Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: to from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time,

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, weekly

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: diary catch up coming to from LA. We've just had

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: fourth of July here, so I've got lots of update

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: you on in the week. That was some exciting stuff

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: coming up on the PODO as well. So first of all,

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I I'm guessing the e that you most recently may

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: have listened to is Monty. Monty Franklin was on the

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: pod on Monday. Very inspiring human being, actually coming to

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Australia to do a stand up comedy tour. I put

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: all the deep like in the show notes if you're

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Keno and I just found him really inspiring. Like even

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: if you're not into comedy or stand up or you know,

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I just think if you're a creative like actor, musician, writer,

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: any of that, you'd probably find it inspiring because he's

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: been in LA for ten years and it's kind of

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: like been in that Ala slog and grind and shares

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: really openly about his belief system on like the highs

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and the lows it but also like how to make

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: it essentially as he's about to his first massive feature

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: film with like Rob Schneider and John Cleese. So that's

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: a really good app to listen to if you want

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: to hear a bit behind scenes. Also, his like reels

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: and tiktoks have had like bazillian views too, so he's

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: like gone viral on socials as well.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was your Monday episode.

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: I am interviewing someone tomorrow that I have been trying

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: to get on the podcast since I arrived here, so

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: what four or five months ago now, And there's been

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth and even and today

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: the time just got changed. But it's completely locked and

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: loaded in now, so I can probably say I'm sure

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I can say here it is even if they if

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: for some reason it doesn't happen, I can tell you

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: all about it. But huge influence influencer. Her name is

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Chef Base, so she is a private celebrity chef and

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: then as self self proclaimed mayor of Air One. So

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: air One, you know that amazing, delicious place that I

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: love to go. She shops for all her celebrity clients

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: and has done like food collabs with them and lots

47
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: of amazing stuff. I'm about to after I hit send

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: on this audio file for Boss, I'm about to deep

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: dive some more research research of her. Interesting getting a

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: big like she's got quite a big social media presence,

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: very like an American guest as opposed to an Aussie one.

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: It's just an interesting process rebooking the client. Like there's

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a full team behind her and like or questions had

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: to be pre delivered and approved and if you know,

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: if you know me in this pod, like I'm quite

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: lax and kind of like love it to be really

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: really conversational, and those questions had to be approved two

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: months ago, maybe even three months ago. So it's just

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: really interesting when you get a profile where they've got

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: a whole gang working with them, that it's got to

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: get through kind of like legal and their management and

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: check that it's in line with their publicist and all

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Pretty sure, she's filming a TV

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: show as well, so I'm going to ask about that,

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: So there you go. So we'll expediate that that'll come

66
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: out Monday, provide everything goes swimmingly tomorrow. And I'm literally

67
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: going from I've got to work at the Yogres show

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: in the morning, then I've got her staff meeting and

69
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: then i jet straight back here, meet her in the

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: lobby we record and happy days. So I'm hoping that

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: everything tomorrow goes really really smoothly. But that is who

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: we've got coming on the pod. I also start acting

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: school tonight, which I'm so nervous aout because I've always

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: wanted to train at this sitcom acting school, and I've

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: always been so nervous because so many working actors train

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: here and I'm just like, oh, like, I technically haven't

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: booked an acting gig yet other than like commercially stuff

78
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: I did is myself back in Australia, so I'm excited,

79
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: but I'm also like super self conscious and nervous. So

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: it's in Hollywood too, so it's so far away from me,

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: but I'm determined.

82
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: And it's night school.

83
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Night school scares me being in school so late at night,

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm just like rolling with it

85
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: and really excited. And I've got to go up in

86
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: American dialect. So I've let my script on American dialect.

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: You've got to be off book and know you scriptly. Well,

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I've got it here. I'm gonna give you a little taste

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's a scene from a sitcom.

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: It's light and fun.

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: think the trick if to any Aussie coming over here,

93
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: is to really work on your American dialect because it's

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: so so easy to like it's a muscle that easily

95
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: kind of like loses its fitness. And so I was like,

96
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: as soon as I got the scripts, i was like,

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: quick booked him with my favorite dialect coach and away

98
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: we went.

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: So when I work with my.

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: Dialect coach, he gives me a vowel list to work

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: on for like, and they're like tongue twisters for the accent.

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: So I'm going to give you a few.

103
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: And the idea is it's like tongue twisters, so it's

104
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: common to trip up, but you do it on dialect.

105
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to do like four little sentences here,

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: one at a time, and it'll sound like an interesting sentence,

107
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: because we're trying to hit different vowels in each sentence

108
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: to kind of like get your mouth used to saying

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: the vowels in a different way.

110
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: So here we go.

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: The task was the last that the past master could grasp.

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: But one can't mark his charm harmfully. The stern learner

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: heard from a bird how to burn turf in Turkey

114
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: and Burma. A bored walker swore talking about corn was

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: a chore in the storm torn store. Outside the law,

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: she was seen to be evil in the mean streets

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: where bees feed and schemes are. The key tombs are

118
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: used for new moves to lose the clues about astute

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: losers whose crude boots bruise the loose newts hard, right,

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: I really I do. Turf trips me up. That stern

121
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: leerner heard from a bird how to burn turf turf

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: in Turkey and Burma. So I do my tongue twisters

123
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: like I do my vowe list, and then I hit

124
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: the script. So I'm going to give you two little

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: chunks from the script, and I'm doing it in American dialect.

126
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I know he just has to dunk block and go

127
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: to the bank. It's just it's just wrong. When you

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: make that kind of money, you should sink complaint folded

129
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: with a peg leg. Shack just makes me mad. Okay,

130
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: Malam Molena just moved in and they still managed to

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: go out and have a good time tonight.

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: What's wrong with us? Honey?

133
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: We used to have plans, we used to get out,

134
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: whether it was moonlight, rowler bleeding, or touring the museums?

135
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: What happened to that?

136
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: So I've been working with my dialect coach around making

137
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: it more naturalistic as opposed to like hitting every rhodic

138
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: r like the And the first line of this script

139
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: is so hard, like there's two rs in words that

140
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: like trip you up. So there's this line where I

141
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: have to go because Shaq can't shoot free throws. And

142
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: it's fine if you slow it down like that, but

143
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: you've got to do it quick, right, because it's it's

144
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: comedy and it's naturalistic. So the opening line is the

145
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: leakers don't stand a chance against the balls because Shack

146
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: can't shoot free throws. Okay, I'm probably doing it fine now,

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: but like I've been like tripping on can't shoot free throws,

148
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and I've been splitting up free and throws, but it's

149
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of like one word, like free throws.

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Anyway, I get it. Tonight, I'm a little bit nervous

151
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: but also excited.

152
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: So it's a night class, so five pm it says

153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: till eleven pm or later, so I'm gonna expect that

154
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be like a midnight ending, and then

155
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna get home at one and then i

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: work at the yoga Stueo tomorrow morning. So you know,

157
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: just a busy old couple of days here in Lola

158
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: World Lowland. Speaking of yoga, I did another audition for

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: teaching this time year. It was a callback audition, so

160
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I'd done my original audition for like a power vinyasa

161
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: and had applied for you, and they're like, yep, come

162
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: back in and doyin.

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: So I really.

164
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: Like teaching it. And it's different teaching in heat. Usually

165
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: yein is practice cooler, so you kind of have to,

166
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: I guess, change the way you teach slightly because you're

167
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: teaching in a heated room and the postures affect the

168
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: body slightly differently when the body is heated versus not,

169
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: because you get this like extra flaxibility in the heat

170
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't get out of the heat. Essentially, I've

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: been I set myself a little goal to like really

172
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: focus on Yog's for the next couple of weeks. I

173
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: do go to yogur a lot, but I'm really trying

174
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: to get some daily practice in at the moment, especially

175
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: with acting school and being quite nervous and anxious about

176
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: it and wanting to give it my best.

177
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: I guess because also I'm.

178
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: Just like I love being with the big dogs, like

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: the working actors, but that's also super nerve racking and

180
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: super confronting. So I just want to, like, you know,

181
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: give it my all.

182
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Radio.

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: What else have I got to update on? Let's talk

184
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: fourth of July. So I wore I worked fourth of July.

185
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Fun fact here, if you work on a holiday, public holiday,

186
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: just like in Australia, you get paid time and a half.

187
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: So that was handy.

188
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: And I think I told you that, Like when I

189
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: convert the Australian dollar, like I pay for my car,

190
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: I rent my car off Australians and so Australians that

191
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: used to live over here, and so when I convert

192
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: and pay them like they ask for money in American dollars,

193
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: but I pay it from an Australian account. The conversion

194
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: at the moment is sixty three cents to the dollar

195
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: to the American dollar, so it is nice to have.

196
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Although the pay isn't like super high, it is really

197
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: nice to have like regular income in American dollars, just

198
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: so I can keep building my credit rating, which is.

199
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Like a whole rig morale.

200
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: If you are coming to LA, you need to build

201
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: credit rating literally from the ground up. Okay, I went

202
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: and saw a mate's play in Silver Lake on Friday night.

203
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: It was I'm not good at late nights, I tell you, Like,

204
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so nervous about acting school tonight. The

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: play started at ten pm, so I met up with

206
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: my old acting coach, the beautiful Jackie. We had lunch,

207
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: sorry dinner together at a place called Figaro, And that

208
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: was back in Lost Feelss where I used to live.

209
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: For anyone that's been listening for a while and figure

210
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: out do amazing salads. It's a French place. It's a

211
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: French bistro, but you can kind of get me everything there.

212
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I just got a mixed salad and then I got

213
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: a side of avocado.

214
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: Should have got avocado. I got artichoke, but.

215
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: It was like deep fried, and I was like what,

216
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: and so were like auto choke carts deep fried and

217
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: then you kind of dip them in this like almost

218
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: ten zicky kind of dip thing. I'm not into like

219
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: highly batter and stuff, but it was like a fun experience.

220
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: And then I had the house pino and that was

221
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: lovely too. Good thing about Figaro if you're new to

222
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: La or in that east side, LA's like silver Lake

223
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Echo Park Loos Feelers. They have happy hour every single day,

224
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: so I think we got there in time. Our first

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: drinks were on a happy hour and I think a

226
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: glass of pino was seven dollars, so it's like the

227
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: same price as a coffee in La, which is wild

228
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: so and then I think after eight it clicks over

229
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: to non how like non happy hour, but like you

230
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: can't even get cocktails for like nine ten dollars, Like

231
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: it's quite good value if you're just hankering for like

232
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: a yummy meal and a nice wine or drink, and

233
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: their nice Nooi salad is also delicious. Highly recommend. Then

234
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: we went to our friends play most Play and it

235
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: was awesome. It's so nice to see people that you

236
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: know shining like it's very inspiring. And a few of

237
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: us because I met my acting school and so a

238
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: few of us from acting school were there, so the

239
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: acting school that I started at when I first came

240
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: to LA So it was kind of nice because I

241
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: haven't been back to that acting school. I've kind of

242
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: moved around and as you know, done lots of voice training.

243
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: I did a different acting school about a month ago.

244
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm about to start a whole new acting school,

245
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, it was nice to catch up with the

246
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: old gangles. I've also started teaching private yoga classes here,

247
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: lots of fun, better money than working for a company,

248
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: but obviously less consistent. So the good thing about working

249
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: for yoga studo is you get consistency. But then the

250
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: good thing about doing privates is you get to charge more.

251
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: You go to people's house and you're just working one

252
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: on one, so it's really cool. You can kind of

253
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: like stop if they're like, oh, I really want to

254
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: work on my lumbar spine or can we please work

255
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: on hips today, and you can really tailor the yoga

256
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: for what they need and for what's going on.

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: In their body.

258
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: I had someone this week that does jiu jitsu and

259
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: really want to work on hips, and so we did

260
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: a lot of like posers based around the hips.

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: So it's really cool.

262
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: It's a very different experience teaching a private versus teaching

263
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: to a group of people. But I'm excited to be

264
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: doing both because, as you know, I'm coming back to

265
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Australia for Wonderlust and for the Melbourne Gold Coast locations,

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing a Q and A like someone's interviewing me.

267
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: How fun, how exciting. And then on the Sydney location,

268
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing another Q and A as in being interviewed.

269
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why I keep calling it Q and A.

270
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: And then I'm teaching to yoga classes at the Sydney

271
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Wanderlust too, So I've already been thinking about playlists and

272
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: sequence and all the fun stuff. And I checked, just

273
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: checked two days ago that they're going to have access

274
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: to playlists because I think yoga and music are like

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: the best combo ever. All right, I have some little

276
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: foodie reviews and updates for you. Oh, I went to

277
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. It is on Arizona and

278
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: third really great, great way to get veggies and stuff,

279
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: and because usually I'm working on Saturdays, it just so

280
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: happened that I wasn't rosted on last Saturday, and I

281
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, what a treat, did a big beach

282
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: walk and ended at the Farmer's market and just got

283
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: like the young like fresh berries, and I got like leaks, broccoli,

284
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: brussels so good, so yummy, and it's it's like it's

285
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: summer here. So I was like peach and stone fruit

286
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: season so good, oh, so good. Oh and then I've

287
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: got stuff to review from you from Trader Joe's. Oh okay,

288
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: so you know I've got some weird addiction to mochi.

289
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: The strawberry one, specifically green tea is also good, but

290
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: they've bought out a I think it's called oomb but

291
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: it means it's purple yams, or as we would call it,

292
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: purple sweet potato, really yummy, and they're bright purple. So

293
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: obviously got sucked into the mochi thing because I'm gluten

294
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: free and it's basically ice cream with a little dough

295
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: casing around it, but it's made from rice flours, so

296
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: gluten free, still got sugar, still got dairy, and all

297
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: the other inflammatory things, and I'm sure some sea oil

298
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: is in there, so I really need to rain it in.

299
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: But I just had to tell you that I know

300
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: that purple Yam flavor is a limited run. They only

301
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: do it at certain times the year, and I was

302
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: very glad I got to try it, very very yummy.

303
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: I've also got back They've restocked there chili onion oil

304
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: and the jalapino cilantro limes. Cilantro is American's word for

305
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: coriander oils, and so they're really yummy on like eggs

306
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: and it amamae beans and crackers and all the good stuff.

307
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: So that was amazing. What else to tell you, Okay,

308
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: tea TV show review. I'm in two minds about reviewing

309
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: this for you because it sucked me in. But it

310
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: was a hard watch in that it was hard to

311
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: sleep afterwards. It was a bit spooky, it was a

312
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: little bit scary. It's Yellowjackets. Beautifully written, runs on two storylines,

313
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: one storyline set in nineteen ninety six, one storyline set

314
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: in present day. The casting of the adult and kid

315
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: versions was really good and it wasn't jarring going back

316
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: and forth timeline wise, and it was I was as

317
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: somebody that would hit the demo of more the older character.

318
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: I was still invested in the young teenage version of

319
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: the story too, Like you know when your parents you'd

320
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: watch used to watch Dawson's Creek or The OC with

321
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: your parents. You know your parents are watching the older

322
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: characters and you're watching the teenage characters, and that's kind

323
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: of all you thought about.

324
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: I get not worry.

325
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm aware of that when I watch shows, and I

326
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: think that this show's really good because you're constantly aware

327
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and rooting for characters in both storylines, if that makes sense.

328
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: We're in both times lines. Very amazing. But yeah, hard

329
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: to sleep a couple of nights because it is a

330
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: little bit like Witchy and Culty and a bit woo woo.

331
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: And then it's not like scary in that like a

332
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: monster is going to come out or anything like that,

333
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: although there is one character that has no eyes that's

334
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: very scary that someone like sees visions of which I

335
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: did not enjoy. But it's integral to the show. But

336
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: what makes it so scary is actually the composing and

337
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: the soundtrack and whoever the I should look up who

338
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: the composers are, because it's really eerie, and it's got

339
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: this like really haunting female, like witchy eerie voice that

340
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: like it's like it's not even witchy, it's just like

341
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: so spooky that whenever her voice comes in, you're like, oh, oh,

342
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: here we go, something bad's about to happen. So yeah,

343
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: very very beautifully written, very well done. So I've watched

344
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: both seasons. There's definitely going to be a third season

345
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: for sure, i'd say, And it's got that amazing Kiwi

346
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: actress in it, Melanie Night. I don't have a I

347
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: don't know what her second name is. She was on

348
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: Ever After, She's she was on the Last of Us,

349
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: she ran the Rebel Gang. She is a lead on

350
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: Yellow Jackets, and her American accent is absolutely flawless, like

351
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: so naturalistic, to the point that when you hear it

352
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: in interviews and hear her Kiwi accent, you're like, what,

353
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: she sounds more natural as an American almost, Like it's

354
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: so fascinating. So she's really kind of like honed it

355
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: and got it absolutely bang on. I'm pretty sure she's

356
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: been out in America forever, like I reckon. She came

357
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: out here as like a late teen, early twenty like

358
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: a long time, fully lives out here everything.

359
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Okay, what else am I god to tell you?

360
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, because I was struggling with the sleep thing

361
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: of Yellow Jackets because it was so scary. My trick

362
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: was I'd watched ten minutes of Maverick Top Gun because

363
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: obviously it's like an amazing popcorn movie that is like

364
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: like you understand the plot, you know the plot. I've

365
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: also watched it like fifteen times, so it's like a happy,

366
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: feel good movie for me.

367
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: So that was my trick.

368
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: After I'd finished watching Al Jackson, before I go to bed,

369
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: I'd watch like just ten minutes of Maverick, and that

370
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: would like get my head out of yellow Jackets mode

371
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: because I was so scared.

372
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: I did tell you about fourth of July, did I?

373
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: Or did I not? So my friend Chanel came over.

374
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: We did sauna and pool, rooftop hang and then how

375
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: I worked on my lines for acting school, and then

376
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: literally after that, came home, had a therapy. My therapist

377
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: is Australian, so I do it on zoom when I'm

378
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: living here, and then literally my dinner, got into my

379
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: pajamas and then as soon as the fireworks started, went

380
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: up to the rooftop in my PJS and just watched

381
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: the fireworks from this beautiful rooftop of where I'm staying.

382
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: And when the cool thing was, I could see from

383
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: this rooftop in Santa Monica. I could see fire It's

384
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: in downtown, at the Dodgers Stadium, at the Hollywood Bowl,

385
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: like you could see at like Pacific Palisades one way,

386
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: then Venice Beach the other way. You could see if

387
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: I was just popping off all over the city. So

388
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: that was really cool to see. I've never experienced Fourth

389
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: of July like that. I guess I had a really

390
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: super chilled Fourth of July as well, but I kind

391
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: of like, you know me, I love wholesome life. That's

392
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: that's just who I am. So yeah, from the next

393
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: from today, I start an acting school boot camp, so

394
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: that'll be a huge part of my life for the

395
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: next four weeks, so you'll get lots of updates. I

396
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: think the workload is heavy. The expectation is that when

397
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: we're not in class, we're rehearsing for a minimum of

398
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: three hours a day. So even tomorrow, I'm like, oh

399
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: my goodness, I've got work. Then I've got a staff

400
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: meeting that I've got a podcast, and then I'm like

401
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: shiver me timbers, like I'm guessing. I'm hoping I can

402
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: do self rehearsal tomorrow night as opposed to going into

403
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: the studio in Hollywood, because it's about an hour each

404
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: way Hollywood Santa Monica, so it's a lot of driving.

405
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: And then the following day, like I'm working in the

406
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: morning and I'm really hoping i can do it rehearsal

407
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: in the arvo. So anyway that is me and then

408
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: I've got school on Saturday and then working at the

409
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: yoga studio between that. So I'm looking forward to school.

410
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm also a little bit anxious and nervous about it.

411
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Their teacher is like really renowned in LA and like

412
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: a real big wig, like really really big yoga acting teacher,

413
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: probably in America, the biggest one I've ever trained with.

414
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: So I'm nervous excited. It's like referral based and you

415
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: auditioned to get into the school. So I actually auditioned

416
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: last year right before I went back to Australia, and

417
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: all their classes were still online and I was like, oh,

418
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: I think I really want to do these classes in person,

419
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: and then flick back to in person. So I'm excited

420
00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: that they're in real life and in person, and I'm yeah,

421
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: so freaking nervous though, so nervous anyway, That is me Gangles,

422
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting you Chef Bay on the pod

423
