1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: to you from wherever I'm living or traveling to at

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: the time, so I'll share with you what's going on

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: in my world, from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals,

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: nature adventures, health discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches.

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: Come with me as I share my adventures with you. Hello,

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: and welcome to your diary episode. So at the moment,

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: these diary check in episodes have been coming to you

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: from Byron Bay. But the Boss and I just did

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: a trip to NUSA. I'm actually recording this the night

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: before it comes out. It's like ten BM a night.

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: We've just literally got back home from NUSA and Boss

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: has put me in his studio and he's like, quick,

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: go and record while I make us really late dinner.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: So I am doing this diary and I didn't want

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: to do it early because we did so much stuff

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: in NUSA today and I wanted to make sure I

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: could cover it for you. If you haven't been to

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: NUSA before, if you're thinking about it, I have been

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: really exploring kind of like a lot of plant based

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: eating lately, and I think because I've been listening so

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: much to David Sinclair and I obviously loved Simon Hill's

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: podcast as well and his book plant Proof. One of

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: the proof is in the plants and the pot is

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: called plant Proof, and yeah, and David Sinclozan and I

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: just love both of their methods of thoughts. I have

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: kind of been leaning a lot more heavily into plant based.

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: I still do eat protein and meats, but I'm noticing

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: that there's quite a shift, and I'm setting myself a

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: little goal that when I go back to Los Angeles

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: in a month or so, I think I'm either going

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: to go vegetarian pescatarian or for plant based.

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Pescatarian is really easy. That means you eat a little bit.

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: Of fish then and you can still have eggs, and

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: then vegetarian usually still have eggs and dairy.

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't eat loads of dairy, So that's anyway.

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: I'll let you know if and when I do it,

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: but that's kind of what I'm thinking. However, today's episode

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: is a diary episode, so your Monday's is always an

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: interview style, and the Monday episode that came out this

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: week was a Valentine's special with the Boss of Cheno

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: and your episode next week. We're just getting all sorted.

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: So basically, I think I told you this, but Boss

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: and I record, or I go and record quite a

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: few in advance in Melbourne and Sydney, and I'm about

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: to a trip next week where I do the same thing,

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: and I just get as many as I can in

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: the can so that when I go to America, you've

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: still got your Monday episode. It's a fresh person every

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: single week. So I'm kind of working like a little

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: hamster on a hamster wheel to make sure that I

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: get enough content to see me through because I don't

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: know anyone in America really, and I'm kind of studying

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: at ground zero there and so it's not like I

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: have much pull power at all to get a guest,

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: And like the amount of emails when I was over

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: there last year that you just won't even get responses.

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: You'd write to people that you had like a loose

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: connection with and they just wouldn't even bother responding. So

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: I did get some great guests, but I'm just so

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: aware of that this year that I'm interviewing as many

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: as I can so we're just doing a few juggles,

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: but I think it's going to be a health food

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: based guess that's a hint for next week.

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: So then the NUSA Diary.

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Basically, I just wanted to do this because, as you know,

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: I always tell you all the things that Boss and

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: I do in Byron Bay. But as I mentioned earlier,

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: it's been Valentine's this week, and we have said this

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: year we really want to save and really focus on

72
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: hopefully saving to you know, build a bit of a

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: future together. And so we thought, oh, rather than like

74
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: splurge and get something designer for each other, which is

75
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: what we did at Christmas time, we said, let's have

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: an experience and something that is a memory that.

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: We'll have forever.

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: And so I had a podcast guest booked for NUSA

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: and I was just going to meet my friend Lauren

80
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: halfway and then I thought, oh, you know, and then

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: I had an acting scene that I'm putting up for

82
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: self tape for my agents. My scene partner is based

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: in NUSA two and I said to Matt, like, we

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: could go and do a bit of this work stuff,

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: but do a little romantic get away at the same time.

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: And it ended up working out so well, so we

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: stayed in the hinterland of NUSA. Again, as I mentioned,

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: we're trying to watch funds. So everything that we looked

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: at Innosa Heads and there was another area that we

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: were looking at right around there that sounded gorgeous and beautiful.

91
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: It was all about two hundred dollars more than being

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: in the hinterland, and we love hinderland. So we ended

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 2: up staying in an area called Dunan, which is about

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes from NUSA Heads in the hinterland, and it

95
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 2: was beautiful. It was a beautiful airbnb. It was really

96
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: great value. Everything was brand new. It just looked gorgeous

97
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: to It was very you know those what are they

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: called plantation shutters, and everything was really clean but linen

99
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: and beautiful earthy tones. It was such a beautiful place

100
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: to stay and we absolutely loved it. So I booked

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: us an Airbnb in Dunan and day once we drove down.

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: It's about three hours from Bangalore where we live, to Noosa,

103
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: so we drove. We left at about ten am on

104
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: there's a time change just so you know, so New

105
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: South Wales is an hour ahead of Queensland.

106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: We got there.

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: In the afternoon, I had an acting class and rehearsal

108
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: for the scene we were.

109
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: Going to put up the following day.

110
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: So we did that and I had to drive to

111
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't remember what area it was, but it was

112
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: all in that beautiful hintlandy vibe area. So I did

113
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: my rehearsal. Boss worked it because we went during That's

114
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: the only thing when you travel during the week. It's

115
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: also much cheaper rates. Oh my goodness, of course, I've

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: got my phone on for you or some more.

117
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: It.

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Although it was cheaper rates because your booking in the

119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: middle of the week, we were still both in work mode,

120
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: so Matt worked while I went and did an acting class,

121
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: which was so awesome. We ended up doing a two

122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: hour coaching session and I loved it. It was so fun,

123
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: and this teacher was really into just being present with

124
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: the other actor, so it was really refreshing to get

125
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: out of my head because I do a lot of

126
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: script analysis, a lot, a lot of character analysis, a

127
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: little bit of backstory, but this teacher was really into

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: character backstory, which is really cool, and then just being

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 2: present with your scene barner, which was It's really exciting,

130
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: but it's quite confronting too, because you feel extremely vulnerable

131
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: and seen by your scene barner. So yeah, we did

132
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: a two hour workshop on Tuesday Elboat, and then Boss

133
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: and I had a Valentine's dinner at an awesome place

134
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: in Noosa called Herbert so very heavily plant based. They

135
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: do have a few proteins on the menu. I think

136
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: I saw something with prawn's. Boss wanted to try the brisket,

137
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: which I had a little taste off, but I was,

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: to be honest, just really pumped for the plant based stuff.

139
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: And then the cocktails were insane, so I kept the

140
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: receipts so I could tell you what we got. So

141
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: the first cocktail that I got was called a green

142
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: Thumb and it was a gin. It was a sour

143
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: green cocktail gin base. I think it had so truce

144
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: in it as well, which gave it that beautiful like

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: green color.

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Boss had what's called.

147
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: A sapphire and that was one of those gins that

148
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: changes color, so it came to our table like bluey purple.

149
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: And then the ice cube was a sphere and as

150
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: soon as he mixed the sphere with the whatever it

151
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: was topped up with and all the other delicious stocks

152
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: that had a beautiful flavor to it.

153
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: It went kind of like red, so it went from

154
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: blue to red. That was really cool.

155
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: And then the food we got, so we got these

156
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: tappyocre fritters. Everything that I'm going to mention is totally

157
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: gluten free. They were delicious. They came out with like

158
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: an eggplant jam which was delicious. But my favorite was

159
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: the next one. So it was a charred cabbage with

160
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: a miso butter so good. It sounds weird, but I'm

161
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: telling you right now, order the cabbage if you ever

162
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: go there. Then we got this broccoli and it had

163
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: a peep puree underneath it. It had this puffed buckwheat

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: on top, and then it came with like a wip

165
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: whipped coconut cream thing.

166
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: It really worked. And then the.

167
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: Wagou brisk it kind of came out with it. I

168
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 2: always says word wrong, but Jimmy Chury, you know that

169
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: green like mixed herb kind of concoction. And then underneath

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: it was like a caramelized carrot thing.

171
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: We were too full to get dessert.

172
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: But Matt's like, we've got to try the other cocktails

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: because it was so many good cocktails. So he got

174
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: what's called a ron Burgundy, and it came out like

175
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: in this jar and it had mahogany smoke in it,

176
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: and so when you pull the lid off the jar,

177
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: all this smoke comes out and it tasted really Christmasy like.

178
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: There was definitely like cinnamon and nutmeg in there, and

179
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: there was like a charaz in there. It was beautiful.

180
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: And then I got a light chy lemon myrtle, which

181
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: was so pretty. It came out with like a eucalyptus

182
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: leaf with a.

183
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Little heart punched out of it.

184
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: It was really really gorgeous, really yummy. Would highly recommend

185
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: that the staff was super friendly. Yeah, so that's called Herbert.

186
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: It's only been open for ten months and it was

187
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: really delicious. Great if you're gluten free, Great if you're

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 2: plant based as well. Highly highly recommend too. So Wednesday,

189
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: so we had I had my friend Lauren on the podcast.

190
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: She's actually my travel advisor and really helped me with

191
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: travel last year. I'm about to book my next trip

192
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: with her to America. She's unreal And we just talk

193
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: about the way that COVID has affected travel and how

194
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: travel is going to look moving forward. And we talked

195
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: about having vaccine, passports, and just all these things that

196
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: now you need to be aware of depending on where

197
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: you're going in the world, and like she said, you know,

198
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: depending on where you're flying from and landing in the

199
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: first port where you land, that's the PCR test you

200
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: have to So they've all got different rules with like

201
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: twenty four hours before seventy two hours before. Lucky Me

202
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: America is twenty four hours before, so I think I'm

203
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: either gonna have to do it on site or just

204
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: like get to somewhere literally twenty four hours before I fly.

205
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: All very interesting and just quite fascinating, and we talked

206
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: amazing bucket list travel places. So if you've missed travel,

207
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: that's going to be a great episode for you. I'm

208
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: not sure we're we're going to bring it out, but

209
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: it's all recorded and it was a really really fun chat.

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: Then straight after that, Boss and I went to you

211
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: Monday Market, which is like a really big market in

212
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: news a humongers. It's definitely got like your food, your coffee,

213
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: you're a Sari bowl plazers, but then it's got all

214
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: this craft and then you've got like local produce and

215
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: honey and like Dali stuff.

216
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Really cool, and then we went and met Leelee.

217
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: So Lee was my manager many many years ago, but

218
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: now to this day. It does a lot of the

219
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: digital stuff that I work on, so it was really

220
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: cool to hang with her. She also owns an amazing

221
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: tea company called Little wildlin Co and really delicious tea

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: that I love, love love. Then oh so she's got

223
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: a brand new car, a Chevy oh pretty American car.

224
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: And then she took us to lunch at this place

225
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: called Guncotton Coffee apparently they were originally from Melbourne, and

226
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: I got this really good Mexican nourish bowl. The boys

227
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: got chicken burgers, and she and Lee got this like

228
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: egg and crab scramble thing that looked really really delicious.

229
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: And then I got a really yummy chie on oat

230
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: milk when I went there. When we left, should I say,

231
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: because then they'd pick up their kiddos and I had

232
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: to film the scene, so I then it then drove

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: to cool them or Bosso actually dropped me and call

234
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: them and we shot the scene for three hours for

235
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: our self tape.

236
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: So that was a lot of fun.

237
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: It was cool to work with like camera guys versus

238
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: like all my self tapes. I either film with a

239
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: tripod or I get bossed a film for me. So

240
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: it was fun to kind of like workshop the scene

241
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: and like and run the scene. I reckon, We ran

242
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: the scene just a little bit of BTS for you.

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: I would say close to thirty times. And I think

244
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: that's what it's really like.

245
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: On some set.

246
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: Some it's very quick, but some it's a lot of

247
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: just repeating and like standing around and repeating and then

248
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: like getting.

249
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: The shots for the other actors.

250
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: You're saying your lines and you want to give it

251
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: a lot because you want the other actor to give

252
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: a really honest performance. Or you know portrol and you're, yeah,

253
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: you just get tired. I was so tired last night,

254
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: so I was super seer tired last night. After that,

255
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. I probably can share

256
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: it when it comes out because it's just for self

257
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: tapes anyway, So we just send that to agents basically.

258
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: So then Boss we found this really cool organic little

259
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: deli right near we were staying. I think it's called

260
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: Doun and Fruit and veg but all organic, and Boss

261
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: just got some yummy ingredients and made a big salad

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: with some halloomi and sweet potato and it was delish

263
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: and so good. And then today was kind of like

264
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: technically our real romance day because there was no work

265
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: that was booked.

266
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: I got up really early.

267
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: I was reading a book, having my Lola coffee, and

268
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: then I just woke the boss up and I was like,

269
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: bossa Chenki, it's go. It's eight am in Byron, so

270
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: it was seven am in news. I was like, do

271
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: you want to come and hike? And then we hiked

272
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: the beautiful NUSA Headland. That was really cool.

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: We saw five I think they were bull rays. There's

274
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: really big rays.

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: I put a little thing on into stories, but I'm

276
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: probably gonna post again because that was so cool. But yeah,

277
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: they were having a right old time, like they were

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: either feeding or just like playing around, and there was

279
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: like it looked like a family that was a little

280
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: one and then some real big ease but that was

281
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: gorge So saw like.

282
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: A gang of five bull rays as we did that hike.

283
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: And then we got told about this really good coffee

284
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: place that only serves coffee and gin at nighttime and

285
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: it was called Moonstruck.

286
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: That was really nice.

287
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: We both got an at Latain and that was really

288
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: really delicious, ran back to the Airbnb, packed it up,

289
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: popped our togs on, and then we went and we

290
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Everybody that we spoke to was like, you have to

291
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: swim at Little Cove. You have to swim a Little

292
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: Cove Beach. So we drove to Little Cove Beach, which

293
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: is just kind of off the main drag of news

294
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: sites called Hastings Street is the main drag, and so

295
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: it was just kind of like off there, and yeah,

296
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: it was beautiful, went for a swim, had to read

297
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: on the beach, and then we he went into Someone

298
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: wrote to me on inside and recommended this place called

299
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: Vanilla Food. It's organic and it's got lots of plant

300
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: based options. Turned out it was really close to Herbert

301
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: where we'd been in the first night, and we both

302
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: just got for lunch. I got the vegan tacos, so

303
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: instead of meat, it was like a chili scramble, sorry,

304
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: a chili tofu scramble on the inside, and then Boss

305
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: got fish tacos, and then we actually ended up having

306
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: one on one and then of course Laola with the

307
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: sweet Tooth, we shared a gluten free slice of carrot cake,

308
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: which I was pumped for, but I gotta say the

309
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: winner was this gluten free lemon curd tart. So it

310
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: had a little BlackBerry on top, so good. So that

311
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: was amazing. And then we were ummi and ah and

312
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: we were like, do we just have a really chill

313
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: Noosa day and get back to Byron early or do

314
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: we go to Australia Zoo. Now Boss had never been

315
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: to Noosa and has obviously therefore never been to Australia

316
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: Zoo because it's just out of Noosa. I've been four times,

317
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: I've done animal Encounter. I did the Binterong Animal Encounter

318
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. I've dedicated a book to Steveewen,

319
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: like I am a Steve Bowon fan and an Australia

320
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: Zoo fan and a Wildlife Warrior fan, and so I

321
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: was like, look, if you don't want to go and

322
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: you just want to chill, I'm like, I fully get it.

323
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: I've been four times. I'm a huge fan. And he

324
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: was like, no, I think, I think I want to go.

325
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, look, it's the best I've ever

326
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: been to. Like they really care for the animals there

327
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: at four o'clock every day, like they take the animals

328
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: out of their enclosure and put them into humongous like

329
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: spaces to rome and just really so much care, so

330
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: much animal conservation. They have a hospital on site, and

331
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: I was like, if you want to go, I'm one

332
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: hundred percent of there, and Matt's like, let's do it.

333
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: So that ended up being he surprised me with that

334
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: my Valentine's prasy, which was really nice. And I just

335
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: love Steve and I'm already getting emotional talking about this.

336
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 2: It makes me cry every time I go. I cry

337
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: when I'm in the croc Sea, and I know it

338
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: sounds really weird. I've never met Steve and in my life,

339
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: I just that kind of passion is just so.

340
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: Real to me, and I just don't think many people

341
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: have it. And he just.

342
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: Did some really cool stuff and like for conservation, for

343
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: educating people, for taking away people's fear around you know,

344
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: apex predators, and anyway, it's an amazing place at Strawiya Zoo.

345
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: Didn't think I was going to cry on this pot

346
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: about it, but it yeah. When I so for people

347
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: that have been basically all that haven't been basically it's

348
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: a zoo, but it's obviously got a lot of crocs

349
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: there and American alligators and all those kind of like

350
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: reptilian creatures. But then there is like there's like Bindi

351
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: I want Bindi's.

352
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: Island with all lemurs, and there's a there is an

353
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Africa area. It's elephants and giraffes. And then we were

354
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: there at.

355
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: Four o'clock where they actually take the African animals and

356
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: put them in a much big even bigger They're already

357
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: in a pretty humongous enclosure in a bigger roaming area.

358
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: And Matt and I were only two there, and this

359
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: guy like got the truck with the feed on it

360
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: and brought the animals like the draft to just chill

361
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: with us, like oh so nice. Anyway, we hung with

362
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: koalas or has you know, I call them Wali's.

363
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: It was amazing.

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: But when I'm in the Krocoseum, which is where they

365
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 2: do the couples crying about this, they do like the

366
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: crocket education pieces, and there's one a day where they

367
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 2: like you know, talk about croc conservation and they bring

368
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: a massive croc in and feed it and whatnot. And

369
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: that's where Steve Birlan always used to do his There's

370
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: a massive.

371
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: Memorial there and it's It's like.

372
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: A lot of kids have written like how much they

373
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: miss him and the crocs will be sad, and I

374
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: don't know, It's just it gets me every time. I've

375
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: never been to Australis because I only went to australioy

376
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: Zoo after he passed away. I was always a fan

377
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: of Like I was that kid that watched it on

378
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: Tally Sunday are Vos and I when I watched him

379
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: and started working as a nutritionist.

380
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: I just I used to say to people I want

381
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: to be like Steve, want for.

382
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: Health and people were like, oh, laugh at me and

383
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: say you're just gonna wrestle broccoli, and I was like no,

384
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: I just I want that authentic passion. And I think

385
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: that's why I always keep searching and why I'm training

386
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: and acting TV presenting, and I want to do it

387
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: so badly because I just want to do that thing

388
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: that feels so real and so authentic.

389
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: And that's why I think he's amazing.

390
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've met that many other people

391
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: that have that kind of unapologetic realness. I don't even

392
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: know if that's the right English, but you know what

393
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say, Like it's just so honest and

394
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 2: real and passionate, like that real passion, not like anything

395
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: that we see bandied around socials or anything like that,

396
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: just like genuine.

397
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: Anyway, it gets me every time, every.

398
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: Time I can't I say, I warned, man, I was like,

399
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna warn you. I get emotional when I

400
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: go here. I don't know why, I don't know what

401
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: it is. It just like I get I fully get

402
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: overcome whenever I'm in the croc seim and just yeah,

403
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: I think I just think he was a brilliant human being.

404
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: So here, that's where you just came from, Stee and Zoo.

405
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: I love it. Sorry to I'm not going to apologize

406
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: for crying. I mean, I just think I just hope

407
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: one day that my passion feels that honest, unapologetic and real.

408
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: And I hope yours does too. I think I always say,

409
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: you've got to do what you love.

410
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: You've got to leave your purpose and not give you

411
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: a crab about what other people think. And I know

412
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: that that's hard and that takes courage and that takes bravery,

413
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: but I feel like he had all that. He had

414
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: that courage and bravery.

415
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: And I just I hope you have that.

416
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: I hope I have that one day, and I hope

417
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: you do too, And thank you for listening. If you've

418
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: lasted this long. It's always when you hear people that

419
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: are a motive and you're not in that space. You've

420
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: got to be in that space to really connect, otherwise

421
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: it can feel really confronting. So I apologize if you've

422
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: had to switch this pod off, but my whole stick

423
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: is just be real.

424
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's why I just.

425
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: Wanted to be honest, and I loved every second of

426
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: being there.

427
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Can I say I loved it and I just love

428
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the passion And.

429
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I'd say he's one of the reasons I

430
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: went for a career in Telly.

431
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: I used to just get a camera.

432
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: And I was so bad at talking to camera, and

433
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: I'd set it up and i'd i'd talk about my

434
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: brecky like I'd be like, ah, these oats are like

435
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: an intestinal broom. And I'd watch Steve RL and stuff

436
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: because I thought he was the best, and I was

437
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: like that passion, how do you get that?

438
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: How do you get that fearlessness?

439
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 2: Because when cameras are filming you, you can get really

440
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: self conscious and you can start to give a real

441
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: shit about what people think.

442
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: And he never had that. He was just him.

443
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's something that I inspire to it. Just

444
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: like real and honest. And yeah, if this inspires you

445
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: do anything, just go and watch YouTube of.

446
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: Steve el because he is.

447
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: Such a cool, real, honest human and I think it's

448
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 2: rare and I think that that's something we should all

449
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: aspire to.

450
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Me luck, just real and honest and unapologetically yourself. All right,
