1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to you

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, Diary

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: EPP is coming to you from the floor of my

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: hotel room here in Sydney. I'm literally my notes are

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: in my suitcase. I am running straight to the airport

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: after I record this pod with you. I am staying

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: at the Baxley in Bondai. It's really gorgeous. It's got

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: like Hampton's feels, It's got minimalistic values. There's like a

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: community tea and coffee room, and I keep going and

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: stealing tea two tea bags and bringing them back to

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: my room and having all the different teas. Probably shouldn't

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: be admitting that, but it's a really beautiful place to

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: stay and they've given me a lovely media rate as well,

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: and I've loved it. I've recorded a lot of pods here,

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: but I wanted to make this diary episode about the

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: week that was, so it will come out even though

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: I'm back in Byron. It's going to be the week

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: that was. So that was Melbourne for three days and

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Sydney for two nights, two and a half days, two

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: and a half days. So I'm going to run you

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: through the week that was, and then I'm going to

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: pack up my suitcase and dash to the airport, fly

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: to Byron, right into the Bosso's arms. So the first

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: part of the trip started in Melbourne. I went down

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: for podcasts. I went down to see my Fanbam before

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I go to Los Angeles and is it Los Angeles

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: or Los Angeles? I want to say Los Angeles. Anyway,

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I might be bogaan arising and I'm

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: not sure. So I went down to Melbs to do

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: some pods. Had a really cool producer on. I don't

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: think this Epp will come out. His is going to

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: come out until I'm in LA. It fits the Hollywood

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: lifestyle and getting a film producer on. But he was

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: so sweet and wrote me the sweetest message after about

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: he goes chookers for LA. Did you know so Chockers

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: is a saying that actors say to each other in

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the theater world in Australia as good luck instead of

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: break a leg, it's choocker's. And I said it to

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: some American friends when I was in LA last year

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: and they were like, what chuckers? What? I was like, Oh,

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: it's the same as break a leg and they go,

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: what does it mean? And I was like, I don't know.

48
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: It's just good luck in Australian. That's what I said, really,

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: And this guest wrote to me and said, choockers for LA.

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: Chockers comes from Victorian theater days when poor actors saw

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: a full house, like when they were going before they

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: were going on stage, and it meant that they were

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: going to eat chicken for dinner because they had enough money,

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: and so they go, ah, chook ers tonight. So how

55
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: cool that that's where it originated from and that's what

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: it means. And then I had my good friend Kemy

57
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: on that app's going to come out really soon because

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: she's got an incredible book coming out Power, which I'll

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: review for you the week that that pod comes out.

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: I don't have any food spots to recommend to you

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: from the Melbourne trip simply because I actually organized a

62
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Karmik juice cleans for two reasons. One, I just love

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: a reset and it's my favorite juice cleans ever. And

64
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: I've I really have been, honestly, I used juice cleanses.

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: I use Sorry Karmik whenever I'm in Victoria because Sam's

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: is a legend and they're just they run such a

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: freaking awesome business and they just know what I love.

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Like literally, I might have was like, Hey, can I

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: organize a cleansing go Zen cleans Lola, And I was like, yes, please.

70
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: He's also done a code Lola to get fifteen percent off.

71
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: If you did want to do a Karmic cleanse, I

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: might ask if it's meant to end today, I might

73
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: ask if you can extend it a week so that

74
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: it when this is you can if you want to

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: do the cleans and you're in Victoria, you can use

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: the code Loler and get fifteen percent off, because that's

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: a pretty big savings. I think, ayay, So I did

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: that for three days, one for the Reset and then

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: two for it just saves time. I was like back

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: to back acting school stuff podcasts. Seeing my fan Bam

81
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: chopping the mop which takes like seven hours. Literally, I've

82
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: got such the care and what else I was doing, like,

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, all the fun stuff eyebrows, dentists, all that

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: pre limb stuff you do before you go overseas, and

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: so that trip was Hectic's the point that Dad's like,

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: you are going to burn out. You're literally running on

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: not much. And I was like from not sleeping much

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: and stuff. And I was like, I will literally sleep

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: for three days when I go back to Byron. It's

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: all good. I will catch myself. Mum came down from

91
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Dalasford took me for a coffee. Oh delish coffee. So

92
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: that's my brain's lover the shop too. I think as

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the time, and I know I've got

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a fly soon. Mum took me for a coffee at

95
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: nineteen and you might be your ears might be like,

96
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: hang on ight, you want a juice cleans here's my cheat.

97
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: If I want a juice cleanse and still going to

98
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: have to work and be super productive. I keep black

99
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: coffee in so like whether it's a sashet of Lola

100
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: coffee or I go out for a long black or

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: a filter batch brew. Right, I do that just that

102
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: I've got enough to kind of like energize me and

103
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: get me through the day. But if I'm at home

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: or I'm at a health retreat, I will absolutely take

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: coffee out as well and cop the caffeine withdrawals, you know,

106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: the nasty headache for a few days and stuff like that,

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and the very the lethargy, and you can nap in

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: the afternoon and stuff and all the things that you

109
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of need to do when you're cleansing. Whereas for me,

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: this was more like, oh my god, I'm gonna be

111
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: so time poor, but I can always pack juices with me,

112
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: and there's a delicious chai almond milk you have as

113
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: well is part of the cleans So that's why I

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: was doing it for two reasons, to save so much

115
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: time while I was on the go, and also to

116
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: naturally give me a reset without me thinking about it,

117
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: because I'm a bit of an obsessor and overthinker, and

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: if I'm busy and juice cleans against like two for one,

119
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm not like what time's my next juice or when

120
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: can I have a next juice? I'm like, oh, shivers,

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: have a juice? Do you know? What I mean. I

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: feel like I'm rambling. But anyway, Coming Cleans can't speak

123
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: highly enough. Absolute legends run the company and I'm a

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 1: huge fan. To be fully transparent with you. They gift

125
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: it to me and I just say, ah, I'll spread

126
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: some love on socials and they go, don't even worry

127
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: about it. We don't mind if you do. We just

128
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: want you to have good nutrition while you're here. So

129
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: it was a gift, but there was no expectation to post,

130
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: which is really cool. Of course I posted like tenfold

131
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: as a result. I was like, Oh, you're such legends,

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm going to see if I can get

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: you that code for one more week, so Lola, if

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: you want to order it. So Mum came down and

135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: we went to a really good cafe for coffee and so,

136
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: I will tell you a great spot near where my

137
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: dad is in ascot Val So it's called Number nineteen.

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Yummy yummy coffee. They're full blown coffee nerds there and

139
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: I love it. And then she took me to my hair.

140
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I found all my old goal and manifesto books and

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I put them all in a big box and they're

142
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: going to be sort a mum's farm because Dad's house

143
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: is much smaller, and she's like, I will one hundred

144
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: percent look after them. So I had got to go

145
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: through my old manifesto books and I actually packed my

146
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: old USA Dream book with me because I thought, oh,

147
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: that's going to be so nice to revisit before LA.

148
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I might go through it in one of our diary

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: pods if you're up for it. Ah. Interesting thing that happened.

150
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: I had to say no to a few pods, like

151
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: as in getting guests on, because people saw I was

152
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: in town and They're like, oh, can we get on

153
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the podcast? And I'm like, oh, my goodness, I would

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: love to interview. I just don't have the time. But

155
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 1: also I don't know if you know this. I spend

156
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: it between eight and twelve hours researching each guest, so

157
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: like effectively a day and a half work hours, and

158
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: so I can't say yes in twenty four hours before

159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: unless I have nothing on or can literally stop what

160
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing, And so it was really hard. I felt

161
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: so guilty saying no to people that were like, I

162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: see you're in town, can we get on the pod?

163
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I wish I could say yes.

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: So I was a bit confronted saying no, but then

165
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: I was rapped that I was like so passionate about

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: keeping the quality of the podcast strong. And so that's

167
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: something that I kind of learned on this trip that

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I the quality was like numero uno for me. I

169
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: was so lucky I got to go to acting school.

170
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: I got to order another class that means sitting the

171
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: audience and watch the actors work. It was so much fun.

172
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: And I worked on a Jackie Weaver monologue from the

173
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: movie Animal Kingdom. Loved it, learnt so much, took a

174
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Mazillian note, and I'm all fired up for la, which

175
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: is really exciting, and I feel so grateful that I

176
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: could get into class. I also was able to see

177
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: my therapist and have a one on like so we

178
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: see each other obviously on zoom because I live in Byron,

179
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: and to see him in real life. We figured out

180
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: it had been I think two and a half years

181
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: because of COVID and I was in Talkie and then Byron,

182
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: it was like two and a half years since we've

183
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: seen each other in the flesh in real life. So

184
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: that was really cool and I was like, because I've

185
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: been seeing him every second week on Zoom. It was

186
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: like no time had passed, but it was so nice

187
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: for like real life hangs. Who else instids. I've interviewed

188
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Sam Frost and Sarah Wilson on the Pod and Sally

189
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: O'Neill Foody, all legends, all great, They're all going to

190
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: roll out soon. Sam's got a book coming out at

191
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: the end of March, so I'll make sure I time

192
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: that app and I've read her book so i'll review

193
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: it when that Poto that poto was due to come out.

194
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: I have been reading like an absolute demon. I've read

195
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: one book on the road. I've been reading a Color

196
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: Jung book as well on the road. I Sarah Wilson

197
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: just gave me her newest book, this one, Wild and

198
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: Precious Life, which is beautiful cover and I cannot wait

199
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: to read it. I have been reading so much, like literally,

200
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I've got to do book reviews for you. For Crimson

201
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Lake by Candice Fox, Lifespan by David Sinclair, Believe by

202
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Sam Frost. What else have I read? Anyway? I'm on

203
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: fire with the reading guys. You know I said I've

204
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: got this goal to read so much, Well, I'm killing

205
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: it on the reading front. I love it. I love it.

206
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: I love it because I'm not smart, like naturally intelligent,

207
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: and so I feel like I'm an emotionally smart person.

208
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: But and the reading just helps, Like it grows your lexicon,

209
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: it grows you can you're not searching for words so much.

210
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I just love a ps lexicons or word that I

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: learned in the last couple of years. It's like the

212
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: amount of words you use in your language. So like

213
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: the more you read, the more you're exposed to different

214
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: kind of words and describing words. You know, it's really cool,

215
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: really cool. There's got to be like science paper studies

216
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: on how powerful reading is for like neuroplasticity and your

217
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: brain and whatnot. Anyway, I really digressed. So Melbourne was

218
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: POD's therapy acting school family, and I'm so wrapped. I've

219
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: got to do a morning where I just walked and

220
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: got coffee with Dad and chat his incredible dog. I

221
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: stayed with Dad. I'm in moub so I got to

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: hang with him loads, teach him how to use Airbnb

223
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: app lots of fun. He's really into the Sas TV

224
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: show too, so I got to, you know, just do

225
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: some real fun stuff with Dad and just chill when

226
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't chasing my tail, and then what else do

227
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: I do? Is there anything else? I've written all my

228
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Melbourne things yet, but I feel like I've ticked everything off.

229
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: I flew out super super super super early on Friday morning,

230
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: like first flight of the day, and I was like,

231
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: whoa this is? This is solid, Like, oh, you're probably

232
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: like lo like everyone flies early. I'm just so wrapped

233
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: that I have made it and haven't missed anything. And

234
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: the only thing that's that I had to kind of

235
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: juggle was a podcast canceled and I wasn't expecting it

236
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: and it was close to recording time, and so I

237
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness, shipping me timbers? What do

238
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: I do? It was kind of like the window was

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: so small that I didn't have time to kind of

240
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: like get a new guest in or also I wouldn't

241
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: have had time to research them. And I was like,

242
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: just be nimble, and I went for a massive walk

243
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: and got pelted on in the rain and Sydney it's

244
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: been storming, so yeah, flew to Sydney really early. It

245
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: was my mate's Jane's birthday, and so I surprised her

246
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: with some flowers and just literally rocked up on a

247
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: doorstep with all my suitcases and a bunch of flowers.

248
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: I was like, happy birthday. I know you're busy, but boom.

249
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: And then I jetted to my hotel. So where I'm

250
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: saying what I told you, which is the Baxley bond

251
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: I really curl, really cool if you love Bondi and

252
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: love walking around like Bondi Road and stuff. I saw

253
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: there was like a Peach's pilates on the main drag.

254
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: There's like a nimbus and cost you could really have

255
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: that Bondi Health area. It's not a bang on the beach.

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: It's morning Waverley Park, which I just walked around this morning,

257
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: which is gorge I've never walked around it before. And

258
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: then like as soon as I got in, I had

259
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Sam Frost and then Sarah Wilson straight after, and then

260
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that night I just started prepping the next

261
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: day's pods and I've literally just been doing pol and

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: then sell yesterday and then I said, come and do

263
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: the pod and then we'll go to this pre premiere

264
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: of a TV show called Tropo. So Tropo was based

265
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: on Candace Fox's book Crimson Lake, which I have been

266
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: read right before I came on this trip. I read

267
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: it in like three days Environ. It's so good. I'm

268
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: going to review it for you on the next Diary episode,

269
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: simply because I have a plane to get to and

270
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm really scared that I'm gonna be cutting it fine,

271
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: So I promise you I will review that book next week.

272
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved it, and it was so much fun

273
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: having read the book so recently and then be sitting

274
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: literally last night in the theater watching the characters unfold,

275
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: because you obviously build the characters in your head when

276
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: you're reading, and your imagination kind of like takes takes flight, right,

277
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and then when you see the movie version. I mean

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: plenty of people probably felt like this with Harry Potter

279
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: or even Fifty Shades of Gray. So I was saying,

280
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: it's so different when it's in your head reading the

281
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: then seeing the movie. So it was so cool to

282
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: see these characters come to life. And the actors were awesome.

283
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: I think the lead actor is called Thomas Jane. He's American,

284
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: and so they've made the lead American in the book.

285
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: He's not he's Aussie in the book, and it was

286
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: so much fun. So we went to. It's called the

287
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: Randwick Ritz, which is like a really kind of like

288
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: old school artsy kind of art deco vibes theater, and

289
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: it was so funny. Everyone was glammed up. Actors were there,

290
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Candas was there, it was like the production team was there.

291
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: So it was that real industry kind of feel, so

292
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: it was less an influencery kind of thing and more

293
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: of like these are the people. Like they had the

294
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: sound guys there, they had the people that worked on

295
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: the score, they had a whole gamut of people and

296
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the theater was pump and packed, so it was unreal.

297
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: If you hear this, Candace Massive Congress trop I was

298
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: so good. It has officially launched on ABC and I

299
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: highly recommend you watch it. It's really cool. All shot

300
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: in Australia, in Queensland, so he's supporting Australian talent, but

301
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: also like the whole team like that's you know, Queensland film,

302
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: so good. It's based in cans I'm pretty sure I

303
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: think Crimson Lake is in Cans and all the location

304
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: that it's set in. And like I said, I will

305
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: review the book for you because I want to like

306
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: give you proper like the experience of reading it. Oh,

307
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: it was I'm like literally packing Candas Fox books for

308
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: when I go to America because she's just such an

309
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: amazing writer. Until I interviewed her on this podcast, I

310
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: was not into crime fiction at all, like at all,

311
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: and I was interviewing her for the pod and so

312
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: I was like, oh about a book called The Chase,

313
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: which is one of her recent books, and I was like,

314
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: I better read this book. And I could not put

315
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: it down. And I was like, how I am thirty five?

316
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Like how have I spent my whole life not picking

317
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: up crime fiction before? This is so cool. There was

318
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: like a page turner. It felt like I was watching

319
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: a movie, like I was fully immersed in it. I

320
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: loved it. And so it was just so cool to

321
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: see one of Kansas's books be turned into a TV

322
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: show or a series. Should I say so? It's on

323
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: ABC and it's called Tropo. It's based on the book

324
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: called Crimson Lake and massive congrats Candace. It was unreal.

325
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: So I did that last night. I went to that

326
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: launch last night and it was so so much fun.

327
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: And then actually I did that. I have foody Experienced

328
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: in Sydney to tell you about and then when it finished,

329
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: it was Sally and I was so hungry, and she's like,

330
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: do you want to get a pokey bowl? And I

331
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness, you read my mind. So

332
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: we just went to Coogi had a pokey bowl. If

333
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: you really want, like you're traveling and you're in Sydney

334
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: and you want a healthy meal, it's called fish bowl

335
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: sushi I think, and they're everywhere. They're a chain, but

336
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: it's really cool that you can get your poke bowl

337
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: on a base of like I think it's brown rice,

338
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: quen onile or cabbage. The cabbage is so nice because

339
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: it's sliced so thin, and then when you mix it

340
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: through the dressing and everything, it gets so much flavor

341
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: on it. We both got the og, which is like

342
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: I love it. It's got like seaweed salad on top,

343
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: It's got sushimi, graye salmon. It's just really really yummy.

344
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: It's got crunchy bits on top, and I think caviar

345
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: on top. Two highly recommend it. And if you want

346
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: to if you're traveling and you're like, I want to

347
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: make a healthy choice, it's a great, healthy, delicious meal.

348
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: So did that and then came back I was so exhausted,

349
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: like Boss was facetiming at me, and I was like,

350
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: I gotta go sleep. I'm exhausted. I think the whole

351
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: nonstopness is catching up. And went to bed. Just got

352
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: up this morning. I've gone for a nice walk around

353
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: Waverley Park, which I have never walked around before. I've

354
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: done a mad dash to pack everything up so that

355
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: I could get this pod recorded for you before I jet,

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: because I really wanted to record it from this cool

357
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: hotel room. Hotel rooms are great acoustics usually to record in,

358
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: and it's while everything is really fresh in my mind.

359
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: You know. Oh, I have one more coffee place to

360
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: tell you about in Sydney. I think it's called the

361
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Bennett Street Dairy. It's really close to where I'm staying.

362
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: It's just off Bondai Road. And I had a delicious

363
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: long black there and the food looked really good too,

364
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: But I was just into much a rush out of

365
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: guess coming on the pod. So yeah, Bennett Street Dairy

366
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend for great coffee. But the whole

367
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: vibe was very curl like, it just looked really really

368
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: really curl. So they're my Sydney tips. So I had

369
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: any more little places to tell you about in CIDs.

370
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: I've got to admit like being fully transparent with you

371
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: being on the run and just like I grabbed a

372
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: few like less healthy items on the run in Sydney,

373
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: just because I was like, oh my goodness, like if

374
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't eat now, when am I getting a chance

375
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: to eat in between podcasts and whatnot? And they're not

376
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: super healthy, but I would rather be honest with you

377
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: when I'm having something it's not super superhal But I

378
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: just grabbed a couple of quest bars at Chemi's warehouse

379
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: and they've actually just got me through like the intensity

380
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: of like quick it get a bit of energy and

381
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: before I record another podcast. So yeah, there's still anyone

382
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: that followed my American adventures. Like they're not the cleanest

383
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: bars in the world, but it was nice because it

384
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: was like I was able to like focus, you know,

385
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: when you get so hungry that you're like, oh god,

386
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to focus. So yeah, I just want to

387
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: be open with you about all that I'm going to

388
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: pack these suitcases up. I'm sure I've missed little bits

389
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: here and there for sure, but yeah, all in all,

390
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: great trip. We did some great podcasting. I'm doing all

391
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: this like pre recording so that I've got episodes for

392
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: you in LA to drop on the Mondays, the interview apps.

393
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: And it's just so that because in LA, to be honest,

394
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't really have any friends. I've got one friend,

395
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: I've got Mo and you know, Jackie's a mate too,

396
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: but that's it, like the two mates. Like I'm hoping

397
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Sam's going to be there at the same time, Emma

398
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: mate Sam. But other than that, I don't know anyone,

399
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: and so it's going to be really hard to wrangle

400
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: podcast guests. And I really want the calendar be caliber

401
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: to be so strong for you. So that's why I've

402
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: done this trip to kind of like get my podcast

403
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: guests up and kind of get ahead. So some of

404
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: the guests I've recorded won't come out for a little

405
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: while because I'm making sure I have episodes for you

406
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: while I'm in Los Angeles and kind of like not

407
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: having connections yet. So I don't worry. I'm determined to

408
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: get you some amazing Americana guests, don't you worry. But

409
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to make sure that we didn't

410
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: run out of EPPS and we're all set, and I'm

411
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: recording some really cool interview use this week in Byron too.

412
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: All right, two dlou that was my adventure trip in

Speaker 1: twenty one minutes. I hope you enjoyed it. You had

Speaker 1: you love that. I hope you got to listen to it.

418
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: His drive is so inspiring, whether into cooking and chefing

419
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: or not, he is amazing, really really cool. I think

420
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: I said in the intro of his EPP but he

421
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: rocked up at eight am on Sunday morning to my

422
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: dad's house to record that pod. Really really cool human being.

423
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: See his app will come out Monday, and I'm just

424
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: figuring out which guest comes out next, because all got

425
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: to do the When I interview authors, often they've got

426
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: book release dates that you've got a time in with.

427
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: So I'm just juggling to figure out which author comes

428
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: out next. It'll either be Kemy or Laurna Jane, So

429
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those two, both amazing

430
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: human beings, all right, mega mega love and I can't

431
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: wait to chat to you in the next diary episode,

432
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Big love Boy. Hello, this is a ps to your

433
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: Friday Diary episode because I got stuck in Sydney, or

434
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: I have been stuck in Sydney. So I recorded that episode,

435
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: the diary episode, and then I packed up my bags,

436
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: dashed to the airport, and in the uber, I just

437
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: checked the status of my flight and it just said delayed.

438
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, no sweat. And then I

439
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: got to the airport and it was just like the

440
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: whole terminal was just mental, like people everywhere and whatnot.

441
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: But it felt chaotic, and I was like, okay, so

442
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: something's up here. And then that pears. That's Tiko in

443
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: the background. If you can hear Tigo, because fast forward,

444
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: my wonderful friend Sally O'Neil has put me up for

445
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: the night. I was like, ship as, I don't know

446
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: what to do. I'm stranded, so you will hear that

447
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm stranded off three cancelations. And she lives with a beautiful,

448
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: cute little pup that is called Tico. He's being really chill.

449
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: I can't see where he is right now. He's such

450
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: a little shadow, a really real little sweetie. But he

451
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: keeps bringing me his toys, and so if you hear

452
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: a sound, I think he's bringing me toys. So basically

453
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: got to the airport and it got there, and kept

454
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: checking the status of my flight, and then eventually it

455
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: was canceled and I got there. I somehow went goled

456
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: my way through to the lounge because the guys were

457
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: so absolutely awesome getting me on another flight. So got

458
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: onto another flight, had to move my bags, change them

459
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: up on flight, get them onto another flight. And then

460
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: as I was like finally like oh, that was like

461
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: a stressful hour and a half, sitting down about to

462
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: have a coffee, then I got the next cancelation come through,

463
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: and then I was just being bumped on later and

464
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: later flights, and I had to change from flying into

465
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: Byron to the Gold Coast, and then I was just

466
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: seeing more and more people line up with cancelations, and

467
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is not looking great. And

468
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Matt's like, I'm leaving now to drive to the Gold Coast,

469
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, don't leave. I have a feeling

470
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: this might all blow up. So what happened was when

471
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: the third cancelation came through, then everyone that had already

472
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: been canceled, had already been bumped onto other flights. So

473
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: even if the other flights do or don't go ahead,

474
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: they there's a high chance that I wouldn't get on

475
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: them anyway, because they're fully booked from all other people

476
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: that had been bumped on off prior flights. So I

477
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: kept getting bumped and bumped and bumped, and I eventually

478
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: got put on a Goldie morning flight for tomorrow, but

479
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: I thought, off, it's flooded. Boss is gonna find it

480
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: really hard to get to me. So I ended up

481
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: getting on a Byron flight for lunchtime tomorrow, so I

482
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: got the last seat on it. So I'm hoping it

483
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: goes ahead. I'm hoping everything is a okay, otherwise I

484
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: might be in SIDS for a pinch longer. I'm trying

485
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: to find the silver lining. Oh. At first of all,

486
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm staying at Beautiful Saleshouse, so I'm loving it here

487
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: and I'm going to work from here. But I thought

488
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I've got to give you a PS update. I literally

489
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: felt like I was on amazing race. I was checking

490
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: my bag out getting it back on most I initially

491
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: had been bumped to tomorrow, but I was like, no, no,

492
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: it's the morning. There are still so many more flights

493
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: out and it just kind of like slowly got less

494
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: and less a chance to get on flights. So yeah,

495
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm spending another night in SIDS. I've just been reading

496
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: the bomb, you know, the weather Bureau, and it looks

497
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: like it's meant to not really calm down for a while.

498
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: So I remember, I don't know if you remember last

499
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: year Boston and I got stuck in Newcastle, same thing

500
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: around the flood time. So I'm just hoping that it

501
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: all pans out and calms down and I can fly tomorrow.

502
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: If not, I'll be hanging out out with Seal Andico

503
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: for a bit longer. But I just thought i'd give

504
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: you a PS update because it's the floods are in

505
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: all of Queensland and Northern Rivers, and obviously I live

506
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: in Byron Bay, which is Northern Rivers, and so yeah,

507
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea. People have told me it's dangerous

508
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: to be on my flight tomorrow because apparently the Byron

509
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: Bay Airport has a smaller runway and it's harder to land,

510
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: so they say it's better to fly into the Gold

511
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: Coast because it's a longer runway therefore easier to land.

512
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: So I have no idea if I'm going to get

513
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: back tomorrow, but I thought i'd just give you a

514
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: little PS and let you know where it's at. I'm

515
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of like looking at it as like a little

516
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: silver lining, and it's great. I've got a desk here,

517
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: i can work and i can get stuff done. I'm

518
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: going to go out and get my favorite poky for

519
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: dinner again. So I'm just rolling with it, you know.

520
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: But I guess I just want to do this PS

521
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: because like you know, you've got to be flexible and

522
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: nimble and just go with it and roll with it.

523
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, how lucky that I'm in Australia.

524
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: It's so much easier when you're in your own country

525
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: when this stuff happens. So it's, yeah, not too hard

526
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: to sort out stuff. And I'm in Sydney, so I

527
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: know mates, I've got mates that live here, so I'm

528
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: not spending oodles of cat cash on a hotel. So

529
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: I feel really really lucky that it's all worked out.

530
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just wanted to give you a little update.

531
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully the floods. Hopefully there's not a PPS tomorrow and

532
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm like trapped another day, guys, not trap, it's stuck

533
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: in Sid's another day. So I'm I'm hoping. I'm super

534
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: keen to get back to the boss o because we've

535
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: got less than two weeks left together before I go

536
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: to LA and I just really want to hang with

537

Speaker 1: the Bossachenhi and have an awesome couple of weeks with him.

538
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's my update, and I yeah, I'm kinda

539
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: just roll on with it. So yeah, along with the
