Speaker 1: we're going. Although I will have recorded it in the morning,

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to upload it until

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: we get home, which is probably going to be really

58
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: late on Sunday night, which will be like a Monday AVO.

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: actually drop in the afternoon early evening in Australia, so

61
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: it will still come out Monday. I just wanted to

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: give you a Palm Springs Joshua Tree Pioneer Town special

63
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: and kind of like tour guide because it's meant to

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: be such a special spiritual vortex of California. So I

65
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: hope you love it. We're going to go into the

66
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: National Park all the fun stuff radio. Now that all

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the housekeeping is done, let's talk the week that was.

68
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I've been obviously working my banana off at there, as

69
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: in just working NonStop at the Yoak studio. Been working

70
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: really really hard. They're teaching lots of Yaks and I

71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: have as a result because the area where I work

72
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: is called Culver City, great little area west side. But

73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: I've also been as a result, been able to trial

74
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: this great food around the area. So I went to

75
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: a salad bar called Sweet Greens. It's actually a chain,

76
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: so if you're ever in La sweet Greens is great.

77
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: They've got loads of salad bowls. But I tried. I

78
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: said to the girl, what's your favorite. She goes, try

79
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: the Crispy rice bowl. It was so good. It came

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: with chicken and they call it arugula here, rocket is

81
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: what we call it, and then it's got this had

82
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: this like spicy cashew dressing. Was really, really, really yummy.

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Another place that I've been to recently with my friend

84
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Justin is a place called South Beverly Grill. He got

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: this Saviyon blanc martini. Yes, like white wine in a martini.

86
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: I am not a white wine gal. I am a

87
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: pinon NOI kind of gal if I'm going to have

88
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: a veino, but I'm much more into like martini's and

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: whiskey neat love it just like the Hosy Air song. Anyway,

90
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: He's like, We've got to try the special martini, and

91
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: I was like, you get the special one. I'm going

92
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: to get a really nice dry gin one with a

93
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: twist of lemon, because that's the way that Bosco and

94
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I like to do it in Barron Bay. So I

95
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: got my tradition la one. Justin got the special Savyon

96
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: blanc one and it was It was delicious, much sweeter

97
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: than mine, though, so I stuck with the tradish loved it.

98
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: So this South Beverly Grill has some traditional Southern American stuff.

99
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: So we got this like creamy spinach dip. Apparently that's

100
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: like a Southern thing. They've got loads of food like sushi, steak,

101
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: Chipo's a bit of everything. You'll find that in America.

102
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: You'll go to a restaurant or bar and the menus

103
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: will be humongous, like fifty options. It's a very I

104
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: think it's a very Americana thing, Like you can have

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the most beautiful sushi or niceoi salad or kale caesar,

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: or you can have like steak or hamburgers or fried

107
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: chicken burger all on the same menu. Very interesting, very

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Americana vibes say, that was really yummy. Bosco came a

109
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: medus as well, and we had a really fun night.

110
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: We also got some sushi there as well, which was delicious.

111
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Little snackoler What else were I written here? Oh, I've

112
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: been doing a little bit of Joshua tree planning, so

113
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: I want to do a little bit vintage shopping with Boo.

114
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Apparently there's incredible designer outlets out there. I've never been

115
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to them. I have been to Palm Springs before. You

116
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: remember last year I stayed at my lovely landlord when

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: I lived in Los Phelers, I stayed at Lily's Palm

118
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: Springs house with Alex and Anthony and we kind of

119
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: like took a little gang with us, a little bit

120
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: of had a little crew with this, and it was

121
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: so much fun. But I never checked out that outlets.

122
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I did check out some of the vintage shopping, which

123
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: was amazing. So I think Boss is going to love

124
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the vintage shopping. So that's our plan. I think Day

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: one is going to be vintage shopping and Pioneertown, which

126
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: is the old town where they used to film westerns.

127
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to take Boss to the Red Dog Saloon,

128
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: so that's like a proper old school saloon. There's a

129
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: famous little bar out there called Pappy and Harriet's, but

130
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: it is shot for the summer because it is so

131
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: hot out there, way hotter than La. Like La is

132
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: sitting at like thirty degrees every day. At the moment

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: out there, it is literally fifty degrees, so it's going

134
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: to be super super hot. We just got the ac

135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: fixed in the truck, so we're really excited. But yeah,

136
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be fun. And I wanted the

137
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: next Monday's EPI sorry, next Monday's EP. Yes, I'm saying

138
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: that right. I'm a bit deliver, and I to like

139
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of be in real time and Be. I've had

140
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: a lot of like actors on the pod. I've booked

141
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guests coming up for August, and I

142
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: thought this would be a good little check in one.

143
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: But also, if you're ever visiting LA, it's so worth

144
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: doing three days in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree or

145
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Yucker Valley or Pioneertown and so you're going to have

146
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: a full guide of that area. How exciting. So that's

147
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: what Monday's EPP will be. But remember it is going

148
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: to come out in the afternoon your Aussie time, Americanos,

149

00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: pod is last night, so I got invited to an

156
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: advanced screening of a movie called It Ends with Us.

157
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: So it's a Holleinen Hoover book that's been inspired and

158
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: turned into a movie. Like Lively as the lead it's

159
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it shot New York. Even though I

160
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: think it's set in Boston, I feel like it's all

161
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: shot in New York. It feels very New York vibes. Anyway,

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: as part of the launch for the movie, we got

163
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: invited to this kind of like art installation before the

164
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: movie screening kicked off. And so it was at Century City,

165
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: which is a massive maul here in LA and they

166
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: have a beautiful AMC theater there, which is like the

167
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: equivalent of Hoytz or Village for us Frozies. Anyway, we

168
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: went to this art installation which was a pop up

169
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: of the actual florist where a lot of the movie

170
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: is set, and it was lots of fun. We got

171
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: given cookies that are featured in the movie. We got

172
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: given a little bouquet of flowers. There were lots of

173
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: like media wall kind of moments as well. Even the

174
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Spotify playlist that's linked to the movie was what was playing.

175
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: Like it's almost like they thought of everything, and so

176
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: we did that. I went with my friend Alex and

177
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: then we went up to the movies. We had actually

178
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: we had some time to kill on Alice's like do you

179
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: want a cupcake and there is literally a cupcake ATM

180
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: machine in America called Sprinkles, and we both got a

181
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: strawberry cupcake and I was really really yummy. Anyway, we

182
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: went then we went it back into the theater and

183
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: saw the movie Unreal And also there was a Q

184
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: and A afterwards with Colleen Hoover, who is the author

185
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: of the book, and I believe she worked quite heavily

186
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: on the movie as well. I believe in a producer

187
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: capacity too, and two really massive famous American podcasters interviewed her.

188
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: I want to research them because I had not heard

189
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: of them before, but I think they're quite a big deal.

190
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of BookTok people there as well.

191
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: I think they'd invited a big bunch of influencers and

192
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: then done some kind of like BookTalk thing because all

193
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: the book top peic were like cheering and Coline Hoover

194
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: has this is an Easter egg. Hope'm not giving away,

195
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: but there is a little cameo in the movie that

196
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: Colleen is in and the whole theater erupted as soon

197
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: as they saw her. Jenny Slat is in the movie

198
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: as well. You know, I love the movie. Marcel Deshall.

199
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: She's all sort an incredible voice actor on big mouth

200
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: and loads of things, and she's like the comic relief

201
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: because some of the topics that are touched on in

202
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: this movie sit in that domestic violence and even a

203
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: little bit of sexual assault stuff. So I do want

204
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: to give you a trigger warning here if you go

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: and see it. It is a beautiful movie, beautiful casting.

206
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Blake Lively is like such a stunning human being to

207
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: watch it on the big screen as well, that beautiful hair,

208
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: such cool outfits. It's all set in a florist like,

209
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: it all feels very like rustic and artsy. But it

210
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: does tackle some really full on domestic violence things, and

211
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: so I just want to give you a heads up

212
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: about that. Also, if you haven't read the book and

213
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, go go see this thing fun like

214
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: rom com, I would say it's it does tackle some

215
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: heavier issues and there is definitely domestic violence scenes and

216
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: there is definitely a sexual assault scene. So I just

217
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: want to be really honest and clear about that. It

218
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: is a great movie. It is like so beautifully filmed,

219
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: like The Florist is so beautifilm. The actor that plays

220
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Atlas is cast beauty. I think the casting was really

221
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: really great. For those of you that have read the book,

222
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of you have read the Colleen

223
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Hoover book because I know I did a review on

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: it when I was in Viron and sent the copy

225
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: away as a pressy. Remember I was doing before we

226
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: moved here to Los Angeles. I was like cleaning out

227
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: my books because we're going to rent out our place,

228
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: right and so I remember I reviewed it ends with

229
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: us and gave it away to someone. So if you're

230
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: listening to this, hopefully it was you. But yeah, So

231
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: I love Colleen Hoover books because they are that kind

232
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: of like pure escapism. You can kind of binge read

233
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: them in three days. If you haven't read the book,

234
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: read it, you read it in like two days three days.

235
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: There's a brand new release with Blake Lively on the

236
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: cover too. I believe in America Target is getting that advance,

237
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: so that might be the same in Australia. I'm not

238
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: sure what else to tell you. Interesting thing that Colleen

239
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: Hoover shared last night at the event was that she

240
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: sold the movie rights five years ago. So it's just

241
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: fascinating to know from like the behind the scenes of

242
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: how Hollywood works and movies work. Like. So she wrote

243
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: that book, I'm presuming like seven years ago, maybe maybe

244
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: longer because she's written a copious amount of books. My

245
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: entry into Colleen Hoover was Verity, which is a bit

246
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: darker in the sense that there's a little bit of

247
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: a murder who done it twang, which got me like, oh,

248
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. Oh like twists. There were lots of

249
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: like plot twists, which was so fun to read. This

250
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: is much more like looks At It ends with us

251
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: to me, looks At Toxic Love. Oh Myna, she's comfy

252
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: on the bed here. It just loves being near you.

253
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: This dog o very cute. So go see the movie.

254
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: It's awesome, It's unreal. It's by Sony Pictures. It's coming

255
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: out in Australia on the eighth of August. It's coming

256
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: out in America on the ninth of August. And if

257
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: you're in La I believe they're going to keep that

258
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: pop up art installation for a little while. So go

259
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: see it at Century City. Go check out the art installation.

260
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: Then just like get the escalators up to the movie theater.

261
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: You'll love it. What else to tell you about it.

262
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: It was so fun. It was because it was like

263
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: an influencer. It me all got free popcorn and drinks,

264
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: so it was like fun, fun night. It's so fun

265
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: to take my mate Alex, who we met working at

266
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: the yoga studio together over a year ago, well over

267
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: a year ago now, and so it's just nice because

268
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: she's always been like such joinderful boss and we don't

269
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: work together at the same locations anymore. So it was

270
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: really nice to just be like have a girl's night anyway.

271
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Lots of fun. Also, like la, you can feel like

272
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: a grind some days, especially when I'm working a lot.

273
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my goodness, Like, ah, dreams where And

274
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: it's really nice to like go to a screening like

275
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: that and like get your dreams realigned a bit as

276
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: far as an artist and actor go. I also put

277
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: up an audition yesterday, so funny. It was all improv

278
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: and comedy based. It was still scripted, but like they

279
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: wanted to see comedy chops and I was just like,

280
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. I stayed in my Aussie accent.

281
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Fun fact, whenever I do improv or comedy auditions, I

282
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: usually stay in my Aussie accent because it's so much

283
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: easier to improve in your natural dialect the moment you're

284
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: putting the filter of like, oh, like how would this

285
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: sound in an American accent, and like you're trying to

286
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: hit like lines. But improv in that space is really

287
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: really tricky, and because turnarounds for commercials are really really tight,

288
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: I usually do if it's a commercial that's a comedy

289
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: and they're asking for improv, I will stay in Aussy,

290
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: and then if they're if it's scripted, like a commercial

291
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: that's scripted, I will do it in American. I will

292
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: slate in Australian, which means where you're like, hey, I'm Lola,

293
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I live in LA, this is my agent, blah blah

294
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: blah blah. So I do my slate nausey my audition

295
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: in American, and then I give them a second option

296
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: in my natural accent. Anyway, probably ever sharing, but that's

297
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I did an audition yesterday and it was improv based.

298
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: So I did in Aussie, which is always fun because

299
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: you can you feel funnier in Aussie. You don't feel

300
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: like I feel less funny when I'm improvising in an

301
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: American accent because I can't like there's a little bit

302
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: of a barrier because you're filtering the words and how

303
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: they would sound with an American accent, if that makes sense. Anyway,

304
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm probably oversharing as always. It's what

305
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: i'd though, isn't it, Gangles, That's exactly what I do.

306
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: So the you have it. You've had a movie review,

307
