3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: but I've just moved to La, so these episodes will

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

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,919

Speaker 1: your own dreams. Big love from La, the City of Angels. Heiloha,

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Friday Diary pod. I'm actually recording this

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: a day later than I usually would in the week

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: because my car battery got stolen overnight at the front

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of my house. So I've had the last forty eight

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: hours or so of just literally trying to buy new batteries,

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: get them put in, double bolted in, and use this

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: stuff called plumber's tape, which is actually like bendy metal

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: stuff to get it locked in. I am praying that

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: when I get to my car this morning that it's

18
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: still in one piece. And of course, as always, you

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: can hear this. I've collected and tried buzz and all

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: kinds of things and healthy chocolate and fun stuff. I've

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: done traded Joe's Halls. I've done a bit of self

22
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: care stuff this week. What else have I got to

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: tell you? I've got my book review which I keep

24
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: promising to do, the James nest of Breath book. I'm

25
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: doing that today and I'll just tell you. We've been

26
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: down to downtown LA, lots of fun stuff. So I

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure that though today as well,

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: that I was speaking really honestly about my experience in

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: LA because it although it has been so were amazing

30
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: and it is I and I absolutely love it. I

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: also want to be really transparent and honest with you

32
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: that this has been really hard and tough and rough

33
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: experience as well. Car battery stolen. I've witnessed somebody have

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: a schizophrenic break, which is really scary. I was walking

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: in Griffith's Observatory and I just looked down at my

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: feet and there's a giant dildo like it is just

37
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: a very I've been yelled at walking into Hollywood just

38
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: to go to CBS. I got screened. There was this guy,

39
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: there's a in Hollywood. Now. There was a huge homeless

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: area that you walk through to get to Hollywood, and

41
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: it's like the tense tents are just lining the streets

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: with trash around them and whatnot. And this guy was

43
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: walking down the street and he was kind of like

44
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: talking to himself, like kind of rambling, and I clocked

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: him and I looked at him in his like, oh,

46
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: and there is this really weird lead you wrote here?

47
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: And I said, excuse me, are you talking about me?

48
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: And Matt was on the phone to be going, Lola,

49
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: don't say anything, don't say anything, don't provoke, don't provoke,

50
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, I've got to be able

51
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: to stand up and hold my space because if I

52
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: play a victim or run away, then I will ultimately

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: become a victim. So yeah, I want to be really

54
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: honest in this chat about like La is amazing. La

55
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun and obviously still the land

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: of hope and opportunity, but it's tough right now. Like

57
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you would have if you watched the Kardashians years ago.

58
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: They did a thing where they went down skid Row,

59
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: which is in downtown LA that very much exists, but

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: also that is now Venice, that is now Hollywood, that

61
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: is now Silver Lake, so lost, fearless where I live

62
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: sits halfway but it's literally between Hollywood on one side

63
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: and Silver Lake on the other side. So it's no

64
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: surprise that my car battery was star overnight because someone

65
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: might have needed or wanted to sell it. They retail

66
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: for about two hundred bucks US. So yeah, I just

67
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: wanted to be really transparent about like some of the

68
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: other stuff going on here this chat. A lot of

69
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: people write to me and say, oh, you know, I'm

70
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: vicariously living through you, which is awesome and really cool,

71
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that I can provide, like you know,

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: and a little bit of an ESCAPEI isn't feel. But

73
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: I also don't want to like hoodwink you and be like, oh,

74
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: it's all glitz and glamar and amazing, Like You've got

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to be so clear and so aware, like I've got

76
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: severe like neck, shoulder, jaw pain just because I'd say

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm stressed out and there's nothing wrong with that. I

78
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: just want to be open with you. That's kind of

79
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: the goal of this whole podcast as well. But yeah,

80
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: I guess obviously Bosso lives in Byron, and I've got

81
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of friends in Byron and a lot of

82
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: Byron mates, like, oh, this is horrible, and I was like, guys,

83
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: you're so lucky. And I know the lockdown is so hard.

84
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I remember it from last year. But yeah, the crime

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: that's in La now as a result of COVID as well,

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: is really really full on. And like I fall asleep

87
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: every night listening to helicopters and sirens and you hear

88
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: firecrackers go off and you don't know if they're gun shots.

89
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: There's been two murders on Melrose in the last week,

90
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: one in which happened in the middle of the day

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: at a sneaker shop. A sixteen year old boy really

92
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: wanted this pair of sneakers. They raffled them off to

93
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: see who could buy them. He didn't win. He rocked

94
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: up with a gun and their manager, who wasn't working

95
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: that day, came down. Music producer trying to make it

96
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: here in the music scene, twenty six years old, and

97
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: the sixteen year old shot him on the spot and

98
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: he's passed away at midday. And just to put it

99
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: into perspective for people listening, like Melrose and fairfac all

100
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: the acting school, a lot of the acting schools rom Melrose,

101
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: it was all blocked off. Had this happened last Wednesday,

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: it was all blocked off for everyone to get to

103
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: acting school. It's just like, I just want to be

104
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: really honest with you in these chats, and I feel

105
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: like every week I'm like, oh, I did this fun thing.

106
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I visited rodeo, you know, and I have been doing

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: all those fun things. I've been doing fun hikes, going

108
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: to fun places, doing so much. But I'm also very privileged.

109
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: So I just want to call that out. Basically, that

110
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: was the first thing I wanted to do. I still

111
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: want to like definitely give you this week's diary and whatnot.

112
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, just last night I had a Byron mate

113
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: right to me and go on about just how shit

114
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Byron is right now. And I get it because Byron

115
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: is an outdoor place, and you want to be out

116
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: in nature, and you want to be at the farmer's

117
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: markets and you want to you know, immerse yourself in

118
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: that amazing hippie the wellness culture. But Boss is still

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: doing the lighthouse walk, you know, because you've got a

120
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: radius and it fits within his radius. You know, He'll

121
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: still walk up and look at the koalas at the

122
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: end of our street every day and he's ultimately safe.

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just wanted to like paint a little

124
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: bit of a picture to like, like under the covers

125
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: of LA right now. It is confronting, it is scary,

126
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: it is rough, it is tough, and sometimes I have

127
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: felt a little bit unsafe. That said, all of that said,

128
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I love LA. I love it here. I love that

129
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: it is tough. I love that it's not easy to

130
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: make it here, despite what some people might say, And

131
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: it builds such a muscle of resilience. And you have

132
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: to have such a strong sense of who you are

133
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: as a human being and what you want, and you

134
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: have to take no prisoners. And that's what I love

135
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: about LA. Like I love the mindset, and I love

136
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: that in order to Yes, there are these great opportunities here,

137
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: but if you want them, you have to work so

138
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: much harder than everybody else to get them. Nothing's handed

139
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: on a plate. And I like that. So I still

140
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: love LA so much. In fact, maybe even the roughness

141
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: and the toughness is making me realize how real it is.

142
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Like and that's another thing, Like a lot of people

143
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: are writing to me, going can you get home? And

144
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I've paid a lot of money to get a flight

145
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: home and exhorbitant amount of money because I want to

146
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: be back in time for this yoga retreat. Crossing my

147
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: fingers and toes. It's going ahead, my friends, and of

148
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: course for the book. The book comes out in Australia

149
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: fearlessly failing the same name as this podcast on November one,

150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: and you know, like I'm flying back because I want

151
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: to tour it. I want to tour around Australia and

152
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: teach outdoor COVID friendly yogues where you know, we can

153
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: social distance and still launch a book and just do

154
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: it a bit differently. And that's what it has been

155
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: a great about la. There are so many cafes that

156
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: have just turned into outdoor only serving cafes, which is

157
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: awesome and as a result like that effects that obviously

158
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: the spread of COVID in a positive way because you're

159
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: literally sitting outdoors, you've got fresh air and you feel

160
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: a little bit safer. So yeah, that was my rant.

161
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: I definitely never want to be like a Debbie down

162
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: and with you guys, I want to be straight up

163
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: and honest, and that's why I really wanted to just say,

164
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: like things are amazing, and yes there is a sense

165
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: of it being open and therefore freedom here, but there

166
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: is also an underbelly to it, and I really want

167
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: to share the realness of it with you, and the

168
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: realness of how tough it is for me to get

169
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: back home. And a lot of people have written to

170
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: me and be like, oh, well, you've got money, you

171
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: can I'm like, my money is self made, and so

172
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: if I this whole trip and my flight home, that's

173
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: a house mortgage. I'll we paying for full blown quarantine.

174
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm fully vaccinated. You know. It's a really it's a

175
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: really tricky time to be wanting to travel, and then

176
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: there are laws in place saying that, you know, assies

177
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: that reside overseas can't get back out. So I've met

178
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: with three different immigration lawyers about that. So it's not easy,

179
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: you know. Again, don't want to harp. Just wanted to

180
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: be really honest about the realness of what is going

181
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: on here, just in a bit to yeah, but you

182
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: know me, I'm no BS. What you see is what

183
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: you get. I have. I believe I've changed as a

184
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: human being since I've been here. Yes, I definitely feel

185
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: more resilient, but I also have less of a tolerance

186
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: for BS. I've noticed just in little things like I've

187
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: stepped away from situations that no longer serve me, or

188
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: I've called them out if they're not quite right, or

189
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like being a virgo. Any virgo's out there,

190
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: it's our birthdays soon. Being a virgo, I have very

191
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: little tolerance for disloyalty and I guess being taken advantage of.

192
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: And I know nobody wants to be taken advantage of,

193
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: but I feel like that's my kryptonite. If i feel

194
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: like someone's taking advantage of me, I'm like, whoa, whoa,

195
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa bye. So I've had to

196
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: do that a few times since I've been here, and

197
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: it's felt really confronting, because as good as it is

198
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: to kind of like step up and hold your own space,

199
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: it's freaking scary to be like, yeah, I know my

200
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: worth well enough to call out this toxic BS. And

201
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: so I've had to do that a couple of times

202
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: since I've been here, And it comes from this sense

203
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: of like backing yourself but also holding your own but

204
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: actually believing in who you are as a human being. Anyway,

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I feel like I got very philosophical a little esoteric. There,

206
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: let's talk all the things I've tried. Let's flip to

207
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: a very happy, a very very happy topic. Okay, so

208
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: I always collect these for you. Oh yeah, as you know,

209
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: I always have one bars. You got to keep me

210
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: in the fridge here because La is so hot and

211
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't have AC so it gets like sweltering ps.

212
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Full disclosure. I'm doing this podcast in my PJS, having

213
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: my lo La coffee. As you can hear. Another thing

214
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to disclose to I was meant to fly

215
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: out this week this Friday. So when this podcast comes

216
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: out to Australia and I've pushed that out, I pushed

217
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that out ages ago. Well I didn't. Actually we were

218
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: looking at pushing it out and I was talking to

219
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: my Epic travel advisor my name's Lauren too, and I

220
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: said I think I need to shout a little bit

221
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: and she's like, well, we've got your ticket. I booked

222
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: a return ticket when I came over, and she said,

223
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: let's just make the call a month out and I

224
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: was like cool. And that was an American Airlines flight

225
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: got pulled. So I've paid three and a half grand

226
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: for that flight home. It's just sitting there won't ever

227
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: get to use it, and you don't get to adem

228
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: it until you're back in Australia. So like, I spent

229
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: three and a half grand on a non existent flight

230
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: and then twelve yeap twelve thousand to get a different

231
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: flight out to make it home in time for the

232
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: book launch and yoga retreat. And if you're listening going,

233
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, Australia is in such a bad way,

234
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: you're never going to make it back for the book

235
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: launch and the yoga retreat. I am remaining hope for

236
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: my friends, and also I'm going to get creative. There's

237
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: going to be really cool ways to do this book

238
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: launch I think that are super COVID friendly. It's not

239
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: till November two, so I'm really hoping Australia turns a

240
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: corner by then. But if you have any ideas about

241
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: what you'd like me to do, I'm thinking outdoor yogs

242
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: where it's all social distanced and people feel really safe.

243
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm also fully vaccinated, so I'm open to running events

244
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: where you either show a negative COVID test or your

245
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: vaccine ID to run an event. That's what happens here

246
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: in America now. Also to get into restaurants. You show

247
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: your vaccine ID at some places I know you do

248
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: in New York and in California. To be a teacher,

249
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: I know I'm not a teacher teacher, I'm a yoga teacher,

250
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: but you have to be vaccinated. So yeah, I think

251
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: there's gonna be ways around. There's gonna be ways to

252
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: do it really safe and within the guidelines of COVID restrictions.

253
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Again November, hoping every in Australia has turned a corner

254
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: by then. Let's talk food stuff I've tried. Okay, so

255
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: last week I tried that hot chocolate on adaptogeny hot

256
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: Chocolate that was really good. I loved it. I've also

257
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: tried this brand called wild One Brain Buzz Adaptogenic elixa

258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: mental clarity and focus supercharge your brain with lions main

259
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: got a Cola, Ardiola and Ginko. Really good. I've tried

260
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: this before when I first got here. It has steaming tech.

261
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: I had it just with water and it kind of

262
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: tasted a bit yucky, but I think if you had

263
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: it in coffee or with some almor milk, much more delicious.

264
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: I found a new Quest bar. You know I love quests,

265
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: so over here I've never seen them. In Australia, they

266
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: have these crispy Quest bars and they're really good if

267
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: you're like trying to avoid sugar, but you want a

268
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: like dessert, and so I found this one. This is

269
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Crispy cookies and cream flavor, and it's almost got like

270
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: a rice bubbly texture inside, and then it's got this

271
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: like white chocolate coating on the outside. One gram and sugar,

272
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: seventeen grams of protein, three grams of net carb. We've

273
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: spoken about this before. Quests aren't the cleanest as far

274
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: as ingredients wise go. They're a bit like that bar

275
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Bells brand as well, which I've talked about a lot

276
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: on here. But they are good if you're just like

277
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: they're not your like daily snack, but like if you're

278
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: craving something sweet and you don't want to effort up

279
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: and go to in and out Burger, like what I

280
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: did this week. I hope I've written about that here.

281
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I did go to. Yes, I've written it. In and out.

282
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with their strawberry thick shakes. I even got

283
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a large what anyway, I digress so young, but you

284
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: feel so bloated and gross after so anyway, So yeah,

285
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: quest cookies and cream flavor. And yet so I do

286
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: a crispy range, and the other one that's really good

287
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: is like this pecan caramel crispy range, which I've talked

288
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: about before. You know, I have the one bars the

289
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Maple Glazer. It's my favorite. But Boss has also sent

290
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: me a big pile of like he sent me a

291
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: package from Australia, sent me three packages. Now I'm actually

292
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: because we're not going to see each other for our

293
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: birthdays because I've extended my time here. So I'd booked

294
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: a flight back so that i'd be out of quarantine

295
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: just in time for our birthdays. But I have extended

296
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: and I now I'm going to get him praises and

297
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: send them back. And I've got like a little box

298
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: of like some praisi, but I've got to I really

299
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: want to go to Harry Potter World and get him

300
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: something from Harry Potter World too. Anyway, I digress. But

301
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: he sent me a packaged last week and it had

302
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of smart bars in it. Smart bars are

303
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: clean af you can get them in Australia. You can't

304
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: get me in America. But I tried this flavor that

305
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: is so good. Literally tastes like cherry ripe, dark chocolate,

306
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: cherry coconut flavor. These guys have got no baddies, no gluten,

307
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: no soy, no artificial sweeteness, no preserves, no sugar alcohols.

308
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: So those other ones have got sugar alcohols. That's what

309
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: makes them taste delicious, and it makes them have no

310
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: sugar in them, but it can muck with your tummy

311
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I noticed that I had a

312
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: barbells as dessert last night. I was like, oh, I

313
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: feeling like something sweet. And I had a little bit

314
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: about satsumming this morning overshare. Probably the smart bar has

315
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: over thirty one grams of protein in it one point

316
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: two grams of sugar, which I'm pretty comfy with one

317
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: eighty eight cowls and weah the protein is it says

318
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: here eighteen grams, but then the phone it says more

319
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: than thirty one oh thirty one percent protein, three carbs,

320
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: one point two gram sugar, eighteen grams of five bars.

321
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: So I really like the smart bars. I'm trying to

322
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: ration them because Boss is like, I'll send you more,

323
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: and then he goes, no, I can't. I'm not allowed

324
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: to drive to Balana, which is where we get them

325
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: in Australia. Anyway, Ah okay, Daniella Rose got me onto

326
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: this one on Insta. She DM me and she was like,

327
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: try these. So everyone posts about these. You've probably heard

328
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: of them before. They're called an rx BA. I don't

329
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: usually go for them because they have a lot more

330
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: sugar in them natural sugars though, So this does have

331
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: fourteen grams of sugar. So to put that into perspective

332
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: for you, one tea spoon of sugar is about five

333
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: grams or just sub five grams, so if this has

334
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: got fourteen grams, it's close to three Teethpeans sugars a lot,

335
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: but the ingredients are clean. Three egg whites, five pecans,

336
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: four cashews, two dates, no bs, so the two date

337
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: dates are like one hundred on the glycemic index as

338
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: far as like sugars go. So dates have got sugar.

339
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: They're like eating straight sugar, so that's where it's come from.

340
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: But it is a clean like, there is no numbers.

341
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: It's very very very clean, and this flavor is really good.

342
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: It's called maple Sea Salt, so of course I had

343
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: to try that because I'm a maple syrup fiend at

344
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's I found so I've never buy the Trader

345
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: Joe's chocolate or very rarely because it does have a

346
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: lot like sugar is always the first ingredient. But I

347
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: found this at the checkout, and the brand is called

348
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: Simply Light Lite, no added sugar, zero trans fats, gluten free,

349
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: dark chocolate with almonds, zero grams of sugars. But then

350
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: you've got your nine grams of sugar alcohol. So that's

351
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: what can upset you tummy, but it won't the you

352
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: won't absorb it. So it's sweetened with the thing called manotole.

353
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: That's your alcohol, sugar, coca mass, almonds, cocoa, butter inulin,

354
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: which is a fiber soyle, a thin natural vanilla extract,

355
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: whole milk powder, cinnamon contains almond milk. It was pretty good.

356
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I had that. I had that that hit. Look again,

357
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: if it's going to stop meeting Reese's butter cups, like

358
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: especially the white ones, which are my faves. I'm so

359
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: fine to have a little bit of sugar alcohol in

360
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: there because it's definitely a healthier option. Okay, okay, what

361
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: else is it on my list? Oh, there's a lot. Okay, okay, okay,

362
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: air one. You know, I go there all the time.

363
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: I've had the taco salad twice since I've spoken to

364
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: you last. I love that taco salad. I've tried a

365
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: few different treaty things from there, just so you know.

366
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: I got a smoothie rose and strawberry smoothie, really good,

367
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: really yummy. Of course, I got my standard Just Greens juice.

368
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: I always go back to the Just Greens. It's my favorite.

369
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: I also tried a salmon collard rap, so instead of

370
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: there being like a rap a bretty rap around it,

371
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: it's literally collard greens, very healthy, very shred If you're

372
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: living that like ala hiker lifestyle, that's your go to snack.

373
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: It's really really yummy but also super clean. So I'm

374
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: trying to really focus on health now because I am

375
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: due to fly out in about six or so weeks. Yeah,

376
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: I think I get out of quarantine in the middle

377
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: of October, so I'm starting to like switch to oh,

378
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: let's have the salmon collard rap, but their taco salad

379
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: is epic, like it's my absolute, absolute favorite, So yeah,

380
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: I kind of dart between the two. I treat wise

381
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: they do a raw vegan key lime pie. Oh, I

382
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: took a photo of it for you. Oh my god,

383
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: I just spilled coffee all over the table. Holy mackerel.

384
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: One second, I am just going to get a paper towel.

385
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: Oh dear me. Good news is it didn't go anywhere

386
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: on the carpet. It just it just went on my

387
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: notebook with all my notes. And there's still a lot

388
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: of coffee left. Okay, that's a good memory. Okay, let's

389
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: just have a swig. Since we're here, we'll take a

390
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: little t break. Okay. So I did take a photo

391
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: of this key lime pie for you. Let me see

392
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: if I can find it. I've shot heaps. If I've

393
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: done a few Instagram campaigns like shot all then you

394
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: got to shoot the content well before it's posted. So

395
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: I've got heaps of random content. So I might need

396
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: to go into a different album to find this key

397
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: lime pie. So I took a photo of the ingredients

398
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: for you. It was really good. I tried these as well.

399

400
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,840

401
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: most a lot of people are here we go. Got

404
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: and stevia and spirollina, and then the crust is cashew flour,

405
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:49,040

Speaker 1: and clean, Like that's really a nice clean treat and

407
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: it just was delicious. I would highly recommend that actually

408
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: that they do do their raw vegan treats really really

409
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: really well. I've taken so many photos for you, so

410
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm just like, holy Mac, do you know what I mean.

411
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm just trying to get them all

412
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: there for you, okay, la la focus. I'm just scrolling

413
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: through all my little snaps for you because I've taken

414
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot. I've talked to you about the taco salad, Okay,

415
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: I've taken you through going to Alafander. That was all

416
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: last week. So I try I take photos in different

417
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a lot more food stuff to tell you. Okay,

418
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: I need a focus. I also tried the gluten free

419
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: carrot cake from Air One. Very good. It was like

420
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: one of those carrot cakes that has got like layers

421
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: of the frosting through the cake. Very very good and

422
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: gluten free, obviously, like I'm slowly trying to get back

423
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: to health health health. Oh. I tried some sushi at

424
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Air one two. It was salmon and crab sushi. It

425
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: was really good. I actually took my mate's about Air

426
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: one and she was like, this is too healthy, and

427
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, you are so funny, so so so so funny.

428
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: Because we'd gone and got massages together that day and

429
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: we'd had shake Shack for lunch. I'd never tried Shakeshack,

430
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: so there's a big kind of like argument, is Shakeshack

431
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: better than In and Out? I would say that shake

432
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Shack's buns a bit like there are like so scoogy

433
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: and soft, and I think I talked about the Shakeshack

434
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: experience in the last pod. But I got this like

435
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: mustard onion double beef burger thing, and then we got

436
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: the Shakeshak fries with cheese. And then I got a

437
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: cookies and cream thick shake versus in and Out, which

438
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: I have also had this week despite being frying it

439
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: back on the health wagon. I got strawberry thick shake. Yeah,

440
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: I got large it's so good. And then I got

441
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: just a regular cheeseburger and animal fries I'm pretty sure.

442
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: And I actually got some merch which is cool. Okay,

443
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: why have I written bars chock? I don't know what

444
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: that means? More food, let's found the food wagon. I

445
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: have definitely had a few more coffee dates since we

446
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: last spoke. I've been going to I went to Alfred

447
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: and got an ice a Meriicano. Yesterday, I caught up

448
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: with a mate who I'm trying to get on the podcast,

449
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: and I got a batch brew at a local cafe

450
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: in Los Fiel. It's called Alcove, which is great because

451
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: you're sitting out in a garden a bit like All Time.

452
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: I've also been to All Time with my little drama

453
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: buds Moe, who was on the podcast on Monday, and

454
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: now mate Katie. We have a little like coffee catch up,

455
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: but we catch up for so long that we get hungry.

456
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: So Katie got this really called ginormous salad. I definitely

457
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: want to go there and get a salad next time.

458
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: Mo got like a granola, like a gluten free granola,

459
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: and I got the breakfast bere because like I'm a

460
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: bit of a burrito fiend since coming to La. So good.

461
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Oh okay. I had a meeting at this place called

462
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: I think it's called Let's just need Here we go.

463
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: I've taken heaps of photos. Yeah, it's called just what

464
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: I Need in a part of LA I've never been

465
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: to before. The area is called no joke, Frogtown, So

466
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: I think it's near Glendale and it's that it's an area,

467
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: and I hope I say this right. I'm going to

468
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: sound like such a dummy, but it's where it's been.

469
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: Is it gentrified? So basically I didn't know what this means,

470
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: but people talk about it a lot when they talk

471
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: about silver Lake and maybe lost Feeless ages ago, but

472
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Frogtown and Glendale are that, and it's where basically was

473
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: like a lower socio economic living area, and then wealthy

474
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: people have come in and kind of like made it

475
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: cool and hipster. So's they call that gentrification. I'm pretty sure.

476
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: Please write to me and correct me if I'm wrong. Okay, okay, okay, okay,

477
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: So just what I Need? So I had a meeting here.

478
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: It's a vegan bakery. Everything is made on site. I've

479
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: taken so many photos for you. They do vegan pop tarts.

480
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: Sorry what because I keep When I go to my

481
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: supermarket Albertson's, there's a whole row of like eighteen different

482
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: pop tart flavors like s'mores and apple pie, cinnamon and

483
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: caram all this and da da. So these are like

484
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: healthy vegan ones. And there's one I went there for

485
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: a meeting on a Friday, so there is a TGIF

486
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: then got its Friday pop tart, and then there was

487
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: one with Felix. Felix the housecat on it or not housecat,

488
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: that's the DJ's and at Felix on It, they're like

489
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties cartoon character, maybe nineteen seventies, I'm not sure.

490
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: And their TGI F one had a strawberry filling and

491
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: a strawberry frosting. That's the one I tried. And then

492
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Felix had like this spicy mango one. And they have

493
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: gluten free treats too. I just ignored the fact that

494
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: I was gluten free that day because you can see

495
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: they've got like gluten free berry scone, They've got gluten

496
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: free chocolate cookies. There's gluten free donuts and gluten free muffins.

497
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: But again, I was like, popped out, ooh, popped ut.

498
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: So got strawberry popped out. I actually got that to

499
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: go to have later for the meeting. I got an

500
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: oat milk latte hot. Still you can't do hot lattes here.

501
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why I did it. And I got

502
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: a cinnamon scroll with lemon frosting and they heat it

503
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: up so it's all melted. That was epic, like epic. Ah.

504
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Another thing, I went for a hike with a friend,

505
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: my new friend Sam, and he said, oh, you know,

506
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about how delicious charge our matcher is,

507
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: which you know I've been talking about a little bit

508
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: where you get your lavender CBITD drink and they put

509
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: a shot a match in it and you make it

510
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: on macedamie and milk. And he said, if you tried

511
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: the soft serve, and I was like, come again, he's

512
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: I could. We tried the soft serve and so I

513
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: got a soft serve which is like half that lavender

514
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: and CBD and then the other half of the swirl

515
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: is Matcher. It's insane, but like it does have sugar

516
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: one hundred percent and even the drinks have sugar. I've

517
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: done a little bit of research, so I know that

518
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: for sure. I told you I went in and out,

519
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't I. And I'm just looking at the carrot cake

520
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: that I got from and one it's actually got like

521
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: it's a big slice. It's got icing down the backside,

522
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: icing on the top, and then it's got two levels

523
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: of icing on the inside. Very good. Have I done

524
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: all my food stuff for you? I'm just checking, checking, checking. Yeah, okay,

525
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: So we'll quickly talk self How am I going for time? Oh?

526
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Good one, Laura, you're already thirty minnows. I'll quickly talk

527
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: self care. And then I went to downtown La. Okay,

528
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: I maybe I to talk downtown La first. So we

529
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: went to a famous match a place. Isabel got this

530
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: thing where they do it's called a match a cloud,

531
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: and they put this like creamy cashew cream thing in

532
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: the top of your matcher that tastes really sweet and delicious.

533
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: I just got a cold brew black coffee because that's

534
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of my favorite thing to get here and also

535
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: slowly trying to be healthier. And then she got a

536
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: match one and then a strawberry one. Both looked amazing

537
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: again outdoor seating. And this was at a place called

538
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Tilt really good. Then we went to the Last Bookstore,

539
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: which is a famous LA bookstore. I think it's been

540
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: going since. It's really really famous and iconic, and there's

541
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: like a big like Harry Potter, the Last book Store

542
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: last An it's shuts because it's too early. Everything in

543
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: La opens frigging late. It's nine it's nine to twenty

544
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: here am doesn't open till eleven am. How funny I'm

545
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: trying to It's an iconic Los Angeles bookshop. Yeah, I

546
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: just want to know. I should just type in wiki

547
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: should know. It's like it's huge, Like you could spend

548
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: all day in there if you wanted to. Okay, I

549
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: got wiki up. It's got this tunnel made of books.

550
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: You really feel like you're on the set of Harry Potter.

551
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: And it's got a room that is just for true crime,

552
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: which I stopped myself buying anythings. I was like, oh,

553
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: just dream of being murdered here, which I don't want

554
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: to do. California's largest, largest new and news bookstore. Oh,

555
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: it was found in two thousand and five. I thought

556
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: for sure it'd be like older than that. The first

557
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: incarnation was downtown Los Angeles Loft they sold books and

558
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: other things online only then focused on books, opened a

559
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: small books or December two thousand and nine on Main Street.

560
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: They moved to their current incarnation, which is the Spring

561
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Arts Tower, which is where we went. The current bookstore

562
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: is a former bank with books on two levels, including

563
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: a former vault. Yes, in the vault. We walked into

564
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: the vault. That's like a proper temperature controlled room with

565
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: like really old books. Vox reported. The store creates visual

566
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: merchandising through creative displays, in which attracts Instagram newsers. They've

567
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: said in the hope of trying to convert Instagram visitors

568
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: to book purchases. Well, that was probably me, wasn't it,

569
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: getting all the instant snaps? Who Acting School's going good.

570
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm actually a bit nervous. I'm putting up a monologue today,

571
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: a Rosie o'donnal monologue. She speaks, I've just jumped from

572
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: downtown LA to acting school. Pause, Acting school, back to

573
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: downtown LA. We also did the Angels Flight railway, which

574
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: is really famous from a scene from Lalla Land. You

575
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: see Ryan Gosling Emmastone having a little pash off on

576
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: the rail. I think it's been around since nineteen eleven.

577
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: It's like a thirty second ride. You just you could

578
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: totally walk it, and it just it's out the front

579
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: of the Grand Market across the road from that. So

580
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: if you're in downtown La, you go to Grand Market.

581
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: So much great food. I got a delicious green juice

582
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: from a place called The Juice, and I think isabel

583
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: got like a watermelon and grapefruit one. And then across

584
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: the road we went on this little tram ride and

585
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: it was called Yeah, Angel's Flight Railway. Really cute and

586
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: you get nice little views of downtown. When you get

587
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: to the top, you have a little walk around and

588
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: then you can either walk down or you jump back

589
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: on the tram, which, of course we did. Another thing

590
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: about like the homeless situation in downtown. Isabel was like,

591
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: can we please help and feed a few people? And

592
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: I was like, yep, sure, no worries, and we just

593
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: like literally walk as we're walking into our car. We

594
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: just walked into like an old porto, like a Mexican

595
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: takeaway shop, and there were people sleeping out the front

596
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: of it, and so we just got a few meals

597
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: and handed them out. That all Isabelle's idea I was

598
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: just their hand, a router her and the chatter. Some

599
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: people want to chat, some people absolutely do not want

600
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: to chat, and so yeah, it was a little bit confronting,

601
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: but it was also I'm glad that she did it.

602
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: I would not have done it. I'm probably gonna sound

603
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: like a horrible person, but I probably wouldn't have done

604
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: it on my own, just out of like a safety

605
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: precaution thing. But she was adamant. So it was cool

606
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: to see someone just be like, yep, we're gonna go

607
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and buy some people some lunch. Now. It was really

608
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: cool and it was really nice to be a part of.

609
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: It's also it's sad to see how full on it

610
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: is here, which is like what I was saying at

611
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: the start of the combo. Here cool, Okay, acting school.

612
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: Acting school is really cool. Had a first star in

613
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: class this this I've been auditing Avana. I didn't last

614
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: night because my car has been missing a battery. But yeah,

615
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: I was auditing last week and Vanna's like, oh, congrats,

616
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: So and so you're in a movie and I was like,

617
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, who is this? And I had some googling.

618
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: Is like off Hunger Games and Vikings I don't know.

619
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I get the vibum. I'm not allowed to disclose much.

620
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: It's a very like no phones policy there. So I'm

621
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: just trying to like be respectful. But it is cool

622
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: to feel like you're in the melting pot of people

623
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: doing great things, if that makes sense. So yeah, very cool.

624
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Very nervous to put my monologue up today. I'll give

625
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: you a little taste. But it's rose o'donald, so it's

626
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: like fast, it's punchy. I'll probably get like people being like,

627
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: you're not doing the accent right or do like two lines? Okay,

628
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: it's from a movie called Beautiful Girls. I like a

629
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: nineties movie. Hey, you're both fucking insane. You want to

630
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: know what your problem is? MTV Playboy and Madison fucking Avenue. Yeah,

631
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: let me explain something to you. Okay, girls of big

632
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: tits have big asses, girls of little tits have little asses.

633
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: That's a weir girls. God doesn't fuck around. He's a

634
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: fair guy. There you go, says at a little taste.

635
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: It's really hard to say girls with an American accent

636
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: because they use erotic r and we don't girls girls anyway,

637
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: Have I done everything on this list? Downtown La acting school. Oh,

638
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: I have missed one thing self care. I had my

639
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: first ever Korean massage and scrub. It was amazing. Basically

640
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: they like you. They literally shower you, soap, you wash you,

641
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: and then you have this full blown body scrub, hair

642
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: wash and then massage with CBD oil. Really cool, really nice.

643
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Skin felt so nice and soft afterwards, and really really nice.

644
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: It's a treat though it's quite dear. I was like, wow,

645
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: that's a bit more than back home. But it was

646
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: a really nice experience and I felt so like zen

647
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: and chill, probably because the massage was done with CBD,

648
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: which was really good, really cool. I also have had

649
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: nails done since I last spoke to you, for the

650
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: first time in probably years, honestly, like I stopped getting

651
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: my nails done right before COVID, so yep, that'd be

652
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: over a year now. While and truly, and this is

653
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: going to sound like overshare, but I had to get

654
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: a wax. Oh jeepers. I really missed Brazilian butterflies where

655
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: I go in Australia, and yeah, every time I go

656
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: to LA and get a wax, it is always an adventure.

657
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: And I ended up in a broom what felt like

658
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: a broom closet getting away and the wax turns out

659
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: it was too hot where it was full on. It

660
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: was quite the experience and all up the whole thing.

661
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: So just regular polish on my nails and toenails and

662
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: fingernails and a Brazilian wax. Pretty sure. It cost me

663
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: like one hundred and sixty eight bucks, So one hundred

664
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: and seventy bucks US. That's like two hundred and fifty

665
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: bucks Australian, so super expensive in comparison to back home.

666
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: So some stuff's really cheap here, like food, clothing is cheaper,

667
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: especially if you go to like a Target, it's like

668
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: really really cheap, and commodities are kind of like a

669
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: little bit cheaper. But yeah, some stuff like I've spent yeah,

670
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: two hundred US on about car battery and like getting

671
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: nails and a wax which usually in Australia you can,

672
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: like a wax for me is forty bucks in Australia.

673
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: Here it would have been heaps and it was yeah,

674
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: not fun. I feel like we're really getting close in

675
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: this chat. I feel like I really just let the

676
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: filter down and I am being very open and honest

677
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: with you. Are the goals. Hopefully by next week I

678
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: will have definitely booked into phase one of my driver's license,

679
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: so I've looked into it. I've got to do a

680
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: learners permit first and then the real McCoy like a

681
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: driving test, So it's a lot of paperwork too. Because

682
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm on a short term lease, it's a bit tricky,

683
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: but I'm determined to find a way to do it,

684
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: and I want to do that before I speak to

685
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: you next week. I also really really want to go

686
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: to Universal. It'll depend on availabilities and whatnot. And what

687
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: else do I want to do before I speak to

688
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: you next Well, I will have put this monologue up,

689
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping I feel a little bit less stressed

690
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: out about putting it up and a little bit more

691
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: like whoo I did it? Also really want to hike

692
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: to Panga and as many hikes as I can. I

693
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing the same one like I keep

694
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: doing the Griffith Park Observatory one because it's right near

695
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: my home and it's so fun and I did it

696
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: on my own the other day and I've done since

697
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I last spoke to you, run in with a mate

698
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 1: and so where we really want to do some more hikes.

699
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: And there is a cinema I want to check out

700
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: in the Hollywood Graveyard. It's meant to be like pretty iconic.

701
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: I'd really like to do that too. All right, there's

702
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: the la aupdate. Oh far out. I promised your book

703
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: review and I still haven't given it to you. Here goo,

704
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a book review this week.

705
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people asking for apologies. This is a

706
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: long episode Breath by James Nesta. It's incredible. It is

707
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: literally about the lost art of breathing. I'm pretty sure

708
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: that is the new science of a lost art. I

709
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: am over the halfway mark. Now. You kind of want

710
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: to read it slowly because it is science y and

711
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: it is everything is explained. But it talks about how

712
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: we should be taking less breaths, how we should be

713
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: primarily being a nose breather, not a mouth breede either.

714
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: It talks about exercise and how different athletes use breath

715
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: to excel. And when I was hiking the other day,

716
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: I was like trying to practice it. It's freaking hard.

717
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: And then he like, there's chapters on chewing. There's chapters

718
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: on like he talks about like the right amount. I

719
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: think it's carbon dioxide in the in the body, like

720
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: it's really full of I hope I'm saying that right.

721
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: Hang on, let me see. So the chapters are broken

722
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 1: down into the nose, so nose breathing. Now I feel

723
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: like I'm like, have i been mouth breathing this whole time? No,

724
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm nose breathing. Talking at the power of the exhale

725
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: to slow down, to breathe less chewing. That's from up

726
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: to and then part three breathing more on occasion, holding

727
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: it fast, slow, not at all the last gasp epilogues,

728
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: So I haven't got to that bit yet, so I'm

729
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: about to enter the third part. I read part one

730
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: and I've read part two, so part one is where

731
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: he puts his an experiment on himself and blocks his

732
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: nose and it sounds horrible and because where the worst

733
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: breathe is in the animal Kingdom apparently, and how bad

734
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: mouth breathing is for really really interesting. If you're into

735
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: like whim half and breath work, definitely read this. It's

736
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: a great read. Yeah, I'm a fan, and I think

737
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: it's really handy for acting school stuff too, and just

738
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: being connected to yourself, so over the halfway mark, determined

739
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: to finish that really, really soon because I really want

740
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: to get onto. I've got a couple more books I

741
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: want to get onto and then buy some newies for

742
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: quarantine of course. All right, my friends, Big Love from

743
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: la very honest chat today. I hope that resonates with people.

744
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to sugarcoat anything. I hope if you're

745
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: in Sydney, Melbourne or Byron or wherever is lockdown right

746
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: now that you're hanging in there. Boss obviously is technically well,

747
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: we're very much together, but he's living on his own,

748
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: so you know, I really hope that the Boss can

749
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: get a little pod friend soon, so that not a

750
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,080

00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: hang with so that he's got human contact. But we're

752

00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: to a lot of other little homes, so he'd be

Speaker 1: seeing people a little bit for sure that we live

755
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,480
