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

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to you

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Diary potter.

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: I have got so many props here today for today's pod. Basically,

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: Boss and I made the huge I don't want to

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: use the word mistake, but we went to Trader Joe's

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: hungry yesterday and as a result brought a lot of

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: snack items. Traded Joe's is famous for it's really good

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: snack and a lot of gluten free and vegan items. Sorry,

14
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of food reviews for you. We

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: have done lots of stuff. We've been in a new

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: area this past week, so I just said to Matt,

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: I was like, let's just explore it. So we went

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: to the movies. We went to this old, beautiful theater

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: that I believe was set up in nineteen thirty four,

20
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: so it feels very like Art deco kind of vibes,

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: and it only shows three movies at any one time.

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I think there's two cinemas inside the movie theater, and

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: they have like mattine deals. So it's ten dollars fifty

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: for a matinee because this is like an old art

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: house vibes theater. I think it's only twelve dollars fifty anyway,

26
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: like for an adult, whereas if you go to AMC

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: which is America's version of like you know, Houtz or Village,

28
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: it's about twenty bucks an adult ticket unless you go

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: on a matinee. And then apparently Tuesdays all day Tuesdays

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: are seven dollar tickets, which is great. Already planning our

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: next movie day. But anyway, we went to the movies.

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: We saw this movie called Monkey Man with Dev Patel.

33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: It was incredible. It's very like I do want to

34
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: give you a heads up. It's quite violent and it's

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: very like action movie. It is based on Indian mythology.

36
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I think it's called I had not I've studied a

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: little bit of Indian mythology because of yoga teacher training,

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: so there are references to the story of Hahnemann and

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: and Shiva. I believe Shiva is the destroyer. So there

40
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: are references to those like mythology stories, but this is

41
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: based this like plot is based on a mythology story

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: that I didn't know called I think it's called the

43
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: ram Maia the ram Minor, and it is almost beat

44
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: for beat that plot story. Dev Patel stars in it,

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: writes a pro is it. Jordan Peel is the distribution producer.

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: So this is where it gets really interesting. Basically, Netflix

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: gave Dev Patel thirty million dollars to go and create

48
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: the movie. He goes and creates this masterpiece and Netflix

49
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: drops it. So it was meant to come out like

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: October last year, twenty twenty three on Netflix, and they

51
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: drop it, and then it was essentially a dead movie.

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I think that's what they call it when it won't

53
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: get to be released. And then Jordan Peel, because he's

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: done a lot of work with Universal, was like, Yo,

55
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: there's this finished movie. You don't need to do a thing.

56
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to buy it off Netflix? So Universal

57
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: brought it off Netflix for ten million dollars, ready to go,

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: and so now it's getting a cinema release. It's fantastic.

59
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I saw. I went down the TikTok rabbit hole and

60
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I saw so it came out I think around April fifth,

61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: so about a week week and a half ago, and

62
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: I saw Dev Patel accepting, not accepting, but like at

63
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: this one of the screenings in Los Angeles and he's

64
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: just there crying, like and so overwhelmed. It was like

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: game and goosebumps. The soundtracks phenomenal. The cinema score is phenomenal.

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Highly recommend it. Go see it. It's fantastic. It is

67
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: violent though, so if you're not good with like gory

68
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: and those kind of real full on violent action sequences,

69
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: like it's quite brutal at times, just be aware of

70
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: that one. But yeah, the music, it's incredible. Highly highly

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: recommend it. I loved it and I loved seeing it

72
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: in one of my favorite theaters in LA probably in

73
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the world. I just love this little old theater. What

74
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: else do we do? We had a little date night.

75
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: We had our first La date night at a beautiful

76
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: restaurant that has happy hour every day from four pm,

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: four pm to eight pm most nights, which I think

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: we left by eight pm. I think anyway, ten Dolla

79
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: my tea, so Buss and I both had a martini.

80
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I got the Nicsoi salad. Boss got their classic burger

81
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: and Chippo's, which he loved. It has a huge menu

82
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: that's super common in America, like menus for everything, even tho.

83
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: This was a French restaurant or French bistro, and it

84
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: was really awesome, And it was just so nice to

85
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: have a martini with the Boss and a little date

86
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: night and people watch who were sitting out on the

87
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: sidewalk and just people watching, and friends that I've taken

88
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: to this restaurant over the past wrote to me. They

89
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, you would. I think it's

90
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: called I say Figario, but I think it's called Figaro

91
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Figaro Bistro. Anyway, the happy hour is great because if

92
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: you've got a meeting in la and you want to

93
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: meet for a vino or something, it's really cheap, Like

94
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: I think the wines are like six dollars of glass. Like,

95
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: it's a really great affordable place to go. The food

96
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: is not as cheap. So Matt and I was saying,

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: if we did it again, would probably just go for

98
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: like I might, you know, go for a my tini,

99
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: go for a walk. It's a beautiful area, really nice. Anyway. Now,

100
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna save the food review stuff for you

101
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: until the end of this Potter Rooney, But what do

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I do? I caught up with my friends friend Sam.

103
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: He came to one of my yin yoga classes, then

104
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: went to Whole Foods together after I got the Paleo

105
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: green smoothie with hemp protein added and in a low

106
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: hard bar, which is like the cleanest of all the

107
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: protein bars. I like the cookie dough flavor. I got

108
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: him one duo. He wasn't so wrapped on that protein bar.

109
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: He said it was a five out of ten. I

110
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: think it was too like chewy for him, but it

111
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: was like it's got none of the bad stuff in it, essentially.

112
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: I also recorded a pod this week with the beautiful

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Daisy of Spiritual Mixtape. That episode is gonna come out

114
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: next Monday. I just realized I'm recording this diary a

115
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: little in advance, so yes, it'll come out next Monday,

116
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: so you don't need to wait very long couple of

117
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: sleeps and that we'll be out. She's fantastic, So she

118
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Daisy went from like high powered executive agent job to

119
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: breath worker in her thirties and talks about making that

120
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: change and like really committing to living a purpose a

121
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: purpose driven life, and so that was really inspiring. So

122
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna love, love, love that app And

123
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the episode that came out Monday, just gone, is of

124
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: course with the wonderful David the Medium. He was in

125
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles recently and we recorded a true crime Ala pod.

126
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: We did one a while ago, I think it's episode

127
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty four, all around the east parts

128
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: of Valet, and this one that we've just recorded that's

129
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: just come out was all around west suburbs of lat

130
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: and probably more affluent suburbs as well, so a bit

131
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: more while that there was murder there, so super super

132
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: safe neighborhood. It's very very, very very interesting. The other

133
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: thing was my Sam that came to a Yinn class

134
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: was like can we go again? So we did a

135
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: sculpt class yesterday again at Hot eight, which is where

136
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I teach yoaks, and then he had to do a

137
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: self tape, so I read for him, which is a

138
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I haven't I'm taking just this month

139
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: of acting school just because I've got a lot of

140
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: moving pieces and a lot of logistics getting grounded and

141
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: sorted here in La And so it was really nice

142
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: to kind of like pop on the acting hat again

143
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: and just like do a self tape, run a self

144
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: tape with him. And he's just a good Aussie actor

145
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: friend that lives over here. Alrighty now reviews. The first

146
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: thing is boss is obsessed with and he did a

147
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: review in his on his page with the Trader Joe's

148
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: dill pickle potato chips. They were great. I think they're

149
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: a little overcooked, but they were great. But this here

150
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: is another one of Bossess Trader Joe's dark chocolate almond

151
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: butter filled prestal nuggets. So imagine like do you remember

152
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: miniweats when you're a kid. It's like that, but it's

153
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: got almond butter inside the mini wheat but is actually

154
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: a pretzel and then it's covered in dark chocolate. I

155
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: had a few of these yesterday, really good. They're not

156
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: gluten free though, so I paid for it and they

157
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: upset my guts a little bit. Then we also got

158
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: everything but the bagel seasoned kettle cooked potato chips great,

159
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: not as great as the dill ones. And then here

160
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: are my treats that I went freaking ham on because

161
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: I went in hungry. I'd done that skulp class that

162
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: I was telling you about. So this is probably can

163
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: you hear this? This is probably one of my favorite

164
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: treats at Trader Joe's. Obviously, you know I love the

165
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: daisy got me onto the gluten free cookies. They do

166
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: a coconut raisin and a choc chip salted, very good

167
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: and gluten free. So don't upset you tell me, but

168
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: I found these soft bakes doodles, chewy sugar cookies topped

169
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: with cinnamon, free of wheat, milk, peanuts, treenuts, eggs, soy

170
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: and sesamet vegan gluten free. So what on earth are

171
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: they making with? Okay? Ingredients, brown rice, flour, cane sugar, dates,

172
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: safflower oil, pear juice concentrate, sorghum flour, water, brown rice syrup, grape,

173
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: grape juice concentrate, buckwheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, xanthem, gum,

174
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: rosemary extract, conjact gum. Okay, they're ten out of ten.

175
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: They are a packet of like twelve, and I hate

176
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: them in one go. I actually hid them from Boss.

177
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't figured out that I've had them, so I'll

178
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: be he'll figure it out eventually, but I'm hoping he doesn't.

179
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: And then we got these. These are Traded Jose Soft

180
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: baked sunflour butter cookies with roasted sunflower seed. It sounds great,

181
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: not great, vegan, gluten free, free of eat, milk, peanuts, teannuts, eggs,

182
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: so and sesame. Similar ingredients to the last one. They're okay.

183
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: They've got like a little hunt hunt a hint of honey,

184
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: but not that good. I actually had nightmares last night.

185
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: MAT's like, it's because you ate, So I just got

186
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: to snack mode. And then, of course I can't go

187
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and get Trade Jo's snacks without getting the strawberry Mochi

188
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,359
Speaker 1: six Mochi gluten free keep frozen strawberry ice cream surrounded

189
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: by sweet rice dough. It's so young. The strawberry flavors

190
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: the best. The green tea flavor is also good. Again,

191
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: we finished them last night, so Traded Joe's. Do not

192
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: go there hungry, because that what happened there. That is

193
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: what happens. But I do feel like they do have

194
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: great things, and I do love it. And I'm always

195
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: go back. I also got a three pack of candles,

196
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: just because we've been doing a lot of cooking home

197
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: cooking at the place we're staying at the moment, So

198
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: three pack of candles. I think it's like eight dollars.

199
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: The flavor that's my favorite is the raspberry and roses.

200
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: The flavor that's my least favorite, I think it's the

201
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: rhubarb and bamboo. No, surely not, it would save that flavor. Yes,

202
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: it's the rubub and bamboo that smells like absolute toilet cleaner.

203
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Not good, So don't get the rububb and bamboo. And

204
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: then lemon verbena we haven't burnt yet. Well, that actually

205
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: smells quite nice. That'll be nice anyway. It's got some

206
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: candles for a couple of date nights. We have another

207
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: move ahead of us and we'll be going to stay

208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: with mates for a little while in beautiful brent Wood,

209
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: so that's going to be lovely. And I've got lots

210
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: of yog's teaching, so I teach a different locations, all

211
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: within within the umbrella of the same yoga schools. So

212
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I've got I think I'm teaching every day this week,

213
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: So I teach yin. I teach power which is like binyasa,

214
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: and then I teach power one, which is essentially foundational vinyasa,

215
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So I'm just going through my week.

216
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I met with my Aussie accounts and my

217
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: American accounts this week. Fun times. What else did we do?

218
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: We went to Marshalls. So Marshalls is like kind of

219
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: a home wears, cheap homewares store. We just got some

220
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: simple things like for getting ready for apartment shop, and

221
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: we've got like mugs. I got another candle there that's

222
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: really nice. It's a big one and like I've just

223
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: been lighting that at night when we have our homecooked dinners.

224
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what flavor it is and it's not

225
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: close to me, but I am eyeballing and it's a

226
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: really gentle like kind of Oceana flavor. And what else

227
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: have I got on my list here? Oh yeah? I

228
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: also went to Lessons, you know how much I love Lessons,

229
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: and I got their butterscotch blondie, so so good. I

230
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: had therapy this week as well, which was so helpful.

231
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: What else I'd love to just check my you know,

232
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: just check my list of the week. That was so

233
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: that I haven't missed anything with you, do you know

234
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: what I mean? No? Oh yeah, I had to shoot

235
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: some influencer gigs, which I've already posted. So that's fun.

236
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of really fun because obviously like influencing as

237
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: one part of what I do, but it's really fun

238
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: doing it in our lake because I'm like, oh, this

239
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: this can could look cool. Like we shot a skincare

240
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: thing on a Griffith Park hike. I fun fact, I

241
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: tricked Matt into doing that. Hike's quite a long, hard hike,

242
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, We've got to film this

243
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: this skincare campaign. And I'm like and he's like, okay.

244
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: It was for Jury Leek, right, and and I go,

245
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: look this whole concept around a wishing tree and making

246
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: a pleasure a wishing tree. I was like, there's a

247
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: great tree at the top of the Griffith Park hike

248
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and he's like all right. I was like, so we'll

249
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: hike and we'll get the content all right. Anyway, So

250
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: it was a little walk to get to even the

251
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: start of Griffith Park from where we were staying, and

252
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: we get to the bottom of Griffith Park. So the

253
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: hike's all ahead of us, and he's like, what's going on?

254
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: I go, what do you mean? He goes, where's the tree?

255
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: I was like the top of the hike and he's like,

256
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: we haven't even started the hike yet, and I'm like nah.

257
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: So it ended up being like a twelve twelve thousand

258
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: step parke. While we're getting content. He was that off me.

259
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: He said to me, I want you to know I'm

260
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: going to get you back for this, and I don't

261
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: know how and I don't know when, but I'm absolutely

262
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: going to get you back for this. I was like,

263
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: I love hiking. Go for it. No props, mate, no props.

264
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: And what else. I've got meetings this week, which is

265
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: really exciting. I've got a job interview, So I am

266
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: basically teaching yokes here just to make some American beans,

267
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: if I'm honest with you, and then then I use

268
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: that money for acting school or traded or petrol that

269
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And then just so that we're not

270
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: bleeding into Aussie cash. I don't know if you followed

271
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: any other Australians trajectory when they move over here, because

272
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: these Aussie dollar is obviously weaker than the American one.

273
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: You can kind of really rip through your savings quite quickly.

274
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: So I did this last year as well. I was like,

275
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: if I can just get a job where I'm bringing

276
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: in US dollars, then it just means that I'm hitting

277
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: my Australian savings less. And it is harder with like

278
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: because I've always kind of subleased when I'm here, which

279
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: means you lease off, you lease off somebody that's already

280
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: signed a lease, so it's kind of like less official,

281
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: whereas this time we're lease leasing, which means you've got

282
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: to do documents, they've got to do credit checks on you,

283
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: and building a credit score in America is a beast

284
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: in and all of itself. And so being Aussie's you

285
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: got to pay double deposits, like it's a real financial spend.

286
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: And so I'm just like at the moment kind of

287
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: going all right, I'm teaching five days a week at

288
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: the moment, which is quite a lot. Like I'm teaching

289
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: anywhere between kind of like six and ten classes a week,

290
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: which is a fair bit of like driving and you know,

291
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: prepping your yogs, prepping your playlist, all that kind of thing.

292
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: But it is a lot of fun and you get

293
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: to meet some great, great people, and at the moment,

294
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: as of last week and next week as well and

295
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: probably the following, I'm going to be teaching at different

296
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: locations and it's so fun because you get to see

297
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: a whole different community and each studio kind of like

298
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: feels totally different. And then often I'll practice at a

299
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: different studio again because it's a studio that's got like

300
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: I think they've got like sixteen locations. Anyway, I feel

301
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: like I rambled a bit then I thought I had

302
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: more food reviews for you, but like I'm looking all

303
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: these snackos now. We really gave the snacks and nudge yesterday.

304
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: The good thing as well about shopping at Trader Joe's

305
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: is like, although you will see all the tiktoks about

306
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: Air one and even Whole Foods, they're just so much dearer.

307
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: So Traded Joe's you can kind of like get your

308
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: weekly shopping done for around about one hundred dollars and

309
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: that's including proteins, and so it is just so much

310
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: easier to do it. And Trader Joe's has like great cards,

311
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: great flowers, like I had to get not I had

312
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: to I wanted to get a friend a bunch of

313
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: flowers yesterday and a card and like some really like

314
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: gorgeous little truffle chocolates, and that all at Traded Joe's

315
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: and you know, like yeah, it all ends up costing

316
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: like twenty dollars, but that at like a Gilson's or

317
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: out of Bristol Farms or at Whole Foods or an

318
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: air one would be like sixty bucks or fifty bucks.

319
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: And so it is a great place to go on.

320
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Their flower game is FANTASTICO. So I just yea would

321
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: highly recommend Traded Joe's for just like not spending the earth.

322
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: I then there is also like Vaughn's, Albertson's and Ralph's,

323
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: which are like your calls on your woolies. I just

324
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: prefer the organic range at Trader Joe's, and it is affordable,

325
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: so I always end up going to Trade Ros. I'm like,

326
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: I know what's organic. I know their like eggs are

327
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: really good. I know I can get wild salmon, you know,

328
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: things like that. Anyway, so I'm a fan. And then

329
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: they've obviously got their little candles and their candles all seasonal,

330
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: so I saw although those flavors I told you about,

331
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: they come in a three pack. I think that three

332
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: pack exists for a lot of the year, but their

333
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: single one at the moment is a grapefruit flavor, which

334
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: is really yummy, like a pink grapefruits delish, and I yeah,

335
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: I always take notice of like their candles because like

336
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: every month or so they bring out a different candle flavor.

337
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's also has boots. So if you're going all

338
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: mate stinner party and you want to take a bottle

339
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: of pinot or something, you can, you know, anyway, that

340
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: is us, That is us. So we've got a little

341
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: bit more moving what a little bit more moving parts

342
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: before we're fully grounded. But we're all moving in the

343
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: right direction. We're loving it. We're just taking it as

344
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: one big adventure. And yeah, it's really exciting. It's really exciting.

345
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, we'll be more Brentwood for a little

346
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: bit and I can't wait to do and discover Brentwood things.

347
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: I've made a list of things that we should try

348
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: in Brentwood, so hopefully I can review some of this

349
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: for you on the pod. Abbert Kinni, Matt's never been

350
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: down Abbert Kinni, which is a famous shopping strip in

351
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Venice Sugarfish and it's a beautiful Japanese restaurant. Oh, there's

352
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: a famous cookie place called Padeeria Padiria. They have a

353
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: really nice farmers market there. I spent a lot of

354
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: last year living with mates in Brentwood, so I love

355
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: it heavy handed. The Burger Place that we went to

356
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica. Our Brentwood mates really want to go

357
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: and discover it, so we might do that with them.

358
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: There's a really good dog park there called dog People.

359
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: There's the Brentwood country Mark that we took David the

360
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Medium too, but you can go like lunch, dinner. It's

361
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: just a cool little vibe and a shopping vibe too.

362
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: And then I really want to do The Seven Dollars.

363
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday's AMC Movies, but at Century City. So Century City

364
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: is a really famous outdoor shopping mall. It's not like

365
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: it's not the Grove. The Grove's kind of like got

366
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: the big water features. Century City's just kind of got

367
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: everything and you can get everything in one spot and

368
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: it's all outdoors, very la very California. But it has

369
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: been raining all all this weekend. That's just been so

370
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel as la right now, like it's very wintery.

371
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: It's like twelve degrees. It's a bit fresh. And it

372
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: was that last week when we're in Santa Monica as well,

373
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: it was very fresh, very wintery, bit on the chili soid.

374
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: So I think that they say like La warmth and

375
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: summer will start to kick in next month, like May

376
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: it really warms up the moment, it's a bit on

377
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: the chilier sides. But this is the week that was.

378
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: This is us finding our feet in Ala and just

379
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: taking it as one day at a time. Boss has

380
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: been working his guts out for back in Australia and

381
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: he's doing well. He's in America, is working Australian hours

382
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: and he's working his butt off and still helping me

383
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: with the pod and any kind of vo auditions and

384
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: things like that. So he's the best thing ever. And

385
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: I said to him, do you want to jump on

386
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: the pod and do a little review of your favorite

387
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Chippos And he's like, nope, all you today. But I

388
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: did say to him, in the next few weeks it'd

389
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: be nice to get him on, like maybe when we've

390
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: been in La for two months or something, two or

391
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: three months and just be like, how do you feel now,

392
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: because it does take a while to ground in LA

393
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: and to really feel like you've got your groove, much

394
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: more so than like Byron, you kind of takes like

395
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: three weeks and you're like, when we move to Byron,

396
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: you kind of got your routine, your settled, do you

397
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: know what you're doing? But here it takes a lot longer.

398
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: It takes a while to find the right mates, the

399
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: real mates, and you know, people that aren't too taky.

400
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: Like even the other day someone asked me something and

401
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, that's so taky, Like, you know,

402
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: it takes a bit to find the right friendship group

403
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: and all that kind of thing. So yeah, I think LA.

404
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: I was talking to a mate of mine and he's like,

405
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: I've been here five years and I'm starting to find

406
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: my feet now, and I'm like, whoa. And I guess

407
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: this is I think my fourth year. When did I

408
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: start coming over here in my green card? Yeah, twenty

409
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: twenty one, so this is my third year. Yeah, so

410
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: hopefully I think I have a thing. I know there's

411
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot of like astrologists saying that we're coming up

412
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: to a big thing happening in the skies with Jupiter,

413
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,160

Speaker 1: strong month. I just have a feeling. But yeah, I

418
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: can either rain outside. I don't think you can though,

419
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: because I've got a new pop filter on my MIC.

420
