1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, friends,

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: Diary app. We're back on regular schedule from Los Angeles.

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Right before I recorded or hit record, I naturally, as

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: one would, jumped on Insta and just learned that today

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: marks eighteen years since he fled. You passed away such

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: an incredibly, incredibly talented actor, and it's such a loss.

13
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I think, like even if like you've only seen even

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: like I don't know Batman or Broke Back Mountain or

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: there are so many wonderful things he's been in. I

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: would highly recommend watching A Night's Tale, which is romantic

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: and he's just wonderful to watch in it. But I

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: found a couple of Heath Ledger quotes and I thought

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I might share them before we kick off our diary,

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: just to play. There's that the right word. Yeah, play

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: homage to like somebody wonderful. So here's a quote. Here's

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: a couple of quotes that I just found. Stop wasting

23
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: your energy in worries. Use your energy to believe, create love,

24
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and heal. That's a Heath quote. This one's crazy. Your

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: biggest supporter is a stranger. Your biggest hater is someone

26
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: you know. That's also a quote of his. Everyone you

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: meet asks if you have a career, a marriage, or

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: own a house, as if life is some kind of

29
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: grocery list, but no one ever asks you if you're happy. Okay,

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: here's another. I only do this because I'm having fun.

31
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: The day I stop having fun or just walk away?

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: What a ledge? Anyway, I just want to share that.

33
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: And how interesting is this. I've been out this morning

34
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: having a couple of meetings and hanging with mates, and

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I wore my Heath I've got two Heath Ledger T

36
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: shirts and I wore one of them today. I didn't

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: think anything of it, and then have just realized that

38
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: it's like eighteen years since he passed away today. How crazy.

39
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you're at home tonight or over the weekend,

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: watch a Heath Ledger movie. You know, such a great okay,

41
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: last so we've officially been back a week, a week

42
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: and a bit like a week and three days. I

43
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: feel like we haven't stopped. To be honest, I feel

44
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: like I just feel like Matt and I had just like, go,

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: go go. That's our whole vibe. So what have we

46
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: been doing since we last spoke. I went for a

47
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: wonderful hike of Griffith Park. So basically when we were

48
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: in Australia, there was twenty five years worth of rain

49
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and so the air is really clear

50
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and it's looking super lush and green. Technically, Ala is

51
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: part of the desert, and so often it'll be quite

52
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: dusty and dry, and it'll look like a desert like

53
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: it looks dry and sandy and dusty. But right now

54
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: it looks lush and green and the air is really clear,

55
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: and the visibility, like you can see all the way

56
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: from that Griffith Observatory hike, you can see all the

57
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: way to the ocean. In Santa Monica, you can see

58
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: you can always see downtown because that's not too far away,

59
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: but you can see the San Benito Bernardo San Benino Mountains,

60
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: and there was snow on them, which means you're seeing

61
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: far away. So it's like, if you're visiting La I

62
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: want to say, in the next month, hike because the

63
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: air is like unusually clear, the visibility is so good,

64
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: and it's so lush and green, like it just looks gorgeous. Okay,

65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: So I did that with my friend Charlotte, who's a flippin' legend.

66
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: We went out last night with some friends to a

67
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: place called Figaro. I always call it for Gario, but

68
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's Figaro. It is a French bistro

69
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: in Los Fearless, but they do happy hour every single day,

70
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: and so we all had a happy hour Martiniz and

71
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: we all like them the same way Gin with a twist.

72
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: So that was really funny. We all like accidentally ordered

73
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: the same thing. That's a really good spot to go

74
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: if you want a people watch, because they've got loads

75
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of seating. Actually on it's on this famous kind of

76
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: street in Los Phelis called Vermont. It's like the same

77
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: street that like Little Doms is on, or maybe that's

78
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: on a Hillhurst, but they're parallel to one another. And

79
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: Los Fields kind of has like a really cool little

80
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: village feel to it. So it feels really I don't know,

81
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I want to say, like Liverpool, and it's where they

82
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: filmed a lot of what's the movie the TV show

83
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: not that Holy Mackerel, Weird, Kristen Bell and Seth. It's

84
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: like nobody but you, anybody but you anybody Anyway, that's

85
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: a lot of it. You can tell has shot in

86
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Lost Fields, which is no surprises. I'm pretty sure that's

87
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: where I know. That's where like Daxa's pod studio is

88
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: all around there, so it's such a fun little vibe

89
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: and area around there. There's a really cool old theater

90
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: around there. There's a really great bookstore with a tree

91
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of it around there. So if you

92
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: ever visiting, a good hack is to like do an

93
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: afternoon lost Feelers and like go for like lunch then

94
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: a happy hour, but like cruise and go see a

95
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: movie or check out the bookstore. Like there's a lot,

96
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot to kind of explore, and it's very

97
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: close to all the big hikes as well, so highly recommend.

98
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: What else has been happening. I caught up with two

99
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: mates this morning. I went to a coffee place called

100
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: a Get Them Tiger went to a juice place called Creation,

101
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: which I think I've talked to you about because I've

102
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: worked with them on creating cleanses. So that was really nice,

103
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: really yummy, really fun. I'm going on a real like

104
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: health kick at the moment. I did full medical checks

105
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: when we were back in Australia and Michael Stroll's a

106
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: pinch eye. So I'm really focused on working on my diet,

107
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: exercise and kind of being. I said to Matt, I

108
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: want to be my health era now, really like focus

109
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: on health and vitality and feeling good. I'm a little

110
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: bit of a stressor. I'm a little bit of an

111
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: A type personality, warrior overthinker, so I'm yesterday meditated, which

112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: is unheard of for me, and want to up the

113
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: yogas again. I haven't been to yoga for a little

114
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: while anyway. Also, since we last spoke, went to the

115
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Hollywood Farmer's Market. It's great. I think it's the best

116
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: farmer's market in Los Angeles. But there are heaps that

117
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: I haven't been to that are meant to be phenomenal,

118
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: Like I've heard at Water Village has a really good one.

119
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I've heard Pasadena has a really good one. The ones

120
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: that I have been to are like Santa Monica and

121
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: it's really good. I've been to I've done Silver Lake.

122
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: That one's kind of like small but like a vibe.

123
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I've done Echo Park again small vibe. What else? Anyway,

124
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: the Hollywood one is massive, It's huge. The produce is

125
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. Like I think we're spoiled for produce person

126
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: in Australia, but I would say the Hollywood farmer's market

127
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: is as close as being able to get to that

128
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't cost you the earth Like Air one is amazing,

129
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: but it's expensive. We all know that. Okay, what else

130
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: to tell you I'm going through my diary is I'm

131
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: telling you, Oh, I want to give you a little

132
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: update on pod plan. I did my whole pop plan

133
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: for Q one and Q two because I'm a nerd

134
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: like that. But basically, on Monday, you've got Damon Herryman

135
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: coming out. He's actually in a play that's touring Australia

136
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: called The Art. It's very, very funny. It's a short play.

137
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: It's like ninety minutes. The cast is incredible, it's a

138
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: three cast ensemble. But his episode comes out on Monday,

139
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: so I'll be editing that all weekend with the Bossachngo,

140
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and then you've got I don't know if you know this,

141
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: but when we went back home, I did a full

142
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: day of podcast recording in Sydney. I did six episodes.

143
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: So those six episodes are just gonna slowly come out now.

144
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: And then, as you know, Boss and I are heading

145
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: to south By Southwest in much and so I want

146
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: to like bring in some of that content as well,

147
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: because I've never been to a film festival that we're

148
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: both literally in. Like Codependent, the pilot that I acted

149
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: in and Boss composed on, is having its world premiere

150
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: plus two screenings and two panels. So that's like super

151
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: super exciting for the creators like Western and Wait, it's

152
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: like massively exciting, but also for us as part of

153
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,760
