8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: to your Diary podcast. Unexpectedly so I'm recording this podcast

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: from my old teenage bedroom in Malbs, Melbourne, because we

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: went to fly out back home to Byron a couple

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: of nights ago and flight got canceled. I think, not

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: just my flight, but I think on the airline I

13
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: was on, I was on Vergin. I think like eleven

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: got canceled that night and a lot of us got

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: a few days. So, yeah, coming to you from Mals.

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: So basically in the last week or the week that

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: was boss it was my birthday last time I spoke

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: to you. Then it was Bossco's birthday and we'velew down

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: to Melbourne for a few things. Podcasts literally got in

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the beautiful gang at aarn had set up a studio

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: or podcast studio for us to record and interview to

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: Melbourne based guests. She's on the Money, Victoria Devine and

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Tully Smyth. So those epps will come out pretty soon

24
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: and literally straight from the podcast studios or actually it's

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: this amazing podcast studio within the radio station. So back

26
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: when I used to talk on radio about health and wellness,

27
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: I used to rock up to Arn and Kiss and

28
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: do little radio health segments. But they've now built this

29
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: whole podcast studio which was incredible and then let me

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: borrow it for a few hours. So thank you so

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: much Aarn and I Heart, which is who I'm partnered

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: with now. They really looked after me, and I'm really

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: excited because I've got a Sydney trip coming up and

34
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I've got some more pods lined up that I'm recording there.

35
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: So getting back into the swing of recording Ozzie guests.

36
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: You'll still be hearing a lot of American recorded guests

37
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: coming out as well. I'm trying to pep them through

38
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: so that it's a combo of Ossie's and Americana stories.

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Monday's guest Just Gone was with David Higgs. Incredible celebrity

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: photographer and fashion photographer who's Melbourne born and bred or

41
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: like Victorian country born and bread and now lives in

42
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and part Montana. Really cool guy. If you're

43
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: into ranch life as well. We take a Dell's down

44
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: that route when we get chatting too, so I'll give

45
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: you a little Melb's update. So we did that the

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: recording at Arn. Then I literally printed to the dentist

47
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: because I get all my teeth done in Melbourne. The

48
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: next day was Bossco's birthdays, so we had a birthday

49
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: brunch with our dear friend Bill at this place in

50
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Collingwood called Terror Twilight. Highly recommend it. They have nootropic

51
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: so like medicinal mushrooms and MCTA oil and whatnot that

52
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: they can add to your coffee or chai. Boss always

53
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: gets the Relaxo mix and I get like the mental

54
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: focus and clarity mix, and we both get added to

55
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: a chai so yummy. I get this Japanese egg breakfast

56
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: that I love. Boss and Bill both got this kind

57
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: of ruben looking sandwich that was massive, like two meals

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: in one delicious. And then from then we checked out

59
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: a bakery that's apparently all the rage. It's called I

60
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: think it's called Frank, and it's just down the road

61
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: from Terror Twilight, so also in Collingwood. Then I got

62
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: my hair done. I always get my hair done in Malbs.

63
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: My cut up, funnily enough, also called Frank, has been

64
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: cutting my hair since I was thirteen. I did a

65
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: few when I was in my early thirties. I did

66
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: a couple of influencer like hair deals back in the day,

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, I remember I was doing influencer

68
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: stuff for this one hair place, and I really wanted

69
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: to cut my hair short. And I think they needed

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: me to be that long mermaid hair influencer, and so

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I really really want to go short.

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: So I found my old cutter and hair haircutter it's

73
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: quite a funny word, isn't that cutter? And sort him out.

74
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: And I haven't looked back like so that's why I

75
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: went really really short a little while ago, I know,

76
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, a year ago and now,

77
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: oh and now I'm brunette anyway, been wanting to do

78
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: that pray just wanted to try the like then I'm

79
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: naturally blonde, so I wanted to try the blue eyed

80
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: brown hair thing and I'm loving it so far. So

81
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: did that, and then we went out for dinner to

82
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: celebrate Matt's birthday. We went to this place in Paran

83
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: called Neptune, Beautiful wine Bar, beautiful menu. Matt and his

84
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: bestie Rache got this like crab pasta. I got Sydney

85
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: rock oysters and Brussels sprouts, so yeah, pick the nutrition nest.

86
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Of course, they also got the I think Kingfish savich

87
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: and they got like there's a Negroni special going on

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: there at the moment that supports the charity Polish Man,

89
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: which I've done work with before and had polish Man

90
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: ambassadors on here before on the pod before as well.

91
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: But that was really fun. I got a really yummy

92
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: peano and one. And then the next day, so that

93
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: was Friday night. The next day we got up, had

94
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: brecky with Dad at his favorite local cafe in ourscot Vail,

95
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: which is where he lives, and we got all got

96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: this chai porridge and coffees together. I must I do

97
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: love Melbourne coffee, like a beautiful long black or an

98
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Armond latte m m mmmm. The only thing that I

99
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: must say in lay you can ask for stevia to sweeten,

100
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: which is a really healthy natural sweetener and it's not

101
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: as common here, so I've literally been packing my own

102
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: sachets of stevia and adding it to an armored larde.

103
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Is that weird? Am I crazy for doing that? Probably? All? Right?

104
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Then we quickly met our mate David, actually David the medium,

105
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: who I've interviewed twice on this podcast, or interviewed once

106
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: and then he came on and did a true crime

107
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: lay episode and so then we went for a coffee

108
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: with David at a place called Journeyman imparant delicious. Matt

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: loves the food there, but we will kind of fall

110
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: from eating with Dad earlier. So we had a lovely

111
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: catch up with David and then I got my eyebrows done.

112
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Oh mate, listen to all this beauty stuff. I'm not

113
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: a beauty person at all, but like when I'm in Melbourne,

114
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: because it's where I'm from, it's just so easy to

115
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: catch up on it all. Then we went to bram

116
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Market to get some snacks because we were about to

117
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: embark on a drive to Shepperdon where I gave a

118
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: talk on the Sunday. So we went to this place

119
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, if you're ever at param Market, do

120
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: yourself a favor and go to this stall called Sweet Greek.

121
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: We were able to get like Matt got roast chicken

122
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: and veggies, all cooks. We were able to eat in

123
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the car as like a little you know, road snack,

124
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: a lunch on the go, and I got again Brussels

125
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: sprouts and a pumpkin spinach salad. So good. And then

126
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: for dessert, we both got two back lubbers in the

127
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: shape of cigars, you know, the long skinny ones. Oh

128
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: my goodness, so so good. And I got a gluten

129
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: free raspberry muffin cake thing that used to be my

130
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: favorite thing to get when I was in Malbs when

131
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I lived here. That would be my favorite place to

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: get treats. Sweet Greek at Param Market. You won't regret it.

133
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: Then we drove all the way to shepherds It was

134
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: about two and a half hour drive and we checked in.

135
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: We just stayed at Quest in Shepperdon and I had

136
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: to be on site by eight am the next morning,

137
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: so we literally just went to like the local woolies.

138
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Oh discovered some great chocolate. So Cabri isn't is an

139
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Australian thing doesn't exist in America. You can't get it.

140
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: That might be British as well. I don't know, but

141
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Kra Milk and Marvelous Creations have made a Karra Milk

142
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Marlo's Creations comboat. It's ten out of ten. What else?

143
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: We tried another chocolate. Cabri've also released a birthday cake

144
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: and we thought on what it's on birthdays? We've had

145
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: tried a birthdayake, not as delish, definitely the Marvelous Karra

146
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Milk one and is probably on part with the hokey

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: pokey Karra Milk. And oh. The next day we tried

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: different chocolate because when we got stranded, we were like,

149
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: let's eat our emotions, okay, So then we did that.

150
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: We watched The Dark Knight Rises, great fun show. Women

151
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: were in the hotel room and then I had to

152
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: be on site at eight am. I was m seeing

153
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: the event. I was actually quite nervous because usually I

154
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: do like twenty minutes kind of like speaking gigs as

155
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: opposed to m seeing a whole day. It's a little

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: bit nervous. I like to be off book, but I

157
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: wasn't off book in this scenario, which means like word perfect,

158
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: but because things are always changing and I little things

159
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: like they'd be hiccup, and so I'd kind of like help,

160
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: or like a speaker would go up and be like

161
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: can you come on stage with me? So there were

162
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: a little like you're kind of just like rolling with

163
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: the punches as you go kind of thing, which is

164
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: really fun. But I loved. My favorite bit of the

165
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: whole day was I got to host this panel with

166
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: these three boys or guys that own like gyms in Sheperdin.

167
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: So it was a wellness event. It was called the

168
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Health and Wellness Event Shepperdon and it was this whole

169
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: wellness day, different speakers from all over, but I amc

170
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I got to do a panel

171
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: with these like local business owner guys and they just

172
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: were unreal, no filter, no monarchy, just like straight down

173
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: the line, and it was kind of really refreshing and

174
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: raw and I really liked it. And then Boss and

175
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I kind of got in the car, drove back to Malbs,

176
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: had one hour to kill. Went to our favorite Mexican

177
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: place called Lato Teria that's in Kensington. So so good.

178
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: The fish tacos a ten out of ten. Got some

179
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Guoq even got a piece of Flann Birthday week clearly

180
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: in full swing, continued and then head to the airport,

181
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: returned the higher car. Sitting down at the airport, Boss

182
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: is getting so good at flaing, but he does get

183
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous, so he was like calming himself.

184
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm there reading my book, and we got there really

185
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: early because I figure the more stress you can take

186
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: out of it, the better. And Matt went up to

187
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: get a tea or something, and he goes Boss, and

188
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, he goes, our flight's canceled, and you

189
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: just see the whole lounge empty out. So everyone's flights

190
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: almost got canceled, I'd say, and and you know you're

191
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: quickly calling this number to see what flight you can

192
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: get on. And they put us on a flight two

193
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: days later. Anyway, long story short, luckily Dad was in town,

194
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: picked us up, brought us home. I said, Dad, we

195
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: need to quickly get a few things from wal Worst.

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Of course I got some more chocolate. So there's this

197
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: new other. I didn't expect this episode to be a

198
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: chocolate tour of Australia, but another Cabri combo that's come

199
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: out it's like a Boys and Berry Swell. It's almost

200
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: got Turkish light vibes because the boys and Berry bits

201
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: like jelly in the middle with cream around it. And

202
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: then it's got like a marble coating again, Boys and

203
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: Berry Swirl. I'm pretty sure it's called so good. I

204
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: would go as far as say, better than the marvelous

205
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: creation Karra Milk. So I'd say the two best cabres

206
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: you can get are the Boys and Berry Swirl and

207
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: Hokey Pokey carame Milk, I'd say. And then I got

208
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: a caramel a Kuala because back in Australia, why not.

209
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: So I went on a real sugar bender for a

210
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: couple of days, and I'm trying to get back on track,

211
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: and it's hard because the sugar cravings are here thick

212
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: and than fast. But hopefully we're trying to fly again tonight,

213
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: so hopefully we get back to Byron tonight. Had to

214
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: obviously cancel our plans. We'd had a birthday taco night

215
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: planned and all that kind of jazz, and you know,

216
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: meetings catch up. So I mean it's totally fine. You

217
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: just got to be a bit flexible, don't you. Just

218
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: some reviews for you, boss, and I have binge watched

219
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: the new Heartbreak High. It's awesome. We've got a mate

220
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: in it, Josh Houston, who plays the character Dusty. So

221
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see people you care about shining

222
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: and succeeding and doing really, really well. It feels like

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: if I could tell you what heartbreak this Heartbreak High.

224
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: Even when I was younger, I feel like I was

225
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: too young for the old Heartbreak High. So maybe I

226
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know how many years it's been between the original

227
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: one with Drasic, you know and whatnot. So this Heartbreak High.

228
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: If I think about, like what's inspired thematically, I would

229
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: say Euphoria. There's definitely like a nod to Rivedal with

230
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot of scenes shot in a diner, and it

231
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: probably would would have. It's got a bit of Matt Reckins,

232
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: a bit of like puby blues driven when they did

233
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: that remake probably like seven years ago or so with

234
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Eazy Cornish, so it's got this It's very Australian. It

235
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: feels like it's designed for an Australian audience, but also

236
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: an American or you know, a more global audience as well.

237
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: They're like cutaways of bin chickens and funny things like that.

238
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: So they're like very it feels very Australian to watch,

239
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: but it's really cool. There's some also some of the

240
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: parents are played by pretty prominent Australian actors, and there's

241
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: like some really funny like Australian vernacular in there, like

242
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: a rack off and all that kind of thing. They

243
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: also touch on on things that are touched on in

244
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: shows like Euphoria in this so like they talk about

245
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: like neurodiversity. There's a character that's got autism. There's like

246
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: they're touching on like gender and how parents are like

247
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: the like the boomer generation. Am I allowed to say

248
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: the boomer generation, but like are learning about like non

249
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: binary and pronouns, and so you're seeing that, like that's

250
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of like tackled in it as well, drugs, bullying, abuse, sex,

251
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Like they kind of touch on quite a lot of

252
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: like very current topics. So yeah, let me know what

253
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: you think. It was fun boss and I fully bins

254
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: it and loved watching it, And it was cool because

255
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: you kind of get invested in the different kind of

256
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: like relationships and you're kind of like going for certain

257
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: relationships you want to fly but it is like teenagers

258
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: are complicated, and I feel like they really conveyed that

259
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: well in Heartbreak Eye. It felt like complicated teenagers. Another

260
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: review for you, I've just finally finished reading Boycewallows Universe

261
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: by Trent Dalton. It's basically about it's true story as

262
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: far as I'm all like, partly true. It's I think

263
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: about his childhood, the author's childhood. It's literally about growing

264
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: up in Queensland, but in the heroine drug triangle from

265
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: what I can gather, and yeah, you get to see

266
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: life from the perspective of a young boy. It's still

267
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: a coming of age like Hero's Journey book in the

268
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: sense that he's really young at the start and by

269
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: the end, I think he's nineteen and starting to, you know,

270
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: become a man or really become an adult, and I

271
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: think you get to see the growth and the journey

272
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: all through this kid's eyes. Really interesting, really good book,

273
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: really good read. There'd be some meaty characters. I do

274
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: know they're shooting it in Australia at the moment, so

275
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a I think it's gonna

276
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: be a Netflix movie. I think that's out for the

277
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: world to know now and yeah, really Curl loved it.

278
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: It's not my usual genre. I love a binge If

279
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read fiction, I love a binge book, which

280
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: is like either like a psychological thriller or I love

281
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: like crime fiction as well. You know, I've interviewed Candice

282
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Fox before, who's an incredible crime fiction writer. But this

283
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: was a really nice departure from that. This felt more

284
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: like Australian fiction and it's yeah, obviously got the theme

285
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: of heroin. I guess you would say, all like a

286
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: drug world in Australia. Here's some of the there's like

287
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: little lines about it from you know, people that have

288
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: read it, like The Guardian and the Cydney Morning Herald.

289
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Sydney Morning Herald has said the best Australian novel I

290
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: have read in more than a decade. Better Reading has

291
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: said funny, tender and raw dot dot dot wonderful. The

292
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Guardian has said extraordinary and beautiful storytelling. The Adelaide advisor

293
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: has said the writing is glorious because it's written through

294
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: this boy's perspective, and that's what's really nice. He's your hero,

295
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: he's you know, your protagonists, he's who you're going for.

296
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: So it's a good read. I'm going to lend it.

297
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to lend it to Dad next.

298
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I love reading a book and

299
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: then kind of like lending it to somebody. What am

300
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: I going to read next? I'm still reading my nonfiction

301
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: How to Save the Cat about screenwriting, so I think

302
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I want to get through that. And then I've been

303
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: recommended a book that I might look for at the

304
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: airport tonight, I think, so if I start that, I'll

305
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: let you know. I've also just got a little list

306
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: here that i haven't even checked. Oh my goodness, I've
