10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: I have got such a list for you, and I

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: know I said it last week, but I am ready

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: to go for this chat. I have got my coffee,

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: getting a little coffee straw, a little slurt, my Lola

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: coffee pimped up with some collegen. This morning, I'm roadtesting

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: some protein bars. That's me jiggling packets near you that

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen in Australia, and I'm I've tried quite

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: a few different protein bars, so I thought I'll give

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: you a little road test. I know some people don't

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: really like protein bars, but the good thing about over

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: here is they do have so many clean options, which

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: is exciting. I've also since we last spoke I've got

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: my wheels and so I've done some adventuring. I've faced

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: a few fears, and you're gonna hear all about it. So, yeah,

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: welcome to your La Friday check in pod. I know,

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: if you're new to this, you might be like, hang on,

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: don't you interview people? Yes, that's our Monday episode. And

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: then on Fridays I do a little diary episode which

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: used to come to you from Byron Bay. Now it

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: comes to you from sunny Los Angeles or Los Angeles.

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, okay, where to start. I think I'm

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: going to start chronologically, because what I do is I've

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: got I'm so OCD. I've got my littlepad here, and

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I make notes as the week goes so that I

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: don't forget anything. So first of all, I picked up

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: my social Security number, so it's like your ID number here.

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: So I went and picked that up right after I

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: recorded the podcast. This time last week, I figured out

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: that I'm better in mornings for recording pods. I think

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: it's got something to do with the caffeination and the

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: line's made in my cough ones. So I picked up

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: my social Security number, and then I thought, you've got

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: the car, get outside your comfort zone, LB, you know,

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: drive somewhere, and so I thought, oh, I'll go to

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Larchmont Village. So it's not too far from me, it's

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes, and I thought that's a good way

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: to like just get used to driving on the right

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: side of the road. So I drove to Larchmont Village.

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: It's really cute, so a farmer's market there. It's a

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: really good vibe. It feels like there's a bit of

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: yogs there, although I think yoga studios here. So we're

51
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: in like not a lockdown in California. We're in like

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: a just heavy restrict so mask on, even down the

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: street when you walk into a cafe, mask on until

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: you seated and got drinks in front of you. And

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: a lot of yoga studios are still shut because if

56
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: you do a yoga class, you're expected to wear a

57
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: mask for the duration of the class. So I'm kind

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: of hanging out till the fifteenth of June, which isn't

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: far away. And I know any mail Bernie's listening to

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: this will be like, yeah, well we've been in lockdown,

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: so you're getting off scot free, which I totally am

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: and I completely acknowledge that. So yeah, So larch One

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: has got yoga studios, It's got a rite Aide, which

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: is a chemist pharmacyat It's got lots of it, like

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: a really cute like cafe culture. There's lots of like

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: ice cream shops here, and it's just got a cool

67
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: little feel. I imagine it'd be a fun place to

68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: base self because it's really close to everywhere. So I'm

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: learning that like where I live, the area that I mean,

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: it's really close for meetings. I'm not far from Where's Hollywood,

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: like ten minute drive away, seven minute drive away. Obviously,

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the key in LA is to have a car. So

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I feel very, very lucky that I have a car

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: at the moment. So I went to Larchmont Village and

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: I remembered all these years, eons and eons and years ago,

76
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: I filmed with this incredible gluten free, vegan cupcake shop

77
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: called baby Cakes New York City, and the owner, Aeron

78
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: mckinness I'm quite sure her name is. She then franchise

79
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: and set them up at Disneyland and Larchmont and I

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: think another I think in Santa Monica as well. And

81
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I walked past and I was like, oh my god,

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: well you've just got your social Security number or you've

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: got something to salibrate. So I went in all on

84
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: my lonesome and bought three items all for myself, so

85
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: all gluten free, all vegan. I got a carrot cake

86
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: cupcake with a caramel topping, so I had like a

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: frosted topping like you expect to find on a carrot cake,

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: but then like in the middle was like a little

89
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: hole full of caramel. Oh my god, so good. I

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: got a maple glazed donut, really yummy. Maple is like

91
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: a rilla mirror. KAA, well, I guess it's a it's

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: a Canadian flavor, but it's big over here. And then

93
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: I got like a cookie sandwich and the outside was

94
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: like a ginger snap cookie but soft and chewy, and

95
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: then inside was like a lemon custard curd thing so good.

96
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: They told me to just get the og the choc

97
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: chip one, and I was like, I just love spice

98
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: and ginger, so I'm going that one. And yes, I

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: had them all for lunch, didn't I bought them home

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, you can save them for dessert.

101
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Have one now, save for Aszert. Literally I just kept

102
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: walking back and having to have more and more and more.

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: I have definitely been quite the food adventure. So I'm

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: hoping now that I've you know, got all the food

105
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: adventure stuff out of my system, I am hoping that

106
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I get a little bit of a

107
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: health la routine because at the moment, I'm like, oh,

108
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: where as I want to try so Aaron mc kinnes's

109
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: bakery was unreal. Got my Social Security number, that's like

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: your ID card here. I'm still waiting on my official

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Green card, which is the holy grail. It's like your

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: golden ticket, and that's the one, the thing that's taken

113
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: me eons and eons, literally five years to get. Okay, So,

114
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: like I mentioned at large, I'm just going through my

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: list because I don't want you to be like you said,

116
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: you're going to talk about this. The Farmer's Market was

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: awesome at Larchmont. Farmers Market's a really really big here.

118
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I've heard there's a great one in Santa Monica. I

119
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: have been to it years ago. I haven't been to

120
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: it yet, although I did drive to Santa Monica and

121
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: Venice and Brentwood yesterday and Culver City, which is all

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: about an hour away from me. And highway driving, my friends,

123
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: is the real deal. So in Australia, you would know

124
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: when we get into a freeway or a highway, it's

125
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: like three lanes, four max. This is nine like I

126
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: was going to say to you, like I was like,

127
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it's nineteen lanes. It's not, but

128
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: it's nine lanes. And in Australia, you know when you

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: indicate to move into a lane. In America, you indicate

130
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: to tell people you're already moving into that lane. So

131
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: when you indicate, you literally go so scary because we

132
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: used to indicating waiting for a signal, giving a little

133
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: thank you. That doesn't exist here. You indicate move, it

134
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: means I'm moving. I did drive yesterday. I was getting

135
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: a little bit lost driving home. This didn't happen on

136
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: a highway, do not worry. But I did go on

137
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the road yesterday. So that's now

138
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: officially happened on this trip. And I was like at

139
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: a stop, like at a crossroads, and I could see

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: the driver like driving directly towards me because I was

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: on the wrong side and looking at me. Really confused.

142
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: He wasn't even angry. He was like, have I done something?

143
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh shit, I'm on the wrong

144
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: side of the road anyway. So we've done that, ticked

145
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that one off. I get my vaccine tomorrow. So so yeah,

146
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Pizer mark two. I've been told to lay low. I've

147
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: been told I can knock you around a little bit.

148
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to convince my mate Suan to come with

149
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: me because I get a bit nervous. So I've got

150
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: a long drive to go and get that as well.

151
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I've got to fill up my petrol and America is

152
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: called gas. I've got to fill up my gas as

153
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: well before it because I've rented this car for two

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: weeks and I've got to give it back on Friday

155
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and then I'll rent a new one on Monday. So

156
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out, like what's the best

157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: way for me to like, I don't know if I

158
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: should be getting a long term a car deal because

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: it's quite jacks up, like and remember, I'm not making

160
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: US dollars yet, so I'm spending Australian dollars and you

161
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: know you'll you'll go to the supermarket and spend twenty bucks,

162
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: but remember that's not twenty bucks, that's thirty five or whatever,

163
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: like so quickly, you know, quickly, you'll think you're renting

164
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: a car for you know, a couple of weeks, and

165
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: it'll be like, oh yea six hundred bucks, okay, okay,

166
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: that seems right, And then you look at your like

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Australian credit card bill and you're like, oh no, really,

168
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: well that was eight hundred dollar, isn't it just of

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine hundred? So I'm getting used to, like,

170
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a really clear perspective on it all,

171
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: and I'm trying really really hard to just not I

172
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: want to live quite lean so that I'm not like

173
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I've heard like stories with a lot of Australians that

174
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: come over here and burn like one hundred grand real quick,

175
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: and it's super common because you're working with a different

176
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: currency as well. So yeah, I'm trying quite hard to

177
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: like figure out and be quite stealth with my spending

178
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: because I'm not making dollars at the moment. Okay. So

179
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: obviously I love, you know, I love the health store.

180
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Air one, or as I've explained, era one is how

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Americans call it. Somebody wrote to me on Instagram and said,

182
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: do you know that it's nowhere spelt backwards and I

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: was like, no, no idea. So since I've spoken to

184
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: you last I've been to Era one and tried one

185
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: of their green smoothies. I think it's called the Green

186
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: Coconut Dream delicious. It's got like kale all the good

187
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: stuff in it, but it's really creamy and coconuty. It

188
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Hero Greensmoothie. We had a Happy

189
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: Place for people that don't know I used to own

190
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: a smoothie bar in Melbourne for like three and a

191
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: half years and it reminded me of like our signature

192
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: green Smiteth. It was called the Happy Place and the

193
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: air One I think it's called a Coconut Dream, reminds

194
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: me of that. So that was really nice. Sat down

195
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: had that air One, took myself on a little date,

196
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: and then I've also had that amazing Mexican taco salad

197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: that I get from Air one again because I love it.

198
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: And I've now officially tried all the variations of their

199
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie they have, So they have a usual one,

200
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: they have a vegan one, and then they have a

201
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: raw vegan one, and the raw vegan one was surprisingly amazing.

202
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Talk about pumpkin by all day long, Like, I just

203
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Americans do treats so well, pumpkin bie obviously it's like

204
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: their Thanksgiving treat. Then cookies. Americans do cookies so well,

205
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: like they're chewy on the inside and they've got no

206
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: problems doing gluten free. And Americans do amazing like healthy

207
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: alternatives of peanut butter cups. Although I have had a

208
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: bad peanut butter cup. And when I say bad, like naughty, yummy,

209
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: but naughty. So here you know how you buy Reese's buttercups.

210
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm a nutritionist, by the way, and he's me telling

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: you all the junk fitt of beaten. But here you

212
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: can buy Reese's buttercups. But you can get them in white.

213
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: You can get them for the Ultimate peanut butter Lover.

214
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: So the bit like the casing that is chocolate, you

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: can get a peanut butter lover. So the like casing

216
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: bit is chocolate, but the top is peanut butter, and

217
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: then you can get the ultimate peanut butter Lover. And

218
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing is just basically peanut butter like the

219
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: outer case, all of it. I've tried them all. I've

220
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: tried them all. I know I'm nutritious. I know I

221
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in sugar, but they're licious. Even last night,

222
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I said to Matt we'd FaceTime at night before I

223
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: get to bed, and I'm like, oh, I had a

224
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: little had little treat takers. Did you have a peanut

225
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: butter cup? And I get I go He's like, I

226
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: knew it. You're so predictable. Ah. I did try an

227
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: incredible cookie. Yesterday as well. We went to the brent

228
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Wood Country Marts. So there's an area called brent Wood.

229
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: It's not far from Santa Monica. It's really cute and

230
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: it's got villa g vibes. I got the vibe. It

231
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: was pretty affluent, so people seemed really well off there.

232
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: But I went there specifically because there's a Goop store

233
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: there and I really wanted to check out Gwyneth Paltrow's

234
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: Groop store, and I bought the Skin So I just

235
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: bought the Skins starter pack, so it's Nick's folly and

236
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: and a moisturizer. So I've been buying like sample sizes

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: of things so that I can try lots of different skincare.

238
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: While I'm here, I also went to I'll tell you

239
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: about that late Bexu. I've got that on my list

240
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: because I have done a Sephora Hall as well. Oh

241
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: but yes, we were at Brentwell Country Mark yesterday and

242
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: my friend Isabelle bought me a cookie as big as

243
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: my head and it was chocchip salted chocchip, a gluten

244
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: frey and it was as big as my head and

245
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: it was the most one of the yummiest cookies I've had.

246
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yes, so Americans do treats. So else,

247
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: I do feel like I've been on a little bit

248
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: of a food adventure. But so youm okay. So I

249
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: just want to keep making sure that I stick to

250
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: my list. I'm going to put a little marker here

251
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: of where I'm up on my list because I feel

252
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: like I should continue telling you about yesterday. So yesterday

253
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: I actually had a meeting in Culver City, and I've

254
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: got mates that live more that area, like Santa Monica,

255
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: brent Wood, and so I thought, oh, well, my meeting's

256
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: not til the afternoon. I should go there earlier in

257
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: the day and have a bit of an explorer of

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: like Venice, Santa Monica, brent Wood, and get a vibe

259
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: for like other areas of Valet that obviously I don't

260
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: live in ps I never check as I'm recording my

261
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: volume and everything. So I met my friend Isabelle. We

262
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: went to a place called Great White in Venice, which

263
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: is an Aussie cape and the logo is a great

264
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: White shark. Very cool, very cool. I got an amazing

265
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: spiral blue spirill in a bowl like think green smiinthy bowl,

266
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: but blue, and then they said have it with the

267
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: side of housemade cashi butter. And it was delicious, yum

268
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: so good. The coffee was insanely delicious, very Australian, very strong,

269
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: like really yummy strong coffee, not kicking the face strong,

270
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: but just like you got a pep in your step strong.

271
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Isabelle got like a chickpea scramble, which looked really called.

272
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: There's so much like gluten freebieg and stuff here, like

273
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: you don't even need to think. It's just on offer.

274
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: Very good. And then we kind of like checked out

275
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: the Venice boardwalk, which is called like really artzy collectic.

276
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: There's lots of like on the promenade. There's lots of

277
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: stalls selling like Mexican folk art and locally made things.

278
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: And there's heaps of cannabis dispensaries around there as well.

279
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I have not been into one yet, but yeah you can.

280
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: They're like on what feels like, on every single corner.

281
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: And then we went to Brentwood Countrymart and that's where

282
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: we got the Insane Cookie from. That's where I got

283
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: the Goop goodies, so they exfoliant and the moisturizers right.

284
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: And then I went to Colvid what I thought was

285
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Culver City for a meeting with my podcast manager that

286
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: said this. I went because my mate owns Bondo Harvest

287
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: over here, an Australian cafe in Culver City, and I

288
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: just typed in Modern Harvest and it sent me to

289
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Santa Santa Monica, which is they're not that far away

290
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: from each other. And now I got there and there

291
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: was no Bondo halfs. It was called Bluey's, a cave

292
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: called Blues and I was like, oh my goodness, what's happened.

293
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: And I was really early, so I thought, oh, I'm

294
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: sure it's just changed its name. And I just texted

295
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: the person I was having a meeting with, and I

296
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's changed. Its same to blue Eyes.

297
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: But I'm here, I get it called Laura. I'm at

298
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Bondai has actually Americans called Bondai Bondi, I'm at Bandy

299
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: horrorst And I was like, of course I forgot that

300
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: that's an American thing Bandy instead of Bondi. And anyway,

301
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: I'd gone to the wrong location. I hadn't, I just

302
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: but it turned out the Bondo Harvest in Culver City

303
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: was running a private event. So podcast manager came to me.

304
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: We had a delicious little trade. They do like whole

305
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: food bowls, smoothies, gluten free banana bread, so much yummy stuff.

306
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: I've of course got the gluten free banana bread because eyolo,

307
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: it was really good. It's like a choc chip gluten

308
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: free banana bread. Okay, so that was yesterday. In the highways.

309
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Of course, getting on and off the highways scary driving

310
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: around LA. You can totally get your head around that

311
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: in like half a day maybe less, maybe like an hour.

312
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: You can kind of get your head around that one.

313
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: But the highways is insane. So just to put it

314
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: into perspective, you'll be you'll like, do Google Maps before

315
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: you go and you'll be like, oh great, that'll take

316
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: me forty minutes, and as you get onto the highway,

317
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: your map's updates and just goes red, like you know

318
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: how it goes like green, orange, red, and then it's

319
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: like quickly becomes a sixty minute trip without you even

320
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: realizing it kind of things. So, yeah, if you've got

321
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: to go somewhere from a meeting in LA, one hundred percent,

322
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: just give yourself like double time or extra time. Things

323
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: just take so much longer than you'd realize or that

324
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: you'd think. So yeah, know that about LA. If you're

325
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: over here and driving and highways, Look, wasn't easy. Wouldn't

326
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: say it's my favorite thing, Like I'm I'm glad that

327
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: I did it, but I am also like not jumping

328
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: at it again, like I'm like, wow, that was intense.

329
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't mind me. I'm just having a swigo of coffee.

330
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to check my list of goodies here. Oh

331
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: so I also went to a Target. It was half

332
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: a Target and half a CBS and had a Starbucks

333
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: inside it. I just wanted to check it out. I've

334
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: heard that the CV. Well, I haven't been to CBS

335
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: and ages, but I've heard that the CBS is and

336
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: targets here are just like another level. It's really good.

337
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: But the weird thing is, I guess we do have

338
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: this in Australia, but the targets have like full blown food,

339
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: not just like dry goods like cereals and chocolate and

340
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: protein bars, which some targets in Australia have, but they've

341
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: got like a fresh produce section. They've got ready made

342
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: salads and sandwiches and very interesting, very very interesting. And yeah,

343
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: but I mean it's great if you need things that

344
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: aren't going to cost too much. Basically, so I think

345
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: I picked up a little MISCAA to try there. Do

346
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: I get a bar? I usually try and buy health

347
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: bars when I'm to discover new health bars when i'm

348
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: there the grove. Okay, so anyone listening, PS, I'm just

349
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: going through this list of places I've been so since

350
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: I've got the car each day, so I'll work in

351
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: the morning, I'll really work quite heavily on my manuscript

352
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: for about four or five hours, and then I'll be like,

353
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: all right, take yourself out on a little adventure. And

354
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: the adventure can be traded Joe's, it can be whole foods,

355
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: it can be erawon, it can be anything. But one

356
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: day I was like, you're going to the grove. Caught

357
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: up with a mate who lives near the grove just

358
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: for a coffee before and then ducked into the grove.

359
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Just wanted to get a vibe for it. And also

360
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: it's such a cool vibe, like it's really it's like

361
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: an outdoor shopping mall. They've got an Nordstrom, a Sephora

362
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: if anyone's into incare. Charlotte Tilbury has her own store there.

363
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: There's a big Apple there, there's clothing stores like J Crew,

364
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: there's all top shoppers there, and then they've got a

365
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: farmer's market section as well, which is like an eatery section.

366
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: In fact, the Brentwood Country might remind me a bit

367
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: of like a mini grove, but brent Wood maybe was

368
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: like a bit more lux whereas this was a bit

369
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: more like anyone can go to the grove and have

370
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: a great time. So yeah, I went to at the grove.

371
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: It was unreal. I went to Sephora, I actually a

372
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: big shop around. I checked out Nordstrom first because they've

373
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: got all like the lux brands, which I quite like

374
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: Nordstrom because I can usually get the type of sunnies

375
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: I love, and I was looking Boss Loves Ray Band,

376
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: So I was like sneakily having a little look for

377
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: him because I don't we we're trying to figure out,

378
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know if i'll be back for our

379
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: birthdays or not. I don't think I will be. I

380
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: think I'll be here, and so I've been trying to

381
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: like research it to like little cute pres wanos for him.

382
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't listen this deep in the pot.

383
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. I think he listens to

384
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: the start. He's editing literally eight podcasts at the moment,

385
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: because I'll be like, oh, just listen to my Friday

386
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: and he's like nah. So I digress. Before I went

387
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: to I did a hall, I did a full bone hole.

388
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: I bought Kate Salmerville cleanser. I got an is It nas.

389
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: I got a nase like mascara, so I bought like

390
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: a cheapy one at Target just to see me through

391
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: because my other one was on the brink. So I

392
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: got a really nice mascar I get to use eventually.

393
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: I bought that Peter Thomas Roth I think is the

394
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: brand A sampler pack of all his masks that thatcher

395
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: moisturizing spray claw. I think it's called Claude Toning spray.

396
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 1: So I just got like all this stuff to kind

397
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: of see me you, and I bought all small amounts

398
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: so that I can figure out what I really like

399
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: here and you know, enjoy amazing skinkar hit The skinky

400
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: here is so much fun and it's really addictive. You

401
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: could spend so much money in time. I spent a

402
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of time in Sphora, and when I was buying

403
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: the misca, I said to the car I was like,

404
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: he's really us sales isn't was so helpful. Everyone in

405
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: America is like anything you ask is never too much.

406
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: It feels a bit like a culture shock because in

407
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: Australia you kind of left your own devices when you shop,

408
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and Ozzie's kind of like that, whereas here it's like, hey,

409
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: what can I do? How are you going? Like they're

410
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: really and I was like, I'm going to buy this,

411
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: and I had a sampler kit for a different face mask.

412
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 1: He's like, look, it's good. It's definitely not the best,

413
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: And the one that I ended up going with was

414
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: half the price of the one I had picked up,

415
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: so they genuinely want you to have a better product,

416
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: which I love. But I said, oh, do you know

417
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: a good mescar And he walked me over to this

418
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: Nahs Muscara and he's like and it's sex proof and

419
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, that's great. Not super handy

420
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: for me while I'm here, but that's great to know.

421
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Very funny. Anyway. Oh another thing was on the weekend,

422
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: got invited to a movie screening. Oh one more thing, Grove,

423
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: Sephora Grove. I parked in the multi level car park,

424
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: big thing in LA. A lot of people have fears

425
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: of multi level car parks here because of earthquakes. You know.

426
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: I parked the multi level car park. I didn't like

427
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: my credit card because I'm using an Aussie credit card,

428
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: so that was a little adventure of like finding a

429
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: ticket machine that took paper one dollar notes. Anyway, I

430
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: managed to get out and get myself sworted. I'm learning

431
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: about parking as well, like a lot of the like

432
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Whole Foods and Ones, CBS's, Galson's. I went to a

433
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: Galson's last night, which is a supermarket. They've got their

434
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: own parking, so that usually takes the drama out of

435
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: like paid parking. Also interesting, there's so much free street

436
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: parking here. It's very different. And if you do do

437
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: paid parking, it's like two dollars, whereas in Australia can

438
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: be a lot more I've found. Anyway, ah, so on

439
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: the weekend I got invited to a movie screening. So

440
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know the difference between movie screening and a premiere.

441
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: So premiere is like red carpet roll out all the

442
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: stars of the movie. A screening is like a preview,

443
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: so you get to see it before it hits the public.

444
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: And we got invited to this screening and it was

445
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: called King for King Richard. So it's a movie. Will

446
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: Smith is the lead, and it's a movie about the

447
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Williams sisters, the incredible talented, world famous tennis players. It's

448
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: about the father and Will Smith plays the lead. And anyway,

449
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: we got invited to this screening, but because of all

450
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: the lockdown, all the restrictions, they were only allowed to

451
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: feel the cinemat of twenty five percent capacity, so we

452
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: didn't get in, but we I got free tickets. So

453
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: the plan is this weekend to go to Kruala, the

454
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: new emmastone movie, that's the plan. So I haven't been

455
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: to a movie in America yet ever in my life,

456
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: so I'm really really excited. Oh so because we missed

457
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: the movie because we got there and they're like, sorry,

458
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: we were only taking twenty five percent of people in.

459
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: We're like, what do we do? I had a podcast

460
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: book for the evening, so I still had the whole

461
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: day free, and we went to a plant based Mexican

462
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: place in West Hollywood called Gratzius Madre Insane. I got

463
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: these tacos that had oyster mushrooms as like the meaty bit,

464
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: and then we of course got guawk and spicy dip.

465
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: My friends Sean and Cammi having got like a Mexican

466
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: whole food bowl, and Sean got like a diy like

467
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: make your own tofu scramble burrito, brecky burrito kind of thing,

468
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: but you made up your own little tacos. All delicious,

469
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: all ten out of ten. Absolutely loved it and really cool,

470
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: like outdoor vibe. It'd be fun for like margs as

471
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: well if you wanted to go out for a rug.

472
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: But because I had a podcast, I was like, there

473
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: is no way I'm going to have an alcohol drink

474
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: before a pod because I'll be probably what's the saying,

475
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: loose lips and ships. I could see myself having zero filter,

476
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: although I have pretty much zero filter. Then next day

477
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: I caught up with mates in life. I went back

478
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: to LARCHMMP and caught up with mates Adam and Isabelle

479
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: and we went to Cafe Gratitude, same owners as Gratzi

480
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: as Mardre. So Cafe Gratitude is plant based and the

481
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: menu is really interesting. It's like, oh, I should get

482
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: it up for you, so you order. Actually, Cafe Gratitude

483
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: became a huge inspiration for Lower Coffee. So I'm just

484
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: trying to find it because I looked it all up

485
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: on my I'm gonna look it up right now. Cafe Gratitude,

486
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: it became a huge, huge inspo for Happy Place because

487
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: I just loved the concept. I love the the idea

488
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: behind it all really really cool anyway, So Adam Nizbah

489
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: hadn't been before. But it's like Uber Health Vibes, plant based,

490
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: so much gluten free, but you order in present tense

491
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: of a happy feeling. So for example, I ordered a

492
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: this like blue spirillen, and there's quite a blue spirillina

493
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: theme to me at the moment, A blue spirillen a drink,

494
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: and it was cool. So this is what I ordered

495
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: you ready, I've got my laptop open here and I'm

496
00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: a little swige of coffee. It's nice having my little

497
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: coffee with you. So I ordered an antioxidant spirollina late

498
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: and that's called I am Cosmic. And so it's got hempseed, milk,

499
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: blue spirillina, raichi chaga, raw honey, served hot or iced.

500
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: I got it hot. In America, you always have to

501
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: ask if you want stuff hot or iced or in

502
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: California releast. And so then when the girl comes to

503
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: your table, they say who ordered the who ordered? I

504
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: am cosmic? And you go me And then she puts

505
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: it in front of you and she goes, you are

506
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: a cosmic. Right. Adam ordered a chilato, So his was

507
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: I am charmed? Who ordered an I am charmed? Adam

508
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: puts his handle, that was me, You are charmed, and

509
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: it gets put in front of you. Right. It's very

510
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: funny but cool and amazing and such a fun concept.

511
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: So Adam got the Vivid, which is an Asaii super

512
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: food bowl. It actually looked like the winner dish. I

513
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: will say I think he probably picked the best of

514
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: the bear so crispy, quemoa, cashi, granola, coconut, banana, missberries,

515
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: ginger syrup, add your choice of two toppings inkerberries, almond butter, cocao, nip, coconut, yogurt, hempseed,

516
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: rawany yum. So they were like, you're a vivid What

517
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: did I get? I got the pancakes. What are they called? Um? Unique? No,

518
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: housemade superfood, smoothies, coffee maybe it's not here, breakfast salad starters.

519
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I wonder what mine was called? Glas a glorious no.

520
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: And then Isabel got this like Keisha thing with salad anyway,

521
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: basically just to give you an idea like that, It's like,

522
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I am dynamic, I am community, I am giving, I

523
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: am a static, I am a electic, I am sharing,

524
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: I am exquisite, I am comforted, I am thriving. So yeah,

525
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: it's such cool concept. Everything is really really healthy, so

526
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: much good and free, so much vegan stuff, A lot

527
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: of fun to take friends that haven't been before because

528
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: you get the experience, the full blown cafe gratitude experience.

529
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: Funny story about cafe gratitude, how I found out about it.

530
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Not a whatever lie. This story is one hundred percent true.

531
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: I was working at a health food store in Melbourne at

532
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: the time called Ripe in Albert Park and it's not

533
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: there anymore. And I just got back from America and

534
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: I was bitten by the bug. I was like, I'm moving.

535
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: I've got to figure out a way. Like that's how

536
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: long this dream has been. And I would have only

537
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: been like twenty four, twenty three, twenty three, and Moby

538
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: came into this shop. So I'm trying my Vindia chee.

539
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: But Moby is a musician, amazing music producer. I used

540
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: to do all the festivals like Falls Festival and whatnot

541
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: in Australia, and so it was obviously in Australia for festivals,

542
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: doing sideshows in Melbourne and he came into this health

543
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: food shop and he was getting all these organic ingredients.

544
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: Pretty sure he's vegan, plant based anyway. I was just

545
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: chatting to him and like, I love the American accent.

546
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: So I was like, ah, where are you from and

547
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm from New York. I think he was

548
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: from New York. He owned a vegan cafe at the

549
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: time in New York called thirteen Candles or something. Anyway,

550
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: I was serving him and you know me like chatty Kathy,

551
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, you're American. I've just got back.

552
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm actually moving there, Like had no idea how I

553
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: was moving there, but I've had just set that in

554
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: my mind. And I was like, oh, where's good health spots?

555
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: And he made me a full blown list. Cafe Gratitude

556
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: was one of them, and then I go, well, here's

557
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: my card, like, let's say to it. I didn't hadn't

558
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: fully jeried that it was Momby at this stage of

559
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: the game. His credit card said Richard. So I was

560
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: just like, oh, what a cool American. He emailed me

561
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: straight away because I'd given him my card and he

562
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: was like, hey, it's Moby. Do you want to come

563
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: to my show tonight? And I was like oh ah,

564
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: and went to his show, went to his after parties

565
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: after he was like homemss karat sticks. He made juices. Anyway,

566
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: we stayed Pempals for like three years, and every time

567
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: I go to America or he give me a list

568
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: of places to try there you go. So that's how

569
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: I learned about cafek Gratitude, Good Old Moby. Also, his

570
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: music's amazing, especially if you're a Yogi as well. He's

571
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: got this album called Ala or like Ambience La. It's

572
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: really good. Okay, back to my list. I told you

573
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: I had a big list for you today. Okay, Cafe

574
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: Gras you're done. Oh yeah, there's a humongous Era one

575
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Air one Era one at the Grove, like a huge one.

576
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: So if you want to have the Grove experience, there's

577
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: a big air One there. You can park at the

578
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: Air one car markets free, and then there's also a

579
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: big whole foods across the road in a big CBS.

580
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: So like just so you know, if you want the

581
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: big air One experience, the one at the Grove is humongous.

582
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: That's where I tried the greens video I was telling

583
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: you about. That's where I tried the vegan punk like. Oh,

584
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: I tried some great coffee. So I had my meeting

585
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: with the bank on Monday, and turns out in each

586
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: actual green card to get open a Mang account here.

587
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: But I saw there was a coffee shop around the corner.

588
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I just feel like having a takeaway coffee,

589
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: and I went to a place called Blue Bottle and

590
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: that was really great coffee, really really yummy coffee. And yeah,

591
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: yesterday I was trying to go to Bondo Harvest, but

592
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: I ended up at Bluey's and then Great White yesterday.

593
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Now we're going to get onto protein bars because I

594
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: have made notes on protein bars for you guys. Can

00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: out the American guests, so there won't be too much

612
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: for a lag is what I'm getting at, which is cool.

613
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: All right. So I have a bowl here of my

614
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: props ipe. You can hear it all my protein bars

615
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: there you go, okay, But I've also made a list

616
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: of them as well. Let me get my list up, okay.

617
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: So I found this one at Irawan. It's called a

618
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: good to go bar Keito, only two grams of sugar.

619
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: And the thing that I loved about this bar is

620
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: that all the ingredients I understood, so it was like

621
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: almor meal, coconut ol like. It was really easy. There

622
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: was no additives, and it was really soft. It was

623
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: like if you like that cookie, kind of like cookie

624
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: dough soft bar. It was really soft, not hard, not

625
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: like gummy or anything like that. That was really cool.

626
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: So that's called a good to go bar. I've also

627
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: tried since i've been here bulletproof bars. So David Asbury

628
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: is huge over here, and he's got the bulletproof lab.

629
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: If you're not sure what bulletproof is. He's big on

630
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: when you meet your coffee in the morning, adding MCT

631
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: oil so medium chain triglycerides and ghee or clarified butter,

632
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: mixing it all up and then kind of having like

633
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: a key tone fat coffee in the morning and that

634
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of seeing you through till lunchtime. He's also got

635
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: loads of bars, so I've tried the blueberry cobbler, I've

636
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: tried the lemon pie. That one's really really good with

637
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: the lemon cookie. The chocchip is also great, the mint

638
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: is awesome, and they're all here, like they're at every

639
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: health food store in Australia. You kind of have to

640
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: hunt them out if you're in Melbourne. I'm pretty sure

641
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: around health Foods sells them. They're really good if you're

642
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: into like Keytoe living. So they're quite high fat, quite

643
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: high calorie and high protein, but very very low carbohydrate.

644
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: That's the key behind those ones, and they kind of

645
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: keep you going. I packed actually some bars that I

646
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: love from Australia only got one of these ones, so

647
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: this is called a smart bar. I get these in

648
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: Australia and I've only got one left. And these are

649
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: really really clean. But if you're in Australia you can

650
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: totally get them and They are raw cold press, Way

651
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: protein isolate, prebotic fiber, no nasties at all, one seventy cow,

652
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: which is pretty good. Ingredients are super clean protein, Way isolate, protein,

653
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 1: natural prebotic fiber, almond, coconut, stevia, natural flavor, sea salt,

654
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: pretty darn clean. So that's an Australian brand, Smart Protein Bar.

655
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: I can't get them here, so I have been kind

656
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: of like trying to make them last. If that makes sense.

657
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: Then I've found this brand. Actually I've found a few brands.

658
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't know where to start. I've got

659
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: so many notes. There's this vegan one that is called

660
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: I think it's called like the Garden of like it's

661
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: vegan garden, I think anyway, So that's really good if

662
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: you want to be stay vegan. It does taste like

663
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: vegan protein to me. This vegan garden once it's got

664
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: a little the logo as a garden, like someone with

665
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: a garden. Mickey Wildon, who I jumped on her pod

666
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: a while ago, Hope was saying that way Willarden, Sorry,

667
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: Micky Willarden. She told me to try no cow protein bar.

668
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: So these ones are dairy free. Twenty two grams of

669
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: plant protein, one gram of sugar. The flavor that I've

670
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: got here is sticky cinnamon roll. But I tried their

671
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: birthday cake and I was really good. This is one

672
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: ninety cows, twenty two grams of protein, only one gram

673
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: of sugar. So for me, I try and stay away

674
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: from sugar, and you want to stay away from the

675
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: bad stuff if you can. The og protein bar that

676
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: people talk about is called Quest Bar. They're not considered

677
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: as clean as some, but you do get delicious flavors

678
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: with them. You get high protein and very low sugar.

679
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: So the ice sometimes we'll go request. This brand reads

680
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: quite similar. It's called one twenty grams of protein, one

681
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: gram of sugar, certified gluten free, and these flavors are

682
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: real Americana. So this is why I love these maple

683
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: glaze donut I've got here. This one here is lemon cake.

684
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: I haven't tried it yet, And this one is Americans

685
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: love this flavor birthday cake. Another flavor that's iconically American

686
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: that we don't have at all in Australia, but there

687
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: is literally so they sell all different types of cookies, right,

688
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: but there's this thing called sugar cookie. Sugar cookie is

689
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: like a plain white cookie, but then it's got like

690
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: a obviously sugar sugary but they often have like a

691
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: frosting on top with hundreds and thousands I don't know

692
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: if they call them hundreds and thousands here. So that

693
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: wombar also has a plant version. So the flavor that

694
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: I got here is turo so like those cinnamon sticks.

695
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: Twelve grams of protein, one gram of sugar, one sixty cow.

696
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: So that's kind of like I usually look for. The

697
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: high protein plant based ones sometimes don't taste as good,

698
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: so these I'm just trying another plant based one bar.

699
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: It's called There's Banana nut Bread. And the other flavor

700
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: I got was carrot cake. As you know, I've got

701
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: a sweet tooth and love carrot cakes. Oh and the

702
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: smart bar flavor that I have left from Australia here

703
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: is coconut, but they do a really yummy macadamia honey one.

704
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: There you go. There's my little bars for you. I'm

705
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: sure you can get a hold of them online. I'm

706
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: just checking my little my little list. Bosco is gonna

707
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: kill me. I've gone over time, guys. I've done a

708
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: forty minute chat with you. I hope it wasn't too randy.

709
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't want it to be too randy, but I

710
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: wanted to like be honest, and I'm gonna say this

711
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: on the pods that I have to hold myself accountable.

712
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: I want to do a little cleanse while I'm here

713
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: because it's like the king of like cleanses. I've checked out.

714
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: Irawan does them, Creation does them, and Lassons my local

715
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: place does them. So I'm thinking I'm going to do

716
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: it like very glint green juice kind of cleanse like

717
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: what I In Australia. I often do karmic if you're

718
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: in Melbourne or Victoria. The karmic cleans is my absolute favorite.

719
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: But here I want to kind of like do that

720
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: too because I've been really loving indulging and trying new places.

721
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: But I'm like, oh, my goingness, you got to pull

722
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: the handbrake up. So I am going to try and

723
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: do a little cleans especially with the vaccine, the second

724
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: one can really knock your immune system around. So yeah,

725
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: I will report back on the cleanse situation here. And

726
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: now that I've told you that means I can't cheat.

727
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: Now there you go. There's your La life diary. If

728
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: you to summarize. So if you're gonna drive here, prepare

729
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: yourself for highways. Opening a bank account is harder than

730
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: you think. Americans are really great at cookies, peanut butter

731
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: things and let peanut butter cups and what else. Oh

732
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: bowls just like health bowls. Smoothies and health bowls. Amazing. Ps.

733
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,359

736
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: There's like over twenty I think there's like twenty three

737
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,239
