1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you.

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Hello, Gangles.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: The week that was La Diari's Real Talk heads up

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: at the start, there might be a little bit of

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: tears when I give you the Pickle update, but I'm

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: going to start with the Dad stuff, which is really exciting.

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: So Dad landed from Australia. He's here for about a month.

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: He has been staying with us on a little block

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: better in our kitchen, very cute, and we're about to

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: go in about half an hour hour to Calabasas and Malibu.

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: It's Halloween here in America, and Halloween is a big

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: deal here in America, and so I think we're gonna

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: go to a pumpkin patch and go to like Malibu

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Beach because he's never been. And then he's doing a

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: little stay in Malibu and then next week we've just booked.

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: This morning, we've just booked flights. We've booked a com

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Next week, we're going to New York. Dad's never been,

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Matt's never been. How exciting. I'm really looking forward to

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: it as well. I haven't been in about probably ten years,

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: so it's probably gonna feel really different for me too.

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 1: And then we've got a Joshua Tree trip planned. Dad's

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: gone to Minnesota between that because he's got a bud

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: that lives in Minnesota. And then its Dad's birthday. So

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: it's all very exciting and we're just cramming in as

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: much hangtime as possible. I think I want to take

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: him to like Paramount Studios or Universal. I really want

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: to take him to the Chinese Theater, which is like

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: what all the movie premieres are. He's going to be

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: hearing Gladiator comes out, so I thought that would be

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: a really good one. Anyway, that's the Dad update. No

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: acting audition update. No auditions have come in this week.

38
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: Got some fun like influencer stuff that I'm filming on the.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: Weekend, so that's cool. And I've been at the yoga studio.

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I actually taught yin yoga last night, and it's the

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: basically the Yankees last night.

42
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: This is baseball.

43
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: The Yankees and the LA Dodgers were playing each other

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: last night in the World Series, so basically it's like

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: the baseball version of the Grand Final. And when I

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: started class, so there's nine innings in a baseball match,

47
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: and when I started class, I were up to the

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: seventh innings and the Yankees were ahead. But if the

49
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: Dodgers were to come back and win, they would win

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: the full World Series, and if they'd lost, there'd be

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: another playoff game because the Dodgers, I think, must have

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: had more games under their belt than the Yankees. Anyway,

53
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: it was all at Dodgers Stadium, and at the start class,

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I gave an update on the match the game, and

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: at the end I said, I'll tell you after Shavarsna

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: and we were at and at the end of class

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I gave an update and the La Dodgers had won,

58
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: and so that was really sweet, very exciting. Everyone was cheering.

59
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: It was like a really good vibe. And then as

60
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I was driving home at ten pm at night, there

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: were just like fireworks going off from Dodgers Stadium. So

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: there you go, there's a fun LA thing. World Series is

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: basically when they get into the finals. So if you're

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: ever in LA, definitely go to a Dodgers match. It's

65
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's a great atmosphere and even

66
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: like Americans just get so into sports festivities all that

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And I have a couple of Dodgers

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: caps and I was wearing my Dodgers cap. I wear

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: it all the time, especially when my hair is due

70
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: to be dyed because it hides my regrowth low. And

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: everyone was like, Dodgers, let's go Dodgers, and they're like,

72
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: they've got their favorite players. Everyone talks about their favorite players.

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: It feels like, you know, Footy season, like that Prime,

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: like that Premiere week in Australia in Melbourne. It feels

75
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: like that here in LA, and like you're going to shops,

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about the Dodgers and dah da da dah

77
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: because because it was at a home it was a

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: home match essentially, and they won. So that's really really exciting.

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun to.

80
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Be part of.

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: Now I am going to cry when I give you

82
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: the Pickle update. He first of all, it's good news,

83
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: so he didn't get this. He wasn't doesn't have the

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: life threatening virus called distemper that we thought he had.

85
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: He's also been cleared for PAVO and giardia, if I'm

86
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: saying that right.

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: But we were.

88
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: Only ever meant to have him for a couple of days.

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: We've ended up having him for two weeks, and obviously,

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: like I've fallen completely in love with him, and I

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: really wanted to keep him, if I'm being blatantly honest,

92
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: But we live in a very small space with like

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: no backyard for him, and he's going to be like

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: a little chunky monkey.

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: It's going to be a little I think he's.

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Half bulldog, half boxer frenchie, that kind of vibe. And anyway,

97
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 1: he had to go back to the rescue place last

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: night and I had to say goodbye yesterday. It was

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: so hard, And Matt said he was sitting at the

100
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: door when I left, just waiting for me to come

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: home from work, and I obviously didn't. He got picked

102
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: up by someone else. Sounds probably so crazy that I'm

103
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: crying over a dog I met two weeks ago, But

104
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: you know when the little heart just like kind of

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: imprints on you and yours imprints on it anyway, so

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: super hard to give him back. He essentially had more

107
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: vet he was because he was so sick when we

108
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: got him, like we took him to the vet twice.

109
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: He had to go to the vet again today that

110
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: the rescue lady was back, and it was like, I

111
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: need to take him to the vet, and like, because

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: you're I didn't know.

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: This is the first time fostered.

114
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: But because you're a foster, you're not on any of

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: you can't be on any of like the call sheets

116
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: with the vets, So I had.

117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: No idea how he was going.

118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: I was obviously we were all administered, me, Dad, and

119
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Matt all administering always, like antibiotics and stuff. And he

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: was definitely getting better. Like when we got him, he

121
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: was so sick you just sleep on your heart, like

122
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: on your chest. Added like he's put weight on and

123
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: he was nine pounds when we got him, which is

124
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: about four kilo, and even the last vet check we

125
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: took him to he was eleven. So he's putting on weight.

126
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: He's looking healthy and happy. He's just still got these

127
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of like viral signs like snotty nose and a

128
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: little bit of blood in his stools.

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: And all that kind of thing.

130
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: But he's on the mend, so I know's hope he

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: goes to the best home Ember. But because you're a

132
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: foster and you're not adopting, like you literally just have

133
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: to give him back and it's so hard. Like anybody

134
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: here that's listening to this at Foster's, I completely admire

135
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: you because I don't know that my heart could go

136
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: through that again.

137
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: I am besondered with this little pup.

138
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: And I said to Matt, I was like, I just

139
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: and I know I've been really open with you guys

140
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: about how hard it is to live in La financially

141
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: and we can't afford yet to move out and have

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: a backyard with the pub. So I said to Matt

143
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: last night, it's like, I.

144
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: Just I want to be in a position where if

145
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: we do foster, I.

146
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Don't want to adopt.

147
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: We financially can, but at the moment we can't.

148
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: So it's kind of.

149
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: A good like wake up call to just like keep

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: keep going, like keep trying to get that manager, keep

151
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: trying to have those wins, like keep you know, just

152
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: trying to make it essentially, but like, and I know

153
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: that this whole pot is about real talk, but I

154
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: think and that's that's like I think as well, this

155
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: has been a big lesson for me because like I

156
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: had so much joy with this little puff and I

157
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: think that's what I really attached to him, because a

158
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of the time it does feel like such a

159
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: grind here.

160
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, so.

161
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: I think, like helping you get so much healthier, I

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of attached myself to that as well. And it

163
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: was like I was so excited every day I come

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: home from work, and you know, workers work like they

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: are good days and there are crappier days. And knowing

166
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: that I was always coming home to the pup kind

167
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: of like made me really excited, you know. So anyway,

168
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: that's the update. He's super healthy. I hope he goes

169
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: to an amazing friber home. I've asked the rescue people

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: to put us in touch with them so that we

171
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: can dog sit for them and get to know how

172
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: he gets on. The rescue place has called him Otis.

173
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: We think he's at Pickle, so we call him Pickle.

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: But I've had a lovely family reach out to me

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: and I've put them forward to the rescue place.

176
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: So fingers and toes crossed.

177
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that I could put myself through fostering

178
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: unless I was open to adopting again, my heart is

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: way too soft for that. And Dad said, oh, You've

180
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: always been a sentimental when it comes to animals.

181
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: So Dad's a vet.

182
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: So it was really good when Dad was here to

183
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: be able to hang with him and check in on

184
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: him and look at his progress and whatnot. But yeah,

185
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: completely besodled with him. Wish we could adopt him. We're

186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: just financially not there. Like pet insurance in America is

187
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifty dollars or one hundred tow

188
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars a month plus, like, you know,

189
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: just him being healthy would be an investment.

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: And I'm just.

191
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: It's so sad to me that I'm not in a

192
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: position to be able to support a pub And Matt's like,

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Matt's been amazing. He's like, you're thinking only with your heart.

194
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: He's like, you gotta think logically.

195
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: It's like, this beautiful put needs a family, a backyard,

196
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: he needs to run around.

197
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: He's like, we live in a tiny apartment.

198
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: So anyway, he's on to his next phase.

199
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: Of the journey.

200
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: How lucky we got him for two weeks, but I

201
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: really miss him, and I also don't want to be

202
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: a sad sack. Well Dad's here either, so I'm gonnahead

203
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: to Malibu recent my energy and just send him all

204
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: the love. But yeah, tough, any of you that foster,

205
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 3: You're amazing. I do not think I am cut out

206
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: for it unless I know I'm going to adopt.

207
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: So sorry for all the tears. The real talk is definitely.

208
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Very real today, and I'm thank you for creating a

209
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: space where I can just be really honest about that

210
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: with you. And I promise, while I hope next week

211
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: is a little more positive, a little bit more of

212
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: a positive check in, I'll actually be away in New

213
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: York when the next pod comes out. The next diary

214
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: comes out, so I may have to record it a

215
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: day earlier than us. And also Monday's episode will be

216
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: with me. It's a nutrition episode all long on longevity.

217
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I was going to bring it out last week, but

218
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: because we had I interviewed the beautiful Natasha Webber on

219
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: the pod. Oh sorry, next Monday episode is going to

220
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: be a Natasha Webber because I interviewed her last week

221
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: and I bought her old episode out to time in

222
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: with that. So you got a fresh new episode this week,

223
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: and the week after that will be me talking longevity,

224
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: I believe. Oh anyway, you're just getting the inner workings

225
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: of my mind right now. All right, hohoru, have a

226
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: wonderful day.

227
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: I hope, I in.

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Hope not too much for Debbie Downer, but I just

229
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: would rather be transparent and honest. To be honest, it's

230
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: just my whole jam. Big love, You're unreal. Have a

231
