22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,480

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Summertime for sure. I have been in Santa Monica for

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and I'm heading back to

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Brentwood this week. So next time I chin wag with

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: you or be in beautiful Brentwood, which is not too

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: far from Santa Monica. They're both West areas. I've got

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: lots of diary stuff to check in. I just had

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: a little sugar free treat actually, and that was the

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: packet from it. But I feel like I've collected a

31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of other packets. Oh I have. Can you hear that?

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: That is my new addiction from Trader Joe's. That is

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: not unhealthy, but it's also like fur real, not the

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, healthiest option ever, but it could be a

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: lot worse. So the let's start with the food reviews

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: and then I'll give you the week that was. So

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: this is this brand I keep telling you about Alani Gummies.

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: I don't think they're in Australia, but they have got

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: eighty calories and they're they're using plant fibers essentially to

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: make them sweet and a little bit of STEVI are

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: in there, but no sugars. How good? Less than two

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: grams of sugar, seven grams of dietary fiber, tiny, little,

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: just snack sized. I was getting some wrapping paper because

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm organizing a surprise pressy for a mate and got

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: some great alpaca wrapping paper from Target. And then I

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: saw them and I was like, do you know what?

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to have them? The other thing, I'm addicted

48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's Sweet and Spicy peacans. Oh honestly so peacans. Yep,

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: pound of sugar, canola oil. Gotta be careful of seed oils, spices,

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: clean sugar, and salt. But it's a spice salt combo

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: that they appse absolutely nail, absolutely nail, my friends, wrighty oh,

52
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: this week's stary. I'm in acting school. I'm literally about

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: to go there now. So if I sound a little

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: bit anxious, that is why I always getting nervous when

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: I go there. In fact, I usually spend the day

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: that I go to acting school in American dialect, and

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: I've probably spent half the day in dialect. I've not

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: in dialect for you, right, now, and I had one

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: phone call with a friend and I wasn't in dialect

60
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: for that. The rest of the day has been a

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to America dialect. And I've got to put up

62
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: a monologue tonight and then a two handed scene. So

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: the two handed scene is from a sitcom multiicam sitcom set,

64
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: and the single cam is the monologue, so they're written differently.

65
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: The spacing on the paper is different. Very cool, very

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: call to learn all of this. But class usually goes

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: till about midnight, so I'm preparing for a mighty late

68
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: night ahead of me. I've got my eggs on the boil,

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: I've got my head of marmaise ready to go, and

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm just I'm not really hungry because I

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: got to here's the thing to go from the West Side,

72
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: which is like Santa Monica, Malibu, Brentwood, any of these

73
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: kind of like west suburbs. Right, it takes so long

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to get to Hollywood in peak hour, so what should

75
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: be a thirty five minute trip takes about an hour fifteen,

76
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: So I'm not ready for dinner. But by the time

77
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I get there and I'm about to do like an

00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: I'll find out what episode she is for you. It's

84

91
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: is on my list? I also had a Sweet Greens

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: salad yesterday. My boss at work, you know, I work

93
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: at a yoga stuo got it for me. I got

94
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: the guacamole salad, very good. Sweet Greens is a chain

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: here in LA so you can get it and it's

96
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: really kind of like if you're on the run and

97
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: you want something healthy, Sweet Greens is great and you

98
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: can tailor any of you can make alterations to any

99
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: of them as well. But the guac salad's great because

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I love a little bit of Mexicana. You know. I

101
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: start teaching Yin in two weeks, which is really really exciting.

102
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: I have also discovered the Santa Monica farmers' markets. I

103
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: thought that were only a Saturday morning thing. Now I

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: usually work Saturday morning, and I only discovered them because

105
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I had acting school one Saturday and had to give

106
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: up my morning shift to make it to class. But

107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I was up really early out walking and stumbled across

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: the farmer's market. Thought it was only a Saturday thing.

109
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Turns out at Saturday and Wednesdays. Went there again today

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: accidentally on my big beach walk, got myself some fresh

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: dahlias dahlias Delilah's dahlias. I believe they're called ten dollars

112
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: a bunch or three for twenty five, So of course

113
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: I had to get the three for twenty five. AUP

114
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: sold me, didn't they just so farmer's market on Santa Monica.

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's on third and Arizona. Look it up.

116
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Great farmers market, huge farmers market. I really wanted to

117
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: get some fresh peaches and berries and stuff. But because

118
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: I've only got a couple more days in Santa Monica,

119
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: probably not going to get through all that food. So

120
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: I'll flick to the Brentwood Farmers Market, which I think

121
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: is on every Sunday. I'll flick to that in due

122
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: course in a week's time when I check in with you,

123
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure i'll be able to report back if I

124
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: haven't been, or we'll be going the next the following week.

125
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: So for me, what's been going on in LA is

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: literally pretty much acting school and work. There've been the

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: two things that I've been doing. I am doing a

128
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: voice class next week, so hopefully I'll be able to

129
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: check in with you about that. And then I've just

130
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: found out today I've been accepted into the next level

131
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: of this acting school. So I'm just trying to decide.

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, the workload is huge. It's really really heavy,

133
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: so I'm just trying to find out if I've got

134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: enough bandwidth to do it to get like do another

135
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: whole month, but I kind of want to, you know.

136
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: And then for any theater nerds out there, there's a

137
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: cool John Patrick Shanley thing happening here in LA soon,

138
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: which I'm really excited to go to that's me, Gangles,

139
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: that's me. I'm a little bit nervous because of skill,

140
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: and I get really nervous. I do get really really nervous.

141
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Not so much dialect nervous because I've got all my

142
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: like vowel, like my homework. I can you know she

143
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: was seen to be evil in the min streets where

144
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: bees feed and schemes are the key, Like got all

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: my vowel warmups like that, like trigger phrases. So it's

146
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: not so much the dialect. It's more comedy is pasty.

147
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: So it's really fast, and this is a comedy class.

148
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: And so you've got to know your lines, but you can't.

149
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: You gotta like you don't want to drop your lines,

150
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: but you gotta want to keep the pace up. It's

151
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a bit like a tennis match. So I'm like Wanta

152
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: in my monologue. I should try and do it because

153
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to put it up. Let's see if i

154
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: can remember it all. I've got no scripts in front

155
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: of me. It is scary. You want to know why

156
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: your fiance left you, John, she left you because you're

157
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: a pussy. You're a giant, fucking pussy. I've been sitting

158
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: here listening to what seems like a fucking eternity, and

159
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: you're not actually that nice. You're just a coward who's

160
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: scared of people not liking you. There is a huge difference.

161
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Girls don't want to pussy John. They already have one

162
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: right between their legs. Girls want a man who's respectful,

163
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: but who's also not afraid to say fuck you. You're crazy, bitch.

164
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fold your laundry six different ways because

165
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: I'm a man and men don't do shit like that.

166
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: Stand your ground, articulate what you want, and accept the consequences.

167
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Real men do that every fucking day. Oh. In another thing,

168
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: men don't cry. Girls like it when John Brady cries

169
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: because he's a man who handles his business on and

170
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: off the field, So when he cries, it shows us

171
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: an exciting new dimension of his personality. When a pussy

172
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: like you cries, it only confirms to us how weak

173
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: men have become, and that saddens us. Ah, did it,

174
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: guys pes? Obviously I don't agree with that opinion. This

175
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: was written in like the late nineties, early two thousands,

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: and it's a bit not satire, but obviously like it's

177
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: a very specific viewpoint of one person's viewpoint on men.

178
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I do not agree. I love I love a crier,

179
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: I love a tear and emotionally available man. Bs. That's

180
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: a monologue. And then I've got a truehand a scene

181
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: where essentially it's a husband and wife's scene. Have to

182
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: kiss in the scenes, so that's gonna be a fun one. Tonight.

183
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Last week had to struddle, had to struddle for a

184
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: boyfriend girlfriend scene. This week got a kiss. I'm guessing

185
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: it'll be a peck on the cheek hopefully. But she says,

186
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: she's like, what's the line where she does the kids?

187
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 1: She kisses him, and then she goes, I couldn't have

188
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: had other men, you know, but I picked you, so

189
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: don't blow it. And then she goes on to say,

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: like she's talking about she thinks that their mutual friend

191
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: has a crush on her, and she's like, well, I

192
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I call it a crush exactly, but

193
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, it is kind of flattering. And then she

194
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: quickly realizes that the crush isn't on her, it's on

195
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: her best friend. And she's like, what casey, oh, now,

196
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: what where'd you hear that trust me, Casey is the

197
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: last person neither would want to go on a date with,

198
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, like so very funny, and then she realizes

199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: she's very jealous. So that is me. That is me.

200
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: All set for skill tonight. Think you're amazing, Think you noms.

201
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: I hope you've got a ripper weekend plan for if

202
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you're listening to this on a Friday. If not, no,

203
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: no problems. I hope the day ahead or the next

204
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: day is ripper. My roomy here taught me a great saying,

205
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: So if I ever have a crap day, there's a saying,

206
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: and it's like then the next day is a fresh
