

216
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I was basically her agent, and she's this really struggling

217
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: actor that wants to be taken seriously, and I'm like

218
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: telling her some truths, if that makes sense. But it

219
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: was fun because we got to be like so passionate

220
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: to one another. Like Michael's character like was so fighting

221
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: for like why don't you believe in me?

222
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you're too hard to work with.

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Like there, it was a lot of fun and a

224
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of like it was a really fast paced, like

225
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: a bit of a tennis match. And then I've got

226
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: my new scene, my new script, my new scene partner

227
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: for a woodyel movie called Hannah and Her Sisters, and

228
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: I play Hannah. Hannah is like the straight, like the

229
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: real straighty one eighty kind of character, and everyone else

230
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: around her is quite chaotic. So the scene is with

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: my sister Holly, and that character is so much fun

232
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: to play because she's in like a whirlwind world, whereas

233
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm like the calm one trying to like stop the

234
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: volcano from erupting.

235
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: Pretty much.

236
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: So I want to watch a bit of Jason Bateman

237
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: arrested development to play that quite like straight but still

238
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: comical character.

239
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: Curl.

240
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: That's acting school. So I've got acting school tomorrow. I've

241
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: got rehearsal tomorrow for the new scene, You're expected to

242
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: rehearse quite a lot. The workload is heavy, but I

243
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: love that and I love that people care and give

244
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: a shit. So after this, I'll be learning lines for

245
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: my new script that I have printed out here so

246
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: general American, I get to say, like, the cool thing

247
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: about this character is there because I don't want my

248
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: sister to like blow up, like I'm kind kind of

249
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: like always overcorrecting and like going, I'm trying to say

250
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: something but I'd never get out, like I'm like, no,

251
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I didn't, I know that's no, no, I I no,

252
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I just I just I just hate to see you

253
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position where you could get it hurt.

254
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: And so it's kind of fun, like you can play

255
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: that bumbly like no but yes, but yes but no,

256
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: you know, like trying to not say the right thing vibes,

257
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: So I'll be learning them Tonoin. Next thing to tell you,

258
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: there is a TV show on Netflix I'm obsessed with

259
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: called Virgin River. Oh my goodness, I've binge in like

260
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: three days. It's like Romance to the max. My rule is,

261
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: because I'm living on my own here, I'm not watching

262
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: any true crime anything scary, any murder stuff. I'm not

263
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: even listening to true crime podcasts, Like no, I'll do

264
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: that in quarantine what I'm in Australia and I'm I

265
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: know there's like army in police outside my room, but no,

266
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: when I'm on my own, I'm just like it's all comedy,

267
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: light stuff and romance and rom coms. So Virgin River

268
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: is if you're a sucker for romance, watch Virgin River.

269
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: The lead guy is like Megahunky and the love is

270
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: so fun, Like who doesn't love watching love? It's so

271
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: nice to watch. But I think I watched it in

272
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: three days and that's three seasons. Good one lalla, but yeah, amazing.

273
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Highly recommend Virgin River. I've started a HOV challenge, so

311
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: a great prezsy idea, you know. And now I am

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: heading off to Whole Foods to get some dinner. I'm

313
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: thinking some salmon and maybe just salmon and salad tonight

314
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: because it's just got really really hot. I'm not sure though.

315
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: I like doing a bit of meal prep on Tuesday.

316
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: Is it Tuesday for me?

317
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: Or is it Monday? Holy macro, it's is it? Oh my?

318
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: Where If I put my phone there, I'll be able

319
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: to tell you it's Tuesday.

320
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: Day to day guys, When I record I always try

321
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: to record quite a bit in advance, just in cases

322
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: any glitches. So I'm gonna go to Whole Food tonight,

323
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: get some ingreds, get some salmonon salad and veggies, and

324
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: of course I'll tell you what I buy, and no

325
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 1: doubt do a whole and potentially get smashed. I keep

326
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: getting smashed because byausies that don't like the plastic use.

327
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: But here COVID is super ramp.

328
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: But just to give you a little update on the

329
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: COVID thing, I think a couple of days ago we

330
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: had three thousand new cases in Los Angeles County, so

331
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: it's pretty full on, and vaccinated people can still get it.

332
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: You just get a little bit milder than say, if

333
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: you weren't vaccinated. That's where you end up in icy

334
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: and it's really really really scary. But where was I

335
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: going with that? So it's still it is still very

336
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: very prevalent here, and we're fully masked. So when you

337
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: leave the house, like when I exercise, I don't need

338
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: Like if I go for a run or walk, I

339
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: don't need to have a mask on. But at the

340
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: moment I step into a space, like whether it be

341
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: acting school, whether it be whole foods, whether it be traded,

342
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Joe's mask on, no matter what. And at acting school

343
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: we wear masks when we're not on stage. We social

344
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: distance and you know, we've shown vaccine ID and everything

345
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: like they take it so seriously. They've got an air

346
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: purifier throughout the building. So yeah, it's definitely feels serious here.

347
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: But everybody is just so proactive and so united and

348
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: so hopeful that the energy still feels really positive. I

349
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: think because America got hit so hard like this time

350
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: last year, that they're like, you know, how lucky that

351
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: we can even like leave the house and we're not

352
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: in lockdown and we're not in curfew and things like that.

353
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, it feels really really really hopeful here.

354
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: Ah.

355
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: One other funny story for you preface this involves a

356
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: sex toy, not mine.

357
00:18:58,920 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: Ps.

358
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I've just built a whole hole, dug

359
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: a whole hole there to walk into. But yes, I

360
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: was walking at Griffith Park and I was on the

361
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: phone chatting to my mate and we're having a really

362
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: serious conversation and I looked down and I was kind

363
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: of like staying at the base of Griffith Park.

364
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: So I wasn't walking up the hike because you lose reception.

365
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: So I was kind of like walking like this one

366
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: little area before I went up, because I wanted to

367
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: you know, have a good have a conversation. Then I

368
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: was going to get off and do my hike. And

369
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: so I was, you know, as I'm doing my third

370
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: little lap of where I knew there was good reception,

371
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: I looked down at the ground and then there's this

372
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: giant black dildo and I took a photo of it

373
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: at my friend's like mid serious combo, and so I

374
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: waited for it to finish your sentence, and then I

375
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: was like, would you like to laugh?

376
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: And she's like what? And I was like would you

377
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: like to laugh?

378
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: And she goes yeah, and I go check your phone

379
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: send her a photo and she's like. I was like,

380
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: that's my current view, my friend, and she you said,

381
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: oh my god, how did you stay calm the entire

382
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: time I was talking? And I was like, mate, I

383
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: just comic relief. And then because it was still like

384
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: it would have been four am in Australia, I waited

385
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,040

386
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,520
