Speaker 2: The Whipper Snipper to stop for the last hour at

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: the front, so I'm crossing my fingers and toes that

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: we have lovely sound. And I moved all the pod

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: gear into different rooms and I was like, is this

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: where I'm going to be quite know the Whipper Snipper one.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: So I've waited and waited all morning until Whipper Snipper

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: sounding pod. As always, I have notes for you if

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 2: you're new to this. Basically, I've just recently moved to LA,

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: and I make a list of all things that happen

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: in the week of moving to LA and random things

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: like setting up bank accounts, collecting green cards, like all

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: these things that although it feels very similar to Australia

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: culturally and just like from a processing perspective, it's very

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: very different.

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I spent three hours yesterday at the.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: Bank and I was like, whoa, this is so different

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: to back home. And ps, I got Mickey Mouse on

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,440

00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: Anyway, I've got my list. I've got props to talk

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: to you about. Can you hear that? That's a prop

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: that I'm going to talk to you about down the track.

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: I've picked up some preses for Boss, so I'm going

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: to run you through some stuff.

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: So this is a diary check in. I always think

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: it's going to be fifteen minutes. I generally have a

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: tendency to rab it on though, although I'm going to

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 2: really try and stick to my notes today.

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to do everything I can to stick to

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: my notes to day.

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: And I do want to say one quick thing that

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: isn't LA based at all, but we just launched Lola

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: coffee pods videgradable compostible. The bag is compossible as well.

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Even the coffee roaster runs on renewable Soulo energy. So

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: please check out Lolla Coffee and check out our brand

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: new little baby, the pods, because they have been, like

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: I reckon, a year and a half in the making,

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: such a big process, and we've had pod machines not work.

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of issue with it.

53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: So it's so nice to see it finally physically come

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: to life.

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't think.

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Bosses like, it's going to launch when you're in LA,

57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've been talking

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: about that for a year and he'say, in noet'll launch when

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: you're in LA.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: And it has launched. It launched yesterday.

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Okay, onto the list. Let's start wildlife. I have seen

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: my first ever hummingbird. There are hummingbirds here up there

63
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: are so much smaller than you'd think they are. They're

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: like the size of a cockroach. But they're a really

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: cute little hummingbird, super fast. So I haven't been able

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: to film any yet, but gorgeous butterflies everywhere, bumblebees, not

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: bumble bees because bumblebees are those big, fluffy looking bumble bees,

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: but regular bees as well. I think there's so many

69
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: flowers and so many plants and all that kind of

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: jazz around here as well.

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: I also have seen more coyotes.

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: In fact, every night when I shut the windows, I'm like,

73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: let's have a little scout for coyotes. A few people

74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: wrote me and were like, how what a wonderful omen

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: you know you've got a wolf near you, And I'm like,

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: don't think they're wolves. They're more slinky and a bit sly,

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: and they've been known to take little puppies off leads

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: like scrab them and launch at cats, puppies, small dogs,

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: So I get get the vibe they're a little bit opportunistic.

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: They feel sly. The energy feels a bit sly, Like

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: I saw one walking down the middle of the road

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: and he or she was fully eyeballing this human walking

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: on the other side of the road, and I was like, wow,

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think they've gone after humans. Like

85
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: I googled coyote attacks and it's mainly like small children,

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: animal like small animals and cat like cats and pups

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: and small dogs.

88
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: There you go.

89
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Although there is a mountain lion in the area, which

90
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: I would love to see. P.

91
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Twenty two.

92
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: It's cold, I'd love to so a Mountain Lion is

93
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: a cougar that was new to me learning that this week.

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: I've also recorded in the last week two LA based

Speaker 2: was gluten free, dairy free. I think I got a

159
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: paleo granola and peanut butter on top of mine, so yum.

160
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: Then on the way home, I went passed via air one,

161
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: didn't I or Era one, and I got my Oh yeah,

162
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: I got my Mexican taco salad that I love from there. Oh,

163
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: and I tried, I feel like I've written this down.

164
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: I got my vegan taco salad, and then I tried.

165
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: I took a photo for you so I could explain

166
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: it to you. This raw vegan cinnamon scroll shut the

167
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: front door. I deliberately took a photo because I was like,

168
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: I need to know what's in it so that I

169
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: can share it with you.

170
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: Where is it?

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: Here?

172
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: It is? So it's from Era.

173
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: One organic grollser in caffe raw cinnamon scroll or roll.

174
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: They don't call it a scroll, so it's maybe gluten

175
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: free oat flower over here. Gluten free oat flower is

176
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: a thing in Australia. Oats like thirty percent of sili

177
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: x reactor oats. So some people are like that oats

178
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: are gluten free. Technically they've got a protein that's very

179
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: similar to gluten. But in America, when you buy oats,

180
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: it will specify if it's gluten free oats or not. Anyway,

181
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: I don't guess ingredients gluten free oat flour, pecans, pecans,

182
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: filtered water, maple syrup, date sillium, husk, cinnamon, vanilla extract,

183
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: top tech rolls. I think that's vitamin he isn't it

184
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: pink salt and it's organic. It was really good. It

185
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: was like a much healthier you know, I've been having

186
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: pumpkin pie and pecan pie and all these delicious indulgent things.

187
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: This taste of healthier, like was all vegan. You know,

188
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: you got the gist all vegan, raw clean, blah blah blah.

189
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: I also got these, you know, by now I'm like

190
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: really into peanut butter cups, and I got these evolved

191
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: caramel butter cups, dark chocolate, paleo vegan. The ingredients were

192
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: super clean, it was it's certified USDA organic. However, when

193
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: I got home, was fully melted, so it was just

194
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: like eating raw vegan sauce, like a caramel sauce. So

195
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: I'd give that one like two out of ten, just

196
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: because it didn't hold its shape. That said it's been

197
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: a heat wave in LA. Whereas the cinnamon scroll, I'd

198
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: give that like, you know, a six or seven out

199
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: of ten. And then I'm looking at the bowls I

200
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: was just telling you about. So the topping online was

201
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: like rauca cow honey, banana and granola and peanut butter.

202
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: And the topping on the dragon fruit bowl was blueberry,

203
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: strawberry dessicated, coconut, granola and hemp seeds, both very good.

204
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: I would one hundred percent go back to that place.

205
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: So Sun Life Organics pop that on your eating. In

206
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: our label, it's a chain, so it's like there's Creation Juice.

207
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: What are the other juice bars here, there's Press Juice,

208
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: which came to Australia for a few years. I don't

209
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: know if anyone remembers. And yeah, Sun Life Organics highly

210
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: recommend really good, really yummy. Also, while I was at

211
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: Era Wan, I picked up some prases for the boss.

212
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: So he loves CBD stuff and sleep things because he

213
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: has trouble with insomnia and anxiety in the past. In

214
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: the past anxiety, but now he really loves hacking his

215
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: sleep like he's one of those people that will try

216
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: like the latest sleep remedy. So like we both wear

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: blue blockers and stuff like that. So I got him

218
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: a few praises. So the first product is called Guya

219
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: Herbs Sleep Support hemp and herbs with hops, California poppy

220
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: and other herbs traditionally used for supporting a good night's sleep.

221
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: But of course it has the organic hemp cannabis sat

222
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: va extract in it with twenty milligrams of cannabinoids. So

223
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: the ego, I hope that makes more sense to you

224
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: than it does for me. So yeah, that brand's called

225
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: Guya Herbs. And then I got him one for daytime.

226
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: So they've got this. There's this product called Ultra Life Sport,

227
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: and this product's called Beyond Limits Focused by four water

228
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: soluble activated HEMPX extract but copaquarters EPs, lions Maine, which

229
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: we've got, Mola, coffee, gabba and toppeens or turpens anyway,

230
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: so I got him a four pack of that, and

231
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: then I spoke about this ages ago when I was

232
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: having trouble sleeping with jet lag. It's called Prima or primer,

233
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how they say it here in America.

234
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: The products rest easy.

235
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: It is fifteen milligrams of Hemp, CBD plus, Cameile, Passion,

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: Flower Hops, Valerian, and al cnine, So I've got him

237
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: that as well. So he's gonna get a little package

238
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: of fun stuff to try because he loves doing that.

239
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 2: So it's a little pressy for the Bosco. And at

240
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: Trader Joe's they sell really cute little cards, so I

241
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: got this really cute card again. I hopefully doesn't listen this,

242
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 2: but it says I like you more than junk food,

243
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: which he knows that about my Yeah, it's been a

244
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: massive heat wave. There was a fire on my street

245
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: this week, like full blown, like helicopters, fire trucks, massive

246
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: ballowing smoke coming out an apartment block like just down

247
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: from me. So I think it was all fine in

248
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: the end, but like I walked out to have a

249
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: squeeze at it, and it was like pieces of ash

250
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: flying down the street and all you could smell was smoke.

251
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: So I quickly came back inside. Went to the American

252
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: Post Office for the first time because Boss sent me

253
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 2: a gift pack with like the Lolo coffee pods and

254
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: some more clothes and things like that in it, so

255
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: that was cool. It's the US postal services, like Matt

256
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: was saying, like one of the longest standing things ever.

257
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: And I had to post some things to my landlord.

258
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, look at me go into the post office,

259
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: go on to the bank, getting my green card. So

260
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: officially got my green card, which is like a little

261
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: it looks like a license with the Statue of Liberty

262
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: behind your head and the American flag and it's green

263
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: as well, in case you're wondering, and it's I use

264
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: that instead of a passport when I come in and

265
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: out of America.

266
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: It's.

267
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing that I've worked five years to get,

268
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: it's really hard to get.

269
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: So I have officially got that.

270
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: That's what this whole trip was for to physically get that.

271
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: But because of the Australian rules with leaving the country

272
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: at the moment, I decided to set up shop here

273
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: because while I I'll get back in like apparently if

274
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: you go back to Australia within ninety days because you've

275
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: signed a stat deck saying you'll be out of the

276
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: country for more than ninety days, apparently they can put

277
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: you in jail. I heard, please correct me if I'm wrong.

278
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: I could be totally off the mark there, but yeah,

279
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: so that's why I'm here, like setting up shop and

280
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: really building a home in LA and then I'll come

281
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: back to Australia tour the book. So I've been working

282
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: really hard on the manuscript. I'm about to do my

283
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: next little hit of the manuscript straight after this pod.

284
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Got the final version of the cover, so I think

285
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: we get to release that in a few weeks. So yeah,

286
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm really pumped about the book. So that's an Aussie

287
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: release and it'll be out November, and that's what I'll

288
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: come back.

289
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: To Australia for.

290
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: And for one other thing that is really exciting that

291
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: I will be announcing on the podcast on Monday, Cumings

292
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: episode is the guest. Oh also mysterious. But yeah, so

293
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: some cool stuff happening, all right.

294
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: What else? Yeah, I've talked about Matt and is CBD. Oh.

295
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: I tried a four Sigmatica, which is a brand over

296
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: here that does like coffee and reddietal mushrooms a bit

297
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: like Lolla Coffee. I tried their cocow mix. It was okay,

298
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: but it says to mix it with hot water and

299
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: it just tasted like watery coco like I think if

300
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: I had it with a nutmelk or an oat milk

301
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: or coconut milk, it would taste a lot better, but yeah,

302
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: just tasted a little bit dirt it like because it

303
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: was I was only handing it with.

304
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Water, which is what the directions called for.

305
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, Okay, this next thing I haven't admitted

306
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: to you yet.

307
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So I found it.

308
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: You know when you're falling a you know, when you're

309
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: eating really healthy and then you find yourself googling unhealthy

310
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: food late at night.

311
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So I did.

312
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: That and I found like the top five vegan treats

313
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: in LA. One of them was Aaron Mcinness's Bakery or

314
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: baby Cakes, which I've already been to and I've spoken

315
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: about before, And that's where I got the vegan gluten

316
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: free like maple donut and carrot cake cupcake with the

317
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: caramel sauce. If you haven't listened, like go back to

318
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: episodes on the Friday Diary and you'll get to hear

319
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: all about that, you know. And this other company came

320
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: up called Magpies, and I was like, oh, that's dangerously

321
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: close to my house, like literally five minutes away. And

322
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: it does soft serves like vegan and soft save. So

323
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: I was about to say vegan dairy free, but vegan

324
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: is dairy free, and I was like, oh, they look good.

325
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: And then I saw this photo, wait for it, of

326
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: a fried soft serve pie.

327
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: What what?

328
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, a fried soft serve pie. Did I go and

329
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: try one? You bet your bottom dollar I did? So

330
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: it was vegan dairy free. I'm pretty sure it wasn't

331
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: totally gluten free, because I definitely felt a little bit

332
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: bloated after that. Said it's not my usual diet, but

333
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: it was so young. So basically it was a corn

334
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: an almond soft serve with a non dairy whipped cream

335
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: on top and then fried candied corn flakes.

336
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: What.

337
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a pot photo up of it when

338
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: this episode comes out, so that you can put an

339
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: image to this audio.

340
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: And in that layer of.

341
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: Fried candied corn flex was like this uzy toffee caramel stuff.

342
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: It was out of this world. It was obviously super super,

343
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: super super indulgent, but I felt very Americana, like, I

344
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: really felt like I was getting their full experience.

345
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: And of course as I'm ordering it, she's like, you know,

346
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: do you want a soft serve as well? And I

347
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: was like, ah, Yolo.

348
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: So I got a little like mini version to taste

349
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: their soft serve, and the flavor I got was maple

350
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: brown sugar soft serve, and I got candied pecans on top,

351
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: but they call them pecans. Yeah, and then I had

352
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: the soft serve fried pie, had a slice pas.

353
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: If you're liked did you bring a whole bi home?

354
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: No other size?

355
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: But I was like, it was like delicious, but like

356
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: big and super indulgent. And you'll see in the photo,

357
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: but yeah, insanely insanely delicious. Okay, I'm trying to think

358
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: what I should go to next, somem halfway through my notes.

359
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're sitting at nineteen minutes seet go.

360
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: Over one thing I do want to talk about. I

361
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: don't know if it's in my notes, so I'm going

362
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: to bring it up now. Is we went So I

363
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: don't know if you know this, but Matt's best friend

364
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: is living here at the moment, Adam with his girlfriend Isabelle,

365
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: and we went to a place called car a hotel

366
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: that my friend Jane is like, oh my goodness, you

367
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: have to go to this place.

368
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: It is incredible.

369
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: So esthetically it's like this beautiful hotel they have a

370
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 2: restaurant section though, and you can sit by the pool

371
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's like palm lined pool. I'm looking at

372
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: the photos I took now, and by the time this

373
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: comes out, I will have posted about it on Instagra

374
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: as well, because I literally we did a full blown

375
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: shoot there because it was just so beautiful. And there's

376
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: this like big long blue pool that no one swims in,

377
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: like it's probably only like I don't know, like a

378
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: foot deep, and it's lined with palm trees, and then

379
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: all the hotel rooms then lined up high. It's anyway,

380
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: it's incredible. But we ate at this beautiful hotel so

381
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: and we got cocktails, So I'm going to tell you

382
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: what we ate. I might get them menu out because

383
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: I've got photos here.

384
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: And so yummy.

385
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: Everything is biodynamic and organic, so clean, clean, clean clean. Okay,

386
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to get the dinner mignon because that's all

387
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: we went for. We booked in for dinner and the

388
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: cocktails were great, So I had two cocktails. I'll start

389
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: with telling you what cocktails I had. I had the

Speaker 2: gin with lemon and leavender honey, really yummy. It was

395
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,840

396
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: the sour really young, but nothing comes close that East

397

Speaker 2: and lime. Ten out of ten for the cocktails. And

399

00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: and we went there at six, so the light was

429

433
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:14,720

434
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: I did a Whole Foods Hall, and I just want

435
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: to check that I haven't missed anything.

436
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: On my list.

437
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 2: Oh. I got a little bit of hate on Facebook

438
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: about like someone wrote, how is Lolla're in America? Or

439
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: if you have money you can do it? And I'm like, no, Like,

440
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: if you've listened or you've watched anything I've shared, It's

441
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: been five years in the making and I've saved and

442
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: put money aside and haven't put a mortgage on a

443
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: house in order to be here. So yeah, anyway, I

444
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: just sort i'd nip that one in the bud. All right,

445
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: Whole Foods Hall, so here you've got traded Joe's Well,

446
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: so basically I think I mentioned it on the first

447
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: app or the second app. Like you've got your Calls

448
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: and Woolies versions, which is like Ralphs. I think there's

449
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: like then the next level tier up like is like Galson's.

450
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: Galsons is like Thomas Ducks, and then you've got kind

451
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: of like Whole Foods and Era one is like the

452
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: big Rolls Royce super expensive but epic and everything's ten

453
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: out of ten, but that kind of in between levels

454
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: Traded Joe's. Everyone goes to Trade Joe's because it's super delicious,

455
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: great food but also affordable, right, so you can get

456
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: like your week's worth of veggies for like fifty bucks,

Speaker 1: And stuff like that. And they sell booze there as well.

459
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: I've been not letting myself buy booze and have it

460
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 2: in the house at all because I just don't want

461
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: to get into the habit of drinking on my own.

462
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: And Boss and I drank heaps in Lockdown last year,

463
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,560

464
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's a slippery slope blowler, Whereas if I'm

465
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 2: out with friends, I'll have a cocktail or two and

466
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: really enjoy it mindfully, and that kind of feels good,

467
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: all right. Back onto the whole foods Hall. So I decided,

468
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm gonna make Mexican tacos from scratch,

469
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: and we do a really healthy version and have them

470
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: at home.

471
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: So I got all the things I need.

472
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: Avo salsa, corn totillas, Chippo's organic mince. In America, they

473
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: sell Mexican cheese which I didn't even know. It's like

474
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: a certain combo of cheese. Oh gee, I'm gonna have

475
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: a quick sip of cough ones, can you hear my

476
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: little straw? I got the stuff that I always get,

477
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: like saur kraut pickles. I tried to get oat milk

478
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: because Boss sent me some products that I've been recipe

479
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: testing for Lola coffee. He's like, you need to get

480
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: oat milk so that you can test it like plain

481
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: and with milk. And I was like, no worries. Literally

482
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 2: I couldn't find, like the milk containers here are like

483
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: three liters so big. But the hack with Whole Foods

484
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 2: is you buy their brand called three sixty five and

485
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: it's kind of like their bulk version, a bit like

486
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: how Woolies has Macro. I'm sure coals have got their

487
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: own as black and Gold coals. Anyway, my point is

488
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: like that's the hack to spending less money at Whole

489
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: food So everything I bought nearly was all three sixty

490
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: five brand, and including the oat milk. I also tried

491
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: their branded oats in a cup. It was really yummy.

492
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: So the flavor I got was brown sugar and pecan,

493
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: so I love all those real American flavors, and yeah,

494
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: I just added a bit of oat milk to it,

495
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: and it was delicious of maple and brown sugar, peacan.

496
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: It was called sorry, I got like balsamic vinegar, hormes.

497
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: Oh, and then I got this.

498
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: It's called everything but the Bagel seasoning. My bestie Andrea

499
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: got me onto it. But also she said to people

500
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: are posting about it heaps on the Gram and I

501
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: must say, it's really really delicious. I've been adding it

502
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 2: to my salads and eggs. But basically, the ingredients are

503
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: organic sesame seed, organic salt, roasted dehydrated garlic, toasted dehydrated onion,

504
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: organic black sesame seeds, organic poppy. And then I bought

505
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: the Traded Joe's version as well because I wanted to compare,

506
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: which I haven't tried the Trader Joe's version yet, but

507
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: the ingredients of sesame seed, sea salt, flake, dried mince, garlic,

508
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 2: dried mince, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds exact same thing.

509
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: And Trader Joe's actually have a like a chippy, so

510
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: Traded Joe's just like the three sixty five brand that

511
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: you find at Whole Foods. Trader Joe's have got their

512
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: own everything's Traded Joe's brand, and it's again they're more

513
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: like it's the smart way to buy financially. And so

514
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: they've got their own brand of potato chips with that seasoning,

515
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: which I got.

516
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also found it Traded Joe's.

517
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm mixing my holes right now, but it's you'll just

518
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: hear these America Kana things that I tried. I got

519
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: these popcorn, but it was Deal pickle flavor, oh so good.

520
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: Also from Trader Joe's. I got a random thing.

521
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: I've been a bit off the rails with food guys,

522
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. I got yes, So

523
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: I got these Trader Joe's popcorn in a pickle is.

524
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: It's called boldly flavored popcorn with the bite and tang

525
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: of deal pickles.

526
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Really good. And everything's big.

527
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: You can't buy like in Australia you can buy little,

528
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: like small size. Everything is like family size. And I'm

529
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: one person, so I'm consuming a lot. And then I

530
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: cried the Trader Joe's everything but the bagel seasoned kettle

531
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: cooked potato chips really good.

532
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh and then of course I was just like, Oh, Yogo.

533
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: Traded Joe's milk chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels.

534
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: What, so, do you.

535
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: Remember when you were younger miniwheats? So they're that shape

536
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: and size mini wheats, like little like cubes almost, but

537
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: they're covered in chocolate and instead of the mini wheat

538
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: bit casing, it's pretzel and inside that is peanut butter.

539
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

540
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: Ah, this was ten out of ten. This next thing

541
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: traded Joe's brand again. It's They're called soft baked sneakerdoodles.

542
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: I know what a name, right.

543
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: I love sneakerdoodles like I've always been Again, I know

00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,200

Speaker 2: butt like I love all those real American flavored things.

546
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: Sneakerdoodles are one of those things. So this was free

547
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: of wheat, milk, peanuts, tenuts, eggs, and soy, vegan and

548
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: gluten free. So they described this is how treated gels

549
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: soft beek sneakerdoodles. They're are chewy sugar cookie tarpped with cinnamon, insane,

550
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: so good. I've had sneakerdoodle cookies before, though, and I'm

551
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: obsessed with them.

552
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: How funny is saying the name.

553
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 2: I also tried the Trader Joe's dark chocolate almond butter cups.

554
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: They're really good if you I know about you. But

555
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: usually if I've.

556
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: Like indulged, like that day I had that Magpie soft

557
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: serve fried thing, the next day, I'm craving sugar, but

558
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: I want something that's not as bad, and so like

559
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: Trade Joe's has heaps of dark chocolate things. So I

560
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: would get these like dark chocolate alm and peanut buttercups

561
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: and have like fresh berries with them, and I would

562
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: find that that would be like enough to hanker my

563
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: sugar craving, but I wouldn't go ham on like you know,

564
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: crazy stuff.

565
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh diego. That's all the food stuff.

566
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: There was more stuff that I got at Whole food though,

567
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: so I'm back to Whole Foods. I got a bulletproof

568
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: cold brew, so that's like the day best aspberry school

569
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: of thought. And I got the chocolate like a Mocker coffee.

570
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: It was really good. And I had a manuscript writing

571
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: day that day and I wrote loads. Oh yes, I

572
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: forgot about this, guys. I've been off the rails with

Speaker 2: And it was so good, and it was three dollars

577
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: for a whole tub of it. And then because there's

578
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: these Instagram pages and it's like people that try things

579
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,800

584
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,920

585
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, here they are.

586
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: They're Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough chunks, snackable dough, insane.

587
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: I had them all in one day.

588
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: I felt like they would have had sugar, gluten, the works.

589
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: I felt sick after, but it was delicious and you

590
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: keep them the freezer like a frozen snack. The organic

591
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: three sixty five Whole Foods toffee caramel ice cream, which

592
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: was gluten free, that was also ten out. Both those

593
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: things were ten out of ten.

594
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: Oh so good.

595
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: I also tried to road tested a new protein bar,

596
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: the Thunderbird protein bar, which read so oh, I think

597
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: I put it here to read it too. I kept

598
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: the label. Oh my god, I did?

599
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: How good? Am I such a nerd?

600
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: So this is called a Thunderbird bar, good name, superfood bar,

601
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: plant based and paleo real food, unreal taste, zero grams

602
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: of added sugar, so it's just buy it by the bar.

603
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: The ingredients are date, almond, cacao, cashew, himalaye, pink salt.

604
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: Really good.

605
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: It tasted like have you ever tried to make a

606
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: healthy brownie like using those ingredients. It tastes exactly that.

607
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this tastes like a brownie. Really

608
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: yummy though, and a good like clean bar you know

609
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: out there with like four ingredients and you know what

610
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: all those ingredients are, which is kind of cool. But

611
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: I have just said here it says zero grams of

612
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: added sugars, but still got thirteen grams of regular sugars,

613
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: so I should have probably read that. That's probably too high.

614
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean that said, you just heard all the other

615
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 2: stuff that I've eaten, so crap pickles. Yeah, so that

616
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 2: is me obviously, Like I know you've heard all the

617
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: indulgence stuff that I've had, but like, I do balance

618
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: it out and I've been buying my you know, my
