I've 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: interviewed people where we haven't had a studio space, and 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: we've sat in my car before the beautiful Kira Rumble 60 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: we did that I picked up from the airport when 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: I lived in Melbourne and we sat in my car. 62 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: Great acoustics in a car. By the way, if you're 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: thinking of doing a podcast one day, So like I'm 64 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: going to share with you, like the highs and the lows, 65 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: and the successes and the failures of this podcast.

When it's a celebration of the pod and 71 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: what has happened over the last four years. And I'm 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: not going to rap it on too long. I just 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: thought we need to say, celebrate four hundred episodes. That 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: is a huge milestone and the pod is such a 75 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: moving beast, like things change. We now have three episodes 76 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: a week. We now bring out a hot seat on 77 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: a Wednesday, you know. And I will say, like there 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: are some big challenges, like being in LA and not 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: knowing many people. It's really hard to get consistent guests 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: and consistent guess at the caliber of guests that we've 81 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: been getting in Australia. So it's been I mean, it's 82 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: really exciting because I've got three guests on hold right now, 83 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: but they're not booked and everyone's got busy schedules and 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: it's not an easy thing to remedy, so we have it. 85 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: That is a little bit of the pod, and I 86 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: want to give you a bit behind the scenes, Like 87 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: right now, I'm staying with my lovely friends in La 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I am recording this in the bedroom. Bedroom is a 89 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: great place to record, especially if you're sitting like me 90 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: on the doner and you know, the sound is good. 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: Sound quality is huge. I am so lucky because, as 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: you know Bossco aka Matt, he is not only a 93 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: podcast who's also a composer and a music a music 94 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: producer and a sound engineer as well. But because he 95 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: has this skill set, he is usually able to fix 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: any glitch that we ever have with sound. And I 97 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: feel so so lucky Bosco, to have you on my team. 98 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: And I just want to say thank you to you. 99 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: If you do listen to this, I think you're amazing 100 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: and I love you very much. But yeah, so, like 101 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: sound quality is something that we've really had to work with, 102 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: especially when we recording by and Bay. Yes, we have 103 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: a studio, like at the second room of our place 104 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: is an actual studio, but they've for the last twelve 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: months been building next door to us. So it's been 106 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: really hard to time the podcast and especially the diaries, 107 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: which I need to make sure I'm recording kind of 108 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: in real time by Wednesday or Thursday for a Friday release. 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: You know, like if there's drilling going on from seven 110 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: am to four pm, it really does limit there. You know, 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: you're definitely doing night recordings, which I'm always a bit 112 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: dusty in Adam a good that said, we're recording night 113 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: right now. I've had a very busy Los Angelean day. 114 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: Give an update of my day. Got up the SMALLNS. 115 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I think my alarm went off at six. I opened 116 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the yoga studio. I work at a yoga studio five 117 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: days a week. I start teaching in two weeks, but 118 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: at the moment I've just been doing front desk. And 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: then i went straight from yoga to a voice acting 120 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: workshop at Soho House in West Club, which is beautiful. 121 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: It's like a club. I'm not a member, my friend's 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: a member, and my friend took me and then got 123 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: this delicious green juice and then came home recording this. 124 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, I cannot wait to watch 125 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: the Witcher.

But like, obviously in the last four years, 132 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: I have changed careers. So you may have known or 133 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: listened to me from a nutrition standpoint or a health 134 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: and wellness standpoint, because that's obviously what I've written books 135 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: for in Australia for many, many years. But as soon 136 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: as I kind of turned thirty ish, but it took 137 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: me a lot of courage to me about two years 138 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: to build the courage to actually stepped foot in acting school. 139 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: At about thirty one thirty two, right when I met Matt, 140 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: I was like, I think I'm gonna study acting, and 141 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: everybody else had kind of laughed at me, and it 142 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: was Matt that was like, yeah, great idea, why don't you? 143 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,119 Speaker 1: And so I started. I actually called an acting school. 144 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: This is what happened. I called an acting school and 145 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: I went to enroll in their TV presenting course because 146 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I had a big audition. 147 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: I was so nervous about it, and I thought, why 148 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: not just like brush up on like AUTOQ and talking 149 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: to camera and POV and all that kind of stuff. 150 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: And so anyway, I call a to enroll in the 151 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: TV presenting course. It's full, and I was like, oh, 152 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: dang it, and they're like, why don't you do the 153 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: acting course? And I was like part of me and 154 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: they said why don't you do the acting course? And 155 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: I said, oh, I'd rather swim with sharks. And they 156 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: were like, well, that's a great sign. And I've never 157 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: looked back. So that would have been I'm a thirty 158 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: seven hour so that'd be like five or six years 159 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: ago that that happened. And since then, I've always been 160 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: in school. I take little breaks here and there for 161 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: like a month or two, but I usually keep privates 162 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: up and dialect work up in a monthst that time 163 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: if I'm not in a physical class.

Mark Matthews was a great one. 234 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: He's a big wave surfer, so he literally, for a 235 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: very long time was the surfer that surfed the biggest 236 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: waves in the world. And you know, he had some 237 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: really scary injuries and she talked about them. That was 238 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: episode three hundred and sixteen. I was trying to get 239 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: him on the podcast for I cannot. That's the other 240 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: hard thing that you don't know what goes on behind 241 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the scenes, Like it's really hard to pin people down, 242 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: especially in my case because I love recording in real life. 243 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: It just when you're doing it online and on the 244 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: internet the Internet or glitch or like there'll be delay 245 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: or they'll be like a pause or I don't know, 246 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: like I just I do know. I love human connection. 247 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: I really like eye contact and it's just so nice 248 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: to connect. That said, I have done some great Zoom interviews. 249 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: One of them is with Joe Wicks, the body coach, 250 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: absolutely and we toured together, did book touring back in 251 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: the day, and he really shared openly, Like right at 252 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: the side of the interview, he goes, how deep you 253 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: want to go? And I was like, let's go deep 254 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: and he goes great. So he's an absolute sweet soul. Also, 255 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: I think car name is Lizzie Telbot and she was 256 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: the intimacy coordinator of Bridgington. That was really nice. A 257 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: fun fact about that one. I had deep dived her 258 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: way too much. So we were there to talk about Bridgington. 259 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: I interviewed her like a week after Bridgington launch. That 260 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: was a really big get that I didn't think I'd 261 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: be able to get. But I was right when people 262 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: were starting to talk about intimacy coaches as well. And anyway, 263 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: I had deep dive her. I'd done so much right, 264 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: so I was really nervous about this. This was a 265 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: Zoom interview and I was like, oh, how exciting You're 266 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: working on the Witcher as well.

I really want to interview them. 327 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: Fun fact, I interviewed someone that apparently I didn't realize 328 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: until after, but we've got similar voices, and I got 329 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: feedback that we sounded too similar and that it was 330 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: hard to tell us apart. How interesting is that? Holy 331 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: mackerel anyway, fascinating, so so fascinating. So some of the 332 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: stuff that we've covered over the last four hundred episodes 333 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: is first of all, we launched this pod like literally 334 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: it launched on the eighth of September in twenty nineteen, 335 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: and only like really love what like five six months 336 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: later covid covid hit Now. I was such a stickler 337 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: for recording six episodes in advance, so I thought I 338 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: was like home and Host. I was like, oh, I've 339 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: got the next six weeks episodes in the can. I 340 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: don't need a recorder on Zoom. As we all know, Melbourne, 341 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: which is where I was living at the time, went 342 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: into a very long lockdown, so I had to quickly 343 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: pivot and learn to interview people on Zoom that set 344 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: as well. I will be honest with you, it means 345 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: you can get bigger guests, because bigger guests will be like, ah, 346 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm not going to travel to you, or they live 347 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: in different parts of the world and they're like, I'll 348 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: jump on zoom for half an hour though, or forty minutes. 349 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: So like zoom does have a place for recording, or 350 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: some people use riverside as well for recording online. I 351 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: just love being with people. Maybe it's just my personality, 352 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: like I just love being in the presence of people. 353 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 1: It's just my whole jam. Some of the setbacks that 354 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: have happened in the pod situation, I've had SD cards break, 355 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: so that's where you're recording and you're like, oh, fuck, 356 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: it won't see the I won't see the card and 357 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: you lose that episode. I have never lost a Guests 358 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: episode I have I have. I've lost jor Dana's episode 359 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: once that that was a mat thing. I think he 360 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: might have accidentally wiped it. He told me he's like, 361 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: something's wrong with We've wiped the card and there was 362 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: an episode on there. That's a tricky thing if you 363 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: record that far in advance. So I have lost one 364 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: episode before. I've lost one diary episode before from SD 365 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: mail function SD card mail function and it living When 366 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: I lived in Lost Fearless and I would record the 367 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: diary episodes. There are we call them, I think wind 368 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: blowers in Australia. Oh maybe we call them weed whackers, 369 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: I know, but the wind machines here. Everyone newses them 370 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: in La. It's like a weird LA thing. But you 371 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: can hear the wind blowers the leaf blowers all the time. 372 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: And so that was like the Baine May existence. I 373 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness, I need to time this 374 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: when they're not going to do the weeda the wind blowers. 375 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: So sound is a big thing. That's a definit definite 376 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: like struggle. Also, like I've had guests that I've booked, 377 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: planned flights, flown to Melbourne to interview and they've canceled 378 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: the night before. That shit totally happens. And obviously, like 379 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: stuff happens, people miss the odd pod and things don't 380 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: line up. But like you know, I think there's a 381 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: way to cancel and a way not to cancel, and 382 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: maybe like an email knowing him the night isn't the 383 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: way to cancel, But that shit definitely happens. What other 384 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: setbacks are, they're definitely like just like schedule clashes. The 385 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: other thing that can be really tricky is like if 386 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: you're some people really want to be on the pod, 387 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I take everyone so seriously, Like if 388 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: someone pictures me and says they want to be on 389 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: the pod, they've got a good story, like I will 390 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: research it to within an inch of It's like I'll 391 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, where's this sit Does this sit on 392 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: filthy failing? Or is it better that I actually recommend 393 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: them to my friend's podcast, Like I'm also a connector 394 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: so like I recently interviewed Monty Franklin and the Australian Comediuan. 395 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: He lives here in La. Well, he lives in San Diego, 396 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: and he was in LA for a day and he 397 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: was like, com we do you a pod? And I 398 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: was like, course again, And I interviewed him and at 399 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: the end of the interview is like, hey, like I'm 400 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 1: going to Australia to do a tour and work on 401 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: his movie, and he was like, can you connect me 402 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: with other podcasters? I was like, yeah, of course, And 403 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: I think I introduced him to four or five different podcasts, 404 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: like I love connecting people, and two really great podcasters 405 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: as well. I think there's space for all of us 406 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: to succeed. I don't think it needs to be like, oh, no, 407 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: you've been on my pod, you can't be on this pod. 408 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: And I do love inviting people back, like obviously Matt's 409 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: been on the pod loads, but like Charlie Goldsmith has 410 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: come back on the pod. He's another beautiful guest. He's 411 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: a very beautiful soul and human being and had my 412 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: back over the years. We've been friends since I was 413 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: like eighteen, maybe not even eighteen, Like we know each 414 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: other foreber and that's like a long twenty year to 415 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty year friendship, right, And so he's been on the 416 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: pod a couple of times. So and I like I 417 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: did a special when I first launched. I got a 418 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: counselor on the pod and we talked about like grief, 419 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: and I got him to I'm really made talked about 420 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: in disorders because that's my history. Anyway. I really try 421 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: to like share as much as I can on the pod. 422 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: The other things that we shared on the pod, so gues. 423 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: We were all going through COVID together, So some of 424 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: the EPs did end up being zoom. The great thing 425 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: if you record with actors, most of them have got 426 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: a Zoom set up at home, like a mic, beautiful mike, 427 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: because there are often a lot of actors are also 428 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: voice actors, and so they're like, yeah, I've got the 429 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: setup and it sounds so amazing. I actually recorded the 430 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: fun fact, Sean Zepps was on the pod recently and 431 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: he had a beautiful mike setup and he goes, do 432 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just going to record, like have 433 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: the voice memo function of my phone open and just 434 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: see just as backup. So lucky he did that. The 435 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: recording did not work on his USB mike. He might 436 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: not even know this, so if you listen to this Sean, 437 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 1: it didn't even work. So I don't know if what 438 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: had happened. Matt told me the file was corrupted or 439 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: maybe there was something wrong with the mic anyway, but 440 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: we ended up using that recording he did on his phone, 441 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: which you just had sitting next to him, as a 442 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: backup recording. So there you go, have a backup if 443 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: you can. Often, if I'm interviewing someone on Zoom, to 444 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: old record audio on Zoom, because it's just it's better 445 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: to have it as an option and then delete it later, 446 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? The other things that 447 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: we've been through, Like we sheard a lot about the floods. 448 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: When the floods happened in Byron Bain, I tried to 449 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: like interview people that were in the thick of it, 450 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: and we interviewed an animal sanctuary to try and give 451 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: them a voice and get some support around them. Obviously, 452 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: I've shared a lot of the IVF stuff on the 453 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: pod as well. So Boss and I last year went 454 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: through IVF, which is, yes, you're only injecting for like 455 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: a two week period and then you have the procedure, 456 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: but it's like so much more than that, Like there's 457 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: loads of pre tests. You've got to have internal ultrasounds, 458 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: that's the dial too up the vagina little test to 459 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: and that's how I learned I had pcos I had 460 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: no idea that I had pcos. You know, there was 461 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: a lot and I had a lot of help complications 462 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: with the IBF, Like IVF was a wild rollercoaster for me. 463 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: But we shed all of that on the pod, and 464 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: we shed it really honestly, and I've got to admit 465 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: it was like really challenging for me because I thought 466 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: that I went into the IVF experienced super naive. I 467 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm gonna get eggs. We're gonna get 468 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: half embryos, half eggs. We're gonna If I get extra eggs, 469 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to donate them to queer couples. Blah blah blah. 470 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: Like it didn't go like no one tells you this, 471 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: you don't know until you go through it. But like 472 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: people go through like five, six, seven rounds to get 473 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: one embryo, right, and we decided to do embryos, which 474 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: is basically where they introduce your eggs to either donors 475 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: sperm or your partner sperm. Obviously in my case was 476 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: with Matt sperm. And you know, so although they collected 477 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: fourteen eggs, like it goes has to go through this 478 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: whole process and these eggs and then I think they're 479 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: called blaster sites, like when they be like little baby embryos, 480 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: like they've got to live to five days and like 481 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: to make it to that five daymark, like they die 482 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: off every single day, and it's harrowing. It's so confronting 483 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: even for me who's doing it as like future planning 484 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: in case we decide to go down that path, and 485 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: it's like we I can't not imagine what it would 486 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: feel like for a couple or a person that really 487 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: badly wants to have a kid and is not having luck. 488 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: It is the most full on experience and it's a 489 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: roller coaster and it's just wild. So though, I would 490 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: say that that whole experience took up five months of 491 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: our lives, honestly, like from all the pre stuff, all 492 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: the supplements, all the blood tests, all the checks. Saw 493 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: one specialist didn't get a good vibe, saw another specialist 494 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: much better vibe. You know, it was just it was 495 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: just go, go, go, go go. It was so full on. 496 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: It was just non stop. And then my pcos really 497 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: flared up from I'm presuming all the IVF meds and 498 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: got worse. And then I put on a bunch of weight, 499 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: and then with that becomes like a mental health thing 500 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: for me because like my history. So it was just wild, wild, 501 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: But we shared so much of that on the Potter 502 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: Rooney and I do hope that that helped people through it. 503 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: And then we were lucky enough. Actually I wasn't legally 504 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: allowed to interview my IVF doctor because there's like certain 505 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: rules around that. I don't really know the rules, but 506 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: I interviewed another IVF doctor and he was a friggin legend. 507 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: His name is doctor Steven Algae go back over the pod, 508 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: like I mean fully interviewed him in his absolute sweet, sweet, sweet, 509 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: sweet sweet human being, and I just yeah, I just 510 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: really really loved chatting to him. And he actually kind 511 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: of like it was the perfect like bookend to my 512 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: to Matt and my's IVF experience because he was like 513 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: really positive and I was like, oh, maybe I could 514 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: do all these other rounds. Is like chill out, that's 515 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: your backup plan, chill out, And it was just so 516 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: nice to like chill essentially and be empowered to go. 517 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: You know what, we've done our best as well. The 518 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: other things that Boss and I have shared with you 519 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: on this podcast is we've moved. So we lived in Melbourne, 520 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: then we moved to Byron Bay. It's built and set 521 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: up a community and home in Byron Bay, which is 522 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: where Boss is right now. And then me in Los 523 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: Angeles and setting up and building a place in Los 524 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: Angeles and doing that kind of on my own essentially, 525 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: and it's been hard. It's tough, and LA takes time, 526 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: and it takes a really really really long time to 527 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: find your feet and to find your groove and to 528 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: feel like you get a few wins. Like I, you know, 529 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm working minimum wage do yoga studio just so that 530 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: I don't dip into Australian savings and mortgage money and 531 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm really like, I'll doing the grind here, 532 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: you know. But at the same time, I like that 533 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: it's tough. I like that it's a grind. I do 534 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: believe hard work pays off. But yeah, I mean that's 535 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: something that I've been sharing in all the Friday Diary podcasts. 536 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: So we've been sharing loads. And I think like the 537 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: Boss as well, like to go from when we first 538 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: started this podcast, like he was a DJ and music 539 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: producer and he's still a music producer now, but he 540 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: doesn't dj as much. He is now composing on four 541 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: different TV shows, which is his dream career. Like he's 542 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: absolutely killing it. And even with me, like when this 543 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: pod started, I was writing fearlessly Failing After the pod 544 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: was well and truly like that book came from this podcast, 545 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: So before that, I was writing nutrition, health and wellness books. 546 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: We had our like wellness coffee brand La La Coffee 547 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: and the Hindland hot chocolate.

Hard, financially hard without having a partner, hard 564 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: with all the rejection and donuts and like when I 565 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: say donuts like nose.

I don't know, but 579 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: like it's expensive to enter and I've entered every other 580 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: year and I don't know if it's like why, but 581 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: sometimes we just don't get noticed or get the norms. 582 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, I'm not creating it to win 583 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: an award. I'm creating it for you and to create 584 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: a space so that people like the pod and can 585 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: connect to it and feel like they've heard and can 586 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: feel like, ah, I've got a dream.

And so that is why this podcast exists. 590 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: That's why I try to hunt out these guests that 591 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: like have something to share and something to impart that 592 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: we can all together learn from. And so that is 593 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: the like mo o and the goal and the everything 594 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: for this pot. It's really just to create a platform 595 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: in a space where you can hear people's journeys and stories, 596 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: the good, the bad, the ugly, and hopefully it like 597 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: sparks something within you so that you're like, yeah, like 598 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: stuff it like, I'm going to go after this thing 599 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: inside me, like and this this will spark that's in 600 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: my heart.

Yes, some guests are tricky, really tricky. 613 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Some guests are hard. Some guests seem like they don't 614 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: want to be interviewed. Some people cancel the night before 615 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: that said, do you know what I had? Someone canceled 616 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: the night before and the night before an absolute legend 617 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: step in. I remember, I was like, got flown in 618 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: land in Melbourne. I was like, I've got one more 619 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: podcast spot. I've got this space, like I've got this 620 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: beautiful podcast space that I heart had set up for me. 621 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: And I was like, shit, what am I gonna do? 622 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: And I was like I remembered. I was like Sean Hamson, 623 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've always wanted get him on the pot. 624 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna try. And he wrote back straight away 625 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: and he goes, I'll be there tomorrow. What a legend 626 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: and was such a beautiful gentleman to interview on the podcast, 627 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: and the one I was least prepared for because obviously 628 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: he was a last minute calling the other guests of 629 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: that day, I'd research really heavily. I research about twelve 630 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: hours per per guest, usually sometimes a little bit less 631 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: if there's time constraints or if I know them. Usually 632 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: if I know them really well, I research even harder 633 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: because obviously I know nuances and I'm like, oh, I 634 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: want to make sure I explore that and explore that 635 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: and make sure I don't forget that thing about them 636 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. But sometimes you can get away 637 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: with it like a little bit less, like the ones 638 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: the guests that I have to send questions to a 639 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: legal team. Usually that is like three months before I 640 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: even get to interview them, And then when I get 641 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: to interview them, I'm like, fuck, we go through it. 642 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: It's like relearning the questions again because you've interviewed half 643 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: a dozen ten people in that window. You know. Anyway, 644 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: that's just me and this is just one person's opinion 645 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: of how they pod. But I love it.
